1971 Vision Of The Night

C. Alan Martin
I am reminded by a few that many of the new subscribers may not be aware of my 1971 vision of the night and how it
relates to the history of the US from the 1950s into the next century.
A short recounting is this:
I was given a vision of the night that depicted the last 12 presidents of the US. Each administration was represented by a
house on a street (called Washington Street incidentally). These houses (starting with the house representing
Eisenhower) proceed through till two presidents from now... (2 after Clinton). I was given this in 71, when Nixon was
president. The sixth house past Nixon (Nixon Ford Carter Reagan-Bush-CLINTON) was center stage of the dream. This
house was shrouded in deep dark clouds. The clouds came right down and almost touched the roof. The lights were on in
the house, and the back door drew special attention. To the north of the house was an arch of 6 stars. The sixth star fell
to earth. Two large tunnels opened in the thick dark clouds through which I could also see the sun turned black and the
moon to blood. These images are symbolic of the fall of a leader (6th star from Nixon fell) the fall of the nation (the sun
black) and the judgement of the church (red moon). There are other elements of the vision of the night that can be found
on the web site.
I have really been holding by breath for some time now. Based on this vision of the night, I (in 91-92) said that Clinton
would be re-elected for a second term and would not finish his second term. Up till last week (with an approval rate of
62%) it was hard to believe that he would fall. Yet the events of the last week seem to be pointing us toward that
possibility.
Why would the Lord tell us this 27 years ago? (the earliest record of the vision I can find is in a journal I have from 1973).
It will be 27 years ago in February that I received this. It was actually in response to a prayer. I knew that difficult times
were coming and was taught that we were to be raptured out of the trouble. But something in my spirit said no. My
prayer was out of that troubled spirit. In response, this dream was telling me that we would be here, that great changes
would take place when we see this president fall, and that we should not be troubled! He can save us and keep us safe
rapture or no.
You see, right after the fall of the sixth star, I turned to the east fully expecting to see the Lord coming in the sky, which
is the rapture theory that I had been taught and had prayed about. I did not know what the word of wisdom was then, and
this dream really had a profound effect on my spiritual life. It was by far the most powerful spiritual experience in my life. I
walked around in a daze for days!
What to look for:

(1.) Gore will become president.-GREAT CONFUSION!!!
(2.) Great problems for the country and believers.
(3.) An outpouring in response to persecution.
(4.) Historic events in the Mideast.
(5.) A great destruction in the US. I wish I could be more specific. In the dream I saw a man who looks a great deal like
Gore who presided over the destruction. I am really still up in the air about this. For many many years I thought this
figure in the dream was the Antichrist (it is still that way on the web page). It still may be. Some have written to me and
stated very strongly that they believe the person I present on the page is Gore. It could be. There is a resemblance.
(6.) Realize that this is happening is for several reasons:

Abortion
Witchcraft
Lust
Light treatment of spiritual things
In the church:
modernism and tradition
The overall rejection of faith and spiritual things.
The Lord is saying "Why are you ashamed of me?
More later.

End Time Prophetic Vision
1998 Part III

Bob Laflin
I want to thank all of you who have read my last two newsletters on "1998" and have taken them to heart. I have had
some interesting confirmational comments as the Lord is speaking to many about the same things. Some are making
copies for friends. One sister called and mentioned that she had placed these prophesies on the internet and had had
many responses to them. another told me that he was distributing Part I at the Post Office where he works in
Washington State. This demonstrates to me the hunger for prophetic insight in a world full of questions.
During the first six months of 1998 there will be two dominant forces that will effect our life in America as never before. It
will change our nation forever. The first is WAR and the second is REVELRY. The was I saw will be waged on five fronts:
the family, the Middle East, our government, the entertainment industry and false teachers. Each one of these fronts will
take a toll upon the health of the nation and will produce a cloud that will hang over the country. It will seem to never burn
off. I remember a couple of years ago when we had a lot of
days in northern California when all it did was rain, rain, rain. People were getting so wearing of it come psychologists
were prescribing the pressures of these battles, people will resort to REVELRY to get through.
As the people turn to all kinds of PLEASURES FOR A SEASON, many will shirk all responsibility and live for the day.
Many will deny that anything is wrong and make irrational decisions because it will be easier than facing their problems.
While the nation is battling these two forces, the Lord will call true believers to COME UP ON THE MOUNTAIN to seek
Him.
This will mean fasting, prayer, intercession, a call to purity as well as believing the Lord for the miraculous. God will bring
the church to a place of great intercession' six months of serious asking, seeking, and knocking. After this time, it will be
as the events of Exodus 32 all over again. This chapter discuses the account of the GOLDEN CALF. Moses and Joshua
were called to ascend Mr. Sinai to receive the Law. Joshua stayed at a distance while Moses stood in the presence of
God. As they descended from the mountain the scripture says.
And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, "There is a noise of war
in the camp." But he said, "It is not the voice of those who shout in victory, Nor is t the voice of those who
carry in defeat, But the voice of those who sing that I hear." Exodus 32:17-18 (NKJV)
In the months to come the world around you will be filled with a lot of noises. War cries, pain of marriages gone awry,
children seeking solace, grotesque groans that were once done in silence will be put on loud speakers for everyone to
experience, judges screaming at defendants who have been "found out", disease-ridden patients demanding the final drug
and mothers giving birth unwanted children. Churches will see a resurgence of God seeking individuals coming to the
church to pray and ask forgiveness when no one else is around. Deep groanings will be heard in many sanctuaries by
pastors who are in their offices. Lots of noises!
You might be asking how some of these things will play out in our everyday living. I will deal with that question in detail in
the following newsletters. But, for now, I will say that the divorce rate will continue to soar this year, and don't be
surprised at what you hear about Iraq and Israel and US involvement. It's not the chemical and biological warfare that will
determine Middle East dominance. It's the victories won over the prince of Persia in the heavenlies that will count.
Concerning our government, I shared with you in Part II to prepare for the next president and new leadership. Right now,
the Lord is opening up "hidden things", and this will continue to happen. He's not through unveiling. He is walking through
Washington D>C> and Hollywood, and is revealing truth to those who will hear it. Be careful who you listen to this year.
Many...many false teachers will lead many astray this year. This will be very frustrating to the believer who is praying for
and witnessing to friends and family.
False teachers will be everywhere and very hard to detect. IT would be great if they had a sign hung around their neck in
bold letters saying. "I AM A FALSE TEACHER!" But, since they don't, just be aware that they are very deceptive and
dangerous especially to new believers.
II Peter 2:1 says that "there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring destructive heresies, even denying
the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction." In the Greek, it gives the idea that these teachers
will bring heretical teachings ALONG SIDE the truth. These teachings will be on a parallel journey with the truth but they
will be false. It will take a knowledge of scripture and a spiritually sensitive eye to discern and route out these teachings
that sound like the truth, look like the truth, feel like the truth but have no solid scriptural base. Beware!
More about 1998 next month.

Please pray ..
for my family for our ministry for my spring schedule for my health

The First Thunder

Bob Neumann
Preface
to whomever may read this WORD....
It seems a long time ago since I called on HIS NAME and found not only forgiveness but reconciliation and purpose.
Many would try to speak of ''ministry'' and ''office'' when it is nothing more than ''obedience'' and ''duty''; to stand forth in
the congregation and speak the WORD as an oracle or to sit at pen and paper and to transcribe what is literally the
same. We can play games with semantics but it matters little when THE LION ROARS. The issue has never changed.
GOD IS FAITHFULL and HIS NAME IS JEALOUS.
Hear the words of a woman whose prayer and supplication were heard by the MOST HIGH
THE SONG OF HANNAH.
1 Samuel 2:1-11
1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my
mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of
knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the
barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among
princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath
set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man
prevail.
10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the
LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his
anointed.
11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
Habakkuk 2:2-3
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run
that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for
it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (KJV)
There are many in the land today who speak of ''their'' dreams and visions. Likewise there are many who say 'I have heard
the LORD' and demand an audience. They proclaim their words, dreams, visions and challenge any questions and
comments.
Instead of dialogue they move from diatribe to curses...all 'in the name of the lord'. My only question is who is their lord?
There are many voices now in the heavenlies. Many claims that do not measure with the LOGOS. Little revelation is
coming from those who spit curses in response to civil questions. False brethren are plentiful and quick to trap and trip
up any who have a TRUE WORD. What is becoming more plentiful are the false prophets and teachers that speak 'old
rhema' over and over when THE MOST HIGH speaks of new things. Those who speak the new and timely will be put
aside or even attacked to stop the release of what THE LORD now does.
Isaiah 30:7-14
7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their
strength is to sit still.
8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever
and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us
smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and
perverseness, and stay thereon:
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking
cometh suddenly at an instant.
14 And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare:
so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water
withal out of the pit. (KJV)
The vision I will begin to speak of is not mine, nor did I ask for it. The ''fullness'' of it still is beyond my grasp. At first I
thought it to enclose the FIRST THUNDER. Yet this is but one ''storm'' that will bring forth all SEVEN THUNDERS. As I
pray and travail within what I have been shown I see more THUNDERS awaiting within the vision. How they will present
themselves I will wait upon my LORD for it is HE WHO NOW DECREES HIS JUDGMENT AGAINST THOSE WHO USE
AND ABUSE HIS MOST HOLY NAME.
''A WATCHER"
Job 7:17-21
17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
18 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark
against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the
dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. (KJV)
.When I first heard HIS VOICE and in ''the night'' answered ''here am I'' I did not know or understand the future steps
choreographed that I now must dance to, even if I am the only one who hears the melody. To be HIS SERVANT is all I
asked without any preconceptions or hidden agendas. To sit in the shadows and to do battle or intercede is easy, takes
little more than being willing and obedient.
But to go forth and proclaim requires that you make yourself visible briefly. In that time you become a target and the
blows must be taken. The reality of counting the cost comes full circle when you are wounded and mocked by those you
had called family, by those you thought as friend. It is the price required.
Such is the calling of HIS WATCHMEN.
And then one day THE KING calls you to stand and not to walk away; to stand without speaking; to simply listen and to
come into an agreement with THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT; to acknowledge and to bear witness to what has been spoken;
to give the testimony before the ETERNAL JUDGE that which was done against HIS HOUSE by those who were called
to serve HIM.
To be a WATCHER, and bear WITNESS not only to the offenses but to WITNESS the verdict of JUDGMENT by THE
MOST HOLY HIMSELF.
So today I stand and hand to you THE DECREE that THE MOST HOLY gives, as HE now DEMANDS....
Daniel 4:13
I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from
heaven; (KJV)
Now it begins....
Habakkuk 3:1-3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in
the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Selah
THE FIRST THUNDER
1) The Prideful Arrogance of HIS FALSE/WICKED SERVANTS

THE ILLUSIONS THAT THEY CLOTHE THEMSELVES IN WILL BE STRIPPED AWAY. NAKED AND ASHAMED WILL
THEY STAND BEFORE THOSE THEY HAVE MANIPULATED AND DECEIVED FOR THEIR OWN GLORY AND THEIR
OWN GAIN. THEIR COVERING WILL BE REMOVED AND THEIR DEEDS SHALL NOW BE JUDGED.
As in previous visions I was in the place of VISION and wearing a full hooded cloak as I have seen the MASTER wear.
But this time I stood alone in a great enclosed area. The floor was ''dusty'' and scattered debris covered the ground. The
air smelled rancid and bitter and the taste in my mouth quickly matched the smell. The ''air'' was hazy and I noticed the
dullness of my vision as I looked out around me was the combination of dull contrived lighting and this ''hazy air''.
Quietly I began to hear a melody and I began to walk as THE HOLY ONE nudged me toward the source of the music. As
I got closer it became both louder and I began to recognize snatches of tunes. As I recognized the source of the
discordant music I recognized the melody as a ''march'' I had heard as a child. And the ''instrument'' as a steam calliope.
Like some marches (this one by Straus) THE RADITZKY March was one danced to more than marched to. Only there
was no one marching or dancing. The ''music'' filled the air just as the ''haze'' filled the air, to fill in blank areas.
Suddenly I was aware of being in a great circus tent. The haze had prevented me from seeing the top or the far walls. But
now I began to see and hear most clearly. The covering was not that high and to either side the walls were much closer
than I had thought. In the center was the classic ring and simple bleachers were on either side, the kind you put up and
tear down as you travel.
As I approached the ring I noticed the lights dim and the music picked up as I prepared to see ''the show'' begin.
With a fan fare that reminded me of a certain other arena two performers came into the center of the ring arms raised to
the anticipated ''applause'' of the crowd. One was male, the other female.
The male wore a tight fitting suit like costume in bright blue with sequins. His hair was sculptured and lifted into a
pompadour. The makeup he wore under the lights hid both age and the signs of consumptive disease. The female wore a
flesh tone body suit with stiletto heals and a similar blue and sequined bodice that was both tight and attempting to be
alluring. Like her counterpart the built up hair and heavy makeup were as much illusion as possibly camouflage, to create
an image presentable. An image in one part seducing at the same time acceptable and anticipated.
Like all ''good'' theater the moves and dialog were scripted in advance and performed with exaggerated precision. On cue
the act appeared and took it's prescribed position within the ring. First came the trained Shetland ponies followed by the
dogs of variable sizes, breeds, and ages. Like a precision instrument the act ran smoothly as each animal exhibited the
trick it learned in the proper sequence. Each trick planned and orchestrated for optimum effect. As the human performers
played to the crowd and feigned the required emotions for each trick the episodes of ''surprise'', ''humor'', and even ''anger''
were performed on cue.
As trick followed trick, each task appeared to be harder and less certain, yet even the ''mistakes'' were orchestrated. And
like all good theater the act ended. And like theater was created to be the act was repeated over and over.
Then without warning I heard THE WIND blow within the tent as the act played on. And as the THUNDER roared forth I
saw the tent shake and tear loose from its stakes. As the sides came free the fabric shredded and dissolved as the
lightening illuminated the grounds and the ran came down in torrents flooding the ''ring'' and washing away the dust and
debris. In the illumination of the PURE LIGHT and the cleansing of this LATTER RAIN the performers were washed down
and what was hidden under the ''hair'' and ''make-up'' was exposed for all to see.
What was a man and women and their performing dogs and ponies was two Great Princes of Darkness and many
assorted demons and foul spirits.
These are the deceivers spoken of in Revelations 2 and 3 that deceive, pervert, and control the three apostate churches
and two deluded churches of the END TIMES. The FIRST THUNDER which has now begun will expose them and their
works in the world today. The assorted demons and foul spirits that perform on command are the familiar spirits of the
''serpent seed'' within the realm of Christianity. The seed whose fruit have been given to the Children of LIGHT in place of
the LIVING WATER and the BREAD OF LIFE.
THE FIRST THUNDER WILL TEAR AWAY THE FALSE LIGHT AND COVERING OF MAJOR MINISTRIES AS THEIR
''TENT'' IS BLOWN AWAY. THE DEMONIC ''HAZE'' THAT OBSCURED BOTH VISION AND DISCERNMENT WILL BY
CLEARED FOR ALL TO SEE. THE CONSTANT NOISE THAT PREVENTS MY PEOPLE FROM HEARING ME WILL BE
GONE WHEN THIS 'PEAL' ENDS AND A NEW ''SILENCE'' BEGINS FOR MY CHILDREN.
Isaiah 30:15
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness
and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. (KJV)
I SHALL SILENCE THE SCRIPTED AND THE CONTRIVED. IN THE QUIET I NOW BRING, THE LOST MAY HEAR MY
VOICE. THE HURTING WILL HEAR MY WORDS OF COMFORT. THE WEAK WILL HEAR MY WORDS THAT
STRENGTHEN. THE FEARFULL WILL HEAR ME AND TRUST. FOR I AM. AND THEY WILL HEAR ME FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
THOSE WHO WILL BE EXPOSED IN THEIR DECEPTION WILL FEEL AS IF INUNDATED BY AN UNSTOPPABLE
TIDAL WAVE. THERE ARE MANY NOW WHO CALL THEMSELVES PROPHETS, PRIESTS, AND INTERCESSORS
WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO REBUKE MY STORM BY INVOKING MY NAME. WARN THEM NOT TO REBUKE WHAT
THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. WARN THEM THAT THIS ACT ALONE PROVES THEY DO NOT HEAR MY VOICE OR
SERVE ME.
MANY ARE DECEIVED WHO THINK THEY HEAR ME WHEN THEY HEAR THEIR OWN HEARTS. MANY WHO HEAR
DECEIVING SPIRITS MOVE IN POWER AND IN PRIDE THAT ARE NOT OF ME. THIS NOW I STOP. FOR AS THE
FIRST WAVE OF THUNDER OVERWHELMS ALL THE WORLD THOSE OF ME WILL BE STANDING. THOSE WHO
ARE NOT WILL HAVE THEIR KINGDOMS DESTROYED. THEIR DECEPTIONS EXPOSED AS THEIR ILLUSIONS AND
ALLUREMENTS ARE WASHED AWAY.
Once more I look upon the performers ''hair'' flattened, make-up gone in the clear light of HIS GLORY. The sequins do not
shine and their animals are washed away. All the hidden trash that littered the tent floor sits open to all in the bleachers
to be seen.
And of those who sat watching the show. That is the SECOND THUNDER and it will await its appointed time.

Two Attacking Bears

Bryan Hupperts
October 14, 1998

Sunday during worship the Holy Spirit showed me two ferocious bears running towards St. Louis. They were huge,
ravenous, full of rage and bent on destruction. Their teeth were bared and claw unsheathed. The prayers of the saints
went up around the city and reached the throne of God. And He waged war on our behalf.
Next, I saw one bear as a bear skin rug in a den with a man's feet propped over its' hide resting. On the wall of the same
den, I saw the other bear's head mounted on the wall like a hunter's trophy. The victory was the Lords!
What I understood is that these two bears represented two well known bears - the first was a bear market, and the
second the Russian bear.
I felt that these were two Judgments that would come against the United States with such pounding speed that it would
strike terror into the heart of anyone in their path. ......
When the saints began to pray, the Lord showed Himself strong on our behalf and arose in our defense as a dread
champion.
These Judgments are real and are coming but the good news for the children of the Lord is that we do not have to fear. If
we have made the Lord our refuge, and leaned upon His protection and daily guidance, He will deliver us from these
snarling bears. We do not have to fear economic collapse or foreign attack and/or invasion. The battle belongs to the
Lord.
Luke 18:1 "And he (Jesus) told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart." It is not
God's will for us to live in fear but to walk by faith.
Remember King David? Before he was the great warrior and poet king, he was a shepherd. 1 Samuel 17:37 And David
said, "The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of
this Philistine." And Saul said to David, "Go, and the LORD be with you!"
God delivered this young boy from the lion, the paw of the bear, and gave him victory over a giant. He will not only grant
us victory over the attacking bears but will cause us to walk in triumph over the Philistine (the devil) as well, no matter
what is happening around us; if we will dwell in the secret place of the Most High, lives of prayer, and walk holy before
the Lord.
Beloved, the Lord "shall place His enemies beneath His feet" even as he did the bearskin rug. It was a common practice
in Old Testament times to behead your enemy and hang his decapitated head from the city wall to show total victory over
your enemy. The Lord was at rest with the bearskin rug beneath His feet and the other bear's head hanging from His
trophy wall - for the Lord is totally triumphant over His enemies.
To God alone be the glory and praise!

A Two Edged Sword

Bob Neuman
THE TWO EDGED SWORD
Son, tell MY Children that MY SWORD has two edges. It cuts on both sides. It is MY WORD and it is a tool meant to
cut and to kill. And what do you do armed with MY SWORD and wearing MY ARMOR? You pray. You withstand the
attack of the enemy, and pray for one another. You shield yourself in FAITH from the fiery darts, and intercede for your
brethren. With the helmet of SALVATION and the belt of TRUTH the enemy's lies cannot hold you in the bondage of
deception. And it is MY RIGHTEOUSNESS that protects your heart. That is why you can be concerned for others ahead
of your self.... And that is MY MARK on your forehead.
I gave you a sword that has two edges. MY WORD is LOGOS and RHEMA. Ignore one over the other and the blade is
broken. Limit MY WORD in any way it shatters.
Oh MY CHILDREN, you sing so many songs about "MY ARMY" marching in joy and victory, defeating and binding the
enemy. You sing with such energy and passion about storming camps, running at cities, jumping over walls and taking
back all what was stolen. So bold and so strong are you that you never seem to notice those in your ranks and the
condition they are in. MY WORD said to stand because you battle not....against flesh and blood. MY ARMOR is for you
to withstand the attacks meant to destroy MY WORD in you. And those attacks come to all who are in covenant with
ME. The battle is by MY WORD over you, in MY WORD planted in you. AS THE BATTLE IS MINE, SO IS THE
VICTORY. The battles you presently "fight" are nothing compared to what your brethren in the nations where the enemy's
deep darkness rules.
So many songs you label 'Christian' never mention ME in any way. And many of these songs do not stand well against
MY WORD. Have any of you noticed the lack of MY MOST HOLY SPIRIT in much of what you hear and see on so called
"Christian" radio, music, and television? And in much of what you call worship? Worship is not based on numbers. Nor
can you discern it in the decibels of sound. It can not be measured by levels of emotion or degrees of perspiration.
THE DAY has come when the TRUE BELIEVER will not worship ME on any Mountain, but in the earthen vessel that I
have chosen to TABERNACLE with and in. Those of mine who have built as I have directed them with the PUREST
GOLD, SILVER, and PRECIOUS STONES that I offered you have prepared for ME palaces for MY HABITATION. For you
must worship ME in MY SPIRIT and in MY TRUTH. You must worship ME without the fanfare of the flesh, without the
gimmicks of your world. You must worship ME FROM A HEART MADE PURE AND HOLY AS I AM HOLY. To
accomplish all this, like your brethren in SMYRNA, you will soon be tested and proven in the FIRE of AFFLICTION.
Once again I call out to stand up in the POWER of MY WORD and depart from all your Egypts and Babylons. You who
are lukewarm, once you were hot. You knew the intensity and emotion of the Flames of FIRST LOVE. But you have
allowed yourselves to cool down in your self assurance trusting in what you have perceived as wealth, power, and
righteousness. But so little WISDOM....
MY WORD says that MY wish is that you were hot or cold. Your comfortable luke warmness gives ME no pleasure. I am
sickened by your rebellious complacency. It offends ME and I can no longer tolerate you in MY PRESENCE.
You sing songs of thanksgiving rarely because you take not what you need from ME. MY SPIRIT BREATHS inspiration
into the hearts and minds of MY WORSHIPPERS. But you take what pleases you and forget the greater blessing. You
sing "GIVE THANKS'' with a grateful heart for what I have done in your lives. WHEN BREATHED into you it had two
verses. With great joy you sing of how the poor are made rich and the weak made strong. But why will you not sing of
the sick made whole or the bound set free. Are these your true priorities? To heal and restore are but part of MY NAME
and MY DESIRE for you, but you prefer wealth and power over fullness in ME. SO YOU WALK DISEASED IN SPIRIT,
BOUND IN SIN PREFERRING the riches and the kingdoms of this world. Children, how foolish!
ENTER MY BAPTISM OF FIRE , AND DO NOT LEAVE IT. Once you burn with passion for ME you indeed will be hot
and appealing to ME. Dive into the Depths of MY SPIRIT; into the DARKNESS that surrounds ME. Into the CLOUDS and
SMOKE that obscure MY GLORY from the eyes of this world. In the Depths of MY PRESENCE you will be as cold to
the world as you are as passionate for ME. Like steel from the furnace is plunged into water, so will MY STRENGTH be
in you. MY FIRE SHAPES AND PURIFIES. MY LIVING WATER HARDENS AND REFRESHES. Those who enter ME I
will receive and I will shape according to MY PLEASURE and according to MY PURPOSE.
MY SPIRIT IS BEING POURED OUT ON ALL FLESH

WHO WILL NOTICE?
MANY WILL HEAR MY CALL
WHO WILL ANSWER?
THAT IS WHY CHILDREN THAT SO FEW ARE CHOSEN

The Two Magnets of Faith

Jeff Treder
The world’s economic system is based on faith. The current global economic system is actually a two-tiered system.
First, there is what economists call the "real" economy, which includes the production of goods and services, domestic
and international trade, and the accompanying transfers of money. Second, there is the investment economy, wherein
investors large and small buy shares of publicly owned stocks, based on their faith in a stock’s profitability. The
investment economy also includes speculative investment in stock "futures" and in world currencies, also involving
ventures of faith in the future performance of those stocks or currencies.
The connection between these two tiers of the global economy is that investment, carried out mostly through stock
markets and currency exchanges, provides a large portion of the funding for the "real" economy. And if a significant
percentage of investors, for whatever reason, lose their faith in the viability of the combined system, they start selling
stock to avoid losing money on their investments. This loss of faith—or fear of financial ruin (same thing)—can trigger a
panic among a majority of investors, and then the system can crash. Such a crash has occurred during 1998, beginning
in Asia and spreading to Russia and South America, and now toward the close of the year threatening the long-term
stability of the entire global economy, including Europe and the United States.
Why has this loss of faith occurred? Economists tend to blame reckless currency management and too many banks
loaning too much money to dubious enterprises. I believe that these are the surface causes, but underneath them there
are deeper, more fundamental problems with the global economic system. These include an overstressed, polluted
natural environment, overtaxed and dwindling water resources, croplands, and grazing lands, and the growing
discrepancy between the wealthy minority and the impoverished majority, millions of whom are already starving and
millions more moving toward starvation. Investors, from a purely financial viewpoint, have solid reasons for doubting the
system’s viability.
"When the Son of Man comes," Jesus asked, "will He find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8) I believe He will find faith on
the earth, drawn to two great magnets. The first magnet will be the world economic and social/political system instituted
by the Antichrist and his ministers. Throughout the world he will be perceived by many as having come to humanity’s
rescue at just the time when the whole world was falling into economic ruin, political chaos, violent strife and anarchy.
For a great many people, he will restore faith in the system. He will indeed be a savior of sorts, just as Hitler was in
Germany during the 1930’s but now on a global scale.
The other magnet of faith will be the church of Jesus Christ, which will be attaining its complete maturity, having reached
"unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the
fullness of Christ." (Eph.4:13) The Great Commission will be completed; throughout every nation and tribe on earth, the
church will be bearing witness to the love and power and salvation of Jesus Christ. We will be richer in faith and
obedience, more unified in joy, compassion, and wisdom than we have ever thought possible. Everywhere the forces of
light will confront the forces of darkness in the final world war. The gates of hell will not prevail against the church. There
will be great tribulation, but we will persevere just as our Master persevered, and He will ride in to complete His victory.

The Two Ram's

Brenda Roberts
May 1998
While relaxing the other day I closed my eyes and had a dream, vision...
I saw two rams on the side of a Mountain. One was very black all over and the other was a brilliant white. These two rains
faced off and charged at one another. When the head on collision happened a violent explosion happened. They backed
off for awhile and then charged again, and again there was a huge explosion. After the third time the explosion was so
violent it shook the earth and the heavens. Earthquakes, tidal waves, and volcanoes erupted.
Father showed me this was going to happen in the spiritual realm. Gross darkness was going to come head-on against
God's Glory. The confrontation is going to be violent in the spiritual and will be felt in the physical. Matt.11:12 "And from
the days of the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." Gen. 6:13
"And God said unto Noah "The end of all flesh is come before Me. for the earth is filled with violence through them; and,
behold I will destroy them with the earth."

Two Swords
Ching Co
Lately, I keep on seeing a vision each time that I pray and this was the vision that I saw:
I saw the Lord and He was standing with outstretched arms towards us. In His hands are two swords,
they look dull and rusty and they were marked "Love" and other one "Unity". And while I was looking at
these two swords in the hands of the Lord, these words were impressed into my heart:
"My brethren, many of my people come to me and asking me for power and anointing to enable and
equip them for the great work ahead of them. Yes, there is a great work ahead of us. And yes, I do
have a great arsenal of powerful weapons, they come in healing, miracles, wisdom, prophecies, and
many other forms. But many have overlooked that I have two greater weapons that are already in their
hands. They are the swords of LOVE AND UNITY.
"Many of you have not been using these swords. you are looking for greater weapons, but none is
greater than these.
"Why do you think that many have overlooked them? Because to the user, using the swords of LOVE
& UNITY will demand great sacrifice and dying to self and humility and at times shame from the world
and many of you are not ready and willing to do that. This is the reason why it has gotten rusty in many
of you. This is the reason why these swords in your lives are no longer sharp.
"But do you not know that MORE THAN ANYTHING WEAPON FORGED, these are the
most potent and powerful ones that I HAVE MADE. Demons tremble at them, forces flees at the sight
of them. Heavens are open wide each time you use them. "You may think that they don't look like
much. But no my friends, they are worth much in the arena of spiritual warfare. THEY ARE MY MOST
POTENT WEAPONS.
"The more you use them, they sharper they become. They more you wield them, the faster will be the
advancement of my Kingdom."
So Today, I call upon you Fellow soldiers of Christ, let us use more and more the swords of LOVE &
UNITY, let us sharpen them more and more for with it we can gain great victory.

The Second Thunder

Bob Neumann
THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT directed the release of this, THE SECOND THUNDER on
SUNSET....November 20,1998. Why I do not know. It is the beginning of the Seventh
Day...SHABBOT. So in obedience I forward this.
Since the Eighth Day of the FEAST OF TABERNACLES THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT has repeatedly
returned me to the Valley of Vision to witness the DOG AND PONY show. Each time the
''performance'' is repeated it is scripted and played out without any change. The individual ''ponies''
and ''dogs'' are constantly changed, the performance does not. Yet as I watched this presentation I
have slowly understood that just as THE LORD speaks through Images, Patterns, and Sequences it is
always within HIS PLAN....in accordance with HIS PURPOSES.
The "DOG AND PONY SHOW" is the ultimate counterfeit by the KINGDOM OF DARKNESS to
combat ABBA'S Purpose, THE SALVATION OF FALLEN MANKIND. To understand this Revelation
it is necessary to see the purpose of this attack and it's effect upon the BODY of CHRIST. Only then
can the SECOND THUNDER be understood. That the works of the enemy in this level and stage can
be exposed and destroyed.
THE SECOND THUNDER.... 2)The Deceitful Words that pour out Doctrines of Men and Demons.
The Vision repeats itself over and over where the "DOGS'' are brought forth in their different sizes and
shapes and breeds. Dressed and Costumed to meet the appropriate audience response they follow
the Direction of the enemy, they perform for a purpose and a reason. In the end of the ''show'' the
''PONIES'' come out and do a slow cantor within the boundary of the ''center ring''. As they run in
circles the "DOGS'' in obedience to the Princes of Darkness perform upon the backs of the ''Ponies''
and in conjunction with the ''ponies''. The ponies do nothing more than run in circle, all the stunts are
done by the dogs.
THE FIRST THUNDER shredded the FALSE COVERING of the APOSTATE CHURCH. THE
SHAKING long spoken of has begun and shortly will finish, whether many ''feel'' it or ''comprehend'' it.
Without this covering the demonic 'haze' that obscures spiritual vision has been cleared by the WIND
of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. Likewise the spiritual cacophony of the enemy that deadened spiritual
ears has been silenced.
Those who now ''see'' and ''hear'' will not be easily noticed as they leave ''the circus'' and dwell in their
''TABERNACLES".
concerning the DOCTRINES OF MEN AND DEMONS, I received this WORD:
WHEN I SPOKE THE WORDS OF CREATION IT WAS PLANNED AND PURPOSED ACCORDING
TO THE WILL OF MY FATHER. IT IS CULMINATED BY THE COVENANT I MADE WITHIN THE
GARDEN. ALL OF CREATION WAS PLACED UNDER MAN FOR IN MAN I PLACED BOTH
AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY. MUCH IS SPOKEN OF DOMINION OVER THE EARTH. THE
CHURCH USES IT TO ANCOR IT'S CLAIMS TO POWER AND CONTROL, YET SELDOM
ACKNOWLEDGE THE ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIRED.
THE SEED OF THE SERPENT USE THIS FACT OF MAN'S HORRIBLE STEWARDSHIP OVER MY
CREATION TO ATTACK THE RELIGIOUS AND TO POINT MANKIND TO THE WORSHIP OF THE
CREATION. WHERE IS MY CHURCH AT COMBATTING THAT LIE? ENTERTAINING THE
CHILDREN....WITH THE PERFORMANCE YOU HAVE SEEN.
OF ALL MY CREATION NONE HAS SERVED MANKIND MORE THAN THE DOG AND THE
HORSE. THROUGHOUT TIME THEY HAVE BORE YOUR BURDENS, GUARDED YOUR
PROPERTY, FOUGHT YOUR BATTLE WITH YOU. SERVED MAN WITHOUT QUESTION OR
PAUSE.
FEW IMAGES OF LOYALTY AND OBEDIENCE OF CREATURE TO MASTER ARE CLEARER

THAN THESE. BUT SO FEW EYES SEE. SO FEW HEARTS UNDERSTAND. YET FEW OF MY
CREATION HAVE FELT THE ABUSE OF MAN GREATER THAN THE HORSE AND THE DOG.
FEW HAVE WITNESSED ''MAN'S DOMINION'' THAN THE BREEDING AND MANIPULATION OF
MY CREATION THAN THE HORSE AND THE DOG.
SO SON OF MAN UNDERSTAND THE VISION OF THIS MY SECOND THUNDER. AS MAN HAS
USED MY CREATION TO SERVE IT'S NEEDS AND PERVERSIONS, SO DOES THE ENEMY
ATTEMPT TO USE MAN TO DO THE SAME.
BEHOLD THE DOGS...THESE ARE THE SERVANTS OF THE NICOLAOTINS THAT SERVE SELF
RATHER THAN ME. THEY MOVE IN THE FLESH AND CONSORT WITH THE SPIRITS OF
BALAAM AND JEZABEL CALLING IT MY SPIRIT AND MY WILL. THESE WERE THE FALSE
SHEPHERDS AND PRINCES OVER THE NATIONS OF ISRAEL AND JUDAH. TWO SISTERS
WHO WHORED WITH THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD. TODAY THEY ARE THE FALSE
PASTORS, TEACHERS AND EVANGELISTS THAT PERFORM AT THE DIRECTION OF MAN,
LEARN THE TEACHINGS OF MAN AND NEVER KNEW ME OR MY WAYS. SO MANY HOLD
THESE TITLES AND LIVE OFF MY FLOCKS AND OPENLY DENY MY REALITY AND MY WORD.
THEY DENY THE VIRGIN BIRTH. THEY DENY THE CRUCIFICTION. THEY DENY THE
RESERRECTION. THEY DENY MY RETURN. YET THEY SIT AT TABLE AND DEVOUR MY
SHEEP....IN MY NAME.
MY PEOPLE ARE BURIED IN RELIGION, THEY DROWN IN FALSE DOCTRINES BECAUSE IT

SERVES MAN. THEY PREACH GOSPELS THAT GIVE ME NO HONOR AS THEY LOOK FOR
PERSONAL ACCLAIM.
THE PONIES ARE THE FALSE PROPHETS THAT HAVE COME UNDER THE FALSE COVERING
OF THE APOSTATE CHURCH. THEY DO NOT STAND AND WARN MY PEOPLE OF THEIR SIN.
THEY TRAVEL ''CIRCUITS'' WHERE THEY ARE RECEIVED. NOT FOR MY PURPOSE, BUT
BECAUSE THEY ''HAVE A MINISTRY''.
NONE OF MY SERVANTS HAVE A MINISTRY. THEY ONLY MINISTER TO ME. IT IS I AND I ALONE
WHO MINISTER TO MY SHEEP. AND I USE THE TOOLS AND SERVANTS THAT I ALONE MAY
BE GLORIFIED.
THE FALSE PROPHETS THAT CONFRONTED JEREMIAH AND ISAIAH SPOKE THE WORDS
THAT FLESHLY AUTHORITY DEMANDED TO HEAR SO THE PEOPLE WOULD FOLLOW THEM
AND NOT ME. THEY REPEATED THE PROPHECIES OF OTHER FALSE PROPHETS AND SAID
THEY WERE MY WORDS. THEY CLAIMED DREAMS AND VISIONS THAT I DID NOT GIVE.
TODAY IT IS NO DIFFERENT. THE FALSE PROPHETS RUN IN THE ARRANGED CIRCLES TO
ALLOW FALSE TEACHERS AND PASTORS TO MANIPULATE AND CONTROL MY FLOCK FOR
THEIR PLEASURES AND PURPOSES. SO ALL DINE EQUALLY UPON THE CARCUS OF MY
APOSTATE CHURCH AND I WILL JUDGE THEM ON MY SCALES.
BUT LOOK AT WHAT THEY DO AND THE EFFECT ON MY FLOCK.
and once again I saw the ''dogs'' shift from canine form to spectral demon shapes. as they danced
and cavorted in the center ring my eyes turned to the stand and I saw many scattered over the
bleachers. there were more empty seats than full seats. and I watched as nearly human forms moved
through the 'crowd' dispensing ''concessions''. I noticed that there were few adults, but many children
of all shapes, colors and sizes.
within the bleachers I saw slovenly ''teens'' in small scattered groups. as I watched and listened they
heckled the show, mouthing vulgarities and insults at intervals that followed with laughs and chuckles
within each group. and THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT explained: ''THESE ARE THE ELDERS OF THE
APOSTATE CHURCH. THE CHURCH THAT LOST IT'S FIRST LOVE, THAT IS SPIRITUALLY
BLIND IN THEIR LUKEWARMNESS. THEY ADD NOTHING AND DO NOTHING BUT ENTERTAIN
MYSELF AS MY CHILDREN STARVE''.
at this I noticed the demonic concession workers had gone among the children. for exorbitant prices
they had ''delivered'' to the hungry crowd of small and middle sized children ''cotton candy'', ''pop
corn'', ''sodas'', ''hot dogs''.....
and THE MASTER explained...NOTICE WHAT MY BABIES ARE FED? THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE
OR NUTRITION IN WHAT THESE FALSE SERVANTS SELL AT SUCH EXORBITANT PRICES.
THE ''COTTEN CANDY'' IS SWEET AND ALL AIR. THEY MUST FILL THEIR BELLIES WITH FIBER
THAT HAS LITTLE VALUE. THEY WASH IT DOWN WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE ''LIVING WATER'' IF
YOU TELL THEM CARBONATION IS THE SAME AS MY HOLY SPIRIT. THEY LOOK FOR
''MANIFESTATIONS'', BUT SETTLE FOR OCCASIONAL ''BELCHES''. THE ONLY ''MEAT'' THEY
GET IS PROCESSED WITH MORE ADDITIVES THAN MEAT....AND THEN COVER IT WITH
''CONDIMENTS'' TO COVER THE TASTE AND FILL EMPTY BELLIES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT ANGERS ME MOST? BECAUSE THE CHILDREN THINK IT IS ME. THEY
THINK THEY ARE BEING BLESSED WHEN ALL IT IS, IS CHEAP ENTERTAINMENT. THEY THINK
THEY ARE BEING FED WHEN IN FACT THEY STARVE.
With this I was instructed to look again at the ''dogs'' and as one would pass THE MOST HOLY
SPIRIT named them for me. Some where ''doctrines'', and some had the label of ''gospel''. Others HE
called ''dogmas'' and ''traditions''. It was as if every lie taught to a child of GOD in 4000 years had
been chronicled and categorized. It took little time for my spirit to be burdened and grieved by the very
length and depth of this list. Somewhere the long parade of dogs slowed and the last four stood alone.
THESE, SON, ARE THE DOCTRINES OF THE END DAYS. THE FIRST IS A GOSPEL OF
PROSPERITY....and before me was a large mange riddled mongrel that stepped with arrogance and
attitude across my field of vision.
THE SECOND IS THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE.....and a very well groomed poodle

approached sniffing the air. I was aware ''she'' was ''in heat'' and looking for anyone/anything to meet
her need.
THE THIRD IS THE TRADITION OF TITHING....and I saw a small starving cur that stumbled across the
ring.
THE FOURTH IS THE THEORY OF DOMINION THEOLOGY.....and I saw a well fed mastiff slowly
march across the world stage.
These are the doctrines man uses to control and harvest the flock. Each started in the WORD and has
been perverted and manipulated to serve the enemy. These and all the others will be exposed and
destroyed in the days ahead.

A Collision Of Two Winds

Cory Bakker.
The Father has caused two distinct winds to blow. One of intense heat and one of bitter cold. The two winds have chased
after each other, and have become an intense whirlwind that is growing increasingly large, and destructive. The whirlwind
has been traveling throughout the earth, and those who have not been caught up in it, have been those who's trust and
faith have been in the Rock. The Rock is the only safe place, and those who are not in the Rock, are in the whirlwind.
Has the whirlwind passed you by? Has it blown to the surface, and then removed the garbage of your lives, ministries and
character? Has it left you alone with the simple knowledge of Christ crucified, risen and exalted at the right hand of God?
Has it left you empty, yet longing to be filled with Love for Your God, Love for your neighbors and love for your enemies?
The Lord is pouring in Power to these simple truths, Revelation and Grace.
An Army is being built up from those who have not been taken up in the wind.
This is what the Lord says regarding the Whirlwind:
Stay hidden in Me my people, stay safe in the shelter that I have provided for you. Don't get caught up in this wind,
because it is fierce and it will destroy. Remain in the Rock. He will secure you and ground you in My Love. If you hang on
to anything else you will be removed with that thing. The whirlwind is carrying away everything that is not Me. If you peek
out from the Rock to see the wind, then it will remove your ability to see Me. If you extend your ears to hear the wind it
will remove your ability to hear Me. If you extend your arms to touch the wind, it will lift you up away from me. Stay in the
Rock, hide in Him my beloved. I love you so much, I want to hide you and keep you for Myself. My Spirit dwells for you in
the Rock. Love, joy, peace. Gentleness, meekness, long-suffering, patience, goodness, kindness and self- discipline.
Mercy and grace abound in the Rock. Treasures for you.
Be caught up in my Temple rather than the tempest little flock. Remain in my love and My love will remain in you. You
will be built up into a Holy Habitation that cannot be removed. A House of Prayer for all Nations! Rest in Me. Let the
whirlwind go. Let it do it's destruction, let it travel it's course throughout the earth. Let it carry away all that it will carry
away. Perhaps those that have been taken up in this wind will cry out for deliverance! I am able and willing to bring
deliverance from the whirlwind! If you cover their ears for me with love and grace, if you anoint their eyes for me with tears
from yours, then Yes deliverance will come to them. The jealousy, bitterness, and rage. The envy, strife and division will
remain in the wind. The confusion will remain in the wind. But the heart of flesh that you soften with my love and grace,
through your prayers, I will save. Hide their hearts in the Rock, the way I hid yours in Me as I hung there on the cross.
Hold them their with you in the safe place. Hold them there with your faith. The greatest Power available to you my
children this hour, is my grace. Grace is hidden In the Rock, and the Rock will never be moved.

My Two Witnesses
Jack Collins
Thus saith the LORD JESUS CHRIST to His holy remnant church.
I AM speaking to MY faithful servants who have endured many persecutions and have been afflicted by the devil
and have suffered for MY NAME sake. Because you have entered into MY sufferings and have taken up your
cross and have followed ME fully. Therefore hear the WORD of the LORD, GOD ALMIGHTY. You will also rule
and reign with ME. Fight and continue to fight , the good fight of faith.
I AM about to strike this nation with the rod of MY judgement. I AM going to shake down everything that is not on
the Rock of MY WORD. I AM going to strike suddenly and swiftly across the nations of the world and I will bring
them to their knees. There will be great tribulation such as was never seen before. I will be exalted in the earth and
MY GLORY shall cover MY people. And know that MY PEOPLE ISRAEL and MY city JERUSALEM will be
delivered.
I AM a covenant keeping GOD, and MY enemies who have filled MY LAND with violence and have shed
innocent blood and have vowed to annihilate MY PEOPLE. They have decreed their own Judgement, for I will
return their decree back upon their own heads. I AM GOD and their is none else beside ME. I tell you before it
comes to pass, he that has ears to hear , let him hear what MY SPIRIT is speaking to MY people.
Prepare, Prepare to meet your GOD for the day of the LORD is at hand. MY SPIRIT that was in Moses, the
Lawgiver and MY SPIRIT that was in Elijah the Prophet is about to come forth in those whom I have prepared .
These are MY two witnesses that I have prepared for the last days, before MY KINGDOM comes. A company of
Prophets that will speak MY WORD in MY NAME and Judgement will fall on the head of the wicked and evil
doers. Suddenly and swiftly MY great Sword will run through out the whole earth and I will shake every wicked
system down to their knees.
There will be great tribulation before the great day of MY kingdom come. Look up to ME saith the LORD for your
redemption draweth nigh. The earth itself will be delivered from the curse at the appearing of your GREAT GOD
AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. For those who look for ME and love MY appearing, there will be great JOY
and REJOICING and WE will sup together at the marriage feast of the LAMB. Your work will be rewarded and I
will give you a CROWN of LIFE. Now is the time, Fear not, be of good courage and fight the good fight of faith,
for I AM with you and MY SPIRIT has sealed you until the DAY of REDEMPTION.

Two Words That Stop Revelation

Jim Rinker
There are two words that we say either out loud or in our hearts that will completely shut us off from the revelatory
knowledge (provision) of God. These two words are "I Know" or "I Have". Have you ever noticed that you cannot teach a
person who "knows"?
I worked with a person who was like this. He would ask me a question then as I would begin to show him something or
answer his question he would begin to say "Ye, Ye I know". Upon this saying, any grace that I had to take my time to
show this person something would immediately dissipate. This principle is much the same in God's kingdom:
1 Peter 5:5 "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be
clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble".
Humility is our posture that we maintain in order to receive from God. As long as we stay in a constant state of need
before the Father, knowing that our provision comes from Him and that we need Him to feed us daily and that we need to
gather our manna daily, we will continue to receive from Him. Thus, "those who (continue to) hunger and thirst for His
righteousness shall be filled".
The moment that we "know" or we "have" is when we stop receiving. The moment that we think we have "arrived" is the
moment that we cut ourselves off from our source of life.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 "Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth
up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know".
1 Corinthians 3:18 "Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become
a fool, that he may be wise".
Jesus is so immense that at any given time or season we may only see Him from one particular perspective. Depending
on our maturity level, we may only have the capacity to receive certain "truths" thus only knowing one "face" of our
saviour. Depending on our calling, we may only have been seeing Him from one "angle". We are called, however, to know
Him in "fullness" or "totality".
Psalms 119:160 "The sum of Thy word is truth".
This means that each one of us can view Him from a different perspective and each one of us can have a correct view of
Him. If we remain humble and in a constant state of need, we will never lack. What a paradox, those who are constantly
in need never lack for anything!
Psalms 23:5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my
cup runneth over".
Matthew 5:6 "Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled".
Corporately, every denomination today has the same "issue". This issue is that most denominations were formed by the
restoration of some spiritual truth. The problem is that they stopped receiving from God at some point along the way
saying "We Know". So now we have a whole lot of churches that contain "partial truth" which is actually not the truth at
all for:
Psalms 119:160 "The sum of Thy word is truth".
Thus, those who think they "know" are really blind and naked.
Revelation 3:17-18 "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest
not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do
not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see".
If we will remain in a constant state of "need" before the Father, we are promised by Him that He WILL fill us day by day,
gaining the "gold" that we need to make us rich indeed.
Let us remain humble before both God and man that we may be able to receive "truth" from the Father in due season. Let
us admit to our lack that we may indeed be lacking in no area of our walk with Christ. Let us "lay hold" of eternal life
through brokeness and humility receiving the promises of God in their fulness.

Three Deceptions
Nick Uva
This dream concerns the coming year and the theme is that 1999 is a year of potential deception; we
need to stay alert and close to the Lord to avoid being taken in by all sorts of things.
In this dream I saw three animals, each of which I understood to represent some aspect of deception
that can come against Christians in the next year. The first animal was a weasel - in our common
speech, a person who is sneaky, saying one thing and doing another. Some deceptions are more
overt and "weaselly" and hopefully we will pick up on them easily.
The second animal was a ferret - an animal that is deceptively beautiful because it is wild, despite its
"cuteness." Interestingly, I understood that ferrets can be tamed. I took this to mean that the danger of
such deceptions (evil behind the facade of beauty) can be tamed or lessened through prayer which
will unmask the true nature of the deception.
The third animal was a well-scrubbed pig. However you scrub him, though, a pig is still a pig and will
return to the mire, as we are warned. So, we must not be taken in by sin which is remade, scrubbed or
whitewashed. It's still a pig, and we bring it into our lives only at tremendous risk of what it will bring
into our houses.

President Clinton And The Three Flags

Bob Jones And Keith Davis
Monday, December 21, 1998

From: Keith Davis (for him and Bob Jones)
To: Steve Shultz, THE ELIJAH LIST: sshultz@worldaccessnet.com
Dear Steve
"Following you will find some of our insights involving our president and current events. Hopefully, the
Lord will continue to give us more clarity as we pursue to know Him more intimately and share His
thoughts and ways.
Like yourself and many others, I found it very difficult praying for Bill Clinton. However, I did so out of
humanistic obedience to a word coming through a prophetic friend that I highly regard. Thankfully, that
changed during a conversation with Paul Cain. As we were discussing our president, I saw in brother
Cain's eyes genuine divine love for Bill Clinton. Brother Cain even commented that he was glad that
the Lord put love in his heart for our president BEFORE he discovered our presidents political
positions. I knew the love I saw in Paul Cain was only a glimmer of the love that the Lord has for this
man. From that point on I have been able to pray out of a heart of compassion for our presidents
salvation and deliverance from the obvious bondage that he is living under. The early church did so for
the persecutor Saul and the Lord made him the Apostle Paul.
At the time of the first election Bob [Jones] was given a vision illustrating the years of Bill Clinton term.
He was shown three flags for this illustration... one blue, one red and another pale white. The blue
represented many revelations that would be surfacing during the early stages of his presidency. The
red represented the continual conflicts that would exist during his term. The pale flag represented the
last portion of his term in office and symbolized that it would be "hell on earth". However, the very end
of this flag was a pure white denoting a release of God's glory during the final days of his term of
office. Thus far, the Lord has not shown Bob anything to the contrary so we are standing on this
revelation trusting the Lord to bring it to pass.
We have been watching with considerable interest the events of the last 45 days in Washington
involving Israel and the Palestinians. The decisions made involving Israel could also dictate our
presidents future as well as Benjamin Netanyahu. We must continue to pray for Bill Clinton and the
prime minister of Israel. Netanyahu is a good man, however, considerable pressure was placed upon
him to make a potentially bad decision. That is also why we should continue to pray for our president
so that he will not make damaging decisions involving Israel out of political pressure. One thing is
certain, our current vice president is no friend to Israel nor to the Church.
The Lord seems to be surprisingly silent, at least as far as we are concerned, involving the events of
recent days. He did make it clear that our latest skirmish with Iraq is not a righteous action and will
reap difficult and expensive dividends."
Blessings

The Third Thunder

Bob Neumann
(Dear Brother Bill,

it seems each one of these is harder and uglier to walk through. This Thunder, I was told, was to be
released prior to the ''LIGHTING OF THE FIRST CANDLE".
Easily I could assume Sabbath, until the image of cleansing the ''abomination'' that has ''desecrated''
is added.....after tonight I don't know when this PC will be up and running, So knowing your pattern of
adding to your list on Sunday I send now. sunset Sunday begins the 8 days of remembrance. so I pray
blessings upon you and your household these next few weeks. bob)
(p.s. the WORD of this THUNDER ends....yet there is a WORD to me that finishes it. not one I would
want to add....but one that might find meaning to you as it did me)
(dog)
This is the THIRD THUNDER....to be released prior to the Lighting of the First Candle.
A Call to Purify....A Call to Do Battle....A Call to Stand when everyone else accepts the rules of the
ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE.
To receive this I was given the same vision twice...same vision and same place.... very different
applications.
Once again I began in the place called the Valley of Vision, and I stood outside the GREAT CITY
which sits in DARKNESS. There opposite to a small gate was a natural valley, even darker than the
shadow, darker than the pit. In the core of my being I heard my MASTER'S VOICE speak one
word...COME.
Slowly and carefully I followed a well worn path that followed the contour of the land. When I reached
the bottom the air was filled with the stench of rotten flesh and smoke. The air was hazy and burned
the eyes and throat. The ground was spongy and mire covered my legs. All around me were distant
fires and distant voices. It seemed I could hear scattered snatches of conversation, of maniacal
laughing and screams of utter despondency.
And I felt lost and completely out of place. Everything in me said this was wrong and not the place to
be. Each time PANIC rose up in my spirit I heard HIM say COME....and I moved farther and deeper
into this VALLEY.
Then one moment I felt HIS HAND on my Left Shoulder and again heard those WORDS...."IT'S
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT". With that THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE ONE stepped into my line of
vision covered in BLACK ARMOR...and once again I was able to see that I too wore HIS ARMOR.
"HAVE YOU BEGUN TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY AND TRUTH?'',
HE ASKED. and I answered, yes LORD.
"IS IT WORTH DYING FOR?'' for a moment I looked at a FACE I could not see. a Face I had never
seen, but had seen so often and in so many lights and aspects. the FACE I sought diligently,
passionately.....I could not see HIS FACE, but I know HIS HAND and HIS VOICE....
''you alone are worth dying for'', I replied finally. and in my spirit I heard the words of the Gospel of John
going through me. that I would eat HIS FLESH and drink HIS BLOOD. and I realized that what I was
standing in was a field where the ground was saturated in blood.
''I ONCE CALLED YOU TO FOLLOW ME AND YOU DID. IT WAS NOT EASY, BUT I AM THE WAY
AND YOU LEARNED TO WALK IN ME. I THEN ASKED YOU TO COME TO ME AND LEARN OF
ME. THAT DAY YOU JOINED ME IN MY YOKE AND BEGAN TO WALK IN ME, AND I AM THE
TRUTH.
THEN I ASKED YOU TO ABIDE WITH ME, AND YOU DIED SO THAT YOU COULD LIVE IN ME
FOR I AM THE LIFE."
''NOW I ASK YOU TO COME AND WATCH WITH ME. YOU ARE TO SPEAK OF WHAT YOU SEE
FOR THE SIN OF YOUR NATION IN THIS PLACE IS WITHOUT PARALLEL. LIKEWISE THE SIN OF
YOUR PEOPLE IN THIS PLACE HAS CAUSED A BREACH THAT CAN NOT BE MENDED, LET
ALONE CROSSED. AND IN THEIR ARROGANCE THE SERVANTS OF DARKNESS LEAD THE
FOOLISH AND THE SELF-SERVING HERE DAILY TO SACRIFICE AND TO MOCK MY WORD''.
Slowly we walked into deeper darkness, and found what had to be the very bottom of the pit. There in
the middle was a huge form I could barely make out. And I watched as if looking down and toward this
form, and their were figures scurrying around this abomination. Everything in my spirit told me this was
''it''...this was the thing of things that stood against all that was of GOD....and THE LORD corrected
me...
"NO FRIEND....THERE ARE THOSE EVEN WORSE THAN THIS, BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM
UNTIL THE PROPER TIME AND SEASON. BEFORE YOU IS AN ASPECT OF ONE OF THE TWO
GREAT SINS OF YOUR NATION AND YOUR PEOPLE.''
With that HE turned again to the ''form'' and was silent.
After a while I noticed a strange light in the center of the darkness and I immediately wondered until I
realized our armor was still black. Slowly the light grew and the lines of the ''form'' became clearer.
Now I saw a procession of great numbers coming from all directions. As they came closer I saw that
this ''form'' now glowed. Reddish in color it was a demonic form and I understood what it was I was
seeing.
The first group to pass before the idol were raggedly dressed, and with a quiet that gave me a sense
of hesitation on their part, they threw their babies into the fire.
The second group to pass where well dressed, and walked with a swagger up to the fire and threw
their babies in with great flourish.
The third group was different, it came well orchestrated with musicians and singers. They had a
definite order and pattern to them. With great theatrics this very large group came to the idol and
made a corridor that allowed a great number to advance in a major show as these threw bundles into
the fire.
No living babies, bundles of various sizes. Finally I noticed that all in this last group had some form of
''religious/clerical garb''....
And finally came a fourth group dancing and jumping frantically, intermingling with the three earlier
groups. But they were not human, parodies of human...but they were demons or their best attempt to
look demonic. And all they did was cavort among the groups who basically stayed in their own
separate areas.
As I stood and watched the festivities continue the babies and bundles kept flowing into the belly of
the idol. Then I realized this was not a statue of metal to Molech, but a demon alive and being fed
continuously. Slowly I turned toward my MASTER and asked, "LORD, I know I am to see this for your
reasons.... and I know innocent blood is being shed continuously, but this is all beyond me.'' Suddenly I
felt a grief go through my being unlike everything or anything I had ever felt before.
''MY WORD IS A SWORD WITH TWO EDGES. MY FIRE HAS THE TWO ASPECTS OF
DESTRUCTION AND PURIFICATION. ALMOST ALL THAT YOU HAVE EVER LEARNED HAS A
DUALITY IN IT'S NATURE. SO IS IT HERE.
THIS SIN OF ABORTION THAT IS THE ABOMINATION MOST PREVALENT IN YOUR LAND
STEMS FROM MANY ROOTS. THE FIRST IS SELF. PLACING SELF UPON THE PEDESTAL AS
YOUR FOCUS OF WORSHIP. WHEN SELF IS WORSHIPED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM IT IS
AN IDOL THAT DEVOURS ALL OTHER THINGS IN LIFE.
THE SECOND ROOT IS FEAR. FEAR THAT SELF MAY BE THREATENED IN SOME WAY.
FROM THAT COMES THE FINAL ROOT WHERE WE SEE THE FRUITS OF THIS EVIL, THE ROOT
OF EXPEDIENCE. TO BE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE

POSITION OF SELF.
THE FRUITS ARE MANY AND ARE ALL PLAGUES UPON YOUR LAND. ALL SEE THESE FRUITS
YET DO NOT GO BEYOND THEIR REALITY TO THE TRUTH.
THE FIRST FRUIT IS VIOLENCE. TO KILL, TO MAIM, TO DESTROY ALL THAT MAY THREATEN
THE IDOL OF SELF. TO BE WILLING TO HARM WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONSEQUENCES.
THIS STEMS FROM ALL THREE ROOTS EQUALLY...SELF, FEAR, EXPEDIENCE.
THE SECOND FRUIT IS THE LIE. WHETHER IT IS A SIMPLE DENIAL OF FACT OR A GREAT
AND GRAND DECEPTION PLAYED OUT ON THE WORLD SCENE. A SLANTING OF AN ISSUE
TO THE MANUFACTURE OF FULL DEMONIC DELUSION, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME. TO DENY
THE TRUTH.
THE THIRD FRUIT IS COMPLACENCY, TO ACCEPT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT

PROMOTES AND DOES NOT HARM YOUR IDOLS.
THE FOURTH FRUIT IS ADDICTION. WHEN TRUTH WILL NOT VANISH AND SELF IS
THREATENED, FEAR FAILS ALL IS LEFT IS EXPEDIENCE TO DULL THE FEAR AND SATIATE
SELF IF ONLY FOR A SEASON....AND REGARDLESS OF COST. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL TO
QUIET THE FEARS. GAMBLING, POWER, SEX, SPORT, MONEY TO ELEVATE SELF.
WITCHCRAFT AND SORCERY AS EXPEDIENT WHEN CONFRONTING THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
ALL ARE USED....AND ALL FAIL.
THESE ARE THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF THE KINGDOM OVER YOUR NATION.
AND THIS IS THE ABOMINATION BEHIND THE BULL YOUR PEOPLE WORSHIP. AND YOU FEED
IT CONTINUOUSLY AND ALL IT HAS EVER DONE IS DEMAND MORE.''
Once again I looked upon the scene and pondered all that was there. The four groups three separate
but entwined by the demonic. Inside I felt anger and loathing at the same time against these three
groups who each came differently in manor and attitude and with different ''food'' for the demon. Yet all
fed the demon.
''THE SIN MANIFESTS IN THE NATURAL REALM AND THE SPIRITUAL REALM. YOUR
PHARISEES OPENLY SPEAK AGAINST THE NATURAL SIN WHILE YOUR SADUCEES
SUPPORT THE SIN OPENLY. YET BOTH GROUPS SAY THEY ARE OF ME. THOSE THAT RAIL
AGAINST THE SHEDDING OF INNOCENT BLOOD IN THE NATURAL DO IT FREELY IN THE
SPIRIT. ALL SIN HAS THIS DUALITY, YET FEW WOULD KNOW IT.
I ONCE TOLD NICODEMUS THAT MAN MUST BE BORN BOTH THROUGH WATER AND
THROUGH THE SPIRIT. THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE IN THE SPIRIT WERE NOT BORN OF MY
FATHER. THEY CAN CLAIM ALL THAT THEY MAY WISH, BUT I DO NOT KNOW THEM. THIS
FACT DOES NOT SEEM TO BOTHER MOST WHO EVEN NOW CRY LORD, LORD AND LISTEN
TO OTHER VOICES FOR THEY LIKE THE SOUND OF THOSE VOICES.
FEW INDEED SHEMUEL, HEAR MY VOICE AND LOVE MY WORD''.
''LEARN THE TRUTH BEHIND THIS REALITY THAT YOU NOW HAVE WITNESSED....
THE FIRST GROUP HAS BROUGHT THEIR SEED TO THE ABOMINATION IN FEAR AND
TERROR.
THE LIES AND THE PRESSURES OF THE WORLD HAS PLACED MANY OF THESE IN THE
POSITION THAT THIS IS THEIR ONLY SOLUTION. SO THEY ABORT THEIR BABIES OR LET
THEIR CHILDREN DIE BECAUSE OF THEIR POVERTY, THEIR AGE, THEIR POLITICAL
SITUATION. WHEN LIFE IS RIPPED FROM THE WOMB BY FORCE BECAUSE OF
GOVERNMENTAL DECREE NO GODLY NATION WOULD STAND SILENTLY AWAITING A
CHANCE TO DO BUSINESS.
THAT ALONE IS INDICTMENT AGAINST YOUR NATION AND YOUR PEOPLE.''
''THE SECOND GROUP ARE THOSE WHO BOAST OF THEIR ''RIGHTS'' TO KILL, MAIM, AND
DESTROY. THEY STRUT IN THEIR ARROGANCE SAYING THEY FEAR NO MAN, AND NO GOD.
IF THEY HAD WISDOM THEY WOULD SHOW GREATER CONCERN ABOUT THEIR OWN GODS.
THEY MAY NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM, BUT THEY SERVE THEM WELL.''
THIS INDICTMENT IS MADE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS. SOME THAT VERBALIZE
THEIR OPEN HATRED OF MY FATHER AND MYSELF, AND SOME THAT OPENLY PROFESS MY
NAME AMONG MEN FOR THEIR GAIN AND NOT MINE.
''THE THIRD GROUP ARE THOSE THAT ARE TARES. THEY PREACH FALSEHOOD IN MY
NAME. THEY HAVE WHORED AFTER OTHER GODS AND HAVE FALLEN SLAVES TO SELF,
FEAR, AND EXPEDIENCE. SO THEY ESPOUSE THE GOSPELS THAT ARE CREATED TO
SERVE SELF, ALLEVIATE FEAR, AND PROVE TO BE THE MOST EXPEDIENT.''
THIS INDICTMENT IS MADE AGAINST AN APOSTATE CHURCH THAT UNKNOWINGLY WARS

AGAINST ME IN MY OWN NAME FOR THEY NEVER KNEW ME OR MY WORD.
And I was suddenly back in the place of LIGHT and my MASTER stood before me...
"PONDER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN THE VALLEY OF GEHENNA.....
PONDER WHAT YOU WILL DO IN THE DAYS AHEAD....
I PLACE A CUP BEFORE YOU OTHERS HAVE REFUSED TO DRINK....
PONDER WELL SHEMUEL THE NEXT JOURNEY YOU FACE.''
The next day I received a question about THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE.....and the rest that has
followed....
As I was studying the place called TOPHET in the WORD I was asked to bring answers....which I did
in brotherhood and obedience.... so I spoke TRUTH....and drank the cup... and that night I returned to
the VALLEY OF GEHENNA.....but we were not alone.....
Once again I stood with THE MASTER and watched the horrors in this foul place....
''THIS IS THE PLACE THAT WILL BURN FOREVER YET NONE BELOW US ARE OFFENDED BY
THEIR ACTIONS. DO YOU SENSE THE DIFFERENCE?'', HE ASKED.
As before the four groups were manifest before the idol/demon. Again the emotions of anger and
grief flooded through me...but....a sense of diminishment, of loss was also there and I wanted to step
away. As I felt this I heard a muffled weeping, and as I turned to see my LORD on the other side of
where MY MASTER STOOD....and I was between them.... and I felt ABBA in my spirit and I heard the
gentle sobs of one suffering great loss......
To my right was ADONAI dressed again in black armor....and to my right in the hood and mantle was
RUACH....THE MOST GENTLE AND TENDER HOLY SPIRIT......
weeping......
And deep in my spirit I heard ABBA say...''WE WEEP FOR OUR CHILDREN WHO ARE
DESTROYED''.......
As each sob tore through me a murderous fire seemed to well up in me and I wanted to do something
to stop HIS GRIEF......
"NOW YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE UNPARDONABLE SIN IS SHEMUEL....'' and I turned to the
DREAD ONE....my MASTER....EL GABOR....ADONAI ZABAOTH....
''DID I NOT SAY THAT WHAT IS SAID AND DONE AGAINST ME MAY BE FORGIVEN, AND THAT
WHICH IS SAID AND DONE AGAINST THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN? ISN'T
IT IRONIC THAT THOSE WHO CLAIM THE RIGHT OF CHOICE INADVERTENTLY DEFEND MY
RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT I DO NOT FORGIVE....''
And with that HE tilted HIS HEAD back and laughed....THE LION LAUGHED....and THE ROAR shook
the universe. energy flowed through every fiber in my being. and the activities in GEHENNA stopped.
No one moved in the VALLEY. No demon danced. No one approached the fire.
''THE BATTLE, WARRIOR, HAS ALWAYS BEEN BETWEEN THE SEED OF THE WOMAN....AND
THE SEED OF THE SERPENT. GEHENNA IS THE PLACE OF UTTER DEFILEMENT WHERE
THE SEED IS DESTROYED BEFORE IT CAN BEAR FRUIT.
THE FIRST GROUP DRESSED IN RAGS AND CAME IN HESITATION. SPIRITUAL ABORTION IS
WHEN THE SEED I PLANT IS MURDERED. WHEN THE SPIRIT THAT INFILLS ALL OF ABBA'S
CHILDREN IS ABUSED, MOLESTED, NEGLECTED, STARVED, RAPED, AND DEFILED. THEY
GO TO THE FIRE AND CAST THEIR GIFT INTO THE ENEMY'S MAUL. THEY SOUGHT THE LIGHT
AND WERE STRANGLED BY THE WEEDS AROUND THEM.
THE SECOND GROUP DENIES THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT'S PRESENCE IN THEIR LIVES AND DO
ALL IN THEIR OWN STRENGTH. THEIR STEPS ARE ARROGANT, THEIR WORDS ARE
HAUGHTY. THEY HAVE SPIRITS QUICK TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT.
SPIRITS MORE FAMILIAR TO THEIR PURPOSES AND NOT MY FATHER'S.
THE THIRD GROUP IS THE MOST INTERESTING DON'T YOU THINK SHEMUEL? THEY ARE THE
PHARISEES AND SADUCEES THAT DO THE MOST TO DAMAGE THE KINGDOM....AND THEY
DO IT SUPPOSEDLY IN MY NAME. THE FIRST TWO GROUPS THROW THEIR OWN SEED INTO
THE FIRE. THE SEED PLANTED AND WATERED BY THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT....BUT STILL
THEIR SEED. ULTIMATELY THEIR CHOICE.....
BUT THIS GROUP COMES WITH THE SEED OF OTHERS THAT THEY DESTROYED.
SOME SEED WAS THE CALL TO THE MINISTRY THAT WAS STIFLED AND PERVERTED.
SOME SEED WAS THE EXUBERANCE OF THOSE WHO HAD JOY IN THEIR SALVATION
SNATCHED AWAY BY A WHIM OR A JEALOUS ACT.
SOME SEED WAS THE GIFTS THAT THE FATHER GIVES TO ALL HIS CHILDREN.
ASSASSINATED BY FALSE SHEPHERDS WHO FEARED THE LOSS OF CONTROL.
SOME SEED WAS THE FLOW AND FIRE OF MY PASSION QUENCHED BY THOSE WHO FEAR
TRUE EMOTION.
SOME SEED WAS THE ANOINTING OF SERVICE INFECTED AND INFESTED BY DOCTRINES
OF MEN AND DEMONS THAT WERE DISQUALIFIED IN THE RACE MEANT TO BE RUN.
SOME SEED WAS THE FLOWER OF YOUTH THAT SETTLED FOR A PLACE AT AHAB'S TABLE
WHEN THEY WERE OFFERED NOWHERE ELSE TO SIT.
SOME SEED WAS THE STRENGTH OF PURPOSE WORN DOWN AND DEFEATED BY TIME
AND LONELINESS.
AND SOME SEED WAS THE SONS WHO SOLD THEIR BIRTHRIGHT FOOLISHLY.
SOME DIED SHORTLY AFTER CONCEPTION.

SOME DIED EARLY IN THE WOMB.
SOME DIED BEING TORN FROM THE WOMB.
SOME DIED STRANGLED AT BIRTH.
SOME DIED OF STARVATION AND NEGLECT.
SOME DIED AT THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO HATE ME.
AND ALL HAVE FED THE ABOMINATION.
MUCH INNOCENT BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED AND I WILL STOP IT AS I HAVE SAID.
NO LONGER WILL I KEEP MY PEACE AND BE STILL. I HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL TO DO THE
WORK OF MY FATHER. BUT ALL I DID WAS LONG AGO
AND IT WAS DONE UPON THE TREE. THEN AND THERE IT WAS FINISHED. THERE IS
NOTHING MORE FOR ME TO DO AND NOTHING MORE WILL I DO. ALL THAT WHICH REMAINS
IS TO TREAD THE WINEPRESS.
I SENT THE COMFORTER TO BAPTIZE AND TO FILL ALL WHO WOULD SEEK MY FATHER
THROUGH ME. IT IS THE COMFORTER THAT THIS SIN IS AGAINST. BEFORE I LAID DOWN MY
LIFE FOR MY SHEEP I GAVE THAT PROMISE AND HE HAS LEAD MINE IN ALL TRUTH. MANY
DENY HIS EXISTENCE WHO BEAR MY NAME. MANY BY DECREE REFUSE THE GIFTS AND
EMPOWERMENT ABBA OFFERED. MANY HAVE SLIGHTED HIS PRESENCE, QUENCHED HIS
PRESENCE, PERVERTED HIS PRESENCE IN ORDER TO SERVE SELF.
NOW IS THE TIME OF JUDGEMENT UPON THE WICKED SERVANTS WHO CLAIM TO BE IN
AND OF MY HOUSE. HAVE NOT FOOLISH AND WICKED SERVANTS ALWAYS CLAIMED THAT I
AM A HARD MASTER WHO REAPED WHERE I DID NOT SOW. THAT I WOULD HARVEST
WHERE I HAD NOT PLANTED.
THEN LET IT BE SO....EVEN IF I DO NOT KNOW THEM FOR I SHALL CUT THEM DOWN AND
THRESH AND WINNOW THEM. WHATEVER I FIND WILL BE SEPARATED AND PREPARED
FOR EITHER MY BARNS, OR FOR THE FIRE.
SO OFTEN THESE WICKED ONES HAVE PREACHED OF MY JUDGEMENT BEGINNING IN MY

HOUSE. THEY HAVE PROPHESIED THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION UNKNOWINGLY FOR THEIR
FINGERS ALWAYS POINTED AT ANY THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD FIND WITH SPECKS IN
THEIR EYES. YET WERE BLIND TO MY WAYS AND DEAF TO MY WORDS. NOW I WILL DO ALL
THAT THEY HAVE SPOKEN. SELAH.
MANY WHO HAVE DESTROYED MY SEED WILL STAND BEFORE ME AND SHOUT
''LORD...LORD''....NEVER AWARE OF THEIR INIQUITY FOR TRULY THEY NEVER KNEW ME.
NOR I THEM. BUT AS THEY KNOW OF ME, SO DO I KNOW OF THEM AND THEIR WORKS. FOR
IT IS BY THEIR WORKS THEY HAVE CONDEMNED THEMSELVES AND PLACED
THEMSELVES AGAINST THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT AND MY FATHER.
NO LONGER WILL I AND THOSE OF ME TOLERATE THEM OR THEIR DEEDS. TRUE

SEPARATION BEGINS AS THE WHEAT AND THE TARES ARE CUT AND THE HARVEST SO
MANY CALLED FOR BEGINS AND QUICKLY ENDS. FOR THE SEPARATION MUST OCCUR
BEFORE AND BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE THRESHING BEGINS AND THE WINNOWING
STARTS.
LONG HAS MAN FED THE ENEMY THE SEED I SOWED FOR I SOWED ABUNDANTLY. THE
TIME OF SOWING IS FINISHED, THE ''TIME'' HAS PAST. THE TIME OF GRACE HAS FINISHED
AND I ALONE HAVE AUTHORITY TO MAKE JUDGEMENT AND TO MAKE WAR.
NOW IS THAT TIME.
AND NOW I CHOSE TO BEGIN WHERE THE OFFENSE IS GREATEST.
SO I TELL YOU NOW MY SERVANTS, MY PEOPLE. DO NOT PRAY FOR THOSE PEOPLE....DO
NOT PROPHESY UNTO THEM FOR I HAVE SET MY FACE AGAINST THEM THIS DAY. DO NOT
SAY THEY ARE ''MY PEOPLE'' FOR NOW I HAVE SEPARATED THE WHEAT AND THE TARES.
PROPHETS WHO ARE DECEIVED AND PROPHESY UNTO THEM WILL TAKE THE
PUNISHMENT OF THESE IDOLATERS UPON THEMSELVES AND WILL CUT THEMSELVES
OFF FROM ME.''
And suddenly I was in the VALLEY OF VISION just below ZION....
(this is where the THUNDER ENDS BILL.....and something deeper was imparted....selah)
and before me dressed in the CAPTAIN'S travelling garb was THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT.....
''YOU HAVE EATEN AND DRANK OF AND FROM THE LAMB. ACCORDING TO THE LAW AND
THOSE WHO SERVE THE LAW AND NOT GOD, YOU ARE DEFILED. YOU CAN NOT ENTER THE
CAMP ANY LONGER. THEY CAN NOT AND WILL NOT TOLERATE YOUR PRESENCE.
NOR WILL THEY WITHSTAND THE ASSAULTS YOU MAKE UPON THEIR PERSONAL
STRONGHOLDS. ALL WERE CALLED OUT AND TO BE SEPARATED UNTO HOLINESS. YET
THEY WILL NOT. THEY LOOK UPON YOU AS A LEPER, ONE UNCLEAN. THEY WILL CALL
TRUTH A LIE, PURE AS CORRUPT, GOOD AS EVIL''.
And I stood aware that I knew and understood for I had been asked if I knew the cost....
''FEW WILL DESIRE TO BE NEAR YOU. MANY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD YOU FOR SO LONG.
YOU WILL ACT IRRATIONAL TO MANY. MANY WILL CALL YOU CALLOUS AND UNFEELING.
FOR YOU WILL IN THEIR EYES SEEM LACKING COMPASSION WHEN IT IS MERELY YOUR
INABILITY TO TOLERATE EVIL IN YOUR PRESENCE.
''ONLY BLACK ARMOR, CHILD, SHALL YOU EVER WEAR. LET OTHERS POLISH AND PRIMP
UNKNOWINGLY THEIR PLACE. IT SHALL NOT COME OFF TILL YOU FALL. THE ENEMY
CANNOT REMOVE IT, ABBA PLACED IT ON YOU. THE SON COMMANDS AND WILL PICK YOU
UP AS HE HAS PROMISED. I WILL BE WITH YOU AT THE END. YOU SHALL NOT BRING TEARS
TO MY EYES FOR I WILL NOT BE GRIEVED, EVEN IN THE END. NO MORE QUESTIONS, NO
MORE DOUBTS. TODAY ONLY DO YOU HAVE. THERE IS NO TOMORROW TO TAKE YOUR
CONCERN. THE FIRE ONLY GROWS HOTTER, THE WATER ONLY FLOWS DEEPER, AND
COLDER.''
and silently THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT was gone and I stood alone.
I wonder about many things...even now. each day I have mini visions without warning. most are subtle,
some stark and graphic. and I wonder who is understanding what this means....or will I have to go
back and forth to GEHENNA as I did the circus....I hated the circus....
GEHENNA WAS GEHENNA!!!!!
who would walk with me, anyway?

What Does God Have In Store For 1998

Bob Laflin
Last month I shared with you about '98 being a year that would focus on death and would be overshadowed by the
"spirit of perversity". I would like to continue with what the Lord has laid on my heart about next year.
You will find many things that are now hidden will be revealed. Next year will be a year of discovery. People that
have been kidnapped years ago will suddenly turn up--bodies will be found that were dumped in lakes and rivers--
long lost loved ones will show up on doorsteps or make phone calls when least expected--many who have
committed adultery years before and hid it will be surprised and embarrassed as many of these secret acts will come
to the surface--illegitimate children by the scores will be on the lookout for their biological parents through the
assistance of the Internet and many men will be surprised to find out that they have more children than they thought
they did as well a many more financial responsibilities.
Hidden sins in the churches will shock the leadership of many denominations as the truth of what "really happened"
many years before will come to light (encounters in Sunday School rooms, adulterous situations, deceptive
maneuvers with God's money, and many indiscretions that have left church authorities baffled and congregations
bound for decades.)
People who were sworn to secrecy will finally share the truth as those who have kept them from doing so will be
"taken" out of the way through death or retirement. Jesus will walk through the aisles of pews and chairs of hundreds
of churches this year and will unveil through words of knowledge things that were said and done in times past that
were never dealt with, that have a lasting "stinger" that God wants to pull out so there can be healing. Other
individuals will look over legal documents, private papers and wills only to discover "hidden skeletons" existing in
their family lineage that have strong ramifications for the day they live in.
God will AMAZE people with what He knows about their past. I would like to stress the point that I make
wherever I speak concerning words of knowledge and wisdom: God will not reveal sins from the past that are
UNDER THE BLOOD OF JESUS! The things that will be unveiled this year will be facts, situations and sins that
have never been dealt with and that are a hindrance to the healing of individuals, families, churches and nations. "For
there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light."
(Matt. 4:22)
'98 is a year to PREPARE! America needs to prepare spiritually for the next president. It also needs to prepare for
a new leadership. The WORLD (America) needs to prepare to receive a new Pope, the change of boundary lines
on the world map and a discovery of something that scientists never knew existed.
Not too long ago the Lord shared with me that Christians will need to be very sensitive when they sit down to a
meal. Most people that pray over a meal pray that the Lord will bless it. And they should! But this year God will put
on the hearts of many to intercede in earnest prayer for the healing of the food they are about to eat. Many people
will die from tainted meats and vegetables this year and new strains of viruses will show up in seemingly good food.
In third world countries, because of the lack of food supplies, they will not care too much about the risk involved. In
America, people won't believe that it's possible for it to happen and therefore will do little about it. Many believers
will find themselves directed by the Lord to fast and pray for days concerning the welfare of the food supply of the
nations as Satan has a plan to "taint" food in many countries. The United State WILL be affected. Many Christians
will find themselves quoting Mark 16:17-18 and will believe God for deliverance. Miracles will flourish.
This will be a time in history where believers will sit in their homes and discuss seriously the Lord's "next move."
Phrases like, "Is this it?", "Did you see that?", "I can't believe that this is really happening!" "This reminds me of the
scripture that...", "Is this the end?" will be commonly spoken all over the world. Christians will have a hard time
getting out of Revelation but false teachers will show up everywhere to give great interpretations. This is nothing
new, they will just be more intense and bold in their presentation.
Many many prophesies will be fulfilled this year in the lives of the people of faith, words that were spoken years ago
by faithful servants with a prophetic anointing. This will cause a great celebration in the "camp of the Lord." Whole
denominations will see words of prophesy fulfilled that were spoken by their founders decades ago......

Prophetic Word For Europe

by John Mulinde
Source: Joel News 216-
Date: 17 Aug, 1998
The following is a summary of a prophetic word that the Lord gave to John Mulinde concerning the nations of Europe.
John Mulinde is the leader of a ministry known as WORLD TRUMPET MISSION. He is based in Kampala - Uganda from
where he pursues a vision to reach the whole world with a trumpet-call to the nations to arise and prepare the way for the
Lord. His ministry is Interdenominational, and maintains very good working relations with all Evangelical Christians both
within Uganda and on the International scene.
Very often the Lord has given prophetic revelation to John which has come to pass with amazing results. As God sent
him in other nations in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and America, He also gave him prophetic utterance addressing
the nations with a trumpet call. What is it that God requires nations to do, or take into account in order to see Revival
come? Below is a prophetic revelation written in John's own words. It is a word for Europe, with specific reference to UK
and France.
WORLD TRUMPET MISSION prays for the nations of the world, that God would prepare them for Revival. It also sends
out missionaries to every nation that God specially points out to us. These are people prepared to pay any cost in
contributing to revival and the evangelisation of the land wherever they go. We believe in the need for all churches to join
hands in working for revival,. and that is what our missionaries seek to encourage when they go in any nation. They work
with the entire body of Christ, inter-denominationally.
What I am going to share below is just a part of a bigger picture that the Lord allowed me to see with astounding clarity.
It concerns the destiny of nations in the near future. The picture cuts across the world covering nations like USA, UK,
France and the rest of Europe, as well as Israel, the former Soviet Union and the African continent.
One day as we prayed for Western Europe, I had a picture shown me in the Spirit. In this picture I saw the map of the
continent of Europe and as I looked there came out of this map a big pillar of smoke. It was a tall, thick and dark pillar of
heavy black fumes as from a factory chimney. The fumes rose up very slowly and gradually began spreading out.
From the pillar came a thin mist and it began spreading out almost imperceptibly, but within a short time it had formed a
dark film over the entire continent of Europe. As the mist grew thicker the features below blurred out and became difficult
to distinguish under the film of black fumes.
Then suddenly I saw a small light spring out within the Isles of the UK. It grew rapidly with fingerlike rays of light
spreading out in all directions. The rays to the South spread out wider and with longer beams than the rest and soon cut
across the European mainland. For some time they disappeared into the thick black cloud rising and spreading over the
rest of Europe; then they broke through and reappeared from within the fumes. They spread out even farther touching
across the entire African continent, eastwards across Asia and Australia, and westwards across North and South
America. Then the picture disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared and in its place came a Scripture:
ISAIAH 60: 1-5: "Arise, shine for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold,
the darkness shall cover the Earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and
his glory shall be seen upon. And the nations shall come upon thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy
rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy
sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at side. Then thou shall see, and flow together,
and your heart shall fear and be enlarged because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee,
the forces of the nations shall come to thee."
Later as I continued to seek God about the meaning of this picture the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me. He said that the
picture was a representation of what was happening in the spiritual realm of Europe right now. I cannot quote everything
word for word but the following is the sum of revelation I received.
"A thick darkness is rising out of the continent of Europe right now. It is going to grow in intensity and will soon cover the
whole continent. and on to the rest of the world. It is a force of evil. Wherever it will gain full control over any land it will
turn the hearts of the people totally away from God. They will then hate anything to do with God, with righteousness or
indeed with any goodness. Sanity will be cast overboard, and people will call good evil and evil good. They will desire to
give vent to the basest animal passions in them and will look for wilder and wilder ways of doing this. They will enjoy evil
and will love all others who enjoy it."
In this Vision I understood clearly that because of the above conditions many unbelievers would perish without Christ,
and many Christians who are weak and staggering would lose their endurance and give in to evil. But the Lord of love and
compassion has a plan to pour out revival and cause righteousness to triumph.
The Spirit of the Lord said to me. "The light that you saw is My power of renewal soon to be released upon the land and
people of Europe. It will come if my people will give themselves wholeheartedly to seeking my face. Its coming will be like
a great storm. It will be a mighty power against the darkness and will protect My people front the effect of the invasion of
darkness. Wherever the light will break out the darkness shall be neutralised and defeated. But this calls for the co-
operation of my people in seeking for it to happen."
BRITAIN
Later the Lord said to me "say to my people in Britain 'Arise and shine for the light of the Lord is come upon you ..
(Please read verses 1, 2 & 3 of Isaiah 60 for the full text.)
Yes... I understood the Lord to be clearly calling Britain into a special place of responsibility. While the darkness is rising
fast in the nations, and many are losing all sense of direction God will cause Britain to birth a new thing. A great light will
spring out of Britain. It will be a wind of the Holy Spirit and will sweep across the whole or Europe like a bush fire. Indeed
it shall stretch out to the ends of the world where it will join with other fires in worldwide revival.
If you will answer this call, Oh Britain, And give yourself to institute prayer in your land,... And seek the Lord with all your
heart,... With groaning and travailing prayer, even as a woman in labour pains. Yes if you will repent of your sin and
iniquities, If you heal the wounded hearts within you, And cause unity to abound among your people, Oh,. if you will
return to your redemptive purpose And again be faithful to the work of being a witness of the Gospel in the nations Then
God will release upon you a mighty out-pouring of His Spirit. You will again be clothed with the Glory of the Lord. You will
be a nation that bears the name of the Lord like a banner in the sky.
Other nations will see what God is doing in you. Yes, those that are struggling against the domineering darkness
looming over their territories will call out to you for help and assistance. Then you will be used by the Lord to bring light
and redemption to many, even as in the olden days. That is God's redemptive purpose for you.
There are many in Europe and beyond who would choose Christ. given a fair chance to decide. But up to now. they are
still blinded and cannot see Christ. There are many, too, who are Christians but are weak, wounded and weary: they have
no strength to resist.
If you will rise up to the challenge then the Lord will use you to take the Light to such as these. Then even if the rising
darkness covers their land they will survive its destructive influence because of the revival power of God. Such is the
responsibility God is laying upon you: to birth the revival that will spread out to the rest of Europe.
If you do not rise up to your calling God will let you go as He said in Proverbs 1:22-33 (please read that passage) God
will cause Judgement to come upon you, Britain, for having neglected and forsaken your destiny as a great Missionary
Nation, and for not paying heed when God offered you an opportunity of Grace.
It was God's plan from the beginning to use you to take the Good News to the nations of the world. That is why from the
beginning He allowed you great authority as a maritime nation: that you may travel far and wide. It was his hand that
allowed you to establish an empire covering almost the entire world. It was not just for your pride, but so that in the
process you may win over the peoples of those nations to Him. Yes, it was even Him that blessed your language
ENGLISH into becoming the most widely spoken language in the world. He intended to use it as medium of
communication, effectively linking the peoples of the world. Your great missionaries were used to Christianise many
lands. Your statesmen helped to end slave trade, and to lay a foundation from which the people of God within the nations
are rising to make their contribution to world evangelisation. There is a lot for you to repent of in what you did in the
nations but the good things remain, nevertheless.
Look what Britain become today. Once a great Christian nation, you have permitted many things to slip away. Very often
you turned a deaf ear against all warnings to safeguard what is good and still remain its of your great Christian heritage.
You have already lost a great deal of that heritage, and a lot more will certainly go if you do not take quick action to
redeem it. If you will not repent, Britain, you will certainly not escape God's judgement, and will be a victim of the very
powers you were called to defeat.
(Please read again Isaiah 60: 4 & 5. This contains the rest of the prophetic revelation that I understood God to be saying
specifically to Britain.)
Look your sons and daughters come from afar and gather themselves unto you. These I understand to be people from the
lands once ruled by UK - stretching across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. They will again form a holy alliance
with you and in this networking great and mighty things shall come to pass.
Many. will come from Africa and the rest of the "third world" and will be used by the Lord God to bless you spiritually. In
some places they will take over your abandoned Places of worship and will bring new life to them and great blessing in
revival. That is why the Lord says (verse 5) "then you shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear and be
enlarged "
This will demand great humbling on your part but your God shall lift you up. These are the last days and God is calling
every nation to take up its position in God's redemptive purpose and fulfil their calling. You are not the first nation in God's
calling but neither are you the last. Do not let pride hinder you. Look at the gifting God has allowed you to acquire over
the years and the unique position you hold in relation to Europe, America Africa and indeed Asia. Turn now and do not
allow yourself to miss God's timing. All Europe is going to pass through a very painful struggle between two aggressive
forces: Light vs. darkness! God has called you to play a crucial role so arise!
FRANCE
I will briefly say of France that as a nation it needs a lot more prayer now than ever before. In May 1997 just before I
visited France I received a very unusual impression upon my heart. I was praying for France and I felt deep in my Spirit
that God is pushing France into a position that it has not experienced for a very long time: being at cross roads. He is
giving France a chance to reconsider its destiny. On the one hand is this darkness rising over the nations of Europe, and
on the other is the revival God is about to send to sweep Europe.
I felt deep in my Spirit that God is giving a period of two years to France during which everything done will be like a seed
for the future. If the Church in France will arise in unity to cry out to God to remember mercy, If it will work at cleansing
the land, reconciliation, and instituting prayer all over the land, Yes, if deep travailing prayer will rise to God in desperate
seeking, then the Lord will certainly visit France with a new refreshing touch. But, if complacency reigns and the nation
drifts further away front the Lord of Host, If the church does not rise up to the challenge, there is no doubt a great
judgement will come upon France and no one will be able to save it. It would be totally consumed by the dark cloud of
evil hovering over the continent. The whole destiny of the land depends on what the church will do in the next two years. If
it will, the church can determine the course of this great nation.
I do not claim at all to understand the full meaning of the above word. I believe a lot needs to be made clear to me and I
am eager to allow the Lord to teach me. I, however, feel a great sense of urgency for France. The next two years are two
crucial years that France should not waste. Whatever is sown is what will be reaped.
As people from other nations God has burdened us to pray for Europe. All we can do is pledge our faithfulness in this,
and also a willingness to come over and share experiences God has taught us in praying for revival in our own nations. It
will take a lot of work to produce the required results in Europe. It will also call for substantial contribution from people of
other nations. May His will be accomplished. Amen!

A Word For The Year 5759...

(on the Jewish calendar)
by Jim Wies
"It is a new day and a new season.." Says the Lord. "For I have loved you with an everlasting love and in my love I have
disciplined you and I have refined you and you have endured the times of sifting and the times of testing. And now.." says
the Lord.. "you are about to walk into my times of gifting and times of blessing."
"For did you not know that all that comes your way is carefully scrutinized by Me and weighed upon My scale of
deliberate character development - for My agenda - set and predetermined to mature you and perfect you; that you might
reign in life.". says the Lord.
"And even as the seasons of planting and watering, pruning and harvest can be observed in the fields of life so it is with
Me" says the Lord your Savior. 'And even as I have called you to be patient until My coming, just as the farmer waits for
the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain' so it is with my 'comings' of
manifested glory in your midst. For I am surely coming again in a literal body, but I am also coming now in waves of glory
and power in this day and hour by My Spirit" says God. "For even as the calendar has turned and a new year has
dawned, so it is a new day. Do not look to the former things and think that it will always be as it has always been; for
now, EVEN NOW, a new thing springs forth" says the Lord.
"And now comes a season to gird up your loins and prepare for battle, for the season has come to possess the land
which I promised. "Now hear me," says the Lord. "The time is now to believe in the LORD your God, and so you shall be
established; believe my prophets, and so you shall prosper."
"And you will stand and behold my dread power, as I have set my angelic host to shake what can be shaken; but you..
you have become partakers of a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, A Kingdom of grace, by which you will find strength
to serve Me with reverence and godly fear."
"So go forth in the power My grace; go forth in the confidence of faith in your God, for you shall surely find Me ready to
back you up with my power in this hour." says the Lord.

The Five Angels of the Continents

Samuel Doctorian
16th August 1998 on the Isle of Patmos
This message was transcribed by Ruthanne Garlock from a tape we received in Singapore on August 30th, 1998
from Wee Tiong How. He had just returned from the Isle of Patmos where he attended a prayer retreat with a small
group of Singaporeans, and where Samuel Doctorian related this experience to them. We do not personally know
Dr.Doctorian (a naturalized American), but his ministry is well spoken of by many of our friends in Singapore.
"I was here alone in a house on the Isle of Patmos for several weeks to pray and seek the Lord. I found a little
chapel - St. Nicolas's Chapel - where no one ever goes. I went there and poured out my heart before God. I found
a rock on the side of a hill where I would go to sit and pray - meditation and reading the Bible. I ate very little during
those days. Several times I went to the cave of John where he saw the great Revelation.
While meditating for one month in this solitary place, I thought, "I wonder if the Lord will ever send a tenth angel?"
I'd seen angels nine times before - in England, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in Amman, Jordan, in Jerusalem, and angel
that delivered a woman from being hanged in upper Egypt; I saw the ninth angel in Beirut in the midst of war. The
angel physically awakened me at 3:00 in the morning and told me to get out of the country immediately. I am grateful
to the Lord until today - I don't know what might have happened to me if the angel had not come. Heaven will tell
that one-day. So I wondered whether I would see an angel for the tenth time. There were times when I was praying
when I felt such presence I asked, "Lord, I wonder if an angel is coming now? " But it was not so. One night I even
dreamt about an angel. He told me to fly in my dream and I did - but that was only a dream. I wanted to see a real
angel, as I had seen nine times before.
On June 20 at 3:50am, here in Patmos suddenly my room was full of light, and there are no lights around here. It is a
house all by itself at the end of the road near a monastery. Lo and behold, when I was wide-awake - I saw five
beautiful angels. I saw their faces -perfect and human-like, but full of light. I saw their eyes, their hair, their hands.
On my right side were two angels, and when I looked to the left I saw three other angels with wings. They had
beautiful white robes falling to the floor - something I can't describe with human words. I wondered why five angels
had come, but I was trembling and shaking. I wanted to cry, but I could not. Just before I saw these angels in the
Spirit. I had seen myself in a great meeting of multitudes, and I was preaching in English. An interpreter was on my
left with dark hair and a grey suit, but I can't remember what language he was speaking. I was prophesying this
message: "My church, you preach love, you teach love, but you need to practice love - to show love. There is need
of unity in my body. There are many divisions among you. My spirit will not move and work where there is no unity.
There is carnality in my church; too much uncleanness in my church. I desire and I want a holy people. I died to
made you holy." While I was prophesying in the spirit I was trembling. My eyes opened and I was looking at the
great multitude. And suddenly, in the midst of the prophecy, these mighty angels appeared. I went back from the
pulpit and thought I was going to fall down. I am now wide-awake, but this is all happening in the spirit. Some
power helped me not to fall down and I wondered what was happening.
Then suddenly the first angel on my right side said," We are five angels from the five continents. We are here to give
you messages from the five continents of the world." The moment I heard that, I also heard the multitude crying out,
"Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh;" I believe that multitude saw the angels also. Somehow the Lord showed me that in the days to
come, in many parts of the world, God is going to reveal Himself through ministering angels. It's going to happen
publicly; it's going to happen in churches - thousands of people seeing angels at the same time. They will be
ministering to the Body in these last days. Then came this message from the angels:" What you see and hear, tell it to
the nations." So it's not something to keep to myself. Whether they accept it or don't accept it, I have to tell it to the
nations.
FIRST ANGEL:
The first angel said:" I have a message for all of Asia." When he said that, in a spilt few seconds, I could see all of
China, India, the Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to those countries. I saw the Philippines,
Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. And then the angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya and
down to Australia and New Zealand.
"I am the angel of Asia," he said. And in his hand I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia.
Whatever the angel said, it's going to happen with the trumpet of the Lord all over Asia. Millions are going to hear
the mighty voice of the Lord. Then the angel said, "There shall be disaster, starvation - many will die from hunger.
Strong winds will be looked like has never happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed.
Earthquakes will take place all over Asia and the sea will cover the earth.
I saw this on June 20. Today is August 16. A few weeks ago I heard the news of villages completely wiped out and
washed into the sea in Papua New Guinea. Thousand of lives in great jeopardy. That happened a few weeks ago,
and the angel told me it is going to happen all over Asia. "The earth will fall into the sea," I heard the angel say," part
of Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided, and a great part will go under the ocean. "This was frightening -
I wondered whether I was hearing right. But the angel said," Millions will die in China and in India. Nation will be
against nation, brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing millions."
Twice I heard the words, " Catastrophic! Catastrophic!" then the angel said, "Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will
shake the world."
I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at me and smiled and said," There shall be the
greatest spiritual awakening - bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia - China - India -
people will turn to Christ. In Australia there shall be tremendous revival." I heard the angel of Asia say, " It is the last
harvest." Then as if the Lord were speaking, he said," I shall prepare My church for the return of Christ." I was
happy with such good news after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my room I could feel
their presence - it was tremendous.
SECOND ANGEL:
Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting. The second angel said,"
Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran." I saw those countries in a few split seconds.
"All of Turkey and those [inaudible;] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each
other and kill one another." I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries.
I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full
of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons used in many of those countries.
Smoke rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction - men destroying one another.
I heard these words, " Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the
remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God." I saw fires rising to heaven. The
angel said," This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for the final day. Men will
die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in
those countries." The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the
Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest.
THIRD ANGEL:
Then one of the angels with wings showed me Europe from one end to the other - from the north all the way down
to Spain and Portugal. In his hand he had a scale of measurement. I saw him fly over Europe, and I heard the
words, " I am grieved. I am grieved. Unrighteousness, uncleanness, ungodliness - all over Europe. The sin has risen
to heaven. The Holy Spirit is grieved." I saw the rivers of Europe flooding and covering millions of houses. Millions
drown. After seeing this, I read the news a few weeks ago. Czechoslovakia had the worst flooding ever. I also
heard that the big river in China is in tremendous danger of thousands of houses being destroyed in flooding. I didn't
know all this news until after I had seen the vision and heard what the angels told me.
Suddenly I heard earthquakes all over Europe. " Countries that have had no earthquakes shall be shaken," said the
angel. And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling falling down. A great part of Germany
destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the
south and saw Spain and Portugal passing through hunger and great destruction.
Many will die from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I was disturbed by all this news, and I said," Lord, what
about your children?" The angel said," I shall prepare them. They shall be looking for the appearing of the Lord.
Many will cry to me in those days and I will save them. I shall perform mighty miracles for them and show them My
power." So in the midst of great destruction, there will be the grace of God in those countries. I was happy that God
has His protection over His children.
FORTH ANGEL:
Now we go to Africa. I saw the fourth angel with wings fly over Africa, and I could see from Capetown in the south
all the way to the north of Cairo - I saw all the countries there, more than fifty of them. The angel of Africa had a
sword in his hand - a tremendous, sharp sword. Suddenly I heard him say, " Innocent blood has been shed.
Divisions amongst the people generations far from the Lord - they have killed one another, thousands of people. I
have seen my faithful children in Africa, and I shall reward all the faithful in the continent of Africa. I shall bless them
abundantly. I shall control the weather - scorching and burning of the sun in some parts. Great rivers shall dry up,
and millions will die from starvation. In other parts, flooding. Foundations shall be shaken. My sword shall judge the
unrighteous and the bloodthirsty. So many earthquakes shall happen that rivers shall flow different directions in the
continent, flooding many villages." I saw great pieces falling from the sky over different parts of Africa " There shall
be trembling of the earth like has not been seen since the creation. None shall escape the sword of the Lord." I saw
the River Nile drying up. It is the god of Egypt. Fishes dead and stinking all over Egypt. A great part of the middle of
Africa will be covered with water - millions dying. "Lord," I said, "It is all bad news. All destruction. Any good
news?" The Lord said, "The final day has come. Judgment day is here. My love has been refused now, and the end
has come." I was shaking and trembling. I thought I cannot bear it.
FIFTH ANGEL:
Then I saw the last angel flying over North and South America - all the way from the North Pole down to Argentina.
>From the east of the U.S.A. to California. I saw in his hand a bowl. The angel said he would pour out over these
countries the judgments that were in the bowl. Then I heard the angel say, "No justice anymore. No righteousness.
No holiness. Idolatry. Materialism. Drunkenness. Bondage of sin. Shedding of innocent blood - millions of babies
being killed before they are born. Families are broken. An adulterous generation. Sodom and Gomorrah is here. The
days of Noah are here. False preachers. False prophets. Refusing of my love. Many of them have the imitation of
religion, but denying the real power.
When I heard all that, I begged the angel, "Can you not wait for a little while? Don't pour it. Give a chance for
repentance." The angel said, "Many times God has spared and has spoken, but they have not listened. His patience
has come to an end. Beware, the time has come. They have loved money and pleasure more than they have loved
Me." As the angel began to pour from the bowl in his hand, I saw tremendous icebergs melting. When that
happened I saw floods all over Canada and North America - all the rivers flood; destruction everywhere. I heard
the world market collapsing with mighty earthquakes, and New York skyscrapers were tumbling - millions dying.
I saw ships in the ocean sinking. I heard explosions all over the north country. I saw the angel pouring over Mexico
and two oceans joining together- the Atlantic and the Pacific. A great part of north Brazil covered with water, the
Amazon River turning into a great sea. Forests destroyed and flooded. Major cities in Brazil destroyed; earthquakes
in many places. As the angel poured, great destruction took place in Chile and Argentina as never before. The whole
world was shaking. Then I heard the angel say," This will happen in a very short time." I said, "Can't you postpone?
Don't pour these things out all over the globe." And suddenly I saw the five angels standing around the globe lifting
up their hands and their wings towards heaven and saying, "All glory to the Lord of heaven and earth. Now the time
has come and He will glorify His Son. The earth shall be burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away. The new
Heaven and New Earth shall come. God shall destroy the works of the devil forever. I shall show My power - how
I will protect My children in the midst of all this destruction.
Be ready for that day, for the Lord has come.
My room was full of light from the brightness of the angels. Then suddenly they ascended up to heaven. As I looked
up I saw the angels go in five directions. I know they already have started their duties. For more than an hour I could
not move. I was wide-awake, trembling from time to time. I said, " Lord, shall I leave Patmos now?" He said, "No, I
brought you here for a purpose." I said," The message from the angels all over the world is not good news. It is
judgment, punishment, destruction, devastation. What will people say about me? I've always been a preacher of
love, peace and good news." The angel said," It is our message. You are the instrument, the channel. What a
privilege that God has chosen you to give this message to the nations. "I said," Lord, Thy will be done." To God be
the glory.

The Five Trees

Mary Koons
Monday, November 30, 1998

The LORD showed me five trees, four of which were in beautiful bloom, while the fifth showed no
apparent blossoms...and said:
"The Kingdom of God is like a man who planted an orchard, and in this orchard he planted five trees.
Four of the trees sprouted early, and they became tall and strong. As it came time for harvest, these
trees blossomed out, and it appeared that these trees would be heavy- laden with fruit. And yet before
it was time for them to produce, a "killing-frost" came, they lost their blooms, and did not produce any
fruit."
"The fifth tree though wasn't like the other four. It did not "appear" to grow as fast, it seemed more
"slow and prodding." It seemed to almost contemplate growing, it took its time. It did not blossom
early like the others, and when the "killing frost" hit, it was NOT damaged, and after the frost was over,
the fifth tree, that had seemed the LEAST LIKELY, WAS THE ONE THAT PRODUCED THE
ABUNDANT HARVEST!"
"And so it is in MY KINGDOM. Do not judge yourself or rank yourself, by "how slow" it looks to you.
You are maturing in the BODY OF CHRIST, for I look at the heart. My children, don't try to "flower"
before your time. Spend time at my feet, learn from me. Read MY WORD. Even though to others - it
may appear that you are slow and prodding and slow to produce, the "killing frost" will not harm you.
When the winter comes you WILL SURVIVE, and YOU will be the one that produces an ABUNDANT
HARVEST!"
"COME UNTO ME ALL YE WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST!"
Rest in ME, MY CHILDREN. It is time to sit at my feet and learn. PRAY, PRAY CHILDREN, that you
learn well, and that you will also produce an abundant end-time harvest!!"

Six Waves Of Love

Jack Frost
In 1999, mighty waves of love will begin to roll across the nations in a greater magnitude than ever
before. These waves will be the beginning of a paradigm (or way of thinking) shift of what we have
known church life to be. They will come with such force that many who have not prepared their life with
a spirit of brokenness and humility will be washed aside and their ministries will no longer have the
effectiveness that they have had in the past. Others who have been obscure and broken will quickly
emerge to the forefront and will see cities impacted through a demonstration of anointing and power
that is released through relationship, meekness, and love. (Matthew 11:29, 23:11-12)
There will be a set of at least 6 waves of love that Father will pour upon the earth:
(1) The first wave will flow over Christians who have been emotionally handicapped because they
have not experienced the right kind of love. They are going to be saturated with the Father's
unconditional love and acceptance. Fears of failure and rejection will be cast out by love. No longer
will they compete and perform for love, identity, and acceptance but they will walk in a deeper sense
of security, love, and faith from a new found intimacy with the Father. (Isaiah 66:12-13)
(2) The second wave will be composed of humility and meekness and will anoint many leaders who
have walked in positional authority of true spiritual fathers. Their life will exemplify Christ likeness,
humility, meekness, and unconditional love. The anointing released through them will be based on
intimacy and relationship, not just power, giftings, and position. No longer will they struggle and weary
themselves with raising up leaders but they will be at rest fathering sons who will take the Father's
healing love to the nations. Many fathers and sons will be set in their destinies to transform the nations
in the Father's love. (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8)
(3) The third wave will release greater unity within the church than ever before. No longer competing
for love, position, and identity but now resting in Father's love and grace, pastors and different
churches will begin to flow with one voice and one vision within their cities. Their heart's cry will be to
make the Father's love known to their city and petty theological differences will fade away in the light
of God's love. (Psalm 133)
(4) The fourth wave will bring the prodigal sons and daughters home. These are those who left the
church because they have been so wounded by religion, those who felt they couldn't perform well
enough, those who were so wounded in their youth and couldn't match up to church standards; they
shall begin to return to the Father and to the spiritual fathers who now walk in humility and
unconditional love. Joy will return to the church as it becomes a place where the 'heart of the fathers is
restored to the heart of the sons, and the heart of the sons restored to the fathers'. (Malachi 4:5-6,
Luke 15:20-24)
(5) Then, the fifth wave will bring in the lost. They will begin to see the difference the Father's love has
made in Christian's lives. Before, their Christian work mates and family members were critical and
judgmental of them but now love, servanthood, and acceptance flows from them. Their countenance is
different. Their marriages are different. Being in a Christian's presence is no longer bad news to a lost
person but like a breath of fresh air. They begin to seek for the source of love and are led to the
Father. A wave of revival begins to sweep the nations. (John 17:23)
(6) A whole paradigm shift in church life results. No longer will the church be an unsafe place for
sinners and wounded people. No longer will many lead out of a need to be needed and to find identity,
value, and self worth in ministry. No longer will many churches be performance based. The church will
become the Father's House, a place where the Father lives to meet the love need of His children, and
His children will be at rest, comforted in the Father's love. "The goal is for all of them to become one
heart and mind, just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, so they might be one heart and mind in us.
Then the world might believe that you, in fact sent me. The same glory you gave me, I gave them, so
they'll be as unified and together as we are - I in them and you in me. Then they'll be mature in this
oneness, and give the godless world evidence that you've sent me and loved them in the same way
you've loved me.' (John 17:21-23, The Message)
WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE EACH WAVE

We can expect to go through many relational and personal trials and testings in coming months. Many
of the negative circumstances that will be going on around us will not be demonic but the dealings of
the Father which are meant to break unbroken areas and to purify our motives so we find our utter
dependence on Him and not on our giftings or position. Otherwise, the
Sprit flowing out of us to others is blended and mixed with our unbroken soul. When we open our
mouth, it is not pure but flows out of the impurity of a strong will or stubborn mind. Then our
effectiveness to touch other's loves with the Father's love is not hindered by a lack of anointing but by
the flow of impurities from our soul (James 1:2-4)
Often, the greatest weakness we have is our inability to truly acknowledge our need for Him. Thus,
Father has us in the process of depleting our identity from being in our inheritance found in giftings,
talents, and position (the prodigal son) so that He may bring us to the place of seeing that our greatest
need is a deep personal intimate relationship with Him. I t is difficult giving a gift to a person who has
no need. We must first see our desperate need for the removal of limitations of our soul that have
hindered us from purely walking in the Father's unconditional love and acceptance. (John 15:4-5)
The brokenness the Father is leading us into is meant to reveal a supernatural revelation of His love
deep in our area of need. Many of the troubles and trials we will experience are meant to bring us to a
place of brokenness so Father can pour forth His love deep within our soul. the measure of Father's
love being released in our life will depend upon how much we allow the Father to discipline, break,
and transform us. (John 16:20-27)
During the trials, continue to stand firm in God's grace (ability). Focus on the Father's love and
acceptance for us. Nothing we do will make Him love us more and nothing we do will make Him love
us less. We must not seek to blame others when things go wrong but allow the circumstance to be an
opportunity for the Father's love to purify our soul and to cleanse us from all resentment and anger.
Then we will begin to experience His wave of love flowing over us and washing away the fears,
limitations, and hindrances of the past. (1 Peter 3:9-11)
In the Father's love, Jack and Trisha Frost

7 Moves
Bob Neuman
YES, LORD there are times where I can only sit and ponder at what is swirling around me. To see the culmination in
"present knowledge" of the world being conformed for the "END TIME GAMBIT" just as IT WAS WRITTEN. And then to
be still as the MOST HIGH breathes upon and into me "revelation knowledge". As one mirrors the other I still have that
remarkable sense of wonderment and still look upward and ask "why?". ABBA never seems to tire of hearing my "why
LORD" 's. you would think maybe I would have outgrown it by now. When I first called upon HIS NAME I had so many
"whys".... And too many 'whines' too. And HE put up with it all to a point. Now my 'whines' are much fewer...but I still fall
too often.
But why seems always on my mind. There was a time where every day something would push a button and I had to ask.
In my 'youth' I ran an emotional gauntlet, as I would hear things spoken/taught that I could not accept.
Sometimes it was a simple lack of knowledge...and sometimes it was discernment simply lacking foundation or focus.
To "know" something is wrong without seeing the error is frustrating. The expected outcome was to go to the one who
always knows, ABBA. And if I did not seek ABBA I would find myself reacting out of my emotions. anger, fear,
confusion. In other words 'offended'. Every time I heard the WORD twisted to manipulate the sheep...everyt ime I heard
the WORD corrupted and defiled to sell an idea...every time I saw HIS SHEEP USED, ABUSED, and REFUSED I
wanted to react in like manner. But that was not ABBA'S WAY. Vengeance is HIS ALONE... so I learned to stand
watch. So I learned HIS WORD AND HIS WILL. And HE taught me to respond, not to react. To respond to the needs of
HIS SHEEP when and as HE directs. To respond through THE WORD and THE GIFTS. To intercede before HIM. To
STAND and to WALK.
Fear of the LORD.... Kneel in silence before HIM and ego shrivels. Stand before HIM to give answer to HIS complaint....
Yes you are obviously 'dead'.... But HE listens and instructs...HE chastens because HE understands us far beyond our
comprehension...and this brings WISDOM by which discernment is honed and tempered in HIS FIRE. Do I still get
offended...not really, "dead" men can't be offended...can't have an agenda...can't have preferences as we think of
them...can't have any human emotion... but I have never cried and grieved like I do now...I have never laughed and
rejoiced as I do now...nor have I seethed with anger as I do now.... Because it is HIS HEART I feel beating and HIS
thoughts that run through my mind. Yet I still don't like to wait...still feel lost and frustrated and vulnerable and powerless
and alone at times.... But it just makes me run faster to HIS ARMS...
so strangely, at least at the time, on the first Sunday in January as my pastor preached his "STATE OF THE CHURCH"
address ABBA and I began to remanis about all those cute 'sayings' man has come up with as their pet slogan for the
year. I remember the banners I’ve seen and the tapes I’ve heard pushing religious sound bites.... The battles won in 91...
much to do in 92... more of thee in 93... the open door in 94.... Barely alive in 95... in a fix in 96... and I realized that the
laughter was not as humorous as it began...when GOD laughs, in the psalms... it is to mock the enemy...our idea of
HOLY LAUGHTER is not the same as what I have heard in the field of battle where the TRUTH about "the joy of the
LORD is my strength" gains a whole new meaning. The churches' worldly ways do not bring ABBA any joy whatsoever...I
used to wonder and ask why all the time until HE TAUGHT me the meaning of the doctrines JESUS spoke of in Rev 2-3.
So I wait and abide until HIS TIME.
The next Sunday pastor continued his message and I got one to.... not a cute jingo...but a pattern, an outline for the year
ahead. or the last battle...take your pick...
So I listened and obeyed...as usual it means to write it down...now I have heard and read many words concerning what
will be. All seem right in one aspect or another... let me rephrase this...after you ignore all the crap and crud that is
unscriptural, new agey, self-promoting, irritates the MOST HOLY SPIRIT, and gives you the kreepy krawleys in the
discernment nook in your spirit...it is all of GOD but needs to fit into the puzzle somewheres...and none of us got it all or
know it all...yet...but soon....
So I wrote down what at first glance could have been a beginning to somebody's seven-part sermon.... But a lot of the
brethren have seen seven parts/pieces/waves/moves/etc. and I know HE LIKES TO KEEP THINGS IN SEVENS.... So
instead of asking why I asked what.... And I got a lot more than I was looking for...but now I know it is not yet all.... Let
me explain... HE said it is not what the church plans or expects to do that in this next year...I get the impression that not
to many actually took the time to ask HIM HIS OPINION.... But it isn't anything new I regret... [LORD, for what we are
about to receive may we be truly grateful]
In Psalm 98 it states:
3 let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. HIS NAME IS HOLY...and it is YAH....which means as all of
us know means "I AM"....but in the original HEBREW it can also mean "I BE"....since before last Yom Kippur one verse,
and one verse alone runs through my being and it overrides almost everything else....
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. If like David we
could say....
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. then we would probably in no
need for what GOD is about to do. If " we" spent as much time exalting HIS MOST HOLY NAME as we spend on church
stuff HE WOULD NOT HAVE TO DO IT HIMSELF... but then is this all a big surprise to HIM?
David it seems knew more than we for he also wrote...

13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. Then again this may be something HE
has awaited and planned for sense the foundations of the world were laid.... and HIS LAMB was slain.
In Psalm 118 we have this WORD...

16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
This year HE WILL DO VALIANTLY....
it will be a time of DRAWING....

it will be a time of DISCERNMENT....
it will be a time of DIRECTION....
it will be a time of DISCIPLINE....
it will be a time of DEVOTION....
it will be a time of DEPLOYMENT....
it will be a time of DESTRUCTION....
Basically these are all that will be done BY HIM, IN HIM, AND THROUGH HIM....
IN HIS CHURCH, BY HIS CHURCH, THROUGH HIS CHURCH....
If we take them one at a time, which I did, each has a specific meaning, a specific timing.... That there was coming an
intense drawing away from self and toward.... HOLINESS, OBEDIENCE, SERVICE..... That there would be an intense
growth of discernment of that which was of GOD.... The knowing between the GOOD and that which is BEST.... That
there was a new direction that all of us would discern to HIS PURPOSE AND HIS KINGDOM... and because of this we
will seek HIS DISCIPLINE in our lives.... And it will fire a devotion for HIM that will override everything else in our lives....
And then we will be DEPLOYED, a military term for being placed in the right place 'for the appointed time'.... And the
DESTRUCTION will begin.... Remember the IN..the BY...the THROUGH..... Now that alone would have been enough,
except the LORD OF HOSTS is EL GABOR....MY CAPTAIN....HE warned us of the enemy's infiltration and subversion of
HIS CHURCH in Mat 24..... 4 times HE said DO NOT BE DECEIVED.... And then HE TRIED TO WARN US
REPEATEDLY about doctrines of men and of demons.... And then, finally HE told JOHN of three doctrines/spirits
corrupting and controlling within the "7 churches of Asia".... which seem to be doing fine in present day America.... So
HE just happened to mention what would come against HIS PEOPLE and each move taking place....
THE DRAWING will be opposed by "a spirit of Hesitation".

THE DISCERNMENT will be opposed by "a spirit of Slumber".
THE DIRECTION will be opposed by "a spirit of Self-Centeredness".
THE DISCIPLINE will be opposed by "a spirit of Complacency".

THE DEVOTION will be opposed by "a spirit of Lukewarmness".
THE DEPLOYMENT will be opposed by "a spirit of Stagnation and a spirit of Mocking".
THE DESTRUCTION will be a time of loss and a time of wrath......
this I do not yet comprehend too well, but I am learning.... And then HE gave me specific scriptures for each.... THE
DRAWING is based out of HOSEA 2 and ISAIAH 5 (and Song of Solomon 1:4.) now this last verse I have added....
because three weeks later I gave a word in the 'local' body....
Oh my children, my children, this past year I have taken you through so much to draw you to me. You have
been sifted and you have been shaken. You have been broken and torn. I have seen your tears and I have
heard your cries. But children I was always with you, always for you. I walked with you in the good times and
in the bad. When you noticed my presence and when you did not. But now the seasons have changed and
the time to walk has passed. It is now time for you to run. All of you will run. Most of you will be running in
fear, running in pain, running in doubt, running in desperation, running in panic. But you will be running to me.
You will be running to me because everything else you have looked to for your strength, everything else that
you trusted in, everything you placed ahead of me will cease to be. For I will bring down and destroy all that
is not of me.... So you will be running to me for safety. You will be running to me for provision. You will be
running to me for healing. You will be running to me for protection. You will be running to me for there is
nowhere else to run and be saved.... Among you there are some who have run to me. Now they will run with
me. Running through the streets proclaiming my kingdom. Running to the highways and the byways to bring
in the last who will fill me banquet chamber. Running with me into the darkness to bring in the lost and
forgotten, the ignored and the abused. And among you there are a few who have walked with me, those who
have even ran with me. Now it is time for you to run before me. For I shall send you before me to run down
the enemy. To run down the wolves who kill my sheep. To run down all that stands against me. For I will
send you running ...running against kings and princes, against cities and strongholds. You will run before me
in my authority. You will run in my strength. You will run in my spirit. You will run in my name.
Now you have to wonder are these one at a time...or are all happening as you read this? I guess it all depends where
each of us are.... in which direction we are running? Now I got a couple ideas...but maybe it is time to wait and listen a
little more.

The 7 Thunders
Bob Neumann
For years I have listened for the Voice of my LORD and HIS MOST GENTLE and HOLY SPIRIT. I sought THE LORD for
often I discerned at best confusion, at worst deception in the ''words'' spoken by those who claimed to be preachers and
teachers of HIS WORD. Later there would be many who claimed ''revelation knowledge'' and spoke claiming the title of
prophet or apostle yet still I heard that ''still small VOICE'' whisper ''discern the spirits'' of their words and prophecies. To
judge their claim to ''RHEMA" by the LOGOS and so often they failed. One of the first 'conundrums' that arose shortly I
came to the KNOWLEDGE of GOD and 'called' upon HIS NAME for forgiveness and lordship in my life was a conflict
about the ''unsealing of the WORD''. Many articulate men and women spoke of Daniel as 'unsealed' and Revelations as
'revealed' and I had my first ''tastes'' of ''ESCATOLOGY". Later I found that the 'eschatology' section of the American
church was like a trip to Baskin-Robins. A flavor new for every month and every palate. Each prophecy teacher had a
personal interpretation uniquely his or her own. Then to make things interesting some of these same preachers and
teachers then taught on the different ''Mysteries of GOD". And their was no agreement across the board on most of these
so called 'mysteries'. So like any child caught up in ambiguity and conflict in the 'school' I sat in I ran home to find the
"TRUTH". Over the last 11 years that "TRUTH" has been spoken out of MY ABBA'S LIPS and I have walked with HIM
DAILY. HE SPOKE to me in pieces I could digest and understand. Too often we failed to agree with HIS ASSESSMENT
of my abilities, but that only showed I was twice wrong.
BUILDING UPON THE WORD

For 11 years ABBA has had me building HIS TOWER in my Spirit Man. It is a simple image really, yet I have met so few
who understand it. "Man" teaches that there is much hidden from man, and then states all is 'revealed'. This is conflict.
This is error most subtle. That which is 'hidden' from man is so because man did not 'seek' it out. Man 'failed' "to study
(the LOGOS) to show himself approved'' and therefore has failed to find 'approval' in ABBA'S EYES. Yes, this seems to
be a harsh 'word' on my part, but who truly seeks the "full Council of GOD'' today? So when I went to HIS FEET and
asked ABBA, "is it true that all has been revealed'', my answer came from Jeremiah 33:1-3:1 Moreover the word of the
LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2 Thus saith the
LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will
answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
If I ''seek'' THE LORD and 'call' on HIM I would be shown that which is not known by me. If I would keep coming to HIM
and HIM ALONE there would be nothing that would be hidden from me if I would just ''diligently seek HIM''.
It was at this time I was made aware of two specific realities that THE MOST HOLY SPITIT speaks to all men. The First
is in ''IMAGES'' and the Second is in "PATTERNS". Prime example of this is The Book of Revelations where IMAGES
abound and most of HIS CHILDREN walk away troubled and confused at the ''beasts, horns, seals, and bowls" that
abound there. Too many children fail to ''study diligently' and are eager to quit and run to listen to any man that will tell
them what to believe. Therefore they never will see the PATTERNS that these IMAGES lead to.
When I began to see all the Images fell into established and repeated Patterns ABBA began to show that al IMAGES
and PATTERNS all were in set SEQUENCES. Just like 1...2...3...and A...B...C..., and I was utterly amazed at the
simplicity of it all. Then I began to wonder why I had heard no ''man'' teach this in all the books, tapes, and videos I had
been induced to purchase over the years by ''men'' with ''mighty ministries''? ABBA'S answer was simple, that had come
to HIM to learn at HIS FEET but had had learned from other men.
So as ABBA began to teach me from HIS PATTERNS in HIS SEQUENCES I began to notice the sets of ''3's'', ''4's'', and
''7's'' all throughout the BIBLE. Not just the ''prophetic books'', but everywhere. This shook me to my core because I
slowly learned that all IMAGES spoke of ABBA'S Nature and Character in relation to man. Literally HIS WILL UPON
THIS EARTH. All PATERNS specifically to how HIS KINGDOM functioned while all SEQUENCES eventually led to "THE
DAY OF THE LORD'', which we are now entering. Now as back then I sit amazed at how simple it all is, and how deep.
How easy it is for man to speak ''of deep calling to deep'' when their lives are so shallow and lukewarm. Truly amazing.
Truly frightening.
ALL THE LOGOS LEADS TO THE SAME PLACE....THE DAY OF THE LORD
Jeremiah 33:4-5
4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses
of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 5 They come to fight with the
Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury,
and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. (KJV)
Each time I sat at ABBA'S FEET I would end my study with ''Judgment''. Simply because judgment is coming and
cannot be avoided. The RIGHTIOUS will be judged and will go to dwell in my ABBA'S HOUSE FOREVER! Is this bad?
Personally I look forward to this with all my heart. Yet those who refuse the LAMB and are not ''made righteous are quite
correct at being frightened and their denials of the possibility of their requiring to stand before HIS THRONE are vigorously
brought forth. It just does not change GOD in any way.
When I came to the point where I accepted HIS WORD on all this ABBA took me to a well known passage of scripture.
Ecclesiastes 3:1:
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: (KJV)
Once again we have a sequence that is most specific. There is a season, a time, and a purpose to everything ''under
heaven''. Here is where the fun began. It all starts with being aware that GOD has divided the universe into specific
seasons. In fact JESUS used the IMAGE of ''times and seasons'' to confront the Pharisees and to instruct HIS Disciples.
As a whole we like to talk about ''Times and Seasons'' in general terms that are usual non-specific. but seldom seldom
mention the ''Purpose'' part because we are not looking at ABBA'S AGENDA and PLAN...''under heaven''. Therefore we
fail to notice the changes of the seasons and that makes it impossible to recognize the ''appointed seasons''. So is it of
any surprise we have missed the ''set time'', our 'time of visitation'? Likewise making us completely ignorant to ABBA'S
''purposes'' today.
Ecclesiastes 3:9-11
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man
can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. (KJV)
Now this puzzled me, "so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.'' Yet
Solomon precedes it with ''He hath made every thing beautiful in his time''.? ABBA being ABBA showed me again that
man had yet to ask HIM all the questions that needed to be asked. For Solomon sought all WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE
that the WORLD offered and could not contain it and died bitterly. So I asked what I needed to please ABBA, ''to show
myself approved'' in HIS EYES. And once again I was shown the IMAGES of Seasons, Times, and Purpose. BUT this
time ABBA changed the sequence and things drastically changed. That is why I always seem to be out of sequence
when I speak of ''TIMES AND SEASONS''. Yet no one ever asked me the critical question that starts it all....PURPOSE.
THERE IS ALWAYS A PURPOSE

You may ask why I had to 'build' so much foundation before I come to ''THE POINT". Simple answer....children have short
attention spans. None of what I will now write is for children. And few who think of themselves as servants will readily
receive it either. Strange as it may seem, the only thing Jeremiah 33:3 specifically alludes to is an event in the Book of
Revelation. You see Daniel was merely sealed, and today all appear to agree that it is now ''open''. In fact all the LOGOS
is there for anyone to study and to receive the RHEMA THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT eagerly and gladly rewards to all who
diligently seek HIM.
The KEY to that ''which we know not of'' is that it is 'not written' in the BOOK. In fact if you look at John 21 we see that
there is a lot that was not written concerning JESUS and the 'works' HE did.
John 21:24-25
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his
testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I
suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. (KJV)
Yet in all the New TESTEMENT it was John who was specifically told not to write.
Revelation 10:1-7
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his
head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the
earth,
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their
voices.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the
earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be
time no longer:
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should
be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (KJV)
Here we have a most graphic IMAGE set in a most specific PATTERN. Of course there is a SEQUENCE that speaks of
a "PURPOSE UNDER HEAVEN". That ultimate ''PURPOSE" is that all that ABBA had declared to and through HIS
PROPHETS would be finished. Please try to understand the concept of "IT IS FINISHED"...accomplished... over and
done with....FINALLY!!!!!!! Prior to the Sounding of the SEVENTH TRUMPET JUDGEMENT the culmination of the
MINISTRY OF KING JESUS would occur. Something that only GOD and HIS SERVANTS the prophets had
KNOWLEDGE of. Or so it would seem.
Amos 3:7
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (KJV)
So there never really was any ''Mysteries'' that GOD had kept from HIS SERVANTS the PROPHETS. HE did tell them
what would take place. So there really was nothing ''hidden'' except what John was told not to write about. Yet in
Jeremiah 33 the offer was plainly laid out to any and all who chose to seek HIS FACE and to "Learn of HIM". again this is
nothing new for JESUS has invited us all to "COME UNTO ME''. All we are asked to do is to pick up HIS YOKE...and to
''learn of me''. It is all right there for HE IS THE WORD OF GOD. THE RHEMA AND THE LOGOS WHO OPENLY
DECLAIRED HIS PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH through HIS BELOVED FRIEND JOHN.
1 John 3:8
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of
God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (KJV)
SELAH... MARANATHA... HALLELUYAH
HERE A LITTLE....THERE A LITTLE...

So here I was over five years ago with a SEED of Revelation RHEMA planted deep within my spirit that came with
ABBA'S "PURPOSE'', and would take ''TIME" to grow and in it's "SEASON" bear fruit. And my purpose ''under heaven''
would be fulfilled. So to speak. All in all I am just a servant prepared and sent to deliver this ''message''.
To understand the 7 THUNDERS I had to study, to listen, and to learn. Everywhere that ABBA took me I learned not one
lesson but two for every WORD is a two edged SWORD.
As it pieced together over this time it followed ABBA'S plan of instruction.
Isaiah 28:9-14
9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and
there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
yet they would not hear.
13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line
upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared,
and taken.
14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. (KJV)
The WORD of THE LORD comes slowly together piece by piece as you study diligently where and when HIS MOST
HOLY SPIRIT leads. Not all who read this will understand for they have not sought the ''meat''.
Hebrews 5:9-14
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil. (KJV)
Many speak of the BRIDE and THE FIRE, THE PERFECTING AND THE PURIFICATION. But few see it as all pieces in
one great and glorious work that destroys all the works of the enemy. So to those with ears that hear and hearts that are
tender before THE LORD let me walk you through ''THE 7 THUNDERS'', and explain why this journey is necessary.
THE 7 THUNDERS
Revelation 10:1-2
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his
head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the
earth, (KJV)
Remember we build WORD upon WORD, line upon line. In verse one we have an image hard to ignore. Many will say it
is a ''giant angel'' not realizing their 'faux paux'. ''Giants'' are always demonic enemies of GOD while an ''angel'' is a
messenger of GOD. We can split hairs on the fact that demons/devils are ''fallen angels'' and that is all it is... splitting
hairs. THE WORD states a ''mighty'' ''messenger of GOD". And there is none mightier than THE WORD HIMSELF.
Revelation 1:12-16
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to
the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many
waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his
countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. (KJV)
Please notice the feet alone....
Daniel 10:5-6
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded
with fine gold of Uphaz:
6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of
fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a
multitude. (KJV)
Many might say this is just Gabriel who ''walks on the water''(?), but Daniel who spoke previously with Gabriel never says
it is.
Ezekiel 1:25-28
25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down
their wings.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a
sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above
upon it.
27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of
his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance
of fire, and it had brightness round about.
28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the
brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw
it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. (KJV)
Tie all these IMAGES together and you have but one answer.
Revelation 1:8
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which
is to come, the Almighty. (KJV)
Interesting turn of phrase, don't you think? Sound Familiar?
Revelation 4:8
8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest
not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. (KJV)
(So if you wish to debate the issue of who THUNDERS in Revelation 10 you missed it big time. Just walk away before
you are offended.)
FOR HE WHO OPENS THE SEALS THUNDERS AGAINST THE ABOMINATION OF HIS PEOPLE.
Now that is the WORD I received almost 5 years ago and have held to this ''appointed time''. The MIGHTY LION of the
TRIBE of JUDAH will roar and we shall ''hear'' ''THUNDERS''.
(To see this happen in the spirit is quite overwhelming and impossible to add to what John has written. All I have been
told to do is to explain terms and to point to scriptures. That is what I will do now.)
THUNDER
In the natural THUNDER is the by-product of released energy when two ''areas'' of pressure ''collide''. When this happens
we have a ''storm''.
For many years I and many prophets of GOD have warned of ''storms'' and a ''great shaking'' to befall the church in
America. In the Greek there is a term that appears in
Matthew 24:7-8:
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. (KJV)
that is translated as ''earthquakes''. ''Siesmos'' which is a general term for a cataclysmic event. It can be anything from an
earthquake to a hurricane to a stock market crash. An event that destroys the fabric of life. Simply stated many BAD
THINGS will happen all over the place...and it just begins ''the sorrows''.
In the Spiritual Realm we sense the coming of a ''great storm'', ''the big one'' and GOD'S people have had phenomenal
numbers of dreams and visions of tornadoes, tidal waves and all manor of calamities. The possibilities are staggering.
In the Natural as these two areas of pressure collide a storm cell or ''vortex'' is formed. From this ''vortex'' we can have
wind, rain, hail, and best of all tornadoes. The most sudden and destructive aspect of the physical/natural ''storm''.
In the SPIRITUAL REALM we have two areas exerting pressure and power in our lives. THE KINGDOM of GOD and the
Kingdom of Darkness.
In the natural the First Sign of a ''forming Storm'' are black clouds and/or darkness.
Isaiah 60:1-2
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise
upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (KJV)
In the SPIRITUAL the First Sign of THE PRESENCE OF GOD is the SHEKINAH of HIS GLORY.
Exodus 19:9
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I
speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. (KJV)
Now that is the WORD of GOD. SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD.
Exodus 19:16
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick
cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the
camp trembled. (KJV)
In the Natural the conflict in the heavenlies is evidenced by sudden discharges of pure energy. We call it ''lightening''.
In the SPIRIT GOD IS LIGHT and HIS FIRST WORDS were
Genesis 1:3-5
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the
first day.
Yet in the realm of the ''church'' where Natural/Spiritual should be one in the same there is a problem. LIGHT that
separates and defeats the darkness has little value for those who are 'spiritually blind'. It does little good to pour PEARLS
of GREAT VALUE before ''blind'' children who prefer to act more like swine rather than sheep. SELAH.
And THE WORD says that which was done hidden in darkness will be exposed in THE LIGHT. IN THE LIGHTNING OF
GOD it will now take place. In a sudden Heavenly Pyrotechnics Display that will shake the earth, the church, and the
heavens themselves.
Revelation 3:14-22
14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not
that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou
mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down
with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (KJV)
ABBA loves the world so much HE HAS ASKED HIS BELOVED SON to once more reach out to an apostate and self
righteous church by exposing their sins and awakening them to their predicament so that they might come to
repentance.
The LIGHTNING can not be seen by the ''spiritually blind. FOR THIS REASON HE THUNDERS. For you see the
LIGHTENING creates the ''CRASH'' which is simply an awesome generation of a ''wave of air'' we can hear. It is called
THUNDER. It is an ''explosive concussion'' that shakes houses, rattles dental work, and can literally knock planes out of
the air. It is a dramatic physical manifestation that even the ''blind'' and the ''deaf'' feel. as easily as one might see or
hear. Simply THE BREATH of GOD.
In the SPIRITUAL it simply means no one can ignore what will take place. PERIOD. SELAH.
That is, in simplest language, "THE 7 THUNDERS".
Revelation 4:5
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire
burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. (KJV)
Revelation 5:5-7
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. (KJV)
Revelation 6:14-17
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved
out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty
men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (KJV)
THE WRATH OF THE LAMB

This will truly be a terrible day for all the world. But we are not of this world so we "FEAR NOT". Yet before this occurs
the THUNDERS will be roared forth to separate the sheep and the goats. Even then the 'goats will not repent as the
WORD teaches us. But ABBA'S LOVE and MERCY, HIS JUSTICE requires that HIS PEOPLE be confronted with their
sin(s). They would not heed HIS warnings as spoken by the prophets. Nor do they listen today.
So why will the THUNDERS be different?
Amos 3:4-8
4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken
nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth,
and have taken nothing at all?
6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the
LORD hath not done it?
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? (KJV)
If you remember verse 7 was quoted earlier at the beginning of this journey. The church even quotes it on occasion
whenever it is useful, but seldom in context. Now THE LION of JUDAH is about to roar not once, but ''7'' times. The
number ''seven'' being both the number of ''PERFECTION'' and "COMPLETION". It is what will separate THE BRIDE from
the "TEN SLEEPING VIRGINS".
Seven times will GOD bring HIS CLEANSING FIRE/LIGHT into the ''deep darkness'' to expose the sin in the ''camp of HIS
PEOPLE". Seven times the earth will shake and the blind and deaf will wail in their terror as their ''hidden iniquities'' are
exposed.
THE FINAL PATTER OF SEVENS

"SEVEN THUNDERS OF SEVEN SINS'' sounds quite dramatic. It will be. You might ask how this will occur and I will
simply state I was not told to share that information. Hopefully ABBA will not ask me to.
What I have been told to do is to speak forth against the Sins within the camp. That has been the role of HIS SERVANTS
from the beginning. But it is also my responsibility to speak to the Children. Fear not. The END TIMES reeks of Gloom
and Doom from so many who listen little and speak much.
My MASTER STANDS with ONE FOOT upon the SEA, and ONE upon the LAND. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. IN
Revelation John writes that two BEASTS arise upon the WORLD STAGE. One from the sea and one from the earth. As
foreboding as they may seem the are firmly under HIS FEET! SELAH!
ONCE AGAIN the SEVEN THUNDERS signify the COMPLETNESS for the deceiver's hold upon the BRIDE, HIS BODY
is forever crushed and destroyed. PERFECTION then is established.
So now the "PURPOSE" of THE SEVEN THUNDERS is REVEALED. And it is found within the LOGOS twice. Providing
the TWO WINESSESS by which GOD'S JUDGMENT is established.
Proverbs 2:10-22
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. (KJV)
Proverbs 6:9-19
9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
10 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. (KJV)
Please again look at verse 15: Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
CALAMITY:
Isaiah 30:13
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking
cometh suddenly at an instant. (KJV)
For man does not want GOD'S Instruction. Because of this their end will become irrevocable:
Jeremiah 19:11-15
11 And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as
one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till
there be no place to bury.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as
Tophet:
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of
Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven,
and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
14 Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court
of the LORD'S house; and said to all the people,
15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns
all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not
hear my words. (KJV)
For this there is no forgiveness after this Final Warning:
2 Chronicles 36:14-18
14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of
the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending;
because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the
wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the
house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped
for age: he gave them all into his hand.
18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD,
and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon. (KJV)
THE ABOMINATIONS
1) The Prideful Arrogance of HIS FALSE/WICKED SERVANTS.
2)The Deceitful Words that pour out Doctrines of Men and Demons.
3) The Acceptance of the WORLD'S VIOLENCE and the SHEDDING of INNOCENT BLOOD on the ALTAR of SELF-
PLEASURE and CONVENIENCE.

4) Placing DEMONIC IMAGINATIONS in their HEARTS and calling it "MINISTRY UNTO THE LORD".
5)The DESIRE for INSTANT GRATIFICATION that Rationalizes 'SHORT-CUTS' of Expedience. WHERE THE ENDS
JUSTIFY THE MEANS. [USING HELL'S METHODS for GOD'S KINGDOM].
6)OPEN DISREGUARD AND CONTEMPT FOR THE TRUTH WHEN IT SERVES THEIR ''NEEDS'' AND THEIR
''GREEDS'' AT THE EXPENSE OF THE TRUTH.
7) PURPOSELY THWARTING THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT'S MOVE WITHIN THE BRETHERN TO BRING THE BODY OF
CHRIST INTO PERFECTION AND UNITY.
These are the SEVEN SINS that will be exposed by the LIGHTNING of HIS WORD, and those that revel in these
ABOMINATIONS will be exposed, shaken, broken and destroyed. FOR THE LAMB ALONE MAY JUDGE THE SHEEP
AND THE GOATS.
THE FIRST THUNDER WILL SHORTLY BE ROARED. AND A HUMBLING WILL OCCUR. THE BREAKING WILL BEGIN.
but will there be conviction and repentance.

The Seven Winds Of The Lord

Heriberto Gonzalez
In these last days, the Lord our God will blow through his Holy Spirit seven winds that will perfect his church, preparing
her for the great coming harvest, strengthening her to remain firm in the midst of the great tribulation, and getting her
ready for the second coming.
1.- WIND OF REPENTANCE

The Lord is calling each and every one of his sons and daughters in these final days to prepare to be used in the great
commission (Matthew 28:19-20). The coming harvest will be so abundant that only a great army of disciples around the
world will be able to gather it and sustain it. They will care for the Lord's new sheep, so that the fruit remains, and so the
deceiver does not snatch away the seed of the word.
However, many of God's people will act like Jonah did, fleeing from the Lord's call, closing themselves in their own
selfishness. Because of this, the Lord will blow a wind of "Repentance" (Jonah 1:4), that will bring difficult trials and
adverse circumstances into the lives of many believers. At first they will think that the devil is doing it, but God's Spirit will
break their cold and apathetic hearts, so that they can see that God himself put them into the belly of a big fish. The fruit
of this experience will be sincere, Spirit-led repentance.
2.- WIND OF LOVE AND MERCY

Even once God's people have learned the lesson that the wind of repentance brings to their lives, many of God's servants
will be working in their ministry mainly because of the difficult times that they experienced, in a legalistic and religious
spirit, instead of in love for God and for their neighbor.
Because of this, the Lord will send and blow a wind of love and mercy, even as He did in the life of Jonah (Jonah 4:8-11).
This wind will cause his people to stop working "for" the Lord, and start working "with" him. The love and mercy
manifested in their hearts of God's servants will make the difference.
3.- WIND OF FREEDOM

The hidden sins in the hearts of God's people will come to the light. The lord will blow a strong wind in his church,
revealing all iniquity and dead works among his people, and anything which blocks the full blessing that God has for his
sons and daughters. The Lord will blow a strong wind in the midst of sin's darkness, bringing freedom to his people. Yes,
this will be God's wind of Freedom (Exodus 14:21).
This wind will break bondages that keep God's people bound by satan, slaves of the flesh, and seduced by this world's
pleasures. God will part the Red sea and free his people from sin's bondage. The blood of Jesus will cover a multitude of
sins and wash the church of all wickedness (1 John 1:9).
4.- WIND OF SUBMISSION

And for those believers who conform to this world, and are apathetic, indifferent, and trust in their own strength, yes, for
those who think that they already have they desire, with a nice comfortable life, the Lord will again awaken his
"Euroclydon" wind (Acts 27:14), now called the "Wind of Submission."
This wind will beat so strongly against the boat of God's people, that the only way to continue will be to give up and allow
the wind to take them wherever it wishes (Acts 27:15). But the purpose of this wind will not be completed until, so that
their boat will not sink, God's people willingly throw overboard all the extra weight (Acts 27:19), which represents all
those things, whether physical or of the soul, that limit the growth of Christ's bride and hinder her process of
sanctification.
5.- WIND OF FAITH

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Before the miraculous and surprising can occur through God's people in the
coming days in such a way that has never before been seen an will not happen again before the Lord's return, they must
face God's wind of faith. It is amazing that in the scriptures, what really caused the fear in Peter's heart when he walked
on the water to go to Jesus, was not the rough waves, nor the darkness of the night, but rather the "strong wind"
(Matthew 14:30). This same wind that blew in the life of Peter to test and strengthen his faith, is being sent by the Lord
all around the world to bring to life in his bride the faith necessary to conquer in the evil days and be powerfully used in
the great harvest that is coming.
Although this wind will strongly shake God's people, it will also bring forth faith in their hearts, removing doubt and fear.
Jesus himself is interceding today before the Father's throne that the faith of his people not fail, even as He prayed for
Peter (Luke 22:32).
6.- WIND OF POWER

Once the previous winds of the Lord have fulfilled their purpose in the church, He will blow one more wind over his people,
Yes, the longed-for "Wind of Power" (Acts 2:2).
The prophetic word spoken through Moses and Joel will come true in all its fullness (Numbers 11:29 and Joel 2:28), and
all the Lord's servants will be filled with the Holy Spirit and will prophesy the "testimony of Jesus" to the whole world
(Revelation 19:10) accompanied by signs, wonders, and miracles. It is only during this time that the great harvest that
was prophesied will take place. Only a bride who is truly repentant, with a heart full of love and mercy for the lost, having
submitted to the Lord each and every area of her life, and with great faith in her heart, will be able to participate in this
great revival that is approaching, having been filled with the power of God.
7.- WIND OF JUDGEMENT AND RESCUE

In the same way that happened with the people of Israel, the Lord will blow his wind of judgement over the nations
(Numbers 11:31-34). This wind will be called "Kib'-roth-hat-ta'-a-vah," because the Lord will bury the world's lust with the
wind of his breath. His wind will wound the nations with terrible and destructive plagues, like never before seen since the
foundation of the earth. This will be during the great tribulation.
Then a pause will come in this great judgement. God himself, the Lord of the winds (Mark 4:41), will cause to cease,
through his four angels that stand at the four corners of the earth, the four winds of the earth, so that they no longer do
harm until all of God's servants have been sealed on the forehead (Rev. 7:1-3). Afterwards the Lord will send his angels
and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from the farthest corner of the earth to the farthest corner of
the heavens (Mark 13:27). Then the judgement will continue.
WORDS OF WARNING FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD
The wind of God is his own Holy Sprit. Allow him to blow in your life. Do not flee from his presence. Remember that you
form part of the bride for which Jesus is coming soon. A bride which He himself is making ready.
"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not;
for it was founded upon a rock." Mathew 7:25

The Anointing To Build

Reuven Doron
[This Article is taken from the Embrace Israel Newsletter]
When idolatrous Judah kindled the wrath of God to the point of severe judgment, He let their enemies
carry them into the Babylonian exile in three successive deportations. 2- Chronicles 36:15-17 records
the tragic verdict, saying, "And the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again
by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; but they
continually mocked the messengers of God, despised His words and scoffed at His prophets, until the
wrath of the LORD arose against His people, until there was no remedy."
Their cup of iniquities filled under the ungodly rule of young king Zedekiah, Judah was cut off from
God's blessing and shelter and was carried into captivity, while the land itself entered into the rest of
its neglected Sabbaths. Humbled and oppressed in their exile, the Hebrews once again longed for
freedom and national vindication, this time not from Egypt's scorching deserts but from the lush
Babylonian plains of Mesopotamia. In their shame and despair, their hope for restoration was never
the less firmly rooted in God's prophetic word as the time neared the fulfillment of Jeremiah's
prophecy.
And as the season arrived for the promised restitution of both nation and land, we find the
descendants of those exiled Jews returning to the Promised Land in three successive waves of
immigration, as was their deportation nearly seventy year prior. Zerubbabel led the first one, Ezra the
second nearly sixty years later, and Nehemiah the third, twenty years after that. Each man carried
unique anointing, grace, and skills to fulfill their assigned tasks.
God can work His miracles any way He chooses, and He does. But when it comes to Israel's national
restoration, His mercies and concern for the nations compel Him to invite them to join in His labors.
And, as the nations choose their position regarding God's purpose for the Jew, so they obtain, or
lose, favor with Him. When the seventy years of exile reached their completion and it was time for the
Jews to return to the land and rebuild the Temple, Cyrus the Persian was raised up to serve that
purpose.
Ezra wrote, "Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD by the
mouth of Jeremiah, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he sent a
proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and also put it in writing, saying, 'Thus says Cyrus king of
Persia, The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and He has
appointed me to build Him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of
all His people, may his God be with him! Let him go up to Jerusalem which is in Judah, and rebuild the
house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.
"'And every survivor, at whatever place he may live, let the men of that place support him with silver
and gold, with goods and cattle, together with a freewill offering for the house of God which is in
Jerusalem.' Then the heads of fathers' households of Judah and Benjamin and the priests and the
Levites arose, even everyone whose spirit God had stirred to go up and rebuild the house of the
LORD which is in Jerusalem.
"And all those about them encouraged them with articles of silver, with gold, with goods, with cattle,
and with valuables, aside from all that was given as a freewill offering. Also King Cyrus brought out the
articles of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and put
in the house of his gods; and Cyrus, king of Persia, had them brought out... and he counted them out
to Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah... All the articles of gold and silver numbered 5,400. Sheshbazzar
brought them all up with the exiles who went up from Babylon to Jerusalem." Ezra 1:1-11.
From this detailed account we find that Cyrus, the world ruler of that generation who symbolizes all the
human powers that would rule the nations, has not just issued the decree to release the captive Jews
to return to their promised land, but took decisive measures to secure the provisions needed for the
mission. He was not only sovereignly raised, but was also anointed by the Spirit of the Lord to serve
that purpose and to provide for the building of the House of the Lord in Jerusalem.
As Isaiah prophesied hundreds of years earlier, "Thus says the LORD to Cyrus His anointed, whom I
have taken by the right hand, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open
doors before him so that gates will not be shut... And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and
hidden wealth of secret places, in order that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who
calls you by your name. For the sake of Jacob My servant, and Israel my chosen one, I have also
called you by your name; I have given you a title of honor though you have not known Me... he will build
my city, and will let my exiles go free, without any payment or reward,' says the LORD of hosts." Isaiah
45:1-4, 13.
And indeed, following the sudden defeat of the Babylonian Empire on that fateful night when Daniel
interpreted the mysterious handwriting on the wall, Cyrus issued a decree in 538 BC permitting the
exiled Judeans to return to their land, and ordering the residents of his domain to support these
returning Jews. He was not simply acting politically in pursuit of a worldly agenda, but gave clear and
bold testimony to the fact that the God of Heaven appointed him to this mission. This was a divine
assignment, Cyrus knew it, and he made it known to all!
Today, God is cultivating the same grace in the hearts of many of His servants all over the world. The
anointing that was upon Cyrus, a Gentile ruler, to release the Jews and support their task to build the
House of the Lord in Jerusalem is reappearing in the church today. Some of you who may be reading
these words for the first time, or hearing them anew, are stirred by God's Spirit as did Cyrus of old to
supply for and sustain God's move of restoration concerning His House in Jerusalem. Others are
already engaged in sacrificial and strategic giving toward that prophetic restoration, and you we bless
and commend in the name of the Lord Jesus. For information as to how you can give wisely and
responsibly toward the support of the saints in Israel, please contact our office in the USA.
As the foundations and walls of the Temple in Jerusalem were being raised under the leading of
Zerubbabel and the elders, opposition arose as well. Ezra recounts in chapters four and five how local
and international forces sought to compromise, frustrate, and stop the work of the Temple. Facing
physical intimidation, deep discouragement, and fierce legal battles, the builders ceased from
building for fourteen years. Then Darius the First responded to their appeal, conducted an honest
search in the royal archives, discovered Cyrus' original decree, and resumed construction on the
Temple.
In fact, not only did king Darius vindicate the builders and reinitiated the construction of God's House
in Jerusalem, he also commanded that their enemies in the region (led by the corrupt and hostile
officials) cover the construction costs from their treasuries. In his letter king Darius wrote, "In the first
year of King Cyrus, Cyrus the king issued a decree: 'Concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, let
the temple, the place where sacrifices are offered, be rebuilt and let its foundations be retained... and
let the cost be paid from the royal treasury.
"'And also let the gold and silver utensils of the temple of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the
temple in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be returned and brought to their places in the temple in
Jerusalem... Now therefore, Tatiana, governor of the province beyond the River... and your colleagues,
the officials... keep away from there. Leave this work on the house of God alone; let the governor of
the Jews and the elders of the Jews rebuild this house of God on its site."
And, as if to add insult to injury, Darius wrote, "Moreover, I issue a decree concerning what you are to
do for these elders of Judah in the rebuilding of this house of God: the full cost is to be paid to these
people from the royal treasury out of the taxes of the provinces beyond the River, and that without
delay. And whatever is needed, both young bulls, rams, and lambs for a burnt offering to the God of
heaven, and wheat, salt, wine, and anointing oil, as the priests in Jerusalem request, it is to be given
to them daily without fail, that they may offer acceptable sacrifices to the God of heaven and pray for
the life of the king and his sons." Ezra 6:3-10
The last sentence reveals it all. The bottom line for king Darius was not merely adherence to Cyrus'
previous decree, or even obedience to God's commandment. These in place, He was also motivated
by a clear revelation that he is obtaining favor with the One True God who dwells in Jerusalem. Thus
he concluded his history-making edict by reminding the builders of God's House in Jerusalem to offer
acceptable sacrifices to the God of Heaven on his behalf, and pray for his own life and family.
This also is the bottom line for many of God's servants today. Upholding and supporting the Lord's
move in Israel, which is the emerging House of God, His dwelling place among His people, is not only
a matter of historical justice or even technical obedience to God's word. It is also an expression of a
personal faith-recognition that there is a rich blessing and a lasting benefit to those who take a clear
stand and action toward the returning Jew.
And so we, too, add our blessing to your faith, thanking God for your sacrifice and generosity toward
the building of the House of the Lord in Israel. By God's own wisdom He determined that Israel be led
toward her inevitable encounter with her Messiah leaning on Gentile hands. The ancient debt of love
will be paid back at the closing of this age, and as Israel gave birth to the church in the first century, so
the church will now give birth to Israel in the last.
Thank you for joining us in these labors. God knows the cry of your heart and will repay you richly. We
pray for His Spirit to rest upon your life, your mind, and body, refreshing, comforting, and strengthening
you for tomorrow's tasks. Thank you for holding up our household in daily prayer. We are back in the
West for the Holidays, and will return to Israel early next year. This was a very stretching and testing
year with much transition and change, and often we sensed that the prayers of the saints carried up
through the fires and waters. Thank you.
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, WE BLESS YOU.

An American Tragedy
JoAnn Glasco
The American people are in a stupor

as rapid-firing judgments have caught them off guard
they are forced to look at what is really happening in their own backyard.
When will we be able to tell if these events and assignments are coming to us
from hell or from an angry God who is tired of the rancorous smell?
The poured out wrath is being felt and witnessed as it crosses every man's
path.
The time has come when we can anticipate

the arrival of the foretold judgments
that we had all hoped would be arriving at a later date.
Do we think that long ago God did not notice?

For the citizens began to forsake prayer and the Ten Commandments
They have begun acting dazed as those who devoured the white lotus
The blood of live fetuses and murdered children cries out from the ground.
Much innocent blood has and is being shed
Many souls have been lost and never found;
Unnatural affection and abuse

have placed the necks of many families in a noose.
Our moral fiber is broken
Godly principles and Christ's example are only
acknowledged with a mere token
As a nation, we have turned our back on God

and we will learn to recognize and feel
the yoke of captivity and bondage of Pharaoh's jack-booted heel.
The U. S. Military basically has outdated weapons

even though we have current updated technology.
They will slide into a black hole of effigy;
Cataclysmic events will send out shock waves

and create an environment with such things that make no sense.
Modern man will soon learn that the high tech military is not the answer.
A better and more sure way could be found
if we had only inquired of the Lord on how to
fight our enemies on the ground.
The Biblical prophesy of wars and rumors of war is now in play

As our God moves our universe into the last of the last days.
The spirit of Nebuchadnezzar has spilled over from nation to nation
Fear moves into panic as man comes to the realization
that evil men have been elected and appointed
to be used as designated judgment rods

to punish idolatry and sin by Jehovah God.
Yes, the American people have lost their inheritance

The current crimes against society and God are without recompense;
The hedge around this country is down.
Don't frown -- Just prepare and get ready for the countdown.
Oh, America, open your eyes!

As we have advanced we are becoming less wise
As we prosper and boom
We are falling morally to our doom.
The people would rather believe a lie
than know the truth so they could live and not die.
We are like rabbits caught in a snare

The tree is sprung while we sit quietly and stare
Afraid to move, not knowing when or where
The fear and suddenness have stunned us and we sit
silently, hoping the events can't be true
After all, the polls say that we've never been better off,
and we still don't have a clue.
I asked, oh, Lord,

What about those who hear and love your Word?
Will they be able to stand
as the winds of judgment blow and the vials are
poured out upon the land?
The Lord would say unto us this day

My sheep know my voice
I am calling now for all of My people
to flee worldly contamination
to live lives of holiness and sanctification.

A Supernatural Binding
Monika Nel
[Editors Note: This account clearly shows a fulfillment of the following scripture; a sign of true revival!
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is
given unto us. (Romans 5:5)]
A small group (10 of our team of 200), went on a local outreach to a small town in South Africa, called Lichtenburg. Most
of us have ministered at various churches (locally and internationally) before, but this weekend God poured out such an
ANOINTING of LOVE (agapé) amidst our ministry team, that we all stood amazed. This is not just caring for each other.
This is a supernatural binding of love that we have never experienced before. It had nothing to do with us. It happened
suddenly and sovereignly. Can't really put it in words yet. Somehow, we felt so 'one with each other' and loved each other
so deeply, that it was hard to part in the evening to go and stay over at our respective hosts. We longed to be in each
other's presence so much, that our hearts would ache for each other. God is pouring out His agape love (the same love
He has for the Son) into our hearts. This is awesome and new! It has to do with a heavenly weaving together of God's
family upon this earth. Well, thought this may bless you? No need to tell you that we had major spiritual break-throughs
in Lichtenburg this weekend. God visited that town, and it will never be the same again. God is awesome!

A Clear River
by Greg Austin
June 18, 1997
The last two nights, while ministering at Evergreen Christian Center, the Spirit has given me a powerful vision. The vision
may be understood in the context of a "transitional" point between present renewal and greater revival. Many of us have
recognized that the church has been experiencing a time of "positioning" preparatory to further changes. The Lord seems
to be accelerating this positioning, and many leaders have been "ripped" out of their comfort zones and are being placed
in more challenging areas and dimensions of ministry. The vision the Lord gave me follows.
The Lord showed me a crystal clear river, so clear and translucent that I could only see that it was a river by its banks
and by the reflection of light off the surface of the water. The water itself was purer and clearer than any water I've ever
seen. Words do not aptly describe the clarity of the water I saw.
As I watched, I saw a large number of people standing along the banks of the river. The people would dip their hands into
the river, bringing handfuls of water up with which they would splash their faces, cooling and refreshing themselves.
Others put their hands in the water and played about, splashing and enjoying themselves.
The currents, and the waters, however, were flowing, moving continually downstream. The waters were not stagnant, not
static, but flowing rapidly. The Spirit then said to me, "Notice that the water is flowing; it does not stand still. This is a
picture of current renewal. It is not static. It is ever changing. What I am about to do will be different from what I have
done. The thing I am about to do will not look like what you have seen. You understand renewal by what you have seen,
by what you have heard and by what you have felt. You recognize renewal by the context of your past experience with
renewal. I will do a new thing, and the thing I do will not look like, sound like or feel like what you have known. Therefore
you cannot understand my new work by what you have known, by your mind or by your experience."
"You must enter into close, intimate fellowship with My Spirit so that when I speak softly, you will hear clearly. If I move
My church into a new dimension which does not look like anything you've seen before, you must discern My voice and
follow. Do not look to "Renewal Churches" or "Renewal Leaders" for direction, for some of these even will not hear My
voice. They will continue to perform renewal, but will be void of My Spirit, even as Samson knew not that I had left him.
Many will think that they will "arise as at other times," but will possess only the "form" of renewal, and will not
experience any longer the power and potency of true renewal. The mind, the intellect, the creativity of man is too weak
and too inadequate to know the mind of the Lord. Your spirit must be in tune and in touch with My Spirit. If you will draw
near, you will not be misled, neither will you misstep for I will lead you clearly."
"When I do this new thing, many will miss what I am doing, because they will judge it by their past experience in
renewal. Many will criticize those who have heard My voice. Many will misunderstand you and judge you according to
their fleshly knowledge of renewal and revival. Hear My voice. Know My voice. Do not lean on your own understanding,
neither give place to the flesh, which would counsel you wrongly. I am the Lord, I change not. My plans for you are from
the foundation of the world, yet I will show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. Therefore, know Me.
Stay close to Me. Hold on to Me. I will guide you, My Spirit will lead you into all truth, My Word will bear you up. Times
of great change are dawning. Many will be frightened. Many will assume that renewal has ended, that My Spirit has been
lifted away, yet in the midst of this confusion, I will demonstrate my power and glory and mercy in a depth you have never
understood nor seen it. Hear My voice, my people. Know my voice."
"If you are standing beside the waters of My Spirit, refreshing yourselves in the coolness, I counsel you to let yourself fall
completely in the river. If you are playing in the wonder of this visitation, I counsel you to fall in completely. The waters do
not tarry, they do not wait. The waters are moving. Move with the water; be immersed, be inundated, let the waters cover
you and carry you and lift you up. Do not fear, do not be dismayed. You are about to see the beauty of My glory which
you have only longed for but have not seen. You are near to the place where you will hear the sweetness of My voice as
you have never heard it. Draw near, remain close and you will see the salvation of the Lord."

A Door Of Blessing
Mike McClung
Because you have not despised the chastening of the Lord, and because you have not tried to keep things covered that I
have exposed, and because of you willingness to humble yourself before Me and one another, I am about to open a door
of blessing and a flow of My presence and anointing that will astound even the most experienced among you.
I say to you, keep seeking Me, keep forgiving one another, keep walking in repentance, and above all keep fervent in the
choice to love Me supremely, one another, and the whole Body of Christ.
My glory is coming quickly and in this day and this hour I impart a fresh anointing to sustain, refresh, and enable you to
fulfill all of My will and heart!
Grace & peace,

Vision of the Dove

Mary Clark
May 16, 1998
May 14, 1998

I saw a square box. It had a grate on top. The grate was removed. I looked down inside and there was a white bird. The
bird was looking down toward the back of the crate into a blackness.
May 15, 1998

Yesterday, the Lord showed me a glowing (pulsating), gold ball of light. Inside the light was an upside down dove. I
believe these two visions are related. The bird in the first one must have been a dove, also.
Father will you explain these visions to me?
I am responsible for these visions, my daughter. I wish to relay a message to you for the church at large. Listen to these
words and signify your belief in these words being spoken by your God, by delivering them to interested parties. The
church is now entering into a renewal...a truly beautiful renewal. My wish is for those who are interested in seeing a
TRUE....an HONEST work of the Lord God Almighty to draw close...draw close to Me. See My magnificent hand move
across this earth. The timing is down to the smallest second. I have erased any hindrances to this work with My "mighty
eraser". I am placing in the heart of those, who will accept, a mighty centrifugal force of My Spirit, to enable them to soar
with Me in the vicinity of My will to the place of refuge that they seek. The timing is right. The time is CORRECT! Now I
am letting the dove out of the cage. It is descending on willing hearts where it will rest in peace and love. Be refreshed by
this glorious happening. Be refreshed by the lovely will of your Father coming forth to enable you to soar and be in the
place of loveliness that I am giving to you...giving to you willingly....sooooo willingly. This IS MY WILL! This is My loving
will for My children. Now, listen to these words. I have a secret to tell to My beloved church. It is a secret that will thrill
your heart. The time has come. The Spirit is descending and I am placing a stronger anointing on My church than it has
ever realized. Many of your have had an appetizer. Many of you have had the entree. Now you are about to have more
than a portion. You are about to have the anointing of the Father in a full ten course meal. Expand your belts! Open your
hearts wide! The abundance is arriving post haste and it is going to be grand. This abundance is going to open doors you
never dreamed would be opened. This abundance is going to advance My kingdom....it is going to take you further into
the realm of the Spirit of your risen Savior than you ever dreamed possible. Listen to the word of the Lord. Listen and
rejoice.
A mighty work HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED by the hand of your mighty King. Realizing this, I would like for you to
watch and wait with much anticipation. Listen for the sweet breath of My Spirit and know that the heavenly ONE is about
to bring forth a desire of His heart for His church. A desire that I have had and expounded on as I have worked the plans
on My drawing board. These are finely etched plans. These plans are plans that one would enjoy looking at and feel ,as
they looked, the heart beat of their Father, in the skillful and masterful drawings. These drawings are truly a "MASTER'S
PIECE".... YOUR "Master's Piece", of a fine work that He has accomplished for His children to walk in and enjoy. Enjoy
this, you will , My children! You have looked with amusement on the things the world would use to entice. You have
shaken your head and turned the other way.
Now that you are turned MY way, you are about to see what I have to offer. You are going to LOVE My offering. This
offering is what every heart truly yearns for. This is the offering of all times...a truly great and beneficial offering. Watch for
it to appear soon. Watch and wait with much anticipation...for the hand of your Lord has kept this in reserve for such a
time as this... such a glorious time as this!!!

Afghanistan
Erich Reber
Afghanistan: preparations for a one-time openness

"God does nothing before telling his servants, the prophets," says Amos chapter 3. Erich Reber, a prophetically gifted
Swiss, recently saw a 'vision': "Trucks filled mainly with young men drove through mountainous country to Afghanistan.
The sides of the trucks could be opened, and when they arrived, the youths jumped out to take the villages for Jesus.
It was like the invasion of Brittany during World War 2. It will be like a spiritual lightning strike; the opportunity and
openness will last only for a short time. Healings will play an important role in this movement, which will spread like
wildfire. It will not start in Kabul, the capital, but in small villages."
Reber understands this as a call to Christians all over the world to prepare for a short evangelistic opening in Afghanistan.
"Christians," he says, "should be ready, so that they do not miss this historic opportunity. Now is the time for
mobilisation, and Christians would be well advised to send observers in now."

Eating Of A Fruit Of The Tree Of Life

Wayne Barto & Paula Cavu
EATING OF A FRUIT OF THE TREE OF LIFE IMPARTED DIVINE HEALING ANOINTING IN THE TIME WHEN A
HEALING MOVE OF GOD IS GOING FORTH INTO THE CHURCHES OF THE NATIONS. Dream by Wayne Barto in
Feb. 1998. Interpretation by Paula M. Cavu. Taken from the Dreams and Visions List No.128.
Hi Paula, I am forwarding a dream that I had about 3 months ago and finally got around to typing up.
Circumstances: The friend in this dream was someone that I had just met and roomed with at a large conference on
healing held at Mike Bickle's church. He had not been exposed to the current renewal and outpouring of the Holy Spirit in
a large way prior to this conference and he was majorly impacted at the conference and even received a physical healing
in his body! He is on the pastoral staff at a Presbyterian church in our city and has been used mightily since the
conference to usher in a move of the Holy Spirit in his congregation some of which has resulted in several miraculous
healings. I also feel that there is a definite prophetic anointing on this man.
The dream: My friend and I were both sitting in a fairly large classroom or lecture hall in desks that were right next to
each other in parallel rows. There were a number of these parallel rows of desks perhaps five or six in the lecture hall.
Each parallel row of desks was actually comprised of two rows with the desks side by side - this is how we were seated
- next to each other. The class was being taught by an elderly woman who was rather slender and tall with graying
straight hair that was pulled back behind her head into a bun or ponytail. She was very serious about her instruction to us
and was apparently very good as we were taking notes quite busily as she taught.
She then took a break in the instruction and came over to our two rows of desks. She held out her hand and in it was a
large fruit of some sort. It appeared to be "like" an apple but it clearly wasn't. She asked if anyone knew what it was.
Someone in one of the desks behind us made a "wise crack" and a few giggled. The instructor just looked very seriously
at the person who made the comment and didn't say a word. Nobody was able to answer her question as to what the fruit
was.
She then proceeded to put the fruit on a plate and take out a knife and slice the fruit into many pieces. Each piece was
almost identical in size and the pieces were all "still in place" - in other words the whole fruit was still its same size in
that the pieces were assembled as the whole fruit. The instructor passed the plate with the fruit down the row on my right
(this is the row in which my friend was sitting) and as it went down the row the students were eagerly grabbing the fruit
pieces from the whole. The students in the row where I was sitting were reaching across and grabbing the fruit pieces or
they were being handed to them by the people in that row.
Since we were about 5 seats back from the front we were beginning to get concerned that the fruit would be all gone
before it got to us. and as soon as I did I woke up before I could taste it! When my friend got the plate there was still
about half of it left and he grabbed a few pieces and also handed a few to me so I didn't get passed by. We each took the
fruit and put it in our mouth
When I awoke, it seemed as if I was immediately reminded of the scene in Rick Joyner's book "The Final Quest" where
Rick (in his vision) had taken fruit from the Tree of Life and had eaten of it. Any interpretations would be appreciated.
Blessings,
Wayne
Interpretation by Paula M. Cavu:
Greetings Wayne Barto:
The dream came to you not long after the conference at Mike Bickle's church where you met your friend. In this case the
dream was revealing to you that a special impartation (fruit) had been given to many, which included your friend and you,
from the conference.
On awakening you identified this fruit as from the Tree of Life. This is supported from the dream in which you said that the
fruit was like an apple and there has been some poetic reference to the fruit of the Tree of Life within Christendom as
being an apple. This particular fruit/gift impartation appears to do with divine healing as your friend ushered this into his
church. This means that you, along with all those who ate of it, also have received of this gift of divine healing.

Hawaii is experiencing a time of going to the places where human sacrifices were made and the Christians along with
native Hawaiians are going to ask God's forgiveness and pray over those sights as God leads.
Please stand in prayer for these intercessors as they go out on March 12-16 in teams to cleanse the land.
Those in charge are believing that the Pacific Rim nations will share in the overflow of the blessings that are coming.
There will then be teams going out to share the gospel and we are all believing for a great outpouring of revival in these

A Great Wave
Valerie Mill
The Lord has been showing me a great wave with the force of a tidal wave coming into the churches.
This wave will remove all that is not His.
Ministries that are not His will be washed away.

He is saying,
"I am cleaning my house.

I want a place of habitation.
A place where my presence can dwell.
I am calling my prophets forth.

I will give direction.
This wave is not to be feared by my people.
Turn to me. Give me your hearts.
All that remains standing will be pure.

This has to be to prepare you for what is ahead.
I'm calling my church to stand together.
The money system as you know it will cease.
I am taking back what is mine.
You must rest in me.
You must trust in me.
I am the only way."
The Lord is showing me that October is a key month in seeking His face and His will. Fast and Pray.
Gods Peace and Mercy be with you all,
Valerie Mill

The Dial of Ahaz

Bill Somers
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken:
shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees? 2 Kings 20:9
Question:
What is the significance of having the shadow go back 10 degrees on the dial of Ahaz?
Simple answer: Hezekiah is looking for a sign, a miracle. Having the shadow go forward or down 10 degrees wouldn't be
a miracle. It would be natural. Having it go back would be a miracle!
But still, what is the Spiritual Significance of having it go back 10 degrees.
If you read carefully in II Kings you'll find that it says it went back 10 degrees from which it had gone down.
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it
had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. 2 Kings 20:11
Now the shadow on a sundial goes up for a while and then it begins to go down. This tracks the activity of the sun. First
it comes up and then it begins to go down. OK When exactly does it begin to go down? When it passes high noon!
Obvious?
So Hezekiah's sign is that the shadow goes back to high noon. So the sun goes back to high noon. At that point,
directly overhead, the shadow disappears!
So putting on our spiritual ears to hear with we see that the sign speaks of a restoration of the light. Since Jesus Christ
is the Light, and the light is at it maximum or its fullness at high noon, what does this mean? It means the fullness of the
Revelation of Jesus Christ, in whom there is no shadow [of turning.]! Does that idea have any impact on you?
Also consider this. 10 is the number of the Law. That is, the word of God. Now we know Jesus is the Word of God, So
this mention of 10 degrees speaks of restoring the rule of God's Law. Or it speaks of Revealing the Word as Contained in
the Law. In the book of Revelation we see God reveals himself. No man is worthy but Jesus is shown opening the scroll
which represents the Word of God. So we see that Jesus reveals Himself, the Word of God. That's The Revelation of
Jesus Christ.
Next, what is this sign a sign of? What is the purpose of having this sign, what does it point to?
It is a sign that the Lord will do the thing that he has spoken. I. E. fulfill his word.
Well Old King Hezekiah asked for a sign that he would be healed. The prophet Isaiah could have said something cute
like "You'll feel better when the pain goes away!" But instead He asked the King to make a choice. Should the shadow
go down or back up? It would have been enough of a sign to have the pain go away and feel better. But the rest of the
story is the second part of the Kings question. What shall be the sign that I'll be healed and Go up into the House of the
Lord on the Third day.?
What does the healing mean?
And more importantly what does going up to the House of the Lord mean?,
And what does on the third day mean?
The answers are interrelated and hard to separate. The healing and the third day are mentioned in Hosea 6.
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will
bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he
shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:1-3
The latter rain is what brings the harvest!
Here Hosea speaks of healing and revival. And it all happens on the third day. The Harvest comes on the Third Day.
The Third Day is the Millenium.
It is a common mistake to assume that the millenium begins after Jesus returns and brings peace.. It begins just before.
One parallel to the millenium in scripture is the reign of King Solomon. His kingdom was established during a time of Civil
War in Israel, peace came later. Likewise Jesus' Kingdom is going to be established during a time of Civil War in the
Church, and peace will come at his return. In 2 Kings 11 read the story of queen Athaliah. a clear type of Satan. She
ruled the land for 6 years and in the 7th year the true heir was crowned king in the temple while she still ruled in the city
outside. Then she was overthrown. The seventh year speaks of the Millenium. Likewise Jesus will build and occupy his
temple at the beginning of the millenium and then return physically to overthrow Satan. See The Third Day in Prophecy
House of the Lord is His Church.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in
the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of
the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go
forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:2-3
In this case Isaiah is saying the temple or church will be built in the last days.
The House is not yet built.
Next realize that the House is not yet built. But the Lord will give us a sign that we can go up on the third day. And that’s
because He will build it at that time.
There is a certain sense in which it is impossible to go up to the House of the Lord. That is you can't go there till the
place gets built. Just as we cannot say we rejoice in the unity of the brethren. There is no unity of the brethren. Not
today, not yet.
In the figurative terms God uses in the bible, the unity of the brethren, the church is the same as the assembling of the
Body of Christ and the same as the building of the temple. All the many, many passages that talk about building the
tabernacle or the temple are speaking about the Church.
Now the church is not in unity because it's members are not in submission to the Lordship of Jesus. Speaking of the
Body, we can say that the members are not rightly connected, not in their proper place and not holding fast to the head.
So the parts of the body do not respond instantly to the commands that come from the head. Speaking of the temple, we
can say it is not yet built because the foundation is not yet laid. The foundation is the Lordship of Jesus who is the head
stone. The head of many living stones. The temple is not built because the son of man has not a place where to lay his
head, the head stone.
But God gave Hezekiah a sign that he would do what he promised.
The meaning of that sign points to a sign that God will give us in these later days.
And that is The Revelation of Jesus Christ!
The sign is a sign that God will confirm his Covenant. That he will do what he said he would do.
This sign that God will fulfill his word, the prophetic scriptures is connected with the healing and the restoration of the
church. This happens on the third day. This must take place during the millenium. After two days he will heal us, on the
third day he will raise us up.
Hezekiah's illness parallels the tearing and the smiting of Hosea 6:1-3.
It is the judgment on the church that comes first. Then we will have redemption and restoration. This is the healing.
The Illness Hezekiah comes right after the Assyrian invasion of Judah and siege of Jerusalem. When the Lord hears
Judah's cries for help and comes and devastates the Assyrian host. This is also an allegory of the judgment and
redemption process. The Assyrian Host is like the Hordes of Hell!
" … When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19
An almost parallel passage is found in Matthew 16, here the Rock is Jesus the Headstone of the Church.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of
hell shall not prevail against it. Matt 16:18
The judgment and redemption process is a common theme all through the book of Isaiah. You can find it beginning with
Isaiah 1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. And it is especially in Chap 28 &
29. See Lessons from The Duck Yard
Is it any wonder that He begins Chapter 40 with the words Comfort Ye My People? And end it with the famous passage
- But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they
shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31! This is what it means to be healed and
to be able to go up unto the house of the Lord.
Surely this is a description of the Church Redeemed and flowing in Full Revival!
To sum up what we've said so far, the Revelation of Jesus Christ will be a sign that God is about to Build his temple and
bring in the great end time harvest of souls.
So now what is the sign of the Revelation of Jesus Christ? Or what are the signs? How will we know that this is
happening?
Look back in the book of Revelation. We said that Jesus opening the scroll is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. What
happens after each seal is broken, one by one? Great Judgments come forth.
Look in Psalm 9
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
…. Ps 9:16
It says the Lord is known by the judgments. That is one of the ways He reveals Himself, through judgments. And these
judgments are redemptive. They will bring the Latter Rain, and The Great Harvest. Isaiah 29 says:
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy
judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Isaiah 26:9
So God's Judgments in the Earth are a sign of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. And a sign He is confirming His Covenant
and fulfilling scriptures. A sign that He is about to keep his promises.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for
your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:28

Alabaster Box
Jim Rinker
Matthew 26:6-12 "Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman
having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at meat]. But when his disciples
saw [it], they had indignation, saying, To what purpose [is] this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much,
and given to the poor. When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought
a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. For in that she hath poured this
ointment on my body, she did [it] for my burial".
The oil contained within the alabaster box represents the totality of our desires. In this hour, no oil can be wasted but
rather all must be poured out unto the Lord as a display of extravagant love towards Him. His exhortation to us is that our
boxes have become "leaky" and thus we do not have "full" boxes of oil to pour onto Him. Some has leaked out for our job
while others to our hobbies and worldly desires. We have been taking some of the oil and pouring it onto our other
"lovers".
Give Me your boxes, Give Me your boxes says the Lord for I will mend them that they no longer leak any of this costly oil
which is a sweet savor to Me. Come one, come all and I will heal your boxes that you may have a full box of oil to pour
out to Me. Oh how I long to be the object of your desire just as you long to be the object of My desire. Let us run
together as lovers and in that place you WILL be made whole, complete, and prepared for Me. In that place I will become
the sole object of your desires. In that place we will walk in union as both lover and best friend for all eternity. Rise up My
love and come away with Me!

Alas Poor Ahab

by Bill Somers
September 13, 1998

I usually go out each morning to pick up a newspaper and coffee. This morning's headline told of continued defiance on
the part of the White House. As soon as I saw it, I began to tremble in my spirit. I was reminded of another case where a
ruler had expressed some remorse, but did make a true or lasting repentance.
The story of King Ahab and all that went on during his reign takes up quite a few chapters in the bible. More space is
devoted to him, because of end time significance, than to any of the other kings that followed after the death of Solomon.
One thing often overlooked is that the Lord spent a great deal of time and effort in dealing with Ahab. At one point, Ahab
is even brought to humble himself in repentance!
I Kings 21:
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee:
because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, …."
Here the prophet Elijah has brought a word of judgment against Ahab and his kingdom.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his
flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not
bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.1 Kings 21: 20 -29
And here we see that the Lord has delayed the judgment somewhat because of Ahab's humbling himself. Note that the
scripture does not say that he repented or that he called upon the Lord for mercy. In fact he went right back to his old
ways shortly thereafter. Because of this the Lord brought personal judgment on Ahab and when he was out of the way
brought further judgment on Israel.
1 Kings 22:
1 And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
Here Ahab is about to go to war against Syria, whom the Lord has allowed him to beat in the past. But this time it is to
be his undoing.
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall
I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall deliver it into
the hand of the king.
7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
The reason Jehoshaphat has to ask twice for a word from a prophet of the Lord, is that Ahab is calling on his prophets,
the prophets of Baal. So now we hear from a true prophet, Micaiah.
14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle,
or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the
king.
16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is
true in the name of the LORD?
Here Ahab rebukes Micaiah even though he has spoken exactly what the others have said! And then Micaiah drops the
sarcasm and tells what is really about to happen.
17 And he said, upon the hills, I saw all Israel scattered as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD
said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good
concerning me, but evil?
19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the
host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20. And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? …. "
That is the Lord has set up king Ahab to take a fall when he foolishly goes to war against Syria. And then to bring chaos
and confusion to Israel afterward, for it says I saw all Israel scattered …."
Our Syria may well be Iraq. A recent news item stated that the United States has informed it's major allies that it will
expect their support in case it decides to launch an attack against Iraq this coming October.

Stay Alert. Be Sober. I'm Coming!

Steve Hill April 1998
Recently, the Lord spoke these words to my spirit: "Live unsettled. Don't sink too deep into the soil of this earth. Keep
your head up and your feet moving. Stay alert. Be sober. I'm coming! "The day of My return is at hand. Loose yourself of
any ties that bind. Prepare the way in your heart, and then help prepare the way in others. I want no obstacles. I will have
no obstructions. I will return for a 'Pilgrim People.' "My church has been begging My return. My bride has been longing to
be with Me. The plan of the ages has almost reached fruition. The tree has born forth its fruit. The fertile soil has yielded
the harvest. The planting will stop, the laborers will leave, the sickle will rust. It's almost over. I'm coming back. I will not
delay My coming to you, so don't delay your coming to Me."
Friend, I believe we are about to see the Return of our Lord and Savior. Soon He'll descend from heaven for a spotless
Bride. He's coming back suddenly! And when He comes, we must be ready. There will be no time to wash up...
"Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the
marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready." And it was given to her to clothe herself in fine
linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. (Rev 19:6-8)
For those of you who have experienced a wedding proposal, I'm sure the details are still vividly engraved in your mind.
Those of my proposal to Jeri certainly are even to the timely, "moo" of the cow in the pasture behind us as she replied,
"How could I say no?" (By the way ladies don't be blown away by the act of proposal. it's best to come to grips with the
life behind the one proposing.)
To propose means to offer for consideration or acceptance. When a man proposes to a woman, it is not a 'done deal' at
that point. The ball is now in her court. In the traditional manner, he has humbled himself, gotten on one knee, and
requested her hand in marriage. Now it is up to her. Many of the patterns Jesus used in His teachings came from simple
illustrations in everyday life. For example, in ancient Israel, when a young man desired to marry a young woman, he
prepared a contract or covenant to present to the girl and her father at their home. The bride price was the most important
element of the covenant. It represented the cost that he was willing to pay the girl's father for permission to marry her.
The bride price was generally quite high, as it not only compensated the young woman's family; it also indicated the love
that the young man had for her. In short, it was an expression of her great value to him.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ reached out for your hand in marriage.
He left His home to come to yours. There, on a hill called Golgotha, He presented a New Covenant, and bought you with
a price. But not with cattle and gold and silver; your value to Him was so great it couldn't be measured that way. For you,
Jesus paid the ultimate price: "knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your
futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the
blood of Christ" (1 Peter 1: 18-19 NAS). Jesus gave His body to be beaten for you, and His blood to be poured out for
you. Every single one of us has been proposed to and the price has been paid; for Jesus was "not willing that any should
perish but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9b). On October 28, 1975, 1 gave myself to Jesus. I said, "Yes,
I will be Yours all the days of my life." Friends, He washed me ... everything I had ever done wrong, He washed. I
experienced what Isaiah the prophet wrote about, " . . . though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah1:18). I had clean wedding garments. Many of you have
also joyfully accepted the Lord's proposal, but others are still thinking it over. For some, this is the first time you've heard
it. Either way, the ball is in your court.
Between the time of proposal and the actual day, there is a season of continual preparation.
Anyone who's gotten married or helped with a friend's wedding these days, knows there is much to do in preparation for
that final day. Both the bride and the groom have lists upon lists of details. The bride may loose weight and have her hair
and nails done in order to look her best. She'll go over catering, bridesmaids, colors, reception, etc. The groom usually
tones up, fixes up his home, chooses his best man and so on. Both are thinking about the other constantly, wondering if
"she'll like this" and if "he'll like that."
During the engagement or betrothal period in Jesus' day, the couple would not see each other at all until the day of the
wedding. A young man, knowing he was about to get married, would then spend time in preparation for his wife. it was
customary for him to add a beautiful wedding chamber for the honeymoon onto his father's house. it had to be built to the
father's specifications and the young man could not go after his bride until his father approved the chamber.
The bride therefore, would never know when her groom might return for her. While she waited, she was considered to be
consecrated, set apart or "bought with a price". If she went out, she would wear a veil so others would know she was
engaged. During this time, she prepared herself for the marriage. It is likely that she saved money most of her life for this
event. She would purchase expensive cosmetics and learn to apply them to make herself more beautiful for her groom.
She would often partake of a Mikveh, or cleansing bath. She would not know when he would come for her, so she always
had to be ready. Since bridegrooms typically came for their brides in the middle of the night to "steal them away," the
bride would need to have her lamp and her belongings ready at all times. Her sisters or bridesmaids would also be
waiting, keeping their lamps trimmed in eager anticipation of the late-night festivities.
The Scriptures are loaded with commands for us, as the Bride of Christ, to stay holy and pure: "But as he which hath
called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." (I
Pet1:15-16). That is your obligation, Christian.
As one who is engaged to the Lord Jesus, that is your job. He has paid the price, and promised us: "In my Father's
house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John14:2-3).
The problem is, He is coming back for a spotless Bride according to Ephesians 5:26-27: ... that He might sanctify her,
having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory,
having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she should be holy and blameless" (NAS). Peter also warned,
"Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may, be found of Him in peace, without spot,
and blameless" (2 Pet 3:14 emphasis mine).
As that final day draws closer, around us it is getting darker.
I believe we are living in the days which the Bible refers to as perilous. Read 2 Timothy chapters 3 & 4 and you will see
what I mean. People are lovers of self more than lovers of God, high-minded, giving themselves to every sensual pleasure
known. If you haven't realized that it is getting darker and sin is more and more rampant, wake up.
Many who once walked in the Light are being sucked into that darkness; you can't see as well as you once did. Maybe it
was only a sawdust floor at a camp meeting 18 years ago, when Jesus knelt before you with nail pierced hands and said,
"Would you be my Bride?" Captivated, you answered, "YES!" You stayed enamored for weeks and months with the love
of the Bridegroom. Then the darkness of someone's negative remarks slipped in. You started comparing yourself to
others around you who were in less light and decided you didn't have to be that clean. it is a dangerous thing to compare
ourselves to one another. You will always be able to find someone 'worse than you' to justify your wrongdoing. As long as
the standards are low and the lights are dim, it is hard to tell how dirty you've become.
Friend, I'm warning you, if you have not separated yourself, the harder it is going to be to see those things that are
affecting your walk with Christ. When someone comes up to me and says, "I'm a Christian," but they have wine in one
hand and a cigarette in the other... I see stained garments! I've heard people say, "Steve, it's okay ... there are cults out
there who believe in Jesus, they just believe in all the other prophets, too." Would you expect your bride to say, "Honey, I
love you, I just love all these other men, too?" Darkness is encroaching.
The darker it gets, the harder it is to see the stains on your clothes.
There are many of you whose wedding garment is stained and dirty. You are doing things Jesus would never do. You
may go home from a wonderful service where you praised God and felt His presence in an awesome way. But then, you
go home and turn on the television and within minutes there is filth all over your garment. The Lord looks at that and
says,. "' I cleansed you, I washed you in My Blood, you were whiter than snow ... now look at you!"
"Oh, it won't hurt anything if I flip open a porn magazine now and then. So what if I gawk at a scantily dressed girl going
by ... smoke a few cigarettes, take a few drugs once in a while ... God understands." Friend, every time you do, you are
staining the garments of God--that is your righteousness. He is coming for a spotless bride!
What would I have thought if Jeri had come down the aisle in a filthy, wrinkled, stained and smelly wedding gown? "What
an embarrassment. I've been waiting and preparing ... for this? She doesn't love me."
I'm afraid, friend. There is a very scary part to this message. Pick the sin ... pick the stain. You must get right with God
now, there won't be time later.
The bridegroom's appearance will be sudden and there will be no time to wash up.
In the dark of midnight you can hardly see the gown, not to mention the stains. In the days of Jesus, the groom often
came in the dark of night for his bride. She had to be as ready at mid-night as she would've been at noonday. Will you be
ready at midnight?
You won't have time to say, "Wait Jesus, let me go to the cleaner's. Forgive me for that pornography and the lust and
adultery..." No friend, there won't be time. The wedding gown represents your righteousness! If you're not holy, if you're
not living for Jesus, then it is filth. I strive to always keep myself clean. When I am praying for people, my wife is usually
right with me. When I am out during the day, my wife or a male staff member is with me. Why? It's called accountability.
I never know when Jesus is coming and I don't want anything to cause the Lord to look at me and blink His eyes and
say: "Son, what is that on your gown? I washed you ... I gave you everything..."
Some have traded the precious Blood of Christ for 30 minutes with someone they will never see again. They've traded it
for a few minutes of 'ecstasy' with a magazine. They've given it away so they could sit and watch an 'R'-rated, violent
movie. What would have happened if Christ had returned then?
"Now, Steve, I believe once you get saved as a child it doesn't matter how you live the rest of your life. " Well friend, I
suggest you get alone with God, perhaps in a closet, and discuss that with Him--not some theological book or some
pastor-go in a closet and stay there until God answers you. Say, "Jesus, I do things You wouldn't do, does that hinder
my relationship with You? Would that cause any second thoughts on Your coming to get me?" I have a feeling you will
find yourself on your knees in repentance over the answer.
He's coming back SUDDENLY! The thought of His coming scares some because they are not ready. But those who are
ready live for that day! I love what God is doing at Brownsville, but I don't live for another day of revival. I live for one more
day with Jesus, and for His return!
If we believe that Jesus died and rose then we believe He will return. if you are not ready, you will miss it. "For the Lord
Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead
in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet
the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words " (I Thess.
4:16-18).
You must live ready. As you read this He could come back. Would your garment be spotless or would you cry out, "Wait
Jesus, I'm not ready?" There will be no time to wash up.

A Letter To A Daughter Of Zion

Bob Neumann
Dearest Daughter of ZION,
Jeremiah 14:14-19
14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither
have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and
divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them
not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets
be consumed.
16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the
famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor
their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and
let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very
grievous blow.
18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold
them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know
not.
19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is
no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold
trouble! (KJV)
OH DAUGHTER OF ZION, HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU BEEN BATTERED AND BRUISED FOR MY
NAME SAKE! YET YOU TURN YOUR OTHER CHEEK TO YOUR BRETHERN TO RECEIVE A
SECOND BLOW DESIRING TO FIND PEACE AND TO RECONCILE. YET IS IT A BROTHER THAT
YOU TURN TO? IS IT A SISTER THAT RENDS YOU AND THEN ACCUSES YOU OF OFFENSE.
ARE THESE WOLVES OF ME, FROM ME....OR ARE THEY OF THEIR FATHER THE EVIL ONE?
THIS IS A TIME OF DECEPTION FOR THE DARKNESS IS INDEED GREAT AND MANY WHO
SHOULD HAVE SOUGHT MY FACE ONLY SOUGHT THEIR OWN GAIN. LET MY CHILDREN
COME UNTO ME AND IN MY REST THEY SHALL HAVE PEACE. BUT MY PEACE IS NOT IN THIS
WORLD, CHILDREN, BUT IN THE TABERNACLES PREPARED FOR MY HABITATION.
PLAGUE, FAMINE, DARKNESS ARE IN THE LAND NOW. SOON THE SWORD WILL FALL IN THE
LAND FOR TOO MANY STILL DWELL CARELESSLY.
Lamentations 2:13-17
13 What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great
like the sea: who can heal thee?
14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine
iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
15 All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem,
saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say,
We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen
it.
17 The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded
in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice
over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries. (KJV)
PROPHETS SAY THEY SPEAK FOR ME, YET THEIR WORDS ARE NOT MINE WHILE THEIR
HEARTS PLOT AGAINST MY LITTLEST ONES. ALL YOUR ADVERSARIES STRIKE AT YOU FOR
THEY HATE ME. YET THEY CAN ONLY STRIKE VAINLY FOR I AM WITH YOU AND MY GRACE IS
STILL SUFFICENT. YOUR TEARS I DO NOT CONDEMN, YOUR FEARS I DO NOT RIDICULE FOR I
AM STILL YOUR FATHER. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE REGUARDLESS OF YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES.
I SEND MY WORD THROUGH THOSE WHO SERVE ME. THOSE WHO STAND ON TITLES ARE
NOT OF ME. THOSE THAT CLAIM MINISTRY OVER THEIR SERVICE ARE NOT OF ME. THOSE
THAT CRY PEACE AND SAFETY ARE NOT OF ME. IF MY HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT BEAR
WITNESS IN YOUR BEING, THESE ARE FALSE PROPHETS WHO HAVE NOTHING OF ME TO
IMPART TO YOU.
Matthew 7:15-22
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening
wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name
have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? (KJV)
AND WHAT CHILDREN SHALL I ANSWER TO THESE I HAVE NEVER KNOWN? DO YOU NOT
TASTE OF ME WHEN THE FRUIT IS GOOD. BITE INTO THE FRUIT THAT IS PLACED BEFORE
YOU. EAT THAT WHICH IS SWEET AND TART. EAT THAT WHICH FILLS AND NOURISHES.
VOMIT FROM THE MIDST OF YOU THE BITTER AND THE TASTELESS, THE FOUL AND THE
FILTHY. ALIGN NOT WITH THOSE WHO HAVE NOT MY TASTE.
Matthew 24:8-27
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for
my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand
in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no,
nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's
sake those days shall be shortened.
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the
secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. (KJV)
SO IT HAS BEGUN CHILDREN. THE ENEMY SEEKS TO DESTROY THE FOOLISH, THE
UNWARY, THE UNDESCERNING. TO DESTROY YOU REQUIRES THAT YOU BE DECEIVED. IN
THAT DECEPTION YOU WILL GIVE OFFENSE AND BE OFFENDED. TO BE DECEIVED YOU
MUST SUBMIT TO THE FALSE AUTHORITY OF THE FALSE PROPHETS THAT NOW ASSAIL
YOU FROM ALL SIDES. SO HARKEN TO MY VOICE AND CLOSE YOUR EARS TO THOSE WHO
COME TO DEVOUR AND DESTROY.
Mark 13:20-23
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's
sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. (KJV)
SEDUCTIONS OF ALL SORTS WILL COME FOR THE UNGODLY WHO WILL COME TO TICKLE
THE EARS AND STROKE EGOS. I WARN YOU AND YOU MUST ACCEPT THE
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. KEEP YOUR HEARTS TENDER AND YOUR EYES
FOCUSED N ME.
Luke 6:20-26
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom
of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall
laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company,
and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like
manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
25 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and
weep.
26 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! For so did their fathers to the false prophets.
(KJV)
REJOICE CHILDREN FOR THE TIME OF YOUR MATURITY HAS NOW COME. THE FIRE OF
TRIBULATION THAT WILL CONSUME THIS WORLD WILL MERELY REFINE YOU, IT WILL NOT
DESTROY YOU. I AM A CONSMING FIRE. I WILL CONSUME YOU, DIGEST YOU AS YOU
BECOME BONE OF MY BONE AND FLESH OF MY FLESH. REJOICE DAUGHTER OF ZION,
REJOICE!
2 Peter 2:1-2
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among
you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring
upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken
of. (KJV)
1 John 4:1-9
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false
prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh
is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is
that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the
world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he
that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know
we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into
the world, that we might live through him. (KJV)
DAUGHTERS OF ZION HAVE I NOT GIVEN YOU THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH? THROUGH YOU I
SHALL SEPERATE THE WHEAT AND THE TARES. BUT THEN I SHALL ALSO SEPERATE THE
WHEAT AND THE CHAFF. WHO AMONG YOU HAVE TAUGHT THE TWO IMAGES TOGETHER?
WHERE ARE YOUR TEACHERS AND PROPHETS WHO WILL SPEAK THE FULL COUNCIL I
DESIRE FOR YOU? MOST CERTAINLY YOU WILL DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE WORLD AND
MY FAMILY. EASILY WILL YOU SEE THE SERVANTS THAT I SEND TO MINISTER TO YOU AND
THE HIRELINGS WHO WORK FOR WAGES.
PEACE BE TO YOU AS YOU FIND YOUR REST IN ME.

Of All The Wolves

By Douglas T. Finney
A Dream: Sat, 17 Oct 1998

OF ALL THE WOLVES COMING, "THAT ONE IS A FRIEND!" I SAID
In the dream I was lying down on my bed. There was not a room though, just the bed. It was as if it was suspended in
the sky with no boundaries. The sky was the color of my actual bedroom at the time, a very light yellow color. As I was
lying there in my bed, I suddenly noticed something in the distance approaching me. I sat up and looked at the
approaching figures.
As they drew closer, I realized that they were five wolves. I immediately knew that they were coming to attack me and
promptly stood up on my bed and await their arrival. I had no physical weapons, nothing materially to protect me. Keep in
mind that there was no floor, no walls, no ceiling; just me and the bed. I moved to the center of the bed, knowing that
they would be dogging me, trying to bite me and pull me off the bed.
As the wolves ran right up to the bed, one of them suddenly broke off and quickly sat down next to the head of the bed. I
immediately thought " that one is a friend" and quickly turned my attention to the other four that were now surrounding
the bed and were beginning to nip at my feet and ankles trying to pull me off the bed.
They did so one at a time from various spots around the bed. For the next several minutes I repeatedly rebuked them
with the words " I rebuke you in the name if Jesus" over and over, first on one side then the other and so on till one by
one the four wolves retreated, running off into the horizon until they were gone.
After the last of the four had gone, I sighed a sigh of relief and began to lie back down. As I did so, I suddenly noticed a
glowing red in the eyes of the one remaining wolf. Startled, I jumped back up thinking 'he's one of them also'. I yelled one
time " I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" and the fifth and last wolf quickly ran off into the horizon. I lied back down and
the dream ended.
I prayed and studied my bible diligently for the next three days trying to get an interpretation. I concluded that the
interpretation of the dream revolved around that one wolf at the head of my bed.
THE LORD SAID, "THAT ONE WOLF IS FEAR."
It was then that the Lord spoke to me, saying; "that one wolf is fear, he has made his way into the hearts of my people
and is interrupting their rest".
As I considered this, I concluded that the bed symbolized rest. We only let what is near to our hearts close to our beds,
especially the head of it.
The enemy has deceived the church so well that we have become friends with fear, we do not recognize the rest that we
are entitled to or that it is being interrupted. We have become so familiar with fear that we do not even see it and have
accepted it as common.
I believe that the rest that is being interrupted is the Sabbath rest spoken of in Hebrews 4:1-11.

A Martyr's Death
Nita Johnson
[Taken from Prepare For The Winds of Change II]
The body is not to fear this time, as it will be a time of grace as none other. Just prior to the first
publication of Prepare, (September 23, 1990), the Holy Spirit took me through the simulated
experience of a martyr's death on three different occasions. Within two weeks of the second
experience, the Lord spoke to me from heaven in the middle of the night and told me to share what
I've experienced with my family, the Church of Jesus Christ, so they won't fear what is about to
happen, as that was the purpose of these experiences.
From my personal experiences, I'll explain what will happen. While only a minority will have the
privilege of martyrdom, it's important to remove the fear of the experience from the masses. First of
all, when you know you're being called to be a martyr, fear will overwhelm you. God will allow it, as it
will act as sort of divine sieve, sifting out those who don't think Jesus is worth dying for.
However, the minute you say, "Yes, Lord, I will give my life for you", the fear will leave and in its place
you will be filled with a peace that surpasses understanding. Joy will seem to explode from every fiber
of your being. You will be filled, saturated, with a love for God so strong, so overpowering, that it will
seem as though you are going to go to heaven any minute for the pull to be with Him will be so
overwhelming. Your love for Him will draw you to want to give yourself as a martyr - and the sooner the
better.
Nothing less will seem good enough. That's why history records that Paul ran to the axman to have his
head cut off. He was filled with a martyr's grace. The one thing that will permeate your mind will be the
joyful anticipation of the martyr's death. If it is a whole family, as each member makes that decision to
say yes, the whole family will receive the grace I just spoke of. Mom, you may know your little children
will have to watch your death. Don't worry or be afraid. They will be so full of the martyr's grace that
they will be rooting you on while they will maintain the necessary boldness to fulfill their part, and vice
versa. If it's your children that must go first, you will feel only joy for the privilege of your family's
sacrifice. So you will be applauding each member and anxiously awaiting your turn.
By the time your spirit leaves your body, you would have been so saturated with the presence of God;
you undoubtedly wouldn't have felt much pain. If, in fact, pain does occur, it will be wonderfully offset by
the consuming presence of His grace. Passing on to Jesus will hardly be noticed because of the
degree of His presence you were in already.
Stephen's focus was not on the rocks which crushed his body when they stoned him to death in Acts
the seventh chapter. He was already in the presence of God.
But he, full of the Holy Spirit (martyr's grace*) and controlled by [Him], gazed into heaven and saw the
glory of God and Jesus standing at God's right hand. (Acts 7:55) (*Authors note)
Acts 6:8 told us Stephen was full of grace and power. We see Jesus is already preparing him for his
death when it says his face shone like an angel. But by the time he was stoned, he was so full of the
Holy Ghost that all he did was talk to Jesus face-to-face until his spirit left his body, and he was with
the Lord.
Fear didn't fill the other saints that stood by. Those dedicated saints who loved Stephen were also
filled with that same grace so that a boldness swept over them in his death. Although the Bible
indicates that many devout men grieved over his death, it wasn't a grieving consumed with fear. It was
the scriptural grief of the loss of a righteous man, that which God himself feels. But their lamentation
was offset by the joy of God's abounding grace. That's why in Acts 8:4 the Bible said they were
already back preaching "the Glad Tidings". He was what they would become, a sweet-smelling
sacrifice of love to Jesus.
I know this because in prayer the Holy Spirit spontaneously took me through the whole experience
from beginning to end. I didn't ask Him to, in fact, until those experiences, I feared my family or myself
ever having to experience that sort of death. During the first experience, He told me I would certainly
give my life in this manner; I felt it would be in Europe. Now, I can honestly say, I can't wait! My
relationship with the Lord is now so much deeper. I love Him so much more. I find it a privilege to die
for Him. You will too, once you make the decision and put fear under foot where it belongs.
Look at the toll cancer takes and how painful that kind of death is. Yet, how many souls are won
through it? We are all going to die someday, someway. Why fear it just because the word martyr is
attached to it?
Jesus took the sorrow and the suffering of the deaths of His martyrs on Calvary. What He gave us in
return is a grace that produces a song through our experience. The Lord doesn't call us to be martyrs
just to see if we will suffer for Him. He suffered so our suffering would be met by a higher grace. We
are called that we might bear testimony for His name's sake. A martyr's testimony has a way of
bringing people into the kingdom that nothing else can. What is the testimony? We give our lives
gladly, joyfully for Him, and the pain is diminished to varying degrees so we can sing or preach the
gospel all during our martyr's experience. That sight will possibly be the only thing that will bring them
to Jesus. There is nothing to fear, only rejoice, if you're fortunate enough to be called in that way.
Please understand, I am not speaking of being tortured for Christ - only martyrdom. Many who have
gone through torture have suffered immense pain. The Lord seems to give a different kind of grace to
those - that which enables them to bear the unbearable and still love their violators. Yet, we see in the
lives of men like Peter, James and Paul that God will give a supernatural joy, even in torture. His ways
are diverse and wonderful.
Although martyrdom will be a common thing, there will also be many supernatural escapes. The book
of Daniel gives us examples of the Lord's deliverances and His purpose behind such acts. Jesus was
the fourth man in the furnace and became their covering so that the three Hebrew men came out
without even the smell of smoke.
During the coming times of persecution, divine rescues of this nature will be astounding - and
common. A saint might be in a line-up to be shot when suddenly he will disappear and once again
show up in his own living room. As many ways as man can device to kill, the Lord can create to
deliver, bringing further testimony to the gospel. So don't be afraid - just stay close to Jesus and He
will take care of you.
As I said earlier, there will be many who will choose not to stay with the Lord during these worldwide
persecutions. They will instead yield to the devil's flatteries and lose their souls. Don't fear, Church,
only trust. Hold fast to your crown. Don't go the way of the wicked. The price is too great!!
Daniel goes on to say that while some have given in to the devil's deceptions, still others who are
considered wise and understanding (in other words, leaders in the body), will grow weak and fail. He
also tells us that this will bring about a chain reaction. My Amplified Bible reads: "...[thus then the
insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test]..." (Daniel
11:35)
During good times, it can sometimes be difficult to know who made it to heaven and who didn't. God
looks on the heart. We just don't always know the heart, saints. But, during times like we are talking
about now, it becomes much easier to see who's real and who isn't. Daniel tells us three times, once
in verse 32, 34, and again in verse 35, that those who are not true, but are weak in heart, will fall and
not go on with God. He also encourages us in verse 32, 33 and again in verse 35 that those who know
God will be strong.
The key, as I see it then, is not to be considered wise or even understanding, although those two
things can be great strengths. But, that which will hold you in those days will be one thing alone - how
well you know the Lord. To the degree you know Him, you'll be able to stand. What is your secret
relationship with Jesus? Loving Him won't be enough. Knowing hundreds of scriptures won't be
enough, although that too, will help. Your ability to hold tight will be in how well you know Jesus
personally. Where do you stand today?
Finally, he says in verse 35 that this will all be for the purifying of God's own, even until the time of the
end. So once this process begins, it will continue in ever-increasing ways until the end.
Your relationship with Jesus will keep you. Your submission to the Holy Spirit will hold you secure and
guide you daily. Your willingness to hear God's counselors in the times ahead will help keep you in
"perfect provision".
Now is the time to press into Jesus. Don't wait. If you wait, who will save your foolish soul? The wise in
heart, upon hearing this message, will throw every distraction and hindrance out of their lives and run
all the way into Jesus where they will be strong. How about you?
The Bible says God's grace is sufficient. This is a work of the precious Holy Spirit giving strength,
peace and joy for difficult times. We must remember to whom we belong, and trust His abounding
goodness. Though the times may be treacherous, those who draw close to our wonderful Shepherd
will always know the joy of their salvation. This is why the Bible says where sin abounds, grace doth
much more abound. So don't expect to travel through tomorrow on the likes of today's grace. God, in
His infinite mercy, will equip us with an "abounding grace" - to meet with victory, the intensified
darkness.
So do not fear - prepare!

Ambassadors In Bonds
Sherry Mackey
October 15, 1998
" And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the
mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought
to speak. Eph.6:19-20 KJV
Don't let anyone act as an umpire declaring you out or unfit because of circumstances you suffer with. There are plenty of
people out there who take upon themselves the role of your judge and jury. Their whole aim is to disqualify you. We base
our confidence on the "price paid in full" by our savior Jesus Christ. There was nothing lacking in the sacrifice that Jesus
made, all circumstances were included in that price for your life from beginning to end. What God was faithful to start, He
will be faithful to complete in us. Personal circumstances don't limit the work of God in our lives, for He continues to work
"all" things for good in our lives. If Satan himself comes to destroy our bodies, the word of God declares what was meant
for evil will be turned around for good. We thank God in all circumstances, because no matter how bad our
circumstances may appear, He promises that we will triumph in Christ Jesus. You may say triumph? In this mess? How
can any good thing come from these circumstances? You may be in prison, convicted of some crime that you may or
may not have done. You look at the bondage and wonder how can God be working something good by this prison. Just
as there are real prisons, with real criminals, there are spiritual prisons, emotional prisons, physical prisons, prisons of
our own making. Being a prisoner is not limited by locked bars and legal decrees. A prisoner can be walking about in
society looking every bit whole, but chained to weights and bondage's. There are also prisoners because of their
faithfulness to God. Their determination to hit the mark of the high calling, sent a wave of demonic persecution that
sought to completely disengage the threat to the enemies plans. You may be one of these who are being hailed with
arrows and bound to circumstances that you have no control over. God wants you to know He is with you and is working
a higher purpose through it all. I look at the stroke victim and believe God for their healing. I see an individual who is a
prisoner within a body that won't work properly. Inside, the person is free but outside they are bound. The frustration they
must feel is mind blowing. We the body of Christ are going through many hard trials and circumstances, many of us are
bound with no control over them. We can sit in our homes, go about our daily activities, be in a large group of people and
still be in a type of prison of circumstances and feel alone. There are some things we can rebuke, cast out or get over,
but when winter comes, the sap goes to the base of the tree. In America we are good at painting a pleasant picture of the
life of faith. Not many speak of the trials & circumstances we "all" go through. It is not a popular message, so needless
to say, a lot of hurting people are suffering in silence wondering what's wrong with me? Didn't I pray enough, didn't I
rebuke enough? Some prison sentences must be gone through. After all, God is the one designing the lessons of our
lives. After you have rebuked every devil, confessed every scripture and you still seem to be in a prison, the word of God
says to stand. God has a higher purpose for the darkness of the dungeon. The trees sway when the winter winds blow,
and some of the brittle branches break off, but the sap goes to the base point. You may feel dead, dry and brittle, but
know you are loved and that the sap of the tree, who is the Zoe "God kind of life" is within you both to will & do His good
pleasure.
I look at an example of faith in the Apostle Paul. You may or may not know that Paul spent a wide expanse of time,
perhaps a decade in various prisons, beginning with his arrest in Jerusalem about A.D.58 and ending with his
incarceration and final martyrdom under Emperor Nero in A.D.67. I look at the circumstances in the natural and think how
can any good thing come out of this persecution of Paul. Alone and cold in the dungeon, the beloved Paul wrote many
Pastoral epistles that speak to us today. Paul wrote weighty powerful letters in prison, right where he was. Saints, no
matter what prison of circumstance your in right now, know assuredly that God will use you right where you are. 2
Tim.2:9-10 KJV " wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds, but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I
endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory."
All of the suffering and persecution in your lives are for others to know Christ. Satan thought he could shut Paul up.
Bound and put into a pit, his ministry flourished for Paul's writings became weighty and powerful through trial. His faith
was not a formula or a quick fix program, his faith was produced through many experiences that tested it. Paul said, " I
have learned to be content." Paul's example revealed the prize of patient endurance. He boasted of his afflictions that the
power of Christ would rest on him. He spoke of his imprisonment's, how he was driven into exile, and how he had been
stoned. If speaking these things then wasn't wrong, why are so many popular teachings focusing on not confessing
anything negative? It sounds like denial to me. Let the rock throwers hit me in the head, it doesn't hurt, as I don my
mask and cloak. I was once in a particular church that taught Job was a mistake. "If he would have confessed right and
feared not, the book of Job could have only been a few chapters long." Suffering has never been a popular message, and
the church in a lot of areas has neglected to properly prepare the body for these types of trials. The idea is, "if everything
seems perfect and I feel good, then I'm okay with God." Beloved, if you are His chosen, no matter what circumstances
you good through, you are still okay with God. Acts 9:15-16 KJV "But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way, for he is a
chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him
how great things he must suffer my My name's sake." Acts 20:22-24 KJV "And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto
Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying
that bonds and afflictions abide me. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I
might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the
grace of God."
The Lord promises us that He will bring us out of the iron furnace. Only He knows the end results of our trials. Our way of
escape from these circumstances may not be Gods way. We must trust the Lord in all of our circumstances and know
He is working all things for our good and for the sake of the gospel. 1 Peter 5:10 KJV But the God of all grace who hath
called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish,
strengthen, settle you."
The Bible says that a faithful ambassador is health. Pro.13:17 I thank God for the faithfulness of Paul through trial, for his
life as ambassador brought health to the body of Christ through his writings. His life as a missionary did much, but his
writings in prison greatly exceeded any previous work. You may be a lonely minister reading this, thinking that your
stuck in a prison of circumstances and your life is over. It's not over! See, write, pray, believe, stand, wait, be the
example as ambassador of your heavenly country. Help those who are suffering, show them they are loved more than
they know. Heb.13:3 KJV Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as
being yourselves also in the body." You might be bound up, tied, chained and isolated from the world, but no matter how
bound your circumstances are, the word of God is not bound! 2 Tim.1:8 KJV "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the
testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power
of God." Phil.1:12-14 KJV But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have
fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all
other places; and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the
word without fear."
I think about all the saints that have gone on before. Many thought their generations would see the return of the Lord.
Just as we believe we will see His return in our life time. What type of legacy did our relatives leave behind? Our lives are
open books, living epistles seen and read of all men. Paul left a legacy of experiences that we all can learn from. His
reward was Christ and I bet Paul cast his crown at the Lords feet when he arrived to his prize. Paul was human, and I bet
he had lots of regrets and even questioned some of his sufferings. I bet he was cold and the darkness of that pit at times
would close in on him. He found the one who sticks closer than a brother. Even in prison alone, he was not alone. If you
are in a prison today I want to encourage you, your not alone. You are loved in the midst of all the turmoil and mistakes.
He made provision for all your life, including the trials and circumstances that are beyond your control. If you have sinned,
he is faithful and just to forgive you of all your sins and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. All you have to do is repent
and turn towards the lover of your soul with your whole heart. He will never leave you or forsake you. In closing, remember
that personal circumstances don't limit the work of God in our lives. Let none of these things shake your confidence in
Gods love for you, and do not let these things move you. Let God use you right where you are!

American Cities
Sonja Corazza
On Oct. 14, 1998 during an Aware conference in Tacoma, Wa. we had a corporate time of prayer for
America. As we prayed the Lord gave me the following words about nine American cities. The
comments are brief and I wondered if perhaps my hearing was at fault but I now believe these short
revelations may encourage many people to lift up prayers as they read them. What city strikes your
heart as you read this list? Do you have any connection with these cities that might prompt you to pray
for one of them? I know that each of these cities has praying people in them with a great depth of
understanding compared to these short words.
Also, as a matter of interest, mark these cities out on a map and look at the pattern. I don't have full
understanding of it but I trust that our Lord has a prayer army out there that He will reveal His purposes
to. I felt the Lord wanted me to release this word as a follow up to the Vision for the Nations from last
week, as a further call to pray for our America...He said not to hesitate, to blow the trumpet! In
reference to number four, no time frame was shown to me and usually my thoughts are incorrect when
it comes to timing so I won't even try to comment on that. As most people say who send words to this
list, I submit this to the Body of Christ to be judged and discerned.
1. It is going to go hard with San Francisco because they have embraced and glorified sin.
2. New York is actually open to the Holy Spirit right now.
3. Boston has pride.
4. Seattle is perched on the edge of revival because of all the prayers lifted up on behalf of the people.
5. St. Louis is in the middle of the country...pray for it so a barrier will be removed.
6. Minneapolis is a northern gateway.
7. Phoenix is lazy...relaxing in the sun.
8. New Orleans is a gateway for influence from the Caribbean...pray against these spirits.
9. Miami has been an inheritor of rebellion and violence.
In Christ,
Sonja Corazza

An Interesting Discovery
Roger Daniel
Revelation/discovery by Rev. Roger Daniel about Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, leading on
from his dream about the fireball of judgment upon Christendom described as an amusement park
(Re: D&V List No.202).
Daystar Ministry
daystar@uq.net.au
D&V List No.209
Last Sunday morning I shared my dream of the coming fireball with the congregation. I was at the
church very early (had a heavy burden) making final preparations. I wanted to check my calendar to
determine the exact date when the Lord gave this dream.
I looked down at my calendar and read the date: September 21, 1988. I was startled to discover that
this date is Rosh Hashanah. I had the strangest sensation as I sat and pondered this.
My knowledge of Rosh Hashanah was a bit sketchy. But I made a mental note to check it out. Monday
I went to the seminary library to do some research. As I drove to the library I sensed the hand of God
upon me. I was more than a little amazed at what I found.
Here it is:
Rosh Hashanah
Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year, celebrated on the 1st of Tishri (the 1st month in the civil year
or the 7th month of the ecclesiastical year of the Jewish calendar). It is the second most Holy Day in
Israel, after Yom Kippur (the day of atonement, which occurs ten days later). The period between Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur is known as the Ten Days of Awe. The establishment of the Jewish New
Year is recorded in two Old Testament passages:
Now in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall also have a holy convocation; you
shall do no laborious work. It will be to you a day for blowing trumpets [shofar]. (Num 29:1; italics mine)
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, "In the seventh month on the first of the month, you shall have a
rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets [shofar] a holy convocation. You shall not do any laborious
work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD." (Lev 23:24-25; italics mine)
During Rosh Hashanah, the Jews celebrated the creation of the world. But the Rabbis taught that
"man should be judged on the anniversary of His [God's] creation." They taught that "all things should
be judged" on that day and that Rosh Hashanah was "a day of judgment set on the anniversary of the
creation of the world." According to the Rabbis, all the inhabitants of the world filed before God on this
day to be examined by Him (Ps 33:14-15).
In light of this, Rosh Hashanah was a time for self-examination and repentance. It was a time for
"prostrating oneself before the Lord." Prostration before the Lord was the high point of the
observance. The whole congregation would kneel and fall prostrate before God. The Ten Days of Awe
were an extended period for examination and cleansing, climaxing at Yom Kippur. This aspect of
examination and judgment is clearly seen in the proclamation of Moses ben Maimonides (in reference
to Rosh Hashanah):
Awake oh you sleepers, awake from your sleep! Oh you slumberers, awake from your slumber.
Search your deeds and turn in Teshuvah (repentance). Remember your Creator, oh you who forget
truth in the vanities of time and go astray all the year after vanity and folly that neither profits nor
serves. Look to your souls and better your ways and actions. Let everyone of you abandon his evil way
and his wicked thoughts which are not good.
Rosh Hashanah is observed on the 1st day of the month of Tishri. It is interesting that the Zodiac sign
for the month of Tishri is a balance, a scale upon which things are weighed.
It was designated as a day for "blowing the shofar." The shofar was a trumpet like instrument, usually
made from a ram's horn. The first historical occasion associated with the sounding of the shofar was
at Sinai when God revealed Himself in fire to the children of Israel:
So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes
and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in
the camp trembled. (Exod 19:16)
The sounding of the shofar is also found in Isaiah 58:1 (this is a clear reference to sounding an alarm
and the call to repentance:
Cry loudly, do not hold back; raise your voice like a trumpet, and declare to My people their
transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
It is also found in Zech. 9:14:
Then the LORD will appear over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and the Lord GOD will
blow the trumpet, and will march in the storm winds of the south.
Note: The significance of this reference in Zech. cannot be simply explained. There have been several
prophetic words and dreams given to our church concerning lightning and storms. I am presently
preaching a series of messages entitled Unafraid of the Storm. The second message in this series is
subtitled Tornado Warning. In light of that message the reference in Zech. is startling.
In the 9th century, a Rabbi by the name of Saadia Gaon listed ten reasons for blowing the shofar.
Among them were four reasons that had to do with the theme of judgment:
4th Reason: Ezek 33:2-6: "Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and say to them, 'If I bring a
sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their
watchman; and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and he blows on the trumpet and warns the
people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes
and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. 'He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not
take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life.
'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not
warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his
blood I will require from the watchman's hand.'
5th Reason: Jer 4:19-21: My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart! My heart is pounding in me;
I cannot be silent, because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Disaster on disaster is proclaimed, for the whole land is devastated; suddenly my tents are
devastated, My curtains in an instant. How long must I see the standard, and hear the sound of the
trumpet?
7th Reason: "We fear and tremble and bend our will to the Creator." Amos 3:6-7: If a trumpet is blown
in a city will not the people tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it? Surely the
Lord GOD does nothing Unless He reveals His secret counsel To His servants the prophets.
8th Reason: "The trumpet reminds us of the great day of judgment."
A 3rd century Rabbi further refined the different stages of divine judgment with this declaration:
Three books are opened on Rosh Hashanah. One for the wicked, one for the righteous, and one for
the in-between. The righteous are immediately inscribed in the book of life, the wicked in the book of
death, and the verdict of the in-between is suspended until Yom Kippur.
This Rabbi saw Rosh Hashanah as a time for decision. Men would either be righteous or wicked, with
a brief period for men to decide which (remember, there are 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur).
One further note -- Rosh Hashanah was also seen as a time for remembrance:
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'In the seventh month on the first of the month, you shall have a
rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets a holy convocation. (Lev 23:24)
Also in the day of your gladness and in your appointed feasts, and on the first days of your months,
you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings;
and they shall be as a reminder of you before your God. I am the LORD your God. (Num 10:10)
It is interesting to me that after relating the dream that I had on Rosh Hashanah, I presented a
communion liturgy in the evening service entitled The Lord's Table: A Time to Remember. At the time I
had no idea that there was any connection with Rosh Hashanah and remembrance.
And yet another note -- Rosh Hashanah was celebrated at the end of harvest festivals. To truly
understand the significance of this, you need to hear the message When Vintage Shouting Ceases.
It will be very easy for those who are not in the "flow" of what God has been doing for the past year in
our church to simply dismiss all of this as a coincidence. But in light of all that God has been speaking
through His Word and by His Spirit over the last year, I cannot dismiss it so easily.
I don't believe that it is a coincidence that this dream was given on Rosh Hashanah. The message
and imagery are too powerful and so relevant to all that God is doing.
It is a time of judgment and examination.

It is a time to blow the trumpet and give warning.
As a nation and a church we are being weighed in the balances.
We are being examined by the Lord of the Lampstand with His eyes of fire.
It is a time to prostrate ourselves before the Lord in repentance.
It is a time to declare our transgressions and confess our sins.
It is time to awake out of sleep.
It is a time when disaster is being declared for the whole land.
It is a time of decision -- time to decide if you will be cold or hot.
God is revealing Himself in fire and calling for a burnt offering of fire.
God is sending forth His lightning and moving in the storm winds.
The harvest festivals are ending. The crushing and pressing is coming to an end. It is time to taste the
wine and be anointed with oil!

A New Wave of Power

Nick Uva
Take heed to what I say for I am about to unleash a new wave of power into the earth. It will not run to all, but my eyes
will once again search to and fro in the earth looking for the ones to whom I can entrust this power safely. Those who are
humble will remain candidates - as well as those who have a commitment and a desire to see Satan's kingdom
overthrown and his works undone. Zeal for my house will be an important factor in my eyes as I decide into which of you I
will pour this deposit of grace."

A New Day Arises

Heaven and earth declares the glory of the Risen Lord.

Justice and Mercy are the foundation of His throne.
So why is it that My people are so complacent, apathetic and numb to the needs of the poor, fatherless, widows, and
single parents, the homeless, the outcasts and the indigent, the alien or foreigner in the land?
I have said, "Be holy as I am holy!" yet My people go on and on in their wickedness, as if I were not watching! Keep your
senses free from evil, as much as humanly possible in this evil world. Keep focused on ME, for I AM watching. And I see
the hearts who desire to be like ME. I see those who desire righteousness and whose souls are tormented by the evil in
the world.
I see those who pray and praise in response to what they see and feel.
And I see those who only speak as if they do!!!!!! Am I not a God close at hand and not afar off????? Those who proclaim
to be Mine and set an example for others, but who are PRETENDERS to the throne of God, I also see.
I see the pretense and trickery, and I see the true example set by them for their children who see the lies and deceit.
And I am setting My judgements in the House of God! I will no longer tolerate the pretense and lies. I alone know the
hearts that are true and the hearts that are full of dead men's bones.
I am taking some of My old warriors home ! It's time for a new generation to take hold of the reins for the new thing that I
am doing.
Behold all old things have passed away and I do a new thing! Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord! I am raising up
a NEW STANDARD of holiness, truth and justice!!!!!
I am raising up My Gideons. It is time that they come forth!

I am raising up all manner of dread champions !
My Davids, My Joshuas, My Samuels, My Sampsons, and My Deborahs, My John the Baptists.
My army WILL NOT RETREAT !!!! ANY LONGER!
This is the year of the Lord's FAVOR!
Great will be the blessings to the steadfast and faithful who've been willing to count the cost. (...and they did not love
their life even unto death.)
Truly a new day arises. (Rev. 12:17 - and the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the
rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.) See Zechariah 10
I will no longer allow PERVERSION to grow unchecked !!!!!!!!

Hold on steadfast to Your Lord of glory for perilous times are at hand.
LISTEN to the still small voice. Do not faint in the day of adversity lest your strength be seen to be small.
TRUST IN ME!!!! for I care for you. Great is the peace of those whose minds are stayed on Me. Cleanse your hearts from
all wickedness for Your Redeemer draws nigh !!!!!

A New Round of Shaking

In the recent weeks the Lord has been talking to me about an impending new round of shakings, that
are about to be released in the earth and the church. This shaking will bring pressure upon God's
people - the purpose of which is to bring us to total dependence upon the Lord in all areas of our lives.
To do this, God has to push us to our extremity, where no one can help us through but God alone. The
discovery of the Titanic at the bottom of the ocean in 1985 and the subsequent worldwide attention it
has received through the movie, is a profound warning from God to the Church and the world. The
Titanic was a picture of the state and attitude of the British empire in its day which reflected that
period of extravagance and arrogance as well as the belief that nothing could sink their expanding
economy and Empire.
Proverbs 16:15 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
The consequence of this attitude is that the ship and Empire are no more. Within two years of the
sinking of the Titanic in 1912 the world was in the flames of war and their seemingly invincible Empire
was about to hit an iceberg which would eventually send it to the bottom of the sea. Within a few more
years the stock-market crash of 1928 ushered in an unprecedented world depression.
Just as Britain did not heed God's first warning in the sinking of the Titanic, even so today the world
continues on as if everything is going to be alright and this time the consequences will be far worse,
PREPARE FOR DIFFICULT TIMES. The world economies are primed for the greatest crash in
history. The leaders of today are sailing along with the same arrogance and pride as the crew of the
Titanic. Great devastating economic problems are about to sweep across the Nations in waves.
Great countries and societies will be collapsing like dominos. In many of these countries there will be
a return to the early 1900ts in terms of conveniences and amenities . Hebrews 11: 7 By faith Noah,
being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his
house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
God is going to shake the Nations, very, very soon in a way that they have never been shaken before.
God is developing a new kind of faith in those who will submit to His dealings in their lives. This
shaking will remove that which is not of God in our lives and bring us to total dependence upon Him in
all things.
Exodus 15:23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters off Marah,
for they [were] bitter: therefore the name off it was called Marah.
Exodus 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, what shall we drink?
Exodus 75:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree, which
when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a
statute and an ordinance, and THERE HE PROVED THEM.
I read this story of a steel mill recently. On the mill were many cubicles with pieces of steel in them.
These pieces of steel had been tested to their limits and marked with figures that showed the
breaking point of the steel.
Some steel had been twisted until it broke, others had been subjected to enormous pressures, some
had been compressed. The tensile strength was marked on each piece. The manager of the mill knew
just how much pressure each piece could stand under what strain. He then knew what steel could be
used to build a huge ship which would withstand the storms it would encounter. He knew what steel
could be used to build a bridge. He knew all this because the testing room had revealed it. This is
what God is doing in our lives so that we can survive the next few turbulent years and be used of God
in these last days.
Pressure will increase, shakings are coming in a greater way.
Look for a great earthquake in Japan that will collapse the economy of the Nation, which in turn will
collapse like dominos the economy of most western Nations around the world, including the USA. This
will bring very hard economic times but this is of God in His great wisdom to turn the nations to Him.
Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will
I seek thee early: for when they: judgements (are) in the earth, the inhabitants of the world
will learn righteousness.

Angels of the Millenium

by David B. Donlon
The Angel of Prophecy

The dreams were coming again.
Two or three nights a week I was besieged
By an insistent Angel of Prophecy.
It used to happen long ago, but I had forgotten.
Long ago, there was something that happened, but I had forgotten.
The Angel sought to remind me.
One time he held out his palm overflowing with sand --
I took a portion and sifted it hand to hand.
"The secrets of the light have been revealed," he said.
I only nodded. It seemed I had seen this before.
"You must look back within yourself, to find the reflection of what you once were, written in your heart"
These words had no meaning to me but I nodded.
"I said to your grandfather -- you will not know, nor will your
Sons know, but the sons of your sons will surely know."
I felt a shiver against his masculinist phrases.
How to correct an Angel of Prophecy?
I studied him closely.
His golden hair was either dirty or at least very limp, though
His feathered wings shone in the dreamlight, Iridescent like the sand.
His eyes I could not see.
His breath was hot, and the cadence of his words beat
Metrically, even if waking light turns them bland.
Something in my study miffed him, and he withdrew.
But last night he came again.
"Why are you not writing what I told you?" he wanted to know
"Why should I?" I gave him in rejoinder.
"I will not speak further," he said then, "until you
Have written all that I have said."
Again he withdrew in an angelic huff, leaving me
To slowly wake and ponder.
What could it hurt? He was asking, after all, for such a little thing.
I think this is what he told me:
"Before the coming of the waterbringer shall the people know
At last, and then the new age will be brought forth,
Born in controversy.
But the ending age will not go down quiet, therefore prepare;
Put straight what is crooked between you and your brother;
Cleave only to your wife;
Guard your children well and guard the old ones well;
Become a firmament upon which can be built the shining cities;
Put away the lusts of the blood, the desires of the self;
Make yourself strong, imperturbable, steadfast;
Await the instructions of your Lord."
I tried to remember the rest, but this is all I’ve got.
Maybe now he will come again.
If he does, I shall surely ask him questions:
Who is this Lord of which you speak, and why should I take
instructions from him?
Why can’t you say what you mean?

What have you got against women?
Why is it always "put away the lusts of the blood" when that
is a hardwired biological drive?
Why are you blonde and lithe instead of short and swarthy?
If he comes again, he will answer these questions, or
I won’t write another word for him.
The Angel of Wrath

"What is to be paid, I tell you, the Son has
Paid the Lion’s share, and yours shall be but a portion.
I say you will not pay one sixth of what he has paid,
But you will pay your part. Therefore be of good cheer."
The Angel of Destruction

"I will come unexpectedly, where I am not looked for.
The people will be afraid, and wonder; then go to them
With the words you have received. Do not pause
To put right the bookshelves, but go into the streets
And testify."
The Angel of Friendship

"The times to come are hard times, and the sorrows
To come are without number. But in this time shall
Be the forging of fast friendships and holy bonds of love
Which shall be the foundations of the new millenium."
The Angel Returns

On the fourth night I was visited again; this time
By my old friend the Angel of Prophecy.
"Was it not said that in this time the young man
Shall have visions and the old man shall dream dreams?
Surely you have had your lot of dreams; therefore, tell it
To your neighbor."
"How can I do that? I don’t even know these people.
And aside from that, I am not an old man."
"Old enough to dream."
This tack was putting me off. I was feeling surly.
"I am not your mouthpiece. You tell it to my neighbor."
"You cannot avoid the work of the Lord forever.
How tenderly he calls to you, and you do not listen.
You shut your ears to the sweetest voice and hearken
To the dinof the world. This is not wisdom."
I thought the Angel was mixing up his arguments into
A verbal succotash, but I let it go. He looked peevish too,
And I was tired. There was an uncomfortable silence.
"The ways of the Lord are mysterious to me," he said,
"That he should pick one such as you as a vessel for
His holy wine! Yet God will choose whom he will choose,
And it is not well that I should admonish him, but do my
Duty. Yet do not let it go to your head, poet. You would
Do better to keep your humility, or you will be humbled.
You are but a minor voice. You shall not say one
Thing which has not been said."
This was a dead-on insult, and he knew it.
"Then you must answer me these questions. Who is the Lord
You represent? The Christian Lord, I take it, from your talk
Of the Son."
"That God is a mystery yet to all men should not surprise
You. There are not words to answer your question."
"Then tell me why you insist on speaking in the masculine?"
"What was good in one time is good for all times."
This answer I didn’t expect, and I lost myself in considering it.
When I looked up, he was gone again.
Shopping and the Prophetic Urge

Carrots; peas; lima beans -- wait, why do I want those?
No, it’s the cereal aisle I want.
Let’s see:
Corn Chex. Cheerios. Captain Crunch --
Mmmm, Crunchberries..
THE HARVEST SHALL FALL TO THE LOCUST!
What the..? Who said that? There's nobody on this aisle but me . . .
I hope I'm not going crazy. I need some oats, any oats; these are fine.
Next up—bread and peanut butter . . ..
YOU SHALL LACK FOR BREAD AND WINE
BUT NOT FOR THE WORD OF THE LORD!
Uh...yeah. Wine sounds good. Or maybe beer . . .
I am thirsty all of a sudden . . .
THE ATHIRSTED SHALL DRINK
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!
That’s just gross -- quit it will you? Nobody’s about to
Drink blood around here. Let me do my shopping,
Ok?
OK!!
The Angel of Sarcasm

"Before going –
Thou shalt gird thyself in the proper manner
Thou shalt wear the shirt with the stiff cuffs
Thou shalt wear the well-starched slacks
And, lo, even shalt thou put on thy squeaky shoes;
Tight shall be the knot of thy tie.
At the sound of thy coming there shall be lamentations;
When thou arrivest all shall hail thee, and the sound
Of thy crisp dollars chafing thy thigh; and lo, even shall
The multitudes clutch at thy hand, and call thee lord.
But listen thou well:
Never shalt thou walk in the ways of the world
While walking with the Lord thy God."
The Angel of Mercy

"Poet, relent and be at ease in your heart."
I cannot relent.
"Poet, there is much you do not know.
Your understanding is but a micron of the Lord’s"
Yet that is all he gave me.
"Poet, you are wrong. The Lord gave you a heart,
And he gave you a book, and he has given many signs."
Get off my back.
"Poet, your God will never tire of calling you
Until the end of the days of the earth."
What does he want?
"Poet, you know what your Lord wants

You think his desires are the hardest to obey,
You fear the loss of your reputation,
They will think you are crazy if you say
‘The Lord speaks to me and bids me tell…’
You think you will be ashamed of your God."
The truth!
"These shall not be put aside.
You must of your own freewill accept
The scorn of your peers."
You make me laugh with what I ‘must do’ with freewill!
"Nevertheless, poet."
The Angel of Prophecy Bids Farewell

"This shall be my last visit.
From this time on you shall go at your own bidding.
Your own heart shall prove you."
"Wait! I’ve gotten used to your coming.
I like our argument. Surely we haven’t finished?"
"The time of games is over.
The days of the earth are running short, therefore tell your neighbor.
You may find him ready if it is argument you want."
"But I still don’t understand – you have to explain to me
Why these things that I read and see,
Which you say have come from the Lord –
Why they don’t make any sense?"
"I have done my part, poet, therefore farewell."
Lamentations of the Poet

OK God, it’s just us now.
Why did you make my lot so hard?
Why didn’t you make me stupider, that I could not
Think up reasons to deny you?
Why do you call me to testify to what I do not know?
I am tired, Lord.
I cannot interpret dreams.
I cannot tell an Angel from a devil.
I cannot read Leviticus without thinking what bonehead God is so illiberal
about sacrifices?
I cannot make any sense out of the Book of Job.
I cannot conceive a God who would create a people and choose some to live
and some to perish forever in flames of hell,
Who would visit on his children famines and plagues and war.
These are the things that people do.
I think that the Lord ought to be utterly different.
Yet I have considered these many months that my mind is limited in
understanding.
Therefore should I repent of having written of a God who would bring all
his children to understanding? Who would forsake none, no
matter how wicked?
I wander about in my own thinking, without guidance.
I consider the worthlessness of my previous life, and I consider when my
errors increased, and where I did wrong.
I consider that I am not wise enough, even with all my learning, to know
what to do in these times of the soul’s trial.
"Send your Angels back to me, Lord.
Send them back, and let them never leave from me."
God Answers the Poet

I raised my head up and did cry out for very pain in my heart:
"Lord – I know that I am unclean in your sight,
I know that when I send up my prayers, they stink with my corruption;
I know that my life thus far has been vain; therefore, pity me,
Lord; have mercy"
"Yea, you have made yourself low before me;
You have humbled yourself, and chastised your heart – yet have you not
done this before?
Have you not brought yourself low with moaning, begging me for signs,
Which as soon as you asked, I did show you?
Did I not cause a star to fall within your sight when you begged it?
Did I not send you dreams and bring you within the bosom of my love?
Have I not always faithfully answered you?
And yet, every time, no sooner has the morning sun risen, no sooner have
your cares left you than you deny me.
I have showed you all kindness, for I am a kind and loving God;
As you humble yourself before me, so shall I do likewise before you:
But the time has come now that you must choose which path you will walk.
Therefore keep your path in righteousness, and give praise unto the power
and glory of your God.
Do not seek to lead me another time down the garden path!
Put aside iniquity, seek forgiveness for your sins, and do you sin no more,
But seek to know me and my ways; read in my given word, and you shall
come into your proper inheritance."
"God, I do want to walk in the path of righteousness, but I do not
understand your word – it makes no sense to me."
"As for sense, what need of it when you have my love?
What mortal has ever understood my designs?
Let not your lack of understanding concern you, but read with open eyes
and an open heart.
Listen especially well to the words of my Son and His apostles, for they
were written for you and all who will come to them in these times.
Do this out of love for me, and I will increase your understanding;
Do this out of love for me and I will never leave your side, but lift up your
steps, and bring you into your proper glory."
"I hear the will of my God, and I obey; I am now and forever your servant,
even your very own poet.
Do with me as you will God."
Personal Revelation
The memory comes flooding back!
Long ago in the desert of my spiritual life I put out a call to whatever God there was in the heavens,
And I did not know what kind of God would answer, or whether there would be an answer,
And I neither knew what kind of universe I inhabited, whether a devoid expanse where only the cooling
stars might reply,
Or an overrun metropolis of deities, elbowing and crowding to gain the front,
And I was suspicious of what a man might tell me about the deific,
And I neither believed the retributive God of my grandmother, nor the amorphous Cloud of Love I heard
of in the streets of the 1970s,
Nor did I have much to do with imported Gods carried on the songs of the radio;
I marked them all down in my mind, but I could not believe what I did not participate in,
And their very variety spoke against them within me, for I conceived that God was One.
I might have wandered along alone except for the weeping of my soul.
I knew the inward lack, the empty spot without salve.

I tell you when I was eight years old I ached inside.
At nine I knew profound sorrow, though my irreligious parents could not see it;
By the time I was thirteen the emptiness had grown until it consumed me.
Then I could have believed in anything, so long as there was peace within me,
Only stop the restless ache of my soul so I might lie down without misery.
One night, solemn and low, I knelt beside my bed and besought the deity to reveal itself to me.
"Show me who you are," I prayed.
"Let me not be alone here, for I cannot endure it any longer."
For I had an unwavering faith that if there was a God, then that God would tell me himself what was
true about him.
And I admit I wanted to believe.
I admit I wanted the hollowness of my inner self healed, so much that I easily could have fooled myself
into belief that was not true,
And I established that this would be the lowest conclusion of any kind, worse even than if there should
not be a God.
For I valued truth above all else, and I considered it heroic.
If there is no God, then let my answer be silence.
How my life was changed in that one night, the one longest night of all my life!
In images God said to me, "Jesus will be food to you."
In emotions God said, "I love you, for you are precious to me."
In my spirit God showed where he had always been, and how I could find him again.
In my intellect he revealed that he was greater than I could understand no matter how long I tried, but
that the trying was holy.
And he lifted me up into a glory of radiance, and held me there, until my mind was quiet, and my spirit
aching with thirst was quenched.
And long after that night, which when the darkness was over blended seamlessly with the day, and
seemed to be both everlasting and instantaneous,
And I found myself awake and in my bed with the deific receding ever so slowly out and away from me,
and my proper mind began again,
And I marveled, and was happy for many days and weeks, filled with inexpressible love and mystery,
And my life was charged with a sense of the holy, which I braced with reading from the New Testament,
in the words of Jesus written red on the pages,
Until for many cycles of my life I fed myself on the food of what was spiritual,
And Jesus became for me something symbolic of more than just common deity ripe for worship,
More than someone's angry God requiring genuflection, but the pinnacle of human achievement, the sign
and standard of humanity
And I anticipated that the highest form of art was to be like him,
And these thoughts I developed and advanced within my mind for years after that night.
But there grew within me also a great burden of intellectual and emotional frailty,
Until I could not meet the gaze of a stranger, nor abide to be anywhere long but alone,
Nor could I take solace in the company of my own family, and I grew skittish in public, morose in
private,
And these two things fought within me, the spiritual connection and the temporal dysfunction,
Until I became on every side eccentric, and spooky.
For a time frailty won and I altogether forgot about the spirit.
I fought off depressions, addictions, criminality, perversions and sickness, coming each year closer to an
end of me,
For I had fallen into great folly, and worse, I had forgotten about the charge I had received.
I had forgotten the debt I owed my originator.
I had forgotten the sweet breath of my God.
How? How? How could I have let this thing happen?
And when the bad things in my life worsened, I had the lowness to blame God,
But that was the worst, for had not God himself shown me what was possible?
Had not God himself lifted me into his glory?
What a contemptible creature is the man who can deny what he knows is so,
What a penurious fool is the man who would damn the well of love within him.
And I had become contemptible.

I had become a penurious fool.
And now I wonder by what pure love and grace could God have anything at all to do with me anymore,
And I make myself low and humble before him.
And I make this pledge, that I will not act as if my knowledge of God and living life in this world are
separated,
That if the one cannot meet the other, then the both shall be thrown into the pit and me with them,
That my spirit shall rule my body by the law of Christ,
That I shall become more perfect, and though I shall surely fail of the standard, that I shall remain
stalwart within myself,
And that I shall no more beg and weep toward God to make good my life, but instead shall use every
power within me to make good my life in his eyes,
That I shall stop making pretense that things are other than they really are,
That I shall become worthy of God's notice, and that which he has already given me,
That there shall never come a cessation of the repaying of the debt that is owed.
In this I renew myself and pledge myself.
I take on a new anointing and I move quickly outward to do the work assigned, the only work worth
doing.

The Anointed Shell That Refracts

Mary Easterling
[This is an unusual example of a Revelation of Jesus Christ that came to me thru email from Mary Easterling. I believe it
has some bearing on how God reveals himself thru other people. If we try to know each other after the Spirit, we can
learn something new about God. - Bill Somers]
To Bob Neuman
CC. Bill Somers, Cliff Hursey
Robert
Yes sir my world has been rocked again.
And seeing as the Lord has seen fit to send this to others Robert is my friend to whom I originally and solely intended to
send this. but now unto you all the grace and peace of the Almighty, who is able to make you into the image of His son,
be unto you.
After I hung up with you I went to get the dish of stuff I had cooked for lunch and my knees start to buckle and what God
had said I couldn't do all day I was finally allowed to do which is to fall at His feet.
And I saw what appeared to be a water fall over rocks on a mountain side and I looked from various angles at this water
fall and realized the rocks weren't rocks they were a person in the waterfall which I then knew was not water but light.
Then God spoke. "Why did Lucifer fall?" I answer "Pride".
Then God asked "what was Lucifer's job before he fell?" I answered "he was the anointed cherub that covers" .
Then God said "and since then have I been covered?" I had to search my mind for the limited scriptures cases I knew
and "knew" that the answer was" NO."
Then I saw again only this time it was people surrounding around above and beneath all facing outward from what I can
only guess is the throne and they were like the facets of a big diamond and the light of the glory (shekinah) shone
through them. The covering is not to obscure but to refract the pure glory of God into what I can only guess.
You may now wonder what in the world I had for lunch but this came before I ever ate the first bite.
The attributes of God are facets or refractions of Him the sensual (sensed) experiential facets are refraction. how ?
Through the Holy Spirit yet I told you the vision where the Light of God shone and Jesus stepped into it and the Spirit
covered the 2 then they became one. literally! and the covering that beautifies is the body the shell surrounding refracting
beautifying by display the very essence of the Deity on high each of us through the prismatic experience of what we
became in Him. walls of a city not round but square!
Needless to say My mind took it all in and I screamed at the overload for Robert in moment I saw the universe and
understood that the whole thing with mankind and redemption et al was to replace the refracted covering that once
adorned the almighty and to replace one cherub with many virgins.
No sir I have no real understanding but I believe the word we are looking for is transformed. I have been catalyzed by the
Most Holy spirit and have further transformed and when this has happened to ALL His bride she will no longer be able to
be contained in the natural and in the twinkling he shall change her into what she must be else she die! and no one will
ever accept this and less will ever preach this but this is what they need to understand. and the scripture must be made
clear to them THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND OR DIE My being trembles vibrates to the tune of His song as it is now
sung and being sung in me as you prophesied in the Spirit in November. Had I not heard that day I couldn't appreciate let
alone handle this now.
For such a time as this we have come to be in HIM

Frances
A Question from Bill Somers:
Hey Mary, I find this very interesting. Could you explain this part again:
You Wrote:
Through the Holy Spirit yet I told you the vision where the Light of God shone and Jesus stepped into it and
the Spirit covered the 2 then they became one. literally!
Mary's response:
Yes it happened some time back. I used to enjoy protracted times of worship with the Lord till I started college. it was
during one of these times that I saw; A incandescent light ( He who dwells in unapproachable light) then Jesus stepped
into the light then as if a film covered the vision the "ghost" or Holy Spirit came into the vision. then in a strange twist
Jesus filled the light with Himself and then the Spirit was "inhaled" ( the best way I can describe it) and the three were
one! Or has it always been thus and we never knew? You see Bill there's a lot we never knew even though it was in plain
black and white under our very noses.

Antidote For Apathy

Jeff Treder
For a long time now, prayers have been lifted and prophesies spoken to awaken the slumbering church. We have
prophesied, "the hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber" (Rom.13:11) and "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from
the dead, and Christ will shine on you." (Eph.5:14) So far, though, what we still hear is mostly snoring. There is a reason
for this. The church is afflicted with apathy, which comes from Greek words meaning "no feeling." No feeling, no passion,
emotional and spiritual numbness. The church isn’t just asleep, she is in a drugged sleep, like Snow White awaiting the
kiss of the True Prince—but, like Snow White, oblivious to what is going on.
The church has been anesthetized. Anesthesia, coincidentally, also comes from Greek words meaning "no feeling." In
medical practice, an anesthetic is usually a carefully controlled dosage of a poison, an overdose of which will kill the
patient. The enemy of our souls has managed to do the reverse of this to the church—and he has managed it because
we have allowed it, given our consenting nod to the smiling anesthetician. With our consent, the enemy has been able to
limit our dosage of the good things of the Spirit—limited doses of spiritual worship, knowledge of the Scriptures, koinonia
fellowship, evangelistic outreach. Limited doses, just enough to lull us into a comfortable spiritual complacency. It turns
out that limited doses of heavenly things can act as a soporific drug, an efficient anesthetic.
What the church experiences under this anesthetic is a Laodicean lukewarmness (Rev.3:14-22), a perilous illusion that
all is well, a sort of pleasant opium dream. The Lord’s warning to the church in this condition is one of the most drastic
warnings in all of Scripture: our lukewarmness nauseates Him, and He is about to vomit us out of His mouth. This is the
condition of much of the church NOW.
Therefore, NOW the Lord calls the prophetic intercessors (if you are a faithful intercessor, you are prophetic) to expose
the works of darkness—to reach out in the Spirit and pluck and destroy the opium poppies—to pull down this stronghold,
the devil’s anesthetizing machinery—to call forth the FULL DOSAGE of gold refined in the fire, a complete suit of white
armor to replace that hospital gown that leaves the back exposed, and spiritual salve to open the drugged eyes. NOW
the Lord calls the prophetic preachers to prophesy: breath to the bones! Prophesy: Laodicea, wake up! Prophesy:
Lazarus, come forth!
The True Prince Himself will kiss His bride into wakefulness, but He is using the prophetic to do it. PROPHESY!

A Christmas Prophecy
Bill Somers
Revised 12/06/98
This article is a look at the first coming of Jesus as described and Matthew and Luke, also Isaiah. We need to see
how it is a type or prophecy of his Second Coming. That is to say things that happened at his first coming are
foreshadows of what will happen at his second coming. Let me make it clear that most of these points refer to Jesus
coming spiritually to his Church in the form of a great outpouring leading to a great harvest. This takes place during
and after a time of judgment on the Church. In other words the first coming of Jesus speaks of End Time
Revival coming to the Church.
You may want to go over the passages in Matthew and Luke and Isaiah since we did not include them, to keep this
article short. As you do, think of the coming of Jesus as the coming of Revival.
The Christmas Story is a Prophecy!
1. His first coming was foretold by the prophets. His Second Coming is also being foretold by the prophets.
2. Wise men knew when and where to look for him then, Wise men will know when and where to look today.
3. In the fulness of time God sent forth his son. This applies to both the first and second comings. He will come at
the appointed time.
4. He was born in a manger. Consider that a manger can mean a crib, or it can mean a stall. A stall can be a
booth, as the children of Israel dwelt in booths during the Feast of Tabernacles. A booth is a temporary dwelling like
a tent which is another word for tabernacle. But the tabernacle also speaks of God's dwelling place, also his temple
or his Church. When he comes again, he will be born into His Church.
5. His coming was with tidings of great comfort and joy. Luke 2:10. This speaks of the comfort and Joy in the
Holy Ghost that the church will have in the last days outpouring of the Spirit of God. These will be times of great
judgments but those who abide in the Shadow of the Almighty will have a peace that passes all understanding.
6. He was born of a virgin. Matthew 1:23 The Church will be purged and purified in order to show forth his love.
The Bride has played the harlot, but she will have to get back her virginity. So that she can become pregnant before
the wedding.
7. Shepherds in the field were drawn to him. His Glory blazed about as angels visited them. Luke 2:7-8. This
speaks of God's true shepherds, not the hirelings, being drawn into his presence. And coming manifestations of the
Shekinah Glory on the Church. Plus angelic visitations and other supernatural happenings.
8. As Joseph was troubled by his wife's pregnancy, the Church world will be troubled by the revival that's coming.
Yet the word of the Lord in this case is just as it was with Joseph. Fear not, this is of the Holy Ghost! Just as Mary
was pregnant before her wedding, the church will have to be pregnant with Jesus before her wedding.
9. Unto us a child is born. This reference from Isaiah 9:6 takes a new meaning once you see that "US" is the end
time Church. Us. And we are symbolized by the woman in Revelation 12 who brings forth a manchild. This is Christ
being formed in us and shown forth by us.
10. "She shall bring forth a son [unto us a son is given] who shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:21.
The coming of the manchild is also the coming of the great end time harvest.
11. "Thou shalt call his name Emmanuel, that is God with us." When Jesus comes to dwell in His Church, he will
truly be God with us.
12. Wise men came to Jerusalem from the east. Matthew 2:1. When revival and harvest come there will be many
conversions in eastern countries, especially the middle east. Muslims will come to worship him. See Isaiah 60:6-7
13. "When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." Matthew 2:3
Herod here is a type of Satan, and this speaks of Satan's kingdom being troubled by these events.
14. " and all Jerusalem with him." Matthew 2:3, This also speaks of the established religions being troubled as
well.
15. The wise men worshipped with exceeding great joy, Matthew 2:10-11. This will also take place in this revival.
16. When they were come, they opened their treasures. Matthew 2:11. This coming influx of Muslims will greatly
enrich the Church.
17. "And being warned of God …." Matthew 2:12. This speaks again of the Muslims receiving a genuine fear of the
Lord in their conversion. They do not return to serving satan [Herod] but instead begin to follow a new path and to
minister the gospel in their own countries.
18. Matthew 2:13-18 tells of Herod's persecution and attempt to kill the new born messiah. This is a direct parallel
to the persecution to come upon the end time Church. See Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was
cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
19. Matthew 2:19-20 tell of how Jesus comes back to Israel after Herod is dead. When Satan and his kingdom are
under his feet, Jesus will return to earth with all the saints and holy angels with him.
20. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is a type of the Church. In Luke 1:35 we read " The Holy Ghost shall come upon
thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God." This is a description of what is coming upon the Church.
21. "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37 Compare this to Revelation 12:10 " And I heard a
loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, …." 2 Chronicles
6:41 "Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O
LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness." To be Clothed with Salvation and to
operate in His strength, that is Revival. Then The church will be able to do all that the Lord asks, with God nothing
shall be impossible.
22. Luke 1:25 says "Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked upon me, to take away my
reproach among men." This though spoken by Elizabeth and referring to her pregnancy, also applies to the Church.
The reproach on the Church is the exposure of her sin and its judgment. The Lord will remove this reproach by
redeeming his people and by bringing in a great harvest.
23. Luke 1:38 says "Behold the handmaid of the lord, be it unto me according to thy word …" Mary says this as
a type of the Church! When the Church makes this her confession she will be submitting to the Lordship of Jesus.
Some commentators have said that when Mary spoke these words is when she became pregnant. Christ was
formed in her. When the Church "speaks" these words Christ will be formed in his people.
24. Luke 1:45 says "And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were
told her from the Lord." The words 'there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord'
when applied to the Church speak of the fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures. This is the Lord keeping his promises
and confirming his covenant. See also Luke 1:72.
25. Luke 1:46-55 is Mary's prophetic prayer, [my soul doth magnify the Lord]. It speaks of God's redemption of
his people the Church in the end times and the great rejoicing that will go along with that.
26. Luke 1:65-66 speaks of a Fear that came upon all those that dwelt there and how the news spread. This speaks
of a Fear of the Lord that comes with revival and spreads wherever revival goes..
27. In Luke 1:67-79 Zacharias gives a long prophecy, [he hath visited and redeemed his people]. What he says
here also applies to us. It is a depiction of the End Time work of the Lord in His Church.
Doubtless there are many other points that could be made and comparisons taken. We could go on at great length
but would rather not. So you have a lot of pearls in a small package.
I hope these points have provided some insights into the true meaning of Christmas and how it points to the end
times.

A Pattern Of Restitution.
Lars Widerberg
Intercessors Network Linkoping, Sweden, Autumn -98 Dear Friends and Intercessors
Intercessors Network has existed as a task force, as a project oriented fellowship in Sweden, in the
Nordic countries and at a couple of scattered geographical locations throughout the world since 1986.
National prayer-networks operating on all continents are at present involved in mutual supportive and
corrective processes as to the development of the prayer movement, also including and covering
Intercessors Network.
We are currently occupied in the mobilisation of intercession on daily basis in about 65 nations, first of
all in regards to men in positions of power. The wealth of information and experience gathered
through prayer projects, prayer conferences, prayer schools and prayer work in so many different
types of settings and teams allows us to present a Pattern of Restitution, a model for targeted,
purposeful and fruitful intercession touching cities and regions, nations and societies. We ask you to
prayerfully ponder and consider the following presentation of the Pattern of Restitution.
The Pattern constitutes a model for and a plan of action for the rebuilding of a Prayer Altar as a
genuine function of servanthood in our modern societies. We are all forced to admit and confess a
general disability to influence in any substantial measure the spiritual contents of our time. We have
lost the spiritual initiative in this time of disintegration. Such an assessment is not pessimistic but
realistic. Disintegrating societies will find moments of grace and delay through the presence of a
praying people who have made up their mind, declaring firmly that they are not giving in. Every society
in and every situation of disintegration has awakened intercessors to a degree of prophetic insight as
to necessary steps and measurements to provide moments of and starting points for restitution. We
refuse to give in and pray for the same type of miracles once again…..
We find the Pattern in its most concentrated form in 1 Timothy 2:8 - men, individuals measuring up to
accountability and responsibility, are expected to gather on the basis of purity in prayer in every city
and village for each their own city and village.
If the non-Christian were in the position of demanding anything from the Church, this would be it - to
see praying men taking responsibility for the welfare of the society, salt and light, city on the hill. If the
non-Christian were in the position to demand anything from the Church, this would be it - to see the
Church arranged, organised and prepared to function as a House of Prayer for all peoples, Isaiah
56:6-8.
Restitution begins in the reestablishment of prayer and intercession as a way of life, individually and
as a corporate body. Provide a prayer altar for your city, provide a House of Prayer.
A forgotten means of grace lies dormant, a particular pattern or order of God lies ready to be used in
times of crisis. When grace seems to have come to an end and have turned or is about to turn into
judgement, then there is yet an instrument to use to supply grace. The Book displays the concept of
"Solemn Assemblies" - Joel 2:15-16. The concept steers the priestly people into a position of
reconciliation, all Gods people into the dynamics of repentance. The concept positions the Church in
a state of fruitful anguish, interacting with the men in authority in the society. The concept contains and
reflects the dynamics of repentance and restitution , which works with prophetic precision and
irrevocability. The Pattern of Restitution has the Solemn Assembly, the dynamics of reconciliation as
its absolute momentum.
The Pattern of Restitution contains, the way we find it appropriate to divide it, three main features.
1. The rebuilding of the Altar. The people of the Lord has to return to prayer as a pattern of daily living
and existence. The people of the Lord has to return to - may I call it - Kingdom within-Christianity,
which is genuine, deeply rooted and thoroughly displayed fellowship with the Father in Spirit and Truth.
A House of Prayer is the Father’s house, to build such a house is to recapture hope and future, to
regain the spiritual initiative.
Building altars is a family matter, family based intercession builds a wall against alienation. Building
altars is resumed responsibility for cities and regions, intercession is in a sense political. Altars speak
about priorities - death and resurrection. Altars talk about priorities - pray for kings and men in
authority. Without a true reestablishment of the altar there will be no mandate, no room or space for
the Solemn Assembly.
2. The people of the Altar understands the signs of the times. Restitution has a prophetic dimension
as well as a prophetic limitation. The people of the Altar will be given a mandate to speak to the city
on behalf of the Lord. Intercessors are endowed with the ability to draw conclusions about the final
product of the phenomenon and trends of this world by looking at its beginnings. Intercessors are
trained and skilled in finding roots and at the roots apply appropriate remedy. Provision must be
made as to insight into the spiritual mechanisms of a society to substantiate decisions on proper
strategies. Intercession aiming at lasting results is not in a hurry, it avoids beating the air, its very
nature is thoroughness. The Solemn Assembly has to prepare its plead and appeal with veracity and
accuracy.
3. The Solemn Assembly is the very key to restitution. Without repentance - no rebirth, without
sanctification - no possibility to stand face to face with the Father, without serious pursuit - no
restitution. The Solemn Assembly ought to be a major focus and matter of attention for any Christian,
but such an assembly misses the mark if its participants are careless in their personal and corporate
preparation. The House of Prayer holds a seat for everyone, for all peoples. A House of Prayer
focuses on majors when it comes to problems of a society and recruits necessary representation.
Reconciliation is the operative mode and universal instrument in the House of Prayer. Reconciliation
cuts off Gordian knots and resolves conflicts of the past as well as of the present. Any city or village
has the right to see and experience assembly after assembly until peace pockets are established. A
House of Prayer is never closed or dissolved. Houses of Prayer does not change agenda until
answers to prayer are secured.
I firmly and positively believe in calling people together to seminars for the sake of planting motivation
in Churches, prayer units and prayer networks to build Altars, to in a deeper sense understand the
times and to understand the protocol of the Lord. Such seminars would be an effective part of laying
the foundation for Solemn Assemblies aiming at carrying away common guilt and creating peace
pockets in a time of judgment. God aims at restitution.
I propose to you and I dare challenge you to pray about the Pattern of Restitution, to pray about the
necessity of building Altars, to pray about the work with the definitions of the spiritual condition of the
place where you live, to pray about responsible intercession, to pray about the gathering of the people
of the Lord in Solemn Assemblies If you find it to be according to the will of the Lord, I am prepared
and willing to assist as instructor at seminars touching on the issues and subjects mentioned above,
and to assist in preparation of material for the Assembly and also assisting in conducting Assemblies
for the sake of restitution. Rich blessings Lars Widerberg

A "Prophetic Dream"
By: Vincent Aquilino
Posted: 9/30/97
Received: A few years ago.
I received this dream a few years ago. I cannot tell you with certainty that it was from the Lord. But I can tell you
that I still remember it as vividly as the night I received it. I have not shared it to this point, but I now feel that, with
worldwide circumstances the way they are, it is appropriate. It is your job to judge this against scripture (be Berean)
and to hold on to what is good and to reject what is false.
A "Prophetic Dream"
"Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the
prophets." (Amos 3:7)
I was downstairs trying to tune in the radio. My father-in-law came down the stairs and asked me what I was doing.
I told him that I was trying to find some information about something that had happened. I shook my head and said I
didn't understand why I couldn't find out anything about what had happened. Whatever it was, it must have
happened far enough in the past that it was no longer news.
Then I looked out the dining room window. It was snowing. Why was it snowing, I asked? It's summer. It's not
supposed to be snowing. I then went over to the thermostat and noted that the heat was on and the furnace was
running. Again I shook my head and said, it's not supposed to be snowing; what's going on? What has happened?
Then I spoke with my wife and decided to go out and get some groceries. A friend, whom I did not recognize, came
with me. We went outside, but instead of getting into the car, we walked pulling a wagon behind us. We got to the
first corner, where there was a menacing crowd. We ran back into the house to get a rifle. We then were able to go
down the street.
We came to the first store. There was nothing on the shelves. We continued down the street to the next store. There
was nothing on the shelves. Then we came to the third store. There were just a very few items on the shelves. Again
I wondered, what has happened? I didn't understand. The grocer said: "Well what do you expect, considering what
has happened?" "What has happened, I asked?" There was no reply.
We returned home and decided to go down to the stadium and hear someone speak, in the hopes we would find out
what had happened. We went and sat up in the bleachers and listened to the speaker, but we didn't find out what
had happened.
We then went home. I sat in the dining room, gazing at the snow, shaking my head and muttering that it was not
supposed to be snowing.
Finally I called out to the Lord in anguish. Lord, what has happened? The Lord answered me:
The Russians had launched a pre-emptive strike against the Missile silos in the MidWest [it was apparently a limited
exchange]. They had taken out the missile silos. But our submarines counter-attacked. I was even told the death
counts: 6.8 million Americans and 4.6 Million Russians dead.
I flashed to my wife. She had developed a rash or something of the sort. She was worried about radiation. But then
an angel appeared and said not to worry, that "??????" (it was a technical name that I did not understand) would
take care of it. I told the Angel I did not understand the term. The angel said that "Retin-A" would take care of the
problem and not to worry.
Then I was in the dining room again, looking at the snow coming down in summer, shaking my head and saying that
was not supposed to be happening.
This was the end of the dream.
Considering the nearness of the Ezekiel 38 confrontation and the likelihood of some sort of exchange between
Russia and the U.S. (see the previous newsletters on Ezekiel 38), I thought it appropriate to share this at this time. If
the dream has no prophetic significance, then all that would have happened is that you did some extra praying and
sought the Lord's guidance on how to prepare spiritually, mentally and physically. If it is correct, then the Lord has
warned us in accordance with Amos 3:7.
In any case, DO NOT FEAR, but trust Jesus.

Note: 1) The dream had my father-in-law in it, but not my mother-in-law. She went to be with the Lord last
February.
Note: 2) I was surprised a few months ago to come home and find tubes of "Retin-A" sitting on my wife's dressing
table that her Doctor recommended she try for a skin condition.
"Watch and pray, therefore, that you would be counted worthy to escape the judgment that is coming upon
the earth and be able to stand before the Son of Man." (Luke 21:36)
Maranatha!

A Place of Separation
Bryan Hupperts
September 29, 1998
Exodus 8: 20-23. Say to him (Pharaoh), 'Thus says the LORD, "Let my people go, that they may serve me. If
you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you. But on that day I will set apart the
land of Goshen, where my people dwell, so that no swarms of flies shall be there; that you may know that I
am the LORD in the midst of the earth. Thus I will put a division between my people and your people."'
Exodus 9: 23-26. Then Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven; and the LORD sent thunder and hail,
and fire… Only in the land of Goshen, where the people of Israel were, there was no hail.
Exodus 10:21-23. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven that there may be
darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness to be felt… but all the people of Israel had light where they
dwelt.
Goshen was a place in Egypt where God's chosen people lived. It represents a place of separation from the world
system. It was a place of refuge for God's people who lived in Egypt (the world) but were not of the world.
Goshen was a kind of refuge for God's people. As Israel's children began to multiply, the Egyptians began to enslave
them and use them for forced labor. There is something about living a separated life that is really given to Christ that
makes you the target of unpopularity and occasional mockery. I know a dear sister in the Lord who is rumored to be gay
by her coworkers because she refuses to date or participate the sexual side of office politics. She is waiting for the man
God has for her. Righteousness has a price to pay. She is patient, trusting in God, knowing that His chosen man will be
perfect for her.
When the judgments of God began to fall on Egypt and her idols, the people living in Goshen were kept safe. When
Moses called forth a darkness so thick you could feel it, there was LIGHT in Goshen. God's people were spared many of
the judgments. Why? Because they were living in a place of separation, a place of consecration unto God.
Does separation mean retreating from the world? No! Else how could we be salt and light? Separation is a heart issue. It
is an internal standard that says whatever is going on around me, I will honor God in all things. Separation means we love
the sinners without partaking in the sin. Separation means we go heart-first into the world with the Good News about
Jesus but we do not live as if we were a part of its corruption.
Recently a relative of mine called me with a difficult problem and asked me to pray for him. This person hasn't been open
to any of my witnessing about Jesus. I was surprised by his call and asked him why he wanted prayer. His reply?
"Because I know you know God. He's the only one who can help me with this."
Maybe they're listening more than we know.
God makes a real distinction between His people and people of the world who reject him. Living a separate life will mark
you but will protect you, too. For instance, if you don't want sexually transmitted diseases, don't commit the sin. Living
pure will protect you from the horrifying plagues that are even now sweeping the earth.
Holiness is a real refuge for God's people. In the verses quoted above, flies are a symbol of demons in scripture. Satan is
called the Lord of the flies. God put a protective hedge around His people and wouldn't let the devils feast on those who
were called by his name. In the Last Days when men's hearts are failing from fear, the people of God will walk securely
trusting and resting in God. One day we shall sit in judgment of these fallen angels.
When the thunder, hail, and fire fell (speaking of divine judgments from Heaven), God's people were not affected. Why?
Because we were already judged at Calvary! Our sins were taken away. I am convinced that if God's people had left the
land of Goshen, they would have perished in the same judgments. By living in a place of separation from the world, they
were kept safe.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore come out from them, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch
nothing unclean; then I will welcome you.
It is when we yield ourselves fully to Jesus and say, "Lord, not my will but yours," that we become a really useful person
in this present world. By living by the standards (with the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit) of the world to come, we
ironically enough become useful vessels in this lifetime of deliverance for those who are perishing without Christ.
The Egyptians were crying out to their gods when the judgments fell. Yet there was no deliverance because Psalms 4:3
says, "But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him." God hears the
prayers of the righteous.
So is there a price to pay for living holy in an ungodly world? 2 Timothy 3:12 "Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in
Christ Jesus will be persecuted." That kind of persecution is a promise in the Word of God. You become set against the
ebb and flow of the world and people think you're crazy. But there is an even greater price for not living a separated life.
Just ask Lot's wife.
As God is judging this world, as economic turmoil sweeps through country after country who have worshipped mammon
their god, as hurricanes wash away city after city, as sexual disease plagues continue to kill, as all of the idols of Egypt
are judged and shown to be barren and powerless to save, God will protect His people - indeed He will prosper and bless
- those who will live in a place of separation. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and that wisdom will keep
you safe when there is no safe place to flee.
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under
punishment until the day of judgment.
In the story of the judgments on Egypt, the greater story was the final deliverance of God's people into the Promised
Land. One day our Lord Himself shall return with a shout and we shall ever be with Him! Until that day, live a life of
separation from sin that is pleasing to the Lord. I saw commercial about using "protection" during immorality because it
would minimize your chances of getting STD's. Don't participate in the sin and you will have perfect "protection."
Holiness rules!

The Apocalypse Begins

by JoAnn Glasco
Agriculture is in a bind,
And the erratic stock market
Is not far behind;
Daily living is in a decline -
The long-term effects will begin to wreck

Storehouses and granaries of systems
That have previously been held in check.
Vast fields now lay barren

The ground not producing or giving its yield;
Many a dried stalk is seen in a vacant field.
Windswept plains and flooded areas
Cause many to weep now and moan in hysteria.
Oh, people, in a vast nation -

When will you come to a realization?
That this is no ordinary civilization
No century in the history of man will have viewed the
Cataclysmic events coming to this land.
Quickly! Rapidly! Come unto Me,

And I will cover you and shelter you from what is to be;
I will give you victory and number you -
As those who overcome have nothing to lose.

Many battles will be fought and not won
By those who do not trust and worship the Son.
Oh, plush livelihoods and comfort zones

Will be leaving for some, And for a few, already gone;
Expensive vacations and lavish entertainment
Will be events of the past, no longer spent.
The thin thread holding the old ways

Will soon break,
And you will know without a doubt
THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS!
Technology, skills, and dependence upon machines

Have disarmed modern man's ability to survive
For the oncoming time when it will take all to stay alive.
There is something coming upon the earth

That is going to change the predictions and goals of man.
Something new that I've warned you of by My prophets beforehand.

The Calling of the Apostles

by Pam Clark
A few weeks ago, I was invited again as a guest for the local "Praise the Lord" television program here
in Houston. I asked the Lord what was His purpose for this invitation, as He had told me in advance they
would be asking, and He answered, "I want you to make a prophetic declaration for the end time
company of apostles to come forth."
So I said, "OK!" I want to share with you here what I shared on that program.
There is a five fold ministry which (as found in Ephesians 4:11-16) is the government Hand of God in the earth
today. These office ministry callings come from God and are not elected by man, but are special equippings of the
Spirit. These are ministerial office giftings which are full time ministry calls. They are assignments and mandates and
are life long callings. Their job description ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD is:
Ephesians 4:
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers,
12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by
the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head; Christ;
16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the
effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in
love.
That is a long sentence. Let's see if we can break it down:
1. The five fold ministry is called to equip all believers for works of ministry.
2. They are called to the edifying or building up of the Body of Christ at large (all individuals, not just one church or
denomination or select group).
3. They promote unity through faith and knowledge in the Son of God, Jesus.
4. This unity causes a perfecting or a maturing -- and causes people to look and act more like Jesus and to walk in
His anointing and power.
5. The five fold ministry will also equip people not to be deceived or fooled or tricked or misled by the enemy but
will cause them to be wise in this world and ABLE to speak the Truth in love in freedom and liberty and power.
6. As people grow up in Christ, each person does its share with his/her gifting by the Spirit and so we need each
other and nourish each other and grow as His workmanship in the Spirit of Love and these ministers will exemplify
this.
THIS is what the five fold ministry of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher is called to do! This is their
JOB DESCRIPTION according to THE WORD OF GOD.
The five fold ministry is the governmental Hand of God in the earth today administratively and strategically. We are
in a war. We are reclaiming territory from Satan that is ours by God's command and mandate. Therefore God has a
Body that needs officers not only for administration but also strategically for His advancing Kingdom on earth. [Cary
Goodwin has a good explanation of this in his book "Gather My Apostles."]
Isaiah 45:
18 For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: "I am the LORD, and
there is no other.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek Me in
vain'; I, the LORD, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
These ministry officers of God carry positions of authority, but they are positions of leadership, not rulership over
kingdoms. It is a stewardship of leadership for the sake of the common Cause.
There is a difference with the office gift and an anointing for ministry. Since all are called to the work of the ministry,
all will have anointings for ministry but some have leadership anointings with authorities in God to stand in positions
and appoint and train and equip others for ministry. There are not just a few, but many and they work as a team for
the whole Body of Christ.
Someone may have a prophetic anointing, or an evangelistic anointing or pastoral anointing and not have the office
call of ministry in that area. Some will and are in training, but God has many who have a supporting ministry gift who
can assist the minister (such as an associate pastor or staff person), and is a person who can take care of things and
represent the pastor or minister in a manner of truth and representation in integrity if the minister is not there or
available.
Many are able to prophesy and because of that are called prophets and in a sense they are but if they do not stand
as pillars and leaders in the community in the face of oppositions most likely then do not really have the governmental
office calling of prophet although they can minister profusely and eloquently in the gifting. True prophets do not need
a lot of words to establish their gifting.
Obviously, both the anointings for ministry and the office callings of ministry are vital. Most people will have one
strong role but also may be able to operate in other areas, usually with an anointing for ministry. Anointings can
come upon anyone who has the Holy Spirit inside and there are times anointings will for the sake of the need. The
Spirit of Jesus who carries all the anointings and callings can rise up and meet the need anytime as He sees fit, even
though it may not be a particular person's assignment.
Some may be called as office ministers but not seem near as strong in the gift as one with an anointing because the
one with the anointing has applied themselves more diligently to ministry and the Word. Just because a person has a
calling does not mean they operate in that ministry if they do not do the works of that ministry. I am not a driver even
if I have a valid license to drive unless I actually drive the vehicle!
There is a subtle danger here for some with only an anointing to usurp an office calling without the sanction of the
Lord. In Joel 2:17 it says: "Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar,
and let them say, 'Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should
rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?' " There are times when
God calls His Body into accounting and alignment. Those who do not hold these office ministry calls will not be
accepted before His altar with their sacrifices! Only God's true ministers can fill certain positions in His Presence.
Many people have said it is wrong to say you are an apostle or prophet, but that is very much not true. If that is true
for apostles and prophets, then it would also be true for pastors, teachers and evangelists! How absurd! There are
times Jesus told people He was the Messiah for the sake of their faith--the reason He did not do it everywhere was
because He did not want to create a mob of idol worshippers. He wanted people to worship in Spirit and and in
Truth, not for the sake of a position.
I was given the prophetic mandate that day to call forth His apostles in the Name of Jesus and say, "Come forth!
Now is the time." We have had the season of the prophet, and it is still their season for ministry. At the time the
prophets came forth, the Church was very comfortable with the three fold ministry of pastor, teacher and evangelist
in the Church. Just a few years back if someone told someone that God had called them as a prophet, people would
gasp and think, "Blasphemy!" and demand instant supernatural works to ease their mind and of course it didn't quite
work that way. Many prophets took great persecution.
But the prophets pressed through, as God raised up a company of prophets, and now it is not uncommon to hear
that a prophet is going to be on a Christian television program or ministering at a nearby church service. And now
God is raising up a company of apostles.
Not only did the prophets rise up in their season, but the enemy also sent a strong wave of false prophets during this
same time of their "coming out" to confuse, defame, contaminate and defile the true prophetic ministry. At first many
people were so excited to see anything called "a prophet" that they were willing to receive almost anyone, and are
just now open to receive true Biblical teaching on discerning in this area.
I see the same thing happening with the apostles. The Church is in a ready position to receive the apostles of God
but the enemy is most certainly also sending out a wave of a false apostolic move to confuse and bewilder and get
off track any body he can.
God has given His Body His supernatural Spiritual gifts for strategy and administration, equipping and witnessing
and for breaking off the bondages of the enemy. But we also must remember that the enemy, Satan, who once
walked in an incredible anointing also has "gifts of the spirit" for the same purposes for his "kingdom."
There are many young apostles coming up now and many who are already doing great works on the scene who are
not always recognized by the "title" of apostle. What is this young company of apostles facing right now? They are
facing fear, intimidation and false apostles. Not only they, but the rest of the Body needs to discern the true from the
false signs and wonders.
The Scripture says that signs and wonders follow The Word of God. Apostles will walk strong in the Word and
MANY signs and wonders will follow their ministry, but we also must remember that the Scripture teaches that there
are false apostles and that lying signs and wonders would be prevalent in the last days. How we need discernment
against this cunning craftiness and deceit of the enemy by those who lie in wait to deceive!
Mark 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the
Word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
What are apostles? What do they do? The word apostle means "sent one." Often we think of this as a missionary
calling to another country but it goes beyond that. A better word would be delegate. A delegate represents
someone. We send delegates to conferences and conventions to represent us. God sends His delegates to represent
Him and His Will and will confirm that with His signs and wonders and miracles.
But we must judge as Jesus taught us to judge and that is in the Spirit by the fruit of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Miracles that do not promote the Kingdom of God and bless and increase it may not be true miracles of God. Some
people tremble, cry, shake, jerk, laugh and jump but every tremble,cry, shake, jerk, laugh and jump may not be of
God. It very well may be, but it may not. Judge the fruit. Some who get jealous condemn manifestations when
manifestations can be Biblically proved, but Satan also is a counterfeiter.
Apostles will take territory. They will have assignments and mandates. They will take territory for God's Spirit to be
in dominion in those territories. God is calling for a company of apostles to come forth for the end time dominion of
His Spirit through the Church.
Habakkuk 2:14 "For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover
the sea."
Apostles will work well with the other five fold ministers and set order in the Church. When they do it will work and
the evident anointing of God will manifest and witness it, just as it does with the true prophetic word.
Apostles will focus heavily on the resurrection power of Jesus. Many will have had personal visitations of Jesus and
Heaven and into the spirit realms. Again, seek the Scripture and wisdom of God to discern the calling! Familiar and
demonic spirits can imitate the real Spiritual gifts.
Galatians 1:
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have
received, let him be accursed.
Just because someone says they hear from or see angels or even Jesus, if they do not line up with the Scriptures, do
not receive nor believe them. If they want to control you, it is bondage and service to man and not to God. If they
do not want you to go out and minister and spread the Good News of the liberty Christ to who so ever will, it is
NOT GOD! If they bind you to a church or a group and you are not free to go without penalties and
condemnations, it is NOT GOD!
2 Corinthians 3:17 "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
This spirit of "the power of His resurrection" that the apostles walk in is a restoration spirit. It is life giving. It is
restorative in every dimension of your life. They will be known for raising the dead, incredible healings and manifest
miracles. They will rise up to fight in these end times the last enemy, death.
They will be restoring the Kingdom of God back to this earth with signs, wonders and miracles. Instead of just the
beginning twelve, whom Jesus poured the foundation of His ministry into, we will see this gift come forth in a
company of apostles in these last days!
You must also remember that just as the apostles of the Bible were once disciples, that principle still applies today.
One may know they have the appointment of apostle and even declare it, yet we see an imperfect, impetuous and at
times presumptuous person! Remember Peter, considered the leader apostle? The Word is gracious to let us see the
developing stages of His foundational Church apostles as people like unto us, yet holy in anointing.
In Scripture, Paul gives his own testimony, and places where apostles held other apostles accountable in their
works.
I Corinthians 14:
29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
Prophets are subject to prophets for accountability, just as we see the apostles are, evidenced in Galatians chapter
2.
The apostolic calling is not to be feared or awed in the sense that it leads to idol worshipping. Apostolic people are
in daily need of the work of the Cross just as every other minister and Christian is. They are not "super people"
beyond the rest of the Body, even though their work is great. We need each other! EVERY joint supplies and
nourishes!
Apostles do not rank themselves above others, they consider themselves servants.
2 Corinthians:
11 I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you;
for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders
and mighty deeds.
13 For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to
you? Forgive me this wrong!
Many had the fear that when prophets came on the scene, they came to take over the churches. That spirit is not the
spirit of a true prophet. It is a team ministry with different giftings. The prophets are not "over" the pastor, teacher,
and evangelist, any more than the apostles are "over" the other four fold ministries. EVERY office and ministry gifting
is to be respected in its position and for the work they do.
Often God will put people in positions of anointings for ministry to better equip them for team ministry and will
especially do this with the apostles. It is not a "higher" position in the sense it can take the place of another needed
ministry ordained by God. They cannot.
Because of the gift for team ministry, we will see apostles bringing forth order in the church as they have the gift of
establishing that works. Again, many may say they are apostles and prophets, but if you do not see the fruit (or
evident manifestation) of the Spirit, be discerning as to what you believe and receive.
True apostles will be of humble spirit. When Paul and Barnabus were in Lystra, they chose this posture.
Acts 14:
11 Now when the people saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in the Lycaonian language,
"The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!"
12 And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates,
intending to sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude,
crying out
15 and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and
preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth,
the sea, and all things that are in them..."
Here we see these men humbly taking new territory for Christ. Apostles will be known by their work and are to be
respected by the anointing they carry and will be endorsed by God.
Many, if not most apostles will have seen Jesus and received direct words from Him of assignment, but they are also
called to respect one another's territory. The seal of their ministry is their work as Paul declares.
I Corinthians 9:
9:1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not ye my work in the
Lord?
2 If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the
Lord.
Paul refused to take advantage of his position. If anyone takes advantage of the gifts by taking improper advantages,
they are operating in a wrong spirit. We see many today taking advantage of people because of their spiritual gifts.
This is a great temptation that we all must be sensitive to--not for others only, but ourselves!
We are not to be infatuated with our titles, whatever they are, but involved in the work! And there will be sufferings
in the work as we fellowship in Jesus' sufferings for the sake of others coming into the Kingdom of Christ, but there
will also be great joy set before us as well.
I Corinthians 4:
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been
made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are
distinguished, but we are dishonored!
11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless.
12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure;
13 being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until
now.
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you.
15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in
Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
16 Therefore I urge you, imitate me.
I bless you in your ministry.

A Recent President's Breakfast

News Item via Russel White
February 6, 1998
President Clinton is asking Americans to pray for him as he faces "a difficult decision" regarding a possible military
showdown with Iraq. The president made his remarks to political and religious leaders at the 46th annual National Prayer
Breakfast in Washington, D.C., Feb. 5. He did not mention allegations about sexual affairs, but said he was thankful for
the prayers, letters, and scriptural instruction he had received in recent weeks. "I ask that they continue," Clinton said.
...At the breakfast, the president read from the first book of Kings, "I am only a little child and I do not know how to carry
out my duties. Your servant is here among people you have chosen, a great people too numerous to count or number. So
give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to
govern this great people of yours?" Clinton asked for prayers that he "might act justly and love mercy and walk humbly
with our God." Clinton said he repeats that verse, from the book of Micah, to himself "on a very regular basis." ...At the
breakfast, Billy Graham made his first public appearance since being hospitalized with pneumonia in December. "I don't
know when I've been so moved at a Prayer Breakfast as this one," Graham said. "I feel the Holy Spirit is bringing us
together and speaking to us."
..."Help us to see ourselves as we truly are in Your sight -- as men and women who are subject to the temptations of
pride and power and flesh, and who need your forgiveness and your strength," Graham prayed. "Help us to remember
that You teach us that we are all sinners and every one who is in this place needs repentance and forgiveness, including
me. May we all come to the Cross, and by your grace help us to turn to You for the forgiveness and mercy we need."
...Graham prayed for God to "send the strong, driving wind of the Holy Spirit across our land to bring us a new breath of
joy and freedom in serving You. May we see a national and international revival. Renew our vision, restore our faith, and
rekindle our desire to love and serve You and serve each other."
...During a taped interview with talk-show host Larry King, Graham said he won't point his finger at Clinton, and has "no
knowledge of [Clinton's] moral life." He said his "good friend of many, many years" has "real difficulties and needs a lot of
prayer, a lot of love, a lot of understanding." For Clinton's critics, Graham cited John 8:7, "He that is without sin among
you, let him cast the first stone."

Apostleship
In 1989 the Lord started talking to me about apostleship, and apostleship standards of holiness.
The following is from a word to a particular church at the time.
I am the Lord Your God, Creator of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are filled with My glory. Blessed is He who
comes in the name of the Lord. Blessed is he who sits in the secret counsel of the Most High. "Apostle" means sent
one.
There are many of you who would be sent if you are willing to count the cost. Apostles were sent to proclaim the
acceptable year of the Lord, to bring the good news to the poor, lost and hungry.
They prophesied and worked miracles in My name and they established churches and appointed pastors and teachers.
THEY WERE NOT PERFECT MEN WHEN I CALLED THEM !!!
They were fishermen, tax collectors, scholars, a persecutor of Christians.
I the Lord, called them BY MY SOVREIGN HAND.

One was a mere teenager, (John) and to him I revealed the secrets of God.
John the Baptist was called from the womb.
Samuel was given to Me before his conception.
Elisha was appointed by Elijah.
I do not use ONE WAY to call those whom I HAVE CHOSEN. The Spirit of the Lord hovers over the earth. He goes to
and fro, and seeks out those whom I've appointed. I ALONE know the hearts of men. Justice , mercy and faith are the
weightier matters the law, I've said. The heart is deceitful above all else, even in the best of men. Did not My own
disciples argue over who was first in the kingdom of God? What is man, but a vapor, that is here today and gone the
next. But you boast in your arrogance! Next year I'll do this or that, buy and sell. All such boasting is evil!
I WILL confirm My appointments.

I WILL place men where I WILL.
I AM a jealous GOD.
Cast down your petty jealousies and your insecurities.
Rebuke fear !
DO NOT EMBRACE the accuser of the brethren.
Do not fight against flesh and blood. but against the powers and principalities, and the rulers of darkness of this age.
The enemy can see whom I've appointed and seeks to bring down those who are Mine. This you should be familiar with
since hasn't he done this to you ?
PRAY and set your face before me continually and I will reveal to you MY plan. Do not draw conclusions from your
fleshly concerns.
DO NOT WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER!!!!
WAR against the enemy of your soul !!!! Battle on your knees. I will not disappoint you!
DO NOT claim defeat.
DO NOT CLAIM insecurity!
Do not play into the hands of the enemy.

YOU ARE MY CHOSEN ONES.
YOU ARE MY BRIGHT LIGHTS AND SHINING STARS !!!
Let your light so shine before men that they might know that GOD IS LOVE ! That I am abundant in MERCY and quick to
forgive.
LOVE, do not hate. Forgive ! Do not judge. Pray for. Do not condemn. GIVE ! Do not hold on to the things of this world
Do not doubt My hand on your lives to serve Me. Crush self sufficient pride, and fear of failure ! If I am with you, who can
be against you?
PRAY for COMPASSION !! LET ME be your defense !! ALLOW ME CONTROL OF MY CHURCH !!! Do not quench the
Holy Spirit ! WAIT on ME! I am NOT a bully to press down the hearts of men. Are you ready to lay down your lives and
pick up mine?
Remember the parable of the wedding feast ? Many are called but FEW are chosen. Unless your love exceeds that of
the Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of God. LOVE bears all, never fails.
Love covers a multitude of sins. Love casts down all fear !
Set your face to the winds ! Plant your feet on solid ground. BELIEVE and TRUST in the Lord Your God. Delight yourself
in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
RELEASE the captives ! Heal the brokenhearted and afflicted! There IS a balm in Gilead. The blood of the Lamb has paid
the price for ALL who are called by My Name.
Arise those of you who are asleep and complacent at heart, for this is the finest hour. I will tell you a riddle. The Son will
set in the east. I come quickly and My rewards come with Me. To those who overcome I will give the crown of life. You
shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. I WILL build My church and the gates of hell
will not prevail against it !
Another time the lord spoke to me that Apostolic power requires standards of apostolic holiness. Therefore come and
spend time at His feet. Get the healing He has for you, go through the fire, because He is waiting on the other side and
greater things you will do in His name if you count the cost.
Lovingly Yours in Christ,

Priscilla at: En Eglaim@aol.com

A Prophetic Warning
Kathleen Pirl
My dear ones,
Sunday my pastor had a prophetic word for the body of Christ that I myself am currently experiencing. I have a
"forerunner ministry" which means that I get to go through whatever is next in the spirit as a sign to the body of Christ.
The pastor's word was that the spirit of antichrist that is operating through our presidency as a spirit of blame shifting,
slander, distortion of truth, and a redefining or shifting of accepted definitions of words will come against the body of
Christ soon as an onslaught of persecution.
This will happen as the distinguishing between the righteous and the wicked continues. The sheep will be separated from
the goats. It will also take place within the judicial systems of our country as a public demonstration.
The Lord will then rise up vindicating His servants.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed. "lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices." 2
Cor 2:11
He is faithful in His love,

Kathleen Pirl

Call to Prayer for Arab Christians

by Dan Wooding
This Item appeared in Joel News issue 200 ; JN200-1. Date: May 11, 1998
Sunday 7th May, the first Sunday after Pentecost, is a day to pray for the persecuted church. This report by Dan
Wooding helps to understand the needs of the persecuted church.
In the midst of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace negotiations, Steve Haas, President of Prayer for the Persecuted Church has
issued from Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus Christ, an urgent request on behalf of Arab Christians in the Middle East.
He has asked Christians around the world to "join in prayer for our Arab Christians brothers and sisters who face
discrimination and tremendous hardship due to their faith in Jesus Christ."
Haas, who was on a visit to Egypt, Jordan and the West Bank area of Israel, met with Arab Christian leaders undergoing
difficulty and in some cases persecution for their Christian faith.
"While in Egypt, I encountered Egyptian pastors whose experience could more easily be described as religious
apartheid," Haas said. This, he added, included "limited educational and job opportunities, harassment and a serious
form of second-class citizenship. "In Upper Egypt in recent times," he went on, "there have been several Christian
assassinations. A decision for Christ in the Middle East often means a huge personal sacrifice!"
While in Jordan, Steve Haas interviewed a Christian businessman whose business had been almost destroyed by arson.
"The previous year, a Christian campsite he sponsored had been firebombed by Muslim radicals according to the official
police report," said Haas. "He is now living under a death threat and with the prior crimes against his family, he's taking
the warning very seriously."
"In the West Bank, Palestinian Christians are finding their hold on community quite tenuous due to pressure from the
Israeli government and sometimes their own police."
"In Jordan and Egypt, government officials have been stymied by radical individuals and groups who are tied to the
religious majority, leaving them often impotent in truly protecting the rights of minority faiths," Haas stated. "Christians
fear violence from radical Moslems and aren't being properly protected because the government is often fearful as well. I
discovered a number of instances where the governments clearly supported Islamic extremists."
RESILIENT FAITH
Also traveling on the fact-finding mission is Terry Madison, President of Open Doors with Brother Andrew USA. "The
Middle East is the cradle of our faith, yet many of us in American churches know little of the Body of Christ that
perseveres despite great opposition for within and without the region, " he stated. "Not only are they besieged as a
minority religion within largely Islamic societies, they feel totally forgotten by the Christian community worldwide," he
continues.
"How often does your family, or your church think to pray for persecuted Christian brothers and sisters in Iran, Iraq,
Egypt, Jordan or Arab Christians in Israel?" Madison asks. "Many of us don't pray because we don't realize that
Christians exist in these and other Islamic societies. In many cases, the church has gone from a position of strength,
sometimes dating back to the beginning of Christianity, to one of weakness due to immigration, persecution, and lack of
support for the Body of Christ universal."
WHAT CAN WE DO?
When Haas was asked what we in the West could do for our Arab Christian family, he said, "The answer from these
believers is automatic: 'Please pray for us.'"
While in Bethlehem Haas also announced the date for the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP).
On November 15, over 100,000 churches across America will come before the throne on behalf of their brothers and
sisters worldwide. The 1997 event drew over 60,000 churches to prayer for beleaguered communities of faith worldwide.
"Our greatest need is good information on the state of the Church internationally." We're making available a resource kit
that should help individuals and churches do just that. This kit will include a video, magazine, program materials, prayer
map and brochure to aid Christians in becoming informed and informing others. Until June 10, you can order the resource
kit by calling 847/718-0560 (USA). Also, a website is now available for information, news updates, photographs, daily
prayer guides and addresses of groups working in the area of religious freedom. The address for the IDOP website is
www.persecutedchurch.org.
Prayer for the Persecuted Church (PPC), which organizes the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church in
the US has as its goals to inform the church and concerned others of the plight of persecuted Christians, issue a call to
national prayer and direct persons in taking appropriate action. As a an independent non-profit organization, PPC is
supported by individuals, churches and religious liberty organizations like Open Doors, The Voice of the Martyrs,
Freedom House and Christian Solidarity International.

The Arabian Peninsula

An Opening at the Heart of the 10/40 Window
by Luis Bush
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and
streams in the wasteland. ISAIAH 43:19-20
THE ARABIAN PENINSULA is a land of stark contrasts. Vast oil reserves lie hidden under equally vast
uninhabited deserts. Enormous wealth is displayed in gleaming modern cities, while nomadic tribesmen in the desert
cling tenaciously to their ancient way of life. The Arabian Peninsula is the very heart of Islam, and its cultures are
isolationist by nature. It is also a land in great transition. To reap a financial harvest from the enormous oil reserves,
the Peninsula's national leaders have turned to western technology. After centuries of protective isolation, the people
of the Arabian Peninsula have been brought face-to-face with the rest of the world during the last half-century. The
Peninsula has been considered by some to be impenetrable with the gospel, but God is miraculously moving in the
region today.
As I have visited most of the countries in the Arabian Peninsula and met with Christians throughout the region, it has
become very clear to me that this is the hour of spiritual opportunity.
WHY IS THE ARABIAN PENINSULA SO IMPORTANT?
Is the Middle East - and specifically the Arabian Peninsula - truly reachable? Most western Christians believe it is
not. But after you read this article I hope you will agree with an increasing number of Arab nationals and
internationals who respond to that question with a resounding "Yes!"
Stereotypes abound in the Middle East, especially negative stereotypes about Arab people. It is an area of striking
contradictions and conflicts: - excessive wealth and abject poverty;
- ancient Christian centers in the heart of the Muslim world;
- the old in conflict with the new;
- western political ideologies and materialism in conflict with eastern culture;
- a society in which passion mingles with tolerance.
Twenty-one Arabic-speaking countries are spread across North Africa, the Central Middle East and the Arabian
Peninsula. Together they have a population of some 270 million people, and that number is growing by half a million
every month.
Seven of those countries are in the Arabian Peninsula: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab
Emirates and Yemen. These nations are the focus of this article.
THE HEART OF THE 10/40 WINDOW
The core of the world's unreached people live in a window that extends from West Africa to East Asia, from ten
degrees north to forty degrees north of the equator. This region, called "The 10/40 Window," encompasses nearly
three billion people, including most of the world's Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists.
The Arabian Peninsula lies at the very heart of the 10/40 Window. No region of the world has been so resistant to
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Peninsula is the core of Islam. The two holiest cities in the Islamic world - Mecca
and Medina - are in Saudi Arabia, the largest nation on the Peninsula.
There are over one billion - ie. 22% of the world's population -- Muslims in the world. Each is required to pray
toward the city of Mecca five times every day. Each year more than two million of them make the Hajj, or
pilgrimage, to Mecca.
A massive Islamic missionary effort is coordinated by the Muslim World League in Mecca. Vast sums of money are
used to propagate Islam around the world: aid to countries considered sympathetic, building mosques, sending
missionaries, literature, radio, etc. The world's largest printing presses are located here, and they churn out 28 million
copies of the Koran every year for worldwide distribution.
If we are serious in our commitment to provide a valid opportunity for every person to experience the truth and
saving power of Jesus Christ, we cannot ignore the compelling realities of the Arabian Peninsula.
THE HEART OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE PENINSULA
Many Christians think of the Old Testament as the story of God's dealing with Israel, His chosen people. But from
Creation to Abraham, there was no unique "People of God." Throughout this vast expanse of time, God was dealing
with "the nations" (Gen. 1-11). That included the ancestors of today's Arabs, the people of the Arabian Peninsula.
When God called Abraham, a man who lived in a pagan culture, He promised that through Abraham "all nations"
would be blessed (Gen. 12:3). Solomon, following God's instructions, built his Temple for "all nations" (2 Chr. 6:32-
33). Isaiah, representing the Old Testament prophets, reaffirms God's desire that "all nations" should turn to Him
(Isa. 49:6, 56:1,3).
In the New Testament, Christ's parting charge to His disciples was that they should carry the Good News of His
love to all people everywhere. That Great Commission certainly included - and includes today - the neighbors to the
east of Palestine, the people of the Arabian Peninsula.
THE ARABIAN PENINSULA IS ACCESSIBLE
"He turned the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs" (Ps. 107:35).
The growing flow of internationals into the Arabian Peninsula brings labor and expertise for building the nations'
infrastructure and providing needed services. It also brings many Christians to the region. More than seven of every
ten residents in Qatar and Bahrain are expatriates. There are at least 420,000 expatriate Christians in the entire
Peninsula.
GLOBAL PRAYER FOCUS ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA IS INCREASING DRAMATICALLY
Christians within the Peninsula comment: "We have seen great gains in the last five years in this part of the Middle
East. More people are praying for this part of the world than ever before in history! That gives us confidence, and a
spiritual mandate to enter and be fruitful in the land. With this kind of heavenly prayer cover we know the Arabs
who we care about so much will have a chance to hear. Your prayers continue with our servants on the ground led
by the Holy Spirit to set the people free!"
Growing interest in the 10/40 Window is focusing prayer for a spiritual breakthrough in the Arab world. In the
October 1993 "Praying through the Window" emphasis, more than 1,200 local churches and some 21 million
Christians adopted one of the Arab countries - many of them in the Arabian Peninsula - for special prayer. On-site
intercessory teams came to each of the countries for days of prayer and fasting, asking God for a spiritual
breakthrough.
In 1995 there was a further global prayer focus on the megacities of the 10/40 Window. An estimated 36 million
Christians participated in that effort. Millions prayed for the megacities of the Arabian Peninsula.
In 1997 global prayer was focused on the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. During "Praying through the Window
IV" (October 1999) millions of Christians worldwide are expected to pray specifically for the Arabian Peninsula,
with a special focus on the strategic towns.
THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ARABIAN PENINSULA
The history of the people of the Arabian Peninsula begins in Genesis 10 where the beginnings of nations are
described. The bulk of the population of Arabia are descendants of Shem (ie. Semitic peoples - the Hebrews,
Arabs, Arameans). There were two primary peoples who inhabited Arabia. One was largely nomadic, wandering
with their flocks over the great deserts, which lie, between the river Euphrates and the center of the peninsula. The
other group was the inhabitants of the rain-fed uplands of Yemen. Camels were domesticated in Arabia between
1500-1200BC.
The Arabs were the nomadic peoples of the central northern part of Arabia. The word itself is probably derived
from a Semitic root related to nomadism. It was the Romans who used the term Arabia to cover the whole of the
peninsula. It was with these nomadic peoples that Ishmael and his twelve sons - together with the children of Esau -
joined. There are still Bedouin tribes in Northern Arabia named after two of the sons of Ishmael.
The southern peoples of Arabia are also basically Semitic peoples, descendants of Joktan and Cush. The source of
their wealth in earlier times was their position on trade routes from India, East Africa, South East Asia and China, as
well as their supplies of frankincense. Later, in the 4th century BC, Himyaritic peoples from the Horn of Africa
dominated the area. Navigation of the Red Sea was difficult and dangerous owing to coral reefs and pirates. Most of
the goods traded were carried by camel from South Yemen up to the Mediterranean Sea. This lucrative trade
produced a wealthy and civilized community in Yemen. The Queen of Sheba, who paid a very famous visit to
Solomon, was a Queen of Yemen. Halfway between Yemen and the Mediterranean cultures lies a small desert
settlement called Mecca. Mecca was a staging post for this caravan trade.
Judaism, and to a lesser extent Christianity, had penetrated into the area by the 6th century AD. But most of the
peoples of northern Arabia were worshippers of spirits. They made pilgrimages to sacred stones. These places were
thought to be residences of spirits, jinn or afrit. Slowly monotheism was beginning to be increasingly accepted.
CHRISTIANS WITHIN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA HAVE GREAT VISION FOR WHAT GOD
CAN DO IN THEIR COUNTRIES
In one Arabian Peninsula country Christian leaders of different nationalities met together in preparation for the Global
Consultation of World Evangelization (GCOWE 95) in Seoul, Korea. They reviewed the present realities and
current trends of their region, dreaming/visualizing by faith where God would want the church to be by December
31, 2000. ("My dream is that the Christians in the Peninsula will love the people of the Peninsula." "My dream is to
see a church started for every tribe." "My dream is to see people reach out to every village.") ("My dream is that the
Lord will extend to the Arabian Peninsula a special measure of grace and mercy to receive a Gospel message
without resistance or deception of Satan." "My dream is that every mall will have a bookstore selling Bibles.") ("My
dream is that the women of the Arabian Peninsula have liberty in Christ.")
WHY SHOULD WE FOCUS ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA?
Because God loves these people and has given us promises that He will move in this area (Isaiah 42, 60:7-8). Also,
because it is a place where there are tribes who have never heard and we need to tell them in order to 'hasten the
Day' that Jesus can come back (2 Peter 3:12 and Matt. 24:14). A new spirit of unity is growing in the region, laying
the foundation for even greater partnership. An Arab national Christian has said, "We have thought less than even
one half of what God is about to do here."
It is time for God's people around the world to get involved. National Christian initiatives are growing. The ground
has been prepared through careful study. Cooperation and partnership are increasing. Intensive global prayer is
increasingly focusing on the Arab world. A respected international working in the area has said that he expects a
spiritual harvest in the Arab world in the near future "because of the growing awareness and prayers of the saints
around the world."
Expectation of nationals and expatriates is growing. One long-term Christian worker in the area summarized it this
way: "We are in the generation in which the Arab world will see a dramatic spiritual breakthrough." An Arab
historian/theologian told me: "I believe an outpouring of God's Spirit is coming soon to the church in the Arab world.
I have been a student of church history for many years. Every other region has experienced revival except ours!
Now it is our turn." So be it, Lord!
How can you pray?
Pray for national leaders. Pray God's blessing on the heads of government and other ministers and officials. Ask
God to give them wisdom to rule their countries with justice and righteousness. The heads of the Arabian Peninsula
nations are:
Bahrain: Sheikh Isa bin Sulman Al-Khalifa
Kuwait: Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah
Oman: Sultan Qaboos bin Said
Qatar: Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani
Saudi Arabia: King Fahad bin Abdul Aziz
United Arab Emirates: Sheikh Zaid bin Sultan al-Nahayan
Yemen: Ali Abdallah Salah
Pray for the Christians in the Arabian Peninsula, and for their spiritual revival and missionary awakening.
Pray for the local pastors and churches who are ministering among the international peoples living in the Peninsula.
Pray for the strategic cities and towns of the Peninsula.
Pray that the Muslim people might come to know Issa (Jesus) not only as the prophet but also as the Son of God.
Pray for the radio and satellite television ministries reaching into the Arabian Peninsula:
Trans World Radio, HCJB World Radio,
IBRA Radio, Far East Broadcasting
Association, SAT-7, Middle East Television
and other agencies.

Vision Of The Archers On The Wall

Catherine Brown
This is a vision which moved me very much. I believe it is on the Lord's heart today ...VISION - MONDAY 27 JULY
The Lord awakened me this morning with a vision of many archers upon a wall. The wall seemed to span to the ends of
the earth. The number of archers was too many to be counted and went on as far as the eye could see. I knew
immediately that this was a holy army, raised by the Lord's hand. I knew that this was the first time so many had been
called to this place, I knew that there was a hushed expectation, a waiting upon the Lord. And I could see that the
bowmen were pointing into the nations, every nation upon the face of the earth was within striking distance of their
arrows. And I could see that there were legions of angels poised also in this moment of silence before the Lord gave His
command.
And the Lord spoke, "I am raising up an army of archers, the quivers from My bow, the sons of My Righteousness, says
the Lord. They will fire My word from the watchtowers and My Word will rain upon the nations, for I am doing a new things
says the Lord. We are entering a new phase of warfare.
For I have sent the snow and rain to water the earth and to bring forth seed for the sower and bread for the eater. But now
I am sending forth My Word, which is an unending and a mighty River. These are days when you will see the desert
places bloom - if you will but ask in faith, believe in faith and receive in faith.
Seek not a name for this new move of My Spirit. It is neither third wave nor new wave - it is My Kingdom come, says the
Lord. Just preach My Kingdom come, My will be done on earth as it is in Heaven and believe that I am coming again for
My people. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and proclaim that My Kingdom is at hand, for I am nearer that
I have ever been before. Look after the widows and the orphans. This is My sovereign Word to you My people - when you
ignore the widows and the orphans you profane My Holy Name by this action. Feed the hungry and clothe those who are
naked, for surely in these days I have given you every means by which you might meet their needs.
Come together under My covenant, come into My temple, bring the multitudes with you that they might know My glory,
says the Lord. Tell them about their Father in Heaven. Tell it to the fatherless children and tell it to the nations. Tell them
I have known them since before they were born and I hold each one of them with tenderness upon My heart. Tell them
that I am awaiting their homecoming with great joy. Speak to Jerusalem with tenderness.
And as the darkness increases upon the earth know that I am increasing My Light, My presence. Take care that you live
as children of the Light, let no part of you be in darkness lest you give the devil a foothold. For so long My children you
have thought this was about the sun setting on your anger. Look again into My word and see that it is this and so much
more. Put on My Virtue that I might reveal, by My Spirit any and all unwholesomeness and impurity within your hearts.
Do not become complacent in your salvation. Remember, My precious children that you are deceived to the extent that
you do not see things through My eyes.
Look again to the cross, look always to Me for direction, for inspiration, for confirmation. Let Me be your best
expectation. If only more of you would truly lay down your lives for Me, truly nail 'self' to the cross, but so many of My
children pay these words only lip service. There is a fullness in Me that My Body has not yet attained and it is My
deepest desire to pour out Myself upon you in far greater ways and measure. If only you would have the faith to ask, to
ask for it My way says the Lord. I wait for the men and women of faith to ask Me. That is all you have to do, is ask with
faith in your hearts. Faith is not a test says the Lord, it is My gift to you. Faith is not a trick, it is My eternal promise. Lay
hold of it will all your hearts and ask in My name and I will be quick to answer. Lay aside the thinking of this world and
look to Me for the desires of your heart
But you must first remember that you are to serve one another, that the first shall be last and the last shall be first. Mean
it with all of your heart when you say "for it is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me". "You will be astounded by
this in its fullest revelation.
Know the seasons says the Lord. Learn about the Harvest. Understand that I must appoint heavenly workers for the field
and also earthly workers for the field. Search again the scriptures for My deep truths. Beware of false doctrine and bring
all things into the Light that they may be tested.
Let the trumpet call go forth to every nation. Let the battle for the sons of Righteousness begin."
And with this I could see that the bowmen upon the walls let loose wave after wave after wave of living arrows into the
nations. And the arrows represented the sons of righteousness, they represented the sons of the living Lord. The Lord's
word was going forth into the nations, and with each arrow there was an incredible burst of Light, a radiance of the Lord's
presence and with each arrow were also despatched legions of angels. And the earth was becoming so full of His glory -
truly as the water of the oceans cover the earth, such was the glory of the Lord being released into the nations. Never
before has the Lord raised so many of His sons to serve Him. Oh hear the word of the Lord sons and daughters and
come forth for the King, that He might send you as an arrow of His word into the nations.

A Reincarnation
[A response to
The King of Babylon
by Bryan Hupperts]
by Bob Neuman
Dear Bill and Bryan,last night i spent nearly two hours attempting to compose this post. somehowit was lost in the attempt to post
so i will try again. i will send the same to bothof you.from Feb 19 to the 25th i was attending conferences in west palm beach,
andTampa, Fl. the 14th Annual International Prophecy Conference sponsored byGOD'S News Behind the NEWS featured such
speakers as Hal Lindsey, GrantJeffrey, J R Church, Perry Stone Jr., Scott Pierson, and a powerful statement byAvi Lipkin. Present
KNOWLEDGE confirmations to all the posts that you havepublished in the past few weeks.Bryan commented about his piece THE
KING OF BABYLON that it did not fitthe "THUS SAITH THE LORD" pattern. Much Revelation Knowledge coming todaydefies
religious stereotypes. GOD has HIS own agenda and we all are seeing itjust to begin to play before us. so i would like to give you
some confirmation and foundation concerning the article...
>The King Of Babylon

>Bryan Hupperts
>February 18, 1998
>I have been praying over the situation with Iraq (ancient Babylon). While I do not have a "thus says the Lord," I do have
a sense that we do not understand what we're getting in to. We've been blinded by pride to seeing that God has an
agenda to fulfill. His secret purposes will be manifested to the world.
>That Saddam is even alive is a sign of the protection of God. He is alive and breathing for a divine purpose. If you read
the history of ancient Babylon, God used them to take His people prisoner. They>were a vehicle of judgment on His
OWN people.
Bryan, 'we' have no idea what is really going on. The politicians may, but all their actions seem to point to the idea that they have
no understanding of Saddam or his people. Why is our main negotiator a woman when the people she is to deal with consider
women as property to be sold or bartered? Besides that she, the Secretary of State, the Sec of Defense Mr Cohen, AND the Nat
Security Adviser are all Jewish? [at least by name]? some strange coincidence? or the simple fact that there is a demonic agenda
underneath everything we see.When Bill Clinton and Tony Blair got in front of the cameras they stated that Saddam was the
greatest obstacle to the ideas of global peace and a "new world order". Besides that there is a definitely a creepy feeling in my gut
when 2 liberal pacifists attempt to "rattle sabers" on CNN.
As to Saddam and Iraq, the west armed him while he fought against Iran, knowing exactly what motivates him. GOD has always
used an outside force to bring judgement to those who were warned. The fact that Saddam is still in power is one thing. The fact
that he has rebuilt and rearmed is another. Add to that the years to indoctrinate his people against the Americans who are inflicting
hardship and suffering is what breeds the fanaticism required for martyrs in the next Jihad.
>I have a chilling intuition that it might happen again.
>Saddam, it is believed, has built biological and chemical weapons that could kill millions. There is not doubt in my
thinking that he is a homicidal madman. King Nebuchadnezzar also went mad - and was restored finally to sanity, his
throne, and brought to saving faith in God.
Did you know that Saddam has for years openly stated that he is the 'reincarnation' of Nebuchadnezzar the Great? That is why he
has three great agendas...and they all repeat what Neb 1 did. 1st is to rebuild the city of Babylon. He began this during the last
years of the Iran-Iraq wars. Some sources say he has spent as much money on this as he has spent on military escalation. Oh, have
you heard about the posters? Ol' Saddam likes to push his 'vision' of his "brave new world" by printing posters of himself...as King
Neb2. Dressed in supposedly Regal Babylonian robes, in the ancient temples. He wants to restore the pagan pantheon. While we
all think of him as Moslem, moslems do not believe in reincarnation. The do not rebuild pagan temples and worship in them.
Babylon has been completed and has been the scene of galas, concerts, and symposiums for the NEW AGERs he has gathered
around him.
amazingly all 3 of his agendas are identical to those of another recent madman, Adolf Hitler. Saddam, like Adolf before him is
fascinated by the occult and consumed with the desire for power.
His 2nd Agenda is to restore the Empire and to dominate world affairs. This is where we are now. He has in the last two years came
into agreement with Iran that Jihad must be again taken up against THE GREAT SATAN and all the infidels who have perverted
the TRUE FAITH. In simple english they must destroy western culture that has eaten away at their fundamental teachings.
Pornography, Drugs, Alcohol, Democracy, Abortion, Homosexuality/Lesbianism, Feminism are the weapons we are using against
them. AND YOU KNOW GUYS...they're right !
all this leads to his third agenda, the destruction of Israel and the recapturing of Jerusalem. While Iran, Syria, Turkey, and Egypt
hate and fear him they are eager to use him...as he uses them.
one of his favorite posters is of him riding a white stallion riding to victory...i have heard from seeing this back in 1991 Yassar
Arafat pledged the support of the Palestinians to his cause saying that they awaited his arrival upon the MT of Olives and his
entering Jerusalem by the eastern gate. that he would be welcomed and crowned.....that is why the PLO supported Iraq in the last
war and cheered as scuds landed in Israel....they awaited their deliverer. strange perversion of biblical prophecy?
>I cannot help but wonder if the Holy Spirit is drawing Saddam to Christ. If this happens, how many million Muslims
might follow him?
for Saddam to profess JESUS publicly would require all moslems to immediately seek his death. but GOD'S M.O. of drawing can
also be for destruction...either a "hook in the jaw" or a "hardening of the heart". i will leave that to you to think on....
>My sense is that if this conflict escalates, we'll have ourselves another World War. We Americans are convinced that
we'll just fly over, drop our bombs, and be done with it. I don't believe it will be like Desert Storm. We're in for a ghastly
and deadly surprise. I am not sure there will be any real "winners" in any of this.
the dreams and visions we are seeing all speak of violent judgement and persecution coming against america which validates what
you say next...
>Babylon is going to bite back and bite hard.
>Her fangs are bared. They drip with venom and, like a serpent hunting her prey, she is coiled and ready to strike.
Babylon also included present day Syria, Iran, Southern Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. And they have plans against Israel and
those who side with Israel. They have had 7 years to implement and infiltrate on their own...now let us not forget Russia who seems
to side with them at every issue. The bear still has teeth and claws. And a long history of hating and killing Jews....
>As Daniel was thrown into the Babylonian Lion's Den, so also will we. Daniel escaped without so >much as a scratch
because he was innocent of any crimes. I wonder how America will fare during our >night in the Lion's Den? Will we
survive?
>In Revelation, it teaches that there are spirits that tempt the kings of the earth to war. Those spirits >have been loosed
again. Remember that God raised up both ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt to >display His might and power in the
earth. They served as His vehicles of expression and judgment.
>Is He doing this again with modern Babylon (Iraq)?
yes i believe so with PRESENT KNOWLEDGE....all the facts point to a trap being set....and a "judas goat" leading us to it.
>I do not know if Sadam has the delivery capability to touch the soil of the USA unless he has managed to smuggle his
weapons of mass destruction here. He has a covenant of death with terrorists - anything is possible. If he unleashes his
wrath, our medicines and reliance of technology will be futile. There is no cure for the poisons he has concocted.
>We'll have to trust and believe God for healings.
We have heard the reports of Nuclear Weapons missing from the former "USSR". little was said about their chemical/biological
stockpiles. 7 years is a long time to smuggle and to set up for a war of attrition america has never anticipated and is almost
defenseless against. now i guess i need to get beyond this which is all present knowledge into Revelation knowledge...
>Abraham Lincon, during the Civil War, was asked to pray that God would be on "our" side (i.e. The Union). Lincon
wisely replied, "we had better pray that we are on His side."
That is the problem, as a nation we forgot GOD. Why did the american church decide the universe revolved around their agendas?
And then demand that GOD bless their endeavors?
Several years ago i had a vivid dream of a sea battle. One of the ships under attack bore the name GEORGE WASHINGTON. i put
the dream aside because i knew no capital ship by that name. So when the media announced the deployment of the carrier GW and
it's task force i freaked big time and went to the net and found the US NAVY site and the list of all our carriers...including the
Abraham Lincoln.... over a week ago i had another night vision...involving three carriers being sunk. i saw no names so the time line
is not dependent on the GW being there. and the whole thing was based upon an attack from behind. Presently we have 3 carrier
groups in/around the Persian Gulf. A narrow body of water with limited room to maneuver. with possible enemies on all sides.
maybe i am just some crackpot with vain imaginations...it would be preferable to the possibility that the combined
dreams/visions/prophecies of the saints are pointing to.
Bill, a while back i mentioned to you my thoughts on the 'rapture issue' may not be as far from you as you might think. in worse
case scenario we will all be crispy critters shortly. my scenario is based on scripture....the complacent luke warm american laodicean
church lost it's first love long ago. the combined efforts of all the nicolaotin despots have forsaken the LOGOS and denied the
RHEMA by following the teachings of Balaam and Jezebel. they need to wash their robes in the fires of tribulation. but there is a
time when the BRIDEGROOM comes like a thief in the night for a BRIDE. the BRIDE is a virgin....not a religious whore.
i was told to prepare for a time of fire. to put aside a years supply of food, medicine, necessities for my family. and to warn HIS
CHILDREN of the two edged Sword of JUDGEMENT and WRATH. i have tried to sound the shofar when and where possible. So i
thank you Bill for your work to warn the remnant. And to you Bryan, you are definitely on time and on target.
the hardest thing is to hear the LORD and see it come to pass before you piece by piece. In this there is no joy, only grief for as
each piece falls into place the assurance of the fullness of all HIS WARNINGS presses us with grief as we see what is to come.
being a crackpot would not hurt as much as a servant aware of both PRESENT and REVELATION knowledge.

Responses to Visions of the Church

by Bill Somers
Here are some readers responses to Nita Johnson’s article, Visions of the Church, and my own comments.
From: Bob Neuman

To: Bill Somers
Dear Bill,
sometimes I got to wonder how much it would take to get even the ' very elect' to wake up and smell the "roses". it
seems that the acceleration factor is not a figment of my imagination. for a long time I would hesitate posting to you or
anyone else for that matter.
'lingering doubt' can be a weapon with two edges. "is it really you, GOD" is the first knock I give myself, and the last of
course is '' if I’m the only one'' who is hearing this "stuff". doesn't sound religious at all but that's the point....GOD usually
doesn't sound like how man says HE should sound. looking at how much I have sent your way in the last 3 months, if
others are finding themselves on a new fast track you must be swamped.
a few days ago I 'had to' sit down and write "7 moves''. you were the only one I intended to post it to...till it was done.
still have lots of thinking to do on it but....
Visions of the Church basically confirmed it all .... every jot and tittle.... thanks, Bill, for posting it....but there was one
point I want to add...there was a paragraph that said....
Secondly, people will come to the Lord through the death of a martyr as would never enter into the Kingdom any
other way. Third, because every drop of blood that spills from a martyr's veins paves the way for a soul to enter into
the kingdom. I am not saying that their blood can pay for a Soul like the blood of Christ. However the martyr's blood
provides a Peculiar intercession for a lost soul as nothing else does. Fourth, because through a unique time such
as this, the Church is allowed to enter into the sufferings of Christ, which, by far is the greatest of all privileges. It is
a privilege, which in turn paves the way for greater glory in the Kingdom or Heaven.
coming as a stranger from the proverbial pit, literally might be more accurate, the dynamics of the "peculiar intercession"
is an interesting attempt at interpretation.
in the 'real' world the lost are living and thinking in "the flesh"....LORD I hate talkin' christianees ... because that is
exactly all they got. the thing we call "spiritual void" is real and we fill it with whatever is available. alcoholism, drug
addiction, promiscuity, occultism is the last thing to live for because the next step is usually suicide.
when you have nothing to live for the last straw you clutch at may be just a slower way to die. most 'church' people can
not comprehend it....even with a suicide rate in "the church" on an equal % rate as the world...
when you run out of straws....death is the only answer when you decide there is nothing worth living for....
as 'dead' men, you and I Bill know the exact opposite....that there is SOMETHING WORTH DYING FOR.... and the blood
of the martyrs gives the lost just that....the awareness that there is something more to the emptiness and the useless of
this life....THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WORTH DYING FOR.
remember in the GREAT COMMISSION we are told to be witnesses 'unto' the world'. that Greek word is 'martus', to bear
witness,....which our word martyr originates,....heavy stuff....
well, I think our ride is nearing an end....one way or the other...
PRAISE BE TO GOD...WHO HAS WON THE VICTORY

From Jim Rinker
Bill,
Good to hear from you. Those dreams about the Ezekiel Army I would like to confirm. My wife had this dream about a
month ago I would like to share to confirm the Ezekiel Army in part.
In this dream a small company of people (seven of us including my wife and myself) went outside the city to a hill
overlooking the city. It was a hilly grassy area and there were seven individual fires in front of us that we proceeded to
step into. My wife said she stayed in a short time then came out and another woman who was with us ministered to her
"burnt face". She said I stayed in a little longer.
Interpretation:
The hill overlooking the city is the "higher place" that God is taking us. It is outside the camp of current Christianity
(outside the city) and is for the purpose of fire baptism, ministry, and purification. I was able to stay in longer because I
have been dealing with issues of the flesh for a longer period of time that she has (by her admittance). The fire will be
less painful and more bearable if we will deal with issues NOW. She had no further revelation in this dream but your
Ezekiel Army vision post added more depth to her dream.

Comments by Bill Somers

The part of Nita's vision that got me the most was about the martyrs and purpose of martyrdom.
Nita wrote: "However the martyr's blood provides a Peculiar intercession for a lost soul as nothing else does."
This confirmed to me what the Lord showed me some years back, beginning in '91.
In short, Martyrdom has an effect in the spiritual realm. Every time the devil kills one of the saints, it cost’s him
something. In many cases that something is a soul that would otherwise be lost. I wrote about these issues in several
articles on my WebSite, They are: The Precious, where I share what I learned about how martyrdom contributes to the
harvest. The Precious part 2, where we go into the Lords purposes in large scale martyrdom. The Unthinkable, which
discusses the ultimate purpose of martyrdom and The How and the Therefore, that also looks at the ultimate purpose
of martyrdom from an other angle, and in greater depth. And relates it to the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Martyr Spirit

From: "Russell White"
Four missionaries who endured a night of beating and humiliation in their village in India are determined to stay until they
plant a church. A crowd of 15 people burst into the hut of the Gospel for Asia native missionaries, bound them hand and
foot, and beat them with iron rods and bamboo sticks, according to GFA. The men were stripped of their clothes,
paraded through the village, and ordered to reject Christ. ...
When the men refused to renounce their faith, mob ringleaders accused them of trying to kidnap a child and exhorted the
crowd to beat them. After the beating, the missionaries were told to leave the village and never return. They went to their
local GFA supervisor, who took them to the police, who ordered members of the mob to apologize for the beating and
return stolen possessions. ...
Police advised the missionaries to move to another village where they would be safer. "Here we were beaten, bruised,
and bled. Until we see a living congregation for Jesus we will not move from here," the leader said. Since then, 14
villagers have become Christians through the men's testimony.

Are You Not The Children Of God?

Bill Burns
August 21, 1998

I am going to come to you in greater ways and in greater measure and bring the power of My Spirit into your lives. I will
restore the power of My Spirit and the truth of My word. I am looking for those who will worship Me in Spirit and truth with
no entanglement with the world. Lay aside your desires and come to Me with open hearts. Seek after Me, believe in Me,
come to Me, for I am the King who washes you and cleanses you from your sins.
The King of righteousness has come tonight to awaken His people, to bring you back from the world and the ways of the
world and bring you out from under the cloak and clouds of defilement that Satan has brought against you, to bring you
back to your First Love, to bring you back to be nurtured in your hearts, to bring you back and deliver you from all
demonic oppression, to bring you back to the house of the Lord God Almighty--to the inner chamber where you can
commune with Me and sit down and fellowship with Me, for indeed, I have prepared a table for you. Yes, even in the
midst of your enemies, and I come to be with that one that gives himself and that one that comes apart unto Me.
I say, children, come to Me. Are you not the children of God? Sometimes the children get lost along the way.
Sometimes the storms overtake them and the darkness surrounds them, and they cannot see the path. I am the King of
glory, and I will light the way if you will ask. Come unto Me. Come. I am calling My people back. Come away from the
apostasy and the seduction and seducing spirits that the evil one has sent against you. I am calling you back into a life
of purity and holiness, a life of oneness with Me, for I am washing My bride, and she shall be without spot or wrinkle
before that great day of the trumpet. Come.

Armies Of God.

It seems in the last few days a certain turn in the road has been made. Strange it seems that it is long over due. Today
modern church people have a whole bunch of 'militant' music that we say we worship to. It seems we have gone a long
way from ''clap your hands all ye people and shout to GOD with a voice of triumph'' and ''onward Christian soldiers
marching as to war''. Yet for all our music and lyrics we are the same as before we started, primarily pew sitters waiting
to be fed, entertained, reassured.
And it has been that way for 6000 years. With only four major exceptions and what they are to teach us today appears to
be mostly lost.
So in apparent obedience I am starting a series of thoughts to share with whoever desires to read what THE MOST
HOLY SPIRIT has placed on my heart. The first thought goes back to the WILDERNESS.
The Army of the Wilderness Generation. When Israel balked at entering the land when ADONAI told them to do so it was
because of the "BAD REPORT" of the spies who forgot just how big GOD was. In less than two years GOD had
decimated the Egyptian Empire with Plagues, slaughtered the largest army in the world in the red sea, brought water out
of a rock, and manna and quail six days a week to feed 3+million people. And let's not forget MT Sinai and the golden
calf. And still they saw "giants" and were intimidated. So a 'next generation' came forward over the next 40 years
knowing only how to survive in the WILDERNESS. Not Egyptian slavery. And they were led through the Jordan River to
take the land. And in 26 years did a very poor job of it all. In fact even Joshua was deceived at time and did not always
seek GOD before acting. Again not the greatest of lessons to pass down to us today. So I marvel at how readily some of
our "church'' brethren jump at the GIMMICK of a JERICO WALK to raise funds. Or the idea of a Joshua Generation that
marches to victory. When it was ADONAI that brought the walls down. .
Yet in the midst of all this there is a major lesson that the church has missed, and maybe it is on purpose. If so the
victory here is not out of our grasp yet. The Lesson is the CALEB MINDSET.
. How often have you heard MR PREACHERMAN or MR MAJOR PROPHET speak about Caleb? Wonder why? We are
talking about the man who spoke GOSPEL when the 'church' preferred the bad report. A man who stayed faithful for
almost 70 years trusting GOD for a single promise. And then getting the job done. The image of service unconditional
and unchangeable, no matter the situation or the circumstance. Here is a man who was high in the tribe of Judah. The
largest and strongest of the tribes of Israel. But let's see his first public account.
Numbers 13:30-32
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are
well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger
than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying,
The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all
the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. (KJV)
Caleb was a man willing to do GOD'S will and tried to move the people in the right direction. But as always the majority
will not follow GOD in obedience. And where does that lead him?
Numbers 14:6-12
6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land,
rent their clothes:

7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through
to search it, is an exceeding good land.
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk
and honey.
9 Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their
defense is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the
tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they
believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and
mightier than they.
At this point the church is eager to kill those who are saying things the assembly does not want to hear. Even if it is in
accord with the plans and purpose of GOD ALMIGHTY. Now let's see how GOD reacts to Caleb's stand with Joshua.
Numbers 14:24
24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring
into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. (KJV)
Remember GOD SAID IT, claiming Caleb as HIS SERVANT, FILLED with THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, followed ME
FULLY.
And no one preaches on ol' Caleb. What a shame.
But when it was time to divide the land who is mentioned first?
Numbers 34:16-19
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the
son of Nun.
18 And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
19 And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh. (KJV)
GOD did not forget CALEB and Caleb remembered GOD'S PROMISE.
Deuteronomy 1:35-36
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give
unto your fathers,
36 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden
upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. (KJV)
Joshua 14:13-15
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day,
because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
15 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And
the land had rest from war. (KJV)
But here is where the real story begins. Remember the fear of the GIANTS that birthed that evil report. Look at CALEB'S
MINDSET and answer to that spirit of fear.
Joshua 15:13-19
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the
commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to
wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to
wife.
18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she
lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water.
And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
Caleb demanded HEBRON, the city of the Giants and took it. Giants and all. That is why the children of Anak were in
Philistia so Goliath could be slain by the shepherd boy many years later. Caleb alone was more than willing to kill the
giants that stood between him and the PROMISE GOD had spoken over and into him. What is our excuse? Do we run at
the first threat or fear? Or do we ask for the city in spite of the dangers knowing GOD HAS SPOKEN.
The ARMY of Joshua took bits and pieces of a very small land. Caleb took and held his rightful portion and when he
asked for an heir Othniel the first of the Judges came and married a daughter bold enough to stand up and claim a
blessing even Othniel could not ask from the old warrior.
If you look up the HEBREW word Caleb you will find the word all the positive attributes of man's 'best friend' are alive in
GENERAL and PRINCE CALEB. Unconditional love, and obedience to GOD. Unflagging faith over many long and hard
years. And never a negative report from this much overlooked Servant of the LIVING GOD. just an in your face assurance
that the generation today utterly lacks. To stand up and speak the GOOD REPORT in the face of the enemy, even in the
midst of the congregation.
The CALEB MINDSET AND THE CALEB HEART IS THE FIRST CRITERIA FOR ALL THE SOLDIERS OF THE LIGHT
THE ARMY OF GOD.

Gideon's Company.
As a change I will not quote any scripture at all. anyone reading this who has not read the story of Gideon in Judges
6,7,& 8 can do so at their convenience.
Gideon like many in the OT has a story that defies contemporary credibility. today if someone share a story of the
ANGEL of THE LORD sitting under a tree, throwing down fleeces, and all that would get a difficult reception in 90% of our
churches today. goes to show that by our present day standards GOD'S ANOINTED servants are most often categorized
as between strange and unacceptably radical.
But I really have no intention of talking about Gideon, but the 300.
Imagine if you can your town and family regularly ravaged by an enemy. If that is too hard for you to imagine, then maybe
you stumbled onto the wrong Internet sit. JESUS himself warned us that tests, trials, and tribulations we would have
because of the present world authority. So I feel safe to say that the image is accessible to all without a major stretch.
So back to the enemy, who steals your fruit, your harvest, your dreams, and your promise. And has done so for years.
One day a radical young leader arises and calls all out to do battle. And he's got the 'juice'. The ANOINTING is on him
and he blows the trumpet.
32000 show up and are ready to take on the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the 'kings of the east'. Now I am not
reminding anyone that this is an endtime prophecy but you'll get over it.
So imagine yourself standing with me in the gathered fighting men. You and I are blooded veterans, skilled and deadly.
We look at the numbers and feel pretty good. And young Gideon steps up and says we are too many. Now we had
never, ever had that problem before, but. GOD'S all over the kid. And he says all who are afraid can go home. That's okay
.we look at each other and nod .we both know we don't want anyone either besides us our behind us we might not trust.
Like I said the kid's got it, 22000 cut out, but we got 10000 real warriors ready to fight and take back some spoils.
And then comes the force march and we get to the water. And all the newbies forget that we are behind enemy lines and
forget their training. You and I keep our eye on the horizon and scoop up the water. Then the kid says all can leave but
us, and suddenly we are down to 300, less than 1% of what we started with. But we've been on raiding parties before,
and then comes the kicker .ol' Gideon wants to attack the enemies main camp at night, and leave our swords, shields,
spears behind .oh, man, the kid must be pentacostal/charismatic/messianic. Who ever heard of fighting a battle with
shofars and crockery. But none of the 300 leave .we look at each other and think 'if he's dumb enough to stay, then so
will I'; and all 300 thought the same thing. Then this guy over there has a dream of a heavenly bagel rolling down from the
FATHER and destroying the enemy. And we knew this had to be GOD. No man is this crazy.
And that night it all happened. The shofars sounded, the shouts went up as the crockery got smashed, and the enemy
started to die. We blew trumpets and 120,000 died as we ran them down. It was just mop up. Yeah we took our spoil.
And when ol' Gideon refused to be king it was okay. And the earrings he asked for were so little. Each of us could have
taken the spoil off of 400 of the enemy soldiers, but who could carry that much? But when we got home your two kids,
Trixie and Bubba run up and say. Uncle bob! How many Midianites did you kill! Tell me about the big battle and how you
saved the world.
And there are no war stories this time. No lies to tell because the TRUTH alone is enough GOD won the victory and killed
our enemies. Nothing any real warrior would be proud to speak of. But everything a true worshipper would like to sing
praises about. THE TRUE ARMY of GOD fights no battle. He stays under discipline in the heat of the day. He does
exactly what he is told to do; and when he is told to do so. That is the WHOLE REALITY OF PROPHETIC
INTERCESSION
That is fighting the battle GOD'S way.

But the battle can be fought in man's way. But GOD still gives the victory.
That is ARMY # 3.

ARMIES of GOD part 3

Bob Neumann
The ARMIES of GOD part 3/SAUL'S CALL...
The average Christian has been given many narrow views of scripture. Sometimes we miss important truths because we
literally throw the baby out with the bath water. So is it when we think about one Saul, first King of Israel. . An image of
GOD'S anointed. Ouch!
Tragically we follow Shakespeare as easily as we might GOD. "THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM, AND
THE GOOD IS OFT INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES''. from Julius Caesar. But we have done it to Saul also. There is a
great TRUTH to dig up here so let's go to the WORD. .
1 Samuel 11:1-15. .
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh
said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may
thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto
all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
The enemy here is Nahash, King of the Ammonites, who has decided to take a Hebrew city. The people are intimidated
and willing to surrender for Israel has no standing army. Samuel had just been snubbed and Saul anointed. To them then
as it is now the term "anointed" really meant nothing until people get shown "SIGNS AND WONDERS". So the elders
petition Nahash and the real battle plays out. Ol' Nahash does not want to sack the town. He wants to humiliate Israel
and Israel's GOD. This is a spiritual battle that Nahash has assured himself of a complete victory because Israel had
dissed GOD and demanded a king. So give them seven days before he acts. It makes his victory even sweeter for all the
Hebrews will know the shame of being both impotent and defenseless before him.
Only one problem. He did not know YHVH...ADONAI TZ'ABAOTH. .
4 then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the
people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they
weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
Please understand the situation...Saul, the ANOINTED KING OF ISRAEL was out in his daddy's fields plowing with the
oxen. Being king hadn't gotten to his head just yet. . But it will. The report of Nahash's assault has them mourning for
what is about to take place. Obviously the men of Israel knew no more than Nahash about their GOD.
6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Please understand that this is the same language used by a prophet 300 years later named Isaiah in his 61st chapter.
"THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS UPON ME, FOR HE HAS ANOINTED ME..." anointing is not a state of
being. But a "mark" of GOD'S PURPOSE. In this case it arises with HOLY ANGER. . And more.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel
by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be
done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Just imagine Saul drawing his short sword and hewing an ox in two. It got everyone's attention. Then came the threat.
Take a chunk of extremely bloody oxen meat and show it to every 'man' of Israel as an object lesson. Those that do not
follow GOD'S ANOINTED will be dead meat. Now this can be taken one of two ways. Either Saul will come after you. Or
failure to stand against 'the enemy' today will only assure that one day he will come after you on the day the 'enemy'
chooses, something we should understand today.
8 and when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty
thousand.
Remember WHAT GOD DID WITH 300 MEN WHO FOLLOWED A JUDGE NAMED GIDEON? When GOD killed the
120,000 only 300 men were needed. But the story has changed. Remember Israel didn't want GOD to fight their battles
anymore. So what GOD did against at least three kings with 300 men. Saul who is anointed and covered will need
300,000 men!!! And for only one little bitty king. .
9 And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To
morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the
men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that
seemeth good unto you.
Now there is a set up being made here. Nahash is anticipating the town to simply role over and die for him. . Instead he
has a problem. An anointed king and 300,000 warriors with incentive. .
11 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst
of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that
they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Even with 300,000 men Saul is using the DIVINE PATTERN of 3 that Gideon was instructed to use. And again 'the
enemy' is decimated.
12 And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we
may put them to death.
13 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought
salvation in Israel.
Having signs and wonders, and positive public opinion, does wonders for an 'anointed one's' self esteem. When it comes
to Saul it quickly turns into pride and a fear of losing that public opinion. That is where his sin sprouted and his fall
began.
14 then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 15 And all
the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they
sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced
greatly. (KJV)
This was one victory. There were probably heavy casualties because Israel fought it's own battle. When GOD fought the
battle all 300 returned to their homes and families. And Israel had no army. Just a bunch of men. Some veteran warriors
and many 'citizens' aware of an impending danger. A standing army is a whole lot different than a ragtag militia that gets
together only when the enemy is at the gate.
The church is writing books and singing songs about 'prayer warriors' and the like. That is because we have refused
GOD'S rule and HIS DISCIPLINE. So now THE LORD OF HOSTS PLANS TO RAISE AN ARMY. .
Have you gotten a 'draft notice' yet?

THE INTIMACY ATTITUDE.
This article is probably going to be the most difficult for anyone to comprehend or to receive unless they are at this stage
themselves. If you think about the fact that ALMIGHTY GOD has an explicit purpose behind every WORD and DEED and
IMAGE you may understand the importance of understanding HIS HEART for all of us in this last days.
Lesson 1 was the need to have a Caleb Mindset; [to be] very focused and anchored in GOD'S WORD (RHEMA)
BREATHED INTO EACH child who KNOWS HIM.
Lesson 2 was the need to accept GODLY DISCIPLINE as one of HIS 300. HEARING HIS ORDERS AND OBEYING in
spite of what the 99% may say, see, or decide to do.
Lesson 3 was that VICTORY COMES FROM GOD no matter what we are willing to 'pay for it'. that "THE ANOINTING"
does not change the fact that the VICTORY comes in our obedience to HIS WORD. not HIS ANOINTING that marks us.
and that leads us to

Lesson 4. The Intimacy Attitude. .
Being a soldier of GOD requires a MINDSET. a way of thinking that leads to a discipline in our lives; where the mindset
leads to a level of living in our conviction; which brings to us a new anointing that reflects HIS IMAGE IN OUR LIVES. .
When GOD rejected Saul HE had GOOD REASON. and Samuel grieved. But GOD told the old prophet to stop grieving
and get up and go. Many of us are wanting to stay in this grieving stage because it is solidly scriptural in a prophetic
sense, but we do not see it as a stage in the process. We like Samuel must go to Bethlehem, ''the city of Bread'' and
find a 'man after GOD'S OWN HEART'; to find our new anointing from the INTIMACY of KNOWING THE FATHER.
David means "beloved". Before Samuel ever got up to go to Jesse's house ABBA had been spending time in the desert
with young David. David was ABBA'S "beloved", and ABBA had become David's "BELOVED".[He was] a reflection of
GOD as he watched HIS DADDY'S SHEEP. Before he was ever 'anointed' he was reflecting GOD in his life. He was a
worshiper with an intimacy with his GOD we only can yearn for, before he ever killed the lion or the bear.
And that leads to the confrontation with Goliath.

Now David was sent to the 'battle line' by DADDY. But those older and 'more experienced' mocked him, when they had
no intention of confronting the giant.
They gave him Saul's armor and he put it on; and rejected it for the weapon ABBA had trained us with. HIS WORD and
HIS SONG. David thought of this battle as an affront to the GOD he loved and served. So he entered the battle ground
with an attitude and a purpose: to destroy the enemy utterly. He was ready to kill Goliath, and all his brothers but he
needed only one rock.
26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this
Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should
defy the armies of the living God?
David asked this question because he had an intimate relationship with ABBA., and he was definitely surprised that no
one had dealt with the giant already. Because intimacy creates an attitude. David's response to the giant's taunts at
GOD and GOD's people are not understood by anyone else, especially his brothers.
They thought David had an 'attitude'. They were right. But he had learned back in the wilderness to trust GOD. And
because he trusted GOD and no one and nothing else, he acted in faith and spoke his heart. Today like then to do so will
not gain any support from those who "know'' us.
34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and
took a lamb out of the flock:
35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against
me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them,
seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the
bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be
with thee.
Intimacy with GOD makes us people with an attitude the world can not understand. yet in the day of battle we can speak
out and slay the giant.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield:
but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast
defied.
46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee;
and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild
beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the
LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
And you know the outcome. But what was GOD'S purpose behind it all? So we have GOD'S BELOVED in the limelight
and fully seen by the entire people of GOD. And we wind up in the wilderness with David hiding from the man who
perverted GOD'S ANOINTING. And he still is making war on the enemies of his people.
1000 years later ABBA "ANOINTS'' that title/name personally to one who reflects HIS IMAGE in this world. It was the first
time since Sinai where all heard the VOICE OF GOD as they saw HIS SPIRIT fall. "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON. IN
WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. " and ABBA called JESUS my David SON. After which JESUS was taken into the
wilderness by THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT to do battle with the enemy.
There are no coincidences in the WORD of GOD, or HIS KINGDOM. Saul drove David into the wilderness to prepare him
for 40 years as KING. And when he was out in his cave two things happened.
His family joined him, and those forced out by the corruption of the rule of authority that had perverted GOD'S
ANOINTING. And now we need to look at the deeper images in this saga that has waited 3000 years to play out today.
We all know David sinned, but repented; something Saul never did. And no one else in the whole OT before the prophets
repented for their people. David had some hard times, but his main sin was counting the ARMY. But how did he get that
army? From the time in the wilderness, among all David's friends and family that joined him in the caves there are his
three nephews...his sisters kids. right...
2 Samuel 2:18
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of
foot as a wild roe. (KJV)
Joab simply means GOD is FATHER. Abishai means THE FATHER'S GIFT; and, Asahel GOD HAS MADE. If you want
to put it all together neatly "ABBA FATHER HAS GIVEN A GIFT ONLY HE CAN MAKE." And this is the relationship
with us as our ABBA. JESUS said no one can get to the place of loving GOD unless we do so through HIM. If you see
HIM you have seen THE FATHER.
Now all of this may seem out of place until you understand that the whole 'BELOVED' ARMY of GOD revolves around two
of these brothers. Yet as individuals they didn't always appear GODLY. In Abishai, ABBA's GIFT we see that ATTITUDE
come up over and over.
Joab commanded David's army and was as ruthless as any other character in all of the scriptures. But Abishai was
closer to David and a whole lot more radical than we are today. But maybe we should be.
1 Samuel 26:6-10
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to
Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and
his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me
smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S
anointed, and be guiltless?
10 David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he
shall descend into battle, and perish.
Personally I would have agreed with Abishai, but David ends up prophesying how those who have lost, perverted, or
abused GOD'S ANOINTING will be judged if they never repent. 'Touch not the LORD'S anointed' takes a whole new
meaning when viewed this way. It goes along with the "vengeance is MINE" image very well.
Abishai was David's Armorbearer, which is why when later in life David met a giant, he did not win the fight.
2 Samuel 21:15-18
15 Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him,
and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred
shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of
David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of
Israel.
Probably the most interesting situation occurred when Absalom revolted and David fled Jerusalem...
2 Samuel 16:6-13 .
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty
men were on his right hand and on his left.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned;
and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in
thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let
me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD
hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels,
seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the
LORD hath bidden him.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his
cursing this day.
13 And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and
cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust. (KJV)
Personally I see no difference between Abishai's reaction to Shimei and David's reaction to Goliath. But David knows he
is not GOD, but a man who is facing trouble and curses because of his sins. and Abishai does not run down Shimei and
kill him. He obeys. in spite of his own opinions. Do we?
Abishai has an intimacy with GOD'S BELOVED that we should have. It is interesting that he commands the MIGHTY
MEN OF VALOR. not Joab.
1 Chronicles 11:20-21
20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred,
he slew them, and had a name among the three.
21 Of the three, he was more honourable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to
the first three. (KJV)
Abishai has commanded half of David's Army in battle. yet has no interest for the political scene as Joab does. And the
loyal men of the wilderness see it and even though there are greater warriors want him to command them. Why? Maybe
they see more than the man, but the reflection of "THE BELOVED" in him. He stuck beside David for over 40 years,
fought in war, waited in peace. Not really a bad role model for us today. Yet he was family, but wanted more. Where were
David's brothers and sons? Except for the bad examples we don't know.
When a SOLDIER of the LIGHT stands in battle, he/she never stands alone because the "BELOVED SON'' promised
never to leave us or forsake us. Yet when the enemy looks he only sees the "WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD'' shining and
reflect the GLORY of THE HOLY ONE. As rag tag warriors we come as we are, all individuals, all freelancers, not
committed to any sovereignty, independent. But soldiers look alike, sound alike, act alike. Warriors are dependent on
skill and experience to survive the battle. So to do soldiers, but they also can trust their discipline, their brothers in the
battle line, and their COMMANDER.
This all will need if we hear the KING'S SHOFAR in the days ahead and join HIM on the day of battle.

ARMIES of GOD 5
Bob Neumann
Strangers And Exiles.
The whole purpose of posting these 'lessons' is to show the many in the wilderness that GOD indeed has not only a plan
for us...but a purpose beyond what we may be able to comprehend. THE WORD is for our instruction, yet so little has
really been studied and revealed that much of what has been given has been ignored and lost. Too many "open minded"
and "liberal" thinkers have tried so hard to limit it and to deny it's DIVINE INSPIRATION. Yet much of what has been
passed on to us over almost 3500 years would not have been included if it were a human source issuing it.
Very little is really written about all the victories and positive constructive actions by the people in the narration. GOD
seems more willing to document sin and cases of utter stupidity by men. Of course in our sin and iniquity we realize our
transgressions and may seek GOD and HIS MERCY. And that is the whole point to these stories, or is it? Maybe these
stories are purposely constructed to speak to this last generation. Just call it 'end time prophecies'.
Take the simple story of Absalom and his rebellion from FATHER BELOVED, and his attempt to usurp the throne. It all
starts with sin, and ends with a GRIEVING FATHER KING, talk about shadows within shadows,
Absalom whose name means FATHER OF PEACE was David's pride and joy. But David like literally every scriptural 'dad'
really failed with his kids. It all starts with Amnon lusting for his sister and David's nephew Jonadab, the son of Shimeah
giving him a plan for seduction. What followed was the rape of David's daughter Tamar, and nothing happened, "no
justice" in the land, so Absalom assassinates his brother and runs away, still David literally does nothing. In time
Absalom decides he wants the crown and wins 'the people' to his side.
And here is where the real story begins; David is again on the run, from his own son,
2 Samuel 15:14-22
14 And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall
not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us,
and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the
king shall appoint.
16 And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were
concubines, to keep the house.
17 And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
Literally David packed up and ran...why? Where was the ARMY he counted against GOD'S orders? They had subdued all
the foreign kings. Killed all the giants. And now it was missing? Hundreds of thousands of warriors all veterans? David did
not call out the ARMY because he had no idea who they would side with. Absalom had all the hot young bloods following
his lead, eager to force a place for themselves in the coming power vacuum. Absalom had done all the tricks the church
plays today. He created positive public relations and put on quite an impressive facade to portray himself in a positive
light as he talked trash against rightful authority. In Absalom's case his own father. It all looked good for a supplanter of
GOD'S BELOVED.
18 and all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the
Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
600 men that came with him from Gath, who we called the "mighty men of valor"...the wilderness army. But please look
at the three "wild cards" that just came out of nowhere. "All the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites" is
an interesting group of non-Hebrews that you will ever see. The Cherethites dwelt along the sea, the Gittites were one of
the five Philistine cities and GOD only knows where the Pelethites came from. What we do know is they gave complete
allegiance to King David.
19 Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide
with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
Ittai the Gittite is obviously known to King David. Yet David is willing to send him back to his pagan king. David has no
relationship with him...no covenant ties that would require him to come to the aid of the KING OF ISRAEL, take it one
step farther, David calls him an exile, one cut off from his homeland which is something David should be able to relate to.
Obviously his arrival in besieged Jerusalem was not anticipated, see how David addresses him,
20 Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go
whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
David is telling Ittai that he is about to make a run out of Jerusalem, and the eventual return can not be foreseen any time
soon. Strange how David ends his entertainment of Ittai..."mercy and truth be with thee." and I believe Ittai was listening
to the VOICE OF TRUTH when he answered David.
21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what
place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
Ittai acknowledges David's GOD ahead of David and then commits himself to David as Ruth committed herself to Naomi.
Must have struck a nerve with David because he now relents.
22 And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the
little ones that were with him. (KJV)
Ittai did not come alone but brought his whole clan or tribe of the Gittites. Likewise might have been the Pelethites and
the Cherethites. Talk about a "go for broke" gamble. There was no concept of "non-combatants" in these times. What is
it that these pagans could see that the People of GOD were now blind to? That King David, sins and all, was still GOD'S
ANOINTED.
Ittai's name means 'near' or "belonging close". And Ittai has chosen to side with GOD'S ''BELOVED", haven't we? But
does that explain what David then decides to do,
2 Samuel 18:2-5
2 And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of
Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king
said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
3 But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half
of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou
succour us out of the city.
David's approval is worth whatever cost this battle will take, once David is restored to his throne. David does what Gideon
and Saul had done before, split his forces into three units. And placed them under Joab, Abishai, and Ittai???????
Abishai and Joab are obvious choices, with a long history of combat leadership, but Ittai? Maybe he had a big rep in
Philistia, or maybe David had fought against him in his youth, or maybe it is something far deeper,
4 And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and
all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
Now this was a large fighting force of proven veterans, and David was already anticipating a victory and was worried for ol'
Absalom.
5 And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man,
even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning
Absalom. (KJV)
David did not want to see his boy killed even if same probably wouldn't hesitate at killing good old dad, and if Abishai or
Ittai had found Absalom the story may have ended differently. But Joab being the politically expedient assassin he has
removed Absalom permanently as a threat to David.
And the story ends, but we still wonder about this authority given to Ittai,
David was a worshipper and just maybe we can see Ittai fitting into one of David's Psalms,
Psalm 18:1-50
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of
this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of
Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my
buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and
my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he
was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of
the skies.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke,
O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he
recompensed me.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of
my hands in his eyesight.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
Here is the midpoint of this Psalm, David wrote it when delivered from Saul yet it could have been written after the battle
with Absalom. In verse 25 the word ''upright'' is the word 'tamiym' which means 'entire' or "complete", .in the NIV it is
translated as "faithful", Ittai appears suddenly out of nowhere makes a commitment to a king apparently on his way out
of power. Except it doesn't happen that way. GOD is faithful and delivers HIS ANOINTED once again.
Ittai is an image of faith standing against all odds, or in the popular vernacular of today "against the flow''. Today the issue
of FOLLOWING THE BELOVED ONE is entirely an act of absolute faith. But it is the only game in town,
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy
gentleness hath made me great.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up
against me.
40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen:
a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou
hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for
evermore. (KJV)
David literally gave thanks unto GOD with heathens/pagans in attendance, but isn't that our effective testimony today?
GOD'S ARMY is made up of pagans that step out in sudden faith on the PROMISE from GOD'S 'BELOVED ANOINTED'
of mercy and truth when we "cross over",
something not expected from the faint of heart or just plain lukewarm.

THE EXTENT OF DUTY.
Throughout the extent of scripture we encounter stories and images that have been specifically placed there through the
direct action of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. The Bible is often viewed as a fanciful collection of Hebrew oral traditions, of a
historical view of the Jewish people, as a poetic dissertation of antiquated moral imperatives. All three views which are
prevalent today in the minds of liberal theologians and educators neglect the aspect of divine inspiration. This of course is
the fatal flaw of modern humanism, remove GOD from the equation and things become perfect. Only humanism has no
use for GOD and for PERFECTION, preferring self-actualization over MERCY and GRACE.
When the 'church' begins to look at things from a ''worldly'' point of view it will begin to assess and categorize all things to
fit the acceptable and proper attitudes of the humanist mindset. instead of judging by the WORD of GOD we look at size,
duration, popularity, and level of affluence of a ministry, when we should be tasting the fruit of a man's life.
We judge men by these worldly standards and fail to see what pleases GOD.
The image of the ARMY of GOD kicking in the Gates of Hell, "dancing on demons heads", slicing and dicing ha'satan in
our effervescent ideas of intercessory prayer have no scriptural basis. In other words we have added to the book. And in
doing so have taken away the lessons hidden in the WORD just as JESUS spoke in parables. That means we have
violated both warnings of the Book of Revelations, and the church roles merrily along,
We give praise and honor to ministries and to men because the man = the ministry.
Being a worldly people we weigh everything by the 'money' the ''superstars'' can command. We merchandise to expand
our ministries, to fund our ministries, to even begin our ministries. And because it is "good in our own eyes" and sounds
religious it has to be GOD, yet 60+% of American and 'traditional' churches do not believe in the power and leading of the
MOST HOLY SPIRIT, yet believe they are called and anointed. The 35+/-% of so called spirit filled churches have no
manifestation of the GIFTS of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, yet they also say they are called and anointed, so where does
this leave us,
All in the same boat being thrown about by the storm and JESUS is calmly standing on the water waiting for us to step
out and away from the sinking church. All we were ever told to do is to stand by HIM/with HIM/and in HIM. In this case it
would have been far better to have missed the boat.
The TRUE ARMY OF GOD can be summed up completely in the life and ministry of the Judge Shamgar, here is his
story,
Judges 3:31
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox
goad: and he also delivered Israel. (KJV)
And that is it. Shamgar, Judge of Israel, servant of YHVH,
No ministry to speak of, no exciting docu-drama for the kid's video ministries, no frills service so to speak, not a
character to build a Bapticostal Six Part Sermon series to sell to the stupid sheep, uh, make that "faithful prayer
partners", just a man who GOD used as GOD pleased.
According to Dr Strong "Shamgar" as a name has no meaning, yet the first few letters of his name in Hebrew are similar
to that of 'Samuel'. It is 'shm (a)',''to hear'', Old Shamgar heard GOD and obeyed. GOD used him to deliver Israel from the
enemies that GOD used to get HIS PEOPLE'S attention when they forgot their GOD. Shamgar fitted in between Ehud
and Deborah, we have no length of service or great battles won. Nothing to build a ministry on.
And that is the point, GOD used a man to minister as GOD PLEASED,
Shamgar obviously did not fit our criteria, had no real 'people skills', which did not seem to bother GOD at all, but look at
the middle of that verse again, "which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad", neat trick if you think
about it, so please try,
If you have a little problem with it I can understand.
An "ox goad" is a solid stick with a pointed end to "goad" oxen with. Some supposedly had a little hook at the end to
what purpose I have not a clue. But as a preferred weapon in hand to hand combat with 600 Philistines fully armed and
desirous of my immediate destruction, give me a break,
Talk about a Hollywood testosterone flick, or maybe a Hong Kong kung-fu epic, but GOD put it in HIS BOOK. Before
there was Samson and David's mighty men of valor who served GOD, without any side stories of harlots, sin, and failure,
does seem out of place in that regard, .I can just see myself accosted at the mall by two full companies of US Marines in
full battle dress, M16's, M 60 LAW's, rockets, mortars, ground-air support, naval gun fire, and a couple tanks, and I have
a broom handle whittled at the end.
Seems far fetched, about as far fetched as 600 men with swords, armor, spears, javelins, slings, bows with arrows, and a
lone man with an ox goad whose only job is to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistine Nation. Once it was done with
pilling up the bodies he probably went back to plowing his field rather than "building his ministry''.
GOD required a service, and Shamgar obeyed, .for all we know he may have led the people for 10-20-30-40 years, but
that was not important. Obeying and pleasing GOD was/is/and shall always be,
The ARMY of GOD is one man at the time GOD appointed, anointed, and commissioned. Or it was a King with hundreds
of thousands of men. Saul worried about the opinion of men and was bent out of shape when the Canaanite hit parade
stopped singing about his exploits and began to sing about David. I wonder what could have sang about old Shamgar, .it
probably had a country western melody and went like this,
Why, oh why did you kill those 600 why 600 Philistines in just one day
With ox goad in hand and the Pow'r of da LORD and I just ran out of Philistines to kill that day.
Shamgar did his duty, all that ABBA required and passed on into history. Maybe we need to learn the EXTENT of our
Duty and be compliant

THE SERVANTS OF THE GREAT FATHER
Really there is little to say beyond what the "literal" LOGOS says on this. So I will keep it most simple and literal. To a
fault. NOTICE A PROPHETIC DIFFERENCE
Genesis 14:11-18
11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
12 And they took Lot, THE GREAT FATHER’S brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and
departed.
Like them, ABBA has family who has chosen not to 'dwell' with HIM. And it seems the rule of nature seems that
backsliders will always sink to the bottom of the pit, or decide to live in Sodom. But that fact matters little to ABBA the
creator and keeper of HIS Covenant. Many of our prayers are poorly stated reminders to HIM of HIS PROMISES. So
taking this as HIS WORD we can hold onto HIS PROMISE of rescue, but there is a part we must decide to play.
13 And there came one that had escaped, and told THE GREAT FATHER the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the
plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with THE
GREAT FATHER. 14 And when THE GREAT FATHER heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed
his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
ABBA has servants in HIS HOUSE, birthed there in SPIRIT and TRUTH, who are TRAINED with HIS SWORD. In fact
there is an exact number. 318. And ABBA is in active pursuit of all those held captive by the enemy. In fact the WORD
states the enemy is ran down at the place called "JUDGE"/Dan.
15 And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them
unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Now people, this is probably the most profound overlooked prophetic verse in the Bible, GOD SEPARATES HIMSELF in
order to destroy the works of the enemy. Suddenly the aspect of ELOHIM is explained as ABBA, Y'SHUA, RUACH are
revealed as the TRIUNE GODHEAD, the UNITY. Then the battle is begun in the night; in the time of darkness which
covers the land and the great/deep darkness that covers the people. ADONAI smites the enemy in a strange place,
HOBAH, the "HIDING PLACE". The place of intimacy, the place where we dwell alone in ABBA. The only place a servant
of THE GREAT FATHER can wield the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, our prayer closet under the shelter of HIS WINGS.
16 And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the
women also, and the people.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of
the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
ABBA will bring back all that we thought lost and forsaken if we place our faith in HIM. This is not an idle thought for we
have only started the prophetic images.
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high
God. (KJV)
And THE RIGHTEOUS KING OF PEACE, ETERNAL HIGH PRIEST will bring forth HIS BODY AND HIS BLOOD to bring
blessings upon THE GREAT FATHER. And we are that blessing.
Genesis 14:19-24
19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be THE GREAT FATHER of the MOST HIGH GOD OUR LORD
OF LORD AND KING OF KINGS Y'SHUA HA'MASHIACH, possessor of heaven and earth: TO WHOM ALL
AUTHORITY ON HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE GIVEN.
20 And blessed be (ME. THE I AM) THE MOST HIGH GOD, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy
hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Strange that ABBA gives HIS SON a tithe. But look at it from the SON'S point of view.
John 17:4-10
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world
was.
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou
gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
Awesome isn't it. ABBA receives once again the ''tithe'' he paid out as a lesson for us but there is a lot more.
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known
surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
And here is the best part of all.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. (KJV)
Now if you think this a little bit out of place, go back now and see that ABBA has no intention of sharing HIS GLORY.
21 And the king of Sodom said unto THE GREAT FATHER, Give me the persons, and take the goods to
thyself.
22 And THE GREAT FATHER said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most
high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoe latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine,
lest thou shouldest say, I have made THE GREAT FATHER rich:
The king of Sodom has nothing to offer ABBA. ABBA is not about to play worldly games with any worldly king. But look
at HIS only favor,
24 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner,
Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion. (KJV)
We servants will 'eat' off the spoils of our battle(s). What does not kill us only makes us stronger. But here again ABBA
gives place to pagans. It seems strange yet it repeated itself in the story of Ittai and the battle with Absalom. In this end
time ''battle'' the ARMY of GOD will not be backed up by a Christian church dead in it's works. But by those who come to
the LIGHT OF OUR TESTIMONY in the midst of spiritual darkness/persecution. It has been going on in China for 50
years, the old Soviet Union for over 70 years, India, Africa, the Islamic nations.
Now it comes to us. Which leads me to Melchisedec and
Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the
slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and
after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Notice something wrong in this verse. Granted it is subtle and overlooked. But that is only we do not see it in a prophetic
light. Hebrews is usually taught as done happened already. Except it is forthspeaking. Simply the fact is that Abraham
did not pay the tithe. No I am not trying to split hairs. Abram met Melchisedek. Abram has not yet had his name
changed. So what follows is really yet to happen.
3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made
like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment
to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins
of Abraham:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the
promises.
Abram was given promises. Abraham received them. And now Abraham, THE FATHER OF A MULTITUDE, is about to
render the tithe of his seed. We call it the REMNANT, THE BRIDE
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
This is an open reference to the prophetic nature of this whole passage. And an abstract reference to us today as the
fullness of the tithe THE RIGHTEOUS KING will be given.
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what
further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after
the order of Aaron?
THE ARMY OF GOD is a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD and all a priest is meant to be is a servant of GOD, AND GOD ALONE.
We often speak of Aaron and the ANOINTING because we esteem the anointing above obedient service. We cater to the
'royal' aspect and forget the priest did all the scut work of cleaning up after the sacrifice. ABBA made the blood sacrifice
everything but glamorous. Being a priest or levite did not give a man room to develop a ministry. unless he built his own
alter and his own idols. Sadly this is where most ''ministries'' begin and end.
THE ARMY OF GOD requires our being birthed in HIS HOUSE, and being 'trained' as servants not as superstar warriors
with booty to show off. ABBA has a plan and purpose for a specific few willing to 'pray the price', and submit to HIS
WILL.
It requires a cost as in Caleb's waiting nearly 70 years with only ABBA'S PROMISE.
It requires a complete obedience that goes far beyond our understanding as in the 300 that followed Gideon.
It requires a violent positive response to the leadings of the MOST HOLY SPIRIT as Saul rose up
It requires a devotion to our KING and our beloved in the midst of the wilderness.
It requires a "go for broke gamble" in faith as in Ittai.
It requires a simple and clear understanding of obedient duty over our own interests as in Shamgar
It requires us to take the place of a servant in HIS HOUSE. Not because we want in on the fight. But we desire to serve
ABBA above all else.
JESUS said many are called but few are chosen, but to be one of the 318.

The Armies Of God Part 8

Bob Neumann
THE FACELESS AND THE NAMELESS

For a very long time the disparity of what the Church should be and the way it presents itself has grieved and shocked
me. Like the lone Japanese soldiers found in deep and impenetrable jungles or on long forgotten islands long after their
war was over. What is 'real' today has nothing that resembles the bits and pieces of memory or dreams that they held on
to for so long. Of such is this image of the ARMY OF GOD. On the simple bible software the entire old testament has
but seven verses where the terms GOD and army appear together. And in none does GOD speak of the army as HIS. In
the new testament the term army only appears three times. The first time is in Acts and is a Roman soldier describing
the rescue/arrest of Paul. The last two mentions are in Revelations, first chapter 9, the army of the King's of the east
which numbers 200,000,000. Then in Rev 19 we finally find GOD has an army for John uses a third person personal
pronoun: "HIS army''. Therefore it is safe to surmise that the only actual army THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOSTS OF
HEAVEN actually acknowledges as ''HIS'' are those who follow HIM in HIS RETURN to make war with the beast. Yet in
verse 14 it says " And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and
clean.'' That one little 's' speaks of more than one army, yet outside of the angelic legions you wonder why we are so
jubilantly militant in our praise and worship while our sessions for early morning prayer and ''intercession'' are few and far
between.
In the body of the new testament, "soldier'' appears five times, and two of those times Paul is speaking to Timothy. Now
the term ''soldiers'' appears 23 times and refers to Roman soldiers only. Likewise the ''term'' warrior appears once in the
whole bible, Isaiah 9:4. Maybe if anyone would read this one verse and the context it is given the reality and scope of a
warrior of THE MOST HIGH GOD would lose it's romantic luster very quickly. The term ''warriors'' does not appear in the
new testament and the two references in the old testament deal with the same group of Benjaminites. Not "GOD'S got an
army" types by a long shot. So where has all this ''stuff'' come from?
Well we could say it all came from ''inspiration'', ''revelation'', or ''indoctrination''. But a little LOGOS is needed to fill those
claims. Remember that Paul who had a close relationship with many of Rome's finest being in tight proximity told us that
there is no place for vain and empty words:
Ephesians 5:6-7
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the
children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. (KJV)
Likewise Peter taught that "20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." So
what do we do with all the hoopla we have raised in this area? All the books sold, seminars staged, and ministries
erected without a firm scriptural anchor? Well first each of us is accountable for our own actions. And in the long run
obedience wins over sacrifice hands down. So let a little discernment and Wisdom guide you. In a real pinch simple
common sense will keep your feet firmly planted. Case in point there is a well known ''prophetic/prayer/intercession
ministry'' that declares that all in it bears the rank of "general''. It is the name of their ministry. Cute. Reminds me of the
story of too many chiefs and not enough indians. No army in history survived where everyone was giving orders and no
one was taking them. I wonder whether anyone is cognizant that all of these images which 'sound' good in many aspects
fail to get us any farther than where we already are?
Within our 'music', 'artwork', and our 'preaching' certain images have been portrayed about warriors and soldiers. These
images are derived by our remembrance of images experienced in our youth. Too often these images come from things
not quite biblical. Often we have a graphic visual image of a lone warrior with a banner lifted up. Dressed in shinny armor
with a large red cross emblazoned on the Breast Plate. This image has been around a long time now. A more recent
image is "THE BRAVEHEART'' image of rough dressed men standing together for a common cause. If you saw the movie
you may have noticed that the ones wearing shinny armor with crosses on their armor and their banners were the villains.
Selah.
So you may think my purpose is to 'come against' the stirrings in your heart for you have "seen'' the "Great End Times
Army''. No i am not. What i am called to do is to take those Hollywood DREAMS and TV VISIONS and to stand them up
against THE LORD OF HOSTS and HIS WORD. If your dreams vanish or your visions fade alongside HIS TRUTH be
thankfull now. For if they cannot take light evaluation in the time of peace which shortly wains, where would you be when
the battle rages? Behold a scripture verse to validate this 'point of view'!
Jeremiah 12:1-7
1 Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore
doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in
their mouth, and far from their reins.
3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like
sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
(This "day of slaughter'' is a lesser used term for THE END TIMES/THE DAY OF THE LORD)
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell
therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?
and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of
Jordan?
(Too many of our 'prayer warriors' have been wearied and wounded in a 'time of peace' that precedes the 'main event'.
Please read all of chapter 12 to understand why GOD is preparing to "JUDGE HIS PEOPLE")
6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they
have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7 I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the
hand of her enemies. (KJV)
(Yet is this not the world we are in(verse6) and the JUDGEMENT the prophets of today have continuously warned
about(verse7)????)
If your dreams and visions of GOD'S ARMY do not line up with any LOGOS image i assure you there will come images,
most unwanted. One such image is the statement of a Union General during the U.S. Civil WAR. He simply responded to
a question about a battle won with three simple words; "WAR IS HELL". He gave no room for the poetic or romantic in
the 'line of battle'. Yet we have had a strange evolution on how the 'average Christian' views spiritual warfare and it does
not encompass what the intercessors have travailed through over the years. Simply put this is error. Go a little deeper
and you may find deception.
There is an END TIME ARMY loyal and obedient to THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB. Many have
been called to it and have been given glimpses of it over the years. Throughout the Scriptures there are images and
shadows that have preceded it. Each adding to the full picture. Yet many ministries will see a scriptural image and take
one small aspect of it and begin to build ministries. If THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL blesses this ministry, keep on keeping
on. But if it has run itself into the ground and there is only grief and weakness where PEACE and STRENGTH should be
then reassess your position and march on.
Seven times this series was directed to bring forth an image and an attribute buried and 'lost' in the HEART of HIS
WORD that should shape together a scriptural image of the END TIMES ARMY. Now it is time to bring forth this image
in it's simple TRUTH and it's PROPHETIC implications that destroy the schemes and works of the enemy.
THE ARMIES OF GOD/ part 8 THE FACELESS AND THE NAMELESS, in other words the army no one recognizes and
no one notices, nothing to brag about. Absolutely nothing to build on for your own profit, recognition, or edification. Yet
that is all we have seen over the years. SO after an introduction that the lukewarm and the 'offended children' would have
decided not to persevere through here is THE ARMY OF THE LORD. THE PROPHETIC COMPANY THAT STANDS
AGAINST THE DARKNESS....EVEN IN THE MIDST OF DEEP DARKNESS.
This Army is wrapped about images that play out as we speak. In reality the story literally begins when man perverts a
GODLY ANOINTING and the TRUE END TIME BATTLE is seen. So we see the confrontation between the Son of
Disobedience, and THE FAITHFUL SERVANT....
1 Samuel 16:13-15.
13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the
LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
(now we have often read this verse but please notice what immediately occurred when a 'new anointed one' is
created)
14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
(immediately GOD withdraws HIS MOST HOLY SPIRIT and something most foul is quick to fill the gap. and no one had
any doubt what old Saul was troubled with. But to make things more interesting can i point something interesting out?
THE LAW of FIRST Mention places GOD SENDING an EVIL SPIRIT against a "ruler over Israel". In fact the situation is
mentioned in
Judges 9:22-23.
22 When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
23 Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem
dealt treacherously with Abimelech: (KJV)
GOD seems to create patterns and follows them even today. Maybe this might shed a new light on Ephesians 6:12. (I
pray it does)
So the Faithful SERVANT returns home to Ramah and is forgotten, for a season. But that 'evil spirit' has been given time
to grow and to fester, and according to nature and to the WORD strikes out to destroy David/Beloved. THE ANOINTED
ONE. In these end times there is only one place to flee. Let's look at it in KING JAMES.
1 Samuel 19:18-24
18 So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him.
And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying,
and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they
also prophesied.
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent
messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where
are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and
prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked
all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? (KJV)
You can say this is all a nice story. True but it is THE WORD and you need to allow deep to call to deep. Let's look at
Saul in his present state and an image he is playing out for us. THEN, Please allow me to translate this literally.
Saul is a King ruled by an EVIL SPIRIT that seeks to destroy GOD'S ANOINTED/BELOVED. ANY resemblance to
Daniel's and John's description of THE BEAST/ANTI-CHRIST is not a coincidence. We have been warned that THIS MAN
OF SIN would not only arise but to make war upon THE SAINTS. Daniel gives a time scale to this persecution, but few
will ever teach on it. THE PROPHETIC INSTRUCTION IN THIS SHORT PASSAGE POINTS US TO THE PLACE OF
SAFETY IN THE TIMES OF JACOBS TROUBLES. BUT IT SHOWS HOW TO HOLD THE BEAST AT BAY.
1 Samuel 19:18-24
18 So BELOVED/ANOINTED fled, and escaped, and came to GOD HEARS to THE HIGH PLACE , and told
him all that DEMAND had done to him. And he and GOD HEARS went and dwelt in THE PLACE OF
BEAUTY/CELEBRATION/REST.
19 And it was told DEMAND, saying, Behold, GOD'S BELOVED is at THE PLACE OF
BEAUTY/CELEBRATION/GOD'S PRESENCE in THE HIGH PLACE OF GOD.
20 And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying,
and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they
also prophesied.
(By this time you understand what the names of these places really mean. Now look at what the WORD says. Saul's
messengers run into a 'company' , it is only once used as company according to Dr Strong's Concordance. It comes
from an unused root meaning "no'' as in negation of something. Now look at how Samuel is described as 'standing'. Here
Dr Strong states to abide/stand/appoint. Now try to think of a military unit under command. Stationed and ready for the
battle that lays ahead. AND THE BATTLE DOES COME...IN THREE WAVES)
21 And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent
messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
(We often hear the old cliché 'the third time is a charm', but not for Saul and he has to go to Ramah himself.
But the battle does not change.)
22 Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where
are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
23 And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and
prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked
all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? (KJV)
I can assure you that King Saul had no intention to do like Balaam and to prophecy the WORDS GOD'S SPIRIT put in
his mouth. Likewise Saul never expected to strip himself naked before the old PROPHET and JUDGE. BUT THE WORD
OF GOD SAYS "I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE HEATHEN. I WILL BE EXALTED UPON THE EARTH.''
There is a funny thing about Ramah. According to some scholars it sat on a hill just to the north of the city of the
JEBUSITES. Even today we call it MOUNT ZION. And Naioth was somewhere there. Makes it easy to understand why
David chose to capture JERUSALEM, to make it HIS CITY, to erect THE TABERNACLE on ZION and the TEMPLE on
MORIAH. The place where MELCHIZEDEK ruled over Salem. WHERE ABRAHAM saw THE RAM. SELAH.
But the main issue is of this company of unnamed and unknown prophets who speak the WORDS of GOD that
demolishes the plans of the enemy. Reminds me of the 70 JESUS sent out as HE did the 12. No one knows there
names. No one sees there faces. Just servants/soldiers doing their job. And this is the final page in this story.
The Weapons of our Warfare are mighty. Yet they only have one purpose.
The SWORD of THE SPIRIT is THE RHEMA WORD OF GOD lifted in prayer against the powers of this world/present
age so "that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places."
BUT LIKE UNDER SAMUEL THE "COMPANY" DOES NOT FIGHT FOR ITSELF, BUT FOR A KING WHO IS
CONCERNED FOR HIS "SHEEP".
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the
mystery of the gospel,
20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
The ARMY OF GOD are the prophets who stand in THE DEEP DARKNESS of Isaiah 60 and let their LIGHT SHINE.
SPEAKING/DECLARING GOD'S WILL IN THE CAMP OF THE ENEMY TO FULFILL Isaiah 61.
The WATCHMEN GOD PLACED ON THE WALLS to intercede unto HIM on behalf of HIS PEOPLE as declared in Isaiah
62 that prepare the highway to ZION. They are not the watchmen chosen by a rebellious people that spurned GOD and
HIS PROPHET in Ezekiel 33.
Yes we hear it all the time from the pulpits across America and the WORLD. Yet no one discerns that GOD places on
man appointed hirelings the same level of accountability as HIS OWN PROPHETS carry. They just have no anointing
and move entirely in the flesh.
In the scope of these now eight images a solid image and description of GOD'S ARMY has been placed before you.
The first image is of ceaseless DETERMINATION. Look at Caleb.
The second image is uncompromising DISCIPLINE. Look at THE 300.
The third image is DIVINELY DRAFTED. Look at 'young' Saul.
The fourth image is an intimate DEVOTION. Look at Abishai and the men of valor.
The fifth image is a DISCERNMENT OF GOD'S WILL. Look at Ittai and those that stayed with GOD'S
BELOVED/ANOINTED.
The sixth image is DUTY, plain and simple. Look at Shamgar.
The seventh image is GOD'S DEPLOYMENT OF HIS SERVANTS. Look at the 318.
This final image combines all seven to create a "new thing'' in the land. The image of the DESTRUCTION of BABYLON
and all that stands against the GLORY OF GOD.
THIS IS NOT A GENERAL CALLING TO A REBELLIOUS PEOPLE, BUT A WORD OF CONFIRMATION TO THOSE
THE CAPTAIN HAS CALLED. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. HE WHO CALLED YOU, CHOSE YOU, ANOINTED YOU SHALL
SHORTLY PLACE AND EMPOWER YOU TO PERFORM THAT WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO DO.

Army of Light
Sonja Corazza
Nov. 16, 1998

"The nations of the world are going to come under more and more pressure. Men are going to faint
from fear. The earth shall tremble on its foundations and fire shall fall from the skies. All those who do
not know Me shall weep and their hearts will fail. At that point is when I shall send out the army of My
people encased in My light and glory to speak to those of failing heart about Fear of the Lord!
No longer shall the lion and the lamb fight but shall lie down together. It will be a new day on the earth.
It will be the end result of the groanings and tremblings of the creation.
Do not let your hearts fail, My people, for I am with you to hold you up, that you should not faint nor be
weary. The day is coming when all men will rejoice to see you coming for their hopes will be shattered
and in pieces. You will be a beacon of light to them.
Do not let your hearts fail from fear but know that salvation comes from the Lord. Look up for your
redeemer draweth nigh!"

A Rod to the Church

Jeff Rodrick
Behold what manner of love I have for my children! I am stretching out the days that they may be filled with my love and
compassion. Delightsome shall be the praises of my people as they turn to me the Father of all. Take this time of
refreshing my church hold back not my spirit. Rejoice oh ones who have felt the heat of my furnace for it shall not come
nigh thee ever again. But to those who turn their back upon my Spirit I shall fan them with the fan and stir the coals once
again to consume their iniquity away.
Rejoice oh daughter of Zion, for your land was dry, now it shall be filled, for in the day of judgement there is mercy, in the
day of darkness and gloom there lieth much joy, for mine anointed. Though the waters shall overflow there bounds and
the earth be carried captive by sin, yet shall my free spirit pour forth in floods of torrents just the same. Rejoice of
daughter and sing a new song from the midst of thee! Rejoice as they see your sorrow turn to joy and their joy turn to
sorrow, for ye are my faithful, a delightsome vineyard in my garden. Take ye horns and sing my praises, rejoice
forevermore, take not the cares of those who weep a doleful song for they have been drunken with their own blood of
deceit. Rejoice I say and sing!

A Revelation of Jesus
Bryan Hupperts
Today I was praying and I had an impression for intercession. I began to pray over the Mormon "church," the Jehovah's
Witnesses, the Muslims, yes, even the Catholic, Methodist, and dead "mainstream" Protestant churches that they would
get a real revelation of Jesus.
My sense was that God desires, and He will, in answer to the prayers of His people, begin to manifest Himself to true
seekers in these spiritually dark places. The name (if not the person) of Jesus is honored in many apostate religious
expressions. There are deceived, sincere people who would love God if only they had a real revelation of Him. I believe
that the Lord will begin to reveal Himself to those in those organizations who are really "hungering and thirsting" after
righteousness…IF…the saints of God will begin to intercede for a real revelation on behalf of those who are trapped in
apostate organizations that honor the name of Jesus but have no heart knowledge or correct teaching of the Truth.
In my spirit, I could see the Lord appearing in dreams, in synagogues, in temples, during Masses, whatever the situation,
calling people unto a saving knowledge of Himself and out of their Babylon.
This is a call to pray, to give ourselves to crying out for an outpouring of the Spirit of Truth. What we may look at as stone
dead and dry, God will often see through eyes of mercy as kindling to be ignited by the flame of His Spirit! Remember:
after Pentecost, many of the unconverted priests of a lifeless religion became "obedient to the faith."
With blessings,

The Art Of The Intercessor

Paul Bell
At first the call to the intercession seems overwhelming. The word "Intercessor" can be intimidating to say the least.
To "Stand in the Gap" is no less demanding. Today it seems that a lot is being said about the "Intercessor" and
intercession. I am not going to open up a Bible store try to prove what I say here. It is my intention to share insights
and some wisdom that our Father has given to me over the years in hopes that those of you who are called and have
questions may find some reassurance and instruction within.
I was called to intercede for the return of Jesus Christ in my lifetime. I was asked to do this by our Father Himself.
That is the way I look at it and that is the way I shall refer to it. I do not think that my call is the only call of this sort
although I must admit that I have not run into anyone else who puts it that way. I do think in my heart that others
must have the same call. Whatever.
First I want to clarify on the outset that to me there is a difference between one called to "Be an Intercessor" and
one who is called to intercede. As we all have been called in some way, as we grow in our relationship with God in
prayer, to one day intercede. So I see that many (and maybe all?) have the call to intercede at one time or another.
Most today I would believe fit into the calling, to intercede. And yet to some the call is more than to others. But to
some the call to intercede becomes more demanding and bends their lives into the call of the Intercessor. This is the
call to be an Intercessor. This one's life becomes the intercession. I do not say this as a proud thing or to set this
person up above others. But the call is not to intercede but to be the intercession itself. Let me try to explain.
Let us take for an example the hungry of a large city. God is calling for someone to stand in the gap to intercede for
these hungry. Those called to intercede for the hungry will enter into the call. They will feel the hunger. See the need.
Hurt as the hungry. Fast for the hungry. God will give them mercy and bring them into faith that He will supply all of
the needs for His children. Prayers will come and go. Faith will rise and even warfare will be released. Victory will
come and God will move. This is intercession. But to the Intercessor the call will overtake his life. He will become
one of the hungry. Not just to fast and pray but will be called to identify with the hungry. To be pulled in the plight
right along with the hungry. The need of the hungry will become his need. Wherever he goes he will feel the pressure
of the hungry weighing him down. The hungry themselves would not have it this bad. God will move upon this
Intercessor to the point where he must rise up or die. The burden will be so heavy upon the Intercessor that he will
as though he will die if God does not come to his aid. Not just for the hungry, but he will feel as though his very soul
is in jeopardy. Then as he is given the victory the walk back to being filled will also be a walk of being pressed in.
The battle will have just begun. On a water fast that lasts longer that 21 days, when you finally bread that fast, it is
important that you eat just the right foods and eat at the right times. The "breaking of the fast" is also a discipline for
you own bodies sake. So too is the walking out of the position gained important.
Finally as the "ground is given" the Intercessor will never hunger again. Now this is just an example and not a pattern
for intercession for the hungry. Only an example to show what I mean when I say that there is a difference between
those called to intercede and those who are Intercessors. The reason I make this distinction is to set some of you
Intercessors free. Your lives are not your own and if you try to figure them out you will go nuts. You are a
Prophecy. You are the Prayer. You are an intercession. Your life can never be as others are. What others can do
and be blessed in doing you will never be able to do. Your life can become very confusing to the onlooker and even
to you. Sometimes you will feel as though you are double minded. But you are not as I intend to reveal with the
Lord's help.
The Intercessor has many seasons. During these different seasons you will find yourself involved in different
disciplines. This is important for the Intercessor to realize. Too many Intercessors have taken their disciplines to
become law and even bent them into doctrines. This is not good. Let me give you two examples.
Years ago I was doing a lot of conference teaching on the Occult and Satanism. I was seeing a lot of people set free
and was involved as the overseer of our deliverance ministry. During this time the Lord asked me, when I spoke
about others that have symbols of witchcraft that brought unwanted activity from the demonic, how could I then
carry one of the most powerful demonic symbols in my pocket with me every day.
Wow! did that take me for a loop. Me? Everyday? Lord, tell me of this grievous sin. And the Lord told me to take
out the one dollar bill that I had in my pocket. Turn it over He said and there on the back was the "seal of the
Illuminati". He said, "This evil representation is causing My Kingdom much grief". So I burned them all (I did not
have very many). As I was a leader overseeing several churches at the time the word got around. I know that the
first time I shared it with a fellowship they all burned their one dollar bills. Back then we were into burning all sorts of
stuff that we thought were links to the underworld. Anyway, right after I took the call from the Lord for me to not
carry any one dollar bills the US treasury department came out with the two dollar bill and also the one dollar coin.
This was great for me as this made life much easier.
Well as time when on, after a year or so, the Lord then one day asked me, "Now Paul can you carry the one dollar
bill in faith?" Of course I said, "No Lord you know I will not." (I always think my disciplines are forever. But the
Lord said, "Paul what I bless is blessed indeed. Carry the one dollar in faith and know that I am more powerful than
any symbol." So I took up the one dollar and have used it freely from that time on. But…. You see others were not
so easily moved. Many became angry that I would give up and become defiled.
Point one. What God gives you to do does not need to be broadcast all over the place. He is calling you to a
discipline unto Him and not too theirs.
Two, be ready for Him to change or redirect your disciplines. He is the boss and you are the clay. Each of these
anointed times of disciplines will in time fit into a divine placement down the road. You will draw on them at later
dates. They will make all kinds of sense then but maybe not now. I have often wondered, Lord what was that all
about? Thank you so much for this opportunity to be with you but why, Lord why?????
The second example: In the beginning the Lord called me to fast "every other day". And that I began to do. Every
other day, eat one day, fast the next. This went on for several years until one day after a long 40 day fast and then
back to the every other day fast the lord said, "Paul what you are fasting for I will give you a down payment. Eat on
the new day of the week." And so from then on I have eaten on Sundays. But you see this makes it hard or
impossible to fast every other day and eat on Sundays, as the days are odd and not an even number. So now my
every other day fast is sometimes eat two days in a row. Now this may seem very strange to the reader. Why am I
telling you about this? I want to illustrate my point. A discipline is just that. God can and will change it. And at times
He will tell me not to fast when I am away on a trip if fasting would bring undo attention to myself by fasting in
someone's home. So I eat and say nothing. This is just fine with Dad.
Now on other times I have been pressed into a discipline and I knew that I could not break even on one little detail.
If told to go to Four Corners of the room and I walk a circle; this is not good enough. I will have to go back to the
Four Corners. Why? Well our God is not a Tame God. Mark it down. In His home there are some very strange
creatures. They would look wild to us but to Him they are normal. And when He wants Four Corners then Four
Corners he shall have. It is by getting to know Him that one learns when the direction is a must and when it is
bendable. More on this later.
I will make a statement: The Intercessor is a Prophet. All intercessors are prophets. I have heard others say that all
prophets are not intercessors. I do not know about that. And I am not too worried about it, as I am sure that all
Intercessors are Prophets. Prophets are from the five (or four) fold Offices. And now it is important to look into the
Bible for a little Bible study. I know that I said this is not a bible study and that I am not trying to prove any points
but I only want to really expand your thinking right after I have gotten your attention.
So to the Book of Ephesians chapter 4 and verses 11 though 16 we will look.
"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as
pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of
the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of
God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature, which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a
result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by
every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking
the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, from
whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to
the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of
itself in love."
To understand the goal of all intercession one must understand that God the Father directs all from His viewpoint.
And that is to fulfill His Revelation of His Son Jesus Christ and to present to Him the reward of that revelation. And
He (the He here is Jesus, see vrs. 7-10) gave these gifts as Some Prophets (Intercessor) and within this giving the
goal is seen in the following verses. Just as true Prophecy is the Testimony of Jesus Christ so also is the intent of the
offices given to bring us all into the fullness of the head Jesus Christ. These verses are the deep pull you feel as you
are interceding. This is the goal that we are being moved to.
We are not called to just one aspect of intercession. Not the river, but you may intercede for the river. Not revival,
but you may intercede for revival. Not the Harvest, but you may be called to intercede for the Harvest. As you
understand this it is easier to realize some of the feeling you may have. In the spirit many things can go on at the same
time and not be a conflict. One time the Father told me that He can "pay full attention" to just me and do the same
for each and every child. Now this kind of statement does not make sense to the natural mind. But in His viewpoint
there is no other way to put it. He is not tame. He is not a man and when we try to understand Him in our human
limitations the feeling of confusion takes place. But open your minds to His Spirit and you will not have a problem
with His Grandness. He is the Lion of Judah but yet the Lamb of God at the same time. This is no conflict in nature
for Him. To be mercy and wrath both at the same time is no conflict for Him.
So to understand that in each intercession that He calls you to there is a grander scheme. He is leading all of us to a
very distinct result. My point here is to have you understand that in each intercession you are a team member in the
Body of Christ and that each and every intercession is bringing us into a fuller and more mature expression of Jesus
Christ. And we will be made whole. And we will see this work done for the one who began it will finish it. We are
gaining ground for the whole body. The foundation that is laid in 1 Cor. 3:11 "For no man can lay a foundations
other than the one which is lain, which is Jesus Christ." The foundation that has been lain is, "to know the Father
though His son Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit". And this is the foundation that we as
Prophet/Intercessor are called to bring forth.
Now let us look at some of the tools we use in intercession. I (we) use many tools for intercessions. The physical
tool is only a "point of physical contact" for our faith. Does one really need these tools? Tools like, real swords,
staffs, ram's horns, oil, and the list goes on and on. The imagined sword, staff, trumpet and stuff. Well first let me say
definitely yes and definitely no. So Paul, which is it? Both. And here is the question of the Four Corners. When will it
make a difference? That is the test of your relationship with the Father. I have had to climb Mt. Sinai in Israel for real
to do an intercession. And I have only had to speak into the heavens to intercede for Zion. Go figure. The interplay
with the Father is the most important revelation that you can have. To understand that this whole walk is not to do
but to be. In the Kingdom it is not what you do but whom you know. It is not only the obedience that we walk out it
is the relationship that comes before, during, and after with our Father that counts. If you do not see this then you
will find your activities only frustrating you.
I (we) have found that at times when we are in closed meetings (which I highly recommend – only those who are
called to intercession and not those who need ministry) we do use effectively swords, staffs, horns, oil, and many
other tools. But these are indeed just tools. Tools that say to the physical world what in the spirit world we believe
to know that we have. The reality to these tools can not be denied. For under the skillful hand of faith these tools do
become, as we use them, powerful and mighty weapons. Is this not the case with water baptism and the Lord's
supper? No matter what you doctrine is concerning these two most will admit that the physical does make a
difference to the spiritual. The key in this, as with all things, is the relationship between the lord and the user of
intercession tools. That is the story here. If you do not understand that "knowing Him" is the key to the keys of the
Kingdom you can just swing that sword and the demons will watch in glee as they mock you and your sword. But
on the other hand when the Glory of the Lord is glowing upon you from the closeness you share with Him you can
hold up an imaginary sword and the principalities and powers will flee from you. This also is true with statement like,
"plead the blood of Jesus", "in Jesus Name", "I bind you…" and such sayings are only sayings unless they are
backed with time spent with Him.
INTERCESSION IS THE LEVERAGE GAINED BY RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR HEAVENLY

FATHER.
Let me give to you the model of our corporate intercession. We first are sure that before we come together each
person is all prayed up. Clean and ready to go into intercession. As we come together we do as little hellos as we
can get by with and keep talk to a minimum. We then circle up by holding hands and have time of open prayer of
unity. Asking Holy Spirit to come and to bring us into His presence. Sometimes the Lord will bring us into a burden
and others not but even as intense as this can get we know that we are just beginning. From there we breakup and
move into intense worship and warfare from an individual perspective. Some may be on the floor quiet before him.
Others are marching, dancing, singing, proclaim orders into the heavens. This is a very personal time with our Father.
This is the most important time in the Intercessor's life. To be able to obtain the private closeness to Him as you have
while alone in your closet yet be in the midst of the multitudes. We move into the intimate. His heart of hearts. And
as we bask in His Glory the "need" arises. It comes from within and yet from Him. It is the meeting of the need that
brings the release. The time asking, learning, doing, warring, worshipping, all the things that have gone on before rise
up in both the Father and me. The need meets as one. And now becomes the TIME. No longer the lessons. No
longer the Cries. No longer the groans. No longer the asking but the need has been met. This is the time to then turn
from the Throne and walk into the face of the need and speak forth.
Now here is the wisdom that He has taken so long to teach. The Word must go forth. Prophesied. Spoken within
that authority that came from the meeting of you and our Father when the need from Him met the need from you and
the two became one. The word must be spoken out. The timing is important and the place and so on and so forth
but that you will know. The important thing is that the word must be spoken as a commandment. Not a plea. Not in
asking. No longer is it "Father if you will". No longer is it to the Father but FROM HIM THE WORD HAS
COME.
If the need was food for the hungry then speak forth food. Do not be shy about it. Speak if forth. Speak to the wind,
prophesy to the heavens. Declare to the hungry. Be fed. Hungry no more. Food come forth. Food come forth. We
tend to get this all backwards. I have seen so many begin an intercession by the powerful word. Declaring that which
is not to be that which is. And somewhere in the middle they come to the Father pleading with Him. And then when
He has given that which was asked for the word that comes forth is weak, and pleading and begging. Yes it is
begging and nagging when He gives you something and you still keep asking for it. Father give them food. Yes son
here it is. Father please give them food. Yes son, take what you need and more than you can for all is yours. Father
you promised. Oh look at the hungry. And to the hungry you say, "hungry you need food so Father will you give to
them food?" How many times did Jesus get after His disciples and tell them that they could do what he was doing.
You feed them. "Where is you faith?" He would ask them. Today we must learn this process of asking, paying the
price, receiving and then seeing the thing done. We are weak in seeing it done. We are being pressed in.
As I have said I have been at this, as many others have, for a long time. And I say that to tell you that things are
moving along at a very fast pace. So many more are being called into the Intercession. They are being called as
Intercessors. What was taking years to see even the least little bit of progress is now only taking weeks and even
days to see the process coming from the throne of the Lord and become a reality upon the earth. So it is very
exciting for me. We are living in the very best time of History ever yet.

A Season Coming
Wayne C. Anderson
Prophecy
February 18, 1998
Healing School
Revival Outreach Center
Dover, Florida
We have come to a place when the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. We must come to that place
where we recognize there is a season coming upon us. For all of that anointing which was from before to come forth and
come back into the church. That we now see and we once saw. Therefore I say don't look simply at the lives of those
who did great things in Christ before except to learn from them. Both their mistakes as well as their victories and
recognize that those things are upon us now. Those are the things that are with us now. The times of the season are
about us now, because He says "the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings" and this is a new day.
There's an army arising who is filled with this new wine of God's love and it is a substance that begins to come forth to be
pour out of them. As the substance is poured out of the Spirit of God unto them. Then this substance begins to overflow
and pour out of them. And it pours out of them upon the nations for the divine purposes of God. And there comes that
season when the Sun of Righteousness rises with healing in its wings and the answer then is this that we will go forth
and skip about like calves from a stall - [sort of starts looking like some of our revival meetings you know, calves from a
stall being loosed.]
You will tread down the wicked. Thus Joel prophesied. We will tread down the wicked. We will; it is a season and this
season has come upon us. Has Jesus not constantly told us that the Kingdom is like unto a lord who has servants and
he leaves for another land to return, but the hour in which he returns you do not know. So therefore when he comes back
and he finds that the servants are lazy and not doing these things, he will do as He has said! The message in this is;
don't be one of those wicked servants. Recognize that He will return in an hour you have no idea.
He returns in many ways, don't be bound up by this returning thing. Don't be bound up. There is a great and terrible day
of the Lord where He's coming in His glory. But He also promises He's coming in other ways. He sends His messenger
before Him. The messenger of the covenant in who you delight. He sends His presence, He sends His messengers. Just
like in the vineyard. He sends His servants and then after that "a servant" and then finally He sends His own Son and if
you beat the servants and you beat the vineyard owner's representatives, if you beat and kill the Son He's going to come
in His wrath. You don't want to do that. He sends the visitation and the visitors. He sends the visitors with a visitation of
Him. It looks like Him, looks like His kingdom, it appears to be His kingdom but it's only a facsimile - it's only a type and
shadow. He comes in His presence. He pours out. Welcome His visitation. Welcome His servants. Welcome His
servant, and you will welcome His Son in His Glory!
Suddenly He comes by the power of His Spirit. He suddenly shows up in a church service. He suddenly shows up in a
whole movement of God. He suddenly comes. Don't negate the visitation that you're in. Recognize the time and the
season and go forth with that time and season. Operate in that time and season. Move out in the time and season. This
is the time and season and the major thing that holds you back is the fact that you're still waiting for the season to
come. But I tell you, He comes like a thief in the night, not in an hour you know. This is the hour. The signs of the time
are about you so it's time to move. Now is the time to move. Now is the time to move.
This is the greatest time to be alive. By no measurement system can you measure the sign of this time. This is so far
ahead of any other time, this is so far. If you are still stuck in the confines of the pains of what was before then I invite
you to come out from among them and be ye separate and bring forth the radical change of your life so that you do not
miss the coming of the Son of God. You do not miss any visitor or visitation, because this is the time where He has sent
the messengers of the covenant in whom you delight. Don't miss them, don't miss them, don't miss them.
Open your eyes and see that the hills are ablaze! Just look upon the horizons. Stop looking down at the dirt and start
looking at the horizons and see that those who are for you far out number those who are against you. There are chariots
of fire upon those hills and if you would but open up your eyes to see that those chariots of fire are on those hills in a
stance, and poised, and ready, and moving, and the nostrils of the horses of those chariots are ablaze and their eyes are
fire in themselves, and bolts of lightening are held in the hands of the messengers and the visitors that are riding in those
great chariots, and they are headed towards the valley of decision. The valley of decision, even now they're standing and
they're ready. And all it takes is a breath from the Father and they will be released upon this place like you cannot
believe.
They will be released upon your life in a manner and a measure that you have never seen and never understood and never
had the capacity of understanding. If you would just look upon the horizon you would see it is but a little time - it is but
little time. Just look at the expressions upon the warriors' faces and you'll see that there's an expression of steel to their
countenance. They are in the fight mode, they're ready to let the blood of the enemies of the cross. They're prepared to
let the blood of the enemies of the cross. And the sword that is in their hand is the sword of the Spirit which is the
spoken - the acute, spoken Word of God. And they wield that sword with the majesty, the regal majesty of a soldier of
light and life and love and one who is experienced beyond measure, who's skill is beyond measure of anything that you've
ever seen before. They will NOT lose. They WILL win. And they've been sent on your behalf, by the very voice of the
Father as tutors, yeah, tutors unto you, who as a child of the King and has no ability to take life in your own hands. No
ability to rule the kingdom because you're but a child. But these wonders, these visitors, these tutors unto you are ready
to execute judgment on your behalf. And it's time to see, it's time to stop looking at what you see and start looking on
the horizon and see what is truly real.
That which is very real. That which is around us is not the real. The vision of the revival is what is truly real. That is the
real and there is no sickness or disease that has prominence. You must not receive the prominence or the providence of
that which comes from the enemies of Jesus' cross. That which hung Him up there and was given unto you.
It is now time to rebel against everything that hung Jesus on that cross. Go into utter rebellion against it and fight tooth
and nail. And should you lose your life in the battle; there's a winner's victorious crown for you. A martyr's crown for you
in the midst of it, but, if you give into it, (which is the only other thing you can do is give in) and of that you would be
marked as a treasonist traitor for the Kingdom for which you fight!
Oh, don't enter into it. Don't enter in to any sickness, disease or prominent figure of the demonic realm whereby vile,
rejection of the will of God in Christ Jesus would be taking prominence in your life. Now is not the time for that. Now is
the time to rise up and realize that this is a time of rejoicing and celebration for the hills in a complete circle around you
are covered with the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof.
This is a time of your inheritance!
Comin' straight at you! Electronically!

A Shepherd In Every Believer

Heriberto Gonzalez
I am calling each and every one of my sons and daughters in these final days to prepare to be used in the great and
ONLY ONE COMMISSION that I gave you (Matthew 28:19-20). Do not wait anymore for any other call. Look at my
servants Israel (Genesis 30:27-31), Joseph (Genesis 37:2), Moses (Exodus 3:1), David (1 Samuel 16:11), and Peter
(John 21:15-17). They were feeding other's sheep. Just after this preparation I gave them a Calling without repentance.
The coming harvest will be so abundant that only a great army of shepherds around the world will be able to gather it and
sustain it. You must care for my new sheep, so that the fruit remains, and so the deceiver does not snatch away the
seed of the my Word. Do not act like Jonah did, fleeing from my Call, closing yourselves in your own selfishness.
My Spirit is breaking your cold and apathetic hearts, so you can see my glory, so you can receive my Call without
repentance.
Feed my lambs, feed my sheep, feed my flock, that is my Call. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord
hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when he
cometh shall find so doing.!
I am calling each and every one of my sons and daughters in these final days to prepare to be used as my PROPHETS.
Yes, each and every one of you my sheep. On my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in this final days of
my Spirit; and they shall prophesy (Acts 2:18). Remember, I am Jesus the Lord God of the holy prophets (Revelation
22:6 and 22:16).
I am calling each and every one of my sons and daughters in these final days to be an INTERCESSOR for those which
shall believe on me through you. Yes, I also want you to be TEACHING to my sheep to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you.
Do not follow signs anymore; Let signs follow you. In my Name you must cast out devils; in my Name you must lay
hands on the sick, and they will recover, but DO NOT FORGET that I gave JUST ONE COMMISSION.
" The Spirt of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor;
He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." LUKE 4:18

Asking Jesus To Die

Paula Askew
Dearest Brother and Sisters,

I have been blessed by reading a book by [Rick] Joyner called Visions of the Harvest. I highly recommend it to read. I am
going to need prayer on something he brought out in the book, about asking Jesus to die, that is for Jesus to kill you with
putting the Sword through the heart. I did this and ask my son to do it he did it with no blink of the eye I did it with great
joy, and will continue to ask others to ask Jesus to do also to them if they want to die.
That is not the prayer though, the prayer is for the saints that I have ministered in the pass to forgive me for not allowing
Him to kill me sooner, because I have been angry at the people who have been in His house but not wanting all of Him
and I myself was the biggest sinner of all, by being a part of the war that has been going on in the church. This war has
been controlled by jealousy, and fear. They using rage and lawlessness to keep it fueled up. I have repented, and now
ask for prayer from those ones who, of the House of God, are lights of love and healing. Thank you for your faithfulness
and patience of love for the Glory. Jesus spoke to Rick Joyner that He will share His Glory even with those who have not
ask Him to die. He, knowing that they, with the Glory might be saved. Thank you Jesus for Your unfailing Love, Let the
Spirit and the Bride say come!
Once again I apologize for my anger, and for my lack, with much love now, as I die daily,
Paula Askew to the Churches all over the world.

As In The Days Of Noah

Barbara Pugh,
Nottingham, Nottinghamshire:
Email: rodpugh@innotts.co.uk
This is a picture that has been growing within me since November, and fits in with the excellent IRN digest by Tony Black
in January - The Refiners Fire.
The Picture.
The picture is of an urban landscape. It has streets, factories and tower office blocks. Everything on the surface appears
to be quite normal. People are going about their daily business; working, playing, marrying.
However, beneath the surface the water is rising. The basements are filling up with water from underground streams. This
water has been there for some time, but is rising quickly now; moving and washing away the mortar between the bricks,
destabilizing timbers and soaking into the plasterwork which rises even up to the ground floor levels.
Then a strong wind blows; an earth tremor, not large in itself but just enough to shake the ground a little. The effect on
the destabilizing structures is dramatic! The buildings just implode and collapse into the underground river; the
Archimedes effect causes the river to rise up and the whole 'waste places are made low' and covered with water as in a
flood.
I saw people dancing, drinking, and being completely unaware of the fact that their 'security' was sinking into the waters.
They were unprepared, disbelieving and blind to the reality of the situation.
Then my attention was drawn to the vast sheet of water that now stretched as far as the eye could see. It was soaking
into the ground, softening the hard earth, washing away the blockages, bringing life giving water to the seeds that had
lain dormant for so long.
Interpretation.
The buildings in the picture are the religious structures, denominations, movements etc. They are also representative of
the various tiers of 'authority structure' in the local church. The underground river rising and moving are those of the
ordinary people who have been renewed and have shared the love of Jesus 'underground' informally, in groups, prayer
meetings, email, etc., but have had to conform to the religious and legalistic norms of the traditional church service. The
buildings collapsed as the result of a comparatively small tremor because the foundations of religion and legalism had
been infiltrated by the river of the Spirit; and the high profile people were suddenly in the water with the nameless,
faceless ones. Some of these high profile ministries will quickly repent and be part of the flood that will bring water to a
thirsty world, but some will sink.
The people still partying appeared to be referring to those who have been to all the conferences; laughed, danced, rolled
around on the floor for a year or three, but have demonstrated little fruit of repentance in their lives.
They seem so busy getting a 'holy fix' that they neither see nor heed the warning signs.
The sheet of water all at the same level is the army of 'nameless, faceless ones', now free to share the love of Jesus
without hindrance; the latter rains immediately prior to the harvest that will allow God's Kingdom to be on earth as it is in
heaven. The rivers of worship and healing, and of repentance and intercession, appear to be merged in this sea of
compassion and glory.

A Spiritual Nut-Cracker
By Rev. Jerrell H. Miller
"His heart is to bring spiritual pressure from the two sides of this nut-cracker to break open the "hard shell" of
Washington, DC. To form this "nut-cracker", He has been opening ancient wells in Maryland and Virginia, in areas which
have known true spiritual awakenings in the past."
Bart Pierce, Baltimore Rock Church Pastor
HAMPTON, VA September 7, 1998--

The unexpected happened when I was driving from Baltimore to the revival meeting in Hampton, Va.. I was on the
Washington, DC beltway, in sight of the Washington monument, when I got boxed in behind a tractor trailer carrying a
street sweeping machine filled with street dust and rocks. My mini van started to be hit with rocks and before I could
escape I had a cracked windshield. Normally, this would have given me a mini case of road rage, but I understood the
enemy was upset by the prophetic breakthrough and display of unity soon to happen.
On Friday, August 21, 1998, Pastor Bart Pierce of the Rock Church of Baltimore ministered at Bethel Temple in
Hampton, Va., along with the Rock Church worship team and band. Pastor Ron Johnson of the Bethel Temple said,
Prophetic destiny is upon this night. Our nation is in the midst of a huge crisis. Pastor Johnson then read from the
cracking the hard shell of Washington, a prophetic word given by Rick Ridings on 2/16/98. Here is an excerpt...
The Lord has His eye on Washington, DC at this time. In His sovereign plan, he has been preparing a "spiritual nut-
cracker" which is being formed by what He is doing in Maryland and Virginia. His heart is to bring spiritual pressure from
the two sides of this nut-cracker to break open the "hard shell" of Washington, DC. To form this "nut-cracker", He has
been opening ancient wells in Maryland and Virginia, in areas which have known true spiritual awakenings in the past.
Although He is reopening wells in many churches and cities in these states, there are two wells which have been
reopened to the point that they are beginning to tap into "artesian springs" which will soon result in large numbers
coming to the Lord. These two wells are in Baltimore, MD, and in the Tidewater area of Virginia.
I felt that the "focal points" of this particular well digging were in the Rock Church in Baltimore, and Bethel Temple in
Hampton, Virginia. I felt He said that the intercessors in these churches and cities are to not only continue to dig down
locally, but also to tunnel through to Washington, DC. When the tunnels from Maryland and Virginia meet each other in
Washington, then a new well will spring up in that desert.
The band and worship team transferred into prophetic breakthrough worship, singing the spontaneous verse, We need
more of You, come Holy Spirit, come. The presence of the Lord came crashing in a powerful way, breaking open the
heavenlies. Those in the crowd, still able to stand, are visibly shaken by the sudden appearing of the Lord. Pastor Bart
lays prostrate on the floor, and Pastor Dennis from Glory Tabernacle in Washington, DC rocks back and forth on his
knees. Both are having a strong encounter with the Lord. Pastor Johnson calls forward the intercessors from Baltimore
and Hampton and says, This is no ordinary meeting tonight, you are here by divine appointment.
Pastor Johnson, Pastor Dennis and Pastor Pierce join arm in arm. Pastor Johnson prays, crack that hard shell in
Washington we pray breakthrough. Forge us as one instrument, as two sides of a nutcracker fastened with a hinge,
hinge us together. Draw many others to come together to make up the handles Lord. Tear down all that would keep us
from unifying, let it be for the saving of a nation.
Pastor Dennis saw a vision of an umbrella of His glory covering the area from Baltimore to Hampton. He saw a cracking
of the hard shell over Washington begin during tonight's high worship. He saw the Congress full of flames, and tongues of
fire over the White House. In the midst of the flames a scarlet thread was woven through the streets of Washington until it
was tied into a beautiful ribbon with the thread.
Pastor Pierce prayed, strengthen the hearts who dig a tunnel, till glory goes from church to church location to location.
Lord help us dig in shifts to lay hold to this prophetic word. The 3 pastors then prayed for the intercessors to be
strengthened as they dig down locally, but also tunnel through to Washington, DC to bring a new well of His glory to that
city. Needless to say it was a powerful time and the slain of the Lord were many. Pastor Pierce then shared the
prophetic symbol of bread from Baltimore, representing the bread of His presence. The people of Hampton were so
hungry for more of His glory, more of His presence in their homes, work place, city and church. They literally ran and
swarmed forward to get a small piece of bread, representing His presence. This reminded me of the time I was with
Pastor Pierce in the town square of Timisoara, Romania, not long after Ceausescu was executed and we gave Romanian
Bibles as a gift to the people. For decades they had been denied the light of God's word and they pressed for a copy of
the Bible. People were trampled, clothes torn, people crushed against a subway wall. Someone would have been killed or
injured if an angel had not relieved the press. Lord, let a hunger for your presence consume the nation's capital and may
it fall in your city and church. A crack in the hard shell of Washington has definitely occurred. Since the 8/21/98 meeting,
political leaders in Washington have contacted us seeking to learn how to draw closer to our Lord.

A Time of New Beginnings

Larry Silverman
The Lord exploded a bomb in Battle Creek this week! We made public the following information: That
on Nov. 1, 1998 two churches, Faith Assembly Christian Fellowship, a predominantly black church
and New Harvest Fellowship, a predominantly white church will merge. Due to this information we
made the front page of the paper and last night we had an "Letter to the Editor" and the paper wrote
an editorial entitled, "Merging of churches offers a lesson for the community." The last paragraph of
the editorial read, "We look forward to what can be achieved by this fine group of people, and to the
ripples they will send across the community in the years ahead. Perhaps we do live in an enlightened
age, after all." Of course the editorial only deals with the racial issue but we will soon reply with the fact
that what is occurring can only come by what Christ is doing in our hearts.
We have been developing this merger since July. Faith Assembly, whose location is only 2 blocks
down Michigan Ave. from ours, actually began as a church at our current location. The first year alone
they had over 200 people come to the Lord. When the location was turned to a bar/nightclub they
began to pray that someday another church would go back in there. We were the ones. Their pastor,
Bishop Eugene McCoy came into one of our meetings in June and said that, "he just had to meet the
pastor of this church." We soon had lunch together and he preached for us one night and I preached
for him the following Sunday. Everytime we've gotten together we've experienced a move of God. For
the past 2 weeks we have moved our nightly renewal meetings there and we've actually witnessed
waves of the Holy Spirit break upon us. FA is very ripe for revival and the love they have for us and the
entire community just is not normally found in many churches. The feeling of unity has been manifested
since the very first time we came together. We also felt that because our vision for the City is very
close to that of FA it would make no sense at all to duplicate efforts. For instance, we've been praying
for a van to transport homeless people in, FA already has a van. We've had a burden to feed the poor,
FA already is doing this. Our vision is for the Inner City, FA's vision has been for the Inner City for
years and has such ministries already in place to reach out, one a new ministry to "latchkey kids"
begins next Monday afternoon with homework help, snacks, computer training and fun, but most of all
an introduction to Jesus.
What really excites me is that my chief responsibility will be to bring revival to the church! This bunch of
people is hungry and ready and already God is honoring His word with signs and wonders. And in last
night's meeting we officially went international with the ministry as Bishop Andrew Igwe from Nigeria
brought the 26 African churches he represents into our fellowship. This is a great blessing for our
family as our son in law is Nigerian and we have been praying for a revival there for over 3 years now.
By the way it's there too. The country is being totally invaded by the Holy Spirit.
On Sunday, Nov. 1 our group will march the 2 blocks down the street to be welcomed by the FA folks.
If you are free we would like to invite you to attend. This is more than just between FA and NHF it is
very much a "God thing!" I hope you can feel it in your spirit. If you would like more information on
attending send me a reply email or call (616) 965-1083.
Please keep us in prayer. We know that "snags" will show up but we also know that His love will
overcome any problems.
Many blessings,

Jesus Took a Towel

by Bill Somers
Some time ago I heard a taped message by a well known minister with the title of: Jesus Took a
Towel. The text was these verses from John 13.
John 13:
1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he
should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the
world, he loved them unto the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son, to betray him;
3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come
from God, and went to God;
4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to
wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know
hereafter.
8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee
not, thou hast no part with me.
9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean
every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again,
he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one
another's feet.
15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent
greater than he that sent him.
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
There are many messages you can preach from the above verses. The importance of servant hood.
The need to be cleansed by Jesus. The betrayer in the midst. The way to set an example. Etc., Etc,
What the Lord showed me was something quite different. It began when He got my attention by
something very odd in the text. Look again at verse 5. "After that he poureth water into a bason, and
began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded."
What is so strange about this is that Jesus is wiping the men's feet on a towel that he is wearing, not
one that he is carrying.
My wife will often give her dog a bath. When she does, she puts on an apron to keep herself clean and
dry and she uses one or more towels to dry the animal.
But Jesus is wiping the men's feet on himself! He is getting the mud and filth off their feet and on to the
towel he is wearing, onto himself. This is really strange! And it's awkward: You try doing that!
The bible is full of strange things like that. Often they are clues that there is a deeper spiritual meaning
to be found in the passage.
Salvation
First of all we need to see that the washing of the feet represents our salvation.
Peter says to him "Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast
no part with me." So what does this tell us? It tells us this.
Unless we are cleansed by Jesus, washed in His blood, we can not have any part with Him. That is
we can't have any relationship, we can't know Him as our personal savior without the cleansing of the
blood. The foot washing then is a picture of our salvation.
Next we consider the fact that Jesus is getting his towel that he is wearing all dirty, while he is washing
the men's feet.
The Sin Bearer

The deeper meaning here comes from the idea that clean garments represent righteousness, and that
filthy garments represent sin. We find a reference to filthy garments in Isaiah.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; ….
Isaiah 64:6
And clean garments are spoken of in revelation.
… And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Revelation 7:14
And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for
the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Revelation 19:8
So Jesus washed the disciples feet but in the process all their dirt, which stands for sin, gets on him.
What this passage is showing is that Jesus cleansed us by taking our sin upon himself.
We can see it stated in another way in Peter, who speaking of Jesus, says:.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins,
should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Peter 2:24
And also these passages from 2nd Corinthians and Galatians say something quite similar.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him. 2nd Corinthians 5:21
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is
written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians 3:13
It is also found in the old testament when the ministry of the suffering servant, Messiah, is prophesied.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my
righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Isaiah 53:11
What this is saying is that Jesus took our sin upon himself, or he became sin, or became a curse, for
our redemption.
Here are two more verses closely related to this theme.
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his
life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall
he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:28
His normal clothes represent his Divine nature. That is what he set aside when he became a man to
suffer and die for us.
The towel representing his human nature was clean, reflecting his sinless condition. But in saving us
he had to take on our sin. And so the towel gets all dirty as he does this service. This is what the foot
washing illustrates.
When He is finished, he sets aside the dirty towel and puts his own clothes back on. This speaks of
Jesus once again taking on the Divine nature after his resurrection.
There is a veiled reference to this in the book of Zechariah, where Joshua the high priest is a type of
Jesus.
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and
Satan standing at his right hand to resist him
And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that
hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the
filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to
pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. Zechariah 3:1-4
This scene shows Jesus as a man coming to the judgment seat of the father, still bearing our sins.
And we see the Lord, [the Father] rebuke Satan the accuser. After all Jesus was innocent! Then he
gets a change of raiment, new clothes. His divine nature is restored to him before he is raised from
the dead.
Another passage depicting the servant hood of Jesus, our messiah, is in Philippians.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 2:5-8
To sum up the entire scene, what Jesus has done here is to act out his entire ministry in a symbolic
form.
He rose up from where he was seated represents leaving His throne in heaven
Setting aside his clothes is his incarnation. He was born naked into this world.
Taking a clean towel is the sinless human nature that he took upon himself.
Washing the men's feet is washing us with the blood.
Getting the towel dirty, is bearing our sins for us.
Putting his own clothes back on, is his resurrection in a glorified body, taking His divine nature back
once again.
His sitting down again speaks of sitting on his heavenly throne once again, at the right hand of the
father.
So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again,
he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? John 13:12
Lord, help us to realize and be thankful for what you have done for us sinners.

Judgment Upon The Nations

A Trance
by Nita Johnson
In April of this year the Spirit of the Lord began to lift me up and take me to the nations of the world. He held in His hand
a flag pole holder that was shaped like a bullet. As we would hover over the nation He would put the flag of that respective
nation in the holder. Then we would fly down into the heart of the nation with the flag in His hand and He would put it right
into the soil. As the pole would sink into the soil
He would pronounce judgment upon the nation and fear would grip my heart. The nations we visited were in this order.
First was America. After He pronounced the judgment, He said that she would be a sign to the nations of the world of
their own impending judgment.
Second was Japan, then United Kingdom, fourth was Germany and USSR. In USSR I saw Him put the flag right through
a seal in what seemed to be Hitler's heart. The fifth was the African Continent. The fact that the flag holder was in the
shape of a bullet was indicative of the fact that each of these nations are going to be engaged in war as part of their
assigned judgment.

And There Were Shepherds

Steve Shultz
And There Were Shepherds Abiding In The Field

November 24, 1998
The Lord is about to suddenly visit Pastors, the Shepherds of His People.
Luke 2:8 "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping
watch over their flock by night."
God loves Pastors. Those pastors who are truly called by Him are among those who will even lay
down their life down for His sheep. Whether a pastor is from the "greatest" seminary in the land or is
an obedient shepherd without "papers"- caring for elderly sheep who are shut in ----God is about to
visit the shepherds of His flock.
It is "night" in the field. And "The field is the world . . ." (Matt 13:38) The Good shepherd is looking with
compassion on His shepherds in the field who are guarding his sheep in the dark times coming upon
the world.
Yet, amidst their caring for the sheep, accusations abound toward these shepherds. "You are
guarding them too much. They are pressed in too tight. You are not letting them have enough
freedom." In these accusations, the Lord is not pleased.
The Lord looks not on the outward appearance of these shepherds, but on the heart. He sees the
heart to save and to protect His sheep and He will soon appear to many of His pastors, some even
with angelic visitations, to bring "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom
his favor rests." (Luke 2:14)
Pastors are some of the most unfairly maligned people in the Body of Christ. Many of them would
gladly give all they own, if they only had answers to some of the problems facing them and facing the
church. Many constantly cry out in the night, for revelation of the plans of God. "When will You send the
promised deliverer," they plead, knowing full well that it is the Savior, Jesus they are seeking. "Why do
You tarry?" they ask. "My sheep---YOUR sheep-- are wounded and broken and there is nothing I can
do to help them, it seems. When will you come to Your church in Power, Lord?"
The Lord's message to His shepherds is simple and yet profound, "Fear not: for, behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."
The Lord is so pleased with the heart of many of His shepherds to protect His sheep that He is
coming to them "in the night" to bring them the message to "fear not" as the Lord is about to reveal
Himself in a most unexpected way, compared to what they (and the sheep) or looking for.
"Where and how will we find you," the Lord's shepherds ask. "How will we know when it is you? How
will the deliverer help us in this hour? We've prayed so long for our sheep!"
And the "Angel of the Lord" says to these good shepherds, "Fear not:
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be [good news to you and] to all [your]
people.
"What is the good news, Lord?" the shepherds ask.
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David [Bethlehem] a Saviour, which is Christ
the Lord." (Luke 2:11)
"Lord, why Bethlehem? And why David's City?"
Because from the least comes the greatest. Because those who have been forgiven much will love
much. Because worship comes from those who are forgiven--in David's City. And because those who
would be greatest among you must be the least among you--the servants of all.
"'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of
Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" Matt
2:6
Jesus came from the City of David. My greatest work comes from David's City. And that among the
poor. From those who have no place to lay their head.
" But Lord, when we find Him our Savior Jesus, whose coming in power we so desperately need---
what will He look like? How will we recognize Him?"
"And this shall be a sign unto you; You shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes
[rags], lying in a manger [an animal feeding trough]." (Luke 2:12)
The Lord is saying that in this hour, He will be consistent with His ways. The work of God will manifest
itself in foolishness as it always has. The greatest work of God, in the Harvest, and in the church, will
be initiated among the poor, the outcast, those in rags, the disenfranchised, even the homeless. His
coming in Power is about to be "born" among the Poor. His healing and deliverance will come among
the outcast. He is coming in foolishness.
And because of His love for His shepherds, He is announcing this to the shepherds of His flock first.
He is saying, "You will find ME among the poor. When I want to receive great glory, I begin the work
among the least things, in the least places, in the least ways. And I announce it first to my shepherds
who are guarding the flocks by night"
There will be many shepherds who will hear, discover, and believe where the Lord's work is in this
hour and they will speak to one another about it. . .
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one
another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has
told us about."
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the
manger.
17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them
about this child,
18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:15-18
And the church will soon be amazed at "what it's own shepherds say to them." As this new work
among the poor and outcast of the earth is announced to the shepherds, (many with angelic
visitations) they will go and see and then they will go and tell others who will also go and "do." And
unlike what many are saying, even prophesying, it will be the shepherds (The TRUE shepherds) who
will lead the way in this work among the poor.
The Lord is cautioning and exhorting the members of His Body not to seek ways to become
unattached to a pastor/shepherd, but rather, look for God's pleasure toward them and His
announcements and appearing in His Glory among them. It will be His shepherds who will lead you
into the work and harvest among the poor. Because they will discover that this is where the Lord is.
'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did
for me.' Matt 25:40

Word for Australia

Cheryl McGrath
Great Southland Ministries
"I, the Lord watched the tall ships come across to these shores and I saw the immigrant ships arrive. Know that this has
been my plan and purpose from the beginning. For I have called many to these shores and established my purpose and
my plan for this nation.
Yes, I have called daughters from afar and sons from the ends of the earth, and just as many have come, so shall many
be sent forth by Me. For this nation that was born through misery and oppression and through many fiery trials shall in
these end times rise up as a light, yes a source of great light both across the Pacific and to the nations of the world. I
shall send forth many lights from this nation. for it is both My purpose and My will to bring forth hope where
hopelessness was meant and life where death was meant.
I shall indeed turn this nation away from the heritage intended by man and establish her as a lighthouse to the nations.
Know that for this purpose did I establish her. For man established this nation in shame and despair, but My purpose for
this nation is for life to come forth and spread to the nations of the world, and I will have My way. I, the Lord have called
this nation as a great blessing to the other nations of the world in the end times. And no longer shall she be known
among the nations as a land that is down under, for is this not My great south land of the Holy Spirit?
And many shall see and be amazed that from this nation born in shame shall come forth many messengers of hope and
salvation. These are my light bearers, and I indeed shall send them forth. As the world sent them here to forget them, so
shall I send them back to the world in victory carrying my light. For I have never forgotten them, says the Lord.
So rejoice Australia, rejoice in your destiny as light bearers to the world and glorify My Name."

Avalanche 98
by Nola Smith
Avalanche '98 was a landmark event for our lives, and for me personally. It was at Wes Campbell's church - Nolan Clarke
was the main speaker along with Todd Atkinson from UK. The theme was "Sold Out" but it meant much more than the
words said. Dying for Christ (starting with death to self-rule and comforts, ending with the call to literally die a martyr's
death for Christ) was the main message. The fear of the Lord was a constant topic and I believe the hearts of youth were
already prepared for this and aligned for the spiritual heat.
These kids were wild for Jesus from day one. Different from last year's Avalanche when they had to be "wooed" to the
Father. The whole atmosphere was different. The other thing that stood out to me was the modesty of the girls - a very
small number of girls wore immodest clothing, whereas last year it was very common. A young woman of quite immodest
dress from our own church attended and was obviously out of place and uncomfortable the entire time (she had not
brought anything modest to wear!) It confirmed what the Lord spoke to me earlier this year, that HE was emphasizing
chastity and modesty this year and that purity would become the personal choice of this generation - they are, of their
own free will, choosing to be a SET APART generation.
At the end of the last session where Todd preached THE most moving sermon I have ever heard about laying your life
down for Jesus Christ, siting martyrs of the past and reviewing the first two self-deaths I mentioned above, they held a
"communion of living sacrifice to Christ". Communion was large round bread loaves and large cups of juice. It was a
communion of forgiveness, unity, and willingness to die all three deaths. He urged that NO one to take communion
without counting the cost and to abstain if you weren't "there" yet - this was a communion of acknowledgement of the
ACTUAL blood and flesh of Christ. He said, "This is NOT religion or performance. There is NOTHING you can do to earn
His love or to earn your reward because Christ did it all. It's simply this: When Jesus died for you, He showed how
valuable YOU are to Him. When you die for Him, you show how valuable HE is to you. Nothing more, nothing less." He
asked all the adults there to consider whether they were willing to lay down their lives for Gen-X and the next Gen, and
that there WOULD be a cost - that many of us would pay a dear price. (He outlined some of the costs..) He asked us to
abstain if we could not be servant-leaders to these youth and to the generations that God is calling to be completely sold
out to Him. Then asked us to serve the youth in our particular family or group, on our knees, saying, "I commit my life to
you. I will put my life on the line for you. I will take the flack for you. I will be there for you. I will serve you and the
purposes of God for your life. I will stand at your back and guard and protect you with my life." Needless to say, it turned
out to be a weeping, wailing session of tears and power. (You had to be there to feel the true impact. We served the cup
and bread to other youth that came, but I especially enjoyed seeing my husband serve our own children in this way, and
when he came to me, I went to pieces.)
After communion (which lasted over an hour) they had everyone make a wide circle around the huge sanctuary (it's a flat
floor with a large balcony - I think it was a mini-mall before it was a church). A large (14 ft, probably) wooden cross was
brought in and placed in the center. While Tray (youth pastor of San Diego VCF) was telling a little story about the cross
on the hill above San Diego (which wasn't really overly moving, just interesting) when suddenly one teen interrupted with a
loud cry, bursting from the outer circle and running headlong to the cross, falling on her face and weeping. Then two or
three more did. Then another ran so fast his coat flew off him and he lost a shoe. After that, the remaining hundreds
raced to the cross, some falling, some kneeling, some standing. Weeping and crying out to God in loud wails, we heard
words like "I will die for You, Jesus, I will die for You! Let me die for You!"
I was deeply moved, I was wowed, I was jazzed, I am changed forever. I came home to pull out Foxe's Book of Martyr's
again so that I can weep at the heroes of the past that stand as "a cloud of witnessess" watching us today. Some of us
WILL join them, but not all of us will be willing, and not all of us will endeavor to carry our crosses to that degree. Lord,
give us passion for You that goes beyond our meager, pointless, fruitless efforts at worldly or religious aspirations. Let
our aspirations bring praise to the Father and let us be SET APART for YOUR PURPOSES!! Yeah, Go Jesus!
Several months ago, when our son Walker found out he'd be attending a brand new school this coming fall that hasn't
had a chance to 'set an atmosphere' yet like established schools, he said, "Cool. We get to go in and start it up with
Jesus. We get to help it get a good start." I knew what he meant, and it just made my heart leap for joy. This next
generation of Christians just blows me away - they are after the real stuff and they aren't gonna care anymore. They're
gonna make the rest of us look like wimpy, whiney religious pew-hogs. Lord have mercy on me, the whiniest of them all.
I'd be interested in hearing others' impressions of this year's Avalanche - any takers?
In His Love and Grace,

A Vision of the Church

by Nita Johnson
[Taken from Prepare For The Winds of Change II]
On January 25, 1990, I was given a rather extensive vision in full color. I'll be sharing parts of it throughout this book as it
concerns many areas of interest to the church. Throughout this vision, I spoke with an angel. Although I didn't see him in
this particular vision, he communicated to me in an audible voice. The part I'm going to share now was one of the last
parts of the vision. It so beautifully depicts what I'm trying to communicate that I'd like to share it here.
I saw a great, thick cloud, hovering over the earth. So thick and massive was it and so black, that it made the
earth look totally dark. The angel told me to call for the church. So I did. "Church, come. Arise and fight the
great darkness." As I said this, I saw a most incredible light slowly fly in the direction of this great, dark cloud.
As this cloud of light approached the great darkness, it formed a sort of wall in front of it. I saw it begin to
push this cloud of darkness back with much intensity of purpose - it was relentless. Although the dark cloud
fought with all its might to hold its ground, it was no match for the standard of light that opposed it. The light
pushed and pushed and was making such great headway. I thought it would fight until the dense darkness
was totally defeated and gone. However, suddenly the voice from heaven spoke to the light and said, "It is
enough now. Go, claim the harvest."
Immediately, this hand of light, as it were, stood in front of the cloud of darkness, holding it in place as though
someone were holding the lid open to a breadbox. Simultaneously, the cloud of light slipped down, as
though through an invisible tunnel under the belly of this mass of darkness, and began to fill the whole earth
with light. I saw what seemed to be multiplied millions of souls accept Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. What
an awesome awakening. There was virtually nothing the black cloud could do about it.
When the entire world was saturated with light, I saw two majestic thrones descend from heaven. One was
the throne of the Son of God. The other was the throne made ready for his bride. The angel then told me to
call the church home. So I cried "Church, the King awaits you. Arise now and go home. " Just then, I saw the
now greatly increased cloud of light, heavy with the souls of the harvest, begin to move from the earth
towards heaven. As it did, it became brilliant. It turned to fill the second of the two thrones, that it might take
its rightful place by the King. I watched until this cloud of light took on the shape of a beautiful bride,
awesomely adorned in her wedding gown. Its train was long and flowing. She turned and was seated by her
husband. The vision then came to an end.
This incredible vision is a perfect depiction of the spiritual warfare we are about to embark upon as the army of the Great
King. We have been given much understanding in recent years about spiritual warfare. Yet, we have only touched the
surface, the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. But along with knowledge for such an understanding, there must also be
greater anointing. One without the other could have rather serious consequences. However, the body has not been in a
place where the Lord could afford to release the kind of anointing it will take to do what must be done.
Now, thanks be to God, He is preparing us for bigger horizons. There is coming a new strategy for warfare. I saw the
church rise up as a standard and push the black cloud back. This will come to pass through the new strategy and unity
with the resulting anointing working mighty wonders. We will see the effects of this in unity of the following ways.
Long-standing promises will finally be broken loose. Strongholds that seemed invincible will be demolished. Wisdom will
be given and children will be freed. Husbands and wives will be liberated. Businesses will explode into higher levels of
prosperity just in time for this dynamic global evangelistic thrust.
Bondages in governments will be temporarily broken. Deceptions in media will be blatantly revealed. All that opposes
truth will seemingly be a toothless lion for a season.

A Victory Coming
Elery Mayo
Word given 7/12/98
Jesus wants the body to be victorious and He has given us the Holy Spirit so that we can learn how to draw to Jesus
Christ and not to ourselves. Many people focus on themselves, in their hurts, and their anguish, but God says," I want
you to listen to what I am saying to you by my Spirit.
The Church is going to have a victory that is coming soon. God says it's going to happen within the building. It's going to
happen because I have made a purpose. I have planned, and now time, your time is not going to stop what I'm bringing
forth in the church. The Church will have the victory and you can be part of it if you will let me draw you to myself and not
to the problem and not to the world and not to the enemy, but if you will cause yourself to listen to the Holy Spirit by
praying, by getting into the Word of God. You will be drawn to me. You'll be drawn to me. Then you will find the water and
then you will find the peace and then you'll find that you're elevated by eagle's wings.
The anointing of My Spirit will be upon you. I will elevate you above that problem, above that crisis, above the worldly
things that the enemy is trying to place upon you, the Church. You are coming out into a place of the Promised Land
that I'm taking you today. By My Spirit you will have the anointing. You will have the peace. You will have the presence.
It's coming My Children because you are My Body. You are My Church and I speak to you today. That you will hear my
voice. For surely you have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying today. Give in to Me, Saints. Give in to me, Saints."
"But that sounds strange, God," you say.
"Let my presence, let the smoke, let the cloud, let the person of the Holy Spirit, let the presence come down. Drink of it,
My Saints. Drink of it, My Saints. Drink of Me and you will change and you will be a trip triumphant! You have come out
of bondage. You have been in all kinds of crisis and battles, but I'm telling you, Saints, I'm telling you, I'm shaking. I'm
cleaning you up. I'm cleaning everybody up so they may come into My Presence, the Holy of Holies and the devil will be
on the run! Sickness will be on the run. Disease will be on the run. You shall be awakened in the cloud of My fire and in
the presence of My Spirit. You are My Children. You are the Blood Bought Church! You shall, you shall, you shall have
the victory!! Hallelujah!! I'm coming! I'm coming! You can't stop it. Just step aside. Get out of My way for I'm coming! I'm
coming with a fire! An anointing! For I'm coming! I'm coming! I'm coming! The Church will be triumphant!"

A Voice Will Be Heard

By Kathy Thill
" And He gave some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, for the equipping of the saints
to do the work of the ministry, to the building up of the body of Christ." EPH 4:11
I Was having time with the Lord, worshipping, talking - felt led to get a piece of paper and start writing. This is what I got:
"12-24-96
"I am about to move on the face of America as never before seen. Yea, thousands have fallen from My power, but I say to
you - it has not yet begun to be shown. My hand is moving over America. My face turns away because of the stench.
Your unborn cry out to me from the graves of dumpsters. Millions upon millions of tiny cries arise before Me. Can I NOT
move?" thus says the Lord who has compassion on many.
"I will move in ways not foretold - you underestimate My POWER and great providence and protection I offer you.
"Sit still and SEE the salvation of your God! Move and be in My POWER. Walk and I will walk beside you; RUN and I will
go ahead of you. STAND and see My salvation. I move on behalf of those whose hearts are towards Me, both in the
church and out of the Church. Many will come to Me, My fountain will flow through them - you will STAND and be
amazed at whom I choose to work through!! Ah, even now I am preparing hearts, revealing the thoughts of many, that
every heart will be exposed before Me. You will be surprised at the results!!
"Many will fall, but yea, I say to you that this is but the beginning. The New Breed I have foretold will take their place in
the line up of things. ‘Youngsters’ still in their teens will be used in magnificent ways, demonstrating My POWER. Your
faithfulness as parents have made way for this generation to walk out in tremendous outpouring, unctioning, anointing -
anointed by the Most High, for the Most High, thru the power and movement of the Most High. They will SPEAK for the
unborn - peers of My making they have yet to meet. Peers not allowed breathe, many too tiny to even call out. Many
dead in the womb. I HAVE HEARD. I WILL MOVE.
"Many will fall under the power but I say to you - the VOICE of the unborn will be HEARD, and their peers will speak for
them - peers allowed breathe and growth, life and nuturance. A VOICE WILL BE HEARD, both and out of the CHURCH,
on behalf of the unborn child.
"Watch and see if I will not do as I have SPOKEN. I speak - the winds and waves obey ME. Will they not also, bring the
FIRE! Teenagers, armed and ready for battle, ready to stand guard, ready to speak, equipped to listen. A double
anointing rests upon them - they will move out and do many exploits in the power of the Most High under the Elijah
anointing. Many Elisha’s will come into place because of those faithful children of Mine, both in and out of the church.
Out of their pain, toil and suffering I will mix a cauldron of turmoil for those who kill the innocents. SEE that I will DO IT.
"They will speak in the power and unctioning of My HOLY Spirit, anointed as Elijah of old. SEE that I will do it! I will move
as I have SAID. I will break the bonds of wickedness, and with those who have known much freedom but choose to align
themselves with ME. I will reward them 12x their labor - their offspring will be mightily blessed by the Lord and great will
be their peace. I have chosen it from long ago and will remain to SEE it DONE."
"12-29-96 - the Lord told me to take the previous prophesy I’d written (12-24-96) and throw it away in the trash!!
"Uh….throw it in the trash?!?" I questioned. I knew I was to obey, so I wrinkled it up and threw it away… thinking,
wondering….. but obeying. Some time passed; I was told then to retrieve it, unwrinkle it and to begin writing…
"This is what I will do," declares the Lord. "I will take that which you have cast off, the throwaways, 'things' destined for
destruction, and I will avenge.
"With a Mighty army of castaways will I march upon the land to destroy the high towers - the places of incense, adultery,
fornication - right under My very nose!
"I will arise and bring forth an army, purest white, with banners held high marked:
‘virgin’ - ‘holy as unto the Lord’ ‘holiness’ ‘dressed in pure white’ ‘My beloved!’
"They will march out into the trenches in the darkest night and not become filthy, as those before them. They will see it
all, yet remain purest white before ME, for before ME they STAND!"
(end)
To be quite honest, this kind of "abortion", "unborn kind" of thread was not what I was expecting when I felt led to get
some paper and begin writing, but it just "came". Somehow, even though I did not expect this kind of content, I do bear
witness to it all, in my spirit. I do believe it is what God is going to do in these last days, what HE IS doing, and the
business HE is about... ministering to the broken ones, and taking and using the "foolish things" to confound the "wise".
How I praise Him that He does take broken things, pours Himself into them, marks them out as "Mine" (His) and
chooses to pour His Glory, His Presence, and His Power out, through "such as these".
Blessed be Your Holy Name, Lord Jesus! ----

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

A Wall of Fire
Bill Hawkins
Last night at our church during our regular Saturday evening prayer meeting the lord gave me a vision of fire coming on
the land as I was standing on a large field looking either way did not give me any perspective of distance at all.
I saw in the distance coming towards me a vertical wall of fire several feet tall (15--20 ft) the field was full of some kind
grain some thing with heads and seeds on it the fire swept along and soon passed right through me and as I turned
around right behind me a church-an older country type church --you know the type with a steep roof and high windows
and a spire with a cross on top. .white etc..
The fire passed right through it and went beyond and out of sight. Shortly thereafter fire began to come out of all the
windows and soon the roof also. .people began to run out of the front door and as soon as they had gone a few steps
they begin to change and their clothes changed and turned to a dark color very plain and with a clerical collar on.. They
ran to get water and throw it on the fire.. As soon as they threw it the fire burned brighter..
In the front door came a lot of people going into the fire---as I watched they were coming from the field...the heads of grain
that were left after the fire went through had turned into people and they were now running towards the church and into it
..
This morning at church in a very strong move of the lord he gave me some understanding of the people. .at least the ones
running out..
He said we had been praying for fire and that it was coming as I had seen it. What he was doing now was to call those
who would listen to come closer to him and to get their lives right before him---not a public confession but to him..
After the fire he said that because the fire is light it will expose all the hidden things that man has been unwilling to let go
of and those will run and try to put it out because it has exposed their true nature...
The fire in the field was the beginning of the separation of the wheat and the tares. .also I have seen now the water as
persecution of the church, and as the word says and shows that is when she is at her finest when she is being
persecuted and tried by fire....oh folks look about you and see that the lord is coming and looking for a bride w/o spot nor
wrinkle.
He is refining us to be used in the finest hours that lay just ahead

Another Wave Is Coming.

Jim Wies
I recently read an article by prophet Bobby Conner in which he related a vision he saw of a mighty river at extreme flood
stage, overflowing it's banks. He felt it was a picture of the current outpouring of the Spirit happening in many places
around the world. The excitement he felt about the water overflowing it's banks and reaching normally dry areas was a
thrill to him until God spoke and told him "You have not seen anything yet", and then gave him a picture of a massive
wall of water crashing down the river channel, pressing the flood far beyond where the waters had ever been before. He
then saw various people reacting different ways to the new wave. Some were afraid and fleeing, while others were jumping
on surf boards, inner tubes, etc. and having a time of their lives enjoying the water.
He went on to say... "This new demonstration of God's power will be so radical that it will confront the "I've been there &
done that" spirit which permeates much of the church today. Soon we will realize we haven't seen anything yet. For
those who have their hearts wide open to a fresh move of the Spirit of God, the best is yet to come."
Prophet John Sandford stated in his current newsletter; "A second great wave is coming, about to break in upon us. The
first descended upon Argentina, with repentance's, deliverance's and conversions; upon Toronto, inundating people with
the love of the Lord; on Pensacola, with repentance's and conversions - and in many other places in varying degrees of
intensity. Now, another wave is rising, huge and powerful, soon to crash upon the shores of the Church."
John went on to point out some very important things that wise people are doing to be ready. Many are fasting and
praying, entreating God to move in power and demonstration of His glory. Many are realizing that wholeness, purity and
integrity are critical if we are to maintain balance in the midst of "high voltage" surges of God's power amongst us. Many
are recognizing the importance of being rightly connected to the Body of Christ. Networks and alliances are emerging as
many are realizing that both safety and strength are multiplied through unity, cooperation and accountability.
One of the clear evidences that breakthroughs are imminent is the intensity of the testing and sifting much of the Church
has been experiencing through the second half of 1997. The apostle Peter knew something of this when he wrote: "In this
you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness
of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise,
honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love." 1 Pet 1:6-8
It was Peter himself who was severely sifted and tested just 50 days before the spectacular Pentecost Sunday sermon
where he brought 3,000 people to belief in Jesus. His test was described in Luke 22:31-32 "And the Lord said, "Simon,
Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. "But I have prayed for you, that your faith should
not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren."
It seems the Lord has given permission for the church to endure sifting and testing in the same way in preparation for the
great breakthroughs that are on the horizon.
Another Wave Is Coming - Part 2
One of the clear evidences that breakthroughs are imminent is the intensity of the testing and sifting much of the Church
has been experiencing through the second half of 1997.
Peter the apostle experienced a very difficult sifting as described in Luke 22:31-32 "And the Lord said, "Simon, Simon!
Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. "But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail;
and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren." Just 50 days later, this same Peter was going to be
preaching to masses and seeing thousands converted to faith in Christ Jesus. It seems the church has been enduring a
similar sifting and testing in preparation for the great breakthroughs that are on the horizon.
An interesting side note about Peter’s experience was that Jesus’ prayer was not to rescue him from the test, but that
after he failed the test, he would still respond to God in faith. It seems that God’s tests are not like ours... The "test" for
Peter was not the test. The real test was how he would respond to having failed the "test".
Peter came from that experience a bit more humble, broken and dependent on the Lord. But then, those are the things
God is much more interested in. He already knows we’re but dust without His help.. He really just wants us to realize it
as well. Peter was now ready for great exploits, humbly acknowledging his dependence on the Spirit of God.
So it is today. God is about the process of preparing us for more. We’ve seen Him purging his church of immorality, pride
and personal ambition. He wants a bride without spot or wrinkle. As John Sandford said, in his recent newsletter, "God is
going to bring forth a new bread of eunuchs." A eunuch’s job was to attend to the bride of the king. The unique distinction
a eunuch has is that he prepares the bride for her king, with no interest in attracting her to himself. He has no ulterior
motives. God is bringing us to a place where we simply desire to present the "Bride" - the church, to her "King" - Jesus.
As we have experienced waves of refreshing; waves of renewed passion for Jesus; waves of zeal for His presence; and
waves of the purging fires of repentance, God has been preparing us for His purposes. The incredible thing is, God keeps
saying over and over again to His prophets; "You haven’t seen anything yet"

"Can I Get A Witness?"

Will We Accuse or Intercede?
by Pastor Jim Wies
God is looking for a witness. And so is Satan, the accuser of the brethren. Scripture reveals to us there is a continuous
dialog going on in heaven. Jesus, after he rose from the dead, and now sits at the right hand of the Father, is making
continuous intercession for us. "Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who
condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes
intercession for us." Rom 8:33-34 "Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through
Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Heb 7:25
Satan, on the other hand, is accusing us before God day and night. (ref. Rev. 12:10) So we see Jesus interceding and
declaring blessing for us, while Satan is accusing and declaring cursing upon us. The question then, is who will prevail?
Scripture tells us that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact shall be established.(ref. Deut. 19:15; Matt.
18:16; 2Cor. 13:1; etc.) So the answer is that it depends on us. The answer depends on which we will agree with, which
voice in heaven will get a witness on earth?
One of the great debates within the ranks of Christianity is the reconciliation of two seemingly "at odds" principles of the
sovereignty of God and human responsibility. Why doesn’t an all powerful God just move on behalf of the problems of
mankind. If Jesus is interceding for us, then why do we need to pray? Why do we need to do anything? On the other
hand are we not responsible for the problems we have gotten ourselves into? The fact is, it is in prayer that we see the
intersection of these two principles. In prayer, an almighty God depends on our human initiative to "loose" his will to be
done. It is in prayer that we cooperate with His will to release His power. Effective prayer is accomplished through
discerning and agreeing with God’s will.
To further understand this we need to understand that God, while He is in fact, all powerful, is also perfectly just. He gave
dominion of the earth to man and will not renege on His word. It took a man (Adam) to betray the dominion of the earth
into the hands of the evil one, and it took a "man" Jesus to wrest it back from the domain of darkness. He has now given
us the keys to that dominion through the power of His name and the authority to bind and loose. "And I will give you the
keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth
will be loosed in heaven." Matt 16:19 (also Matt.18:18)
It is important to note in the above verse that the action on earth proceeds the action in heaven. The will of God is being
heralded at the throne of God... and the question is.. "Will He get a witness on earth who agrees with Jesus’
intercession?" Will we agree with God and loose His will, or will we give witness to the accuser? It is certainly important
then, that we pray. Can God get a witness?

A Word Of Desolation Decreed

Nita Johnson
The Lord spoke to me in a dream about Isaiah 13. 1 would like to share it with you.
The first thing He said was: "My people must open their eyes, for the day of the Lord is close at hand."
Whither we like it or not, whither we want to believe it or not, we are at the end of the age, and as He
said: The "Day of the Lord" is quickly approaching. Isaiah speaks of it in the thirteenth chapter.
In verse one he begins his reflection on Babylon and its ultimate end. Perhaps Isaiah at first considers
a destruction in a more imminent future to his own time, but by the time he finishes the details of what
he has seen, all readers realize he is talking about a much wider scope of time and events.
Babylon is a symbolic name as well as the name of an actual place. While the events that Isaiah
foresaw many times regarding the literal place of Babylon have already taken place, the full and
complete scope of events regarding mystery Babylon have not.
Isaiah reflects on some rather ominous images regarding the "day of the Lord" as it pertains to
Babylon which in reality is -the same Babylon of Revelation ch. 18 and Jeremiah ch. 51. Isaiah cries
out it seems, almost in anguish as he replays what he sees. "The Lord of host musters his host for
battle." v4. Is. 13:6 "Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from
the Almighty. v7 "Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt. And they
shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them. They shall be in pain as a woman that
travaileth. They shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. Behold, the day of
the Lord cometh, cruet both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall
destroy the sinners out of it."
He further speaks of the sun, moon and stars withdrawing their light. And the Lord tells him; "I will
punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the
proud to cease". v12 I will make man more precious than fine gold. vl3 "I will shake the heavens,
and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of Host in the day of his fierce
anger. vl8 "Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the
fruit of their womb; their eye shall not spare children." He essentially concludes his warning with the
fact that it will be as when God over threw Sodom and Gomorrah. What a disconcerting thought! As I
mentioned earlier, John saw this same thing on the Isle of Patmos and recorded it in the book of
Revelation.
We are about to see severe economic depression and collapse in one nation after another. The Lord
revealed to me in a vision a couple of years ago I believe, that every nation is going to be set back in
time about 30 to 40 years. This will effect economics, and materialism right at the core of every nation
and all peoples. Further, we are going to as I mentioned in the first newsletter of this year, see a sharp
increase of terrorism. I felt it would start by the end of the year. Whether that turns out to be the case or
not, the word of the Lord is that serious terrorist attacks are going to begin to assail this country. I now
feel that we have, as one man said, opened Pandora's Box, with our recent strikes in the Middle East.
This could be the very trigger for the attacks we will start experiencing. Further, the nations of the world
are going to enter a new and greatly increased measure of calamities, as an increased wake-up call
to repentance. Finally, war is coming as the nations of the world are soon to be gripped with the labor
pains of the last days.
Who or what is this mystery Babylon? Some say America, and that is true in one sense! Moreover, it
is all nations and peoples of the world that refuse allegiance to the Lord. It is virtually a universal
destruction of the sinner and the nations they inhabit. The only hope any man has in an hour such as
we are about to enter, is to find his refuge in Jesus Christ. We must not only call Him Lord; He must be
our Lord if we are to be kept safe from the most horrific storms, which are just ahead.
In respect to the Church, the prophet Daniel said: if we are pure, we would shine like the stars. On the
other hand, if we continue to be lovers of the world, and the ways of the world, then we are constituted
sinners and will there fore be destroyed with the world we love. Consequently, my dear friends, now is
the time to make your lives as pure and holy before the Lord as you can, that in the coming hour, you
may be found in the pavilion of His protection. When men are experiencing the greatest anguish ever
known to man, you and yours will be safe, for you will belong wholly to Christ. That isn't to say that you
will not pass through some rough times, as I just mentioned, you will! Many of you are, even now.
Again, the times are going to get systematically more difficult, as we enter into times that are more
severe than anyone has ever known. However, as I have shared many times there is no need for fear,
for, even in that God will be your stay and support, if you are set apart from worldly lust unto Him alone.
As we watch the time clock of eternity continuing to click off the minutes, we are now looking at
approximately 2 minutes to midnight. Midnight is the hour judgment will fall in a most severe way. So,
be ready! Be holy, so you can be protected!
Before leaving the thoughts we are discussing in this article, I want to offer one encouragement. God's
heart can be changed, and times can be altered. The Lord said to me, "even now as we are sitting at
the door of this horrific wave of judgment, He is looking for a people who will cleanse themselves
through repentance and separation from the world and will come before Him like Esther and plead on
behalf of the nations of the world that He might feel justified in holding back judgement." In referring to
the statement I just quoted, His preceding words were: "If My church would." I don't know how great a
response He would expect in order to justify a favorable response. I shall seek Him on this. But, until
He reveals His heart further, we must take action at least on behalf of our own souls, repent and turn
away from the world with a real abrupt ness and not regret the cost. At least in this way, we and our
families will be protected.

I Was Born A Wolf

by Bob Neuman
I was born a wolf long ago, in a deep hole. A place of darkness with only the sounds and smells of my littermates that
remain in the recesses of my memory. Survival was based on the instincts of my species. to huddle together for warmth
in the cold. to be stronger and faster than my mates when allowed to nurse. to fight and win the pieces of meat when the
milk stopped. To survive was the call of my kind in the very core of my being.
Then one day, deep in the pit my world changed as a new sound came far from above me. And suddenly I was pulled up
and out of the pit and into the light. I was held helpless by a strength incomprehensible. And I knew fear for no matter
how I struggled I could not escape and I could not run away.... my strongest survival instinct. And I cried out in the pitiful
voice of the pup that I was, but the pack did not come to help me.
I was alone in the light. I was helpless. Surely I was lost and about to be devoured. And then I heard this VOICE. A
sound unlike any I had heard before repeating over and over. Then I did not know the POWER OF HIS WORDS or their
meaning. That came with time. But HE kept saying "IT"S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT".
With HIS HAND securely holding me, HIS VOICE reassuring me, I began to feel the warmth of HIS CHEST as HE carried
me. As HE walked I could feel the steady cadence of HIS STEPS and I was aware of the RHYTHM and BEAT of HIS
HEART. Slowly I realized I was safe and fell asleep.
Later when I awoke in HIS ARMS I was aware of only four things.... HIS ARM that held me, HIS HAND that fed me, HIS
VOICE that comforted me, and HIS HEART that reassured me. Instinct said that my allegiance was to the pack. That the
pack leader would protect and feed me. So I bonded to HE whose HAND fed me and VOICE instructed me. And in time
HE took me out to HIS PACK....
A very strange pack it was. They did not look, sound, act, or smell like any thing I knew. Yet if HE was the leader it was
now my pack to which I belonged. In time I learned that what I called a pack HE called HIS FLOCK. And the SHEEP of
HIS FLOCK in time learned to tolerate my presence and ignored me. Yet the instincts of the pack were changed to serve
the SHEPHERD'S will. Hunting instinct became herding skills. My response to the pack leader was changed to following
the commands of the SHEPHERD. Whether it was a whistle or a signal of HIS HAND I knew HIS COMMAND and I
obeyed.
Moving the flock from pasture to pasture there was always strays to gather in. it took little time for even a pup to learn
that sheep are quite stupid and goats are quite obstinate. But it took a long time for me to realize that while the sheep
recognized HIS VOICE they did not understand HIS WORDS. So I understood my role and HIS only rule..."DO NOT
REND MY SHEEP, HARM NOT THE GOATS". This took time to learn and to suppress my instincts for my loyalty had
changed to what you call LOVE.
For I was not a sheep. At night when the flock was safely in their fold I stayed not with them. MY MASTER who stayed
at the gate of the fold kept me with HIM. It was at HIS FEET I slept. And from HIS HAND I was fed.
Then one day I became alert when an old smell was faint on the wind. The sheep did not notice but I had. And my first
instinct was to protect the flock. So I took my stance between the memory and MY MASTER'S SHEEP.
I doubt if he even knew I was there for all he could smell was sheep. His frame was thin and his coat was mangy. Scars
of old battles were easily seen. The thought of an easy kill and a full belly must have been on his mind for he never
noticed me till it was too late. It was quick and loud. and the sheep were disturbed. I was not surprised when I looked up
and saw the MASTER striding toward me. I sat by the carcass and looked into HIS FACE. I thought HE would be happy
but I saw the quiet look of concern in HIS EYES. Had I done wrong? I had protected the flock? And with quiet gentleness
HE reached out and probed the wound on my shoulder. And once again I heard HIS WORDS..."IT'S GOING TO BE ALL
RIGHT"...
Then one day I again noticed a smell and realized this was different. Not one old wolf, weak and starving, but something
bigger and a lot different than any I had ever encountered. And I got nervous and challenged the smell and the sound I
could barely hear. Again I stood between the danger and the sheep. The sheep being sheep started bleating and milling
together as I barked and growled knowing that was what I had to do. And when the bear stood to his full height I attacked
low. It took only the first glancing blow to tell me I was out matched but it mattered little. The pack/flock comes first.
Then suddenly the bear stopped his attack and turned to flee as the SHEPHERD'S VOICE rang out in a battle cry that
shook the heavens as together MY LEADER and I ran down the predator and made our kill. I fed well that night.
Another time the threat came and it was another pack. The danger to the flock was great. Wolves/jackals/and wild dogs
work together for their kills. They came for sheep and found a sheepdog. Before they could encircle the flock I attacked
the pack leader. They expected an easy kill. Instead they found teeth and an attitude. It was a glorious battle while it
lasted. By attacking their leader I took the pack's attention away from HIS SHEEP. The next thing I remember is HIS
ARM picking me gently off the battle field and HIS VOICE saying "GOOD DOG, GOOD DOG, IT'S GOING TO BE ALL
RIGHT".
SO IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ATTACKS THE FLOCK... WOLF, BEAR, LION...OR EVEN DRAGON. I WILL
NOT RUN!!!!!
I WILL MAKE MY STAND BETWEEN THE DANGER AND HIS SHEEP. FOR I AM NEVER ALONE. MY SHEPHERD
WILL ALWAYS COME WHEN I CALL. AND WHATEVER THE OUTCOME, HE WILL TEND MY WOUNDS AND CARRY
ME HOME.... TO SIT AT HIS FEET AND STAY AT HIS SIDE.
I was born a wolf, but I found a MASTER who talks to me and feeds me. Who knows exactly where on my belly where to
scratch.... Who has a piece of old rug with my scent on it, which nicely fits at the foot of HIS THRONE.
What more could an old dog want in HEAVEN.

A Powerful Vision On Worship

Richard Berget
As I was leading worship at New Covenant Church in New Orleans, I experienced a catching-away by the Spirit of the
Lord. With eyes closed I saw the congregation standing in the rear of a massive sea of saints gathered around the throne
of God. Each of us had our petitions in our hands, filled with various needs and requests. Before us was a vast throng of
believers, each waving their petitions frantically before the Lord, shouting and clamoring for His attention. (It looked like
the frenzy you'd see on a stock market trading floor!)
I turned to the congregation and simply said: "It's a long way up to the throne...and there's a lot of people waiting. Let's
just worship Jesus! At that, we all dropped our petitions on the ground. Closed our eyes, lifted our hands, and began to
passionately worship the Lord together.
Even though my eyes were closed in the vision, I still watched everything in the Spirit. Jesus sat majestically upon His
radiant throne while petitions were waved, some hysterically, before His face....others were even rudely thrusting their
lists right into his very face! Shouting demands of : "God, YOU PROMISED!", etc, etc, etc, was heard.
Jesus sat, seemingly detached, graciously granting needs and petitions with a nod of His kingly head. (This may not fit
some folks theology....but I can only be faithful to SAY what I SAW.....HE ALMOST LOOKED BORED!!!) We just
continued to worship Him, completely undistracted by our "needs".
As I watched, Jesus seemed to lean forward a little on His throne and turned His ear towards the back. He then sat
upright and craned his neck to gaze over the multitudes of waving petitions. (Things really heated up as the crowd
clamored for Jesus' attention).
He stood to His feet and pointed towards our little group of worshippers. Turning to the angels waiting upon Him, He
commanded: "BRING THEM UP HERE!" Supernaturally, the vast throng of people divided in the midst as we were
ushered into the very presence of Jesus (without walking there!).
As this occurred, we all became aware of the actual glory of God increasing in our midst. (I'm taking about what we were
experiencing in the church sanctuary at that exact moment!) In the vision, we were aware that God's glory had
dramatically increased...but our eyes were still closed!
Jesus leaned over us as we worshipped Him and began to deeply inhale through His nostrils. He did this for a long time.
It seemed to refresh Him...satisfy the depths of His glorious Being!
We then opened our eyes and were shocked to discover Jesus gazing deeply into our eyes, smiling at us, saturating us
with His love and glory! All the "petitioners" stood in silence, observing, understanding, growing. "Need lists" dropped to
the ground.
Jesus inhaled deeply several more times and spoke to our little group of startled worshippers: "WHATEVER YOU
NEED....WHATEVER YOU WANT...GRANTED!" Instantly the angels responded and departed like lightening bolts to
carry out Jesus' commands. Even with all our needs and wants being granted....we just continued to stand before
Jesus.....and worship Him!
Let's worship Him! "For your Heavenly Father knows your needs ...even before you ask!" Choose the BETTER part....that
shall not be taken from you!
In the Master's service,

The Trees in Babylon

Matt Lewin
Humbleness and greetings in the Love of the Lord Jesus...
I feel once again the need to share what I feel the Lord has been saying to me about the USA and the things about to
happen to the body there. Very recently the Lord shared with me that fact that the trees which are dry and small shall be
nurtured and made strong, but the tall and green trees shall be cut down and burnt in the fire of judgement. The Lord has
planted and nurtured to maturity a mighty cedar from which birds of every wing and nation shall come and take refuge in
its branches and receive the blessing of the Lord. The Lord gave me [EZEKIEL 17:22-24] to confirm this, this word has
been confirmed by other brothers and sisters in the body in the USA.
The whore of Babylon is about to be cast down and judged by the righteous one, Almighty God. Babylon has prostituted
herself to the beast and to sin and no longer delights in the word of Truth on which her blessings where founded. The Lord
blessed her above all others, a nation founded upon the word of Truth. She delights in her sin, she is proud of her sin, she
exports her sin, ensnaring many with her seductive tunes and harmony. She has drunk from the cup of her own
destruction. The call of the saints cry out to the Lord for justice, her cup overflows with the blood of many saints, the Lord
shall pass a righteous judgement upon her, listen and repent. The judgement shall be terrible, none shall be able to
behold it, all who see shall be blinded, the fire of God's wrath shall consume all before it. Let those with understanding
hear the word of the Lord.
Those who are green and tall, listen before the axe of the Lord comes into the wood and cuts you down. The axe shall
come when you least expect it, be it day, be it night, none shall know except Almighty God. Humble yourself and seek
the Lord, not revival, carve fear of the Lord upon the tabernacle of your heart. Fear the Lord above all others and he shall
have mercy upon all his beloved and show tender loving-kindness to those who truly seek him. Those with nets and rods
full of pride, woe unto you, your nets shall have holes and your rods shall snap, all shall be useless, the fish that where
once so plentiful shall escape. The former ways of doing things shall pass away, the old nets and rods shall be cast into
the fire [ISAIAH 19:8]. Take heed to these words.
All Glory to the Lord now and forever more...
Matt Lewin.

The King Of Babylon

Bryan Hupperts
February 18, 1998
I have been praying over the situation with Iraq (ancient Babylon). While I do not have a "thus says the Lord," I do have a
sense that we do not understand what we're getting in to. We've been blinded by pride to seeing that God has an agenda
to fulfill. His secret purposes will be manifested to the world.
That Saddam is even alive is a sign of the protection of God. He is alive and breathing for a divine purpose. If you read the
history of ancient Babylon, God used them to take His people prisoner. They were a vehicle of judgment on His OWN
people.
I have a chilling intuition that it might happen again.
Saddam, it is believed, has built biological and chemical weapons that could kill millions. There is not doubt in my
thinking that he is a homicidal madman. King Nebuchadnezzar also went mad - and was restored finally to sanity, his
throne, and brought to saving faith in God.
I cannot help but wonder if the Holy Spirit is drawing Saddam to Christ. If this happens, how many million Muslims might
follow him?
My sense is that if this conflict escalates, we'll have ourselves another World War. We Americans are convinced that
we'll just fly over, drop our bombs, and be done with it. I don't believe it will be like Desert Storm. We're in for a ghastly
and deadly surprise. I am not sure there will be any real "winners" in any of this.
Babylon is going to bite back and bite hard.
Her fangs are bared. They drip with venom and, like a serpent hunting her prey, she is coiled and ready to strike.
As Daniel was thrown into the Babylonian Lion's Den, so also will we. Daniel escaped without so much as a scratch
because he was innocent of any crimes. I wonder how America will fare during our night in the Lion's Den? Will we
survive?
In Revelation, it teaches that there are spirits that tempt the kings of the earth to war. Those spirits have been loosed
again. Remember that God raised up both ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt to display His might and power in the
earth. They served as His vehicles of expression and judgment.
Is He doing this again with modern Babylon (Iraq)?
I do not know if Sadam has the delivery capability to touch the soil of the USA unless he has managed to smuggle his
weapons of mass destruction here. He has a covenant of death with terrorists - anything is possible. If he unleashes his
wrath, our medicines and reliance of technology will be futile. There is no cure for the poisons he has concocted.
We'll have to trust and believe God for healings.
Abraham Lincon, during the Civil War, was asked to pray that God would be on "our" side (i.e. The Union). Lincon wisely
replied, "we had better pray that we are on His side."
Who will weep for the modern King of Babylon?
Praying in America,

Bait on the Hook

by Bill Somers
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." (2
Corinthians 2:11)
The Ancient order of Assassins
An historic legend in the Middle East concerns the so called Ancient order of Assassins. This group was a cult
branching off of Islam. It was supposedly led by the Old Man of the Mountain, a mythic figure named Hassan.
Hassan's method of recruiting men to serve as assassins involved the use of Hashish, a drug based on opium. The
words 'assassin' 'hashish' and 'hassan' are perhaps somehow related in Arabic.
Anyway Hassan had a remote mountain fortress where he trained spies and assassins. These men had to be willing
to go on suicide missions and obey orders at all costs. Hassan had a way to get them to believe that if they sacrificed
their lives on a mission, they would automatically go to Allah's Paradise. There they would enjoy pleasures for all
eternity.
How did he do this? Sometime, early in their training, the men would be drugged with Hashish. Then while they were
unconscious, they would be taken to another, secret part of the fortress. There when they awoke they found
themselves in the midst of luxurious apartments and gardens. There they could indulge themselves on the finest foods
and wines. They were waited upon by harems of beautiful women who gave them every sort of sexual pleasure. All
the while the men were kept slightly drugged. They were told that this was Allah's Paradise and that all good
servants of Hassan would go there when they died.
Next they were drugged unconscious again and taken back to their former quarters. When they awoke to a normal
state they believed that they had been to paradise. After this, they would do anything Hassan asked them to do.
Some say that Hassan never existed and the whole thing is a myth. Whether it's true on not, it illustrates a pattern of
deception that the enemy of our soul commonly employs.
The pattern of deception.

The pattern of Deception has three standard features.
The Bait. An Experience. The person has or is given a genuine experience that is either supernatural or way out of
the ordinary.
The Hook. A Lie. The experience is followed by a false explanation of what happened.
Destructive Consequences: Physical and or spiritual death. The explanation tends to lead them away from belief in
God or the Bible
The Ancient order of Assassins
In the case of the assassins the bait was the very real experience of a pseudo paradise.
The hook was the lies that they would go there if they gave their lives in service to Hassan or to Islam.
The consequences were that these men became willing servants of satan leading to their death, both physical and
eternal.
The Truth: These men were deliberately deceived by Hassan.
Belief in Ghosts
The Experience: Apparitions, noises and other happenings that hundreds have experienced all around the world and
all through history are quite real.
The Lie: These phenomena are caused by spirits of the dead who for some reason are unable to find rest in the
afterlife.
The Result: The belief in Ghosts contradicts the Word of God. You end up believing a lie.
The Truth: Ghostly phenomena are caused and created by demon powers who deliberately intend to deceive.
Psychic Phenomena
The Bait: Psychic readers who can tell you things about yourself that they could not possibly know through natural
means.
The Hook: The belief that these people have inherent talents that give them this special power.
The Result: People seek to acquire or develop these so called talents for themselves, instead of looking to God for
guidance.
The Truth: The psychics get their information from evil spirits who have the ability to know all about you and tell it to
them. The psychics themselves have no control over how this happens. They as well as their clients are being
deliberately deceived.
Reincarnation
The Experience: People who have dreams of past lives or who are able to remember details of past lives under
hypnotism. These details often contain information that the person could not have know by natural means.
The Hook: The Lie is that people have past lives, and that their souls are reborn into other people after they die.
The Consequence: Disbelief in heaven or hell and complete loss of the fear of God.
The Truth: The information and the dreams come from evil spirits who deliberately intend to deceive and lead us
away from belief in God.
Evolution
The Bait: Scientific Evidence from fossils and geology.
The Hook; The idea that the earth is very old and that life forms came about by gradually change from simpler to
more complex and advance species.
The Consequence: Denial of the Biblical account of God's creation. And hence a denial of God's authority over us
and over this world.
The Truth: God Created the Heavens and the Earth. He created man and set the laws that he must live by.
Near death experiences
The Bait: A person dies during surgery and finds themselves aware that their spirit is floating is space above their
body on the operating table. Then they find themselves going down a long tunnel and coming out into a bright place
where they are met by the spirits of their dead relatives and a host of angels. They are told that life after death is a
wonderful peaceful reality and to not be afraid. Then the surgeons revive them and they eventually wake up in their
own bodies again. Often they are able to relate things that went on while they were unconscious in surgery. Their
experiences are real, but the spirits they encounter are fake and the things they are told are lies.
The Hook: The lie that there is nothing to fear after death.
The consequence: Disbelief in biblical accounts of heaven and hell. Disregard for the consequences of sin and no
fear of the Lord.
The Truth: These experiences are deliberately engineered by demon powers intending to deceive. [These kinds of
near death experiences never happen to born again Christians. They usually have an experience with the Lord or a
vision of heaven in these cases.]
Out of Body experiences
These are similar to the above.
Drug related experiences
These are similar to the above.
UFO's
The Bait. People are constantly having sightings of UFO's. Some are abducted by alien creatures, others are in
contact with them through psychic means.
The Hook: That there is intelligent life on other worlds and they have spacecraft they use to visit this earth.
The Result: Once again disbelief or denial of God's creation.
The Truth: These sightings and other happenings are well within the power of Demon spirits to create with the
intention to deceive.
Conclusion:
In these end times we are about to go through, we will see many signs and wonders, Supernatural happenings are
about to become commonplace. These in many cases will be bait, watch for the hook. Beware of any offered
explanation that ignores or denies that God is in control.

Report from Baltimore

This report is by Glenna from Ft. Wayne, Indiana
visiting the Rock Church of Baltimore, January 18, 19 & 20 1998.
Forwarded by Russel White
It has been a special and unique blessing to have been a part of the meetings at Baltimore Rock Church this week. We
have been in revival meetings elsewhere but that did not prepare us for what takes place here. The people at Rock
Church have found the secret to drawing so close to God's heart that you can almost hear it beating. Pastor Bart Pierce
and the worship team are so sensitive to God's presence that they don't want to do anything to disturb God from coming
and enveloping His people in His loving arms. The worship takes you directly into the Holy of Holies through wooing,
intimate love songs and anointed instrumental improvisation. Pastor Bart Pierce and the people at Rock Church
emphasize that they are seeking God's face, not his hand. They have chosen the best part because they are seeking
God's presence and glory not the anointing and gifts. They are seeking Him, not what he can do from them. Marc
Dupont, a prophetic voice visiting from Toronto stated that God told him "He was Home", and that he, Marc, had
searched for this (what was happening in Baltimore) for the entire length of his ministry! Marc brought clarity to what God
is doing in the earth at this time saying, "in the 90's God is looking for a prophetic people"- not that they would
necessarily prophecy but that they would understand and recognize the times. He also said God has been coming in
increasing power in the earth- early 90's fairly gently, mid 90's more powerfully, and in 97/98 he was increasing the power
again. Marc also said God is looking for people who will carry His Glory. All these were given in the Sunday AM & PM
services. Things really escalated in the Monday evening Revival service with evangelist Tommy Tenney. After reviewing a
video clip of what God had done at Rock Church during the previous year, God declared that they should forget the former
things because they are in the past and embrace the things He would do in 98 - The year of Jubilee! After a powerful
teaching on how to properly handle the presence of God, Tommy Tenney led the congregation in repentance for the sins
of PRIDE and ARROGANCE. The whole place broke out in weeping and repentance. There was a call for Pastors
wanting revival in their churches or anyone who wanted to stand in proxy for their churches. People were weeping and
travailing for God to birth revival in their churches. They reminded people they didn't want the "Baltimore Blessing," they
wanted God! Marc Dupont had a vision where "God was offering a golden pen and was willing to make a contract that
would be signed in blood." As we signed it, we were yielding everything to Him, our rights, our ambitions and dying to
self. Evangelist Tommy Tenney felt we needed to seal everything by "tying it to the altar". This was done by "allowing
God to break our hearts." After that was done, the people gave a great shout of victory and two shofars were blown
signifying the walls were coming down. It was a solemn evening in the very Holy presence of God; much was
accomplished in the heavenlies as things were broken in us. My life will never be the same. After several years of
hungering and longing for more of God, coming to Rock Church was like a fresh, cool drink for a thirsty soul. Tuesday
evening, we entered into a period of jubilant worship, dancing and marching. There were testimonies given of miraculous
healings. Again, there was a call for pastors to surrender their ministries. People were called forward for healing for life
threatening diseases. There was ministry for impartation to intercessors, an anointing for businessmen, too much to
record all that was happening here. Marc Dupont had a vision of a large cloud of incense rising up to God's throne room
and as it hit the ceiling over the city, it was breaking through. God reminded him of a word that had originally been
delivered in Toronto last year by Carol Arnott but he felt it was also to be applied to the Rock Church at this time. That
word is copied here in its entirety:
3rd Anniversary Meeting - Monday, January 20, 1997 - Prophecy by Carol Arnott
When Randy Clark announced his sermon title "The Making of a Warrior" the Spirit fell powerfully on many people and
especially on Carol Arnott. For about twenty minutes, while on the floor, she was slashing violently with a two-handed
sword in her hands (her hands together as if holding a sword).
After Randy finished his message, she got up and powerfully delivered the following prophecy... "This is My sword, this is
not man's sword; this is My Golden sword. The ways you have been using My weapons, the methods that you have been
using in the past, you are to throw them away because I am giving you My sword now and the old ways of doing things
will not do. The old methods will not be acceptable to Me anymore because I am doing a new thing. Do not look to the
yesterdays but look to the future because I am doing a new thing and this new way is not the old. This new way is new
and you must throw away the old ways of doing things and take up My sword because My sword is made of pure gold
and is purer and is mighty. If you wield it the captives will be set free, the chains will be broken and the healings will be
manifest because it will not be by might, nor by power, but by My wonderful Holy Spirit. It is by Him, it is by Him that this
new wave will be brought forth, it is by Him that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will ride again. In this next wave I am
requiring those who take up this golden sword to be refined, to be pure, to have all the dross refined in the fire because if
you take this sword and there is secret sin in your life this sword will kill you. This next wave is no joke. It is not a
laughing matter. All those who do not want to give up their sin and are fearful, like Gideon's men, stand back, because I
am calling men and women in these next days that will allow me to refine them, that will allow me to chasten, but not
with anger because I am a loving God. I am a God full of mercy but I am serious as the time is short. The bridegroom is
most anxious for His bride, so those of you that will, let Me refine you and come and take up that golden sword for I will
use you in ways, I will use you in ways that you can't imagine, but I must purify you first." Evangelist Tommy Tenney
declared that next week would be a time when there would be signs, wonders, and miracles and that it would be a good
time to bring the sick for healing.

Baltimore Update
David Jehl via Russel White
"…a missionary to China, told us … their favorite song is "Be a martyr for the Lord"
Monday night, Feb. 2, 1998, Evangelist Tommy Tenney declared, "healing is the children's bread." During testimony time
a Nigerian member of the Rock Church spoke of Sunday mornings worship service. He and his wife were in church
worshipping God, unaware that doctors wanted to unplug life support on their baby, his lungs having filled up with blood,
and oxygen level dropping below 40%. The hospital desperately searched to find the parents to give them the bad news,
perhaps the remnants of a Nigerian curse against his families first born. After receiving the news at the hospital he
determined that the devil would not steal his baby. The couple began to intercede for their baby, and he was healed! The
embarrassed doctors were left with no explanation.
Tenney reminded us that Paul and Silas, in jail, worshipped their way through their circumstances, finding release and
healing. The Nigerian couple began to pray for other parents whose children were suffering from sickness or who were
backslidden. The service then became upbeat as children began dancing around the sanctuary and stage. We had a
Holy Ghost party!
Tuesday night an altar call was given for "wanna be worshippers"; those who wanted to reach from earth to heaven, to
break their earthen vessels.
During testimony time, Brother Dennis, a missionary to China, told us stories about the Chinese people, how their
favorite song is "Be a martyr for the Lord", not very popular in the States. It's like the book of Acts, great miracles and
great persecution.

The Lance Of The Basilisk

A vision given to Bob Jones
Written by Keith Davis
On July 23rd 1996, Bob was given a vision of the Lord. In this vision a high level demonic spirit was exposed for
Bob's observation. It was clear in the vision that the demon did not expect to be uncovered and revealed.
This evil spirit was accustomed to operating in secret without being detected or opposed. It was clearly pointed out
in the vision that this demon operated in the realm of religious superstitious imaginations. In essence, its primary role
was to promote religious superstition in the place of faith. This resulted in Christians praying out of their superstitious
imagination rather that the true revealed Word of God and its sacred Promises.
In his address to the Athenians, the apostle Paul described them as being "too superstitious" or religious" as some
translations render it. Paul presented the Truth of the gospel to replace their misplaced trust in fables and
superstitions. The Lord is desiring to do the same today.
This great enemy of the cross was identified as "Basilisk" or "little king of Serpents". Basilisk is also a symbol of the
devil himself whose primary purpose is death and destruction. The natural physical death resulting from this spirit
evolves from plagues and other sicknesses extending all the way back to ancient Israel. The Egyptians worshiped
this spirit as "the lord and king of Serpents, to awe all others, nor to be destroyed by any." They displayed a
crowned Basilisk on the heads of their gods as observed in the Bembine table and other Egyptian monuments. This
demonstrates Satan’s attempt to elevate himself above God as an object of worship.
Throughout history this spirit, sometimes translated in the scriptures as Cockatrice, has brought plagues at various
times causing great numbers of people to experience death. During those periods of time in history man attempted
various superstitions and fables in its attempt to combat this evil spirit and the death that it brought rather than
applying the blood of Christ and accepting the victory through His revealed Word.
Psalm 91 was given to Bob in this vision as a scripture of protection against this evil spirit. Particularly, the scripture
declares that our foot shall be placed upon the scorpion and the adder. We have been given authority to deal with
this spirit yet mankind has perished throughout history because of his lack of knowledge of this spirit and the true
application of Christ's victory over all demonic opposition.
On July 23rd 1997, this evil spirit was again revealed to Bob. Only this time, this spirit was multiplied hundreds of
times larger than last year. This seemed to reflect a tremendous increase in authority given to this fallen angel. It
appears that throughout certain cyclical periods a tremendous increase in authority is given to this spirit to cause
death and destruction.
This evil spirit now operating with the authority of a fallen angel was again described in Psalm 91:13. This scripture
declares, YOU WILL TREAD UPON THE LION AND THE COBRA, THE YOUNG LION AND THE
SERPENT YOU WILL TRAMPLE DOWN. The serpent referenced in this scripture is sometimes translated
Basilisk or dragon.
In Bob's vision this spirit was again unveiled as one utilizing the winds bringing plagues and viruses upon mankind
causing considerable death and misery. In his vision, Bob was shown this spirit approaching land between two
bridges. This description can be found in Lamentations 1:3 and will be expounded upon later.
As the vision continued, this spirit was shown with tremendous authority brooding over a nest of eggs. This indicates
that the spirit has been given the authority to birth tremendous death, tribulation and destruction in the earth. Isaiah
59:5 declares, They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that
which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
These assaults of the enemy can be combated, but only through corporate intercessory prayer. This prince of
darkness was again surprised to have been exposed for he was accustomed to operating undetected. So well
hidden is this spirit that he did not even require the darkness of night to operate as most evil spirits. He even
operated in the brightness of the noon day and prevailed during a three week period of the summer months with its
greatest effect from 12:00 noon until three in the afternoon.
It was revealed to Bob in the vision and confirmed through Jewish literature that this evil spirit prevails during a
certain season of the year. This season is called Bein Ha'm'tzarim by the Jewish writers. This term means "between
the straits" or" between the bridges" as Bob saw in his vision.
At the same time that this subsequent vision was being revealed, hurricane Danny entered Mobile Bay Alabama in
an area that perfectly fits this description. According to biblical definitions Dan is given to mean "to judge" once
again pointing to the coming justice of God. Hurricane Danny brooded over Mobile Bay for a considerable amount
of time dumping 40 inches or more rain on the area with high winds seemingly verifying in the natural the spiritual
truths of this revelation. For those who have hidden themselves in Christ and the Truth of His Word, there will be
nothing to fear. For those who have not, there will be great misery.
Lamentations 1:1-3 has a description of this term. Verse 3: "Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and
because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her
between the straits."
According to the early Jewish writers this term references a twenty-one day time period extending from the 17th of
Tammuz until the 9th of AV in the Judaic calendar. It is a time when this spirit is prevalent and even predominant
when unchallenged by the authority of Christ given to the Church through His shed blood. This high level authority
cannot be combated individually but must be dealt with through corporate united intercessory prayer.
This demon is also described in Deuteronomy 32:24, according to the rabbinical writings. They recorded that this
twenty-one day season was one of the most difficult times of the year "when the demons prevail". It is a dangerous
time where attention must be given to details or evil will sneak up on you, they described.
The early rabbis taught that Deuteronomy 32:24 could accurately be rendered - AND I WILL FIGHT AGAINST
THEM WITH FLAMING DEMONS. The "flaming demons" would be a reference to the spirit that the Lord is
desiring that we understand. Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken:
for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
Isaiah 14:29.
History records many of the catastrophic events that have taken place on these dates.
17th OF TAMMUZ
1. Moses smashed the tablets of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.

2. Daily sacrifices ceased.
3. A Torah scroll was burned in the Temple by "Apostomos".
4. An idol was erected in the Temple.
5. The city wall was finally breached.
9th OF AV
1200 B.C. - Israel told by God in the wilderness that generation would not enter the land of Israel.
586 B.C. - The Babylonian army destroyed the Holy Temple of Solomon.
70 C.E. - Titus and the Roman army destroyed the Holy Temple.
135 - "Bethar" the stronghold Bar Kochba fell ending the last trial for Jewish independence.
136 - Rome began to erect the pagan city on site of the Temple dedicating the temple to Jupiter.
1096 - The first crusades began
1290 - The Jews were expelled from England
1306 - The Jews were expelled from France
1492 - King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella signed expulsion orders for the Jews from Spain. By July 31,
on the 9th of AV, all Jews had to be out of Spain.
1648 - Chmelnicky massacred tens of thousands of Polish Jews
1914 - World War I began
1942 - "The Wanasee Conference" held in Germany. Detailed plans for the annihilation of Jews were
finished beginning World War II.
The twenty-one days extending from the 17th of Tammuz until the 9th of AV represented a notable time of
bitterness and destruction for the Jews. According to these Rabbis the demon that prevails during this time is also
called "ketev" or "destruction" which is also an adjective for bitter or marra. We believe that this is the same spirit
that Bob was shown in his vision.
It was during this precise time that the Lord's prophecy concerning the destruction of Jerusalem was fulfilled. On the
17th of Tammuz 70 C.E. the Romans breached the walls of Jerusalem. For three weeks, Roman troops ransacked
and destroyed the city until, on the 9th of AV, they burned the Temple. The Jews regarded "Ketev" not just as a
plague but as a demon with the authority to cause death and destruction through plagues.
The ancient leaders recognized that the righteous must be hidden in the secret place of the Most High during this time
of trouble which they believed was a dress rehearsal for the birth pangs of Messiah.
YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID OF THE TERROR BY NIGHT OR THE ARROW THAT FLIES BY DAY: OF
THE PESTILENCE THAT STRIKES IN DARKNESS OR OF THE DESTRUCTION THAT LAYS WASTE AT
NOON
Psalms 91:5-6.
Even the early Jewish writers recognized that this evil spirit not only operated during darkness but also in the
brightness of the noon day. This prevailing evil spirit even used the heat of the noon day sun to cause death among
those who had not hidden themselves in the secret place of the most High through the blood of Jesus Christ.
According to these rabbis the heat of the noon-day from 12:00 until 3:00 was a time of extreme activity for this evil
spirit.
For 1998 this twenty-one day period begins the evening of July 10th and extends through August 1st. . Even a
review of recent years will reveal that this season of time has produced considerable destruction through storms and
floods along with extreme heat and famine.
If this demon continues to go unchecked through intercessory prayer then great destruction will come to people.
We must be brought out of darkness into light so that we would not perish because of a lack of knowledge of this
evil spirit and its operations.
The prophet Zechariah spoke of these dates in Zechariah 8:19.
THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, "THE FAST OF THE FOURTH, THE FAST OF THE FIFTH, THE
FAST OF THE SEVENTH, AND THE FAST OF THE TENTH MONTHS WILL BECOME JOY, GLADNESS,
AND CHEERFUL FEASTS FOR THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: SO LOVE TRUTH AND PEACE"
The fast of the fourth month was to be conducted on the 17th of Tammuz representing a day of mourning because of
the capture of Jerusalem and the various other catastrophic events that took place on this date. The fast of the fifth
month was to take place on the 9th of AV because of the historical tragedies that occurred on this date. These
dates of mourning and fasting were to be conducted until the promise of the coming restoration of Judah and the
Messianic Kingdom.
On July 16, 1994, the twenty-one pieces of Shoemaker-Levi comet began its bombardment on the planet Jupiter.
Jupiter is commonly recognized as a symbol of idolatry and paganism. One of the most devastating events in the
history of Israel occurred when the image of Jupiter was placed in the Temple of God. We continue to observe
the feast of Hanukkah as a celebration of the victory of the Maccabees in removing this pagan god from the temple
and re-instituting temple worship.
This date is extremely important because it was the 9th of AV for that year. We've already outlined the various
events that have taken place on this date throughout history. It is clearly prophetically significant that the Shoemaker
Levi comet began its assault on the planet Jupiter on this notable date. It is also significant that the comet was
broken into twenty-one pieces also representing the twenty-one days extending from the 17th of Tammuz until the
9th of AV, the season which this prevailing spirit operates with its greatest authority.
In Biblical symbolism the number 21 is also connected to the evil reign of Zedekiah as well as the twenty-one day
battle between the prince of Persia and God's angels Michael and Gabriel. It was also divine order that this
bombardment on Jupiter began on the 9th of AV and extended exactly seven days until July 22, 1994. All of these
have prophetic implication and should be meditated upon by each Christian to extract its fullest meaning.
Even though Jupiter is a symbol of idolatry for the pagan world, it is also a term for righteousness in the Hebrew
language. The Hebrew name for Jupiter is Tzedeq and comes from the word meaning righteous or righteous one. It
is from this term that the name Melchizedek is derived denoting "King of Righteousness".
Clearly, we can see that Satan has perverted Jupiter into a symbol of idolatry yet we can glean understanding from
this term as a symbol of righteousness in the hope of our being cleansed by the truth of God's Word making us a
suitable habitation for His Holy Spirit so that we can share in His holiness.
In Isaiah 26:17-21, the prophet Isaiah speaks of a season when the elect in Christ are directed to hide themselves
for a season while wrath and indignation take its course. Zephaniah 2:3 also makes reference to a season when we
are directed to seek the Lord, seek righteousness, and seek humility and perhaps we will be hidden in the day of the
Lord's anger.
This 21 day season is a rehearsal for the season of great pain and tribulation coming to the earth. Fortunately, the
church has the promise of being hidden away in Christ during this season for He bore all our judgment upon
Himself. This can be referred to as the day of concealment.
It is imperative that the church begin to recognize the truth being revealed by the Holy Spirit so that she can be
prepared during these seasons. We must be like the sons of Isachar who knew times and seasons. We must know
when to attack and when to simply hide ourselves in Christ and allow tribulation to run its course.

Basket Visions
Bob Neuman
there are times when I get very vivid and clear images that pertain to a specific
issue. yet they do not seem to qualify as a vision because of their length or the
fact that I get no solid witness in my spirit. I know it is from the MOST HOLY
SPIRIT but can be quite off the wall and out of nowhere. that is where "these''
were until last night when it all tied together. so please bear with me a minute as
I stumble through this.
a week ago I was watching CNN have a 'town meeting' to build up popular support
for military action against Saddam Hussein. Sec of Defense Cohen kept repeating
the phrase "contain Saddam Hussein...", and those 'red flags' suddenly rose up in my
spirit. and out of nowhere I saw this straw basket, sort of roundish and had a simple
lid. and without warning it sort of moved. there was something in it. and in my spirit
I saw a huge king cobra, and I knew it was in the basket. and that was it.
the comparison of our attempting to contain Saddam was like keeping one extremely
large and dangerous snake in a straw basket. obvious....
and when the efforts of Mr. Anin appeared to succeed I again saw the basket sitting
on the floor in a room crowded with toddlers. and I had the impression that it was a
real big basket....
yesterday I heard Sen. Trent LOT complain about the agreement with Saddam and
he kept using the term "appeasement". once again I saw the basket in the room with
a lot of "rug rats"....children who were into everything but cannot be accountable....
and my first thought was that was a big basket with one big snake...how do you
appease it? feed it? and what could you feed Saddam to keep him 'appeased'....
feed him a child? and then I watched the sides of the basket undulate as the snake
moved inside. my second thought was 'that's one damned big snake and he won't
stay long in that basket.....
all of this seems pretty straight forward....and felt no urge to write it down....and then last
night in a vision I saw two huge snakes. one was the cobra raised up and swaying, the
second was a huge constrictor, quietly laying on a perch. and the LORD said: WHAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO? and I waited thinking about them.
and suddenly I saw a man 'charming' the cobra....swaying in rhythm with the cobra, but
at a distance...next I saw a dancing girl with a snake draped over her shoulders and around
her body. she was dressed as any belly dancer and her moves were typically provocative.
and I heard clearly this statement; "WHILE THE WORLD KEEPS THE COBRA AT A
RESPECTFUL DISTANCE, THE CHURCH DANCES WITH THE SERPENT".
hard word but true.

The Battle Has Begun

Prophecy by Chris Christensen
2/15/98
"Even as I am pouring out my Spirit on all flesh, so also is the prince of darkness intensifying his efforts to destroy
you. The battle has begun in earnest. Make no mistake, says the Lord, this is war. And there will be many casualties
and much spiritual bloodshed. I have begun to give you clear battle strategies for seizing the assets of the enemy and
tearing down strongholds. I have called you to corporate prayer for families, for church bodies, for cities, for states, and
for nations. I am revealing the plans and purposes of the enemy with which he would deceive you. And I am raising up
watchmen who will sound the alarm and ring out the battle cry.
Fear not for I am with you to the end. I have already paid the price. Victory is assured. Do not be moved by what you
see, or what you hear, or what you feel. The battle is spiritual. Your weapons are spiritual. It is not by power, nor by
might, but by my Spirit says the Lord.
Soon I will stir up the nations with signs in the heavens, and in the earth, and under the earth. The battle lines will
become more clearly defined to all who have ears to hear my Spirit. Yet many will fall away and say, "where is the Lord
in all this? Why isn't He doing something?" These things must come that your faith might be proven. Have I not said that
without faith it is impossible to please me? You are still walking by sight and not by faith, says the Lord. You are still
carnally minded. Soon also will come an all out attack on my church. The kingdom of darkness will amass to tear down
the church structure. Those who are not rooted and grounded upon the rock of my Son will fall away. There will soon be a
concerted effort to eliminate all financial and moral rights you have. Organizations who obey my Word and speak my
truth regarding sexual perversions and life-styles will be outlawed as illegal and shut down. The church will lose tax
exempt privileges and many doors will close. Freedom of assembly will soon become restricted.
Again I say to you, prepare for war. The battle lines are clearly drawn, says the Lord. Yet I will move on behalf of my
bride in awesome and manifest power in these days. For the harvest has begun and it is time to reap. I am bringing unity
to my body. Denominational and cultural lines are being erased. My church is on the move in every nation like never
before, says the Lord. I am about to move in ways that you could never conceive. Much has remained hidden until this
day, but I am about to reveal more of my glory. I will soon pour out my Spirit with greater measure and intensity, says the
Lord. And it will reveal even deeper areas of my working in you. You have asked for more. "More, Lord" is the cry of your
heart. Yet you do not know what you are really saying. For I desire to give you more, and I am going to pour out more.
More love. More power. More fire. More pruning. More purging. More judgment. More blessing. More refining. More signs
and wonders. More of a spirit of repentance. More of a spirit of intercession. More cost. And more commitment. I am the
God of more.
Remember that to whomever more is given, more is required, says the Lord. The day of the Lord is soon to be upon
you. My Son is preparing for the wedding. Even now He gazes upon His soon to be bride with longing and anticipation.
Keep your lamps trimmed and filled. These are the days of revelation. Let him who has ears to hear, hear what I reveal
through my prophets in these days. Let no one deceive you with vain and empty words. Again I say to you, let him who
has ears to hear, hear what I am saying to my church", says the Lord.

The 1999 Shepherd's Rod

Bobby Conner
INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE TERM, "SHEPHERD’S ROD?"
The term "SHEPHERD’S ROD" derives from the passage of scripture in Ezekiel 20:37 which states,
"I will take note of you as you pass under my rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant."
(NIV)
This verse symbolically depicts a shepherd holding forth his rod as the sheep pass under it. Before
his watchful eye, the shepherd evaluates and closely observes each one. Also, we see this pictured in
Leviticus 27:32: "And concerning the tithes of the herd or the flock, of whatever passes under the rod,
the tenth one shall be holy to the Lord." Every true believer is known as the sheep of HIS pasture. We,
too, have a spiritual evaluation on the Day of Atonement. The Lord Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He
watches over His sheep and longs to lead us into green pastures. This speaks of a place of
protection, provision, rest and refreshment. The reason for writing this prophetic report is to help you
understand more about the times we are living in. I want to share with you what I feel the Lord has
revealed to me. This is in no way a comprehensive or extensive prophetic perspective. My heart's
desire is to create a deep hunger in your heart to seek after the Lord. The scriptures remind us of the
fact that, "we prophesy in part because we only see in part." Never, for a moment, follow just one
prophetic ministry. We desperately need to hear what the Spirit of Truth is saying to the whole body of
Christ. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to see and your ears to hear what the Spirit
is saying and doing during these days of revelation. I do believe that we will see a radical revolution
that will redefine how the modern day Church defines Christianity. We are in need of understanding
the times as never before. Our world is changing and we must have the mind of Christ. These are
days when the Holy Spirit will release fresh "discernment" on a level we have not witnessed before!
God bless you as you seek HIM.

Note: All verses in KJV unless otherwise noted.
ATTUNED TO THESE APOCALYPTIC TIMES
This is a prophetic perspective for these "apocalyptic" days we live in. The Church must be
"awakened" in order to be "attuned to these apocalyptic times." The definition of the word "attuned"
according to Webster is: "To bring into spiritual harmony" and to be "fitted for a purpose." The
meaning of "apocalyptic" deals with a time of unveiling of hidden things. We are living in a time of
unprecedented revelatory releasing from the Spirit of God. This anointing will be on a level we have
not seen before. The Body of Christ must be equipped to deal with these rapidly approaching end
times. The scripture warns us concerning these chaotic days in Matthew 24. Jesus said, "Except
these days be shortened no flesh would be saved."
The main theme will be, "THE LORD IS GOOD." The verse for 1999 will be Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is
good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in HIM!" The Prophet’s name -
Nahum - will give insight into what the Spirit of God desires to do. His name means "comfort" or
"conciliation." Even in a time of judgement, we will see the tender mercy of God. We must never forget
that with a love deeper than we could ever imagine, the Lord loves His people and He only wants what
is the very best for each one of us. Paul, in Romans 8:31, gives us insight into the extent of God’s love
for us. "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all
things?" It is imperative that we get this deep down into our spirit: "God is good; and He does good!"
FOCUS MUST BE UPON THE LORD

Recorded in the Gospel of Mark, there is an encounter with a terrible storm that the disciples of Jesus
faced. We can gain much insight from their experience. Jesus gave them these instructions: "Get in
the boat; we are going to cross over the lake to the other side." A horrible storm occurred as they
crossed the lake. Their hearts were so terrified by what they saw that they forgot the words that Jesus
had spoken to them. They forgot about His power and authority over creation. They were even at the
point of accusing Jesus of not caring. We must have our hearts fixed upon the words of Jesus so that
when the storm winds are howling, we are not moved by what we see, but we trust in what we have
heard Him say. Our hearts must steadfastly hold onto the promises of God’s Word.
Lamentations 3:24-25: "I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The
LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him." (NIV)
The next fact we will face is - This Good God Reigns!
THE ROYAL REIGN OF GOD!
Some highlights of this year’s Shepherd’s Rod will be found in Psalm 99. I was taught by my prophetic
friend, Bob Jones, that many times the Lord will speak to him out of the Psalm that has the same
number as the year number. The Lord did speak to me and confirmed this saying, "Psalm 99 would
indeed be a very important passage for this year of 1999." This Psalm deals with the Royal Reign of
God. It will benefit us to read this Psalm in more than one translation. This will help us better
understand what the Lord is speaking to us.
PSALM 99
"The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. Let them praise thy great and terrible
name; for it is holy. The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest
judgment and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he
is holy. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they
called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou
wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. Exalt the LORD
our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy."
PSALM 99 (Amplified)
Please carefully read this prophetic Psalm. This Psalm is dealing with the power of God. Our world is
about to come to the realization that Almighty God is upon HIS THRONE! "The Lord reigns, " Notice
that this is a proclamation. There is absolutely no doubt about it - THE LORD RULES! Man has
mocked and rejected the fact that God rules, but now we are about to experience the judgement of
God. Next, notice that this will produce in the people a deep, reverential fear. The fear of the Lord is
not a bad thing. The scriptures declare: "And he said the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to shun
evil is understanding." (Job 28:28) Again we read: "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of real
wisdom." (Proverbs 9:10) This Godly fear will produce a trembling. The scripture informs us that it is to
these people that the Lord will look - to the people who truly fear HIM and tremble at His word. Vs.1:
"Let the peoples tremble with reverential fear! The Spirit of God is about to release an awesome fear
of the Lord into the hearts of the Saints of God. In Revelation 15:4 we read: "Who shall not fear thee, O
Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy; for all nations shall come and worship before thee,
for thy judgments are made manifest." A man of true wisdom states: "let us hear the conclusion of the
whole matter; Fear God, keep his commandments; for this the whole duty of man." (Ecclesiastes
12:13) Returning to Psalm 99:1: "He sits enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth quake!" The
Lord is above all, the host of heaven worship HIM. The very earth itself quakes at his presence. "The
Lord is great in Zion, and He is high above all the peoples. Let them confess and praise Your great
name, awesome and reverence inspiring! It is holy, and holy is He!" The body of Christ would benefit
from a study of the names of God. If we study His names we will understand more about His nature.
One of the names of God is El Shaddai, which means: "the God that is more than enough!" Another
name of God is JEHOVAH. This name is used over six thousand times in the Bible. The name
JEHOVAH speaks of God’s mighty power and it identifies HIM as "The Self-Existent One!" We will
soon discover that the name of the Lord is a strong tower and we can take refuge in what He has
promised. (See Psalms 9:9-10 & Proverbs 18:10)
PSALM 99 Continued (Amplified)
Vs.4-6: "The strength of the king who loves righteousness and equity You establish in uprightness. You
execute justice and righteousness in Jacob (Israel). Extol the Lord our God and worship at His
footstool! Holy is He! Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel was among those who
called upon His name: they called upon the Lord, and He answered them." God is a prayer-answering
God. He will reveal many things to us if we only take time to call upon His name. (See Jeremiah 33:3)
It is important to remember the words of Jesus as He reminds us that God answers prayer. (See John
16:24 & Mark 11:22-24) Also, take time to study these promises of answered prayer found in 1 John
5:14 & John 15:7.
Vs. 7-9: "He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud: they kept His testimonies and the statutes that He
gave them. You answered them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, although
avenging their evildoing and wicked practices. Extol the Lord our God and worship at His holy hill, for
the Lord our God is holy!"
THINGS THE LORD REVEALED!
I will give a brief statement of what was spoken to me. Later, I will share many more details concerning
the prophetic insights and how they will affect our lives.
The Body of Christ will be Shaken Awake by the Prophetic Voice
Ezekiel 37:7: "So I prophesied as I was commanded. - And there came a shaking..."
See Romans 13:11-14 See Hebrews 12: 25-29
Prophets have been like Jonah
They have been fearful and running away from the message and ministry. It is sad to see that the
wicked are waking the sleeping prophets and challenging them to seek their God.
See Jonah 1:6
Money Markets will Tumble
This year the ax of God’s judgement will be laid to the root of the world’s financial markets. Wall Street
will become Wailing Street. Real money will be as counterfeit: it will not have any real substance or
value. He said to remind the rich of the warning in James 5:1-5: "Come now, you rich, weep and howl
for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have
become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you
and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure! Behold,
the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, {and} which has been withheld by you, cries out
{against you} and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of
Sabaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened
your hearts in a day of slaughter." (NAS)
Fear will be a Real Foe to Face These Days
We will see phobia and extreme fear on a level of terror and horror never experienced. Faith or fear
will rule your heart. Our generation has never faced such a change as what is coming. Many hearts will
fail for fear of what is coming upon them. Luke 21:26: "men's hearts failing them from fear and the
expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken."
Children Will Hear on a New Higher Level
This coming anointing will enable them to release shocking wisdom and revelation. We must seek to
become childlike in order to be able to see and enter the Kingdom of God. Matthew 21:16: "And said
unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of
the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
Mental Madness on an All Time High
There will be hysteria and paralyzing panic on a level we have never faced. There will not be enough
medication to comfort these fearful hearts. People will be dismayed over the things coming upon the
earth. The only hope of peace is to keep your mind and heart stayed, firmly focused, upon Jesus
Christ, the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 26:3-4: "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed
on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, is
everlasting strength."
See Psalms 27:1-5 See Psalms 37:1-5 See Psalms 46:1-7
We can gain great hope from these promises of Peace!
Plagues and Pestilence
These coming judgements will release a more severe affliction than previously has been seen by our
generation. These epidemics will be worldwide. The Jordan River, which is a type of death, always
overflows its banks at harvest time. We have come to the end of the age, the reaping of the harvest of
both good and evil. A very powerful flesh-eating fungi and bacteria is coming. This is something the
medical profession has never seen. The body of Christ must move into the healing anointing. Jesus
said that in His name we would lay hands on the sick and they would be healed. (See Mark 16:11-20)
It is time the Body of Christ walks in the power of the Holy Spirit to heal. We must discover the truth of
Luke 1:37. It is time for us to obey the instructions found in James 5:13-16.
Signs in the Heavens and the Earth Beneath
Seismic activity will cause the sunshine to be shaded or darkened in different parts of the world. A
gray cloud will arise hiding the sun’s light. Ash will darken the sky. This is the result of mountains
exploding and rocks falling from the sky. This will be a time of volcanic activity that is more extreme
than ever previously witnessed. The earth will quake, and shake. 1999 is the year that the earth’s
shaking begins. Matthew 24:29: "Immediately after the distress of these days, the sun will be
darkened, the moon will not give it’s light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will
be shaken." (NIV)
Weapons of Mass Destruction
The war of words will begin to break out into real war. Weapons of death and mass destruction are
armed and ready to fire. Intercession can disarm these. This is not just some people rattling swords -
this is for real. Some nations are planning a "holy war" which is a demonic "unholy war." This is not an
idle threat.
Demonic Delusion Increasing
There is a rise in the interest of vampires - they were revealed as: "Bloodsuckers." This will be a
strong demonic delusion. I saw almost a subculture of people involved in this type of demonic activity.
They were drinking blood and fantasizing about gaining a false immortality (false eternal life). The
demonic will release an all out attack on the hearts and minds of very young children. We must teach
our children to fear the Lord. Proverbs 9:10: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the
knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (NIV)
Contaminated Evangelism
The sea will become sicker. I saw the Fish affected by what was described as mercury vapor - a slime
or bacteria on the fish. This deals with a contamination of evangelism. If this slime comes in contact
with a man’s eyes it produces a problem with his focus and a distortion of his vision. Somehow this
deals with the contamination of the true gospel message. If Paul could warn us of this in his day, how
much more should we be warned today? Notice his warning found in 2Corinthians 11:4: "For if
someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a
different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up
with it easily enough." (NIV) (Also, see Galatians 1:8-9) One of the signs of the end-time will be many
false Christs coming forth. There will be a strong delusion concerning true salvation. (See Matthew
24:1-32)
Communism’s Comeback
Russia was hanging on a broken limb like over-ripe fruit and it fell to the earth and out spilled the
seeds of communism. It fell into the fertile soil of discontentment. These bitter weeds will spring up
and grow very, very fast. This old "Bear" is not as weak as America thinks.
Troubled Waters
I saw shock waves in the waters off the coast of Japan. The waters will be very troubled. I feel this will
deal with the financial upheaval that is more than just "storms at sea." The Asian stock markets will
crumble and fall. This will release a shock wave reaching all the way to Wall Street.
Ethnic Unrest
There will be trouble around the Black Sea. From the depths will come uprisings springing from
unresolved wounds and they will be coming to the surface in this area. This region will see
preparations for conflicts. Nations will rise up against nations. (See Matthew 24:7-8)
America’s Terror
America will experience terror and terrorism within our borders. There is a real danger of terroristic
activities against our water systems. The threat from biological weapons is real. The Church must
pray and intercede seeking wisdom to know how to disarm these plans and plots. This is not a time to
be, "at ease in Zion."
Winds of Death
Death winds are blowing across much of Africa. Aids will take a toll on the continent. Dust storms will
bring death. Many people will fall to famine. Food will be in very short supply.
The Pope
The Pope, in preparation for his home going, will release a strong prophetic word. He has received a
real visitation from Christ Jesus, and has an anointed message. Out of this message will come a real
harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God
The Millennium Bug
Y2K is worse than we think. Each one should seek the Lord, for directions and understanding as to
what they need to do. There is a great deal of information available on the Internet. (Run a search on
y2k.) This will be a refining fire that will bring the Body of Christ together. (See Acts 4:32-33)
The Sky is Falling
THE SKY IS FALLING! This is not some nursery rhyme. This deals with the activity of an asteroid and
meteors. Revelation 6:13: "And the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when
shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was
removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and
every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the
mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from
the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?"
The New Agers Are Coming In!
Many will be saved from the "New Age" cults. They will be drawn to the true light when the evil light of
their hearts is exposed. "If the light in you be darkness, how great is that darkness?" This is not a time
to run from those in darkness, but rather, to run to them with the true light of the Gospel! Jesus
declared us to be the, "Light of the World," and the Church is a, "City set on a hill, which cannot be
hidden." It is a great time to let your LIGHT SHINE. (See Matthew 5:13-16)
South America
A mighty move of God will continue to sweep across South America. There will be many dead raised
as a testimony of the power of Jesus Christ. Great grace will be upon the SPANISH-SPEAKING
nations for the miraculous.
Border Changes
World maps will need to be redrawn because borders and boundaries will change.
Turkey is Mine
Turkey will respond to the invitation of Jesus. The open-air theater in Ephesus will echo with the
praises of God and these words, "Great is the Lord God Almighty." The Lord appeared as a gold
prospector and said, "I’ve come to reclaim My claim. Turkey is MINE!"
Faithfulness
Little things do mean a lot. Don’t despise the little things. Be faithful in the little and God will give you
more. (See Luke 19:17) Really let this word encourage you, especially if you think you don’t have a lot.
Ministry to the Inner Cities
There will be a serious blood shortage, but no shortage of blood. If the Church does not get back to
the inner cities, blood will continue to flow in the streets.
Preaching With the Only Real Power
The message of the Blood of the Lamb will be preached in power. Great grace will be upon this bold
proclamation against the defilement of sin. Songs of the Blood of Jesus will come again to the
Church. 1 Peter 1:18-19: "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things,
as silver and gold,... But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot." Also in Revelation 1:5: "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten
of the dead,... Unto him, that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
Hidden Hate-groups - In Your Face
I saw many moles coming up out of the ground. They were blind and very ugly, and seemed to have a
form of rabies. They were running all about trying to bite anyone they could come in contact with. I
asked the Lord, "Who are these?" He said they are the underground groups that will surface, such as
hate groups, radical paramilitary, Nazi, and etc. They will seek to make bold inroads into our schools
and universities, seeking to rob these end-time warriors
The End of Hype
The lights will go out on Broadway, speaking of an end to the show biz ministry. It will pass off the
stage.
Youth with The Message
Radical youth will take to the streets with the message of Christ Jesus. Heaven will give witness with
signs and mighty wonders. (See Mark 16:17-20)
Idolatry in the Church
Sacred cows will be cursed this year. God will deal with our idolatry. Exodus 20:3-5: "Thou shalt have
no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing... that is in the earth beneath, ¼Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, not serve them: for I the
Lord thy God am a jealous God."
Holiness Is Not A Dirty Word
God will bless the message of holiness. The youth will take up the banner and declare a new breed of
purity from the heart. The radical youth will begin a fresh move of righteousness dealing with sex. They
are going to become pure in heart and body. Parents will learn righteousness from them.
Reaping Missionaries
Waves of missionaries will come to America. We have cast our bread on the waters, now it will return.
Family Life is Precious to the Lord
Home life will be very precious. Fathers and mothers will get to know their children. Many will turn off
their television and sit with their families telling their visions. This will be much more exciting than
anything Hollywood could bring forth. This will be directed by the Holy Spirit -- a "Holy-would." Many
will see upcoming attractions in visions and dreams and trances.
The Heat is On
This is a time of Malachi 3 - God is turning up the burner. This is a time of refining that will bring the
Body together - a melting together. Psalms 133:1-3: "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon
the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon,
and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the
blessing, even life for evermore." The words, "dwell together," make a very strong statement. The
words mean to be melted into one - to be fused together to become one.
New Sounds in the Church
The sound of the Church will be "Charged with Change." A new sound and a new song are coming.
The sound of "BELLS" and the sound of "TRUMPETS" will be heard through the entire Body of Christ
from coast to coast and around the world.
The Virtual Light Show
The Heavens will display the fire of God. There will be signs in the heavens like the world has never
before witnessed. Keep your eye looking toward heaven. You will see LIGHT AS NEVER BEFORE.
An example of that occurred in Mobile Bay on Friday, August 24, 1998. In just one hour, more than
7,000 lightning strikes were recorded. I feel this was a prophetic sign from heaven giving testimony
about the "Thunder in the Bay" meeting.
A Season of Bitter Betrayal
Brother will turn against brother. This will be fueled by a wicked spirit of competition. There will be a
seeking of one’s own glory and a seeking of control. (See Matthew 24:10)
East Coast Outpouring
There will come an increase in the Winds of the Spirit all across the East Coast. This will be the year
of the anointed TEACHER. Many will be anointed to teach the Word of God with anointing and power.
The Holy Spirit will confirm what is being said with displays of the power of God. The waves of
anointing will be released all along the East coast in a line from Miami, Florida all the way to St. John,
Nova Scotia.
God’s Hidden Men
Many of God’s hidden men will begin to emerge during this year. Their faces will reflect the fact that
their hearts have been with Jesus.
The Battle Axe & Balance Scales
One thing that I was shown this year was that battle axes and balance scales were being released to
the prophetic. I feel that this deals with the prophetic word helping to set into place the Government of
God. This will be a time of the birthing of the Apostolic in today’s church.
PROPHETIC EVENTS
I want to give you some of the prophetic events that occurred during this Shepherd’s Rod. Many times,
what happens in the life of the prophet is the message that the Spirit of God is speaking. The man and
what transpires with him is the message. We can see this many times in the Old Testament as God
unfolded His plan. With this in mind, I will share some of these events.
Oil on my ear!
At 10:00PM I was sitting in my chair when suddenly my right eye felt like it had something irritating it. It
was burning and watering so I got a magnifying mirror and looked in it but found nothing in my eye. But
what I did see was oil forming in drops in and on my right ear. Just as I saw the oil in my ear, my eye
stopped hurting and my vision was restored. I feel the Lord is saying that HE is going to affect our
vision in order to affect our hearing. It is going to be very important during these days of transition to
be able to clearly hear the voice of the LORD. It is crucial to understand that the number 10 in the
scriptures speak of Law, order, testing and trial. This is what God is about to release upon the earth. It
is important to understand the message of the magnifying mirror. The Word of God is described as a
mirror which speaks of the word of God studying our lives and ‘to magnify’ deals with our close study
of the Word of God. James 1:22-25: "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural
face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he
was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but
a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does." During this event, the anointing was
upon my ear. This deals with hearing more than just seeing. This is one reason, during these end
times, the devil will be able to deceive many people with lying signs and wonders. We must have a
clear ear to hear what God is saying. The message will deal with hearing God more than just seeing
miracles. Proverbs 20:12: "The hearing ear, and the seeing eye the Lord hath made even both of
them."
Pressure on the Forehead
The next event that happened to me was that I suddenly had pressure on my forehead. It was as if a
very hot hand was being pressed against my forehead directly above my eyes. I feel that this is a sign
of the Lord’s marking or branding upon the foreheads of His servants. Additionally, the Lord is giving
His prophets a tender heart but a hard head. The Lord said, "You will need my rest and peace upon
you to make it through the things that are coming."
The Little Clock with a BIG Sound
My little travel clock was sitting on the bed table when suddenly it began to tick so loudly that it
sounded as if someone was striking an anvil with a hammer. I looked and the time was 11:00PM. This
was strange because the actual time was only 10:30PM. The Lord said, "Oh no! It is much later than
you think!" He said it is the 11th hour. This is speaking of time being very short, and that the time of
the end-time judgements being upon us. The Lord said this stood for Psalm 11:1-7: "In the LORD I
take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain." For look, the wicked
bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in
heart. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? The LORD is in his holy
temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. On the
wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the LORD is
righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face." (NIV)
Country Singer and The Juice Harp Band!
I saw a friend of mine who is a very famous Country singer. He was looking out toward the horizon and
had a puzzled look on his face. Then the hand of the Father reached down ever so gently and lifted his
face toward heaven. My friend’s hair began to grow very fast. It was a beautiful gold-brown color and
grew very fast, covering his face. Then a strong wind came and blew his hair back and I could see and
hear that he had a "Mouth Harp" and he was playing a beautiful song "Amazing Grace." This was a
version of Amazing Grace like I had never heard before - it was something out of this world. Suddenly,
he was joined by a great host of others and all of them had Mouth Harps, but, they were called the
"Juice Harp Band." I feel this change to "Juice" deals with the coming anointing and grace upon the
anointed singers. The Spirit of the Lord longs to release the sound and the song of the Lord. Get
ready, for new sounds are coming to the Church.
A VISITATION FROM CHRIST JESUS!
A Visitor In My Room At 1:30AM
A Visitor awakened me in my room. I believe this was the LORD JESUS HIMSELF! He was standing
on my left side, dressed in a beautiful purple and shiny white silk garment. In HIS hand He had a brown
sheep skin scroll. He unrolled the scroll and shook it out over me. It unrolled very fast with a loud
sound. The sound had power in it. The sound went into me, and electrified or charged me and the
room was filled with a heat. Without speaking a word, He had somehow filled my spirit with revelation.
Then He nodded His head toward a wall. This had deep meaning for me because it was in this very
place on November 11, 1996 that I had a very strong visitation from the Lord. During that visitation, HE
changed the wall into a map of the entire world and showed me different places where He would do
things. Also, I knew that in this nod of His head He was telling me to go to the top of the mountain. I
have had many different encounters with the Lord in this Mountain. With a smile, which caused HIS
face to radiate with the deepest compassion, He was gone. Yet I knew that he had spoken a great
deal.
The Promise of Redemption
He indicated to me that the time He appeared was 1:30AM sharp, which deals with Psalm 130. This
Psalm deals with the Promise that the Lord Hears Our Prayers! Psalm 130:1-8:"Out of the depths I
have cried to Thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice! Let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my
supplications. If Thou, LORD, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is
forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in His
word do I hope. My soul {waits} for the Lord more than the watchmen for the morning; {indeed, more
than} the watchmen for the morning. O Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is loving-
kindness, and with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities."
The Colors of Redemption
The colors of HIS GARMENTS are a deep, beautiful purple and a shining white. The deep, beautiful
purple is a mixture of red and blue. The color purple speaks of Christ’s Royalty and His Kingship. Red
speaks of His Blood and blue speaks of Revelation. (See Exodus 25:4, Mark 15:17 & John 19:2) The
shining white speaks of Purity and Holiness. The white robe of righteousness and the priestly
garments all deal with His Office of High Priest. Additionally, the nod of HIS HEAD speaks of
Direction and Government.
The Brown Lambskin Scroll
The color brown is important. It speaks of servanthood. The scroll was rolled very tight, which speaks
of revelation that has been in the Lord’s hands, yet not to be released until NOW. The scroll was very
soft. This speaks of the tender mercy of the Lord, for even in judgement He is full of mercy. The sound
was a sharp snap! It had a penetrating force that pushed the sound deep into my innermost being.
This was an anointing and commissioning giving a fresh release of revelation and understanding.
The Unrolled Scroll
The scroll being unrolled speaks of released revelation. There is an unsealing of things that have been
shut up, but are now being released. Daniel 12:4: "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the
book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." Daniel 12:9: "
for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end."
A Time of Real Power
This Power Is For A Real Purpose See Acts 1:8 & Acts 10:38
This is a time of released revelation and revealed power unlike the Church in these days has seen.
The Kingdom of God is not just of talk but power. (See 1 Corinthians 4:20 & 1 Thessalonians 1:5) The
Church will soon find out that the gifts of the Spirit of God are tools - not toys. This power will be for a
purpose. The Holy Spirit is about to release power to an obedient people like we have not yet seen.
This power is for a reason. We must do the works of Jesus. (John 14:12) Jesus said that as He was
sent, so now He is sending His followers. (John 20:20-21) This anointing of power for purpose is only
given to them that obey. (Luke 24:49 & Acts 2:1-3) We must become who we are--Ambassadors of
Christ. The word ambassador deals with real authority. Paul informs us about our high and heavenly
calling in 2 Corinthians 5:17-20: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things
have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is,
that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has
committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God
were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." Notice the word
ambassadors. This is a strong word. It means to be a senior representative sent out with power, i.e.,
the same authority and power as the one who sent him. The Church can no longer walk in self-
imposed amnesia. We must have clear understanding of just who we are and what we are to be
doing.
THE INVITATION -- "COME UP HERE!"
The Lord is offering the Body of Christ an invitation none can afford to turn down. This invitation is in
Revelations 4:1. Notice the first words, "After this" What does this statement mean? After what? The
"after this" is referring to what happened just before it. This is very important. We can’t answer the
invitation to come up here until first we have dealt with Revelations 3:20-22.
Jesus Gives the Invitation!
The invitation is found in Revelations 3:20-4:2: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come into him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. After this I
looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of
a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on
the throne."
Insights Into the Meaning of these Events
1. The Knocking. This speaks of the Lord getting our undivided attention.
2. Hearing HIS VOICE.
3. Opening the door for the Lord of Glory to enter into the last days Church.
4. The Fellowship meal with Jesus in which He consumes us and we consume Him.
5. We get to sit with HIM upon HIS throne, which speaks of true authority.
It is this end-time Church that opens wide the door to Jesus that HE invites to, "come up here!" We will
be able to see things from His perspective and not just from ours.
THE THEME IS, "GOD IS GOOD AND HE DOES GOOD!"
The Verse is Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them
that trust in him."
We Stand On the Threshold of A New Millennium - What can we expect?
The Answer is--we can anticipate a time of sweeping change. Life as we have known it is about to be
drastically rearranged. The Lord said Y2K will be much worse than we know. I was promised that the
prophetic would be given instructions on how to help the people prepare. Also, this time of trouble will
drive the Church to the Lord and to one another. The Lord also rebuked me for the prophetic voices
wasting so much of the time of the Joseph generation. I was given a strong visitation from the Lord
concerning the fact that this lack of preparation was the fault of the sleeping prophetic and was given
Jonah as an example. The prophetic voices have been too timid and have failed to warn the Church of
these coming days. Once again, as in Jonah’s day, the wicked have been used to awaken the
runaway prophet and challenge him to seek his God.
THE CHURCH IS ASLEEP BECAUSE THE PROPHETS HAVE BEEN RUNNING AWAY FROM
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF RELEASING A STRONG MESSAGE!
The Body of Christ is asleep because the prophetic has been asleep. We are guilty of running away
from the responsibility of releasing a strong message. The political spirit and the man-pleasing spirit
have done a good job of robbing the end-time Church of its desperately needed revelation. One main
reason for this lack of awareness is due to the results of the prophetic voice attempting to run away
from the message of judgement. I was shown Jonah, the prophet, as a type of the weak prophetic
voice that was too timid to follow the will of God. It is so sad to see that God had to use a
representative of the world to awaken this rebelling, run away, sleeping prophet. Jonah 1:6: "The
captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call on your god! Maybe he will take
notice of us, and we will not perish." (NIV)
The Prophet's Name Is a Key to His Nature!
The meaning of his name according to Strong’s Concordance #3124 is the Hebrew word Yonah or
Jonah, which means, "dove." This speaks of being gentle. He was a son of Amittai and a native of
Gath-hepher. His father’s name, "Amittay," means "my truth." The place Jonah is from means, "God
ensnares," which speaks of the fact that we cannot run away from God!
The Son of Truth Running Away!
We see the prophetic (the son of the truth, hidden away and asleep - the dove, which speaks of timid,)
running away from the strong message he was called to present. He ran away to Tarshish, which
means, "yellow jasper." Yellow is the color of timidity. It is a city of the Phoenicians in a distant part of
the Mediterranean Sea. Tarshish is more than five hundred miles away, but as Jonah learned, we
can’t run from the All-Seeing Eyes of God. Jonah was about to find out the truth of Psalms 139:1-12:
"O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art
acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it
altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is
too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall
I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold,
thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there
shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me;
even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as
the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee."
The scriptures tell us that Jonah went down to Joppa, which means "beautiful." It is a town on the
southwest coast of Palestine. If you study the path of Jonah, every step away from the will of God was
a step downward. Down to Joppa, down into a ship going down to Tarshish. Then down into the sea,
then down into the belly of a whale. The song penned so many years ago is so true for our day. "Trust
and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey."
Awake O Sleeper
There is a sad situation occurring when the wicked have to awaken the sleeping prophet. The
prophetic allowed the Church to sleep through what I call the "Joseph generation." This was a time of
plenty, when we should have been making provisions for the coming time. It was the role and
responsibility of the true prophetic voice to give insight and understanding during these years of the fat
cows, because we are soon coming to the time of the skinny cows. Yet we played religious politics
and failed to fulfill our role of giving direction and understanding of the times. Now, as never before,
the prophetic mantle must be restored to the Church and the prophetic anointing must flow and
function. The Church will be asked some very hard questions in the days to come and we better have
some straight answers. This is not a time to beat around the bush. We need to know what we believe
and be ready to give an answer. Those who seek The LORD will find HIM and the Spirit of Truth will
release a fresh anointing for the sons of Issachar. These sons of Issachar were men who had
understanding of the times and knew what the Children of God were to be doing. (See 1 Chronicles
12:32) When trumpets are blown, they must make a sure sound. If the army of God is going to be
mobilized, it will be as the prophetic voice begins to sound a clear trumpet call.
You Must Have Ears to Hear the Lord’s Voice
It is most important that you have an open ear to hear what the Spirit is saying. This is one of the most
repeated statements made by the Master - Mark 4:9: "Then Jesus said, "He who has ears to hear, let
him hear." (NIV) Ask the Spirit of God to open your ears to hear Him as never before. This is not a
time to be in the dark. We are called Children of Light. It is a time to walk in the Light as HE IS IN THE
LIGHT. 1 John 1:5-7: "This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in
him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie
and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." (NIV)
It is Time To Walk In the LIGHT
We must walk and work in the Light while we can. Pay close attention to this warning from Jesus. John
12:35-36: "Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while
you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. The man who walks in the dark does not know
where he is going. Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light."
When he had finished speaking, Jesus left and hid himself from them." Paul declares the same
warning in Romans 13:11-14: "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at
hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk
properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." This will be a
time of Light and darkness at the same moment. What will make the difference is our walk with Christ
Jesus. It is imperative that we hear and heed HIS voice and follow HIM, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONLY
ONE WHO KNOWS WHERE WE ARE GOING! John 10:3-5: "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the
sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings
out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they
will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
John 10:27: "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me:"
THE HAND OF THE LORD UPON THE HEADS OF THE PROPHETS!
I was given the example of the hand of the Lord coming upon the heads of the prophets, found in
Ezekiel 8. They are going to be obedient to prophesy as they are commanded . . . this is what will
produce a shaking and an awakening. We can get ready to see the hand of God once again put upon
the head of the prophetic. There is a strong lesson for us to hear and heed in the prophetic experience
recorded in Ezekiel 8:1-18: "In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my
house and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, the hand of the Sovereign LORD came upon
me there." Notice when this experience happened to Ezekiel, it was in the sixth year, in the sixth
month, but on the fifth day. Six is the number of man and five is the number of grace. It is very
encouraging to know that God’s grace is about to come upon the work of man. Again, notice when
this event takes place; as he was sitting in his house and the leadership of Judah had come to see
him. The leaders had set out to seek out the prophetic. This always gets the attention of God. Vs.2: "I
looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man. From what appeared to be his waist down he was like
fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal." (NIV)
The Resurrected Ruling Redeemer!
While staying with Ezekiel 8:2, read the description of the Ruling, Reigning and Resurrected
Redeemer given by John in Revelation 1:12-16. You have to be assured that this is the Lord Jesus.
Look at John’s description of this encounter. "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And
being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like
unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden
girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of
fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of
many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged
sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." Now, let’s return to this prophetic
experience of Ezekiel the prophet. Notice what the Lord did. Vs.3: "He stretched out what looked like
a hand and took me by the hair of my head." It is very important to notice that the Spirit took Ezekiel by
his hair, for hair is always a symbol of man’s strength and glory. "The Spirit lifted me up between earth
and heaven." Again, it is important to notice that the Spirit lifted him up. That is what must happen. The
prophetic must go higher. We must be caught up by the Spirit of the Lord to see the things that He is
revealing. Ezekiel reports that, "in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north
gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood. And there before me was the
glory of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain. Then he said to me, "Son of man,
look toward the north." So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol of
jealousy." (NIV)
What Is This Idol of Jealousy?
In the vision, Ezekiel saw the reproach of Israel - and that was the image of jealousy, set northward, at
the gate of the altar. What this image was is uncertain. God did not tell us for sure what it was, but it
probably was an image of Baal or of the grove that Manasseh made and set in the temple. (See 2
Kings 21:7 & 2 Chronicles 33:3) This idol could be anything that comes between you and your true
devotion to God. Notice where this idol was set up - at the very entrance to the gate. Whatever image
it was, it was very offensive to God and provoked Him to jealousy. He resented it as a husband would
resent the whoredoms of his wife and would certainly take revenge for it; for God is jealous and the
Lord revenges. (See Nahum 1:2) We will do well to remember the warning found in Deuteronomy 5:9:
"for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God," This idolatry was an up front attack against God. Those that
placed this image at the door of the inner gate, where the people assembled, at the very entrance
called "the gate of the altar" (Vs. 5), thereby plainly intended to insult God and to provoke Him to His
face. Placing this idol to be a competitor with Him for the adoration of His people was clearly in
contempt of His Law and in disregard of His Justice. Solomon had warned of such a thing in Proverbs
9:14-16. The adulteress that Solomon describes, that sits at the door of her house, "to call
passengers who go right on their ways: Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither." It is easy to imagine
what dismay and what anguish this brought to Ezekiel to see this image in the house of God. It is time
for judgement to begin at the house of God. (See 1 Peter 4:17)
God Is Going To Continue To Expose Sin
Ezekiel 8:6: "And he said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing-- the utterly detestable
things the house of Israel is doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary?" The Lord is
about to cause covered sins to be exposed. This judgement will start at the very House of God. Vs. 6-
9: "But you will see things that are even more detestable. Then he brought me to the entrance to the
court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. He said to me, "Son of man, now dig into the wall." So I
dug into the wall and saw a doorway there. And he said to me, "Go in and see the wicked and
detestable things they are doing here." God is about to uncover what man has been busy covering up.
Vs. 10-11: "So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things
and detestable animals and all the idols of the house of Israel. In front of them stood seventy elders of
the house of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them." Jaazaniah means
"God hears." His father’s name means "rabbit or one that hides in the earth." These two men
represent a type, which describe that the prophetic intercessors, which were hidden away, were
distracted and side tracked by idolatry and sin. "Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud
of incense was rising." Vs.12: "He said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the
house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol?" The greatest sin that the
people of God were committing was not worshiping idols - it was that they were accusing God in their
hearts. Vs.12: "They say, "The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land." This is why
we must hear the promise of Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good." Vs.13&14: "The Lord said again, "You
will see them doing things that are even more detestable. "Then he brought me to the entrance to the
north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, mourning for Tammuz." Tammuz
was a wicked idol of fertility called the "sprout of life." Vs.15&16: "He said to me, "Do you see this,
son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this. "He then brought me into the
inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and
the altar, were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the LORD and their faces
toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun in the east." There will be in our day the same such
turning away from the True God to the mystical mid-eastern false religion. Vs.17: "He said to me,
"Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the house of Judah to do the detestable
things they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence and continually provoke me to
anger? Look at them putting the branch to their nose!" This deals with an open contempt for God. It is
a mockery of His power and presence. Vs.18: "Therefore I will deal with them in anger; I will not look
on them with pity or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen to them." (NIV) I have a
strong warning from the Lord; He will not tolerate our sins any longer. It is time to repent and turn from
our wicked ways. We must seek His mercy.
A STRONG SHAKING
This is a time when the Spirit of God will awaken the Prophetic Voice to wake up the people. I know
that this coming shaking and awakening will be associated directly with the prophetic. I was given
Ezekiel 37:1-10: "The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD,
and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them
round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he
said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again
he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of
the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you,
and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with
skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. So I prophesied as
I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones
came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them,
and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy
unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the
four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an
exceeding great army."
A Time To Be Awakened - The Church Will Be Shaken Awake!
WE MUST BE ATTUNED TO THESE APOCALYPTIC TIMES WE ARE LIVING IN.
God does not want us to be caught by surprise. It is time to awaken from this sleep that we have been
in. Romans 13:11-14: "And this {do,} knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken
from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the
day is at hand. Let us therefore lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us
behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and
sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the
flesh in regard to {its} lusts." (NAS)
It Is Not A Time To Be Unwise
This Is The Time To Understand What The Will Of The Lord Is
The Apostle Paul gives the Church instruction for these evil last days in Ephesians 5:14-18:
"Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee
light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not
drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;"
A TIME OF LIGHT AND DEEP DARKNESS AT THE MOMENT
Isaiah 60:1-4: "Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise
upon you, and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the
brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to
you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the arms." This will be a time
of light and night at the same moment. (See Isaiah 21:11-12)
The Same Manifesting of God’s Power and Presence will Produce Two Different Results
Exodus 14:19-20: "Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew
and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming
between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one
side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long."
A STRONG WARNING CONCERNING THE FALSE PROPHETIC!
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS TIME - MANY ARE SO DISILLUSIONED AND DISSATISFIED THAT
THEY WILL FOLLOW AFTER ALMOST ANYTHING THAT PROMISES THEM "SOULISH" RELIEF.
BECAUSE OF THIS DESPERATE HUNGER, THE DEVIL WILL DECEIVE MANY BY FALSE
PROPHETS LEADING THEM AWAY.
False prophets will speak to the Soul of Man. False prophecy will say what the mind, will and emotions
of a man wants to hear. This is often a much smoother message than the true prophetic. Plus, many
times it is delivered in a much more palatable manner. People are often more ready to believe a lie
than to hear the TRUTH. 2 Timothy 4:3: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine: but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they
shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." The true Prophetic Voices will
speak to the Spirit of God within Man. Proverbs 20:27: "The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,
searching all the inward parts of the belly." Look at this verse again in the Amplified Bible: "The spirit
of man {that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God} is the lamp of the
Lord, searching all his innermost parts." (Amplified) I thank God that we can claim the promise found
in Psalm 18:28: "For thou will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness."
THE HEAVENS WILL TESTIFY OF THE WORD OF GOD
This year the heavens will declare that this will be an unprecedented time of Light. The true prophetic
will be given power and authority over the elements. It is time for the Church to begin to control the
weather. One example would be found in Joshua 10:12-13: "Joshua said to the Lord in the presence
of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies," (NAS)
A TIME TO LEARN THE NAMES AND NATURE OF GOD
The Theme: GOD IS GOOD!
This is the time to wake up and hear the prophetic message of warning. Just as God warned Nineveh
in the past, He is warning our world today. It is time to seek the Lord until He comes and rains His
righteousness upon us. (Hosea 10:12) Hear the message from the prophet Nahum. Nahum 1:1-8:
"The oracle of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. A jealous and avenging God is
the LORD; the LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, and
He reserves wrath for His enemies. The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will
by no means leave {the guilty} unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, and clouds are the dust
beneath His feet. He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel
wither; the blossoms of Lebanon wither. Mountains quake because of Him, and the hills dissolve;
indeed the earth is up heaved by His presence, the world and all the inhabitants in it. Who can stand
before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath is poured out like fire,
and the rocks are broken up by Him. The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He
knows those who take refuge in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete end of its
site, and will pursue His enemies into darkness." (NAS)
His Name!
Nahum’s name is important in that he had a hard message, yet his spirit was one of comfort. His
name means "comfort." He was an unknown prophet. This is something God is about to do again -
bringing men and women who have not yet been heard from to the front lines with a real message.He
was an "Elkoshite." The name means "God the ensnarer." That reminds us that we must answer to
God. Returning to the Scripture verses of Nahum 1, we can see that God is about to shake much of
what man has been placing his confidence in. The next place the judgement hand of God is seen is
Carmel, which means "garden-land."
The Devil is an Accuser and He is Going to Attempt to Accuse God!
The devil will attempt to accuse God as he did in Genesis 3:1-5. When these judgements come, we
must remember that God has repeatedly warned us, seeking to get His people to turn from sin and
come back to HIM. We must have confidence in the goodness of God. He is a loving Father and He
longs to bless His people. This fact must be deep within our soul -- God is Good!
We Must Have the Message of Nahum 1:7 Deep Within Our Soul
Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble: He knows,
{recognizes, has knowledge of, and understands} those who take refuge and trust in Him."(Amplified)
Please take time to get the following precious promises deep into your spirit. We are going to need to
know the Word of God.
God is Good
Psalm 25:8-11: "Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides
the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant. For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my
iniquity, though it is great." (NIV) This is a time to fill our soul with the Word of God. The promises of
God are true and faithful. God will never mislead His people. Take time to hide the Word of God in
your heart. The scripture states, "Thy WORD have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against
THEE!" This is a time to hide the Word of God in our souls. Psalm 19:7-8: "The Law of the Lord is
perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of
the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes."
Let the High Praises of God Fill Our Hearts -- Let Songs of His Goodness Fill Our Souls
Ezra 3:11: "With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the LORD: "He is good; his love to Israel
endures forever." And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the LORD, because the
foundation of the house of the LORD was laid." (NIV)
Songs Cause Our Hearts to be Filled with Praise for the Lord Jesus "Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus"
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His word, Just to rest upon His promise, Just to
know "Thus saith the Lord."
O how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood, Just in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that He is with me, Will
be with me to the end.
Let Your Praise Be Bold -- Both Visual And Vocal
Psalm 100:1-5: "Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come
before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we
are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his
faithfulness continues through all generations." (NIV) This will be a time of praise and thanksgiving for
the goodness of God. This generation will move to a new level of praise and worship. The angels of
Heaven will join in as we worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Expect to see
manifestations of these divine hosts of Heaven as they join in our worship. (See Luke 2:13-14)
Write Out Your Own Praise To Jesus!

Give Praise To God For His Goodness!
Psalm 136:1-20: "Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good. His love endures forever. Give thanks to
the God of gods. His love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
To him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. Who by His understanding made the
heavens, His love endures forever. Who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures
forever. Who made the great lights-- His love endures forever. The sun to govern the day, His love
endures forever. The moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever. To him who struck
down the firstborn of Egypt, His love endures forever. And brought Israel out from among them, His
love endures forever. With a mighty hand and outstretched arm; His love endures forever. To him who
divided the Red Sea asunder, His love endures forever. And brought Israel through the midst of it, His
love endures forever. But swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea; His love endures forever. To
him who led his people through the desert, His love endures forever. Who struck down great kings,
His love endures forever. And killed mighty kings-- His love endures forever. Sihon king of the
Amorites, His love endures forever. And Og king of Bashan-- His love endures forever." (NIV)
The Lord is A Stronghold
Psalm 18:1-3: "I love you, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies." (NIV) The Lord is a
sure foundation. If we build our life upon Him and His Word, our spiritual house will stand during the
coming storms. (See Matthew 7:24)
As These Days of Change Come Upon Us Remember this Promise!
Psalm 27:5: "For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the
shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock." (NIV)
YOU MUST COMMAND YOUR SOUL TO BE AT PEACE
Psalm 62:5-8: "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and
my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is
my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is
our refuge." "Selah" (NIV)
Because We Are HIS! - We Are SAFE IN HIM
Psalm 91:1-9: "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I
will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save
you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and
under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear
the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the
plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it
will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If
you make the Most High your dwelling--even the LORD, who is my refuge--" (NIV)
NOTHING IMPROVES HEARING THE LORD’S VOICE LIKE INTIMACY
During these days nothing will be more important than hearing the Word of The Lord. Man shall not
live by bread alone, but, man shall live by hearing the Word that comes from the mouth of God. It is my
prayer that you will take time to study this prophetic warning and prepare to encounter God on a new
level. We are in the Kingdom of God for such a time as this; and the Kingdom of God is in us for such
a time as this. This is not a time to draw back or feel defeated. These are going to be the finest hours
for the Body of Christ. Jesus will have a Bride without spot or wrinkle. He will have a powerful
overcoming Church.

DOES THE BIBLE TELL US WHO THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE ???

DOES IT GIVE US ANY CLUES AS TO HIS IDENTITY ??
(A study by John Aggson: Bible researcher)
Are there any Scriptures that give us a geographical location on where he may arise from, or that may possibly identify
his nationality? Well presented in this study are some very interesting passages that seem to indicate these very things!
Check out these two AMAZING portions of Scripture! They even have the SAME EXACT VERSE REFERENCES! (
Another one of God’s little coincidences I’m sure! ) EZEKIEL 39:17-21 and REVELATION 19:17-21. Please observe the
similarity of the terms and the wording used in each:
Ezekiel 39: 17-21
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of
the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice
for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood. 18 Ye
shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of
goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye
be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses
and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD. 21 And I will set my glory among
the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid
upon them.
Revelation 19:17-21
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in
the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may
eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of
them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw THE
BEAST, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on
the horse, and against his army. 20 And THE BEAST was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the
remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth:
and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (Emphasis mine)
BOTH of these areas of Scripture speak of a FINAL GREAT ENDTIME BATTLE in which the armies of
God’s enemies are DESTROYED, and FALL on the hillsides of Israel, and are DEVOURED and EATEN by
the VULTURES AND BIRDS OF CARRION! These two portions of Scripture read almost WORD FOR
WORD in some places, and it certainly appears that they are speaking of the SAME EVENT! Unless, of
course, there are TWO DIFFERENT BATTLES in the endtime, where TWO DIFFERENT ARMIES come
against Israel and fall on the hillsides and are eaten by the birds! But an in depth study of the Scriptures
seems to point to only ONE! Therefore these two areas of Scripture are MOST LIKELY describing the SAME
BATTLE… ARMAGEDDON!
REVELATION 19:17-21 says that this is the ARMY OF THE BEAST or ANTICHRIST which is destroyed,
and EZEKIEL 39:17-21 says that this is the ARMY OF GOG; THE CHIEF PRINCE OF MESHECH AND
TUBAL which is destroyed! IS THE ANTICHRIST THEREFORE GOG? WHOEVER GOG IS? If A = B, and
B = C, then A = C…RIGHT?? BOTH are portrayed, in these separate areas of Scripture, as the MAIN
LEADER or HEAD over these coalition forces! Why would the Lord depict TWO DIFFERENT LEADERS of
what APPEARS to be the SAME BATTLE? They are VERY LIKELY the SAME PERSON! It certainly
warrants our study and observation anyway; as students of ENDTIME PROPHECY!
There is even a verse that SOUNDS like the Lord is IDENTIFYING this prince AS the ANTICHRIST, who
was spoken of by the prophets of old as coming against His people in the endtime! Ezekiel 38: 17. ("Art thou
HE of whom I have spoken?")
Ezekiel 38:17
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the
prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against
them?
This "HE" sounds like the Lord is trying to IDENTIFY this person to us as a SPECIAL PERSON! From the
TONE of this verse, it sounds as if this person occupies a MUCH MORE SPECIAL PLACE in the Scriptures
than just an ORDINARY KING, like King Nebuchadnezzar, or Cyrus of old. MANY kings have "come
against" Israel down through history! This infers that there is something unique, special, and SINGULAR
that applies to this ONE KING ALONE! What could that be? Well, it’s very possible that the Lord has
worded this Scripture this way to indicate to us that this person may be the GREAT ONE who has been
given the SPECIAL CHARGE of COMING AGAINST GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE ENDTIME!!! THE
ANTICHRIST!!! Which has been foretold by the "Prophets of old" like Daniel, and Isaiah, and Ezekiel here,
as well as John the Revelator and others.
Are MESHECH & TUBAL therefore, the ANTICHRIST’S HOMELAND, and HIS COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OR
NATIONALITY? If not, then why is his name even mentioned in the Bible, and not only ONCE, but TWICE?
(In Ezekiel 38 and then again in 39) A full reading of Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39 are recommended to fully
understand this; with emphasis on 38:1-9, and 39: 1-5.
Ezekiel 38:1-9
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the
land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 3 And say,
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and
Tubal: 4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all
thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great
company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya
with them; all of them with shield and helmet: 6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of
Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7 Be thou
prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be
thou a guard unto them. 8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt
come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people,
against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the
nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. 9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou
shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Ezekiel 39:1-5
Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn thee back, and
leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will
bring thee upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will
cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand. 4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel,
thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds
of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field:
for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Who is GOG? And who are MESHECH & TUBAL? According to Halley’s Bible Handbook, the 23rd edition,
pages 305 & 306, they are thought by many historians to be MODERN RUSSIA; and Meshech is thought to
mean MOSCOW, while Tubal is thought to mean the city of TOBOLSK; a Siberian city in Russia! Magog,
Meshech, and Tubal were Grandsons of Noah, and sons of Japeth who migrated to the FAR NORTH. Their
people were even called THE ROSH! (Roshians, or Russians!? ) You can find this name "Rosh" used in some
translations of the Bible, (such as the New King James version - Ezekiel 38: 2, and 39: 1) as well as in the
writings of Antiquity by ancient historians such as Flavius Josephus, who was a leading historian among the
Jews of Jesus’ day.
The traditional view held for years, because of the prophecy of Daniel 7, was that the Antichrist would arise
out of a REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE! In this chapter it states that he arises -AMONG- the TEN HORNS (or
world leaders) which according to REVELATION 17:12 do not arise until the VERY END of world history.
Let’s take a look at these verses:
Daniel 7:7,8,23,24
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong
exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue
with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up AMONG THEM another little horn, before
whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were
eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
(emphasis mine) (he comes up AMONG THEM)
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the FOURTH KINGDOM UPON EARTH, which shall
be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and
break it in pieces. (emphasis mine)
(As we know from history, this "fourth beast" was the ROMAN EMPIRE!) (It did just what it says here, and
devoured the whole earth and trod it down and broke it up into pieces or Roman provinces.) (The "iron
teeth" are even symbolic of the IRON RULE of Rome.)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise
after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Revelation 17:12
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet;
but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
(Here, from this verse in Revelation, you can see that the 10 horns do not come on the scene until at the
VERY END of world history, RIGHT BEFORE the BEAST or ANTICHRIST ARISES!) (They rule with him for
a very short time, indicated by the Biblical terminology of "one hour!") (Daniel 7: 24, right before this verse,
indicates that he arises AFTER the ten kings, and "subdues" three of them.)
Since this "little horn" arises AMONG the 10 horns of what most Biblical scholars believe is the REVIVED
ROMAN EMPIRE, everyone has always just ASSUMED that this "Beast," or "Antichrist" would be a
GREAT EUROPEAN LEADER, like a German, or Juan Carlos or one of the Hapsburgs of Austria, or even
lately Prince Charles.
Everyone just AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMES that the REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE IS EUROPE! But
DANIEL CHAPTER 2 reminds us that ROME once ruled the whole known world. IT THEN SPLIT IN TWO,
(symbolic of the TWO LEGS OF IRON in Daniel 2) and there was EAST ROME, ran out of Constantinople
and WEST ROME, ran out of the city of Rome. West Rome followed CATHOLOCISM, while East Rome
followed the ORTHODOX religious line. They are the same basic religion started by Constantine. The
RUSSIANS became followers of the ORTHODOX line, until Lenin and Stalin came along and tried to wipe
them out.
It is interesting to note that both the leaders of Germany, (Greater West Rome) AND RUSSIA, (Greater East
Rome) were called CAESAR! KAISER (as in Kaiser Wilhelm) and CSAR (as in Csar Nicholas) both mean
CAESAR! Does this fit with the BEAST that was and is not and yet is? BOTH continued on in the traditions
of Rome, even calling their leaders CAESAR!
My point here is that RUSSIA could ALSO fit in the scenario of a REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE, if the
remnants of both EAST-AND- WEST ROME, (The two legs) (one Catholic, and the other Orthodox) are
considered in this picture! She even called her leaders CAESAR, or CSAR! Few people seem to consider that
the Antichrist could arise out of the EASTERN ROMAN LINE!? Granted, modern Russia was not as far
NORTH in those days as it is now. Back then they were still in the Caucuses. They migrated further north in
the 1100’s, but were still part of GREATER BYZANTIUM or EAST ROME, as can be observed by their
adoption of the ORTHODOX religion.
The following verses from DANIEL chapter 8 indicate that the Antichrist will rise out of ONE of the FOUR
KINGDOMS that ALEXANDER THE GREAT’S empire broke up into after his death:
Daniel 8:8,9
8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken;
and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. 9 And out of one of them
came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east,
and toward the pleasant land.
Daniel 8:21-25
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the
first king. 22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up
out of the nation, but not in his power.23And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the
transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up. 24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he
shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the
holy people. 25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he
shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against
the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
(Upon Alexander’s death, his top four generals divided the whole world up into four sections according to
the directions NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, & WEST, on the map.) (It says here that the Antichrist; the "King of
fierce countenance" shall arise out of ONE of these in the latter or END TIME!)
Then AGAIN in DANIEL chapter 11 it talks about this same break up of Alexander’s empire, and even
identifies -WHICH- of the four kingdoms the Antichrist arises out of. (DANIEL 11:1-21, with special
emphasis on verse 21) It indicates that the Antichrist arises out of the empire of the KING OF THE NORTH!
Daniel 11:2-4
2 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and
the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up
all against the realm of Grecia. 3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great
dominion, and do according to his will. 4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be
broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor
according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others
beside those.
Daniel 11:15,21
15 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and
the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any
strength to withstand. 21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not
give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by
flatteries.
(This VILE PERSON is the ANTICHRIST!!!)
Back in the days when this prophecy was given, the ROSH, or the people of MAGOG, (Meshech & Tubal)
lived in THIS KINGDOM; the NORTHERN KINGDOM! They then even migrated further NORTH. So as you
can see, all of these prophecies regarding the Antichrist and the geographical location of his homeland can
certainly FIT into the scenario of him being GOG, the CHIEF PRINCE OF MOSCOW!
It is certainly something we should keep our eyes on anyway, as the idea of a WEST EUROPEAN
ANTICHRIST does NOT fit with the prophecy of GOG & MAGOG in Ezekiel 38 & 39. (UNLESS GOG is
just some kind of GREAT MILITARY LEADER who is USED by the Antichrist as sort of the HEAD of a
WORLD POLICE FORCE like the UN, or an east-block coalition) But if this were the case, I would think
that the antichrist would be at least MENTIONED in Ezekiel 38 & 39.
There is NO MENTION of any other GREATER LEADER here! Only GOG; who is identified as the
RINGLEADER of this great coalition force, which sounds more like an EAST BLOCK-ARAB coalition than a
UN force, by the nations named in (Ez 38:5,6.) ALSO, the idea of a EUROPEAN ANTICHRIST from the
West Roman line does not fit as well with the very important prophecies of DANIEL chapters 8 & 11 either;
(of coming out of one of the four Kingdoms of Alexander) (And in specific the King of the North) but a
GREAT NORTHERN RUSSIAN LEADER DOES!
Some Bible prophecy teachers think that Ezekiel 38 & 39 most definitely portray Russia coming against
America and Israel, but that they have NOTHING to do with the ANTICHRIST! They believe that Russia
simply comes against America and Israel, and that there is a great war, and they destroy us, and we destroy
them; and THEN the Antichrist arises out of Western Europe and rules the world for either 3 ½ or 7 more
years AFTER THIS! They do not believe that Russia has anything to do with the Antichrist at all.
Most of the people who hold to this view believe that the Antichrist cannot rise until Russia and America
DESTROY eachother, as we are both too powerful for him to arise until we are gone, and no longer a threat
to world domination. But if I am correct about the first two sets of Scriptures in this study, then they prove
that this cannot be the case; as they DIRECTLY LINK GOG, of Ezekiel 38 & 39, to the BEAST OR
ANTICHRIST of Revelation 19. There cannot be two separate leaders of this same battle! And it’s VERY
LIKELY the SAME BATTLE, as there do not appear to be TWO SEPARATE TIMES in the Scriptures where
armies come against Israel, and fall on the hillsides and are eaten by the birds! Therefore they MUST be
speaking of the same battle, and hence, the same LEADER! THE ANTICHRIST!!!
Some Bible teachers believe that the Antichrist will be an AMERICAN, or the PRESIDENT of modern
"Babylon the Great" -AMERICA! But, if indeed America actually IS "Babylon the Great," then this scenario
does not make much sense if you take a look at what the following verses say:
Revelation 17:16-18
16 AND THE TEN HORNS WHICH THOU SAWEST UPON THE BEAST, THESE SHALL HATE
THE WHORE, AND SHALL MAKE HER DESOLATE AND NAKED AND SHALL EAT HER
FLESH, AND BURN HER WITH FIRE. 17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and
to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. 18 And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
(emphasis mine)
It says here that the BEAST & HIS TEN KINGS HATE THE WHORE (modern Babylon) and BURN HER
WITH FIRE! Why would the Antichrist burn up his own kingdom? Observe the following Scriptures also:
Revelation 18:8,9,19
8 Therefore shall her plagues come in ONE DAY, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall
be UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 9 And the kings
of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and
lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 19 And they cast dust on their
heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich
all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for IN ONE HOUR IS SHE MADE
DESOLATE. (emphasis mine)
It says here that Babylon is UTTERLY BURNED WITH FIRE IN ONE HOUR! If America is "Babylon the
Great," then this is very possibly describing the coming NUCLEAR WAR! Considering all of our modern
technology and weaponry; nuclear war would be the most likely cause of the BURNING of such a LARGE
AREA in such a SHORT PERIOD OF TIME! But if the Antichrist is the leader of America, then WHY
WOULD THE ANTICHRIST NUKE HIMSELF AND HIS OWN COUNTRY? This does not fit as a credible
doctrine!
According to the visions of Dimitru Duduman and Henry Gruver; (both Holy Spirit filled Ministers with the
gifts of prophecy and of receiving visions) IT IS THE RUSSIANS who attack AMERICA shortly in a
NUCLEAR FIRST STRIKE! Back in the mid to late 1980’s, both of these men were taken up in the Spirit;
high above the earth, by the Lord’s Angel; and shown THE ENTIRE PANORAMA OF THE COMING
NUCLEAR WAR AND DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA BY RUSSIAN SUBMARINES!
The Lord then told them both to GO AND GIVE AMERICA THIS WARNING MESSAGE OF COMING
JUDGMENT! The Lord even told Dimitru in prophecy that America was indeed "Babylon the Great," and
even went into detail as to WHY He calls it that. (Their addresses will be given at the end of this study if you
would like to contact their ministries personally for more information on these INCREDIBLE visions.)
Dimitru Duduman was a MARINE OFFICER in the SOVIET ARMED FORCES of the U.S.S.R. who helped
BROTHER ANDREW smuggle over 300,000 Bibles into the former Soviet Union over a period of 15 years.
He was caught and tortured terribly, but the Lord delivered him and brought him to America to warn this
nation and then gave him this AWESOME VISION!
Henry Gruver is an American Evangelist who was a pioneer in the SPIRITUAL WARFARE movement,
where brethren walk up and down the length and breadth of different cities and areas praying in the Spirit
and casting down strongholds of the enemy, and loosing the Lord’s Angels to work. Henry was in Wales, on
the top of the Caernarvon Castle, when the Lord took him high in the air, and gave him this same
AWESOME VISION!
The Lord even showed him the entire panorama of the coming huge sea blockades of both the Pacific and
Atlantic by the GIANT SOVIET BATTLE FLOTILLAS, and the subsequent surfacing of the submarines and
launching of their missles!! He and Dimitru saw the same basic cities vaporize in NUCLEAR FIREBALLS!
(New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Miami, among others.)
In his book, "The Next Domino?," General Sir Walter Walker of NATO has added GREAT CREDENCE to
Henry’s vision, by stating that the above scenario is INDEED an ACTUAL PLAN that the RUSSIANS HAVE
HAD FOR OVER TWO DECADES NOW, and is the MOST LIKELY SCENARIO THAT THEY WILL
FOLLOW when they begin their LAST GREAT CONQUEST FOR WORLD DOMINATION and the
DESTRUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! He even verifies the concept of the SEA
BLOCKADES and the SAME ACTUAL PATHS THAT HENRY SAW THE SOVIET BATTLE FLOTILLA’S
TAKE!
Also, much of what Henry now teaches on this subject, since he had this amazing vision, concerns
revelations the Lord has given him about Ezekiel 38 & 39 describing not only the invasion of tiny Israel; but
the United States of America too! Specifically where it speaks of Gog coming against the land of
UNWALLED VILLAGES, having neither BARS NOR GATES, where the people DWELL WITHOUT CARE!
That more correctly describes modern America; not Israel, where the people still live in great fear of Arab
attacks and also have bars on their gates and windows!
So these visions of Henry and Dimitru certainly fit more with a GREAT RUSSIAN LEADER than an
AMERICAN or EUROPEAN as the head of this great invading force of Ezekiel 38 & 39! In fact in some of
Dimitru’s visions he EVEN SEES the LEADER OF RUSSIA plotting the INVASION OF AMERICA with
other eastern leaders, and then stating that he could now do WHATEVER HE PLEASED WITH EUROPE!
(The 10 Kings?) (OR…will the 10 Kings come from the nations listed in Ezekiel 38: 5,6 that join forces with
Gog in the end ?)
PERSIA, (modern Iran, Iraq, and Syria) ETHIOPIA, LIBYA, GOMER and all his bands, (Germany and it’s
allies) TOGARMAH and all his bands, (Turkey and surrounding Slavic & Muslim nations?) That’s just
something to think about!? They are mentioned there for a reason. And the counties listed there are for the
most part certainly siding with Russia right now today against us! It wouldn’t take much for Germany and
Turkey to go along with the others, especially if the American economy crashes, and a Russian superman, or
one of "near lineage" steps in to offer an ECONOMIC SOLUTION!
Look at Libya NAMED BY NAME 3,000 years ago as siding with Russia! Remember Ghaddafy’s 12 Billion
dollar ARMS DEAL with Russia back in the 70’s? (The largest arms deal of the time!) There might not be 10
nations specifically mentioned here, but perhaps the phrase "all his bands," accounts for the rest of them!?
If the Antichrist himself doesn’t actually come out of Western Europe, then maybe the 10 kings don’t either.
(at least, not ALL of them) If the two legs of ancient Rome are taken into account here, then the 10 kings
could just as easily arise out of the remnants of EAST Rome, or the former Byzantine Empire. Many of the
nations mentioned in Ezekiel 38: 5 & 6 are indeed located in this area.
But perhaps the 10 kings DO come from Western Europe and it’s "black nobility" families and rulers such as
the Hapsburgs and others. Some of these families can supposedly trace their lineage clear back to the days
of Rome! They are certainly the "wealthy elite," who are FINANCIALLY CAPABLE of such a feat, and who
most certainly do have plans for WORLD DOMINATION! Perhaps if the American economy crashes soon,
they will RALLY behind a great leader from much closer to home…maybe even a "Prince of Magog," such
as the CHIEF PRINCE OF MESHECH!?
Texe Marrs, of LIVING TRUTH MINISTRIES, has done some of the most exhaustive background work that
I have seen on these "black nobility" families of Europe. His ministry is highly recommended at the end of
this study. To learn more about all this, please order his book, "CIRCLE OF INTRIGUE!"
Interestingly enough, there IS a "Chief Prince of Meshech" living right out in the PRESIDIO right now in
San Francisco! Mikail Gorbachev! He even has his own 501c 3 (tax exempt status) for his very own
GORVACHEV FOUNDATION! Wouldn’t it be interesting if he were to suddenly emerge as a GREAT
UNITED NATIONS LEADER!? That would not make him the ANTICHRIST, as from the Scriptures in
Daniel 11, it appears that the Antichrist may be the THIRD person to rise out of the Kingdom of the North.
(The VILE PERSON!) But it could make him the FIRST!? This is certainly something we should keep our
eyes on anyway, and be watching closely! It speaks of the FIRST King of the North, followed by one who is a
RAISER OF TAXES, followed by the VILE PERSON who comes in "peaceably," and obtains the Kingdom by
"flatteries."
As concerning whether or not America is actually "BABYLON THE GREAT" spoken of in Revelation
chapters 17 & 18; here is some pretty strong evidence that supports this view: ( A full and careful reading of
these chapters is necessary to completely understand this, but here are the main verses that seem to indicate
this…)
Revelation 17:1-5
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying
unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the GREAT WHORE that sitteth
upon many waters: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried
me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a WOMAN SIT UPON A SCARLET
COLOURED BEAST, FULL OF NAMES OF BLASPHEMY, HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND TEN
HORNS. 4 And the WOMAN was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (emphasis mine,
except for verse 5 which is capitalized in the King James)
Revelation 17:18
18 And the WOMAN which thou sawest IS THAT GREAT CITY, WHICH REIGNETH OVER THE
KINGS OF THE EARTH. (emphasis mine)
As you can see from the above; verses 1 and 5 indentify this WOMAN as THE GREAT WHORE, and
BABYLON THE GREAT! Then verse 18 makes it plain that this WOMAN -IS- that -GREAT CITY- which
REIGNS OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH! (It says that SHE IS A C-I-T-Y!) (A GREAT CITY!) (And that
the KINGS of OTHER NATIONS are even RULED OVER from this GREAT CITY!) WHO ELSE COULD
THIS BE SPEAKING OF IN OUR MODERN WORLD BUT NEW YORK CITY?? This is the SEAT of the
FEDERAL RESERVE, and the BIG BANKERS who loan out BILLIONS to the KINGS OF ALL THE OTHER
NATIONS IN THE WORLD, in return of course for their "obeisance!" By this means they literally RULE
OVER THEM! The "borrower" becomes servant to the lender, as the Bible says!
This LOANING of such HUGE SUMS OF MONEY to other nations and kings does not happen ANYWHERE
ELSE IN THE WORLD, from ANY of the world’s other great financial centers, in the CAPACITY or
VOLUME that it does from NEW YORK! And most of those loans that ARE given out, from other areas of
the world, are DIRECTLY TIED to aid or loans that INITIALLY CAME FROM NEW YORK to start with, or
from banks that are connected in some way to the banks in New York!
Our DOLLAR is the STANDARD CURRENCY that all other currencies in the WORLD are measured against!
Our STOCK MARKET is the BASTION for the stock markets of the world, that they all depend upon and are
supported by! The WHOLE CONCEPT of STOCK MARKETS and CURRENCY EXCHANGE and all this
TRADE and COMMERCE came PRIMARILY from the BIG NEW YORK BANKS back in the late 1800’s!
Even though big European Bankers were involved, the major vehicle they used for setting up their "spider’s
web" of financial markets and trading and commerce WORLDWIDE were the LARGE NEW YORK BANKS!
It all seemed to EMANATE from New York and to INFECT the WHOLE WORLD! As the Scriptures below,
which I will present shortly in this study will point out; "by her sorceries were all nations DECEIVED," and
"ALL NATIONS have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her FORNICATION!" This is the means by which
the RICH ELITISTS have set themselves up to ROB the NATIONS OF THE WORLD of their WEALTH AND
GOODS through CRIMINAL PRACTICES like FRACTIONAL RESERVE BANKING, and MANIPULATION
OF THE WORLD’S MARKETS! (Pushing people into buying or selling certain stocks at certain times that
favor the rich!!!)
They "deceive" people in their business deals, and take the LION’S SHARE and give the poor victim the
"short end of the stick!" Quite simply; over time, THEY end up with all the GOODIES, and the poor of the
world end up holding an empty bag with HOLES in the bottom…robbed of all that their nation had of value!
This MAY be why they all end up HATING the whore, and BURN HER WITH FIRE IN ONE HOUR, as it
says in Revelation 18!
A very simplistic explanation of how "fractional reserve banking" works is this: The Fed Reserve prints up a
set amount of money to loan out. The bankers loan it out with INTEREST to be paid when the loan is paid
back. The borrower puts up property or valuable goods for collateral against this loan. After this is repeated
to many different "borrowers" there is never enough money in circulation to PAY BACK THE INTEREST!
The Fed Reserve only printed a CERTAIN SET AMOUNT OF MONEY; they did NOT print enough to cover
PAYING BACK THE INTEREST! So some POOR FOOL out there gets stuck not being able to come up with
the cash to pay back the INTEREST on his loan…so he loses his LAND, or PROPERTY or GOODS, or
WHATEVER HE PUT UP AS COLLATERAL! It’s a bit like playing "musical chairs!" Somebody always gets
LEFT OUT! The goal of these "insiders" and rich men is to finally end up with it ALL, and the rest of the
world on their knees in serfdom!
Also, they only have to keep on hand a FRACTION of what they loan out, IN RESERVE! They can give loans
out to MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE OR COMPANIES, off of this SAME AMOUNT of CAPITAL that THEY
HAVE IN RESERVE! They can then earn ALL THAT MULTIPLIED INTEREST, from ALL THOSE
PEOPLE; because what they’ve loaned out is MOSTLY ONLY CREDIT ON PAPER ANYWAY! This even
increases the chances of more than one person or company defaulting at a time! So they are raking in
HUGE amounts of profit from the INTEREST off of the same small, or "fractional reserve" amount, as well
as many times over, the real estate and goods and machinery, or anything of value, that has been put up for
collateral by those who are forced to DEFAULT on their loans!
If you are having any trouble believing this, just look at what has happened to the American farmer, and the
ENORMOUS number of PUBLIC AUCTIONS of their equipment and foreclosures on their land! Look at the
number of SMALL BUSINESSES that seem to come and go at such a high rate!
WHOLE NATIONS are now bowing to the IMF and world bankers and begging them to come in and "save"
their businesses and economies with even MORE loans! (Such as the recent Asian fiasco!) When they
ultimately DEFAULT on these loans; who will own the vast majority of their LAND, and REAL ESTATE,
and VALUABLE RESOURCES, and anything they put up as collateral??? It is a very clever system that is
ultimately designed to put the vast majority of the World’s wealth in the hands of a very few!
There is much more too it than the simplistic little explanation above, of course; and there are many
"levers" and "trigger mechanisms" that they use to control these things, such as raising and lowering
interest rates and buying or dumping certain stocks at certain times; or even putting out WARNINGS of
such intent in the media! But what I have mentioned above is the BASIC PRINCIPLE of what they are
doing.
New York is not the only city in America involved in this. But it is the MAJOR CITY that this whole
BANKING FIASCO IS RAN FROM! It extends, of course, to OTHER major American cities as well! Look at
New York’s SISTER CITIES, and "partners in crime" like L.A. and other major centers of finance that are
dependant primarily on the BIG NEW YORK BANKS!?
Like giant "tentacles from an octopus" the New York banks spread out their centers of finance in the late
1800’s, to other cities in America; primarily PORT CITIES, where commerce with other nations could be
carried on by shipping lines! Revelation 18: 18 & 19 tell of the wealth that has been amassed by the great
SHIPPING COMPANIES, and those that ship by sea, who stand afar off weeping when this great city; the
source of their wealth, is destroyed!
Revelation 18:18,19
18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great
city! 19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that
great city, WHEREIN WERE MADE RICH ALL THAT HAD SHIPS IN THE SEA by reason of her
costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. (emphasis mine)
What other nation could this be BUT America? Most of the great shipping companies in the world today
were made RICH by the commerce and trafficking to and from American ports!
Over and over in Revelation 18 it speaks of the MERCHANTS, or BIG BUSINESSMEN who were made
RICH by this GREAT CITY! From the description of Babylon’s activities in this chapter, it is evident that
BABYLON THE GREAT, exists solely for the purpose of THE BUYING AND SELLING OF GOODS! This is
an obvious description of our great FREE ENTERPRIZE SYSTEM!
It even says that her MERCHANTS, or BIG BUSINESSMEN are the GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH, and
that they RULE over the KINGS OF OTHER NATIONS! Does this sound like the Rockefellers, and other
leading businessmen and bankers who so freely travel the world, making their secret business deals; bound
by neither capitalist or communist borders or ideologies?
Remember during the days of the cold war when the Rockefellers and Armand Hammer visited the Soviet
Union to privately discuss things with the leaders of that great communist empire? (Or was it to give
orders?) I noticed that Nikita Kruchev "stepped down" right after the Rockefeller visit! Was he FIRED?
They seem not to be bound by any restrictions or borders, and can freely travel and make their deals without
concern for the normal sanctions that would prevent others of us from doing so. Look at how Nixon and
Kissinger visited Red China and made all those deals. The Communist leaders seem to have no problem
doing business with them, and even seem to TAKE ORDERS FROM THEM! Certainly the third world
nations come almost on a weekly basis, to bow at their feet and ask for aide. These great merchants or
businessmen are indeed THE GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH, who literally REIGN or RULE over the KINGS
OF OTHER NATIONS!
Revelation 18:3 (emphasis mine in all CAPS below)
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the KINGS of the
earth have committed fornication with her, and the MERCHANTS of the earth are waxed rich
through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation 18:9-11
9 And the KINGS of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her,
shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10 Standing
afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
for in one hour is thy judgment come. 11 And the MERCHANTS of the earth shall weep and
mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Revelation 18:15-19
15 The MERCHANTS of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the
fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was
clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and
pearls! 17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the
company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, 18 And cried when
they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! 19 And they cast
dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, sea
WHEREIN WERE MADE RICH ALL THAT HAD SHIPS IN THE SEA by reason of her costliness!
for in one hour is she made desolate.
Revelation 18:23
23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom
and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for THY MERCHANTS WERE THE GREAT
MEN OF THE EARTH; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
What other nation on the face of the earth can this be talking about? Who else has merchants who are the
GREAT MEN OF THE EARTH? Sure there are men of other nationalities involved in this, such as the
Rothschilds of Europe, the Warburgs, and others. It is a CABAL of the "rich elite" from both Europe AND
America! But the primary vehicle they have used for this WORLDWIDE DOMINATION is AMERICA; and in
specific, NEW YORK CITY, and her SISTER CITIES and CENTERS OF COMMERCE! The FEDERAL
RESERVE is NOT a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY! It is a PRIVATE CORPORATION that is owned
by these RICH ELITISTS; with half of the Class A stockholders being WEALTHY EUROPEANS! Yet it is
LOCATED IN NEW YORK, and RUNS OUR ENTIRE ECONOMY AND MONEY SYSTEM!
Look in the PHONE BOOK under GOVERNMENT AGENCIES!? You will not find it listed! Instead, you will
find it listed with normal businesses! That is because IT IS NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY! It is WORDED
that way to DECEIVE PEOPLE into THINKING that it is a Government agency! It sounds SO OFFICIAL;
and SO FEDERAL! If people knew the TRUTH about it, and how it is OWNED and RAN by VERY
WEALTHY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS; some of which AREN’T EVEN AMERICAN; and how they are
MILKING US LIKE COWS, and SHEERING US LIKE SHEEP, they would be in ABSOLUTE SHOCK!!!
It says that by their SORCERIES were all nations DECEIVED! Many of these elitists and Rich men are into
Satanism and witchcraft, although they call it Luciferianism, and believe that Lucifer is good. Many of them
make their business deals through these Satanic means! Their GREED has caused most of the poverty and
problems in the world! It is a known fact that most of the FAMINES we have in the world today are the
result of this deception and greed; of robbing the poor of the world in their business dealings as it says of the
RICH MEN in James chapter 5, who have heaped together treasures for the last days:
James 5:1-8
Go to now, YE RICH MEN, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. 2 Your
riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and
the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. YE HAVE
HEAPED TREASURE TOGETHER FOR THE LAST DAYS. 4 Behold, the HIRE OF THE
LABOURERS who have reaped down your fields, WHICH IS OF YOU KEPT BACK BY FRAUD,
crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 YE HAVE LIVED IN PLEASURE ON THE EARTH, AND BEEN WANTON; YE HAVE
NOURISHED YOUR HEARTS, AS IN A DAY OF SLAUGHTER. 6 Ye have condemned and killed
the just; and he doth not resist you. 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.
Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it,
until he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming
of the Lord draweth nigh.. (emphasis mine)
They have been the creators of NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO; which are making use of slave labor, prison
labor, and the "sweat shops" of the world! Perhaps NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO are the WOMAN
attempting to saddle herself onto the back of the 7th head of the BEAST in Revelation 17, and it is about to
turn on her and DEVOUR her with FIRE in ONE HOUR! This great RED (or "Communist") BEAST in
Revelation HATES THE WHORE and TURNS ON HER! She was RIDING him up until this time! Perhaps the
dog is about to turn on it’s master!?
Some will argue that the GREAT CITY is ROME; Because of the description of her occupying 7 mountains
like Rome sits on geographically:
Revelation 17:9,10
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the
woman sitteth. 10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen and one is, and the other is not yet
come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
But if you read the entire context of these verses, with other areas of Scripture; mountains are symbolic of
KINGDOMS in the Bible. And as it indicates here, each mountain had a KING! (or a kingship or SEAT of
rule) (like the dynasty of the Caesars) This helps to understand the TIME that elapses between the days of
ancient Rome and the "revival" of Rome in the last days under the Antichrist and ten kings. Five are fallen,
meant that they were kings, or dynasties, of kingdoms who have passed away! (Assyria, Egypt, Babylon,
Medo Persia, and Greece) ONE IS; referred to the dynasty of the CAESARS and ROME! And the OTHER IS
NOT YET COME, refers to the Antichrist who comes in the endtime.
These verses indicate that this "woman" has been around in each of these kingdoms down through history,
"playing the harlot," and robbing the poor, actually RULING over the kings and leaders of the nations of
their day from behind the scenes, by riding on their back, and riding them like a horse to perform their will!
This is why the "woman" is portrayed as RIDING on the back of the beast in Revelation 17: 3.
This goes right along with the writings of the Illuminati, who as David J. Smith pointed out, can trace their
movement for world domination clear back to the THRONE ROOMS OF EGYPT! They’ve been working to
establish their kingdom on earth for thousands of years! If you wish to learn more about the sinister
teachings of these rich elitists who believe that Lucifer is the good God, then contact David at the address
on the back of this study. (Also Texe Marrs, points out in his book "Circle of Intrigue" how these "black
nobility" families of Europe can trace their lineage clear back to the days of Rome!)
But Rome WAS at one time the "Babylon the Great" of it’s day! But as world conditions changed down
through time, these men have moved their financial ruling capital to accommodate the changes in world
history! At one time AMSTERDAM was this capital; at one time PARIS, at another LONDON, and now
FINALLY…THE EPITOMIE OF THEM ALL…NEW YORK CITY!!!
New York has become the FINAL LAST DAYS BASTION OF WORLD COMMERCE and WORLD
FINANCIAL DOMINATION! You may think the Japanese are! But WE MADE them what they are; and
without New York; Tokyo would collapse! New York banks went in after the destruction of Japan in World
War Two, and helped them to build the Babylon they presently have! And they are actually the CREATION
of the NEW YORK BANKERS and "tool" in their hands, with which they dominate and rule all the financial
markets in ASIA!
We have just recently watched the Asian markets and peoples get the "short end of the stick" from the rich
elite who rule behind the scenes! And they are not done with them yet; or us here in America, or the rest of
the world. They are about to try to install themselves into the seat of TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION, as
they attempt to saddle themselves onto the back of the great and final ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT and
NEW WORLD ORDER OF THE END! (with NAFTA, GATT, and the WTO) But the RUSKIES may have
other plans! We shall soon see! But anyway, hopefully you can see by the above verses and the explanations
which follow them, why many of us who study Bible prophecy believe that America is "Babylon the Great"
spoken of here.
Even the Statue of Liberty itself is a SIGN! I believe that it is a MARKING SIGN put there by God to
IDENTIFY just WHO BABYLON THE GREAT IS! Why wasn’t this statue put on DRY LAND like every other
statue in the world? There is a reason! Could it be because God CAUSED them to do this, unbeknownst to
them, to give us a "marking sign" of who the WOMAN in Revelation 17: 15 is?
Revelation 17:15
15 And he saith unto me, The WATERS WHICH THOU SAWEST, WHERE THE WHORE
SITTETH, ARE PEOPLES, AND MULTITUDES, AND NATIONS, AND TONGUES. (emphasis
mine)
This pictures the WOMAN out on the WATER, which it says symbolizes PEOPLES, MULTITUDES,
NATIONS, AND TONGUES! Could this be symbolic of ELLIS ISLAND? And the multitudes that came
through there from different nations, speaking different languages? It’s certainly something to think about!
Look at the huge "BABYLON THE GREAT" that these people have BUILT there; and the huge "TOWERS
OF BABEL" that they have created there! (All the modern towers and skyscrapers!) New York LED THE
WORLD in this "TOWER BUILDING!" Perhaps this is the REASON that God actually CALLS it "BABYLON
THE GREAT" in the FIRST PLACE!? Because of ALL THIS TOWER BUILDING TO THE HEAVENS, which
the original builders of the Tower of Babel tried to do in the days of old!?
Why do they now actually -CALL- New York City, or PARTS of New York City, "BABYLON?" OR,
"BABYLON ON THE HUDSON?" Or, the "CITY OF BABYLON?" Just a coincidence!? Or did God actually
CAUSE them to do this, unbeknownst to them? If you GO THERE for any reason, you will real quickly
notice that it sure SOUNDS like the TOWER OF BABEL of old, with all the CONFUSION OF
LANGUAGES the people are speaking there now! Just try talking to a cab driver, or ask someone on the
street for directions!?
Sure, there are other cities in the world that now RIVAL New York with their skyscrapers and towers; but
they are all COPYING New York! That’s where they got the IDEA FROM! From Babylon - "THE GREAT!"
The GREAT one; their "spiritual leader," who actually STARTED all this ENDTIME TOWER BUILDING
AND SKYSCRAPER BUILDING! They are all trying to OUT- DO their "MOTHER!" THE "MOTHER OF
HARLOTS" and "ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH!"
If you read the history of the Statue of Liberty, it appears to back this notion up. (of God perhaps using it as
a MARKING SIGN) The man who designed it was a high ranking FREEMASON who designed and built it to
be a GIFT to the FREEMASONS of New York City! These HIGHEST RANKING Freemasons and members
of the Illuminati are into the practice of Witchcraft or Luciferianism as I said before. These RICH MEN
secretly rule the world from behind the scenes! The Lord is pretty clever at causing these men to do things
sometimes when they don’t even know He’s doing it!!!
This man even said that this GREAT STATUE represents THE GODDESS ASTARTE! This is the Greek form
of the Assyrian name ASHTEROTH! In Babylonian this name was known as ISHTAR! This is where we get
our modern name for EASTER! This was BAAL’S WIFE! "THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN," as it calls her in the
Book of Jeremiah! This is the SAME FEMALE DIETY that has been worshipped by the PAGAN
RELIGIONS, like the DRUIDS, and others who are into WITCHCRAFT; all down through time under
different names in different cultures. In Rome she was Diana. Now in modern times in the New Age
Movement, & Wiccan witchcraft she is known as "Mother Gaia!" (the Goddess of the Earth)
It would take another complete study in itself to go into all this, but if you would like DOCUMENTION on
these things, I will give the address of three ministries at the end of this study who can verify much of this to
you. They are the ministries of David J. Smith, of Waxahachie, Texas; Texe Marrs of Austin, Texas; and Des
Griffin, of Clackamas, Oregon. These men write the most informative and knowledgeable newsletters and
books that there are on this subject! They also are a good reference source for others who write about these
things too. They may not share all my "opinions" in this study, but they can sure back up the facts on much
of this with plenty of documentation!
They even call the skyscrapers TOWERS now, as Isaiah the Prophet called them when he saw them FALL in
the day of the GREAT SLAUGHTER!
Isaiah 30:25
25 And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of
waters in the DAY OF THE GREAT SLAUGHTER, WHEN THE TOWERS FALL. (emphasis mine)
(Isaiah had just been speaking previously of the GREAT EARTHQUAKE that will come in the end of the
world, in the chapters leading up to this--specifically starting from chapter 24 on.)
Speaking of the GREAT EARTHQUAKE that I just referred to in Isaiah; here is some more amazing
Scripture that also describes this AWESOME ENDTIME EVENT! To view this we have to go back to the
texts of Ezekiel 38 & 39, and Revelation chapter 16! ONCE AGAIN, here is another MAJOR EVENT that is
described in BOTH of theses areas of Scripture which PROVES that they are speaking of the SAME TIME
PERIOD, and SAME EVENT! ARMAGEDDON!!! Ezekiel 38: 18-22 and Revelation 16: 16-21 BOTH speak
of the GREAT ENDTIME EARTHQUAKE! They BOTH portray this earthquake as being the GREATEST
EARTHQUAKE that will have ever happened!
Ezekiel 38:18-22
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire
of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all
creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth,
shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall
fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground. 21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout
all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother. 22 And I
will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his
bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.
Revelation 16:16-21
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the
temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders,
and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the
earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone
about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the
plague thereof was exceeding great.
In the passage in Ezekiel it says that this earthquake is so great that it causes even the FISH IN THE SEA to
shake at the presence of the Lord! It says that every man and beast will shake, and EVERY WALL SHALL
FALL TO THE GROUND, and that the MOUNTAINS WILL ACTUALLY BE THROWN DOWN! Think of
that!! All the great mountain ranges like the Hymalayas, the Alps, and the Rockies will topple! This is
OBVIOUSLY A WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE, not just a local area earthquake like we presently have when
one occurs. Compare the wording of these events out of Ezekiel with the following events out of Revelation:
In the passage in Revelation it says that this particular earthquake is GREATER THAN ANY THAT HAS
EVER OCCURRED BEFORE! It says that it is SO GREAT that it causes THE CITIES OF THE NATIONS
TO FALL! (Like in Ezekiel 38, where every WALL falls to the ground.) ALSO; like Ezekiel, it indicates that
this event is WORLDWIDE IN SCOPE! It says that every island fled away, and the MOUNTAINS WERE
NOT FOUND! (Ezekiel 38 says, "THE MOUNTAINS SHALL BE THROWN DOWN!")
Folks; that can only happen ONCE! The mountain ranges cannot be "thrown down," or leveled TWO
SEPARATE TIMES, in the ENDTIME! These two areas of Scripture MUST be describing the SAME
EARTHQUAKE! This mention of what happens to the MOUNTAIN RANGES sounds like PRETTY
CONVINCING EVIDENCE, and CONCLUSIVE PROOF!
And in BOTH areas of Scripture it says that this is followed by a plague of GREAT HAIL falling upon
mankind! Ezekiel says an OVERFLOWING RAIN OF GREAT HAIL, FIRE, AND BRIMSTONE! So both of
these areas of Scripture are obviously describing the SAME EVENT HERE!
Therefore, if the GREAT EARTHQUAKE described in both of these areas of Scripture is the SAME EVENT;
then by the same token, the GREAT BATTLE which is described in both, (where the armies fall on the
hillsides) must be the SAME BATTLE TOO!!! There is the CONCLUSIVE PROOF! The fact that the
MOUNTAIN RANGES CANNOT BE THROWN DOWN TWICE, and that BOTH OF THESE EVENTS
OCCUR TOGETHER!
BOTH of these events: the GREAT BATTLE where the armies of God’s enemies fall on the hillsides of Israel
and are eaten by the birds, and the GREAT EARTHQUAKE, which is greater than any that has EVER
OCCURRED BEFORE; GO TOGETHER to PROVE that THESE TWO AREAS OF SCRIPTURE ARE
TALKING ABOUT THE SAME EVENT --- ARMAGEDDON!
This PROVES that Ezekiel 38 & 39 concern the BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON, and that they are not a
SEPARATE BATTLE, in which the battle in Ezekiel occurs BEFORE the battle in Revelation. This is VERY
IMPORTANT in understanding ENDTIME EVENTS. Because, as I said before, some prophecy teachers
teach that the GOG - MAGOG battle of Ezekiel 38 & 39 is a SEPARATE BATTLE from the BATTLE OF
ARMAGEDDON spoken of in the BOOK OF REVELATION! They believe that Russia will attack America
and Israel at the BEGINNING OF THE TRIBULATION, and destroy eachother, and then the ANTICHRIST
WILL RISE and rule for either 3 ½ or 7 years. (and be a WESTERN EUROPEAN)
But in light of the Sciptural evidence I have presented in this study, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL
HAPPEN! I believe that the Antichrist will be of RUSSIAN, or of closely related DESCENT, or the Lord
would have NEVER PUT THESE SCRIPTURES ABOUT GOG IN THE BIBLE! They are there for a
REASON, and I believe that reason is to link them together with the LIKE VERSES out of Revelation
concerning the BEAST and thereby SHOW US HIS IDENTITY!
This leads us into my NEXT STUDY, on MORE SCRIPTURES that PROVE this battle comes AT, or NEAR
the VERY END, and that it is DIRECTLY TIED to the COMING NUCLEAR WAR which destroys AMERICA,
(BABYLON THE GREAT) in ONE HOUR BY FIRE!
Revelation 16: 16-21 gives us an actual TIME FRAME REFERENCE for this GREAT EARTHQUAKE as
coming at the LAST VIAL OF GOD’S WRATH! This is the LAST EVENT that occurs on GOD’S
TIMETABLE! That places this all at the VERY END! This is very important in understanding just WHEN the
nuclear war will come; as what APPEARS to be NUCLEAR WAR in the Scriptures, can be directly linked to
these SAME EVENTS in the Book of Revelation and the writings of the Prophets!
I hope that this has been both interesting and enlightening, and that it inspires the reader to study the
Scriptures to "see if these things be so!" I welcome your replies and commentary, and hope that you will
take the time to respond with anything the Lord shows you personally concerning these events. Thank you
for your time and attention.

We Must Keep The Beasts Away Until

Harvest
by Lori Reynolds
You may not believe how God communicated this to me, but it was through the TV program," Winnie the Pooh." It
seems Rabbit was tending his field, and telling Pooh, "We must keep the beasts away until harvest!" (My spiritual ears
tuned right in to that) Pooh answered, "How do we do that?" "A scarecrow!" Rabbit answered.
I knew God was speaking to me, so I got my notebook to record my observations.
Scarecrows are traditionally made of straw. In the Word, straw is symbolic of the flesh. Straw is the stalk of wheat or
barley, and is separated by a process called threshing. In a spiritual sense, when God threshes, it is to separate the
precious grain (or spirit) from the stalk (or flesh). So, our scarecrow is made of straw, or flesh.
When the farmer constructs the scarecrow, he goes to his closet. His intention is to make the 'beasts' think that the
scarecrow is him. The Farmer makes the scarecrow in His image. The scarecrow wears the Farmer's clothes, His hat,
His gloves, etc.
This one blew me away! When the Farmer places the scarecrow in the field, He puts it on a pole, with its arms out-
stretched. Lifted up on a tree, or a cross, if you will.
May God place us in His field, may we bear His image, yes even the image of His Son, even though we are made of
flesh, He will put His garments on us. The enemy sees us as God sees us, clothed in the image of Jesus, arms out-
stretched, and lifted up on a cross. Pick up your cross and follow Him, daily.
Be blessed, Lori Reynolds

Be Encouraged
Teresa Seputis
Feb 12, 1998
I am reminding My people of the promises that I made to them a long time ago and I am stirring them up.
Many of you have become discouraged. At first you received My promise with great joy. But as time elapsed, some of
you have altogether given up hope in the promises that I made to you.
Some of you, like Sarah, have tried to find your own method to fulfill My word to you. But your efforts have led to nothing
but frustration and you have given up hope and fallen into despair. The harder you tried, the worse things got until it was
totally out of control. But My promise shall be birthed in you and it will come to full term and it will be delivered. You will
hold the fruit of My promise in your arms just like Sarah, in her old age, held her infant son in her arms.
Some of you, like Joseph, received My promise with joy but were rejected and scorned by those who should have been
supporting you... sold into slavery and thrown into prison. But My promise still stands firm even the worse things got until
it was totally out of control. But My promise shall be birthed in you and it will come to full term and it will be delivered.
You will hold the fruit of My promise in your arms just like Sarah, in her old age, held her infant son in her arms.
Some of you, like Joseph, received My promise with joy but were rejected and scorned by those who should have been
supporting you, sold into slavery and thrown into prison. But My promise still stands firm even though the circumstances
around you shout that it cannot be fulfilled. When things seem bleakest to you, the prison door will be open and you will
come out into a place of authority and gifting that I have set aside for you. I have declared it over you and it will come to
pass.
This is a time where I am stirring up hope in the hearts of My people and restoring the vision I gave them. I am reviewing
promises I made to My children a long time ago. Promises that I will fulfill in the very near future.
This is a season of hope and restoration. So be encouraged, My people. Let Me breathe My hope and My faith back into
you. For I would make you strong. I will restore your hope and build your faith. And then I will manifest Myself in and
through you with great power.

Behold I Come
A Prophetic Word for these Days
Ann Shields
The attached is a the full statement in context of what I believe is one of THE NOW WORDS from the Lord. This comes
from Ann Shields, part of the (F)aith (I)ntercession (R)epentance (E)vangelization team based out of the Franciscan
University of Steubenville. Ann is an very stable servant of the Lord having lived among a group of single for the Lord
women for 15 plus years in Ann Arbor. She is part of Renewal Ministries, a group headed by Ralph Martin who travels
around the world evangelizing.
This word confirms another given publicly at St. Peter's Basilica in 1975 when the Catholic Charismatics were invited by
Pope Paul VI to have there conference there. If this word speaks to your heart and if you would like the text of the 1975
prophecy please e-mail me. I know most of you who read this are non-Catholics and I also know that many of you may
have a difficult time believing that God can speak a now word to you through the Catholic Church, but I do urge you as
my brothers and sisters to prayerfully discern the voice of God here.
This century has been full of surprises of the Holy Spirit, and most of the surprises come about because God is blessing
some one we would not bless or he is using someone we would not use or he is working among a group of folks that we
had written off.
I love you my brothers and sisters. In Christ.
Michael A. Culbertson (imtreb@worldnet.att.net)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
" See that you do not refuse to hear Him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned
them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject Him who warns from Heaven. His voice then shook the earth; but
now He has promised, 'Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.' This phrase, ' Yet once more,'
indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken and thus let us offer to God acceptable
worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:25-29.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Ralph has asked me to share with you what I believe I am hearing from the Lord in recent days. To be quite honest, it is
a growing fire within my heart which intensifies painfully whether I speak or keep silent.
A little history: On a cold, wet December Friday evening in 1994, I simply wanted to go home from work, pray a bit and
then curl up with a good book by a fire. (Sounds good doesn't it?) As I prepared to do just that, a "little voice reminded
me of an evening prayer meeting in Peter Herbeck's family basement to which I had been invited. Somehow I felt I should
go… but just for a little while I assured myself. When I arrived worship had already begun. Halfheartedly participating for a
while and becoming more tired by the minute I was about ready to leave when I sensed this thought inside me: "Tell them
I am coming!" "What could that mean," I thought. "Must be some leftover thought from the Advent liturgy." But it
persisted until it seemed, as with Jeremiah, that it was like a fire within – a fire I could not contain. So I spoke out just
that, "I am coming." Everyone waited for more. Me, too, but nothing came. I said it again, "I am coming" – and left it at
that, I thought. But since then, over almost four years, in a variety of gatherings, God's Holy Spirit has prompted me to
say it again and again. Most of the time it is just that simple sentence. Sometimes it sounds like a trumpet. (Like when,
God urged me to stand on a chair in a large gathering and declare it.) More often, it's just a simple declaration.
What does it mean? Let me say first, I HAVE NO SENSE THAT THIS WORD REFERS TO THE SECOND COMING OF
CHRIST. It is true we do not know the day or the hour. It is true that Christ could return at any time. So, it is possible
that Christ is coming very soon. But my sense is that this coming has something to do with Pope John Paul's call to
prepare for the great Jubilee (2,000). The Holy Father tells us with what I sense is a prophetic spirit that there will be a
revelation of the Son of Man in our time. That somehow, through God's grace, the world will see the Lord, the Messiah
and King; there will be a deeper revelation in our understanding of who Jesus really is. Remember His question to Peter?
Who do men say that the Son of Man is? And they said, ' Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah and others say
Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' He said to them: 'But who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied, 'You are the
Christ, the Son of the Living God.' (Mt. 16:13-16). Somehow by a tremendous grace that God chooses to release in the
time of the Great Jubilee, we will experience some sovereign action of God that will cause us to recognize Him, to "see"
Him, for millions to bow down and acknowledge His divinity, His lordship.
At least that is as much as I could fathom until the other day… During a staff meeting where we had Mass and a time of
intercession following it, the Lord began to say more.
THE WORD THE WORD THE WORD
"Thus says the Lord God, Behold I come. I come in Judgement; I come with justice in my hands. I come for those who
have spurned my word and scorned My law; I come to speak to those who have rejected by own Beloved Son. The times
will be difficult. The earth will be shaken. In that day, I want you to be ready to point the way to me. I do not want you to
doubt my presence or my care. I act to cause many to return to me. You learn now only to rely on me. Depend not on the
things of this world for much will be swept away in that time. Depend on me. Depend only on me. For I wish to use you to
bring many back to me. Many will cry out for help, for answers in that time. Bring them to me. You must be firm and
confident and sure in me, in my love, in my mercy. I will not fail you. But depend on nothing but me. The time is now
almost now at hand. Be ready. Sink your roots deep in me that in the day of trial you will stand firm and give me glory for
I will reveal myself and every knee will bow."
The Holy Father speaks of a new springtime for Christianity, a harvest of souls that will be revealed by the Great Jubilee. I
believe that but I believe that it will happen through great trial. This is not some kind of "millennium fever. " In a way it is
just common sense. For years we have walked in a river of grace. In His great mercy God has called and wooed and won
us through the life and action and power of His Holy Spirit. But many, many have not followed and, in fact, as we well
know many have rejected and mocked and chosen to walk their own way even when the penalty of that sin has been
evident in their bodies and in those of their children. Not only that, but they have chosen to lead many others astray.
Whether it be the political, judicial, educational, economic or medical arenas, God's law is no longer the foundation and
with increasing frequency not even a guiding principle. As a nation, as a people we are committing suicide, choosing to
go our own sinful, stubborn, shortsighted way to eternal damnation.
In HIS MERCY, God, as Father, cannot refrain from dealing with those who reject the life He offers and five them on more
chance from His heart – even though that chance will involve suffering and pain. I believe He will come now to speak not
in the language of gentleness and tenderness, but in a language of chastisement. Some will only let go of sin and the
ways of the world when they are removed from them through hardship and difficulty.
"My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by Him. For the Lord
disciplines him whom He loves and chastises every son whom He receives. 'It is for discipline that you have to endure.
God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in
which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers to
discipline us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they
disciplined us for a short time at their pleasure, but He disciplines for our good, that we may share His holiness. For the
moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
have been trained by it." (Hebrews 12:5-11)
Don't speculate on what those trials or forms of suffering will be. Don't waste time on that. We will know soon enough.
Let us spend the time sinking our roots more deeply in His merciful heart, in His will, in His ways. Let us repent of our
sin, return to the Lord and wait upon His word. For in that day of trial, it will be, in great part, our love, our mercy, our
peace and patience, rooted and founded in Him, that will win many to Jesus Christ.
May Jesus, the only Beloved Son of the Father, be revealed in that day of severe mercy and may countless men and
women be converted to Him and know true Life. Come, Lord Jesus!!!
Sincerely in His Name,

After I received this prophetic word, I asked the Lord for some confirmation and was given this passage from Jeremiah
30:1-17. "The word came to Jeremiah from the Lord: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel. Write in a book all the words
that I have spoken to you. For behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people,
Israel and Judah, says the Lord, and I will bring back to the land which I gave to their fathers and they shall take
possession of it."
These are the words which the Lord spoke concerning Israel and Judah:
Thus says the Lord: We have heard a cry of panic, of terror and no peace. Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child?
Why then, do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale? Alas!
That day is so great there is none like it; it is a time of distress for Jacob; yet he shall be saved out of it.
And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of Hosts, that I will break the yoke from off their neck, and I will
burst their bonds, and strangers shall no more make servants of them. But they shall serve the Lord their God and David
their king, whom I will raise up for them.
Then fear not, O Jacob my servant, says the Lord, nor be dismayed, O Israel; for lo, I will save You from afar, and your
offspring from the land of captivity. Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease.

Revivals' "Bells And Whistles"!

by Raymond Cox
The following article, except for the last sentence, appeared in early 1997 in the revival paper "SECOND WIND" published
in Portland, Oregon by Foursquare members, Larry and Ruth Hebert. Wisely, I now believe, the editors substituted a less
personal sentence. Much of this material was presented by the author at Seattle Revival Center on the last Sunday night
of April 1997.
In the history of God's dealings with mankind "bells and whistles"--remarkable revelations, manifestations, and
demonstrations--have accompanied virtually every renewal or revival. It was so on the day of Pentecost when a sound like
wind, an appearance like fire, and a response resembling drunkenness accompanied the initial outpouring of the Holy
Ghost.
It has been so throughout church history, as Guy Chevrauu has documented in a videotape and books circulated by the
Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. In American revivals like the first Great Awakening in the 1770's under Jonathan
Edwards in New England and the Second beginning in 1801 at Pine Ridge, Kentucky under the Presbyterians (cf. Archie
Robertson, "The Old Time Religion"), and subsequently at the Azusa Street Mission, and at Aimee Semple McPherson's
Angelus Temple, especially after April 1936, as well as at Toronto, Canada since 1994, amazing and bizarre features
have graced the revivals.
Charles G. Finney offered an explanation for the strange goings-on: "God has found it necessary to take advantage of the
excitability there is in mankind to produce powerful excitements among them, before He can lead them to obey. Men are
so sluggish, there are so many things to lead their minds off from religion and to oppose the influence of the Gospel, that
it is necessary to raise an excitement among them, till the tide rises so high as to sweep away opposing obstacles.
They must be so aroused that they will break over these counteracting influences, before they will obey God" (sermon
reprinted in the "Prairie Overcomer", Nov 1953, p 338). T DeWitt Talmadge shared similar sentiments eloquently in his
famous sermon, "Sensation or Stagnation," insisting that we have far less to fear from sensation than from stagnation.
They say, "Still waters run deep." That, however, isn't universally true. Sometimes still waters get stagnant. Fervency of
spirit is usually the atmosphere in which God manifests himself in glory.
Leaders have usually discovered that it is easier to restrain a fanatic than to resurrect a corpse! As a student of historical
revivals for many decades I have come to an interesting conclusion. It has been true throughout church history that when
the manifestations and demonstrations wane revivals ebb! Revivalists often crave for respectability and usually are able to
achieve it. But the cost has almost always included decline after downplaying manifestations! Near the end of his life
Donald Gee realized his conservative approach had to some extent quenched the Spirit. His letter to me dated May 27,
1965 confessed, "It is so very easy, as I know to my shame, to let the necessity of correction in some points so fill our
hearts and minds that we become unwittingly negative."
In 1921 Aimee Semple McPherson began to react so negatively to some outlandish fanaticism in her meetings,
especially in Baltimore, MD and Witchita, KS that the "Pentecostal Evangel" asked, "Is Mrs. McPherson Pentecostal?"
(cf. article in June 10, 1922 issue, p. 9). Most Pentecostals outside of her movement were sure she was not. But by
1936 when she returned to Angelus Temple from a protracted absence, she invited revivalists from the old Azusa Street
Mission and personally led her church into a glorious revival which included almost all the "bells and whistles"
conspicuous in the historic revivals except the "barks", manifestations and demonstrations never witnessed before in her
ministry at Angelus Temple.

Beware
Terry and Jo Cotter
To all the Saints, the following is a condensed Word that the Lord began giving us in May of 1997. Feedback is
appreciated.
"There is a new move of God on the horizon. God wants us to be prepared for that new move; He does not want us to be
left behind, AND SO HE WARNS US IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE WILL BE READY.
Many in the Church are in danger of being left behind IF THEY SEE THEMSELVES AS ALREADY HAVING ARRIVED,
RATHER THAN AS STILL ON THE JOURNEY. All that we have so far--Tongues, baptism in the Holy Spirit, signs and
wonders, miracles--these things are all very important, and they will continue; they will not cease to exist. But they are
not the end of the Journey. The Journey ends when Jesus Christ has at last been crowned King of Kings and Lord of
lords, and begins His Reign on this earth. Everything until that time is preparation for that time.
We need to be open to whatever God has. If we see ourselves as rich, full, in the know, in need of nothing, then we
become the Church of Laodicea, and we will be spewed out of His mouth. Not that we will lose our Eternal salvation. But
WE WILL BE SPEWED OUT AND DEEMED UNWORTHY OF THIS NEW MOVE OF GOD. King Jesus will say to us,
"You did not see yourselves as needy and wholly dependent on Me. Instead, you saw yourselves as being rich
Spiritually, because of the Spiritual revelations that you have received to this point. Therefore, you are not worthy to be
amongst those who will lead this New Move. I would have had you ready. I warned you to prepare yourselves, to ever be
alert. But you did not take my message to heart; you saw others as needy and lacking and YOU DID NOT REALIZE that
I was speaking to you."
And so this is the message to the Church: BEWARE. Beware that you do not become complacent in your hunger and
thirst to know more of Me. BEWARE, lest you, like the Church of Laodicia begin to see yourselves as "in the know"
Spiritually, rather than weak, humble, poor, needy souls. BEWARE that you do not allow the enemy to deceive you into
believing the message that I gave you was for someone else. it was for you.
BEWARE or you will become another landmark . I want you to be ON THE CUTTING EDGE of this new move. I want to
do through you what very few bodies of believers have allowed me to do through them in the past: I want you to let go of
everything you know (not despising it, for I have told you not to forget, and not to despise, the landmarks [Deut.19.14;
17.17]), but to be willing to put these very things that I gave to you in the beginning down on the altar, that you might be
able to pick up a new thing, a new word.
BEWARE, LEST YOU DISMISS THIS MESSAGE OUT OF HAND. Have I asked you so much to be open? Is it too great
a thing for Me to do something new in your midst? Do you know better than I?
BEWARE."
To the messenger: "Plead with them and say, Do not reject Me. Do not turn away from what I say. I would weep over
each one that I lose because THEY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE DAY OF THEIR VISITATION. THIS IS THE DAY OF
YOUR VISITATION. I will do a new thing in he land. Shall I not tell you in advance, so that you will be ready. Why, then,
would you reject my message to you? Why do you turn from my words and choose instead to go in your own way. Do
not do what is right in your own eyes. Do as I say to you. Listen to what I am saying to you. Listen with your heart.
Would you close your heart to me? Would you turn from me now, after we have come this far together. Will you reject
me, as Israel rejected me. Oh, how many times I would have gathered them in my arms, and they would not.
Is it such a hard thing that I have asked of You, to be willing to embrace change?"
On 6/24/97: 2 Chronicles 29.36: And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God prepared the people; for the thing
was done suddenly. God wants to prepare the people so we'll be ready. If we wait until we see the changes happening it
will be too late. It will happen suddenly--just as with Joseph--who was imprisoned and enslaved for 13 years--was
suddenly released from prison and elevated to a position of immense importance. So it will be now--it will come suddenly,
and if God does not prepare us first, we will miss it. In essence, this message is God saying to the Church, "Please, let
me get you ready."

Beyond The Realm Of Our Experience

Jerry and Karen Snyder
Much of what we are seeing and hearing, both in the natural and in the spirit is pointing to the Lord wrapping up the plan
of the ages. As we look at this ending of the plan, we see there are many things that will happen that the church has
never or only partially experienced before. The true unity of the faith, a Bride without spot or wrinkle, the fullness of the
stature of Christ, power, gifts, a profound harvest, persecution, the revealing of the Anti-Christ, the rapture of the church
and the second coming of our Lord to the earth.
The problem with all of this is that mankind has never experienced a lot of this and the tendency is going to be to reject it
because it isn't the same as how God moved in the past. Look at all the "to do" that the Father's Blessing (from Toronto)
has caused. Such a fuss over some laughing, jerking and falling. Those who have experienced it report that their lives are
changed and the fruit bears witness. God did something that we weren't expecting and didn't fit with our old experiences.
Peter experienced this same thing when he walked on the water. Peter was a fisherman and knew about water and
storms. He had probably heard of or known of men who had drowned while out fishing. From Peter's comments as he
was sinking, it is quite probable that he didn't know how to swim. So why did he do what he did? The answer is quite
simple. His desire to be with Jesus was GREATER than his fear of drowning. I am convinced that the other 11 could have
done the same. They all could have played tag out on the water had they been of a mind to. The problem was that the
other 11 allowed their past experience and their head knowledge to override their faith so they, being "wise", stayed in
the boat. Peter stepped beyond the realm of his experience to pursue his Lord.
Much of what God is calling his church to is going to be BEYOND the realm of our past experience. There may not be a
scriptural precedent for it nor an historical account of it. The only way we will be able to not make major mistakes is by
knowing the spirit of the law as well as the letter of the law. We will have to follow the principles...body ministry,
edification, exhortation and comfort, decently and in order, not gendering to strife, provoking to love, etc... To demand
that God only do what he has done before is to put him in a box, and He won't stay there. If the church is to fly like a
butterfly, then we are going to have to break out of our cocoon.
The big enemy will be tradition. If we look at Jesus' dealings with the Pharisees and religious leaders of his day, we see
that the main bone of contention was that Jesus was non-traditional, He didn't conform to past experience. Jesus even
told them that they rejected the commandment of God...and made it of none effect...so that they could keep their
tradition. What an indictment!! Yet we can be in danger of doing the same in the coming moves of God if we demand to
stick with our past experience and traditions. It doesn't matter if those traditions are Baptist or Pentecostal, if we demand
them, they could get in the way and keep us from God's fullest blessing.
Our understanding of how God works is going to be stretched by what is coming. We need to begin preparing our spirits
to be stretched and our understandings to be challenged. We are not saying "anything goes", for the Spirit of God will not
violate the Word of God, but God will certainly stretch our understanding. Imagine spending 120 years building a boat to
save every species of animal during a flood of rain that had never happened before! Where was the precedent? Imagine
walking on the water, where was the precedent? Imagine a unified church even in doctrine and without spot or wrinkle,
where is the precedent? Some of these things have already happened, without precedent and the rest will.
These are exciting and scary times. We must be firmly fixed on the Word of God and be led by the Spirit of God for we
are about to see unprecedented things happening in our lives and in the nations. Even so,
COME LORD JESUS!!!!!

Breast-fed Or Formula?
Bryan Hupperts
December 11, 1998
Lamentations 4: 3-4. Even the jackals give the breast and suckle their young, but the
daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness. The tongue
of the nursling cleaves to the roof of its mouth for thirst; the children beg for food, but no
one gives to them.
Hi, SheepTrax!
One of the many names and titles of God Almighty is El Shaddai. The name means "the many
breasted one." God is revealing Himself as strong yet also as a nurturer who willingly holds his babies
close in order that we may nurse and gain strength from Him. What is implied here is that whosoever
will may draw close to the Lord to nurse. I believe this attribute is what is being referred to when the
Lord extends this invitation. Psalms 81:10 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the
land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it." It's a beautiful picture of a nursing mother holding
her suckling baby close.
My wife and I have two children and because of circumstances, our first baby was bottle-fed while the
second was breast-fed. There is a shocking difference between their health. While meditation on the
above verse in Lamentations, the Holy Spirit showed me something regarding the spiritual health of
His church.
Before I pen this, let me offer a disclaimer. A working single mom raised me and my brother and
sister and I know first hand how difficult that situation is. Despite the stress of growing up in a single
parent household, we still came out OK! It was not God's ideal for us - He wisely gave us two parents
for a reason. He still offers grace in hard places!
Like many verses, this story in Lamentations was rooted in a historical episode. It also has a spiritual
application today for the church. God speaks here that even the jackal, an animal associated with
cruelty and uncleanness, has enough compassion to suckle her young. He stated that the daughters of
his people have become cruel and refuse to breast feed their children and his babies are starving!
"The tongue of the nursling cleaves to the roof of its mouth for thirst; the children beg for food, but no
one gives to them." While there are many places where this has had literal fulfillment, let me suggest
that many babes in Christ are in a similar place of malnutrition and starvation! Why? Because they are
being fed "formula" and are not being "breast-fed!" Allow me to elaborate.
The Holy Spirit showed me a picture of a mother nursing and a can of baby formula. I felt him rebuke
his church, specifically his shepherds, who feed his babies "formula" Christianity - who do not teach
the babies how to walk in the Spirit and feed from the Word of God. The "formula" can be seen in
many Christian bookstores. You know, "God's Keys to make You Rich," "The 7 Steps to This, "The
Eleven Steps to That."
A babies immunity system is not fully functional for approximately a year and he has to get his
antibiotics from his mother. Formula may be nutritional, but it offers no immunity! Babies need not only
the milk, but the mother's antibodies, to grow healthy and strong.
Our son David was sick for the first 3 ½ years of his life. Asthma, allergies, and constant infections
were his lot in life. My wife was a career girl and we formula fed our son with our physicians'
assurance that it made little difference how we fed him.
Contrast David with our daughter Amber Jade who is breast-fed. Other than teething, she hasn't been
ill one day in her life. I joking call her Baby Sumo because of her size. She sniffled one afternoon but it
cleared up before sundown. She radiates continual good health and contentment. We are convinced
the reason for the difference is because David was formula-fed and Amber Jade is breast-fed.
Formula is Christianity that contains Truth - but it isn't suckled (speaking of a nurturing relationship with
El Shaddai). It's just dry Truth. When you go to Christian bookstores, you can find Formulas for starting
churches, ABC plans for Bible studies, planning your life, and on and on. We now have so many
accurate Formulas that who needs God? We've got this thing figured out!
Truth about God apart from a relationship with Him is exactly what the Pharisees had. New believers
are exhorted in 1 Peter 2:2 to, "Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may
grow up to salvation." The crux of the issue is that we teach people about God, but do not show them
how to know Him!
Instead of teaching the young in Christ how to abide in His Presence, how to meditate on the
Scriptures, how to walk in the Spirit and develop spiritual gifts and discernment, many pastors teach
easily reciteable Formulas that are really spiritual short cuts to serving God. We look at spiritual truth
like an algebra formula - never mind if we understand it or not - just use this faith formula, recite the
following verses, plug in the variables, and ta-da! You'll get your answer guaranteed!
When a mother breast-feeds, she has to expose a bit of herself and be willingly to hold someone
close. Self-exposure is risky and sometimes you can get hurt so many people won't take the chance. I
knew a pastor once that had no relationship with his congregation. Many of the men in his church
reached out to him in friendship and all were rebuffed. His church radiates an unhealthy spiritual pallor.
He preaches doctrinal Truth but there is no nurturing relationship between him and his congregation.
And they all suffer for it.
Likewise, I get disgusted when Rev. Brother so and so tries to sell me his latest tape - full of the latest
formulas on being a successful Christian - and then promptly leaves town. God's heart is to have a
relationship with His people. He wants us to know Truth, but also to intimately know the Truth, who is
Jesus himself!
My wife is constantly thirsty. She has to drink milk and water constantly or she'll be sucked dry! How
many ministries has this happened to? For those who will nurse the babies, who will risk self-
exposure, there is the danger of going dry. You have to be in vital relationship with the Lord daily
seeking Him in prayer in order to stay filled with the Living Water of His presence. If you abide in Him,
you will never be thirsty! I suspect that is why Jesus often went off by Himself to pray - to be refreshed
by his Father's Presence.
One of the main marks of Formula Christianity is that it lacks compassion. There are inviolable rules
that have to work because, hey, this is the Formula! (and they usually have two or three stand alone
verses to prove it). For instance, I had a close friend whose young child died. The girls' mom
developed cancer while she was pregnant and nearly died herself.
A Faith preacher (and I believe in having Faith!) was actually rebuking these grieving parents for "not
having enough faith," to believe for their daughter's healing. (I know her dad fasted and prayed for 5
days till she died.) Then he had the audacity to rebuke them further for not believing God for a
resurrection!
You'll respect me when I didn't laugh when this man's weary wife left him a year latter saying he was
insufferable. This man had "Faith" out the wazoo but lacked the compassion of Christ. He attended a
well-known Faith Bible college and several years passed before I finally realized that he was a victim
of Formula Christianity.
The scripture states in Matthew 14:14, "As he (Jesus) went ashore he saw a great throng; and he had
compassion on them, and healed their sick." Compassion means to 'suffer together.' This poor man
had formulas for every situation and just fell apart when his faith confessions failed. He was
confessing for a restored marriage, but he wouldn't respect or love his wife who finally left him. She
wanted a loving, nurturing relationship with a man, not someone who would only talk about Love all day
long. She wanted to receive and experience the love he always talked about but never gave.
Formula is so convenient. Mix it up, serve it, and you're finished! Breast-feeding takes longer, is
messier, and costs you something personal. Do you know Truth, or do you abide in a nurturing
relationship with El Shaddai, the many-breasted one, who is the Truth? Consider the state of your
spiritual health and see if you have been feeding on Formula or being breast-fed.

The Bible Highway

Marsha Burns
September 18, 1998:

I saw the pages of the Bible like a highway with the center of the Book as the center line of the road. The scriptures were
elongated, and the road was long and straight and narrowed with distance ahead of Me. At the end of the road was a sign
post which read: Isaiah 62:10-12,
"Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out
the stones; lift up a banner for the peoples! Indeed the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the world: 'Say to
the daughter of Zion, surely your salvation is coming; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before
Him.' And they shall call them The Holy People, The Redeemed of the Lord; and you shall be called Sought
Out, A City Not Forsaken."
Then, the Lord said:

You are My people, My called-out ones, My chosen generation. I have called you forth at this time to prepare the way for
My soon return. Do not deviate from the path I have chosen for you and set you on. The end is near, and there is still
much to do and many things yet to occur before My return. Stay focused and keep moving. I will lead and guide every
step. I will direct you by My word into end-time events. Do not be afraid. I am with you.

Biblical Priorities
George Larsen
My Dear Brothers;
The Bible contains a vast amount of information. The Holy Spirit will at times emphasize certain subjects or scriptures to
different Saints at different times for different reasons. I believe that the Spirit is emphasizing revival at this time. Many
are discussing this subject and a lot of good things are being said and revealed to God's people to prepare us for what's
coming. I personally find this very exciting because I have been hoping and praying for this end time revival since 1976
when I first learned about God's intentions for our generation.
At this time I would like to share some thoughts with you regarding what I have learned over the years in my Biblical
studies and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I want to focus on what I consider to be of the utmost priority of God
the Father in these last times. This I believe is every bit as important as evangelism, healing, music or any other subject
related to revival.
From the beginning of the Bible in Genesis chapter 2 we see, in type, God the Father presenting a bride to His only Son.
Also in the Book of Revelation there is quite a bit of text concerning the marriage of the Lamb. I believe that one of God's
rewards to His Son will be to present Him with His bride. He who perfectly loved the Father and carried out His will
completely is worthy of great reward. Amen. This holy bride will be a reward befitting of the One who is able to reward
those who faithfully serve Him.
With this in mind let's read Rev. 19:7 "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is
come and His bride HAS MADE HERSELF READY." Now this Scripture behooves us to ask ourselves, "What must we
do to get ourselves ready?" And also, "Can the end come before the bride is ready?" A proper understanding of the
purpose of the bride of Christ coupled with this Scripture will keep one from the error of believing that the rapture can
happen any time now. The truth is; we are not going anywhere nor is Christ returning for us until we get ourselves ready.
This truth also makes date setting suspect because there are many free wills involved as well as the hindering forces of
Satan trying to prevent Christ from receiving His just reward; therefore, it is taking some time for the Holy Spirit to perfect
the Church. This is why He who is letting is letting, because we are not ready for our Husband yet. So the longer we wait
the longer He has to wait.
So how can we "hasten the coming of the day of God" (2 Peter 3:12)? Well, for the bride to be ready she must be holy,
spotless, and of course ONE. In John 17: 22-23, Jesus prays "I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they
may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought into complete unity to let the world know that
you sent me." In this prayer, the desire of our Lord is clearly seen, that we be one; as well as the resulting impact that
this unity will have on the world. This oneness will result in nothing less than the revival we are all seeking and praying
for. It is also true that the revival will generate this oneness, because the Holy Spirit is the only one who can unite and
perfect us, but once we are united and perfected the revival will increase exponentially.
For our part we must recognize this as a priority of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ and therefore yield to His
Spirit of unity. The "unity chapter", Ephesians 4: 2-3 says, "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with
one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." And also Eph 4:16,
"From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as
each part does its work." This is God's call to us in this present hour. We must "make ourselves ready" by uniting in
love.
1 John 2: 9-11 says, "Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness. Whoever loves
his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. But whoever hates his brother is in the
darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded
him." You see we are supposed to be going towards unity, but hating our brother will keep us from even seeing God's
purpose to unite His Church.
Now I have noticed that some people think that they are justified in hating their brother because they say that their
brother is not really their brother, but a false brother. These people care little for unity, in fact in most cases they oppose
it except with the ones who pass their particular litmus test of what a brother in Christ should look like and think like and
act like. To these people I would say BE CAREFUL! One of the main purposes of the devil's deception in these last days
is to keep the brethren divided. Even a person that has a good foundation in Scripture and therefore thinks that they are
not deceived, can still be carrying out the devil's purpose to divide the brethren by accusing others of being deceived and
relegating them to the "false brother" category. In doing this these misguided brothers make void the commandment of
God, the Great Commandment to love your brother as yourself.
Isaiah 66:5 says, "Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you
out for my name's sake, said 'Let the LORD be glorified:' but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed."
I cut my spiritual teeth in a church that was very Biblically centered, but unfortunately not very tolerant. I used to think
that everyone that did not believe the Bible in the way that I did, (and of course my way was right) would surely be lost. I
judged many because their doctrines just did not line up with Scripture. I was a sower of the seeds of division because I
had the truth, and it was my way or no way and I was not about to unite with anyone who did not see it that way. Then
one day God began to show me truths from the Scripture. New and glorious truths! But now it was my doctrine that didn't
"line up" and I became an outcast. I was cast out but all I wanted was freedom. The freedom to let the Holy Spirit lead
me and teach me rather than some pastor or well meaning brother. Consequently, I found a new tolerance for letting my
brothers be led by the Holy Spirit themselves. We are not all the same so we need to let God do His work on each other.
We need to be patient and above all love, love, love our brother and stand for him. The bride of Christ will have no less an
attitude than this to prepare herself for her Groom. Please let's let God have control of His church and stop judging.
I want more than anything else for Jesus, our beautiful and glorious Lord, to receive His bride. The bride has to prepare
herself for Him, and I'm hoping that by this letter I can help some to see more clearly the way to doing His will and
accomplishing His purposes for us who are called by His grace to unite together with Him and one another in love. Amen,
Come Lord Jesus.
By His grace, a fellow

servant of Christ,
in love to you all.

Seminary Of The Blind Leading The Blind.

by Paula M. Cavu
Dream by Shawn on 11 Feb 1998
and comments [in italics] by Paula M. Cavu.
Date: Wed, 11 Feb 1998 16:28:13 PST

From: Shawn
Greetings Paula,
I want to thank you for the blessing that your ministry is. I am a beginner in my gift of prophecy. Sometimes I receive
dreams on a nightly basis and your ministry is really instrumental in helping me interpret what God is saying. I have also
seen some of these dreams come true.
Praise the Lord for the discipleship of the Holy Spirit!
It was interesting to read the recent dreams about war because I have had a couple of very vivid dreams lately. In the
dreams, I am leading but I am leading people that are in a war (bomb) shelter. It was made very clear to me in the dream
that this is where we were.
Yes, many dreams about warfare are coming to us from all over the world.
However, I am writing about a particular dream that I had in January that really hit me. It is a long dream that came in
several scenes so I will try to be brief. A little background about me is that I just started seminary to prepare for full time
ministry a couple of weeks ago. Since I have been on campus I have been deep in prayer because the amount of false
doctrine and unnatural things that are going on here are unbelievable. If not careful, seminary could shake one's very
foundation of faith.
Scene 1
My family and I were in a 2 story house. We were expecting overseas visitors from Trinidad. (I visited there recently for
real). The house was very unclean and I was scrambling to make the house presentable. The house was not mine but it
was one of my family members so I was also visiting. The guest came and I was going out of my way to entertain them
and engage them in conversation. I really wanted their visit to be nice because they were guests in the ministry. I then
noticed that the couch was still very messy. There were pieces of under garments out in the open. I tried to get up and
remove the mess without being noticed. Our guests left and I yelled at my family and told them that people could not tell
the difference between us and those that were not saved.
Your family and the two storey house appear to be representing the seminary. You don't belong to this religious
institution as you were visiting. There is blatant spiritual uncleanness here and you are angry that the philosophy and
teaching are actually of unbelief! The underwear may be pointing to spiritual immorality (could also be natural) existing
here. You are put off by these things and you would dearly love to do something about it.
Scene 2
My family and I were kneeling along the edge of a pond or lake. There was a drought and famine and we were very
hungry. There were the dead bodies of small animals laying on the ground (maybe squirrels). It appeared that we were
eating the animals. It seemed very unnatural but we were starving. Then we were trying to catch fish but we were dipping
our heads in the water and trying to catch the fish with our mouths.
If the pond or lake represent the things of the Spirit of God, then the seminary is not in it but only on the edge of it.
Despite the teaching, there is actually a famine and a drought existing there for the true heavenly food and drink of God's
Word and Spirit. Eating the bodies of small dead animals speak of the spiritually dead teachings, doctrines and sermons
of the seminary. In terms of evangelism the seminary has no equipping whatsoever. Their evangelistic efforts has more
to do with the intellect (head in water) than with repentant hearts. For this reason it is almost impossible for one to be
saved through their efforts (trying to catch the fish with our mouths).
-------------------------------------------------------
Scene 3
We were on the porch of my childhood home. One of my old female friends was on the porch next door and she was
holding a puppy. She seemed to be on trial and they were going to take the puppy from her because she was starving
the puppy. She was crying and seducing the mediator however I was very aware that she was faking. She was also
aware that I was aware. The puppy also did not appear to be what it was and the puppy was staring at me because it
knew that I knew. They told her that she could keep the puppy because the puppy was young and had not changed
much because of starving.
Your childhood home may be speaking of your own beliefs or the local church that your heart calls home. When you look
at the seminary (friend on porch next door) from your spiritual home perspective, you see the corruption, lies (faking) and
activities of seducing spirits (puppy, crying and seducing the mediator). Being on trial may be pointing to being
candidates of God's judgment.
Then my friend came over on our porch and the puppy looked normal now. We noticed a school of blind people walking
across the street. They had on matching shirts with their school logo on it so we knew they were blind. They were
leading each other by holding their arm out on the shoulder in front of them. Then, all of a sudden, they were not leading
each other anymore. They were still blind but they were walking without help but with exaggerated movements. My
friend's puppy tried to jump at them.
The blind people across the street is again portraying the people of the seminary. "They are the blind leading the blind"
of the scriptures. Soon they will be revealed for the blindness that they are in and this will result in much confusion (all of
a sudden, they were not leading each other anymore).
----------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for any help that you can offer in translating this. My seminary experience has been an eye opener to how
many people that are "in the church" are living in darkness and do not have a true knowledge of God. I guess that is what
it means when it says "ever learning and never coming into the full knowledge of God."
Yours in Christ,
Shawn

Words For The Coming Times

by Bob Jones & Rick Joyner
Transcribed from the Prophetic tape of the month by Josiah Friberg, shortened by Robert I Holmes: March 1998.
This prophetic word was given during a New Year's Eve service on December 31, 1997.
Copyright MorningStar Ministries.
BOB'S PROPHETIC WORD:

I. WARNING TO SPOUSES, ESPECIALLY HUSBANDS
Husbands, love your wives. Quit taking your wives for granted. Your first priority is the Lord, and the second is
your mate. Husbands, give your wives some time. Get rid of all anger and bitterness. Those who have this right will
be used as marriage counselors in the church. Anger by itself is flesh, but if you let it get a root in you, it becomes
spirit, and you become defiled. Because of your anger, the enemy can lead you into all kinds of immorality through
the access he gets through your mind, your anger. Do warfare with that anger. Get rid of it. Don't hide it any more. If
you're angry, it's your sin, not your mate's. It's because you haven't forgiven. Husbands are so busy that they tend to
leave out their mate. Delegate personal time with and for her every week. The Lord is warning husbands about this
because they can so quickly lose it all. Deal with that anger. Forgive. Bring it out into the open.
II. WE HAVE ABOUT NINE MONTHS OF PREPARATION (JAN-SEP) TO PUT ON CHRIST
Prophets stand in a window and see what will happen in the world. But now, the Lord has told Bob to step out of
the window "into" it. The vision that he has received over many years is not going to delay any longer. Keith has got
a message that we have about 9 months of preparation, of putting on Christ for what is about to happen. I don't
think we have until 2,000. I think we've got about 9 months. Some of these things, like Mammoth Lake, are going to
happen before that. The trembling and things are going to happen. Some of the major things aren't going to happen
for 9 months.
III. THE WHITE HORSE HAS BEEN RUNNING SINCE 1975. AIDS & VENEREAL DISEASES
The "white horse" in Revelation that Jim B. was talking about. When did he start running? The book of Revelation is
a love letter to the bride. He's dealing with sin there. And He's purifying for Himself a bride. He wants your children,
and He wants you so that you'll raise them right. In 1975 God told me what the white horse was. Satan is on him
and he is riding him. He is heroine, crack cocaine, drugs, pharmacia, sorcery, the magical arts. He went forth
conquering; he didn't need a sword. Heroine is called "white horse." When did he start to run. He justified all kinds
of immorality where people could get high and do whatever their evil heart desired. God also told him in 1975 that
there would be a venereal disease among homosexuals [AIDS] that could not be cured. And we've said that it
would mutate over and over, and now it is muting into the third stage which is much more violent. God told me to tell
the body of Christ: If you don't want AIDS, then don't be a partaker of the sin of it. If you don't want these new
venereal diseases, then don't be a partaker of the sins involved in these things. Stay out of immorality. God is going
to begin the greatest healing that you have ever dreamed of because you are going to need it to live. God is going to
move tremendously and supernaturally by healings. Doctors and lawyers and the dollar bill have become our gods.
The Lord is a God of healing. God has waited for a people who will line up with his cause, his side, and his will.
IV. GREAT EARTHQUAKES, SUITCASE NUCLEAR BOMBS, VOLCANOES, VIRUSES,

ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, GEOGRAPHIC SHAKING & RESHAPING, FLOODS, ETC. WHEN WILL
THIS NATION REPENT?
When our cities are leveled. I don't like this thought, but I'm not the only one having these visions. We're going to
have entire cities leveled. I know of a city that is going to be leveled by a storm. I know of a lot of Midwest cities
that are going to get five feet of rain just like that. Do you have any idea what will happen to a city that is used to
getting 24-36 inches of rain in a year, if they get five foot of it in two or three days? I was told that Hurricane Danny
(which He revealed to us right before it happened exactly how it was going to move) was a parable that He was
trying to show to the prophets. That whole hurricane was a warning to the United States, and if they want it, they
can have it. I'm telling you, when people of old cried out, "God, we are not able to stand it." Holy people and holy
prophets cried out and they stood in the gap, God relented of the judgment. Now there are going to be cities leveled
that can't be stopped. But they can be warned; and only those who want to be there can be there. I can't stop the
leveling of it, but I can tell you this: God will warn. He will warn those cities. I'VE BEEN TELLING PEOPLE FOR
A YEAR TO GET OUT OF LOS ANGELES. They tell me that they're really brave out there. (sigh) I'm not that
brave. Because that bravery is against God. IF I LIVED IN LOS ANGELES, I'D GET OUT. I want to tell you
something. The EARTHQUAKE is not the only thing you got to worry about in Los Angeles, and I'm not sure it will
be first. In a vision, I saw suitcases being smuggled in by terrorists into California. They had NUCLEAR BOMBS in
them. Two days after I brought this in Nashville, a Baptist man came and brought the same word, only he didn't
bring it as a prophecy; he brought it as a reality. He had been in Russia, and he knew one of Yeltsin's right hand men
who told him: "There are 126 SUITCASE ATOMIC BOMBS MISSING from our arsenal. And we know they
have been sold to terrorists, and we believe they are trying to get them into the United States and Israel." I don't
believe we've got to 2,000. I've been asking the church to begin to intercede that these suitcases be caught; that
these terrorists be caught. Because Satan intends to start the THIRD WORLD WAR ahead of time. We are going
to have a third world war. It's going to happen. But I'm sure it's not going to happen before the timing that has been
set. [If] one of those explode in San Francisco, we'd have bombers immediately on their way with atomic warheads
and we'd be in a Third World War. By the way, all of your money would be worthless then. And everything that you
live by would be worthless. What would you do for WATER? That would be blown up; you wouldn't have any
water. AND THAT'S [WATER] THE MAIN DANGER IN CALIFORNIA. Those things are going to happen.
Do you know what's around Mammoth Lake and some of those places? All the water flumes would break to Los
Angeles. There's a dam there called Hoover. When that thing breaks, have you any idea of how many? There's 25
million people it would affect. When that thing breaks, I saw underneath the Salton Sea, and I've spoke that the real
trembling and everything would begin around the Salton Sea, and that the next warning would come around the
Salton Sea. Well, it did. Joshua Tree and Landers, is where this last one came, which was a warning! I believe the
next one is getting ready to happen when this volcano will erupt when the plates can't take the pressure anymore.
And I believe the pressure are melting the plates down there to where this has got to be vented, and these
earthquakes are just a sign of what is getting ready to happen. It's getting ready to blow! When it does, it will break
loose all the way to the Sea of Cortez [the Gulf of California], right up the Los Angeles river. And that plate in there
will separate from the United States, and you can drive a boat up that river. You can go from the Gulf of Cortez to
the Pacific Ocean [Bob mistakenly said the "Atlantic" ocean]. And Death Valley will be a great inland sea. And we
aren't far from that. I really expect though, something Jim Bakker said, even before this happens, OUR
ECONOMY GETS DESTROYED WITH A GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN. TOKYO. Some of those
around; it's already started. And they pull all of our money out, and our stock market plummets (and it's in the
Shepherd's Rod). So all these things are ready. They aren't....This isn't something we're trying to scare you with. It's
something we're trying to prepare you to SURVIVE. For one of the worst things that is going to happen to many of
you at that time is FEARING OF FEAR. It's running around like a chicken with his head cut off. It's time for you to
get grounded in your faith. You're going to have to put on Christ to survive. You're going to have to take off the old
man and the unregenerated nature, and put on Christ.
V. WHAT SHOULD WE DO TO PREPARE FOR THE COMING JUDGMENT & TRIBULATION?

So what I encourage you to do it to go to your prayer closet. I believe the main thing He's talking about is: "Bob,
step out of seeing it, INTO IT." And I think the main thing He's talking to all of you about is HEARING AND
SEEING. Our job, I think it's coming to an end of hearing and seeing for you, now preparing you to hear and see
for yourselves. If you hear from God...And I believe there's coming an awesome famine of "hearing" of the Word of
God, not that there's coming a famine of the Word of God or of the revelation, but the church has got dull ears. And
the Charismatics have gotten so used to saying, "Thus saith the Lord...Thus saith the Lord. There's your Cadillac.
There's your million dollars. Or you're going to have five wives instead of just marrying one." That has dulled our
ears. And I've noticed recently when I've gone to some churches, the Holy Spirit is still speaking. But just as fast as
He speaks and brings a word, somebody else jumps up with a second prophecy, and it's different. And they don't
remember the first one that the Lord said. I'm telling you, the Lord don't speak two ways. Hearing we better listen.
And when we hear a prophecy, we'd better candle it. If God is speaking (and I believe we've heard Him speak
tonight through Jim Bakker)...if He is speaking, then we become accountable for hearing. And by hearing, we better
candle the word of God by the Logos. And when we go to the Logos, and we say, "yea, that was God", we don't
need another word until we run that one down. We're saturated with these words, and none of them are meaning
anything to us. We need to HEAR, REALLY HEAR. And when we go to the Word, and we candle it with the
Word, we get a vision of what God is saying. In this Word, when you go, you not only hear, you see. And when you
get the vision (My people perish for lack of vision), you get God's vision, then you know what to do. And I believe
He's speaking to you people, and we're trying to get the dullness out of your ears, and trying to get your eyes to see
- so that what you get, you can turn it back to God and say, "do it Lord." If the Lord gives you His Word, it's so
you intercessors can return it to Him and give Him permission to do it. And then He becomes accountable for it.
God becomes accountable for what He speaks. His Word will not return to Him void because any time He speaks a
word, He sends enough power to accomplish it. And so when these other words come that are distracting, it's
dulling your ears. Anything that you hear, and see what He's really saying on, and you say, "do it Lord", He becomes
accountable and He'll do it. But if you hear the Word of the Lord and say, "let's get another one. I need to run to a
prophet for another word." No you don't! You need to run to God for the Word! And let the prophet come and
confirm it to you. You've been babies long enough; grow up! Get the Word for yourselves, and let us get up here
and explain it to you. It's time for the body of Christ to hear for themselves and to put on Christ. Quit chasing
prophets! And start treating them like human beings like the rest of you. That's what we are. We can't function if you
treat us like that. Fifty years ago Israel came into being. First comes the natural, then comes the spiritual. He is
bringing forth the spiritual Israel of God right now...in a covenant wedding. Your eyes mustn't be on the gifts any
more, but on the Giver. Your eyes mustn't be on things any more, but on the Creator. This is a Jubilee year! It's
been 50 years. And it's time that you get out of jail. I believe you have been in prison in your dependency upon man.
And God is saying "Start depending upon Me." "I'm bringing My bride forth now, but she's going to have to depend
on Me; I'm the Husband. And whatever she needs, I'll furnish it." "I'm going to give you My heart. I'm now going to
begin to DO My Word. I have given My Word.' Since 1975, when the white horse began to run, and the red horse
has been running ever since Anwar Sadat was killed. There's been war in the world. It's going to keep increasing.
What's your job? FEAR NOT, BE OF GREAT COURAGE! You're going to cross this time as they crossed the
Jordan. Be courageous; be strong in the Lord! Get acquainted with Him. Get to know Him, as a wife knows her
husband. That's what He's called you to. That's why He's saying, "Get your marriages right." How can you get right
with Him if your own marriage at home isn't right? Get relationship right. Work on that immediately, because He's
coming.
FOLLOW-UP WORDS FROM RICK:

I've been around and seen a lot of things happen. Bob, out of anyone that I know, has the most accurate ministry in
predicting such things as earthquakes, but other events as well. Predicting their date, even the San Francisco
earthquake. He predicted the time of it. He predicted that it would be 7 on the Richter scale, and a number of other things
that all happened. One thing we never understood until it happened was that he said the whole world would witness that
quake. Of course, we couldn't figure that out, but the whole world was tuned into the "world" series when that quake took
place, and many other things. But the Lord is revealing THIS IS A VERY SOBER TIME; this really is a sober time; there
is a change going on. There's a shifting; there's a different way these things are being spoken tonight, a different
anointing, because THESE THINGS REALLY ARE ABOUT TO COME TO PASS. We do have SOME TIME TO GET
READY. If we repent and obey the Lord, it doesn't matter how messed up we are and how far out of whack we are, how
joined to the world we are. With the Lord a day is as a 1,000 years, and a 1,000 years is as a day. And He can do in us
in one day what we think could take years and years and years.
But I tell you, we are about to experience, the world is about to experience greater darkness! We are coming to the
fulfillment of Isaiah 60:1,2 when He says, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the GLORY of the LORD has risen
upon you, for behold DARKNESS will cover the earth and DEEP DARKNESS the peoples, but HIS GLORY will rise upon
you, and HIS GLORY will appear upon you." This is our finest hour! This is the finest hour. This is the time that all of the
prophets that were looking into these things ahead; they all desired to see. The angels desired to look into these days.
We've been chosen to live in these times. And I believe our children are the forefront; they are that generation. Our
children are a chosen generation. He's looking for Joshua's and Caleb's, from our generation, to help lead them in. God is
calling; God is speaking.
One thing they did in New Zealand when I was down there. They came and interviewed me one time [I didn't want this to
happen but] I was coming down there one time as a prophet to the nation. I don't like that kind of advertisement, but, so
the newspapers were there to interview me. And they said, "Did the Lord show you anything?" And the Lord showed me
a lot of things when I was on the airplane to New Zealand. One of the things He showed me was that there was going to
be an attempt to overthrow their government, to bring their government down. And they thought that was ridiculous;
nothing like that had ever happened. So they printed that: "Prophet comes to New Zealand", front-page, and all of this,
and the guy was pretty respectful, but you know, some of these things were made to look pretty ridiculous. The only
thing is, they happened that day! And it got people's attention.
The next time I was there, they went into a serious depression after the 1987 Stock Market crash. We had a recession,
they had a depression; they didn't recover for years. I was down there, and I witnessed the greatest offering I've ever seen
ever taken up anywhere for missions. People were taking their shoes off, their rings, etc, anything of value because they
were so touched by the need to reach souls. And I got up then and I prophesied. I said: "Your depression is over for this
whole nation because of this offering." And that looked ridiculous at the time. Two years later when I was down there the
papers had marked the end of their depression from the week I prophesied that because of that. God has used us in this
way in a lot of places; He's never done it a lot here. I asked the Lord, "Why didn't that make the Wall Street Journal?" It
would have looked ridiculous then, maybe for a few years, but then they could have gone back and had referenced me
saying all of that.
He said, "If they had done that..." He said, "When they do that, when they start printing it, it's going to be because
ECONOMIC JUDGMENT IS IMMINENT. He said that the Wall Street Journal will print those things, and warn them,
because God even wants to warn Wall Street. He wants to warn people. His warning is going out everywhere. Have you
noticed that movies are far more prophetic than even the body of Christ today? And it's been that way for years. And I
take responsibility for this as much as anything. And it's because God has not had a credible prophetic ministry that He
could speak through. There's so much flakiness. We have prophesied so many time, so many things from our own minds
and from our own hearts. And I know people who really are seeing these things right now.
At the same time, the true warnings are going out. There will be an abundance of warnings that are from the enemy. Did
you ever wonder why Paul was so upset by that demonic girl following him around, saying, "These are servants of the
Most High God who have come to proclaim to you the way of salvation"? Because no one will come to the Lord because
of the enemy's voice. They can only come when the Father draws them. And the enemy was just trying to "muddy the
waters" of salvation. And listen, you're going to hear all kinds of cults and New Age groups and everybody else
prophesying these same things. And they're trying to muddy the waters. But I tell you, THESE ARE SOBER TIMES,
BUT IT'S ALSO THE TIMES OF THE DEEPEST DARKNESS WHEN WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE GREATEST
GLORY.
So, whatever He gives us right now, DO NOT DELAY ANY LONGER! GET YOUR HOUSES IN ORDER! GET YOUR
FAMILIES IN ORDER! KNOW GOD! KNOW HIS VOICE! HAVE YOUR TRUST IN HIM! HAVE YOUR SECURITY IN HIM!
KNOW HIM. WE MUST KNOW HIM AS OUR HEALER! As Dr. Craig shared with us, a pediatrician in this church,
antibiotics are not going to work any longer. We're at the very verge. The next mutation. Not only are the antibiotics not
going to work because the diseases, the viruses have been getting stronger and stronger, so the antibiotics had to get
stronger and stronger to deal with them, now we're getting to the point where we can't do it any more. And the next virus,
we're not going to be able to deal with. And not only that, because we've been using antibiotics, our own bodies have not
been developing their own immune systems. We are on the verge of unbelievable catastrophes if we don't know Jesus as
our Healer! We've got to know Him. Start going to Him first. Don't be under condemnation if you do have to get medicine,
if you do have to go to the doctors. Don't do things crazy and dangerous if you don't have the faith now. But determine
that you are going to grow in faith. Turn to God first; pray first. Start looking for Him to heal first, and then look to other
help. And determine you're going to grow in that.
Start praying over your families. Lay hands on them. I try to lay hands on my kids once every day to say, even if it's a
brief prayer, whatever, to say some prayer over them every day. We've got to cover our families and each other, and we've
got to know Jesus as our Healer! Pretty soon we're not going to be able to turn to medicine any more. That time is
coming. And we're going to have to know Him as our Provider in every way. Don't wait. As it says in Psalms 32, "Seek
the Lord in a time when He can be found. For in a flood of great waters they shall not reach Him." Don't wait until the
flood comes to try to reach Him. Find the Lord now.
We believe the Lord has shown us that we do have until at least November before the real serious stuff starts to break
out. There's going to be some serious stuff, but I mean the REALLY BAD STUFF. And then, He may even say, "Okay,
you've got until next year." We don't know. But we believe that He said this year, okay, I'm giving you this year. I'm not
going to waste it. We don't want to waste it. And I'm not saying we need to run and hoard, and do things like that...that's
not what He's talking about. He's talking about KNOW GOD, SEEK THE LORD. Get so passionate for God, for His
Word, for His Scriptures, that you become contagious, that you infect everyone around you. We've got to do it folks.

Bones
by Bryan Hupperts
February 27, 1998
"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God."
Heb. 3: 12
Heb.11 is often referred to as the Hall of Faith. It lists many who believed God, who did exploits by the Spirit of
God, and commends them all as having pleased Him. As I began rereading this chapter, I began to notice something
I’ve never heard preached. It begins to speak of those who had promises from God but died without inheriting those
promises. What is remarkable is these people are listed as also having pleased God. They died in faith.
The scripture also speaks of those who died in the desert…and died in unbelief. These people had been slaves in a
foreign land. God delivered them from the land of Egypt and led them through the Red Sea. They walked through
the desert headed towards the Promised Land. After seeing the delivering hand of God, after having been
eyewitnesses to the miracles and provision of the Lord, after seeing their enemies destroyed, after seeing the
manifest presence of the Lord in a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night…they refused to believe God in a
heartfelt way. They lived in unbelief and died in unbelief. Their bones lay bleached in the desert sand as a memorial
against them as having not pleased God.
What is the difference between dying in faith and dying in unbelief? It begins with how you choose to live. Either you
embrace the Lord and His promises and hold to them no matter what the circumstance, or you choose not to believe
Him. It all boils down to a choice. We each have to pass this single judgment on the Living God; is he faithful or is he
not? When you have settled this in your heart, you will know if you will finally die in faith or in unbelief.
Will you be one of whom it is said, "Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints?" or one
whose bones lie forgotten - bleached in the sun-scorched shifting sands?
There are hard times coming for the church in the west. I see the rise of a man-as-god based religion that embraces
everything except orthodox Judaism and Christianity. Mankind will be seen as individual cells who together
collectively make up "god". This will be the modern equivalent of saying "Caesar is Lord" and will spark bitter
persecution against the saints of the Most High.
There is this naive mentality in the west that somehow we’re above persecution and martyrdom. The truth is that is
coming. We will have to testify that Jesus is alone Lord of all. The blood of the saints will be spilled anew.
My wife and I have walked through several bitter trials in the last 8 years. We were swindled last year by a
"Christian" businessman who was finally convicted in a court for multiple crimes against many innocent victims. The
situation left us devastated. What probably hurt more were the accusations from Christians that followed…against
us! There was a common theme of, "if you’re so spiritual, and walk with God, how come this misfortune happened
to you?"
The implication was that somehow we must have been living in compromise and sin and were openly being judged
by God for private sins. The idea here is that God only promises blessing to his children and would protect anyone
living clean, right? The final bow came when a minister, servant of the Lord, asked me mockingly if anything good
ever happened to me. I was simply crushed.
Our "bless me" theology has no room for suffering and pain. We’re uncomfortable with reality and assume that if
disaster strikes, it must be deserved judgment from the hand of God.
It has been my experience as a now seasoned saint that it is often those who walk closest to the Master who endure
the fiercest trials; and it isn’t because God is somehow mad at them. The devil doesn’t need to bother with those
comfortable saints who aren’t bothering him and his kingdom.
My testimony after all of this is that God is Faithful. He has never forsaken me and never will. What can separate me
from his love? I believe the answer is only self-willed, decisive unbelief.
Paul wrote, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, ‘For your sake we are being put to death all day long; We
were considered as sheep to the slaughter.’ But in all these things we OVERWHELMING CONQUER through
Him who loved us. Rom.8: 35-37.
The saints of Paul’s day were experiencing all things he listed. Friends and neighbors and sons and daughters were
being put to death for their testimony of Jesus. I believe these things are coming to the western church. What would
exempt us? Paul wrote that "in all these things" meaning that we may have to experience these things for our
testimony of Christ.
The hand of death will come for each of (save for those who are caught up!). When the books are opened …Which
way will your memorial read? How will your bones testify of you? There is a resurrection of the righteous and the
damned. Which will be your portion?

The Books Are Sealed

Bill Somers
A Look at the sealed books, what are they why are they sealed, when will they be unsealed.
There are three references to sealed book(s) in the Old Testament. The most well known is that in Daniel. Here is part of
it:
Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall
run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
We find two references in Isaiah on the same topic.
Isaiah 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Isaiah 29:
10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets
and your rulers, the seers hath He covered.
11 And the vision of all has become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to
one that is learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee"; and he saith, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, "Read this, I pray thee"; and he saith, "I am
not learned."
Later in the same chapter of Isaiah, the Lord speaks of a future day when things will be different.
Isaiah 29:18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Some writers claim that the book sealed is just the book of Daniel and do not see the connection between that reference
and the others mentioned here. But the reference in Isaiah uses the words 'testimony' and 'law'. These words commonly
refer to the Word of God. See Psalm 119 for example. The quote from Isaiah 29 says the people have no vision. And it's
not just a case of not being able to read, the unlearned one can't read. It's a case of not being able to understand what is
being read. The learned one cannot read it because it is sealed. That is he can tell you exactly what it says, but he has
no idea what it really means!
This speaks of the condition of the Church where we all have a good idea of what the bible says, but cannot come to any
agreement about what it means! The Book That is Sealed is The Bible! The entire bible, not just Daniel.
There is one sense in which the Word is a Sealed book to the unbeliever. In that the natural man cannot understand the
Word since things of the Spirit must be understood by the Spirit. That is with the Spirit of God to enable you to
understand His Word.
Yet these references are talking about God's people not being able to understand the Word. Here is an example form 2nd
Corinthians:
2 Corinthians 3:
14 But their minds were blinded; and up until this day the same veil remaineth untaken away in the reading of
the old testament, which veil is done away with in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their hearts.
16 Nevertheless when they shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.
Notice this passage speaks of a veil blinding their minds. Yet there is a promise that the veil will be removed when they
turn to the Lord. Let's not presume to think that this applies only to the old testament Hebrew people. It speaks just as
surely to the church of today.
In Jesus' ministry, many of the things that he taught his disciples fell on deaf ears. [ … seal the law among my disciples
….] They also suffered from a certain spiritual blindness. For instance:
Mark 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him.
Luke 2:50 And they understood not the saying which He spoke unto them.
Luke 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not; and
they were afraid to ask Him about that saying.
Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, neither
knew they the things which were spoken.
John 10:6 This parable Jesus spoke unto them, but they understood not the things of which He spoke
unto them.
John 16:
16 "A little while, and ye shall not see Me; and again a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the
Father."
17 Then said some of His disciples among themselves, "What is this that He saith unto us, `A little while,
and ye shall not see Me; and again a little while, and ye shall see Me,' and, `because I go to the Father'?"
18 They said therefore, "What is this that He saith, `A little while'? We cannot tell what He saith."
They too knew their scriptures, and heard Jesus' words for themselves, yet could not come to any agreement on the
meaning. Yet for them, there came a day when Jesus opened their understanding and explained the scriptures. That day
is coming for us, and soon.
In Revelations the prophet John witnesses a scene involving a book or scroll. The book is sealed!
Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the
back, sealed with seven seals.
Notice that the book is described as being written within and on the back. Many prophecy commentators claim that this
scroll is the 'title deed to planet earth'. But it is much more than that.
Here are two old testament references to writings that use very similar language. The stone tablets Moses received were
written on both sides and the scroll Ezekiel saw was written the same way.
Exodus 32:
15 And Moses turned and went down from the mount, and the two tablets of the testimony were in his hand.
The tablets were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
16 And the tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tablets.
Ezekiel 2:
9 And when I looked, behold, a hand was sent unto me; and lo, a scroll of a book was therein.
10 And He spread it before me; and it was written within and without, and there were written therein
lamentations and mourning and woe.
Now the feature of being written on both sides has two purposes.
1. It allows to see that there is a link between the tablets, the scroll and the book. It lets us see that they are actually
differing images of the same thing. That they all represent the Word of God.
2. It gives us a clue to the nature of the Word of God. When something is written on both sides, then naturally you
cannot see all of the writing at once. That is part of the writing is visible or revealed and part is not visible. It is covered,
hidden or sealed! Part of it can be understood right away and part of it cannot.
In Hebrews 5, the Word of God is compared to food. Some of it is like milk, easily digested and suited for newborns.
Some of it is like meat, requiring some effort to digest and suited for the strong and mature. This is the same as saying
that some can be understood right away and some takes a while.
Now what we are getting at here is that the book Daniel talks about as sealed is the book sealed with 7 seals in
Revelation 5. And the fact that it is sealed means that parts of it cannot be understood, until the seals come off! No man
is worthy to take the book and open the seals. Only Jesus, who is the Word of God, can remove the seals. That is to
say, man cannot know God by his own efforts, God must reveal Himself.
Secondly, since the scroll represents the Word of God, and Jesus is the Word of God, then the vision of Jesus opening
the scroll is a vision of God revealing Himself. Like the Last book of the Bible:
It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Believe It Or Not
Paula Askew
Lately I have been given some strong words from the Lord to prophecy, this has been tuff for me because I'm a strong
believer in the River of God. Why I asked the Lord did He put that tree of knowledge there in His beautiful garden? Why
Lord did you want there to be any thing that would give an enemy of Yours' ammunition to use against your creation? I
said to the Lord; is it because of the fact that you were not concerned of the enemy? Or, was it because you knew that
what you create has a Life time warranty. He has in His grace to me, said this; "Why seek ye the living among the dead?
Why do you want old manna that worms eat up? Why are My people slow of heart to believe Me that I am He that will
cover them with truth? Why must I have to prove My love to them in that they are seeking a sign? Can I not do what I say
I will do, is My arm short? My ear deaf? Why must I turn My Face, because of the iniquities of My loved ones? When I
long for their embrace, to send My Comfort; to reveal the Wind of My presence. Why must I suffer their rejection of My
holy council? Who was it who gave His Life for their sins? Who gave His riches, for their poverty? Who stayed three days
and three nights away from His Father, so that they could live with the Father? Was it not Emanuel! Did not Noah
escape, did not Jonah, raise from his water grave. Did not the Rock follow the children, and the pillar of Fire give lead to
their path at night? Can I not show even more kindness, to those who love Me, even unto their lives? As for why there is a
tree of knowledge, ask your self this; why do My people die for lack of knowledge? Because, they have rejected My
Word, Me!
Please understand that the rest He spoke to me I will just let you read it out of the word in Hosea 4:6-10.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject
thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children.
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their
doings.
For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they
have left off to take heed to the LORD. (Hosea 4:6-10)
I of course have repented from asking Him that silly question. I will go back to the River of God with a changed heart
towards it! Knowing now it is His way of carrying us through what He will be doing on this earth soon in letting the evil
generation know about His great Love towards those who have loved Him even at the cost of their lives. Those in heaven,
(souls' under the alter), and those here on the earth.
Please just read if you want, or send out, as you judge this word.
Your servant

Bowed Over
Carol Pack
I saw the Body of Christ bent over at the waist, as if their back was a table top. They were bent over because they felt
great oppression, as if their prayers were useless and the heavens were brass. This oppression kept them from doing
anything: prayer, intercession, prophesying, etc..... What I saw was a thin layer of "haze" or "smoke" or "cloud" just
above their bent bodies!
The Lord spoke to me and said that our perception of this "oppression" was wrong! It was not a brass lid holding us
down, but only an attempt of the enemy to make us think that it was solid and real. He told me to pray that the church
would see this "smoke screen" for what it was and to "unbow" ourselves and rise up above this thing and stand strong in
the face of it because the "time was very short!" He said that we did not have time to concentrate on anything, not any
weaknesses we think we might have and certainly not wallowing in the mire of self-pity over those weaknesses, only
doing His will, and His will was for us to be strong in His might and go forward in prayer and intercession and warfare in
His Name! We cannot allow ourselves to be "fooled" by the "smoke"! You've heard the old saying that behind every dark
cloud there is a silver lining? Well, I knew in the Spirit that if we would unbow ourselves and rise up above this "smoke",
that we would rise up into the blinding light and truth of the Lord and be empowered as never before!
…
Praise God! I am excited about what is happening, because it really is happening!!

Bravehearts Prophecy
Pricilla Van Sutphin
on 1-18-97 after watching "Braveheart" again, Heard "pen of a ready writer"

and received the following from the Holy Spirit.
I am calling for the a nation of deliverers if you will, skilled in all manner of warfare and talented in a variety of areas. Just
as the Scots fought with different weapons against others, like spears, swords, words, hatchets, axes , knives, etc.
So My warriors have been taught different methods of spiritual warfare. Their strategies will not be carnal as their
predecessors, nor will many of them fall as in the past to the enemy. I have gradually strengthened them through
suffering, pain, rejection, affliction, and persecution of all sorts.
They will be ready when THEY REALIZE THEIR TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON ME! (for all things) You will know them by
their humility and love and mercy for all mankind. All prejudice will be wiped and scoured away. No longer will the needs
of the few dominate but what matters to all, will matter to all of them.
They will walk in UNITY as all will be taught by ME, & you'll appreciate each others' differences instead of vying for power
and authority. TRUE AUTHORITY will matter more than man-made hierarchical authority. Like Wallace said in the movie;
"Men won't follow titles. They'll follow true COURAGE." MY ARMY WILL NOT SHRINK BACK!
They will take the land and they will not COMPROMISE in holiness. They will be 'holy unto the Lord'.
MARK MY WORDS !!! You will know them by the love they have for one another. NOT a superficial kind of politeness or
kindness, but true caring and sacrificial giving and generosity of spirit; a 'family' kind of relationship although family
concept has been lost in most places.
I AM CALLING OUT RESTORATION !!!

I AM CALLING OUT RECONCILIATION !!!
I AM CALLING OUT LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU !!!
I am declaring WAR on sin and evil, and the evil hordes behind them.
THIS IS THE HOUR OF LIBERATION !!!!! A DAY OF CELEBRATION !!!
Generations before you have longed to see these times and are watching as the great culmination of things begins to
unfold.
COME TO ME all of you who are heavy-laden. Spend yourselves on Me, and I will not disappoint or reject you. "Delight
yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." "Seek first the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness
and all these things will be added unto you."
Surely goodness and mercy will follow you all the days of your lives and you will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Me: Lord so many are under such hardship !?

Lord: I will release all that's needed in due time. Just as the Scots fought against so many and won with just a few, so
did Gideon, and so will today's Gideons. (God had previously years ago revealed His end-times army would be like
Gideon's in His hands) The GREATER things truly are coming and all men will bow to the King of Kings and the Lord of
Lords.
(Then heard scripture..." Unless the Lord had been my strength, I would have fainted..." along with understanding that the
mark of humility is the NOT taking credit or the glory unto themselves. nor considering ourselves more important than
others. There has been such a PRIDE of our own opinions in the church)
WHEN I LIFT MYSELF UP, THE NATIONS WILL TREMBLE !!!

ALL THE EARTH WILL BE SHAKEN !!!!
PREPARE YOUR HEARTS FOR THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD IS NEAR!!!
AWAKEN THOSE WHO SLEEP. CRY OUT ALOUD!!!!
SHOUT FROM THE ROOFTOPS WHAT YOU HEAR IN YOUR EAR!!!!
BE UNASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE!!!!
SOUND THE TRUMPET !!!!! SOUND THE ALARM !!!!
For God will SUDDENLY come into His temple. (for I dwell in the hearts of men)
The Lord used the word SUDDENLY at least 4-5 times in the preceding several months in His words to me. Also I'd had
a dream where I'm climbing a hill and it's snowy winter (like in the Midwest) a barren horizon, save for a big white house
and SUDDENLY a very large colorfully clothed (like the coat of many colors which represents the apostolic) Jesus
sweeps into the house.
God has indicated a special timing for His apostles and prophets to go forth in power of HIS LOVE. A river of HONEY(
His sweetness ) TO BE POURED OUT.

Bride Dream
Lori Reynolds
DREAM: I was wearing a modest wedding dress. I was waiting to go into a court room. I wandered into what I later found
out was the judge's chambers. I saw to my right, a couch with several pretty blouses on it, I tried a few on, and they were
all too small. I wandered around the corner, into another room and turned on the radio, it was blaring. I noticed the door
was open, and it led into the court room. I looked through the door at an angle, and I caught a glimpse of the judge, so I
shrank back quickly, I did not want him to see me. I went to put my dress back on, (I had been wearing a blouse that
was too little,) and as I bent down to adjust the dress around the bottom, I looked at my legs. They were the legs of a
man. Then I woke up.
This dream is concerning the Bride of Christ. (Where is the Groom?) And it appears she is awaiting judgment. She is in
the judge's chambers. She is preoccupied by all that she sees in there. She tries on other 'garments.' They don't fit, yet
she continues to try to wear them. She goes and turns on a radio, loud music is blaring. This has to do with her hearing.
Is she preoccupied with other things so she can't hear His voice? "Behold the Judge is standing at the door." James 5:9
She was afraid to see her judge. This next part is the whole reason I am sharing this. I have told a few people about this
dream and today the Lord showed me to share it with all. I was reading in Psalms 147:10 "He does not delight in the
strength of horses, He takes no pleasure IN THE LEGS OF MEN The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him In those
who hope in His mercy."
The bride is walking ON THE LEGS OF MAN! This is our own human strength. She is not walking in the Spirit. She is
awaiting judgement.
"The punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the punishment of Sodom
Which was overthrown in a moment With no hand to help her." LAM 4:6
CORPORATE REPENTANCE. THE LORD IS INTERESTED IN OUR RESPONSE. HE WILL TAKE PLEASURE IN
THOSE WHO FEAR HIM , AND HOPE IN HIS MERCY.
His mercy is everlasting, to those who seek mercy. Thank God for the blood of Christ.
In the Awesome name of Jesus,

Begin to rejoice
Glenda Portesi
While reading all the posts on the cracked and swinging doors from the East, South and North, I wondered where the
West fit into the picture and was reminded of something I was given on 5/1/98. I wasn't certain if it was from the Lord, so I
set it aside for the time being. I decided to send it on for your discernment.
"Begin to rejoice over the day of My visitations, for they shall surely come. I am about to move in great power from out of
the west of this nation. I will come like a consuming fire from out of the west. North, East, and South will converge
together with the West, consuming the Mid-west. I will come, whether they are ready or not. The center will be the last
because of their stubbornness and self- sufficiency. It wasn't always that way. There was a time when the people in that
place relied on Me for their sufficiency, but now they do everything all by themselves. They no longer rely on Me for the
rain and the sun in season and out of season. They do things their own way and even when I help them, they never stop
to consider that it was I who did it. So, the fire and the rain of My Spirit will begin at the boundaries and meet in the
middle, the greatest of which will come from out of the West"
In January, I posted a dream about a Golden Waterfall that I didn't really understand. The interesting thing to me at the
time was, that the only people I remember who responded to it were people from California. I think now, that the dream is
connected to this recent word about the West. Why? California is known as the "Gold Rush" state, so I am posting it
again with reasons for possible ties to the state.
Dream on 1/4/98: I was standing on a rocky place, overlooking a beautiful beach. I was told that the beach use to be
advertised as a very nice beach and a lot of people came there, but now it was being promoted as A MOST UNUSUAL
PLACE. [Sunny California has always been known as a great vacation spot and place to live, a lot of people flocking
there to do both. I think the reason it is being promoted as a MOST UNUSUAL place is because of the revival that is
going to hit that place!] As I looked across the water, I saw a very large waterfall. It was very high and had a lot of
beautiful water flowing out of it. I thought it was the most awesome looking waterfall I had ever seen, until I saw the one
next to it. It was much WIDER and looked like it was MADE OF GOLD, and it glimmered in different shades of gold as
though the SUNLIGHT was shining on it. I had never seen any sight as beautiful. [Even though California has a lot of
beautiful waterfalls, they are not the most awesome of the ones in North America, the most awesome of which is Niagara
falls. I think the first waterfall was representing the move of God from the North, and the second one representing the one
that is coming from out of the West. The fact that the golden one was wider, says that it will be covering a much wider
area. There is a lot of desert to soak, between California and the Mid-west!] Not far from the Golden Waterfall was a
bridge that the people had recently built and they left holes along both sides of the edges of the bridge. I was told that
they did this because there was so much thermal activity in the area (underground) and the water would be able to
escape out through the holes, creating many fountains of water along each side of the bridge. The fountains seemed to
FLOW CONTINUOUSLY, and I wondered how anyone could walk across, and get to the other side (where the waterfall
was) without getting wet. [Between the waterfall and fountains CONTINUOUSLY FLOWING, I think this represents a
move of God that will produce a revival that will never stop until the coming of His Son, and there will be a profuse and
powerful anointing flowing....California has a lot of underground activity, but instead of the dread that always comes with
the possibility of another great earth quake, I think God could be saying that this one will produce life and not death. I
have been given more on where the life giving one will originate, but due to the length of this, I will have to send it later] As
I continued to watch, the fountains began to change color, taking on the hues of a sunset in the sky. They were beautiful
looking fountains, especially against the background of the vivid blue sky, with the waterfall being the focal point of the
whole scene. [This is probably a move that will not be coming out of southern California. You can hardly ever see any
blue sky there for the smog, let alone a very vivid one. I would describe this last scene as GLORY and POWER!]
Waiting to possess the whole land!

The Dancing Bride

Jane Clark
I believe God is raising up the creative arts as part of the full expression of the soul and spirit towards
God in these last days. I want to show from the Song of Solomon, and other scriptures, just how
important dance is in these days. I believe it is key in many areas, but this article is about the dancing
bride.
Spontaneous dance can be said to be full expression of the soul in movement. We do it at weddings, … when
victory came in the Second World War there was dancing in the streets. We dance for joy; we dance when words
are not enough to express what we are feeling.
These are the days when God is preparing a bride for Jesus, and we are getting ready for the marriage
supper of the Lamb. It is a time to learn how to dance. When we contemplate God and His grace in love it
should be enough to set us dancing.
"The Message" (M) version of the Bible, psalm 89 v 15- 18… says.
"Blessed are the people who know the password of praise, who shout on parade in the high presence of God.
Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do--- they can’t keep it quiet!
"Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us—you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air! All we are and
we have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!"
This is a time of cleansing and restoration, not only in the spiritual realm, but in the realm of the soul, so that we can
see the King in His glory and be able to give free expression of this in a creative way. Christ says he will restore our
souls Ps 23 v 3.
I believe that it is only with the restored soul that we are able to enter fully into the joy of our love
relationship with Jesus. And it is only when we are with Him in the secret place, communing with Him,
that the full restoration takes place. Like all true lovers, He is the one who takes the initiative, wooing us
as only He knows how. Only he has the key to our innermost places, only He knows the treasures He has
placed within us, treasures that delight and satisfy His soul.
We can then reach the level of Mary who was able to respond to her Lord’s request in full assurance that all He
would ask of her was good for her. " Behold, the maidservant of the Lord, let it be unto me according to your word.
Then with the help of the Spirit, and the full cooperation of her soul, she was able to say "My soul magnifies the
Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior" .
The key scripture I want to concentrate on is in Song of Solomon Chapter 6
In chapter 6 v 4 – 1,2 is the beloved’s description of the one he loves. He, the Beloved, is overcome by her beauty,
and says "Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me" Ch6 v 5 NKJV.
Then follows v 8&9
"There is no one like her on earth, never has been, never will be.
She’s a woman beyond compare. My dove is perfection.
Pure and innocent on the day she was born, and cradled in joy by her mother.
Everyone who came by to see her exclaimed and admired her-
All the fathers and mothers, the neighbors and friends blessed and praised her."(M)
"Return, return oh Shulamite:

Return, return, that we may look on you!
What would you see in the Shulamite.

As it were the dance of the double camp" (Mahanaim) (NKJV) New King James v 13
"Dance, dance, dear Shulamite, Angel-Princess!

Dance, and we’ll feast our eyes on your grace!
Everyone wants to see the Shulamite dance
her victory dances of love and peace" (M) The Message (Modern translation) v 13
The above speaks to me of Christ’s love for the bride of Christ. The wooing of the bride, the Shulamite has taken
place. Again and again He speaks to her as my sister, my friend, my fair one my love, my dove, my perfect one. He
tells about what he sees smells, and how he is affected, yea overwhelmed by the experience. This is truly a loved
one, a desired one, desired body and soul to be his possession. He longs for the consummation of the love that He
might find rest and the fullness of His desires satisfied.
Then after this paen of praise, and her return, He wants to show her off to all watching, "Return that we
may look on you" And then she dances. He is proud of her, this princess, this bride. His graceful one, his
beautiful one.
"Return, return oh Shulamite:

Return, return, that we may look on you!
What would you see in the Shulamite.
As it were the dance of the double camp" (Mahanaim) NKJV
"Dance, dance, dear Shulamite, Angel-Princess!

Dance, and we’ll feast our eyes on your grace!
Everyone wants to see the Shulamite dance
her victory dances of love and peace" (M)
She dances a bridal dance, a dance of restoration, displaying her beauty for her Lord’s pleasure.
Our response to our Saviours extravagant love
Just as the Shulamite, who was reluctant to open up herself to the beloved, so are we hesitant about responding fully
to the intimate relationship that Christ longs to have with us. The parallels are so close.
The Shulamite, after tasting the presence of her loved one, grew hungry in His absence, and that hunger grew to a
lust that had to be satisfied, and to a state where she would never leave Him again. "I held him and I would not let
Him go" Ch 3v 4. And then to a security that said " I am my beloved’s and His desire is towards me" Ch 7 v 10, to
a place of leaning on the beloved Ch 8 v 5. She went from the poverty of a worker in the field to a position as
princess in the eyes of her beloved, one who was made beautiful by His love. It was then that she danced
the dance.
The dance of the double camp, Mahanaim;
This is a dance of returning, restoration, rejoicing and the consummation of God’s grace and love over us.
Mahanaim was the name given by Jacob to the place where God met with him when he was on the way home to
face Esau, on the way home to face his destiny. He went out with just a staff and came back with so much that he
divided the company into 2 camps, so fruitful had the Lord made him. Here Jacob received his new name Israel,
Prince with God, and God’s name was joined to Jacob’s. A time of great weakness, and impartation of strength.
Mahanaim magnified grace and truth by contrasting the unworthy smallness of Jacob in his departure from the land
(Amos 7 v 2,5) with his massive fruitful return. Back to the land and the promised inheritance.
The bride of Christ is called to respond in exactly the same way, for we dance the dance of the double
camp too, for we are to have our engagement to Him consummated, our name linked with Him, an entry
to a place of fruitfulness , the blessings of a land. As we dance the dance down here, people will see our
love for Him, how proud He is of us. It is a dance of returning, a dance of union and communion with Him.
"Blessed are the people who know the password of praise, who shout on parade in the high presence of God.
Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do--- they can’t keep it quiet!
"Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us—you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air! All we are and
we have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!"
Above all it is a response, a spontaneous response to coming close to him. I believe not one is excluded from this
dance, all who are the bride have a calling to dance the dance of Mahanaim. When they see us dance people will
see the Lord and become hungry for Him, believers and unbelievers, long to know the one we love, who
has set us free to dance. There should be no room for shame: He has set us free!! We proclaim the
liberty of belonging to Him in His kingdom of love.
This gift of dance is for the bride, and for the groom that He may behold the beauty of His loved one.
Returning to Mahanaim!
How to we reach this place of the double camp, this place of fruitfulness and weakness where we can dance for all
God is and has done for us? Dance before Him and feel His pleasure? Two other place names in the Bible point the
way. The first is Ziklag, the second Abel-Meholah
Ziklag means "despair of searching for". It was the place of refuge that David was given among the Amorites, his
enemies. 1 Sam 27 v 6. It was painful among his people, he had been promised the kingdom, but he was being
hounded by Saul, his life in danger. He eventually sought help and refuge in the only place knew he would not be
pursued; among the enemies of God "Hope deferred makes the heart sick" Proverbs 13 v 12. It was safe for a
while, but then it became a place of destruction: 1 Sam 30 v 1. How often have some of us felt like that about our
fellowships and churches, and have withdrawn into the seeming safety of non-attendance. I am talking about those
who have a hope and a vision that God will do what he promised, but our brothers and sisters appear to be treating
us worse than our enemies will. Take our eyes of God and His power to keep safe and fulfil His promises, and we
end up in Ziklag! God is gracious and can rescue us as He rescued David, He knows our hearts and our
weaknesses, and He will fulfil that He had promised to do.
When he received the fulfillment of the promises of God, he was irrepressible; Psalm 30
"For His anger is but for a moment, but His favour is for life.
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." v 5
"You have turned for me my mourning into dancing, You have put off my sackcloth, and clothed me with
gladness, to the end that my glory ( soul) may sing praise to you and not be silent. O Lord my God I will
give thanks to You forever" v 11,12
Abel- Meholah is the meadow of dancing, the place where the Israelites used to go to celebrate victories. It was
the place where Elisha was born 1 Kings 19 v 16. He signifies the type of the double portion ministry. This is a
ministry that is associated with the restoration of Israel from her sinful state. Is 61 v 7 "Instead of your shame you
shall have double honor, instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they
shall possess double. Everlasting joy shall be theirs."
It was a place used to provide food for King Solomon’s table 1 Kings 4 v 12. We feed and grow strong in the
place of praise and celebration.
Gideon and his army of 300 drove their enemies to border of this place Judges 7 v 22. Gideon vanquished a huge
army by blowing the 300 trumpets, and driving them to the field of dancing, the field of celebration of victory! From
a place of depression and outright defeat, the Lord drove His enemies to their defeat!
When attending conferences which have really felt the touch of the Spirit, my husband and I have witnessed the out
breaking of spontaneous dance again and again. It is when the people loose their self-consciousness and are lost in
Him. Vashti lost her part in the kingdom because she refused to dance for the pleasure of her husband and king.
When we leave ourselves and get lost in Him we will feel His pleasure and be strengthened in love and worship to
Him.
We, the Bride look down

At our white wedding gown,
So dearly bought
By the love poured down.
And up again to be lost in His face,
Losing all sense of time and place.
We forget ourself,
Get lost in His wealth

Get lost in His longing, welcoming eyes;
We sigh:
How long must we be apart
It is breaking our heart.
His gaze looks right back

And keeps us on track, as we
Journey through time
To the moment sublime
When the ecstasy of unity
Will follow the wedding dance.
Jane Clark April 1998

The Bride Of Christ Is Not Ready

Karen Velez
My Bride, My Beloved is not yet ready, she is still spotted with the things of this world
She has played the harlot with My affections long enough
But yet, I love her
And I am purifying My Bride as through fire
I am making her without spot or blemish
But the time has come for judgement to begin at the House of God
Yes, My Bride will be tried and tested through fire and affliction
But it is out of love, that she not be destroyed, but purified
Seek My face, for I have wooed you constantly with My words of love
But now, it is time to make yourself ready, My Bride
For I am coming SOON
My love surrounds and overshadows you
but I must have a Bride of purity, a virgin
So My church, My beloved bride, seek Me now
Seek My face
For times of hardship are coming
The wind of My spirit is blowing
And all that is not of Me will blow away in the wind
Anchor to the rock
Anchor to Me
Look unto Me, for I am your shelter and supply
but DO NOT FEAR
For I indeed am with you always, even unto the end of the world
And I LOVE YOU
unconditionally, and with all My heart.....

Brothers Keeper?
Richard W Breazeale
I am writing this to right a wrong I have spoken for awhile now to many. While I may not have spoken this to all (I don't
know) it has been spoken to many people. It is simply that in the coming economic collapse and what is to follow, that
the homeless, the poor and impoverished will be able to live and survive without much change to their present situation
because of their strength and knowledge of how to live without.
I am convicted by the Spirit. Indeed the poor, homeless, destitute benefit from the wealth and prosperity of the well to do.
In the coming days, I don't believe years, there is coming such a casting down of the Worldly system that even those
who live in destitution will be shaken mightily. These benefit directly or rather indirectly even in the content of the trash
bins for food and clothing. Also in that given by those who have to institutions and churches for the poor.
I told many that the homeless and poor would be those whom will be least effected by the collapse of the worldly
system, indeed they may be the very first of those to truly be sacrificed in a real sense, not as ones who all of the
sudden go from comfort to need overnight.
I find that in the homeless and those who live day to day to survive is a great host of laborers, and a great number of
future leaders of the body. Now they are mostly overlooked or avoided accepting by a few who reach out to them. Even
these who reach out will be unable in the days to come, at least those who do not depend on our Lord to do this thing.
Now this word is to those of this world. Those who truly, truly trust the Lord (both wealthy and poor) will overcome, indeed
they will be such a strong light to the world that MANY of this world will come to them. And this is so merciful. We will
see His greatest mercy and grace in the days to come. Though it may SEEM to many we are seeing only an angry God,
it is this very thing that will bring, I believe, at least a 10th, a tithe of mankind to eternal life and salvation! Either way, we
are coming into times the scripture speaks of as the end times and harvest. An undeniable line will be drawn between
those who truly serve God and those who do not.
The glory to come during this time cannot even be imagined by our finite minds. Many are given words, visions, dreams,
knowings, etc... but in truth the reality of the fullness of this THING that our Lord is doing escapes us all. I myself in my
limited ability to see and understand am totally awed by what our Lord is doing in our time! And we are in but a shadow
at this time, this hasn't even been birthed yet! We are still in travail and experiencing the birthpains of this great
awakening, revolution, revival, whatever one calls it, while it is being brought forth.
We are being called NOW to go out into the highways and by-ways. (It has ALWAYS been NOW church, WAKE UP!) To
bring in those who are hidden and also those lost. The projects, the interstate bridges, the city parks, the abandoned
houses and fields where the destitute and poor dwell. NOW is the time to go out, in His Spirit and power, not with pretty
words of hope and niceties, but in truth and with a true heart led of the Spirit for His people. To preach the word without
concern for ones own life and circumstance. To proclaim LIFE! To give TRUE food, TRUE provision! You will be amazed
at the harvest! And if it is not you who will say, 'Here am I', the Lord will find another.
The world will KNOW that this work is of the Lord. There will be no way for man to take credit for fixing this thing or even
being able to. He will divide the loafs where He will, and He will use His Joseph's where He wills. People will be drawn
from the north, the south, the east, the west. His glory will shine to a very dark world in a time of very real troubles and
tribulations. And this through His Own.
Then will come great persecution......................

Lord! There is so much. Open our eyes to see, our ears to hear, our hearts to Know. Your perfect will be done on earth
as in heaven. Show the world Who you are, bow every knee.....amen

Words for December

Bill and Marsha Burns
Prophetic Utterance through Bill Burns:
December 20. 1998:

I come to you, My children, for I have an announcement to make. There is to be the birth of a new
manchild, a glorious manchild. One that will follow Me and preach as I preached, and walk as I walked,
and cast out demons as I cast out demons, and lay hands on the sick as I laid hands on the sick. And,
they shall rise and be healed, for I am now coming to live in you. Behold, I am indeed the first
manchild, but now I come to you in a new dimension of time, a dimension of glory, and I call you forth
to walk in the power that I walked in; to walk in the anointing that I walked in; to walk in the dominion
that I walked in, and to do the works that I came to do upon this earth. I now call you forth. Some of you
have glimpsed just an open window of the destiny that lies before you, but I say to you, in this coming
year you shall come through that opening into a new place. Behold, a new manchild comes forth to live
in power, to rule in glory. I extend to you today the staff of life, but not only the staff of life, for that you
have understood. But, now I extend to you the rod of iron, the rod of My authority, the rod of My power,
the rod of the governing powers of My kingdom. I come to you in the dimension and the dominion of
My Spirit today to spark a new life within you. Behold it comes this day and will carry you through the
trials which are before you. It will carry you forth in the power that I, Myself, walked in. For this is indeed
that season and time. I say unto you, look up, for not only does your redemption draw nigh, but watch
for the glory that is to come upon you. Pray that it would come to you quickly, receive it as a gift, for it
has been given freely as the gift of My kingdom for those who have been faithful to walk with Me in this
the end of the age. Open your hearts, My children, to receive fully the gift not only of salvation but that
of glory and power and divine rule. I send it forth on the wind of My Spirit to touch your spirit. I say,
receive!
December 13, 1998:

The season of sifting is before you, but if you will come forth in the place of faith as I am giving you
opportunity, it will be a much easier walk. If you come forth in faith, I will join my faith with you, and the
gift of faith will be given to the hearts of the righteous, and then the power of My kingdom will be
loosed and demonstrated in your life, and the season of sifting will become a season of power and
not defeat. The Spirit of the Lord says, I have opened a door before you. This is a new door to many of
you that will bring you forth into the destiny that I have laid before you, a door that will give you now the
opportunity to turn your minds upon Me, your hearts upon Me where every fear is laid aside, where
every thought of disobedience has no place, and where you come with a new level of commitment,
where you come now in a position of faith knowing in Whom you have believed and you know that God
is going to deliver you and bring you forth into the fullness of His kingdom.
December 12, 1998:

It is now that time, the winter season is just before us, and it is now time for the winter winnowing to
begin; it is time for the refining of My people. My precious ones have come into the safe habitations of
My kingdom. The time has come for the righteous to shine forth in the glory of My Father's kingdom.
Many have not had ears to hear, and they will now be gathered out of My kingdom. They are those
who have refused to listen. They have stopped up their ears, and they violate the word of My covenant.
"And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries, but the people who know
their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits for God. And they who
are wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though
some of them and their followers shall fall by the sword and flame, by captivity and plunder, for many
days. Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with
flatteries and hypocrisies. And some of those who are wise, prudent and understanding shall be
weakened and fall, thus then, the insincere among the people will lose courage and become
deserters. It will be a test to refine, to purify and to make those among God's people white, even to the
time of the end, because it is yet for the time God appointed." Daniel 11:32-35 AMP
December 6, 1998:
The Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me about a disease that some of you have that is common to
Christianity called nearsightedness. You are not eternally focused. Your perspective is not eternal;
your focus is on you and your circumstances and your desires. The Lord said tell them it is not about
them; it is about Me! The whole of this kingdom is not about you; it is about Me and what I am doing in
it. Those that are Mine have eternal perspective and are not hindered by the walk in this life; they are
not concerned about the problems in this life; they are not concerned about their circumstances. They
are concerned about My kingdom and being found in it and being one with Me and doing My perfect
will as My Son did. It is time to get some new glasses--a change in vision.
December 4, 1998:
Who is wise among you? Who has seen the signs that I have brought forth this evening? Is there not a
newborn babe among you tonight? Have I not spoken to you that I would send signs forth in the earth
that would tell you that which is coming? I send you forth a sign tonight which speaks forth this
message--out of the mouths of babes perfect praise comes forth. Out of the mouths of babes praise
is perfected. I cry to you this night by My Spirit, and I ask you a question. I say, where are the heralds
that will take this message and run to the four corners of the earth? Where are messengers that will
come forth and stand in the midst of the congregation and say unto My people, the Lord of glory has
come? He has brought forth a new sound unto the earth, a sound that is bringing His people up higher.
He is establishing a place within His people of perfect praise. The angels themselves are gathered
around with you. They are in your midst, and they are worshipping Me. Have you not sensed the
presence of angelic beings and the radiance of My glory coming upon you? This is the season for
perfect praise. My power cannot rest upon a people that have not learned how to worship Me and
praise Me. Think for a moment and examine the sign that I have given you. Does a baby have
inhibitions? Doesn't he cry when he needs to cry out to the parent for comfort? Doesn't he cry out to
the parent for love? Doesn't he cry out to the parent for a touch? Doesn't he cry out to the parent for
feeding? I would have you become like little children, My people. Cry out to Me when you need
nourishment. Cry out to Me when you need comfort. Cry out to Me for surely I shall come unto you and I
shall sustain you. The nourishment of My kingdom shall flow forth into your life, for I am indeed the Lord
of glory. I am the Father of life. There is life in Me. I desire to bring that life forth into you. Will you not
open your mouth as a babe and cry? Cry as a babe cries out for a tender touch. Cry as a babe cries
out for reassurance. I say, this is My desire. I am bringing you to a new level, new heights. I am
bringing you to the top of Mount Zion, up to the place where the heavenly harps will join with your music
and the heavenly voices will manifest themselves in the congregation, for surely now I am joining
together both natural and spiritual so that all the world will see that I am indeed the Master, the King.
Behold, your King walks among you tonight, reaching out to touch you, deliver you and heal you.
Behold, the Lamb of God who has taken away the sins of the world. Behold, the Lamb of God that has
come to renew you. Behold the Lamb of God that has come to bestow His touch of love upon you.
Behold Him, for surely He walks among you.
Words from the Lord to Marsha Burns:
December 25, 1998:

Oh, My people, you celebrate in My name, but your celebration is in word only. You speak it with your
lips, but your hearts are turned to satisfy your own desires through self-indulgence. Turn back to Me
quickly. Come up into My face. Repent of your distractions. Leave the things of the flesh and world
behind you; shake off the dust of defilement, and enter into the Most Holy place. Leave behind the
disappointment and discouragement of unfulfilled expectations and hopes, for they are not of Me.
Cleanse your hands and purify your hearts. I am waiting for you!
December 23, 1998:

Bring your heart before Me. I am still cleansing and purging My people. To those who have thought
that they have been purged and pruned already, I say be prepared for a deeper cleansing. I am
dealing with you on a deeper, more subtle level. I am getting at the "heart" of every issue and bringing
light so that nothing remains in the darkness. Do not be afraid of this process. The process of bringing
everything to the light gives no place for the enemy to blackmail you and sets your free from his
bondage. Rejoice!
December 22, 1998:

The time is coming, the time is near when those who have refused to come into the ark, a place of
safety in Me, will be left out. The day is at hand when I will shut the door, and it will be too late for those
who have insisted on walking in the world and doing what is right in their own eyes instead of being
obedient to My word. Wake up, those of you who are sleeping and in apostasy and complacency!
Come out from among those who encourage you in compromise. Choose now whom you will serve. If
you want to belong to Me and be on My side, then do it wholeheartedly. Haven't I said that if you are
lukewarm I will spew you out of My mouth? Time is short. Decide!
December 21, 1998:

Here comes the Wind! My desire is that you be caught up in the Wind. Do not resist it. Go with it. On
the Day of Pentecost in the Upper Room there was the sound of a mighty rushing wind, but I say this
will not be just a sound. It will blow with strength and might to move you, My people, into places where I
can use you effectively. Yield to the Wind of My Spirit to do with you as I please. I am looking for a
people who will not stubbornly cling to old places of safety and familiarity, but who are willing to throw
caution to the wind, step out in boldness and faith, and walk in and be moved by My Spirit.
December 19, 1998:

Things will move very quickly now. Matthew 24:22 "And unless those days were shortened, no flesh
would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened." I call you, My people, to simplify
your lives as much as possible so that I can use you in these days at optimum capacity. Refuse to
allow petty issues to cloud your view of Me and My purposes for the end of the age. Be alert and ready
to move quickly as I give direction to your hearts. I will use those whose response to My leading is
immediate and sensitive. Keep your mind and vision clear, and maintain an honest and open heart
before Me. Micah 1:3-4 "For behold, the LORD is coming out of His place; He will come down and
tread on the high places of the earth. The mountains will melt under Him, and the valleys will split like
wax before the fire, like waters poured down a steep place."
December 18, 1998:

Things as you remember them will never be the same again. Old things are passing away. An old way
of living, things that you've depended upon to be stable and unchanging, will change. The world
system that you thought would always be the same will not be. This is not a cause of fear, My children,
but a cause for rejoicing because of the time in which you live. For, now is the time for my Word to be
fulfilled not only in your ears but in your sight. You will see that My Word is not a fable, but living and
powerful and has waited for its time of fulfillment. Now is that time. This is a time that you, My chosen
ones, will draw closer to My bosom and hear the beating of My heart and know My love for you. I am
your place of protection; draw close. 2 Peter 3:9-11 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as
some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all
should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the
heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth
and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what
manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness."
December 16, 1998:

I had a dream of about three really old people posing for a family picture. They were standing behind a
table filled with framed pictures of family members who had already died. They were all wearing red
and white gingham shirts and either a thought came through or a voice said that these were the last
people of the final generation. And, the Lord says, indeed these are the last days. You are living in a
time when things will never be the same as what you remember to be the "good old days." These are
perilous times. Things will occur, and changes will take place rapidly. My people, there is much to do
in the days ahead. You must leave the things of the world behind and find yourselves totally in Me. I am
your only place of safety. Be strong. I am looking for a people who will be yielded and obedient to My
every direction, a people I can trust with my plans and purposes for the days ahead.
December 15, 1998:

1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour." Hide yourselves in the safety of My presence. Keep yourselves from
sin and worldliness. Give no place for the devil to invade. I call you today to be watchmen on the wall,
and as you see the enemy approaching, cry out. Warn those around you to prepare for the coming
attack and be ready to defend and fight back. He is spying out the territory trying to find weak places
that he might break through and plunder.
December 14, 1998:

I had a dream of a man who had stolen something from our church and was getting away in a
helicopter. The man was very adept at flying his aircraft, and he was familiar to me in personality,
although I didn't know him. As he was lifting off, I could see a look of smug, self-satisfaction on his
face. But, he had failed to notice a huge power line just ahead of him. By the time he saw it, he had
gone a little too far, and even though he kept trying to get above it and kept trying to maneuver away
from it, it was too late. The blades of the helicopter got tangled in the power line, and although I didn't
see an explosion, I saw the meltdown. His black helicopter melted and crumpled like a silk scarf
floating down to the ground. The man represents the spirit of the antichrist (who comes to steal, kill
and destroy) working through man. He is a manipulator, a controller, an operator. He always believes
that he will get away with coming against the church of the Living God, that he can commit spiritual
crimes against God's people without consequence. He has no fear of God who has all power (the
power lines), but we are living in a time when the Lord will bring judgment upon those who have
committed evil against the Lord by abusing His people. The helicopter represents trying to move in
the air or spirit realm by natural means, and no amount of clever maneuvering will avert God's
judgment.
December 12, 1998:

I have been calling to you--Come! My desire is that you come in close to Me, for the storms are
beginning to rage, and I am your only place of safety. Seek Me with all your heart, mind and soul, for
there you will find comfort, and there you will find grace and mercy. In My presence you will find peace
and rest for your souls. Some of you, My people, are weary and weighed down with burdens too heavy
for you to bear. But, I say, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30) Bring your burdens to
Me. Am I not able to carry them? Unburden yourselves and come into My peace, My safety, My liberty.
Be free! Trust Me with your cares and find rest.
December 11, 1998:

Don't look back. You can't live in the past. What's done is done. You can't change it or relive it. You, My
precious people, must go forward. I am doing a work today in your lives. Reminiscence is a trap and
can lead to bondage if you stay there. Be free to live in the here and now. Only use the past to recount
experiences that bring glory and honor to My kingdom. Testify of Me and My great power, but do not
set up idols of the old days and old ways and people who once were. That leads to fantasy and
deception. Come to Me today, and leave the past behind. Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I do not
count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and
reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward
call of God in Christ Jesus."
December 9, 1998:
I see the dilemmas that you are facing. I know the problems that you wrestle with, and yet you hang on
to them and try to solve them by your own power and wits. Always striving; never coming to conclusion.
The difficulties that you face give you opportunities to come to Me. Is there anything that I cannot
accomplish? Yet, you do not ask. Is there anything too great for My understanding? Yet, you do not
seek My wisdom. Come to Me with all your needs. I am not only willing, but I am able to do
exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ask or think. I can do nothing, however, unless you
bring your burdens to Me.
December 8, 1998:
Rise up! I say, rise up out of the darkness of demonic control. How long will you, people who are
called by My name, bow down to demons of lust, greed, fear and the like? Behold, I have given you the
authority to trample over serpents and scorpions and over ALL the power of the enemy so that nothing
shall by any means hurt you. The blood shed on Calvary was not only to provide salvation, but
deliverance as well. I have given you, through victory over the enemy, the power to overcome. Rise up
in the power and authority I have given you and overcome! How long will you be a victim of the enemy?
John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they
may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
December 7, 1998:
The seduction of the season has drawn many of My people into a dark, murky trap. Do you sense the
oppression and heaviness? I say to you, rise up! Press through into My presence to see My face and
bask in My glory. Colossians 3:4, "If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are
above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things
on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life
appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." Refuse to be pulled down into worldliness and
bondage. Rise up! Come to Me!
December 5, 1998:
Bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Let the light, truth, flood every area of your
mind and heart. Bring to light every hidden motive, forgive every offense, release every place of
disappointment, discouragement, rejection, fantasy or fear. You will not be able to see clearly with
these things in your heart. Deception is the presence of these places of darkness. Yet, I call you to
walk in light. Come into the purity of relationship with Me and be done with everything ungodly.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might!

But Lord, You Promised

Steve Shultz
You've said to me, "But Lord, you promised me the desires of my heart if I would delight myself in You! Where is the
fulfillment of that promise?"
And I answer you that---Yes, that is what I promised you and I will keep my promise but there is a process that you have
not fully understood. I ask you to look around and see the current prosperity of the wicked. What do you say of that?
How do you respond to that? Are you in anguish, not understanding the reason? Do you watch the news and say, "Why
doesn't God do something? Why is he so patient with the wicked? When will he hurry up and take care of the wicked.
Why does He wait?"
When I gave you this promise [Psalms 37] I said other things as well. The Psalmist was looking around at the prosperity
of the wicked. And I said to him, "Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like grass they
will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away."
Each person I am doing a deep work in must learn to stand and watch the wicked prosper. And while so doing, I ask
each of them to do one thing: DO NOT FRET! I told the Psalmist, "Do not fret about the prosperity of the wicked."
But rather, "Delight yourself in me," even as the wicked prosper in your presence and in your sight--Delight yourself in me
and DO NOT FRET, for to fret leads only to evil. Many are waiting for my promise to be fulfilled in their life, yet they will
not trust me regarding the wicked. Rest in me, and cease from fretting over the prosperity of the wicked.
I cannot move forward in your life--to the degree I would desire-- until your put your delight in Me-- even while evil prospers
all around you. To do this forces you to put your eyes on Me alone and not the circumstances upon which the enemy
would have you focus.
Throughout history, I have chosen to reveal myself at times when the most evil surrounded those who called upon my
name. Why should this time be any different. I have decreed the end to occur the same way; "When these things begin
to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
So I say, When evil appears to abound in high places--Do not fret. When those who are unscrupulous around you seem
to endlessly prosper--Do not fret. When those who persecute the Church seem to receive my blessing as a reward--Do
not fret. And when standing for righteousness, you are persecuted and ridiculed--Do not fret. Only delight yourself in Me
DURING THIS TIME and I WILL give to you the most heartfelt desires of your heart.

Buy Oil, Now !

Judy Curmi
My children perish for lack of knowledge. My children are entrapped because they don’t recognize
their adversary. The world will soon be aflame and yet, people continue on as if there were no
tomorrow, accumulating everything they possibly can for today. The future seems a distant, misty
shore, beyond comprehension and of no importance.
I AM CALLING TO MY CHILDREN RIGHT NOW. LOOK UP AND LOOK WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO
YOURSELVES. Your redemption draws near, yet you turn your back and chase after totally useless
ephemeral baubles and goals.
Put some oil in your lamp and start trimming the wick. The bridegroom is coming soon.
Many of the virgins who should be preparing for the Wedding Party are off doing something
else. I warn you, once the door has closed on the Wedding Festival it will not be reopened to
admit scragglers!!!
Take your eyes off the world, lest you perish. Don’t let my handiwork or the tricks of the accuser lead
you off the path. Keep you feet firmly planted on solid ground. Keep your eyes fixed on the goal. Don’t
let yourself be blinded by the current day light into thinking it won’t soon be night. You will soon be in
desperate need of both your lantern and the oil to fill it. Can’t you tell it is already dusk?
Listen! The Bridegroom draws near. He is practically at the door! GET READY, NOW!
Love, Daddy

The Bride at Brownsville

Cathy Wood et. al.
[A series of messages from the RiverMail List]
Last nights sermon was terrific. Steve preached about that Jesus proposed to us all in John 3:16. He had a wedding
dress on stage. It was pretty and looked white but we could not see the stains on it. He had a bucket of mud and as he
talked about sins, he dipped it in the mud and made more stains. Then he started dimming the lights. The darker it got,
the harder it was to see that our garment was stained. He stressed that Jesus is coming for a spotless bride. One who is
making herself ready. About that time he read the scriptures about the trumpet shall sound... and up on the staircase,
everything went dark and a spotlight came on a man with a shofar, blowing it loud. About that time the doors to the foyer
came open and a bride complete with veil and wedding gown was standing there. The light from the foyer made only a
silhouette and it was chilling. Next a tremendous wedding match began playing over the sound system and a spotlight
went to the bride. As she walked toward her groom, her arms were lifted. Her dress was spotless white. When she got to
the altar where Steve was standing to represent Christ.. They took off running together as she threw her veil back. Both
were smiling and laughing in joy as they ran out of the room!
Well, you can imagine how many people took to weeping as they realized their gowns were not spotless white. The
altars were full, most ran very fast to get right with God. I keep thinking of the bride... and the fact that I am also part of
the Bride of Christ. Oh, thank you Jesus.. keep me clean.. Keep me out of situations where the light can become dim
and I fail to see if I have stains on my heart. I think of people who don't go to church very often and they don't fellowship
with Christians, those who don't read the word. They are in some degree of darkness and do not even know how stained
they are. I think of those who hang around with others who are just a tad worse than they are so they will feel cleaner. It
won't work. We have to actively be looking for the Lord when he comes. That's the bride he longs to be with. Each day
we have to wake up and remember we are married to the Lord. He is coming again when no one expects him to come.

Friends,
Two weeks ago at a prayer meeting we were just finishing worship when the room went completely quite. You could hear
a pin drop. It was not planned nor orchestrated. After a few minutes this word was spoken forth: "My leaders don't
understand this move. They do not understand what I am doing and can't quite figure it out. It is because I have never
called the bride forth before. I am preparing her for my Son."
Dave Bodine
Re: The Bride at Brownsville It's interesting that this theme seems to be coming forth again.
This Wednesday evening as our worship team met for prayer and practice we were just led to seek the Lord. A time
came when we were sharing what we heard the Lord saying. One of us shared how--for years--she had felt that the
presence of Jesus was distant and how that had troubled her somewhat. She said that suddenly, in the moments before
she spoke, she realized that Jesus is calling forth His bride...and she could feel Him near, drawing her, telling her to get
ready!
There was much more to her message, but suffice it to say we dwelled on that and waited on God to bring forth the song
of the Bride...and it came. For twenty minutes or so we sang a song which came spontaneously, calling for the heart of
the Bride, calling for the Groom to come soon.
Even so, Lord Jesus, come!

Jeffrey Ady
Concerning the Brownsville sermon about the Bride of Christ....
I missed last night but a friend went and he said that Steve told that the bride (Jeri Hill) said that as she was walking
down the aisle, she was blinded by the spotlight as she was walking... looking through the veil. She had to walk the aisle
by faith. It wasn't until she got to the altar and Steve, representing Jesus, took her hand and lifted the veil that she could
see clearly. .face to face... How much like that is the Christian life. We walk by faith and not by sight... And when we
see him we will no longer be looking through a glass darkly..

He Is Calling
3 Short Words from Katie Jordan
May 12, 1998

Thus Saith the Lord;
Beloved, you are indeed Mine but I would ask that you yield even more to Me. The times are chaotic I know, but you
must consequently spend even more time in My presence. Only in My presence can you find peace, and only from Me
are you able to draw strength and courage.
As the world around you becomes more and more upset and irritable and confusion abounds, COME ASIDE WITH ME.
Spend more time in your prayer closet. Learn to lean hard on Me for My strength never fails.
Be awake and be alert. Know what is happening in the world. Ignorance will not help you when times are very bad as you
will not be able to hide. REMEMBER, I AM YOUR ONLY HIDING PLACE, AND YOU CAN HIDE IN ME EVEN IN THE
MIDST OF A RIOT.
If you are fully yielded to Me and accustomed to My voice you will be able to use MY WISDOM in any situation. THE
SINS OF THE NATIONS ARE BRINGING ABOUT THE FULLNESS OF TIME! The vat is full and will soon overflow! Be
very certain that you are under the Wings of the Almighty when it does, for THERE is your only safety!

My people, remember that you are a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. I have brought you out of darkness into My
marvelous Light, now I expect you to let your light shine. Search your hearts and your lives and be certain that MY LIGHT
AND MY JOY show in your lives. In these dark days many will be attracted to the Light. Do not hide the talent that you
have been given for I expect fruit, yea, abundant fruit. If My vineyard is producing no fruit, where will the hungry go?
My Light, My Joy, and your fruit will attract the suffering just as flowers attract bees.
LET GO AND PRAY FOR HOLY BOLDNESS. SPEAK OUT AND DO NOT BE SILENT. Call My people, gather My
people, let them all know that truly I am coming back and all the world will know that I AM KING OF KINGS AND LORD
OF LORDS!
Received by Katie Jordan--
June 20, 1998

My beloved ones, I see your hearts and I hear your hearts' cry. I know that each one of you desires a closer walk with
Me. My Word reminds you that if you draw near to Me, I will draw near to you.
It takes an action to bring a reaction. It takes a desire on your part for Me to fill it, for My Word tells you that I will give
you the desires of your heart.
I tell you to have no fear for I have called you by name, and YOU ARE MINE. I shall be with you through the waters, I
shall be with you through the rivers, and I shall keep you through the fires. I have promised you these things for I am THE
LORD THY GOD, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, YOUR SAVIOR.
Again I would remind you that My Word says, IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US? So what is there to
fear?
Hold your head up high and never be ashamed. Though dark waters swirl around you I shall set you upon a Rock and
keep your head held high above your enemies.
If the world hated Me, it will hate you also, but be of good cheer for I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. My arm is not
shortened that it cannot save, neither is My strength any less than when I created the world.
There is nothing too hard for Me, so stay within My arms, My beloved people, stay within My arms.

Can You Hear The Sound

Bill Burns
August 14, 1998--through Bill Burns to the Church: Scott Wilke had a vision of a large gong, bronze or gold in color; it
was held up by two lions. Either reflecting on the gong or projecting from it was blue sky and fluffy clouds. Bill kept
hearing bells and a trumpet blow.
And so My children, I would say unto you, for the vision is in your mind now and the words are in your ears. Can you
hear the sound? Can you hear the ringing of the bells? Can you hear the blowing of the trumpet? I am coming for a bride;
I say, I am coming for My bride, and I will give you signs even in this earth of the wedding feast. I am coming for Mine,
beloved, I am coming in the clouds of glory, and I say as I come the sound of My voice shall be a trumpet upon the land,
and it shall ring throughout the heavens, and it will declare to all the world that I have come for My beloved. As I come for
you, I come in clouds of glory. I announce to you that I am the Lion of the tribe of Judah. I have come now as the Lion of
Power and the Lion of Love. As I come to My beloved, I shall impart through My love My power to her, and she shall be
My witness in the earth before the great day of that feast.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound, ringing of the gong, the chiming of the cymbals, the ringing of the bells
throughout the land to announce that I am indeed coming, for this is the season of My coming, and it is not too far away.
This you must remember, the days of glory shall not precede the days of justice. In the midst of those things that are
coming upon the earth, keep your ears attuned to the sound, the chimes and the cymbals and the clang upon the gong
which calls you home into My heart, a place of habitation where love will be poured out upon you. If you are found in this
safe habitation of My heart, surely My power shall be yours, and it shall rest upon you. I am the Lion of Love and the Lion
of Power. This is a new thing, a young thing I am about to do. Even the world itself will wonder with amazement that I
have chosen My beloved.

Catching Fish
Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies on 19th December, 1998. As with all
prophetic words, these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where
Bible passages are referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the
interpretation of the passage, but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an
interpretation.
The Lord began speaking to me during a Sunday Sermon on John 21:1-14: Jesus and the Miraculous
Catch of Fish. He made clear that the passage gave insight into Evangelism - God's Way.
I believe that we Evangelicals have taken up error, in that we have over-emphasised Evangelism as
the major reason for the Church. The Great Commission was a major part of Jesus final instructions to
his Disciples, but so was the forgotten verse: "....and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you" (Matt 28:20, emphasis mine). Our narrow definition of the Gospel, and our
commitment to preaching the Gospel have caused us to ignore the rest of the Package - healing the
sick, cleansing the lepers, casting out demons, and so on (Matt 10:7,8). I believe that the Lord is
calling us back to His model of Evangelism, and that Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish is a
blueprint for Last Days witnessing.
John 21:1 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Tiberias. It happened this
way: Simon Peter, Thomas (called Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of
Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and
they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught
nothing.
Simon and the others were called out of their earlier lives to follow Jesus. Unlike Elisha (1Kgs. 19:21),
they hadn't "burned their bridges" behind them, and it was very easy, when nothing much seemed to
be happening, to return to their Old Ways. Similarly, we try so hard to Evangelise, but we fail to
recognise that there are seasons and times - even times for not Evangelising, but simply waiting on
the Lord. Peter was still suffering the self-doubt and depression from his denial of Jesus, and his
return to fishing was a way of saying: "Lord, I quit - You can't trust me any more. I'm going back to the
Old Ways". The trouble is, the methods that used to work so well are ineffective now, and Peter didn't
"catch" a thing. Going back to a former life is never fruitful, when the Lord has called you forward.
John 21:4-6 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realise that it
was Jesus. He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?" "No," they answered. He said,
"Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were
unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
When we are caught up in our "Old Ways", we are kept from recognising Jesus, even when he
appears before us. Jesus repeated a former miracle to reveal himself to His friends. Even though we
may give up and return to the Old Ways, the Lord always comes to us where we are and calls us out,
often in the same way He did originally. This time, the disciples didn't protest the command - they had
learned to simply obey the Lord. Obedience to Jesus' methods always brings in a harvest.
John 21:7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon
Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it
off) and jumped into the water.
Those who have been intimate with the Lord will recognise Him before the others and call their
attention to Him where He is. This is a major role of the Prophetic Ministry in the Last Days. There is a
Doctrine going around Church circles that Prophets shouldn't have any role in giving Direction to a
Congregation, that their ministry is "strengthening, encouragement and comfort" (1Cor. 14:3). The
trouble with this is that it is the focus task of the Prophet, not the Pastor, to hear from God, and pass
on His Word to the Body, or the Leadership. Pastors are focused on the Flock, Prophets are focused
on the Lord.
This is not to say that the Lord will not speak to Pastors and leaders, which would be contrary to Acts
2:18: "Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they
will prophesy". All Christians are supposed to be able to hear from God by the Spirit. Yet the Prophet
has this as his first Responsibility, and the Prophet should ideally be confirming the voice of the Lord
to the Leadership. Unfortunately, this doesn't always happen in practise, especially as we are still
learning about the Prophetic and its function. We must allow our Prophets to speak, and then judge
the Word they bring for mixture/error. To deny ourselves the function of this gift is ludicrous, and to
assume that God will speak only to leadership when He has ordained Prophets in that role is
presumption.
Peter represents those with a heart for God. Once they know where He is, they will drop whatever they
are doing and go to Him, usually by the shortest possible route. They can be criticised by the Legalists
for abandoning other tasks, but they are aware that their first priority is to the Lord.
John 21:8-10 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far
from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with
fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught."
Jesus not only tells us where to catch fish, but prepares a place for them to be cooked (discipled).
John 21:11 Simon Peter climbed aboard and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153,
but even with so many the net was not torn.
Peter the Evangelist (Fisher of Men) pulls the net ashore, ensuring that they cannot escape the call of
the Lord. The fish are "large", speaking of the mature, adult converts we will be catching in the Last
Days. Even with so many fish caught, God preserves the Net so that it doesn't break. Many Prophets
have spoken of the coming Harvest, and its incredible magnitude, and worried at the lack of
preparedness in the Church. I believe we will see the Lord "preserve the Net", to cope with the influx,
though this doesn't imply that we shouldn't seek the Lord for direction on how to prepare. There is no
guarantee the Lord will use all Congregations or Church groups. It may be that He chooses those with
stronger Nets to start with.
John 21:12-14 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask
him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them,
and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he
was raised from the dead.
Jesus feeds and restores the workers, even though it was their own decision to go out all night in the
Old Ways. In that culture, the most intimate thing one man could do with another was to break bread
together, as the one piece of bread went into each of their bodies and became part of them. It is in
this place of intimacy that we recognise Jesus, and can be restored by Him.
The third time is significant, as to repeat anything three times was to do it completely. To ask the
same question three times was a mortal insult, as in the following verses when Jesus restores Peter
(John 21:15-20). This gives some insight as to Peter's thrice denial of Jesus, and what it signified.
Jesus' first two appearances hadn't really reached His followers, as they were too quick to return to
their former ways, but the Third time was to make a difference, and Jesus reinstates and
recommissions Peter. The three questions are followed by three slightly different commands, which
were to define Peter's ministry ever after.
"Feed my lambs." - Teach the children (Jesus is the Bread of Life)
"Take care of my sheep." - Pastor the adults - look after/care for them. Its easy to do this with
children, but any parent of teenagers will tell you it becomes harder with maturity.
"Feed my sheep." - Teach the adults.
Jesus ends with a repeat of His original Call to Peter: "Follow Me" (Jn 21:19), thereby reinstating him
and releasing him from the fear that his failure would cut off his calling in God.
The Lord gave me two specific passages to indicate how we should proceed with Evangelism in the
Last Days.
John 12:32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
We have for too long had the misconception that we had to "compel them to come in", to quote the old
Sunday School song. Our focus if to be Jesus, and lifting Him up in worship, where He will draw them
in. It will be much easier to fish when the fish start jumping into the boat of their own accord, asking:
"what must I do to be saved?". We must learn to create a place for the Lord where he can rest (Isaiah
66:1), by giving ourselves to worshipping Him in repentance, humility and the Fear of the Lord( Isaiah
66:2)
Ps. 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches
over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
For too long, we have laboured in vain, as we have failed to understand that it is Jesus who works, not
us, to catch fish. All we have to do is pull in the Net. We have been too quick to launch out into some
new Evangelistic Program, because of our lack of understanding of the Great Commission, and we
have burned out ourselves and our workers with little or no gain, because we haven't waited for the
leading of the Lord. We need to "...stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high"
(Luke 24:49). When the power of the Lord works, we will simply have to pull in the Nets.

Vision in Chester, England

by Steve Lincoln
Wed, 17 Jun 1998
As I was praying in the cathedral in Chester today, God gave me a vision -
I saw different people holding onto various packages.

A great wind came and blew upon the people.
Some struggled to hold onto their packages, and dropped them. They then fought against the wind and tried to pick up
their packages.
Others allowed the wind to take them, and they willingly dropped their packages as the wind lifted them up and bore
them away.
After praying over what God was showing me, He then spoke the following to me -
"I am causing a great wind to blow across the nations, the wind of My Holy Spirit.
This wind is shaking the earth, both My church and those outside are feeling the effects as the wind increases in
strength.
The purpose of this wind is to shake My church out of its apathy and lethargy, and to shake off those things from My
church which are unhealthy.
I am shaking off the old fruit, so that the new fruit may come forth. The old fruit has dried up and can no longer feed the
people, but the new fruit that I will cause to grow will be for the feeding of the nations.
Do not be stubborn and fight against the shaking, instead allow Me to shake off those dead fruits. The sooner that the
dead fruit is gone, the sooner the new fruit will grow.
The old fruit is your own ideas and attitudes, agendas and programs that have been handed down to you or that have
worked before, but they will not survive the shaking that I am sending right now.
The new fruit may appear strange to you at first, you may even question whether it is from Me. I say to you that I am
doing a new thing in the earth, and the fruit that I will cause to grow will feed many, many people all over the earth.
This fruit is for the healing and salvation of the nations, and it will never grow old or dry up.
Those who are hungry will come and eat of this fruit and be satisfied, and you My people will be the branches.
Do not attempt to quench what I am doing in these days because you cannot understand it with your natural minds, only
trust in Me.
I will share My plans with those that I can trust, plans for people, cities and nations, and I will share My strategies with
those who earnestly seek My face.
Again I tell you that the church in the end days will not resemble what it does today, for I am doing a new work.
I am breathing My Spirit upon the earth in a way never seen before, and I am calling My Bride to prepare herself.
Come into My inner chambers and let Me show you what must soon take place. Spend time in My presence and
become all that you are called to be.
As those in the world look upon the church, they will begin to see a change come over it, and will hunger for what the
church has.
I will cause the supernatural anointing of My Holy Spirit to flow wherever people allow Me to move unhindered. You will
stand in amazement at the miracles that will flow in all denominations, and I will cause a deep and lasting unity to come
upon My church. From out of this unity will come My Bride - the true expression of My Body.
Do not kick against what I am doing, but humble yourselves and seek My face, and you will see the nations and the
church changed for My glory."
May God bless you all mightily,

Steve Lincoln.

Come Into My temple

Bill Burns
THE TRUMPET August 2, 1998
"Set the trumpet to your mouth!" Hosea 8:1
The Lord God says to you today, is it not written that the whole of creation is in travail for the manifest presence of the
sons of the Living God? Is it not in travail for the lives of those that are floundering, those that are backslidden, those that
are lukewarm? Is it not in travail to see the glory of My word revealed in the earth as it is coming forth now by the mouths
of the prophets and those that I have sent to speak unto you the life of the glorious way?
I bring to you this word today.

Come into My temple for I have given you the invitation to come boldly before the Lord God Almighty and His throne. I
say to you, if you will come, and if you will linger there and meditate there in My presence, you shall be given a heart like
David had. You shall be given the revelation knowledge that manifests through the Word that became the written psalms
of glory. You shall receive the spirit of strength for war, for I say unto you, I am now doing a new work.
The veil has been rent and torn asunder, and the way is open to each of you now. The way is open for you to come into
the glory of the manifest presence of your God, your Father, your King. The King of glory will come upon you with His
manifest presence to cause you to shine as lights in this world, for I am preparing the way to the end of time. Be assured
that My temple is being built.
Do not worry about the days that are before you, even though they are filled with rumors of terror; even though they are
filled with rumors within the church of fear. I say do not worry, for am I not in the presence of My people, walking among
My people, protecting My people, bringing them to the place of safety under My outspread wings? Is not that the hiding
place that I have prepared for you? I say to you today, ascend before the throne of glory and let My presence come upon
you.

A Word To South Louisiana

Cindy Jacobs
June 4, 1998
So the Lord would say to South Louisiana, that it is your hour, it is God's time for this area. And I am pouring my spirit
out in a new and unique way, for I am restoring the covenant. I am renewing the covenant, that I made with my people
many, many, many years ago. And the generation refused the call. And they did not keep the call. But I would say now
there are those I am raising up, even some who are relatives of those who made covenant with me in this area. There are
those in the generations who I have called, and I am calling a new generation. I am calling those unlike what has been
seen before, in fact, I am even going to use generation x in a powerful way. I'm going to move by my spirit like a river and
there is going to be an outpouring of my glory that is going to come into this area.
And the Lord says I'm going to touch some places that have been poverty stricken. Where the economy has seemingly
gone down and down, there is going to be new life come, new industry.
I'm going to renew it, for I am renewing this covenant says the Lord. And the Lord says, My Glory is going to start filling
the churches and it's going to happen at unexpected places that no one would dream. I'm going to visit those little cities,
those little towns. I'm going to come and I'm going to surround some of the larger cities and the anointing will be in the
smaller cities surrounding the larger cities and then I'm going to take them.
Says the Lord. I'm coming through, with my glory. My glory is going to pour all the way up the Mississippi says the Lord.
The Lord says that the anointing of God is going to come, I am going to humble this state in some ways, but do not be
concerned about that, because it's going to bring greater glory in the end says the Lord.
And the Lord says to you look to the children, for I am moving among the little children of south Louisiana. For they are
going to prophecy. Look to the schools, for the Lord says I am going to do a work in the high schools that will be read in
the newspapers of the nation.
I am going to cause the eyes of the United States to be focused on this geographic region. And people will be startled
and amazed even say, surely God is there, we must go see. Let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord. And the Lord says
I'm going to put the anointing of the lawgiver. And its going to come through Louisiana as a state. There's going to be
statewide measures, the Lord says, that are going to cast down abortion. I'm going to do a great work in that state says
the Lord. I'm going to do a work that will be landmark, precedent setting. For God says I'm going to start from the bottom
and go to the top. And the Lord says to you there is going to be an anointing for revival. I'm putting my hand upon this
area even now says the Lord. I'm going to shake it. Don't be afraid of the shaking. And God says I'm even going to even
shake the political systems, I'm going to shake even city councils. I'm going to shake school boards. And the Lord says
I'm going to remove some and I'm going to set some up.
There are even churches, some, if they resist the spirit, there is going to be a shaking says the Lord, for I prophecy the
changing of the guard in southern Louisiana. And the Lord says behold, I do a new thing. I'm going to make a way in the
wilderness and streams in the desert. And the Lord says and the desert places are going to become fertile, even. Those
places that have not produced, that should be very fertile, will produce says the Lord. And this says the Lord is not only
something that is in the spiritual realm, but in the physical realm. For there are even treasures of darkness under the
earth, that have been shut up for the end times, that I'm getting ready to open and I'm going to pour out the anointing
even for the wealth of the sinner that has been laid up for the righteous and I'm going to send the anointing of missions to
go all over the world even to shake the 10-40 window from this area.

Growing Closer To God

Nita Johnson

I have dedicated this section to helping those of you who want to press into God. Many are the
lessons along the way. Even so, getting closer to the Lord is very simple. He said in Jeremiah 29:13
"Ye shall seek me, and find me when ye shall search for me with all your heart." (KJV) All the lessons
we are learning on our journey into God are designed to work toward one end and one end alone:
enabling us to seek God with all our heart. Many things get in the way of this wonderful adventure.
Stresses, material things, our own chosen sovereignty, persecution, cares of this life, and many more
interrupt our courtship with the Lord. This is true because we allow it to be so. Some allow it because
they don't understand what the Lord is doing so they fret when they should rest. Some allow it because
they don't really want the depth of relationship they say they want. Some allow it because they are
young in the Lord and it takes time to build the faith muscles that are required to simply trust, I am sure
there are many other reasons as well.
Today's article is going to deal with our misunderstanding of the storms that assail our life. This one
issue alone hinders more people who would like to know God in a deep way from ever entering in to
this beautiful place of divine rest than anything else.
The Shulamite cried: Awake, 0 north wind; and come; thou south, blow upon my garden, that the
spices thereof may flow out Song 4:16 KJV
In today's vernacular she was crying out for storms to assail her life. She desired both the comforts of
the warm south wind, and the trials of the cold north wind. Would you ever cry such a cry to the Lord?
Seven years ago, I wouldn't have either. I felt that I had enough northern winds to last me a lifetime.
Today I don't feet that way.
The Shulamite had just been given an inner vision of the beauty of her divine Shepherd. This
revelation was of such a nature that she knew she could never have what she so fervently desired in
Him without the refining that can only come in the storms of life. Because her heart had been so
touched by His divine grace, she had the courage to cry out against her own comfort zones and ask
the unaskable. She well knew that if she were to travel the lonely road of suffering, His grace would be
sufficient. Further, she trusted Him to send the warm south winds of healing and comfort when she
needed them the most.
We may not pray this actual prayer, but if we are praying that Jesus will give us a closer walk with
Himself, we are unknowingly praying the Shulamite's prayer.
Look around at the storms in your life, Dear Reader. Some of those storms exist because of your own
faulty behavior and are therefore your own doing. Some are brought on because the devil likes to
attack Christians who are pressing into the Lord. Some of the storms are in your life because God
has sent them there for your own good. He once told me: "Nita, consider everything as coming from
My hand." There is that all encompassing word, everything! Whether it is persecutions, trials, perils,
misunderstandings or financial stress, it is all there because God has, out of His deepest love for you,
allowed it. Every trial we go through has been specially chosen by the hand of God as a means of
drawing you into a deeper relationship with Himself. This is true, even if the trial is of your own making.
God allowed your personal failure to bring about this trial He could become your strength in so what
was once an area of weakness. So, having established that, God not the devil, is the one that has
control over the trials of your faith, let's look at what we are to do about it.
I once lived in the bottom level of a home whose owner was an alcoholic. Of course I didn't realize that
when I moved in or I would never have had the courage to make the move. Once I discovered her
secret, I wanted to move out, but the Lord would not agree to let me. He wanted me to stay there and
learn the lessons He had for me to learn. It was not easy!
When she would get hurt or lonely or any other negative thing might happen, she would get drunk, and
invariably take out her pain on me. I couldn't move out, so I would have to learn how to walk each
painful situation out in love. Sometimes I would fail and move into manipulation, for which I was always
severely punished by her. But, eventually I learned to just love her right where she was. When I did, I
quit fearing her rages I can't say that I ever got the total victory I would have desired. But I grew in
God's grace more than I ever dreamed possible.
When my friend, (I say friend as her deep inner needs made her a friend), would enter into her bouts of
rage, screaming and accusing me, I would humble myself until her words had no power over me. Once
I sufficiently humbled myself, I would begin to pray for a covering love to fill my heart. As God's love
would fill me, I found it easy to simply pray for her and not judge her. I did lead her to the Lord before I
moved out. And even today, I can honestly say that I care deeply about her.
The Lord once spoke to me giving me a most profound truth. "When in the midst of suffering, you can
bring down your walls of self protection and care about the deep inner needs of your violator, suffering
has fulfilled its purpose. " The cold north wind has fulfilled its purpose and it will be time for the warm
south wind of God's comfort and favor to bless your life. You will have learned to be free of the all
powerful flesh and more able to seek God with all of your heart, which is what He wants. Jesus wants
all of you, for, He dearly cherishes you. All that He does concerning you is designed to bring you
closer.
Such a lofty goal can only be won through prayer. When you, in the midst of a trial, humble yourself and
pray, accepting the suffering in the grace of God, trusting that He will bring you out when your lesson of
love has been learned, you will grow closer to God than you ever dreamed you would. just keep
praying for His grace and love to fill your heart and heal your hurts, and choose to walk in His love for
your offender. God will so richly reward you in relationship with Himself, that you will thank Him for the
trial.
Your Friend,
Nita

Clothed In The Armour Of Light

Barbara Pugh
"And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our
salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside
the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light." Rom.13:11-12.
In October 1997 I started to hear a sound in the heavenlies which can best be described as the tolling of the 'minute bell'
calling the stragglers into the sanctuary as the service of worship was about to begin. At times, this sound resembled the
clanging of a metal field gate that secures livestock inside the pen and safe from danger.
Then I began to see an ongoing picture that has continued in the same way right up to last weekend. The picture was of
sheep and goats grazing and playing on mountain slopes. Into the picture came a man with a long shepherd's rod, and
held it out horizontally before him. As I watched, sheep seemed to notice this, and began to go down the mountain and
settle into the rich pasture of the valley below. All the while, the bell was tolling. At first, all the sheep seemed to just eat
and rest in the sweet pasture, but then I noticed other, assistant shepherds appear on the scene, and each one carried a
banner. Each banner had a symbol on it that represented a different area of service - front line fighters, catering corps,
communications, hospital and first aid, and many other necessary sections making up a complete army. As I continued
to watch, the resting sheep began to make their way to stand in line in the battalion behind the appropriate banner; they
all appeared to know their place without being told. They appeared to be receiving instruction and learning from the
example of the standard bearer; and their love for Jesus and their desire to serve Him began to shine from their eyes.
The sheep seemed to come down the mountain in waves. There would be a number, then a time of quiet, then another
batch would arrive. Eventually some of the sheep coming down the mountain would go straight to their place in the battle
lines, whilst some who had been there from the beginning were still resting and recuperating in the pasture. The
battalions got larger, and the whole scene was bathed in a gentle warm breeze of determination and peace as the bell
continued to toll.
I asked the Lord to show me what it meant; so he positioned me on the edge of a local fellowship and 'zoomed in' my
'spiritual viewfinder' to show me what He was doing. I have watched this fellowship more than double in size over the last
6 months as people have joined - sometimes a number of new families at the same time, sometimes in ones and twos,
but now increasing every week. He explained to me that this was a microcosm of what He is doing all over the UK and
Europe, and that His righteousness is raining down from the heavens over this land. *****
At the beginning of May 1998 I suddenly realised that something was missing from the spiritual picture. The bell was no
longer sounding. The silence was filled with vibrant expectation. I then became aware of a guardian angel standing right
behind me, clothed in white and in full armour. I began to look closely at the spiritual picture again. The goats were still
playing happily on the mountains, but there were now very few sheep to be seen amongst them. As I looked to see what
the sheep were doing, I noticed that the last stragglers and resting ones were joining the ranks.
Then, my 'spiritual viewfinder' started to 'pan back' and I saw, for the first time, beyond the mountains on my left, a huge
sheet of water that had obviously been rising for some time unbeknownst to me. It was rising quickly now, and was about
to break over the mountains and flood the valley below. Even as I opened my mouth to shout a warning to the sheep, the
water swept over the mountains and down over the valley, obliterating everything in its path as it continued on its way
over the mountains on the opposite side of the valley. Before I could assimilate what was happening, suddenly the valley
was filled with light. The sheep had been instantly transformed; no longer little woolly sheep, they were now tall, strong
and confident warriors; fully clothed and armed for battle. Not only that, they were clothed with pure, iridescent, white
light that seemed to refract every colour of creation. As they stood silently to attention I realised that they were all
watching; all waiting; all listening. "For what Lord" I asked, but knowing the answer before it came. For the sound of the
shofar! The trumpet sound that would give the signal for them to surge forward, piercing and conquering the darkness,
welcoming the prodigals, releasing the captives and healing the land.
My 'spiritual viewfinder' continued to 'pan back' and I saw this scenario being repeated all over the UK. Then, as the
picture continued to widen, it took on the shape of a honeycomb which covered the whole of Europe. This honeycomb
was filling up with golden white honey. It seemed to be filling in waves from the left to the right; from mainland Europe to
the UK. Then, around the perimeter I seemed to see the words : 'Taste and see that the Lord is good.'
The period of time from the Lord showing me the first part of the picture to the start of its full implementation within the
local fellowship that I watch was just seven months ..........

Marching In Unison And Breaking Codes -

Don Hawley
Mon, 31 Aug 1998
A war machine cannot operate if individual soldiers are going their own private way.
However, there is a dimension that should be considered. History has proven that since the time of Napoleon the final
outcome of every single major war has been won by the army that broke the enemy's secret master code.
The reason that Paris didn't fall during World War I, when it seemed inevitable, was that the Allies knew the details of the
German plans. The outcome of WWII could have been completely different had not the Allies stolen a German Enigma
machine, and figured out how it worked. It was much easier to chase the Germans out of Africa when the Allied leaders
knew the exact timing and route of every German supply ship that left Europe.
FOOLING THE ENEMY
They had to be careful not to sink too many, or the Germans might realize their coded messages were being read. One
of the hardest decisions Churchill had to make was to allow the Germans to carpet bomb the city of Coventry without
warning the citizens there. There was a terrible loss of life, but Churchill knew that if the Germans found out about the
code breakthrough, the loss of life eventually would have been even much greater. With the Enigma code in their hands
the Allied leaders knew Hitler's plans almost as quickly as the top German generals.
In the South Pacific the top Japanese war leader was shot down when he tried to visit an advanced base. The American
public thought it was a lucky hit. Not so. The U.S. had broken the Japanese Purple Code, and six fighter plans were
waiting for him near the end of his journey. He never had a chance.
WERE IT NOT FOR THE CODEBREAKERS
Let me say it again, today our children and grandchildren might be opening school by saluting the German swastika or
the Japanese rising sun except for the codebreakers. These were a small, select group of exceptional men who secretly,
and without acclaim, labored almost day and night to break enemy master codes. So difficult was their work that they
could carry on only a few months and then they would have to be send away for rest, otherwise they would suffer a
mental breakdown.
God has his army regulars; he also has his codebreakers.
"When the king of Aram was at war with Israel, he would confer with his officers and say, "We will mobilize
our forces at such and such a place. But immediately Elisha, the man of God, would warn the king of Israel,
"Do not go near that place, for the Arameans are planning to mobilize their troops there."
"So the king of Israel would send word to the place indicated by the man of God, warning the people there to
be on their guard. This happened several times.
"The king of Aram became very upset over this. He called in his officers and demanded, "Which of you is
the traitor? Who has been informing the king of Israel of my plans?
"It's not us, my lord," one of the officers replied. "Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even
the words you speak in the privacy of your bedroom!" 2 Kings 6:8-12
EXCERCISING THE GIFT OF PROPHECY
It would seem that most of God's codebreakers through the years have been exercising the gift of prophecy. They were
not always popular, but they were always indispensable. Frequently, they seemed to be out of synch with the main body
of the army of the Lord.
They were viewed as a bit odd, because they were not always involved in what seemed to be the principle work of the
army at a given moment. As we enter the final stage of the great controversy between good and evil, spiritual
Armageddon, we will need codebreakers to lay bare the devil's plans.
From time to time there will also be other soldiers on special assignment that may appear to be involved in independent
action.
Let's be careful not to quickly judge those who seem to be marching to a different drum beat.
God Bless!

Dream About Economic Collapse

Sharon Williams
I just wanted to share a dream that I had last night. You may do with it what you like. In the dream I was listening to the
news with other people and had a cardboard chart. Like the ones kids use to measure their heights. As we listened to
the news, I marked on the chart the collapsing of the stock market. I marked it off in tens and then by the end, the news
reported that the stock market fell to one half its value in one day. When I awoke, I felt like it was so real, that I should do
what was necessary to prepare. For me personally, (this may not be the leading for other people) I feel to stockpile on
essential food items as my ministry is in giving out food and hospitality.
Anyway, I realize that I sound like Noah on a sunny day, but it is very real and I believe that we don't have much time left
before economic disaster. However, we serve a wonderful King and I look forward to His coming.
Bless you in the name of Jesus. chuckw@cancom.net

I Am Coming
Karen Snyder
Colville is the town where we live. Just put in the name of YOUR town instead because I believe it applies to every town
and village across our nation and even to other countries. Karen Snyder
" I am coming to Colville my beloved ones. For I do desire to visit My church there. And I shall come to break down
dividing walls between My children. For I must have a united church who desires to serve Me more than they desired to
defend their doctrines and beliefs. For the Bride shall not be divided and quarreling. She shall be united as one body,
flowing as one member. Therefore, I must come soon in order to complete the work I have begun in My people.
Prepare your hearts before your God! For I shall surely come in My fullness and I shall surely come in My holiness to
Colville and to the uttermost parts of the earth. And My white hot holiness shall purge and cleanse every vessel I have
chosen. For I come to fill and use each and every one who names My name and who calls themselves of Me. And I shall
not leave one stone unturned in their lives. And I shall not pass by anything that wreaks of sin and allow it to remain.
My beloved children, fall on your faces before me this day. For I am coming, I am coming in judgement to My people, for
those whom I love I also chasten.
My children, you have very little idea how I shall dwell within you and inhabit your midst. It shall be with a power in which
you speak of , and you pray for, and you long for, but you do not yet know.
For the time is short, beloved. And the enemy of your souls does long to devour each one who belongs to Me. And he
desires to steal the newborn away from Me. But he shall not have them, beloved. No, for they are Mine! But you must
prepare. For he shall surely shake the very foundations of your walk with Me. And I shall allow him to do so. For you
must know that your foundation in Me shall not move. For if your foundation in My word is not strong and intact and in
one piece, he shall have a heyday with you. And he shall try to get his filthy fingers into each and every crack in your
foundation. And he shall try to deceive your minds and then he shall crush the very life out of you. But... if you shall hold
on to Me and hold on to My word, and allow Me to cleanse your hearts, he shall not destroy you. But it will take
commitment and dedication to Me and to My word in order to foil his plan.
Oh beloved children, do not doubt the voice of your God today. For I shall surely come unto you as you have asked.
Therefore it would be wise on your part to prepare a way for Me in your hearts.
Do not be deceived by your circumstances and do not be led astray by what you do not see. Be warned this day and call
the people to holiness. Call the people to seek My face and to put away their idols of self and those things they long after
that are not of Me. For if they do not, I shall have to cleanse their temples Myself.
If you will obey, then I shall dwell with you and among you and you shall see mighty miracles and you shall see healings
and you shall have My power and all that you have longed for shall be given unto you, beloved. For My Bride shall be a
mighty force in the earth and all shall take notice. For I am the Almighty God, King of heaven and earth and I shall have
My way among My creation. For I do desire to dwell in and among My people. Therefore prepare this day for a visitation
of your God. For I shall surely come to this place. For I am looking for a people who are willing to obey Me and who are
willing to heed My calls and who will walk close to Me each and every day. I am looking for those who will pattern
themselves after My Son whose life was perfect before Me. For it is by His life that all were and are saved. For My Son
was willing to lay down His life for Me. Because of His sacrifice, you are My children and your names are written in the
Book of Life. And therefore I am calling you to the same life of sacrifice as Jesus walked. For He is your pattern. My word
was His daily bread. Communion with His Father was His sustenance as He walked with Me. For He knew the power of
the enemy to destroy My work. But He defeated the enemy by His sacrifice on the cross where He laid down His very life
that you could have eternal life with Me. And I am also calling you to lay down your lives for Me. For the souls of men
hang in the balance of eternal life or eternal torment. And you must go to them with the only gospel that will save them,
My Word! For as I have said, My Word shall never pass away. Therefore, take heed this day and hear the call of your
Father. Hear the call to the Bride. For I am surely calling her forth from My people in this hour. For I do love her and I long
for her to be in My presence for ever and ever. "

Things to Come in 1998

Bob Laflin
December 1, 1997
1998 - PART I
This is the time of year that I share what the Lord gives me prophetically concerning things to come. The Lord has
indicated many things concerning 1998, and it is my privilege to share them with you.
Many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, will come away from this year shaking their heads saying, I¹m glad
that¹s over! But as we approach the new year, you only have to look around to see that 1998 will be a year very much like
97¹ only much more intense. The situation in the middle-east is very volatile, our government will continue having trouble
trying to decide what the right thing is, Christian ministers will experience vicious attacks of the enemy in the form of
financial and marital woes, churches will see things occur in their midst that would make unbelievers blush and more
than ever before our children will be bombarded with antichrist themes on T.V., radio and theaters which make Christians
look week and ineffective. These are just a few of the things that should alarm Christians as they walk into next year.
According to Ephesians 6:12, there are rulers of darkness of this age. These ruling spirits take their liberties with nations,
cities and towns. In fact, the nations, cities and towns take on the characteristics and nature of the demonic forces that
are influencing them. For example, Boston, Massachusetts is influenced by demons of intellectual pride, New Orleans-
Mardi Gras and partying, San Francisco-deviant life-style, New York City-drug addiction, Chicago-gang violence and
Seattle-the spirit of materialism and pleasure. One of the most influential ruling spirits hovering over the United States is
the spirit of perversity. Perversity means to be warped or bent, not straight and true. It means to turn away from that
which is true. The prophet Isaiah describes this spirit when he said, Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who
put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. (Isaiah 5:29) This particular
demon has its claws in every facet of American society. The government, the schools, the entertainment business, the
economic system and even the religious community of America has been touched by this deceptive entity. Due to
intense intercession of the saints in 1998, this spirit will go wild! It will be like a snake that has been stepped on in the
wilderness, hissing, writhing, striking its victims with a vengeance. the result of this warfare will be a frantic dumping out
of hell these spirits of perversity bent on driving people away from the truth. Many believe that they can eliminate the
effects of them by voting, going to Washington and writing a law, creating a rating system for movies and television
programs, developing social programs or just by making the people aware of the need for change. Jesus said, However,
this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. (Matthew 17:21) The Lord definitely made it clear to me that next
year would be a year set aside for saints to fast.
Along with quality prayer, fasting becomes a catalyst that opens the door for greater communication with god. It humbles
us before our Creator, it leads us to a clearer understanding of what¹s really going on in the spirit world, it demonstrates
to God and the devil that we mean business and it helps us to see into the future that we might have wisdom in knowing
how to better prepare for it. Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount that He expected us to fast.
98 will be a year that the Lord will direct many believers to fast and will provide supernatural power to accomplish it.
Obedience to the Lord¹s prompting will bring down many strongholds of perversity.
1998 will be a year when people will have a preoccupation with death. I was watching some of Princess Diana¹s funeral
when the Lord said a strange thing to me. He shared with me that someone was contemplating developing the Funeral
Channel for cable T.V. I have no idea whether this person will succeed or not, but I have thought about that some.
There¹s ³BIG² money in funerals like Di¹s. The world was moved, mourned and merchandised her death. Celebrities,
sports heroes and notable personalities die all the time. It¹s as if you can see some producer sitting in an office in
Hollywood see $$$. The media will glorify death. It will desensitize America to the danger of dying without Christ. The
devil has a plan to let children see disasters, death, murder and torture as something that is common, something that is
normal, something that is suppose to happen. Along with the focusing on the death of others, many thoughts of suicide
will also flood the minds of individuals and organizations this year. For some it will seem like it¹s the most normal think in
the world to pull the plug. And this spirit of suicide is no respecter of persons. It will try to invade non-Christians and
Christians alike. It will entice many rational thinking people to give up on life, their marriages, and even their churches. In
fact, many churches will contemplate closing the church doors. And unfortunately, it will be a banner year for divorce and
bankruptcy lawyers. May God help us!
I realize that much of what I have shared with you in this letter seems so full of adversity. And 1998 will be that kind of
year. But I also know that the Bible is a wonderful book of promises which we can stand on in times of adversity. Yes,
1998 will be a year that will challenge people¹s faith but also a year full of opportunities to truth the Lord for miracles.
Bob Laflin Crosstalk Ministries Bend, Oregon
1998 Part II
Last month I shared with you about '98 being a year that would focus on death and would be overshadowed by the "spirit
of perversity". I would like to continue with what the Lord has laid on my heart about next year.
You will find many things that are now hidden will be revealed. Next year will be a year of discovery. People that have
been kidnapped years ago will suddenly turn up--bodies will be found that were dumped in lakes and rivers--long lost
loved ones will show up on doorsteps or make phone calls when least expected--many who have committed adultery
years before and hid it will be surprised and embarrassed as many of these secret acts will come to the surface--
illegitimate children by the scores will be on the lookout for their biological parents through the assistance of the Internet
and many men will be surprised to find out that they have more children than they thought they did as well a many more
financial responsibilities.
Hidden sins in the churches will shock the leadership of many denominations as the truth of what "really happened"
many years before will come to light (encounters in Sunday School rooms, adulterous situations, deceptive maneuvers
with God's money, and many indiscretions that have left church authorities baffled and congregations bound for decades.)
People who were sworn to secrecy will finally share the truth as those who have kept them from doing so will be "taken"
out of the way through death or retirement. Jesus will walk through the aisles of pews and chairs of hundreds of churches
this year and will unveil through words of knowledge things that were said and done in times past that were never dealt
with, that have a lasting "stinger" that God wants to pull out so there can be healing. Other individuals will look over legal
documents, private papers and wills only to discover "hidden skeletons" existing in their family lineage that have strong
ramifications for the day they live in.
God will AMAZE people with what He knows about their past. I would like to stress the point that I make wherever I
speak concerning words of knowledge and wisdom: God will not reveal sins from the past that are UNDER THE BLOOD
OF JESUS! The things that will be unveiled this year will be facts, situations and sins that have never been dealt with and
that are a hindrance to the healing of individuals, families, churches and nations. "For there is nothing hidden which will
not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light." (Matt. 4:22)
'98 is a year to PREPARE! America needs to prepare spiritually for the next president. It also needs to prepare for a new
leadership. The WORLD (America) needs to prepare to receive a new Pope, the change of boundary lines on the world
map and a discovery of something that scientists never knew existed.
Not too long ago the Lord shared with me that Christians will need to be very sensitive when they sit down to a meal.
Most people that pray over a meal pray that the Lord will bless it. And they should! But this year God will put on the
hearts of many to intercede in earnest prayer for the healing of the food they are about to eat. Many people will die from
tainted meats and vegetables this year and new strains of viruses will show up in seemingly good food. In third world
countries, because of the lack of food supplies, they will not care too much about the risk involved. In America, people
won't believe that it's possible for it to happen and therefore will do little about it. Many believers will find themselves
directed by the Lord to fast and pray for days concerning the welfare of the food supply of the nations as Satan has a
plan to "taint" food in many countries. The United State WILL be affected. Many Christians will find themselves quoting
Mark 16:17-18 and will believe God for deliverance. Miracles will flourish.
This will be a time in history where believers will sit in their homes and discuss seriously the Lord's "next move." Phrases
like, "Is this it?", "Did you see that?", "I can't believe that this is really happening!" "This reminds me of the scripture
that...", "Is this the end?" will be commonly spoken all over the world. Christians will have a hard time getting out of
Revelation but false teachers will show up everywhere to give great interpretations. This is nothing new, they will just be
more intense and bold in their presentation.
Many many prophesies will be fulfilled this year in the lives of the people of faith, words that were spoken years ago by
faithful servants with a prophetic anointing. This will cause a great celebration in the "camp of the Lord." Whole
denominations will see words of prophesy fulfilled that were spoken by their founders decades ago......

Vision Of Coming Repentance

by Marsha Burns
September 5, 1998: I had a vision of a woman walking around with a scroll. I thought at first she was a waitress, but then
realized that she was a servant. I did not know what to think of this, so I asked the Lord--what is this? He gave me these
scripture verses:
Ezra 10:6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the
son of Eliashib; and when he came there, he ate no bread and drank no water, for he mourned because of
the guilt of those from the captivity.
Ezra 10:7 And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the descendants of the
captivity, that they must gather at Jerusalem,
Ezra 10:8 and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the instructions of the leaders
and elders, all his property would be confiscated, and he himself would be separated from the assembly of
those from the captivity.
Ezra 10:9 So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth
month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God,
trembling because of this matter and because of heavy rain.
I believe the Lord has issued a proclamation throughout Judah (people of praise) and Jerusalem (city of peace, those who
have been reconciled to God), to the descendants of the captivity (those who were once captivated by the Babylonian
system or bondage to worldliness), to gather on the twentieth day of the ninth month. I believe that the Lord is using this
scripture to confirm the celebration that we have scheduled for the evening of September 20, 1998, to celebrate the
Feast of Trumpets, which marks a spiritual new year, a special time set apart for a new beginning with the Lord. This is
the beginning of the Days of Awe also called the Days of Repentance. Interestingly enough, our celebration will take
place outdoors, and we hope the heavy rain will be the latter rain of the Spirit!
In verse 6, Ezra went into the chamber of Jehohanan (Jehovah is gracious giver) the son of Eliashib (God will restore) and
fasted and mourned because of the guilt of his people. I believe God is calling us to repent for the sins of the people. I
further believe that the three days of fasting and praying before the gathering are for the purpose of repenting for the land,
the sea, and the air.
Repentance over the land represents the sins of our forefathers that have defiled the land:
Rom 8:20-23 "For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in
hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs
together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body."
Repentance over the sea represents the multitudes, the sins of the people of this nation for moral disintegration:
Ezek 22:29-30 "The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor
and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger. So I sought for a man among them who would make a
wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one."
Repentance over the air represents the airwaves and the filth that goes out via radio, television and the Internet.
Zec 5:1-3a Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll. And he said to me, "What do you
see?" So I answered, "I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits." Then he said
to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth." (I understand that this is the exact
measurement of a satellite transponder.)
This word came forth just prior to the vision of the woman with the scroll:
The Spirit says, some of My people who ought to know better are still bitter. Surely they would say, "Oh no, I
have forgiven." But, I say, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks forth the truth of the matter.
When you hear criticism, what is that? When you hear accusation cloaked in self-righteousness, what is
that? When you continue to hear of past offenses, what is that? When you hear a mocking spirit, what is
that? I will tell you what it is. It is the root of bitterness that will defile many, and I tell you that revival cannot
be birthed in an atmosphere of bitterness. Repentance must take place, or I will come and remove the
candlestick of revival from its place.
I believe the Lord is telling us that if we will repent, He will bring restoration (Eliashib).
Joel 2:23-25 Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the
former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you; the former rain, and the latter rain in
the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming
locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
2 Chr 7:14 "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
Could this time signal the beginning of the final great harvest?

Prepare for the Coming Evil

Judy Curmi
Judy, many of the evil events that are coming, man is going to bring on himself. Men have turned
completely away from me, their loving Heavenly Father because they don’t want what I have to offer.
Holiness is a hard road to follow or a " hard row to hoe", if you want to place yourself first and worship
self. The road to holiness triggers a whole series of choices, actions and events that place me and the
desire to help and serve others above the idols of control, manipulation, and self-gratification.
Most in the world are now standing on a sea of marbles. When I start shaking things the marbles will
roll every which way and the falls people take will be great. Few are anchored to bedrock. They have
no roots and no branches. Hard times are coming and people are not prepared. They have
worshipped everything BUT ME. They have put their faith in everything BUT ME,: in guns, in
technology, in doctors and lawyers, in their houses, the stock market and bank accounts. All of these
things and many others are the work of men’s hands. They are ephemeral, like trying to grasp the fog.
They look concrete, but it is only an illusion.
There are plans of men, which have been set in motion already, which will bring catastrophe and
horrible grief upon the earth. This will be Satan’s "finest hour". It will also be his total undoing, as the
victory will be mine.
Many young people actually think they are doing the right thing by choosing the dark side. They have
been totally blinded to the glory of my presence and the glory of the Gospel. Who is going to tell them
the truth? Not the schools, which have become cesspools. Not the TV, radio, tapes or videos. Not
their friends. Not their parents (if they’re fortunate enough to have them..)
My heart grieves greatly for the choices people are making, even to influencing the very young. I
cannot and will not allow this to continue much longer.
I will be coming to my own in a mighty way and many will be saved. I warn you not to put your faith in
being raptured out the moment troubles start. My Son needs a worthy bride. The Church is neither
worthy nor ready at the moment. Most of its' behaviors are extremely childish – not child-like, but
childish. There is a big difference.
I am calling with a strong voice. Listen to my prophets. I am speaking to them and through them in
many denominations in the current age. Read the prophecies in the Old and New Testaments and
check them against current events. Use your eyes and your head to see what is happening!!!! Watch
the evens that are occurring and wake up!
Woe to the wicked who stir up the pot of what is to come. They come from all races, tongues, religions
and political persuasions. They prepare to strike, but I will strike back. They prepare for unconditional
surrender of the world to them. Foolish people. I will have the last laugh. They will have to
unconditionally surrender to me. They are not God., I am.
Most people today are in worse shape than the five foolish virgins. They don’t know the bridegroom is
coming. They don’t have oil in their lamps. They don’t even know they need lamps! They are utterly
unprepared.
Wake up before it is too late and put your treasure where moths and rust can’t get at it. Fill your house
with wisdom and understanding. Get very, very close to me. Make this your top priority. Once things
start to shake there will be very little opportunity to change directions. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Look for ways to serve others and me. Be of good cheer. I will not remove my presence from those
who love me.
Love, Daddy

The Coming Judgment Times

Persecutions
Removing Sin From My Church
Thomas S. Gibson
The Coming Judgment Times:

For this is the will, says the Lord, for My people, that they be not defined by the ways of the world, not defined by the
ways of the flesh, and not defined by the ways that this earth thinks.
There is coming a time when the needs in this world will not be met by the ways of the world. There are coming bad
times.
But those who put there faith in Me, those who put there trust in Me, those who walk after My ways, says the Lord, they
will have there needs met, no, not by worldly ways, but by My ways, for I am all powerful, able to do all things. And those
who walk with Me will always be with Me, and I will provide in every way for them no matter what the cause, or what the
situation, I will provide, says the Lord.
Do not be disheartened by what happens in this earth in the coming years. Do not be disheartened. There are coming
rough times. So be it. Let it be. It must be. It cannot be taken away.
Do not pray against it, but pray for it. For it is in these rough times there shall come a great revival far beyond anything
you can imagine, there shall come a great revival. And though Satan will fight it with everything he has, it will not be
stopped, it will not be held back. for I will have a great revival in this earth, says the Lord. And it will take judgment and
the wrath of God to wake people up and bring it to pass.
So let it be. Trust in the King of Kings, not in the world of worlds. For only the King has the answer, and the world has
only its own ways which will fall and fail.
There is this, says the Lord, that you understand that you can't walk with one foot in the world, and one foot with Me.
You must choose which path to walk on. You must choose which path to walk on. You must not be turned aside after
the ways of the world. You must choose the ways of God. You must make a final decision. Go with Me, says the Lord,
or go with the world.
Too long My people have tried to play with the world, I will not allow it any more, says the Lord. I WILL NOT ALLOW IT.
IT MUST STOP. IT MUST STOP. IT MUST STOP.
Great are the times to come in the spiritual realm. Many a prophet has wished he could live in this time. Yet My people
are scared of this time. Why are they scared? I said I will take care of you. I am good for My word, says the Lord. I am
good. I will not be disheartened by your attitude against Me. I stand fast on My promise. I will make everything work
toward your end, and I mean toward your end. Every need you have will be met. But the lust you have for new cars and
new houses, I will not meet that, says the Lord, it is not of Me.
When all this here comes, remember it has been prophesied to My prophets, prophets upon prophets have desired to
see it, because the power of the Lord will flow so strongly.
So set aside the things of the earth. Stand fast in the things of God, and know that never, never, never will the earth be
shaken like its going to be shaken. Never will the earth be shaken like its going to be shaken. Never will the earth be
shaken like its going to be shaken. Never will the earth be shaken like its going to be shaken.
Here Me, says the Lord, the end is near. The end is near. But it is not as close as you think, but it is coming, says the
Lord. And never again will I bring judgment like I will bring on this earth. But it will come, a little at a time, then more, then
more, them more, till it finally finishes with My return, says the Lord.
So stand fast in My word and know that the Lord is on your side, and I am with you even unto the ends of the earth.
March 2, 1998
Persecutions:
For I am, says the Lord, a servant to those who will serve Me. I will serve them as they serve Me. I seek to serve My
people. I desire there best.
When I ask them to give up the things of the flesh, I do not do so because I am against them, I do so because it is their
best interests to give up the things of the flesh, to turn to the things of the Spirit, to turn to the things of power that rise
above the things of this earth.
It is in their best interest to lose interest in the things of this earth which will not protect them, and to rise unto those
things of God which will bring them through the coming trials, and tribulations, and persecutions, and troubles, that I shall
bring upon this earth.
Yes, I shall bring them, says the Lord. For I desire to let Satan run to and fro through the earth to do these things,
because My children have fallen prey to devils' very clever ways.
They have sought the things of the earth. My children have sought the things of the earth. They have forgotten the things
of God, and have sought the things of the earth.
But when they have to rely on the Kingdom of God, on the Spirit of the Lord, and the protection of the Most High, then
and only then, will they give up the things of the earth and turn to the things of God.
And I will raise up and church, and I will raise up a people, and I will raise up a voice in this earth that shall reign
powerfully strong in My word.
For you see, there are those who will stand only for Jesus when the times are good, but their hearts are corrupted with
the things of the earth. But those that stand for the things of God when times are bad, their hearts are pure before Me.
Because they do not care about the earth, and the things of the earth. They care about the things of heaven. They'll
stand and declare My Name no matter what! Them I will be with, I will empower, and I will use them to bring about a
massive strong word of the Lord, and a more of God in this age, says the Lord.
March 3, 1998
Removing Sin From My Church:

These days are final days which are to be, says the Lord. These days are the final days which are to be. Look forward to
the coming changes, judgments, and wrath of God.
For as the wrath descends, those of My people, who will not stand fast in My word, but look at the flesh, worry, be
shaken, will themselves be shaken by the Spirit of God, to wake up and learn to stand, not on their own two feet, but with
Jesus. For I will lift you up, I will lift you up, I will lift you up, says the Lord, I will lift you up.
Never has there been a time in the earth, such as is to come, and such as is beginning at this time.
Change not from the ways of the Lord. Stand fast in the word. Many of you will lose things of this earth, but do not be
disheartened, for the things of this earth are so temporal.
If you could see it from My viewpoint you would understand that nothing in this earth COUNTS AT ALL, except what you
do for the Lord. What I call you to do, that do and be obedient. For the King of Kings is here.
You are just entering the time of the wrath of God. Just beginning to enter into this. In years to come you shall enter
strongly into this. Look forward to it, for the Spirit and the power of God on you shall be stronger than its ever been in
your entire life, and than its ever been since sin has come into this earth. IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!
Satan will fight like never before and I will strengthen My people like never before. Stand fast. Know the Word. Do not be
deceived, for many, many false prophets have gone out into this earth to deceive many. Many false preachers have gone
out, preaching to tickle the ears the churched of My people.
Hear not the word of those who walk to tickle your ears. For when you come to the Spirit of God, He will be honest. If you
need to repent, you will know, for He will convict you of your sin. And as you repent and turn away from your sin, a great
joy and a great power shall be upon you to protect you, to guide you, to lead you, to bless you.
Hear the word in this hour. Gone are the days in the past when I will allow My church to be flesh filled and like the earth. I
will remove them from those ways. THOSE WAYS SHALL NEVER BE IN MY CHURCH AGAIN, says the Lord!!

THE COMMANDO ARMY
by Ron McKenzie.
{In December 1977, Ron McKenzie of Dunedin received the following prophecy. It was finally made public in
July 1982 by David Pawson in Auckland, New Zealand. David had received his own word from God for
New Zealand, concerning an economic crash that would precede a spiritual return to God, a Revival. He
then prayed for confirmation, and received it in the form of this prophecy.}
We are nearing a time of great spiritual battle. At
present God is preparing a Commando Army which can
fight and win under tough conditions with few
resources. Then He will drop a bomb which will almost
destroy the enemy army and will shatter the
conventional forces in God's army.
He will then send in the Commando Army which
because of it's training has been unharmed by the
bomb. It will defeat the shattered enemy army. It will
treat the injured, and reorganise, re-equip and rejuvinate
the shattered forces of God's conventional army. The result
will be a mighty victory for God.
The Commando Army is a small group in the church
which God is calling into strict discipleship. They will
reject the things of the world and live solely on what
God provides. Their joy in poverty will be a witness to
the world. They will be MIGHTY WARRIORS IN PRAYER. They
will experience the POWER OF GOD, being able to minister
to all people in all situations. Their sole motivation

will be the love of Christ.
When this Army is ready God will drop the bomb on
New Zealand. It will be an economic depression on a
scale which New Zealand has not seen before. It will
make the depression of the 1930's look mild. God will
shake the nation. It will have two effects.
Firstly - it will shatter the church. The church has
become a peacetime army unaware that an intense battle
is raging. The people have been blinded by wealth and
have become so satiated that they have sunk into
apathy. They have taken a wordly attitude into the
church and run it like a business, paying their fees and
letting the minister do the work. They have become so
wordly that they no longer provide a witness to the
world. Under economic depression these people will be
totally shattered. They found their security in wealth
and now they will have none. They found their
happiness in material goods and now they will have
none. They run the church with money so it will grind
to a halt. It will be a judgement on the church. The
world forces will also be shattered. Satan has used the
lure of money and material wealth to hold the people
outside the church captive and the crash will mean that
his hold is broken. Thus, we will have a situation where
the church is ready for renewal and the nation is ready
for revival.
At this point God will send in His Commando Army.
Because it's members have learned to live without the
things of the world they will not be touched by the

depression. They will minister to the church and preach
to the nation. The people of the church will be
shattered out of their complacency. They will see that
their old lives lacked meaning and purpose. They will
be looking desperately for something else which is
meaningful and fulfilling and the lifestyle of God's
special forces will be an attractive alternative. There
will be a great renewal in the church, as people repent
and turn back to God. Many will be ministered to and
discover a wonderful new life in the Spirit through
Christ. Thus God's glory will return to the church.
At the same time the Commando Army will go throughout
the nation preaching the gospel. The people will be
looking for a new meaning to life and will be ready to
receive the gospel. Thus as a result of a great move of
the Spirit many people will be added to the church.
The depression will not come for a short while. There
are a number of reasons for this:
1. God has only just begun to prepare His Commando
Army. They still have a lot of training to do.
2. These events will come when people are not
expecting them. At the moment everyone is talking
about depression. But things will improve, giving people
a new hope, then just when the trouble appears to be
past the crash will come.
3. These events will be a judgement on both the church

and the nation, and when God judges He always warns
first. And before the crash can come, God must warn
the church and the nation.
Although these events are a little way away they are
inevitable. At present God is calling up His Commando
Army, but He is only calling for volunteers. Thus it is
a time of decision. If we join it will be costly but it
will save much heartbreak later. If we choose to join we
must become WARRIORS OF GOD. We must become POWERFUL IN
PRAYER. We must learn to MOVE IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT,
we must lay aside all the things of the world which would
encumber us. We must learn to live solely for the LOVE OF
GOD. It will be costly, but Oh.. how great is the prize...
A Nation brought back to God..!

Confessions of a False Prophet

By Bill Somers
What I have been guilty of is warning others of God's impending judgments and then leaving
the intercession to them instead of doing my own praying.
Sept. 20, 1998

Last week we wrote and published an Article titled Alas Poor Ahab! As I was writing it I had the sense that it needed
something more tacked on to the end. Yet in busyness with other matters, I let the article go as it was.
It brought in an interesting response from Richard Breazeale. He sent me a note with the Subject line of "Who Are We?"
His first line reads: " This is a true word, yet not complete."
Then he goes into a discussion of judgment and of the need to pray. I soon saw that what the Ahab article is missing is
the call to prayer as a response to the word of judgment.
Also this week I came across an article by Bill Burns called "Will the Real Elijah's Please Stand Up?" When I read this I
knew I had been missing it. Let me quote from it.
"The Father will not allow His prophets to prophesy judgment upon His own people without first being willing
to intercede for the people and also bear the reproach of the iniquity of the people. This is the Biblical
standard set forth in the Holy Scriptures, and this is how you will know the true prophets from the false:"
What I have been guilty of is warning others of God's impending judgments and then leaving the intercession to them
instead of doing my own praying. A false prophet. Not in what I said, but in what I neglected to say.
After this one two punch I realized the need to get my prayer life in better order and my Writing in better balance.
Interestingly enough there came an opportunity to addend a men's intercessory 'boot camp' put on by Bro. Dick
Simmons of Men for Nations. This was exactly what I needed and came in with perfect timing. I came away from the
meeting with a renewed desire to pray, and a great refreshing in the Lord's purposes. So now I find myself rejoicing in the
Lord's correction and ready to face new challenges. Hallelujah!
On this same topic, let me suggets you look at a short letter from Tom Heward that came in this week. You will notice
the heart of a weeping prophet in what he has to say.

Which Of You Convicts Me Of Sin?

By Bill Somers
"Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?" (John
8:46)
The Jews of Jesus day rejected him as messiah. One of their usual arguments was that He was a sinner. And since he
was a sinner, he could not be messiah! One who is a law breaker cannot possibly be the one who fulfils the law.
We see throughout the gospels where they constantly tried to accuse him of any number of things. He is mad, he is a
drunkard, a friend of sinners, he breaks the traditions, he violates the Sabbath, he has a devil, he doesn't pay taxes, he
wants to overthrow the law, he was born in fornication, he contradicts the writings of Moses, etc, etc. And did you see
what happened when he went into the temple?
Unbelieving Jews of today still use this tactic. I came across it while following an online discussion group several years
ago. This group included Christians, Orthodox and Messianic Jews debating various bible topics. Among them was,
naturally, Isaiah 53, commonly considered a proof text of Jesus' messiah ship. The Orthodox Jews were going to great
lengths to find alternate interpretations of Isaiah 53 or to argue that it did not refer to Jesus.
One writer made issue of Isaiah 53 verse 8b, " and who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of
the living: … " And then making reference to Genesis 1:28 "
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and
subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth (Genesis 1:28)
The line of thinking went like this. If Isaiah 53 refers to Jesus, as Christians claim, it refers to his death in verse 8 by
saying "he was cut off out of the land of the living". And it alludes to the fact that he died without having any offspring by
saying "Who shall declare his generation?" That is to day, he died without any children, so no one can declare his
generation since he had no descendants.
So how could Jesus have been sinless and have fulfilled the law when he failed to obey the very first commandment,
given in Genesis 1:28, to be fruitful and multiply?
So what’s wrong with this kind of argument? Primarily that it is overly literal and superficial in its rejection of the truth of
scripture. [The entire gist if the re-interpretation of Isaiah 53, however is very allegorical. Is essence they claim the
suffering servant of Isaiah 53 is not Jesus but Israel itself.]
Let's look at two points. Who shall declare his generation? And did Jesus obey Genesis 1:28?
Did Jesus obey Genesis 1:28?
Genesis 1:28 is a commandment given to Adam. It consists of two parts. A. "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
the earth, and subdue it " and B. have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the earth."
We know that Adam failed to carryout part B and though he was fruitful and multiplied and replenished the earth, he did
not subdue it. Instead he yielded dominion to satan.
Now the bible tells that Jesus was the second Adam. This commandment is then one that must be fulfilled as part of his
mission.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:45-47)
The last or second man Adam is Jesus. Now does Jesus have dominion over all? Of course He does. He obtained it by
being fully obedient to the Father and suffering death on the cross. We read in Matthew:
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (Matthew
28:18)
And in Acts we read:
For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on
my right hand,
Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have
crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Acts 2:34-36)
I think that takes care of the question of dominion. To answer the first part we must consider the next question.
Who Shall Declare His Generation?
At the beginning of Isaiah 53 it says:
"Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?" (Isaiah 53:1)
And later in verse 8 the prophet asks " and who shall declare his generation?": Here we have three questions, who, to
whom, and who. The who that these questions refer to is the same in all three cases. The members if the Church of the
Lord Jesus Christ are who; that’s who!
Who hath believed our report?
Well we need to ask some more questions here. What exactly what is the 'our report' spoken of here. Could it be the
Gospel? Could the prophet be referring not only to his own writings but to the Word of God as a whole, i. e. the Bible? Of
course, he is saying who believes the bible, who obeys the word of God?
What is the arm of the Lord that is revealed? Often in scripture the arm of the Lord or the hand of the Lord, or especially
the right hand of the Lord are terms used to refer to the second person in the trinity, Jesus. The Arm of the Lord is the
active principle in the godhead.
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall
accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
Here the Lord is saying he sends his word to do or accomplish some thing. This speaks of the Father sending forth
Jesus on a mission. Jesus is the Word of the Lord, the Messenger of the Lord, the Angel of the Lord, the Servant in
whom he delights. He is the Right Hand of the Father and He is The Arm of the Lord.
To whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Thus when we are asked "to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?" , we are asking who is it that receives Jesus
Christ. The answer is the same. Those that believe in Him.
Who shall declare his generation?

Now can we say who shall declare his generation? Those same believers are his generation!
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when
he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2)
And we declare his generation every time we give our testimony or witness for the Lord. So Jesus' generation, his
spiritual offspring, are everyone who has or will yet follow him through the veil into the Holy of Holies. Thus the word of
God does not return to him empty or void, but bearing a precious harvest of redeemed souls.
Did Jesus obey Genesis 1:28?
Yes He did; and is still doing. He was fruitful and multiplied producing millions and millions of spiritual children. He will
subdue the earth in the final judgments and replenish the earth in the millenium. He has taken dominion over all the
creatures of the sea, air and land.
What has this got to do with End Time Prophetic Vision?
Lets look back at the three "who"s. Who hath believed our report? To whom much is given much is required. The endtime
Church will operate in a special level of faith and understanding of the Word of God. We will believe the report like no
other generation before us.
To whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed? This speaks of two features of the end times. One is the Revelation of Jesus
Christ. Having the arm of the Lord revealed to you is to have a Revelation of Jesus Christ, with all that implies for the end
times. The End Time Church will have a revelation of Jesus Christ like no other.
The second is the Power of God implied by the phrase 'arm of the Lord''. The end time Church is destined to operate not
just in a new level of faith, but this naturally brings with it a new level of Power. Power that we will be accountable for, but
which will be unprecedented in comparison with earlier generations.
And who shall declare his generation? We will. The End Time church will be the generation to preach the good news to
all the world for a witness to the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings!
All the creatures.
He has taken dominion over all the creatures of the sea, air and land. This also has a special end time application. This
refers to putting his enemies under his feet. The creatures of the sea speak of Leviathan, the dragon in the sea; i.e.
the devil. The fowls of the air, speak of demonic principalities and powers, rulers of wickedness in high places. And the
beasts of the earth are the lower level demonic power that directly attack men. The little foxes that spoil the vine are the
beasts of the field, and the vine is the Church. The demon power that afflict the Church, in other words. All of these will
be put under his feet.
As the feet are the last part of the body, so the End Time Church is the last part of the body of Christ. So these will be
put under our feet.
"And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you. Amen." (Romans 16:20)

Lindell Cooley Prophesies Over Britain!!

By David Robson
THIS WAS THE PROPHECY GIVEN BY LINDELL COOLEY WHEN HE VISITED BIG BEN BY DIVINE APPOINTMENT
SATURDAY 20 DECEMBER 1997
The elders of Brownsville Assembly of God Church in Pensacola, Florida prayed over Lindell Cooley (Worship Leader in
the Revival) and his wife Amber prior to their departure for England to enjoy a break during which time they would minister
in Scotland, Sunderland & London (details of the London meeting - which was not advertised are temporarily being
suppressed to ensure that Lindell and Amber continue to enjoy a few days break before returning to Pensacola - please
respect this but I felt I should make this post due to it's significance to our Nation).
One of the elders said:-
"I believe you are to visit Big Ben in Westminster, London and place your hands on the stones at the base of it and
prophesy - NOW IS THE TIME FOR THIS NATION."
Lindell did this and after touching the stones at the fence (access to the base being prohibited) surrounding Big Ben and
prophesying sensed immediately the anointing of God and as he looked up at the face of Big Ben he sensed God
saying:-
"The hearts of this people are before Me. As these stones you are touching are cold and hard so are the hearts of the
people of Britain but I am about to change that. Lindell then began to declare that the spirit of adultery and illicit sexual
affairs is over. The Lords in the nation will bow to the King of Kings."
Lindell then disclosed that the Lord had given him four dreams relating to England and the Revival about to break loose.
Let us take hold of this Word from God and Intercede, Proclaim that:-
THIS IS THE YEAR (1998) OF THE FAVOUR OF THE LORD FOR ENGLAND
Becky Powers, from Brownsville Assembly of God reminded me that in America Big Ben is not only a symbol of London
but of England as a whole. She also felt that because Lindell was used of God in this way there could be a tie-in with
music - Acts 15:16 - 17 comes to mind.
Acts 15:16-17 (KJV) After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will
build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men (or the rest of mankind) might seek after the
Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth (does) all these things.

Bob Jones - at Cross Roads,

Hamilton, Ontario March 8, 1998
I've asked a couple of people to stand up with me. I am not a teacher neither am I a government; I am a prophet and a
prophet needs a teacher that can ground him. I've asked these brothers that anything that I don't make clear -- I'd rather
give you one word that you understand than give you a thousand words from the throne room that you don't understand --
and that's why I've asked them to stand up here.
I have a couple of things burning in my spirit that I would like to do first. Would this young man from the top up there
stand up, this young missionary? Would you do me a favor brother? Would you give any offering that you were going to
give to me to him? He is going to Viet Nam.
Now, I came from Kansas City. We've taken big offerings before. We took a million and a half in an offering once. And the
revelation came to do it beforehand. We sent it into Russia in its darkest hour. It went into Russia as tapes, as recorders
and as scripture; that's praise tapes. We were told for each dollar that went, and I'm sure that some of you gave into that
offering, that a soul would come forth And what this young man received today in a commission, is for souls in an
awesome way. I believe that the Lord is getting ready to bring a truth in the area you are going to young man. And what
you saw today you are the point man, you are the forward observer, like what was being said over in Toronto you are the
forerunner of others to follow.
Then the next thing, could I pray for you Brenda? Many years ago Val and I had a sister and she was like a daughter to
us and Satan took her life. And I grieved about it and prayed about it for months. And the Lord told me that at different
times, he would loose me to loose her anointing in others. And her name was Brenda which means fiery.
Lord, let the revelations grow and grow in her to bring forth that inspired prayer let her prayer be in agreement with the
Lord himself. The Lord himself giving her the prayer and when she losses it upon the earth literally giving it permission for
it to happen according to Psalms 115:16 'for the heavens belong to the Lord'. There's no flying saucers out there. If they
do they belong to our daddy. And the earth belongs to us and the Lord gives revelation gifts so that we can speak them
into existence and give them permission to happen. So let all the intercession in our sister be an invitation to the Lord
himself for a visitation setting up a co-habitation in the spirit in Jesus' name and let the sweet incense of the Lord begin
to come in Jesus' Name. Lord and let her wreck the kingdom of darkness in Jesus name. Literally eating up the darkness
and bringing the light that word, let that fine light shine bright in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You here tonight are the survivors. You are the remnant seed and the Lord is getting ready to sow again the remnant. So
you are literally in the time of death and the remnant seed you sow the remnant seed with travail and weeping.
One of the main hold back here has literally been some of the Lord's timing. So some of you here were right in your heart
a long time ago but God had a timing for it and He has been working on you and empowering you for years. One of the
words I brought, but I don't remember bringing it but they say I did, in '89 in Denver Colorado was this, 'It won't begin until
Denver wins the Super Bowl.' It wasn't no long shot, they nearly went there four times and this last year you couldn't
convince me that they wouldn't win for I knew it was the timing of God. '89 means the end of what God was doing in the
80's and a beginning of 9 years of literally judging his church. So you are the remnant seed because you came out of 9
years of judgment. God gave us new life at different times so we would live that long. He gave us Toronto bringing back
the joy. He gave us Brownsville bringing back the repentance as he did several other things up here to keep you alive to
bring you to this point.
And now he is after harvest and everyone of you is called to harvest and harvest begins with prayer. Job 22:30, he will
even deliver the one for whom you intercede who is not innocent. He will be delivered through the cleanness of your
hands. Job 42:7, 8. When you begin to pray and first you should begin in your own family, pray for those who are not
innocent and who do not have clean hands those that aren't saved, those that are giving you the worst words and the
worst headache. You see what Job did here. After the Lord had spoke the previous words to Job the Lord said to Eliphaz
the Temanite, 'my wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends. For you have not spoken of me the things
that are right as my servant Job has. Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer
up for yourself a burnt offering and my servant Job will pray for you for I will accept his prayer that I deal not with them
after your folly in that you have not spoken of me what was right as my servant Job has'. So these men, did as the Lord
commanded them and the Lord accepted Job's prayer and the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortune.
I'm trying to show you something here. It's time your fortune be restored to you. And the Lord turned the captivity of Job
and restored his fortune then he prayed for his friends also and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Increase, relationally and audibly, the Lord spoke to me Isaiah 50:2 you talk about the golden horseshoe, 'why when I
came was there no man', he's not talking about a man, he's talking about why isn't there somebody in the gap-- a man or
woman.
When I came and I'm coming now I'd better find a man there,
I'd better find somebody who hears me.
Was there no man when I called?
Why was there no one to answer?
I called. I'm speaking. Why aren't you hearing?

Is my hand shortened at all that it cannot redeem?
Or have I no power to deliver?
Don't you know who I am?
You listen to all of those other million phones into your head
and your not listening to one who can really do something.
I can change things.

Behold at my rebuke I drive the sea, I make the rivers a desert
and their fish stink because there is no water and they die of thirst.
I clothe the heavens with the blackness of murky storm clouds
and I make sackcloth for morning in the covering.
Why are my people not hearing me?

For I am talking. I am calling now.
I'm telling you, you are coming to end of my church judgment and when it
ends in my church it will begin in the world. And I want your light shining
bright for they will be heading your way in the great night.
For it is time that you rise and shine you see.

And let my glory rest upon thee.
For great darkness over all the earth will be
but not in my church for it will dwell in my glory.
And like the Ark of old will it be

when Noah was lifted up high and close to me.
When I closed the door in that time
so that none might find me
in that time of judgment
as I rained my justice upon them in that day.
But this time you are my Arks
and the doors of your hearts
will not be closed you see.
And all those who dwell in darkness
in my time of judgment can flee to thee
And find refuge in me.
And there will be no dark
In my Arks
But they shall dwell
Continually in the noon day sun
And brightly will they shine
Those who will bring forth at this time
To accomplish my divine purpose and harvest you see.
For I have a vision of youth that is awesome and mighty
And youth is my purpose but I need others to stand behind them you see.
Ones that have been wounded and healed.
Ones that have suffered persecution and has had to bow to the will of mine
but now I bring forth my will in a mighty way
So that the harvest might come and ever be
For I say this to you, yes,
The trials of the earth shall increase in an awesome way.
And the things of Revelation they shall be.
Increasing and increasing until they come to that day.
But what you don't understand
Is that the book of Revelation you see
is a love letter to my bride
In preparing her to ever be joined to me
And you are my bride.
Your soul is so beautiful to me.
And I call out to thee
For you to hear my voice and to respond
to my wooing and my cooing, even this day
For I come to those whose ears are open
That they might hear what I have to say
For you see, judgments will be inconsistent in these last days.
They will fall on one town and not another you see.
And those who hear from me
Will be vacationing there
Rejoicing with their children
Wrapped in the cocoon of my anointing

As Noah and their children were in their day.
So I waited 6000 years for thee

Do you think that I am going to let the devil take you out in any way?
For I've already had victory over him, you see.
And the victory I give to thee.
For do you know who you are seated with
In heavenly places this day?
Do you know that you have a friend in high places?
That will be there through eternity.
And I seek friends that will come and talk with me
That was the purpose you were created for, you see.
So that we could be a family.
For my daddy is a family man you see.
And has great jealousy for his family
Those who grew up and have come to acknowledge him as their daddy.
And no longer stray into the darkness but stay in his light
of his abode.
So he calls you to begin to discern the times

And to know the seasons and to know the mind of Christ this day.
For he doesn't want to hide it from thee
But to reveal it
So that the heathen may see
His blessing and his wisdom upon thee.
For does he not say, 'I won't let anything happen,
Until I speak to my prophets and they reveal it to thee.
For yes, my asurety and my security is there in my word you see,
And I put you through 9 years
So that I might uproot some things out of thee
And break thee until you please me.
For you see, brokenness without understanding bring hopelessness
Brokenness with understanding brings hopefulness.
I've been breaking you
And destroying your wrong nature, you see
To bring you into my family
So that I might be the father over thee
For I do say, get ready for a new canopy
It's in Isaiah 4:4, 5 and 6, you see
For I'm getting ready to purge the church with fire
And to destroy the filthiness of Zion in an awesome way
So that my glory might come to stay.
And that my peace might rest in each one of thee.
So this is the purpose that I have been doing

In these last days.
These 9 years in your failure,
I have destroyed your human strength
And weakened you as I did my servant Jacob you see
So that I might change your nature
And that you might be willing to wait for me
As I waited for my father in my day.
And so you have failed so much
That you are coming to your own end
And you are willing to wait for me to tell you what to do and where to go
and what to say.
So that you would fail no longer
but would be a success in me.
For yes, you have now come to '98 you see
The end of my judgment and a new beginning
In this last day.
As it was in the football prophecy.

And do you know what the name of the quarter back
Who has such fame?
For you see his name was El Way
El meaning me, my way in thee.
That's what I want you to see
That it fails in your way
but not in El way.
For in Isaiah 55
'Let the wicked church leaders forsake their way
and let the unrighteous church members forsake their thoughts
And let them return to me'
For my way is not your way
And my thoughts are not your thoughts.
And if you return to me I will abundantly pardon thee
For the whole purpose is to get you to listen
That I might show you El's way.
For you see, in every thunder storm,

in every lightning strike,
in every earthquake,
in every volcano
I have my way.
For I am El Way.
And when you take the time to listen to me and get over your impatience,
Then we will begin in My Way.
For I will send the rains upon thee in an awesome way
and it will rain and rain upon your brain
And I will heal the lame
The maimed
The cripple the halt and the blind
That got that way in my church, in my body
for I do say to thee,
It is a brand new day.
The '80's revealed my prophets you see

And the '90's revealed my government and my justice
Even improving upon this day.
But now my heart cries in another way.
For I will now raise up my shepherds
And my shepherds will love the sheep
My shepherds you see will die for the sheep
they will stand between the enemy and my body.
For now I work on bringing forth my body.
I have brought forth my head.
My leadership I have already got upon the earth
and my purpose now you see is for my leadership to feed my body.
For my body is like a baby
And my leadership is like a grown head upon a babies body.
So everything I do now in my leadership will be to feed my body of Christ
So that they may grow up and possess the gates of the enemy
for have I not said continually in my word
That their children would inherit the earth
And the earth in that day,
When my justice comes in a mighty way
will bless them
For I will only destroy the world you see and its corruption
but the earth will remain and I will bless it.
And your children will inherit it.
So you must learn my word and believe it you see
For have I not said, 'that once I was young but now I am old'
but I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread.
So I call you to a new intimacy with me

A new covenant with me
That you quit doing all those things that you are doing
And do only that which you see with me.
So I've called you to open the eyes of your heart,
And the ears of your understanding
And your discernment
And your love for me.
So that our love can be upon the earth again in these last days.
For you see my shepherds will be shepherds of love

They will not harm the sheep
For they have failed so much they have learned to love.
They have been broken so they know what brokenness is.
And my sheep will know me.
Each one will know me and my voice in this last day.
So the good shepherd is coming into your life you see.

To make you lay down and be still in green pastures.
And make your soul be still and know that he is God
And yes, my good shepherds that are coming out of the back woods,
out of the slums, out of many places,
They will put to rest the troubled waters in the church
They will still the waters in the church
They will have the authority to speak against those that lie
The gossips the slanderers,
Those that trouble the waters of the church
They will put them silent and they will bring the still waters.
So that my sheep, my body may drink deep of me.
For I say this day, that I call forth deep unto deep.
And I shall bring thee by the new way that you know not.
So get ready for my power to see
In an awesome new way,
And it will called forth by prophecy
Get ready for the creative word of God to come forth through my prophets.
This is according to scripture you see
Isaiah 48:6, 7 is what it says,
For I am still a creative God
And when I give my word to my children,
and to my prophets
and they proclaim it upon the earth
It comes to pass you see.
For three years ago a great famine

in the south west of the United States
did reign over all the land.
And I spoke to a prophet
and I told him to command, proclaim rain.
To not pray for it you see
but to proclaim it and to command the angels to bring rain.
And three times on a Sunday this was done you see.
I doubt that many understood in any way
but they know this
That within three days, it rained 7 inches in places that hadn't seen rain
for 3 years.
That's proclaiming you see,
That's agreeing with God
And speaking his words that he wants proclaimed
So yes intercede, seek God
but once you hear
Proclaim, command
So when you drive your streets in your cities
Pray over them
And wait for my word to come to thee
So that you might speak into the heart of that city and bring forth life.
And so this has happen often lately,
But is shall happen even more now
that the times have become even more sever you see.
So if you don't like the tornado coming your way
Loose the angels and command it to split
And this has happened before you see
So it's time that my church rise up and become my body
My body of Christ.
That takes the authority that I've given you see
For I didn't make you pussy cats, I made you lions.
I made you to take the prey in these last days
I made you to take those who are your enemies
To fall away to thee when I give you the words.
I'm getting you ready for my fire and the baptism of fire
Which is a spirit of holiness, which is the fruit of the spirit
Maturing you up.
For you do not cry out for revival
but you cry for more and more every day
For my mercy and my grace and my light.
For I have come to this area to stay.
I didn't come for my glory to pass away and fade as it has in past days.
I've come for my glory to abide upon thee continually
And to rest upon your children in eternity

For it is the last days but it is not immediately.
You'll see the 2000's, the 2010's, 2020's, 2030's
So make long range plans.
Yep. For I tell you, your not going to fly away right away.
But your coming and going to raise up the body of Christ that will inherit,
And that my glory will abide upon thee
And sickness, sin and poverty will not be able to stand in your presence
you see.
And the gods that men have worshiped will fall down and bow down to thee
Including doctors and lawyers and psychologists and philosophers
They shall come to acknowledge me in thee
For these 9 years I worked in thee

Was to root out the things that displeased me.
So I sent you into the desert after awaking thee
And you carried all of your baggage with you.
So the first couple of years you began to throw some of it away
The next couple of years you threw a little more away
You kept on going until all you had left you see
Was a couple of water jugs and your idols of gold
Your ideals of what you wanted done in me
And the last couple of years I have just been working beautifully in thee
Your golden ideals and idols lay out there in the desert you see
And all you've got left is a water bottle and it less than a third full
so I had you shedding
And when you thought you were going to die out there
You decided to pray and try it my way
and that's where your prayer is at today
In your desperation you began to pray
Not until you had to that is
Not until you couldn't figure it out
So now I've called you to think it out in this last days
And now I will give you my mind and show you my way
And you'll not fail any more
For I'm not in my church failures in any way
I'm in my sons growth
In bringing him forth to inherit you see
for even now men and women in this body
In the time of exchange of great finances
I'm raising him up to possess and give millions into my evangelism and into
my church
I'm going to let them spoil Egypt again.
Not only Egypt but the world system of marketing
Even now, I'm moving upon the minds of men and women
And give them this knowledge.
And in their heart for me
will be to see
my word exported over all the earth in these last days.
And so the fifties, the 19 and 50's

What goes around comes back around you see
So the anointing of the 50's is coming back your way
So the 50's reveal my power
That's coming back your way
but I'll not give my power to any that have not shed the things that
displease me
And unresolved anger is one of the things that greatly displeases me
And that's what I've been doing in thee this day
To get the unresolved anger out of you that my glory might rest upon you
So that no root of bitterness or anything might defile many if I anointed
thee with my glory.
So the fifties revealed my power

And it came in a mighty way
And the sixties revealed my Holy Spirit and the baptism that then began to
fall
And produce the mighty songs that were lifted up to me.
And the seventies began to reveal the great teachers
And this is where many of you I began to bring forth to me
In the seventies my teachers began to bring my word
For my kingdom is based upon my word and my Spirit

These are the two pillars that I started back in the seventies
The eighties revealed the Spirit of God and my prophets
The nineties revealed my government.
And now my government is in place
And in a time of great stress I shall bring forth my next step
for Toronto was a step
Brownsville was another step
My next step will be my glory
And signs like you have never seen before.
And ever since you have
You'll see become golden among thee
You'll smell the fragrance of heaven
You'll taste the goodness of God
You'll feel the presence of God and angels in awesome ways
You'll hear the songs of heaven and the praise
And you'll see the angels and his working mightily
Bringing your five senses, sanctifying them
So that he can show you himself
And all of your soul your way
For what I have just described you see
is your soul
So yes, he's been dealing in your spirit and he has for a while
But now he is after the rest of you, the soul
That he might use it to bring a new day
So yes, get ready for God's glory.
And the 2010's will bring you see, the faith of God
To speak creative miracles,
To change the storms
To shut up the heavens or loose up the heavens.
And the 2020's you see, that worketh by faith

Shall bring a new day
And it shall be an army of love
And a maturity and a brand new way
For it shall be called the family of God
Joined together in a unity
The most powerful force that the world has ever seen and shall ever see in
all her days.
And still time will go on
For you have time for your children and your grandchildren
So don't get in any hurry, for I'm not
So I'm calling thee to begin to represent me
Be my ambassadors, be my goodwill ambassadors
To all the nations upon the earth you see
For a couple of years ago I began to plow you
As an ox does and I began to test you
And I began to give you the dullest prayer meetings you have ever seen.
And boy you just felt blah
I was plowing you, you see
For the ox does plow and he knows not why
And he grips a little, and that's what you did, you see.
But he keeps saying, "I'm plowing all day but there's not a green thing to
eat!
And I see the old harvest back in the fifties and the other times, yes I
see that
But there's nothing there to eat! Why is he having me to plow?
And every once and awhile I run into this old hard ground.
What's that? I think they called it fallow ground.
Yes, I've seen what it produced years ago.
And yet you just keep saying, 'plow, plow, plow.'"
And for the last few years you see, have been plowing
for the ox is my beatitudes.
And any movement that I will do will go through my beatitudes
Let my beatitudes be your attitudes.
You want me to move then let my attitudes dwell in thee
For you see I gave you a hunger and a thirst for me
And I kept guiding you by my Holy Spirit even both night and day in your
barrenness.
So you'ld keep plowing and keep getting the demonic roots out of your soul.
Doubt, unbelief, not in me so much but in me able to use you
For you say, 'You know you'. But I'm going to tell you, you are wrong
You don't even know yourself.
You have no idea how much I love thee
And what I paid for you is what you are worth
Its the enemy that you agree with when you degrade yourself
And so I've been plowing you to plow your thinking up
And to plow those things that does so easily entangle thee
To get them out of the way that I might have my way with thee
And so yes, I've been plowing you to bring you to a place called meekness.
For the meek, they shall inherit.
For you see, meekness is teachable
and those who are teachable my Holy Spirit makes disciples out of them
And begins to bring my divine nature into them
And so you are my disciple you see, so long as you are teachable
And allow me to show you my way.
In my beatitudes in thee, I called you to be peacemakers in these last days.
For they shall be called my sons and daughters.
They shall be close to me
But I'm going to tell you what a peacemaker is
Its one that can confront the issues and can bring a righteous judgment you
see,
And the first one that I wanted you to confront is the enemy between your eyes
That you would confront those things that does keep you from embracing me
Only when you are peaceful within your soul can you rest
So that my rest might come into thee and bring you my way
so if you are not able to rest
And are continually striving, then turn around and sit down
and begin to love me
And I'll bring you into that place of peace within that you might make
peace with yourself
For that is what my peacemakers first do you see,
Is get rid of all that garbage that the fallen nature has put on thee
So that you can come forth and be that son and daughter for me
So yes, let my beatitudes be your attitude in me
but I do say that now the plowing is coming to an end
In Isaiah 28:24 it says that I don't plow all the time you see
For I plowed thee for 9 years
I broke up your hard hearted nature, the clods
And I have smoothed my fields
And now I am going to cast my seeds into them
My sperm seed words will now come to my body
And it will begin to grow harvest in different ways
Even as there are different things that I sow to bring forth into harvest
Will I sow these things in thee
Different in each one of thee
for I'm bringing forth the harvest of grain in people
That my body might consume
This grain that I'm bringing forth
Is so that the body can eat your lives up
And become a healthy body of Christ.
And in my word, it says that I will show you the wisdom you need for this
So yes, I'm sowing you back the remnant seed
The drought is over now in the church and it will rain
And my God sperm seed I placed in your heart will begin to grow.
But the falls of the season you will begin to come forth in an awesome
harvest.
And you'll begin to see that the grain is out there
And it will be where my body can eat your life up
And be healthy enough to go into the world and take the lands for me
And so the next move of the Spirit you'll see will be the eagle.
And my rhema words falling in thee
Get ready for vision like you have never seen before.
Get ready for my picture
For I'm getting ready to give my vision to my body.
So that they no longer perish
but each and every one of you have a picture,
a vision for your life and a purpose in Christ
All of you join neatly together

for when I crush my grain to feed my body
You can't tell one from another
I'm going to mix you that well
so that you'll just have to say,
'we're just a part of the body of Christ'
And we are literally ministry without a face
And the face you'll see, is the face of Christ.
Yes, now is my seasons

And my eagle you see, is in Mark 16
For I've been going throughout all the earth,
Preparing my people to go and obey my commandment.
For as I have been bringing you into that meekness
So that I could show you
then so will I send you as I did my son.
So send I you into the world
That you will begin to fulfil my great commission
And go into all the nations, into all the ethnic groups
Of which are right here in this city, Start there.
And that you might begin to make disciples of all of the ethnic groups
For I will tell you this, my son didn't die on the cross needlessly
for the whole world to glorify death and sin in the last days
I am going to have the mightiest church you have ever seen
and over a billion souls will come in one great wave
And all who will can come and find both bread and wine
So I am going to begin to give the revelation
Especially the revelation of my true common union communion
for my body had been fragmented, broken apart
And now I will begin to bring it back together
For I will begin to pour my wine upon my broken fragmented body
And begin to bring it again into one body, one lump.
And I say this to you, it won't be grape juice I pour upon it.
Because grape juice has no spirit in it
It will be the best of my wine with real spirit in it, a wedding wine, a
unity wine.
And I shall join my body together by my spirit
And my blood shall flow through their veins.
For this is the inheritance of the saints you see

To not be defeated in the last day
I'm not coming for a bride that has been pinched by the devil on the backside,
and bruised and defeated and crying out to me.
I won't come until that bride does say,
"The Holy Spirit and I are ready."
And then it will be no surprise for my body
for they will be the ones who will send for me
and it will be because they are victorious in every way
And put on all of my nature
And so it will only be a surprise to the world you see,
but it won't be a surprise to my body.
I'm not going to cut anything off in the last days.
For it grows darker and so shall it grow lighter in thee.
And my light shall shine greater and farther in thee.
For I am calling forth my body of Christ
To walk upon the earth where the very earth itself does tremble at their
footsteps.
And to where the heathen does tremble at their words
Because they will have power over life and death,
over storm and fire and all the things of nature,
And by their word, by their word, that they speak as they mature in me
will there be life or death as they do say, 'rain or drought'
That's what will happen as they learn to literally loose my prayers in a
brand new way.
But now after you I say, 'a new anointing of my rhema, and binding and
losing shall shortly be on thee and you shall begin to loose the yoke of
bondage of religion that has held you back in these last days. For a
religious spirit is legalism, opinion, debate, judgment and criticism. And
none of that is of me for I am of love and they are of works. So these
things I do say. You don't have any right to any of these, you have only a
right to love and to dwell in my presence both night and day. So yes, a
door I open to thee, so walk in it and live your life for me and possess
everything that your foot does walk on in these last days.

Vision Of City Crumbling: Year 1998

Alan Senecal
This morning, Sunday December 28,1997, I awoke to a vision and God said it was for 1998. I saw a city(built by men) in
which there was a great cathedral type temple(built by men), the city was encompassed by a great wall with many gates
(built by men). There were people leaving the city from every gate, in small numbers, like families and sometimes just
individuals. Away from the city, all over the countryside and beyond were what looked like houses, some small and
others that were larger, some much larger like inns or hotels.
What I began to notice was that the light from the windows of these houses was shining brightly like little beacons all
over the countryside as far as you could see. Then I noticed that the city was crumbling, the walls, the buildings and the
temple. The people that were still inside the city did not seem to know what to do about it, some didn't even seem to
notice and even others tried not to notice, ignoring what was happening all around them. Some of the people tried to
repair the walls and buildings and the temple but it appeared that they did not have the right tools nor did they have the
correct recipe for the mortar. As a result, everything continued to collapse around them.
This created a cloud of dust over the entire city so that any light from this great city appeared as a dim, hazy, barely
visible light. I realized that many of the people would never leave, the numbers of those leaving began to be fewer and
fewer and less and less often.
As all of this unfolded before me, the lights from the houses scattered across the countryside began to glow brighter and
brighter and God said," I am calling my people out. I am calling them out of the structure and the system that has been
made with the hands of men. This is the year of The Calling Out of My People. I am calling them out to Myself.
What is about to take place will take place outside of the church system of men it will take place outside the gate
outside of the walls. I will tear down the work of men a use those that are called out, those who hear My Voice, those
who truly love Me and know me as their Father, I will use them to build and plant and reap a harvest. For they will be the
Living Stones that I will use to build My City, My Temple, My Kingdom."
I will not add another word to this, I'll just say Amen for now.
God bless. In Christ,

Alan Senecal

The Cry of the Lord

Gary Patterson
Oh My people hear My cry. From My heart, there has gone forth a cry of war for I have stirred up My zeal as a man of
war. My desire is to raise up a people in this hour of whom there has been none the like; a people who turn to Me and
love Me with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength even as King Josiah in the days of old; a people who will spare
nothing of idolatry in their hearts and in the land.
There are those who forever seek but never truly find for they always seek for their own personal gain and not for Mine.
Who among you will lay down your life that you may find it? Who among you will allow Me to do a thorough work and not
just a superficial one. For surely my winnowing fan is in my hand and I will THOROUGHLY purge My threshing floor.
You have not yet experienced the fullness of My joy that I desire to give to you. You will know it when you bear fruit
according to the measure of My Spirit that I have poured out upon you. The greatest measure of My glory and anointing
is yet to be revealed. It is reserved for those who will seek to take up My cause and My grief for those who are under My
wrath. As Queen Esther was exalted to her place in those days, even so I desire to lift My Church to a place above all
reproach and above the accusations of her enemies. So that from that place she, as Esther, may procure deliverance,
even at the expense of her own life, for those sentenced to death.
Who will take up My cause?
I desire to do a thorough work in the earth, but you must allow Me first to do it within you. So come to the Refiner's Fire
and again I say, "Come!"

The Coming Spiritual Flood

Rick Mann
The Lord showed me in a very vivid dream a vision of a flood that is coming that will effect the whole earth. This flood
pertains to His Church and their hunger to be in His presence. They want Him to move in a sovereign way in their lives,
but they are afraid to get into the river of God. He said that the rain that He has poured on Pensacola cannot be
contained. The flood of His presence is going to hit us suddenly. All that come near the banks to see what it is will get
pulled in and tumbled head over heels in the flood waters of His mercy and His love. We will be undone.
Because we will not pull aside in our busy lives and come and drink of His water and bathe in His presence, He will come
upon us suddenly with a wall of water of His mercy and His love. It will completely change any that fall into it or that get
in its way. Those of us that have been waiting for His presence will see our friends and loved ones that have been tortured
in some way by the Enemy, healed in a moment, never to be the same again. The flood of the Holy Spirit will overtake
them and heal them.
It will burst up from an underground torrent that will be a fountain of water that will flood our community and then our state
and then our country. Any that come and see will be hit by the wall of water and His Holy Presence and will be washed
and healed and will never be the same again. He will do this for us because we are thirsty, yet we won’t pull aside and
drink. We know we need filled with His power in order to do His work, yet we won’t stop what we are doing and see what
God is doing. Therefore, He is coming with His flood and will overtake us in an instant and will cover us all with His love
and His mercy.
Pray that He will spring forth in our presence. Pray that we will see His might and His power and His glory, that His
Name will finally be glorified and not drug around in the dirt anymore. God is not a god of weakness or poverty or
sickness or hate. He is the God of power and riches and glory and love. He wants a people that will worship Him with
clean hands and a pure heart. The hour is late so He will do a quick work.
Father, hit us with Your flood!

Current State Of The Church

Lavinia Taylor
Current State Of The Church International At A Time Of A Major/Final Move/Outpouring Of God's Spirit In The Earth
And At The Time Of God's Great Shaking Of The Structures Of Religious Christianity.
Dream by Lavinia Taylor (basketballer and Daystar member)
[Taken from Dreams and Visions List NR 91]
on 12 Feb 1998 and
comments [in italics] by Paula M. Cavu.
"I was at a International Veteran’s basketball tournament in a city called Ipswich. Ipswich was at the beach at the mouth
of a big river. This game I was playing in was the grand final and it was the last game of the tournament. "
International basketball tournament in a city - International corporate Church activity. City at the mouth of the River - The
Church that is dependent on the Holy Spirit. Grand final and last game - A major activity of the Church in the Holy
Ghost.
"The team I was in had no uniform. So I had to go and see if I could borrow a set from a friend."
Team had no uniform - Daystar type prophetic ministry has no Christian denominational or group identification but rather
a corporate
"The stadium was a split level. The court area was at the top level. The ground level was where people could sit and
watch or just talk to each other. I went up to the court level and saw that officials at this tournament didn’t do much
preparation for this game.
I went over to the courts and saw that the game still hadn’t started. The officials were just walking around looking
important. They were waiting for something - don’t know what."
Split level stadium - probably highlighting the divisions in the churches. Court representing where actual spiritual Church
activity take place is above (heavenly) spectator ground level (earthy) Christianity. Officials not prepared and just waiting
for don't know what – Church leaders generally are not preparing for and not discerning God's visitation in this major/final
activity of God in the Church!
"In the meantime, a great big storm was brewing. The whole place was going dark real quick. I knew the place would not
be able to withstand the storm. There were two reasons for this. The first one was because the courts were not
undercover and secondly, a big section of the stadium was very old. It reminded me of the old miner’s day. The
woodworks were old very old. The paint was all gone and boards were exposed to the elements. The structures were very
fragile (It would shake if you walked on it).
As we were waiting for the game to start there were a lot of families arriving to watch the game. The storm was still
brewing. The skies were now dark with clouds. Again I looked over to the officials and still they didn’t care or even worry
about the storm. I felt sorry for the people because they couldn’t even see the storm coming. There was a feeling of
gloom over the whole place."
The storm of the great shaking of God upon the Church international will threaten to breakdown unsound structures.
Much of the people and leaders do dot discern the time of God's shaking in order to purify His Church. God's prophetic
people will hear God and do His will and in this they shall not be moved!
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth,
much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth
only, but also heaven.
And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are
made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God
acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Heb 12:25-28

Dagon's Last Stand

by Bill Somers
A look at the incident with the Philistine god Dagon as a type of Satan, and what happens to him.
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth
before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground
before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the
threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of
Dagon in Ashdod unto this day. 1 Sam 5:2-5
Let's get right to the point. The story of the Ark of God in the temple of Dagon is typical of the Incarnation, the Coming of
the Lord. The first day that the ark resided in the temple speaks of the First coming of Jesus and the second day speaks
of the Second Coming. Let's look at a few points.
A. As the Ark came down from Israel, Jesus came down from Heaven.
The land of the Philistines was along the sea coast to the west of the hill country where the Israelites lived.
For the Ark to travel from its home with the children of Israel to reach the Philistines, it had to go down. Down
from Israel to the Coast.
B. It came into the land of the Philistines; likewise Jesus came to dwell among men.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, …. (John 1:14)
C. The ark entered Dagon's temple; Jesus entered Satan's kingdom..
D. And Dagon fell upon his face before the ark; And Satan was defeated.
…. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be
moved at his presence, ….. Isaiah 19:1
And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, ….. Mark 3:11
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke 10:18
E. They took Dagon and set him in his place. It is man who has given Satan his place.
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? (Romans 6:16)
In case you need to make a connection between idols and demons or unclean spirits, consider the following scripture.
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: …. (1
Corinthians 10:20)
Passover
In Exodus we read of the Lord's judgment against Egypt. At Passover the most important judgment took place. It was a
judgment against the people of Egypt and against their gods; their idols. It also took place overnight.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both
man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. Exodus 12:12
The Passover is a time that speaks of redemption and judgment. This passage refers to a judgment the Lord carries out
at Passover. The first time was at the time of Moses. This instance set the pattern.
The episode with the ark in 1 Samuel concludes with the ark returning to Israel.
And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and
saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it. (1 Samuel 6:13)
We know that the wheat harvest takes place about the time of Pentecost, 50 days after Passover, so the time the ark
entered Dagon's temple may well have been at or near about the Passover.
The next time is during His first coming, at the Passover when Jesus was crucified. The prince of this world is judged at
that point.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. (John 12:31)
It corresponds to Dagon's first falling.
The Next time to come will be the fulfillment of Passover that takes place at the second coming.
This will be the final judgment of the prince of this world, when Satan is stripped of his power [hands] and authority
[head]. [If you think I'm hinting at a connection between Passover and the Second Coming, you're right.]
This corresponds to Dagon's second falling over, and losing his head and hands.
After Jesus rose from the dead, we find in Matthew:
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
(Matthew 28:18)
But elsewhere we read:
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy
footstool? (Hebrews 1:13)
This is a reference to Psalm 110.
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms
110:1
Back in Hebrews it says:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. ….. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
(Hebrews 2:8)
That is to day even though Satan has fallen he still has power and authority in this world.
How can this be if all power is given unto Jesus? This is because Jesus does not yet exercise this power. But in
Revelation chapter 11 we read of a time when He will exercise this power. It comes just after the resurrection of the two
witnesses and the sounding of the seventh trumpet.
And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped
God,
Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou
hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. (Revelation 11:16-17)
At this time, our proclamation of Our God Reigns takes on a whole new meaning.
F. So the ark stayed overnight in Dagon's temple a second time, and Dagon fell again, this time losing his head and
hands. And this points to a second confrontation between Jesus and Satan, after a dark night of judgment, when Satan
will lose all power and authority.
Samson
Dagon is mentioned also in Judges 16 where Samson, a type of the end time church, is brought out of prison. The
Philistines were celebrating their great victory over Samson by offering a sacrifice to Dagon. But God restored Samson
who then destroyed the Temple of Dagon. A foreshadowing of the destruction of Satan's kingdom.
… the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment…. (Job 20:5)
The Footstool
We find the following verse in two places in the Bible. It refers to David, a type of Jesus, and thus to Jesus and also to
the church.
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 2 Samuel
22:41 and Psalms 18:40
In Joshua there is a passage that details what it means to be given the necks of your enemies. Recall that Joshua is
also a type of Jesus.
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of
Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon
the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the
LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. Joshua 10:24-25
So to be given the necks of you enemies means to put them under your feet. Now recall Psalm 110 where it says:
The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Psalms
110:1
This means that getting the necks of your enemies makes them your footstool. When Dagon lost his hands and head, all
that was left was a stump. And a stump makes an excellent footstool. The stump of Dagon started just below the head,
at the neck, so Dagon's neck became a footstool.
So the Lord will make Satan a footstool for Jesus, who is seated at His right hand.
And His church will share in that final victory. As the Church is His Body, the feet speak of the last part of the Body, or
the end time church. The feet that are made clean being washed with tears of repentance, and anointed by worship in his
presence.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that
bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! (Isaiah 52:7)
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you. Amen. (Romans 16:20)

The Darkness.
Richard Millard
For the past few weeks my heart has been greatly troubled as I am seeing something coming upon
the face of this earth. I have been in the spirit reliving something's that happened to me in younger
years. [ some who may read this may become very upset, may ask again not to hear from me again,
never the less I feel I must obey what I feel in my spirit ]
Many years ago I went to a little store front church where the preacher worked with some of the
poorest of that huge city. He appeared to have a great anointing upon his life. we all loved him dearly.
He appeared to have one of the kindest hearts I ever met, I love him still. He was like a father to me;
He had went to some kind of Bible seminary, but the young men working with him were like country
boys gone to the big city preachers if you know what I mean.
One of these young men ask me to go with him to take his mother in law home to a little place down in
Arkansas. On the road back we went through a wooded forest. We were praying and talking. When all
at once in the spirit I seen a spirit. First it appeared as a bear then something else. We had never own
a TV in those days but it looked like that kind of a awful creature. As we went down the road the Lord
spoke to me " This spirit is at work in the church were you go, back in the city " I told the Brother I was
with;. He later said that he too saw it also; When we got home we were laughed at. I talked to that
young preacher about two years ago, the first time that I had spoke to him since 1969.When he heard
who it was on the phone the first thing he ask me. Do you still remember what we saw on the road
from Arkansas ?
A while later I was praying in a little room in the church. I seen a hole and a big black spider building a
web. Again later in the back of the church praying. I got up and told them we must seek the Lord
something is coming that will destroy this church if we are not seeking Him. One of the preachers
came to the back where I was, told me to stop worrying over every one else and just take care of
myself. But the Lord spoke through others. A little 9 yr. old on the side walk in front of the church.
A few month later the pastor, about a 50 year old man left his wife of about 30 years for a 21 year old
girl, became an alcoholic.. I visited and prayed with him before he died a number of times. The first of
three children born to he and the second woman, had some sort of sickness which he died of at 21
years old. When he would be out of his head, just a 4 or 5 year old child. He would come to and tell his
mother of the awful creature who was trying to kill him. She told of the same creature we had seen
years ago down in the forest. The poor pastor hung his head and said nothing. I have no way of
knowing if any one had ever told her about the spirit we had seen on the road from Arkansas.
I am writing all of that because in prayer the other day. I felt this spirit again over the whole earth. A
huge serpent I saw and every where I turned I saw it moving over the earth. Great, great darkness and
almost no one really warning the people. In fact much of what I hear is putting them to sleep all the
while this spirit is moving into every part of your life.
Over and over I am hearing we are saved by faith and by grace and has nothing to do with obedience.
I know I am not a very smart nor educated person. But I want to ask you if when the Lord said to you,
Believe on me, what did you do ? Did you obey him ? what would happen if you had not. Noah found
grace in the sight of God. But what if when the Lord said build me a boat. Noah had not obeyed ?; No I
am not saying salvation is of works but it is of Love and if you Love him enough you will obey him ! The
Bible said it was for those who love him. and he said if you love me keep my commandments. If you
truly believe, I believe that faith commands you to obey him. It is not to those that hear only but to those
who obey him also.
I have read 3 or 4 the past few days telling of the dangers of the teaching that salvation comes from
obeying him. But do you know that both side of the road has a ditch ? Look not to the left hand nor to
the right. Because both sides is a ditch. Those that have gone into laws and works did not get there
because they obeyed God. They are there because some where they did not obey him. If you truly
obey him it will bring you to a brokeness. It will keep you at the foot of the cross. It will teach you above
all else, you have no power to save your self. And because you don't you must love and obey the one
who does.
On the other side of the road from those who are full of laws are those like the many I hear of and have
talked with. Who are in beer joints until morning. Young men and women who's husbands and wives
do not know who their mate has been in bed with before they got home. They have told me, our
preacher says obedience has nothing to do with it, that was all under the law. Well I believe Love has
something to do with it. And that Love you can not create your self. The Love that will keep you out of
the bars and out of your neighbors bed is the gift of God. I believe if I find grace in the sight of the Lord
he will give me grace to obey him. He gives grace to the humble, but he resist the proud. The proud
can not obey him no matter witch side of the ditch they are in.. The power to obey him comes from
him. But I believe we do have to desire to. Yet that desire comes from him. Delight your self in the
Lord and he will give you the desire of your heart; To me more than a new car or new home. The right
desire it self is a gift from God. If you delight your self in him enough. I tell you it will not give you the
desire to stay drunk. If we have a desire for somebody else's wife some where our desire for flesh
was greater than our love for him.
Day by day hour by hour, some how God let me make the choice that I would rather be in your
presence than in the arms of the flesh.
In the 70's I saw a mountain went high up. I went up and after a while I saw some one had came and
taken down the guard rails and warning signs. I saw people in great numbers crashing off the
mountain into the darkness below. I cried out to the Lord why have they taken down the warning signs
and guard rails ? As I was praying yesterday, I believe we are living in that hour the warning signs and
guard rails are being removed. if we do not truly love him we are going to end up in the ditch or off into
the darkness below. But Jesus do not allow me to be one taking down the warning signs. I do not want
to see people in the ditch or dying with aids or homes that are broken, and hear them tell me they
trusted what I told them.
O it is an hour to keep our eyes upon the Lord, I know I am not a good enough person to save my self.
We must seek the Lord with all of our heart. All that come to him must believe that he is and that he is
the rewarder of those that diligently seek him. We live in an hour to many it looks like that is not so.
Preachers are telling us it is not so. Saying that it is only Gods grace and mercy and not our seeking,
and in some measure they are right, except for the grace and mercy of God our seeking would be in
vain. But my seeking him my desire to obey him is because I believe he is a God of mercy. If he were
not, prayer would truly be in vain. I believe he is a merciful God and that causes me to seek after him,
to please him. To be near Him.
All that know me, know we have gone through great tribulation, but my heart cries out "though God slay
me yet will I trust him ". My cry is for God to keep us from this great hour of darkness when the very
best of us are not good enough to keep our selves. It is not that it does not matter how you live, but
knowing you have no power in your self to live it except by the Grace of God. The life we now live, we
live by the faith of the son of God.
God love and keep you unto the day of his appearing.

The Dark Sayings

Bob Neuman
Children, Believe ME With All Your Hearts when I SAY;

I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE NATIONS.
I WILL BE EXALTED AMONG THE PEOPLES.
It is good if you believe it, better if you do it. there are so many believers yet so few 'doers' among you. And what, MY
children, am I speaking of? MY WORD. NOT PART....ALL.
You like MY "BEHOLDS", but not MY "WOES''. Why? Little children have many likes and dislikes that originate in the
child's judgement. Do you really trust that Eternity is balanced on your childish ways? Then you must seek MY WAYS
and not your own. Put aside your pet interpretations of reality. Your philosophies, theologies and theories created to
separate yourselves from your brothers and sisters. Put them aside and seek out MY WAYS and MY WISDOM. And
within the totality of MY WORD is all WISDOM. Within the Fullness of MY SON , MY SPIRIT has breathed all into you.
All has been given to you if you choose that which is TRUTH.
Are you that much unlike Solomon? He built MY Temple out of the treasures his father David had stored. He followed the
plans and stayed true to the blueprint he was given. But he also built his own palace and a palace for one of his wives,
Pharaoh's daughter. He also burned incense on the HIGH PLACES. It was not because of his 'righteousness' that i
spoke to him in the "NIGHT SEASON". It was because of MY COVENANT PROMISES to MY SERVANT, his father
David. I called out to him and he answered ME. And when I offered to give him his hearts desire he chose service to ME
by choosing MY KINGDOM and MY PEOPLE first. So by seeking MY KINGDOM first I gave him POWER, WEALTH,
and WISDOM. But he did not repent so WISDOM served HIM little it seems. LEARN FROM THIS LESSON.
Are you any different? IS there not ONE in whom a much GREATER COVENANT is established? WAS THERE A MORE
FAITHFUL SERVANT OR OBEDIENT SON THAN MY ONLY BEGOTTEN, MY LAMB WHO WAS WITHOUT SPOT OR
STAIN. You ask for Wealth, Power, and Wisdom all the time; but did you choose MY KINGDOM over everything else.
Did MY SON not show you MY WAY and example MY KINGDOM for you? DID HE NOT TEACH YOU; "SEEK YE
FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS...". I know you have children, but haven't you figured out
that there is a profound difference between 'saying it' and 'seeking it'. But you still expect the 'desires of your heart'. That
is what you have been taught over and over, isn't it. SO what is wrong? Are you standing on the TRUTH, MY WORD? OR
are standing on something else and do not know it yet. SOMETHING LESS.....
If I show you the TRUTH, would you receive it? If I spoke of GREAT and MIGHTY THINGS that are to come; would you
believe them? I HAVE.
You see MY DESIRE toward you has been always for good and not evil. MY DESIRE is that none should perish, but it
has always been up to you to decide. I have given you ALL, and I continue to send MY Servants to remind you of what I
HAVE SAID. For There Is Nothing New Under the SUN. Just misplaced, ignored, or buried.
To your fathers I have spoken in "DARK SAYINGS", MY SON taught in parables, and MY SPIRIT in prophecies, dreams,
and visions. YOU WERE GIVEN GREAT WEALTH AND A PROFOUND BLUEPRINT to build with. Nothing has been
hidden from those who seek MY RIGHTEOUSNESS. You look for MY VOICE when you should be listening. Still you
want to "see", to be entertained by "signs and wonders". So when they say they got "it" over there....you go out to the
desert to see. Then you hear 'rumors' about the upper room you hurry there. You are blown about by every breeze of the
supernatural. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW EVEN IF IT WAS ME, if you won't listen? SO MANY THINGS DECEIVE YOU.
I AM A GOD THAT CAN SPEAK OUT OF THE WHIRLWIND.

I AM A GOD THAT CAN SPEAK OUT OF THE FIRE.
I CAN SPEAK TO YOU FROM THE MOUNTAINTOP OR FROM THE DEEPEST PIT THAT YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO.
I AM YOUR GOD AND YOU MUST HAVE NO OTHER.
HOW I CHOOSE TO SPEAK TO YOU IS MINE TO CHOOSE.
CHILDREN, I CHOOSE TO SPEAK TO YOU IN THAT STILL...SWEET ...VOICE THAT ELIJAH HEARD. THE VOICE
THAT MY SERVANTS HAVE ALWAYS LISTENED TO. FOR YOU SEE THE SERVANTS THAT PLEASE ME ARE
THOSE WHO SET THEIR HEARTS ON ME AND FOUND THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS. AND THEIR SPIRITS CALLED
OUT TO ME STEADFAST IN OBEDIENCE IN THE FACE OF DEATH. IT IS WRITTEN..."AS DEEP CALLS TO DEEP''.
The RIVER grows continually deeper as it grows wider. TO SEEK ME is to go out into the DEEPEST WATERS and cast
yourselves into ME. The DEEPER you ENTER ME the DARKER AND COLDER the WATER gets.
But you say "DARKER", "COLDER"...that can't be GOD ! That is because you have limited ME in your eyes and cut
yourself off from ME. That is why I call out to you now. If you will not learn of ME then learn from your mistakes. Accept
the fact that there are things wrong in your life. That I offer much more than what you have settled for. Trust not your
emotions and lean not on your own wisdom and understanding. BE STILL, AND LISTEN.
So much of what you have received is not MY WHOLE COUNCIL. To many of you miss the obvious. Yet too many of you
who have raised question to those who have taken charge for you have been "beaten down''. They have told you "never
question GOD". And defend themselves with the words "Touch not the LORD'S anointed". Really? Were not all MY
SERVANTS TOUCHED? Beaten, chained, mocked, spat upon, and murdered? Where is their truth? their anointing? DID
NOT MY SON SAY TO LET THE CHILDREN COME UNTO ME
AGAIN I SAY...
LET MY CHILDREN COME TO ME.
BRING ME YOUR QUESTIONS, YOUR PAINS, YOUR BURDENS, YOUR FEARS
AND I WILL BE YOUR FATHER.
I WILL NOT TURN AWAY ANY WHO SET THEIR HEARTS ON ME.
LOOK FOR ME IN THE WORD.
LOOK FOR ME IN YOUR CLOSETS.
CALL OUT TO ME AND I WILL HEAR YOU AND I WILL ANSWER YOU.

Jean Darnell's Vision

Europe Awake Web Site
[This Article is taken with permission from the Europe Awake WebSite.]
Though the Great Commission is to go into ALL the world, our vision in 'Europe Awake!' is
to pray for a Great Awakening in the UK and in Europe as a whole. It is the European
Continent that is lagging behind most of the world in terms of spiritual vitality. We want to
see the Lord Jesus make his church alive again on this Continent. That is, we want to see
Jesus awaken his church in Europe.
We believe that the Lord is going to move in extraordinary power throughout this Continent. We also feel
that the Lord has given his word to do this. Back in the 1960s, Jean Darnell had a powerful vision (given
to her three times by the Lord) that in many ways confirms our vision at Europe Awake! She saw a move
of God in the UK that had three distinct phases:
Phase 1: Jean saw, from a bird's eye perspective, a map of the British Isles with haze over it. She then saw
little pin-pricks of light appearing from Scotland to Land's End. These were fires burning. When she sought the
Lord about this, he said that this first phase represents 'Awakening in the Churches'. Each pin-prick of light
symbolizes a group of people that are intensely hungry for New Testament Christianity, who are very hungry
for the Holy Spirit, and who would be filled with power. In these groups, the whole concept of the Body of
Christ would come alive, and denominational barriers would come crashing down. These groups would also
be tested through a season of waiting.
Phase 2: Jean saw lightning come down from heaven and strike these pin-pricks of light, particularly the
brightest spots. There was a kind of explosion in each of these places, and rivers of fire flowed out from them
onto the streets. When Jean sought the Lord about this, he said that this symbolized a visitation of the Holy
Spirit in which churches would be so filled with his fire that the streets would be touched by the presence of
God. This would happen all over the British Isles. This great awakening would be an extraordinary witness to
the unsaved. Phase 2 might therefore be called 'Awakening in the Country'.
Phase 3: Jean saw some of the fire going out from Britain to Europe, across the Channel. The Lord said to
her that this represented a movement of the Holy Spirit in Europe, and that this would come through people in
Britain that were gifted communicators - people who were especially gifted in the area of TV, radio, and other
multi-media technologies. This third phase might therefore be called, 'Awakening on the Continent'.
Phase 1: Awakening in the Churches
Phase 2: Awakening in the Country
Phase 3: Awakening on the Continent
Our conviction is that the local churches have been experiencing the fire of God now for thirty years.
We believe that the Lord is going to move us into phases 2 and 3 before long. 'Europe Awake!' is
dedicated to preparing and equipping the UK and European churches for the coming spiritual harvest
in this arid Continent. The signs are already around us that this is a distinct possibility. We are
committed to seeing the outworking of Jean Darnell's long-held vision in our own day and in our own
generation, particularly amongst the young.

The Day Of My Return

Steve Hill
[from a letter of Bill Hawkins]

Brother Hill is the Evangelist who has been at Brownsville since the beginning of the revival. .
The significance of it is in the fact that this man is the tool of gods choice in one of the biggest Revivals going today and
that He has not except on very rare occasions Prophesied before and NEVER on this subject of the end. .
" on jan.31st. There was an especially powerful presence and move of the Holy spirit at the Brownsville assembly of god
church in Pensacola , Florida, home of the "Pensacola revival".
There was some strong worship, And a wave of repentance and intercession, even wailing for the lost.
At One point evangelist Steve hill spoke; "over the past few days there has been a restlessness in my spirit. I feel Very
unsettled. I feel like the ground underneath me is shifting. I feel as if Something is about to change. when the earth
begins to shift, when I hear The roots being pulled up out of the ground, when I feel the wind on my Face blowing in a new
direction---I like that! over the last several days, some thing has been stirring. there is Something on the horizon.
.something big. .I can't touch it yet. .I can't even Gaze on it with my eyes, but I feel it---its there and its moving closer."
Then brother Steve began to prophecy.
"The Lord would say to everyone in this place: live unsettled, don't sink Too deep into the soil of this earth. Keep your
head up and your feet Moving. Stay alert!!!! Be sober!!! I'm coming !!! the day of my return is at hand!! Loose your self of
any ties that bind--if you do not loose yourself; I’ll loose You. prepare the way in your own heart and then help prepare
the way in Others. I want no obstacles !!! I will have no obstructions !! I will return For a pilgrim people !!.let the world
know that the day is approaching ! Warn them !! Don't wine and dine them ! Tell them clearly. .don't mince Words. my
word, my water is pure. .don't taint it. make it clear. let my people Know its about to happen. .what is about to happen
will change world History. nothing will remain the same. let the unbelievers, the skeptics and The religious ones know
that what they fear the most is about to Happen. every fear known to man will be swallowed by the terror of the Day
ahead. fear will overcome fear. .dread will overcome dread. The Violent will be overcome by more violence. My final work
is at hand. my Spirits wooing is about to cease. .no one will grieve me anymore. .no one will Resist me anymore. Their
days are over. let them know that my warm season Of grace and mercy will soon turn to a chilling winter of judgment and
Wrath. .my pleading for the souls of men, the passionate cry of the Harvesters, the unselfish service of my holy servants,
al their labor, all Their charity, all their pain, and all the suffering will be over. I have Heard the groans of nature. I’ve heard
the midnight cries. .My church has Been begging for my return. My bride has been longing to be with me. The Plan of the
ages has almost reached fruition. The tree has born forth its Fruit, the fertile soil has yielded the harvest, the planting will
stop, the Laborers will leave, the sickle will rust.
It is almost over.
I'm coming back !!!
I will not delay my coming to you, so do not delay your coming to me.""
Steve went on to say " If you knew what we knew about the rumblings out there. There’s a rumbling across the world
right now. We get the calls, we get the E-Mail, we get the faxes of what’s going on out there. Its in the infancy stage. Its
at the very beginning. God is doing something right now that is going to culminate in His Second Coming. He is getting
the BRIDE READY."""
(Observation: ^To my knowledge, this church has not previously said much about the Lords return. Their emphasis has
almost totally been on repentance and salvation. This makes all the more the above words out of the ordinary and even
more noteworthy it is also compatible with most of the messages we have been receiving from other sources "")

A Day of Victory
Bill Burns:
Several Short Words from Bill and Marsha Burns
From Bill Burns:

October 4, 1998: Listen, My people, says the Spirit of the Lord. I shall tell you; I will speak to you about
the times and the seasons in which you live. Did I not come on the Feast of Trumpets and proclaim to
you that I was bringing forth a victory in the earth? Did I not speak to you and say I was taking back title
deed to the earth? Haven't I told you that even in that season I came to celebrate the victory that I was
bringing forth in the earth? The beginning (I speak to you today), the beginning of the manifestations of
the sons of God, which I have already prophesied and spoken through the mouths of My servants, that
would come forth in this the year, 1998, will manifest in this month on the day of victory. You say, what
is the day of victory? I say that Satan has seduced you and taken your mind away from the thoughts
that I am trying to give you. The celebrations are not over. Is there not another feast before you? Have
you forgotten that upon the morrow, I say upon the morrow begins the Feast of Tabernacles, and it
was on the eighth day of that feast that I stood up in the assembly of the first born and said, if any man
thirst, come unto Me and I will give you the rivers of life. Come unto Me, and I will give you the Spirit of
God, and victory shall spring forth as that river flows out of your innermost being. I have come, I say, to
bring a people forth. I am not speaking about a weak people. I am speaking about a people who will
live in power, a people who will live in strength, a people who have discerned the times and the
seasons--the seasons that are upon them, the appointed seasons, the time of God meeting with man.
Now, from your mind, because of the circumstances that you are living in, Satan has washed out from
you the remembrance of the glorious appointed times of the seven-day celebration where you are to
tabernacle with Me. If you will enter this time of feasting, of tabernacling with Me, the manifest
presence of the sons of God shall come forth, I say, upon the eighth day of that feast. For it is written
within My heart --the seasons and the times are written. This is a time that I have looked forward to
from the foundations of this earth when I, Myself, would pour out the living water in a greater
dimension, in a new dimension of power, and the living sons of God would manifest themselves in this
the season of victory. It must be so because I have prophesied it, and I bring it forth by My strength in
this the season of the restoration of all things.
October 4, 1998: The Lord comes to encourage each of you today. , I have brought forth My love for
you in a new dimension, a place of strength. This question I ask you--how much do you love Me? I ask
you the same question that I asked Peter. Do you love Me? Do you love Me? Do you love Me? I say, if
you loved Me, you would stop the strife. If you loved Me, you would stop the arguments. If you loved
Me, you would stop the contention. If you loved Me, you would stop the deception. If you loved Me, you
would come out from among them, out from the powers of the world that hold you, out from the chains
of bondage, and you would come to My glorious light where I fulfill all of your needs in this kingdom.
That happens only when My desire becomes your desire and when your desire becomes a thirsting
and when your desire becomes a hunger, when there is a hunger within you for more of Me, a hunger
that compels you, a hunger that grips you, a hunger that consumes you, a thirsting after the
righteousness of My kingdom, a thirsting after relationship with me. I say, it only comes as you hunger
and thirst. When you do, you shall be filled, says the Lord God. Remove your eyes from the world.
Remove your eyes from yourself. Stop defending yourself. Stop contending for your own rights. Stop
judgment of others with harshness and criticism. Come forth and live in the light of the Lamb of God,
and then all that I have that exists within My precious promises that I have given you will flow as a river
of living water. It will come forth into your life. The manifest presence of My kingdom shall bring forth a
harvest of fruit, a glorious harvest of fruit, the fruit of My kingdom that is birthed from a heart that is
committed and submitted unto Me.
October 9, 1998: I had a dream this morning that I want to share, but first a little of my personal history.
I worked in the stock market from 1965 to 1977, many of those years as a stock broker. In 1966 three
men and I left our positions at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith to open a new branch of Dean
Witter & Co. in Denver, Colorado. I believe it was 1967 that we moved our offices to the old Denver
U.S. Bank building and shortly thereafter a restaurant was established in the basement of this building
called "The Broker." The unique thing about this restaurant was that they built booths and had tables in
the old bank vault, and this was the scene of my dream. In my dream, my husband and I had heard that
there had been a disaster and that the Dean Witter offices had been demolished. Not knowing the
extent of the damage, we went to see for ourselves. When we got there, the entire building had been
torn down and the rubble removed--it had been a quick work. All that was left was the cement
foundation where the restaurant had been, and there were still many workers cleaning up the debris. I
don't have a clear interpretation of the dream, but wonder if it might be a sign of a coming economic
collapse that has been predicted by various prophets?
October 7, 1998: Many are the words that are coming forth under the guise of prophecy. And, I say,
many will be deceived. Unless you stay in the Word, My written word, you can be easily swayed by the
opinions of man cloaked as the word of God. My word is your standard by which you must measure
every "prophecy." When a true prophecy comes forth, it will cut to the quick. Hebrews 4:12 For the
word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the
division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart.
October 6, 1998: Order! I have called for order, a condition in which everything is in its place and
functioning properly. This must first occur in the spirit realm so that you set your life in the Spirit in
proper order and under authority. The body cannot function without the Head. This admonition then
has to do with how you function with the Head and how you relate to the rest of the Body. You cannot
and will not be able to stand in haughtiness and superiority or in separation by way of offense and
unforgiveness. When you begin to establish order, the first task is to discard old, useless items. I am
asking you to discard selfish attitudes and behaviors, to deal with and get rid of those things that
create chaos and rob you of peace. Begin by seeking first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness! I have given you to the Body of Christ to be in your position, to take your place. I am
ordering My Body and bringing every member to perfection.
October 5, 1998: There is a turning of the tide, a shifting of the wind, a change in the seasons, and a
new day dawns. "Watchman, what of the night? The morning comes and also the night." The days
ahead will be the darkest and most treacherous yet known to man. You must be prepared. I say,
prepare yourselves. Leave frivolity behind, and abandon the things of the world that have enticed and
held you. It is time to consecrate yourselves, cleanse your hands, and purify your hearts. Come out of
the darkness of secret sins and private bondages and into the light of freedom and safety. In the days
ahead you must be found in Me. I am the ark of safety, your place of secure habitations.
October 3, 1998: I say, rise up and call the discouragement and accusations that come against your
mind a lie! Do not receive these lies that would drag you down into a pit of despair. Psalm 42:5 Why
then be downcast? Why be discouraged and sad? Hope in God! I shall yet praise him again. Yes, I
shall again praise him for his help. This, My beloved, is momentary. What you are dealing with is of
temporary concern. Rise up. Look and see with eternal perspective and eternal values. Refuse to be
reduced to self-focus and self-pity by the issues of life. James 1:2-3 My brethren, count it all joy when
you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Dungeons Before Diadems

Roger Daniel
There has been much written and said about the restoration of prophetic and apostolic ministry in the
church. Even now God is releasing a prophetic anointing in the church and bringing a renewal of
spiritual power and authority. We rejoice in the Lord's activity and acknowledge that this is His doing
and these are His "gifts of grace" (charismata).
As wonderful as this is, it is but a trickle that will become a flow that will become a river that will
become a flood. To borrow the language of Ezekiel, the water that is at our ankles will rise to our
knees, then to our loins and over our heads (Ezk. 47:3-5).
Many of us are waiting and longing for the full release of this giftedness. Scripture teaches us not only
to desire spiritual gifts, but to earnestly desire them (1 Cor. 14:1). Perhaps someone is reading this
who has been praying and seeking God diligently for a prophetic anointing. And because it seems to
delay and is long in coming, you have become disheartened.
Recently the Lord began to speak to me concerning this matter. He whispered these words in my
heart: "Fulfilling my promise to you is a simple matter for me. The greater and more demanding task
is to prepare you to receive my fullness."
Immediately I thought of Joseph. As a teenager, Joseph received an incredible promise from God.
But at 17, he was too immature to receive that promise. Joseph was a tattletale who brought bad
reports about his brothers to Jacob (Gen. 37:2). There was a cockiness and arrogance about him,
expressed in his gloating over his brothers and even his father. As Jacob's favorite son it is likely that
he was somewhat "spoiled." He lacked discernment -- he did not perceive the hostility of his brothers.
But God saw something in his heart that only needed to be fashioned by the Father and forged in a
furnace. The chain of events that took Joseph from his father's tents to Egypt's dungeon were
orchestrated by God Himself to prepare His servant to receive the God-given dream that was on
deposit in his heart.
For 13 years, the Lord molded Joseph's heart like clay in the potter's hand. Psalms 105:19 says:
"Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him." In the prison God was
grooming him for the throne.
Finally, after 13 years, the Lord looked into Joseph's heart and said, "He's ready." It only takes a few
seconds to say "13 years." But 13 years is a long time to walk in a promise from God -- a dreadfully
long time when you're waiting in a dungeon.
Joseph was summoned from the prison to Pharaoh's court and in a matter of moments his dream
became a reality. In less than 24 hours God's promise to him was completely fulfilled. Joseph's head
must have been spinning!
He woke up in prison; he went to bed in the palace. In the morning he had a ball and chain around his
ankle; by night time he had a gold chain around his neck. For breakfast, he had bread and water; for
dinner he ate meat at the king's table.
A dream that he had waited for, longed for, and perhaps had even given up on, became a reality.
Against all odds, in impossible circumstances, and at the most unlikely time God was faithful to keep
His word.
Fulfilling His promise to Joseph only took a few hours. Preparing Joseph to receive that promise
took 13 years and a dungeon. The preparation, the shaping and molding is always the more
demanding task.
The Joseph that came out of the dungeon was much different from the Joseph who went into the
dungeon. The cockiness and arrogance was gone. He had become a man of compassion and
forgiveness. Have you ever wondered what it must have been like at Potiphar's house when Potiphar
went home that evening and said, "Hey honey, guess who the new Prime Minister is"?
In the prison, a teenage boy was transformed into a man in whom the Spirit of God dwelt (Gen. 41:38).
Recently I was earnestly seeking the Lord for power and knowledge. I was praying from Col. 1:9:
"Lord fill me with the knowledge of your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding."
Quietly, but firmly, I heard the Spirit ask, "Why?" Someone has said that when the omniscient God
asks you a question, He is not looking for information. The Lord's question stopped me in my tracks.
"Why?," the voiced repeated.
As I pondered the question, the Lord directed me to the rest of the passage (vv. 10-12):
". . . so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing
fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power,
according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously
giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in
light.
As I read these words, the Lord spoke to my heart, "Power is on the list; its just not first on the list
where you have it." With spiritual insight I began to see that the Lord is primarily concerned for the
manner in which I live my life. His first desire for me is a life that pleases Him in everything, fruitful in
every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (this can also be translated "by" the
knowledge of God).
We often long for greater anointing and to go deeper with God. We desire greater fruitfulness and to
be used of God. That hunger for God is the hunger that God Himself has placed inside of us. Our
problem is this: we often aspire to a place of ministry that exceeds our present level of
maturity.
Our loving Father knows that we are not yet ready to receive the fullness of His blessing, so, at His
arrangements a camel caravan stops at our house. God's greater work is not in fulfilling a dream, but
in changing the dreamer. In the crucible of change, what we become for His glory is infinitely greater
than what we accomplish for His work.
We sometimes forget this. Our focus is on 1 Cor. 12. But perhaps God's focus is on 1 Cor. 13. We
want to speak with prophetic utterances. But God is more concerned that we learn to speak gently to
our neighbor and graciously to our enemies. While we long for miracles, the Lord is pointing to tired,
dirty feet in need of a basin of water.
The dream in your heart was conceived there by the Holy Spirit. Do not become impatient and rush
ahead of God. Allow the testing of your faith to have its perfect work. God's delays are not God's
denials. The dream is real and His promise is true. He's just waiting for you to grow.
Fulfilling His promise to you can be accomplished in a matter of moments. Preparing you to receive
that promise may be the work of a lifetime.
Remember: dungeons always come before diadems.

Arise Deborah
Cathy Wood
Arise Deborah, Brownsville's First Women's conference is still underway as I write this. I cannot imagine how anyone
will be able to describe the level of the Glory of God that has fallen on more than 2500 ladies this week. We have gone
from one level to another as each hour passes by. Nothing can compare to what is happening to us. We are being
released, and sent out by the Lord. He is setting the women of God free. We are His women. A new level of intimacy has
developed not only in our relationship to Jesus but in our unity with the other women. We have paid no attention to time
and schedules. God has had the freedom to settle among us and we let him stay as long as he wants to.
The ladies leading the worship have done an excellent job.. we are in the throne room before we know it. We have praised
until worship took over and then we worshipped until the Glory fell and then we basked in the Glory. For some, they took
to dancing with banners, flags and ribbons, some lay prostrate on their faces, some fell from their pews, some curled up
into little balls, sobbing their eyes out, some bent over shaking and crunching, some were completely still, unable to
move at all. Some whispering 'I love you's " to Jesus, some crying outloud.
As photographer, I was in and out of the heavy fog-like tangible anointing, trying my best to capture this for the world. I
stayed mostly in the balcony. My body would take deep dips to the side as I tried to steady myself for the shots. My
eyes want to close.. my head wants to shake.. For some reason, my hands do all kinds of busy things. Like I am
shaking something off others or shaking something on.. who knows. Before I know it , I am hacking away at something.
How strange we are.. what is this? I look over the balcony and the sight is like what it must have been like in Early
Pentecost. People under the Glory, making intercession with more than voices. A birthing is taking place in God's
women, a commission being given. Something is going on. To me and to absolutely everyone I have asked... No
meetings like this have ever been before... as least for any of us. Sure We have heard the call of the Bridegroom.
Something's up... that's all I can say.. something's up!
Each session... things have built and built... I can't imagine tomorrow... we may fly!
At least we will in the spirit! \o/
Our speakers have been Ruth Ward Helfin, Beverly Bilbo, Jeri Hill, Brenda Kilpatrick, Diane Sloan and Verl Rollins.
Tomorrow we will have Lois Gott. Oh my, each lady has brought a fresh revelation from the Word of God. The truth has
set us free indeed. I hope to make better notes when I get the videos. It was too hard to write notes with a camera in my
shaking hand!! Besides... you had to be here!!
Bless you all... I will write again tomorrow if I am able... I will also have some photos out in about 10 days on the web.

Deep Calls Unto Deep

Sherry Mackey
November 17, 1998:
Deep calls unto deep.
A deep inner working of My Grace in your hearts. The piercing of your hearts, the dividing of the joints,
marrow and even the very thoughts and intents of your hearts to produce an inner working to an
outward end, and you shall begin again. Those parts that no one can see. Those vital organs that I can
see clearly, those organs that have been pierced with many sorrows. A puzzle can not be complete
without your part, but when complete, presents a clear picture of My masterpiece. A finished work of
My Grace. As a sponge absorbs the element it is immersed in, your lives have drawn in the good and
the bad. I take the sponge of your hearts and I squeeze out the old so you can hold the new. The
contamination's of this world are reflected in the sponge as it wipes and cleans the surface of
humanity. I must therefore squeeze and immerse your hearts into deeper water. I go to the deepest
detail of your motives, I see the afflictions of your hearts, I AM familiar with them. I AM healing you. I
AM not a superficial God, and you will not be superficially healed. I AM doing a deeper work, a lasting
work. A painful work of getting to the nitty gritty of things.
You have read that you must lay the ax at the root of the tree. I AM getting to the root issues of your
lives..........what makes act and do what you do. I AM making you qualified to carry My message by
your life experiences. I give you the ministry of healing, the healing of inner conflicts, turmoil and
calamities. The healing of deep seated emotional trauma. Many in My body are sick emotionally and
are in need of a physician. The troubles of your life have taught you the value of patience in My
presence and purpose. You have learned by experience, you have walked through life lessons, you
have rolled with the punches. You have asked Me why? Why couldn't you keep this from happening to
me? Why this Lord? You are rising from the ashes and I shall crown you with credentials to minister
life to the hurting. I AM sending you to comfort all who mourn, to comfort those whose hearts are
broken. To the ruined places that have no hope, they too shall rise out of the ashes and I will give the
oil of gladness to replace their sorrow and they shall be clothed with the garments of praise as they
rise from despair. I shall be glorified by their rising says your God. I will rebuild the old ruins, I will
correct their belief system. They shall know that I AM God when I AM displayed before their eyes.
Don't be discouraged! I AM with you to save you! It is the deep inner working of being saved. The
sanctification and salvation of body, soul, (mind, will, emotions, intellect) and Spirit. The sanctification
and salvation of your marriages.
My beloved, this season too, will pass, and I will take away the sadness and shame. I will gather the
scattered ones, and I will give them a place, and they will not be disgraced, says your God.

THE DEEPER LIFE -

INTERCESSORS' INSIGHT
Joy Björk
Today is June 23, 1998. This morning I was woken by the Spirit at 1:30. The following is what I perceived, to the best of
my ability, to be a warning and call to prayer for His people. I will share what I wrote down, including the Scripture
references I found later, to corroborate what He said. I also submit this to my fellow prophets/prophetesses for their input.
PROPHECY: Rev. 15:6-7 - "Southeast Asia will have a hurricane of dynamic proportions. Sickness and disease will be
rampant, new influenzas will spring from this area, a strain not treatable by any known drugs. Only those who call upon
me will be spared/saved. (Jude 14-15, 22-23) Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan will be greatly affected. (I asked the Lord
about the Phillipines after, but got no answer.) Pray for my mercy, call people to prayer.
Next will be China - I have heard the cries of the saints, the helpless and fatherless (Ps. 10:12-18). Those who have
shown no mercy shall receive no mercy from my hand. (James 2:13) Pray for the church, that she will be spared and
become even stronger. Those hidden in my hand (Rev. 3:10) shall be safe; but know, too, that some have been called to
martyrdom, and their blood shall cry from the earth, bringing forth a harvest of revival and repentance (Rev. 6:9-11).
Call my intercessors to prayer and to fast."

End of Prophecy
It is important for you to look up the Scripures, as well. (6/23- I received a letter from someone today, telling me that
recently when she was praying over a map of the world, the Lord led her to put her hand over China, and she wept for a
few minutes, and felt the grief of the Lord. I believe this was one confirmation to me that what I heard was from the Holy
Spirit.)
When looking up the verses in Revelations, I found it interesting that the seven letters written were to seven churches in
Asia! About 3-6 months ago the Lord spoke to me about the above three nations and said 3 months. I don't know what it
means. At the time He spoke it, I thought it meant we were going there for three months or three weeks, which may also
be correct.
It also collaborates with Bob Jones' prophecy of October 11, 1997, for the year of 1998. "The destructive storms can
be averted or damages reduced if the intercessors take their authority and rebuke them, and pray against
them. We will be responsible to stand in the gap for nations and mankind. " In Bob's prophecy, he also stated
that first comes God's judgment, and if those who are judged repent, revival shall come. So we are to rejoice, He is
coming soon!
Three weeks ago I preached in our home church. That Sunday morning the Lord got me up at 5AM, to pray for the
meeting. I went back to bed at 6:30, and had a dream. It was for our church, but applies to the whole body of Christ as
well. Again, it goes in line with other prophetic words that have been spoken over the past few months.
DREAM: I dreamed I was in church, but everyone was facing the back of the sanctuary. The front was boarded up. There
was a small window towards the top and someone tried to speak from it, but it didn't work, so they stopped. The church
was filled with people, and more kept coming, young mothers with children, lots of different ages. Some young ladies
dressed in beautiful white dresses were serving communion, assisted by young men in nice suits. However, they were
serving brussel sprouts, rather than bread, and wine. Then they started to pass around a crystal bowl that had golden
colored fruit jam all around the edge of the bowl, and sliding down into it. I woke up.
INTERPRETATION: Some of it is quite obvious. We are to "turn our backs" on the known ways of "having church", and
let God show us a completely new way. When we do, the church will be full of "new believers"(young mothers) who bring
their friends (babies) to receive the Lord, too. I don't understand the brussel sprouts; they consist of small leaves, leaves
are spoken of in Rev. of healing leaves from the trees for the nations. It could mean the church will open its eyes to the
nations of the world and evangelize. The crystal bowl - heaven has a crystal sea - we will partake of heaven on earth as
we have never known it yet. The golden fruit - gold is divinity and fruit is fruitfulness. We will be filled with and partake of
the glory of God! The young ladies in white - we have our garments washed in the blood of the Lamb, and have made
ourselves ready. The church, as we have known it, is finished. We must let go of the old so God can bring in the new.
If anyone reading this has any more insight on this dream or prophecy, please share it with me as soon as possible, and
I will pass it along to our readers in the next issue.

Thy Delight Shall Be In Me

Patty Paquette
On September 13, 1992, in Scottsdale, AZ, the Lord spoke the following word to me. It has helped me through a lot of
situations and called me to a constant walk of delighting in Him. In light of the difficult times that are coming to the body
of Christ in America, I share it with you for your comfort and encouragement. Patty Paquette
"Thy delight shall be in Me. For when the passage of time has come and the things of the earth are passed away, thy
delight shall be in Me. As you question the meaning and completeness of life, thy delight shall be in Me. As the world
economic system crumbles, thy delight shall be in Me. For what has man built that will not be shaken and destroyed?
Only those things that are built on Me. And as you see the institutions of man fall around you, thy delight shall be in Me.
For there is only one place of refuge, says the Lord, the place of delight in Me. You ask to be free from your sins, from
the bondage of evil desires, I say to you - take refuge in Me. Delight yourself in Me and I will give you the desires of your
heart. My desires that I place there will direct you to Me. Come now - delight yourself in Me."
He then led me to read Psalm 37.

Denver Happenings
by David Works
A Series of Reports on the Current Move of God

March For Jesus - Denver
David Works
June 2, 1998
I know that hundreds of cities around the world took part in "March for Jesus". However, I wanted to share something
interesting that happened here in Denver.
Our march took us down one of the most "reknown" (if you like bars, adult book stores, bag ladies, etc.) streets in town,
East Colfax. The march ended at the Greek Amphitheater in Civic Center Park. This is also where the mayor called a
special rally with local clergymen last fall in response to a spate of neo-Nazi violence.
I went with my entire family. Due to the intense sunshine and heat, we stood under one of the wings of the amphitheater.
Another lady from our church stood out in the sun. During the time of prayer and worship, a rainbow formed a frame over
the amphitheatre!
(Yes, I know I said it was hot and sunny, but this is Denver. Out south, there were clouds and rain.) -- David Works
Awake America - Denver

David Works
June 2, 1998
Last night was the first meeting of Awake America - John Kilpatrick, Steve Hill and Lyndell Cooley from the Brownsville
Revival. It was estimated that about 6,000 people were in attendance at the Denver Coliseum for the first of two nights.
It's been hot in Denver the past few days (lower to mid 90's F) and so it was a bit warm inside the arena. The crowd
seemed to be a bit slow getting into it until Steve Hill took the mike and said that we needed to sing one more song,
because a lot of people needed to be delivered from bondages - "I went down to the enemy's camp and took back what
he stole from me". That broke the place open! In fact, it got really good with a few (30-40) younger folks getting up on the
platform and dancing around! In fact, there were several hundred people who remained up front during the preaching, once
again, mostly young people. (God bless 'em!)
Steve preached an excellent message entitled "This Far and No Farther!". He used a cane to illustrate how many non-
Christians and Christians draw a line in the sand and tell the Lord, "This far Jesus, and no farther!"
Towards the altar call, I went down front as I saw a friend of mine and thought I might be of assistance. There were two
altar calls - one for salvation and one for those wanting a touch from God. Being down low, I couldn't tell how many came
forward for salvation, but they had to remove a lot of chairs to make room for everyone. Probably in the hundreds.
The surprising thing to me was how many came down for a touch from God. Truly, at least half of the crowd was down
there (I went back into the balcony as I lost my friend in the throng.) On the one hand, I am so very thankful that they got
a touch from God. On the other hand, I have to be honest and say that I hope our local leaders take note of this. The
people are hungry for more of God.
We had to leave at about 11 PM and I am sure that ministry must have gone on until 3 or 4 in the morning - there were
that many people down there.
This is very good for Denver and many are hoping that things will break open here. Yes, Lord! --
Awake America - Denver - 2nd Night

David Works
June 2, 1998
"On Father's Day, 1995, God showed up at Brownsville. On June 2, 1998, Denver had it's Father's Day!" - John Kilpatrick
Folks, I don't have the words to fully describe what happened last night at the Denver Coliseum. All I know is that God
showed up and Denver will never be the same.
There was a much different atmosphere last night. Denver is a big sports town (World Champion Denver Broncos for a
start) and so we tend to be pretty good spectators. But from the opening chord last night, the crowd was into what was
going on. I am personally blessed with young daughters who like to get down front and dance before the Lord, so we
were down in the thick of the young people who seem to be drawn to the front of the platform. Sure beats staying in the
bleachers!
Worship was easy and Lyndell Cooley had a great time leading us in several rousing choruses followed by deep worship
songs.
Something was different on the platform, though. One of the worship team (I believe her name is Hazel) started
dancing/jumping/twirling around the platform. Then she began to thrash her arms around. She eventually ended up on the
floor where it was obvious she was into some very heavy intercession/warfare as she continued to thrash around on the
floor.
Pastor Kilpatrick was talking with David Ravenhill when suddenly he found himself thrown out of his chair and face down
on the floor of the platform. Pretty much everyone else was jumping/dancing/running around and God was in control.
I noticed an area to the back of the platform where those who were being touched by God were
sitting/lying/shaking/whatever. Looked like a war zone back there.
One of the worship songs that seemed to ignite everyone was "Send the Fire". There were many calls for God to send
his power and His fire tonight, usually being led by Steve Hill.
Then the meeting seemed to transform into a Benny Hinn - style healing service as it was clear there was a very heavy
anointing in the house. We even sang "Alleuluia" like Bro. Hinn does. People started lining up immediately with
testimonies and there were screams, shouts and one young lady took a lap around the arena floor! Some testimonies
were given and there more bodies out under the power on the platform.
The meeting once again changed in a different direction. It was also a night of warfare. Michael Brown took the mike and
remarked how when the children of Israel took Jericho a shout went up. The resulting shout from the crowd was
deafening!
David Ravenhill talked about Edward Miller in Argentina who fasted for eight months to bring down the strongholds over
Argentina. He had the drummer begin pounding out a beat and the crowd was led in a chant of "Jesus! Jesus!" which
went on for at least ten minutes. You see, the Front Range of Colorado is a mecca for New Age and other spiritist
activity. Steve Hill knows this as he has told us he lived here in the early 70's and often commenting how he spent a day
in Washington Park with a guru trying to find "enlightenment". (He also spent time in Idaho Springs and Boulder.)
Pastor Kilpatrick delivered a short word drawn from his book "When The Heavens Are Brass" teaching how to get an
open heaven over Denver. One of the main points was to get the sin out of our lives.
A man from Telluride was introduced who, during the "Jesus Chant" had had a vision. He saw a web over the state of
Colorado which was held down in the four corners of the state (Colorado is a square geographically). The web was made
out of rebar (reinforcing rods used in concrete construction). As we were doing the prayer, he saw a laser beam like light
go up and hit the web essentially turning it into ash! Then angels descended through the opening and stood on the high
places of Colorado (We have many peaks over 14,000 ft high) and put trumpets to their lips! Glory to God!!!
The offering was rushed to keep the flow of the Spirit and there was no main message, the time being used instead for
the altar call and personal ministry.
Needless to say, the altar call was incredible! I thought Monday night's was huge; this was awesome! Multiplied
thousands were on the floor of the arena either to repent of hidden sin or to receive a fresh touch from God.
Several commented that they had NEVER seen anything like this in other Awake America meetings and only
occasionally at Brownsville. It was clear that something special was going on.
My family wanted to be down there, so I took three of my girls and made our way to the floor. Some of you know what I
am talking about, as the "war zone" had made it's way from the platform out onto the floor.
As we waited, I watched various members of the ministry team walking around. One fellow (didn't recognize him) had
been taken off the platform with two guys holding him up. He was VERY under the power of God. When he would reach
out and lay his hand on someone - POW - out they went, usually in a heap on the floor.
Personally, I waited before going down on the floor as I wrestled with my desire to have Steve Hill lay hands on me and
nobody else. (Hey, I'm human!) Finally, I realized that the entire ministry team was under authority, I was under authority,
so what the heck?
Pastor Kilpatrick made his way around towards us and people were dropping left and right. I kept watching the guy who
couldn't walk as I thought it was cool.
Suddenly, there was a bit of commotion over to our left and here came Steve Hill. It all happened so fast, but there he
was looking at my girls, looked at me, put his hand on my head and shortly I was sprawled out on the floor. (This is not
normal for me. I have only been down once in my life. I'm usually on my face in tears. I was in tears all right, but unable
to move.) Being under authority is a cool deal. Father didn't have to grant the wish, but He honored it anyway.
I don't know if I have the order of these events straight. There was so much going on and it seemed very inappropriate to
pick up a pen and paper and play reporter when Jesus was in the house.
The city has been changed and we have an open heaven. I've mentioned the weather before, how it has been very hot and
dry. This morning it is much cooler (maybe 60 F) and cloudy. There has been a change in the spiritual climate. --

Rocky Mountain Awakening

David Works 13-Jun-1998
Last night from 8-10PM, one of our local Christian TV stations, KRMT channel 41, hosted a LIVE television show from
their studio which they titled "Rocky Mountain Awakening". (It's not just limited to Denver anymore - it's breaking out
across the state - at least.) This was much better than the NBA finals!
Like a lot of things in revival, it was put together with very little notice and only "sort of" planned.
The idea was sort of an "Awake America" afterglow. It was hosted by Ruben and Susan Mendez of Channel 41 and also
Pastor Barry Palser of Orchard Road Christian Center, one of the co-sponsors of Awake America.
[Note - I think many of you might know that Orchard Road is also Marilyn and Wally Hickey's church. They've stepped
into the background concentrating on Marilyn's ministry which requires a lot of traveling. Barry is the pastor of the church.
The Hickey's do the ministry thing.]
The show opened with some video from the Dallas "Awake America" rally. (The Denver video is not quite ready yet.) Then
they had a short segment on what had happened down at the Coliseum. This gave the viewers some background in case
they hadn't heard about it.
They had their bank of phones set up for viewers to call in their prayer requests. They had hoped their 10 lines would be
enough. Well, we have to use what we have and 10 lines were nowhere near enough. The phone system quickly
overloaded and failed several times during the evening.
Then the Orchard Road worship team sang "Let the River Flow" and I just about broke down in tears. Couldn't do that,
though, because I had to get on the set for an interview.
If you've never been on live TV with no clue what questions are coming your way, in the middle of a major move of God
and a paradigm shift, I highly recommend it. It does wonders for your humility. (Just when I thought I knew what was
going on....)
Anyway, I talked about what happened to me down at the Awake America meeting and how the Internet can be used to
get the word out worldwide in a matter of minutes. Some of the other points I made were:
1. This is a paradigm shift - Brownsville comes here to impart and gets imparted to. This is breaking out in churches all
over town and not just in one.
2. God will come, when He wants to, how he wants to and do whatever He wants to do. (Don't know why that came up,
but it came out of my mouth and more than once. Somebody must have needed to hear it.)
To me, the defining moment of the Tuesday night meeting was when Pastor Kilpatrick was thrown to the floor. Up till then
it was just another revival meeting. I don't mean that to sound jaded, but having been in the river for a number of years,
you kind of know what to expect at least in general terms. I knew that was very different.
After my interview segment, which lasted about 15 minutes, the schedule simply said: GENERAL FLOW FROM HERE
ON:
When I first read that I thought, "Are these people crazy? Anything can happen with that!" with memories of what
happened in Melbourne, Florida when Randy Clark showed up in my mind.
Well, that didn't happen tonite, but it was crazy all the same. The phones ringing, the crowd getting into what was going
on around us and out there in people's living rooms as the prayer requests flooded in - depression, financial need,
suicide, marriage problems, people getting saved, Pastor Palser had a word about an alcoholic and he called in.
Back on the main set, there were more interview with other pastors from around the city. Pastor Curtis Dean talked about
his previous trips to Pensacola (and how he demanded to be re-baptized after he came back! Not that he wasn't saved
before. He just "felt" like he had never been saved before!) and also how Awake America had once again revitalized his
ministry.
I need to apologize for not getting everyone's names that Pastor Palser interviewed. I believe there was a Pastor
Gonzalez from the Spanish Assembly of God and there was also a Pastor Scott, I think. I'll try to do better, but this is
the craziest thing I've ever seen - pastor after pastor talking about God breaking out in their church. In my defense, I must
say it is hard to be a participant and a reporter at the same time. But don't stop it, Lord, I'm having the time of my life!
Interspersed with the interviews and praying over the prayer requests was music. We had a great young man sing some
incredible rap. (It isn't just Vineyard music anymore folks.)
In case you didn't catch it, there are different cultural/racial groups involved in this. Ruben Mendez is Hispanic, as is
Pastor Gonzalez. It's great to hear it both in Spanish and English. Although not physically represented last night, I know
that most of our churches in Denver have a real heart for Israel. Our youth pastor, Pastor Kyle, accompanied the rap
singer. I think his name was Manwell Williams. Do I really need to say that they are black? Does this really matter
anymore? It doesn't where I go to church and I hope it doesn't for you. On the day of Pentecost there were devout men
from all nations in Jerusalem and it seems to me that the end time revival ought to at least include all nations - ethnos,
cultures, etc. meeting in one place without all the racial nonsense going on. Hello? [end of ranting and raving]
The evening wound down to the familiar words of "Mercy Seat" and the announcement that these live TV revival shows
will go on indefinetly on Friday evenings from 8 to 10PM. --

Awake America II - Denver (update)

David Works
Have a few more details.
This second round of Awake America meetings in Denver will be almost exactly like the first round - daily "School of
Ministry" sessions and evening revival meetings.
The only big difference is venue - Orchard Road Christian Center. This is being done because the Brownsville Team
simply cannot turn around all their equipment fast enough (hey, this wasn't planned, gang!) to go back to the Coliseum or
another (larger)venue.
Orchard Road is pulling out all the stops - re-wiring their building, etc. to accomodate as many as possible.
In addition, all three of them are coming - Pastor Kilpatrick, Steve Hill and Lindell Cooley.
Once again, that is July 27th and 28th.
I've just been authorized to begin the process to set up our own web site for whatever it is we are calling this move of God
here. That will be the central site for "official" Net info. I didn't plan this either, so don't know how long it will take to get it
up and going. This means that my "Denver Revival" site will give way to this new site. (If there is anybody on the Front
Range that wants to help AND is qualified, contact me quick - privately.)
Please understand that this move of God is a paradigm shift as it is not centered on one church. The awakening has hit
all over town in various churches simultaneously and with incredible power.
Even my home church, which I would not classify as "in the river" (at least as I thought I understood the term)
experienced a tremendous move last Wednesday night. People came to the altar throwing their drugs, cigarettes and
booze on the altar! There was a separate wave of repentance that swept thru the youth meeting.
Consequently, this is very hard to document as it is moving with a speed and power none of us expected. I'll do my best
with my limited time to hit the high points of what is going on here. -- David Works

Dealing with Popularity

Betty Franks
This message is so needed for this EXACT time in church history. Why you may ask?
We are going to see such miracles in evangelism across this world. Only "seasoned saints" or mature saints will be able
to deal with this powerful move of God. For sometime God has dealt with me over this matter. If we cannot deal in
humility with a personal compliment after a special move of God in a service then we are going to be totally overwhelmed
in this last move of God. Every Christian will not be able to deal the mighty winds that God is sending across this earth.
All this refining fire that we are experiencing is tempering us for this mighty move that we are entering into at this time.
We are being refined and "fine tuned" for this great harvest of souls that are coming in.
Our greatest test may be how we deal with success. We hear all this talk about learning and dealing with failure but may
I submit to you brethren, failure IS NOT our greatest testing ground. How is the church going to deal with entire towns
seeing God's power in open manifestation? Who is going to take the credit? Man thinks that he must pin the credits on
someone or some group!
Will we allow our pride to be crushed in these last days? Will we allow God to show Himself strong in us and to this
dying world who needs Jesus? Will we allow God to use us in public and private arenas? Could our greatest contribution
in a special move of God be in behind the scenes fasting and prayer? Must we always see our name in the credits at the
end of every move? Can't we let God get the credit?
Daily we are being prepared for this mighty harvest. Will we be able to stand as the mighty winds of God's spirit blow
across this earth? Will we be tempted to think that we had something to do with this mighty move other than simple
obedience to God's commands?
God have mercy on us! May we cry out to Him in humility and tears. "Not my will but thy will be done," as Jesus would
pray. May we cry out for the Father's will to be accomplished on this earth! Amen.

Destiny
by William Hawkins
Listening to Steve Gray from the Smithton revival while he was at the Mt. Hope church in Portland ,Mich.
They prayed for revival for three years , every night, three hours..
They NEVER prayed for power, revival or signs and wonders.
They ALWAYS prayed for Other Pastors, other churches , those confused and lost and the back slidden..
They always prayed out loud, together for the same thing and until they were released from it by God(Prayed through)..
When they had the first now moment(Now moments Presence of God , angel or some other real and powerful
experience) they had a choice to make.
1. was it just to draw them closer to god, make them stronger, holier or cleaner, E.T.C.
OR
2. was it for them to bring by faith to the lost.. coming together nightly without any pre-planned agenda other than to
gather together to worship and to pray together in faith and to let God be God..
A message---maybe if God directed one
The choice is ours--do we go along drawing closer to God all by ourselves until God slowly pulls away from us because
we are not reaching the lost but wallowing in his presence for self--We must fulfill the commission to the church, doing
what is first and foremost in gods mind to bring the Gospel to the Lost..
If and WHEN we follow God and do what He wants the Power will come, the Revelation will come, the Miracles will come
and we will find ourselves being used in ways and times like we never even dreamed of..
BUT:
only if we are willing to follow and to share with others the Jesus we know.
The choice is ours
The choice is NOW!!!
Steve Gray said--Jesus only asked the Rich Young ruler to follow him ONE TIME---He only asked those he choose to
follow him ONE TIME. .Destiny only knocks ONE TIME and then looks for another door.
He is asking us to live gloriously with him and we are sitting around discussing if it is worth it.. Setting up committees to
weigh it out--we must get off the fence right now or we will fall the wrong way..
By strength, determination and giving up to God--we must give in now or we will miss it..
We need to become NOW what He wants while He is still at the door...

Direction for Intercessors

Brenda Casaccio,
Dear Bill
I received this through our intercessory prayer. I would like for you to please place it on your intercessory page, here it is
:
I intercede on Tuesday night just for the body of Christ. This past Tuesday I Received 2 chr.7:14 first, then I prayed that
over the body, then after that I Received isa,52, then I prayed that over the body, then I received isa.12 & Psa. 32 & 33.
And isa.12
After waiting on the lord to hear from him, I received that we were to pray For the whole u.s.a. By states. So that on a
given day we could all come Together to worship, pray, & repent, as the whole body of Christ just as the Scripture says:
"if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and Seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then I will hear from heaven and Will forgive their sin and heal their land."
I know that this is god's spoken word to me cause a great darkness and deep Fear tried to come in to take this word.
I would ask that all intercessors join in on this to cover their state first Then others. I also know that this is to be done by
Christians only, we are Not to invite the unsaved.
Isa.52:11
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure ,you who carry the vessels of
the lord.
Psa. 32:6
Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely When the mighty waters rise they will not
reach him.
Psa. 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose god is the lord, the people he chose for his Inheritance.
Isa. 12:4 & 5

In that day you will say; give thanks to the lord, call on his name; make Known among the nations what he has done, and
proclaim that his name is Exalted.
Sing to the lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all The world.
Please read all scripture chapters. And pray effectually.

Diamonds And Magnifying Glass

Ching Co
Dear people of God,

His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts! But Praise our God
for His wonderful Love and grace, wisdom and faithfulness to each one of us!
Today I received something from the Lord . Praying that all these words will further strengthen and
guide us in our day by day walk with the great I AM.
THE VISION: I saw a table full of diamonds, of various cuts and sizes, all shining so beautifully.
However, as I was looking at those diamonds, my attention was drawn to some pieces that are extra
big in sizes and I found myself getting a magnifying glass and studying these stones intently. I was
enjoying them so much that I have totally forgotten about the others, and found myself focusing on the
few big ones, so busy showing them to other friends and expressing to them how beautiful they are.
Later, I realize that I have become too consumed with these few big stones that I have forgotten about
the table full of other similarly beautiful ones though they may be of smaller sizes and shapes.
And a gentle nudge began to tug at my heart and I felt sad. I felt like I was overcome by feeling of
shame about my actions. So I put down these few big special diamonds, put them together with the
other stones, but this time, I turn my attention to the other stones.
Somehow, as I began to use my magnifying glass and began to spend time with the smaller stones, I
realize how foolish I have been. For I just realize that even if the others might be smaller, but they were
just as "unique & beautiful" as the big ones.
I found myself appreciating each stone, irregardless of their size for each was so unique and different
from one another. And each one bring a different joy to my heart.
THE INTERPRETATION:
Many times in our lives, whether as one sitting in church or one speaking out from the pulpit. Often, our
attention are drawn to things and events that are spectacular.
Yes, we should PRAISE GOD FOR THE BIG MIRACLES AND WONDERS THAT HE PERFORMED
IN OUR MIDST. Yes, we should thank Him for the great and mighty men and mighty acts of healing
and answer.. But then, it will become dangerous if our focus will remain in them. And it is more
dangerous when we began to measure our maturity, our walk, our faith by these standards.
Oftentimes, we overlook that God WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS AND IN DIFFERENT WAYS. That
every act of God in our midst, big and small is a miracle from Him and should be treasured by us.
I was convicted for often, I remembered that many times, I focus only and shared only to others about
the big miracles and try to capitalize on them for self promotion and recognition. As if because God
have chosen to give these to me, I am better than others. And I believe that actions like these greatly
hurt the FATHER HEART OF GOD FOR we will have misrepresented Him.
We failed to remember that in the midst of great victory and miracles, there are still others in the midst
of the congregation, many among God's people who are still suffering, in the midst of trials, are
struggling. And by magnifying on the bigger ones and focusing on them and using them as A
PLUMBLINE FOR EVERYBODY (whether consciously or unconsciously). We are putting a stumbling
block in the lives of many others little ones that are yet struggling.
Many who cannot identify with the miracles and big blessings will feel more depress and oppress
thinking that maybe God does not love them in the same way as those that has received the big
miracles.
THE SPIRIT WARNS ME THAT AS PEOPLE OF GOD, WE HAVE TO BE SENSITIVE TO

EVERYBODY. We must remember to give equal time and attention to the people that the Lord will
brought into our midst. Often, it is those that are in the valley, or walking through fires, and in the midst
of the rivers that needs more attention from us.
Yes, we will rejoice in the miracles, we will rejoice in the blessings for it shows that our God is mighty
to save and powerful and works miracles. But then, He is also full of patience, compassion, love and
mercy and these must not be neglected for the latter are often discovered and seen ONLY in the midst
of suffering and pains not in prosperity and glamour and abundance.
THE WORDS:
" My people, I AM WHO I AM AND I NEVER CHANGE. I love you when you are in pain, and I love you
when you stand tall before men. I take care of you at all times. I Am with you in all instances. " Let My
glorious blessings come upon you in all ways. See it in everyone big or small, tall or short, young and
old, rich and poor. FOR I AM GOD AND I LOVE EACH ONE EQUALLY AND IN SAME PASSION.
None is greater than any other. For all are love, all are special, all are precious in My sight. " Swim
more deeply in My Love...FOR IN THE END , THIS WILL BE ALL THAT COUNTS. MIRACLES WILL
COME. POWERS WILL PASS AWAY BUT MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL REMAINED FOREVER. " The
others are tools, but the later is an inheritance. The others clothes the outward man, but the later grown
in the inner man. The others are gifts from Me, the later a planting by Me. " My precious people. Be
aware of the schemes of the enemy. Be open to the voice of My Spirit calling forth unto you. Do not
allow yourselves to be misled, do not allow yourselves to be deceived. " For great power and great
miracles will flow in the coming days. And you My people, must be careful how you handled them.
They are for My Glory, they are weapons in My Hand for the calling forth of My people from the outside
and edification of those inside. " Let your eyes be constantly focus upon Him, the one who sits on the
Throne and you will never be mislead. Dwell in His presence more as the days draw near for as you
draw nearer to Him, He will pour out more of His love to you. More of His understanding. More of His
compassion...JESUS MY ONE AND ONLY BELOVED SON FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS
FLOW. " I Am preparing great things for you. I Am preparing a great banquet before you. Come and
prepare yourselves as well.. " The day is drawing near, My people...Come, come, come . Be filled and
be made prepared !"
People of God, may the Lord richly bless each one that reads this post. I will appreciate any
confirmation from anybody with same burden and impressions.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!

Dinner at the Mansion

A Dream by Jim Rapalje
with interpretation [in italics] by Wayne Barto
My dream:
[Circumstances of the Dream The only thing that relates is the section with the name and my recent " name thing /
dream " of DC1"s. I did sense upon waking that this dream had a two fold application, one personally and one for the
body of Christ. ]
The setting was a forest like park and a friend and myself were on bicycles cycling thru the park.
I believe that you and your friend represent the prophets that the Lord is currently raising up. You are ''cycling" through
life and all the provisions the Lord has put around you - looking for that place and ministry that the Lord would bring you
into. The fact that you are with a friend represents that you are not in this alone and that are others are on the same
path.
We came upon a large, beautiful mansion and went inside, and ended up in the dining room after being called to dinner.
This confirms to me that you are indeed "on a search" for the ministry that the Lord has for you and that this mansion
represents in a larger sense this ministry which you will eventually "come upon" by the Lord's leading. Being a mansion -
it obviously represents a large ministry
The dining room had a very long table and at the table sat many kids on each side, a lady at the one end and a very old
appearing Billy Graham at the other end. I noted that he was isolated and alone, as the kids seats ended at about five
seats from him.
This is very interesting in that I believe that Billy Graham represents the old-established order of leadership and that he
should not necessarily be taken literally in this dream. Notice that he is seated at one head of the dining table signifying
a place of authority and at the other end of this table is seated a woman who I believe represents the Holy Spirit. The
children are seated directly next to the woman's seat of authority as she represents the new leadership that God is
bringing forth that will truly be led of the Spirit and will be instrumental in bringing in many new children into the Kingdom
during the Great Harvest. The children are seated five seats from him (Billy Graham) which signifies that this style of
ministry still sits in a position of authority by GRACE only. The fact that there are no children next to him indicates a
passing of the great evangelistic ministries of the past and that the harvest associated with this style of ministry is at an
end.
The meal was brought and under a silver warming cover / plate. The lady at the end of the table called to me to come to
her, and there she had prepared Billy Graham's meal on a platter. The plate only had a filet mignon steak on it, but it
looked quite appetizing. She said, " this is the heart of the filet." I carried the plate down to him and handed it to him.
Grace was said and all began to eat, but he again said grace over his filet. He looked at it and said, " I like to say grace."
The Holy Spirit has been the source of success for the big evangelistic type ministries over the years and this is finally
being fully recognized by these ministries in their latter years. They are looking to the Holy Spirit for their sustenance
and continuing grace in these latter years and now recognize more than ever how much they need the Lord's grace to
stand. As evidenced by the filet mignon steak which is stated by the woman as "the heart of the filet", the sustenance
and grace being provided by the Lord for these aging ministries is not to be taken lightly. That you actually serve this to
Mr. Graham is also interesting and will be mentioned below when you serve the lobster.
The scene changed and we were back on bikes in front of a church. The outside sign said " Berean Church " and I went
over to read the sign of activities, and the sign was a computer that scrolled thru the available stuff.
That you are now back on your bicycles indicates that you and those like you are not of the same order as the "Billy
Graham" type ministries but of a new order and that you will not stop or be satisfied with the old but will continue to seek
out the new. You stopped by a Berean Church which simply indicates that you are of the nature that will be diligent to
"search out and see that these things are so" Acts 17:11. Even as the Bereans searched the written word or scripture,
the "living word" will be "sign" to you, for you, and through you to others. The computer scrolling indicates that the style
of ministry you will be involved in will be "a new thing". Whether or not it has anything to actually do with computers I do
not know, but I suspect it might.
I started scrolling thru and noticed that one line said, " Dinner will be served by the SUPALJE family. ? I turned to my
friend and asked for paper to write down this name , and said," this is strange as this name is so close to mine."
The message says that dinner will be served by the SUPALJE family. I will expand "the server" aspect of this in the
paragraph below where you will serve the lobster. Regarding the combination of your name with the prefix SUP, I actually
got two things. One, I immediately thought of the word "supine" which means to lie down or rest. The first part of this
word combined with the remaining part of your last name may indicate that this search for your destiny and ministry will
come through God's rest. The other and secondary thing I received was based upon the combination of the word sup and
your last name. Jesus said " Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will
come in to him and sup with him, and he with Me." Rev 3:20. Jesus spoke this to those of the Laodicean church who
would be overcomers which is what it will take for you to reach your destiny and purpose. Be an overcomer through
intimacy with Jesus!
The scene changes to back to the large dining room with the same setting and people seated at the table, including Billy
G at the isolated far end. We say grace and the same lady calls me to her end, and hands me a plate with three pieces
of succulent looking lobster on it.
Again you are the server to "the fading ministries" represented by Mr. Graham. Matthew 20:25 says "But Jesus called
them to Himself and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise
authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to be come great among you, let him be your
servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be
served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many." At the "passing of the guard", you and those you represent
will be called to be servants of those who went before - regardless of their condition and present "usefulness". Just as
David would not touch the Lord's anointed (Saul) even after he was rejected as King - the same will be required of those
that the Lord will raise up as leaders in the Holy Spirit-led prophetic movements that are coming upon us.
One is a large piece and two are bite size. She tells me to take this to Billy G., and says, " this is the heart of the
lobster." I reach down and grab one of the small chunks and pop it in my mouth. She sort of scolds me but not too
sternly. I carry the plate down to Billy G. ( who looks even older than he is now ) and he takes it noting that I have taken
a piece which I am still chewing on. He didn't seem to care much . He says grace and looks up and says, " I love lobster
! " he proceeds to eat alone and I walk away concerned for his isolation. I woke up.
The second course of this "surf and turf" dinner is the lobster. Considered to be delicacy it also comes form the sea
which represents the special nature of the next move of God and also the sea of humanity that the great harvest will
come forth from. This is why Billy likes lobster so much! He knows what it represents. Recognizing this, you grab a
piece of the second course that you are supposed to deliver. This goes without reprimand by the Holy Spirit or Mr.
Graham as they recognize you as one who represents those who will take the Kingdom by force. Matthew 11:11 "And
from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force."
This verse is embedded in the section where Jesus speaks of the return of the spirit of Elijah before the great and final
day. Even so, in your dream you honor those who went before by presenting the remainder of the dinner to Mr. Graham.
Your concern for his isolation is representative of the heart of David which mourned for Saul even after he had fallen and
been rejected by the Lord. The age of Mr. Graham has progressed indicating that the onset of the next move of God is
closer than ever! Get ready!
Summary: You are actively searching for this new ministry and recognize that it will be Spirit-led and not of the old order.
It will be a new thing perhaps using new technologies. You will search it out and be firmly convinced before you enter into
it. You will also need to be ready to take it by force when the moment arrives but in so doing you must honor those who
went before you and not tear down or demean the grace that remains on them - no matter what the circumstances may
indicate.
Blessings to you brother,
Wayne

Distractions
Richard Breazeale
I have read from many that the Lord is saying to watch out for distractions. Don't allow things, circumstances, purpose,
etc... to become a distraction. That we are to look to Christ and not to what is happening in the world. For by looking to
Him we remain aware of His purposes and will in our lives and remain able to hear Him above what is coming. To press in
to Him. That the Y2K, the economy, the storms and trials and rumors of war and wars, pestilence and diseases only
serve as distractions from hearing Him. How true this is, yet I see that by looking out for distractions we have mostly
missed what the Lord is really telling us in this.
From birth we are drawn to distraction from hearing and seeing Him. By nature, at birth we begin to seek things of the
world, we are taught things of the world, etc.. Distraction away from the Lord begins as we leave the womb and increases
day by day, year by year as we grow and mature in the world.
I am convinced that at birth we see the heavenly realm of reality. We are more aware of our spiritual nature in a sense
and very open to the spirit realm and able to hear and see clearly, though unable that young to understand or
communicate. As we mature, more and more distractions come to remove this vision and hearing. As we begin to delight
in the things of this world through carnal interaction with our parents, siblings, colors, food, drink, touch, etc... Ever
increasing ability to communicate and make known needs and desires of the carnal out of necessity, too soon to
become out of desire and will.
When older we are confronted with a barrage of new experiences and sensations that are new and delightful as well as
new and not so delightful. Yet these things draw us because of our nature and the place of true innocence at birth is lost
in the business and sensations of life in the world. Each thing building upon the other making it impossible to hear His
voice above all the clamor and flesh. TV fills our time, as does radio, conversation, learning more and more of this world,
leaving behind the realm of sweet innocence of the spirit and soul untouched by man and his passion for life that is only
an illusion, really leading to death. Life is in the spirit, yet from birth we are directed away from the spirit, to the flesh.
Now because we are flesh this has to be, but I believe we, as parents and teachers and leaders have missed something
here. The distractions the Spirit is warning us of is MUCH more than we have perceived. Carnal life IS distraction. (Now I
hope this to be understood as I see it). And this gives understanding in part to the scripture speaking of the Sabbath
being made for man and not man for the Sabbath. The Sabbath is life, it is peace, it is rest, and most of all it is a time of
renewal and reviving and refilling of life. By keeping the Sabbath, those chosen of Yahweh were able to wait upon the
Lord. And waiting upon the Lord allows us to hear the Lord and enter into HIS rest. And without this we become dull of
hearing and vision becomes obscure and cloudy and eventually hidden. And life is drawn from us daily giving way to
infirmity and sickness and all the traps of this world like worry, anxiety, fear, etc... A veil covers our eyes and ears
eventually as we are distracted more and more as we mature to this world. Any and all things that keep our attention
from the Lord soon become idols and steal our ability to be intimate with our Creator. As the scripture says to build
precept upon precept, statute upon statute, etc... We build distraction upon distraction until we see and hear nothing but
this world and all the allures and temptations which would take the place of being in His presence and knowing Him. I am
sure that if a baby knew and understood at birth the cost of seeking the desires of the flesh it would react differently to
this world. But they do not and can not. This is as it is meant to be and has to be since the fall. Our very nature from
birth draws us to death!
The Lord would have us see that distractions are much more than we have perceived and thought. The walk in life takes
on a new perspective when we reach an age of accountability. I might even venture to say that a greater effort is put forth
in the heavenlies to distract and even steal. Hormones rage, the flesh becomes beside itself seeking to fill a void we don't
understand but continually feed with things of this world rather than the spirit. From toys to girls/boys guys/girls are
constantly reaching out to become full. This empty place in truth is that place lost when man fell in the garden. It is
intimacy with our Daddy, our Creator, our life. And we are taught by our parents, our societies, our peers and others that
this is our reason for being. To be somebody, to have something, to increase worldly possessions and relationships. And
once again, this is not sinful, NOT YET.
Soon enough we are caught up in this world so much that any chance (outside of divine intervention) of intimacy with God
is mostly, if not fully, lost. But in Christ we find that this does not have to be anymore. By His indwelling Spirit we are
once again enabled to come to the Father, speak with Him, walk with Him, learn from Him, and depend upon Him. Those
of us who seek the Lord only late in life have years upon years of distractions to shed. We had become bound by the
chains of carnality to the point of becoming SO bound that only the divine intervention of God can break through and set
us free from ourselves. Reborn into the Lord we are given the great and awesome gift of reconciliation, restoration, and
completion, and healing of the soul before the Father.
Jesus set the pattern in the NT for this. When the Spirit descended, He immediately went into the wilderness and prayed
and fasted. He did not go fishing, go preaching, go fill His time in the world, but He humbled Himself and sought the
Father. He put distractions behind Him and set His face before His Father to KNOW His will above all other things and
walk in it. He faced temptation and trial and testing and distraction by not allowing anything to cloud His mind and
purpose.
How hard it is for us to KNOW Him! No wonder Paul spoke of the trials of walking in true faith and obedience in Romans.
'I do that which I do not want to do, and do not that which I would want to do.' He saw the deceit of the carnal verses the
truth of the spirit and confessed his weaknesses in this. He humbled himself before the Lord to die to self. A self that
was formed through years and years of distractions and deceitful understanding of who/what we are and Who/What God
is. Dying to self if seen in the light of His truth and word then reveals the fullness of what this means. We are spirit, and
we move and live in this vessel of clay. But we have been raised as this vessel instead of the image of God which is
Spirit. Contrary? It can be no other way. We live and move in a world which is so contrary to spirit that it is consumed in
the presence of the Lord and burnt to nothing.
It is easy to see why persecution must come to those who live and breath and walk in the spirit. The world cannot
understand, the world is threatened by the truth and light of God and His true people. We are 'peculiar', we are a threat,
we are a reminder to Satan and a curse to the world which is in decay and deceived. We obey the commandments
because of our love for Him and in doing so the world hates us. For by nature the world rebels against spirit. Indeed the
world rebels against itself. We obey the laws of the land and it goes against the grain of this world as well. Rebellion.
That is the nature of the flesh. Flesh feeds upon flesh until it destroys itself and tries to destroy all that is around it. But
for grace this world would be destroyed already. Distractions abound and man year by year, month by month, day by day
becomes more and more insane. Flesh seeking, for what it does not know. In a very subtle way comparatively we are like
the crack cocaine addict. More! More! Faster! Faster! Here! There!......... With the ONLY relief that isn't temporary being
the presence of the lord in our lives. In this we find contentment in Him which is true sanity.
Distractions? We are/have been a distracted people, both saved and unsaved. The Lord would have us seek His heart.
Seek a DEEP work in our hearts. He wills to shine the light of His love upon our hearts to set us free. For us to crucify
the flesh and find the true freedom and liberty of knowing who we are before God and Who He is. To receive all He has for
us, and be all He has called us to be HE has to become our only distraction.
So is it any wonder He is coming to STOP the world? Anybody hearing this? Y2K, economic disaster, earthquakes,
storms, plague and pestilence, etc.... I believe sooner than we think we will indeed seek His face in truth and in spirit.
The world will stand still and KNOW He is God! We WILL enter His rest, or we will run in fear and trembling. All idols
(things put before Him, distractions) will be tore down! And He does this BECAUSE He loves us. If He stays His hand we
would destroy ourselves completely and to our damnation if not for this love and MUCH mercy and grace.
As the people were given opportunity to speak with the Lord God Himself at Mount Sinai but they coward in fear at His
voice, we are now once again being given (for 2000 years now) this choice. This time MUCH more hangs in the balance.
This time is the blessings are coming on the wings of judgment, All will be shaken, only that of Him will be left standing.
The difference between what is left in one or another will be determined upon our ability to not allow distractions to rule
and blind and make one deaf, as well as our willingness to truly give all we are to Him.
All for now.........
In His service..........Lazarus

Do Not Be Distracted
William Gilligan
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. The lion has
roared - - who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken - - who can but prophesy? Amos 3:7-8
Sunday, September 13, 1998

The Lord led me this morning to 1 Kings 13 and the story of the Prophet that was distracted. After reading the scripture,
the Spirit of God came upon me and said that this was a Word to the Body of Christ. He said to put it on the Internet and
that He would bring those that needed to see it - internationally - to our site.
"Do not be distracted says the Lord. Even as the prophet of old was distracted, so am I telling you this day, do not be
distracted. For the time has come for the man of God to rise up and be made known. The time has come for the dawning
of a new day. The time has come for the anointing to fall in a new way says the Lord. And Even as you have expected
the sun to rise from the east and set in the west and that which you did yesterday to be that which you'll do tomorrow, so
shall you see a new day and a new way for the sun to arise. That which you have expected, the same old thing, is about
to change says the Lord. That which you have expected will now change.
Don't be distracted from the path that I have called you to walk says the Lord. Many have tried to deceive you says the
Lord. Be not deceived.
And the Spirit of the Lord says that there are many things about to be fall this earth. Be not afraid or dismayed. BE NOT
DISTRACTED from the work I have called you to. Fulfill those things I have put in your heart says the Lord, for now is the
time for your joy to be made complete and for those dreams and desires stored up within your heart to come to pass in
mighty ways says the Lord.
I am about to speak to my people - all my people - through dreams and visions, through desires and hopes, through
ministers of the Gospel and men of God, I am about to speak to my people says the Lord that they are to fulfill those
things I have given them to do. They are to begin to walk them out and to fulfill the Word of the Lord over their lives. Says
the Lord.
I am about to give them clear direction says the Lord for the things they are to do says the Lord. Tell them: Do NOT be
distracted for this is the time I have called you to. A time to be fulfilled.
And where you have had your hands bound in the past says the Lord, they shall no longer be bound. And where you have
found yourself hindered says the Lord, you shall no longer be hindered. And where you have found yourself held back
says the Lord, you shall no longer find yourself held back. For this is a time and a season where I shall pour out my
Spirit on all flesh says the Lord. Stay on the path I have called you to says the Lord. Stay the course. Many winds shall
blow says the Lord. They shall blow from the east and from the west. But the Lord says you stay the course. When no
wind blows, stay the course. When many winds blow, stay the course. When the way is difficult and the storms arise -
stay the course. Stay the course for many winds shall blow in this day.

David's Mighty Men Of Valor

by Nita Johnson
At the end of April The Lord sent His messenger to me in a vision. He spoke to me very briefly "The Lord hates
denominationalism, and He hates dispensationalism because they deprive the body of power. Also, the "high prophets",
(David's Mighty Men of Valor) will not be released in their highest calling until closer to the end of the age."
It will be these mighty men of power and authority who will take the Church into the great "Apostolic Age." My
expectation was that they would begin to arise one by one in a slightly diminished authority and power about the fall of
98. But, I have been corrected. They will begin to appear upon the scene toward the end of this year, but only in the
infancy of their anointing.
This anointing will fall under the category of the John The Baptist anointing.
So, the Church will begin to be graced by a higher spiritual awakening around the Feast Of Tabernacles of this year. But,
this new outpouring of God's manifested presence will only be given in diminutive form. Of course this will still begin to
bring the Church into greater releases of God. So we will welcome it. Furthermore, they will be used to purge Zion, which
will always allow greater expressions of God's grace and power in and among His own. The call to purity and holiness is
going to be increasingly greater through the next ten years as God continues to deal with the sins of the Church and
nations. This will bring us ever closer to the strong arm of the Lord being manifested in the future in great judgment and
glory through these high prophets in full authority judgment to the unrepentant and glory to the pure as God's name and
the Cross of Jesus Christ is lifted higher and more greatly magnified than ever before in history.
These mighty men will be used by the Lord to bring the Church into the promised land wherein we will see the
manifestation of the adult sons of God. These will be believers who have left the world behind and have been
experientially crucified with Christ manifesting His glory, as only they will be given the privilege to do. They will bear the
seven spirits of God and will flow in great miracles. Because of the glory that will rest upon their lives the whole prepared
Church will be brought into a place of much greater glory, wisdom, power and authority. Truly Jesus Will Come to be
revealed through His Church before He comes to take His Church home. So we continue to pray - come Lord Jesus,
come as we want and need Him to come and reveal Himself, His power and His glory through His Church
Nita Johnson
Those who think we will raptured at the turn of the century please put your seat belts on. We are going to be around for
the ride here on earth for many years beyond that but not without the grace to overcome!.

Do Not Fear Nor Be Dismayed

Bob Jones and Keith Davis
On Aug. 7, 1998 Bob, others and myself were traveling to Mobile, Alabama for a meeting that
evening. At 10 minutes before 11 a.m. the spirit of prophecy came upon Bob in a powerful way.
Initially, he began to prophesy words of exhortation concerning individuals, some of which have
already been fulfilled. He then began to recite "be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be
dismayed for I am with you wherever you go". Immediately I recognized that he was quoting Joshua
1:9. I then recalled that I had in my Bible a copy of a commission from this same passage given to a
powerfully anointed prophet of the prior generation. As we began reading the commission we noticed
that the Lord gave this commission by divine visitation on August 7, 1957 at 11 a.m. At approximately
the same hour on the same date a commission was given out of Joshua 1:9.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be
dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (NKJ)
The commission in 1957 immediately preceded a seven-year release of the Spirit of Revelation. This
commission also marks a transition in the Spirit very similar to the change of leadership from Moses
to Joshua. Even though Joshua was anointed with the spirit of Moses, he had a different ministry. A
generation of mighty warriors shall soon emerge, men and women of great valor and spiritual authority
like unto that of Joshua. The Lord is also going to cover us with the "shadow of His Hand", a cloud of
illumination, to bring insight with understanding concerning the scriptures, especially the book of
Revelation.
Only the Lord could have orchestrated the release of this commission on exactly the same date as it
was given in 1957. We share these details in hopes that it will help communicate the power with which
this commission came and the importance of it in the season ahead.
Subsequent to this prophecy another vision was given to Bob that emphasizes the importance of
Joshua 1:9. In this vision Bob observed a small evil spirit whose mannerisms were similar to that of a
child. In an inconsiderate manner this spirit frolicked across Bob's toes. When Bob chastised the evil
spirit he saw that its name was "Anxiety". Anxiety then declared that he was going to get his father to
deal with Bob.
As this smaller spirit returned Bob saw that his gigantic father came with him. This spirit was
seemingly 50 feet tall and was named "Panic". Panic had just returned from killing 1,000 people that
day and threatened to do the same to Bob if he chastised "anxiety" again. Bob knew that if the Lord
did not intervene, panic was capable of making good on his promise. Panic then retrieved his cousin
named "Thief" and together they intended to destroy Bob and steal his goods.
When fear and panic seemed that they were going to overwhelm him, Bob heard the Holy Spirit say
"why don't you call the law on these thieves". Bob then went to the telephone and instead of dialing 9-
1-1, he dialed 1-0-1-9--- Luke 10:19.
"Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you. (NAS)
Not only did the law shackle anxiety, panic, and the thief; the law also required a seven-fold return of all
that had been stolen.
Anxiety and panic have gripped the world and many in the church. One of the signs of the last days is
that men’s hearts will fail them for fear. These evil spirits rob the people of God of their peace and joy
and impart fear, the greatest enemy of our faith. The Lord is commanding us to be strong and of good
courage for He is imparting the reality of Luke 10:19. Because of the great victory of the cross we
need not fear nor be dismayed for the Lord has delegated to us His authority over all the power of the
enemy.
The Lord is going to anoint His people with courage and valor to demonstrate to the world His
dominion over fear and panic and all the power of the evil one. A courageous generation with resolute
determination and anointing shall arise to uproot the enemies of the Faith that have kept us from the
Promises of God. Once the Church takes it rightful position in the "promised land" the Glory of God
will shine upon her as a testimony to the whole Earth of God’s salvation and deliverance.
God be gracious to us and bless us, {and} cause His face to shine upon us-- Selah. That Thy
way may be known on the earth, Thy salvation among all nations. God blesses us, that all
the ends of the earth may fear Him. (NAS) Psalms 67:1-2,7

Dams And Tornadoes

Helen Shadbolt,
West Wickham, Kent:|
Email: C/O Trevor@grm-uk.org
23/1/1998
We had an electrician (not a Christian) adding new light circuits in our house, one of the fuses in the main fuse box up to
that time only had the front door bell wired to it while another had the lighting for the whole house, so he decided to split
the load more evenly. When the power was switched back on, the fuse wire burnt out. He explained that it was old fuse
wire and the sudden surge of extra power was too much for it. He put in new fuse wire but this time when the main power
was switched back on there was no power getting through to any of the circuits. He checked every fuse and all was
okay. After double-checking everything he found that power was reaching the main switch but the circuit was not being
completed. He then realised that a piece of grit had fallen into the switch mechanism and blew very strongly. He then
switched it on and all the power came on.
I didn't think any thing about this at the time but that night I woke up and the Lord showed me that the whole event had
been prophetic and gave me the interpretation:-
The extra power that burnt out the old fuse wire was saying that when the Lord pours out His power through the Church in
revival we will need new wine skins for the new wine. We must be prepared for some old structures to go and new ones
take their place otherwise there will be a burnout.
The piece of grit blocking the power coming through is the same as the picture of the dam I had in June 1997 (see ERN
20.11.97) - I still do not know what the dam or the grit represents but whatever it is, it is preventing God's power flowing
through the Church, (however with the picture of the dam there was a sluice gate letting controlled amounts through). I
realised that no matter how much power could be sent from the electricity company that piece of grit would still prevent
the power from flowing. So no matter how much we cry to the Lord for more power, if there is a blockage we will not
receive it.
When he blew away the piece of grit it was the same as a picture I had last year (16.2.97) of a tornado suddenly coming
down and blowing away everything that is not of Christ, and also of a prophecy about the Holy Spirit coming like a mighty
wind that I received on 5.11.96. Both of these I reproduce below. This prophetic action then is saying that the dam will be
blown away by the tornado i.e. there is coming a powerful move of the Holy Spirit that will remove every obstacle to the
kingdom of God coming with power.
Having had the picture of the tornado last year, I was excited in my spirit when I saw on the news the recent tornado at
Selsey. In the newspapers there was an aerial picture of a row of garages which had had their roofs blown off and many
of them were filled with junk rather than cars. I felt the Lord was saying that the tornado of His Spirit will likewise reveal
the rubbish in peoples lives and expose hidden sins for all to see unless they come to Him in repentance beforehand.
This particularly applies to those in leadership.
16/2/1997
Rachel (the pastor's wife) had a picture of the Holy Spirit hovering over Bromley. Yesterday I had a picture of a tornado
coming down and the tornado was sweeping through. God is reminding me again of that picture. In a tornado you need to
be anchored; if you're in a building, you need to be in a building with sure foundations and, if you're outside, you need to
be anchored to a rock. We need to be anchored to Jesus Christ. When the tornado comes, what's not of Him will be
blown away. He wants our foundations to be secure, our anchors to be deep. Get rid of the rubbish in your life, get
deeper and deeper, clinging on. Strap yourself to the rock of Jesus Christ.
5/11/1996
The Spirit came on me on Tuesday night; I woke up with a manifestation that I often have of abdominal muscles
contracting and I bend double. I then had this word that I immediately wrote down.
Up to now my Spirit has been outpoured like the rain falling on the desert, soaking the ground, bringing life,
and I have been tending the garden, fertilising and weeding it to bring much fruit. This has been a time of
preparation.
I am now sending my Spirit like a mighty wind. Without this time of preparation the wind coming with such
power on the desert would have brought sandstorms and devastation, but over a fertile land the roots of the
plants are well established and the wind can blow over them and they can move with the wind.
Firstly, the mighty wind is coming to bring deeper refining - anything not built on the rock of Jesus Christ, in
your life and in your Churches will be blown away. Do not be worried about this - because of my preparation
you have a good harvest of fruit. The wind will blow away the chaff from the wheat but there is plenty of
wheat.
Secondly, just as man has learned to use the power of the wind so you will learn to use the power of my
Spirit. Up to now it is as if you have been on a treadmill and it has been hard work, but a treadmill has the
important function of turning the grindstone to produce flour which in turn makes bread that brings life. So all
that you have been doing has been important in my Kingdom purposes and you have been faithful in this.
Now is the time that you can get off the treadmill for I am giving you an anointing to use the power of my
Spirit. Now it is going to be as if you are a windmill and as you allow My wind to turn the sails of the windmill
I will turn the grindstone that will produce the flour that will make bread that will bring life.
There will be an anointing on you to use the power of My Spirit to bring life to the starving emaciated people
around you, hungry for the Word of God and the abundant life only He can bring.

DOCTRINES OF DEMONS
by Judy Curmi
Judy, soon time will be no more*. Things will not continue much longer as they are. I have said that in the End Times
I would give people over to their perversions.** I have done that. I said people would follow doctrines of
demons***. The teenagers and young adults are doing that now. They are listening to demonic "music". They are
wearing rings in their noses, wearing T-shirts and other clothes with skulls and demons printed on them, demonic
tattoos and armbands with snakes. The rings pierced into various body parts signify the master who controls and
leads them around. This master is Satan. The demonic is also rampant in older people in the worship of money, sex
and the New Age and occult.
Satan is positioning himself with his hoards for the takeover. He has become very bold and will become even bolder.
People are walking right into his trap by the millions, totally oblivious. Some are even dancing as they enter the trap!
The "bright side of evil" is a glittering and highly seductive mirage. It is like the fragrance of perfume in a closed
room. People are attracted to the smell, but the room itself has not been changed one iota by spraying or sprinkling
in some drops of perfume. If the room is dark and filthy it remains dark and filthy, regardless of the tantalizing smell.
The dark side will continue to show itself with increasing boldness each and every day that goes by. The stage has
been set for great darkness, yet my children continue on as though nothing has happened.**** All this my prophets
prophesied long ago. Every single prophecy will come true. Look to see how many have been fulfilled or are in the
process of fulfillment right now.
I leave nothing to chance. EVERY SINGLE PROPHECY WILL COME TRUE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION AND
WITHOUT FAIL. People have made for themselves a bed of nails to lie on. The cover just hasn’t been taken off
the bed yet to reveal it’s true nature.
Fear not, little flock. Stay close to me and let me lead you through this. I MUST HAVE A BRIDE FOR MY SON
WHO REALIZES HOW USELESS THE WORLD IS AND WANTS ONLY HIM AND HIM ALONE. Every
single bond with the world must be broken. All cravings and appetites of the flesh must be brought into submission.
The Glorious Gospel (Good News) must be put first. I MUST HAVE A BRIDE FOR MY SON WHO LOVES,
ADORES AND WORSHIPS HIM ALONE, NOT THE WORLD.
The world is shortly going to spin into great darkness. Those who follow my Son will shine forth with a great light.
The dichotomy***** will be amazing.
Hang onto my Son and hang on to me. Let my Spirit lead, guide and direct you. My Presence will accompany you.
Get very close to me so you can recognize my Presence and know when I am speaking to you. Then you will be
comforted. You will be guided. You will know who is your King and you will bow the knee to him alone.
The tragedy is about to start. Those who worship demons set the stage to usher in the chief demon himself, the great
and vicious fallen angel.
Get very, very close to me. Don’t delay any longer. The time is soon when time will be no more.
Love, Daddy
* Rev. 10:5-7: And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and on the land raised his right
hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things
which are therein, and the sea and the things which are therein, that there should be no more
reckoning of time.
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of
God will be fulfilled, as he proclaimed to his servants, the prophets.
**Romans 1:21-32: For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave
thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although
they claimed to be wise they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurities for the
degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and
worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator-who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural
relations for unnatural ones. In the same way men also abandoned natural relations with women
and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and
received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.(NIV)
*** 1 Timothy 4:1: Now the Spirit says expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, following after misleading spirits and doctrines of devils.

For as the people before the flood were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day Noah entered into the arc, and they knew nothing until the flood came and carried
them all away; such will be the coming of the Son of man.

Do Not Fear The Times That You Live In.

Steve Lincoln
Do not be afraid of what you see going on around you in the world, but be steadfast in your walk with Me.
You are living in the end of the age, when all things will be brought to fruition, and those things that have seemed to tarry
will be accomplished in the earth.
It is this time that I have called each one of you into.
Each one of you has a special place in the work that I am doing in the earth at this time, only trust Me and do not fear,
for fear and apathy are the weapons that the devil is seeking to use against the church at this time.
As you step out in faith in My Name, lifting up the banner of My love to those around you, I will work mighty signs and
wonders through you.
The world is crying out for a demonstration of My power, and yet to a large degree it does not see it, because very often
My people will not allow Me to move in the ways that I want to.
I say to you, whether you have walked with Me for a long time or a short time, and whatever position I have placed you in
within My Kingdom, that it is time to let go of your fears. It is time to lay down your own agendas and your own ideas.
I am doing a new work in the earth at this time, and only those ideas that come direct from My mind will bring the fruit
that you desire.
So My people, allow me to renew your minds, and open your eyes to new possibilities in Me. Those thoughts that you
have had that you thought were too outrageous or foolish - trust Me, seek My face, and I will again show you those
things that I would have you to do, in increasing clarity and I will give you the wisdom to carry them through.
The time has come to put aside your differences, and to join together in seeking My face and My will for your individual
lives, your churches, your cities and your nations. You will find that the heavens will be open to you like never before,
because the rain is beginning to fall like never before, and the dry and thirsty ground is being revived."

Who Do You Say That I am? said Jesus..

by Jim Wies
As we were challenged through these prophetic words that came forth in the assembly last week, I began to consider the
Scripture in Romans 10:9
"... if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the
dead, you will be saved."
Simply put, He wants us to acknowledge that He is "The Lord Jesus". I am convinced many people don’t understand the
significance of the statement that Jesus is Lord.
At His ascension Jesus said,
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me" (Matt. 28:18)
The implications of that are staggering. His supreme rule extends over all. He rules over space. He rules over time and
eternity. He rules over nature. And, although there are pockets of rebellion currently remaining in the hearts of men, His
rule shall eventually and inevitably extend to every individual, for scripture states in Phil. 2:10,11
"at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, ..., and that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
The Lordship of Jesus Christ is apparently one of the most neglected or least understood aspects of Jesus. As incredible
as that statement sounds, we must conclude this to be true, as evidenced by the general lack of response to it in the
lives of those who lay claim to Him as their Savior. The lack of understanding of His Lordship is clearly evident in the lives
of many who claim to be Christians.
For example, in the religious "Bible belt" region of the country (USA) in which I live, polls state that a phenomenal 83% of
the population believe in a literal physical return of Jesus to the earth. Yet the most casual observer can easily conclude
there is a vast difference between a right knowledge about Jesus and a faith in Him that produces changed lives.
At the same time, Scripture points to the fact that a belief about Jesus as Savior is not the same as a surrender to Jesus
as Lord. In fact, one of the gravest problems within western Christianity has become an "easy believism" that is void of
repentance and Lordship. That is, "faith" without repentance; "salvation" without sanctification; mental assent without life
changing surrender. He is not a Savior whom we have the option of establishing as Lord of our lives; rather He must be
acknowledged as Lord, then He will save us.
In our zeal to be theologically "proper" regarding the grand theme of grace, modern Christianity has often been guilty of
presenting a gospel of faith without Lordship, a cheap "grace" that's not really grace but licentiousness (which means
absence of restraint, indecency, wantonness) - note Jude 1:4;
"For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this
condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master
and Lord, Jesus Christ."
It is justification of sin without repentance on the part of the sinner. It is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring
repentance. It is Church membership without Church discipline; communion without confession, faith without action. It is
wanting Jesus as Savior but not as Lord - wanting Him to save us but not to rule over our lives. Costly "grace" recognizes
the call to discipleship that Jesus expects in light of our redemption. Christ gave all for us and expects nothing less in
return. Our relationship with Him is the "treasure in a field" for which a man sells all he has to purchase; or the costly
pearl a man gives all to acquire. It is the call of Jesus for which a disciple leaves his nets, forsakes all and follows. Such
gospel demands total surrender. It says "If you receive me as Lord, I will save you". It is costly because it costs us our
life, but is redemption because in exchange we gain that which is true life, that which is eternal.
Part of the problem, is the lack of understanding of exactly what it means to acknowledge Jesus as Lord. In the Old
Testament the term "Lord" referred to a word from the root word meaning to rule; sovereign, controller, master, owner.
Throughout the old Testament there is the clear declaration that there is only one Lord and God. He is the Lord of
heaven. He is the Lord who ruled over the flood. He rules sovereignly over all his creation, including the expanse of the
galaxies; the entire realm of the heavenly hosts; the domain of fallen angels who's fate is already sealed; the domain of
the earth, encompassing the ecosystems of the earth; plants and animals.
But we also discover that God as Lord has two aspects: first, Lordship over all creation and universe; however this did not
include the domain of the heart of man. That domain had been betrayed to the enemy through the fall of man. We were
enslaved to sin, we could not choose.
While He rules sovereignly over all his creation, this one domain had, for a time, eluded his Lordship, and that, itself only
by sovereign permission. That domain was the heart and volition of man, and thus the "world system" created by man
which man had in turn, betrayed to the evil one.
Then came Jesus! we find Jesus introduced as Lord and referred to as Lord close to 3,000 times in the New Testament.
Jesus demonstrated his Lordship - His rulership over creation - by turning water to wine; through bread and fish
multiplied; even over the elements, He commanded the wind and waves; he exerted authority over demons and the
domain of darkness, sickness and disease, etc.
He was the Lord God, who now had interposed his presence into the human condition in the form of Jesus, the Son of
God. The Scripture indicates that Jesus came to intervene, and through His coming, bought back that one last, lost
domain, thus being established as Lord of all, once and for all.
This final dimension of His lordship is clearly stated in Acts 2:36
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified,
both Lord and Christ."
and... Phil 2:5-11
"...Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be
grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is
above every name...," the Name of Jesus Christ the Lord.
This final establishment of Jesus as Lord by the Father - even over the hearts of every man, - gives the conclusion of the
matter. He is Lord of all. We are all destined to acknowledge it by the confession of our tongue and the bending of our
knee. Acknowledging Him as Lord implies: 1. Putting faith in His saving power while giving him right to rule over your life.
2. A salvation message that includes BOTH - repentance AND faith. The fact is, everyone WILL acknowledge Him as
Lord. The choice each one has is to do so willingly now (for which there is great benefit) or under duress later (in which
case there will be great remorse). Never-the-less, He is Lord!

Do You Hear
Marsha Burns
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it
goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
WORDS FROM THE LORD TO MARSHA BURNS:
August 7, 1998: Do you hear the voices of the prophets? Do you heed the warnings of the watchmen? I have chosen
them and set them in places to sound the alarm to prepare you for battle, that you might overcome the darkness that
assails you. Do not allow the darkness to overtake you.
Romans 13:12-14, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of
darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and
drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."
August 6, 1998: Behold, I call you, My people to cut off the enemy of your souls as you would cut the head off a serpent.
The enemy seeks to distract and cut you off from the life that sustains you. You must do this by casting down vain
imaginations that would lead you to destruction. I am calling you to be more focused, for I am calling you higher. You are
still too concerned about your own well-being and your own circumstances.
Change! I say, there will be changes that must take place in your lives so that My purposes will be fulfilled. Haven't I said
that you have a hope and a future? And yet, you flounder because of the futility in your own minds. And, I also say to you
that some of you sense and feel change and new direction much the same as you sniff the air for a change in seasons.
You know it is coming and you are eager to do your part, and I say, even more than your part for you are in danger of
stepping out ahead of Me and not waiting for My timing and My leading. I tell you to beware of making your plans an idol,
for this too is a distraction.
Have you put your hand to the plow? Have you made yourselves available as laborers in the harvest? Then, I say don't
look back either. For if you look back, you may be tempted to go back. So, refrain from looking ahead or behind, keep
your gaze fixed on Me, for I will surely lead and guide and direct every step to fulfill My plans and purposes in the earth,
and you are a vital part of My plan. Release yourselves in obedience to Me.
"Then the Lord said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem,
saying, Hear the words of the covenant and do them. For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day that I
brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, Obey My voice."
(Jeremiah 11:6-7)
August 5, 1998: Look back, think, and realize that what I have spoken to you is coming to pass. I have indeed set a
standard among you and am requiring that what you build be according to My word and be straight according to the
plumbline. Haven't I said that I would move you to places of greater effectiveness in My kingdom and bring you higher?
Look, and be amazed at what I have already done. Look again, and be in awe of what I am about to do, for I say that
what you realize at this moment by looking back is only a small sample of what is ahead. But, I say, don't get distracted
by the work I have performed or what you think you know is coming. Rather, rejoice that My word is true and that I am
doing a great and mighty work among My people. Then, continue to seek My face.
August 4, 1998: Have I not already told you that the cloud was lifting and going to move and that I was bringing you
higher? I have done as I said I would do! Look back. Haven't I wrought changes in your lives in these past months? Now, I
will establish you here in this new (spiritual) place. I have repositioned you and brought you by way of transition onto
higher ground. Look and see. The view is more spectacular and the atmosphere is less polluted. This new height will
bring greater vision and clearer perceptions. Be sensitive to My Spirit!
August 3, 1998: Be strong. Stand firm. I desire that you be people of integrity, walking in honesty, abiding in the light.
Let there be no darkness among you and in you. I am turning the light on hidden things in your hearts -- secret motives,
dark places of jealousy and pride. As I illuminate those places, quickly release them to Me. Do not harbor these things in
your hearts. Let me cleanse you and create in you a clean heart.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way
in me, and lead in the way everlasting." (Psalm 139:23-24)

Eagles
by Jeff Davis
To: Dave Bodine
Dear Dave,
Don't do this much but the prophetic seems to be increasing in the Church here. Well anyway, ...here is the
Eagle story.
It wasn't a dream but an actual incidence. As I told you yesterday I was up on Paterson Mountain. I really felt the
Lord leading me up there. When I had just begun up the North ridge I came across an immature Bald Eagle. It was
large but did not yet have the white head. I knew immediately that God was speaking to me through this and so I
began to speculate, as usual. What was alarming was that I was about 35 ft. from this bird as he sat on a rock. I
knew he should have flown but he just sat there. When I came a little closer he hopped off the rock flapping the left
wing and rolled over a few times on the ground and then got up on his feet and hopped about 15 ft. further. I then
noticed that his right wing was either broken or dislocated. I think that it was pulled from the shoulder socket as
there was a hollow spot there where the shoulder should have been.
All of a sudden I knew what the Lord was trying to say. (Incidently a little later I saw another eagle soaring around
the mountain effortlessly.) This bird was indeed an eagle, created and designed to sore in the heights effortlessly
and this is God's purpose for the Church. It was designed and created to sore on the heights with God effortlessly.
Instead the Church hops around on the ground flopping about with great difficulty. A wildlife agent here told me that
an eagle with a broken wing can usually get around enough to travel and find food but will often fall prey to the
coyotes and other predators. It was a picture of the Church, Having to fight and struggle for every little bit of growth.
And like the eagle the Church falls prey to the devil and his schemes.
An eagles best defense is to soar out of reach of the predators.
Now for the point. The left (good) wing is for the Church the Word of God. We have spent years learning and
strengthening the Word of God in the Church and its ministry. But we cannot fly on the Word of God alone. The
right (dislocated) wing is the Holy Spirit. The Church has become dislocated from the Holy Spirit. With both wings
intact the Church can and will sore effortlessly on the heights with God. The phenomenal growth we see in the
Early Church came almost effortlessly. The sermon Peter preached on the day of Pentecost was off the cuff, not
prepared and to me seems not even really all that convincing. But 4,000 people were saved. Why, because the
Church was soaring on the heights on both the Word of God (had been taught by Jesus for 3 years) and the Holy
Spirit fully intact.
When the Church allows the Holy Spirit to be fully joined again to the Church in life and ministry then again the
Eagle Will Fly on the heights as she was created to do.
In Christ,
Jeff Davis.

Many Prophets That Appear To Be Dead---Can Be Raised!

Go After The Lost Sheep
One morning around the middle of May, 1998, I found myself in that place between sleep and full awakening. A dream
from the night was very clear in my mind.
I was not walking, I simply stood in one place. As I watched, the Lord began to present a number of different locations
before my eyes. I saw high sand dunes, scrub lands, forests, jungles, swamps and mountains. I saw native villages,
small towns and large cities. The one thing each place had in common were eagles scattered about in various stages of
illness - some even appearing to be dead - lying on their backs with their wings spread as though they had crashed to
the earth. As I wondered over this amazing sight, the Lord began to speak
"These are My eagles," He said, 'My Prophets, some hidden for years. The enemy has mounted an all-out offensive
against them. Knowing his time is short, Satan has sent a spirit of insanity against My Prophets, to destroy their minds.
Confusion, discouragement, despair, suicide and all manner of mental imbalances are being throw into this battle." I felt
sick. The carnage was massive. But the Lord spoke again. "Take heart, they are not all dead, nor will they all die. Even
of those that appear dead, many can be raised. There is healing and restoration in Me. This is part of your call, to heal
My prophets and set them free from these spirits."
As I wondered over this, and my part in it, the Lord spoke again.
"There is a mysterious disease in the natural world, attacking the Bald Eagle," He said. "This disease is a sign of the
attack in the spirit. The only other bird affected by this disease is the coot. The coots are those who have turned their gift
over to the service of the enemy. The enemy has no love for them either and they are also falling victim to these spirits.
Some are really eagles. Find and free them as well."
There is such a disease, and it is baffling wildlife biologists. It effects the nervous system, eventually causing the afflicted
bird to lose all control and die. To refer to His prophets as eagles is not new [See 'The Final Quest by Rick Joyner, for
one example.] The coot was a new analogy, however. The coot, or mud hen, is a duck-like bird that I am quite familiar
with from my childhood. They are bottom feeders and they are 'defiled' by their diet - Their flesh is unappetizing because
of a muddy, gamey flavor. In the same way those involved in 'Spiritism' and 'new age' are defiled in their spirits.
Nevertheless, the Lord showed me a year or so ago that there are people operating in the realm of psychics, mediums,
channelers and the like, that are truly gifted by Him. Some of these are going to be freed from their deception and come
into the service of the Lord as a result of this spiritual 'plague.'
The Lord has given me further understanding that touches upon this matter. In Matthew chapter eighteen, Jesus talks
about the shepherd leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one that strayed. The Lord pointed out to me that this 'lost'
sheep was HIS, not a stray that 'belonged' in the domain of the enemy. This entire discourse speaks of 'these little ones'
- and in verse six He refers to them as 'little ones who believe in Me.'. These 'sheep' are SAVED, but straying from the
truth. It is time for the people of God to seek out those strays, backsliders and desperate ones who are angry at the
'church' or 'Christians,' bitter over hurts and misunderstandings or bound by shame and condemnation, believing that God
cannot accept them back. We MUST reclaim these lost 'little ones.'
Those that He mentioned, the - 'coots' that are really 'eagles' - will be drawn back to Him by two things. First, the torment
of the 'plague' and, second, the display of the true prophetic gift. Nothing in the 'psychic' arena can match the power of
God! This is not just my call [no one person could accomplish this alone!] but the call to the entire church. Be aware!
Your attitudes toward those 'outside' count. Many are feeling the pull of the Spirit. Don't offend them needlessly, for that
will incur the displeasure of God Himself. Take this to prayer and ask for His guidance. The time has come to act.
In Jesus,
Jude 24-25

The Economy
Bonnie Daughenbaugh
The Economic indicators have shifted as of late, but I would like to tell you what the Lord spoke to me is going to
happen.
There is going to all sorts of strong allurement aimed at the consumer enticing him to buy on credit. Further, the goal is
to narrow down the credit cards to one major card by which you can buy everything and pay all bills, such as phone,
electricity, etc.
People will continue to grow deeper in debt, until they are right where the enemy wants them-then slam! The market will
crash and the economy will fall. This is the enemies plan to force nations and people into the one world monetary
system.
Admonition: While interest rates on credit car,-is may appear to be on the descent, I want to warn you that often the loss
of funds on lower interest rates are made up on various hidden charges. So look at the fine print. Further all Americans
need to get out of debt. How much more the church. Get churches and families out of debt as quickly as possible
.Though the warnings have been long in coming this collapse is going to occur.

Egypt: Decentralization Reaches More

Friday Fax 1998 Issue 21, 5 June
In Friday Fax 1998 Issue 11, we reported about the evangelistic events held with Luis Palau at the start of 1998. We have
since received a further report, which speaks of an average of around 110,000 'participants' in the meetings each evening.
Videotapes of the evangelistic addresses were distributed to over 600 churches throughout the country by courier.
Through this decentralized strategy, more people were able to take part than if the event had taken place in the Cairo
football stadium, with a capacity of 100,000. Various reports speak of a total of 30,600 people who showed interest in
becoming Christians during the first 4 evenings of the event.
One problem which the village churches encountered was that they could organize a video recorder, but they needed
several televisions to enable everyone to see well enough. Necessity is the mother of invention, so several Christians
brought weak TV transmitters, via which the video could be shown on all televisions at once. By accident, they
discovered that the transmissions could also be received in houses near the churches, to which people were sent when
the churches were full. Some churches still transmit the programs each evening for the local Christians.
Since then, the same decentralized system has been used for evangelism training with Billy Graham's school of
evangelization, reaching 1,300 leaders in 500 churches throughout the country. Source: name and address withheld

Egypt's Churches Overflow!
Hundreds of thousands overflow Egypt's churches

CAIRO, Egypt --
With a bold vision to reach all of Egypt with the Gospel, Kasr el-Dobara Evangelical Church in Cairo multiplied four Luis
Palau evangelistic messages by 574. The result: Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians heard that Jesus Christ died on
the cross for their sins, conquered death and offers eternal life to all who receive Him by faith.
Invited to Cairo for his first Middle East campaign, international evangelist Luis Palau preached to 4,000 people who
crammed into Kasr el-Dobara's sanctuary, courtyards and classrooms each of the four nights, March 12-15. Hundreds of
other people had to be turned away, according to a report by Kevin Palau, Luis' son.
Immediately after each rally, a videotape of the service was edited, copied and distributed by volunteer couriers for
showings in 574 churches the next day. (On the first night of the campaign, these churches showed a video of Palau
preaching in Hong Kong that had been dubbed into Arabic.) Associate Pastor Sameh Tewfik, who served as chairman of
the campaign, said he estimates 150,000 people viewed the videos each night, an average of more than 250 people per
church.
Initial reports from several cities, including Aswân, Asyût, El Mahalla, El Minya and Tanta, confirmed that Protestant,
Coptic Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches, some that seat 400 to 500 people, were full. Some churches held two
services each evening. Others turned scores away.
Kasr el-Dobara, the largest Protestant church in the Middle East, used LPEA's training materials to train more than
4,000 people to counsel decision-makers. Each night at Kasr el-Dobara, several hundred people indicated a commitment
to Jesus Christ. A similar percentage at the 574 satellite campaigns by videotape would mean many thousands of people
across Egypt committed their lives to Christ. A church in Aswân with only 50 members reported that more than 100
people made public statements of commitment to Christ.
Sameh Tewfik said he estimates that the total number of commitments will surpass 25,000.
"We never dreamed that God would bless in such an incredible way," Sameh said. "Originally we hoped for 300
churches, then 400. To have 574 -- we've never had such unity. Many of these churches have not seen people come to
Christ for years."
"I've seldom seen such an overwhelming hunger to hear the Good News," Palau said. "God is preparing this strategic part
of the world to welcome the Gospel in this generation."
A 14-year-old Jewish boy, who had just begun to attend the youth group at Maadi Community Church, wanted to bring
his father to the meeting, but he refused. After the service started, however, the man came on his own, heard the Gospel
and talked to Pastor David Petresque. He said that 33 years ago to the day, March 13, was his bar mitzvah and he was
feeling far from God. After Petresque explained what it meant to become a Christian, the man prayed with him and
received Christ. Minutes later his son also committed his life to Christ.

Good News From Egypt

Ramez Atallah
The Bible Society in Egypt was privileged to have three stands at the Cairo International Bookfair which took place on 15
February. Despite various illnesses suffered by the Bible Society's staff during the course of the fair, Scripture sales were
exceptionally high.
Ramez Atallah, General Secretary of the Bible Society in Egypt, has sent the following report:
All Christian stands at the Bookfair reported very good sales. In our case, we sold nearly twice as much as last year. We
are overwhelmed by this unexpected response to God's Word, and praise Him for his faithfulness.
BEAUTY OF THE WORD
The fair was hard work, but there were also some amusing incidents. The owner of the store next to ours could not
understand why such crowds came to the Bible Society booth even though he had hired the most attractive young
salesgirls and we had no female sales persons - nor are our salesmen especially attractive! Quite often his good-looking
girls would come and ask our salesmen to give them hints on how to sell! In fact, the manager was so delighted by all
the business that came his way because of our popular stall that he said he would make sure he got a stall adjoining
ours next year!
On another occasion the Bible Society staff were startled when a Bookfair security officer yelled at them to stop selling
as the people gathered around the Bible Society stall were causing a traffic jam. Our staff obeyed, but the people were
extremely disappointed when they were told that sales would be interrupted until the congestion cleared.
MOVING CASH REGISTERS
One of our bookstands was so large that people could not get to the cash register with their money as the crowds were
much too thick. Our manager had the ingenious idea of posting several staff, each with change in their hand, so they
could sell from four different areas of the stall, acting as moving cash registers.
Everyone from our staff became a salesperson during the fair. Our janitors, secretaries, managers, volunteers and friends
all worked together towards the one goal of meeting the demands of the insistent crowds.
EXTENDED ADVERTISING
Several times a day on the internal PA system of the Bookfair there were announcements inviting people to come to the
Bible Society stands. It was surprising to have these announcements made publicly in a place where the distribution of
Christian material is a new phenomenon.
With three daily television advertisements on each of the eight Egyptian television channels and one or two adverts a day
in our major daily newspaper, the country was saturated with information about Bible Society products. Our downtown
bookshop sold as much during February as it had during all of the previous year!
GOD BLESS YOU, THANK YOU....
We sold thousands of audio Scriptures, and our salesmen could not understand why one man kept repeating, "Thank
you and God bless you." He explained, "I cannot believe that you went to so much trouble to produce dramatised Bible
stories in the colloquial dialect so that simple illiterate Egyptians could understand them. I don't know how to thank you."
Another lady telephoned our downtown bookshop after the Bookfair and said, "I want to thank you for allowing me to buy
a Bible from you. I had come fearful that you would not want to sell me one and was touched that you were so eager and
willing to sell me a Bible. It is the first time I've ever had a Bible!"
DISAPPOINTMENTS
The most moving sights took place at closing time at each of our three stands. Just imagine the scene with dozens of
people wanting to buy Scriptures and the lights flickering on and off warning that closing time had arrived. It was very
poignant to watch the disappointment on peoples' faces when they were told they could not buy any more Scriptures.

When The Elements Are Loosed

D. K. Jones

It was December 20, about 2:30 in the afternoon, that the Holy Spirit impressed me to write. He said,
The hard-hearted will not repent in reverential fear unless devastation and fear overtake their unbelief.
They reject the warnings and persecute the righteous and they love their own ways so much that the
truth offends them. But I the Lord, know what I am doing."
Then He impressed me to read Isaiah 30, focusing in on verses 12-18. Although I had a lot of versions
of Bibles in front of me, I read from the Living Bible. I believe whatever version anyone reads they will
be able to hear God's heart concerning how He feels about those who reject His warnings. So after I
finished reading, He had me read Psalm 33:822, which I also read in the Living Bible.
He said, "This is for those who have reverential fear for me." So I began to read it also, and it was very
profound and clear to me. Then about four or five days later, I was reading about the judgments of
God. I was just sitting on the porch in a cabin, in a small town called Crocket, Texas. I was looking out
on the lake, observing the water and trees and pondering all the things the Lord had been saying.
Suddenly, this beautiful water, and trees and homes, totally changed. The water was splashing
everywhere, the trees were upside down and houses were tore up. It looked like a tornado had come
through and destroyed everything. I kind of shook my head to see if I could shake it off, but I couldn't. I
said, Lord what is that?" He told me, "You are reading my Word about judgement. I've showed you
three things. whenever I'm rejected this is how I deal with those who reject Me. I deal with them in My
Word, by their enemies and with the elements."
What I had just seen was what was left when the elements had been loosed on America. It was so
devastating, it scared me. I was frightened because the devastation was more than I could
comprehend; and it was so sudden. The Lord said, "This is how it's going to happen - suddenly!"
So I began to say, "Lord is there another way? Lord if the world is so wicked, why don't you just take
these wicked people out of here and leave the saints here to clean the earth up. Then You could come
back and get your Bride."
Then the Lord said that He would not remove us out of here in that manner, because some of these
hard hearted people would come to the Lord when this catastrophe begins to take place. He had to
leave a remnant around to point the people to Him. He was raising up some saints who would not
compromise His Word under any condition. He would draw the people to come to these
uncompromising churches, wherever they would be around the world. He would do this to point these
people to the Lord-when this fear overtakes them.
So I said, "Lord, is there any other way that this could be done?" Suddenly it seemed like He reached
down with His hand and touched my heart for maybe 8-10 seconds. He was just holding my heart. He
wasn't squeezing it, just holding it. The pain was so excruciating , just Him touching it that way, my
heart was breaking. It just overwhelmed me. I said, "Lord!" Before I could say anything else, He said,
"This is what I feel about being rejected and about these unborn children that are being slaughtered."
Like I said, He held my heart for only about 8-10 seconds, but the hurt and the heart break was so
devastating, I began to pray. "Well, then come now Lord, come now!" Not that I wanted destruction to
come upon America, but I wanted Him to take His hand off my heart because I couldn't stand the
brokenness and the hurt I felt. The Lord was showing me this is what He feels. It was just
overwhelming. It was such a hurt and pain that I wanted the Lord to come and rid the sins so He
wouldn't hurt any more, because the little bit of His heart I felt was more than I could stand.

Elijah's Three Tasks

Bill Somers
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the LORD: Mal 4:5
The verse quoted above should be a very important part of our end time prophetic vision. The obvious
reason, pointed out by many, is that it gives a sign to look for, that must precede the Day of the Lord.
Many have written that they expect to see a movement or ministry that would function like Elijah did.
Men and women moving in the spirit and power or Elijah. Some are even expecting Elijah himself to
come in the flesh!
The second reason is that this verse links the ministry of Elijah with the End Times. I find that there is
something very special about the story of Elijah as related in the Books of the Kings.
King Solomon takes up 11 chapters of 1 Kings. Jereboam has chapters 12, 13 and half of 14.
Chapter 15 and 16 take us through a group of succeeding kings taking us up to Ahab.
Elijah comes along in chapter 17 and continues to the end of 1 Kings in chapter 22 and takes up
again in 2 Kings. Elijah's ministry is carried on by Elisha who finally dies at the end of chapter 13. That
makes 19 chapters in all. In these 19 chapters we find a great wealth of types and allegories of the
End Times.
Our opening quote from Malachi 4:5 is referred to in the Gospel of Mathew.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first
come?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all
things.
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done
unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. Mat 17:10-13
Note here that in verse 11 Jesus says Elias [Elijah] shall come, and in verse 12 He says Elias has
already come! And they understood that He meant that John the Baptist was Elijah! This is a multiple
fulfillment of Malachi 4:5. John the Baptist fulfilled it and it will be fulfilled again in the future.
This indicates that John the Baptist carried out the role or tasks of Elijah in Jesus time. And we can
expect this to occur again in our time. It also means that God is operating according to a certain
pattern in the way he works things out. This pattern was set forth in the ministry of Elijah. The pattern
was repeated in the ministry of John the Baptist and will be repeated again.
What this pattern is can be found by looking at the three tasks of Elijah.
The major points in Elijah's ministry are these:
1. He has a first confrontation with Ahab,

2. He is secluded for 3 and a half years,
3. He returns and holds a sacrifice on Mt. Carmel,
4. He flees from Jezebel to Mt. Horeb,
5. He returns from Mt. Horeb to carry out his three fold commission,
6. He meets with Ahab in Naboth's vineyard,
7. He is taken up into heaven.
Item 3 here is especially important. It gives us a great picture of confrontation with evil and triumphing
over it. It is also a foreshadow of end time revival and harvest. But we are going to take a look at item
5, the three fold commission of Elijah.
What exactly was it?
And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and
when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of
Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and
him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. 1 Kings 19:15-17
A Pattern is Set.
Elijah was told to go and anoint Hazael, Jehu and Elisha. Elisha was to be the new prophet coming
after Elijah. Jehu was to be the New King of Israel. And Hazael to be the new King of Syria. In these
cases the prophet acts as the spokesman and agent of God. He passes along to the person being
anointed, God's power and authority to carry out a particular office. That is he places a mantle or
commission from God on a particular person to do a particular job.
We know that Samuel anointed Saul and David. The Kings were sometimes anointed by prophets this
way. It is also common for prophets to anoint other prophets and pass along their gifts or mantles this
way. What is so curious here is Hazael! What is the point of having Elijah anoint the King of Syria, the
leader of Israel's enemies?
We find in 1 Kings 19 where Elijah recruits Elisha.
1 Kings 19:19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was
plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by
him, and cast his mantle upon him.
And later in 2 Kings 2, Elijah finally passes the mantle to Elisha.
2 Kings 2:
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I
shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a
double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am
taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a
chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a
whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent
them in two pieces.
13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by
the bank of Jordan;
In 2 Kings 9, Jehu is anointed. But not by Elijah, who has been taken up into heaven by then. And it's
not by Elisha either but by one of his servants.
2 Kings 9:
1 ¶ And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him,
Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of
Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an
inner chamber;
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have
anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
And we read in 2 Kings 8, how Elisha anoints Hazael.
2 King 8:
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was
told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of
God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of
Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son
Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10 And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit
the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God
wept.
12 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil
that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their
young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their
women with child.
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing?
And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
Notice here that Elisha did not actually pass a mantle or physically anoint Hazael. He did however
acknowledge him as the new King of Syria. And recognize that he would be carrying out judgment
against Israel.
In some ways this reminds me of Moses before Pharaoh in Exodus 12, when Pharaoh says
"Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me
also." Exodus 12: 32
So Elijah's three tasks were to raise up a new prophet, anoint a new king, and acknowledge or
authorize a new enemy to execute judgment. He did not personally complete all three, his successor
did some of it. Because he has left the scene before it is all completed.
The pattern repeated.
How does this compare with what John the Baptist did?
In Mark 1 we read:
Mark 1:
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was
baptized of John in Jordan.
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit
like a dove descending upon him:
Here John did not anoint, he baptized. The effect however is the same. Jesus was the new prophet
who succeeded John. For John said,
He must increase but I must decrease. John 3:30
Jesus is also the new King of Israel. John also leaves the scene before the third task is finished.
The new 'king of Syria' is Judas Iscariot, the man of perdition. And Jesus 'anoints' or authorizes him to
carry out judgment in the following passage.
John 13:
21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom
he spake.
25 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when
he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest,
do quickly.
Here the judgment is not against Israel the nation, but against Israel personified, namely Jesus
Himself. But all three elements of the commission are fulfilled. And the three characters are in parallel.
Elijah is to Elisha is to Hazael as John is to Jesus is to Judas. John baptized Jesus who was the new
prophet and the new king. Jesus gave Judas permission to betray him.
The Book Of Acts

In the Book of Acts we see the same pattern again, though not quite as clear. In this case the three
characters are Stephen, Paul and Caesar Nero.
Stephen's ministry has some parallels with John the Baptist's. He had a great impact in his time and
ended up being martyred.
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the
Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia,
disputing with Stephen. Acts 6:8-9
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at
a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
Acts 7: 58-59
His ministry was followed by that of Saul as he became Paul. So Paul was raised up and had a
ministry that was greater that Stephens, just as Elisha's was greater than Elijah's and Jesus' was
greater than John's. Paul was the new prophet, and he proclaimed Jesus and the new king in his
ministry to the gentiles. Since Jehu is a figure of Jesus in the second coming, each instance of this
pattern has Jesus as King.
As the Lord spoke of him in Acts 9:
… for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings,
and the children of Israel:
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Acts 9:15-16
Near the end of Paul's ministry we see how Paul ends up being sent to Caesar.
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the
temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the
Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but
if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto
them. I appeal unto Caesar.
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto
Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go. Acts 25:8, 10-12
Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not
appealed unto Caesar. Acts 26:32
So what happened here is that when Paul said : I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, it was the same
as when Jesus said to Judas That thou doest, do quickly . Paul was giving Caesar permission to
carry out judgment against him, just as Jesus gave Judas permission.
"Caesar' has the meaning of "severed". The Caesars referred to in the New Testament are.
1. Augustus Luke 2:1
2. Tiberius Luke 3:1 20:22
3. Claudius Acts 11:28
4. Nero Acts 25:8 Philippians 4:22
Nero was the Caesar that Paul went before and who had him martyred. The name Nero, interestingly
enough, is said to have a numeric of 666.
End Time Application..

I once heard an interesting discussion about ministries raising up other ministries. It was said that
since the reformation, all the great leaders who came along were not able to raise up successors who
went on to become greater than them. Luther, Calvin, Knox, Wesley, etc all represent peaks in the
progress of the church. These peaks were followed by declines. Likewise the great revivals are all
peaks in the growth of the church. Each revival was followed by a decline.
But the Word of God says
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the LORD: Mal 4:5
And we take that to mean that the end time church will be gifted with a ministry that will also carry out
the three tasks of Elijah. That today's church leaders will be privileged to raise up a new generation
who will far surpass them in accomplishments. They will be ministries who will do the greater works.
Likewise, the revival we have today, great as it is, will be far outshone by the final end time revival and
harvest that the Lord is going to give.
In this case the three tasks of Elijah are to raise up a greater ministry, Proclaim a new King, King
Jesus, and to lay their lives down in service to Jesus.
The three characters are today's church, the end time church [man-child] and the beast or anti-christ,
whose number is 666, and who is given power to overcome the saints. {See Satan's Final Challenge
by Bill Somers}
We can see that the pattern in the ministry of Elisha is a pattern for the end time church. The pattern
set by Jesus is a pattern for the end time church. The pattern followed by Paul is a pattern for the end
time church, [It shows Paul to be a type of the end time church, his conversion a type of revival.]
And so this pattern as it will work out gives us three stages. First is where we are now, preparing for
and anticipating a great revival and harvest.
Second will be the End Time Apostolic Church that will receive the final outpouring of the Spirit and
will do the Greater Works.
Third will be a church that is willing to present their bodies a living sacrifice, laying down their lives just
as Jesus and Paul did. And being able to say with Paul:
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his
appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

Our Nation Emptied

Paula Downs
July 16, 1991
Today while I was at work I received a series of mental images and words and impressions that I believe are from God
concerning things that are to come to our country before the end.
Pray that the hearts of the American people will return to the God that was known to their forefathers so that this
judgement of the Lord does not come upon us. Remember in revelation the message to the church in Laodicea? So it is
with us; we are proud of our wealth and do not realize that really we live in extreme poverty. the Lord said to me, "You are
an adulterous people who have gone far away from Me and so I will allow you to be infected with a disease called
APATHY". There is an analogy between what AIDS does to the body and what apathy does to a people. We will have no
resistance to confront the problems that come to destroy our nation.
Vision:
I saw our nation emptied of people. The roads and freeways were cracked and weeds grew up. Where have the people
gone? Many have gone to other countries, especially to Europe and the Middle East. This is in preparation for what will
happen there at the end of this time. Also, there is little left of our health care system and so many who could be saved
have died. Saddest of all is that very few babies are being born. There are wide spread fertility problems but also many
who could have children don't want to in such harsh times. This childlessness is a judgement for not loving the children
He has given us, for not protecting the children that have no one to keep them safe. This is also for mercy that no more
children would suffer.
The government in Washington will still exist but with very little power left to them. to other countries what is left of our
government will be considered a joke. Tax collectors will still be sent out into the country but people will hide from them.
When the tax collectors do find someone, if they are unable to pay, they will be taken into forced labor. Let us call it
what it is, it is slavery and few will survive it.
People living in the cities will be living in fear as under seige. Many will be hungry. The lucky ones have fled to the
country. any place that has fresh water and can grow food is a good place to live, especially in the deep wilderness
which provides a measure of safety.
But do not fear, the Lord will not withhold His hand from His people. His Spirit will be poured out as never before. How will
people be healed if we don't reach out with the Lord's healing? there will be great need and so there will be great miracles
and great ministry.
So PRAY that there will be repentance, so that the fullness of this judgement does not fall on us, but also pray to KNOW
the LORD MORE, to be guided in HIS paths, and to be EQUIPPED for whatever work He has prepared for you.

Bringing Every Thought Into Obedience To

Christ
Dwight Jester
(2 Cor 10:5 KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience
of Christ;
As I woke up this morning, The Holy Spirit began to speak to me about bringing every thought into
captivity into obedience to Jesus Christ.
I had been dreaming about a group of people who could not reach God because their thoughts were
all wrong. They had tried everything to figure out why they could not reach God and have him do for
them what they were trying to get done. It was not clear what they were trying to accomplish. However,
it was extremely clear that they were not reaching God.
Each of them had prayed fervently to the Lord to reveal what the problem was. They had discussed it
among themselves. They had sought outside advice. None of it had worked.
The Lord began to bring to me the above verse about bringing into captivity every thought to Jesus
Christ. I thought, " What does that have to do with what I am dreaming?" The Holy Spirit said,
"Everything!" He said, "If you do not bring every thought, including all your bad thoughts that you don't
want to bring, then I can not straighten them out and bring them into obedience to Jesus Christ. Your
effort to control your own thoughts or to try to figure which ones are good and which ones are bad is
god-playing and will not allow your thoughts to come into obedience to Jesus."
My first reaction was to recoil at the idea of bringing all of our bad thoughts to Jesus. After all we
should clean our thoughts up first, then bring them to Jesus. Wrong! We should bring all our thoughts
to the Holy Spirit, let Him clean them up, then He can bring them into obedience to Christ. Obviously, a
lot of our thoughts are not going to make it to Jesus, they will be removed before they get to Him.
Many of the thoughts that do not make it will be thoughts that we think are good and acceptable
thoughts. Some of the thoughts that we think are bad will be acceptable and good to the Holy Spirit. It
is not our place to decide. It is our place to give all our thoughts to the Holy Spirit and let Him deal with
them.
The Holy spirit anointed me to release all my thoughts to Him so He could clean them up. I began to
yield whatever thought I was thinking to Him. I could sense He was taking them and doing whatever He
needed to do with them right then. The Holy Spirit then told me to write this material down.
The idea of bringing every thought into captivity has the idea of bringing a gift to someone and giving
it to them with the idea that you are not going to come back and take the gift back. You have given the
gift and you leave it with the idea it is no longer yours and you have no intention of taking it back.
When you have made the choice to do this, then Jesus and the Holy Spirit begin to give back to you
the thoughts of the Father. You have made an exchange of all your evil, bad, faulty and erroneous
thoughts that you have operated out of all these years, and God gives you back the thoughts and the
mind that is in Jesus Christ.
Why can't we just do this? Why does it have to be such a problem? The rest of the verse answers it for
us.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God!
The idea behind the thoughts is that we bring them as a gift to the Holy Spirit. The idea behind the rest
of the verse is that we cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God. This is active on our part. It is something we do, and not something we yield. In the
name and power of Jesus Christ, we cast down every high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God, and cast down everything in our imagination that is not of God. How do we know
what exalts itself against the knowledge of God and what are the imaginations we need to cast down
before we can bring every thought into obedience to Jesus?
(1 John 2:22-23 KJV) Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that
denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he
that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
(1 John 4:3 KJV) And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of
God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now
already is it in the world.
From these verses, we see that the person who exalts himself against the knowledge of God is the
Antichrist. Over the years, The Holy Spirit has shown me that the Antichrist has three distinct
personalities - I am god, I am savior, and I am judge. Under the influence of the Antichrist, we,
Christians and non-Christians alike, spend most of our time either being our own god, (or a god over
others), our own savior (or savior for others), or our own judge and condemner (or judge and
condemner of others). Therefore we are greatly influenced and controlled by the Antichrist to do these
things against ourselves and others.
There is only one solution to this problem, - casting down the spirit of Antichrist. We are to cast down
every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Do we do this in our own power? No,
we do it in the name and power of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer:
Jesus, I surrender myself completely to You as my Lord, Master, and King, and in Your name and by
your authority I cast out the spirit of Antichrist from my human spirit. I choose for You to come into my
spirit as Lord and Master and drive out the spirit of Antichrist and all his helpers. Jesus, remain in my
spirit and never let the Antichrist come back again. I ask the Father to do this, in Your Name. I thank
you and praise you for doing this for me right now.
Casting down imaginations! .
The next thing we are to do is cast down imaginations. All imaginations are not evil and bad. Anything
revealed to us by the Holy Spirit that comes from the Father is not bad. It is good, and comes down
from the Father of Lights. True imaginations, or images come down from the Father and they are
revelations of truth about the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the angels of God, His kingdom in heaven
and His kingdom on earth. He gives us true images about who Satan is, who his angels are, who his
demons are, what his kingdom is and is not, and who his people are that he controls on earth. He
gives us images about ourselves, who we really are, how righteous, or evil we are, and what we need
to do to grow up into all things in Jesus. He gives us true images about other people who they are,
how they fit into Satan's kingdom, or how they fit into God's kingdom. This is the good side of
imaginations.
The bad side of imaginations is what Satan through Antichrist does to our imagination. He gives us
false imaginations of the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the angels of God, the Kingdom of God in
heaven and on earth. He gives us false imaginations of who he is, how much power he has, who his
angels are, his demons, and the false nature of the people whom he controls on the earth. He gives
you false imaginations about yourself, who you are, what you need to be doing, and what your goals
should be. He gives you false imaginations about other people, who they are and how they fit into
Satan's kingdom.
From this we see that we have two sets of imaginations. Obviously, God is talking about casting down
false imaginations, getting rid of them so that we can live in the true imaginations that come from the
Kingdom of God.
Prayer: Jesus, I surrender myself completely to You as my Lord, Master, and King, and in Your name
and by Your authority I cast down every false image from my imagination. I choose for You to come
into my imagination as Lord and Master and cast out ever false image I have about God, about You,
the Holy Spirit, the angels of God and the kingdom of God in heaven and on the earth. Cast out every
false image I have about Satan, his angels, his demons, his kingdom in the heavenlies and on the
earth, and the people he controls on the earth. Cast down every false image I have about myself in
every area of my life. Cast down every false image I have about people. I ask the Holy Spirit to come
and fill me with Your true images you want me to have about Your kingdom, Satan's kingdom, myself,
and other people. I choose to live out of the true imagination of God and not the false imagination of
Satan. I pray this in the name of Jesus, my Lord and Master.
Once you have prayed to cast out the spirit of Antichrist who exalts himself against the knowledge of
God, and to cast down all false imaginations that the Antichrist has filled your imagination with, then
you are in a position to pray to bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Understand, you will never bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ until you have
dealt with casting out the Antichrist and casting down every false imagination you have. Your thoughts
are controlled by the Antichrist and the false images he has given to you. Therefore, you will never be
able to give your thoughts to the Holy Spirit until you deal with these things first. Once you have, you
can pray this prayer.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, I bring every thought to You, the bad and what I think is good. I surrender them all to
You. Take them and separate the true thoughts from the false thoughts. Bring all my thoughts into
obedience to Jesus Christ until I know that the mind that is in me is the same mind that is in Jesus
Christ. I will think like the Father, feel like the Father, and choose like the Father at all times. I can not
do this in my own power, but only in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the power of Jesus my Lord,
Master and King.
Begin to praise and thank the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for what They have done for you. Let the
anointing flow.

In The Evening Time Of The Last Days

Brad Young
"In this period, in the Evening-Time of the Last Days, I will bring a fresh and complete revelation of each book in the
scriptures, All denominations will see new truth for I am uncovering it", says the Holy Spirit.
"Even from Genesis, I will teach you of harvest and order. In Exodus, I will teach you of the true law and power. In each
book, you pastors and teachers will discover what you have never seen - even with all your study, for I am revealing it.
"As each book offers up its secrets and hidden things, the speed of revelation will increase. You will hear of Genesis from
many, then Exodus for a shorter time, even though its revelation will be more powerful; by the time you reach the minor
prophets, the Body will get the same revelation at nearly the same time.
"For those who can see, this is a sign also - my coming is imminent. I am walking towards the door. He who has ears
can already hear my footsteps. I will not delay."

Evil Twins
by Bobby Conner
May 9, 1998
All Scripture References are KJV unless otherwise noted.
On May 9, 1998 I was given a very strong prophetic experience. I had been seeking the Lord
for an answer concerning the constant whirl of confusion and mistrust that is pervasive
among the leadership in the Body of Christ. There had to be an answer for the breakdown in
communications. The Lord permitted me to go into the second heaven, which is where the
devil makes his wicked schemes, and there I was able to observe evil twins. These come
from the bowels of Satan himself. These twins were not identical, but were extremely wicked.
Deceptive Disguise
I observed them in their dressing room, watching them as they made preparations for their
malicious mission. Putting on their deceptive disguise they dressed as telephone repairmen.
Each had a very winsome personality and had the appearance of being so very helpful. In
their disguise they appeared handsome, and even charming. No one could ever detect their
dark demonic plans and purposes in the natural - those can only be seen by the Spirit.
Malicious Mission
They were dispatched to every home and office of all those that are in leadership; their
mission is to place "bugs" in the telephone receivers. These "bugging devices" were planted
in the telephone receiver in order to distort what was being said and heard.
Contaminate Communications
I was given their names. The names of these two evil twins are, "Accusation" and
"Suspicion." Their mission is an attack against Christian leadership’s communication. Their
goal is to totally contaminate our communications in order to breakdown our unity and trust
of one another. They seek to hinder our exchange of information and expression of ideas by
clouding and confusing our words. One of the definitions of the word "accusation" deals
with charging someone with a crime by using our words. If we give ear to accusation, soon
we will receive the evil ministry of suspicion, which fosters mistrust. This evil suspicion
causes the suspicious person to always look for the very worst in others, whether they be one
person or a large group. Additionally, a person with suspicions seems to be blinded to the
good qualities of the other person(s).
Deception in Perception
These evil twins affect what is being said and heard. They cause deception in one’s
perception. These bugs infect the system of communication causing doubt, skepticism, and
apprehension which breeds mistrust and distrust, which brings about cynicism. Their goal is
to bring about the paralyzation of pessimism. They bring about slander and all types of false
allegations and contentious complaints. Our words are twisted and are used to promote a
lack of trust that paralyzes the people of God.
Skepticism Separates
Many in leadership, because of this strife and debate, are driven to solitude and detachment.
They detach and disconnect themselves from walking in real unity. When these two evil
spirits minister their deception, it brings about a spirit of self-pity and a feeling of being
alone. (This makes it seem that no other Christian can really be trusted.) The foe of our soul
strikes best when we are going through self-pity and a feeling of isolation. An example of this
would be John the Baptist when he had been placed into prison. The once bold prophetic
voice who stood proclaiming the Lamb of God sits in a lonely prison cell and the thief of his
soul comes to rob him of faith. The dark cloud of doubt moves over his heart and soon he is
questioning if anything he has done is truly of God. (Matthew 11:1-8) We can make terrible
mistakes while in this spirit of desperation and detachment. Look at Elijah after he withstood
the hundreds of prophets of Jezebel. He now flees and asks the Lord to take his life. He is
so misguided he thinks he is the only one left. (1 Kings 19)
Identification of the Bugging Devices
I was shown the names of some of these bugging devices. They are rivalry, which produces
a spirit of competition, slander, gossip, faultfinding, murmuring, smearing, using our words to
bring about insinuation and bitter backbiting. When this happens the very poison of malice is
in our mouth. The Lord said He would give the Church power to take the sword of the Spirit
and cut the throats of these two evil spirits. This would be accomplished by bringing every
hidden feeling into the light. This will require us to be open and transparent with each other.
We must be willing to confront each other concerning issues of the heart. We must guard our
words when doing this. Our words are to be used to build up the Body of Christ, not to tear
people down. Our words can be used by the Spirit of God to help or by Satan to hurt; to
minister healing or inflict wounds. Words have a very powerful affect upon people.
Once a lady in the community had gotten very bitter in the local Church. She had let hatred
build up in her heart and she began to go all over the community spreading slanders and lies
about the Pastor. This went on for days. She would gossip to any and all who would give
her their ear. Soon, the Spirit of God began to move powerfully on her, bringing about deep
regret, moving her to go to the Pastor and apologize. The Pastor said, "Oh yes, I forgive
you, but please come with me." He took a pillow filled with feathers, and led the repentant
woman to a windy hill side where he cut open the feather pillow. The strong swirling wind
took the loose feathers, blowing and scattering them all across the community. Then the
Pastor said to the woman, "Now, please go and retrieve each feather." She exclaimed, "That
is impossible. I could never gather them all up. They have gone all over the town!" The
Pastor answered and said, "That’s right and neither will you be able to take back all the lies
and allegations you spoke."
God will give grace to bridle the tongue if we are willing to face these foes. One of the main
intentions of these demons is to bring about such a contamination in communication that all
lines of communication are shut down. They intensely seek to foster allegations, malicious
words and spiteful slander so that people in leadership will totally separate themselves from
one another.
The Tongue
The Word of God reminds us that our tongue is an indicator of a person’s spirit. It reveals
what is in the heart. Jesus said, in Matthew 12:33-37, "Either make the tree good, and his
fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his
fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the
heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by
thy words thou shalt be condemned." The Lord warns us that our words are a window to
our heart so that what comes out of our mouth is a revealing of what is deep within our heart.
Additionally, Christ declares in Matthew 15:18, "Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever
entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? But those
things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false
witness, blasphemies."
Taming the Tongue
In the timeless New Testament passage on the tongue, the Apostle James warns precisely
against the evil of an uncontrolled and uncharitable tongue. James 3:1-12 (NIV), "Not many
of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach
will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in
what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. When we put bits
into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take
ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are
steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a
small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire
by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It
corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by
hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are be-ing tamed and
have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of
deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men,
who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same
spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a
salt spring produce fresh water."
Small but Powerful
The tongue is a very small yet powerful organ used for talking and taste. The Bible reveals
many different descriptive examples using the tongue. For example:
The tongue can be sharpened like a sword. In Psalms 64:1-4, David states, "Hear My voice,
O God, in my complaint; guard and preserve my life from the terror of the enemy. Hide me
from the secret counsel and conspiracy of the ungodly, from the scheming of evildoers, Who
whet their tongues like a sword, who aim venomous words like arrows, Who shoot from
ambush at the blameless man; suddenly do they shoot at him, Without self-reproach or
fear." The tongue can be used to speak forth words as a weapon for attack (Jeremiah 18:18),
wounding like a sharp sword (Psalms 57:4).
The tongue can be deadly like a serpent. (Psalms 140:3) This is a reference to its ability to
utter sarcastic, caustic and poisonous words. The tongue is like a warrior’s bow, in that the
tongue can project lies (Jeremiah 9:3), which can fly like an arrow, striking down with its
deadly deceit. (Jeremiah 9:8) The tongue can be used for flattery which can be just as deadly
and destructive as criticism. (Psalms 5:9, Proverbs 28:23)
Also see:
Backbiting (Psalms 15:3, Proverbs 25:23)
Cursing (Hosea 7:16)
Deceit (Psalms 50:19)
Destruction (Psalms 52:2)
Craftiness (Job 15:5)
Unrestrained speech (Psalms 73:9)
Lying (Psalms 109:2, Proverbs 26:28)
Strife (Psalms 31:20)
The tongue can be yielded to the Spirit of God and used for good. Or yielded to the evil
spirit and used for harm and hurt. Our words can heal or wound.
People may use the tongue to sin (Psalms 39:1) or to speak of the Lord’s great grace and
tender mercies. (Psalms 35:28) Our tongue can be used to sound out the praises of God.
(Psalms 126:2) The tongue of the wise renders health. (Proverbs 12:18) The tongue of the
righteous is a treasure, like choice silver. (Proverbs 10:20) The Bible speaks of keeping the
tongue from evil (Psalms 34:13), of guarding the tongue (Proverbs 21:23), and of bridling the
tongue. (James 1:26)
Note the following verses from Proverbs:
Proverbs 8:8
All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. (NIV)
Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (NIV)
Proverbs 12:6
The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
(NIV)
Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. (NIV)
Proverbs 17:27
A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-
tempered. (NIV)
Proverbs 18:4
The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters, but the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling
brook. (NIV)
Proverbs 18:8
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts.
(NIV)
Proverbs 19:27
Stop listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
(NIV)
Proverbs 22:12
The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the
unfaithful. (NIV)
Proverbs 22:17
Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, (NIV)
Proverbs 22:21
teaching you true and reliable words, so that you can give sound answers to him who sent
you? (NIV)
Proverbs 23:9
Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words. (NIV)
Proverbs 23:12
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. (NIV)
Proverbs 29:19
A servant cannot be corrected by mere words; though he understands, he will not
respond. (NIV)
Proverbs 29:20
Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him. (NIV)
Proverbs 30:6
Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. (NIV)
Hatred and Strife

Contention is as a fire. It burns and sears the soul, burns up all that is good, and puts
families, friends and even entire societies into a consuming flame. In Proverbs 26:20-22 we
are told how that fire is commonly kindled and kept burning so that we may avoid the
occasions of strife and so prevent the devilish consequences of it. The Scriptures warn that
we must not give ear to talebearers for they feed the fire of contention with their verbal fuel.
Each time we permit ourselves to join in slander or gossip, (it does not matter if we are the
one speaking or the one listening), we are guilty of spreading wild fire set on fire by hell itself.
(James 3:6) These words we speak are fireballs, causing devastation and destruction
everywhere they fall. The souls of men are in a time of drought because of a lack of unity and
mistrust; these winds of mistrust and doubt have fanned the flames of these wild fires into a
burning raging fire. We cannot continue to give ear to anyone who is busy revealing secrets,
and misrepresenting words and actions. These people are doing what they can to make
relations, friends and neighbors jealous one of another, to alienate them one from another.
This is the work of the accuser of the brethren himself. When a person is used to sow
discord among believers they are working against the Spirit of God. Whisperers and
backbiters are incendiaries not to be allowed to burn out of control. In Proverbs 18:8, the
word declares that the words of a tale-bearer are as wounds - deep and dangerous wounds.
See Proverbs 26:23

EXTEND MERCY
by Judy Curmi
Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy.(Matt. 5:7)
10-16-98 "Woe to those of you who are not extending mercy. If you don’t extend it, don’t expect to receive it from
me.
Unforgiveness is a dangerous animal with very big fangs. There are millions right now who are playing Russian
Roulette with finger pointing, accusations and unforgiveness. It’s everywhere, in the media, in your congress, in the
churches, everywhere. Don’t you know what my Word says? Do you think I just put the Words in there so you
could pick out and flaunt the words that would make you feel self-righteous and proud or angry and bitter?
Resentment is a vicious dog. Jealous is a vicious dog. Have you noticed how these "dogs" run in packs like jackals?
Accusation never runs by itself. It always runs in packs with other emotion such as anger, jealousy, self-
righteousness and gossip!
Again, I say: Woe to you who are not extending mercy and forgiveness, but instead stir up the Pot of Filth brewing
on the fire. DO YOU THINK THAT FIRE IS BY ACCIDENT? WHERE DO YOU THINK IT COMES
FROM? Why do you put your head over the kettle and breath in the fumes so deeply? Don’t you know the poison
will permeate your whole body?
WAKE UP! START DOING WHAT MY WORD TELLS YOU TO DO. I’m tired of your sanctimonious
preening, telling the world you are Christians, when you have totally given yourselves over to evil. You are doing
exactly the opposite of what my Son told you to do. Do you really think you can stand before me and expect me to
cancel your debt when you won’t cancel others debts? How can you seriously expect me to extend mercy to you,
when you won’t extend it to others?
Woe to you, very foolish ones. You have your opportunity to serve me in righteousness, but you turn your backs.
My Son says he does not know you and neither do I. Repent or reap the harvest of your lack of mercy, accusations,
jealousy, bitterness and unforgiveness.
I have spoken.

The Church is Losing Its Face

by John Paul Jackson
[Source: Rivermail]
http://www.zebra.net/~msos/Faceless.htm
Years ago, the Lord began to give me and others dreams and visions about a breed of people who would become leaders
when God returned the "Passion of Pentecost" to the church. These were faceless people, in whom the glory of God
would show more than their ministry would.
Today's renewal by the Holy Spirit may well be the beginning of what will one day become a divine network of massive
proportions. It may well foretell a time when the favour of God, flowing unencumbered through faceless men, will
transcend human structures.
"Faceless," however, does not mean "nameless." When God intensely breathes His Spirit into people, they become
known. Facelessness must mean something other than "persona-non-grata."
Seven Characteristics of Facelessness
1. Authority by Favour
It would be interesting to see how many leaders would have any followers if it weren't for the formation of structural
hierarchy. It has been said that, "A man who says he is leading, but has no one following, is merely taking a stroll."
Many leaders today are taking long, leisurely strolls.
True authority does not come through having a title; it comes through favour. Favour itself appears in two forms: favour
with God and favour with man (Lk 2:52). Favour with God is evidenced through a gift or anointing. Favour with men is
evidenced through the timing in which that gift is released and embraced by others. While favour with God comes directly
from His throne, favour with man comes from God through others.
Faceless people will wait for God to grant them favour in the hearts of others, before they shout "Follow me." These
people will not demand that others follow, but others will soon demand that they lead.
2. More Love for Jesus Than For Theological Dogmas
Through the centuries people and churches have been divided by differing theological perspectives. With the passing of
time, theologies are often modified, but friendships and churches, shredded by this self-righteous madness seldom
reconcile. Meanwhile, heaven is sobbing.
Faceless men will be driven to seek the council of others through whom the Spirit of God flows, regardless of their
theological differences.
They will value each others love for Jesus, more than their own theology. Calvin and Armenius will seek the mind of God
from each other because in the light of God's glory most of our theology seems weak and trite anyway.
3. Relationship Over Hierarchy
The greatest changes in the church come through relationship. Faceless men and women can not be "coccooned" by
denominational structures. They will be well springs of life to others and receive life from others regardless of
denomination or affiliation.
They will recognize that the Holy Spirit is desiring them to become interdependent. They will embrace the 'spiritual
synergy' that occurs when two or more agree regardless of theology. When two can put ten thousand to flight, why
should they struggle with a mere thousand, alone?
4. Character Over Giftedness
It is normal to desire more of God's power -- especially when we see it flowing through others. Often, however, we are
unaware of the character building trials that God has allowed them to go through to prepare them for that experience.
Character is today's definition of what Scripture calls "righteousness." It's comprised of integrity and maturity.
Although we may occasionally experience the power of God flowing through us, it never flows consistently over a long
period of time, without our 'wineskin' (character) being changed.
"An inheritance gained hastily at the beginning will not be blessed at the end "(Pr 20:21). The wine of heaven will only
tear us where we are weakest if we don't allow God's 'tanning' process to soften us.
Character doesn't come fast, nor does it come easy, but it lasts a long, long time. Character is God's inoculation against
the pride that comes when His power flows through mere men.
5. Lack of Ownership
These faceless believers will have already relinquished their "Isaac" to the Lord. They understand that the ministry they
have built all their lives is not theirs. It belongs to God. This truth only surfaces when leaders have stared the death of
their ministry in the face, and realize they have failed that -- God is the only one who can keep it alive.
It is easy to give our ministry, our church, or even our anointing to another when we do not own it. When we have
conquered the desire to "own," we experience the greatest freedom to build what is His. We have nothing to protect, and
no reputation to uphold. Everything is now God's to kill or keep alive.
6. Greater Anointing With Less Privilege
Faceless people know they have not earned their gifting and anointing, and so are content with less public recognition.
The demand for greater recognition comes when men feel they have worked hard for what they have. One of the most
common means of obtaining that recognition is to demand to be given honour and privilege.
The world lacks people who will take lesser privilege with greater anointing - men who will raise the dead and not demand
a raise.
7. Kings Without Kingdoms
I believe the ability to be in ministry without measuring its success by its size or numerical impact is the hallmark of
facelessness for it embodies all the other virtues. It is often thought that kingdoms define the parameters, or boundaries,
of a person's rule, authority, impact, and anointing.
However, if that were true, the size of our kingdom would define how anointed our ministry is -- the larger the kingdom,
the more anointed and successful. The flip side is that if our kingdom decreased the assumption is that we must have
lost our anointing. According to that thinking we must always be striving for larger churches, seeking to attract others
who will take our name -- denominations are the result.
While none of the above mind-sets are evil, faceless people do not care about kingdom size. Their ministry may expand
or contract, go into hiding or be exhibited before nations. None of it matters to them, for they give thanks in all things,
understanding that it is the will of God (1 Thes 5:18).
How does God view our efforts? "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirits" (Pr
16:2). Faceless people will not be perfect, but they will be broken in heart and contrite in spirit. On the shoulders of such
people God will place the weight of His kingdom.

Faith That’s Been Tested By Fire

by Jim Wies
As we were experiencing a wonderful anointing of God’s presence during worship in our Wednesday night meeting, the
"spirit of prophecy" began to move with exhortations telling us that many were on the right trail, headed up the mountain,
but it was as if we had come into a cloud bank and had become momentarily disoriented, confused and weary as we had
lost sight of the mountain top "objective". The Lord was gently assuring us we were on the right path and to persevere in
faith for the breakthroughs. Before the meeting was over, many were refreshed, revived, re-ignited in their faith and ready
to persevere. We were reminded of the Scripture that states "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not." Gal 6:9
I have an excitement in my spirit as I sense that the waters are rising; that we are going to continue to see an increase in
the revelation, power and presence of God in our midst; that our "due season" is upon us. It is not a time to let up, let
down, or give up. It is a time to stand up, reach up and hang on to the promises of God. He is faithful! He is all powerful,
all knowing, and He ever cares for us. Yet He wants us to have a faith that will endure the fire.
In the midst of Peter’s "test of faith" after he had denied the Lord, - when he felt all was lost, he had failed miserably, and
there seemed like no prospect for the fulfillment of the promises, - he had Jesus, who had prayed for him that "his faith
not fail". Of course we know that Jesus rose again from the dead and redeemed the whole situation. Glory to God!
That is why Peter could so confidently write in his letter: "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead... "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that
the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be
found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do
not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory"1 Pet. 1:3,6-8
Keep walking.. The clouds are about to break... and there is Sonshine on the other side....

A Famine in the Land

Bryan Hupperts
He (Jacob) said, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; get down there and buy grain for us, that we may
live and not die." Gen. 42.2.
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not of bread, nor of
water, but for hearing the word of the Lord. Amos 8: 11.
Behold, the eyes of the Lord are upon those that fear him…to keep them from death and keep them live in
famine. Psalm 33: 19.
With all of the Gospel preaching and teaching available over the radio, television, and internet; with the plethora of
Christian book and tapes available; with a church building accessible from most anywhere, could there be a soon coming
famine of hearing the word of the Lord?
Consider Joseph. He was rejected and betrayed, sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers. Those same brothers were
both children and inheritors of Abraham's covenant with God. These brothers continued to live the good life in Canaan
with their father's blessing while their innocent brother languished as an accused sex offender, forgotten in a foreign
prison. Painfully, it was Joseph who was seemed to be under God's judgment because "his soul (had) entered into the
irons and the word of the Lord came and tested him." While in prison, I believe that Joseph learned the secret of abiding
moment by moment in the secret place of the Most High. By type, he was seated in the heavenly places in Christ long
before his earthly exaltation to the throne of Egypt.
Joseph learned to simply abide in Christ.
When the prophesied famine struck the earth, there was plenty of grain in storage in Egypt. Joseph had been first
prepared, and then promoted by God to the very throne of Egypt serving as a father to Pharaoh. What his brothers
intended for evil, God meant for good. Only Joseph could interpret Pharaoh's dream concerning the coming abundance of
grain and the soon following famine. He devised a plan to gather and store grain to preserve life. He stored so much grain
that it was beyond counting. Egyptian mathematicians and accountants could not handle such large calculations and
amounts of grain. There was abundance "pressed down, running over" of the blessing of God.
Grain, in scripture, is a type for the Word of God. The Bible compares the Word to seed. Jesus, the Word made flesh, is
called the "Bread of Life." The abundance of grain in Egypt was a foreshadowing of having an abundance of the presence
of the Lord while the rest of the world was starving for "bread." This is a picture of being so filled with the Life and Spirit of
God that you supernaturally overflow with His presence. Doesn't He promise that, "out of their bellies will flow rivers of
Living Water?"
God promises that a famine of hearing the word of the Lord is coming on the land. Does that mean that all of the gears of
Christendom will stop grinding? Probably not at first. I believe that God had been preparing Joseph's for the coming days
- saints who have been tried and tested in secret and found faithful. The Lord has been storing the grain of his Word in
their hearts to speak a timely word in due season. They will be able to share the Bread of Life because they themselves
are filled with the Bread of Life.
I believe that those who have made God a business, who have watered down the message of the Cross to create a
palatable fast food version of Christianity, who hold to a form of religion but deny the power of the Cross to transform
lives, will like Joseph's brothers, be shown to be barren of grain. While the Joseph's will feast, they will know only famine.
They will not have the word of the Lord even though they might really be children of the covenant. They may really have a
genuine faith in God, but not be personally filled with His Spirit.
When so much of the church-world is starving for the Bread of Life, God will reveal His hidden Joseph's to bring forth the
grain in order to preserve life. I believe that a famine of hearing the word of the Lord is already underway. There is a lot of
good spiritual information available but does it produce Life within you? Are you feeding on mere spiritual information or is
the Bread of Life nourishing you with life giving sustenance?
God will anoint his Joseph's so that they may bring forth from the storage bins of their hearts the Life-giving Word to His
people. He will honor those who honor Him. He will humble the proud and exalt those who have humbled themselves
under His mighty hand.
There will be grain in Egypt. Just like Joseph's barren, starving brothers, the carnal saints will come to beg or buy grain,
only to be first confronted with the true state of their Laodician hearts. Joseph's brothers came before him, they had to
first confess their sin. Like David, when they kept silent about their sin, they did not prosper. When they confessed it,
they were restored to health. While awaiting an almost certain judgment to fall, they were stunned to find that they were
instead freely forgiven. Joseph embraced them and seated them all at the king's table to feast on His goodness. Like
Jesus, Joseph was seated on a throne not only of authority, but also of Grace!
Joseph wept a great deal because he had a tender heart of mercy. How like God whose mercies are new every morning!
It is in times of famine that you relearn to focus on the basic necessities of life. My sense is that God is going to show
much of the religious world is barren by anointing "rejected" vessels that will simply serve and honor Him. He is seeking
for those who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth. He will place His hand of favor upon those who have fully given
themselves to Him. The Lord knows those who are really His.
Will you humble yourself before God allowing Him to work the death of the Cross within you so that He might resurrect
you in His image? For the joy set before you, will you endure the Cross? Will you be one who has "grain" while the rest
of the world languishes in famine?
God invites whosoever will to come and "buy bread without money." His banqueting table is always set for those who will
seek Him with all of their heart. He will set a table in the wilderness in the very presence of your enemies so that you
may freely feast upon His goodness.
When the famine in the land comes, will you have grain for the hungry? Will you be able to offer the spiritually emaciated
the nourishing Bread of Life?
Be blessed,
Bryan Hupperts

Faith and Patience

Jim Rinker
"It will take both faith and patience in order to receive the promises of God"
I have spoken to the hearts of many of My children and deposited in their spirit a true vision for the establishment of My
kingdom on earth. That vision cannot come to pass without My manifest presence in your midst.
Because I have tarried says the Lord, many of My children have forsaken My vision which I have given them and have
settled back into the religious form that they are most familiar with. I want to reaffirm to you My children that it will take
both "faith" and "patience" to see the promises that I have spoken to you fulfilled in your midst.
I have tarried so that I may try you and find out all that is in your heart says the Lord. I have tarried and brought you
through the wilderness so that I may work into you My perfect faith and perfect patience which breeds perfect obedience
to My word says the Lord (Romans 5:2-5).
The enemy will attempt to use any and every temptation to try and get you to substitute religious form for My manifest
presence in this hour. Stand firm and be strong and courageous in this hour My children for I am well pleased with those
who reverence Me and My word above all else and will greatly reward those who will wait upon Me to go before them
(Isaiah 66:1-2, Exodus 33:12-23).
My instruction to you My children is to wait on Me in this hour for you can do nothing without Me and My manifest
presence in your midst. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on Me for many have decided in their heart to move presumpuously
before Me attempting to do the work of the kingdom by the hand of the flesh.
Have I not said to you that I desire obedience and not sacrafices?
Therefore, yoke yourself to Me for My yoke is easy and My burden is light. It is My full intention to fill the earth with My
glory through earthen vessel's that are completely submitted to My Lordship (Ephesians 3:10-12, Luke 9:23-24). Focus
your efforts in this hour on abiding in Me and allowing Me to perfect your obedience to Me for when I move I will
accomplish all that I have spoken by the strength of My spirit and not by the hand of the flesh.
It will take faith and patience to see My promises fulfilled in this hour!

A Call For Fathers

Bryan Hupperts
(August 1996) – USA
I saw in a vision a large mountain with many people streaming into a huge cavern at the base. Inscribed over the top of
the entrance were the words, "The entrance where many are called". I saw many people coming and going from this
entrance. Those leaving looked bloody and beaten up. They were shaking their heads saying, "I must have missed the
Lord", and, "That wasn't God's will for me". Others were cursing God for the miserable time they had in the cave. I
sensed that some never came out at all but died inside the catacombs.
Inside was a labyrinth of corridors, and the further you went in he smaller and more narrow the way went. People
wandered in and out of passages that looked like the exit but were really just dead ends. Many had no sense of what
direction to take to navigate the passages. On the backside of the mountain there was a little hole inscribed with a sign
saying, "The exit where few are chosen". The hole was so little that people had to be on their hands and knees to exit
into the light.
A curious thing began to happen to the few who had successfully navigated the cavern. They walked back around the
mountain and stood at the entrance. They would call out, "I've been through this and if you'll let me, help guide you. I can
show you the way through the mountain". Those who accepted the guides' help, began to get through the maze more
quickly and in increasingly greater numbers.
I believe that this vision relates to the lack of mentoring and discipleship in the church. There are ten thousand instructors
in Christ but not many Fathers. Because there is a lack of Fathers in the church to nurture and guide, few potential
leaders are surviving the breaking process and going on to maturity. I believe God wants us to quit trying to make
discipleship a program and see it instead as an exchange and impartation of life. Pastors, for example, need to not only
pastor the flock, but need to raise up other pastors. We need to reach out in love and begin nurturing and reproducing in
others what God is producing in us. I pray that the Lord would release an anointing of fatherhood in the church.

Where Will You Be Safe?

Katie Jordan
February 2, 1998
Look around you, My people, what do you see? Do you see a nation following My Commandments? Do you witness a
nation that has done away with the murder of the innocent? Do you truly understand that My Word declares I hate not
only the killing of the innocent, but I also hate liars? No liar shall have a place in Heaven, for I have not changed My
Word.
Your nation crumbles before your very eyes and I shall no longer protect a people who laugh at all My Commandments
and Statutes. I say to you, My own beloved people who truly listen to Me, BE PREPARED FOR THE WORST. Since I
have removed My hand of protection you may expect the flaming darts of the enemy to hit you from all sides.
WHERE WILL YOU BE SAFE? - ONLY UNDER MY WINGS AND ONLY IN THE CENTER OF MY WILL. For too long
now My church has lived as the world lives and tried to defend the horrible immorality surrounding it.
Decide now, THIS DAY, if you will choose to walk with Me or you will go the way of the world. Again I remind you that
you cannot walk with one foot in either path. It is not only awkward to do so but you will fall flat on your face, and who will
lift you up then? TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE OF HIGH HONOR AS ONE WHO IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF HIS
CREATOR. Oh My beloved, do not dishonor Me by walking as those in the world walk. Does not My Word say that if you
truly humble yourselves I SHALL LIFT YOU UP? Again I say, look around you and you will see the majority of mankind
exalting himself. As man does this, I must humble him and show him clearly that I AM THE CREATOR AND I SHALL BE
WORSHIPPED!
There is a soon coming day when every eye shall see the SON OF MAN coming in the clouds of Heaven and every ear
shall hear the sound of the trumpet. On this day, that is neither night nor day, but shall be called THE LORD'S DAY,
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OF LORDS AND KING
OF KINGS.

The "largest meeting of Christian pastors and leaders in the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium", as one participant
described it, took place on 4th April 1998, led by the Belgian Evangelical Mission's Johan Lukasse and Dawn Ministries'
Wolfgang Fernandez. Recent studies have shown that Flanders, with its population of 5,898,824, currently has only 245
Evangelical and Protestant churches. In order to achieve 1 church per 1,000 inhabitants, thereby approaching the
'saturation church planting' aim, some 6,000 more churches must be planted, according to Johan Lukasse. The five most
important denominations have set themselves the aim of planting another 245 churches by 2015, thus doubling their
current number. Church-planting has previously been regarded as difficult in traditionally Catholic and materialistic
Belgium, so most observers and participants see this aim as 'a challenge in faith'. The next step is a planned church-
planters' training conference with the German church growth specialist Christian Schwarz. Observers consider this to be
an unusual seminar, because pastors from the French and Flemish speaking parts of Belgium will attend together.

Spain: the bride ducks under the gate

An ever-growing number of Christians sense that humility, prayer and reconciliation are God's ways of clearing obstacles
to the evangelisation of nations and people groups. An international team of intercessors led by Rick Ridings, David
Rudolph, the International Reconciliation Coalition's John Dawson, Evan Thomas, Bob Lichty and Pedro Reyes recently
toured Spain to start prayer meetings at the spiritual hot-spots. Some months ago, Ridings had a vision of four spiritual
gateways which are the key to evangelising the Mediterranean area. He sensed that God was telling him that the
Alhambra Gate is one of these gateways. The Bride of Christ must humble herself at this gate - in his vision, Ridings saw
a white bride ducking to pass through the gate, which he understood to be a call to repentance where hindrances have
been laid in Jesus' name which prevent Muslims and Jews recognising Christ as their saviour.
During their prayer tour, the team ended up at the Alhambra Palace in Granada, a castle built by a Muslim prince which
was the last stronghold of Islam before the Muslims were violently driven out of Spain in 1492. Also at the palace in 1492,
King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued a decree banning all Jews from Spain. The main gate has a key chiseled into
it, which the Muslim prince called "David's key". Shortly after the prayer team's arrival, a real bride arrived there for her
wedding photos. She had to bend down to adjust her shoe, and, according to Ridings, looked just like the bride in his
vision. One week later, a larger team arrived, consisting of Messianic Jews, American Evangelicals, evangelical Catholics
and Christians from various nations, to bow down before God to ask for forgiveness for the sins of the past.

Thailand: late fire in the Karen Hills

The following is a report from a missionary with the evangelical missions agency WEC who works predominantly among
the S'gaw Karen, an indigenous tribe in the hill region on Thailand's western border. The Karen who live in Thailand and
Burma, in a region about the size of Israel. "In spite of the drug trafficking in Thung Pra, the German missionary Gerda
Meinusch established a church of 50 or 60 members. After 20 years of hard work, she had become tired. Shortly before a
well-earned home break, though, something new happened: as the people sang from their old songbooks, they suddenly
started to cry, and did not stop for a long time. Observers saw parallels with phenomena which occurred during the
'Catch the Fire' conference in Chiangmai in Northern Thailand in 1995. The Christians, with their newly-softened hearts,
also experienced signs of outer change: in the first year, they baptised 50 new believers, thus doubling their number.
Previously, only 3 or 4 people had been attending prayer meetings, now there were 70, and the meetings were lasting 3
or 4 hours. In the second year, the church again baptised 50 new Christians. Gerda has now reached retirement age, but
has returned to Thailand with a special visa in order to witness more of this revival and encourage it. Those who know the
region speak of a general revival among the Karen which is reaching whole camps and villages."

Egypt: church growth in Cairo
The free Protestant church Kasr-El-Dubara in Cairo, Egypt's capital, gained around 1,000 members in the last year. The
church, situated in the center of the city, is led by pastor Menis Abd El Noor, and now has around 6,000 people
attending the services, of which 75% are under 25 years old - a clear sign of significant spiritual hunger among Egypt's
coming generation. Source: name and address withheld.
India: Hindu reconversion attempts a huge flop
Dileep Singh Judeo is a member of the Indian government and vice president of the BJP, a fascist Hindu political party.
His life's aim is to convert thousands of members of tribes and the lower castes who have become Christians back to the
Hinduism which they forsook. Not long ago, he claimed that he would start a massive reconversion campaign in the
Riagarh district of Madhya Pradesh, in central India. Afterwards, he claimed that 6,000 Christians had returned to
Hinduism. "We sent an observer to check this claim," says Dr. Victor Choudhrie, an ex-surgeon who is now engaged full-
time in planting thousands of churches. The observer, a journalist, asked to be shown the register of the names of all
6,000 people willing to reconvert. He found only 600 names. On the arranged day, only 300 people showed up, of which
only 6 reconverted to Hinduism. Further investigation showed that even these 6 had never been Christians, but had only
come because the organisers had offered free clothes and other gifts, in a clear breach of the law. A similar scene
happened on 27 December in Betul, also in Madhya Pradesh. Hindu groups recently became aware of the rapidly
growing house church movement led by Dr. Choudhrie and his team in the area. According to the report, only 10 people
took part in the traditional ritual required to become Hindu - drinking a mix of cow urine and cow dung. Of those 10, some
were not baptised Christians. The reason for their participation was again that they had been put under pressure, and one
person admitted that he had been given clothing sufficient for his entire family for the next two years. Christians from all
over the world had been praying particularly for this reconversion campaign. "The net result," says Dr. Choudhrie, "was:
the megashow, as a local newspaper described it, became a megaflop." Source: Dr. Victor Choudhrie, Padhar, Dist.

Switzerland: 150 new churches since 1990
Swiss pastor Reinhold Scharnowski (Steffisburg) sees the three most important spiritual trends in Switzerland as the
restoration of the Christians: first: back to the roots, away from religion, coming out of hiding behind the church walls and
going into the world; second: the growth of inter-denominational networks such as those in Thun, Basel, Schaffhausen
and central Switzerland in which spiritual leaders take increasing responsibility for their regions, and thirdly in the growing
interest in the cell church model. One indication of this is, according to Scharnowski, that the largest Protestant church
in German-speaking Europe, 'Christliches Zentrum Buchegg', has restructured itself as a church with 120 cells. "Only a
few years ago," he said during a meeting of European DAWN representatives in Switzerland in mid-February, "church
planting was something of a taboo. Now, the understanding is growing that church planting is absolutely necessary if we
are to reach the whole nation with the gospel. We estimate that 150 new churches have been planted since 1990, of
which one third are ethnic churches for Tamils, Africans, Koreans, Portuguese, Philippinos etc. It must also be said that
around 25 of these new churches have since closed, but with around 10 new churches per year, church planting is
definitely on the increase." Source: R Scharnowski, Steffisburg
Taiwan: hope where there is none
"A woman who had become a Christian some months previously called us asking and urging us to come to help her
husband", report Alain and Rita Haudenschild, a missionary family in Taiwan. Her husband, Mr. Yang, was in intensive
care following his attempted suicide. "There's no hope left for Mr. Yang. He will probably die within the next four hours,
but will certainly not survive the night", explained a doctor. He had swallowed too much poison for the doctors to be able
to save his life. Yang, a devoted follower of the traditional gods and an ancestor worshipper, had a hard life: accidents,
family quarrels, huge debts, death threats from his creditors - he could see no way out other than to commit suicide.
"When we arrived in the hospital, we prayed with Mrs. Yang that God would keep her husband alive as a visible sign of
his power, and the local church started a 48-hour prayer chain. God kept him alive. Instead of dying, he decided to follow
his wife's example and become a Christian. His health is restored, and he has found a job so that he can repay his
debts." Source: Alain and Rita Haudenschild, Deutsche Missionsgemeinschaft; fax (49)-7265-959-109 ------------

South Africa: even mission leaders are healed sometimes

"As a missionary, you experience many things, including many miracles which happen to other people. Mostly, though,
other people are healed - but this time it was me! I can hardly believe it, but God healed me of great suffering!", writes Dr.
Johan Combrinck from Pretoria, South Africa. He is the director of AFNET, a network based on the DAWN strategy. "In
November 1997, I seriously injured my back. I simply lifted a coffee table in the AFNET office, then my back clicked and
that was it! To start with, I could feel nothing in my right hip and leg. The orthopedic surgeon prescribed rest in bed, at
Christmas of all times. However, it just became worse. With time, the pain became so bad that I could not sit, lie down
or move; I was completely immobile. X-rays showed serious damage to one of my vertebrae, and an NMR test revealed a
slipped disc. One piece of cartilage was pressing against the nerve, and another part had even fallen into the spinal
column, where it was also pressing against the nerve. As the neurosurgeon saw that, he said that it was 'enough to
cause pain and increasing immobility. The only solution is an operation' which could last up to 8 hours. The operation
was scheduled for February 9. I had no medical insurance, because it is too expensive for me as a missionary. The
operation was way beyond anything we could afford, so I repeatedly delayed it out of fear of bankruptcy. The doctors,
though, told me that the only alternative would be confinement to a wheelchair. That worked - I asked many people to
pray for me, all over the world. A few days before the operation, I was due to visit the neurosurgeon for a preparatory
examination. As you can understand, I slept badly the night before. But as I got up that morning, I felt no pain for the first
time in 3 months. I couldn't understand it, and it was 'clear' to me that it could only be a temporary reprieve. Then the
neurosurgeon examined me: the more tests he performed, the less he found. His surprise slowly gave way to total
astonishment, then he gave his diagnosis: 'For some medically unexplainable reason, you are healed. A natural reversal
of your pathological state is impossible. The only explanation for what you have experienced is a miracle,' he said,
reaching for the telephone to cancel the preparations for my operation. For the orthopedic surgeon who also examined
me, it was also the first case of a spontaneous healing without possible explanation - a miracle, as he also said. Today, I
can walk and move without pain. God has completely healed me. I have thanked him in tears countless times. I am
speechless." Source: Johan Combrinck; Fax (27)-12-3323824; e-mail: 100076,2414@compuserve.com
Germany: Jesus House rocks Europe
On 30 and 31 January, "Jesus House", Europe's first evangelical youth megaparty, took place in Nuremberg. 430
locations in Luxemburg, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Italy and Croatia were linked live by satellite. 1,413 Christian
churches joined to make the event happen. "Jesus House" was aimed at young people between 16 and 22. And what
was there to see? A mix of drama, break dancing and skateboarding, live music and messages to reach the youths with
the gospel. "And it worked," says the organising ProChrist team. Marburg's Roland Werner spoke before a full house -
over 1,500 people attended each evening. During the evangelistic 'altar calls', the people could hardly go forward because
of the crowds. An 'overwhelming' number - 2000 people - showed interest in a relationship with Jesus. Source: ProChrist,

Just healed of glaucoma, man raises the dead
"Ronny, a retired businessman, was recently healed of glaucoma, an eye disease leading to blindness, after receiving
prayer in Jesus' name," reports Jimmy Crompton. Soon afterwards, Ronny went to visit his daughter in Johannesburg.
One afternoon, he heard screams from the street - it was a woman, whose daughter had just been found at the bottom of
a swimming pool. "Nobody knew how long she had been there, but she was completely blue, had no pulse and had
ceased to breathe," says Ronny. Her mother was completely hysterical. Ronny took the mother and child into his
daughter's house and started to pray as others called the ambulance. He prayed for 20 minutes before becoming angry
and starting to loudly command the 'spirit of death'. Suddenly, the child turned over, regurgitated a huge amount of water
and began to scream. The mother and daughter's screams helped the ambulance find the house quickly. As soon as
they arrived, the medics examined the child and declared her completely healthy, but took her to hospital anyway in
case of complications. Further examinations showed that she had suffered no brain damage or other ill effects. Ronny is
convinced that Jesus raised the child from the dead. Source: Jimmy Crompton; e-mail: jrc@hinet.co.za
India: when the Lord guards the house
In one village in the so-called tribal belt of West Godaveri district in Andhra Pradesh state, the notorious 'Naxalites' often
rule - vigilante groups which use terror attacks to ensure 'law and order' is kept. One day during the rice harvest, they
decided to simply help themselves, taking the farmers' hard-earned harvest. One of the farmers, a committed Christian,
had already filled his harvest into 100 sacks and neatly stacked them in front of his door, ready for delivery. Not a single
grain was taken - a miracle for anyone who knows the Naxalites. God had guarded his house. Source: Evangelist Fred

Open Floodgates in ’98!

Prophetic word by: Pastor Bret Wade
1998 is the year of "New Beginnings" for the Church! It shall be a time when the preparation process of God that we have
gone through up to this time shall come to the stage of "Culmination". We shall see the strategic release of God’s order
upon the body of Christ as the restorational season of the Apostolic ministry explodes in the earth. This season shall be
marked by an overwhelming increase of miracles in the financial realm and in the physical realm (2 Corinthians 12:12).
The reaper shall surely overtake the sower in this time.
God is looking for those who will dare to stand in this hour knowing that they have been born for such a time as this.
God’s people shall be in position -
"Activate in ‘98".
The days of constant training will be concluding as real life, active-duty, military mobilization shall begin (Joel 3:9-10).
Those who have been trained will pick up the weapons they have been trained in and go forward without the excuses of
the past.
Relate, duplicate, delegate then elevate.

We will become more relational minded not only with those in the church but also within the communities. God will
cause a new anointing of mentoring to be released. This mentoring ability will be a release of the apostolic father’s heart
anointing that shall permeate the apostolic and prophetic people (Malachi 3:5-6). We will truly know those who labor
among us. Promotion from within the ranks shall come to those who have been faithful in the time of training and testing.
True sons and daughters shall be elevated with delegated authority in ’98. A hunger for the harvest shall consume them.
A "finishing" anointing shall come upon them to complete His work (John 4:34). A "spoiling" anointing shall drive them to
possess the land (Isaiah 57:13b). God shall give His heart for our communities. Whole cities will begin to be taken as
those who have been tried in the fire receive their reward. Their anointing shall be accompanied with fresh ideas and
innovative strategies (1 Corinthians 3:14)!
Church as usual will become a thing of the past as we

"Accelerate in 98!"
God will accelerate everything that it takes to accomplish His plan. Everything is in place, now it’s time to move forward
at an unprecedented rate.
We shall experience
"Open Floodgates in ‘98"
That which held back the outpouring that God wants to release shall no longer be in the way (Psalm 24:7-8). The
Heavens shall remain open over us and the outpouring shall touch all the land. God will reveal Himself to His people in
ways that they have not known Him (Jeremiah 33:3). Signs , miracles and wonders shall be the expected norm for those
who have stood in the midst of the current wind of God. Expect, expect, expect!
We have been in a day where that which has been built on our foundations has been exposed by adversity (1 Corinthians
3:13). It's been a time of going back to the foundational basics of prayer, fasting and life according to the Word of God.
He's been shaking the Church to separate the goat mentality out of the sheep (Deuteronomy 23:14). Now He will begin
"shaking the world" systems (1Peter 4:17). They’ll know that His kingdom rules over all. He's positioning us to be ready
for harvesting! A shaken people need a sure foundation!
I saw a vision of a knife being laid on a whetstone. The oil was on the stone and on the blade’s edge. The angle had been
adjusted and the pressure had been applied. The expectancy of the sharpening stroke rose within me as I saw the Lord
ready with anticipation to put a new finely sharpened, razor edge to the body of Christ.
Expectantly,
Pastor Bret Wade

Parable Of The Fig Tree

Bill Somers
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he
came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking
fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it,
and dung it:
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13:6-9
The passage above, one of Jesus' parables, can be interpreted as an allegory of the end times. Just
as he interpreted the parable of the sower for his followers, we can interpret this parable in the same
way. First we identify each element of the story and then explain their interaction.
The Elements.
The certain man here is God the Father. The vineyard is the world and the fig tree is the church. The
fruit he is looking for is the harvest or the completion of the Great Commission. The three years are
three millennia since the birth of Jesus; the church is entering its third millennium. The vinedresser is
Jesus. Digging about the tree and fertilizing it speaks of the judgment on the church that must come
before the harvest. Indeed the judgment is required to produce the harvest just as fertilizing is required
to produce a crop.
The Action.
There is a threat of judgment on the unfruitful tree.
He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he
came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking
fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? Luke 13:6-7
The owner of the vineyard is God the Father. He comes expecting that it will finally bring him the fruit
his heart desires, but finding none he decrees judgment, a judgment of wrath.
Luke 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
The three years are three millennia since the birth of Jesus; the church is entering its third millennium.
This also hearkens back to Genesis chapter 1, where God commands the earth to yield its harvest on
the third day.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree
yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree
yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the third day. Genesis 1: 11-13
The vinedresser is Jesus, who intercedes with his father to forestall his wrath.
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25
Jesus is following the pattern of intercession used by Moses in Exodus 32, Numbers 14 and other
places.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before
him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. Psalms 106:23
So the vinedresser proposes an alternative that will make the tree fruitful. This is not a judgment of
wrath, but of strong chastisement.
And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it,
and dung it:
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13:8-9
To dig about it and dung it is to fertilize it so it will bear fruit.
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the
Father in my name, he may give it you John 15:16
The digging is breaking up of the fallow ground.
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is
time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. Hosea 10 12
Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become
heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. Micah 3:12
For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow
ground, and sow not among thorns.
Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of
Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Jeremiah 4:3 -4
If we don't break up our own fallow ground, our hearts, the plowman of Isaiah 28, Jesus will come
along and break it up for us. This next passage shows speaks of judgment coming to the church as a
plowing on the hill of Zion. And the second verse gives the results of the plowing, revival and harvest.
Micah 3:12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall
become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Micah 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the
LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the
hills; and people shall flow unto it.
The dung speaks of reproach, and judgment.
Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are
round about us. Psalms 44:13
A rain to water the tree and allow the fertilizer to be absorbed into its root system must follow it. This
speaks of the latter rain that brings the harvest.
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath
smitten, and he will bind us up.
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his
sight.
Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the
morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the
earth. Hosea 6:1-3
Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my
people. Hosea 6:11
This passage then is speaking of Judgment on the Church.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: …. 1 Pet 4:17
And this is a redemptive judgment, a judgment with a purpose. It's so that the church might be purged
and purified so it can be used to bring in the harvest. So it will bring forth fruit.
The scriptures are full of examples of God's people coming under judgments and how they prayed and
sought him during these judgements Let these be our examples for intercession in these trying times
about to come upon us.
We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have
rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to
our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day;
to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are
near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because
of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers,
because we have sinned against thee. Daniel 9:5-8
Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and
the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that
we be no more a reproach. Nehemiah 2:17
Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with
contempt.
Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the
contempt of the proud Psalms 123:3-4
Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach
of all the mighty people;
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached
the footsteps of thine anointed. Psalms 89:50-51
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these
feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a
day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go
up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and
give them for a prey in the land of captivity: Nehemiah 4:2-4
All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of
Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the
whole earth?
All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth:
they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have
found, we have seen it. Lamentations 2:15-16
Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Lamentations 5:1
Psalm 44 To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil

1 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in
their days, in the times of old.
2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst
afflict the people, and cast them out.
3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm
save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because
thou hadst a favour unto them.
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them
under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.
9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for
themselves.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the
heathen.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are
round about us.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the
people.
15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and
avenger.
17 ¶ All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely
in thy covenant.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the
shadow of death.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the
slaughter.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
Romans 8:
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with
him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is
even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep
for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the
love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Finishing the Race

The Great Move of God
By Peter Martinez
1 Corinthians 9:24-27, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the
prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all
things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so
run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and
bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should
be a castaway."
Hebrews 12:1 "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with
patience the race that is set before us, "
This is an open vision given to me by the Lord to help me and those called to join with the King in the final quest to
bring home the bride. I sense the Lord communicated this to me for the purpose of clarifying and directing me and
those who have committed their lives to finish their course in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We begin in a small company. The Lord Jesus Himself is leading through what appears to be a thick forest. All that
we can see is the back of His head. Long smooth hair. He is slender and swift and sure of His direction. There are
just a few in this company. 12 or so, I could not count. All eyes were on Him as we moved through the forest. Thick
underbrush covered a path that was barely discernable. Were it not for the King knowing the way, getting lost in this
jungle would be very, very easy.
Slowly yet steadily the King picked up the pace. I could see His crown and He was wearing a cape. We kept up
with Him as we glided through the brush. All of us silently moving in unity with our leader. Communication was not
necessary, we were one. He moved left and each would instinctively follow. No questions, we just did it.
After some time we come to a part of the forest which opens up a bit. The path is move visible here. Not quite a
clearing but a lot wider than the other parts of the forest. Something isn't right. We can all feel it. Still no words.
None needed. We can feel the danger. The King slips behind a tree just off the path. We all imitate Him. Each of us
with our backs to a tree waiting. Something is coming up the path behind us. There is no fear. The King waits like a
hunter awaiting his prey.
Suddenly through the brush come beasts which look like pigs and one large black one which looked like a bull. As
they pass the King they are killed by the sword that is suddenly in His hand. One after another. We seem to
participate to some degree although I mostly am observing. Finally the last one, the black bull, passes and stumbles
to his death. His body is pierced with several arrows. He dies.
Immediately we resume the journey with the King at the head again. The path widens a bit more and again we sense
danger. Ambush. Men which look like savages with paint on their faces and spears begin to emerge from the bush.
They are too late. Their timing is off. We were past them as they came down and they begin to pursue. The King
never turns. His just increases the pace. One of our company is in the back. "Keep moving, stragglers get killed."
We all heard it in our hearts. We all knew, this is one race where you don't look back. The last of our company
pressed something in the middle of what looked like his breastplate and suddenly he was propelled up with the rest.
The pursuers fade away as this little band led by the King simply outrun them. They cannot catch up. We move too
swiftly staying right behind our King. The forest begins to recede away and we appear to be coming upon a river. I
can see the King better now. His crown upon His head. He never breaks stride and does not look back. He knows
we're right behind Him. We all instinctively trust Him with our lives. He will take us through.
Without breaking His stride or slowing a bit, He runs right over the edge of the cliff. It's at least a 100 foot drop to
the water. I can see a rope tied to his legs. I wonder if He will make it to the water. Splash. He is in and up on the
other side and fastens the rope to the other side. Now I see what He is doing. We all follow. We climb up the other
side and follow again. Again, He runs. Instinctively we follow. We should be tired. We are tired, but we can't stop.
Why not? It is not clear why, we just know. He is setting the pace and we must just follow.
We finally arrive at a vast clearing. It is massive. I am doubled over catching my breath. The King is not even
winded. My hands are on my knees as I just try to catch my breath. That was a long run. That was a great distance.
All of us are tired.
"Now that you know the way, you must go back!" Said the King with absolute certainty that we would. It was not a
request. He already knew we would do anything He asked. "You must go back and lead the people back here, then
they can all rest." He said it and that settled it. I instantly thought of the river. How would we get them across the
river. The rope. The rope now spanned the river. We could construct a bridge. I began to just understand.
At that moment, after that long run, I understood the responsibility of an apostle. We would always go twice. Once
with the King to train us and then again with the sheep. It brought new meaning to being "out in front." None of us
were concerned or nervous. We were made for this. This is what we do and who we are. We were called to serve
and serve we will. I understood. The greatest shall be a servant.
We make our way back to the river. Together we string the bridge across the water. It will hold. It will work. While
He is not visible to our eyes, we can sense the King's presence guiding us as He did before. There is no difference.
His fragrance, His essense is still there. Silently directing our every move. Without thinking or reasoning, we just
work together. There is no conversation. None is needed. We are one. We know what we must do. We must return
to the sheep. Back through the woods. We knew the way.
We arrive at the other side of the forest and suddenly I am alone as I come through the last stretch of woods to see
the company assigned to me. The other apostles were gone. I knew where they went. They were with their
companies. I came through. The leaders of our company instinctively run toward me expecting news of the road
ahead.
"Prepare to move out. We must go through." The words come out of my mouth with absolute assurance and
authority. Instantly they began to prepare. A shepherd is there and comes up to me. He has been crying over one of
His sheep. It is wounded and He has been praying for healing. I touch the sheep and instantly it is healed. The
shepherd is overjoyed. Whatever reservations or doubts he had were dissolved as he saw the healing. He
immediately goes to join the other shepherds working with the sheep to gather them all together. We must travel
together.
Remembering the dangers ahead and that we will not be able to move as quickly and swiftly as the first time through,
I order the commander of the archers to take lead position with me and to form a phalanx formation with archers on
each side of the path.
Before we begin, I walk through the flock. They all seem to see something in me. They seem to know who I am and
who has sent me. They are very calm. I find many being taught and instructed on order and obedience. Some of the
younger ones being trained over and over again. Their teachers showing such patience. The shepherds move with
me. They do not say a word but they beam like a proud father as I survey their little groups. Each one in order,
ready to move. You can see the love they have for their little flocks. They would give their lives for them. They can
be trusted to stay with them no matter what.
Arriving at the rear I find those with the task of catching stragglers. They are grim as they look about. They each
have a staff with a hook at the end. Should any stray from the rest, they will meet these lost sheep gatherers who's
only commission is to catch and return all stragglers that none are lost. Today they scour the landscape looking for
anything that moves. They are always hungry for stragglers. They are ready at a moments notice to retrieve any lost
sheep and return them into the arms of their shepherd...and a long discussion with the teachers.
As I move back to the front, I have a new understanding of the five-fold ministry. I understand the tremendous
responsibility of the Apostle. The Prophets are commissioned with guarding and protecting. They head the archers,
the intercessors, who offensively destroy all ambush and attacks. Then there are the shepherds and teachers who
tend the flock and keep them clean, strong, and well fed. Then there is the Evangelist who pounces on stragglers and
gets them back to the shepherds. It is not separate as I once thought. They are not independent of one another. It is
a family. They are one. Each serving in the role for which they were designed and given. None envious or jealous of
another. All in one accord.
There is such unity among all of us as we move out. The follow me like the apostles followed the King. I can feel His
essence in front of me again. I can almost see Him. The Prophets are looking out for danger. They fully trust that I
know the way. That I will keep following the King through. The Pastors and Teachers keep the sheep in order. They
comfort and exhort them to keep moving and that all will be well. They warn them not to leave the flock and that
they protected while they stay together. They answer the same questions over and over again. "Where are we
going?" To be with the King! "When will we get there?" Soon, very soon. The Evangelists are spread out in the rear.
Not one should be lost. Not one! They will not tolerate even one lost sheep. No matter what, none will straggle on
their watch.
As we come to the place where the path widens, the procession stops. The archers take position. "Clear the path!" I
shout. To one side they all go. In just moments the path is clear. As though right on cue, the beasts I saw the first
time come through. Foolish beasts. They were easy picking for the archers. "Let's keep moving." I say to the
Pastors, and again the procession continues. I know what is next. The ambush. We will not be able to outrun them
this time. This time they will BE ambushed. I instruct the prophets who have already smelt the danger. They line up
the archers and again, right on cue, the ambush arrives...only to meet their death at the hand of archers that don't
miss. All the savages are dead. Not one survives.
We move through the rest of the forest without incident and arrive at the river's edge. The bridge is there. It is
secure. No one knows and no one needs to know how it got there. It's not important. The apostles know and the
King knows. That is enough. We all pass over the river.
Finally we arrive into the clearing where the Lord our King spoke to us and commanded us. From every direction,
Apostles are bringing their companies into the massive valley. Each in order. All the sheep well cared for and
altogether beautiful. The valley is quickly filling with company after company. I realize that there are thousands upon
thousands of apostles leading groups large and small. All in formation. All in order. All spotless and beautiful. The
quest is over. The King and His herds are united. All the danger is past. From here on they will be with their King!
As I reflect on this powerful panorama, I realize the tremendous responsibility of each part of the family of God.
None are less important than others. None can be left out. They are all needed. We can't live without any of them.
As I look out on the church, I see Pastors trying to be Apostles and vice versa. I see Evangelist getting lost sheep
together but not sure what to do with them after that. Shortly thereafter, they are lost again, only to be corralled by
another evangelist. I see teachers trying to teach but they are not being listened to. The Intercessors shoot as many
arrows at one another and at ministers as they do the enemy. Almost all of them are wounded.
Ministers of Miracles and Healings start going their own way. They just keep marching around and around, going
nowhere. Helps and Administration ministers are trying to help but they just keep getting frustrated and keeping
moving from place to place, hoping that the next "herd" is going to be better. "The sheep are not in order" is all they
keep saying.
I see Prophets hollering at everybody and chasing after wolves and other predators who are able to devour at will.
Massive chaos. Tremendous pain and bloodshed. Disorder and petty fighting among leaders. My heart breaks. They
cannot travel like this. They cannot reach the other side like this. No, we must have order. God's divine order.
This cry comes from my heart. The Spirit of the Lord, the essence of our King, would lead us to safety. We must
submit ourselves to the word of the Lord and the will of the Lord or all is lost. Ministries must be lead by apostles
again. Order must be restored. Apostles must be willing to go the route twice. Once with the Lord and once with the
brethren.
Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. "

The Fire Is For Three Things

William Hawkins
This past Sat. evening at the church while in prayer the Lord took me above the church to show me the following:
It was as though I was floating above the church at least 3--500 feet above.
I could see a ring of fire surrounding the church.
Outside the fire were a lot of scorpions ready to attack if the fire went down so they could get in.
Inside the fire were SOME people that were desperately running back and forth fanning the flames to keep them bright.
The Lord then spoke the following to me;
" The fire is for three things;

1. To keep the enemy out.
2. To burn those fanning it, and purify them by refinement.
3. To be a light to the lost and a beacon to the hurting..
He said "The next few days will tell if the church is successful in doing what I have called her to do"
I felt he was speaking of our role in intercessory prayer as I felt this is what was going on with the fanning of the flames. It
was all too obvious that there were not enough people to do the job and the Lord was calling for more to come forth and
join the works. It also (I think) speaks to revival and our calling to reach the lost, which we are not getting done.

FireLand!
Revival Comes To Ireland!!!
John Henshaw
YES ... Praise God
The people of Ireland held a referendum to vote for peace (May 22). We as Christians, know that true peace can only
come from God through Jesus. One week later, REVIVAL comes to Ireland (May 28)!
Tonight (Tuesday June 9) sees the continuation of the Fireland conference that started on May 28. Originally planned as
a 4 day event, it is now at day 12!. \o/ And planned to run a further 2 weeks, with Mondays off.
Have you ever wondered what it must have been like at Toronto back in January 1994, when John Arnott said "lets run
this tomorrow and see what happens"? It must have been similar to that which we have been seeing at Hillsborough, Co.
Down.
Darrel Stott is here with Greg Austin and John Keating and a team from the Northwest Revival Network (formerly SRC).
Time and time again in these meetings we hear "This is God's window of opportunity for Ireland. Church, it is time to
jump through that window". The recurring theme of the meetings is FREEDOM! .. "Pull down the dividing walls, uproot the
hedges of offence!"
Every night there are approx. 50 first timers. If they all came back ... we would have to hire a tent! Every night the floor is
like a battlefield with bodies strewn everywhere as God does a deep work in their lives. There have been few physical
miracle healings, but every one is being touched in their spirits and emotions. It takes a drunk to say what a sober man
thinks. Thank God for the ministry of Darrel Stott.
Last Saturday night (June 6), the youth (those 21 & under) were brought forward and were anointed. They then did a
'Jericho' march around the seated adults, shouting "FREEDOM", breaking the hold of traditions and religious doctrines
over us. The amazing thing was that there sufficient youth to completely surround the adults. That would be about 100 of
them.
Last Sunday night (June 7), Pricilla Reid (CFC Belfast) prophesied "I see a picture of an old man lying in the dirt, a man
so old and useless. But out of this old man I see a young man emerge, as a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. A
strong, fit young man dressed in running gear carrying a torch, like the Olympic torch. And as he runs carrying this torch
throughout this land, the fire is spread to other churches and fellowships. Revival fire being spread throughout this land of
Ireland."
For further insight: read Chad Taylors "Word For Ireland" at: http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/irish.html#Word For
Ireland
This summarizes words and visions that God has been showing His church in Ireland these past 15 years. ---
It was 2 years ago when Stacy Campbell prophesied over John Keating saying "Ireland will no longer be called Ireland,
but will be known as Fireland".
Fireland is presented by the Irish Revival Network who are indebted to Pastor David Blake and the people of Hillsborough
Elim for letting them use their facility. I talked with one of the volunteer car parkers who told me that they parked 120
cars on Sunday night. They estimated that there were between 350-400 present. The sports hall can comfortably seat
600. "We can park more cars than we can squeeze folks in, we have a 30 acre field out here! We have only ever needed
to use 10 acres of it for Bible Week."
Hillsborough also host the Bible Week in July (18-24) when the Elim churches in Northern Ireland come together for
'camp meeting'. They use a large marquee to hold the meetings, which can seat 1500. In my opinion, Bible Week this
year is in danger of being in REVIVAL!!!!!
YES LORD!!! * F * R * E * E * D * O * M * !!!

Firestorms
Barbara Miron
DREAM: June 29, 1998
Huge fireballs were falling from the sky. People were calling them firestorms, and they were striking terror into
hearts. I stood in the downtown area of my community and watched fire fall from the sky and consume part of the
town to the east. I felt overwhelming fear and grief for the people who had died. I kept telling people that the only
way to survive these firestorms was to find a basement and lie down, prostrate, on the cement floor. Some people
were willing to do this, but many weren't.
Soon, there was no more time for warnings. I went to a basement where several people were lying on the floor. I
knew that others were in basements in other houses. As I lay on the floor, I couldn't see anything, but I could feel the
cold hard concrete on my body. We had to lay there for some time and wait before the fireball came. Then the
basement began to shake, and I could hear a deafening roar as the fireball passed overhead. Even though this was a
terrifying experience, those of us in basements were totally unharmed. We didn't even feel any heat.
Some time after the noise and shaking stopped, we began to get up and climb the stairs. What I saw above ground
was so horrifying. There were no buildings left, just smoking black ruins. There were many dead bodies scattered
about. People that were still alive had second and third degree burns all over their bodies. They were screaming in
agony, but there was nothing anyone could do to help them. There was no pain medication available. The hospital
and all emergency facilties were gone. There was no more community infrastructure. The firestorm had brought
utter,utter devastation.
I woke up so gripped by the fear of the Lord, yet also thankful that He is providing a refuge in the midst of the fire.
This is one of the most vivid dreams I have ever had.

The Fear of the Lord

Patty Blaisdell
The words "NO FEAR" are showing up everywhere. You cannot be in the mall or on the highway for long before those
words are glaring at you. What an accurate description of the spiritual state of America in the 1990's! These words adorn
clothing made for "dangerous sports". And indeed it is a dangerous sport to have no fear when it is the fear of the Lord.
Listen to this description of the one who has no fear of the Lord:
An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes, when he finds out his iniquity and when he hates. The words of his mouth
are deceit; he has ceased to be wise and to do good. He devises wickedness on his bed; he sets himself in a way
that is not good: he does not abhor evil. Psalm 36:1-4
In the past several months the Lord has continually put the words "NO FEAR" directly in my line of vision by way of
vehicles, T-shirts, and mall windows. As I began to study the scriptures for the meaning of the phrase "the fear of the
Lord", I realized how lacking it is.. not only in those who are far from the kingdom of God, but also in the body of Christ. I
heard a man use the cliche about not going to church because the roof might fall in. I realized he is not far from the
kingdom because he recognizes his own sinful state and has a certain degree of fear of coming into the presence of a
holy God in that state. We need a greater measure of fear of the Lord in our churches.
One of the criminals hanging on the cross next to Jesus blasphemed him, but the other criminal posed a question to the
blasphemer. This is the question that God asks us today. Do you not even fear God....? (See Luke 23:39-43) Have you
NO FEAR??
What is the fear of the Lord?
Over the past few months I have grappled with this question. I could not find a definition for the fear of the Lord in
scripture. I did discover the purpose for the fear of the Lord. And I found there are many benefits to be gained from fearing
God. I discovered many examples of men and women who feared the Lord. There are some awesome stories of the fear
of the Lord falling on nations around Israel. But there is no succinct explanation of what the phrase "fear of the Lord"
means. The Bible commentaries used terms like reverent trust that makes us want to please and obey him. They said it
does not mean to be afraid of God. Another source said "the fear of the Lord means a right state of heart towards God as
opposed to the condition of an unconverted man." But in searching out the scriptures I found places where the fear of the
Lord fell on those that did not know him or trust him. In 2 Chronicles 17:9-10 we see that the Book of the Law was taught
in the cities of Judah. And the fear of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands that were around Judah, so that they
did not make war against Jehoshaphat. Genesis 35:5 provides another example of the terror of the Lord being upon those
around Jacob. Some scriptures speak of the terror or dread of the Lord. (IS. 8:13) So while these commentaries have part
of the picture of what the phrase "fear of the Lord" means, it is not complete. It is more than reverence or trust or awe or
respect. I prayed that I might have the fear of the Lord. I expected some awesome revelation of God like Isaiah or Ezekiel
had. After several weeks the Lord spoke and said that I had the fear of the Lord. I had no emotional experience. I had no
supernatural encounter with a burning bush or an angel or smoke on the mountain. The Holy Spirit explained to me that
the fear of the Lord is not an emotion, it is a character attribute. In attempting to define and understand the fear of the
Lord, I have become very aware of the fact that I am in need of more of this attribute. I have no good definition, but a clear
understanding that it is difficult to grasp the meaning because we only have an inkling of it in these days of "love
everything gospel".
The fear of the Lord is an important character quality of Jesus Christ given by the Holy Spirit. There shall come forth a
Rod from Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of wisdom
and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord. His delight is in the
fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears; but with
righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; he shall strike the earth with the
rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips He shall slay the wicked. Is. 11:1-4 Jesus is our example . He is not
impressed by our knowledge, for He knows all things. He is not impressed by what we do, for all our works are dead
without Him. He is not impressed by what holiness we have, because our righteousness is as filthy rags and the only
holiness we have is what he has given us. He is concerned with who we are. He is impressed when we ask Him to make
us like Him.
How do we get the fear of the Lord?
First of all, it is a command. The Bible exhorts us again and again to fear the Lord God.
The Israelites needed no definition for the fear of the Lord . They had it and did it! When it thundered and lightening fell
and the mountain smoked, they feared the Lord. (Ex. 20:18-20) When they saw the Red Sea part, they feared the
Lord.(Ex.14:31) The leaders of the Old Testament like David, Joshua, Moses, and Noah all feared the Lord. In fact, in
order to be a leader of the people, you had to fear God. (Ex. 18:21)
But that was in the Old Testament. In the church age are we still to fear God? After all, we have a mediator now in Christ
Jesus. The answer is an emphatic yes. As we delve into the purpose for the fear of the Lord you will see why . Jesus
said in Matt. 10:28 that we should not fear those which kill the body, but him who is able to destroy both soul and body
in hell. (That is not speaking of the devil because we are clearly taught throughout scripture that there is only one who we
are to fear and that is God.) In Acts 2:43 it says "Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were
done through the apostles." When Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Holy Spirit and died, great fear came upon all the
church. Acts 9:31 : Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And
walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied. Many other New Testament
scriptures (2 Cor. 7:1, Eph 5:21, Heb. 12:28-29) echo the admonition given in Deuteronomy 10:12: And now, Israel, what
does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes
which I command you today for your good.
But must we wait for our Red Sea or Mt. Sinai experience in order to fear the Lord? Cornelius did not. In Acts 10 we learn
that Cornelius was a centurion of the Italian regiment. He was a Gentile. But verse two says he was :"a devout man and
one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people and prayed to God always." He
already feared God before the angel arrived to tell him to send for Peter. Cornelius' obedience resulted in the Gentiles
receiving the word of God and the Holy Spirit. Nehemiah feared God (Ne. 5:15) without having a supernatural
manifestation of the Lord or an angel before him. He boldly obeyed God in the rebuilding of the wall. His brother Hanani
also feared God and was given charge of Jerusalem by Nehemiah. (Ne. 7:2) Job provides another example of one who
feared the Lord God. Three times in the first two chapters of Job, he is described as one who fears God and shuns evil.
The Lord God himself says it twice. Satan accuses Job of fearing God because God has put a hedge around Job. Then
comes the testing of Job. It is interesting to note that after the calamity has befallen Job, he answers his "friends" with
this statement: "Will not his excellence make you afraid, and the dread of him fall upon you?"(Job 13:11) By his
comments later on in the book, we can deduce that Job never lost his fear of God. I t was after the test was completed
that God supernaturally visited Job and spoke to him from the whirlwind. Job no doubt had a greater measure of the fear
of God after that encounter!
True fear of the Lord is not taught by the precepts of men, but by the Holy Spirit. (Is.29:13) Psalm 34:11 says: Come you
children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Isaiah 33:6 says the fear of the Lord is His treasure. Jeremiah
32:39-40 says "they shall be my people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they
may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with
them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from
me." We receive the fear of the Lord from God, but we need to seek it and allow him to cultivate it in our spirits.
Remember it is not just an emotion, but a character quality. Proverbs 2:1-5: My son, if you receive my words, and
treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; Yes, if
you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for
hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. We learn to fear the Lord
from studying the Bible. Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the stranger who is within your
gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God and carefully observe all the words of this
law, and that their children, who have known it, may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God as long as you live in the
land which you cross the Jordan to possess.( Deut.31:12-13) In 2 Chronicles 17:9-10 we see that that after the places of
idol worship were destroyed the Book of the Law was taught to the people and the fear of the Lord fell on the kingdoms
around Judah so that they did not make war with the king! Knowing Him, His laws, and His mighty deeds causes us to
fear Him. In the fear of Him, we come to know Him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding. (Prov. 9:10)His character was so manifest in the lives of these people that it caused
those around them to fear their mighty God. The fear of the Lord in you will cause your enemies to flee. Remember even
the devils also believe and tremble.(James 2:19) But we should not desire the fear of the Lord just because it gives us
power over the enemy. The fear of the Lord has a greater purpose in our lives.
Why should we seek the fear of the Lord?
Natural fear or the emotion of fear plays an important role in our lives. Fear of falling keeps us from stepping off a cliff.
Fear of being burned keeps us from sticking our hands into a blazing fire. God has given us a measure of natural fear in
order to protect us from things that would harm our bodies. (However, excessive or binding fears can be fear spirits put on
us by Satan. We are not to put up with tormenting fears. 1 John 4:16-18 and 2 Tim. 1:7 )The fear of the Lord keeps us
from sins that would harm our spirits. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way and the
perverse mouth I hate. (Prov. 8:13) This does not mean to only hate the evil in the world. That is easy to do. It does not
mean to hate only the evil in our brothers and sisters in the Lord. We all do that. But it means to hate the evil, the sin, in
our own lives. In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and his children will have a place of refuge. The fear of
the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death.( Prov. 14:26-27) The ear that hears the rebukes
of life will abide among the wise. He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, but he who heeds rebuke gets
understanding. The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility. (Prov. 15:31-33) In mercy
and truth atonement is provided for iniquity; and by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil. (Prov. 16:6) Therefore,
having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in
the fear of God. (2 Cor. 7:1) If we know God not only as a gracious and merciful God, but also as a holy, righteous God
who hates sin we will fear Him. We will desire to please Him. We will know that there are consequences of disobedience.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb.10:31)We will have a fear of offending him. The fear of the
Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; he will not be visited with evil. (Prov. 19:23) Do you see
how imperative it is that we have the fear of the Lord? We will not have the sin within the body of Christ that we have
today if we ask the Lord for a double portion of the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord results in obedience. We fall into
sin when we forget that he is the Creator, the Ruler of the Universe, the Mighty God, the Beginning and the End, the
Commander-in-Chief of an awesome army of angels and saints, the Holy One who sits on the throne to judge the living
and the dead. Seek to know not only His love and mercy, but also His judgment, His wrath, His Sovereignty, and His
holiness. Jesus Christ did come as the lamb of God to give his life as a sweet sacrifice for us, but he returns as the Lion
of Judah with a sword to strike the nations and eyes as a flame of fire. (Rev.19:11-16) Do not loose sight of who you
serve and you shall fear Him. The fear of the Lord causes us to tremble in His presence and fall before Him. The fear of
the Lord also causes us to tell others about him. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men..(2 Cor.
5:10)
The rewards of fearing the Lord
Many of the verses pertaining to the fear of the Lord speak of the rewards to those who fear the Lord. The greatest reward
is a life pleasing to God and the resulting fellowship with Him. But in the multitude of promises to those who fear the
Lord, we see the importance He places on it. Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord
listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who
meditate on His name. (Malachi 3:16) The nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that
they should be judged, and that you should reward your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear your
name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth. (Rev. 11:18) Here is a partial list of rewards
specifically to those who fear the Lord:
acceptance by Him Acts 10:35

His mercy Luke 1:50
trample the wicked and
healing Malachi 4:2
enlarged heart Isaiah 60:5
it shall be well with them Ec. 8:12
praise Pr. 31:30
happiness Pr. 28:14
riches, honor, life Pr. 22:4
prolonged days Pr.10:27
the pleasure of the Lord Ps. 147:11
fulfilled desires Ps. 145:19
blessing Ps. 128:1,4 and Ps. 112:1
food Ps. 111:5
salvation is near Ps. 85:9
a banner Ps. 60:4
the angel of the Lord encamps around Ps.34:7
no want Ps 34:9
eye of the Lord upon you Ps.33:18

goodness Ps. 31:19
soul shall dwell at ease and
seed shall inherit the earth and
secret of the Lord is with you Ps. 25:12-14
Future Fear of the Lord
The Bible predicts a time when the nations shall fear God as he rises to shake the earth. (Is. 2:10, 19-21, Mic. 7:16-17) It
also says that the Jewish people will fear the Lord again. (Jer. 32:39-40 Hos. 3:5) At the end of the ages, before the final
harvest and the final outpouring of wrath, God will send an angel with His last plea for men to fear Him. Then I saw
another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth---to
every nation, tribe, tongue, and people--saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him who made heaven and
earth, the sea and springs of water." (Rev. 14:7) Do you desire the fear of the Lord? Ask Him for it. Study the Bible. Seek
to know the awesome aspects of his character. Discover His heart against sin. Be among those singing the song of
Moses and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are
your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. For all
nations shall come and worship before you, for your judgments have been manifested." (Rev. 15:3-4)
Be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. Proverbs 23:17
Glory and honor to Jesus Christ!
Patty Blaisdell
Authors note: This article was first written in September of 1994. I believe we are now in 1998 nearer to the
season of the fear of the Lord . I believe it will play a vital role in the in the last days and revival as God reveals
himself more and more to us.

Fellowship of the Unashamed

Author Unknown
The following lines were penned by a young pastor in Africa and tacked to a wall in his house. Could
you have written these words?
My Commitment as a Christian I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made.
I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ.
I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure.
I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams,
tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.
I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.
I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions
few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.
I cannot be bought, deluded, or delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table
of the enemy, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for
the cause of Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He
stops me.
And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me--my banner will be clear!

From The Mouth Of Babes

Misty Franz
This is a message the Lord gave my daughter, word for word, while she was in prayer one day, a little over a year ago.
She also experienced the Lord trying to shake His church to wake it up as if she were sleeping in a bed. I have hesitated
to release it until now because it is so straight forward. But I think this is a good time. If a 17 year old can receive this,
then we, as adults should be able to listen and heed this word also. (Note: Misty graduated from high school in June and
will continue her studies at the local community college, finishing her A. A. in the winter and then go on to attend a local
Bible college. She is a leader in her youth group, sings in church choir and also participates in the community college
Bible group.) Karen Snyder
"You have given me great wrath. You have poured out your hearts to me yet you listen not. I have desired to
tell you my heart but where is a willing ear? You have shown yourselves to me, but when is my chance?
When will my people be willing to close their mouths and open their ear? I have cried out to my people but no
one will listen, everyone is too busy seeking after their own needs. Please, my people consider your selfish
prayer. People it is time to listen to my heart, what I have to say. I gave you your time now it's mine. People I
say once again it is no longer your time it's mine. Be willing to shut your foolish mouths and open your heart
and ears to my cry. I need to talk. You have given me great wrath. You have poured out your hearts to me
yet you listen not. I have desired to tell you my heart but where is a willing ear? You have shown yourselves
to me, but when is my chance? When will my people be willing to close their mouths and open their ear? I
have cried out to my people but no one will listen, everyone is too busy seeking after their own needs.
Please, my people consider your selfish prayer. People it is time to listen to my heart, what I have to say. I
gave you your time now it's mine. People I say once again it is no longer your time it's mine. Be willing to
shut your foolish mouths and open your heart and ears to my cry. I need you too. My will would be done if
people would just listen.
People, I love to fulfill your needs and desires but I would like mine fulfilled too. Please wake up oh you tired,
sleeping nation, the time here is coming close to come for my bride. My desire is to take every single
person, but that cannot be fulfilled unless my people wake up, listen up and take heed to the call I have given
them. I am no longer asking you to wake up, I am commanding you. WAKE UP! DON'T JUST STAND
THERE! DO SOMETHING! Make use of your life I have given you. Come out of your lazy selfish ways. I put
you on earth for much more than that. Let me use you. I am crying out to you to let me use you. My yoke is
easy and my burden is light if you will just reach out your hand to me and take that first step, I will do the
rest. Have faith, isn't it I who made you? I made you to work for me not for yourselves.
What is the purpose of our lives, to live in sin and pleasure, to live a life of fun and leisure? NO!!! I MADE
YOU ! TO WORK FOR ME!! NOT YOURSELVES! You are MINE! You are supposed to work for ME! I feed
you, I cloth you and what for? For my good, so I can use you. But do you listen, do you give recognition of
the one who made you and provides everything for you? It doesn't matter how hard you work in the world. It
doesn't matter how much money you make because it is all mine. You think it is your profit, no it is mine, it
is all mine. Humble yourselves for I will bring judgment and those who are not humbled will fall into the hands
of the enemy. They will cry out to me but I will not listen. They have made me angry with their selfish and
unrighteous ways. Take heed to this message, for if you ignore it, I will punish you, Oh ye of little faith. Take
heed to my call and I will reward you, ignore it and you will be punished. Be sensitive to my voice."
"Hear me my people. Who are you serving today? It is time to choose. Haven't I given you everything your
heart desires? What more do you want? I want my people to step out. I want my people to witness like
tomorrow will never come. Hear me my people. Whom will you serve today? Your job, school, your TV.?
Those will come to an end, I won't, I am everlasting.
I know my people are tired, tired and wounded from the devil's snares (traps, schemes) , but I am gently
waking the wounded. I care for the wounded. I care for the dying in Spirit, but I have come to heal you, to
minister to you. Wake up with my promise of healing and proclaim it to the world. Don't forget what I have
promised, but believe it and proclaim it. Come ye, my little sheep (babies), wake up I say, go out and tell
what you know with excitement and energy. I have waited for my people to minister like this, like never
before.
The time is coming when I will fill my people with my presence and they will jump out of bed proclaiming their
praise. They will minister in a new way. They will have so much excitement because of my presence in them
that it will draw all men unto me. My children do this for me. Pretend it is Father's Day today and you want to
do everything that will please me."

Fanning Revival Flames

Cory Bakker.
In the latter part of 1992 the Lord gave me this picture.... I could see a huge concrete slab, and I watched it as it split in
half. I knew immediately that there would be a huge division in what was known In the World as "Christianity." I then saw
what was a very deep river running through the middle where the concrete slab divided, and many people, nations, tribes
and tongues began to manifest from out of both slabs, literally fighting to get near the river. There were those who tried to
hold others back, but multitudes were finding there way into the river between the "Great Divide".
This is the Word of The Lord :
Many of my people will be experiencing a shaking, a breaking and the hardness of their hearts will be
revealed as the thickness of the stone is exposed. I have hungered and longed for my people to seek my
face says the Father of all Creation. My heart is yearning for an intimacy with my children. These are mine
and I am calling them to receive my love. Many will not want to. Many will stay on the shores of hardness. I
weep for those. I will be faithful to those who seek the water of My Holy Spirit. I will be doing a healing in my
people like never known before. I will draw my people to seek my face, to seek their first love, and when they
seek me, they will find me. There will be a time in this generation when love will again abound in the family of
the House of My Son.
When my people are in me, they will respond by reaching out to their neighbors and fulfilling the law that I
established by My Spirit. Yes even the law of love. I am going to prepare my people for a great harvest, even
a great awakening in these final days. Many will become discouraged, loosing hope, and loosing faith. But
when my people press in, when my people give me their sin and their pain at that time they will experience
my transforming life in them, and My child, hear me! They will be changed. They will run to me from all
corners of the earth. They will hunger and thirst for me. They will want nothing more than to know The Love of
their Father and the intimacy of their Bridegroom.
I will bring to the surface much filth. I will cause it by my fire to be burned away. But many will be like stew in
the pot when the heat is turned on high. And all the sin and hatred will rise to the surface for many to see.
But don't be disturbed by this. I am telling you to pray for them. Love them. This will be the high place and
many will see it. But have I not said to the man who lifts himself up that I shall bring him low. So know my
child, that when it seems there is no end to sin, that the days are too dark to stand, it is then that you will
have actually gone into the depths. I will tear down those high places. As my faithful ones seek shelter under
the Shadow of my Wings, and in the depths of my love and grace, I will keep them safe. I am putting an end
to fighting within your own ranks. Do not judge these things, do not judge men, do not judge my child. No,
instead love, and bless. Even those who you call religious, I say do not judge. You will have no choice but to
trust me in this coming hour. If you try to understand all that I am doing you will fall. Do not judge, those who
judge will be lawbreakers and I desire you that you remain in my grace. These coming days, you will see my
Glory, you will know the Son, and He will dwell in you and be glorified through you. Every one who desires to
lay down their lives for the sake of knowing me, will be changed and transformed and will be the vehicles in
which My Son receives His ultimate Glory. AMEN
In 1993 there was news of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit referred as "The Toronto Blessing". I live very close to Toronto,
so I was made aware of what was happening there (laughing, shaking, barking, roaring etc.) within 2 weeks of it taking
place. Well I needed to rush down there, I wanted to see what the Lord was doing, and most of all I wanted all that He
was giving out.
Upon my first visit I tried to stay as open as possible. But the truth is I was very skeptical. Pride rose up in me
IMMEDIATELY, as I thought to myself; if this really was God, I think He would make me aware of what He was doing.
After all He speaks to me, He loves me, and why would He do something so extreme without letting me know?" ( what a
silly thing I was)
Well I didn't experience anything that night that would prove to me that this was a move of God. In fact after my fourth or
fifth visit, I was convinced that it was not, and I was as angry as ever at the people who participated, the people that
promoted it, and I was determined to prove through the written word of God that I was right!
I sought the Lord diligently, I was confused to the point of depression, and I felt that all I had with the Lord was being
snatched away. Even my friends and elders in the Lord were completely immersed in what was happening in Toronto.
Everybody was changing, my world was changing.
1993 was a very difficult year for me, and into 1994 God began to crush me as I sought Him for His will, His truth, and
most of all His acceptance. I came to the conclusion that none of it mattered, I knew that Jesus Christ saved me, and
that He was Sovereign. I needed His peace, I needed His love. I began to pray into EVERY thought that would draw me
away from His peace. I prayed like this: "Father, I don't understand any of this, but you know what's going on. I give this
over to You, it's not mine to be concerned. I let go of wanting control in this area."
I prayed like this when people would manifest, when people would laugh uncontrollably, when I felt myself becoming
bitter, when I would judge or criticize. Put it this way - I ATE THIS PRAYER!
In the spring of 1996 I had a desire to read the book "Catch The Fire" by Guy Chevreaux. I had not yet read the book, and
by this time I was comfortable enough to go to Toronto, enjoy the worship, enjoy the fellowship and even receive ministry.
Nothing weird ever happened to me. I wouldn't get slain, laugh or jerk, but by faith I received, knowing that God was doing
a work in me. I trusted Him.
As I read the prophetic word that Marc Dupont had received in 1992 as recorded in the book, something happened. The
Holy Spirit quickened me to the picture He had given me regarding the concrete slabs. As I took in the Revelation the
Lord was giving me, I KNEW that I had sinned against God. I fell on my knees in repentance, such as I had not done
since I was saved. I repented first of my pride, then my rebellion, the bitterness and anger, the criticism. It was awful. I
felt so low. I stood in awe with the fear of God filling my bones. I knew exactly where I had been in that picture. I was
holding others back from the water of His Spirit; I was looking at His River with proud arrogant eyes. But that day it was
like a bucket of grace was poured upon me. I knew the Lord forgave me, and I also knew that He was going to use my
earlier resistance as a part of the very move that was taking place on the earth. I began to see that I was going to be a
part of what God was doing, and that it wouldn't at all be my doing but would be through His grace and the power of His
love in me!
Since that day I have been growing steadily and quickly in the knowledge of God and His love for His church. He shares
His secrets with me, and releases me to share those secrets in His timing. I still haven't been slain at Toronto or jerk or
shake, but I love to worship the Lord and receive ministry through the loving hands of His people there. I did receive the
Holy Laughter once, oh it was so much fun! . I know that not all physical manifestations are the Holy Spirit, but the larger
manifestation of God that is invisible, IS the Holy Spirit and He is in our midst and IN CONTROL more then many of us
realize.. His love is like a fountain that fills me up!
If you are reading this today, and you can identify with my experience,. Please! Lean not on your own understanding, but
trust God with all your heart. Seek Him in prayer and pour your heart out to Him. Tell Him how you feel, and for the sake
of the Kingdom of God be willing to be wrong. I was sooo wrong! God loves you so much, it's not too late to jump into the
river. It is so warm and beautiful. Love abounds for all here, we just need to drink it in. If you have not love, you have
nothing! Tell the Father you are willing to walk by grace and grace alone, and die to your self and it's strengths. Can you
trust Him?
If you are reading this and you are in the river….well…

KEEP ON SWIMMIN, and take this ~~~~~~<<<<SPLASH>>>>>.

Frogs Eye view of Coming Tribulation

Roy Gillette
Time after time Jesus instructed His disciples in reference to the last days. He said for them (and us) to be ready, to
watch therefor, to not run out of oil before the bridegroom arrives, to be faithful with the talents and resources with which
God has entrusted us, to be gracious to our "servants" and not take advantage of them, and to be kind to strangers who
might turn out to be the Lord Jesus Himself.
Though these warnings and instructions seem to fit Christians of every age, we prophecy students want to know what
prophetic event boxes we should put them into, for instance how the bridegroom story might relate to the rapture and the
prophetic sequence. Then we would also like to know how to tell when antichrist begins his rule, so that we can calculate
3 1/2 years from that time.
But wasn’t Jesus talking mainly about the lack of quality in our spiritual life? I fear that sometimes we get too interested
in the trees to see the forest. We do want to have the correct interpretation and prophetic view, each one of us. But what
about those warnings? Do they only apply to Christians who will be alive when the prophetic clock of 7 years starts
ticking again? Or would they apply just as much to American Christians before the prophetic clock starts, should we
suffer severe persecution similar to what Christians have in China?
Perhaps you have heard about the frog in the university laboratory flask. Students and instructor began with the water at
room temperature, then gradually raised it. The frog said to himself, "It was nice of those people to warm up my water. It
begins to feel like the sun on a nice day that relaxes all my muscles. I could jump out, but I think I’ll just stay here for
awhile." So he adapted to the hotter water. Later the frog said to himself, "I really need to leave. This water is getting too
hot and I do not like it anymore. But now there is something wrong with my muscles. I cannot seem to flex them. Even
my panic reflex is not working. I should care, but I cannot even seem to care. I’m tired. I’m . . drifting off to sleep."
So ended the frog, through an experiment where the university had outwitted him by planning such a gradual change in
his environment. Now consider the possibility that you and I in the US are all frogs in a much grander experiment, where
planners of massive changes in our government are watching us. They assume that already our "goose is cooked",
counting it to be only a matter of time until we are under their control, a fact of which we are totally unaware. It still
seems so warm and comfortable here. Surely this is not the time to become alarmed, to change our direction and our
priorities. Surely not yet. We hear repeated stories of a conspiracy, and of a brutal government takeover that is coming,
but why worry? We can think about it and decide later-- only when we have positive "proof" that we are being taken
captive by those whom some suppose to be our enemies.
Besides using our frog example, we could also take a lesson from the Old Testament prophets. When God sent each of
them to provide a warning to wicked people who were about to be destroyed, did people listen? As a rule, no. The only
prophet bearing warnings that I know of who was successful was Jonah. When Jonah preached, the great city of Nineveh
repented in dust and ashes. They threw themselves on the mercy of God, and God heard them. When each of the other
prophets preached, their warnings fell on deaf ears, and so destruction came.
It is a kind of spiritual hearing problem. Jesus told each of the seven churches in Revelation that they needed to have
ears that would hear.
Our two grandsons each play a game with wife Ruth and myself called, "Think I will go to church this Sunday." We say,
"Fine, we’ll pick you up at 9:15", and they agree. Then Saturday night or Sunday comes around and the phone rings with
something like, "Grampa, I can’t go to church because Neil has invited me over to his house." We are beginning to catch
on that there is no real attraction for them at church, unless it happens to be potluck Sunday. That is sad, and we pray
for their priorities to change. But how about you and me? Is our God-relationship primarily just an interesting pursuit, or is
it truly a matter of life and death?
I should hasten to explain that I do not suggest taking up arms to try and prevent the loss of our free country. The US
takeover scenario once it begins, as I understand it, includes immediate action against people who own guns. Even
Jesus told Peter to put away his sword. Christ was about to conquer all forces of evil through the giving of His life on the
cross. Later on, Peter understood more about the spiritual battle he was in. At Pentecost he became God’s tool to take
many souls away from the enemy, bringing them to Christ. At Caesar Nero’s arena in Rome, according to tradition, Peter
willingly gave his life as a martyr, a seed falling into the ground that could bear much fruit.
Faced with the possibility of martyrdom in connection with a government takeover, you and I may be asked to prove that
we truly are disciples of Christ and not just imitations. It is time to get spiritually ready, whatever that means to you and
me. We will need to be of a different sort than people around us, when men’s hearts are failing them for fear. Many will
prove to be cowards. Our battle strategy is to shine as lights in this dark world, even though that same world may decide
to do away with us, just as they did away with our Lord.
Being successful as a martyr should not be difficult. It is primarily a matter of attitude. We begin by making a careful
comparison of our values and then deciding that above all, we are Christ’s. We choose to believe "if Jesus Christ be God
and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him." God then takes it from there; He develops us
into people called overcomers! Listen to how Jesus described this process in Mark 8:34-35 (NKJ):
When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to
come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it."
Best to you friends, in our Lord Christ,

Be Fully Mine
Katie Jordan
January 7, 1998
My children, how I love you! How saddened I am when My own people do not want to hear My voice. I call you. I call to
each and everyone of you in your daily lives, but so few will listen. Beloved, READ MY WORD. Have I not always warned
My people when they began to take a wrong path? Have I not always warned My people when trouble was coming?
What can I do for you that I have not already done? You are My vineyard, and I have pruned it when necessary. Now,
should I not expect good fruit to be produced? You have been told to judge others by their fruit; now I ask you to judge
your own fruit. Are you truly producing the many-fold good fruit that I expect of you? Or have you become so entangled in
the things of the world that you forgot all about the fruit?
Are you truly MY PECULIAR PEOPLE SET APART? You have come to the point in history when you must come aside
with Me, for if you do not do so of your own free will SOON THE WORLD WILL SEPARATE YOU. If you allow the worldly
government to decide for you, you may be very unhappy about their decision and where they assign a place for you.
VERY SOON YOU WILL SEE THAT YOU MUST BE FULLY MINE OR NOT MINE AT ALL.
Remember that I have long ago told you that there is no gray area. It is truly black or white. WILL YOU WALK WITH ME
IN WHITE? THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT THIS, MY BELOVED PEOPLE. THE ENEMY STRONGLY DESIRES TO PUT
YOU IN HIS BLACK ROBES, BUT IT IS MY DESIRE FOR YOU TO WALK WITH ME IN WHITE.

The Fresh Wind of Holiness

A word given to Bobby Conner
There will come a fresh wind blowing across the Body of Christ in America, we are about to learn that "holiness" is not a
dirty word. This movement to true holiness will be accomplished by the Spirit of holiness. Rom. 1:4. The Church is about
to be introduced to the "Holy" Spirit in a new and fresh way. The fire of God's presence will burn away the chaff and purify
the Saints. This fire will not grow dim but will blase from coast to coast.

Revival In Greensboro
Terry Lineberry
In an unlikely church on the edge of the city, God has birthed what we believe to be a major revival. At Rehobeth
Christian Assembly in Greensboro, NC, for the last five Sundays, God has been taking over the services during the praise
& worship. People have been running to the altar, crying out to God, falling out in the Spirit, healings, deliverance,
baptisms, etc. I have only preached one time in 5 Sundays.
On Thursday night, April 2, a 13 Baptist girl received the Holy Spirit in one of our youth home meetings. She was so shy
prior to this she would hardly look up in church. On Sunday April 5th during another powerful manifestation of God's
presence, this young girl started laying hands on everyone in the congregation. As she did, each one went down or out in
the Spirit.
On Easter Sunday, prophet Bill Alsop showed up at church and said God told him to come to Rehobeth. As this 13 year
old girl walked by him, he sensed the awesome power of God all over her. When she reached her pew and sit down, she
started trembling all over. Boom, the power of God was unleashed on the congregation like Pentecost before we could
open the service. The Holy Ghost came in and arrested the people. The manifestations lasted til late Sunday night.
A revival has started nightly and we believe the power of God is going to shake the city. There have been visions of
flames licking across the sanctuary floor, water falls flowing from the ceiling, demonic spirits cast out, healings,
salvations, deliverance from alcohol, ministry confirmations and various emotional healings. In my 20 years of pentecostal
ministry, I have never seen anything or experienced the power of God like this. Pray for us and believe God for your fresh
anointing in the Supernatural.

Growing Closer To God

Through Repentance
Nita Johnson
[This article is reprinted form Prophetic Insight and Family Focus Issue 14, the Newsletter of World for
Jesus Ministries, Inc. MSC #402, 497 N. Clovis Ave, Clovis CA 93611-0373]
Many are the avenues through which we can grow closer to God. As the believer continues to seek the
Lord, He will bring the diligent seeker into fellowship with Himself through many of these different
ways. He does this to allow us to know Him in many of His wonderful faces and facets. However,
among those many and varied avenues, one of the more important is repentance. For that reason we
are going to share on that vital subject in this writing.
The Lord spoke to us saying: "For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose
name is Holy, I dwell in a high and holy place, with him also that is of a con, trite and humble spirit.
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite one". Is 57:15
In revealing this mystery to His people He gave us great hope' for if we desire to dwell with Him in
deep intimacy, we have now discovered a way to see our hearts longing fulfilled. We can humble
ourselves, invite Him to convict us of our sins and experience a godly sorrow which opens the door to
freedom from the bondage of even the deepest rooted sins, and in repentance be freed, thus allowing
us deeper intimacy with Jesus. Worship. is important, as is a Word life. Obedience is also a pre
requisite to a closer relationship, as is a life of prayer. We cannot know Jesus in a greater way with
out all of the above. Yet, one of the most important facets of experiencing Jesus is little talked about,
that is the life of repentance. One man called a life of contrition, a life of repentance worship. And I
agree with him. I have walked with Jesus for nearly twenty years and during most of that time, as I have
asked Him to lead me into deeper levels of repentance. He has always, much to my chagrin at times,
found something to deal with in this manner. Of course, once the dealing is under way, His wonderful
presence fills the air as well as my heart and I am delighted as I once again enter this divine chamber
of spiritual worship.
So, how do we go about the art of repentance? I 1 Corinthians 7:10 & 11 answers that question for us.
First we must ask for godly sorrow over our sins. How will we recognize it when it comes? According
to vs. 1 we will feel God's sorrow over our sins. We will also feel His love for our souls. This
experience will lift us up to see our sin and our souls from His perspective. We will feel such a careful
love and protection for our soul, that we will come to hate the sin that once bound us. Further, we will
feel how our sin has wounded Him. That will bring great pain. But not, condemnation. It will stir in us an
indignation toward the sin, even a revenge toward the sin, and final ly, we will judge our sin and
demand that it be removed from our hearts. From that point on, the Christian will never simply tolerate
that sin again. They will repent, which means to turn away from it, having gained God's view point of its
wretchedness.
By this means we open a path for the Lord to enlarge us in Himself, and in communion. Further, by this
method we are freed from long standing strong holds in our life.
In my new book,, "Overcoming Life Through Prayer" I share how while in a time of repentance Jesus
appeared to me on the cross. Each time I repented
of something of which I was being convicted, I would see this stream of grace flow from Him and enter
into me releasing a soothing balm over my whole soul. I knew that the grace was given to grant me full
deliverance from that particular sin. So, you see that when we enter into this form of contrition, it
becomes a source of communion. Further, it opens up new channels of fellowship, both with Him and
with others.
Each time Jesus takes me into a season of repentance, He always follows it by giving me more of
Himself in relationship, and in fellowship. As I look back over my life in Him, I am so thankful that He
has allowed me this privilege of being set free from my enemy and elevated into increasingly new and
wonderful level of relationship with Him.
Your Friend,
Nita Johnson

Gethsemane
Jeff Treder
One primary Biblical metaphor for God is "the Rock," expressed mainly by the Hebrew word tsur,
meaning "a cliff, a sharp rock, a rock of refuge." The Greek equivalents are petra, a rock, and lithos, a
stone. Tsur has a feminine form, tsuwrah, which means "something formed by being pressed out, as
by a rock." I want to emphasize this definition, "something formed by being pressed out, as by a rock,"
because it is the basis of most of what follows. The concept here is of a rock used as a stamp to
impress its form on some other material.
This word, tsuwrah, occurs four times in Ezekiel 43:11 and nowhere else in Scripture; this fact alone
gives it a sort of curiosity status. Its context is an extremely important one, where Ezekiel is describing
his vision of the future temple of God, which in 43:7 God describes as "the place of My throne and the
place for the soles of My feet. This is where I will live among the Israelites forever." The Lord goes on
to instruct Ezekiel to describe the temple to the Israelites, and if they then are ashamed of all their
sinful ways, he is to "show them the form of the house [temple], and the fashion thereof, and the goings
out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and
all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof, and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole
form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them." (43:11 KJV, )
If God might reasonably be charged with being repetitious here, His reason seems to be that He
wants to make sure the point is hammered home. From the root meaning of tsuwrah, we can say that
the form of the temple is impressed on the temple by the Rock, God Himself. And this form, with all the
laws and ordinances that go with it, is something God takes very seriously.
Now then, what exactly is this visionary temple, and when will it be built? In which temple is the King's
throne going to rest, where He will dwell with His people forever? I believe that Scripture gives a clear
answer. Paul instructs the believers at Corinth: "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple
and that God's Spirit dwells in you?" (1Cor.3:16) Peter likewise writes that "you also, like living
stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1Peter 2:5) Again, from Hebrews: "But Christ is faithful as
a son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which
we boast." (Heb.3:6) And again from Paul, if a clincher is needed: the believers are "members of
God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as
the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple
in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by
His Spirit." (Eph.2:19-22)
Under the New Covenant, "the Most High does not live in houses made by men." (Acts 7:48) Paul
taught the same thing in Athens: "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of
heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands." (Acts 17:24) In the past, under the Old
Covenant, He lived in a man-made temple, but no longer, never again. The New Covenant temple is
His dwelling place forever, a fact which exalts us, His unworthy servants, infinitely beyond our
deserving.
The people of God who are being built into a holy temple include both Jews and Gentiles, people
"from every tribe and language and people and nation." (Rev.5:9) Some have taught that the Jews
have a separate destiny from Gentile Christians in the purpose of God, but I believe this is a doctrine
not derived from Scripture but foisted onto it. The book of Hebrews teaches emphatically that the New
Covenant has abolished and replaced the Old (see especially 8:13 and 10:9). The believing Gentiles
have been grafted into the olive tree (Israel) in the New Covenant, and when the Jews repent and
receive their Messiah Jesus, they will be grafted back into the same tree (Rom.11:11-24). God
designed the New Covenant so that the Old Testament faithful would be saved and perfected not
apart from the body of Christ but together with us (Heb.11:40). There is only one Tree of Life (Jesus),
one Deliverer for Jew and Gentile alike (Jesus, see Rom.11:26), one way of salvation (Jesus). As the
eminent Bible scholar George Eldon Ladd has written:
The work of God's Spirit in the formation of the Church and the future divine visitation of Israel by
which the natural branches are regrafted into the olive tree ought not to be seen as two separate and
unrelated purposes but as two stages of the single redemptive purpose of God through His Kingdom.
There is a single olive tree, and there is one Kingdom of God.* [The Gospel of the Kingdom,
Eerdmans, 1992, p.120]
With that established, I hope, we can return to Ezekiel 43. God, the Rock, presses out the form of the
New Covenant temple, which is (in another metaphor) the bride of Christ; remember that tsuwrah is
the feminine form of tsur, rock. We are the bride, and Christ Himself is being formed in us: "My dear
children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you . . . ." (Gal.4:19)
Another word derived from tsur is tsiyr, which has several meanings, including (1) a hinge, which is
pressed both in being molded and in bearing the door's weight; (2) a severe pain, from physical or
mental pressure, and particularly the pangs of childbirth; (3) a messenger or ambassador, who is
constrained by his master's orders. "A faithful ambassador [tsiyr] brings health" (Prov.13:17 NKJV);
"Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger [tsiyr] to those who send him."
(Prov.25:13) All of these meanings are relevant in what follows.
Jesus, the living Word (John 1:1,14), is God's ultimate Messenger or Ambassador. "'See, I will send
My messenger [John the Baptist; see Matt.11:10], who will prepare the way before Me. Then suddenly
the Lord you are seeking will come to His temple; the Messenger of the covenant, whom you desire,
will come,' says the Lord Almighty." (Mal.3:1) In all His ministry, Jesus was pressed and took His form
from the Rock. He did nothing and spoke nothing on His own, but only what His Father gave Him to do
and speak (see John 5:19,30, 8:28, 12:49, 14:10). He learned obedience (not that He was ever
disobedient, but prior to His incarnation He never had the experience of obeying His Father as a
human beset by all the temptations we face to disobey) and was completely prepared to be the Sin
Bearer through what He suffered (Heb.2:10, 5:8-9).
At one point in His ministry Jesus cried out, "But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I
am until it is completed!" (Luke 12:50) "Distressed" here is sunecho, meaning "pressed in,
compelled, constrained, afflicted." He laid aside His infinite glory and squeezed His majesty into the
form of a man (Php.2:6-8) in order to accomplish the divine purpose of human salvation (see John
12:27, Eph.3:11, 1John 3:8), and He felt the pressure of that purpose until it was achieved, at
Gethsemane and Calvary.
"Gethsemane" comes from two Hebrew words, gath, meaning a press for grapes or olives, and
shemen, meaning oil, anointing, richness. It was not by accident that Jesus went to a place where
olive oil was pressed out in order to undergo the ultimate pressing out of His own soul.
The experience began with a profound shaking. As He began to pray, "He began to be deeply
distressed and troubled." (Mark 14:33) This time "distressed" is ekthambeo, which actually means
astonished, astounded, even terrified. Our Lord was not a physical coward; therefore what astounded
and terrified Him, even though He had long known it was His mission, can only have been the
unimaginable agony of bearing the totality of our sin and its condemnation: the experience of vile,
vicious moral pollution in His innermost being, utter rejection by His Father and complete alienation
from the wondrous love which for all eternity had never even wavered.
Then He said, "My soul [psuche] is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death." (Mark 14:34)
Psuche is our soul-life or self-life, our self-awareness, "me" as a separate being. Jesus' soul was
sinless but still, like ours, a self-life; it was the inward part of the humanity He took on in Mary's womb.
His psuche was what He gave as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45); it is what He laid down for His
sheep (John 10:11-18). He laid it down in order to take it up again (John 10:17-18), but what He took
up again was not psuche but zoe: resurrection life, eternal life (see John 1:4, 3:16,36, 5:26,40,
6:47,48,63, etc.). John 12:25 clearly expresses the relationship between psuche and zoe: "The man
who loves his life [psuche] will lose it, while the man who hates his life [psuche] in this world will keep it
for eternal life [zoe]."
"And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the
ground." (Luke 22:44) We are told in Leviticus that "the life of a creature is in the blood," (17:11)
where "life" is the Hebrew nephesh, equivalent to Greek psuche. Thus was Jesus crushed in
Gethsemane until His self-life was entirely pressed out of Him and the anointing oil (shemen, typifying
the Holy Spirit) released. Only thus was He able to say without reservation, "Not my will [my self-will]
but Yours be done." The earthen vessel, whether a noble one of alabaster (Christ) or a common clay
one (us), must be broken before the anointing perfume can come forth.
That is what it took for the Messenger of the covenant to fulfill God's covenant purpose. That, and
Calvary.
What is in this for us as His followers?
At one point the apostle Paul asked for prayer "so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the
gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains." (Eph.6:19-20) In 2Cor.5:14-21 Paul explains what it
means to be an ambassador for Christ. Writing as one who is himself a foremost messenger or
ambassador of the gospel, he states that "Christ's love compels us," where "compels" is sunecho as
in Luke 12:50. Just as Jesus was pressured by His redemptive mission, so those who represent Him
are pressured and compelled by that same mission.
Paul continues, ". . . we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all,
that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised
again." (v.14-15) Just as Jesus had His self-life pressed out of Him in Gethsemane, so His
ambassadors must have their self-life pressed out so that the zoe life of Jesus can be revealed in
them (see Rom.14:7-8, Gal.1:16, 2:19-20, Col.3:1-4). No doubt the best thing is for us to surrender
our self-life voluntarily; since this often proves to be too challenging for us, though, the Lord brings the
pressure of His loving discipline to squeeze it out of us. This is for our benefit, because insofar as our
thoughts, words, and actions express our self-life, Jesus cannot be revealed in us. I represent Him, or I
represent me. Whoever does not gather with Him, scatters (Matt.12:30).
"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view." (v.16) Christ's ambassador has a
new way of seeing: by faith and the light of God's word and the illumination of the Spirit, not by human
wisdom and reasoning. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2Cor.5:7, emphasis added)
His ambassadors have the ministry of reconciliation (v.18-20). Not every Christian is an ambassador
in this sense; indeed, in these verses it is Christians whom Paul is urging to be reconciled to God.
Christ's ambassador has been pressed and formed to the point where he or she is able to serve as a
hinge (tsiyr) which bears the weight and movement of the Door (John 10:9) without squeaking or
breaking. The Greek word for ambassador is presbeuo, meaning "one who is senior (in age, maturity,
experience), a representative." A newborn or immature Christian certainly can and should testify to his
or her experience of Christ, but the forming of an ambassador, one who hears His voice, speaks His
words, represents Him faithfully, takes time, tribulation, suffering, patience, and testing.
We know this is so because Scripture tells us. God has been forming His children from the womb
(see Ps.139:13, Isa.44:2,24, Gal.1:15). He is the potter and we are the clay that He forms (Isa.29:16,
Rom.9:20). The process begun in the womb reaches our spirit at regeneration and extends throughout
our lifetime. "My dear children," Paul writes, "for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ
is formed in you . . . ." (Gal.4:19)
Not long after Paul was stoned to death (or almost) at Lystra and miraculously healed, he was going
about that region "strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and
saying, 'We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.'" (Acts 14:22 NKJV, emphasis
added) The process of becoming an ambassador for Christ is the process of discipleship. Jesus
Himself laid down the basic "musts" for being His disciple. In Luke 14:25-33 we learn that His disciple
must "hate" his nearest and dearest, that is, love and obey Jesus first above all. He must hate his own
life (psuche). He must bear his cross, meaning not so much the pains and frustrations of life, but the
attitude that my life is already forfeited to Jesus to do with as He will (see Rom.14:8, 1Cor.6:19-20).
The disciple must count the cost of this commitment and hand over to Jesus the title to all his
possessions in this world. These things must be done, lived out, not just affirmed as correct doctrine.
Jesus was always hard on hypocrites.
If this begins to sound uncomfortably similar to the demands many cults place on their members, keep
in mind that Jesus is the one and only Leader who can be completely trusted with the governance of
your life and mine. All the others will exploit and ravage you, but Jesus will cherish and nourish and
fulfill and perfect you. What a difference!
When Paul said that we enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations (Acts 14:22), the word he
used is thlipsis, meaning "pressure, tribulation, affliction." He taught the Thessalonians that Christ's
disciples are appointed and destined to suffer such tribulation (1Thess.3:2-5), it is no accident or
aberration, nor is it merely a work of the devil. Jesus assured His disciples in a key verse: "In the
world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 NKJV)
We will get bruised and bloodied in the battle, emotionally and spiritually if not physically, but we get to
fight on the winning side.
A disciple must be patient in tribulation (Rom.12:12), and indeed tribulation produces patience in the
person fully submitted to God (Rom.5:3, James 1:3). "Patience" is hupomone, meaning "cheerful
endurance and constancy", as opposed to "gloomy endurance constantly." Paul commended the
Thessalonian believers for "your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you
endure." (2Thess.1:4 NKJV) And God "comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to
comfort those who are in any trouble . . . ." (2Cor.1:4 NKJV)
Even beyond comfort there is rejoicing in tribulation, rejoicing in the knowledge that God is using it to
accomplish His purpose in us (forming Christ in us) and through us. Paul told the Corinthians, "I am
filled with comfort. I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation." (2Cor.7:4 NKJV) James agrees:
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the
testing of your faith develops perseverance [hupomone]. Perseverence must finish its work so that you
may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." (James 1:2-4)
This matter of rejoicing amid tribulation is one of those things that can't really be understood
theoretically. When you've experienced it as a disciple of Jesus, even a first taste of it, then you
understand. But until then, it remains a dubious and troublesome doctrine. Remember the third
meaning of tsiyr: a severe pain such as the pangs of childbirth. One aspect of tribulation for the
gospel's sake is that we are undergoing labor pains as the Lord brings forth new life within us and
through us. Although the labor is painful, the whole process, from conception to birth and afterward, is
full of joy. Sometimes, however, it's only during the "afterward" that we realize this truth.
Jesus is "the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." (Heb.1:3)
"Representation" is charakter, meaning the figure stamped in an engraving. Just so is the character of
Jesus stamped into His ambassadors. No wonder tribulation cannot separate us from His love
(Rom.8:35); God uses it to make our union with Him indelible, inseparable. We become tsuwrah
(Ezek.43:11), formed into the holy dwelling place of God by the impress of the Rock Himself.
What kinds of tribulation are in view here? In 2 Corinthians, Paul specifies beatings, stoning,
imprisonment, riots, sleeplessness, shipwreck, and all the other perils that come with travelling and
ministering in the world, plus the constant burden of his "deep concern for all the churches." (See
2Cor.6:4-10, 11:23-28.) These are not just the common hardships of life. What gives them their
redemptive power is that they occur as the disciple is representing Christ within a fallen, Satan-
infected world.
Jesus told His disciples, "No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will
persecute you also." (John 15:20) Any suffering we may undergo for the gospel's sake is intimately
wrapped in with the suffering of our Master. Paul told the Colossians, "I now rejoice in my sufferings
for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which
is the church." (1:24 NKJV) Because we are members of His body, our suffering for the gospel is a
continuation of His suffering. Ambassador and King literally suffer as one, since "I have been crucified
with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." (Gal.2:20a) For the true disciple there is no
genuine joy or sorrow that is not shared with Jesus. The great longing of Paul's heart was "to know
Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings . . . ."
(Php.3:10) In shared suffering we come to experience our union with Him, for that is when His image
(charakter) is most deeply pressed upon our spirit, and that is the time of our soul's refining: "See, I
have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction." (Isa.48:10)
Scripture makes it clear that, for the disciple himself, the main purpose of suffering for the gospel's
sake is to test his faith and purify his soul. ("Pressing out" and "purifying" the soul are different ways of
describing the same thing.) God used the Israelites' wilderness experience for this same purpose:
"Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you
and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His
commands." (Deut.8:2) We are encouraged to rejoice in our testing, since we already know the
outcome: "In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all
kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith, of greater worth than gold, which perishes even
though refined by fire, may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus
Christ is revealed." (1Peter 1:6-7)
Are you an ambassador for Christ? Am I? Do we rejoice in all our circumstances, even trials and
testing, even when the going gets agonizing and bewildering? Is worshipping Jesus and rejoicing in
Him the hallmark of our lives, like an open book that people are drawn to read? Can we identify with
these words of Paul: "We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we
despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we
might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly
peril, and He will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will continue to deliver us . . . ."
(2Cor.1:8-10)
To be honest ( a good idea), I haven't suffered much for the gospel's sake. Not so far, anyway. But I
believe I am willing, when the occasion arises. I hope so; I sure want to be willing and ready. I am very
far from a masochist, but I want nothing so much as to have Jesus Christ formed in me. The Lord is
gracious, though, and He takes us and works with us where we are at, if we will just say (to
paraphrase Isaiah), "Here I am, take me."
That is very good news indeed.

GOD’S JUDGMENT ON AMERICA - I

(Visions—Dreams—Prophecies—Sermons—Articles)
by Celia R. Okhuysen (USA) July 17, 1998
[Revised November 19, 1998. See NOTE at end of document.]
"Apocalypse." Apocalypse? "Apocalypse." So I typed out the word as I heard it in my spirit and then clicked on "Search." Lo
and behold! Internet websites galore on the subject sprang forth onto the monitor screen. Much to my astonishment, the Church
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and The Samuel Company (watchmen—prophets) also unfolded right before my eyes with links,
links and more links over many months. And so began a search during extensive time periods throughout, and up to exactly a
year, as I researched the subject of endtime prophecy using a string of related terms throughout each search. I utilized several
search engines and clicked away on many links.
Initially, I had no foreknowledge or understanding of what the Lord was calling me to do. Furthermore, I had no idea where I
was going with this search, but the Holy Spirit’s strong prompting kept me surfing the Web on the subject. I became thoroughly
caught up in this long and exhaustive search while bookmarking, downloading (printing) and assembling much material on the
subject of the endtime. (Saints, beware of the tares in the midst of the wheat, and be vigilant in the Spirit of the Lord! "For they
prophesy falsely to you in My name; I have not sent them," says the Lord. (Jer. 29:9) KNOW the Word—do NOT be
deceived—for prophecy MUST line up with Scripture. "Try the spirits." (1 Jn. 4:1)
In March, the Holy Spirit’s stronger prompting came upon me to set apart "judgment of America" visions, dreams and
prophecies. I promptly became immersed in the undertaking with even greater zeal and interest as I backtracked and searched all
my bookmarked folders and files. Once I separated all such files, I continued my search with a different string of related terms.
(At this point, I hasten to add that I am not a research analyst—just a former secretary—and have never done this kind
of work before. However, I was called by the Lord to yield myself and my energy to the Holy Spirit. I became willing, and
He did the rest. I read everything unceasingly as I progressed in my search.)
After much reading and indexing the subject of America’s judgment—her approaching sudden nuclear attack and invasion
by outside forces—(with much prayer for the Holy Spirit’s help and guidance for discernment of material context), the
following alphabetized index of website visions, dreams and prophecies—with a brief description of each—and sermons, as well
as articles, are hereby listed. (Exception: I have singled out background information on Dumitru Duduman as well as his
prophecies, and have placed them at the beginning of the list. A "must read" revelation is "America will Burn.")
I must also add that I received further visions, dreams and prophecies in abbreviated format on the same subject by e-mail which
unfortunately are not posted on the Web. One particular e-mail was on a brief excerpt of a book entitled "Destiny of America" by
Timothy G. Snodgrass ((Prophetic Intelligence Network, P. O. Box 1242, Bend, OR 97709). He outlines one particular vision
in which he saw a nuclear attack on America. He details the ensuing death, by radiation, of many people while many others
"wandered aimlessly, having a look of hopelessness and death written on their faces." Famine and poverty were everywhere. He
was carried in the Spirit throughout the country to witness America’s post-nuclear attack and destruction, particularly California.
He also speaks of the "war in the heavens." There were "many clashes and dogfights with the Chinese in the air." He also saw
Chinese troops "landing on our shores and gathering people into camps." (See ARTICLES—"The Coming American
Holocaust") He gives a strong, graphic account of everything shown him which lines up with many of the visions and dreams
referred to here.
Love, grace and mercy precede judgment. God is urgently speaking to His Church by His Spirit through His prophets in visions,
dreams and prophecies about the severity of what He is about to do. Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His
secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7) This is an extremely crucial and urgent message! Alerting others through e-
mail is in great order. If the Holy Spirit leads other websites to post or link "God’s Judgment on America - I & II" onto their
Web pages, PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO DOWNLOAD AND LINK ONTO OTHER WEBSITES
WITHOUT ANY CHANGES OR ALTERATIONS, EXCEPT IN CHANGING BOTH DOCUMENTS' WEBSITE
ADDRESSES AS WELL AS WEBSITE ADDRESSES WITHIN THE TEXTS (not the Index) TO CONFORM WITH
THEIR WEBSITE ADDRESSES. [NOTE: THE PRINTED MATERIAL HEREBY INDEXED IS NOT FOR SALE
OR FOR PROFIT IN ANY FORM OR MANNER BY ANYONE, ANYWHERE. Printer copy rates should apply as
desired, however, when sharing with others as there is much to share with many, and those many with many, many others, and it
will certainly run into material and printing expenses. DO share gratuitously with those pastors and missionaries who have no
access to the Internet.]
Much prayer that the Lord’s Spirit quickly get the word out to the whole Church in America before judgment arrives is urgently
needed! Sound the alarm! Download, copy, and share with those who have no access to the Web, and as the Spirit of the Lord
leads you. (Commercial printer rates should also apply for personal home copiers, as toner/ink, paper and printer use
employ to the same end.) I exhort the saints to magnify and exalt the Lord for His glory so that His Church in America enters
the judgment informed, prayed up and prepared. Those whose hearts are right with the Lord Jesus when God’s wrath strikes
America will go through the fire without burning. Those whose hearts are not—make haste into the presence of the Lord,
repenting (turning away) and returning to Him now! Search your hearts in His presence, confess your sins, and seek mercy and
cleansing of your sins by His Blood. Do not delay! See "God’s Judgment on America - II" http://www.do-you-love-
me.org/wsomers/gjoa-2.html
Assuredly, there is more on the Web on this prophetic subject which I probably overlooked unintentionally, as I limited my
search. And without a doubt, there is an unimaginable volume of unwritten and unprinted visions, dreams and prophecies as
received by The Samuel Company in the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth here in the U.S. and in other cultures about this
imminent and horrendous approaching event. (I now call upon those brothers and sisters in Christ outside our nation to
begin to pray for the Church in America once they have also had the opportunity to read through the indexed visions,
dreams and prophecies on what God is about to do here soon.) However, I am to redeem the time as one year is long enough
to gather sufficient material on the endtime as well as on America’s approaching nuclear attack and invasion, which is clearly
and incredibly described, and cross-confirmed, in much of the following indexed material.
Undoubtedly, many in The Samuel Company are not on the Web and do not even own a computer. They have no way to release
to the Church through the Web what the Lord is also revealing to them about America’s imminent attack. But verbal revelations
and witnessing should not be withheld, and should come forth. "To whom much is given, much is required." (Lk. 12:48) I
quote the phrase "The Samuel Company" as used by Reverend David Wilkerson of the Times Square Church in New York City
in his article, "God’s Hidden Last Days Army!" (see SERMONS) in which he identifies the watchmen (prophets) of God as
such. (Excellent! A "must read.")
The Holy Spirit has prompted me to include several of Reverend Wilkerson’s sermons as I came across them on the Web during
my time of search. His prophetic, spiritual and dynamic perspective on America’s moral decline and approaching collapse
strongly articulates the sovereignty, authority and power of God’s prophetic Word about America at the time of her
visitation—God’s judgment and wrath.
Thus says the Lord: "Stand ... and speak ... all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminish a
word. Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I
purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings. And you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord: "If
you will not listen to Me, to walk in My law which I have set before you, to heed (pay attention to) the words of My
servants the prophets ... then I will make ... this city (nation) a curse to all the nations of the earth."’" ... Now
therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God; then the Lord will relent
concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you. (Jer. 26:2-6,13—NKJV)
"And it shall come to pass ... that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." (Joel 2:28)
"I have also spoken by the prophets, and have multiplied visions; ... (Hosea 12:10)
"If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision, and I speak to him in a
dream." (Num 12:6)
"The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; and he who has My word let him speak My word faithfully. ...
Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord ... (Jer. 23:28,29)
"Write the vision and make it plain ... that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but
at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries (delays) ... it will surely come, it will not tarry." (Hab.
2:2-3)
Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these
days. (Acts 3:24)

WOE, WOE, WOE!

"A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. How the hammer (America) of the whole earth has been
cut apart and broken! How Babylon (America) has become a desolation among the nations! I have laid a snare for
you; you have indeed been trapped, O Babylon, and you were not aware; you have been found and also caught,
because you have contended against the Lord. The Lord has opened His armory, and has brought out the weapons
of His indignation; for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts ...
"Call together the archers against Babylon. ... Repay her according to her work; according to all she has done, do
to her; for she has been proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel. Therefore her young men shall fall
in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in that day," says the Lord. "Behold I am against you, O you
most proud!" says the Lord God of hosts; "for your day has come, the time that I will punish you. The most proud
shall stumble and fall, and no one will raise him up; I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it will devour all around
him." ... Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Babylon, ... At the noise of the taking of
Babylon the earth trembles, and the cry is heard among the nations. (Jer. 50:22-25, 29-32, 45,46)
Flee from the midst of Babylon, and every one save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of
the Lord’s vengeance; He shall recompense (reward) her. Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that
(through corruption) made all the earth drunk. The nations drank her wine; therefore the nations are deranged
(misguided). Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; perhaps she
may be healed. ... Forsake her, and let us go everyone to his own country; for her judgment reaches to heaven and
is lifted up to the skies. ...
O you (America) who dwell by many waters, abundant in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your
covetousness. The Lord of hosts has sworn by Himself: "Surely I will fill you with men, as with locusts, and they
shall lift up a shout against you." ... For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "... Babylon is like a
threshing floor when it is time to thresh her; yet a little while and the time of her harvest will come." ... "Oh, how
(Babylon) is taken! Oh, how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become desolate among the
nations! The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves. Her cities are a
desolation, ... My people, go out of the midst of her! (Be separate, and come out of her adulteries!) And let everyone
deliver himself from the fierce anger of the Lord. And lest (for fear that) your heart faint, and you fear the rumor
that will be heard in the land (a rumor will come one year, and after that, in another year a rumor will come, and
violence in the land, ruler (enemy) against ruler (America)), therefore behold, the days are coming that I will bring
judgment ... her whole land shall be ashamed, and all her slain shall fall in her midst. ...
"Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the Lord, "that I will bring judgment on her carved images (idols),
and throughout all her land the wounded shall groan. Though Babylon were to mount up to heaven, and though she
were to fortify the height of her strength, yet from Me plunderers would come to her," says the Lord. The sound of
a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction ... because the Lord is plundering Babylon and silencing her loud
voice, though her waves roar like great waters, and the noise of their voice is uttered, because the plunderer comes
against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken. Every one of their bows is broken; for the Lord is the
God of recompense, He will surely repay. ... Thus Babylon shall sink (fall) and not rise from the catastrophe that I
will bring upon her." (Jer. 51:6-9,13,14,33,41-43,45-47,52-56,64)
"I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me ... and
worshiped the works of their own hands." (Jer 1:16)
I bring this grievous message to the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ with a heavy and painful heart. What at first was an
adventure in assembling all this endtime and judgment material this past year has turned into a deep silent grief in my heart for
rebellious America (which I have loved and honored all my life) as she crescendos into God’s judgment and wrath because of
her apostasy. I particularly have a painful heart for my unsaved family members, friends, acquaintances and many others. Yet I
have now set and immersed my heart, mind and will in the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that through it all He will be with His
Church, never leaving nor forsaking us. Daily now, my cry to the Lord is that He supernaturally impart this, His message, to His
Church in America quickly, strengthening us to walk in His paths of righteousness every moment from now on, and boldly warn
others. My further cry is for all our loved ones whom we have prayed for, covered with the Blood of Jesus and encamped with
God’s angels, and have dedicated and sanctified to the Lord for salvation—that they be saved, protected and enter into glory
with us. And finally, that God permit His angels to appear to His Church (just as they did to Lot and his family) before He
strikes to warn and unite us with our Bibles and families, and to move us out of harm’s way to safe and protected ground. The full
outpouring of the Holy Spirit shall be upon us with a supernatural faith, strength, boldness and power to go forward. Food will be
supernaturally available to us. I shall disclose that dream to the Church on the Web later.
(There are "approximately" ONE HUNDRED VISIONS, DREAMS and PROPHECIES combined together, as well as SIX
SERMONS, and TWENTY ARTICLES about America’s bleak and dismal future. Websites hereby indexed were
"proofed," and logged onto July 3, 1998—the day I ended my search. They were all present and accounted for on that
date. I have no further instruction from the Lord on what to do with the rest of the endtime files.
A 3-hole punch and a 3-inch binder, or smaller, are in order if you decide to download the entire file or just part of it.
Four Index Dividers will help to organize the four categories of 1) Dumitru Duduman; 2) Visions, Dreams and
Prophecies; 3) Sermons, and 4) Articles. It will be of great help to you to keep the alphabetized indexed list at the front
of the binder in page protectors to prevent dog-eared, ripped pages. Caution: don’t try to download everything all at
once! Be kind to your printer. When downloading long documents, print ten pages at a time. Half a ream (250 pgs of 500
pgs) of printing paper or more will be needed for the entire file, depending on whether you download (print) in 10pt. or
12pt., and depending on your margin adjustments. I’ve set my margins at L-30, R-25, T-38, B-37, and the font size at 10
pt. in Netscape to reduce page volume.
Incidentally, to print a document from a multi-window screen press on the left mouse click with the pointer at the top left
of the document window which is to be printed. Keeping the left click pressed down, slowly bring the pointer down over
that particular window —text will hi-light—and bring mouse pointer to just beneath the bottom of that particular
window. Keeping the left click pressed down, slightly move the mouse pointer right-left-right, etc. as hi-lighted screen
continues to scroll to end of document. Or move mouse pointer back "up" over text not wanted to download. Hi-
lighting will disappear from unwanted text portion. Release the left click, aim pointer at "Print," and click. After much
frustration and much, much pleading to the Holy Spirit for help in printing a document from a multi-window screen, He
finally taught me that "trick" a few months ago! NOW THEN! Life doesn’t have to be so complicated after all, does it?)

GOD’S JUDGMENT ON AMERICA - II

(Commentary and Dream)
by Celia R. Okhuysen (USA) July 17, 1998
[Revised August 29, 1998. See NOTE at end of document.]
While in prayer at the beginning of June, I sought the Lord for mental, emotional and physical rest from
all the spiritual battles, trials, troubles, confusions, temptations and ongoing stresses that have been a
way of life for me throughout much of my life. I pleaded for time off where I could just rest from
encroaching weariness. After I finished my plea, I heard the Lord say in my spirit, "I am qualifying you
for the times ahead." A sound of thunder instantly exploded in my spirit which finally opened my
understanding. Then I understood that I have been going through a series of lifelong extensive boot
camp training exercises since childhood—sometimes through many fires. They have prepared me for
God’s use for His glory—a strengthened, a qualified and a willing vessel that will be available for use
at His appointed time.
During the second week of June, I was interceding for America and crying out to God to spare this
nation from total destruction for the sake of His Word and His glory. I kept in remembrance before Him
all His servants who throughout America’s history have gone forth from these shores throughout the
world to take God’s Light to nations dwelling in darkness, and to feed them the Bread of Life, God’s
Word. I also kept in remembrance before Him, the many, many missionaries that have been martyred
in foreign fields for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ—His Word. And I continued to furthermore
keep in remembrance before Him the God-fearing founding fathers who sacrificed their fortunes and
lives for this nation, as well as their sons who in later generations also sacrificed their lives and shed
their blood on foreign battlefields while also giving up their lives in the air and in the oceans throughout
the world to preserve our religious liberty and heritage, our peace, and the freedom He so abundantly
and graciously has blessed us with. I cried out and pleaded with Him to be merciful to America: "Have
mercy, Father God, have mercy on America!"
What happened next was just like the loving and merciful Lord Jesus—still wanting to save more souls
and desiring others to embrace Him as their Savior during a time of sorrow, woe and tragedy. I
distinctly heard Him speak these following words in my spirit: "MY CHURCH WILL BE KEPT HERE
TO PRESERVE THIS NATION DURING ITS JUDGMENT." Needless to say, I was stunned. I now
bring His word to His Church in America. We will be kept here as salt throughout God’s judgment on
this nation. "You are the salt of the earth." (Mat. 5:13—NKJV) If Jesus doesn’t keep His Church here
throughout God’s judgment, I truly believe that this entire nation would be completely destroyed.
"Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing ...?" ... And Abraham ... said, "Would You also
destroy the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there were fifty righteous ... forty-five ... forty ...
thirty ... twenty ... ten ...?" And He said, "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." (Gen. 18:17,23-
32)
(Read the full account of the total destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah from Gen. 18:16 to Gen.
19:29)
Not even Sodom and Gomorrah could have been as decadent and corrupt as America has become.
Note that angels led Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah before total destruction struck.
Jesus had no presence there, and no abominable and obscene vulgarities were spoken about or
done against the Son of God at that time. Yet, observe what its final end was. The evil and corrupt
climate was the same during Noah’s days—therefore, the flood. But God saved Noah and His family
from the total destruction of the earth by a flood. (Genesis, Chaps. 6-9) This time, God’s judgment will
be seasoned with grace because of His Son, Jesus. America will not be totally "destroyed," but
severely "judged" through God’s wrath: "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." (Gen. 18:32) I believe
this will be in response to all the prayers of the Church in America that are currently going up before
God’s throne in response to His admonition: "If My people who are called by My name will humble
themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chr. 7:14) "Then you will call upon Me and
go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." (Jer. 29:12) Although some life and some land will be
destroyed, America will survive. God is going to perform major surgery on this nation and deliver it
from the evil cancer of rejecting God’s love and sovereignty—the cancer of sin, idolatry, murdering
unborn babies, abominations and corruption. Perhaps America will repent and be healed. The Church
of Jesus Christ will be His postsurgery "healing balm" for bringing God’s message of love, mercy,
comfort and hope to a spiritually dying nation during its time of judgment and wrath. If surgery isn’t
performed soon, then the soul of this nation will surely die. God personally nuked Sodom and
Gomorrah directly from heaven with fire, as neither they nor the earth during Noah’s time had the
Blood covering of His Son, Jesus.
Our continued focus has been on what the obvious is, while we have missed out on the deep spiritual
reality on what has been—the longsuffering and enduring pain, blasphemy, and abominable offenses
against God and His Son. They have carried much pain in their heart far too long, yet denying
themselves because of the love and mercy in their compassionate heart for sinful and lost man. If this
is not love for man at its zenith, what is? Sadly, to my recollection as a Born Again Christian, no strong
unceasing focus has been placed on this naked reality: the endless pain and sorrow that pierces
God’s heart because of man’s sin, his cursing Him, slandering His Word and rejecting Him as his
Creator and Savior. We have been concerned with our longsuffering pain in our hearts, but what about
God’s longsuffering pain in His heart which He has been enduring? He, too, has emotions! He may be
God, but He also suffers pain! (How often I find myself asking the Father and/or the Lord as well as
the Holy Spirit to forgive me for hurting and offending them! How often!!!) Therefore, what shall be
the end of this nation as it continues to display its abominable, vulgar acts of obscenities with
despicable words of profanity and behavior, while openly rejecting and blaspheming the Son of God
as well as God Himself? How much longer can a nation shake its fist at God as it prances its rejection
of Him, His holiness and His righteousness while decrying, "IN YOUR FACE, GOD!" How much
longer? Be not deceived—patience has its limits. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a
reproach (rebuke—reprimand) to any people. (Pr. 14:34)
The only way God can spare this nation is to see the Blood of His Son covering the Church throughout
the land. "For in My wrath I struck you but in My favor (grace) I have had mercy on you." (Isa. 60:10)
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who hold the truth in unrighteousness ... (Rom. 1:18) "Now the blood shall be a sign for you (the
Church) ... And when I see the blood, I will pass over you ... when I strike ...." (Ex. 12:13) This is a
crucial and important point for every true Born Again Christian to remember: the Blood of the
sacrificial Lamb—Jesus Christ, the Son of God—which He shed on the cross at Calvary when He
died for the sins of the world, has not only cleansed us of all our sins, but the Blood of Jesus covers
us, His Church, at all times! (Treasure Gem: Everyday, I acknowledge and recite that reality by
verbally covering myself with the Blood of Jesus anew before my day starts and when I go to sleep. I
continuously claim the Blood over myself—"I cover myself with the Blood of Jesus. Thank you,
Jesus."—periodically throughout the day. I also cover my husband, families, etc. with the Blood,
including personal concerns, the cat, our home and the car. I take NOTHING for granted, knowing
who and what I am in Christ—redeemed and victorious, yet understanding what Satan is in the
world—a liar and destructive.) Nonetheless, when God finally releases His wrath, it will be with a
vengeful fury through His designated foreign agents. Without being or sounding insensitive to the loss
of sacrificial lives during the Pearl Harbor attack, it will appear minuscule—firecrackers—in
comparison to the launched nuclear missiles upon this nation, and their devastation of much life. A
nation in love with fireworks shall see fireworks as never before.
Take a long hard look at what God is showing His prophets and what He is about to unleash upon
America. Meditate on some of the scenes listed in the Visions, Dreams and Prophecies Index in
"God’s Judgment on America - I" [http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/gjoa-1.html] and
then take a long hard look at the decadent, immoral and spiritually corrupt climate of this nation. What
do you see? How do you understand? Is the Creator of this earth justified in what He is about to do?
But if our unrighteousness (evil works; sinfulness; immorality; wickedness; injustices) demonstrates
the righteousness (holiness; moral right; absolute truth; just character) of God, what shall we say? Is
God unjust who inflicts wrath? ... Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? ... for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:5,6,23) Here is truth: God is a divine being—a
moral force, and man is a sinner. Is the love of God for the world justified by keeping the Church here
as a preservative upon America? God sacrificed His Son on the cross at Calvary to
save—preserve—the world from eternal condemnation. Jesus will keep His Church here to preserve
America from her total extinction through God’s wrath. "You are the salt of the earth." (Mat. 5:13) The
Blood of Jesus will cover and protect—preserve—His Church during the judgment. ... having now
been justified (absolved from sin) by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Rom.
5:9) Jesus already took God’s wrath upon Himself for six hours as He hung on the cross with nails
through His wrists/hands and feet at Calvary, suffering excruciating pain and agony so that His
redeemed—His precious Church—will never ever have to suffer God’s wrath. He also suffered all of
God’s wrath for all those who will come to Him, confess that they have sinned against God, ask for
His forgiven ess, embrace Him as their Savior, give Him their hearts and lives, and ask for cleansing
of all their sins by His Blood.
Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, ... and I
prayed to the Lord my God, and made confession, and said, "O Lord, great and awesome
God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep
His commandments, we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and
rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. Neither have we heeded
Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings and our princes, to our
fathers and all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness (moral right and a just character)
belongs to You, .... O Lord, to us belongs shame of face, to our kings, our princes, and our
fathers, because we have sinned against You. To the Lord our God belong mercy and
forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him. We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord
our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets. ... Therefore
the Lord has kept the disaster in mind, and brought it upon us; for the Lord our God is
righteous (morally right) in all the works which He does, though we have not obeyed His voice.
"O Lord, according to all Your righteousness (truth and justice), I pray, let Your anger and Your
fury be turned away ... for our sins and for the iniquities of our fathers .... Now therefore, our
God, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the Lord’s sake cause
Your face to shine on Your sanctuary, which is desolate. O my God, incline Your ear and hear,
open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the city (nation) which is called by Your name;
for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but
because of Your great mercies. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not
delay for Your own sake, my God, for Your city and Your people are called by Your name."
(Dan. 9:3-10,14,16-19)
IN GOD WE TRUST
America is more accountable to God than any other nation on earth because of her spiritual roots and
her scriptual foundation. (In God I have put my trust.—Ps. 56:4,11) This is a nation founded on
Almighty God’s Word—the Bible! I believe that her judgment is not connected to the Tribulation
although it will probably initiate it once the world overcomes the frightening shock of her attack and
loss of influence as the superpower in the world who championed defending peace, liberty and life at
great cost. (What an irony! She is now LEGALLY championing the DESTRUCTION of the lives of
helpless, innocent unborn and partial born babies, and "justifiably" hanging her dirty laundry out on
her front lawn! Where is our nation’s Pledge of Allegiance of "liberty and justice for ALL" on behalf
of these innocent unborn and partial born human beings? Where is the moral outrage?)
The Antichrist will arrive on the scene shortly thereafter to bring some kind of order to the world during
the financial chaos that will follow America’s judgment—therefore, 666! How will the attack blend with
another approaching world calamity, Y2K (Year 2000)? Could the Y2K factor affect missile launches?
Perhaps the experts could address this issue, and explain how this approaching Y2K chaos could
possibly, and perhaps soon, accelerate any intended attack upon America by Russia and China as
depicted in the indexed dreams and visions in "God’s Judgment on America - I."
The Lord told Dumitru Duduman ("America Will Burn") that California, Las Vegas, New York and
Florida are Sodom and Gomorrah. As God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire, so will He
again destroy today’s comparable cesspools through nuclear strikes—with fire! (The tragedy is that
many fine and decent law abiding citizens who do NOT know Jesus Christ as Savior will perish
along with the wicked.) Financially speaking, California, New York and Florida probably have the
highest concentration of Jewish population outside of Israel to whom Israel looks to for financial aid
and support. With America attacked, invaded and crippled, this will leave Israel without a military and
financial umbrella. Once God has personally dealt with America, He will then proceed to deal next with
Israel. (Ezekiel, Chaps. 37-39)
Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church. (Mat. 16:18) Jesus will be with
His Church throughout this whole conflict. "I will never leave you nor forsake (abandon) you." (Heb.
13:5) "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Mat. 28:20) What is urgently needed
now in the lives of each saint in the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in America is deep heart
searching in the presence of the Lord, with humble acknowledgment of hidden sin and repentance, as
well as much intercession for families, the Church, and others. Now all things are of God, who has
reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ ... Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. (2
Cor. 5:18,20) Just as urgent is the need for each saint to immerse him or herself in the Word of God
to be equipped for the times ahead. For starters: Psalm 51, the Books of John, Colossians, Romans,
James, 1,2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, 1,2 Peter, 1,2 John and Psalm 91 are a good place to
begin hiding in the Lord. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to
be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15—KJV) We, the Church, will be kept here
to minister to the backslidden saints (Jesus will not abandon them) as well as to the lost—to be a
strength and hope in the midst of calamity. Saints in America, GOD IS ON THE MOVE! The cry of
"Jesus is coming—look busy!" should now give way to a new outcry: "Judgment is coming! Repent,
and warn others!"
(An excellent witness aid of the coming judgment is an 8 1/2" x 11" tri-folded, double-sided printed
flyer of Dumitru Duduman’s "Wake Up America!" with the "America Will Burn" revelation printed
text. A chronology of five dates depicting the approximate time frame leading to the coming attack
and invasion, and at what strategic border/coastal locations of America the invasion will take place,
follows the message. Although the flyers are given out free, I ordered one hundred and sent in a
contribution of $10.00 for printing, handling and postage expenses for the late Dumitru Duduman’s
volunteer staff foundation. It is well worth it, and it is a great support when warning others. The flyer is
provided by mail from HAND OF HELP, P. O. Box 550, Mineola, TX 75773, (903)569-6187.
Writing down the website addresses of "God’s Judgment on America - I & II" on the flyer gives
many the opportunity to log onto the Web and read for themselves all the compiled prophetic
warnings posted, and quickly bring further contact with many others who have access to the Internet,
who in turn will help to get the message out to others. Time is of essence and URGENT!)
"But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people
are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken
away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand. ... therefore you shall
hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man,
you shall surely die!’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man
shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the
wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but
you have delivered your soul. ... Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure
in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his (sinful) way and live. Turn, turn
(repent, repent—turn away) from your evil ways! For why should you die, ...?’
"... ‘The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his
transgression; as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that
he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his
righteousness in the day that he sins.’ When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but
he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be
remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die." (Ezek. 33:6-
9,11-13) [See Acts 5:1-11 — Study vs. 4 & 11 Why the fear?] "The soul who sins shall die."
(Ezek. 18:4)
To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed their ear is
uncircumcised (unclean), and they cannot give heed (pay attention). Behold, the word of the
Lord is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it. Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord.
I am weary of holding it in. (Jer. 6:10,11)
The following few paragraphs do not contain diplomacy wrapped in sugar coated—feel good words,
and neither does God’s Word! GOD’S WORD IS TRUTH (Jn. 17:17), and GOD IS NOT MOCKED.
(Gal. 6:7) Time is almost up, and whatsoever America has sown, she shall soon reap. Her epitaph of
woe and tragedy knocks at her door: "ICHABOD, AMERICA, ICHABOD!" (Your glory has departed,
America, your glory has departed! — [Ichabod: 1 Sam. 4:21]) "What will you do in the day of
punishment, and in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And
where will you leave your glory?" (Isa. 10:3) Come back to your spiritual roots, America, come back!
Repent! Your outcry is, "Separation of church and state," but look about you! Soon it shall be,
"Separation of God and country!" Discern! (Understand! Check out!) Discern the times! GOD
BLESSES AMERICA AS AMERICA BLESSES GOD!!!
Your hands drip with the blood of the unborn innocent! Also on your skirts is found the blood of the
lives of the poor innocents. (Jer. 2:34) ... In the secret places he (the abortionist) murders the
innocent; his eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. ... So he crouches, he lies low, that the
helpless may fall by his strength. He has said in his heart, "God has forgotten; He hides His face;
He will never see it." (Ps. 10:8,10,11) REPENT! The fool has said in his heart "There is no God."
They are corrupt (degenerate), and have done abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.
God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who
seek God. Every one of them has turned aside; they have together become corrupt; there is none
who does good, no, not one. (Ps. 53:1-3) "Turn, turn (repent, repent) from your evil ways!" (Ezek.
33:11) "And My name is blasphemed continually every day." (Isa. 52:5) "So I will make My holy
name known ... and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know
that I am the Lord ..." (Ez. 39:7)
And so, the good times are rolling; prosperity abounds; the music is loud; the party is boisterous; golf
clubs are swinging; abomination, corruption and decadence abound, and BABIES ARE
BUTCHERED EVERY MINUTE as King William (who with his hand ON THE BIBLE took Oath of
Office) has blatantly decreed, "Kill babies!" with a stroke of his pen, therefore defiantly declaring, "IN
YOUR FACE, GOD!" against the sixth commandment of God in the Bible where He commands, "You
shall not murder." (Ex. 20:13—NKJV; Mat. 19:18—KJV) Woe to those who call evil good and good
evil ... (Isa. 5:20) Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward.
(Ps. 127:3) A baby is God’s decree that life is to go on. All souls belong to God, in and out of the
womb! "Behold, all souls are Mine." (Ezek. 18:4) Nowhere in God’s Holy Word does He grant man
the divine right to commit infanticide and destroy what belongs to God. ... for it is written, "Vengeance
is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. (Rom 12:19) With the mother’s consent, man uses his hands to
hold butcher instruments with which to tear apart the limbs, head and torso of the innocent unborn
baby while still alive in the womb, as well as suck out the brains of the partial-born baby as it emerges
from the womb. But God, in His sovereign righteousness, shall hold His sword of wrath in His hand to
execute judgment upon America because of her national sin and all her abominations. Contrary to
popular opinion, God does have a few limitations, and one of them is that He cannot lie! (He also
does not change!—Mal. 3:6) His Word is truth, and His truth condemns unrighteousness: evil works;
sinfulness; murder; immorality; injustice; racism and wickedness. ... for all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God ... (Rom. 3:23) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My
ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than
your ways, and My thoughts (higher) than your thoughts." (Isa. 55:8,9)
Thus says the Lord: "Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you.
Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good." And they
said, "That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one do
the imagination of his evil heart." (Jer. 18:11,12)
"Your own wickedness will correct you, and your backslidings will reprove you. Know therefore
and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken the Lord your God, and the fear
of Me is not in you," says the Lord God of hosts. (Jer. 2:19)
"I will utter My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, because they have
forsaken Me, ... and worshiped the works of their own hands." (Jer. 1:16)
"And they shall know that I am the Lord (Sovereign God), and that I have not said in vain that I
would bring this calamity upon them." (Ezek. 6:10)
"I will surely consume them," says the Lord. ... "And the things I have given them shall pass
away from them." (Jer. 8:13)
"Now the end has come upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you
according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations. ... Then you shall know
that I am the Lord!" (Ezek. 7:3,4)
"Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it." (Isa.
46:11)
"For I am the Lord, I do not change; ..." (Mal. 3:6)
If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?" God will
not withdraw His anger, ... (Job. 9:12,13)
No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, "What have You done?" (Dan. 4:35)
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved! (Jer. 8:20)
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. (1 Jn. 1:9)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is
not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (Jn. 3:16-18)
For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved. (Rom. 10:13)
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men
by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
You are God—ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness ...
(Neh. 9:17)
In the third week of June, I sat outdoors on the lawn at sunset, keeping my cat company. A storm with
dark clouds was quickly approaching my way as I heard the thunder and saw lightning in the not too far
distance. I walked out to the wide lawn, looked up and studied the fast approaching storm from the
north. As I scanned the threatening skies and cloud formations, I spoke and said, " Lord, years ago in
many dreams I used to soar at will through the clouds, over houses, places and towns, and would feel
so free! However, I haven’t done that for a long time. I would like to soar through the skies again in my
dreams just to feel free for sheer delight as before. I’ve read in some of the judgment visions and
dreams that some of the saints have been taken up to great heights and shown your wrath coming
down upon America. But then, Lord, each one of us now has his/her own call and commission, and it’s
not that important. I’ll be thankful and content with what you call me to do." At that precise moment, a
sudden strong gust of wind swept through as the storm was upon me. I quickly picked up the cat with
one arm and grabbed the lawn chair with the other hand, and ran inside as it began to rain.
Next morning (June 18), I fed my 6:30 "alarm clock" cat and returned to bed remembering that it was
my birthday. As I laid in bed strangely alert instead of sleepy, I softly said, "Lord, every birthday I ask
You to supply a certain need, or even fulfill a desire. You’ve always answered my birthday requests.
This time, I do not want anything for myself but for Your glory. I feel so ill-equipped for the judgment that
lies ahead. It’s almost here, and what I would like for my birthday this time is Your mind and Your heart
with the Spirit’s fired up faith, strength, power and boldness. Otherwise I’m going to be weak and
ineffective to minister to the backslidden saints and to the lost souls during the time of judgment on
this nation. You always provide what is needful, and I trust You to equip me now for the times ahead. I
need full equipping of all of You—The Word." Then I fell sleep again.
DREAM: I was outside again, standing on the same spot on the lawn where I stood the previous
evening. It was a bright day, and I was with my husband. Once again I was looking up at the sky. A
beautiful colossal mass of white clouds against a brilliant blue sky was approaching our way. As I
began to study the clouds, I quickly made out several superimposed figures (similar to a dotted
pattern of cut-out paper dolls) of two still angels in flowing robes with what seemed like wide ribbons
tied around their waists and flowing streamers blowing in midair. Their curly hair fell down to their
shoulders and they had beautifully shaped spread out wings. Standing between them was a lamb. I
was surprised at what I saw in the clouds, and exclaimed to my husband, "Look at the angels in the
clouds!" As I spoke the word "angels," they began moving, as did the the lamb and its mouth, within
the massive drifting clouds. Next, a fast moving STUNNING COLOSSAL JESUS suddenly appeared
out of the north, rushing past the angels and the lamb in the cloud mass as He approached us! As he
came closer, His size began to diminish to an exacting dimension all through his quick descent to
meet with us, and by the time He touched ground, he was in exact body proportion size to ours.
UHNBELEEEVABLE!
He took wide strides toward us, in a somewhat rushed manner. I quickly ran to Him and threw my
arms around Him! I repeatedly cried out, "Jesus, I love You, I love You, I love You!" All the while I was
clinging to Him with a tight embrace, I was excitedly aware that I was actually holding Him in my arms
as I said to myself, "I’m touching the Lord! I can feel Him! I’m actually touching Jesus!" (I almost
exploded!) There are no words to describe my feelings and emotions at this encounter with the Lord,
except to exclaim that I felt and had an immense excitement with UNSPEAKABLE JOY!!! It was as
real as I clasp my hands and hold them tightly together before me at this moment. IT WAS SO-O-O
REAL! Also, as I held Him tightly, I was just as aware of how awesome the moment of my embracing
Him was, and what His garment felt to the touch. This is the best description I can give about His
garment: vibrant, living freshness, soft, and airy to the touch—with a faint, faint hint of a soft gentle
moist sponge. However, His body was strong and firm. Jesus was real, real, REAL!
What happened next flabbergasted me! As I opened my eyes and sought to look into Jesus’ face, I
found myself tightly embracing His legs! He had instantly become approximately ten feet tall! (I am
5'2.) While still embracing Him, I looked straight up to see Him looking straight down at me with a soft
smile as He gently responded, "Yes, I know." (Oh-h-h my!) I released Him and stepped back a few
feet to see Him better, but He instantly returned to His 5'11 (?) height. (Gasp!) As I stood there further
stunned, He and my husband spoke a few words together, and then He turned around and walked
toward a crowd of perhaps thirty or more people that had suddenly appeared. They were dressed in
today’s western style, pastel color, light weight clothing. They stood quietly, and were spread out,
about thirty feet away in groups of two’s, three’s or just a few alone. He walked over to them, and
slowly strolled in their midst as He stopped and spoke to each one of them individually. The crowd
instantly struck me as a flock of sheep ... which He purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28) out on
a green pasture with their Shepherd." ... the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by
name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the
sheep follow him, for they know his voice." (Jn. 10:3,4) We are His people and the sheep of His
pasture. (Ps. 100:3)
I watched Him for a while, taking His appearance, fashion of dress and demeanor into account. How I
admired the Lord! He was so unassuming and just plain natural! His hair was slightly damp and of a
medium auburn color which hung down to just above His shoulders. It was windblown and tossed. He
wore a close cropped beard of the same color, and He also had a healthy ruddy complexion. He was
gentle but strong as well as masculine. He was attentive to each one He spoke with. All the while, He
kept a gentle smile on His slender, strong featured face, and His body movement was lively but
graceful. His body frame was slender and strong. His ivory colored dress garment, with a narrow band
wrapped around His waist, had the appearance of having been actively worn, as though He just came
from the labor fields. He also wore a separate large ivory colored cloth draped over His right shoulder
that cascaded down His body as it draped itself around the left side of His waist over His dress
garment. He wore sandals.
I was so excited at seeing Jesus, and at being in His presence! No past event in my life, or in the
world—not even the moon landing—could ever be compared to what I was now experiencing and
witnessing. It was more than miraculous. I was in the presence of the Son of God whom I had just held
in my arms! It was the sacrificial Lamb of God that was slain on the cross at Calvary for my sins and
the sins of the whole world! It was the Holiness, the Glory, the Love, the Grace, the Mercy, the Peace,
the Word, the Light, the Truth, the Righteousness and the Strength of Almighty God—the Joy of the
living—in the flesh—on two feet—before me! It was the Savior and Lord of the whole earth! IT WAS
THE KING OF GLORY!!! (I had asked the Lord the previous night if I could once again soar through
the clouds in my dreams, but now my heart, mind and spirit are soaring nonstop.)
While Jesus remained with the crowd, I turned and stepped away another thirty feet and entered a
small white latticed darkened enclosure that sat on a small concrete slab. Within it was a small animal
crouched under a table. It was the size of a large overweight mature cat, and dark brown in color. It’s
ears were narrow and pointy, and it had no whiskers. Its face was puggish and nasty looking. The
animal appeared to be a cat, but it wasn’t. Its front paws firmly held a small piece of raw meat it was
busy biting into. Although it didn’t look up to acknowledge me, I excitedly approached and bent over it,
saying, "Isn’t it nice having Jesus for company?" It looked up and instantly drew its head back with a
haughty attitude as it responded with a firm rebuttal, "No!" It furled its forehead as its eyes instantly
creased into slits. I immediately sensed a hostility on its part toward me, and withdrew a few feet back
as it continued to glare at me through its narrow slit eyes while making piercing eye contact with me.
(That animal was ugly to look at!) After a long moment of staring at each other, it then resumed biting
on the piece of meat it had continued to hold firmly between its paws. I woke up a few hours later at
9:40 with a palpitating and excited heart.
INTERPRETATION: Jesus personally made haste to bring me an immediate response to my

request. (I believe this confirms how little time is left before God’s wrath strikes America. I discern
that judgment has already begun.) His sudden towering height over me confirms that I’ll have more of
Him than I asked for, as there was twice as much of Him than I could hold. A double portion of
equipping will be mine during the time of judgment and post-wrath, which now approaches America.
And, praise the Lord, all for His glory! And, yes, I’ll be fired up with the Holy Spirit to minister the
Word, hope and comfort to many during the chaos through the Word’s strength and the Holy Spirit’s
power.
The animal is figurative of the self-sufficient lost world which is totally absorbed with the cares of the
flesh, and who secludes itself from the Light. "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For
everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest (for fear that) his deeds
should be exposed." (Jn. 3:19,20) It feeds on the crumbs of life rather than feast at the table of God’s
Word. It represents the lost world which dwells in a hard, cold (symbolized by the cement slab) and
dark environment, rejecting the Son of God. It wants nothing to do with Him, as evidenced by its hiding
from Him. "I am the light of the world." (Jn. 8:12) The world is hostile toward God and His Son—the
Light and the Truth. Do you not know that friendship (compromise) with the world is enmity (hostility)
with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
(Jas. 4:4) Its carnivorous character reveals how it covets and devours its neighbor and his meat—his
possessions—through lies, deceit and murder, bringing judgment and condemnation upon itself, while
rejecting the meat of God’s Word—truth, justice, mercy and eternal life. "Their throat is an open tomb;
with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is
full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their
ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Rom.
3:13-18)
Saints of God, I would now like to call your careful attention to the dream described above. The timing
of this dream came as I was in the midst of composing this commentary, and is not coincidental or
intended just for me. This dream is also for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as symbolized by the
crowd Jesus walked in the midst of while personally talking with each individual. Notice that He also
personally approached each one of them to minister His response to their prayers and petitions just
as He came and approached me in response to my prayer and petition moments earlier. Many of
you—the redeemed of the Lord—have consecrated, sanctified, dedicated and surrendered your
hearts and lives to Jesus to serve Him as He calls upon you. (Sadly, many others of the redeemed
have not done so, or else their lifestyle—which is engrossed in the lures and pleasures of the
world—and their words and behavior would reflect it. They crucify the Lord anew daily. (Heb. 6:4-6))
You have also placed all your spiritual petitions before Him, expecting Him to fill, equip and keep you
throughout the approaching times. Many of you have, and are receiving, revelations in various ways
from the Lord as to what lies ahead for the Church in America shortly.
For those of us walking close with Jesus, a supernatural power, strength, boldness and peace will
take hold of our hearts and minds in the midst of all the chaos, and WE WILL NOT FAINT in the midst
of death, sorrow and adversity around us. Jesus is, and will continue to be the strength of our hearts,
minds and lives. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with
wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isa. 40:31) We will
be supernaturally empowered with the Holy Spirit and encamped with divine protection. Oh, fear the
Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. ... But those who seek the Lord shall
not lack any good thing. (Ps. 34:9,10) A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your
right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of
the wicked. ... No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall
give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. (Ps. 91:7,10,11)
Notice the angels surrounding the lamb in the clouds. We have angels all around us (His sheep) now,
yet imagine the legions of angels around the Church during the time of judgment and wrath. Do not
lose spiritual sight of them at our side to minister safety and protection to us.
On August 30, 1976, at approximately 9:30 PM, I was born again by confessing, through prayer, that I
was a sinner. I asked God to forgive me of all my sins, and embraced Jesus, His Son, as my Savior. I
gave Jesus my heart and life, and asked Him to be the Lord of my life. Later that night, four angels
appeared around my bed as I "slept." (I was heavily involved in the occult and witchcraft at that time.)
I laid there alone on my back, watching them in the dark all night long while they stood gazing down at
me without moving or saying a word. There was such a deep peace around me! I would roll my eyes
and head to watch them, but did not say a word either. They were beautiful, and bathed in light. They
were neither male or female. They wore white robes, were approximately six feet in height, had
beautiful fair complexions, light hair, and were quite serene, yet vigilant. They did not have wings.
When I woke up in the morning, I was totally "refreshed" and felt like a "brand new" person! Note that
the Lord’s immediate priority was to show me His angels who would always be with me to protect me.
He once again brought that to my attention in this dream which showed two angels around a lamb. I
share this with you, the saints of God, as a strong word of comfort for the times ahead. The angels will
minister to the flock of the Lord Jesus Christ. Be encouraged!
Through the Word, the Lord has revealed to His Church that we will be amply supplied with more than
we can imagine is available to us: the power of prayer, the Word of God in our hearts, the Name of
Jesus, authority over the enemy, the Blood of Jesus covering us, the power and seal of the Holy Spirit
upon us, the angels encamped around us, and the Lord Jesus with us, strengthening our faith. What
else do we need during the judgment? We shall be supernaturally protected! My God shall supply all
your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19) We are to keep our hearts
and minds focused on Jesus at all times now, and during what lies ahead of us. His presence and
strength shall equip us with the power of the Holy Spirit to go through the fire without burning. "When
you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." (Isa. 43:2)
I share this word from the Lord with you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, to comfort and exhort you to
persevere. But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to
those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ
Jesus. (Phil. 3:13,14) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith ... (Heb. 12:1,2)
No weapon formed against you shall prosper ... (Isa. 54:17) The Lord God is my strength.
(Hab.3:19) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear
... (Ps. 46:1) In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
(Ps. 62:7)
Beloved of the Lord Jesus, receive great peace, strength, comfort, and clear and distinct
understanding with confirmation through this testimony, that many confusing and sometimes painful
spiritual battles which you have fought and endured throughout your life, as well as some other battles,
have been divinely ordained of God to PREPARE and QUALIFY you to ENDURE and to STAND. For
the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul. (Deut. 13:3) The appointed time is almost here when you will finally stand straight,
tall, prepared, qualified, strong in the power of God’s might, bold, wearing your spiritual armor, and
readily equipped with the sword of the Spirit to do mighty battle, and to minister God’s love, hope,
peace, assurance, strength and comfort. Those past boot camp training exercises will have enforced
you with boldness and strength, and qualified you for God’s empowering of His Word and anointing of
the Holy Spirit to be walking demonstrations of the power of God in the midst of the fire, and walking
declarations of the Word of God during the judgment and post-wrath of America—God’s hidden army
for the last days! I briefly quote a small passage from Dumitru Duduman’s "America Will Burn":
"What will you do with the Church of the Lord? How will you save the ones that will turn toward you?" I
asked. He said, "Tell them this: how I saved the three young ones from the furnace of fire (Dan. 3:8-
27), and how I saved Daniel in the lions’ den (Daniel, Chap. 6), is the same way I will save them." This
will not be a time for the saints of God to fear because of the word of hope and comfort from the Lord
through His Word—"I will never leave you nor forsake you."— and through His prophet, Dumitru
Duduman! Be assured that the time is just about at hand. Jesus will be with His Church throughout
God’s judgment.
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not
wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of
the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put
on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the
gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being
watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints ... (Eph. 6:10-18)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over
all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is
eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And
now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the
world was.
"I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They
were Yours ["Behold, all souls are Mine." (Ezek. 18:4)], You gave them to me, and they have
kept Your word. Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.
For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me. I
pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are
Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no
longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through
Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. ...
"I have given them your Word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that
You should keep them from the evil one. ... Sanctify (set apart) them by Your truth. Your word
is truth. As You have sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world." (Jn. 17:1-18)
"He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects
Him who sent Me. ... I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the
authority to trample on serpents and scorpions (spiritual threats and attacks) and over all the
power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ["Every tongue which rises
against you in judgment you shall condemn." (Isa. 54:17)] Nevertheless do not rejoice in this,
that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.
... Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets ... have
desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not
heard it." (Lk. 10:16,18-20,23,24)

Glory
by William Hawkins\
The Glory of the Lord WILL come down upon his people and the world as you now know it will change dramatically, and
shall forever be changed.
The outpouring you now see is but the forerunner of the Glory to come.
It’s purpose is not only to make you ready for more, but to make you see that you need more and to challenge you to
prepare to receive it.
This Glory shall be poured out upon all flesh.
Those who refuse it will draw farther away from me than they are now, so far away that they shall be lost.
Those who are mine now, who question if it is even of Me and then reject it shall fall headlong into Legalism and shall be
judged by the same.
Those who accept it is of Me, but refuse to open up totally to it shall only see results in direct proportion to their faith to
receive it.
Those who accept it as of Me and because of their love for Me receive it with joy and to its fullness are those who will do
mighty exploits in the days to come.
This time of Glory shall be a time of transition from what is, to what will be---from now to then.
It will determine who my Bride is.
It will not come slowly, nor even over a period of time, but in a day it will come down upon the world.
It will not linger long, but will change many and then they and the Glory shall be removed.
Watch and be prepared to open your heart and your spirit to My Spirit and receive My Glory--The Spirit in the fullest
measure you have prepared to accept.
Do not be swept away trying to use your mind, do not ask your body or feelings to help, but seek only Me in prayer and
use My word to test all.
Be ready to come under great persecution from first your brothers who do not accept what I am doing, but are falling into
legalism and death. Second, your families who will truly think you have lost it, because they will not understand such a
sudden, even more dramatic change than was even seen at your conversion to Me, when you accepted Me as Lord and
Savior.
The world will not care and thus they will be the ones you can reach for Me. They have been starved for a display of
Supernatural Power and have sought it in all the wrong places, because it was not seen in my house as I had ordained.
NOW I shall give them the thing they seek, and even then many will turn away, BUT , there shall be a great and mighty
harvest and it will come in a very short time.
The days JUST ahead shall be weary and it will seem as though this shall not come to pass , But, be of good cheer , it
has been ordained before the foundation of the world was laid and it shall come to pass.
Amen.

Go!
Catherine Brown,
I Am the resurrection and the life. I Am He who has defeated death and every power and principality. I Am he who covers
you in the darkness and brings you to the fullness of My Light. I Am He who waits here in this place for My people to turn
to Me once more. You are not to turn away from the brightness of My presence. You are not to turn from those who
shine like stars, for it is I who brightens them. It is I who causes them to shine.
There is a Light, which I am holding up for all men to see. Cover not this Light, for it is not to be hidden in cupboards of
selfishness. My children, when will you hear the call to take My light into the darkness? When will you reach out in Love
to those who stumble in the dark? When will you lay aside your own agendas and selfish ambitions and take up My
cross? When will you raise My banner of love over the multitudes? For surely I have spoken that this is My will. Surely I
Am placing great riches within your reach, but you muddy them as though they are nought. My children when will you
hear My broken heart on this? When will you love the unlovable and teach the unteachable and reach the unreachable.
My children, you will love and them and teach them and reach them when you ask Me for My heart. Your own souls are
not able to love them; your own minds cannot perceive how I love them and yearn for the lost. I yearn for the prostitute, I
yearn for the homeless, I yearn for the addict, I yearn for the alcoholic, I yearn for the abuser, I yearn for the abused, I
yearn for the murderer, I yearn for those whom you despise. I commanded you to hate the sin NOT the sinner. When will
you lay aside your lofty speculations of who are worthy of My Love?
Do you not know that none are worthy by their own merits? Do you not see that it is only by My grace that you now
stand before the Father? Why, My children, will you not weep the tears I weep? Wake up to the call of My Spirit. How
long, my children will you ignore His voice. He pleads with you night and day but so many of your turn your backs in
haughty arrogance from Him. My beloved Spirit, who speaks of what He hears and tells of what is to come, who does the
will of the Father. When will you acknowledge Him in full measure?
When will you lay aside the lofty speculations of your mind and stop endeavouring to measure up to human standards.
When will you lay aside the fear of man, how long must I wait for your hearts to bow in adoration, to bow in obedience, to
bow in fear of Me? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but how long will you be blind to this truth? You speak
with a double-edged tongue. You curse and you bless, you pull down and you build up, when will you lay aside this
double minded ness.
How long will you be lukewarm My children? How long must I wait for you to be neither hot nor cold? How long must I
plead with you? Days are coming My children when you must choose the way of Life. The times as you know them are
drawing to a close and you must be prepared. You are not equipped to appear before Me, for you have ignored My Spirit.
Go into the market places, go into the back alleys and streets, go to the tenement blocks and the council estates, go to
the wealthy who are lost in their riches, go to the single parents and the orphans, go to the widows and the widowers, go
to the businessmen and the intellectual and do not justify your selfish hesitancy by saying that it is My will. It is My will
than none should perish and all should come to repentance. Confess your sin of negligence and apathy and step out with
Me that together, hand in hand, we will reach out to all those in darkness and bring them by My Spirit into the light. You
are not to worry about how or where or what you will say, you are simply to be a vessel. Am I not He who created the
Heavens and the Earth, then I am He who will fill your mouths with My words and your hearts with My love and your eyes
will see as My eyes and your mind will be filled with My thoughts. 'Go' is the commandment I give unto you this day and
to love thy neighbour as you love yourself - do you not know this is the beginning of holiness? Be holy because I am
holy. Love because I first loved you.
Shake of the shackles of disinterest and apathy and a loathing for all that is not beautiful by human standards. Speak to
the rejected, speak to the melancholy, speak to the prisoners, speak to the sick, visit the Hospitals and step out boldly
in faith in My name, for surely signs and wonders will follow those who will go. But do not go with any other expectation
than to be obedient, I Am and I will do as I will do. You are not to fret and worry over the Way, for I am the Way. I Am.
Amen
Word given 11 August 1998

Going About Your Fathers' Business

Thomas Gibson
For thus says the Lord God, there is a falseness in the spirits of the churches. For they are not the Spirit of Me, but the
Spirits of Heaven do not lie, but the spirits of hell do.
There are spirits of hell - demons - seeking to deceive the churches. They have sent forth yes prophecies that will agree
that you can love the earth, the things of the earth, and the pride, the love of money, and the evils of this earth. They have
sent forth such words to deceive even My people.
Now here Me, says the Lord, there is a time which you must not be deceived in, this is that time. There is a time you
must not be deceived in, this is that time. There is a time you must not be deceived in, this is that time. You cannot go
on and believe the falseness of the words that have gone forth from some of My so-called prophets.
Some of them were, and turned to the evil because they wanted to be tingled, they wanted a word when I would give no
word, they wanted to be looked up to, and raised up and put on a pole, and looked up to, and almost worshipped as a
prophet before Me. AND I WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT EVIL!!!
And yet many churches will do this. They'll applaud them, and they'll bow down and say, "Yes we have our prophet in our
midst." And as long as that prophet will say the right things, they will be glad of him.
But I do not prophecy this way, says the Lord. For My people and My prophets will speak My Word. This is a time of
wrath and judgment! Also a time of salvation, and glorious times!
For those who would put aside the sins of the earth, those who would put aside the lusts of the flesh, those who would
put aside all things to seek Me, says the Lord, they will be in the glorious times. For even though the world shall come
apart, even though there shall be false prophecies, and even though there shall be evil round about them, even
persecution to death around them, yet I will raise them up, a standard high unto the heavens, so that they will walk in My
will, do what I want, and Satan, try as he will, will not stop them, because they are My people, empowered by My Spirit.
And beyond anything of your measure in this time, they will do.
You are so close to the wrath of God falling on these nations of the earth. You are so close to it, and yet, when it comes
many shall say, "Oh, must it be." But rather you shall say, "Yes, let it be. Let the judgment of God come. Let it happen."
For it is at this time you shall see miracles, as persecution raises itself up against My people, I shall raise up in great
power. You shall see the dead raised. You shall see the dead come back to life in front of your eyes if you'll walk with
me. This time is coming.
And it is being held back, for the test of the earth. And I have tested many in the earth. And they have tested to Satan
and evil and evil, even in My churches they have tested evil. I have put them to the test and they have sought the things
of the earth. They look to the things of the earth for an answer. They have not looked to Me.
And yet, there are those that have. Everywhere you look you will find, a few here, and a few there, and sometimes many,
that will seek Me beyond anything else. they care not for the things of this earth, but they care about the will of the
Lamb. And for them I shall be powerful unto them.
When the world comes apart, and things are not going right, and people are having a horrible time, they shall walk
through this time, blessed and prosperous, because I will meet their every need no matter what! Any miracle it takes, I
will do it, because they have a heart toward Me, so I shall have a heart toward them.
But those who have walked in evil and in the sins, (that I have commanded are sins in My Word), those, unless they
repent, shall walk in wrath and judgment, even though they are part of My church, for they have departed from My Word!
And they have said, "Lord, Lord,." but I say, "I do not know you." For they have sought the evil of this earth. They have
sought all forms of it. And I say, "No More!!" For I will purify My Church. And those that come under wrath, come under
wrath. And those that come under blessing, come under blessing.
CHOOSE YOU YOUR SIDE!! For there is no difference between the world and those in My churches who say, "Lord,
Lord," and refuse to serve Me. They are all sinners in like fashion. But those who will say, "Lord, Lord," and bow and
humble themselves, and obey My Word, and seek My will, and obey it above all things, not caring what people think, not
caring about the world around them, not caring about anything, save the will of the Lord. Those, those I shall raise up a
power that shall not be reckoned with in this earth. They'll be nothing that will equal it. They shall be strong in all ways.
You shall not begin to understand this now, but when you see it come to pass you will understand, this was prophesied,
this is coming to pass. And a great power shall come like never before.
Here this word, it is a warning to repent. It is a warning to seek carefully, in pray before God, whether you stand correct,
or are being pulled by the lusts of this earth into sin, and you're calling it "the will of God." Be careful what you call My
will.
Seek: do you seek the things of this earth? Do you constantly seek to be blessed by the things of this earth? Do you
seek: just your needs met, by the will of the Lord? Do you seek the things of God first? What is a priority in your life? Are
you being caught up in the new houses, and the new cars, and the new this, and the new that, just to have something
new? Is that your goal? Or have you sought the will of the Lord, and are going about your Fathers' business?

God, Meeting His People

The Biblical Pattern
by Ivan Poulter
Within the scriptures, the formation of an oath or covenant is related to the number seven. In other words, "God seven
times Abraham". Now, I want to appropriate a "covenant of meeting" with God. The body of Christ is often represented by
a temple. A temple is where God meets to fellowship with His people. At one time, God met with Adam in the cool of the
evening. But, sin entered into the world and spoilt that. The next individual we see God fellowshipping with is, Abraham.
Much later God came to Moses and instructed him to set up a tabernacle in which God said He would be among His
people. A tabernacle is a type of a temple. A wondering temple or moving tabernacle, at that.
The tabernacle was replaced by the temple, designed by David as he was shown by God, but built by Solomon. Due to
great sin among the people, this temple was destroyed. Then after many years, another temple was erected under the
instruction of Ezra and Nehemiah.
When the Jews were under the captivity of the Babylonians, they established synagogues in their different communities.
The latter temple and the synagogue where still in existence in the days of Jesus.
Having terribly backslid, the Jews were also guilty of erecting temples for the pagan or heathen gods. Herod, a Jew, had
erected a temple in Ceasera Phillipi, devoting it to the Roman emperor. The god of "production" or prosperity was
worshiped here. This was where Jesus asked the disciples who the people and they thought He was. Before Peter
answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God, did the disciples consider that Jesus had anything to do with
the temple for prosperity in view?
Unfortunately, many churches have become mere pagan or heathen temples where the people meet to be further
influenced by demon powers and doctrines of men. These meetings places we are to avoid like they were the plague.
Confronting these abominations, Jesus will ask of us today, "Who do you say that I am?" I hope we will have the same
answer as Peter and therefore not do what so many Christians are doing today - worshiping a god who merely prospers
them with material worldly wealth.
Jesus frequently taught in the synagogues, at least until the religious order of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
prohibited Him from doing so. Christ then met with the multitudes of people wherever it was convenient; the shores of the
lake, preaching from a boat; on a mountainside; in the wilderness. In essence, the earth is God's meeting place with His
people.
Understood to be speaking of the temple, Jesus said that He would raise up the temple in three days after it would be
destroyed. He was of course speaking of His own body being raised up after death. Speaking of His body, we see that
the "church", "a called out gathering" from "ecclessia" is spoken of as the body of Christ. As Christians, we individually
and collectively make up a temple of God.
While we can gather together and form a temple, each of us are also to meet with God as individuals within the privacy of
our own closets. Let me say, that the "closet meeting place" becomes another holy place, sanctuary or temple where
God meets with His people.
Now there is one more meeting place, significant for Christians, mentioned within the scriptures. Christians met daily, not
only in the temple, but also as they went from house to house. These would be the "church in the house meeting".
Do you grasp all the different types of temple meetings? I firmly believe that when we speak of the body of Christ, the
church of the living God, we should have all types of the temple represented to be firmly established. They are: 1. God
meeting with His man, in the man's trysting place, just as God met with Adam and Abraham in intimate or personal
fellowship. 2. God meeting with His people within a tabernacle, a moving place of instruction, fellowship and worship of
God; a place moving through the world letting the worldly know that there is a God. 3. God meeting with His people who
celebrate His manifested glory in true praise and worship within a temple, a solid, immovable and permanent structure. 4.
God meeting with His people within a synagogue where the leaders instruct the people of God in the matters concerning
God and His word. 5. God meeting with His people upon the earth, in the open air, not constrained by a building, and not
constrained by men who have set themselves as the authorities over God's people. 6. God meeting with His people within
the "Church in the House" as they go about praying, breaking break, fellowshipping in the doctrines of the apostles. It is
within these home meetings that the gifts of the Holy Spirit can begin to flow. 7. Last but not least. God meeting with His
individual believer within their own personal closet. It is here that the believer waits upon God, being infused by the very
being of God. This is not a time of talking to or being spoken to, but a time of being changed from within. I am not saying
that we are not to put our requests to God here, but this should not be the main focus of this meeting place.
Hence, it can be clearly seen that when we are speaking of a temple, we are to understand that there are seven
expressions of the acceptable temple. We are not to substitute the one for the other. Each is important for our balanced
development in our relationship to God. You cannot neglect the one for an over-emphasis of another. We ought: 1. To
have our own personal fellowship with God, in the cool of the evening. 2. To move freely through our communities and
then the world, communicating to the worldly that there is a God who cares. 3. To gather together with the saints in
temple type celebration, praise and worship of a True God. We should be seen as solid, permanent and immovable as far
as our relationship to God is concerned. 4. To gather together in synagogue type meetings, waiting upon our leaders as
they would instruct us in the matters of God, and His Christ. (Of course, we should avoid at all coasts becoming mere
institutions that prohibit the real presence of Jesus.) 5. To gather in convenient settings unrestrained by man or buildings,
waiting upon Jesus as He addresses His multitude that we are a part of. 6. To gather with the saints in one another's
houses where we really contact God for one another, allowing the gifts of the Holy Spirit to flow. 7. To get alone with God,
and allow Him to infuse His being into ours. Without this, each of the former are meaningless.
A Three-fold Relationship. It is vitally important that we each have our own relationship with God, that we relate to His
people, and that we relate to the people within the world. Hence the "temple of the living God" has a three fold purpose:
1. Relating to God 2. Relating to God's people. 3. Relating to the lost in the world.
Just as we need the seven different expressions of God's temple for a balanced development, it is also vital that we keep
the three different relationships for our time upon the earth to be meaningful. Here too, you cannot over-emphasize the
one relationship at an expense of another relationship. We need God. We need one another. Others need us, at least,
they need the Christ within us.
In service to Christ and His people,

Ivan & Kathryn Poulter

God in the Noose

Jeff Treder
In one of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, we are told, a young boy was hanged for
some minor infraction or no infraction at all, and the other prisoners were forced to watch. One of the
watchers, in bitter despair, wondered aloud, "Where is God now?" A little while later another watcher
answered, "I think He is in the noose."
The anecdote is a moving and troubling one. It raises hard questions. If God is hanging in the noose,
does that mean that He is as pathetic, powerless, and dead as the young boy? It certainly seems to
be so at times, particularly when evil appears to be not just triumphant but virtually unchallenged—as
in a Nazi concentration camp. Then even spiritually sensitive souls—especially these,
perhaps—cannot help wondering where God is. He appears to be not just hidden but unconscionably
hidden. This is, of course, the main theme of the Book of Job. Keep in mind that Job’s litany of
anguished questions never receives a direct answer. Yahweh reveals Himself and speaks to Job of
His sovereign eternal power, and this satisfies Job, yet without answering his questions.
If God is hanging in the noose, though, it isn’t the first time. He hung on the cross. He wasn’t
compelled to squeeze His majesty into the form of a man and then humble himself to the point of
crucifixion, but He did. Or perhaps He was compelled, because He is love.
Have you ever wondered why our omniscient God decided to create the human race in just the way
that He did? No doubt He could have created beings who would never turn their hearts from Him.
Such beings, however, would come short of the moral freedom that is requisite for creatures made "in
His image" and thus capable of a perfected personal relationship with Him. He created us both
morally responsible and morally fallible, I believe, because He desired to manifest His true character
in the fullest possible way to the entire creation. That way made Eden, Bethlehem, and Calvary
absolutely necessary. For God is love, and no other way could adequately show forth the exact nature
and quality of that love. As strange as it seems, all the depths and ramifications of depravity had to be
explored, in order that our moral freedom might be proved genuine, and in order that the complete
magnificence of our Lord’s character might be manifested. His love is love that saves to the uttermost
(Heb.7:25): He is love and He is salvation, as the name of Jesus proclaims—"Yahweh is salvation."
So all the depths and ramifications of depravity have been explored, and in the process God often
seems hidden, perhaps even powerless or heartless. Where is He when children are being abused
and starved, or being hanged to gratify some sadist’s pleasure? I know what the answer is, though my
understanding of it is far from complete. The answer is, He is in the noose. He is suffering with us, and
His suffering is still redemptive. This is the mystery of the cross: the greater the apparent weakness,
the greater the actual power. The blood of Jesus was shed in agony and apparent weakness, but the
weakness was only apparent, only external. To give your life on behalf of others is an act of supreme
spiritual power. God in the noose is God at His most powerful—power incomparably greater than
hydrogen bombs or supernovae, the power to change hearts. There is life-transforming power in the
blood of the Lamb.
A time is coming upon us when God, to every eye except the eye of faith, will seem to be absent or
uncaring or helpless. The regime of Antichrist will dominate the world’s politics and economics. He will
be the hero and darling of the media. Every human society and culture will be soaked in greed,
corruption, deceit, witchcraft, sensuality, vice, and injustice. Infanticide and child abuse will be
universal. To worldly eyes, God will appear to be hanging dead in the noose. At the same time,
however, the church will be walking in full spiritual maturity, alertness, and unity. Jesus will fully indwell
His body, and with eyes of faith we will see that God in the noose is not, in fact, dead. He is saving to
the uttermost those who come to Him, and transforming them into Ezekiel’s army, a worldwide people
filled with love, compassion, zeal for the gospel, boldness, wisdom, and fearless joy. The noose is
God’s last days military strategy, the seal of His final victory.

God's Prophets Are Poets.

Darlene Burton and Paula Cavu
INSIGHT INTO THE PRESENT STATE OF CHRISTENDOM, THE MINISTRY OF GOD'S PROPHETS/APOSTLES IN
RELATION TO THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THEIR OPPOSITION, THE TABERNACLE OF HEAVEN AND THE FACT THAT
GOD'S PROPHETS ARE POETS.
Dream by Darlene Burton submitted 24th June 1998 and interpretation by Paula M. Cavu.
Darlene Burton <thelady@aa.net>
After waiting for sometime, after a church service of some kind, for the Church bus to take each of us home (there were
about 5 people waiting with me, none of whom I knew) everyone began to go to sleep. The hour grew late and there was
no sign of the bus, so I woke everyone and suggested that we take the one vehicle that was available in the parking lot.
We would drop everyone off at their homes and I hoped that my husband (who was the bus driver of the bus that we were
waiting for) would get home in time to let me into the house. The building that we came from was in the middle of a
barren, dusty field, out in the middle of nowhere.
______________·
Darlene, after reading the whole dream I came to believe that the dream has a word for the Church in general. Being the
dreamer you could very well represent God's prophetic people of the 1990's who hear from the Lord in dreams, visions
and prophecy. If you also represent the Church/Bride of Christ in this dream then your husband represents the
Bridegroom. Here your waiting on your husband to come and pick you up is representative of the Church/Bride waiting for
the coming of the Lord who is the Head (driver) of the Church/Body of Christ (bus) to come and take her home.
The fact that everyone began to go to sleep because of the waiting is probably portraying the situation within
Christendom relative to the second coming of the Lord. This is the situation that Jesus warned about in many of His
parables that addressed His second coming at the time of the end, as in Matthew chapters 24 & 25. This state of
Christendom is further portrayed by the state of the church building and surrounding of your dream. That is, it was in the
middle of a barren and dusty field out in the middle of nowhere, in relation to the direct presence, teaching and leading of
the Holy Spirit.
The suggestion to take one vehicle that was parked in the parking lot may be portraying a ministry move of God prior to
the coming of the Lord. The D&V List has been speaking of a prophetic/apostolic move of God in the late 1990's.

We drove down a long dirt driveway until we came to the main road. There, on either side of the road was a plush forested
area. In our path, barring our way where the driveway met the road was an adolescent moose. It rampaged about, running
in circles, seeming quite irritated. He looked to us to be quite dangerous so we pulled the car over to the side of the
driveway and hoped that it would see its way free so that it would pass us by. Instead, it ran off into the brush on the right
side of the driveway. Once he was gone, we felt it safe to continue and we turned onto the main road, going left.
______________·
In contrast to the barren and dusty land of the church building, the road for the prophetic/apostolic move of God will be
through a plush forested area. That is, the move will be accompanied by richness and abundance of the life in Christ
Jesus for Christians (trees). In the beginning of the movement there will be great obstruction and opposition (barring our
way where the driveway met the road was an adolescent moose).
______________·
Once we were on the main road, none of us were in the vehicle any longer, but instead, we each had our own modes of
transportation. I was on a horse. As for the others, I do not know what they each had. It seems we all went our separate
ways at this point and I had all my attention on the horse that I was riding. I was a bit uncomfortable and unbalanced at
first. I looked down and saw that the horse's hooves did not touch the ground. In fact, with every passing moment and
successive step, we went higher and higher. This caused further disorientation. I grabbed the harness around the horses
strong neck with my fist and secured a solid grip. Suddenly, I felt quite at home and stable.
______________·
On the road of the prophetic/apostolic move of God, there will be the different types of these ministries (we each had our
own modes of transportation). The prophetic stream that embodies dreams and visions and which is represented by a
horse will initially take some time to find balance and be settled (I was a bit uncomfortable and unbalanced at first) but it
will be a prophetic ministry that will function in the heights of heavenly (spiritual) places. Here there will be some
disorientation at first but as long as we hold fast to this calling of God (I grabbed the harness around the horses strong
neck with my fist and secured a solid grip) we will be "at home and stable" in the work of the ministry.
______________·
We continued to climb higher until we were gliding in a light blue sky. We soared and dipped into puffy white clouds. It
was beautiful. Then, out of the sky, planes came diving at us and trying to shoot us from the down. The horse
instinctively performed evasive maneuvers. All the while, I felt no fear and continued to ride with confidence. This
continued for what seemed but a few minutes and the horse, of its own accord, landed gracefully on the ground.
______________
Soaring and gliding in the light blue sky and puffy white clouds portray the prophetic ministry of the late 1990's as moving
in the eagle wings of the Spirit of God. The movement will come under sustained attacks from the forces of darkness but
under the direct teaching and guidance of the Spirit it will overcome all opposition.
_______________
When I dismounted, the horse and the outside were gone. I was in a room which looked much like a library. The floors,
the shelves (containing the books), and the furniture were all of fine woods. The lighting in the room came from the
shelves, over the books. I began to pick out books. I'm not sure exactly what books they were, but I do remember
reading the covers as I pick out each book. And, though I do not remember any of the titles, I do distinctly remember that
these books were of a spiritual nature, meaning books from the Bible, and/or Bible Commentaries etc. In any case, I
gathered so many books in my arms I was well laden with them. Once satisfied that I had all I needed, I exited the room.
______________·
The prophetic movement of the late 1990's will not only function in heavenly places, it will also bring about great
enlightenment of the scriptures to the people of God.
______________·
I stepped out into a town square. The image reminds me of what you might think of during the middle ages when they
would take someone and tie them at a stake in the town square (these folk were all in modern garb, however). But, in this
case, there was an individual in the middle of the square who was surrounded by an angry mob. They were all shouting
unintelligible things. One thing was for sure, they were intent on killing the individual that they had surrounded. When I
took a good look into the person's face who was facing certain death, it was ME!?! My thoughts were, "they are about to
kill this person because they think it is me. They are going to kill the wrong person. I do not want someone to die on my
account. I am willing to die for Jesus myself!"
______________·
The world given to the forces of darkness (a town square during the middle ages) will oppose and persecute God's end
time prophetic people but they will be willing to lay down their lives unto the end, just as their Master Jesus did.
______________·
Darlene, this section of your dream probably alludes to the ministry of the two prophets/witnesses of Revelation chapter
11.
______________·
As I thought these thoughts, the words in the shouts that the people were yelling began to become clear in my ears.
They said, of this person that they were about to kill, "It's the Holy Spirit! It's the Holy Spirit! It's the Holy Spirit!"
______________·
The world's persecution of God's prophets will be related to the fact that the world will recognize the divine supernatural
power in them as that of the Holy Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead (Eph 1:18-23).
______________·
This next part will be the hardest to describe. As they shouted these words, they began to beat this person who looked
like me and whom they were calling the "Holy Spirit". As they beat this person, it was like this person's skin began
unzipping itself, from the top of the head to both ears and it began to peel away in two (2) continuous thick layers (one
half was the front of the person, the other half was the back of the person), like 2 blankets with the person's frontal
features on one blanket and the person's back features on the other blanket. These two pieces of flesh fell to the ground,
slowly, bit by bit, like discarded clothing. Whatever was under the skin, as it peeled away, was invisible (if you'd ever
seen any of the old "Invisible Man" movies as a child, you'd have a good idea of what I'm trying to describe).
______________·
Darlene, this section of your dream is best interpreted by the following scriptures:
Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell.
2Cor 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
2Cor 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not
made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2Cor 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2Cor 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2Cor 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed
upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
1Cor 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Cor 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1Cor 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
______________·
Once the flesh was completely on the ground in a heap, the mob began to disperse and I turned and went back into the
room I had just exited minutes before. Inside there was a woman, whom I know and will not name. But, she represented
to me a person like many other people in a very specific way. She is one who is VERY needy and desirous of attention.
She is one that I've ministered to who requires a lot of time. I saw in her eyes hurt mixed with anger because I was not
giving her the attention she thought she needed. I set down my books and gently held her with my hands by her
shoulders. I felt a swelling of compassion for her and my response was to somehow explain that I did not want to hurt her
and I understood her pain, but God had called me to do a specific work that would not allow the kind of time I had once
spent with her. I had to obey God. She was angry and said a few choice words about how she didn't believe that God had
called me to anything. She picked up some books and began to walk away. I looked on as she left. When I saw the
books that she had, I immediately thought they were the books I had just sat down. I went to her and looked at the
books and sighed a sigh of relief when I realized that they were not my books. I let her go and looked for my own books
and found them on a table.
______________·
Darlene, in this section of your dream the Lord is warning of another form of subtle opposition to the prophetic which is
within the Church. This opposition is portrayed in this dream by the woman who is selfish "very needy and desirous of
attention." Her spirit of opposition is revealed when "she was angry and said a few choice words about how she didn't
believe that God had called me to anything." The fact that she picked up her books from the same room/library as you
perhaps point to the fact that she is also prophetic but a false prophet. Her books are not your books because her spirit
is not the Holy Spirit.
______________·
I went and picked them up, one by one. As I did, I noted that the covers were identical to the covers of some books that I
"actually" do have. They are law reference books: US Court Rules (i.e.. Rules of Evidence, Criminal Rules, Civil Rules,
etc.). Yet, when I read the titles of each book, they were titles of well known poets and their poems. (the titles and
names I do not remember) As I wondered at the significance of these books; why did I have these legal looking books
that were books of poetry, the voice of the Lord came and said: "My prophets are poets."
______________·
God's true prophets have the Word and Spirit of God in them. By the revelation anointing of their prophetic ministry they
understand the books of the Old Testament (law reference books) just as poets understand poetry. It is for this reason
that God said, "My prophets are poets."

Does God Speak?

By Bob Neuman
For years now there has been a debate within this thing called the 'church' about whether certain things are of God, or
not. One of these areas of contention has been the area loosely labeled as "The Prophetic." I cannot use the term
discussion any longer because over the last few years all attempts at civility have been dropped it seems. In the last few
weeks I have seen a new gladiator in the rhetorical arena that is most disturbing.
At one time the issue solely was based on the content of the verbal "utterance" or the written "prophecy." And most
mature Christians could "judge" according to the scriptures as the Bereans did in Act 3:17. In fact Paul's writings make a
point that we are all required to judge everything against the "Word." And as time has passed an interesting series of
"litmus" tests began to spring up.
Instead of seeing whether the content lined up with scripture, the level of critique changed. Instead of pointing out
scriptural error the "Defenders of the Faith" began to point out errors in spelling and punctuation. Grammatical errors and
typos were dug up and "brought to light." The area of debate changed from what he said, to how he said it. Style and
rhythm of delivery was more important that the message itself.
So often the message was "lost".
The next area they centered on was the "Messenger." The message was ignored as the delivery system's conduit was
dissected. The importance of what was said mattered little if the messenger did not fit the criteria. And the can of worms
got bigger. What is the "Reputation" of this individual? What is their title, position, education, affiliation, age, sex,
appearance... So eventually the messenger was "killed."
And foolish me I thought they could now go no farther. The message was lost; the messenger was "killed". The only one
left was the Master, the source of the message. In my mind there was no way they could negate GOD. But it has not
stopped them from trying.
In the last few weeks I have had passed on to me several statements that left me quite amazed. One individual simply
stated that all "extra-biblical" writings were of Satan. Simple statement on his part, no words minced so to speak.
Another biblical scholar was a little wordier but basically said all inspiration has ceased on the compiling of present
canon. Therefore there is no further need for GOD to add to what is presently in the BIBLE. To say that any work has
been "inspired" is an attempt to expand the BIBLE. Any effort to add to or to expand upon canon is not of God. One older
gentleman simply declared that no man has the right to say he speaks for GOD. That is true if we are attempting to
replace GOD, but we are not.
The problem that this older gentleman must deal with is whether GOD chooses to speak through man. He and those who
have stood on these positions have painted themselves into a very curious corner. No longer are they content with
discrediting the message. Assaulting the messenger did not solve the problem. Now they must deal with the source and
this becomes interesting.
At this point I could argue using the simple text of the scripture. But what good would or will it do. To get to their position
they have had to trample and ignore the Word of God repeatedly. To arrive at their destination that GOD no longer does
what God always did we must accept the fact that GOD has changed. In spite of His Own Words in the Bible.
Yet in this "Quantum Leap" they have made there is a unique paradox created. Their argument of whether GOD does or
does not speak today to His people has been expanded to the simple level of "inspiration." GOD no longer inspires....
But when did He stop? They say when canon was completed.
Simple deductive logic would show that if this were true, that all that has transpired for 1900 years has had nothing to do
with GOD. In fact theirs premise declares that everything outside of the Bible is of the enemy - the deceiver.
I guess that lumps all of us with the likes of Luther, Wesley, Chambers, Sturgeon, Moody, Watts, Matthew Henry etc....
But let me turn it all around, logically, deductively, scientifically.
If GOD NO longer speaks, no longer breaths inspiration to those who seek Him, then we indeed have a conundrum.
GOD, according to scripture, breaths ...it is repeated in scripture if anyone cares to look. He does so because HE says
HE IS A LIVING GOD. Again scriptures states this over and over. These so called ''scholars" are saying GOD does not
speak, GOD does not breath.
Any intelligent human knows that when something that is alive ceases to breath, life as we know it ceases. So they are
strongly implying that GOD IS DEAD. Now where have I heard that before?
If my limited memory and intelligence serves me, past so called "scholars" have said the same thing....Voltaire, Nietze,
Marx, Hegel, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler...and this list can go on and on and on ....
But I need to leave the arena and personalize this. As a child I was taught to knell beside my bed and to say "prayers." I
was taught that GOD heard and GOD answered. As a child this gave me peace and comfort. In time I out grew those
prayers and learned religion. And like many I mistook religion for GOD, and was abused and hurt. Many years and many
hurts later I found myself in a pit of my own making.... lost, alone, hopeless, suicidal. Instead of pulling the trigger of a
357 magnum, I prayed in simple desperation. And He answered. Did I hear a "voice". In my case yes. But the answer
was also a sudden peace and comfort I did not ask for, nor did I deserve. When you "hear" His Voice, "feel" His Breath, it
is because you are aware of His Presence in your life.
To say that Almighty GOD cannot, does not, will not speak either to or through His children mocks GOD for being a
loving Father. And if God does not speak any more, what good is prayer? If God hears but is refrained from answering,
why even say that He does hear? Prayer is now a useless babbling without purpose and without effect. Sorry James,
they threw you out with God it seems.
Prayer is conversation, and while I have been the victim of many one sided conversations, to imagine prayer as simply
one sided with GOD being quiet all the time is invalid. Prayer is the sharing of time, ideas, dreams with our ABBA.
Prayer is where fellowship begins. To negate the effective power of prayer fellowship is eliminated. Because fellowship is
where relationship is established the elimination of fellowship prevents all relationship. And without relationship there is
no intimacy without ABBA.
Without intimacy there is no ABBA; period.
And without the love of my ABBA, the presence of His Spirit, the friendship of His Son life is not worth living. As a
modern psalmist sings today "Life would be Hell, and Hell is forever...but Hallelujah!...Blessed be the Lord, and Lamb by
His Side."
Some may say that my whole position is based on some "emotional experience"....my answer is "y-u-p!". both ways. It
is an experience, and it has been emotional. But big deal. If your basic premise leads to "God is dead" I do not expect
your "god" having any 'emotion' either.
It is strange. Joshua said, "choose you this day whom you will serve"...I never anticipated a "modern Christian"
manufacturing a "god" that suits themselves. But I should have. If you do not choose to "serve the LORD", you have to
make up something you will serve.
Will anything I have wrote sway any hearts? I doubt it. Nor do I claim it for anything more than my own thoughts placed
on paper. Am I creating a more pronounced dividing line for the "Us" vs. "them" types that enjoy sitting back and
mocking everyone and anyone. I hope I can do more.
I would love to dig a huge trench and line it with razor wire to separate the wolves from my Master's Lambs and Sheep.
But the wolves within the fold have always sought the weakest and the defenseless. So if I cannot separate them maybe
I can keep the wolves occupied with me while their time runs out.

Go On Gideon
A Song from Sally Perry
In Response to the Pacific NorthWest Word
I'm too excited to even finish the message! I must reply that for months, I have been given this song title and have been
meaning to write the song to go with it. The title: "Go On Gideon".
With the verses you've mentioned, I've written a first draft of my song. I'm in a recording studio tomorrow (PRAY FOR
ME!!!), so will mention it there and see if others are inspired as I am.
Go On Gideon
<chorus:>
Go on Gideon, take the fire
Up to the mountain top;
Go on Gideon, higher and higher
Up on the mountain top.
Go in your power, man of valour

For I have named you well;
Call ev'ry nation to my salvation,
Storming the gates of Hell.
<chorus>
Turn from your ways and give me the praise;

Now is the time to rise!
Show me the hands from ev'ry land;
Lift them unto the skies.
<chorus>

Greater Grace for 98

by Roy Roden
New Year's prophecy for 1998

Each year it is our custom to wait upon the Lord for a prophetic word for the New Year. The following prophecy was
recorded and transcribed for circulation.
All prophecy is to be judged by the body of Christ and found to be in accordance with the Holy scriptures. Prophecy is
also progressive in nature as all the events given at this time may not unfold this year but on an ongoing basis.
The following prophetic word came through Michelene Blake of Mokulumne Hill, California. I have included my personal
commentary on the word for 98. This is not the entire revelation, but in light of the overall view, it helps us to understand
what God is saying to us and how to respond and prepare for what lies ahead.
I do not make the presumption to claim that I have an understanding of all that God is doing or saying as I do not. I only
see and know in part. It takes all the members of the church working together to complete the entire message and
revelation. When this occurs, the message will be loud and clear. To sum it up in a Word, the message and revelation is
Jesus.
And the Lord would say:

"This is a New Year and I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. For by my Spirit I have blown across
the lands and removed debris and chaff and particles of past defeats, discouragement, and the filthy rags of
unrighteousness.
Now I shall impart New Grace to my own, my loved ones that have chosen me, those who have purposed in
their hearts to serve me.
I will blow again, now, and it shall bring resurrection life to the faint, to the weary; to those who languish in
the Valley of Defeat.
I say rise up children! Stand upon your feet for your God this day has spoken that the enemy of your soul has
been defeated by my Spirit, saith God. And I have set you in a sure place, it is a place of victory.
Victory is great in 98."
Commentary
Greater grace for 1998
This is the year of release. God is promising to do a New Thing, which is the
outpouring of His Spirit upon His chosen people. This will end the long spiritual
draught to renew, revive, and restore spiritual life with vitality back to the church.
As well as a the outpouring of His Spirit upon the church, a special promise of New
Grace will be imparted to His own. This promise is given to those who have chosen
Jesus, above all else, to follow Him. Their love for Jesus is evident as they endured
the many trials and tribulations with patience, for judgement has begun in the house of
the Lord. Those who have endured to receive the lesson rather than the blessing, being
tried with fire, will now receive New Grace to walk as over comers with Jesus. This
grace will be imparted to them by the Lord Himself. These are like the chosen one's of
Gideon's army, reduced from thousands to a mere 300. Many are called but few are
chosen. They will receive greater grace to overcome the enemy of the people and be used
to do great exploits.
God also promises to breath His breathe of life upon the slain bones of Israel. This
resurrection power will be given to those who are faint, weary, languishing in defeat
to arise again and be renewed with Spiritual life and vitality. This is also the grace
of God.
God concludes the message with the exhortation to rise up and stand on your feet. We
are to rise up to declare the decree-Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is
the year to arise to the Lord in worship and praise, to do warfare to set the captives
free.
It is because of the greater measure of God's grace that will be poured out to do a New
Thing, that Victory will be great in 1998.
To sum up the highlights for the above. The "New Thing" is an outpouring of God's
Spirit upon the Church. New Grace will be imparted to His chosen ones for anointing and
ministry. Resurrection power will be given to renew and revive many. We are told to
Rise Up, for Jesus is Lord of Lord's and King of Kings. Victory will be great in 98.
The following is a commentary line by line of the prophecy to expound on the message.
The spiritual draught is over

The Lord states in the first sentence that: "This is a New Year and I will do a new
thing." The scripture reference for this is found in Isaiah 43:19-22;
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I
will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field
shall honor me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and
rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. This people have I formed
for myself; they shall show forth my praise."
The "New Thing" coming is an outpouring of God's Spirit that God will give to His
people that will restore life to a dry parched land in the wilderness to those who are
dying of thirst.
The main reason for God giving waters in the wilderness is revealed in the last
sentence, that His people may show forth His praise. We are to know and realize that as
God pours out His Spirit with a greater measure of grace, that we are to give Him
praise. This is why we are told in the prophecy to "Rise and Stand upon our feet"' that
we may give Him the glory and worship Him who is Lord of Lord's and King of Kings.
The promise of water springing forth is a welcome relief to the spiritual drought that
is present in our churches and spiritual life. There has been a very long dry period in
the life of many believers. This draught has caused much damage to the roots and fruits
of Christians due to a lack of moisture. Consider Amos. 8:11;
"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, that I will send a famine on the
land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the
Lord."
The effects of a drought does not occur all at once but over time due to the continuous
lack of moisture. As an example, in the natural realm California had six continuos
years of drought. With each passing year the water supply became more scarce as the
water reserves in the reservoirs became depleted. Eventually water rationing was
implemented to conserve water. This severely effected the quality and amount of fruit
being produced by the agricultural industry.
In the same vein of thought, their has been a continuos spiritual draught in the life
of many believers. With each passing year, their roots have become more withered and
the fruit of their labors diminishing due to the lack of moisture and nourishment.
(Without water, nutrients are not able to be absorbed)
Praise God, the spiritual drought is over. The word of the Lord that came to me a
number of years ago when the drought in California was finally over in 1992 that, "As
dry as it has been during the dry years, so shall it be wet during the wet years." It
is going to get pretty wet as the drought was extremely dry.
Some states have seen great floods, especially in the spring seasons. This has been
happening but the worst is yet to come. As the water accumulates in the reservoirs and
they are filled to capacity, they will spill into the rivers adding water to the banks
that are already swollen due to the runoff from the saturation of the soil.
Since the draught, there has been a number of years of continuous wet weather on the
West Coast, each year being more wet than the previous one. Christians should expect to
see an outpouring that will be as drenching to the soil of their hearts as it was dry
during the drought. Expect this "New Thing" of God pouring out His Spirit to increase
with each passing year.
Discern the times

The precipitation that is falling in the natural signifies that which is and will take
place in the spiritual. This year we have the big one, El Nino. This warm inshore
current is the cause of a great out pouring of moisture across America that began in
late 1997. EL Nino is a Spanish word meaning the (Christ) Child, because it occurs hear
Christmas. This is an indication of the tidal wave of God's outpouring that is to come
during the wet years. (Many others have been shown this "tidal" wave) For those who are
prepared and positioned in Christ, look out for the windows of heaven are going to be
opened. The spiritual effect of El Nine will be felt throughout America for some time.
Spiritually speaking, New England is a very dry region for there has been a famine in
the land for many years. So many people from all walks of life and denominations are
thirsty for the Spirit of God. Even a drop of dew from heaven is appreciated and is
soaked up immediately. As God pours out His Spirit, many thirsty souls will welcome the
outpouring. (There is a famine occurring in many parts of the United States as well as
New England.)
The outpouring of God's spirit will be a blessing to God's people and to those who will
receive it. To those who refuse to bow before God and the regions where spiritual
strongholds exist, will be adversely effected as the works of darkness and the works of
man will be devastated due to the ice storms, flooding, wind storms, hail, heavy
accumulations of snow etc.
This is indicated in the natural when rain fell down into cold regions of New England
that caused an "ice storm." The ice storm started on January 7, 1998 and lasted for
nearly a week. The ice formed when rain fell onto the cold trees, causing the water to
freeze on the branches. The landscape throughout New England (especially Maine) was
covered with trees that snapped like tooth picks due to the weight of the ice. Many of
the trees looked like horseshoes, as they bent over touching the ground due the weight
of their burden. Many of the trees fell bringing power lines down with them. This
caused a major widespread power outage to thousands of homes and businesses. The state
of Maine was especially hard hit by this catastrophic event.
Those who resist the outpouring of God's Spirit will see rain freezing upon them due to
the coldness of their hearts. They will bend over bowing to the earth, some breaking
under the weight of the ice. When the Holy Spirit rains upon the earth, ice will form
in any region that is super chilled (people) due to their cold state. (tradition,
religion, stubbornness, rebellion, unbelief, pride, occults, ism's etc.)They will find
ice forming upon them as they become hardened to resist the move of God (like pharaoh)
until they snap and topple over. As they fall, spiritual strongholds will be broken, as
they fall down across power lines interrupting the power flow of man and Satan.
The trees that snap in two and those that fall over will be "cut away" to make way for
`New Plantings" and "New growth." New England will surely become "New" England.
Of course, New England is not the only region that has been effected by unusual types
of precipitation. Great flooding has occurred on the West Coast, Midwest, the deep
South, and Florida. There will surely be a "washing" away of soil and materialism that
is not rooted in Christ.
Just as the type and amount of precipitation may vary in the natural in the form of
ice, sleet, snow, hail, and rain, so shall it be in the Spiritual. Some geographical
regions may experience revival, while another area renewal. Some areas will come under
a strong anointing for conviction that will purge and prune the saints (Judgement) of
their sins followed by God's mercy. Others may experience a tremendous awakening,
arising with new life to become spirit filled churches demonstrating the resurrection
power of Christ while other regions that have been planted by the Lord and flourishing,
will see rain fall in due season for an abundant harvest.
Judgement must first begin in the house of God. (1 Peter 4:17) Before God judges the
nations, He will pour out His spirit upon His people. This will end the spiritual
drought, but under the fire of the Holy Spirit, many will be convicted of their sins.
Along with God's judgement, mercy will follow as the grace of God is quick to restore,
heal, and deliver. It would be wise in preparation for the outpouring to come, to judge
ourselves to be sure that we are standing right with God before He judges us.
Those who desire to be wiser will ask God to judge them to be examined and proved, for
God to try the reins of their heart as King David did, a man after God's own heart.
(Psalms 26:1-12)
Rivers of Life Springing forth

The next statement of the prophecy is, "Now it shall it spring forth" implies that now
is the day of relief. Now is the time for water to come out of the rock in the
wilderness. Just as the children of Israel and their livestock were thirsty and dying
due to a lack of water, God provided a miracle to quench the famine. Moses by the word
of the Lord, struck the rock and water gushed out. As we are obedient to follow and
speak the Word of the Lord, water will spring forth. Can you imagine how large a spring
of water this must have been to quench the thirst of millions of people and their
livestock in the desert? It was rather a large river of life.
Allow God to use you to "speak to the rock" to bring forth rain to your church and the
surrounding region. Ask, and you shall receive! Pray for spiritual rain, letting your
request be known unto God, thanking Him for the abundance of all things.
The purging and Pruning Process

The next prophetic sentence is: "For by my Spirit I have blown across the lands and
removed debris and chaff and particles of past defeats, discouragement and the filthy
rags of unrighteousness."
For many years now, there has been an increasing work of the Holy Spirit to separate
the wheat from the chaff. The good seeds from the tares, the sheep from the goats and
those who will from those who won't. God is calling His people to "Come out and be
separate." Although one can make the claim that God has been doing this redemption work
ever since the fall of Adam, the present work of the Holy Spirit has increased with an
intensity to purge the believers in His church.
Why are we going through all this? Many ask as they go from one trial to another.
Consider 1 Peter 4:2,16-17;
"That we no longer should live the rest of our time in the flesh to the lusts of men,
but to the will of God."
"Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glory on God
on this behalf. For the time that judgement must begin at the house of God: and if it
first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"
Consider the words of Jesus:
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not
fruit, he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may
bring forth more fruit." (John 15:1-2;)
This pruning and purging time in the believers life is like the Fall season of the
year, the time when the foliage that is seen is beautiful and brilliant in color, but
in reality, the beautiful fall colors of autumn are but dead leaves. As soon as the
wind blows, they fall to the ground as they have no life and is nothing but dead weight
to the tree. We must come to the cross to be cleansed of all that which is dead and has
no purpose in our lives. Our dead works, though brilliant in color, are but filthy rags
of unrighteousness and must fall away.
After the Fall season comes the time when Winter sets in and the trees become dormant,
waiting to be resurrected in the Spring season with new life. Without the leaves, the
wind simply goes through the trees without much effect. If the trees were to keep the
dead leaves of Fall, they would not be able to stand up against the wind and storms
that blow with a strong force. The dead leaves would resist the force of the wind
causing the tree to blow over. A person who continues to hold onto their dead works,
will not be able to stand up against the storms and forces that lie ahead. If you want
the blessings of Spring, you must go through the Fall season to "let go and let God."
Abide in the love of Christ as you lie dormant throughout the winter season, and you
will find rest as you patiently endure the harsh cold elements of Winter.
Every Christian who calls Jesus Lord is in one stage or another of being pruned. This
"pruning" process by the Lord has effected every believer in every household throughout
the land. Christians everywhere are going through many storms traveling through rough
seas.
It is while going through these storms that our true character and nature is revealed.
Do we serve the Lord with joyfulness, and gladness of heart thanking Him for the
abundance of all things? (Deuteronomy 28:47) Do we enter His gates with thanksgiving in
our hearts and His courts with praise? (Psalms 100:4) Do we lay our burdens upon Him,
letting our request be known unto God with thanksgiving? (Philippians 4:6)) Or are we
like the children of Israel who murmured, complained, chided and criticized the
leadership while going through the wilderness. They who do such things remain in the
wilderness as wanderers as they are not able to inter into God's rest, nor are they
able to come into the promise land to inherit their blessing.
We are to embrace trials with joy for the life changing lesson rather than to seek the
blessing. The believer who responds to the work the Lord is doing within them, will
soon find greater grace that Jesus glory may be revealed. Consider the words of the
apostle Peter;
"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though
some strange thing happened to you. But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of
Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with
exceeding joy."
(1 Peter 4:12-13)
New Grace
Their is a promise in the next statement to those who have faithfully served the Lord
that " Now I shall impart New grace to my own, my loved ones that have chosen me, those
who have purposed in their hearts to serve me.'
For those who have responded to the call and endured, will now be given New Grace.
Those who have been faithful in the least, will now be given much. Those who have been
good stewards of the manifold grace of God and have used their talents wisely, will now
be given more. Those who have ears to hear and hearkened to the word of the Lord, will
now hear more of the Lord's Word as they have proven to be doers of God's word.
This last Spring, I was standing on a large rocky ledge that protruded far above the
ocean shore. From my dry advantage point I was able to view the roaring waves rushing
to shore below me and the ocean waves that lay in turmoil across the vast ocean. The
wind was blowing hard on this rainy day. The sea was being tossed about by the tempest
of the storm. In awe, I lifted up my hands towards heaven and was praising God for this
wonderful, powerful, dynamic sight when suddenly, a large wave came up and over the
high ledge swooping down catching me by surprise, drenching me in salt water. I laughed
as I lifted my face into the wind. Looking up towards heaven and said to the Lord, "Is
this what I get for praising you!"
For a couple of days I was puzzled over how that wave reached up so high on what seemed
to be a dry safe ledge. I sensed that the unexpected wave was the Lord hand's showing
me that He is going to bless His people with an outpouring of His Spirit.
The chosen ones of God who have endured with patience and are running the race, shall
receive the anointing for end time ministries as deliverer's of God's people. Notice
the word used is "impart" New Grace to His own. This New Grace will come by the hand of
God as He personally anoints His own saying "well done my faithful servant."
It is recorded in Daniel 11:32 that the people who know their God shall be strong and
do exploits. Expect greater exploits to be done by His people as this special grace is
given. I see new territory being taken and captives being set free because of this
special grace. (Acts 4:8,31,13:9)
I would like to exhort the reader who has gone through a great deal of trials and
tribulations, not to be weary in well doing, for in due season, you shall reap.
Resurrection Life
The next prophetic statement is: "I will blow again, now, and it shall bring
resurrection life to the faint, to the weary; to those who languish in the Valley of
Defeat."
As the spiritual thirst of God's people is quenched and strength returns to the dry
bones in the body of Christ, healing of the mind, body, soul, and spirit will occur.
Times of refreshing and renewing will revive many. The dead bones of Ezekiel's
graveyard will now arise out of their graves.
This is the saving grace of God, for it is not God's will that any should perish. "A
bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he sends
forth judgement in victory." (Math. 12:20) Those who have been tormented and vexed in
their soul, languishing in defeat will find victory over their sins as well as
spiritual strongholds broken. The heart of God is that none should perish.
Their are many ways in which God may release His resurrection power aside from the
general outpouring of His spirit, such as through the Apostolic/ Prophetic movement
that now exist. I have refereed more to this at the end of the commentary as well a
number of different ways which God may releases His grace that is typical to the
Christian walk.
Rise Up
And the next statement is; "I say rise up children, stand upon your feet for your God this day has
spoken that the enemy of your soul has been defeated by my Spirit."
This exhortation requires a deliberate response from us to act in obedience and say,
"Yes Lord, I will rise." Rise up to His throne to worship and praise Him in Spirit and
in Truth. Arise each day to enter into prayer and meditate upon His word. Arise to the
occasion when you sense the unction of the Lord, to respond and say, "Yes Lord, here I
am" to be a doer of the word.
The best way for anyone to rise up to be filled with the Holy Spirit is to Worship and
Praise the Lord. The more one can do this on a regular basis, the sooner one find's
themselves in the presence of God, partaking of His life, love and light. (God inhabits
the praises of His people.)
The best way for any church to rise up and become renewed with Spiritual life and
vitality is to enter into a time of Worship and Praise. This often requires some
changes in the leadership as there is a vast difference between a song leader who leads
a song service than that of a worship leader who is anointed to lead people into
worship. Every church needs a worship leader. Just as God anoints and appoints pastors
and teachers to do the same through preaching and teaching, God anoints and appoints a
worship leader for the ministry of worship. A true leader of worship will cause the
people "to arise" to the throne of God to worship Him in spirit and in truth knowing
that God will respond as He inhabits the praises of His people.
Their will be a "new thing" happening in the heavens among God's prophetic people as
they arise to His throne in the dance, in the praise, in prophetic psalming, teaching
and preaching and prophesying that will release God's anointing from heaven. Consider
Psalms 149:1,7-9;
"Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation
of the saints. To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron. To execute upon
them the judgement written: this honor have all the saints."
Stand up on your feet

As we arise to God to stand on our feet to worship Him, we are to arise above our
situation and circumstances as we stand complete in Jesus. We are not to lie down in
defeat while the enemy walks all over us. Jesus is saying to those who have been sick
with the palsy, "Arise, take up your bed and walk".
According to the New World Dictionary, Palsy is a state of paralysis where voluntary
muscles have become paralyzed due to some disorder in the nervous system. If you are
spiritually paralyzed unable to use your muscles, "rise up and walk." You are no longer
to be lying down, but rise up and walk with the Lord. Consider the words of Jesus to
the man who was sick with palsy; (Math. 9:2,6-7)
"And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus
seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy, Son be of good cheer; your sins be
forgiven you."
"But that you may know that the Son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, Arise,
take up your bed, and go unto your house. And he arose and departed to his house."
Jesus has already paid the debt for your sins. Many Christians who are no longer in sin
have asked God for forgiveness but still remain paralyzed and immobile due to the
torment they have in their soul. This torment has it's roots in shame, guilt,
insecurity, rejection, fear, unforgiveness, depression and oppression. when Jesus is
saying to them, "Be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven," and they can just simply
Arise, and take up their bed and walk!
If your are immobilized by sin, prepare yourself for the outpouring that is coming by
allowing God to examine your heart to:
"Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times
of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, and He shall send Jesus Christ,
which before was preached to you."
Abide in Christ
And the next statement is: "For I have set you in a sure place, it is a place of
victory." I would like to quote Psalms 91:1 & 2;
"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty. I will say of the Lord He is my refuge and my fortress; my God; in him
will I trust."
The secret place is no other than abiding in Christ and His love. The place in God's
heart where we enter through worship and praise. To stand complete in Him, who is the
rock of our salvation.
You must dwell in the love of the Lord, staying close to His heart in order to abide
under His wings. In Him we shall trust. His truth shall be our shield and buckler. Only
this will protect us from the storm that is coming upon America. It is in this secret
place that we shall be protected from the snare of the fowler, the noisome pestilence,
the terror by night, the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that walks in
darkness; the destruction that waste at noonday. (Psalms 91:1-16)
I have seen a vision of a huge black cloud looming on the horizon off the ocean. This
storm is fierce and will be coming upon America. Since then, I have heard of many
others who have been shown many things in regards to this. America will be judged
(unless she repents) and though she shall not die, will fall to her knees until all
that remains is the word of the Lord. Then she shall arise as a sheep nation to spread
the gospel. In the meantime, judgement begins first in the house of the Lord.
Victory is Great in 1998

The last statement of the word of prophecy for 98 is: "Victory is great in 98." The following is a
commentary on some of the ways in which God can do this.
The Year of Release

Just before the New Year, the word came to me stating that I was released financially,
spiritually, emotionally, and mentally from the strongholds of my enemies that had
occurred in the past. It is for me a "Year of Release" that I may be able to serve the
Lord with all of my heart, mind, and soul. A year of jubilee that I may be completely
free for whom the Son has set free is free indeed. It was just seconds after midnight
of the New Year when I felt a weight lift off me and I felt a beautiful lightness in my
soul. I have since experienced a release from those areas that were hindering my life
with a greater grace for ministry and a rejoicing spirit within me.
When the Lord speaks, He calls forth those things that are not as though they are. I
love this about the prophetic word of God. (Romans 4:17) I have often experienced this
spiritual blessing to obtain the promise simply by receiving and believing the word by
faith. I feel the release, even long before He has performed it.
Oh the peace, love and joy I feel. Praise God for the areas of my life that were once
paralyzed and immobile are now being healed as I take up my bed and walk.
Reaping what one has sown

Over the years I have seen a vision of ocean waves rolling continuously one after
another to shore. I understood that the waves represent God's out pouring of blessings
one wave after another. Many Christians who have been obedient to hearken and follow
the Lord, will be overtaken with many blessings. This is reaping what they have sown.
Consider Deuteronomy 28:1-2;
"And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord
your God, to observe and to do all His commandment which I command you this day, that
the Lord your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth. And all these
blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall hearken unto the voice of
the Lord your God."
Great grace in 98 is available as God repays His servants with blessing after blessing
for their faithfulness to them who have hearkened and obeyed His voice, for they shall
reap that which they have sown.
Plant good seeds

Those who have planted seeds in the past, will continue to reap the fruit of their labor this year. Likewise for each seed
sown, whether good or bad, will produce life or death after it's own kind. Grace in 98 is available to break the curse to
those that have sown seeds of discord, jealousy, envy, anger, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc through slander, gossip,
back biting, lying, being a false witness etc. If you have sown bad seed through the misuse of your tongue, time, tithe,
and talent, repent and do the first works by returning to your first love. The blood of Jesus will not only cleanse you but
break the curse that follows you. Plant new seeds by lifting up, exhorting, edifying, speaking words of life through prayer,
prophecy, scriptures, songs, spiritual and natural gifts as you yield your members to Christ for His glory. Now is the time
to plant for the harvest to come as God removes the weed seeds in your life. In order to receive a continuous harvest, you
must continuously plant new seeds, as well as to nurture the growth of past seedlings. If your are nurturing weed seeds,
be sure to allow God to pull them out by their roots as they will compete with the good seeds of God, robbing you of a
healthy spiritual life and vitality.
If you want to be saturated with God's life to overflowing, be sure to allow your heart to become good fertile soil. Good soil
comes from being plowed over to remove the stumps, weeds, and rocks that is necessary in order to provide good fertile
soil for the good seed that is planted in the Spring to produce an abundant harvest in the Fall. Soil that is soft and pliable
will receive moisture that nourishes the seed, but water runs off the surface of hard soil. Jesus teaches us through the
parable of the sower what happens to the word of God that is sown in hard stony ground.(Mark 4:2-22) Know that if you
are going through trials and tribulations, rejoice, for the soil of your heart is being worked over to become good fertile soil
to receive good seed that will produce a harvest in your life.
Get out of debt

In this day of prosperity, one of the greatest temptations facing Christian is what they do with their time and wealth. To
often, prosperity leads us to focus our time and attention upon the cares of this world, causing us to become weak in
Spiritual vitality and life. The prosperity that is given to us is also God's grace. One of the main reasons for the recent
teachings on prosperity is God is wanting His people to get us out of debt and to help others who are in need through the
ministry of giving. We are commanded by Jesus to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and to "Come and
Follow Me." As we follow Jesus, He will provide. I have learned this lesson the hard way. Having made a small fortune, I
was not obedient to the Lord to get out of debt. Rather I found myself getting further in debt with the pretense of making
more money to further God's Kingdom. I actually believed by doing this, I was following the Lord! Instead of using my
wealth wisely, it was using me. God took care of my deception in His own way!
There is grace available this year to get free of the credit system. The windows of opportunity is closing fast as there is
an economic collapse coming soon, then it will be to late! God is going to remove prosperity from this nation to cause a
shaking and quaking throughout the land. America will be purged until all that remains is the Word. Then, she shall be
filled with the Lord's glory. The wise need to heed this now to prepare. Those who are not prepared will be servants of the
credit system rather than free men as servants of God. Pray for wisdom in how to this and follow through.
The Spirit of Joy

This is also God's grace as this will be imparted by the Lord that will renew many tired souls to refresh the inner man
with newness of life. As God's joy fills His people, the spirit of laughter will wash away their tears, anxieties, concerns,
discouragement, and depression, to replace the spirit of heaviness with a garment of praise. This will release many
Christians to live with a freedom to enjoy their lives as they enter into the rest of God.
So many Christians have toiled faithfully for years, carrying their burden knowing that in due season they shall reap.
Many are tired and weary from the weight they are carrying. Others have sat down too tired and discouraged to rise
again. Many have suffered from heartbreak, discouragement, depression and in general, tired from the monotonous
routine of every day duties and responsibilities of life. God is wanting to impart new life, vision and spiritual vitality to His
own.
The spirit of laughter that falls upon God's people at various times is the joy of the Lord which is our strength. It is called
the spirit of laughter as those who are touched by this will laugh uncontrollably. Some roll on the floor unable to get up
while others act silly, laughing at everything and anything. Instead of adults, they act much like children. And in fact, that
is what we become when God touches us this way, His children. Children do not feel the weight and responsibilities that
adults do for they do not have to toil and labor. They enjoy life and take pleasure in being alive leaving the complexities of
life up to their parents. It is to be the same with God's children. Jesus said;
"Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls."
(Ma. 11:28-29)
Suddenly, under the Spirit of joy, it is imparted to Christians that all things are in the hands of their heavenly Father. They
can let go and let God to rest in Him. This releases them from the cares of this world knowing once again the joyful
sound of victory. A new zest and zeal for life replaces the spirit of heaviness as God's joy washes away all their burdens,
cares, anxieties, and concerns.
I have experienced this joy at various times in my Christian life. The spirit of laughter released me from all the tension,
anxiety and concerns that was weighing me down. Afterwards, I would feel fresh, cleansed and renewed in my inner man,
knowing that God was in full control.
Apostolic Faith
I believe that God will pour out upon His people the same grace that was poured out upon the people of the early church.
This was evident by the powerful witness of the resurrection of Christ as revealed through the ministry of the apostles.
This great grace will come as a result of the complete restoration of the ministry of the apostles (and prophets) as they
take their place in body of Christ. In Acts 4:33 it is recorded that:
"And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all."
Just as we are to receive a prophet in the name of a prophet to receive a prophets reward, (Math. 10:41) the church is to
receive and accept the ministries of the apostles in order to receive the greater grace of God. In Acts 4:33, the scriptures
states the purpose for this great grace:
"And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all."
Jesus wants to be seen in our midst. He is risen and He is Lord.
I believe in 98, Apostles and Prophet teams will be raised up and sent out by the Lord to preach the gospel with greater
power and authority that will testify of the risen Lord.
Restoration of five fold ministries of Christ.

With the recent restoration of the ministry of the Prophet and Apostles to the body of Christ, all five Ascension gifts of
Christ can function together to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry.
The hand of God consist of five fingers which is the ministry of Christ the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and
Teacher. (Ephesians 4:4-15) With all five fingers working together, joined in unity, the hand of God will move and there will
come a great outpouring of rain upon the land.
Consider the story of Elijah who was commanded by God to look toward the sea for God said, "There is a sound of
abundance of rain." Elijah looked and it came to pass at the seventh time that he saw a little cloud arise out of the sea
that looked like a man's hand. Soon the sky became black with clouds and wind and there was a great rain. (1 Kings
18:41-46) The hand of God is now on the horizon. Soon, there will be a great rain. We are now hearing the sound of it.
With this abundance of rain, the body of Christ will be able to mature and bear fruit. The purpose of the 5-fold ministries of
Christ is: (Eph. 4:12)
"For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."
Every born again spirit filled believer has been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit within each individual is the
grace of God given to empower them for the work of the ministry. For the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man
to profit withal. To one is given the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge; to another faith; to another the gifts
of healing; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discernment of spirits; to another different
kinds of tongues; to another interpretation of tongues, the Spirit dividing to every man severally as He wills.(1 Cor. 12:7-
11)
The purpose of the fivefold ministries of Christ is to help the saint function under the anointing of the Holy Spirit to be led
and directed by the Spirit of God to empower their lives with God's presence. As each saint is motivated, moved and
matured in their personal lives and ministry, they will function and flow in their ministries and gifts.
As each member of Christ comes together bone to bone and joint to joint under the headship of Christ, they will minister
to the needs of one another. Can you image the glory and power that will be seen when the church is operating with all of
the grace of God through the fivefold ministries of Christ, the gifts of the Holy spirit, and the administrations of God, all
flowing together in the love of the Father?
Riches of His Grace

God is raising up a strong army of anointed believers filled with His grace. (The glory of the latter house shall be greater
than the former) They will fight effectively under the banner of love to deliver God's people to set the captives free from
their deceptions and sins. To set free the saints who have become persecutors of the brethren, abusers of the tongue
who manipulate and control through gossip, slander, false accusations, being followers of tradition and religion, filled with
pride and the cares of this world. Many saints are unaware, like Samson, that the Sprit of God has departed, they are
wretched and poor for they have been taken captive by the enemy of their soul. The greatest battle ever to be fought and
won will be God's army fighting against Satan's army to deliver God's people from their deception.
Another great battle that will be raged will take place in the church as God addresses the doctrines and traditions of men
saying, "Let my people go, that they may worship and serve Him upon the Holy Mount."
The army of God that is being raised up will be filled with the Father's love and thus they will be able to say as recorded
in Luke 4:18;
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to
heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised."
Those who are walking in forgiveness and love will ascend to Jesus to partake of the Father's love to receive their daily
bread. Being filled with God's grace, they will walk with the understanding that the greatest weapon that can be used to
defeat the enemy is love, for love never fails. Love will be the power that will destroy the works of the devil. Love is the
banner over which the end time Christian must move and have His being in Christ. (For power is corruptive without love.)
This is the power that will deliver the end time saints from the deception and strongholds of the enemy. This is the
greatest grace that God has given to His people. There is a great tidal wave of God's grace of love coming to rejuvenate
and restore those who are positioned and standing in Him.
In Conclusion;
"The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It
shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the
excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye the
weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God
will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; and he will come and save you. then the eyes of the blind shall
be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the
dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall
become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with
reeds and rushes." (Isaiah Chapter 35:1-7)
"For now, saith the Lord to my church, the latter rain is upon you."

God the Protector:

Thomas Gibson
Who shall be the protector of you, says the Lord? Who shall be the protector?
I am, if you choose My ways. There are those who will tell you, you are fools to believe the word of God.
There's such a strong movement of the devil. Such a strong movement to belittle anything that is remotely of Me. And
they shall belittle you.
But take the time to stand up and defend My word. For there are times to come, which they shall remember what you
say now. Oh, they shall laugh at you, and they shall curse you, and they shall make fun of you.
But in times to come, when the judgment falls, they'll remember what you said. They'll remember the hard times that you
said would come, that you said the prophets prophecies, that you said the prophets were about to bring forth into this
world by the word of the Living God.
For have you not understood this: there are prophets prophecy -- they speak the word of God, when God speaks through
them it shall come to pass. You read of Elijah: when he said it wasn't to rain, it didn't rain; when he said it was to rain,
well it rained. So it shall be with the prophets to come and even that are here now. When they say something shall
occur, it shall happen!
And oh, they shall rise up and say, "Fools and idiots." But after it happens, they will remember who prophesied what,
who defended what, who is standing for the word of God.
And oh, the richest people in the world shall persecute you, and the judgment shall come upon the world. But there are
those that will quietly listen to everything you say -- they may be the one that laughed the loudest at you, call you the
greatest names of all blasphemes, but they'll remember what you said. So here them and know that they have been won
to salvation, not at the time that they repented, but years before when you would stand for the word of God no matter
what.
Some of you are afraid of persecution, afraid to stand up and say, "Here am I, a Christian. I believe the word, I believe the
prophets, I believe God." Stand up, let them laugh, and there'll be a reward unto you when those people repent later on,
says the Lord God.
Persecution in United States: April 10, 1998
This time is coming when the good people of God shall have to run and hide from the authorities that shall seek them to
persecute them, to jail them, and to harm them.
For there is coming a time when persecution shall hit even United States country, and they shall come after My people in
great numbers, because they can't touch Me for My judgment upon them, but they will seek those who are of Me to
persecute them.
Stand fast in this time, for I am with you, even to the ends of this earth.

Prophetic Words for Jan 98

Gunnar Johnson

Behold, my light has come and the new day is beginning to dawn! The hopes and fears of countless years are centered

victory is won, so come, come everyone! Rest in me and I will lift the tiredness from your soul. The weariness of despair
will disappear, as you draw near. The suddenness of my appearance will take you by surprise and I will wipe the tears
from your eyes. Throw yourself at my feet, in total surrender to my love. You will experience the Father's blessing, as it
comes upon you from above. Open doors of opportunity will stand before you and my Spirit will guide you through to a life
filled with awe. The wind of my Spirit has begun to blow and it will carry you far beyond the limits you've seen. It is in the
humility of faith that great visions are born. Come expectantly to my throne of grace and you will see the glory of my
face, shining down upon you!
Love,
JESUS.
Isaiah 9:2-7
Gunnar M. Johnson
The light of my countenance is shining upon you! I have set you free to believe in me and to trust in me for all eternity.
The glow of my Spirit is filling you for all to see. His fire is burning brightly in you. You have been polished by the events
of time to reflect my glory and to honor my Name. There will be a time of peace to recuperate from the battles. Then the
upheavals will begin, as I start to turn the world up side down. The prince of this world will grow frantic, as he begins to
lose control. The power of my Holy Spirit will be more fully released in my people. There will be a tremendous tidal wave
of my Holy Spirit, which will inundate the whole earth. Strongholds and structures will topple before it. The Father is
reclaiming what is his before the new earth comes in to being. Those, who have experienced the new birth will joyfully
welcome what is happening. They will know it for what it is. Be ready for your orders, as the light of my new day begins
to break on the horizon of time. You are my beloved and you have been sealed in my Holy Spirit. You bear my stamp of
ownership upon you. It is the sign of my cross, which you carry within you. All who believe will receive the fullness of my
majesty. Your worship of the Father will become a way of life. Your devotion to the Father will increase. You will find
yourself standing in his presence, exalting his holy Name. Heaven and earth will be a simultaneous location for you. Your
hearts will burn with a fervor and zeal for the glory of my Kingdom. You and my Spirit will walk as one! My steadfast
mercy will flow from your life as an unending stream. The anointing I have given you will explode in a mighty outpouring
upon those around you!
Love,
JESUS
Mark 13:23-33
Gunnar M. Johnson
I spread before you a valley. It is filled with people from every tribe and nation. Over it is a great cloud of my glory filled
with the latter rain of my Spirit. Lightning flashes are coming down from heaven above. It is the Father's way of releasing
the rain upon the people. When it comes, it will be a flood that fills the valley from wall to wall. All will be covered by my
presence and there will be no divisions there. One will be like another, all filled with my love. There will be no gaps for all
will be joined together with one mind and one voice. There are other valleys where my cloud will move and the flood will
come. Hearts are being prepared to receive the rain of my Spirit. There has been a stillness and some have begun to
wonder, if what they have seen will remain. The danger is that you have sought to contain what I have poured out. You
have been tempted to believe that what you have received was the final move of my Spirit. I have already moved on to
what I have intended to do with you. Let go of what was! Allow the wind of my Spirit to carry you higher and higher to
where my eagles soar. The condition of men is no match for the will of the Father. He is almighty and reigns supreme
over all! Even your questions and your doubts cannot hinder what he has planned. There are decisions to be made, as to
whether you will go with me or stay where you are. Some have begun to struggle with their situation because they need
to let go and follow where my Spirit leads. They have become trapped in human reasoning, while I seek to bring them in
to faithful freedom. I will raise up a mighty army, which will carry my banners of victory in to every corner of the earth.
Heaven and earth will be shaken by the power of my majesty appearing among you. Be still, my child and receive the
love of your Father!
Love
JESUS.

Word received January 1, 1998
It is time for my people to come to me with all their heart. To surrender the old and reach out to the new. Relinquish your
rights to me and I will bless you exceedingly beyond all you could think or imagine. I will lead you to the high places of
my Kingdom, where you will survey with me the wonders that are coming. Approach the Father on bended knee and
listen to his wisdom for you! Call out to me and I will answer for I Am for you with all my heart! The darkness will retreat in
the presence of my light. I will prosper my people, so they will draw those of unbelief. The anointing I have for you will be
far greater than you have known up until now. Obedience and faithfulness flow from love. They are the fruits of those who
truly trust in me. I have chosen you for mighty exploits in my Name. What you put your hand to will be blessed from
above. You will not be subject to the winds of chance for I have deliberately planned my will for your life. Cast all caution
to the wind and be bold in my Holy Spirit! He has taken command of your life from the beginning. He rules and reigns in
all you do. Appropriate his gifting for you, as you march under my banner of love! Gone is the hesitation from your walk.
You will step out in faith and conquer whatever lies before you. Set your mind at ease for all the promises of the Father
are yes and amen in me. Concentrate your efforts on the things that matter and let go of the rest. Listen to my Holy
Spirit and act as he directs. My Word will confirm all that he calls you to do. I Am about to open a fresh revelation of my
truth to you. Be prepared to move, as my Spirit catches you up in the whirlwind of my glory. You will experience the
fullness of my presence there!
Love,
JESUS.
Zechariah 2:10-11.
Gunnar M. Johnson.
What the enemy meant for evil, I have already turned to good and even more. It is the time of my favor for all, who believe
and will follow where I lead. I have broken the yokes of bondage and I Am now in the process of building up what I have
reclaimed. I have shattered the plans of the evil one and canceled his assignments. My cross is the sign of victory over
him. I Am drawing my forces together and setting them in order. The broken are being healed and I Am making them
eager for more of my Kingdom. They will understand that everything has a purpose and this will give meaning to their
suffering. I call out to you to approach my throne of grace to receive the anointing of my love. All is forgiven, so enter in to
worship with a true and contrite heart! Get excited over what I have prepared for you! Get ready to embark on a wonderful
new life in me! The past is over and the future has begun. Be at peace in me and embrace my joy with all your might.
You have been chosen for a particular calling that the Father has set for you. There are more changes coming and they
will transform you, as well as your circumstances. The message of freedom will be your gift from me to all who will
receive it. Some may turn away but it will only be temporary. Others will immediately respond to it and take it for
themselves. Trust and obedience are keys to everything that I Am doing in this time. There is no room or time for those
who will not fully come in to what I Am doing. I Am asking for total surrender and submission to the Father. He alone is
worthy for he is the Lord Almighty. Bow your knee to him in faith! I Am about to bring in to being a radical way of serving
me. It will demand complete dependence on me. Are you ready to accept this!
Love,
JESUS.
Galatians 3:22
Gunnar Johnson
I have made a way for you, do not be distracted by the ripples. The wave of my Spirit is coming to inundate the earth with
my presence. He will pound on the walls that remain after the shaking is finished. The wind of my Spirit is beginning to
blow carrying the seed of my truth far and wide. The oppression is lifting and my peace will sustain you. I Am
pronouncing the will of the Father for all to hear. I Am removing the veils from their eyes for all to see my glory pass
before them. My hope will triumph in you, as my Holy Spirit takes the lead in all your deliberations. Come apart with me
and hear my quiet voice speak within your heart. I will make you holy, as I Am holy! You will be complete in me fulfilling
all your needs and desires by my mercy. I have set a hedge of protection around you, which no one can destroy. The
enemy has sought to sift you, but I have kept his hand from you. You are already aware of what is happening, as a
precursor to the great things that are coming. Rejoice in the good fortune of those around you! I have much in store for
you, but it is necessary for you to be balanced in all areas of your life. I have targeted another approach to what you are
facing. Wait for me to reveal my solution to you. Act, when you have the whole picture of what I Am proposing! The light
of my coming is dawning upon the horizon, although many do not see it. My watchmen are aware of it, as they see with
the eyes of faith. I have come to encourage you, to be bold, when the time comes for you to speak, as my Spirit gives
you the words. Know that your moment is not far off! You have been faithful, standing in the gap. Continue in prayer,
reflecting on my personal Word to you. The doors are opening for you and the windows of heaven, as well. It is a time to
receive, as well as to give!
Love,
JESUS.
Luke 6:46-49.
Gunnar M. Johnson
I have broken through the barrier and you are going to see the results of it. My anointing is already increasing in you. I
Am restoring and setting free. The gatherings of my people will increase in the number of those who are being saved.
Walk by faith under the command of my Holy Spirit! He will accomplish all I have set for him to do. Your obedience is
necessary in order to complete your part in the great outpouring, that is coming. The dam is broken and the floodwaters
of my Spirit are released. He will wash away all opposition to my plans, as he carries out the will of the Father. You have
been troubled over nothing for I have had it all together from the beginning. Trust me to fulfill the promises of the Father for
you, as well as for others! The fruit of my Spirit are becoming even more apparent. You will see the harvest and you will
proclaim my victory. Catch a hold of my Spirit even more and let him bring you where he wills. You will come to my
banquet table and eat of the feast that I have prepared. You will rejoice with me over the multitudes that are coming in to
my Kingdom. The eagles are beginning to lift off their isolated perches to soar together in the fresh wind of my Spirit. A
new day is coming that will far outstrip any other that has been seen. It is the time of the latter rain that was promised for
the final days. I will pour out my Spirit on all who will remain faithful to me. They will become empowered servants to
usher in my millenium, according to the will of the Father. My daystar is rising on the horizon heralding what is coming.
Come to attention, as my Spirit calls out to you! He is being stirred up within you, as the time draws near. Set your heart
and mind on what I reveal to you! Leave all the other concerns to me. I Am coming!
Love,
JESUS,
Ephesians 1:3-10
Gunnar Johnson
My truth has set you free, so do not fall back in to bondage! Rejoice in the goodness you have in the land of the living! I
will restore your fortunes in life and add to them. Be obedient to my call and follow the leading of my Holy Spirit, at all
times! Be attentive to what I bring to you and let it richly nourish you! All that comes your way may not be what you think
it is. Some of the challenges may be from the Father, to correct your ways or to stimulate your growth. Even the attacks
of the enemy can be used for my purposes. Ahead of you is a great playing field, where I Am carrying out the plan of the
Father. Conflicting forces are being turned in the direction he wills. Your place is there too for you are an important
element in the final outcome of things. Seek my face and be ready for what is coming. I Am consolidating my resources,
so they may be used in the most effective manner. I will put in to your hands all that you will need to accomplish what I
have set for you to do. I will multiply the gifts of people and the anointing I have given them. The lines are being drawn for
the final events that are coming. Consider carefully what you will do with what I will be giving you. Everything is to give
glory to the Father and to lift up my Name before the nations. Go with my blessing, when I send you out, but always wait
for my direction in it. You are about to be pleasantly surprised by something the Father has for you. It will increase your
joy, as well as your capabilities. My light will burst forth in the darkest moments, so do not fear. Walk in line under the
command of my Holy Spirit. He will complete all that I have begun. All that you see will be his doing!
Love,
JESUS.

Prophetic Words for February

Gunnar M. Johnson
Trust me for I Am bringing you through to a great open space, where my freedom is! I have destroyed the yokes of
bondage by the anointing of my Holy Spirit. Live in the liberty I bring! Worship the King, as a loyal subject filled with joy
and gladness! The enemy has tried to stop what I Am doing, but he is defeated. Lift up the sails of your faith and soar
with the wind of my Spirit, at your back. You will be transported far beyond the present scene in to a whole new situation
of my making. You will want for nothing, as you follow me. My Father will provide it all! I Am increasing your personal
understanding of my Word and of our intimate relationship. You are growing in the things of the Kingdom, so you can
freely transmit them to others. You will always speak, as the mouthpiece of my Spirit for he has attained supremacy in
your life. Others will recognize my truth, as it flows from your mouth. Many will receive it for themselves and be gathered
together with my believers. Some will be challenged by it and then changed. Still there will be some, who turn away and
go their own way. It is not you they are rejecting, but me. Continue to pray for them, for some will respond before it is too
late. You however must keep your heart and mind fixed on me, no matter what comes. You are about to receive a new
assignment. It will flow naturally from what my Spirit has been doing in you. Step out in it for it will bring you to a new
depth in our communing with each other. Know that the plans of the Father are moving ahead quickly! What you have
been sensing by my Spirit has been gaining momentum just beyond the horizon of your vision. Get ready to be suddenly
lifted up, as his wave hits!
Love,
JESUS.
Ephesians 1:17-21
Word received February 7, 1998

To all, who call out to me, I will answer! I bring light in the darkness and life to all, who will receive it. There will be a
change in tactics, as we move in to the new millennium. I Am changing the positions of authority and establishing new
parameters for those who are called by my Name. There will be many open doors of opportunity, as you move in to the
thick of things. I Am stirring up my people and awakening my remnant for what is coming. The time of waiting is coming
to an end. It is time to take up the challenge and to step in to the arena of confrontation. I set before you a great victory,
which will change the face of my church. I Am restoring what was lost and I Am bringing a refreshing of my purposes.
You have stood, as a faithful watchman, now you are to come down and enter in to what is taking place. Consider
prayerfully what I Am revealing to you! Do not be put off by what you see and hear. The will of the Father is being
accomplished! Your questions and hesitation will disappear, as you are caught up in the whirlwind of my Holy Spirit. You
will have an eagle mentality, which will rise up above the present circumstances and see in to the future. I will expose the
sin in the camp and then dispose of it. This will be my call, not yours. You are to be obedient to how my Spirit leads you.
I will correct and discipline, when it becomes necessary. You are not to be distracted from the course I have set before
you. Always, yield to the Father for he holds everything in his hand. Bow before him in genuine worship and proceed in to
the throne room of his grace. Rest in his goodness and peace! Be still before him in an attitude of surrender and
compliance! There is much in store for my people. It is in the fellowship of my Spirit that they will be prepared to receive
it!
Love,
JESUS.
Philippians 2:12-13.

My Word is like a hammer breaking the rock-like heart. It is like lightning penetrating the dark. I will break the shackles
of lies and deceit. I will set the captives free from their bondage to sin and death. I will open the eyes of the blind and
transform the lives of those who put their trust in me. There is a new day that has already begun to form. It is the light of
my presence being manifest among you. It is my love that my Spirit pours out upon you. It heals and refreshes! Receive
it for yourself, as well as for others. It is time for the reawakening of those I have called for the work of my Kingdom. Once
you were zealous for what I was showing you. I Am restoring your zeal and adding to it. You stand for my righteousness
and mercy for they go hand in hand. Judgment belongs to the Father and he brings it when the lawlessness is filled up.
You are called to carry my banner of hope and encouragement. You are to be a sign of forgiveness and reconciliation,
wherever I send you. Be still in me and transmit my peace, wherever you go! My truth will release you from every
hindrance and menace. This truth is established in your heart by my Spirit, who reigns in my Name. Continue to be
faithful to the revelation I have given you! It is a gift that will add to my Kingdom, those who will be mighty warriors in my
Name. You may not know them, but I do! I have chosen them to carry out the plan of the Father on the earth. Shrug off
the momentary discomfort that the enemy puts on you. He cannot stop what I Am doing in these times. Proceed in the
confidence that I give and fulfill my destiny in you! All that you do will bring glory to the Father for he is the source of life
that strengthens you. You have been obedient and you are his handiwork for all to see. Be jubilant and pray!
Love,
JESUS.
John 8:31-32.
I have broken the sound barrier and it is time to wake up to my new day. The past is finished and your future has begun.
Put aside anything you have against anyone! Repent of your sins and return to your first love! There is a fresh anointing
upon you and it is bringing you to another level of your calling. The plans of the Father are exact and without recall. You
are to follow me under the command of my Holy Spirit. You are being changed from one degree of glory to another. It is
my working in you and with you that makes this possible. Yes, it is reveille, as I bring my people to attention! Walk by
my Spirit and not in your own understanding. I Am moving aside all human supports, so you will see clearly what I Am
doing. The dogs that nip at your heels will have no lasting effect. I will open before you a panorama of the magnificence of
the majesty of the Father. You will come to appreciate all that I have done and will do on behalf of my Kingdom, as well
as for you personally. I have set forces in motion, under the Father's command that will change the very nations
themselves. I Am redeeming the creation for the Father. I Am claiming what is his! I Am about to disturb the usual and
reveal the authority the Father has given me. I Am loosing lightning strikes and thunderbolts among the nations. Many
will come to the Father in fear and trembling, finally surrendering all to him. Those who have been in false pride will
relinquish their control to my love. My truth will become self-evident and the hearts of multitudes will be turned around. A
real understanding of what is true will come to all people. They will come to know me, as I Am. The curtain is being
raised on the final act of creation. You will see the sweep of my Spirit across the stage of time. Be ready, to step in to
the position I have prepared for you!
Love,
JESUS.
Isaiah 45:21-25.
Hear my trumpet call! Rise up and come together! My people, come to me, for I Am the light of your life! My presence
with you will drive back the darkness, so you can see my new day dawning. The veil will be lifted from the eyes of those
who cannot believe. They will see me in the fullness of my glory. They will receive my mercy and enter in to my Kingdom.
They will know me as Redeemer and Lord. They will respond with grateful hearts and kneel before the Father, in true
worship. My Spirit is being poured out soaking my people in love and joy. Approach me with an open heart and a willing
mind! There you will find peace for your soul. I Am anointing you to carry my banner of victory before the nations. It is
time for all who are called by my Name to come in from the cold. The warmth of my cloak will cover you and fear will no
longer come near you. Faith will increase in you and you will do mighty exploits. Healing will be the children's bread and
deliverance their rightful gift. Where my Spirit is welcome, there will be freedom beyond measure. I Am your hope and the
staff that holds you up. The fire is coming to burn out the impurities from my people. My Spirit will consecrate you to the
honor of the Father. My Spirit will increase his power working in you. My truth will be born anew in you and the refreshing
wind of my Spirit will blow over you. My Word will flourish in your life and my Spirit will declare the wonders of my
righteousness through your lips. My people will hear and be nourished in my goodness. The oil will flow from the
lampstands and spread out around you. You will be filled to overflowing, so there will be no end to what I can do through
you. Change will be the order of the day, as I stand among you by my Spirit. None will escape what I Am doing on the
earth. The best is yet to come!
Love,
JESUS.
Zechariah 4:1-6.
Hear my voice, for I Am calling my people to wake up! The hour is approaching for my visitation. Seek me in worship and
search out my will through My Word. Yield to me, when my Spirit moves upon you! The time is coming, when the dry
bones will be raised up and my Spirit is poured out on my faithful ones. Get ready, for the explosion of my presence in
the universe! I will be stretching your thinking and increasing your vision of my purposes. Release your fears to me and I
will lift the limitations imposed upon you! You are my servant and I will care for you. All that I have is yours, for you
belong to me! You are to enter in to your inheritance in my Kingdom. Soon there will be a change in what you are doing
in my calling. I Am about to implement the next phase of the Father's plan. It will be for you and for all my people. It will
have earth shattering effects, as well! Your heart dwells with me in the heavenly places and your feet are firmly planted in
the earthly realm. They are both a part of where I rule and reign. The enemy is working, but his time grows short. You are
empowered in my Name to expose him and to dispose of his wicked ways. You are a soldier under the command of my
Holy Spirit. He has armed you and trained you for what lies ahead of you. His anointing upon you is the commissioning
for battle. The war is won but battles still remain. Take every opportunity to declare my victory over sin and death. Hold
on with all tenacity to the truth I have revealed to you. When you have done all, stand in the confidence I have given you!
You wield the sword of my Word with the power of my Holy Spirit. Rest in the authority I have given you! Be glad, in all
that I have shown you! There is going to be a mighty breakthrough in the days ahead. It will be the fulfillment of all the
years!
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 28:6-9.
Rejoice and be glad, for I have conquered! I will manifest my victory to you. Stand in my grace and give no quarter to the
enemy. I have anointed you with power and wisdom for the long journey ahead. Lift up my banner of love for it covers all
sin and hostility. Yield yourself to my Spirit, as he seeks to carry you to the heights in my calling! As you wait upon me
in faithful devotion, I will bring you to a new place of freedom. Proclaim my liberty to the captives and you will see the
eyes of the blind opened. Cast your cares upon me and do not be distracted by the turbulence that comes. Redeem the
time and fulfill your destiny for I have called you for such a time as this. Surrender all the areas of your life to me and I will
accomplish mighty things through you. Enter in to the future I have prepared for you and leave the past behind you. Let
the dead bury the dead! Spend your time sitting at my feet and hearing my voice speak to your heart. I Am painting a
picture of the will of the Father, on the large canvas of eternity. Today, you will cross over a bridge in to a deeper
experience of who I Am. You will see beyond the moment in to the plans I have for you. Release yourself in abandon to
the fresh wind of my Spirit that is beginning to blow across the nations. The stillness will be shattered by the piercing
scream of my eagles. Set your will to conform to my will and receive the abundance of my blessings. All of the
hindrances and limitations will fall away. You will step in to an arena that will transcend all the boundaries that have held
you in check. My Spirit is on the move and you will be going with him. The judgment is about to fall on all, who have
stood in your way. The veil will be torn away and many will see the truth. The dam has burst and the flooding of the land
has begun!
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 29.
The time is ripe and the harvest is ready! Be prepared to receive the gathering in of my Kingdom! It will all be to the glory
of the Father and the blessing of my people. Stand in faith for that is your strength! My Holy Spirit is about to erupt on
the earthly scene. He is coming with healing and restoration. There will be some deliberate actions taking place, which
will turn things around for my beloved people. Trust what is coming, as the carrying out of the promises I have given you.
Be strong in me and allow my Spirit to completely have his way! He is bringing to pass all that the Father has planned for
this time. Keep your focus on me and I will lift you up in to heavenly places, as you worship. You will see me with new
eyes and greater understanding. I Am leading you out in to the fields, where my joy and mercy flourish. You have already
embarked on a journey that will lead you beyond the ordinary and the mundane. Heaven's presence will surround you, as
you carry my lightning in to battle. There are open doors and open arms ready to receive what you bring in my Name.
Approach everything in proper order, according to the will of the Father. You will comprehend more and more, as I unfold
the events of the future before you. There will be a fresh anointing on the Words you proclaim. Hearts will be deeply
moved, as my truth becomes evident to them. Unfurl your sails, as the wind of my Spirit begins to blow in earnest! The
mighty move of his power is about to be unveiled. It is the new day that has been prophesied. Hear what I Am speaking
by my Spirit, for he is proclaiming what the Father has intended for this time. Those who are faithful to me will inherit the
wonders of my Kingdom. Rest in me, for my Spirit will do it!
Love,
JESUS.

A joyous Resurrection celebration to all!
Word received March 6, 1998
The trumpet is sounding and I Am calling my forces to attention! War has been declared and the enemy is losing his hold
on those he held captive. Declare my victory and see the chains fall off those who have been shackled. I Am destroying
the old strongholds and I Am giving them into your hands. You will be dispatching them with the sword I have given you..
I Am raising up my army to take the high ground and to hold it against all intruders. You will stand strong in the position I
have prepared for you. You will be taking the initiative to drive out the power of darkness, as my Spirit gives the
command. You will have the eyes of an eagle perceiving and discerning the serpent. You will break down the prison walls
of hypocrisy and deceit. The anointing on you will destroy the yokes of bondage. Be alert and do not compromise what I
have given you! Hear the voice of the Father and follow his directions. Listen to my voice and go where I lead. The truth
spoken in love will accomplish much. It will bring freedom and hope. Take time to feed yourself and do not be caught up
in the distractions of this world. There is rest for the weary and refreshment for my servants. Yield to my Spirit for he will
bring balance to your lives. He has been given the supreme command over you. Obey him and proceed under his
guidance. He will enlighten your understanding and he will increase the knowledge you will need. He will apply his
wisdom to all that you do. Take time to reflect with me over what lies ahead. I have set before you an open door that
leads to great opportunities for you and my Kingdom. There are changes coming, which will challenge you and bring you
great satisfaction. My Spirit has been moving beneath the surface. Now, he will burst forth like a tidal wave sweeping
across the earth. Get ready to receive it!
Love,
JESUS.
Isaiah 61:1-6.
My call has gone out across the nations! I Am setting everyone in line according to my orders. It is time to come in from
where you were scattered. I Am joining you together with those I have placed in the forward positions. You have been
faithful over the little things, now I will place in your hands much more. Trust me that I will enable you to carry out every
assignment I give you! I will prosper you in all the things that matter. I will renew your hope and strengthen you. There will
be liberty wherever you go, for my Holy Spirit will be with you there. I know your heart and I rejoice over it. I know your
weakness and I will supply your needs. Hold true to your confession of faith and proclaim it! The time of my coming is not
far off and you will endure until I come. The joy of my presence will lift you up and I will carry you on eagle's wings. It is
time to lean into the wind of my Spirit and let him bring you where I will. When you try to do it in your own strength, you
will fail. You need to again surrender to me and I will fulfill to perfection what I give you to do. Bow down before the
Heavenly Father who loves you and hear his voice. It will thunder with the truth, so all may hear. My grace is sufficient for
you to do all that you are determined to do. Leave the rest to others and to me. Come to me, all who are weary and
heavy burdened for I will give you rest. I will satisfy you with the bread of life and fruits from my table. Eat and enjoy for it
is my goodness to you. The light of my new day is beginning to dawn. There are glimpses of it from time to time, but the
full revelation of it is yet to come. Be patient and listen to what my Spirit is speaking within you! I Am putting together
what the Father has planned from the beginning. Be prepared to move at any time!
Love,
JESUS.
Matthew 11:28-29.
I Am striking the forces of darkness with my terrible swift sword. I Am coming against the principalities and powers in
high places. You will see them fall, one after another. Rejoice in my victory and take up my banner of love! Let it be
unfurled over everyone. The light of my truth will inspire you to mighty exploits in my Name. My Spirit is being poured out
in ways you never expected. I Am the God of creation and I Am doing a new thing upon the earth. Receive it by faith and
move with it, trusting my presence in you! I will show you great and majestic things. I will reveal my plan and purposes to
you, before they begin. Be obedient in what I call you to do! Look to me for your confirmation and direction. My Spirit in
you will concur with my Spirit, as he works among you. He will always manifest the will of the Father. Rely on his
wisdom and guidance in everything you do! The walls of division are wearing thin and soon they will be breached in many
places. I Am in partnership with you, but I Am not limited to it. The Father will act sovereignly, as he wills. Be ready to
follow my Spirit, wherever he leads you! He will strengthen you for every good work and supply every need to fulfill it. My
Spirit has been working in secret preparing for the final hour. He has been acting on the hearts of people everywhere.
There will be a mounting up of my forces to take the battle to the enemy. You will tear down his strongholds, under the
command of my Spirit. Those who have been wounded will be healed and they will come flocking to my cause. You, who
are called by my Name will be empowered with spiritual weapons that cannot be defeated. I Am redeeming the lost and
setting them in families of my making. The Father is claiming his own, out of the world. The orders have been set and my
Spirit is fulfilling them!
Love,
JESUS.
Ephesians 6:10-18.
The sword of my presence is sweeping across the nations. It is penetrating hearts to allow my light to enter there. My
cross stands as a sign of the victory in my blood. Take it to yourself and remember who you are in me! Be devoted to my
cause and follow me to the very gates of hell. We will triumph there and we will set the captives free. The dark prisons of
despair will deliver up those held there as prisoners. The oppressed will be raised up to walk in my glorious liberty. Wait
with expectancy for these things to come to pass! I Am disclosing what was hidden, so it can be taken care of by my
gracious favor. You will see the multitudes coming out of the kingdom of darkness and entering the Kingdom of my love.
My Spirit will come like a tidal wave sweeping away the barriers of ignorance and prejudice. Your hearts will be strangely
warmed, by my Spirit, toward those once considered enemies. My love will win out over all! Surrender yourself to my
Spirit and let him bring you into the new millennium of my reign! The wind of my Spirit will blow where he wills and he will
carry you with it. You will embark on a great crusade, which will herald the coming of the new day that has been
promised. Cast aside the grave clothes of sin and death! Begin to rejoice and celebrate the life I have put in you! There is
an ebb and flow to my Spirit because you could not bear the full revelation of what he is doing at one time. Your faith is
growing between times to make you ready to receive it all, when it begins to happen. Watch and pray, for the time of my
appearing is soon! Still remember that to me, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. You
may discern the seasons, but not the hour or the day. It is time to believe and trust, all that I have for you!
Love,
JESUS.
I Peter 1:3-9.
I have broken through to the core of the rebellion. I Am bringing about a transformation of hearts and minds. There will be
a desire for repentance among the people. Radical changes will be coming to the way things are done. My presence will
overshadow you and you will experience the fullness of my joy. You will come under the power of my Holy Spirit and you
will fall before the glory of the Father. All things will become new and you will be a traveler in a strange land. I will be your
only guide and my light will show you the way. You will enter into a relationship with me that will be deeper and more
encompassing for your whole life. Doors will open before you that never existed until now. You will fly like the eagle on
the wind currents of my Spirit. He will bring you to greater heights of worship and intimacy with the Father. Those around
you will be caught up in it, as well. There will be healing of bodies and souls. There will be a restoration of families. The
lost will come seeking me and the demon oppressed will be delivered. It will be a time like no other. The dead will be
raised up by my Resurrection life. There will be a tangible peace surrounding those who have given their life to me. It will
be an invitation for others to follow. There will be a stirring among the nations, as my Spirit is poured out on all, who
come to me. My love will reach the hardest hearts and the most reprobate minds. There will not be room enough in the
traditional gathering places, as the multitudes start turning to me. The old wineskins will burst, as the new wine of my
Spirit does my work. Stand ready to lend a hand on the nets of the great in gathering. You will step into new places of
service. Get ready to let go of what was for what will be!
Love,
JESUS.
I Peter 2:9-10.
The voice of the eagle will be heard, as he sounds the call to the nations. The wind of my Spirit will carry him far beyond
the horizon into a new territory that I have designated. You will know that I Am there, as the gathering increases in
number. They will be drawn by the fire of my Spirit that burns brightly within you. They will see and hear what my Spirit is
doing in my Body of believers. My truth will stand alone, by itself. It will be self-evident to all, who receive it. It carries the
power of the Father to transform lives and change the direction of nations. The nations will rise and fall, as my Spirit
breathes upon them. There is none too great or too small that cannot be affected by this event. Where two or three come
together in my Name, I Am with them! This will be true for the multitudes, when they come crowding in too. Everything is
present to the Father and he rules with a gracious hand. Still the lightning will strike, as the enemy seeks to gain his own
way. The justice of the Father will be in effect. How shall you view yourself in all this? You are his beloved child and he
cares for you deeply. He desires good things for you and great triumphs in your calling. He is the one who opens the
doors before you and invites you to come into what he has for you. It is his Spirit that supplies the wisdom and anointing
for your life. It is his love that moves in the victory of my cross and Resurrection. It is because of the Father that my
stripes can heal, even today. Worship him and do not run away from his presence! Come before him with praise and
thanksgiving! The Father of Creation rejoices over you with singing! He wants you to experience his glory in the fullness of
joy. The weapons formed against you will not succeed because of him. Draw closer, as my Spirit leads the way to where
he lives in majesty!
Love,
JESUS.
John 12:44-46.
The wind is beginning to blow, as it drives out the old and brings in the new. My Holy Spirit will take hold of my people
and lead them to the high places, where my eagles gather. There will be an increased flow of power, as my signs and
wonders are manifested. By faith you came to me and by grace you receive the fullness of my salvation. I Am changing
hearts and minds, as they are touched by my presence. Those who seem furthest from me will be drawn in first, as the
first will be last and the last first. The Father has his plan working in you, so do not despise the small beginnings. When
my Spirit begins to move afresh, there will be such a depth of commitment, that the world will be astounded. There will be
a different shape and form to my Body of Believers. The Father is implementing a whole new design. It will not be by
human effort, but by the sovereign action of the Father. All sins will be accounted for, as my light dawns. There will be no
hiding from the truth for everything will be uncovered. In this time there will come a real understanding of my mercy and
gracious love. Lives will be deeply impacted and there will be a greater appreciation of what my Kingdom means. It will
bring a zeal for souls and a renewed desire for intimacy with me. I will give insight into the part you will play, as the
curtain rises on these last days. Watch and pray for you do not know the day or the hour! The door will be open for
awhile, but do not presume it will be open forever. Seize the moment, when I give it to you! Step out in faith, under the
command of my Spirit! He carries the orders from the Father. Listen for his voice and obey what he speaks! Do not
discount the ways he has of expressing himself. Be aware and sensitive, wherever you are! It is to me that you need to
look, for direction.!
Love,
JESUS.
II Peter 3:8-13.
You stand on the threshold of a mighty move of my Holy Spirit! He is about to impact the whole earth like a tidal wave,
driving everything before it. Principalities and powers will topple, as their foundations are washed away. It is the cleansing
of the nations and the watering of my planting upon the earth. There will be a harvest of people, like nothing that has ever
been seen. It will be a moving of hearts and not just allegiances. The troubled and despairing will be cast upon the shores
of my Kingdom. The light of my righteousness will break out upon the dark places of the world. The shadows will flee
away and my love will prevail. Your own considerations will pale into insignificance, as you see the glory of the Father
spread out before you. The challenge of my new day will bring a fresh zeal to my beloved people. The tiredness will fall
away and the lame knees will be strengthened. Even now, the eternal has crossed over into the temporal. My Spirit rules
with the supreme authority of the Father, in those who have given their life to me. You will march, as the orders of the
Father come through the command of my Spirit, who leads you.. It will not be burdensome for it comes in peace and
mercy. The soaking of my presence has been going on for some time. The fruit of it is going to appear. I have been
setting things right in many lives. They are ready to take up arms in my glorious crusade. The spiritual weapons have
been given and the training provided. The discipline of obedience has also been taught. All is in order and the
preparations have been made for the great outpouring of my Holy Spirit. New wineskins are being put together rapidly, so
the new wine will not be lost. I Am saturating the earth, so it will be primed for what I Am about to bring to pass upon it!
Love,
JESUS.

Prophetic Words for April 1998

Gunnar M. Johnson
Word received April 3, 1998

Your amazing adventure is about to begin! What you have been waiting for is soon to be unveiled. My truth has stood
against all attacks and it will go on forever. I Am turning my people by the fresh wind of my Spirit, who will carry them far
and wide in my Kingdom. What is coming will be totally different from what you thought it would be like. I Am truly doing
a new thing upon the earth! You will recognize that it is from me for my Spirit within you will confirm it. Yield yourself
completely to my Holy Spirit and let go of everything else! He will bring you to those places where heaven and earth will
meet. He will make significant appointments for you that will enter into the plans of the Father. He will bring many
persons across your path, which will enhance your walk with me. You will be mutually encouraged in the meeting. I Am
establishing a worldwide network of my believers that will favor the unity of my Body. My Kingdom is already here and it
will increase more and more. I Am gathering my people in the four corners of the earth to stand in the glory of my
presence. It will be my doing from beginning to end, so no one can boast or assume control. The enemy would target him
and destroy him, if he did. Seek me with your whole self for I desire your companionship. Join me on the heights, in
worship and reflection. I will pour my love into you and I will supply you with great wisdom. There will be a bond of love
between you and with those who I call my friends. You will see the multitudes come flocking to me and you will rejoice,
as they come into my Kingdom of light. My Spirit will carry you in the river of life that flows from the Father. Fix your
heart and mind on his will for you! The time is coming and now is, when the fullness of your inheritance will appear!
Love,
JESUS. Colossians 1:9-14.

My light is dawning and the shadows are fleeing before it. I Am turning the fortunes of my people to the good. I Am
prospering them in what matters and in what lasts. The hidden places are being exposed, so I can take care of what is
there. The flow of my Spirit will carry you far beyond the limits of your own capabilities. He is making my people giants in
the land. The power of my Spirit is increasing in you, so you can bring deliverance where it is needed. Your eyes will
become like eagles eyes penetrating to the heart of things. You will sort out situations and circumstances, so I can deal
with them. Trust me to bring everything to a favorable conclusion! I Am in command of your life and I will rule according to
the will of the Father. He always has your best interests at heart. He will bring you to the threshing floor, when it is
necessary. There he will separate the wheat from the chaff in your life. Proceed, as my Spirit directs you and do not
depend on your own understanding! Be totally submitted to him and do what he tells you to do. The days ahead will be
filled with new and exciting opportunities. Rest when you can, in order to fully enjoy what I have for you. The trumpets will
sound and my people will be on the move. This will be a time of great transition, as this age draws to a close. Be ready
to take your place in the coming events! You are chosen, as my beloved to participate in the wonderful things that are
ahead. Remain yielded to my Holy Spirit, at all times! Know that I value your faithfulness above everything else. Do not
become entangled in the pursuits of others. I Am your focus and concern. Your loyalty is to my Kingdom and its
fulfillment. This is the anointing you carry in my Name!
Love,
JESUS. Proverbs 2:6-8. Gunnar M. Johnson.

I have triumphed over sin and death, now join me in my victory procession! I will show you great and wonderful things that
I Am doing on the earth. Do not doubt what I can do for I Am restoring my people in the fullness of my Holy Spirit. You
have broken through under his leading. My Spirit will bring you into even greater things than those you have seen and
heard. My Word is true and it will be fulfilled before you in the days ahead. You will experience my love and forgiveness,
as a reality in your life. You will be moving out into my fields of conquest, where you will see my glory. My presence
goes with you, as you take your place under the command of my Spirit. There will be honest repentance, as those I have
called return to me. I Am removing the false impressions that have hindered my people. The way has been cleared for
you to come into your own in me. The radical nature of my message will take hold and my Kingdom will be present
among you. Yield yourself to my Spirit and he will produce my character in your life! The fruit of his action will become
apparent to all. It will challenge the attitudes and views of every level of humanity. Rich and poor alike will come flooding
into the gatherings of believers everywhere. The world system will have the veil lifted from their eyes. There will no longer
be any excuse for those who refuse to believe. All will be in the valley of decision. You are to be open to all, who come to
me! There is no partiality in my love. The Father will show mercy before everything else. He desires that all will be
rescued from the kingdom of darkness. My cross is sufficient for every need and consideration. This is the way the
Father offers to all. He is patient far beyond anything you could know. Still, you will stand before him in the magnificence
of his majesty!
Love,
JESUS. Revelation 3:19-21.

I have opened a way for you, which continues, on into new territory. You will see great opportunities that my Spirit will be
able to fulfill. Trust me with your whole life for I will complete everything in good time! Seek my face with an open and
obedient heart. I will pour out my living water, which will bring life and joy to all. Press into my Kingdom with increased
zeal and devotion! You will not be disappointed with the outcome. The plan of the Father is right on time. It is providing
the results that he intended for you. What you see happening will grow into greater proportions. Use my wisdom to
choose what you are to do in what will be taking place. I Am seeking a broader base of participation for what lies ahead. I
Am building my Body with more consecrated servants, who will deeply commit to my purposes. You will no longer stand,
alone! There are many, who have bowed their knee to me, in true surrender to my leadership over them. You will be
amazed what I have prepared for you and for my people in these last days. There will be a refreshing of hearts and minds,
as the captives are set free. There will be cracks in the armor of those who refuse to believe. Doors will open in every
direction for my faithful to march through in victory. Those who have stood in the forefront of the battle will find relief.
Wounds will be closed up and scars will be removed. There are fresh troops coming, who will be added to those who are
already there. You will rise up with wings like eagles and soar ahead into the fields of conquest. The banner of my cross
will fly triumphantly over all. My love will change the hearts and lives of all, who come to me. You have set sail on the
eternal sea of my righteousness. Be ready to move in whatever direction my Spirit guides, for he leads in my Name!
Love,
JESUS. Isaiah 42:13. Gunnar M. Johnson.

Victory, victory, victory and you will see it all come together! Worship the Father with heart, soul and body! Release
yourself totally to my Holy Spirit and let him have his way completely! Revival will come, when my people are fully
committed to my will and purposes. I Am turning lives around, wherever I can plant my seed of love. Whole nations will
come to me and new ones will be created to follow my standard. You are entering into a different phase of my working
and you will stand in awe, at what is taking place. The hunger and thirst of millions will be satisfied in me. I Am pouring
out my Spirit on people everywhere. You will touch the hem of my garment and be caught up in the ecstasy of my
celebration. You will never be the same after this experience. You will participate in the inheritance of those who have
been separated to me. You are called out to be a lampstand that drives back the shadows and lights a clear path into my
presence. Do not be concerned about what you do not understand for my love will always triumph. You are set free to be
a joyful and exuberant people who have seen my face. Bow down before the Father in grateful humility! Receive his
commands with a willing attitude! Stand, still and see my glory pass before you! Many things are drawing to a close in
anticipation of what is about to be revealed upon the earth. I Am touching lives everywhere with my Word in preparation
for what is coming. I have promised to tell you beforehand of what it will be. This is so your prayers can set the stage for
what will be happening. Those who have remained faithful in spite of what is going on, will be banner carriers in the
forefront of my return. Be eager to sit at my feet and hear what my Spirit is proclaiming! You have held on to my truth and
it has established you in me!
Love,
JESUS. Revelation 1:12-20.

My trumpet is sounding! I Am calling my people to advance into the positions I have prepared for them. It is the year of
jubilee, but that means more than you realize. Look to my Holy Spirit for he will lead you into a fuller understanding of
this time. There will be deliverance from financial instability, as well as from the enemy's oppression. It is a time to seek
the face of the Heavenly Father in worship and prayer. It is a season to take the priorities of my Kingdom, as your own.
There will be a new freedom to experience all that my Holy Spirit is seeking to give you. You have been living on the edge
of a whole new world of spiritual expansion. You are to cross the border into the promised land of the Fathers glory and
majesty. To win the lost, you need to have found something that will draw them. This is the inheritance of the saints in
the goodness I bring in the land of the living. It is the pearl of great price for which you have given all to possess. Until
now, you have given only part of yourself to me. If you are to participate in all that I have for you, it will be necessary to
give all of yourself to me. This is what I have done for you. Can you give anything less? The signs and wonders of
miraculous healing will appear. Visions of my presence will increase. There will be a movement of people never before
seen upon the earth. Nations will rise and fall overnight. Challenges will come to my authority, but they will not succeed.
My banner of hope will be raised up in every corner of the earth. Nothing will be able to keep the multitudes from flocking
into my Kingdom. My truth will overcome the lies and my power will turn many lives around. The rebellion will be broken
and the prisoners will be released. You are charged with a commission to declare the fullness of my message, by the
anointing of my Holy Spirit!
Love,
JESUS. Luke 4:18-19. Gunnar M. Johnson

There has been a breakthrough for all to see! Open gates, as well as open doors are standing before you. Principalities
and powers are under my feet, as they go down to defeat. You will stand with me in my victory, as you see the enemy
banished from the earth. The earth belongs to the Father and his glory will cover it. Be prepared to act at a moments
notice, when my angels blow their trumpets. What I have in store for you will truly amaze you. I have called you to soar
with my eagles in the high places of my promise. Cut loose the ties that bind you to the past. You are a new creation of
my Spirit and he will take you wherever he goes. Consider carefully where your heart is for that will be your destiny.
Guard your heart from the adversary and his lies. You will be with me, until everything is completed. Stay in the flow of
my Spirit and do not succumb to foolish distractions. I hold everything in my hands and so everything will work out
according to the will of the Father. You will regain confidence in what I Am doing, as you yield yourself to me. Be still, so
you can hear me clearly! My Spirit will reveal what you will need to carry out my purposes. He is the one who moves
between heaven and earth. He bridges the gap that was once between us. He is bringing you into the presence of the
Father, where your hope will be renewed. You are about to leap ahead into a new dimension of your calling in me. The
turbulence and the apprehension that you feel are the result of my Spirit bringing you closer to the fulfillment of the
Father's plan. There is a radical change going on in the heavenly places that will affect you. My Kingdom is being
established more and more among you. The role of my Spirit in your life is going to increase in significance. He brings
my Kingdom into your life!
Love,
JESUS. Romans 14:17-18

I have triumphed gloriously! Shout it out to the nations! Declare it from the housetops for all to hear! Invite the lost and the
struggling to come into my shelter from the storm. I will heal and set right those who have fallen away. I proclaim freedom
to all, who will follow me. I will establish a hope in your hearts that will overcome the lies of the enemy. To trust me is to
find peace for your life and victory over strife. I Am restoring families and friends. I Am bringing my truth to bear in every
place and circumstance. My Spirit in you is far greater, than any of the forces and principalities, that may come against
you. Keep your heart and mind focused on what the Father is speaking to you! He will reveal his purposes, when it is
time to know them. He has had his plan in motion from the beginning. He knows the outcome before it starts. Proceed,
as my Holy Spirit would lead you for he knows the will of the Father! All that you encounter is no surprise to him and he
has already made provision for it. It is time to rest in me and allow me to take you where I will. No weapon formed against
you will succeed for I have canceled the assignments of the evil one. He will not prevail for I have torn down his gates.
There is a great move of my Spirit coming soon. He is ready to bring revival into your midst. The wave has been building
and it is about to crest. Your prayers in my Name and according to my purpose will be answered quickly with power. My
people who are called by my Name will come into their own. You will occupy the seats of authority that I have prepared
for you. Be cautious in your speculations, always listen for my voice. The opposition will tremble at what I Am going to
unleash on the earth through my eagle warriors. Rejoice and be glad that you will see this day!
Love,
JESUS. I John 4:4.

Word Mailing for May, 1998

Gunnar M. Johnson
Word received May 1, 1998
My peace I give you! Rest in me and let me lead you to the still waters. Enter into a contract with me of devotion and
communication. Hear me when I speak and turn over to me your heartfelt concerns. The Heavenly Father delights in you
and he desires your worshipful response to him. He is raising you up to be able to receive what he has planned for your
life. All that you see and know isn't all there is. There is far more going on than you realize. It is good to pause in your
activity and to reflect for a moment on where you are going. All that happens can have a purpose in your life. It can be for
good or evil depending on how you look at it. I encourage you to see everything from my perspective and through my
eyes. Remember, what the devil meant for evil, I could turn to good! Keep moving ahead in me for this is your hope of
victory. It is what lies ahead that matter, not what was left behind. The joy and blessing I have for you are within your
reach. It is not an illusion. Be prepared to accept the opportunities I provide and be ready to act on them! Each day is
filled with divine appointments, if you would see them. You are not alone in your endeavors for there is a great cloud of
witnesses standing with you. There is much that I have in store for you, just wait for it to unfold. I have been at work in
you from the beginning and nothing happens by accident. It all has a part in developing you into the person that the
Father intended you to be. Your unique qualities are necessary in building the temple, where I dwell by my Spirit. You
are part of the plan that the Father designed for the completion of his creation. Continue to be faithful to what my Holy
Spirit has revealed to you! He is the architect of the new heavens and the new earth, where my righteousness will reign
supreme.
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 92:12-15.
I will sound the trumpet that will never call retreat. When the time comes to move, it will be forward into victory. I will
scatter the enemy and sow confusion in his ranks. My Kingdom is forever and it will prevail against all odds. Those who
answer my call to serve will find my blessings everywhere. I Am establishing you on the high places, where you will see
my glory pass before you. You will engage in worship that will carry you into the very presence of the Father. You will
bow before him in joyful surrender. You will discover the wonder of my majesty and find great delight in my love. I Am
imparting my character to you, as my Spirit reproduces my fruit in you. Many will taste of it and be drawn to my
graciousness. I will impel my people into mighty exploits in my Name. You will experience the awesome splendor of
what we have prepared for those who love me. It can only come to hearts that are open and willing to receive. Many have
been broken open and have released the perfume of the Father's creation. In your obedience to the Spirit, you have come
to a fuller understanding of who I Am. My Spirit is the essence and flavor of what I Am to be to all who believe. His
purpose is to join us as one, in the love of the Father. He is about to give you an anointing of power, which will succeed,
where all else has failed. He will turn a seeming defeat into a great conquest for my Kingdom. Do not be fooled by
appearances, it is what I have done on the inside that counts. My Spirit is at work among people everywhere. You have
seen only a small part of what is coming. There will be an explosion of my Holy Spirit that will send shock waves across
the earth. It will be a sign for those who are called to return to their first love in me.
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 96.
Great is the glory of the Heavenly Father, as it covers the whole earth! The eyes of faith that have been opened by my
Holy Spirit can see it. Salvation is a greater gift than you realize for it is an ongoing revelation. It is a dynamic relationship
that contributes to your wellbeing in all areas of your life. It is not a human action, but your response to an encounter with
our love. It will bring an increased awareness of your place in the scheme of things. Radical breakthroughs will be
happening that will overwhelm your understanding. You will be moving ahead into the deeper things by an impartation of
new energy from my Spirit. When the future seems closed to you, doors of opportunity will spring open. Catastrophic
events will be occurring all around you and you will find meaning in them. The ways of the Father are not always
comprehensible to the human mind. This is why we seek to build a trust relationship with you. When you know the heart
of the Father, you will gain wisdom in many things. People are seeking knowledge, but without true understanding it is
useless. There needs to be a surrender of the creature to the Creator, which can only happen through the experience of
his love. When you receive this love for yourself personally, all the conflicts of ideas will lose their impact. What matters
is where your heart is and not what your intellect comprehends. What you know within will inform what your mind can
discern. There is a need to have real humility, where you do not think more highly of yourself than you ought. Yet, having
a right appraisal of who you are. This can only happen, as you come to me openly without pretense. When we meet in
the presence of the Holy Spirit, heaven and earth are unmasked in the light of our majesty!
Love,
JESUS.
I Corinthians 2:6-16.

The time is coming closer, when I will unleash the forces I have restrained. I will awaken my people to their calling and
position in me. You will be called to act with my authority over the enemy and to turn him back from his chosen
objectives. I will draw my beloved ones together in a cohesive power for good on the earth. You will discover the serpents
trail with the eyes of an eagle. You will do battle against the dragons of deceit. You will stand as a mighty army carrying
out the orders of the heavenly Father. You will fight with the weapons of my Spirit, who will also direct your strategy. The
consummate power will be my love, which will energize and enrich all that you do. This will be the net that gathers people
into my Kingdom, where my compassion predominates. My mercy and forgiveness will be the force of your operations.
Underlying it all will be the fear and respectful awe of the Father. His will and wisdom will direct your steps. They will
determine the outcome in whatever you do. You will engage in what is appropriate to the situations and circumstances
you encounter. My Spirit will reveal what is necessary for you to do on our behalf. Prayer and worship are chief weapons
in my armory. They implement the plan of the Father on earth as it is in heaven. My Spirit pours himself through them to
enter into whatever lies before you. Trust my Word that comes to you and allow it to do what it is intended to do. There
are clouds of witnesses, who surround you with light and encouragement. You are not alone, as you face what is taking
place. All my people are involved in what will be a cosmic move of my Spirit. It will transcend all kinds of boundaries.
Lean into the wind of my Spirit, as it begins to blow afresh on you. Let him lift you up and carry you where he wills!
Love,
JESUS.
II Corinthians 10:3-6.
The victory is mine, as I set you free from all bondage to sickness and death. I have delivered you from every oppressing
spirit and I Am leading you to do the same for others. By my Spirit, you have broken through the barrier that has held you
back from the next stage of your calling in me. You will now see miracles, signs and wonders that you never even
dreamed possible. Great and mighty exploits will be yours by the power of my Holy Spirit, who lives in you. When you
bow to me, all of the forces of darkness will have to flee. A committed and consecrated people will step out in faith to
conquer in my Name. It will be the power of my love transforming lives and changing circumstances. My love and the
commanding will of my Holy Spirit, only bind you. All that you are or ever will be are to flow in his harmony. My peace will
reign in all areas of your life. There will be a balance to everything you do. I will give you boldness to do the will of the
Father. His Kingdom is established on the earth and it will stand forever and ever. You will lead many to come under the
covering of my mercy and righteousness. My Spirit will give you wisdom to speak my truth in a way that cannot be
resisted. The enemy has no place in you. My Spirit has cleansed you by my blood and restored you to the fullness of
life. The strife is finished and the easiness of my yoke is upon you. I Am breaking every rebellious spirit and you will see
the results. Healing has risen in my wings, which cover you. Each day will reveal more of what I have done in you, as it is
imparted to others. You no longer live for yourself for I alone Am your God. The sacrifice of praise will be on your lips, as
you worship the Father in your heart. You will receive a double portion of my anointing, which will be transmitted to all
willing to receive it. You are a part of the great outpouring of my Holy Spirit!
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 105:1-15.
I have broken through the outer wall, now I will do it to the inner wall. The radical changes are on the way. I Am
transforming my people into a mighty force to carry my banner of love everywhere. Hearts are being touched and lives are
being liberated. I have shown you much, but there is far more to come. My Spirit is rolling away the boulders that have
come between us. The way is open for direct access to the Father's throne. You can now come before him dressed in
my robe of righteousness. Be attentive to my Spirit for he will tell you when it is your turn to enter into our place of
majesty. It will be one by one at first and then all will come crowding in for the gates will be wide open. Be patient, the
waiting is a preparation for it enhances the final outcome. Do not fear for none that I have called will be left out. All of the
promises of the Father will be honored. Humble yourselves, under his mighty hand and you will be lifted up to share in his
presence! Entering in is only the beginning for there are even greater things to follow. When my Spirit can move without
hindrances, there will be liberty and great accomplishments. I Am removing the grave clothes, so you can fully enjoy
what we have done for you. Our joy will invade your lives and you will become free to express our love fully. You will be
delivered from the oppression of the enemy and released into the power of my Holy Spirit. The stumbling blocks of your
own making will all be removed. Look beyond the moment and see the vision we have for you. Everything will happen at
the right time and in the way we have determined. It will come as a great surprise to you, so you will not be able to limit it
by your short sightedness. Be at peace in us for we have taken over the reins of your life!
Love,
JESUS.
John 3:31-36.
I will suddenly strike the enemy where he is most vulnerable and my people will rejoice. The gates of the opposition will
fall and you will take the city. You will free the captives and restore the wounded. There will be peace in the valley and
you will occupy the high ground. You will come dancing and singing into my holy places, where your worship will rise to
the heavens. My victory is assured by my blood sacrifice. My Holy Spirit is released to carry out the will of the Father in
every area of your life. The peoples will come flooding into my holy temple, where my Spirit holds court. The rule of my
Kingdom is being set up in human hearts everywhere. When you come together, more of my power is released and my
perfect will is accomplished. You are to come as children to your heavenly Father loving him and accepting one another,
as he has accepted you. There are battles to be fought and there are blessings to be enjoyed. The heavenly host is
ready to move, when the Father gives the word. You are also a standing army, awaiting your orders. My Spirit has been
arming you with his weapons and my Word is hid in your heart. The glow of my glory is beginning to appear over you.
Soon, you will see all that I have prepared for you. There will be an increase in healing signs and deliverance wonders.
Visions and dreams will be occurring, as my Spirit is poured out in a fresh revelation of my truth. What has been is a
launching platform for what is coming. Barriers of indifference and suspicion are being removed. My love conquers all!
Seek my face with sincere devotion and we will come together in an explosion of joy. The end is not yet, but it is not as
far off, as you think. Be attentive to me and I will show you a glimpse of what is to come. It will be to encourage you in
your walk with me.
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 111
I Am sounding the trumpet that will never call retreat. I Am leading my people forward into the new day that I promised.
You are not to stay in the condition where I found you. You are to come up higher, where you can share in the fullness of
my glory. Enjoy the moments of celebration that I give you, then move on to the greater things that lie ahead of you. My
Spirit is leading you onward to a fuller realization of what I have won by my cross and Resurrection. Be aware of the truth
that I Am showing you. My Spirit is enlightening you more and more. Do not build monuments to what was, for the future
has far more for you. My hope is releasing you into the fullness of my joy. You will see the plans of the Father for you
being unveiled by my Spirit. Trust me to guide you into those things that will be the best for you! Learn to let go of the
former ways of thinking for they were limited in scope. They will not serve you in what I Am doing now. What is coming
will stretch your capacity to understand and only my Spirit can give you what you will need. I have triumphed and I Am
preparing you to step into your place in it. Proceed, as my Spirit directs you and don't look back! There will be many
visitations before the final appearance takes place. I will reveal myself in many and varied ways to those who believe in
me. I will also show myself to those that I have called, who have not yet believed. I Am sovereign over all things, just as
the earth belongs to my Father. There are times when you need to come before me in quietness with an open heart to
receive. Many things will begin to happen at the same time for I have much to accomplish in these last days. You will be
involved in a wider area of my purposes. I have been working in you by my Spirit, so you can impact others with what I
have given you. I will put a fresh desire in your heart for the growth of my Kingdom. Wait for me to make it happen!
Love
JESUS.

Shout your hallelujahs for the victory is won and now it is yours! Follow the leading of my Holy Spirit for he knows the will
of the Father. This battle is over and my peace has come. It will stand guard over you like a sentinel. Trust and obey for
that is the way of my Kingdom! You are shedding the grave clothes of past defeats. Now, walk in the light of my love and
grace! All that you surrender to me will be cared for under the authority of my Word. Faith comes by hearing and
believing comes in the heart. They cannot be separated! I Am opening you up to more and more of my truth. It is first for
you personally and then it is for giving away to others. The more you share it, the more you will have it firmly planted in
you. Be patient with those around you for I Am working in them too! All who cry out to me will be rescued and called into
fellowship with me. This is the work of my Holy Spirit. The harvest will increase, as you sow what I have given to you.
You will see the results happening quickly. I have removed the veils from their eyes and I will expose what was hidden.
Ahead of you is a marvelous future that I have prepared for you. Relinquish all the doubts and let my truth prevail. My
glory will be manifested and my Name will be praised. Lives will be turned around and opportunities will abound. I have
set the timing according to the plan of the Father. Enter into the fullness of worship and totally release yourself to the
power of my Spirit. Give yourself completely to what I Am doing and hold nothing back. I have set you free to expel the
forces of darkness from my people. This is the will of the Father for you, as you stand in the center of his purposes. This
is where my Spirit has directed you, so shout for joy!
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 117

My voice shall be like a trumpet, loud and clear for all to hear! I will speak into existence a renewed people who will carry
my banner of love far and wide. They are a new breed who are being drawn to me and quickly filled with my Holy Spirit.
They will be the healed and redeemed, who know me personally. It will be the increased activity of my Holy Spirit, which
will produce them. I Am hammering home my truth in every heart that can receive it. There is much that I will be doing on
the earth in the days ahead. I will be tearing down and building up. Even tragedies will have reasons for rejoicing. This will
happen, as you abandon yourself to my Kingdom and me. What I will be doing will overshadow everything else that is
taking place. You will be aware but unaffected. You will be hid in me and you will be lifted up to where I Am. There will be
transcendent moments in my Spirit, which will transform you forever. Your relationship with me will deepen and what will
flow from it will become life changing. You will be surrounded by my presence and your face will reflect the magnificence
of my glory. Others will see it and know that it is true. They will hunger for it and seek me, as well. I will bind up the
broken in heart and body. I will restore the good fortune of my life to those who come to me. It will override natural
inclinations and reason. My Word will be opened to a fresh understanding and the eyes of the mind will be enlightened.
All the structures of human life will bow before me. You will taste the sweetness of my promises fulfilled. You will
discover a new passion and Zeal for those things that are eternal. You will walk in my righteousness and not stumble.
You will be finished with the old ways for you will be so occupied with what has come. The light of my grace will shine
upon everything you do. It will be the time between times in preparation for the fulfillment of days.
Love,
JESUS.
John 10:14-16.
Word received June 4, 1998

I have called you out of darkness into the marvelous light of my truth and love. Let my peace wash over you and release
you from all fear. Trust me with all that concerns you for I have your best interests at heart! There is a wide-open space
before you, where my glory is revealed. I Am bringing you to a new place in me, where you will discover a fresh anointing
for your calling. I Am setting things in order, day by day. Walk the road I have placed before you, do not look to the right
or the left! There is much to be accomplished, but it will be done in a different way than you have known. My Spirit will
take you by the hand and lead you through it. Let go of any pre-conceived ideas you may have for they will only slow you
down. Act on what my Spirit shows you and leave everything else to me. You will be experiencing some thing that has
not been seen before on the earth. It will shatter the understanding and traditions that people have held. It will be a
working out of my Spirit in the lives of those who are committed to me. It will be part of what will be happening, when the
wave of my Spirit washes over the people of the earth. There will be a radical deliverance from the forces of the enemy.
You will be surprised and pleased at what will be happening. The walls will be falling faster than you could imagine. There
will be reconciliation between people of opposite viewpoints. I will be restoring families and healing those who have been
deeply wounded. The oppression will be lifted from the souls of those who have been held captive. All that the enemy
planned for evil, I will turn into a victory. Wait and watch for what is coming upon the earth! Those who have been faithful
to what I have given them will receive far more in the days ahead. Trust me in this too!
Love,
JESUS.
John 15:5.

I have triumphed in Resurrection power by the outpouring love of my Holy Spirit! I Am victorious over the forces of
darkness and I will show them in defeat. My Kingdom has come, as I expel the demons from your life. I am breaking the
bondage's that have held you back. I loose you from the attachments of the past. My blood has washed you clean and I
have released you to bring honor to my Name. What you have seen and done no longer have a claim on you. You are
free at last to pursue the joy I have set before you. I Am steadily changing you, so the glory of my presence can shine
through you. My Spirit is daily filling you with my power and light. He is enlightening your understanding of my truth. He
is transforming my Word into life giving bread. He has opened the ears of your heart, so you can hear my voice and
respond in love. I Am healing all who cry out to me. I Am turning their lives around to reflect the goodness I bring. The
Father is also present with his abundant blessings. Soul ties are being cut and you are walking in the liberty of my Holy
Spirit. His holiness is rubbing off on you, just as you are catching sight of my vision for you. The grapes of wrath are
being trampled under my feet and the new wine of my Spirit is bubbling up. You are standing on the edge of the cliff of
transition. You are being called to soar like an eagle on the coming wind of my Spirit and you must decide for yourself.
Some may never step out to discover what I hold in store for them, while others will seek to fly on their own and crash. I
desire that you will come with me and to follow the leading of my Spirit for the Father has so much for you. You have
barely touched your inheritance as believers. Today is your day, what will you do with it? I have prepared you to mount up
with wings like eagles and to fly with me to the heights. I have called you to do mighty exploits in my Name. I have set
you in place to be a royal priesthood in a holy nation, my Kingdom.
Love,
JESUS.
II Peter 1:3-11.

I have set before you an open door that no one can shut. What I have prepared for you will be accomplished. I Am setting
my people in place for the time of revival that is coming. What has been hidden will be disclosed for all to see. To some it
will mean a chance for deliverance and freedom. I will liberate all that are willing to be set free. I Am tearing off the veil
from the eyes of many so they can see the truth for themselves. There is the timing of the Father in all that happens. He
alone knows the opportune moment, when everything and everyone will be ready to receive what he desires. Watch and
wait for when he calls you to step into what he has prepared for you! The battle has been fierce, but the victory will be
even greater. Trust me and follow the leading of my Spirit in everything that you do or say! He will never miss the mark or
the timing. Continue to cultivate your relationship with him in prayer, worship and devotion. He carries the authority and
power of the Father. He will direct you to the right path and guide you to successful results. Be open to any shift of the
wind of my Spirit, as he blows upon you. Do what he tells you, no more and no less! What I will be doing will challenge
the mind and cause many to reconsider who they really are in me. Their pre-conceived notions and their lack of vision
have hampered my people, I Am about to pour out my Holy Spirit in a powerful way. It will bring an increase in all of the
manifestations of my presence. My gifts, visions and dreams will flow in greater abundance than ever before. My Word
written and spoken will stand on the inner authority of my Spirit. It will no longer be refuted by human tradition. It wills
both to convict and convince, as my Spirit wields it like a sword. It will penetrate every heart that hears and release every
soul from bondage. Lay down your life before the Father and I will raise you up to soar with my eagles in my Kingdom!
Love, JESUS.
Hebrews 4:12-13.

I have opened the way and my Holy Spirit is leading you through to the other side. Trust me in all things for I will fulfill
your purposes in me. Be patient with others for I Am bringing them along, as well! I Am drawing a new scenario for what
lies ahead. My Holy Spirit will keep you up to date on all that I Am doing. He will show you direction and he will equip
you for what is coming. Take the time to get focused on what I have for you. The time you spend in prayer is part of it, as
well as the spontaneous moments. The wave of my Spirit will come, just get caught up in the flow of it. It will be a fluid
movement that cannot be contained. It is freeing and refreshing. It will bring you into a liberty never before seen. It will be
a new thing, which can come to the faithful who are open and trusting. There will be a challenge to some things that you
hold dear. You will have to let go of them in order to move into what I have for you. My truth will always prevail, no matter
what comes. It will be the hope that will anchor you in every storm. There is a great and wonderful happening building on
your horizon. Keep looking ahead, yet enjoying the moments of exhilaration that I give you. Be thankful and open to what
I desire for you. The Father watches over you and rejoices that you belong to him. Continue to be obedient to the calling
you have received from him. You are to be a servant listening for the guidance of my Spirit. See with the eyes of faith and
your vision will unveil before you. Our plan is in effect and it will be completed in due time. Wait expectantly for it!
Love,
JESUS.
Matthew 6:33

I have broken through the dividing walls. I Am restoring my people to their rightful place in me. I will lift you up to the
heights, where you will soar like an eagle on the wind of my Spirit. He will carry you higher and higher into my presence.
There we will meet face to face and heart to heart. This encounter will change you forever. Nothing will remain the same
for you will see everything through the eyes of my Spirit. He will be the fulfillment of my desires for you. My Spirit will
bring you before the leaders of this world and he will enable you to impart my presence into their lives. You will stand in
amazement at what I will be doing in the days ahead. You will be part of what will be happening. I will stir you up to do
mighty exploits in my Name. You will carry the impression of my character upon you. You will reflect my glory, so that
many will see me and believe. It will be all my doing in and through you. I will be impacting people in every area of life and
in all parts of the earth. Your vision will become global in comprehension and impact. You will cross lines and
boundaries, as if they were invisible. I Am doing a new thing on the earth that has no precedent. It will not be contained
by human limitations. It will confound the earthly wise and bring them to their knees to honor the Father. All that I do is to
establish my Kingdom in the hearts and lives of people everywhere. This is the fulfilling of the will of the Father. I seek
your allegiance to my purposes and the yielding of yourself completely to my Holy Spirit. I will supply everything you will
need to fulfill my plan in your life. You will be caught up in my Spirit, as he is poured out afresh on all my people. The
seed has been planted and the harvest is about to begin!
Love,
JESUS.
I Corinthians 2:12-16.

I have truly opened a door, which no one can shut! I have set the time and the places where I will release what I have
promised. It will begin in a number of locations and then it will spread like wild fire across the land. Those who have been
faithful to my call and have carried the burden of the day will be incorporated into what is coming. Trust and obey this is
the way to the heart of the Father! Continue to be in the flow of my Spirit for it all belongs to him. He will show you
revelations of my truth for your daily journey. He will also carry out the will of the Father in your life, so rest in him! Seek
my face and presence in your worship and prayer. Come to me with all that concerns you for I Am ready to bring
everything into a positive result. Remember that I know the end from the beginning and I have prepared everything in
advance. Sow the seed of my love wherever you go for it will always bear fruit. Some of it may be hidden for awhile but
eventually you will see it come into it's own. What you may not see is how it has spread far beyond the reaches of your
vision. I can accomplish much with little like the mustard seed that grows into a mighty tree. Always be attentive to my
voice for I Am speaking into existence a whole new creation, which will glorify the Father! It will include lives,
circumstances and situations. Each day is an adventure for those who are called by my Name. You will be amazed at
what I have in store for you. My harvest, when it comes will override your greatest expectations, so expand the
perimeters of your mind. I will pour out my Spirit without measure. He will come like a tidal wave washing over the
continents of the earth. You are to wait for his orders and then proceed quickly with them!
Love,
JESUS.

The barking dog is heard, so a homeowner knows an intruder is near. Pay attention to the signs for they herald my
approach. Voices are heard and my Spirit is disturbed by the lack of discernment. You will see and know what is from
me and then discard the rest. Trust my Spirit in you for he will direct you to the truth every time! There has been a
change in the climate that will make a more open receptivity to my message. Stay where you are in the flow of my Spirit
and ignore what others may say to you. You are my servant and I will take care of those things that concern you. Be
humble before me and faithfully listen to what I personally give to you. I will expose the hidden things of the enemy, so
you can pray about it and find out what I want you do about it. You have already ripped his cloak of darkness to shreds.
Focus more on your time with me and the tasks that I reveal to you. Your study is part of the whole thing that I have
given you. Release others by my Spirit into what I show you. There is a gathering of eagles to which I will call you for you
really belong there. I will bring you to it at the right time. At this time you are to rest and trust in my goodness. You will
see even greater provision in the wonders of my Kingdom. There is a deep and abiding faith in you that nothing will be
able to overcome. You are to stand and see my glory pass before you. The troubled you will always have with you but
they are never to become a problem for you. Turn them over to me immediately and their rescue will quickly follow. Set
the sails of your heart to catch the wind of my Spirit, when it begins to blow. You are not to follow men, you are only to
follow me. My Holy Spirit will speak directly to you for you have been open to him. He has taken up permanent residence
in you and he is there for you, as well!
Love,
JESUS. Ecclesiastes 3:11-14.

I have broken the back of the dragon and you will see the results of it. The power of my love will overcome the opposition
forces. Hearts will be touched and my favor will bring life to light for everyone. The seed of my truth will bear fruit in a
great harvest. Trust and believe that I have conceived a great victory. Follow my direction for I have chosen the perfect
destination for you. The turmoil is a sign of the impact of my presence among you and everyone will be affected by it. I
will disclose what has been hidden and I will reveal the condition of every heart. Then I will pour out my Spirit, as a flood
to vanquish the enemy and set the captives free. I have gone before you to prepare the way for what is coming. There is a
great and open field filled with the multitudes, where I have called them to receive liberty. The broken hearts will be healed
and what was lost will be abundantly restored. It is time to lay down your life before me and to surrender up your vanity.
Come to me as beloved children for the Father is seeking after you. He would hold you in his arms and fill you with the
wonders of his love. It is the time of jubilee, when my people will come into their own in me. Your inheritance in the
Kingdom will be realized. You are to march together in the unity that my Spirit brings. You will be a mighty army that will
conquer the land and raise up my banner of deliverance for all to see. My hope is established in you like the rainbow,
which declares the fulfillment of my promises. The seed of my faith has been planted in you and my Spirit through my
Word has watered it. It has taken root and the blossoms have appeared. Now the harvest is ready to be gathered into my
Kingdom. It has come through the winter storms and endured for this time. My trumpet has sounded and my call has
gone out for all to rally around me. This is the new day in which all that the Father had intended will come to pass. Wait
and be open to what he has planned for you!
Love,
JESUS. Isaiah 61:1-3.

My cause has triumphed and you will see the wonderful consequences of the victory. Remain obedient to what I call you
to do! I have laid out the plans of the Father for the conquest of the earth, which belongs to him. It is my redeeming love
and my blood on the cross that makes the difference between heaven and hell. I Am speaking into existence what the
Father has called me to do. I Am bringing my people to the forefront of what will be taking place. They will step into
positions of leadership in every area of life. The wind of my Spirit is changing direction and he will gather up the broken
pieces of my Body. My Holy Spirit is a Spirit of restoration that will be poured out on all who believe and will receive my
Lordship over them. The Father has given all rule and authority into my hands. He has set me at his right side in the
heavenly Kingdom. I Am now seeking those who will accept my complete rule over them. It is there that you will find your
true place in my Kingdom. I Am setting my people in the order that the Father has commanded for them. It is according
to his will that you will occupy the position I give you. It is not of your doing or making, it is what we have purposed. It is
your decision to accept or reject it. What follows will be up to you. It is freely offered with no compulsion on our part.
When you accept it for yourself, you will experience the glory of our majesty in your life. You will abound in mercy and
wisdom for all. You will discern the moving of my Spirit on all occasions. You will catch his wind and soar like eagles to
the highest places we have for you. There will be flurries of opposition but I have already made provision for them. It is in
the submission of an obedient heart that we set up a sanctuary of our presence. We are calling for radical changes
throughout the earth. The events that are coming will shake the earth to the very foundations. Only the truth will remain!
Love,
JESUS. Philippians 2:1-11.

I have opened the door that no will ever be able to shut. I have set before you a hope and a plan that will be fulfilled. You
have been faithful in what I have called you to do. I Am extending the call far beyond the extent of your vision. You are a
loyal and committed servant and I will honor that in the days ahead. I will answer prayers and requests in rapid order.
You are to flow in the current of my Holy Spirit, as he brings you in the direction I have for you. You are not your own and
you never were. You belong to the heavenly Father who loves you very much. He has watched over you through it all and
he will continue to do so. You are now to step out in faith according to the guiding of my Holy Spirit. Speak the oracles of
the Father freely without any hesitation. Be bold as a lion and fly free as an eagle. You are no longer earth bound for the
heavens will be your home. I will give you strategies to win every encounter with the evil one and his forces. They will not
be able to stand in your way. You will take my message into every place I have prepared for you to go. The hindrances
are broken and I have spoken my anointing over you. Cast aside the beggars cloak and stand arrayed in the royal
garments of my Kingdom. You are sons and daughters of the most high God for you were born in my blood. You will
trace your heritage to the throne of your Father in heaven. He is your King, as I Am! You will express who we are in all
that you do. Love and deliverance will go hand in hand. Forgiveness and healing will flow from your hand. The troubled in
heart will find peace through your caring. You will dwell in our presence continually and worship will be your breath of life.
Take nothing for granted but acknowledge our authority over you in all things. You are separated to us and you will live in
the holiness we bring. The fruit of your serving will bring glory to the Father and to no one else!
Love,
JESUS. I Corinthians 12:4-7.

The darkness will give way to the light and my victory will be sustained forever! I have cast down the enemy from his
position and he is losing control over those who were held in his grasp. His ways and devices are being disclosed for all
to see. What has been hidden will be revealed, so they can no longer impede the progress of my people. You are my
people bought with the price of my own sacrifice. I Am breaking you free from bondage and affliction. You will triumph, as
I have in the power of my Resurrection. My Holy Spirit is taking hold of you and he is bringing you out into the fulfillment I
have for you. You will walk in the light for I Am the light who transforms you. There are more changes coming but they
will not be disguised blessings. They will be true to form. Seeds are sprouting everywhere and the fruit is not far behind.
The harvester will overtake the sower for everything has been speeded up. Declare my truth and watch the captives be
set free. Sadness and sorrow will flee away. They will be replaced by my genuine joy. What the opposition meant for evil,
I will turn into a complete success. I will prevail and those who are with me will too! I Am about to saturate you with my
Spirit, who will in turn inundate you with my love. Many will come trembling before me to pledge their honest allegiance to
me. There is a line being drawn and only the faithful can step over it. The rest will remain on the other side. I Am building
in you a deeper appreciation and desire for my Kingdom. My rule of grace and mercy will overcome everything else. You
will not be moved by what you see nor be troubled by any turbulence. You are hidden in me and the unity I have
promised is about to begin. Open doors and power demonstrations will be the order of the day. Be subject to me in all
things and let my Spirit have right of way!
Love,
JESUS. II Corinthians 3:17-18.

I have shattered the enemy's defenses and I Am overturning him at every point. Rest in me for I Am fighting the battles,
so you will be free to worship me. Trust me for I have it all under control. Act, as I direct you, otherwise leave it alone!
You need to again enter the flow of my Holy Spirit and let him carry you along to where I want you to be. It is not in your
understanding to achieve my purposes, but in your waiting on me. There is much to be done before the end is fulfilled,
but it is in my hands to do it. Your obedience and devotion is what I desire from you. Leave everything else to me! The
power signs and wonders will be from me. They are going to be there, when I want them to be. Follow the orders that my
Spirit gives you and do not second-guess them! Believe what I say and follow my lead in all things! I Am about to do a
mighty work among you and it will produce great joy to all who receive it. The shadows will diminish and the clouds of
confusion will disappear. I Am the light that shines in your heart, which clears away the darkness of fear. You are my
beloved and I will always care for you. You will see the heavens declare my glory. The earth itself belongs to the Father
and he is redeeming it. All my promises will come to pass, so do not become anxious! You will see breakthroughs in the
lives you lift up to me in prayer. My Spirit is bringing much fruit through you in honor of my Name. It is in my Name that
you have authority to carry out my will. Draw even closer to me and take my yoke upon you for it is easy. What happens
depends upon me, so rely upon my goodness in everything you encounter. Love one another with the love I pour into you
by my Holy Spirit. Remember that he is the source of all that the Father has for you!
Love,
JESUS. I Corinthians 4:5-6

Blow the trumpet, sound the call your King is coming! I Am coming to bring the plan of the Heavenly Father to
completion. My Holy Spirit acts on my behalf, as he speaks life into the hearts of my believers. Trust me and don't be
fooled by the devices of the evil one! I have conquered and I will bring it to fulfillment. Set your mind at ease and focus
your attention on what I Am doing! The dam is about to burst and the flood of my Spirit will completely soak the land. The
storm is over and the building is about to begin. I will clear away the debris from the past and restore my house, person
by person. Wherever you turn you will see evidence of the new work I Am doing on the earth. It will not be confined or
limited. Spread your wings of faith and soar into the dawn of the day I have promised. Knock down the strongholds of
deceit and tear out the roots of bitterness! Cleanse and purify the temple of my Spirit who lives in you! Throw out the old
leaven of unfruitful works and enjoy the freedom of my favor. You have come through the fire and I have tempered the
sword of my Spirit in your heart. You know my love for what it is and you have been changed by it. There will be a radical
turnover of people in authority, as I raise up a new breed of leaders. Those who have been faithful over little will receive
much more for they have been proven worthy. Some who are raised up may have been there before in another capacity. I
will have mercy on which I will have mercy! It will be done according to the will of the Father. I will prosper my people, but
I will not indulge them. You will strike out in a new direction, as my Spirit takes hold of you. He will lead you beyond your
capacities, so you will totally depend upon me. I will not share my glory with another for it all belongs to the Father. I
have made a way for you through the wilderness to the place I have prepared for you. It is there that you will find the
person the Father created you to be!
Love,
Gunnar M. Johnson
Word received July 29. 1998

Shout for joy for your time is coming! What I have promised is now being fulfilled. My anointing is being poured out on all
that will receive it. My Holy Spirit is the power in that anointing and he produces the fruit for all to see. The enemy has
tried to destroy you but he is defeated. He cannot hold back what my Spirit is doing with you. It is my turn to carry out
the will of the Father for you. What is coming will be a revelation of the wonder of my glory. You will be awestruck by
what I can do in a very short time. The years of waiting will be worth it for everything will be turned around to my good
purposes. Remember, the light shines brightest, when the darkness is greatest. You are to move under the complete
direction of my Holy Spirit. He is your guide and your strength in all that will be happening. There will be an impartation of
wisdom and power that has never before been seen. You have been tested and the fire has purified you. You are walking
in my Spirit and he will be taking you further than you ever thought possible. Your assignments are being made ready
and the time appointed. Do not doubt what I can do with you or with anyone who belongs to me. I can even work through
those who don't believe. All are subject to me, whether they know it or not. Take the staff I have put in your hands and
open the way for my people into the Promised Land. Healing and deliverance will flow through you. You will speak it out
in the authority I have placed upon you. What I Am doing cannot be stopped. It is the new wave of my Spirit that is
washing over the whole earth. No one will be left untouched. Things will be changed in the twinkling of an eye. I have
chosen you to go and bear much fruit to glorify the Father. I have cleansed your heart and washed away your tears. You
will reflect the light of my countenance, wherever you go!
Love,
JESUS. Psalm 20:4-8.

Prophetic Words for August 1998

Gunnar M Johnson
Word received August 1, 1998
I have shattered the bow and broken the arrows that were aimed at you. I Am releasing my power in you and I Am
pouring out a fresh anointing upon you! My people will manifest my glory for all to see. I will bestow my freedom on one
and all, who come to me. This is the time to rejoice and celebrate my presence with you. My Holy Spirit will flood your
souls with light and might. You will stand strong against all fear and intimidation. You will be overcomers in every
situation and nothing is beyond my control. I allow what I allow to test you and make you confident in what I give you.
The seed of my truth is spread abroad by the wind of my Spirit. The action of the Spirit will override the conditions of
man. All things will submit to my Name and my authority! Speak it out of your mouth and see it come to pass! The
darkness and the confusion will be dispersed. Tears and mourning will give way to joy and dancing. No weapon formed
against you has succeeded nor will they! Lift up the banner of my Name and you will see the victory I have won. The
enemy is a defeated foe and I will put him under your feet. You will release the captives from every bondage and cruelty.
Healing will come under the wings of the eagle and the dove. Open hearts will be filled to overflowing by my Spirit. This is
the appointed time for you to step into the position I have created for you. It was foreordained in the heart of the Father.
Your identity was planned by him from before time began. He will shower you with the goodness of his tender love. There
is nothing too difficult for him and by his favor he makes all things possible. Bow down before him in humble devotion and
dedicated worship! It is the beginning of a new era that my Spirit is ushering into existence. Rest in my Spirit and leave it
all to him!
Love,
JESUS.
Joel 2:28-32 Gunnar M. Johnson
Hear the cry of the eagle, as he soars among you with the serpent in his beak. Listen for the new sound that is coming
from heaven and look for the vision that accompanies it. Entrust yourself to me for I will carry you through to the other
side. I have conquered the enemy and I Am setting my people free. My truth will prevail and it will close the mouths of my
detractors. I will lead you into places where no one has gone before you. I will lift you up to the heights where the Father
dwells in majesty. His hand is upon you and he is guiding you into the positions I have prepared for you. There has been
a stalemate up until now. It is the beginning of what I have promised. There will be radical turnovers in my Body of
believers. I have been preparing the hearts of many to do the Father's will. There has been agony and pain, as I have
removed the hindrances from your life. My Spirit is directing you. He will take you into many situations, where you will
exhibit my glory and presence. You will not be alone in this for I Am building an army of overcomers to go with you. There
will be no challenge too great or any victory too small. All will bring honor to my Name. Keep your focus on me and your
heart open to one another. You are not your own anymore for my blood has claimed you. It is difficult to be patient, as
you see what is going on, but know that it is all going according to the plan of the Father. He sees it all and you will not
fall from his hand. There is a gathering of my faithful ones for the final assault on hell. You are breaking chains and
tearing down strongholds. Each person healed and delivered is another blow for freedom. You will be equal to whatever
task I give you for I will be with you in it. Be bold, be strong for my power and might are in you!
Love,
JESUS. Psalm 28:6-9.
Gunnar M. Johnson.
A time of tribulation may be coming, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. The earth belongs to the Father
along with all the fullness of it. You are part of something greater than you can see. You are to play your part in it and do
what I call you to do. There is breaking going on and it is necessary for the healing to come. Be certain that the Father is
in charge of all that is taking place. He has strategic purposes in everything that is happening. This is why you can
believe that all things work together for good. Take care of what comes to hand and leave the rest to me. You can only be
responsible for what I give to you. What is beyond your control is beyond your efforts. Your praying that lifts persons and
situations up to me make it possible for me to carry out my plans there. Be aware of the position I have placed you in
and follow my direction in it. You do not determine the final outcome of events but I do! Trust me and believe in me that I
will bring about a victory in every circumstance. Tragedy strikes because of the fallen condition of humanity and the
earth, but nothing is beyond my reach. The lies of the enemy have been hammering at you but I have lifted them off of
you. I will give you the targets to aim at and I will supply you with what you will need to hit them. It is time to move on in
the calling I have given you and to proceed to the next step in the process of restoration. There is something wonderful
waiting for you, just around the corner. My lightning is about to flash across the sky heralding the approach of the new
day that I have promised. You will be stepping into a wholly different set of circumstances than you have ever known.
Your faithfulness is not being overlooked. I know your heart and I will sustain you in all that occurs. I will also be meeting
the needs of those around you. Rejoice and be glad for we have already triumphed! The time of my appearing is not far
away. I Am gathering you with all my people into a formidable force in these end times. You will be giants in the land that
I have given you!
Love,
JESUS. Galatians 6:7-10.
Gunnar M. Johnson.
I have triumphed mightily and the glory of my majesty will overwhelm you. It is the appointed time for my people to come
fully into their own. The coming wave of my Holy Spirit will engulf many in the wonders of my purposes. The Father has
established his plan and now it will be revealed for all to see. Wait for it with a willing and expectant heart! The days of
confusion are over, as you find your place in the great outpouring. There will be an awakening like never before seen on
the earth. My Spirit has been building to this event, as he has prepared many for what they will be doing in it. The
pressures and challenges you have faced have conditioned you. You have discovered the power of faith, as you met each
situation with the strength that I have supplied from above. Search out your calling in me and be ready to step into it! You
have exhibited the character of my faithfulness in what I have given you. You have weathered the storms, as I brought you
through them. My anointing is increasing, as you proceed in the mission my Father has for you. You will manifest my
love in healing and deliverance, wherever I send you. The presence of my Spirit will be evident in what you speak and do.
His seal is the mark of my election and it will empower you for mighty exploits in my Name. The sound of eagles wings
will be heard wherever you attend to the work of the Father. I Am unleashing a powerful force of believers on the earth
who will carry out the commands of the Father. The ingathering of souls will reach monumental proportions. The nets will
be stretched to the breaking point. The hopes and fears of all the generations will find their fulfillment in what is beginning
on the earth.
Love,
JESUS. Ephesians 5:8-21.
Gunnar M. Johnson.
My eagles are gathering to prepare for the final assault of these last days! I Am bringing them from the north, the south,
the east and the west. I Am drawing them from every corner of my earth. You will stand as a mighty bastion of my truth
in a dark and dying world. My voice will be echoed in your words, as you speak by my Holy Spirit. You have now stepped
into the position of authority that I have planned for you. All who are called by my Name will recognize my anointing upon
you and will receive you in my Name. The sent ones are being set aside for the missions I have for them. They will
experience an imparting of power that will be overwhelming to those around them. It will produce signs and wonders
wherever they go. Healing and deliverance will be a normal follow through of all that you do. There will be a restoration of
hearts, lives and relationships for all that come to me with open hearts. It is a time for greater commitment by all my
people. You will raise my banners of righteousness to catch the wind of my Spirit, as it begins to blow across the earth.
This will be an all-encompassing move of my Spirit that will touch every person alive today. The focus of my church is
being shifted to a wider, more inclusive understanding of my will. The blessing of the Father will be manifested in an ever-
increasing intensity. I have established you in my calling for such a time as this. You have been chosen and separated to
me by my Spirit. He is carrying out the will of the Father. There will be a fresh boldness in you that will override every
hesitation in your personality. You stand as a herald of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. You no longer represent
yourself, you now have become my personal ambassador. You are prepared and ready to fulfill my commission!
Love,
JESUS. II Corinthians 5: 16-20.
Gunnar M. Johnson.
Word received August 20, 1998 in Charlotte, NC
The face of my grace is shining upon you. The hope of my glory is released in you. I Am about to show you great signs
and wonders that will fully convince you of my power and love. You have faithfully stood your ground and now you are
going to conquer new territories in my Name. I Am destroying the enemy before you and opening the land for you to
occupy. Step out in faith and wipe away the tears of my anointed ones. You are called to be an equipper in my Kingdom
empowering my people to do mighty exploits. It will be through the releasing of my Holy Spirit in them. This is your
purpose and it will be accomplished most successfully. Always, approach my throne of mercy expecting to be filled with
new energy for the work that lies ahead of you. You will be intolerant of evil and compassionate toward the victims of it.
There will be a fresh stream of prophecy released in you for the nations. Your field of endeavor is ever increasing, as you
trust me with more and more of your life. Keep your focus steady on what I have shown you. Take the keys that I have
given you to open the doors of opportunity for yourself and for others. The keys are obedience and perseverance. Once
the way is clear, pursue the goal to the final conclusion. I Am placing in your hands new gifts to be used in your pursuit
of my excellence. These gifts are people, as well as abilities and resources. I Am building zeal and boldness for all that
you will be doing for me. There will be increased freedom in your worship and in your testimony of me. I have set my seal
upon you and I have claimed you for great things that will glorify our Father. What has been promised has already been
given to you. Be ready to step out in it!
Love,
JESUS. Colossians 1:27
Gunnar M. Johnson
I have sowed the seeds of victory in your life. Now you will see the harvest of all that I have done in you. The flow of my
Spirit through you will be phenomenal, as the fruit of my calling is released. What is coming will overshadow anything
that has happened before. The latter days will be far greater than the former. Your obedience will be crucial in all that is
taking place. I will make you faithful, as I Am faithful. You will reflect my nature, which I Am forming in you. The old is
fading away, as the new is coming into being. You will no longer be distracted from your destiny by the minor skirmishes
around you. You will set your face like flint and pursue the vision I have given you. There will be health and success in all
that you do. The enemy will flee, as you call upon my Name. His weapons and words will fall to the ground. You are at
the beginning of what my Father has planned for you at this time. He is opening opportunities that will glorify his Name
and he is putting together creative ideas that will fulfill his will. The healing power of my love will abound among you. It will
be my mercy that triumphs over all things. Take up the sword of my Spirit and wield it with accuracy striking at the heart
of the conditions you encounter. There will be supernatural visitations and manifestations. I Am pulling out all the stops
for a crescendo of my majesty. You will cry holy along with my angels, as my presence falls upon you. It is a time of
deliverance and freedom for all that come to me. I Am increasing my anointing on all my followers. They will mount up
with wings like eagles and soar among the mountaintops of my beauty. There will be a clash of mighty forces and
nothing will hinder the outcome I will bring. You are standing on the threshold of the greatest harvest of souls ever seen
on the earth and you will be a part of it!
Love,
Gunnar M. Johnson.
I have broken through the last walls of opposition. Follow my lead, as I take you through to occupy the high ground and
take possession of the land I have given you. Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Discern the strategies of the
enemy and take appropriate action. My Holy Spirit is leading you forward into the victory I have won. You are my beloved
ones, my friends with whom I share my heart and vision of the final outcome of all things. Be obedient, as my Spirit
directs you to move in the way he shows you! It is my wisdom that governs him and in turn enlightens you. Be open to
the light that comes from above, which will give you understanding and insight. Tear down the strongholds of selfishness
and apathy in your own life. Then turn and destroy the enemy strongholds of greed and avarice. My anointing is joined to
my character, which is imparted to you, as you trust in me. Faith is taking up my cross and allowing it to have its perfect
work in your life. Faith is doing what I command, even when you don't understand. It is the relationship we have that
overshadows all fear. Come with me, as I begin the new work that is coming on the earth. My Spirit is about to move with
increased power among those that are yielded to him. Healing and restoration will follow brokenness, as my people come
into their rightful place in me. There will be a fresh outpouring of my gifts on those who are willing to receive what I have
for them. There will be a new intensity and zeal, as you worship the Father. Heaven itself will come down and impart a
deeper awareness of who we are. The sound from above will increase in magnitude, until it fills the whole earth. The
gathering together of my people will accelerate until they are fully one in me. This is a time of testing and sorting out for I
Am coming soon. Humbly bow your heart before the Father and let him fill you again with my Spirit!
Love,
JESUS. Colossians 3:12-17.

Prophetic Words for September 1998

Gunnar M. Johnson
Word received September 1, 1998
My lightning will penetrate the darkness and the sound of my thunder will follow. You will know it is from me for my Spirit
will reveal it in your heart. The waiting time is over and the wilderness journey is almost complete. I have strengthened
your arm to carry the sword of my Spirit into the final battle. Deep calls to deep and the waterfall of our presence are
about to be abundantly poured out upon you. It will be a sound never before heard upon the earth and it will shatter the
last vestiges of the enemy's opposition. The gates of hell will not prevail against it, as my people are on the march. The
trumpet is sounding and the beat of my drums has begun. The war cry of my eagles will be heard, as they come
screaming in for the attack. The nests of serpents are about to be destroyed. My army is being raised to their feet and
my Holy Spirit is issuing their orders. The preparations have been made and many have gone through the training in my
righteousness. You will go out in my strength filled by my power to carry out the will of the Father. He is the source of
everything you will need to complete your assignment. He has called you into his glorious Kingdom and he has placed
you in the position of his choosing. Be obedient to his voice and follow his directions in all that is taking place. You will
be carried on eagles' wings to the far corners of his Kingdom, where you will serve his purposes for this time. It is for
such a time as this that he has called you. He is clothing you in the armor of his boldness and confidence. He has
placed upon you a mantle of his authority to carry out his plan. The anointing of my Spirit will produce a harvest of souls,
healed and delivered from the wiles of the evil one. You are in the river of my revival and it will carry you far from familiar
shores into the depths of the mystery of our majesty. It is the new day that I have promised!
Love,
JESUS.
Psalm 47.
Gunnar M. Johnson
The work of my Spirit is never finished, it is always going on. He is acting in your life, my wonders to perform. He is
opening fresh possibilities for the growth of my Kingdom. He moves from the heart of the Father to your heart. He is
turning people around, so they can see the truth and be set free. He is opening doors if opportunity, as well as breaking
down the gates of opposition. This is a time of great change and movement in the earth. People groups everywhere are
being exposed to the light of my message in many and various ways. I Am impacting them with great power and
penetrating through many layers of darkness. You are standing on the threshold of a radical outpouring of my Spirit that
will take your breath away. There will be a whirlwind effect, as he moves across the nations. Many things will just
disappear from the face of the earth. The heavens themselves will erupt with signs of gigantic proportions. One thing after
another will occur in rapid succession. The wheat will be winnowed and the chaff will be blown away. My cause will be
unveiled in all its glory. Unknown peoples will bow before me in complete submission. Walls will part and those I have
called will pass through them easily. This will be a total work of my Spirit, as he touches every place in the universe with
the scepter of my authority. The curtain will be raised on the final act of the world's drama. The veils that have covered
hearts and minds will be pulled back, so all can see what is happening. The dragon will face the final challenge of the
woman. She will trample him under her feet. The case of my righteousness will be completely justified, as the redeemed
come flocking into my sanctuary. What you have sown will bear fruit for good or evil, according to the nature of the seed.
I will have the last dance before the great and final day arrives!
Love,
JESUS.
Revelation 19:6-10
Gunnar M. Johnson
I Am proclaiming my victory to all who will receive it as their own. I have broken the weapons formed against you, so they
cannot succeed. I Am giving you a fresh anointing from my Holy Spirit that will move you far beyond your present
circumstances. You are to follow me closely and listen for my voice so you can respond to it quickly. I Am widening the
gap between you and the enemy. He is daily losing ground, as you draw closer to me. It is a time for great rejoicing, as
my people come into their own in me. You will see the answers to your prayers and the fulfillment of my promises. Walk
in obedience under the command of my Spirit for he will lead you into the great campaign of my Kingdom. The arrows of
truth are hitting their mark and the captives are being set free. The more you hunger after my righteousness, the more
you will receive of my favor. I will feed you with my bread of life and you will be filled. The succeeding generations will
listen to my voice because you have been faithful. The opponents to my message will lose all credibility before the world.
My heavenly hosts are even now swarming down around you. There will be a shout of deliverance coming from the
multitudes that are coming to me. I Am arming you with the weapons of my Spirit to accomplish mighty exploits in my
Name. Principalities and powers are being stricken from their positions by your testimony. Sing and speak out in the
language of my Spirit for the enemy cannot stand it. He flees from it. I Am loosing healing power throughout my Kingdom
and it will also penetrate the darkness that surrounds the world. Your bowing down before the Father releases the might
of my Holy Spirit among you. The trembling knees are strengthened and the fearful heart is restored. Come up higher into
my presence and know my love for you. I Am calling you to enter into the holy place of my glory!
Love,
JESUS.
II Corinthians 10:3-6.
Gunnar M. Johnson
I Am releasing the eagle anointing upon you. You will soar to the heights in worship and celebration. You will swoop
down and destroy the oppressing serpent. I Am pouring out my Spirit on all the sons and daughters who will receive me.
There is a mighty wave of my Spirit coming with healing and deliverance. He will wash away the tears of loss and
despair. He will restore my joy and replace sadness with gladness. He will lift off the yoke of oppression and depression
that have held you down. Rise up my people and take your rightful place in my Kingdom! I Am turning your lives around
to reflect the glory of my presence with you. I Am sowing the seeds of revival everywhere and watering them with my
compassion. Seek me in my Word and in my Spirit for there you will find me in the fullness of my love. There are
changes of direction coming for you. What you thought was your destiny is being changed for a better one. It is in your
total dependence upon me and on my Spirit in you that you will discover a new day opening for you. Bury the past and
move on into what I have prepared for you. There are startling events coming which will reshape your whole understanding
of what I have in store for you. You have come through the fire of my purification and the wilderness journey, which have
drawn you closer to me. Listen to what my Spirit is saying to you! He is guiding your steps and he has established my
provision for you. He is in command of your allegiance to me. He speaks out of the fullness of the heart of the Father. We
know what is before you and we have been making you ready for it. Everything has been set and all of the preparations
completed. Watch for it to happen and embrace it with boldness! The earth and the nations will be shaken but you will
remain steadfast in me. Fix your attention on the goal we are setting before you!
Love,
JESUS.
Isaiah 43:18-21
Gunnar M. Johnson
The battle is over and the victory is won by my righteousness. I send the message that all may come to the dawning of
my new day. My truth will triumph in every circumstance and situation. I Am pouring out my Spirit without measure or
limitation. I will reveal what I Am about to do to those who are willing to listen. I Am giving you a mantle of authority
without precedent. You will speak with power and conviction in all the places that I send you. You have stood the test of
time and you have withstood the challenges of the enemy. You have persevered in your reliance upon me. You are a
tempered sword in the hands of my Spirit and he will use you mightily in the days ahead. You are about to enter a new
arena of endeavor for my Kingdom. You are stepping through an open door that I have set before you. Some will go with
you through it, while others will remain where they are. You are not to wait for them but you are to proceed with the work
at hand. Keep your eyes and your heart focused on me above everything else. What you see in the natural is a delusion
of the enemy. Look into the realm of my Holy Spirit and let him direct you in the true reality, which is mine. It will be in
the activity of faith that you will see the real condition of things around you. You are to operate in the rule of my Kingdom,
where my Holy Spirit commands! He will guide and direct you in everything that pertains to life. What is seen in the world
is only death and destruction. You are freed from the wiles of the enemy and the veil of his deception has been torn from
your eyes. Now, you are to strike him with the Word of my Spirit, which is upon your lips. The walls he has built up will
dissolve before you. The cry of the eagle will be in your mouth and my signs will flow around you. I have appointed you for
my purposes and those only will you serve!
Love,
JESUS
Isaiah 45:21-25.
Gunnar M. Johnson
I Am breaking through to the inner core of the rebellion. I Am tearing down strongholds. I Am emptying the dungeons
where the prisoners are held. I Am turning my people around from a defensive position to an offensive one. This is a new
day and it comes as a revelation to everyone who believes. There are no precedents nor is there any preconceived
understanding for what is coming. It will be a sovereign move of the Father upon the earth. You are being prepared for it,
as my Holy Spirit is training you in righteousness and truth. He is drawing the lines, the lines that you are to stand on
and to receive from him all that you will need. I Am gathering my beloved ones from every corner of the earth and from
every persuasion of life. There are no favorites for I will give what I will on those whom I will for the glory of the Father. It is
my Kingdom that is being established in the hearts of those that I Am calling to serve. It is the rule of my love that is
being manifested. The enemy has sought to kill you but I Am greater than he is and I have overthrown his evil tactics. Be
ready to receive your next set of orders for what is about to take place. I Am raising up a mighty army of believers to
carry the banner of my victory into the very heartland of the opposition. My Spirit will come like a tidal wave covering the
whole continent of humanity. He will cover you from shore to shore. He will empower you to make mighty inroads in the
kingdom of darkness. You will deliver many from the forces that have held them captive. Healing light will dawn on the
oppressed and they will be set free from their infirmities. Now, enter my courts with praise and come before me with
shouts of worship for I Am with you. My presence surrounds you and my joy fills you with peace. The signs and wonders
will catch the attention of those I have chosen to come into my Kingdom. Be prepared to stand among the giants of faith
for you will be one of them!
Love,
JESUS
II Timothy 1:6-7
Gunnar M. Johnson
The sign of my presence will be like a lightning flash across the sky for all to see. My voice will come with the sound of
thunder for all to hear. Believe what my Spirit is saying to my people today! My Spirit, as he speaks within you will echo
the revelation that comes from above. There will be a confirmation of everything that I Am giving you, so you will not go
astray. I will mislead no one for I have a clear message that you will be able to understand and it will have meaning for
you. My truth will come like a sword penetrating even the most closed of individuals. There will be no doubt about what I
Am showing everyone. I Am just and I will give every opportunity to anyone who is willing to receive. It will be their choice
to have it for themselves for I seek to give it to them. Trust me with everything that concerns you for I will bring everything
together in perfect harmony. Even the most diverse will be able fit in with what I Am doing. What is coming into being is
the new thing that I have promised. Your part is to be ready by yielding totally to my Holy Spirit. Let go of any pre-
judgment of people or circumstances. I Am greater than anything and I know the end from the beginning. Believe that I
have everything under control, even the enemy is subject to me. Flow in the things I give you and take them in the order
you receive them. The seeds have taken root and the harvest is not far behind. The light is dawning and what was hidden
will be disclosed. Be prepared for my call, when it comes! The door is already open and the way has been made clear for
you. It will all happen according to the time that the Father has set. It will be done according to his will. Rest in me and
wait for the guiding of my Spirit! Be at peace in the center of the coming whirlwind of events! I have triumphed!
Love,
JESUS John 15:16-17 Gunnar M. Johnson
Rejoice and be glad for my victory has come to bring peace and hope to all that will receive! I have turned things around,
so the wind of my Spirit can catch the sails of your soul. I will carry you through the storms safely to the other side. Sow
my truth, wherever you go and trust the work I Am doing through it! My Holy Spirit has taken command and he will lead
you on to the Promised Land. You will be like eagles swooping down on your prey and driving your enemy before you. I
Am standing at your side speaking my wisdom into your actions. It is my love that triumphs every time. It will cast out all
fear and restore faith in those who will follow me. There is an open door of opportunity that I have set before you, which no
one can shut. My Spirit is leading you through it, even when you are not aware of it. Your obedience to him and your
loyalty to my Kingdom are the keys, which will open every door. My Spirit is also unlocking lives to the wonders of my
glory. Those who have been held captive in their delusions and illusions will see a great light, as my presence appears
before them. I have shattered the works of the evil one and I Am pouring out my Spirit of liberty on my beloved ones. The
heavenly host is allied with you in the conquest of my creation. What belongs to the Father will be rightly declared as his!
Make no mistake his will is sovereign and his ways are being done on earth, as in heaven. You are my appointed and
anointed to do mighty exploits for my Kingdom. My rule stretches from sea to sea and from continent to continent. I Am
not limited in my sphere of influence. My glory will be revealed in the darkest places and I will accomplish the will of the
Father in the most impossible of situations.
Love,
JESUS

Prophetic Words for October 1998

Gunnar M. Johnson
Word received October 9, 1998
I come like lightning striking to the very heart. My voice will speak like thunder for all to hear. I will speak to you in the
intimacy of our conversation in a still, small voice. Trust that I Am working everything to the best for everyone who is
concerned. You have heard and you have acted on what I have shown you. Continue to be obedient and watch the glory
of my presence being manifested among you. My light is dawning on the horizon and my goodness will shine down on all
that will receive me. Keep your focus on my Kingdom and my righteousness for there is the victory. I have overcome the
world system and I have defeated the enemy. You are free to enjoy the love of the Father forever. I Am binding up the
broken hearts and I Am giving them a new lease on life. The eagles are gathering for the final assault on the last
strongholds of resistance to my will being accomplished. You will bring them down and my Spirit will enter in with the
fullness of my favor. You are in training for the establishment of my Kingdom rule on the earth. You have received much,
but there is far more to come. Be attentive to the signs of the times and interpret them according to the revelation of my
Holy Spirit! Do not venture out on your own but be subject to the command of my Spirit! He will give you your orders for
when you are to take action. Watch and wait for the appointed hour! I Am building you together with others into a holy
sanctuary where my Spirit has free reign in all matters. You are anointed as a royal priesthood in the household of your
Heavenly Father. He rejoices over you with singing and his redemptive power rests upon you. Be patient but not
complacent for my zeal is in you!
Love,
JESUS
Hebrews 11:1
Gunnar Milton Johnson
My sound will shatter the stillness that rests between heaven and earth. I will penetrate the darkness with the light of my
truth. The weapons of my Spirit will break the shackles of fear and discord. My Spirit brings harmony to the heart and
mind of all that receive him. He discloses what was hidden, so it can be cleansed and healed by my blood. Whatever
happens will be turned to good, as you allow it to be left in my hands. To relinquish your control to me is to enter into the
true freedom of life. I have called you to be eagles soaring above the circumstances and riding ever higher on the wind
currents of my Spirit. You are heaven bound not bound to the earth. The only limits you have are those that you place
upon yourself. In me you will find the fullness of life without the constraints of pride and sin. There is a mighty heritage
and inheritance for you from the Heavenly Father. He has given you much and there is even more waiting for you. All he
asks in return is for your faithfulness in what he has already given you. Then he can pour out the rest that he has for you.
He looks on the heart but he enjoys the fruit, as well. There has been a turning point in my Kingdom for you and you are
about to reap the benefits. I have targeted the enemy strongholds and I Am tearing them down. You are standing in the
center of what I Am doing and I Am producing a great victory there. The results of what is taking place will extend far
beyond what you can see or even know. Your obedience to the leading of my Holy Spirit is crucial to the final outcome of
what is happening. My people are part of the effort that I Am exerting upon the world today. You carry the seeds of
change and transformation with you. You speak into existence what my Spirit wants for this time. There is still time for
repentance and restoration to occur. The trumpet has sounded for the gathering of every tribe and tongue!
Love,
JESUS
Hebrews 12:28-29
The truth is being seen in every circumstance and situation. What was hidden is being exposed. What was denied is
being brought to the light. In all of this my purposes are being accomplished. The plan of the Father stands behind all of
it. It is time for you to humble yourself before the Father and to trust in him above all things. He alone is God! I have
broken through the walls of sin and death. My Holy Spirit is drawing you into the circle of our eternal presence. There is
no time like the present and no future like today. You will be called to make many decisions but you must rely upon our
wisdom for them. We will lead you to the right ones in the light of what we know as the final outcome. There is a time
coming when no human understanding will be of help in dealing with what is taking place. The only thing that has lasting
significance is the relationship you have with the Father through me by the Holy Spirit. This is what will continue after
everything else is gone. Your value and worth is tied up in our favor and mercy. Self-righteousness is no righteousness at
all. The righteousness that comes from our love is the one that will carry you from earth to heaven. It is our love in you
that removes the selfishness and restores a true humanity in you. To live is to love, as we have loved you. It reaches
beyond time and eternity. It has neither partiality nor limitation. It goes out to everyone and it is freely given. So will your
love be, if it is our love working in you. The fire of my Spirit will come and burn up the chaff and purify the true gold of our
life in you. There will be a radical transformation of everything you know and see. It is the age of faith, where it all
depends upon my Kingdom coming alive in you!
Love,
JESUS
James 3:13-18
I have broken through the walls. I Am widening the gap so more of my people can come into their inheritance. My Spirit
is moving steadily to the completion of the plans that my Father has for you. Take a rest once in awhile so I can refresh
you for the next phase of what I have for you. You have heard my voice and you have responded according to my will.
Trust me, as I lead you into a totally new experience of my Kingdom. You have just entered the land of my promise,
press in further. There is much more ahead of you and far more than you have ever imagined. I have challenged you and
your exercise of faith has increased it tremendously. You have been prepared for the next step of your journey. When the
trumpet sounds, act accordingly for the way has been opened for you. You will continue to sow, even as you reap the
harvest I have given you. There will be an ongoing increase and growth for all that have entered into my calling. You will
begin to exhibit my character of faithfulness in all of your dealings. Many have been called and few have been chosen for I
desire obedience to the will of the Father. I Am concerned with the hidden things, as well as with what is seen. I see into
the heart and I see the daily expressions of your obedience. The wave of my Spirit is coming to fulfill my claims upon the
peoples. He will come in ways you never expected. He will roll over the remaining opposition and he will turn the
wilderness into a flourishing field. Keep your focus on what I have revealed to you and do not look around at others. My
Holy Spirit has kissed my bride and she is waking up, ever so slowly. Yet, she will be ready when I come!
Love,
JESUS
I Peter 2:9
Shout out my Name loud and clear so the nations will hear! I Am calling for the redemption of my people from Israel to
the Gentiles. I seek them all to come into my Kingdom. The new day of my promise is dawning for all to see. I Am
releasing my eagles far and wide to do battle for me. Close at hand I Am drawing many by my Spirit. He has begun the
gathering of the called and chosen for the completion of the work of the Father. I Am anointing them for true and faithful
servanthood. You are royal priests who will spread the banner of worship over my beloved ones. It will be a canopy of my
love and mercy. Throw yourself completely into what is coming for in it you will hear the great sound from above. It is time
to enter into the covenant of faith that flows from my heart to yours. Trust that I will fulfill all that the Father has
commanded me! Turn your thoughts and face toward the wind of my Spirit that is blowing from the east. Things are
happening which will be a foretaste of the final outcome of the ages. You will experience the glory of my presence in the
small places, as well as the large ones. None of my chosen will be left out of what I Am doing on the earth. Humble
yourself before me in full obedience to my will. Allow my Holy Spirit to have his way in you. Yield to him the foremost
place in your life. The fields are ready to be harvested and I Am raising up those who will bring it into my Kingdom. The
walls that divide will fall and I will build bridges of understanding. Stand firm in my truth that I have revealed to you. Let it
carry you through every confrontation that you encounter. Deep calls to deep and I Am there in the center of it. The way
is set and my time has come!
Love,
JESUS
I Peter 4:7-11
The trumpet is sounding again and the drums are beating for war. My people are being called to take their positions in
me. I Am raising up my standard to fly from the ramparts of my Kingdom declaring that the King is there. Come to me
and bring the wounded so I can heal them. My star has ascended in the heavens like a rocket to catch the attention of
the world. It is the great gathering time and I Am bringing the large numbers into my redemption. The wind of my Spirit is
stirring them up and the cloud of my presence is drawing them in. My anointing is increasing in magnitude and extending
out to encompass greater and greater numbers. The personal knowledge of who I Am is becoming more and more
evident. I Am seeking a deeper intimacy with you as well. I desire to have continuous communion with you. I Am
touching everything and everyone you touch. My glory is flowing down upon you and spreading out from you. It is my love
that you are experiencing and it will bring you a greater sense of fulfillment than anything else you will encounter. Yield
yourself to it and you will not be disappointed. Let down your guard and allow my Spirit to have full reign in your life. I Am
removing all fear and uncertainty from your daily walk with me. You are becoming eagles that soar on the wind of my
Spirit, which will carry you further than your own strength is able to do. There will be a joy that will change your ways and
your thinking. There will be a peace that will overcome every distraction. It all comes from the Father rejoicing over you
and desiring to give you his best. It will disarm your enemies and turn them into friends. It will remove the barriers of
hatred and false pride that separate you from each other. All that I have for you will expand your horizons and fill your
days with my goodness.
Love,
JESUS
II Peter 1:3-11
There is a voice calling to you from the wilderness, hear it and answer with what I give you. I have living water ready to be
poured out in a greater quantity than you have ever seen. It will flood the land with new life, which will flourish in much
fruit. The time is drawing near for the next great event, which will change hearts and enlighten souls. Be prepared to do
your part, when it occurs! Store up provisions for that day for when it comes there will be no time to do it. Drink in my
Spirit with a new thirst for what he will give you. Let your life be saturated with my truth. Open your eyes to see what I
Am doing among you! I Am preparing a lasting inheritance for those who will receive my favor. Set your focus on what is
eternal and invest your treasure in it. I desire a passion to be released in you for my Kingdom and zealousness for the
will of the Father. When the wind of my Spirit begins to increase in strength, only those who have made themselves
ready will be able to stand in it. The rest will be blown away. I seek the heart and then the head. I long for your surrender
to my love and a willingness to be led by it. There is a cost that only the faithful can pay. There is a need to let go of
what you claim as your own and to be released to what my Spirit will show you. My Word will speak to you with a fresh
and meaningful understanding for this day. You will come alive with the joy of it. The enemy has introduced fear into your
life and I want to bring liberty instead. When you have been crucified with me and all that matters will be what I reveal to
you, then you will be truly free. You will love with a compassion that will break your heart, as mine was broken. You will
discover who you really are!
Love,
JESUS
II Peter 3:8-13
The fruit is on the tree and the harvest is coming. What I have planned for this time is taking place. I have set things in
motion that cannot be stopped. Doors will swing open and others will be shut. Nations will rise and some will fall. There
are many changes coming which will challenge the hearts and minds of those who do not believe. I Am shattering the
delusions and illusions that the enemy has put on people. I Am sowing my righteousness in every corner of the field.
Light and darkness cannot co-exist. My light has overcome the darkness. I Am driving out the forces of darkness from
the territory I have conquered. My blood cries out from the earth and the Father hears the call. He is bringing about the
final steps of his eternal plan. Be encouraged, as you stand under my banner of victory! You will be moving into places of
greater and greater significance. My anointing is increasing as it extends to more and more of those who call upon my
Name. I Am arming you with more of the weapons of my Spirit to succeed where others have failed. You have moved
ahead in your efforts to establish my Kingdom. You will see marvelous results of your patient faithfulness. You have
proved worthy in what I have put in your hands and now I will give you even more. My Kingdom is growing and flourishing,
as my Spirit takes hold of more and more of my devoted servants. The dividing walls are coming down and the distrust is
being dissolved. Set your heart and mind on what I reveal to you! Trust my Spirit in you to show you the right way to go!
He has the mind of the Father and knows what he intends to do. There will be a ground swell of my Spirit among my
people that will carry you into the new millenium. My victory is complete and I have established it in you!
Love,
JESUS

Prophetic Words for November 1998

Gunnar M. Johnson
The fearful and awesome respect for the Father is the beginning of real wisdom. Trust in me for I bring
understanding! Faith in what we reveal to you will produce much joy and peace. The time of my
coming is not delayed for it will be right on time. When you wait for it with an expectant heart seeking
to fulfill our direction for you, there will be a fresh impartation of my Spirit to you. I Am surrounding you
with a great host of witnesses who will proclaim my truth with you. I Am separating the darkness from
the light and I Am disclosing the will of the Father for you. Changes for my people will be coming
suddenly, so be ready to respond to them. The sound from heaven is beginning to resound throughout
my Kingdom, where my holy ones are gathered. The screech of the eagles as they swoop upon their
prey is also being heard. I Am destroying the works of the evil one in every place where they are
found. My people are slowly awakening to what is taking place around them. It is in their awareness
that I can make an effective application of what my Spirit is saying to them. There is a power struggle
going on in the spiritual realm, but I have already won the victory. My chosen ones who are called by
my Name will stand on the heights and see my glory pass before them. The majesty of our presence
will topple idols and bring people to their knees in true worship. You will see into the spiritual realm
and know what is taking place on the earth. There will be lightning strikes of power that will disrupt the
routine of many. I will catch the attention of those who have missed me before and I will draw them to
me. It is time for another chance in the opportunity of a lifetime. Yours will be the enviable task of
joining them to me by my Holy Spirit working through you. It is the best of times, believe me!
Love,
JESUS
Psalm 97
The fire of my Spirit is coming to inflame my people with new zeal for my Kingdom. I Am stirring up
your passion for the things that give honor to the Father. My love is being released in you so others will
receive the fruit of it. You are to bear my presence so as to bring change into the lives around you. You
will carry the power of my Spirit and his authority wherever you go. You are to be a light in the
darkness, a sign of hope in the market place. I desire to dwell in your homes, as well as in your hearts.
The earth is mine and my presence will be known in every corner of it. When you come together to
worship the Father by my Spirit and in true holiness, I Am glad. When you stand in the center of the
whirlwind and bear witness to me, I rejoice. When you take the battle to the enemy, I Am jubilant. Life
is to be enjoyed to the fullest, as I have given it to you. My people come to me and they are renewed.
You are sent by me with a message of reconciliation for all to hear. To seek my face is not to seek
your own way but to come before me in joyful obedience. You will be transforming those around you by
your healthy respect for the Father and his will. It is in your experience of freedom from fear that others
will find hope. There is time enough for what I have planned for your life. What I show you will bring
encouragement to my people and open the way for the fulfillment of their lives. I will give meaning to all
that affects you. Proceed as my Spirit guides you for he knows the outcome of all things! He will link
you to those who will also soar as eagles in the face of the adversary. You will stand approved before
me and in the eyes of all that know you. I Am building a living sanctuary composed of those who have
answered my call. You have opened the door of faith and entered into the great hall of heroes, who
have carried my cross. Your latter days will be far greater than the former ones. I have saved the best
for last. You will sing a new song and the earth will be filled with my glory!
Love,
JESUS
Psalm 98
Word received November 3, 1998
The truth of my righteousness will go out to all the nations and peoples. The revelation of my glory will
be manifested in every corner of the universe. The heavens will declare it and the earth will be flooded
by my light. The time of renewal and resurrection is coming upon my people. I Am turning everything
around for them, as I Am turning the world upside down. You will be a force to be reckoned with by the
principalities and powers. You are mighty in me and you will stand victorious against all contenders
who come against me. You will tear down the strongholds of deceit and deception. You will awaken
hearts and minds to consider my love for them. You will show a remarkable ability to bring success out
of disaster. It will be from the wisdom and strength that my Spirit pours into you. He is the authority
who rules your life. You have been captivated by the Father"s love, which has changed you inside and
out. You are my knight in shining armor that raises up my banner of hope for all to see. The struggles
you have endured have made you strong in me. You have learned not to lean on your own
understanding but to depend upon my Spirit in all things. There will be a great silence upon the earth,
as it waits for the revealing of my glorious Kingdom. You who know me by faith have my Kingdom
within you for I dwell in your innermost being. There will however be a full disclosure of my Kingdom for
all to see. It will be, when the final curtain is lifted from the eyes of the unbelievers and all will see me
as I Am. The darkness will have fallen away, as the fire of my Spirit becomes fully visible. The trumpet
will sound and the faithful will rally together for the last battle. The enemy will go down to defeat and my
holy city will be established forever!
Love,
JESUS
Psalm 100
My lightning will strike when you least expect it. I will change the course of history for it is all under the
hand of the Father. The earth is his and all that is in it. Yet to love there must be an open response to
our love. We have released you to find your way to us and into our Kingdom. We draw you and seek
you. Our presence is there for you to experience. There are still decisions for you to make. You can
refuse what we desire for you. Right now, the door is open and there is a ready welcome waiting. The
time grows short and there is a call to zeal on the part of those who believe. We are calling out to
those who have never heard. We search out those who have fallen through the cracks as well. The
banquet is prepared and all are invited. The wind is beginning to blow and the sails are being tested.
My Spirit is becoming more and more evident to those who have been seeking me. He is reaching
into hearts that once were closed. He is expressing our love in many and varied ways. He is
establishing a fresh hope in many that have become lukewarm. There is a new excitement coming to
my Body of believers, as they look forward to the harvest. You are about to be joined by a whole flood
of people who have been caught up in this wave of my Spirit. The old wineskins will burst, as the new
wine is poured out. The new wineskins will be expanding, as the Holy Spirit bubbles up to the surface.
You have been appointed for such a time as this for you have weathered many changes that have
already taken place. You have sunk your roots deep into the heart of the Father and you are bearing
his fruit in your life. Draw closer to me in prayer and intercession. Throw yourself into the worship in my
Kingdom. Do not look back but seek the heavenly city that lies ahead of you. Be patient and trust my
judgment in everything that comes before you. I Am with you always!
Love,
JESUS
Mark 2:21-22
The fire of my righteousness will rain down and burn up what is not of me. I will pour out my love and
favor on what remains. I will cleanse my people of all that hinders them. I will fill them with a passion for
my truth and my Kingdom. I will restore the broken and the lost. I will heal hearts and lives. I will turn
around the fortunes of many by my gracious will. Be prepared to move out into the harvest, when I tell
you it is time! I will untangle you from unprofitable pursuits, which are wasteful for your energy. I Am
sharpening you in the principles of my Kingdom. You need to step into my river again and be caught in
the flow of what I Am doing today. Yesterday's bread has no value in what is happening now. I will give
you fresh manna for this time. You have crossed over to the other side of the valley and you are
moving into the high places there. The ground has been prepared for the new outpouring of my Holy
Spirit. The changes are on the way for what is about to take place on the earth. Hear my voice and
listen for my instructions! Come into my presence and be filled afresh with the joy of my salvation. I Am
stirring up an excitement for what is coming. Some who have fallen away will be raised up and
returned to their rightful place in me. The light of the promised time is dawning on the horizon. Take
action on what I have shown you and do not delay. Things will be happening suddenly, so you must be
grounded in my peace, so you will not be overwhelmed. You have been appointed to deliver my
glorious news to those who have been sitting in darkness. Take hold of my hand for I will lead you into
a great open place, where my freedom reigns supreme. The cares and burdens will fall away, as you
come rejoicing in worship and thanksgiving!
Love,
JESUS
Revelation 1:4-6
My eagles have landed and the situation is under control. You will see the victory I have won and how I
Am putting everything together. It is all my doing and you will enter into it, as part of my Body. I Am
closing out the works of the enemy and advancing my Kingdom in every quarter. I Am fulfilling my
promises and making glad the hearts of my believers. I Am moving heaven and earth to complete the
plan of the Father. In everything, I Am working out his will for the best for my people. I Am gathering
into fellowship with me the lost and those who have wandered away from my truth. I Am turning things
around for all who come to me with hungry hearts. My love is overcoming the darkness and bringing
light to countless lives. Entrust everything to me for I will have my way in all of it! Some have stumbled
and fallen but I will lift them up. Others have forsaken me but I have not forsaken them and I Am
interceding on their behalf. The fire of my Spirit is warming the hearts that have grown cold. He is
searching out those who have been wounded and hurt. I will restore them all with the love of the Father.
When you humble yourself before him, I will raise you up into the highest places in my Kingdom. My
strategy has been set to gather in the great harvest. Your prayers and your obedience will bring in all
that have abandoned hope. I will touch them with my abundant mercy through you. Seek out my
presence in worship for there you will find the fullness of life. I Am showering down joy from heaven to
strengthen you for what lies ahead. It is the power and authority of my Name that will make you more
than conquerors. You will drive out the enemy and you will occupy his vacated territory. I Am expanding
your influence to the east, the west, the north and the south. You will stand as a beacon light drawing
all people to me. A door has opened and the multitudes are about to pour through it into my holy
sanctuary.
Love,
JESUS
Hosea 2:14-23
I Am breaking through the covering of the enemy and I Am penetrating to the very center of his
stronghold. I Am setting free the slaves and restoring them to their rightful place in me. I Am opening
doors of opportunity for all my people and I Am showing them a new way that will overcome all
opposition. I Am binding the hands of the accuser and silencing his lies. You are coming into your own
and you will find it confirmed at every level. My authority rests easy on your shoulders and my Word
flows freely from your lips. There is a fresh challenge waiting for you in the days ahead. It will stir up a
renewed enthusiasm for what I Am doing on the earth. The rule of my Kingdom is extending to more
and more, as the days grow short. My Spirit is already flowing in a greater dimension of power, which
will spread to all that are faithful to my call. Radical changes are coming to my church, which will
transform it for the last days. Be prepared to take effective action in what my Spirit reveals to you! It
will require a greater concentration of everyone's effort and commitment. There will be an increased
need for those who will pray fervently, under the guidance of my Holy Spirit. I will be revising the
understanding of many concerning my purposes. Keep your focus on the leading of my Spirit and do
not be distracted by what others are saying about me. There will be a great deliverance from the
forces of the enemy. I Am rearranging many of the positions that were set in place by human
reasoning. I Am turning things around for those who have taken up my cause for the glory of the
Father. You will find deeper joy in the activities of my Spirit, as you yield to him completely. Worship
will become a primary function of your life and servanthood will flow from it, as a natural result. My
hope will carry you through to the final outcome of my victory.
Love,
JESUS
Deuteronomy 7:9
I have loosed my terrible swift sword to cut the captives free. The hammer of my truth is breaking the
shackles of oppression. I Am turning everything around by the victory I have already won. What the
enemy meant for evil, I bring to a most favorable conclusion. I Am destroying the webs of intrigue that
have caught so many in the clutches of the enemy. I Am restoring a new freedom in all who believe in
me and the power of my Resurrection. You will throw off the doubts and questions, as you walk into the
fullness of my glorious presence. You will be caught up in the worship of the Father, as he surrounds
you with his heavenly host. My light will disperse the darkness and my Spirit will foil all the attacks of
the evil one. I have established you as part of a mighty force that will challenge the world of unbelief.
The sowing of my Word goes on and the harvester is not far behind. Everything will come together in
perfect timing for all to see. It will cause many to bow down in awesome wonder before me. I have
opened the windows of heaven to pour down the blessings I have held in store for you there. Every
purpose of the Father is being accomplished. There will be waves upon waves of my Holy Spirit
washing over my people, as they come together in my Name. When you seek my face in your private
moments in prayer and supplication, I Am there! The foundations of greed and avarice are being
shaken. What was hidden is being revealed, so that my hand can move upon it. Search me out where
I can be found in the present appearing of my Spirit. Let his gifts nourish and empower you for what is
coming. The tide has turned and the earth will see the results of it, as I establish my Kingdom among
you. Trust and obey what my Holy Spirit gives you today. What is about to happen will take your breath
away in the awareness of the implications.
Love,
JESUS

Hail Storms and Asteroids

Pam Rusher
Today is June the 24, 1998 and last night I had a dream that I believe is from the Lord.
In the dream I am outside watering the ground where my husband Mike has some cement stones that he is going to
build a storage shed on (in real life we have those stones and are planning to build a storage shed starting this week). I
was doing this to soften the ground so it would be easier for Mike to level them so the building would be level. I then
noticed a truck with a trailer on it backing into our drive. I ask Mike who is that? He said it was a friend of his that had
come to pick up one of Mikes horses. He was going to a Rodeo or somewhere like that. I told Mike why don't you go with
him and start on the building tomorrow and he said ok. I was at the front door of our doublewide mobile home telling him
bye when I noticed in the back front corner of our property there were some tall over grown weeds (I had never noticed
them before and in real life these weeds are not there) they were about 4 or 5 feet high. I told Mike to look at those
weeds and that he had better take care of that problem really soon. He said he would and then him and his friend left.
Really quickly after he left the wind started blowing really hard and all of a sudden it started hailing, the hail was dirty and
rectangle shaped about 12 inches in width and about 4 or 5 inches thick. Also there was a girl and a guy that I do not
know that came up to the house, the guy was trying to clean one of the girls contact lens and she was saying it was not
going to do any good, that she wasn't going to be able to see out of it. ( I think these people came up right before the
storm.
I looked up during the storm and one of the windows in our home blew away. I could see outside and there was 2 barns
flying in the air onto our property (10 acres). I wanted to pray for protection for me and my family and our possessions but
the storm came so fast and quick that it was impossible to pray quick enough. When the storm was past my daughter
and I looked out and my new car was destroyed ( it looked like it had been wrecked). We then got into the car to travel to
the next town to the State Farm insurance office to tell them about the damage.
When we got there the ladies were on the phone and there was already people there before us. We had been waiting for
our turn when one of the ladies that worked there said it was lunch time and they would have to close the office so they
could go to lunch. (In the mean time my husband Mike had come into the office where I was) I was standing there holding
back my tears, when a man that worked there saw me and I guess took pity on me and ask if he could help me. I started
telling him about all the damage and I told him that Mike had just told me a few days before that he had been doing some
work when all of a sudden the Lord spoke to him very loudly and clearly and said "GET READY JUDGEMENT IS
COMING". The State Farm insurance man said "Thank God your a Christian, I can talk plainly with you", He said that
God had told him that there was going to be primarily 3 cell areas that God was going to judge and that the Christian and
non Christian alike would be judged and according to the damage reports it looked like this had been true.
In the dream I also knew that later that afternoon there was going to be asteroids falling to the earth, they were supposed
to only be at the most 12 inches in size and so we were leaving the State Farm office to try to go home and brace for
this. On the way my daughter and I stopped at the mall and there were some gay people in there and we were trying to
warn them not to go outside because the asteroids were going to be falling. They said "well if we are going to die then we
are going to die partying" . It was no use trying to warn them so we left. When we got home we started looking at the
damage and saw that the whole back wall of the double wide had been blown off, the roof, boards and all had come off
also and the roof on the other part of the double wide was still there with just the shingles gone. I was then in the house
when I went over to the phone and just picked it up ( it didn't ring I think it was broken) My daughter in Az. was on it and I
started crying and telling her about the damage and that soon the asteroids were going to start falling. The dream then
ended.
The meaning of the dream. I believe this to be the meaning The weeds represented sin in me and my family that we
hadn't noticed before. The insurance man had said God told him that Christians and non Christians alike was going to be
judged. ( I believe God is trying to warn my family and other Christians to search their hearts and repent of all sin.) To
make sure their hearts are pure before God. So that when judgement comes we won't have to go through the judgement.
I also noticed that after the storm the weeds were gone. So please as Gods children lets get all sin out of our lives so we
will be protected during the storms of judgement. Also remember when the storm came it was too late to pray then, the
storm came too fast to be able to pray.

Spiritual Victory in Haiti

Joel Jeune
Introductory comments by Richard Riss
In my opinion, this is of major significance:
There has been a major spiritual victory in Haiti, through the unusual series of events described below. The following
report is from Joel Jeune of Haiti, a close associate of Gerald Derstine in Bradenton, Florida (I have appended to this
message a page from Gerald Derstine's web-site, at the end of which Joel Jeune is listed as one of his six overseas
representatives).
Ray Curle of Bill Subritzky's organization in New Zealand was kind enough to forward this message to me. He has
forwarded it from Gerry A. Seale, who is the General Secretary of the Evangelical Association of the Caribbean, He is
also Regional Coordinator of the AD 2000 & Beyond Movement and Caribbean Coordinator of March for Jesus. Mr. Seale
recently obtained a written report of the details of these unusual developments, provided below.

Originally from: "SEALE, MR. GERRY A." <gaseale@caribsurf.com>
While attending the Promise Keepers historic rally in Washington D.C. in early October, I shared a room with Bishop
Joel Jeune. He shared with me then the details of an event held in Haiti in August 1997. I found his report exciting.
Through the good offices of missionary David Schmidt in Haiti I have been able to obtain a written copy of Joel's report
and I reproduce this below in Joel's own words.
---------------------------------------------------------
"VERY EXCITING REPORT
"I am so glad to report the glorious victory the Lord gave us over the devil on August 14, 1997, how satan's kingdom has
been demolished and Haiti taken back for God. The whole country is shaken, the government and US Embassy shocked
but forced to officially accept, recognise, and declare our victory over the devil's kingdom.
"BRIEF HISTORY
"The slaves brought from Africa went through many, many years of so much cruel treatment and atrocious sufferings from
the slave masters in complicity with the Catholic Church who blessed the slave market and thought that black was the
colour of the devil, therefore black slaves didn't have a soul. That terrible situation caused the slaves to turn away from
our loving God in heaven to their tribal gods of Africa for help. On August 14, 1791 a leader named Boukman called for a
secret meeting with many other slaves in a forest called Bois-Caiman near Cap-Haitian where they had a satanic
ceremony, killed a pig, and drank the blood, swearing and dedicating Haiti to serve the devil. All Haitian historians believe
and teach that Haiti's independence in 1804 came from that satanic ceremony.
"For 206 years Bois-Caiman has been a very sacred high place for the devil where no one could ever set foot, except the
witch doctors when having voodoo services. Every year for 206 years on August 14 all the witch doctors would meet there
to offer sacrifices to the devil. In 1991 the government renewed that contract with the devil. As we can all see the Pearl of
the Antilles had become a land of great suffering, misery, political tensions, and instability. But God heard the prayers of
His children.
"Vision:Haiti - MOBILISATION FOR BATTLE
"The Lord spoke clearly to me as well as many other Haitian leaders such as Paul and Gerald Clerie of Vision:Haiti, and
others for mobilisation to take back the land for God. Haitian Christian leaders all over Haiti as well as in Florida, New
York, Canada, France, and in all big Haitian communities around the world, and Christians of other nationalities, were
mobilised to get together wherever they were on August 14, 1997 to fast and intensely pray to claim Haiti back for God
while the holy invasion took place on the devil's territory in Bois-Caiman. So in all the cities, villages, mountains of Haiti,
and in the Haitian diaspora a day of fasting, prayer, victory marches in the streets, and a big crusade went on all day
from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. while the holy invasion was taking place on that devil-ground in Haiti.
"THE HOLY INVASION OF BOIS-CAIMAN - WITCH DOCTORS IN HIDING
"My Church group and I started in front of the Presidential Palace, rebuked all the evil spirits around there and then
traveled six hours to the very area and spot where the satanic ceremony was held by Boukman 206 years ago.
"Many weeks before we went there I wrote to the government and to all the media. The invasion was well advertised. We
were told that the witch doctors were going to be there as usual every year, but when we arrived they all went into hiding.
They could not come face-to-face with the Christians.
"As we approached that satanic field where no Christian has ever before been, it was not easy for us. The power of
witchcraft was so strong and the air so heavy. As we pushed our way towards that big tree where the pig had been slain,
we really had to be violent in the Spirit, praying, rebuking, fighting, and casting out the devil and all his spirits. The battle
raged until we broke into a Jericho March seven times around that big witchcraft tree . . . and . . . at the seventh time we
all felt that the heavy power of the devil had been lifted and God gave many people a vision of the devil flying and leaving
that place. Joyful noises and victory shouts went up to God as we rejoiced over God's victory.
"We took communion together and applied the blood of Jesus to the land under that same tree where the blood of the pig
had been shed. We canceled the satanic contract and broke the curse. We consecrated the place to Jesus Christ as a
prayer centre, claimed Haiti back to God forever, and claimed August 14 as a National Day of Prayer. After the day of
fasting, prayer, marching, and the big crusade with many thousands attending and many decisions for Christ (including
some of the witch doctors) we went back to Port-au-Prince rejoicing.
"REACTION FROM THE WITCH DOCTORS AND GOVERNMENT
"Three days after our holy invasion, the witch doctors gathered in that same place to call on the spirits and to offer
sacrifices.
"After a couple of days hard work trying to conjure up the spirits, none came up because we had ordered all demons and
spirits by name never to come back to that place being consecrated to Christ.
"So those witch doctors went to complain to the government and news media. The government protested and publicly
and intensely condemned our action through the media and news releases as a terrible violation of a 'sacred Voodoo
High Place' where no Christian had been in 206 years. The US Ambassador expressed shock and publicly stated his
disapproval.
"GOD CHANGED THINGS IN OUR FAVOUR
"God gave Pastor Eddy and myself His power to stand strong before the government to defend our rights as Christians to
set the country free from evil spirits. The media really got into it and made it big. They called on me day and night for
interviews, short and long ones (10 minutes up to two hours). By the grace of God and His mighty power, the government
changed its position towards us by officially accepting, recognising, and declaring our legitimate legal right as Haitians to
hold meetings in Bois-Caiman and all other historical sites in Haiti.
"In order to show their approval the government now signs and gives authorisation to all church groups that want to hold
services in Bois-Caiman. It has already become a popular place. Christian groups from all over the country are going
there. The Christians in the area come daily for prayer and fasting. All Haitians now know that Haiti is no longer under
any contract with satan. The contract is canceled, the curse is broken. Praise God for His great victory!
"The other churches that were against us for fear of persecution are now coming to join our efforts for God. Many
missionaries have started helping too. Praise God!
"A BREAK THROUGH! HAITI HAS REACHED A HISTORICAL TURNING POINT
"Already people visiting Haiti testify to a fresh atmosphere in the country. The heaviness has been lifted up. God is going
to completely change this country spiritually, economically, and socially. We now call it Haiti G. C. (God's Country)! Be
encouraged with us and keep praying.
"BOIS-CAIMAN - NEW CHALLENGE - NEW VISION
"For 206 years voodoo possessed this area and did nothing for the people there. Now we must show God's love in action.
This is the second step of Vision: Haiti - build a work there such as a church, school, hospital, and trade school to help
the community. They need to see the difference Jesus makes. They need to know the difference between God's people
and the servants of the devil. We need a lot of faith, prayer, and help.
"FIVE MORE MAJOR HISTORICAL HIGH PLACES TO DEMOLISH
"Haiti is now God's country. We do not want any site in any corner of the country reserved for the devil, ALL will be taken
for God:
'The earth (Haiti) is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it upon
the seas, and established it upon the floods.' Psalm 24:1-2.
"THE HAITI/LOUISIANA CONNECTION
"History says that one of the female witchcraft doctors that participated in that satanic dedication ceremony, moved to
Louisiana to start voodooism there. If you know of any church or pastor in Louisiana, please let me have that contact as
soon as you can.
"SO THE WHOLE WORLD CAN KNOW

WHAT IS GOSPEL CRUSADE MINISTERIAL FELLOWSHIP?
Gospel Crusade Ministerial Fellowship is a non-denominational connectional organization and support group for
ministers, churches and ministries. This international fellowship has over 900 ministers, 67 affiliated churches and
ministries in the United States and abroad. Christian Retreat Center has recently constructed the International Training
Center to equip and mobilize anointed ministers of the Gospel.
The purpose of GCMF is to facilitate and enable believers to develop their God-given vision for ministry and become
successful in the fulfillment of their vision and calling.
GCMF has a Presbytery form of government with a group of presbyters who form the board of directors and are the
corporate officers. There are 23 geographic districts, each with a leader called a District Coordinator. The District
Coordinators are the Elders of the Fellowship and meet twice a year as an advisory council. They are committed to
facilitate, assist, counsel, support and help augment the ministry thrust of every member of Gospel Crusade Ministerial
Fellowship.
GCMF issues 3 types of ministerial credentials. All applicants are carefully screened. Once they are interviewed by their
District Coordinator, their personal references are contacted in writing and necessary investigative phone calls are made.
The type of credentials are then decided upon. This establishes an accountability relationship between the members and
the Fellowship. The leadership is committed to help, teach, counsel, and provide any services available to assist every
member to be successful in his or her calling in the ministry.
Each member is expected to attend the conferences and fellowship activities in his or her district, to attend the annual
convocation at Christian Retreat, Florida, to support GCMF with monthly contributions amounting to 1% of their personal
income which is considered dues, and submit an annual report of their ministry when they file their annual credential
renewal forms.

Happy New Revival Year

Robin J. Johnson
31 December 1997.
Hi Revival hungry friends around the world:
On this last day of 1997 I awoke with a renewed sense of, any moment now! Yes, as we stand at the threshold of
another new year, I believe for many of us, we are about to move into a greater dimension of His power, love and glory.
More than anything we have experienced or dreamed possible.
As I hunger and thirst for more of Him, it is almost with an ache within that I cry, come Holy Spirit, more Holy Spirit. Do
whatever you have to do with me, to make me ready for your revival fire to fall and be released throughout our land.
It has been nine months since I've returned to the land of my birth and it certainly has been like nine months of
pregnancy, with many birth pangs. As we relocate next week to our new situation, in Te Awamutu, it is with both an
anxiousness and an excitement, contemplating the grace of God and waiting to see His hand of mercy move powerfully
there and regions beyond wherever the Lord sends us throughout 1998.
I know we serve a great God, a God of the impossible, One who does far more than I can ask or imagine, at the same
time I am very conscious of my own inadequacy and weakness to help carry, in some way, and to work along side other
godly leaders to see revival sweep our land.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!
I pray also for you dear friends that you find in God, in 1998, all that you desire and much, much more. Come Holy Spirit!!
As we enter further into the FAVOURABLE YEAR OF THE LORD let us not hold back, but with a determination, a
steadfast zeal, let's go for it! Leave what's behind, behind, and take hold of the new year and the promises of God with
both hands, seize the moment and see the release come and increase.
When we think of the, Favourable Year, we often consider those in need, and this is right and the initial emphasis without
a doubt. However I would like to suggest another aspect of this, which is, the release of ministries and in particular the
release of the Body into powerful and effective evangelism. This in turn, of course, brings deliverance to those in need to a
greater capacity. Ministries that release ministries, are essential to the on going and increasing flow of the river of God.
There are going to be new and more opportunities open up throughout this next year for many who to date have been
sitting and waiting. The time for waiting is over. It is time for the release of the labourers into His harvest.
Pastors; release the Body!!!
Body be prepared to be released. And if you are in a situation that won't release you? Seek the Lord, He may well want
you somewhere where you can be released.
Acts chapter two is exciting, but the Holy Spirit is writing a new chapter for us today. He is following His own lead, that
the glory of the latter house will be greater than the glory of the former. Hallelujah! Come Holy Spirit!!!!!
Yours for revival & in the river of His love,
ROBIN.

Hardheartedness Will Kill You

By Jan Truby
Colorado Springs, CO USA
February 26, 1998
This morning the Lord talked to me in the wee hours of the morning about hardheartedness and judgement in the land
now. I have been having a growing urgency about judgement and how I need to be close to the Lord so I can hear His
voice every moment. This is what He said to me about that.
Jesus said to soak my heart in the water of His Word to soften it, and do it now. All the years of allowing other things
before my eyes, like television programs full of sin, and tolerating a little bit here and a little bit there, have gradually
hardened my heart. Now, sin hardly bothers me like it used to. When I hear someone speak a curse word, it rolls off my
back like water on a duck's back.
It is when I soak up the Word and let it soften my heart, that it will become tender and sensitive and I will once again
hear and be able to immediately respond to His voice. Jesus said that I must let my heart become as soft and tender as
a child's so that I will immediately recognize sin and deception, and I will know where to follow His footsteps. Jesus said
that He will never lead my footsteps into compromise, because it is that compromise that hardens the heart.
The Lord said to me that the Hand of Judgement has touched the land, and now there is no room to tolerate even the
least error, because that can mean the difference between life and immediate death. He compared my footsteps following
His like a field that the enemy has strewn with land mines, and the only safe place to put my foot is squarely inside of
His footsteps because He is already there and knows the Way.
Jesus said to not wait any longer to spend time in His Word, but to turn off the television. Rid my home of anything that
would grieve the Spirit. He said that the way to know if something would grieve Him, if I wasn't sure, is to imagine Him
standing beside me observing what I have compromised in my life to keep.
He said that if I am embarrassed in His Presence as we examine the television programs, videos, books, music, and
objects that I have tolerated to be around me, that is a clear direction to rid myself of them. What I continue to
compromise to keep will hinder the work of the Holy Spirit in my life. Jesus said to make a deliberate action ridding
myself of any compromise, and that action, coupled with spending time in the Word of God, will peel away the layers of
sin that have hardened and bound my heart from being sensitive to Him.
There is no room for compromise any longer like has been tolerated in years past. The times are so perilous right now,
that I should evaluate any object or activity that is in my life, no matter how innocuous it might seem to me, and ask
myself if I am willing to die for it. He reminded of what the Word says about 'dying to self so that I can live for Jesus'. To
die to each temptation to compromise is dying to the flesh of self and choosing Life.
Jesus said that compromise is double-mindedness, not indecision; it is lack of agreement. He asked me if two can walk
together except they be agreed. He took me to the first chapter of James, which says, "A double minded man is
unstable in all his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of
life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted (to compromise/sin), I am
tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man. but every man is tempted when he is
drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished,
bringeth forth death. But be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
Jesus said to me, "Behold, I set before you Life and Death. Choose Life that ye may live.

Hard Headed Woman

Sari Alt
Dear Bill,
I have been following your web site for a while, and after what happened this morning I though maybe I should submit
something to you..(?) (This is all very new to me, He speaks to me now in all kinds of ways, I am blown away!)
This morning as I was dancing to a worship tape completely in love with the Lord, He told me to reach down and look for
a certain Elvis tape, that I had not listened trough even once. I put it to my walkman, and the Real King started speaking
through Elvis by several songs. It was awesome, like He sent a love letter to me and told me that He is so infinite, that
He uses innumerable ways to affirm His love for us. One song, in particular, hit me as being about His Bride, the church
and the King. I write down the lyrics below as best as I can, some words that I place in brackets, I am not sure about,
since English is not my first language, and Elvis screams out those words so fast.
The tape is called "The Number One Hits" from Elvis Presley Commemorative issue..
HARD HEADED WOMAN
Well, a hard headed woman

'n a soft hearted man,
bin the cause of trouble
EVER SINCE TIME BEGAN,
oh yeah, EVER SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN,

a hard headed woman is
a thorn in the side of man..
Adam told Eve

...(?)...
and don't you let me get you messin'
around that apple tree,

Sampson told Delilah,

LOUD and CLEAR,
(keep your hands of my hair
(?))-

(and then, pay attention to this verse...)
I HEARD ABOUT A KING

WHO WAS DOING SWELL,
UNTIL HE STARTED MESSIN' AROUND
THAT EVIL JEZEBEL!!!!!

WELL, I've gotta WOMAN,

a HEAD LIKE A ROCK,
is she ever gonna.
cry out for the flock (I think He made me to hear this this way..))!!!

a thorn in the side of man.. (end)
It was just so awesome, personally, I have been crying out for the longest to really hear Him, and something happened
recently at TACF Prophetic Conference, He bust some channels open, and I was overwhelmed with the intensity of His
love!
Greetings from the TRUE KING (through "king" Elvis) -well, why not ;-) !!!

The Hard Yards

Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies between August and November, 1998. As with all prophetic words,
these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where Bible passages are referred to, the
interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the interpretation of the passage, but as God speaking to his
people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
The Lord is moving very quickly at the moment, and in some places, about to fulfil Malachi 3:1: "See, I
will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are
seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says
the LORD Almighty.
This verse refers to the Lord's desire for a resting place of His own, expressed in Isaiah 66:1: This is
what the LORD says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you
will build for me? Where will my resting place be? The Lord is searching for a place to rest, and a
people who will build Him a house through Worship. When this happens, He will move Suddenly, and
dwell amongst the people of that place. We will see entire cities that are in service to the Lord, and
they will be places of Peace and Joy amidst the turmoil in the world. How beautiful are your tents, O
Jacob, your dwelling places, O Israel! (Num. 24:5). God is looking for a people who will be the "Sons
of God" of Romans 8, also known as the "Generation of the Righteous" (Ps 14:4 KJ), amongst whom
He will dwell, and who will overcome the enemy "by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their
testimony" (Rev 12:11).
The messengers who prepare the way are the mature Prophets, who minister in the Spirit and Power
of Elijah, as a fulfilment of Mal 4:6: He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the
hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse." Turning the
hearts of the Fathers and the Children is part of "Building the House" of the Lord, and is necessary
before He will come and dwell. The Prophets will also bring teachings, understanding and direction for
the Body, so that they will not "be destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hos 4:6). The "messenger of the
covenant, whom you desire", is the manifest presence of the Lord, which will dwell amongst the
People, and "draw all men unto himself" (John 12:32).
To remain in this move, it is imperative that we begin to do the things that will cause the Lord to desire
to stay, and not lift His presence from us, as He did in the past. One of these is to learn to do the
"Hard Yards". The Lord gave me to understand that it was vitally important for the Church to learn to
this, as we were going to need these disciplines to survive the testing times that are coming very
soon.
The Hard Yards
In Rugby Union we have a well-known saying: "Doing the Hard Yards ". This refers to the times a
player has to do the mundane task of pick up the ball, drive the opposition back one or two metres, go
to ground and place the ball for the next teammate to repeat the process. It is hard work - energy
sapping, as you generally run low, drive into the opposition with straight back and head up, using
small steps to push them backwards, fighting to stay on your feet pushing until help arrives, when its
safe to drop and place the ball for another pick-up. Then get up and do it again. It is the basics of the
game, used to set up good field position and wear down the defence, and is easily distinguished from
the Glory moments of running free with the ball, or scoring tries. Surprisingly, the forwards (whose job
this is in the game) relish in it, and are proud of their ability to work hard, and scorning those who
avoid it, and take easier options which are not as effective in gaining ground.
In August this year, the Lord began reminding me of this phrase at odd times, for no apparent reason.
then He showed me a passage in Matthew 7, particularly verse 13:"Enter through the narrow gate,
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But
small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.", and impressed me
that these verses referred to "doing the Hard Yards", and that it was important for the church to begin
to apply them. It is Hard to enter through the narrow gate, but it is the only way to Life.
By Their Fruit
The following verses in Matthew 7 explain what is meant by the narrow gate (the Hard Yards). This is
Jesus' famous discourse in the Sermon on the Mount about recognising false prophets. Twice we are
told: "by their Fruit you will recognise them", and the Lord said this is what He meant by the "Hard
Yards" - judging by fruit, not what we see. This is not easy, as judging by Fruit takes time, and we are
very prone to snap judgments, and impatient with waiting for answers. The church at this time is not
very spiritually discerning - we are, after all, Laodiceans, who "do not realise that (we) are wretched,
pitiful, poor blind and naked" (Rev 3:17).
We place our trust in men with degrees, or large Churches, or visible ministries, and especially those
who tell us the "nice" Gospel. We often have difficulty with anything that challenges our Comfort Zone -
witness the furore over whether the Toronto Blessing, or the Pensacola Revival were of God. We are
apt to label as a False Prophet those who give unpleasant Words, teach something we consider
"unBiblical" or who act in what we label an "unchristian" manner (we call it "unloving"), or who fail to
exhibit the Fruits of the Spirit, as we choose to define them. In what way are we different from the
Jews, particularly the Pharisees, who knew their Bibles much more thoroughly than most of us? They
rejected the true Prophets for the same reasons we use.
When Samuel was sent to anoint David as King, the Lord rejected the first seven brothers, and taught
Samuel a valuable lesson: But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his
height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at
the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Sam 16:7).
Too many people in the Church never take the time to look past the surface problems they see in
maturing saints, to look for the heart that is the Lord's focus. None of us are finished yet, but we are
too ready to write off (judge) valuable ministries, and important Words they bring, for surface
trivialities, which our traditions and doctrines have blown out of proportion. We have forgotten the
preceding passages of Matthew 7, which gives clear warning against this: Do not judge, or you too
will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you
use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and
pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the
speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take
the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's
eye. (Matt. 7:1-5).
This is followed by a warning to the maturing Prophets: Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw
your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to
pieces (Matt. 7:6).
I believe this is an exhortation to wait until the Lord has released us to minister - too many of us are
keen to rush out and share what we have seen, rather than have the patience to sit quietly until the
Lord has granted us favour. Certainly the Church has excelled in "trampling" and "tearing to pieces"
any Minister or Prophet who dared to challenge their "Sacred Cow" doctrines. It is too easy (and
dangerously risky) to dismiss such challenges out of hand, and has been too difficult (due to our lack
of understanding and insecurity) to ask the hard question: To What Extent is This God Speaking To
Us? In my field of training - Science, it is glaringly apparent that too many scientists blithely accept the
statements of others without ever testing the claims for validity. The World has accepted the claims of
Scientists in much the same way that the church has accepted the doctrines and traditions of the past
- it is far easier to accept what sounds like truth than to examine it and look for error.
Verses 7-12 of Matthew 13 are an appeal to trust the Father's Love.
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to
you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will
be opened. "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a
fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So
in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and
the Prophets.
This encourages us to have Faith in the work of the Father in us, as well as His gracious and loving
provision for our lives. In the context of the "Hard Yards", it encourages us to persist in asking the Lord
to give us the character traits and spiritual maturity that we lack.
What Fruit do we Look For?
The easy answer is Gal. 5:22, 23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. This
describes the personal character traits that the Holy Spirit builds into a believer, and there is no Law
against them, so there is no grounds for the accusation attacks of the enemy. The trouble in this
context is that you cannot use these to judge true or false prophecy, as there is no way to tell if the
absence of these is immaturity or indicative of a lack of repentance. Also, the true gifts function even
in fallen vessels (Rom. 11:29: for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable) as we have seen in recent
years, when some of the most powerful men in the Spirit fell publicly and painfully.
This is not to say that Holiness is not important, and the Lord will certainly judge those who continue in
rebellion, but the issue is that we cannot always tell by looking for the Fruits of the Spirit whether a
particular Prophetic word is from God.
Fruit is similarly not limited to the Salvation of the Lost, though this would certainly accompany the
operation of true Prophetic Ministry. But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes
in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by
all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming,
"God is really among you!" (1Cor. 14:25). Also; "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy"
(Rev. 19:10), and the true testimony of Jesus will always "draw .... men unto himself".
Paul gave us a hint about which fruits to look for in Rom. 14:17: For the kingdom of God is not a
matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. I believe that
the fruit to look for is whether the ministry of the person leads people towards or away from
"righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit". This can only be seen over time, and is a judgement
of the person, not a particular Word.
This latter point is very important because God can still speak through False Prophets (eg. Balaam:
Num 22), donkeys, and sinners. We need to learn to recognise the Voice of the Lord by the Holy Spirit
regardless of the vessel. Also, the reverse is true - a true Prophet can "miss it", though I believe that
as we grow in maturity this will decrease in frequency. A New Testament Prophet operates under
different conditions from those in the Old Covenant. Due to our relationship with the Lord through the
Holy Spirit, we operate by Faith, so we have to bear much more responsibility for interpreting and
applying the Revelation correctly - whereas OT Prophets simply spoke the words they were given.
This encourages us to keep walking closely with the Lord, and to grow in Faith (2Cor. 5:7 We live by
faith, not by sight ).
The Role of the Prophet
Many people argue that the Prophetic Ministry should not have any directional role in the Church, and
quote: 1Cor. 14:3 But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening,
encouragement and comfort.. This verse is not a limitation of the role of the Prophet, but an
explanation of the main focus of the gift in a particular situation - most of 1 Cor 12-14 is speaking of
the use of the gifts in a public context. It is also speaking of the Gift of Prophesy, which any believer
can move in, as opposed to the Office of Prophet, which is a Calling from the Lord himself. 1Cor.
14:31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
The "strengthening, encouragement and comfort" is a useful guideline for all Prophets, but is not a
limitation. The role of the Office Prophet is to listen to the Lord, and bring the Word of the Lord to the
Church. Directional words should always be given to leaders privately, and it is then the leaders'
responsibility to act or not (and their burden if they're wrong). The Office of Prophet has only changed
from OT times in terms of relationship and responsibility - they will still act in the same ways as in the
OT, except for writing Scripture. All interpretation and application of revelation must be checked
against the Word, as: "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Rev. 19:10), but we need to
be cautious, as we do not understand much of what is in the Word (Rev 3:17), and part of the
Prophetic role is to bring new understanding of the Old Truth. Once again, this is part of "doing the
Hard Yards".
The Wise and Foolish Builders
Keep in mind the words of Jesus:
Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and
anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous
man's reward (Matt. 10:41).
We have denied ourselves the blessing of the Prophet's Reward, as we were too quick to dismiss
those we didn't like as False Prophets. Many Denominations refuse to accept that true Prophetic
ministry still exists - it is, after all far more comfortable, and in keeping with many Christians' church
experience, to deny the gifts are for today. It just doesn't fit the abundant evidence, which means that
you either change your Theory (to use Scientific terms), or refuse to accept the facts and write off
anything you aren't comfortable with as "demonic".
We are also far too ready to label immaturity and error as "False", rather than "do the Hard Yards"
and wait and see. Although character and gifting are both important, they develop separately, and the
Lord deals with all believers as individuals. We cannot look for a particular trait as evidence of "truth"
or "falsehood" in that person's ministry, as we often have no idea what these traits look like in the
mature believer. Remember, we still are a long way from the standards maintained by the early
Church, yet the writer to Hebrews told them: We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain
because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need
someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid
food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about
righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil. Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on
to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith
in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal
judgment. And God permitting, we will do so (Hebr. 5:11- 6:3). Therefore, there were things that the
Lord had revealed to the Apostles and Leaders in the early church that were not included in the Bible,
due to the immaturity of the believers. We must, therefore, put aside our traditional interpretations of
maturity, and begin to seek the Lord for clear understanding of what this means (ie. the character of
Jesus) in practice.
Jesus finished the Sermon on the mount with the well-known story of the Wise and Foolish Builders:
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man
who built his house on the rock" (Matt. 7:24). Too often we read this as speaking about Salvation, but
the passage is referring to the Words of Life, or Keys of the Kingdom the Lord had been explaining.
These teachings are to assist the believer in Building the House for the Lord, and the Lord is calling
us at this time to forsake our own ways, and begin to be "led by the Spirit of God" (Rom 8:14),
because the Lord wants us to be, in truth "the Sons of God" (Rom 8:14). we need to begin to "do the
Hard Yards"!

A Hatchet Job
Bryan Hupperts
I had a kind of dream about a man I once met that I felt was a very definite word of encouragement for him. After praying
this over, I feel this is also for the body of Christ in general.
In my dream, I saw this person as an old cigar store wooden Indian. He was surrounded by little men all dressed in nice
suits but carrying hatchets. They looked very civilized but I could sense that their nature was truly savage in the basest
sense of the term.
On cue, they began to attack swinging their hatchets with great ferocity. They hacked and hacked at this wooden man.
Chunks and chips of wood seemed to fly everywhere. I thought to myself: Is he going to survive this?
When the dust settled, I expected to see a mound of scrap wood and sawdust. Instead, the wooden statue had been
transformed by all of those savage hatchet whacks…into the image of Jesus!
My understanding is that the "hatchet job" these people intended for evil, God intended for good. The more the blows fell,
the more they transformed this person into the image of Christ. God was allowing this attack to touch this man with the
intent to cut away all that was not Christ-like in his nature. What remained was a man transformed.
When the attacks come, stand on Romans 8: 28. "We know that all things work together for the good of them that love
God." Sometimes it is our very love of God that singles us out for attack but Praise God! In Him we are more than
overcomers. Remember His servant Job. "The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning." Job 42: 12.
Allow the blows of adversity to do their work. If you're solidly built on the Rock, when the rains and winds pass, you'll still
be there burning brightly for the glory of God.
Be blessed,

Some Insights on the "Cloud of Haze".

Heriberto González
During the past weeks the Lord has been giving me some spiritual insights in relation with the "huge cloud of haze" that
covers most of my country (Mexico) and that by now is moving to the north (USA).
RECENT NEWS Yesterday Local news in my home town (Monterrey) said that this particular "Cloud" kept President
Clinton attention while he was in Houston, Texas. His assistants told him that this "Cloud" is coming from Mexico and
that it is mainly produced by forest "Fire". He forgot about his original message and impacted by this "phenomenon" he
started talking about the help that his government has given to my country to "Stop the Fire".
I do believe with all my heart that nobody will "Stop the Fire" that just started a few weeks ago in Mexico and that is
moving up to USA. Of course, I am not talking of this physical event but rather in its spiritual sense. God is sending it as
a prophetic sign of what is about to come,.. yes, a "REVIVAL" like never seen before to both countries.
THE FIRST SIGN IN THE HEAVENS A few months ago, just 40 days before Passover and one day before the solar
eclipse, an amazing and unusual sign in the heavens was manifested in Monterrey, the largest city in the North of
Mexico where I live. The strange phenomenon never seen before started at 15:00 P.M. and finished 4 hours later. The sky
over the city turned completely RED. It was a RED cloud covering the all atmosphere. There was no wind blowing and the
environment was so quiet. The lights of the automobiles on the streets were so bright like alogene bulbs. People in my
work place were disappointed and anxious.
Government authority and the scientists did not offer a convincing explanation to this sign in the heavens. The news and
the local newspaper said that the unusual event was caused by a cold front + el niño effect + dry ground + the sun going
through the clouds horizontally. ????????
In that day a religious celebration was taking place in Mexico because the "cuaresma" time was just starting. Most of
the people went to catholic churches to receive ashes in their forehead as a symbol of "repentance".
The Lord spoke to me that a truly "REPENTANCE" was about to come to the city using his servants on this spiritual
move of God and that the RED cloud spoke of the precious "Blood of Jesus" covering the city in the days to come.
Many prophets from God had come to Monterrey (it means King's mountain) during the past 5 years bringing with them a
very consistent message: Our city and our nation is going to be blessed in a powerful way so that thousands of new
believers will go to the nations to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Also many other prophets have told us that a big "REVIVAL" is going to start in the North region of Mexico and that it is
going to move on to USA in a powerful way. …
REVIVAL AND FIRE Something amazing has been happening during the past 7 weeks in Monterrey. When the "Forest
fire" started in a mountain close to the city and in many other places in Mexico, we started hearing reports of God
moving in a powerful way in many churches of several Christian denominations. In my own church, week after week the
power of our God and his manifestation is increasing like never before. It is like the Toronto blessing in our own house,
and we all know here that more from God is coming.
God told me that the "Fire in Forest" means spiritual war in "High places" against forces of darkness that during
centuries have had control over the city. He is moving us to increase our praying time and told us that a big blessing is in
its way.
In Christ our Lord

The Hebraic Roots Of Replacement Theology

Pastor Reuven Doron
This article is as appeared in: Embrace Israel, Prayer Focus,

1 August 1998
In his great discourse of the historical administration of the Gospel, Paul clearly defines Israel's election, rejection, and
restoration in chapters 9 through 11 of Romans. He concludes that sweeping prophetic vision in directing the attention of
his readers to the grand-finale of our dispensation: the restoration of the nation of Israel and the redemption of this world
at the return of the Lord. He emphatically affirms that this coming national resurrection is directly related to God's
covenant with them (11:27), God's love toward them (11:28), and God's appointed gifts and calling to them as an ethnic
and distinct people group.
Regarding the Jewish nation, Paul wrote to the Gentile church that "From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies
for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers; for the gifts and the
calling of God are irrevocable. For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because
of their disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, in order that because of the mercy shown to you they
also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience that He might show mercy to all." Romans
11:28-32.
It seems quite clear then, from Romans 11 and other portions of Scripture, that we are given ample reason to trust that a
future national restoration of Israel in her calling and gifting is to be anticipated. In addition, the apostle makes sure that
we are also given the Church's proper attitude toward the Jew until that time comes. Mercy is the only appropriate
disposition of true Christians.
Paul, in fact, strengthened this point later in the same letter, saying "but now, I am going to Jerusalem serving the saints.
For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. Yes,
they were pleased to do so, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they
are indebted to minister to them also in material things." Rom 15:25-27.
This generous gesture, we know from history, was not a one-time sentimental offering to support the believing Jews living
in Judea, but rather an established and ongoing apostolic tradition. This debt of love and of gratitude toward the Hebrew
disciples in Judea, which was also a prophetic act pointing toward their promised national restoration, was discontinued
by the second Bishop in Rome in the second century due to the power struggle between Rome and Jerusalem. The
blood relatives of the Lord Jesus still living and ministering in Judea and the Galilee were a threat to the Gentile Church
hierarchy forming in Rome, and they had to be cut off.
And so, from the very first moves of God among the Gentile nations of the Mediterranean basin in the first and second
centuries, that apostolic charge to show mercy to the Jew was challenged, usurped, and eventually totally ignored. The
historical Church not only generally failed to show mercy to the scattered Jews whom by now were driven out of their land
for the second time, but in time became Israel's main persecutor.
Some of those persecutors, no doubt, were not truly born again Christians and could be dismissed as being Christian by
name only. Many others, however, were not only true believers, but often leaders and men of godly character and
influence who, never the less, stumbled over the Jewish issue and resisted the word of God itself.
John Chrysotom, a prominent early Church father wrote concerning the Jews: "You did slay Christ. You did lift violent
hands against the Master. You did spill His precious blood. This is why you have no chance of atonement, excuse, or
defense."
Martin Luther, that greatly esteemed reformer who served God faithfully in his generation, liberating many from
oppression and dead religiosity, never the less wrote these words concerning the Jews: "...we do not know to this day
which devil has brought them here... like a plague, pestilence, pure misfortune in our country...They are just devils and
nothing more."
Israel's stumbling and rejection were totally misunderstood and misinterpreted by most Christian leaders. The sight of the
scattered and homeless Jew became an enigma and a sure sign of divine judgment, and what some recognized as a
miracle of preservation, others interpreted as the mark of Cain, a perpetual curse, a warning to God's enemies.
Unfortunately, Paul's clear admonition in Romans 11:11 was silenced and ignored: "I say then, they did not stumble so
as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them
jealous."
And so the Church, as a whole, took upon itself Israel's national role as a priestly nation, called itself the "new Israel" or
"true Israel" (terms not found in Scripture), and assumed Israel's millennial blessings and promises. Israel, they said, as
a nation, has failed for the last time and is finally displaced by God's new and improved agency, the Church.
Some, more generous, did agree that there should come a great revival among the Jews at the end of the age when they
will embrace the gospel and come en-mass into the Church. Yet even those still held to the theology that God is finished
with the nation of Israel as a nation: the Church has finally and permanently replaced her, and there is never to be a
Jewish nation in the ancient homeland promised to the fathers by covenant.
And indeed, most main line denominations either held to various shades of this theology, or kept silent on the topic. That
is, until 1948 of course, when God made His own point and brought the Fig tree back to life in its own ancient land. Israel
has become not only the clearest, loudest, and boldest proof that there is a sovereign God and that His word is true and
authoritative, but is also becoming the stigma by which true Christians will be criticized, judged, and even condemned in
the coming days.
Yet, that replacement theology was not born in the minds of deceived Christians during this dispensation of grace, but in
fact has its roots much earlier. The truth of the matter is that Israel herself often times wanted to be replaced and looked
for a way out of her national election and ethnic separation unto God and His purposes. It is neither easy nor simple to
be selected by God for a divine purpose, chosen to be a peculiar people, different than all others, and set apart for His
use. In fact, the Scriptures offer an honest and revealing glimpse into Israel's struggle and clash with her national calling.
Consider this typical example:
"And it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judges over Israel...His sons, however,
did not walk in his ways, but turned aside after dishonest gain and took bribes and perverted justice. Then
all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; and they said to him, "Behold, you
have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint a king for us to judge us like all the
nations.
"...And the Lord said to Samuel, 'Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for
they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them. Like all the deeds which
they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day... so they are doing to you
also. Now then, listen to their voice; however, you shall solemnly warn them and tell them of the procedure of
the king who will reign over them.
"So Samuel spoke all the words of the Lord to the people who had asked of him a king... Nevertheless, the
people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, 'No, but there shall be a king over us, that we
also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles." 1
Samuel 8.
Over and over again in the years to come, the Israelites displayed total lack of revelation or appreciation toward the divine
purpose of their national election. Rather, the Scripture often exposed an open resistance, strife, and antagonism toward
the prophetic charge their nation repeatedly faced as God sent His fiery messengers to awaken His people. These
unredeemed minds continuously resented the peculiarity and awkwardness associated with the supernatural national
call, and the compelling drive of their collective soul continuously demanded, "that we also may be like all the nations."
Ever since the Exodus out of Egypt, that dramatic and traumatic display of divine favor, compassion, and power on their
behalf, the Israelites struggled with their election. It was shortly after their deliverance out of Pharaoh's hand, while
camping in the oasis of Rephidim, that "the people thirsted there for water; and they grumbled against Moses and said,
'Why, now, have you brought us up from Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?'" Exodus 17:3.
Our forefathers truly did not know the reason for their existence. Their miraculous survival and freshly bought liberty
meant nothing to them as much as their national call was concerned. So short was their memory, so selective and
limited the recollection of their sufferings in Egypt, their cries to God, their supernatural deliverance, and the promise of a
safe and blessed land ahead, it is evident these Hebrew slaves did not know, nor trust, God!
Sadly, this carnal attitude continued to persist throughout the generations of Israel, culminating in the cry, "that we also
may be like all the nations." And apart from short seasons of open heavens, brought about by fiery prophets or righteous
kings, the nation walked in deadly oblivion to her call, purpose, and destiny, as if to say, "We would rather have others
replace us in our calling."
Not only in biblical times was this true, but this spirit is still alive today. Our modern day liberal and secular politicians
were ready to turn Israel into "just another nation" within this very generation. Shimon Peres, who preceded Benjamin
Netanyahu as Prime Minister, was longing for the day when Jews would marry Gentiles en-mass, and Israel would be
like any other nation, living in peace in the Middle East without insisting on its ethnic uniqueness, national heritage, or
biblical mandate.
This has always been the struggle. Will we fulfill our divine call and election and take seriously our position among the
nations, paying the price of isolation, ridicule, and persecution if need be? Or will we, as a nation, succumb to the
humanistic, secular, and respectable appeal of the intelligencia with its open minded, sophisticated, and cultural façade?
Will we choose our divine destiny according to the word of the Lord, or the worldly, humanistic option of compromise and
denial? The burning prophets of the wilderness will yet clash with the religious and political hierarchies, calling them to
repent, humble themselves, and prepare the way of the Lord. Pray for the masses to have ears to hear.
Until we, as a nation, embrace our own calling and election wholeheartedly and find the grace to fulfill our own destiny as
a priestly nation, how can we accuse others of illegally grabbing it and unbiblically displacing us from our position? For
lack of revelation and vision, the nation of Israel avoided her call time and again, looking to others to fulfill it, and in effect
desiring to have herself replaced! If the job was left undone and the post unmanned, any one can enter into it and claim it
as their own.
And so it was. The Church of the Lord Jesus entered into that which was not occupied and assumed Israel's role. And
while the Church is called to share with Christ in His rule and coming Kingdom, she was never intended to do so in the
political and national arena. That unique and specific post is reserved for a redeemed Israel alone. All other attempts to
fill it will prove futile, deceptive, and will fade away.
Pray for Israel, then, that the Spirit of God may arouse her and that she may begin to remember who she really is. Let
the ancient fountains of the covenants, the promises, the patriarchs, and the glorious historical miracles we have had
with God, reopen in our days, and let living waters flow again in our cities. Pray for revelation, as it alone can quicken the
sick, wounded, and scarred hearts; pray for conviction, as it alone can cut through layers of unbelief, hardness, and
deception; and pray for mercy, for God alone can remove the veil that He Himself placed upon the Jewish hearts for a
season.
"For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their
disobedience, so these also now have been disobedient, in order that because of the mercy shown to you
they also may now be shown mercy. For God has shut up all in disobedience that He might show mercy to
all." Romans 11:30-32.
Thank you for praying with and for us these days. Remember my wife, Mary Lou, and the child in her womb during these
difficult days while I am serving in Japan with national leadership. From the land of the rising Son, I bless you all.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you, Pastor Reuven Doron

On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You
who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves; And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes
Jerusalem a praise in the earth. [Isaiah 62:6-7 NAS]

The Revival On The Hebrides Islands

Duncan Campbell
WHEN THE MOUNTAINS FLOWED DOWN
All Scriptures KJV
Editor's Note:
This article is adapted from a taped message delivered by Mr. Duncan Campbell approximately thirty years ago to the
students of the Faith Mission Bible College in Edinburgh, Scotland. It chronicles some of Mr. Campbell's experiences
and insights related to the revival from 1949-1953 in Hebrides Islands off the northwestern coast of Scotland.
Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down
at thy presence. As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name
known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst terrible things
which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. Isaiah 64:1-3
I never read that third verse without my mind going back to what actually happened in the parish of Barvas on the island
of Lewis. At the outset, let me make it clear that I did not bring revival to the Hebrides. I had the privilege of being there
and in some small way leading the movement for about three years but God moved in the parish of Barvas before I set
foot on the island. Revival is still a sign which is spoken against, and you cannot believe every story you have heard
about the Lewis Awakening. Down through the years things have been said which have no foundation in fact, however,
facts are powerful things.
REVIVAL DEFINED
First, let me tell you what I mean by revival. An evangelistic campaign or special meeting is not revival. In a successful
evangelistic campaign or crusade, there will be hundreds or even thousands of people making decisions for Jesus Christ,
but the community remains untouched, and the churches continue much the same as before the outreach. In revival, God
moves in the district. Suddenly, the community becomes God conscious. The Spirit of God grips men and women in
such a way that even work is given up as people give themselves to waiting upon God. In the midst of the Lewis
Awakening, the parish minister at Barvas wrote, "The Spirit of the Lord was resting wonderfully on the different townships
of the region. His Presence was in the homes of the people, on meadow and moorland, and even on the public roads."
This presence of God is the supreme characteristic of a God-sent revival. Of the hundreds who found Jesus Christ during
this time fully seventy-five per cent were saved before they came near a meeting or heard a sermon by myself or any
other ministers in the parish. The power of God, the Spirit of God, was moving in operation, and the fear of God gripped
the souls of men - this is God-sent revival as distinct from special efforts in the field of evangelism.
A FOUNDATION OF INTERCESSION AND VISION
How did this gracious movement begin? In 1949, the local presbytery issued a proclamation to be read on a certain
Sunday in all the Free Churches on the island of Lewis. This proclamation called the people to consider the "low state of
vital religion . . . throughout the land . . . and the present dispensation of Divine displeasure . . . due to growing
carelessness toward public worship . . . and the growing influence of the spirit of pleasure which has taken growing hold
of the younger generation." They called on the churches to "take these matters to heart and to make serious inquiry what
must be the end if there be no repentance. We call upon every individual as before God to examine his or her life in light
of that responsibility which attends to us all and that happily in divine mercy we may be visited with a spirit of repentance
and turn again to the Lord whom we have so grieved." I am not prepared to say what effect the reading of this declaration
had upon the ministers or people of the island in general, but I do know that in the parish of Barvas a number of men and
women took it to heart, especially two old women. I am ashamed to think of it - two sisters, one eighty-two and one
eight-four, the latter blind. These two women developed a great heart concern for God to do something in the parish and
gave themselves to waiting upon God in their little cottage.
One night God gave one of the sisters a vision. Now, we have got to understand that in revival remarkable things happen.
It is supernatural; you are not moving on human levels; you are moving in divine places. In the vision, she saw the
churches crowded with young people and she told her sister, "I believe revival is coming to the parish." At that time, there
was not a single young person attending public worship, a fact which cannot be disputed. Sending for the minister, she
told him her story, and he took her message as a word from God to his heart. Turning to her he said, "What do you think
we should do?" What?" she said, "Give yourself to prayer; give yourself to waiting upon God. Get your elders and
deacons together and spend at least two nights a week waiting upon God in prayer. If you will do that at your end of the
parish, my sister and I will do it at our end of the parish from ten o'clock at night until two or three o'clock in the morning."
So, the minister called his leaders together and for several months they waited upon God in a barn among the straw.
During this time they plead one promise, "For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon dry ground: I will
pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring" (Isaiah 44:3). This went on for at least three months.
Nothing happened. But one night a young deacon rose and began reading from Psalm 24, "Who shall ascend into the hill
of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his
soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his
salvation" (Psalm 24:3-5). Closing his Bible, he addressed the minister and other office bearers in words that sound
crude in English, but not so crude in our Gaelic language, "It seems to me so much humbug. To be waiting as we are
waiting, to be praying as we are praying, when we ourselves are not rightly related to God." Then, he lifted his hands
toward heaven and prayed, "O God, are my hands clean? Is my heart pure?" Then, he went to his knees and fell into a
trance. Now, don't ask me to explain the physical manifestations of this movement because I can't, but this I do know,
that something happened in the barn at that moment in that young deacon. There was a power loosed that shook the
heavens and an awareness of God gripped those gathered together.
BREAKTHROUGH IN BARVAS
Now, I wasn't in the island at the time. I was in another area when word came asking me to come to Lewis for ten days. I
had other meetings scheduled and wrote back that I would put Barvas on my calender for the following year. However, do
to circumstances I won't go into, my other meetings were canceled, and I found it possible to go to the islands as
requested. Arriving by boat, I was met by the minister of the church and one of his office bearers. As I stepped ashore,
the office bearer came to me and said, "Mr. Campbell, may I ask you a question? Are you walking with God?" I was
happy to be able to respond, "I can say this at any rate, I fear God."
They had arranged for me to address the church at a short meeting beginning at nine o'clock that night. It was a
remarkable meeting. God sovereignly moved, and there was an awareness of God which was wonderful. The meeting
lasted until four o'clock in the morning, and I had not witnessed anything to compare with it at any other time during my
ministry. Around midnight, a group of young people left a dance and crowded into the church. There were people who
couldn't go to sleep because they were so gripped by God. Although there was an awareness of God and a spirit of
conviction at this initial meeting, the real breakthrough came a few days later on Sunday night in the parish church. The
church was full, and the Spirit of God was moving in such a way that I couldn't preach. I just stood still and gazed upon
the wondrous moving of God. Men and women were crying out to God for mercy all over the church. There was no appeal
made whatsoever. After meeting for over three hours, I pronounced the benediction and told the people to go out, but
mentioned that any who wanted to continue the meeting could come back later. A young deacon came to me and said,
"Mr. Campbell, God is hovering over us." About that time the clerk of the session asked me to come to the back door.
There was a crowd of at least 600 people gathered in the yard outside the church... Someone gave out Psalm 102 and
the crowd streamed back in to the church which could no longer hold the number of people. A young school teacher
came down front crying out, "O God, is there nothing left for me?" She is a missionary in Nigeria today. There was a bus
load of people coming to the meeting from sixty miles away. The power of God came into the bus so that some could not
even enter the church when the bus arrived. People were swooning all over the church, and I cannot remember one single
person who was moved on by God that night who was not gloriously born again. When I went out of the church at four
o'clock in the morning there were a great number of people praying alongside the road. In addition to the school teacher,
several of those born again that night are in foreign mission work today.
IN CHURCH, MEADOW AND MOORLAND
From Barvas, the move of God spread to the neighboring districts. I received a message that a nearby church was
crowded at one o'clock in the morning and wanted me to come. When I arrived, the church was full and there were
crowds outside. Coming out of the church two hours later, I found a group of 300 people, unable to get into the church,
praying in a nearby field. One old woman complained about the noise of the meetings because she could not get to
sleep. A deacon grabbed her and shook her, saying, "Woman, you have been asleep long enough!"
There was one area of the islands which wanted me to come but I didn't feel any leading to accept the invitation. The
blind sister encouraged me to go and told me, "If you were living as near to God as you ought to be, He would reveal His
secrets to you." I agreed to spend a morning in prayer with her in the cottage. As we prayed, the sister said, "Lord, you
remember what you told me today that you were going to save seven men in this church. I just gave your message to Mr.
Campbell and please give him wisdom because he badly needs it." She told me if I would go to the village, God would
provide a congregation. I agreed to go, and when I arrived at seven o'clock, there were approximately 400 people at the
church. The people could not tell what it was that had brought them; it had been directed by the Spirit of God. I spoke for
a few minutes on the text "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to
repent' (Acts 17:30). One of the ministers stopped me and said, "Come see this." At one end of the meeting house, the
most notorious characters in the community were on their faces crying out to God.
On a trip to a neighboring island I found the people were very cold and stiff. Calling for some men to come over and pray, I
particular requested that a young man named Donald accompany them. Donald, who was seventeen years old, had been
recently saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit about two weeks later on a hillside. As we were in the church that night,
Donald was sitting toward the front with tears falling off his face onto the floor. I knew Donald was in touch with God in a
way that I was not. So I stopped preaching and asked him to pray. Donald rose to his feet and prayed, "I seem to be
gazing into an open door and see the Lamb in the midst of the throne and the keys of death and hell on his waist." Then
he stopped and began to sob. After he composed himself, he lifted his eyes toward heaven, raised his hands, and said,
"God, there is power there. Let it loose!" And at that moment the power of God fell upon the congregation. On one side of
the room, the people threw up their hands, put their heads back and kept them in that position for two hours. It is hard to
do this for ten minutes, much less two hours. On the other side, the people were slumped over, crying out for mercy. In a
village five miles away, the power of God swept through the town and there was hardly a house in that village that didn't
have someone saved in it that night.
In one area of the district there was bitter opposition to the movement because I preached the baptism of the Holy Ghost
as a separate and distinct occurrence following conversion. Those who opposed me were so successful in their
opposition that very few people came to the meetings. One night, the session clerk came to me and said, "There is only
one thing we can do to the correct the situation which now prevails. We must give ourselves to waiting upon God in
prayer. I have been told there is a farmer who said we could meet in his home. He is not a Christian and his wife isn't
saved, but they are God-fearing people." About thirty of us, ministers and elders from the district, met in this farmer's
house. I felt the going very, very hard. I prayed. All the ministers prayed. One felt that the very powers of hell were
unleashed. About midnight I turned to one of the elders and told him I thought the time had come for him to lay hold of
God. This man rose to his feet and prayed for about half and hour. (Of course, you must remember that we were in
revival, and in revival time doesn't exist. Nobody was looking at the clock.) The man paused, lifted his hand toward
heaven and said, "God, did You know that your honor is a stake? You gave the promise that You would pour water on the
thirsty and floods upon the dry ground, and You are not doing it." I wonder how many of us could approach God with
words like that on our lips? Then he said, "There are five ministers in this meeting, including Mr. Campbell, and I don't
know where a one of them stands in Your Presence. But if I know anything about my own heart, I think I can say that I
am thirsty for a manifestation of Your power." He paused again, then cried out in aloud voice, "God, Your honor is at
stake and I now challenge You to pour water on the thirsty and floods upon the dry ground." And in that moment the
stone-built house literally shook like a leaf. I immediately went to the Acts of the Apostles where it is recorded that they
prayed and the place where they were assembled was shaken. As soon as this dear man stopped praying, I pronounced
the benediction a little after two o'clock in the morning and went out to find the whole village ablaze with God. I went into
one house and found nine women on their knees in the kitchen crying out to God. One woman saved that night has
written some of the finest Gaelic hymns in our Gaelic hymnal. On the following Sunday, the road was black with the
people walking two miles to the church. The drinking house in that particular village closed that night and has never
reopened since. This is God at work. A God sent revival is always a revival of holiness.
CONCLUSION
It takes the supernatural to break the bonds of the natural. You can make a community mission-conscious. You can
make a community crusade-conscious. But only God can make a community God-conscious. Just think about what
would happen if God came to any community in power. I believe that day is coming. May God prepare us all for it. Amen.

He Has Promised Victory

Nita Johnson

In Zechariah Ch. 3 we see the Picture of what will soon happen. Although the nations of the earth are
going to be in turmoil, the true Church is going to be pure, strong, powerful and a brilliant witness for
the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Church is even now going through some sifting, but will be going through an even greater sifting
before the purpose of God is fulfilled. Don't be afraid, Dear Friend, for the sifting will not be
experienced without the present grace of God to walk through it. For Jesus said I will never leave you
nor forsake you. We can always be assured of the goodness of His promise.
Let me share the vision of God, then I will share His encouragement from the Scripture. First, I saw an
army that was almost without life. It was battle-worn and seemingly near an end of itself. The army was
sitting, exhausted, weary, beaten and bruised and slumped down with an attitude of defeat. When
suddenly I saw the Word of the Lord shoot down from heaven and begin to make deep trenches in the
earth. I saw it running to and fro creating these trenches of truth deep in the earth every where it
traveled. As it would touch this person and that, the Word would enter into their innermost being and
begin to heal their infirmity. If the person were spiritually blind, they would be given eyes to see. If they
were spiritually deaf, they would be given ears to hear. If they were lame or maimed, they would be
healed, hence they would become a new, vital part of the army of God.
Then I saw a brilliant shaft of light shoot down from heaven upon the true army of God. I heard the
voice of God trumpet from heaven over all the earth. It was a living Word that came forth and would
follow the shaft of light that had fallen upon the great desolate army of God. As this occurred the army
lifted up as great warriors. It was almost as though they were superhuman in valor and strength.
Perhaps they could be described as an army of modem day Samsons or the likes of the mighty men
of valor that fought under David. They were a fearful host of beings. They were ready to take on the
enemy and this time would not be defeated.
So, what does that have to do with the high priest of Zechariah? just this, look at verse two. The Word
says: God rebuked Satan and all his accusations. And, is not this a brand plucked out of the fire. That
is a large part of the fire. It will be a fire of accusations both from the world and within the Church. It will
produce an inner tearing down of the army's strength. Further, all but the most accomplished people of
prayer will find it nearly impossible to pray because of severe distractions and personal pain. There
will be attacks against finances, health and the family. But, the enemy will not prevail! Members of the
body will get lifted up in pride, fall into deceptions and lead many others astray and into battlegrounds
where they will be temporarily maimed. But, the enemy will not prevail! Those who desire truth will be
brought back to truth and healed just as I saw, of all infirmities. As I write this, I am reminded of a
couple of visions the Lord gave me in I believe it was 1988 or 1989, where I saw this same thing, but
in a different way. The promise was again the same; Satan will not prevail! The great army of God is
going to be a brand plucked out of the fire. When a lump of coal is set aflame the fire dances all over
the surface of it. After intense burning the coal begins to carry the fire deep with in, and is at that time
most effective. So it will be with the Church. Once this fire comes from within, there is no stopping the
burning that will result in absolute victory.
We were once clothed with filthy clothes. (vs 3 & 4) This is indicative of the sin that we have toyed with
as a Christian. But, the day is coming when we will be purged of that which now offends our Father
and will thus be cleansed. God will utter His voice to bring this about saying "The warfare is now over,
the purging has fulfilled its purpose, be clean from your sins, and made whole." And just like that we
will be freed of our shackles and begin to reign.
We will be adorned with the full priestly garment as well as carrying the authority of kings. (vs 5) Then
comes the promise, that if we will walk in His ways and keep His charge, (be responsible to the gift of
God), then we will walk among those who have been given their place of reigning already. God is
going to have a great and terrible army in these last days. Consequently, we need not fear the days
ahead. For we are in the hands of the One who knows the beginning from the end, and He has
promised victory.
Your Friend,
Nita

Hidden and Waiting

Deborah Lynne
I have been at a place that I would call the wilderness. It has been a time of revealing the heart, cleansing and removing.
He has said that whatever is in the heart will be manifest.
I have seen my sin like I never saw it before, clearly, unmasked. I recall standing in my kitchen and the words came from
my mouth. "Lord you have brought me here to die." That was the truth, it has been a place of dying to self, all my
dreams, desires, hopes, plans, thoughts of what would or could be. Death ! Where it is just me and the Lord, and at
times even He has seemed absent.
No one calls anymore, those who I thought were friends have turned aside. I am not fun to be with, my mind is on other
things, the parties hold no pleasure for me. My desire is to hear from my Lord, to be with Him. It is His voice I long for,
only His approval do I require. I believe I have been prepared all my life for "such a time as this" . I have been blessed with
the blessing of rejection. I am at the edge of the "Red Sea". There is no possible way out, before me is the sea, behind
me is bondage...And do you know what, the Lord has Led me here ! This is a place of complete dependency on Him,
unless He moves I am here forever. But, as with the Israelites, He has promised a new land, a land we will possess,
flowing with milk and honey (anointing ). This is what we have to look forward to, this is what is before us, let us look past
the circumstances and continue to look to our Lord for deliverance, but not just for us but also for those who are called by
His name, the name that is above all names, Jesus.
There is a remnant, call it a Davidic Army, that are being prepared to possess the land, you know who you are, though
others do not. You relate to what I have said here, I want you to KNOW. God has brought you to this place, He will bring
you through. That no man will get the glory for what our Lord is about to do. Praise be to His name forever.!!!
In Him Who Matters Most...

Hirelings In My House
Received this 5/24/95 0120 hrs.....Feel it now can be released...........
My house has become a house of ill-repute. My shepherds have become prostitutes.
They have bowed down to the gods of conformity and control. They seek to keep their reputation with
men while discarding My visitation and disdaining the works of My Spirit.
They have become like corrupt judges. If you pay homage to their man-made rules you can gain their
favor, and if not you are like refuse and they put you in jail unjustly.
Superficial kindness and PRETENSE are the tricks of Harlotry ! But therein lies darkness and it's path
leads to death.
I've said "If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father."
Do NOT be afraid of the intimidation of spiritual WOLVES lest like Oholah and Oholabah, I send
judgement on you for preferring your adulteries with the love of man over the love of GOD.
Kiss the Son lest He be angry !

Can the blind lead the blind ???
Therefore, unless you turn from your harlotries, I will give My sheep to other shepherds who I will raise
up to heal their wounds and who will bear their burdens, and who will go after those who've gone
astray.
My NEW shepherds will not disdain intimacy with ME and they will NOT TAKE THE GLORY FOR
THEMSELVES. They will not wear garments of wool (which represent that which causes sweat =
man's efforts) but rather pure LINEN.
They will raise up the former desolations and repair the cities, NOT by MIGHT, NOT by power, but BY
MY SPIRIT.

precious in My eyes just as you are. Hold them tenderly to your heart. Open your hearts to them. Do
not hide yourself from them. If you hurt, they need to see it. If you rejoice, they need to see it. Be real to

My Shepherds, are to keep watch over My Sheep as men who must give an account. My Sheep are to
obey you so that your work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. Heb.
13:17. Obey My Word today. Do not hold back what I have spoken. Do not hold back what needs to
be spoken. For you, My Shepherds, are accountable for every word you speak and every word you
don't speak. Speak My Truth only. Prepare My Sheep. Prepare My Precious Children. They are all
precious in My sight. Every one of them. My Shepherds, I love you with an undying love. Stand and be
firm with My Sheep, but do it all in love. My love. For the day is coming when we will see each other
face to face and great are your rewards. I love you, My Shepherds.

The Horsemen Are Coming!

Bill Burns:
December 18, 1998:

Today, as I sit before the Lord of Hosts, I am aware of the coming storm. The wind is blowing, and
upon the wind comes the sound of His voice. Over and over again these words keep coming, "The
horsemen are coming. One has already come, but there are three yet to come."
In the distance, I hear the sound of hoof beats thundering across the land. Dark and ominous clouds of
death are gathering as though the sun is clothed with sackcloth. The moon has become red like blood,
and through the sound of thunder comes the Master's voice. America, America, land of the free and
the brave, have you heard this sound? Are you ready for the judgment to come? For, you would say to
Me, Lord, Lord, we have endured the enemy, and we have won. But, I say, you have not yet run with
these three horsemen which come. You have only run with the footmen, and they have wearied you.
Then, how will you contend with horses? And if in this land of peace, in which you have trusted, they
wearied you, then what will you do with the flood of destruction that comes?
Is it not written that you should pray that your flight may not be in the winter? And, have I not told you to
find yourselves in safe habitations by the winter for tribulations are coming? You have heard it said
that this is the time of My justice, and it is so, for the horsemen come! Now hear what the Spirit says.
The white horse has been running to and fro across your land loosing the fiery darts of Antichrist, and
your land has become defiled. This horse was loosed when you, a nation called one nation under
God, took the voice of prayer from the mouths of My children. I have given you time to repent, but you
would not. Not only did you take My voice from My children, but then you began to offer their blood to
the rider of the white horse, and you took their lives in the womb, and their blood cries out from the
ground.
How long, O Lord, holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell
on the earth?
And, this is My answer to My children. Now come the three horses, the red horse comes to take
peace from the earth, and war shall come. Then comes the black horse, and famine will come to the
land of plenty. Then comes the pale horse and death shall cover the land. The winter is a time of
preparation, a time for the birthing of faith, a pure faith, a strong faith, a holy faith. To those who are
Mine I say, fear not. Though the enemy has been loosed, I have written a decree for the provision of
My own. To those who are called by My name the oil and wine will be given, for it has been written,
"Do not harm the oil and wine."
As the Master's voice fades, I once again am aware of the sound of hooves...thundering through the
spirit world, and again I hear, "The horsemen are coming." The still small voice of the Spirit calls,
"Come now and hide yourself until the indignation passes you by. Come and be found in Me."

The Heart of God

by Karen Snyder
This is a word the L-rd gave me last fall and I thought it might be an encouragement to all of you!
Karen Snyder
"My children, you are my precious ones whom I sent my Son to die for. He gave everything that you might have life
eternally with me! And it is with great joy that I invite you to come and dine with me each and every day on my Word. For
I have given you all that you need to complete a balanced meal. Therefore you should all be healthy, but you are not. And
I have seen how you have hungered and not been filled and I have seen your wounds and scars and I hear your screams
of pain. And I know you are not being fed complete meals and that the enemy is determined to destroy you. And I see
you recoil from the pain of an attack from your brother and sister. And I know that you long to be whole in me and that
you are truly trying to serve me daily. For I do see your hearts before me and I hear every heart cry. And I see that you
have only a little strength for the battle has been overwhelming at times. You are exhausted by the fight and only desire
to hide in me.
But I say unto you, my children, you must rise up in this last hour and stand against Satan. For he desires to devour you
completely. But I will not allow it! For I am the God of the universe and King of all the earth and he was created by me for
good, therefore he shall not always be allowed to devastate you and your brothers and sisters! For I shall have my way
with him and he shall not destroy you! Therefore, stand up, and do not look back! But go forth with my Word as your
sword and your shield of faith to protect you and slay him! And I will give you the strength you need to defeat him even as
I gave strength to the stone David slew Goliath with. So I will give you strength as you step out in faith to defeat him in
your midst! Do not allow self pity, defeat and discouragement to convince you that you will fail. For they are but weak
enemies before your God! And I shall crush them with my fingernail! And they will not bother you again! But you must
repent for your unbelief and for attacking the wrong enemy. For the enemy is he who comes to your thoughts and tests
your heart before me! And we watch to see the decisions you make during the trial, just as we did with Job. For the
heavenly multitude is your audience, even when you think you are all alone!
Rejoice! For today and onward you shall see victories you have longed for since the beginning! For I shall do mighty
works in the earth, beginning with you, my beloved children! For I do long to commune with you and enjoy intimate
fellowship with each and every one of you! For your love delights my heart and I do desire to dwell with you and in you in
a new way! Do not be afraid, for you shall experience hope and peace as you have longed for and miracles shall take
place before your very eyes! Look to me for all you need, obey my Word for it is your daily bread and it is completely
balanced to meet your every spiritual requirement! Drink deeply at my well and your thirst shall be totally quenched.
Allow me to heal your hearts and bodies and do not pull back in fear! For I will heal you and deliver you from your pain
and torment, but you must yield yourselves to me and allow me to come in and perform spiritual surgery where the
damage has been done to your heart! For I see each and every pain and hurt you have ever endured and my heart aches
with each twinge you feel! And I know better than anyone else, what your pain is like and therefore that makes me the
very best surgeon you could ever ask for! Allow me to heal your broken heart! Allow me to stitch the wounds and place
healing balm on each wound! For I am the healer of broken hearts and the mender of all breaches and I can do the
impossible in you! And I can do the impossible in your brothers and sisters and in those who have hurt you and rejected
you! For my Son was rejected by the world! What greater rejection is there? Who can understand better than the one
who was rejected? Can you say?
Oh, precious ones, come to your Father for all that you need and I will teach you to fight in my army and when you are
trained you shall be an elite force in the earth! And not one enemy shall cross your path and live! For I shall give you
power over every enemy you have ever faced and those who once tried to destroy you. And you shall be made strong and
able to beat him at his own game. And we shall be victors over all that once threatened to consume you! For you are
chosen ones to me and I have a special place for each and every one of you from the greatest to the least! And it would
break my heart if you would refuse to be chosen by me, your heavenly Father. For I have chosen each one of you from
your mother's womb to be elite forces in my army, my terrible army! And we shall succeed in destroying every work of
the enemy and many of you shall recruit more and more for my army and we shall have complete victory over the enemy
of your souls! Will you hear my call? Will you say yes to me? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to have me and to
have victory? Are you willing to go through my boot camp so that I may prepare you for what lies ahead? For I will take
anyone who says "yes" to me! Come, my Beloved! Come to me! Say yes to your God!"

Holy War
Dr. Michael L Brown
Listen, a noise on the mountains like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like
nations massing together! The LORD is mustering an army for war (Isa 13:4).
Prepare for battle men of war! It's time to enter the conflict.
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle (Psa 144:1).
The LORD is a warrior; the LORD is His name (Exod 15:3) -
and every saint in His kingdom is drafted. Child of God, you are consigned to military service! Change your thinking,
comrade in arms. You're in the army now.
So say the words of the Old Testament:
Let the saints rejoice in His honor and sing for joy on their beds. May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands, to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, to carry out the sentence written against
them. This is the glory of all His saints (Psa 149:5-9).
So say the words of the New Testament:
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your
stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the
heavenly realms (Eph 6:10-12).
So says John's vision of Jesus:
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice He judges and makes war (Rev 19:11).
Our Savior is a Soldier! Our God is a General! The One we worship is a Warrior! We are His troops being led into battle.
Let us enter the fray without fear!
Swords and armor; warfare and battle; vengeance and victory: The Bible is a Book of War. No wonder, then, that Paul
called his fellow workers Epaphroditus and Archippus fellow soldiers (see Phil 2:25; Phlm 2). The battle for human souls
is truly the 'mother of all battles.'
In the Old Testament, God's people drove out nations; today, we drive out demons. Then, Israel destroyed the Horites
and Hivites; now, we disciple the heathen and the hateful. They exterminated their enemies; we evangelize ours. They
fought with spears and arrows; we fight with prayer and the Word. But the warfare is just as real. The conflict is just as
intense. In fact, spiritual battles are even more real than physical battles. The victories are greater too!
People of God, hear these words. Now is not the time to settle down and rest. Now is not the time to pursue material
ease. Now is not the time to cry: "Peace, peace! All is well, all is well!" Jer 6:14) Now is the time to fight.
The days coming upon us will be holy and hard, radical and rough, miraculous and militant. Soft saints will not stand.
Flabby followers will fall. Only the powerful will prevail, and you become powerful by walking with your God (Dan 11:32b).
God's army must awake and march forth. God's army must arise and shine. Children of the Lord, be strong! Engage the
foe and fight! Whoever said war would be fun? Whoever said the battlefront would be easy? Soldiers fight for their lives.
And soldiers fight with their lives.
Alfred Lord Tennyson, the great English poet, described the scene of the fateful Charge of the Light Brigade:
Half a league, half a league

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said.
Into the valley of Death
"Forward, the Light Brigade!"

Was there a man dismayed?
Not though the soldier knew
Someone had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,

Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Cannon to the right of them,

Cannon to the left of them,
Canon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell,
Rode the six hundred. . .
Such is the attitude of the true solider. Such is the attitude expected of us:
Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in
civilian affairs - he wants to please his commanding officer (2 Tim 2:3-4).
Pleasing the Lord,- our victorious Commander and Chief is our highest and most wonderful call. John "Praying' Hyde, a
devoted saint who knew great intimacy with the Lord, understood this well:
I know but one word obedience. I know how a soldier will obey an order even to death and I can't expect to
look Jesus Christ in the face and obey Him less than a soldier his commander.
The soldiers of the Light Brigade rode straight to their deaths. Their officer gave the wrong command. Still they rode on.
Why? They were soldiers! But our Commander will never lead us astray. Will we unhesitatingly follow His marching
orders? Will we fight for our Commander, sacrifice for our Commander, die for our Commander? He already died for us!
Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you,
and you will suffer persecution. Be faithful even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of
life (Rev 2:10).
They overcame him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love
their lives so much as to shrink from death Rev 12:11).
What are the characteristics of God's army?
l. God's army must be holy and consecrated.

Otherwise, God will not be in our midst. Otherwise, He will not fight for us. In fact, if we understand that God always
stands against sin, then it is dear that we must be set apart from all uncleanness if we want the Lord on our side. That's
why He told the leaders of Israel to sanctify the people before the troops marched out to battle. Are you consecrated?
2. God's army must be devoted to its Commander and Chief.

Loyalty to Jesus must drive us, move us, motivate us, push us, inspire us, help us, carry us. What greater motivation
could we possible have? Are you devoted?
3. God's army must be courageous.

We must not be staggered by daunting odds. We must not fear the faces of those who oppose us. We must stand up,
speak out, and obey, regardless of the consequences, just like frail, old Mother Teresa did recently at the National
Prayer Breakfast, denouncing abortion as the root of all violence today - with the Clinton's and Gore's sitting beside her.
Are you courageous?
4. God's army must be obedient to death.

As Tennyson wrote of the Light Brigade soldiers: "Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do
and die." How much more does this apply to God's army, fighting for the eternal salvation of human souls, battling over
issues of life and death, striving for morality, truth, and justice, waging spiritual war against the powers of darkness? Are
you obedient?
5. God's army must be filled with faith.

Jonathan, son of Saul, wasn't afraid of the Philistine army, even though they had the weapons and the manpower.
Jonathan had the Lord! Paul's words are not just a religious cliche: 'If God is for us, who can be against us?' (Rom 8:31)
You can stake your life on that promise. Jonathan and his armorbearer did: 'Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving,"
said Jonathan, 'whether by many or by few' - to which his armorbearer replied: 'Do all that you have in mind. Go ahead; I
am with you heart and soul" (1 Sam 14:6-7). That's the kind of attitude God can bless. Who knows what He will do, if we
will only believe. Are you filled with faith?
6. God's army must be aggressive.

David 'ran quickly toward the battle line' to engage Goliath in battle (I Sam 17:48) - even thou the Philistine giant had
terrified the Israelite troops for the previous forty days. Then David used Goliath's own sword to cut off the enemy's head.
He threw himself into the battle and held nothing back. He fought to win! Jesus taught that, in order to dispossess the
strong man, someone stronger must 'attack and overpower him." We must get aggressive with the devil today. Are you
aggressive?
7. God's army must subordinate its life and will to a higher cause.
The apostle Paul said: 'I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so
that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or death. For to me to live is Christ and to die is
gain' (Phil 1:20-21). Are you given over to a higher cause?
8. God's army must not be afraid to fight

In our conflict with sin and Satan there will be some scuffles. In crushing the enemy's head, our heels might get bruised
(Gen 3:15). But that is the nature of war. Elijah was wonderfully used by God when he publicly and fearlessly confronted
the false prophets on Mount Carmel. But when fear entered, he fled. Fear can paralyze us too! But, 'through our God, we
shall do valiantly." Are you unafraid to fight.
9. God's army must be anointed.

If s God's war! It's God battle! We can only fight with His weapons, His strategy, His anointing. Israel's priests had to be
anointed before they could serve; the kings had to be anointed before they could rule; the prophets could do nothing
without God's anointing. Do we dare speak and act for God without Bs Spirit upon us? It is the Spirit's anointing that sets
the captives free. Are you anointed?
The conflict of the ages is upon us. Treacherous times are coming. Everything that can be shaken must be shaken. Only
the righteous will not be shaken. Are you righteous? Turn from every defilement and sin and cast off all condemnation.
Renew your faith in the saving and keeping power of the blood of Jesus. Walk in the righteousness given to you by God.
And put the devil to flight.
The hour is absolutely urgent. Heaven is looking for laborers. It is as if billboards have been posted: 'Wanted: true
soldiers of the cross! Wanted: prophetic voices for a deaf generation! Wanted: devoted saints who will not love their lives
even to the point of death."
There is only one question: What is the immediate task of your life? A soldier in battle risks life and limb to rescue a
severely wounded friend or to launch a frontal assault on an enemy position. And if he never sees his family again ...
such is the price of war! He knows what he must do. His choice is only to act. What is God calling us to do now? What
is His short term and long term battle plan for us? A nice home? A good education? A big family? A successful career?
For what purpose? While the world dies? While lost souls perish? While the devil gains ground by the hour?
No! The whole purpose of our lives is to glorify God, to actively and passionately work to extend His kingdom, and to do
as much damage to the dominion of darkness as we possibly can. And whatever we have - families, homes,
possessions, jobs, education, talents, influence - must be dedicated to these very same purposes. Think of the power of
whole families and churches radically devoted to the kingdom of God! Think of the power of a true believer completely
given over to the Lord!
Even now, hundreds of thousands of Muslims cry for jihad (holy war), slaughtering men, women, and children in their
fanatical devotion to militant Islam. The Orthodox Jewish doctor, Baruch Goldstein, launched his own holy war in a
mosque in Hebron, murdering thirty Muslim men as they knelt in prayer. And to this very day, communist terrorists
commit atrocities against unarmed civilians, as they seek to advance their cause.
Yes, the devil is mustering his army too - filled with hatred, venom, violence, and sin. Will we rise up for God, clothed
with righteousness, love, wisdom, faith and power? The time, fellow soldiers, is at hand. If we don't fight, who will?

Hope deferred
Sherry Mackey
September 2, 1998:
Hope deferred makes a heart sick. Be assured My beloved, that I AM leading you on paths of righteousness for My name
sake. The paths of circumstances & trouble only serve to enlarge your experience of My righteousness. Though you walk
in the midst of trouble I AM there & I will deliver you. You learn obedience to righteousness by what you suffer. Who can
have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way? Unless of course you yourself are compassed
with troubles. Though a righteous man fall seven times a day, he will get back up. Because I AM with him to deliver him.
You have been made right with Me because of your trust in My perfect righteousness. Through this faith in Me, I have
brought you into the Fathers Grace & made it available by My shed blood for you to partake of the glory of Cross & the
glory of My presence. Your troubles are working a far greater benefit than you can ever imagine. Your troubles are
producing patience, My type of patience, patient endurance. My patience in you is producing My character & nature.
This character produces hope for your future, because you made it this far, & you will continue for I AM with you to teach
you. Your hope in Me will never disappoint you, because at the very last moment I will swoop down & rescue you. If I did
it last year, I'll do it this year! Though you become unfaithful, I remain faithful! I died for you when you were ignorant &
weak. Know that in all your struggles & weaknesses that I AM still with you to deliver you from those bodies of death.
Death is working life in you.
I came for the sick, the weak, & the outcast. In the midst of religious hypocrisy I sat at the table, divinely appointed for
such a time as that. To make a clear point. A sinful woman who desperately pressed into that house, against all hope
believed in hope for her future. As she pressed into that house, the religious scoffed & mocked her. Some even knowing
her personally scorned her after they were as guilty as she. But in the pious pride of the establishment they must keep
the mask of hypocrisy on. She offered the most pricey perfume, she broke open the alabaster jar & her tears bathed My
feet. She worshipped at My feet, her glory wiped My feet. She identified in the only hope for her soul. She wanted true
unconditional love with Me. The perfume that was once used for attracting men to fill the void of her heart, was now
applied to My feet. Her reputation in the community was that of trash, but yet she made a mark on My heart in her great
love. She was forgiven of many things therefore she could only come up. Did I know what kind of woman she was? Her
remembrance went down in history for a memorial.
There were many people gathered to see Me. Many stepping on each other to gain advantage. You must beware of the
leaven of hypocrisy. Everything that is hidden will be made known. Pretenders that are clean on the outside are made
manifest to Me. I delight in restoring dead things to life. I AM a God of restoration. My strongest rebukes came to the
religious hypocrites. Those who thought they were right with Me. The climbing to their pinnacles of success brought them
honor in the "self righteous" sense. But these pinnacles shall crumble. For surely the highest place is at My feet in
brokeness. In your brokeness you release fragrance & I will fill that void with love in your heart. For those that lift
themselves up shall be brought low. But those that are at My feet, I shall lift up into My face.

Horsehoofs
Lynne Williams
Thu, 20 Aug 1998
This is the time to release the 'Word of the Lord'.
In February 1998, I was called out (along with Dave Bodine) by the Pastor of Renewed Hope Ministries. He said "You two
prophets of the Lord, come here. The Lord wants you to know that the reason your ministries have not been released,
and why the anointing you have sensed has not yet been unleashed. The Lord says it is because the word He has put in
your heart, the people have not been ready to hear!"
I hit the floor and as soon as I did I started to hear these words "I hear the sound of the hoofs of many horses" I hear the
sound of the hoofs of many horses." Over and over again I heard these words. Then I saw the horses! They were fierce,
and they were riding over the top of me. I was laying underneath them, and I could see the bottom of their hoofs, and the
riders. They were flying furiously over me, as fast as they could go. They were dark reddish brown in color. Then the Lord
spoke to me " Get yourself up off the floor and look for the horses in Jeremiah!" I jumped up off the floor and got my Bible.
The first scripture I found was; Jer. 4:10-22(Amp.)
"(10) Then I Jeremiah said, Alas Lord God! Surely you have greatly deceived and misled this people and
Jerusalem ( for the prophets represented You as) saying (to your people) you shall have peace, whereas the
sword has reached to their very life.
(11) At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the
wilderness ( comes at My command) against the daughter of my people, not (a wind) to fan or cleanse (from
chaff, as when threshing, but)
(12) a wind too strong and full for winnowing comes at My word. Now I will also speak in judgement against
(My people).
(13) Behold, (the enemy) comes up clouds, his chariots like a whirlwind; HIS HORSES ARE SWIFTER
THAN EAGLES. Woe to us for we are ruined, (destroyed)!
(14) Oh Jerusalem wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your iniquitous
and grossly offensive thoughts lodge within you?
(15) For a voice declares from Dan (in the North) and proclaims evil from Mount Ephraim (the range dividing
Israel from Judah).
(16) Warn the (neighboring) nations ( that our adversary is coming ); announce to Jerusalem that besiegers
are coming from a far country, and they shout against the cities of Judah.
(17) Like the keepers of a field they are against her round about, because she has been rebellious against
Me , says the Lord.
(18) Your ways and your doing have brought these things upon you. This is your calamity and doom; surely it
is bitter for surely it reaches your very heart!
(19) (It is not only the prophet but also the people who cry out in their thoughts) My anguish, my anguish, I
writhe in pain! Oh, the walls of my heart! My heart is disquieted, and throbs aloud within me; I cannot be
silent! For I have heard the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
(20) News of one violent disaster and calamity comes close after another, for the whole land is laid waste;
suddenly are my tents spoiled and destroyed, and my tent curtains ruined in a moment.
( 21) [Oh Lord] how long must I see the flag [marketing the route for flight] and hear the sound of the trumpet
[urging the people to flee for refuge]?
(22) [Their chastisement will continue until it has accomplished its purpose] for My people are stupid, says
the Lord {replying to Jeremiah]; they do not know and understand Me. They are thickheaded children, and
they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to good , they have no knowledge [and know not
how].
The next day I had a dream. I was exhausted and took a nap in the afternoon. Right after I fell asleep, someone came to
the door and woke me up. I thought it was my daughter, so I answered the door with my hair a fright. It was some Pastor
inviting the neighbors to his church. I was embarrassed about the way I looked. Then I went back to sleep for 2 hrs. My
husband called and woke me up out of a dream from the Lord. In the dream we were in a large hotel, and were attending
a large meeting, ( it seemed as though it was a secular banquet). The waiter came over to our table and asked us very
sternly if we had invitations to this banquet. My husband replied in just as stern a manner that, 'yes we did'. Then he said
to me, you better go comb your hair. So I headed for the bathroom, and discovered I was in the men's bathroom. So I
tried to sneak out, but I heard Doctors and nurses in the stalls getting dressed into their uniforms to go to work. So I
went and found a mirror in the hall. As I was fixing my hair I heard this song of anguish coming over the loud speaker. I
heard a high tenor singing it. The words started out " Oh America , America, God shed His grace on thee, Oh America,
America, what used to be will never be ….
I began to sob from the depths of my spirit and 'knew' something awful had happened to America. In my dream I thought
this is what the horses hoofs meant! I started going through the hotel telling people "the only way you'll make it through
this , is to be right with the Lord!" But they looked at me like they didn't know what had happened. Then the phone rang
and it was my husband. I was sobbing so hard I couldn't talk, not even enough to tell him what my dream was about. I
knew America had been invaded, and would never be the same again! The Lord has told me to finish the song to
America. I wish I could sing it to you.
WAKE UP AMERICA'S PROPHETS to AWAKEN AMERICA; THE HORSES ARE COMING AND THEY ARE SWIFTER
THAN EAGLES.
WAKE UP THE INTERCESSORS, WAKE UP THE MIGHTY MEN
WAKE UP THE WORSHIPPERS, WAKE UP YOU WARRIORS WAKE UP THE MUSICIANS, CALL FOR THE WAILING
WOMEN IT'S TIME FOR WAR
Is. 42: 13 The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war He shall cry
out, yes shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies.
14) "I have held My peace a long time, I have been still and restrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in
labor. I will pant and gasp at once.
15) I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation; I will make the rivers coast lands,
and I will dry up the pools.
16) I will bring the blind by the way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will
make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not
forsake them.
17) They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, who trust in carved images, who say to the
molded images, you are my gods'.
18) Hear you deaf; and look you blind that you may see.
19) Who is blind but My servant, Or dear as My messenger whom I send? Who is blind as He who is perfect,
and blind as the Lords servant?
20) Seeing many things, but you do not observe; Opening the ears, but he does not hear.
We are entering the 'Days of His Right Hand' The Lord is a Man of War
Ex 15: Your RIGHT HAND oh Lord has become glorious in power; Your RIGHT HAND has dashed the
enemy in pieces. And in the greatness of Your excellence You have overthrown those who rose against You;
You sent forth Your wrath; It consumed them like stubble. And with the blast of your nostrils the waters were
gathered together;
The Lord has been speaking to me for almost 2 yrs. about His Right Hand. At the first of this year the Lord told me that I
was going to have another grandson named 'Benjamin' which means 'the son of my right hand'. At that time not one my
kids were pregnant, neither did they plan to have anymore. But shortly thereafter my daughter-in-law discovered she was
pregnant. She already has 3, all age 3 and under. It seems to us that she got pregnant at the exact time I prophesied
about another grandson named Benjamin. She then told me that if there last baby would have been a boy, they would
have named him Benjamin! They had a girl and named her Rebekah Lynne.
The Lord is calling His prophets forth. The days are over that people will not listen. But the Lord says
"Those of you who have prophesied My words in the past , will not be so quick to speak My words in the
future. For they are the words that will separate and divide, root up and tear down. Those of you who have
sang My songs in the Spirit will not believe what you're hearing from My Spirit, but I tell you to 'listen' closely
to My heart. These are days that I will speak with great authority, and power, and many 'words' will I sing to
my people. You will see great change in the traditions of men. Those of you who still have the 'fear of men'
upon your hearts will fall by the wayside, so I tell you to repent now. Those of you who have been
worshipping men and their positions will suddenly find yourselves with without hope, for many will fall in this
battle. I am about to expose the chaff and blow it to the wind. I tell you "prepare yourselves' now------- the
days are almost over for the 5 foolish virgins. Run into the anointing, and I will hide you away with me while
the indignation passes by. Do not look at what the enemy is doing among My people or you will miss what I
am doing! I am exposing false doctrine, the doctrine of men that brings glory to them and not to Me! Those
who preach for their own self-protection will suddenly be exposed. For I am God and there is no other. I will
not share My glory with another. Those who have been preparing their hearts during this transition time I will
use mightily. I tell you do not look to men, for your hope is in Me and Me alone. Do not depend on anyone,
for in these days many will be offended and fall away from the faith. These are treacherous days, and you do
not know which ground is safe to stand on. So take your stand on the 'rock that will not be moved.
If you have not been preparing yourselves I tell you to fall on your face and cry to me for mercy, and I will
gladly give it. I will strengthen you and uphold you and protect you from the enemy.
Forsake it all now, and throw yourself on Me, for I am mighty to save.

How To Raise The Dead

by Richard M. Riss
Forward by Bill Somers
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? (Acts
26:8)
Raising the Dead is no more difficult than any other type of ministry.
It's simply a matter of faith and obedience.
I have heard testimonies in person from several men who have raised the dead. Don Jones, Henry
Hinn, and David Hogan. There are others I've heard on tape: Calvin Simmons and Moses Ewo. And
I've heard the testimony of Howard Pittman, in person, and Marvin Ford on tape, men who were raised
from the dead. I'm waiting for my chance.
Be open to the possibility. When you are presented with an opportunity to raise the dead, seek the
Lord for his mind in the matter. Pray as He directs [in some cases it takes a long time], do as he
instructs and, of course, give Him all the Glory
Here are some reports to keep you open to the possibility; and some examples to follow.
These testimonies have been collected by Richard M. Riss and others over the past few years and
are here presented as an encouragement to the Body of Christ.
How to Raise the Dead

The following message is from Dr. Horace S. Ward, Senior Pastor of Maranatha Church of God in
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. He was one of the founders of the Society for Pentecostal Studies and
was the first Executive Secretary of that organization.
Richard M. Riss RRISS@DREW.EDU
Date: 05-May-1997
TO: Richard M. Riss
Subject: Re: Resurrections from the Dead
Richard, here are two testimonies for your files on verified resurrections.
The first is very precious to me, because it is the true story of my wife, Marilyn, as often told by her
mother, the late Mrs. Arthur C. Eastham, a dedicated Christian and faithful prayer warrior. She lived
with us during the last four years of her life, and during that time she graciously provided me with the
written testimony which follows. At that time I served as Assistant General Director of Education for
the Church of God and was able to locate the late Reverend and Mrs. Buford Alford to get their
recollections of the event. The Alfords were retired and no longer in active ministry, but they
remembered this incident well. By telephone they both confirmed the accuracy of this testimony. They
told me that they wrote their testimony of this resurrection and sent it to the Church of God Evangel for
publication, but the editor chose not to print it because he felt that his readers would find such a story
unbelievable. I find his response unbelievable.
TESTIMONY OF MRS. A. C. EASTHAM
"Dear Christian Friends, or All Who May Be Concerned: "I just want to greet you in the name of the
Lord and tell you what Jesus did for my daughter, Marilyn Eastham Ward (Mrs. Horace S. Ward). She
was almost 2 1/2 years old. We were living at Coffeyville, Kansas, at that time. My husband was
pastoring a church there and also working as a railroad engineer.
"On this certain day in December, near Christmas, I took her in the car to the round house to pick up
her father. As we came back into the house, I was carrying Marilyn and I noticed that she was starting
to draw back and that her eyes were set. I called my husband, who had gone into the kitchen, and told
him that something was wrong with Marilyn--that she was unconscious.
"We were not having services that night and we knew that we needed help, so we got into the car and
took her to the home of the Reverend and Mrs. Buford Alford, pastor of the Church of God there. We
had only gone a few blocks when she became limp and didn't breath anymore. She was dead, but we
went on, praying as we went.
"The Alfords lived in the parsonage and the church lights were not on yet. It was too early. We stopped
at the house and ran in, without even ringing the doorbell. They were eating supper, but I just ran in
dragging a blanket I had for Marilyn, sat on the divan, and said, 'Please come pray for my baby.' They
got up from the table immediately and started to pray.
"Sister Alford said, 'Honey, she is already dead.'
"I said, 'I don't care. Just pray.' I kept on praying. We all did. As people came to the church, they would
come on over to the parsonage and help us pray.
"At different times people would try to take her out of my arms because she was dead, but I held her
tight and wouldn't turn her loose. They even called the ambulance, but I still wouldn't turn her loose. I
knew if I did, we would lose the victory. I knew if we held on, God would give her back, because I had
prayed for God to give me both of my children, and I dedicated them to Him before they were born. I
said, 'God, use them for your glory,' and I meant it with all of my heart. I knew that she hadn't had a
chance yet. I know it doesn't always work like that, but I knew in my heart, that night, that if we kept
praying and held on He would deliver. And he did.
"I kept my eyes closed and kept praying. It's easier to stay in the channel of prayer if you don't see
what is going on around you. I knew God could do it, so we just kept holding on to God. Yet, she didn't
breath or move.
"Finally I felt her little foot move. We began to praise God, praising Him from the depths of our hearts.
Soon she drew a deep breath and began to move her hands. I said, 'God, if you will just let her open
her eyes now,' and she did and tried to put her fingers in her mouth. Sister Alford brought her some
water, but her jaws were locked. She couldn't drink, so she gave her some with a spoon.
"Marilyn didn't seem to know or recognize anyone, but we praised the Lord for what He had done. It
was now 10:00 p.m. She had been dead for 4 hours and 10 minutes. There had been no church
service, but it was estimated that about 150 people had been to the parsonage and had seen what
happened, including one infidel, who only came to bring his wife. He went away a believer in God.
"God was so real--so much power was there in our midst--no one could resist it.
"On our way home as we drove through the main part of town, Marilyn raised up and noticed the
Christmas lights and decorations. Her mind just seemed to snap back to normal, instantly. Whatever it
was, she has never had another attack, since or before that time. She has an IQ that is well above
average. That is what God has done and still can do if we just let Him, and I praise God from the
depths of my heart for His great love."
Signed,
Mrs. A. C. Eastham
The second is a report that has blessed me for many years. It came from a secondary source, but
someone on your e-mail list may have a copy of the original book by Charles A. Blanchard. I give it to
you as it appears in the book by Evangelist John R. Rice.
TESTIMONY OF DR. CHARLES A BLANCHARD
"Dr. Charles A. Blanchard, late president of Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois, is the author of a
blessed book, 'Getting Things from God,' a book on prayer. The book is published by The Moody
Press, of Chicago. Dr. Blanchard gives in his book the remarkable story of a railroad engineer raised
from the dead in answer to his wife's prayer. Dr. Blanchard says:
"A Railroad Engineer Testifies
"I was a few weeks ago in the Eighth Avenue Mission in New York. On the platform by me sat a
gentleman, to whom I was introduced, but whom I had never before seen. When the meeting had
progressed for an hour or so, Miss Wray, the superintendent, called upon him for a testimony. He
said: "Friends, about two and a half or three years ago I was in the hospital in Philadelphia. I was an
engineer on the Pennsylvania Lines, and although I had a praying wife, I had all my life been a sinful
man. At this time I was very ill. I became greatly wasted. I weighed less than one hundred pounds.
Finally the doctor who was attending me said to my wife that I was dead, but she said: 'No, he is not
dead. He cannot be dead. I have prayed for him for twenty-seven years and God has promised me
that he should be saved. Do you think God would let him die now after I have prayed twenty-seven
years and God has promised me that he should be saved. Do you think God would let him die now
after I have prayed for him for twenty-seven years and God has promised, and he is not saved?' '
Well,' the doctor replied, 'I do not know anything about that, but I know that he is dead.' And the screen
was drawn around cot, which in the hospital separates between the living and the dead.
"To satisfy my wife, other physicians were brought, one after another, until seven were about the cot,
and each one of them as he came up and made the examination confirmed the testimony of all who
had preceded. The seven doctors said that I was dead. Meanwhile my wife was kneeling by the side
of my cot, insisting that I was not dead--that if I were dead God would bring me back, for He had
promised her that I should be saved and I was not yet saved. By and by her knees began to pain her,
kneeling on the hard hospital floor. She asked the nurse for a pillow and the nurse brought her a pillow
upon which she kneeled. One hour, two hours, three hours passed. The screen still stood by the cot. I
was lying there still, apparently dead. Four hours, five hours, six hours, seven hours, thirteen hours
passed, and all this while my wife was kneeling by the cot-side, and when people remonstrated and
wished her to go away she said: 'No, he has to be saved. God will bring him back if he is dead. He is
not dead. He cannot die until he is saved.'
"'At the end of thirteen hours I opened my eyes, and she said: 'What do you wish, my dear?' And I
said: 'I wish to go home,' and she said: 'You shall go home.' But when she proposed it, the doctors
raised their hands in horror. They said, 'Why, it will kill him. It will be suicide.' She said: 'You have had
your turn. You said he was dead already. I am going to take him home.'
"'I weigh now 246 pounds. I still run a fast train on the Pennsylvania Lines. I have been out to
Minneapolis on a little vacation, telling men what Jesus can do, and I am glad to tell you what Jesus
can do."'
"Dr. Blanchard was a great educator, a man of national prominence, a scholar, as well as a devout
Christian. It was not hard for him to believe that God had answered the prayer of a wife for her
unsaved husband, and that he was brought back in order that he might be saved. And if it is hard for
you to believe, then I ask you in the words of Paul the apostle, 'Why should it be thought a thing
incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?' (Acts 26: 8).
"If such an occurrence is rare, then it is equally rare that a woman should pray like that and believe
God. God still answers prayer for those who trust Him." (John R. Rice, "Prayer--Asking and
Receiving," Wheaton, IL: Sword of the Lord Publishers, 1942, pp. 269, 270.)
The book by John R. Rice is one of the best I ever read on prayer. Although he was a fundamentalist,
Baptist evangelist, he yielded no ground to the idea that the days of miracles had passed. Some of
his best chapters are titled: "Big Prayers to an Almighty God," "Does God Work Miracles Today?"
and "Miracles Today, Cont'd."
Richard, thanks again for all you are doing to keep the body of Christ aware of the current works of
Christ. May God bless you richly.

Subject: Myanmar Resurrection 03-May-1997

According to the Swedish Christian paper Magazinet the Pakistani/Swedish evangelist Christopher
Alam visited Word of Life, Uppsala last week and told following incredible story from Myanmar
(Burma).
A monk had been sick and died but before the cremation the man resurrected and begun to witness
about a vison from heaven and hell.
He says: Then I died I met a man in white clothes and it was Jesus. He showed me the heaven and the
hell.
The first man I saw in hell was Buddha. Jesus took the monk to the side and said: I am sending you to
your own people and you shall tell them that they must repent and turn away from their sins and turn to
me, I am the only way to God. Time is short, I soon will return to earth.
After this the monk has become very bold, the authorities arrests him time after time but many over all
Burma have been saved as a result of the testimony from the resurrected monk

Subject: World Missions Update - C. Peter Wagner I would like to summarize portions of three
messages delivered by Peter Wagner of the Fuller School of World Missions. His area of specialty is
church growth. These messages were given at the Living Way Christian Fellowship in Greensboro,
North Carolina, on April 25 and 26, 1997. Because they were such a blessing and encouragement to
me, I want to pass that on to others. I am writing from my notes and memory; if I misrepresent Peter in
any way, I apologize in advance.
Peter proclaimed that we are ALREADY living in a time of a greater outpouring of God's Spirit than
Pentecost. The reason that we in America don't realize that is that most of the activity is in other parts
of the world, notably the third world. Some facts:
We are having a greater HARVEST than ever before.
* 140,000 people a DAY are coming to the Lord. This is 46 times the number that believed on the day
of Pentecost. In China, a country officially closed to the Gospel, over 20,000 a DAY are turning to the
Lord. In the Fungao area of the Hunan province of China, over 90% of the people are Christians.
Significant mass conversions are happening in Hindu and Buddhist countries.
* Over the last 10 years, more people have become Christians than in all of church history prior to that.
We are having more MIRACLES than ever before.
Again, this is happening more in the third world than the western world. The messages contained
many inspiring examples. My favorite:
Wagner became aware of an African pastor who pastors a church numbering 70,000, which has
spawned FIVE THOUSAND other churches. Since his specialty is church growth, he invited this
pastor to California to speak to the faculty and students at Fuller.
When asked how his church had achieved such phenomenal growth, the pastor replied to the effect
that "miracles help a lot". As an example, one of the satellite churches of the "Deeper Live Bible
Church" was having its Thursday night meeting. (On Sundays, the churches focus on Bible teaching;
on Thursday nights, they pray for the sick).
During prayer for the sick, the pastor became burdened for the friends and relatives of those present
who were too sick to come to the meeting. He asked those who had very sick friends and relatives to
hold up their handkerchiefs while he prayed. (By the way, there is a Biblical precedent for this: Paul in
Ephesus). They were then instructed to take those handkerchiefs home and lay them on the sick
people, proclaiming them healed in the name of Jesus.
Unknown to the pastor, there was a Moslem man present who was headman of his village. This man
had never been in a Christian church before. He could not think of any friends or relatives who were
sick; however, not wanting to miss a blessing, he held up his handkerchief anyway.
The headman went home. Some time later a couple in his village came to him, saying that their 9
year-old daughter had died. The headman came to where the body had been washed and laid out for
burial, and was comforting the mourners. Then he remembered the handkerchief, and went back to
his house to retrieve it.
When the headman laid the handkerchief on the girl, and proclaimed her healed in the name of Jesus
as he had been instructed, she came back to life! The elders of the village had a meeting and
decided that even though this village had been Moslem for hundreds of years, they would now convert
to Christianity. Small wonder!
This is only one of many exciting stories of God showing his glory to folks traditionally closed to the
gospel, resulting in their conversion. The efforts over the past 5 years of focusing prayer on the "10/40
window" are showing positive results.
Another exciting fact: the church is now TRULY GLOBAL in scope.
The third world is now sending out more missionaries than the western world. Some of the top
leadership in the church is coming from the third world.

Subject: Yay God! 26-Mar-1997

Dear Richard,
This was shared from the pulpit last Wednesday night at church (3/19/97) about an event that had
happened just prior to that.
I had been given a rather disturbing vision by the Lord. I didn't doubt His ability at all, but I was in
wonderment.
Here is the vision: I'm driving down a road and there is an accident. A man lay on the side of the road,
lifeless. I stop my car, go to him, put one hand on his head, and one on his heart, pray for his life in the
name of Jesus, and wham! he comes to life.
The Lord gave me this a couple months ago. He gave it to me again two weeks ago, the exact same
vision.
Last Monday night, on my way home from work, I witnessed a boy named Jarrod Hayes get struck by
a car as he ran out from behind a city bus. It was the most horrific noise and sight I have ever seen.
The car was doing at least 40 mph. You can imagine how his body cartwheeled like a rag doll being
thrown across a room. I said, "Oh Jesus!" jumped out of my truck and ran to him, and here was the
vision: A boy laying lifeless on the side of the road.
I did as the Lord had had me do in the vision, and wham! his eyes popped open and the Lord said,
"He will be OK!" Oh my God!
Then he sent me to others who were involved to comfort them and tell them he would be OK, including
the driver of the car, and his mother. I was to touch and hold them, and comfort them, and pray for a
peace in their lives.
After Jarrod came back, the Lord knew just what to do to keep him calmed until the medics got there,
and he used me for that too. The police on the scene just threw me a blanket, and left me alone with
him. He is scheduled for release from the hospital tomorrow, one week from the date of the accident.
I spoke with Jarrod's mom, and she said it was a miracle he lived, and that there was no head trauma.
I said, "I know!"

Subject: Modern-day resurrections from the dead
Dear brother Riss,
From a newsgroup I subscribe to I gathered you are collecting documented accounts of modern-day
resurrections from the dead. I "just" happened to be reading one of your reports last night.
My wife and I are missionaries here in Lyon, France working in a pioneer church planting situation
together with a Brazilian missionary and a family from the UK.
This morning in our service Daniel dos Santos, a missionary from the Assemblies of God in Brazil
with 23 years of experience on the mission field as a healing evangelist shared with us. In August
1993 he was preaching in a church in Rumania, in a village called Soimos, near the city of Arad. It
was an evangelistic service where many people had come to receive healing from the Lord. The
church was packed and a non-Christian lady called Maria, who was suffering from heart problems,
and who had come to the service with her brother to be healed, became unwell because of the heat.
She left the service and went into a side room. There she suffered a stroke and died because of a
heart failure. The pastor was informed and then interrupted Daniel who was preaching. The pastor told
the choir to start some chorus while he took Daniel to the side room and showed him the dead body.
The pastor was very discouraged and wanted to finish the service. He felt the service had, in a way,
failed as this lady had died. Daniel said that he then felt faith rise up in him and the Holy Spirit telling
him to pray for this lady to be raised from the dead. By now she had been dead for 30 minutes; all
resuscitation attempts had been given up 20 minutes after she had died. He commanded the Spirit of
Life to come (or go back) into her. Immediately this lady started breathing again and came back to life
again. When the pastor went back into the service to share what had happened the church broke out
in praise to the Lord. Many were healed and became Christians during the service. The lady later
testified that she had felt her spirit leave her body and then later on return again. She wasn't a
Christian before but became one through this experience of the resurrection power of our Lord. She
was also completely healed of the heart problems. Glory to God!
Daniel's father, who is in charge of a subdivision of the Assemblies of God in Brazil, being
responsible for some 100,000 people, went to Rumania to meet this lady and saw her death
certificate. Daniel is visiting us at the moment, and he and his family will be joining our church plant in
June as his work in building up churches and leaders in Rumania has finished. The Lord called him in
a dream to come to France to continue his work here.
If there is anything else you would like to know, do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours in Christ,

Hi Richard,
I have been listening to a tape of a fairly recent (I think) meeting with Steve Phillips at Toronto. God
had only then given him permission to share what follows. He describes an event that took place a few
years back in Port Authority(?) New York (known locally as "hell on earth", because of its astronomical
crime rate). Steve and two others came across a man lying on the pavement who had no vital signs of
life (a policeman had kicked the man just before, and the body had moved like a piece of wood).
Steve had felt an intense compassion for this man, and had wept profusely at this act, beseeching
God to add extra years to his life. They prayed for this man and he recovered. The man described
being in a place where it was getting progressively darker and colder, but suddenly heard someone
weeping and a voice he couldn't understand (Steve had been praying in tongues!) then being sucked
by a wind back into his body. He promised them that he would get his life sorted out with God (Times
Square, David Wilkerson's church being just across the way). They had had no further feedback on
this until, at the end of the meeting, Steve was told by someone from that church that this man had
given his life to Christ and was a member of the church. Needless to say, Steve was delighted. These
are only the sketchiest details and no doubt more can be got from either Steve, or David Wilkerson's
organisation. Blessings! Paul

More on Resurrections
Greetings Richard,
We had in our home over 2 years ago a brother by the name of Thomas Baloyi. He told us of over 6
people that he had prayed for and seen raised from the dead. Ian MaCormick (sp?) of New Zealand
was raised from the dead. I met him at Metro Vineyard in '95. Also Betty Malz, whose book MY
GLIMPSE OF ETERNITY, details her resurrection form the dead. She was clinically dead for over 28
minutes. Also, I had a woman here in Saint Louis that was raised from the dead, come and share her
testimony in our home meeting. She was dead for 6 hours. She told us of a wonderful experience that
she had in heaven! Glory be to Yahweh!In Him

Dear Richard I want to respond to Resurrections
I am working in Holland and are originally from South Africa there I attended the Hatfield Baptist
Church now the Hatfield Christian Centre.
I remember meeting a man there who had his own death certificate sight by a doctor from a hospital in
his pocket. I think his name was "Heinrich". He was at a time travelling with brother. From the FGBMA
to the a town in the northern part of Transvaal when he had a heart attack in the car. The drove him to
a hospital where after a few minutes of trying to re-animate him, he died. The doctor and nurse pulled
a sheet over his head and his co-passengers phoned ahead to their appointment explaining the
situation.
After a time, ( and this is where I am not sure how the story went if it was much later or not) they
returned with some other brothers from the FGBMA see his body and to thank the Lord for his life.
They started worshipping the Lord and singing songs in the room surrounding the corpse when all of a
sudden the nurse started to scream and then they saw a movement under the sheet and he sat up
straight. They kept him in the hospital for observation for another day and could not find any damage
to his heart afterwards. While when he came in they had him immediately linked to a monitor. I think
you can get a confirmation on this story from Hatfield or from the FGBMA in South Africa .
The second story is from Zululand in South Africa. A revival broke out there that is in 1960 and it is still
going. A book was published about this revival in 1975 about this revival by Dr. Kurt E. Koch {a
German well known for his books Christian Counseling and Occultism} "Gott unter den Zulus" This
book was also published in Afrikaans and in Dutch. In the Dutch version p. 163 to 169 he describes
various resurrections from the dead and also a conversation between himself and a Lydia from the
place Siza Bantu who was raised from the dead. In the later years more resurrection took place there
in the heartland of Zululand Natal. This was also broadcasting by a Dutch Christian TV Station in the
Netherlands about 2 years ago with a interview with a lady who was raised from the dead in Zululand. I
can see if I can obtain information if it was about the same lady.

Hello Richard,
Our church (North Plymouth Community Church, UK) was recently asked (February 1997) to pray for a
toddler, 2 years of age who was very poorly in hospital. Apparently, as it was reported to us, this child
was clinically dead for a short time prior to recovering which greatly amazed the Doctors and medical
staff. The mother is convinced that the recovery, healing and life of her child is totally due to an answer
to prayer and at the end of February brought the completely well child along to our Sunday morning
worship. Thank you Lord!

In 1995, I was ministering in an African church in London. One day, while driving my wife and me from
the hotel to the church, one of the African pastors gave us a testimony about raising the dead. He said
that one day he and his wife saw their two year old son dart out into London traffic. As they watched,
horrified, a car struck the child. They ran to him, and someone called emergency medical help. The
emergency attendants told the pastor his son was dead. The pastor stood and preached the Gospel
to the gathered crowd. Then, to confirm the word preached, he prayed for, his child and God raised
the child from the dead. I cannot remember the pastor's name, but he was trained through Centre for

Subject: RE: Resurrections
Paul, thanks for your two notes. As far as Mel Tari is concerned, the only thing I know about the
incident to which you alluded is that, while I was a student at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in
Deerfield, Illinois, John Woodbridge mentioned that it had come out that the Indonesian Revival was a
fraud. He did not provide any of the details as to how this had come out, but the claim that the
Indonesian Revival was a fraud sounded very suspect to me, especially since I had read what the
critics had said in their attempts to try to discredit it, and even the material that they had written
against its genuineness seemed to me to confirm its authenticity, even though that was not their
objective. For example, the book by George W. Peters, INDONESIA REVIVAL (Zondervan, 1973),
considers the claims of so many different individuals with respect to resurrections of the dead--one
after another--that I have a tough time believing that nothing happened. He even has photographs of
some witnesses on p. 81 of the book, with the following captions: "Man who claims to have raised two
persons from the dead," and "Man who claims to have been raised from the dead." Then he writes on
pp. 80ff., "I visited a man who is known in the community as having been raised from the dead. I met a
woman who reported that her infant daughter of four months had been raised. I talked to the woman
who was said to be responsible for having brought back to life two people, and to the man who
claimed to have been instrumental in raising two people from the dead, a boy of twelve and a man
forty to forty-five years old. In my questioning, I kept the sentiments of the people in mind. Their
absolutist beliefs will not respond to questions of doubt. I was also aware of the fact that their word for
death may mean unconsciousness, coma, or actual death. I also knew of their traditional belief in the
journey of the soul after death from the body to the land of the ancestors. . . . Those who claimed to
have experienced resuscitation and immediate restoration were people who had died suddenly.
Several children who had died after suffering prolonged illnesses had more gradual restorations. The
mother whose infant daughter was raised was quite sure that her soul had not left her body, for she
had been dead only about half an hour. An older man was able to describe his condition after dying.
While dead he had promised God that if he could ever live again he would confess his sins and pay
back the money that he had stolen from an evangelist. He was sure that this theft had caused his
sudden death, and so was the evangelist who brought him back to life. Thus the stories went. Two
younger boys, one four and another eight, were not able to recount their experiences while dead.
However, they were sure that they had not yet left the earth. I shall leave any judgments about these
miracles to the reader. I went away satisfied that according to their usage of the word death, and their
concept of death, they had experienced resuscitation. According to my concept of death, no such
miracles happened." George W. Peters may be entitled to his opinion, but I cannot help but wonder if
his judgement was not being clouded by his own preconception that, by definition, resurrections are
simply impossible. I would term this "the will not to believe." His arguments are actually the same sorts
of arguments that Harry Emerson Fosdick used in the 1920s with respect to the miracles recorded in
the Bible. According to Fosdick, people in the first century thought in Biblical categories, and
therefore wrote assuming that miracles of this kind could happen, but we in the twentieth century know
better. To my own way of thinking, this is nonsense. When certain things happen, they have
consequences. We must have some way of explaining the visible consequences of a historical event,
which, according to eyewitnesses, was a miracle. Alternative hypotheses are fraught with all kinds of
difficulties, such that suddenly, with the alternative explanation, there is a need for long, circuitous
explanations for things that no longer fit together, whereas the whole thing is very easy to explain and
quite straightforward if only we were to believe the witnesses to the events.

Hi, Richard, (thanks for all the good work on this list!) After reading all these examples of
resurrections, I thought I would share with you again the "remote" restoration of my Aunt. (I think I
shared this with you near the beginning of the new-wine list).
While asleep in my college dorm room I had a dream that my Aunt Shelia Samples had died. In the
dream I traveled to the funeral home and went in, no one else was around. Her body was in a casket in
the back room. (it was not time for her viewing yet). As I stood and looked at her, she looked waxy,
cold, and strange with all that caked make-up on. The Lord told me very clearly to get into the casket
and lay down and breathe on her. At first I told the Lord, "No way! What if someone comes in and
thinks I'm nuts?" and again, He clearly instructed me to do it. The second time I was obedient (but I
can still recall the feeling of not wanting to be found out). I climbed in, lay down and breathed on her. I
am not sure I got out much more than "Lord Jesus..." by the way of praying for her. She started to stir,
and I jumped out of that casket double quick! She sat up and with her arms upraised, began praising
the Lord in a loud voice. At that point I woke up. It was about 4 in the morning if I recall correctly. I had
an absolute certainty that my aunt needed intercession immediately. I climbed out of bed and prayed
for her for 2 hours or so. The sun started to come up around 6 or so, and I felt a peace finally, and went
back to bed. Shortly thereafter, my mother called me and told me that my Aunt had attempted suicide
the night before, and at one point in the night was actually dead. They had already told the family she
was dead, and since I wasn't there I am not sure what happened in the ER, but she was revived and
around 6 am turned the corner out of the danger zone. I don't know if this counts as a
resurrection/restoration or not, but I definitely believe it still happens! Every good and perfect gift is
from the LORD!

Subject: Resurrections from the Dead
Dear Richard,
Greetings once again. In my continuing travels for our missions work here at Elim I have experienced
this miracle on one occasion. I was traveling to a meeting in Kitchener, Ontario when I was the first to
arrive at the scene of a bad motorcycle wreck on the 405. The victim was laying in the right lane going
through convulsions, with blood running out of his ears, etc. I later found out he had been traveling
90mph when he crashed. I told him I was a minister and that all we could do was pray. My assistant
and I laid hands on him and within just a few minutes, he had revived and was trying to get up. A
doctor soon arrived and took over treatment, and when I left a half hour later he was sitting up in the
ambulance talking.
Though there is no way to prove it was an actual resurrection, but I've been around enough accidents
to know this guy was on his way out. God saved him, but I have never been able to follow up on it. If
you ever hear of any similar reports from your friends in Canada, I would be interested. I'm sure there
must be some records of this accident somewhere as there were hundreds of people at the scene by
the time I left.
Sincerely in Christ,

Hello Richard,
Our church (North Plymouth Community Church, UK) was recently asked (February 1997) to pray for a
toddler, 2 years of age who was very poorly [off] in [a] hospital. Apparently, as it was reported to us,
this child was clinically dead for a short time prior to recovering which greatly amazed the Doctors and
medical staff. The mother is convinced that the recovery, healing and life of her child is totally due to
an answer to prayer and at the end of February brought the completely well child along to our Sunday
morning worship. Thank you Lord!
kind regards,

Dear Richard,
I've just completed a paper on an obscure Baptist Evangelist in South Africa who ministered until
1977. In a biography about his life there is reference to a raising from the dead through his ministry in
the late 1940's. The woman raised from 17 years old. My guess is that there would further
documentation of this miracle available through Baptist and Newspaper sources to support this
assertion. The name of the evangelist is William Duma. Duma was also known by the Billy Graham
Associaton and attending the 1966 World Congress on Evangelism in Berlin.

Dear Richard,
David Pytches has an excellent chapter entitled "Raising the Dead" in: _Spiritual Gifts in the Local
Church_ (Minneapolis, MN: Bethany House, 1985), 227-40.
He offers an solid biblical treatment of the subject and then gives an example from Augustine of Hippo
(231-32) followed by ten modern day citations (232-39). These include the case of Jean Darnell's
mother.

Subject: Up from the dead
Hi Richard,
I have a friend in Papua New Guinea whom the Lord has used to raise the dead on two occasions.
His name is Suckling Tamanabae and he's from the Oro province. He is a powerful evangelist
ascension gift ministry. He comes down to Australia from time to time and I've heard him tell the story
of how he was used to raise the dead when this woman was dead and sticking. Another Bible school
graduate that I taught told of how he had been used to raise the dead after the husband of the dead
woman had split her head open with an axe. After she was 'revived' he sewed her wound up with a
bag needle! The husband and a number of others got saved as a result! As far as I know these
incidents have been authenticated by reliable people.

GOD RAISED HER FROM THE DEAD IN WELEGA
My name is Haptamu and I live in southern Ethiopia, Lekant and run Rhema church some 600
kilometres from Addis. We had heard that one of our brothers sister was sick. When we reached the
village she had died. (This was within the last six months) We asked to be shown the body. We went
to where she lay and began to pray for her. All the people around on seeing us praying loudly began to
scream and fell down manifesting demons, for there is much witchcraft practiced in these parts. We
had to stop praying and deliver the people from these demons. When they were all cast out we
returned to the business of praying for this women. After praying we laid hands on her and her life
returned and she sat up and we fed her some food for she was hungry , she was healed and delivered
praise God!

Subject: Re: Resurrection
Bro. Richard, I saw the E-mail request and your response on the validity of resurrections in our day. It
brought to mind the personal testimony of a man who was a professor of Russian at Oral Roberts
University during my years there (early and mid-'70s).
You probably know of him--Dr. Bill Basansky. He was born and raised in Russia. His mother was a
godly woman. As I recall, he was drowned as a youth. His body was laid out on his family's kitchen
table, presumably so he could be prepared for burial. Yet his mother refused to give him up--I believe
she had dedicated him to the Lord at birth. The upshot of it all was that he was miraculously raised
from the dead after a significant time has passed (I say this because people who drown in extremely
cold water sometimes go into a form of hibernation and have been known to revive with no ill effects
long after the conventional time for brain death).
Today Dr. Basansky has a powerful ministry--I believe in Florida--which abounds in healings and
miracles. He was legendary at ORU for refusing to continue his classes if even one of his students
was sick. He would gather his students together and they would pray until healing came. Only then
would he proceed with the instruction in Russian. (His classes were uncommonly healthy and very well
versed in Russian. . .)
I am currently verifying the facts of a recent miraculous resurrection of a very prominent figure in
Christian music who was raised from the dead after being declared dead hours before by a team of
heart surgeons in a major city. As soon as I have permission and verified information on this case
from the person and his family, I will pass it on. I plan to include this in the new issue of the "Destiny
Image Digest" magazine if approvals come through.
To His glory alone,

Pastor Max Wiltshire who ministers as an evangelist in the outback of Australia to the Australian
Aboriginal people has seen several people (7 or 8 I think) raised from the dead in the last 3 or 4
years.
I saw Max at the Ken Gott meetings held here in Adelaide three weeks ago. There is a very significant
move of the Holy Spirit in the remote Aboriginal communities. EG: At Halls Gap there were about 600
people in the local community. During the crusade about 400 were saved!! Praise God!!! This
crusade was held either late last year or early this year. (I did not get the exact dates).
I have a contact for Max via Evangelist Tim Hall. Tim is away in Melbourne Australia holding a series
of revival meetings at Richmond Temple (AOG) in Melbourne. This is the 4th week of the crusade and
has registered 400 1st time salvations with a similar number again responding to altar calls. I spoke
with Tim last Tuesday and he was sharing about many healings as well. These included medically
confirmed healing of cancer, arthritis, and other serious problems. PTL!!! Tim is due back in Adelaide
next week and I will have some time with him then. I will get more details on Max at that time.

Thanks for forwarding the article on resurrections from the dead. You might also want to add to your
list the account in Jack Deere's book Surprised by the Power of the Spirit, Zondervan, 1993 (pg.203-
206). Also Eridard Mukasa, who is a powerfully gifted preacher from Uganda and president of People
of Destiny Evangelical Intl. Fdn., says he has seen a number of people raised from the dead back in
Africa - although none here in the USA - at least yet :-).
Thanks and God bless your work. It's a great help!

Dear Richard;
Again I am greatly blessed by your continued reports of revival spreading around the world. I have just
read your post on resurrections from the dead and add a loud Hallelujah! to your report. Soon there
will be so many reported and validated resurrections that even the most skeptical will be hard pressed
to disagree.
In the case of the child that Wilma prayed for and that I witnessed, there is no doubt in our mind of
what happened, God stepped in and brought this baby back to life. And not only that, but He restored
all injured and damaged organs and flesh so that all the glory goes to the Lord Jesus.
Keep up the good work for the Kingdom brother. Give our greetings to Kathryn.

We had a bonafide resurrection (restoration) to life here in 1989. The infant son of our children's
minister died of lung congestion, and was dead for 90 minutes. The child was in a hospital trauma
room, and the physician came into the waiting room where the mother, father, another of our pastors
and I were waiting, and informed us the child was dead: lungs collapsed, no self-generated heartbeat,
etc. As the mother, other pastor and I prayed, the father went into the trauma room. We had a powerful
release of faith to command the mountain of death to be removed. Meanwhile, unknown to us, the
father was laying hands on the child, and asking Jesus to restore the boy. The father then came back
into the waiting room with the rest of us. Within in a minute, the trauma room doctor came into the
room and told us that for reasons he didn't understand, the child's heart was beating again. The length
of time the child was dead caused some physical symptoms to remain. But the child is alive to this
day. His name is Timothy Williams. His dad is Brandon Williams, pastor of Northside Baptist Church,
Arlington, Texas.

It is a matter of historical record that resurrections from the dead accompanied the ministries of Smith
Wigglesworth (1859-1947), William Branham (1909-1965), and, more recently, David Hogan. On
Branham, see, for example, David Edwin Harrell, Jr., ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE (Bloomington:
Indiana University Press, 1975), pp. 35-36, according to which, "Branham's healing power became a
world-wide legend; there were continued reports that he raised the dead."
David Hogan ministers among Native Americans in Mexico, and he and his associates have
witnessed a large number of resurrections of the dead during the 1990s. David Hogan and his
colleagues have testified concerning these events in many places, including the Toronto Airport
Christian Fellowship. Also, some of the young people of Dr. J. Patrick Fiore's church, Christian Life
Center, in West Milford, New Jersey, have spent time in Mexico with David Hogan and know some of
the details of these events.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, one influential book among Pentecostals was Lura Johnson
Grubb's LIVING TO TELL OF DEATH (Memphis, TN: Voice of Faith Publishing Co., n.d.), in which the
author, who was the wife of a well-known pastor, Paul N. Grubb of Memphis, Tennessee, provided the
details of her own resurrection from physical death.
There were a number of incidences of resurrections of the dead in the island of Timor in Indonesia in
1965. One such incidence, in which a man was raised two days after his death, is described in
considerable detail in LIKE A MIGHTY WIND by Mel Tari (Carol Stream, Ill.: Creation House, 1971),
pp. 76-78. The stench of the dead man was almost more than could be borne by those standing
around him, who were singing songs of worship, praying for his resurrection. When he actually began
to move, the prayer team was initially frightened, but they were reassured when the dead man woke
up, looked around, and smiled, saying that Jesus had brought him back to life.
Several people have attempted to discredit the many reports of resurrections associated with the
Indonesia revival of 1965, but I find those attempts to be unconvincing. One such attempt was made
by George W. Peters in INDONESIA REVIVAL: FOCUS ON TIMOR (Zondervan, 1973), pp. 80-84.
He says that in one case, an infant daughter "had been dead only about half an hour," as if this were a
short amount of time, but it would seem to me that he was exercising undue skepticism, since lack of
oxygen for more than just a few minutes would normally cause irreparable damage to the brain and
certain death. The sheer number of testimonies to similar incidents that he attempts to refute is also
an indication to me that genuine resurrections must have taken place there at that time.
I have heard from many people about a more recent occurrence of a resurrection from the dead which
took place in Cambodia in 1994. One of them, Tom Ford, of Dallas, Texas, reported on October 10,
1994, that he had just returned from a two-week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia and that, "in
Cambodia, we were hosted by Sophal Ung, the pastor of a church sponsored by the Global Network.
The Lord is doing great things through his ministry there.
They've seen lots of miracles too, blind eyes opened, deaf healed, demons cast out, and the dead
raised. There was a man that died of a heart attack and was dead nine hours. They took up boards
from the floor of his house to have a coffin made. The Buddhist priest was going to come pick up the
body the next day. His wife had been saved about two weeks and wouldn't give up. She and several
Christians prayed for hours until midnight. The others gave up and went home, but she kept on. At
4:30 am the husband sat up [and] said, 'give me something to eat.' He went out the next day and the
people of the village thought he was a ghost. People came from miles around to see the man that was
raised up. The man and his wife now have a church in their house. I have the testimony on videotape
also." At the CATCH THE FIRE conference in Toronto in October of 1994, some people from
Cambodia, Monee Mon and Chen Mau, co-workers with Sophal and Deborah Ung, corroborated this
story. At the same conference, James Ryle told my wife and me that he had seen a videotape in which
Sophal Ung described these events.
In 1974, I attended the Christian Collegiate Conference at Temple University in Philadelphia. It was a
conference for College Students, and there was an unusual diversity of speakers, including John
Poole, who at that time was pastor of a church in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and Cornelius Van Til, the
great Christian Apologist who taught at Westminster Theological Seminary. Van Til tried to assert that
miracles do not happen in the present day, but some of the people who were attending the conference
were excited about an event that they said had taken place recently at Deliverance Evangelistic, a
black church in downtown Philadelphia. According to these people, they had been to that church and
spoken with several black people who had witnessed a resurrection from the dead which had taken
place within the church building there during a church service.
In 1987-1988, my wife and I were living in Plano, Texas, where we were attending Fountain-Gate
Church, pastored by Fuchsia Pickett. In one of her sermons, she alluded to an incident that had taken
place a number of years previously, in which a woman had died during one of Dr. Pickett's church
services, and had been raised from the dead. That the woman had died was confirmed by a
Registered Nurse in the congregation. The woman who was raised testified to having left her body,
and risen to the ceiling of the church and beyond, during the time that her body lay dead in the church.
More recently, Wilma Marshall, wife of Richard Marshall, senior pastor of Springs of Life Fellowship in
Sunnyvale, California, was used of God in the resurrection of a baby who had just been struck by an
automobile. This happened shortly after the Marshalls had returned from one of their trips to
Argentina, where they had received a greater anointing from God. When the Marshalls told us about
this incident, my wife Kathryn became highly motivated to go to Argentina, with the result that we did
go to Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata for the sixth Harvest Evangelism International Institute last year.
People have widely varying criteria for evaluating claims of this kind, but one should bear in mind that
it is always the case that it can only be eyewitness testimony that provides evidence for such claims,
just as was the case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If people choose not to believe
eyewitnesses, then they cannot be convinced, regardless of how many examples may be cited, or
witnesses produced. Nevertheless, I hope these examples will be of help to you. If you wish, I would be
glad to put you in touch with many of the people whose names I have mentioned here.

BABY RAISED FROM YHE DEAD For Edward Wande, A Repentant Heart Preceded A Powerful
Encounter With God Report by Pastor Min Tobitt
Late last year, on a roadside in Port Moresby, God demonstrated His power to a family when a little
two-year-old boy named Poiyo was brought back to life.
But for the full story we need to go back to 1993. Pastor Edward Wange was sent to Port Moresby to
pastor the Boroko (Moonlight) COC. He had successfully planted churches in the Simbu Province so
this was a new challenge - to pastor a city church. It wasn't always easy, and during 1996 he felt
restless and started to look for other ways to serve God. This had an unsettling effect on the church.
When in Australia to attend the International Conference in October and visit some other churches,
God spoke very strongly to Edward to go back and plant a strong vision in the church, and build a
militant church reaching out into the nation.
When he returned to the Boroko church, he did something that is not easy for a proud Highlander from
PNG. He stood in front of his church and repented of his past failures and of the pain he had brought
the church. He shared his new vision. This has brought a fresh and powerful release upon the church. It
was at this time that the miracle of Poiyo being raised from the dead occurred.
As Edward drove along this road he noticed this family group in tears. He felt constrained to see what
was wrong and found little Poiyo had died about 20 minutes earlier. When Edward asked if he could
pray for the child the mother said, "It is too late - he is dead already!" However, Edward insisted and
encouraged the family to believe for a miracle. As they stopped crying, Edward prayed in tongues.
Three minutes later, the child's heart started to beat again. He continued to pray, and four minutes
later the child opened his eyes and smiled at his mother.
Edward said: "The whole family were filled with joy and have all been added to the church after seeing
the power of God manifested in this way." But Edward also knows that this is just one result of a
repentant and open heart before God and His people. The Boroko church is still flourishing and it is
standing-room only each Sunday as they meet.?
ANOTHER RESURRECTION REPORTED Date: 21-Feb-1998

Jimmy Crompton
We have had chronic back problems healed as well as sugar diabetes and High blood pressure. A
retired business man named Ronny was diagnosed as having Glocoma by two seperate specialists.
He was told that he would be stone blind shortly. The Lord gave me a word of knowlege one sunday in
November about someone God was healing of Glocoma and two days later he was told by the doctor
that his eyes were healed. He has no trace of the disease any more.
Ronny went to visit his daughter in Johannesburg. One afternoon he heard screams from down the
road. It was a woman with her 2 yr old daughter who had just drowned. The mother had found her child
lying on the bottom of the pool. How long she was there no one knows but she was blue, had no pulls
and was definately not breathing. The mother was hysterical. Ronny took her and her child into his
daughters house and started to pray, while others called the paramedics. For 20 min he prayed and
then suddenly a spirit of anger came on him and he begun to shout at the spirit of death. Suddenly the
child rolled over, coughed up an incredible amount of water and begun to scream. The screams of the
mother and daughter helped the medics find the house. The came in and did every test in the book.
The child was given a clean bill of health. The girl was taken to hospital for they expected
complications but she is perfectly normal and well. No brain damage either. I beleive God raised her
from the dead.

Dear Mr. Riss:
A friend from Ohio forwarded some materials from you. I find them fascinating, because of my own
experiences. Grew up believing that "All things are Possible" with God. Witnessed one in my
childhood (actually I was about 13) when a wonderful lady died of a heart attack in our church service.
My father was the pastor. The Church wouldn't accept the death, though for nearly an hour it fought the
battle in prayer, when suddenly the lady (Katherine English) opened her eyes and for the next hour
walked back and forth in the altar area, hands uplifted, praising God and rejoicing for her life. The
church experienced great renewal because of this.
I have been declared dead three times, (once prayed back by my wife) but I won't discuss these.
I have had three resurrections (two in hospitals, verified by nurses and other medical witnesses) One
was an unsaved man, who came back, accepted Jesus, lived another month, then died again.
Another was an 80-year-old man in Rochester, Pennsylvania while I was hospitalized for kidney
stones. There were two other patients in the same room as I was in. (The year was 1974) Suddenly
the gentleman in the bed adjacent to mine suffered cardiac arrest and was 'coded'. Medical people
rushed in, worked with him for a total of about 15 minutes. The man's sister was there; they ushered
her out. She ran to my bed, and knowing I was a pastor, asked me to pray that his life would be
restored to him. I tried to convince her that with his age and as ill as he had been, we should let him
go. She refused, saying that he would want to stay. I asked if she would permit me to pray that IF HE
WOULD BE RAISED UP AND MADE WELL, that his life would come back. She agreed.
We could hear the medical people working, but giving up, saying that there was no vital signs at all. I
prayed. Suddenly the head nurse yelled, "Look! I have a pulse!" "His blood pressure is coming up",
another one said. The man's sister was ecstatic. (I was more in shock!) The gentleman was restored
to health and in about ten days was sent home. I pastored in the area for another three years and he
still was living and enjoying life. (I have told this only about three times. I think I had little to do, the
WOMAN's faith caused it to happen.)
The latest one was in my present pastorate. A good friend came to visit me from Michigan, and
became dreadfully sick with keto-acidosis (a result of out- of-sight blood sugar count and diabetes) I
was called to intensive care because he was dying. I took my wife, my youth pastor, and an Intensive
Care Nurse Specialist with me. We watched his life leave him, and he lost all consciousness, as well
as all vital signs. Respiration was gone. We asked the Lord to restore his life (as he was only 48 and
we felt too young to go). In approximately 2 - 3 minutes. He coughed, and moved. Immediately
conscious. Was released from hospital in another two days. (His keto- acidosis condition was
INSTANTLY healed).
Do I believe? No. I KNOW!!!
This is a testimony to the Grace and Power of God. No praise to me or any other person. (By the way,
the friend in the last story, had a marvelous, life-changing encounter with the Lord during the
experience. His story changed my life as well.)

Subject: Raised From the Dead
Dear Richard,
A couple of months ago we had a pastor from Southern Mexico come to our church and speak, his
name is David Hogan. Listening to the man speak was like sitting at the feet of one of the original
disciples. They have 216 resurrections from the dead in their ministry. His accounts of the miracles
were mind stretching to say the least. He walks in an area of faith that not many are willing to pay the
price to get. He had story after story (I think our pastor, Frank Damazio, asked him and David said
there were 1500 accounts of miracles) of signs and wonders and miracles that have taken place. If
you want someone, who today, has witnessed and walked down that road you MUST contact him. You
could contact Bible Temple's office at 503-255-2224 and ask for information on how to get in contact
with David Hogan. My mother in law came to one of the meetings we had with David and he just put
his scarf on her shoulder and her lungs opened up and she could breath better than she has in years
(she HAD terminal lung disease). She is doing so much better today that it is truly a miracle, she had
almost died the week before. I Don't want to build up a man but he has such a humble spirit and such
a reverence for the Lord; many times when he talked about Jesus he would go down on his knees. He
has an account of how they fasted for 9 months, 3 days fasting - 1 day eating, and then fasted the
entire month of October and then the actual Glory Cloud of the Lord came to them and there were
many, many salvations and miracles that took place sovereignly as the Cloud moved through the
villages up in the mountains of Mexico. Contact him I believe that he has a message for the entire
body of Christ today!

Subject: my personal testimony of back from the dead
Dear Richard:
I read with interest of several who had reported back from the dead testimonies. Here is mine: I enjoy
reading your postings.
In Christ, Bruce Walker
I am a living testimony to being raised from the dead. When I was 8 months old I contracted a virus of
some kind that left me very weak and with a high fever. My father is a Baptist pastor for some 60
years now. The story that has been related to me by my parents and others who were in attendance :
On a Sunday night in 1953 my mother stayed home from church because I had been ill for several
days. At the time my father was the pastor of the Highland View Baptist Church in Trussville, Al. When
my father came home from church my mother told him that I was not doing well. As they came in to
check on me they noticed I was having convulsions, they rushed me to the Pell City, AL. hospital
where they were met by our family physician of many years, who in fact had delivered my father years
before, his name was Dr. Martin. When I arrived at the hospital, Dr. Martin was there to greet my
parents and me. Dr. Martin, along with his attending nurse, rushed me in to the emergency room, but
after a few minutes came out and told my parents that I had died. My mother resigned to this fact
began to make funeral arrangements, family and friends were called and many from my church came
to the hospital to comfort my family. My father though did not believe I was dead. He told Dr. Martin
that God had told him that I would live and not die. Dr Martin tried to comfort my father, passing of my
Dad's denial of death as that of a young father greiving. As time wore on, about an hour or so, my Dad
was making a nuisance of himself by loudly declaring to anyone who would listen that I was not dead.
Finally Dr. Martin pulled my dad aside and told him "Billy I can prolong life but I can not give it, accept
the fact your son is dead." Mainly to humour my mother and father he took them back into the room
where my body was draped with a sheet. Dr Martin then did something very unorthodox medically, he
was going to prove to my parents that I was dead. Later he said he thought by doing so it would help
them accept my death. The Dr. pulled the sheet down from my face and held a mirror in front of my
nostrils-no breath, he pulled up my flesh and it stayed in a doughy heap, he put a stethoscope to my
chest-no heartbeat. He turned to my parents and said "see, there is no life here". My Dad pleaded
with Dr. Martin- "but God said he is going to live and not die." Finally exasperated by my dad's
protestations- he took a needle filled with saline solution and stuck it in my heel, when Dr. Martin did
this I let out a cry- Dr. Martin turned as white as the coat he was wearing, my parents just began to
thank God, Dr. Martin said it was too early to tell, that if I lived I would have massive brain damage. I
am now 44 years old, married, father of 2, in business for myself, in short ,very normal and thankful to
God. The last thing that the good Dr. said before he passed on to be with the Lord was, "How is that
Walker boy doing? I know I have seen a miracle, take care of that child." Praise God, He is taking
care of me!
Humbly in Christ,

We really enjoyed your report on resurrections. If your research is ongoing, here are a couple more
resources for you.
Marvin Ford has a book out describing how he died from a heart attack and went to heaven and came
back with a powerful healing anointing. Unfortunately I don't have the book anymore so don't
remember the title, but it should be easy to look up by author.
Dr. Richard Eby has a book. I think the name is "Caught Up Into Paradise". It describes how he fell off
a second story balcony on his head, splitting it open. His wife rode up front in the ambulance pounding
on the dashboard and demanding "Live, in Jesus' name" much to the consternation of the attendants.
When he got to the hospital, they didn't even bother to sew his scalp on straight since he was dead
anyway. I don't remember the particulars of his resurrection -- I think it was just sovereign -- but I recall
that he said to this day when doctors examine him, they tell him he "couldn't possibly be alive"
because there is supposed to be a pool of blood inside the brain (skull?) and his is still empty.
Doctors tell him he couldn't be alive in that condition, but he says God left it that way as testimony to
the fact of his resurrection. I believe Dr. Eby is still alive today. He also has another book called "Tell
Them I am Coming" where God took him to hell. His books are well worth reading and, if I remember
correctly, his first book also contains accounts of other miracles.
I also have a friend whose great-grandfather was raised from the dead after three days. All I
remember is that his wife refused to let them bury him, and then he sat up in his coffin and asked for
his Sunday suit, saying God had told him to go back and preach. He subsequently became one of the
"curcuit-riders" and established hundreds of churches in America. I wrote her to see if she remembers
or can get documented any more details, but haven't heard back yet.
Blessings, Evelyn

Subject: Back from the Dead

Dear Richard,
In response to the inquiry about the women being raised from the dead, I have included the following
article which appeared in our magazine concerning this incidence. Should anyone wish a copy of this
edition, we have a few more back issues available and would certainly send them a complimentary
copy if they e-mailed us. (While quantities last.)
God's best,

BACK FROM THE DEAD Copyright 1997 Arise Magazine

Early on the morning of October 6th, as he was being driven to the airport to catch a 6:00 a.m. flight
out of Montreal, evangelist Scott Holtz and his driver, Henry Pierre, came upon a devastating sight. A
car had slammed into a highway guard rail at high speed in front of them, and they were one of the
first cars on the scene to give assistance.
"When we saw the extent of the injuries suffered by this lady driving the car, we were horrified," Holtz
explained.
She had slammed into a concrete wall with such force that a metal guard rail came crashing through
her window and through part of her head. "As people stopped to assist this lady, nobody wanted to go
near her body because of the terrible looking open wound she had suffered to her face and head,"
Holtz remembered.
Having called the police on their cellular phone, Holtz and Pierre waited for around twenty minutes for
them to arrive.
While they waited, they began to witness about Jesus Christ to the other people who had gathered
around. They were also trying to calm down their own emotions as they looked upon this terrible, early
morning scene. "Here was this middle aged lady on the way to work, suddenly killed," Holtz said. "Her
once beautiful face ripped open by the impact of the car wreck." They kept looking closely while
waiting for the police to see if she would start breathing again. But there was no sign of life for over
twenty minutes.
"Her heart was no longer pumping blood through her huge head wounds," Holtz related. "She had
died instantly and tragically upon impact." The first Montreal police officers to arrive at the scene could
barely look at her, according to Holtz. The two were astonished that the officers didn't even try to
revive her. Instead, they simply "walked away in horror to redirect traffic."
The commanding officer later arrived and inspected the women. Then, he walked back to his cruiser
to get a yellow plastic tarp to wrap her body in.
"It was at this time that my friend and I began to feel a tremendous love and anointing for this woman
and her lost soul," Holtz stated. "We began to pray out loud for her and then suddenly she came back
to life!" Her head started to move back and forth. She began to cough and breathe again. The color of
life returned to her skin and what was left of her face. The blood started to flow out of her open wounds
as her heart started beating once again.
"We became totally enraptured with love and euphoric joy as we saw this," Holtz continued. "We
quickly began to speak to her in her car and tell her that we were Christians and had come to tell her
how to get saved and get to Heaven. She was even trying to move her lips and say something to us."
The police officer in charge was "taken aback" by what was happening. Two truck drivers even got
scared and ran ran off when they saw the lady come back to life again.
A little while later, the police officer told Holtz defiantly that she was not going to continue living, but die
very shortly.
"Soon thereafter, I confronted him strongly," Holtz mentioned. "He backed down under conviction of
his own hard and insensitive heart." Holtz and Pierre had to leave the scene when the ambulance
arrived, and they continued on to the airport as they had originally set out to do earlier that morning.
Later that day, Holtz received a phone call from a friend who had called the police department to find
out more information. The police had already contacted the family of the lady and had listed her as
dead on their police report.
"It was very strange to hear this," Holtz remembered. "But I refused to stop praying because I couldn't
get the image of her coming back to life out of my heart!"
Back in Montreal the next day, his friend found a full color picture of the accident in one of the
newspapers. However, few details were given about her condition. So, he contacted the police again.
They would only say that she was dead and offered no further details.
Apparently the officer at the scene of the accident was so impacted by the sight of these two
Christians praying for the lady in the car that morning that the story started to circulate at the station.
One particular officer overheard two others laughing at what Holtz and Pierre had done. It turned out
that she was a born-again believer who decided to research the police report and find out what
happened. Evidently, her body was transported to a nearby hospital, and her family was notified that
she had passed away. Yet, upon the family's arrival, they discovered that she was still alive.
Henry Pierre found out the name of the hospital and went to see if he could get any more information.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon the family waiting in the Intensive Care Unit. He was able to tell them
the true story of what happened that morning which caused the family to "breakdown with
overwhelming tears of joy and comfort."
"The doctors told him that they were able to save her right eye," Scott related. "This totally startles us
to this day because at the accident scene she had no right eye at all. There was just an empty, bloody
eye socket."
In the wake of these exciting events, Holtz is quick to point out that believers should expect God to do
such things through their lives. "This is not just an isolated miracle. This is going to be a common
occurrence," Holtz emphasized. "We are learning how to yield so that the resurrection power can flow
through us."
"I didn't feel any anointing. I felt wasted, tired and was ready to get back to see my family that
morning," Holtz continued. "I believe that after 'marinating' in God's presence in hundreds of services.
His power kicked in when it was needed most."

RESURRECTIONS FROM THE DEAD IN ETHIOPIA

From: IRN Date: May 1, 1998
Editorial note: This report has been verified and the author's name removed by request. He feels that
any "promotion syndrome" would remove the anointing. He shares it with us simply to glorify God. We
are grateful.
I went to the hospital in Atad to witness about Jesus and to see if I could pray for people. Whilst I was
there I noticed a stretcher with a dead women on it and all the relatives mourning and crying out. They
were saying in their sadness that they would never see their girl again, she was gone from them
forever and their grief was great. My heart went out to them and I went across to them to see if I could
console them in some way or pray for them. When I got to them I sympathised with them and tried to
help comfort them in some way. They were very distressed this daughter meant a lot to them and she
had been sick for some time and now had died.
After some time I helped clean the body and prepare it for burial. My heart began to yearn to help
them more and I began praying. As I was preparing the body and praying I felt my hands moving
across to her stomach and then I heard my mouth began to speak." I am the resurrection and the life. If
a man believe in me, though he were dead yet shall he live!" I repeated it over and over again, getting
louder and louder. The family, nearby began to get more distressed and angry but one of them was a
Christian and realised that something was happening from the Lord and so he move the relatives out
temporarily.
By this time I said I wanted to pray and the boy joined me, whom I did not know. I turn to the corpse
and laid my hands on her stomach and began to pray to Jesus. I could feel fire come into my body and
through my hand and suddenly the women open her eyes and sat upright in bed. She was perfectly
well. Her relatives came running back in and there was great rejoicing and I preached to the whole
family testifying of the gospel and the power of God.
The next day I went back and she was discharged and met the Christian boy and told him that he must
now teach the family the ways of Jesus as they were going back to their home which was some
distance away in the countryside. She was discharged by the doctors and being perfectly well, no
disease that she had previously nor any other thing wrong with her. Praise the Lord!
A Testimony by my Interpreter and our Worship Leader.
I was holding a housegroup meeting and heard of one of the women's relatives that was sick in
hospital in Addis Ababa. She was very sick and this girl was very worried about her. The next day I
went with the girl to the hospital and we asked to be admitted to see this lady. The authorities refused
us entry and so, not knowing what else to do we sat down and began to pray to the Lord. After some
time the authorities came back and said that I could come in to see this lady but not the girl that was
with me. I took this to be a directive from the Lord that I was to pray for this sick lady.
I was taken to the ward only to find that this lady had died and the doctors were being notified at that
very moment. The guard left me alone with her and I was perplexed. Why did God bring me here when
the lady had already died. I was going to pray for her sickness to be made better. Then suddenly I
realised that the Lord might want me to pray for her even now.
I began to pray and during the praying I realised that I was calling her back to her body. Suddenly her
eyes opened and she was better. She was brought back. When the doctors arrived they examined her
and asked why the nurses had brought them to a patient that was already better. The nurses were
confused. Later this lady was discharged from the hospital and she came to (church) on the Sunday to
testify to her miracle. Praise the Lord!

Miracle In Washington
Becca Bates and her son Dustin were eating lunch in Centralia, Wash., recently when they heard a
commotion. With a wail of sirens, an ambulance drove into the parking lot. A crowd of people were
gathering. Curious, Bates and her son went outside. A 22-month-old baby lay on the pavement and
medical personnel were just beginning to work on it. The child had stopped breathing, lost most of its
color, and showed no signs of life. Dustin, 17, stepped forward and did the unthinkable. "Would you
mind if I held the baby," he asked the medic. Incredibly, he was allowed to take the child. "Would you
mind if I prayed?" he asked next. As Dustin began praying for the child in front of the crowd, Becca
went to the distraught mother and prayed with and comforted her. About that time the baby started to
move again. Dustin put the baby on his shoulder and started patting it. Soon the baby began to get
color back in its face. Then it began to cry.

Holy Spirit Waves

Keven Kinnee
The other day as I was working a vision of the ocean came u p within me. As I watched, the waves that were coming in
seemed few and far apart and as they washed up on shore they only removed a small amount of sand.
As I continued to watch, the waves seemed to increase in size but were spaced far apart. The effect on the beach was
that more sand was washed as each wave came upon the beach.
In a short while the number and size of waves increased and began to pound the beach, washing a lot of sand with each
pass. As I watched, each successive wave was larger and more powerful than the one before it and the timing between
each wave was getting shorter.
As this was going on Holy Spirit reminded me of a word that He gave me two years ago that correlated directly to this. It
was as follows:
On the day of Pentecost as I poured out my Spirit on the earth, it was the most powerful outpouring to that date. It
affected the nations directly around the Mediterranean area. As I poured out My Spirit during the early centuries, each
outpouring was greater than the one before it and each touched more people. During the 1700's and 1800's the period
between outpourings began to shorten, and My Spirit's presence became more powerful with each release. At the turn of
this century, was the most powerful and widespread release to that time. During this century I have placed upon My
People around the world a hunger for My Presence - for being intimate with me - and a thirst for the demonstration of the
power of My Spirit in their daily lives. Upon this base I have prepared and released My Spirit in greater and increasing
ways to this present time. The releases of My Spirit are going to increase in power and duration and they are going to
begin to overlap until it appears that there has been one continuous outpouring of My Spirit on the world.
Do Not hesitate, Do Not waver, Do Not find fault with each other over what you see but turn your attention to Me and
seek me about your place in what I am doing and then begin to ride on the crest of what I am doing and begin to do the
works that you will see Me doing.

Humility - The Gateway

To The True Faith
Kelly Weiler
Can you hold out your hands in front of you, open, palms up, with all that you have and all that you are or will ever
become held in them?
Can you keep them open like this, open to the Lord?
Then you are beginning to know THE TRUE FAITH!
Will you refrain from grasping, self-promoting, or gloating? Will you love those He gives you to care for, as they continue
on their journey, passing through your hands? Or will you have your own agenda for them, push and manipulate by fear or
condemnation and guilt?
Will you give what He tells you to give, and let go what was never yours in the first place? All is His!
Here is one just as hard if you are prone to being manipulated by false obligations - will you not give when He tells you
not to give?
Can you let go on those who would go on from you, or will you hold them ever close to your small sphere?
Will you encourage others past you, not reluctantly, but this your greatest joy?
Do you suffer guilt and fear when no one is following you, or do you let all rest in the Lord?
Worse yet, do you whip them and cajole, when no one will follow? Or do you resort to the Lord in humility and ask Him
why they are not following?
How presumptuous are you - do you ever think the church was built to support you, or you to support the body, the
bride?
Do you picture yourself as a leader a servant of the church - or do you see the church your platform, to make a spectacle
for you/and the Lord,(in your mind, the two synonymous)?
Could you lay it all down for others to come into their ministry - or do you protect jealously what little patch of ground
you've been given, as if it were an eternal inheritance built just for you?
Are you protecting - or do you entrust all to Him to protect?

Once a man cursed David up and down, David's mighty man said, "Please let me go over and take off his head." David's
response was that it may be the Lord who has given it to the man to so curse David. His trust in God, David said, was
that perhaps the Lord would bless him for the cursing he took that day.
Are your hands open wide in the humility that does not judge yourself so high as beyond reproach - or grasped tightly,
saying all that touches them is mine, ALL MINE!? Do you believe that it is the Lord who gives, but it's people who are
always trying to take away from you, or do you see the Lord is the one who both gives and takes away.
Have you been with Abel, whose brother slew him for the purity and faith of his sacrifice? Would you offer such a sacrifice
if there was a chance your brother might slay you for it, how bout if you knew he was going to slay you for it? If you can,
you are free, you are the Lord's servant, not the servant of men, or of your own image etc.
Have you walked in the quiet places with Enoch, while the world around you is consumed with life?
Or have you built with Noah, labouring long in faith, building for a day which is to come, while the whole world had no
concept of what you were building, labouring for what you believed will be swept away?
How many of you have been with Abraham in Ur of the Chaldees, forsaken all with him to travel to a land you had not yet
seen, believing only the ONE who sent you. Have you walked the wilderness with him, valuing the uncharted mountains
in preference to the established but charming, captivating, luring corruption of cities.
Have you known with Abraham the agony of the failure of your own self-promotions, as when he was goaded to fashion
his own promised seed in the person of Ishmael, when the one that was promised was not yet to be born?
Did you know with Abraham the anguish of a hope, now received in seed (Isaac), a seed promised and received from
God, and then to have it all challenged by God himself again, could you offer even your Isaac to Him. Still your fidelity
towards God is called to be dashed to the point of a faith that says only a resurrection could save the promise now, even
the promised seed remains in God's hands. We get to touch it, minister to it and with it, but the seed remains His.
Have you been taken where you did not want to go, with Joseph, whose God given dream was tested beyond any
measure, over and over again. And then, just as hopes seemed to improve, all was taken out from under him again, till all
that he had left was God? If the Lord has dealt with you this way, you are very blessed indeed. What fruit you will bear
will be born of God!
Do you see how Moses was brought to the point where he realized all his best efforts to save Israel, with the best of title,
position, education, or zeal could only result in disaster? You are a lucky man if God has so brought you to such a
place, and not allowed you to go forward on your own.
Were you with David in the wilderness, where first he came to know the grace of God in secret small places, yet even
when the Lord made it known in open places, and amongst all Israel, again and again he returned all promotion to the
hands of the Lord. Blessed are those who knew with David, that if the Lord has been the one to promote you, be it to a
throne, a palace, or a wilderness with sheep or a ragtag army; the Lord is the one who will uphold you, and not you
yourself!
Will you stand with Elijah, whose trust became so resolute that it unnerved kings and queens, driving armies of the
priests of false gods to a frenzy, while you rest in your GOD! A trust so forged into steel, a bond that you know from the
absoluteness of a reciprocating consecration. A partnership with GOD! Douse the sacrifice again, SOAK IT WITH
WATER - MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE for any salvation but GOD! Whoa ..... ya ......... go for it, SOAK IT ! ! ! MY TRUST IS IN
GOD ! ! ! !
Were any of you with the Baptist, when He held so dearly the one of whom he spoke - that when he beheld the lamb, the
Messiah, he humbled himself and said "I have need to be baptized by you" the one whose shoe-latchet he considered
himself unworthy to undo, and called himself but the friend of the groom. Did you behold him as he decreased, while the
ONE he pointed to was lifted up high that He might draw all men unto Him. Can you take your two most ardent
supporters and followers, point them away from you when you have done your part and say "behold the lamb of God"
"and the two disciples followed Jesus" this being your intention and motivation all along!(JN.1:35)
And do you now follow Him, of whom it was recorded, though the God of all that is temporary offered Him the kingdoms
and wealth of this World, and when men came to make Him king - believed in HIM alone who is the true king-maker.
Believing this even to the point of death. This is fidelity - this is the humility that will make Him your all in all!
The Lord said to my Lord, 'How much do you trust me, and how much are you mine?'
'This much Lord' and with that His hands were stretched out wide, and he died.
Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men, A TEMPLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS.
*****
There is no greater strength known, no deeper rest - than in the confidence of the true faith, an ABSOLUTE faith - IN
GOD ALONE ! When we take our faith off of God and put it on what we can or think we must do to make things happen,
our Ishmael is begun, our own Babel, anything but the city of God.
But when we follow the way of all the men of history who have asked for and submitted to the dealings of GOD, we begin
to discover one of the greatest strengths our Lord can give to man - TRUE, DEEP, SATISFYING HUMILITY! In this state
a person so confesses their trust, refusing to take up the arm of the flesh for their own promotion or deliverance, that they
move into a strength that defies even death to take away their destiny. When a person so much is the Lord's, nothing in
the universe can move them, BUT GOD.
The Lord is making an army of such people!
bless you all,

Kelly Weiler

I Am My Beloved's,
And He Is Mine
Mary Koons
There will be times in the days ahead that many will think I've forsaken them. They will think that the
GREAT I AM has lost interest in their well-being, has given up on their iniquities and is chastising
them with a rod of iron. But it is in my great mercy that they will see how terrible it is when this planet,
this earth, has lost its salt! They will look to the left, and they will look to the right trying to discover what
has happened - why their comfort levels are no more! Why the things that they have ALWAYS
depended upon - their place in society, their wealth, their family connections, their intelligence no
longer matter, and they will come to you MY CHILDREN, and they will say: "Where is your GOD? Why
has this happened to me?" And those who know me will say unto them: "This has happened because
YOU choose NOT to SEEK GOD WHERE HE MAY BE FOUND! This has come about because of
YOUR own pride and YOUR own worldliness. You CHOOSE to go your own way, and HE LOVED
YOU ENOUGH TO LET YOU GO!" "But our GOD IS a GOD OF FORGIVENESS! He IS A GOD OF
MERCY AND LOVE, and if you will turn to HIM NOW, EVEN NOW HE WILL SAVE YOU, REDEEM
YOU - AND YOU WILL GAIN ENTRANCE INTO HIS GLORIOUS KINGDOM!"
BUT WOE unto those who WILL NOT LISTEN! WOE unto those who STILL GO THEIR OWN WAY!
For they will hide in the caves and underneath the rocks, and say, "FALL ON US!" For they KNOW
that their time of judgement has come, and they know that they have NO place in me!"
BE STILL MY CHILDREN, and listen to MY VOICE - listen to MY HEART! Come into a place with me,
where ALL purity - ALL righteousness ABIDE! Do not be trapped by worldly pursuits that lead
nowhere....
For I AM MY BELOVED, and MY BELOVED IS MINE!

I Have To Break Your Hearts

October 25, 1998: The Lord says, it is time indeed for My people to enter into the Valley of Vision. I let these words ring
in your spirit for a moment, for you do not understand. I say, it is time for each of you to enter into the Valley of Vision.
The Valley of Vision is the supernatural realm of My kingdom where I give My orders, where I call My servants forth,
where I broadcast openly My intentions for My church and My intentions for each of you as you walk through the realm of
that glory. You must, therefore, enter into the Valley of Vision in this the day of decision, for there are many, many--
multitudes in fact--in the Valley of Decision. It will only be My people who will walk in the Valley of Vision that shall be
able to help those that are in the Valley of Decision, for I say, you must see My purposes; you must see that I am
indeed casting over the balcony of My glory now the mantle of the anointing that will break the yokes of bondage. I am
calling forth the Sons of Glory. This is a new day, and there will be a new dimension of power given to those who have
submitted themselves to the work of My Spirit as I have come and chastened My sons and chastened My saints. Those
that have submitted themselves to that chastening now are prepared to wear the mantle of power, the prophetic voice that
will come forth by way of proclamation against the devices of the enemy and tear down the strongholds that are set
against the peoples of this world. I decree it this morning. Enter into the Valley of Vision, My people.
October 23, 1998: The voice of God comes tonight, and He challenges the world. You are the people of righteousness
that go forth to speak to them. Tell them this--in their heart lies the evil way of misunderstanding, for they say about you,
they say about My chosen, they say about My children that it is only the feeble, it is only the weak, it is only the
ignorant, it is only those that require a crutch that seek after Me. But, I tell you that their tune will soon change, for I am
bringing the spirit of justice, the spirit of burning upon this world. Then, they will cry out. They will cry out of their own
need, and they will say, "Let the rocks fall upon us; let us hide ourselves in caves that the great God that is bringing
vengeance and justice to this world may not find us and not uncover us and that He may not look upon our sins." We
have come to the day of judgment in which all things are spoken forth by the Spirit of the Lord. Now cometh forth the
great misery of the day of the Lord, and all of the peoples of the world will have to bow, for each knee shall bow before My
throne of judgment, and they shall indeed acknowledge that I am the Lord that liveth forever and forever and forever.
October 30, 1998: Be strong! The enemy has come with doubt and unbelief, lies against My Word, to erode the very
foundation of your faith. Don't look at your circumstances as the substance of your faith; look to Me. I am the Author and
Finisher of your faith. Establish yourselves in the Word and believe it. Haven't I said that faith comes by hearing and
hearing by the Word? Rise up and mix the Word with faith. Mark 11:24 "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask
when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
October 28, 1998: Rise up! Refocus! Behold, the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. Do not be found unaware
or slumbering. Do not be found distracted by the world or worldly pursuits. Rather, be found in Me. Rise above the
mundane into the realm of the supernatural. Rise up above the cares of the world where you can see eternity. Refuse to
allow the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches to choke out the Word and spoil the harvest. Awaken, you
who sleep. Shake yourselves loose from apostasy and complacency. Again, I say, arise!
October 27, 1998: There are those who are seeking--seeking to know pure doctrine, and that is commendable. But, you
will never know pure doctrine unless you know Me. Do not seek so much to improve or fine tune your theology; rather
draw close to Me, to know My heart, to yield to My work in you. If you understand all mysteries and have all knowledge
and do not have love, you have nothing. Seek My face, and yield your heart that I may work My nature in you; that you
be changed into My image.
October 26, 1998: Come out; come up; come in! Come out from the world and be separate; come up higher and closer
and seek My face; come into the Kingdom of God and become a solid citizen. Many of you are still trying to live in the
world and be part of the world and yet still be in My kingdom. But, haven't I said that you cannot serve both God and
mammon? You will love the one and despise the other. And, if you are still serving mammon, your possessions and
wealth, then you despise Me, for where your treasure is, there is your heart also. This is the compromise of the
Laodicean church of today. Too many of you are seeking after the wealth of this present evil world instead of storing up
treasure in heaven. Make a decision; change your mind; re-evaluate your position and choose eternity.
October 25, 1998: I had a vision, I could see Jesus standing in the front of the sanctuary, and those who would come to
Him, He would number. I kept wondering what the numbers were, and He said, those that are willing to come He would
number among His disciples, His anointed disciples. There was one prerequisite, as you came to be numbered, He
reached inside each breast and squeezed the heart of that person until it was broken. He said, the hearts of My people
have become hardened and are arrogant; I have to break your hearts because I have something to do with you. He is
breaking the hardness from our hearts. Then, I kept seeing circles, and I said, God, what is this? And He said that these
represent your circumstances; these are the things that go on around where you stand, and you are going in circles,
living your circumstances in cycles. He said that some of you have had a new beginning; you have had an opportunity to
start again, to begin again, but you are just about to be seduced into old behavior. You are about to blow this opportunity.
The way you will know that you have blown it is that you will rise up in pride and a haughty spirit against another human
being. You will consider yourself and your own comfort more highly than another human being that God loves very much.
Some of you are being seduced into criticism and judgmentalism, division, strife, contention, anger, irritability,
intolerance. He says to those that you will not be numbered among His anointed disciples because He cannot have you
coming against His children. What He wants to do in this congregation and in the Body of Christ internationally is to
break us and to cause us to give up our pride and arrogance and to humble ourselves before a Mighty God--to submit to
Him and serve Him with compassion for our fellow human being. The first and great commandment is to love God and the
second is to love your neighbor as yourself. If you say you love God, and you don't love your neighbor, you are a liar.
October 24, 1998: I had a vision of an open door, and I was standing on the threshold looking into a vast but beautiful
expanse. The Lord says, you are standing on the threshold of eternity. The former things have come to pass. The church
age is quickly coming to a close, and a new day is dawning. Life will not be "as usual." Prepare for the greatest upheaval
ever experienced by mankind. This will be the final shaking and separation process. Watch and be amazed as end-time
events begin to unfold and prophecy is fulfilled. But, I say to those who are faithful to Me, do not fear, for I have not
appointed you to wrath. I say, trust Me to deliver you and keep you in safety. The day of My return is at hand.
May the Lord bless and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you!

I Have Equipped You

October 9, 1998: For many of you know not the degree of onslaught against you. Feeling like the very
air you breathe escapes you, struggling like a swimmer threading water but feeling weak to the point
where you despair for life itself. You’re not alone. Not only AM I with you, but countless numbers of
faithful ones world wide, suffer at the hands of a very real adversary. His power is real, his ability to
inflict chaos, calamity and suffering are seen on every continent. When the tempest rises, so I rise.
When the waters rise, I rise. When the fire burns, I burn brighter says your God. I have equipped you
for this hour & the fire is shining up that glorious armor, bringing out the true purity which is by Me says
your God. They're more with you than you know, both angels and praying saints. The effects of the
swarm of adversity brought relentless rage, because you hit his nest. Now destroy his works! I came
to destroy the works of the devil. They are like a nation without a home, they wander through dry
places seeking rest. They are keen at terrorist threats. Even as the Palestinians zealously claim Israel,
they know not the mind of the Lord. For who can curse what I have blessed. But they swarm, they claim
land inch by inch. Hear the word of the Lord, they are not content with one inch, they want all. They
want destruction, for it is the spirit of Babylon at work. Every place that your foot shall tread on has
been given to you to possess. Possess Spiritual ground! Maintain the Spiritual ground that has been
gained! Occupy till I come! This is the occupation of MY army. You shall occupy and you shall build,
you shall spread forth like an army without number. I have all things under control concerning your lives,
says your God. The advancing swarm shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed.
Behold, the former things are come to pass, there is nothing you can do to change it either way. I
declare new things before the spring. The former tyrant masters are dead, they are but powerless
ghosts. Remember not the former years and days.....I will do a completely new thing. I AM the God
who can change everyday into a new beginning. I have declared a new beginning for you NOW, says
your God. Receive it, for now it will spring forth. From this day I show you new things, even hidden
things that you don't yet know. The melting fire burns, the fire causes the waters to boil, to make your
names known to your adversaries that they may tremble at your presence! Who can stop My fire, who
can stop My warriors of valor? If I be for you who can be against you?
The spoken word must be walked out. You are walking out what was spoken in previous months.
These words become flesh in your walk through the fire, water and winds. If you will not run, and will
abide in the place where you are, then I will build you and plant you. Don't go AWOL. Be not afraid of
the king of Babylon, for I AM with you to save you and to deliver you out of his hand. Fear not nor be
dismayed. I AM with you and I AM for you! I will make a full end of the adversity that has been waged
against you. Even though you have made terrible mistakes and even deadly mistakes, I will not make
a full end of you. I shall correct you in measure for you are My sons, says your Father.
I have chosen you to go into all the world and preach My gospel and make disciples. Be not
contaminated by the world. How do you get rid of pollution? Wash your hands in innocency as you
compass My altar, allow Me to wash your feet, from the contaminations of what you have walked
through. Bathe your tongue as you allow the spring of life to bubble up from within and pour out of your
lips in perfect praise.
I saw many different military medals. I saw one with a blue ribbon and Gold star with the word valor
written on it. I saw the color orange. I saw other medals of honor awarded for acts above and beyond
the call of duty. For promotion comes not from the east or west, but promotion comes from the Lord.
Let us present our bodies to God as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable, which is our "reasonable"
service.

CHICAGO'S RAMSEY NAMED AS NEW DC POLICE CHIEF - Charles Ramsey, 48, the second ranking Police Officer in
Chicago's Police Force was named DC Police Chief last Thursday. Ramsey promised to restore confidence in the
District's 3,700-officer department, which is under investigation on several fronts for corruption and mismanagement. He
issued a stern notice that he won't stand for corrupt or lazy officers. Ramsey is well known for his commitment to make
his force "the best, bar none." "They say in Chicago that officers will walk through walls for him," said DC Labor
Committee Chairman Detective Frank Tracy. Offer thanksgiving and intercede for Chief Ramsey as he assumes his new
position in the nation's Capitol.
NEW PARK SERVICE HANDBOOK TRACKS UNDERGROUND RAILROAD - Eleven sites in Washington, DC, seven in
Virginia, and four in Maryland that were way stops in the secretive railroad that helped thousands of slaves escape to
freedom are included in a new $5.50 handbook released yesterday by the National Park Service.
CLINTON ADMINISTRATION / 105TH CONGRESS
STARR PREPARING INDEPENDENT COUNSEL'S REPORT TO CONGRESS - The Washington Post reported this
morning that Kenneth Starr's prosecutors have already written large sections of their report to the House of
Representatives. The federal Independent Counsel statute mandates that a formal report be made to the U.S. House of
Representatives whenever prosecutors find "any substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for
impeachment." Starr and his legal staff have stated that they are hoping to finish and present the Lewinsky investigation
report to the House by the end of May. ATTORNEY GENERAL BEING URGED TO BLOCK OREGON'S ASSISTED
SUICIDE LAW - At least 38 members of Congress have now urged Janet Reno to block Oregon's recent law legalizing
physician-assisted suicide. Reno could easily enforce the federal Controlled Substances Act to crack down on Oregon
doctors moving toward assisting suicide.
BUDGET SURPLUS A FANTASY - Congressional auditors now project that the surplus of income over expenditures at
the close of the fiscal year ending on October 1st could be as high as $18 billion. Because the massive interest
payments on our National Debt and the $41.3 billion paid by the U.S. Treasury as interest to the Social Security Trust
Fund is not really being regarded as "expenses," this projected "surplus" is really a fiscal fantasy. Intercede as
nationwide Town Hall meetings and Congressional debate on stabilizing the Social Security Trust Fund, President
Clinton's new entitlement proposals, and 1999 Budget Appropriations are underway. Pray that the Lord deliver us from
the love of money and the power of mammon, that He break deception being perpetrated about a budget "surplus," and
that He raise up and anoint courageous leaders who will address the severity of our National Debt, totaling
$5,547,741,611,049.53 as of today.
FAMILY TAX RELIEF MEASURES PROPOSED - Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) introduced the Family Friendly Tax Relief Act,
H.R. 3583, last week. The bill would double the recently passed $500 per-child tax credit for children under five years old.
Wolfe contrasted his bill with President Clinton's "one-size-fits-all" $21 billion day care initiative announced in January.
"Let parents decide how best to care for their children, not Washington," Wolfe said. Rep. Bob Franks (R-NJ) has
introduced H.R. 3176. His measure would extend the Dependent Care Tax Credit to many at-home parents with children
under age 7.

PRAYER EVENTS TO INCLUDE CITY-WIDE EVENING CELEBRATION AND SIMULCAST UPLINK FROM THE
SENATE RUSSELL BUILDING -
Tomorrow's National Day of Prayer (NDP) observances occurring in DC include 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM Sessions of Prayer
led by National Day of Prayer Task Force chair, Mrs. Shirley Dobson, and other leaders in the U.S. Senate Russell
Building; a controversial noon prayer vigil on the steps of the Supreme Court (see next report); the conclusion of a non-

Christian prayer and praise celebration on the West Steps of the U.S. Capitol; and a nationwide 8:00-11:00 PM (Eastern)
radio/TV simulcast with a live uplink from the Russell Senate Office Building, and also from Dallas and Los Angeles. A
host of Christian radio and TV stations will carry this 3-hour concluding Concert of Prayer. It is also available on the

SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO PERMIT PRAYER ON STEPS; NOON VIGIL STILL TO OCCUR -
The Marshal of the U.S. Supreme Court, Dale E. Bosley, informed Christian Defense Coalition (CDC) leaders in writing
late last week that their formal request to peacefully assemble and pray on the steps at noon during tomorrow's National
Day of Prayer was being denied. Bassly cited a statute and ruling indicating that "processions and assemblages are
prohibited on the grounds of the Supreme Court." "The steps leading to the front Plaza are a part of the Supreme Court
grounds," Bassly wrote. "Lawful assemblages may be conducted on the perimeter sidewalks, however," the Marshal
noted. The group had been denied a similar request in January. Gathering "to affirm the principles of free speech and
religious expression and to seek God's mercy and forgiveness in prayer," CDC leaders and pastors responded that they
will assemble on the steps, even if they are arrested.
FEDERAL JUDGE REJECTS PRESIDENT'S EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE CLAIM; WHITE HOUSE EXPECTED TO
APPEAL -
U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson ruled yesterday that prosecutors' interest in obtaining testimony
outweighed the President's interest in keeping confidential the advice he received from his key aides. The White House
said this morning that it will probably appeal the ruling. While the decision will delay Kenneth Starr's investigation, the
appeal is expected to quickly make its way to the Supreme Court, as a similar one by President Nixon did in 1974. The
Court, silent on claims of presidential executive privilege for nearly 200 years, rejected Nixon's arguments and
unanimously ruled that a presidential assertion of the privilege must be justified on a case-by-case basis. Intercede as
this process, under court seal, now unfolds.

ISRAELI KNESSET MEETING SUNDAY TO CONSIDER U.S. "INVITATION/THREAT"

Israel's Parliament will convene Sunday to debate the U.S. "invitation and threat" delivered to Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu by U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright - that either Netanyahu and the Israeli government
accept the U.S. proposal that Israel withdraw troops from an additional 13 percent of the West Bank (Judea and
Samaria), in addition to the 27 percent of territory already returned to the Palestinian Authority (PA), or Netanyahu can
forget about his invitation to come over for a peace Summit next week in Washington. Israel has agreed to yield another
9 percent, but continues to insist upon increased PA anti-terrorist measures and a public annulment of the PLO National
Covenant clause calling for the destruction of the state of Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a reply affirming his
nation's sovereignty and saying that it would not be "dictated to" by the U.S. ACROSS THE NATION
ALASKA SENATE FACING MAY 12 SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BILL DEADLINE -

Prayer has been requested by Alaskan pro-family leaders as state Senate Joint Resolution, SJR 42, a measure that
would amend the Alaska Constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage. If SJR 42 is defeated, the Alaska Supreme Court is
expected to legalize homosexual marriage, making it the first state to do so and opening the door for homosexuals to
marry there and return to any state to challenge laws there under the full-faith-and-credit clause of the U.S. Constitutions.
10TH ANNIVERSARY OF U.S. NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER SET FOR TOMORROW -

Corporate days of repentance, prayer and fasting were observed by America's founding Puritan and Pilgrim believers and
public officials. National days of prayer have been called as early as 1775 when the First Continental Congress asked
citizens to pray for God's guidance in forming a new nation. Abraham Lincoln called for a similar day in 1863 as the
nation was facing the prospect of Civil War. The National Day of Prayer began to become an annual event as Congress
started, in 1952, to call for the observance via a Joint Resolution. On May 5, 1988, the 100th Congress of the United
States passed a bill, signed by President Reagan, "to provide for setting aside the first Thursday in May as the date on
which the National Day of Prayer is celebrated." Please take time to join in personal reflection, repentance and prayer
during tomorrow's historic 10th Anniversary observance on the theme "America: Return to God," drawn from Joel 2:12-13
(NIV). " ‘Even now,' declares the Lord, ‘return to Me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning. Rend
your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger
and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity.'"

MAJORITY OF DC RESIDENTS POLLED SUPPORT SCHOOL VOUCHERS, BUT PRESIDENT CLINTON VETOES BILL
-
A Washington Post poll revealed that 67% of parents with children in DC schools favor vouchers. Last month, President
Clinton vetoed a school voucher bill that would have allowed 2,000 low-income families to send their children to parochial
or private schools (Wash. Post, 5/23). Pray that DC parents will accept the continuing challenge of providing Godly
education and training to their children.
PRESIDENT CLINTON GIVES CIVIL RIGHTS PROTECTION TO GAY FEDERAL EMPLOYEES

Although there is no evidence that federal workers have been fired for homosexuality, President Clinton issued an
executive order banning "discrimination" against homosexuals. Without legislative authorization, he has added this new
category to the federal civil rights laws. (Bauer, Washington Update, 5/29)
WHITE HOUSE WITHDRAWS COURT APPEAL, BUT CLINTON WON'T TESTIFY BEFORE STARR -
President Clinton's lawyers appealed the federal court decision denying executive privilege (as President Nixon did and
lost), but soon dropped the appeal. The White House's new strategy is to assert attorney-client privilege to restrict any
questions the grand jury might ask his deputy counsels (LA Times, 6/2). Although Clinton promised many times to
cooperate with Kenneth Starr's investigation, he apparently has decided not to appear or testify before the grand jury. The
White House refuses to give Starr "records of Clinton's whereabouts on specific dates last year" (Time, 6/8). Continue to
pray that the truth be revealed regarding allegations against President Clinton.
ON FOREIGN FRONTS
CONTINUED PRAYER FOR ISRAEL AND MIDDLE EAST NEEDED -

Gary Bergel and the IFA prayer delegation in Israel report that the need for earnest, sustained prayer for Israel and the
Middle East is great at this time. An average of one Israeli soldier, often just 18 or 19 years of age, is killed each day in
the northern security zone with Lebanon. Two young soldiers were killed by Hezbollah-placed road mines just hours
before, and just 6 miles from where the IFA team prayed on-site. David Bar Elon, a senior aide to Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, welcomed the more than 500 attending the opening session of the June 1-4 Shavuot Conference in
Jerusalem. He thanked and asked all Christian friends of Israel to keep praying. Mr. Bar Elon pointed out that in the four
to five years since the "peace" process began, over 310 Israeli citizens have been killed in terrorist actions. On a per-
capita basis, this would be equivalent to more than 12,000 being killed in the United States. Since Yasser Arafat and the
PLO have not annulled the Palestinian National Covenant which vows the destruction of the state of Israel, the security of
Israel's borders and of its citizens, Jew and Arab alike, must remain a top priority with government officials. The fields are
ripe unto harvest in Israel and the Middle East. Many new works of mercy and outreach are flourishing. Let us continue in
earnest intercession against premature war, for Israel's protection, and that still more spiritual laborers be sent into
service in the whole of the Middle East. (Ps. 122, Mt. 9:37-38)
100,000 KENYAN CHRISTIANS GATHER TO PRAY FOR THEIR NATION -
On Africa Day, Christians gathered at 57 locations across Kenya to petition God, "humble themselves before the Lord,
confess their sins, and to ask the Lord in His great mercy and loving kindness to heal the land" (Brigada, AD 2000 and
Beyond). Add your prayers to those of the people of Kenya for God's favor on their land.

FIRST FRIDAY PRAYER FOCUS -

Join with tens of thousands in fasting and prayer this Friday, June 5. ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN - Prayerfully
reflect upon this phrase of the Lord's Prayer. Pray that your will along with the will of your family members, all believers,
neighbors, and public officials in your region and state be "brought into entire conformity with the Divine will."
CORRUPTION - Offer thanksgiving that the many investigations are continuing to progress toward resolution. Thank the
Lord for His mercy, patience and forbearance toward us in the midst of our nation's ingrained lying, deception, bribery,
greed and manipulations. Prayerfully affirm that Jesus Christ is "ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead,"
(Is 9:6-7; Acts 10:42; 1 Tim 6:15) and that He is the source and consummation of all government, truth, justice, mercy,
atonement, forgiveness, reconciliation, cleansing from defilement, and hope.
FALL ELECTIONS - November U.S. voters will again elect an entire House of Representatives, one third of the Senate,
many governors and local and state officials. There is the possibility of gaining a pro-life majority in the Senate, but there
is also the possibility of losing many believing and pro-life members in the House. Pray that Godly pro-life candidates in
your state and area be encouraged, supported and find favor with voters.
FOREIGN POLICY - With great pressure being exerted to force Israel into "final status" talks over Jerusalem, 11
European nations uniting and planning to use a new common currency on January 1, 1999, a continuing nuclear threat
from China and Russia, and an increasing potential for nuclear, biological and chemical terrorism, intercede that "wisdom
from above" be granted to President Clinton, Secretary of State Albright, National Security Advisor Berger, U.S.
Ambassadors, and all involved in executing foreign policy, as well as the heads of state and foreign officials they interact

Secretary William Cohen set up a panel, headed by former Senator Nancy Kassebaum Baker, to study mixed-sex

to ensure that women passed. But Secretary Cohen rejected the panel's finding, preferring unisex barracks containing
some type of barriers and unisex training. He said, "One thing is clear: We cannot run the military today without women"
(Washington Times, 6/9). Pray that biblical standards will be respected between the sexes (Gen. 14:14-16; Num. 1:2-3,

Chief White House advisor Rahm Emmanuel and aides reported on Monday that President Clinton plans a blitz of

NATIONAL ID CARD ON HORIZON; CLINTON EXECUTIVE ORDERS COMING UNDER SCRUTINY -

When the Omnibus Appropriations Act for 1997 was signed into law on 9/30/96. The "Immigration Reform Act," a little-
noticed subset of that bill, forces each state to make its driver's licenses comply with federal requirements by October 1,
2000. A strictly validated Social Security number and digitized biometric information (i.e. fingerprints, retina scan, DNA
and voice prints) will be part of each license. The U.S. Dept. Of Transportation published the related "Driver'
License/SSN/National Identification Document" regulations an on June 17. This mandated license will be the necessary
and "appropriate" ID when checking in for flights, doing bank transactions, receiving Medicare, Medicaid and Social
Security payments, and buying a gun. Employment and medical records will also be stored on a federal database.
Privacy as Americans have known it to date will be a thing of the past.
Analysts are reporting that President Clinton's Executive Order # 13083, signed on May 14, 1998, will be used to
implement this National ID Card move. EO # 13083 gives authority to the federal government to force most anything
deemed "necessary," upon states to have their citizens comply, and would work in defiance of the Tenth Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution. The authority of an "Order," such as EO 13083 signed on May 14, 1998, is far-reaching enough to
be used to declare a state of "national emergency" to activate the War Powers Act for "any threat to national security,
perceived or real," and to impose martial law upon the nation. National disturbances, such as those being predicted from
the Y2K Year 2000 computer problem, could be used to justify such action. Congress, under the War Powers Act, would
not be able to debate such a Presidential declaration for six months. Pray that more Americans would desire to become
informed, and that media, political analysts and our public officials become responsible to inform the public about the
increasing use and unilateral and binding legal power of Presidential "Executive Order"

The UN General Assembly voted 124-4 yesterday (with 10 abstentions and 26 nations not present) to grant the PLO
observer delegation in the UN nearly the same status and rights as those given independent states. No other entity has
been granted such a unique non-voting status. U.S. opposition was "overwhelmed." Only the U.S., Israel, Micronesia and
the Marshall Islands voted against the Arab-sponsored resolution. Expectation is growing that Yasser Arafat will declare
a Palestinian state, perhaps on May 4, 1999, (an anniversary date of the PLO's Oslo Accord signing in Cairo on May 4,
1994) whether or not there is an Israeli-Palestinian settlement.

DISTRICT MOVES TO DEAL WITH PROSTITUTION -

Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey and Executive Assistant Chief Terrance Gainer saw to their dismay women and men
selling their bodies as customers in cars shopped for their services. The prostitution business, which has been a
downtown problem since the 1970's, always picks up in warmer weather. This summer, city and police officials say they
will move the streetwalkers out of the District permanently - using a new law that is only valid for 90 days. Gainer said,
"We don't help the city by moving them from one corner to another, we either move them away entirely, lock them up or
help them to help themselves." An emergency anti-prostitution bill was passed Tuesday by the D.C. Council. The
measure, which takes effect in two weeks, will allow officers to arrest any person in a public space who repeatedly tries
to engage passersby in conversation or stops or beckons to traffic for the purpose of prostitution. (Wash Post 7/12,

testify in the Monica Lewinsky investigation. Others in the President's security team could soon follow, according to two
government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity. A federal judge and an appeals court panel have ordered
testimony by other Secret Service personnel, but the Clinton administration is appealing that ruling.
ACROSS THE NATION
CONGRESS TO ACT ON HOST OF MEASURES -

Federal lawmakers are racing to complete their work on the following family-related items before they take off for the
month of August: The House of Appropriations Committee voted 32-23 on Tuesday to pass an amendment to the
Labor/Education/Health and Human Services Appropriations (Labor/HHS) bill that would require "family planning" clinics
funded with federal Title X (ten) dollars to notify parents before distributing contraceptives to their underage children. Pro-
abortion lawmakers are expected to try stripping the amendment when the bill reaches the House floor, probably within
the next two weeks. House members are scheduled to vote today on the Child Custody Protection Act (H.R. 3682),
which would make it a federal offense to circumvent state parental-involvement laws by transporting a minor across state
lines to obtain an abortion. The Senate Judiciary Committee could vote as early as Thursday on the Senate version of the
bill (S. 1645). Pro-family House members are still trying to strike from the Treasury/Postal Appropriations bill (H.R. 4104)
an amendment, sponsored by Rep. Nita Lowey, D-NY, that would require all Federal Employee Health Benefit plans to
provide coverage for contraceptive drugs and devices. This would include RU-486 (the abortion pill), if as is expected, the
Food and Drug Administration gives its full approval for U.S. manufacture and distribution. Rep. Joel Hafley, R-Colo., and
other pro-family members are backing an amendment to the bill that would bar the use of funds to implement an
executive order issued by President Clinton that would include "sexual orientation" in the affirmative action laws covering
the federal government. The House Appropriations Committee is expected to begin considering the bill either today or
Thursday. The House is set to vote July 23 to attempt to override the President's veto of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
The Senate will vote later this summer. The Senate is expected to vote late this week or next week on S. 1482, a bill that
would require commercial internet pornography distributors to verify - through adult access code, credit card or personal
identification number - that their users are at least 18 years of age before allowing them to access sexually explicit
images. This week or next, Senators are also hoping to vote on S. 1619, which would require public libraries receiving
federal funding for online access to install filtering software on at least one internet terminal. Public schools receiving the
subsidies would be required to install filtering software on all of their internet terminals.

Pray as the heads of the Central Asian states of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan will hold a summit
on Friday to focus attention on regional security and threats of Islamic extremism. The presidents of the four former

ARABIA RELEASES 8 FILIPINO CHRISTIANS - Give thanksgiving for the unexpected release of eight Filipino Christians
imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for practicing their Christian beliefs. Of the thirteen Christians who were imprisoned in Riyadh
last month, at least five are still in prison. Mounting pressure against the Saudi government included appeals from the
United States, the United Kingdom, the government of the Philippines and the Vatican. Practicing the Christian faith in
Saudi Arabia is strictly prohibited and the penalties range from imprisonment to execution. Christian places of worship
are banned outright in the highly conservative Muslim country

DISTRICT POLICE ESCORT POSTAL WORKERS

District police officers are escorting U.S. postmen through high crime areas according to Assistant Police Chief Terrance
Gainer. The U.S. Postal Service has put four DC neighborhoods on notice that service may be discontinued if mail theft
and threats against postal employees persist. Two years after a postal employee was shot to death in his mail truck,
unknown vandals set fire to a mail truck Monday afternoon. The U.S. Postal Service driver escaped but the $20,000
vehicle was destroyed (Wash Times 7/21 & 22).
CLINTON PROMOTES ANTI-MISSILE TREATY AS CHINA BUILDS ICBMs

China has added 6 new intercontinental ballistic missiles to its nuclear arsenal, largely targeting the U.S., and will build
two more this year, according to the Pentagon (Wash Times 7/21). Meanwhile, the Clinton Administration is attempting
to revive the defunct 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty to create a multi-lateral treaty with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and
Kazakhstan. Such a treaty, taking effect without the consent of the Senate, would prohibit the U.S. or signing partners
from deploying a nationwide missile defense system despite the Rumsfeld Commission's recent report that the U.S. is
vulnerable to missile attack. Pray that our leaders would not fail to provide adequate defense for our nation or undermine
future efforts to do so.
SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES ON RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION BILL THURSDAY

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will vote Thursday on the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998,
sponsored by Senator Don Nickles (R-OK). More flexible than the Wolf-Specter bill awaiting a Senate vote, the Nickles
bill may avoid a Presidential veto. The Journal of Commerce (7/21) calls this "the most sweeping in this summer of
sanctions because it affects so many countries... religious oppression exists in 77 nations."
SECRET SERVICE AGENTS TESTIFY THIS WEEK; PRESIDENT CHALLENGED

As Secret Service agents serving the President appear before a Grand Jury for questioning this week, Senate Majority
Leader Trent Lott was quoted on Fox News Sunday urging President Clinton to appear before a grand jury. Lott said,
"The truth will set you free. If there's no problem there, tell the truth and be done with it." HOUSE APPROVES NEA
FUNDING - The U.S. House voted 253-173 to finance $98 million in FY 99 for the National Endowment for the Arts, which
has been criticized for supporting pornographic and blasphemous art. The NEA money, however, is attached to a
contentious bill to finance the Interior Department and may fail to pass Senate scrutiny (NY Times 7/22).

DEPARTMENT OF HHS TO SET-UP NATIONAL HEALTH ID

In the wake of the recent announcement that a little known 1997 immigration bill would force the creation of a national
identity document, the Department of Health and Human Services began hearings on a National Health Card which was
mandated by a 1996 insurance reform law. HHS Officials are moving slowly and the American Medical Association has
publicly objected to the plan which may erode the doctor-patient relationship and violate a patient's right to confidentiality.
At least four bills are being prepared in Congress to guarantee privacy under the bill.
ALABAMA APPOINTS ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT UNBORN CHILD

In a precedent-setting case, Montgomery Circuit Judge Mark Anderson has appointed an attorney to protect the interests
of an unborn child whose teenage mother sought a court- ordered abortion. The appointed attorney, Julian McPhillips,
while noting that Alabama's laws have always provided for protection of the inheritance and property rights of unborn
children, says the protection of "life interests" makes this a ground-breaking case.
HEAT WAVE HITS NATION

A heat wave that has hit most of the continental U.S., with highs in the upper 90's to low 100's, has left 124 people dead

NO PROGRESS IN ISRAELI PALESTINIAN TALKS

Neither side was hopeful following a second day of talks over an American peace proposal. Palestinian leaders have said
they will discuss only West Bank troop withdrawal and the PLO covenant, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu wants
numerous issues resolved before a settlement is reached. Palestinian leaders flatly refused Israel's offer of a 10%
pullback rather than the 13% proposed under the American plan (Wash Times 7/22).

PRESIDENT CLINTON SUBPOENAED TO TESTIFY; MONICA LEWINSKY GRANTED FULL IMMUNITY

Talks between White House and Independent Counsel lawyers reached an impasse yesterday as the President insisted
on delaying his testimony (in whatever form it might take) until September. Pray, as the two sides are now in closed-door
hearings with Chief U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson. White House legal strategy is to delay any report on
potentially impeachable offenses until after the fall elections, and to have Monica Lewinsky testify first. NBC also
reported last night that the President's legal team (numbering some 65 - the highest in U.S. history) is hoping for a further
delay as they are expected to appeal their recent court defeat on attorney- client privilege which compels President
Clinton's closest confidant, Bruce Lindsey, to testify. Former White House intern Monica Lewinsky's lawyers announced
yesterday that they had reached an agreement with Kenneth Starr and that "transactional immunity" will be granted to
their client. This means that Independent Counsel Starr will not prosecute Miss Lewinsky for any crime she describes
truthfully in testimony to the grand jury.
ABORTIFACIENT COVERAGE BEING PUSHED THROUGH CONGRESS TODAY -

Pro-abortion Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Harry Reid (D-NV) are expected to introduce an amendment today
even more sweeping than the recently-passed House version to sanction mandated federal insurance coverage for
abortion-inducing contraceptives Depo-Provera, Norplant and RU-486, if approved in the U.S. Earnest prayer and calls to
senators via the Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121 to oppose the Snowe/Reid amendment are requested.

BURIED MISSILE LABS INVISIBLE TO U.S. SATELLITES -

The Washington Post reported today that North Korea, Iran, Russia, China and other nations are concealing their ballistic
missile programs from U.S. surveillance by using enormous underground laboratories and factories to build and test
weapons. Today's report was based on findings by a congressionally-appointed bi- partisan panel investigating the
"erosion" of U.S. intelligence agencies' ability to monitor weapons proliferation. Iran flight-tested a Shahab-3 missile last
week that is capable of reaching all parts of Israel and Saudi Arabia. President Clinton signed an Executive Order
yesterday barring U.S. aid to seven Russian companies known to be aiding the development of chemical, biological or
nuclear weapons in such nations. The President called this proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) "one of
the toughest security challenges we face." Defense Secretary Cohen's WMD Alert is available via website

NATION'S CAPITAL IN DESPERATE NEED OF DRUG ABUSE SERVICES

Many prisoners in the District of Columbia are in possession of a blue form stamped by the D.C. Parole Board stating
that they are "free," while in reality they can only leave jail when they are admitted to a residential drug treatment
program. Prisoners often wait many months for treatment. Some inmates' sentences have expired before they received
any mandated treatment. It is estimated that barely 10 percent of the city's 65,000 substance abusers are receiving any
kind of treatment. At least 40 percent of adults arrested in Washington, DC test positively for cocaine, opiates or PCP.
Nearly three-fourths of all DC criminals report current or recent drug use. DC's problems are part of an intense national
debate about the value of current drug treatment programs. Some analysts maintain that many present programs "do
little more than coddle criminals who need to grow up and take responsibility for their troubled lives." Please intercede
that the Lord look with mercy, intervene and bring reforms to governing and funding agencies, strengthen and sustain

HOUSE SEEKING EVIDENCE FOR IMPEACHMENT BROADER THAN LEWINSKY; ALLEGATIONS OF TREASON
LURK ON HORIZON
House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced on Monday that the House will likely seek a presentation of evidence from all
of Kenneth Starr's investigations before determining to launch an impeachment inquiry. Rep Henry Hyde (R-IL), chairman
of the House Judiciary Committee which is responsible for initiating impeachment hearings, said that the House would
first need to conduct a private review of Starr's findings, and that he did not expect any House action before November.
House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt (D-MO) sent shock waves into the White House as he appeared on weekend
talk shows, criticized Clinton for his private behavior, and refused to rule out impeachment. In an interview yesterday
Gephardt termed the intense media scrutiny of Clinton "legitimate," and said that he will not engage in a "partisan
defense" of the President. "Impeachment is probably the most important duty Congress has, "Gephardt reiterated, "right
up there with declaring war."
Calling lying about having sex with an intern President Clinton's "lesser sins," House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX)
stated in a speech yesterday that the more the House looks into the "business of the transfer of advanced, sophisticated
technology to the Chinese military, which seems to be clearly for campaign contributions, the harder it is to stay away
from words like ‘treason.'" Deputy White House Press Secretary Barry Toiv countered from Martha's Vineyard saying that
"Mr. Armey continues to enhance his reputation for being one of the most partisan members of Congress."
PRESS SCRUTINIZES PRESIDENT'S PATTERNS OF LYING; WHITE HOUSE LAWYERS CRAFT DEFENSE
Monday's Washington Post carried the following front page analysis by staff writers Peter Baker, Ruth Marcus and
Susan Schmidt: "President Clinton, famed for a razor-sharp political memory, was uncharacteristically forgetful when he
was questioned under oath in the PaulaJones civil case last winter about his relationship with Monica S. Lewinsky.
Seven month s later, forced to justify those answers during unprecedented testimony in a grand jury criminal investigation
by independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr, the president's memory improved.
"In January, he said he did not remember being alone with her and never had an affair with her. Last week, he said they
had a half-dozen sexual encounters. In January, he did not recall any specific gifts he gave her. Last week, he named
three he presented just after Christmas. In January, he was not sure he talked with her about testifying other than making
a joke about it. Last week, he said they discussed how to respond to a subpoena.
"But in those vague and what Clinton now admits were misleading answers last January lie the contours of his defense
against accusations of perjury and obstruction of justice. The bottom line, according to some advisors, is this: Yes, he
deceived, obfuscated and evaded. No, he was not forthcoming or fully truthful. But technically, they maintain, he did not
lie. And even if he did, it should not matter legally because it was an irrelevant line of questioning in an illegitimate lawsuit
eventually thrown out of court. Clinton's testimony in the Jones case was so fuzzy that it amounted to what one advisor
called legal ‘jello.'
"As details continue to emerge about his account following last week's questioning, presidential advisors acknowledge
that they are beginning to shape a Clinton defense strategy that relies heavily on nuance, ambiguity and intent."
SENATE NEEDING THREE VOTES FOR PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION BAN

Immediate prayer and the contacting (via their state offices or Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121) of the 36 Senators
(listed below) who voted against the Partial- Birth Abortion Act in May 1997 is being requested by pro-life advocates. The
Senate will reconvene next Monday and could vote as early as September 8. The House voted 296-132 in July to ban
Partial-Birth Abortion, enough to overcome President Clinton's expected veto. The Senate is three votes shy of the 67
necessary for a veto override. The following Senators voted against the ban in May 1997: Akaka, Baucus, Bingaman,
Boxer, Bryan, Bumpers, Chafee, Cleland, Collins, Dodd, Durbin, Feingold, Feinstein, Glenn, Graham (FL), Harkin,

Hundreds of thousands of students returned to school this week and hundreds of thousands more will return after Labor
Day. School districts across the Metropolitan area are struggling to find enough even semi-qualified teachers to fill
classroom vacancies. The situation is being caused by high immigration and an "echo boom" - the large number of

The Senate is in session and the House reconvenes next week. In addition to needing to pass all Appropriations Budget
funding measures, readying itself to receive and deliberate on Kenneth Starr's Whitewater/Lewinsky Report, establishing
foreign policy to deal with the deepening global turmoil and terrorist threats, the Congress also faces a host of
social/family issues. These include: Partial-Birth Abortion (see First Friday Prayer Focus outlined below); Title X
Amendments for parental notification and curtailing of abortion at family planning clinics; a move requiring health plans to

UNITE IN STRATEGIC SEPTEMBER 4 FIRST FRIDAY FASTING & PRAYER -

You are invited to join with tens of thousands this Friday in corporate intercession for: UNFORGIVENESS -Jesus
punctuated His teachings on prayer with the admonition that we practice a lifestyle of forgiveness. (Mk 11:25) Prayerfully
reflect upon this vital truth. Ask the Lord to search your heart and point out any unforgiveness. Pray for grace to forgive
and, by an act of your redeemed will, release any person who "owes" you anything to the Lord - verbally "cancel" or
"forgive" their debt. Intercede that grace unto forgiveness and reconciliation be released into wounded relationships
around you, into families and local church situations in your area, and into the many painful divisions between primary
Church leaders and pastors. PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION - Offer thanksgiving for the House's July vote which again calls
for a ban on this late-term abortion procedure. Pray that the Lord work in the hearts of U.S. Senators so that the few
votes still needed for passage and override of another expected Presidential veto be secured in that chamber. The
National Right to Life Committee has announced that the Senate could vote on September 18. (Deut 30:15-20; Ps 18:26;
Prov 21:1) CORRUPTION - Offer thanksgiving that the Lord is regarding the concerted intercession of multitudes of
believers and that many serious investigations are continuing to progress toward resolution. Pray for Kenneth Starr and
investigators as they complete their Whitewater/Lewinsky report for Congress. Thank the Lord for His mercy, patience
and forbearance toward us in the midst of our nation's ingrained lying, deception, immorality, bribery, greed and guile.
Prayerfully affirm that Jesus Christ is "ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead," (Is 9:6-7; Acts 10:42; 1
Tim 6:15) and that He is the source and consummation of all government, truth, justice, mercy, atonement, forgiveness,
reconciliation, cleansing from defilement, and hope. FALL ELECTIONS - This November U.S. voters will againelect an
entire House of Representatives, one third of the Senate, many Governors and scores of local and state officials. While
there is the possibility of gaining a pro-life majority in the Senate, there is also the possibility of losing many believing

LeBlanc and Twiss have assured skeptics that this is an orthodox Christian gathering - with delegates affirming that
Jesus Christ is God's only Son, the World's Savior, crucified and raised from the dead. The goal is to share fellowship

WILLIAMS WINS DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR MAYOR -
Anthony Williams, a three-year resident of the District of Columbia who won respect by turning around the city's financial
crisis as its Chief Financial Officer, easily defeated three longtime DC Council members for the Democratic nomination.
Williams convinced voters that "caring is delivering" and will face Republican nominee Carol Schwartz at the polls in
November. Mrs. Schwartz earned an impressive 42% of the vote against outgoing Marion Barry in 1994, but she may find
it a tougher race against a popular Democratic candidate in the District, where over 90% of voters are registered
Democrats. DC Statehood Party candidate John Gloster will also appear on the November ballot.
PASTORS TONY CAMPOLO AND GORDON MACDONAND AGREE TO COUNSEL PRESIDENT -

The following is part of a news release from Rev. Campolo's office reporting that both he and Rev. MacDonald, senior
pastor of Grace Chapel in Lexington, MA, have agreed to the President's request that they "hold him accountable for his
behavior." "At least one of us will meet with the President weekly. We will pray with him, study Scripture together, and
do our best to help him as he searches his heart and soul. We want him to understand what went wrong with him
personally that led to the tragic sins that have so marred his life and the office of the Presidency. We want to provide all
the help that we can to spiritually strengthen him against yielding to the temptations that have conquered him in the
past....Be assured that we will not offer what the German martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, called 'cheap grace.' Cheap grace
takes sin lightly and does not call for repentance and change....What we want to see is that the good work which God
initiated in the life of President Clinton...is carried through to fruition."
PRESIDENT'S REMARKS TO CLERGY ATTACHED FOR PRAYER -

Because even Christian news outlets have released only short phrases, and most often quoted statements out of
context, we sensed it important to include the full text at the end of today's Alert. The apostate mixture of religious
language and platitudes the President is exposed to by the First Lady and White House aides given to New Age
practices is evident. Let us offer thanksgiving for the willingness of pastors Campolo and MacDonald, who are being
criticized by some of their peers, and pray that the systematic, biblical, godly counsel, correction and pastoral support
be given that can spiritually save, establish in true faith, reconcile and personally restore our President, as a man, over
the remaining years of his life. In our intercession, let us correctly differentiate between the matter of the President's
personal spiritual life and the legal / Constitutional weighing of evidence and deliberations before Congress. Sin and
transgression can be spiritually forgiven and remitted, but they always carry legal and practical consequences. The
Church and nation remain in a "valley of decision." Do we desire the pagan rule of man and moral chaos, or the rule of
biblically-based law, justice with mercy, and an ethical social order?
MILITARY LEADERS WARN PRESIDENT OF LACK OF READINESS -

President Clinton's top military commanders yesterday warned him that military readiness had suffered due to budget
cuts. This meeting was followed by a report that North Korea may now be able to target U.S. sites with its missiles. Pray
for the country's defense, that US security in the face of mounting terrorist threats will not be compromised.
CONGRESS EXAMINING STARR EVIDENCE; VIDEO TESTIMONY RELEASE EXPECTED TOMORROW

The House Judiciary Committee will soon vote on whether to release video copies of President Clinton's August 17th
testimony. President Clinton's lawyers call the attempt to release the tape politically motivated. With Congressmen
taking more vocal stands this week, another Judiciary Committee member, James Rogan (R-CA), has called the
President's behavior a case of sexual harassment.
SENATE VOTE FRIDAY ON PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION

The Senate stands poised to vote on the Partial Birth Abortion ban this Friday, but supporters say they are still three
votes short of the 2/3 needed to rescue the bill from a Presidential veto. A respected medical publication, Journal of the
American Medical Association, printed an article likening partial-birth abortion to infanticide. The Washington Times
reported last Tuesday that 34 Democratic and primarily Jewish women are urging Democratic senators to uphold the ban.
Urge your Senator to override the president's veto of the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act (Capitol switchboard 202-224-
3121). The following Senators previously voted against the ban: Akaka, Baucus, Bingaman, Boxer, Bryan, Bumpers,
Chafee, Cleland, Collins, Dodd, Durbin, Feingold, Feinstein, Glenn, Graham (FL), Harkin, Inouye, Jeffords, Kennedy,

CHILD CUSTODY PROTECTION ACT TO BE DEBATED

Continue to pray for the passage of the Child Custody Protection Act (S 1645), which would make it a federal offense to
transport a minor across state lines to circumvent parental consent or parental notification laws. A vote on the bill has
been delayed until Tuesday, September 22nd.
PARENTAL NOTIFICATION TO BE DEBATED

As part of the Labor/HHS/Education Appropriations bill, the house will soon debate a provision that parents be notified
before federally-funded "family planning" clinics give their children contraceptive drugs or devices. Pray that this provision
is not stripped from the bill.
"SMITH-BARCIA" AMENDMENT ADDED TO BILL

The House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to the Foreign Operations Appropriations bill limiting
funding of abortion activity abroad. Give thanks for this result from last week's prayer alert.
PRESIDENT CLINTON'S SEPTEMBER 14 REMARKS AT ANNUAL WHITE HOUSE PRAYER BREAKFAST

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the White House and to this day to which Hillary and the vice
president and I look forward so much every year.
This is always an important day for our country, for the reasons that the vice president said. It is an unusual and, I think,
unusually important day today. I may not be quite as easy with my words today as I have been in years past, and I was
up rather late last night thinking about and praying about what I ought to say today. And rather unusual for me, I actually
tried to write it down. So if you will forgive me, I will do my best to say what it is I want to say to you --and I may have to
take my glasses out to read my own writing.
First, I want to say to all of you that, as you might imagine, I have been on quite a journey these last few weeks to get to
the end of this, to the rock bottom truth of where I am and where we all are. I agree with those who have said that in my
first statement after I testified I was not contrite enough. I don't think there is a fancy way to say that I have sinned.
It is important to me that everybody who has been hurt know that the sorrow I feel is genuine: first and most important,
my family; also my friends, my staff, my Cabinet, Monica Lewinsky and her family, and the American people. I have
asked all for their forgiveness.
But I believe that to be forgiven, more than sorrow is required --at least two more things. First, genuine repentance --a
determination to change and to repair breaches of my own making. I have repented. Second, what my bible calls a
``broken spirit''; an understanding that I must have God's help to be the person that I want to be; a willingness to give the
very forgiveness I seek; a renunciation of the pride and the anger which cloud judgment, lead people to excuse and
compare and to blame and complain.
Now, what does all this mean for me and for us? First, I will instruct my lawyers to mount a vigorous defense, using all
available appropriate arguments. But legal language must not obscure the fact that I have done wrong. Second, I will
continue on the path of repentance, seeking pastoral support and that of other caring people so that they can hold me
accountable for my own commitment.
Third, I will intensify my efforts to lead our country and the world toward peace and freedom, prosperity and harmony, in
the hope that with a broken spirit and a still strong heart I can be used for greater good, for we have many blessings and
many challenges and so much work to do.
In this, I ask for your prayers and for your help in healing our nation. And though I cannot move beyond or forget this --
indeed, I must always keep it as a caution light in my life --it is very important that our nation move forward.
I am very grateful for the many, many people --clergy and ordinary citizens alike --who have written me with wise counsel.
I am profoundly grateful for the support of so many Americans who somehow through it all seem to still know that I care
about them a great deal, that I care about their problems and their dreams. I am grateful for those who have stood by me
and who say that in this case and many others, the bounds of presidency have been excessively and unwisely invaded.
That may be. Nevertheless, in this case, it may be a blessing, because I still sinned. And if my repentance is genuine
and sustained, and if I can maintain both a broken spirit and a strong heart, then good can come of this for our country
as well as for me and my family. (Applause)
The children of this country can learn in a profound way that integrity is important and selfishness is wrong, but God can
change us and make us strong at the broken places. I want to embody those lessons for the children of this country --for
that little boy in Florida who came up to me and said that he wanted to grow up and be President and to be just like me. I
want the parents of all the children in America to be able to say that to their children.
A couple of days ago when I was in Florida a Jewish friend of mine gave me this liturgy book called ``Gates of
Repentance.'' And there was this incredible passage from the Yom Kippur liturgy. I would like to read it to you: ``Now is
the time for turning. The leaves are beginning to turn from green to red to orange. The birds are beginning to turn and are
heading once more toward the south. The animals are beginning to turn to storing their food for the winter. For leaves,
birds and animals, turning comes instinctively. But for us, turning does not come so easily. It takes an act of will for us to
make a turn. It means breaking old habits. It means admitting that we have been wrong, and this is never easy. It means
losing face. It means starting all over again. And this is always painful. It means saying I am sorry. It means recognizing
that we have the ability to change. These things are terribly hard to do.
But unless we turn, we will be trapped forever in yesterday's ways. Lord help us to turn, from callousness to sensitivity,
from hostility to love, from pettiness to purpose, from envy to contentment, from carelessness to discipline, from fear to
faith. Turn us around, O Lord, and bring us back toward you. Revive our lives as at the beginning, and turn us toward
each other, Lord, for in isolation there is no life.''
I thank my friend for that. I thank you for being here. I ask you to share my prayer that God will search me and know my
heart, try me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any hurtfulness in me, and lead me toward the life
everlasting. I ask that God give me a clean heart, let me walk by faith and not sight. I ask once again to be able to love
my neighbor --all my neighbors --as my self, to be an instrument of God's peace; to let the words of my mouth and the
meditations of my heart and, in the end, the work of my hands, be pleasing. This is what I wanted to say to you today.
Thank you. God bless you.

DC CHILD DEATH CASES UNDER INVESTIGATION -
Newly appointed DC Medical Examiner Jonathan L. Arden has announced that he has reopened medical investigations
into the causes of death for five District children. The Washington Post recently analyzed data on the deaths of 2,379 DC
children younger than five between 1993-95 and found that 263 were listed as "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome" or that
they had died of "undetermined" causes. It is believed that dozens of these children likely were killed, either directly or
through abuse. DC's child death average is 12.5% of all deaths, compared to a national average of 2.4%. Craig
Futterman, associate director of one of the Metro areas two main pediatric trauma centers stated: "There is a lot more
child abuse than people think there is. It crosses all economic and ethnic lines." Intercede accordingly.
"OVERNIGHT POLLS" SPUR WHITE HOUSE TO LOOK FOR DEAL; ADMISSION OF PERJURY KEY
OBSTACLE - With presidential pollster Mark Penn saying that polls show public support for the President rising, and
support for impeachment falling, the White House signaled yesterday that the President might be open to a "censure
deal." The President's lawyers aggressively lobbied to discredit the Starr report with members of the House Judiciary
Committee, and Deputy Chief of Staff, John Podesta, began functioning as "point person" for White House aides working
to shore up support for President Clinton among Democratic members of Congress. Back-channel contacts with
respected Republican leaders such as former President George Bush, Sen. Bob Dole and Sen. Howard Baker were also
initiated. While the Constitution does not mandate Congress to reprimand or censure the President, the White House is
looking "to negotiate a punishment." A number of leading Democrats who initially were very critical of the President now
advocate a "quick" solution. Some, sounding like the President is only being accused of some sort of minor "moving
violation," are recommending that he be fined or have his future pension payments reduced. Admission of "not telling the
whole truth under oath," perjury, remains a key sticking point. The Starr Report alleges five counts of perjury. A senior
member of Mr. Clinton's defense team told CBS News yesterday: "Clearly, the President is not going to give up the
technical argument that he did not lie under oath." Another exasperated Democratic helping in the President's defense
told CBS: "Everybody read right through that [four hour] testimony, it's so...obvious. It's an impasse." The Associated
Press reported on Monday that more than 130 prominent U.S. newspapers have now called for President Clinton's
resignation.
HOUSE JUDICIARY LEADERS DRAFTING TERMS FOR AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY -

Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said yesterday that "the panel will make a decision
about advancing to a formal impeachment inquiry after receiving a briefing from its lawyers in the next several days."
Other Judiciary members said that "work has begun on drafting the terms of an impeachment inquiry," legislation which
would empower the panel to conduct its own investigation of the evidence in the case.
PRAY AS PRESIDENT, CONGRESS AND NATION ARE IN "VALLEY OF DECISION" -

Clearly, a plumb line has dropped into the President's life, the Congress, the Church, the heart of every American, and
into the world community. (Amos 7:7-9) While we might offer thanksgiving that a national debate on morality has been
triggered, these tragic days are revealing how deeply we have already descended into pagan moral relativism. Multitudes
of parents struggle to shield, instruct and encourage their children. Statesmen who have taken principled stands are now
under great political pressure to compromise. While the temptation to "tune out" is appealing to us all, as intercessors
we must keep a faith-filled focus and must keep investing prayer into the appropriate spheres of delegated authority, and
into each step of a process mandated by our Constitution which must run its appointed course. At this point, the legal
ball is in the court of the House Judiciary Committee. Next to declaring war, there is no more sobering or serious task
that the Constitution mandates toward Members of Congress than that of possible Impeachment. It therefore seems
appropriate that we would now earnestly pray for each member of the House Judiciary Committee by name: Chairman
Henry Hyde (R-IL), Ranking Democrat John Conyers (D-MI), James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), Bill McCollum (R- FL),
George Gekas (R-PA), Howard Coble (R-NC), Lamar Smith (R-TX), Elton Gallegly (R-CA), Charles Canady (R-FL), Bob
Inglis (R-SC), Bob Goodlatte (R- VA), Steve Buyer (R-IN), Ed Bryant (R-TN), Steve Chabot (R-OH), Bob Barr (R- GA), Bill

or cremation of 114 unclaimed or unidentified bodies, some of which had been in the Morgue since 1994. New policy will

NEWLY RELEASED EVIDENCE CONTAINS ALLEGATIONS OF WHITE HOUSE "SECRET POLICE"

The Chicago Tribune disclosed today that the final batch of Judge Starr's evidence presented to Congress contains grand
jury testimony by former Presidential advisor Dick Morris stating that he believes "the White House maintained a ‘secret
police operation to go around and intimidate women' who had some kind of secret relationship with the President." Morris
identified private investigators Terry Lenzner and Jack Pallidono and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Lindsey.
Lindsey repeatedly claimed "executive privilege" and refused to answer grand jury questions about his meetings with
Vernon Jordon, his own Lewinsky-related conversations with the President, and with Clinton's personal lawyer Robert
Bennett. Morris also testified that he personally knew of two instances in which the White House had leaked information
to discredit individuals. Today's Washington Post reported that newly released transcripts of the testimony by the
President's personal secretary, Betty Currie, show her becoming more and more "forgetful" with each grand jury
appearance, and record that she was so busy taking copious notes that she slowed the grand jury down at times.
ACTIVISTS TO AIR TV ADS FOR PRESIDENT / BRUTAL ELECTION CYCLE EXPECTED

A coalition of AFL-CIO, other unions, and liberal activist groups such as Norman Lear's People for the American Way,
have announced that they will channel at least $4 million into TV ads supporting President Clinton and accusing
Republicans of pursuing personal scandal at the expense of issues. This air campaign will work in tandem with the White
House's "fast response" politics, begun in 1992. Every morning at 11:00 AM a phone call is placed from the White House
to two dozen Democrat and liberal strategists, lobbyists, consultants and pollsters. Marching orders are issued, and the
propaganda line for the day executed.
HOUSE REVIEWING USE OF NIXON WATERGATE IMPEACHMENT RULES

Congress' approach in the 1974 Watergate impeachment hearings is being viewed as a model, would use the exact
same text, and simply replace the name Richard M. Nixon with William J. Clinton. The previous panel "received authority
to investigate fully and completely whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its
Constitutional power to impeach the President." Democrats are in a dilemma arguing the inquiry should be limited to
Starr's evidence, yet insisting the House follow standards that guided the committee in 1974 under Democrat Rep. Peter
Rodino. They are also caught between first asking that the review of evidence not be "hurried," and now calling for an end
after a 30-day period.

IRAQ CLOSE TO ATOMIC BOMB CAPABILITY

The Washington Post reported today that both U.S. government and UN sources confirm that UN arms inspectors
reported to the UN in 1996 and again in 1997 that they had credible intelligence indicating that Iraq built and has
maintained three or four devices lacking only cores of enriched uranium to make 20-kiloton nuclear weapons. These
disclosures, the Post said, "raise new questions about the policies and public assessments of the Clinton Administration
and the International Atomic Energy Commission".

STRATEGIC OCTOBER 2 FIRST FRIDAY FASTING & PRAYER

Join with tens of thousands this Friday in corporate intercession for:
DELIVERANCE FROM TEMPTATION - Pray for an increased sensitivity to the prompting and warnings of the Holy Spirit
and for a more immediate halt from entering into temptation - in you and your family, pastors and leaders, and fellow
believers in your local church and area. (Mt 26:41; Lk 11:13; 1 Cor 2:13, 10:13; Heb 5:14; Jas 1:12-15)
CLERGY APPRECIATION MONTH - October is Clergy Appreciation Month. Offer thanksgiving for your pastor(s) and the
believing Church leaders of your area. Pray that they be encouraged, granted a growing revelation of Christ, protected and
prospered. Intercede for the conversion or removal of unbelieving, apostate and heretical clergy, seminary professors and
ministry workers.
JUDGE STARR'S REPORT TO CONGRESS - Intercede for a full, just and merciful resolution to all legal matters
contained in Judge Starr's Report to Congress. Pray that Congress' inquiry into whether or not there are grounds for
impeachment "be guided by the conscience of the Constitution" and that all Members of Congress "place concerns for
the common good above any partisan or personal interest," as exhorted by Senator Lieberman and other officials.
FOREIGN POLICY/NATIONAL DEFENSE - Repent for moral compromise in the Church, and the loss of moral authority
in our Executive Branch which has given rise to an unprincipled and inconsistent U.S. foreign policy, and which has
weakened, demoralized and placed the military and U.S. citizenry in jeopardy and under increased threat of terrorist
attacks. Intercede for forgiveness and mercy, and that the Lord still grant a "canopy" of protection over our nation, the
men and women in our Armed Forces, and all U.S. citizens, both at home and abroad.

WASHINGTON, DC CITY
BEHIND IN Y2K COMPLIANCE; HOSPITALS CONCERNED -
Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Rep. Thomas Davis (R-VA), Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) and Sen
Christopher Dodd (D-CT) have been conducting hearings and on-site meetings to determine the
District's Year 2000 Y2K computer problems. Unlike neighboring jurisdictions in Maryland and
Virginia which began Year 2000 computer repair efforts at least two years ago, DC did not focus in
earnest on the problem until this past June. Of the city's 336 computer systems in 75 agencies, only
25 percent are confirmed free of Y2K flaws. While it is estimated that $139 million or more is needed
to correct problems in the District, the city has budgeted $22 million, and has spent only $8.5 million to
date. Senators Bennett and Dodd met with DC hospital emergency and intensive care officials
recently who expressed grave concern over the situation. Intercede accordingly.

CLINTON SPOKESMAN McCURRY ADMITS TO FALSITY AND APOLOGIZES AS HE DEPARTS;
OTHER TOP WHITE HOUSE AIDES LEAVING -
In a final interview with reporters last Friday, departing White House spokesman Mike McCurry stated:
"I know that at times I came up short. I know at times that I didn't have the right information. Frankly, the
President misled me, too, so I came here and misled you on occasion. And that was grievously wrong
of him, but he's acknowledged that." White House Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles announced Monday
that he will depart this month. Senior White House Advisor Rahm Emanuel said he will leave on
October 19 and return to Chicago. Speculation also continues as to whether Treasury Secretary
Robert Rubin may soon resign. Jockeying is underway over who should succeed Bowles, with Deputy
White House Chief of Staff John Podesta being a chief contender.
JUDICIARY PANEL VOTE SETS STAGE FOR FULL HOUSE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY VOTE
TOMORROW; DEMOCRATS UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE FROM WHITE HOUSE -
The House Judiciary Committee's 21-16 vote along party lines on Tuesday evening initiated the
writing of another chapter of U.S. history, and put a spotlight on the philosophical gulf between
Republicans and Democrats, and on the humanist/biblical ethical/moral divisions in the nation. The
panel's chief investigative counsel appointed by chairman Henry Hyde (R-IL), David Schippers, a
registered Democrat and veteran Chicago mob and Mafia prosecutor, dismissed two charges in the
Starr Report, but outlined evidence for 15 possible grounds for the impeachment of President Clinton.
The matter is scheduled to come before the full House as soon as tomorrow. Assuming House
approval, the Judiciary would be authorized and empowered to launch its own investigation,
subpoena witnesses, hold hearings, evaluate evidence and determine whether or not to draft formal
articles of impeachment and move the matter into the Senate for a trial, with Supreme Court Chief
Justice Rehnquist presiding and the Senators assembled and acting as jury.
Reports circulated last week of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's lobby efforts with House
Democrats, including the possible withholding of campaign funding from members who voted in favor
of moving forward with an open impeachment inquiry. New White House Spokesman Joe Lockhart
denied any such "threats" or "instruction" at his news conference yesterday, but did admit that the
President is personally leading extensive last minute efforts to urge House Democrats to vote against
the open-ended impeachment measure. The Washington Post reported this morning that Vice
President Gore has also been enlisted in last-minute lobby efforts. Democratic leadership estimates
that some 50 of the 206 Democratic House members might vote for a broad and open-ended
impeachment inquiry. Democratic leaders are publicly calling tomorrow's balloting "a vote of
conscience."
CONGRESS FACING FLURRY OF ACTIVITY AS FRIDAY ADJOURNMENT APPROACHES;

SHUTDOWN OF GOVERNMENT STILL POSSIBLE -
Lawmakers are racing to conclude legislative business, adjourn for the year this Friday, and return to
their home districts and fall election campaigns. If Congress fails to send the annual individual
spending measures or a combined "omnibus" appropriations measure to Clinton for signing, or if the
President vetoes their measures, it could prompt a repeat of the 1995 government shut-down. The
Friday deadline and announced White House veto threats is causing many pro-family and pro-life
provisions to be dropped. Pray as White House and Congressional leaders meet today, negotiate to
resolve disputes over foreign abortion funding, the census, International Monetary Fund, budget
spending and other issues.

PRESIDENT ENDS FUNDRAISERS WEEK BEFORE ELECTIONS

After appearing at more than 100 Democratic fundraisers, and reportedly meeting with his Cabinet
just twice during the same period, President Clinton will now keep an unusually low profile with no last-
minute campaign swings in support of Democratic candidates. Instead, White House aides said the
President will appear in planned Rose Garden ceremonies to advertise Democratic policies. Mrs.
Clinton has been engaged in an intense campaign schedule, appearing at numerous election rallies.

MEDIA BIAS TRIGGERING REVERSE-HATE DEMONSTRATIONS

Even though Christian leaders and pro-family organizations have decried the murder of openly-gay
Matthew Shepard in Wyoming, and all leading national pro-life organizations have denounced the
recent shooting of abortionist Dr. Barnett Slepian in Amherst, New York, many mainstream news
organizations have failed to present statements by these leaders. Even the Web sites of the major
news outlets often do not even offer links to groups that would balance the matters. The ABC News
web site, for example, provided links to two pro-abortion organizations and to only one pro-life site,
one that supports violence. CNN's web site links only to one pro-life site, one that has responded
weakly to violence. MSNBC does not offer links to any of the major national pro-life organizations.
Prayer is being requested by pro-life, traditional-values candidates and the leaders of biblical-values
organizations. Gary Bauer of the Family Research Council reported that he has received death
threats, and that more than 200 gay rights activists protested a recent speech he gave in Michigan.
"Conversion Therapy = License to kill gays," read the sign of one protestor. Homosexual and lesbian
activists also protested Mr. Bauer's speech at a crisis pregnancy center in Melbourne, Florida, last
night. Pray for the protection of traditional-values candidates and leaders, and for full objective media
coverage and debate of these important issues.
VOTER TURN-OUT KEY FACTOR IN NEXT TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS

Next Tuesday, November 3, U.S. voters will elect an entire House of Representatives, one third of the
Senate, many state Governors, and scores of other local and state officials. Vitally important Same-
sex Marriage, euthanasia and gambling referenda are also on the ballots in a number of states.
Observers report that a good number of Congressional races are presently very close. Pro-life,
biblical- family and traditional-values candidates have had to withstand heavily-funded biased ad
campaigns which have tended to distort, smear and misrepresent their records, character and
motives. Let us remain in earnest prayer until polls close next Tuesday, November 3, asking the Lord
to show mercy, granting favor to godly pro-life and pro-family candidates. The study of U.S. election
history shows that many, many election outcomes have hinged on a handful of votes. Averell
Harriman's gubernatorial election in 1954, George McGovern's senatorial campaign in 1960, and
John Warner's run for the Senate in 1978 - all were decided by one vote or less per precinct. The
Richard Nixon, John Kennedy presidential contest of 1960 was determined by an average of only
one-half vote per precinct nationwide. The U.S. is presently suffering from one of the most deplorable
rates of voter turn-out in its history. This is true even among Bible-believing Christians. Offer prayers of
repentance for the lack of civic duty and responsibility being shown by so many U.S. Christians in this
regard, and pray that the Lord convict believers nation-wide of their sacred responsibility to steward
their freedom to vote by doing so next Tuesday. Plan voting into your own schedule and let us remind
our Christian friends to do the same.

I Have Stood Outside

William Hawkins
December 18th,1998
I have stood outside the door knocking.
I have spoken words of encouragement.
I have by My Spirit come in power inside your services.
I have poured forth living water in great rivers.
I have healed your sick.
I have with gladness received those who have died
And I have provided for your welfare.
I have been your ABBA Father..
And how did you receive Me?
With open arms ? NO!
With open Minds ? NO!
With open hearts ? NO!
What shall I do, Oh what shall I do ?
I have given of Myself in riches, in times of need and in times of reflection and still you do not come.
I have given you My SON, My special Gifts and sent Apostles and Prophets in your midst and still you
do not come.. What more can I give ?
Since your parents decided to turn from Me in the Garden, all I have done is to work to bring them
home to Myself..
I sent Moses a man of No Self Esteem and they tested Me many years in the wilderness.
I sent Elijah and Elisha and raised men from the dead when they touched their dried bones, but still
they do not hear nor heed My words and My call.
I sent Prophets, yes many and you killed them between the Porch and the Altar--Yes even before they
could bring my message.
I sent to you MY own SON in the body of a man and you crucified him upon My Holy hill and still you do
not come..
I sent My own Spirit among you to embrace you, to love you, to pour water upon you and to wash you
with it. He brought gifts to you, He restored the Apostles and the Prophets to your
midst, He performed Miracles in your midst, even before your eyes, He provided and cared and loved
and all He asked, Yes all I asked was simple obedience and love...
My hand is bloody from knocking upon the church door and still there is No response.
My heart is heavy from your lack of obedience to follow where My Spirit was trying to lead you.
Oh yes you can sit and define and categorize and make your assumptions of what I have been doing.
You can define it by Stages and Phases and Sections.
You can look for those parts that suit your needs; that fulfill your desires, that fit your dreams----BUT
I AM STILL GOD
I AM STILL LORD
I AM STILL YOUR ONLY SAVIOR.
And you have Missed, Yes Missed what I have been trying to show you.
Children, My children--The day is at hand, the hour is late, My coming is only moments away and you
are still not at labor in the fields!
You are still awash in the river of self-consumption, self-pride and selfishness. My river was to wash
you clean from those things, Holy, Spotless, , a Bride worthy of the GROOM.
Oh yes the Mantle of My SON covers your sins, yes they are gone, white as snow, But, you are still in
your own clothing, seeking only for self and not looking to me with the Love in your
eyes and hearts that I desire..
I have passed through this ;land now twice, knocking on every door that lifts up my name. Most have
not even heard me. My Spirit has been in your midst, drawing you with signs and
wonders, but still you choose not to hear..
To be obedient only meant you had to lay your self and your fears aside and follow me in love..
Your love for me and obedience to me would have overflowed to the world around you and suddenly
they would have seen me in you.. The image of Me in you would have drawn them to
My house and many would be saved and you would have received the great revival that you ask and
Pray for.
But so many have sought and waited for My Spirit to BLOW through the house and to knock its
occupants to their knees, to force them in some way to love me and be obedient to me. Yes I
did do this in some places and I shall do it again, but can you not see that I desired them to come by
themselves with a love and desire to follow me, without me pushing them in any
way..Not because my presence and power knocked them to their knees, but simply because they
OPENED the door when I knocked.
In your hearts I hear the question--HOW DID I KNOCK ??

Remember the days I came into your worship services and many cried out to me.
I knocked then.
Remember the times I came with laughter and joy.?
I knocked then
And the times My presence was so sweet and peaceful ?
I knocked then.
The times I brought the river of refreshing and you bathed in it, again and again.
I knocked then also..
What was it you wanted --you ask..
Oh how are you so blind as not to see the only things I want or ever wanted was for you to love me and
to obey me. Is that not your desire for your children also ??
To follow me during those times would require an act of faith on your part, a great leap from the
mountainside into my waiting arms. I would have caught you, I would have been there anytime you act
in faith..
At that time an act of faith would have been to declare my presence. To gather together daily to
proclaim your love for Me, to seek to follow Me, wherever I would lead you. That is the obedience I
seek and the Love I so desire from you..
You would have grown closer to Me each day as you loved Me in prayer and in song and worship. I
would have clothed you then during those times with My robes, My crowns and My rings and many
beautiful things..
If I had chosen then to lead you into what you call "Revival" I could have done so.
If Not; you would have lost nothing.. Oh no My child you would have gained what so few see. Yes you
would have seen the Glory of the Lord in your midst, the express radiance from the throne. My power,
My Love, My Grace, My Mercy, My Truth and of course My SON>>
There is still time;

Act Now.
Do Not Tarry
I Love You --Says the Lord.
COME!

coming upon the world. I am deeply saddened as I watch judgment fall upon your nation, but I have warned all who would
listen for over a quarter of a century. Have you listened? Have you understood? Have you believed what I have said?
Believe Me when I say that My WORDS WILL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID: FOR THEY CANNOT RETURN TO ME
EMPTY. I spoke and the world came into being. MY WORDS ARE NO LESS POWERFUL TODAY. I have judged your
nation, for her sins are so blatant as to have surpassed even those of Sodom and Gomorrah. They have even surpassed
the sins of the people in Noah's time. I promised that I would never flood the entire earth again and I shall not, but many
may wish I had.
The blood of millions of innocents has been crying out to Me for years and years. DID YOU BELIEVE THAT I WOULD
STAND BY AND ALLOW THIS INCREDIBLE SLAUGHTER? It is up to Me alone to decide when any human of any age
shall die. IT IS NOT UP TO MAN TO PLAY GOD! There is no turning back. Again I say that I have judged your nation and
I do not expect you to ask Me to change this decision. THESE ARE MY WORDS AND THEY SHALL BE
ACCOMPLISHED AND VERY SOON! I have told you before and I will tell you again, YOU MAY ONLY PRAY FOR
MERCY. Your only safety is UNDER THE WINGS OF THE ALMIGHTY. PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD!
MAKE STRAIGHT A HIGHWAY FOR YOUR GOD! PREPARE YOUR HEARTS; PREPARE YOUR HOMES; AND
PREPARE YOUR FAMILIES
Soon you will watch your nation totally crumble. YOU WILL SEE ANARCHY AS NEVER BEFORE. Men's hearts will fail
them for fear because of the things they see coming upon them. If you are not close to Me and trusting Me completely,
your hearts will also fail you.
There is not enough paper to list the sins of your nation and of her leaders. In the day of judgment even Babylon and
Sodom and Gomorrah will be shocked as the list is read. BELIEVE THIS!
The church, My Body, has lived too much like the world. They have excused repulsive sins when there is no excuse. As
a people you have backed up and backed up until your back is now against the wall. I say to you Beloved, look up and
you will find that it is not a wall but the CROSS OF CHRIST. Now you must choose, either you will fall away or YOU
WILL TAKE YOUR STAND BENEATH THE CROSS. THERE IS NO MORE MIDDLE GROUND. THERE WILL BE NO
MORE BACKING UP. THERE ARE NO MORE EXCUSES. Soon there will be no one left in the valley of decision. The
choice is yours. Decide this day whom you will serve. If you will serve Me then rededicate your lives to Me and TAKE UP
YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME. Decide to serve Me with all your heart, and all your mind, and all your body and soul.
I WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS! BE VERY CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE STANDING UNDER THE WINGS OF THE
ALMIGHTY WHEN JUDGMENT FALLS. AGAIN I SAY, THE DECISION IS YOURS!

What Is Happening In 98
Jim Rapalje
February 23, 1998
Dear Bro.,
I got this letter from my friend, forwarded from a mutual missionary friend.
Then I was reading the newest articles on your prophecy site, and notice how many deal with " what the Lord is doing in
98' "
Let me be so bold to say, that if you REALLY want to know what God is doing yesterday, today, tomorrow, then read
this missionary's letter. That is what GOD is doing while most of the church ( including myself and you ) are sitting on
their butt WAITING for what God is going to do, and waiting to see how many goose bumps can be raised in 98, and
waiting for great prophetic knowledge and the next " great wave " of God ! God have mercy on us all !
I dare you to print this, my brother. Let it convict others as it has me!
Jim Rapalje
Dear Tammi;
I received a disk of e-mail from Bangalore today. But the enemy attacked it and can't read any the mail on it. After 30
minutes and every computer trick in the book. I was finally able to read the directory. There they were, my beautiful
letters right before my eyes...unreadable. So if you wrote to me between Feb 8-10th, please do so again... miss you.
I have made it through what has had to have been the worst 24 hours Illness have experienced in many years. I am still
weak and on the mend but there is definitely improvement. I had some milk coffee yesterday morning at a shop. I don't
think the milk had been brought to a boil, just heated. As shortly there after was going down hill. had fever, chills,
abdominal cramps and diarrhea for over 24hours. The ladies here at "the palace" have been wonderful. Ruby has been up
here to the roof (where my room is) checking on me and all the children have been praying for Auntie Paula.
The Palace, as it is called, is a large building by Indian standards. So large it is called the Palace. It was owned by a
very evil man, (so the story gos) who did evil to the villagers. When he died no one would come near the building because
they believed it was full devils. (probably was). Anyway, it was bought several years ago and turned into a childrens home
by Guna and Victoria. It is a very old, very big building with crumbling walls and floors. And is in need many repairs. In
God's good time.
I have been working monday thru saturday, 3 hours each afternoon, with Dr. Ashok in the next village. It has proved to be
an awesome learning experience. All the Indian drugs have different names than those in the US so he is instructing me
in pharmacology, local diseases and conditions as well as Indian culture concerning medicine. He respects me and my
education and therefore gives me quite a bit autonomy. He is very knowledgable and a pretty good Dr. I have seen worse
in the US. The first thing I had to get used to was unclean conditions in his clinic. It really is filthy. No gloves anywhere,
trash on the floor, boiling used needles and using them again. At least he boils his. We had two abscess' today that had
to be drained due to injections by other Dr's. with dirty needles. Today our second patient was a boy about five years old.
He was run over by a tractor. There was nothing we could do to save him. He died. I have never had to place the body of
a dead child in a parents arms and watch them walk away... shattered. That is how death is handled here and one the
things I am here to learn. It tore me up inside but God gave me the grace and strength to maintain outward emotional
stability and I am grateful. One patient was gored by a bull turning a Hindu festival. Fortunately it was minor and we just
sewed him up. Most of the rest of the cases were illnesses that could be almost directly related to malnutrition. Almost
every patient gets an injection of vitamin B12, along with an antibiotic. The antibiotic would be almost useless without the
vitamins to help the patients system fight the infection. I am relearning all the signs and symptoms malnutrition, ( know
the obvious) the slight ones, that I never saw in the US. Please pray for Dr. Ashok. He is a very good man. He only
charges what his patents can afford and often charges nothing. But he is Hindu. Please pray for his salvation.
Three mornings a week I spend in three different local villages. One village each day. Today I went to the village
Manawananapalli. Mary lives there. I was taken there by Raj Paul, the Pastor of the church out here. Ruby, one the
childrens workers went along to translate. Ruby and I sat with Mary in her house. (Here when a person becomes a
Christian they take a new Christian name from the Bible.) Mary is the only believer in her entire village. Her husband used
to beat her for confessing Christ. Through answered prayer he has now stopped. She can not read. Therefore; the only
time she is fed the Gospel is in church on Sunday. The people in her village persecute and ridicule her for what she
believes. She asks that we pray that there would be another believer in her village so she will have someone to pray with.
She also wants a child, she has had 9 miscarriages. While I talked and prayed with Mary villagers began collecting
outside the door and looked in as we prayed together. Meanwhile Pastor Raj Paul went and got all the children in the
village out of their Hindu School and brought them to Mary's house. And one by one began to wash and dress their
infected cuts. Many the children had multiple abbesses. There were so many that I had to get Raj Paul and Ruby to
wash wounds while I drained, treated and dressed them. Picture this... there is a crowd of about 30-40 Hindu adults
standing and watching as the Christian pastor from the church 3 miles down the road, a Christian worker from the
Childrens home, and a white Christian woman are cleaning and dressing the wounds of their Hindu children as guests of
the only Christian in their village. Mary kept herself busy fetching water and cleaning up my trash. We didn't have to say
a word. Jesus did all the talking through our hands and our love. When we were finished one woman came to me and told
me her physical ailments of which could not help. But, we told her that we would pray for her and ask the Lord Jesus
Christ to heal her. She said yes. We took her into Mary's house and we prayed. She is not saved yet, but I believe she
will be soon.
Every evening at 6 PM I tell the children a bible story. I am telling them about Moses. Then in the evenings after the
children are in bed I have been honored by being asked to lead a Bible study for the women here. I ask you to pray for
me that the Lord gives me wisdom. Ruby translates for me, she does a wonderful job, but still I must break everything
down in the simplest of terms and pray for proper translation. So, pray for Ruby's translation skills as well as for wisdom
for me.
Well that is enough for now I suppose. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love,
Paula
**** ( Paula is a 40 year old RN (nurse ) from Fayetteville, NC who has sold out for the gospel being preached in India.
She is with Calvary Chapel. That is what God is doing in 1998, my friends. Selah!!!!! )

The Church in the City

Jeff Treder
Ever since the dawn of human civilization in Mesopotamia and the Nile and Indus valleys, the city has
been the fundamental unit of human society. Nomads have always been a minority; villages are but
small and rudimentary cities; and the boundaries of nation-states are often arbitrary and changeable,
their identities confused and contentious. Jerusalem, Rome, and Constantinople are firm islands in
the ocean of historical flux.
The portrait of the church that we see in the New Testament appears to be in accord with this view of
the city as the primary unit of social organization. The earliest congregations met in homes, and later
ones in larger structures, but Paul addressed his letters to "the church of God in Corinth" (1Cor.1:2,
2Cor.1:1) and referred to "the church in Cenchrea." (Rom.16:1) Likewise the Lord addressed His
letters to "the church" in various cities of Asia Minor (Rev.2-3). Not the "churches" in a city, but the
"church," singular. Then as now, the church in a city was divided into many local congregations for
obvious practical reasons, but the Scriptural presumption evidently is that they all comprised one
church and were meant to maintain their unity in Christ.
Across the centuries, however, as the church developed and spread throughout the world, a different
pattern emerged. As Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed prophesied, the church grew like a
tree—one trunk, several limbs, many branches. There is one consequence of this growth, though,
illustrated in the diagram below, which I am certain the Lord never intended.
[diagram of a tree having grown through time, with a "cross-section" showing the status of
the church at the present time—a bunch of smallish, separate circles]
The diagram represents the development of the church through the centuries. The cross-section
represents the church’s status at any given time. The cross-section for our own day illustrates that
worldwide, or in a nation (and particularly in the United States), and even in any given city, the church
is very far from being unified. A typical congregation tends to identify itself not so much as a member
of the body of Christ in the city, but rather as a member of a particular historical, denominational
tradition. Sometimes the emphasis in self-identity, for highly separatist congregations, is on ourselves
alone, our own beliefs and practices. Sometimes the emphasis is on our own distinctive doctrines,
such as our view of church government or water baptism or baptism in the Spirit. But seldom is our
primary self-identity as a member of Christ’s body in the city.
I do not believe that denominations are an evil in themselves, any more than pews or offering plates
are. Money isn’t a root of evil, it’s the love of money (1Tim.6:10); just so with denominational
traditions. The problem is denominationalism, which has been a serious evil in the church for a long
time now. We pride ourselves on our distinctives and glory in them. We may do this with religious
flourishes, like the Pharisee praying in the temple (Luke 18:9-14), but God isn’t fooled.
There is nothing new in this—it’s the same thing for which Paul castigated the church in Corinth: "You
are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not
acting like mere men? For when one says, ‘I follow Paul,’ and another, ‘I follow Apollos,’ are you not
mere men?" (1Cor.3:3-4) Our divisions are into Calvinists and Arminians, evangelicals and
charismatics, Lutherans and Episcopalians, Southern Baptists and Conservative Baptists, sprinklers
and dunkers, kneelers and dancers, not to mention whites and blacks and Hispanics. The city church
is supposed to function like the body described in 1Cor.12, but in most cities the church is fragmented
into mutual suspicion, disapproval, and competition, and most of all mutual ignorance of one another.
The church is alienated from itself.
The Lord’s tolerance for this baptized worldliness is drawing to an end. He places a very high value on
His church’s unity. Shortly before His crucifixion, He prayed for the future church, and His focus was
not on our purity or obedience or zeal but on our unity:
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their
message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.
May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. I have given
them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one: I in them and You
in Me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that You sent Me and
have loved them even as You have loved Me." (John 17:20-23)
Paul echoed the Lord’s concern for the church’s unity: "Make every effort to keep the unity of the
Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one
hope when you were called—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is
over all and through all and in all." (Eph.4:3-6) He goes on to affirm that the five ministry gifts are
given "so that the body of Christ may be built up, UNTIL we all reach unity in the faith and in the
knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of
Christ." (v.12-13) Make no mistake, the church will reach unity and maturity—the Lord Himself
guarantees it. The reason He is running out of tolerance for our posturing and squabbling is that His
second coming is drawing near. The prophetic signs, such as those given in the Olivet Discourse, are
either already in place or close to it. And the church He comes to embrace will be "a radiant church,
without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." (Eph.5:27) On her wedding
day, the Bride will be fully prepared—purified, unified, glorified (see Rev.19:7-8).
If that wondrous Day is drawing near, however, the Spirit’s current message to the church is like a
bucket of cold water in the face: "Wake up, sleepwalker! Look at yourself, fractured and fragmented,
competing and quarreling and nevertheless doped with complacency. Now get your eyes off
yourselves and onto Me. I love you, and I have glorious and mighty things to do with you, but your
hands must be joined together and your eyes lifted up." The church has a lot of growing up to do and
not much time to do it in. It is time for judgment to begin with the household of God (1Peter 4:17), a
judgment of discipline and purification. Those who refuse to repent are in imminent danger of being
cut off as unfruitful branches. Those who do repent will become harvesters of the amazing and
unprecedented bounty which the Lord is about to bestow.
What does it mean for the church to be unified? It does not mean renouncing our traditions or our
distinctive doctrines and practices. It does mean confessing, from the heart and with the mouth, that all
these differences among ourselves are immeasurably less important than our unity in Christ—our unity
with all who worship the triune God, submit to the Bible as the inspired word of God, and confess the
lordship of the risen and exalted Christ. It does mean behaving ourselves in ways that affirm and
enhance our unity, and renouncing ways that belie and undermine it. It means thinking, speaking, and
acting such that our corporate life shows our Lord’s prophecy in John 17 to be a true and not a false
prophecy. It means sobering up and growing up. And there is no more time to waste.
The church’s growth into a great tree with many branches has its troubles, as we have seen, but it also
teems with immense promise. It is the manifestation of the kingdom of God on earth, the mustard tree
which—when we are unified—grows into a broad leafy canopy in which many birds can live
(Matt.13:31-32). It is the fruitful vine (John 15:1-8) spreading throughout the world. It is the fulfillment of
Isaiah’s glorious prophecy:
In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land
will be the pride and the glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion, who
remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living in
Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; He will cleanse the
bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of judgment and a spirit of fire. Then the Lord will
create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by
day and glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter
and shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and
rain. (4:2-6)
The canopy of smoke or leaves (two metaphors for the same thing) represents the Lord’s covering
over His people, His church, His body. In order to share in the blessings of this covering, however, the
body must come together in unity—otherwise we remain separate bare branches without leaves
(remember the cross-section in our diagram). The church in the city must see its unity as one body,
must affirm that unity, and must walk together in that unity.
Behold, how good and pleasant it is

For brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore. (Ps.133)

Incredible Visions!
Mary Easterling
From my log 5/28/98

I have spent most of the day with Him.
Beautiful and Terrible is He. When the scriptures speak of the Lord as the LIGHT of the world and that God is LIGHT they
ain't whistling Dixie!
As I lay saturated in His presence in His Spirit I saw. And I finally understood the language John used in Revelation. John
described the Father as like jasper and sardonyx. A white and red stone, so what was the Father a rock? No. He IS light,
it emanates from Him yet there is also the aspect of the blood which lends a peculiar color to the purity of the light like
an obscuring between Him and us. And they say love blinds. His body as it were is like a clear glass containing for its
fluid, light. Not just a light bulb but a light more blinding than the sun! He is bigger than the mountain ranges wider than
Texas higher than Everest.
He fills the vastness of the universe LITERALLY! My mind strained to begin to comprehend what I saw. If anyone says a
man cannot literally become drunk from the sheer intensity of His person and overwhelming sweetness and
awesomeness they are a fool! Though I gather I was not drunk per say I was behaving like it.
He burns with a fervent heat and at certain points I had to get up do something even eat. By His bidding not mine man I
was having too much fun! Then it happened and I saw the place where we will all go someday soon. A place of lights,
flashing colors like sparkling diamonds, laser like in intensity. Or like gem stones incandescently beautiful. Shimmering
paths of clear glass but light LIKE CLEAR GOLD. In a flash of sudden insight I knew why gold was used in the earthly
temple. 1) It is the closest approximation in color to pure light and 2) if the light catches it just so the shine is blinding as
it glints in full sunlight. Every color of the rainbow was there and there was the covering of souls surrounding the throne
refracting His glory.
Silver too will blind but not like gold and it is a much lighter metal and not as valuable or pure.
Everything in the temple is fashioned, as it were of pure light or rather looks like glass filled with light as a substance. It
radiates and refracts it looks impossibly as if it were made of solid light! The ark is made of such light and yes I saw it
too and touched it at His bidding. I was told to wait and write down what I had already seen before I ever touched it
though so as I returned I saw first the flooring. It is made of millions of dots or stones of light though it is smooth as
glass. It sparkles like diamonds and dazzles the eye all this takes the breath away.
The ark. It's not like the one on earth where the lid has the cherubim. No it is a rectangular bar of light guarded by these
2 giant cherubs that hold it. (See what I mean by its not like the one on earth?) To touch it when it is white with light is to
encounter and suddenly so the most intense purity there is and so much so that the human body can only stand it for a
mere moment and that as a mortal bound up in Jesus! I curled away from it and cried out or rather sort of strangled on it.
Sort of straining gnats and swallowing camels.
When I came back to it the bar was red and he bade me touch it again this time the flood of the Beloved bringing with it
every imaginable type of love from comforts to communion to joy even ecstasy it overwhelmed me.
At this point I went somewhere else and it was NOT pleasant. Hell is a dark dusty room as heaven is a sparkling jewel of
light; it is pitch black except for a single shaft of pure light from heaven that no one ever approaches. Presumably this
reminds them what they could have had if only. And there are tormenters there they tease and enflame the myriad lusts
and desires of the carnality of the souls with out Christ the desires become a burning "pain" a gnawing want teased and
egged on by the captors.
One quickly loses ones mind in this place! He yanked me out fast as I curled into ball and rolled on the bed though
seeing only in spirit touched by its madness. The madness of the soul and the place where God sheds none of Himself
save that single brilliant shaft of light. Which oddly enough stands out in the darkness but lights no more than itself and
the strict area it occupies for all around it is as black as anywhere else there. Go figure. Earth's things don't work like
that in either heaven or hell where a shaft of light would light the room somewhat but not this. Not there.

Warnings of Judgment:
Matt Lewin
Greetings in all humbleness,

I feel compelled by the Lord to commit the following words to paper as a warning to the body of impending action
by the Lord our God. Hear now what the sovereign Lord is saying to the church:
"I am the beginning and the end, the great I am, my prophets speak my truth with wisdom and great courage. I am
their shield and protector they place their trust in me, I provide for all their needs both physical and spiritual. I am
moving, when my avenger speaks all that is spoken shall be done in my name for I have blessed his hand for all
eternity, into his hand I have placed the hand of the angel of death. I have spoken it, and it shall be so. He shall obey
my will in a heart beat when I tell him to do so.
I shall be avenged, all who feign their love shall be exposed for the hypocrites that they are, the light of truth shall
expose their lies. They serve self, their carnal lust is their driving force not my spirit. They have offended my spirit,
that shall never be forgiven, they shall reap their own destruction. A place has been prepared for them, the hearts
and minds of men are an open book to me, I see all and know all, past, present and future.
I am moving, look at central America, my bowl of righteous judgements overflows, for I am the eternal, my
perception of time is different to the perception man has of time. My ways are not your ways. When my hand moves
all shall see that I am the sovereign Lord. I shall carve fear of my name on the hearts and minds of millions. I shall
send my harvesters to the fields to gather my wheat, woe to the chaff on the threshing floor of the earth my threshing
stick comes to undo all that which is of self and bring judgement on the wicked.
I now speak through my anointed prophet against the hypocrites of the American Baptist movement, how can you
even consider the inclusion of homosexuals that is an abomination to my eye, an affront to my spirit. You have
become like the Anglican church that even considered homosexuals, that truly offends me. Be careful about such
things, to let one infected with such unnatural lusts among my flock shall bring judgement on the shepherd who opens
the gate to the wolf.
But my anger burns against the leaders who would quench the gifts of my spirit, that is an abomination to my eye. I
give these gifts out of love to my children so that they may enjoy my presence and that I may manifest my love. Woe
to you, this day judgement shall fall upon you, you shall be cut off from the branch of Jesse and cast into the fire of
my wrath and judgement.
This day I also speak about India, this country is steeped in idolatry, this has caused grief to my eye, how I long for
my word to be preached to the blinded masses. Who will answer my call? Who will preach my word to the lost of
India? This day destruction has fallen on the strongholds of Hinduism and Buddhism, I shall utterly destroy Shiva and
Kali. I hold the whole continent of India in my hand.
I wish to bless India and Pakistan but great judgements and natural disasters must fall upon the masses to break the
stronghold of idolatry over this nation. How great you could be oh India, hear the call of the living God upon you. I
shall blow the wind of my spirit over your nation the wheat shall ripen.
How can a wooden elephant save you, does it make the sun beat down upon you, does it send the monsoon to
replenish the ground, does an idol bring healing? No all these things come from my hand, but all that was once so
abundant and seasonal shall change for the worse see it happens at this very hour all around you. Hear my call and
let go of your idols and come into the kingdom prepared for you since before the foundation of the world.
I tell you this India, those who listen and will stand and be counted among my beloved children shall have mercy. I
shall shower my blessings upon you, the dead shall rise, mass healings, signs and wonders shall be seen. These signs
and wonders shall be manifest in the name of my beloved son, these signs and wonders on the scale that is coming
have not been seen in your country before, nor will they again.
This is the last train India, rise and be counted, I am going to separate the sheep nations from the goat nations and
bring these nations into new pasture. Your Guru's shall be cast down and trampled under foot, let these false ones
stumble over their beards. Let their philosophies be the method of their undoing. Let them reap what they have
sown. They rely on self, not on me, if that is what they wish then so be it. I issue these warnings and all that I say
shall be carried out for I have spoken it and it shall be so. I the sovereign Lord have spoken."
The Lord confirmed the pouring out of his thoughts in this prophecy in [PROV 1:23] about words spoken over India
the Lord confirmed his word through [JER 15:19-20]. The Lord has spoken, may he be praised and glorified for all
eternity.
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words
unto you. Prov 1:23
Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand
before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them
return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. (Jeremiah 15:19)
And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but
they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the
LORD. (Jeremiah 15:20)

In A Dark And Deadly Land

Bryan Hupperts
Stop asking for mercy and pray that my judgments will come forth.
Jesus came to set captives free. I live in the United States of America which we, by motto, call, "The land of the free, the
home of the brave." After watching the news, I have come to the sad conclusion that we may be the most enslaved
people on earth, and aren't even aware of our condition. We live in a dark and deadly land poised for judgment.
My wife and I have been debating on how to educate our children. Our son is 5 and can read pretty fluently. After looking
at all of the options, we decided to homeschool. Our reasoning came from the headlines of the past few months. If David
isn't molested by his coach, if his teacher doesn't seduce him, if no one tries to hook him on drugs, if one of his
classmates doesn't go on a killing rampage, then he just might survive school to actually learn - that he is an accidental
by-product of evolution and therefore has no place in the universe.
Do you see where this is going? I fear for my son to send him to a public school. If they don't get his body, they are after
his soul. It is my job as a Christian parent to raise my kids in the fear and admonition of the Lord. My government has
betrayed me and turned enemy of Almighty God.
I found and read through a few textbooks that were used before WWII and was shocked at how many references there
were to God. They even mentioned Jesus…by name! Once this nation really feared God. When we kicked the promise of
heaven out of our schools, we invited the counsels of hell to reign.
I read an old book called "Robinson Carusoe" which was once a reading standard in our schools. It is the story about a
man who rebelled against his father and was subsequently lost at sea. It describes in detail a vision God gave him and
chronicles his personal salvation and final rescue from the island where he had been stranded. What a story! What a
book! I will read this one to David when he is a bit older. It shows so clearly how the wages of sin are death and that
forgiveness by Jesus sacrifice is precious gift from God. Today our children are inundated with textbooks that promote
the homosexual agenda and are designed to undermine personal faith. What ever happened to learning math and real
science?
When we as a nation honored the Lord, we prospered. When we raised our children in the fear and admonition of the
Lord, they prospered. When we turned from righteousness, He gave leanness to our souls while we learned to harden our
hearts all the more. We were a Christian nation and now, just a few decades later, we are now more anti-Christ than
many atheistic nations. And now I fear the judgement of God is on my country.
Everywhere I look I see the cold hand of death striking. If it isn't shootings in schools, then it is tornadoes killing in places
where tornadoes never strike. If baseball sized hail isn't striking and flattening crops, cattle, and cars, then it is rivers
flooding and sweeping away houses. If it isn't the weather, then it is killer viruses bringing judgement for immorality. If the
viruses miss you, the otherwise ordinary people suddenly go into a blind killing road rage and try to murder you.
This is the land of the free?
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach for any people. I fear that the judgments will continue striking harder
and harder. The Lord showed me that our country will be betrayed and invaded. This will happen on the West Coast and
through Mexico. He is set on humbling the USA before the eyes of the entire world. Even the godless will shake their
heads and say, "This happened because they sinned against God."
All of these things have and will come upon us because of our sin. It is a dangerous time to be alive. God is allowing us
to reap the consequences of our actions…and the world hates Him all the more for it. And if they hated him to the point
of falsely accusing him and crucifying him, will they not sooner or later hate and hunt us, His church, as well? If these
things befell the Master, why would we assume the disciples would be immune?
Jesus comforts us with this, "In the world you will have tribulation but take heart, I have overcome the world."
Remember that the Lord knows those who are His. We have a covenant with Him and he always keeps His word, and He
always keeps those who honor His Word. We do not need to live in fear of the unknown, but we can triumph is faith while
the ugly consequences of sin are manifesting themselves in our land. He will lead us to victory and keep us safe…if we
dwell moment by moment in the secret place of the Most High and place no confidence in our flesh.
Here is the word of the Lord to the USA: Stop asking for mercy and pray that my judgments will come forth.
Ask instead that in judgment I would remember mercy. Judgment is sure.

God Pours Out His Spirit On Indonesia

Jeff Hammond
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1998
Love and greetings in Christ!
A month ago the Lord gave me a vision of 1000's of hungry people travelling in mass, blocking the roads and asking for
food, and cars could not pass by without paying a "toll". I saw them moving into housing complexes and shopping
centres in mass and asking for food and if they were not given it they would then just take it. I shared this vision in a
number of churches and seminars. Annette said that she longed for the day when 1000's of Christians would "raid" a
hungry village and instead of looting would come armed with food parcels. The vision the Lord gave has only been
partially fulfilled, but it's beginning to happen.
The last several weeks newspaper headlines have read:
"Massive damage to prawn industry as thousands raid prawn farms"

"Hundreds Loot Shops and Rice Wharehouses"
"Teak forrests raided in five districts"
"Hundreds Occupy and Cultivate Golf Course"
"Half and hour after President opens Peoples Market, all Stocks Looted"
"Hundreds Loot Coffee Plantations"
"Executive Train Looted by Mobs"
"Mobs Looting Shops in Jember turn Violent"
On the economic front the reports show the situation further deteriorating:
MATARAM - "179,876 Lose their Jobs" (out of 606,400 or 31% unemployed)
UJUNG PANDANG - "165,854 Unemployed" (And in addition to that:) - "60,000
Ujung Pandang workers in Taiwan and Malaysia being sent home"
"15.4 Million Registered Unemployed"
"Millions Eat only Once or Twice a day"
"People begin eating Cattle Fodder"
"Inflation Rate of 100% is dangerous"
"Street Kids Increase 60%"
"Eight Million Children Drop Out of School"
"Airfares Rise 60%"
"Drastic Increase in Water Rates"
"Postage Prices Up 963%"
"August Crops Failing, Sharp Fall in Yield"
"Flour and Sugar Prices Uncontrollable"
"Seven Years Needed to Repair Economy"
"IMF Fears Revolution"
As you could imagine, tension is rising. Expectation of more riots is growing as people sink from disbelief to despair. In
one village, in expectation that their crops were going to fail, they destroyed just the crops!
IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME TO STRIKE INTO THE HEART OF ISLAM IT IS NOW!
Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world with 83% of 203 million being Muslim. Now is the time for us to
challenge the nation, "If the Allah of Islam is God - serve him, but if the LORD be God, then serve Him!" This is the time
for the Body of Christ to rise up and meet this challenge. In the last 2 weeks we have ministered at Ministers
Conferences and Briefings in Jakarta, Pontianak (Borneo), Ujung Pandang (Sulawesi), Jayapura (Irian Jaya), Lawang and
Bromo (East Java) to over 1200 ministers and workers, and continued to challenge on rising up to possess the land. We
have emphasized the absolute necessity of unity, prayer, a baptism of love, a fresh anointing, a compassion for the lost,
a commitment unto death and a strategy born of the Holy Spirit. We are excited at the response. God's people are
starting to wake up and to stir at the challenge the Holy Spirit is bringing into the Land.
This last week in one of the homes of the young people boarding with some other young guys, the Holy Spirit came down
in an amazing way and all except one were saved and filled with the Spirit. The other one was a devout Moslem and he
mocked them for "speaking in tongues". However the next day while he was praying (in his normal 5x a day Islamic
routine), the Holy Spirit came upon him and he began to speak in tongues. Amazed he called his friends and said,
"what's happening to me?" and they said it was the Holy Spirit. Then he saw Jesus standing there saying "Put your trust
in Me!" and then Jesus went to walk off, and so he grabbed Him around the legs and confessed that he was a Christian.
He was so excited with what had happened he contacted his relatives, some of whom are hajies, and shared with them
what was happening. There were then demonic manifestations, and so he called one of the church workers (also an ex
Moslem) who told him how to proceed. He then took authority in the name of Jesus, and the love of God came down and
they all got saved. All during this last week.
NATIONAL FAST FOR 40 DAYS - ROUND TWO - 7th AUGUST - 15th SEPTEMBER
Round One will conclude on the 9th August. Many who had not responded to the call for a national fast have now
responded and so there will a second round including the whole of Irian Jaya, who have been caught up in recent times
with separatist movements (very popular) and the killing of 33 students by the military. Many others will join in with them.
We are pulling down the strongholds over this nation, destroying the curses and releasing the blessing of God. This
nation is going to be transformed by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is none other who can help them. As the
Lord said in the time of famine faced by Isaac in Gen 26:2, "Do not go down to Egypt!" Egypt will not provide an answer
to feed 80 million starving people - that's the prospect over the next 6 months. Only God can help this nation. If the IMF
sends help it only adds to the national debt. Psalm 20:1-2 is what we need!
Today in services there were 100+ new converts in the various services in the church (there are 18 services for the day),
and the church is now nearly 6000 strong. There have been 1000 added to the church since the crisis broke out. So
during this time of prayer and fasting we are seeing the Lord do some mighty things.
THE HEADHUNTERS OF BORNEO
While in Pontianak we ministered to some who had been involved in the cannibalism of this last year. We also traveled
into the interior to where massacres occurred and prayed over those places. Villages of the Madurese which were totally
destroyed have now been occupied by the Dayaks. They are still very much under the power of darkness but we
exercised our authority and claimed these regions. We experienced an oppressive attack against the team as Satan
tried to drive a wedge in, and our meetings were stoned. We knew we were in the enemy's territory, but we claimed the
promise of the Lord, that wherever we place our feet, He will give us that land. We have claimed the land, prayed over the
pastors, laid hands on them, anointed them and released them into the victory of Christ. 140 pastors and church workers
attended.
In our previous newsletter we mentioned how there was a reconciliation between the Dayak Pastor and a Madurese
Pastor. Well the Madurese Pastor 2 days ago shared his testimony with me, and today faxed it through. After making
reconciliation with the Dayaks, it released a new wave of grace in his own church. A Dayak sister in his congregation felt
she had to go to a Madurese and apologize for the massacre and cannibalism, so she found a Maduran, a Moslem, and
for 2 hours was able to share Christ and make peace. She, and two other young people in the Church have now
committed themselves to missionary training to reach out to the Moslems. Praise His wonderful Name!
MIRACLE IN JAYAPURA
Irian Jaya was ripe. With the turmoil, not only of famine (several hundred have already died of starvation), but also the
growing separatist movement (battles going on while we were there), people are desperate and calling out to the Lord. As
we ministered on the Curse of God that has come upon the nation and how only in Christ through unity in repentance and
faith can we change the history of the nation, break the curse, release the blessings and see revival in the land. The Holy
Spirit came down in a mighty way. One pastor who had caused a deep split 15 years ago and had refused to talk with
the leaders in his former fellowship for all that time. Many efforts had been made for reconciliation but he had refused to
even meet with them, but as the Holy Spirit came down he broke down and wept and confessed his sin and asked for
forgiveness. It was a joy to see them hugging and forgiving each other and committing to work together for the unity of the
Body of Christ. They all said it was a miracle! God is doing some wonderful things. And He sure is!
CONFERENCES IN EAST JAVA
At Lawang 600 ministers were gathered and although nothing dramatic occurred, there was a tremendous response to
the message and they decided to set up ministers prayer cells all over East Java to build a wall of unity and to begin
possessing the gates.
GERMANY - USA - AUSTRALIA
For the next 9 weeks we will be travelling through Germany, USA and Australia to challenge the Body of Christ to the
danger of the time here in Indonesia, and how this is the time to rock the boat of Islam and to open the gates and let the
King of Glory come in. For this reason we are very keen to meet with groups of ministers and to share with them what
the Lord is doing. Annette and Ruth will be travelling together with me and we will appreciate your prayer support. Our
Email line will continue to operate so you can still keep in touch with us.
Yours for Christ,
Jeff, Annette and Ruth Hammond <jeff@link.net.id>
PS. Riots are predicted to break out again soon - in August, and maybe even tomorrow! So please be praying!

Jesus Is In The Line Tonight

by Gwen Mansini
JESUS IS IN THE LINE TONIGHT
I want to share something that happened on Saturday night that I will never forget. My husband, Charlie, and I attended
the 8th anniversary banquet for Charity Mission International (an inner-city church in Creighton Court) in Richmond,
Virginia. Wellington Boone was the guest speaker for the banquet and two other occasions during their anniversary
weekend.
This was a very elegant banquet at the Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown Richmond, and we were on the second floor.
Beautiful tables, candles, linens, and a fabulous food buffet. I am saying all that to set the scene. When it was time for
our table to get in line for the food, Charlie was talking to someone, so I got in line. I was the last one in the line, but
when I turned around, there was a man standing there in work clothes and a baseball cap. He said to me, "Is this
something special?" I replied, "Yes." Then he said, "Is the food for anyone?" -- meaning can just anybody get the food. I
asked the man if he worked at the hotel and he said, "No, I need a job."
As it dawned on me what God was doing, I told the man to wait there and I would be right back. I got Pastor Don
Coleman and told him what was happening, and he came over and talked to the man and invited the man to fix himself a
plate from the buffet. He sat at one of the tables for a good portion of the evening, but at sometime, I noticed he was
gone.
This experience was overwhelming for me, as I remembered the scripture from Matt. 25:35-40, "for I was hungry and you
gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; . . . I say to you, inasmuch as
you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."
I had a strong sense that "Jesus was in the line tonight." Let me explain:
In our local newspaper, "The Richmond Time-Dispatch", just a few days before I had read an incredible article about a
homeless shelter in Roanoke, Virginia where everyone who stays there has to do some kind of work -- sweeping the
floors, answering the phone, or something. A homeless man from the streets of New York City had wandered into
Roanoke and ended up in this shelter and being a painter, he asked if he could paint the wall in the shelter. The staff had
no idea that the man was an artist and watched as four days passed while this man painted a life-size mural of people
standing in a line waiting to get a meal.
The thing that was so impacting about the mural is that the 43 year old artist named Mark Reynolds included a picture of
Jesus standing in the line and he named the mural "Jesus Is In The Line Tonight." Mark also included a picture of himself
facing the viewer of the mural. He has since left the shelter and gone back to New York City but he left a picture that no
one who sees it will ever forget.
Now, you can understand why I was so touched by what happened on Saturday night. I know God was pleased when the
man who got in the line at the hotel was treated with such love and compassion. My prayer is that we will be sensitive to
recognize that Jesus is all around us in the needs of others that He has given us the means to meet.

Have You Installed Love?

Not just another customer service phone call.......
Service Rep: Hello, you have reached the Heart Systems Software
Company help desk. How may I help you?
Customer: I just received your latest program, LOVEv4.0...you know....the freeware. I don't understand
it. Can tell me how to install it?
Service Rep: Sure thing ma'am. Do you have the installation disk and instructions with you?
Customer: Yes I do, but first can you tell me what the program does?
Service Rep: Sure thing ma'am. LOVE is a unique program, there is no other like it in the world.
LOVE attaches to your operating system and runs silently in the background, you will never see LOVE
on your monitor or your toolbar, but you will notice its affect on every application you may have. It
makes the good programs run smoother and greatly restricts and/or deletes the bad ones.
Customer: Wow! That sounds great. How does LOVE make my machine run smoother?
Service Rep: Well, good sound files, like COMPLIMENT.WAV, ENCOURAGEMENT.WAV, and
KINDWORD.WAV will play frequently. Also, FORGIVENESS.EXE will be invoked every time there is
an external violation, including the ever-popular syntax errors. Also, all those aggravating errors that
say "unable to connect" will be avoided. LOVE allows for a smooth connection with external devices,
regardless of what country it is manufactured in, the brand name, or the age of the model.
Customer: That's exactly what I need, my machine has been isolated for too long. But what about the
bad programs?
CS Rep: Good question. LOVE searches your memory for programs like HATE.COM,
BITTERNESS.EXE, SELFISH.COM, and SPITE.EXE. These programs cant be entirely deleted off
your hard drive, but LOVE overpowers those programs. LOVE stops their commands from being
executed and runs its own instructions. You will no longer hear INSULT.WAV and you wont be able to
write with the fonts "BADWORDS12" or "HARSHNESS10".
Customer: That's a fantastic program you have. Are the upgrades free too?
CS Rep: They sure are ma'am.
Customer: How do I get the upgrades?

CS Rep: That's easy. Once you have LOVE installed and running, it automatically copies a module, or
a piece of itself, to every external Harddrive Email And Remote Terminal (HEART) that it comes in
contact with. In turn, those external devices run whatever version of LOVE they have and return a
module to your HEART. You will be upgraded with each and every module that you receive. But you
have to remember, to receive the upgrades you have to be running LOVE and you have to come into
contact with other computers while it is running.
Customer: I can do that. I'm not very technical, but I think I am ready to install now. What do I do first?
CS Rep: The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART ma'am?
Customer: Yes I have, but there are several programs running right now. Is it okay to install while they
are running?
CS Rep: What programs are running ma'am?
Customer: Let me see....I have PASTHURT.EXE, LOWESTEEM.EXE, GRUDGE.EXE, and

RESENTMENT.COM running right now.
CS Rep: No problem. LOVE will automatically erase PASTHURT.EXE from your current operating
system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. LOVE
will eventually overwrite LOWESTEEM.EXE with a module of its own called HIGHESTEEM.EXE.
However, you have to completely turn off GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM. Those programs
prevent LOVE from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ma'am?
Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
CS Rep: My pleasure. Go to your Start menu and invoke FORGIVENESS.EXE. Do this as many
times as necessary until GRUDGE.EXE and RESENTMENT.COM have been completely erased.
Customer: Okay, I'm done. LOVE has started installing itself automatically. Is that normal?
CS Rep: Yes it is. You should receive a message that says it will reinstall for the life of your HEART.
Do you see that message?
Customer: Yes I do. Is it completely installed?
CS Rep: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to
other HEART's in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops...I have an error message already. What should I do?
CS Rep: What does the message say?
Customer: It says "ERROR 412 - PROGRAM NOT RUN ON INTERNAL COMPONENTS".
What does that mean?
CS Rep: Don't worry ma'am, that's a common problem. It means that the LOVE program is set up to
run on external HEARTS but has not yet been run on your HEART. It is one of those complicated
programming things, but In non- technical terms it means you have to "LOVE" your own machine
before it can "LOVE" others.
Customer: So what should I do?
CS Rep: Can you find the directory called "SELF-ACCEPTANCE"?
Customer: Yes, I have it.
CS Rep: Excellent, you are getting good at this.
Customer: Thank you.
CS Rep: You're welcome. Click on the following files and then copy them to the "MYHEART" directory:
FORGIVESELF.DOC, SELFESTEEM.TXT, REALIZEWORTH.TXT, and GOODNESS.DOC. The
system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching any faulty programming. Also, you need
to delete SELFCRITIC.EXE from all directories, and then empty your recycle bin afterwards to make
sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey! My HEART is filling up with really neat files. SMILE.MPG is playing on my
monitor right now and it shows that WARMTH.COM, PEACE.EXE, and CONTENTMENT.COM are
copying themselves all over my HEART!
CS Rep: Then LOVE is installed and running. You should be able to handle it

Interpretations
Bob Neumann
Dear Bill, I have been beyond busy these last two weeks preparing for what is coming. Yesterday I
rec'd a post asking for whether I had any interpretations that go with THE KILLING OF THE BULL and
THE VISION OF THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW. In the more than two weeks since the first no one
has asked. And as is the case with all I have shared I have not added my ''two cents'' to it.
A few people have posted and made kind comments that these vision were 'from the LORD''. Two
people were discerning enough to say that they were more than personal words....but for the whole
body. So at least two are getting something out of all this. But I wonder if all the quiet types are
''getting'' anything from all that is coming forth from the ''servants'' in these final moments?
ABBA said I was living in the final verses of Ezekiel 33. It was "WATCHMAN, What of the NIGHT" that
introduced me to you and all the servants on the net. But what follows 33 is 34 and a completely open
judgment on false shepherds. For over a year I have waited to release a WORD concerning the
judgment of the false authority within the five cities of Asia that have forgotten their LORD. Now after
all that has gone by these last two+ weeks I can wait to release the "SEVEN THUNDERS" another
week.
But before I do so I need to share the interpretation of where all these dreams/ visions/words that you,
me, and all who are sharing is leading us. I know so much recently ties strongly together and few
probably notice. I think that is what bothers me the most, our living in the ''days of Noah'' and few sons
of Issacar are around. So ignoring the absurdity of the image and looking at where it first came from....
this is the answer ABBA gave me.
HUMPTY DUMPTY SAT ON A WALL

HUMPTY DUMPTY HAD A GREAT FALL
ALL THE KING'S HORSES
AND ALL THE KING'S MEN
COULDN' T PUT HUMPTY TOGETHER AGAIN
ABBA said this little children's story was to be recited for all HIS LITTLE ONES who will see the
INDIGNATION begin. AS IN EGYPT, ABBA stated, THE PLAGUES WERE SENT TO DESTROY
THE IDOLS BOTH OF EGYPT, AND IN THE HEARTS OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. THE
PLAGUES ARE A TWO EDGED SWORD TO BRING MY ''PEOPLE'' OUT OF THEIR
COMPLACENCY AND ON TO THEIR KNEES IN REPENTANCE, AND TO DESTROY THE
''BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY'' THEY HAVE REFUSED TO LEAVE.
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE TO WHOM I AM REACHING OUT STILL IN MY MERCY
AND LOVE BEFORE THE WRATH OF THE LAMB IS POURED OUT ACROSS THE WORLD. THE
FIRST ARE THOSE HELD IN BONDAGE IN EGYPT. TRAPPED IN THEIR PAST HURTS,
OFFENSES, AND ADDICTIONS. THESE I WILL DELIVER THROUGH THE SERVANTS
PREPARED IN THE WILDERNESS TO DO BATTLE AGAINST THE PHARAOHS.
THE SECOND IS FOR THOSE WHO PREFERRED TO STAY IN BABYLON STILL. THEY HAVE
REFUSED THE CALLS TO RETURN TO ZION AND REBUILD. THEY REFUSED TO LEAVE THEIR
WEALTH AND SECURITY I BLESSED THEIR FATHERS AND THEIR FATHER'S FATHERS WHEN
THEY OBEYED ME EVEN IN CAPTIVITY. I HAVE SENT THEM EZEKIELS AND EZRAS IN THE
PAST. NOW NEHEMIAH HAS GIVEN THEM THEIR LAST WARNING. FEW LISTENED AND LEFT
BABYLON. NOW JUDGMENT WILL BEGIN AND FOR A SHORT TIME THE PRODIGALS WILL
HAVE A DOOR TO ESCAPE FROM FOR I AM A FATHER WHOSE HEART IS TENDER. BUT I
WILL NOT BE MOCKED BY SCORNFUL AND REBELLIOUS CHILDREN. SO THAT DOOR WILL
CLOSE QUICKLY.
HUMPTY DUMPTY is quite literally the socio-economic-political system of America that pervades this
present world. It also is a religious-philosophical system built upon a foundation of secularism-
humanism-occult thinking that has infiltrated all the SEVEN CHURCHES.
It sits high and lifted up upon the wall, dominating and controlling everything under it. Those below it
look up and wonder and amazement, lusting and longing for the heights it has reached, unaware it has
no safety line to keep it on the top of the wall. Today it teeters at the very edge needing only a slight
breeze to send it in a freefall to crash and shatter when it hits bottom.
IS IT A BREEZE YOU HEAR ASKS THE BREATH OF GOD? OR IS IT THE WIND THAT IS
CREATED BY A GREAT FALL THAT YOU ARE IN. ARE YOU STILL AWAITING A SHAKING AS SO
MANY HAVE WARNED OR HAVE YOU TOPPLED OFF THE EDGE AND YET TO MEET THE
GROUND?
The fall was great and the kings horses now come to restore the shattered system. The first is white,
the second red, the third black, and the last a sickly yellow-green. They bring the ''men'' that the
kings/princes of the world have waited a long time to send out into the world. They will not restore the
shattered system, but because they bring a new system from out of the chaos and panic of the fall and
splatter few will notice it isn't the same; but they will worship the first man/rider and follow him.
ON YOUR WALLS JERUSALEM, I HAVE SET MY WATCHMEN. YOUR WATCHMEN SIT WITH
YOU IN BABYLON AND SPEAK TO YOU WHAT YOU PAY THEM TO SAY.MY SHEEP HEAR MY
VOICE AND FOLLOW ME. WILL YOU NOT EVEN LISTEN FOR ME? OR HAVE YOU DECIDED TO
STAY IN THE PLACE OF PAST BLESSINGS IN PREFERENCE TO THE PLACE OF OBEDIENCE I
NOW CALL YOU TO?
That Brother Bill is a thumb nail sketch I have been given to work with, very vivid images and very clear
warnings; scripturally sound, but not what many desire to hear. I have one more thing to send you.
Whether any of this gets anywhere is dependent upon those who 'receive it'. I know this is hard stuff to
digest, but I think we are tired of pabulum.

Interpretation Of "The Silly Tree"

(A vision given to Bob Jones)
Don Hawley
I would like to offer the following interpretation of the vision "The Silly Tree" recently given to the prophet Bob
Jones. The Vision is included at the end of this article.
On November 14, 1998, I preached a sermon entitled "Renewal in Transition." As the title indicates, it had to do
with what I perceive are significant changes just now taking place in the great Renewal of the Holy Spirit. I believe
Bob Jones’ vision deals with the same theme.
I’m not being trite when I say, "Movements move!" Denominations are simply Christian groups that started out as
movements, but stalled out along the way. Looking back at their vibrant beginnings, they began to worship their
doctrines and traditions instead of the living God. It ever will be the devil’s design to take the "move" out of
movement.
Satan would like to turn the present Renewal into just another denomination. That must not be.
The Tabernacle was set up, and on that day the cloud covered it. Then from evening until
morning the cloud over the Tabernacle appeared to be a pillar of fire. This was the regular
pattern—at night the cloud changed to the appearance of fire. When the cloud lifted from over
the sacred tent, the people of Israel followed it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of
Israel camped. In this way, they traveled at the LORD’S command and stopped wherever he
told them to. Then they remained where they were as long as the cloud stayed over the
Tabernacle. If the cloud remained over the Tabernacle for a long time, the Israelites stayed for
a long time, just as the LORD commanded. Sometimes the cloud would stay over the
Tabernacle for only a few days, so the people would stay for only a few days. Then at the
LORD’S command they would break camp. Sometimes the cloud stayed only overnight and
moved on the next morning. But day or night, when the cloud lifted, the people broke camp
and followed. Whether the cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year,
the people of Israel stayed in camp and did not move on. But as soon as it lifted, they broke
camp and moved on. So they camped or traveled at the LORD’S command, and they did
whatever the LORD told them through Moses. Num. 9:15-23.
The wellbeing of Israel, their very life, depended upon following the cloud. Today, the wellbeing of Renewal, its very
life, depends on faithfully following the pillar of fire. The fact that we do not know for sure where the cloud is leading
is immaterial; the Holy Spirit is trustworthy.
PARTY TIME
Like the prodigal son the church has for centuries been hungry and bruised, wandering in a far country. In Renewal it
has come home. Once the father placed the robe around the shoulders of the repentant son, notice his very next
concern.
Kill the calf we have been fattening in the pen. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of
mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party
began. Luke 15:23, 24.
Until Renewal it had been a long time since the church of God had partied. The joy of the Lord was seldom seen in
the Body of Christ, and the world was not attracted to the funereal-like services that passed for gatherings around
the throne. People already had enough troubles; what they needed to hear was that the robe of Christ’s
righteousness had set them free! Whenever that fact sinks in, it always produces joy. It’s then party time.
On the day of Pentecost, seven weeks after Jesus’ resurrection, the believers were meeting together
in one place. Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm in
the skies above them, and it filled the house where they were meeting. Then, what looked like
flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with
the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
Godly Jews from many nations were living in Jerusalem at that time. When they heard this sound,
they came running to see what it was all about, and they were bewildered to hear their own
languages being spoken by the believers.
They were beside themselves with wonder. "How can this be?" they exclaimed. "These people are
all from Galilee, and, yet we hear them speaking the languages of the lands where we were born! . .
. They stood there amazed and perplexed. "What can this mean?" they asked each other. But others
in the crowd were mocking. "They’re drunk, that’s all!" they said. Acts 2:1-13.
Some would have us believe that this portion of Scripture describes a quiet and decorous little Bible study, but such
an event would hardly have brought the charge of being drunk at nine in the morning. No, they were filled with the
joy of the Holy Spirit, and that is what brought such crowds that Peter could see thousands baptized in a single day.
What we need today is Pentecost II, and I believe it has already begun in the present Renewal movement.
Whenever Christians get happy, there are always saints who figure they must be up to no good. Their own expertise
is in "weeping between the porch and the altar." Looking at Renewal, distracters derisively referred to it as the
"laughing revival." Instead of merely accepting the negative reports, I flew to Toronto to see for myself. I came away
knowing that the Holy Spirit is doing a new thing in this our own day, and my life has been immeasurably enriched as
a result of immersing myself in this movement.
THE CLOUD IS MOVING
As I stated in the beginning, movements move. Movement results in change. And change is always a challenge.
Whenever we perceive the cloud is moving, we must keep up.
Common sense tells us two things about the prodigal son and his homecoming party. First, that celebration certainly
wasn’t the last time the sounds of joy rang through the father’s house. Secondly, that very special party didn’t go on
indefinitely; there were responsibilities around the ranch that needed caring for.
I believe that Bob Jones’ vision of the "silly tree" joins a chorus of other prophetic voices telling us that the cloud is
moving again. Without losing our joy in the Lord, we must—in the light of what is about to burst upon the
earth—augment it with a new sense of responsibility. My dictionary says that one synonym for "silly" is "laughable."
The "laughing revival" is entering a new phase.
Jones described the silly tree as being "exuberant." One of the earmarks of Renewal, and one of the aspects so
important to me personally, has been exuberant worship. I determined that never again would mere men be allowed
to deny me the privilege of worshiping my God in fullness of joy. But there is more beyond.
Moses was a prince of Egypt, and there must have been some great partying going on in Pharaoh’s palace.
However, when a giant task loomed ahead the Lord called him to the desert to find his burning bush, and a new
relationship with his God.
Many months ago the prophet Marc DuPont warned that God is calling people in Renewal to a new relationship
with him. He stated that it is time to turn our focus from the party to the desert. As individuals we need more quiet
time, a stretching of our spirit toward the throne.
Just recently the prophet Graham Cooke presented exactly the same message.
A few weeks ago I was present at a luncheon where ministers had opportunity to question Jack Deere and Paul
Cain. When I got the floor I asked Paul, "I perceive that the Renewal movement is in transition. Do you also sense
this, and if so what do you see happening?"
Paul replied. "Yes, we are in a transition period, and I see it as a new call to "holiness."
I believe we are witnessing not a new purpose in Renewal, but rather an invitation to experience a new depth in this
last-day move of God. The walls of Jericho stand between the Promised Land and us, and they will fall only to a
people drenched in the Spirit of God.
WHAT ARE WE TO MANIFEST?

When I first examined the Renewal my attention was drawn, as is the case with most, to the "manifestations." A
cursory inspection is as far as many go; they conclude that such strange phenomena could not be of the Lord. Those
who are knowledgeable are aware that this has been the pattern for every great revival in history. The majority
misses the proffered blessings, but I determined that this move is of God, and stayed by.
Unfortunately, for some the manifestations become the focus of their attention when it should be on the God of the
manifestations. Also, whenever the Spirit comes with power, the flesh also rises. There are always those who are
determined to "manifest" whether impelled by the Spirit or not. This, of course, is a distraction and can turn seekers
away.
I confess that for a time I saw manifestations as a goal in themselves. Now I realize they are merely incidental to the
true goal of knowing Him. We need a change of emphasis. I like the way Jack Deere put it at a recent conference.
He said, "Don’t be weird on purpose. When the Holy Spirit comes in fullness that will be weird enough." Good
advice.
So what are we to manifest? I believe that, while we appreciate and joy in the gifts of the Spirit, it is time to open
our lives more fully to the fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
and self control. God is calling us to a new level of godliness. Perhaps the warning the prophet Hosea gave to
Ephraim is appropriate for us today.
The people of Israel have become like silly, witless doves . . .
They do not cry out to me with sincere hearts . . .
They look everywhere except to heaven, to the Most High . . .
Hosea 7:11, 14,
Our God is preparing us for what lies ahead, the scope of which we have not yet imagined. According to Bob
Jones, the only purpose of the silly tree "was to attract the attention of the people attending the orchard, distracting
from the other more lowly trees that were producing beneficial fruit."
When the Holy Spirit came the first time with Pentecostal power Peter said:
People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus of Nazareth by doing wonderful miracles,
wonders, and signs through him, as you well know.
Acts 2:22.
The work of God will not end with less manifestation of power than that with which it began. In fact, we soon will
see miracles and wonders greater in extent than even those produced by our Lord. We are about to write a new
Book of Acts. However, at the moment we need to go to the desert to seek our burning bush.
VISION OF THE SILLY TREE

A Vision Given to Bob Jones written by Keith
Davis
************************************************************
In a recent prophetic experience, Bob was taken to an orchard of trees. Initially, his attention was directed to some
of the rather humble trees in the orchard. These trees were so inconspicuous and meek in appearance that they
were hardly noticeable unless someone's attention was directed to them. The trees did not have beautiful blossoms
nor an abundance of leaves, however, upon careful examination greatly beneficial fruit could be seen being produced
from these humble trees.
Bob's attention was then directed to the center of the orchard where a large seemingly beautiful tree resided. When
looking at this tree from a distance it was clear that bright pretty blossoms were being produced that were very
appealing to the natural eye. This tree was so exuberant that anyone visiting the orchard would see this tree and
hardly even notice the other more humble fruit bearing trees. Bob thought that surely this tree would have an
abundance of fruit based upon its outward appearance.
Bob then moved to the center of the orchard to closely examine this seemingly beautiful tree. However, the closer
Bob got to the tree the less appealing it seemed. In fact, careful scrutiny revealed that this tree did not produce any
fruit. It was totally barren of fruit and it's only purpose was to attract the attention of the people attending the
orchard, distracting from the other more lowly trees that were producing beneficial fruit.
Bob then saw the name of the tree...SILLY.. The name given to this seemingly beautiful tree to the natural eye was
the "silly tree". It represented the silliness that resides in the church that serves as a distraction to the true fruit
bearing trees of Righteousness. Bob then saw a hand descending from Heaven toward the "Silly Tree" striking the
tree at its base cutting off its foliage and blossoms leaving only the trunk and a few branches.
INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION
Presently, there resides in the church an element of silliness that has prevented the church from moving into the
necessary maturity to bear the nature and image of Christ. The silliness has served as a distraction to the equipping
ministries that were given to the church to provide a Word in due season directing the church toward growth and
maturity. The Lord always sends his greatest gifts in the most humble packages. The enemy of the church has
promoted the "Silly Tree" causing it to "stand-out" and nullify God's Grace through distraction.
Through this experience, the Lord is saying that the silliness is to be cut out of the church. Silliness is not to be
confused with Joy. The joy of the Lord shall eternally be our strength. There is a clear distinction between Joy and
silliness. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit... silliness a distraction.
The apostle Paul once said, "When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when
I became a man, I did away with childish things." (1 Cor 13:11) When the church was young and immature, she did
childish and silly things. However, the church must now move into adulthood and maturity, the times dictate it. We
simply cannot allow distractions to continue to steal from us the essential fruit provided for us from Heaven.

lean a few degrees. However, the result is that they will break up at the base. If one watched the spectacle from the sea,

Intercession for Ireland

Lorraine Robicheau
Very early this morning, the Lord woke me to pray. I said to Him "Everyone is prophesying and praying for Ireland. Do
you want me to pray for Ireland too?" I guess He DID! In an instant I was weeping and wailing for Ireland and this is what I
saw as I prayed.
I "saw" that the Lord was desiring to break down walls in Ireland. There are a lot of different kinds of walls in life....some
are for protection...some are for detention.... but these were DIVIDING walls. I saw that these walls were formed in the
womb of Ireland. They were built at the birth of the nation. And they are a curse that has affected ALL the families of Irish
descent for generations ever since. They have produced broken families, family feuds, clans, divorce, estrangement
between brothers and sisters, fathers and sons, mothers and their children etc. AND strife and division between
denominations (i.e. the Catholics and Protestants) and war. This DIVISIVE spirit has affected the U.S. and Canada too,
as they have many Irish immigrants as some of the original settlers. (I especially wept here - this division has been
evident in my own family - now I know why).
I continued to weep for some time and ask the Lord to break the walls down and remove the curse. I could hear "It is
under the Blood" whispered in my ear several times and I knew that the Lord was going to remove that wall. And I heard
"just as the wall of communism was removed, I will remove this dividing wall WITH ONE STROKE"
Then I received the word "For He is (Himself) our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both one
(body), and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us....And (He designed) to
reconcile to God both in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity, and BRINGING THE
FEUD TO AN END." (Ampl. Eph 2:14, 16)
Then I continued to pray for Keith Gerner and his wife. I saw them in the centre of a circle of angelic beings. The angels
had their arms locked and several formed a dome over their heads and I was aware that there were even a number of
them beneath their feet. They formed an impenetrable wall of PROTECTION. Keith and his wife were going about their
usual business in this circle, unaware that the angels were there. Then I saw a stream of what looked like liquid light
rising from Keith and his wife and ascending up to the heavens. It was an amazing sight. The heavens opened and I saw
the Lord...and He was INHALING the liquid light that came up to Him from Keith and his wife (a sweet smelling savour)...I
was aware that the light was their worship. He likes it when they worship. And somehow that worship had something to
do with the wall of protection that the angels formed around them. I was aware that they were in complete safety in that
place.

Youth Unity Initiative In Ireland

Feb 18 1998
Protestant and Catholic young people are to join forces in a marathon prayer walk around the borders of Northern Ireland,
seeking peace for the long-divided communities. While sectarian marches have frequently sparked violent clashes during
the years of "The Troubles", organizers of The Reconciliation Walk-Northern Ireland hope that linking young Christians
from different traditions in the trek will serve as a symbol for a united future.
The Rec Walk is for Christian young people, between the ages of 16 and 25, who want to walk together with other young
people and pray for reconciliation, unity & peace in Northern Ireland. The 600-mile journey starts in Belfast and basically
follows the border of Northern Ireland, taking participants through former trouble spots like Londonderry and Eniskillen -
sites of some of the worst violence during the years of conflict. Local youth events focusing on peace, reconciliation and
unity will be staged along the way.
The event is being promoted by Youth With A Mission, whose Northern Ireland leader Mike Oman hopes to see up to
1,500 young people taking part - some for one week and others for the entire route. He said that the walk was intended to
build on the fragile sense of hope for the future that had been building in Northern Ireland over the past couple of years -
which had largely seen an absence of violence. Mike Oman 100071.1477@compuserve.com

Jesse Duplantis Stops Traffic In Ireland !

News Item
April 4 1998
700 hundred hungry people inside the building and as many outside unable to gain admission due to the strict guidelines
imposed in case of emergency. Yes that's what happened last night in Ballymena Northern Ireland, yes Northern Ireland,
I couldn't believe it myself. There is a great hunger for God here, anyone who witnessed last nights one of crusade will
have to agree, people are sick to death with the dryness of religion, and crying out for reality.
Pastor Maurice Wylie from The Standard in Ballymena has a vision from God to bring in international speakers from
around the globe to minister to the people of Ireland, but I am sure he did not expect what happened last night, some
people were queing from around 3.30pm for the service which began at 8.00pm. The crowd was so big that many
hundreds were locked outside, at one stage it was estimated that there may have been more outside than actually in the
building, when Jessie got wind of this he was duly concerned. "Open the doors and let me out", He said, and out he
went, with the help of a pair of stepladders, Jessie preached his first sermon in the main street of Ballymena. What a
powerful witness to the unsaved, the traffic came to a complete standstill as Jessie exhorted the crowd from the
scriptures, and prayed that God would bless them all. Everyone stood with hands raised to heaven calling out the name
of Jesus while the local Police tried to restore some order. Praise God! the people of Ballymena have known in the past
what it is like to suffer chaos through acts of terrorism, but this time it was Holy Ghost chaos.
The main auditorium was electric, filled with the presence of the Holy Ghost, I must admit I felt a little bit for the Historical
society who were meeting in the room below, especially while singing, "he's under my feet" Jessie preached a blinder
from Mark chapter 9, and at the end around 40 - 50 people responded for restoration and salvation. What a Historical
night for Ireland as a whole. Pray much as the walls of Religion, bitterness, and hatred continue to fall.

Prayer for Ireland

Diarmuid O'Neill
April 10, 1998
What happened in Ireland on Friday the 10th of April, was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime, it was
and is something amazing. It is a wonderful opportunity that God has given the people of Northern Ireland and the people
on the island of Ireland as a whole, for peace, healing and restoration. This healing and restoration is also needed for the
church of Jesus Christ in Ireland, the church needs to reach out to embrace our brothers and sisters in Him wherever
they are, the church needs to be healed of all its rifts and restored to be a whole body the way Jesus intended it to be.
God has done an amazing thing and I hope that He will richly bless each one of you who has been praying for however
long for peace in Ireland - as an Irish man I am so grateful to you and praise God for all he has done through your
faithfulness.
Now more than ever though we need to keep praying as this is only the beginning. Its the dawn of a new day, the
ushering in of a new era, that is if we continue to cry out to God for grace and mercy to be given out in abundance to all
those involved.
God has blessed us with leaders in the political realm who were prepared to take risks and lay down some of their own
ideals, aspirations, agenda's and pride. The church needs to learn from these men and women so that the church will do
the same and will be prepared to stick its neck out and take risks and stop trying to be always politically correct. Let us
pray that from within the church will come the role models for every stratosphere of community life so that as people look
for guidance as how they are supposed to live out a new life (especially for the up and coming generation who have
known nothing but trouble and violence) in new community environments. We need to pray for creativity as we seek to
lead from the front in these days ahead. 65% of the population in the South of Ireland are young people looking for
answers and New Age and alternatives to Christ flood the market place. These young people need your prayers that the
Christians in the North will come and share with them their new life.
God can powerfully use leaders and Christians who are prepared to say "your will - not mine be done", and they are the
type of people the island of Ireland needs right now. Pray that God will give leaders favour with their people so that they
will be able to persuade them to vote in favour of the peace deal, that those in the North leading people to vote for the
referendums and the new assembly and in the South to re-assure people in the North, alleviating fears where possible
and for them to encourage the people of the South to lay down the claims of Articles ii and iii, in support of the peace
deal,that peace deal will become a daily reality.
God is without a doubt blessing Ireland (North & South) in many ways during this time and he has said much about how
he will bless Ireland in the future and how he will use the people of Ireland to bless again nations all over the world. Pray
that once again revival will sweep the land, remembering that it was the people of this island who kept the gospel alive
while the rest of Europe was being over-run by Vandals, Barbarians and such like. God used Irish people powerfully to
bring the gospel all over Europe, may He do it again as continental Europe now, like then sits largely in darkness and is
desperate need of Gods love and grace.
But we need to keep praying that all of these things will come to pass, that the people of Northern Ireland will be healed
all of the pain and then be restored, here too the church can take the privilege God gives us and be used by him to heal.
But we need to be prepared to go and just listen and be alongside them, we need to take risks and be brave and go and
face the powerful emotions of hatred, anger, loss, mourning, fear, bitterness and many more besides. This process of
restoration is not just for the people of Northern Ireland but for the people of the South of Ireland, Scotland, Wales and
England and beyond, the eyes of the world are watching and God will use all that this troubled land and people have
learnt through this torrid, terrible time to bring restoration and healing between peoples, churches, Catholic & Protestant,
Jew & Gentile.
The church in England has still has a major unaccomplished (in general) part in this.
We need to keep praying too that nothing else will fill the void left by terrorism and intimidation by all paramilitaries, since
the first cease fire in 1992 the drug scene in Ireland has become drastically worse. Believe it or not because of the
vigilante tactics adopted in the North by paramilitary organisations the crime rate in Northern Ireland has been one of the
lowest in Europe (in terms of normal crime).
As we pray for the future remember all those for whom the future comes to late, for all of those who have lost someone in
the troubles.
So please, please keep praying for Ireland North and South and all the people in it, that this time people's fears of this
being yet another failed attempt will not be realised but rather that this will be what we have been hoping and waiting for
nearly 30 years and then maybe we will be able to heal all the other wounds which stretch back over centuries!! We want
to challenge the church to keep praying and fasting for this crucial time in the history of the island of Ireland - don't stop
praying, in fact pray even more.
Amaury Braga Brian Mills Have been sent by the church in Belfast and Dublin to raise up intercessor all over the world
and the three of us are now working towards that.
God bless,

Word For Ireland

May 20 1998
I am bringing down the wall that has divided your country. It is coming down says the Lord.
You would ask me, "Lord? Who's sin has built the wall, these people's or their father's fathers" But I say to you, neither.
It is for the glory of God that this wall stands separating North and South, that all the world may see and behold My
power and glory manifested in the island Ireland.
"Listen, O isles, unto Me and hearken, ye peoples from far..."
I am doing a work and a wonder in your day that all nations will stand in awe. I have reserved you Ireland for this hour, to
be a great and shining light to the earth. From your ashes shall rise the glory of the Lord.
I declare peace to your borders Ireland. I will reveal My mysteries on your shores, My power on your city streets.
My church at large, I say to you ....pray! Yes pray. My eyes are roaming to and fro across the earth looking for those
who will earnestly pray for your sister Ireland. Let her be bound on your forehead and written on the door posts of your
dwellings. Say to all that pass by and ask "What is this?!?" Say to them, God's next mighty move and manifestation will
be in the cities of Ireland! Peace shall reign in her streets once again!
Isaiah 49 will be declared and fulfilled in you Ireland. My love is great for you. Even as My heart broke for My people in
captivity in Egypt, so My heart breaks for you Ireland. Deliverance is even now breaking out in your borders. Deliverance
says the Lord. Deliverance.
A great pilgrimage will occur to Ireland. I am calling your children home that have not walked your soil for generations.
They will come and gather to sing the praises of the Most High God.
Mighty worship shall be lifted up from this place that will literally be the key that opens up unprecedented power and
speed.
A shift in the heavenlies is taking place. A shift says the Lord. Signs and wonders shall be seen in the heavens and the
earth beneath.
Ireland shall be a forerunner to the greater works says the Lord. Yes, a forerunner to the greater works.
Staggering breakthroughs in medicine and science will occur in Ireland, as a natural sign of the historical breakthroughs
in the Spirit.
All eyes will be in Ireland. A landmark to the coming of Christ.
Prophesy My people! Prophesy to Ireland! From your closets! Your automobiles! Prophesy! Prophesy My Kingdom
come, My will be done. I say to you prophesy to Ireland! And then you shall reap her reward!

The Refiners Fire

By Tony Black
IRN International Revival Network
My dear friends
May The Lord's richest blessing accompany your walk with Him in this new year -- and towards an eternity that we shall
enjoy together in paradise. This is likely to be the only communication you receive from me for some time, and I'd be very
grateful for your comments and observations.
NOT FINISHED WITH 1997: In spending time with The Lord, seeking His way ahead in '98, I've been stunned to perceive
Him say I'm "not finished with 1997 yet". I think this refers to things that I (we?) have been told and shown. Because it
might be helpful to others, and will at the least explain what we're up to, I'd like to share it with you.
THE REFINERS FIRE: If you've visited the IRN website recently you'll have noticed that our new logo is immersed in fire.
Although I didn't realise it at first, it's an image which I believe to be prophetic, in that it implies not a revival fire (as one
might imagine) but a refining fire. It's a fire which most certainly needs to be applied to my own life and to the functions of
IRN, and perhaps also to all of us who consider 'revival' a vital issue. May I explain in the hope that you'll be blessed, and
also that you might pray for me and for the future direction of this Network.
HYPE: There is no question that our Great God is doing wonderful things throughout the earth. My last communication
was a compilation of just a few things we've seen in 1997, all of which were provided by reliable sources. However, it may
shock you that more than half of what we receive is not published due to being what I can only refer politely to as being
'somewhat exaggerated', and in the worst cases self serving. I'm as liable to this temptation as much as anyone, and it's
a warning to me, and perhaps to you (?) that The Lord is saying "Cut the hype". I am taking this very seriously indeed.
COMMERCIALISM: It's a fact that many types of modern ministry require significant finance. But let's be very careful
about this. I'm sensing God's displeasure and imminent judgement at certain practices and attitudes, and again this is a
warning that applies to me as much as anyone else. I'm genuinely concerned -- and consider it right to apply this wider
than myself -- because I believe that some "Big Ministries" are about to come badly unstuck unless they take it seriously
too.
INTEGRITY: After many years of trying; making many mistakes, often learning the hard way etc, I had thought that my
level of integrity was close to sufficient. I'm being shown that I'm wrong. My standards are not nearly high enough.
Reliability, generosity, humility and unity are all "key" words that I'm examining in my own life.
UNITY: We've talked a lot about unity in 1997, but are our hearts truly pure ? Are we still just a bit too defensive,
insecure, controlling and mean-spirited ? By heavens standards, certainly ! I feel the Love of God wooing us to much
much greater heights, and I'm very 'hope-full' for the future -- after a season. Lord give me Grace to practice what I preach
!
UNDER THE SURFACE: I am deeply humbled, and even saddened, by the possibility that much of what God is "really
doing" is under the surface of the glitter that we, the modern church, portray. Let's be honest, in the western world we
could hardly say that we've truly seen revival yet. Not much more than few tokens really ! If what we call "revival" (or
"renewal") is a River, then we've not really seen much more than reflections on the surface. Reflections of ourselves ?
This is not intended as being too harsh on ourselves, rather it's to encourage us to go deeper. For the river is in fact 'pure
gold' under the surface ~~\o/~~
IRN IS GOING ON THE ALTAR: Although many people are involved, it could be said that I'm responsible overall for how
we see the IRN in it's present form. Hearing what I'm hearing and seeing what I'm seeing, I feel that I have no choice other
than to place the whole thing on the altar -- to await the refiners fire. What is consumed, you will never see again. What
remains (if anything!) will be much better than before. I hope it includes me, because it's such a wonderful privilege to be
involved.
Please feel free to comment as you like.
Bless you,

I Desire To Speak:
Dawn Larsen.
There is a stirring in the spirit. Jesus is calling. Jesus is positioning us. The reverence I am experiencing is incredible.
For so long I have longed for Him and now
I am experiencing Him as never before. Moves of His Spirit have come and gone. Each have brought me closer to Him.
And now, an urgency in the spirit is consuming me and His love is as a consuming fire.
Along with these thoughts, I just want to share some words the Lord has given me. As the Lord leads, I would like to
eventually share more.
I DESIRE TO SPEAK:
Be still, and wait before Me. For I desire to speak to you. My people need to hear My voice, but they will not wait before
Me. Therefore you shall tell them. You shall be My spokesman to give to My people the message, that they too, may
hear Me: That if you humble yourselves and wait before Me, I shall reveal Myself to you as never before, and in the Holy
Place we shall commune as lovers.
And My Spirit shall descend continually upon you and no one shall come between us, for I am a jealous God and I shall
not permit My people to commune with false gods in My Presence.
An abomination shall extend thy right hand to touch that which is unholy and call it holy. Come not before Me unworthily.
Only I can make you holy by My sacrifice. You cannot and never will be worthy in yourself. So open up your right hand to
receive My gift of grace and allow Me to cleanse your whole body; yourself, your inner self also. For it is a type in the
spirit, your body is a type of your whole inner self. Your right hand is the extension of your will, which when submitted to
Me, will be MY HAND EXTENDED to reach into the hearts of men to find them. For they are lost and none can come to
Me lest My Spirit calls them.
So extend your left hand also, that the time be redeemed. For the hour is late and My watchmen call in the night and all
who hear My voice, truly hear My voice, shall come and not delay for it is I who quicken the heart within and stir up the
spirit and they shall see Me alive and quickened in you and they shall feel a stirring within and desire your life, which is
Me and flows out from you as a river of life from the Source of life.
THE WATCHMEN: As My watchmen, watch! They Cry Out! For the city sleeps and the enemy cometh by night and the
watchmen Cry Out to awaken the City, that the destroyer, who is the devil, creep not unawares into the hearts of man
and steal My word out of their mouths and render them defenseless in the battle.
Be not deceived. Lest the watchmen keep their desires totally focused upon Me, where will their words be? Are you a
watchman? From whence cometh your words? Strength and power, life and death, are in your words, which if you are in
Me, will be My words.
There will come a time when I shall require from you all that I have given you and he that freely gives will reap the reward
of My coming.
1 Sam. 2:4
Go forth and break the bow.
Look at you hands.
Stretch them forth
And blow the trumpet!
Continue to blow the trumpet!
Do not cease to blow the trumpet
Until every stronghold of the enemy
is broken down. Until his strength
is made weak, until his staff is Is. 14:5
broken and the yoke is removed from Is. 9:4
their shoulder.
For into your hands have I given
power to break asunder the evil
lies that have bound the minds of
My people. For I would that
you set them free by the Word
of My testimony and the power
of My love. Eph. 3:19

Issues or Stumbling Blocks

Bob Neuman
Yesterday I received a posting once again concerning the "issue" of women in ministry. and as I read I felt a heavy grief
in my spirit and took it to the LORD. and again in the 'night season' I found HIS PRESENCE and heard. and again I
wrestled and the night passed. and I hardened my heart and said this I can not do....
Yet HE moved and I heard from Sr. Debby the cry of my own heart....and she ended with a question..."Bob, what
opportunities do you feel you have missed that can not be made up?"
"You make issues of doctrines that do nothing to reach out to the lost and dying. They are stumbling blocks that are
cast out to impede those who I HAVE called and chosen to serve ME. You waste time and energy defending your
positions based on single verses that ignore MY INTENT and MY LOVE. You speak of the ONE TRUE CHURCH when all
your argumentation only leads to further strife and division. Children, do you want to hear the TRUTH.... OR have you
hardened your hearts to the point that you only listen to and receive that which pleases you, that agrees with you, that
exalts you, that panders to your arrogance and pride?"
"Today you argue about who you will accept as figures of authority... as ministers of MY GOSPEL. OR IS IT YOUR
GOSPEL? Answer ME CHILDREN, DO YOU SERVE ME? OR DO YOU SERVE YOURSELVES?"
"You say I will ignore your iniquity because your hearts are toward ME. Yet from your lips come that which fills your
hearts. Your minds deceive you when you rationalize your iniquities when you should be repenting. You say to all around
you "my hands are clean" as your mouths pour out vain and selfish words that flow from your hearts."
"You create your doctrines and your rules and do not even live by them. You say who may or may not minister in the
buildings that you have boldly proclaimed to be MY HOUSE. DID YOU ASK ME? DID YOU SEEK ME FIRST? If I would
send the Prophetess Deborah unto you, half of what you would call 'MY CHURCH' would deny her for she was a women.
But most would deny her she was MY PROPHET....for they say I HAVE CHANGED and there are "no prophets in the
land". "If I would send MOSES half of you would deny him because of the color of his skin. If I would send ELIYAHU
most of you would deny him because of his appearance and demeanor".
"You speak of a Five FOLD Ministry yet govern with but one.
YOUR WORDS ARE DOUBLE MINDED and YOUR WAYS ARE SELF SERVING. YOU BOAST OF YOUR LITTLE
LIGHTS WHEN I CALLED YOU TO BE BEACONS IN THE DARKNESS. YOU DELIGHT IN YOUR BUCKETS OF
WATER WHEN I DECLARED THAT RIVERS SHOULD FLOW OUT OF YOUR BELLIES. AS YOUR LIGHTS BEGIN TO
DIE, AS YOUR LAMPS BEGIN TO FLICKER YOU WILL REACH FOR THE FLASKS ON YOUR HIPS. THE FLASKS
YOU PREACHED AND TEACHED ABOUT WHEN YOU LORDED OVER YOUR BRETHREN. WAVED YOUR FINGER
AND PRIDED YOURSELF IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND ACHIEVEMENTS, ALL YOUR WORKS. AND YOU WILL FIND
YOUR FLASKS EMPTY."
"HEAR NOW THE WORD OF THE LORD, THE LORD MOST HIGH, THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD WHO GIVES
VICTORY TO HIS SERVANTS WHO WAIT UPON HIM. YOUR LAND IS IN DRAUGHT AND FAMINE NOW SPREADS
ACROSS YOUR LAND. YOU SAID TO MY SERVANTS 'DO NOT SPEAK' WHEN YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR MY
VOICE. I DO NOT SPEAK TO THOSE WHO REFUSE TO HEAR MY WORD. I SEND MY SERVANTS BECAUSE I AM
FAITHFUL, NOT BECAUSE MAN IS FAITHFUL. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE FAITHLESSNESS OF MAN I HAVE ALWAYS
SENT MY SERVANTS TO THOSE IN SIN. BECAUSE I AM I DO THIS FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE FAITHFUL IN THE
MIDST OF YOU. DRAUGHT AND FAMINE ARE UPON YOU, PLAGUE HAS BEGUN AND STORM AND SWORD
QUICKLY FOLLOW FOR YOU PAID NO HEED TO MY WARNINGS."
"FOR NOW ALL THAT REMAINS IS JUDGEMENT UNTO REPENTANCE".
"BUT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT REPENT OF THEIR LIES, MURDERS, THEFT, AND SORCERIES MY WRATH WILL
BE POURED OUT".
"MY SHEEP HAVE ALWAYS HEARD MY VOICE AND FOLLOWED ME... REPENT DEAF SHEPHERDS WHO
STRIKE MY SHEEP''.
"MY CHILDREN HAVE ALWAYS COME TO ME AND I HAVE HELD THEM AND BLESSED THEM..... REPENT SELF
SEEKING DISCIPLES WHO HINDER MY CHILDREN"
"MY SERVANTS I HAVE ALWAYS SENT TO YOU TO SPEAK MY WORD AND MY WILL.... REPENT ARROGANT
PRIESTS AND PROPHETS WHO SPEAK FROM THEIR FLESHLY SELF INTEREST AND SAY THAT THE ''I AM'' HAS
SPOKEN''.
"MY SET TIME HAS COME''.

In This Hour I Will Teach You

Bret Wade
Many have sought answers in this time, says the Lord, and looked to Me and to see where the
problem is. I am not looking at problems. I am looking at My perspective. I am looking at My purpose,
My direction. There are many in this hour in the Body that have looked and looked and looked across
the land. They have looked and they said, "Lord, what am I to do in this season?"
God says that in this hour I will teach you how to come in and how to go out even as a child. In every
season that I have I will teach you new things. There are times when you have to learn how to enter in
and how to walk out of those things, how to step into those anointings, and how to step out of them. I
am teaching My body My new ways. Many have said, "Lord, we will have Your new ways", but when I
bring them to the new ways they say, "Lord, we do not want that." I am choosing in this hour the way
that My body will be shaped, and it shall not come by the choice of man. It shall not come by
preference. It shall not come by opinion, but it shall come by My Spirit, says the Lord.
How would man know what kind of an army I would have? You do not know except I tell you. I am even
bringing together the army that you see in the Scripture in this hour. I will bring adversity even to lives
of many and I will cause you to be trained by My hand. You will be strengthened even as you fight in the
midst of adversity. Adversity doesn't always bring a battle, but it does bring a cooperation, and I will
cause you to cooperate with My Spirit. I will cause you to move by My glory and I will cause you to walk
in My faith realm. There are areas that I will take you into and there are things that I will cause you to do
that you do not understand in this hour. But as you come to Me as a child and say, "Lord I do not know
how to enter in - I do not know how to come out, but I seek You and I seek to find out how You want me
to do it", I will speak to you in that area.
Until you come unto Me as children, do not expect to have the whole battle plan, for I am even
redefining spiritual warfare in this hour. I am redefining those things that need to be fought. Many have
fought things that were nothing more than a distraction, but I'm going to teach you how to battle by My
Spirit in ways that you have not known. I am going to teach you how to even confide in Me in things
that you have not understood. I am going to teach you how to begin to understand things that are not
understandable. Man has not understood My ways, but I will begin to reveal them unto My body in this
hour. As it is done, as it goes forward, as it begins to have impact in the land, so shall My body begin
to arise in strength. I am even now beginning to call out those that would be My remnant. I am
separating them. Do you not know this is a time of separating the wheat from the tares? Do you not
know this is a time of raising some up and setting some down? Do you not know this is the time that I
will begin to exalt some even in the areas that they've not walked in and anointings that they've not
known?
I will even cause those who are unsusceptible to the ways of man to begin to move in the ways of My
Spirit, and though they do not know it, though they do not understand it, they will follow My Voice, says
the Lord. I will have them walk forward not knowing they are going crosswise with the ways of man or
with the ways of religion, but I will cause them to go forward and impact, impact, impact into those
things that stand and rise against Me. For this is My hour of even causing you to be all those things
that you said you wanted to be.
Do you really want to go with Me? Do you really want to be what I called you to be? Do you really want
to go forward in the power and might of My Spirit, says the Lord? It will cost much. There is a price. If
you're willing to allow Me to pay the price for you, says God, I will take you forward in the power of My
Spirit and you will experience things that you have never known, that you have never seen and you will
see My hand move mightily through you, says the Lord. In this hour I'm preparing a body. Will you be
one of those that stands in the midst of My glory and says, "I will do Your will!"?

It Is Yom Kippur
Priscilla VanSutphin
Received this word earlier this am around 0315 hrs. -

A very sobering message for the church. Hope God will confirm to you. Submitted in fear and trembling
Thus says the Holy One of Israel: " Truly I have said, in the world you will have tribulation. But do not fear, for I have
overcome the world. So how do you overcome? Through ME. Remember, time spent with Me is not wasted. The kingdom
of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Be on the offensive in your prayers, for the Lord your God is with
you. Be strong, be bold, for the Lord your God is with you. I AM EMMANUEL, GOD WITH YOU. Every weapon formed
against you shall be destroyed. Every tongue that rises up against you I will quench. I will strike the very camp of the
enemy with TERROR! My people WILL take this land !
The FEAR OF THE LORD will be preeminent in My church again. I will no longer tolerate selfish ambition, pride,
competition and jealousy. Truly justice and mercy have kissed each other. There will be a divine acceleration in all that I
do, for the time is short, and My church is ill-equipped to handle the warfare. Therefore, I will go before you like I did with
Moses. I will be your pillar of light by night and your cloud that guides you daily. Come to Me if you want to be able to
know what the day holds, what direction the wind of My Spirit is going. You see the wind how it blows here and there,
how it goes where it wills. This IS how My Spirit works.. He does the will of My Father. He also goes where the Father
wills. Only the Father knows what He is going to do next. IF you want to know, you must come daily to the well of Living
Water and drink deeply of Me, and you to will know what is best for today - What He wants for you to do today. I only did
what I saw the Father doing.
Return My Bride to your FIRST LOVE. Put aside your busyness and come drink of My love. My love will bring you the
peace you need. My love will heal your wounded and broken hearts. My love will endure forever. My mercies are new
every morning. My love will sustain you through the hard times that lie ahead. Love covers a multitude of sins. Lay down
YOUR lives and pick up MINE. Do you really know what this means?????
SURRENDER your lives to Me. I AM gentle and lowly of heart. A bruised reed I will not break and smoking flax I will not
quench. But you have not healed the wounds of My people, My church! You have stubbornly clung to your own direction.
Do not be like the mule or the donkey! Surrender your hearts to the ONE that loves you! Do NOT be lukewarm or I will
spew you out of My mouth! You think you are rich, but you are wretched, poor, blind and naked. Come buy from Me gold
refined in the fire and white garments of linen that the shame of your nakedness may not be REVEALED! Buy eyesalve
that you may see. DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE ? DO YOU? I see a nation wracked with pain and adulteries, full of
IDOLATRY. I SEE A NATION THAT HAS TURNED IT'S BACK ON ME.
IF my people will humble themselves and PRAY, and seek MY FACE, (not just My hand, ) IF they will repent of their
wickedness and TURN, THEN I will heal this land, and you will go forth to the nations to proclaim MY GLORY! KNOW
that I AM AT HAND!
YOU who hide in your sins, REPENT, or I will openly reveal your sins. I AM sending forth My prophets and apostles.
Some of them you have already rejected. Some you have spiritually killed with your DEFIANCE of Me! But, I will NOW
UPHOLD My word. If you defy them, I WILL KILL YOU WITH THE SWORD !
Amos 9:10 NKJ All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, "The calamity shall not
overtake us nor confront us."
Like Balaam, you WILL LISTEN, or you will die! DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY! For I have drawn My plumbline. Choose
life! He who receives a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward. If you listen, goodness and mercy will follow you all the
days of your life and you will live in the house of the Lord forever.
I AM WARNING YOU, for you are a stubborn people! If you want MERCY, then show it to those who are poor, to those
who are unwanted, to those who've already been condemned. Show it to the widow, the orphan, the homeless and the
single mothers, to the aliens in your borders. IF you don't, I WILL WITHDRAW MY CANDLESTICK from those churches
who will not obey. LISTEN AND UNDERSTAND. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES, AND SEE THAT I HAVE DONE IT
BEFORE, AND I WILL DO IT AGAIN. Who will go for us? Who will go for us?
Put away your swords from your brothers and sisters, for if you draw them against them, I will draw MINE against you,
and you will feel the sting of My correction. Those I love, I chasten. You must learn to TAME YOUR TONGUES. For
there is POWER in your words, that sets assignments against those you speak against. I will no longer hold you
blameless. There will be consequences for lack of love. If you want more love, then come to Me , for I AM your SOURCE
.
Come to the river and drink deeply. Swim in the river. SUBMERGE yourselves in My love, that you would be able to
overcome and be the LOVE-AMBASSADORS I want you to be to the world. For my children are LOVE-STARVED. (See
Ez 47) How can a putrid, stinky church give forth a sweet aroma? How can you be a sweet smelling savor if you are
intolerant, impatient, and frustrated with those who are different from you? Put away your prejudice and hatred. Put away
suspicion. If you wound and maim your own brothers and sisters, how can you show love to the many prodigals I want to
bring HOME to My heart ?
LOVE ONE ANOTHER as I have loved you and laid down My life for you! Bear one another's burdens. Rejoice with those
who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Ask for COMPASSION from Me and you will receive it. Cleanse your hearts
of all unrighteousness for I want a body of DELIVERERS. If you don't press in to My love, how can you give it ? My love
is UNCONDITIONAL. Haven't I forgiven you much ? Then freely forgive as I have forgiven you! Destroy all the bitterness in
your hearts or it will destroy you. Do not look to the left or to the right. The way is narrow, and few find it!
DIE to SELF! Self is mammon! You cannot serve God and mammon! Is not SELF the source of all greed?
Look up, for your Redeemer draws nigh. The greater things are just ahead. To those who have prepared your hearts and
been obedient to My commands, Know that I WILL uphold you with My righteous right hand. No weapon formed against
you will prosper.
I have given you AUTHORITY over all the power of the enemy.
TAKE THE LAND !!! For I am with you. My rod and My staff are with you. Men's hearts will faint at the power I pour out
through you in the days ahead. My church will be shocked into submission !!! All your hearts have longed to see is just
ahead.
NOW I will lift Myself up. NOW I will make My name glorious! Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that I am
Lord. Hold fast My beloved, For this is your finest hour !

It's Time To Take The Land!

[News Item]
China:
AT THE present time an amazing revival is sweeping through China. All the marks of a true revival, considered by any
yardstick, are there. Here is an account by a Western Christian of a prayer gathering in Henan province.
IT IS pitch dark and the temperature is below zero. There are about seventy of us. Your body would welcome sleep in a
warm blanket, but you are excited by the prospect of being with God. First we sing choruses of love for Him, love for one
another, and the vision to reach the nation for God. The come words of knowledge; there has been bad feeling between
members of the group and God will not move unless there is reconciliation. Everyone is in tears; all are hugging each
other and confessing their coldness of heart. This goes on for some two hours.
Then comes a prophecy:

'It is time to take the land. Be strong and bold, for I will build My Church. Make war on the powers of darkness.
Call on Me and ask for the heathen.'
Some dance and clap their hands, others are prostrate in humility before God. Then all rise, hands lifted and joined
together, and begin to engage their foe. This is not petition, it is proclamation. They know God will do it.
You find the Spirit is praying through you. Someone gives out a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit working through the
whole state, village by village. Everyone prays, and suddenly everyone can see the same picture! God gives you names
of people and places you have never heard of before. But you know it is from God, so you speak it out. Everyone is doing
the same; it is like gunfire.
Eventually the whole group breaks into a crescendo of worship. You sense the enemy has been bound. God is glorious.
We give ourselves to the call. 'Lord, I am willing to die for You,' cries one. All begin to weep, falling on their
knees on the frozen soil. The prayer rolls down the mountain like an avalanche. Soon it is 4.30 am and you have to return
- for the daily prayer meeting at 5.30 am.

I Think This Was A Vision

Cathy Wood, Pensacola
I was responding to a letter from a dear friend in England and shared with her what I felt during prayer. I think it may be a
vision, and that means it would be for you too! Blessings to you !
Cathy Wood
Dear June,
I was worshipping God the other day with the "Glory in the Dark" video on. You can feel a strong presence of God coming
off that tape. At one point we were singing a song that said "the Spirit and the Bride cry out to you. come quickly" and
another line says "breathe on us until you come". When that line was being sung, If was as if I could see Jesus and he
was huge...his arms were unending and he was saying COME. At first It was like his face was where our baptistery is
and his arms were reaching out along the walls of the sanctuary.
I could see his arms. Then there were hundreds of people running into his arms. Some of us giggled as were ganged up
together finding little crevices in his arms to hide in. In the beginning it was people I knew, other workers of the revival,
then it was people I had never seen before. The next thing I know, Its like I am in the air and I hear something that only
God's people can hear. I see people from all over the earth responding to a sound that those around them cannot hear. (It
made me think of a dog whistle. Humans cannot hear it.) As I watched to see who was coming, I saw you and Terry. You
were out in the yard and you had some kind of gardening tool in your hand and you dropped it and started walking toward
the Lord. I saw other Internet people I have met from other parts of the world. Some were at home, some were at work,
and everyone dropped what they were doing and began walking toward the sound that only we could hear. I started crying
harder at this point and began to call out to God to tell him I hear him calling us. It seemed like I was watching a movie
as everything went into slow motion and many people just looking up and silently dropping whatever they were holding,
not turning to say goodbye to anyone. just walking away. No time in our history have so many longed to hear the
bridegroom. No time in history have so many been ready to leave everything behind to so be with the Lord. Never before
have we thought of his coming like we do now. Surely this is what he meant when he said we would not be caught
unaware. He is calling us, deep in our hearts.
When I got up from the floor, I knew I had been visited by the Lord. As you know I have not been able to go to the revival
as many nights per week but God has been faithful to be with me during each day. After such a long couple of months
where I thought I would not survive some of the emotional hurts and arrows sent by the enemy, I knew that God did not
leave me and I needed to just hide in him until the storm passed over. I did not blame God, I just cried to him. He knows
my frame, he knows I am only dust. And like a father pities his children, the Lord pitied me because I fear him and love
him with all my heart. Now, my joy has returned. My sense of purpose has returned. I am forever grateful for the Lord's
mercy. May he send revival to us all. May we be found worthy to do what is right and to give him glory in all things.
Surely, nothing touches us without his knowledge. God bless you, June. keep going after the Lord. HE said he will be
found of us when we search for him with all our hearts..
Come Lord Jesus

I Will Lead You

Katie Jordan
October 8, 1998
Beloved, as My Word says, all day long I have stretched out My hands to a disbelieving and
disobedient people. Yes, My people, I have blessed your nation abundantly but they have not been
grateful, nor thanked Me, nor given Me the credit for all these blessings. Rather they say, "Look how
great we are and what we have done." YOUR NATION ONLY SERVES ME WITH THEIR LIPS BUT
THEIR HEARTS ARE FAR FROM ME.
I search the heart for I desire a people who will love Me with all their heart. I want a people whose heart
is toward Me and who will consistently put Me first in their lives.
I abhor lying and arrogance. I abhor pride and the killing of the innocent. I also hate those who
deliberately cause strife among My flock. Beware! There are many false prophets today who
deliberately feed My people lies and total untruths. YOU MUST KNOW MY VOICE WELL AND YOU
WILL NOT BE DECEIVED. The enemy is out in force now to try to deceive My people. STAY CLOSE
TO ME AND STAY IN MY WORD.
I am the GOOD SHEPHERD AND I WILL LEAD YOU CAREFULLY AND CLEARLY ALONG THE
RIGHT PATH TO BRING YOU HOME TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH ME. Praise Me My people!
Praise Me and rejoice! Yes, rejoice, for your desire is for eternity. Those whose hope is in the world
will be crushed. The joys of harvest-time will cease. The celebrations will stop, and the lights will go
out. THEN YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
October 24, 1998
Beloved, I beseech you to spend more time in My presence where you will find PEACE, My peace,
and STRENGTH, My strength.
I have told you the door is open so come before My throne. COME BEFORE MY THRONE OFTEN.
ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE. Do not assume that I will always give you what you need, for I want
you to come to Me. In the coming and the asking you will learn to trust Me. In the receiving you will
begin to understand fully that I AM YOUR SURE SUPPLY. I AM TRULY YOUR SUSTENANCE.
Of course I have given you the victory and now I want you to live as though you have all the confidence
that you ARE VICTORIOUS. Show the world My victorious people regardless of the circumstances in
which you find yourselves. Seeing the victory in you will be what will draw the lost to you.
You must let your light shine brightly in these last dark days.
MY LIGHT MUST BE A BEACON SHINING THROUGH YOU FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE. MY
AMBASSADORS MUST LIGHT UP THESE LAST DARK DAYS WITH MY LIGHT AND TRUTH AND
WISDOM. SHOW THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!

October 29, 1998
The winds of change are blowing across your nation. You have felt them and wondered about them.
My people, these winds are blowing off a sea of sin. The storm grows darker each day as these winds
are full of the debris of spiritual decadence. The flotsam blowing about are from sensuality,
pornography, abortion, lying, deceit, homosexuality, cheating, stealing and murder. All this dark side
of life from your enemy is causing the storm to grow darker, and stronger, and more dangerous each
day. Your nation has sown to the wind iniquity and injustice and will now reap the whirlwind.
Oh My people, I have so often told you not to look to the right nor left into trouble and darkness but to
keep your eyes on ME, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. There are many souls floating about in this
swirling and chaotic sea of sin and filth who have given themselves over completely to the enemy.
You must remember that as MY PEOPLE, YOU ARE EACH A LIGHT WHERE I HAVE PLACED
YOU. STAND FIRM ON THE ROCK REGARDLESS OF THE STRENGTH OF THESE EVIL WINDS.
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH AND LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE BRIGHTLY. KEEP IT FULL OF THE
OIL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND NEVER LET IT GO OUT.
Beloved, please understand where I have placed you and where your light must shine is indeed HOLY
GROUND, FOR YOU ARE AN EXTENSION OF MY ARM AND MY ARM IS NOT SHORTENED THAT
IT CANNOT SAVE.
As the storm darkens and grows more fierce, as indeed it will, do not even flinch as all kinds of filth
begins to hit you from every side. I say again STAND FIRM AND HOLD UP MY BLAZING CROSS
FOR ALL TO SEE. YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH SO DO NOT LOSE YOUR
PRESERVATIVE POWER. You know that I AM THE WAY, (the only Way), the TRUTH, (the only
Truth), and the LIFE, (the only Life), for there is no other way that leads to Eternity and Heaven. I am
truly the ONLY DOOR THROUGH WHICH YOU MUST ENTER.
You will be able to withstand any storm regardless of the pressure of these dark and evil winds if you
never take your eyes off of ME, and you must remember that the words that go forth out of My mouth
never return to Me void or empty, but they always accomplish what I please and give sup-port to My
people. My words put extra steel in your backbone and they put more compassion in your hearts so
that you can HATE THE SIN BUT LOVE THE SINNER.

Judgment Upon America Over Abortion

Bishop D. K. Jones
I would like to share a vision and instruction that the Lord gave me when I was on an extended sabbatical which began
November 29th 1997 and ended January 8th 1998.
It was December 16th, 1997 when the first vision came to me.
It was 7:52 p.m. I just finished reading and closed my eyes. All of a sudden it looked like I was thrust into a dark room
where someone would develop film. I also saw an iridescent green light in this room. On the left hand side I saw a sink
that was full to the brim with a black liquid. Above the sink I saw what looked like a spigot which was dripping some more
of the liquid into the sink.
I said to myself: "This sink is full to the brim of this liquid and it's going to run over. What shall I do?" As soon as I
thought what I would do which was to pull the plug out of the sink so the dark liquid would drain out, the sink started
rapidly moving out of reach. The dripping liquid just followed it. It then looked like it fell down an elevator shaft. It went
down, down, down. I sat up in my bed and opened my eyes, and said to myself: "What in the world was that? The Holy
Spirit told Me to get up and write and He Would tell I me what I saw. So, I got my prayer journal and began to write. This
is what the Holy Spirit impressed upon me to write:
He said: "Abortion and the greed involved in it has and is moving out of reach and the killings are steadily going on. The
truth of this hideous crime is hidden by darkness. But, the true picture is being developed and the consequences will be
seen by all."
I said: "Wow!" I then just kind of pondered on it until about four in the morning and then somehow I just drifted off. Then I
was back up early in the Morning. When you're away on a sabbatical you don't need Much sleep, the Lord gets you up
faithfully to meet with Him.
I began to share what was on My Mind with the Lord at that time. I thought I had I more clarity on the vision and I began
to talk with the Lord in this manner. I said: "Lord, if the truth is being hidden why did You allow Satan to run away?" The
Lord had revealed to me that the dark liquid that was in the sink was the blood of the babies crying out to Him. He told
me: "I am developing the true picture of what this hideous crime involves." He further let me know that He didn't want me
pulling the plug out of the sink. So, He made it move, because when it runs over, He said, there is no more warning. It's
time for judgment.
So, that just kind of rocked my world and I began to read a lot about God's judgments in His Word, and taking notes on
how God brings judgments.

Warnings of Judgment
Matt Lewin
Greetings in all humbleness,

I feel compelled by the Lord to commit the following words to paper as a warning to the body of impending action
by the Lord our God. Hear now what the sovereign Lord is saying to the church:
"I speak now again through my anointed prophet to my people, those that listen and heed my words shall have rest
and the peace that passes all understanding shall be upon them. Even in adversity shall they find rest, the pastures I
shall lead them too shall provide a harvest of truth, peace, righteousness and justice. The wicked shall have no place
in these pastures, the goats shall eat nothing, they shall be destroyed.
Now my hand moves across the Earth, I move over the seas all shall tremble before me, all shall know that I am the
sovereign Lord and shall fear my name. My name is truth, righteousness and justice, I come and I will not keep
silent. The enemy thinks that they shall escape my wrath, I am the Lord God Almighty, none shall escape my wrath.
I will fold up the whole of creation, I shall create a new heaven and a new Earth in which righteousness shall flourish
like a blossoming flower.
I now share my thoughts with my people, I flow like a river into this world, the task I have started long ago now
draws to a head. The wheels that turn unrelentingly I shall stop at their appointed position. The judgements that I
have decided shall be carried out by my hand, I have spoken and it shall be so. I keep my promises but will also
fulfill the words of my true prophets, those whom I have selected to speak on my behalf to my church.
I am about to purify my bride, a bride fit for my son, the one who I have sent to do my will. All my people, all is not
as it seems, I shall teach you my truth, I shall unfold my truth hidden since before the foundation of the world from
the eyes of men. Remember my people my ways are not your ways. Do not lean on your own understanding but on
my understanding, do not resort to theology and your own carnal understanding for you will fall by the wayside.
Come and take refuge under my wing and you all shall find rest, one from long ago I have allowed to be raised, one
that existed from before the flood is alive this very day. He is my threshing stick on the threshing floor of the earth
and shall bring my judgement upon the wicked. I have inspired my prophets to speak of him, I have revealed the
truth to my anointed my people shall awaken from their slumber. I shall blow my trumpet and my people shall see
the dawning of a new day as my glory rises upon all the people of the earth.
All shall see my glory and come to the dawning of this new day with hunger in their hearts. My king walks forth
girdled with my sword, armed with my truth, he fights not in the flesh but in the spirit, all principalities and powers
shall fall before him. I shall subdue all that stands in opposition to truth, justice and righteousness, my witness shall
speak my truth, know this my people.
I also now speak this day concerning Japan, I have this day lifted Japan into my hands and examine it with mine eye.
All that I see is an abomination to me, they have many idols, they worship science and technology, I shall cast down
this idol and utterly destroy it. I this day bring destruction to Buddhism and Shintoism in Japan, I shall shake the
foundations of the nation.
Earthquake and tidal wave shall rock this nation from this day forward I extend my hand to this nation and bring my
bowl of judgements over this nation. I shall pour out my righteous judgements over Japan, their science and
technology shall fail them. I also speak against the exploitation of children and the abomination of sexual abuse, woe
to those to pursue these little ones and corrupt them. I shall not spare you from my wrath.
Japan rise and shine, embrace my son and find mercy and peace, when the whole of creation around you trembles in
my presence where shall you find refuge? Peace only exists in me through my son, there shall you find peace and
new pastures that shall keep you safe. How can the dead help you, for they are dead! Can the dead help you in your
hour of need, I am the God of life and death, by my word are the dead raised from the grave.
I have an anointing for Japan and I will destroy all the strongholds over Japan divinely. All that stands in opposition I
shall sweep aside by my hand, I shall carve my name into the hearts and minds of all in Japan. Give the glory that is
due unto my name, I have come to claim my glory that is rightfully due to me. I will not keep silent and my word shall
be heard, for my gospel shall be preached throughout the world, then the end shall come.
The end shall be a time of great revival and great judgements, the church shall be judged and purified. Then those
who do not delight in the truth shall be amazed at the one I have sent, those who's names are not written in the book
of life shall be condemned for they have not delighted in the truth of my son. I have given my best only to have it
thrown back in my face, I am the Lord, I will not be insulted. I shall destroy all who mock me and do not delight in
the fear of my name. This day I enter a new dimension of activity in the spiritual as I rise and move across the earth.
I have spoken."
The Lord confirmed these words for Japan in [HEB 8:10-12]. The Lord has spoken, may he be praised and
glorified for all eternity.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the
Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember
no more. (Hebrews 8:10-12)

Joshua Arise
Bret Wade
We are in a crucial season of the Lord. We have been in a time where the body of Christ has been being prepared for one
of its greatest changes. All throughout Scripture we see the powerful things that the Lord did in the midst of His people to
bring about changes. God has been strategically preparing us, but now the paradigm shift is being made.
Beginning in the latter part of 1997, I began to hear the Lord's voice say, "Moses my servant is dead; now therefore
arise…". For sometime, I didn't understand what the Lord was saying to me. It could have applied to so many areas. I
sought the Lord for a period of time and pondered what He was saying. I began to realize that not only did this apply to
my life as a "new breed" leader but also to the entire Body of Christ.
In July of this year, the Lord told me that the influence of the old order was over and the new order was now arising.
Those who chose the old ways would remain where they are and the new would rise for this hour. There's a "new breed"
of apostolic and prophetic leaders in the earth whose realm of authority is just about to open up. The measure of rule that
many have operated under was that of their Moses. You see, Moses' sphere of influence or measure of rule ended at the
Jordan River, but Joshua was waiting in the wings. He had been prepared many years for what would belong to him. It
laid wait for him at the Jordan.
There are many that God has prepared for this hour to arise into their predestined position in His kingdom. They have had
a warrior's heart in a land of wandering. Their hearts beat with faith to possess what belongs to God's people. They have
been reserved for such a time as this. The doubt and unbelief of others and the lack of results has only caused a
strengthening in their determination to see the will of God fulfilled. As the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:13, "one
thing I do". Nothing is as important as Christ.
JOSHUA ARISE! Take your place! Prepare your heart and mind for one of the greatest changes in history! The earth is
groaning and waiting for your manifestation!
Prophetically, I believe we are in that time of Joshua 1:11, "Pass through the camp and command the people, saying,
please provisions for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan.' During this time frame, God is
purging the church of these things: rejection, fear of man, rebellion and witchcraft. Those things that only hinder us from
doing His will. He is taking us to another level of holiness! (Deuteronomy 23:14) There is sense of "pause" in the Spirit
realm. We must allow Him to get us ready! It will hurt but it will be worth it. We shall soon cross over! As the paradigm
shift takes place and the "new breed" arises into place as leaders who possess a do or die attitude. Selah!
Let us go over to the other side,

Apostle Bret Wade

JER 6:15
Kiristie Joyner
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
No, they have no shame at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when I punish them,"
says the LORD.JER 6:15
I often listen to the Old Testament on tape on my way to work in the morning. As I heard this verse, God opened my ears
to the phrase... "They don't even know how to blush." So often we think what we say, or those around us doesn't really
matter. Or what we see-- doesn't even effect us too badly... but here as God was listing the crimes of Israel was that they
didn't even BLUSH!!!
How often do we hear a joke or a comment and we turn all red, and then we get embarrassed because someone teases
us about blushing. GOD asks us to keep blushing!!! Keep rejecting the "common day moral" (ok lack of moral) and Seek
HIM!!!
As I was on IRC the other day I posted the topic of "Father, forgive this unblushing nation." which was how my heart was
crying out. Most don't know it but I live in a small (ok, small for California) town in California. This county has the #1 Teen
Pregnancy rate in the USA!! We have the third highest violent crimes against another (i.e. abuse, rape, spouse abuse)
per capita in the state... and to top it off... we have at least 150 churches for 34,000 people. Needless to say, I live in a
place where blushing is very uncommon. But even more so most who came into the channel related it to the President. I
didn't even think of it this way-- yet here we have just another example of our nation not even blushing.
Father, as I call out... PLEASE save your people from their sin!!! Either cause the churches need to wake up or fade
away, and I pray, as the Lord sees fit the RIVER will flow and healing will take place. Teach this city and Nation, and
WORLD to blush once again. AMEN
Your Sister in Christ,

Jesus, Enter In
Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies on 22nd August, 1997, at a Revival Prayer evening held at
Morphett Vale Baptist Church. As with all prophetic words, these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility
and repentance. Where Bible passages are referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the
interpretation of the passage, but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
I saw the Lord standing at the door of the Church, and knocking. He was weeping, and crying out:
" You have let my Spirit in. Will you now let Me in? Many of you have come to pray, to intercede, or to
minister - to do! But I have not called you to come and do, I have called you to come and BE - to be
with me. 'Without me you can do nothing'.
You ask to love, but you do not understand that you cannot love unless I enable you. As my Apostle
wrote: 'We love because He first loved us'. You ask to see me, but that same Apostle, after a lifetime
of loving me, fell at my feet terrified, when he saw Me as I am. You ask to enter in, but you do not
realize that you cannot enter in unless I first enter in.
You cannot pray, unless I enable you. You cannot love unless I enable you. You cannot see me unless I
enable you. The initiative is with me, and it is my Grace alone that enables you to do these things.
Do not seek after healing, or blessing, or evangelism, or prophecy, or anything else, apart from me. If
you seek first the Kingdom of God, these things will be added unto you.
You ask for more of my Spirit, but you do not realize that my Spirit has no face - He prepares the way
to Me. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and I was lifted up to draw all men unto myself. If I am with
you all else will follow in abundance. You ask for Fire, but you do not realise that I AM the Fire of God.
I long to be intimate with you, but I am still waiting for you to call. I am weeping over Jerusalem, My
church, My bride. But beware! When I enter I will change everything, as I am a consuming fire. If you
ask me to walk into the room, you must be prepared to eat My flesh and drink My blood. Be sure to
count the cost.
To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne. I will give Gold, refined in the
fire, a salve for your eyes that you may see, and white garments for you to wear.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in,
and eat with him, and he with me.
The Spirit says to me: 'Come, Lord Jesus'. What will my Bride say?"

Jesus is the joy in Christmas!

Gunnar M Johnson
A prophecy for Christmas
My light is dawning, brighter than you have ever seen it! The darkness is being pushed back, so the
blind can see and the hopeless can believe. I Am awakening those who have fallen asleep and I Am
helping the lonely travelers find their way. There is a joy coming, which will know no compromise.
There will be a peace that will calm the most desperate heart. You will experience my presence
wherever you turn in a world that feels only dismay. I will turn lives around into a fresh and expectant
way of living. My salvation will become an earth-shattering explosion for many as my Spirit reveals the
blessing of the Father. I will find the lost no matter what their condition may be. The fear that has kept
so many in bondage will be broken. Even death itself will lose the sting, as my love shines down from
above. Evil destruction will falter, as it faces the revelation of my glory. Your heart will be warmed in
anticipation of the new day I have promised. Bonds of companionship will be forged throughout the
nations, as many come to believe in me. My star will rise on the horizon and it will draw the attention of
peoples throughout the earth. The breaking of chains will be heard coming from the darkest
dungeons. The wind of my Spirit will sweep from the east to the west and from the north to the south.
Structures of self-will and hostile antagonism will fall before it. I will raise up the fallen and I will heal the
deepest hurts. I will make miracles happen that will change the course of history. I came as a king
born in a manger of wood and I hung nailed to a cross. I will come again in Resurrection power to rule
in hearts with victory in my hands. Bow before me and feel the hand of your loving heavenly Father rest
upon you with holy freedom. My Spirit of truth fulfills the words of the prophets as my Kingdom appears
among you!
Love,
JESUS Isaiah 60:1-6
Our thoughts are with you in this holy season, as we reflect upon the Messiah the anointed one, Jesus
our Savior born in the manger of Bethlehem. We wish for you his peace and love to be poured out in a
flood of blessings from above. May his Spirit as well find an abiding place in your heart to bring you
through into a glorious New Year!
Merry Christmas, God Jul, Frohliche Weihnacten, Buon Natale, Feliz Navidad and Bozego
Narodzenia.

Moses and Jethro:

An End Time Allegory
by Bill Somers
16. Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to
water their father's flock.
17 .And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their
flock.
18 .And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 .And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough
for us, and watered the flock.
20 .And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he
may eat bread.
21 .And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. Exodus 2:16-
21 (KJV)
This story follows the pattern a Lord revealed to me. I talk about this pattern in my article, End Time Outline. To quickly
summarize it is that the end time events will follow a five step progression. The five phases are Kingdom, Judgment,
Redemption, Harvest and Finale. These steps are illustrated in many places throughout the bible, once you know what to
look for.
The key element in this progression is the transition from judgment to redemption. The purpose of judgment is
redemption. We need to embrace and rejoice in His judgments, for when we see these things happen, our redemption
draws near. The redemption we speak of in nothing less that the transformation of the church of today into the bride that
Jesus is going to wed. The redemption is the reformation of the church.
A key verse to meditate on is Isaiah 1:27 "Zion shall be redeemed with judgment and her converts with righteousness."
In this story there are elements and actions:

The Elements:
The 7 daughters of Jethro [Ruel] are the church, or more correctly, the remnant of the church that is truly seeking after
the things of God. The Number 7 here speaks of the perfection coming to the church.
Jethro is The Father.
Moses is The Lord Jesus Christ
The shepherds are the other company in today’s church, the establishment that resists the move of God.
The Actions:
The daughters of Jethro come to the well seeking to draw water.

This is the refreshing that parts of the church have going today, Toronto, Pensacola, etc.
This is the Kingdom Phase.
The shepherds oppose them.

This is the opposition to revival.
There is strife between them.

This could be called Civil War in the Church.
Moses comes on the scene.

This is the increasing presence of God in the revival.
Moses stood up
Let God Arise!
Moses drives away the shepherds who are hindering Jethro’s daughters.
This is the Lords judgments against false shepherds.
Let His enemies be scattered.
This is the Judgment Phase.
Moses waters the flock! The Well is opened!

This is the oft spoken of End Time Outpouring of the Spirit, i. e. Real Revival.
This is the Redemption Phase
The sheep are watered.

This is the harvest.! The sheep are provided for, all who thirst may come and drink.
This is the Harvest Phase
Moses and the women return to Jethro.

This is the resurrection of the saints and our gathering together unto Him.
This is the Finale.
Jethro gives Moses one of his daughters to marry.

Jesus receives his long awaited bride at the Marriage Supper.
I believe we are now at a point where things are going to get worse before they get better. So how do you handle it when
things get worse? Just keep in mind that they are going to get better! Look UP!

Judgment Begins at the House of God

Linda Royce
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at
us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17
My judgment is coming. Many of My prophets have spoken of judgment that is coming to America and
to the world. But remember this, judgment begins at the house of God. It must start with My body. I
speak now to My five-fold ministers. Judgment begins with you. I call forth the Apostles who are
standing in the office of Pastor, and I say , "Stand in what I’ve ordained for you from the beginning of
time." You Pastors who are Teachers, step into the office I have ordained for you. Do not depend on
the church system for your wages. I have not called you to be a hireling. I Am your provider. You
Prophets, get your tails into the church. I have not called you to stand on the sidelines and chide the
church. Get in there with the other gifts. Forgive the church that has driven you out and get on with what
I have for you. Your gift will make a place for you. I tell you, Prophets of the Most High God, the church
will no more cast you out. The church needs you. Seek Me for where you are to be and I will plant and
grow you in that place. "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts
of our God "(Psalm 92:13).
Five-fold ministers, you must discern the Lord’s body. "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,
eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are
weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be
judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned
with the world" (1 Cor. 11:29-32).
I now speak to the whole church. I have spoken in My word, "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it from
thee, for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body
be cast into hell" (Matthew 5:30). Please hear this, body of Christ. So I (Jesus) will do to My body. If
one offend Me, I will cut it from Me, for it is more profitable that one of My members should perish, and
not that My whole body be cast into hell. You must understand that this is not My will. But My Spirit has
been continually speaking to you. I have pleaded with you and warned you, again and again and
again. But some of you just will not listen. You leave Me no choice. Judgment must come.
There is still time. Repent, my bride, repent! Leave the ways of the world. Allow Me to sever those
unhealthy attachments, once and for all. Please, while there is still time... REPENT!

Jehovah Judges
Sherry Mackey
August 8, 1998: There was once a very good king. He was outstanding in the way in which he was head of state. He
heartily embraced the faith. His heart was courageous in the ways of My Spirit & he set his heart to seek my face. He
went out among the people, from Beersheba to the hill country of Ephraim, and brought them back to the Lord, the God
of their fathers. In military policy, he believed in time of peace to prepare war. His military and religious actions were
successful, for the fear of the Lord fell upon all, and they made no war with him. He brought the nation back, at least
formally, to "the God of their fathers."
Although personally loyal to his faith and pure of life and motive, his greatest failures lay in the precise areas of his
greatest success......international relations and religious reformations. He could not root out the unlawful. His diplomacy
by alliance into intermarriage with the house of Ahab & Jezebel brought all his gains to ruin within a few years of his
death. The poisonous effect of that union, became an arrangement that was very expensive to Judah, for the king
supported with treasure & manpower to fund Ahab's wars. The king assisted in at least two fruitless campaigns with the
kings of Israel. He suffered personal physical peril, and spiritual loss to himself and his kingdom. This was an ill
conceived policy. His name was Jehovah judges, or King Jehoshaphat.
I the Lord have brought you to the valley of Jehoshaphat, & I shall judge you in this valley of decision. Corrupt alliances
by deceit have come to ride on your anointing. To prostitute your oil & wine so they gain victory & prestige. There
numbers are great, they love a crowd. They corrupt your goodness by flatteries, they take the advantage for their own
personal gain. As I live says God, I tell you the truth, I wouldn't even look the way of these corrupt leaders, but because I
honor your life, I will speak!
I know your works, love & service. I know your faith, patience and all your works and the last to be more than the first.
But I have this against you, you let the woman Jezebel do what she wants & that unrestrained. She says that she is a
prophetess, but she is leading my people away with her teaching. A teaching of religious mixture, that has sugar sweet
appeal, but is in every way poison to My sheep. I have given her time to change her heart and turn away from her sin. But
she does not want to change. Those who partake of her deeds & teaching shall suffer greatly & the blind shall fall into a
ditch.
The process she uses is Osmosis. Any way she can gain access by gradual, often unconscious process of assimilation
until the hot is now diffused into mixture. I will spue lukewarm mixtures out of My mouth says your God. Is not My Word
as a fire! That burns up everything that is not precious metals & stones? What has My Word in common with mixtures?
Who shall stand against My plumb line? For these allied mixtures breed false security, all for the sake of peace & unity.
As they gradually absorb the facts of error & cling to them as gospel, many of my servants are to busy to detect this
subtle fine line among the people. And by avoiding confrontation, thereby have they empowered evil. Deceptive veils &
masks, hunting & snaring My sheep. Many of My servants have encouraged the hands of error.
The house looks all clean on the outside, with a white picket fence. Flowers growing, squeaking clean image. But I see
in the house! I see in the walls! I see into the hidden places! And I see the hearts! I say to you, judge Jezebel in your
house. Judge Ahab in your house! I see My sheep on many hills scattered from this foe. Like sheep without a shepherd,
without correct leadership. My leaders in this hour shall confront sin & Jezebel. She shall not reign in My house again!
Ahab shall not be empowered by his apathy & complacency!
Woe to the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! You are like foxes in the deserts, cunning
sly, deceptive! You have not gone up into the gaps, or made up the hedge to protect My sheep. But used My sheep to
exploit them & so you could advance in pride. Many have seen vanity and lying divination! Witchcraft in My house! They
say the Lord sent them, & I did not send them! They made others to hope that they would confirm their words. They steal
words from other prophets & intimidate My sheep so they will get on the band wagon. Many have seen lying visions and
spoken a lying divination, saying I sent them. I did not! Because they have spoken vanity & seen lies, behold I AM
against them! My hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies, they shall not be in the assembly
of My people. They have enticed & seduced My people. But the writing is on the wall, & I will discover the foundations!
Will you continue to pollute Me among My people? Will you continue to prophesy out of your own hearts? I AM calling for
repentance from these things, for I AM sending a raging fire in My house that shall not be quenched. You must master
these spirits or they will master you & rule over you & My sheep. I Myself shall bring down the house of Ahab & Jezebel
& those allied with them. Repent says the Lord! Rend your heart, I'm tired of outward shows! The hour is at hand & My
fire shall consume the sacrifices, for My vessels shall shine with fervent heat. No unclean thing will abide in My
manifested presence. The time is now, hear what I say to My church!

JN189-1. Hussein's son Uday and SUDANESE leader Al-Bashir hear of Jesus
Date: 21 April 1998
Saddam Hussein's wild son Uday, whose debaucherous lifestyle has been creating headlines for years, was bedridden
for some time last year after being shot. We have now heard from a reliable source that a young Christian called Rahkma
(name changed) "saw herself explaining the gospel to Uday in a dream". The dream made such an impression that she
immediately set off on her way to Uday's office in Baghdad. "I have a message for Uday from Jesus Christ, which I can
only give him verbally," she told the security guards, who initially suspected an unusual joke, but Rahkma persisted.
"Jesus Christ is a well-known person," one of the guards said, "so perhaps we should let the woman in," and spoke with
Uday. "There's a woman here who claims to have a message for you from Jesus Christ. We can't get rid of her. What
should we do?" Uday told his secretary to send Rahkma to him in his limousine. She spent 2 hours with him, and could
not only explain the gospel to him but also pray with him to invite Jesus into his life. According to the report, Uday was
crying as he prayed. "What can I do for you or your family?" asked Uday. "Nothing," replied Rahkma, giving him a Bible.
"I'm simply your sister now." Observers consider it unthinkable that Uday will publicly speak of his experience with Jesus
in Iraq's current religious and political climate. However, during a televised speech some days later, he spoke out for
increased tolerance towards Christians.
Rahkma, the same young Christian who spoke with Hussein's son Uday, recently travelled to Sudan following another
dream in which "Jesus asked her to go to Khartoum" to explain the gospel to the Muslim Head of State General Omar
Al-Bashir. Christian aid agencies speak of up to 1.5 million martyrs who have died since the start of the civil war in
Sudan. Bashir is known for his fiery sermons from the Koran. After a long wait, Rahkma finally had an opportunity to
speak with him after his sister arranged for her to attend a family celebration. He was just on the way out of the house
after an urgent telephone call when Rahkma got her chance: "You have one minute," he said. Rahkma said "I have a
message for you from Jesus Christ. If everything were taken from you, General, power, money, health, what would you
do, and who would help you? Jesus Christ is always there for you!" One minute turned into forty, and Al-Bashir listened
astonishedly to the gospel. At the end of the time, he asked Rahkma to pray for him. Observers consider this event
unprecedented, but Sudanese Christians have just informed us that restrictions on Christian meetings in Northern Sudan
were recently "inexplicably lifted by someone in high position."
These remarkable stories were confirmed to Joel News on 21 April by a reliable source in the Middle East. Our
spokesman said that one of his contacts in Sudan spoke this 17 year old girl from Iraq personally. Rahkma had to wait
for about two months before she got the chance to talk to Omar Al-Bashir. On the last day of the Ramadan (30 January
1998), when Omar attended a breakfast to celebrate the end of the Ramadan, she got an opportunity to share the gospel
with the Ugandese head of state.

JN189-2. Miraculous church growth in Sudan
Date: 25 April 1998
CHURCH GROWTH IN SUDAN Despite the harsh arabization and islamization policy by the government, the Christian
Church in Sudan is growing fast. In the slums of Khartum a revival has started. Small churches, often built of clay,
mushroom everywhere. The Jesus Film is shown every night in another church. Twenty years ago only 5 percent of the
Sudanese population was Christian. Ten years ago this number had grown to 10 percent. Now about 20 percent of the
people in Sudan is Christian! The Anglican Church has grown from 4 congregations in 1984 to 280 now. Because of the
arabization policy a strong Arab speaking Christian Church is arising which has the fire to spread the gospel even to
other countries in the Middle East. These Christians risk severe persecution and even death.
SUDANESE MUSLIMS RECEIVE DREAMS Many muslims come to faith in Jesus through God-given dreams. Like an
influential Nuba muslim in Sudan. One night he received a clear dream. He saw himself getting baptized in a Christian
church, while the believers sung a beautiful hymn in Arabic. He remembered the last part of this song very well: 'Receive
Jesus and you will be happy.' Then the door of the church opened and he woke up. "I noticed that the door of my
dormitory was open, but I know for sure that I had closed it the night before." He shared his dream with his wife and she
couldn't sleep that night. The next morning his son of 13 told him that he had had a similar dream. "I was in a dark room
when suddenly there appeared a light. Then I saw daddy with a cross in his hand, where this light came from." When the
Nuba man heard this, he decided the get baptized. His whole family is now receiving Bible lessons. These kind of stories
come in from all over Sudan.
MORE FREEDOM OF RELIGION IN SUDAN While in South Sudan a civil war is going on and the rights of Christians are
trampled, Christians in the North speak of more freedom of religion. According to an evangelist in Khartum, the
constitution was changed recently and now guarantees freedom of religion, freedom to evangelize and freedom to plant
churches anywhere in the country. He tried this out immediately: in March he held a street evangelism campaign of a few
days in the north of Khartum. The population is mainly muslim there. About 3,000 to 5,000 people showed up at the
campaign that included a showing of the Jesus Film. "People were even standing on the roofs to be able to see the film,"
according to the evangelist. "The gospel was not hindered at all. This is a miracle of God and a fruit of your prayers for
us." Despite the fact that most Christians in Sudan pray for peace in the war-torn country, this evangelist asked not to
pray for peace. "Just because of the war many muslims come to faith in Jesus."

JN189-3. 30,000 decisions for Jesus at crusade in New Delhi
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 1998
Christ for all Nations held a crusade in New Delhi, India, from 25 February to 1 March, 1998.
GOOD NEWS FESTIVAL New Delhi is a city of ten million people and is the capital city of the nation of India, as well as
the political nerve centre for the whole country. In addition to this, it is known as a Hindu stronghold, a fact that is made
even more significant by recent advances in the national political arena for the Hindu political party. The CfaN team
headed to this city only two weeks after the end of national general elections, to hold a Gospel outreach in the huge
Jawaharlal Nehru stadium. The event was billed as "The Good News Festival."
AMBASSADORS HEAR GOSPEL The Festival was launched with a VIP banquet that was held the night before the
stadium meetings began. Two hundred and fifty local and international dignitaries attended, among them a number of
ambassadors from other countries. Reinhard Bonnke preached a direct and clear Gospel message and many leading
citizens were seen to respond publicly to the salvation call.
250 CHURCHES PARTICIPATING Pastors and churches from across the city joined together to host the event and
Pastor Robert Jeyaraj was appointed as chairman of the event, overseeing the activities of the two hundred and fifty
participating churches. It was also planned that running simultaneously with the evening meetings in the stadium,
pastors and church workers from the region would be invited to attend a Fire Conference, which would be held each day
during the week. An idea of the excitement generated by the whole event can be gauged by the fact that over four
thousand delegates registered for the Fire Conference, many travelling considerable distances to be present. Reinhard
Bonnke, Peter van den Berg and Brent Regis handled the Fire Conference sessions. On the final day, this particular
event culminated with Reinhard Bonnke personally laying hands on the four thousand delegates before they each
received a complimentary copy of the book 'Evangelism by Fire'. There is power in the prayers of the righteous!
30,000 DECISION CARDS Despite restrictive security measures at the stadium entrances and unseasonable cold
weather, tens of thousands of people flocked to the meetings nightly to hear the Good News of the Gospel as Reinhard
Bonnke preached. The meetings were characterised by an amazing attentiveness among the large crowd, transfixed by
the Word of God as the Gospel message rang out across the vast arena. Each night the power of the Word was seen as
thousands upon thousands responded positively to the invitation to receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour, to the exclusion
of all other gods. The two thousand counsellors were kept very busy, sometimes late into the night, handling the many
respondents. By the final meeting, over thirty thousand decision cards had been handed in, and these were immediately
funnelled into the follow-up system to be incorporated into the local churches. The follow-up material was available in both
English and Hindi, the predominant local language.
HEALINGS FROM CANCER, BLINDNESS AND MANY MORE After the presentation of the Gospel message each night,
a public prayer was offered for all those who were sick. The crowd was amazed at the testimonies that followed as
people pressed forward to report what God had done for them. Of the many hundreds healed, only a small number could
be interviewed publicly due to time restraints, but the crowd shouted with joy as each person, together with witnesses,
gave glory to God for their healing. A young man by the name of Mr. Patel came with his father to report that his right
eye, which had been totally blind for five years, could now see perfectly. Everyone rejoiced as he correctly imitated the
preacher by lifting his fingers to the sky. A woman with tears in her eyes reported that a cancerous lump in her right
breast was now completely gone. The crowd erupted in a shout of praise. Miss Naidoo, a young Hindu woman, was
brought by her relatives to show that despite the fact that she had been deaf from birth, she could now hear very clearly.
Reinhard Bonnke demonstrated this by whispering into her ear and she was able to shout out the reply.
OPPOSITION Fanatics opposed to the Christian message were so incensed by the miracle testimonies, that they
printed out special handbills denying the validity of what was happening inside the arena each night. These they
proceeded to hand out to the thousands who were standing in line at the stadium entrances. What the people thought
about it all was graphically illustrated at the close of each meeting by the fact that while thousands of the handbills lay
discarded on the ground, not a single follow-up booklet was picked up by the cleaners!
BENEFITS When the time finally came for the CfaN team to leave New Delhi, the general feeling of all involved could be
summed up in the words of the Festival Chairman Rev. Robert Jeyaraj. "We have seen the power of the Gospel in action
during these days in Jawarhal Nehru Stadium, and we will reap the benefits for many months to come." Only the Lord of
the harvest knows the full extent of the harvest. You, our Missions Partners, are a vital part of this harvesting team and
we praise God for each and every one who is faithful in prayer and financial support. He is the One who sees and He is
the One who rewards. To God be the glory!

JN189-4. Prayer focus on Ireland
From: "Diarmuid" <Diarmuid@gonations.nwnet.co.uk> Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1998
What happened in Ireland on Friday the 10th of April, was something I never thought I would see in my lifetime, it was
and is something amazing. It is a wonderful opportunity that God has given the people of Northern Ireland and the people
on the island of Ireland as a whole, for peace, healing and restoration. This healing and restoration is also needed for the
church of Jesus Christ in Ireland, to be a whole body the way Jesus intended it to be.
God has done an amazing thing and I hope that He will richly bless each one of you who has been praying for however
long for peace in Ireland - as an Irish man I am so grateful to you and praise God for all he has done through your
faithfulness.
But it's only the beginning. Its the dawn of a new day, the ushering in of a new era, that is if we continue to cry out to
God for grace and mercy to be given out in abundance to all those involved.
God has blessed us with leaders in the political realm who were prepared to take risks and lay down some of their own
ideals, aspirations, agenda's and pride. The church needs to learn from these men and women so that the church will do
the same and will be prepared to stick its neck out and take risks and stop trying to be always politically correct. Let us
pray that from within the church will come the role models for every stratosphere of community life, especially for the up
and coming generation who have known nothing but trouble and violence. 65% of the population in the South of Ireland
are young people looking for answers. New Age and alternatives to Christ flood the market place. These young people
need your prayers that the Christians in the North will come and share with them their new life.
God can powerfully use leaders and Christians who are prepared to say "your will - not mine be done", and they are the
type of people the island of Ireland needs right now. Pray that God will give leaders favour with their people, so that they
will be able to persuade them to vote in favour of the peace deal.
God is without a doubt blessing Ireland (North & South) in many ways during this time and he has said much about how
he will bless Ireland in the future and how he will use the people of Ireland to bless again nations all over the world. Pray
that once again revival will sweep the land, remembering that it was the people of this island who kept the gospel alive
while the rest of Europe was being over-run by Vandals, Barbarians and such like. God used Irish people powerfully to
bring the gospel all over Europe, may He do it again as continental Europe now, like then, sits largely in darkness and is
in desperate need of Gods love and grace.
We need to keep praying that all of these things will come to pass. That the people of Northern Ireland will be healed of
all the pain and be restored. We also need to be prepared to go and just listen and be alongside them, we need to take
risks and be brave and go and face the powerful emotions of hatred, anger, loss, mourning, fear, bitterness and many
more besides. This process of restoration is not just for the people of Northern Ireland, but for the people of the South of
Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England and beyond. The eyes of the world are watching and God will use all that this
troubled land and people have learnt through this torrid, terrible time to bring restoration and healing between peoples,
churches, Catholic & Protestant, Jew & Gentile.
We need to keep praying too that nothing else will fill the void left by terrorism and intimidation by all paramilitaries.
Since the first ceasefire in 1992 the drug scene in Ireland has become drastically worse. Believe it or not: because of the
vigilante tactics adopted in the North by paramilitary organisations, the crime rate in Northern Ireland has been one of the
lowest in Europe (in terms of normal crime).
So please, please keep praying for Ireland North and South and all the people in it, that people's fears of this being yet
another failed attempt will not be realised. Rather that this will be what we have been hoping and waiting for for nearly 30
years and then maybe we will be able to heal all the other wounds which stretch back over centuries!! We want to
challenge the church to keep praying and fasting for this crucial time in the history of the island of Ireland - don't stop
praying, in fact pray even more.

JN189-5. Prayer wave for Iran
From: RapAdvance@aol.com Date: Fri, 24 Apr 1998
On 29 May and 30 May 1998 there will be a World Day of Prayer for Iran, including a real 'prayer wave'.
It begins far out in the ocean. Shock waves from an earthquake beneath the ocean floor push a wall of water toward the
distant shore. The tsunami builds in size and intensity as it thunders toward land.
This is the vision of "Prayer Wave Iran '98--World Day of Prayer and Fasting." The goal is to involve more than 10 million
believers in a wave of prayer that will thunder around the world, sweeping thousands--perhaps even millions--Iranians into
the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord
directs his love, at night His song is with me--a prayer to the God of my life." Ps. 42:7&8
Vision: Involve the Body of Christ in a strategic, synchronous, unified wave of prayer that sweeps the globe so that
Unreached People Groups in Iran can hear the gospel, know the gospel, and start an indigenous church multiplying
movement.
When: 6PM 29 May-6PM 30 May
How to achieve this vision: Establish a global network of Prayer Stations that will assist in the translation and distribution
of specific prayer requests. Prayer Stations are individuals, local churches, cell groups, small group Bible Studies,
families, mission-focus circles, Sunday School classes, prayer partners, individuals and Great Commission agencies.
Anyone willing to commit "The Wave's" conveyed needs to prayer is a Prayer Station. The further commitment of these
Prayer Stations to convey "the Wave's" requests to other prayer warriors and mobilizers enables the global network to be
built.
Why become involved: "Deep calls to deep" and God's people intercede for work among the Muslim World. Almost 50%
of Iran's 67 million people are Persian Iranians. Very little work is currently being done with them. Iran has over 40
Unreached People Groups (UPGs). In New Testament terms, a UPG is a "nation." A UPG involves thousands, perhaps
millions that have no existing Great Commission work done among them. Each UPG has a name, a language, a culture,
and a history of its own. Strategy Coordinators are presently building the foundations for work among Iranian UPGs to:
locate where they are geographically, develop means to reach them with the Gospel, raise up a remnant of Believers
among them, disciple that remnant, and begin an indigenous church multiplying movement. All that is done must be
bathed in prayer. It is not the abilities of individuals that will lead Irani Muslims to Christ. Obedience of God's people to
follow His command and take the Gospel to all "nations" will. Prayer is foundational to obedience. If God's people are not
closely communicating with Him, they cannot know His will.
Please send responses via e-mail to: <RapAdvance@aol.com>; put "The Wave" on the subject line.
Thank you for your covenant to support the furthering of God's work in Iran. We will rush you additional materials to
enable your participation.

The Joseph Project

Tony Black
Joseph Project Appeal

AN URGENT APPEAL FOR YOUR HELP PLEASE
Concerning the Joseph Project
In 1996 the Lord sent a strong prophetic warning to the leaders of the Messianic Jewish Alliance (believers in Jesus
/Yeshua) concerning the imminent danger facing their people in Eastern Europe & Russia. This warning, which has been
thoroughly tested by Christian leaders around the world, states that they will soon either be driven out or frightened from
their homes. MORE THAN ONE MILLION will arrive in Israel with only the possessions they can carry.
It is now becoming increasingly politically obvious that these events are very close. The situation is worsening daily, and
the Jewish people are now asking for our (Christian) help. I believe that it's very important for the Church to respond with a
full heart of compassion. As well as being a very real need, which is enough in itself, it will also bring a blessing upon us:
For the LORD God of Israel has said...
"I will bless those who bless you". (Gen 12:3)
I have a strong conviction that the Lord is calling us to become deeply involved. We have often failed the Jewish people
before. I could say a lot more, but perhaps if I just ask you to pray for the Lord's heart in the matter it will suffice. We are
speaking of the needs of the people amongst whom He chose to manifest Himself. "The King will reply, 'I tell you the
truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matt 25:40)
PROJECT OF CRITICAL NATIONAL IMPORTANCE
This is a prophetic project and must be spoken of and prepared for prophetically. Without prophetic insight the National
leaders in Israel can only react to a crisis as it occurs. The Joseph Project is of critical importance to the spiritual and
physical welfare of the nation. In the Bible, Joseph prepared in order to avoid a huge catastrophe. So must we.
But, regardless of prophecy, there are already some desperate needs.
That God is bringing the people back to the Land is now undeniable. Biblical Prophecy is being fulfilled in our lifetime. In
just 50 years the Jewish population has increased nearly ten-fold. Help is already badly needed to cope with the existing
burden. I believe that the Lord is issuing is a prophetic call to all Christians. We must respond now… It is time !
FINANCIAL GIFTS are urgently needed now for seed finance and to purchase products in the land, supporting
businesses and ministries of messianic believers. Our initial target is circa 5 million US dollars (approx. £3.5 million /
15m shekels)
I am asking you, in fact I'm pleading with you, to please help this project to act on your behalf with whatever you can
afford. All gifts no matter how large or small will be truly gratefully received and well used. Please make your love offering
for the people of Israel payable (in any currency) to "The Joseph Project" and it send to:

Response to the Joseph Project

IRN NEWS DIGEST
Please forward this to encourage friends to subscribe.
This month's "special edition" is just to say a huge THANK YOU.....
The response to the Joseph Project is phenomenal - although a better word might be "supernatural". I've truly never
known anything like it !! Thank you so much to everyone who has sent words of encouragement and confirmation,
and most of all Thank You LORD for allowing us the privilege of being involved. These are incredible days to be
alive ! Biblical Prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes \o/
One of the most encouraging things for me has been the way in which fellow Christians have overwhelmingly
affirmed the need to stand with the Messianic Jews (believers in Jesus/Yeshua) in the Land at this crucial time. It is a
privilege for me to be able to say to these dear folk (who incidentally are suffering considerable persecution for their
stand) that there are thousands upon thousands of Christians who are with you, who love you, and who will support
you. Baruch HaShem !
Please join us in giving thanks for the gifts already received towards the $5million (£3.5m) budget. One brother
(who wishes to be anonymous) rang us immediately saying that the LORD had told him to send £20,000. What an
encouragement. ! This is capturing people's hearts in a way like I've never seen before \o/
The prophetic words have clearly been accurate (the text of the first word received in 1996 is below for those who
have not seen it yet). I'm also enclosing a FAQ for your further info. If you are not yet involved and would like to be,
please do send us a message :o)
May The Lord God of Israel bless you. Tony

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE JOSEPH PROJECT - updated Aug 18th 1998
A. HOW WILL FUNDS REACH THOSE WHO NEED IT ?
B. HOW ARE THE FINANCES ADMINISTERED?

D. HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION WILL REACH ISRAEL

E. WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL CREDENTIALS ?
F. WHAT CRITERIA IS USED TO DISTRIBUTE AID IN THE LAND?
G. COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT....
H. WHAT INSIGHTS DO YOU HAVE ?
I. WHAT IS THE STRENGTH OF YOUR CHRISTIAN WITNESS ?
J. WHAT ABOUT THE ARAB PEOPLES ?
K. WHAT ABOUT SECURITY ISSUES ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. HOW WILL FUNDS REACH THOSE WHO NEED IT ?
BLESSING CENTERS: Our aim is to distribute goods and services through fifteen "Blessing Centers" in the Land. Thus
far we have established or formed partnerships with nine, all of which are being managed by local Messianic believers. A
list of some of the Centers will be published on our website shortly. However, some wish to remain anonymous for
security reasons (one has already been fire-bombed!). We ask you to understand that Security is a very real issue.
INDIVIDUAL MINISTRIES: It is also our intention to support smaller autonomous "mercy and hope ministries" such as
those found on the Reconciliation International website. These are often not "big name" ministries but they are no less
worthy of every encouragement. Many of these in turn support individuals working 'at street level' with recent immigrants
and amongst the destitute and homeless. With your support this network will grow rapidly
SERVICES: With regard to funds (i.e. cash) it is primarily our intention to purchase products in the land (thereby
supporting the economy) and distribute to those in need through the Blessing Centers. However, on occasion we also
need to purchase essential services such as medical, dentistry and limited construction work (electrical, plumbing etc).
DECISION MAKING: Messianic leaders will guide the way in decision making. We believe it is vital that the Joseph
project be seen by the people of Israel as a "Messianic project supported by Christians". As the "Christian partner" in
this we want to bless them not control them !
B. HOW ARE THE FINANCES ADMINISTERED?
Funds are managed by the Board of our registered Charity (legally still known as GRM-UK but name-change pending to
"Reconciliation International") which has a remit for "fund-raising" within its Constitution. I'm Chairman of the Charity, the
accounts of which are scrutinised by the Charity Office of the Inland Revenue and are subject to an annual external audit.
Details must by law be made publicly available each year. We shall also display the accounts at the end of the financial
year on this website.
C. HOW WAS THE PROJECT ORIGINALLY FUNDED ?
The answer, in short, is miraculously ! In the USA $10,000 was given to the office of the MJA to get the ball rolling. In the
UK/EURO the Lord enabled my wife and I to sell our home in order to make the investment (with the support of good
friends). We do not say this to be prideful, only to point out that we own nothing and, by the Grace of God, we have no
desire to. Because this project involves very large sums of money, our personal finances and those of staff members will
be audited by a Chartered Accountant.
D. HOW MUCH OF MY DONATION WILL REACH ISRAEL AND DO YOU PREFER MONEY OR ITEMS ?
We can truthfully say that not one penny you give us will be spent on anything other than the Joseph Project. Our policy
is to provide as much funding directly within the land as possible and retain only the proportion needed for essential
allocations. These would include the purchasing of goods which are unavailable in the Land (eg. some of the medical
supplies and equipment) shipping charges and mandatory legal and accounting services which ensure the utmost
integrity of the process. Our budget for admin and publicity is deliberately set as low as possible, at 12% and 5%
respectively. We ask our donors to please understand that without "seed finance" we cannot we do the work the LORD
has commissioned us to do. In summary, whilst donated items are much needed and welcomed, monetary gifts allow us
a greater flexibility to make allocations in ways that are best suited to the needs of any given moment.
E. WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL CREDENTIALS ? (i.e. of Tony Black, the Chairman of RI)
I have e been involved with Charity fundraising for eleven years -- as the founding Director of Careline, as Chairman of the
Bereaved Families Fund (Dunblane) and an Executive Director with The Leprosy Mission (Patron: Diana, Princess of
Wales). I have raised, managed and distributed well in excess of ten million dollars (US). My Resume can be found on
our family website. With regard to Israel we have excellent contact with the Messianic leadership, both in Israel and
worldwide, and we seek to always maintain a strong relationship with Civil authorities.
F. WHAT CRITERIA IS USED TO DISTRIBUTE AID IN THE LAND?
This is mostly at the discretion of the Messianic leadership. As a "Christian element" of the project, we want to bless
and not to "control". For legal accountability reasons we do ask for a full audit trail, especially on items of a value in
excess of $100. At this point we envisage that roughly 80% of allocated funds will go to purchasing and shipping items
and 20% to construction and medical services (such as Physicians, Dentists etc), although it is hard to gauge the exact
needs on an annual basis. The outbreak of war or the sudden increase of immigration would alter these ratios
dramatically.
G. COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT....
PROPHECY: We state that the Joseph Project is prophetic in nature based upon several words received by various
respected leaders. However, it is more practicable to point people to the "natural" indicators such as the increase of
persecution, for example in the Ukraine. Thus we say it is "now becoming increasingly politically obvious". (The full text
of the first prophecy in 1996 can be found below)
DETAILS: In general we are deliberately non-specific in order to protect identities and locations. At some point we may
need to be involved in emigration as well as immigration. It is prudent to maintain a steady footing with the Governments
of the problem areas (i.e. by not being "too spiritual" or derogatory). In general the less information we make public the
better, but we are always completely open to private questioning from donors and sources that are known to us..
H. WHAT INSIGHTS DO YOU HAVE (about the current situation) ?
Our main observation is that there is certainly no complacency in the Land concerning the constant threat of danger. We
receive validated reports of frightening reality on almost a daily basis. Justice is a real issue for all sides, and we maintain
an unbiased approach. However we can only successfully work with those who have a true heart for peace. We can never
embrace a syncretistic pseudo-gospel of "reconciliation" under the guise of tolerance and peace.
I. WHAT IS THE STRENGTH OF YOUR CHRISTIAN WITNESS ?
RI is a Christian organisation and we seek always to glorify God through our Lord Jesus (Yeshua). It is our belief that it is
only the Love of God that will bring a lasting solution. Men must decide for themselves but we firmly believe that only His
love can bring healing to the deep wounds and fears which have been suffered by so many. Physical aid alone can never
achieve this. If what we do is motivated and empowered by the Spirit of Truth, then the Truth will speak for Himself.
Unless God's presence goes with us then we are lost. Unless we are envisioned, commissioned and empowered by the
Love of God then we are doing nothing more than dead works. The fruit of this ministry will be its only valid lasting
testimony.
J. WHAT ABOUT THE ARAB PEOPLES ?
Reconciliation and peace is at the very heart of this organisation. We know that God loves all mankind, and that all have
sinned and fall short of His measure. We are not going to make judgements as to who is worthy to receive loving help
and who isn't ! We therefore offer support to those who work legally across all borders - and especially amongst widows
and orphans.
K. WHAT ABOUT SECURITY ISSUES ?
The policy of the Joseph Project is strictly to "render under Caesar". In other words we obey the law at all times ! At no
time will we take any action that would threaten the security, stability or peace in the land. There are others who must
deal with the political situation. We believe that our calling and anointing is to display the Love of God, in the Peace of
God. As such we are non-military, non-political and non-sectarian. We also maintain an open book policy, remaining
open to question in the finest detail (which anyone who has been through Israeli security can tell you is very thorough
indeed !) to all sides, be they Arab, Jew, Messianic Jew, Christian or Hindu.

Prophetic word received February 13, 1996,by Joel Chernoff, the General Secretary of the Messianic Jewish Alliance
(MJA)
"The Jews of Eastern Europe and Russia have between 3 to 4 years before they will be either driven or frightened out of
Eastern Europe and Russia. Over 1 million of these people will end up in Israel. The deeper purpose of our effort to send
aid to Israel at this time is not only for those that are in need in Israel now but also for those who are to come. This
message is prophetic. We must speak prophetically. The Lord will confirm and go before us.
"Even as Joseph prepared for famine for seven years and Egypt was able to prosper in times of great physical disaster,
so we are to bring leadership (like Joseph) to this effort. The Lord will go before us.
"The prophetic word has not been heard in Israel before kings and national leaders for at least 2000 years. God wants us
to speak prophetically. Not only will Christians, Messianic Jews and secular charities respond, but Jewish people and
Jewish organizations will respond and follow our prophetic lead in this prophetic preparatory phase. They do not have
prophetic vision and will naturally follow our prophetic lead. It's been many centuries since the prophetic word has been
heard in Israel.
It is time!"
Later...Friday 23, 1996 "The prophetic part of this vision is not that Eastern European Jews will leave suddenly for this is
stated in the prophets and is becoming obvious politically. The prophetic revelation is that it is being given to us to bring
warning of impending trouble to our people. To be a pivotal part of bringing a solution to this potentially painful and
burdensome task of trying to feed and tend to the needs of so many who will come with just the clothes and the
possessions they carry with them.
"It is time to let the compassionate loving heart of our Messiah shine through brightly to a hungry people. But not just our
light, but the light of Yeshua in so many Gentile brothers who will quickly come to our side when they hear this prophetic
message. The desire to help the nation of Israel and the Jewish revival is already firmly planted in many. They only await
the right time and place to activate these spiritual desires. They await for us to bring leadership for this is God's plan and
His heart. This is truly an important moment in God's prophetic plan for Israel both physically and spiritually.
"Is not this God's desire that we should be like Joseph in the midst of our people? Do they not desperately need to taste
of the Messiah's salt that we bring? Are these not words and vision we already have seen and spoken? It is finally time
for the torch of Messiah's love to be set on a high hill for all Israel to see. It is time to walk humbly in faith and follow
God's lead. He will lead and confirm these words. The prophetic word will be received. It is time."

JONAH
By Nita Johnson
"Jonah is about to arise from the belly of the fish and take the Gospel to the Gentile; the first of which will be his Arabian
brother."
For days the Holy Spirit has been speaking this to me. I have both wept and rejoiced with Him over this eminent event.
The great fish in which Jonah was safely stowed until his repentance; a repentance, which led to his breaking forth into
the determined call of God; is for our modern day Jonah seen as the nations of the world. It has been to the Gentile
nations that Jonah (Israel) has been temporarily albeit unwillingly vanquished by our Lord. The two days are now nearing
their end, and the third day will through the same repentance open the mouth of the whale of modern captivity.
In Matthew 12:39-41 Jesus claims to be the fulfillment of this prophetic word, which He in fact proved to be. "For even as
Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth. " However, in Matthew 16:4 the focus upon Himself is not there. He simply prophetically
declares: "A wicked and morally unfaithful generation craves a sign, but no sign shall be given it except the sign of the
prophet Jonah." Jesus then turns and walks away leaving them to wonder about the meaning of His strong words.
This statement was again made in response to the challenge of the religious leaders regarding His divine authority. His
declaration was made to signify the future of Israel. Namely that Israel's faith would be awakened two millenniums and
they would recognize Him as their Messiah, a reality to which so many were blind in the hour of His visitation. So, two
thousands years ago Jesus prophesies that to the wayward nation Jonah would be a sign of hope and that the day would
come when faith would stir them to a compassion for the nations ushering them into the fulfillment of their purpose in
God. As we move into the third millenniums as Jonah was a sign to Nineveh, Israel will be a sign to the modern Gentile
nations of the world. Won't it be exciting!
God is even now working to bring about this wondrous event of the generations. Jesus further showed me His plans for
Israel in a series of three visions.
First I saw a vision of the Torah. It was lying open on a table. Gradually, the face of our Lord Jesus and Israel's Messiah
came up out of the pages until His face was fully revealed and lay superimposed upon the pages of the Torah. Then a
voice spoke to me saying; "I am beginning to reveal their Messiah to the Rabbis of Israel from the pages of their Law. In
this hour they shall clearly see Him in their own Law, first in Jerusalem, then in the outer-most parts of the earth."
The Lord was not hinting here that Rabbis have not seen Christ in the Law in the past. What He was referring to was the
fact that the nations religious leaders en-mass were now going to have the veil removed from their eyes to behold the
nations Messiah.
I printed an article in an earlier newsletter about the fact that Jesus would be appearing to Rabbis to reveal Himself as the
Messiah. I received a call in response to this. The individual shared that Jesus appeared to about 40 Rabbis sitting
together in a single room in Israel, as they were in prayer. He revealed Himself as the Messiah, and they believed. He
told them not to share this with the general public, as it was not yet time. Well that number has now grown to 400. The
day of Israel’s awakening is at hand.
The first vision then disappeared, and the next vision appeared. I saw a map of the nation of Israel. Then suddenly, I saw
living virgins popping up on the face of the map all over Israel. As they stood upon the map looking heavenward and
glowing with the glow of heaven, a voice again spoke to me. "The salvation of the Lord is coming upon the land and
revealing the virgins of Israel." It will be a mighty awakening of
Jewish souls being born into the kingdom of God. Praise His faithful name!
That vision ceased and-a third vision took its' place. I saw a Ford galaxy from the 60s. Then the voice. again spoke
saying; "I am going to downgrade their economy." I knew this would occur to force a crying out to the Father by His
firstborn.
Again, I find myself weeping in grateful praise to our Father in heaven. Won't You give Him thanks with me for all the
wonderful things He is about to do?

The Jordan is Parting

by Mike McClung
Greetings in the Mighty Name of Jesus!
It's been quite awhile since I have sent any posts in to share what the Lord has been saying or doing. His dealings have
been quite intense personally and in our little fellowship, and I finally have a liberty to share some of the things the Lord
has been doing and saying.
We are in the midst of a week of corporate prayer and fasting presently, and the Lord has been speaking and dealing
with our hearts in a new level of repentance. Here are some of the things that have been spoken or transpired:
The Lord spoke to me some weeks back that He was calling the Body to bring the flesh to the Cross, once and for all.
Areas in our lives we know are out of order, according to the Logos (the written word), and we continue to make excuses
for and gloss over, the judgments of the Lord would begin to penetrate. His specific word was that His grace was lifting
from those areas. Where there had been much patience and longsuffering AND grace (God's ability to do in us what we
can't), this grace was being lifted because the Lord was calling us to the next phase of His will for the Body. As a
prophetic sign of this, our cat, who my daughter named Grace, was hit by a car near the edge of our yard and killed. She
NEVER went close to the edge of the yard for any purpose. She was a verified wimp. She ventured out into area she was
not suppose to be in, and paid the ultimate price for it. God's mercy and grace have moved on to the next place,
preparing us to enter the fullness of His inheritance, and just like the Israelites in the wilderness, if we don't deal with the
things He has called us to deal with and obey, we will get picked off by an enemy by not keeping up with the cloud.
We have had some tremendous storms here in the East TN area over the last month. The lightning has been terrifying
and awesome at the same time. I believe lightning, in scripture speaks of the word of God coming forth in judgment upon
the powers of darkness (makes for an interesting word study). For the last few weeks there has been a violence in the
heavenlies that I have never seen or felt over or area. I don't believe storms are necessarily symbols of the enemy. In Job
38:1-2, God spoke to Job out of the whirlwind (storm). I believe the storms have been symbols of the Lord answering our
intercession and our warfare-worship, as the angel in Rev. 8 mixed the incense of prayer and worship with God's heavenly
incense, cast it back to the earth and judgment came on the enemy's kingdom.
One of the most significant prophetic events in my personal ministry took place three weeks ago, and since then the
Lord has confirmed it as something He was doing Body-wide. I went down to visit my mother and grandmother (who is 98
and if not for her prayers during my teens, I would probably now be dead), and we were having dinner together. In walks
my Aunt (my mother's sister) with an old beat up, ragged Bible, and sets it down next to me and said that she didn't
know why this was in her stuff and that she thought I would probably want it. She was going through her belongings as
she was getting ready to move. I opened the cover up and found this was the first Bible I had ever been given. My mother
had written in the cover my full name and the date of my birth as the presentation date. I carried this Bible all through my
elementary years to Sunday School, etc. The Holy Spirit came upon me in such power, I had a hard time containing it at
the dinner table. On the drive back to my home, the Lord spoke to me and said that He was making the way for the
original callings and destinies on the lives of His people to be fulfilled...NOW! This would begin to take place immediately,
almost seemingly overnight. For those who are walking in the midst of His will, in loving obedience, the original calling,
anointing, and destiny would begin to come forth (see Jer. 1 - "before I formed you in the womb...I called you to be a
prophet to the nations..." etc.). For those who have been faithful and diligent, your ultimate destiny is about to spring
forth! (That's why the dealing in the area of pride and ambition have been so heavy!)
The Lord has been showing three major areas of strongholds that are superintended by the antichrist spirit that He is in
the process of destroying. One is in the area of LAW. So often, in the church, we have substituted New Testament law
for Old Testament law. The fear of man is a form of law. Law is any external form, behavior, etc., that we trust in for
acceptance with God other than the Cross, or that controls our obedience. Whether it be what Hollywood thinks we
should look like, what our denomination says we should believe and/or teach, or thinking what others in a worship service
might think if we extravagantly worshipped God, they are all externals other than the word of God we rely on for
acceptance with God and man. Through the Cross, we are to be led internally by the Spirit, and the only thing externally
we should focus on is the word of God. Anything else that determines our behavior and obedience is law. Law only stirs
up the sinful nature (see Rom. 7). Only living by the word (externally) and being led by the Spirit puts to death the works
of the flesh and keeps our walk pleasing to God. A second area is in ambition, or self-seeking. Many of the churches in
our areas started from church splits or people moving out to fulfill "their" ministry. I believe this is one of the single
greatest strongholds of disunity. We can intercede, war, and pray against disunity, but the Lord has let us know that all
the "spiritual" weapons will be useless if we don't obediently begin to serve one another from love (not feeling). Phil. 2:1-5
are scriptures the Lord has given us not only to pray to DO! It's the day-to-day acting out in obedience that will truly
destroy this stronghold of the antichrist spirit. The third thing, and it seems like these three are built on one another, is
self-deception. Living according to someone else's expectations (law) only stirs up the sinful nature which makes us
"self-aware" instead of Christ-conscious. As with Eve, this will lead us to self-seeking which ultimately leads to self-
deception, which is rooted in pride. Rev. 3:17 reveals the last stages of self-deception, when we say we are rich and
increased with goods and have need of nothing. In God's eyes, we become most wretched. We begin to measure
ourselves by ourselves instead of by Jesus and the word of God. Criticism, fear of man, and many other evils (James
3:15-16) enter in. The three fold cord of 1) self-awareness (law), 2) self-seeking (ambition), and 3) self-deception must be
broken in prayer, worship, but more importantly by esteeming others better than ourselves and serving them through
loving obedience.
Another thing the Lord spoke concerned ministers. During one of our storms of late, lightning struck our house one night
while we were asleep. Needless to say I woke up startled. I immediately looked at the clock and it said 2:22 AM. The
Holy Spirit said, "1 Samuel 2:22." The scripture refers to God's pronouncement of judgment upon Eli because he would
not discipline his sons as they led Israel astray by their immorality and selfishness. The Lord said that His loving
judgments were coming upon pastors and leaders who would not bring discipline to their congregations. The Lord said
that the congregation must be sanctified and the message of the cross must return to the forefront. I asked the Lord to
give me a concise definition of the message of the cross that this simple man could understand and preach. He said it
was simply slavery to Jesus. Anything else is anathema. The natural progression in Christian maturity and intimacy is
servant, friend, Bride. We have churches full of people who are lost who think they are okay with God. To be born again,
according to the New Testament, one must surrender their life to the Lordship of Christ (slavery to Jesus). According to
the apostle Paul, this is the only message the Lord will back up with resurrection power. Eli's day is over. God is raising
up a whole new type of leader that will not only lay their lives down for the sheep, but will discipline them with loving
confrontation when needed.
One last thing concerned this week. At the beginning of our week of prayer and fasting, the Lord gave me Joshua 1
through 5 as a basis for this week. At the beginning of the week He said that the waters were going to begin to part for
the body (maybe just a remnant presently) to begin to go in and possess the fullness of God's inheritance. This can only
be done corporately. Joshua and Caleb had to wait until a body of believing believers who would obey was formed to
possess God's inheritance. No one person or congregation can do it! But, there have to be some pioneers who will press
on to prepare the way for the rest to come. It is a time to sanctify ourselves (Joshua 3), which means to separate
ourselves to the Lord for His holy purposes. The enemy's heart is melting because he sees the church beginning to stand
up as one entity (Joshua 2). The presence of the Lord is in our midst, and God's people are heeding the call to
intercession, repentance, and worship and the waters are beginning to roll back. Take this with a grain of salt...but I
believe the Lord said that this week, there would be a completed pushing back of the waters, but it would take a few
months for the Body to see and respond. The Jordan will remain open for an appointed time to cross over. Going through
this baptism of fire (the washing of the water of the word will be like fire this time) will test every relationship and fiber of
obedience. The bride will be washed in the fiery word of God which will sanctify (John 17:17) and enlighten (Luke 24:32).
The heart of stone, represented by the twelve stones left in the Jordan will be taken out (Ezekiel 36) and a fresh
circumcision of heart accomplished (Joshua 5). THEN...the captain of the Lord of Hosts will appear and lead us in victory
over ALL the enemies.
I know this is a lot. May it encourage and challenge you to press into His glorious will and presence!
Grace & peace,
Mike McClung Pastor, Lionheart Fellowship Maryville, TN

THE JOY SET BEFORE US

by Heather Beacham
Christians worldwide have had a glorious revelation of God’s love over the past three years. Something we had confessed
by faith has become our experiential reality. God is reinforcing the pillars of our faith - security in God’s love being a
major one.
It is my belief that in the very near future, the power and presence of God will increase so dramatically that the fear of
God, the next pillar, will be restored to the church. In Exodus 20:18 whilst God was giving Moses the Ten
Commandments the Israelites saw thunder, lightening and smoke and heard a trumpet, they trembled in fear being so
close to His powerful presence. They implored Moses to be their spokesman so that they would not have to face God
themselves. In verse 20, Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, God has come to test you so that the fear of God
will be with you to keep you from sinning".
By restoring the fear of God to the church, struggles, bondages, bad habits and lack of focus will be quickly overcome.
Being constantly aware of God’s presence, combined with the reinforced knowledge of His love, will consolidate and
strengthen the body. The sheep will be separated from the goats, the "defactos", who want all of the benefits without the
commitment, will be divided from the betrothed, who have already given their hearts and souls. Submission to God given
leadership will also benefit, Exodus 14:31" And when the Israelites saw the great power of the Lord displayed against the
Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in Him and Moses His servant".
As God is rightly revered and restored to the centre of our lives, we can receive the revelation of who we really are and
what God requires of us as a corporate body representing Him. This is so important, Jesus knew who He was, who His
Father was, and why He was here, therefore He could be obedient, even unto death for the joy set before Him (souls).
Before Peter got these revelations at Pentecost, he couldn’t even admit to knowing Jesus when the pressure was on.
Now we can ask for the gift of repentance. We know that repentance is a key to revival (2 Chron 7:14) "If my people who
are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I
hear from heaven forgive their sins and heal their land". If we humble ourselves before the Lord, He will lift us up. The book
of Joel shows a beautiful blueprint for God and His people to work together, the three chapters showing a three part plan.
In Chapter 1:13-15 the call to repentance, fasting and prayer, all over the world many churches are in this stage now.
Chapter 2:1 "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of
the Lord is coming". It is close at hand. Get ready church. Verses 12-13 is Gods grace giving us a chance to get things
in order. Verse 13 "Rend your heart and not your garments". Get real! Let’s not be pharisees and put on a good show, we
must ask the Lord to help us lay our hearts bare before Him and allow His word to pierce us, to cut us so that we cannot
ignore it, but must take action for He is coming for a bride which He has prepared for Himself. Verse 28-29, the great
outpouring of God’s spirit on all flesh, signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth. Verse 32 "And everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved!" Chapter 3:9 , Urges us to get ready for war, proclaim, preach, evangelise".
It’s spiritual warfare, it’s time to stand up and be counted, to put all we have learnt into practice. Arm yourself and let the
weak say I am strong.
So what are the spoils of this war? Verse 14, "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of the Lord is
near in the valley of decision". This is the joy set before us, that through our obedience to almighty God and His plan,
multitudes will receive Christ as their Lord and Saviour and be saved from eternal separation from Him. As the true Bride
of Christ is revealed in glory and power we will do even greater works than our priceless Lord. Christ has taken hold of us,
now with all that is within us, let us take hold of Him and His purposes. God is truly able to bring to pass all that He has
spoken with or without us, "but as for me and my house we will gladly serve the Lord".

Jesus reveals Himself

Hi guys,
Just want to share a couple really neat testimonies from our pastors, Yvette and Mark. They just got back from vacation
in Florida. While they were there, they went into one shop and the lady right away started telling them her troubles and
crying. I don't know all the details but she was Jewish and the shop wasn't doing well and there were family problems
etc, etc. She exclaimed "It's enough to make me want to change my religion," so Yvette started explaining to her that
she didn't have to change her religion because Jesus is really the Messiah the Jews have been looking for. Suddenly the
lady told her "I had a revelation of that two months ago. I prayed to God for help and He sent Jesus and told me He was
Messiah. But I didn't really know what to do about it." Of course Yvette told her! And she prayed to accept her Messiah
right there. They also prayed that God would prosper the shop and provide her needs. They said every time they dropped
by after that the shop was so busy they could hardly find a minute to talk to her!
Later they were looking at motel rooms. As they looked at one, trying to decide whether to take it, the man made some
comment about God. They began talking and he told them he was raised Muslim, but that awhile back He had prayed
and asked "God, who are You?" Then Jesus came to him and revealed Himself to him as the one true God. He believed
in Jesus in his heart, but didn't really know how to accept Him and didn't tell anyone until Yvette and Mark came along!
Wow! Talk about ripe harvest fields!
I have been praying that Jesus will reveal Himself to my (many) Pakistani Seihk neighbors, to the Hindus and Moslems
throughout the world, and to the Jews. Now that I have seen fruit, I will be praying all the harder! I think revival is going to
be REALLY interesting!
Be blessed,

The Jubilee Trumpet

Jeff Treder
"Jubilee" is an interesting word. It’s the source of the English word jubilation—fervent rejoicing. In the spirituals of the
Negro slaves in America, the Year of Jubilee became a code word for emancipation.
According to Leviticus 25, the Year of Jubilee is a year for forgiving debts, a year of release from bondage, a year of
thanksgiving to God and depending on God for provision. Every fiftieth year was to be a special year, consecrated to the
Lord. The Hebrew word for Jubilee, yobel, is also the word for trumpet, particularly the ram’s horn trumpet. At the close of
the Day of Atonement on the 49th year, the trumpet was sounded throughout the land to announce the coming Year of
Jubilee (Lev.25:8-11). This was a year of holiness unto the Lord (25:12,17), when God’s people were reminded that they
were aliens in the land (25:23) who belong to the Lord.
In all these ways, the Year of Jubilee foreshadowed the New Covenant. In Christ, all our sin-debts are forgiven, and just
as we have been freely forgiven, so we are to forgive anyone who wrongs us. We have been released from bondage to sin
and Satan: "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." (John 8:36) We are to give thanks to God in all
circumstances (1Thess.5:18); we belong not to ourselves but to God, who bought us at the costliest price (1Cor.6:19-20).
God provides for all our needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Php.4:19). We are aliens and strangers in
this world; our citizenship is in heaven (Heb.11:13-16, 1Peter 2:11-12, Php.3:20). We are to be living, in Christ, a
perpetual Year of Jubilee.
Both literally and symbolically, the trumpet call is the means by which the Lord summons His people. In Numbers 10:1-
10, God’s people in the wilderness were given their marching orders. The priests were to blow the silver trumpets for
these four purposes: (a) to call the people together; (b) to begin the march; (c) when going into battle, to call forth the
power of God; (d) during festivals, as part of their worship. Over and over in the prophets, sounding the trumpet is used
symbolically to indicate the prophetic voicing of God’s word.* [Isa.58:1, Jer.4:5, 51:27, Ezek.33:3-6, Hos.8:1, Joel
2:1,15.] The probable root of yobel (Jubilee, trumpet) is yabal, meaning "to bring forth." Just so, the prophet brings forth
God’s word to the people. Amos gives us a vital teaching on this subject:
When a trumpet sounds in a city,

do not the people tremble?
When disaster comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?
Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing His plans
to His servants the prophets.
The lion has roared—who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy? (3:6-8)
This is the classic Scriptural statement of the prophet’s burden. When the Lord has plans regarding the judgment or
salvation of humankind, He always reveals those plans beforehand through His prophets. For the prophet himself, when
the message is one of judgment, it becomes a burden of excruciating knowledge which he is obliged and compelled to
announce, even though it makes him weep with anguish, and even though the Lord may have told him his warning would
fall on deaf ears (for example, Isa.6:9-10, Jer.5:20-21). Mercifully, the Lord’s announcement of judgment is almost always
followed by a promise of gracious forgiveness for those who repent.
"If the trumpet does not sound a clear call," Paul wrote, "who will get ready for battle?" (1Cor.14:8) This statement comes
in a chapter where Paul is emphasizing the importance of prophecy within the church (see verses 1-5, 39). For us, under
the New Covenant, to sound the trumpet is to speak clearly and forcefully what God is saying to us here and now: it is to
speak prophetically, to prophesy. The trumpet of true prophecy will accomplish the same purposes as the priestly
trumpets in the Sinai desert: to call God’s people together, in the unity of the Spirit; to set them in motion, as the Spirit
directs; to call forth God’s power in spiritual warfare; and to lead the people into fervent worship.
When necessary, the prophetic calling of God’s people together may be for the purpose of corporate repentance and
intercession. As Joel proclaimed:
Blow the trumpet in Zion,

declare a holy fast,
call a sacred assembly.
Gather the people, consecrate the assembly;
bring together the elders,
gather the children, those nursing at the breast.

Let the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride her chamber.
Let the priests, who minister before the Lord,
weep between the temple porch and the altar.
Let them say, "Spare Your people, O Lord.
Do not make Your inheritance an object of scorn,
a byword among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’" (2:15-17)
In coming days, this trumpet call for repentance will go forth more loudly, clearly, and often, until the church hears and
responds.
The first fruit of repentance is heartfelt worship, and in the Old Testament the trumpet call was often associated with
worship. When the ark of the Covenant was brought into Jerusalem, seven priests blew trumpets before the ark, and "so
all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts, with the sounding of ram’s horns and trumpets, and
of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps." (1Chron.15:24-28) Later on, when the ark was brought into its new home
in Solomon’s temple, 120 priests blew trumpets as part of the sacred celebration (2Chron.5:12-13). Still later, when the
reforming King Hezekiah purified the temple after years of idolatrous abuse, he had the priests sound the trumpets again
(2Chron.29:25-28). On all these occasions, the trumpets were announcing the presence of the Lord with His people.
That’s what all the excitement was about.
Trumpets are also a primary Biblical instrument of warfare. In Joshua 6, at the battle of Jericho, the ram’s horn trumpets
were sounded repeatedly, just as they were again in Judges 7 in the battle against the Midianites. The purpose of the
trumpets was to call on the Lord and, again, to announce His presence. The principle that "the battle is the Lord’s"
(2Chron.20:15) pervades the whole of Scripture. When the people of Israel were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the
Red Sea, Moses prophesied to them, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring
you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
(Ex.14:14-14) When Nehemiah was directing the rebuilding of the wall around Jerusalem, he had trumpeters sound the
alarm when an enemy threatened, and told his fellow workers, "Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us
there. Our God will fight for us!" (Neh.4:20) It is His presence that makes all the difference in battle, whether physical or
spiritual.
What the Lord’s presence accomplished at the battle of Jericho was to throw down the city walls. The book of Hebrews
furnishes another insight on this: "By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven
days." (11:30) The power of God’s presence brought down the walls, but He was acting in response to His people’s
obedient faith, a faith they demonstrated by taking the risk of looking mighty foolish after walking around in circles for
seven days right under their enemies’ noses.
It’s exactly the same today: sounding the trumpet—prophesying in faith at the risk of being considered a fool—still brings
down walls. "The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it an unscalable wall." (Prov.18:11) But God’s
prophet warns against this sort of pride: "God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands. He will
bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low; He will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust." (Isa.25:11-
12) The main instrument the Lord uses to bring down walls is the trumpet of true prophecy.
What kind of walls? For one, prophecy can break down the walls of separation—
racial, ethnic, or class walls—that people have erected between themselves. Christ has overcome the bitter division
between Jews and Gentiles: "For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the
dividing wall of hostility
. . . ." (Eph.2:14) No walls of prejudice can remain standing between believers who truly love and obey the Lord—but it
may require a prophetic word, from the pastor or another member of the body who listens to God, to break down such
walls that have been a part of many people’s "baggage" all their lives. Likewise, the prophetic trumpet sounds the call to
the church’s unity in Christ (John 17:20-23, Eph.4:3-6), breaking down the denominational divisions that have fractured
the church ever since Paul wrote to the Corinthians (1Cor.1:10-13, 3:1-9). This prophetic call to unity is very high on the
Lord’s agenda right now.
The Lord said through Isaiah that when His people rely on oppression and deceit, their sin becomes "like a high wall,
cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant." (30:13) Perhaps you have been part of church boards or
committees where someone attempted to get his way, and maybe got it, by browbeating with sarcasm and bluster
anyone who dared to disagree. Perhaps, as the prophet Nathan said to King David, "You are the man!" (2Sam.12:7)
That’s oppression, church style. And very likely you have taken part in that popular church game where we all pretend
that our spiritual and emotional lives are on a par with the angel Gabriel, and then we go home wondering just how many
of those other folks are as phony as I am. That’s deceit. These walls of oppression and deceit are cracked and bulging,
ready to collapse, the Bible says—but it often takes someone with prophetic insight and anointing to give the wall a final
shove. Prophecy exposes the oppressor and calls him to repentance, just as it exposes all our masquerades and calls
us to be real with one another, "speaking the truth in love." (Eph.4:15)
A major wall that true prophecy breaks down is the wall erected by false prophets. This is the subject of a lively passage
in Ezekiel 13, where the Lord likens the false prophets’ efforts to someone building a flimsy wall and covering it with
whitewash to conceal the defects. Then, speaking through His true prophet Ezekiel, the Lord says: "In My wrath I will
unleash a violent wind, and in My anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. I will tear down the
wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare." (13:13-14) I
need to stress as strongly as possible the significance of this word of warning coming through the prophet Ezekiel. No
doubt the Lord could have used other means to combat false prophecy, but the true prophet is the means He has
chosen. With hurricane force the true prophet exposes the foundation of false prophecy, revealing that it is something
other than Scriptural truth. Here we see the source of the true prophet’s great strength, that he is standing on the solid
rock of God’s eternal word.
Paul warned Timothy that in the last days, false prophets and teachers, claiming to be speaking for God, would lead
people astray (see 1Tim.4). Timothy was currently ministering in Ephesus (1:3), and Paul urged his young protege to
warn the Ephesian believers, with true prophetic authority, to shun the false prophets and their doctrines. In our own day,
many systems of false prophecy and doctrine have taken root, and some have flourished and become worldwide in
scope. Notable among these is Mormonism, which claims to be the only true church of Jesus Christ on earth and is led
by men who are allegedly the only true prophets on earth. The Mormon priesthood performs occult rites inside huge neo-
pagan temples, and, for its theology, holds the blasphemous doctrine that God began His career as a man and worked
His way up to godhood—and the same process of deification is open to every Mormon male. That is false prophecy to
the uttermost, and it’s also a multi-billion dollar growth industry. The only thing that will bring down a spiritual stronghold
as gigantic as Mormonism is the power of true prophecy—true men and women of God, fully mature and equipped in the
Spirit, anointed by the Sovereign Lord to speak His word with supernatural authority and power.
Finally, and most importantly, the trumpet of prophecy breaks down the walls we have built to separate ourselves from
God. In Ezekiel 43, the Lord brings this accusation against His people: "When they set their threshold by My threshold,
and their doorpost by My doorpost, with a wall between them and Me, they defiled My holy name by the abominations
which they committed; therefore I have consumed them in My anger." (43:8 NKJV) On the literal level, the reference is
probably to one of Solomon’s palaces that was built right next to the temple. That was bad enough, but the
"abominations" that went on in there (after Solomon’s time, most likely) made it even worse.
How does this apply to us? The connection is that we, the body of Christ, are now the Lord’s temple. Our Lord jealously
guards His prerogative of building His church His way. When we get involved in the ambitious fleshly business of
"churchianity," presuming to build His church using our own ideas and energies and strategies—that is, the world’s way
with a religious veneer—we wind up with a "building" all right, but it’s not His and there is a solid wall between Him and
us. A bad scene. But God is merciful, and He enables His prophets to identify the differences between what He builds
and what we build, and then, like a clear trumpet, to call us to repentance. Brothers and sisters, may we respond to that
call! Hardly anything is worse than to be separated from our Lord and not even be aware of it. What most separates
believers from the Lord is sin, but religion comes in a close second.
The words spoken by God’s true prophets have never been widely popular, even within the church. Popular or not, the
prophetic word is now beginning to be anointed with a degree of authority and power beyond what the world has seen for
many a century—indeed, I believe, beyond what it ever has seen. When Ezekiel was taken to a valley of dry bones,
representing the people of God, and told to prophesy life to them, what happened was a type of what the Lord is doing
through His prophets even now: "So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and
stood up on their feet—a vast army." (37:10)
Over the last several decades, the Lord has been restoring the prophetic office to His church. I am one of those who
believe that, since the Reformation, He has been restoring the "fivefold ministries" of Ephesians 4:11: "It was He [Christ]
who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers . . .
." These seem to have been restored in reverse order from that in which they were withdrawn from the church during the
first several centuries, when the leadership gradually but inexorably transformed the church as we see it in the book of
Acts into the corrupt behemoth it became in the middle ages.
During the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century, I believe, the Lord restored the closely related ministries of
pastor and teacher in place of the bureaucratic priesthood of medieval Catholicism (see Ezekiel 34 for a prophetic word
on this). This restoration matured during the seventeenth century in the ministries and writings of men like Jeremy Taylor,
Richard Baxter, John Owen, and John Bunyan. Then during the eighteenth century, in the ministries of Count von
Zinzendorf, George Whitefield, and John and Charles Wesley, and in the Great Awakening spearheaded by Jonathan
Edwards, the Lord restored the ministry of Spirit-led evangelism, which during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
developed into a worldwide missionary movement.
In our own day, I believe, the prophetic office is being restored to the church in the ministries of men like David
Wilkerson, Bill Bright, John Wimber, Paul Cain, Carlos Annacondia, and Rick Joyner. These men and others with
prophetic calling and anointing have the responsibility of sounding the trumpet to call God’s people together in heartfelt
repentance from "our ways" and into spiritual unity in Christ, and to announce the Lord’s presence in spiritual warfare and
in worship. As the day of the Lord draws near, the trumpeter’s responsibility becomes all the greater:
Blow the trumpet in Zion;

sound the alarm on My holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord is coming. (Joel 2:1)
When that Day finally comes, it will not be men who blow the trumpet: "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will
appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the
sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from
the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other." (Matt.24:30-31)
Meanwhile, we look forward to the restoration of the apostolic office and ministry. Some men alive today, I believe, are
being prepared for apostleship but have not yet been manifested. Scripture gives us some explicit criteria by which to
recognize a true apostle of Jesus Christ. The first is that he has seen Jesus. In defending his apostleship against some
in Corinth who questioned it, Paul asks rhetorically, "Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our
Lord?" (1Cor.9:1) After his arrest in Jerusalem, Paul twice defended his apostolic calling by recounting at length his
encounter with Christ on the Damascus road (Acts 22:6-16, 26:12-18). Of course the other original apostles all saw
Jesus both before and after His death and resurrection. One who would claim the apostle’s mantle today, I believe, must
have seen Jesus and been commissioned by Him in the same experiential, tangible way that Paul did, and must
succeed in proving his claim as successfully as Paul did. By this I mean not just convincing others that his encounter
with the Lord was the real thing, but also convincing them, as Paul did, by the fruits of his ministry.
A second authentication of a true apostle is that he is anointed with the power, beyond all other servants of the Lord, to
perform miracles. Again defending his apostleship to the Corinthians, Paul declares that "the things that mark an
apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles—were done among you with great perseverance." (2Cor.12:12) Earlier he had
reminded them that "I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were
not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on
men’s wisdom, but on God’s power." (1Cor.2:3-5) To the Romans he wrote that "I will not venture to speak of anything
except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done—by
the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit." (Rom.15:18-19)
This brings us to the nature of the apostolic ministry. The word apostle (from Greek apostolos) means "one who has
been commissioned and sent." He is a representative or ambassador. So, to one degree or another, are all Christians, all
of us who take Acts 1:8 as our personal mandate. What sets the apostle apart, in addition to his direct commissioning
from the Lord, is the degree of authority he exercises. When Jesus taught, His listeners marveled because He taught
with a degree of authority they had never encountered (Matt.7:28-29). When He commanded demons, they had no choice
but to obey. After His resurrrection, He declared that "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me."
(Matt.28:18) "Authority" here is exousia, meaning supreme sovereignty together with the supernatural power to enforce it.
It was this supreme authority which He conferred on His apostles and which He will again confer when the apostolate is
restored.
In the apostle himself, this authority is constrained by several things. He is absolutely submitted to the sovereign will and
purpose of the Lord Jesus. If to others he seems full of power and authority, before his Lord he is meek and simple, eager
to hear and quick to obey. He has taken fully to heart the Lord’s instruction that the one who exercises the highest
authority in the kingdom of God must be the servant of all (Mark 10:41-45)—must consider the needs of others before his
own, must manifest purity and humility of heart. These qualities of obedience and humility are fully formed in him
because he has been refined in the fires of suffering and tribulation, and his spirit has grown to full maturity.
If the supreme authority of the risen Christ is constrained in His apostle, it is correspondingly powerful in its
manifestation. The apostle’s interpretation and application of God’s word, both the written Scriptures and the utterances
of living prophets (which must be in accordance with Scripture), will penetrate our hearts with Holy Spirit conviction. Like
Peter and John at the Gate Beautiful (Acts 3:1-10), he will give what he has, the divine authority and power to heal injury
and disease, to cast out demons, and to raise the dead—all subject, of course, to the leading of the Spirit.
A prophet’s primary task is to speak the words of God to the people of God—words of warning or comfort, rebuke or
summons. An apostle, on the other hand, is sent to the nations with the gospel message, which "is the power of God for
the salvation of everyone who believes." (Rom.1:16) He leads the church in fulfilling its primary purpose, and he leads
mainly by example. "For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many," Paul testified, "so that they may be
saved. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." (1Cor.10:33-11:1)
Another characteristic of the apostolic commission is the geographic scope of the apostle’s authority, which might be a
metropolitan area or a wider region. James, the brother of Jesus, seems to have exercised apostolic authority over
Jerusalem (Acts 15), and Paul’s authority extended through much of the Roman Empire. This regional scope of the
apostles’ spiritual authority will bring them into confrontation with the highest potentates in the demonic realm. Through
this climactic, final confrontation between darkness and light, Peter’s prophecy will be fulfilled, that Jesus "must remain
in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as He promised long ago through His holy prophets." (Acts
3:21) Jesus Himself affirmed that prior to His second coming, "Elijah comes and will restore all things." (Matt.17:11) This
refers to another ministry like that of John the Baptist, but even greater, preparing the way for the Lord’s coming. What
will be finally and completely restored is nothing less than the kingdom of God manifested in and through the church.
"The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this." (Isa.9:7) And He will accomplish it through the fully restored ministry
of His apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.
When the apostolic anointing has been restored to the church of Jesus Christ, the battle lines will be clearly drawn. Very
little gray area will remain, and nominal Christianity will have lost whatever appeal it still possesses. The forces of Satan
will know beyond a doubt that their time is short—the devils believe, and tremble (James 2:19). This will be the
Antichrist’s hour of dark glory, and his legions will lash out in every direction in desperate fury.
But the church, the bride of Christ, will be entering her time of complete unity and purity, without any blemish or wrinkle.
No matter what fires of tribulation her Lord brings her through, no matter how cruel the Antichrist’s regime, she will be full
of jubilation, truly living in perpetual Jubilee. She will be, spiritually, a lean clean fighting machine. She will lay siege to
the enemy’s fortresses, and their gates will fall at the sound of her voice, for her voice will be singing in sweet resounding
melody the praises of the Lamb of God. At the sound of that song—the song of the Lamb—being lifted up by many
millions of voices in perfect harmony, giving praise and honor and worship to Jesus Christ, mighty demonic warriors will
quail in terror and cover their ears, and the light radiating forth from the bride will blind their eyes and they will trample one
another in their flight. But the bride will scarcely notice their rout, for she will only have eyes for Him.

Judgments in the Earth

by Bill Somers
Preface:
This is a fairly long article with a long appendix at the end. This article was first written in 1991 and revised in '92. It was
never released for several reasons, the main being that a particular individual refused to be quoted. And the material I
quoted from him made up one of the most important parts of the article.
This past week, July, 1998, the Lord has greatly impressed me to release the article and to deal with its subject matter. I
have planned to greatly revise and correct it, but instead I will give it out in its present form. I will substitute references to
Brother Anonymous for certain quotes, and leave the rest unchanged, however dated it may be.
There are minor revisions made July 25, 1998
Isaiah 26.9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:
for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
What I am about to present here is a Prophetic Word for America. Rather it is a series of words from various times and
sources and my one commentary about what they mean.
God is going to punish America. He will use food shortages, economic chaos, diseases, natural disasters and enemy
attack. In Old Testament language this would be judgment by famine, pestilence and sword. In this article we will look at
the Sword Judgment, the last and worst in the series of God's judgments.
It is important to see that the sword judgment is coming. And to know why the Lord is sending Judgment. But it is also
important to know what the judgment will be and what end result, what purposes of God will be accomplished by it.
WHY JUDGMENT?
All prophecies of judgment must be regarded as conditional. We know that the Lord delights in mercy. We stand in
intercessory prayer to give Him reason to grant mercy and reason to avoid bringing judgment. Yet we also know that he
loves judgment. His throne is established on mercy and judgment. His is continually showing mercy but he is also
continually bringing judgment. The bible is full of examples of judgment coming after many words of warning. But how
many examples are there of judgment averted by heeding the word of warning?
So we must realize that any word of judgment is conditional and can be stayed. But we must also see that there a great
potential element of inevitability involved in any word of judgment.
I do not claim to be a Prophet, nor to hold the Office of a Prophet. But I have assembled some prophecies. And I have
heard from the Lord myself, confirming them. And I have His word of instruction saying "Publish, Conceal Not!" So I
humbly submit this to the Body of Christ, to be judged by the apostles and prophets.
WHEN PROPHECY CONFLICTS WITH THEOLOGY Now traditional eschatology teaches that Christ will judge the
nations of the world at the last battle, Armageddon. For seven years prior to this there will be increasing plagues, wars
and other judgments leading up to Armageddon. Just before this he will withdraw his people, the Church, from the world
and the wrath poured out on the world, through an event called the Rapture. Now in recent years we find words of
prophecy coming along that do not line up with the traditional theory.
2 Chronicles 20
20. And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth,
Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your
God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
The Word of God instructs us to believe in Him and to believe his prophets. So lets look at what the prophets are saying.
(A quick comment on the Rapture. Those who teach on Rapture are not prophets. Those who are prophets do not teach
Rapture. So the Church is going to be here for the duration. Jesus said 'Occupy till I come.')
Let every word be confirmed by two or three witnesses (2 Cor. 13:1). This is the principle of confirmation. When one word
comes along that is out of the ordinary, highly specific and or not directly confirmed by the Bible, it 'goes on the shelf.'
When confirming words come along, then it must come back off the shelf!
WILKERSON BLEW A TRUMPET

First let's consider that of David Wilkerson.
David Wilkerson wrote 'Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth' in 1985. the first paragraph of chapter one reads thus.
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpectedly,
and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America -- and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the greatest light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as
flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backsliding,
its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption, its
drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its
rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestation's, its cheatings, its robbings, its
dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation
and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The Church is asleep, the
congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this message.
Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and
prosperity will publicly denounce it.
I no longer care. God has made my face like flint and put steel in my backbone. I am blowing the Lord's
trumpet with all my might. Let the whole world and all the church call me crazy, but I must blow the trumpet
and awaken God's people. Believe it or not, America is about to be shaken and set aside by swift and
horrible judgments. Many other praying believers who have been shut in with God are hearing the very same
message - "Judgment is at the door! Prepare, awaken!"
Ever since this message came to me, I have been searching God's Word from cover to cover. No prophecy is
valid unless it is positively confirmed by God's holy Word. I discovered in the Word God's pattern of
judgment.....
He goes on to say, later in the chapter that, this will be an attack from Russia. And "The great holocaust follows an
economic collapse in America. The enemy will make its move when we are weak and helpless."
He says that
"America will not Repent"...."God promised to preserve America only if it turned from its evil....This nation
has not repented but has turned its back....I see almighty God even now slowly turning His back on this
nation. America is on the verge of committing the unpardonable sin by resisting the Holy Ghost. Soon, there
will be repentance only for individuals, but not for the nation."
The remainder of the book discusses at great length the sins of America and the Scriptural basis for her judgment at the
hand of God.
Note that he says that America will be destroyed in this attack. The attack will come well before Armageddon, the day of
the Lord. And that America will not repent, but will suffer judgment unto total desolation.
He does not hold out any hope of staying God's judgment through prayer or by the coming of revival. He feels the
judgment is unavoidable, perhaps because he feels America will not repent.
The Lord has shown David Wilkerson that Judgment, by the sword, is coming. And anointed him greatly to preach the
word of warning and the reasons for this judgment. But I believe that the Lord does not reveal all that he is doing to any
one individual. There may be more to the picture here and we need to look at what others are hearing from the Lord.
WHAT SHALL WE SAY TO ALL OF THESE THINGS?
One approach is to totally ignore it. It's just alarmist ravings.
Another is to accept it understanding that Christians will be raptured and are not going to suffer any wrath. This approach
boils down to ignoring it also. Saying it's coming, we can't do anything about it but we don't have to worry either. (The
great flaw in Dispensational theology is it's allowing you to ignore the Word of God.)
Another approach is to intercede for mercy and revival, hoping to delay inevitable judgment.
Another approach is to intercede and seek revival. But to also prepare for judgment and its aftermath. This means
operating in a greater understanding of God's purposes and direction. The need to seek the Lord is top priority at any
time; especially now.
What have the other prophets been saying?
END TIME EVENTS

Sometime in 1989, a friend gave me a pair of tapes that contained a very unusual prophecy. By Brother Anonymous, was
a tape of a television program on some Christian station somewhere. I could not identify the show or the personalities
involved. The broadcast took place sometime during the second Reagan term, from the context anyway.
In the interview, he went into the problems and sins of America; and the coming judgments and revival. And then he
started to discuss the coming war. Here is an excerpt of his speech.
"Crisis draws us together. Every time there's a crisis, people come. It's been that way from the very
beginning. God told the children of Israel "When I do these things, then you'll seek me early. When I do
these things, then you'll call upon my name. When I do these things to you, then you'll know that I am God."
It's been that way always. It's still that way today. And God still moves that way to get us to bow our knee.
"Crisis is coming to America. To get us to repent, to bow our knees. To get us to give Jesus Christ Lordship
over our lives. Not just to know Him but to know all of Him. Not just to have heard of him but to know all
about him. To be intimate. We're gonna end up bowing our knee before God Almighty. And God will save us.
"In the war that's coming we will not be defeated, but we will be hurt. We will be neutralized. We're not going
to come out of it unscathed. China and Russia are both going to invade our territory. There's going to be
tremendous nuclear, or limited nuclear warfare. But tremendous bombing and a new type of weaponry that is
going to hit the east and the west coasts of the United States. And those cities. The purpose in that is to
desolate the populous areas. So then when invasion troops and invasion forces come in there'll be fewer
people that they have to deal with.
"And they are not really after our cities; they are gonna be after our farms. They're gonna be after our
agricultural land. That's what they're coming after. That's why they are gonna wipe out the populous areas, or
try to, and then invade the middle of America.
"I've seen missiles coming from submarines, to do it. And for some reason, the Lord told me, the missiles
that Russia has are not accurate, and so they won't depend on those greatly. But they'll depend on
submarine warfare. The missiles will come from submarines. But they don't have a long range and so they'll
mainly attack the coastal areas.
"But the great thing is that we'll win. It'll look like were going to be defeated. It'll bring us to our knees. But
were gonna win. At the same time, not only will we be neutralized but Russia will be neutralized. Russia will
have - nothing - after it's all said and done. And we'll have nothing after it's all said and done. Basically, we'll
have life. There'll be some life left.
"But when Russia's neutralized and America's neutralized, then you'll see the Anti-Christ arise in power.
That's when he'll arise. And he'll say 'Ah, now' to himself or to those around him, 'since I don't have anything
to worry about in America, I'll leave it alone. The United States, I don't have to worry about it; it's no longer a
power. I don't have anything to worry about with Russia, it's no longer a power. So I'm gonna concentrate all
my forces upon this European segment.
"But there is a force, Israel, I've got to deal with. Because it's a thorn in my side. And God says 'I'll put a
hook in your jaw and I'll draw you out. He's gonna put a hook in the jaw and He's gonna draw him out. And
they're gonna come against Israel. But they won't have the United States to worry about. They won't have
Russia to contend with. It'll be the anti-Christ forces that are gonna bring this invasion of Israel.
"But were gonna be neutralized and we won't be able to intervene. Only God can intervene. And in a way,
that's what God wants. Is that when Israel can't say 'Help!' to anybody but God. Only God will they be able to
say help to. And when they say, 'Daddy, help me!' he'll help them. And he'll intervene, Miraculously!
"But that's the time period that were coming to. And so not a lot of people have thought that China would be
involved in the invasion. But China is gonna be involved in the invasion. A lot of people said well that's
impossible because Russia and China hate each other. Well they're gonna unite for a common cause. And
when you unite for a common cause, each one of them will probably be thinking, 'Well when it's over with, I'll
take care of the other guy.' And so were gonna be invaded.
"China will still have enough people, after it's said and done. China will still have enough people to send
millions and millions. A hundred million marching toward Israel. They won't be technological giants. But
they'll be giants in physical numbers, numbers of men. Numbers in the army that they'll still be able to
amass. But they'll join, they're gonna join Russia in this coming invasion.
"God will supernaturally intervene. But the time frame it's gonna leave us with is that you'll see a lot more
horse and buggy's on the roads than you'll see cars. I've seen a time when there's very, very few automobiles
on the road, and a lot of horses. A lot of buggies; a lot of wagons. Some of them are really strange wagons.
It's like they didn't know how to build them. They just constructed anything that would haul something. It's
like people who didn't know how to do, how to build but did the best they could. And so you saw a lot of
strange things on the road.
"When I have visions, like this, the Lord gives me visions or dreams, it's as if I went through this time period.
So I can remember seeing certain things. Just like I can close my eyes and I can see 'em just like I can see
you. It's like I lived through it. I lived through the horse and buggies. I lived through a time when there was no
radio. I lived through a time when there was no TV. I lived through a time when the people didn't know if there
was any government.
"So for a period of time, there was government by God through the people. And God literally formed
theocracy. Not a democracy, not a monarchy, not a king. But a theocracy. For He told people what to do.
Men were led by the Spirit of God. They made decisions based upon what the Holy Spirit of God said to do.
And they lived.
"And if they needed water, they walked out. The Holy Spirit says "here!" They drilled; Here; and there was
water. They didn't have to drill ten times. They drilled one time. There was the water.
"So it's gonna be an interesting time period that were entering into. A lot of people are anti that. I can't help
it. This is actually what's going to take place in the United States of America.
"But I tell you the Power of God! The power of God that's coming in this next move. That will move here is
going to be quite dramatic....
"The Lord wants this word to come out. He wants the church to hear. The Lord God is with them in all these
things that are coming in the earth; coming stock market crash; coming famine; coming gangs that are going
to start roaming when welfare is greatly cut back. Eventually there will be no welfare.
At the end, you will note , he mentions the power of God coming in this next move. He is referring to the coming revival,
and spends a lot of time later in his talk about what will take place then. Notice in the last paragraph he mentions social
chaos and economic collapse. These are the other judgments that precede the sword judgment, they are the pestilence
and famine. The time of revival will also be a time of judgment. There will be increasing judgment but along with it will
come increasing revival.
I found this word intriguing and encouraging, offering more hope in that it balances the warnings with encouragement's.
RICK JOYNER
The Harvest by Rick Joyner also considers this coming time period. He sees a time of increasing anointing for harvest
(revival) and increasing chaos throughout the world, and the U.S. He mentions some judgments in passing but does not
elaborate on them. Neither does his prophecy follow through to the end of the period.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, PROPHET

Shortly after obtaining this tape, I suddenly remembered that I had read something very similar several years earlier. In a
book by Gordon Lindsay, "Will our President Die in Office?" there was a chapter that recorded "George Washington's
Vision". (CFNI) I had packed the book away one time when moving, but was able to find it right away. The details of the
vision were remarkably similar. So in effect this is a confirmation of Brother Anonymous's prophecy, in a vision given 200
years earlier. Here are the pertinent details.
"The following is an account of a vision supposedly received by George Washington while at Valley Forge.
"I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at
this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I
beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful being. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders
not to be disturbed, that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of the visit. A
second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious
visitor except a slight raising of the eyes.
"By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the
being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak, but my tongue had become
useless, as if paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could
was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor.
"Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew luminous. Everything about
me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than
before. I began to feel as one dying or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined
accompany death. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move. All were alike impossible. I was only
conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion.
(Here, Washington describes the vision given him by the angel. The First and Second perils come and go
and now the third...)
"Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy
angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he
sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were
soon joined into one. And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of
armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which
country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole
country and burn the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up.
As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions
in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the
voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and
fearful blast.
Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the
dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word
'UNION,' and who bore our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens
attended by legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived
were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and
renewed the battle.
"Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look
and learn.' As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and
sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought,
leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
"Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the
bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: 'While
the stars remain, and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' And taking
from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'UNION' he placed upon the Standard while the people,
kneeling down said, 'Amen'!
"The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at
first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in
the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted; Three
great perils will come upon the Republic. The Most fearful for her is the third. But the whole world united shall
not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.' With
these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had
been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United States."
When I had first read this vision, some years earlier, I dismissed it as so far out it was incredible. It seemed totally
beyond the realm of possibility. Today I see it as confirmation of the other prophecies.
I received a rhema word from the Lord, saying "I have prepared a sword against this land." Now was this also a 'Nineveh'
word that could be averted through revival and repentance? It seemed that the Lord intended to send judgment but
desired to give revival! Apparently he will do both!
AMERICA WILL BURN!

My next confirmation came by way of a tape circulating around with the appealing title "America Will Burn!" Here is the
core of the message of that tape.
(This material is taken from a tape titled America Will Burn! which is distributed by the League of Prayer PO Box 4038,
Montgomery AL 36104. It consists of a conversation between an interviewer, Duduman and an interpreter. The language
of the revelations is somewhat awkward because the interpreter is doing a running translation of Duduman speaking in
his native tongue.)
Duduman tells something of his experiences under communist persecution in Romania, and his supernatural deliverance
with the assistance of the Angel Gabriel.
He leaves Romania and comes to America but is greatly disappointed by his treatment here. At a time of deep
discouragement, he once again encounters the Angel Gabriel....
"He said "America will burn." I said "How will America burn?" I said why did you bring me here, why didn't
you let me die in jail in Romania." He said, "I told you to have patience." and he said get on this here next
me. I got on something. It wasn't a vision. It wasn't a dream. I was awake like I'm awake now. And he
showed him all over California. He showed him Las Vegas. And he said, 'Do you see what I've shown you
here?" He said this is Sodom and Gomorra and all of this, in one day it will burn."
"He went and he showed him New York and he said "This is New York. And he said this is Sodom and
Gomorra. In one day it will burn." He went and showed him Florida. And he said, "This is Florida." And he
said, "Everything that I've shown you, in one day it will burn." "I said, 'How will it burn in one day?'" Because
the Russian spies have found out the most powerful nuclear warehouses in America. And when the
Americans will think it's peace and safety, the communists from America will start a Revolution against the
government, and the government will be busy with them. And then, he said, from the ocean, from Cuba, from
Nicaragua, from Mexico, and he told him two other countries but he don't remember these. And they will
bomb the nuclear warehouses. And America will burn."
...And the Angel said also; he said that "The Lord has blessed this country. Because of the Jewish people
that is in this country." He said that "over here he has 7 million Jewish. Which they never tasted of torture.
They never went through tortures; through hard times; and the Lord has blessed them in this country. But
they don't want to recognize the Lord. They started sinning. And they started all kinds of evil things. And the
Lord wants to punish them together with America. And Israel is not recognizing the Messiah, because they
put their faith on the Jewish people from America. And the Lord will punish America.
And then when America will be punished, all the people will be frightened. The Lord will give power to China
and Japan, and other nations. And they will go against the Russians and they will beat the Russians. He
said they will push them all the way to the gates of Paris. Over there they will make a treaty of peace.
And all the people, they will turn towards Israel. That's when the war of Armageddon will be. He said that
Israel will be frightened. They will not have the help from America no more. And then they will call upon the
Messiah. That's when the Messiah will come. In the help of Israel.
But the church must meet the messiah. We must get ourselves ready so we can meet the Lord. Because
Christ will set on the Mount of Olives together with the church."
And he told him this, "Tell this to all the people. Tell them to read from the bible." I asked him, he said, "If
you're the Angel of the Lord, where does it say in the bible what you just told me?" And he said "Tell them to
read this. In Jeremiah 51:8-15, and Revelation, chapter 18. Over there it tells exactly what will happen to
America. And how America will burn. And the battle that Christ will go against, he'll fight against all the
nations. How Christ will fight against all the nations." He said "Tell them to read from Zechariah, chapter 14."
Brother Anonymous's vision and Washington's agree in many details. Duduman's message from the angel only covers
only the bombing attack. Note how it mentions specific areas to be bombed which fit in with the coastal areas mentioned
by Brother Anonymous. He also gives other details of how this attack comes about. The full text of the Duduman
message is included in the appendix.
PUNISHMENT OR A FINAL END?

To my mind these prophetic 'words' clearly support each other. The Lord quickened a scripture from Jeremiah and gave
me to understand that it expressed his heart and intention toward America as he brings this judgment on us.
Jeremiah 30: 10. Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O
Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return,
and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make [him] afraid.
11. For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have
scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee
altogether unpunished.
My understanding of this is that the coming judgment is a chastisement. That the Lord will "not make a full end of"
America but "will correct ... in measure, and will not leave ... unpunished."
He also gave part of Isaiah 48, later.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed
them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I showed [it] thee:....
9. For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it
[even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Another scripture the Lord gave me regarding this situation is Jeremiah 50.2.
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, [and] conceal not: say, Babylon
is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken
in pieces.
The words "PUBLISH, AND CONCEAL NOT" are the Lords instructions for what he has shown me.
PERSONAL CONFIRMATION
One of the signs that you have begun to really believe something, is when you begin to base your reasoning on it. I found
myself thinking about these prophecies and speculating on what the situation would be like in America, if or rather when
they came to pass.
The Lord show me in quick succession one week that these visions were of him. He showed me our vulnerability to
invasion. And our vulnerability to sneak attack.
I am employed as a two way radio technician in the rural area just up river from New Orleans. I have a wide variety of
dealings with business, industrial and governmental clients.
One of our regular customers is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in St. James Parish. This agency is under the US
Department of Energy. Their mission is to purchase and store vast quantities of crude oil as a strategic reserve, in case
we were once again cut off from foreign imports.
One day while I was there I got to see a map of the locations of the underground storage depots for the crude oil . All but
two are right on the Gulf Coast. The other 2 slightly inland in Louisiana.
Being something of a military buff, (I once had a lifetime subscription to Strategy & Tactics Magazine) it struck me that
the crude oil reserves we supposedly depend upon are extremely vulnerable to capture by invading forces, being so close
to the seacoast. That same day I got hold of a petroleum resource catalog. This showed books and maps available of our
oil and natural gas pipeline and distribution network. Most of it comes up through Texas and Louisiana, to be distributed
to the northern cities. Again strategically vulnerable to capture.
Invading forces that were after our agricultural lands could have extra effect by invading the south. They would want to
capture the port of New Orleans. This gives them access to ship docking and stevedoring facilities. Plus all the major
grain elevators we use to export our products to feed the world. They would want to move up the Mississippi River to the
heart of America's farmlands. And in doing so, they could also cut off all the oil & gas pipelines. This would deprive the
remaining northern cities of a major source of energy.
This seemed to reinforce the implications of Brother Anonymous's vision of the horse and buggies, and very few cars.
And The strange looking wagons. All of that would result from a severe shortage of oil.
The very next day, my work took me to a local civil defense headquarters. My assignment there was just to assist
technicians on the other end of a circuit. So I had a bit of time to kill waiting for them to do something on their end. The
room I was working in had many dozens of books and manuals on the shelves. A certain curiosity got hold of me, a Spirit
led curiosity as it turned out. The first manual I looked into was a collection of materials from an emergency
preparedness course.
I read a fascinating account of lessons learned from WWII. How the British coped with having to evacuate London during
the Blitz. It dealt with how they moved families into the villages and country side and doubled them up with other families,
two to a home. How would you like a second family to move in with you for several years?
THE SOVIETS
Other articles went into Russian experience in WWII. Theories of Civil Defense and Strategic Bombing. A comparison of
Soviet and US Civil Defense Programs. An evaluation of the nuclear strategy of each country, an excellent strategic
survey of the history and development of Soviet nuclear strategy since WWII. Its title was 'Why the Soviet Union thinks it
could fight and win a nuclear war' by Richard Pipes of Harvard University. (See Appendix)
I could easily see several conclusions from this material. (Some of which I was allowed to take copies of.)
1. Practically speaking we have no civil defense program.
2. Soviet nuclear strategy is militarily practical and realistic. It's called counter-force strategy; and its based upon
destroying your enemy's ability to fight or to strike back.
3. American nuclear Strategy ( mutual deterrence) is based on wishful thinking, and political expediency. A fantasy that
Russia would never attack.
4. If we were to be attacked, while weak and unprepared, the results would be exactly as predicted in the prophecies.
HORSE AND BUGGY

I have no doubt the Lord led me to find this information for the exact purpose of confirming the prophecies. Especially
after what I happened to see the very next day!
Now I had been especially struck with the significance of one detail of Brother Anonymous's prophecy - the strangely
built wagons. That following day I got a chance to see one!
On the way to another job, on a sunny Friday afternoon, I saw a horse drawn wagon. It was sitting atop the Mississippi
River levee in Destrehan Louisiana, near the Hale Boggs bridge. It was also sitting on four automobile tires, instead of
wagon wheels! What could be more obvious! If you had to build a horse drawn wagon, make the body of wood. It's light.
But don't make wooden wheels when car wheels are abundant! I was so excited by the discovery and amused by the
way it was built that I radioed my office to report the presence of this great curiosity. (I never saw it again, nor discovered
anything more about it.)
The combination of these three experiences, all one after another, impressed me tremendously. It was another way the
Lord had of giving confirmation.
ANOTHER WARNING OF JUDGMENT

Another confirmation came in 1991, through a prophetess, Peggy Richards. It came out during the Gulf War and was
quoted by Pastor Rod Aguillard in one of his messages. What follows next is a quote of that prophecy and some
discussion of the relevant issues.
The following dialogue is taken from 'Seven Prophetic Events' a tape by Bro. Rod Aguillard 1-23-91, available from
Reserve Christian Fellowship, POB AA, Reserve LA, 70084.
Questioner in audience: "Do you think David Wilkerson's Prophecy that America is doomed is inevitable or where do we
stand on this?"
Pastor Aguillard: "I think that if we continue to intercede and if we stay true to Israel that God's hand of Judgment can be
stayed. But then when the United States of Europe comes into power, we are going under...."
Second questioner in audience: "Don't you think David Wilkerson's prophecy is more of a Nineveh type prophecy? That
we can stay God's hand of judgment through our repentance, just like Nineveh did with Jonah."
Pastor Aguillard: "Yea, I believe we can....
"Sister Peggy (Richards) prophesied in a meeting Mary and I was at. She just came up and started prophesying.
"I see a nation," thus saith the lord, "there's a nation that hates you more than the nation you're fighting. [IRAQ] That is
waiting for you to get weakened. And then they will invade your waters and invade your land and your cities will be on
fire."
"And she spoke that through prophecy.
"Now that can happen! You know that's a Nineveh prophecy. And that agrees with Wilkerson's that our nation would be
sieged with bombs and partly destroyed. The guy from Romania that came in, he has a tape out, God showed him a
vision of our cities on fire.
"I don't know if were going to suffer that, but I think a lot of that can be stayed. That's Judgment unto desolation. It can be
stayed. If we do what God's asked. He said 'If I can find me intercessors, I desire not to destroy the land.'
"We're targets for destruction because of the shedding of innocent blood, and the idolatry and adultery in our land.
"But that Judgment can be stayed, number one because of Israel, but not just Israel, I think its going to take intercessors
working. It'll take both. If those two things don't happen, I believe we are going to be judged to desolation. I hope we are
going to obey God. If we don't, we'll die with the wicked in Judgment."
REVIVAL IN NINEVEH
Now what exactly is a Nineveh Prophecy? It refers to the preaching of Jonah to Nineveh in the book of Jonah.
Jonah 3
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh
shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of
them even to the least of them.
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had
said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
The principle here is that God gave the prophet a word for Nineveh, but because they repented the word did not come to
pass. A "Nineveh Prophecy" is a Word warning of Judgment; Judgment that can be stayed by repentance.
Now in order for these prophecies we have been discussing to be "Nineveh Prophecies", we must hope for a revival and
national repentance like they had in Nineveh. They all repented 'from the greatest of them even to the least of them.'
The hope of a Nineveh Prophecy is the hope for a Nineveh Revival. It is also a hope for a delay in judgment. We know that
eventually God judged Nineveh. Much of the thinking that we can stay or delay God's judgment includes the thought that
it must eventually come no matter what. And that the judgment, the final wrath will be utter desolation. The Nineveh
revival is typical of many revivals throughout history, where the moral climate of nations was changed, almost overnight. I
do not believe this is the type of revival we will have. And therefore I do not believe these are "Nineveh Prophecies".
ECONOMY, RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT

On Friday, Jan 24 1992, I had a discussion with a couple of the men in my home group. We got into the fall of
Communism and the coming fall of Islam. I shared how I was shown that these things had to come in order to prepare for
the end time rule of AntiChrist.
Prophecy shows us that in the end time, very soon, there will be a one world economy; a one world religion; and a one
world government. We agreed that for there to be a one world economy, Communism had to fall. I then stipulated that for
there to be a one world religion, Islam must fall. Islam is a strict monotheistic faith. As such it would be in the way of a
movement that leads to worship of a man. Which is the coming one world religion. (All the world will worship the beast.)
Next I related how I had shared this same idea with Bro. Tony Foster, who is now starting a church in Russia. The fall of
communism opens the opportunity for harvest in communist lands that we see today. The coming fall of Islam will
likewise open opportunities for harvest in Islamic lands.
Then I mentioned how the Lord had challenged me after the conversation with Bro. Tony. He said, "There's a third part to
this, that you're not willing to face up to!" The third part is: What must happen for there to be a one world govt. The
answer is that America must fall! They easily agreed with me, anticipating at worst an economic collapse of the U.S.
HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN

It seemed to me, ironic, I pointed out that just lately we saw America at the peak of her power and influence. In the Gulf
War, the United States exerted her military might on the other side of the globe. We saw decisive use of overwhelming
force produce an astonishing rapid victory. From that point on to today and to the foreseen future we are headed straight
down. How far down is the question; how great will the judgments against us be?
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished! (2 Samuel 1:27)
The next day the Lord reminded me of the above verse from 2nd Samuel. He had given me that same scripture in the first
days the gulf war. At that point we were still quite fearful of high casualties or possible adverse outcomes of the war. And
I understood the reference to be to America. But as the war progressed, it seemed that the verse must have applied to
Iraq. Yet Iraq did not then seem so mighty. And her weapons of war seemed paltry.
But now I see that this was referring to America. One purpose of the war was to show the might of America and to mark
the peak of her power. This was our high point and marked the magnitude of our fall.
BENHADAD, KING OF SYRIA

While preparing to revise this article, my morning devotion took me to 1 Kings 20 one day.
1. And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and [there were] thirty and two kings with
him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
I worked my way into the chapter finding mostly familiar material. I had not planned on reading in that part of the bible
anyway so I was ready to skip over to proverbs, when I came to verse 13.
13 And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou
seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I [am]
the LORD.
At this point the Lord showed me that here was an example of God giving a victory to a wicked nation. Israel under king
Ahab was backslidden, wicked and far from God's favor. Yet he gave the victory so "Thou shalt know that I am the
LORD!"
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great
slaughter.
This example is written for us, I realized. Our 'miracle victory' in the Gulf War can in no way be seen as a sign of God's
favor or approval. (It can certainly be seen as a sign that God had a hand in it.)
Later that day I meditated on the comparison to the Gulf War. The US as Israel, and Iraq as Syria was the analogy
clearly established in my mind. As I considered how to incorporate this into my article, I got a second revelation that
shook me to the core. I remembered what happened in the rest of the Chapter! And the word of Judgment pronounced
against Israel and King Ahab in the end!
28 And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD,
Because the Syrians have said, The LORD [is] God of the hills, but he [is] not God of the valleys, therefore
will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Here the Lord gave Israel a victory not because they called on him but because of the Syrians actions. The Syrians made
the war a contest between their gods and the God if Israel! Now recall that Saddam Hussein made a great public show,
on world wide television, of prayer to Allah! That he called for Jihad, or Holy War, and counted on Allah for victory!
President Bush had Billy Graham come into the White House to pray. And he issued a proclamation of prayer after the
manner of Abraham Lincoln.
Once again the war was a contest between the God of Israel and false religion. And once again God gave the victory to a
wicked, backslidden nation: America.
29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the
battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
But Benhadad of Syria escaped from the battle and pled for mercy.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and
said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live....
34 ... Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent
him away.
(Our leadership in the Gulf War allowed the Iraqi army to slip from the trap and still permits Hussein to remain in power.)
But the Lord was angry and sent the prophet again.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his
face.
42 And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of [thy] hand a man whom I
appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
And this is another word of judgment for us as well.
AMERICA REDUCED
America's fall from being a world power in implied in yet another prophecy from many years back.
(This is taken from an article called "As I See It" by Lance Lambert which appeared in Christ for the Nations Vol 43 nr 2,
May 1990.
...There was a prophecy given in 1911 that shortly an evil would take Russia, and wherever this evil would go,
rivers of blood would flow. It was not the Russian soul; it was not an ideology or a philosophy, but a spirit
from hell. In the last days, the prophecy went on to say, Germany would be divided; Italy would be judged by
natural disasters; France would be nothing much; Britain would lose her empire and come almost to ruin, but
would be saved by praying women; the U. S. would feed the world and be the greatest power, but would
finally be reduced. In the end Russia would be free and believers would go forth from Russia and China taking
the Good News to all the earth before the antichrist.
But there is good news here too. While America is declining as a world power there is a move of reformation, restoration
and revival coming to pass. One turning point was the summer of 1988 when Operation Rescue began to act as the
Church is supposed to and became doers of the word and not hearers only.
WITCHITA KANSAS - AUGUST 1991

The summer of 91 marked another turning point in our restoration as a Godly covenant nation.
In the summer of 1991, I participated in the Operation Rescue's Summer of Mercy in Witchita Kansas. I was privileged to
accompany my pastor, Rod Aguillard and a group of other pastors and lay ministers. This was the third time our local
church had sent a party to participate in the rescues taking place there.
During the time prior to the trip, I was deeply impressed in my spirit that this was going to be a critical time. A critical
moment for America and that our obedience was critical to God's purposes.
We were given a prophecy the day we left that we were going into an intense spiritual battle. To pray and war. And that
"the Enemy was about to overstep his limits!"
To make a long story short, we (radical fence jumpers) spent 3 days in jail. We were facing serious Federal charges and
a severely high bail bond requirement.
But we saw God move mightily. I witnessed an awesome move of the Spirit in the cell block on the second night. The
lord spoke through one of the men there. "I am beginning to turn this thing around. I am raising up a Joshua people, a
people who will take a stand for me." The very next day, legal barriers fell one after another, securing the release of all
those in our party, in an astonishing way. Everyone got back home before the weekend was out. (Including Gorbachov,
for that was the week of the failed Soviet coup. It proved to be a critical time for the whole world.)
My understanding of the Word given in the jail cell was two fold. Not only did God "turn this thing around" and get us out
of jail quickly. God was turning around the abortion situation. Shortly thereafter Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the
Supreme Court. And He was turning around the Church and beginning to give Revival.
KING JOSIAH AND REVIVAL

Then He showed me that it was to be a Josiah revival....I regularly listen to the bible on tape; sometimes the Lord will
illuminate some passage and give its application. He gave me this scripture speaking of King Josiah. And quickened it as
applying to America!
2 Kings 23
25. And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all
his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there [any] like him.
26 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was
kindled against Judah, because of all the provocation's that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off
this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
The Josiah revival as described in Kings is the pattern that will come to pass in America. There is a great revival, a
cleansing and repentance, yet the Lord still said he would bring judgment upon Judah for the sins of Manasseh, for the
innocent blood he shed.
Here is a pattern of revival followed by judgment. Consider there remarks by Mary Stewart Relfe of the League of Prayer,
commenting on the Word from Dimitri Duduman.
"Revival, for which League of Prayer is praying, is always accompanied by or followed by Judgment.
Judgment is not a pleasant subject. The prophet Isaiah calls judgment Gods "strange work" (Isaiah 28:21).
For example, after the great revival of 1858, when millions of people were won to the Lord in this nation, The
Civil War soon broke out and took the lives of multitudes, many of whom God had saved.
After the great Wales awakening, that swept the world in 1904 through 1912, World War I broke out and
millions of people who were saved in that great revival, their lives were taken in the war. It seems that God
always extends his great hand of mercy, before he sends judgment. (The same pattern is seen in the
Cambodian Revival of the early 1970's.)
While America goes happily along, I can assure that the Holy Spirit has born witness in my heart that the
Church is on the Cutting Edge of a great outpouring of God's Spirit in America."
REVIVAL AND JUDGMENT

There is a Great revival coming to America, but for the Sin of Abortion, the shedding of innocent blood, the price must be
paid.
Jeremiah 15
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of
Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem
2 Kings 21
16 Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another;
beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD.
The coming of revival is a turning point. If there were no remnant in the church crying out for revival; if no revival were
coming, we would have no hope.
This Passage from Ezekiel shows a pattern of judgment upon a wicked people where a remnant of them remain
afterwards.
Ezekiel 6
1. And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
3 And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the
mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon you,
and I will destroy your high places.
6 In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your
altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images
may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
8. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some] that shall escape the sword ....
In the book of Daniel, the Prophet Daniel is called on to interpret a vision in chapter 4. The interpretation amounted to a
word of judgment on King Nebuchadnezzar. The nature of the judgment was a chastisement. Nevertheless Daniel
expressed hope that it would not come to pass and immediately advised the King to repent at once. The King knew of
God and his power but was basically ignorant of his ways.
Daniel 4
19. Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him.
The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee.
Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that hate thee, and the interpretation
thereof to thine enemies.
20 The tree that thou sawest,
22 It [is] thou, O king, ....
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee,
after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness,
and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
BELSHAZZAR'S FINAL END

This is a sharp contrast with the judgment pronounced in the next chapter on King Belshazzar. Belshazzar, who knew of
all the things that the Lord had done to Nebuchadnezzar, still paid no attention to them. His behavior was one of mockery
and a personal offense to the Lord. His use of the vessels of the temple brought down the finger of God to produce the
handwriting on the wall. He was weighed in the balance and found wanting. (The abuse of the temple vessels speaks of
persecution of God's people, the church, when applied to our times.) Before Belshazzar, Daniel showed only respect. He
offered no prayer or counsel. He knew the judgment was no chastisement. It was an outpouring of wrath unto desolation.
Belshazzar and his kingdom were through.
Daniel 5
18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and
honor:
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne,
and they took his glory from him:
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, ... till he knew that the
most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that] he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house
before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast
praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and
the God in whose hand thy breath [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:....
30. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Both of these elements must be a part of our understanding on God's word of judgment on America. Insofar as America
is 'Babylon', she will be desolated. Insofar as America is the church, she is to be chastised.
The Lord gave me Isaiah 65 as applying here balancing the two types of judgment mentioned in Daniel. The whole
chapter is relevant, but especially verses 8 through 14; verse 19; and the end of the chapter depicts the situation going
on into the millennium.
8. Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a
blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
11. But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, ....
12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, ....
13 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my
servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed
14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for
vexation of spirit.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in
her, nor the voice of crying.
This is a clear scriptural picture of revival in the midst of judgment. Note the words in verse 8. NEW WINE! When the
Holy Ghost comes, they will say :These men are filled with new wine! Revival is coming.... And judgment is coming.
AMERICA IS SAVED
And after the judgment: further restoration and rebuilding. The Brother Anonymous prophecy and the Washington vision
both offer hope in the end. So the turning point that brings revival means that America Is Saved!
To illustrate this point the Lord took me in memory to a book I had read many years ago. 'War and Peace'.
In Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' there is a memorable scene, late in the book which shows the military insight of the
Russian commander, General Kutuzov.
Napoleon had invaded Russia in 1812, defeating the Russians at every turn. He advanced deep into Mother Russia, and
took Moscow. But then he retreated seeking better winter quarters. History sees this as the turning point in the war but it
was not. On the way out of Moscow, his army came to a fork in the road. One way led west, the way they had come.
The other road went off to the southwest. It was at this point that some surviving elements of the Russian army made a
stand and skirmished with the French by blocking the southwest fork.
Rather than stopping to regroup for battle, Napoleon took the other road.
Upon hearing the report of this action, General Kutuzov did something that astonished the staff officers in his
headquarters. He fell to his knees weeping, and cried out, giving thanks to God, "Russia is Saved! Russia is Saved!"
You see, he alone of all the men there realized that THIS was the turning point of the war. By taking the westerly road,
Napoleon would be forced to pass through regions he had already come through once already during his advance on
Moscow. These regions would now be depleted of the supplies his army would need to survive. (Napoleon would end up
leaving Russia with slightly less than 10% of the army he had when he began the retreat.) Kutuzov alone had the insight
into the situation, and praised God for Russia's deliverance. This he did while those around him had no understanding of
the situation.
The same thing can be said for us. The Lord gave me this parallel to show that America is Saved!
So America is Saved in that it is not to be judged unto desolation and utterly destroyed at the Second Coming of Jesus.
It will be judged, purged, purified and restored as a Godly covenant nation ready for the return of the master.
Perhaps, This also means that AntiChrist will not rule America!
ARISE, SHINE
At the time of the outpouring and the great harvest, we will not see a total transformation of the moral climate of the
nation. This was the case in several past revivals. But this is a case of Isaiah 60:1-2.
Isaiah 60 1. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold,
the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and
his glory shall be seen upon thee.
God will give revival in some areas but Satan will control others. This is seen in the parable of the tares and wheat. The
tares are allowed to ripen along with the wheat, just before the harvest. There will be great contrasts between light and
darkness; between the church and the world.
The areas of revival will be places of great light and anointing; refuge and refreshment for God's people.
The righteous grow more righteous and the wicked grow more wicked. The iniquities of America will come to the full as
the sins of the Amorites did. When this comes about, the church will be in her glory leading multitudes to salvation. But
the wicked will be in power and the country in chaos. Our nation will turn against Israel and this will be the final straw
bringing down God's judgment.
But the Lord's people will come out from Babylon and many will survive the bombing in miraculous ways.
This also means that from the time of the bombing onward, antichrist forces will no longer rule. And that when America
fully repents and humbles herself as a nation, several important changes will take place. The tide of battle will turn
against the invaders. (Duduman's prophecy indicates that our enemies will begin to fight amongst themselves. So the
lord will put confusion in their ranks!) Secondly, Theocracy will be established and we will once again be a covenant
people in right standing with God. Thirdly we will not be ruled over by antichrist, nor among the nations that march
against Israel. Fourth we are not appointed unto the final outpouring of God's wrath upon the nations at the end.
HOW MUCH OF THIS IN INEVITABLE?

First some is inevitable because God's plan requires that "America will be reduced" to the point where she is not able to
assist Israel in any way. And to the point where she cannot hinder antichrist in forming a one world government. America
must fall.
Secondly some is inevitable because of the "sins of Manasseh" and because He will not leave us "wholly unpunished".
Thirdly some is inevitable because God wants to bring America to her knees in full repentance. She must be brought low
enough for him to be able to establish Theocracy. Why? because we are a covenant people, analogous to Israel. (Many
of the prophetic scriptures that mention Israel or Zion can be applied to us.) In a sense, the church of America is
America.
I heard a comment that America is a land built by immigration. True. We are a people gathered out from other nations.
Like the Church is a people called out from the nations. This reinforces the idea that the Church of America is America ;
and America is a type of the Church.
To Quote Gordon Lindsey;
"America became a nation in a manner different from almost any other people with the exception of ISRAEL.
Some indeed came to the New World in search of gold and silver and other treasure. Adventurers committed
the most brutal crimes in their mad lust for wealth. Kingdoms were plundered by the conquistadors without
the slightest compunction of conscience. But our forefathers (who were from many nation) came to America
for another purpose. They came to find a sanctuary where they could worship God in the freedom of their
conscience."
A COVENANT PEOPLE
So our covenant doesn't just go back to 1776, neither does our history. The covenant is that made by God with the
original colonists who came to this land seeking freedom to worship Him. And, perhaps for their sakes, he would have us
to be in right standing with Him when he returns. That he may be able to spare us the final wrath and desolation prepared
for the world. Praise God!
What is inevitable is, I believe, a. economic and social chaos, b. bombing of our cities and c. invasion of the land. What
is variable is the extent of the damage and the length of the war. This is where God's hand of judgment can be stayed.
Once she repents, America needs only to be reduced to the point of being unable to help Israel.
What is not coming to pass amongst all that we have been taught by traditional eschatology is: a. rule by antichrist in
America, and b. final desolation in the Day of the Lord.
But just as all the world will come against Israel in the last battle; all the world will first come against America. She is
God's other covenant people. And when America finally repents her people will be willing to lay down their lives.
Concurrently when the Church finally repents and God's people are willing to lay down their lives, God's purpose will go
forward. The enemy will be overcome in the natural and the Adversary will be overcome in the spiritual.
AFTERWORD
The following paragraph is taken from an article in The Morning Star Prophetic Journal Vol 1 Nr 1. p. 45
1991 and Beyond by Rick Joyner
"The U.S. and her allies will win the impending Middle-East conflict but no one has yet comprehended the magnitude of
the cost in both lives and future world influence. The eagle (U.S.) will have her "right wing" broken (conservative politics)
and begin a downward spiral....
I read this prophecy when it came out in early 1991. It came home to roost in the late fall of 1992, after I had completely
forgotten it. Tony Foster wrote to me from Russia, after the 1992 election was over and said the election results were that
prophecy coming to pass! Of course he was right.
Our pastor, Rod Aguillard, points out that in 1988 the church received a call to rise up and put a stop to abortion through
operation rescue. She did not, as a whole, answer that call. Therefor God has now turned us over to an oppressor, just
like He did to Israel so many times in the book of Judges and elsewhere. (Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem...) When the
oppression gets bad enough, we will call upon his name.
Rev. Harold Cohen, a charismatic catholic priest in New Orleans, pointed this out, just after the election. The majority of
Americans voted against the pro-life candidate (Bush). So in effect the U.S. has chosen death instead of life, and cursing
instead of blessing. Not discouraged he added "We don't know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future!"
Now we see in the Clinton Administration foolish policies that will deliberately cripple our economy and devastate our
military strength. Policies that will place us exactly in position for the coming prophesied catastrophes. We have chosen
death, as a nation, and the curses are now piling up ever faster. And at the same time God is pouring out the new wine
to the faithful remnant among his people. "He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh."
APPENDIX
APPENDIX A : Brother Anonymous
This is transcribed from a taped TV interview of Brother Anonymous
There is a price to pay for the murder of abortion. Jericho paid that price....
Crisis draws us together. Every time there's a crisis, people come. It's been that way from the very beginning. God told
the children of Israel "When I do these things, then you'll seek me early. When I do these things, then you'll call upon my
name. When I do these things to you, then you'll know that I am God. "It's been that way always. It's still that way today.
And God still moves that way to get us to bow our knee.
Crisis is coming to America. To get us to repent, to bow our knees. To get us to give Jesus Christ Lordship over our lives.
Not just to know Him but to know all of Him. Not just to have heard of him but to know all about him. To be intimate.
We're gonna end up bowing our knee before God Almighty. And God will save us.
"In the war that's coming we will not be defeated, but we will be hurt. We will be neutralized. We're not going to come out
of it unscathed. China and Russia are both going to invade our territory. There's going to be tremendous nuclear, or
limited nuclear warfare. But tremendous bombing and a new type of weaponry that is going to hit the east and the west
coasts of the United States. And those cities. The purpose in that is to desolate the populous areas. So then when
invasion troops and invasion forces come in there'll be fewer people that they have to deal with.
And they are not really after our cities; they are gonna be after our farms. They're gonna be after our agricultural land.
That's what they're coming after. That's why they are gonna wipe out the populous areas, or try to, and then invade the
middle of America.
I've seen missiles coming from submarines, to do it. And for some reason, the Lord told me, the missiles that Russia has
are not accurate, and so they won't depend on those greatly. But they'll depend on submarine warfare. The missiles will
come from submarines. But they don't have a long range and so they'll mainly attack the coastal areas.
But the great thing is that we'll win. It'll look like were going to be defeated. It'll bring us to our knees. But were gonna
win. At the same time, not only will we be neutralized but Russia will be neutralized. Russia will have - nothing - after it's
all said and done. And we'll have nothing after it's all said and done. Basically, we'll have life. There'll be some life left.
But when Russia's neutralized and America's neutralized, then you'll see the Anti-Christ arise in power. That's when he'll
arise. And he'll say 'Ah, now' to himself or to those around him, 'since I don't have anything to worry about in America, I'll
leave it alone. The United States, I don't have to worry about it; it's no longer a power. I don't have anything to worry about
with Russia, it's no longer a power. So I'm gonna concentrate all my forces upon this European segment.
But there is a force, Israel, I've got to deal with. Because it's a thorn in my side. And God says 'I'll put a hook in your jaw
and I'll draw you out. He's gonna put a hook in the jaw and He's gonna draw him out. And they're gonna come against
Israel. But they won't have the United States to worry about. They won't have Russia to contend with. It'll be the anti-
Christ forces that are gonna bring this invasion of Israel.
But were gonna be neutralized and we won't be able to intervene. Only God can intervene. And in a way, that's what God
wants. Is that when Israel can't say 'Help!' to anybody but God. Only God will they be able to say help to. And when they
say, 'Daddy, help me!' he'll help them. And he'll intervene, Miraculously!
But that's the time period that were coming to. And so not a lot of people have thought that China would be involved in the
invasion. But China is gonna be involved in the invasion. A lot of people said well that's impossible because Russia and
China hate each other. Well they're gonna unite for a common cause. And when you unite for a common cause, each
one of them will probably be thinking, 'Well when it's over with, I'll take care of the other guy.' And so were gonna be
invaded.
China will still have enough people, after it's said and done. China will still have enough people to send millions and
millions. A hundred million marching toward Israel. They won't be technological giants. But they'll be giants in physical
numbers, numbers of men. Numbers in the army that they'll still be able to amass. But they'll join, they're gonna join
Russia in this coming invasion.
God will supernaturally intervene. But the time frame it's gonna leave us with is that you'll see a lot more horse and
buggy's on the roads than you'll see cars. I've seen a time when there's very, very few automobiles on the road, and a lot
of horses. A lot of buggies; a lot of wagons. Some of them are really strange wagons. It's like they didn't know how to
build them. They just constructed anything that would haul something. It's like people who didn't know how to do, how to
build but did the best they could. And so you saw a lot of strange things on the road.
When I have visions, like this, the Lord gives me visions or dreams, it's as if I went through this time period. So I can
remember seeing certain things. Just like I can close my eyes and I can see 'em just like I can see you. It's like I lived
through it. I lived through the horse and buggies. I lived through a time when there was no radio. I lived through a time
when there was no TV. I lived through a time when the people didn't know if there was any government.
So for a period of time, there was government by God through the people. And God literally formed theocracy. Not a
democracy, not a monarchy, not a king. But a theocracy. For He told people what to do. Men were led by the Spirit of
God. They made decisions based upon what the Holy Spirit of God said to do. And they lived.
And if they needed water, they walked out. The Holy Spirit says "here!" They drilled; Here; and there was water. They
didn't have to drill ten times. They drilled one time. There was the water.
So it's gonna be an interesting time period that were entering into. A lot of people are anti that. I can't help it. This is
actually what's going to take place in the United States of America.
But I tell you the Power of God! The power of God that's coming in this next move. That will move here is going to be
quite dramatic....
The Lord wants this word to come out. He wants the church to hear. The Lord God is with them in all these things that
are coming in the earth; coming stock market crash; coming famine; coming gangs that are going to start roaming when
welfare is greatly cut back. Eventually there will be no welfare.
APPENDIX B : George Washington's Vision
This is Chapter 6 of "Will our president Die in office? by Gordon Lindsey. Christ for the Nations, Inc. PO Box 24910,
Dallas TX 75224.
THE FAMOUS VISION OF GEORGE WASHINGTON
In connection with the message of this book, we felt it would be appropriate to include the famous vision of George
Washington.
One of the incidents of his life that has come down to us concerns one Isaac Potts, secretly a Tory, who provided
George Washington a headquarters during the time he was at Valley Forge. There was not much room for privacy there,
and Mr. Potts frequently observed Washington visit a secluded grove nearby. One day while strolling up the creek he
heard a solemn voice. He walked quietly in the direction of it, and saw Washington's horse tied to a sapling. In a thicket
nearby was the beloved chief upon his knees in prayer, his cheeks suffused with tears.
Mr. Potts returned and to his family said, "The Tory cause is lost." He gave his reasons for this change of opinion.
"I have this day seen what I never expected. You know I always thought the sword and the gospel were utterly
inconsistent; and no man could be a soldier and a Christian at the same time. But George Washington has this day
convinced me of my mistake.
"If George Washington be not a man of God I am greatly deceived - and still more shall I be deceived if God does not,
through him, work out a great salvation for America.
"If there is anyone on this earth to whom the Lord will listen, it is George Washington; and I feel a presentiment that
under such a commander there can be no doubt of our eventually establishing our independence and God in His
providence has willed it so."
Perhaps the most startling spiritual experience of George Washington was a vision he received (which has been given
wide publicity and is generally knows as "The Vision of George Washington"). The authenticity of this vision is evident in
that the facts of it were circulated before the Civil War. Yet the vision speaks with detail of that great war between the
states!
The most solemn part of the vision, however, is that which relates to a great catastrophic war that is yet to come, and
which presages a fearful devastation of our country. The details of the vision were communicated to a Professor Totten by
an Anthony Sherman, who was with George Washington at Valley Forge. Professor Totten published it in tract form in
"Our Race Leaflet" in September, 1898. May the reader note that in the vision only those wars which involved America by
invasion are considered. Thus the War of 1812 and the Civil War are spoken of since blood flowed on our soil in both of
these wars. This was not true in the War of 1898, nor of World War II. The ominous "red light" apparently speaks of
communism (which originated in this century), which has already reached Cuba, an island within 90 miles of our shores.
Whether soldiers will actually land on our coasts may or may not be indicated by the vision, for weapons now devised
can destroy at a distance.
The Vision Professor Totten relates George Washington's vision as follows:
The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the fourth of July, 1859, in Independence Square. He was then ninety
years old and becoming very feeble. But though so old his eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall, which he
came to visit once more before he was gathered home.
"Let us to into the hall," he said. "I want to tell you on an incident of Washington's life - one which no one alive knows of
except myself; and if you live, you will before long see it verified.
"From the opening of the Revolution we experienced all phases of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious and
another conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington after several reverses, retreated to Valley
Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear
commander's careworn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor
soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington's going to the thicket to pray. Well it was not only true, but
he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort. And God brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation.
"One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees. Though the sky was cloudless and the
sun shone brightly, he remained in his quarters nearly all of the afternoon, alone. When he came out I noticed that his
face was a shade paler than usual, and there seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance.
Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters of an officer, who was presently in attendance. After a
preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity
which he alone could command said to the latter."
"I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at this table
engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing
opposite me a singularly beautiful being. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed, that it was
some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I
repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of the eyes.
"By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before
me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak, but my tongue had become useless, as if paralyzed. A
new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my
unknown visitor.
"Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew luminous. Everything about me seemed
to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I began to feel as
one dying or rather to experience the sensations which I have sometimes imagined accompany death. I did not think, I
did not reason, I did not move. All were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my
companion.
"Presently I heard a voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extended an
arm eastward. I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated and I
looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay, spread out in one vast plain, all the countries of the world - Europe, Asia,
Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia
and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic,' said the same mysterious voice as before, 'look and learn,'"
At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy 'being' like an angel, standing, or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and
America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand,
while with his left he cast some over Europe. Immediately a cloud arose from these countries, and joined in mid-ocean.
For a while it remained stationary, and then it moved slowly westward until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp
flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
(This may be interpreted to have been the Revolutionary War then in progress.)
"A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn
back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows it sank from view.
"A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn.' I cast my eyes upon America
and beheld villages and towns and cities springing up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the
Pacific was dotted with them. Again, I heard the mysterious voice say. 'Son of the Republic, the end of the century
cometh, look and learn.'
And this time the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward. From Africa I saw an ill-omened specter approach our
land. It flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle
array against each other. As I continued looking I saw a bright angel on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which
was traced the word 'UNION.' He was bearing the American flag. He placed the flag between the divided nation and said
'Remember, ye are brethren.'
Instantly the inhabitants, casting down their weapons, became friends once more and united around the National
Standard.
"Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed
a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe,
Asia, and Africa.
Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into
one. And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving
with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And
I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and burn the villages, towns and cities which I had seen
springing up.
As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal
combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' When the voice had ceased, the
dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth and blew a long and fearful blast.
Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud
which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shone the word 'UNION,' and who bore
our national flag in one hand and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by legions of white spirits.
These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately
taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle.
"Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict, I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.'
As the voice ceased, the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America.
Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious.
"Then once more I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright
angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with a loud voice: 'While the stars remain,
and the heavens send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the Union last.' And taking from his brow the crown on
which blazoned the word 'UNION' he placed upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down said, 'Amen'!
"The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld.
This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had
heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted; Three great perils will come upon the
Republic. The Most fearful for is the third. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the
Republic learn to live for his God, his land and Union.' With these words the vision vanished, and i started from my seat
and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and destiny of the United States."
"Such, my friends," the venerable narrator concluded, "were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and America
will do well to profit by them."
APPENDIX C : Dimitri Duduman
An interview with Dimitri Duduman
This material is taken from a tape titled America Will Burn! which is distributed by the League of Prayer PO Box 4038,
Montgomery AL 36103. It consists of a conversation between an interviewer, Duduman and an interpreter. The nature of
the revelations is somewhat awkward because the interpreter is doing a running translation of Duduman speaking in his
native tongue. The voice we are quoting is the interpreter.
In the beginning of the interview, Duduman tells something of his experiences under communist persecution in Romania,
and his supernatural deliverance with the assistance of the Angel Gabriel.
At a time of deep discouragement, after coming to America, he once again encounters the Angel Gabriel who has a
message for him to give to the Church.
"He said "America will burn." I said "How will America burn?" I said why did you bring me here, why didn't you let me die
in jail in Romania." He said, "I told you to have patience." and he said get on this here next me. I got on something. It
wasn't a vision. It wasn't a dream. I was awake like I'm awake now. And he showed him all over California. He showed
him Las Vegas. And he said, 'Do you see what I've shown you here?" He said this is Sodom and Gomorra and all of this,
in one day it will burn." "He went and he showed him New York and he said "This is New York. And he said this is
Sodom and Gomorra. In one day it will burn." He went and showed him Florida. And he said, "This is Florida." And he
said, "Everything that I've shown you, in one day it will burn." "I said, 'How will it burn in one day?'" Because the Russian
spies have found out the most powerful nuclear warehouses in America. And when the Americans will think it's peace
and safety, the communists from America will start a Revolution against the government, and the government will be
busy with them. And then, he said, from the ocean, from Cuba, from Nicaragua, from Mexico, and he told him two other
countries but he don't remember these. And they will bomb the nuclear warehouses. And America will burn.
I said "What will you do with the church?" He said "The church has forsaken him." I said "How come you don't have
people right here in America?" The angel said "Remember what I have told you. You will go on television. You will go on
radio. You will go in churches. No matter where you will be, tell them everything that I told you.
Tell them that I'm not with the church no more. Because the people give praises to themselves. The honor that's
supposed to be given to Christ, the people take it on themselves. In the churches, there is divorces, there's adultery in
the churches, there's homosexuality in the churches, there's abortion in the churches and every kind of sin in the
churches. And they turn some of the churches for businesses for money. And all the evangelists, they only preach
salvation and happiness.
But they don't want to show the destruction. They don't want to show the hard times that will come upon America. And
that's why I've brought you here. Because through your mouth I want to wake up a lot of people. Because I love this
country. And I want to save the church."
I said "How will you save them? If America will burn, how will you be able to save them?" He said "Tell them this, the way
I'm telling you." He said "The way I saved the three young ones from the furnace of fire; How I saved Daniel from the lions
den; I will save them the same way." He said "Tell them to stop sinning. Tell them to turn towards the Lord. Because he
never gets tired of forgiving. And they must look for the Lord with all their hearts.
Because in a short time it will happen. Everything that I just told you. Tell them do not be afraid of trouble. Because I will
be with you."
He said that "I will go before you and I will work powerfully. He said "I will heal a lot of people of their sickness. And I will
open the door so you can go on television and on the radio." And that's what it happened. Because the lord had done a
lot of healing upon American churches. And those people that were healed they went on the television. They were in
California, in Utah, in Indiana, in Missouri, and other states. And the Lord had opened the doors. And I spoke on the
television; I spoke on the radio.
And I'll never keep quiet. As long as I have breath in me. I will sound the trumpet so the American Church will wake up.
Because America took the bible all over this world. Because Americans did go as missionaries all over this world. But
America fell from the truth. And the church from America; they fell from the truth. And Christ want's to save them. But
only if they will stop sinning; and they will turn towards him."
And the Angel said also; he said that "The Lord has blessed this country. Because of the Jewish people that is in this
country." He said that "over here he has 7 million Jewish. Which they never tasted of torture. They never went through
tortures; through hard times; and the Lord has blessed them in this country. But they don't want to recognize the Lord.
They started sinning. And they started all kinds of evil things. And the Lord wants to punish them together with America.
And Israel is not recognizing the Messiah, because they put their faith on the Jewish people from America. And the Lord
will punish America.
And then when America will be punished, all the people will be frightened. The Lord will give power to China and Japan,
and other nations. And they will go against the Russians and they will beat the Russians. He said they will push them all
the way to the gates of Paris. Over there they will make a treaty of peace.
And all the people, they will turn towards Israel. That's when the war of Armageddon will be. He said that Israel will be
frightened. They will not have the help from America no more. And then they will call upon the Messiah. That's when the
Messiah will come. In the help of Israel.
But the church must meet the messiah. We must get ourselves ready so we can meet the Lord. Because Christ will set
on the Mount of Olives together with the church."
And he told him this, "Tell this to all the people. Tell them to read from the bible." I asked him, he said, "If you're the
Angel of the Lord, where does it say in the bible what you just told me?" And he said "Tell them to read this. In Jeremiah
51:8-15. and Revelation, chapter 18. Over there it tells exactly what will happen to America. And how America will burn.
And the battle that Christ will go against, he'll fight against all the nations. How Christ will fight against all the nations."
He said "Tell them to read from Zechariah, chapter 14."
Whenever I put my hand on the Bible, I was learned by the Lord. Because everything, what the Angel of the Lord said; it
was prophesied before. With the meaning about this country. Because all the evangelists and all the American
preachers; they only talk about the salvation of the people. They talk about the happiness of the people. But they don't
want to preach the true word of the Lord. And the American pastors they cannot speak the truth no more. Because if
they speak the truth to the people, the people will leave the church.
But we will have to answer before the Lord of the teaching that we give to other people. And we must preach the true
word the way it's written. And I wish to visit American Churches as much as possible. And I must tell all the people to
turn towards the Lord. So on the day when America will be on fire, so they will be able to be saved. And a lot of times, in
my suffering, when I was being tortured, the angle of the Lord was next to me. May the Lord bless him.
APPENDIX D : MARY STEWART RELFE
Synopsis and Comment re: Dimitru Duduman by Mary Stewart Relfe of the League of Prayer
The Angel Gabriel told Dimitri "America Will Burn" America will be deceived by Russia's "Peace! Peace!" This tape was
made a couple of years before Glasnost.
Russia will locate our nuclear missile silos. And from Cuba and Nicaragua, bombard them. Los Angeles, Las Vegas,
New York City and Florida will burn. Christians, God's blood bought, God will preserve, as He did Shadrac, Meshach and
Abednigo in the fiery furnace. The church in America, he said is corrupt, full of divorce and adultery. Its preachers,
generally are not declaring the whole counsel of God. Though God does have a remnant.
Revival, for which League of Prayer is praying, is always accompanied by or followed by Judgment. Judgment is not a
pleasant subject. The prophet Isaiah calls judgment Gods "strange work" (Isaiah 28:21).
For example, after the great revival of 1858, when millions of people were won to the Lord in this nation, The Civil War
soon broke out and took the lives of multitudes, many of whom God had saved.
After the great Wales awakening, that swept the world in 1904 through 1912, World War I broke out and millions of
people who were saved in that great revival, their lives were taken in the war. It seems that God always extends his great
hand of mercy, before he sends judgment.
While America goes happily along, I can assure that the Holy Spirit has born witness in my heart that the Church is on
the Cutting Edge of a great outpouring of God's Spirit in America. And when God's Spirit is poured out in great power on
a lukewarm church, there are always "Annaias and Sephiras". Charles Finney spoke of it frequently.
APPENDIX E : Richard Pipes
Why the Soviet Union Thinks it Could Fight and Win a Nuclear War
by Richard Pipes Baird Professor of History, Harvard University Reprinted from Commentary, 1977
A Summary of the Argument
American and Soviet nuclear doctrines are diametrically opposed. They are products of totally different historical
experiences and political and socioeconomic systems. The apparent contradictions in Soviet nuclear doctrine and the
dangers of U. S. unilateral adherence to a strategy of mutual deterrence are best understood when put in historical
perspective.
The American view of war has been conditioned by the ideas characteristic of a Western commercial society. Underlying
it is the notion that human conflict results from misunderstandings that can be resolved by negotiation. Marxism, on the
other hand, holds conflict to be normal (and military forces as a political tool and a part of grand strategy. Americans
generally regard war as an abnormal situation and want to end it rapidly through technological superiority and with the
least possible loss of friendly (but not necessarily enemy) lives. Large peacetime forces are an unwelcome expense.
These contrary views of war were affected differently by the coming of nuclear weapons. In the U. S., atomic and
thermonuclear bombs were considered "absolute" weapons, capable of destroying a society or even a civilization, and
against which there was no defense. Thus, Clausewitz's dictum that war is an extension of politics was considered dead.
Since nuclear war could serve no rational political purpose, the function of strategic forces should be to avert war.
Because of the vast destructiveness of nuclear weapons, a "sufficiency" of weapons to retaliate was believed to be
enough. Numerical superiority was thought to have little meaning. To ensure a stable balance, in which conflicts could be
resolved by negotiation, the USSR should even have the ability to do unacceptable second-strike damage to the U. S.
This concept of mutual deterrence, or mutual assured destruction, became U. S. policy and as nuclear delivery
capabilities improved, remained the foundation of a somewhat more flexible policy.
These U. S. strategic theories were developed largely by civilian scientists and "accountants," with little contribution from
military professionals. The theorists were guided significantly by fiscal imperatives -- the desire to reduce the defense
budget while retaining a capacity to deter Soviet threats to U. S. interests. The theories were formulated without
reference to their Soviet counterparts, and in the belief that we can "educate" the Soviets to adopt our views.
In the USSR, where strategy is considered a science and the special province of the military, nuclear weapons were not
held to be "absolute," except perhaps briefly after Stalin's death. The idea of mutual deterrence was never accepted.
Soviet theorists rejected the idea that technology determines strategy. They adapted nuclear weapons to their traditional
Clausewitzian view of war as an extension of politics.
The Communist revolution eliminated that segment of Russian society that was most Westernized, and put the peasant
class in power. History had taught the Russian peasant that cunning and coercion assured survival; cunning when weak;
cunning and coercion when strong. "Not to use force when one had it indicated some inner weakness." That concept of
the use of power and the fact that, since 1914, the USSR has lost up to 60,000,000 citizens through war, famine, and
purges and survived has no doubt conditioned the development of Soviet nuclear strategy.
Soviet nuclear doctrine, expounded in a wide range of Russian defense literature, has five related elements: > Preemption
(first strike).
> Quantitative superiority (a requisite for preemption and because the war may last for some time, even though the initial
hours are decisive).
> Counterforce targeting.
> Combined-arms operations to supplement nuclear strikes.
> Defense, which has been almost totally neglected by the U. S. under its concept of mutual deterrence.
Soviet Doctrine is both a continuation and an extension of the Soviet belief that all military forces -- nuclear and
conventional -- serve a political purpose as guarantor of internal control and an instrument for territorial expansion. Thus,
large military forces are accepted in the Soviet Union as a rational capital investment, regardless of their impact on social
programs.
Soviet writing on nuclear strategy has been largely ignored, or has been ridiculed in this country because if its jingoism
and crudity, and the obscurity of Communist semantics. It is a strategy of "compellance," in contrast to the U. S.
doctrine of deterrence.
But "... the relationship of Soviet doctrine and Soviet deployments (is) sufficiently close to suggest that ignoring or not
taking seriously Soviet military doctrine may have very detrimental effects on U. S. security."
Finally, "... as long as the Soviets persist in adhering to the Clausewitzian maxim on the function of war, mutual
deterrence does not really exist. And unilateral deterrence is feasible only if we understand the Soviet war-winning
strategy and make it impossible for them to succeed."
APPENDIX F : Lance Lambert
This is from Christ for the Nations Vol 43 nr 2, May 1990.
The Article is 'As I see it.' by Lance Lambert
(This is cited as another confirmation of the Dimitri Duduman prophecy.)
...There was a prophecy given in 1911 that shortly an evil would take Russia, and wherever this evil would go, rivers of
blood would flow. It was not the Russian soul; it was not an ideology or a philosophy, but a spirit from hell. In the last
days, the prophecy went on to say, Germany would be divided; Italy would be judged by natural disasters; France would
be nothing much; Britain would lose her empire and come almost to ruin, but would be saved by praying women; the U.
S. would feed the world and be the greatest power, but would FINALLY BE REDUCED. In the end Russia would be free
and believers would go forth from Russia and China taking the Good News to all the earth before the antichrist.
APPENDIX G : Hudson Taylor
On one of his furloughs in the 1850's to England, Hudson Taylor was preaching when he suddenly stopped and just stood
for a period of time with his eyes closed. When he started to speak again he explained that he had seen a vision. In this
vision he saw a great war that would encompass the whole world. He saw this war recess and then start again, actually
being two wars. After this much unrest and revolts would affect many nations. There would be spiritual awakenings in
some places. In Russia there would be a "general, all encompassing, national spiritual awakening so great that there
could never be another like it." From Russia awakening will spread to many European countries, followed by an all out
awakening, after which Christ will come.
APPENDIX H : Bill Hamon
One of the best known principles for determining the Will of God is the scriptural requirement that everything must be
confirmed in the mouth of two or three witnesses before accepting it as fact. This principle about receiving confirmation
was established in the law of Moses (Dt. 17:6; 19:15) and reestablished under grace in the Church by the Apostle Paul
(2 Cor. 13:1).
The rule can be applied to a word of counsel, a word of prophecy, or a rhema word. Just as the general Will of God
cannot be established by a single verse, neither can the specific Will of God be established by one prophecy, one
rhema, one counselor, or one anything else. It is not offensive to the Lord for you to withhold judgment on a word until
you receive confirmation from two or three other sources. In fact, He insists that in all serious matters there be at least
two and preferably three witnesses before you accept a prophetic word.
taken from 'Prophets and Personal Prophecy' by Dr. Bill Hamon
APPENDIX I : Paul Erdman
This is taken from the novel "Panic of '89" by Paul Erdman. It is included to show the extent of anti-American sentiment
around the world. And to prove that the prophesied turn of events, all the world turning against the U.S., is not
inconceivable.
"The United States, by the end of 1988, had become the world's most hated country....And not just in Latin America
where the United States had for generations been regarded as the world's last imperialist power. No the same hatred was
also endemic in Europe. Here the United States was seen as a bully nation led by primitive men who were forever
threatening the extinction of mankind, obsessed, as they were, with retaining global power no matter what the cost might
be ... for others. If it come to a showdown with the Russians, many Europeans were convinced that the Americans would
fight...to the last German and Frenchman and Britisher. Better them dead than America Red.
"In Asia the United States was seen as a big crybaby. The Americans had, to a man, been for free trade as long as the
rest of the world lay in ruins after World War II. Peoples everywhere were desperate for all those things which only
America could supply. They bought them regardless of either price or quality. But when the productive facilities of the
rest of the world were finally renewed, the Americans suddenly found that they were no longer able to compete with
Japan and Hong Kong and Taiwan and South Korea in steel and automobiles and consumer electronics and textiles and
even computers. When free trade no longer meant easy profits for Detroit or Silicon Valley -- what did they do? Instead of
working a little harder, they tried to force the government in Washington to close up their markets by establishing import
quotas. And when it worked, they said to the foreigners: "Too bad. We have to look after ourselves for a change."
"In the Middle East, the United States was seen as a nation which would never cease giving blind support to Israel. In
black Africa, it was seen as a silent supporter of apartheid; in white South Africa it was seen as a nation of gullible
wimps who would rather listen to Bishop Tutu than the Reverend Jerry Falwell."
APPENDIX J : A 'prophetic' game.
In 1976 Simulations Publications Inc., now defunct, of New York published a Wargame titled 'Invasion America.' This
game, designed by James F. Dunnigan with J. A. Nelson is a hypothetical study of a some time future invasion of North
America by European, South American and Asian Allies. Interestingly the proposed "historical justification" for the game
reads as follows.
"2000: U. S. soil becomes the most valuable commodity in the world. Food shortages and greed are the main factors
involved in the launching of a relatively coordinated invasion of the North America Continent."

Judgment USA -
Dream And New Date
Thomas Heward
Gentlemen,
For the past 4 years I have been preaching a nuclear war, military invasion and captivity would come upon the USA for
her immorality. I have traversed the land and preached like Jonah. With bullhorn in hand and dressed in military fatigues
with camouflage paint and dummy hand grenades I have shouted to the American people to repent or face the judgment
of nuclear war. Most recently I published a newsletter and mailed and e-mailed it to many major and minor ministries
across this great land of our's. You have (Bill Somers and David Eell) featured some of my dreams and words on your
sites).
In my most recent shoutings and yellings and frantic ravings I stated God would bring this awful judgment about late in
98. I have happy news to share with you regarding this judgment. It will not come in 1998, God is giving us another year
to come out of delusion and face the truth with heartfelt repentance. I am basing this revelation on a dream I received
from the Lord about 2 weeks ago. Following is the dream: In the beginning of the dream I was running into a large room
and I was twirling around and dancing and shouting for joy and singing. In the next scene I was preaching a strong
message of repentance to the American People saying "God is not going to judge America with a nuclear war in late of
1998 but is giving this country another year to bear fruit and turn back to Him." In the next scene of the dream I was
weeping because, although God was giving America another year to come back to Himself He was still planning to carry
out His destruction of this country with a nuclear war, military invasion and captivity in 1999 but we were being given
another chance to turn back to Him.
I was weeping in order to break up the fallow ground (more like concrete) and also because, we as a nation were still
behaving like spiritual apostates and God had not changed His mind about judging this country so severely but only put
this judgment off for one more year. May God's continued patience with the citizens and Christians of this country prove
Him to be, not an ENABLER, but rather a loving and wise Father to Our Nation, believing We will certainly turn back to
Him, to His glory and our benefit.
Sincerely
Tom Heward with Ground Zero Ministries

Just One Commission

Heriberto González
28 Aug 1998
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ
As we know, The Lord does not do anything unless He first reveals it to His prophets, so that they can declare His plans.
Today we can find very consistent messages coming from many of His servants living in different nations. A few
examples are:
A Great end-time Revival is in its way. God is preparing His Body for a big Harvest. Preconceived notions are going to be
laid aside. Church structure is about to change. A mayor change is coming to the world. The judgement of God is going
to be increasing. God is restoring the five-fold ministry. The Body of Christ is going to be inter-submitted. The Lord is
going to create an international Network. Israel is going to have a central part in His plans. The Lord is coming very soon.
Even though these and many other prophetic messages are very important to the Body of Christ so that we can be ready
knowing and doing His Will, we should not forget the central point and focus in our lives as Christians which is being with
JESUS in a permanent intimacy and accomplishing the ONLY ONE COMMISSION He gave us no matter the
circumstances:
GO AND MAKE "DISCIPLES" OF ALL NATIONS AND "TEACHING" THEM TO OBEY HIS WORD.
Knowing His main purpose for our lives, I wonder if we are preparing ourselves as His Body in a proper way to do His Will
and to be ready for all of these things about to come.
For instance...what would we do if suddenly a powerful Revival hits our community and in just one week our local church
increases its members from 500 to 3,000? Lets think that Spirit-led repentance continues in our neighborhood and the
second week 1,500 more are added to our church, and we are watching exactly the same pattern occurring in other
churches all over the city.
Who is going to take care for the Lord's new sheep, so that the fruit remains, and so the deceiver does not snatch away
the seed of the word? Do you think that our senior Pastors, 4 or 5 elders and a few deacons and leaders are going to be
able of sustain the harvest by themselves?
Who is going to be used by the Lord to break bondages in thousands of new born again Christians that limit their spiritual
growth?
Who is going to be interceding before the Father's throne that their faith not fail?
I do believe that the Lord is about to move us out of the church buildings in a powerful way to our houses, work places,
open theatres, wide parks and gardens, streets and hedges all over our cities not only to PREACH His Gospel but to be
TEACHING His Word to the Lord's new sheep in a permanent basis.
He is calling each and every one of His sons and daughters in these final days to prepare to be used in the great and
ONLY ONE COMMISSION that He gave us (Matthew 28:19-20).
The coming Harvest will be so abundant that only a great army all over our cities is going to take care for His new sheep.
We must remember that the Lord gave us only ONE COMMISSION. Gifts, ministries, talents, strategies, plans,
programs, networks, structures, angelic assistance, and even computers, are only means to achieve it.
In His Love from Mexico

Introduction
Luke 1: 76-80, "’And you child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before
the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the
remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on
high has visited us; To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide
our feet into the way of peace’. So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the
deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel."
Luke 1:39-45, "Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city
of Judah, and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. And it happened, when
Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit. Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, ‘Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! But why is this granted to me, that the mother or
my Lord should come to me? For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my
ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a
fulfilment of those things which were told here from the Lord.’"
Many credible prophetic figures today believe that we are in a similar timeframe to the ministry of John the Baptist
which will lead to the ministry of Jesus being expressed through the body of Christ world-wide.
In the time of the ministry of John the Baptist there was a great expectation in the hearts of the people (see Luke
3:15). People knew that something of great significance was about to happen in the Middle East, 2000 years ago.
Those "in the know" with prophecies found in the Old Testament (e.g. book of Daniel) knew that there was an
expectancy for the coming of the Messiah, and some thought John was He. He had to preach that he was not the
coming one but there was one coming after him who was far greater than him. (John 3:30, "... He must increase I
must decrease".) So, many are seeing that this current refreshing and renewal within the body of Christ which
increasingly is becoming global is only the beginning of something that will develop into global revival.
If it is true that we are in a similar timeframe to the early life of Jesus then;
Just as.... Jesus was born as a baby so revival will born in embryonic form. God is the ultimate seed planter.
Everything that He has initiated after creation has begun in seed form. This coming revival was conceived in the mind
of God, it’s God’s idea and not man’s idea. There is no way that we can whip this up, hype it up or shout it down if
God has decreed that it will happen then it will come to pass.
Just as.... Herod sought the death of Jesus so there are figures in high places today, both secular and religious, who
will seek the death of this revival. Jesus’ earthly parents had to be very wise to avoid Herod’s order that all children
under two years of age in Bethlehem should be killed in order to frustrate the prophecies of the "King" coming from
that town. In the same way, we will have to fight for this revival, nurture it and protect it or many innocent lives may
be lost. As a side issue, Herod is still around today, except now he is killing babies long before they’re born.
Just as.... wise men searched for Jesus, so the wise are still seeking Him today wherever He may be found. Recently
my wife and I visited the Airport Vineyard church in Toronto, Canada for the second time and there was no
indication at all that what began there in early 1994 is beginning to diminish. That church is an indication that the wise
are coming from every direction, from the north and the south and the east and the west, to where God is pouring
out His spirit today. The key is hunger and desperation. Those who come with a sense of desperately seeking God
are filled and go away totally transformed, renewed and refreshed. God is raising up many other churches and many
other ministries to be "watering holes" for the outpouring of His spirit. The wise are coming from every direction to
be in on what God wants to do.
Just as.... Jesus was born in humility (a stable) so revival is often born in the most humble and unexpected places
(i.e. Izuza Street/Welsh revival). God often chooses the most unexpected or unlikely places and people to
accomplish His purposes. Jesus should have been born amongst the greatest splendour and best facilities that the
world had to offer but instead He was born in a stable full of animals - did they lay him in a gold encrusted cradle
would which only be remotely befitting of His stature as Creator and Sustainer of The Universe - no, they laid Him in
a manger, having brushed aside the straw where the animals had been eating. Born in Bethlehem, a place mentioned
only once in Scripture and for that very reason that it would be the town that would bring forth the Messiah. (See
Micah 5:2.)
Just as.... Jesus as a baby couldn’t walk, talk or change his own nappies, we don’t understand a lot of the things that
God is doing at the moment, but there will come a time of maturity when we can expect to see the ministry of Jesus
fulfilled in and through the body of Christ world-wide. As a matter of fact Jesus says in John 14:12 that we will do
"greater works" than what He did. I believe that if we collectively pulled all of our together, it wouldn’t be enough to
even scratch the surface of God’s intentions for the earth over the next 5 to 10 years. As we are equipped,
renewed, refreshed and empowered through this new move of God, we surely must move into a time when God’s
glory will be manifested in great power. The sick will be truly healed, the dead being raised will be a daily
occurrence, real miracles will be commonplace, lepers will be healed and demons cast out.
Just as.... only people of faith saw the potential in the infant Jesus, only people of faith today will recognise this
"baby" revival as the beginning of something enormous. In Luke 2 we read the story of Simeon and Anna, two
people - both advanced in years - who had hung around the temple because the Holy Spirit had promised them they
would not leave this world until they had witnessed with their own eyes the coming King.
On that fateful day, when Joseph and Mary walked into the courtyard of the temple carrying a little baby, about 6
weeks old, to most they were just one young couple amongst many hundreds who must have been thronging the
courtyard that day. But to Anna and Simeon, when they caught a glimpse of them, something quickened in their
hearts as they realised that that little child they were looking at was the fulfilment of all promises they had been given.
Not many others truly recognised who He was.
Just as.... we are seeing denominational walls begin to melt away and a greater unity possible then ever before in the
body of Christ, God declares through Paul (as recorded in Galatians 3:28) that ultimately unity will come to the
whole world. The Scripture says: "For as many of you who were baptised into Christ have put on Christ. "There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; you are all one in Christ
Jesus". Clearly this speaks of the time when we will see full racial unity come about, freedom from bondage and
gender unity as a result of the global revival. I believe the ultimate fruit that God wants to see is that on a global
scale, ethnic cleansing and civil war based on racism and the whole issue of gender or sexual rights, will begin to melt
away. Already we’ve seen God begin to institute freedom from bondage with the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, thus
liberating millions from the bondage of communism.
Just as.... God is now moving in the lives of individuals, cleaning them up and renewing their passion, embryonic
renewal will move into corporate revival. But this must first begin in the church. It is the church that needs reviving,
not the world. The world needs resurrection because they are "dead in their sins". God is not going to entrust a
massive global revival, with the result of millions of souls flooding into His kingdom, to a body which isn’t ready to
receive it.
In Ezekiel 37 we read about the vision of the valley of dry bones. God tells us this prophecy is specifically for
renewal of the nation of Israel, but as the "spiritual Israel" we can picture that the body of Christ is being affected in a
similar way - bones all coming together, sinews are being put on them, flesh is put on them, and the breath of life is
being breathed into them. They stand up as a mighty army, a corporate entity ready to do battle. We believe that this
will lead to the great end time harvest that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 13 and that will lead to a similar situation
as recorded in Luke 5:4-10 where we see that Jesus instructed his fishermen/disciples to "launch out into the deep".
The result is that nets are breaking and boats are sinking with the huge catch that is realised. We in the body of
Christ are going to have to get used to the possibility of nets breaking and boats sinking.

Just Entering Into Wrath:

by Thomas Gibson
May 9, 1998
For this will of the Lord, that they be judgment and wrath come upon this earth, is not to be dismissed lightly. Heed it
and note it. For you're just entering in to a time of wrath of this earth. Just entering in. Do not despise it. Do not turn
away from it.
Do not believe in a false report. For there are many false reports that shall come and go. They shall say that these times
shall not be. Oh, it shall not be that bad. Oh, there won't be this kind of a problem. And oh, this isn't true. And you shall
here them, from one end of the church to the other. This is a false report, they'll say.
But I tell you this is a true prophecy. This is the word of the Lord. Never again, never again, never again, in the history of
mankind, will the wrath and judgment, like is about to come.
For this is the end times, says the Lord. This wrath and this judgment shall lead into the very coming of the Lord Jesus
Christ. You're just entering into this time. And as you enter in beware of the way to walk. For any way outside of the will
of the Lord, will not be successful.
If you will walk in My ways, put yourself in My hands, says the Lord, and let Me walk will you, guide you and protect you,
you will be the most blessed of this earth, you will be the most blessed of your nation. And those who walk with Me,
shall be blessed going in, and shall be blessed going out.

Just in Time
Bill Evanochko
Ever hear someone say….

"God ain’t never late, but He ain’t never early either"
How many of us, pray and pray and no answer?
Consider this verse …
HEB 4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
I love that verse…we can approach His throne confidently,

with boldness (only through the Blood of Jesus - Heb 10:19)
ah… the Throne of Grace… my my Why?
To receive mercy first, then grace.
When? IN OUR TIME OF NEED!!!!!
You see, we can’t just ask our Father for something

when we really don’t need it AT THAT MOMENT
let alone things we just want and not need.
There is a big difference between wanting and needing.
Amen?
But see that last line - IN OUR TIME OF NEED!

At the moment you NEED it, our Father will supply.
Do you see it?
Not a moment before, if I am understanding this verse correctly.
This completely explains why…
"My God is never late, but never too early either."
So we got both in that one tiny verse… need and time.
Think about… when our time of need comes…
He will always be found faithful.

The Keys Of The Kingdom

by A. Mathews
The phrase "keys to" is common and used everyday by most everyone.
Your teenager may ask to borrow the car and he can’t use it unless you give him "the keys to the car."
On Sunday morning the pastor or deacon arrives at the church and they cannot get into the church without
using "the keys to the church."
A shop owner arrives and cannot open for business without using his/her "keys to the shop."
The last time your were in a hotel you probably used a key made like a charge card which contained a
magnetic strip that you swiped in the lock to let you into the room.
We find several passages in the Word referring to keys, but the phrase is "of" rather than "to" in almost all. Let’s
look at one in particular.
In Matthew 16:13-19 Jesus teaches us a very important principle of the Kingdom.
It begins with Jesus asking His disciples who men said that He was. They all gave their answers by saying that some
said John the Baptist, some Elijah, others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Then He asked them, "But who do you
say that I am?" Peter jumped right in with his answer. . ."You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus
blessed him and said that flesh and blood (meaning no man) had revealed it to him, but that His Father who is in
heaven. He goes on and tells us that He would build His church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.
Then in verse 19 He says, "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Beloved, grasp this picture with
me. Peter just had a divine imparted revelation confirmed by Jesus Himself. Then, Jesus imparted the keys of the
kingdom His disciples.
As we read on in the chapter, we find that Jesus then began to tell them about what He would suffer. What did Peter
do? He pulled Jesus aside and began to rebuke Him saying this shall not happen to you. Peter had just had the
revelation of who Jesus was and now he is telling Jesus that He is wrong! I think Peter must have mislaid the keys.
Can you imagine telling Jesus, "excuse me brother, I believe you’ve made a mistake here?" Jesus then turns to Peter
and rebukes the devil and lets Peter know that he is more concerned about the things of man than the things of God.
Jesus said He was giving them the keys of the kingdom. I believe that this meant He imparted authority. So from this
we would see that the keys are directly related to our authority in His Name.
The Lord showed me that "the keys of the kingdom" are humility, repentance, and obedience. It is only through
these three that we can experience the Kingdom and all its benefits of righteousness, peace, and joy. (Romans
14:17)
Beloved, we must daily remain humble, repentant, and obedient if we expect to use the authority of the Name of
Jesus. I fear that too many of us have misplaced our keys of the kingdom. We take offense over little things. We
notice and call attention to the speck in our brothers eye as we pass off our own "sin" as if it were nothing. We
grumble and complain over slight hardships in our lives. Are the gates of hell are prevailing against the church by us
letting the devil use us to thwart the move of God?
Beloved, join with me today and determine that when we get into God’s presence, we’ll stay quiet long enough to let
Him speak to us and show us "sins" we have passed off as nothing. Let’s wait before Him as long as it takes to let
Him conform us to His image as we humble ourselves in true repentance determined to remain obedient. Then the
keys of the kingdom will be effective in us to bind and loose on earth and in heaven.
Let the church be built up by our humility, repentance, and obedience.

The Killing Of The Bull

Bob Neumann
I was standing in that place of relativeness that Isaiah called the valley of Vision. When I was aware of this fact I saw a
figure who was waiting for me, so to speak. As before HE was dressed in traveling attire, a heavy full cloak with a hood.
Unlike the times I have seen my MASTER, the LORD OF HOSTS dressed this way, I too seemed to be wearing the
same hooded cloak.
As I came to HIM HE nodded HIS HEAD and turned and walked with me just at and behind HIS left shoulder. We walked
quickly and with both purpose and intent till we seemed to enter a much wider and open area. When HE stopped, HE
made a half turn toward me and calmly stated: "YOU MUST KNOW WHAT IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE".
HE turned HIS HEAD and looked out into the center of this space and there stood this large Texas Longhorn type 'bull'.
Exactly what you would see at UTexas football games or on commercials for the stock market. It's horns were wide and
came to quite impressive points. It stood still in the center of a circle of light as a 'spot light' would cause.
"THIS IS THE TRUE GOD OF AMERICA'' stated my MASTER. Slowly the 'bull' began to move and the spotlight moved
with 'him', wherever the 'bull' moved the spotlight moved with 'him'. Every now and then it seemed to move suddenly and
strike a pose.
''AND THAT IS HOW IT HAS BEEN'', stated the LORD, "BUT THIS IS HOW IT NOW IS...." As the 'bull' stood still the
light began to move away from 'him' the 'bull' would move to get back into the light. Each time the light moved farther and
the 'bull' had to move farther and faster to stay in the light. Now it seemed the 'bull' was chasing the light and never really
catching it.
By this time I had a good idea that we were standing inside an arena like area and there were ''figures'' on the edges of
the area but I couldn't distinguish anything besides shadow-figures.
"NOW YOU MUST SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND WHAT WILL QUICKLY COME TO PASS..."
The 'bull' stood again in the center of the arena and the light was on 'him'. For the first time I noticed a large figure
standing across from where we stood, staring at the 'bull'. In size and shape he was identical to MY CAPTAIN but a
''shadow-figure'' and I knew it was the 'BEAST'.
As I turned to THE LORD with questions running through my mind/spirit HE lifted HIS RIGHT HAND and everything froze,
time/space/eternity, everything stopped dead so to speak.
With a casual move HE brushed back HIS HOOD and I once again looked into the FACE of my KING. With a half smile
and a slight turn of HIS HEAD HE slapped me on the shoulder and explained.
"ONCE MY PEOPLE BUILT AN IMAGE OF A CALF OF GOLD TO WORSHIP. AMERICA HAS ALLOWED THAT CALF
TO GROW UP AND REPRESENT ALL THAT IT WORSHIPS.'' Suddenly I felt something in my right hand and I looked
and saw some coins.
"WHOSE IMAGE DO YOU SEE?", HE asked. as I looked into my hand and saw a nickel, a quarter, and a coin that
looked like gold and a coin that looked like silver. All I could think was "it isn't you LORD". "THEN WHAT DOES IT SAY?
" HE asked gently. I replied "IN GOD WE TRUST".
As HE turned toward the "bull'' in the light HE explained.
"MAN CAN NOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. YOUR PEOPLE CHOSE TO SERVE MAMMON AND NOT ME. THE
RELIGIOUS IMAGES IN YOUR HAND DECLARE TO THE WORLD THEIR TRUST IS IN THEIR GOD. HAVE YOU
NOTICED THEIR GOD?'' with that we turned and walked to the 'bull'. And 'he' began again to move. It seemed to notice
our approach and ignored us. I looked and was wondering what I was supposed to be looking for. For some reason I
began to stare at it's nose and couldn't figure it out. "THIS IS AN ANIMAL THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAMED. IT RUNS
WHERE IT CHOOSES AND CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED''. With that I had an image of a nose ring, where you would
lead a 'bull'. "THEIR GOD IS NOT CONTROLLED AS THEY WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. SO THEY WILL CHANGE IT
SOON. BUT HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEIR BULL?''
Now I really had to wonder and I began to walk around it when it responded to nature and released a couple gallons of
urine and a very large 'patty'. the animal had no concern where it hit when it splattered. And it stood in a good scattering
of similar stuff. But with the 'deposit' I got a good look at the posterior and realized it really wasn't a bull after all. just a
'steer'.
"THE LIE GOES FAR BEYOND WHO THEIR GOD IS. BUT EVEN THEN THEIR IDOL CAN NOT EVEN DO WHAT
THEY SEEK THE MOST, REPRODUCE ITSELF. THAT IS THE LIE THAT WILL BRING THE DESTRUCTION OF YOUR
COUNTRY. YOU TOLD THE NATIONS AND PRINCES OF THIS WORLD IF THEY DRANK FROM YOUR CUP AND
WORSHIPPED YOUR IDOL IT WOULD REPRODUCE ITSELF. BUT YOUR LEADERS KNEW THAT IT COULD NOT
AND TOOK ALL THE WEALTH IT COULD FROM THOSE WHO BELIEVED THEIR LIES, DREAMS, AND VISIONS.
NOW THEY WILL STRIKE AT YOU THROUGH YOUR GOD."
With that statement HE turned away and returned to our place of observation. And as it seemed appropriate I dropped
the coins in the fresh patty near my feet and took my place at his side.
As easily as time stopped it began again. The 'beast' came closer to the steer. The steer shied away. It did not challenge
and paw the ground like you see in bullfights, another confirmation that it was not a 'bull'. Suddenly the spotlight
disappeared and the 'arena' was now seen. the shadow figures filled the arena's seats, all sizes and shapes. As I stood
watching the sense of anticipation and imminence grew. All of a sudden a roar of trumpets blared a long 'musical' fanfare
and as it ended the 'bull' was 'struck' and reeled backward and as the 'cheers' of the 'crowd' arose it steadied it's feet and
shook it's head to 'clear the cobwebs'. We waited again. and without warning the 'trumpet fanfare' began. It was louder
and lasted longer, as it ended the 'bull jerked to it's side and again the cheer rang up. Now four long deep gashes
appeared on each flank and blood began to flow. Now the wait was shorter and I began to count. Again the third fanfare
and cheers were louder and longer as again the 'bull' was struck backward and nearly fell off it's feet. The fourth assault
left laceration across all four legs. The fifth assault pushed it's head down and as it fell to it's knees it's whole body began
to tremor and shake. As it came to it's feet again blood flowed from its nostrils and pink foaming from the mouth and I
thought 'mad cow disease'. The sixth assault came with no waiting period and this time it was struck backward with such
force it was knocked off it's feet and slid backward in it's excrement.
This time the 'bull' struggled to get up and it was obvious a rear leg was broken. As the seventh fanfare began shadows
charged out into the arena and took hold of the 'bull' and turned it on it's back and held it down. I noticed the beast come
forward with a short slim sword in it's hand. And as the fanfare ended he slashed the 'bull's' neck and as the cheers went
up small black critters in unbelievable numbers ran out to drink the blood. As the cheer ended the eighth fanfare began
and the beast slashed the belly of the bull from top to bottom. As the disembowelment occurred the cheers began and
many large critters began to feed on the entrails. The ninth fanfare and cheer came as the head was severed from the
carcass as the carcass was drawn and quartered. And immediately a short tenth fanfare and cheer came as the critters
ran off in four different directions each with a chunk of meat. At this point I noticed the eyes just now glaze over as the
bull/steer/america finally dies after all this brutal treatment; awake and aware of all that took place.
As the scene completely vanished we turned around and this time slowly retraced our steps. As we walked THE LORD
explained what I had witnessed.
''SEVEN BLOWS WILL BE GIVEN BUT TEN JUDGMENTS ARE RESERVED FOR EGYPT. SEVEN BLOWS WILL
BRING DOWN THE IDOL OF AMERICA. THE FIRST TWO HAVE STUCK AND YOUR COUNTRY BLEEDS. THE FIRST
WAS A BLOW THAT DROVE YOUR GOD BACKWARD, BUT IT CAME BACK A BIT. THE SECOND BLOW CUT
DEEPLY INTO IT'S LOINS AND WEAKENED IT'S STRONGEST POINTS. THE THIRD BLOW WILL COME SHORTLY
AND WILL STRIKE IT BACKWARD AND IT WILL NOT RECOVER IT'S LOST GROUND. THE FOURTH BLOW WILL
NOW DESTROY IT'S ABILITY TO MOVE AND EVADE THE NEXT BLOW WHICH WILL BE A PESTILENCE FROM A
FOE YOU DID NOT EXPECT. THAT IS THE FIFTH AND DECIDING BLOW. THE SIXTH BLOW WILL CRIPPLE YOUR
IDOL AND DELIVER IT TO THE BEAST FOR DEVOURING. THE SEVENTH BLOW IS THE DEATH BLOW. YET THE
EIGHTH, NINTH, AND TENTH THAT WILL STRIP, DIVIDE, AND DEVOUR WILL BE THE NOURISHMENT NEEDED TO
EMPOWER THE BEAST FOR THE SHORT TIME HE HAS LEFT.''
At this point we stopped and HE faced me and once again placed the HOOD over HIS HEAD.
"THAT IS WHY I SENT YOU TO GOSHEN FOR I HAVE A REMNANT EVEN IN EGYPT. IN THE HEART OF BABYLON
I CALLED TO THEM AND THOSE WHO KNOW MY VOICE HEARD AND CAME OUT. BUT IN EGYPT THEY ARE IN
BONDAGE AND I SEND MY SERVANTS TO THEM TILL THE INDIGNATION IS PASSED AND THE PLAGUES HAVE
FALLEN UPON THOSE WHO HAVE HARDENED THEIR HEARTS.'' ''IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT'', He laughed as he
gripped my shoulder.
"YOU KNOW WHAT WILL NEED TO BE DONE AND YOU WILL DO IT. THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL FIND SAFETY
IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM AND THE DARKEST OF THE NIGHT. GUARD MY SHEEP OLD DOG A LITTLE WHILE
LONGER''.
and it ended.

Prophetic Words For 1998

Kim Clement --
Prophetic Words
Detroit Flame
December 1997 Meetings
Prophet Kim Clement
December 14, 1997
First Prophecy:
Jesus tells me to tell you tonight. Believe it or not, the Spirit of Prophecy is present in this building to tell you this
tonight. You want a new realm, you want a new reign. In 1997 many of you endured with Me through my trials. You came
out smiling even though wounded. You came out laughing even though hurt. And God said because you did that, I'm
going to bestow upon you a brand new realm, a brand new authority, a brand new dominion that you can carry into 1998.
And when you do, the world will see Me, they will understand who I am because I'm bestowing upon you a new realm
and a new reign.
Second Prophecy:
Those who have been detested. Those who have been called despicable in this Millennium will be called princes and
kings in the new Millennium. Listen to the Word of the Lord tonight. I don't care what they've called you. I don't care what
you're suffering right now. In the new Millennium you are going to be princes and kings. You're going to be royal heirs to
the throne of the greatest revival that has hit the planet Earth.
Third Prophecy:
You're going to know where the enemy is. You're going to know what the enemy is going to do long before he does it.
And you're going to confound him because you're going to have an exact word from God as to where he is, as to where
he is going to attack. And you're going to have ears to the bedroom and to the chambers of the principalities, so that you
know before they attack where they're going to attack. You'll know before they put sickness upon your body, where
they're going to put it. And you're going to counter-attack before it even gets there. I know it sounds crazy but I know its
going to happen. I've got scriptures for you. I'm going to prove it to you. And that's going to put us on the cutting edge,
says the Lord of Hosts.

Prophesied By Prophet Lee Williams
December 16, 1997
My children I've taken you beyond the veil. I've taken you into My rest. You have entered into My rest but you must
understand what My rest is. I have lifted you above the enemy, high above the enemy. I have taken you on a wave of My
Spirit. I have taken you from glory to glory. But you must understand that I have taken you to a place of peace, of
comfort, but of safety. I've taken you to a place of safety. I have taken you to My holy mountain and you must understand
that the place of safety is where brotherly love is. I have taken you to a place of brotherly love. Let brotherly love continue.
You cannot go back. For this is the place of safety. And even as you look into My eyes, you will see the reflection of
your brother and your sister. For I see you and I see your brother and I see your sister in you. You cannot go back. There
is no going back. For this is the place of safety.
And understand this My children, that the enemy in the days to come will try his best to cause you to find dissension, to
find fault in your brothers and sisters. He will try to raise the ugly head of racism. He will try to raise the head of fault
finding. He will cause you to look at your brother and doubt his love and his trust. But I say that I have taken you above
these things. And you have a responsibility now to walk in love. No matter what comes walk in love. You are an
overcoming people and I have taken you above and you shall not go back down again. But to go down is to go alone for I
am here and I will keep you here. But know that I will take you higher than this. I will take you to My bosom, to my
bosom. Love one another as I have loved you and they will know that you are my disciples, says the Lord.

Prophesied By Prophet Kim Clement
December 19, 1997
For as the Spirit has spoken before and as the Spirit has declared onto us what He has done this year, He has surely
performed it. For even in this year it came to pass, says the Lord of Hosts, that the satanic church as they call
themselves, had a strike to the very core of their power. And God says, I have not finished yet. I have only just begun.
For that which has been defiant to My Word, every force of defiance to My Word will be struck down the same way.
What is man that thou are mindful of him? What is man that I am mindful of him, says the Lord. If it were not for the Son
of God, I would not have tolerated what I have tolerated. But My Son cries out and His blood cries out, and prays for the
people. And therefore, salvation is coming says the Lord in a swift manner. But before it does, before the year 2000, I will
strike to the very core the defiant forces that have risen against My people. I will strike them down to nothing. They will
be as nothing. And they will say, look one minute we were strong, one minute we were powerful, look we have been
stricken down. Because Babylon the Great is great fallen, is fallen.
But the Lord says, don't you realize that the spirit of this hour has declared war on you, you My people that are filled with
My Spirit. You that have decided we will pray. We will pray not only to make it today but we will pray to get it into
tomorrow. God says you are the ones that will defy the very system. But listen to Me. I will strike to the very core the
satanic cults that have invaded the schools of America. For God says, watch and see. Watch and see how I move in the
schools this next year. Watch and see. The Lord says, did they think, did they think that their silly laws would stop Me,
the Spirit of all spirits, from coming into their system?
God says there has never been a system that has stopped Me. There has never been a system that has stopped Me.
There has never been a war that has held Me down. There has never been a cross that has held Me up. God says there
has never been a grave that has held Me in. I was always resurrected, says the Lord. There has never been anything that
has held Me back. Why should it change now. God says, the more defiant they get, the more powerful I get. God says,
the more defiant they get to My people, the more antagonistic they get--we will not tolerate the invasion of a religious
system into this that God is raising up. Do they really think that they could stop Me from infiltrating the system? Did they
really think that by banning Me from the schools, that I would still not go back into them? God says I have spies. I have
spies that are going into the educational system.
Watch Me next year. Watch how subtly I move through the Supreme Court, through the Justice, that which they call a
Justice system. Watch Me, says the Lord and see what I do. It shall come to pass. Where they stop Me and where they
try to bind Me, there will be the greatest revivals. Where they stop Me, there will be the greatest moves. For it shall come
to pass that seven year olds, and eight year olds, and nine year olds in the school system shall have an incredible
baptism of fire, a baptism of fire, says the Spirit of the Lord. It shall come to pass that they will not be able to stop them.
They will kick some of them out. They will expel them and tell the parents to stop them. But they will not be able to stop
the Samuel generation, the Samuels that I am raising up that will defy the Elis of this hour, that's what I say to you.
Watch Me says the Lord and see what I do.
There will be a silent self-righteousness that will come against the present President of the United States. A subtlety,
says the Lord that I will not allow. For some shall even do everything in their power to stop My Spirit coming upon him.
But the Spirit of the Lord says, it is too late. I am already there. I have already gone into the very place where they
thought I did not exist. Could they possible confine an omnipresent God? Could they possibly confine and put to nought,
the very omniscience of God? Could they possibly stop the omnipotent One that has created the worlds. This is
laughable. Ha! Ha! I laugh at them, says the Lord. I laugh. Ha! Ha! I laugh at them. I laugh at the system. I laugh at them,
says the Lord. Even like I wrote and I spoke about in Proverbs. I look upon them and I laugh with mockery. Would
mankind, the simple dust of the Earth, point His finger at God? Where were you when I made this world? says God.
Where were you when I brought forth the rivers and the seas?
Where were you when I breathed into mankind and made him a living being? Where were you? And if you were not there,
then God says you are not now. For I am still alive and I will be when you are gone. Therefore, the Lord God says I am
God and I will show you my intolerance next year and I will raise up a righteousness in the educational system, in the
system they call the Justice. And God says in the political arena, there will be shaking and breakthrough, says the Lord.
Do not take lightly your prayers. Do not take lightly your praise. Do not take lightly your worship. Because God says,
when you do this, you're doing it onto Me. It is exchange for a sword I have given onto you. Watch the soil of America.
America, says the Lord, that has taken the blood of many. Watch the soil, says the Lord. For it shall come to pass that
there shall be great grief, shall great grief as the winter comes to the end. And God says, do not fear as the Earth begins
to shake, for I will yet do what I said I'm going to do. Did I not prove it to you, and I will prove Myself once again. Men
shall begin to faint. And many shall say we cannot survive this that has come against us.
But once again I will stretch out My hand in great mercy, and I will cause a survival to take place, says the Lord in Wall
Street, Madison Avenue. God says there will be such a breakthrough. The people will say why is it, we thought God
would punish America. But God says, because of the righteous, I'm going to bless you and put into your hands the
ability to get wealth. I'm going to give you the power to get wealth. I'm going to give you joy. I'm going to give you power
to get wealth, says the Lord. Get ready for it because I promise you next year is the year that you will take over that
which the enemy has tried to steal from you. Its yours, its yours.
Prayed by Prophet Kim Clement:
Something, something better. Something better than yesterday, Lord. Something greater than yesterday. We want to go
into our new year with something, so powerful Lord, that our lives will be transformed in your presence. Oh God, let
nothing take over, let nothing take over, let nothing but your Spirit take over our lives. Let the revelation of the Spirit and
the truth of the Spirit come upon your people right now. Let the fire of God consume them, right now, in Jesus' Name.
Detroit Flame Prophetic Word From December 19, 1997
Stated by Prophet Kim Clement:
I want the table warriors to get out here and stand in front.
Prophesied by Prophet Kim Clement:
God says, you're hearing the voice, a voice that is carrying the next great breakthrough. And the result is that the prophet
inside of you is leaping for joy at the sound of the voice of God's great revival, and breakthrough, and move of the Spirit.
That's why you are rejoicing tonight. The Holy Spirit told me, I'm going to fill them now with a new baptism, with a new
fire. He just said it earlier on. A fire is coming upon you. A fire that is going to fill you so that you will have a greater
expression in 1998. You will have a greater power, a Dunamis power in 1998. God is filling you with his Holy Spirit right
now.
Holy Spirit, touch them right now. Let your Spirit move amongst them. Let your Spirit fill them. Take it, take it, take it
right now. Let the fire of the Lord come upon your lips, upon your heart, upon your body, upon your mind. Let the fire of
the Lord consume your feet right now, right now.
There is provision. The fire of the Lord is baptizing you. I let that come upon you in preparation for your new year, in
preparation for 1998, in preparation for great, great breakthroughs in 1998. We cut off yesterday; we spring into tomorrow.
Prophesied by Prophet Kim Clement:
Warriors. These that stand in front of this altar, these that stand in front of the altar that was created for sacrifice, these
that stand in front of the altar right now, chosen by the hand of the Lord for the purpose of God in the new Millennium are
about to be trained up by the Lord Himself and His Prophet. Because the spirit of the Prophet shall come upon them, and
it shall be subject to the Prophet. For there will be nothing out of control except that which has been given and granted
by the Spirit. You have a sacrifice that you have made. You have made a sacrifice. You have purposed in your heart to
become what God has purposed for you to become. You have looked and you have beheld the ministry and the spirit of
this man and desired of that in your own lives. It is because of this that the Spirit grants onto you the spirit.
And as a result of it, you will do what they did when they were in the tabernacle, says the Lord, and you will prophesy.
But it shall not be as the old testament prophesy where it only happened in the tabernacle. You will not only prophesy in
the tabernacle, says the Lord, but you will do like those two men did when they walked outside the tabernacle and they
began to prophesy in the camp. God says, you will prophesy in the camp. You will prophesy in the camp. And God
says, but I'll take it further. You'll hit out the walls of the camp and you'll go out into the places where they are destined
for victory--the places where there is great sin, the places where there is great evil and you will go to those places and
you will prophesy.
And God says, you will raise up out of the lonely hearts, you will bring them forth. You will take children and you'll raise
them up to be counselors. You will raise them up to be apostles, prophets, and teachers, evangelists, great
businessmen and women, politicians. God says, you are the warriors that I have chosen. And I have put My Spirit upon
you. Oh, when you begin to prophesy, it shall not only be small, but mundane things. God says, it shall go further where
you shall literally tear down the forces and the evil spirits that have connected with the people of God. You will break
them. For you will have the power to break soul ties. You will have the power to break poverty ties. You will have the
power to break generational curses. You will have the power to even set the atmosphere loose and to bring about the
miraculous. You will bring about creative miracles. I prophesy to the table warriors. I prophesy to the warriors of the new
Millennium. This day the Spirit of the Lord says, arise to the occasion. For as I come upon you tonight I will cause you to
have a new spirit from this second onwards. You will walk out of this building and you will have new vision. You will have
new hearing. You will have a new tongue. You will have a new expression. You will have a new heart. Its yours tonight,
says the Spirit of Grace.
Draw forth. From your innermost being shall come rivers of living water. For once you were like the woman at the well.
For once you were destitute, lost, and empty until I came and spoke to you and gently said to you, give Me some water.
And you were argumentative. And you did not listen and hearken to the voice of the Lord. But you were a seeker. God
says as you stand in front of this altar, you were all like the woman at the well. But I saved you and I salvaged you. I
brought you to a place of understanding and you became the worshippers that I spoke to that woman about. For it shall
come to pass and the time now is that the true worshippers will not worship in this mountain nor in Jerusalem. But the
true worshippers shall worship in Spirit and in truth.
For the Lord God says, I give you two things tonight. I grant you two things by the impartation of the spirit of the Prophet
that is present. And that is, I give you the spirit and I give you the truth of worship. I give you the understanding of how to
touch God so that He can touch them. I give you the understanding of how to see God, so that they can see God. For
God says, your eyes will see Me and God says your hands will touch Me. And you will tread where angels fear to tread. I
give you the power to do it. And no weapon formed against you will prosper. And every tongue that rises against you in
judgment, tonight I promise you, I condemn it by My own voice, says the Lord.
We have received great and precious promises, that by these, by these great and precious promises, through these
great and precious promises we may obtain that which is present for us to obtain. Our hearts see and hear the cry of a
generation going to hell, and we want it changed. These that are standing in your presence, Lord, before this altar now
sacrificed themselves. The sacrifice that God requires is of yourself. That is what He requests. Your body which is your
reasonable service. That you may prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. Now God we present ourselves to
you. We present our bodies, a living sacrifice, our minds, our spirits to be totally aware of present darkness and present
light.
Our spirits to be fully aware of present evil and present right. We pray that, God, we would be like Enoch and live a
prophetic lifestyle in constant conversation with the Spirit world. I anoint these for that. I anoint them to see as I see. I
anoint them to hear as I hear. I anoint them to walk as I walk, to pray as I pray, to discern as I discern, to prophesy as I
prophesy. I anoint these table warriors that will sit at my table. Do not be rebellious. But I anoint them to be defiant
against a system, not a people. We defy the Saul spirit and embrace the David spirit right now. I am praying that a
mantle would rest upon them right now, Lord Jesus. These are the ones that I have chosen to be in leadership with me.

Kneeling Saints/House Of Refuge

Ching Co
November 10, 1998

Dear saints of the Most High God,
These past days, two vision keeps on coming back to my mind. Along with these visions was a great
burden in my heart.
What the Lord have been impressing was that the "great burden" was because what I'm feeling
involved a bigger body of believers and as such I felt that what I have been receiving applied in the
same manner.
Please pray and discern these messages with me:
THE VISION:
I saw an great vast of people and all of them are on their knees with head bowed. Some of them have
their heads bowed down to the ground...the scene was frozen like a picture and there was no
movement..
Then it was followed by a spotlight from heaven shining on those people that are on their knees. It was
like a spotlight from a stage play where everything is frozen and nobody is moving. But the light was
moving and each person that is hit by the light, with that I will see a house...so bright and so shining
that your eyes squint by looking at that..
Then I saw people walking towards these shining houses...people from many nations as their faces
are reflective of different nationalities. It was like a slow motion picture and they were all walking slowly
towards the lighted house. I saw a name in these houses and it was marked "House of refuge"..
The light that was shining upon the house began to become more bright and brighter as I am looking
at it until I feel like I can no longer look directly at the house without hurting my eyes.
THE INTERPRETATION OF THE VISION:
The Lord impress in my heart that the kneeling people represent the people of God who are lifting up
prayers to Him and there is a great number of them.. The meaning of the FROZEN picture is symbolic
of FINISHED WORK OF INTERCESSION. It seems that the past years, the people of God, a great
number of them, specially those that hunger and thirst for righteousness have been through great
battle in all area , very great and intense for I saw a woman in labor pain, and many of these people
have been faithfully crying out to God.
The light represent the angels that God has send out to His people and in the days ahead. God will
sealed not only individual people but there are instances when WHOLE FAMILIES are being called
and sealed by the Lord for His special work. The house of refuge represent saints whose WHOLE
FAMILY HAS BEEN SEALED BY THE LORD'S ANGELS FOR WORK OF GREAT NATURE. And
their whole family will in the future become like "House of refuge" in a sense that the work of the Lord
in these families will be very evident and people around them will know that the Lord alone has done
great and mighty works in their lives. And these families will be sealed with a special anointing and
favor by the Lord and will be set apart in the communities where they are living and great light will be
upon them and great change will come upon the lives of everyone in that family from the oldest to the
youngest and the IMPACT that they will have in that area or community where they live will be so great
and so powerful and so evident and cannot be denied.
THE WORDS:
" My people, as in the days of old. I am calling my people back to Me! I Am bringing in those chained
in darkness into My marvelous light. And I will use you to be My Light to them. There are multitudes of
them waiting in the dungeon of sins and despair. " And I have given the order for them to be released.
The prisons doors are about to be opened. And soon they will come in droves as in the days of old
when I brought my people out of Egypt. But this time, they will enter into their inheritance, this time they
will come into My rest. " My people, I've accepted with open arms all the incense of prayers that you
have lifted up to me. They come to me in various forms, some by your suffering, some by your tears,
some by your moans, many by your faithful obedience...and all these are pleasing aroma unto Me.
None of them have fallen to the ground but all of them have been planted by Me in fertile soil and they
are taking root and bearing much fruit that will last forever. " My people, do not be afraid of the great
onslaughts that is coming upon you and your love ones. It will be for a short time only. For I have you
covered by My great Hand. No weapon forged against you will prosper. The stronger the attack, the
nearer the victory. The more the attack, the bigger the reward and brighter will be the Light shining.. "
As in the days of Joseph, so you will shine and your whole family will be sealed and will be set apart.
And people around you will see, and people surrounding you will be amaze and they will know that my
favor is upon you , and they will understand that the great day of salvation draws near and My
faithfulness will be revealed from heaven and my righteousness and my justice will be seen in your
lives. " As in the days of old, great will be the power that will be unleashed upon your lives. And when
they see the work that I will do in your lives and your loved ones, you yourselves will be amazed and
you will stand in awe and you will acknowledge that I Am one that loves you and I honor those that are
obedient to me unto death and those that hearken unto My voice.. " The season for shining forth is
near. The season for My people to arise and shine is hear. So rejoice My people. Rejoice My faithful
servants. Rejoice My loved ones.. For I am preparing. For I Am on the Way. And a great day is
coming. A great and mighty days like never seen before..
People of God, servants of the Most High God, please test everything for me. If anybody have
received similar words or vision, I will surely appreciate your confirmations.
GOD BLESS HIS PEOPLE!

Vision Of Lamps
Bill Burns
September 6, 1998--
I had a vision of a room that was upside down; the floor was on the ceiling, and I was surprised by the number of lamps
that were there. There were more lamps than were normal for a house, floor lamps, table lamps, all kinds of lamps. Then
a rumbling came through and everything fell. Lights were broken and lamps were put out.
And, the Lord God says, I am about to turn upside down and shake everything again; everything that can be shaken will
be shaken. And through the process of this shaking, many will fall, and their lamps will be put out never to shine again.
But this, My children, does not have to be for you. For you know the season in which you live, for I have come to you with
words of warning, and I have spoken to you about the falling that would come in the fall--the fall of those who are not
found in secure habitations, My habitations. What do I mean when I say be found in secure habitations in the fall? I will
tell you this morning exactly what I mean to those of you that love Me, for it is given to you to know. For when I say be
found in secure habitations, I mean be found securely in Me. Be found securely in the love of the Father. Be found
securely in the leading and the guiding of the Holy Spirit. Be found secure in your seeking after Me, your desire for Me,
your hungering and thirsting. Be found in Me, says the Lord. For indeed there shall come a great shaking upon the land,
and many shall not survive that shaking.
There will be those that have turned their own lamps on and those that have desired to live in their own habitations, and
they have not listened to the words of My warning and they are not making the preparations of the heart for the season of
justice, the season of judgment, the season of burning that is to come upon this land. I say again to you today, be found
in safe habitations. Come aside and seek after Me. Desire Me more than all that you desire within the world and all that
comes to you by way of self nature. Come aside to Me again. I am calling you. If you have listened to My prophetic
voice, you have heard the cry of the Spirit saying, come unto Me.
I have been speaking those words--come unto Me! I am the safe habitation, the only habitation that will survive. I am the
One that knows all things, the One that leads all things, the One that guides all things. I know all that is within you, even
the very intentions of your heart. I say again, come unto Me and take up a place of security, a place and habitation of
strength, a place of provision where I can minister to you all the fruits of righteousness that come to you by way of My
Spirit of truth which I send upon you today. Surely you are in the season of a change of all things. I declare to you that
the leaves on the trees will dictate that change. Coming forth is a new season, a time of preparation must come forth in
your minds and hearts so that you can come forth into My kingdom and I can teach you in the School of the Spirit about
the things that are coming forth and the things that you will have to endure. Come into My class room and let My Spirit
teach you. This is that day.

Lampstand
William Hawkins
At Prayer Saturday evening 12-03-98

I saw the following :
Going before the Throne, great white clouds coming out from the foot of it, like steam but not hot..I was
looking at the lightning and the brightness when my attention was directed(I was
turned by an outside force) towards the Menorah, the 7 branched lampstand..
It was not well lit around it until I began to focus on it and then it began to glow and show that it is all
gold. Part's of it look transparent (Ophir?) and other parts shine and still more is a deep golden luster
about it..
I was looking at the center or servant lamp, which I believe to represent Jesus as the ultimate servant,
when I realized I was not looking at oil pots as expected, but, rather 7 candles..
They were all white.. The wicks were all white and all too long, standing straight up on each one..
As I looked I first felt and then heard a breeze begin to blow.. I t grew in intensity until I was surrounded
by some of the clouds from the throne.. I then saw all the 7 wicks bend over from the force of the wind,
like men would do if they were kneeling before the Lord..
Very slowly, but all together the three on the Right began to stand back upright.. And then all burst into
flame.. First the one closest to the center was a white flame. My impression then was white hot.. The
next one to flame was Golden in color, very golden and soft like love.. Thirdly and last the flame was
Blue as it came forth, a beautiful Blue Color, not dark blue and not pale either..
I was allowed to watch them for a moment and then they faded slowly away..
The colors I believe represent the attributes of the Last days church , one in full blown revival..
Now after several days of prayer and several people who have graciously helped with an
interpretation I offer the following: not fully sure this is all yet and when and if more comes it may well
change the overall picture somewhat..
I believe what I saw was actually two fold in nature..
1. I believe the Lord was showing us how the wind HAS blown through every house that has held up
HIS name before men.. And how only the smaller percentage has answered the call..
What the three stages of revival are and I think how close we are to the second coming of the Lord..
I noticed how strongly the Lord impressed on me the three candles and I have done some work in that
area and will define it as best I can..
3's in the Bible (not all, just some)

All things that are COMPLETE are in three's
Gods attributes are in three--Omniscience--Omnipresence--Omnipotence
Past---Present and Future
Thought---Word and Deed
Three denotes Divine Perfection--Father---Son & Holy Ghost
The word fullness appears three times in the Bible
1. Eph. 3:19 "The fullness of God"
2. Eph. 4:13 "The fullness of Christ
3. Col. 2:9 "The fullness of the Godhead"
The third day was resurrection day
He was crucified at the third hour
Three persons raised from the dead
The temple in three parts
Body---Soul and Spirit
The Law---The Prophets and the Psalms
Three gifts of Grace---Faith--Hope---and Love
Sin= Lust of the Flesh
Lust of the Eyes
Pride of Life
The coming Lord is presented as:
The Divine Prophet (Faithful Witness)
The Divine Priest (First begotten from the dead)
The Divine King (King of Kings and Lord of Lords)
Is he alluding to all or even any of these..?
I see the following:
Stage One:
White---The glow of first love, like when we first accepted Him as Lord.
Pastor (Toronto)
Gold-----Cleansing, loving. Showing us at intervals the way we look to HIM.. Encouraging us with Love
to drop those "THINGS" and come closer to him.
Evangelist (Pensacola)
Blue----Miracles, signs and wonders.. The real thing, by the Lord through at first the Apostles and
Prophets, but then through all that will come in Faith.. He is returning us full circle to
the gifts and the church in full operation..
Not Yet---Soon---Apostles and Prophets to start..

Second Stage:
Will commence when the Blue flame of stage one burns full.
White flame---The Spirit of Life, Righteousness in HIM, True Sanctification revealed.
Gold Flame----The great shower of GLORY from the throne, the anointing with Power to work the
works of the Lord.
Blue Flame----The Spirit of TRUTH, one last time before the great lie is spread upon mankind.
The second stage will also be a condemnation of all the candles that did not stand up when called by
the Spirit.. This is really a separation of the Bride from the Body.. The Bride becoming all that the Lord
has for her..
Stage one takes several Years
Stage two takes several Months..
Blue is the color of Royalty---Arise people the King is coming.
There will be many who will not agree with this, and that is fine.. This is what the Lord has shown ME
so far.. He may show you more or differently.. Praise God for that..
It is my simple prayer that it will encourage you to get before HIM for the answer..

LA Earthquake
Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
by Rick Joyner
This is from the MorningStar Prophetic Bulletin for June 98.
When do we think that the California earthquake that we prophesied in our January 1998 Prophetic Tape Of
The Month is coming?
I do not know anyone who has the timing on this. Some misunderstood Bob Jones to say that it was coming in nine
months (from New Years when the tape was made). When I listened to the tape again it was easy to understand
how Bob's statement could be interpreted that way, but it is not what he meant. When he said that "we have nine
months" he was trying to say that it would not come for nine months. In a visitation that Bob had last fall he was told
that this quake would not come before the next Day of Atonement. He was also told that each Day of Atonement
we would be told if we have another year, but he would only show us one year at a time. I must apologize for letting
this tape go out without correcting this potentially confusing statement.
Bob Jones and Jim Bakker both feel that the things we mentioned in the tape are very eminent, and I concur that the
emphasis of the Spirit seems to have changed from warning that unless we repent these things will happen, to
prepare for them, they are coming. However, I do not know of anyone who has been given a sure timing, and I
personally feel that we may have several more years, which is a short time! Regardless of how much time we may
have, we do not have any time to waste.
Do we think that it is time for believers to move out of Southern California?

Bob Jones has warned some people that it is time to leave Southern California. I have told people to seek the Lord
and leave only if He directs them to. However, I have been told that the time is soon coming when I will have to
begin telling people that they should only stay if they hear from the Lord to stay.
I also personally feel that I am to invest in some kind of retreat property in Southern California. I have been told that
I am not to abandon the area, and that I must be willing to spend time there doing what I can to help the church in
that region. Regardless of where we live, we are making a terrible mistake if we think that this is Southern
California's problem and not our problem too. If this happens it will be devastating to the whole world. We are all
also members of one body and this is the most important time for us to stand with the church in that region, and to
intercede for all of the people of Southern California. It is not God's desire for any to perish, but for all to be saved
and come to the knowledge of the truth.
The safest place in the world is in God's will, even if it is in the middle of a devastating earthquake. The most
dangerous place in the world is to be out of His will. If you live in Southern California and you leave out of God's
will, you will be in danger. Our Armageddon can come at the next stoplight! As we proceed into the times ahead it is
going to become increasingly dangerous to be even a little bit out of God's will. The Lord is now giving us ample
warning to hear from Him, and obey Him.
Do I believe that this quake can still be averted?

No. However, as I shared last New Years Eve, it is my conviction that the destructive power of this quake can be
greatly reduced, by repentance and intercession. He also showed me that it can be delayed if we will honor the
fathers and mothers of the faith from that region which have so powerfully blessed our nation. The commandment to
honor our fathers and mothers has the promise that if we do it our days will be long upon the earth. If we will
"unstop the wells of our spiritual fathers and mothers from that area dug" and continue to drink from them, it will
honor our them and the Lord will give us more time.
However, the Lord has often given us more time to get ready but we have rarely used the time well. Judgement is
about to come to Southern California because the spiritual pollution that is coming from there is poisoning the whole
earth. It is very close to reaching the limit of what can be tolerated. If a profound repentance does not come much of
the Los Angeles basin will be destroyed to the point where the ocean will lap at the base of the mountains in
Pasadena. The buildings in downtown Los Angeles will sink into the earth like stones in a jar of sand when it is
shaken.
Again, God does not want this to happen. He always prefers mercy over judgement, but there is a point when His
judgement will be mercy. When Abraham asked the Lord if He would spare Sodom if there were just ten righteous
men found there the Lord said that He would spare the whole place just for them. We do not know at what point
the Lord will relent and spare Los Angeles, but there is a delusion in much of the church now that is presuming on
God's grace. Some have been spiritualizing the prophecies, saying that the shaking that is coming is spiritual, and that
the water will cover Los Angeles speaks of coming revival. What I was shown was not a spiritual earthquake, and
the waters were the Pacific Ocean. However, if such a spiritual shaking did take place, and such a revival did come
to Los Angeles, the literal earthquake will still come, but its damage could be greatly reduced. I intend to pray for
mercy until the actual judgement comes.
Pride comes before the fall, and there is an arrogance toward the Lord that has even permeated much of the church
in Southern California. One way that this is manifested is the disregard of His warnings, which He sent in the
previous quake, and even the tendency to believe that they can handle them. No one will think that after the one that
is coming, even if its destructive power is reduced. Even at its lowest level, the fear of the Lord will pass across the
earth just as the tidal waves will that go out from it. Repentance and intercession can take a lot of the death and
destruction out of it, but it is still going to be a big one.
What about the corruption in Northern California, and many other cities of the world that have at least as
much evil in them as Los Angeles?
First, there are many cities and regions that are about to experience God's judgements. However, I do not believe
that the judgement coming to the Los Angeles area has as much to do with the degree of evil as it does the ability to
project it and send it around the world. No other city in our time has caused more people to stumble than Los
Angeles, mostly for what has come out of Hollywood. This will not continue much longer, either because of
repentance, or because of destruction.

The Last Wave

William Hawkins
Much of what follows is spoken directly to me, but is also for those who for whatever reasons fail and delay doing all they
are called to do by the Lord.
Several years ago the Lord called me to the office of prophet--at the time I did not even know what he was talking about,
and have shared this with only a few people since then. It has been a long and bumpy road full of disappointments and
rejection by friend and foe alike.
The Lord has said--now--is the time to step forth--I do this in faith as I do not feel any reason in the natural to do this now.
It is and must be God’s time to step forth..
During these past few weeks we have had a very powerful move of the Spirit in our church... I believe the Lord is calling
us to revival; but; for whatever reason’s our pastor does not feel it is time to jump into the river..
We have been wading in the river for months, being washed, cleansed and generally readied for swimming.. I know as do
most who will read this that before we can reach revival for others the Lord has to clean us up..
That time has come and passed!
The Lord then came in power to draw us in deeper, but we can advance corporately no farther than our leader--so we wait
and pray, when what the Lord is saying is to take the leap of faith and jump in---swim!!
Actually what he is saying to me is
"The first wave has passed! I have flowed the river through every place that lifts up my name in this land, because the
greater part of me is love and love begets mercy and grace, I will one more time flow the river through each place that lifts
up my name, I will offer them my presence, my glory, my love, and my power to witness, one more time..."
We no longer have the option of holding onto traditions and control. We must now let go and let God have his way. It is
time to follow hard after the Holy Spirit, reviving this land, drawing those that will hear to Jesus Christ..
The train is on the tracks, I can hear it coming and it is getting very near. Our job now is to get all the passengers we can
into the depot with tickets marked "paid in full "!
The Holy Spirit says "drop all things now that hinder and follow me"
I do not think I have ever heard better advice---
My prayer for you as you read this is that you will take these words before the Lord and seek discernment and
guidance..
God bless you:

William Hawkins

Lawlessness
Glenn Hall
Lawlessness: The Sign Of The Times

Did anyone watch the impeachment hearings today? Did anyone see Ken Starr's opening testimony?
Did anyone notice when Mr. Starr became most emotional? It was at the end, when he talked about
the American governmental system of law, judges, and courts. One of his poignant phrases was, "I
revere the law." (Oh that more Christians could and would say to God, "I revere Your law," as King
David did) Students of history know that the American model of justice is patterned directly upon the
Biblical model. Until recently the national and state laws were themselves patterned on Biblical law.
The Bible, for example, is where the Sabbath or "blue" laws and the many sex related laws originated.
Mr. Starr became so animated as he discussed the American law structure because he knows that
this nation and, indeed, the whole world, sits at a threshold or, we might say, a precipice. What lies
beyond that threshold and at the bottom of that precipice is LAWLESSNESS.
Lawlessness is the preeminent sign of our times. It is the precursor of the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. How do we know? Because the antichrist himself is called the man of lawlessness. There is no
reason to list for you the many outward signs of lawlessness. Ken Starr listed many examples that
were personally performed by the chief law enforcement officer of the United States during his six year
tenure as President.
Did you see the Democrat (President's) attorney cross-exam Mr. Starr? He asked almost no
questions dealing with the facts about what President Clinton did or did not do. Almost every question
dealt with decisions that Mr. Starr made. In other words, the Democrat attorney attempted to make
Starr the defendant versus President Clinton. This is a typical trick of defense attorneys and is
employed to turn a jury's attention away from the accused. It tends to diffuse the incriminating
evidence. It is clear, then, the Democrats do not attempt to know the truth; they attempt to hide it and
to thus deceive. God has given us this example of deception at the very highest levels of worldly
government as a testimony and sign of the times in which we live.
Please read the following Scripture and consider how it applies to these days in which we live:
(2 Th 2:1-12 NIV)
{1} Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we
ask you, brothers,
{2} not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter
supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come.
{3} Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion
occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
{4} He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
{5} Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
{6} And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper
time.
{7} For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it
back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
{8} And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the
breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
{9} The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed
in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
{10} and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because
they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
{11} For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
{12} and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted
in wickedness.
Verses 9 through 11 tells us that the coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with three
specific signs: 1) the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders;
2) every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love
the truth and so be saved; 3) For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will
believe the lie.
I believe that we witness sign number one in many of our own churches. Many Christians crave
spiritual experiences and, so, they forget to discern the spirit which breeds the experience. Both
leaders and their sheep fall into this deception for many reasons, including pride, insecurity, lust for
thrills, and outright intent to deceive. We allow demonic spirits to imitate manifestations of the Holy
Spirit and to invent new ones such as clucking like chickens and barking like dogs in the church
service. Sadly, many sincere Christians are not discerning these counterfeit miracles, signs, and
wonders. The fact is, however, these things are now occurring.
Second, the coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with every sort of evil that deceives those
who are perishing. The pleasure of sin somehow deceives those who give themselves to it. We live at
a time in which virtually every type of sin can be witnessed from your private computer monitor. Then, if
you desire, you can go out and do those things that you have witnessed, and many do. The Word of
God says that it is because people refuse to "love the truth" in order to be saved from this evil that they
will perish. Twenty two years ago I said to myself, "I've always heard the truth is in the Bible." So, I
bought a new Bible and read it until God revealed to me that He had written it and that it indeed held
the truth. I wanted to know the truth (loved the truth) and Jesus revealed Himself to me.
The people in mind in this Scripture are those who "refused" to love the truth. These are those that
love the lie. These are those that take up Bill Clinton's side of the argument. These are those that are
perishing. They refuse to love the truth. I am not now calling all Democrats unsaved and all
Republicans "saved." Some Republicans probably are pursuing President Clinton's impeachment for
purely political reasons. It is clear, though, that most Democrats deny the truth for only political, worldly
reasons. Remember, Bill Clinton is a sign to the world of lawlessness and the coming of the evil one
and the coming of Jesus Christ.
Third, because these people refuse to love the truth, God sends them a powerful delusion. What is this
delusion? I would suggest that the delusion is the "grace heresy." The grace heresy is the delusion
that men can be saved without loving the truth and without repentance by the limitless grace of God. It
denies the cross of Christ and denies the place of repentance in one's life.
The amazing thing is that the delusion affects Christians as well as non-Christians! Brethren, many
Christians live lives completely seduced by counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders and by every sort
of evil that deceives those who are perishing. Why are they seduced? Because they, like unbelievers,
refuse to love the truth. These are the Christians to whom, I suspect, the Lord will one day say, "I never
knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" See Matthew 7:23.
I present this little writing to you to exhort you to love the truth, to spend time in the Word of God, so
that you will know the truth and so that you will be saved from the terrible judgments about to fall upon
the whole earth.

Lend Me Your Ear;

Anne Youell
"Church, church, lend me your ear;

For I have something I want you to hear;
Revival is coming, I will not delay,
For those who are praying are preparing the way;
This work is not easy, and the laborers may seem few;
But revival is coming and it's coming through you.
I am calling you to attention,
For some have yet to catch my vision;
For this that I'm about to do
Reaches far beyond and many more than you;
But I need a people whose hearts can be so stretched,
That they will sacrifice themselves to help land the catch.
Yes the net has already been cast,
I've told you that before;
And the catch shall be so great,
No one can keep score.
Awake oh my people, hear and obey,
Revival is coming, and I will not delay.
All that I've promised, that will I do,
Revival is coming, and I'll do it through you."
This prophecy was given by Anne Youell at Oklahoma City

7 December 1997 and released to the Body of Christ through
Bill Cassada with Randy Clark and the Global Awakening Team
in Oklahoma City.
Anne Youell is the wife of Pastor John Youell, the pastor who
organised the Oklahoma City meetings (December 3 - 12).

[This article is taken from the Dreams and Visions mailing list.]
THE CHURCHES ARE ABOUT TO BIRTH THE END TIME APOSTOLIC MOVE/WORK OF GOD THAT, TOGETHER
WITH THE PROPHETS, IS GOING TO TAKE GOD'S PEOPLE TO THE HEIGHTS OF THE MOUNTAIN OF GOD AND
TO HEAVENLY JERUSALEM'S MANIFESTATION OF THE CHURCH/BRIDE OF CHRIST.
Very important and detailed instructions of God in a dream by Angela in April 1998 and interpretation by Paula M. Cavu.
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1998 from: BRASSTEC@aol.com
Testimony: I have been reading and have been blessed by your dreams and visions site and list for a year. I searched it
out shortly after I started having dreams that I felt were from God for the church. Although I have had prophetic dreams for
most of my life in the last year they have been coming more frequently and intensely. My Pastor has been particularly
supportive of this calling and I know that I am blessed in this way. Your online books, your list postings, and prayer for
the Holy Spirit's guidance, have helped me interpret most of the dreams God has given me, but I had one in April that is
so lengthy and involved that I am having problems. Any insight you or the other list members might have would be
appreciated as I am a novice in many of the things of the Spirit - although my heart's desire is to grow like Him and in
Him - to be His vessel. God Bless...
The Dream: The dream opened with my Husband and I walking into the sanctuary of a church. It was a large church that I
don't recall having been in before in real life. In my dream however, it was not unfamiliar but our "home" church.
· Angela, I will speculate here that you represent the prophetic and your husband the apostolic of the late 1990's. These
two will relate and work together like husband and wife. The language of this dream appears to me to have a message for
the Church in general or Christendom, although it may also have application to your local church if this seems credible.
We got there at the time for evening service to begin - but there were no lights on. In real life, my husband is minister of
music and worship leader, so it felt natural as he went in and turned on the lights. We were confused, wondering if
church had been canceled, but when we walked into the sanctuary - there were a number of people already there - sitting
in their pews waiting for the service to start!
· No lights on but people in pews - Unresponsiveness of individuals and therefore the Church to the light of the Holy
Spirit's direct presence, teaching and leading (Golden Candlestick). · Husband turned on the lights - A primary purpose
for God's end time apostolic and prophetic ministries. · We were confused - In being directly taught and led of the Spirit
prophetic and apostolic ministries will represent a revolutionary revelation revival movement that is not of status quo
Christianity. In this the prophets and apostles will have eyes to see God's light for their generation. In putting on the light
they will declare:
Eph 5:13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest
is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee
light.
The sanctuary was large enough to seat 700-800 but there was about 80 people scattered around the sanctuary. We
knew that they had been sitting in their pews in the dark waiting for service to begin. The amazing thing was that they
seemed to be totally unaware that we had turned on the lights - in fact they sat as zombies - totally oblivious to anything
that went on around them.
· Angela, there is a possible suggestion here that the time of the coming forth of God's end time prophets and apostles
will at the time of "the great falling away" (Only 80 out of 700 present, 2Thess 2: 3). · They seemed to be totally unaware
that we had turned on the lights - That is, total unresponsiveness to the light of God portraying spiritual sleep/death. ·
They sat as zombies - Inability to have life, enthusiasm and motivation in themselves which is the inability to hear God in
order to be personally taught and led of the Spirit. That is, they are in a mere worldly religious mode whereby they are
just followers of their leaders, devoid of the direct communion of God.
When we entered the sanctuary, I suddenly felt a need to freshen up before entering the service - so I left my husband
and went to the area behind the sanctuary - which in this church were SS classrooms and bathrooms. After brushing my
hair, applying lipstick, and washing my hands - I left the bathroom and walked down the back hallway. I could hear the
minister addressing the people and I knew that church had started.
· As representing God's prophets, this section of your dream portrays the life, freshness and enthusiasm of the prophets
in the churches.
At the end of the hallway was a large nursery. It was furnished and ready for babies, but there was no one there. At the
same instant, I looked up and coming in the door of the back hallway of the church was a line of pregnant women - they
looked at least 9 months pregnant, as though they could deliver at any moment.
· The pregnant women here represent churches within Christendom in which God has conceived and is about to birth a
new work of the Spirit. In agreement with what the prophets are saying, God is about to birth His end time ministry of the
apostles into the churches (they looked at least 9 months pregnant, as though they could deliver at any moment).
The pastor, I don't know how, since he was in the sanctuary and couldn't see into the back hallway, nevertheless, knew
they were there and welcomed them into the service. They seemed to be excited to be there and joyfully entered the
church service from the front of the sanctuary and sat down in the front pews.
· At the time of the great falling away, the message of the coming of the apostles will generally be received within
Christendom and the message or prophecies concerning them shall be made prominent (sat down in the front pews).
At that point, I decided to go around the outside of the building and come in from the back of the sanctuary, so I wouldn't
disturb worship. When I walked outside - it was a beautiful, starry night. The church we were in was on a hill, but as I
looked up there was a huge mountain that loomed behind the church. The mountain was so large that it filled the entire
horizon behind the church. It was beautiful and seemed to glow and shine in the bright starry night.
Exod 15:17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in THE MOUNTAIN OF THINE INHERITANCE, in the
place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have
established.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to A GREAT AND HIGH MOUNTAIN, and shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
On the very top of the mountain was a domed structure - huge and round or octagonal shaped (I'm not really sure which) -
made of beautiful, rich brown wood. I could see very little of the walls, but mostly the large roof - which seemed almost
like a tabernacle - with short walls and a huge roof. The roof went up in the middle into a point and mounted on that point
was a WINDMILL. It was turning and it too was made of beautiful dark wood.
· From Rev 21:10 above, we can assume that this dome like a tabernacle represents some aspect of Jerusalem city from
heaven. I would venture to say that this building structure explains the nature and ministry of the babies in the pregnant
churches that God is about to birth into the churches.
· The dome/tabernacle is round shaped - Round speaks of completeness suggesting that this end time work/move of God
will complete the plan of God for His Church. · Made of beautiful, rich brown wood - Wood here can speak of the
humanity of God's Church. That is, God's Church on earth and particularly as represented by God's end time prophets
and apostles. · I could see very little of the walls, but mostly the large roof - This aspect of God's heavenly church as
reflected on earth is emphasizing divine, heavenly revelation portrayed by the mostly large roof. This points to the
ministry of God's end time prophets and apostles ushering in a great time of enlightenment concerning the things of God.
· The wind mill of beautiful dark wood - Represents the sovereign presence and move/work of the Spirit in the churches
with regards to divine revelation and power through the prophets and apostles.
Just a short way down the mountain from the wooden building, but almost at the top also, was a small fair. It was the
kind that you see set-up overnight in parking lots. It had a ferris wheel and 2-3 other rides, it was brightly lit and seemed
to have laughing people riding the rides and having a good time. I didn't get the feeling that it was bad, but it seemed
almost garish and gaudy next to the awesomeness of the wooden structure.
· Perhaps the small fair represents a recent movement within Christendom that took the people some ways up the
mountain. The movement is characterized by a fair atmosphere, laughter and people having a good time. You didn't feel
that it was bad but rather "garish and gaudy next to the awesomeness of the wooden structure." That is, there is yet a
move/work of God that will take the churches right to the top of the mountain where the ministry of God's prophets and
apostles will form the foundation for the great manifestation of God's Church/Bride.
Although the top of the mountain seemed far away - I knew that it was really close because the structures on top
seemed so large and close that I could almost reach out and touch them.
· Although the vision/dream is of an aspect of heavenly Jerusalem, the reality of it reaches to the earth and is within
reach of God's called and chosen people.
As I stood there, the building with the windmill on top seemed to draw me. This sounds weird now, but in my dream it
seemed the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I knew somehow that it was full of precious and glorious things. I felt a
holiness and awe come over me and I fell on my knees in the parking lot and stayed there a long time - just drinking in
and worshipping. The most wonderful feeling came over me and a great desire. I knew that I had to go there. I wanted to
go there more than anything else I had ever wanted in my life.
· The building with the windmill on top seemed to draw me - The drawing of God to the prophets, apostles and the
churches of the late 1990's. · It was full of precious and glorious things:
Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his
calling, and what THE RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS,
Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working
of his mighty power
· I wanted to go there more than anything else I had ever wanted in my life - This drawing of God is all consuming and
complete giving us an idea of the kind of heart and desire that God is going to use in these last days.
When I finally went back into the church, the minister was telling the people that there were special things going on top
of the mountain and that they should go. The people still seemed like they were asleep and they were unresponsive. I
remember feeling surprised because I knew that this church had a reputation for being vibrant and alive. In fact,
somehow, I knew that in the past it had been a church full of life. In sharp contrast to the sleepiness I was now observing.
After a while, the minister too, seemed to fall into the lethargy of the people - even though he had started out with
enthusiasm and life - and the service ended on a down, dry note.
· In the days of the great falling away (in the past it had been a church full of life) church leaders will receive the message
of the prophets and apostles but unless they allow them to help minister in the churches, all will be vain. That is, the
answer to apostasy and spiritual sleep is in the prophets and apostles' ministry to quicken every individual Christian to
hear the Holy Spirit directly in order to be anointed, taught and led of the Lord. God is calling to every Christian and this
is why Christians all over the world and across denominations and groups are receiving dreams and visions from God
(Angela, note the circumstances of your dream).
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions
After the service, we were greeting people and found that a couple from my husband's church that he grew up in (in real
life) were visiting that night. We immediately invited them home to spend the night with us. At home ( which was the
same home we live in real life) we gave them our bedroom - so they would be comfortable. We tried to convince them that
our church had not always been this dead. All during the night, I kept having to return to my bedroom, to get items
(toothbrush, night gown, etc.) that I had forgotten to take when we moved from our bedroom to the guest room. This got
frustrating in my dream, because it seemed to go on almost all night.
· God's prophets and apostles are going to go out of their way to draw close to Christians (a couple from my husband's
church) in order to impart of their ministry and God's end time purpose to them. Spending the night and giving of your bed
speaks of the ministry of hearing God in dreams and visions of the night (Joseph/David prophetic movement). God's end
time prophets will be so acquainted with dreams and visions and will not be able to rest in God in the work of the ministry
without them.
The next morning, we found ourselves back in the church parking lot. It was a beautiful day - rather cool with clean air -
as you find in the mountains in the fall. There was a group of us - I don't know who specifically except my husband and
me. I was encouraging everyone to look at the mountain - especially the dome structure with the windmill. The attraction
was just as strong in the daylight as it had been the night before. I was encouraging the group to go to the top of the
mountain. I wanted to go more than anything. They didn't really want to go and kept giving excuses. Finally when they
ran out of other excuses they just said that they didn't know the way and we would probably just get lost anyway.
· Angela, it appears that the state of the churches during and after the apostasy will be such that only a few will have the
spirit to desire to go to the top of the mountain. The attitude of Christians with regards to hearing God and experiencing
His direct teaching and leading is going to be flat and dismissive in comparison to the different spirit, enthusiasm and
motivation of the prophets.
Then I turned and begged my husband - he said he didn't really know how to find it either - but he was willing to try. Then
he said that it would be easy to find if they turned the heat on. (In my dream, I knew he meant the heat in the domed
structure- so as water vapor rose from the warm building into the cold air - it would cause smoke to rise in the air and you
could follow the cloud of smoke up the mountain to the top!)
· At the encouragement of the prophets, the apostles are going to rise up and take leadership in the churches in order to
cause the people to climb to the top of the mountain of God. The apostles will realize that they and the people would
have to be totally reliant on the direct leading of God in the cloud of His Spirit.
As the dream ended, I knew that we were about to embark on a journey to the top.
· Glory to God that the churches are about to birth the end time apostolic move/work of God that, together with the
prophets, is going to take God's people to the heights of the mountain of God and to heavenly Jerusalem's manifestation
of the Church/Bride of Christ.
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last
plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Thank you Paula, for any help you or other list members can give. There are some things in the dream that seem obvious
to interpret, but somehow, I feel that this dream is of great importance to me and the church - perhaps just my local
fellowship or the church in general and I don't want to miss what the Spirit of God is saying.
Circumstances: By the way, this dream came in the night after my pastor called and asked my permission to share
another dream I had with the church. I was feeling very unworthy - not wanting to presume on the calling of God, but not
wanting to deny it either. I prayed and asked God to reveal to me if these dreams were really from HIM. I dreamed the
dream above that night.
God Bless you, Angela

Liberty! ---A Word For The Hispanic People

Teresa Seputis
Before I share this word, I have to share the Lord's instructions to me regarding it. He asked me "Teresa, what day is
today?"
"Tuesday," I replied.
"No, what day of the month is it?"
"The 4th, no the 5th."
"Go look on the calendar and see what today is." So I did. My calendar said Cinco de Mayo. I believe that is the Mexican
Independance Day.
Then the Lord told me to go write a word titled "Liberty".
I have never given a word for an ethnic or people group before. It did not even cross my mind to do that when I sat down in
obedience to write out this word. But this is what the Lord gave me, so this is what I have written...
Liberty
I am going to set the captives free.
Those who have been oppressed
shall walk in my liberty.
I am the God of the downcast, and I will lift them up.

I am the God of the oppressed and I will set them free.
I am the God of the hurting and I will bring healing.
Don't you know, haven't you heard...
I have poured out my spirit

... to preach the gospel to the poor
... to heal the broken-hearted
... to comfort those who mourn
... to set the captives free
for this is the day of my liberty.
Even now I have begun to pour my spirit in increased measure

on the hispanic people group.
I have ordained them to be carriers of my good news.
They shall be carriers of my love.
For I will bind up their wounds.

I will remit the injustices they have suffered;
no longer will they be downcast and insignificant;
for I have chosen to pour out my glory on them.
And the will go forth in my joy.
A grace and a gracefulness will come upon them.

I will bless them with an increased portion of my spirit.
There will be an ease with which they will be able to move
among different people groups.

For I will use them to reach many
for I desire those of all ethnic groups to see my goodness
... and to respond to me
... and to turn to me
... and to allow me the heal them.
I will pour out my spirit on all flesh..

on all people groups..
I will call them to me.
And at this time I am infusing my hispanic children

with my spirit and with my liberty.
A freedom from oppression shall come over them
bondages shall be broken off of them
and they will dance for joy before me.
And then I will use them to free others
from the bondage of the evil one
and they will bring my truth
and my liberty
and my healing
to the oppressed and downcast of many nations and of many people groups.
For on this day of independence I am pouring out my spirit

and my liberty
and my anointing
and my empowerment
and my victory
on these people to make them overcomers in me.
They shall overcome the evil one

and they shall set others free.
For I the Lord have spoken it.

Life's Best Lessons

Sherry Mackey
October 25, 1998: I saw in the Spirit a person trying to tear up a book. On closer observation, I recognized that the book
was the story of the individuals history. The person was trying very hard to rip the cover but could not tear the book at all.
Hear what your Father says: Many of you have come through life's best lessons. You have been seasoned through trial
and prepared for My purposes. All of your history was written in the volume of My book. Why do you loathe your very life?
Why do you wish to hide the lessons of your past. I have spoken that I would take all of your mistakes and turn them
around for My honor and glory. You are who you are and I accept you for who you are. Did you receive Me as the result
of any works or previous good behaviors? Or did you receive Me by hearing the Gospel and believing it? You have
suffered so many things in the past, and suffered much as you matured in Me. Are you now trying to reach perfection by
depending on your flesh? I pursued you and loved you even before you called My name. I met you in your valley of
decision, and I received you just as you were. Why now, do you doubt My love for you. I have loved you with an
everlasting love, and through loving kindness I led you to repentance. Why are you ashamed of who you are? These
influences that have caused shame are not from Me, says your God. Would I give you a task and not give you the
equipment? Part of your equipment is the life experiences that have graduated you to a position of reality, not theory.
You lived real life, therefore you minister with "real life." For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free
from the law of sin and death. For I did what the law could not do, because it was weakened by the flesh of man. No
matter how hard man tries to live up to the laws requirements, it cannot be done. That is why I became flesh and dwelt
among men, the perfect Son of man sent to be the sacrificial offering for all sin. I deprived sin of all its power to whoever
accepts My sacrifice. Be not ashamed of your history but rejoice that I have given you keys to release captives. Captives
whose locks need your key or your experience to release them. For you overcome darkness by My blood and by the
word of your testimony. You have killed the lion and the bear what are these uncircumcised Philistines!
Rouse yourselves! I will move on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place. Your beginnings will seem humble and
even embarrassing, but your latter years will be full of blessings. Your humble beginnings shall be used to carry many
sons into My kingdom. Ask of the former generations, if they will be honest, you will find out what their fathers learned.
For all things work together for good to those who love Me and are called according to My purposes. Can the rush grow
without the mire? You feel like your stuck in the mud? You're growing!
As for those influences that disturb your faith, this evil persuasion is not from Me who called you to freedom. I made the
way for you to come boldly into My throne room of Grace through a living way, My flesh. Except that, receive that, apply
that. You are no more righteous than you were when I saved you, unless you are "self righteous." As for the charges and
condemnations against you, whose servant are you? Who dares to criticize another mans servant? It is up to Me whether
that servant stands or falls, and I will make them stand says the Lord! There are those who search out your faults and
probe after your sins. Shall not the candle of the Lord see all things and illuminate the issue. Who are you to censure
another man's servant. Watch dogs have made you their target, prepare for gnashing of teeth. I will fill your mouths with
laughter and your lips with shouts of joy! Your enemies will be clothed with shame and they will eat the fruit of their own
lips says your God.

There are not enough Lifeboats!

Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies on 27th Sept., 1998. As with all prophetic
words, these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where Bible
passages are referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the interpretation of
the passage, but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
In Job 33:14 the Bible says: "For God does speak - now one way , now another - though man may
not perceive it." (emphasis mine).
While listening to a sermon in church, the Lord began speaking to me about the film of the year -
Titanic, and what it meant to the Church at large. The Spirit drew together things He had been saying
to me for many months, and gave me understanding of the bigger picture, with the clear word:
"There are not enough lifeboats!"
The Lord is about to sink (by increasing the water of His Spirit) the worldly structures we have taken
as a base of security, in the world and in the Church. The problem is that the church doesn't have
enough lifeboats in place, and our losses will be great if this situation continues.
The Lord gave me to understand that the lifeboats were structures put in place before a disaster to
enable people to survive. The disaster will be the Revival that many of us are seeking so earnestly.
The increase of the Spirit that accompanies Revival will accomplish wonders, but we will lose many
opportunities if we have not trained our people to be ready, and provided a framework in our
congregations that will cope with rapid growth. In our churches, the lifeboats are reorganised
structures and policies that will allow the people of God to overcome the disaster. We must put aside
our pride in our heritage, and our preferences for certain ways of doing things, and especially seek
the Lord for His ways and not assume that we already know.
Introduction
God often speaks through events in the World, and significant events often have a spiritual
significance beyond what we see with our earthly eyes. The movie Titanic has broken many records in
the last year, and has captured the minds of the Western world with the tale of the fateful trip.
Documentaries abound on TV about the search for the wreck, and the continuing exploration, as well
as the many unanswered questions people have about the disaster.
In the spiritual, the warnings of the Titanic disaster are just as relevant today as they were in 1912, and
we have apparently learned little. It is therefore, important that we understand what the Titanic
represented.
The Titanic and the Church
The Titanic and the events surrounding its fateful voyage are a type of the church today. Consider the
following:
* The Titanic was the largest liner, a floating palace of luxury with the latest technology,and was
claimed to be unsinkable.
- The church today is the largest it has been throughout history, the richest and most well-resourced of
any period in history, and is so large worldwide that many Christians find it unthinkable that any real
threat to Christianity exists.
*Captain Smith was more interested in getting the speed record for an ocean crossing of the Atlantic
than in the safety of his vessel, because of his arrogant assumption that the ship was unsinkable.
- The church is full of self-promoting ministries more concerned with their ability to keep ministering
than with the real needs of those they are ministering to. This leads to a competitive spirit between
ministries rather than a willingness to listen to the Spirit of God and respond to changing
circumstances.
* The ship was filled with a cross-section of the rich and famous, and on the surface, was the grandest
thing afloat. Yet this was only for First-Class passengers. The vast majority of those aboard were kept
below decks, and forbidden to participate in the activities on the Upper Decks. When the ship began
to sink, these were even locked below, so that the more important people could get to the lifeboats
first.
- The ministry of the church is supposed to be the ministry of the whole body, not just the paid Pastors.
But few who have not "jumped through the hoops" of acceptance into ministry get a chance to
minister. How often have you heard a non-ordained but anointed person from your own fellowship
preaching on Sunday? It may not be their full-time role but in larger churches especially there are sure
to be many who the Lord has anointed, but who are not Pastors, so they are never considered. It is the
utmost arrogance to insist that only those trained in seminaries will be able to preach effectively.
Similarly, in many churches it is the Pastors and the Ministry Team who are the only ones allowed to
participate in praying for the sick, or giving prophetic words publicly, or getting revelation on what the
Lord wants to do next. Few ever ask if anyone in the pews has a Word from God (though it is slowly
starting to happen in some places). Far more significant is the exclusion of most of the congregation
from prayer ministry (discussed in detail below), as this is a direct violation of the Lord's instructions to
the Apostles in Matt 10:7,8 and Matt 28:20, and robs most of the church from participating in doing
the works of the Kingdom. Truly, the "lower classes" are locked below decks.
* The Titanic ignored the warnings of icebergs ahead and continued to sail full steam into the danger
zone.
- The church has been ignoring Prophetic warnings for over 20 years, and still prefers to argue
whether something is God or not rather than take steps to prepare for the future.
* The Titanic lookouts were not supplied with binoculars to increase their ability to see ahead. If they
had been, the ship would have been able to turn aside in time.
- The church has mostly silenced Prophetic ministries and found excuses not to listen to them, rather
than sift through the Words (and the errors) for what the Lord was saying. They have denied their
Watchmen the ability to give effective warning.
* The rudder was too small to turn a ship of that size in the time required.
- the church is unable to respond quickly to anything, since most congregations are run, or heavily
influenced by several committees with differing political or theological views. Also, we have hampered
ourselves with our particular "policies" that do not allow us to easily make exceptions to suit new
situations.
* Instead of taking the hit head-on, when it was clearly too late to turn away, the Titanic turned, and
ripped open its sides. Engineers claim that the ship would have survived a head-on impact at full-
speed.
- the church has a problem in accepting responsibility for its actions, and its mistakes. When we finally
realise God is serious about our sins, that is, when His judgment has begun (1 Peter 4:17), we try to
turn aside, rather than repent and face the music. This causes more damage to our credibility and
makes the restoration process that much harder (eg. Priests being exposed as molesters/adulterers).
Consider the difference in attitudes to sin expressed by 1. Jimmy Swaggart and 2. Jimmy Bakker.
Both were publicly shamed, but their responses were very different.
* Finally, after the impact, it was realised that there were not enough lifeboats. Due to cost-cutting and
the arrogance of the builders, and their desire to keep messy-looking lifeboats off the First-Class
decks, there were only enough boat seats for under half of the total complement of the ship.
- Jesus told us to count the cost. Sometimes, this means taking unpopular decisions and going out on
a limb when there seems no reason to do so, other than the Lord seems to demand it. The Word the
Lord gave me very clearly was: there are not enough lifeboats.
The End of an Era
There is a theory, debated hotly by Theologians, that the first 3 chapters of the book of Revelation,
where Jesus speaks to the seven churches, equate to seven major periods of Church history.
Although exceptions can be found to almost every rule in the History of the Church, I believe the
general spirit of each time period is outlined in these passages. Many preachers in the last 20 years
have seen increasing parallels between the Laodicean Church and our own.
What concerns us here is the last two passages, concerning the church in Philadelphia (Rev 3:7-13),
and the Church in Laodicea (Rev 3:14-22). The Philadelphian Church is the Evangelistic Church,
representing the time period from about 1650 - 1900 A.D. The church exploded around the world in
an unprecedented period of evangelistic fervour ("I have placed before you an open door that no one
can shut" Rev 3:8), which resulted in conversions in nearly all countries around the world. Great deeds
and sacrifices were accomplished in the Name of Christ, and missionary heroes from that era have
been role models for every succeeding generation.
The biggest single contributor to this outreach was England, through the worldwide reach of the British
Empire, as they worked out the God-given favour to take the gospel to the nations. However, by 1900,
the pride and arrogance that accompanied the spread of Empire had begun to destroy much of that
which had been sown, and the Lord was about to take His blessing off England and give it elsewhere.
The Titanic sinking was the symbol in the natural of the collapse of the British anointing, and, in the
natural, it has been downhill ever since.
The Titanic was the greatest ship built, unsinkable, built as a floating palace with incredible luxury and
speed. Yet all the trimmings were on the surface - the bulk of the passengers (providing the bulk of the
money to run the ship) travelled in crowded accommodations below decks, denied the luxury and
privilege of the First Class upper crust.The pride in the ship was shown to be just as shallow, and the
confidence placed in man's knowledge and ability, stated in the famous remark "not even God
Himself could sink this ship", reflected the shallowness of the "civilisation" throughout the Empire. The
sheer stupidity of not providing enough lifeboats, not providing binoculars for lookouts, having too
small a rudder, etcetera, etcetera, can only be wondered at, and the tragic loss mourned. It really did
signify the end of an era, and it is plain to see that the lead in Christian Evangelism in the 20th century
passed to America, just as the survivors of the Titanic did.
Yet the message to the church is the same today. We have learned little from the disaster, and if we
don't take urgent steps to rectify the problems we will find that WE don't have enough lifeboats, and
our losses will be tragic.
The Legacy of all
The Laodicean church is the Materialistic church, who are "lukewarm", and about to be "spit ... out of
my (Jesus') mouth" (Rev 3:16). The tragedy of the Laodicean age is that we have for too long thought
that it was wealth that made us Laodicean. In reality, the key is in Rev 3: 17: "You do not realise...". It is
our lack of understanding that makes us lukewarm. We have not understood that the last church
carries the legacy of all the preceding churches, and we will have to overcome all of the hangups they
had, by overcoming our own pride which prevents us from seeing ourselves as we really are. Like the
lack of binoculars for the lookouts on the Titanic, which would have given time to miss the iceberg, we
have not given place and care to the Prophetic Ministry, and the Lord cautions us in Rev 3:18 to buy a
"salve for your eyes so you can see".
Many today are given to a confidence in the World which simply cannot be relied upon - the 1987
stock market crash gave clear warning of this, as does the recent financial crisis in Asia, yet many are
confidently explaining that 1929, and 1987, cannot happen again. The church, however, seems to
have no answers in preparing for the financial crises which many Prophetic voices are predicting -
most are so concerned with meeting their monthly budgets, they have no resources left over to put
away for a crisis. Businesses are not heeding the warnings about the "Year 2000 bug", which could
potentially destroy Western society, the Banks are increasing fees and charges almost daily, yet more
and more people are getting further and further into debt.
Churches are being rent apart by controlling "Jezebel Spirits" (Rev 2:20 - Thyatira), by compromise
with the World (Rev 2:14-15 - Pergamum), by persecution (Rev 2:10 - Smyrna), and by Death (Rev
3:1), yet even the recent moves of the Spirit around the World during the 80's and 90's have made
little impact. In fact, many of us have "lost" the lessons of the 80's in the thrills of the move of the 90's.
We are not, in Western countries, seeing large-scale revival (though there are pockets), and the level
of power operating in our churches and ministries is less than it was years ago.
Into this scenario comes the movie Titanic, with the warnings it brings, and we must be careful not to
let our Laodicean assumptions, or our Philadelphian pride, prevent us from hearing the warnings and
acting accordingly.
The Lessons of the Third Wave
I find it very hard to recognise that most of those who were in Renewal in the 80's have not continued
in the basic principles that were taught at that time, and have replaced them with other methods, that
are not as effective, and do not have the same priority goals. The Third Wave movement in the 80's
and early 90's, spearheaded by the ministry of John Wimber, was primarily about one thing - teaching
the average Christian to "do the stuff". This was the ministry they were commanded to do by Jesus
when they went out (Luke 9, Matthew 10). Preach the gospel, heal the sick, drive out demons. He
commanded the Apostles to "teach them to obey everything I commanded you" (Matthew 28:18). This
means quite clearly that every Christian is to be taught to do the basic ministry - praying for others.
When Wimber taught this to his church in 1984, they grew by 100 people in three months, as the
people had the faith and experience to offer to pray for people's needs, and many were converted as
the Lord answered prayer. The average Christian is like the average soldier - the real work is done by
privates.
I find it disturbing that so many Churches have discarded this model for a specialised "ministry team",
which excludes the rest of the body from growing in faith by exercising the gifts regularly. This has
been popularised by the actions taken at the Toronto Airport Church to deal with the huge number of
unknowns they were hosting, and unfortunately, many churches have copied their practise (the right
response to a unique situation), and made it a part of their congregational practise. It is justified as
preventing damage being done to people by immature or deliberately malicious pray-ers, but is
basically an attempt to control the situation, rather than allow the Lord to control, and Pastor mistakes
as they arise. Immature people make messes, but they will never learn if they aren't allowed to make
messes (Prov 14:4), and God does permit ungodly people to minister (eg. Judas).
In situations where I have had personal experience of Witches trying to pray for people in our
meetings, they were quickly identified and reported and dealt with by the leaders. Satan has got the
church so scared of his ability to interfere with God's people that we have no faith that the Lord will
protect and guide His people. This is not to say that we have an "anything goes" mentality, but the
responsibility of Pastors and Teachers is to allow the People to have a go, and then deal gently and
with wisdom with mistakes as they arise, not to stifle and control the opportunities so that nothing bad
can happen. Part of the difficulty is that we read the Bible through Western eyes - in the Eastern world
teaching is a process of instruction, modelling, assisting students to have a go, and then letting them
do it and dealing with errors as they arise. This is clearly how the Lord trained the Disciples in His
years on Earth. We, however, tend to think that a sermon or two is enough, and the rest can happen in
home groups, but this is rarely enough. If it is enough, why are our churches not effectively out in the
streets doing the work of the kingdom in power?
The defences for a specialised group doing the praying are many, but they all come down to one thing
- the body as a whole is not being empowered, and they are therefore not taking the ministry out of the
doors onto the streets. We are not providing a safe environment for Christians to have a go, and as a
result, they don't, and we cannot therefore claim to be adequately preparing them for ministry.
If revival is going to come, it has to leave the doors of the church. It does seem a little silly to make
such a fuss about preparing for Revival, growing in holiness for revival, praying for revival and so on,
when many of our people lack the basic teaching in the fundamentals of gospel ministry, and are
prevented from gaining personal experience in their home congregations.
Taking back what he Stole - building lifeboats!
In essence, we have allowed Satan to convince us to disarm ourselves. All he had to do was send a
few crazies into our congregations, maybe a few witches, and we react to the fear of pollution by trying
to protect and control the situation so that this cannot happen. Thus, we react to Fear spirits by
allowing Control spirits a doorway into our churches, and remove the weapons from the hands of our
soldiers.
Many have compared Faith to a muscle - it needs to be exercised regularly. If we don't provide our
soldiers with the chance to exercise their faith by involving them in ministry in church, they will never
suddenly develop this skill when it is needed outside the church building. Soldiers learn to shoot
before they go into battle. If they don't know how to use the weapon they won't - they will hide, and
avoid the conflict.
Satan has also deceived us about Spiritual Warfare, by many teachings that lead us to fight from our
prayer rooms, yelling at spiritual beings in the heavenlies, instead of actually accomplishing anything
by doing the work of the Kingdom (which we can't because we never get to practise). Whilst there is a
measure of success in these techniques, they are inherently unBiblical - they are inferred from dubious
interpretations of passages and not directly mentioned in Scripture. That they have any effect is
possibly more to do with God's Grace than any affirmation of the technique. We are told that what we
bind on earth will be bound in heaven (Matt 16:19, 18:18). We don't bind in heaven. Like any soldiers,
we fight the enemy in the territory he is disputing. We do Spiritual Warfare by doing damage to the
effects of Satan's power on earth.
How did Jesus model this? By proclaiming "the Kingdom of heaven is here", and by doing the work of
His Father (ie.the work of the Kingdom) - healing the sick, cleansing lepers, raising the dead and
casting out demons. He then commanded this to be taught to all Christians. If Satan has hurt people
by disease, hurt, etc, we take that back by ministering healing and compassion. When the unsaved
see this - they will have a reason to listen to our preaching - Wimber called it Power Evangelism.
If we are not teaching this to all those under our pastoral care we are in great danger of ignoring a
basic command of the Son, and that will have serious consequences. We must carefully examine our
practices, our hearts and our assumptions in the light of the ministry of Jesus revealed in the Gospels,
which Paul did not specifically mention as most of his letters were written in response to specific
situations that had arisen. we are supposed to be ministering as Jesus did, and doing "greater works
than these", but we have modelled too much of our church life, and our reading of the Gospels, on
assumptions we have made about Paul's teachings, rather than viewing his works from the revelation
in the Gospels - we have it backwards!
Finally, and most importantly, we must seek the Lord for specific revelation concerning His plans for
our churches, to determine which changes should be made immediately, and which brought in slowly.
Most important is timing, as I believe strongly that we have little time to prepare before the Next Wave
hits the Church. We cannot ignore the warning of the Titanic any longer.

Lift Your Vision Higher

Catherine Brown
Three times today, the Lord has given me a vision. The Lord showed me the high places. Upon the mountains and hills,
He was showing me demonic lookouts, posted over the nations to spy out the land. The Lord then said "Lift your eyes
child" and as I looked up I could see there were many eagles and upon the back of the eagles, were the saints and they
were soaring higher and higher. They were dressed in white linen, which represented the righteousness of Christ.
The Lord said, "Look down child" and I looked to the ground and I could see there were people everywhere. Many of them
slain in the Spirit and there were ministering angels all around and they were taking their swords and were removing
double mindedness from the Lord's people. And the Lord said "Catherine, when My people call down My fire, they call
down my holiness and my sanctification. And I am doing a work of holiness and sanctification in My people. It must first
begin in their hearts, before I can pour out My holiness upon the nations"
And I could see that as each of the Lord's people was ministered to, they were then able to begin to climb the mountain.
Once they took the first few steps onto the mountain, an eagle was dispatched for each one of the saints and they
climbed on the eagle and went soaring on his wings.
Then the Lord told me to look higher again and I could see that the saints were riding high upon the eagle's wings. Far
higher than any demonic lookouts. And the Lord said "Just as the world is becoming increasing blind, so shall I bring
greater vision to My people and they will speak into the nations, for I am raising a council, my council. I am appointing
and calling watchmen to the walls. I am releasing a cluster anointing upon My people for I am a tri-generational God, the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and in these days I am raising a generation of radical Jacobs. When My people learn
to work with the anointing upon each generation, to move as one generation, then shall I pour out My new wine"
And I knew that the Lord had new wine, which He wanted to pour out. I could see there were many of His people who
were trying to be filled with new wine, whilst still wearing old wineskins. I could see them puff up before my eyes and they
were becoming drunk and slovenly. They were not fit to hold the new wine and they were being consumed by it. The new
wineskin is one, which will come from the cluster anointing. We must go into this as one Body.
And I could see that the Lord was sending the wind from the 4 corners of the Earth and it was bringing with it a cleansing
and a purging. It was bringing with it many angels. And the Lord was speaking again to His people and He was saying,
"Lift your vision higher, lift your vision higher, for I have given you the mind of Christ and for all those who hear the call to
be watchmen, I shall place them upon the wall. I will hear every earnest heart that cries to Me to be a watchmen and I
will plant them on the wall".

You Will Be Like A Nehemiah

Ada Arnold
Here is a word I received during my intercessory prayer time, I found it appropriate and hope that it is a word of
encouragement to His people.
This task I ask is not an easy one, but it is one that I ask of all My children.
You will be like a Nehemiah, building the wall with one hand and fighting, and guarding with the other. The difference is
this time you will be building from the inside out. Renewing the spirit of My people.
The world wants to prove that they have no need of destroying us for we are destroying ourselves. This is one Satan is
fighting very hard on! It is going to be an even tougher battle than it is now. But I say, BE STRONG! You must show them
that you believe what you speak, that through Christ you can do all things. It is my desire that you stand together. That
you start building each other up, for the time is short. The power that the world denies is the heart of Christianity. It is My
heart, a heart of love, and yet heartbroken. When will you learn My children? Draw near to Me and I will draw near to you.
I will show you how! I saw it, I walked it, I lived it. Read My words, remind yourselves.
Then he took me to these scriptures:
Hebrews 2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. His own special people, that
you may proclaim the praises of Him, who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
My people can not do this if they try to stand alone, the time for unity is even more pressing now. God wants us to
worship Him, honor Him, thank Him, walk with Him and trust that He is God and he'll do what he says. We must love one
another back to wholeness. We must do this now while we have the time. Isn't it bad enough battling Satan, let alone
trying to battle against your own. We must choose now one way or another, to stand alone or unified!
1 Peter 2:15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish
men.
1 Peter 2:17 HONOR ALL PEOPLE. LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD. FEAR GOD. HONOR THE KING.
Jude 24, 25 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the
presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty,
Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen

Persecution Like Never Before:

Thomas Gibson
Thus says the Lord, hear the word, know the word. I am the word, says the Lord, I am the word. Hear the word, know the
word. Believe the word, understand the word. Go with the word of the Living God.
Hear not the words of man, for they are strange unto Me, and they are evil. For the word of God is the only true Holy
Word. Here that word and understand that word.
There is a time coming soon when you shall see prophecies that have been told, and heard, and repeated, from time and
times past; they shall come upon you, and you shall see them come to pass. There shall be hard times in this earth,
great and hard times. For there shall be great times in My Spirit as revival like never before breaks out, and I shall move
heaven and earth, and My people shall walk like they have never walked, together, in the Spirit of God. There shall be
miracles like never before.
But at this time, there shall rise up a persecution like never before. My prophets that have prophesied in My Name shall
be persecuted. They shall be persecuted, and they shall be put in jail, and they shall be done to by the evil one, and they
shall be treated harshly for My Names sake. They shall be killed for My Names sake. They shall be turned aside, not
treated nicely, but thrown away, pushed aside, not dealt with nicely by the world. But rather they shall be dealt with
harshly by the world.
There is a great price to pay for the prophets that I have called! A great price to pay! A great price to pay! And so it shall
be in the days to come.
There shall come a time when there is no word of the Living God to hold back the work of the devil. For My people shall
be persecuted, and chased from one end of this earth to the other. And no they shall not be able to own houses, or
places to do business in a normal way. There shall be persecution like there has never been before. These days are
coming.
Let those who have trusted in My Name, have looked upon Me, have been true to the word of God: they have nothing to
fear. Those who repent and turn to Me have nothing to fear. For I am with you even unto the end of the world.
For until My coming there shall be great persecution. It is just barely beginning in this earth. But it is coming, and as it
comes, it shall come slowly at times. Sometimes with a ferocity, and a quickness in certain ways. And sometimes it will
come slowly. It will not be all at once.
You'll see suddenness in this way: there will come a persecution against you, almost out of nowhere. Suddenly they
shall be rising up and saying, "who is this person, and what have they said. They are telling lies and deceiving. It is them
that are causing so much trouble."
And like Nazi Germany who persecuted the Jews for no real reason at all, so this shall be in this day, they shall rise
against My Christians, and they shall persecute them for no really reason at all.
Make no mistake, I am with you unto the end of the world. I am with you unto the end of the world.
Be not dismayed at this word. For if you will put your faith in the power of God, I'll bring you through. Like Daniel was
brought to the lions den, I will bring you through. But if you put your faith in the things of men, you will fall and fall hard.
But if you repent then, I will raise you back up again.
So put your faith in Me. Keep putting it in the word of the Living God. I'll be with you. And like Daniel sat in the midst of
the lions, so that you shall sit in the midst of persecution AND NOT BE HARMED!
For this is the will of the Lord, that they will rise up against you and be unable to harm you for the power of God that shall
be upon you! And it shall be a sign unto them, and unto the world, THAT GREAT IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL, great is the
God of the universe, great is the God of ALL CREATION! Nothing shall be harmed that He says is protected.
The power of God shall reign over all. You have no concept of the miracles, the powers that shall be attained in the Spirit
at that time.
But put your faith in Me and you shall walk in it, says the Lord, you shall walk in it.
Thomas S. Gibson

Mountains Melt Like Wax

Received this on 12-22-94 - submitting in light of article by Snyders
The mountains of sin and shame are laid waste in His presence.
The mountains of grief, depression and sorrow and hurt are laid waste by the JOY He's pouring out!
The mountains of anxiety, fears, and mental torments are leveled by His PEACE poured out in us.
The mountains of anger, rage, hatred, prejudice, rebellion and rejection are melted away by His love poured out in us.
This is why we shake in His presence; the mountains shake in His presence.
He is shaking off oppression, lies, doubts and insecurities.

He is shining His glory on us and in us that it might radiate outward to the church and the LOST.
THIS IS NOT A PHASE ! This IS the purifying of the BRIDE!!!
THIS is the WIND of HOLINESS !!!....that comes before the mightiness of the KINGDOM of GOD;
wind that will blow across the nations and bring in the end-times harvest of souls before His coming.
THERE IS AN AWESOME TASK BEFORE US !!!
REMOVE the roadblocks. Push away the stones that block the way.
PRAY !!!! cease not from prayer !

IT IS IN THE ONE-ANOTHERS that revival is born now !!!!!
Don't look for the hard ways !

Don't look for the old and tried ways.
Wait on me on me and I will direct you in the path you will take.
CEASE FROM STRIVING.
Be Mary, not Martha.
Sit at My feet and listen.

THE LILY
by Bob Neuman
Dear Friends, The past two weeks I have had time to spend with the LORD because my expensive computer refused to
run. after much time and aggravation it is working for a short time. while I was delivered from these distractions I was
given a great gift which I pass on to you.
THE LILY - THE VISION
In the middle of the night I had a vision. I saw a 'man' standing in "emptiness". There was no background. No directional
lighting was distinguished. And when I approached to an arms length HE stretched out His Hand and I "heard" this
word.... "BEHOLD..."
In His Hand was a Lily. I saw it, but His Hand was not touching the flower. It was hanging suspended in the air. The
"Man" was cloaked and hooded and I had the impression of being 'Attired for travel'. And of His Hand, I could just see the
fingers extended beyond the cloak. Yet my spirit rejoiced for I "knew" that Hand that 'caressed' the flower.
So my eyes slowly moved from My Master's Hand to this flower. A Beautiful Lily suspended before me in time and
space. And it had a luminescent glow as it reflected My Master's Glory.
At first glance it was truly a beautiful flower. A single open bloom on a straight, simple stem. Every leaf and every petal
was perfect. Simple symmetry obedient to the Divine Pattern placed in a "Seed." Each leaf gave testimony to the
Creator's Wisdom as veins lay in pattern in submission to His Will. The Trumpet stood open white and pure. Yet it was
not a "True" white each petal was ribbed. At the edge of each petal the white only could be seen, but as you followed
each rib back to the root of each petal, there was vivid living color. Some ribs were definitely violet while others were
lavender and lilac. Some petals were in shades of red from scarlet to crimson. And some were blue, from cyan to cobalt.
At the very center of the Trumpet all these colors merged and from that intersection the Lily's internal structures arose,
golden and living in His light.
And I reached out to the flower and barely stroked the petals with the tips of my fingers. And a sense of "fragility" flooded
me. The tenderness and vulnerability overwhelmed me. Yet His peace and His presence was also there. And I found
myself pulling away from the flower. Such a precious and beautiful thing could be only soiled and bruised by "human"
hands.
And again in my spirit I heard, "Behold!"
I watched the Lily and nothing seemed to happen, and as I watched and waited a faint delicate scent filled my spirit.
Slowly I began to take long deep breaths, pulling the "perfume" deep into my spirit. And the awareness that I had
"smelled" this before.
"Behold, My Bride" He whispered in a flood of pure 'Agape' impossible to describe. Immediately everything in and of me
was wrenched and riveted upon My Master. Once again I looked upon the Glorious One. My King, My Captain, My
Beloved. In His right hand was a rod of glistening black metal, that sent a freezing chill through me. Never before had I
seen the "Rod of Iron". And the chill only increased as I heard a slow laugh escape his smiling lips.
Now I realized the fragrance of the Lily completely saturated my spirit. With a slight gesture of His open left hand my
eyes were drawn once again to where the Lily had been, suspended in time and space. But now knelt a young woman
incased in the same material the My Master's Robe was made.
It was the purest white, but like the flower the Holy colors of the Tabernacle flowed "inward". And like the flower the
sense of delicacy and purity knelt before me. She was clothed in many sheer layers that covered her entire body. Her
face was covered by a number of veils.
While the fragrance was pervasive, I suddenly become aware of the silence all around me. And slowly I lifted my eyes to
His face and marveled. The broad and radiant smile was replaced by s solid grin that was mirrored in the laughter in His
eyes. And with regal gesture He brought His left hand to His Heart and swept it down toward His Bride.
There was no great revelation here. I have known her a very long time it seems. "Daughter of Zion", I spoke and she lifted
her face to me. Through the veils all I could see were her eyes. And yes, they were His eyes. One and the same. And
with the grace of a ballerina she lifted her arms to me and I helped her to her feet. And once she stood she placed her
head on my chest and just held me.
To go any farther is difficult. She was so tiny and so vulnerable. Yet the familiarity was there. And I looked again to the
King of Glory as He stood quietly.
"Little Sister", I spoke clearly. And as she stepped back and looked up into my face her hands once again in mine.
"Behold your Bridegroom." As she turned toward Him He opened His arms and they embraced.
While she seemed so tiny to me, she seemed taller in His arms. Don't ask me to explain. I could stop here, but this was
how the vision would have ended if it had been up to me. But it wasn't and it isn't.
The next thing I noticed was that I was in a vast field. I guess it was a wheat field. The wheat was obviously ready to
harvest because the heads were heavy and bending over. But I also noticed the weeds among the wheat. The sense of
time has run out; came through my mind. In the area just before my eyes there was the Lily among the wheat and the
tares. The flower's trumpet was almost half-open and the color was clearly evident.
And the realization became clear that the King must be coming within the hour. And then I heard His Voice.
"What you do on My behalf you will do in the face of your enemy. But what you do for yourself will be for My Father's
eyes only. Let your giving, your prayers, your fasting be hidden from the eyes of man lest your reward be here and now
and not eternal."
Once again I looked at the single lily.
"Behold My Bride, and I have clothed Her in My righteousness. As the grass and the grain have but a short season, so
has My Bride awaited Her Season."
"But watch now and bear witness to what men do."
And suddenly I saw many hands reach for the Lily just as the Trumpet opened fully. And with seething anger I watched
them pull off the leaves and paint the stem. I watched the petals receive brush stroke after brush stroke and suddenly
there it was.
A Gilded Lily.
The paint looked like gold, but there was no scent. The fragile beauty was covered by hard, cold, lifeless paint. What was
a unique treasure that bore testimony to the Loving Hand of a Creator God was now replaced by a faux substitute. And I
wondered, "why?" The handiwork of God improved upon by "man"?
And my spirit spoke "Times and Seasons." There is a time and season to every purpose under heaven. And the
realization hit me that man can not accept the Divine Order of things. So by "Gilding the Lily" they substituted to insure
longevity because they do not understand eternity. Nor do they understand God. For they failed to see His Hand and His
perfection. So they can not seek His Kingdom. And they refuse His righteousness and create an alternative.
"Consider the lilies of the field." spoke the Most Holy Spirit, "how they grow..." The Lily/Bride is a sovereign work of a
living and Holy God. It grows free and independent of the wheat and the tares. "They toil not, nor do they spin..." because
ABBA has chosen they shall be. By His Word, by His Will, by His Grace and His Glory.
"Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." No, not even old Solomon understood God. The wisest,
wealthiest, most powerful man who ever lived missed God and said that all was vanity. Yet it was in his writings all this
seems to hinge on and around. And once again I stood in the field and looked at the Lily surrounded by the wheat and
tares. Darkness had fallen and the flower was completely open. And in my spirit I heard. "I AM THE LILY OF THE
VALLEYS, I AM THE ROSE OF SHARON."
"As the lily among the thorns, so is My Love among the daughters." As I turned toward the voice of my Master I began to
laugh. In armor and prepared for battle. As I began to drop to my knees before Him, He grabbed my shoulders and lifted
me off my feet. Holding me at arms length He laughed. And slowly pulled me into His embrace. The unmistakable sound
of metal grating against metal was heard under His laughter.
As we separated we turned again toward the Lily. And I watched as the Mighty Lion of the Tribe of Judah reached down
and plucked the Lily. And once again there was the Bride and the field was now the Throne Room and before me was
ABBA sitting upon the Throne of Heaven. As I bowed before Him he made a quick gesture and I stepped to His side. At
His right hand stood the Bridegroom and His Beloved for whom He paid a great price. But now she stood shoulder to
shoulder with My King dressed in shimmering gold.
I sat down at His feet and with His left hand ABBA touched my head. As I looked into the eyes of the Ancient of Days,
all that I had witnessed churned in my spirit.
"Son, in one act of love and obedience two precious things occurred. Mankind was redeemed and a Bride was
purchased."
Once again I saw the Two Edged Sword in my mind.
"Yes son, Images and patterns within sequences for any who has eyes to see, and ears to hear. All you need do is to
ask."
As ABBA turned toward His Son and the Bride I snapped out of the eternal and back to the now.
Even as I write this I ponder what I saw and how it will play out in the days ahead. So I leave it in the hands and hearts of
all who may read this. I will hold my interpretations for those who will ask. But I offer two important points of advice.
Don't mix metaphors. Do not combine images to force a pattern.
And distinguish between dialogue and narration.
May you be blessed

Love, for the Day Is Near

Denis Paquette
Romans 13:8-14
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his
fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not
steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love
your neighbor as yourself." Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And
do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because
our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let
us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not
in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather
clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful
nature.
Introduction
More and more prophetic words talk about impending judgement in North America. In one word by Bob Jones and
Rick Joyner, they talk about an increase of these judgements by the end of 1998. Because of the urgency of these
times, I have decided to share my experiences of what I saw happen when the Toronto Blessing hit Ontario. I now
live in Surrey, BC and lived in Edmonton, Alberta when the outpouring started in December 1993. This is also a
part of my testimony that I felt had relevance in the writing of this word. Through my experiences, I believe the Lord
has brought me to a place where I am able to help others though this transition by simply making them aware of
what is to be expected and what is required. The Lord gave me Romans 13:8-14 this past Friday during our
churches Friday morning prayer time. The Lord has given me many words and dreams over the past few years
which in themselves felt incomplete and sometimes cryptic. Those words and dreams have however brought me to
the place where this word is simply the pieces falling together in a way that is practical.
The return of the Prodigal Son

In the late summer of 1992, I had contacted an old friend that I had not talked to for about a year. We lived about 4
hours apart and I was working for a time about an hour away from where he lived. He lived in the Barrie area, I
lived in the Sarnia area and I was working in Toronto. At this point, I had not gone to church for about 1 year and I
was disillusioned about churches in general. I was seeking something more, but I didn’t know how to find it. I had
accepted the Lord into my life when I was 16, received the baptism of the Holy Spirit when I was 19 and I was 32
at this point. One thing about my experiences was that although my life changed radically from where I was before
each experience, I still behaved with deeds of darkness.
My friend had been in a Vineyard church for over a year now and had even tried to get me to go to a Vineyard in
our area the year prior. The only thing was that the service we went to, 2 missionaries from Russia were speaking on
Adultery. Although I had many sins, adultery was not one of them. Somehow the service didn’t speak to my friends
or myself, so I wrote off the Vineyard in our area.
Now when I called him this time around, he told me he was leading a home group and invited me to visit him on the
night he would have it. Since I had nothing better to do and I wanted to visit him anyway, I decided to go. I found
that the people in his group were open and honest and did not put on masks as I had often found in churches in
general. I liked this. I was not really a person that had learned to put on a mask and quite frankly, I hated when
anyone else tried to do the same. I saw something there that I wanted.
I invited my friend and his family to visit us once again. He decided that after the disappointment the last time we
visited the Vineyard in our area, that we could go to the church I was going to. I hadn’t told him that I had stopped
going to church and I didn’t really want to tell him. To cover my tracks, I suggested that we revisit the Vineyard for
another try. We did. The message was on something that spoke to my wife. I felt as if I had found home.
For several weeks, I would work and stay during the week about an hour away from my friends and would visit his
home group during the week. On weekends, I would go to my new church with my family. I was becoming more
and more excited with the Lord. One Sunday, the associate pastor spoke on his secret sin of the past and spoke of
the how much impact it had on his life when he came clean. This was a message I needed to hear. During the week I
thought to myself that I needed to make an appointment with this pastor and confess my sins. During lunch hour, I
was conversing with the Lord and I felt him suggest that I should do my confession with my friend at home group. I
agreed.
That night during dinner with my friend, I told him what the Lord suggested and he said that he would arrange a time,
near the end of the meeting, for the two of us to go aside so that I could do this. He asked if his brother could be
there as well. I did my confession that night and came clean. They prayed over me and I felt clean. You could really
tell that this was the Lords divine appointment. For one thing, my job ended in that area the very next day. For
another, several years earlier, I was at a David Wilkerson meeting with this very same friend, when an altar call
came for those with sexual sins to come forward. I felt the tug to go forward, but was afraid of my friend finding out
that I had these problems. Well he found out much more than that on this night. On that night, my friend said that the
Prodigal has returned home.
Experiencing the Holy Spirit in a new way

Up to this point, I knew about the gift of tongues, but had almost no exposure to the prophetic. Not that it never
happened before this time, but certainly not in any way that I could categorize it. I began to meet people who had
the prophetic gifting, including the pastor that gave that inspiring message. My wife and I would receive words from
others and we saw the prophetic affect others.
The church had a library of tapes that could be borrowed and I had begun a new job about an hour from home. I
would listen to these tapes during the travel and was being well fed, spiritually speaking. There were tapes by John
Wimber, Paul Cain, Mike Bickle, Jack Deere and the list goes on. I was learning about church principles like I never
had before. It was so good to learn these things and I felt like I was in training. My pastor said that he saw me like a
small bird with my mouth constantly open for more food. It was a good description. I remember at home group one
time saying that I was praying to the Lord to: "Do what you got to do to get me where you want me to go." I
remember my home group leader looking at me with a bit of surprise. She laughed and jokingly said that it was a
very dangerous prayer to pray. It didn’t take me long to figure that one out.
There was a conference in Hamilton, Ontario in May 1993 with Paul Cain, Jack Deere, Mahesh Chavda and Mike
Bickle. I went to it. It was great! There was a word that Paul Cain had for Dennis Wiedrick about a major change
was going to happen to him and his ministry. When he was looking at Dennis, he was looking in the same direction
as I was sitting. I had felt only seconds before this word that he was going to give a word to me. My name is Denis
and I received this word as well. I didn’t have a ministry, but I did expect major changes to happen. It was during
this conference that my wife announced to me that she was indeed pregnant. We felt the Lord tell us that we were to
have a son and to name him Joshua Daniel. We did and we did. On the 1st of July, I moved to Edmonton, Alberta
to start a new job.
Be careful where your eyes are

While I was in Sarnia, I had met someone who was prophetic and ministered to those who were in Alcoholics
Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. He was an AA member and his sponsor when he joined in 1975 was my
brother in law in Montreal. That was where I am from and I found it amazing how small the world was. This man
was my mentor on the prophetic. He was so on fire about how the Lord used him that he put everything into helping
these people. After I got to know him though, I began to see some things that concerned me. For one thing, I
noticed he liked to receive credit for the things he did. One time he took all the credit for something that I had a part
in. He liked to hang around those who were needy and although he said he would go to Hamilton with me, he went
with someone who was having problems instead. He even forsook time with his wife to help these needy people. He
would talk about his supernatural experiences with the Lord a lot.
I have to confess though, that although these things hurt me, I had the same seed in me. After all, I wanted credit, but
the real credit belonged to the Lord. I wanted supernatural experiences and had some myself and loved to talk
about them. And the others were just waiting to surface too. It was an object lesson for me and the Lord wanted me
to learn something from it. It was about loving those who hurt you. About confessing your own weaknesses. And
about wanting God for the right reason.
One time, he asked me to make a tape for him with some songs on it, so I did. He suggested that I fill the balance of
the tape with any songs I wanted. I remember asking the Lord what to put on it and I put 4 marriage songs on the
tape. I remember crying while listening to these songs. One song was by Steeve and Annie Chapman about a pastor
who would go out to his flock and one time his wife kissed him goodbye in a way that cause him to turn around and
go back to her. One verse was "She’s the one who need’s the shepherd most of all". I didn’t understand at the time
what I was doing, but I had told both him and his wife that I felt the Lord had given me the songs. He didn’t witness
to it, but several months later, she left him. I was so sad when I found out everything that happened. I learned an
important lesson. It was a lesson about looking after what he has charged us with and it was about loving the person
of God, not his gifts.
The Toronto Blessing happens

I heard about this outpouring at the Toronto Airport Vineyard a few months after it first started. It was about March
1994. I was living in Edmonton and I was going through a dry time. You see we were trying to sell our house in the
Sarnia area and it was still not sold. My wife and I were apart from July 1, 1993 to the end of November. She came
to Edmonton to have our son who was born on December 14th. My wife went back to Sarnia near the end of
February because a water pipe froze and broke under our house and once again tried to sell the house. I was so
disillusioned by this time and then the Lord decides to pour out his Holy Spirit in Toronto and I’m stuck in
Edmonton. Before this experience, I was under the false presumption that everything goes well when you follow the
Lord. Guess I believed that trials were a thing of the past.
Around April or May I went back east to visit my family and check out Toronto Airport. The meetings were still
small at that time and I was in the 2nd row from the front. Well I got blessed big time. It was refreshing and once
again I began to feel the fathers love. As most do, I spent some "floor time" there.
Back in Edmonton, I would call home as well as friends to get an update of what was happening. I was told about
one time my daughter and a few other girls were doing some floor time at Sarnia Vineyard. They were crying and
the leader of the meeting explained that they were interceding in the spirit for the lost. My old home group leader
said she would go to Toronto and get blasted and refreshed. A couple years later, her unbelieving husband went to
Toronto and he gave his life to the Lord. I heard so many positive reports. The only question I had was, "Lord, why
did you take me away from this?"
When the Lord shows up, it’s not always bliss

Before December 1993, you could tell the Lord was up to something. He called me back a little over a year prior.
There was an increase of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He was bringing up the importance of confession over and over
again. I did my confession. I heard others doing the same. It was a time of reckoning. Then the Lord moved. So
many were blessed, but that isn’t the whole story.
My prophetic friend I was talking about earlier lost his wife. His ministry that was, wasn’t any longer. I remember
one lady talking about struggling with her needs as a woman before and left the church and lived with a man after.
Another woman had another woman move in with her and began a lesbian relationship.
These are some of the negative side effects of the Lord showing up. Last fall the Lord answered me as to why he
took me away from the Toronto Blessing. He said I would have been one of the casualties. That was quite a shock.
After all, didn’t I confess to everything? Well yes, at the time I did. But confession and repentance are two different
things. Some of the sins I confessed, I went right back into when I moved to Edmonton. It wasn’t until about two
and a half years ago that I had a deeper understanding of God’s Love and counterfeit love. The Holy Spirit used
John White to help me with that one.
Sometimes we believe that when the Lord shows up, it will be like watching fireworks in the sky. We think we will
be able to watch it at a distance and enjoy its beauty. But when the Lord shows up the fireworks are going off at
point blank range. The fire will burn the chaff, if we have any, and it will be much more painful then if we deal with it
now. If we are unprepared we may run to get away from the fire, but we will still have been burnt.
I must add one thing at this point. Just because people have been taken out, like the ones I have described here,
doesn’t mean that they have been taken out for good. I was a prodigal and now they are, and like the father in the
parable of the prodigal son, we must watch and pray for the day of their return.
How does this all tie into Romans 13:8-14

In the last year, the Lord has turned up the heat. He is looking for a people that are willing to both confess and
repent of their sin. He is looking for a people that are willing to be humbled when they want so much to "do" when
he is asking them to "be" (Luke 10:38-42). He is warning us to get our hearts right so that when he comes, we will
not be taken out. He is looking for those who will be harvesters and they need to be clean. They need to settle their
accounts. They need to bring to light what they are hiding in darkness. They need to have God’s Love and not the
counterfeit one.
I see the same things happening here that were the precursor of the Toronto Blessing. For instance, in our home
group for the past several months, it has been said over and over again, that we need to get right with the Lord and
confess our sins.
The Lord is going to show up here very soon. Are we ready? Am I ready this time? He is looking for harvesters all
over the world. He will touch everywhere when the time is right, but the exhortation and warning must go out first.
The exhortation is Romans 13:8-14. The warning is what can happen as described in this article. We need to settle
our accounts and we need to do it now. When he shows up, will you or I be caught unprepared? Lets Love each
other and help each other and help each other as in Phil 2:3-4 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but
in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to
the interests of others." Five years ago, I didn’t understand the importance of all of this, but now I have seen what
can happen.
Once he has chosen his harvesters, then the harvest will begin and even that time is getting very close. He is giving us
time to get right, but the time is running out. Please, please, please take heed.

Love Judges the United States

A Prophetic Message for the Church
by Philip Hardcastle
On April 30, 1998, God spoke very clearly to me the following:
"I am going to devastate the United States and one-third of its population will be no more. I will
devastate her to bring repentance to the Church and to stop the evil progression of the government and
the country, who are wise in their own eyes and arrogant in their hearts."
"I am not going to tell you now exactly when this will happen, but it will happen sooner than you would
like to think. There is no formula for following Me or for the survival of those I want to survive. Each
person should seek Me for themselves and obey all that I say."
"Don't fear for your own safety during this time, but preach boldly to all who will listen the things that I
tell you and about following Me wholeheartedly."
As I began to seek God regarding what it was that He wanted me to say, a substantial amount of new revelation
was given to me, along with the understanding that much of the previous revelation I had been pondering for a long
time was part of the same picture. The following article is an overview of the message God has given me.
PREFACE
Most people have asked the question, "how can a God who is Love allow bad things to happen to people?" but few
have dared to take this question beyond the idea of a God who only "allows" to entertaining the idea that God would
at times intentionally inflict pain on the people of His affection. Can we even fathom God, who is Love, also being an
inflicter of pain, without it being a contradiction to us?
Somehow this idea seems a little easier to accept when we distance ourselves from it. For example, we can so easily
read of the judgments of the children of Israel in the Old Testament and say to ourselves, "why didn't they just do
what God said? It seems so clear! Could they not see that God loved them and had their good in mind? They were
so stubborn! God didn't want to crush them. All He wanted was their hearts so that they could be truly blessed both
spiritually and physically and so that His power and glory could be made manifest to the rest of the world through
His people who were set apart for Him."
Yes, distancing ourselves to an earlier generation, to a people we don't know, somewhat helps us see things from
God's perspective, in which He places a higher value on the spiritual condition of man than the physical condition of
man and in which He views life in relationship to eternity versus our limited comprehension. But, can we continue to
see even a small part of God's perspective when it is we ourselves who are being chastened?
Is it possible that we, like the children of Israel, don't realize how hardened our hearts have become and are
spending too much of our time and effort attempting to preserve the well-being of our flesh at the expense of the
well-being of our spirit? Could it be that we as a high-tech, ever learning, problem solving, invincible society are
close to gaining the whole world, but losing our own soul? Would a loving God, who is able to see the whole of
eternity, allow us to continue or would He, like a good father, make adjustments which would insure that our hearts
are right?
Most everyone reading this would surely agree with me that Jesus is the example we should model our lives after,
but do we realize that Isa. 53:10 says that, "the Lord was pleased to crush Him?" And Heb. 5:8 says that, "He
learned obedience from the things He suffered." Could it be that God is about to bring suffering on a whole
generation of people in order that they might learn obedience and become the spotless bride for whom Christ will
return?
What you are about to read describes some of the aspects of our loving God's coming judgment on the United
States. Although it paints a bleak picture for the future of our physical comfort and safety, the message I am most
trying to convey is that, like the children of Israel, God is after our hearts and the sooner we yield to Him and allow
Him to change us, both individually and as a nation, the better off we will be. He is, after all, the same God who
judged the children of Israel for their own good, the God who has our best interests at heart, and the God who is
always Love (not the God who is sometimes Love). It is Love who is initiating this judgment and Love who will
carry it out.
Nevertheless, we are still left with the apparent contradictions of Love and pain, and Love and judgment. And while
these are theological issues which extend far beyond the scope of this message, I raise them because I believe that
they are two of the major issues which are poised to converge with history, offending our theology and exposing our
greatest fears. So, as you read and particularly to the extent that you find yourself becoming fearful or your theology
of God offended, I encourage you to press beyond these issues and to draw close to Him. He is the only one who
can embrace you in a manner in which you are convinced of His love and that He is good. He is the only one who
can satisfy your deficit of understanding and remove the offense from your mind. And He is the only one who can
overwhelm your fears with a peace which surpasses all comprehension.
INTRODUCTION
The first section is primarily dedicated to stating as clearly as possible prophecies regarding the near future of the
United States. Although some of it is written exactly as I received it from God, much of it represents a very careful
and prayerful articulation of the revelation and understanding I have gained from being used to live out an ongoing
prophetic drama, which has been something similar to some of the Old Testament prophets whose lives mirrored or
dramatized the things God was about to do.
The second section is primarily a commentary, which I have included in an effort to bring some understanding to
both the prophesies in the first section and to the time in which we are living.
These prophesies can only be understood in light of at least three separate types of events which will occur in
America within the near future: institutional breakdown, natural disasters and war within our shores. Although God
has not spoken to me conclusively, my sense is that I am describing the next twenty years and that God sees this
time frame as a single season, even if there appears to be respites along the way.
What follows gives no details of the events themselves, nor does it tell the story from beginning to end. It instead
focuses on various effects and outcomes of these events, often jumping abruptly from one subject to another.
PROPHESIES
THE PREVAILING CHARACTERISTICS
The prevailing characteristics throughout this season of judgment will be turmoil, disaster and devastation, and they
will hit America with such relentless force that life as we know it will never be the same.
Disasters in our country will be like the continuous eroding of the shore by the pounding of the waves, with an
occasional exceptionally violent set that brings increased intensity, size and damage. Although natural disasters have
already begun to increase in frequency, they will continue to do so throughout this period, along with other types of
disasters.
Turmoil, like a massive tidal wave, will twice engulf the nation as a whole, but will come many more times to
individual areas of the country.
Devastation will arrive like an intense and prolonged blizzard, but it will not be a passing Northern. It will be a
simultaneous Pacific and Atlantic that will settle in on us for a considerable length of time and will press us hard on
every side. The initial devastation will be so great that it will set our country back 40 years and its relentless nature
will prevent us from making any forward movement or progress for ten years.
Millions of Americans will die as a result of the turmoil, disaster and devastation.
THE PAPER FORTRESS CRUMBLES

There will be a day when both individuals and businesses will see years worth of work and equity disappear
overnight, and the wealth of the nation will be gone in a day. Our nation's wealth will be like an uninsured building
that suffers a major foundation failure during an earthquake. It may be left standing for some time, with much effort
expended in attempts to save it, but it will soon be obvious that it is beyond repair and will be allowed to fall. History
will record its fall as being the first day of the devastation.
After a brief lull, a panicked frenzy will jam communications as people try to salvage what they can. Those holding
paper, stock certificates, bonds, mutual funds and the like will find that the paper they hold is near worthless and
businesses will not be able to collect their accounts receivable. Whether real or paper, most tangible assets that were
considered valuable yesterday will be of little worth on that day.
Those in authority will call for calm, reassuring us that everyone will get paid and urging us to be patient, saying, "it's
going to take some time to work things out." For many months hope will be held out with optimistic promises, like a
carrot on a stick, but only a few small token disbursements will ever be made. Those in debt will find tremendous
pressure put on them to pay what they owe and those who have extended credit and who hold paper will strive to
collect in vain.
All of those who were surety or debtors will find themselves entangled in a grievous situation. Instead of the huge
"massage line" of the present credit system, in which everyone massages the shoulders of another, those in line will
have a desperate strangle hold on those who owe them money or who are responsible for their paper, while those
who they owe hold them in kind.
It would be wise not to be in this line when that day comes. Even if you choose to let go of the one who owes you,
the one whom you owe may not let go of you. The conduct in this line will range from sympathetic to violent, but
what will be common to all is the difficulty of getting out of the line.
After many months most will realize that because of the massive devaluation that has taken place, there is little or
nothing to collect, and they will write off much of the past, although some will refuse to abandon their attempts to
collect.
BREATHLESS
There will be a day in America when no man or woman will work. Fear and terror will grip the heart of the nation,
with men both big and small cowering in their homes, afraid to go outside. This paralysis will last for several days.
Then, slowly, men and women will steel themselves and begin to go back to work in an effort to find some
semblance of normalcy, only to find that nothing is normal anymore. Many will have no job, and unemployment will
far surpass that of the Great Depression. Those who do still have a job will often work for a small percentage of
what they were formerly paid and without knowing how or when they will get paid. Many will never be fully
compensated.
A second fear, a panicked fear, will closely follow and will bleed the nation as the reality of food shortages and little
means of survival sets in. This will lead to a period of great suffering and hideous and widespread acts of violence as
desperate people do desperate things in an effort to survive.
THE IDOLS FALL

Although many in this country proclaim Jesus as their provider, few really know Jesus as their provision. We've
trusted in our jobs, businesses, and retirement plans, but this season of judgment will reveal the extent to which we
have turned to worshipping and trusting in these things in place of Jesus. As the works of our flesh are destroyed,
God will let us see where our trust really lies.
"Every man is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His
images are a fraud; they have no breath in them. They are worthless, the objects of mockery;
when their judgment comes, they will perish. He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for
He is the Maker of all things, including the tribe of his inheritance - the Lord Almighty is His
name" Jer. 51:17-19.
"...Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me? I will expose your
righteousness and works, and they will not benefit you. When you cry out for help, let your
collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them
away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain"
Isa. 57:11-13.
Many will realize that they are without defense before God and will repent for having trusted in their wealth and their
idols and will cry out for and receive God's mercy. But others will "rage against the Lord as their own folly ruins
their life" Prv. 19:3.
THE EXODUS
Many people will find themselves leaving everything they've worked for and fleeing to another city or to another part
of the country for safety. Businesses, jobs, homes, friends and family will all be abandoned as one's own survival
becomes an overriding force. In many cases the flight to safety and providing for basic accommodations upon arrival
will consume all of one's resources. Many will find themselves in a safe place but with no job, nothing of value left to
sell and no money in which to do business. A cruel and vain hope that they can soon go back and at least salvage or
sell what they had will create a temporary but false sense of security. However, for most, it will soon become
obvious that all has been lost, never to be regained.
GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?

There is a day coming in America when out of sheer desperation and necessity two or three families will all live
together in one house. What was once considered a single family home will now house a dozen people. Most
everything will be shared and meals will be modest at best. At times one family will have the means to purchase
some food and at times it will be the other. But it will require the means of all involved to maintain just one
household. This season will last eleven years from the first day of devastation.
LIFE IN THE NEW THIRD WORLD

Entertainment will no longer be following national sports, a night at the movies, attending a concert or watching some
highly promoted event. It will be what is created out of one's own relationships or the play or concert that happens
to be found in the neighborhood or streets.
Meals will be basic staples at best and much of what we eat today will be considered an extravagant treat. An
infrequent trip to a cheap restaurant will be considered a luxury and a meal at a nice restaurant will be reserved for
the very few who are wealthy.
Adequate medical and dental care will often be inaccessible and its self-pay nature will prohibit most from seeking
treatment until conditions are serious.
Government assistance, in any area, will be minimal and rudimentary at best.
For several long years getting ahead will not even be an option as simply surviving will be the triumph of the day.
Few economic opportunities will present themselves.
What would normally be a 30 - minute commute to a potential job will be taxing at best and unfeasible at worst.
Recreational travel will rarely even be a consideration as a family trip to a city 200 miles away will have the same
financial impact as traveling across the country does today.
Wages will plummet as individuals will quickly become willing to work all day just to put some food on their family's
table. For the nation as a whole disposable income will be gone and having enough left over to invest will be
reserved for only a few.
Our fashion consciousness will disappear as we will feel blessed to have just one decent looking outfit for each
season. New clothing will be purchased only out of necessity and even then, being able to purchase a relatively
cheaper set of used clothing which is in good condition will be much preferable and considered quite a find.
It is difficult for our western minds to comprehend the hardships, fears, anxieties and pressures that our nation will
face during this time: the heartache of seeing a lifetime of work, savings and security disappear; the frustration of
spending all day to accomplish a task which was formerly completed in less than an hour; the vulnerability, fear and
anxiety that is inherent in having inadequate or no means; the hopelessness that comes from seeing opportunities, but
being prohibited by circumstances to pursue them; the pressure that is felt in having to choose whether to use the
family's only money to purchase the necessary groceries or to take a sick child to the doctor, knowing that there is
no money to pay for additional treatment and no visible possibility of earning more income or attaining more food;
the dread that is felt as winter sets in, there is no money and the children have worn out all of their warm clothes; the
devastation that comes from those previously seemingly insignificant clauses in our contracts and insurance policies
that state, "payable on demand," or "except for acts of God," or "except for acts of war;" the helplessness we will
feel as we watch our loved ones deteriorate from sicknesses which were, under previous circumstances, easily
treatable; the grieving we will feel as our children are being called into war, knowing that the odds of them returning
are not good; and the overwhelming despair we will feel from the combination of all of these and other
circumstances for which we will have no ability to change.
We will be a broken nation, humbled, fragile and without adequate means in every area of life, both individually and
as a whole. In many ways, life in America will be like living in a third world country.
THE MUTINY
There is a day coming in America when a large number of people in the Church will be rudely awakened to the
realization that they are ill equipped to survive these times. As the pressures for which they are so ill equipped
increase, they will become angry at those who have been in authority, thus fueling a period of great strife and
confusion in the Church, which will be in addition to all of the pressures that we are experiencing within the rest of
the nation.
During this period, events within the Church will mirror the fall of communism during the late 80's and we will witness
a monumental transformation. Many of the current religious institutions, their governmental structures and leadership
will be completely rejected and dismantled while new and previously unknown leaders are catapulted to the
forefront to address the issues of the day. While some of what is existing may survive, none will be untouched or
unchanged and the Church will emerge looking and functioning completely differently than it does today.
In some cases the change will be as swift and as brutal as the turnover in Romania in 1989, in which its leaders were
ousted, tried, executed and a new government took charge in a matter of days. In other cases, it will more resemble
the changes in the former Soviet Union, which required a combination of time and several tense and dramatic events
to produce substantial change.
Many key issues and characteristics of this transformation of Christianity will also mirror those that precipitated the
fall of communism. For example, this will be seen as a people's movement, an uprising which will terrify much of the
current leadership. Although it will, in many ways, seem lawless and out of control in comparison to the accepted
conduct within the church today, it will have been initiated by the Spirit of God.
Those leaders who have oppressed or controlled the masses for their own benefit, security and comfort while
convincing the people that it was good, righteous, godly and for the sake of unity will be ousted, along with the fear
of man, which discouraged individuals from thinking, asking legitimate questions and expressing their own opinions.
The stymied atmosphere which didn't allow for individual growth and development unless one bought into the "party
line" will be trampled with a vengeance and a thousand hypocrisies will fall by the wayside as each individual seeks
his own salvation. Individual liberty will not be given to the people; it will be forcibly taken by the people.
Great confusion will engulf the masses of the church as a plethora of both new and old would-be leaders tout their
own answers, with both good and evil finding platform. With the masses no longer having the stomach for the
portions that they had been used to, they will dine on a variety of new menus in an effort to find the true Bread of
Life. Great fear, insecurity, temptation, confusion and desperation will mark the lives of those whose faith is not
completely grounded in Christ and many will be led astray.
In the absence of the restraints which had been inherent in the "party structure," each individual will find themselves
accountable only to God and freely responsible for his or her own calling and growth. This will release massive
diversity within the body of Christ as desperate men and women seek God and take responsibility for their own
lives. Giftings and callings that we, in this day, have not even imagined or have not been able to recognize will begin
to surface as individuals are abandoned to and begin to cultivate the seed of expression that has been buried within
them, misunderstood or rejected.
The sheer difficulty of survival combined with the awesome fear of God that will come as a result of this judgment on
our nation will harness much of what first found expression as apparent lawlessness into a unity in Christ that no man
could orchestrate, a unity where Christ is the head.
THE WALLS COME DOWN

Just as the Berlin Wall came down, so will the walls of the Church come down during this time. Just as the walls fell
that separated the "believers" (of the East) from the "unbelievers" (of the West), exposing a powerless, bankrupt and
ineffective ideology which had portrayed an illusion of effectiveness, righteousness and strength, so will they fall from
the Church.
No longer will the Church be associated with particular buildings or denominations; the kingdom of God will find
expansion in hearts and homes and proceed into the streets of the neighborhood and revolve around daily life. Small
but highly mobile and effective home churches will be prevalent. Although there will continue to be corporate
meetings and large gatherings, they will not be organized as we would think of today, nor will there always be a
name or a group attached.
Great evangelistic expressions will be the norm during this time, but these will not be promoted events. Instead, the
curious, the hungry, the sick and the lost will attend because they have heard that God shows up with an abundance
of power for all who come. Discipleship will no longer be a class that is taken to increase one's knowledge, but a life
that is valued, embraced and transformed. The new Church will be less organized, at least by man's standards, and
more relational. The fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control -
will stand in stark contrast to both the circumstances and the typical response of the day. By the end of this time, the
world will know we are Christians by our love.
A HEART ISSUE
God's purpose for this judgment is not to see us destroyed, but to change the heart of our nation so that we turn to
Him. There are many national issues that have brought on this judgment, but they are all issues in which we stand
contrary to God despite our understanding, traditions or best efforts. When there is sufficient repentance He will
relent, but until then, He so loves us that He will take us through this time so that we as a nation will acknowledge
Him.
Our Father will complete the work that He began in us, but it is imperative for us to understand that His highest
priority is to insure that our hearts are right towards Him. If accomplishing this requires offending our thinking or
destroying everything that we've built, He is committed to doing whatever it takes. His desire though, is that we
would "not suffer His wrath, but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ" I Thes. 5:9.
God wants us to abide with Him. God's heart is that we would voluntarily submit to Him today, leaving nothing off-
limits, so that He can expose in us and help us to abandon our fleshly works. He desires that we save our lives in
Him, but this requires that we seek to lose our lives in Him.
If we will submit ourselves to Him, He will purify our hearts and give us the faith and understanding that we will need
to survive these times. If we will do this, He will build for us and help us to produce fruit now that will not be burned
up. He will get to the core of our hearts during this time, one way or another, but the length and the severity of the
process is our choice. Beyond the heart issues, God wants us to be a part of Him and what He's doing. He desires
to position us on farms, in cities, in schools, in every strategic position necessary to implement His purposes. He
desires to mature us to the point that we will be able to speak peace where there is no peace, life where there is no
life, provision where there is no provision and to speak health where there is no health. He desires to position His
Joseph's so that they will be able to provide not only for their own households but for both the physical and spiritual
salvation of our nation as a whole. God is wanting to physically position us, but the prerequisite to physical
positioning is allowing Him to first position our hearts.
Although judgment has already begun in the Church, many have still not recognized that their continuing frustrations
and lack of positional release are part of this judgment and stem from His great love for us and His desire to change
our hearts before He changes our outward circumstances. These have not sufficiently waited on God to gain the
understanding that we all will need to be totally yielded to Him and thus are left in a fruitless fight of pursuing their
own understanding, which is contrary to God's.
THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD

God is calling many to something new and different, something which seems unwise, if not foolish today, but which
will play a pivotal role in the days to come. For many, responding will cause them to be misunderstood and even
mocked by their friends and family, but God is in the process of positioning His foolish Noahs throughout the nation
so that in the days to come the wise will be confounded.
Some have already recognized this prompting and are beginning to respond, but for many others it is only a seed
within their spirit which they have overlooked or ignored. Don't ignore the wooing of the Spirit of God, even if it is
only a still small voice prompting you to make major changes in your life. If you seek to lose your life you will find
it, but if you seek to save (be safe, hold on to) your life you will lose it (Mt 16:25).
YOU CAN'T OUTWIT GOD

Many will respond to the sense of impending hardship the Spirit of God has placed in them and change the way they
are living today. Unfortunately, many of those who do change will not seek God sufficiently nor wait for clear
understanding and direction; instead, they will respond by either applying man's best wisdom to the limited
understanding they have from God, following their own understanding or someone else's leading or waiting until it is
too late. In the end, they will find their works of the flesh burned up in the fire that is to come.
We will not be able to outwit God. Now is the time to diligently seek Him and wait on Him until He provides us with
direction and understanding.
BEYOND JUDGMENT
There is a hope and a future for our nation after this time of judgment. We will rebuild again after this season of
devastation and there will once again be fruitfulness in our land. But when that day comes we will have passed
though the fire of God.
We, His Church, will have had our motives purified and our faith increased. We will be humble, merciful and content
in all things. We will be free from the fear of man yet stand in awe at the fear of God. We will be free from the
works of the flesh and know what it means to truly abide with Him. We will have love.
Although this nation will no longer be a political Super Power, the new Church in America will be a spiritual Super
Power, a generation of bond servants who are totally sold out to God and who will affect the nations, a generation
of willing martyrs, who, by their very blood, will assist in completing the foundations of Christ's Church throughout
the world.
COMMENTARY
UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETIC
Although the Church has learned a great deal in the past few years, we still minimize and misunderstand much of the
prophetic nature of God. If we can set aside for a minute the issues of whether or not the "gifts" are for today or our
strong beliefs of what the prophetic should look like, I would like to focus on one narrow aspect of the prophetic
nature of God that can best be summed up in Jesus' words, "my sheep hear my voice and will follow me" John
10:27.
Let's say that there is a significant event slated to happen in the future which would have a thousand times the impact
on the people of this nation when compared to the impact which the transfer of Hong Kong to China had on its
citizens. In Hong Kong's case, radio, TV and newspapers had been running stories about the transfer for years.
Sure, fifty years out they were infrequent and thirty years out they occurred with only slightly more regularity. But by
ten years out they were at least regular and within the last year or so prior to the event, the frequency moved from
daily to the point of consuming the news.
Now, think of the prophetic nature of God as though the Spirit of God operates a radio broadcast station. He
knows what is coming to this nation and His programming schedule resembles that described above. With increasing
frequency, He has been and is broadcasting what is to come. Some may have heard their first broadcast fifty years
ago, some thirty and perhaps some only within the past few months. With each broadcast there were some who
were attentive and sought out more understanding while others may have missed the significance or discounted what
they heard entirely. But the fact is, no matter what the response from the individual, God has been speaking about
the coming judgment for quite some time.
Whether or not one can "hear God" by a charismatic definition is little indication of whether s/he has been hearing
these broadcasts. The broadcasts are not in the natural, but in the spiritual realm and speak to the Spirit of God
within us. For some it may be as subtle as only a vague sense, while others may describe it as a "still small voice,"
and a few may even be engaged in an active dialogue with God.
My point is that I believe that there are many who do not necessarily think in terms of "hearing" God or in terms of
the prophetic nature of God who have heard these broadcasts but have not understood that it was God speaking to
them. Hopefully, this will help you realize that much of what your are reading or hearing with your ears is not that
weird or foreign to you and that it is, in fact, confirming something that already resides within you and which you
heard from Jesus. The good news for believers is that we know The Broadcaster. If we begin to tune into Him, we
will not only begin to hear more broadcasts on the issue, which increase our understanding, but we will be able to
hear (or sense) things that are individually catered to us and how we need to respond individually.
UNDERSTANDING THE URGENCY

Today, whether packaged as a Hollywood movie, a book of warnings and admonitions by a well respected
fundamentalist or a charismatic's "Thus says the Lord," there are a variety of prophetic messages going out and many
carry a sense of urgency that, in many ways, seems unfounded, extreme and contrary to what we see with our eyes.
Are we really expected to respond to all of this?
Although it is not my point to write a historical perspective on this dilemma, seemingly unfounded cries of urgency
within prophetic messages are not new to our day and are clearly seen throughout the Scripture. Thus, we should
learn from history and realize that no matter how unfounded these cries seemed, when the subjects of the prophesies
recorded in the Bible were unresponsive, they paid dearly, often with their very lives.
My understanding of the situation today is that yes, even in the midst of the cries of urgency, most areas of the
country still have some time before circumstances become dire.. But I also have strong convictions that the sooner
we respond the better off we will be. Let me give you an example.
Let's say that there is a city which is going to be totally destroyed by a bomb(s) or some natural disaster. I believe
that God will speak far enough ahead of time and in such a way that some people will slowly migrate to where God
is wanting them to go in a manner in which they see little or no negative impact on their lives, while others will ignore
the promptings of God to find themselves awakened in the night and fleeing at the last minute and suffer great loss.
And what about those who don't even respond to the urgency in the middle of the night?
Remember, God desires that we would receive His salvation, not his wrath, but it is crucial to respond early so that
we have the necessary time to gain God's understanding. The longer we wait, the greater our losses stand to be.
This doesn't mean that we should jump up and take action with only the sense we've had for years about moving to
the country and storing up food, because that could very well still be our own limited understanding. What we should
do is seek God and wait on Him. He will give us understanding and direction in the right time. The issue then is, do
we have time to delay in seeking God and His understanding?
One last comment on this subject, which I feel compelled to include, is that I believe that God would, in the example
above, have people remain in the city, for His purposes, right up to the last minute and possibly never have them
leave at all. Thus, in this example, judging others by whether they flee early or late may be little indication of where
their heart is before God. And the heart, after all, is what God is after.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF DEBT

A friend recently stated to me that, "for decades there has been a clear call to get out of debt." Then he asked, "what
do you think the consequences are if we don't?" Although I have given this much thought, I have only a general sense
with very little specifics to offer.
What my friend said is true. Of all that has been spoken prophetically during the past twenty plus years that I have
been attentive, there are three words that have been spoken clearly and consistently. They are that of a huge revival
coming which will reach across the globe, a financial crisis coming to America that will far surpass that of the Great
Depression, and a clear call to get out of debt.
Frankly, I don't know what the specific consequences will be for those who are in debt when this time comes, nor
have I heard others spelling out specifics. But it does seem obvious that the consequences will be so severe for both
individuals and businesses that God has been warning us against this for decades.
At this point, being out of debt is very clear in my understanding, with the exception of home mortgages. I know
plenty of people, whom I believe walk closely with God, who have recently felt led to borrow money to purchase a
home. I also know many who are beginning to hate the thought of having a mortgage. I am aware that with our
current tax laws it seems irresponsible to not borrow money to purchase a house, but is this really God's desire? My
sense today is that it is a matter of timing, and many will feel to get out of their mortgages in the near future; however,
I often wonder if we are so accepting of our own culture [traditions] that we can't hear [nullify] God on this issue.
("... thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your traditions" Mt. 15:6.)
Here's some food for thought on this issue. We generally think that God has blessed us with great businesses and
homes for which we owe so much money, but in Deuteronomy 28, having to borrow money is listed as one of the
effects of being cursed by God for not following Him fully. Has God changed His mind and given an exemption to
this "great Christian nation" or is it possible that we can't see how being debt free is possible because we are
unwilling to follow Him fully?
JUDGMENT
We in the Church in America often cringe at the idea of God judging our nation and tend to rationalize or justify the
idea away by the fact that we have been a great benefactor to other countries and peoples or that by comparison,
we seem, as a nation, to be more godly than most other countries. However, I can find no biblical grounds to
substantiate the idea that God would or will exempt us from judgment. In fact, I find the contrary to be true.
Although there are many scriptural references that I could use in an effort to argue that God would and will judge this
nation, I would like to just make one point which I believe makes this issue very clear. Numerous times throughout
the Old Testament, God brought judgment on His own people in an effort to turn their hearts back to Him. If God
relentlessly brings judgment on His chosen people, how do we think that He will not bring judgment on us?
What is coming to America is God's judgment, and it will be this judgment that changes the Church. As Jesus
learned obedience through the things He suffered, we will learn obedience through the things that we are about to
suffer.
THE PAPER FORTRESS CRUMBLES

I'm sure that many are wondering exactly what I mean when I state that "those holding paper. . . will find that the
paper that they hold is near worthless." Will stocks be worthless? Will dollars be worthless? Should we buy gold or
silver instead?
Frankly, I am lacking understanding beyond the fact that the words "near worthless" won't leave my mind. My sense
is that, at the least, there will be a massive devaluation and possibly restrictions on cashing out which would make
our investments inaccessible. However, even this doesn't seem as drastic as what is often in my spirit.
FOLLOWING GOD OR FOLLOWING MAN?

Because of my personal understanding of the times, combined with the fact that neither I nor the people around me
who I know to be given to prayer are yet sensing to take physical action, I am somewhat concerned about those
who are primarily preaching to start physical preparations, particularly those who don't emphasize heart preparation
or God's timing. I am not offering a blanket caution against making physical preparation at this time, but I am
convinced that the judgment that is coming will burn up the works of the flesh, even those which are in response to
the Spirit. Thus, my caution is to please be careful that you are doing what you believe God is wanting YOU to do
and not responding out of fear or getting caught up in what others are feeling they should do.
The fact that others are feeling strongly to take steps that I am not should not necessarily be construed as a conflict
but rather an example of my point that God will have a different path for every individual. For some it many mean
selling a home, for others it may mean buying a home. For some it will be acquiring land and for others stocks, jobs,
gold, food or who knows? There will not always be consistency between ourselves in the specifics that we hear
from God. Nobody can tell us what to do nor can our greatest computers design a strategic plan for survival. There
is only One who knows what YOU should do and now is the time to get to know the One.
The scripture which is so embedded in my mind is Mt. 7:22-23, where Jesus says, "many will say to Me on that
day, 'Lord, Lord,' but I will say to them I never knew you, depart from Me." It is obvious that these of whom
He was speaking were not apathetic about their faith because they strongly defended themselves by saying, "did we
not [do great things] in Your name?" But Jesus was not influenced by their good works and says to them, "I never
knew you, depart from Me."
Y2K OR BEYOND?
Although I tend to believe that Y2K will cause some disruptions which could very well be severe and prolonged and
which will be significant enough to justify making some physical preparations, I believe that the effects will pale in
comparison to the events which are to follow.
My concern is that many are tuning into the "broadcast" regarding the devastation that is to come but are assuming
that it is all related to Y2K and have failed to understand the bigger picture. If this is the case, many may go to great
lengths and over prepare for Y2K, which will potentially leave them scandalized and unwilling to go to the lengths
necessary to prepare for what is to follow or, when there is a break between events, falsely believe that the whole
season is over and thus be caught off guard when the next event comes.
Here's some more food for thought. Wisdom, which we are often exhorted to pray for, is used in the book of
Proverbs fifty-four times. The word understanding is used sixty-six times. The majority of times wisdom is used,
understanding is used in the same verse or at least is soon to follow. Wisdom is the "what" and "how" of doing.
Understanding is the "when" and the "why." It will not be enough for us to know the "what" and "how" during these
times; we need to also know the "when" and the "why."
ABOUT THE MUTINY

I have painted a fairly harsh picture of the Church and its current leadership in the previous section entitled "The
Mutiny," and want to clarify my position on this issue so that it is clear that I am not against the Church or any of its
leaders.
Although I do have strong convictions that, currently, the Church in America is immature, relatively ineffective and
living a watered down Gospel (if it wasn't, I don't believe we would be going through this judgment), I am also
convinced that God is intent on changing her, whether that be a change of heart or a change of individuals, or both.
Although my hope, my prayers and my efforts are towards God transforming the current leadership, I believe that a
substantial portion of both the leadership and the Church as a whole will not significantly change until they are forced
to do so by the pressures of the coming events.
A THOUGHT FOR JOSEPHS TO PONDER

Joseph provided salvation for Israel, but it seems that He did it in a way that eventually lead them into slavery. How
can we as end-time Joesphs provide for the salvation of His Church without it leading to her eventual bondage or
slavery?
A SUMMARY SCRIPTURE
"...Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me? I will expose your
righteousness and works, and they will not benefit you. When you cry out for help, let your
collection of idols, save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them
away. But the man who makes me his refuge will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain.
Isa. 57:11-13"

Love Thy Neighbor

Karen Velez
Do not be prejudiced, My people

For when you walk down the street each day
you see many people walk past you, and you turn your face away
afraid to look each other in the eyes
But each one of them is one of My children
That I died and shed My blood for
Will you participate in the harvest?
Will you show Me to them?
Will you give them that cup of living water?
Share your joy, share your peace, share your salvation
SHARE ME
For I hear their voices crying out to Me from the pit
And My heart breaks, for they don't have to go there
I died for them, I died for you
Go and make disciples of ALL nations
But first, start in your own family
in your own neighborhood
share a smile, look into their eyes
Be Jesus to them
Be My arms and legs
Love them as I love them
for they were once YOU,
as you were......

Vision During Lunch Hour

Steve Lincoln, Chester, Cheshire:
Dear all, During my lunch hour today, I spent some time praying in the cathedral in Chester (UK), where I live.
Whilst I was praying, God gave me a vision.
I saw the earth from a distance. In various places on the earth fires could be seen. These fires burned fiercely, and God
told me that the fires represented the areas of the world where He is moving in mighty revival power.
I began to intercede for God's glory to be spread even further throughout the earth, that all places might know the glory of
God, and have revival fire poured out on them. After a while God then showed me the fires spreading, and they began to
touch each other, and burn even more fiercely than before.
God then said to me "Watch", and as I watched I saw that the whole earth was covered in fire, the fire of God's Holy
Spirit bringing revival, restoration and renewal to the whole earth. I asked God "When will this be? And how will it
happen?" God said to me "It is for me to know the times and seasons when this will take place, but know that it will
come. My glory will cover the whole earth as the waters cover the seas. Focus on Me and on what I have called you to
do, and encourage others in their walks."
I hope that this has been an encouragement to you all. Let's keep praying for the fire to fall! God bless you all,
Steve Lincoln.

Major Hurricane Predicted

Jerrill Miller
MOBILE, AL — August 8, 1998

Rick Joiner and Bob Jones made some amazing observations about Mobile and revival in that city. Once again they
spoke about the crisis of the presidency at this time.
On January 1, 1993 Bob Jones said that he had an amazing word from the Lord. He said a major revival would begin in a
place where the Tennessee and Ohio River waters run to, that place is Mobile, Alabama. An amazing prediction by the
two men said that Mobile would experience a storm that would be greater than a category 5 hurricane and after that
happened it would open the gates for revival in the southern city. No time or date was mentioned on when the storm
would happen.
The prophecy about the water that runs to this area concerns the Tombigbee water system that was built by the Army
Corp of Engineers for commerce and barge traffic. The system incorporates the waters of the Tennessee and the Ohio
Rivers and uses these waters as a transportation means to Mobile. The system was a project that was launched by the
congress and took more than a half a century to complete.
"Just as President Clinton’s dirty laundry is being hung before the American people so will the men of God that have
chosen to criticize the president and not pray for him," said Joyner. Joyner went on to say that Jesus told people to pay
taxes and pray for leadership that was in control. "The Caesar that was in Rome at the time Jesus made these
statements was worst than the leadership we have today but Jesus commanded those who heard Him at the time to pray
for that leadership."
Bob Jones spoke about the events that will happen that will cause Mobile to experience revival. He said, "The
intercessors are so wounded and hurt. God will begin to restore those intercessors in Mobile. It will be after the great
hurricane that God will begin to restore these warriors. God will next call elders forward. Wounded from the past, these
elders will lay aside their hurts and become living sacrifices to be able to bring forth life again. The next thing that he will
call forward will be generals. The final people that will come forward will be the prophets of God. Many of the older pastors
will be the generals in this move of God."
Joyner made a profound statement that many will be promoted to be in the position of leadership. He said many of these
people have been obedient for years and have followed God and they will move now into leadership roles in the new move
of the church. He used several examples of true leadership promoted from obedience.
Joyner spoke about the leadership role of Joshua as he served Moses for 38 years a subordinate and then was promoted
to take the children of Israel into the promised land. He said that while Joshua was obedient to serve Moses he was not
impressed by his position but wanted to do the will of God and stand in his presence. It was more important for Joshua to
be in the will of God than to hold a leadership position under a great man of God like Moses. He was promoted at time
and called for from a subordinate position to do a great work for God.
Joyner said that the Jordan River represents death and even flowed into the dead sea. Joshua led the people across its
banks when they were overflowed and it looked impossible to do. Joshua was chosen for this moment to lead the people.
"When Joshua crossed the Jordan the scripture said that the waters were rolled back all the way to Adam." This means
that to the first sin of Adam which caused death time was turned back. "I believe that we will see death rolled back in our
time."
"How do we take our cities? Mighty men will go forward first, then the priest will follow and then the people of God will
follow. It’s a time of break through," said Joyner. "God is going to put people in place that have never been in leadership
before but have been obedient to do what God has called them to. Any group that tries to do their own things without
doing it with others is a cancer in the body of Christ."
Joyner gave the example of Saul as a result of leadership trying to ally with the devil for a godly purpose. He spoke about
how God had told him to destroy the Amalekites and Saul chose to keep the King of that group alive and keep the spoil.
In the Bible the Amalekites represents the devil and when God told him to destroy them he was disobedient. It was this
type of disobedience that caused God to withdraw the leadership role of Israel from Saul. From that time on Saul did
things without the anointing of God. Saul began to attacked the Godly, David was part of that attack. Finally Saul was
removed by God. It was the Philistines that finally put the sword through Saul because of disobedience. The Philistines
represented the flesh in the Bible. Saul was doing more in the flesh than he was doing under the anointing. The point that
Joyner was making was that many men in the land have been told what to do but would not follow God because of the
fear of people. God would raise up new leadership to take place of the Sauls of this world. David was loyal to Saul
because he was the anointed of God. Even though Saul tried to kill David. Even after Saul’s death he held the once
anointed King in honor. Because of David’s obedience toward God he was promoted. Joyner said that many are in the
position of being appointed.
Joyner spoke about General Blackjack Pershing. Persing was 38 years old and was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
He should have been higher in rank but it didn’t bother Pershing. His obedience caused President Teddy Roosevelt to
notice him and remember him from the time he was in Cuba during the Spanish American War. It was his obedience and
confidence that caused his promotion from the rank of captain to general by the president. Joyner said he was put in
place to do a great work after being obedient in the lower ranks. He was the general that was appointed to take the
American Expeditionary Force to the to battle in World War I. Pershing refused to put his troops into the trenches of
France. The war had bogged down and several million men had been lost in the trench warfare at the time. Pershing was
called in by French and British Prime Ministers and was told to relieve the French and the British in the trenches.
Pershing knew who he was and did not respond to the pressure, he did allow for some replacement but told the two
prime ministers that when he called for his men that he wanted them ready for his purpose only.. Pershing later launched
a counter offensive that pushed four layers deep into the German lines. So much ground was gained by Pershing that it
caused the German’s to sue for peace. It only took 47 days to accomplish what the British and French had tried to do
over a period of several years. Where the British and French had lost millions Pershing only suffered 122,000 during the
offensive. He was brought forward at the right time to do a great work for his country.
Joyner said that the church is a lot like the French and the English in the trenches. They are holding their own but are
not advancing. He said that God was going to promote some obedient servants to go forward in an offensive move against
the Kingdom of darkness. Joyner said that the British and the French were necessary to hold the line against evil, and
church leadership that has held the line during years past have set the stage for the great offensive by this new
leadership. It was absolutely important that they were in place or evil would of overcome good. God is fixing to promote
some 38 year old lieutenants in the body of Christ.

Man's Plight with False Religions

Nita Johnson
The Lord has recently spoken with me by His Spirit about false religions, once in a dream and once in a vision. I feel He
wants Me to Share these with you to help the Church gain a greater burden for the lost. So, I will do my best to convey
what Jesus has shared with me.
On the 28th of January I was given the following vision: First, I saw the spirit of death with whom the nations have made a
covenant through their idolatry. (Is. 28:15) Then I saw Jesus standing to his left. I turned and quickly rebuked the spirit of
death. But in seeing Jesus, I nearly ruined the vision, as I was so glad to see Him that I cried out to Him wanting to go
and be with Him. However, when I did this, He quickly drew my attention to His purpose for the vision.
Jesus drew me away with Himself and began to show Me nation after nation. I saw their idolatrous practices, parades
and other forms of worship dedicated to their false gods. I would see in nation after nation that Jesus would give the
people the opportunity to accept Him as Savior and God. But, time and again the people would turn away to the gods of
their own making and their greed. For instance, I saw His interplay with an Asian family. Jesus repeatedly tried to reveal
Himself to them in hopes of bringing them to the knowledge of truth. But they would not give Him serious consideration,
as they didn't want to part with their money by giving to the poor or any such thing. Yet, they eagerly spent $2000.00 on
a doll for their child, then went into a temple to worship their god.
I saw this scenario played out repeatedly in so many different ways in nation after nation. The people would refuse Jesus
for the sake of greed, then turn and worship their self-made idol to the loss of their soul. These idols and the practices of
idol worship were hideous to me. I would have loved it if this whole revelation had come to an end as I was seeing their
idolatry through the Lords eyes. The perversion of His holiness was both horrible and painful.
When our travels finally came to an end, Jesus turned to me and told me that every false religion and cult in existence is
rooted in greed. Greed, was the motivation behind the origin of the thing and greed was the reason in every heart for
embracing what was not of the one true God. (I Tim. 6:10) Then He left me alone and I lay awake and spent time in
prayer before my early morning appointment.
The second event took place on the 15th of March. In a dream, I got into my automobile and began to drive through the
Rocky Mountains. It seemed that I began at the far north end heading south. As I entered Upon the mountain range I saw
a demon standing on top of a high peak. He was crying Out to all of America: "I dare you to enter into my garden of the
gods." As I turned onto the road to go through the range it seemed as though I was traveling through a tunnel that was
fairly open it the top. Throughout this tunnel, I saw caves or cubicles in the rock in which housed different cults or edifices
and worship of false gods. Beside the cave Would hang a picture of the one who founded the cult and a picture of the
Supposed god. Beside that would be a transcript of how the cult came into being with an encouragement to the reader to
enter in. There were virtually thousands of these dens for these false gods. Incidentally, foreigners starter Most Of these
cults and false religions. As YOU Would enter into the various dens You would be met by a tour guide who would tell you
all you wanted to know about their sect and teach you how to get involved with their religious practice and the worship of
their deity.
I became so overwhelmed with the numbers of followers particularly young people, that I began to try to lead them to the
Lord. However, I could find no takers among them. My heart was broken for their blindness. At one I passed by a
witchcraft cult. When I realized that they were sending curses out upon the innocent spectators I bound their Curses.
This ignited retribution from the cult. But, I simply pled the power of the blood of Jesus and was left unharmed.
As I neared the end of the path, I could hear a voice echoing through the tunnel repeatedly saying: "Garden of the gods."
When I awoke, the Lord spoke to me saying: "America has become a garden of the gods." I could feel His heart break
and I wept and prayed.
It is going to take heavy and concerted prayer on behalf of all peoples of the world to break the strongholds of false
religions. As we pray that God will open the blind eyes and pour out a spirit of conviction and contrition upon the people,
we will begin to see a greater breakthrough. Further, we must pray that God will prepare the Church for a greater
anointing so we can walk in the power to destroy the veils of -darkness over the eyes of the people. It really Would be a
hopeless situation except for the power of God, and the determined purpose of His manifold counsel. So we can pray
against the veil of deception over the lost and submit ourselves to the workings of God's Spirit in preparation to receive
the power He has promised and believe God for the mighty harvest of souls in faith and courage. May I encourage you to
engage in this warfare with me?

Monarchies And The Nations

Sonja Corazza
Nov. 24, 1998

I began to read an article about Queen Elizabeth and the new status of royalty in the English
government and immediately this word came forth. I finished reading the article after writing this word
as I heard it and was shocked to find that not only was a seat in the government being challenged but
that new social programs were being proposed. This is submitted knowing the Body will judge and
discern.
"No one shall replace Me in the hearts and minds of My people. Just as the Hebrews wanted King
Saul and I gave them what they wanted but it was against Me, so have the monarchies stolen from the
people and replaced Me in the people's eyes. The monarchies became the richest in the nations, but I
became the poorest, to become a servant of all, to the very loss of My life, that I might become a
ransom for all.
The nations in these last hours are going to all look to Me because I am going to tear down the
kingdoms of this world and they shall become the kingdoms of our God.
No longer shall the poor cry out, "Feed me, feed me," but I shall distribute the wealth of the nations
amongst the people and all shall know that I the Lord have spoken."

The Message Of The Cross

Visions given to Bob Jones
written by Keith Davis
Many in the church may have recognized a considerable breakthrough in the Spirit realm on for
around November 28, 1998. For the previous several months Bob had been stating that the Lord was
promising a release of something in the Spirit on Nov. 28th. As always, the Lord was faithful to His
promise and released not only revelations but also breakthrough against the evil oppositions
attempting to withstand God's purposes and the promises released to many. The following outline
includes personal aspects of the visions, which we allowed to remain because the application has a
corporate purpose. Many times the Lord will illustrate truths through a prophet in order to bring a
corporate message.
Visions received on Nov. 28, 1998
In this prophetic experience Bob found himself driving a 98 Oldsmobile with Wanda and myself in the
vehicle with him. We were traveling on a smooth four-lane highway with little traffic. Suddenly, we saw
vehicles headed directly towards us on the wrong side of the highway. Instinctively, Bob directed the
vehicle off the highway forcing us to travel through a muddy area to alleviate a head on collision.
The 98 Oldsmobile represented promises made to us for 1998. We were forced to leave the highway
because vehicles were approaching us from the wrong direction representing opposition to the
promises in the Spirit. The religious spirits attempting to withstand us caused us to take to the ditch in
order to alleviate certain disaster. When this occurred, Bob did not slow the vehicle but instead
accelerated in order to make it through the mud and mire until we approached a culvert that could only
be crossed with divine assistance in order to gain access back onto the highway. The mud and mire
represented the thoughts that the enemy has released against the church and her prophets attempting
to cloud our vision.
Thankfully, the Lord guided us past the culvert and back onto the main highway. The culvert
represented the Lord's divine provision for gaining access to His promises. The culvert had to be
approached with faith and patience in order to be negotiated. It is through faith and patience that we
inherit promises. These oppositions are allowed to train our warrior skills as we develop a spiritual
tenacity to fight through any and all opposition in order to reach our goal. Our highest goal and
purpose is to KNOW HIM more intimately (Phil 3:7-15). Our greatest promise is to be granted free
access into His Divine Presence and to become One Spirit with Him (Zec. 3:7; 1 Cor 6:17).
Once we were back on the highway it brought us to the intersection of highway 27. This represented
Psalms 27. The message of this Psalm is stating that people will live in either separated fear or
trusting relationship, based upon our choices. In the vision, Bob and I were directed to go East for
there would be a powerful move of the Spirit somewhere to the East. This could represent either
Jacksonville or Charlotte or both. In either event, it was clear that we reached our destination via the
27th Psalm. This not only represented the 27th Psalm singularly, but also the number 27 and its
numerical combinations. (3 X 9...9 + 9 + 9)
As this vision faded another began showing a fruit tree that had been very productive in times past,
however, some of the fruit bearing limbs were out of balance with the remainder of the tree. Certain of
the limbs were producing an abundance of fruit while others sparingly. Some of the branches were
mature while others were underdeveloped. Bob then saw a pair of pruning shears descending from
heaven and begin to dress the fruit tree. (John 15:5) Surprisingly, the Lord began to prune the
abundant fruit bearing branches in order to allow the less mature ones to develop and bring forth a
perfectly balanced tree.
When the pruning ceased a beautifully symmetrical tree resulted, shaped very similar to a Christmas
tree.
(NOTE: We believe the Lord showed this in the shape of a Christmas tree only to give us the timing
for the application of the visions not an endorsement. The tree illustrated that during the Christmas
season this process of pruning and development would take place. We believe that many of the
activities in this country associated with Christmas are extremely grievous to the Lord and distract
from the true purpose of the cross and the life of Christ.)
This tree was now in such perfect balance that strong winds of adversity could not disturb it. Prior to
the pruning the imbalance of fruit producing branches would have allowed the winds of adversity to
topple the tree. The Lord now wants the unfruitful areas of our lives to develop in maturity and perfect
balance with those areas in which we are strong. The Lord pruned the fruitful areas of our lives so that
the weaker areas could develop. This pruning process is what we have been going through in the
recent past. Great athletes always train hardest in the areas of their weakness. So should it be with
our spiritual well being. At this present time it has been immaturity and a lack of balance that has
prevented the great move of the Spirit.
The end result of John 15 is the cherished relationship of His friend. Many people spend long hours
praying for Peace and Joy while neglecting self-control and meekness. The Lord is looking for a
perfectly balanced tree bearing all nine of the fruit of the Spirit.
The most important revelation then came at 4:58 a.m. Bob was taken to the pinnacle of a great
building. The Holy Spirit extended something that appeared like a skyhook that lifted him in the Spirit,
perhaps similar to the way that the Lord took Ezekiel. The Spirit wanted Bob to observe the activities
taking place on the top of this great building.
Bob was not actually on the building but elevated above it. Bob's attention was first directed to a
notable statue mounted as a Memorial on this building. This monument had the attributes of an
ancient God. At that moment a burst of fire, like lightning, descended against this Memorial with such
fervent heat that it cracked and broke in several pieces. Then, following the fire came a great wind that
blew against the remaining portions of the Memorial. The wind blew steadily against the statue
eroding what the fire did not destroy. Following the wind came an earthquake with such violent
trembling that the remaining portion of the Memorial that the fire and wind did not destroy fell from the
building crashing to the ground.
This Memorial was a tribute to the accomplishments of man... The foolish pride of man acknowledging
his own exploits creating an image to his own glory. This Memorial was the very essence of idolatry
and the worship of false gods. The statue represented the deception of self-sufficiency and stiff-
necked arrogance.
The Spirit then lowered Bob to the base of the platform previously holding the Memorial in its place.
He was then given a great tool to extract the nuts and bolts holding the base in place so that even the
foundation of this statute was removed. What would have seemed like a very difficult task became
simple by using the implement provided by the Spirit.
Bob's attention was then directed to another skyhook that was transporting another Memorial to
replace the previously destroyed one. This Memorial, however, was a great and glorious One. This
image was in appearance very similar to the statue of the American flag being erected on the island
of Iwo Jima, known as the "Iwo Jima Memorial". Instead of an American flag it was an image of the
Cross being lifted up by 12 men each shielding his face so as not to presume to receive glory or
acknowledgment for the Power and Glory of the Cross.
Bob was then instructed to use the same implement that he used to dismantle the foundation of the
previous Memorial to securely and permanently lock the Cross in its place.
These twelve humble soldiers represented the coming government of God that will lift up the Cross
above all else bringing to the church the glorious reality and power of the redemption purchased on
the Cross. There is coming to the church through God's government the preaching and teaching of the
Cross on a level not yet seen in this generation. The church has barely even touched the great
redemption truths of the Cross that will prepare the Bride in perfection and Union with Christ. As in all
wars, Liberty and Freedom comes with a price. These realities will be imparted to those willing to pay
the price and allow the pruning of the Holy Spirit that we may know Him, and the power of His
resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death.
The primary responsibility of the apostles and prophets will be to securely fashion the foundation of
the Cross in the hearts of the people through the demonstration of the Spirit and Power. This can only
be done through the tools provided by the Holy Spirit. We are given the blueprint for this purpose
through Psalms 27 imparting the reality of intimate relationship...Seeking and desiring one thing, that
we may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of our lives that we may gaze upon His beauty and
inquire in His temple.
Neither retreat nor deceleration is an option. As we accelerate toward the Lord, despite the
obstacles, He will sovereignly through great grace see us through and place us on His Highway. The
tree that was being pruned was fashioned in the appearance of a Christmas tree denoting that these
purposes will begin to take shape by Christmas.

More from Denver

Rick Mann
June 3, 1998
I am a deacon from Parker Christian Center in Aurora Colorado. I served on the prayer team to assist the Brownsville
Ministry Team for the Awake America Conference in Denver from June 1-2, 1998. During the intercessory prayer time on
the evening of June 2, something happened that I would like to submit to you for your consideration.
Bruce Gilchrist, my prayer partner, and I went through the crowd that evening praying for those that had come forward for
a fresh anointing. During the time we made our way through the crowd praying for people I came upon a very tall ruddy
looking middle aged man just standing there looking around and taking everything in. It was near the very back of the
people that had come forward (2,000-3,000 folks), so I asked him if someone had prayed for him yet. He said, "No", but
he was fine, " but thanks for asking." He was very interested in who was speaking that night. I told him who it was. I also
said that the Brownsville Leadership believes that their names should be downplayed and only Christ be lifted up. He said
as he looked around that "our team here is doing a very good job." And that, "this is exactly what the church needs."
Since it didn’t look like he wanted prayer I blessed him in the name of our Lord and started to move on to the next person
to pray for. He stopped me by invoking a responsive blessing over me that really touched my heart. He seemed to want
me to linger a bit longer with him and talk. He said, "This is how the Lord is going to raise up His church." I agreed with
him and said that we really need to cast off the spirit of religion and let God build His church the way he wants to. I also
told him that "this" is the real church, no walls, no denominations, just ministering to each other. He became visibly
excited and he spoke with me about the dead works of the church that need to be cast aside. He said that "God is
raising up His church and it is without walls and programs. They are obedient to Him and how He wants to do it." I said
that God has to do it, we can’t. He corrected me and said "No, He will do it through us!" I accepted the correction and
agreed with his statement. As I left him I blessed him again and he blessed me. Then as I walked away to pray for the
next person I heard him say "We are everywhere, we will visit from time to time." Now, that stopped me dead in my
tracks. I thought, what is he a member of a cult group or something! Who are the "we" he was referring to. So I turned
and asked him to repeat what he said. He said the same thing again. I didn’t know what to say, so I turned and went to
the next person to pray for.
Was he a flake, or a "watcher" or angel sent by the Lord. I don’t know. But, he sure warmed my heart when we talked. I
did not have a confirmation from the Lord one way or another about the authenticity of this man. But I felt you should
know of the event.

Vision For Mecca

Madeleine O'Connell, London:
At my home prayer group this morning Tuesday the 31st of March 1998, during a time of anointed praise. I had a mental
picture of a big black mass or structure, which I soon recognised to be the Khaba in Mecca. I saw definite, defined rays
of extremely strong light coming down from the sky and resting on the structure. The longer the light rested on it, the
smaller it became until the structure crumbled, and the whole place was filled visibly with the radiance of His Son Jesus.
I felt the Lord asking us to hold the Muslims in our hearts in prayer, especially during the next couple of weeks as we
celebrate the death on the cross and resurrection into heaven, of Jesus Christ. I came back consciously to the words we
were singing which were "Once again I look upon the cross where you died, I'm humbled by your mercy and I'm broken
inside, once again I thank you,…" (From a song called 'Jesus Christ' by Matt Radman). I felt a sense of urgency for a
world prayer, and I also heard the Lord telling me in my heart, to spread this prayer request via the net.
Please will you join me in prayer?
"Heavenly Father, we thank you and praise you! We stand humbly at the foot of your Cross as Your children, and we ask
You Father, in the name of your Son Jesus, to send Your Holy Spirit to all Muslims that they may recognise Jesus to be
Your Son, to be the Truth the Way and the Life. That they may love Him and follow Him and share in the Joy of knowing
Him, share in the peace and security of being in His presence. That they may receive the Holy Spirit with all the gifts of
service. That they may be filled with love for one another, Your love, and that they may walk on Your path and spread the
Good News so that all Glory, Power and Honour will be Yours Almighty Father! In Jesus' sweet precious name. Amen!"

Martyrs for Christ

Roy Gillette
No, sorry friends, we cannot join. But then maybe you didn’t want to anyway. This organization is very exclusive, so
exclusive that its membership consists only of people chosen. We may volunteer, but that still does not guarantee that
we will be chosen.
The first charter member, Stephen, was so happy to be chosen that he could hardly wait to qualify. He completely
ignored the insults and other things that people were throwing at him.
John and Betty Stam, missionaries to China, were selected. They watched their children die for Christ first, before they
could have their turn. My former high school friend Peter Fleming too, was chosen. He was one of the five missionaries
killed by Auca Indians.
MFC numbers are increasing, so you may wish to think about this. It is a little difficult, though, to talk with the members
for advice on how to die for Christ. They are all with the Lord. Charles Colson and World Evangelism Fellowship (of
Wheaton, Ill.) say that worldwide, we now have an average of 17 persons per hour that die for their faith in Christ.
What are our chances to be chosen, you and me? We cannot say just yet, but they are increasing. Here in the United
States we may see Christians starting to be persecuted, not for what they have done, but for what they might do,
because of their non-politically correct religious orientation. Even James Dobson, in his May, 1997 newsletter, reported
that a blacklist was distributed at a secret government meeting. Focus on the Family, along with 28 other Christian and
conservative organizations, was on this list.
I wonder if that blacklist might have included our esteemed Martyrs for Christ organization, had they only known about it?
I would hope so. One of MFC’s alumni who was also with Peter Fleming, Jim Elliot, had said beforehand, "He is no fool
who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
God bless you dear ones who may some day be chosen,
Roy Gillette
Since martyrdom is a reality, I have described it here as though it were an organization, just so that you and I might more
easily identify ourselves with it.

A Report From Michigan

William Hawkins
via Richard M Riss
Here's a report from Bill and Janet Hawkins. It's about Steve and Kathy Gray's visit to Michigan this week. My wife
Kathryn and I had the privilege of spending this past weekend in Smithton, Missouri, where Steve and Kathy Gray are
pastors, and it was marvelous. I hope to send some details about this soon.
Richard
Greetings:
We,(wife and I) just spent two days and nights in Portland, Michigan at the Mount Hope AOG church where Steve and
Kathy Gray were speaking for three days (Smithton Outpouring).
I will never be the same again.
God has come to speak to his people and we need to listen very closely to what HE is saying...
The message is that the church as we know it does not work. I guess we all knew that, now what do we do about
it.
The answer was simple : God wants in, we are in the way... Get right with God and let Him do whatever HE wants to
do...
Is revival coming to Grant, Michigan ?
Why not--it came to Smithton... We can touch people for the Lord also if we can just get to that place in our
relationship with Him where His will is all that matters...
Not Yet !! But praying and believing;

Yours In Christ:

Mother Is Moving
Dream & Interpretation
By Lori Reynolds
7/24/98
In the dream, my mother called me, she said, "I have 8 hours to get moved."
That's it.
HOUR: a set segment of time for a particular ministry.

see John 2:4/ 4:23/12:27/ 17:21
and Luke 22:53/Rev. 3:10
EIGHT: Means something new, different; new birth

see Luke 1:59/2:21/9:28 1Peter 3:20
MOTHER: Matthew 11:19 Wisdom is justified by her children. (Wisdom is a mother) Proverbs 8 (yes 8) speaks of
wisdom, as a person, it is obvious that the wisdom of proverbs is the Holy Spirit. Especially considering verse 36 But he
who sins against me wrongs his own soul, All those who hate me love death. Compared to Matthew 12:31-32
"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Holy
Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him;
but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit; it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to
come."
SO-MOTHER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 19:27 Is remarkably parallel to my dream...."Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your MOTHER!"
And from that HOUR that disciple took her into his own home." (she MOVED)
JESUS IMPARTING HIS MOTHER TO THE DISCIPLE IS A SYMBOL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING IMPARTED TO HIS
DISCIPLES.
This is the hour (set segment of time for ministry) for new things to spring forth (8) because mother is moving (Holy Spirit
is moving)!!!!
Isaiah 42:9 "Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth
I tell you of them."
Isaiah 43:19 "Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth Shall you not know it?"
Praise be unto God!!!

In His Love,
Lori Reynolds

Moving My Bride Out Of The Synagogue

Heriberto Gonzalez
"HO, EVERY ONE THAT THIRSTETH, COME YE TO THE WATERS, AND HE THAT HATH NO MONEY; COME YE,
BUY, AND EAT; YEA, COME, BUY WINE AND MILK WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT PRICE". ISAIAH 55.1
I am calling each and every one of my servants to move out of the synagogue. Do not wait anymore closing yourself in
your own selfishness. GO OUT quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring into my kingdom the poor, and
the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. There is room yet for my saints of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and
nation. GO OUT into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
The time is short. Synagogues are becoming for many of my sons and daughters spiritual jails. They are conforming to
this world, and are apathetic, indifferent, and trust in their own strength. My wind will beat so strongly against religious
systems and programs that you my people will find yourselves uncomfortable into the synagogues. The only way to
continue will be to give up and allow the wind to take you OUTSIDE to fulfil my commission, yes, my only one
commission.
Yes, my faithful servants, behold, I have give you for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of me.
Remember, when you makest any event in my name, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; and you shalt be
blessed; for they can not recompense you; for you shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
My loved ones, bring multitudes into me, so that the world can see the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the
lame to walk, and the blind to see; let me heal them and take them into my kingdom.
My loved bride, MOVE OUT of the synagogue. My Spirit and his anointment is by now moving to my servant´s houses, to
my son´s work places, to open theatres, to wide parks and gardens, into the highways, streets and hedges all over the
world.
The latter rain has begun. It is now time for repentance, it is the acceptable year of the Lord, his love and mercy is at
hand, his freedom is available. Oh my servants, you will be filled with my Spirit and you will prophesy my testimony to
the whole world, accompanied by sign, wonders, and miracles.
"ENLARGE THE PLACE OF THY TENT, AND LET THEM STRETCH FORTH THE CURTAINS OF THINE HABITATIONS;
SPARE NOT, LENGTHEN THY CORDS, AND STRENGTHEN THY STAKES". Isaiah 54:2

My Sword of Judgment
William Hawkins
Last night while in prayer I saw a Sword, Bright, Beautiful, Point down and being offered to me to hold.
I said the Sword of the Spirit !

God said NO! "The Sword of the Lord"
I was fearful to take it
God said "The essence of the true fear of me"
I asked How shall I use it?
"You shall not use it"------ It shall use you "!
" You shall not take it-----It shall take you "!
"My sword is my Judgment which has been withheld; because my presence, My Glory had departed---My Glory is
returning to this land and My Sword of Judgment to my house---FIRST.."
" I am giving my sword to my Prophets first; not for judgment, but for warning to my house that judgment is coming and it
will begin there first. My prophets shall not judge, for they shall not wield the sword but it shall move them both to action
and to speak that which I give them to say---The day has come, the light shineth upon a dark land, darkness will be
dispelled--All things hidden in the darkness shall be exposed."
" I shall have a people who love me, honor me and wait only for me.... It is these I shall come for, it is these that shall be
the Bride---COME!"

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
The New Age Movement has become a powerful force in the devil’s strategy to blind the world to the
gospel of Jesus Christ. One reason why this movement has been so effective is because many New
Age teachings closely mirror the great truths of the gospel, but then carry them to conclusions that are
in conflict with the most central of all Christian truths—the cross. Because of the seriousness of this
deception, it is understandable that the church has developed a knee-jerk reaction to the very words
"new age." Even so, the way we combat darkness is not to run from it, but to take our stand on the
truth, and push it back.
Light is more powerful than darkness. When we open our shades at night, darkness does not come
into our rooms, but rather the light shines out into the darkness. We need not fear darkness if we know
the Light, Jesus. Neither can we allow the enemy to steal our words, our practices, or our teachings.
The very words "new age" do not belong to the devil, but to the Lord, and we must take them back.
Much of the success of The New Age Movement has come by stealing from the gospel the high
ground of hope for the future. This is the church’s special domain, and we must refuse to surrender a
single acre of it to the enemies of the cross.
It is a fundamental truth of the gospel that there is a new age coming. It is an age of peace,
righteousness and justice that will prevail over the whole earth. It is the age in which Jesus Christ will
rule as the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, and the Righteous Judge. This is the true message of
the new age to come that the enemy is trying to subvert through the New Age Movement. Almost every
aspect of New Age teachings is a counterfeit of the true hope of the gospel. However, just as we do
not quit using real currency because someone has made counterfeit currency, we must not abandon a
single truth of the coming kingdom of God. If there is counterfeit money circulating, we must become
more familiar with what is real so that we will be able to recognize the false. We must do the same
with the essential truths of the kingdom that the enemy is trying to steal. He would not be after these
truths if they were not important.
One primary way that the New Age Movement has been able to steal the crucial high ground of hope
for the future is through the church’s tendency to over-focus on the end of the age. This is not just the
end; it is the beginning of a new age in which Christ will rule over the earth! For the church to reclaim
the high ground of hope for the future, we must not continue to over-focus on the end, but begin to
proclaim the beginning, the coming of the kingdom. Hope for the future is central to the power of the
gospel. The age that is coming belongs to the Lord, and the message of the new age belongs to Him.
When the Lord came to earth the first time, He came to purchase our redemption with His own blood.
As Psalm 24:1 declares, "The earth is the LORD’S, and all it contains, the world, and those
who dwell in it." The price for the entire earth, and all of its inhabitants, was fully paid at the cross.
After His resurrection, Jesus could have destroyed the devil and taken His rightful domain over the
earth right then. Instead it was the Father’s plan that a people would first be redeemed from the earth
to become joint heirs with the Son of God, and they will then rule with Him in the age to come. The
Scriptures testify that when His bride is ready, the Lord will return to redeem the earth from all
consequences of the fall. Peter referred to this as the "restoration of all things" (Acts 3:21), and
this is why all of creation is groaning and travailing (Romans 8:19-22).
The enemy has been trying to preempt this powerful message of hope which the church is called to
proclaim. Our message is not one of doom, but of a glorious future as Jesus takes His dominion over
the world. Great troubles are coming at the end of the age, but not for those who know the Lord and
have built their lives upon His kingdom and His ways. For those who are obedient to the Lord, even
the troubles that are prophesied at the end will be a time of great glory.
The Scriptures are clear that the end of this age will be accompanied by a time of trouble such as the
world has never experienced before. These are biblical prophecies which cannot be changed. We
must teach them if we are going to present the whole truth. Even so, the Scriptures are also clear that
even the time of greatest darkness will be one of glory for the Lord’s people, as we see in Isaiah 60:1-
5:
Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the
LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.
And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your
sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in the arms.
Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the
abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.
At the very time that darkness is covering the earth and deep darkness the people, the glory of the
Lord will arise. This will cause the nations to turn to the Lord’s people with their abundance. In the end,
the church will become all she has been called to be—the pure, spotless bride of Christ. Then her light
will be even more brilliant against the backdrop of the darkness that will cover the earth.
The Gospel of Hope

In a recent prophetic experience, I found myself in the radar room of a warship, and the Lord was
standing right next to me. As I looked at the radar screen, a single, small blip appeared. It was straight
ahead and getting closer. Instinctively, I ordered the ship to turn to the right, but the blip stayed right in
front of us and kept getting closer. I then ordered the ship to turn to the left. The blip still appeared
directly in front of us, and was drawing closer. Finally, I braced for the impact. Nothing happened.
There was not even a jolt, and the blip was gone. I asked the Lord what this little blip had been. He
said that it was the great time of trouble. It is coming, and there is nothing we can do to avoid it.
However, it is only a little blip on the screen of all that He is about to do, and as long as we stand with
Him we will not even feel it. I was astonished, but I know this is true.
Against eternity, the entire great tribulation is but a tiny blip on the screen of all that God is doing.
Weighed against the awesome power of our God, the great time of trouble is not enough to even
register on the scale. Why do these consume so much of our attention? We do need to understand
coming troubles and be prepared for them, but by no means should the coming troubles dominate our
attention or our message. Our preparation for coming troubles is simple—we are to stand with Jesus.
There may be some practical things we can do, but if we are abiding in Him, we will have the wisdom
and understanding we need, when we need it. In order to abide in Him, we must prepare for any future
troubles in faith, not in fear. No other religion or philosophy in the world has a hope that can compare
to the hope we have been given for the age to come.
As I prayed for the wisdom to build our Moravian Falls community, the Lord gave me three basic
instructions. He said that He had designed the land for us, so we needed to build structures that would
fit into the landscape, and "not offend the land." He also said we needed to consider our neighbors,
because love does no harm to a neighbor. The Lord then said that what we build will need to last for a
thousand years! He said that we were to build with future generations in mind because He was
returning to reign over the earth, and we needed to build for the age to come, not the one that is
coming to an end.
We have received detailed plans in a number of dreams that will enable us to prepare for very specific
problems coming to our region. One thing we are not to do is hoard. Everything we do we are to do
with our neighbors in mind. We are not building a survival community, but a mission base. If we have a
storehouse, it is so we can help as many people as possible through future difficulties, whether it is
the great tribulation or not. How could Christians hoard anything if their neighbors were starving? We
are seeking the Lord for a very specific understanding of the coming troubles, but we are doing this
out of love, not fear.
Even so, we know that the Lord is about to judge the earth. As Paul wrote, "Behold then the
kindness and the severity of God" (Romans 11:22). God is both severe and merciful, and His
judgment will be both severe and merciful. It will be severe to those who resist Him and merciful to
those who seek Him. He is a righteous judge, and we can always depend on His fairness. All His
ways are perfect, and even His judgments are for redemptive purposes, as we read in the following
Scriptures:
But the LORD abides forever; He has established His throne for judgment,
And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples
with equity.
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble,
And those who know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for Thou, O LORD, hast not
forsaken those who seek Thee (Psalm 9:7-10).
Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns; indeed, the world is firmly established, it
will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity."
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the LORD, for He is coming; for He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge
the world in righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness (Psalm 96:10-13).
At night my soul longs for Thee, indeed, my spirit within me seeks Thee diligently; for
when the earth experiences Thy judgments the inhabitants of the world learn
righteousness (Isaiah 26:9).
The judgments of God are to be sought, not resisted. His judgments are always righteous, and always
exactly what we need. Many have a distorted view of His judgment, automatically assuming that it
means destruction. God’s judgments should never be feared by the godly, but they should be feared
by the ungodly. If we are living in obedience, we do not need to fear even the greatest times of trouble
that will come upon the earth.
The Glorious Hope

The message that the church has been entrusted with is a far more glorious hope than any utopia or
Age of Aquarius that the humanists or spiritualists have been able to come up with. Our message is
the kingdom of God. Like every great biblical truth that is the foundation of our trust in God, this one
has come under a major assault of the enemy. His diabolical strategy has been to blur the truth,
weaken our faith, and cloud the message. The Lord is about to make the truth clear, strengthen our
faith, and release the true gospel of the kingdom which will have power to dispel even the enemy’s
thickest clouds of darkness.
The message Jesus preached was not the gospel of salvation, although that was contained in His
message. Neither was His message about the church. In all of His messages He only made a few
brief references to the church. His message was the kingdom, and this is the message we have been
given to preach. This does not belittle the importance of our salvation, nor negate the high place of the
church in His plan. However, the message of the kingdom is bigger than these. Great truths are
included in the message of the kingdom, but they are never intended to eclipse it.
The message of the kingdom is essentially one basic, but all encompassing truth—Jesus is the King!
He reigns, and His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom. When He returns to set up His kingdom
on the earth, He will not just do away with war: He will bring the whole creation into such harmony that
the lion will lie down with the lamb, and children will be able to safely play with cobras. No man or
beast will do harm to another in the kingdom. Not only will sickness and disease be removed from the
earth, but even death will have been abolished. The nations will drink from the River of Life, and eat
the fruit of the Tree of Life.
The following are just a few of the Scriptures that reveal the nature of His coming kingdom:
For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on
His shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal
Father, Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of
David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and
righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will
accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7).
Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear
fruit.
And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.
And He will delight in the fear of the LORD, and He will not judge by what His eyes see,
nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
But with righteousness He will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted
of the earth; and He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath
of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, and faithfulness the belt about His
waist.
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the
calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them.
Also the cow and the bear will graze; their young will lie down together; and the lion will
eat straw like the ox.
And the nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put
his hand on the viper’s den.
They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the
knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Then it will come about in that day that the nations will resort to the root of Jesse, who
will stand as a signal for the peoples, and His resting place will be glorious (Isaiah 11:1-
10).
And he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of
God and of the Lamb,
in the middle of its street. And on either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing
twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations.
And there shall no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be
in it, and His bond-servants shall serve Him;
and they shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
And there shall no longer be any night; and they shall not have need of the light of a
lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God shall illumine them; and they shall
reign forever and ever.
And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the
spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which
must shortly take place (Revelation 22:1-6).
If we are going to have the true message of the kingdom, it must contain both the kindness and the
severity of God. When the Lord comes to set up His kingdom, He will destroy both wickedness and
the wicked who do not repent of their ways. He is coming to bring peace, but He is also coming with a
rod of iron to strike the nations. In the true message of the kingdom, both the Lion and the Lamb must
be included.
The darkest and coldest time of night is just before the dawn. For a little while, it may get colder and
darker, but then the day of the Lord will surely dawn. There will be no more mourning, no more pain, no
more hunger and no more disease. No child on earth will ever again be abused, and no one will ever
again try to injure or defraud a neighbor. Truth will prevail over every lie, and love will prevail over the
whole earth. Our glorious King will return. His kingdom is coming, and He will perform His will on earth
as it is in heaven.
We are getting closer to the greatest times of trouble the world has ever known. However, we must
see the light that lies beyond the darkness. In the midst of the time of darkness, we will know that the
time of our redemption is getting closer. Then it will be even more important for us to walk in the light,
pointing to the light that is coming. As we read in the text from Isaiah 60, it is when the darkness is
covering the earth that the glory of the Lord appears on His people. His glory is not just coming upon
us so we can look good! His glory will appear upon us because we will be living in the reality of the
age to come, experiencing His glory that is to come.
The greatest hope the Lord gave us in His kingdom was that it was "at hand" (Mark 1:15). This
means that those who hear and believe Him can live in His kingdom now! Even though we walk on the
earth, we are also seated with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). The miracles He
performed were evidence that the kingdom was available to any who could see it by faith. When He
cast out demons He said, "But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of
God has come upon you" (Matthew 12:28).
The last trumpet, or message, in the Book of Revelation is, "The kingdom of the world has
become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever"
(Revelation 11:15b). The message of the kingdom will be preached by those who live in the reality
and power of His kingdom now. We do not wait for the millennium for Jesus to reign over us. His
kingdom is already "at hand."
Those who have the Holy Spirit of God have more power abiding in them than in all of the demons
combined. We are not to be ignorant of the devil or his schemes, but we do not need to fear the devil,
or anything that he will try to do. When we walk in the light, the demons fear us. John wrote:
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has
come in the flesh is from God;
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the {spirit} of
the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the
world.
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who
is in you than he who is in the world (I John 4:1-4).
It is easy to distinguish the true from the false. Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, but is of the
antichrist. As John stated in the text above, we have already overcome the antichrist if we know Jesus. We must also be
aware that our gospel will cease to be true to the degree that we compromise the centrality of Jesus. Even heaven would
not be heaven unless He was there. Our hope is in the King, not just the kingdom. Satan will try to offer all the elements
of the kingdom of God without Jesus, which is the essence of the New Age Movement. Our message of the kingdom is
that Jesus is King!
Words from Bob Jones

The following words are from a conversation I had with Bob Jones on February 17, 1998. I tried
to write them just as he said them. —Rick Joyner
Our Anger Will Be Turned to Love

One of the main things the Lord is dealing with in the church right now is unresolved anger. This must
be dealt with so that we can experience true renewal. If you’re wounded and unhealed, you’re infected,
and you’ll spread the infection. If you are wounded and you get healed, you will have affection.
Whenever we are wounded, we need to press on until we are completely healed. We will know this
has happened when we have affection for those who have wounded us. After the Lord has dealt with
our anger, we will begin to have true communion. Then the gospel will go to the poor. The poor are
called to be rich in faith, and these are God’s treasures. The church is going to soon have God’s heart
for the poor, and we will fill up every vehicle that we have bringing them in.
The Earth Is Angry

The earth itself is angry, and is about to spew out its anger with fire. One of the reasons why the
church needs to be healed of her anger is so that we can stand in the gap for people. When the Lord
revealed to Amos that He was about to send fire upon Israel and consume the land, Amos stood in the
gap and entreated the Lord for mercy (see Amos 7:4-6). Then the Lord changed His mind and
showed mercy. The Lord wants His people to stand in the gap for their cities and countries. As His
children, we have authority with God and we can lessen the destruction out of the judgments that are
coming. Love will stop a lot of destruction.
Rain and Wind

I still do not see an end to the rains that are coming (Bob began to prophesy that great rains were
coming over a year ago. In October he was again told that "hard rain" is coming, even as much as 50
inches in short periods of time to some areas). I also see wind being added to the rain. These are not
just whirlwinds like tornados and hurricanes, but straight winds as well, and they will do great damage.
Somehow the rain is preparing for the fire that is to come.
The Dangerous War

Pray that we will not go to war with Iraq. I do not understand it all, but the Lord said He was not going
out with our armies this time. (This does not mean that we cannot be successful in achieving military
goals, but this war is not God’s will.) In some way, Iraq is more righteous than the United States in this.
This war is very dangerous. It can escalate. We need to pray for President Clinton. He does not have
wise counselors, and he is doing things out of frustration. The church has started praying for him, and
a lot of things are happening as the result of these prayers. We need to continue. We are coming to
some very dangerous times, and this war with Iraq is very dangerous.
The Revelation
The prophets are about to start getting the revelation of Jesus Christ, which also means an understanding of The Book of
Revelation. We still do not have God’s understanding of this book, but it is about to come; it’s time and we’re going to
need it.
Answers
to Frequently Asked Questions
This section contains my answers to some of the most frequently asked questions I receive.
Many of these questions deserve a much more extensive answer than I can give here, so
please keep that in mind.
—Rick Joyner
ARE WE GOING TO BE SELLING LOTS, CABINS AND HOMES IN MORAVIAN FALLS?
Yes. There will be some conditions since this is not intended to be just a Christian community, but a
ministry base. We therefore can only sell to those whose purpose for having property here fits with the
vision of the community. If you would like additional information, please write or fax our office, but we
ask that only serious potential buyers inquire at this time.
ARE WE GOING TO HAVE

ADVANCED PROPHETIC CONFERENCES?
Yes. The April conference will be a level above the previous ones in the depth of teaching and
training. We feel we need to use this one to build a "bridge" for crossing over into more in-depth
conferences. The bridge that we are seeking to build is to link the prophetic more strongly to the
evangelistic, teaching and pastoral ministries.
The next level of training will involve using the prophetic gifts in evangelism, working with pastors in
counseling, and as watchmen. This also involves a greater depth of vision, dream interpretation, and
application. To do this we must have strong relationships with the other equipping ministries of the
church. Our goal is not just teaching about prophetic gifts, or even releasing people into their gifts or
ministry, but to enable them to have an effective ministry for the building up of the body of Christ. We
believe that the highest levels of the prophetic gifts can only function in harmony with the other
ministries given to the church.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO BE PREPARED FOR THE

COMING ECONOMIC TROUBLES?
This is probably the most frequently asked question that I receive, and it is usually in relation to an
impending economic collapse that many feel is coming. I am not an authority on the economy, nor an
investment counselor, but I will share some of what I believe the Lord has instructed me to do.
1) Abide in the Lord. Seek to know His voice and follow Him. If we do not give much more
attention to Him than we do to taking care of our belongings, we are going to make serious mistakes,
regardless of our knowledge of the economy, or what is coming.
2) Obey the Scriptures about giving. If we have not been obedient in this area, we are building our
houses on sand, and when the storm comes, our houses will fall.
3) Do not let fear control your investment decisions because "Whatever is not from faith is
sin" (Romans 14:23). Faith works through love, not fear (Galatians 5:6). Make decisions based on
faith and vision. When the world falls apart, those who know the Lord are going to be building with a
vision for the future.
4) Trust that the Lord will give specific instructions when they are needed. However, we cannot
expect more guidance if we are not obedient in what He has already clearly given us in His Word, or
in previous instructions.
WHAT IS A CULT?
"Cult" is a powerful word which is often overused or misused, causing it to lose its effect. There are a
multitude of cults that can be identified by the common elements which cults share, but first we need to
understand the origin, evolution, and present meaning of the word.
The word "cult" is derived from the word "culture." The first group in history to be called a cult was the
first-century Christians. This was because their lifestyle represented a different culture. When the
Roman Empire officially became Christian, and Christianity was institutionalized, any new group or
movement that was not a part of the institutional church was considered a cult, and was persecuted.
The first Protestants were considered cults by Catholics. Many of the first evangelical and Baptist
movements were later called cults by the Protestants. At one time, Pentecostals and Charismatics
were considered cults by Evangelicals and Baptists. Today all of these are considered mainstream
movements within Christianity. Every new movement that has helped to restore to the church truth that
was lost during the Middle Ages has been initially called a cult by the previous movements, which had
by then become institutionalized.
Webster’s defines a cult as "a group or system of religious worship." Other definitions are, "a system
of religious observances, extravagant devotion to a person, cause or thing," or "a group of persons
having an excessive interest in something." These are still ambiguous definitions that could be
applied to almost any congregation of true Christians who are zealous for the Lord. The word "cult" is
also still mis-applied to groups who have minor doctrinal differences or practices that deviate from
what some may consider normal, but by no means should mark them as a cult.
It is now generally accepted by most church leaders that a group should only be called a cult if they
have made a clear departure from the basic Christian doctrines or practices. One characteristic that
seems to generally (but not always) apply to cults is that they usually follow just one prophet or teacher.
This is why many cults began as genuine Christian groups, but became eccentric when they grew
overly devoted to a human leader, or excessively devoted to a single doctrine which they allowed to
eclipse the centrality of Christ.
In the groups I have studied that ended up as cults, or which made serious deviations from sound
biblical doctrine or practice, there was usually a basic sin that entered into the group, such as adultery.
When this sin was rationalized and justified, the authority of Scripture lost its power for that group.
Then the leader typically began to supplant Scripture as the basis for doctrine and behavior. As this
happened, deviations became more extreme.
HOW DOES A GROUP WITH A STRONG IDENTITY

AVOID BECOMING A CULT?
I believe there are a number of safeguards that can help to keep us on the path of life. They are:
1) Keep the first commandment first—love God above all things. Nowhere does the Scripture
warn us about those who are not properly joined to the body of Christ: The warning is to beware of
those who do not hold fast to the Head (Colossians 2:19).
2) Keep the second great commandment of loving your neighbor, but never let it eclipse the
first commandment. Deception begins when we start loving anything or anyone more than God,
even the things that are His, such as the church, a doctrine or ministry. However, because true
Christians will be known by their love for one another (John 13:35), when we stop loving each other,
we have departed from the path.
3) "Christ is the head of every man" (I Corinthians 11:3). The purpose of the ministries given to
the church is to equip all members to fulfill their own calling and destiny in Christ. Every believer must
know the Lord’s voice, have a solid foundation in sound biblical doctrine, and "have his own well,"
which is a devotion to know the Lord and to search the Scriptures to confirm what is taught. This is the
foundational Christian truth of the priesthood of all believers. The only way we can protect this crucial
biblical freedom is to practice it.
4) We must guard against the delusion that we are more special than any other part of the
body of Christ. If we boast, let us boast in the Lord, not ourselves. "Therefore it says, ‘God is
opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble’" (James 4:6). "Do nothing from
selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another
as more important than himself" (Philippians 2:3).
5) Remain open to correction from other leaders of the body of Christ. Those who say that they
will only get their correction from God have already made a serious departure from sound biblical
practice and the humility that is required to stay on the path of life. The Lord has almost always
brought correction to His people through His people. This can be difficult because many who try to
bring correction to the church do not have the authority as true leaders in the church, and they often
have serious problems themselves. Even so, if we are not committed to remaining open for correction
through others, we will almost certainly end up in extremes.
ARE THE MASONS A CULT?
Many Christian leaders and former members of the Masons do consider them to be a cult. I personally
believe that any organization that has secret rituals and oaths should be avoided by Christians. Satan
dwells in darkness, and we are called to dwell in the light. If something has to be hidden, there is
usually a reason that is not good.
We must also consider that when trying to discern the nature of any group, it is not fair to judge them
by their most extreme elements. Historians have linked some of the most tragic and diabolical events
to the Masons, such as the French and Bolshevik Revolutions. However, even though the plans for
carrying out these revolutions can be traced to high-ranking Masons, it seems that the extremes that
the revolutions went to were not the intentions of these people, but were the result of their plans having
gone seriously awry. It is also very hard to make a clear link to establish that these plans were the
policy of the Masonic Order, or were simply those of individuals who happened to be Masons.
The Masons have also had some noble accomplishments in history, and a number of the American
founding fathers were Masons, including George Washington. The Masons are also responsible for
many effective charities.
Almost every cult, sect or deviant group can be traced to a void created by the church not fulfilling her
ministry. The ranks of the Masons tend to swell after each war because men are used to having a
depth of male comradery during war that they cannot find anywhere else when they return home,
including in the church. This is one reason for the popularity of movements like the Promise Keepers,
which I think God has given to the church to help fill this void in men. Women also need comradery
with each other, which they have been able to find within the church, or church programs, more easily
than men.
We do need to understand the Masons and warn Christians about any group that has serious
deviations or counterfeits. However, I think we should spend even more energy on filling the voids in
our church ministries that enable such groups to become attractive. When the church is delivered from
her bondage to her own walls and starts to march like the army she is called to be, men will flock to
her. In Scripture, one of the most frequent names used by the Lord is "the Lord of hosts," or "Lord
of armies." This is because there is a marshall aspect to His nature, and this a part of His nature with
which men tend to identify.
A NOTE ON THE ORIGIN OF THE MASONS:
Masons generally claim that they are the spiritual decedents of the builders of Solomon’s temple.
However, the true origin of the Masons is considered by most to be the Catholic order known as The
Knights Templar, or Knights of the Temple, that was founded in the Middle Ages. This order eventually
became so rich and powerful that it was considered a threat to the authority of both the pope and
kings. The pope renounced the order and instigated a persecution against it, claiming that these
knights had become worshipers of the occult. This drove the order underground, forcing it to develop
secret codes and rituals for the recognition of their members.
Some historians believe that the pope’s persecution was unjustified, and is what actually drove the
order into the secrecy and practices that eventually took on forms of the occult. Others believe that
these practices were, in fact, the reason for the persecution. Either way, many of the rituals of the
Masons are now considered by many Christian leaders to be occult practices. The basic Masonic
vows are also in conflict with our basic Christian doctrine.
IS THE ORDER OF ST. JOHN (POPULARLY KNOWN AS

"THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA") RELATED TO THE MASONS?
No. They are sometimes confused with the Knights Templar, even by historians, because they both
came into existence in the same period, and were both originally chivalrous and military orders within
the church. However, the Order of St. John has remained a distinctly Christian order devoted to the
defense of the Christian faith, Christian unity and Christian charity. Neither do the Knights of Malta
have any secret rituals, vows or practices. After the Crusades, the Knights Templar and the Knights of
Malta took divergent courses.
The Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta is still recognized as a sovereign
order having its diplomatic center in Malta. It is considered by some to be the only true international
registry of nobility still in existence. It has remained intact as a Christian order for over 900 years and
its vows center on serving the Lord Jesus Christ, defending Christian unity, and serving "our lords, the
poor and the oppressed." It is considered by many to be the only true chivalrous order remaining.
In some ways, the history of the Order of St. John is an amazing parallel to the history of the church
since the Middle Ages. It has at times risen to be one of the great examples of true Christian nobility
and charity. It also experienced military victories of almost biblical stature. Then, for periods of time, it
would seem to be nothing more than a noblemen’s club that knights belonged to so that they could
pass their titles on to their children. There were periods when the Order of St. John fell into a
debauchery that would embarrass any true nobleman or lady. A few times it seemed on the verge of
disappearing altogether, but then it would experience a spiritual revival and rise to new heights.
Now there is a Protestant/Evangelical/Ecumenical Order (which is known as the "Sovereign Order")

and a Catholic Order. The Sovereign Order has been significantly revitalized in recent years. With little
or no fanfare, its knights have been instrumental in important world affairs, and have done much to
keep the Christian faith alive in nations under communist domination, or other places where
Christianity is persecuted. Some of these knights must be secretive about their roles in these affairs
because of the sensitive nature of them, and for the protection of persecuted believers. However, this
has nothing to do with secret beliefs or practices.
There have also been a host of splinter groups and outright imposters which claim to be the Knights of
Malta, and have no connection to the Sovereign Order or the Catholic Order. Some of these do have
questionable doctrines and practices. Just as the whole church usually takes the blame for the actions
of its most extreme elements, even those who are not true Christians, some naively consider these
splinter groups to be a reflection of all who claim to be knights of the Order of St. John. Even so, when
I asked the present leader of the Sovereign Order about these other groups, he was magnanimous,
saying that those who do the deeds of true knights and ladies and are genuine Christians should be
recognized.
For additional information about the Knights of Malta, you may wish to read a booklet I have written
entitled Courage that Changed the World which is available through MorningStar.
WHAT DO I MEAN WHEN I SAY THAT

CHRISTIANITY IS ABOUT TO BE REDEFINED?
I am not the first, or the only one to say this, but I can only speak for myself with this answer. As is true
of any prophetic word, I too "see through a glass, darkly" (I Corinthians 13:12 KJV). My
impression of what I saw coming was that there would be such a sweeping return to biblical
Christianity that the very understanding of Christianity, by both the world and the church, will be
changed.
This does not imply any kind of doctrinal change as to what it means to be a Christian, but a change
that causes us to live by the truths we proclaim. This will be reflected when we truly become known by
our love for one another. The change will be so profound that it will cause a great esteem for
Christianity around the world. When we really become Christlike, the world will be drawn to us as it is
to Him when He is truly lifted up. However, I do not feel that this will eliminate persecution against
Christians, because those in power will become either jealous or intimidated by it, just as they were by
the Lord’s own popularity with the people.

I Will Multiply
Lance Wallnau
Detroit Prophetic Meeting - July 14, 1998
I hear the Lord say, don't look at the little that you have in your hand. Don't look at the little that you see. For you take
what you have in your hand and give it unto Me, says the Lord, and I will multiply. I will break; I will bless; I will divide,
and I will scatter this. I will send it forth. I will multiply it. I will fill you with baskets overflowing with abundance. Do not let
your soul be discouraged or distressed or be weary any longer, says the Spirit of Grace. For little that you have in the
hand of the Lord is much and is sufficient. And I'm going to take today the bread of life and multiply it. And though it be
just enough to feed you to your own satisfaction, the Spirit of the Lord says, it shall increase and increase and increase.
For no longer do I desire to see a people who come so that they can have their need met, but I'd rather see, says the
Spirit of Grace, a people whose needs are met who are equipped to go and meet the needs of others. So, I am going to
give unto you miracle ability to work with whatever you have in your hand and multiply it. To work with whatever the
situation is and multiply it. To work with whatever limitation you're working under, and submitting it unto Me, I shall
multiply it and make abundance come out of that which is meager in resources. The Spirit of God is speaking that there
are baskets full, twelve baskets full of overflowing evidence that God's government and provision is complete. The Spirit of
the Lord says, no longer look at what you have in your hand, but look to the hand to which you are committing it. For I'm
about to create greater sufficiency out of what you've had than you've ever seen before.
I'm going to multiply talent, multiply resources, multiply perception, multiply anointing, multiply ability, multiply
opportunity. A multiplying spirit is coming upon you. For the enemy who has sought you and the enemy who has vexed
you has said that surely, except that the Lord move we shall have them. But I have been even moving in the hidden meal.
I've been hidden in the jar so to speak. And the leaven that is of Holy Ghost is filling this jar. And I'm going to cause there
to be a supply, that in this month and in the month that follows and into the month of September, there's going to be a
reversing of you moving from a survival position to a superabundant position in the spirit. It begins on the inside, in the
hidden place of the heart. It begins on the inside of the vessel. But this vessel shall be filled unto overflowing. For you will
have enough to take care of yourself and greater indeed to take care of others. I'm going to make you a resource to the
world, says the Spirit of Grace.

My Beloved Bride
Cory Bakker
Prophetic Word Aug.29/98
You are My beloved bride, and all that I ask is that you listen to My voice, and believe that which I speak. You cannot be
tossed to and fro any longer My beloved. You must walk by faith. I am calling you to step out, and step in, and remain in
my Presence. No more turning away from me. Hold up that shield, and don't be afraid to come to me. Have I not made
the way?
Have I not given you the righteousness that you so long for. You cry out for Me to change you, but children you are only
changed in My Presence. It is the enemies desire to keep you out. Don't be ashamed to come to Me. I have not rejected
you and will never reject you as long as your heart is open to Me. Walk with Me, believe that I am beside you. Don't turn
to the left or the right, and don't turn away when opposition comes. I am your righteousness. I AM your righteousness.
Every one who assails you, you will condemn. Every weapon that comes against you is turned back. Not one thing will
stand before Me, for all will fall. I am your strength, and your life.
Come to Me and be changed in My Presence, the changes that are forever. There is where you become like Me, in My
presence. I have said that My presence will go before you, this is to guide you in the way you should go, in doing My
work, and so you must know Me better, much better, and become much more of Me. Then will My glory be your rear
guard. Then will the nations see the brightness of My glory on you. Then will the kings come to you, to the brightness of
your light, which light is Me. You become light in My Presence, only there.
So let nothing keep you away. For the day is coming and is here when you WILL dwell in My Presence. So let not your
hearts be troubled, or afraid. For your King will come and is even now leading you home. We will dance together in our
place and you will rejoice like never before. I have placed the cloak upon you, and many will turn away at it's appearance,
but many will see the glory upon the hidden armor underneath, and desire to learn what I have taught you. Learn also of
them for they are mine and I love them with my life, just as I have loved you. You will learn from them, as you have
learned from Me because I reside in them. You know My voice, but don't become offended in your flesh when I seek to
sharpen you through My servants. For they too have a burden that I have placed on them, and they burn inside to spread
the fire that is within them. Let it come to you for this is My fire and it is refining you to be tested and approved to be
more worthy than gold. No one is greater than their brother, and I have not given greater truth to one than the other, and
you are not alone, for I have called many and many have come. Listen to them, and learn from them and let them do their
part as you desire to please me in doing yours. My chosen ones, this is the day, the day of visitation and I draw nearer
to you with each passing moment that you call time. From where I sit, it is all finished, and I see you shining brighter
than the stars.
And I say of My Presence, At My presence all the world shakes like a shack. At My Presence the mountains fall down,
and the hills melt like wax. At My Presence all things are seen for the things that they are. In My Presence you will learn
not be haughty or proud. Then you will fulfill my words to you to love one another even as I love you. Then you will hear
me in those I send to you.

Speak of my Mercy
Bob Neuman
"As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so shall I be around My people. My people look unto My mountain for their help
in the midst of their trouble. And to those who trust in Me, I am faithful in all things. But there are many who freely speak
My Name; yet I know not! They proclaim knowledge and intimacy that is not for they look to themselves and not to Me.
Each of them has their own high place to burn their incense; to make their sacrifices. What authority they espouse, what
power they acknowledge comes not from My mountain. It is not of Me."
"There comes a Day when all will see their folly, but before that day I will move against them. For too long I have been
still, calling them to repent and to be saved. But they will not hear My voice, nor the words of My servants when I have
sent unto them. So the Day approaches where all that they place their trust, all where they seek strength and power will
be before Me. Every mountain that is against Me I shall bring down. Every stronghold that stands against Me shall melt
as wax before Me."
"For I Am. I will not allow their arrogance to continue. For long have they done what is 'right' in their own eyes. They do
not lift their eyes to Me when they speak of their Savior, their Deliverer, their God. Because they look elsewhere, and
smile to themselves."
"For too long I have suffered fools and mockers who know Me not, yet speak of Me easily. Their words are sweet and
smooth to ears who desire less than the truth. Yes, My son--they know of Me. Of My love and mercy. But not of My
justice or wrath. They speak words of My glory and My holiness and understand nothing of what they describe. Boldly do
they speak and act, saying they do so in My Name, but all they do is by their will."
"Hear My Words, child! Who is like unto Me! Yet they fear Me not, nor do they concern themselves towards Me. For this
reason I shall move against them. All that bears mention of Me, yet is not of Me I will bring down. All that stands against
Me will be destroyed. All who banter My name and look to their own strength shall surely fall. They have placed their
trust in wealth and in power. Soon their wealth will be useless and their power drained away."
"Know this, that in the midst of this judgement, most shall not repent and seek My mercy. But there will be some who
shall find Me. These are who you will minister to. Many will be broken and bound by their own religiosity. Speak of My
mercy and My holiness, My love and My glory. They will listen to the truth, for all else will have been brought down in
their lives."

For My Names Sake

by Bill Hernandez
I am the Lord and I see all and know all. I am not mocked and abhor all unrighteousness. I will not tolerate sin in the
body. Neither will I allow it to continue. For My names sake I cleanse and purify the body. For My names sake I raise it
up to a new man. I will be heard and will not tolerate disobedience and I will not allow My plans and My ways to be
frustrated. I will establish My rule and no matter how hard you try to bend My will even just a little, I am the rock that
cannot be bent or moved from My purposes. I have drawn a straight line and it will not be shifted. Try as you may and I
will answer you with this: The destruction and annihilation of your designs.
How long, oh sons, will you push against Me? How long will you deny your living God? How I long to bring you into rest
and to see you be content in My pleasant ways. Know this that I honor obedience and yieldedness, but I turn away from
stubbornness and pride. You just cannot have your way with Me. I will not yield.
I am coming in a way you never suspected. And I am coming with a final onslaught of My warnings. Will you not
recognize that I am in control? And will you not recognize that I have the best for you? I would give you calm waters and
pleasant breezes of love. I would cover you with restful sleep. All your sufferings and pains and anxieties are your doings
and strivings. For what soul could rest that opposes Me? Push against a granite wall and it will not move. Press against
an immovable object and it will tire you. Rally all you resources against a mountain and still it will not move, but you will
have spent your strength on vanity. Yield and I will yield. Flow with Me and I will flow with you. Dance with Me and I will
dance with you.

My Vision of God
Mary Owens
In 1986 I had these visions.. There is a difference in God and Jesus. I was reading the brothers vision of God and know
what he means.[Larry Randolph’s Vision of God] It's the greatness and holiness of God we humans do not KNOW!!!!
I had two visions of Jesus during this time.
One of the visions was a transport type. I was transported back in time. I WAS THERE. I was actually there at that time
and saw Jesus fall beneath the cross as He carried it up to be crucified. I was allowed to know His feelings. At the point
when He fell, He did not have the physical strength to step another step. He mustered all the physical strength that he
possessed to take that last step when carrying the cross, and could not physically take another step. The scene was
darkened and I couldn't make out the features well enough to describe Him well, but his hair was stringy and matted and
hung down and sort of semi-covered his face.
The second vision that I had of Jesus was in a night vision. I was asleep. His Spirit crossed my spirit, just as two people
would pass each other walking slowly down a sidewalk toward one another. I was allowed to know his personality. His
presence was so wonderful that I cried for several days after this vision because He had passed by in only a few
seconds. I begged Him to come back for a long time after that.. What made Him so wonderful was He was totally
surrendered to the will of God. He had no will of His own. I tried to think of an English word to describe Him. He was so
wonderful. I really couldn't find a word except the word "wonderful". It will be glorious to be in His presence for eternity. I
know many people will not comprehend what I'm saying about this presence of Jesus. There is a Bible verse that comes
to mind. I think John says it best in John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John is trying here to show the specialness
of Jesus' person, being embodied with grace and glory. The presence of God was so strong in our house when all this
was going on that once our house literally shook. I thought we were in an earthquake. One of my teen age sons felt it as
he sat in the living room watching TV.
My next vision was an open vision. I was completely awake and you will have a harder time believing this one, but it's
true. When I first saw God. I thought. I am the only person in history that has seen God and lived. This vision drove me to
study the scriptures and I discovered That there were times that people of the Bible saw God, and there are several, it is
referred to in today's language as Anthropomorphic appearances, because scholars cannot justify what seems to be
contradictions in the Bible. There are no contradictions. It's just a misunderstanding of the words translated see or seen.
The Bible says that no man hath seen God at any time, The proper definition of that word seen in that passage is to look
at with understanding. There have been several people in the Bible that have seen God, and a man in the Welsh revival
era name Evans Roberts saw God. After reading the story of Evans Roberts, I know that we saw the same thing with a
different slant. His experience was good. Mine was bad. I was very close to God. I had married him and felt like I was His
most beloved, privileged child, but God had to teach me a very valuable lesson that would do me for my entire life. I didn't
have the right esteem for Jesus. God allowed me to see Him with me thinking of my own closeness to Himself without
the blood of Jesus covering me...superstupid of me, I now know, thank God....
I was lying in my bed on my side facing the west wall of my bedroom toward the backyard. My bedroom was in the front
of the house and there were two other bedrooms on this side of the house, plus the basement stairway and the back
outside wall of the house, so when God opened my spiritual eyes. I saw through four walls. In the backyard there was a
very large poplar tree, and it's leaves turned and fluttered in the breeze. I think it was the Holy Spirit or the back parts that
Moses saw, that I also saw. I studied it later and I believe that is what I was allowed to see. He surrounded me. I had the
covers pulled up to my neck. It was winter and cool. Power exuded from Him in the form of what I could best describe as
sparks that burst out from a sparkler. These sparks touched me and pricked my face. It pricked most on my eyelids,
because that skin was more sensitive there. I would not have known that my eyes were shut except for this pricking.
He scrutinized me. He knew everything about my thoughts, my entire being.. I was totally helpless. I cannot
overemphasize that. TOTAL helplessness. It's hard for a person to imagine total helplessness. But, in the presence of
almighty power, you are totally helpless. I am reminded of these scriptures that states, Heb 4:13 Neither is there any
creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have
to do. We are totally naked before Him. Also that a man in the New Testament that was speechless. These scriptures
now have a deeper meaning for me. You won't be able to speak. Everything is exposed and you cannot say anything. No
excuses or cover ups or defense.
My spiritual eyes were opened. God kept going. He surrounded every leaf on that poplar tree. If one of those leaves fell to
the ground it disturbed Him as it passed through Him and He knew it. The scripture came to life. Not even a sparrow fall
to the ground without His notice." He surrounded everything. He kept going and I kept looking for the end of Him, and I
could see out beyond the moon, then the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd planet of our solar system and then my spiritual eyesight
stopped and I couldn't see any further and God was still going. The Bible says that He fills all things. So I guess there is
no end to Him.
I will tell you how I felt in the presence of God. I found out what the word "utterly" meant. You think you know what the
word "utterly" means, but you really don't. I was utterly terrified. God is Holy and Omniscient and Omnipotent. Those are
the attributes that I experienced. He's holier than you can imagine and He's smarter than you can imagine. and He's a lot
more powerful and bigger and everything. HE IS EVERYTHING.. I know what the scripture is saying when God says that
His name is I AM THAT I AM...He is...I can't say this enough. He is everything. He is everything...
I came away from this experience with one unanswered question. It is this. How could satan think that he could rebel
from God? How can you get away from God? I learned something of satan through this vision that I have never heard
mentioned before, and it is this. Satan is insane. He isn't just mean as we think of it. His person is twisted and warped
and insane. Defective.
I fear God with everything in my being, saying. Master what would you have me to do?
I had the loving presence of God, "His Holy Spirit" on the inside of me but, when I was in awareness in the presence of
God, after about 2 seconds, I would start to be so undone I would be about to completely come apart, and then the
sweet presence of the Holy Spirit would move on the inside of me and I would be soothed so that I would seem to come
back together. This happened several times. I would be at a point of flying apart and then the sweet Holy Spirit on the
inside of me would move and soothe me, much like stroking a cat and calming it. I believe that if I had not had the
presence of the Holy Spirit on the inside of me that I could not have endured the presence of God.
God was in a constant state of restraint to keep from consuming me. It wasn't that He wanted to destroy me, but I was
an unclean thing and He was Holy and that is just the way it was. That is just a fact like the laws of nature. If there is one
person on the face of this green earth that knows this, it is me. There is "NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD OF JESUS" going
to stand for you. I feel so sorry for anyone leaving this life and entering the presence of God with anything but that
BLOOD. I especially feel sorry for the Jehovah Witnesses or Mormons or any works oriented sects. If they could see,
They would begin to elevate JESUS and elevate JESUS' BLOOD.
This restraint that He exercised was His own power against Himself. He is now as I write this down, in this same posture
right now, that He has been ever since the fall of man. A constant effort of restraint to keep from destroying us. He is
restraining Himself every second of the time right now as I write to keep from destroying mankind not covered by that
Blood. It's a constant, incessant effort for Him to protect sinful man. My puny efforts to describe this are so far beneath
my vocabulary of our language. But I'm trying. I bought my son a toy for Christmas one year. A little motorcycle that was
restrained by a devise and then you pumped up the power mechanism to a certain point. Then you flipped a trigger and
the motorcycle was catapulted out at a fast speed. God is restraining himself like that or as a jet plane is restrained on a
carrier before it is released for take off. Another scripture came to life. It is because of His great mercy that we are not
consumed. And also the scripture in Exodus 19:22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify
themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

My Will Be Done
Bill Hernandez
I am the Lord and I will have My way. And I will frustrate the plans of all who oppose My will. My will is life and
blessing for all. My will is wisdom that brings peace. My will is power that establishes My church. I truly am in
control and I am always right. Your will and wisdom will be overturned for My namesake and as a sign of mercy for
all. For the desire of your heart for unity and peace is forged in My heart. I weep with joy over this desire that's in
you. What you long for, I'm bringing to you regardless of how strongly the world fights against it and regardless of
how strongly your flesh resists it. Greater am I.
Yes, I will overturn tables and houses and yes, what seems like chaos will ensue. But remember that I am building a
new church out of what I tear to pieces. And in this new church there shall be no arguments or posturing over who
knows best. In the light of My knowledge, your wisdom and ways of doing things is foolish and naive. But I do not
hold this against you because as a father who regards his beloved, unlearned child, so I regard you. And I will teach
you My ways and add to the good things you already know. Be prepared with humility to let go of traditions and
philosophies of ministry that cloud love, mercy and unity. Be prepared to mourn and weep over your old ways. For
I am bringing repentance and when repentance is complete, the walls between you will crumble like so much rubble
without the mortar of fear and pride. The old ways of communing and fellowshipping and breaking bread together
will be re-established. Will the body of My Son be divided? Never again.
There are some who in the stubbornness of their hearts will not find rest in the communion of saints, but pray that all
will be unified. Pray fervently that even the stubborn will melt before Me in humility and accept this great and
glorious gift that I offer to all who would accept it.
I did not pour out My blood in vain and I always intended that all believers would be one. To be a believer is to be
one. To live otherwise is a contradiction of who I am and what I give to the world. Be healed of your contradictions.
Fall before Me, the gracious head and author of your faith. Wait upon Me and let Me design our house.
Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it…
I Cor 1:10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree,
and there be no division among you, but you be made complete in the same mind and in the same
judgment.

My Winds Are Blowing

by Priscilla Van Sutphin
Given to me 10-24-96 0110
I will make the food to rot in their stomachs for those who have glutted themselves despite the haunting needs of those
who are desperate and hungry. For they are hungry for more than food. THEY ARE HUNGRY FOR ME !!!!
Even a TV show as desolate as Jay Leno's ( I had watched him interviewing people on the streets to see if they knew the
ten commandments. Hardly anyone did and then he came back in the studio and said, "We need to pray for those
people because they're all going to hell !") exposes the needs of this nation and mocks their ignorance, yet My people
SIT satiated in their own homes, devoid of pity for the poor and needy. Their APATHY and COMPLACENCY are a stench
in my nostrils, and like the children of Israel in the desert, they dare to complain before Me, as if They had no means of
their own to help the poor. They complain like heartless guttersnipes about the lazy, the homeless, and desperate, yet
won't lift their hands to help them themselves.
When I lift Myself up, THEY WILL TREMBLE and they will no longer laugh heartlessly, but will be ashamed and cringe at
their own shame.
For surely life's hardships command compassion to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Surely the clatter of
their cries comes to Me and it breaks my heart that there are few who cry out for them, no one who stands up for them,
no one who opens their heart to them, but most close their eyes and push them away from their heart so as not to feel
the pain. SO MANY unhealed lives and SO FEW to soften their pain and grief. !!!
Surely My name will be made a praise in the earth. I will reveal My name to them and many will come to the brightness
of My glory.
Fear not little flock, for Your King will come to you and to those who ARE found faithful, will I reveal Myself through.
THE WINDS ARE BLOWING more than dust and ash around. My winds are blowing and I will separate the wheat from
the chaff and My house will be filled with MY GLORY!!!
And the earth will TREMBLE at My presence, and they will KNOW that I AM LORD!!! Behold the earth quakes before ME
and righteousness will spring forth! ( Isaiah 45:8)

My Wine Is Always Here For You

Lori Hankins
I just thought I would share something the Lord showed me today. I have had a horrible week and last night I went to bed
feeling very discouraged. I have been told that the possibility of my hips getting better is nil, thus affecting my ability to
walk, my husband told me yesterday that he has 2 weeks left on his job then he will need to find something else, and to
top it off my beautiful daughter fell and broke her 2 front teeth last night. I felt as though I had been hit with a tornado this
week wreaking havoc in my life.
When I got up I read the morning paper and there was a headline that read "Tornado hits store, leaves wine". There was a
picture of the roof torn off of a store and yet all the bottles of wine were left unscathed. Immediately the Lord spoke to me
and said, "My wine is always here for you no matter what may happen in your life!" As He said this the Divine Presence
of Peace that passes all understanding began to envelop me and I knew that it was true. The wine of His Presence is for
us at all times, in all crisis, He loves us.
When hard times hit, and things seem to be unbearable, He is there to comfort us and remind us that Heaven is waiting,
and "this too shall pass away". These earthly trouble are not the substance of life, Jesus is!

Call For National Repentance

By Billie Deck
September 24, 1998

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- CALL FOR NATIONAL REPENTANCE
After all that is being noised abroad from the Nations Capitol, it was fitting that the service began Monday night with the
sound of three shofars announcing the beginning of the Jewish New Year, a time of repentance. "I did not come to bash
the President. I came to deal with sin in your life tonight." said Ambassador Davis as he called the church to repent. In
his message he suggested that the problem of America is not epidemic but rather Adamic, a sin problem.
From the story of Naaman the leper, (2 Ki 5:1 KJV) he paralleled leprosy to sin. Sin is inherited, insignificant, infectious,
and incurable. It doesn't take reformation, affirmation but transformation to cure. Until the trumpet sound when we will be
delivered from the presence of sin, we will continue to deal with this problem. "Nip it in the bud and dip it in the blood."
was his solution. "Don't listen to garbage. Turn off the TV." He said that lepers tolerate pain because they are numb to
stimuli. We can become numb to negative stimuli and easily fall into sin. "The mind is like a computer. What's inside
comes out."
About the White House scandal - "Don't throw stones at nobody but the devil. Get out of the mud and get in the flood."
he shouted. "Sin ( like leprosy) is incurable. If it was a social problem, God would have sent a sociologist. If it was a
physical problem, He would have sent a physician. But it was a moral problem and God sent a Savior." The congregation
shouted, applauded and jumped to their feet in agreement many times throughout the power-filled message. The
evangelist said, "America is mixed up with a ‘Save the whale- Kill the babies.' mentality." Davis continued with an
explanation given by Dr. Paul Brand that leprosy doesn't cause the fingers and toes to fall off but often the cause is rats
who come in the night to chew off the leprous parts. Because the lepers are numb to pain, they are not aware of what is
happening. As an aid the lepers are given a cat to keep the rats away. Davis yelled, "As Christians we have the Lion of
the Tribe of Judah." One of the intercessors held high a banner of the Lion which was on display for the first time during
the revival. Davis quoted Mike Evans, "It's not leprosy that destroys toes and fingers but rather desensitization." He
challenged the audience with, "You watch adultery on TV and it does not affect you . You wouldn't do it but you'll pay to
watch it. It is straight from ‘ '." he said.
John Davis admitted to the Word of Life congregation that he could not continue to do three revivals. He repented to the
Lord for not taking care of his temple and determined to take a rest. He quoted from revivalist Charles Finney who warned
that one of the enemies of revival is fatigue. After fulfilling a commitment to Scotland in early October, he plans to take
some days to rest before returning to the Washington, D.C. area. When he returns in October, he hopes to bring "as
many of the Brownsville team" that can come with him. He said the Lord has ordered him to "concentrate on areas."
Then he posed the question, ‘What would happen if churches united and stood for revival in this area?" Stating that he felt
the river anointing strong at Word of Life Assembly, he later declared during the altar call, "The river is rising." Davis said
that at Brownsville recently while taking an offering he gave a report on the move of God here. He said the 4000 believers
stood to their feet at the news of his three-hour prayer visit to the White House. Their applause soon tuned into
intercession for the nation to experience revival. He said that the vision given to him in early April that " D.C. would soon
bow to Holy Ghost power" is still alive in him and that he knows that God is not finished with the Capitol area. "God is
getting ready to change some things and shake this area." He encouraged the prayer warriors to keep the prayer going.
"It is the backbone of revival." He shared he had been told how some ministers met Newt Gingrich in the hall of the
Capitol last week and begin to pray over him. The same Holy presence that John Davis felt at the White House three
weeks earlier fell on the men as they prayed in the Capitol. Davis said, "I could take you to the very place in the White
house where I laid my hands on a door and heard the Lord say, ‘ I'm getting ready to clean house'."
He said there is only one remedy for man's malady. Nothing is too hard for God. Then he prayerfully yelled, "REVIVE
AMERICA, GOD!" As the Ambassador for the Brownsville Revival he reported that Awake America rallies led by the
Brownsville Revival Team are being held once a month and are reporting much success. Such a rally is held in Charlotte,
N. C. this week with many churches coming together. The river anointing is also being felt in many other places in the
land. After viewing the 700 Club today an intercessor noted Steve Hill, evangelist of the revival in Brownsville for the fourth
year, saying, "The nation is poised for a mighty revival." In January a member of the Intercessory Prayer Team at Word of
Life received a confirming word. "You have been praying for revival. This news is not the way you would have brought
revival but My ways are not your ways. But do not lay your mouth on the man. Rather, judge the sin in your own life. And
pray for the youth that they not use this as an excuse to yield to temptation."
Along with Steve Hill, Davis is calling for national repentance and national revival. Jesus is the Message for this "mess"
age." he said.
Near the end Davis, conducted a Rapture Drill encouraging the people to break loose into joy - to lose their dignity and
get ready to fly. "This is only a test." he repeated. "When the trumpet sounds, call me GONE." he exclaimed. In
conclusion Davis said, "Heaven is not a pie in the sky. It's a full course meal. Supper is almost ready! (Referring to the
marriage supper of the Lamb). I can almost smell it now!" Let us all pray with the fervor of John Knox, "Give me America
or I die." Let us occupy until He comes. Get ready! He is almost at the door.

Nations Will Come To Your Light

John Mulinde
This Article is taken with permission from the Europe Awake WebSite.
REVELATION:
I saw the map of the Continent of Europe and, as I looked, there came out of this map a big pillar of
smoke. It was a tall, thick and dark pillar of heavy black fumes as from a factory chimney. The fumes
rose up very slowly and gradually began spreading out.
From the pillar came a thin mist and it began spreading out almost imperceptibly, but within a short
time it had formed a dark film over the entire Continent of Europe. As the mist grew thicker, the
features below it blurred and became difficult to distinguish under the film of black fumes.
Then, suddenly, I saw a small light spring out from within the Isles of the UK. It grew rapidly with finger-
like rays of light spreading out in all directions. The rays to the South spread out wider and with longer
beams than the rest and soon cut across the European mainland. For some time they disappeared
into the thick black cloud rising and spreading over the rest of Europe; then they broke through and
reappeared from within the fumes. They spread out even farther touching across the entire African
Continent, eastwards across Asia and Australia, and westwards across north and south America.
Then the picture disappeared and in its place came a scripture:
'Arise shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers
the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears
over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn'.
'Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy
sons shall come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side'.
'Then thou shall see, and flow together, and your heart shall fear and be enlarged because the
abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the nations shall come to thee'.
INTERPRETATION:
'A thick darkness IS rising out of the Continent of Europe. It is going to grow in intensity and will soon
cover the whole Continent and on to the rest of the world. It is a force of evil. Wherever it will gain full
control over any land, it will turn the hearts of the people totally away from God. They will then hate
anything to do with God, with righteousness, or indeed with any goodness. Sanity will be cast
overboard, and people will call good evil and evil good. They will desire to give vent to the basest
animal passions in them and will look for wilder and wilder ways of doing this. They will enjoy evil and
will love all others who enjoy it.
The light is my power of renewal soon to be released upon the land and people of Europe. It will come
if my people will give themselves wholeheartedly to seeking my face. Its coming will be like a great
storm. It will be a mighty power against the darkness and will protect my people from the effect of the
invasion of darkness. Wherever the light will break out the darkness shall be neutralised and defeated.
But this calls for the co-operation of my people in seeking for it to happen'.
APPLICATION:
The Lord says to the UK,
'Arise shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers
the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears
over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn' (Isaiah 60.1-3).
The Lord is calling the UK into a special place of responsibility. A great light will spring out of the UK. It
will ... sweep across the whole of Europe like a bush fire. Indeed, it will stretch out to the ends of the
world where it will join with other fires in world-wide revival.
If you will answer this call, O UK ... And give yourself to institute prayer in your land ... And seek the
Lord with all your heart ... With groaning and travailing prayer, even as a woman in labour pains...
Yes ... if you will repent of your sins and iniquities ... If you will heal the wounded hearts within you ...
And cause unity to abound among your people ... Oh, if you will return to your redemptive purpose ...
And again be faithful to the work of being a witness of the Gospel in the nations ...
Then God will release upon you a mighty outpouring of his Spirit. You will again be clothed with the
Glory of the Lord. You will be a nation that bears the name of the Lord like a banner in the sky.
Other nations will see what God is doing in you. Yes, those who are struggling against the
domineering darkness looming over their territories will call out to you for help and assistance. Then
you will be used by the Lord to bring light and redemption to many, even as in the olden days. That is
God's redemptive purpose for you.
If you will rise up to the challenge then the Lord will use you to take Light to such as these. Then, even
if the rising darkness covers their land, they will survive its destructive influence because of the revival
power of God. Such is the responsibility that God is laying upon you: to birth the revival that will spread
out to the rest of Europe.
If you do not rise up to your calling, God will cause judgement to fall upon you, UK, for having
neglected and forsaken your destiny as a great Missionary Nation, and for not paying heed to what
God offered you as an opportunity of Grace (Proverbs 1.22-33).
For it was God's plan from the beginning to use you to take the Good News to the nations of the world.
That is why from the beginning he allowed you great authority as a maritime nation: that you may travel
far and wide.
It was his hand that allowed you to establish an empire covering almost the entire world. It was not just
for your pride but so that, in the process, you may win over the peoples of those nations to him. Yes, it
was even him that blessed your language - ENGLISH - into becoming the most widely spoken
language in the world. He intended to use it as a medium of communication, effectively linking the
peoples of the world.
Look, your sons and daughters come from afar and gather themselves to you (Isaiah 60.4-5). From
the Americas, Africa, Asia and Australia. They will again form a holy alliance with you and in this
networking great and mighty things shall come to pass.
Many will come from Africa and the rest of the 'third world' and will be used by the Lord to bless you
spiritually. In some places they will take over your abandoned places of worship and will bring new life
to them and great blessing in revival. That is why the Lord says in Isaiah 60.5: 'then you shall see, and
flow together, and your heart shall fear, and be enlarged'.
This will demand great humbling on your part, but your God shall lift you up. These are the last days
and God is calling every nation to take its position in God's redemptive purposes and fulfill their
calling. You are not the first nation in God's calling. Nor are you the last. Do not let pride hinder you.
Look at the gifting God has allowed you to acquire over the years, and the unique position you hold in
relation to Europe, America, Africa and indeed Asia. Turn now and do not allow yourself to miss
God's timing. All Europe is going to pass through a very painful struggle between two aggressive
forces: Light versus darkness! God has called you to play a crucial role. SO, ARISE!

Kampala, Uganda. His vision is to give a prophetic trumpet-call to the nations to rise up and prepare
the way of the Lord. The following vision is exceptionally important for us:


Nebuchadnezzar: A type of Christ

by Bill Somers
Mark 4 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. ….
13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Nebuchadnezzar: A type of Christ? But Nebuchadnezzar was a wicked character! Perhaps so, but God blessed him,
saved him and gave him the honor of narrating an entire chapter of the Book of Daniel. See Daniel 4.
But wicked character or no, He is used as a type of the Lord Jesus Christ and his history forms a parable for us today.
The Story of Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible is a Parable.
The key events are:

God's role for Nebuchadnezzar, He is given dominion over all the world. [Jeremiah 27; Ezra 1; etc.;see below.]
Nebuchadnezzar 's conquest of Tyre
Nebuchadnezzar 's rulership and destruction of Jerusalem and
Nebuchadnezzar 's conquest of Egypt.
In this parable the characters or elements are:

Nebuchadnezzar is a type of Jesus Christ,
The land of Judah and the City of Jerusalem are the Church.
The king of Tyrus is Satan, [Ezekiel 28; see below]
Pharaoh king of Egypt is also Satan.
The Lord is the Father God.
Egypt is the world. [The only new type here is Nebuchadnezzar.[
What the parable illustrates is the role Jesus plays in the Fathers plan.
Nebuchadnezzar first conquered Tyre, then Jerusalem, and finally Egypt.
Jesus first defeated Satan at Calvary. Now He is about to take over [conquer] the Church. Then He will judge and take
over the world.
As Nebuchadnezzar was given the land of Egypt by the Lord, for his service in defeating the king of Tyrus, so the Father
has given Jesus all authority and power under heaven for his defeat of Satan at Calvary. [Ezekiel 29, see below.]
And part of the judgment that Nebuchadnezzar carries out against Egypt is to destroy the houses of their gods. This
alludes to the judgments the Lord made against Pharaoh and the gods of Egypt in Exodus. And it is a prophetic
foreshadowing of the Second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, when He will carry out vengeance against Satan's
kingdoms [the houses of their gods] in the heavenly places. [Jeremiah 43; see below]
Then He will set up his throne in Pharaoh's house, and spread his royal pavilion there.
…And he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from
thence in peace Jer.. 43:12. Which is to say, Jesus will set up his kingdom on this earth, and assume control of the
world and bring peace!
But First, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and burnt the temple. And afterward He conquered Egypt. [Jeremiah 25;
see below]
Which is to say: Judgment must begin at the house of God, and then judgment will come upon the world.
The main lesson for the church today:

Nebuchadnezzar as a type of the Lord Jesus brings judgment on Jerusalem. This is the coming judgment on the Church.
Organized Christianity as we know it will be devastated, like Jerusalem was. The survivors are counseled by the prophet
Jeremiah to remain in the Land of Judah [praise] to dwell safely. If they go down into Egypt, they are in danger. [Jeremiah
42: see below.]

Likewise Christian who come through this judgment must stay in an attitude of Praise and Worship [service] to
God, in order to be safe during the judgments coming on the world. If they loose heart and fall back into
following the ways of the world [Egypt] they will be judged with the world.
The Judgment on the Church

The situation in Jerusalem when it was destroyed was that they were already under the rule of Nebuchadnezzar. The
Kingdom of Judah was supposedly submitted to the Babylonian empire. Their King was a man He had set up and placed
on their throne. He [Zedekiah] rebelled and brought down destruction upon the nation.
Our churches are supposedly submitted to the Lordship of Jesus. Our leaders are men he has raised up. Yet for our
disobedience He [Jesus] must come as Judge. He will assume His authority and set up His throne in His temple, the
Church. As Judgment begins at the House of God, so will the Kingdom of God begin in this revival.
This judgment is quite comparable to the destruction of Jerusalem. In Rick Joyner's article, Civil War in the Church, he
speaks of it in terms of what will "look like a total meltdown of Christianity."
Isaiah speaks of a time when " When the enemy shall come in like a flood, …. Isa. 59:19
In another place Isaiah writes:
Isa. . 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall
dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that
shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his
eyes from seeing evil;
Paul speaks of the day of fire, (How often we pray, Lord send down the Fire!)
1 Cor.. 3;13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be
revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Malachi mentions refiners fire when considering that day.
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for
he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Luke mentions the fire in connection with purging.
Lu. 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his
garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Hebrews speaks of judgment, shaking and fire, a consuming fire.
He 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not
the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that
are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve
God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
References:
[Note that some of these references refer directly to Jesus, some to Cyrus King of Persia and some to Nebuchadnezzar
King of Babylon. The common element is that God speaks of each of them as 'my servant' or 'my anointed'. And as you
might guess, Cyrus is a type of the Lord Jesus Christ just as Nebuchadnezzar is.]

6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts
of the field have I given him also to serve him.

LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be
built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my
servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round
about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations,
to whom I send thee, to drink it.
17 Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
18 To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation,
an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Ezekiel 28
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest
up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the
diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of
thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou
hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Ezekiel 29
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was
made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had
served against it:
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he
shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith
the Lord GOD.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the
midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Jeremiah 43
8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in
Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
10 And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the
king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal
pavilion over them.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for
captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and
he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in
peace.
13 He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the
Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
Jeremiah 42
9 And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication
before him;
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up:
for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to
save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor
have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
15 And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the
famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the
famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
18 For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the
inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an
execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.

Never Walk In Darkness

Katie Jordan
I call to you, My people, yes, I call louder and louder and more often. ARE YOU LISTENING? Am I
succeeding in getting your eyes off the world? Remember that I have warned you that it will be more
difficult to keep your eyes on Me as the world becomes more chaotic.
Look for the world's problems to grow at an even faster pace now. Oh My beloved, soon you will not
even recognize the world you have known. As the world appears to be falling apart at the seams, IT IS
EVEN MORE URGENT THAT YOU SPEND TIME WITH ME. You usually try not to miss giving your
body food, but your spirit needs to be nourished daily also. THAT IS IMPERATIVE!
As time grows more precious the enemy will endeavor to keep you upset and busy so you will not
come to Me. Recognize his mean and crude attempts to keep us apart. REBUKE HIM IN MY NAME
AND HE MUST FLEE.
Oh My people hold on to Me tightly now as the path gets bumpier and more jolting. It will be a rough
ride but you must keep your eyes on your destination. I AM THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR AND I
WILL ALWAYS GO BEFORE AND BE A LIGHT ON YOUR PATH. YOU NEED NEVER, NEVER
WALK IN DARKNESS.

A New Dawn
Lori K. Hankins
I just wanted to share an interesting dream that my husband had a few weeks ago. I was reminded of it when reading the
latest Prophetic Bulletin from Morningstar. Rick Joyner spoke of an object moving closer on radar and there being no way
to avoid the impact of it. He said that when it did hit that nothing happened, not even a jolt. He asked the Lord what it
was, and the Lord said that it was the great time of trouble that is coming, and there is nothing we can do to avoid it.
However it was only a little blip on the radar screen of all that He is about to do, and as long as we stand with Him, we
will not even feel it. (see "The new age and the kingdom of God" by Rick Joyner, April 1998).
In the dream that my husband had there was a dawn. He said that the dawn was like every other dawn, but then
something happened and instantly it became a new dawn of which he had no words to describe it. In the "new dawn"
there were the most beautiful colors, and everything was somehow recreated in an instant in such beauty and wonder
that nothing on earth could match it. He said there were no words to describe the beauty and wonder of it all. It was like
everything suddenly became new and all the old had passed away.
I remembered reading a description from a vision that Julian of Norwich (ie. Mystic from the 1400's) saw. She had died
and then come back to life with a vision she spent the rest of her life trying to write. In the midst of her vision the question
of human suffering was brought up, she had seen many die in the black plague that covered Europe at the time. The Lord
showed her what would happen and this is how she described it: "All is well, and all will be well". She said that in God's
infinite wisdom, all will be made right, even the worst evil.
Isn't God good! No matter what happens, when we trust in Him, He can make all things new again. I long for the day...

New Exodus Beginning

Tony Black
PLEASE PRAY ABOUT THIS.

BIBLICAL PROPHECY IS BEING FULFILLED IN OUR LIFETIME
The situation is becoming very serious. This is not a cash appeal, we are desperate for more Prayer Warriors. I am
convinced we are seeing the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy in our Lifetime. The Lord is coming back soon ! The "Third
Exodus" of Jewish peoples is already beginning and we must pray that the Church is fully aware of her calling.
This is short, it won't take long I promise. Look what's happening........
TEN-FOLD INCREASE:
Russia's Economic turmoil has prompted a tenfold increase of applications for immigration to Israel, coming from as far
afield as Moscow to the Korean border. Long lines of potential immigrants formed outside the Jewish Agency offices in
Moscow for the first time in many years. So busy was the Agency that emissaries were compelled to present information
to groups rather than to individuals. [Source: Jerusalem Post] This is just the beginning !! Imagine the increase when the
persecution starts too. Why ? Read on !
MOSCOW TENSE:
"The situation here is full of expectancy. This weekend there is a huge Nazi convention at the Sports Complex near
Pobedy. This is the same place where 'BD' (name withheld) held his crusades and where 10,000 people each night came
to Christ. It is also the same place where 'JB' held his Messianic festivals and where thousands of Jews met their
Messiah. Now the Forces of Darkness meet there.." [Source: Intercessors Network]
NO FRIEND OF ISRAEL:
Russian prime minister Yevgeny Primakov, a former official in the notorious KGB intelligence service.. is generally
described as an Arabist… Widely known in the West for his efforts to avert a Gulf War through direct negotiations with
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.. he has also been called "one of the champions of the traditional Soviet anti-Israel policy"

Command's chief mission as preparing for the armed conflict that he feels is likely to break out in 1999. [Source: Arutz 7]
Can you see A pattern developing ? I think these are signs. We're coming to the end of the end times ! The Lord is
coming soon -- It's looking very soon indeed now -- but before He does all heaven and hell are going to let loose. We
know who wins, but we must pray. We all have a part to play. Together.
Here's an independent confirmation of the times (one of many)
Tony,
I just spoke with DH. He and his wife are the missionary evangelists I told you about. They have been working with
Jewish believers in Israel and in the Ukraine. I mentioned to him about you being in the area and looking for someone to
work with. He began to tell me that from his contacts in Russia and the Ukraine that things are moving quickly as many
have prophesied. Jews are flooding to the government offices to immigrate to Israel. In the Ukraine the only thing holding
many of the Jews back from leaving is the fee the government is charging ($150). Man! I have read your reports and now
to listen to someone tell me that things are moving so fast toward what has been prophesied, the church needs to wake
up to the fact that Jesus is coming! Pastor Daniel
LIKE TO JOIN ONE OF OUR PRAYER LISTS ? (details below)
JOSEPH PROJECT OBJECTIVES

* To prepare for and assist with the prophetic immigration to Israel of millions
more Jewish people from all over the world.
* To bring aid and comfort to those within the community of Israel that need
help right now. Already the system is overburdened.

* To prepare compassionately for the increase of conflict and persecution, by
stockpiling food, clothing and medical supplies
PROJECT SPECIFICS (incl. all MJA and RI objectives)
* Establish 15 Blessing Centers in the land (increased from 12) under local
Believers management.
* Strategic agricultural/ resettlement projects.
* Leasing (or possible purchase?) of planes and ships for transportation.
Coordinated with strategic partner ministries.
* Localised Networks of mercy ministries working at street level amongst the
destitute.
For many months The Lord has been sending a strong prophetic warning to Christian leaders around the world
concerning the imminent danger facing the Jewish people in Eastern Europe & Russia. This warning which states that
they will either be driven out or frightened from their homes is now fast becoming a reality. The situation is worsening
daily and the Jewish people are asking for our Christian help. I believe it is vital that we should respond urgently and with
a full heart of compassion.
Thank you and bless you,

Tony Black

God's New Soil

by Steve Powers
Here's a word that the Lord gave me back in September of '97. It seems appropriate for the New Year and I was led to
share it with you all. I hope there will be something that will speak to you or encourage you! Here it is:
Tonight, I went to the ministry team training that Keith taught. While I was in it, the Lord gave me a vision that I wanted to
share.
Keith was talking about that we are coming into a new foundation and that we need to begin to operate from that
foundation and this is what the Lord showed me:
I saw great clouds of sand being lifted, swirling, into the air by the wind. The sand swirled about for a bit, carried by the
shifting winds. Then the winds begin to die down and the sand started to fall to earth. As it fell to earth, it solidified and
began to change into soil. The soil was rich and black, a loamy sort of soil that is good for living things to be planted in
and to grow. The layers were deep. I could see that the soil was ready for growing. I could see that the sun was shining
and sensed that it was an early summer time of heat, just before the scorching heat that arrives in mid-summer. A plant
began to push its way through and as it grew, it became obvious that it was a tree. As the tree grew and became
stronger and thicker I could see that it was a watermelon tree and that the watermelons were strong and healthy looking.
Here's what I believe the Lord was saying through the vision:
The swirling sands represented a changing, the winds carrying them to a new place. The solidifying of the sand into soil
was a new soil, a soil to be planted in. I sensed that the Lord was saying that this was a new soil and that it was for all of
us, that we had to understand that it was not just for a select group of people but for all that are willing to allow the Lord
to plant them in new, unfamiliar soil. The soil was rich and good, for those who trusted the Lord in His ways, in letting His
wind move them and plant them in a new place, that they would not be planted in a rocky way, that they would flourish
and grow strong, with their branches reaching high into the air. Of course, there's no such thing as a watermelon tree, but
I believe this was God's way of saying that there are those who don't believe that certain things can take place in their
life, that God can ever use them in a certain way, that a change they've been waiting for so long will ever happen, that all
their deepest yearnings can ever be fulfilled. They need to believe that in God's soil, all of these things can and WILL
happen. In human soil, a watermelon tree could never grow, but in God's soil, it's not an impossible thing at all for a
watermelon tree to grow -- not only to grow but to be strong and to flourish. All they need to do is to submit to God, to let
God use them and to believe that they CAN be used by God. I keep hearing the phrase, "a new soil" over and over again.
I believe the Lord is saying that we need to be willing to be planted in this new soil and even to desire to be transplanted
into a new soil and allow Him to create new places in our lives.

A Vision of the New Tent

Steve Phillips
Early in 1996, I was in Australia staying at the home of my friend, John Alley of Peace International Apostolic Network of
Christian Ministries. John has a very prosperous church in Rockhampton near the Great Barrier Reef. Although he is very
gifted in many areas, one of the ways God uses him is in the area of releasing people to be able to hear from God. John
was telling me about how God was releasing people in the area of dreams. This was an area which I had nearly shut
down because I had heard some negative teaching about dreams and their interpretations.
John, however told me that if you remove the full descriptions of dreams and visions from the Bible, you have to throw
away nearly one third of the Scriptures! I then confessed that I had been cautious in this regard because I was concerned
about misinterpretation of dreams but John persisted to ask if we did not have to trust God in many areas which required
interpretation. I was caught! Further confession on my part centered around the fact that I seldom remembered dreams,
although I knew I had them often. John prayed a simple prayer asking God to help in this regard and I went to bed. That
night, much to my surprise, I had three dreams which I remembered in perfect clarity the next morning. In fact I still
remember them to this day and I have been released in this regard ever since to hear from God in this manner again. It
has been a tremendous help to me this year as I have meditated on what God has told me in my dreams. However, one
of the dreams from that night, though very clear, was somewhat difficult to understand. Throughout the year, God has
molded this in my spirit until He finally explained it to me in great detail last November.
In the dream, I saw a huge tent that stretched around the world. It was not a tent like most people would think of a tent
but rather merely the top of a tent with no side walls. We called this a 'dining fly' in my scouting days, years ago. I
remember thinking how easy it would be to come under this tent for dining and fellowship because you could come and
go from any direction. The top was shaped like the Bedouin tents in the Middle East. It was quite striking and caught my
attention because I was perplexed as to how you could build a tent around a sphere shape. I saw a close-up of the weave
of the material of the tent. It was a closely-woven fabric of very strong natural fiber which had been rubbed with oil to
make it water proof. The tent would swell with the breeze, but seemed very secure. It was anchored at three points to
stakes in the earth. One stake was in Australia, another in central Russia, and the third in England. These corners were
attached to the stakes by braided rope which, somehow I knew, were made of the same substance of which they make
bullet proof vests. and the idea went through my mind, "Twenty times stronger than steel!" The fourth corner of the tent
was left unattached and flapping in the breeze.
I asked the Lord, "What is this?" In the dream, He replied, "This is the New Tabernacle. It is a New Covering I am building
over all of the earth." Then He said, "I never wanted to live in a house made of stone - I rather liked traveling about in a
tent!" Like a typical presumptuous American, I asked Him if He intended to tie the fourth corner down in America. "I
haven't decided yet about America!" He replied with a bit of hurt in His voice.
As I meditated on the dream for some months, bits and pieces of what the Lord was saying seemed relatively clear.
However, His exact message still eluded me. In November, I was visiting my good friends Roger and Sue Mitchell in
London. The Mitchell's have been used mightily in the current renewal and have helped to put together a group called,
"Building Together" which is a partnership of churches throughout the UK. They have taught several times in Toronto
Airport Christian Fellowship and elsewhere in North America, South America, Africa and around the world. While we were
visiting, the phone rang and we found out that it was John Arnott who happened to be in town and wanted to drop in the
next day to see Roger. John, who is also a close friend, was tickled to find out that we were all in town at the same time.
It felt like a family reunion and made us realize that it may be God's appointment for us.
In the course of our conversation the next day, John Arnott was asking for input about forming the new network, "Partners
in Harvest", he is helping to form. My only comment to John was that he not make it some heavy organizational structure
but rather keep it a relational structure open to participation with any church or ministry regardless of denomination or
"stream". I remember saying, "John, right now you belong to all of us in the Body of Christ. But, if you form yet another
heavily structured organization, then you will eventually be perceived as belonging to that entity instead of being a gift to
all of the Body. God wants people from all over the world to be able to feast, fellowship, minister and serve under this
current anointing." The Lord's presence was so strong in the room that we all began to weep. At this point, the Lord
immediately took me out of the conversation to speak to me privately.
I felt the Lord say, "This is what I was showing you in the dream in Australia earlier this year! I am going to build a 'New
Covering' over all of the earth. It will be based solely upon 'relationship' and not heavy authoritarian or sectarian structure."
He then gave me the verse in Matthew 20:25, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who
are great exercise authority over them. YET IT SHALL NOT BE SO AMONG YOU! (Emphasis, mine - meaning such
authority is prohibited in the body of Christ) whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant."
I then felt the Lord say, "Authority and control which is similar to governments and nationalism in a secular context are
prohibited in the Body of Christ! This 'New Covering' is the 'New Tabernacle' which is meant to be a 'Tent of Blessing.'
Many people have already been called come under it and dine together. They will be able to come in and go out as they
please from any direction because THERE WILL BE NO WALLS. They can remain a part of their denominations and
movements as they please because they will only be joined together here by a mutual sharing of covenant relationship.
That was the close weave you saw that was rubbed with the oil of My Spirit. The reason I said I had not decided about
America yet was because this will be very difficult for some Americans to come under. They will want to make it their's
and they will be bothered that it will not be centered in America nor have any perceptible central government. Therefore, if
I call them, it will be last!
The anchors or stakes are already in place in the nations I showed you. These are not men but works of My Spirit. The
braided ropes are strong relationships I have called together which will attach the tent to these stakes. You have already
met some of these people in these countries.'
(Curiously enough, I spent the bulk of my time last year, after the dream in Australia in these countries: Australia -5
weeks, England -14 weeks, and Russia -5 weeks. However these trips had already been arranged prior to the trip to
Australia and the dream. I have, in fact, met a significant number of people in these nations who are called together
solely on the basis of covenant relationship.)
He continued, "I never wanted to dwell in a heavy, rigid, organizational structure. I want to dwell in relationship. That is
where I can command a blessing - Life evermore! (Psalms 133:3) In this 'New Tabernacle' you will not be able to say of
those that come in , 'They are ours!' Nor will you say of those who go out, 'They are no longer with us!' But they will be
free to come and dine as they please. If they go out from the tent for a season, you must still value them and accept
them back if they decide to return. Relationship will keep them coming back for more. This is why I told you that this will
be 'twenty times stronger than steel'. It will be able to adjust and move in a strong wind without blowing away and it will
be stronger than any organizational structure that has ever been even though the relational strength will not be as obvious
as the organizational structure. I want you to give your life to help facilitate seeing this vision come to pass. The work has
already begun all over the world in the hearts of many!"
I believe we are on the verge of an historic change in the church where God will redefine apostolic structure among the
nations based upon covenant relationships and service rather than authoritarian or sectarian structures. The covering that
is being stretched out from this work of the Spirit is a "dining fly" meant to allow God's people to be fed and nurtured for a
time of great ministry and service. The emphasis of Malachi 4:6 in turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and the
hearts of the children to the fathers is one of maturing relationships of trust and blessing between the church leadership
and the rest of the Body. God is desiring a house of mature children who each have individually assigned places in the
Body. Until recently, much of what we modeled as church leaders seemed to indicate that we believed most of the Body
would never be much more than "teenagers". Thus there has been an implied "parental authority" over the Body instead
of a "parental blessing". This perpetual parenting has produced little more than rebellious church members and worn out
leaders. This, in turn, was followed by even more authoritarian attempts to rule an unruly house. None of this has really
worked for us but, without a new model, the church has been frozen in time. More importantly, the Body has failed to
come into mature covenant relationship with church leadership. When God has been saying, "I want My church back", I
don't think we have seen how seriously He meant it! We must grapple with the concept that ministry leadership gifts were
given "UNTIL..." They were a means to an end rather than an end unto themselves. God might be far more interested in
seeing the work finished than we have been. He gave His life for it! He is intent upon having each of His children mature,
each in ministry, each in covenant relationship with one another, and each allowed to grow up "to the measure of the
stature of the fullness of Christ". (Eph. 4:13)
Sectarian divisions among church leaders have been like marital conflicts within a family. As the "children" have observed
the "parents" unable to live and work together in mutual respect, the "children" have demonstrated immaturity and strife
as well. However, as leadership begins to model mutual respect and covenant relationships among each other, the Body
will come into a similar relationship with church leadership. In this place of unity and mutual respect, God will command
blessing - Life forever more! Revelation 21:3 says, "Behold I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold , the
Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be with
them and be their God". This recent time of renewal and outpouring was more than merely a brief refreshing. It was a
means that God employed to set into place relationships across the whole world. While certainly not every church leader
has come into a network of relationship, I believe enough have for God to see the work as established.
To this vision and purpose, I have committed my life and ministry.

The Next Stage Of Apostolic Ministry

Prophetic Word-1998-99
D.G. Botha
Hi I was going through some of the prophetic words in the what's new section yesterday, and really enjoyed reading
through some of the material, when I felt a word drop into my spirit, that I believe is meant for the Prophets. I submit the
word to you and you can weigh it up, to see if the word witnesses with your spirit.
The Scripture reference is taken from Acts 13 : 1-3
The word relates to the prophets being required to consecrate themselves to prayer, fasting and worship for a time,
because God requires of them shortly to separate from among the teachers and prophets, some whom God has prepared
work to do in the next stage of Apostolic ministry,( Acts 1 began with the restoration of the Apostolic team, a Parallel to
our time) which is the church planting phase and the spread of the new testament church into all the world, to ordain
them and then to send them.

Do Not Fear Y2K

Or Anything Else
Carole Phelps
The Holy Spirit has been speaking to my husband and I regarding Luke 12:29-32:
"And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, NEITHER BE YE OF DOUBTFUL MIND. For all these things
do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather SEEK YE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD; and all these things shall be added unto you. FEAR NOT LITTLE FLOCK; for IT IS YOUR
FATHER'S GOOD PLEASURE TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM."
We are all living in a world on the brink of cataclysm which can eradicate every effort for preparation in an instant. Our
"natural" preparedness should, of course, be a normal, sensible action, but our focused strength and intensity of effort
must be that of pressing into the heart of Father God, our strong tower of refuge from every storm.
When the l989 Loma Prieta earthquake hit the Bay Area in Northern California, my son and I were cooking a spaghetti
dinner one minute, laughing and enjoying the warmth of an Indian Summer afternoon, when the rumbling began. The next
thing we knew, we were ankle deep in the sparkling remains of our ancestor's glassware and china. We were quoting
Scripture verses of God's protection, while our neighbors were screaming out in fear and anguish. All water, gas and
electricity were off for over a week. We were some of the "blessed ones" in that we owned an RV which was full of water,
had a toilet, was stocked with food and a four burner propane stove.
One of our neighbors just happened to work for a large wholesale florist and had a van full of five gallon water bottles
which she generously shared with all. My husband, a plumber went door to door disconnecting or closing off gas lines.
Amazingly, few people were killed or injured.
Just a few days prior to the quake, my son and I were enjoying a "Taylor's Hot Dog" in the lovely park at the Watsonville
City Square, when the Holy Spirit caused me to note the beauty of the antique architecture around the square,
particularly the Elk's building with its clock tower over the bakery. The thought occurred to me how easily that fragile
brick building would come down should a quake of severe magnitude happen. The only fatality in Watsonville was a
woman running out of the bakery who was buried with the brick of that building.
Michael and I have come through several California earthquakes unscathed, even when debris was falling all around us
and we give God all the glory for His hand of protection overshadowing us. Our lives have suffered similar "quaking" and
according to His Word given to me in 1981, "I am going to shake my Church so that those things which can be shaken,
will be and those things which cannot, will remain." God is our strong tower of defense which we run to for shelter in time
of cataclysm.
We are here to perform His Will, and He is preparing an army of survivors, believers and relyers who will march in
confidence, fearlessly treading where none have dared to go before. An army who know their God, who carry His
weapons of Peace, Love, Joy, Purity, Faith in the midst of EVERY event and circumstance.
The thought occurred to me the other day, that I'm certain was posed by the Holy Spirit: "What are the responsibilities of
a dead person?" After pondering this for awhile, I realized that "dead" people have none. They are not expected to cook,
clean, wash, pay bills, work at jobs, drive the children, teach or take part in any other endeavor. When we are so "dead"
to self and worldly pursuits that God can rely upon us at any time, anywhere, to respond to His Voice; when those
people who know us, realize our commitment to Jesus Christ and His Kingdom is so complete that they cannot expect
us to "serve" their needs because we are so separated unto God, even if it is only waiting in His Presence. Then, we will
be truly "dead" unto self, but "Alive" unto God.
God's richest blessings to you all,
Love, Carole Phelps

A Word For The Northwest --

The Lord Commands You To Go Now
'Men of Portland'
Prophecy given by Patricia Keating
At the Full Gospel Businessmen's
Portland Metro Chapter, April 20, 1998
Also see: Go On Gideon
INTRODUCTION
While ministering in the Portland / Vancouver area from April 15th -21st 1998, I sensed the Holy Spirit showing me how
He wished to move in that area and the northwest region. The biblical framework for this move is found in Judges, Chapter
6 and 7, the story of Gideon. God's move through Gideon and his army is centered around religious reform and military
action based on a coalition of Israelite tribes. In the Church today, we have recently, through the Renewal, experienced
religious reform. I believe that the Lord is now revealing to us a military strategy based on a coalition of Christian
Churches.
THE LORD NAMES YOU
Prior to calling Gideon forth for military action, the Lord named him anew, identifying his forthcoming role in God's army.
Judges 6:12 "The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour." (KJV)
I believe that God has unveiled his army of warriors to many Christians in this region, and that he has also named you in
terms of your rank and function in that army.
THE LORD COMMANDS YOU TO GO NOW
Though Gideon had lived a life of oppression, robbery and confinement under the ravages of the Midianites, and though, in
his own understanding, his family was among the poor in Manasseh and he, the least in his father's house, the Lord said
in Judges 6:14.
"Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?"
I believe that the Lord is saying to us to "go now" in the strength that we have.
GOD WISHES TO FULFILL A RESOUNDING AND WIDESPREAD SCATTERING AND ROUTING OF THE ENEMY IN
OUR TERRITORIES
The Lord made known the extent of His intended uprooting and annihilation of the enemy to Gideon.
Judges 6:16 "Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man."
I believe that, in a united and progressive thrust forward with the Holy Ghost, Christians in the northwestern territories will
uproot the enemy from the land.
UPROOT ANY VESTIGES OF WICKEDNESS THAT WERE INHERITED THROUGH YOUR GENERATIONAL LINE
Judges 6:25 "… throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it."
I believe that some, either have already, or will experience the Lord requiring a complete uprooting of all vestiges of
rebellion, idol worship, witchcraft, false religion etc. in their family line.
Judges 6:26 "And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon the top of this rock …and take the second bullock, and offer
a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down."
I believe that the Lord requires a fresh consecration of oneself unto God. Some of the old 'furniture' of religion may have to
be removed to make way for a new out-pouring of the Holy Spirit into our Churches. The former must make room for the
latter, which will bring about a completely different, more liberated and culturally rich landscape for the worship of the
Lord. Many people may have already experienced a certain separation from former religious organizations as a
preparatory step towards what lies ahead.
PROPHETICALLY CALL YOUR BROTHERS IN ARMS FROM THE SURROUNDING TERRITORIES
Judges 6: 34,35 "But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after
him. And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also gathered after him; and he sent messengers unto
Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them."
I believe that men (and women) are to call together the Christian communities of the northwest to unite in the fulfillment of
God's battle strategy. The 'trumpet' symbolizes the prophetic voice and also worship. I believe the Lord desires a
convening of Christian communities for a large 3-day festival of worship in the Portland, Oregon area primarily. I believe
that the timing of this event should be in early October 1998, coinciding with the Feast of tabernacles. This may be
followed by another similar event in Olympia, Washington and later at another location. During that 3-day period of
celebratory worship, with the dance and the 'Shout', the Lord will liberate His mighty men from the last vestiges of
bondage and oppression under the ruling principalities of this territory and the religious (and other) organizations to which
they have been tied. It will be like the crossing of a national boundary - out into new, liberated courses, which were
destined for their lives. These men (and women) will be released into a company of mighty warriors, of forerunners, of
like-minded men.
MANY PEOPLE OF GOD WILL PREFER TO REMAIN IN THE CAMP
There will be many among the Christian community who do not wish to go up into battle; they are occupied with the
affairs of home; some are fearful at heart; they prefer to remain in the camp. They are freely permitted by God to refrain
from the new thrust forward by the spirit into the enemy's territory.
Judges 7:3 "Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying 'Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return
and depart early from Mount Gilead'. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten
thousand."
SEPARATION OF THE MIGHTY WARRIORS
There will be a further sifting of the troops, much like that done by military organizations, where individuals are selected
on the basis of personal merit, training, experience, gifting and bravery of heart, to go up into battle.
Judges 7:4 "And the Lord said unto Gideon, 'The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try
them for thee there; and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee. This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee;
and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go."
I believe that there are many Christian men and women in the northwest in whom God has staked his visions for the
region. In the coming months, these visions will be stirred up within them. There will be an intense desire to run faster, to
go up, and to take the land. To these people, I believe the Lord says 'Do not expend your energy in an attempt to bring all
members of your communities with you. Do not pour your visions into the hearts of those who will choose to remain in
the camp. Rather contain your strength; set your face forward to going up to battle; the Lord will soon liberate you into a
company of mighty men who are like-minded and who will fight with you.
A NECESSARY DISTANCING FROM THE CAMP
There will evolve a certain physical and spiritual distancing between those who go up to battle for new territory and those
who remain in camp. Let those who remain in camp give all they can to furnish the needs and to equip those going forth
to take the land.
Judges 7:8 "So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto
his tent, and retained those three hundred men, and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley."
Those who go forth do so in a company of warriors. They are not cut off from the community of God's people in camp.
They are simply separated for a time by virtue of the requirements of their visions.
DIVIDING THE WARRIORS INTO SEPARATE COMPANIES

Judges 7: 16-18 "And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet into every man's
hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. And he said unto them 'Look on me, and do likewise: and,
behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. When I blow with a trumpet, I
and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of the camp, and say, 'The sword of the Lord, and
of Gideon.'"
I believe that the mighty warriors will group, and fulfill their part in separate locations, though they all form part of one
battle strategy. I see three separate thrusts, going north, east and south in these territories.
THE STRATEGY AND BATTLE OF THE LORD
The main tenets of the strategy are for the Church to (1) go up to battle, take your positions and stand. The Lord will go
before you and destroy your enemies. This is linked to the description of the Lord's strategy given to Jehoshaphat when
he defeated the Moabites and Ammonites (2 Chronicles 20).
2 Chronicles 20:21 "And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the Lord, and that should
praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth
forever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab,
and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten."
(2) The second tenet of the strategy is "the trumpet and the shout" i.e. prophecy, praise and worship. As this is fulfilled
at a number of locations, I believe that the Lord will shake the enemy strongholds, causing spiritual forces to flee in many
different directions.
Judges 7:20-21 "And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left
hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried 'The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon'. And
they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled."
I also saw prophetically, that as the worship and the shout went up, the hard dry earth of the territory suddenly cracked
like a mild surface earthquake. I believe that this represents the fallow ground in the hearts of the population being
ploughed up by the Lord. There will be a widespread and all encompassing shaking by the Lord of the unbelievers in the
region. I believe that as companies of evangelists later go out to sow the seeds of the gospel amongst the general
population, they will find the soil of the peoples' hearts already ploughed and ready to receive the Word of the Lord.
(3) The third aspect of this move is the re-formation of the Church as a 'city without walls' as described in Zechariah 2.
Zechariah 2:4-5 "… Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the Multitude of men and cattle therein: For I,
saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her."
I believe that the Lord desires to use many people from different denominations, who will work together to fulfill these
words. In doing so, He wishes to remove some of the walls between Churches, to intermingle their strengths and
anointing, and to show forth his bride in a glorious unity of purpose.
THE WHEAT HARVEST FROM THE CHURCH
Lastly, I got a sense from the Lord that this year he would be taking a wheat harvest from the Church. This referred to the
men and women that he had carefully taught and trained over the past number of years and whom he considered to have
reached maturity. These would be a "first fruits" unto the Lord. They would be separated for the coming work of the Lord,
some of which has been outlined earlier. Pastors, themselves, are included in this wheat harvest. Some would be
separated unto greater works beyond the boundaries of the local body. For pastors who see some of their 'finest' people
leaving: they are to know that this harvest is to their glory for it is they who have nurtured this crop to maturity;
furthermore, the separation is unto the planting of many new works for the Lord. In this way, the parent Church will
multiply as well as continue in the addition of members. Lastly, the new 'families' formed after the separation will be
places wherein the 'parent' pastor should always be received and honoured for his labours.

PROPHETIC WORD LIST

The End is Not Far

Bill Burns
January 16, 1998
Many of the rest of you are coming into a newness in your walk, a newness in understanding, and new opportunities, for
this is the year of blessing.
It is the year of Jubilee.
But, it is also the year of a spiritual attack, and I must reveal this to you because even as I have spoken through My
prophets and through My servants that the church is now preceding Israel, as a nation, if you will go to the book of
Ezekiel, and if you will read in the 37th and 38th chapters about the war, this war has to do with physical Israel, but the
church is fighting this war spiritually in this day, and the spirits that come are the spirits of Gog and the spirits of Magog
against you in intense number and intense magnitude. This curse of Magog will carry through to the end, but I say to
you, if you have read My Book, I have brought forth a victory! Every enemy shall be defeated.
Do not allow fear to come into your lives; do not allow fear to permeate you because do I not from the fire of heaven come
down upon the earth to destroy that army on the hills and on the lands of My people? And, it shall be so in the church,
but you must fight against these curses because they will come, and the spirits of invasion will come upon you.
Do not be slack, and do not give in to weakness. Do not give in to the number of troops against you, for you shall indeed
be victorious, and you shall conquer, for you are My battle axes, and the war belongs to Me, saith the Lord, and I will
preserve you and keep you in every avenue, in every direction that you go. And, the ways that you come in and the ways
that you go out the devil must flee also.
Even as I have given a prophetic sign yesterday as I brought forth My servants from seven directions, and the devil indeed
had to flee in seven directions, for where My Spirit comes in, the enemy must go out. They cannot exist together, for light
and darkness cannot coexist, saith God. I am the light of the world, and I am the Master of the world.
Understand today that everything is under prophetic influence now, and I am turning up the speed of the hour hands upon
the clock for the final generation, and even so it will go to the end of time. That end is not far away, so you must be
prepared, for I am coming quickly, and I am coming for a church without spot or wrinkle. So, I would say unto you today,
wash yourselves and walk in the newness of the platforms that I have given you. Look up, for your redemption draws nigh,
for I am the Lord of Glory and the Lord of Redemption.
Have I not saved you and purged you? I will bring you through, for all purposes are in My hands.

Now Will I Arise

Lance Lambert
International Intercessors Leader's Conference

November 1998. Philippines
Word from the Lord released through Lance Lambert
"My anger is stirred up," says the Lord, "against the nations for they are dividing My land and seeking
to destroy My heritage. My furious anger is like a boiling cauldron against those powerful states that
have produced such strategies and who, by pressure and manipulation, are seeking to implement
them. Now I will become their enemy," says the Lord, "and I will judge them with natural disasters, by
physical catastrophes, by fire, by flood, by earthquake, and by eruptions. I will touch the seas, and the
atmosphere, the earth, and all that is within them. Moreover, I will touch them where it will hurt them the
most, for I will touch their power and the foundations of their affluence and prosperity. I will smash their
prosperous economies," says the Lord. "and I will overturn and overturn that they may know that I am
the Lord. They sit like potentates, so safe, so secure, believing in their own cleverness and wisdom
and power, but I, the Lord, I will cause them to stumble. I will lead them into confusion and disorder. I
will blind them and delude them so that they will make mistakes because they have not regarded Me,
nor honoured Me, but rather they have devalued Me, deriding My Word and ignoring My Covenants."
"For too long have I been quiet," says the Lord, "but now will I arise in overflowing anger and fury. In
dividing My land (Israel) and seeking to demoralize and destroy My people Israel, they have thrown
down the gauntlet, I the Lord of Hosts, the Almighty One, I will take them on."
"Therefore you who know Me, whom I have redeemed and saved at such cost, who seek to serve Me,
and to stand before Me in the place of Intercession, learn to abide in Me."
"Do not fear, but trust in Me for I will be your strength. Beware of uncommanded work, that you may not
uncover yourselves and become casualties. For all that which I command you to do, there is grace
and power and wisdom and you will be fully covered."
"Do not fear," says the Lord, "for I am in charge, and I will fulfil all My purpose. Out of this turmoil, I will
bring a saved multitude beyond number from amongst the nations. And I will bring the Wife, the Bride
of the Lamb, using the pressures, the afflictions and the turmoil, to purify and to refine her, if only in a
faithful remnant. And in the midst of all this shaking, in the very eye of the storm, I will save Israel. For I
will open her blinded eyes, and her closed mind and her locked heart, and she will recognize her
Messiah, her Lord and her Saviour. Tenderly and with unfailing love will I lead Israel. She who is
bespattered with blood, persecuted and hated, I the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, will bring out of this
turmoil, redeemed and with glory."
"Therefore in love, fear Me," says the Lord, "your Saviour and your Deliverer, and learn to wait on Me
and wait for Me. To such I will look, to those who have laid down their lives for My sake, who have
humbled themselves before Me, to them will I open My heart, and reveal My mind and give
understanding. For those that wait for Me shall never be confounded nor ashamed. But the self-
centred, the self-serving and the self contained, those who are proud and superior, they will be
broken," says the Lord.
"Put your trust in Me alone. Let Me be your all and you will come through this time with treasure, for I
will be your Eternal and unfading treasure."

Oasis
William Hawkins
Saturday Nov.21, 1998 8:30 PM
While at prayer at church Sat. night I was allowed to see the following.. I believe one is for the local
church and one is for the church at large. Attached is my interpretation of what was seen.
I was taken above a very large expanse of sand, sand as far as I could see.. At first I was very high up
and could not see many details.. Gradually I came closer to the ground and could make out details. It
indeed gave me the impression of seeing the Sahara desert. In the distance I could see an Oasis.. As
I went over the top of it I could see people below in the water and on the bank. Some were playing in
the water, others were washing in the water and some were drinking the water. Still others were on the
banks around the edge..
I went up then and could see in the distance another Oasis. I could see many tracks between this
Oasis and the one I had been close to. I went up again and could see then a whole string of Oasis
back away over the horizon and out of my sight. There were tracks between all of these, like a great
winding road from one to another..
The Lord spoke one word "COME" and everyone jumped up and ran back to the Oasis behind us. In a
minute He spoke again and said "COME" and they all got up and ran to the one they had just left. In
the distance ahead of me I could see another Oasis and there were NO TRACKS leaving this one and
going to it. Absolutely none, the sand was just like when it was created...
The scene was repeated several times with the same outcome, everyone would get up and go back
to where they had just come from..
This I believe has reference to our local church--God has taken us from one place in closeness in him
to another and yet we seem to always go back to the familiar places and not on across the unfamiliar
places to the next step or level. Last night in the Sun. evening service we went on to the next Oasis
and it indeed was unfamiliar ground. Our church never goes in worship with out having a message
from the pastor. Last night we never got out of worship, the Lord simply kept puling us in deeper and
Pastor went with HIM. I can see where this also might have relevance to other churches if they have
come to a place of stagnation and can not seem to go farther.
The second thing I was allowed to see ;
I was in an old building, a warehouse type of thing. Large and empty and very dirty. I was standing on
the floor looking at one wall that was mostly windows. They were so dirty that only a glow of light came
in. The floors were dirty and the walls also. There was not enough light to keep from stumbling over
things on the floor when you moved around..
I went over to the wall next to the windows and was standing there looking down the length of the wall
when Suddenly, oh very suddenly, the glass ALL blew in (like a great wind or storm) and I could see
like in slow motion the pieces breaking up and being thrown into the bldg. Then it all stopped and just
hung there , like you would freeze frame on movie file...Just stopped and hung there.. I could see
individual pieces and all the patterns and large chunks and small..
Then just as suddenly a great LIQUID, Golden Light came through everything and as it went inwards
through the glass and the room it cleaned everything as it went. The glass was squeaky clean and so
were the walls and the floors...There was great light coming through where the glass had been and
also through the glass pieces as they were still just suspended there...
Then I was gone and the Lord spoke the following; "Everything that is hidden will be exposed".. I have
learned to ask when I do not understand all that I see and I did so. This is what He said. This is coming
soon. Tell them, warn them to get things between themselves and me in right order now while they
may do so privately. When this comes all things will be exposed and they will not have the grace to do
so with me in their prayer closet or at my altar.......SOON !
This I believe is for the church at large, and us also...Everybody I guess..

The Vision of the ROAD,

Bob Neuman
On the late morning on Monday 3/16/98, resting and listening to a worship tape by Don Potter I suddenly found myself in
a very strange vision.
I was walking down a wide path in complete darkness; there was a solid luminescence to the path itself. I could see my
steps clearly and I could pick out the brightest area for each step. Before me and to either side was just pitch dark
farther than maybe 3 feet. And in my mind I began to hear the song "THY WORD IS A LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND A
LIGHT UNTO MY PATH". And the verse about the steps of a righteous man came to mind most clearly. So having a
strong confirming WORD and a "SONG OF DELIVERANCE" I knew that I had to follow where THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT
desired to lead. So knowing no better I began to sing "THE LORD IS MY LIGHT AND MY SALVATION." which is from
psalm 27. And the path got brighter! I began to notice others on the road but they did not appear to notice when I waved
or called out greetings. So I kept walking where the path was brightest. And although I periodically got very close to
others the still could not see me.
After a while I had this closed in feeling. And I briefly stopped and looked to either side. And it seemed there was walls to
either side of the road my path was on. After a time I realized there were sheer cliffs to either side that went up quite a
ways. And suddenly I started to hear noise to one side and then the other. As I tried to veer to the left the brightness of
the path faded. When I backtracked the brightness returned and my path was obvious. So as I walked the commotions to
either side increased the road began a sweeping curve and I found the path swerve to the left side of the road.
As I came to the far-left edge I began to hear words out of the noise. And suddenly I saw a man standing off the road and
he was saying. "The road is long and I know you're tired. Stop and rest a while". And I felt the urge to see what this was.
But as soon as I stepped toward the edge the "LIGHT" vanished. And I am not talking about fading. and I remember a
single clear thought come into my head when I found myself in darkness. "Oh, no!". And I jumped back in utter panic
thinking I am cut off from THE LIGHT. But as soon as I was back the LIGHT WAS. And it was brighter.
And the line from Job about fleeing temptation seared through my spirit. At this point I knew there was something here for
me to understand. And for the first time in this vision I heard the SPIRIT say something. And it was "LOOK". And now I
could see the entice (the title was out of my spirit most clearly) and there were people getting off the road and sitting.
And suddenly I knew I was seeing the warning of PSALM 1 not being heeded.
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 but his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
With this revelation I could see the mountain rising above the road and the outline of a city at the top. As I wondered
about it I felt a sudden urge to begin walking again. And now the path veered to the right edge and there was a man
standing and he called out. ''all who are weary and heavy burdened, come unto me and I will give you rest". So cautiously
I stepped toward the edge and again was in darkness. So with confidence I stepped back into the light and again my
sight increased. Here too others had gotten off the road and were sitting. And above them I saw the outline of a city.
Again the path turned to the left and now the city above the road was lit up. There was a well-dressed man of mature
years and he said "we are the city of light, the source of all illumination, join us and get understanding." And again many
were sitting along the roadside listening.
Now the path turned right and there was a man in a three-piece suit and a big book in his hand. And he was preaching.
''WE are the light of the world.'', and someone turned the lights of that city on. Their timing was good; if you like scripted
effect. He was still preaching to a fast growing crowd when I turned with the path.
And I went back and forth from left to right as a sailboat tacks against the wind to travel upstream. The left side had
some great sounding blues music that seemed to come out of nowhere above loaded banquet tables. "The food is great
and the booze is flowing. Come on and party!!!'' There were people laughing and playing. When I came to the right it
seemed the same song was playing but the tempo had changed. There were tables filled with people and they were
laughing and playing. And I heard "there is still room. We have the best bread and the new wine".
As I continued to travel the road narrowed steadily. And what I would find on the left repeated immediately to the right.
But there are two parallels worth mentioning. In time as the road narrowed the path skirted the very edge. On the left was
a young man and he said. "They don't appreciate you over there" as he pointed to the right side. "They don't know the
power you have." and he called me by name. He could see me. All the earlier temptation were generalized and
broadcasted to all on the road. "Join us and you will be recognized and have all the things you have been denied". As I
walked away he continued to promise things I had wanted to leave behind years ago.
It seemed in only a few steps I was passing a young man on the right who called out "Brother Bob, thank GOD you
finally got here. We've been waiting for you." I looked at him and said. YOU'RE NOT ON THE ROAD. He smiled and said
"your journey is over, it is time to stop wandering and be of service." and I remember the hurt in his eyes as I kept
walking in the LIGHT.
Next on the left was an attractive woman, mature and refined. I was so close she could reach out and touch my arm,
which she did. And with the most sultry voice imaginable she offered. and I wanted to run but my feet would not move in
my spirit I cried out "LORD I DON'T WANT THIS." and the VOICE of the MOST HOLY SPIRIT said LISTEN, WATCH,
LEARN. As I watched her and listened the offerings of enticement increased. And I watched as her form changed. The
clothing became enticing, the face younger, the figure voluptuous. skin tones changed, eyes and features changed.
"What ever you can imagine I can give you." with that she began to expose herself and worse. Suddenly my feet were
free and I walked rapidly. all of three steps. And on my right was an attractive woman, mature and refined. she too
touched my arm. "You are the SENT ONE and there is nothing we will not do to please you". And she too began to
morph. and I understood that it was the same spirit. Suddenly to my right and to my left was the woman/demon.
mirroring each other. And I yelled, "shut up". And suddenly I had a pair of twin gargoyles spitting curses at me. And for
the first time on this "journey" I felt comfortable. And again I began to sing from my spirit and my two 'companions' sort of
faded into the darkness.
And I resumed my walk. And the road shrank to the path of light as the walls brushed my shoulders and I began to sing
"IN YOUR PRESENCE.THAT'S WHERE I AM STRONG.IN YOUR PRESENCE OH LORD, MY GOD." I was in the 'cleft
of the rock'. And suddenly I stepped into GLORY. And before me HE again stood and just smiled. And with that odd sort
of twinkle in HIS EYES HE asked. "HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?"
And I had to laugh. "It wasn't what I think it was, was it?" with almost a theatric sigh HE sort of leaned to the side as to
be looking at something .and stated. "YOU NEVER LOOKED BEHIND YOU DID YOU?'' and with HIS HAND on my
shoulder I turned back and saw this vast line of people that had been walking behind me.
That is the vision. The final discussion I appeared to have with the KING OF GLORY I was told not to write at this time.
Nor to comment beyond this narration.

Oh How My Heart's Aching...

Oh how my heart's aching for the motherless and fatherless children. For those who never knew the love and genuine
concern of parental caring. All over the world the children and youth are restless. What kind of world will it be when they
reach adulthood? ??What will they do??? What will they do???
Many NOW have no one who cares for them. Many are bored, neglected, uncared for and lonely. Who will care for the
youth? Who will care for the fatherless children?
As the world around them crumbles politically, economically, environmentally, spiritually and emotionally, and people
grow more selfish daily, where will the children have refuge? In the depression many were abandoned. In history when
there were plagues, wars, famines , disasters, they were abandoned. The longing in their eyes and the poverty of their
souls, bodies and spirits cry out behind those tell-tale hungry eyes.
"Who will open their eyes ?"says the Lord.

"Who will not refuse the longing?" says the Lord.
"Who will care for MY children?" says the Lord.
"Who will go for US?" says the Lord.
"Who will ease their pain?" says the Lord.
"Who will feed MY lambs ?" says the Lord.

The Omens of Liars

Bryan Hupperts
December 2, 1998
Isaiah 44: 24 "I am the LORD, who made all things, who stretched out the heavens alone,
who spread out the earth--Who was with me?-- who frustrates the omens of liars, and
makes fools of diviners; who turns wise men back, and makes their knowledge foolish;
who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messengers."
Hi, SheepTrax!
God does all things by his own counsel and then reveals his secrets to men as He chooses. He asks
direction, opinion, and advice from no one for he created Wisdom. He describes himself as "He who
was, and is, and is to come." He alone is God.
Yesterday I was at the gas pump laughing how inexpensive gas prices are. The stock market seems
to be booming and we're a land at rest. All of the social and economic omens say all will be well with
America. All seems beguilingly carefree. In my spirit, I suddenly felt the Lord whisper, "1929 again."
1929 was one of the greatest economic years in the history of the USA. We had plenty of wine,
women and song. We were coming off the victory of a World War and American seemed invincible.
And then the bottom fell out and we were plunged into a Great Depression. Most people who left the
farm for the city returned to the farm because they could no longer support themselves. Desperate
men plunged from skyscrapers even as the stock market plunged, and fell to their deaths even as their
false god fell in single a day. The good times suddenly came to a screeching, grinding halt.
Today I hear prophets, both from the church and world, nervously declaring that the best days are still
before us! So what that Asian economies have fallen. So what that nuclear Russia is in the hands of
mobsters. So what that a few million people in North Korea have starved to death. So what that by
2010 over 40 million children worldwide will be orphans because of AIDS. So what? We're America
the Great!
I would to God that we were called America the Humble because a broken and contrite spirit God
never rejects.
God says that he will frustrate the lies of the wise men of this age but he will, "confirm the word of his
servant, and perform the counsel of his messengers." Bad times for the world means good times for
the kingdom of God. When there is no more disposable income to waste on $3.99 per minute
psychics, when medical science cannot offer a cure for the wasting plagues that are here even now,
the church of the Lord Jesus Christ will shine brightly in the darkness as both a beacon of Truth and as
a refuge for the broken who seek healing.
The fools and boasters who proclaim the Greatness of America will be silenced as this land ours is
laid waste and devoured by debt, invasion, and plague. We will be cast into a debtor's prison and will
not leave until we can repay all. Our food reserves are diminished greatly as we have stretched
ourselves past the breaking point. We have hardened our hearts as a stiff-necked rebellious nation
and shall suddenly be broken. We shall snap even as a man is hung and his neck snaps under his
own weight. The cords of our sin shall be our gallows.
God is bent on humbling this country before the entire world. Our pride has been a stench in the
nostrils of the Most High and the measure of our sin is "pressed down, shaken together, and running
over." We have reached the flashpoint of judgment.
Yet if we repent, there is still mercy even in the midst of judgment. It is never the heart of God that any
should perish but that all should come to repentance. He still loves this rebellious nation and would still
rule over us in righteousness. He remembers the covenants that our forefathers made with him and
would gladly honor them - if we will humble ourselves, seeking first the kingdom of God, and honor him
first!
One madman with a biological weapon can stop an army and starve a nation. We're like the man who
stalked a mountain lion for a trophy but stepped an unseen scorpion and was mortally stung. We don't
see the enemy who stalks us and sees us clearly through his sniper's scope. In many places, our
nation shall become the haunt of jackals and wild animals because of mass death. The moral pollution
and filth we have trafficked to the world shall come back to haunt us. We have taught the world to sing
the songs of whores (thank you MTV) and we're dancing blindly right over the edge of the abyss to our
own destruction. And still the party rolls on.
Jesus warned, "Fall upon the rock and be broken, or the Rock will fall upon you and shatter you to
dust." Shattered men who have reaped the whirlwind of their own sin will cry out to God from the
depths of their brokenness, some to curse him, and other to embrace him and his free gift everlasting
life. Jesus is still appointed for the "rising and falling of many."
Don't be deceived by the omens of liars. God is coming with the scales of justice. The blood of the
unborn cries out to him. Those who have been snared by our sin hate us and demand of God that he
act. Seek the Lord while he may be found. He is coming to judge this nation.

On A Heavenly Level
Dream by Carolyn Cook
and headings to help in interpretation by Paula M. Cavu.
D&V List No.209 Daystar Ministry

daystar@uq.net.au
Pastor Cavu, Greetings in the Name of our Lord. I wasn't going to send this, but it was emblazoned on
my mind like a brand. I was quite shaken by it. They seem to be getting more that way. Sept. 30th,
1998.
Prior to this I was calling out to God, I just want to be in His Presence continually. It was also the third
day of a fast and travail. Psalm 50 : Cast me not away from THY PRESENCE ..Take not thy Holy
Spirit... A broken and a contrite heart, O God.(one of my favorites).
The Dream:
THE OPENING UP OF THE HEAVENS TO ANNOUNCE THE COMING OF THE BRIDEGROOM.

I was standing on a heavenly level. There was mist & fluffy clouds around. I was facing this brilliant light
that cracked a jagged hole through the clouds (sort of a door was behind this and the light came from
it) I kept getting this whisper "He's Coming." That filled me with excitement and nervousness (if you
know what I mean) I also felt that He was going to take me up there and show me (what or when I have
no idea)
A PICTURE OF THE BRIDE BEING EXAMINED AND GROOMED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I see my back and I am wearing a long plain ugly wide - sleeved white gown. I am reaching my right
arm towards the light. A huge white dove flutters down in slow motion in front of me and lands on top of
my fingers like a hawk. " He's Coming."(that thrill again). The dove looks lovingly into my face, head
cocked to the right. I start to weep. It's as though it's admiring, listening, wings fluttering. I have never
felt such love. It flutters up into the light & returns & flutters beside my head & right ear. It kisses me
with it's beak all over my right side of my face. Then sticks it's beak into my ear & flaps it's wings
extremely hard but slowly & fans me all over sweeping it's wings over the front and the back. It returns
into the absorbing light. " He's Coming." A thrill surges through me.
THE SPIRITUAL SONGS OF THE BRIDE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT (Eph.5:18-24)
I have expectancy & feel a quaking in me, because I know He's coming. I start to sing & lift my voice &
out of my mouth come miniature doves (there are those little doves again) They carry gold nuggets in
their tiny claws (like mirrored rocks again) " He's coming for me ."
THE BRIDE'S INTERCESSION FOR CHRISTIANS WHO DID NOT MAKE THE PERFECTION
REQUIREMENT FOR PRIESTHOOD/BRIDE. (Lev 22:21-24).
I then see all these deformed crooked bodies around me. With tears streaming down my face (I
always cry when I see pain and suffering) I carefully pick them up & lift them to Him (It surprises me
that I can so easily - His strength) Then suddenly huge hands reach out & take each of them into the
light.
EXAMINATION BY THE BRIDEGROOM OF THE BRIDE WHO IS GROWING IN HIS LIKENESS.

Then the hands & body come out. He has the exact same gown on as I & walks slowly around me &
examines me, so lovingly. I was so embarrassed. He has wings on His back (I thought that was
strange, I didn't know He had wings...Then I remember Psalm 91: 4 ..His feathers... under His Wings..
That certainly blew me away. (That could be a pun) He circles me. I can't look up at Him.
I grow these wings, funny looking things. Plain, sort of brown and some bits of gold. But mostly a
molten brown. Oh, how angelic, I thought (I actually try to imagine them white, as if I am in control). He
walks in front of me & I lift my chin to Him, chin in His hand, eyes closed (I still can't look at Him.) I give
Him my voice & all of me. I don't know how exactly, but I knew I did.
INWARD CLEANSING OF THE BRIDE FROM DECEIVING SPIRITS (FACELESS BUDGIES AND
NOT DOVES).
I opened my mouth to Him & He reached in deep down & pulled out 3 dead budgies (that is strange). I
couldn't even speculate, there weren't budgies on your list at all. They were partially green on their
bellies and black all over the top (like petrified burnt wood) Their heads were pressed against their
chests. They looked black - charred and dead. There was no face or beak.
THE BRIDE IS TOTALLY CLEANSED AND ACQUIRES A HEAVENLY VOICE AND DIVINE ABILITY
TO FLY IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN ONENESS WITH THE BRIDEGROOM.
I started to sing like Ariel (from The Little Mermaid, when she went aaaaaaahhhhh) I wish!! He comes
behind me and braids my hair with gold, pearls and babies breath. Then He started to stir His Wings
& flutter them around me, as if to say come on, you can do it (It's not an audible voice, but you know
what's said) Surprisingly, my wings start to move with His. It's not like I control them, He does in me.
We start to sing and dance like children. It's like total abandon. For awhile we danced. Then I began to
fly, I was so free & I flew & I flew through the clouds. I sensed He was with me. I wasn't afraid for once
in my life. " He's Coming"
THE CLEANSED BRIDE EXERCISING THE RESURRECTION POWER AND AUTHORITY OF THE
BRIDEGROOM OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY.
I flew lower & lower, then I saw a huge reptile on top of someone. Like a cobra ready to strike. I looked
so little, but I was so angry. I rushed down there & grabbed the gills (or whatever they are called) &
wrestled & wrestled. It hadn't seen me coming. I ripped off the gills & killed it. I saw another reptile (like
a dinosaur - the one with the trail of scales down it's back) I fought it & broke it's neck.
Then this huge dragon thing was in front of me . It was sooooo big. Very intimidating!!! It actually
spoke to me. It said " You wanted to talk to me" I thought no!!! Immediately, I remembered the prayer
for our dear sister who had fallen. I had spoken out in authority and said " Devil, you will not have her,
we will fight for her. God gave me the boldness to pray that. I was shocked. Then I started to rise up on
a Rock, hands folded in front. I then noticed the eyes on it were glazed and white. IT WAS BLIND!!!!!
(Praying in the Spirit is a formidable weapon I realized right then). I reached back as if to draw an
arrow, and drew my sword. It was as if Jesus was half behind me half in me (if that makes sense) With
His Hand in mine, we threw the sword. It went right through the heartless thing, before it even knew
what hit it. It was like popping a balloon. The air swished out.
THE BRIDE WITH THE IRON FISTS WILL DEMONSTRATE HER ABILITY TO RESIST ALL
MANNER OF DEMONIC HOSTS AND WILL ABLE TO ESCAPE TO THE BRIDEGROOM AND TO
GLORY.
I was still standing on the pillar of Rock, when swarms of creatures came at me. I could not describe
these dinosaur, reptile, half this, triple headed, etc. So gross and ugly beyond imagining. I fought and
fought desperately, for a long time, so many of them. "He's Coming" I had iron - like fists (You're
probably thinking - This woman watches too many super hero movies.) Honestly, I don't. I beat them off
with my fists as I rose straight up on the pillar (Rock). Up to the light & those huge hands came out &
picked me up like a feather into Glory (For once in my life, I felt puny and short) I fell down at His feet
exhausted (panting) I clung to His feet & legs. He gently cupped me in His hands & lifted my weary,
limp body to His lap. I felt like Edith Ann (Do you remember Lily Tomlin's impersonation of the little girl
on the big chair) (Oh brother - I am getting tired I think) I collapsed against his chest. I always wished I
had a Dad to do that to (don't we all) WE DO!!!
I cannot begin to explain those Hands. They were beautiful and strong .They rubbed my head & hair &
squeezed me so close. I WAS IN HEAVEN!!!! The Hands were so vivid. I could see everything. His
Face had dark shadows in front of the light (1 Cor. 13 Now we see through a glass darkly....see face
to face. As I lay there in a cocoon(the same as when I was in my room alone on the floor when I was
five) I felt I had my Daddy now. I never truly had a Daddy. Revelation.
THE BRIDE WILL HAVE THE SCARS/MARKS OF BATTLE AND THE ANGELS WILL MINISTER
UNTO HER (Heb 1:13-14).
After a long while I sat up as if I came up there all the time. I jumped down & took off flying again (I so
loved the freedom) It was then that I saw miraculously into the spirit realm. My wings were ripped &
torn & there were scars in so many places. I toppled & stumbled while I flew numerous times, but there
were many angels around me pushing & nudging me upright again. I was totally oblivious, in my own
little world (content) I continued on my merry way. " He's Coming"
I recently discovered that there is a woman in the bible with wings. (I was stunned. I found that was too
much) Revelation 12 There's a dragon too. I thought of travail and birth in the spirit realm and when
she (the church) has delivered, she remembers her pains no more. I guess I am like Thomas. I need
pictures and dreams to sustain me. I feel that this is so sacred, as though I have walked on Holy
Ground. I feel shaky every time I think on it. Could you please interpret it for me, when you have time. I
would appreciate that so much!!!!!
God Richly Bless You!!!!!! In Christ's Name

One More Chance

Cindy Jacobs
Prophecy for Europe:...
And the Lord would say I'm renewing ancient covenants. I'm calling together ancient kingdoms. I'm the
ancient of days. I'm doing a new thing in Europe. I'm going to release from this conference and even in
the coming days a new anointing for Europe. I'm calling back to ancient times when I stirred my
people to take Jerusalem I'm calling out my warriors and my war horses forth.
And as I was standing in the worship, I began to have a vision and the vision I saw was this:
I saw armies of God coming forth and I saw from Britain, they came forth and got on black horses. And
I saw that they got on these huge war steeds and they began to head out across the 10/40 window in
the middle east and I saw them come from Spain, France and they were on white steeds –magnificent
white stallions and the Lord says, I'm bringing forth those from France and Spain and they're going to
join the armies for I'm finding my remnant. I'm calling forth from all of Europe a remnant for I'm doing a
new thing in this continent –greater than you can imagine!
And I could see from nation after nation, Scotland, Ireland, I saw the Holy Spirit do a linking between
Britain and Germany that was like a forged covenanted seal and the Lord says, I'm calling back
ancient relationships and what I wanted to do back in years past but Satan perverted it, destroyed it
through man's sinfulness.
And I saw that they all wore white garments and I said, Lord what are these and who are these? And
the Lord said, these are those whose garments are washed in the blood of the lamb. These are those
who have been through the fire of my dealings and my purging and they are walking in a level of
holiness where I won't allow even a single thought of wickedness to go through their mind without
being cast down. I'm calling to a new level that my people have not known before, of holiness and
righteousness for righteousness exalts a nation, says the Lord.
I can hear the clatter of the horses hooves. Nations after nations came and entered into righteous
covenants, holy covenants. And the Lord says, I am giving you a second chance. And I could see a
chalice being passed back and forth. And I said, what is this? And He said, this is my covenant, for
they are coming together with a blood covenant that can not be broken by human hands.
And I could see them begin and they had loaves of bread in their hands and they were each taken part
of these loaves of bread. And the Lord says, This is symbolic of My body broken that they can be
intimate with me.
I could see worshippers going before the ark. And they had banners lifted up –the banner of the Lord
and it said –Salvation unto our God, holiness unto the Lord. And they had bells on these banners and
they were chiming.
And the Lord says, My people is going to walk in the fruit of the Spirit for I am going to have them
march across the nations with a kindness and a tenderness and they are not coming with
triumphalism and a conquering spirit, but they'll come to serve.
And I could see behind them huge storehouses and truckloads of food. And the Lord says, This army
is going to have a heart for the poor. And I am going to change how the Middle East looks at Europe
for it is a new day and it is a turning of a new hour. And the Lord says, I am going to change the guard
of leadership and those who will walk in purity and holiness will go this way and those who are not are
going to fall into oblivion. And I'm going to cause the fear of the Lord to fall upon this army And I'm
going to cause my name to be feared from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same. And
I'm going to rise as the Lawgiver of the nations and I'm going to extend my anointing and I would say,
You have not seen me as I am getting ready to show myself!
The Lord says, There are places in the Middle East that are getting ready to have an extreme famine.
Prepare, says the Lord, for I'm going to send the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Go and give a cup of cold
water in my name. And I could see the Lord establishing churches, mosques turning into churches, I
see a great move of the Holy Spirit. The Lord says, look at the Muslims in Britain for I am getting ready
to bring a Revival! Will you be part of the army of God, will you ride with me? For I'm renewing ancient
covenants. And ancient pacts. And I am giving Europe a second chance! Says the Lord your God.

Opening Prayer
Joe Wright
When Pastor Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was
expecting the usual politically correct generalities. But on January 23, 1996, what they heard instead
was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate - with a number of legislators walking out during the prayer. In six short
weeks Central Christian Church logged more than 5,000 phone calls, with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. Commentator Paul Harvey aired Pastor Joe Wright's prayer on the radio and
received a larger response to this program than any other program Paul Harvey has ever aired. In
addition, Central Christian Church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer
from India, Africa, and Korea.
The prayer is reprinted below as an encouragement and challenge for each of us to stand for the truth
of the Gospel wherever the Lord gives us opportunity.
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we
have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.
We confess that:
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;
We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism;
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare;
We have killed our unborn and called it choice;
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable;
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building selfesteem;
We have abused power and called it political savvy;
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition;
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of
expression;
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who
have been ordained by You, to govern this great state. Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their
decisions direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Savior, Jesus
Christ. Amen.

Operation Queen's Palace

MEMORANDUM
To: International Spiritual Warfare Network members

Cc: Selected Leaders
From: C. Peter Wagner, Coordinator
Date: December 1, 1997
Subject: Operation Queen's Palace, September 1999
I am enclosing a rather lengthy document proposing what might turn out to be the most massive prayer journey
associated with the 10/40 Window of the decade. Although the vision for doing this is only two months old, I have found
incredible affirmation of the idea and strong interest in active participation wherever I have been able to share the ideas as
they have been taking shape. I won't repeat what I have written in the document, but these next comments assume that
you will have read it.
The spiritual mapping. Operation Queen's Palace should be the best informed prayer journey yet. Some will do the
spiritual mapping of Turkey, laying out the different sites for prayer and the ways to target our prayers. Others will do the
spiritual mapping of their cities, nations, and regions, concentrating especially on the activities of the Queen of Heaven
through her many princesses wearing different disguises. This will be sent in to the spiritual mapping library of the World
Prayer Center. Members and friends of the Spiritual Warfare Network should all play an active role in this crucial
undertaking over the next two years.
Logistical coordination. The Christian Information Network, coordinator of all the Praying Through the Window events, will
coordinate Operation Queen's Palace. They will keep track of which prayer teams are planning to go where when we all
get to Turkey, and also they will collate as much of the information as they can on the local, national, and regional
intercessory and prophetic acts so that everyone else will know what is happing in your city and in your country, unless
there are reasons why what you do should be kept in confidence. If you plan to participate in Operation Queen's Palace,
please let CIN know as soon as you can.
Travel plans. Travel to and from Turkey will not be coordinated from any central office, although we hope to have someone
in Izmir (formerly Smyrna) keeping track of local accommodations, transportation to the various target sites, bilingual tour
guides when necessary, and other arrangements. The use of travel agents will be on a free market basis. Our office will
receive and distribute travel proposals from selected travel agents, but the choice will be up to the individuals or teams
concerned.
Please send me as much feedback on this extremely important event as you possibly can. I know that God has much to
reveal to us through the whole SWN, so let's begin an open flow of information. Meanwhile, I will keep you as well
informed as I can.

OPERATION QUEEN'S PALACE

(Also known as "LOVE TURKEY")
C. Peter Wagner
A Proposal for a Major International Prayer Journey and Prophetic Act
Place: Turkey
Date: September 20-30, 1999
Sponsor: International Spiritual Warfare Network
Purpose: To pray the blessing of God on the people of Turkey and
other nations of the 10/40 Window and beyond through prophetic intercession
at the home base of the Queen of Heaven
Background
As a part of Praying Through the Window III, Doris and I felt led to pray for the Turks. So we took a prayer journey to
Turkey in August, timed to meet up with the intercessors on the Reconciliation Walk who are repenting for the sins of the
Crusades 900 years ago. I helped commission the first team that left Cologne, Germany on Easter 1996. This was the
mid-point in Istanbul, and we hope to be on site for the finale in Jerusalem, July 1999.
Our specific prayer actions for the Turks took place primarily at the temple of Diana of the Ephesians (Acts 19:35) and at
the seat of Satan (Rev. 2:13) in Pergamum. While we were still in Istanbul, we had received a fax from our I-1 intercessor,
Alice Smith, telling us what she was hearing from God as she had been praying for us. We followed Alice's suggestions,
using her fax as a script for our prayers in both places.
Alice went on to quote Rev. 2:17: "To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him
a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." She wrote, "Peter,
could it be that the prayers you pray and the contracts of Satan that you break in Pergamum could grant you new
revelation (hidden manna) for the next steps in the fulfilling of the great commission?" And also, "Could the Lord be
saying that He wants you to trade the meaning of your name (Peter = rock, stone) for a new 'white stone?' Not just any
white stone, but a victor's white stone coming from the throne of God engraved with a new name? And this new name
(known only to you and God) will help authenticate the new revelation necessary for the church to overcome as well."
I now have the physical white stone from Pergamum in my study. I am not yet sure about the new name. But I do think
that the step in fulfilling the great commission(the hidden manna) is Operation Queen's Palace.
Why Ephesus?
The greatest evangelistic harvest throughout the career of the Apostle Paul was in Ephesus. He spent two years there,
and during that time the whole province of Asia Minor (Turkey) was evangelized.
Spiritual warfare on all levels was a key to Paul's great success. The ruling spirit over Ephesus and Asia Minor was
Diana of the Ephesians, and her temple there was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Reportedly she was the
most worshipped deity in the Roman Empire.
According to Acts 19, when Paul went to Ephesus he cast many demons out of individuals and he saw a people
movement among magicians. This eroded Diana's authority so much that she began to lose her power and she could no
longer keep her territory in darkness. The local idol makers were losing so much business that they started a riot in the
huge outdoor theater.
After Paul left, the Apostle John went to Ephesus to finish his career. Among other things, he wrote Revelation at the
nearby Island of Patmos where he was exiled for a time. While Paul did not enter Diana's temple for a prayer assault,
John did. According to Yale University historian Ramsey MacMullen, John confronted her directly, prayed that she would
be served a divine eviction notice, and when he did a portion of the temple collapsed.
From then on it was downhill for Diana. Her power diminished and fifty years later very few in the Roman Empire were
worshipping her. Meanwhile, Ephesus became the center of world Christianity for the next 200 years.
The Queen of Heaven
While we were in Turkey, Doris and I learned a great deal about the Queen of Heaven. This principality is so powerful and
so malicious that, as far as I know, her worshippers are the only ones in the Bible for whom God prohibits prayer.
Jeremiah 7:16 says: "Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to
Me; for I will not hear you." Why? "The women knead their dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven" (Jer. 7:18).
Almost every major prayer initiative that we have held in connection with the Spiritual Warfare Network in different parts of
the world has surfaced the Queen of Heaven in one form or another. She has succeeded much too much in spreading her
power to keep people from the gospel, perhaps more than any other principality of darkness.
Among other things we learned that she is at the spiritual roots of Islam, in the form of the moon goddess. We heard that
Muslim leaders will not allow archaeological digs in Mecca because the connection between the moon goddess and
Islam would then be highlighted scientifically, while Islam desires to maintain its public image of monotheism. The
symbol of the moon goddess is the crescent moon, which appears on every mosque as well as on the flags of many
Muslim nations.
As we prayed for the Turks, we knew that the power of the Queen of Heaven had to be broken in order for the gospel to
spread in Turkey. Doris sensed this very strongly when we prayed near the altar of Diana. The evil power is still there,
and it is very strong. While there we realized something else for the first time. We had been very familiar with the multi-
breasted idol of Diana. But closer examination showed that she wears the crescent, the symbol of the moon goddess,
around her neck!
Disguised as the Virgin Mary
When the Apostle John went to Ephesus, he took Mary, the mother of Jesus, with him. While on the cross, Jesus had
commended his mother to John (Jn. 19:26-27). In Ephesus, Mary, by then undoubtedly a grandmother, died. An ornate
shrine in today's Ephesus marks where she reportedly lived. Daily people kneel in the shrine to worship her idol.
As the center of world Christianity shifted from Ephesus to Rome, Mary began to be exalted, worshipped, and prayed to
as a mediator to God. It is not surprising, then, that the Roman Catholic Church would choose Ephesus as the place to
convene an ecumenical council in 431 in order to declare officially that Mary is the "Mother of God." This began a steady
increase of Mary worship through the centuries and lasting until today. According to the August 1997 Newsweek cover
story, for example, over 4 million petitions have been received by the Vatican to declare Mary co-redemptrix with Jesus. If
this becomes dogma, all Catholic prayers to Jesus will be expected to go first to Mary. Pope John Paul II is a declared
worshipper of Mary and he bows before her and prays to her as a mediator. Her idols have proliferated more around the
world than Diana's ever had.
Mary is a skillful adaptive deception of the Queen of Heaven. Since Diana became worthless after the spiritual warfare of
Paul and John, the Queen of Heaven needed another disguise. When I suggested this to Hector Torres after returning
from Turkey, he said, "Of course. Don't you realize how many pictures and idols of the Virgin Mary in Latin America have
her connected to the crescent moon, the symbol of the moon goddess?" This was news to me, but as soon as I looked,
there it was! In fact, one of the frequent titles given by Catholics to Mary is "Queen of Heaven."
Doris and I were horrified when, in 1996, we visited Rome for the first time and took a guided tour of the Vatican. We had
not been inside the building for more than 10 minutes when we were startled to see a life-sized statue of Diana of the
Ephesians on public display.
The Vision for Operation Queen's Palace
Cindy Jacobs was in our home on Labor Day when we debriefed about Turkey. As we were describing what we had
learned, she said, "For several years we have been doing battle against the Queen of Heaven in many parts of the world.
The time has come for a frontal assault. Why not call together the Spiritual Warfare Network intercessors from the
nations of the world for a massive prayer initiative right where one of her centers of power lies?" It turned out to be one of
those electric moments. Instantly Doris, Cindy and I knew that it was God's will, and Operation Queen's Palace was
born. I immediately sensed that this was the revelation, the "hidden manna," that God had given me in Pergamum.
We agreed that before we shared this vision with others, we would need to consult with Bobbye Byerly and Chuck
Pierce, our SWN prayer leaders, for their discernment. Both of them had an immediate witness from the Spirit that this
should be done. In fact, they saw it as the outward form of something that they had been sensing in prayer for some
time.
Why September 1999?
Presumably our highlighted prayer effort for Praying Through the Window IV will be October 1999. At this writing, the
content and focus of this event has not been determined other than to continue our practice of targeting the lost people of
the 10/40 Window, and possibly expanding our sphere of aggressive prayer to peoples in other parts of the world as we
close the millenium.
We feel that Operation Queen's Palace, while taking place in only one of the 64 nations of the 10/40 Window (possibly
spilling over to some adjacent areas also), will have a strong ripple effect on virtually all of the 10/40 Window. An obvious
example would be Japan, a nation dedicated to the sun goddess, another deceptive adaptation of the Queen of Heaven. If
this is the case, the way will be prepared for effective prayer mop-up initiatives throughout the Window in whatever form
God chooses for us.
The last days of September, therefore, would be the best time for this massive prayer assault to occur, preparing the way
in the invisible world for the worldwide prayer in one accord in Praying Through the Window IV (our last initiative of this
particular AD2000 United Prayer Track series). This is parallel to Operation Ice Castle, the prayer journey to Mt. Everest
led by Ana Mendez and Doris Wagner during the last week of September 1997, immediately preceding Praying Through
the Window III.
A further reason for this date is that the Reconciliation Walk will be completed in July 1999, just two months previously.
Let me explain:
The Reconciliation Walk
I mentioned the Reconciliation Walk in the introduction to this paper. Thousands of intercessors are doing this prayer
expedition, walking all the known routes of the First Crusade, which left Cologne, Germany under Peter the Hermit, on
Easter 1096. The one agenda item of this massive prayer initiative is repentance - apologizing to Muslims and Jews for
the atrocities committed against them by our Christian ancestors. This is not the place to report the details, but it is
turning out extremely well and living up to the highest expectations of Lynn Green, John and Yvonne Presdee, Steve
Hawthorne, and other leaders.
The Reconciliation Walk is one of the highest profile acts of identificational repentance in our decade, following the
principles laid out in John Dawson's Healing America's Wounds (Regal Books). What happens, theologically speaking, is
that massive corporate repentance such as this, on the pattern of 2 Chronicles 7:14, is one of the most effective means
of tearing down the strongholds of the enemy (2 Cor. 10:4-5). Satan has used the wounds inflicted in the Crusades as a
primary stronghold to blind the minds of Muslims and Jews to the gospel for centuries. In my opinion, the Reconciliation
Walk is the most promising action ever taken to open the Muslim world to the love of Christ and to the full blessing of
God. Whatever it does accomplish in the invisible world will have been done by July 1999, preparing the way for
Operation Queen's Palace.
Numerous Prayer Assignments
Over the next few months The Sentinel Group will coordinate the groundwork spiritual mapping for Operation Queen's
Palace. I would anticipate that massive amounts of previously little-known information concerning the Queen of Heaven
will surface and become known to us. God will raise up teams of intercessors from dozens of nations of the world who
will participate in this event. Korea has already set the goal of sending 500. How many actual places for prayer will be
pinpointed in Turkey is not known, but possibilities are the site of the Garden of Eden, Mount Aarat, Ur of the Chaldees,
Antioch, Tarsus, Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, the Island of Patmos, the seven churches of Revelation, Nicea, Istanbul, Troas,
Miletus, Colosse, and many others.
The Christian Information Network will coordinate the entire prayer journey as it has Praying Through the Window I, II and
III. By then we are believing that the World Prayer Center of Colorado Springs will be up and running. The offices of The
Sentinel Group, Christian Information Network, and Global Harvest Ministries will all be housed in that new facility, so it
will serve as the headquarters of Operation Queen's Palace.
"Great Is Jesus of Nazareth!"
Doris and I hired a Turkish guide for our prayer journey to Ephesus and Pergamum. In Ephesus we entered the huge
amphitheater where the silversmiths who were selling Diana's idols had precipitated a riot at the time Paul was
evangelizing Ephesus. It is beautifully restored and has a capacity for seating 25,000.
It was here that I called a temporary halt to our tour and formally presented the Turkish version of the Reconciliation Walk
apology statement to our Muslim guide, adding our own words of personal remorse for the sins of our predecessors
against the Turks. Our guide, who knew the story of the Crusades better than we, read it and was strongly touched.
Doris and I sensed the presence of the Holy Spirit.
At that moment, God gave me the vision of seeing those massive rows of marble seats filled with Christians in prayer and
praise. Acts 19:34 says that for two hours the idol worshippers of Ephesus cried out, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" I
believe He showed us that Christians, in that very place, would one day cry out, "Great is Jesus of Nazareth!" for four
hours. Ephesus was once the center of world Christianity. It is time to take that land back for the kingdom.
The Celebration
Operation Queen's Palace will be coordinated so that each team of intercessors will accomplish their prayer acts,
wherever they might be, in time to arrive at Ephesus on the same day. We will approach the Turkish government for
permission to occupy the amphitheater in Ephesus for a Christian prayer pilgrimage, praying God's blessing on Turkey,
and calling it "Love Turkey." Turkey has a secular government, its constitution guarantees religious freedom, and
Christians are expected to gather together from time to time to pray. We will be careful not to disobey any Turkish laws.
Our meeting will have no political overtones. We will not be evangelizing. In fact there will be no speeches, no preaching,
no teaching; just prayer, praise, worship, and scripture. There will be no overt warfare prayer because the prayer and
prophetic intercession will have previously been accomplished all over the country. We will gather to celebrate.
For some time the worship leaders for our Global Harvest International Conferences on Prayer and Spiritual Warfare have
been Ross Parsley of New Life Church and David Morris of Springs Harvest Fellowship, both of Colorado Springs. Ross
and David have agreed to design and implement the four-hour program. Ted Haggard of New Life Church and the World
Prayer Center has agreed to serve as conference pastor for the event.
While I was recently in Korea (October 1997), I spoke to my friend Pastor Kim Sundo of the Kwang Lim Methodist
Church (at 80,000, the world's largest Methodist church). He had invited us to use his Kwang Lim Prayer Mountain for our
International Spiritual Warfare Network Gideon's Army meeting in 1993 (providing, as a gift from the church, not only our
lodging, but also food for 300 people). As a treat for the group, the Kwang Lim choir came one evening and ministered to
us in song. So I asked Bishop Kim (He is not only the Methodist bishop for Korea, but he is also the president of all the
world's Methodist bishops.) if he would consider bringing his choir to Ephesus to conclude our four-hour celebration with
a rendering of Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus." His answer was, "Yes, of course. Can I bring 100?" We are in for another
treat!
Prayer throughout the Court of the Queen
Virtually every group associated with the Spiritual Warfare Network around the world has come across local, regional,
and national principalities which trace their spiritual power directly to the Queen of Heaven. The Virgin Aparecida in
Brazil, the Goddess of Mercy in Malaysia, Ramona in Hemet, California, Ameratasu Omikami in Japan, and Pachamama
in the Andes are obvious examples that could be multiplied possibly by hundreds. Let's refer to these as the
"princesses" of the Queen's worldwide court.
I have a hypothesis (and only that at the moment) that the Queen of Heaven is the demonic principality to whom Satan
has delegated the primary responsibility of implementing his purpose to blind the minds of unbelievers to the gospel (see
2 Cor. 4:3-4). If this hypothesis is correct, Operation Queen's Palace can be considered the culmination of the prayers of
the AD2000 United Prayer Track and the Spiritual Warfare Network throughout the decade of the 1990s with the singular
objective of "A church for every people and the gospel for every person by the year 2000." If we are successful, this could
be the most significant action ever taken to push back the forces of darkness so that the light of the gospel penetrates
into the hearts of unbelievers previously blinded to the love of Jesus Christ.
If the central palace of the Queen is located in Turkey, as we suspect it is, our prayer initiative must not be limited to
Turkey. It must simultaneously penetrate into every nook and cranny of the world where the princesses of the Queen
have been invited to do their work through the ages. Therefore, in every nation and region and continent, multiple
prophetic prayer initiatives will be held, specifically targeted against every known manifestation of the power of the Queen
of Heaven. The spiritual warfare during the last week of September 1999 will be worldwide, it will be massive, it will be
precisely targeted, it will be synchronized, and it will be unprecedented.
God has been training us for seven or eight years in this kind of spiritual warfare, and now is the time for a frontal attack.
At all times we must keep in mind that the ultimate purpose of all of this is not to exalt ourselves or to boast of the divine
authority that Jesus has given to us, but simply to remove as many of the remaining obstacles to the salvation of millions
of unsaved souls as we can. Our greatest allies will be humility, servanthood, holiness, and the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Our enemies will be pride, triumphalism, and carnality.
Addendum No. 1: The Role of Operation Ice Castle
Ana Mendez (her full name is Ana Mendez de Luca de Tena) is the person appointed by Harold Caballeros as the
Coordinator of the Spiritual Warfare Network for Southern Mexico. She and her husband, Torcuato Luca de Tena, pastor
the New Anointing Church of Mexico City. Ana is a proven, world-class leader in the field of prophetic intercession. I have
come to admire her as a woman of God who has a remarkable gift of discernment, who hears accurately from God, and
who has the courage to implement what she senses God is telling her to do, even at the literal risk of her physical life.
Converted years ago as a high priestess of voodoo, Ana has known the powers of the invisible world in a deeply personal
way. She ministers outside of her church under the spiritual covering of one of Latin America's best know prophetic
figures, Rony Chavez of Costa Rica.
Ana Mendez established an AD2000 Prayer Tower in Mexico City some time ago in order to mobilize powerful prayer
targeted on the 10/40 Window. While in prayer in her tower, the Holy Spirit clearly showed her that a principal stronghold
over the 10/40 Window was located on Mt. Everest in Nepal, and that she was to lead a team of intercessors in a frontal
attack on this power of darkness, who was none other than the Queen of Heaven. Before finally deciding to go, she
sought the agreement of Rony Chavez, Harold Caballeros, Cindy Jacobs, George Otis, Jr., Fred Markert, Chuck Pierce,
Doris Wagner, me, and others.
For three weeks at the end of September 1997, what we called "Operation Ice Castle" was underway. Ana, her husband,
and Rony Chavez led a team of 11 who operated out of the base camp at the foot of Mt. Everest at 18,000 feet. Doris
Wagner led a team of 8 English speakers operating out of the Everest View Hotel at 13,000 feet, and a third team of 5
Spanish speakers from Mexico and Colombia, led by Silvia Valenzuela, were there also. Doris provided the necessary
bilingual bridge.
This is not the place to recount the details of what happened during that awesome prayer journey, which was the
probably the highest level one undertaken in the decade, not only topographically, but spiritually. A few brief quotes from
Ana's report, written in nid-October, will suffice:
"God spoke to us that He was going to release judgment upon the iniquity and over the false religious systems of the
world. He said that he was going to bring down the foundations of 'Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother of Harlots.' [This is
the Queen of Heaven. The ancient name of Everest is Sagarmata, meaning "Mother of the Universe."]
"After five days of prayer, on September 22, 1997, an incredible climbing anointing came over the team, and God led us
through the Ice Fall, the most difficult, dangerous, and technically exacting part of the Everest ascent, with no guide but
Him and no help other than from His angels. After many hours of crossing crevasses and climbing ice walls, we were
about to reach the point where we had located the seat of the Queen of Heaven. At that moment the fury of the devil was
unleashed and a huge avalanche broke loose above us, sending megatons of ice and snow crashing our way. At the last
moment a huge crevasse in front of us swallowed up the avalanche, saved our lives, and we only had to deal with the [life
threatening] resulting cloud of ice for about ten minutes.
"We continued toward our goal, and when we arrived we took the throne that the Lord had showed us, prophesying
against the powers of darkness and declaring the judgment of God on the whore of Babylon and the false religions of the
world.
"That same evening God spoke a clear and strong order: "Go out from this mountain tomorrow before 11:00 AM because
I am going to destroy everything. The next day we dismantled the camp in a great hurry, and left Base Camp at 10:30.
When the last of our 36 beasts of burden [yaks] had come out, not one, but all three mountain slopes which surrounded
Base Camp--Everest, Loh-La, and Nuptse--simultaneously collapsed in the greatest avalanche ever seen in Everest.
Base Camp was totally buried under the snow and the enormous falling clouds of ice. The climbing season was closed,
and the only flag waving on the top of the world was the one planted by the king of Kings and Lord of Lords." [CNN News
carried the story, but obviously had no video footage to show. Ana, however, has a video of the avalanche. Several
climbing teams were in Base Camp. We have received word that Koreans were killed, but have not yet heard of the
Italians, French, Spanish and others.]
Ana points to some world events which occurred within two weeks after the prophetic act at the throne of the Queen of
Heaven which she senses have some connection: (1) The nation of Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world,
caught on fire and began to burn on that very day; (2) An earthquake destroyed the Basilica of Assisi in Italy, the place
where the Pope had called a meeting for the unity of all world religions; (3) Hurricane Paulina destroyed the infamous
temple of "Baal-Christ" in Acapulco, Mexico; (4) Princess Diana of England died, representing the crown of England, to
whom Mt. Everest was consecrated by Sir Edmund Hillary; and (5) Mother Theresa, one of the most visible advocates of
exalting Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix, died in India.
Dissemination of Information
Operation Ice Castle was kept confidential, and known only by relatively few people. Only a small number of intercessors
was needed for the journey, and there was a good bit of apprehension as to possible consequences if the plans became
known both in the visible and the invisible world. Obviously, the number of lives lost on Everest through the years was an
important consideration. Incidentally, bodies of foreigners killed on Everest are not removed, but left there as sacrifices to
the spirits of the mountains.
Operation Queen's Palace is different. The Lord has shown us that large numbers of Christians will be needed to do the
job, both those who go to Turkey and those who minister in their own cities, nations and regions. Therefore, widespread
dissemination of this information is called for.
A significant prophecy came from one of the home-based intercessors praying for Operation Ice Castle. Before hearing
any reports, she said that in prayer God had showed her that the teams in Nepal were up against a dragon [confirmed],
that their prayer assault was sending arrows into the dragon which were causing mortal wounds, that the dragon knew
exactly what was happening to it, but that the dragon did not have strength to do anything about it. I cannot help but
wondering if the weakened state of the dragon (the Queen of Heaven? Satan himself?) might be due to the massive and
aggressive praying for the 10/40 Window throughout this decade.

Orchard of God
by Cheryl Cranston
Prophetic Word Given Sunday evening 10/11/98

Fall leaves, from far away, are beautiful. Fall leaves, close up, are mottled, black and ugly.
They hang by nothing for they are getting ready for a gentle autumn wind to blow them away until, at last, the three
stands barren, naked, yet taller somehow, since shedding its clothes. And the Spirit of God teaches the church in the
splendor of creation.
From afar, the orchard is beautiful. Beautiful because the trees live? No. Beautiful because the trees are ready to
spring forth with new life? No. The orchard is beautiful because it is getting ready to die.
And the Spirit of the Lord would say to the church: You, my church, are an autumn orchard. There are mottled
areas that close-up are unattractive--marred by the enemy and influenced by the world. But at this appointed time in
history I am removing every nutrient that has fed these ugly things, and as sure as you stand as trees planted in my
orchard, those things will die; they must die. And their death is a beautiful sight in my eyes. For as I have created the
autumn splendor to amaze and delight the eye, so my eye, church, is delighted to gaze upon my autumn orchard.
Stand up, orchard of God. Stand up before your Creator. Rise up and embrace the autumn breezes of my Spirit that
will come to blow away the dead leaves.
For the weight of these things have wearied you. As the leaves fall, so you will be released to stand taller and rise to
new heights.
Orchard of God, stand barren before your Creator--for it is a good thing. You will be barren, without clothes, but
you will not die when winter comes. You will tremble, but you will not die. For your God has been faithful to clothe
every flower in His creation--how much more will he clothe those whom He has called.
Rise up you teachers, pastors, evangelists, missionaries, apostles and prophets, for the Lord is making you new
clothes. They will not be like the former garments, for the latter rain is greater than the former rain. They are
garments of white that are sturdier than the garments of the past. They are not made from material that tattters and
frays after one or two washings. They are garments that will endure many washings--made from the finest wool--the
essence of God--whose very hair is white like wool.
And these new sturdy garments will last through the journey. For you are going on a great trip, my church, a trip that
will take you to the book of Acts and beyond. Clothed in these garments you will see the anointing fall--and the
dead will rise, the lost will be saved, deliverance will come, the blind and sick will be healed.
Orchard of God, know this. This is a corporate adventure-not an individual one. For no longer will only a few walk
in my anointing while the other trees shirk back. No. It is a corporate adventure.
And know this--not one tree left in the orchard can remain clothed in old leaves. For those that remain in this
orchard--trying to stand still and remain stagnant to preserve the old garments--will be clearly seen among the
barren trees and exposed--having its trunk shaken by the very hand of God--for God disciplines those He loves--
and God loves this church. The orchard must be uniform and every tree must be as one.
Orchard of God--come forth and be shaken. Come forth and let the mottled leaves fall in my presence, taking new
garments even this night--travelling clothes that will take you to the book of Acts--and beyond. For I said you would
do even greater things than I did, for My Name's sake.
This night, the Spirit says: Orchard of God, die to the former things, that the latter things may reign.
To the book of Acts--and beyond.

Overlooking Silver
Bryan Hupperts
In the past few days I've had an unusual preoccupation with silver. While praying a few days ago, in my spirit I saw a field
filled with forgotten, perhaps overlooked, silver. Last night I dreamed of a well known Christian music personality (whom I
do not personally know). This person was moving to a new, bigger house and had a living room filled with beautiful
silverware. There were pitchers, forks, and knives, butter dishes, and so on. This person explained to me that he was
much too busy with his ministry to have need for "this old stuff" and that I could have what I wanted of it. The truth was,
the silver was priceless!
Silver in the Bible is a picture, or symbol, of redemption. It was used for jewelry, idols, and money. When Moses was
commanded of God to build the Tabernacle, he was instructed to collect from every Israelite a half shekel of silver which
is used as atonement money.
In the New Testament, when silver is mentioned it is ALWAYS right after gold. This shows the priority of the service of
the saints. Gold represents the divine and speaks of the Lord. It is called the King of Metals because it is a picture of
how beautiful and precious our Lord is. Silver is a picture of salvation of the souls of men.
What my vision and dream represented to me was the collective attitude of the Western church. The gold comes first in
Scripture because God has to come first in our service and lives. Where we are missing it is in the silver. We are ignoring
it or not counting it precious.
In my vision, the silver was in the field. The field always represents where the Lord's harvest is to take place. Jesus
instructed us to pray that the Lord of the Harvest would send forth Laborers into his harvest field to labor. I saw the saints
just walking through this vast field walking over the silver as if it were worthless. They were missing the point of why they
were in the field in the first place....to harvest the silver!
In last night's dream, the music minister represented those called to specific ministries but have gotten so busy with their
growing ministries, they've forgotten why they are there...to minister! The vessels of silver were, to them, just in the way
and had little value to them. They were so busy being "ministers of the Lord" that they had forgotten to "minister for the
Lord".
God declares that the silver and gold are his, (Hg 2. 8). Gold speaks of our worship and devotion to the Lord. Silver
speaks of our laboring for the Lord for the redemption of the lost souls of men. Remember that Jesus came to seek and
save that which was lost.
My sense is that the Lord is not denying our love and worship of Him (the gold). His rebuke is for our ignoring of His call
to labor on His behalf in the world (the silver). We need to see the silver as precious, too.
We are to be about our Father's business while it is yet day. The night is coming when no man can work.

Other gods
Bryan Hupperts
November 3, 1998
Here is a message from the Word of God for the Western Church. There is a lot of scripture quoted here and if it
seems like the Holy Spirit is repeating himself, He is with good reason.
Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me.
Exodus 23:13 Take heed to all that I have said to you; and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let
such be heard out of your mouth.
Deuteronomy 6:14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are round about you;
Deuteronomy 7:4 For they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods; then the anger of the
LORD would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
Deuteronomy 8:19 And if you forget the LORD your God and go after other gods and serve them and worship
them, I solemnly warn you this day that you shall surely perish.
Deuteronomy 11:16 Take heed lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship
them,

gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us serve them,'
Deuteronomy 13:6 "If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your
bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, 'Let us go and serve other gods,' which

host of heaven, which I have forbidden,
Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name which I have not commanded him
to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.'
Deuteronomy 28:14 and if you do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right
hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Deuteronomy 28:36 "The LORD will bring you, and your king whom you set over you, to a nation that neither you
nor your fathers have known; and there you shall serve other gods, of wood and stone.
Deuteronomy 28:64 And the LORD will scatter you among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other; and
there you shall serve other gods, of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
Deuteronomy 29:26 and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and
whom he had not allotted to them;
Deuteronomy 30:17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away to worship other gods
and serve them,
Deuteronomy 31:18 And I will surely hide my face in that day on account of all the evil which they have done,
because they have turned to other gods.
Deuteronomy 31:20 For when I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give
to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, and
despise me and break my covenant.
Joshua 23:16 if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve
other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you shall perish
quickly from off the good land which he has given to you."
Judges 2:12 and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt;
they went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed down to
them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.
Judges 2:17 And yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down

commandments of the LORD, and they did not do so.
Judges 2:19 But whenever the judge died, they turned back and behaved worse than their fathers, going after other
gods, serving them and bowing down to them; they did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways.

you up against me, may he accept an offering; but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have
driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'
1 Kings 11:10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not

gods, and molten images, provoking me to anger, and have cast me behind your back;

brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods

bow yourselves to them or serve them or sacrifice to them;
2 Kings 17:37 And the statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which he wrote for you, you
shall always be careful to do. You shall not fear other gods,

quenched.
2 Chronicles 7:19 "But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before

out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore he has
brought all this evil upon them'"

LORD, the God of his fathers.

queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah 11:10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear my words; they have
gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I
made with their fathers.
Jeremiah 13:10 This evil people, who refuse to hear my words, who stubbornly follow their own heart and have
gone after other gods to serve them and worship them, shall be like this waistcloth, which is good for nothing.

and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.'
Jeremiah 19:4 Because the people have forsaken me, and have profaned this place by burning incense in it to other
gods whom neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have known; and because they have filled this place
with the blood of innocents,
Jeremiah 19:13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah--all the houses upon whose roofs
incense has been burned to all the host of heaven, and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods--shall be
defiled like the place of Topheth.'"

the houses on whose roofs incense has been offered to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods,
to provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah 35:15 I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, 'Turn now every
one of you from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you
shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers.' But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
Jeremiah 44:3 because of the wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to burn
incense and serve other gods that they knew not, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers.
Jeremiah 44:5 But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their wickedness and burn no incense to other
gods.
Jeremiah 44:8 Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the
land of Egypt where you have come to live, that you may be cut off and become a curse and a taunt among all the
nations of the earth?
Jeremiah 44:15 Then all the men who knew that their wives had offered incense to other gods, and all the women
who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who dwelt in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah:
Hosea 3:1 And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress;
even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
Search your land and see if we are a nation that now serves other gods. Remember, too that God is the same,
yesterday, today, and forever. I count the phrase other gods 56 times. Do you think perhaps the Living God is trying
to make a point with this?
Nations who went after other gods were given their heart's desire - along with military invasion, slavery, prostitution,
pornography, suicide, wanton murder, child sacrifice (abortion) and every conceivable filthy art of darkness.
Hummm… that reads like an American newspapers' front page.
The church in America (and many other western nations) has gone "whoring" after other gods as well preaching
ease, comfort, unending wealth (and I believe in God's prosperity) and what Jesus can do for you! And I fear that as
we have lusted for other gods, we shall inherit them, and every bondage they bring. The Land of the Free is a
prisoner of sin!
We have polluted our pulpits, our land, and we have called evil good and good evil. Call out to God and repent
before we too are consumed by our own desires for other gods. The Living God is merciful and longsuffering, not
willing that any should perish. The other gods we lust for are in reality wrath-filled demons who will show no mercy.
Shall we love the One God, or the many gods?
Wake up America. Judgment for idolatry is already knocking at the door.

Prophetic Word over the Pacific Northwest,

Tennessee, Virginia, Montana,
North and South Dakota, and Wyoming
by Chuck Pierce on 11-15-97
Taken from: http://www.revivalnow.com/index.htm
"The Lord would say to this area (Pacific Northwest): This is a time that My Spirit is stirring. this is a time that even the
winds are even stirring around you. And I say I'm going to confront this area with two issues within the next five months.
I'm going to confront it with an economical issue and I'm going to confront it also with a military issue. And I say to you,
this is a time that the wind will begin to blow. And I say 6 more winds will come and then a 7th will blow strong in this
area.
I say be a people who know and understand and catch the wind. For the wind is beginning to blow in this area. I'm going
to dethrone two major structures that are holding back my people from gathering together in this area. And I say to you I
will begin to overthrow a sectarian spirit that has resisted my people coming together. And I'm going to overthrow a spirit
that has caused the genders from coming forth in this area. I say you will be a model of the genders for our nation. For I
am not a God that withholds My anointing because of gender. And I say the apostolic will arise in the genders in this
area. And I say to you, you will model to this nation My call this hour for those to go hand in hand that will bring forth my
revival in this area.
And I say to you I am about to build a highway in this area. Not only of holiness but of healing. And I say many will come
and many will be healed. And I say to you, let your judgements go for I will draw in many that you have not even thought
and that you have given up on. That you thought could not be drawn in. For the Lord says this is a day of explosion of
unity in this area. This is a day that I am coming with My wind and I am going to blow. And I say you will hear the body
coming together and this body will have a strong voice. And it will affect Montana. And it will affect North and South
Dakota. It will affect Wyoming. And I say it will also affect Tennessee and Virginia.
How I move here will be extended like an arrow even out to the east coast saith the Lord. For I say I am blowing my wind.
Catch My wind this hour and begin to go with what I am blowing toward you.

A PROPHETIC WARNING FROM WEST PADUCAH

By David White
Much of the church in the west, specifically North America, is unprepared to face what it is about to face.
The Christian community was stunned to hear of the recent shooting rampage, which occurred in West Paducah, KY. No
one would expect a 14 -year old boy, in a small town, to walk into a high school prayer meeting and begin shooting. Yet
it happened, leaving behind many unanswered questions.
When I heard about the shooting, I ask the Lord why and how this could happen. Why were innocent Christian students,
who were praying, killed? I believe He spoke to me and said that this incident was a prophetic warning to the church in
America of what had begun. God did not cause, nor did He want such a crime to be committed. Satan is the one who
has come to, "steal, and to kill, and to destroy." (John 10:10) He then began to impress upon my heart that Satan was
about to lash out, in an unprecedented manner, at the church in the United States. The incident in West Paducah, KY
even occurred in a town with West as a part of the name, which speaks of the church in the west. The phrase, ‘lash out’,
in Webster’s Dictionary means, ‘to move violently or suddenly, a sudden swinging blow, to strike, to make a verbal
attack, or to assail’. This is exactly what is about to happen to the church in America, which for the most part, has been
shielded from little, if any real persecution.
Just before His arrest and eventual crucifixion, Jesus told Peter, "Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that
he may sift you as wheat. "But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned,
strengthen your brethren." (Luke 22:31-32) Satan has asked permission to sift the church in America, and God has
granted it.
There are at least five reasons why the enemy will be allowed to lash out against the church in America. First, because
of some recent advances the church has experienced. From Promise Keepers to the Brownsville Revival, to the prayer
movement, and many other examples, at least part of the church has been advancing in the United States over the last
few years. One reason for the lashing out is simply retaliation from the enemy to now get the advancing church to back
down from the ground that has been taken. II Timothy 3:12 plainly says, "Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ
Jesus will suffer persecution." A lack of persecution reveals a lack of godliness, while much godliness will bring much
persecution.
Second, another reason for the lashing out is because while some of the church has been advancing, still a large
segment of the church is still asleep. I recently had a dream where I saw a giant woman who was badly wounded and yet
sound asleep. I believe this was a picture of much of the church in America.
When Jesus spoke to Peter about what Satan had requested, He said, "Simon, Simon"! Jesus repeated his name twice,
and I believe spoke in a loud voice so as to get Peter’s attention. The lashing out from Satan against the church in
America will actually serve as a ‘wake up call’. Romans 13:11 says, "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high
time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed." The word awake means, ‘to
rouse from sleep, from sitting, from lying down, from disease, from death, from obscurity, from inactivity, from ruins, from
nonexistence’.
At the funeral service for the three girls who died in West Paducah, KY, a local pastor commented on how in America we
slaughter our children and then wonder what went wrong when our children slaughter one another. It’s time to wake up.
Third, the lashing out is coming because judgement begins at the house of God. (I Peter 4:17) The prophet Isaiah said,
"As I have done to Samaria and her idols, shall I not do also to Jerusalem and her idols?" (Isaiah 10:11) It has been said
that God is not going to let the church get by with what He will judge the world for. God is going to deal with our sin now
because of His love. (Hebrews 12:6) Before He can judge the world He must judge the church.
Fourth, because Satan knows that he only has a short time. (Revelation 12:12) What Satan will be allowed to do, he
must do quickly. The day that is at hand is The Day of the Lord, not the day of the devil. His time is almost up.
When God used Assyria, a wicked nation and defined as "the rod of My anger" to judge His people, He also reminded
Assyria, exactly who was in charge. "Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all HIS work on
Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the
glory of his haughty looks." (Isaiah 10:12)
Another reason the enemy will be allowed to lash out at the church is because the church in the United States is about
to be sifted.
The word, ‘sift’, means, ‘to separate’. God is about to separate the wheat from the tares and the sheep from the goats.
Jesus said that the harvest at the end of the age would be a time when the reapers would, "First, gather together the
tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." (Matthew 13:30) The harvest has
begun. However, the harvest will first reveal and gather the tares, then the wheat will be gathered into His barn. Malachi
3:18 reminds us, "Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and
one who does not serve Him."
When I heard that Satan was about to lash out at the church in America, I also heard that his lashing out ‘against’ the
church would produce a launching out ‘of’ the church.
The student who stood up and stopped the shooting rampage in KY was Benjamin Strong. In the Bible, Benjamin was
the youngest and the last of the sons of Jacob. He was also the only son who was specifically named by His father and
not his mother. The name Benjamin in Hebrew means, ‘the son of my right hand’. A few years ago, I ask the Lord what
He was about to do. I then had a vision of His right hand extended. Isaiah once said, "For the Lord of hosts has
purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?" (Isaiah 14:27)
Benjamin Strong is representative of the last day generation that is now upon the earth. This present generation has been
named by the world as Generation X. However, this generation has been properly re-named by the Father as Generation
Next. This final generation will stand up against the greatest darkness in all of history, and in the face of the greatest of
Satan’s assault. They will be known as those who, "know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (Daniel
11:32) Benjamin Strong stood up and confronted the young boy with the gun, at the risk of losing his own life. His
intervention also saved the lives of others. The Lord impressed upon my heart, that the church has known what it means
to overcome Satan, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Now we will learn what it means to
overcome just as it is described in Revelation 12:11, "and they did not love their lives to the death".
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God
is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

The Painting
Sue Tilney
Years ago, there was a very wealthy man who, with his devoted young son, shared a passion for art collecting. Together
they traveled around the world, adding only the finest art treasures to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van
Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of the family estate. The widowed elder man looked on with satisfaction
as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son's trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father
to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors round the world.
As winter approached, war engulfed the nation and the young man left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks,
his father received a telegram. His beloved son was missing in action. The art collector anxiously awaited more news,
fearing he would never see his son again. Within days, his fears were confirmed. The young man had died while rushing a
fellow soldier to a medic.
Distraught and lonely, the old man faced the upcoming Christmas holidays with anguish and sadness. The joy of the
season - a season that he and his son had so looked forward to - would visit his house no longer.
On Christmas morning, a knock on the door awakened the depressed old man. As he walked to the door, the
masterpieces of art on the walls only reminded him that his son was not coming home. As he opened the door, he was
greeted by a soldier with a large package in his hand. He introduced himself to the man by saying, "I was a friend of your
son. I was the one he was rescuing when he died. May I come in for a few moments? I have something to show you."
As the two began to talk, the soldier told of how the man's son had told everyone of his - not to mention his father's - love
of fine art.
"I'm an artist," said the soldier, "and I want to give you this." As the old man unwrapped the package, the paper gave way
to reveal a portrait of the man's son. Though the world would never consider it the work of a genius, the painting featured
the young man's face in striking detail. Overcome with emotion, the man thanked the soldier, promising to hang the
picture above the fireplace.
A few hours later, after the soldier had departed, the old man set about his task. True to his word, the painting went
above the fireplace, pushing aside thousands of dollars of paintings. And then the man sat in his chair and spent
Christmas gazing at the gift he had been given.
During the days and weeks that followed, the man realized that even though his son was no longer with him, the boy's life
would live on because of those he had touched. He would soon learn that his son had rescued dozens of wounded
soldiers before a bullet stilled his caring heart. As the stories of his son's gallantry continued to reach him, fatherly pride
and satisfaction began to ease the grief. The painting of his son soon became his most prized possession, far eclipsing
any interest in the pieces for which museums around the world clamored. He told his neighbors it was the greatest gift he
had ever received.
The following spring, the old man became ill and passed away. The art world was in anticipation. With the collector's
passing, and his only son dead, those paintings would be sold at an auction. According to the will of the old man, all of
the art works would be auctioned on Christmas day, the day he had received his greatest gift. The day soon arrived and
art collectors from around the world gathered to bid on some of the world's most spectacular paintings. Dreams would be
fulfilled this day; greatness would be achieved as many would claim "I have the greatest collection."
The auction began with a painting that was not on any museum's list. It was the painting of the man's son. The
auctioneer asked for an opening bid. The room was silent. "Who will open the bidding with $100?" he asked.
Minutes passed. No one spoke. From the back of the room came, "Who cares about that painting? It's just a picture of
his son. Let's forget it and go on to the good stuff." More voices echoed in agreement. "No, we have to sell this one first,"
replied the auctioneer.
"Now, who will take the son?" Finally, a friend of the old man spoke.
"Will you take ten dollars for the painting? That's all I have. I knew the boy, so I'd like to have it." "I have ten dollars. Will
anyone go higher?" called the auctioneer. After more silence, the auctioneer said, "Going once, going twice. Gone." The
gavel fell. Cheers filled the room and someone exclaimed, "Now we can get on with it and we can bid on these
treasures!"
The auctioneer looked at the audience and announced the auction was over. Stunned disbelief quieted the room.
Someone spoke up and asked, "What do you mean it's over? We didn't come here for a picture of some old guy's son.
What about all of these paintings? There are millions of dollars of art here! I demand that you explain what's going on
here!"
The auctioneer replied, "It's very simple. According to the will of the father, whoever takes the son...gets it all."
Puts things into perspective, doesn't it? Just as those art collectors discovered on that Christmas day, the message is
still the same - the love of a Father - a Father whose greatest joy came from his son who went away and gave his life
rescuing others. And because of that Father's love...whoever takes the Son, gets it all..

Pride & Control

Prophetic Word given by Bob Jones:
2/23/98
"The Word declares, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Pro. 16:18)
Bob saw that now is the time for the proud and the haughty to fall and the humble and the meek to be
raised up in their place.
Bob saw that pride is actually behind the control spirit in the church. This pride can be seen in a love
for our traditions, or a specific doctrine or ones own opinions. This keeps us from being teachable. This
is basic self-centeredness, (pride) that will cause the fall.
"And I cut off the three shepherds (the civil authorities, the priests, and the prophets) in one month,
for I was weary and impatient with them, and they also loathed me. (Zech. 11:8 Amp.) Bob saw that as
the prideful fall, God will Himself, raise up in their place, true shepherds that will lay down their lives for
the sheep.

Morning Meditations
When I arise at break of day
I sing to Him a minstrel lay;
He tunes my heart with heavn'ly grace,
And strengthens me to run the race -
A race that brings me closer home -
Though I have many paths to roam.
Thus is my day with Him begun,
Thus sheltered till the set of sun
When I reflect on Calvary -

Think of His tender love for me:
That He should shed His precious blood
To reconcile my soul to God.
Lo, then my heart with love rejoices,
And wish I had ten thousand voices -
With each of them love to express -
And each of them a big caress!
How precious is the Christian's lot

To know he'll never be forgot!
A life on earth with Him beside
So we can take all things in stride.
And then, when life at last is oe'r,
We'll safely reach the heaven'ly shore.
Thus can a Christian be at rest,
And know his life is truly blest.
Art Thou Content?

Art thou content to dwell in Babylon?
Bask in its vanities, enjoy its pomp?
Dost seek to sate thy soul's inmost desires
To find fulfillment in its noise & romp?
These worldly frills were never meant to still

The longing for eternal verities!
Earth's pleasures cloy and blunt the search for truth -
Silver and gold mere copies are of real!
I counsel thee to fill thy days with gold

Of character tried in life's flame and fire!
(Care not for transient things of tenuous hold
Of flash and ecstasy or vain desire!)
The time is short - what thou wouldst do, do now:
And God will show thee where, and when, and how!
A Prisoner For Jesus.

I'm a prisoner of Jesus,
I'm a bondslave of my Lord;
I'm His servant, He's my Master;
I am fettered to His Word.
I'm held captive by the Spirit;
His vast love envelopes me -
And it is in this sweet bondage
I am really, truly free!
Faithful Abraham
Old Abram lived in days of yore
Beyond the Euphrates.
God told him he should leave his home,
And go where HE would please
He took his goods and family,

And journeyed: Westward Ho!
Until he came to Canaan -
As far as he could go!
God promised him that He would bless

Him truly mightily;
That he would give to him this land -
As far as eye could see!
God also said a son would come -

Though it seemed very looooong.
God knew that He could trust the man
To teach him right from wrong.
So, in due time, Ike came along -

As handsome as could be -
Who’d walk in all the ways of God
In all things, faithfully.
One day God said, "O, Abraham!

Your son I do require!
Take him with you, and go three days
Unto the Mount Moriah!"
So Abraham obeyed the Lord

And did what he was told;
But just before the knife came down
The Lord said, "Abram, hold!
"Lay not your hand upon the lad -

Do nothing unto him!
For now I know that you fear God,
And lov’dst Me more than him.
Return again unto your house;

I’ll bless you mightily:
Like stars in sky and sand in sea -
You and your family!"
So, Abram lived a ripe old age -

One hundred seventy five;
And father of the faithful is
To all who like him live.
Let’s be like father Abraham

And trust the Lord each day;
For, in each test and in each trial
Hell surely show the way!

Paul Cain's Prophecy
On Monday night 2/9/98, Paul Cain, who is a well respected Prophet of the Lord came on TBN (Trinity Broadcast
Network) with a heavy burden upon his heart. He said that the burden was so heavy that it had even been affecting his
body physically. He said it is of utmost importance that Christians would get down on their knees and pray and intercede
for the President and for the situation with Iraq. I took notes from this broadcast and I will share briefly with you what was
said:
Christians are failing to see the bigger picture. Don't get drawn into the media hype. Get the mind of God. We need to
push away the propaganda and ask ourselves "What is God up to? "Every avenue diplomatically should be used in
dealing with Iraq. Not all-diplomatic avenues have been used. Are we (America) gendering strife? We are stirring up a
world war." "Regarding the President, put the stones down! We have a president and a world in crisis. We need to get
the mind of God here. "The burden that the Lord has laid on me is that we are heading for another World War. There are
many thousands of lives at stake here. Not just of our own soldiers but of many, many thousands in Iraq. We must pray
to avert World War! We are short of time, we must redeem the time." Any of you who are familiar with Paul Cain's
ministry know that this is man of utmost integrity and who has a long and well seasoned ministry of a Prophet. Paul Cain
has been brought before both President Clinton and Saddam Hussein, as a Prophet of the Lord. Prophets biblically, as
you know, speak into the lives of the Kings. That is part of their mantle. It is no small thing to be brought before men
such as Clinton and Hussein. It is no small thing to come to before the Body and say Pray!!
This is the Word of the Lord for this time. Pray on your knees before him. Pray for diplomacy to be used to avert
another World War. Pray that the accusing spirit set against the President be brought down and that Clinton would lead
this nation to it's knees in repentance. We must rise above the "Vulture Culture". As the Moses interceded for the
children of Israel before the Lord, let us intercede for nations and for a President!
Please feel free to share this with others ^

Prophets Before Priesthood,

The Crisis of President William J. Clinton -
The Healing Of A Nation
by Rev. Jerrell H. Miller
What about prophecy? Many don’t believe in prophecy, many don’t believe in tongues, many don’t believe in miracles,
and many don’t believe in revival. He has called us to revival through the voice of a modern day prophet. Just remember
this, before this revival started it was the prophet who said it--he said the seaside town of Pensacola. Even the people
where the revival happened doubted the words of what was said until it actually happened. When it happened the priests
acted upon the presence of God and were thankful the Word was spoken.
Prophets are in the land again and many are speaking. It is sad that many of the priests only want to believe in what they
see before their eyes. Economics still control the church. People who speak prophecy are still listed as strange and the
priests still look the other way and roll their eyes. The prophets of the land are calling for something that is going to put
the priests to work. His glory is coming and the price will be paid when it comes. He chose to save this land but how He
does it and when He does it is how it will be done. You can’t forecast a hurricane, but a prophet can see it coming before
it gets here.
On a Sunday night a black prophet spoke and I was deeply touched by the word that came forth. I went to the front of the
church to pray and I dropped to my knees and began to cry. The burden I felt at that altar was for the unity of belief
among the priests. Many people who are called sheep are more together than the leadership for a move of God. They
hunger for God’s presence in the sanctuary. We need some priests who live by faith in the land so they will do the will of
God and not do the will of what the economic situation dictates. The sheep will always follow -- they work on jobs and
feed families and hope the presence of God will flood their houses of worship. The black prophet gave the Word that night
and called for people to come forward and strip themselves from religion and follow God.
When I think of Samuel as he called Saul forth to be king of Israel, Samuel knew Saul was a mistake before God allowed
it. Samuel went to Saul and anointed him as the King of Israel. He was then given instruction by the prophet to destroy
the Amalekites--destory the entire spoil and the King of the Amalekites. The Amalekites in the Old Testament
represented the devil himself. It was spoken by the prophet but the King of Israel could only see the spoil of the
Amalekites and did not do what the prophet of God asked him to do. It was this act of disobedience that angered God.
Saul, from that time on, was a king without anointing and the only thing that could bring him comfort was the anointing of
David and even at the end of his reign as King of Israel, Saul tried to kill the anointed. Pride will drain a priest of his
anointing -- taking the spoil of the land never brought the peace of God to Saul. In the end it destroyed this once proud
king. Let it not be said that he wasn’t warned before he fell. The prophet Samuel walked into his life to anoint him and the
prophet Samuel was called from his grave by witchcraft to pronounce the final prophecy over this once proud king, he
would be dead on a Philistine Battlefield by the next day.
Prophets are not bothered by the size or the influence of any situation. Men are still acting in their own instance, even
God told Adam and Eve not to eat from a certain tree. Samuel went to God several times before God allowed a king to
rule over His chosen people. They still wanted a man to lead them and God was trying to speak to the people about a
more perfect way. The way of faith is not chosen even today, the sheep are still looking for a fleshly shepherd when they
should be looking for the Spiritual Shepherd. Many have chosen what they can see and have not chosen the unseen that
will last for ever. It took me a long time to understand as a Roman Catholic that my faith was not in the sacraments but
was in the God of those sacraments. I could take the sacraments but if God wasn’t in it -- the grace those sacraments
represented could never be attained. When we are baptized in the Holy Spirit we are not looking for the tongues but we
are looking for the Baptizer, JESUS.
I have been touched deeply by the situation in the White House. It seems as if every where I turn God says look, pray for
him. I love him and his decisions will include the entire country either in the judgment of the land or the salvation of the
land. There is an incredible balance going on in the country. The scales of justice are at a perfect balance right now. It
can go either way and we will determine the future by our prayers. The intercessors are being called forth now for this is
the final hour. The question is this. Will the United States turn to God or will it be judged by God? The popularity of this
president is being weighed by economics. Many people say he is a good president and look the other way because their
pockets are full and they have food on the table. Don’t rock the boat, please look the other way on this -- there is nothing
wrong. The president even said it, "It’s the economy, stupid." The very thing these people are endorsing will be the rope
that hangs them one day. If a country looks the other way on marital trust and says he is doing a good job, then they
have actually endorsed adultery. If a man can’t be faithful to his wife then what makes you think he will be faithful to your
country.
I am not here to judge Bill Clinton for God will be his final judge. I will do everything I can to see this man come to Jesus.
He is a candidate for Salvation, and if he wins that race as a candidate, he could take a whole country with him. I know
God is at work. As I was coming out of Dallas, Texas, two weeks ago I took I-20 when I should have been on Interstate I-
30. Instead of going into Shreveport, Louisiana, I was on the way to the Arkansas border. The first town into Arkansas
was Hope. As I approached the exit in Hope, Arkansas, a large sign board marked the spot and it said, "Welcome To
Hope, Arkansas, The Birth Place of President Bill Clinton." I thought to myself, God brought me this way. This
president was born in a place called Hope and that’s not what his situation looks like now, but maybe God knows
something about him that I don’t know.
The next week I found myself in an airplane going to Louisville, Kentucky. As we touched down in Louisville I found out
the President had come to town for a democratic fund raiser. Once again I was there where he was; then the reminder of
prayer touched me again. I am called to be an intercessor for this man. We are both baby boomers. We were raised at
the same time, heard the same songs, and studied the same books of history. When he was in college I was in college.
Now he serves as my President and Jesus has commanded me through scripture to pray for him. We might have voted
for him but God put him in the White House for such a time as this. During his time in the White House I have seen the
greatest move of God happen within the borders of this country. I have witnessed the greatest revival right under my nose
in Pensacola. This revival was called forth by a prophet and the priests all over the country are handling the sheep as
they come to know Jesus in a personal and tangible way. God has come down to His people to visit and more than three
years later He is still in the Holy Place.
We are in a time period of the prophets of God. Pastor Cho said it well last Spring when he said, "God is not going to
destroy this country, He is going to save this country." He also said, "Revival will last until Jesus comes."
I am sure God knows the heart of the situation here. It is a divine set up. Watch and see what God is going to do. You
who have watched revival the last four years -- look at what has happened. It has been supernatural, it has been
spontaneous, and it has been wonderful. We prayed for it and now we have it and many will sacrifice and do what it takes
to maintain it. The leadership of the revival is solid and the outlook of its mission is on going. I know it’s on going
because I travel this country and can see what God is doing. There is a river church all through the land now for all to be
refreshed.
August 18, 1995, was a day of prophecy at the great revival as a pastor fell to the ground and a young girl became a
"John The Baptist" and warned of His coming. The hand of God is upon our country and our president -- wait until you
see what God is going to do -- we are on the edge of Glory at this very moment. It’s not by might nor power but its by my
Spirit saith the Lord.

Paul Cain & the Gulf

David Works
I think Paul Cain has touched on some very important issues for the body of Christ in the world and particularly in the
West.
It is not coincidental that the situations in Iraq (which directly relate to the situation in Israel) and the situations with
President Clinton are coming at us at the same time.
For many years, Paul Cain has been telling the church to pray for its leaders. In fact, the Bible tells us to "first" pray for
our worldly leaders. It also calls them "ministers" of God. I think we need to honestly admit that we have not done our
job, preferring to pick up stones instead.
I want to believe that the 1,000,000+ men who prostrated themselves on the mall in Washington, DC are still prostrated
over these situations.
We are dealing with multiple issues at once and this is a harvest of not having done what we ought to have done over the
past 6 years with our President and leaders.
At present, Paul Cain believes that the situation in Iraq is greater than the situation in Washington and that is true. We
need to remember that Iraq sits on what was once the nation of Babylon and that Saddam Hussein often believes that he
is a new leader of ancient Babylon. That would make him symbolically (please don't take this to mean the man himself)
the King of Babylon.
So once again the US intends to take on this strongman. It's plan is to launch an air war to destroy his capability to use
"weapons of mass destruction.". This is a blatantly stupid plan in a spiritual sense. The only way you control territory is
to OCCUPY it. I love prayer and intercession (an air war) but there comes a time when you need to send in the ground
troops.
We worry about what we do after the strongman is eliminated. We wonder how we can control a culture so different than
our own. It looks bad to be so "imperialistic" and resort to "gun boat diplomacy". So we cower back and don't hold the
land. Hello?
I don't think Joshua worried too much what the folks in Jericho or Ai or countless other cities thought. He occupied the
land, by the sword if necessary.
Perhaps it is the case that we in the church continually make the same mistake. When God gives us authority over our
families, our churches, our cities, our nations, do we do as we are told and occupy or do we just pray? (Thank God for
the intercessors!)
Occupation demands a deep commitment. You have to commit your whole life to the cause.
We should have learned this lesson in Vietnam where we attempted to bomb the Vietnamese into submission. It didn't
work then and it won't work now, long term.
Just some examples to examine our hearts by. When you find a Playboy magazine between the mattresses of your
teenage sons (or husband's) bed, do you just let it go believing the Kinsey report that said (falsely as it turns out) that
90% of all men have masturbated at some point in their lives? Or do you go to prayer and then confront and demand that
a change occur?
When you have people in your church who are truly out of line, do you do the proper thing and seek to confront them in
love or do you let them go on because they are big givers?
Do you pray and support your political leaders even when you disagree with their politics. Even when it is clear that their
moral life is a mess?
Now we are stuck with a situation where we are on the brink of war which could be disastrous with a President who is
weakened by moral failure. We may not know all the facts about the present scandal, but it is clear that there is a real
character issue about telling the truth.
We need to be very aware that there is a great spirit of deception set loose in the world right now. Polls tell us that most
Americans and westerners don't give a rip about our leaders private morals. And we sleep on as the deception grows
deeper.
If renewal/revival means anything, it means that we wake up, receive life again and then go out into the streets
demonstrating that there is a God in Israel.
We will not stand for lawless behavior either in our elected leaders or in our churches. But we must stand! We must
occupy! We must shake off the deception that surrounds us!
I think the Lord is trying to deliver us all. It is clear that the Lord is dealing with President Clinton. He is also dealing with
us. Our sin is no smaller than his.
Our prayers and actions must reflect that war like this is not the answer. We must exhaust all diplomatic efforts to enter
this war with clean hands. We must pray that the truth will QUICKLY come to light both about this war and about other
things in Washington. I know God is doing it and will continue to do it.
God wants to see real repentance in us for our failures. A simple "I'm sorry" from us and from our President will not
suffice. To occupy our own land, much less Iraq, will require REAL change.
So what are some action points?
1. Confess your faults, repent for not praying first for leaders, talking mean about them and listening and passing on
news media gossip.
2. Write, call, email your authorities and tell them NOT to allow this nonsense to continue until the truth comes out and
encourage them to expedite the discovery of truth.
3. Clean up your house and occupy your land - your life, your family, your church, etc. -- David Works

Prayer Directives For President Clinton

Capitol Hill Prayer Partners
1. "BUILD A SHIELD OF PROTECTION AROUND HIM."
He is under new construction. Walls/shields are built around new construction sites for several
purposes: (a.) To keep out those who have no official duties there, who might endanger themselves or
who might hinder the workers (curiosity seekers, children, idle passersby... unskilled workers, and any
others who have no business being on site) (b.) To cover the unpleasant sight, especially during
demolition and foundational construction) (c.) To protect the equipment and to secure the site (d.) To
protect workers from distraction and interference, etc.
EVEN SO, THE PRESIDENT NEEDS DIVINE PROTECTION DURING THIS DELICATE PROCESS
OF SPIRITIUAL SURGURY AND REBUILDFNG.
2. "TEAR DOWN STRONGHOLDS"
These strongholds are hindering spirits - prayers directed toward the President which have originated
in the minds of men. These prayers aren't directed by the Holy Spirit. Repent for all these hindering
prayers of men (Romans 8:26, 27; 11 Chron 7:14). Intercessors need to stand the gap and repent for
all of the unanointed, misdirected prayers prayed by the Body of Christ in particular and others in
general. This is truly the time to pray II Chron. 7:14!
God can speak volumes in His silence. There was a distinct impression to notice what He did not say:
(a.) He made no distinction between 'carnal' and 'demonic' prayers. (b.) He did not separate
'Christian' and 'non-Christian' prayers. Therefore, all prayers that are not directed by Him are
hindrances ... and the Lord placed them all in the same 'basket...' so to speak.
3. "LOOSE THE SNARES FROM AROUND HIS FEET"
These snares are self made, by his own words, thoughts, acts deeds and the desires of his own heart.
Sin causes man to construct a cocoon around himself.
"This kind comes about only by prayer and fasting..." The Lord impressed upon us that a 21 -
day fast is necessary to break these bondages (Matthew 17:7) . Please pray and seek the Lord as to
your involvement. If He should call some of you to pray and fast, just be obedient to His Spirit. "Do
whatsoever He telleth thee..." (John 2:5) Some of "this kind" are:
(a.) Perversion
(b.) Generational curses
(I.) Mother was in and out of relationships (married five

times)
(2.) President never had a good 'father' or 'mother' image.
(3.) He has an orphan spirit.
(c.) Curses of this present generation
(d.) Curses inherited from former presidents and from the office of
'presidency'
4. Pray that God would "REMOVE THE VEIL FROM HIS EYES"
Pray that he will see God's awesome redemptive purpose and plan for his life.
5. Pray that God would "GIVE HIM EARS TO HEAR"
Pray that he would have ears to hear, and a heart to obey God's direction (Mark 4:9). God's
warnings are given to man to caution him concerning his actions. Obedience brings
blessings/rewards. Disobedience (ignore, reject, scoff at) brings death, judgment, destruction.

Pentecost in America
Kim Clement
DETROIT FLAME MEETINGS
Kim Clement at New Life Church
Tuesday, January 27 -- Prophetic Word
Kim began to preach that God has chosen us to deposit His glory within. That which was once in the natural is now in
the spirit. A new anointing rests upon us in 1998, and we must rejoice because God has chosen us as the recipients of
what He is doing.
PROPHETIC INTERRUPTION
The only reason that you are the only nation in the world that has gathered every nation, has gathered every tongue from
every nation, is because what took place 2,000 years ago in the Upper Room is going to take place in the United States
of America. I am gathering them together for one purpose. When the sound comes from above and when the
breakthrough comes in this country, I will cause everyone from every nation to hear the voice of God and there will be a
revival and a harvest that will come in, in America like you have never seen by the year 2002. It will have happened
because this is the breakthrough that you've been waiting for says the Lord.
Do you understand, it is significant--Pentecost. The gathering of every tongue, every tribe, every nation will be in this
nation of America. As Jerusalem of old was chosen to be the holy territory of God to bring forth the Holy Spirit that once
was hidden and kept for a certain time, once again will be visited upon this nation. This is a national word for the people
of God.
God has gathered them together, because when that Spirit finally comes and there are divided tongues of fire that sit
upon the true people of God, they will run to your churches, they will run to you and say we heard you speaking our
language and they will come in by the hundreds of thousands. And I will raise up a resting place for the Spirit of God.
There will be a resting place for the Spirit of God. There will be a resting place for the Spirit of God. And the people will
gather together and great will be the harvest because this is the day of the breakthrough. The Holy Spirit is about to find
a resting place, says the Lord.

I Will Perfect Your Weakness

Sherry Mackey
September 10, 1998:

When I stayed close to My disciples they were close to Me. The time drew near for My departure, and as I prayed for the
cup of suffering to pass, I found My beloved friends fast asleep three times. The Spirit of the disciples were willing but the
flesh is weak. through My strength. So often it will feel like those who are with you are fast asleep & that you must suffer
alone in silence. But I am able, more than able to make you what I have chosen you to be, & I AM with you to will & do
My good pleasure.
The Father denied My request that the cup of suffering be removed. His denial of that request provided that you would
never be denied access into My throne room of Grace. He denied Me, so you wouldn't be denied. That same night Peter
denied My existence three times. A friend who walked with Me closely. A friend who was still My friend even in his
denial. I could see in Peter who he was & would be. There will be times My beloved, that you will all lose your faith in Me,
just as My disciples fled away when I was taken. But though you are faithless I remain faithful. When the shepherd was
struck, the sheep scattered away in fear.
I will never lose My faith in you, because it's My faith in you at work. A preserving work of grace & favor. Your
confessions should be, "By God's grace & mercy I pray that I never lose my faith." Dependence not on your will power,
but on My finished work that is continuing to build you up into an holy temple. Satan has desired to test you like a farmer
test his wheat, but I have prayed that you will not lose your faith. Help your brothers be stronger after you return. After
this testing you shall be stronger & more qualified to minister by My grace.
I saw a coconut tree being blown from fierce typhoon winds. The tree was blown side ways & the palm leaves were being
blown off & the coconuts flew first. The tree never uprooted, but was stripped of leaves & fruit. When the winds of
adversity blow strong, the roots are going deep. After Peter was blown he said, "lets go back to fishing." You will find out
that the old ways will not satisfy the longing of your hearts. Peter thought there was no hope left for him, since he failed
& denied My name. The things you see, hear & experience in Me, qualifies you as My witnesses. You are then qualified
to teach of My faithfulness through your lives. Life lessons qualify you for being life preservers to others.
I exhort you, take care of My lambs. Take care of My sheep. I know your hearts better than you, & I AM greater than
your hearts. I know you love Me the best way you know how, & your self doubt is good, for only I truly know what you are
capable of in your flesh & Spiritually. All mankind left to themselves will self destruct. I reinstated Peter, not with
condemnation & guilt, but with an exhortation. Take care of My sheep. All of My servants in the Bible were subject to
failures. You cannot understand success without failure. You cannot understand grace without mercy. For My mercy
seat awaits you as you come boldly to My throne room of grace. Your failures shall work an inner work of strength &
stability in the days to come. A righteous man may fall seven times a day, but I will help him get back up. You cannot
rightly minister grace unless you have grasped grace & realize if it were not for My grace, the person in prison could be
you. The prostitute on the street could be you. The wounded soldier could be you.
I saw a staircase going up with two pillars on each side. The staircase looked like marble, & was huge. Success in My
kingdom is simply obedience to My requirement in you. Steps of failures to successes, gives you qualifications to help
others out of failure into success & maturity. You are in the palm of My hand, & your walls are always before My face,
says your God.

Inevitable Persecution..
And How You Can Prepare!
by David White
This article appeared in the MorningStar Journal, Vol. 7, No. 1. All Scriptures NKJV
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s
sake
(Matthew 24:9).
It has been said that the church in the West is possibly the most unprepared church in history to face
persecution - something that now appears inevitable. Many Western Christians have mistakenly regarded
trouble, persecution, pain and tribulation as evidence of weak faith. However, this mindset of comfortable
Christianity was foreign to the early church and is a cause of deception and disillusionment in the church
today.
I recently heard a radio commentator express his outrage at what he described as the anti-Christian bigotry
promulgated by the news and entertainment media. He encouraged listeners to take a stand and let the
media know that the Christian-bashing had to stop.
Indeed, much is happening today which should cause concern among Christians. Many believers feel like
Lot, "who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked." Peter goes on to say that by dwelling among
the wicked, Lot "tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds" (II
Peter 2:7-8). Yet hatred directed at the church is not only a sign of the times, according to passages such as
Matthew chapter 24, it also serves as evidence of God’s favor and calling.
The Early Church
The believers in the early church not only experienced persecution, they expected it. Shortly after being
stoned nearly to death in the city of Lystra during his first missionary journey, Paul proclaimed, "We must
through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Later Paul encourages the church in
Thessalonica, "that no one should be shaken by these afflictions; for you yourselves know that we are
appointed to this. For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation,
just as it happened" (I Thessalonians 3:34).
Near the end of his life, Paul wrote pointedly in II Timothy 3:12: "All who desire to live godly in Christ
Jesus will suffer persecution." Paul had concluded, after many years of following the Lord, that persecution
is not to be viewed as a surprising event in the life of a Christian; to a certain extent it is inevitable. The
question is not if we will face persecution, only when (see Matthew 10:23).
Rather than seeing trials and persecution as something to grumble about, the early Christians were exhorted
to "count it all joy" (James 1:2). After the Apostles were beaten in Acts 5:40-41, they went away not
pouting, but "rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name." It is clear that the
early church not only expected persecution, but welcomed it as a sign that they were truly walking in the
steps of their Master. How can the devil ever defeat people who are so willing to go through any adversity
in order to see the gospel advanced?
Yet, Paul acknowledged in Galatians 6:12 that some people on the fringe of the first-century church were
more concerned about looking good to others than they were about pleasing God. These fair-weather,
wannabe saints sought at all costs to avoid reproach for the sake of the cross. We may well ask if such
people are actually in the majority of the Western church today.
Two Days Without Persecution
The story is told of John Wesley who, as a circuit-riding preacher, went two full days without any noticeable
persecution. No one falsely accused him, slandered him, threatened him, or ridiculed him. This lack of
visible persecution or tribulation caused great concern for Wesley. He wondered if somehow he had lost the
favor of God on his life.
Desiring to search his heart as to what he had done wrong, Wesley stopped and got off his horse and knelt
down behind a bush to pray. Another man happened to be riding by and heard a strange noise coming from
behind the bush. He stopped and threw a rock into the bush, hitting John Wesley on the head. Wesley then
began to rejoice and thank the Lord that His blessing had not departed!
Jesus spoke of persecution not as a catastrophe, but as a blessing:
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed
are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice
and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were
before you (Matthew 5:10-12).
Death Doesn’t Mean Defeat
When Jesus sent out His disciples in Matthew chapter 10, He warned them that their ministry wouldn’t be a
bed of roses: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves [Christian-bashers!] Therefore be wise
as serpents and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). In verse 22 Jesus says: "And you will be hated by all
for My name’s sake."
It should be every Christian’s desire to be more like Jesus. However, that is not without its cost. Jesus said,
"It is enough that a disciple be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master
of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!" (Matthew 10:25). Then and
now, Jesus exhorts His disciples to fear God rather than fearing "those who kill the body but cannot kill the
soul" (Matthew 10:28). Persecution will always reveal whether we truly fear God, or whether we are more
motivated by the fear of men.
Jesus instructed His disciples not to fear those who "kill the body." This implies that some may be called
upon to give their very lives for the sake of Christ, as has happened often throughout church history.
Casper Ten Boom became involved in hiding and rescuing some of the Jews during the Second World War.
After being warned of the danger involved, he replied, "If I die in prison, it will be an honor to have given
my life for God’s ancient people." He was arrested at the age of eighty-four, and after ten days of
imprisonment he died.
Nathan Hale was an American patriot caught behind enemy lines and hung without a trial during the
Revolutionary War. His last words were, "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Ten
Boom and Hale both exemplified the attitude toward death urged throughout the Scriptures. For example,
Paul said: "But with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by
life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:20-21). Paul goes on to say
that although it would be far better to die and be with Christ, remaining on earth to serve the church was
still necessary for a while longer.
Not All Heroes Escaped
Hebrews chapter 11 lists many Old Testament heroes, along with a record of the deeds they accomplished
through faith. The writer also refers to "others" who were tortured, mocked, scourged, chained,
imprisoned, stoned, afflicted and killed (see Hebrews 1:35-39). These "others," as well the more prominent
heroes, were counted among those who "obtained a good testimony through faith" (Hebrews 11:39). The
reason is that their hope was not in this life but in Christ who had promised them life eternal.
The early followers of Jesus did not have an escapist mentality. They wouldn’t have recognized the theology
of many in the West that Jesus will come and rescue the church before any suffering or tribulation begins.
They knew that following Christ could cost them their very lives. However, it’s only as we first live for
Christ that we can ever be in a position to die for Him.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, were faced with the prospect of death in a fiery furnace as the price
for their devotion to God. Undaunted, they responded confidently:
If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will
deliver us . . .
But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image
which you have set up (Daniel 3:17-18).
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls the one who is reviled, persecuted and slandered blessed. He
doesn’t then say, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see you’ve had enough of the anti-
Christian bigotry and will no longer stand for it!" Rather, he says it is as they see our good works
(preaching the gospel, healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons, feeding the poor) that they will
glorify our Father in heaven (see Matthew 5:16).
In case we still might have a wrong perspective on how we should respond to persecution, Jesus adds later:
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for
those who spitefully use you and persecute you, That you may be sons of your Father in heaven (Matthew
5:44-45).
How to Prepare
The church in the West must be prepared for persecution. This is not a matter of building bomb shelters or
storing food and water so much as it is a call to prepare our hearts. The preparation includes these steps:
1. We must see persecution as a "fact of life" for a Christian sold out to Christ. This means it is neither
entirely avoidable nor necessarily undesirable. It is an identifying mark of true believers who desire to live
godly in Christ.
2. We must understand that persecution is a sign of the times marking the last days. An increasing amount
of persecution is to be expected as the age draws to an end and our prayer increasingly becomes, "Even so,
come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20). So we might as well get used to it.
3. We must recognize the difference between suffering for the sake of righteousness and just getting in
trouble because of our own stupidity. Though Peter exhorted the believers to expect trials, he also warned
that a Christian should not be suffering "as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody" (I Peter
4:15). Crying "Persecution!" is pretty hollow if we are just receiving the consequences of our own sinful
behavior.
4. We must realize that God will give us grace when we need it. Casper Ten Boom’s daughter Corrie was
imprisoned along with her sister at Ravensbruck, a Nazi concentration camp. Shortly after the death of her
sister, Corrie was released as the result of a clerical error. She then spent the rest of her life telling of the
miraculous things God did in what she called, "the deepest hell that man can create."
Corrie often told the story of how as a little girl she once told her Father that she didn’t think that she could
ever suffer for Jesus. He responded by reminding her that when they rode on the train together he only gave
her the ticket right as the train was arriving. He explained to Corrie that our heavenly Father will likewise
give us what we need right when we need it—but not necessarily before that.
5. We must keep our eyes on Jesus and His ultimate victory (see Hebrews 12:2). Paul was no stranger to
persecution, and he continually warned the believers that various forms of tribulation were inevitable.
Nevertheless, he was not a pessimist, for his eyes were fixed on the availability of Christ’s victory in every
situation imaginable. He was not worried about tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril, or sword; for "in all these things" we can be "more than conquerors through Him who
loved us" (Romans 8:28-39).
Persecution may be inevitable, but defeat certainly is not. If God is for us, it doesn’t really matter who
might be against us; for nothing in heaven or on earth can separate us from His love.

I feel the Spirit of the Lord wanting to address the Pharisee/religious spirit. This is what He gave me today.
PROPHECY
August 11, 1998
Have you reduced me to a method? When I spoke I am the way-

I spoke not of a method!
I desire mercy and not sacrifice.
You insult me by thinking If you do certain things then you deserve my blessings.
You have focused on the way and not I am.
I am the focus.
I am all things.
I am the alpha and the omega.
You are deceived to think its about you. My father's kingdom is not about making all your Circumstances better for you. I
, even I, in the garden prayed Not my will, father, your will be done. I did this so you would Know my father's will is of the
highest importance!!
Even as I humbled myself to do my father's will-So you must do. To do your own will is an abomination.
For many shall say to me in that day, "lord, lord, didn't
We prophesy in your name, cast out demons in your name,
And do many wonders in your name?" But I say to you-
HEED MY FATHER'S WILL. ONLY THOSE WHO DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN SHALL ENTER THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Pray California
Kathleen Pirl
Dear Holy Men and Women of God,
Thank you for praying. The following is a brief summary of the Pray California events as orchestrated by the Holy Spirit
April 16 the prayer meetings, known as a Sacred Assembly, began at Oakhurst the heart of California, gateway to
Yosemite Park. The First Nations People were honored and brought to the forefront as they expressed their cultural
heritage worshiping the Lord. Right from the beginning the spirit of mourning and weeping was over the assembly.
A historical report was then given of the continual breaking of treaties
and promises as an operational mode of the establishment of the United States by the non-first nations cultures that
immigrated to this land. The systematic genocide of the Native People's under Masonic expansionist manifest destiny, a
philosophy derived from the Crusades mentality, was openly exposed. The original perpetrator of this was the assigned
head of the Indian Bureau for California who had made a pact with a native Satchewa who unwittingly sold his people out.
The sad part of this whole issue was that Protestant ministers openly participated in these crimes preaching Darwinism
to back up the extermination of Natives.
But even before the continual broken treaties of the United States government made with the Native Americans was the
Guadlupe Hildago Treaty in which California ceded from Mexico. This treaty when signed stated that the Natives dwelling
in the land would be allowed to live on their land peacefully. It was never kept.
The scriptures that were given were 2 Sam 21:1 to 2 Sam 21:9 regarding the broken treaty with the Gibeonites and the
following judgment on the people (seven sons of Saul were executed) and the incident with Ahab killing Naboth for his
vineyard in 1Kings 21:1 to 2 Kings 9:26.
The tears, mourning, and repentance flowed to the First Nations People as pastors were on their knees acknowledging
the sins of murder, rape, theft, enslavement, humiliation, degradation, and so on. The Native participants then began to
repent for the sins of their people of worshipping the creation instead of the creator, abortions,etc.
April 17th 40 teams went out to different locations over the state to pray while a group covered them in prayer at
Oakhurst. Friday night there was tremendous breakthrough as the Lord of the whole earth declared His Sovereignty.
April 18th the Joshuas and Calebs returned with their reports from the site visits. I will give a few brief testimonies:
San Diego: Natives came up from the Baja and met with a team going to the sacrificial altars on a mountain top. It was
very difficult, but they tore down the stone altars, drove stakes with scriptures into the ground, had communion, and
poured out the elements to sanctify the ground. The guide Juan gave his life to Jesus on the way down from the
mountain. This testimony set the next move of the Holy Spirit to reconcile the Hispanic community in California with the
Anglo-Saxons.
Oroville dam: A team went up to the dam, staked it, prophesied over it, had communion, and poured out the elements
into the waters. This dam in Northern California supplies water to the entire state even down to Los Angles.
Los Angeles: A Christian producer took seven stakes to some of the major film studios with two items of repentance on
his heart. God allowed him to repent for the film industries hindering of the Gospel to the world and for the corruption of
our children from said industry. He went to the Hollywood sign driving a stake underneath it.
Sacramento: Named for the Spanish word for sacrament was not staked but some intercessors and seven pastors
prayed over the capital. Two sticks were tied together, Ephriam and Judah, with revival, repentance, renewal, and
restoration written on the four sides. These sticks were brought to Oakhurst and driven in the ground under an oak tree
outside the church where the Sacred Assembly took place. They were prophesied over and many prophecies and
scriptures were given out. A Filipino pastor then carried a crown on a pillow into the sanctuary as we had a spontaneous
procession to bring the presence of the Lord back into the church. The pastor and crown went to the front of the cross on
the platform. Banners were being waved as people lined each side of the pathway up to the cross. The rest of us in front
of the platform knelt down. We were the pavement stones before the throne of God making a way to usher in His
presence. A prophetic song went up "I stand at the door of my church and knock. Will you let me in? I stand at the door
of my church and knock. Will you let me in?" It was a very holy moment.
Will the Lord come in to California? I believe there are cities that will have outpourings of His presence and there are other
cities in California that will be under judgment.
Looking for His Coming,

Maranatha,
Kathleen Pirl

Prepare! Prepare!

Because of the contents within the vision that I saw on March 31, 1990, I want to share it here:
I saw myself standing in the midst of several people who were warning me not to go into various countries considering the
danger. I insisted that my going was imperative. The need so outweighed the concern of danger. Subsequently, I was
walking across miles of terrain that reflected the scourging of fire. The land had been utterly wasted. Only burnt images
remained where lush trees once abounded, the soil still heaving with the purifying fire, like lava, blistering over the
landscape. Strangely enough, I seemed unaffected by the radiating heat of the ground under my feet.
I saw hundreds of pilgrims walking together in clusters. Each group seemed totally unaware of all the devastation that
surrounded them as they were on their way out of the country. I was perplexed by this as the need was so great, I
couldn't understand why they were leaving. People would continue to flow past me saying "Don't go any further. It's too
dangerous. You'll die in there." But, even as they spoke, I could see into the cities of this country. There was looting,
rioting, and murdering. There were food shortages and terrible plagues, and darkness and terror assailed the people on
every side. As I saw this, I would nod and say to myself, "I'll be alright. They need the Lord in there."
Suddenly, I realized that I was in Israel, and I began to cry out, "Oh, Israel, Israel, come to the Lord." Then I immediately
realized that I had been in country after country all over the world and found the land in the same condition.
In each country I would cry out, "Judgment is coming, judgment is coming - prepare, prepare!" People would walk up to
me and say, "Don't be ridiculous. Judgment has already come. Can't you see? Look at the land!" Each time this would
happen, I would see a vision of bombs falling on the land and I would declare, "No, this is but a warning." Then I would
repeat, "Judgment is coming - judgment is coming -prepare - prepare!."
This took place across America, France, Italy, Canada, Switzerland, Africa, England, virtually every country in the world.
I asked the Lord why the pilgrims seemed totally incognizant of the condition and need of the people. He told
me, "It's because of the mindset of the church. My people think they are going to get out before things get too
bad. So, instead of concern for the lost, they are thinking about getting out!"

This is the expanded message given by the angelic messengers, hence much has been added.
To The Reader,
I have incorporated proverbs throughout this book, which represent a summation of thought which the Holy
Spirit is desiring to bring to life in the various chapters. Please read them and pray over them until you

Forward
At nine years of age, while I was playing in my backyard, I walked out of the natural right into the spiritual world. I found
myself being escorted down a long, winding tunnel by a huge, magnificently beautiful angel right into the throne room of
the Lord. When I entered this amazing room, I saw the Lord sitting on His throne to my right. I was instructed to walk
over to His right side, He pointed to the wall which was off to the right and slightly behind Him. I walked closer to it, and
as I did, the wall became a window to the future. I moved toward the window until I could see clearly. It was as though I
was looking down over a hill into a city, but instead of the city, it was the world in the process of the judgment of the last
days!
From my earliest Christian days, I have been told by the Holy Spirit of the judgments coming upon the whole earth. I have
always been faithful to share what I've been given. The following communications however, have been of a different sort.
I didn't ask the Lord of the experience I had at age nine; I was horrified by what I saw, nor have I asked Him for what has
recently occurred. It is His compassion toward man that moves Him to send forth messages of warning unto the world
when danger lurks ahead. For some reason, in His sovereignty, He chose to grant me these divine encounters. He didn't
grant them to exalt a person, but as a ministry to the Body of Christ and as a warning to the unbeliever.
Just as the Bible says:
And the Lord, the God of their fathers, sent to them persistently by His messengers, because He had
compassion on His people and on His dwelling place: But they kept mocking the messengers of God, and
despising His words, and scoffing at His prophets, till the wrath of the Lord rose against His people, till there
was no remedy or healing. (II Chron. 36:15-16 Amp.)
I didn't ask to know these things, but I am called to share all that I've been showed with people everywhere.
Some will believe it; some will not. Some that won't receive it through me will receive it through another. I'm
sure that's why Jesus is so diverse in the way He sends messages to us. His desire is that as many as possible
will hear and receive His urgent warnings.
In addition to His instructions to speak of things to come and to give understanding as to why the judgments
are being sent, He has also revealed to me what we can do in some cases to prepare. That which is
contained in this book was given by the instrumentality of divinely granted appearance, and everything I
share is backed by careful study in the Word of God. It will prove to be sure.
There will be those who will not believe the Word through any source at this time. However, as they see the
things described in this book begin to move into full swing, they will repent and turn to Jesus. In so doing,
they may in the end be some of God's greatest heroes of faith. But the scripture does say that the Lord sent
repeated warnings until the day came that there was no longer any remedy. That's where we are today.
Although there is still a remedy for the individual, there is none left for the nations, including America.
Sixteen years ago, while I was sitting in my family room, the Lord gave me a vision. First, my mind went blank,
and my eyes saw only dark. Then in a split second I saw out in front of me the United States Seal turning end
over end. The closer it got, the larger it became until it was the size of a man; coming at a stand-still nearly two
feet from me, it then disappeared. Next, I saw the corner of a Bible with a black leather cover on it. It looked as
though someone was thumbing the corner of the pages in rapid succession. Just as before, it stated a long
distance from me, and as it came closer, it too grew equally as large. At about the same place, it stopped and
disappeared. Then a cross appeared. It too came from a great distance away and as it moved closer, and grew
exceedingly large. It stopped about two feet in front of me. Simultaneously, as a voice (that sounded like it was
reverberating down a long tunnel) spoke the words, "Liberty through Christ Jesus." These same words appeared
in an arch over the cross.
This was the message for America. I was subsequently led out to point the people of God back to Himself and
inspire a hunger for Him, with the Holy Sprit bearing witness with signs and wonders following. This was, of
course, in hopes of bringing America back to Jesus before it was too late. In addition, I have fasted long fasts
by His direction for the healing of our nation.
Now in 1997, as I look back over the last decade. I see such erosion it's heartbreaking. For instance, fifteen
years ago we wouldn't have heard a news reporter on the six o'clock news make a statement like, " I would
hate to see them lose any ground for their cause. They have fought so hard." This statement was made just a
few years ago by an anchorperson in California after showing a film clip of a hundred or so homosexuals
standing around singing.
What she didn't say was that those same people had violently broken into a private meeting, pushed people
down, and overturned tables. People were physically hurt by their violence. She also failed to mention how
they made obscene gestures, acted out homosexual movements toward one another while others continued
in their violence. Nor did she include that it took the police force from two precincts to finally get them under
control. All the viewers were allowed to see was the "seemingly" innocent people standing up for gay rights,
while the media knowingly hid the fact of violence behind the scenes and openly applauded their movement.
While God loves people that are practicing homosexuality, He absolutely abhors the sin in which they are
involved. His tolerance, if you will, has peaked out! Twenty years ago there was still enough of a puritanical
base in this country that things of this nature wouldn't have been tolerated by the average citizen either. It's a
symptom of a huge underlying cancer of immorality that is eroding this country's very foundation. We have
jumped out of the spoon and into the hot grease. But, before it's over, as you will come to see in this reading,
we will have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire! The degradation of all morality will be so rampant
that it would make today's average American shiver.
Consequently, God's message has changed. He is no longer offering liberty to that nation. He said, "Judgment
is sure," and we have only five minutes to midnight, at which time His wrath will be poured out, Yet, He still
offers liberty to all who will accept it and press into His bosom in purity through Christ Jesus.
As you read the words of this book, know that although the message is a sobering one, it is from God's heart.
Receiving it in that manner, make your way to Him with all diligence, making the following scripture your
daily motivation, that you might be kept safe.
God said to Israel:
Set your [minds and] hearts on all the words which I command you this day, that you may command them
to your children, that they may be watchful to do all the words of this law. For it is not an empty and
worthless trifle to you; it is your very life (Deut. 32:46-47 Amp.)
This is not a commentary on the Book of Revelation. I am not attempting to teach on end time prophecy - nor am I
desiring to write a message on the sensational. If one surveys these pages expecting any of the above, they will be
terribly disappointed.
My only desire is to relate a message that I was given to communicate to the Body of Christ as well as to the unsaved.
Humanity's need for the strength, wisdom and comfort of their Creator is greater now than at any other time in history.
My prayer will be that in digesting the message contained herein, the reader will move with all diligence into Christ Jesus.
Virtually take out all the stops, so to speak, and with a compelling urgency seek the Lord's face until you are abounding
in His grace, reaching deeply into Him until Jesus lives in you in the fullness of His boundless might.
In short, "Prepare For The Winds of Change."

A Word On Prophecy
Peter exclaimed, "This is that," when beginning his famous discourse on the Day of Pentecost. He
went on to say:
I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy (telling forth
the divine counsels), your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men
shall dream dreams (Acts 2:16-17 Amp.)
What then is the purpose of this kind of demonstration? It is to provide prophecy, (the telling forth of the divine counsels).
Further, Revelation 19:10 reads:
For the substance (essence) of truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the
inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine
and yours]. (Amp.) (emphasis added)
In other words, when a manifestation of this nature is granted, it is in order that Jesus may reveal or further clarify truth
and that in rendering a truth, He might give counsel.
Peter said in quoting Joel... "your young men shall see visions". Yet, we know of many cases when in fact, young men
saw dreams - a good example is Joseph. Joel also indicated that old men shall dream dreams. Yet, the apostle John
saw one of history's greatest visions when he was around 90 years old. Further, he promised both menservants and
maidservants would prophesy - but he said nothing of mules. Yet, it was a mule God prophesied through in order to save
Balaam's life. (Num. 22:27-33) The point I'm attempting to make is that this exciting proclamation of Peter's concerning
the last days ministry of the Holy Spirit is not making promises that Lord will use one in exclusion of another.
In both the Old and New Testaments, God has made Himself known to whomever He chose - whenever He chose. He
hasn't changed that just for today. Open your hearts. Let the Holy Spirit lead you all into all truth as you read the pages
of this message. Search the scriptures. Let them further testify to it's validity, then prayerfully meditate on all your read
until you're convinced that all that Jesus wanted you to get on this has been given to you. You can do no more than that,
and the Lord will honor you in your endeavor.
Regarding the experiences I will be sharing, the Lord did not intend for them to leave us without hope - quite the contrary.
It's purpose is to give us direction which, when, obeyed, will turn potential tragedy into triumph. Throughout scripture, we
find God's counsel has proven to be substantial, equitable, and warlike, for the cause of truth and capable of shielding all
who will accept it.
Therefore, as you read the following words, set your minds to look for hope. Also search for the keys you can use to
change your future and the future of those you love. Allow the Holy Spirit to pull you and stretch you into a depth of
commitment not known before. Offer yourself to the Lord as a catalyst to spark change in those around you. Do
something positive with what you gain from this. We need not be afraid. If we are living a holy life, we will live in divine
protection regardless of what others experience. Jesus will in fact be closer to His church during the hour of darkness
than He seems to be right now. So, let His peace rule your heart through trusting obedience in the days ahead.
When united, the Church is the most powerful single entity in the world. No one wants to see her reach her highest
potential more than Jesus. May all therefore, burn with the desire to do our utmost for His absolute highest.
Part One
CHAPTER ONE
The White Horse

And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His messenger (angel) to make known
and exhibit to His servants what must soon come to pass. (Rev. 22:6 Amp.)
On January 10, 1990, I was granted a visitation by an angel. When I first saw this majestic being, I was awe-struck by
his beauty, his power, and his obvious authority. He was dressed in a white garb resembling an old Roman military
uniform. His belt and type of breastplate were of gold. His whole appearance seemed to glow with the glow of heaven
itself. He was riding an equally beautiful and powerful white war-horse. Both horse and rider were very large. The horse
was much larger than any horse you and I would ever have occasion to see here on earth. It was indeed obvious that this
incredible being was one of God's higher-ranking dignitaries.
I was frightened by the sight of him and would soon find myself quite distressed over his message to us. I first saw him
as he rode this incredible war-horse down what could have been any street in a typical subdivision anywhere in America.
He was carrying a huge sword in his hand. This Instrument was actually long enough to be a lance, but its shape was
that of a sword. With it, he would touch the roof of the houses on either side of the road out of every two or three he
passed, thereby bringing judgment. He would declare, "Let the judgment fall from the greatest to the least of the
unrepentant." (I'll explain more about this later.) I then found myself standing at the end of this same street watching
intently and fearfully as this illustrious angel moved down the street in my direction.
After every house that he cursed, he would proclaim warnings, as it were into the streets. "Great judgment is coming to
the lovers of this world. Those unrepentant and cripplers of the children - fear!" Again and again, he would exclaim,
"Babylon is falling! Come out; come out of her my children. Take nothing with you; only the clothes on your back and
don't begrudge the cost. Judgment is coming at midnight. The hour is 11:55 (p.m.)! I say don't mourn the loss, only
come away: Come out of her. Run from the daughter of wickedness! Time is at an end. Judgment is sure...," this he
would cry out over and over again, as one would imagine a town crier doing, such as Paul Revere of old.
He came to a standstill in front of me, sitting on his horse he spoke with me, giving me a great deal of instruction.
Calling me by name, he said, "Nita, warn the people. Warn the people of the earth that judgment is coming at midnight,
and the hour is even now 11:55 (p.m.). Everywhere tell them to heed the teachers. Heed my anointed, for their counsel is
sure, and is the way of safety and life.
Counsel is coming from behind the veil. Among other things, counsel concerning spiritual warfare. Government is again
coming to the church, and God bringing forth the mighty men of valor to lead the church forth in war.
Tell my people; Heed the teachers, for their counsel is sure and will provide safety in treacherous time. Heed the
prophets and apostles, heed my anointed, for their counsel is sure and a way of safety and life.
God will be lifting up specially anointed teachers, prophets of the Most High. They will be given the rod of government.
They will carry the sword bringing separation and judgment and will be healers of great breaches among My own.
They will prepare the saints with battle strategy and equip them with the power of a mighty warrior, bearing the anointing
to spoil. Heaven's government (prophets and apostles) coming in to separate, heal and lead out into strategic battle.
These prophets will be teachers who will be given counsel from behind the veil. Counsel of superior wisdom and strategy
for safety, unity and spiritual warfare. They will be taken into the secret counsel of the Most High to obtain what must be
diligently taught to the elect. This counsel will provide safety in treacherous times. Don't mourn, only heed the voice of
the Spirit of counsel and might. Tell my people to heed the coming anointed ones, tell them to prepare!
From that point, he began to share many things. He gave much instruction, much information and much warning. Some
will be on the pages of this book. Some will not, as it has been sealed up for a later date. He finally told me I would find
further understudying of these things in the book of Zechariah. "Study it, understand it, Let the Holy Sprit give you much
enlightenment in it," he instructed.
In closing, he said one more time, "Go forth now and tell the people of the earth. Warn them judgment is coming and it's
sure." Then he left, and I was alone in my room.
As I said earlier, this heavenly messenger came to give a most important communiqué not only to the church (although it
is the church that is the Lord's heart throb), but also to the unsaved as His name is still "Merciful", and He deeply cares
about every living soul. Consequently, some of what I will have to say will be to you as a believer while the remainder is a
strong warning to the unbeliever.

CHAPTER TWO
I Am Jealous
The Lord said of Himself: For the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God. (Exodus
34:14 Amp.)
Here then, we see His name and His character spelled out "JEALOUS"; a holy possessiveness to the highest degree of
that which belongs to Him. Yet, there is much more to it than just that. As in every face of God we are given the privilege
to know there are two sides. Mercy becomes judgment to God's rivals. Salvation becomes damnation when one chooses
sin rather than holiness. The Nurturer becomes an Adamant Stone to the rebellious. It is not that God changes, for he
says, " I change not." But our choices set us face to face with that part of Him that has to deal with the consequences of
our decisions. Even so, the Lord, whose name is Jealous, carries within Himself characteristics of this jealously which
we cherish and yearn for.
The external blessings of being at peace with that name are profuse. All we need to do is look at a few who were at
peace with Him to understand. Joseph became number two in the heads of state in all of Egypt. He had a lovely wife and
two sons. He became a man of distinctive wealth as well as stature. It was for him that his whole family was granted the
finest land in Egypt.
What would need to be said of Moses? Who of us today has such an intimate relationship with "The Lord whose name is
Jealous?" Who today is so quickly defended by God Himself when our leadership comes under attack? God made him a
leader of a nation, and one of the most beloved men by the Jews and Christians alike for thousands of years. Most
importantly, Moses spoke with God face to face, and daily met with him in the Tent of Meeting. God Himself sent an
angel to bury his servant's body. He so meticulously took care of important details both in Moses' life and in his death.
This is a relationship that the Bible tells us is available to any who will zealously seek it.
Then, of course, there's Samuel. God let none of his words fall to the ground. God established him in favor such as would
ordinarily be given a king. His honor still remains to this day. What about David? He wasn't perfect, but he was God's.
Oh, how God loved and blessed him continually. The Psalms pulsate with the overtures of the love they shared. Let us
also not forget Paul, Peter, James and John. The bountiful blessings of being at peace with the "The Lord whose name is
Jealous" are beyond comprehension. Once you have felt the embrace of God's jealously, you will never want anything
less. He will tolerate no rivals. He becomes like a jealous lover, you might say. You will know Him in ways few others
will. He tells you secrets, gives you gifts, but most of all, He makes Himself known to you, and manifests Himself in you.
He isn't like a jealous mate who wants to control your every thought and will never reveal anything about Himself, keeping
you at arms length from true intimacy. He simply lets you know how incredibly hungry He is for you, giving Himself to
you that you might search out the seemingly unsearchableness of His person. He will give tokens of his love all along the
path of your developing relationship. This He does to encourage you to keep moving forward in Him. Yet all this is not
without chastisements that will insure the removal of things that would hinder fuller growth.
He says of one who lives in that place, "You are the apple of my eye. If one touches you, they've touched Me." People
feel no need to fight for themselves when they rest there, as He does it all, just like the most gallant husband.
In order to dwell there, however, you must relinquish all desire to control your own future. Your future truly is at rest in His
hands. So, you never really look for Him to defend you anymore. In fact, you will even at times find yourself praying that
He won't for the sake of your offender.
Yours becomes a life filled with the supernatural. Zechariah 1:14 records Him saying, "Thus says the Lord of Hosts; I am
jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great jealousy." It's as though the great Lover woke up, shook his head and found
the nations violating His bride. In anger He shouts, "I am jealous with a great jealousy." Watch out nations, you touched
the wrong one this time, and I won't tolerate it! ... It is however a picture of something to come...
About eleven years ago, which puts us right at 1985, God bestirred Himself. He looked at his bride in preparation for
bestowing blessings, and disgust welled up within Him at what He saw. In one tent, she was playing the harlot with the
world and calling herself the queen of heaven. In another tent, she was under incredible bondage and persecution while
giving way to compromise hoping to appease God and government. Only a remnant in that tent stole His heart away for
her faithfulness in tribulation. In yet another tent, He noticed that she, like Rachel, put His image on the mantel with the
rest of her collection of gods, just to be safe. He saw harlotry and greed played out within so many tents around the
world, with so few faithful that He was in awe.
Yet He has His way, and the spoiled, but unfaithful bride must be brought before the courts so that her lewdness can be
exposed.
So, He did just that, according to His own law. (Numbers chapter 5) He brought his wife before the priest and caused her
to drink of the bitter water that brings a curse. It would follow that if she had been faithful, she would walk away blessed
by God and bring forth the fruit of Her womb. If not, the bitter water would be to her a curse. Her thigh would rot, her
womb would be closed, and she would swell in ugly disfigurement. She would be cursed by God and know the
heartbreak of her barren womb.
She drank the cup in 1985 and rapidly began to disfigure, and God, as it were, seemed to have closed the womb of His
unfaithful bride. Souls were still saved, but sickeningly few compared to the millions going to hell with a slap on the back
from the church who played the harlot with them.
Her beauty has become her shame. There is probably more wealth in the church today than at any other time in history.
Yet, strangely enough, more souls aren't being born again with that money. People are just living in more expensive
homes, driving more expensive cars, wearing designer clothes, virtually gorging on the lusts and passions of her flesh
and boasting about how God has provided all this extravagance so she can better fit in with the world. She foolishly
thinks her secret lovers applaud and respect her for her cheap harlotry. She's pouring a cup of the world's water into her
waste places that are the size of deserts and can't figure out why it won't satisfy.
Adultery can't satisfy, Church! There is a wounded Lover that was left behind, and He's been aroused.
Why do we boisterously applaud ourselves every time we can rub elbows with something the world has, as though we
have improved ourselves? If it meets people's needs, the church should be the innovator, not the follower. If it satisfies
passions for anything other than God's, His kingdom, the private family, the family of God, or souls, we should want no
part of it. Yet, if people are not spiritual enough to figure that out for themselves, they are already too entrenched in the
lie they live. With their mental lists tucked within easy reach, they are well prepared with their justifying arguments as to
why, as a child of God, they have the right to live, as do the heathen.
God knows no such thing as carnal possessiveness. His jealous heart is holy, pure, and rigidly righteous. His jealously
feeds the hungry heart of His faithful bride with life, hope, and graciousness poured out in open measure. He becomes
her song, filling the air with passionate tones of exquisite melodies of love. He moves her to sacrifices and services which
would terrify a mortal, but which are hardly noticed by her as she destroys enemy fortresses from which others run.
But to the unfaithful, God's jealously is as cruel as Sheol. His life in holy unfeigned fervor for His bride's soul, and He'll
take no less commitment on her part. Woe be it to the foolish bride that takes His name in vain, then flaunts her
adulterous lifestyle before God's enemies. To that one, His jealously may be as the curse of death. Oh, that the church
would repent, turn to her God, and embrace her wounded Husband, and be healed.
Hell hath no fury like the scorn of a betrayed mate. The "Jealously" that would have healed and protected us from the
coming storm will be the very power that will be our enemy if we don't repent and bring forth fruits that prove the heart.
Heaven's warning is strong!
God is beginning to visit His Church in a holy visitation. When He graces his people with something of this nature, we are
immediately thrust into a new level of accountability and responsibility. When God's holy presence enters, created
beings, angelic or human, fall to their faces not because they are told to, but because they are compelled to. They are
too afraid to talk to Him. One realizes the extent of one's sinfulness in light of an exceedingly Holy God. If your heart is
contrite, you deeply appreciate His mercy in allowing you to live, let along be in His presence. Your love for Him grows
immensely because your respect for Him soars into new heights.
Embodied in His holiness is His jealousy. When the Lord visits His church in this way, sharp distinctions become
apparent. You're either going to live in Jesus, holy and pure, or you're going to go back to the world. One way or the
other, your life will never be the same. This type of visitation is going to be upon us in full force. Although it began a
couple of years ago with a few, we began to see in 1991 the beginning of a major impact of this face of God in some
nations of the world. We need to prepare by cleaning up our hearts and lives so we don't end up a fatality, as this
presence of God continues and moves across America.
The scripture said His jealously has been aroused. James said to draw close to Him, even grieve over all our
unfaithfulness, and He will draw nigh unto us. God is abundantly merciful to the repentant. If His jealously could be
described as a garment, I would say that on the inside of it, we are kept safe and close to His heart. But if we stand far
off and unrepentant, we are then on the outside looking in and in danger of judgment. Where will you be dear saint?

CHAPTER 3
The Separator
The angel said, "And He will be called the Separator!"
There are two activities of the Holy Spirit which will be closely linked. The release of the Anointing of Judgment and the
Anointing of Separation that is coming upon the body, may have indeed, already begun they will have a coupling
influence in some areas. There will be those who will be separated to be judged.
We will be talking about the work of "Jesus the Separator" in this chapter and the "Anointing of Judgment" in the next.
We saw how "The God whose name is Jealous" caused the church to come before Him and drink the cup of bitterness to
prove whether or not she had been faithful. We also saw her weighed in the balance, so to speak and found wanting. Yet,
in the need, God's jealousy will be a ring of protection round about His bride. Zechariah called it a "ring of fire round
about". Just as a ring of campfires would serve as protection against wild beasts for a traveling wagon train, God's ring of
fire will protect His chaste bride from harm intended by her enemies.
Throughout this chapter, as well as this whole process up to and including the judgment of the last days, remember the
following:
Jesus is going to judge His leadership, that the body may fear with holy awe.
Then He will judge the body, that the world might fear.
Then He will judge the world, that all might fear.
The Bible Says:
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power - making it active, operative, energizing, and
effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul)
and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature] exposing and sifting
and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. And not a creature exists that is
concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him
with Whom we have to do. (Heb. 4:12-13 Amp.) (Emphasis Added)
In preparation for this book, the Holy Spirit showed me in an open vision the working of the Word of God today.
I saw two swords going out across the land into all the world. As they moved toward the earth, they began
moving up and down. While one moved down the other moved upward in a sort of clipping action. I saw them
move swiftly over the earth. The Holy Spirit then said, "My Word is sharper than any two-edged sword, and I've
sent it out to all the world that it might expose and sift, analyze and judge, all that live on the face of the earth."
Then the two swords became a huge sieve. I saw wheat being poured into this sieve and the rotating action
began. The granules of wheat were sifted and pulverized in the action of this huge sieve, after which it would
come out the bottom as fine little granules.
Then the sieve seemed to develop a sort of vacuum so that the wheat was being pulled into it from the four
corners of the earth. Nothing could withstand the power of this suction. I realized the church and facets of the
world, such as governments and media, educational systems, and people from every kindred, tongue and nation
were going through it. The Holy Spirit said, "This is the way my Word works. It goes forth exposing, sifting,
analyzing and judging the innermost parts of man and all of creation. Nothing is concealed from its power. It
goes forth today in a fervent manner as never before to expose and sift with great upheavals. It will sift the heart
and the nations as it analyzes and brings the full judgment to all that have not stood the test".
I could see that, although this sieve was big enough to sift the nations, it was capable of microscopic work. Then
He said, "This is what is meant by Hebrews 4:12,13. Tell the people to prepare for sifting by My Word."
Never at any time in history will there need to be grace in the hearts of God's saints more than during the coming years.
So prepare! In all of the supernatural experiences recorded in this book, no one word was spoken more than the word
"PREPARE."
Then Jesus said:
I came into this world for judgment [as a Separator, in order that there might be separation.] (John 9:39
Amp.)
Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth; I come not to send peace, but a sword. (Matt. 10:34)
Although He spoke this truth many times and in many different ways, never will we see it become so alive as today.
The Lord has a twofold purpose in what He is doing. First, He is going to fulfill Ephesians 4:12, 13, bringing into
manifestation the "one man" full of Christ. That is, the born again Jew and Gentile made into the image of His first-born,
Christ Jesus, through His blood. In so doing, we well see the day of "greater things" as He promised, and the sin of the
world will be completely judged according to John 16:8-11. The second purpose is that Jesus still wants to evangelize the
world.
~Sifting of His Shepherds~
There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled (Zechariah 11:3)
This is a real clear picture of what we will hear. However, there will be those who will not be howling for the devastation of
the sheep or for the effect it will have on the heart of the sinner when the leaders, both mighty and small, are brought to
exposure; but they will be howling for their glory, their reputation, their financial status, etc. Oh, how many will be so
busy weeping for themselves that they won't have time to weep for those affected by their sin? Yet, amidst all this, there
will be those whose eyes will be opened, and instead of for themselves, they will be wailing for all those traumatized by
their selfishness, just as King David of old did after his sin with Bathsheba.
I believe it was in 1983 that the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice: "Ministries made
of man will fall in this hour!" Later, He impressed upon my heart that the process would begin
in 1985, and from there, would mushroom.
It has indeed started, but we have yet to enter into the mushroom effect. I believe another elevation began to take place in
1991, and will continue to increase. The angel assured me of what the scripture already says. God will not be mocked.
Judgment must start at the house of God.
Howl, fir trees; for the cedar is fallen because the mighty are spoiled; howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the
forest of the vintage is come down. (Zech. 11:2) (emphasis added)
There are leaders of the church in the free world who have pampered and spoiled themselves with God's finances.
Presidents of some major corporations don't make as much as some ministers do in the ministry today. If Jesus was to
be the prototype for ministers who would walk in the secret of God's counsel and with the awesome power of the Holy
Spirit to set the captives free, then why do we have pampered ministers walking in so little power on an international
scale? While I'm not saying this is true without exception, the numbers it typifies are sickeningly high.
Please understand, I'm not saying the Lord doesn't want ministers to have homes, cars, etc., but it's the place these
things hold in the heart and corresponding excess that God is dealing with. God's ministers are judged by a much higher
standard than others (James 3:1). It's His ministers that have propagated a gospel without a cross, righteousness with
responsibility, and a justification of greed in the heart of the church. It hasn't been the Holy Spirit. He will never contradict
the Word to gain friends. Because ministers have made holiness a religion without relationship and a life of works and
outward appearance, they have put their own stamp of approval on greed, teaching that we should give to get, and when
we get, get big and spend it big. To coat it with righteousness, the body is reminded, "but you remember to tithe on all
you get." Why? So you can get some more? Jesus hates greed. It's idolatry and it eats at the soul like cancer.
So God is dealing against it. Soon, everyone will know whose ministry was made by man and whose was made by the
Holy Spirit of the church. No one will have to guess.
Ministers would find it a wise thing to come before the Lord and ask Him to send His searching ray through their hearts,
as He never has before so that every sin will be dealt with by the cross. Joel said it like this:
Let the Priests, the ministers of the Lord weep between the porch and the altar. (Joel 2:17 Amp.) ... Now
says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with
mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored]. (Joel 2:12 Amp)
Some will lose everything, but in the loss, they will find the Lord, as perhaps they have not known Him in years. For
some others, maybe as they have never known Him. In their brokenness and contrition, in finding God, they will find the
ministry they have never touched before, although it was for the fulfillment of that ministry that they were created. The
church will speak of them as Israel spoke of her beloved David. Their hearts will be for God and for God's people.
Other ministers, the body will lose. Of these, there will be two categories. One segment will just leave the ministry -
some will even be taken by death. The other part of the group will become goat leaders. During this process, all facades
will be removed. The true hearts will be made manifest. Of this group that will become goat leaders, that with which they
deceive others as well as that by which they are deceived, will be their platforms to gather unto themselves the insincere
of the flock. The word in ministry in this hour will be "purity in humility".
~Separating~
The angel told me there would be three categories of separation. He said it like this:
"In that day they will call Him the Separator as He will separate the precious from the vile, the sheep from
the goats, and the wheat from the tares."
"A wise king winnows out the wicked [from among the good] and brings the threshing wheel over them [to
separate the chaff from the grain]" Prov. 20:26 (Amp.)
The "precious from the vile" is the truth from the lie. God will make such a difference in the true gospel from the defective
gospel that the church will turn with a true hunger from the dainty morsels and other forms of impure gospel to that which
is pure.
This will facilitate the next step - "the separation of the sheep from the goats". Whenever truth is being released with
higher levels of anointing, it has cataclysmic effects on that which opposes it. Therefore, the next step will be
accompanied by eruptions, rending of hearts, and traumatized lives. It won't be a smooth transition. Yet, amidst all of
this, God will be in perfect control, and it will turn out beautifully. Don't fear - trust in Him! We will see the sheep and
the true shepherds begin to migrate, if you will, toward the pole of this purer truth. Meanwhile, the goats will follow the
false shepherds, and together they will make their way to the path leading toward total departure from the truth. This
then, is a separation of the true Christian from the one who is simply a professing Christian and has no desire to go all
the way with God. It will happen remarkably fast.
The third sword of separation will be "the wheat from the tares". That is the church from the unsaved. The church will
make such a departure from the world's system and the ways of the world that it would ordinarily stagger the mind. It
won' be difficult by this time to discern who belongs to Christ, that is who, in fact, are the true wheat and who are the
tares.
And I took my staff, Beauty or Grace, and broke it in pieces to show that I was annulling the covenant. So
the covenant was annulled on that day, and thus the most wretched of the flock and the traffickers in the
sheep who were watching me knew that it was truly the Lord. (v.14)-Then I broke into pieces my other staff,
Band or Union, indicating that I was annulling the brotherhood. (Zech. 11:10, 11, 14.Amp.)
This is not the end of the separating process, but the beginning, as we will see. The angel gave me understudying
regarding the whole process of separation that will go on, and how it will touch all of society and every facet of life; but it
will start in the church. He took the staff called Grace, and broke it to symbolize that God's covenant with the
unrepentant was broken. Not that God has rejected them, but that His protection over them was removed and the enemy
would have free course. Under this new level of exposure to enemy attack, people will go one way or the another very
quickly. Paul said, "I have turned these two men over to Satan for the destruction of their flesh that their souls might be
saved." This is what the Lord is saying.
When God breaks His covenant of grace, He then breaks the covenant of unity. When man has no covenant with God,
there is no such thing as peace among men. When God's binding covenant of unity is broken, then men resort to war.
Even so, my brothers and sisters, we will feel the effect of this tearing, because those who will lose covenant with God for
their love for the world, are not going to be strangers, but close friends and family. It's going to hurt as the gap is made
wider, but don't give up. For it will be the time to pray, give grace, and believe as you never have before. As they begin to
cycle in God's chastisements, many will decide to run to the Lord and repent rather than continue in rebellion and be
destroyed. Thus, they will return with full commitment, never to stray again.
So now, prepare. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Don't give up - the best is yet ahead.
God is making man-sized warriors out of His church. When this army raises up, we are going to punch crater-sized holes
in the enemies' walls and take the booty. Satan knows it. He fears it, but he can't stop it. Through it God will be greatly
glorified.
~Three Shepherds~
And I cut off the three shepherds [the civil authorities, the priests, and the prophets] in one month, for I was
weary and impatient with them, and they also loathed me. (Zech. 11:8 Amp)
This separating process will begin in God's Kingdom and move out into the world. Zechariah spoke of three shepherds
coming under God's dealing: civil authorities, the priests and the prophets. The first thing He will do is bring separation.
The second will be judgment. However, in this chapter, we will speak only of the separation process and why that is to
occur. Judgment will be covered in the next chapter.
In the Jewish faith, religion and politics are intricately interwoven. In the days of Zechariah this was so. The problem was
that the whole system was corrupt. None sought after God, even though the purpose of the system was to provide a way
for the Jews to worship God in their own country. Today there is no false premise as in Zechariah's day. These
shepherds as listed here have no desire to lead you to the only true God, but instead they lead you as far away from Him
as they can. To them, everything is a means to it's own end. The Lord is going to deal against it.
Priests
The leaders of the church will be the first to feel the piercing of the separating sword. He said in Isaiah, "I'll make strong
your bones." That's what He is doing. By this process, He is going to make the backbone of the church strong again.
Thus the Lord will establish the church in "purity in humility". Subsequently will come the revealing of Christ the King in
His church.
Civil Authorities
Secondly, the sword is going to go forth to deal with civil authorities. Those who have become cripplers of the children will
fully experience that hard blow of His justice as it works against their evil ways. High-ranking dignitaries are applauding
great deceivers while the truth lays openly exposed to their blinded eyes. Yet they claim they see only light, only hope.
The way God deals with dignitaries world wide will set us in awe. Some international leaders are ripe for judgment.
Others, some that will shock us, will fall headlong into the Kingdom of Grace, leading, it will seem, whole nations to the
Lord.
In short, gray areas are going to be banished, and men and women will be known for what they are. Even now many
government officials are working day and night to prevent what the church calls righteous government. AS the Psalmist
writes:
They lay crafty schemes against Your people and consult together against Your hidden and precious ones.
(v. 5) - For they have consulted together with one accord and one heart against you. (Ps. 83:3 & 5 Amp.)
There are Satanists, New Agers and those involved in every form of the occult in our own government as well as those in
other countries. These people hate God, Christians, and the Jews, and they are already making plans to wipe out all
three. (I'll speak more about that later.)
Government agencies from Child Protective Service (C.P.S.), to foster care, to the courtrooms, are inadvertently
supporting pornography. War agencies and peace agencies alike will be shown without an excuse for their sins against
humanity before the Lord is finished. The church is supposed to be God's watchdog on this earth so to speak, to keep
others abreast of the atrocities that go on so we can wash out the cancer and bring healing the nations. But only a few
have ever taken the incentive to fulfill their God-given responsibility. Consequently, the Lord will have to undertake where
the church has failed, and He is about to do just that.
Don't fear! Dear Christian, be not afraid. The afore-mentioned process will sting and bring fear only if you're not equipped
with grace. Press into God - know the nature and character of Jesus, for He is our Chief Shepherd. Know His Word.
Know how to pray. Turn from all that hinders and keep your heart and eyes set on Jesus whose love and care will never
fail you.
Armed in His grace, you'll do just fine. So begin to prepare now. Don't wait. Seek His face with all your hearts and stay in
strong active fellowship with other saints. If you will do this, your victories will be immeasurable. If not, how will you make
it? God kept trying to prepare Israel to go into the promised land. He tried to prepare them for battle, but they wouldn't
hear. When the time came, their hearts fainted. God could do nothing with them. So, all but two men of that generation
died. Unlike the two brave warriors and the new generation of the twelve tribes, they never saw the promised land.
Don't let that be true today. God is calling His church and the world to accountability. What will your response be? Keep
in mind that your response will dictate what He will do. Repentance and submission to Jesus and His word will insure His
loving protection.
In conclusion, there will be much exposure of sin in government: some plain filth, some embezzling, some even heinous
crimes. All will be separated. Some will be separated to righteousness; some will be put in line for varying levels of
judgment.
The Prophets
Just as God was dealing with the false prophets of Zechariah's day, He will be dealing with the false prophets of this day.
Who are they? The media, religious leaders who are propagating false religions, secular learning institutions we call
schools, and higher schools of learning, are false prophets. Even those who are giving the body a false sense of world
security will be dealt with. Some will be separated into righteousness and others into judgment. Your prayers however,
could determine a positive end for a loved one.
It will be the secular media that will be shouting the awesome reports of the great revival that will sweep the land.
Thousands of these prophets, if you will, will be saved through it while others will increase the propagation of all that
opposes God and put themselves in line for judgment. There has been a sort of unity in the media leaning towards
humanism and away from Christian values. The only values that seem to oppose the various levels of deception which are
taking place today are the Christian voices, but they hardly seem to make a dent in the world's armor.
As we shall soon see, the day is coming when there will seem to be confusion of speech among the ranks. This will be
the result of the sword of separation. Those who will embrace the gospel through the incredible things they will see as a
result of the powerful move of God in the land, will speak with as much zeal for truth as they once did in opposition to it.
While on the opposite spectrum, the remainder of the media will ultimately become an instrument in the hands of the
antichrist. Their reporting has never before known the bias and propensity toward antichrist values that it will come to
know very soon. They will eventually be "hate God" propagators, hating all that is righteous and that depicts righteous
standards in the earth.
The whole media in Russia has been built on falsehood. Whatever had to be said to keep the people submissive to
government is what was declared. It rarely had an element of truth. They were the sowers of "hate God, Christians, and
Jews" rhetoric, propagating it as the highest gospel.
Yet even Russia's media will seem like the high school glee club compared to the "new propagators" of tomorrow. Of
course, it will be called, "voice of the people". By the time this reaches its climax, they will, in fact, be the voice of the
people. Their gospel will be "hate for all that is good" and "love for all that is vile". Isaiah said: "Woe to those who call evil
good, and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." (Is.
5:20)
This is happening now in small measure, but in the very near future their declarations will stagger the mind of anyone who
has even the slightest regard for purity. It will be the media that will fuel the flame of persecution and martyrdom coming
upon the true church and the Jew interglobally. It will in time to come, be this blinded faculty that will be so instrumental
in bringing the antichrist into power. They will be securing themselves in the bed of judgment, coal by burning hot coal.
Unknown to us all, in every form of media, antichrist programming is involved. Whether it is news, cartoons, magazines,
or billboards, it is being implanted in your minds in ways I am not at liberty to discuss yet. Consequently, going to the
next step of blatant outwards show won't be difficult at all.
In the coming years, persecution of the church will be televised as special-events-type broadcasting. In the end, they will
prove to be one of the church's worst enemies.
Television will speedily become more vile than we can imagine. Horror movies of the most barbarous and grotesque
nature will be typical entertainment on daytime programming. Sexuality, even to blatant nude and sex scenes, will be
commonplace. Homosexuality and every kind of rank perversion on our sets will be tomorrow's baby-sitters. Spiritism,
Satanism, and grotesque murders will be part of the American diet on a daily basis. Then will come God's judgment!
We have spoken about the Separator as He sends His sword to separate truth from deception, to separate those who will
go all the way for the Lord, from those who are not willing to pay the price of the faith, and to separate the world from the
church. We shared about the work of separation in the leaders of the church, the civil authorities, and the false prophets.
Now we have one last category to speak about, and it will undoubtedly be the hardest of all to handle, at least for a
season.
The Family
I saw the sword of separation coming upon the family. It will start at the top of the head of the house and work its way
down to the youngest. All that it touches will fall to either righteousness or judgment.
Husbands who are wife beaters or fathers who are child abusers, saved or unsaved, if not repentant, will fall to judgment.
The same will occur with the wife on down. Abusers of themselves or abusers of others, whether physical, emotional,
sexual, criminal abuse or mental, drug or alcohol abuse, it won't matter. If a man is good to his family but engages in
acts unbecoming to righteousness while away from home, he will be separated unto varying degrees of justified
judgment. This work of separation by the word of God will start in the church and move out to the world. Just a note; the
earlier stages of judgment on any are for the sake of instruction. It isn't until the final stages that one stands in danger of
destruction. So prayer can make every difference in the world.
Now is the time to encourage repentance and preparation. Repentance is necessary that we might not be guilty and fall
under the weight of this powerful sword. Then preparation, so we will be held in a protective harbor of stability during
these difficult times. Remember however, that God's highest desire is to get the whole family to heaven. So, even in
judgment He will remember mercy. Further, He will be working toward answering our prayers on behalf of our loved ones
so not one will be lost.
In Conclusion
The Separator is coming. Prayer will not hold Him back. In His abundant mercy, He has tarried this long, but the wait is
over. He will not hold back any longer. The angel told me this is sure. We have passed the point of no return.
The Separator has by now come through the land twice and is about the make a third visit. This visit will prove to be the
most eruptive so far.
The next major separation that will occur is not the separation of the precious from the vile, but the impure from the pure.
This of course, deals specifically with His Church, and it will be meet with violent upheavals. For this reason, God will first
strengthen and stabilize the pure. We need to prepare for this through prayer and repentance.
Although the revealing and intense sifting of the impure will be painful to all of us at best, it will not however, be the end.
Some will, through this violent sifting, repent and return to the path purity. God will thus be greatly glorified through these
contrite vessels. So surround your loved ones with forgiving love, grace and prayer.
Since we know this, we must prepare. Our resistance to this reality won't make the Lord change His mind any more than
it did in the days of Noah. Heeding His message and doing as He commands according to His Word, enabling us to be
victorious in troubled times, is all we can do.
Up to this point, I have not even spoken of judgment, only the process leading up to judgment.
The Lord in His tender mercy makes His plans known to His own. He does this to enable us to have ample time to
prepare for oncoming difficulty.
As a student would wisely prepare for final exams, a soldier would suffer the rigors of boot camp to prepare for war or an
athlete would diligently workout to be ready for a competition, we must make haste to ready ourselves for the hours
ahead.
The church must begin to seek the Holy Spirit who is her teacher, with strong intensity. Seek to be taught the dynamic
and life-sustaining truths that anchor the soul in peace and wisdom. Study the Word with a zeal. Develop a healthy
prayer life full of faith and expectancy. Learn how to hear the Lord speak and follow His leading. Make prayer as much a
part of your life as eating.
Develop close relationships with Christians and get involved with your church. Make it a family and work toward building a
close-knit family unit. Establish your family in the fellowship of your local church as well as engaging in outreach
opportunities.
Let love be the motivating factor of your life and turn from all that displeases the Lord. God will protect those who walk in
His ways and in His presence, and nothing will be any means hurt you. Though there will seem to be trouble on every
side, you will know the divine cushion of love and strength that will hold you firm and restful.
There will be those who will have an ear to hear and begin preparation immediately. God will mightily use these people in
that hour to be a stabilizing factor in the body. They who have set themselves apart to the Lord are already being
prepared for a new and mighty awakening.
Now, front line leaders will begin to be brought forth by the Holy Spirit and will speak, as it were, with a bit in the mouth
under strong control of the Anointing. They will be graced with excellent wisdom and will be powerfully anointed, walking
in humble submission to the "Head".
In the spirit, I have already seen the emergence of these leaders. As early as 1991, they began making a mark in various
parts of the world. Lay people that have been prepared will, in a sense, be used to cushion the body during this very
difficult separation process. But they can't be expected to carry the whole load. It is important that all God's children
need to hear and respond. Thus, they too will see what great glory is in store instead of shuffling around in the ashes of
apathy.
- PREPARE -
CHAPTER 4
The Sword of Judgment

The angel said:
"Judgment is coming to the lovers of the world. Those unrepentant and cripplers of the children, fear."
This he said as he touched the housetops with his huge sword.
Unlike the angel of war, this rider conquers through judgment; His judgment is not war. The judgment this rider brings will
be described throughout this chapter.
In addition, he was depicted to me as carrying a sword. Thus, the Lord was through the angel further relating a two-fold
revelation to me. Number one - He was giving me the call of the watchmen. Ezekiel 33:2b-3 states it like this:
When I bring a sword upon a land and the people of the land take a man from among them and make him
their watchmen; if he sees the sword coming upon the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people.
(Amp.) (emphasis added)
When is the watchmen called? When he sees the sword coming upon the land. Then he is to blow the trumpet. Or in
today's vernacular, he is to cry the word of warning to the people - all the people. This is what each of the angels
commanded me to do; warn all people.
The second revelation I received by seeing the sword was that the judgment the angel was bringing was from the Lord,
and it would be fully brought to an ultimate conclusion, yielding to the coming of the red horse.
Further -
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin at us, what shall the
end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God. (1 Peter 4:17)
Everything that I will be sharing will be the "Household of God" first, to the world second. The Bible not only specifically
stipulates that it's God's way to deal with His own first then the world; but we see it in living color throughout His Word.
So let's see what He is saying to us today.
I will bring [the curse] forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into
the house of him who swears falsely by My name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house and shall
consume it, both its timber and its stones. (Zech. 5:4 Amp.)
That is exactly what was happening at the hand of this angel. Every house he touched received the sword of active
judgment. Judgment started at the head of the house and worked its way down to the least of the household. Whose
home qualified? Lovers of this world, liars, thieves, and cripplers of the children. It will not be enough to be born again
today. Those who say they love Jesus and are even cleansed by His blood, will come under the same judgment as the
world, if it's the world they are living for, and if their actions say it is the world they love.
In the last chapter, I spoke about the Separator, the sword of separation, and that it will be separating all the souls in the
world either into the Kingdom or judgment of various degrees. In this chapter, the point will be judgment and what to do
about it. We will however, be talking more specifically about the judgments of individuals as the "judgments of nations"
will be dealt with in a later chapter.
~Lovers of This World~
How can I emphasize strongly enough the need to come out of the world? The angel cried like a town crier,
"Babylon is falling! Come out from her my children. Take nothing with you only the clothes on your backs. A
judgment is coming at midnight and the hour is now 11:55 (p.m.) Don't mourn the loss. Only come away, come
out!"
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his
integrity before the wicked. Prov 25:26
He cried with such authority, such pleadings, such absolute understanding of the consequences for the disobedient.
Jesus Himself said so many times and in so many ways that if we loved the world, we hated God. Yet much of His
church still has a love affair going on with the world. The Lord's name is not going to be like a lifejacket we cling to while
we dip around in the ocean we call the world and expect it to save us. It won't! Jesus said it will be all or nothing.
First, we find in the scriptures He said the curse would fall on the house of the thief. Why? Because it puts that soul in
the category of greed, which is idolatry. When the heart is filled with greed, it is given to every evil work. One Bible
translation says, The love of money (greed) is the root of all evil. (I Tim. 6:10) When the saint doesn't pay tithes, he's
robbing God. (Mal. 3:9-10) When we have a family member in need and it's within our power to help, and we don't the
Bible says we are worse that a nonbeliever. (I Tim. 5:8) We are robbing God. If we don't care for the poor and needy, we
call upon ourselves a curse. Why? We're robbing God. If we steal five minutes a day in time from our boss, we are
stealing money. That's greed. This chapter however, is not on greed, it's on judgment. If it were on greed, I'd go into great
depth to show how much that spirit permeates the church.
If we would all simply seek God and ask Him to reveal to us how greed is being manifested in our own lives, He would
show us and help us to put it under our feet.
Secondly, the scripture says, "Those that swear falsely by My name." It's a mockery of all God holds dear to say I'm a
Christian while living for the world as though Christ's blood were in vain. The writer of Hebrews says that we are once
again putting Him to open shame. How precious the blood of Jesus is to the Father. God so honors it that heaven is
filling up with souls bought by it. Conversely, we dishonor it by using it to fight for everything from the protection of our
material goods to claiming a new house and neglect its power to enable us to live holy, loving, and God honoring lives.
We have seen such frivolity throughout Christ's body in this Laodicean Church Age that the world no longer has respect
for God. I hear Christians say, "Why doesn't God show Himself strong?" I say, "Why doesn't the Church show Him
strong by living for Him and not for themselves?" The Bible says the name of God is maligned and blasphemed among
the Gentiles because of us. (Rom. 2:24)
I was awakened one night to a vision and I heard a voice crying, "Church, stop sinning. You're killing the sinner." Why
can't we see what Paul say? "You are not your own, you were bought with a price." In seeing the great price Christ paid,
why don't we feel a need to honor His commitment to us by taking responsibility for our lives and living to bring Him
glory?
Why is it that we, as blood bought saints, desire the baseness of sin? How is it? How can it be? Do we really think that
the Lord will withhold His dealing against a people who have trampled the blood of His dear Son under foot in such an
irreverent way as His church has today?
It is true that the blood of the lamb saved Israel that night the death angel swept over Egypt, but may we be reminded
that only two men of that entire first generation made it into the promised land. The rest, all of whom had been protected
the first time, ended up strewn in the dessert dead, because of rebellion.
Church, precious souls are being lost because of our blatant lifestyles. The Lord would be unjust if He continued to
withhold His dealings with this rebellious generation when He has judged others. As a consequence, true repentance
resulting in contrition of heart and subsequent fruitfulness in one's life, is the only answer.
So God in sending the sword of judgment, removing his protection from even the saints "who are lovers of this world",
thus allowing heavy enemy attack. Some will die under it, others will turn to vile sin as that is where their hearts are.
Destruction will be the result. Some will lose families, others health, yet others perhaps millions of dollars, losses
brought on by bad decisions incurring judgment.
Hebrew scholar Michael Brown says the Hebrew text shows God taking full responsibility for His plagues and judgments.
No where in the original language does it leave room for us to think God arbitrarily lets Satan do his own thing just
because the Lord is displeased. As I saw the angel and he spoke, he had no difficulty letting me know the actions being
taken in these hours are directly orchestrated by God to bring judgment on the rebellious.
~Cripplers of the Children~
Whether it be:
1. Parents that are cripplers of their children through abuse, sexual, physical, or emotional.
2. Those in pornography, running child prostitutes.
3. Drug pushers, pushing drugs on children.
4. Those into some kind of occult worship that is destroying the lives of children.
5. Those involved in some form of work that was set up to help children, but in fact, are part of the mushrooming
problem lending to further devastate already traumatized children.
6. Those who are instrumental in the murdering of the unborn through abortion procedures, regardless of the role
they may play.
The Lord's sword of judgment is coming down. If you fit into any of the preceding categories and you do not repent, it
will come down on you.
Moms and Dads know what they are doing to their children. If there is misconduct, it's time to get help. If the responsible
parent doesn't deal with it, God will be forced to. Pornography that is made available to children or that leads to violation
of children because of the unbridled lust it excites, or child pornography - all of these lead to utter depravity to those who
indulge. As for the children, except for the intervention of God, they are destroyed for life by the violations of their little
persons You cannot molest the body of a child without also molesting their minds. The damage is permanent and leads
to multiplied problems affecting ever area of their human existence. Schools that are now using curriculum such as
"Mission Soar" which involves not only hypnotizing the children, but also teaching them "necromancy", supposed talking
to the dead, and other such destructive "New Age" materials, are coming under judgment.
How many minds are being blown right out of the heads of children and young people through drugs? Our newspapers
are full of the cataclysmic effect of drug abuse. It's no longer a secret about the horrors of the occult in America: Children
being used as sacrifices; youth being driven to suicide, in some instance leaving behind a good-bye letter containing the
lyrics of heavy metal rock music. It's a disgustingly sick picture, isn't it!
Still there is more. The courtrooms are handing children over to their abusers in the name of justice. The judge of the
bench is a man, not a machine, and the Lord knows if he has done all within his power to protect a child that needed
protection. He also knows if he was lax in his job, or if in fact, there was sick reasoning that led him to knowingly turn
that innocent child over to his/her violator. He too, will be judged accordingly
The list is endless, juvenile workers, foster care parents, C.P.S. workers. The Lord is blind to nothing. He sees all, and
He is going to lift Himself up on behalf of the innocent. Today is the day to turn from the sin that offends and be healed
before the Lord's judgment begins. In repentance, there is restoration and protection by His grace, so yield to Him today.
Oh, Church, that we might weep for the children. God's heart is breaking for the helpless innocent. Seek His face for the
power and wisdom to save the children.
In this hour of God's outpouring of revival, He is going to anoint the children with great power and wisdom far beyond their
years. He is going to restore the places laid waste by humanity's depraved acts against the children. It will be a child
who will set a captive free, pull back the raging storm, and calm the troubled sea. A child shall be a counselor and a
healer. Is there is anything too difficult for Jesus to do? The people will see, and they will marvel. Rejoice oh Zion! for the
children will once again dance in the land.
Even so, in judgment He will look with tender mercy on the righteous who are pure. While the pangs of judgment grip the
rebellious, Jesus will be nurturing a mighty and militant army to reek destruction on Satan's house and pour out one of
the greatest outpourings of love and miracles through His church that the world has ever seen.
~The Cycle of Judgment~
According to the scriptures, they are his chastisements. The Hebrew word for chastise means to train by disciples, as
one would train his son through spanking. The Word states:
Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and
chasten - discipline and instruct them. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal, and repent
- changing your mind and attitude. (Rev. 3:19 Amp.)
God's first dealings are always by His Word and His Spirit. He won't revert to the following unless one is in a settled
place of rebellion, unwilling to respond to the former. In the book of Leviticus, the 26th chapter, we get a good picture of
how He chastens. Next, He says if you won't hearken to Him, He will do the following:
1. He'll send sudden terror

2. He'll send sickness
3. He'll send financial loss.
4. Your enemies will rise up against you and win.
If you still won't repent, He will chastise you further:
1. He'll break your pride in your power.

2. He'll not answer your prayers.
3. He'll send no blessings.
4. You'll work for nothing.
5. Everything you touch will rot.
Third time around - if you still won't repent:
1. You'll have loss of children.

2. You'll have a loss of ability to work.
3. You'll experience pestilence.
4. You'll live under the yoke of your enemy.
5. You'll not have enough food to eat.
6. You'll face untimely death.
Some believe that since we are in the dispensation of grace, God will not deal in this manner today - at least not with His
church. Read the second and third chapters of Revelation, and you'll see that His punishments are just as severe. We
must understand that while our Heavenly Father is loving and merciful, He is also rigidly righteous, a holy God, who
unlike us, will not compromise who He is.
We see a profound but simple principle regarding the ways of God throughout the Word. The Lord will bring salvation to a
man, cleanse him with His blood, and begin the process of sanctification. Yet all the time, He'll leave the decision of
whom we will serve at any given moment up to us. If we continue to make the decision to serve Satan more than Jesus,
He will allow the aforementioned calamities to begin to work their process. Who is the direct author of these? Satan, of
course. So we are now beginning to reap the harvest of seeds planted to sin. The cycle will continue until one day Jesus
will say, "If that man still wants that life so bad, let it consume him."
In that very hour, the destructive forces of Satan are unleashed to lord over us to our utter destruction. In other words, we
chose our master, and Jesus let us have him. Up to that final point , all the trouble that came our way was designed to
bring us back to the Lord and into a place of safety. Once we cross over that line, the door of mercy is closed, and Satan
is allowed free access to devour.
By the sword of judgment, God is releasing all mankind into the above-mentioned process. Those who are truly His and
choose to walk in godly fear and pure holiness will be kept from judgment in a place of refuge. Those who don't fit in that
category will begin to experience the course of chastisement ascribed in Leviticus 26.
The Bible says today is the day the salvation. Let the healing hand of God's grace touch your home instead of the sword
of judgment. You have full say as to where you stand with the Lord. Gird yourself with strength by walking in purity and
see in the dynamics that can be yours in Christ through these difficult times.
To those who are pure, those who love the Lord and live a life of obedience to Him - His mercy is a covering standard of
protection. To those who love and serve people, bringing honor to the Lord, He is a hiding place from the storm. The Bible
says His saintly ones are like precious jewels in the crown of their God, which He wears like a zealous Father.
God does not delight in the suffering of humanity. These warnings are designed to stir the readers into evaluating their
lives. We can turn judgment into mercy and blessing if we will alter or forsake anything not agreeing with God's Word,
and instead embrace God's way. So let us encourage one another in the Lord, draw close to Him and to one another,
that we may be held secure and at peace in His name in troubled times.

CHAPTER FIVE
The Ruin of The brotherhood

The angel of the white horse cried out:
"The sword of separation is coming upon the land. Separation and judgment coming to those lovers of the
world."
Then I broke into pieces my other staff, Bands or Union, indicating that I was annulling the brotherhood.
(Zechariah 11:14 Amp.)
Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. And a
man's foes will be they of his own household. (Matthew 10:34,36 Amp.)
America is in transition. Of the varied and many elements of that transition, the following is one of the most crucial
components. to obtain the highest impact, might I suggest that the reader visualize himself as a part of this scenario as
it is being played out. Let me share the following as I saw it in vision form.
We are among about a hundred or so adults, gathered together in a school cafeteria. We are students engaged in a sort
of council meeting, designed to resolve a very serious problem that has arisen. Someone has broken into a member's
locker and stolen some of his belongings.
In the heat of this discussion, someone rises up and declares: "Maybe Duane is responsible, perhaps he was trying to
get revenge for the break-in of his own locker!"
In response to this accusation, Duane immediately stands to refute his accuser by declaring, "I wouldn't do that to
someone else. You know, it's been really hard! Oh, I know I have acted tough, but it's been painful dealing with the break-
in of my locker."
The mediating teacher then stands, and looking around replies, "I want someone to respond to Duane." We are all sitting
up, and I raise my hand. My thoughts are that we must draw this to a close, quit entertaining speeches of self-defense
and blame, and address the real issue. Hence, I am chose to speak. You my captive audience are all listening, but
somewhat lacking in real resolve. Each one is sitting in a semi-relaxed fashion next to a mate and/or friend. Further, you
were all thinking that perhaps this could go on all night so, we might as well just relax.
I then stand and declare: "America is in transition!"
Thinking about the very situation at hand, a little perturbed by its reality, and taken a little off guard, you all laugh saying,
"yeah, tell us about it!"
Paying no attention to the sarcasm of my audience, I raise my voice above the crowd and state again, "Now listen to me
- America is in transition! This is a time when our ideological myth is being revealed for what it is - a myth!" While
speaking, I am wondering what the ramifications of such a revelation might be. Then I determine that regardless, we have
to take a chance and deal with the truth!
Feeling a little timorous, I proceed, "What is the myth? My brother is my loyal and impervious friend. When put to the
test, he will protect me.
"The truth, however, is just the opposite! And each one of us is guilty. When the enemy attacks - and my brother has to
fight for my life - although I think he's covering my back against intruders, if it might cost him his life, he is gone! But then
the same is true in reverse. If it might cost my life to protect my brother, I'm gone, and my brother will find himself alone
and unprotected!
"In the pinch, it is every man for himself, and no man is going to protect his brother. Do you hear me? Put in the press of
reality, we will transgress our brother and protect ourselves.
"The cruel, unrelenting reality of this truth is, it's no longer, you are my friend, and I will protect your back while you
protect mine. Instead, I am for me. Thus, you my friend have become my enemy!"
I pause, looking around the room. As one can imagine, the response of those of you receiving my words is one of
intensity. It is as though a protective isolation is being engineered by the individual members of my captive audience. By
the way, each one is by now sitting erect. Seeing that these walls of isolation have been constructed, I continue.
"Do you see what we have done? We have now thrown away the ideological myth, which implies I am for my brother, and
he is for me, since we know that is all it is, a myth!
"So we tell ourselves that in the press we'll fend for our brothers rather than for ourselves. And because we have never
been called upon to do it, we believe the myth! It sounds good doesn't it! It feels good; it feels safe! The only problem is -
It is not true!"
By now the people are squirming. They have become noticeably uncomfortable because the truth is truly hitting home.
For this reason, individuals are feeling alone and vulnerable. Furthermore, they find themselves almost involuntarily
identifying with Duane.
I chide my audience. "I don't know about you," turning to Duane I continue, "but, Duane, I feel your pain. You feel like
you've been raped. You feel isolated, unprotected and alone. You thought your brother was going to look out for you. You
found out too late that your faith was in a myth."
Then I again look around and say, "What about the rest of you? Can you feel Duane's pain?"
As though releasing a breath of relief, all in the cafeteria shout, "Yeah, yeah, I can feel his pain. I can identify with you,
Duane!"
I then reply, "That's right. Every one of us is feeling very isolated and feeling the sting of that isolation. The only potential
of our new reality remains then, that in my isolation, I too am not protected. What happened to one can happen to me,
and probably will!
"Suddenly everything has changed. We are no longer judging Duane, but instead, identifying with him. Do you feel it? He
thought he was protected by his friend, but he found out he was alone. In the press, his friend turns out, through betrayal,
to be his enemy. The myth is laid bare! I speak for all of us. I have now found out what has been true all along. So I
identify. I feel Duane's pain. His feelings are now my own. Suddenly, I come to grips with the fact that his reality could be
my own. The terrifying truth is, it could be!
"So now, I look at my neighbor - my brother - with the stark reality swimming in my mind, that he is not my friend unto
death. In the press, he is going to protect himself and not me. But I look again and I see that in the same press, I will
protect myself, not my friend."
I then turn to Duane and say, "Boy, Duane, now we can all feel what you must have felt. For you see, we are now no
longer part of the untouchable crowd with you on the outside. Now we, too are alone, each and every one, outside the
city gate and unprotected.
I once again turn back to the audience and begin, "My dear America, I tell you now, this is our only hope. We must
determine now, that in the press, it is not myself I am going to protect - even if it means my life - I will protect my brother!
I will do this, knowing full well that my brother probably will not return the honor.
"When I see my brother in trouble, I will rush to stand between him and his assailant in order to protect him. Now his
attacker has become our assailant. I do this, knowing all along that my brother who is now behind me, will desert me,
thus becoming my enemy, costing me my life through betrayal in the fray!
"Knowing this scenario, the question remains - will we be our brother's keeper? If we refuse, there is no hope for America!
Furthermore, while we identify with Duane, we can't heal his wound! Neither can ours be healed should we be wounded in
the fray! Without the brotherhood that once made this country great, there is no United States of America, only states in
America, hence no strength, no valor, no hope...."
Once again, I saw this in a lengthy vision. A very startling reality. It was given to further clarify the ultimate effect of a
nation which has breached the union under God in whom it was established. Breaching that union, rejecting His
Sovereignty, we become a nation without a brotherhood. Without a brotherhood, we are a nation of egocentric entities
without regard one for another. Each is out for himself. When this reaches its ultimate conclusion, the love of man is
eradicated for the sake of the love of personal power. The hub of the wheel of unity shattered, the wheel of united power
ceases to cycle and man is alone, vulnerable, and ultimately subdued.
The Angel of the Lord said the Sword of Separation is coming. The Prophet Zechariah said in God's stead:
Then I broke into pieces my other staff, Bands or Union indicating that I was annulling the brotherhood.
(Zech. 11:14 Amp.)
NEED I SAY MORE!
- AMERICA, PREPARE! -
CHAPTER SIX
UNITED WE STAND
The next issue dealt with by the angel was the unity coming to the body. The Lord says:
I took two shepherd's staffs, the one I called Beauty or Grace, the other I called Bands or Union; and I fed
and shepherded the flock. (Zech. 11:7 Amp.)
We have talked about the jealousy of God that will bring forth purity and the coming of the Sword of Separation and its
resulting influence. Also in a previous chapter, we talked about the Sword of Judgment - whom it will fall upon and why.
Finally, in the last chapter we spoke about the ruin of the brotherhood. In this chapter, we are going to breathe a breath of
fresh air, as we look at a wonderful thing Jesus is going to do in the midst of all the seeming chaos.
The prophet picked up the staff of Union and with it shepherded the flock. It's a picture of what the Chief Shepherd is
about to do. Somewhere in the middle of the process of separation will come a new anointing to the body which will bring
forth a growing "unity".
How can the human mouth be given the excellent speech needed to pour fourth the understanding of this awesome and
wonderful thing Jesus will do! Church, we have never seen "unity" such as what is coming to us. Nor have we ever known
the magnificence that will result from this ministry of the Holy Spirit among His people.
The Bible teaches:
...[He Himself appointed and gave men to us,] some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some
pastors and teachers, His intention was the perfecting and full equipping of the saints, that they should do
the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body. That it might develop until we attain oneness in
the faith and the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might
arrive] at really mature manhood. (Eph. 4:11-13 Amp.)
This gives us a picture of where we headed and how man will work with the Holy Spirit to bring it about. The angel said:
There will be specially anointed prophets that will teach the body truths from the Word that have been held
in reserve for us today. These prophets will have been taken behind the veil to receive these powerful truths
that they might impart them to the body. They will not be teachers under a temporary mantel of the
prophet. They will be prophets - given the ability to teach and the power to impart these hidden truths to
the body according to I John 2:27.
They will be teaching about unity; teachings on forgiveness will also be released. These teachings will be so powerfully
anointed that whole congregations could be set free from bitterness in a single night. Being freed from bitterness will
enable multitudes to immediately be released to flow into the stream of unity the Lord will be opening up. This won't
happen on an international scale over night, however. It will be a process like the tide coming in at night - it will start
small and grow. There will be beautiful teachings on humility, anointed to break the yoke of pride, thereby ushering a
body into new streams of unity. Other such teachings designed to break strongholds and usher in unity will be released.
A result of these teachings, a deeper sense of love and commitment will begin to emerge in the body at large. A
brotherhood - the Greek word "Koinonia" comes to mind - and intimate fellowship of the saints will result. A generous and
sharing spirit will permeate the heart of the body. Christ's church will begin to turn from materialism to realism and
compassion for the needs of others.
With the perfecting of her heart through repentance, there will begin to be a true equipping of the saints - an equipping
with grace, power, and spiritual gifts. It will be as though, at last, the saints will begin to fill their intended places. No one
will be breaking rank, each will be doing what they were called to do.
~The Call of Destiny~
And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundation of [buildings that have laid waste
for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. (Is.
58:12 Amp.)... and renew the ruined cities, the devastation's of many generations. (Is. 61:4B Amp.)
People throughout the Kingdom of God are going to arise to fill their rightful place. Actually, many will rise up to fill in the
gap left for many generations. For instance, perhaps up to three or four generations ago, your family was a family of
ministers. Then they fell away from the faith, leaving no one for three or four generations to enter the ministry, although
that mantel had never been removed from your family. It will be this generation that will take up the call and fill the mantel
handed down from the three or four generations left desolate. This generation now responding will fulfill more ministry and
bear more fruit than the three or four desolate generations would have done all put together.
All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place from which the rivers come, to there and
from there they return again. Eccl. 1:7
Perhaps there was once great wealth in your family that was lost when past generations turned from the faith. It could be
that as you pick up the banner for the sake of the Kingdom, God will move on your behalf, giving you plans, inventions, or
investments that will restore all the lost wealth, thus enabling you to pour more money into the work of the Lord than the
combined generations that laid desolate would have done.
As you study Genesis chapter 49, you'll see that every tribe of Israel had a generational purpose. That law is true of every
family line on planet earth. I don't care where you come form, what your background is, or what race you are, everyone
was created for a reason. It will be this generation of Christians that will fulfill God's purpose for your family line.
This, in turn, will be the fulfillment of the body doing the work of the ministry toward the building up of Christ's body. That
is, saints rising up to take their ordained positions within the body and in Christ.
No more will the Baptist be coming out against the Pentecostal and the Pentecostal breaking out against the
Charismatic, and so on. This denominational prejudice will be brought to an end as the church simply begins to do what
is needful - building up instead of tearing down, loving instead of criticizing, serving instead of lording beliefs over one
another. The hearts of today's saint will be changed to a soft, fleshy heart that Jesus can love His world through. All of
the sticks and stones of war will be laid at the Lord's feet. In their place, we'll pick up the Sword of the Spirit and fight the
enemy. There will be nothing but royal priests walking in profound love, as they move into the maturity of Christ.
The ministry gifts ascribed in verse eleven will all be a part of what the Holy Spirit is doing. Each will either become a
team player or no longer be on the team. Everyone will be doing what they're called to do rather than what they thought
they had to do to build their individual kingdoms. So, God will lead His whole body step by step moving into divine
harmony, moving fluidly over the earth to awaken this desperately lost generation.
As we begin to move into that oneness of faith, our understanding of the Son of God will greatly increase. The world will
find Him in reality flowing through His body, as He is only in ideal now. By this time, you'll hardly be able to tell a
"general" from a "private". Liquid love will be exuding from the faces and hands of His church in healing, covering the
earth with His glory and power.
Phenomena will begin to take place. The church will seem to have fallen so much in love with Jesus that He is all she will
see. The more her love for Him grows, the more the Holy Spirit will be pulling her into unity. Every desire of her heart will
be only to give Him glory - to bring to His wonderful name. It will be a divine conquest of the earth by the Son through His
church. Heaven and earth will be like a divine competition (not a competition of man) to see how His name can be
magnified in the earth today more than yesterday. Heart-throbbing love with abound for Jesus and for mankind.
~The Church: The Third Witness~
The Bible says Jesus judged sin in the flesh and that He sent the Holy Spirit to judge sin on the earth. Because in His
law He ordained that everything be judged by the mouths of two or three witnesses, God must have His third witness. His
first witness is Christ, the second is His Word, and the third will be His church. By the awesome display of holiness and
power, she, by the power of His Holy Spirit, will be His third witness. That's one of the ways we are told we will judge the
nations with Jesus. What an awesome display of majesty it will be. But wait a minute! Come down off the ceiling for a
while. We are told in the book of Joel of another unity that is coming. It reads:
Before them the peoples are in anguish, all faces become pale. They run like mighty men, the climb the
wall like men of war, they march every one [straight ahead] on his ways, and they do not break there ranks.
Neither does one thrust upon another, they walk every one in his path; and they burst through and upon
the weapons, yet they are not wounded and do not change their course. (Joel 2:6-8 Amp.)
The satanic kingdom will be seen in an unprecedented unity as well. This will magnify Satan's power, and all this will be
hurled at the souls of men. His vengeance will be heaped upon the church. Great darkness will cover the earth. He will be
breathing out his insidious threats against God's redeemed. However, by now she will no longer be defiled - but radiant.
She will be powerful and move into full authority. So to those who are pure, he will be like a bully putting on a show, but
then he will quickly be put under their feet.
... for the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His beautiful and
majestic horse in battle. (v. 5) - And they shall be like the mighty men treading down their enemies in the
mire of the streets in the battle; and they shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the oppressor's
riding on horses shall be confounded and put to shame. (Zech. 10:3b & 5 Amp.)
God is making a nation of the most beautiful and powerful war-horses ever seen on planet earth. This is His global
church. She will be undefeatable, because it says the Lord of hosts has visited His flock - from sheep to dangerous war-
horses. In that hour, though Satan's breath will be as a dragon's fire, it will have no power over God's great and holy
church. Signs, wonders and outstanding healings will be in the hands of this military entity called the church. As one
man, she will go forth setting the captives free in the power of her Lord!
The biggest promoter of this awesome revival seemed to be secular media news - TV, radio, newspaper, and magazine
publications. They would travel the world over to see and film the great events of God's outpouring.
I saw a great catastrophe the likes of a hurricane coming in off the ocean. It was one that would have taken the lives of
hundreds of people. Standing on the shore was a chain of saints linked hand in hand in prayer standing against this gale.
Suddenly, their prayers prevailed, and the hurricane disappeared. News reporters were standing behind them, gusts of
wind and rain blowing against them and their cameras. All the time it seemed they were rooting for this prayer team.
When the gale suddenly broke, it went on television coverage around the world as it was one more awesome thing this
God of the Christians had done.
I saw men, women and children coming up over hill and dale with their hands lifted high to Jesus in worship. The church
had moved into dimensions of worship orchestrated only by heaven. So high was the soul lifted to God, that the very
gates of the eternal heavens opened and joined in the symphony of praise to our Lord Jesus. Never has His glorious
name been so magnified among them.
~Children in Glory~
I saw miracles performed with inanimate objects like Moses' staff which was turned to a serpent then back to a staff.
Only these miracles were done by very ordinary people who loved Jesus and wanted to win a couple of kids away from
Satanism to the Lordship of Jesus. These kinds of things were happening all over the world. A sign here, a wonder there.
God was moving everywhere.
I saw events such as a heavy metal rock group in a huge outdoor concert when suddenly one or two teens were
transported to their stage by the Holy Spirit, like Philip being transported to Gaza. Because of the awesomeness of the
manner in which they appeared and the anointing to convict the soul that rested on them, the group and much of their
audience were saved on the spot. Just when they would have given an altar call for Satan, instead the saints had
preached and given an altar call for Jesus.
Families will be healed and saved. Entire families of aunts, uncles, granddads, grandmothers, and cousins will be saved
one after the other. World evangelism will be in full swing.
Children will preach the good news to street gangs and lepers will be healed, the crippled will walk and the blind will see.
Demons will scream at the sound of one little child's voice. Whole schools will be turned to Jesus.
Because of this, Satan will begin a move to engineer the breakdown of what we call the public school and develop in its
place smaller private schools given to grants and the like. If he can do this, humanism and witchcraft training will be
much more intense. Just as importantly, there won't be the masses of children that can be reached in a day for revival.
So he would win on not just a few different fronts.
Scores of toddlers, children and young people will astound the world with amazing feats that they will do in the name of
Jesus.
~Jews and Gentile - One~
We will begin to see the Jewish Christian and the Gentile Christian become one. That wall of separation is coming down.
To enhance this, Jesus will be saving Jewish Rabbis in unprecedented numbers. In turn, they will be lifted up as bright
stars in the body to understand and teach important truths out of the Word which only they will know because of the
uniqueness of their Jewish heritage. This will add to the new complexion coming over the church. I saw large groups of
Jews being saved in coffee-house-type ministries. There will be word-wide outbreaks of persecution against the church
and the Jew (unsaved Jew). this will act as a press you might say, to melt us together in a sympathy that will result in
the salvation of untold number of Jews.
Yet, strangely enough at least for a season, anti-Semitism will mount in congregations of the redeemed. But, I believe it
is only for a time. As the oil of unity continues to be poured out upon the church, anti-Semitism will begin to wash out
with the outgoing tide. As persecution against the church and the Jew escalates from the world, it will press us together,
resulting in a major evangelism of souls among the Jews. (I might also add that it will expedite an increased migration to
Israel along with taking the gospel back to the nation.)
As the scripture says, "And her walls will be salvation and her gates will be praise!"
Prayer, last but not least, the most foundational element of every move of God will be unparalleled - Prayer. And I will
pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and supplication (Zech. 12:10)
For as soon as Zion was in labor, she brought forth her children. (Is. 66:8 Amp.) The church will be bowed down together,
united in prayer. She will give birth to and fuel this great thrust of the Almighty on her knees. While this is already
starting, it will seem as though we moved from one to ten thousand in a day. One nation of Christians after another will
bow down in travailing and prevailing prayer to make this a global sweep of God's Spirit.* As the Spirit brooded over the
earth during its creation, He will once again be brooding over the earth through the church in prayer. He will, through her
loins, be birthing the greatest move of God ever to visit this planet. She will be as a mighty fortress protecting the birth of
the "desire" of generations. No demon force will be able to thwart what she has born. It will grow, exploding into higher
dimensions than our minds can now fathom. It will be the climax of the ages, Christ moving though His church in
majestic glory and power to reach the unreachable of the earth. Prayer will be the fuel that will send this revival fire
soaring until it's power saturates the earth. Prayer will birth it and prayer will keep it until God's purpose is complete. As
we look forward to this great awakening, let us not forget that the worst and the best are yet to come.

CHAPTER SEVEN
STRATEGY FOR WAR

The angel further expressed to me that God was going to release a strategy for war from behind the veil. The
counsel that will be given will concern two areas: 1) spiritual warfare, and 2) divine war on governmental
systems
Vital information, which is now being held in reserve, will be released through a select group of people. Most of those that
will be given the information and direction for this hour will be prophets. These are men and women held, you might say,
behind the starting line like fine-tuned thoroughbred horses, awaiting the opportunity to take on the hurdles that mark
their paths on behalf of Christ's calling. Though they have been serving for years, as Joseph did in prison, they are about
to be brought to the forefront and released as spiritual eyes for the body, and eventually for the world.
A wise man scales the city walls of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust - Prov. 21:22
So the apostles and prophets (not one used in the gift of prophecy, but one who stands in the office of the prophet), will
be the major vessels through which the Lord will be giving direction in this coming hour - not discounting the leading by
his inner witness and the Word to the individual believer. It will be in effect, an added dimension. Whereas, in the past
couple of decades or so the teachers have been the front line faces, now emphasis will be placed on these new prophets,
and they will in effect be taking the place of the teaching ministry in importance. This is needful because of the peculiar
end-time ministry ahead.
It will be so very important for every member of the body to rise up and fulfill their call today - not trying to fulfill another
man's call but their own. I sense this need will be true more than at any other time in history. Being in our God ordained
place for this great harvest, will release us to ministry potential far exceeding what any of us can really fathom.
I also want to emphasize here that although the teachings will be new, they will be out of the Word. Anyone rightly
dividing the Word will be at perfect peace with its origin and purity.
We have talked now about the jealousy of God, the Sword of Separation and the Sword of Judgment that is coming. In
the last chapter, we talked about the sweet mantel of unity that is coming as well as some strategic teachings that will
soon be released. In this chapter, we will endeavor to talk some more on the campaign being designed by the Captain of
the Host for war.
The angel's statement went according to this, "Strategy coming from behind the veil. Strategy for war,
spiritual warfare first, then war on governmental systems. The teachings will be given to a selected number -
specifically anointed to bring them to the body. "Then he said, "Tell the people to heed the teachers for their
counsel is sure."
~A Vision of the Church~
On January 25, 1990, I was given a rather extensive vision in full color. I'll be sharing parts of it throughout this book as it
concerns many areas of interest to the church. Throughout this vision, I spoke with an angel. Although I didn't see him in
this particular vision, he communicated to me in an audible voice. The part I'm going to share now was one of the last
parts of the vision. It so beautifully depicts what I'm trying to communicate that I'd like to share it here.
I saw a great, thick cloud, hovering over the earth. So thick and massive was it and so black, that it made the
earth look totally dark. The angel told me to call for the church. So I did. "Church, come. Arise and fight the
great darkness." As I said this, I saw a most incredible light slowly fly in the direction of this great, dark cloud.
As this cloud of light approached the great darkness, it formed a sort of wall in front of it. I saw it begin to
push this cloud of darkness back with much intensity of purpose - it was relentless. Although the dark cloud
fought with all its might to hold its ground, it was no match for the standard of light that opposed it. The light
pushed and pushed and was making such great headway. I thought it would fight until the dense darkness
was totally defeated and gone. However, suddenly the voice from heaven spoke to the light and said, "It is
enough now. Go, claim the harvest."
Immediately, this hand of light, as it were, stood in front of the cloud of darkness, holding it in place as though
someone were holding the lid open to a breadbox. Simultaneously, the cloud of light slipped down, as
though through an invisible tunnel under the belly of this mass of darkness, and began to fill the whole earth
with light. I saw what seemed to be multiplied millions of souls accept Jesus as their Saviour and Lord. What
an awesome awakening.
There was virtually nothing the black cloud could do about it.
When the entire world was saturated with light, I saw two majestic thrones descend from heaven. One was
the throne of the Son of God. The other was the throne made ready for his bride. The angel then told me to
call the church home. So I cried "Church, the King awaits you. Arise now and go home. " Just then, I saw the
now greatly increased cloud of light, heavy with the souls of the harvest, begin to move from the earth
towards heaven. As it did, it became brilliant. It turned to fill the second of the two thrones, that it might take
its rightful place by the King. I watched until this cloud of light took on the shape of a beautiful bride,
awesomely adorned in her wedding gown. Its train was long and flowing. She turned and was seated by her
husband. The vision then came to an end.
This incredible vision is a perfect depiction of the spiritual warfare we are about to embark upon as the army of the Great
King. We have been given much understanding in recent years about spiritual warfare. Yet, we have only touched the
surface, the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. But along with knowledge for such an understanding, there must also be
greater anointing. One without the other could have rather serious consequences. However, the body has not been in a
place where the Lord could afford to release the kind of anointing it will take to do what must be done.
Now, thanks be to God, He is preparing us for bigger horizons. There is coming a new strategy for warfare. I saw the
church rise up as a standard and push the black cloud back. This will come to pass through the new strategy and unity
with the resulting anointing working mighty wonders. We will see the effects of this in unity of the following ways.
Long-standing promises will finally be broken loose. Strongholds that seemed invincible will be demolished. Wisdom will
be given and children will be freed. Husbands and wives will be liberated. Businesses will explode into higher levels of
prosperity just in time for this dynamic global evangelistic thrust.
Bondages in governments will be temporarily broken. Deceptions in media will be blatantly revealed. All that opposes
truth will seemingly be a toothless lion for a season.
~Strategy Against the World System~

The Lord will release information to the body to enable us to effectively pray regarding governments of this world and to
move in the natural against policies hindering his coming mega revival.
Let me give some scriptural examples. Esther was given simple, but profound wisdom on how to handle the king so as to
overturn Haman's plot against her people, subsequently saving the Jewish nation. Three days of national fasting provided
the right spiritual climate for her to hear from God and be used to bring salvation to her people. Daniel was another of
God's secret-service men in government, as were his three friends. It was no accident that they were used to place God's
name above all other gods of the earth in a place of worship. By doing this, Israel had the freedom to continue to worship
Jehovah unhindered. Only the annals of heaven would open the door of understanding of how truly strategic their
placements were, not to mention how much affect their lives had on the overall spiritual welfare of Israel.
Joseph was another man of God's plans. He was given a gift of exceeding great wisdom to keep not one, but two nations
alive during a terrible famine.
Let us not fail to mention Moses. God used his understanding of the Egyptian monarchy, and his intimacy with Jehovah
(knowing and understanding his ways), to bring Egypt to its knees that Israel might go free.
Just as these men and women were used, men and women are going to be maneuvered about by the Spirit of the Living
God to accomplish feats on behalf of righteousness and the church, in the nations around the world. Are you ready?
There will be many "Josephs" raised up to intervene in government affairs world wide. These people won't have to push
and shove, as the Lord will open their doors. Just the same, there will be a few anointed as Moses was, to bring nations
to their knees on behalf of the Christian or the Jew at crucial times. These incidents will take place in the latter times.
The time of God dealing with governments will be dealt with in another chapter, so I won't go into that on a large scale
now. However, things such as changing major laws, bringing certain government affairs to accountability, and other
scrutinies of that nature will be the seedling of things to come.
Are you ready to hear the truths that will be made known before it's over? Are you ready to be used to make needed
changes? What are you waiting for?

CHAPTER EIGHT
SAFETY IN TREACHEROUS TIMES

Tell my people, "Heed the teacher, for their counsel is sure and will provide safety in treacherous times." The
angel made this statement a few times while addressing me.
God has some wonderful and glorious events awaiting His church - spiritual realities that would marvel even the most
astute: miracles which doctors can't analyze; limbs growing out where none existed so that a body can be made whole.
In addition, plagues and diseases for which there are no cures will be healed in response to the spontaneous prayer of
the likes of three-year olds. There will be people raised from the dead; not to mention signs and wonders with the
elements of nature, awe-inspiring things that the world may know that the Lord, He is God! We are also going to be
entering into what the angel called "treacherous times". Paul wrote to Timothy of this: But understand this, that in the
last days will come perilous times of great stress and trouble." (2 Tim. 3:1)
~Outbreak Against the Family~

Although I believe we are going to experience about three-and-a-half years of glory, we will find toward the end of that
time that we will begin to enter a stage of ever-increasing troubles, a time of great perplexity, stress, confusion, even
anguish.
Satan alas, decreed an all-out attack against the family. When it's released, it will be like floodwaters bursting through
the living room window. Nothing is sacred to him. He will attack children and parents alike with sickness,
misunderstandings, and will cause family breaches in any way he can. Spouses will be tempted toward unfaithfulness as
never before. Virtual hate will rise up and you won't know why.
The Lord told me that children from as young as two and two-and-a-half are going to receive non-threatening visitations
from demons. They will teach these toddlers to work with them and eventually how to become possessed by them. Being
born again will not be enough security against this. It will take living under the protection of the blood of Jesus through
lives of purity, holiness and prayer. You must know what your children are watching. Sit down and explain to them that
those characters on cartoons are really demonic and if one of those things tries to make friends with them, to rebuke it in
Jesus' name and come and tell you. It's all-out war!
If this ever happens to your family, get on your knees until the Lord reveals to you where you have given Satan a foothold.
Then repent and get back under the protection of the blood.
It isn't Gods will for any of His children to feel the press of those times. He would rather that our relationship with Him be
so solid that we would walk in the strength of His peace and joy as well as His perfect provision. There will be those of
the body who will have wisely developed their relationship with the Lord and will walk in that which the Word calls "the
rest". Jesus repeated "fear not" many times throughout His time of earthly ministry. He knows the heart is so fearful. He
yearns for His church to be wise and to be prepared by getting to know their Lord so they don't have to know fear. If we
truly walk in the secret place of the Most High, we will walk in peace and strength no matter what is happening around
us. I might add here that Jesus told me that the reason He is sending revival is as follows; In revival the mind, heart
and soul are freed from fear and filled with faith. So, I am sending revival to My church for the preservation of
My church in a time of persecution."
~God's Best in Troubled Times~
God's best is perfect provision in times of great lack - in famine, perfect provision of food; in national crises, perfect
provision of safety; in great darkness, perfect provision of light and wisdom; in disaster, perfect provision of protection.
The Lord always desires to give perfect care to His own. The appropriation of this provision will be dependent on faith, that
faith which grows because of a relationship with the Lord.
In the world, there will be many disasters, one right after another - personal calamities, national and international
droughts of an unprecedented nature, natural catastrophes, and economic and social collapse. These are just the
beginning. There will be plagues for which there will be no cure found, wars on every front. This avalanche of trouble does
not exclude America or Canada! But God wants His church to have provision, supply enough for the church and for those
in need of the people who are not part of the body. If the church is prepared, this time of "great trouble" will also provide
to be a time of great harvest.
~Strategy in Troubled Times~
One of the areas that the church will find abundantly supplied is the area of "divine counsel". When times get desperate,
we find people become teachable. When Jesus sees a listening ear, He gladly releases all the counsel, insight, and
direction a soul needs. God is going to use this time of unparalleled trouble to make a difference between His true church
and the world, just as the Bible said He made a difference between Israel and Egypt. It will also be a time of refining and
purging within the Body of Christ. Third, as I said earlier, the supply to the world will be raised up from within the church.
This will open doors for the evangelization the great revival alone failed to open.
Although the church will be moved into a dimension of faith not known before, during the revival God will neither
manipulate nor control people. Even though we will walk in creative power, so far as our faith is concerned, we won't be
given the power to make someone want Jesus. Consequently, in order to get their attention, He will have to send trouble
running after the stubborn of heart. By that time, the church will be demonstrating the true Christ in a manner such as the
world has never seen. As a result, the harvest will continue to grow, for many weary hearts will want to find rest and
safety in Him at that time. Daniel best addressed the issues of these times:
And such as violate the covenant he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries; but the people who know their
God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm, and do great exploits [for God]. And they who are
wise and understanding among the people shall instruct many and make them understand, though some
[of them and their followers] shall fall by the sword and by flame by captivity and plunder, for many days.
Now when they fall, they shall receive a little help. Many shall join themselves to them with flatteries and
hypocrisies. And some of those who are wise, prudent and understanding shall be weakened and fall; [thus
then the insincere among the people will lose courage and become deserters. It will be a test] to refine, to
purify and to make those among [God's people] white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the
time [God] appointed. (Daniel 11:32-35 Amp.) (emphasis added)
Although this was distinctly given as a divine warning to the Jew to equip them for national crises, it speaks clearly to us
today. This little passage of scripture says everything I could hope to say in this chapter. Let's get a real good look at
what it is saying. "Such as violate the covenant". These are non-Christians. The Lord through Jesus Christ set forth a
covenant that was open to all the world that they might enter. He said, "I would that none should perish," and He gave
His only begotten Son that all might be saved. But those who refuse His atoning death as a means to salvation, are
"violators of the covenant". Of these, it says,"...he will pervert and seduce with flatteries."
~Flatteries of a Nation~
We saw an entire nation run after Adolf Hitler. Demon possessed and frequently demonstrating strong straits of insanity,
he shouldn't have been given a second glance, let alone national following. His message was a blatant perversion of truth,
full of double meanings and confusion. A person with little insight should have been able to see the sort of consequences
attached with adopting the message and the man. Yet, a nation ran after him. Why? Because he seduced them with
flatteries. He appealed to their broken national pride. He gave them something in which to place their hope, since up to
that time they had been reduced to a hopeless people. So it was a seduction, waged to lure them through fear and pride.
Once captivated by this revolutionary, although it was soon proven that the new condition was worse than the first, it took
decades before the full impact of the reality of their national error would hit home with them. Why? Perversion of truth had
blinded the heart, truly veiled it from seeing what was obvious. The Bible says hearts are willingly deceived. What created
this willingness? It was fear that opened the door to the seduction of nations. Fear of what you say? To them, it was fear
of "lack". As a nation, they were nearing economic and social collapse. There were no jobs and little food. The rich were
people of mega-wealth caliber while the majority were very poor.
The nation hung in the balance. The first with a viable alternative won the booty. He won the prize, but the world lost and
so did the church. The price of Hitler's victory may never be fully calculated. I'm not sure we would want to know if we
could calculate it. The grandest deception of all was when more and more Soviets bought the lie, the end of which took
the lives of babies, innocent children, moms and dads, grandfathers and grandmothers - millions of Jews and Christians.
It was a lie that spread like cancer throughout the republic. How? Through fear and flatteries.
That is Satan's tactic on every scale, large and small. He doesn't care if he wins one in this way or the whole nation. His
efforts remain just as intense. All he cares about is winning souls. Great effort is made to trap you by means of fear.
Then he'll lure you to the depths of his lordship by flatteries, exciting the pride and giving new hope. It's false hope, but
you won't know it until it's too late.
This same process is happening before our eyes today. We are rubbing elbows with our enemy, the USSR. The Soviet
government has not changed the framework of their system or their dreams for the future at all. They still have one goal in
mind: "world domination". while they flatter with the tongue, the tool of fear which they hold in their hand is their military
strength. We all know they have the ability to push the "red button", so in fear we seek to make friends with the untamed
leopard as he holds out his paw. We foolishly think he wants to make friends, forgetting that at the end of that paw are
claws. At the other end are teeth that kill. Since when can a leopard change its spots? If he can, then the Soviet
government is seeking only peace and they have embraced democracy. I will, however, show you in a later chapter that
this Soviet leopard is staying true to form and we, who are being flattered today, will be its next victim.
~Antidote for Deception~
My son, eat honey, because it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Prov.
24:13 (Amp.)
Just as we have seen this "seduction by flatteries" from the Soviet government, we will see it take in a new and more
stunning complexion. It will encompass a global "deception" and bring what are now thousands of fractured and diverse
little satellite groups together into one big composite called "A New World". If you're not a "New World" man, you had
better be born again because you may be killed. While I'm not saying that every traitor will be exterminated, that will be a
common way of handling it. It's obvious that Christians will be a prime target as well. Yet God will manifest His greatness
as He did in Babylon with awesome supernatural deliverances.
Daniel said it would be the "great seduction". So if you don't know the Word nor believe that it is infallible, nor have a
personal relationship with Jesus, you will undoubtedly fall to the seduction.
On the other hand, he said those that do know their God will remain strong and will do great exploits for Him. These great
exploits are along the nature of the things I spoke about at the beginning of this chapter. The other significant promise
that was given was "strength". They would remain strong in the things of the Lord and not fall. What is the key going to
be? Knowing God on a personal level and trusting His Word.
Then Daniel said it will be the "wise and understanding" among us that will instruct many during these dark times. That is
what the angel of the Lord alluded to when he spoke to me. The Lord will not leave His people without counsel and
instruction. He never has and never will. Although we will still be given the witness, the guidance of the Holy Spirit from
within our hearts as well as in the Word. We will also experience guidance in a rather profound way through the "wise
and understanding" whom God has set aside for that reason. Because the body will heed the counsel of these
individuals, many lives will be saved.
Moses was a type of what is to come. By listening to his counsel and government, Israel could be assured of "perfect
provision". The two times we see them utterly disobey him and despise his counsel (the incident with the golden calf and
when they did not rise up to take the promised land), many lives were lost. Although there were other uprisings, none had
the overall effect and long-term negative impact as their rebellion in those two settings.
It will be true concerning these counselors also. Not heeding their teachings will have disastrous effects. Holding close to
the guidance the Holy Spirit will give through them will be a way of safety and protection for the body.
Daniel went further to say that some leaders and members of the body would fall by the sword, flame, captivity, and
plunder for many days. At that time, many would choose to receive help from those not of the church and fall to deceptive
flatteries. It will be a choice to save their earthly lives rather than experience martyrdom for their faith. It will be a choice
with an eternal price - the loss of that person's soul.
~A Martyr's Death~
The body is not to fear this time, as it will be a time of grace as none other. Just prior to the first publication of Prepare,
(September 23, 1990), the Holy Spirit took me through the simulated experience of a martyr's death on three different
occasions. Within two weeks of the second experience, the Lord spoke to me from heaven in the middle of the night and
told me to share what I've experienced with my family, the Church of Jesus Christ, so they won't fear what is about to
happen, as that was the purpose of these experiences.
From my personal experiences, I'll explain what will happen. While only a minority will have the privilege of martyrdom,
it's important to remove the fear of the experience from the masses. First of all, when you know you're being called to be
a martyr, fear will overwhelm you. God will allow it, as it will act as sort of divine sieve, sifting out those who don't think
Jesus is worth dying for.
However, the minute you say, "Yes, Lord, I will give my life for you", the fear will leave and in its place you will be filled
with a peace that surpasses understanding. Joy will seem to explode from every fiber of your being. You will be filled,
saturated, with a love for God so strong, so overpowering, that it will seem as though you are going to go to heaven any
minute for the pull to be with Him will be so overwhelming. Your love for Him will draw you to want to give yourself as a
martyr - and the sooner the better.
Nothing less will seem good enough. That's why history records that Paul ran to the axman to have his head cut off. He
was filled with a martyr's grace. The one thing that will permeate your mind will be the joyful anticipation of the martyr's
death. If it is a whole family, as each member makes that decision to say yes, the whole family will receive the grace I
just spoke of. Mom, you may know your little children will have to watch your death. Don't worry or be afraid. They will be
so full of the martyr's grace that they will be rooting you on while they will maintain the necessary boldness to fulfill their
part, and vice versa. If it's your children that must go first, you will feel only joy for the privilege of your family's sacrifice.
So you will be applauding each member and anxiously awaiting your turn.
By the time your spirit leaves your body, you would have been so saturated with the presence of God; you undoubtedly
wouldn't have felt much pain. If, in fact, pain does occur, it will be wonderfully offset by the consuming presence of His
grace. Passing on to Jesus will hardly be noticed because of the degree of His presence you were in already.
Stephen's focus was not on the rocks which crushed his body when they stoned him to death in Acts the seventh
chapter. He was already in the presence of God.
But he, full of the Holy Spirit (martyr's grace*) and controlled by [Him], gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God
and Jesus standing at God's right hand. (Acts 7:55) (*Authors note)
Acts 6:8 told us Stephen was full of grace and power. We see Jesus is already preparing him for his death when it says
his face shone like an angel. But by the time he was stoned, he was so full of the Holy Ghost that all he did was talk to
Jesus face-to-face until his spirit left his body, and he was with the Lord.
Fear didn't fill the other saints that stood by. Those dedicated saints who loved Stephen were also filled with that same
grace so that a boldness swept over them in his death. Although the Bible indicates that many devout men grieved over
his death, it wasn't a grieving consumed with fear. It was the scriptural grief of the loss of a righteous man, that which
God himself feels. But their lamentation was offset by the joy of God's abounding grace. That's why in Acts 8:4 the Bible
said they were already back preaching "the Glad Tidings". He was what they would become, a sweet-smelling sacrifice
of love to Jesus.
I know this because in prayer the Holy Spirit spontaneously took me through the whole experience from beginning to
end. I didn't ask Him to, in fact, until those experiences, I feared my family or myself ever having to experience that sort
of death. During the first experience, He told me I would certainly give my life in this manner; I felt it would be in Europe.
Now, I can honestly say, I can't wait! My relationship with the Lord is now so much deeper. I love Him so much more. I
find it a privilege to die for Him. You will too, once you make the decision and put fear under foot where it belongs.
Look at the toll cancer takes and how painful that kind of death is. Yet, how many souls are won through it? We are all
going to die someday, someway. Why fear it just because the word martyr is attached to it?
Jesus took the sorrow and the suffering of the deaths of His martyrs on Calvary. What He gave us in return is a grace
that produces a song through our experience. The Lord doesn't call us to be martyrs just to see if we will suffer for Him.
He suffered so our suffering would be met by a higher grace. We are called that we might bear testimony for His name's
sake. A martyr's testimony has a way of bringing people into the kingdom that nothing else can. What is the testimony?
We give our lives gladly, joyfully for Him, and the pain is diminished to varying degrees so we can sing or preach the
gospel all during our martyr's experience. That sight will possibly be the only thing that will bring them to Jesus. There is
nothing to fear, only rejoice, if you're fortunate enough to be called in that way.
Please understand, I am not speaking of being tortured for Christ - only martyrdom. Many who have gone through torture
have suffered immense pain. The Lord seems to give a different kind of grace to those - that which enables them to bear
the unbearable and still love their violators. Yet, we see in the lives of men like Peter, James and Paul that God will give a
supernatural joy, even in torture. His ways are diverse and wonderful.
Although martyrdom will be a common thing, there will also be many supernatural escapes. The book of Daniel gives us
examples of the Lord's deliverances and His purpose behind such acts. Jesus was the fourth man in the furnace and
became their covering so that the three Hebrew men came out without even the smell of smoke.
During the coming times of persecution, divine rescues of this nature will be astounding - and common. A saint might be
in a line-up to be shot when suddenly he will disappear and once again show up in his own living room. As many ways as
man can device to kill, the Lord can create to deliver, bringing further testimony to the gospel. So don't be afraid - just
stay close to Jesus and He will take care of you.
As I said earlier, there will be many who will choose not to stay with the Lord during these worldwide persecutions. They
will instead yield to the devil's flatteries and lose their souls. Don't fear, Church, only trust. Hold fast to your crown. Don't
go the way of the wicked. The price is too great!!
Daniel goes on to say that while some have given in to the devil's deceptions, still others who are considered wise and
understanding (in other words, leaders in the body), will grow weak and fail. He also tells us that this will bring about a
chain reaction. My Amplified Bible reads: "...[thus then the insincere among the people will lose courage and become
deserters. It will be a test]..." (Daniel 11:35)
During good times, it can sometimes be difficult to know who made it to heaven and who didn't. God looks on the heart.
We just don't always know the heart, saints. But, during times like we are talking about now, it becomes much easier to
see who's real and who isn't. Daniel tells us three times, once in verse 32, 34, and again in verse 35, that those who are
not true, but are weak in heart, will fall and not go on with God. He also encourages us in verse 32, 33 and again in verse
35 that those who know God will be strong.
The key, as I see it then, is not to be considered wise or even understanding, although those two things can be great
strengths. But, that which will hold you in those days will be one thing alone - how well you know the Lord. To the degree
you know Him, you'll be able to stand. What is your secret relationship with Jesus? Loving Him won't be enough.
Knowing hundreds of scriptures won't be enough, although that too, will help. Your ability to hold tight will be in how well
you know Jesus personally. Where do you stand today?
Finally, he says in verse 35 that this will all be for the purifying of God's own, even until the time of the end. So once this
process begins, it will continue in ever-increasing ways until the end.
Your relationship with Jesus will keep you. Your submission to the Holy Spirit will hold you secure and guide you daily.
Your willingness to hear God's counselors in the times ahead will help keep you in "perfect provision".
Now is the time to press into Jesus. Don't wait. If you wait, who will save your foolish soul? The wise in heart, upon
hearing this message, will throw every distraction and hindrance out of their lives and run all the way into Jesus where
they will be strong. How about you?
The Bible says God's grace is sufficient. This is a work of the precious Holy Spirit giving strength, peace and joy for
difficult times. We must remember to whom we belong, and trust His abounding goodness. Though the times may be
treacherous, those who draw close to our wonderful Shepherd will always know the joy of their salvation. This is why the
Bible says where sin abounds, grace doth much more abound. So don't expect to travel through tomorrow on the likes of
today's grace. God, in His infinite mercy, will equip us with an "abounding grace" - to meet with victory, the intensified
darkness.
So do not fear - prepare!
- PREPARE! -
CHAPTER NINE
MIGHTY MEN OF VALOR

The angel of the white horse cried: "Counsel coming from behind the veil. Counsel concerning spiritual warfare.
Government coming to the Church. God bringing forth the 'mighty men of valor' to lead the Church forth in
war!"
In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he who is [spiritually] feeble and
stumbles among them in that day [of persecution] shall become [strong and noble] like David; and the house of
David [shall maintain its supremacy] like God, like the Angel of the Lord who is before them. (Zechariah 12:8
Amp.)
His [They] shall become like a mighty warrior, and their hearts shall rejoice as through wine; yes, their children
shall see it and rejoice; their hearts shall feel great delight and glory triumphantly in the Lord! (Zechariah 10:7
Amp.)
Proclaim this among the nations; Prepare war, stir up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them
come up. (Joel 3:9 Amp.)
We are soon going to see a most interesting phenomenon on the landscape of time. I had a lengthy vision in the spring
of 1991. I was in prayer with my prayer partner when suddenly I realized I had been released into a wonderful presence of
God's power. This vision was given to better clarify insight given by the angel on the white horse regarding the "men of
valor".
As the vision was opened to me, I saw what looked like colonial houses of about the late 1700's. They were
houses of various sizes and architectural style arrayed in a small town like setting. It looked as though it was
about midnight, and the town was at rest. The lights were out in homes, and the streets were dimly lit and
empty.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of the hoofs of a running horse, beating feverishly into the dirt. This was followed
by the cry of a single voice crashing into the stillness of the night.
The rider was a man dressed in a blue coat with white riding pants and wearing a blue three-cornered hat, as
I would expect Paul Revere of old might have worn. He was riding a magnificent white horse up and down
through the streets crying: "The blackcoats are coming! Put on your battle array! Get ready to fight! The
blackcoats are coming. They're almost here!"
I saw lights go on in houses as they heard his cry in the night. One man opened a window to ask the town
crier what was going on. However, the rider simply reared his horse and rode on again proclaiming his
message through the city.
One by one, I saw men dressed for war come out of their homes and head for the town square. Yet not every
man came out. In fact, comparatively few responded. As they entered the city square, the rider met them,
pointing with arm outstretched toward what appeared to be a gate in the city wall. Again he cried, "The
blackcoats are coming - an army fierce and mighty - prepare for war!" Immediately, the men ran toward the
gate and arrayed themselves outside the city wall for battle.
Suddenly, I heard the hoofbeats of what seemed to be an army riding in the night. Then I looked and saw
terrible men dressed in black and riding large black horses, approaching the small brigade of bluecoats.
Then the vision changed and I saw a huge brick oven - a sort of kiln - one that would be used for baking
pottery in perhaps the early 1800's. In looking closer, instead of pottery, I saw silver vessels being fired.
I asked the Lord what the silver vessels were. I then saw a man's arm reach in with a long shovel-like
instrument to take the silver vessels out. The Lord replied, "These are they whom I am releasing at this time
for front-line ministry."
I found myself strangely drawn back to again peer into the huge oven. I said "Lord, what are those vessels
way back in the back? Do you see them, Lord? I can just barely see them. They seem almost hidden back on
a shelf in the back of the oven.
The Lord then replied, "Those are my golden vessels. I am keeping them hidden in the fiery furnace until the
time of their appearing. Only silver vessels will be revealed at this time. The golden vessels will be released
soon after their great fiery trial." The vision came to an end.
I believe the silver vessels are those who have begun to be released into new dimensions, both of the Spirit and
leadership, since 1991. The golden vessels however, will be those who are to be released at a later date. These will be
anointed as prophets and apostles. Some of these may now be in active ministry but not yet set into their vital offices.
They will join those who, up to that appointed time, were kept hidden and off the scene. Together they will arise, as
golden vessels ready to move into war as the mighty men of valor! They will be set in front-line ministry spearheading the
warfare of the great army of the Lord! This new breed of prophets will be coming forth first; the apostles will then follow,
leading us into the great Apostolic Age.
What will we call this great army of militia which are about to be called out? A modern army of "David's Mighty Men Of
Valor"! This was the name given to me by the angel of the Lord.
~New Age of Enlightenment~
Thomas Paine is quoted as saying, "The Revolutionary War contributed more to enlighten the world and diffuse a spirit of
freedom and liberty among mankind than any human event that preceded it." Of course, Thomas Paine was referring to
events on the secular dimension. I however, must remember events that preceded 1775 AD. Remembering the death and
resurrection of Christ as being the axis upon which every other revolution of enlightenment turns, I am forced to ask,
"What can compare?"
Following that was the great awakening ushered in at Pentecost. Then came the great Reformation headed by Martin
Luther. So great was that awakening that it shaped governments and enlightened the world which had previously dropped
into dismal darkness. Personally, I know of no other single event in history since the founding of the Church that can
compare.
I might even go so far as to offer the thought that America was subsequently established as a Christian nation as a result
of that Reformation. Consequently, one might say that the American Revolution was a logical consequence of that
Reformation which in fact, then thrust the world into a new era.
Contrary to some beliefs, we have not entered into the "Age of Aquarius". Nor have we entered into a "New Age of
Democracy" as one reporter puts it. We are, however, about to enter the Apostolic Age which will bring the ultimate
reformation of enlightenment, inter-globally. There has never been, nor will there ever again be, anything like it. The
Millennial Age itself will have to dawn to outshine it.
As I have previously mentioned, it will be these "mighty men of valor" that will usher the world into the Apostolic Age. It
will be the age of the golden vessels. These valiant souls will, by in large, be the prophets and apostles bearing the
responsibility of bringing a higher government back to the Church, and will come forth with great signs and wonders. They
will be sent forth to heal the great breaches in the Church universal. They will both bring down non-ethical governments in
the Church, and lift up Christ's government. The body will be both humbled and healed by their warfare. Who will survive
the day of their appearing? I heard a voice cry out, "They are coming; they are coming; and the Church sees them as a
burden too great to bear, as they are government." Who will stand? The true ecumenical Church who has prepared itself
for the day of their coming will stand!
I want to clarify here however, that the body of Christ is not without government today. Each ministry gift carries with it its
own endowment of government adapted to its need. These apostles and prophets are not being sent out to overturn the
Lord's government through His pastors, but to compliment it. Not withstanding all this, God's government will be given to
the church universal in a new and dynamic dimension as these men and women receive this endowment and are put in
their place. Hence, the body of Christ will be brought to a new stability and strength in righteousness and moved into a
new level of anointing as a result.
These souls now being prepared in the furnace of affliction for the hour of their appearing will be people who know no fear.
Anointed to bring down the Goliaths of Satandom, none will be able to stand before them. Having experienced in a
manifested way the co-crucifixion of their sinful nature with their Lord, they are dead to the world, sin and the devil.
Victorious over all three, they will be terrorizing to the blackcoat's army.
~Unity On Three Levels~
For war to be fought and won, there must be unity on three levels:
Unity of command - which is the five-fold ministry leadership under Christ

Unity of effort - soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder in the fray against Satan's kingdom. Men and women of
strength, commitment, wisdom, humility and valor. People fighting on behalf of righteousness, anointed to destroy
Satan's strongholds in the lives of the elect and to serve others.
Unity of purpose - what is the two-fold purpose? Heal the Church and win the lost. Love will be the focus; faith will
avail the power. It will be an army of servants whose eyes are set wholly on their Lord. Their single vision will be the
result of a supernatural working of the Spirit of Grace, Who will draw every eye in His triumphant Church upon their
living Lord! Hence, the Church will be graced with an unprecedented authority and power. They will be a people of
vulnerability and simplicity, marching on with singleness of vision, that of glorifying their King.
The leadership of this great forthcoming army will be equipped with full government as their intended purpose is to restore
government to the Church. Secondly, their weapon will be weapons of a supernatural nature sent out to bring down the
altars and prophets of Baal in the Church. Like Elijah, God will be at their right hand. Love will be their banner, humility
their strength, wisdom their shield. To those who love righteousness, they will be as beloved as Samuel. To those who
hate righteousness, these leaders will be feared, dreaded, and despised.
Through them the scripture will be fulfilled:
See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the
hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and
strike the land with a curse. (Malachi 4:5&6 NIV)
The world will then know that Joel's army has come. Come it will, in the name of "David's mighty men of valor". Just as
David's mighty men prepared the way for the glory of Solomon's reign, these men of valor will prepare the way for the
ushering in of the great Apostolic Age, purging sin from Zion.

CHAPTER TEN
"THE GOLDEN VESSELS"
~APOSTLES AND PROPHETS~
The angel spoke as I stood before him:

"Tell my people to heed my prophets, heed my anointed for their counsel is sure and the way of safety and life.
God is lifting up specially anointed teachers, prophets of the Most High. They will be given the rod of
government. They will carry the sword bringing separation and judgment and will be healers of great breaches
among my own.
They will prepare the saints with battle strategy and equip them with the power of a mighty warrior, bearing the
anointing to spoil. Heaven's government (apostles and prophets) is coming in to separate and heal and lead out
into strategic battle.
These prophets will be teachers who will be given counsel from behind the veil, counsel of superior wisdom and
strategy for safety, unity, and spiritual warfare. They will be taken into the secret counsel of the Most High to
obtain what must be diligently taught to the elect. This is counsel that will provide safety in treacherous times.
Don't mourn, only heed the voice of the Spirit of Counsel and Might.
Tell them; tell my people to heed my coming anointed ones. Tell them to prepare!
The Bible says:
Thus says the Lord of hosts; Let your hands be strong and hardened, you who in these days hear these words from
the mouths of the prophets. (Zechariah 8:9 Amp.)
... And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and will make you [Israel] as the sword of a
mighty man. (Zechariah 9:13 Amp.)
Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:17 Amp.)
And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was [Israel] preserved. (Hosea 12:13
Amp.)
The voice of the mature prophet and the mature apostle once again is going to be heard in the earth. They are God's
golden vessels.
In the previous chapter, I mentioned that I saw "Golden Vessels" hidden in what looked like a huge kiln. I shared that the
Lord told me that these would be released in their appointed hour, shortly after their fiery trial.
There are some known men and women of God who will enter into their fiery trial, only to emerge once again, as golden
vessels. Others have been hidden for the last few years, literally set upon God's shelf awaiting the time of their appearing.
They too, will be ushered through the most severe fiery trial. In both cases, the trial is designed to crucify the self-
government of the vessel. Having experienced in a real way the co-crucifixion with the Lord, they will come forth as
golden vessels - or shall I say golden swords - wielded by the hand of the Lord. I say vessels because they will carry like
a valuable golden chalice the critical oil of healing and wisdom to pour out on the body. I say golden sword because they
are government.
At their appearance they will be proclaiming the oracles of God, to both the Church and to the world. Their message, as
the angel of the Lord stated, will be designed to bring forth separation, judgment, salvation, healing and unity. They will
be branded by the "brand of heaven" and will move in awesome signs and wonders, for a special mission designated for
this critical hour. They will, in turn, brand by the power of the Almighty through their words. It will be as though their
hearers have been touched by a live coal from off the altar!
When I saw these prophets coming and saw the Church's fear, I couldn't help but ask Him, "Lord, why does the Church
so fear these awesome men?" His response was tender but quite exacting. "They will bear the rod of government - a
seemingly unbearable yoke to the Church."
I saw and felt the power and unparalleled authority flowing out of these golden vessels. I felt the holy fear of God which
emanated from them, and I instinctively know that the apostle would bear a rod of government of even greater proportion.
The Lord then concluded by saying, "The Church greatly fears their coming."
I, however, want to encourage my reader. Although this higher government will at first seem unbearable, and these
prophets and apostles at first will be greatly feared, we will see in the end that they are gifts of God's great mercy. It is
an operation of His redeeming grace that He would send His direct government once again to His Church.
It is, in fact, this new infrastructure of government that will, once again, make the Church strong, overcoming and soaring.
It was an exceedingly overcoming Church in the first century. Although the Church universal is a good statement of the
grace of the Almighty today, it isn't all it could be. The Church of tomorrow will depict the excellencies of Christ in a way
no other Church age has done. The government of the prophets and apostles will be the facilitating factor of this
superlative release of grace into and through the Church, empowering it to impact the world for Christ.
Isaiah best explains what is going to happen: "I will bring the blind by a way they know not; I will lead them in paths that
they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, an uneven place a plain. These things I have determined to
do [for them]. and not leave them forsaken." (Isaiah 42:16 Amp.)
Now some might argue with this saying, "God has given us the Holy Spirit as a subjective form of leading. How then can
you say God will lead the blind by a way they know not?" That is an excellent question.
The leading and guidance that will come forth from these devout people will not preclude God's personal leading by the
Holy Spirit within our spirits. Rather, the Holy Spirit will confirm the value of the counsel coming from His government
heads to the heart of a listening believer. Still, the Christian has the right to disregard these faithful counselors. However,
that would not be wise in the days that are ahead.
Why does the Scripture have the right to call us blind? Because, we are relatively blind in comparison to the light we will
soon need. Only these mature prophets and apostles will have gone through the necessary purging to be eyes to the
body of Christ such as we will need in this hour.
The Church's submission to God's government through these holy souls can be likened to the marshalling of a great
military might under not a Captain, but one with the training and authority of a Five Star General.
Comparatively speaking, for the higher life the Church will ultimately be thrust into, it will be in a broad sense, life brought
back from the dead.
Prophets and apostles will be sent forth, not only to martial the military giant, but to teach and train it with these
currently veiled truths. These truths will be released to them, as the body is ready for them. Ultimately, they will be
endowed to empower this holy bastion of saints that will arise as David's mighty men. As a unit, they will go forth led by
these "Davids", as it were, who will be riding on before them.
The mature prophets will appear first, followed by the mature apostles, escorting the Church into the golden Apostolic
Age. Great and awesome signs and wonders will accompany them and will cause the world to take note. Some have
said to me that they don't understand why I speak as though the prophets and apostles have not yet been released. I
want to briefly address that here. Although these offices have not always been recognized in the Church they have been
with us from the beginning. However, these golden vessels that are soon to be released are a new caliber of prophets and
apostles. Being more highly refined, they will bare an anointing of proportionately greater magnitude than any we see
today. Further, they will walk in spiritual insight and wisdom of much greater dimension, as they will have been taken
behind the spiritual veil. A veil which will be removed in the crucifixion of their sinful nature. God is giving them as a
special gift of grace to the church in a very dark hour. We will not only want what they will have, but we will desperately
need it. Once again, with these valiant souls will come a most awesome equipping of the saints with a new authority and
power.
As for the Church heeding the counsel of these golden vessels; it will be a way of safety and life!
SO
- PREPARE, CHURCH -
CHAPTER ELEVEN
THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD
~The Apostolic Age~
In the prophets, Christ was called the "everlasting Father". (Is. 9:6) Yet since the exodus of Israel from out of Egypt, we
have never seen the "Fatherhood of God" so wonderfully demonstrated.
As I have written in other places in this book, we will see it with great signs and wonders. Micah wrote: "As in the days of
your coming forth from the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things. (Micah 7:15) Thus the Father will come forth
in this final hour of history exercising His right to rule in the destiny of man.
Although all the angelic visitors spoke to me about the Apostolic Age, not one used the term "The Fatherhood of God". It
was the Lord Himself who gave me this term. He said, "The greatest distinction of the coming Apostolic Age will be
the revealing of the Fatherhood of God." This will be accompanied by great signs and wonders. But first, David's
mighty men of valor will arise, preparing the way, making all things ready. It will be the great demonstration of the
Fatherhood of God that will open the eyes of many Jews to see Christ their Messiah.
I want to share just a little about this crucial Apostolic Age, as many of the things addressed by the angels will come to
fruition just prior to or during that time.
Perhaps one of the most critical changes that will take place in this upcoming age will be concerning the cross. In the
days to come, no one thing will be exalted as the cross of Jesus Christ! In this present time, as well as in the recent
past, the call to the cross has been severely diminished. In some circles it has been watered down; in other circles, it
has been considered beyond Christian dignity. Still in other circles it has not been considered all. God will, however, turn
this terrible misconception around, revealing His heart concerning the matter. The church in these last days will embrace
the crucified life, the way of the cross, in an exceptional way. Having embraced it themselves, they will then strike out on
a new, successful path of evangelism bringing to birth a new quality of church. Perhaps an even more profound reality will
be the fact that God Himself is going to lift up the cross, not only through His church, but by His own hand as well. We
can safely say that the day of the prophet, the apostle, and the Fatherhood of God, will be the day of the church's
espousal to the cross. The Apostolic Age will be a day of confrontation - that of man with the Living Christ, a day when all
excuses for ignorance will be shattered. It is a day when the true disciple of Christ will be discipled, not by man, but by
Christ Himself. This discipling cannot bypass the cross. Moreover, it must travel through it and remain under it. That is
the reason most people now reject it. It is just as Jesus Himself said, "Whoever does not persevere and carry his own
cross and come after (follow) Me, cannot be My disciple." (Luke 14:27 Amp.)
One can sit under exemplary teaching by the best teachers and never truly be a disciple of Jesus. However, one cannot
be a true disciple of Christ without living the crucified life. God has born with the comfort zones of the present day Church
because of His great and longsuffering love for us. But the day of the prophets, and more so the apostles, will mean the
end to His tolerance of our apathy. His love for us demands that He bring us to His highest and best for us, completing
us in the perfections of Christ. So while He has been patient, in the end He will compel us to our own confrontation with
Christ Jesus. Any who will go on with Christ will submit to His way!
~The Age of Maturity~
While God is getting ready to reveal to His Fatherhood to the nations, man is also entering a unique time of maturation.
He is making passage into the "manhood of man." This will be true in three different spheres.
First, the community of unbelievers, or those we will refer to as "the world", will enter his manhood. This will be a time
when all things concerning man will come to its ultimate climax. The rebellion of the rebellious will be the greatest
distinction of the world. The community of the unbeliever worldwide will arise as one man, rejecting Christ, ultimately
enthroning the antichrist.
Having negotiated a universal "quasi-unity" in purpose and unrighteous endeavors, the autonomy of man will be the only
acceptable belief. Hence, lawlessness against righteousness will be the way of every man. Howbeit, not without
ultimately establishing a one-world "pseudo-religion" that will climax at the foot of the antichrist in a religion that will carry
in its wings the most powerful deception the world has ever known.
The deception will initially be released in a moderate wave. A deception the Lord referred to, as "the deception of the
eleventh hour" will grip the hearts of those who are not willing to embrace Christ and the life of the cross. This will
increase until it becomes the "deception of the final hour".
Heed a strong warning! Anything less than total sell-out to Christ will end up at some point in shipwreck. That doesn't
exclude possible restoration, but the shipwrecked soul will travel through much unnecessary suffering.
On the other hand, there will be many who will not recover from the deception, to the loss of their own souls. As the tide
increases, it will be accompanied by increasing signs and wonders. As for the Church, we must remember that nothing
can separate us from the love of God. So press in and stay faithful to pure truth.
Although in some spheres this will be a time of "quasi-unity" as I have already mentioned, in other spheres this will not
be true. The manhood of man will be found to be a time of growing, unprecedented violence. There will be violence within
nations, rising against another. There will be upheavals in government, as well as oppressive violence from government
upon the people they are supposed to serve. Accompanying these various form of violence will be the upheavals brought
about by the chastisements of judgments of God.
Because man will be in the apex of his manhood, refusing God's government, he will find himself under the greatest
judgment of God for his rebellion. This judgment is depicted quite clearly in the book of Revelation.
The second category of individuals reaching their manhood will be the Jew. As the Scripture says of Jacob, "He took his
brother by the heel in [their mother's] womb, and in the strength [of his manhood] he contended and had power with
God." (Hosea 12:3)
When Israel reaches the strength of his manhood, he will enter into an unprecedented wrestling with God for the sake of
survival. Seeing his Arabian brother riding hard after him (as depicted in Esau) and realizing that extinction will result if
there is not Divine intervention, the stage will be set for the national awakening of Christ as their Messiah. At this time,
Zechariah's word as recorded in (Zech. 12:10) will come to pass: "And they shall look [earnestly] upon Me whom they
have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one
who is in bitterness for his firstborn."
By this spiritual wrestling, Jacob will at last prevail with God. Christ will then be revealed through His people Israel, hence
opening the gates of the final phase of the global revival. As I understand it, the church, being removed in the rapture, will
pass the baton of evangelism back to Israel. The day of God's wrath will then be released which will culminate His
dealings with man.
The third category of humanity that will be entering its manhood will be the church. Paul wrote in respect to that:
For because of Him the whole body (the Church, in all its various parts closely) joined and firmly knit together by
the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part [with power adapted to its need] is working
properly [in all its functions], grows to full maturity, building itself up in love. (Eph. 4:16 Amp.)
This he wrote depicting the ultimate reality of the church - matured in love and forged in faith. The presence of Christ in us
captures the heart, uniting one another until His church rises like one man to demonstrate the perfections of Christ.
God will, through His church-universal, demonstrate to all mankind and devils alike, the nobility for which man was
created. He (the church) will have been ushered into a mantel that will release the excellence of maturity in those who
are ready. The beauties of Christian virtue will be upon the very young. The church will have entered its "manhood".
Having thus traversed this higher plane, the grace of Christ will flow in a most profound manner, as I shared in the chapter
of unity.
The peculiar power and authority currently residing only in the Head will then begin to be released in the Body. Love,
wisdom and glory will abound in His church. Humility will mark this powerful army as they go forth setting the prisoners
free. Apostolic wisdom and knowledge will be released in an unprecedented way upon the church, thus, bringing to earth
an age of enlightenment so brilliant as to be compared to the rise of the Morning Star sweeping away the haunting
darkness. Even so, darkness will be maturing and getting ready to explode with a vengeance. Regardless, as the age
comes to a climax, all will be without excuse concerning their rejection of Christ.
Just prior to this great era, the church will be confronted by three major crises. There is a purpose for this. When man
meets a crisis, he is thrust into a transitional state out of which a permanence is established. This permanence will act
as a new foundation stone for the remainder of his life. For that reason, crisis is extremely important in every life.
God is going to usher the Body through these three crises, generating healing and maturation in the transitional stage,
hence, securing us in a new permanence in Him. Although these crises will be painful, His purpose is to bring us, each
and every one, to completeness in Christ. This higher grace is the reality He will use to glorify His name among the
nations.
~The Cycle of Crises~
I will not necessarily be listing these crises in sequential order, nor will I be going into great explanation of them, as this
is not meant to be a teaching book, but rather a means of getting information about future events to the Body.
The first crisis I will mention will be that of the "great house of deception" which is coming! People from every
denomination, leaders and lay people alike, will enter into a "quasi-unity". This will culminate in a dangerous New Age
theology which will be mixed with the true Gospel, the likes of which has not yet been seen. Accompanying this
movement will eventually be signs and wonders that will be very convincing. The major emphasis will be that of love. But,
it will not be God! In fact, it will be demonic, a major deception against the Body of Christ.
It will be the building of a great spiritual house of deception which the Lord spoke to me about in 1989 while I was in a
trance* This is the spiritual house, the temporal house I discuss in the section "Judgment on the Nations". Some that will
fall into this deception will eventually be freed from it through prayer. Unfortunately - "the one-world religion". Today we
need discernment unlike any other time in history.
The second crisis will be a result of spiritual warfare of the "mighty men of valor" previously mentioned. The sifting,
separating, judgment and restoration that will accompany these "men of valor" will, in effect, establish steel bones in the
backbone of the church.
The third crisis will concern the temporal climate in which we live - calamities and economics, as well as the great
persecutions mentioned throughout this book, will be coming upon the church and the unsaved Jew. This will have an
impact of such a nature as to create a generation of the most valiant and noble souls ever to grace this earth. God has
typically had His men, but in this age, He will have His generation, generation of born again Jews and Gentiles showing
forth the excellencies of Christ.
So, while the man of the world is entering his manhood, an unrestrained lust for power will drive him to the insanity of
outrageous lawlessness. His very character will become acclimated to the climate needed to bring forth the antichrist
whom he will embrace to his own destruction.
In Conclusion
What we will find opposing the man of the world in justice will be the Son of Righteousness through His militant church, a
church which will be going forth as "one man" in profound love seeking the lost. The mission will be that of healing the
nations through righteousness. The battle of the ages - good against evil - will have been fought and won by this
triumphant church.
Through it all, God will reveal His Fatherhood, a revelation which clearly defines the love, power, wisdom, holiness,
government and judgeship of God. His Spirit will reach into humanity in tangible ways never before seen. He will do this
first through His Church. Then, after the Lord has taken His church in the rapture, He will pour His Spirit out afresh upon
the nation of Israel, forming a national body which will move forth, demonstrating the greatness of our God in a way
destined only for these newly born-again Jews. They will arise to sing the unsung song of generations. God, having made
known His Fatherhood in great signs and wonders, will wave His Almighty arm across humanity one more time through
His son Israel, confounding the nations. He will simultaneously pour out His wrath upon the rebellious and close the
curtain.
Where will you be!

CHAPTER TWELVE
ESCAPE TO ZION
January 10, 1990 - The angel of the white horse cried:
"Run, run from the daughter of wickedness. The time is at an end. Judgment is sure. Come out of her my
people; come out of Babylon. Don't mourn the loss; but run, run from the fallen daughter of wickedness.
Babylon is falling. Come out of her my people - Babylon is falling!"
January 25, 1990 - I saw a great city - Babylon, a city hidden in darkness. Out of the midst of Babylon arose a
great tower.
Then the messenger angel said, "This is the great Babylon - the tower you see is Babel." Then he cried,
"Babel is the seat of world governments and Babylon, its hiding place - Mystery Babylon, the empowering
spirit, It must fall; it must come down. Babylon will fall!"
Ho! Escape to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon! (Zechariah 2:7 Amp.)
I then heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you may not share in her sins
neither participate in her plagues." (Revelation 18:4 Amp.)
In the chapter "Babylon is Falling", I share on the necessity of breaking our dependency upon the world's financial
system. It is not an exhortation to quit relating to the world's financial system as that would be impossible. We must,
however, break with our emotional dependence upon it and begin to shift that dependence to the Lord. I also emphasized
that we must get out of debt.
In this chapter, I will share another fact of leaving Babylon that we must consider! This area is perhaps even more
important!
~FLEE BABYLON~
But far be it for me to glory [in anything or anyone] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,
through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world! (Galatians 6:14 Amp.)
We live in and must use the things of the world. However, we are not to live in sympathy with or be assimilated into the
ways or the spirit of the world. We are to totally abort the world from our soul. This is the only abortion, by the way, that
is legal in the eyes of God.
Paul further stated:
It [grace]* has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live
discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world. (Titus 2:12 Amp.)
(*emphasis author's)
And further:
So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members - those animal impulses and all that is
earthly in you that is employed in sin: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and
covetousness, for that is idolatry [the defying of self and other created things instead of God]. (Col. 3:5 Amp.)
What is he saying? We are to totally reject from our hearts the rudiments of the world. (Col. 2:8 Amp.) What are the
rudiments? - sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness. This is true
although we are still living in the world and with its people. The central import, then, is that of the heart. The apostle John
simply referred to the whole dynamics as the "lust of the flesh, pride of life, and lust of the eyes". Simplifying it still
further, it is the life of the sinful nature, which we must abort. That is the faculty in man, which compels him toward the
loving servitude to sin. Paul also called it the "law of sin and death."
Although we live in the world, we must abandon the love of sin that clearly rules its people. This task may seem to the
average believer an impossible challenge. Yet, if the Christian will take the challenge double yoked with the Holy Spirit, it
is achievable.
The spirit of Babylon is Satan's kingdom. It is the spirit of rebellion to God, the spirit of lawlessness in revolt against His
righteous government. To continue to embrace the world is to cherish that very antichrist government that so craftily lays
its snares for our souls. We must turn from all passion that steals the soul, however seductively, from the humble and
joyous submission to the life of the Cross. A self-emptying life in total devotion to our Lord is the way we must
continually live.
That means saying no to anger, resentment, jealousy, covetousness, greed, drunkenness, revelry, adultery, and so on.
Choosing instead, to live in love, holiness, purity, self-sacrifice, etc. All this can be done through the power and
enablement of the Holy Spirit, making the manifested crucifixion of our sinful nature the ultimate goal.
Babylon first wins through subtlety, then cleverly captivates, as one who is provocative and demanding, but in the end
requires total allegiance. Those who are dwelling in cohabitation with Babylon, loving its ways, will fall with it. Hence, the
cry - run into Zion! Christians must overcome Babylon's tantalizing pull and run headlong into Christ, submitting with their
hearts to the holy and righteous government of the Spirit of the Church.
~The Worth of Your Soul~
So valuable is the human soul that only the blood of Christ could cover the ransom. No amount of jewels or power, not
even the amassed wealth of an entire nation could pay the price. Again, only our Lord's holy and perfect blood could pay
the price.
The Lord, having placed such a high value on our soul, deemed it equitable, even necessary, to sacrifice the life of His
dear Son to redeem it.
Oh, if only we could see the value of our souls as He does. We would ever crave that our souls be filled with His holiness,
desiring above all else His gracious saturation of our poverty stricken souls with the richness of His majestic holiness. In
being thus filled, we would experience the completeness that holiness brings to the soul.
"The ransom of a life is too costly and [the price one can pay] can never suffice". (Psalms 48:8)
Answering to this reality, Paul penned:
However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that
the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be of God and not from ourselves. (2 Cor. 4:7
Amp.)
God, once again, put His stamp of approval upon the creation, whom He called man, when He put His Holy Spirit, in
these frail human vessels. No amount of riches, possessions, fame, or power could ever ennoble us as Christ has
already done. He lifted us higher than any station in life could, even higher than positions of an earthly king, president, or
chancellor.
Therefore, to take the richness of that heavenly glory, the dignity of our holy souls, and run it through the mire of the
decadent world, participating in its ignoble ways, is a travesty to the honor we have been given as well as dishonoring the
One who bought our souls.
For one to truly understand that reality is to enter into a holy revolution on behalf of one's own soul. At last, having his
eyes open to the hope of his own calling, there seems no other alternative but to lead others to the same powerful end.
To turn from the Babylonian life and be crucified to the world is to live above the curse, experientially as Christ did. It is to
walk in full manifested power, having gained full victory over sin, the world and the devil. It is to be one who has
"overcome", to whom Christ said he would give all things. It is to live in an experiential fullness of the revelation of Jesus
Chris, drinking in the depths of God.
It is freedom from driving passions, destructive habits, and a life being secretly controlled by the enemy of our souls. It is
a life of increasing victories, of wisdom and expanding influence for the good of others. It is a life, which gives the power
to see through the storm, leading one's steps safely through the maze of obstacles to fruitfulness on the other side. It is
all things good and wise with nothing faulty or bad.
Church, turn from the ways of sin and self; sellout to the holy and wise ways of Christ. Run from the man of sin, and into
the strength of righteousness.
To those who heed this call, the promise is given:
So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean] - who separates himself from contact with
contaminating and corrupting influences will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and
noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work. (2 Timothy 2:21 Amp.)

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
BETWEEN THE SECTIONS

Up to this point, I have primarily concentrated on the events of the visitation of the "Angel on the White Horse" and on a
part of a vision I had in January, several days after the first visitation. I have covered most of what I was told and most of
what I saw in my experiences, so let us move on.
In the first half of this book, I covered how the Lord will deal with the church and the individual life. From this point on
however, I will be sharing how God will deal with the nations America, Canada, and nations around the world.
Some of the things I'll be sharing will be the rest of what I was given by the first angel on January 10. I still have things
locked away, which were given by the "Angel of the Red Horse" on June 1st. These things will be shared at a later, more
appropriate time and in another book.
I'll also reveal the remainder of the lengthy vision I had on January 25, 1990. During that vision, a messenger from heaven
spoke to me as a friend would speak to a friend. Although I never saw him, he gave me directives throughout the whole
vision some of which I will share.
On March 31, 1990, I had another vision in the middle of the night. This vision concerned the nations and was like a great
link of a chain being released to me that would somehow tie everything else together. I'll give the details of that also.
The last experience I had this year was on June 1st when I was taken out of my hotel room at 2:00 in the morning to
meet with a band of angels up in the heavens. It wasn't the third heaven, but up in the stratosphere above the earth. One
angel of significantly greater stature than the rest did all the talking as I'll later explain. It was through him that I saw the
red horse, and it was by him that I would receive the instructions to seal my assignment. He also gave me the apparent
reason for all of these remarkable occurrences. He is the one that brought me back to my room at 3:00 in the morning
and at that time tied this visitation together with the one I had received on January 10th.
It was the first thing of September when I was given instruction that I was to start sharing a vision I had on January 27,
1989, with this message. As I had not yet shared it from the platform, I was reluctant. However, it is of vital importance
regarding America, so I'll be incorporating it into this book as I now do from the pulpit.
Some of the things I have received from these holy messengers were not new to me as I had received them in various
means of communication from the Lord before this time. However, they gave it as though I were hearing it for the first
time. Admittedly, about sixty percent of what I was told during these events came to me in such a way that it was new,
releasing much understanding, revelation, and information. The remaining forty percent seemed brand new because of the
new dimensions of understanding that came with it.
By the time I had experienced the visitation of the angel on the Red Horse, something extraordinary was released in my
life and ministry. It was as though the Lord had closed one volume of my life and opened another. The events of the future
of the church and the world have never been more real to me. I trust that as you continue to read, the Holy Spirit will
make it real to you, also.

PART TWO
Verdict on the Nations
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
THE RED HORSE

At 2:00 Saturday morning on June 1, 1990, I was awakened to find myself being ushered out of my hotel room
up into the heavens. It all happened so fast. One moment I was asleep, the next I was part of a ring or circle
of angels in the sky. All of the angels seemed to be of one stature, what the Bible refers to as "ministering
servants", except for one. He was a being of significantly greater stature. He looked like he could have been
of equal rank to the one I had seen on January 10th.
It was this angel that did all of the communicating to me. It seemed that he would be listening for a time then
he would declare what he had been told.
President Bush had been in a summit meeting that week with Gorbachev. I had an intense interest in what
was decided in that meeting, however, I was so busy that no matter how hard I tried to make time to take in
the news, every effort ended in futility. So I was feeling a little frustrated about that. It was in response to that
concern that the angel addressed me just before my return to the hotel room.
"Nita, you be concerned about the summit meeting in the sky. Tell the people of the earth - prepare - prepare
- prepare for the results of the summit meeting in the sky."
Then he turned and looked behind himself. As he did this, suddenly a huge tunnel became apparent. The
tunnel was long and winding as it descended from heaven. Its height seemed to be about the height of a
house. Coming down this tunnel was a flaming red horse moving at a full run. It too, was large and
exquisitely powerful, as was the white horse I had seen on January 10th.
When the heavenly messenger saw this red horse, he quickly turned back to me. Now his face was even more
intense as he shouted the strong declaration:
"The Red Horse is coming. Tell the people, prepare - prepare - prepare for the events that are to take place
with the coming of the Red Horse."
I began to groan deep inside my spirit. It was like the prophet said, "His words were sweet to my mouth, but
bitter to my stomach." As I looked from the Red Horse back to the angel, I cried, "But, Angel, what is the
coming of the Red Horse?"
He then looked back at the horse, which by now was near the mouth of the tunnel, then back to me and cried,
"God's Wrath!" As he said that, the word "wrath" entered into my mind, but the word "war" entered into my
spirit.
After the communications were released, I was enclosed back to my hotel room. Later, I wrote it all down and pondered it
awhile. God has granted these visitations for reasons I may not thoroughly understand for years to come.
I received the heavenly commission three times. On three out of four of these divine
experiences I was told to "prepare the peoples of the earth for the coming of the events which I had
foreseen".
Because of the contents within the vision that I saw on March 31, 1990, I want to share it here:
I saw myself standing in the midst of several people who were warning me not to go into various countries
considering the danger. I insisted that my going was imperative. The need so outweighed the concern of
danger. Subsequently, I was walking across miles of terrain that reflected the scourging of fire. The land had
been utterly wasted. Only burnt images remained where lush trees once abounded, the soil still heaving with
the purifying fire, like lava, blistering over the landscape. Strangely enough, I seemed unaffected by the
radiating heat of the ground under my feet.
I saw hundreds of pilgrims walking together in clusters. Each group seemed totally unaware of all the
devastation that surrounded them as they were on their way out of the country. I was perplexed by this as the
need was so great, I couldn't understand why they were leaving. People would continue to flow past me
saying "Don't go any further. It's too dangerous. You'll die in there." But, even as they spoke, I could see into
the cities of this country. There was looting, rioting, and murdering. There were food shortages and terrible
plagues, and darkness and terror assailed the people on every side. As I saw this, I would nod and say to
myself, "I'll be alright. They need the Lord in there."
Suddenly, I realized that I was in Israel, and I began to cry out, "Oh, Israel, Israel, come to the Lord." Then I
immediately realized that I had been in country after country all over the world and found the land in the
same condition.
In each country I would cry out, "Judgment is coming, judgment is coming - prepare, prepare!" People would
walk up to me and say, "Don't be ridiculous. Judgment has already come. Can't you see? Look at the land!"
Each time this would happen, I would see a vision of bombs falling on the land and I would declare, "No, this
is but a warning." Then I would repeat, "Judgment is coming - judgment is coming -prepare - prepare!."
This took place across America, France, Italy, Canada, Switzerland, Africa, England, virtually every country in
the world.
I asked the Lord why the pilgrims seemed totally incognizant of the condition and need of the people. He told
me, "It's because of the mindset of the church. My people think they are going to get out before things get too
bad. So, instead of concern for the lost, they are thinking about getting out!"
Through the Angel of the White Horse, the Angel of the Red Horse, and through the instrumentality of the vision I just
shared, I was instructed three times to tell you - Prepare - Judgment is coming. You must prepare! The Bible says:
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be alarmed and afraid? Shall misfortune occur or evil [as
punishment] and the Lord has not caused it? (Amos 3:6 Amp.) (emphasis added)
The fire in the soil speaks of judgment by fire. Jesus said, "I have come to cast fire upon the earth, how I wish that it
were already kindled!" (Luke 12:49)
These mighty things that are coming must not be construed as arbitrary acts of mischief by Satan. Yes, the Bible does
tell us that in the end times Satan would come with great fury as he knows his time is short. But even this, the greatest
of his attacks against mankind, is still under the government of God. In the very end, it is God's wrath being poured out.
The book of Revelation is not the book of the revelation of Satan, but the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Yet in it, we learn
how Satan becomes an instrument in one last hope that in tribulation, they might repent, and God could heal them.
The book of Revelation is also an understanding of the Lord's process of purging the earth with fire. Eight times Amos
spoke of God's judgment coming as fire. He uttered things like (Amos 5:6),... "He rush down like fire upon the house of
Joseph and devour it." And like (Amos 1:7), "I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its strongholds."
Although fire will be a part of the judgment, this allusion to fire is of a divine nature resulting in a purging judgment. This
will take place when the cup of sin is full. When every alternative for remedy has been exhausted, He has no choice but
to judge.
In Amos the eighth chapter, verse 2-8, we see the Lord foretelling the judgment that is going to come upon Israel. The
first two times Amos pleaded on Israel's behalf, God relented, It says that He was virtually comforted because of the
intercession on Israel's behalf. The third time, however, the Lord left no room for intercession. Judgment was set, and the
door of mercy was closed.
The Bible lists specific reasons for judgment to be issued upon a land. The Lord is saying of America that she is guilty of
every one and more. If the Lord had judged America one hundred year ago, He would have been just. But He has
extended mercy instead. Thus, we should be deeply appreciative of the extra time we've been allowed.
It is important to understand however, that the Lord is not judging America for the wickedness of the wicked alone. The
Lord's change is part of the problem as well. As I will share, the Righteous Judge is dealing with the self-serving
wickedness of the church as well as the world.
There will be a point in His dealings when He will set His church apart, just as He did Israel while He judged Egypt.
When He does this, we will see a great manifestation of His glory through His people, those who have been pruned and
chiseled by fire.
We must repent, church, and cleanse our badly stained garments. WE are being called to show mercy and acts of
righteousness where we have only taken an apathetic stand in the past. We must learn to take responsibility for our
failures, seek the Lord's healing, and do His will. Who knows? Perhaps we can stand before our wonderful Lord someday
with some small measure of fruit to thank Him for all He has done for us.
God deeply loves His people. It's not an easy thing for Him to watch us live through all these coming difficulties. That's
why He is saying, "Draw near - prepare - let Me heal your wounds."
Why should the Lord say to His church as He has to the nations:
For thus says the Lord: Your hurt is incurable and your wound is grievous. There is none to plead your cause. For
the pressing together of [your wound you have no healing device], no blinding plaster. (Jer. 30:12 13 Amp.)
There is a cure for the wound of the church. It's a life lived in utter devotion to our Saviour. Having truly found His heart
and learning to love and respect His ways, we can live selflessly for people.
Turn away from the destruction of the world upon your soul. Lovers of the world will be judged with the world. Come to His
resting place, hide in Him, know Him, love Him, and you'll be saved and used to His glory in ways beyond the
imagination

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
WHY JUDGMENT?
In the last chapter, I shared two experiences I had on the coming judgments of the nations. The first was March 31; the
second occurred June 1st and foretold the coming of the Red Horse.
In this chapter, I am going to explain the eight major reasons for this coming judgment. Each one can be found in the
book of Amos. It was by Divine instruction that I found my answers to both the vision and the visitation in the book of
Amos and in the book of Joel. Consequently, it is primarily out of the book of Amos that I give this portion of the
message. Although other prophets mentioned the Lord's judgment as being a "Divine Fire", no other prophet used this
terminology so frequently as Amos. However, a scripture found in Jeremiah lends itself as a strong word to awaken the
understanding concerning our nation.
God's Word to America:
My wound is grievous and incurable. But I said, Surely this sickness and suffering and grief are mine, and I must
endure, tolerate, and bear them. (Jer. 10:19 Amp.)
It is for the following reasons that we are spoken of as incurable and are called on to bear the suffering of our sickness.
~God's Law Despised~
They have despised and rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept His commandments. (Amos 2:4b)
The nations of the world are guilty of this. If only God's Word were loved instead of hated. But, how can we as a nation of
God's children wonder about the world, when we cherry-pick what we will like and what we will disregard. if the church
can't find it in her heart to cherish the entirety of God's counsel, the total dimension of His revealed Word, then we cannot
ask the world to regard it. To love His promises yet disregard His commandments is cherry picking, a sort of taking what
looks sweet and leaving what looks sour.
If we loved the Word of God, we would carefully obey it. In so doing, the sinner would learn to respect His Word and
eventually many more would come to love it through Christ. Yet, in disobeying it, in whatever measure this is true, we
have all despised it. Thus, we have perverted the land. One scripture makes the Lord's stand on this issue so clear:
If my people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from
their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal there land. (II Chron. 7:14)
A sluggard does not plow in season, so at harvest time he looks and finds nothing Prov. 20:4 (NIV)
He is not talking to the sinner here. He is talking to His own. Our land is sick with the cancer of sin, and cancer without a
cure kills. The church has the cure, but she won't use it. So the cancer is eating the land to utter decay and ruin.
Oh, Church! What will it take for the Lord to bring us to tears over our nations? Won't someone hear Him, believe, and
take action? The action of fulfilling the just requirements of the revealed will of God found in His Word? If not, at least
prepare yourselves and your families. Time is running out. Judgment is only five minutes away!
~Slavery~
I will not reverse the punishment of it or revoke My word concerning it; because [as slave traders] they carried away
captive the whole Jewish population. (Amos 1:6b Amp.)
There are two major groups to whom America still owes a debt that she has spent little to repay, and as concerning one
of these groups, Canada is equally as guilty.
The first in America is the Native American, in Canada, the Indian. You might say we have never made slaves out of the
Indian nations. Look again. From the time the white man embarked on the shores of North America, these people have
been treated in inhuman ways. Look at the reservations and inner cities where they have been driven. Notice the chains?
Oh, they are not around their necks, their wrists, or ankles. They are around their minds, hearts, and souls.
They are in every conceivable way, chains of dehumanization, degradation, and poverty. Our ancestors came here to
establish a "Zion", a New Jerusalem. Somehow, wires got crossed, and instead of winning America with the Word, we
sought to win it with things that kill: guns, whiskey, and treaties we had no intention of keeping. We took their land, but
that wasn't the worst of what we took. WE took their dignity, and we've never given it back. We wiped out whole tribes in
the name of progress. Then we decided to uproot whole nations from their land and put them into what we would call
reservations.
A just weight and balance are the Lords: All the weight of the bag are his work. Prov. 16:11
It wasn't until 1879 that a judge by the name of Elmer Dundy saw beyond a man's skin and his ways and into his soul.
An Indian chief by the name of Standing Bear carried his dead son into Omaha from out of state so that he might bury
him with his ancestors. While weeping, he stood before this judge, telling him to relate to his own heart if it were his son.
The whole scenario so touched Judge Dundy that for the first time he realized that these people have feelings and
reasoning powers not unlike our own.
As a result, he was instrumental in changing national recognition of the Native American by issuing an edict as follows:
"Indians are persons within the meaning of the law."
The are not savages without souls. They are people. They have dreams and aspirations and a desire for identity deep
down inside that most bury where their hope has been buried, in the grave of hopelessness.
Few people can understand what we have done to these precious people that God loves.
The Indian's life expectancy is about 65% of the white man's in the same country. Why? Drugs, alcohol, and murders are
the three major reasons. If that's as far as you look, it looks like it's their problem. Look further. What are the reasons for
the above? Grief is number one. Yes grief, and for several reasons. For two hundred years, generation upon generation
has known the slavery of dehumanization, mothers being separated from their babies, children growing up never knowing
their fathers. One of the greatest cultural problems among them is the now seemingly inherent inability to bond,
something only Jesus can restore. Break down the family, and you break down the nation. They are in short, grieving the
loss of dignity, identity, love, and hope. In grieving, they have become bitter and self-destructive. It can be likened to the
picture of an abused child becoming an abusive adult.
For ten years, I have wept bitter and agonizing tears for these people. They have been the Lord's tears - weeping for their
pain. Many, I'm sure, can recall the commercial where the Indian is moving down the river in his canoe with tears in his
eyes over the litter that covers the land. For ten years, I have seen Jesus dressed in Indian garb, rowing down the rivers
of Indian garb, rowing down the rivers of Indian nations in North America, weeping over the human souls that have been
treated as litter because their skin is red.
Today, He is going to move among the hundreds of nations of these precious people bringing revival, first to their souls
through salvation and then to their hope, their families, and nations. Jesus is going to give them the dignity we haven't.
One of the international miracles that will mark this move of God is that millions of Indian people are going to be saved,
and multitudes will be used in marvelous ways interglobally. My daughter Ricci saw in a vision, crosses suddenly going
up in reservations all over North America.
But, North America, judgment is sweeping your shores for the cruel tyranny over the human soul.
The second group is the African American.
Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in
liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great
civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final
resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and
proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate - we cannot consecrate - we
cannot hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it,
far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say
here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall
not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (emphasis
author)
This address was given in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln. Reread the last section.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth.
The war that this address responded to was to free the African American people from slavery. The war was thought to
have been won at the time of this speech. Abraham Lincoln would have had no way of knowing that these people would
still be fighting this war in the 1990's.
You might say we don't have slaves today. Oh, dear Christian, open your eyes. The chains around these people are as
real as though they were still being kept as illiterate slaves on plantations. They are still fighting for equality. A black
man, by and large, has little more respect in America today than he did 60 years ago. They are not angry without a
cause. Young people are still fighting for respect and equality on our college campuses, in the job market, and in our
public schools. There are places in this nation where there is still racial discrimination going on. I have ministered in the
South where whole cities are firmly established on the principle, "equal, but separate". But, the equal is anything but
equal.
Secondly, the "separate" is prejudice. If your skin happens to be black, you feel it twenty-four hours a day in all the
spoken and unspoken words by the white race. Yet, this is as common in churches as anywhere else you would go. It
doesn't occur everywhere, but it shouldn't be anywhere and certainly not to the degree it is.
People question me as to what I think we owe these two races for the wrongs committed against them. I tell them, it
doesn't matter what I might think we owe anyone. What matters is what the Lord is saying we owe.
How can you repay the price of innocent blood? The Lord spoke one time in the depths of incessant prayer, "The blood of
my black people is crying out to Me from the ground." Further, He is saying," I'm about to answer that cry." It is the
innocent blood that concerns the Lord. It is the wretched mentality of any group of people that can justify any kind of
abuse, physical, or emotional, on any race of people because of the color of their skin, or lack of understanding of their
ways.
America is still keeping these people, as a whole, in bondage. There are those who have squeezed out and proven
themselves but perhaps two-thirds still fight hopelessness in light of the overwhelming mountains of racial prejudice. The
Lord is saying "Help them break their chains." He isn't saying to do it all for them. That would be as disgraceful as what
we've already done. Just help them. Identify with them instead of judging them.
Prejudice is in the soil of this land. It operates against many cultures and many people. Some find it easier to rise above
than others, but none have lived under the tyranny of prejudice like those two groups, except perhaps the Jews, None of
it can be justified.
The Lord promised:
I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the Fathers upon the children. (Deut. 5:9)
Everything we do has a reciprocal effect. How many of us have seen our children suffer the consequences of our sin? We
don't want it to be so, yet it happens because there are spiritual laws that are in effect, and always will be. If we don't
repent, and as a result our children fall into the same trap or pattern, then why do we think that the consequences won't
perpetuate along with the sin?
We must actively engage to reverse the sin and the left over consequences of those sins against people, or we will fit into
the same category as the lawyers of old of whom the Lord said:
Woe to you, the lawyers, also! For you load men with oppressive burdens hard to bear, and you do not personally
[even gently] touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you are rebuilding and repairing the
tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed (destroyed). So you bear witness, and give your full approval and
consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they actually killed them, and you rebuild and repair monuments to them.
(Luke 11:46-48 Amp.)
This is a principle. If we don't reverse the sin, we are in effect agreeing to the sin. There is no room for indifference to
these issues.
That doesn't alleviate the responsibility upon the Indian and the black people to do their part in seeking God through
Jesus Christ and to do their part in the restoration among their people. but for this sin, the hardest judgment will come,
as it always does, to the oppressor.
~A Vision for African Americans~
As she gazed intently at the sight before her, she saw a black man in his late 20's standing by a railway blowing a
trumpet. The train looked typical to the 1930's and was full of black passengers. The young trumpeter was
wearing sun glasses and light weight clothes as though prepared for a warm summer's day.
"Be not enslaved to the things in the yesteryear. Put on a new robe - walk in a new light. I go before you to
prepare the way. Look not to the left or the right. Keep your eyes blinded to the things the world offers. Keep
your eyes on the Giver of life and light, and all you need to be restored and satisfied will be yours. For I am
coming soon for a holy people, a people set apart from the world. How do you expect to take part in the things
I've prepared for you if you have one foot in the things of yesteryear, with the other foot in the world today?"
Cried the Spirit of the Lord.
This was given to my dear friend, Bonnie Daughenbaugh, in a vision in the middle of the night.
A warning for African Americans: I saw two men raised up as what looked like Islamic leaders. They had signs and
wonders operating through them, particularly in the area of healings; although these were not divine healings. They
incited hatred against the white race and promised healing for the African American.
I was given the ability to see their hearts. Their true interest was the wealth of the black man. After healings would be
manifested, they would take up offerings. Their followers would fill the bucket with their hard-earned income.
God through Jesus Christ is the only answer to all people everywhere. He will liberate those who are of a willing heart.
But all alike must forget the ways of yesterday and move forward.
There is going to be an unprecedented move among both Native Americans (Indians) and African Americans by the Holy
Spirit in evangelism and healing of these two nations. But to be a part of it, they must turn from their ways of yesterday
and take on the restorative power of Jesus. Forgive and seek victory through love and the power of the Lord's cross.
If something isn't done quickly, there is going to be a major uprising from within the black community. I saw this in 1990.
It was shortly thereafter fulfilled. However, it will be repeated if there are not dramatic changes. The power of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, in its purity and without segregation, is the only answer.
One might argue, as many have, "Since I didn't cause the problems for these or any other race, I won't take the
emotional responsibility for their reversal," To that sincere statement, I'd like to offer the following!
Imagine, if you will, that your great grandfather captured a young eaglet and put it into a cage. His desire was to have the
magnificent beauty of this bird in his living room, not knowing that eagles, although one of the cleanest and most
majestic birds in their natural environment, are one of the dirtiest in captivity.
Soon, after, your great grandfather passed away, leaving the eagle to your grandfather. Likewise, your grandfather passed
away, leaving the mature eagle to your father.
Before long you marry, and your father decides he no longer wants this messy bird, so he gives it to you. A short time
later, when walking through your living room, you pass by the eagle and for the first time, notice its condition. It looks as
if it is dying of sadness. Deep in your heart you know its only hope is freedom.
You didn't put the eagle into captivity, but the question now remains, "Will you enter into its pain, identify with its plight,
and set it free?"
Will you? Can we not all see the various races of humanity, not the least of which are the Native- and African-Americans,
which are in generational captivity, as we see this eagle to be? Seeing their captivity, will we enter into their pain, identify
with them in their battle, and walk with them as a brother, working together until we see the chains of imprisonment
bliterated? If we will, we can hope to help the wounded!
~Abortion~
Because the Ammonites have ripped up women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border. (Amos
1:13b Amp.)
The courts and the nation did everything within human power to legalize abortion. When man won't or can't fight for the
innocent, God will. Hundreds of thousands of little babies had no say against their murdering parents, doctors and press
agents who were all holding hands with the system that approved abortion. But baby had a very personal audience with
"The Most High". His response was, "Come to me, little one- I'll yet vindicate you."
What effect will the abortion bias have on America if, in fact, it remains legal? It really doesn't matter if we believe in a
woman's right to kill her unborn infant or not. It doesn't matter what reasons or excuses we might have for the stand we
hold. What we believe is going to have nothing to do with what the Lord will ultimately do with what He believes.
Man's hand assaults the flinty rock and lays bare the roots of the mountains. He tunnels through the rock; his
eyes see all its treasures. Man does not comprehend its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living. (Job
28:9, 10, 13, NIV)
There the [captive] prisoners rest together; they hear not the taskmakers voice. (Job 3:18 Amp)
The Word hands down a principle of God's ways. It teaches that we are given choices and the opportunity to make wise
decisions. One response will afford us greater kingdom realities and corresponding protection from the Lord, while the
opposing response will cause His protective covering to be removed, and we will begin to learn more about Satan's
realities. Once we have headed down this path of darkness and choose to stay on it, God will warn and plead with us and
attempt to intercede with us before serious disaster strikes. However, if we persist in serving the enemy, even from a
distance, there is a day when all interventions stop. At that point, Jesus will say that the master that we have chosen will
now have complete rule over us. Hell's fury can then be released, and God will do nothing to oppose the choice we made.
This is how that principle will be played out in America. From 1979 to 1989 there were over 100 million abortions in the
Republic of China (most were coerced, said Christopher Smith to the House of Representatives.) That means nearly 100
million little mommies never had any say as to whether or not the little baby in their womb would be held in their arms or
ripped out of their bellies and murdered.
If America and Canada decide to legalize abortion (or in the case of America, retain that law), the day will come when we
too, will be given over to coerced abortions by the millions. If we decide to serve the murder of innocent babies with our
voices today, soon the beast will tyrannically rule over us. It's our choice.
The Lord spoke to my fried Bonnie one night, indicating, "If you (the church) don't fight for the rights of these unborn
babies when they are in need, who will fight for you when you are in need?" Although I have not quoted it word for word,
this is in fact, the dynamics of the impact He made. Many months later we were in prayer together regarding the abortion
issue when she received a vision. She saw smoke coming out of the Lord's nostrils and immediately knew it was God's
wrath. From the depths of her inner being, she cried out, "Weep, weep, weep for your very lives."
I share these instances to point out that I'm not the only one the Lord is speaking to so strongly. Perhaps He is even now
speaking to you. We must as the church fight this issue with our votes, money, prayers, and physical involvement. Our
only hope is to effectively bury this issue thus establishing two pro-life nations by law, America and Canada.
~Greed~
...they have sold the strictly just and uncompromisingly righteous for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals; they
pant after the sight of the poor [reduced to such misery that they will be] throwing dust of the earth on their heads
[in token of their grief]. (Amos 2:6-7 Amp.)
This is reflective of greed in the church first, then greed in the nation. Now, I'm going to knock over some golden cows,
but we all need to understand why judgment is coming.
When a man can live a life of luxury and that lifestyle absorbs most of his income, there is something wrong. Its name is
greed. There are sufficient enough teachings within the body justifying this flagrancy that as a church we can do it
without guilt. That is as long as we give the Lord a tip of 10% for doing a good job of blessing us.
There would be nothing wrong with that lifestyle if the world were completely evangelized, and no one in it lacked for their
needs. But, that utopia doesn't exist. Consequently, neither should ours. Cain was the first one that cried out to God,
"Am I my brother's keeper?" He was the same one that, after killing his brother, wanted to make sure God would protect
him so none of his other brothers would kill him.
When we spend money on our own lusts and passions, things we don't need, and we don't help the needy, we have just
sold him for a "pair of sandals". When we know there are those in our own cities who don't have homes and who are living
on the streets, even with children, and we own a 3,000 square-foot home and are doing nothing for the needy, we're in
sin. We have just sold the needy for a "pair of sandals".
The examples I could use are endless, but the point is made. New Testament standards in this area are much higher
than the Old. New Testament is all. (Acts 2:44-47 and 4:32-5:10) Why? Because Jesus gave all. He didn't just tell the
twelve disciples to sell everything and give to the poor and come follow Him. That was for everyone with an ear to hear,
anyone that wanted to be His disciple.
Yet, I'm not saying you're in sin if you have a nice home and car, etc. What I am saying is that the gospel message is
not being carried through down to our pocket books. The church is still striving for wealth and fame instead of seeking
after the lost and fulfilling the call to mercy ascribed to us in Matthew 26:32-46. Jesus is saying of the Laodicean Church
of today:
You say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy and I am in need of nothing; you do not realize and
understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked. (Rev. 3:16Amp.)
Jesus further instructed them to buy salve to put on their eyes that they would truly see (See Rev. 3:18), and He
chastised them for their lukewarmness, and said, "I will spew you out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:17) Then after all those rough
reproofs, He added, "Those whom I love, I tell their faults." (Rev. 3:19)
God is going to bring the focus of materialism that pervades the church to an end. In turn, we're going to get our eyes on
true gold and jewels, which are human souls. The North American continent, saved or unsaved, is going to hear that the
Lord is not at all pleased with the greed that currently rules us. I say this, not in judgment, but love!
Understand, the Lord loves blessing His own as long as the blessings don't own us. Right now it looks more like the
blessings own us, than the Lord. Our very lives and manner of living, while others so severely lack, is proof enough that
God is justified in His judgment.
Let us turn from the demands of material and carnal wealth and give to the church, the poor, and the needy. Give for the
saints. Give to the Lord! In the hour that judgment comes, He will hide us in the shelter of His wing, and in the peace of
His presence. You will not know fear by day nor terror by night. If we learn mercy in fair times we won't have to learn it in
hard times. As we have mercy on others, God will have mercy on us.
Hear-please hear-judgment is coming. If all this is true for the church, how much more is it true for the world? Greed is
the underlying factor of most sin within every nation. It gives reason enough to do anything to anyone, including murder,
to have its unquenchable desire satisfied.
God grants wealth to bring healing to the world. Greed perverts the blessing and destroys the nations in order to have
more wealth. How can we wonder why God's judgments must come?
If greed is a problem in the Church, how much more is it a problem with the world. God is soon going to deal against it!
~The Judicial System~
Hate the evil and love the good and establish justice in the [court of the city's] gate. It may be that the Lord, the
God of hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. (Amos 5:15 Amp.)
America tried to form a system that would protect the people. The only problem is that the system is more perverted than
many of the people it is supposed to be prosecuting. Furthermore, the people within the system have greatly aided in its
increasing decline from a more puritanical judicial system to one of degradation. Of course, not all of those people within
the system are a hopeless measure of injustice, but a large percentage are.
Many are the reasons for the decline. I'll mention just a few. One loss which was suffered by sinful humanity when
separated from God was discernment. It is impossible to have an unregenerated heart and mind, which are able to
consistently discern truth. When a soul is cut off from the very source of wisdom, how can it make wise decisions? It
isn't that many don't want to make wise decisions, they simply don't have the ability.
Diverse and deceitful weights are shamefully vile and abhorrent to the Lord, and false scales are not good.
Prov 20:23 (Amp.)
Another reason is that Christians tend to shy away from government jobs, including major areas of the judicial system.
Or, if they do get involved, before long, they compromise their Christian standards and are of little value to the Lord for His
work to be done through them.
Then, of course, we can always look to find the extreme, in this case, "extreme perversion". There are those whose
standards are so perverted they are actually dangerous in their positions. Unfortunately, this category is increasing at an
alarming rate. These are people who are involved in witchcraft, sorceries, and Satan worship. They are not going to be
real zealots for a pure justice they don't even understand.
Finally, working in harmony with God's plan, the only perfect justice is to come through the church, and that won't
happen until we are ruling with Christ. However, had the church been on her knees, the Lord would have had much more
to interject in the affairs of our judicial system. Furthermore, if more Christians would have gotten involved physically and
mentally, integrating into the many crucial areas of need, and kept their righteous standard up, things would be in a
much better posture than they are today.
What we have as a consequence, is a governmental and judicial system that is being headed by Satan, and it is ripe for
judgment. The Word states:
Speak every man the truth with his neighbor; render the truth, and pronounce judgment or verdict that makes for
peace in [the courts at] your gates. (Zech. 8:16 Amp.)
This command was born out of the evidence to the contrary, as is seen in the Psalms:
How long will you magistrates or judges judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? (v. 5)-The magistrates and
judges know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness [of complacent satisfaction]; all the
foundations of the earth the [fundamental principles upon which rests the administration of justice] are shaking.
(Psalms. 82:2 & 5 Amp.)
It is beyond the average American to know how corrupt the system really is. It is sufficient to know, God says the very
foundations of the system are shaking. We would never be foolish enough to build a home on an active fault line. We
would never get the foundation laid to build a house upon if an earthquake were actively in process. Before the first brick
would be laid, the chances are you would be devoured amidst the breaking earth. Yet, this is the very picture the Lord is
trying to paint. The justice system is shaking as though it had been laid on an active fault line, which of course, is the
case. Anything that has not been built on the rock of truth doesn't stand a chance of survival in the process of God's
judgment. Yet it is here that we've put our trust.
The issues that blatantly strike out at the righteousness The Lord requires are known to all of us on the surface level. It
would take experience or deep probing to get a heart grip on the potential effects of these issues.
The platform of abortion is currently one that strikes the central nerve of North American society. This issue is being
made the crucial and pinnacle basis by which our new government is to be elected. Politicians are campaigning, not on
their qualities or wide variety of qualifications, which would distinguish their overall ability for leadership, but on whether or
not they believe we should have a right to kill babies before they are born. The issue of abortion has become a
tremendous polarization of the people in America and Canada. That issue is intricately interwoven in our judicial system.
It doesn't take long in scouting out this country to find many children who have been abused by the court system, from
physical to sexual abuse. The courtrooms, Child Protection Services, and institutions, which have been set up for the
protection of these abused children, afford little refuge. It has been not only my experience, but the experience of
multitudes of others who have been forced to share the same heartbreaking course, that even with sufficient evidence, the
courts lean toward favoring the abuser over the abused. The Lord said of these magistrates that they are blinded by the
darkness of complacent self-satisfaction. Power can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.
Abused women and rape victims are other groups that feel the sting of prejudice. The symbol of blind justice is a
mockery today. Though judges are blind to righteousness, they are not blind to race, sex, and age, as well as social
status. These elements can weigh heavily on the verdict in a negative respect if it's within their lines of prejudice. With
this distorted vision, they blind true justice on behalf of the needy. The Lord said that they don't even know how dark and
without understanding their vision is.
Yet the church should know. We are consistently seeing criminals getting off with little or no sentencing. There are
people in the Mafia who don't even fear the law, but mock it. There are lawyers who make it their specialty to get people
off, whom they know are guilty. They manipulate through loopholes in the books and then gloat on Dan Rather's "60
Minutes" over their victories.
As the victim becomes ever more the victim and the violator the winner in our courts, the church should recognize
something needs to be done. We need to get involved with our prayers and lobbying groups and take on positions that
count, and can make a difference. We need to prayerfully and financially support those who are trying to fight for justice.
The Bible further states:
Do justice to the weak (poor) and fatherless; maintain the rights of the needy. Deliver the poor and needy; rescue
them out of the hand of the wicked. (Psalms 82:3-4 Amp.) (emphasis added)
. . .pronounce the judgment or verdict that makes for peace. (Zech. 8:16)
What is the verdict that makes for peace? It is the verdict that has honored truth and protected the innocent. What we
see at the lower levels of the courtrooms is virtually minute compared to what we see at the higher levels. The higher the
power structure, the more power one has over a wider span of people. So the umbrella of influence has substantially
increased until one judge has the power to swing the country this way or that.
Laws are being misrepresented, even misquoted, to the general public until black has been painted as white, wrong is
represented as right. The Lord says the system is built on a foundation that is trembling with instability through
falsehood.
The angel said one thing over and over again so I wouldn't miss it-"Judgment is sure judgment is coming at
midnight-the hour is now II.-55 (p.m.).Judgment is sure."
He would have given us peace if we would have made the way for it by obeying His
commandments-protecting the innocent, helping the needy, delivering the oppressed, and
bringing forth justice. But few have had ears to hear. It's five minutes until
midnight. Are you ready for the hour of judgment? If you are saved by His blood,
walking in purity, if you're a person of prayer and you know the Word, then you're
undoubtedly walking in the ways of God. If not, you're not ready!
~Sexual Sins~
And a man and his father will have sexual relations with the same maiden, so that My holy name is profaned. (Amos 2:7
Amp.)
I have overthrown some among you as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. (Amos 4:11 Amp.)
~Homosexuality~
Close to twenty years ago while on a rather lengthy fast, I was in prayer for America. Suddenly my eyes were opened to
a vision:
I saw a map of the United States. It was as if I were looking down upon it from high in the sky. Stretched from one end of
it to the other was a "dragon". Its head was on the West Coast and its tail was on the East. It looked like a dragon you
might see in pictures from the Orient. I asked the Lord what it was, and His reply was, "The Spirit of Sodomy". It is the
ruling spiritual monarch over America. Its name is "Rothshon" which means "head of the goats".
While ministering in Canada in 1990, 1 asked the Lord for one word for Canada and quite frankly would have expected
just about anything but what I received. I heard a voice cry out from the very heavens:
"Oh, Sodom and her sister Gomorrah-how long shall I suffer with you?" Then He spoke to me in my spirit: "If America is
Sodom, then Canada is Gomorrah and both are ripe for judgment. Tell them- -Prepare!"
The major sin they will both be judged for is every hideous variety of sexual sin imaginable. I am not going to go into all
the outrageous perversions that accompany homosexuality. There is literature available that gives in-depth
understanding. It is not just a harmless alternative lifestyle. It is, in fact, one of the most militant and brutal moves of
perversion in North America today. I also want to note that according to C.A.S.E. many school systems in America are
using books that teach children about homosexuality and other forms of illicit sex as "recommended reading" for grades
as early as kindergarten.
I want to reiterate here that while God hates the sin of homosexuality, He loves the homosexual and wants them to be
freed of the bondage of that sin as much as He wants anyone free and born into the kingdom of God.
~Other Perversions~
Incest is rampant, perpetuating itself through the generations. It's a sickness that destroys human lives. Not that it's a
physical illness; it's a spiritual sickness. It virtually sabotages every life it touches. It imposes untold suffering on children
that have little control over their abuser. The irony of it is, the ones who could help them often don't.
Prostitution, pornography, adultery, and promiscuity all are cancers eating away at every culture. Sexual sin of any kind
not only does emotional damage, but it often causes various forms of physical sickness that affects the innocent as well
as the guilty. It erodes every level of human existence within a society. In addition, it opens the door to every kind of
Satanic oppression.
Next to the religious affinity, the sexual drive is the strongest force in a person. Bend that part of a person to any degree
of perversion, and you control them to that same degree. Of course, the reverse is true when there is sexual purity in
mind, soul, and body. If Jesus owns that part of a person, the major battle for that saint's eternal strength in
righteousness is won. If Satan is the personification of the carnal man, then sexual perversion is the highest form of its
expression. Only God knows the devastating toll this one sin alone has had on North America's children and adults alike.
myriads of heartbreaks and shattered lives it has left in its fiendish trail tells the story well enough.
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, [and] nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was
broken down. Then I saw, [and] considered [it] well: I looked upon [it, and] received instruction. {considered...:
Heb. set my heart} Prov 24: 31 - 32
When I first saw the vision of the spirit of Sodomy nearly twenty years ago, America still had a sense of shame, a sort of
puritanical honor she was trying to uphold. The blatancy that typifies this nation today did not then exist. It does now
because of minimal intervention by the church against these sexual atrocities. However, before judgment is fully realized,
we will long for today's standard as one would long for an absent best friend. The vile extent of perversion will compare to
the day Sodom and Gomorrah died.
~Sodom and Gomorrah~
In their sexual permissiveness, their lusts owned them. Homosexuality was the accepted lifestyle. In the drunkenness of
their lusts, they knew no restraint. Everyone was open game. If they couldn't have what they wanted by asking, they took
it by force. Consequently, rape was a common problem. When the angels came to deliver Lot, gangs of men came after
them and were willing to kill in order to rape them.
This leads us to the next point, sex with demons. The aforementioned ambassadors were angelic beings. Yet, the fact
that they were spirit beings in no way hindered the aggression in the hearts of those perverted men, which tells us how
common this sort of practice was in those days.
In addition, the Bible clearly indicates the massive size of these gangs coming together to rape two angels. In this story,
you see the following points about the "days of Sodom".
1. Homosexuality
2. Gang rapes
3. Sex with demons
4. Violence
5. Murder
Ezekiel lists six other facts about Sodom for which it was judged (Ezk 16:48-50)
1. Pride
2. Overabundance
3. Prosperous Ease
4. Forsook the needy
5. Haughtiness
6. Many abominable offenses
Jesus said that in the day of His return and at the time of final judgment, it will be as in the "days of Sodom". Our streets
will be filled with every kind of perversion. The question will be asked, "Who then will be safe?" The answer will be,
"Those who are redeemed by the blood of our dear Jesus, people living pure and holy lives, who love the Lord and love
His Word."
The Bible says, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." (Matt. 24:12) One version reads,
the love of the great body shall grow cold."
Because of lawlessness, the heart will grow indifferent. Everywhere one looks, it will abound in open view until the mind
becomes callous through overexposure. Christians who are not wholly given to the Lord and His purity will become defiled
by multiplied lawlessness, grow weak, and eventually fall away.
Those who choose purity will be vexed by that to which they are exposed, but will grow ever stronger in holiness, seeking
to redeem souls for Jesus.
By the time His judgment has fully come, His church will agree that God has indeed been long-suffering with man. Our
hearts cry will be, "Come, Lord Jesus. Come."
~Persecutions of the Saints~
He pursued his brother Jacob with the sword, corrupting his compassions and casting off all pity .. (Amos 1:llb
Amp.)
The ultimate issue that will press the Lord to release His judgment upon the land will be the persecution of the saints.
One might say it will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Zechariah wrote, "For he who touches you touches the
apple of My eye," (Zech. 2:8 Amp.) and "I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great
wrath [against her enemies]." (Zech. 8:2 Amp.) Further, the Psalmist wrote, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the
death of His saints." (Ps. 116:15)
The first promise we see is that of His identification with us in suffering. It matters to the Lord when we are caused pain,
affliction, and sorrow by another. His identification with us in suffering is so complete that He even says, "What you do to
one of these, you do to Me." When He addressed Paul on the road to Damascus, Jesus asked him why he was
persecuting Him. It wasn't in Paul's heart to persecute the Son of the Living God. He thought he was vindicating God by
persecuting these impostors called Christians. Yet, the Lord's identification with the saints in their suffering was and still
is absolute. It is as a result of identification that He is able to impart grace, enabling us both to forbear and ultimately
prevail in victory.
We see then, that when the wicked afflict the righteous for righteousness sake, Jesus remains in the midst of His own in
total identification. His Word records it like this:
In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he who is [spiritually] feeble and
stumbles among them in that day [of persecution] shall become [strong and noble] like David. (Zech. 12:8 Amp.)
The second promise is that of defending His elect. It will be a righteous act to justify His godly ones by the means of
judgment. If by any means the word can bring a sinner to the saving knowledge of Christ by the testimony of His
persecuted church it would bring Him great pleasure. However, for those who refuse to repent scorning His Lordship, it
will be judgment. This is a divine stroke worthy of the Lord alone.
~Idolatry~
We don't have to look far to see the reality of idolatry in the land: Mormonism, Jehovah Witnesses, Hinduism, Satanism,
and the New Age Movement, which is slowly ingesting all the rest. The list is endless. Then we have what the world calls
the "church", those of the Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans, now even Baptists, that can't make up their minds
whether the Bible is the inherent Word of God or not. I suppose it's "to each his own" as we say in the Midwest. Man's
illustrious mind is now so expanded that he thinks he can decide truth over the Holy Spirit. Does that make the mind the
idol, or the heart? My heart hurts for those preposterous theologians who worship what is in the skull, rather than its
Creator, and call it God.
Humanism flows like mighty rivers through every vein of the church. Only those who have been sealed away with the
"Majesty" Himself, have drunk of His cup and truly eaten of His bread; those who have walked into the inner court and
have heard the secret of His counsel when His Words tasted like honey out of the rock and burned like fire in their bones-
those who have opened their spiritual perception and have seen Him and in seeing Him have cried, "Woe is me. I am
undone, a man of unclean lips dwelling in the midst of an unclean people." Only those who have bowed under the
holiness of His presence, realizing that He alone is the creator and maintainer of all that is, and in understanding this one
paramount truth, "God is", have been subsequently raptured in the realization of His wondrous mercy; only those select
few, know in a small part how much humanism lives in the church.
[It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to search their own glory [is not] glory." Prov 25:27 KJ
For all the idolatry of self, greed, pride, and every idol that has a religion, mysticism, or cult bowing to it, North America
is ripe for judgment. The ax is being laid to the root of the tree.
Man has ripped the covers off of idolatry and exposed the nakedness of their souls to open shame. The Lord said:
... neither shall you use magic, omens, or witchcraft [or predict events by horoscope or signs and lucky days].
Turn not to those [mediums] who have familiar spirits, or to wizards; do not seek them out or be defiled by them. I
am the Lord your God. (Lev. 19:26 & 31 Amp.)
When the people [instead of putting their trust in God] shall say to you, Consult for direction mediums and wizards
who chirp and mutter, should not a people seek and consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of
the living? (Is. 8:19 Amp.)
Yet, in rebellion to the God that created them, they say there is not a God. Then turning around, as though they couldn't
hear the words of their own mouths, they bow down and worship the god of their own making. This they call wisdom?
When they could consult the Creator of all that exists, they turn instead to a dead tea leaf or paper cards with no
capacity to think and ask, "What is my future? Where am I going? What is my hope?" Again, not realizing that a thinking
creature is asking an inanimate object to speak wisdom.
When one turns away from the living God who knows your name, the amount of hairs on your head, the day you were
born and the day you will die, he has turned away from wisdom and in his deception is given over to every foolish thing.
He is lost and without hope. His doom is hell. While he mocks at righteousness, Satan mocks at him because he knows
the day is near when this soul will be eternally his, bound in the Lake of Fire with no remedy. It is little wonder the Lord
weeps.
The land is overflowing with idolatry. Throughout His Holy Word, God says the land given to idolatry will be judged and
brought to ruin. Who can save it now, but God?
In conclusion, it is primarily for these eight sins that America and Canada are soon to feel the sword of judgment
scathing their landscape:
1. Despising God's Law

2. Slavery, primarily of
a. Indians (in Canada) and or Native Americans
b. African American
3. Abortion
4. Greed
5. The injustice of the judicial system
6. Sexual sins (including)
a. Homosexuality
b. Other perversions
7. Persecution of the saints
8. Idolatry
The truth of any one of these sins justifies the Lord, and yet it's all eight and many more besides.
God is One of infinite mercy. Yet, He is rigidly righteous. He can't deny any one part of Himself. This is not a time to wail
over the discomfort of the prophetic future. It's not a time to even consider the loss. Rather now, like never before, turn to
God with weeping and repentance. Turn with desperate need to Him, obey Him, love Him, worship Him. Serve Him by
serving humanity and get involved with the issues. Then you'll know the comfort of His presence in the storm and the joy
of His strength to face the future, confident of His tender care for you.
-PREPARE-
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
WAKE UP AMERICA
The Angel riding the White Horse cried out:
"Judgment is coming to the lovers of this world, those who are disobedient and cripplers of the children.
Come out, come out, my people, and take nothing with you but the clothes on your back and don't mourn the
loss. Only, come out of her judgment is sure; time is at an end. Tell the people, prepare, prepare!"
The Angel on the Red Horse vehemently declared.- "Nita, tell the people of the earth, prepare, prepare for the
coming of the Red Horse. He is God's wrath. He is war!" In the vision with the land aflame with judgment, I
cried out.- "The judgments of the Lord are coming, prepare, prepare!"
Wake up North America! It's time to hear the Word of the Righteous judge. It is urgent that we move out of our apathy
and prepare! Not one time in any of the four experiences that are contained in this book, was I ever told that God would
withhold His judgment for any reason. I was simply told that I was to proclaim, "Judgment is sure". We must gird
ourselves as Israel did. Eat the Passover lamb and be ready to move. I am not however, necessarily speaking of a
physical move, but a spiritual preparedness.
Judgment is coming on all nations. Time is winding down and drawing to a close. It's time for the church in North
America to realize that we are not exempt from the judgments of God just because we live here and not in a land like
China. Those who pay little regard to this message will undoubtedly not be ready when the wheel of judgment gets into
full motion. That is why I have taken the time to outline the reasons for the Lord's injunctions against us, hoping that you
would see what all is on His mind and respect it enough to believe it and prepare.
There is only one way to escape the effects of these calamities, and that is to have Jesus Christ in full strength in your
life. If you are walking close to Him, He will hide you in the pavilion of His peace, joy, and power. You'll fear no evil and in
fact, be used mightily to help others. Know the Bible, understand the nature and character of God experientially and have
a strong prayer life. Walk close to the Lord and close to the body; it will make every difference in the world as to how
you'll cope with what is about to occur.
Before we move to the warnings and then into the judgments, I want to make one more point. As I was in the heavens
with the band of angels, something else was settled in my understanding. I said earlier how I was very concerned about
the summit meeting with President Bush and Gorbachev, but was unable to follow it because I was so busy. I also
mentioned that the angel impressed upon me not to worry or be concerned about that summit meeting for my only
concern was to be with the results of the summit meeting in the sky.
It was before I could even ask him what those results were that he exclaimed that the "Red Horse", the horse of God's
wrath, was coming. I hardly had time to wonder what was decided when the angel gave me my answer, "God's Wrath".
Although that was indeed God's decision, we must remember there need be no decision for judgment made by any court,
even more certainly the Lord's court, unless there is wrong doing to justify it. So, while He sends it, we have in effect,
pulled it down upon ourselves with a magnet called sin.
~Warnings~
The following is a list of upcoming events. These are warnings that will give way to judgment! First on the church, then on
the world. God is calling every man everywhere to repent.
Sudden Terror
I'm sure many people in the body have experienced this in the last few years. Doctors call them "panic attacks". They
might be accompanied by circumstances that seem to warrant fear or anxiety. The whole world will know this monster
soon. Then terror will give way to trouble. Jesus said that even the heart would fail for terror. Many will commit suicide
when overcome by it.
Diseases
Cancers, new fevers for which we will have no immediate cure as well as other forms of diseases, which cannot be
considered plagues, will come upon the unrepentant.
Thievery
To the unrepentant, your work will be done in vain as your enemy will seem to devour it at harvest time. On a national
level we have seen this with the farmers, but it will be on every level. It's going to get worse for those who stubbornly
continue in their rebellion against our Creator and Lord.
Life Ruled By Your Enemies

Some of the unrepentant will experience total loss at the feet of their enemies, such as: false charges to defame one's
character or a position taken from one and given to his enemy, etc.
Breaking of Pride
Just when the unrepentant think they are set, their pride will be broken and all that affects their ego lost. They will be
powerless to stop it. Even so this is a loving warning to turn, humble oneself and repent. For God sets Himself against
the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
Heavens Like Brass

Again, to the unrepentant, your prayers won't get above your head. The Lord will close His ears until you humble yourself,
repent, and submit to His Lordship. The earth beneath your feet will bear no fruit, no harvest. A famine will ravish the land.
Only those who are in His hand will have rain and food sources.
Wild Beasts
There will be sudden outbreaks of animal attacks against family members, even to the destruction of life. Up to this point,
we have seen only God's warnings. You who are walking close to Him will live simply, but amply supplied. You will have
more than enough in various areas of need to enable you to give to others. This includes miracle cures for all that might
ail another, but Jesus will be the source through a purified church.
Judgments
Now we are going to move into the area of judgment, which will follow right on the heels of the warnings. I want to again
remind my reader that God loves humanity. Nothing that will be mentioned in this book will be released on even the
rebellious humanity without bringing Him much pain. He does not delight in seeing anyone suffer. But our divine parent
sends His discipline in hopes of saving some.
War
Jesus said that there will be wars and rumors of wars, but the end is not yet. War is coming to America and eventually to
Canada. I will go into greater depth regarding this at the end of the book. He says in Leviticus 26:25 that through war He
will execute vengeance upon us for breaking His covenant. That's why it's so important to repent as a nation and do what
is right before the Lord.
When war strikes, we will not be prepared, as in 1989 I saw America dumping or emptying her military out, closing many
major bases, making major cuts in military officers as well as in enlisted personnel, about one officer for every four or five
enlisted. In addition, there were major financial and armament cutbacks.
Pestilence
I saw in the vision that everyone seemed gathered or clustered into the cities. It says here in Leviticus 26:25 that God will
gather the people together in the cities, and there shall be pestilence among you. It will be at this time that the great
plagues, the communicable diseases such as we have never known in the history of mankind, will be released. The only
one who will have a cure will be the church.
Famine
By this time, there will be severe famine in the whole land. There will be bread lines that are blocks long within the cities.
We will see the most awesome lack of foodstuffs ever known. Eventually people will die of hunger by the thousands. All
will initially be rationed, until there is seemingly none left.
Cannibalism
There will be a day when that too, will be the lot of all that are still on the face of the earth. As this happens while the
church is still here, it will be in hidden places where few will know. After the church is taken, it will be in the open.
Waste Places
As I have quite a bit of detail to cover on the subject of waste places, I'll speak more on it at the end of the book in the
chapter entitled "America".
Judgment will continue to increase until the cup of North America's sin is completely dealt with. It won't take long
however, before the church is going to cleanse herself and be ready to move into full swing. When she does, she will be
set aside, so to speak, as a haven of rest that she might win the lost in troublesome times. (See the seven vials in the
Book of Revelation for details on judgments in the very end times.)
There is going to be a total economic collapse, which I'll discuss at length in the chapter, "Mystery Babylon". We won't
be wearing designer clothes or driving expensive cars, nor will we be living in big expensive homes, but those who love
the Lord and serve Him will have what they need for themselves and others.
The principle that will seem to pervade the future is as described in Amos:
It is as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him, or went into the house and leaned with his hand against the
wall and a serpent bit him. (Amos 5:19 Amp.)
One disaster will lead to another. At first, it will seem they just get one thing halfway resolved and another will ensue.
Beyond a certain point however, things will strike in machine gun fashion and there will be no remedy.
The hope of the individual will rest solely in the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Timing
The Lord revealed to me many years ago that Ronald Reagan would ecome president, after which there would be an
attempt made on his life. Following his presidency, George Bush would become president. it would be during his term in
office that America would turn, going the wrong direction. This would be a government strategy, not a sudden turn on
behalf of the American citizens. In other words, the turn isn't made because of a sudden burst of sinfulness in the people
of the nation. It will be formulated and initiated at higher levels of power. It won't be that those in authority sat down,
disseminated truth and set out to oppose it. Rather crucial decisions will be made in man's wisdom, decisions in hopes
of bringing about world peace. We are even now seeing that unfold. We will also see an absolute departure from Israel by
the United States. This will take place as we will be unable to be of help due to our own national crisis. The last thing
God told me concerning that information was that it would be as it were, to our demise.
It is as though the clay was on the wheel and the potter was already molding it. Who could stop Him? Perhaps His
church, through repentance?
The angel said, 'Judgment is sure prepare!"
There was a time when we could have turned His heart and moved Him to withhold His intent, but we waited too long, and
we crossed over the line of no return. Once this happens, He says He requires that we repent of the sins of our
forefathers and ourselves (Lev. 26:40). This must be a deep heartfelt repentance; a time of fasting and prayer, seeking
God to know and understand the sins of our forefathers in the sense of identification, not a prideful prayer like they are
bad and we are good. This way we can truly repent. We know this by the pattern that has been established in the Word.
As the prophets of old (such as Daniel and Nehemiah) have done, so must we.
Once this is completed and true repentance has been worked through, He promises He will be with us in the course of
the coming judgments. He doesn't say He will withdraw His decision, only that He will be a shelter in the storm for the
repentant.
Through the redeemed whose garments are made white, He will be most glorious. Zion will shine with the radiant glory of
the Lord, and she will go forth with singing. He will say to her:
"Shine on Zion. Stand as a tall mountain, radiant in beauty, chosen by God. I will make My own, jewels in My hand;
sparkling and radiant over the land. Though dense darkness assails the people of the earth, I will radiate in glory from My
dwelling place. I will make you as a tree of shade from the blazing sun. Many will find rest under your branches. You will
flow out to the nations as rivers of living waters that the thirsty may find drink for their weary souls. I will strengthen Mine
own. I will help you, only don't fear. As a tender Father, I will pick you up and put you in a secure place. You will be My
standard against the enemy. So now, arise in newness of life. Be radiant with the Glory of the Lord.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
WOE TO AMERICA!
A Call To Repentance
This year, (1996) while traveling from church to church speaking about the days which lay ahead, being led by the Holy
Spirit, I would speak about the vision I had in March 1990. One day while ministering in Minneapolis, I was in prayer in
my hotel room. I was seeking the Lord as to what I should minister that night. He began to deal very strongly with me. He
said, "I gave you the same vision I gave to My prophet Joel. Yet, unlike Joel did when he received the vision, you are not
properly sharing the vision calling My church to prayer and repentance." Well, I arose, picked up a copy of the vision and
my Bible and compared notes. As I did, I began to weep, both in sorrow for my failure and astonishment over the reality
of what I had been previously shown.
As strange as it may seem to some of you, I had never before realized that I had been given to see what Joel saw. That
day in September, it became so real as the fear of God began to well up within my heart and I relived what I had seen so
many years ago. At this time, the Lord brought back another vision, which He had given me in the mid-eighties. I had
been in prayer when suddenly I saw America laid out before me. This was not in my mind but an open vision. In other
words I was enveloped in the vision and living it out as a living experience. It was as tangible as an orange that I might
hold in my hand.
The vision; "It was as though I were swiftly flying over America and viewing this awful sight from the air. America had been
ravaged by what seemed to be a strange fire and famine. The very ground was mourning and lamenting over its
desolation. It seemed that the whole of America was a desolate wilderness. Fruit trees were withered from drought or
burned by fire. The grain and cornfields were laid waste and the vines were dried up. This fire had also devoured the
pastures. Water brooks and streams were dried up or had turned bitter. It looked like a nation that had been blighted by
plagues and ravaged by this strange fire! The land was groaning as it mourned over its own ruin. "
I was in such agony as the Spirit of God was upon me in deep grief that I wailed from the depths of my being. I doubled
over and just wailed like a women who would wail over the sudden news of the loss her husband and children. This lasted
for a long time. I was pale from grief for several days following this traumatic experience. Then again in 1989 and also in
1990, God, through divine visitation, showed me the war that was coming to America. I have seen the hordes come
across the land destroying and conquering. But on March 31st, of 1990, 1 saw the rest of Joel's vision, which I recorded
as follows:
My visitation March 31, 1996
I saw myself standing in the midst of several people who were warning me not to go into various countries considering the
danger. I insisted that my going was imperative, The need so outweighed the concern of danger. Subsequently, I was
walking across miles of terrain that reflected the scourging of fire. The land had been utterly wasted. Only burnt images
remained where lush trees once abounded, the soil still heaving with the purifying fire, like lava, blistering over the
landscape. Strangely enough, I seemed unaffected by the radiating heat of the ground under my feet.
I saw hundreds of pilgrims walking together in clusters. Each group seemed totally unaware of all the devastation that
surrounded them as they were on their way out of the country. I was perplexed by this as the need was so great, I
couldn't understand why they were leaving. People would continue to flow past me saying, "Don't go any further. It's too
dangerous. You'll die in there." But, even as they spoke, I could see into the cities of this country . There was looting,
rioting, and murdering. There were food shortages and terrible plagues, and darkness and terror assailed the people on
every side. As I saw this, I would nod and say to myself, "I'll be all right. They need the Lord in there. "
Suddenly, I realized that I was in Israel, and I began to cry out, "Oh, Israel, Israel, come to the Lord. " Then I immediately
realized that I had been in country after country all over the world and found the land in the same condition. In each
country I would cry out, "Judgment is coming, judgment is coming; prepare, prepare. " People would walk up to me and
say, "Don't be ridiculous, judgment has already come. Can't you see? Look at the land!" Each time this would happen, I
would see a vision of bombs falling on the land and I would declare, "No, this is but a warning." Then I would repeat,
"Judgement is coming, judgment is coming; prepare! prepare!"
This took place across America, France, Italy, Canada, Switzerland, Africa, England, virtually every country in the world.
I asked the Lord why the pilgrims seemed totally incognizant of the condition and need of the people. He told me, "It's
because of the mindset of the church. My people think they are going to get out before things get too bad. So, instead of
concern for the lost, they are thinking about getting out!
Joel recorded his vision as follows:
For a [heathen and hostile] nation [of locusts, illustrative of a human foe has invaded My land, mighty and without
number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the jaw teeth of a lioness. It has laid waste My vine [symbol of
God's people] and barked and broken My fig tree; it has made them completely bare and thrown them down; their
branches are made white. Lament like a virgin [bride] girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth [who has
died]. The field is laid waste, the ground mourns; for the grain is destroyed, the new juice [of the grape] is dried up,
the oil fails. Be ashamed, 0 you tillers of the soil; wail, 0 you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley,
because the harvest of the field has perished. The vine is dried up and the fig tree fails; the pomegranate tree, the
palm tree also, and the apple or quince tree, even all the trees of the field are withered, so that joy has withered
and fled away from the sons of men. Alas for the day! For the day of [the judgment of] the Lord is at hand, and as
a destructive tempest from the Almighty will it come. How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed and
huddle together because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment (are forsaken and
made wretched). 0 Lord, to You will I cry, for the fire has devoured the pastures and folds of the plain and the
wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field. [The fire of judgment. Even the wild beasts of the field
pant and cry to You, for the water brooks are dried up and a fire has consumed the pastures and folds of the plain.
Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on My holy mount [Zion]. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for
the day of [the judgment of the Lord is coming; it is close at hand. A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds
and of thick mists and darkness, like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains; so there comes a [heathen,
hostile] people numerous and mighty, the likes of which has never been before and shall not be again even to the
years of many generations. A fire devours before them, the fire of judgment and behind them a flame burns; [was
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and none has
escaped [the ravages of the devouring hordes]. They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up on
and into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble.
And the Lord utters His voice before His great army, for the host is very great, and [they are] strong and powerful
who executes [God's] word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can endure it? Multitudes,
multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The Lord will thunder
and roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the Lord
will be a refuge for His people and a stronghold to the children of Israel. [and to His pure and holy church].
(Author's emphasis.)
Joel saw as I saw that the trees of the field, the pastures, the plains and the wilderness had been burned by fire. The
streams of the field were dried up. He further saw how that fire burned the land before the great army of the Lord came
upon it. This was the same fire that I saw. It looked like lava, hot fiery lava blistering over the land. Every where it touched
the land was left scorched as by a forest fire. Yet, the fiery lava remained and continued to burn. This is the fire of
judgment. It may not be a literal fire. It could be famine, earthquakes, or any other form of judgment. The point the Lord
made with both Joel and myself was the terrible destruction that would be caused by His judgments if the nation would
not repent. The great army of the Lord, which is coming to America, is that of Russia and China as well as a confederacy
of other nations which will be intent on totally overcoming us. We will not have time to strike back before much
destruction will have taken place. The army will come in the twinkling of an eye. Further, we have divested ourselves of
much of our military strength and for these reasons, will be at a terrible disadvantage before our enemy. Finally and most
important of all, God will not be fighting for us. This war will be an act of His wrath against America, so He will be
standing by and watching until all that He purposed is completed. Albeit, not without great sorrow of heart because of His
great love for the American people.
Now like Joel, I cry out to the children of God. Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all
your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is
restored]. Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow
to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met]. Who
knows but what He will turn, revoke your sentence [of evil], and leave a blessing behind Him [giving you the means with
which to serve Him].
I, like Joel, with a heart that is broken for my nation and the church, cry out;
"Blow a trumpet in Zion; set apart a fast [a day of restraint and humility]; call a solemn assembly. Gather the
people, sanctify the congregation; assemble the elderly people, gather the children and nursing infants; let the
bridegroom [who is legally exempt from attending] go forth from his chamber and the bride out of her closet. [None
is exempt from the humiliation.] Let the priest and the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar;
and let them say, Have pity and spare your people, 0 Lord, and not give your heritage to reproach, that the
[heathen] nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the peoples,
Where is their God?
This is the time to pull aside, weep as I have wept, lament as I have lamented. We must rend our hearts and repent of
our sins and our apathy, and pray for ourselves, our loved ones and our nation. We must pray that our nation will repent.
Further, we must begin to repent of the sins of our forefathers. We must plead that God will spare His people, and that in
the midst of the awesome and terrible judgments ahead that God will remember mercy. In our praying we must further
humble ourselves and with fasting and a penitent heart, turn from our wicked ways. We must keep coming to the Lord in
this manner until all hindrances to our fellowship are removed and we depart from the world and the ways of the world,
thus experiencing a new and living relationship with our Lord and Savior.
If we will do this, God will have mercy upon the repentant. Upon those who are contrite and broken-hearted over their sins
that affront the Lord every day. He will pour out His abundant mercy. Each one will be graced with a living communion
with our God and Father. He will continue to pour out His Spirit to revive the penitent, heal His Church, and bring the
ignorant and erring into the holy way, which is the way of the Lord!
You know something, the Gospel is the good news! Oh, God in His infinite mercy and love will tell us of the impending
dangers. Quite frankly, I am so glad He does! If I am on a plane that an engineer has just learned will not make it to my
destination because of faulty mechanics, I want to be deplaned!! If he tells people in the tower, and the pilots that the
problem exists and they still want the plane to fly, that is their privilege. But I want off the plane!!! if there is any chance
that that plane is going to crash, I do not want to be on it! Please don't tell me in mid-flight that I need to start praying
because the problem that was seen on the ground is now going to cause us to crash if God doesn't intervene.
Well, my Christian friend, the church is on the world's plane and it is not going to be able to make it to our needed
destination. I have just recently, in these last two decades learned about that reality. Now I am telling everyone who will
listen, to get off that plane! Don't be offended because you will initially be inconvenienced. just get off the plane because
it is going to crash and everyone that is on board is going to crash with it. Don't be fearful that you won't find your way off.
God will make sure that anyone that wants off will make it to safety. That is the good news. We can get off the failing
plane and God will put us on His plane, which will make it to our destination safely. Further, the good news is that God
has a plane that will keep us safe in our earthly travel. If we ignore the warning because you are uncomfortable with the
fear this new understanding gives and choose to remain on the same plane the world is on, our choice will result in great
suffering and possibly untimely death. This is not God's will! To the wise who heed the warning and begin to seek God
and obey His admonitions there will be protection and safety in treacherous times. For them, in a day of great darkness,
gloom and despair, God will be jealous for His people, We will walk by the light of our Savior, hidden in His secret
pavilion, secure in His undaunted love, protection and provision. We will rest assured in our God knowing that underneath
are the everlasting arms of our God and above are His covering wings. Nothing shall by any means hurt us, for He will
never leave us nor forsake us. Through Christ we will do valiantly! Going forth conquering and to conquer, winning the lost
and healing the sick, and we shall never be ashamed. America is under judgment but, God's children will be kept safe.
For this reason, we will have nothing to fear and we will be afraid of nothings Christ will be everything we will need. The
world will know it and so will we!

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
JUDGMENT ON THE NATIONS

The message from the Angel on the White Horse was: "Great judgments are coming from God upon the lovers of this
world, those unrepentant and cripplers of the children. Come out of her my children. Take nothing with you, only the
clothes on your back. judgment is coming at midnight and the hour is 11:55 (p.m.). Don't mourn the loss, only come
away. Come out of her." [You must come out. The man of sin, the man of destruction, has been judged.]
In the vision I had the night of March 31st, I realized that I had walked the length and the breadth of every nation on the
earth seeing the same sight. The land was ravaged by fire. The soil still heaving with the purifying fire like lava blistering
over the landscape. In the cities, there was looting, rioting, murdering, plagues, and famine. Darkness and terror assailed
the people on every side. Over and over again I cried, "The judgments of the Lord are coming, prepare, prepare!" Some
would walk by replying, "They have already come. Can't you see?" Each time, I would once again see visions of bombs
dropping on the land, my response would be "No! This is but a warning!"
On June 1 the angel revealed the red horse to me. I saw the angel turn his head to look at something behind him.
Suddenly, we both saw a red horse coming down a long winding tunnel from heaven. He cried, "The red horse is coming.
Tell the people of the earth-prepare-prepare- prepare for the events that take place with the coming of the red horse."
Then the Lord spoke, "I require that all men everywhere repent.'
Paul wrote,
... the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden
destruction ... (I Thes. 5:2b-3a)
Take a bird's eye view over the nations of the world (as of September 1990). Glancing over the East, we will remember
recently coming through some shock waves due to the killings in Tian An Men Square, and the upset in the stock market
because of the Japanese economy; but overall, there now seems to be relative peace. Not withstanding the brutal
persecution of the church, which is taking place in China.
Looking to the West, the Iron Curtain has been ripped down and the Soviet nations are taking another look at
independence. Again, we have seen some violence, but minimal on the comparative analysis. Food shortages are severe,
but as yet, we have seen no major upheaval regarding this problem.
Africa continues to be a nation with a festering wound, but at this time, there is no volcanic activity in process. Although
there will be soon.
North America is relatively calm, but Central and South America have just come through some foreseen and rather
tumultuous changes with more on the horizon. Right now however, it seems that the climate there is best described as
"sporadic storms".
While I don't pretend to have all the answers for world affairs, I can say with relative confidence that I have a few insights
as to what we will see in the future. We have definitely seen a convulsion in international affairs sporadically exploding.
Like the geysers in Yellowstone National Park, they have released their pent-up fury and then settled down, each time
amazingly quick.
In the spring of 1988, the Lord gave me a word regarding what was about to happen: 'Agitation going on under the surface
of world governments are soon to surface, even to the overthrow of some. " The process has begun to show itself, but we
haven't seen the last of it. There are militant forces awaiting major takeovers even as we sit at the dock of Iraq.
Europe
As we look at Europe, we are soon to see a "bursting boil" in government and economy. The Lord informed me early in
1990 that Margaret Thatcher would be removed. He said Satan sees her as a threat to his plan for a one-world
government, which in fact, she is. While this book was being edited, this event occurred. This will, start a chain reaction
in government and their economy, and unprecedented public unrest. France too, will undergo the same changes,
although for different reasons. The Lord, has asked for prayer for France because of the greatness of their afflictions.
Perhaps as early as 1991 some awesome and unexpected news will begin to come out of that pocket of the world. It will
make the ears tingle at the hearing of the report. Especially concerning Great Britain and France, there will be a growing
reign of terror and natural disasters (such as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes).
The word for Europe as of 1996 will be; "expect the unexpected, and offer up prayers for God's mercy."
USSR
The Soviet Union experienced a major tearing away of countries before that last domino fell. On January 25, 1990, I was
in heavy travail as I was praying with my dear friend, Bonnie Daughenbaugh. Suddenly, I saw a vision of the Swastika.
It was out in front of me like a three-dimensional movie. In the vision, the cross was black while the background was
yellow. (I don't know what, if anything, the colors symbolized). I saw the Swastika begin to move across the U.S.S.R, the
length and the breadth of the land. Speaking out deceptions everywhere it went, the masses believed. Then it began to
travel across Europe, speaking flatteries and deceptions and the multitudes believed and joined in. (As I mentioned
previously, an angel talked with me throughout this vision, giving me directions, although I never saw him.) The angel told
me to curse the deceptions over the people and call them into truth so that they might be saved from the plans of the
flatterer. So I did as he commanded. He said kings, queens, heads of state, religious leaders, and the people of the
lands are going to believe these lies. Speak to the people. Call them to see "truth".
Vision of Insight
In the fall of 1989 I had a vision in a dream. I saw a huge house of several thousand square feet sitting on a lot. When the
owner was home, it remained a lovely house. When the owner left the home, it turned into a wall. I noticed the owner
drove a Rolls Royce. It was one that would be a collector's model today. It had the chauffeur's seat separated from the
family portion of the car, but it looked brand new. Then I saw church leaders, government officials, and citizens come
wanting to buy this unusual house. The offers they made on it were as though it were worth hundreds of thousands of
dollars more than actual value. It became like an auction with the highest bidder winning. When I awakened, it was as if I
had been in a trance (see Acts 10:10) and I was immediately pulled into a timeless tunnel where the Lord spoke to me,
saying.-
"Fear not. The answer to what you just saw is in the eighth chapter of Isaiah. A great deception is about to take place. I
let you have an experience behind My visitation with you in August. You were confused and frightened about why it was
allowed. Now I'm going to explain it to you. I visited you and left behind the presence of My glory so that you knew joy,
which you have not known before at the wonder of My presence. Then, I let you experience a storm of such great
darkness that terror gripped your heart, and you thought you were going to die. So great was the darkness and the storm
that you forgot all about the hours in My glory. Now remember this. My people will know the same sequence of
experiences; one hour for one year.''
At this, He quit talking to me, the presence of timelessness left, and I stayed awake the rest of the night pondering what
had happened. I knew immediately that the enemy had a tactic of diversion operating against the body since January of
1989 so that he could build himself a sure house. This strategy was confusion, hardships, character assassinations,
sicknesses, division and strife. The overwhelming attack was in hopes of keeping the church out of prayer for that whole
year. This enabled him to complete and solidify his sure house. Once completed, this house would appear to be a place
of refuge and a wall of defense. The vehicle that would be used to display the new thing would appear to be brand new,
although it is very old. I also knew it would look so good that even members of the church would buy into it. This, of
course, is the one-world government and religion.
Isaiah chapter eight told me it would be full of every kind of sorcery. Its prophets, so to speak, would walk the land
proclaiming it a way of "Peace and Safety".
I interjected this visitation in the middle of the vision regarding the Swastika because, in going back to it, you will
understand what the angel was talking about in his next statement. Remember, I was told to curse the deceptions that
were coming from this Swastika, which I had done.
The angel then said:
'As you were told by the Lord last year, this that you see is the beginning of the great house of deception.'
It was immediately secured in me that the breaking down of the iron wall was not what it appeared to be. Just then, the
Swastika disappeared, and I was looking at the head of a beast; what appeared to be a cross between a lion and a ram.
Although its face was long like a ram, it had the mane of a male lion. I said, "What is that?" The angel answered, "It is
the spirit behind the deception. Curse it with these cursings." I obeyed as I was instructed.
As this whole scenario played itself out, I knew this man was speaking peace, prosperity, shelter, food, unity, and
safety. However, he could really not offer any of these, not even to his own, as we have since come to openly realize.
I was also told, "That which is, always was," in speaking of internal affairs in Russia.
I realized then, that no matter what kind of reconstruction or reformation is being spelled out, we are being deceived. The
very skeletal framework of what is going to be built, or is hoped to be built, is the same as the skeleton of ideologies that
has always been. Furthermore, this is in preparation for the one-world government.
Even the religious reforms will soon prove to be what they were all the time, deceptions. With the end, there will be a
greater increase of persecution than what has existed in the past. The "Swastika" stands for anti-Semitism. So by that, I
also come to the affirmation that what I'd been told by the Lord years ago would still prove to be true, but with added
dimension; persecution of Jews throughout Europe. As of 1992, this had begun in lesser measure once again, in Russia.
However, I know through secret sources that it was planned three years prior and was to look spontaneous. In the years
to come, there will not be a safe place for a Jew outside of Israel. So please pray for the Jews internationally and help in
any way you can to secure their migration back to Israel. Eventually, the only haven of security will be Jesus Christ.
Somewhere in the Soviet Union, there is going to be another devastating earthquake. Traumas and cataclysmic events
with natural disasters will shake this nation. Also, Russia hopes to stabilize its economy, which I feel will happen to a
little healthier degree, but not for long. It will never cease with its military superiority and someday, Russia, Africa, and
China will be the weapons used to destroy America through war.
Although the Russian government will continue working towards a one-world government, the church there will arise, as
everywhere in the world, working towards the building up of the true kingdom. Although bearing the wounds of her deep
scars of tribulation, she will quickly arise to heights of great grandeur in God, and in His glory, do awesome things in His
name. This in spite of the fact that the new-found religious freedom in the Soviet is an effort to give the people a tonic and
pacify them. In the end, it is intended to be part of establishing a one-world religion. And the true church will once again
come under persecution.
Africa
I saw the time of the white man coming to a close. The black man would move into the center of power to their own
destruction. At the time I was shown that, the only way I had to relate to what they would succumb to was
"communism". That name is melting like wax on a hot summer day now, but the Marxist and Lenin ideology it was born
out of is still alive and well. For all intents and purposes, those who are leading the black revolution are of that mindset.
Whatever it will be called in the end, the black person in Africa will be destroyed under it.
There is much wealth in Africa, and up until now it has been pretty much forcibly consumed by the lusts of the white
man. Whereas the black man thinks that will change in the overthrow, it won't. Those in power, though black, will do as
the whites did to the common man. They are waking up to mighty revival now, and it will increase to a great and
awesome move, but through much persecution. Unexpected natural disasters will explode with a venom (including
earthquakes).
China
The underground church in China is in a mighty revival right now. America should have a tenth of what this martyred and
persecuted church has. This will only increase to awesome glory! God is going to do an interesting thing. In worldwide
famine, China and America are both going to have one food product that could meet every daily need, if that were the
only food in existence. China will be a world supplier as will America. I know for America this food is not known today,
but it's something that can be dehydrated for easy shipping and storage. I don't think China's has been discovered as yet
either. Interestingly enough, God is going to use our food product to open doors in the Chinese government for the gospel
(which by the way will be going through another upheaval). However, only for a time will there be a gospel sweep in and
through the government. Natural disasters (including many major earthquakes, back to back) will sweep through this
land, leaving much devastation and taking many lives. Alas, however, she will in the last days, be America's arch rival
with Japan by her side.
The Middle East

Anything that will happen in the next few years will be scrimmages, if you will. They have a military power to achieve,
which they just don't have yet. I think when there is the danger of major world war, Russia will be with them in face, as
well as under the table. So, a major war concerning Iraq, I believe, is still futuristic.
As far as war against Israel itself, Ezekiel 38:12 tells us that Russia and its confederacy of nations will come upon Israel
for its foodstuffs as well as its goods. Right now the attention is focused on the land Israel is in possession of, but in that
day, the focus will change. Although Russia is in a food crisis, the stage is about to be set for a major food crisis
throughout Europe and the Middle East. This will ignite the "hook in their jaws" to bring them up against Israel in war. I
saw a huge earthquake in his part of the world, even larger than the recent one they experienced. (While this book was
being typed, this earthquake happened. It, however, is not the last.) Finally, while some food products will flourish in
Israel, I saw a great pestilence of locust attacking their fields.
Central and South America

There will be violent upheavals in every area with massive slaughters of the innocent. There will be quakes in government
and economy, coupled with violent takeovers in unprecedented ways. There will be natural disasters that will be
staggering to the mind for the cost of lives and property. Once this explosion starts, events will follow one another, back
to back, with no cure. This will release a major outbreak of epidemic diseases.
Generally Speaking
Don't be in dismay! I shared earlier how the Lord had told me to measure something that had happened to me, one hour
for one year. Because that was pertaining to international issues, I'm going to touch on it and expound on its meaning.
We haven't yet entered into the first phase when Jesus will come to His church and set her ablaze with His glory. It is
right upon us. When it comes, no one will have to second-guess if it's here. But the Holy Spirit is going to come to the
church with a "John the Baptist" type move first. This first anointing, as I said before, will put the ax to the root of the
trees. Those who are impure, whether ministries or lay people, will fall to judgment under this mighty awakening. Those
who are pure will move to great heights in God. The body at large who wants purity, but who have just weathered too
many storms against their faith, will be purged and set aflame. Following this phase will be the entrance into visitation of
glory with great signs and wonders, yet not without persecutions.
Somewhere near the end of the visitation of glory, highly elevated persecution will break out worldwide. As in the book of
Daniel, God will perform great miracles at times to keep some from being martyred.
About three-and-a-half years into this awesome move, a major thrust into the warnings will begin which will then lead to
global judgment and a great tribulation. The church will remain for a season as a beacon in a very dark world! We will be
capturing souls for Jesus. Although we will still move in great power and miracles, we'll be moving against great
wickedness and under a heavy cloud of darkness. Those who are true will feel the horrendous pressure, but not be
overcome by it. Paul said: Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a
falling away first.... (11 Thes. 2:3) (emphasis added) But that will be the first sign. Because of the great tribulations
against the body, many will fall away for the sake of their own lives. They will not take into consideration that it will cost
them their souls.
... and that man of sin revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (11
Thes. 2:3-4)
The church will see the antichrist arise. Paul said we would see him and know who he is.* The Lord showed him to me
one night. I saw him rise to power. He also showed me it would be at that time, and only for a short while, that the
greatest persecutions would arise against the church. God's grace will increase to meet the need Church, so don't be
afraid. There is a special grace given to the church when it must endure persecution or even martyrdom. It's a corporate
grace as well as to the individual. It's a grace of increased joy and closeness to Jesus. Further, as I mentioned in the
chapter on martyrdom revival frees the mind, heart and soul of fear, filling the Christian with faith. So just keep pressing in
to Jesus and keep your eyes on Him.
*I am not by this statement purporting to station myself under any particular belief about the rapture of the church in
conjunction with the tribulation. For the church will recognize the anti-Christ by the covenant he makes with Israel in the
beginning of the tribulation week.
Before the hour of judgment (which is when God's wrath will be poured out, as I described in a previous chapter), I believe
the church will be taken to meet the Lord Jesus in the sky.
Until that time, the Lord will keep those who choose to trust Him in a supernatural way. It will be a time when we will
have to fight against dense darkness. It will in no way compare to the previous years of intense glory. But those who have
taken advantage of the close presence of the Lord, who have studied the Word, and taken the time to know Him
intimately, will be just fine. All Christians will be going through this persecution together, globally, and we will be
victorious through Christ. Revelation reads, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Rev. 12:11) We will cling to the power of that precious blood
that bought our souls by living pure, holy lives. By His blood, our ultimate and greatest victory will be realized, that of the
resurrection when Satan will be manifestly under our feet. The word of our testimony will be liquid grace full of great power
and revelation, enabling us to continue to do great feats. Here is a most important key. All that is released from heaven in
this crucial hour will be received by the souls that love not their lives unto death. Even if they never know persecution, it's
the value of that condition in the soul that matters. I feel, however, the key issue in the heart of the church at large will be
"evangelism", since self-protection will be gone.
Multitudes, Multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:14
Amp.)
Put in the sickle for the vintage harvest is ripe; come get down and tread the grapes, for the winepress is full and
the vats overflow for the wickedness of the people is great. (Joel 3:13 Amp.)
That's what I saw in the vision of March 25, 1990. The multitudes were down in the cities, which seemed to be in the
valleys. None of them knew the Lord and were soon to be lost. God's warnings and chastisements had destroyed the
land, judgment was soon on its way for the final countdown and the people needed the Lord. They were utterly lost, and
no one seemed to care. While the nations are being plunged headlong into the strong dealings of the Lord, the church in
America is looking for its ticket out. Jesus is going to need us strong and glorious, and He needs us here. We won't be
here for the worst of it. That time is His judgment on those who refused to repent through the warnings, and the purging of
the land with fire. Those that took the mark of the beast will die with the one they chose to serve. But until then, we will
evangelize the world.
Israel, a Prototype
Look at the nation of Israel as the prototype of the church. She has been rebuilding her ruins in perilous times. Since
about the mid 1970's she has been preparing for the reinstatement of the priesthood and the building of the temple as
was foretold by the Bible. It will be completed in even more troublesome times.
If I understand things correctly, I would say, in the end, the antichrist will desecrate the physical temple. But the Bible
says Israel will then look on her Messiah who was wounded in her house and mourn as one would mourn for her first-
born. This is the time when the real Israel will at last be born. The Bible says it will be in a day, and it will come forth with
great signs and wonders. So the house of the true remnant Israel will be born as it were, in a day from within the
multitudes of people whose composite makes up the Jewish nation.
It's impossible to look at the scripture realistically in light of today's unfolding events and continue to ascertain that God's
work with the Jews has come to an end. The church's job is to pray for and to love the Jewish people taking every
opportunity to be a testimony for Christ. As the Bible says; the Gospel is to go to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.
The Church In Glory

This is a picture of the church. She has been cleaning and preparing for the new priestly ministry through difficult times.
The church will experience a mighty and quick building up by the Holy Spirit in even more troubled times. Satan will
make his entrance to desecrate the temple, but at that time his throne will be in the one-world church. The true spiritual
church will be brought to wonderful levels of maturity and although she will be moving underground, in a manner of
speaking, she will be walking in the highest spiritual endowment ever known. It will be in very perilous times,
accompanied by still greater miracles, as all of heaven will seem to be at her disposal to insure daily provision and
continued world evangelism.

CHAPTER NINETEEN
Babylon Is Falling
[January 10, 1990]
A Vision
The Angel of the White Horse cried.- "Run, run from the daughter of wickedness. The time is
at an end. Judgment is sure. Babylon is falling. Babylon is falling! Come out of her my
people, come out of her! Don't mourn the loss, but run, run from the fallen daughter of
wickedness."
Like a town crier, his words rang through the streets.
[January 25, 1990]
Then I saw a great city-Babylon, a city hidden in darkness. Out of Babylon arose a tower and I knew it
was Babel I did not see the heavenly messenger who spoke with me, but I heard him plainly say, "This
is the great Babylon; the tower you see is Babel"
I was slightly perplexed by what I was seeing, so I thought to ask him, "Who or what is it? ' However,
before I had a chance to utter my thoughts, he replied, "Babel is the seat of world governments.
Babylon is its hiding place." Immediately, I knew "Babel" is the convergence of world governments.
"Mystery Babylon" is the spirit empowering it while "Babylon" is the system of world governments. I
was then instructed to curse it. As utterance came, I did.
As I began to utter these words, the tower of Babel turned into the United Nations building. As it did,
the wrath of God welled up within me with one last instruction for utterance. As I cried out in
obedience, I saw a huge ax-like object come from the sky like a streak of lightning hitting the building
and severing it in two.
Then I saw multitudes in darkness, weeping, wailing, and lamenting in such terrorizing agony. Yet, they
were cursing God for their pain, with no heart to repent.
I believe the scripture gives us evidence of just who and what Babylon is so I want to draw from the
Bible to establish this point.
He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, like Nimrod a mighty hunter before
the Lord. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of
Shinar. [in Babylonia] (Gen. 10: 10 Amp.)
In Hebrew, the name Nimrod means "we will revolt". Furthermore, the phrase "A mighty hunter before
the Lord", actually reads in Hebrew, "He was a mighty hunter in defiance of the Lord; hunting the souls
of men." It was Nimrod who spearheaded the building of the tower.
Go to, let us build us a city and a tower whose top may reach into heaven; let us make us a
name, lest we be scattered abroad the whole earth. (Gen. II: 4 Amp.)
Their intent then was to build a city of commerce to live in, and in the middle of that city to place a
tower. This tower was to have a two-fold purpose.
First, it was to be a shrine to their gods. At the base of the tower were many small shrines dedicated
to the various gods they worshiped. On the top platform was a sanctuary for the gods "Bel-
Merodach". Bel was the spiritual entity and Merodach was
identical to Nimrod in his supposed deity, as he was deified by the people. On the walls all around the
tower were the signs of the zodiac. In this verse we see the attempt of man to make union with deity in
a perverted manner, just as we see in the New Age movement today.
Secondly, it was a shrine of unity among all men to show purpose; that of building a kingdom under
the chief rulership of Bel, another name for Satan. In this shrine, all gods were subservient to the head
gods Bel and Merodach. This unified all religions into one and gave religion a purpose "making a
name" for man that they might control their destiny.
They also incorporated astrology, which in turn, brought in every kind of mysticism and cooperation
with spirits. In short, it became the very fountainhead of false religion and the height of human
government. We see here that it was Nimrod who combined religion and government as an entity. In
so doing, he made himself a deity. As a result, through the worship of Merodach, he was himself,
worshiped as a god. Through the worship of Merodach, Nimrod becomes a prototype of the antichrist,
which is soon to come.
The Lord knew if Babel and Babylon would have been left to prosper under those conditions, the
antichrist government of Revelation would have been established thousands of years too early. Men
would have destroyed themselves then. So, the Lord confounded them by causing confusion of their
languages.
It's interesting to note that Satan is still, even today, attempting to bring about a one-world government.
When he succeeds, he will unite the diverse tongues of the nations under his Babylonian rule and at
last achieve his goal and be openly worshiped by humanity as though he were God. Yet, God has a
purpose even in this.
The next time we see Babylon mentioned in a significant way for the future is in Zechariah during the
reign of the Medes and Persians. The prophet saw an ephah floating through the air as he was talking
to an angel. (At that time in history, the ephah was an international symbol for commerce.) Yet, the
angel said it was symbolic of sinners and resembled their iniquity throughout the whole land; in other
words, "international wickedness". When the lid was removed, Zechariah saw a woman sitting inside
this symbolic vessel. The angel explained that she was "lawlessness". The lid was put back on the
ephah and it was all carried away. The prophet then asked where they were taking it. He was told that
it was going to the land of Shinar, or Babylon, to build it a house. When that was complete, it would be
set on its own base. (See Zech. 5:5-1 1) From this scripture, we understand that lawlessness is the
spirit that rules through commerce. Although there are several verses in the Bible that speak of
Babylon, we won't use all of them or this book would have to be written about just that single subject.
We will however, use those which seem the most pointed to develop this train of thought. After the
church is removed, we see that judgment will come on Babylon.
Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She who made all nations drink of the [maddening] wine of
her passionate unchastity [idolatry]. (Rev. 14:8 Amp.)
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious
stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornications: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Rev. 17:4-5)
The Greek word for harlot is porneuol, which means idolatry. Abominations is a word that speaks of
images, anything that cuts across the worship of God by man. The imagery that has been made so
clear in these verses is that she is the spirit that mothers idolatry and idolatrous worship. She is
arrayed in fine linen, gold and precious stones. It speaks of lust personified and lust being lived out in
greed. Where is her throne? Over the people of the nations (v. 15).
Then it says:
And the woman that you saw is herself the great city, which dominates and controls the rulers
and the leaders of the earth. (Rev. 17:18 Amp.)
Her main entrance into the lives of the people of the nations is her control of the rulers and leaders of
the earth.
The Bible used the terminology, she is the great city. So, it equates "Mystery Babylon" with the city
"Babylon". Yet, it still says she controls the rulers of the earth and all the people therein. It was
Zechariah that told us how she does this-"through commerce". This is one scripture that has a double
meaning. We have already been told she rides over Rome (Rev. 17:9). Yet, Rome will not be a city,
but a confederacy, or a system of nations, that will eventually be the governing place of the world. That
is what is meant here, Babylon is a system, not the literal Babylon of Iraq! That is one of the greatest
mysteries of all. This spirit of harlotry keeps the people of the earth bound in her idolatry by keeping
them bound by a physical system. The name we know it by is "government and world commerce.".
She has her system intertwined in virtually every government of the world through "commerce". John,
however, confirms what Zechariah saw as well as what I was given to see on January 25th.
(They were) weeping and grieving aloud, and saying, Alas, alas for the great city that was
robed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked and glittering with gold, with precious
stones, and with pearls! Because in one hour all the vast wealth has been destroyed. (Rev.
18:15b- I 7a Amp.) (emphasis added.)
With the system went the wealth, so all the merchants and all the people mourned over her
death.
Their merchandise is of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls; of fine linen, purple, silk, and
scarlet [stuffs]; all kinds of scented wood, all sorts of articles of ivory, all varieties of objects of
costly woods, bronze, iron, and marble; Of cinnamon, spices, incense, ointment and perfume,
and frankincense; of wine and olive oil, fine flour and wheat; of cattle and sheep, horses and
conveyances; and of slaves [that is,] the bodies, and souls of men! The ripe fruits and
delicacies for which your soul longed have gone from you, and all your luxuries and dainties,
your elegance and splendor are lost to you, never again to be recovered or experienced! (Rev.
18:12-14 Amp.)
I said earlier that I believe Babylon will die after the church is gone. Consequently, many may think,
"Well then, what do we have to worry about?" The Word gives us the answer.
BABYLON IS FALLING
I then heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out from her, my people, so that you
may not share in her sins, nor participate in her plagues." (Rev. 18:4 Amp.)
Her sins are all found in Exodus, Chapter 20, the Ten Commandments. They start at the top with
idolatry and work down through murder and covetousness. In Revelation, we learn she is even guilty of
killing the saints. Where did Babylon get her great start? Back at Babel. It was there that Nimrod
securely established a government in revolt against God and dedicated to idolatry, what we would call
today "pseudo-Christianity". After the confusion of tongues, the city remained and Nimrod built several
more just like it, one of which was Nineveh. It wasn't long before that ideology ruled every government
on earth, and it still does. The only thing God really sought to stop when Babel was circumvented was
the premature reign of the antichrist, which He successfully thwarted.
We read of Abraham that God called him out and away from the system then again made him rich.
When Israel was brought out of Egypt, they were taken out of the system. After training them in a self-
sustaining government for forty years, they went into the promised land. Their new system of
government was to have kept them separated from the nations of idolatry and the rule of Babylon.
Furthermore, God intermingled their new governmental system so completely with their relationship
with Him, that to truly enter into the nation, you would have to absorb its God.
When they, in turn, lost God, they lost their government and for all purposes, their nation. It was,
however, given a new birth, which began through Samuel and was solidified in David's reign through
reinstating the Lord and his government. Consequently, the people were, once again, safely set apart
from the world and the corruption of the world's system.
I'd like to clarify here that I am not against government. The concept of government after all, comes
from God. Further, Jesus told us to give to Caesar what is Caesar's. So, I'm not purporting that we
should rebel against the government. What I am attempting to assert is that the government of the
world is, unbeknownst to most, ruled by Satan the god of this world. His spirit, which the Bible also
calls the spirit of harlotry, rules over a man through his soul, because of man's abuse of the law of
God. it also rules over him through the system of the world in the area of his flesh. We are virtually
woven into the world's system in so many ways it staggers the mind. So, we are woven into a system,
which in every way denies the Lordship of Christ and challenges righteousness in its most basic
beliefs and actions. We are to be in the world, but not of it. Our rules and regulations are to be
uniquely the Lord's. Our manner of living, and our motivations, are to be under the effectual
government of Jesus Christ. Be warned, Babylon is essentially going to vomit out the church on her
way to ruin.
Time is winding down and is just about gone. Babylon is being judged and the Lord is saying what He
said two thousand years ago. "Come out of her My people. Don't participate in her sins." If we must
abort the system by leaving it with nothing more than the clothes on our back, we must do it.
What I feel He is saying today is to break your dependency on the world's system and put it on God.
Quit looking at things the way the world sees them and look at things through the eyes of the Word of
God. in other words, through the eyes of faith, understanding the valuable keys to unlock the purpose
of God within future events, which are revealed in the Word. If our faith is truly in Him, our reaction is
going to be considerably different the day the dollar dies, than it will have otherwise been.
Monetary Crises
We are going to experience two major economic collapses in our financial structure. One will be soon.
The other will be in the total judgment of Babylon. I'm not at all sure that the first collapse won't be
somewhat engineered through the government as a way to introduce the new world currency. I saw
positions like corporate presidents going for salaries of twenty to thirty-five dollars a week. It was no
longer a matter of perpetrating continued lifestyles of luxury. Survival was all that mattered! Of course,
that affected every area of the economy and every manner of living.
I saw ministers and ministries, both large and small, well-known and basically unknown, go under.
Ministers by the thousands left the call hoping to find stability in the world, thinking they could use their
gifts and talents to make a living at a secular job. It was a heart-breaking and cataclysmic economic
collapse. I was given the scripture:
But the hired servant (he who merely serves for wages) who is neither the shepherd nor the
owner of the sheep, when he sees the wolf coming deserts the flock and runs away. (John
10:12Amp.)
Upon seeing the wolf, they ran. The sheep needed God's ministers more than ever. Yet those who
were not really true to the call, were gone. They were looking for greener pastures in secular positions.
Their hope of course, was higher earning potential to take care of their families.
The Bible's indications were, when seeing the wolf coming, the unfaithful shepherd would desert the
flock. This informs us then the wolf is not this particular economic collapse. Rather it is only a view to
the true world, indicators pointing toward the final apocalyptic judgments befalling the nations of the
world.
Businesses, large and small, went under. The whole world was in upheaval. People were killing
themselves over their severe losses. Families were losing homes, cars, and furniture because they
hadn't prepared.
Get out of debt. Get mortgages paid down substantially or paid off. Pay your cars off, as well as
furniture, etc. There isn't much time, so you'll have to put every spare dime into wise use. Minimize
business and family out go. Primarily invest in land, but only land which you have prayed about and
that you are confident God's eyes will be watching over during the things to come.
Ministries need to have debt-free buildings. They need to run the churches and ministries as debt-free
as possible, making sure that any expansion is the Lord's perfect will, or you will suffer loss.
Ministries are going to be coming under increased pressure from the Internal Revenue Service, and
we will eventually lose the tax exempt status. So, although we are going to see a spurt of
unprecedented giving from the people of God, it will be followed by a major satanic squeeze.
So spend wisely, Church. Don't hold back your giving to get out of debt. God can't bless anything that
is motivated by fear and won't bless in these coming days what is done in greed. Give wisely to the
work of the Lord. Know it is being invested where He wants it. The word for tomorrow is treacherous.
Treacherous times in a crippled and confused world. What would you do today if an economic
collapse took place? if you feel panicky, then you're not where you need to be with Jesus. It is going to
happen, and soon. Begin to seek His Word and see what He is saying to you about this upcoming
trauma to the world's system. Seek Him daily in prayer until you find a settled peace that you have
answers as to what you are to do, or that the answers are on the way.
We are looking at tough times ahead, but He promises to be a refuge for His people in times like
these. So don't fear, only pray. Move close to Jesus, and like a wise leader He will guide you and
satisfy you. No matter what happens, faith will hold you strong and in safety, as long as your hope is in
Him and not secured in the world system.
I saw the governments of the world and the world commerce system totally devastated as Babylon and
the spirit of lawlessness met their demise. Though the kings of the world and the merchants of the
nations mourned her, she came down. The people whose total dependence was on that system,
cursed God for their losses and terrible agony. Although I believe the church will not be here at that
point, it will be here through much of that process.
We have never needed to be consumed by Jesus as we need to now. He will make the total
difference in our ability to be strong through troublesome times. Press in to Him, and let Him be your
source, Jesus is reaching out to us through these warnings. He is like a caring father who is saying; I
understand the future and know the pitfalls and the paths of safety. if you will come and rest in My
presence and seek Me through My word, I will carefully and tenderly lead you. And, in the days of great
darkness I will protect you and provide for you. But, you must come to Me and turn from the cares and
distractions of the world that continually pull you from My side. Hence, through His Word and by His
Spirit, He will lead you to perfect provision.

CHAPTER TWENTY
AMERICA
"One nation, under God, indivisible! America, what happened to the glory of those stars and stripes?
Who is there to save you now? God would have, but you brought His honor into the dust and trampled
it underfoot. Did you not know that your indivisibility was under God alone? Your beauty and your glory
have caused your heart to be lifted up against the Almighty. You murdered His prophets and
tormented His saintly ones. You threw your children into a pit of their own blood. Would you even
weep? No, but you applauded others that did the same. You have despised the wisdom of His
counsel and turned to idols of silver and gold. In the day of your destruction, they will fall upon your
heads and lay in the ash heap of your broken pride. There will be none to help.
Psalms 127:1 "A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour
in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain. {for...: or,
of Solomon} {that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it}
"Yet, once more, My grace will move across your land. I will heal what I will heal and redeem what I will
redeem, and you will recognize that the Holy One has visited you. Yet, still you will not hearken to my
incessant pleadings, and I will give you up. How well it would have gone for you if only you would have
forsaken your sin and turned to the God who gave your hope birth. Now the hour has come and
judgments sit on your door, and there is none to turn them back." (Prophetic utterance given
September 30, 1990)
God is requiring that all men everywhere repent. This chapter is going to be despairing for some. I
find, and understandably so, that some can't accept this prophetic insight. Even if they can accept the
rest of this message, it seems what I'm about to share is "too hard a thing to bear".
Quite honestly I understand that, but please don't put your "resisters" on. We will see soon enough if
the Lord has spoken. This is the beginning of 1997. Although I had the vision I am about to describe to
you nearly nine years ago, on January 27, 1989, it wasn't until the spring of 1991 that God began to
deal with me to start sharing it, and it wasn't until the following fall that He gave me greater
understanding of why He gave it to me in the first place.
I was awakened in the middle of the night. The Lord said to me, "Why do you think I gave you that
vision of the United States?" I replied, "I don't know, Lord, why did you?" He then responded, "A
surrogate mother won't work. Sarah could not be one to Ishmael. It's not My way." As I was pondering
what that could possibly mean, He followed with, "Only what is born of faith can work."
While the Lord gave birth to America's liberty and planted in her bosom a hope, He promised to be
her protective covering if she would meet His conditions. He did not give birth to this sinful and
rebellious nation. Although He has given birth to His church, a nation within a nation, He did not give
birth to this antagonistic entity we call America. It was the blood, sweat and tears of man that gave it
birth. Humanists swam in the womb with this nation and humanists have helped give it birth. They have
nurtured it, coddled it and flaunted it as the "son of their pride".
On the other hand, it was the church who fought for the right of motherhood. She fought for the right to
set up the rules and even discipline the spoiled child when it was bad. But she, alas, has only been
"the surrogate mother for a rebellious Ishmael".
It was Sarah who wisely declared at last, "Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this
bondwoman shall not be heir with my son!" However, while this is true, Abraham suffered over
releasing Ishmael and sending him away. Even so, our Eternal Father suffers over the future of the
people of America. He must cast away the rebellious but He does it with great pain, What America as
a nation doesn't understand is that we have been reaping the benefits of the church's inheritance for
over two hundred years. While the church has not been the model bride anymore than Sarah had been
a perfect wife, we the church are, nonetheless, God's bride and the spiritual nation of Israel. So while
the Lord loves His "spiritual Israel" (the church) and although He must even chastise His elect, He will
cast out the irreverent Ishmael (The United States). Though God loves man, He hates sin and will cast
out from the inheritance those that choose to serve sin. For these it might be said; He has little regard.
May we also remember it was not God who first rejected America. Although He has stretched His
arms out to us, we are the ones who have refused Him. So, fear not Church, that which is born of faith
will stand. God has in His judgment remembered mercy. What I'm about to share is the way in which
God is going to, in effect, cast out this rebellious America He calls Ishmael. The process will begin
while the church is still here. In fact, it has already begun and will continue until all is fully executed. I
want to add one more thing before I share the vision the Bible tells us:
And if you say in your [minds and] hearts, How shall we know which words the Lord has not spoken?
When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or prove true, that
is a word, which the Lord has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be
afraid of him. (Deut 18:21 & 22) So we are to judge the word which is spoken in the Lord's name by
waiting to see if it comes to pass. If it does, we need to believe it and respond to God's warnings
through it.
The Vision
On January 27, 1989, I had been in a spirit of prayer all night and was finally just starting to dose off to
sleep. Suddenly, I was fully awakened by a vision of a map of the United States. It was not a vision in
my head but was what some call an open vision out in front of me.
The map was in a silvery light and was completely sectioned off into states. just as suddenly as it had
appeared, I heard a voice, as robust as the sound of many waters yet with great intensity, begin to
give directions. Starting with the West Coast, the voice would speak and that same silvery light would
shoot down from the direction of heaven like a laser beam onto the map. The light would follow the
path directed by the voice and then effects would follow as I will explain. First, the voice cried out: 'The
West Coast, California, Oregon and Washington, starting from the southern most tip all the way up to
Seattle, will suffer natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods and fire, and enemy attack. "The line
shot up the map taking most of California and leaving only a small section that bordered on Arizona
and Nevada. It went up through Oregon taking about half of that state and then on up through
Washington, taking about one-third of that state, then moving out toward the ocean through Seattle.
The minute the line touched Seattle, everything west of the line disappeared,
The voice then cried out, "Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois will suffer natural disasters, such as
floods, earthquakes and tornadoes, and enemy attack. immediately, this line started at about where
Lansing, Michigan, is and fanned down in what became two lines going south first. Then one line
swung back up easterly through Ohio, going out over the Great Lake Erie through Cleveland. The
other line swung down through Indiana and then headed back up northwesterly and went out into the
Great Lake Michigan up by the way of the northeast corner of Illinois and out through Chicago. When it
was done, it looked like two "u"s side by side. This affected areas all through the region, for instance,
as far east as Detroit and easterly in Michigan to the Great Lake itself on the west. The whole
southern part of the glove experienced cataclysmic results.
Next, the voice called out, "Most of Louisiana and all of Texas will suffer natural disasters, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes,
and enemy attack. " The line shot up through New Orleans east of Baton Rouge, up through Shreveport in a kind of
wiggly way then cut off all of Texas. Texas disappeared. Louisiana experienced devastation but didn't disappear
I was ready for this to end, yet the Lord continued.- New York down through Pennsylvania, the Virginias, the eastern Part
of Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida will suffer natural disasters of every kind, hurricanes, flooding, earthquakes, etc. and
enemy attack. "Then everything that was east of the line disappeared.
The Lord continued, "The Grand Canyon will suffer natural disasters. " The line seemed to start at the bottom of the
Grand Canyon heading northerly straight up to Montana through Yellowstone. This was also accompanied by
cataclysmic disasters like floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and fires. This affected a substantial area, including Arizona,
Utah, western parts of Wyoming, the eastern tip of Idaho and southwestern part of Montana, The regions did not
disappear, but experienced utter catastrophe.
Then Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, West Tennessee, Kentucky, and on it went. There were severe heat
waves, hailstorms, energy blackouts, severe snow and ice storms as well as extreme arctic cold spells to the loss of
many lives. I saw it so often occur in some the least likely areas, famines, pestilence, plagues, and more. Nevada and
Utah were all but destroyed through natural disasters of every kind and ultimately enemy attack. They did, however,
remain on the map (Please note that I am not declaring that the states that disappeared fell off into the sea. I don't know
why they disappeared, only that they did. Consequently, I am merely relating what I saw, not trying to interpret.)
I was so dumbstruck that I felt numb, even bruised. It was hard for me to pull it all together in my mind. I just sat there in
shock. Finally, I realized if I didn't write it down, I'd lose a lot of it as there was so much detail. So I wrote what I could
remember Some states, such as New Mexico, were lost from my memory. I couldn't remember what happened to them,
so I didn't record it.
I distinctly remember, however, that the only part of the US. that was not devastated was the Central United States, a
region basically west of the Missouri River, as I have indicated on the map. I also realized that many of the things that
would begin happening immediately would be of an unusual nature, such as natural disasters that would seem
improbable or even impossible, at least for that particular geographical area,
I was instructed that this sequence of events would start immediately, picking up momentum with time until eventually
the succession would be happening with gunshot rapidity, until all was fulfilled. It's important to understand that the
natural disasters did not specifically follow "the lines", but the lines seemed to indicate the borders of the severely
affected areas. The only one exception was the line that went up through the Grand Canyon north to Montana. In that
case, the line seemed to symbolize the central core of action with a radiating aftermath both to the east and west. I saw
natural disasters in Alaska and the Hawaiian Islands followed by warheads.
Finally, I saw a severe diminishing of our nation's military. Officers, and enlisted men, as well as the closing of many
critical bases were part of the scenario. Our ability to defend ourselves was critically reduced, to a point of near
ineffectiveness. (The Military cut down was not incorporated in this vision, but was seen many years ago.)
These disasters have already begun, just as He said they would. Since that vision, there have been two earthquakes in
California, terrible fires, a hurricane on the East Coast that did what all the meteorologists said could never happen. The
storm entered inland through Charleston, South Carolina, went north and headed back into the ocean through New York.
Flooding for the first time in history was recorded in a community in northern Ohio resulting in unusual deaths. Most
recently, there was an earthquake near the southern border of Missouri, and floods in the plains, and terrible disaster in
Florida from tornadoes. Those are just a few instances, but hopefully, they're enough to drive the point home. These
things are neither freak accidents, as some would have you believe, nor are they just satanic humor on mankind. Church,
please realize that the Lord commanded everything that I saw hit the map. He also told me it was part of the sequential
calamities which are warnings ultimately leading to full judgment assigned to this country. They are like blinking red
lights along the path of judgment. Go back! Stop! Repent! The end is at hand! Will you hear? Will you pray? How in His
great mercy would He gladly stop or minimize catastrophe for His praying church!
As I said earlier, the church will be here through much of it, but not the worst of it. At that, some will utter a sigh of deep
relief, but I can't. I don't want people I love left behind to experience that. I saw the devastation. Never again will the
people be able to sing, "Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, with amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesty above
the fruited plain. America, America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to
shining sea." It will no longer be true.
One better to quote will be Jeremiah:
Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a reservoir of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the
daughter of my people! (Jer. 9:1 Amp.)
The Lord does not delight in the announcements He has made. He has waited this long time that we, as a people, might
repent. Some foolishly say, "God is love. He wouldn't do that." My friends, God is also holy and for that reason He must
let this nation who is so steeped in the love of sin and idolatry drink the whole cup of wrath that it has been storing up for
two hundred years. If God judged Israel even one time for the sin of the nation, then He must unleash that same
righteous judgment against America.
Last, but not least, it doesn't really matter if we believe all, part, or any of what has been written in these pages. If our
response is continued apathy, it will all come to pass, most of it before our eyes, as the Lord will fulfill His purpose. The
motivating factor, which will cause Him to purge the land by fire, is the sin that has and will continue to rise up before His
throne day and night.
Canada will experience as much devastation through various forms of natural disaster, as America. As I shared in an
earlier chapter, it will be for the same reasons. Both will experience the purging fire of judgment.
The Lord weeps over the souls of men who have and will suffer through these calamities. He weeps, for His heart breaks
over our pain. Fear and unbelief blinds our eyes. Jesus longs to give His light and faith, and bring the sinner to
repentance. The things that have moved Him to withhold His judgments up to this point are His intense love for His
church and His now over extended mercy for the unrepentant.
Don't Be Afraid
But for you, Church, the Lord's abundant mercy will be towards the meek in horrendous times. His presence and
provision will be like the comfort of mama's arms during a nasty thunderstorm in the middle of the night. Like birds that
hide in the trees and clefts of the mountains during great storms, God's heart longs that His church would hide in Him.
Turn from the world, the titillating desires that will only bring pain, and find your shelter in Jesus. If we have ears to hear
and eyes to see as His warning continues to unfold, if we will turn from our unrighteous ways, repent and purify
ourselves, we will know when He speaks and we will have power to obey. in our obedience, we will find safety. He will
neither leave His own nor forsake them, and He will have everyone exactly where He wants them for safety's sake during
the storm.
In Conclusion
I have shared with you five major experiences that directly relate to the judgments that are about to come on the whole
earth. In the process, I've indicated the eight principle reasons for His decision to bring judgment. I've also indicated the
Lord's reasoning behind the pouring out of His cup of wrath upon America. I've shared all of this in the hope that in
hearing, you might believe, and that in believing, each one would take the corresponding action needed to insure your
safety in tumultuous times.
As I've stated repeatedly throughout these pages, the only recourse against individual judgment today is repentance.
Each one of us must bow before the Almighty and determine in our own hearts if we are really acting in a responsible
manner towards Him.
If our lives are not saturated with love for Him and with a corresponding loving concern for our fellow man, then that should
be our first indication that change is needed. If our lives are not being directed by Him, approved by His Word through
apparent holiness, and separation from the ideologies of the world, then we are in need of a major turn about in our lives,
purpose and pattern. We need to run to Jesus. He Himself said:
Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom
from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace, that is, your security,
safety, prosperity, and happiness depends)! But now they're hidden from your eyes. For a time is coming upon you
when your enemies will throw up a bank (with pointed stakes) about you, and surround you, and shut you in on
every side. And they will dash you down to the ground, you Jerusalem] and your children within you, and they will
not leave in you one stone upon another; [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and
understand [from observation and experience] the time of your visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the
time in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ]. (Luke 19:42-44
Amp.) (emphasis added)
Verse 41 says He declared this as He wept audibly over the city. Today, He is weeping over all mankind. Perilous times
are ahead and He doesn't want even one lost. So His warnings and pleadings are loud and clear.
Church, the things that pertain to our peace (the life that will bring us rest in a chaotic and debauched world, which is
being filled with every kind of perversion and evil), are the things Christ prescribes.
Salvation is in His name. To attain this salvation, relinquish control of your life and accept his Lordship over every area.
You must say no to sin. The Bible is very clear concerning the kind of sins not tolerated by the Lord.
Now the doings (practices) of the flesh are clear, obvious: they are immorality, impurity, indecency, idolatry,
sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger (ill temper) selfishness, divisions (dissensions), party spirit (factions, sects
with peculiar opinions, heresies), envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. (Gal. 5:19-2 la Amp.)
If you are involved in any of these sins, your only option is repentance. Furthermore, we must love instead of hate; serve
instead of being served. The Word states, if you practice the above mentioned sins, "You shall not inherit the Kingdom of
God." (Gal. 5:21c) That is an awfully big price to pay for holding on to sin. So repent of your sins and ask Jesus to come
into your heart and become Lord of your life. If you're saved, live a holy life!
It is important to know your Savior intimately, memorizing and understanding His Word. It is imperative to have a life filled
with prayer and trusting obedience, a life lived on the edge of evangelism. It is crucial that we individually rise up and take
a stand against issues that are pressing against righteousness and overtaking the rights of the innocent.
Leaders in the body are being called to re-evaluate their purposes and priorities, as well as their ministry mode of
operations. Something can appear to be very good on the surface, but if the Lord isn't saying to do it, it needs to be
disbanded. Secret lives of every kind of sin are going to be openly revealed in the lives of God's ministers. Consequently,
ministers need to regard purity in their lives and ministry as never before. Ministers are going to be forced back to a
people-motivated expression of ministry and away from program and system-oriented organisms, which we call churches
today. What arose out of much necessity has become a two-headed monster. We won't even see the true reality of that
until it's ripped out of our hands. Please understand that I am not against systems that help people. I am simply saying
the face of ministry is going to change dramatically.
The Lord is going to put a brand new face on His ministry in the earth through much travail in the natural world around us.
Those leaders who are preparing for the last-days ministry are already starting to make changes. Those who are not will
be forced to circumstantially.
It's time to raise up out of the muck and mire of the past and fight, to soar on the wings of what our Lord is doing today.
For the unrepentant, it's going to be full of woes, but for the pure, it's going to be times of great victories.
God is earnestly cooperating with us in a concerted effort to get the family to heaven in unbroken fellowship. So don't
look at the future fearfully, but prayerfully, that each one will make it.
Finally, if you believe that God is love, believe too, that He loves you. Trust that since He knows you by name, it is His
highest and best purpose for your lives that you are here today and allowed to participate in the wonders of the coming
hours. Understand that God is in control. Nothing is going to take Him by surprise. Jesus said none can take those
whom the Father has given Him out of His hand. So rest there. Love and obey Him and declare, "It is well with my
soul!"
I'm going to conclude this book by sharing with you one of the most fearful experiences of my life, and one of the most
wonderful.
The Storm
In the chapter concerning the judgment of the nations, I mentioned a time when the Lord appeared to me and left behind
His joy. Right after that, I was allowed to go through the worst Midwestern storm I've ever experienced. For all intents and
purposes, I wasn't too sure I would make it out of the path of that storm alive. Because of the flash floods, broken
bridges, winds whipping at my car at almost gale velocity and rain beating at my windows so hard I couldn't see the front
of my automobile, I was terrified.
It was after midnight and the lone country road I was on was flooded for more than a hundred miles. The roads were so
washed out I couldn't turn back. Because of the last transmission I had received on my car radio, I knew that many
bridges had been washed out. They had no indication of how many more would go before this raging storm would die
down. I continued to creep ahead at a snails pace, as that was my only option. But I never knew when entering upon a
bridge whether or not the whole thing was there because the rivers were flowing like torrents over the floor of the bridges,
hiding their condition. I tried to remember scripture that promised safety-but my repository of scripture seemed sealed.
So I simply prayed in my heavenly language. I have never known fear so crippling as I did that night. After three hours of
this, finally the Holy Spirit spoke in my spirit these words, "He entered the boat and immediately they were on the other
side." With that statement, for the first time in three hours I knew I'd make it out alive. Within ten minutes following that
wonderful encouragement, I found I was driving uphill and was leaving the valley full of flash floods. My joy once again
began to emerge as I embraced His comfort. In just under half an hour I had arrived at the turnpike.
I was to learn later that several friends had been awakened in the middle of the night by the Holy Spirit to pray for me
because I was in extreme danger. But friends, I didn't feel those prayers nor did I feel any presence of God. As I said in
the chapter on the judgment of nations, He purposed that it would be that way as it was to be a sort of allegory. I was
living out then what was to be a future experience for the Body of Christ. Jesus spoke that to me in an audible voice while
I was in a trance, along with many other communications regarding Satan's plans, past, present, and future. This was so
that I would encourage the body with strong encouragement to press into a deeper relationship with Jesus now, so you'll
be strong in the coming storm. Just before the storm hit the region I was driving through, I had experienced three-and-a-
half hours of the most glorious moments of my life.
I was driving out of Omaha, Nebraska on Interstate 80 going west. I was heading back to Oklahoma City. From there I
would fly out to Fresno, California.
I was telling the Lord how badly I wanted to offer Him a golden vessel tried by fire as a symbol of my faith. I was saying,
"Lord, I don't want to hand you a common or tarnished vessel, but a beautiful and ornate vessel of incredible purity,
worthy at least in some small way, of all You are to me a golden vessel purified by fire, a symbol of my faith, to your
glory."
It was as I cried out these words from the depth of my heart that Jesus appeared to me in the car. We talked as a friend
would talk to a friend. I was still crying as I told Him how much I loved Him. I shared how much pain I had gone through in
the last several years, but most especially the last year because of what my little granddaughter, Tiffany, and my
daughter, Ricci, had been put through. I told Him through a torrent of tears how I wanted to trust Him, but my faith had
been shattered by all their pain. The seeming lack of answers to my pleadings to Him on their behalf hurt so. My heart
and faith couldn't hold up any longer and broke. Now I can't seem to mend them.
"Please," I continued, "help me understand your ways and renew my faith. I want nothing more than to hand You that
beautiful chalice when I come home to be with You." Then I softly cried for awhile longer.
By this time Jesus had leaned over toward me so we were eye to eye. He listened more intently than anyone has ever
listened to me. As I poured out my heart, my friends, He listened and He cried. Big tears welled up in His deep blue eyes
and flowed down His bronze cheeks. He cried with me as long as I cried. His eyes and face were so full of compassion.
After I had ceased talking for awhile and was able to get control of myself, He broke the silence as He tenderly spoke;
His eyes still filled with tears, every now and then one would still trickle down His cheek while He shared. "Nita, it hasn't
been that long since I too, went through the fiery furnace. It is as real to Me today as it was while I was here on earth. I
still wear the pain of the furnace every moment."
Friends, I was startled. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't imagine our Lord hurting like I was hurting, not now, not still! I
cried, "But, Jesus, how?" With a rather shocked look which gave way to a most radiant smile, ever so gently He replied,
"Why, I feel every pain inflicted on each and every one that belongs to Me. There is no suffering, not even the smallest,
that I don't bear right along with each of My precious children. Nothing gets by Me. In fact, nothing enters into the life of
one of My own that it does not pass through Me first."
As I gazed in wonder at His remarkable face-so perfect, so pure, so wise and compassionate, His smile became so big I
thought He was going to laugh. The radiance that beamed from Him became a brilliant heavenly glow. It was as though
all of heaven was shining through His wonderful face. When this brilliance reached its climax, His skin had become
almost transparent. I say almost, because His body density didn't seem to change. He simply took on this awesome
translucent heavenly glow. He was bubbling over with joy as He began to speak to me further.
"Nita, thank you for being willing to let your faith be tried and tested as gold is tried, for Me." Then His gaze became even
more intense. Though He didn't lose his smile, He moved even closer to me and looked into my eyes as though He saw
to the depths of my innermost being. I could see joy well up within Him again. Then He continued, "You do not know how
much it means to Me that you are willing to go through the fiery furnace for My sake. I am with you, I'll never leave you
nor forsake you. Thank you for your love that says yes for Me."
My friends, I was overwhelmed. I knew if I could have searched His heart as He had just searched mine, I could never
have comprehended the depths nor the heights of the appreciation He was expressing.
He stayed with me for about 45 minutes and spoke many things to me. These things that are important for you to know
at this time, I have just shared.
He didn't reprimand me for crying; He cried with me. He didn't despise my hurt, He hurt with me. He didn't laugh at my
seemingly futile attempt or desire to be a vessel tried as gold for His sake. He knew the seriousness of my commitment.
But, He was overwhelmed with joy that I loved Him enough to go through the fire for Him. He was overjoyed to recommit
to me with the eternal promise found in His Word, "I am with you. I'll never leave you, nor forsake you." As He left, He
imparted the most incredible joy. I experienced strength and healing as a result for days.
Though we don't always feel Him, He is always with us. He won't give up on us and He promises that He won't let
anything or anyone separate us from the essence and indwelling power of His love.
I shared these two experiences here as a way of relating to you the mercy and compassion of the Lord. We can't judge
that by circumstances allowed to enter our lives. We can only receive the healing knowledge of that by faith, then further
embed it in our hearts by careful study of the Word and a close relationship with Him.
Remember, if He kept Noah and his family, He can keep you, and He will keep you. He desires to keep you and yours.
There are only two things standing between any of God's children and restfulness in the coming storm, a lack of trust and
disobedience. Thus, trust and obedience are the buckler and the shield of protection. If you will choose to trust Him, He'll
give you the grace. In seeking to obey Him, He'll bestow upon you the strength. As you can see, all that you will need
will be in His hand.
There is a marked scenario we will see as it begins to unfold.
Jesus is even now releasing a wonderful renewal of the revelation of Himself to the Church.
Soon this cycle will be catapulted to an absorbing and magnificent revelation of Himself in the Church.
Finally, it will explode to a magnanimous display of the revelation of Himself through His church to a lost and dying world.
So turn from fear and look to Jesus who alone is the Author and Finisher of our Faith that the glory of the Lord can arise
upon you, and this sustaining grace and joy rest in you!

WATCH FOR THESE THINGS!
The Bear! This speaks of the Arabian nations, which are reflected in the Bible as the bear: the head,
which is Iraq.
An uplifting of Southern Baptist Theology. The following points are those which I believe will be the
most significant:
"The sacred scriptures the sole norm for faith and practice." The Bible is the authoritative guide for faith
and order in the church and in the life of the individual.
"The principle of religious liberty and the separation of church and state." Each person is responsible
to God for religious choices and commitments. The state cannot compel faith from any individual. I
think this will be reflected in many different areas of American life and will be good for the country! (The
Southern Baptist credit themselves as responsible for the First Amendment to the Constitution.)
*"Southern Baptist Theology."
We will repeat the likes of the Jimmy Carter initiated and forgiven debt in this administration.
"Ouch to the family finances!"
A dramatic change in Foreign Policy.
A dramatic change in National policies: some will affect us economically in a very consequential way.
Jessie Jackson will be brought to a new frontline focus once again. (I believe he will be an instrument
used to unify the African Americans behind President Clinton's programs.)
The preceding statements, which are emphasized in italics, are statements, which the Lord made to me. Number I was
made March of 92. Numbers 2-6 were made September 12, 1993. These are the events that will occur next on the
agenda. Thus, we are to keep watch, as each item listed will dramatically affect American life in one way or another!
REMEMBER THESE WORDS FROM THE LORD:

There will be a major militant uprising against the government in both America and
Canada. I hope and pray that no one who calls themselves a Christian will be a part of
it.
The time is coming when Christian leaders in North America will lament in deep grief
over the fact that they have not done their part in preparing the Church for the
treacherous times, which are ahead. Why? Because we will be a Church almost totally
unprepared for the events we will have to walk through. Many will fall as a result.
Yet, God will pour out His Spirit upon us strengthening us and helping us. So, the Lord
spoke; "I will send revival to MY Church, for in revival the heart, mind and soul are
freed from fear and filled with faith. Therefore, I will send revival for the Preservation of
my Church in a time of persecution. Revival, is already beginning to be poured out and
will continue to grow in preparation for the near future!
There will be a coup against the Russian government.
Some cities in America will be spared from judgment and/or destruction as God will
maintain His covering protection over these cities. Others are ripe for judgment and will
not be spared. Where God's protection remains, the Church will be at rest. (I saw this
through angelic visitations.) So, pray for the city of your residence. Pray for God's
protection and blessing in a dark hour. Pray for the people of your city to repent of their
sins against God. Who knows but what your city may find God's mercies and be spared.
Canada is going to find herself involved with war and eventually fighting on her own
land. Canada, pray for the Spirit of supplication and repentance upon your nation that
God may have mercy!
[The words printed in italics are the Lord's, the words in standard print are my thoughts.]
The End

Prepare for the Coming Evil

Judy Curmi
Judy, many of the evil events that are coming, man is going to bring on himself. Men have turned
completely away from me, their loving Heavenly Father because they don’t want what I have to offer.
Holiness is a hard road to follow or a " hard row to hoe", if you want to place yourself first and worship
self. The road to holiness triggers a whole series of choices, actions and events that place me and the
desire to help and serve others above the idols of control, manipulation, and self-gratification.
Most in the world are now standing on a sea of marbles. When I start shaking things the marbles will
roll every which way and the falls people take will be great. Few are anchored to bedrock. They have
no roots and no branches. Hard times are coming and people are not prepared. They have
worshipped everything BUT ME. They have put their faith in everything BUT ME,: in guns, in
technology, in doctors and lawyers, in their houses, the stock market and bank accounts. All of these
things and many others are the work of men’s hands. They are ephemeral, like trying to grasp the fog.
They look concrete, but it is only an illusion.
There are plans of men, which have been set in motion already, which will bring catastrophe and
horrible grief upon the earth. This will be Satan’s "finest hour". It will also be his total undoing, as the
victory will be mine.
Many young people actually think they are doing the right thing by choosing the dark side. They have
been totally blinded to the glory of my presence and the glory of the Gospel. Who is going to tell them
the truth? Not the schools, which have become cesspools. Not the TV, radio, tapes or videos. Not
their friends. Not their parents (if they’re fortunate enough to have them..)
My heart grieves greatly for the choices people are making, even to influencing the very young. I
cannot and will not allow this to continue much longer.
I will be coming to my own in a mighty way and many will be saved. I warn you not to put your faith in
being raptured out the moment troubles start. My Son needs a worthy bride. The Church is neither
worthy nor ready at the moment. Most of its' behaviors are extremely childish – not child-like, but
childish. There is a big difference.
I am calling with a strong voice. Listen to my prophets. I am speaking to them and through them in
many denominations in the current age. Read the prophecies in the Old and New Testaments and
check them against current events. Use your eyes and your head to see what is happening!!!! Watch
the evens that are occurring and wake up!
Woe to the wicked who stir up the pot of what is to come. They come from all races, tongues, religions
and political persuasions. They prepare to strike, but I will strike back. They prepare for unconditional
surrender of the world to them. Foolish people. I will have the last laugh. They will have to
unconditionally surrender to me. They are not God., I am.
Most people today are in worse shape than the five foolish virgins. They don’t know the bridegroom is
coming. They don’t have oil in their lamps. They don’t even know they need lamps! They are utterly
unprepared.
Wake up before it is too late and put your treasure where moths and rust can’t get at it. Fill your house
with wisdom and understanding. Get very, very close to me. Make this your top priority. Once things
start to shake there will be very little opportunity to change directions. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Look for ways to serve others and me. Be of good cheer. I will not remove my presence from those
who love me.
Love, Daddy

Prophetic Intercession Conference
Jim Goll, Noel Alexander, Wes Campbell and Ken & Lois Gott
September 17 - 19, UK
Sunderland, UK, 17-19 September 1998 - How can I begin to report on this conference? The best way to describe it is
this: An Experience Into The Throne Room Of God. It was a WOW! experience all the way from Thursday evening right till
Saturday midnight! The praise and worship led by Lois Gott and Isabel Simpson kept ushering in the presence and the
holiness of God into the hall and many times people were just weeping, prostrated before God –standing was impossible!
The teaching of Noel Alexander, Jim Goll and Wes Campbell were (I believe) the cutting edge of what God is saying to
the Church today. But, hang on, I’m running ahead –let me try (!) to highlight below what went on…
The theme of this conference was Prophetic Intercession. It was meant to teach the Church the lost art of Intercession
–interceding for a great Revival across the Earth in our days.
Noel Alexander spoke on Thursday night on "A Call for Intercessors." I have never seen a man with so much authority in
the heavenlies. He stood up and opened his mouth and you could almost feel the power of God going through you. Noel
‘s Olathe Christian Fellowship is associated to the Metro Fellowship pastored by Mike Bickle. His spiritual authority
comes from spending the last 14 years in hours upon hours of intercession.
It was just breath-taking listening to how he prayed. He prayed with Biblical articulation –using Scripture language to
address God (I don’t mean Thee’s and Thou’s!), because he is steeped in the Scriptures. That’s why he has such great
authority in the throne room!
Noel told us some very interesting stuff, which I can only highlight below:
In 1991 Paul Cain and Bob Jones (Kansas City prophets) received from the Lord that World-wide Revival will start in the
UK, then Germany and then world-wide.
** Intercessors have been praying with this vision:

1. There is coming an unprecedented Global Revival in our time
2. There will be a FULL manifestation of His grace in our time
3. There is coming unity among churches world-wide in our time
4. These will produce a glorious end-time Church in our time
** To be able to intercede for this, we need to:

1. Have untiring holy faith, persevering into the next level
2. Pray out of sanctified lives –clean mind, clean hands (the
media/Hollywood is contaminated, he warned us!)
3. Be separated from the spirit of the world
4. Be a people full of faith in God
** Noel told us that the great prophet Bob Jones prophesied that what is coming for the Church is TEN TIMES the
Book of Acts!!
Noel exhorted us to persevere / push through into the next level for the Church which is restoring Biblical intercession -
Intercede for the Coming Great Revival!
Jim Goll is a prophet who is also linked with Mike Bickle’s Metro Fellowship. He and his wife are a sign for the end-time
church. They have had the most extra-ordinary prophetic visitations of the Lord’s angels with messages for their personal
lives and the Church as a whole.
Just to give you an example: After a time of (physical) barrenness, they had angels appear to them announcing the birth
of their first son complete with name! This was repeated for their two consecutive children. Their fourth was announced via
a dream! However, they had to believe for all of this because physically it was impossible. The Lord had told Jim’s wife to
fight for the promise. And fight they did. And everything foretold by the angels was fulfilled. So now, they have a message
for the Church: What is coming is great, but we must fight for it. We must learn to intercede like never before for the
world-wide awakening that is coming.
His teaching on the ingredients of the Old Testament incense (onycha, galbanum and frankincense) is an eye-opener for
those who want to push through in intercession! Get the tape!
Jim also prophesied over Ken and Lois’ ministry with astonishing accuracy. He prophesied about a Bogota anointing that
is coming (Bogota -Colombia- is currently experiencing unprecedented revival with the fastest growing church in the
world!) –unbeknown to him Ken had been dialoguing with the pastor of the Bogota Church about a visit to Colombia!
Jim went on to prophesy that Ken and Lois’ would be instrumental in Birmingham and that this would be a major stepping
stone bringing Revival to the South of England. Unbeknown to Jim, Revival Now (Ken and Lois) have been planning a
Birmingham conference.
Jim prophesied about STORM teams going out of Sunderland –guess what, Revival Now has been organising Short Term
Outreach Missions to go out and take the Sunderland anointing with them. Jim confirmed that this is of God.
Jim had also a dream in which the Lord showed him that Sunderland was pregnant with apostolic evangelism. Ken has
had previous prophecies over his life that he will be an apostle to the North-East of England.
Jim also prophesied generally for the Body of Christ that a breaker anointing is coming that will break the way open to
Revival across the earth (Micah 2:13)
Another important fact: Intercession is not a special gift or ministry, it is the birth-right of EVERY believer!
All I can say is, that this guy is an incredible prophet with a great love for the River!
Wes Campbell with his wife Stacey are another extraordinary prophetic couple. Wes had us in stitches with his practical
teaching of how to go deeper into intercession like Noel and Jim, while Stacey prophesied with extreme manifestations
(her head was turning 90 degrees to and fro at an incredibly fast speed –we all agreed that this is not humanly possible!)
about intercession.
Wes taught us how to pray from the Bible instead of rambling on with no target in mind. He demonstrated this with some
CDs he’s produced with several key Revivalists, Prophets and Intercessors (e.g., Mike Bickle, Ken Gott, Wes) who read
and meditate aloud portions of Scriptures with instrumental music in the background. You can read Paul’s prayer in
Ephesians 3:16ff Revelations 4 while walking to and from in your room. These passages will give you a Biblical
perspective on God. The Scriptures will reveal God to us and teach us how to speak to Him.
We had a time of activation on this in which Wes had all the congregation (many hundreds!) walk around in wheel
formations around the room praying aloud from their Bibles with instrumental music in the background. The result was
powerful. The glory and anointing of God was clearly felt while walking around.
Another time Wes also taught on end-time. He said that he knew it was controversial, but felt clearly pressed by God to
expel the myth of the rapture theory. We must prepare ourselves for the judgements of God to come on the earth which
will result in a multitude coming to God which no one could count (Rev 7:9) –the great Revival. Get the video if you want
in-depth detail of his teaching. It was very clear and very sound!
Some of the facts he gave us:
70% of all Christians who ever lived were saved in the 1900’s
70% of the above were saved after the World War 1
70% of the above were saved in the last 36 months!
In China 35,000 are being saved daily
In Latin America 25,000 are being saved daily
In 1820 the world population reached 1 billion
In 1927 it reached 2 billion
In 1998 it is nearly 6 billion!
In the next 15 years Jesus’ prophecy will be fulfilled: every tribe and nation would have heard the Gospel (Matth 24:14)
These are just indications of where we are on God’s timeline.
After his teaching the Presence of God came in the room and no-one wanted to leave for lunch. We already were running
late. And now, we didn’t want to leave. The Spirit stirred Wes to mention about freeing women to serve God and the place
went wild. Loud cries went up to God in intercession for women in the church. Noel Alexander came up and with his
booming authoritative voice quoted Judges 5:24: "Blessed be Jael!" at which the people went even wilder. Noel’s
companion jumped on the stage and took this further by getting all the women to prophetically enact the slaying of
Sisera with the tent peg by Jael. The ladies went at it with great gusto. This, I believe, delivered many women from the
evil controlling power of satan through dominating men in the church who are oppressing the ministry of women. Wes
kept repeating: "ALL flesh –I will pour out my Spirit on ALL flesh –Men AND WOMEN! They WILL prophesy!" (see Joel 2:
28) That morning meeting finished 1:45!
The final meeting is worth mentioning. Noel Alexander spoke on the fire of God. He spoke on how God is restoring the
meaning of His original name Yahweh and His son Yeshua. Their English names (God, Jesus) have been dragged
through the mire being used as swear words. However, God is restoring to the Church the power of His Name. Noel’s
authoritative voice sent shivers down your spine as he proclaimed, paraphrasing the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel:
"You sacrifice to your elohim (Hebrew for god) and I will sacrifice to my Elohim. And the Elohim who answers by fire He
is YAHWEH!"
He then read from Revelations 8:1-5. He told us how we are living in the days of this passage. Our prayers are being
offered up before God and He will respond with fire! Incidentally, he told us how often God had confirmed this passage
with visible signs. He was just saying this, when the fire alarm went off in the building. The crowds went wild with
excitement while Noel (completely undisturbed) carried on preaching!
The night finished with deep, intimate worship where many were prostrated before the Lord.
It was a very significant conference with a clear message to the church: Don’t stop at Renewal/Refreshing –push through
with prophetic intercession into the next level which is coming: the power of 10 times the book of Acts!
On a personal level, I was very privileged to meet several of you who are on this list, including Rafael who is an
Argentinean from Claudio Freidzon’s church! He had story upon story to tell me about the Revival in Argentina. I made
sure he gave me a hug so that his Revival anointing would rub off on me!

I will be putting the videos and audios on our website this week. SO, come and visit our site and purchase on-line!

The Wall of Pretense

It occurred to me this morning that the reason God has not allowed me to have this format, to share until now is that now
is the time for them to be shared due to the nature of conviction in them
Several years ago the Lord told me to lie on my side like Ezekiel for 7 days and I was to read through Ezekiel and do
nothing else except eat and relieve myself and wash, and pray. It was one of the hardest things to do in my walk with the
Lord. Even with having chronic fatigue syndrome, it was hard. In that time the Lord showed me so much of the corruption
in the church and in the pulpit.
He said that pastors and leaders were involved in so much sexual sin, perversion, and greed, that it was a stench. They
were adulterous, with women, with men and with children !! All of this has been being uncovered.
Later on I had this dream about doing work for the church denomination I was involved in. In the dream, I was hired as a
secretary, and I was being trained at a desk. On the desk were clay shingles for roofing and I was to count them. They
cost $12.00 each. I was to count them for each church that I was assigned to in the denomination. At lunch time, I was
taken down to the basement where the bathrooms were and I went into the women's bathroom and in there was a HUGE
wall with all kinds of MAKEUP. And the supervisor said to me, that I could take as much as I wanted. But I was shy to
do so, but took some anyway and said I've been on welfare, so we don't have much money for make-up. The wall of
make-up was from floor to ceiling. ( The poor in spirit don't need pretense)
That week 2 friends in different cities in the country reported things to me about this particular church in their area which
confirmed that the Lord was dealing with PRETENSE in His church. In the dream, make-up stands for pretense.
The hard clay shingles are important in California to protect our homes from FIRE. I'm sure, although I don't know the
actual cost that they are expensive.
The Lord revealed that the shingles represented the COVERING of the Lord - the secure protection. In most of the
churches, there were not enough shingles to even cover a portion of the roof. The number twelve is the number of
APOSTOLIC government. In order for the church to have this covering, the wall of pretense has to come down , and the
Lord has told me now that the expense of the tiles is the COST we must pay to have this anointing.(apostolic) It will cost
us EVERYTHING. (Like Kathryn Kuhlman said about her own ministry.) That is why His apostles and prophets have
been going through a stripping process. This has been for DEATH to SELF- Something the church has lost it's desire to
teach, in many places. And in others, Pastors have taught the sheep to give everything but they themselves have not
been willing to pay the price. The church of Jesus Christ is built on the blood of the apostles and prophets. And there is
much spiritual blood that has been shed - by Jezebel and witchcraft in the church, trying to control the prophets from
speaking, even trying to kill them, by praying witchcraft prayers against us
There is much to answer for, and yet God in HIS MERCY is coming for the harlot BRIDE and He will make her spotless
and beautiful despite her adulteries. I'm so privileged to get to know others here on the website who have gone through
and are coming forth as gold.....(smile).

Prophecy for 1998

Thomas Gibson
December 31, 1997
For thus says the Lord, the King of all Kings. Beware of what is about to come. You say '98 will be a year like '97, I say,
no, it will not!
'97 was a year which I brought forth My Word more than I have in the past. This year shall be different. '98 will bring forth
a change in the world, a more stronger stance, by the world, against My people. There will be more instances of outright
prejudice from authorities against My people. But more than this, there will be a strong, strong, strong move amongst My
people top serve Me like they have never served Me before.
They will turn from living for the flesh, and for the needs of the flesh, and start living for the things of the word of the living
God. And as they do this, they will rise up, strong in the power of the Spirit, and I will be with them, and I will be with
them, and I will be with them.
Never forget this, in all the words that you have heard from many prophets, that have gone forth about '98, I WILL BE
WITH YOU! This shall never be turned aside from: I will be with you. Do not forget it, note it carefully in your spirit, that
you understand the world will begin to fall away from its own designs, which it cannot keep.
It will fall in the following specific ways. Number One. The BEGINNINGS of an economic crash shall be there. You will
not see the entire crash, don't look for that in '98, though you will see the beginning of it. You will see it, and you will be
part of it. But if you have put your faith in Me, and not in the things of this earth, it will not harm you. Oh yes, you'll have
less money. but I will meet your needs, says the Lord.
So many of My people have lived for the things of the earth. And as they begin, in the coming years, to fall away, and as
the things of the earth fall away, so they too will begin to fall away, thinking, well, there's nothing left, it is all gone. They
will be like the world, there will be no difference between them and the world because they have put themselves in trust of
the things of the earth. And as they begin to fall, they shall begin to fall.
So comes the time when I shall stand, says the Lord, and I shall stand in a great way with My people. And as the world
falls away, those who have put their faith in Me and not in the things of this earth, they will rise up in strength, spiritual
strength, their needs will be met, their health will be met.
You look and say, how can I afford a doctor, in those days you won't need one. I am the healer, says the Lord. Have you
not understood this from the beginnings of the gospel, I am the healer. Understand this, note it! I meet every single need
of My people if they will dedicate themselves to Me and NOT to the world.

Prophetic Destiny &

Apostolic Reformation (pt 3)
by Jim Wies
In previous articles we’ve been looking at the unfolding of King Josiah’s prophesied destiny to be a reformer in his
generation. What he did serves as a type of the apostolic reformation occurring today.
Three keys to his reformation were covered in the last article. The first key to reformation he discovered was a
return to seeking God. Josiah was a seeker - he discovered that the rewards go to the diligent seekers. (note Heb.
11:6) A second key to reformation was that Josiah returned to "the Book". A return to "the Book" is always a part
of reform. It happened as well in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah’s reform.(Neh. 8:5-8) A third key was that Josiah
was not passive about compromise - and in fact, declared war against it. A return to God always includes a turn
away from sin.
A fourth key to Josiah’s success was that he was not disillusioned by the dis-repair of the House of the Lord, but
rather gave himself to the repair of it. "Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the
temple, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the
recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God. Then they put it in the hand of the foremen who had the
oversight of the house of the LORD; and they gave it to the workmen who worked in the house of the LORD, to
repair and restore the house. 2 Chr 34:8,10 Note: he was willing to build a team ministry - to entrust the work to
faithful others who shared the vision of the work.
A fifth key was that Josiah understood the prophetic significance and purpose of worship. "...Others of the Levites,
all of whom were skillful with instruments of music, were over the burden bearers and were overseers of all who did
work in any kind of service. 2 Chr 34:12-13 "And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to
the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. 2 Chr 35:15 In every restoration movement,
music was of great importance. In Davids day we see the initial pattern for the last day's restoration of apostolic
authority (tabernacle of David). David made a radical departure from Moses' form of worship and established 24
hour worship around the presence of God. From that time on, whenever there was reformation it always included
restoration of the Davidic pattern of prophetic praise, worship and warfare. In Nehemiahs day, the completion of the
walls and the implementation of the new society was inaugurated with two massive choirs so large they circled the
city and were able to be heard a far off.(Neh. 12)
The same thing was characteristic of Ezra's reform - a return to the Davidic pattern of worship. "When the builders
laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the
sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they
sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD: "For He is good, for His mercy endures forever toward
Israel." Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the
house of the LORD was laid." Ezra 3:10-11 (also Ezra 12:31-36,45-46)
A sixth key was that Josiah lead by example and called for a commitment.
2 Chr 34:29-33 Then the king sent and gathered all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. 30 And the king went up to
the house of the LORD, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem-- the priests and the Levites, and
all the people, great and small. And he read in their hearing all the words of the Book of the Covenant which had
been found in the house of the LORD. 31 Then the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD,
to follow the LORD, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all
his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book. 32 And he made all who were present
in Jerusalem and Benjamin take a stand. So the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the
God of their fathers. 33 Thus Josiah removed all the abominations from all the country that belonged to the children
of Israel, and made all who were present in Israel diligently serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not
depart from following the LORD God of their fathers.
Josiah lead the people forth into a major reformation during his reign. He reestablished the rule of God through his
righteous rule. Yet all of this was known by God from eternity past. God planned it, and it came to pass. It was
prophesied, and 300+ years later a young man came onto the scene to bring major change among the people of
God. His story can serve to give us certain confidence as we approach these times of apostolic reformation
according to God's end time prophetic purposes.
God has declared He WILL have a glorious end-time Church. God WILL have a later house that will be more
glorious than the former one. God WILL cause His glory to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. God WILL
raise up the fallen tabernacle of David and cause the ends of the earth to come to the glory of its rising. Great
boldness, faith and optimism will arise in our hearts when we realize we have inherited a prophetic mission in
accordance with God's inexorable purposes.
God's plan is to have a fully functioning apostolic/prophetic Church in order to execute an unprecedented harvest at
the end of the age... AND WE'RE IT! We are his plan. We cannot expect the angels to do it. We can not expect
another generation to do it. God has appointed you and I to be here, now -- for such a time as this.

Prophetic Destiny
& Apostolic Reformation
by Jim Wies
It was a day like ours. The setting was during one of the lowest points in Israel's history. King Manasseh had already
been in power for about 50 years during which time he had led Judah into the worse condition of paganism and idol
worship they had ever experienced. Not only did he do all manner of evil which the Lord called an abomination in His
sight, He also led Judah into the all manner of sin as well; such as child sacrifice, witchcraft, divination, as well as
several kinds of sexually perverse idol worship. (2 Kings 21)
At this point his 16 year old son Amon fathered a child and named him Josiah. Amon went on to become the king 6
years later when his father died, but he too did evil in the sight of the Lord as did his father and was killed just 2 years
later leaving Josiah king of Judah, at the tender age of 8 years old.
Into this wicked culture came Josiah, who typically would have followed in the footsteps of His father and his grandfather,
but God had a prophetic destiny that included Josiah. In fact, JOSIAH HAD BEEN PROPHESIED ABOUT BY NAME
ALMOST 300 YEARS EARLIER and it was said of him that he would be a great reformer. (1 Kings 13:1-3)
At the age of 16 Josiah began to radically seek the Lord after the manner of his ancestor King David. "For in the eighth
year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his father David;... 2 Chr. 34:3 And David's
manner of seeking God was total commitment. Note his words in Ps. 63:1-2 "O God, You are my God; early will I seek
You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water. So I have looked for
You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory."
Josiah went against the tide of the popular culture of his day, and became one of the great kings of Judah and engineered
a major reformation in his generation. He also stands as an example to the youth of our day that God is raising a
generation that will serve the Lord from their youth.
There are several keys to reformation we can learn from the reign of Josiah and the reformation he brought to the nation
but before we look at them we must understand that the Body of Christ has arrived at a similar time in God's prophetic
purposes. God has ordained that this is a time for apostolic reformation. In the midst of wickedness on every side, He
has a chosen people, envisioned with prophetic destiny, who will arise and become instruments of reformation.
We have arrived at a new day in Gods eternal purposes. We are in the time of the restoration of all things spoken by the
prophets of old. (see Acts 3:19-21 below) He has His prepared vessels who are arising to the task and will see the plans
of God through, to the perfecting of a glorious Church - a "Bride without spot or wrinkle" - in preparation for His return.
These are people of faith, who have confidence in the Holy Spirit's ability to do what He intends to do,.. to prepare the
Bride for the Bridegroom. I really don't think Jesus is coming back for a shriveled up emaciated bride that He will have to
administer mouth to mouth resuscitation to, on the way up to heaven.. I think He's going to have a bride who is prepared
and glorious. I guess it is a matter of which Scriptures you focus on; for instance there are many that show a wicked
culture, ripe for judgment at the end of the age; (i.e. 2 Tim. 3:1-5) But there are also many that show us a victorious
eschatology for the Church at the end of the age. Here are a few:
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and
cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having
spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish... 32 This is a great mystery, but I
speak concerning Christ and the church." Eph 5:25-27 (also note Rev. 21:2,9-11)
(Take note of the *UNTIL*s that I have capped in the following scriptures)
"But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.
"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the
presence of the Lord, "and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, "whom heaven must receive
*UNTIL* the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the
world began." Acts 3:18-21
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the
equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, *UNTIL* we all come to the unity of
the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of
men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who
is the head-- Christ-- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the
effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." Eph 4:11-
16
Then of course, there is Jesus' prayer in John 17, that I personally believe will come to pass. (sometimes we may wonder
how, but since Jesus prayed it, I believe it will happen.)
"I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; "that they all may be one, as
You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. "And
the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: "I in them, and You in Me;
that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You
have loved Me." John 17:20-23 Sounds pretty good to me.
So to become an apostolic church there are a number of implications. First we must be committed to change. That
means renovation. It means moving forward into new things. It means we need to be, not only open to, but pursuing
transition and change. As one preacher so poignantly put it "Churches will either go forward or fossilize. A fossil is an
animal that didn't change during times of transition."
And, just as Josiah could say, we have not been this way before. But what Josiah also discovered, and what we have
access to as well, is a blueprint from God's Word from which to build. When Josiah re-discovered "the Book" it changed
his life. It caused him to re-evaluate the traditions of the day and go back to the patterns and purposes of God. He
reached back to the Biblical pattern in God's Word and God's pattern of worship; and true reformation took place
throughout His realm.
Josiah arose from his youth as a young man with a prophetic destiny as king of Judah during a time of grave wickedness
within the culture around him. He succeeded his wicked father Amon and grandfather Manasseh who had led Judah into
all manner of vile and wicked practices for close to 60 years. His appearance on the scene was literally prophesied
nearly 300 years previously.
Josiah, in contrast to his immediate forefathers, sought the Lord and served Him and was successful in bringing about
not just a short term "revival", but a major reformation during his reign. Therefore he serves today as a model of an
apostolic reformer. His story can serve to give us certain keys to reformation as we are, in this day, coming into times of
apostolic reformation according to God’s end time prophetic purposes.
The first key to reformation he discovered was a return to seeking God. Josiah was a seeker - he discovered that the
rewards go to the diligent seekers. "For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the
God of his father David. 2 Chr. 34:3
And we know David was an avid seeker of God. Just one of many samples from the Psalms show his heart. "O God, You
are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is
no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory." Ps 63:1-2 Of course Hebrews
11:6 states, "..for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek
Him."
A second key to reformation was that Josiah returned to "the Book". "... Hilkiah the priest found the Book of the Law of
the LORD given by Moses. Then Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, "I have found the Book of the Law in
the house of the LORD." ... So Shaphan carried the book to the king, ...Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying,
"Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king. Thus it happened, when the king heard the
words of the Law, that he tore his clothes". 2 Chr 34:14-19 Josiah took the words of "the Book" to heart. <grin>
A return to "the Book" is always a part of reform. It happened as well in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah’s reform "And
Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all
the people stood up. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. Then all the people answered, "Amen, Amen!" while
lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground...."So they
read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading...
Then he said to them, "Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is
prepared; for this day is holy to our LORD. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." Neh 8:5-10
A third key was that Josiah was not passive about compromise - and in fact, declared war against it. "...and in the twelfth
year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded
images. They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut
down; and the wooden images, the carved images, and the molded images he broke in pieces, and made dust of them
and scattered it on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. He also burned the bones of the priests on their
altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. And so he did in the cities of Manasseh, Ephraim, and Simeon, as far as
Naphtali and all around, with axes." 2 Chr 34:3-6 A return to God always includes a turn away from sin. to be continued...

The Return of the Prodigals

Barbara Pugh
This prophecy was first given at Birmingham Ablaze - March 4-6 1998 through Mike Buck and was shared again at
Prayer for Revival, Tongues of Fire Conference March 23-25 1998.
I found myself in a huge cathedral, which represented all the churches in the Birmingham area; it was called Birmingham
cathedral. At the north end, so far away it was hardly visible, was the altar where the risen Jesus stood. All down the
main aisle were lots and lots of different churches screened off from each other, and each having their own altars which
faced east on one side, west on the other; none faced north. The picture was in black and white and the people were like
statues. Then I heard a cry coming from the north end, and as a result God's spirit went forth as a wave, bringing
conviction and repentance on all God's people in each church as He worked his way down the cathedral. The effect of
this wave brought colour in its wake, as the barriers were being removed between churches, and the statues came to life
- being turned from their denominational altars to the living God. This process continued all the way down the cathedral.
At the south end the Holy Spirit stopped briefly to call me over to follow Him. I saw Him disappear downstairs into the
crypt where it was dark, and where sad lonely people were crying. There were thousands of them under our feet and we
did not know it! 'Who are they Lord?' I said. 'These are the prodigals', He said. 'The cry you heard earlier was the cry of
the Father longing for the return of His prodigal sons. I came in response to that cry in order to restore them, bring them
back to life, to heal their pain, lighten their darkness; but first I had to come to you to turn your stony hearts into hearts of
flesh so you could welcome them home as the father would. Because on account of you, albeit in ignorance, your desire
to speak the truth was not spoken in love it crushed their spirits, my grace was turned to legalism; you words, though
meant for life, brought death and they were buried underneath your feet. So I come now to bring life to them, and
repentance to you, that you all might become one in the Father's love'. The Holy Spirit then lifted up all the prodigals to
join us.
At this point I heard another cry, it was the people of God who with one accord, cried out to the Lord to open the huge
doors at the south end of the cathedral. No man could open these doors, only Jesus. These were the doors of revival. He
came in response to our cry it seemed and opened the doors and commissioned all of us to feed the 100s, indeed
multitudes of people who were hungry on the other side, or should I say outside the cathedral. Starting with the prodigals,
God's people left the building to share the morsels of bread with the people in their homes, highways and byways. No
sooner had a morsel been given, than it was replaced. It represented God's word, the bread of life, broken and poured out
for us to give to the people.
I looked back after a while and saw no cathedral any more, only Jesus standing on the foundation, tears of joy filled His
face. This was the Great Commission in operation. God's people now unified, one heart and mind reaching out..... 'Lord,
where's the cathedral gone? Where's the structures....?' And He looked at me, piercing my heart. 'You are my Body' He
said, 'you are the living stones of my temple.' At that point all I could do was fall down and worship Him.

Prophetic Intimations
Mike McClung
Dear Family in Christ,
It's been awhile since I have sent any posts, so I want to take an opportunity to send some of these things that I/we here
in East TN at Lionheart have been hearing. Please excuse the impersonal way of writing, but I think this would be better
for space saving.
For the last few weeks, the presence of the Lord has been very intense in our worship times and our intercessory prayer
times. The intercessors have been hearing the Lord in a greater dimension than we have experienced to date. The
following are some of the things that we feel the Lord has been showing us:
This coming year is going to be a year that the holiness of God will be brought to the forefront of our hearts and minds.
The fear of the Lord will also be a major emphasis as the Spirit of burning (see Isaiah 4, Mal. 3) begins to be released.
It will also be a year that true spiritual FATHERS will emerge and be set in their destinies. Their example, Christlikeness,
humility, and authority will signal a release of the healing and delivering power of God in an unprecedented manner.
One of our leaders, during an intercessory prayer time, had a vision of the Lord putting two gold bars in each of his
hands. When he inquired what they were, he was told one was holiness and the other wisdom. Again this is confirmation
about the emphasis and revelation of the holiness of the Lord, but also a major release of an aspect of the Holy Spirit
termed the "spirit of wisdom and revelation" (see Eph. 1:15-19).
The Lord will reveal Himself as a mighty Man of War (Isaiah 42:10). He will arise in the month of October as the God of
war to wage war on the enemies that have hurt and abused His bride. This will continue and grow more intense as the
year moves along. Yet, as He shows Himself astute to those who have made themselves His enemies, He will prove His
passionate love and mercy to His patient bride who has had to endure so much in waiting for His glory and timing to
come.
The Lord told me back in July that this coming year was going to be a year of manifest destiny. The original callings and
destinies on the lives of His people would be activated (see Jer. 1). Many who have been "ministering" in certain areas
will find themselves operating in their true anointings, giftings, and callings, and will be required to make the proper
adjustments, along with their colleagues and congregations.
Our worship leader received a word just today from Hosea 11:9-10: "I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will
not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the
city. They shall walk after the Lord: He shall roar like a lion: when He shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the
west." The voice of the Lord will roar from Zion (the church) releasing the fear of the Lord, and many backslidden, hurting
children will turn from the world (Hollywood's ways - the "west") and come running suddenly back to Himself.
A fulfillment of Isaiah 66:5-11 is about to quickly come to pass, where whole cities, ministries, awakenings, revivals, etc.,
will suddenly take place. The intercessors and warriors who have been standing in faith, suffering for the sake of the call
will be astonished as it says in the Psalm: "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that
dream." (Ps. 126:10)
There are many other things that I will send later, but hopefully these have been and encouragement AND a challenge to
all of us to abandon ourselves to our holy, loving Savior with a consecration deeper than ever. He is a covenant keeping
God and expects the same from us! Love Him with all your heart!
Grace & peace, Mike McClung Pastor, Lionheart Fellowship Maryville, TN

Prophesying Given To All

Jeff Rodrick
Dear friends and family members,

Greetings and God bless you. The Lord would have me send this message to you,
I pray that it will build you up and edify you:
Prophesy given Sept. 13

Blessed are my children that do my will
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake
Blessed are those whom are at ill ease with this world
For I shall be thy peace
Keep me in mind, and thy peace shall flow like a river
But outside of me shall debate and strife flow
I am within thee to guide thy ways aright

I am within thee to upgird thee and protect thee
Be not fearful of your adversary
For I shall supply thee with faith to overcome
Set your mind upon me and stay ye therein
For in so doing do you find strength to overcome
I am the light of men

If ye forsake the light what darkness it will be
Come to me the father of all
And shed forth your light among men
That they may see thy spirit within and magnify their God
In whom I am
For I am a God that has compassion unto my children
I know thy plight in all the earth
I have walked as a man my own self
That I may share in your infirmities
Like you suffer for my sake as well
Mutual members one of another
Suffering for righteousness sake
And being uplifted for the kingdoms sake
Very soon and Satan shall be ashes under the soles of all my children
And my kingdom shall shine more and more unto the perfect day
Behold the light within thee that shines
For I shall cause ye all to shine as beacons when the towers fall
For there shall come a day when mankind shall answer for his abominations
There will come a time when my judgements are executed
I have judged and the sentence is at hand
Rejoice oh ye righteous
But not of the flesh
But that which is of the spirit
Put ye on that spirit of righteousness
And rest ye in me
Rest ye in me
So ends the words of the Lord

Prophecy about Sweden

Mark Stibbe
I have just returned from a very encouraging time in Sweden. My wife and I (and our youngest,
Sammy), have just been to Stockholm (November 19th-23rd) to the Vineyard Church. I was the main
speaker at a Conference for churches in the Stockholm area.
I went with a heavy word to share - a word of warning from the Lord. On the Saturday night, I threw
away my prepared talk and preached a message based on 2 Chronicles 7.14, calling the church to
humility, prayer, seeking God's face and repentance. During this I spoke out the following message:
'My Swedish Bride: You have seen the devastation in Central America. You have seen the storm
come and the floods rise. You have seen people swept away by great rivers of mud. You have seen
babies and children sheltering in the trees, the young people washed away by the filth. You have wept
over this. Indeed, you have sought to help through financial means. You have even prayed.
But in your own nation you have not been alert to the spiritual storm that has been raging for years.
You have not seen the people being swept away by great rivers of sin. You have not wept over the
children and the young people as their homes have been destroyed and their families split apart. You
have not been alert to the cry of a whole generation lost in despair. Even when I allowed over sixty
young people to die in a fire in Gothenburg, you have not truly risen up with weeping hearts and bold
cries. But now, my Swedish Bride, it is time to awaken. It is time to wash the dirt off your pure white
bridal gown. It is time to seek the Bridegroom's face. It is time to make a stand against the tide of
pitch black evil in this land. It is time to arise and shine like light in the increasing darkness (Isaiah
60.1-2).
Bring down the strongholds over the nation. Confront the idols of money, sex and power. Wage war
against the principalities and powers. Confess your national sins. Rend your hearts and I will rend the
heavens. Repent of your sin and I will revive your church. For I love you, as a bridegroom loves his
bride. I love you. I am passionate about you. There is still time. There is still time'.
As I spoke these words, the people in the conference started to weep. By the end of the message,
people were under heavy repentance and experiencing godly sorrow for their nation. This led into
fervent intercession that the Lord would save Sweden from judgement and that he would remember
his mercy.
There was particularly strong conviction about an exhibition celebrating homosexuality in Uppsala
Cathedral. This was exceedingly blasphemous. People were really weeping over the sins of the
church as well as the sins of the nation. Cultural idols were being confronted in prayer. There was truly
a 'revival' anointing on the place.
The pastor of the Stockholm Vineyard Church, Hans Sundberg, described this meeting as one of the
most powerful he could ever remember. His teenage daughter had dreamt the previous weekend that
one of her unsaved friends from school would respond to an altar call and he did! Praise the Lord!
Young people were being particularly touched by the Lord.
I believe this was a key moment. Please pray for Sweden that God's mercy would triumph over his
judgement. The people at the Stockholm Conference recognise that they are at a crisis point in their
nation's history. Pray that they seize the day and that the church awakes! Mark Stibbe.

A SEASON OF PRUNING
Marc DuPont
The Lord says that He loves us, and because He loves us He wants us to bear greater fruit. Because He wants us to
bear greater fruit He is going to prune us. We are to know that this pruning is not a punishment, but those that He loves
He prunes, just a vine grower prunes not just the unfruitful vines, but especially the fruitful ones that are his favorites.
You have up to this point been a watering place for the Jordan during the time of John the Baptist I have brought the
empty and the dry from all over the world in ways you formerly would not have believed them. I have brought them to you
and you have been faithful. You have baptized them deep in My refreshing love and Joy. They have gone away intoxicated
with Me and have effected many others all over the world. But know it is now the time for the John the Baptists to
embrace a deeper death to self. Everything you have done, just as everything John did was of Me and for Me. But I did
call for His ministry to cease so that the bigger ministry of my Son Jesus might begin. I say to you that if you will die to
self, reputation, programs, and the way the river has been nourishing the peoples I will take you into an even greater
baptism.
This baptism will not be in front of the crowds. It will be alone in your prayer closet. Instead of moments of greater
laughter you will experience moments of great sorrow. Just as my Son Jesus stated before the hour of His being glorified;
that a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die to itself if it is going to bear much fruit" He said "My soul is troubled
within Me" Those who I love I prune, and if you will let me I am going to cut you deep within you. But, I promise you
where I make cuts there are going to be new branches grafted into you. And these new branches are going to bear a fruit
even more delicious that what you have previously known.
I say to you, do not trust in the programs, the systems, the ways in which you have been ministering. Do not trust in
your resources, personnel, or strategies. I Am going to do something far beyond what you are capable of, just as almost
3 years ago I did something far beyond what you knew was capable. I am calling you to leave the focus of the John the
Baptist ministry and travel with My Son out into the wilderness for a season of fasting and prayer. It can be lonely there.
You will miss the parties and the laughter and the drunkenness. But, I say to you if you embrace this death and do not
trust in what you have in place, or in motion, I will give you new ministries and a deeper anointing. I will give you the
treasure of the secret places rather than the joy of the parties. I say to do I want to do these things not because I am
against you but because I love you so deeply My children and I desire for My joy to be even stronger within you. And
when you experience that joy you will have a strength for ministry you have never known before. And this joy will be very
contagious to the lost and broken outside of the existing church.
But I do warn you, just as not all of John the Baptist’s disciples went on to follow Jesus, not all of your leaders will be
able to make this transition. Do not be hung up on everyone making the transition, because some I have given you for the
refreshing stage, but others I have given you are for both, and there are some I have given you that are now coming that
you know not of.
Let each in his heart of hearts decide at this time to pick up their cross and follow Me into the deeper things. Because to
whom much is given much will be required. And I say to you to always know this: "I love you with a love beyond what you
can understand. Trust Me and follow Me with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding. If you will do that I
will accomplish all of these things I have placed on your heart and even more, because I love you."
Marc A. Dupont

Pruning ALL The Way

Susan Fochler
The recent word on "Tree Stumps" reminded me of something the Lord showed me recently that might be of interest to
anyone going through a time of purification.
Last fall I noticed one of my lemon trees looking rather ill and forlorn. It was a dwarf tree and small, but fairly old and past
producing much fruit. So I decided to remove it so I could plant some other, more interesting tree where it had stood. I
was lethal; with my husband’s help, cut it at the base of it’s trunk, practically down to the roots. I figured with a little time
the wood would dry out and rot and be easier to remove. My husband dug out the earth all around the trunk, so you could
see some roots.
As you all probably know, we here in California experienced "El Nino" this year, and received approximately twice the
normal rainfall as the average year here in the San Francisco area. Upon going outside during a break in the rain last
spring I was quite surprised to notice several inches of fresh, lively, healthy-looking growth on that short root; the one that
had looked so very dead last fall. When I went out a few weeks later it was up to about three feet! The Lord immediately
reminded me of some things. It’s relatively easy to allow a little pruning here or there; you still have other "branches" to
fall back on. But allow Him to lay an ax to the root of our being? Surely a loving, compassionate God would not want to
do that. Fortunately, He knows more than I, and He knows what is best for me.
It’s like this: When we truly and submissively surrender ourselves to Him, in His gracious kindness He cuts us back,
severely; much more severely than we would have chosen. We do not, very often, choose death with grace and
thanksgiving. We wonder, "but what about these good things I’m doing for you, Lord? What about the healings, the
answered prayers, the encouraging prophecies? People were so touched and moved by them? Why are you punishing
me?"
But what He knows, and what we gradually come around to realize, is that the process of dying does not destroy, it
rejuvenates and restores. The lemon tree that is severely pruned back remains a lemon tree; it does not become an
orange tree. The genetic of the lemon tree does not change…it just loses the old, dead, unfruitful wood. The branches
grow back much more quickly, the leaves are lush. There is a promise of fruit so much richer and better than anything
that tree has produced for a long, long time. So, we can choose. We can sit in regret for what might have been if things
remained the same, or we could remember, with thanksgiving, what we have learned and experienced, and use them as
a springboard into newer, fresher times with Him. Dying requires us to change; those old branches are not coming back.
Praise God, they aren’t coming back! The new ones are going to look different, but their essence is of the same tree.
And, by virtue of dying, we surrender the ego-sensitive parts of who we are, like our prophetic, teaching or other giftings.
We are then so much freer to be His and act on His behalf, and not in a way that focuses on human approval and
acceptance. When Jesus died on the cross he came back, resurrected, not as a newborn babe but as a fully grown God-
man. When we allow our loving Jesus to cut back ALL the way, we do not lose anything, although appearances(and
feelings) might suggest otherwise. And we are not cut back so that we have to begin all over again, but are raised "fully
grown" just as our precious Savior was on the third day.
Susan Fochler

Purified By Fire, A Vision

John Snider
Brother Somers:
I have never submitted anything to you before, but I read your page often. Something happened to me about three months
ago, that I have only told my wife and a couple of brothers in Christ. I feel that I should tell others, hence this e-mail. We
were singing "Holy is the Lord" at church, and I got a glimpse in my spirit of something that I will never forget, I will do my
best to describe it:
I saw a huge expanse, similar to a massive square or courtyard that contained people as far as the eye could see in all
directions, all laid out in rows very closely spaced together. The majority of the people were down on one knee with their
head bowed down and their arms wrapped or folded over the top of their head in a protective gesture, as if they were
hiding or trying to protect themselves. They were black, the color of coal, and this blackness was a hard shell or crust,
like porcelain or clay that had been fired in an oven. They all looked like statues, but I knew that they were people. Here
and there throughout this multitude were people that looked like something out of a horror movie. They were standing
upright, with their arms open and sticking out to their sides at a 45-degree angle downward, with hands open and facing
forward, completely open in stance. They were not black and crusted like the others that were kneeling. The flesh on
these individuals was rotten and dripping, oozing, even an occasional small piece fell off. Their clothes were torn, no more
than filthy rags that blew with the breeze. Everyone faced to my left.
I looked up and to my left, and saw suspended in mid-air, a huge throne made of bronze. On this throne sat the Lord
Jesus. I never saw Him, but I knew that it was Him. No one needed to tell me, I just knew. Out of the rear portion of His
throne came clouds that billowed up behind Him with lightning and claps of thunder. Out of the front of His throne came
shafts of fire that looked like a solar prominence in the way that they moved, almost liquid, flowing and billowing. These
shafts of fire shot across the top of the crowd assembled before Him, and struck first one, then another of the people who
were standing erect and facing Him. When it struck them, it didn’t just flow around them, it struck them with violence and
impact, causing them to stagger back or totter, the rotten flesh being blown off of them in chunks and sheets where the
fire struck them, and was consumed by the fire as it was blown away. Where the flesh was burned away, they now
looked as if they were made of bright gold, with light shining in rays from their bodies. Often it took several of the shafts
of fire hitting them to consume all of the flesh, but when it was all consumed, they shined like polished gold, without
facial features or gender. This seems crude, but as close as I can come is they looked like the statuette on top of an
Oscar award. This is where it ended.
I understand part of it, but I would appreciate some help with interpretation. If you feel that it is the Lord's will to include it
in you page, please feel free. Thanks for your time.

Prophetic Warning to New Orleans

Richard Berget
I was awakened at around 5 AM, Friday morning, on July 3rd. I began to pray and write down this message:
As Jesus struggled obediently towards the place of his crucifixion, He turned to the crying women who followed Him and
prophesied: "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.....for if they do
these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry"? - Luke 23:28-31. Jesus foretold the destruction of Jerusalem
with the slaughter and captivity of its inhabitants. (Matthew 24:1 & 2).
God's greatness is displayed in His patience, mercy, and long suffering with wayward man. But it is dangerous, and can
be catastrophic to wrongly assume that His delay in judging us somehow shows His approval of our flaunting of
wickedness. "These things (sins) hast thou done, and I kept silent; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such as one as
thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes." - Psalm 50:16-22.
God delayed His destruction of the world by flood until Methuselah died, the oldest man who ever lived as recorded in
Genesis 5:27 (969 years). (His name literally meant: "After him, judgement comes"). Yes, God is slow to anger (Psalm
103:8). But His wrath can be provoked with devastating results (Psalm 2).
The sword of God's righteous judgement is being stayed by a small, despised remnant of prayer intercessors why cry out
day and night for God to show mercy. (Ezekiel 9). The prophet Jonah was angry with God for sparing the city of Nineveh.
There are some misguided people praying for God's wrath to fall on New Orleans, but their hearts are not right. God sees
fallen man like little children who have stubbornly run out into a mine field. He takes no pleasure in watching us destroy
ourselves. (Ezekiel 33:11). He has given us a free will to choose life or destruction. (Deuteronomy 3:15-19).
The cup of God's wrath trembles over New Orleans, full to the brim. The innocent blood of aborted infants and those
murdered in our streets cry out from the ground for judgement. (Genesis 4:5-11). Elected officials, entrusted with the duty
and privilege of serving and protecting its citizens, have "framed mischief by a law". (Psalm 94:20-23). Pastors, rabbis,
and priests, fearful of upsetting their financial bases, have remained largely silent. The passionate flames of holiness and
sharpened sermons able to sever the binding shackles of sin holding their flocks are sputtering and dying.
And yet, God is silent. Perhaps the calm before the storm? Judgement, like iron filings to a magnet, is drawn to
unrestrained, unbridled sin. "For when Thy judgements are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn
righteousness". - (Isaiah 26:9&10). "God is angry with the wicked every day". - Psalm 7:11-13.
Perhaps the Christians reading this are providing a hearty "Amen Corner!" Brethren, let US be sobered and shaken from
our slumber in understanding that God is even angrier at those who claim to know Him and yet disobey Him. Jesus
called us the salt of the earth (preservative), but we have lost our savor. We will be cast out and trampled unless we
repent. (Matthew 5:13-16). The judgement you are praying to fall on the wicked is coming to the apathetic church FIRST.
"For the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God....." - I Peter 4:17&18.
God told His people in Amos 4:7 & 8 that He held back the rain from one city because of their sin and allowed rain upon
another city. Mark this down. God WILL get the attention of this city. Pastors, priests, politicians, professionals,
professors, pushers, pimps, prostitutes, performers, and perverts---listen carefully. God wants to extend mercy. Who
knows? Perhaps we might turn to the Lord with all our hearts and be spared as was Nineveh. Perhaps. Perhaps not. (?)
Why wait until He withholds the rain? Why wait until He strikes your river and causes it to stink? Why provoke Him to dry
up the lifeblood of tourist dollars sustaining the city? Why dare Him to lift His hedge around the city, making us
vulnerable to unbelievable lightening storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes? Why??? Because "the heart of the sons of men
is fully set in them to do evil". - Ecclesiastes 8:11.
To those taking this message seriously, I offer this prayer: Lord, "in wrath remember mercy". - Habakkuk 3:2. Awaken
your Church. Turn our hardened hearts back to You! Break down the walls of pride and prejudice that divide us. Help us
to speak the truth in love, to warn the wicked, clothe the naked, feed the hungry, visit the prisoner, adopt the orphans,
relieve the oppressed, ease the affliction of the widows and the fatherless, and cry out for the defenseless unborn
children. Open the Heavens and come down in glory and power. Let us bring forth the genuine fruits of true repentance
and turn away the fierceness of your wrath. Revive us and spare us in Your mercy, O Lord! Amen!

Prepare Your Hearts

Steve Lincoln
As I was praying earlier today, the Lord gave me the following word, which I believe is very timely
"Prepare your hearts My people, for I am about to pour out My Holy Spirit upon you in a measure and power that you
have not yet seen.
I will open up the dry ground and pour the refreshing water of My Spirit upon the parched soil.
Where there has been dryness and death, I will bring life in abundance and the fruitfulness of My Kingdom will be seen in
the land.
Do not look to your agendas or your own ideas, because what I am about to do is a new work, which will establish My
Church as I want it.
In order for you to become the spotless Bride for My precious Son to marry, you must be shaken and set free from those
things that would prevent My hand moving in your lives. My Son deserves perfection, and I will not allow anything less to
be prepared for Him. Do not try to prevent what I am doing in your lives, or in your land, because I have set My hand to
this work, and nothing will prevent it. If you try to stand in the way of what I am doing, then you will not stand in the days
ahead. Only those that are willing to be moulded by me into the shape that I am forming will stand, and those that stand I
will use mightily in these days.
Be strong and courageous, and full of joy, for I have overcome the world, and as you trust in Me, you too will overcome
those obstacles that are before you. There is nothing that we cannot handle and overcome together -nothing at all.
As you speak out in wisdom to those that do not know me, you will begin to notice a change in their response, for I am
preparing the ground, and the harvest will soon follow.
I am doing My part in these days, are you willing to do yours?
Remember where it is that you have all come from, and the fact that if you had not heard and received My gospel, you
would be lost in the darkness and heading for a Godless eternity.
Know that I am the answer to all of your problems, and I have your hand in mine as you face each day, and as you step
out in faith. Know that I will never leave you to face any situation alone.
It is time to let go of your personal ideas of what a disciple of mine should be like, for I am raising up a new army in these
days, one which will shock the Church and unbelievers alike, but I tell you that My army will arise, and will storm the
gates of hell in My Name, and set the captives free.
I am also about to show to those who are ready to pay the price, great secrets of My kingdom. I will give the keys of My
Kingdom to those that are willing to receive and to run with Me.
I will give fresh revelation of My strategy, and fresh revelation on reaching those who are lost in the darkness of false
religions and the occult. I will show to you the secrets of the spiritual warfare that is taking place in the world today, but
you must be prepared to leave your own ideas behind.
As you come into the secret place, and stand before Me face to face, I will show you things that will take place, and I will
also show you behind the scenes, into the spiritual arena.
You will find that many of My prophetic people will begin to speak detailed and accurate words of revelation and
guidance, that are exactly the same all over the world. Even My seasoned prophets will be amazed at what is being
brought forth in these days, for I tell you that as you approach the end of the age, not only is the warfare getting stronger,
but the need for clarity and direction for My church is greater than ever before.
I long to spend time with you My people, in an intimacy that you have not yet known, and as you leave those things that
seek to ensnare you, and to keep you from My presence, I will lead you in deeper into My presence, until you behold Me
face to face, for I love you with an endless love."
God bless you all, and I pray that this word encourages and strengthens you,
Steve Lincoln.

Questions About The Second Thunder

Bob Neumann
[Libby Magnello wrote in to ask for an explanation of the Doctrine of Acceptance and The Theory of
Dominion Theology, as mentioned in The Second Thunder by Bob Neumann. Here is Bob's Reply]
Blessed be you Daughter of ZION for asking. no one else will, tells you the true state of those
attending the circus.
THE MASTER called it a DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE. Many obviously were quick to jump up and
throw their pet offenses into this category. But let me first state that like everything THE MOST HOLY
SPIRIT has taught me in the past few years these 'issues' are two-edged swords. All that this means
is that they have a double relationship within the church, all four do. And you are the only one to
question ACCEPTANCE. Many people are pointing to the moves for "UNITY" in the BODY and
"ECUMENICALISM" as the evils THE LORD is speaking of. That is because they have an agenda
they serve. Anything that ''seems to support my agenda'' is acceptable to me. I hope you caught it!
THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE is not the issue of the WORLD COUNCIL OF CHURCHES and
their ''everybody in it together" but the idea that I can only accept you if you meet my agenda; fulfill my
needs, make sounds like I make, hate the stuff I hate. I guess there are those who read the SECOND
THUNDER and said ''hey, I told ya "PROMISE KEEPERS was of the devil, now I know why!" Only
"PROMISE KEEPERS'' was a sovereign move of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, in it's time and in it's
season. Those that want to use it to build personal ministries are the other edge of this sword so to
speak.
THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE has a branch that says if you believe in something and I say I
do, you have to accept me, and everything I say and believe. Of course their next statement is ''if you
do not accept me 'carte blanche' you are not of GOD. Boy LIBBY, I sure have gotten a lot of that lately.
Question a false prophet and get cursed quickly and be told you are ''of THE DEVIL, SERPENT
SEED''.
So if I can put it in a nut shell THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE has two major smells that
GREATLY OFFEND ABBA'S SENSATIVE NOSE. The first is the aspect that man decides what is
''acceptable'' in 'his own eyes', scripture reference:
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own
eyes. Judges 21:25 (KJV)
Man accepts that which meets his needs. like the Poodle in heat. This may sound crude but it was
what THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT showed me most explicitly. Ministries, denominations, pastors,
leaders are like an animal in heat looking ''to be mounted'' by anything that will ''fill their need''. So a
denomination will embrace the HOMOSEXUAL agenda, because the ''sin is already in the camp''.
Pastors will preach ''secular humanism'' and not the GOSPEL because they ''never knew''
JESUS....ABBA....THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. They went to seminary/bible college as church goers
and not as servants and got a liberal humanist education. What else will they preach? Bring in a new
book about ''self-....." and they go to bed with it, even if it's origin is humanism, or Hinduism or
whatever.
Now the second aspect is we can put aside the GOSPEL to accept others as ''true believers''. This is
the real DEMON DOCTRINE behind "ECUMENICALISM''. pagan Rome boasted all ''roads lead to
ROME''. Actually they lead to hell, all except the ONE that is straight and narrow.
Most ''Christians'' who point fingers at this DEMON DOCTRINE are in error so we have to be careful.
Please understand that most DEMON DOCTRINES are intended to keep the CHURCH divided and
at each other's throats. They've worked pretty good so far haven't they! If the Pentecostals can not
tolerate other Pentecostals, how can they work with Baptists, Lutherans, etc.
ECUMENICALISM says all the earth mother's kids, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Moslems, etc have
an equally legitimate spirituality. And we can all work together to meet everyone's
needs/agendas/goals. Now we know this is a lie. But to say we can not unite true Christians together
because of ECUMENICALISM is because that person really believes ''my Christianity'' is the only
TRUE CHRISTIANITY, and unless you line up with me.... and we are back to the real issue.
Sister Libby....90% of the AMERICAN APOSTATE CHURCH would not let me in the door if it took
one look at me, or read one thing I put out on the internet. I am ''unacceptable''. It gives me a warm
feeling to know I chose to serve the MASTER, and not man.
Now on to "THE THEORY OF DOMINION THEOLOGY''. Let me simply say that all that falls under the
umbrella of "Dominion Theology"/''Kingdom Theology''/''new Constructionism"....and a lot of other
names is simply this:. We will use our ''rights'' as free citizens to vote into office ''Christian candidates''
who will slowly bring America back to be a godly nation. Over time our ''good influence'' will spread
and we can legislate morality and righteousness. In time we will take the gospel to the world and bring
the world under our righteous control and then JESUS will return and reign forever. It might take
40,000 more years, but we have god on our side.
Sounds sort of strange, until you realize this belief system is what motivates the "Christian Coalition",
and those that ''founded it".
Here is the problem, back in the 1940's-1950's this move went through the Roman Catholic religious
orders. It started in the third world countries where secular humanism and Marxism said all you young
catholic priests have the ''moral high ground'' and can lead your people both spiritually and politically
to bring about ''social change''. In many places elections were won and change was initiated. in the
case of South and Central America when reform began it was halted by force. When this occurred
religion went with the revolution. Remember Nicaragua and that 15 of the original Sandinista Council
were ex-Jesuit and ex-Maryknoll Catholic priests?
Many American church leaders are preaching a gospel of ''activism''. we have to get active, have
programs, do ''stuff'' to save the lost. Why ''stuff''. JESUS said for us to ''bear witness'', ''preach the
GOOD NEWS (BASAR...in HEBREW) of THE KINGDOM, not to build a KINGDOM that is ''right in our
own eyes".
The AMERICAN CHURCH wants to be entertained. They want to see ''signs and wonders''. So the
church performs music instead of adoration, laser shows instead of the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, skits
and mime over the WORD. None of these things are wrong in themselves, if THE WORD is preached.
but if it isn't all you got is a HOT DOG with no meat, all filler.
THIS "THEORY" like all "THEORIES'' substitute man's ideas over GOD. Take ''evolution'' for one.
DOMINION THEOLOGY believers have been prophesying all kinds of stuff about AMERICA repenting
just like NINEVAH. They preach that GOD put BILL CLINTON into office to ''get saved'' and turn
AMERICA back to GOD. The problem is that Bill claims to be a ''born again Baptist'', has since he
first ran for office. The media shows him going to church on occasion carrying his bible. So we look
back to the DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE briefly here. The liberal left Christians see Bill as a fellow
''believer'' doing the ''best he can', and accept him. The conservative right Christians see Bill as the
reincarnation of AHAB, with his own JEZABEL

selah.
Now we have a group that has espoused a little of both of the above that say Bill will ''see the light''
and THE LIGHT will be in the WHITE HOUSE.
ALICE BAILEY was saying the same thing in the pages printed by the LUCIS TRUST in the 1940's
and 1950's. and ALICE was a Satanist/NEW AGER medium. Their ''light'' ain't JESUS!!!!! When
America fails to see Bill Clinton suddenly repent and take the 'pledge' we might see more violence
labeled as Christian.
What is real ugly about Dominion Theology is that it throws out the whole books of Daniel, Ezekiel,
Zechariah, Revelation, and good chunks of all 4 Gospels. There is a time of persecution coming to the
righteous they say, but that they will come through it larger and stronger and take the world. That
means no ''SECOND COMING", no need for a BRIDE to make herself ready, no JUDGEMENT, .no
TRIBULATION, no WRATH.
Few people that espouse DOMINION/KINGDOM NOW/or any other label it falls under will come out
and say they do. They just stopped preaching the TRUTH, and preach everything and anything else.
Harvest, but no Discipleship, Soul saving, but no Teaching/Mentoring, Pastoring without Compassion,
Leadership without Accountability, and the list can go on. But my Favorite is the "YEAR OF JUBILEE'',
that does not end. They quote and sing of THE YEAR OF FAVOR OF OUR LORD, and ignore the
DAY OF VENGENCE OF OUR GOD.
I hope this helps. I could not go too much farther in this letter without stepping into the THIRD
THUNDER, which is not time yet.
I don't really understand why these 4 'dogs' are more important than their friends, but it was not, and is
not my call. All four are perversions of the TRUTH, the best lies always are.

Quickly, Quickly
Steve Clarke
QUICKLY, QUICKLY, says the Lord. I have quickened the pace.
Like a good marathon runner with the finish line in sight, I have begun my final sprint to the goal. I am not going to coast
into a winning race, but accelerate unto a triumphant finish! Like a well trained runner who has saved his "kick" for the
final dash to victory, I have kicked things into another gear. Ha Ha, says the Lord, I don't even use gears, but it's so you
can understand My times and purposes!
Yes, things, even time itself, appears to be accelerating. Have I not said that I would make a short work, a quick work?
Do not be surprised by the speed of things. I am about to break upon the world with such dazzling speed........light
speed, that even the fastest will be amazed at the chain of events that are about to unfold before there eyes with rapid,
unexplainable swiftness. Those who continue to run "their own race" will be left in the dust. I am calling to my best
runners in these days to set aside their own ideas and concepts of victory and run with all diligence MY RACE that is set
before them!
Run with all your might! The finish line is in sight! We are so much closer now than we first believed. No, this is not the
end of the race..........but, everything in us is straining for the win. Like the runner who must press through the oxygen
debt of his lungs, and the fatigue of his body, the mental contradiction........to receive, yes receive, receive it, NOW........
that "second wind" necessary to propel him to the victory.
O man of God after my own heart, faithful one, my beloved, my friend........I am so proud of you. You have truly run and
not fainted. Only now, strengthen your heart for the remainder of the race. O yes, there is more. Much more. Draw deeply
from the wells of salvation that I have provided for you. Cool, refreshing, living water..........mmmmmmm, springing up unto
life! aaaaaaaah...........
Rest in Me. Do not forget all the promises I made to you. Not one will return as an empty promise, for I am faithful to
perform MY WORD. And here is a yet another promise to your heart form MINE....."then your light shall break forth like
the morning. Your healing shall spring forth SPEEDILY." Isa 58:8

"If one searches for Truth, he will ignore the false_

Bill Evanochko
The news out of Chicago in the last 24 hours is too gruesome to believe. Two boys, ages 7 and 8, have been
charged with murdering an 11-year-old girl for her bicycle. Police say that they hit her with a rock, sexually molested
her and then suffocated her with her own sweater. After this horror, the eight-year-old went home and watched TV
while the seven-year-old played with his puppy. The New York Times this morning described the boys in court,
their feet swaying above the floor as they sat before the judge.
Several criminologists in recent years have warned about the approaching horror of a generation of "super
predators" without any concept of right and wrong. They are here now. The Chicago story broke just as the two
young shooters in Jonesboro, Arkansas appeared in juvenile court. I believe that there will be more such baby-face
killers.
Up until now, no one truly knew what would happen if you destroyed the family unit, raised children
without a father, stripped religion from the public square, mocked reliable standards of right and wrong
and immersed children in a culture that glorifies sex and violence. Now we know.

The time is coming when Christian leaders in North America will lament in deep grief over the fact that they have not
done their part in preparing the Church for the treacherous times which are ahead.
Why? Because we will be a Church almost totally unprepared for the events we will have to walk through. Many
will fall as a result.

"We start praying for repentance to come upon this nation. So the Lord sends a drought. So what do we do. We
flood the churches and pray for rain. And become a stumbling block to the son of God. You know Elijah prayed for
the judgments of God! He was in harmony, he was in agreement with those judgments, because he knew what they
were for. He knew their purposes. He was of one mind and one heart, with the Lord. And if we are of one mind and
one heart for him, when it's time for those judgments to come, we will be praying for them and not against them. "

"In every move of God; in every revival I think there are three ingredients that make up the revival. And I think they
go in chronological order as they did here with Moses [Ex. 3] First we will find the phenomena of the Holy Spirit.
Or the Phenomena of God. And after the phenomena of God I think we will encounter the Presence of God. And
after encountering the presence of God, I think there's a transition into the Purpose of God. "
Larry Randolph
transcribed from a taped message given on Jan 23, 1997
There is usually quite a bit of flesh mixed in with moves of God when they first begin. This is because He usually has
to begin with the immature who have not yet become "old wineskins," unable to contain the new wine. Movements
usually become purer as they make progress, but those who have a religious spirit and refuse to be a part of anything
that has "mixture" (which there always is) usually miss what God is doing altogether, and often become opposers of
it.

From Jim Bakker

Morningstar Prophetic tape of the Month recently had a tape titled
'Cleansing the Chamber' by Jim Bakker. I would like to share a couple of quotes from that tape.
1. 'It is a time of restoration coming; and I want to give you a warning.

What we've gotten by with for the last decades we will not get by with in 1997 even. God is not going to wink anymore."
2. "But I've got to tell you this before I give you this last portion. I believe we are already in the book of Revelation. In fact,
I believe we're in chapter six.
I was never going to preach this, but I find myself telling people this now.
The Bible says, in the last days we're to open the book of Revelations and read it.
I studied the book of Revelation, one word at a time. I had time. They don't call it doing time for nothing. I had time. I took
every word in the book of Revelation and run it through the Greek, and studied the meaning.
And when I got into chapter six, if fact I think I know where the rapture takes place, but I won't debate that with you right
now. But I have a feeling we might go through a little tribulation.
I think that's why I had to go to prison. So I could tell you, when things start falling apart, I've been there, I've done that.
Don't jump out a window.
My God will go with you. He will never, never, never leave you. He will never, never, never forsake you. When the world
starts falling apart, it's when the Church is gonna come together!
It's how the bride's gonna be purified! We're gonna take care of one another! Were gonna have the most exciting time on
earth! We've just begun! The Best is yet to come! I can hardly wait!
Whoa! It is going to be so exciting for the people of God! We're the only ones that are going to be able to function in the
next few years! "

Will The Real Elijahs Please Stand Up?

By Bill Burns
(April 8, 1998)
It is obvious that the Head of the Church, our Lord Jesus Christ is now restoring the five-fold ministry to His church, and
with that will come apostolic power. It is also obvious that Satan is infiltrating the Body of Christ with spirits of divination.
Even some who call themselves Christians are unknowingly operating by a spirit of divination. It is Satan's plan to bring
confusion through false prophecy, but his plan is more dangerous than just to cause confusion--it is to cause destruction.
Here is his plan: Satan has inspired some to become prophets of doom whose whole ministry purpose is to prophesy
nothing but judgment upon the Body of Christ. This is not to say that God's true prophets will not bring prophetic
warnings of judgment to the church and the world, but this will not be their total focus. The true prophets of God have
been given to the church "for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ"
(Eph. 4:12)--for the building up, not the tearing down of the ministry!
Those who operate in a spirit of divination and prophesy judgment upon the church are actually bringing a curse upon the
church that Satan can use against the church for his purposes of destruction. If these curses are allowed to stand and
are not broken, they become powerful weapons against God's people. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."
(Prov. 18:21) Curses are real, and they have power. Satanists and those in the occult use curses as their main weapon
against people. So, prophecies of judgements that come through the spirit of divination even in those who call themselves
Christians become curses against God's people. Sneaky, isn't he?
We can know these false prophets by their lack of fruit (Matthew 7:15 & 16). The fruit of God's Spirit by which true
prophets operate is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Gal.
5:23). This will be the nature of the true prophets of God towards the church, not those who are unloving and of critical
spirit.
The Father will not allow His prophets to prophesy judgment upon His own people without first being willing to intercede
for the people and also bear the reproach of the iniquity of the people. This is the Biblical standard set forth in the Holy
Scriptures, and this is how you will know the true prophets from the false: Moses (the prophet of God) continually stood
in the gap for the people and interceded for them. Isaiah said, "I am a man of unclean lips." He was saying he was just
like the "people of unclean lips." He did not consider himself any better than the people. (Isa. 6:5) Jeremiah lamented
over the condition of the people. Ezekiel was required to bear the iniquity of the people by laying on his side 430 days.
Jesus wept over Jerusalem. Paul said in Romans 9:3 that he would be accursed from Christ for the sake of his brethren.
This is the heart attitude of God's true prophets. I say, beware of those who are critical and accusing and call themselves
prophets of God, for they are not. If they are not willing to weep and intercede for and bear the iniquity of God's people
with the mantle of sackcloth (humility) resting upon their shoulders, then they are false.
It is time for the true Elijahs of this generation to stand up and confront the prophets of Baal. It is time for the Elijahs to
expose the spirit of deception and to break curses brought upon God's church by the spirit of divination. It is time for
Jezebel to be thrown out of the window of the church by the eunuchs (those whose flesh has been cut away--circumcised
of the heart).
May it be so, precious Father, that every curse against Your people that has been spoken by the spirit of divination now
be broken by the blood of Jesus. It is my testimony that in the name of Jesus all demonic powers of darkness are
broken, and the spirit of condemnation that has been sent against God's people must now flee. We thank You, Father,
that you will now chasten us and bring Your correction to those that You love, and that the Bride will be found without
spot or wrinkle--in Jesus' name. Amen.

Redemptive Purpose
John Mulinde:
Every nation has got a divine redemptive purpose'
Joel News 194-3. From: mailbox@embraceisrael.org Date: May 9, 1998
As we are in the 50 days of prayer between Passover and Pentecost, with the state of Israel turning 50 last week,
we have entered a season of travail in the spirit for this nation as never before. The old man of God, Simon,
prophesied about Jesus when He was born that He would become "A light of revelation to the Gentiles, and the
glory of Thy people Israel." Luke 2:32. There is no real glory in Israel without Him! This nation is about to enter a
new birth experience that will be very painful. We must carry them in our arms of prayer and intercession until the
birth is completed.
WATCHMEN OVER THE NATION

In November of last year a prayer leader from Uganda, John Mulinde, came to Israel and held a prayer seminar at
the Carmel Assembly. What he had to say is in line with God's call to many here in Israel, and we want to share with
you some quotes from this seminar so that you can stand with us in prayer toward that end. The theme of the
seminar was "Set Watchmen Over the Nation - How to fill the land with travailing prayer for the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit in revival."
* Every nation on earth has got a divine redemptive purpose. Israel's redemptive purpose is the clearest of all
nations, yet the most resisted of all.
* All nations are resisted by wicked forces whose aim is to hinder them from fulfilling God's redemptive purpose.
This resistance manifests in two main ways: torment and oppression, or deception and slumber.
* Prayer has always been the answer to this resistance, but only prayer that effectively breaks through these forces.
Wherever and whenever such prayer has been employed it has resulted in revival.
* The secret is getting the whole nation to pray in one spirit of travail. A network of prayer altars.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR ISRAEL

* There is a prophetic word and a picture for Israel that the Lord gave me (John Mulinde), which I must
share at this point. I saw a picture of heavy rain falling in the Land with a lot of lightening and stormy
winds. People's houses were seen falling down, together with every man-made security that they trusted
in. They ran out for shelter, and believers were seen receiving them into their houses. Jews and Arabs
alike are running for shelter. Multitudes and multitudes were seen coming in, but the houses don't get
full.
* The Lord then gave me a scripture, Micah 5:3-4, saying, "Therefore Israel will be abandoned until the
time when she who is in labor gives birth and the rest of his brothers return to join the Israelites. He will
stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they will live securely, for then his greatness will reach to the ends of the earth."
* The following is the interpretation: An outpouring of God's Spirit upon Israel is very imminent. It will
result in many Israelis and Arabs turning to Messiah. A miraculous working of God's hand shall bring the
remnant of His people home. There is a very close relationship between what is going to happen in Israel
and the worldwide move of the Holy Spirit. This outpouring will be accompanied by a painful time of great
trouble and turmoil, which is soon to break over Israel (vs. 3). It all has to do with Israel's redemptive
purpose and its relationship to the worldwide body of the Messiah. The evil one is going to use his forces
from the Four Corners of the world to resist this Pentecost because a breakthrough in Israel will result in
a chain fulfillment of end time prophecies for the whole world (vs. 4).
* The Lord is preparing His people, within the Land, for the forthcoming harvest. There will be many
deep and difficult changes in the lives of many ministers and lay people, to prepare them for the
challenge ahead. But this is necessary if they are going to cope, at all, with the great work.
* Before all this happens, the Lord demands that there be a people willing to stand in the gap for the
Land (Ezekiel 22:30-31), and that these should pray with travail until that which the Lord has purposed
shall be birthed, (vs. 3). The Lord calls for the whole Land to be filled with such prayer without ceasing.
* As many as hear this trumpet call should answer by renewing their covenant with God to stand as
watchmen over the Land and to pay any price that the Lord may require of them, Isaiah 62:6-7, 10-12.
* Let every believer be a watchman. Let every home be a prayer altar. Let every community have a
prayer cell, and every city have a time when all congregations come together periodically to put a prayer
cover over their city. Let us break through the darkness and make an open heaven over the entire Land.
Isaiah 62:6-7 calls for this prayer to go on day and night.
DAY AND NIGHT TRAVAILING PRAYER

There are two ways to do this:
1. Start a 24-hour prayer watch. Let the Land be filled with people desperately calling out to God for the outpouring 24
hours every day.
2. Enter into a daily experience of travailing prayer. This is the prayer that breaks through the darkness. It is the prayer
that sets a perpetual fire burning in your heart. It will release the anointing upon you, and eventually upon the Land." End
quotation.
Join us, as we look to the Lord of the harvest to birth among us these pre-revival dynamics, expectations, fervor, and
discipline. He who began the good work among us is faithful to bring it also to fulfillment.
From Zion we bless you in the name of the Lord.

I Am Removing the Veils

Prophecy through Chip Matthews
June 12, 1998
To those who have ears to hear and eyes to see in this day and hour upon the earth, saith the Lord:
I am removing the veils, I am removing the scales from My people's eyes, called by My Name, to see the strategies of
the evil one, and I am releasing My strategies, saith the Lord. I am releasing My end time strategies in this hour and My
thoughts are higher than your thoughts and My ways are not your ways. But they are just and they are victorious. Lay
down your lives for Me, saith the Lord, as I laid down My life for you and I will reveal to you My secrets. I am coming with
My secrets. I am speaking My secrets to My prophets. I reveal My secrets to My prophets first. I am releasing them
now. I am releasing My end time strategies to have victory, to have victory in Jesus Christ, Lord of lords and King of
kings, Ruler of Heaven and earth.
I am opening up the doors which no man can shut. I am opening up the mouths that no man can shut. Fire comes from
those mouths, power comes from those mouths that the world hath not seen, saith the Lord, to destroy the works of the
enemy by My Word, saith the Lord, by My Written Word, by My Spoken Word, by My Anointed Word. It is by My Word,
saith the Lord, and the Spirit upon My Word, saith the Lord, that brings down the strongholds of the enemy, that
destroys the words of the enemy, that destroys the plans, the schemes, the strategies of the enemy.
Oh yes, saith the Lord, I am walking in victory, I am walking before you, I am walking behind you, to the left of you and to
the right of you, below you and above you. I am for you, not against you, saith the Lord.
I am releasing the mysteries, I am releasing the secret strategies of the day and the hour upon the earth that you may
walk in victory. Hearken to My Voice, saith the Lord, and you shall walk through the fires of hell on earth and you shall
walk in victory because I surround you. I surround you, I cover you and I am with you always.
I am bringing the five fold ministry into one accord; it must be so! It must be so in this day and hour upon the earth. It
must be so to accomplish, for am I a man that could lie? No, I am God and swore by My Name. I swore by My Name,
and I set things in order for a reason, for a season, for a time such as this.
For a reason I have a five fold ministry, each one playing its perfect part, saith the Lord, each one playing his perfect part
in unity, saith the Lord, working together hand in hand. But it must be in this day and hour, and I am refining, yes I am. I
am refining, cleansing, and purifying, and I am revealing each one's position, and I am revealing each one's job in the
Name of Jesus, and there shall be no strife between them, saith the Lord, but oneness and holiness and righteousness.
Oh how Satan would love to tear down the five fold ministry. How he has kept it under his foot, under his heel for so long,
but I am raising them up and he has no power or will over righteousness. Remember righteousness is the key. Seek Me
first and My righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. It is in righteousness that you have total legal
right and victory over Satan and over every demon and every hindering force upon the earth and in the earth and under the
earth and above the earth in righteousness. And that's what I am calling forth in righteousness, and no weapon formed
against you shall prosper. And every tongue that rises up against you in judgment by the enemy, within and without, I
shall condemn, for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of Me, saith the Lord.
There is no weapon, there is no power, that can come against righteousness and stand, for I am for the righteous. I hear
the righteous prayers. I see the righteous. I look upon the righteous. I am in the righteous; I am for the righteous. And I
am doing a quick work in this day and hour for the elect's sake, for the righteous' sake. Oh yes I am, but those strategies
are not of man, they are of Me, saith the Lord. I am releasing them upon the earth and I will clean your ears and I will
clean your eyes so that you shall hear and see clearly and obey Me, and see the salvation of the Lord. Hallelujah.

Repent!

June 19, 1998
The Lord gave me this prophecy on while I was in prayer.
I saw the earth as a child turned over a parents knee being spanked for its wrong doings. The Lord than said to me, " I
have punished this child repeatedly yet it will not obey. I have spanked, restricted, taken things away, allowed things to
happen and, yes, brought things upon it myself. Yet, this stubborn, strong-willed, spoiled, selfish child will not listen.
I have reserved the strongest punishments until last and even now it comes. Pray, pray, pray for the hour that comes
upon the earth is a very dark hour. I have shaken My children, but they will not wake up. It is as if they have been put to
sleep. Behold, you should wake up, Oh House of God, lest you sleep the sleep of death. Do not think you are immune to
what I am bringing upon this place. For if you had done all that I had commanded you to do to begin with this hour would
not have been necessary.
Lift up your head , Oh, My people , for your redemption draweth nigh. Behold your King of glory. He stands even now at
the gate. He is ready to receive His Bride. Now, she MUST be made ready to receive Him. Do not retreat. Do not
surrender for the enemy will come first. He desires to steal, kill and destroy all who are weary and lame. That is who he
will go for first. Come together lift up the knees that are feeble and the arms that hang low. Get your eyes back on Me.
Get your lives out of this world. You, My Bride, Repent! You, My chosen one, return to Me with weeping and mourning.
Rend your hearts and not your garments. Have yourselves cleansed in the blood of the Lamb. This is your only hope. Do
you hear Me? Do you understand? WAKE UP!! Don't put it off any longer. You have no choice. I am coming and my
winnowing fork is in My hand. On what side will you find yourself when I've waved it over you? If you will not repent I will
remove you from off of the face of this earth. Do not play games with Me. You will not ever win. You can not hide where
My eye can not see. Who do you think you are? Will you liken yourself with God? Do think you know as God knows?
No! I tell you all of you put together can not even fill a thimble with your knowledge.
REPENT! REPENT! REPENT! I SAY REPENT!
There is no more tomorrows for you to put it off to. Today is the day of salvation. Oh! My Bride, My Church, My Chosen
out of all the earth, how I have loved thee. and given Myself for thee and to thee. Why have you slept? Why have you
slumbered? Why have you taken the costly things of God and spent them on yourselves? Where is your heart? Where?
How I desire and I shall have a Bride without spot or wrinkle. But, I shall have to wash you clean and scrub you clean
with adversity. I shall wring you out and do it again until you are as white as refiners soap. This process depends upon
you. Will you resist or will you submit? I love you and I desire not to lose even one of you. I want to fill My Fathers house
with His children.
Oh! My children, My precious children! You think this is all about you. Your life, your wealth, your health, your prosperity,
you, you, you. Don't you see? Can't you understand? I give you these things because I love you. I want to share all that I
have with you. Can't you do the same with each other? You can't even do it with your own households or the households
of your faith. You have grieved your heavenly Fathers heart. You must repent, My children! You must get right. You must
turn from these wicked, wicked ways. I have need of you and your service. I need the workers to come forth. I tell you it
is now time to put Me and My Kingdom first. For it is past time. You've no time to waste. I am telling you now so you can
be prepared. Remember I said, I do nothing without first revealing it to My servants the prophets. You have been told.
Now you can not say you were not warned and you did not know. You are now responsible for this knowledge. Call upon
Me and I will answer you and tell you great and mighty things you do not know. For your Father will do great exploits
through those who love Him. Surrender, I say, for today is your day." THUS SAITH THE LORD!

REQUIEM
By Celia R. Okhuysen (USA)
The environment in this dream (February 20, 1998) was black.1 There was not a hint of indoors or outdoors, or of light.
Large choirs alternately materialized in the midst of this blackness. Choir members were adult men and women of
different heights. Their complexions were mixed and everyone had dark hair. Each choir was closely grouped together as
they stood on assembled platforms. Each choir also wore the same black robes with white collars, and sang acappella,2
chanting the same slow, haunting, somber melody. I could not distinguish what language they sang. In sequence, a choir
would fade out after it had chanted for a while and another choir would materialize in its place, blending continuity in
perfect pitch. I had a strong and distinct impression that these choirs sang a requiem.3 Throughout this endless chanting
drama there seemed to be no obvious distinction about each choir, yet these choirs were different from each other.4
It was a dream of endless observation and listening. Upon awakening I continued to hear the choirs’ deathly chanting
echoing in my spirit. This vivid dream deeply affected and left me depressed in spirit, and grieved in heart throughout the
day. (It was s-o-o-o real.) This dream is also a powerful and foreboding omen. So many choirs’ endless deathly chanting
signifies that a prominent death is imminent. The intriguing question is, whose death?
INCREDIBLY, while surfing through TV channels the following evening, I came across a large choir singing a Latin
(requiem?) mass, acappella. The men wore black tuxedos and the women wore long black dresses with white collars.
They sang a contemporary style mass, and some of the selected chants could have quickly tuned most audiences out.
Part of this requiem mass was sung in contrasting pitches of many sharps and flats in the music scales. It was not only
grievous to the ear, but to the soul as well. One particular chant seemed like a wail. It became apparent to me that the
Holy Spirit was confirming the previous night’s dream. Since this program was a prerecorded telecast from a cathedral in
Poland, a prominent figure whose death could be highly considered would be a frail Pope John Paul II. Should he be the
one in question, many nations would truly mourn his loss. History will record him to be a truly beloved and dedicated
servant of God as well as a strong and imposing historical figure who made an enormous political impact in the world
during the twentieth century. (Without doubt, much will be written, and countless commentaries voiced, regarding this
particular pope’s legacy than any other pope in history. As a former Catholic, my personal opinion is that the papal reign
of Pope John Paul II will be recorded in the pages of history as the Catholic Church’s finest hour.) Assuredly, countless
choirs throughout the world will chant numerous requiem masses upon his death.
COMMENTS
1) Black signifies death.
2) Without music accompaniment.
3) Webster’s Dictionary defines a requiem as "A solemn chant (as a dirge—lament; deathly march) for the repose
(peace; rest) of the dead."
4) These choirs portray many nations.
OF SIGNIFICANT INTEREST
A short bio-sketch of the last ten popes are found in THE PROPHECIES OF ST. MALACHAY
(http://members.aol.com/larrypahl/malachay.htm) The last popes are:
"The Labor of the Son. JOHN PAUL II. (Third last pope.) 1978-Present. John Paul II is the most
travelled Pope in history. He has circled the globe numerous times, preaching to huge audiences
everywhere he goes. Even though he was once shot, he has not seemed to slow down. (For the record, he
was also stabbed during one of his appearances in, I believe, the Philippines.) He has recently written a
book which has enjoyed a large circulation. Like the sun which never ceases to labor and provides light
daily, this Pope has been incessant. John Paul II was born on May 18, 1920. On that date in the morning
there was a near total eclipse of the sun over Europe.
"The Glory of the Olive (Second last pope.)
"PETER the Roman" (Last pope.)
A brief bio-sketch on St. Malachay is posted on www.dreamscape.com/morgana/pandora.htm

(Some Biblical scholars seem to conclude that this last pope, Peter the Roman, will be the false prophet of Rev.13:11-
15 (the second beast) who is described as having two horns like "a lamb." [A religious figure.] He will be the antichrist’s
prophet. (First beast of Rev. 13:1-10 is the antichrist.)

Response to Bryan Hupperts'

'The King of Babylon'
by Richard Berget
[This is a response to Bryan Hupperts’ article, The King of Babylon ]
Hi Bryan!
Just a note on the "Sadam" letter. God has shown me very unsettling things in the Spirit. These visions are conditional
and can be averted by two things:
1] Sufficient forces of mature and holy intercessors on the wall, crying out for mercy;
2] Nation-wide repentance of the Church.
Be assured, the bio/chemo weapons have already been smuggled into our borders. Even without these weapons,
thousands of terrorists are here now with arsenals of conventional weaponry, high explosives, and specific targets to hit,
intended to destabilize our government. Our President may be counting on all the chaos to implement Martial Law...thus
securing his place of power.
The only assurance I sense now from the Lord is that He will limit the attacks. Areas that have been "salted down" by
praying Christians will have a measure of Divine protection. I did not see any nuclear explosions during this time....but
that does not rule out radioactive contamination of our water and environment.
Should the church not repent, I did see God lifting His hedge of protection and allow limited nuclear terrorist's strikes
upon major population centers. You can't imagine what warehouse-sized pyres look like when burning several tens of
thousands of bodies! There will no place (and fewer diggers) to bury the dead.
God told me recently: "I am going to shake and trouble the Nations! Prepare for the ingathering of the harvest! Many
conversions will be sincere. Some will come only to flee from the judgement they see coming, but they will not be ready
to bow to Jesus' Lordship. Pray! Cry out! Stand in the gap for the land!"
A great promise I use in intercession: Jesus spoke woes to particular cities He had ministered in (Luke 10:8-16. Jesus
said that Tyre and Sidon would have REPENTED in sackcloth and ashes had He done the mighty miracles for them that
He did for the Jewish cities. I remind the Lord: "God, you CANNOT destroy America UNTIL mighty SIGNS and
WONDERS are done by your PEOPLE as a WITNESS of your KINGDOM!"
If, after this mighty wave of power, America rejects Jesus, then LOOK OUT! It's desolation time!
I know this is not a real encouraging letter, BUT the Saints should be SHOUTING because all these things MUST COME
TO PASS BEFORE JESUS returns!!!
Let's reach this wretched Nation with God's power and love! Let's drop our cumbersome nets and go reap the Nations for
Jesus! He's coming back SOON! What else of greater importance IS there to do but lay our lives down for God?
Love in Jesus & Shouting!

Restoration of ALL Things

Richard Breazeale
So this is Christmas. Somehow it doesn't feel like it used to, can anybody out there relate to that?
Even those who will this week set with their families and open presents, maybe sing a few songs,
maybe pray and intercede, maybe remember Christmas's past and think of that to come. When you
think of that to come just what do you see? Do you still see all that you saw in the years past or is there
a difference this year? Is Christmas maybe a little bittersweet this year? Sweet being with family and
loved ones, but something just seems different, not quite right, maybe something missing or taken
away?
We have been speaking of the Lord our God restoring all things. All things that have been stolen,
perverted, counterfeited.. etc. In this do you think things will look the same as they have and do now?
Just what is being restored and what will it look like? In my eye, in my heart, in all that I am right now I
feel that things will never be the same again in this world as well as in the church. Indeed if things
remain the same most all of us have been mistaken in what we have been hearing, seeing, and
proclaiming. And in me it is indeed bittersweet. I write this and ask for your prayers and discernment
for yourselves in what I write. For I am having a Christmas which is totally unlike any I have ever had
before and I cannot have restored what is gone ever again in this world. Now I do not say this for pity
or deep compassion for myself. But to let you see why I say discern what I say by the Spirit. Because
the reasons for my thoughts on this could indeed be because of the trials and tests I have faced this
past few years. So the truth of this post MUST be seen in the spirit and knowledge of what the Lord is
doing in this day.
I set alone here today, seeking the Lord and writing things that come to me. I do not have to be alone,
but today, tomorrow, I will feel alone even if I am around a multitude of people. This is the 5th
Christmas without all of my children and wife being with me. And it is the first Christmas without my
parents who have been promoted to glory! Now all this is enough to quell the joy of Christmas, but
what I believe I see and hear and feel is not based upon this. I am about to be a grandfather again
soon. I have great joy and anticipation in this. My family is saved, I have greater joy in this. I have
forgiven all and been forgiven all and have much joy in this! Yet, this is bittersweet. I awake each day
knowing things will never be the same, and in this I find is great joy also for my Lord is doing this thing,
He is calling forth His remnant, His Bride, His church to Himself! Yet my flesh knows. It knows that
there will be much tearing of the heart in this as we see the reaping of the tares from the wheat. And
so much of who is reaped as what is conditional upon the truth in the heart and who we really are in
Christ We are about to see in truth who is for Him, and who is against Him. For there is no in between.
Consider this, pray about it, search your hearts very deep and give it ALL to Him.
In great joy look to the coming of our Lord, and what He is now doing in this world! But also know that
this is also a time of mourning and travailing for the church, the Bride, the lost in this world. It is time to
repent of the old and lay hold of the older, what we will call new. Restoration in a time of loss. And yet
all we will lose should be counted as dung, for the glory to be revealed in the new. Bittersweet for now.
Great joy and gladness when we truly see and live and walk that coming! Everything that has been a
mix, the Holy with the profane is about to come to an end with those who truly follow Christ. Everything
stolen from the days of darkness in the church and the government of men over the church before this
are about to come in like a storm to revive, awake, restore His church! His church WILL be a House of
Prayer, His people WILL move in power and authority of the Word. His Bride WILL be spotless and
pure! We WILL be a light on the hill rather than hiding our candles in buildings and keeping this light
for ourselves as a jealous, untrusting soul keeps his possessions.
One thing we should all know from scripture study and personal experience, NOTHING EVER LOOKS
LIKE WHAT WE SPEAK TO! Has the Wormwood and gall come? I think so. Now what will we do? will
we allow it to destroy us, to cripple us? will we seek the Lord to kill us or the caves to hide us? Will the
bitter waters do what the gates of hell cannot do!? No! Lord forbid! Many trials and tests we have
faced just for this time. As when Job was afflicted he did not forsake truth! Such are we brothers and
sisters. Conquerors through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
As the Lord reveals, as you come to the knowledge of what He is doing, let go! Let go of ALL that is
not Him! Go through the bitterness of loss looking to the joy unspeakable of that which comes to those
willing. Don't fight, give in, die, die to take on life abundantly. Walk in the revealing light before all man,
we are Sons of the Living God! All creation anxiously has awaited these days. The restoration of all
things! Praise Yahweh!
This word given for your consideration and discernment. Look below and see the blood in the
bitterness and death. His blood! Our choice..
Bittersweet:
a climbing or trailing solanaceous plant, ..., having Scarlet berries. 2) any climbing plant of the genus
bearing orange capsules opening to expose red-coated seeds... 3) Pleasure mingled with pain or
regret. 4) both bitter and sweet to the taste...5) both pleasant and painful....
Wormwood:
2) a bitter, aromatic herb,..., of the old world used as a Vermifuge and a tonic.3) something bitter,
grievous, or extremely unpleasant....
Vermifuge:
1) serving to expel worms or ..parasites from the intestines, as a medicine...
Aromatic:
1) having an aroma; fragrant; sweet-scented; odoriferous. 3) a plant, drug, or medicine that yields a
fragrant smell....
Gall:
1) something bitter or severe. 2) bitterness of spirit; rancor. 4) impudence (lacking discretion);
effrontery (shameless or impudent boldness; barefaced audacity, temerity (rashness))....also (akin to
bile).
De 29:18 lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day
from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of
gall and wormwood:
Pr 5:4 And her latter end is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword with mouths.
Jer 9:15 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am causing them--this people--to
eat wormwood, And I have caused them to drink water of gall,
Jer 23:15 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, concerning the prophets: Lo, I am causing them to
eat wormwood, And have caused them to drink water of gall, For, from prophets of Jerusalem Hath
profanity gone forth to all the land.
La 3:15 He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me with wormwood.
La 3:19 Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall!
Am 5:7 Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness to the earth have put down,
Re 8:11 and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become
wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

There Is Rice On The Altar

Richard Oliver
Prophetic Word the Lord gave to Pastor Richard Oliver, upon returning from the Feast of Fire Conference in Pensacola,
Florida, 11/16/96.

and reached by THIS - MY OUTPOURING - are as many and uncountable as the GRAINS OF RICE NOW GROWING IN
WATER SURROUNDING THIS CITY.

ENTER IN
RECEIVE
On my way home from the Revival Conference at Trinity, the Lord gave me a prophetic word that I believe builds upon
"Rice on the Altar" The Lord said:
"You think that the work is done, but I have brought in a harvest and now I will burn the field to plant a new harvest.
Surely you should remember that it takes both the river and the flame to bring a crop. Do you not know that which is not
harvested and that which is not gleaned is burned? My flames are burning away that which is dead and diseased. The
next yield will be great and more plentiful. So come and sow Holy seed. Come and sow Holy seed. Come and sow Holy
seed. Sow with tears. Sow with tears. Sow with tears. Then you will hear the harvest rejoicing."

Right & Just

Bob Jones; Written by Keith Davis
3/19/98
On March 19, Bob Jones had a very powerful prophetic experience in which the Lord gave him Psalms 97:2 as an
indication of our present position in the Spirit.
The Lord conveyed to Bob that our first installment from heaven for this season of the Spirit is being deposited into our
spiritual account identified according to this scripture.
"Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne."
(NAS) Ps. 97:22
The Lord coming in clouds and thick darkness speaks of a divine visitation bringing the justice of God. This type of
visitation is like a two edged sword. It will produce judgment and blessings simultaneously. Those that have been faithful
through repentance and intercession will find this to be a season of cleansing and blessing. We will be cleansed and
sanctified by the Spirit of Truth so that we can become partaker's of His Divine nature and His Holy character. 1 Peter 1:4
emphasizes that we have His precious and magnificent promises by which we become, partaker's of His Divine nature
through the true knowledge of Christ. Those that have not been faithful to God's Word will find that this visitation will
produce judgment and Divine retribution. The church is also being challenged at this time to determine how willing she
will be to intercede on behalf of mankind and stand in the gap as did Moses.
Psalms 97:2 declares that Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of His throne. In order for a true manifestation of
the Lord's manifest presence, there must be a foundation of righteousness and Justice upon which His seat of authority
is established. These pillars upon which God’s throne is established is Righteousness and Justice. The Bible tells us
that those who overcome will be pillars in the temple of God.
"Your throne is founded on two strong pillars-- the one is Justice and the other Righteousness. Mercy and Truth walk
before you as your attendants. Blessed are those who hear the joyful blast of the trumpet, for they shall walk in the light
of your presence." Ps. 89:14 (TLB)
"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will
write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of
heaven from My God, and My new name. Rev. 3:12 (NAS)
We are to be the pillars of righteousness and Justice through which the Lord will execute His judgments in the Earth.
With maturity we will become the trees of Righteousness that bare fruit reflecting His Divine attributes.
In Jeremiah 33:16, the Lord first revealed Himself as Jehovah Tsidkenu-The Lord Our Righteousness. A righteous God
pronounced death as the penalty of sin, yet that same God became flesh, the righteous branch, to taste death for every
sinner and provide the righteousness that is transferred or imputed. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to
anger and abounding in loving kindness and truth yet HE WILL NOT LEAVE THE GUILTY UNPUNISHED. The heart cry
of the Spirit is to REPENT and RETURN to the Lord that times of refreshing may come from His presence. However,
there will be certain judgment for those that do not.
In the old Testament there is evident revelation of Israel as being a nation seeking after righteousness, yet in its
passionate desire for righteousness, the people discover their own unrighteousness. Therefore, we become people that
are seekers after hearts of purity and communion with God in holiness. God will always have a remnant of people in the
Earth who seek after Him and His Righteousness. The righteousness of God is revealed to us through the written word.
The first written law was given to us in the form of the Ten Commandments. We recognized the first five commandments
dealt with the right relationship with God. The second five commandments related to a right relationship with our fellow
man. All proper relationships first begin with a proper understanding and relationship with God Himself. Only after we
have a spiritually healthy relationship with the Lord can we move into proper relationships with our fellow man based on
sincere fraternal affection. The Lord is looking for those that can walk together in agreement and unity so that He can
pour out His anointing upon them. When righteousness has been established in the hearts of believers through the Word,
we may then move into a subsequent aspect of righteousness, which is Holiness. The Spirit of Holiness is the very power
of the resurrection as described in Romans 1:4.
The first installment that is being released to us is for the purpose of resurrection power. God’s great power is released to
us through the Spirit of Holiness. At this time, the Lord desires to establish righteousness and Justice in us as a
foundation of his throne and manifest presence. The manifested power of God lies in the cross as stipulated in 1
Corinthians 1:18 "For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is
the power of God."
As we seek the Lord's face rather than his hand we then become partaker's of his Holy character by being reflections of
His image. We will begin to truly KNOW HIM and the power of His resurrection though it also will include the fellowship of
His sufferings.
God’s manifest power is essential to us in becoming the light of the world during the coming times of darkness.

It's been all over the place. It's got a whole lot of different names, depending on what part of the world you're from. Some
people call it 'The River', some people call it 'The Refreshing', some people call it the 'Fire of Heaven', others just call it
plain 'Revival of God'. I don't particularly care what we call it as long as we're in it!
Our work is now so large that I have to take care of it, which means I have to protect it in the way of not allowing any
false doctrine to get into it. Westerners are real 'faddish' people and tend to jump into the latest thing for a little while,
until it subsides and then people go back into their normal way of life. Well I don't agree with that.
I agree with Jesus and going and staying in the flow and allowing it to change you and be completely radical in the Holy
Spirit. You have to do things by faith. Everything has to be done by faith or it's sin.
I am responsible to the Holy Spirit for what happens to the people he's given me. And I'm not going to jump in just
because America jumps in, or just because Australia jumps in, or New Zealand, or England or anybody else. I'm going to
jump in when the Holy Spirit jumps in our work. Now that's not to say I'm fighting it, I never was fighting, please
understand. I was not against the Refreshing, the River, the flow, the wind, the fire. I never was against all that. Every
time I'd come out, or go around the world somewhere, I'd mix with everybody but I was being cautious.
So I went after God. I told the Lord: 'This is what we're going to do God, and if I'm wrong you can do whatever you want
to. I am not going to preach this Refreshing, this Revival, in our work. I will not teach one message on it. I won't allow
anyone that comes from around the world to speak about it in our work till I see you divinely touch us as you have in the
past.'
You may say, 'You shouldn't be that strict. You shouldn't be that serious.'
Yes I should! If you knew how hard it is for me to dig those Indians out of those hills, to get them born again, to get
churches started, to get it established, then you'd understand why I'm so serious about how I undertake what I do in my
ministry.
And it really happened, it really, really happened.
Miracles
We've had over 200 people raised from the dead in our work. God can raise anybody from the dead. It's awesome to
watch.
We had a lady the other day, just before I came over here, a 70 year old grandma, who was dead for about 14-16 hours.
The Holy Spirit touched her and raised her up, but it was after the whole family was brought in. They washed her for
burial. They set her up on the altar in the house, and the whole town came through and acknowledged her death and
gave respects to the people. Then God raised her from the dead! Hallelujah!
It's wonderful. God can raise people from the dead, whoever he wants to. And it doesn't make me any different whether
you believe it or not. It matters that I believe. It matters that our work believes. It matters that Jesus is King.
We see the dead raised, the blinded eyes opened, the lame walking, and all sorts of tumours fall off people and every
kind of miracle - tuberculosis is healed. Yes we get that, we do get that and let me tell you something, that's the very
reason I was so cautious about going into this revival with the rest of the world; because I don't want our work tainted at
all.
Our work has got high integrity. It's new. It's fresh. It's just 20 years old and I want the thing to carry over into the next
millennium with glory and honour and victory! And we will, in Jesus' name, if Jesus doesn't come back.
So, I blocked it. I wouldn't allow people to talk about this new revival that's taking place in the world.
People say, 'You can't tell people what to preach.'
I wasn't telling them what to preach, I was telling them what not to preach. They could preach on anything but this thing
that was going on. We are stuck up in the mountains. It's off the trail. It's not a beaten path. It's hard to get to. It's not an
easy thing to accomplish, and so people never would come to see us.
But now we're a thousand strong and we've got every kind of miracle known, so now everyone wants to come! That's fine,
you can come, but there are certain things you're not going to talk about.
The work must be protected. It's a worthy thing that God's doing. But God can do it because God wants to. God can
quicken the dead if he wants to. I watched him do it, I've personally been in on 19 dead raisings and I know. I have
watched people. We had a couple of girls that were dead for 3 days that were lying, covered in lime and the Holy Spirit
brought them back from the dead. It's wonderful. A couple of teenage girls. They loved it when they got up, spitting that
lime out of their mouths.
Remember Romans 4:20: Abraham 'staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving
glory to God.'
God's visitation
So, about the new wine. I was blocking people, not God. I wanted something that would last.
I visited an outlying village. It took 4 hours in a 4 wheel drive and then 2 hours on foot, uphill. It's very remote. There's no
radio, no T. V., and no outside influences. I was sitting up there in this little hut on a piece of wood against the bamboo
wall on the dirt floor. Chickens were walking around in there.
The pastor walked up to me. He's a little guy, and he was trembling.
He said, 'Brother David, I'm really afraid I've made a mistake.'
I hadn't heard of any mistakes. I was wondering what had happened in the last few days. He's got four little churches in
his area.
He said, 'It's not my fault. I apologise. I've done everything right, like you taught me. I pray everyday. I read the Bible. I'm
doing it right. What happened is not my fault'
I said, 'What happened? Come on, tell me what happened.'
He was trembling. Tears were running out of his eyes. He said, 'Brother David, I got up in our little church. I opened my
Bible and I started preaching and the people started falling down. The people started crying. The people started laughing.
And it scared me. I ran out of the church.'
That's what I was looking for. That's what I was waiting for, when God came in our work, not because somebody came
and preached it, not because I said it was okay or not okay, because I was neutral about it. I knew it was all right, but I
wanted to see it in our work not because I ushered it in, but because the Holy Spirit ushered it in. And he did.
I got together with my pastors and we made a covenant to do a month's fast in September 1995. This was as well as the
3 days on and 3 days off fast that we had been doing that year anyway, so we were ready for whatever God wanted to
do. That year every day at least 365 people were fasting.
God hit me on the third day of that month of fasting, but I continued the fast and on the seventh day he hit me again
greater than I've ever been hit in my life up to that point. But we continued fasting for the whole month.
The River of God
Psalm 47:4-5 says, 'There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God. God is in the midst of her...'
I found the river. It's real. The Shekinah presence of God has come into our work. There is a river of God wider and deeper
than we know.
The minute you think you are accomplishing something is the minute you should repent. Find ways to keep yourself
humble. Look for ways to not be a 'big shot' and to stay in the river. We are the habitation of God, Zion, God's people. He
wants us flowing in the river.
It doesn't matter what's around us - bullets, knives, disease, the state of the economy. It matters that our eyes are fixed
on Jesus. When the Holy Spirit fell on us there was war around us. Bullets were being fired. People were dying.
I don't have words to describe what happened to us when the Holy Spirit fell on us on Friday 27 October 1995. If you had
been there, you wouldn't have words to describe it either.
It's an awesome thing I've been able to witness.
The river of God is here, and it's full. There's plenty for all.
We were in an awesome time. I didn't know how deep we were in the river of God. I'd been fasting for a month, and I didn't
know what was happening. So I decided to get my pastors together in each section. We had groups of about 30-75
pastors in each section. I went into the most conservative area of our mission first, because I wanted to see what would
happen.
At the first meeting, with about 75 of my pastors I got up, I opened my Bible, and I shared one or two verses. Suddenly I
felt, that's enough. They're used to me preaching two hours sometimes, but it hadn't been ten minutes.
I said, 'Stand up.' And they stood up.
I said, 'Receive the River of Life.'
You should have seen it! It looked like someone was hitting them with bats in the stomach and the head. But nobody
was touching them. People were lying over benches, forward, backward, all over the place. I was trying to help, but I
couldn't help. People were just flying everywhere. And these were ministers.
So I went through all the sections like that. I got into one section, and they were glad to see me. They hadn't seen me in
a few months. I stood up. I opened my Bible. I read one verse about the fire of God, and the people started shaking.
I thought, 'Oh God, this is way out.'
So I said, 'Stand up.' They tried to stand up. Some of them couldn't stand up. I just said the word 'Fire.' And the whole
place fell.
It was getting more and more scarey to me. But people were getting healed without anybody touching them.
A man in that meeting had been deaf for 27 years. I didn't know the man. He fell over and hit his head on a bench, and
fell underneath the bench. He got up from there after a few minutes and he took off running out of the room. His ears had
unstopped and he was running from the noise!
Amazing conference
After I had been through all the sections, introducing this softly, it finally came time to call all the pastors together from
the whole work. A couple of hundred of our pastors came. I wish you had been there to see what we saw! It was
amazing.
On the first day there were about 200 pastors there, and the whole church that was hosting us. That made about 450
people.
The first day was awesome. God hit us powerfully. There were healings. I was happy. The people were encouraged.
The second day was even better. It was stronger. I thought we were peaking out on the second day. I got there at 8
o'clock in the morning and left at 10 o'clock at night, and there was ministry all day. We were fixing problems, and God
was working through the ministry. It was wonderful.
But I tell you, I was not ready for the third day.
We were coming in from different areas. The Indians were all there. I didn't know they had been in an all night prayer
meeting. I didn't know that the Holy Spirit had fallen on them and they couldn't get up. I didn't know that they had been
pinned down by the Holy Spirit all night long, all over the place, stuck to the ground. Some of them had fallen on ant
beds, but not one ant bit them.
I was staying about 45 minutes away. I got in my 4 wheel drive and as I drove there I began listening on the two-way
radio. Some of our missionaries were already there, and were talking on the two-way radio saying, 'What's happening
here. I can't walk.'
As I listened to them on the radio I felt power come on me. And the closer I came, the more heat I felt settling on me. I
could feel heat, and I had my air conditioner going!
When I got to the little church, I opened the door of the truck and instantly became hot. Sweat poured off me. I was about
300 yards from the church. The closer I got, the more intense was the heat. I could hardly walk through it, it was so
thick. I'm talking about the presence of God. That was 7.30 in the morning!
I walked around the corner of the building. People were all over the place. Some were knocked out. Some were on the
ground. Some were moaning and wailing. It was very unusual, and I could hardly walk. By the time I got to the front of the
church where the elders were I could hardly walk. I was holding on to things to get there. I could hardly breathe.
The heat of the presence of God was amazing.
The people had been singing for two hours before I got there. At 8.15 on the morning of October 27th, 1995, I walked up
there and lay my Bible down on that little wobbly Indian table. Hundreds were looking at me. Some were knocked out,
lying on the ground. I could hardly talk.
I called the nine elders to the front and told them the Holy Spirit was there and we needed to make a covenant together,
even to martyrdom. We made a covenant there that the entire country of Mexico would be saved. They asked me to join
them in that pact.
When we lifted our hands in agreement all nine fell at once. I was hurled backward and fell under the table. When I got up
the people in front fell over. In less than a minute every pastor there was knocked out.
We were ringed with unbelievers, coming to see what was going on. The anointing presence of God came and knocked
them all out, dozens of them. Every unbeliever outside, and everyone on the fence was knocked out and fell to the
ground. There were dozens of them.
From the church at the top of the hill we could see people in the village below running out screaming from their huts and
falling out under the Holy Spirit. It was amazing.
We always have a section for the sick and afflicted. They bring them in from miles around, some on stretchers. There
were 25-30 of them there. Every sick person at the meeting was healed: the blind, the cancerous, lupus, tumours,
epilepsy, demon possession. Nobody touched them but Jesus.
There was instant reconciliation between people who had been against each other. They were laying on top of each
other, sobbing and repenting.
I was afraid when I saw all of that going on. I looked up to heaven and said, 'God what are you ... ?' and that was the end
of it. He didn't want to hear any questions. Bang!
I was about three or four metres from the table. When I woke up some hours later, I was under the table.
When I finally woke up my legs wouldn't work. I scooted myself around looking at what was going on. It was
pandemonium! When some people tried to get up, they would go flying. It was awesome.
We had five open-eyed visions.
One small pastor was hanging onto a pole to hold himself up. He was there, but he wasn't there. He said to me, 'Brother
David, look at him. Look at him, Brother David! Who is it? Look how big he is! Oh, he's got his white robe on. He's got a
golden girdle.' It was Jesus.
He said, 'Brother Daivd, how did we get into this big palace?'
I looked around. I was still on the dirt floor. I still had a grass roof over me, but he was in a marble palace, pure white.
I crawled over to look at him. He was seeing things we could not see. Another of the elders, a prophet from America, who
had been working with me for thirteen years, crawled over and we were watching this pastor who was in a trance. It was
amazing.
The three of us were inside something like a force field of energy. Anybody who tried to come into it was knocked out. It
was scarey.
The pastor said, 'He's got a list, Brother David.' And he started reading out aloud from the list.
I was looking around, and as he was reading from the list people went flying through the air, getting healed and delivered.
It was phenomenal, what God was doing. And he's done it in every service in our work that I've been in since then. It's
been over a year. It's amazing. Wonderful.
Rev 22:1 says, 'And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of
the Lamb.'
I saw that river. I actually saw the river, its pure water of life from God's throne. If I could see it again I would know it. I
saw it. I experienced it. I tasted it.
God came because we waited, and listened. We didn't jump in at the first sprinkle. We will keep it through prayer and
fasting.
Between 150 and 500 people per month are being saved because of it, just through what the North American
missionaries are doing.
Do you really want it?

The Rolling Of The Dice

Judy Curmi
Judy, my number one priority is getting people saved. In order for this to happen, my true children must
be my eyes and ears and my hands and feet. I cannot do this work myself, because when people see
me again, I will be returning in glory with all of my angels. That hour is not as far away as people would
like to pretend. Sticking one’s head in the ground like an ostrich won’t keep me from coming – or
change the selected hour one iota.
A great many people are under the misconception that things won’t change. They will remain the
same as they always were. Their eyes and ears are very dull. The signs are everywhere. Perilous
times are coming. Those who are not under my mantle are going to be extremely shocked when
events start unfolding. It will be like firecrackers going off at a Fourth of July fireworks display.
Even many who claim to be mine have refused to look at the signs. Part of this is because they are so
unfamiliar with what is written in the Bible. Both the Old and New Testaments are littered with
prophecies now in the process of being fulfilled. How can you say you are a child of the King if you
haven’t read his manual and follow and adhere to the rules of his kingdom? Be sure you are really the
child you say you are. Be sure you are the child you think you are.
Some of the biggest persecution coming is going to be from members of the "Body of Christ"
AGAINST OTHER MEMBERS. The recent attempt by the Orthodox Church in Russia to muzzle and
outlaw the "opposition" is the sort of thing I am referring to. It will not be the only example, however.
There are many people who claim to be mine whose tongues are like rapiers. The Bible is very clear
about how much his displeases me. Therefore I won’t go into it again.
The bell is starting to chime the notes of midnight and still people delay in returning to me, in seeking
me and in changing their ways of life. Children, WAKE UP! The hour is at hand and most are like the
five foolish virgins, asleep and with no oil in their lamps.
Perilous times are coming. All over the world the dice are rattling in the box – the threat of economic
collapse here, biological warfare beginning to raise it’s specter (just as a cobra begins to raise it’s
head before it strikes) there, nuclear threats, both large and small including nuclear suitcase bombs,
environmental and weather catastrophes, the emergence of the European Union, plagues from
animals, wars and ethnic violence, etc, etc.
All these and more are signs I send to warn earth and yet the people are mesmerized with TV and the
stock market! The dice are going to rattle harder and harder. Then, suddenly, they will be thrown and
everything will be thrown into chaos.
Everything is working it’s way into position, just as the gears on an old fashioned clock. This is both
bad news and good news. The bad news is the ferocity of the times ahead. The good news is, I’m
coming back and I’m coming soon! Who will be prepared for me? Who will endure? Who will know
where to turn so they can endure?
Every solution the world offers is a wrong one. Every decision being made, based on what the world
believes, will be a wrong one. Wrong decisions are never good, even in the best of times, but the
results are not nearly as catastrophic as a wrong decision in the worst of times!
FOLLOWING THE MAN WHO IS TO COME IS THE WORST OF ALL POSSIBLE DECISIONS. From
the view of the world, here again, it will look like a very good decision. But following the man of
persuasive and seductive words will be signing your death warrant forever. Laughing and sneering
about this statement won’t change it either.
In opposition to all of this, my Church will shine with words of power and love, in great authority, and
with miracles following.
I will not be mocked. The days of mocking me are about to end. Be on your face before me. Come
close and get to know me very, very well. Sink into me instead of being enraptured with the world. Lay
up treasure of real value, not useless cobwebs that can be swept away with a simple movement of my
arm.
I am calling out so loudly and, yet, no one wants to listen. Take off your earmuffs and blinders. Don’t be
a horse Satan can lead by his reins to the slaughter. Get off the downward path, now. This road is
wide and loaded with people. In fact, it is absolutely jammed with people, all currently "having a good
time". If you’re doing what the world is doing – if you’re in the majority- THEN YOU ARE ON THAT
ROAD. Get off it now, while you still have time.
The road I’m calling you to is up hill and much narrower, but it’s taking you out of the valley of coming
sorrows and into the Glory of my Presence. I am going to continue to pour out my Presence more and
more strongly upon those who will follow this road. They will receive affirmations that they’re on the
right path. I will have guideposts for them along the way. The air will become more and more rarified
the higher you go. The view will become larger and larger. Yet, at the same time, the focus will
become smaller and smaller. The world and it’s pleasures will fall away like so much vapor.
Come into the glorious radiance of my Presence now. Don’t wait until your hands and feet are bound
and you’re no longer capable of making a decision on your own. Bring your children! Bring your
friends! Bring your enemies! Bring all who will listen! Pray for those who won’t!
As I said, when the dice are thrown, chaos will explode everywhere.
Love, Your guide and protector,
Jesus
PS: Let me be your rock and your fortress. Let my strong arm hold you up. I love you dearly.
Rosh Hashanah
A Season of Assessment
A Nation in the Balance
Jim Wies
The Jewish tradition of Rosh Hashanah holds that Rosh Hashanah is the literal new year, marking the time in which God
created the earth. It is a time of assessment, examination and new beginnings. It holds major significance in the time
table of God and has some very significant meaning to us as we endeavor to discern the times and seasons we are in.
Beyond the singular day, there is also significance to the 30 days preceding it, as well as the 10 days following it,
commonly called the "Ten Days of Awe" leading up to the most holy day of the Jewish calendar - Yom Kippur - the great
Day of Atonement.
While some would consider the Old Testament calendar and demarcation of feasts something not to be concerned with
for New Covenant believers, Paul himself gives this statement in his epistle to the Romans which speaks to this issue.
"One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own
mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not
observe it." (Rom 14:5-6) The fact is, God established these times and seasons; He communicated to humanity His
calendar of events; and there is much we can learn from them as we seek insight into what He is doing.
A very brief description of these dates and their traditional significance is where I will start. I will then parallel them to our
present distress as a nation, as I believe these concepts carry both personal and national application.
The "Rosh Hashanah" new year begins this year (1998- 5759) at sundown Sunday night, Sept. 20th extending through
the day Monday until sundown September 21st. The 30 days prior - the month of Elul - is traditionally called the time of
return. The Jews call it a time when we are to sensitize ourselves to our mistakes, and work on rectifying them; a time to
examine ourselves and reconcile relationships in preparation for "examination and judgment" by God. A parallel concept
is that of the individual scrutiny each sheep was exposed to at the end of the summer season as it passed under the
shepherds rod for examination, assessment and sorting. This entire month is signified by the blowing of the shofar every
day for the 30 days leading up to Rosh Hashanah as a day by day call to reflection, introspection and examination of
ourselves.
Having examined ourselves, we then stand before God at the beginning of the new year, as he opens the books by which
He makes judgment. For those who have not fully lived righteously, (that includes every one of us, by the way.. note:
Rom 3:10) there immediately begins the Ten Days of Awe, the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur; a
time to repent and get right with God so that our sins might be covered. Of course we do know that the symbolism of the
blood taken behind the vail and sprinkled on the mercy seat on that Day of Atonement pointed to the ultimate reality of
the Lamb of God, Jesus, slain on a cross for the atonement of our sins. The key to blessing then, as well as now, is the
degree in which we honestly and genuinely repent and place our faith in God's mercy. Peter said it this way in his
sermon of Acts chapter 3: "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of
refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord," Acts 3:19
With that as background, I will now say I believe this cycle of personal assessment and repentance; examination by
God; and entering into a new year of either blessing or discipline; occurs on an individual level, as well as with churches,
cultures and nations. With that in mind as well, let's consider the state of the great nation of the USA.
Certainly the month of September has been a time of wake up call, after wake up call; with the "shofar" being blown on
every "morning show" and every "evening news" broadcast. With lies, scandal and sexual immorality being shoved into
our national conscience, we are now seeing an entire nation being placed under God's scrutiny as He watches a nation
groping for a collective decision about issues of sin and forgiveness. As we watch this national catharsis, a nation is
being weighed in the balance. We see the politicians, many of whom themselves have no right to throw stones, waiting to
see which way the tide of popular opinion will turn before taking a position on the issues at hand. The church itself is
groping for footing as some want to declare an abhorrence for the sins of a president, while others want to declare
forgiveness for a penitent man.
And on the very day of Rosh Hashanah his video taped grand jury testimony will be released, and the nation will again
peek into the soul of a man who has feigned righteousness for a long time but is now having his sin "shouted from the
roof tops" of every TV antenna around the world.
What will we do? How shall we respond? What kind of response will please the Lord Who's judgment is at the door? Will
He write upon the walls of this nation - MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN; "you've been measured in the balance and
found lacking and now you will be divided?" (Dan 5:25) Surely we are being measured and our future hangs in the
balance.
Will the Church respond rightly? Is there a remnant who will intercede? We are aware of the scripture that states: "if My
people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land". 2 Chr 7:14
"He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

Re-Thinking The Millennium

By Bill Somers
To correctly understand the prophetic scriptures, we have to drop our assumption that the
Millennium begins after the Second Coming of Christ.
So what exactly is the Millennium? In the book of Revelation we find mention of the thousand-year reign of Jesus with his
saints at the very end.
And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his
hand.
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them
that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the
beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison. (Rev. 20:1-7)
All this happens after Jesus returns and fights the battle of Armageddon. This passage clearly illustrates that Satan is
bound for a thousand years, and that the saints live and reign with Christ for a thousand years. Since there is a definite
point when Satan is bound, it seems that the thousand years begin at this point, just after Jesus' return.
What I'm suggesting is that God is speaking in generalities here. That is, the thousand years do not begin exactly at this
point but approximately at this point. And that Jesus' reign on the earth does not begin exactly at this point but
approximately at this point. What could make us modify our understanding of the thousand years? How can we best
understand the Millennium?
By taking into consideration other prophetic scriptures, and relating them to God's prophetic week. There are many
things spoken of that must happen on the seventh day that must take place before His return.
By seeing that Christ's reign on this earth begins in a spiritual sense before His actual return.
By seeing that the thousand years reign means the Kingdom of God coming to the earth. Before The King of Glory
comes physically.
First Principles
To see this you have to understand the first principles. Hebrews Chapter 5 makes reference to "the first principles of the
oracles of God" which say, in effect, that to be skillful in understanding the Word you must know these first principles.
The writer of Hebrews does not directly state these principles. He does indicate two levels of understanding. The
unskillful is compared to a babe taking milk, the skillful, to one of full age who partakes of strong meat. This is to
contrast the immature with the mature and the natural with the spiritual. The deep things of God are spiritual, and must
be discerned by the spirit. That is the word is to be understood in its spiritual meaning. Therefore there is potentially a
spiritual meaning to the most ordinary things. Another key principle is found is 1 Corinthians: "Now all these things
happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
(1 Cor.10:11). Briefly, this tells us that there is an 'end-time' application to be found throughout scripture. Specifically, it
tells us that what we consider ordinary things might be best understood in the context of the end times. Many Bible
teachers stress what they call "The Law of Literal Interpretation". I believe that scripture is actually telling us that there is
a law of spiritual interpretation. We are to seek the Holy Spirit for a spiritual interpretation of whatever we read in His Holy
Word. And in these end times, when The Spirit opens our understanding of His Word, the interpretation will have end
time application.
God's Prophetic Week

Now what is God's week, and what does it have to do with the end times? Simply stated, God's week is the notion that
God's timeline, since the creation of Adam, is divided into seven one thousand-year periods. (See Ps. 90:4; 2 Pet. 3:8)
Each of these one thousand-year periods can correspond to a day in a week. Thus from Adam to Abraham are two
"days", from Abraham to Jesus are two "days", from Jesus till now are two "days", and the coming Millennium will be the
last "day." It will be the seventh or Sabbath day of God's week.
What is the purpose of the prophetic week and why should we accept it as a valid tool.
The idea is that God has used the idea of the prophetic week to give seemingly ordinary passages in His Word a double
meaning. In some cases multiple meaning. So that in speaking of the seventh day there is first a literal historic meaning
in the context. And then there is an allegorical, prophetic meaning taking it out of context.
Look at this verse from Exodus.
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11)
Literally it speaks of the 7 days of creation and how the Lord blessed the 7th day and rested in it. Prophetically it speaks
of the 7 thousand year periods, millennia. And tells us that the 7th is to be a time of peace (rest) and blessing.
The simplest, most obvious connection to make is to identify the seventh prophetic day as the thousand-year reign of
Christ we read about in Revelation 20.
The catch is that while there many prophecies that speak of things which must happen on the seventh day, most of
these things take place before The Second Coming.
What I'm suggesting is the thousand years do not begin exactly at this point but approximately at this point. And that
Jesus' reign on the earth does not begin exactly at this point but slightly before. [We can find this illustrated in scripture.]
If the seventh day of the prophetic week is indeed the thousand-year period referred to in Revelation 20, we will see that
this chapter [Rev 20] does speak in generalities. And there is more to be learned by considering it together with other
scriptures.

The Third Day and The Seventh Day

So how can the phrase 'the third day' and the phrase 'the seventh day' mean the same thing? The term "last days" or
"latter days" is sometimes taken to mean the time period from the day of Pentecost till today; that is the so-called
"Church Age." Sometimes it can mean the interval just before the Second Coming of the Lord. Looking at the first
definition, you can see that the last days would then mean the last three days of God's week. And that the third day
would be the last day. In other words, the third day is the last of the last days, making it equal to the seventh day if you
looked at the whole week. That is to say, when we are speaking in context of the last days, the 'third day' is the
millennium! Thus the 'third day' is the 'seventh day'. To confirm this you can find several references in scripture that link
the "third day" with the "seventh day." For example: "He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh
day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean." (Num 19:12
KJV) (See also Num. 19:19; 31:19) Our conclusion then is that references to the third day in scripture will very often have
a prophetic meaning that speaks of the seventh or last day. And this point is important to note since there are quite a few
examples that use the third day metaphor.
Third Day Examples

Here are some examples:
"And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people
upon mount Sinai." (Ex. 19:11 KJV)
The end time interpretation of this is that it refers to the Second Coming when "every eye shall see him." This verse is
saying that Jesus' Second Coming will happen on the third day or last day, and not before then.
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick
cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the
camp trembled. (Exodus 19:16)
This verse from the same chapter in Exodus speaks of God's judgments coming and fear falling on the people. It happens
in the morning of the third day; or at the beginning of the Millennium.
"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." (Hosea 6:2
KJV)
The end time interpretation of this is a) that it speaks of end time revival. This revival is to happen after two days. In other
words it happens during the millennium. b) It refers to the resurrection, when the dead in Christ shall be raised up. This
also happens "in the third day" and not before it.
"And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage." (John 2:1-2 KJV)
This can be seen as a reference to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It takes place during the Millennium no matter how
you interpret it, but it's a good example of how God uses the phrase "third day" prophetically. Note that the bridegroom
and bride are not mentioned or named but that Jesus and his disciples, the Church, are.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land
appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw
that it was good.
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose
seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And the evening and the morning were the third day. (Gen 1: 9-13)
Here is probably the earliest passage in the Bible with end time implications. It says that God commanded the earth to
bring forth its fruit on the third day. Prophetically this speaks of the harvest of the earth.
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy
sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; forthe harvest of the earth is ripe. (Revelation 14:15)
Again this happens on the third day, and takes place before Jesus returns.
In second Kings we read:
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up
into the house of the LORD the third day? (2 Kings 20:8)
What does it mean to be healed and to "go up into the house of the Lord on the third day?" The healing and the third day
are mentioned in Hosea 6.
Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will
bind us up.After two days will he revive us : in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his
sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and
he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. (Hosea 6:1-3)
The latter rain is what brings the harvest! House of the Lord is His Church.
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in
the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of
the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go
forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:2-3)
In this case Isaiah is saying the temple or Church will be built in the last days. And combining these two passages gives
us several conclusions. The healing and raising up is the restoration of the Church. The going up into the house of the
Lord is the establishment of the Church. The coming of the latter rain brings the harvest to the Church. All this takes
place on the "third day" and before the Lord's return.
This verse from Luke mentions the third day as a day of perfection.
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to
morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Luke 13:32
Prophetically this speaks of the perfection to come upon the Body of Christ, during the third day.
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that
it should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:27
Seventh Day Examples

Judges 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the
seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her
people.
In this passage, Samson's wife is a type of the church. Her telling the riddle to her people speaks of the church fulfilling
the great commission and taking the gospel to all the nations [gentiles]. This seventh day event also must happen before
Jesus returns.
Joshua 6:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and
compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven
times.
The fall of Jericho on the seventh day speaks of the fall of Satan's kingdoms.
1 Kings 20:29 And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh
day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one
day.
Here we read of another great victory for the children of Israel [a type of the Church] happening on the seventh day.
The Sabbath, or Day of Rest

The idea of the day of rest is first found in Genesis 2.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all
his work which he had made. (Genesis 2:2)
For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. (Exodus 20:11)
We need to link this to the idea of a place of rest. And then we need to see that the Lord comes to His place of rest on
his day of rest. The place of rest is mentioned in Psalm 132, Isaiah 66,and in other verses of Scripture.
Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. (Ps. 65:1)
Psalm 65:1 is a prayer telling the Lord that praise is waiting for Him in Zion [the Church]. The implication is that He, the
Lord, must come to Zion where it awaits Him. And a further result is that when He comes to Zion He will find not only
praise but also an obedient people. This is because it speaks of the vow being performed, which is to say, His Word
being obeyed.
Psalm 132:8 is a prayer for the Lord to come. That is, for Him to come to His place of rest. And the place of rest is
shown to be the temple, or the Church in verses 13 and 14.
Psalm 132:
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength.
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Several other verses speak of God's resting place being his dwelling place, the temple or the church.
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye
build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? (Isaiah 66:1)
In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion. (Psalm 76:2)
And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the
Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10)
The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest
in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
From all this we get the picture of God coming to the Church to dwell at a certain point in time. And this time naturally
must be on His day of rest. So the day of rest begins with the Lord coming to His temple. And He will do so before His
actual return to the earth.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek,
shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he
shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. (Malachi 3:1)
Though we have always understood the Church to be the Lords dwelling, there is a certain sense in which the Lord is yet
to come to the temple. When He does, He will do so in a big way. It will be The Revelation of Jesus Christ!
Kingdom Examples
Let's state something that should be obvious. The Kingdom of God is wherever God is King. If Jesus is on the throne
of your heart, and you are truly obedient to your King in all things, then the Kingdom of God is within you. When Jesus is
truly enthroned in His church, and she is truly obedient in all things, then the Kingdom of God has come to this earth.
This is what God has intended. And He has given us some illustrations in his Word to show us the pattern.
So to help us understand how it is that the millennial kingdom begins just before Jesus returns, lets look at examples of
the Kingdom in scripture.
1. One parallel to the millennium in scripture is the reign of King Solomon. His kingdom was established during a time
of Civil War in Israel. Peace came later. Adonijah proclaimed himself king and led certain elements of Israel into
rebellion. He seems to be a figure for antichrist. At the same time, prior to his death, David anointed his son as
King. Solomon took the throne and spent several years purging his kingdom of offenders. Likewise Jesus' Kingdom
is going to be established during a time of Civil War in the Church, and peace will come after his return.
2. In 2 Kings, Chapter 11, read the story of queen Athaliah, a clear type of Satan. She ruled the land for six years,
and in the seventh year she was overthrown. The seventh year speaks of the Millennium. In this particular case, the
true king of Israel was crowned in the temple, and those in the temple rejoiced greatly. All the while, the usurper,
Queen Athaliah, still ruled in the city outside.
Likewise, Jesus will build and occupy his temple, the Church, at the beginning of the seventh day [Millennium], and then
physically return to overthrow Satan.
The Day of Thy Power

Psalm 110: (A Psalm of David)
1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
2. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the
morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
4. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
6. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads
over many countries.
7. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
My brief commentary on Ps. 110 is as follows:
Verse one depicts Jesus seated at the right hand of the father till his enemies are dealt with.
Verse two mentions "the rod of thy strength." This is naturally the Scepter of the King. Since it is sent forth out of
Zion [the Church], it means the Kingdom is at this point established in the Church. In other words, this is the
beginning of the Kingdom of God. And at this time He, Jesus, rules in the Church, in the midst of the enemies that
are still in the world.
Verse three says that the people shall be willing. That is, they will be obedient to their King, Jesus, once the day of
power comes. That is when the Kingdom of God comes to the Church.
Verses five and six show events that happen on the day of wrath. This is the day of Jesus' actual return. So the
Kingdom comes to the Church, and the day of power [the Millennium] begins before His actual return.
The Day of Power is mentioned again in Revelation:
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before
our God day and night. (Rev. 12:10)
Here, we have another verse that speaks of both beginnings of the Kingdom and the day of power before Jesus' return.
The Day of the Lord Examples

Early on in the Book of Revelation we read:
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet,
The writer is saying He was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. This can have several interpretations, all correct.
1. Being in the Spirit can mean a trance like state in which the prophet gets his revelations, this being on the day of
the week known as the Lord's Day.
2. It can mean being led of the spirit as opposed to led by the flesh. In this case the prophet is a type of the church
which will be led by the Spirit and dead to the flesh in the Day of the Lord
3. It can mean being in a Spiritual state to receive visions, and while in that state to be on or living during the Day of
the Lord. In this case you can say that everything depicted in the Book of Revelation takes place on the Day of the
Lord. Most of this happens before the Second Coming which isn't till chapter 19!
Now there is a problem with using examples that mention The Day Of The Lord, multiple meanings again. The Day of the
Lord can mean:
1. The entire seventh millennium, or

2. The portion of that millennium leading up to and including the Second Coming, or
3. The severe judgments during the portion leading up to and including the Second Coming, or
4. The days of the final judgments leading up to and including the Second Coming, or
5. The actual day(s) of the Second Coming
In the Book of Revelation, the time covered fits definition 2.
Here in Acts 2 it seems to be definition 5.
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood before that great and notable Day
of the Lord come.
Here is a selection of scriptures on The Day Of The Lord, most fitting definitions 3, 4, or 5.
2 Peter 3:10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up.
Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every
one that is lifted up" and he shall be brought low"
Isaiah 13:6 ¶ Howl ye, for the day of the LORD is at hand! It shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of
Zion.
Isaiah 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is come.
Jeremiah 46:10 For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Him
of His adversaries. And the sword shall devour, and it shall be sated and made drunk with their blood; for the
Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the River Euphrates.
Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of
decision.
Amos 8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day," saith the Lord GOD, "that I will cause the sun to go down at
noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
Zephaniah 2:2 before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the
LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you!
Malachi 4:5 "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
LORD.
What exactly happens on the 7th day before the Second Coming?
The beginnings of the kingdom

The preaching of repentance
A series of judgments on the church and the world
Beginning of persecution of the church as part of the judgments
Redemption of the church while judgments increase on the world
Full establishment of the Kingdom of God in His Church
Great end time harvest while judgments increase on the world
Final persecution of the church
Still further judgments on the world leading to the Second Coming.
In my article, End Time Outline, I have broken these into 5 phases. These are considered from the viewpoint of what
happens to the church. Kingdom, Judgment, Redemption, Harvest, and the Finale. All of this is part of the prophesied
Millennium, The Day of the Lord.
This is the Day the Lord has made, we will be glad and rejoice in it!

earth and MY GLORY shall cover MY people. And know that MY PEOPLE ISRAEL and MY city
JERUSALEM will be delivered. I AM a covenant keeping GOD, and MY enemies who have filled MY

Beware of False Prophets

Thus saith the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Beware of the company of false Prophets who prophesy
smooth and easy things. That say to those who despise ME, the LORD has said, you shall have
peace and prosperity and they say to every one who walks after the stubbornness of his own heart, no
evil shall befall you. They speak a vision out of their own wicked heart. The Sword of MY Judgement is
about to fall Suddenly on this nation. The anger of the LORD will fall upon the head of the wicked and
evil doers and will not turn away until HE has executed Judgement upon all their evil works.
I say to those who have ears to hear, what the GOD of Israel says to HIS Redeemed. Prepare

GOD and him that serveth HIM not. Be ye Holy as I AM HOLY. Rid yourselves from all hindrances.
Come out of the sinful system, MY People, and be not partakers of her sins, so that you receive not of
her plagues.
Signed just a servant.

SEE the dying? Can't you SEE the hurting? Can't you hear the cries of My children? It has come up to Me and My heart
is broken and wounded, and in grief over the stench of oozing pus coming from their open wounds. Can you SEE the
Fatherless? the motherless? the abandoned? Can you SEE the crippled bodies and minds and hearts that MY HEART
longs to heal? Can't you see the INJUSTICE that cries out for a deliverer? Open your eyes and see. For the harvest is
ripe, but the laborers are few who are willing to count the cost,.....who've been willing to be the olive that is crushed to
bring forth the anointing oil.
COME TO ME in your pain! Come to Me with your anger, with your fears. I AM NOT a harsh Father who will crush your
spirit. ...But, I will correct you in love and set you on the right path IF you'll let Me, IF you will listen. SEEK MY FACE,
NOT MY HAND!! Worship ME in the beauty of HOLINESS ! Consecrate yourselves to Me. Come to Me as a child and I
will not disappoint you. Come to ME. MY ARMS are ever WIDE to My own. My ears are ever open. My eyes are ever

Will you let Me control your destiny ????????

HURT YOU, even destroy you, if you think you can walk in hypocrisy, pretense or lies.(Ananias) NO ONE is above MY
authority. I the Lord Your God, am not coming to destroy you, but to bless you and to establish My kingdom on earth.
But will not use tainted and tarnished vessels. I will not use those wise in their own opinions.(1 Cor. 1) I will ONLY use
BROKEN VESSELS.
If I don't CONTROL you, and I AM your Adonai, then why do you try to control others, or allow yourselves to be
controlled, by others, the enemy or the world?
YIELDDD to the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, and I will fill you up and pour you out as a drink offering to the world around
you. I love you as no other loves you. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. ( Isaiah 58:6-12)

Russia, Sweden, Israel and The Economy

Jesus Ministries, Inc. MSC #402, 497 N. Clovis Ave, Clovis CA 93611-0373
About Russia And The Horror Of Great Darkness

Nita Johnson
While in prayer on July 28, I saw a vision. I saw a great beast with huge jaws, and sharp teeth, such as
a great dragon would have. Its fingers were bony with long talons or claws. It looked like a monstrous
dark cloud and was moving at a moderate pace to engulf all of Russia. It was coming up from the
south and moving upon the north fully intending to take complete dominion over all of Russia.
I was at length given to see its heart, and motivation. It was on a path of conquering to destroy. Its
heart was one of steal hatred for the Russian people. Through lust, pride, anger and hate it would
cause the Russian people to once again rise up against the Christians and Jews to persecute and
murder them. Its hope was to utterly wipe out anything that had anything to do with God and the Light.
So, his plan was to incite in the heart of the people a venomous heart of murder to accomplish his
goal of obliterating both. His hatred however, for the Russian people at large was as great as it was
for the church for instance, it was just different.
I also saw the hearts of the government leaders. They had absolutely no care for the people. Power
was the driving motivation of their activities. The more this evil power overtakes Russia, the more this
will be true. I would only know how to equate what I saw to someone like Hitter. It was fearful to see this
national possession take place. The Russian Christians and Jews are already going through so much,
it seems incomprehensible that they could go through more. Admittedly, the knowledge of this
approaching great persecution is not new. But, I now have a little clearer insight into it, and see that it
is now eminent.
The Lord called it: "the horror of great darkness." As this evil presence continued to move over the
nation, I saw famine and great hunger, until the nation looked like an emaciated child that was dying of
hunger.
As my heart filled with mercy for the Christians, Jews, and those who would be evoked into being the
persecutors alike, Jesus strongly impressed me, to call the people into His hiding place and
protection. Further, I prayed that as many as could would leave the nation. I was overwhelmed with the
Lord's sadness and compassion for the people as I wept with Him. Needless to say, Russia needs
our prayers and heartfelt tears before God. Please remember that God's hand of mercy is still
extended to the Russian people and there are yet many to be saved.
Isaiah 5:8-24
About Sweden
Nita Johnson
While in prayer on my birthday, the 16th of August, the Lord spoke to me about Sweden.
Sweden is going to experience national bankruptcy. Man y calamities are assigned to Sweden for a
warning unto repentance. There will be massive fires, floods and winds whipping at 300 miles an hour,
leaving much destruction.
I see what will appear to be a sudden takeover of Sweden as well as the other Baltic nations by the
One World Government.
Yet, God will be a stronghold to His people. He will be a refuge in the time of trouble, shade to the
weary and a help to those who have lost their way. Further, I see a tremendous move of God assigned
to this country, with many miracles by the hand of God. God is virtually going to sweep over this nation
with His might and His power in a huge wave of His holiness. Many believers are going to experience
angelic visitations during this great awakening.
Israel
Judgment I Will Lay To The Line
Nita Johnson
In August, the Lord spoke to me in a dream, telling me that He wanted to talk to me about Israel. He
instructed that I was to read Isaiah and that He would give specific instructions as I read.
The passage He chose to speak to me from is Isaiah chapter 28, beginning with verse 14.
He first addresses the scornful men who rule the people. Few perhaps realize that the Rabbinical
system in Israel is actually supported by the government. Therefore, the system strongly reflects the
government's views and vice versa.
At this present time their views of Christ still remain one of scorn, therefore scorning the only way of
salvation and entrance into God. It is to the whole governmental and religious system that the Lord
speaks. He has controversy with them because they have made a covenant with death, and with hell.
Further, they are getting arrogant, thinking that when the scourge attempts to pass through, it will be
unable to touch them. They have made lies their refuge, thereby thinking to hide themselves in a self-
made vacuum of protection.
So, Jehovah warns them saying: "Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried corner stone,
a sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste. " Jesus is coming front and center, and we
shall see it with our eyes, my Dear Reader. But first will be the foretold judgment. "Judgment will I lay
to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and
the waters shall overflow the hiding place. Then their covenant with death shall be annulled." It is
important that we understand that the hardships now assailing Israel, and those that will assail her in
the near future are for the purpose of sweeping away the blinders that hinder their vision of faith in
Christ.
God is soon going to send the rod of severe discipline over our beloved Israel, but only for the
purpose of bringing the peoples into salvation. Further, what He does, He does with great sorrow.
Yet, He says later in the chapter, that He knows what He is doing, and He is wonderful in counsel, and
excellent in His working.
What is about to happen over there is about to send quivers through the world. The repercussions
upon Israel and Jews worldwide will be staggering. Intercessors need to pray like they have never
prayed before for God's firstborn.
In the Church many are finding out that they are of Jewish ancestry. Further, we are all spiritual Jews
by faith in Christ. Therefore, we should as Christians have a deep burden and even a broken heart
when the disciplines of the Lord come upon Israel. Then we will have hearts like Christ who is also a
Jew according to His flesh.
Really, this is a time for us to weep for all nations, that God might find reason to turn and leave a
blessing upon them. Yet at the same time rejoice in the reality that Christ is soon to wrap up time and
history and we will be home with Him bringing the sheaves of our labor of love behind US. Further, we
can rejoice because we have the Holy Spirit and a wonderful opportunity to experience a real, deep,
and effectual relationship with the Lord regardless of circumstances.
In Christ,
About The Economy

Nita Johnson
We will first see what will seem like an unprecedented high in economic growth. It will be so wonderful
that a type of euphoria will set in. Many in he church will even forget the warnings about a coming
crash. then suddenly, when it is least expected, the crash will come. Interest rates will soar to 20%.
Businesses, one after another will fail. The Euro-dollar will then be greater in value than the American
dollar.
Our recommendation to this coming crises is the following. while we are in a time of economic
surplus, get out of debt. Neville Johnson, a prophet from Australia says to buy gold. If you can, save
money. Then, in the crash you can prosper. Those who are listening to the Spirit of the Lord will do all
they can to prepare for the days ahead. I also suggest that you seek the Lord for yourself and ask Him
what He would have you do to prepare. Those who are ready will ride the wave of America's revival
when it occurs. I say when, as we will experience a revived economy for a while only to fall into a
complete economic fall. It is a time to be wise, my brothers and sisters.
The Lord spoke to Neville Johnson in a very powerful dream about the things I am sharing as well as
to some other prophets and to myself (I hope to put Neville's dream in January's newsletter.) The Lord
spoke to me about this many years ago and it is published in my book Prepare for the Winds of
Change.

Samson's Riddle Part Two:

The 'Rest of the Story'
by Bill Somers
Q. Out of the eater came forth meat, out of the strong, came forth sweetness.
A. What is sweeter than honey and what is stronger than a lion?
That is Samson's riddle. Did you notice that the answer is a question? And naturally a question calls for another answer.
What is the answer to the answer? Now this is interesting, the answer to the answer is, so to speak, the ultimate
answer! And The Ultimate Answer is Jesus Christ! For it is He who is sweeter than honey and He who is stronger than a
lion!
In the first article on Samson's Riddle we found the following conclusions: [see Samson's Riddle by Bill Somers]
a. Samson is a type of the Lord Jesus
b. Samson's wife is a type of the Church
c. Samson's father is a type of God the Father
d. The Philistines are a type of the world
e. The honey is a type of the Word Of God Revealed In Depth, or Revelation Knowledge
f. The answer to the riddle is Jesus Christ
g. The act of giving the answer is a type of The Revelation of Jesus Christ!
This is the Word Of God Revealed In Depth
h. The act of Samson's wife telling her people the answer is a type of the Church revealing Jesus to the World. That is
preaching the gospel to all the world and completing the great commission.
i. One of the main lessons is that the Church cannot effectively reveal Jesus to the World till she receives that revelation
in depth herself! That is till Jesus reveals Himself to the Church. Then the world will see Jesus in the Church.
Now let's draw some conclusions from this allegory:
Looking at point G above, we understand that this speaks of Revival. That is Jesus coming to the Church and revealing
Himself in awesome holiness and irresistible power is what we really mean by revival. Not lots of people getting
converted. That comes next. Point H speaks of the harvest or ingathering that must follow revival.
Now the text tells us that this took place on the 7th day. Prophetically this means the 7th 1000 year period, in other
words, the Millenium. Thus the revival and harvest will take place not before the Millenium but on and at the very
beginning of the Millenium!
Now what else does the text tell us will happen at that time? What is the 'Rest of the Story'?
We just said that the revival and harvest take place at the beginning of the 7th millenium, not at the end of the 6th. Are
there other elements here in Judges 14 and 15 that speak of other end time events?
If we look carefully, with spiritual eyes, there are several. I'm going to share what the Holy Spirit has allowed me to see
so far. This includes:
a recapitulation of the cycle of judgment, redemption and harvest;

the outpouring of the spirit;
further judgment on the world's economy;
the final persecution of the Church;
the redemption of the Jews;
the final battle and return of the Lord.
Before going into all that, lets look at some loose ends from part one and their relation to the 'Rest of the Story'.
In part one to explain the meaning of the sweetness in the riddle, we said:
The honey, the sweetness is the word of God.
Then said Jonathan, …: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of
this honey. 1 Sam 14;:29
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: ….
Rev 10:10
In each case here we took a passage out of context to make a connection between the sweetness and the word of God
and the understanding it brings. But in each case there was a down side; a 'Rest of the Story' that we did not go into.
For Jonathan, eating the honey brought him under a sentence of death! There was a price to pay.
Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a
little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die. 1 Sam 14:43
In the book of Revelation, when the prophet eats the book, there was a price to pay, a bitter result.
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and
as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. Rev. 10:10
Now in our discussion of Samson's Riddle and him revealing it to his wife, the 'Rest of the Story', the downside is that,
shortly after that, SHE DIES! What is this telling us? Is it a picture of the Church being caught up and away from the
judgments? Is it a picture of the Church surviving through a period of judgments and caught away at the end? Or is it a
picture of the Church persecuted and overcome by her enemies? The 'Rest of the Story' is that the Church must die. But
what chess player would not sacrifice his queen to checkmate the enemy? [The Lord spoke this to me as I was writing
this.]
Now let's look a some specifics:
16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put
forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have
not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh
day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter
than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye
had not found out my riddle.
19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them,
and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was
kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. Judges 14:16-20
In verses 16 and 17, Samson's wife [the Church] weeps before him and pleads until he reveals the answer to the riddle.
This illustrates the Church weeping in repentance before her Lord. She presses in till the great revelation comes and
immediately reveals it to the world. It is a case of the cycle of judgment, redemption and harvest. Some judgments having
brought the Church to her knees in the first place.
Verse 18 shows the reason for the Lord's anger against the enemies of the Church who have "plowed with his heifer". So,
in verse 19, following this redemption, during this time of harvest, the Lord executes further judgments on those who have
come against His Church. "The gates of hell shall not prevail." Verse 19 ends with the phrase 'he went up to his father's
house'. This clearly speaks of the Lord's Visitation to the Church. But what about verse 20? In Young's translation it
reads:
and Samson's wife becometh his companion's, who is his friend.
Who was Samson's companion? I always had the impression that he worked alone! Who was this mysterious guy
who shows up out of nowhere and is never heard from again? At any rate, for the purpose of our end time prophetic
vision; if Samson is a type of Jesus, then his companion and friend must be the Holy Spirit. Therefore to say his wife
became his companion is to say the Church becomes the possession of the Holy Spirit! The Church is then possessed
by the Holy Spirit; much in the same way that the virgin Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit in Luke 1:35. This is
another way of saying what the Lord said at the end of verse 19. That is He comes to visit and to dwell in his Fathers
house, the Church.
This is the first statement of the judgment and redemption cycle. Now lets move on to Chapter 15.
1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and
he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is
not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a
displeasure.
4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a
firebrand in the midst between two tails.
5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up
both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite,
because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and
her father with fire.
7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Judges 15:1-8
The cycle is partly restated here in Chapter 15. Verse 1 speaks of the Lord desiring to Visit his wife, his bride, the
Church at wheat harvest. This is the time of Pentecost! Also in this verse the father causes a delay in the visitation.
In verse two he says " I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her." This speaks of the judgment the Lord must
bring against his Church first. [Judgment must needs begin at the house of God.] These judgments will be so
severe that it will appear that the Lord had abandoned his Church but it will not be so. For the redemption comes
quickly after. In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy
on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer. Isaiah 54:8
Psalm 79 shows this in two phases:

This is the Church interceding under judgment.
1 O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid
Jerusalem on heaps.
2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy
saints unto the beasts of the earth.
3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
And this is her warfare prayer calling on the Lord to judge his enemies.
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not
called upon thy name.
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
8 O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought
very low.
9 Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy
name's sake.
10 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight
by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
11 Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou
those that are appointed to die;
12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have
reproached thee, O Lord.
13 So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to
all generations.
Samson's next move [verse 4 and 5] is an illustration of the Lord answering the prayers of the Church above.
The Foxes
Samson went and caught 300 foxes. What do foxes stand for? First they are among the 'beasts of the earth' and Jesus
and the second Adam is obeying God's commandment to Adam in Genesis 1:28, to subdue the beasts of the earth or
earthly demonic powers. [See 'which of You Convicts Me of Sin?' By Bill Somers]
Secondly foxes speak specifically of demonic forces that come against the Church.
In Nehemiah, where the people are building the walls of Jerusalem, we see their enemies ridiculing them and their walls
as weak enough for a fox to destroy. So a fox is a beast of the earth whose assignment is to attack the holy city, the
Church.
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even
break down their stone wall. Nehemiah 4:3
In the Song of Solomon, foxes are depicted attacking vines, and we know the bible commonly uses the vine or vineyard
to speak of the Church.
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. Song of Solomon
2:15
Lamentations mentions foxes as part of the judgment on Jerusalem or Zion [the Church]
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. Lamentations 5:18
In Matthew, Jesus mentions foxes and birds. These are the beasts of the earth and the fowls of the air. [Demonic
Forces]. Because of their inroads into the Church, the holes and nests, the son of man is hindered from taking his place
as the head. He cannot come to his rest and rest his head upon his body the Church till it is purged by judgment. The
holes of the foxes are the enemies breaches in the wall. They are points where the hedge is broken down allowing the fox
entrance to the vineyard. They are places where sin has opened a way for the enemy to come in. They are the Gates of
Hell. The nests of the birds are spiritual strongholds of wrong thinking and false doctrine that fill the Church today.
And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head. Matthew 8:20
Later in Matthew, Jesus speaks of King Herod as 'that fox'. Recall that Herod was a leader in persecution of the Church,
and suffered a terrible judgment for it in the book of Acts.
And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to
morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Luke 13:32
Note also the use of the phrase 'third day' in that quote. This speaks of the resurrection on the third day, and of the
coming perfection of the Church on the millennial third day. Reinforcing our understanding that these things take place
during the millenium. [See 'The Third Day in Prophecy' by Bill Somers]
It is this perfection of the Church that results from the redemption. It is made possible by the subduing of the foxes.
When the foxes holes are closed off, and the birds nests are eliminated, then the Son of Man will have that place to lay
his head, a Church purified and holy, and dedicated only to serving him. A Church that is finally willing to die for Him.
Now back to Samson [verse 4,5], his use of the foxes was to destroy the Philistines crops. Their corn, their wine, their
oil. Their entire economy was laid waste. From our end time perspective this speaks of world wide economic disaster,
one of the judgments we expect during tribulation. So when the world falls apart, the Church will come together!
Now obviously [let's face it] verse 6 pictures the final persecution of the Church.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall
make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. Revelation 11:7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: …. . Revelation 13:7
Notice the Philistine reaction to these disasters:
6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, …."
It is like the world will realize that these judgments are acts of God, and take revenge against Christians out of
frustration. But God says:
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19
[See 'The How and the Therefore' by Bill Somers]
In Joel there is a reference to the vine and the fig tree.
He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: …. Joel 1:7
As the vine is taken to mean the Church, the fig tree is often used to mean Israel.
And so we see that verses 7 and 8 picture the Lords final revenge against those who have destroyed his vineyard [the
Church].
The next section looks at the end time finale with a focus on the Jews, the Men of Judah.
This shows the Lord's final revenge against those who have barked his fig tree [Israel].
9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are
we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou
not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them,
As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. [See Joel 3:4]
12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the
Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but
surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came
mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his
bands loosed from off his hands.
15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men
therewith. Judges 15:9-15
Now to understand this point here, reread the passage and filter out any reference to binding Samson, these details are
irrelevant in this case.
What this is saying is that there will come a time when the World [Philistines] will come against Israel [the men of
Judah] to make war. They pitched and they spread themselves means they come ready to fight.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Joel
3:14
At this time the Jews of Israel will Call Upon the Lord, [Samson up on the rock of Etam] who will come down from the
rock [down from heaven] and fight their enemy for them! So this part of the Samson story is a picture of the Battle at
Armageddon. When the Lord will save his people and destroy the remainder of His enemies.
The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth
shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. Joel 3:6

Satan's Final Challenge

Bill Somers
Challenge 1
In the Book of Job we read of a case where Satan came before God and issued a challenge, and we see how God
took that challenge and used everything Satan meant for evil and used it for good.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him
in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every
side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not
forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job 1:6-12
Satan's challenge is this: If you allow me to take Job's property, he will curse you. When the Lord allows Satan what
he asks for it shows once again that Satan is a liar because things do not work out as he says the will.
Look at Job's reaction! Instead of cursing God he worships God and says " …the LORD gave, and the LORD
hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."
So The Lord accepted Satan's challenge and proved him wrong.
Challenge 2
Then Satan comes forth with another challenge. This challenge followed the exact pattern of the first one.
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and
Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him
in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he
holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for
his life.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. Job 2: 1-6
This time Satan's challenge is 'if you let me afflict Job with sickness, he will curse you. He even plants the suggestion
to 'curse God' in Job's mind through his wife.
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we
receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his
lips. Job 2:9-10
Once again Job's reaction makes a liar out of Satan.
We know how the story ends as we read through the 44 chapters of Job. Job goes through great turmoil and strife
in his debates with his three friends, etc. Finally God Reveals Himself to Job! And Job realizes his sin, repents and is
restored. So in the end God has made him an even more perfect servant and restored to him all things that the
enemy had taken.
Challenge 3?
In the story of Job, our man Job is entirely unaware of Satan's challenges or what's at stake in them. All he knows is
how to hold on to the confession of faith he has in the Lord.
Suppose Satan had come again a third time with another challenge that increased level of Job's trial. The scene might
have gone something like this
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the
earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast
his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
And thou hast stricken him with all manner of boils.

And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Boils come and boils go. Job still retaineth his life.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch him with a sickness unto death, and he will curse thee to thy
face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; even to take his life.
This time, supposing Satan had escalated the challenge a third time, what would happen? I believe that Job would
continue to hold fast to his confession of faith and make a liar out of Satan once again. Later on in the book Job
says:
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him …. Job 13:15
And so Job would have glorified God by his death, still unaware of what was going on in the heavenly realms. When
he came before the Lord for his judgment, God would have said, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter
into the Joy of the Lord."
End Time Application

There is a lesson here that we could apply directly to the End Time Church. She is about to be afflicted by the
Hordes of Hell as the Gates of Hell are opened and the enemy comes in like a flood. She will realize her sin, repent
and be restored in a Glorious Revival. All things will be restored to her equipping her to bring in the great harvest of
souls that God desires.
But then what?
Then we suppose there might be another meeting in heaven, and another conversation that would go something like
this.
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan
came also among them.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said,
From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my End Time Apostolic Church that there is none
like her in the earth, nor has there ever been any like her in all history, being conformed to the very image
of my own son Jesus.
That she is a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that she is become holy
and without blemish.
A perfect and an upright Church, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
One that has obeyed my every command
That has gone forth and preached my gospel, making disciples of all nations
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth this so called church of yours fear God for nought?
Hast not thou redeemed her from all her sin, purifying her in the fire of your judgment
And made an hedge about her, and about her house, and about all that she hath on every side?
thou hast blessed the work of her hands,
and baptized her with the Holy Ghost and Fire,
Anointed her with rivers of oil, signs, wonders and miracles
and poured out your Spirit upon her without measure so that the harvest is increased in the land.
Hast thou not raised up the standard of holiness to frustrate my entire army
But I still have a stronghold left in your so called perfection of beauty!
And the Lord answered "Say on"
You know that I have "the power of death" and trough fear of death I hold all your precious saints in
bondage. [See Hebrews 2:14-15]
But put forth thine hand now, and touch this church of yours with persecution unto death, and she will
deny thee and curse thee to thy face.
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, she is in thine hand to do whatsoever thou wish. So Satan went
forth from the presence of the LORD.
And the result of this we find in Revelation 13
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was
given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Rev 13:7
But we have one advantage over Job. We have read the book to the end and we know that Satan's Final
Challenge is doomed to fail just like all the rest.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
And though Satan is given power to overcome us, we know that we will overcome him the same way Jesus did
when He defeated him at the cross.
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay
down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16

Demonstration of God's Power

Scandinavia
Bobby Conner
On Sept. 7th 1998

While in Copehagen Denmark, I had an open vision. The vision took place as my wife and I had
walked outside the city into the country side. There we stopped to rest, and as I set down to pray,
suddenly I had this strong vision. I saw the Scandinavian nations asleep. The hand of the Lord
reached down from heaven and shook the nations awake. This was very vivid and strong. Then the
Lord said, " This awaking will be associated with the Prophetic ". He said, " This is found in Romans
13:11-14 and will also be in connection with Ezekiel 37:1-10 ". One of the keys to this coming
'Awaking' is Ezekiel 37:7 "So I prophesied as I was commanded." The prophets are about to begin
prophesying as they are commanded, things will happen when the Word of God is spoken. After this
vision, the Lord said, "When you return home, call Bob Jones. He will confirm this word". So I did
speak to Bob Jones after I returned to the U.S. and I shared with him this word. He was stunned and
reported that on the First Week of Sept. while in Denver Colorado, the Lord spoke this same word
about the coming awakening and shaking out loud to him. I am sure this word is not just for Europe
only, but the entire Church of the Lord Jesus is about to have a strong wake up call.

Demonic Attacks On Our School Children

Lori K. Hankins
This past week my husband was having a dream that caused him to cry out in his sleep. As he awakened from the
dream the Lord told him that the demons that had been attacking him were the same ones that were attacking the
school children causing the release of havoc in our schools. He shared with me that there were horrible demons
attacking his knees. They were biting his knees and making horrible suggestions of violence to him.
I have prayed and asked the Lord what the significance of "knees" meant in the dream and I feel it is the effects of being
unable to pray or the lack of school prayer. The enemy has gained access through the void that closing off prayer in the
schools has left. Over the years it has multiplied and now the only thing that seems to bring (non-Christian) people to
prayer is the funerals that they attend in this demonic aftermath.
The battle for our children is a battle for our heritage. Psalm 127:3-4 explains this: "Behold, children are a heritage from
the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth."
Children are described as "arrows in the hand of a warrior". Satan knows that children can be powerful weapons of God's
Grace. That is the basis of his attack and why he is using violence. Children are called to fight, a Godly heritage of being
an arrow in the hand of God, and yet this is where the enemy so cleverly puts his demons. He knows that if these kids
start to fight back, and by the grace of God they will, then the battle will rage in the heavens. Isn't it interesting that one
of the first school killing's was in a prayer circle at a school???
Without knowledge people perish. To preserve our heritage, to have a battle strategy for the coming times of darkness,
we must realize the degree to which the enemy is pursuing our children, and we must rise up and pray.
Pray with your children. Lay hands on your children, encourage them to be a light and a salt to the other children who
they play with. We must see them as the warriors that they are, we must help them with their armor, with their slings
and their 5 smooth stones of grace to slay the enemies, the Goliath's in this land.

The Deep Sea Canoe Vision

by Rev. Michael Maeliau
Early 1984, one evening, a group of Elders of a Congregatio
n were meeting to consider starting a new Congregation in one of the suburbs of Honiara, Solomon Islands. During the
time of prayer, one of the Elders began to be seeing something in his mind that later became known to be a vision from
the Lord.
The Elder called the attention of the group and asked them to listen as he narrated the vision aloud, describing scene
after scene as the vision unfolded. This lasted about half an hour or more as the group waited in silence listening to the
commentary. The Elder concerned did not go into a trance but rather was wide awake and quite alert as he was seeing
one scene after another displayed before the screen of his mind.
THE VISION
Scene 1-SOLOMON ISLANDS
I saw a valley before me. Very soon the valley began to be filled with flowing water. It developed into a Flood. The water
was crystal clear. There was no dirt or object in the water. The Flood came to a Dam and the valley began to be filled
with water until it became a beautiful lake with a bluish-green color.
Scene 2-SOUTH PACIFIC
As the Dam was completely filled with water it overflowed its brink. As the water overflowed its brink, it changed into a
mist floating away like a cloud. At that point of time a map of the whole world came into the scene. The cloud floated
from the Solomon Islands to Australia and back once. Then the cloud floated eastward to the nations in the South Pacific
region, then south to New Zealand, then west to Australia and then north to Papua New Guinea.
Scene 3-THE AMERICAS
As the cloud got to Papua New Guinea, it changed into a three pronged powerful current which seemed like that which
was caused by a high speed boat, but without the actual boat. This powerful current headed straight eastward toward the
west coast of the United States of America.
As it hit the USA, the center current continued on towards the east coast of the United States of America. The southern
current turned south and headed toward the South Pole. The northern current turned north and headed for the North Pole.
Scene 4-THE WORLD
As the center reached the east coast of America, it turned around 180% and developed into a great big mighty tidal wave
that stretched from the North Pole to the South Pole. The tidal wave then rolled back and traveled westward. It was so
great that it covered all the nations in its course and so high that it covered even the highest mountain of the earth, Mt.
Everest. It covered everything in its path as it moved over the Pacific and Asia. As the southern tip came into the Indian
Ocean, it curved around and headed up into the Arabian Gulf and then it stood still there.
The northern arm kept rolling over eastern Europe, then onto western Europe, and then around and over the whole
continent of Africa. What was the northern tip of the wave encircled the continent of Africa until it came to South Africa. It
went straight up to link up with the southern tip that had been waiting in the Arabian Gulf, forming a perfect circle with
Israel in the center.
Scene 5-ISRAEL
As the circle was now complete, the wave zoomed in on Jerusalem from all sides. As the wave met in Jerusalem, it shot
up into the Heavens like a great mighty pillar of water or cloud. As it reached deep in the sky, it opened up like a great
big mushroom that gradually spread until it enveloped the whole earth.
At this point, a voice came out from the cloud saying, "And the Glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover
the sea." With that the vision ended.
This vision from 1984 was shared a month ago at a prayer event in the Boston area, by a respected Christian leader from
the Solomon Islands. The man was participating in the prophetic- intercessory "World Worship Tour" that was organized
by the Jerusalem House of Prayer, and held April 10-May 1, 1998.
When the leader from the Solomon Islands read this vision to us, he explained that the Worship/Prayer Tour was
following the path of the vision... It is a powerful vision, and I have felt prompted to share it with all of you.
At the end of our meeting--which was on April 16, 1998--we all did some praying related to the vision. One of the things
was to pray in agreement about the releasing of the "tidal wave" as the "current" reaches the east coast...e.g., that we
would not seek to hoard the "current" when it hits the east coast, but to instead release it, with our blessings, for the
nations...
A side note: It was brought to our attention at this meeting that the Solomon Islands has been experiencing a powerful
move of God for many years, but most people don't know about it! When asked to describe their experiences, the man
kept saying--and I paraphrase--"Look at the book of Acts... We've been seeing it all."

Season of Change!
Ching Co
A while ago, I received these words. This is for a special group of "God's wonderful people" who have
lately been undergoing some difficult time, as if a "dark cloud" is hovering over you. (I am speaking to
myself as well )
Many of you have been faithful in the work of the kingdom. The Lord has been using you in many ways
to minister comfort and encouragement to His people. And He himself has given many of your
personal words and directions for your life and ministry. And you have been faithful to that leading, to
the point that there are some who have thrown in all that you have worked for all your life to follow this
leading from God.
Lately however, it looks like instead of seeing the fulfillment of these visions, the doors before us
seem to have been closed. And accompanied by the dark cloud hovering over us which includes
physical tiredness to some, We began to wonder if we ourselves may have missed God's way and we
began to wonder ourselves if all that we have heard before is really from Him.
Today, these are His words to us who are in this situation :
"Come to Me and I will show you something!" There is a season of change that is coming to you! A
change for the better, a change for good! " Do not be afraid of whatever change that will be coming
your way. To some, it may look like a closed door, but I will be opening another one for you. All that
you have offered to me out of sincere heart, I have been keeping in storage in my Kingdom. They have
been fully accounted for and have never been lost. Do not measure it by the standards of this world,
for I account for them differently. " But know that I've seen them all, understand that I've received them
with open arms. And believe that they are all in good hands. For I have asked it from you, and you
have given it willingly, some of you have given beyond what you have and have sacrifice a lot, there
are even a few of you that got into debt following that vision and those leading.. I know all about them
and I have taken account of them. Every detail of it is not hidden from me. Every penny and every cent,
every tear and every groan, every dream and every aspiration. They are all before me. "Even now, I
am looking at all that you have given to me. And I am pleased by your willingness to follow me no
matter the cost." I tell you this day...a season of change is coming! To some, in ways that you have not
expected. But know that I am the Father who loves to give good gifts to my children. And I will give
good gifts and blessings and rewards to you... it is coming...it is on it's way...it will not be delayed...it
will not fail.. " For I am a COVENANT GOD. And what I've promised , I will give to you. This is for my
pleasure. " I have been watching, I have been looking, I know your thoughts, I understand you
struggles, I see you coming in and your going out. Nothing is hidden from me. " Watch for the dawn of
day is breaking forth. The season for refreshing is nearer than you think. Continue to hold on to the
promises that I've given you for it will be greatly rewarded."
May the Lord richly bless all of you , most specially at this time! In His Service,
Sis. Ching Co

A Church of Servanthood and Love

by Ryan Binkley
This is a dream that I had in the summer of 1997:
I walked into a church from the back of a sanctuary while the congregation was praising and worshipping the Lord. I
stood at the back of the church for a moment and suddenly I felt the presence of the Lord come in. In a moment, I saw
five angels come in the church and ascend towards the top of the ceiling and form a semi-circle above the congregation.
They were wearing the most beautiful, long, flowing gowns I have ever seen. Each one was a little different in color and
the beauty of them stunned me. The colors were similar to a light blue, yellow, and magenta, but much prettier and
brilliant than colors that we usually see. I was standing in the middle of the back of the church and one of the angels was
directly above me. This angel was in the middle with two angels on both sides of him and he seemed to have a higher
rank than the other four. I looked up at him and as I did he looked down at me and stared. As I was looking at him, I said
"Glory to God", and he responded, "Glory to God in the Highest"! Immediately my body rose up off the ground to where I
was standing about 5 feet above the ground and just below the angel. I then began to look more intently at the people
worshipping the Lord.
Soon this angel descended to the floor with me while the other four angles stayed where they were. We walked over to a
section of the church and I immediately noticed that he was no longer in a beautiful robe, but was wearing "work" clothes
like that of a maintenance or construction worker. While the other angels and the people were worshipping God, he
began to work. He walked between the aisles of the church and pulled out of nowhere large trash bags of waste. He
dragged the first bag over to the side of the church and opened up a large furnace door that I had not noticed before.
When he opened the door, I saw flames coming from the furnace and heat coming out of it. He then threw the large trash
bag in the furnace and walked back toward the congregation to get another bag of trash. I knew that the large trash bags
represented sin in the church. He continued doing this until he was notably tired, sweaty, and very dirty. I asked if I could
help or get him some clean clothes and he responded "no" and just kept working while the other angels were praising the
Lord.
As I watched, the Lord showed me that while this angel was in a higher rank than the others he did not act like it, and he
did not expect the others to come down and help when there was work to be done. The angel continued working knowing
the true meaning of serving. The Lord told me that this is what the greatest in the kingdom of heaven do, they serve when
no one notices, they serve those under them without expecting anything in return, and they enjoy doing it with all their
heart.
This went on for a little while longer and when he was done there was a different atmosphere in the church. I walked back
towards the back of church and the people in the church were still standing and had just finished the praise and worship
part of the service. Suddenly out of every direction I saw dozens of more angels all over and around the people in the
church. These angels seemed to be a different type than the other five. They were going from person to person in the
congregation and sort of lovingly "latching on" to them. They were having the time of their lives and enjoying themselves
very much. One of them flew right in front of me and stopped. The face of this creature was incredible and indescribably
beautiful. I asked the angel if he had ever been here before. He responded "No, this is our first time". He left and "latched
on" to some one near me. The angel just ministered love to this person. As soon as he did, this person started loving on
this other person that was standing next to him. Before I knew it, everybody in the church was loving on each other. They
were talking, laughing, and hugging on anyone they could. It was incredible!
The atmosphere in this place was overwhelming. The Lord spoke to me when I woke up and said that He is going to visit
His church, revival is going to come, but the atmosphere created by truly serving and loving on others is what allows the
Lord to stay. I believe that this is similar to the atmosphere of heaven and the Glory of God will reside and stay in His
church with this atmosphere just because it feels so much like home!

To Those Who Have Been Set Aside

--- Be Filled To The Brim
Alison Papenfus
Wed, 8 Oct 1997
I had been in prayer over the situation of a number of long standing brothers and sisters who have
suddenly - and some not so suddenly - found themselves without a church to where they can really
relate. As I prayed the Lord began to open me the story of the Wedding Feast at Cana in a new way.
He showed me a group of stone water pots, set aside in a secluded room. Each pot contained some
water, and was wet to the touch on the outside where the water has seeped through the sandstone. I
understood that the water pots represented those the Lord has set aside. He has chosen them to be
vessels of His Spirit. Everyone who touches them will be wet with the Spirit which has seeped into
their very being. But few come to the room. Those who come are servants, seeking the water of the
Spirit to bring refreshing to themselves and to others from the water in the pots.
Then I went out - and found a Wedding Feast in progress. Those who were in charge of the feast had
provided the best of food and wine. There was singing, dancing and rejoicing in progress, and no
need of anything. To one side the Lord Jesus stood by, but He was a guest, His provision was not
needed.
Then the sound of singing and dancing died down. The wine ran out. The guests began to ask "Where
is the pure wine of the Spirit which we were promised? How is it that the wine has run out?"
Then the Lord spoke to me about those He has set aside. His word is, "Be filled to the brim. For every
drop of water you contain will be turned to wine. And you will no longer be merely those who refresh
the weary, but you will be those who contain the flow of the Spirit which causes my people to sing, and
praise and rejoice. Be filled to the brim - despise not the day of small things, despise not the secluded
place in which you find yourself. For the servants who have drawn upon you will return with great
excitement and you shall be vessels through which I pour My Spirit freely into My Church."
Then I saw the servants pointing those in charge of the feast - not to the water pots - but to Jesus. He
shall receive all the glory for what He has done in those He has set aside for His use.

SET FREE TO SERVE

BY A. Mathews
In March of 1948, from the deck of the U.S.S. Washington, I saw the Statue of Liberty in New York
Harbor. The long journey over rough seas between Great Britain and the United states had finally
become the reality of what my daddy had told me about. The past of the war torn years were behind
us and we would have a better life in America.
Little did I know as a small child that my liberty and freedom were not in the Lady of New York Harbor,
but in the Lord.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." (2 Cor. 3:17b). Exactly what is liberty for the
believer. In doing a cross search for other verses of this particular word I found that this word is used
to contrast between being free and being a slave. I believe that we can safely say that if the Spirit of
God is present, then no believer is to be held in captivity. Yet we so often find ourselves bound as if
we were indeed in chains. Most of what keeps us in bondage is our ignorance to the Truth. Let me
define ignorance. . . I certainly don’t mean stupidity. Ignorance simply means uninformed of facts
pertinent to the issue. Jesus said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." John 8:32.
Before you know the Truth, you are in ignorance. But once you know the Truth (being Jesus Christ
Himself), you are free.
"If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." (John 8:36)
It is when we begin to let the Person of Jesus into every area of our lives, we come to know Him more
and more for who is really is. He reveals to us those things in us that we need to let go of and be set
free from. We will find ourselves experiencing the liberty that was bought and paid for at Calvary in
ways that will release the power of the Holy Spirit in us for the sake of others. That is our calling. He
set us free from the bondage of sin and death, the curses of iniquity in our family lines, and every
religious tradition the enemy has created in the church to hold back the power of the Holy Spirit given
to the church. Beloved, are you ignorant of your inheritance today? Are you living in Spiritual poverty?
Is your testimony effective to the unsaved? Are you flowing freely in your giftings and callings of the
Most High God?
One of the most freeing, yet compelling truths I have come to know is found in 1 Peter 2:11-16
"Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the
soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as
evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.
Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as
supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for
the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to
silence the ignorance of foolish men–as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bond-
servants of God."
The only place of freedom is in complete submission to the Lord. God is looking for a people with
servant hearts. Those who know they are His, yet know that there are called to serve. Those who by
their very lives, reflect the character of Christ in all that they say and do to everyone they meet.
Resolve with me daily that you will not only live in the Spirit, but that you will walk in the Spirit and
experience the liberty of God to fulfill your calling

Shaking Down The Old Creation

Jeff Treder
If you have ever experienced a major earthquake, or even a medium one, you know how disorienting
and unnerving it is, along with plain scary. Once when I was a young man I was reading in our living
room when I heard a loud rumbling like a freight train bearing down on us, and then I felt the rumbling,
and everything was swaying and shaking. I grabbed the chair arms and looked out the window, where
the posts supporting the porch roof were waving like saplings in a whipping wind. It was all over in less
than a minute, but that was over forty years ago and I remember it vividly. It was not a major quake.
In Hebrews 12 the author, quoting Haggai 2:6, warns that God is once again going to shake the earth,
even as He did when He gave the law to His people at Mt. Sinai (see Ex.19:16-18, Judges 5:4-5).
This time, however, the shaking will be much greater: the heavens also will be shaken, and everything
in this creation that has not been redeemed into the kingdom of God will be destroyed. This teaching
is confirmed in 2Peter 3:10-13 and Rev.21:1. The shaking begins as a warning and continues on until
the old creation is totally destroyed.
Other Old Testament prophets besides Haggai voiced the same warning. Isaiah 2:6-22 graphically
describes the Day of the Lord, when all human pride and arrogance will be brought low, and
Men will flee to caves in the rocks

and to holes in the ground
from dread of the Lord
and the splendor of His majesty,
when He rises to shake the earth.
Joel gives a similar picture of the Day of the Lord (3:14-16), and the apostle John was shown the
same calamitous event:
"Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every
slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They
called to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who
sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has
come, and who can stand?'" (Rev.6:15-17)
What's so wrong with the creation as it exists today, that God should be moved to destroy it? As He
was creating it, He repeatedly pronounced it "very good" (Gen.1:4-31). The problem, of course, is us.
We fell into sin and began corrupting God's good creation, beginning with what was nearest to hand,
our own selves, body and soul. James describes this process by which our mind first dwells on evil
desires, then "after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives
birth to death." (1:13-15) We stake out some territory, beginning with our own self, and claim it for our
own; as a poet put it, "I am the captain of my soul." In doing so we leave God's covering and open our
soul to our soul's enemy, Satan, who laughs at our delusion as he fans our pride, greed, lust, anger,
and all the rest.
Having defiled ourselves, we proceed to defile everything we touch. Thus we have defiled God's good
institution of the family with adultery, divorce, child abuse, incest, homosexuality, and young girls
having babies with only a guess as to who the absent father is. We have defiled the relations between
people groups; tribes, nations, races; until the whole human society is torn by inter-tribal warfare (often
brutal and genocidal), the poison of racial bigotry, and international rivalry, hostility, and terrorism.
Having been given a divine mandate of stewardship over the earth (Gen.1:26-28), we have turned our
energies to exploiting, ravaging, and polluting it. Earth's rain forests are crucial to maintaining
climactic stability, but we are burning them at such a rate that we are already experiencing freakish
weather patterns; record floods, snowfalls, droughts, heat waves, tornadoes, and the like; and if we
keep it up, look for worse to come. The burning of forests and fossil fuels has released so much
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that global warming is now a measurable fact, with the twelve
warmest years in the twentieth century occurring since 1982. Many regions of the earth are severely
polluted by agricultural chemicals, industrial and other toxic wastes, and nuclear radiation; and there
are more Chernobyls out there waiting to happen. If, even in Paul's day, the whole creation was
groaning for release from its bondage to our corruption (Rom.8:18-23), what is it doing today?
(By the way, when non-Christians accuse us of extreme arrogance, or worse, for believing that the fate
of the whole universe depends on what we do on this one small planet, I think our best response is:
Sorry, but that's what the Bible teaches, and I believe the Bible is the true word of God. Besides, it
shows that He values creatures made in His image more highly than zillions of stars and galaxies.)
Whatever we touch and claim for our own, we defile. And God permits it. But not much longer.
Haggai prophesied all this very plainly. In chapter 2, God declares that He will shake the whole
creation and all the nations, and then "the desired of all nations will come," and the Lord will fill His
house with greater glory than ever before. He calls on His people to repent of defiling what is holy, and
in verse 18 He tells them to focus on the foundation of His temple, who (we now know) is Jesus Christ
(1Cor.3:11, Eph.2:20). Because this prophecy is quoted in Hebrews 12 in a passage about events
preceding the second coming of Christ, we can be sure that Haggai 2 also refers to the second
coming.
How can we recognize this divine shaking? The main thing to look for is when our self-generated
problems have grown beyond our ability to cope and they threaten to destroy us. We should keep an
eye on the ravages of drug abuse, AIDS and other virulent diseases, racial and ethnic hostilities,
global economic upheavals (as in the former Soviet Union and in East Asia, and probably going
global when the y2k bug bites), nuclear proliferation (especially with the Russian military in chaos and
resentful over its desperate poverty), increasingly violent terrorism (using chemical, biological, or
nuclear weapons), China throwing its weight around, increasing worldwide disparity between rich and
poor people (sparking a variety of dangerous consequences), and mounting damage from our
degradation of the natural environment. At this point, the Lord is simply shaking things, so that what is
overgrown begins to topple from its own weight, what is out of balance begins to fly out of control, and
what is rotten begins to fall apart.
Watch also for an increasing spirit of repentance among God's people; deep, anguished repentance,
with confession of sin and restitution. This too is a result of the divine shaking, as Joel 2 shows us,
where the shaking is due to the Lord's mighty army marching to bring judgment on Israel, and He calls
on His wayward people to repent before it is too late.
The shaking will intensify until everything we have built up in our pride and all our corruption of God's
creation is finally and utterly destroyed. Nothing that is not His can remain in His presence.
Scripture tells us that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Prov.9:10) Many Christians
have wondered, secretly or aloud, how that ancient teaching applies in this age of grace. If we haven't
found out yet, we will before long. The holy fear the Bible speaks of rises within us when we become
aware that God Himself, in His absolute holiness, is near to us and drawing nearer. This fear and the
deep repentance it produces are the first signs of true revival. It has always been this way. In Ezra's
day, the word of the Lord came to rebuke His people, and Ezra reports:
"When I heard this, I tore my tunic and cloak, pulled hair from my head and beard, and
sat down appalled. Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel
gathered around me because of this unfaithfulness of the exiles." (Ezra 9:3-4)
The Lord says:
"This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at My
word." (Isa.66:2)
Now more than ever, we who enjoy the indescribable blessing of knowing the God of Israel ought to
shake in our shoes and tremble at His word. He is calling us, in this "last of the last days," to
heartbroken repentance from all our pride and self-regard, all our meanness and divisiveness, all our
contribution to the prevailing corruption. Even beyond that, He is calling us to "identificational
repentance," a concept which John Dawson expounds in his powerful book, Healing America's
Wounds (Regal Books, 1994). Here is the idea: we look around in our society and see every variety of
flagrant evil; political corruption, economic injustice, racial bigotry, vile pornography, child abuse,
Satan worship, the abortion holocaust, and on and on. Strongly tempted though we are to judge and
condemn this evil like good righteous Pharisees, Dawson urges us to do virtually the opposite. We
must recognize that "there but for the grace of God go I"; and we must recognize that we ourselves
have harbored hatred, greed, lust, and bigotry in our own heart, and only God's unmerited grace has
kept us from falling into gross sin; or saved us out of it, depending. Recognizing this, we can sincerely
identify with the pornographer, the neo-Nazi bigot, the drug baron, the abortionist, or the child
molester. And having made the identification, what else can we do but cry out to God for mercy,
forgiveness, and healing. Such prayers, earnest and heartfelt, have heart-changing power, our own
heart first and then the hearts of those we are identifying with and interceding for.
Nothing else, not Supreme Court rulings or Congressional legislation or daytime talk shows, can heal
our feverish society. Only God can. Using us, His chosen instruments. Us, praying, fasting,
interceding. Asking forgiveness of anyone we have wronged. Bringing reconciliation. Coming
together to seek His face and worship Him. Spreading the good news: Jesus is coming, the earth
shakes at His approach, but it's not yet too late.

Shaking the Nations

A Word from Dennis Aldy
2/22/98
I believe the Lord has been speaking to many people about the coming shakings in the world. It is my personal belief
that we are in times of the beginnings of the shakings. We seem to be seeing this in weather patterns most, but I
believe it will affect all areas that can be shaken by Him. The Lord has been speaking to me of the severity of these
shakings. The Lord has spoken that this is a time to be praying for understanding. I believe we need this understanding,
so we can understand more of Him, His nature , and what He is doing ( through the shakings of God).
On February 21,1998 ( American Central Time Zone) which was 2/22/98 in Japan, I witnessed on TV what I believe was a
sign in the natural of what is to come in the future concerning the shakings of God in these last days. While watching
the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, during the men’s slalom ski race, a mild earthquake hit that was
unexpected. The announcers were all shouting, "I can’t believe it, our booth is shaking, the media people are all falling
down….". As I watched this I was amazed that during such a world event an earthquake took place. The skier taking
his run at the gold, was shaken and thrown on his course enough he just had to quit. The next guy in line came up to
the starting line and off he went. The announcers came back about 15 minutes later and declared that there had been a
confirmed earthquake that measure a 5.0 on the Richter’s scale.
I new this was a sign from the Lord, but was not sure of what at the moment. The next morning, during my prayer time, I
heard the Lord say, that the earthquake at such a national event was His sign stating that yes, He was about to shake
every nation. I realize all nations were not at the games, but all were invited. It will come at very inconvenient an
unexpected times, like during the middle of the Olympics. This shaking will rain on the just and the unjust, thus the guy
who lost everything he had trained for simply by being at the wrong place at the right time. I do not believe it was a
judgement on Him. I did not see where they gave the skier another try. He just lost out. The beauty of it all, was the
measurement on the Richter’s scale. It was a perfect 5.0. The Lord said it was out of His perfect grace, that He would
bring about such a shaking to all the nations. It is His grace and love that will cause Him to do such a fearful thing in the
natural. His desire is so for us to begin seeing in the eternal realm inside of by our physical sight, that He would do this
to help us to that level of sight. I also felt impressed that the dates of the earthquake there were significant and was
directed to Issaih 2:21 and 22:
"20 In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which
they made for themselves to worship,
21 In order to go into the caverns of the rocks and the clefts of the cliffs, Before the terror of the LORD and the
splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.
22 Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemed?"
This directly speaks of the grace of Him to awaken us to our true position in Him (helpless), and put our focus on His
Majesty and Beauty to be revealed through this all.

Shelter in the Storm

Steve Clarke
Your integrity is being tested in the fire of affliction because it is so valuable in My sight. Like gold, fine
gold are your words and actions when they line up with Me. Don't be weary in well doing; I repeat, do
not be weary, for my Son Jesus is known also by His integrity in that He does all things well. He heals
the sick . . . the deaf hear, the blind see, the oppressed go free. Yet, He too, many times labored
under the rule of conventional wisdom that would not allow Him to fully manifest the Glory of the Father
(He only healed a FEW sick)! However, the days are coming rapidly, and are even now at the door,
when I will burst forth to dazzle even the most radically entrenched skeptics.
For too long, My people have hidden behind masks of complacency, skepticism and conventional
thought within the ranks of My House; but I AM removing those barriers of fear in these days. My
people will no longer behold Me with veiled faces, looking through mirrors of legalism, for these are
the days of Face to face encounters. I AM moving them from seeing "in part" to fullness, from
obscurity to clarity, I will speak with great directness to those who are within My will and purposes, but
those who are outside, setting and doing their own agendas, I will continue to speak in darkened
sayings, yes parables, so that they may hear yet not understand and remain comfortable in their
unbelief.
But I AM awakening the slumbering spirit of My Virgin Bride with My kiss of love and she will rise to
My call. She has kept herself pure from fornication with the kings of the earth and saved herself for Me;
therefore, I will keep her from the time of testing that is coming upon the earth to expose ALL flesh.
Seek Me while I AM near, call upon Me when I may be found. See that your lamps are filled with oil
and burning brightly. Grace, great grace be upon all who hear and obey the Spirit of God.

Shepherd
Lori Reynolds
My sheep were not intended for pens. Now they eat what the shepherds gather, and not of the
abundance of My Pasture.
Pens are for pigs, not My sheep. The implements of the shepherd are the rod and staff, intended to
throw at the enemy, or to guide & tend the sheep-
But the foolish shepherd has taken the rod and planted it and made a pen to make his life easier. The
barbed wire of man's doctrines taught as commandments of the Lord, has killed my sheep as they
have tried to eat of the pasture just beyond the pen. Many are hung on the fence of doctrines. Do you
not know that I see you? I see your motive, you can watch the sheep from your easy chair, and even go
into your bed at night because your barbed wire is your security from the enemy.
Also, My sheep are walking in their own droppings while you hold shears in your hand continuously for
the new growth that comes, you immediately shear it off and sell it at the market; or worse; you wrap
yourself in it as if it were your own growth. And My sheep are naked and scabbed from the shearing.
Oh, foolish shepherd, repent and cut down the barbed wire, leave the rod planted by the water and I
will increase My flock. Wail, for your lethargy, your man-made ideas, that have wounded My little ones.
You see, I AM the rod. I AM the water. I AM the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will
go in and out and find pasture. I AM the Good Shepherd, I have given My life for My sheep. Even now,
My sheep hear My voice and you see them leap with joy. Be careful, rejoice that they hear My voice,
not yours.
Repent and be restored, your reward will be great! Lead My flock, let Me show you where. Tear down
the pen which is your fear. You have tried to cope with your fear- please, only cry out to Me and I will
deliver you completely; fear will not be your boundary any longer!
The wolf has lied to you, but if you are willing, I will uncover your eyes that you may see him, though he
thinks he moves in stealth. He has indeed given goats into your pen, unnoticed. Oh My heart cries out
to make you wise, that you would discern the goats from the My sheep and not be reduced to counting
heads. ( Have you put yourself to sleep by counting sheep? AWAKE!)
For this is My desire, to do this through you, only when you are willing. Through you "I will stand and
feed My flock In the strength of the Lord. And I will show you what is good and what I require of you; To
do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Me."
Love,
Your Shepherd

She Will Operate In Power

Ada R. Arnold
I did not bring My church into existence through weakness to continue in weakness. But My church
was birthed in power and in demonstration and in power and manifestation of My praise, My glory and
My anointing. If the church continues to be the church she will operate in power. She can not be weak
and anemic, preaching a gospel but not living the gospel she preaches. But the church must rise up
and she must fall down. She must rise up and take what is hers from the enemy, and fall down on her
face and give praise to me. The church, My church is a powerful, powerful organism on planet earth.
She has a mission and a commission, and when she recognizes and realizes her mission and fails to
do anything to carry it out, she no longer remains the church!! She can only be the church when she
allows me to flow through her in demonstration and manifestation of my gifts.
For a moment I want you to see through my eyes and see what I see when I see the church. When I
see the church in her contemporary state I see the withered hand that My son stretched forth, and yet
the hand is weak, anemic. When I see the church, I see the man at the pool waiting to stir up the
waters so that he can get in. Why wait you any longer, now is the day of power, salvation, and
redemption and glory come to this house. I've given you opportunity after opportunity and I say to you
this day, stretch forth your hand and do exploits in my name saith the Lord of Hosts. Be not weary in
well doing for you will reap in due season if you faint not.
Trust in me with all your heart, cease to lean on your own understanding, acknowledge me and I will
show you the path to take. You'll not have to guess about it, you'll not even have to contemplate it, you'll
know your steps are ordered of the Lord, for I order the steps of the righteous. I Am God and My hand
is upon the church, Be the Church!! The time is right, the fields are ripe for harvest all around the
church. For miles around you, I have put them here to see them saved!! For I say to you they are just
as precious in My sight as they are in yours. I say go ye and reap the harvest!
May this be received with an open heart, to all who have ears to hear!

Showers Coming
William Hawkins
Tuesday 13th,Oct., 1998 8:10 PM
The showers I am about to bring are not showers of Blessings, But , are GOLDEN in nature and color.
These showers will cause men to SEE for the First time since birth , they will cause some to grow and
to learn.
The growth rate shall be an hundredfold , as what it took years to learn before , will be accomplished
in days, lifetimes of learning shall come in Months..
In a sense these are Blessings, but, with them comes much greater responsibility.
I caution you now and to ALL who will hear my words; do not put up your spiritual umbrella when it
begins to rain, no do not even seek shelter when it begins to pour, do not even seek higher ground
when it looks like a flood.. NO! Stand firm upon the Rock, soak up the rain and let it wash you clean.,
refresh you, revitalize you and prepare you for the Fresh Coal from Off the Altar that shall be placed
within you. Only a closeness to Me will see you through the times that are coming, just before I come
for My Bride.
Rejoice my son for even now I can hear the cry’s of the wedding party—Rejoice for it is almost
midnight and the cry is "The Bridegroom Cometh" prepare yourselves, do not sleep nor slumber for
the time is at hand..
Now you shall see the young Lions arise from the fields as I have shown you before, but, now it is not a
vision, it is real people who will arise...Yes they look just like me, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
Rejoice my son for the greatest hour of the church, my body is upon you...Rejoice for you are part of it..
Rejoice for I have known you since before the foundations of this world were laid.
Now Go Forth and Tell them what you have seen and heard.
Rejoice I say for the rain is at hand---Says the Lord---Rejoice..

Sacramento Move of God

Rick Stivers
Today will go down as "Sovereign Saturday" in Sacramento, at least for the 200 people, from several different fellowships,
who gathered for a would-be prayer breakfast at Family Christian Center this morning. The speaker was Lou Engle from
Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena. None of us knew what to expect, really. Not pastor Rich Oliver, not Tim Dickerson
who was to give oversight to the meeting, not even Lou really knew what to expect. One mis-focused potential attendee
called the church office last week to see what he was going to get for his $6 ticket.
"So who is this Lou Engle guy anyway?" he asked.
"Nobody special." came the reply. "Just a guy who loves the Lord."
"Well what's he gonna be talkin' about?" the man on the phone persisted.
"Look, for all I know he'll be laid out on the floor and not be able to talk about anything."
"Well I'm sure not gonna shell out six bucks to watch somebody layin' on the floor." the man responded as he hung up
the phone.
This day, however, would be a day, not for observers, but for participants. I could almost feel the anticipation in the room
from the moment I walked in. The up-tempo Morningstar worship music was flooding the air. A few people were beginning
to mingle around the room, which was set up with about 20 large round tables, already set for breakfast. Immediately
some lady began dancing around the room, twirling and waving her prayer shawl, releasing the blessing of the Lord in her
wake. (I probably wouldn't have taken much notice if she hadn't have been my own wife.)
Tim Dickerson walked to the mic to greet the people. "We're just gonna have Kevin lead us in one quick song, then we'll
be served our breakfast one table at a time." he said.
But from the first chord on the little keyboard, the group erupted in praise. The presence of God was heavy in the room.
Kevin played through the song a couple extra times, expecting the excitement to wane. But the people wouldn't let him
stop. They all just kept singing and clapping, "More! More, Lord!" they shouted. Kevin was hesitant to play another song,
knowing the faithful servers had been working all morning to provide this beautiful breakfast, and the food would surely get
cold. But he could do nothing else. "We have food that you know not of!" came a cry from the back.
Feed us Lord! Feed us Lord!" another yelled.
The gathering erupted once again in spontaneous worship for another several minutes of song. Tim, our meeting
coordinator wasn't much help, laying flat on his face. Lou finally stepped up, "What the heck....Who needs food when
God is our sustenance." he said, "Let's just worship the Lord!"
After 45 minutes or so of exuberant praise, prophetic words began to come forth. One man came to the mic. "The Lord
allowed me to see four angels, one in each corner of the room." he said. He described each one as having gifts from God
for His people. One with a bow and arrows for warfare, one with a censor of incense for intercession, another with oil for
healing, and the fourth with the harp for worship. "I don't know what we're supposed to do with this," he said, "I suppose
some of you may want to move to a particular corner if God is so leading you."
Before I had a chance to think, I was heading for the corner with the angel of intercession. I didn't see any angels, and if I
had time to think I surely wouldn't have done something as "foolish" as this. When I got to the back corner, I leaned over
a table and prayed, "Lord, you know I've been wanting to feel more of your heart for people. Please give me a burden for
intercession." With that, I was suddenly pushed flat on the table as though a lead blanket had been laid on my back, and
I began to weep and wail with the compassion of the Lord for everyone who passed by the window of my mind; my kids,
my friends, the church. I lay there for several minutes as God poured over me with successive waves of his presence.
All over the room similar manifestations were being experienced by many. At one point Lindy Oliver, the wife of the senior
pastor, got up to share a vision she had seen of Jesus coming with a shepherd's staff to shepherd His church. The Good
Shepherd was definitely in our midst, distributing gifts, anointing His people. Suddenly it occurred to me that Lindy's
husband Rich, the usual shepherd, was nowhere to be found. He hadn't been seen all morning. He had discovered a little
spot between the wall and a trash can in the back of the room, and was slumped down between them. When I found him
I told him that the reason we don't we don't usually see Jesus coming as the shepherd, is that we already have one in the
local pastor. Recently this pastor has taken to calling himself a sheepdog, as the Lord as literally removed him from
service after service. (It's amazing how the body begins to function in a service when the leader lays down his personal
anointing in exchange for the corporate one.)
There were words and prayers from several people about the Lord reclaiming Sacramento and California. There was an
overall cry for mercy for the State which is more deserving of judgment. Lou finally did get up to speak. He taught us on
the "keys of David." He said David was, first, a covenant person with God. God could ask of him anything and David
would do it. At the same time, David could ask anything of the Lord, and He would do it.
Second, David was a covenant man with others. And third, he valued what is valued in heaven, namely, incessant
worship.
During the message, the presence of God remained so intense that frequently people could be seen breaking down in
tears for no apparent reason, the author included. After almost three hours of praise, worship and the word we did the
only thing left to do..... We ate. Sure, the bottom of the quiche was a little toasted after warming an extra couple hours,
but nobody was complaining. It was, by far, the best meal we had ever been served.
Thank you Daddy.

Snow Dream
Sandy Van Eysinga
Dear Lara, Hello from a fellow dreamer! I was just amazed and blessed by the contents of your recent prophetic dream
posted on D & V List 38 . It had several things in common with a dream I had last week. This is the dream and
interpretation:
I was in our old house on the hill, a teenager, and content--sisters were agitated about going somewhere (tacotime, I
think) to eat with the youth group, and I was going along with them, but said maybe we should eat first, since it would be
a while before we'd be fed and I was hungry. Then the scene changed.
I went outside, and it was a different place--a dry, piney forest in the fall. There were pine needles on the ground, and I
was looking for mushrooms like I would do given such a situation. I was having a good time, dawdling a bit. My sister
was beside me, and was trying to hurry me because she wanted to go back home. I wasn't listening to her--it was so
beautiful out there, and I was enjoying myself. I started to see some small mushrooms, and was getting excited.
Then it became winter. Snow was on the ground, and I was really having a great time now, because I was finding loads
and loads of really huge, wonderful, rare edible mushrooms poking up out of the snow. I had a towel with me and was
picking these great mushrooms, using my towel to carry them (they were really big). There were many growing beside
the shore, in huge bunches, more than I could pick. I didn't even know if there might be some bad ones in the bunches,
but thought I'd sort them out later, when I was home.
I was so happy and excited about these mushrooms, that I didn't even notice how agitated my sister was getting beside
me. I was in a playful mood, and pushed her into a snowbank, then pulled her out because she was being overwhelmed
by the snow.
Finally I decided to follow her home, because she just got fed up with me and left. As I followed her, I started feeling
guilty because I could now see how cold she was getting. I started to get really concerned for her, because she was
turning blue. I began to see how ill-prepared she was for the wintry weather, wearing flimsy Sunday shoes, stockings, a
shortish skirt, and a fairly useless, fancy crocheted sweater which was not keeping her very warm. She also didn't have a
coat on, while I had a warm winter jacket, warm sweater and pants, socks, and really warm, lined winter boots which
were waterproof. I wasn't feeling the snow or cold at all, but she was dying of it.
She was walking very fast ahead of me, walking through a giant puddle of icy snow-melted water which came well above
her ankles and totally filled her flimsy shoes. I called to her to avoid the puddle, to come walk around it where I was--the
snow was firm, the water hadn't melted so far here. But she didn't listen, because she was really cold and only wanted to
get home as soon as possible. I finally caught up to her, and was trying to get her to stop so that I could put my warm
jacket on her--I was so warmly dressed that I didn't really need it now anyway, and it would save her. But she wouldn't
stop, and all I could do was drape it over her shoulders as best as I could. And there the dream ended.
This dream really disturbed me, because it is prophetic and speaks of the equipping which we as various churches have
for the cold, bleak times coming ahead. Paradoxically, the times ahead will be times also of great harvest; and those of
us who are well equipped will be having a wonderful time harvesting, not minding the exterior conditions, which God has
equipped us for. Other Christians, and this dream makes me think that my sister's denominational affiliation is included
here, will be ill-equipped for the times ahead. These Christians will be stressed greatly, even as if their lives are being
endangered. They will certainly not be having a good time, ignoring the harvest, intent only on going home to be with
Jesus! What a shame!
At the last minute, there will be an awareness and an attempt to help these cold, ill-equipped Christians by the well-
equipped ones, but it will be too little, to late. In this I'm reminded of the parable of the ten virgins.
I am glad of Paula Cavu's interpretation of the snow of your dream as the Latter day Word of God, according to Isaiah 55.
This is much more positive than my interpretation, for truly the snow and the cold winter of my dream did not have to be
joined together. The snow indeed was positive, something in which to play. In the dream, though, my sister ignored it.
This is indeed significant, for it is true that many Christians are ignoring the prophetic word of God coming now, falling as
fast and thick as snow, for the watering of dry spiritual ground and in which the prepared ones delight.
So there is joy (for the great harvest coming) and grief (for the unprepared brothers and sisters in the Lord) mingled
together here. But the greatest feeling is of Joy and anticipation for the wonderful harvest which we all eagerly desire and
search for.
Of particular joy to me was the connection to the evangelization to the Jews which your dream provided, for I have a heart
and calling for the Jews and know prophetically that I will be working among them in the future, harvesting!
Thanks for your obedience.
Love in Christ,
Sandy Van Eysinga (wife of Roger Van Eysinga) <chrisandra@geocities.com>

Soaring In The Midst Of Violent Winds

Sherry Mackey
September 21, 1998:
This is the hour that the prophets of Baal shall be confronted head on. (Baal worship: plurality of gods; god of mammon,
god of the sun, moon, stars etc.) The idols of the land have reigned uncontested, as man has empowered them by their
apathy & worship. Many prophets in hidden locations are being set up for direct confrontations with these powers. A
show down between right & wrong. The light of My glorious gospel shall rise & shine, for the Spirit of Elijah shall confront
the Babylon system, & a shaking & breaking of the altars & a removing of the high places, to reestablish the boundaries
of My kingdom. There shall be no false fire, for My fire shall consume all the sacrifices. My ministers shall be flames of
fire, & My angels winds that shall fan the flames of revival. At the planning table of the enemy, his first priority is to put
out the eyes of the watchmen. Watchmen, watchmen what of the night? Decoys of enticements, seductions of shame &
guilt with relentless fury, cling to the rock, hide in the clefts of the rock. Enticements of demonic signs, earthquakes,
fires & winds to divert your attention from the still small voice. Escape to Zion! You who dwell with the daughter of
Babylon, come up to the rock of safety!
As I drove home from town, my daughter & I witnessed two eagles soaring in the midst of violent winds. The winds were
so strong they pushed my truck over into the other lane a bit. What was amazing was the eagles soared with no blowing
effect. They seemed to flow with the winds. The winds did not conquer them, they conquered the winds. Hear what the
Lord says, though the winds were strong against them, they mastered the flight by My design. As an eagle is designed
to soar, & a soldier designed for war, so I have designed you to flow in your element. A fish cannot swim without water, &
neither can you learn to soar without the element of troubles. For on the winds of adversity you shall learn to ride &
abide. The waters shall rise to try to undermine the foundations. The storms of winds in fury shall blow. Toss the excess
overboard, lighten the load, cast your cares on Me, release the burden to Me & trust Me with all your heart. I have
created you for such adversity. You have been made to thrive in the midst of storms & troubles. Thrive My beloved!
Rebuke the demonic winds & storms! You shall rise!
At service last night during worship I saw a sickle and nine sheaves. It's harvest time. For the former rain was moderate,
but the later rain shall fall & shall soak the barren lands & the dead land shall produce fruit. The release of the fullness of
Apostolic authority with the nine gifts of My Spirit, to prepare My people for My service & then shall they reap My
harvest, then the end shall come, says the Lord.

The Soaring Eagle

by Glynn Behrend
As an eagle flies high into the morning sun, I am calling you to higher places.
You will soar above the pollution of this present world.
I have called you to soar above, gossip, slander, backbiting, to a new level of holiness to a new level of power and
authority in me.
I am calling you even into the third heaven, above warfare, into the throne room of God. This is behind the veil even into
the throne room of God.
It is a secret place where you are hid under the shadow of the almighty. You are hid from the arrows of the accuser. The
more you surrender the areas of your life that Satan has access, the more that Christ will stand in that area. The lighter
you will become and the higher you will soar.
The higher you soar the more you will be hid under the shadow of his wings.
God will allow, as you are carried higher to venture to the edge of His wings and look out through the edge of the
feathers. It will be more comfortable for you in the secret place and you will gladly run back into the cover of His wings. It
is very warm and comfortable there. God is not calling His prophetic people to a place of comfort and security.
This is a gradual unveiling for you. As the Spirit of the prophet is released in a greater way upon the earth, more and
more men and women will be unveiled. Gradually as a mother eagle trains her young by revealing the thorns in the nest
(Pulling away the safe warm down and exposing the sharp thorns underneath) so shall I gradually unveil my prophetic
people. I am doing this to protect and to cover them. I am now disturbing the Nest, preparing the church to receive the
voice of the prophet.
The next level I am bringing my Bride is the Natural, Supernatural. This is learning to walk in the supernatural as a natural
way of life. Here is a word of warning. You must not allow the supernatural to become common. Always remember where
I have brought you from.
No longer will there be isolated pockets of the supernatural. It will not be dispersed upon a select few but upon my entire
bride. The last day prophetic voice will be a corporate anointing. No more will it be one man or one woman. I am exalting
the humble and bring low the proud. This voice will be so strong and powerful because it will come form many places and
many nations. The one singular voice will blend into many voices to sing the same words. The words will be like a huge
orchestra with many instruments blending into a beautiful sound. I am the conductor and each member will give up his
desires for me. When one member rests another will play. Some will play in the first chair position and some will play in
the second chair position. Some will play large instrument and some will play small instruments. Each will be important
to the harmony and melody of the song. When there is this much unity in my Bride, and only then, the natural will be the
supernatural and the supernatural will be the natural. This is part of my plan and the longing of my heart.
In these last days I am preparing my Bride and getting her ready. The wedding garments are being made. I am also
preparing the feast. I will use the sound of the trumpet, a sure sound, to call my bride to attention. This sound will not be
misunderstood. It is the cry of the prophet as he hears the very heart of God and speaks to the very heart of the Bride.
This call is a Call to War and a Call to Purity. This is the full purpose of the prophetic. Do not pull back or allow your
voice to be silent. No one is fit for the Kingdom if me draws back. I am saying to my prophetic people "Go Forward". The
time of your unveiling is near. I will take you out of your comfort zones and into the conflict. "Do not Despair", many
arrows will be shot at you from the enemy but I will have prepared you for the battle. I will have given you the garment of
humility that will cover your backside and will stop the arrows of the enemy.
My last word is "Stand", many spirits have been aligned against you to kill the voice of the prophetic. Much opposition
will come, but know this my child, "Greater is he who is in you than he that is in the world."
by Glynn Behrend

Soften Your Hearts

Katie Jordan
Beloved, come to Me for I am gathering My own. Let them all hear My call for time grows short. Separate yourselves as I
have so often told you was necessary.
I beseech you to pledge to Me this day tht you will no longer walk as those in the world walk. DO NOT HIDE YOUR
LOVE FOR ME, NEVER BE ASHAMED OF IT!
It is true that I am a patient God, but there is a limit to even My patience. The world grows darker and evil is rampant.
This no longer surprises you for you have seen so much evil that you have become hardened to it. SOFTEN YOUR
HEARTS. I am searching for a people who weep with Me as they look upon atrocities that man heaps upon man.
Nothing of the world will be of help to you in these last days. Your gold and your silver cannot save you nor feed you.
How sad it makes Me when even My own people look to the world for help. It will not be long now until the world will show
you all too clearly just how they feel about My people.
Again I would remind you that I AM YOUR ALL AND ALL. I AM YOUR SUSTENANCE. ALL YOU NEED I CAN AND
WILL SUPPLY. TRUST ME AND ONLY ME. If you have learned to always put Me first in your life then dependence upon
Me will come much easier.
Oh My beloved, how I yearn for the kind of relationship for which you were created! When we truly walk hand in hand your
joy will know no bounds. You will then see Me clearly and know Me reverentially, and it will be no more "through a glass
darkly" but face to face.

Song for the Bride

by Kelly Weiler
When I met my wife, 23 years ago, I instantly fell head over heels for her. From that moment on it was a constant
passionate pursuit. She has told me several times that it was my incredible, passionate love for her that totally
convinced, overwhelmed, and won her over. Though it took almost a year for her to become as thoroughly infatuated with
me, my constant poems and radical desire for her took her feet quite out from under her. The only thing slowing her down
(if you can call slow being together about five out of every seven days, though I would have liked seven), was that she had
not planned on getting committed and then married at so young an age. (She was only in her last year of high school!)
Well, she graduated in June, and in the following January we were married. Hallelujah! She said to me just a few years
ago, that though it wasn't her plan to marry at so young an age, but to go on with a career, she thought, 'how can I resist
him? If I let him slip by where could I ever find someone else who would love me like that?'
Peter the apostle once said "Master, to whom shall we go? You alone have the words that give eternal life," (TLB) Peter
would later discover even more than that! Who else would ever love him like Jesus?!
The song of the bride - Extravagant Love

Jesus does not call us to come to Him by the law. Can you imagine what it would be like to have to tell your wife exactly
how to love you? How would you like it if you had to tell her "this is how you kiss me, and this is the look in your eye that
I want you to have when I come home at night. I want ten kisses a day, and on the sixth day I want you to kiss me
twenty times, and on the seventh day you shall rest from all your efforts to kiss me. The twinkle that women have in their
eye for the man they love you are to wrinkle your eye muscles so and so as to give that appearance. When I come into
the room, you are to stir up a pounding in your heart, and make your arms ache to hold me, running to my embrace."
This in essence was the approach of the old covenant. They had no spiritual heart, so they had to substitute. God wasn't
looking for superficial relationship, He sought as much sincerity as they could give in that, but a new covenant was what
He longed and waited for and planned all along! So until then, the Lord gave His bride myriads of laws to show them what
the behavior of love should appear like, or at the lowest denominator at least be symbolized in. But alas, the new has
come. Finally, by the new birth, He gave every believer the ability to have such a genuine love! And He has sent
messengers of love, His holy apostles and His shepherds and prophets to show and tell of His love, and His evangelists
to proclaim the call of that love, to woo to Him a bride. And most of all He showed her that there would never be anyone
who could love her like He did, by coming and giving His own life exclusively for her. He laid it down, that she might live,
and come on the highway of that love to Him.
Every birthday and valentines I write my wife a poem, reminding her of my love. I draw her a card with pictures and
flowers, and whatever I can imaginatively create to show her my love. God never ceases to remind us of His extravagant
love by all that He has done, doing, and will yet shower on His glorious bride! In the new covenant the Groom has died,
as it says in Romans chapter 7, to the old inadequate conditions of the marriage with his bride, which He called "THE
OLD COVENANT. And He has written A NEW COVENANT by which we come close to Him. He woos us with the
extravagance of His lavish love revealed therein, and says "THIS IS THE COVENANT OF LOVE, THESE ARE THE
CONDITIONS I HAVE MADE FOR YOU TO COME TO ME NOW - EXTRAVAGANT UNRESTRAINED, ALL OUT
LOVE!"
Never again will He resort to calling her to himself by demands and detailed dictates. What He has longed for since the
beginning of time He now has. A bride who will love Him by a natural love response to His love. Thus she responds with
an extravagant love. The law could never bring extravagance, but is only an imprint resembling vaguely what that
dedicated and faithful, even passionate love would one day look like. This NEW WAY that He longs for, and has sown for
in her, is the same identical love with which He loves her, shown by His extravagant sacrifice, His desperate pursuit, His
dedication to her unto His own death even - and it has elicited in her a response the law could never get. A passionate
love, and a faithful dedicated love that will never die, never depart, even unto death! In this new covenant, the bride cries
out "Here my love, I am coming to you." "Oh why I are you all out of breath my darling?" And she replies "I have lost all
my own breath in pursuit of you, but in my breathlessness I have gained something even more, you yourself have
become the very air I breathe. From heretofore all my springs are in you."
The Groom says to His brilliant bride, who looks so longingly and expectantly at Him "what is that twinkle in your eye,
and that pool of desire, one that a man could swim in?" And she says "it is my desire for you my Lord."
He says to her "Why do you never cease covering Me with your kisses?" And she replies "I don't know, I think it is
because I can never get enough of you, the more I taste the more I want!" Then the Groom, our beloved responds "Then
that is also why you never stop pursuing me, my love?" And she says "I will pursue you forever my love, my beloved, until
I capture the whole of you, and never know anything but you."
This is her virtue towards Him, for her there is no other. Every man who has ever lived wants such a woman, who has
kept all for Him, reserving every part, and to Him freely and extravagantly, and alone giving! "A garden enclosed is my
sister, my spouse, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed." Song 4:12
At first her attention is captured by His attentiveness and wonderful interest in her - but then with but the touch of Him,
with just the littlest knowing of Him, all her heart and soul can never live apart from Him, but must go on, pursuing at all
costs, forsaking all others, considering nothing worthy to stand in the way of the consummation of that love. With just
one touch on the lock of the door, her hands drip with liquid myrrh. She ran to the door to open for Him, but He pulled
away, teasing, it was not yet time for the full consummation. She said in agony -
"My heart leaped up when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no
answer. The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; the keepers of
the walls took my veil away from me." Song 5:6-7
This is the callousness of those who have not known that fidelity towards the Groom.
"What is your beloved more than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved more than
another beloved, that you so charge us?" Song 5:9
And this is her heart forever
"I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." Song 6:3
When the groom comes for this bride He has drawn by His love, He sees in her the extravagant response of her total love
for Him, a love as total as His love has been for her. Now what He has always longed for, what He has put in the heart of
every man to long for in his wife, is ripened in full response to Him.
"O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as an army with banners!" JESUS THEN
WILL SAY, UTTERLY OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTION -
"TURN YOUR EYES AWAY FROM ME, FOR THEY HAVE OVERCOME ME." Song 6:4-5
She tells Him how the fruit of her love has ripened, all of it cultivated, and harvested for Him.
"Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded, whether the grape blossoms are
open, and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. The mandrakes give off a fragrance,
and at our gates are pleasant fruits, all manner, new and old, which I have laid up for you, my beloved." Song
7:12-13
"Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has
made herself ready. Rev 19:7"
The next time someone tells you to come under the letter of the law, tell them your love has become too extravagant for
that! What little holiness the law shows, is a poor comparison to the love, both faithful and passionate, you have for Him -
your whole heart and soul and mind and strength are His!
What giving the law demands - you know only the freedom of the response of faithful and compassionate love, passion for
His passions, caring for those He has put in your care, caring for those He loves. When the legalists demand an account
of your time, and ask for a tenth, or a day merely in a week - tell them your life is the Lord's, and He fills every moment.
This is real in you, not a cover up or a ploy to elude their searching gaze for evidence of you proclaimed love for Him, not
philosophy to be explored one day, but a living experience of a life that lives and moves, and experiences every moment
in and for Him.
I want to see the wrinkles on His face, how they frame and betray all His emotions. I want to see the color, and the look,
the love in His eyes for me. The compassion and depth of love. I want to see through those eyes into His very soul, and
be lost in there, in that love, in that character, in Him. And He has been preparing the same in His bride, that their love
may be equal. What glory of Himself He has but teased us with in this lifetime, no matter how great a depth there is for
us yet here in Him, is like comparing a teaspoon to standing under the waterfall of a dam burst loose, and pouring down
all over you.
This is my hunger for Him, and only this much of Him will satisfy! For this the bride will pay any price, forsake all
distractions, her heart is being enlarged by the hunger of now, to be able in that day of the marriage to encompass the
vastness of what He will give the bride. And from that time onward forever, never will we know the gnawing wanting of
more. We have tasted but a taste, and that taste has ruined us completely. From now on, nothing will satisfy except the
unveiled fullness of Him. Blessed are those who so hunger and thirst, for she shall be FULL.
This is the love of those who have so let open their hearts that for them there is nothing in heaven or earth to take His
place. They live this way with each breath in expectation and desire for Him. This is the measure of who is the bride! The
measure of desire, and extravagant love! This is the very substance that becomes the life of all those who live for the
consummation of that day.
EXTRAVAGANT LOVE !

The Sons of His Glory

Bill Burns
November 13, 1998 A continued theme of the Holy Spirit (as He has spoken to the Church) in 1998
has been the manifestation of the Sons of Glory, also referred to as the Sons of Thunder. We began to
receive prophetic words (last March) that the Sons of Glory (also includes women) would manifest
(become visible) in 1998. Then this prophetic word came on October 4, 1998:
"Listen, My people, says the Spirit of the Lord. I shall tell you; I will speak to you about the times and
the seasons in which you live. Did I not come on the Feast of Trumpets and proclaim to you that I was
bringing forth a victory in the earth? Did I not speak to you and say I was taking back title deed to the
earth? Haven't I told you that even in that season I came to celebrate the victory that I was bringing
forth in the earth? The beginning (I speak to you today), the beginning of the manifestations of the
sons of God, which I have already prophesied and spoken through the mouths of My servants, that
would come forth in this the year, 1998, will manifest in this month on the day of victory. You say, what
is the day of victory? I say that Satan has seduced you and taken your mind away from the thoughts
that I am trying to give you. The celebrations are not over. Is there not another feast before you? Have
you forgotten that upon the morrow, I say upon the morrow begins the Feast of Tabernacles, and it
was on the eighth day of that feast that I stood up in the assembly of the first born and said, if any man
thirst, come unto Me and I will give you the rivers of life. Come unto Me, and I will give you the Spirit of
God, and victory shall spring forth as that river flows out of your innermost being. I have come, I say, to
bring a people forth. I am not speaking about a weak people. I am speaking about a people who will
live in power, a people who will live in strength, a people who have discerned the times and the
seasons--the seasons that are upon them, the appointed seasons, the time of God meeting with man.
Now, from your mind, because of the circumstances that you are living in, Satan has washed out from
you the remembrance of the glorious appointed times of the seven-day celebration where you are to
tabernacle with Me. If you will enter this time of feasting, of tabernacling with Me, the manifest
presence of the sons of God shall come forth, I say, upon the eighth day of that feast. For it is written
within My heart --the seasons and the times are written. This is a time that I have looked forward to
from the foundations of this earth when I, Myself, would pour out the living water in a greater
dimension, in a new dimension of power, and the living sons of God would manifest themselves in this
the season of victory. It must be so because I have prophesied it, and I bring it forth by My strength in
this the season of the restoration of all things."
The question then must surely be, "What meaneth this?" Who are these sons and daughters of His
glory, and what is it that will be manifest through them?
The prophetic word said that the beginning of the manifestation of the Sons of God would take place
on the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Prophetically, the eighth day is symbolic of a new day
(new beginning), and the Feast of Tabernacles is symbolic of those who have been dwelling in booths
with God--those shut in with Him in fellowship.
This event is most exciting, and all of creation has waited for this time in which the righteous will shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Romans 8:19 "For the earnest expectation of the
creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God."
I do not believe that most of the church understands that at the end of the church age, just before
Christ returns for a bride without spot or wrinkle, a glorious church will manifest in the earth. These
sons and daughters of His glory will demonstrate the fullness of His expressed desire as revealed in
John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also;
and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."
This means that apostolic authority which produces power will be restored to those who have been
tabernacling with God. Moses was in the presence of God for 40 days, and when he came down from
the mountain, his countenance shone like the sun.
The term "sons of glory" then describes those who have been abiding in His presence and have been
infused with His glory. Haggai 2:9 tells us, "The glory of the latter temple (whose temple we are) will be
greater than the former." The former meaning the glory poured out on the beginning of the church age.
The meaning of the word "glory" means to be weighty (heavy), honored, to beautify self by the
adornment of His light. This is my description of the Sons of Glory: Those who have become honored
by God (because of their desire for HIM and because they have sought after Him and been found in
His presence), and the Holy Spirit has weighed them down with the mantle of His anointing until they
have become adorned (clothed) in the illumination of His glorious splendor. At this point these Sons of
Glory have beautified themselves with His likeness (divine nature) and are bringing forth the golden
oil, which is allowing the fullness of the Holy Spirit to illuminate the risen Christ, our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of Glory!
I believe that the golden oil represents the latter and former rain anointing that will flow forth to the
candlestick (seven Spirits of God). Hosea 6:1-3 tells us that after 2,000 years Jesus will revive His
people as He comes to us as the latter and former rain. Zechariah chapter 4 presents us with a
perfect picture of that occurrence, and verses 12 through 14 give us a picture of the two olive
branches (menservants and handmaidens) who stand by the Lord of the whole earth, and the golden
oil of the anointed ones drains into the lampstand. Here is a prophetic word that came on November
8, 1998:
"Eye has not seen; ear has not perceived the things that I am about to do among My people. Those
that have come forth, those that have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, those that have
come by way of Gethsemane, I will now begin to bring forth the golden oil from within, the anointing of
My Spirit, and the power thereof that shall become a river of living water. That which I have spoken of
in My Word shall now begin to flow. It will flow forth as a mighty rushing river, even as it is spoken of in
My Word that on the day of Pentecost there came forth from heaven the sound of a mighty rushing
wind. I say, if you listen, you can hear the sound of this mighty rushing river, the river of My anointing
that comes forth, the river of My promise, the river of My power, the river of My purposes is about to
touch this earth. When it does, watch out! I say, watch out, for you have not understood nor have you
been able to perceive the magnitude and the power and the force with which it shall be birthed through
the hearts of My obedient ones. It is even now beginning to flow. I say, it is even now beginning to flow.
It is coming forth; it is up to your ankles; it is up to your waist. Now, get in the flow of My river and
receive all that I have for you. I am pouring forth a fresh anointing today; I am bringing forth the golden
oil that will bring light to this world and the hearts of many. You shall see the manifestation of the sons
of glory, for I have decreed it, I have spoken it, and now it becomes."
The golden oil is about to flow, and the first manifestation of the Sons of His Glory is going to be
candlestick light which is revelation knowledge. Now, it is not a coincidence that Bob Neumann
released revelation knowledge regarding the First Thunder (see Revelation 10:4) on the eighth day of
the Feast of Tabernacles, just as prophesied.
I have also seen some of that golden oil flowing forth from others since the Feast of Tabernacles. Jim
Rinker has been bringing forth revelation on what I believe will be one of the most important issues
(graven images) that the Most Holy Spirit is going to deal with as He prepares the bride. Bill Somers
has challenged the church to rethink the millennium, and Glenn Jackson has been prophesying that
God's greatest provision for His bride is now to be released. Our church has seen that provision
already (since the Feast of Trumpets).
I am sure there is more coming forth that I am not even aware of as of this writing. I will prophesy to
you, "1999 will be known as the Year of His Justice." His justice will bring both blessings and curses.
Blessings will go forth for the obedient and curses for the disobedient in dramatic ways.
There is going to come a mighty impartation of Christ's authority to the Sons of Glory who will
demonstrate the power of His kingdom with awesome signs and wonders following. I am already
witnessing a new boldness in His servants, but before the fullness of His authority is demonstrated by
the Sons of Glory, revelation knowledge will come forth like a mighty rushing river. It was Jesus who
said to Peter, "On this rock (Peter's revelation that Jesus was the Christ), I will build My church. Think
of this statement and the power of it!
Revelation knowledge becomes the substance of faith which then gives birth to the kingdom authority
which produces supernatural power that comes by the Holy Spirit.
The glory of the King will so rest upon His latter days' temple that a visible presence of the shekinah
glory of Almighty God will be upon His Sons of Glory, and the world itself will witness the Kingdom of
God in manifestation.
Come now, let us return to the Lord; let us be found under His cloud, for it is indeed moving. Arise, you
Sons of Glory, for the light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you! Now is the time of
the restoration of all things. Now is the hour of His visitation. Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Sound The Trumpet

Robert Holmes
Something very frightening happened to me this morning. I have pondered it all day, shaking my head and hoping the
impression it left on me would go away.
It was pretty simple. I had a dream, a long dream. At the very end I saw an angel, a very large angel with a trumpet in his
hand.
He spoke loudly to all who would hear him saying, "Judgement is coming, judgement is COMING! Wake up, wake UP!
WAKE UP!!" and with that I awoke, startled at 5.15am this morning, almost in a cold sweat.
Whilst praying about it the next day I got a little further insight. The Lord informed me that this particular angel was a
'cherubim' and that I should go look that up. With all the recent talk about angels I thought it might pay to spend just a
little time examining why the visit of a cherubim is significant.
Cherubim were set to guard the door to Eden. These huge servants of God 'stood with flaming swords' (Gn 3:24). They
stood over the Ark of the Covenant - covering each end by their wings (Ex 25:18). The writer to Hebrews spoke of them
this way, "above [the Ark] were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot speak
now in detail." (Heb 9:5). I wonder why...
They are guardians however Ezekiel in his vision of the Lord saw cherubim carrying the chariot or throne of God (Ezk ch
10). The most significant reference to these sort of angels however comes from David, who says that they are symbolic
of the storm-winds of heaven (Ps 18:10). God is spoken of as riding upon a cherubim (similar to riding the winds of
heaven) - see 2 Sa 22:11.
If the dimensions given in Solomon's temple are anything to go by they are about 5 metres (18 feet) tall - which
corresponds to the size of the angel I saw (1 Ki 6:26)!
Bless you

THE SOURCE OF REVELATION

By Bob Jones and Keith Davis
Recently the Lord has allowed us to see the things that have taken place in the second heaven. It has been apparent
what the plans and operations of the evil one are. Now the Lord is going to allow us to begin to see His plans for this
season of time.
The world is big and fat like a plum...by this time next year it will look like a prune. Even as far back as 1975, the Lord
has been stating that 1998 will be a pivotal year. The excess of the world will be consumed and the church will begin to
emerge. The reference to the church applies to the remnant willing to be cleansed and sanctified.
1998 will see the beginning of the preparation for the return of God's Glory. It will be a dark time in the world yet our hope
is for the return of God's great Glory. Even as it states in Revelations 3:20, the Lord stands at the door and knocks and
to HIM who hears and opens the door to his heart, the Lord will dine with him. This is an individual commission and
requires an individual response.
It is imperative that we guard against doing so much FOR God, and that we start doing things WITH God. We must learn
from the mistakes of the past. Many great leaders found themselves caught up in doing things for God and suddenly,
they lost their sensitivity to the voice of the Spirit. They fell into the traps of the devil, virtually nullifying their anointed
ministry. Our highest purpose is to have relationship with Him. Intimacy with the Lord is the essence of our purpose in
creation and the highest purpose in the restoration of all things. To walk with God in the cool of the evening is still our
highest aim.
The earth is going to enter into a season of travail. The world systems will be powerless in responding to the needs that
are about to be present in the earth. Even the diviners are prophesying essentially the same thing. When true prophetic
people prophesy many of the coming activities, evil spirits follow those ministries in order to relay that prophetic
information to the diviners so that they too can prophesy true events soon to occur in the earth.
Presently there is a tremendous release of revelation coming to the body of Christ from the second heaven. From the
second heaven can come revelation initiated from the demonic. For example, a spirit of sorcery is currently being
released intended to bring the church into disillusionment and discouragement. When people continue to seek revelation
that comes from the second heaven, hopelessness is produced in their hearts. In reality they are really seeking the plans
of Satan. Unless the true prophetic ministry brings revelation from the third heaven, from the presence of the Father, then
this hopelessness surely would prevail. However, with true revelation from the Father, though judgement may be pending,
there is always the hope of restoration, repentance and relationship with Him.
Revelation from the second heaven will always produce discontentment and cause a person to be dissatisfied with
whatever condition they are in. We should be as the Apostle Paul when he stated that whatever condition he was in, he
found himself content in Christ whether with plenty or without.
Many people are leaving their own congregations, seeking ministry from what they perceive to be anointed men or
women. The enemy has created discontentment in their own heart towards their pastor and likewise, has sold a delusion
to the pastor causing him to think that he does not have the power to set his people free. That is a lie from the pit of hell.
If a man is truly an anointed pastor placed in the body by God, then He will equip that man to feed the sheep and to set
them free from the oppression of the evil one. The discontentment released from the second heaven is even causing
people to drive all the way across the country to seek ministry in order to set their children free.
Sorcery is actually derived from a spirit of divining. This has allowed a tremendous release of the spirit of the diviners
against the body of Christ.
The Lord recently spoke that a large percentage of the divining against the Body of Christ is coming from the Unitarian
Church. The Holy Spirit is indicating that the prevailing principalities with the authority for divining are presently releasing
a strong spirit within the Unitarian Church creating delusion and discouragement against the Body of Christ.
The revelation to us for this present hour is to simply to not trust all revelation, but screen it through the Word of God. In
fact it would be the Lord's highest purpose in this present time to let the Word of God be the source of our revelation. We
should carefully screen and evaluate all revelation to make certain that it is not from the second heaven but actually from
the Holy Spirit.
Many people are making decisions based upon revelation they perceive is coming from the Holy Spirit. They perceive that
it is the Holy Spirit because it is exactly the thing they desire to hear and do. In reality, it is the spirit of divining speaking
to them the things that they desire not the things that the Spirit desires.
Bob recently had a vision of a man rising up with great power opposing the Church and creating considerable
discouragement and disillusionment. Bob approached this man with his black suitcase in his hand filled with what he
believed were the Shepherd's Rods. While this man was speaking concerning a number of prophecies he had received
through divining, Bob swung his briefcase at the man and hit him right between the eyes. The briefcase, filled with the
"Shepherd's Rod", actually blinded the man so that he was unable to continue his divining and also unable to prophesy
falsehood. The Spirit of Truth rendered the spirit of divining as powerless. Instead of his prophecies bringing numbness to
us, the true prophecies brought numbness and a dull ear to him.

A Dream About Spiritual Civil War

Susan Fochler
Dream: The setting was during the American Civil War, on a large, wealthy property in the south. Someone was
telling me a story about a family who lived there. The husband was off fighting in the war; the wife was holding down
the household. They lived in a large, southern-type mansion, with several stories. She had 4-5 kids from about age 4
to 16 or so. The Lord/Overseer in the area came to the woman and told her to provide for anyone who came to her
in need. The Lord would allow her to keep the family wealth and belongings, but she must be willing to feed, clothe
and nurse anyone who came their way in need. They didn't have to worry about running out of supplies for
themselves; the Lord would provide more if they did. If, however, they refused to provide for others, what they had
would be taken away.
The father had been gone for many years, and had lost his memory during the war. He returned, one day, while the
family was eating a meal. He came upstairs to where they were eating. He did not recognize the home because it had
been so long, and neither did the family recognize him. Eventually, the surroundings became familiar, and the father
cried out the name of the estate..."Arne(?)..." At that, the mother recognized him, and came over and hugged him,
rejoicing. The 2-3 younger boys, however, did not believe it was him and became offended. They were hurt; they
like things the way they were. They did not imagine life would be any better with their father. With time, with
obedience to the Lord's command, I sensed things would get better.
Interpretation: I sensed that Civil War is coming, very similar to the original Civil War of our country. But not a
war of flesh and blood, but of the spirit. The war is over slavery, not physical slavery but spiritual slavery. During
wartime all people willingly sacrifice for the war effort. During WWII men (for the most part, anyway) willingly left
their families, risked their lives. Those who stayed at home sacrificed in their own way; working on war causes,
giving up luxuries. The trivial concerns of their lives didn't matter as much. Almost everyone did something to help
out, from the young to the old. I was born after the war, but my parents have told me what it was like. And my
impression from books is that it was much the same during the Civil War.
I sense God is calling us into accounting for what and how we give, materially, emotionally and spiritually. That we
should take the law of sowing and reaping ever more seriously. Matt 12 explains that those who give will be given
more, and those who give little will have that taken away. Also, as in the parable of the talents in Matt 25; "playing it
safe" does not seem to be a strategy God would use as we head into the end times.
This is what the Lord said:
"War is coming. It is not a war of flesh and blood; it is a war of the Spirit. And it is a Civil War, over slavery. But
these slaves do not recognize their bondage. I am coming to set them free...but first they must recognize their
captivity. They are enslaved by darkness, and do not see the light. They say they are free, and do not feel the
shackles binding their arms and legs; the blinders on their eyes.
I am sending you out, My church, as light and salt. You are to be as light piercing the darkness. You are to be salt to
awaken their souls. I call for a new(old) strategy. I have given with generosity, so I would have you give. Give of
what you have, and I will give you more. To you who gives, much more is given; and to you who gives little, even
that will be taken away. I ask you to give all I have given you: My peace, My love, My joy, My mercy, My healing.
Give as I have given, and light shall pierce the darkness. Pour out your lives as I did, and shackles will break off.
Feed my sheep, clothe the naked, nurse the wounded.
Do you suppose I came to bring peace? Not at all, but rather division. War is division, and war is upon us. During
wartime, the niceties of your lives fade and dim, and the pre-eminence of battle and a winning strategy eclipses all
else. I am calling you to war...for the sake of the children. I call you to war...for the sake of the land. I call you to
war...to join My spiritual army and fight with My strategy alone."

Special Time of Decision:

by Thomas Gibson
These days that you are now in, these days that you are now in, these days that you are now in are the beginnings of
the wrath of God coming on this earth.
Never mistake the times that you have been in, which have been so good in terms of the world around you -- they are at
an end. The time is short till things start to turn away from the worldliness that has been so successful.
You'll begin to see the things of this world crumble, some fast, some slow, and some not at all for a while, but they will. It
is at this time you must make a commitment to the God of all God's, to the King of all Kings, the Lord of all Lords, to the
ruler of the universe. You must make a commitment not to live according to the things of this earth. For the things of this
earth shall pass, and the things of heaven shall never fail. Put your faith, your rewards, your treasure, your time to the
things of heaven. They shall never fail. They shall never fail.
Remember this: the time is a hand to make a decision of what you consider the most important. To turn from the world
and unto the Lord is the most important decision you can ever make.
To stand fast with the world and pretend all is well will destroy much of your prosperity in the future. For you'll have put
your treasure in the things of earth, (and not in heaven), and they shall pass, and they shall cease, and they shall come
to an end.
There is a time to stand up for the word of God, that is always the time to stand up for the word of God. But now is the
time that you must make a special decision: to make sure you are not being pulled by the world, you're not being pulled
by the world, you're not being pulled by the world, to put your money into their investments, to put your money into things
of this earth, because they say you shall reap the reward.
While I say, says the Lord, you shall reap damnation if you put your money into the things of this earth. For they shall
come to an end, and I shall bring it to an end.
Time is now short, and I shall bring fast upon this earth, judgment, first one thing and then another. Those who have put
their trust in Me, they shall walk with Me. Those who put their trust in Me, they shall be with Me. And those who have put
their trust in Me, they shall be rewarded.
But those who have put their trust in this earth, they shall reap the damnation because they have failed to yield to the
God of the universe, but rather they have yielded and served the god of this earth, and all its pleasures, and all its sin.
For do you not see, and do you not understand. There is never a time that you should trust this earth. But you should
always trust in the Lord God of all. But this is a special time, that if you trust in this earth you will lose all.
SO SAYS THE LORD GOD OF EVERYTHING!!

The Spirit and Power of Elijah

Jeff Treder
In Malachi 3:1-4, the prophet foretells the coming of two messengers, the first of whom is John the
Baptist, who prepared the way for the second, Jesus the Messiah. The purpose emphasized here for
Messiah’s coming is the purifying of His people, "like a refiner’s fire." In order to rightly understand the
fulfillment of this prophecy, we need to be aware that from the viewpoint of Old Testament prophecy,
including Malachi, it was not discernable that Messiah’s coming would be in two stages, with a
separation of millenia between them.
The Lord’s work in purifying His people has been a long labor indeed, extending from the call of
Abraham right down to the present. The first coming of Christ was the decisive moment in this long
process, providing the sin-cleansing power of His shed blood (see Heb.9-10), the life-giving power of
His resurrection, the guaranteed ultimate defeat of Satan, and, following Christ’s ascension to heaven,
the outpoured power and indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. At first glance we might wonder what
further purifying work was left to be done; but then we look around, and look at ourselves, and it’s
obvious. We await the redemption of our mortal, sin-corrupted bodies and the renewing of the whole
creation (Rom.8:22-23), and we look forward to the final destruction of death and Satan (1Cor.15:20-
28, Rev.20:7-15). From our standpoint, our Lord’s second coming is just as urgently necessary as His
first was.
With the completion of Scripture and the coming of the Spirit to indwell the church, the means were in
place to get right on with our purification. Sadly, for many centuries the church blew most of her
opportunities for growth in grace, giving the devil entrance to the temple through dozens of doors and
windows. So we had the carnal violence, cloaked in religious veneer, of the Crusades and the
Inquisition. We have suffered dead orthodoxies and lively heresies, false prophets and worldly clerics,
denominational squabbles and a suffocating multitude of lukewarm Laodiceas.
Nevertheless, Jesus is building His church and He will complete it. He is purifying His bride, and by
the time He comes for us, we will be "a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish,
but holy and blameless." (Eph.5:27) Just as the process of world evangelization is accelerating during
"the last of the last days," so is the purifying of the bride of Christ.
Again, when Malachi prophesied a preliminary messenger who would prepare the way for Messiah’s
coming, he did not foresee two separate comings. Since the purification of the church will culminate at
Jesus’ second coming, is it possible that God will again send a messenger to prepare the way, in a
final fulfillment of Mal.3:1?
Another hint in this direction comes in Matthew 17 when the disciples asked Jesus about the scribes’
teaching that Messiah’s coming would be preceded by a return of Elijah to prepare the way. This
teaching rested on a further prophecy of Malachi, and an explicit one: "See, I will send you the prophet
Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes." (4:5) Jesus’ reply to the disciples’
question is difficult to understand because it is somewhat enigmatic: "Indeed, Elijah is coming first
and will restore all things. But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but
did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."
(Matt.17:11-12 NKJV) The disciples, we are told, understood that He was referring to John the
Baptist. Well, the second part of the answer clearly does, but what do we make of the future tense of
the first part? John had already been beheaded; moreover, the statement that he "will restore all
things" evidently refers to the next verse in Malachi’s prophecy about Elijah (and the final verse of the
Old Testament): "He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to
their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse." It seems reasonably clear that this
profound, heart-deep restoration was not accomplished during the Baptist’s ministry, and it is certain
that all things have not been restored to Edenic purity yet. They will not be so restored until the bride of
Christ is fully purified and He comes back to receive her and decimate His enemies.
To my understanding, then, just as John the Baptist ministered "in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke
1:17), God’s word strongly suggests that another messenger (or John himself?) will come in the spirit
and power of Elijah to prepare the way for our Lord’s second coming.
Consider carefully this description of John by Alfred Edersheim:
"Not a reed shaken by the wind," but unbendingly firm in deep and settled conviction; not
ambitious nor self-seeking, but most humble in his self-estimate, discarding all claim but
that of lowliest service, and pointing away from himself to Him Who was to come, and
Whom as yet he did not even know. Above all, there was the deepest earnestness, the most
utter disregard of man, the most firm belief in what he announced. For himself he sought
nothing; for them he had only one absorbing thought: The Kingdom was at hand, the King
was coming—let them prepare! (The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, p.277)
This combination of utter humility, deep earnestness, unshakable conviction, and passion to know and
love and honor the Lord Jesus—this is the spirit and power of Elijah. It is an essential ingredient in the
glory that will be revealed in the saints of God (Rom.8:18-19).
John was the last of the Old Covenant prophets. His task was to prepare God’s people for the
imminent advent of their Messiah. He announced that the kingdom of God was at hand, but he died
before the New Covenant was established through Christ’s death and resurrection. He was the friend
of the Bridegroom, not the bride (John 3:29). This is the point of Jesus’ declaration: "I tell you the truth:
Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is
least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (Matt.11:11) This teaching of the complete
superiority of the New Covenant over the Old was later fully developed by the author of Hebrews.
If our Lord’s second coming is also preceded by a messenger ministering in the spirit and power of
Elijah, this time the messenger will speak from within the New Covenant community, and the main
thrust of his ministry will be to "restore all things," and especially to turn the hearts of the fathers to their
children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
Even secular society to some extent recognizes the dire need to restore the integrity of family life. In
its more lucid moments, secular society also recognizes its powerlessness to make it happen. The
last-days ministry in the spirit and power of Elijah will release God’s supernatural power for the
restoration of both natural families and the spiritual family, the church. There are signs, akin to the
rumbling and puffing before a volcano erupts, that this release is imminent. Numerous Christian
ministries are focusing on family integrity, such as Dr. James Dobson’s "Focus on the Family" and
Josh McDowell’s crusade for sexual purity among teenagers. More recently, the burgeoning Promise
Keepers movement suggests that the volcano is about to blow.
When it does, its power will be felt first of all in our hearts. Fathers and mothers who have neglected,
abused, or alienated their children will be brokenhearted, and the broken shards of stony hearts will
be replaced by God’s own heart of compassion. Simultaneously our children’s hearts will soften, and
forgiveness and reconciliation will flow like a spring river. Even more than this, the Father-heart of God
will be so poured out on the church that our hearts will be opened not just to our natural children but to
all children of any age who in one way or another have been deprived of father-love. We have only
begun to experience the heart of the Father, burning for His children with the heat of a million suns.
If this ministry is led by a single messenger, a new Elijah or John the Baptist, how can we recognize
him? Like the Baptist, his attitude toward the Lord Jesus will be, "He must increase, but I must
decrease." (John 3:30) He will be morally pure, full of integrity. He will announce with fiery zeal the
imminent return of the Lord. He will magnify Jesus and inspire fervent love for Him, and his passion
will be contagious. He will be humble, caring nothing for his own comfort or reputation: his attention will
be completely captivated by Jesus. His call to repentance will bear fruit on an unprecedented scale.
Watch for this—it is coming as surely as the new millenium: tens of millions, both believers and not-
yet-believers, will be brokenhearted and cleansed, then raised up again in the spirit and power of
Elijah so that they can spread the gospel fire farther and faster. Families by the thousands and then
the millions will be drawn together as their hearts are renewed, as will church congregations. This will
be the final great revival that the church is longing and praying for.
There is a tantalizing possibility that this fiery prophet may be identified with the two witnesses of
Revelation 11. These are usually understood to be either two men, literally, who perform the deeds
described there, or else as a symbolic representation of all the "overcomers" during the Great
Tribulation. Because they have the power to bring drought and plagues (v.6), they are associated with
Elijah and Moses. If there is a "second coming" of a prophet ministering in the spirit and power of
Elijah just prior to the Lord’s second coming, however, it may well be that he will receive the double
anointing of Elijah’s successor, Elisha (see 2Kings 2:9-10). Elisha’s double anointing was based on
the provision in the Mosaic law that the firstborn son should receive a double portion of his father’s
inheritance (Deut.21:15-17). Elisha was granted the double anointing because he was Elijah’s
spiritual firstborn son. So it seems possible that the prophetic precursor to Jesus’ second coming will
be ministering in "the spirit and power of Elisha," and that his ministry is depicted in Rev.11.
Jesus prophesied in the Olivet Discourse (Matt.24, Mark 13, Luke 21) that the years just preceding
His return would be a time of deepening moral and spiritual darkness worldwide. So it is now, as the
multifarious forces of evil, deception, and oppression tighten their grip on the nations. Even while
millions of people are grabbing all the pleasure they can, a great darkness is falling.
It will grow even darker, but as it does, so will grow the even greater light, and the people walking in
darkness will see that light. Under the anointing in the spirit and power of Elisha, the light of the gospel
will shine most brilliantly in the darkest places, and repentance and healing will abound where we least
expect it, in gay bars and crack houses, in wretched slums and vast bureaucracies, in Chinese mega-
cities and a thousand superstition-bound villages across India. This supernatural light will sweep
through the Muslim world in North Africa and the Middle and Far East. Japan, France, and Iraq will be
flooded with the miraculous, explosive power of the gospel. The name of Jesus will be on everyone’s
lips, many enraptured with His wondrous love, many others spitting bitter curses. This will fulfill
Habakkuk’s prophecy that "the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord." (2:14)
It will be like nothing this world has ever seen or imagined.

The Spider’s Web

by Judy Curmi

Judy, you will be rewarded for your obedience, even if you don’t always get the information quite right. I don’t look
at actions. I look at the condition of the heart. The two are different. Someone may do good out of evil motives. This
does not count for good.
Doing "good" for the purposes of selfishness and manipulation has no place in my Kingdom. I search hearts
continually for those I can use for my Purposes. It is often those who are despised who have the purest hearts.
The world’s system for evaluation is based on a foundation that is rotten and crumbling. Imparting that which is
rotten to your children will result in destruction for all, in the end. Once the good is lost it is virtually impossible to
recover, because the vessels have become so tainted. However, nothing is impossible for me.
In your society now, the tainting has gone down to the very young, almost as young as those still in diapers. This has
resulted from the installation of TV as pseudo mom and pseudo dad. This is no accident, but has been carefully
engineered by the evil one for his purposes. Turn your TV off! Keep your children away from this great source of
predatory evil. This is one of the sources Satan will soon use to try to bring people into total submission to himself.
People have been badly blinded by his seductive Pied Piper song, using no discretion whatsoever. Like lemmings,
they jump off the cliff—or, like insects, they see the Spider’s Web, but don’t discern what it is and fly right into it
where they are promptly caught in the sticky lines.
You cannot fly in between the veins in a Spider‘s Web and not get caught. You must stay well away from it. The
iridescent beauty of dew drops sparkling off of it in the early morning doesn’t make it one whit less dangerous or life
threatening. It only changes the external appearance.
Children, watch what you are doing to yourselves! Many of the things you are involving yourselves with, such as sex
on the Internet, are highly addictive. They are as hard to extract oneself from, once tasted, as the Spider’s Web.
That is because they are part of Satan’s Web. They are built to be highly attractive, overcome resistance and trap
the user permanently.
Rebellion among teenagers is another of these Webs. The blind lead the blind and they all fall into the pit.—Since the
pit is so full, everyone thinks they’re doing the right thing. It is still the pit! It is continuing to grow deeper and wider
as Satan expands his dominion.
It will not continue for long, because I am on the move now. I am only just beginning to wield my Power, but if you
listen carefully, you can hear the thunder in the distance that proceeds the storm.
This storm will be like nothing you have ever experience before with thunder, catastrophic lightening, driving rain and
howling, gale force winds. Are you under proper cover yet? Are you prepared in your heart for the shaking? Are
you under the protection of my wings* or have you selected something else for your source of cover? NO OTHER
COVER WILL STAND EXCEPT FOR MYSELF. These winds will blow away everything that is not of me and
leave you stripped naked.
I have warned you before. I am warning you again. Your population either flirts with or has been captured by great
evil. This way of thinking will fall before the fury of my storm like so many matchsticks before a hurricane.
Get your priorities straight and put me first if you wish to stand! You will only stand by being down low in
submission before me. Anyone can stand and shake their fist at the thunder as the storm approaches. But as the
deluge hits, they will be washed away, none the less.
Don’t be part of the body count! Seek me now, while I can still be found. Seek me before it is too late. Be
enraptured with ME, not the world. Start preparing NOW.
The Most High
*Ps 17:8 Keep me as the apple of your eye: hide me in the shadow of your wings. (NIV)
Ps 63:7 Because thou hast been my helper, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I glory.
Ps 36: 5-12 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the universe. Thy
righteousness is like the mountain of God: thy judgements are like a great deep; O Lord, thou preservest
man and beast.
How abundant is thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men take refuge under the shadow of
thy wings. They shall flourish with the richness of thy house; and thou shalt give them to drink of the
pleasant water of thy spring.
For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them
that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. For there the
workers of iniquity will fall; they will be cast down, and will not be able to rise.
Ps 57:1-5 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul trusts in thee; yea, in the shadow of
thy wings will I make my refuge until these calamities be overpast. I will cry to God most High, to God my
Savior.
For he has sent from heaven and delivered me; he has put mine enemies to shame. God shall send forth his
mercy and truth.
He has delivered my life from the vicious as I slept in fear, and from the sons of men, whose teeth are spears
and arrows, and their tongues sharp swords.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.
Ps 61:3-5 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from my enemies. I will abide in thy
tabernacle forever; I will make my refuge the shadow of thy wings. For thou, O God, hast heard my vows;
thou hast given an inheritance to them that revere thy name.

What The Spirit Is Saying To The Church

by Jim Wies
John answered, saying to all, "I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose
sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. "His winnowing fan is
in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the
chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire." Luke 3:16-17
A vision from the Lord .... given by Bill Price
"I saw a "winnowing wind" in the Spirit, which will be preparation for a great wind in the natural. Just as the great
hurricanes that have blown through this area (Florida) would blow down some trees and not others; some very large, well
spread, traditional trees were blown down while smaller, less sturdy looking ones were left remaining, so it shall be. After
the storm the Lord spoke to me that the wind was not weeding out evil trees from the good ones, but rather, blowing over
what was not firmly rooted."
There is a ‘winnowing wind’ coming to thin out the forest of trees you have in your spiritual yard - your collection of
philosophies, doctrines etc., "and the wind will come "a winnowing" says the Lord... "to weed out the ones not firmly
rooted in My soil of Truth." God says this is a favor from Him; not to fear, for this storm of His mercy is a wind to prepare,
strengthen and protect you for the coming storms that will occur in the natural that could cause damage.
"So when you feel My Spirit blowing and see some of your favorite trees start to bend and sway, do not fear, but trust in
God’s winnowing work in your lives." God says this is a divine favor from Him to you.
God says... "Do not lose faith, but add to it. Do not be discouraged that it appears your prayers have not been answered
and that you still have not seen victory in the area you are seeking it, but rejoice that you are a day closer to My
deliverance, an hour nearer to your healing, a minute closer to your provision, a blink of an eye away from your darkness
being turned into light.
Do not fret, but rejoice. My arm is not to short that it cannot reach you. Your problem is not to big for My hand. Put your
faith in Me, trust My unfailing love for you. I’m dealing with deep issues, I’m preparing you for an outpouring of My Godlike
miracle-working power. You have prayed and cried out for My fire. Let it purge. Do not run from it, submit to my ways,
trust My unfailing love for you. I have a strategy for you. I’ll whisper it to your heart, I’ll show it to you in My Word, and I’ll
confirm it with my teachers and prophets, and will give you peace of mind about my godly counsel and My Holy Spirit will
bear witness to it. So be encouraged, rejoice, trust in Me." says the Lord.

Satan's Plan
Jim Rinker
Satan’s Plan to Divide and Conquer the Church

The enemy’s plan to destroy Christendom is multifaceted. He will use both external means as well as internal means
(inside of Christendom) to accomplish this goal. In his most sinister of plans, he is attempting to destroy the church
through the tactic of "divide and conquer".
It is the enemies full intention to split the church into many divisions then actually get each camp to fight against the
other one thus destroying the church from within. This tactic is by no means new for the denominations today are a
product of this exact scheme. In this hour, this plan will only become more deceptive and more destructive.
One of Satan's main tactics in accomplishing this goal is to bombard Christendom with a flood of false fruit in the form of
revelation, teaching, or life experiences. This false fruit comes directly from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As
the name implies, there is fruit emanating from this tree which has the appearance of both good and evil. Both are false,
both are corrupting, both bring death.
Tree of Knowledge
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.
All fruit that is put forth from this tree, either good or evil will without a doubt bring forth death and destruction. Satan will
use either the good, the evil, or both depending on the circumstances to destroy the church. In scripture, he is known
both as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) and also as him who will destroy wonderfully from a
platform of peace and prosperity (Daniel 8:24). He is described in this same manner in:
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake
as a dragon.
The two Hebrew words in Genesis 2:17 bear out the meanings of both good and evil. The word "good" is derived from the
Hebrew word (02896 bwj towb {tobe}) and refers to those things which are good, pleasant, agreeable. The word "evil" is
derived from the Hebrew word (07451 er ra` {rah}) and refers to those things which are bad, unpleasant, or evil.
Thus he can destroy and divide through either words of false peace and prosperity as he can by words of judgment and
destruction. Depending on what situation you are in, the enemy has a plan to destroy both you and the church
corporately by these two methods.
These attributes of the enemy are nothing more than an imitation of those same things God used in our lives to bring
about life. It is not a matter of choosing between that which appears either good (pleasant) or evil (unpleasant) but rather
choosing to receive or reject based upon the source, either the tree of life or tree of knowledge.
Tree of Life
In contrast to the fruit from the tree of knowledge, the fruit from the tree of life brings life to those who partake of it. Not all
that comes from the tree of life "appears" to be from God nor appears to be good (pleasant). At closer inspection,
however, the very hardships of life are those things God puts in our path to turn us back to Him. Sometimes hard words
of judgment break up the fallow ground of our hearts and thus bring life and allow us to receive words of encouragement
and blessing. We know that no matter how it may appear, He does all things well. John the Baptist speaks of this life
giving fruit in:
Luke 3:4-6 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and
hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways [shall be] made smooth; And all
flesh shall see the salvation of God.
>From this scripture we see that both pleasant and unpleasant things come from the tree of life. Depending on the
individual (as all words from God are tailor made), we either need raising or lowering in our lives or a combination of both.
We all want to be raised up from our valley of despair but how many of us want to be lowered when pride raises it’s ugly
head and we truly need to be lowered?
Thus the choice is not between receiving either pleasant things and unpleasant things into our lives but rather in choosing
those things that come from the tree of life whether pleasant or unpleasant and rejecting those things coming from the
tree of knowledge.
Polarization
There are several ways that the enemy will use the deceptive fruit from the tree of knowledge to destroy the church. He
will either use that which appears to be good, that which appears to be evil, or both simultaneously in order to
accomplish his goals according to the situation. Thus if he can get one part of the camp to embrace one doctrine while
getting another portion of the camp to embrace another doctrine he can use that to cause division.
Some in the body only want to hear uplifting words (by their definition) while others will not receive words of blessing. The
enemy then uses our "rejection" of the whole council of God (sum of thy word is truth) as an opportunity to get us to
attack one another based on disagreement.
As mentioned, the choices we make concerning what we receive must be based on the SOURCE rather than the
APPEARANCE.
Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt
tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by
their fruits ye shall know them.
It is when these two issues are confused that we will play right into the hand of the enemy. It is at this focal point which
the enemy will begin to work to divide the church. If we are basing what we receive on good (pleasant) vs. evil
(unpleasant) and not on the source (the tree) there WILL be confusion, division, strife, and contention.
The enemy will then place a pair of glasses on our eyes which will give us clear discernment into the "bad fruit" that the
"other group" has chosen to partake of while blinding us to the "bad fruit" that we are currently partaking of. This is why
Paul exhorted us in:
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good (from God). Abstain from all appearance of evil
(from Satan).
Even worse, he will send false prophets to justify why you need to "address" the speck in your brother’s eye. If the
enemy can get us to move outside of His timing, not allowing God’s word to "cleanse" each other, not giving grace to one
another, then we will be a tool in the enemies hand to destroy rather than build and edify. Truth must be applied
according to the individual and according to His timing in order to bring life and not destruction.
We therefore need to "prove" all things according to their source (tree). There is so little discernment concerning the
source of doctrine and revelation. Because of this we have a multitude of denominations today with large factions of the
church preaching against one another. The enemy has in effect put a sack over our head and twisted us around and now
we are left blind with a big sword in our hands (word of God) swinging blindly at anything that we perceive to be our
enemy without any further inspection that surface judgment.
Discerning the True
Discernment concerning the validity and source of any revelatory word or teaching can only be judged IN THE SPIRIT.
Filtering a revelatory word through the word of God is ONE necessary test of the validity of the word. This test, however,
is not the complete picture. Paul exhorts us in:
1 Corinthians 2:10-14 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep
things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of
God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words
which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them],
because they are spiritually discerned.
Therefore it is on the spiritual plane and NOT through mental accent that we can know truth from error. John addresses
this issue further in:
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in
the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is
that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Notice that what we are trying, in addition to the "words" are the SPIRITS behind the words. In this we also see the need
to have both the Logos and Rhema discernment. This kind of discernment will lead us directly to the source of the
revelation. Notice that John refers to the "spirit" confessing Jesus Christ as "coming into the flesh" and not the person.
The word confesseth can also mean agreement (Greek word 3670 omologeo homologeo {hom-ol-og-eh'-o} compound of
two Greek words 3056 logov logos {log'-os} [saying] and 3674 omou homou {hom-oo'} [together]). So what the spirit
behind their revelation is saying MUST agree with the spirit of Christ within you.
John eludes to this further by saying in:
1 John 4:4-6 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is
in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that
knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
His basis of judgment of spirits was in the unity of the spirit (agreement). If anyone else could not receive what they (the
apostles) were speaking then he knew they were not of God because of the lack of agreement between their spirit and
the spirit of Christ within the apostles.
This passage also eludes to the time coming when the apostles and prophets are fully released and they WILL
(absoluteness) represent the Father’s opinions and judgments. To not receive them and their message will be to reject
God because what they will be speaking will be 100% truth.
Logos and Rhema
There is likewise a necessary balance between the word and the spirit. The written word gives us an permanent
benchmark by which we can gain knowledge of what the Father requires, what is pleasing to Him, and what is not
pleasing to Him. It is His revealed word that gives us the proper application of His word. Therefore all revelation must pass
through the WORD and the SPIRIT in order to be of God.
It is the knowledge base from the word of God that allows us to hear more clearly from the Father. The interplay between
Logos and Rhema is that doctrine can only be established upon what is both WRITTEN and REVEALED. There are
many passages of scripture to which the Lord has not yet brought full REVELATION and thus DOCTRINE based on
those scriptures cannot be established until He chooses to reveal the meaning in His perfect timing.
Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong]
unto us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.
It is this combination of Logos and Rhema that allows us to discern between words that we are hearing from our own
imagination, words that we are hearing from the enemy, and words that we are hearing from God. Without the written
word, we would have no basis to either accept or reject those things spoken to our spirit man. Without divine revelation
we would begin to "mentally ascend" towards the Father, something which is forbidden in true worship.
Exodus 20:25-26 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool
upon it, thou hast polluted it. Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered
thereon.
The "steps" speaking of us making a way to Him rather than Him reaching down to us.
Without the written word we would have no benchmark by which to filter our false revelation. The use of Logos and
Rhema together will keep us from all deception and allow us to gain an intimate knowledge of the Father and His
thoughts and intentions.
Decisions and Opinions
We make a decision or form an opinion based on knowledge (what we know). This is were many of us go astray from the
start. If you do not have an intimate knowledge of what the Father requires or what is really His opinion, our only basis on
forming an opinion or coming to a decision is from our own IMAGINATION!
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,
that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. We speak
to others based on those opinions and decisions (judgements) that we have formed. We judge others based on what we
know and we judge what others based on our beliefs and/or what we see. But what if one or many of our opinions are
wrong? What if we truly are blind in many areas of our walk with God? There are alot of things that is hidden to the naked
eye that can only be found IN THE SPIRIT. If we refuse to walk IN THE SPIRIT then our opinions are sure to be wrong,
being grounded in the flesh.
Romans 8:1-8 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For
what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit
the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. Because the
carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are
in the flesh cannot please God.
With this in mind, we are not to judge based on what we see in this realm but rather in the spirit.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the
flesh, yet now henceforth know we [him] no more.
In light of Paul's exhortation, our decisions and opinions can only be pleasing to the Father and TRUTH if they are based
on the revelatory knowledge of God which is ONLY found IN THE SPIRIT.
It is in the spirit that we are able to discern and divide good from evil, those things rooted in our natural man (soul) verses
those things that are of the spirit.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the
dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
heart.
It is in the spirit that we begin to "rightfully divide" the word of God, taking separate "truths" and putting them together to
form a TRUTH.
Psalms 119:160 The sum of Thy word is truth, And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting.
It is on this plane were Satan is doing his warfare and seeks to do his greatest damage. His most deceptive tactic (and
most destructive) is to use the word of God out of context or change it slightly by which he can prove just about anything.
It has been this way from the beginning starting with the deception of Eve and is no different today.
So how does he use the word of God against us?
Here is one example of how he can use scripture to "divide and conquer" instead of "rightfully divide". One camp within
the body emphasizes that we are the king’s kids and that we are going to reign with Jesus. A truth no doubt. They fail to
mention, however, any covenental obligations that may precede this truth. Another camp goes to the opposite extreme
and emphasizes the truth of the suffering that we must go through for our King but never mentions our "rightful place" in
Christ as His children.
Both statements are "truths" written in God’s word but taken out of context (presenting them separately) these "truths"
now are turned into a lie. The revelatory truth in this case would be:
2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:
Therefore, opinions and judgments based on SOME truth are not TRUTH at all but a lie. In fact, I would go so far as to
say that it is this type of revelation that is coming from the tree of knowledge. A half truth will always be a lie. It is not
good enough to be written in the word of God to be truth. It must also be properly applied to bring life.
1 Timothy 1:5-8 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of]
faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully
Using the word "lawfully" is to bring about reconciliation and restoration.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19 And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us
the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their
trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now I have been in both type of churches (reigning or suffering) and what I will hear is how "those others" are in error and
need to repent. Then the message is usually sealed with the scripture:
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
[thing]; and I will receive you
It is this type of preaching that causes suspicion, fear, strife, contention and division. Satan has done his job of divide
and conquer, carrying out his plans through Gods children. Is this as revolting to you as it is to me? The sad
commentary on this is that the combination of those two "truths" is a TRUTH but our PRIDE and the deceptive blindness
from the enemy has caused us to REACT rather that to SEEK in HUMILITY.
One more example.
Genesis 3:4-5 "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil".
Now some say the lie was in the statement of being "like gods". However this is not the case. We are promised
immortality through salvation in Jesus Christ and to know "in full" when we are transformed.
1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I
know even as also I am known.
The statement that Satan made to Eve was "partially true" but not truth. The lie was in HOW she would gain immortality
and how she would gain hidden knowledge, which was to partake of the wrong tree.
Paradigm Shift
This section is a prophetic word I received in October of 1997. It fits in with this topic because I believe the Lord will
divinely "clear the confusion" and make null and void the flood of lies and deception that we have been bombarded with to
all those who will humble themselves. It will be our job to position ourselves to receive what is about to come so He may
restore through us that which was lost.
Isaiah 61:4-6 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the
waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the
alien [shall be] your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: [men] shall call
you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
This will only occur to the degree that we are willing to admit that much of what we have been taught and cling to as truth
may be either partially or totally wrong. We can only be filled if we are empty. We can only be restored if we are first
desolate. We can only partake to the degree we have need. It is in this place were we will find the truth.
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.
The Lord wants to make iron rods into fiberglass rods. The Lord wants to take the rigid and make it pliable. The Lord is
about to bring about a Paradigm Shift within the body of Christ. This shift will challenge our lines of thinking, our beliefs,
and our entire concept of what true Christianity looks like.
The fact is that there may be absolutely no historical precedence or no biblical precedence for what is about to occur.
That is not to say that it will not align perfectly with scripture. It means that we may not be able to find a scripture to
confirm the event. We will not be able to judge the Paradigm Shift by past revivals nor compare it with them.
Every man and every woman will have to judge what is about to occur based upon agreement with the spirit of Christ
within them. This move will forcefully take away ALL control from the hands of man and place it firmly into the hands of
the Holy Spirit. It will make the Father our provider of ALL things and make us totally reliant upon God as our source of
revelation which will allow us to discern the truth.
There is much biblical precedence for God doing what was previously biblically unprecedented. Never was there a burning
bush until Moses. Peter had to think really hard before believing that his vision to eat of "unclean animals" was really
revelation from the Father. The outpouring of the spirit on the day of Pentecost was never seen before that day.
John the Baptist, who was the fore runner to Jesus, the one sent to prepare the way for the old to pass away and the
new, could not fully recognize the Son of God when He appeared. John's view of the Redeemer was not the way Jesus
appeared. John proclaimed in:
Luke 3:17 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but
the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Later, John was put in jail and had some of his disciples go to Jesus to ask Him if He was the Christ or should we look
for another. In the paradigm shift, God will do something completely unexpected even to those who seem closest to Him.
Jesus answer to John's disciples was the sick are healed, the dead raised, the lepers are cleaned. Jesus came in a form
which was unexpected.
He was suppose to come in judgement but rather He came in mercy. He was suppose to come as King but rather He
came as a lamb to be sacrificed. If we are not careful in these last days we may miss God because of our opinion of
what the "fire of God" and "revival" will look like.
God must completely destroy the old before we are capable of receiving the new. Our old man, our old ways, our old
opinions, and our own lines of thinking must be completely eliminated in order to receive the new from God. Just as the
old heavens and old earth must pass away for us to receive the new heavens and new earth, likewise what we currently
have, no matter how good it looks, must pass away in order to receive the new from God. Jesus taught this concept in:
Luke 5:36-39 (emphasis on v.39) "And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment
upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not
with the old. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and
the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. No man also having drunk
old [wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better".
Until the old is removed from within us, we will be incapable of receiving the new. Familiarity breeds content. Pride makes
null and void the humility needed to receive from the Father. We must be removed from our comfort zone violently. Paul
teaches us "if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know".
We think we have God all figured out. We think that we have the whole plan of God laid before us. Our lines of doctrine
and thinking are so rigid that we, as our spiritual fore runners 2000 years ago, are in jeopardy of being incapable of
receiving what is about to occur. The time has come were no doctrine can be considered sacred, no opinion that we have
can be considered absolute. All men must lay it all before the Father and ask for personal revelation daily from the
Father.
Could we recognize Jesus if He showed up today. Would He appear in the "form" we expected Him to appear? Are our
lines of thinking so rigid that when He visits His people again would most recognize Him? These are questions that we
must ask ourselves in this time of preparation and transition. Self is extremely deceptive. Satan’s flood of lies and
deception only add to the confusion. We have a natural tendency to think God’s opinions are opinions. We have a
tendency to think that our ways are God's ways and our thoughts are God's thoughts. In the past God would wink at
such ignorance, the time has now come for all men to repent and come into full agreement with God.
This will happen when we view Jesus from a fresh perspective, when we cling to no "sacred" doctrine or belief, when self
is completely eliminated. Remember, a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Likewise, only a "little" flesh will taint the
pure stream of revelation from the Father. What is about to occur must, MUST be 100% God and 0% us. The paradigm
shift will expose what are our opinions and what is God's opinion. This shift will expose just how steeped we are in our
own opinions and established religion.
Conclusions
Satan’s plan to destroy the church is well underway. God’s plan to restore that which has been lost through his lies and
deceptions will shortly come to pass. I pray that we may have the humility to let go of everything that we have esteemed
as valuable but has no spiritual value. Satan’s plan can only be effective in us to the degree that we esteem our beliefs
higher that God. Our lives and identities must be hidden in Christ or all will be corrupted and lost. The fire will burn all that
is not of Him in those who will allow Him to purge them. Our trust must be in His ability to make us overcomers. In Him
nothing can be tainted, nothing can be touched. In Him there is simply no possibility for Satan to divide and conquer.
The word for this season is WAIT. Those who choose the pathway of patience and perseverance, allowing God to reveal
to us all truth IN HIS TIMING will receive the pure stream of revelation from the throne of God. These will receive the
power to overcome this world. If we can just live before God and not man, He will purge our minds of any need to return to
the "dead works" of the law which have no redemptive power.
Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to
God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
I pray that we may have the faith to leave behind those things which look holy and righteous but having no spiritual value
and onto the goal which is Christ and His love in us.
1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith
unfeigned
I pray that our consciences would be sprinkled clean of any guilt of "outward appearances" and fear of man for in the
days to come the pressure will be great to return to dead religious works to "justify" ourselves, making our own way and
in effect mentally ascending up towards God.
Finally, there is a distinct possibility that those who press on with God in this paradigm shift will be branded as heretics
and persecuted. God is about to do something completely new, completely unexpected, and completely God! The
paradigm shift is now occurring, are you flexible enough to shift with it? Will you be able to recognize it when it happens?

The Squeezing Of The Grapes

Sherry Mackey
November 10, 1998:

For with what measure it is measured out, it shall be measured unto you. The squeezing of the
grapes, a pressing out of the skins and the seeds, a pressing out to reveal the sweetness of the
harvested fruits. After harvest is the transformation from fruit to new wine. The skins that are left are a
vague remnant of what you were, pressed out, shaken together and running over as the new wine is
refined and defined in the vessels I have chosen. The seeds of the once ripe grapes, crushed,
pressed & discarded are dried and planted for the soon multiplied harvest.
The squeezing, breaking, and pressing of your hearts is producing true compassion, true fruits of My
Spirit. How can you have compassion unless you yourself are compassed with infirmity? Are you able
to exercise gentleness and forbearance toward the ignorant and erring? If those who are overtaken in
a fault, are you able to restore such a one in a Spirit of meekness? For with the same measure you
measure out it will be measured to you. There was a traveler who fell into the hands of bandits who
stripped him and wounded him leaving him half dead. As he lay helplessly along the roadway, I
watched the pious self righteous priest and Levite pass on the other side of the road, looking but not
wanting their garments spotted by such a one. A Samaritan, an outcast of what was the acceptable
standard, looked. The compassion of this outcast Samaritan, was borne out of the depths of
experience with infirmity. It takes a reject to know a reject. This Samaritan not only looked, but had
compassion on him. He bound up his wounds and poured in the oil and the wine and took care of him.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your
mind and love your neighbor as yourself. How can you help the lost when you can't even help your own
brothers? Truly there are many that lie wounded. Wounded by My enemy and wounded by their
friends. An army that wounds it's own wounded. An army who distances themselves and surely
wounds each other. Whoever has goods, both physical and Spiritual, and sees his brother in need,
and shuts up his bowels of compassion's from him, how can the love of God dwell in him? My Spirit
sends those vessels to heal the broken hearted, to deliver the captives, to open blind eyes, to liberate
those who are bruised. I AM a God of Hope, and My hope will never make them ashamed.
As a king loses touch with the subjects of his kingdom, he must therefore go among the people to see
their condition, relate where they are, so he won't be out of touch with the objective........to win them so
they become loyal subjects to his kingdom. I came to those who were in need of a physician, those
who were sick in every way. I AM the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! I AM the good King, and I AM
familiar with the feelings of My people's infirmities. I care. Blessed are the poor in Spirit. Do not pass
judgment on a weaker brother, for one day you could be weak too. Show mercy to people who have
doubts, for I even chose one of the twelve who had much doubts.
Character issues are being developed in this season. It is in the secret places with Me that I shall see
your progress, not before the admiration of man. It is not who you are before men that counts, it is who
you are before Me. There must be balance between the gifting and the maturation of your character.
The gifting without balanced character results in self righteous pride. The gift is My Son. The working
and proving of the gifting is through your submission to My character molding in the furnace of
affliction that My Son will be seen in you.
Psalms 145: 8-14 KJV The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of
great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy
works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the
glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty
acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

SHEPHERDS ROD 1999

Visions Given to Bob Jones Written by Keith Davis
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) is recognized in scripture as one of the most important dates of
the year since the time of Moses. This date continues as a most significant Holy Day even within the
twentieth century church.
For the past decade Bob Jones has received significant revelations on this date outlining the
activities of the Holy Spirit for the coming years. The accuracy of these revelations has proven to be
extremely profound.
The term "Shepherd's Rod" comes from Ezekiel 20:37 stating, "AND I SHALL MAKE YOU PASS
UNDER THE ROD, AND I SHALL BRING YOU INTO THE BOND OF THE COVENANT". This
scripture symbolically portrays a shepherd extending his rod as the sheep pass under his staff for
evaluation. In this same way we as the Lord's sheep pass under His staff during this season as further
described in Jeremiah 33:13 and Leviticus 27:32.
The purpose of this booklet is to simply outline the insights that were received on that date in order to
biblically convey the revelation. Much of the Truth given in the Shepherd’s Rod is like seed that, once
planted requires time to develop and mature. These revelations apply to the year that it is given and
the years to follow as each revelation provides greater clarity and focus of the Lords heart for this
generation.
THE COMING POWER

One of the most important words for this year is the promised release of genuine Holy Spirit POWER.
Power that travels with the speed of thought. Power to confront. Power to read people’s hearts. Power
to run through a troop of the enemy and power to jump over their walls. Power to bless and power to
curse. This power to curse is a righteous power from the Holy Spirit enabling the church to curse
sickness and disease and all the power of the evil one.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)
{You know of} Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power,
and {how} He went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed by the devil; for
God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)
The Lord is going to release the power and authority to curse all that is in opposition to His purposes
in the church and on the earth. There is coming power to open and power to close.
"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will
shut, when he shuts no one will open.
"And I will drive him {like} a peg in a firm place, and he will become a throne of glory to his
father's house. (Isaiah 22:22-23)
There is approaching from heaven a constant flow of power...Righteous power derived through
TRUTH. At this juncture of the vision the Lord presented old bond servants who had faithfully served
Him. This group consisted of both men and women who had been bond servants to the Lord, faithfully
serving Him predominately through intercessory prayer. These loyal servants will be given the
opportunity of planting seeds for the coming harvest, before they are called home to their reward.
These men and women will plant seeds that will be divinely protected and will not be devoured nor
destroyed. After that, a great thirst came upon me and I was given ice to quench this thirst. When our
Lord hung on the cross brutally beaten and torn, He cried out "I thirst". Through this vision I was
somehow allowed to experience, at least to some measure, the thirst that the Lord experienced while
on the cross.
Just prior to the release of His Spirit to the care of the Father and the death of His flesh, the Lord cried
out in thirst. This signifies the death of the old man for many...The old fleshly nature crying out one last
time. In the vision instead of being given water I was given ice. The ice also symbolized considerable
ice storms and flooding.
With the coming power to the body there will also arrive a corresponding power to shake the oil
cartels of the world. Not only will this effect the oil producing nations but also the great manufacturers
of massive equipment supporting this industry. This will create a tremendous shaking of the American
economy producing a ripple effect throughout many industries.
This power will also create a sizeable shaking in the mega-ministries that have not been totally faithful
in the provision entrusted to them. The coming power will produce many good and profitable things,
likewise, it will also shake all that can be shaken. The ministries that have taken the Lord’s provision
and consumed it on themselves rather than dispensing it on those for whom it was intended, will see
considerable shaking through the release of this divine power.
And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying," Yet once more I will
shake not only the earth, but also the heaven."
And this {expression} "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be
shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
(Hebrews 12:26-27)
DEATH TO OUR OLD WAYS

We will not get what we want, instead we will receive what we need. We will be granted provision that
is spiritually beneficial for us though not necessarily appealing. The Lord will prepare a table for us in
the presence of our enemies.
Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my
head with oil; My cup overflows. (Psalms 23:5)
The Lord is going to prepare a table for us and it will consist of that which is good, beneficial and
healthy to our spirit, soul, and body. When Daniel and his three friends were led into captivity, they
refused the delicacies of Babylon. Instead, they insisted upon the vegetables that were sanctified for
them according to the Word of God. Daniel refused the intoxication of Babylon and chose the
"simplicity & purity of devotion".
The church must refuse the delicacies offered by "Babylon" and consume only that which has been
sanctified by the Spirit and the Word. It is mandatory that we begin to train our spiritual ears to hear,
not necessarily what we want to hear, rather, what we need to hear in order to survive that which is
soon coming to the earth. It is essential to develop an appetite like the Lord’s when He was on the
earth...to do the will of the Father. Our spiritual diet should consist of divinely granted provision
essential to our health and well-being. Our Savior’s plans for us are for welfare and not calamity, to
give us a future and a hope.
In so doing, our countenance will become illuminated and visibly apparent because of God’s favor and
good pleasure. Our earnest prayer should be for the grace to yield our will to the will of the Father
and receive from Him that which we need to become spiritually fit. Our own human wisdom is not
sufficient to even know how we should pray concerning the unprecedented events soon approaching.
Only the release of the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation can equip us suitably.
The Lord placed a plate of vegetables in front of me on which Daniel and his friends were willing to
survive. These were not things that were appealing to the appetite but were essential for good health.
So shall it be with us spiritually. Proper spiritual nutrition will develop maturity, equipping us for the
coming warfare. Strong meat will be given to the coming apostles and prophets but it will be released
to the body only as the body achieves maturity and able to consume it without harm. The end result will
be the emergence of healthy Christians and a more glorious church.
Despite all of the travail in the world and the world systems, the church will develop in maturity and
divine favor. We must, however, enter in according to the Lord’s prescribed manner.
THE JOURNEY TO CAPTIVITY

The U.S. will now begin to see its journey into captivity commence. Those who have not prepared
themselves according to God’s formula will begin to see the various departments of there lives
entering into captivity. Spiritual, mental, physical, social, emotional, and sexual realms will all come
into captivity. America itself will begin to see the beginning stages of emotional, financial, and spiritual
bondage.
Even the social, emotional and sexual realms which have seemingly run rampant and unchecked will
now enter into a form of captivity and bondage that will clearly demonstrate God’s justice. The
judgements prophesied for this country will now become apparent in the coming year. Some of these
judgements are set and will not be changed. Fortunately, there remains a small opportunity for divinely
granted repentance that can change their severity. Many have spurned mercy and grace for the last
time and will experience the Lord’s chastening hand. Still others have an opportunity to appeal to the
mercy and grace of God and repent for disobedience and unbelief and obtain mercy even in the midst
of judgement. This applies not only to the world but also to those in the church that have harbored sin
in their lives that the Lord has been attempting to deal with for years.
Not only is the Lord interested in our actions but also in our motives. We must be willing to allow the
Holy Spirit to deal with the issues of our heart that have been contrary to His divine nature. There must
come a death to the old unregenerate nature and self-gratification to become a sanctified vessel
suitable for the Holy Spirit if we hope to survive the intense times ahead.
Even in the midst of the coming judgements, decisions can still be made that will temper the
magnitude. If America will repent and willingly send the gospel into the far corners of the earth, then
the judgement can be appeased. However, if America continues in hardness of heart, then she will go
into captivity and will be sent, but as "slaves". Instead of being independent and providing a source for
the world, she will become dependent and rely upon others for her sustenance.
This year America will experience the betrayal of her allies. "I called to my lovers, {but} they
deceived me; My priests and my elders perished in the city, while they sought food to restore
their strength themselves. (Lam 1:19) Nations perceived as our friends will be more concerned for
their own welfare and will neglect their commitments to America.
We are not going to have our way. America and even the church must learn the reality of submission
to God in every department of life. He desires our willing submission spiritually, emotionally, and
physically.
The church is so closely interwoven with the world that even the judgements intended for the world will
have a subsidiary effect on the church because of this unholy alliance.
The church must be separated from the world as Israel was separated from Egypt in the land of
Goshen. To the extent that we remain interwoven with the world and its systems so also will the
judgements effect the church. The Lord is saying "Come out of her my people, so that you do not
partake of her sin". Separation is required so that we do not partake of the world’s judgement.
The Lord is desiring to prepare a table for us in the presence of our enemies, yet we must be
separated completely unto Him in order to join Him at His table. We are to be the light that the world
should desire. We cannot be that light if we are also a partaker of the world’s ways. (Mark 4:18-19) (II
Corinthians 6;17-18) Though in the world, the consecrated believer is not part of the world. The church
must be willing to consume that which the Lord sets before us in willing obedience to Him. That is a
key message for the coming year - BE YE SEPARATE.
THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS

The book given for this year is Lamentations. America will begin to see the early stages of her demise
as she will begin to enter "Captivity". Even the church shares in this responsibility as God's people are
to be the "light" of a nation. Because of the dis-unity and lack of power in the church as a whole, we
have failed to provide the moral leadership necessary for this nation to reach the world with the gospel
of power and salvation. As a result, the dirge of Lamentations is the appropriate book for the coming
season. Even so, Lamentations also emphasizes the Lord's faithfulness to His people that have been
loyal and obedient to His Voice.
The cloud that will be a provision for the faithful will also produce judgment for this nation as the
beginning of decline will be seen in the coming year. The Divine justice that is coming upon the
"world" will also be felt in the church to the degree carnality resides in the church. In essence, the
judgment is coming upon carnality. Graciously, the Lord continues to give us space to repent and
intercede before the Throne of Grace.
A voice then spoke saying " come out of her my people that you be not partakers of her sin". And I
heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you may not
participate in her sins and that you may not receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up
as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. (Revelations 18: 4-5)
The people of God must especially deal with unresolved anger and bitterness over the failures of the
past. If we are harboring anger or bitterness for any reason, we must take that to the cross and ask for
the grace to be released from it so our discernment will be clear and unimpeded. If we desire the
Lord’s Mercy we must also be willing to extend Mercy and forgiveness. We will live this year by the
fruit of our own lips.
The Lord intends to resolve the wickedness and carnality that exists in His church. The power that is
being released in the coming year is designed to reveal and address the deeds of the flesh so that
they can be replaced with the fruit of the Spirit.
Lamentations outlines the beginning of captivity for a once powerful and glorious nation. The defenses
of the nation were compromised allowing access by the enemy, eventually overthrowing the
leadership. The prophets of God are regrettably vindicated as a glorious era comes to an end.
This notable Book records the sufferings and the anxieties of Israel, the destruction of the sanctuary,
the cruelty and taunts of the enemies of Israel, especially the Edomites, the disgrace that befell the
king and his nobles, priests and prophets, and that, too, not without their own guilt, the devastation and
ruin of the country-- all this is described, and appeal is made to the mercy of God.
How lonely sits the city That was full of people! She has become like a widow Who was once
great among the nations! She who was a princess among the provinces Has become a
forced laborer! This nation has provided a source of plenty for the entire world, however, she will now
become dependent upon others to support her.
Your prophets have seen for you false and foolish visions; and they have not exposed your
iniquity so as to restore you from captivity, but they have seen for you false and misleading
oracles. (2:14) Instead of our captivity being turned away through repentance and reproval of our sins,
incorrect security resulted from false visions of favor and well-being.
See, O LORD, and look! With whom hast Thou dealt thus? Should women eat their offspring,
the little ones who were born healthy? Should priest and prophet be slain in the sanctuary of
the Lord? (2:20) The willful sponsorship of abortion has come before the Lord as a stench in His
nostrils. The Lord is compassionate and gracious and full of mercy, yet He will not leave the guilty and
unrepentant unpunished.
I have become a laughingstock to all my people, their {mocking} song all the day. (3:14) The
Church has been the object of ridicule and derision but that is soon to change with the release of
God’s Glory illuminating her to shine in gross darkness.
The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassion's never fail.
They are new every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. "The LORD is my portion," says my
soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him."
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.
It is good that he waits silently for the salvation of the LORD. (3:22-26) These are promises for
those that seek him. Moment by moment he gives us His Mercy and Grace. He will be moved to
compassion on behalf of his faithful. Every person will come into a form of captivity this year, either to
the Lord or to Satan.
Let us examine and probe our ways, and let us return to the LORD. We lift up our heart and
hands toward God in heaven; (3:40-41) This is a time for self-examination for all people, including
the Church. Everything revealed that is contrary to His Nature requires repentance and an impartation
of virtue to overcome. We must enter in to the rewards of the "Overcomers".
Because of the sins of her prophets {and} the iniquities of her priests, who have shed in her
midst the blood of the righteous, they wandered, blind, in the streets; they were defiled with
blood so that no one could touch their garments. (4:13-14)
This happened because of the sin of false prophets and the iniquity of the priests who shed the blood
of the just and righteous. This chapter is speaking about the sin of a nation embracing falsehood and
an un-righteous lifestyle. The people gave attention to their sin of self- gratification and refused the
righteous standards established by the Word of God.
Many of the prophets have prophesied from within their own soul and neglected the true word of the
Lord that the people needed to hear. The people responded to the false prophecy because it tickled
itching ears and was what they wanted to hear not what they needed to hear. This is a great atrocity in
the eyes of the Lord today, as in Jeremiah’s day.
THE BRANDING IRON

The Lord then displayed a "Branding Iron" coming from heaven. The branding iron is for the purpose
of placing the seal of God upon those who have allowed the purging and consecrating work of the
Holy Spirit and lamented over the sins of the church and this nation. This Divine Mark is for the
purpose of bearing a clear distinction between those who are wholly His and those who are not.
"You shall also make a plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal,
'Holy to the LORD.' (Exodus 28:36)
And the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, {even} through the midst of
Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the
abominations which are being committed in its midst." (Ezekiel 9:4)
Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and
heard {it,} and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD
and who esteem His name.
"And they will be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, "on the day that I prepare {My} own
possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him."
So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who
serves God and one who does not serve Him. (Malachi 3:16-18)
The Lord has a BOOK of REMEMBRANCE and in it the names are being inscribed of those who
have listened obediently to the Voice of the Spirit in the FEAR OF THE LORD and esteemed His
name as Holy. Their names are being recorded in this book to clearly distinguish between the
righteous and the wicked, clearly displaying those who serve the Lord and those who do not serve
Him.
There are many whose reverence for the Lord consists merely in the meaningless repetition of words
without regard to their meaning. Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their
words and honor Me with their lip service, but they remove their hearts far from me, and their
reverence for me consists of tradition learned {by rote,} Therefore behold, I will once again
deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; and the wisdom of their wise men
shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be concealed." (Isaiah 29:13-
14)
The Lord sees the sincerity of a heart and will distinguish between these by placing His seal of
"HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD" upon those who have served Him in righteousness and obedience.
An angelic host will be sent through the earth marking on the foreheads the seal of God for those who
have groaned and sighed over the abominations being committed in the earth. Especially the
abomination of abortion. The blood of the innocent continues to cry out against this nation and will be
vindicated.
THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY

For the good it will be very good this year, for the bad it will be very bad and for the ugly it will be very
ugly. These amplifications will begin to show the clear distinction between those who belong to the
Lord and those who do not. For the "GOOD" there will be a release of great power even exceeding
the power given to the generation during the 40's & 50's. That is our consolation as we begin this
season of hardship.
THE GOOD
"Thus says the LORD God of Israel, 'Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the
captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place {into} the land of the Chaldeans.
'For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land; and I will
build them up and not overthrow them, and I will plant them and not pluck {them} up.
'And I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I
will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
(Jeremiah 24:5-7)
A new holy canopy is being released in the church as the apostolic anointing and authority will begin
to be revealed with maturity. These will be the good shepherds upon whom the favor of the Lord will
be apparent. It will be the mature restoration of the judges and counselors as at the beginning. The
last few years have provided a season of preparation and purging for the ones being prepared for this
anointing and commissioning.
The coming judges will be apostolic and the counselors will be the prophets.
The foundation of the church consists of the apostles and prophets revealing the chief cornerstone, the
Lord Jesus. The prophets will emerge first revealing the mind of Christ through Godly counsel during
these final days of preparation and release for the apostolic authority. These will appear, anointed
with Holy Spirit power displaying the Lord’s victory over demons, disease and death.
The new canopy will be according to (Isaiah 4:4-6). When the Lord has washed away the filth of
the daughters of Zion, and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of
judgment and the spirit of burning, then the LORD will create over the whole area of Mount
Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming
fire by night; for over all the glory will be a canopy. And there will be a shelter to {give} shade
from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.
The apostolic anointing will function as cloud by day and the prophet will serve as flaming fire by night.
Each of these will provide a canopy of glory over the believers who have been washed and purged by
the "spirit of judgement" and the "spirit of burning". This canopy of glory will provide shade from the
heat of judgement and a refuge and protection from the raging storms of persecution and accusation.
The Lord will be the light of that canopy and His Glory will provide divine insulation.
From the good seed I saw children that were the best of all generations. They are the children of
promise from Romans 9:8 & Galatians 4:28. Children as young as 6 years old were anointed with
awesome power and revelation. Their revelation came directly from the Lord and their prayers went
before Him with unwavering faith. Many of these children will be filled with the Holy Spirit even while in
their mother’s womb. Their prayers even carried more power and authority than their parents.
THE BAD
'But like the bad figs which cannot be eaten due to rottenness-- indeed, thus says the LORD-
- so I will abandon Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials, and the remnant of Jerusalem
who remain in this land, and the ones who dwell in the land of Egypt.
'And I will make them a terror {and an} evil for all the kingdoms of the earth, as a reproach
and a proverb, a taunt and a curse in all places where I shall scatter them. (Jeremiah 24:8-9)
The bad will be the "dragon seed" that will also come to its maturity during this season. The Lord
showed a large egg that has now come to a place of maturity and is going to be hatched. This is an
egg of the dragon revealing the spirit of anti-Christ on a level that this generation has not seen before.
This is actually the seed of Satan.
Judas Iscariot is a perfect type of this seed incarnate in a man. He actually walked with the apostles,
lived among them and even prayed for the sick and cast out demons with an anointing from the Holy
Spirit, yet his heart was filled with betrayal. (Matthew 10:1-8)
We will now begin to see betrayal on a level like we have never known before, even from those we
perceived were among the Christians.
In the vision, the Lord showed the "Dragon's egg" to symbolically portray the birthing of a new release
of power for the spirit of anti-Christ corresponding with the birthing of God's apostolic ministry. The
spirit of anti-Christ will be anti-anointed. It will work in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit attempting to
undermine the purposes of the Father.
This is a religious spirit that operates so close to the genuine Spirit that it would deceive the very
elect, if possible. However, the elect possess a discernment that identifies the control and restriction
of the spirit of anti-Christ opposed to the liberty that exists in Christ. At the heart of the spirit of anti-
Christ resides betrayal.
When the Holy Spirit came to earth on the day of Pentecost in the first century church, the spirit of anti-
Christ was released as well. These two spirits have run concurrently throughout history and are
beginning to come to a maturity that will prepare this generation for the great end-time battle.
The "dragon seed" or spirit of anti-Christ will possess awesome soul power appealing to the mind,
will, and emotions of man rather than to his spirit. The Lord is providing a covering and canopy while
the dragon seed is being uncovered with everything that he possesses openly displayed.
Witchcraft, sorcery and the control spirit motivated through worldly wisdom will emerge with great
maturity and power. In the midst of this portion of the revelation the Holy Spirit said, "Watch
Indonesia".
Apparently, there will be events occurring in Indonesia that will provide insight and discernment
dealing with the emergence of the "dragon seed". Somehow, the coming activities will have spiritual
implication that will give us clarity.
THE UGLY
'And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence upon them until they are destroyed
from the land which I gave to them and their forefathers.'"
(Jeremiah 24:10)
The ugly consist of what we sometimes call "the world". Biblically, it is prophetically symbolized as
Egypt...Those who are outside of the church and do not confess a faith in Christ. Exceedingly ugly
things will begin to occur in the world and on the face of the earth. There will be one emergency after
another coming upon the earth. Major catastrophic disasters will escalate in the earth very shortly.
These will occur as devastating volcanoes and earthquakes. War, famine, and pestilence will
accelerate to new levels with ravaging results.
'And your strength shall be spent uselessly, for your land shall not yield its produce and the
trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.
'If then, you act with hostility against Me and are unwilling to obey Me, I will increase the
plague on you seven times according to your sins.
'And I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which shall bereave you of your
children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.
(Leviticus 26:20-22)
Part of the Lord’s judgement is also the release of the "wild beast" running rampant in our streets. This
oftentimes represents the human spirit unrestrained resulting in crime, riots, civil commotion, and
disturbances of this nature. It will have application to the street violence that is already a national
dilemma.
The spirit of "panic" will attack the minds of men with such power that their hearts will fail them for fear.
Panic will even attempt to come upon the "Good" in order to try their faith. Those who are cloaked in a
canopy of glory will defeat the spirit of panic in their lives. Others who do not will see the power of
panic on a new level heretofore unseen.
The spirit of panic will also come upon the "Bad and the Ugly" mandating that they change or perish.
The power of death will now be given to the spirit of panic with greatly increased authority. Natural
medical remedies that have been prescribed for panic will no longer have the effect and consolation
as before. This is a spirit and must be dealt with spiritually.
An especially disheartening portion of the revelations dealt with the bad seed. The Lord revealed that
apart from His provision of grace, even the very young among the bad seed will begin to experience
sin with incredible depravity. Incredibly, young 9,10, and 11 year old children will begin to experience
homosexuality, thievery, lying, and perversion on a scale not yet seen before. These will seemingly
have no conscience of guilt or shame even killing and torturing others without remorse.
Many will engage in these abominations simply for the pleasure of it. Numerous of these crimes will
also go unreported to the legal authorities because of the unwillingness of the general public to get
involved in the protection and welfare of their own communities.
PSALM 99
The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned {above} the cherubim, let the
earth shake! (Psalm 99:1)
The good will tremble at the word of God and the bad will shake for fear. The ugly will quake and twist
and belch as the earth shakes and spews its fury.
The Lord reigns as the victorious King and great overcomer sitting on His Father’s Throne having
ultimate authority. The Lord will rule over his kingdom and the government of God coming to the Earth.
The LORD is great in Zion, and He is exalted above all the peoples. (Psalm 99:2)
Zion denotes a "Parched Place" and the place of worship denoting God’s rulership and Kingship. From
within the Church one out of a thousand will emerge in maturity as the Lord’s temple, gifted with
discernment and with understanding. These will be given insight with understanding manifesting divine
wisdom from the sevenfold Spirit of God, as did Daniel . (Daniel 9:22)
"If there is an angel {as} mediator for him, One out of a thousand, to remind a man what is right for
him, Then let him be gracious to him, and say, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a
ransom' (Job 33:23-24)
The discernment from these consecrated ones will be according to the Spirit; not natural human
discernment that has its root in suspicion. These will not judge by what their eyes see nor by what their
ears hear, but according to what the Spirit reveals.
The Lord stated "What was stolen from us must be restored to us". The true anointed revelation of
visions and dreams with proper interpretation and application giving insight to the body of Christ must be
totally restored. The Lord is going to reveal Himself as a consuming fire purging from us the sinful nature
and the impurities of corruption leaving only the gold, silver and precious stones of the divine nature.
Those who will allow this spirit of burning to accomplish this task in their lives will receive the
empowering of the true prophetic mantle according to Daniel 1:17. The Lord is highly exalted above all of
our trouble and worries. He has made the earth His footstool as He sits enthroned above the cherubim.
Let them praise Thy great and awesome name; Holy is He. (Psalms 99:3)
The Lord is holy and those who worship Him must do so arrayed in holiness.
For this purpose the Lord is releasing to us divinely granted repentance leading to the knowledge of the
truth sanctifying us as the habitation of His Spirit.
And the strength of the King loves justice; Thou hast established equity; Thou hast executed justice and
righteousness in Jacob. (Psalms 99:4)
"And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level; then hail shall sweep away the
refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the secret place. (Isaiah 28:17)
As the cornerstone stands most perpendicular and exactly proportioned, so the Lord, while holding out
grace to believers in the Foundation stone, will judge the scoffers (Isa. 28:15) according to the exact
justice of the law. As promised, the Lord is going to deal with the doctrinal error that has been taught as
truth in the church. The Lord by His Spirit is going to declare His "Perfect Word". Righteousness and
Justice, the very foundation of His Throne, will be the result.
Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His footstool; Holy is He. (PSALM 99:5)
The Lord is going to release high praise according to (Psalm 149:6 & Revelations 1:16). The high praises
are coming to bring the presence of the Lord with a two edged sword in His hand. With it, blessing and
judgement will simultaneously result through His divine justice.
Moses and Aaron were among His priests, and Samuel was among those who called on His name; they
called upon the LORD, and He answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them.
(PSALM 99:6-7)
In previous years we have mentioned the preparation and emergence of the inspired priesthood to
provide the Rhema word of God for this season. That order is now coming to a place of maturity and will
begin to encounter the Lord in the pillar of cloud receiving the true revelation of the Word and its
application for this generation. The inspired priests will provide a sanctifying Light that will prepare the
body in righteousness. Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances.
There is coming the revelation of God’s Truth and His Word to such a degree that the whole world will
take notice as the Lord’s priests present the Spoken Word in due season.
The apostolic leadership emerging will provide a pillar of cloud over the body illuminating the hidden
manna for this day. The prophets will be as a flame of fire at night displaying awesome power and
miracles. The entirety of this ministry must find its origin in Romans 13;10. "Love does no wrong to a
neighbor; love therefore is the fulfillment of the law". This emerging ministry of the apostles and
prophets must display divine love born in the heart of the Father. God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten son.
Moses is best known in his role as Prophet, Aaron as Priest and Samuel as Judge. These three represent
the Priest/Prophet/Judge anointings that will be entrusted to this emerging leadership. To each of these
three, God proved Himself in Mercy and in Judgement.
The coming apostolic ministers will be as pillar of cloud by day and the anointed prophet will be as a pillar
of fire by night. Each will provide a canopy of protection through the Holy Spirit even as Israel was
protected during the judgements of Egypt. The shelter of Goshen will become apparent in the coming
season. This year will actually see the beginning of the captivity for Egypt and the plainly defined
provision for God’s people.
The Lord will allow nothing to come upon the earth unless He first reveals His secret counsel to His
servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). Moses, Aaron and Samuel each represent types of the coming
government. The manner in which the Lord used these men will also portray the coming leadership and
God’s dealings with them. He is going to give divinely granted understanding. The scriptures declare that
the breadth of God gives understanding. He is going to breathe upon us to give understanding of these
times and the things that we must do to survive and even prosper during this season of judgement.
The obedient church that has hearkened to the voice of the Lord over the past few years will first go into
the Lord’s provided place. This will be an arena of refuge, protection, and provision. It will also be a place
of intimate fellowship and communion with Him as Friend.
O LORD our God, Thou didst answer them; Thou wast a forgiving God to them, and {yet} an avenger of
their {evil} deeds. (PSALM 99:8)
We must allow the word of the Lord to cleanse us (John 15:2). We will eat the fruit of our mouths whether
good, bad or ugly... that which we speak will dictate our course. If we continue to curse the earth it will
continue to bring forth terrible fruit. Out of the abundance of our hearts the mouth will speak. Therefore,
our hearts should be filled with the Rhema Word of God. The earth is going to see both the kindness and
severity of God. For those who are willing to come to Him through divinely granted repentance according
to the prescribed order of the Spirit, then abundant mercy will be provided. However, for those with
hardness of heart that refuse the spirit of burning and close their ears to the voice of the Spirit, these will
understand that the Lord is an avenger of evil deeds.
Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy hill; for holy is the LORD our God. (PSALM 99:9)
Three nines representing the nine fruit of the Spirit, the nine gifts of the Spirit and the nine months of
birth for the apostolic order. With the birthing of this apostolic commission will also come the high praises
emerging from the "breath of God" giving understanding. As we see the terrible times occurring around
us we will also clearly observe the Lord’s canopy of grace protecting us. The natural result will be a heart
filled with praise and worship for all that He has wrought in our behalf.
The scriptures declare that Mary believed the Word that was spoken to her and the Holy Spirit
overshadowed her in an illuminated cloud imparting the Word within her. The Word became flesh and
dwelt among us. This same sequence will occur among the apostolic order that will be soon emerging. We
have known for the past three years that the apostolic order would be soon emerging. Those were
preparation years cultivating faith, maturity and obedience.
JUST AS I AM
Just as I am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
Just am I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
The Lord has given a song for this year. It is JUST AS I AM. All that we have to do is come to the Him
just as we are, humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God seeking the mercy of the Lamb
emerging with the virtue of the Lion. We must put no confidence in the flesh and rely solely upon His
Spirit to mold and change us into HIS image. To do so, we come just as we are having nothing to offer
except a willing heart.
Each morning we should begin our day coming to the Lamb singing "Just As I Am" asking for the
release of His life changing virtue. As we surrender our weakness we will be surrounded in His
strength. By yielding to Him in our deficiency, it will break the chains of pride and self sufficiency
allowing the release of "Life-Giving Spirit".
Hebrews 11 portrays the Lord’s champions who "From weakness were made strong and became
mighty in war."

S. S. Euphoria
Steve Morris
Email: swmorris@herald.infi.net
I saw a tramp steamer on the high seas running haphazardly and without a pre-determined destination. The name of the
steamer was S. S. Euphoria.
Then I saw that it had blundered into the midst of a well-organized naval flotilla which was proceeding at top speed on a
set course towards a huge black, war cloud on the horizon. The people on the naval ships began to shout through high-
powered megaphones and warned the steamer to get out of the area, as they were in danger. Then helicopters flew over
the steamer and they also used megaphones and dropped leaflets to warn them to get out of the war zone.
However, there was no one at the helm on the steamer and the sound of music coming from it was deafening. The people
on the steamer were so drunk and busy partying they could not comprehend what was happening. Suddenly, the
steamer exploded violently. Debris flew everywhere. An enemy missile had destroyed them.
This brought a new concern to the leaders of the naval flotilla—should they stop and look for survivors? After a quick
assessment of the situation the persons in charge made the difficult decision to remain at top speed and on course in
order to continue to pursue the enemy.
They continued to approach the enemy war cloud at top speed. Then the vision ended.
Interpretation
A tramp steamer is a freight ship with no regular schedule, picking up cargo and passengers wherever it may be. The
high seas indicate the world. Euphoria is an excessive feeling of well-being or happiness. S. S stands for salvation
saints. This steamer without a course blundered onto a fast moving flotilla with a clear cut goal, purpose and direction,
i.e., to engage an enemy seen on the horizon.
The flotilla personnel realized the steamer had inadvertently placed itself in a war zone and made every attempt to
communicate to them their danger and the necessity of removing themselves from the war zone.
The steamer personnel, however, were totally oblivious as to what was happening to them and they were dedicated to
pleasing themselves with a party time atmosphere. Their ignorance caused their own destruction by the enemy. Because
of the urgency of the time the flotilla personnel had to make a difficult decision to stay in pursuit of the enemy.
Application
We are now entering into a time of almost total warfare with the enemy of our soul. Without being in tune and in touch
with God's Holy Spirit, we will drift aimlessly and meaninglessly onto the seas of the world.
The time of seeking for euphoria is over. As true salvation saints we must — simply must — enlist ourselves into God's
military forces. The naval flotilla is representative of spiritual warfare and intercession. It's clear from the vision that God
wants us to be highly organized, powerful and directional. When we see our brothers and sisters wandering about without
awareness of the significance of the spiritual times we must warn them. With our personal prayers (helicopter) and in our
personal conversations (megaphones) and public writings to them (leaflets). This is not an option. Failure to warn them
may result in their immediate and sudden destruction. This is particularly important for those of you called to be
watchmen. The warnings of Ezekiel 3:17-21 and 33:1-20 apply here.
Understand, also, that God will continue to sovereignly send times of euphoria upon certain individuals and groups. The
distinction to be made is that we are not to continue to seek after such experiences. Whether you have or have not had
such an experience, shift your spirit into warfare mode. If God sovereignly moves on you for a specific experience, He
has His reasons. If not, warfare is the mode. God has released a spirit of prophetic warfare among His people. We must
grasp it by faith. And we must speak the words He gives us and they shall become a reality in the spiritual realm and
accomplish that which they have been sent out to do. We must believe this by faith. And having spoken all that He has
given us we are to stand. And we are to know, by faith, that His heavenly flotilla is accomplishing that which we have
spoken that is of Him.

The Secret Sin,

Jim Rapalje
I sense to relay a vision I had in May of 1997. ( I have only had three visions in my life.) I believe that it may have some
consequence for the body of Christ .
I was up at 5 in the morning praying and seeking the Lord. There were a lot of " crazy " spiritual things going on with me
during this period of time. As I was waiting on the Lord, a vision occurred to me, which I could see as well as one sees a
movie. This was not some "thing" of the mind, that was "sensed." I actually saw it.
I saw an attractive black lady stand before me. She had a rose colored dress on and had hair that had been straightened
and was fixed up nice. She looked to be fairly well off and carried herself confidently. Next thing, " a man "dressed in
flowing, sparkling white garb walked up to her and knocked on her heart with His hand. She said yes, come in, and He
then proceeded to walk into her and the scene became Him walking through a beautiful temple. The temple reminded me
of one of those houses we use to see on Miami Vice, one that was worth millions and millions of dollars, and can be
seen in Miami Beach if you are rich enough to be allowed into the residential complex. He walked slowly and
purposefully throughout the temple from floor to floor of which there were three. It was as if He was letting me see how
wonderful and jewel like this place was. It literally sparkled. Everything in there was beyond price, and everything was
perfectly placed and nothing was out of place. He then proceeded down the stairs to the basement floor, which was
below the three floors above. It seemed like that it took forever to get to where He was heading. I watched Him as He
walked slowly down a long hallway ( and this cellar was as lavish as most of our homes are, by the way ) and finally
came to a room at the extreme end of the temple. He stood at the door and knocked lightly upon the door. No one
answered. He knocked harder, and still no answer. Finally He threw open the door without any effort at all, and there
inside was the most dark, dirty, filthy, smelly room that one could ever envision. The walls were full of feces and I could
actually smell the stink in the vision. I was appalled and turned away. But, then as I turned, I caught out of my peripheral
vision a figure far back against the wall of the darkened room, and I stopped to look. In the back of the terrible room was
a hairy like creature, cowardly crouching as if to delay what was to happen. The strong, sparkling " man " reached out
His right hand and grabbed the creature by the throat and dragged him out to the hallway, without even taking a step into
the filthy room. The " man " then proceeded to wrap a scarlet cord around the entire body of the creature who gave no
resistance at all. The He took the creature by the hair of his head and dragged it down the hallway to the extreme other
end of the hall. At that end was a balcony and He dragged the creature out onto the balcony and picked it up as if it
weighed nothing, as the " man" appeared to be super - human . He then tossed the creature into outer space into a black
hole. He turned around, and just grinned a satisfied smile and started back down the hallway and we ended up at the
entrance to the filthy, foul smelling room.
At this point, the tears started to flow from my eyes, even as they do now, as I again relate the vision. The " man " (
Jesus, of course ) produced a scrub brush out of thin air, and then stepped into the room and got down on His hands and
knees, and started to scrub the room down. As He scrubbed the walls, floor and ceiling, the room seemed to fade into
white and merged into one with Him. Soon I could not see the room, I could only see Him.
He then seemed to look at me and seemed to speak to me, and said, " My people are burdened down with a secret sin
that they keep in a room, deep within their otherwise beautiful temples. They cherish this secret sin, and make no effort
to rid themselves of it. As a matter of fact they protect it, from me, and from the reality of what it has done to them. They
love their sin, sometimes as much as they say they love Me. I don't condemn them, I have pity upon them. If only they
would believe that I have delivered them of sin, even their secret sin, they could live lives much more bountiful and
enduring. If only they would ask Me, I would come in and toss out the demon that prevails upon them, and that creature
will never be heard of again. I will throw that creature into the nether world where no creature wants to go. If only My
people would ask !
I came to myself, and later that evening, I was called by a pastor in Dallas, Texas asking if I would come to their church
the next day to pray for healing for their son in law who suffered from malignant melanoma, and was soon to die. This
was almost an impossible task both literally and financially, to perform. God worked it out and I flew into Dallas the next
day and walked into the morning service of an inner city, inter-racial church where hundreds were praising the Lord. (
Mother's Day by the way .) No sooner than I started to walk down the aisle to greet a pastor that I had never even met,
my eyes over flowed with tears. As I finished hugging the pastor sitting in the front row, I looked up into the choir, and
there standing, as real as can possibly be, was the lady that I had envisioned the morning before. I said, " Lord ! What
am I to do ? " He said, " Relate your vision, just as you saw it." A few minutes later I was on the stage, and Holy Spirit
moved wondrously as I related what I had seen the day before. At least 100 people flooded the altar amidst moaning’s
and groaning’s, wailing’s and loud crying of all the people in the auditorium, when urged to come forward as a sign of faith
that they desired to be rid of their " secret sin." The black lady in my vision never came forward .
May the Lord bless your reading of this vision that it may convict the reader of any hidden sin that one has refused to
really deal with in the past. It is only a matter of truly calling the "man, " Jesus Christ to come into your temple and cast
out that creature that has encamped in the deepest recesses of your heart. The question is, do you REALLY want to be
rid of that sin? The second question is, are you too going to be like the lady, and not respond to His calling ?
Be blessed,
Jim Rapalje / Hebrews 4:3,12

Stand Together
Cory Bakker
Aug.26/98
Stand together My chosen people for the time is now. I tell you to join the hand of the one beside you and stand. I have
positioned as many as would head to My calls, to the voices of my Prophets who have spoken in seasons passed.
The time of preparation is now over My people, and you who have been called are ready to go forth and win this battle.
The anointing you have been seeking Me for is now poured out upon you. The oil is running down the head and will drip
from the child who is the hand, to the child who is the foot. The prayers and the tears have reached their destiny...
I am answering now. Many of you still weep, and cry the tears of heaven, but listen closely with your heart. For these
tears that were once tears of sorrow have turned into tears of intense joy, of a longing now fulfilled! A thirst now
quenched. Listen to My heart children. For the tears you now cry in My Presence, pour forth from My heart as I stand
with you in the Love of the brethren that has never before been manifested on the earth as it will now. This is the
anointing that my Spirit has caused you to seek, the anointing that will break every yoke, that will set the captives free.
This is the anointing of love, and when you enter in you will know that this has been My desire since the dawn of
creation. So join the hand of the one on your left, and join the hand of the one on your right and receive of Me this
everlasting gift that you have sought from the depths of your hearts with groans and cries that words could not express.
Walk through this door, walk through together, and know that you will endure through this anointing.
For this is a corporate grace I have given, to My chosen, and to My faithful. You will seek Me together, and find me
together and Glorify me together, this accomplishing the Fathers will. You have heard Me in your closets, and you have
heard me in your bed, but now you will hear Me in the places of gathering, in the places of meeting and I will be one voice
to you all. A voice of instruction, a voice of command, and a voice of terror and disaster upon your enemies. My chosen
people come forth, rise up and walk forward together In Me. Your armors have been made ready. And My glory has gone
before you.

Standing On The Rock Christ Jesus

Thomas S. Gibson
For you see in this time of great redemption by the Blood of the Lamb, there is judgment, and shall be judgment.
But look to yourselves, not by your own fleshly eye, but by the spiritual eye, to do this: spend time in My Word, and
spend time in prayer, and spend time allowing Me to take My Spirit and show you what needs to be changed. As you
spend this time with Me in prayer, in fasting, and in time, in spiritual time, in strong spiritual time alone with Me, says the
Lord; as you do these things, you will see that I will show you what needs to be done to grow closer to Me. And as grow
closer to Me, you'll grow stronger in Me. As you grow stronger, you'll see more things that need to be changed. And as
you change more things, you'll grow much closer to Me. And on it goes, till I bring you into an era of spiritual revelation
you did not even know could exist on this planet. Yet I shall do it. And many shall walk in it.
Understand this time, and be part of this time. For this is the end times. And I am bringing about a move of My people by
bringing them into a close relationship with Me, that they will stand, that they will stand and know that God is God, and
He upholds them under all circumstances.
For great judgment is coming. And as it comes, you must stand on the Word. For if you put your faith in the things of
man, you shall fall. But if you stand on the Word of God, and on the righteousness that He has provided to the Blood of
Jesus, then you shall go on. And the things of the world may fall around you, but you shall go on. It shall not affect you.
For you are standing on the Rock Christ Jesus, and not on the world.

Stanley Steamer
Vision given to Stephen Morris 4/29/98
Revelation
I began to see an automobile. As the picture began to fill in, I got the words "Stanley Steamer." As I continued to watch,
the car slowly evolved and resembled an old 1900 model car. I saw that it had an open top, and there was a chauffeur
seated at the wheel. He had on a cap, goggles and a type of pullover protective suit. The suit appeared to be shiny, and
sort of a grayish white. He sat and appeared to be waiting patiently. I became aware of the fact that the car was parked
under a tree that had a lot of branches and leaves.
Then I began to see in the not to far distance, towards my left in the picture, a large parking lot, easily identified as such
by the new black asphalt and white lines. I then saw the cars parked there. All newer models (newer than the Stanley
Steamer) and many different colors, some bright, some subdued, all sizes and shapes.
Then I saw an office building in the background. It was several stories tall, and one wall had a red brick face, with white
mortar. Another wall was of tempered glass.
As I watched the scene, I got the words 4:59. I immediately knew that meant 4:59 p.m. and was seconds away from
being 5:00 p.m.
Then I saw people streaming out the building, heading towards the parking lot, getting into their cars and driving rapidly
away.
Then the last car was gone, and the picture shifted to my right and I saw again the Stanley Steamer and the chauffeur.
Then night began to fall, the picture, got darker and I could still see the old car and driver sitting there.
Then the sun started to come up and I again saw the old car and driver still sitting there. I could see the empty parking
lot and the building behind it. Then the lot began to fill up with cars, and people got out of the cars and headed towards
the building. The old car and driver still sat there, very patiently waiting.
Again, 5:00 p.m. came and the same scene as before repeated itself. People came out and got in their cars and drove
off. The old car and driver still sat there. It became night, then the sun came up and the cars filled the empty parking lot.
The sequence continued to repeat itself and accelerated rapidly. I could still see the Stanley Steamer and the chauffeur
sitting patiently.
Then the vision faded out.
Interpretation
The Stanley's built their first steam-powered car in 1897. Steam cars could accelerate faster than gasoline-powered cars.
A specially equipped Stanley was clocked at 127 miles per hour in 1906.
The top speed in a Steamer was limited only by the driver's experience and skill. Steamers were very popular until
Cadillac introduced the self-starting automobile, which could then instantly be driven, whereas the steamers required a
time to warm up. Their popularity declined to a point that they were no longer manufactured.
The Steamer I saw is a type of God's revelation power (open top). It accelerates faster and is limited in speed (power)
only by the driver (the Spirit-filled believer). The chauffeur represents the Spirit-filled believer, with the mind of Christ (cap),
and prophetic vision (goggles). The pullover protective suit speaks of our humanity (as containing the Holy Spirit). The
tree with branches and leaves emphasizes the healing authority of the body of Christ. The black asphalt of the parking lot
is the world system. The white lines indicate the delineation of areas of purity to be found in the world. The different cars
are the ministries of the individual saints. The office building is the church, individual red bricks (clay, covered with the
blood of Jesus) cemented together with and by the holiness and purity of the Holy Spirit of God. And with a wall of
tempered glass in which to view the things of the world. This wall represents the prophetic people of God that are in the
church.
4:59 p.m. is Ezekiel 45:9: "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil,
and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord God." 4:59 p.m. (Ezekiel
45:9) must come before 5:00 p.m. (the year of Jubilee). This is a requisite before we enter, individually, into the year of
Jubilee.
When that time comes for us, many will head back into their old ministries (cars) and continue to repeat the cycle of life,
repetitiously.
What we fail to see, however, is that the new ministry for the prophetic and the healing anointings to fully accelerate and
have unlimited power (speed) we must return, what to us, seems to be an old outdated vehicle of ministry, powerfully
anointed by God. We can continue with our "self- started" ministries or we can choose to be warmed up by God and
move out in His speed and His power.
In Israel, it is harvest time between roughly the middle of March and the middle of September. 1998 is also the year of
Jubilee, to commence next month in May.
If we want the "double portion" ministry that God has for us in the prophetic and healing arenas of God's very soon
coming accelerated and unlimited outpouring of a new dispensation of His power, we must change "vehicles." Or we can
watch, day by day, as His power sits idly by, prepared and patient.
Application
The next move of God is going to be an unrecognized spiritual vehicle, with a potential for individual saints of great
acceleration and power in their ministries. The prophetic and healing ministries will operate in much greater power and
anointing than previously experienced in this century. We will return to the days of the raw power of God being
demonstrated in his prophets and by His healings.
With the mind of Christ, and renewed prophetic vision and a desire to drive, by faith, a prophetic vehicle of great
acceleration and power, we shall go forward in the natural to the spiritual climate of the past, and see the dead raised,
the sun standing still for a day, the axe head floating, poisonous foods being made healthy, sun dials going forward,
mass conversions, shadow healings, walking on water, and the raised Jesus drawing all men unto Him.
This requires only one thing: that we stop being self-starters and let God warm us up by the intimacy of His presence to
a boiling point that will release the spiritual "steam" of His Holy Spirit power within us.
Selah.
Pause and calmly think of that!

It STILL Can Be Done!

AD2000 & Beyond Movement
This Article first appeared in Mission Frontiers Magazine May/June 1998 and is reprinted through their courtesy.
Thirty-five functional leaders and founders of the AD2000 and Beyond Movement met in Colorado Springs from
May 12-14 to assess progress and discuss the next two and a half years of the movement. In the first session, C.
Peter Wagner, director of the AD2000 Prayer Track, asked a spontaneous question, which set the tone for the
entire three days.
"With thirty-one months to go, do we still have faith that that there will be 'a church for every people and the gospel
for every person by the year 2000'? And if we believe it, what are the indicators that give us that faith?"
After a momentary pause, several leaders answered a rapid and enthusiastic "Yes!" with many reports to give
substance to the hope that, as God gave the vision, He is also bringing it to fruition. But others added that it will
happen only as the whole Body of Christ becomes obedient to the task.
As the leaders assessed the rapid progress of the gospel since the inception of AD2000 & Beyond, both on an
individual and peoples level, they could easily see that through God all things truly are possible. Excitement built as
they presented current assessment of the twin objectives, in many cases ahead of anticipated goalposts for 1998,
and developed plans for the final phase leading to the year 2000.
Using the results of a year-long survey by the AD2000 and Beyond Movement International Office, the group
focused on the remaining peoples still lacking a church planting team in their midst. A small coalition of leaders
presented and worked on a new plan to encourage frontier church planting by agencies already working nearby, and
if necessary, to provide seed money from their own organizations to launch the new teams. Another group revealed
a plan to assess the status of "the gospel for every person" using a web-based information-gathering site to be
named "World Harvest Information Systems."
Both of these assessments will be complete in time for the worldwide gathering in Jerusalem at the end of the year
2000. As the updated status is presented as a mosaic, the remaining task will stand out clearly for addressing in the
next century. While the movement has focused on the peoples greater than 10,000 in population through Joshua
Project 2000, future efforts will include smaller groups as well.
Repeatedly, the necessity of prayer emerged as a major theme, from the movement's beginning and into the future.
Michael Little (Christian Broadcasting Network) and Vonette Bright (Campus Crusade for Christ) are leading the
effort for Praying Through the Window IV, a global prayer initiative in 1999 to focus on the 62 nations of the 10/40
window.* In addition to the "Prayer Calendar" which has guided each event, participants may also obtain detailed
information in a book and CD/ROM combination which will describe the 3,000 "Strategic Towns" throughout the
region. The previous Praying Through the Windows, held in 1993, 1995, and 1997, have each mobilized 20 to 30
million participants to pray for the needs of the 10/40 window. This has opened up territories to the gospel in ways
that would have been unimagined just a dozen years ago: new governments, technology which cannot be "stopped at
the borders," and new missionaries from unexpected sources.
John Robb of World Vision presented an initiative, Joshua Harvest: All Peoples All Persons, which will focus on all
remaining unreached peoples and is expected to flow into the next century. While it will be built on the foundation of
AD2000, participants agreed to the "term limit" of the original AD2000 constitution, and are waiting upon God to
raise up new leadership to champion its vision. Ron Rowland of SIL provided an overview of the database to
support this initiative.
Eric Watt of Christian Broadcasting Network spoke of his organization's shift to focus its effort and its budget on the
10/40 window with a new emphasis on partnership.
"Celebrate Messiah 2000" will be the vision watchword for the AD2000 and Beyond Movement as it completes its
prescribed circuit. Originally seen as a single event scheduled for the Holy Land at the culmination of the millenium, it
is now mushrooming into a series of events and initiatives in various countries, with concurrent events perhaps linked
by satellite. The event itself, with the proposed subtitle "Third Millennial Launch, From Jerusalem to the Uttermost"
invites world Christians to gather in Jerusalem for reconciliation, worship, strategic assessment, and a call to prayer,
consecration and commissioning for mission in the next century.
Surprisingly, the primary roadblocks to world evangelization discussed at the meeting were not seen to lie primarily
in numbers of missionaries, supplies, finances, or methods. Everyone agreed that, as was revealed in many ways,
God is able to work in astounding ways "on His own," in response to united prayer. He is fully capable of revealing
Himself to all in an instant. But, according to John 17, God considers it a necessity for the Whole Body of Christ to
develop His heart for the nations before He will complete the entire task. He brings tremendous power to any willing
to "just show up to do the job." The primary roadblocks to world evangelization were cited as being disinterest, self-
absorption, and lukewarmness within the Body of Christ in the West. As Lorry Lutz, AD2000 Women's Track
Director said "America has lots of money, but where is the vision for the lost?"
Nevertheless several attendees told stories of the hardships new brethren in the 10/40 window are willing to endure
in order to spread the gospel, others spoke of special abilities of those often overlooked. "God is raising an army of
nameless people," said participant Jureg Opprecht from Switzerland. South African, Brother Daniel, leader of the
Poor and Needy Track, spoke of the success of the extreme poor as missionaries, while Salvadoran Mercedes
Dalton of the Women's Track emphasized the gifting of women. Eric Watt, of CBN called them the "new
wineskins." Watt concluded his remarks "Are we going to be a part of what God is going to do over the next 2
years. Not whether it will happen, but can we flex and change so as to participate?"
The AD2000 and Beyond Movement idea began in 1989 in the heart of Thomas Wang, then the International
Chairman of the Lausanne Committee. He perceived that, as God had led many organizations to target the year
2000 for their ministry goals, He was calling Christians to work together, rather than independently, to achieve them.
Today hundreds of AD2000-affiliated networks, with various foci, are operating in countries and internationally to
bring strategic cooperation, direction, and energy to frontier mission efforts.
As Peter Wagner exclaimed, "The Book of Acts was a pilot project for what God would do through AD2000.
What God is going to do in the future will make AD2000 look like a pilot project!"
*The 10/40 window is an imaginary frame stretching between 10 degrees and 40 degrees north of the equator in the
Eastern Hemisphere. This area is home to the greatest concentration of the world's most spiritually and physically
needy people.

The Storm
Chris Christensen
The Lord gave me early this morning prior to Sunday service, 5/31/98
Chris Christensen
I am sending a storm, says the Lord. There will be violent winds, unrelenting and heavy rain, loud and long explosions of
thunder, blinding flashes of lightening, and ordained moments of complete silence. I have told you to get ready, yet many
of you have not listened. And now the storm begins.
I have warned of the destructive power of my wind, says the Lord. Everything not rooted and grounded in me will be
removed from its place by the wind of my Spirit. I will strip away people and programs that stand in my way. And I will
remove everything that divides you from the rest of my body, says the Lord.
Those of you rooted and abiding in me have already turned your faces into my wind, says the Lord. I am causing my wind
to blow away those things that would come upon you to distract you from my plan for you. I will divert the attacks of the
enemy, and those things he would use to assault you will blow away as the unseen dust in the air, says the Lord. Turn
away from your own plans and face into the wind while there is still time.
I will also rain my Spirit down on all the earth, says the Lord. For some it will be an unprecedented season of cleansing
and refreshing. For those who resist me the rain will be chilling and destructive. For as with my Word, every move I make
is as a double-edged sword. My servants I separate unto me...my enemy I separate away from me. Come out in to the
rain and be refreshed, says the Lord.
I will announce my presence in the earth with shouts of thunder, says the Lord. For the whole earth will see my Glory as
I crush my enemies beneath my feet. I control the times and seasons. I control the economies. I control the finances. I
am the ultimate authority. I give and I take away. And I will entrust the wealth of the wicked to my servants, says the
Lord.
For the time is coming soon when the world will see my supernatural hand of provision for my people. In time of great
need many will seek you out for the provision you have. Some will come in a Spirit of repentance and
reconciliation...others will come with hatred and violence to forcibly seize what you have. Listen for my thunder and stand
firm on my Word of truth, even as many fall around you on all sides. For I will never leave you nor forsake you, says the
Lord. Hold on to this truth during the perilous times which will soon be upon you.
I will send lightening to bring light to the dark places, expose the enemy and render him blind, says the Lord. For as my
light gets brighter in the earth, so also will the darkness become harder to penetrate. I will send you into the dark places
to bring light and lead the captives to freedom. For it is the light of my countenance upon you that will cause the world to
take notice of you. Many will seek me out because of the radiance of my Spirit on you. Many also will seek your
destruction because of their hatred of me. Fear not for I will always be with you. You are my chosen ones, says the Lord.
I will also call you away to the quiet places alone with me, says the Lord. There we will talk and share and be together. I
have many things to tell you that you will need to know. It is when we are alone together that you become more like me.
In my presence is fullness of joy. In my presence is perfect peace. In my presence is rest and refreshing. In my presence
is healing. And only in my presence are you remolded and reshaped to become a vessel of my own choosing...a vessel
of honor.
Get excited for the storm is here. Understand that what is happening in the natural is a reflection of what I am doing in
the Spirit. I am separating my servants from the world. Let him who has ears hear what I am saying by my Spirit, says
the Lord.

Re The Storm
Doug White
Hello Pastor Chris and New Wine people,
My name is Pastor Doug White and I pastor a church in Zeeland, Michigan.
I am writing because we had an unusual Sunday today. As probably many of you have heard we had a major storm rip
through the Western part of Michigan. The Lord woke me up about 5 AM and I was ready to put the finishing touches on
my sermon for that morning. Things seemed a bit stormy and I turned on the TV to check out the weather. Radar showed
a massive storm front just hitting the shoreline of Western Michigan from Lake Michigan.
To make a long story short, in the next few minutes the power went out and so I sat in the dark for a period of time and
prayed. I kept having the feeling to cancel the services that morning but It being Pentecost Sunday there was just no way
that I wanted to do that. As it turned out I got a call from my associate pastor and he told me that I probably should shut
things down. Next thing I know I get a call from a pastor friend who happens to head up the Zeeland Ministerial
Association. He told me that the city had requested that all churches should not hold any services that morning because
of the storm damage. We complied with this request.
Later, I felt that the storm was prophetic in nature. The Wednesday afternoon before I had been in prayer with 7 other
local pastors as we usually do every Wednesday. That day in prayer they had asked the Lord to send His wind and fire
to sweep across our churches that Sunday. They were very sincere in their prayers. I feel the Lord answered us but not
in a way that we would have imagined.
Today I got the following Word off of the New Wine List. It really touched me. I was just wondering if anyone out there has
anything that they feel the Lord would have them share concerning what I have written.
I will not share more than this now but will after I hear what else the Lord might have to show us about this event.
Shalom.

The 'Asian' Storm...

Reuben Seevaratnam
Greetings Pastor Doug, the New Wine flock, and Pastor Chris, in the wonderful name of Jesus.
My name is Reuben, and I'm a minister at a church in Penang, an island-state of West Malaysia (between Thailand and
Singapore), which is predominantly Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, and Moslem, in population.
What I have just read by both Pastor Chris and Doug about 'The Storm', has totally amazed me, because on the early
hours of Sunday, May 31, just after midnight, there was thunder and lightning over this island that has not been heard for
a long, long time, if ever. It was so loud, that many were talking about it the next morning in Church, especially since we
have been having a drought for the last few months.
This natural phenomena, occurring at both ends of the globe on the same date, within the same period of late night/early
morning, is truly unique. As many of you may have seen and heard in the international news, is that there is a drought
over Malaysia, and every religion is praying for rain, and for it to fall in the reservoirs and dams. So, this makes the storm
all the more spectacular, especially after reading the word given by Pastor Chris, given all the economic instability in
Asia, including the recent political violence in Indonesia, which is a half hour flight from Penang.
Due to the Asian economic crisis, and the recent violence and looting in Indonesia, Christians are mounting up in prayer
throughout this region, especially in Malaysia and Singapore. As Pastor Chris ended his word by commenting that "what
is happening in the natural is a reflection of what I am doing in the Spirit", has truly been reflected by the storm, and also
by the movie 'Titanic', which couldn't have been released at a more significant time economically and politically,
especially in Asia, which has claimed many economic victims who thought their economy was unsinkable.
Though races and cultures may be very different, we preach the same gospel, and face the same enemy. God is truly
shaking all that can be shaken. Please continue to intercede for this region, especially for Indonesia, and her neighbours
Singapore, Malaysia (the island of Penang), and Thailand.
Thank you Pastor Chris, for the word in season.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Rev.2:7a
Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. Hab. 2:2
Your brother,
Reuben
A Word on the Storm

by Karen Peterson
Dear Pastor Chris,
My husband is a pastor also. Christian Greetings from Minnesota!
I received from an e-mail friend, Kathy Thill, the prophetic word which started "I am sending a storm...." today. It was, to
me, the remainder of a paragraph the Lord had started to me not too long ago.
I was in our living room one afternoon about 2 weeks ago, when a fierce thunderstorm started. I knew the skies were
tornadic, and so was listening to the radio. But this is not so very unusual. I was in downtown Minneapolis when 6
tornadoes hit, in the late 70's, or perhaps it was the early 80's. Anyway, I have seen these kinds of skies before, and we
have had fierce storms before. But this was different.
Something hit me in my spirit, and I began to weep. It was like a shudder in my spirit. And I felt by the Spirit "Now it
begins." There was something let loose, it seemed - something that was starting that no one could stop. Something that
was bigger than any human being, something that no one could pray away or stop. It was going to come, and we were to
be ready.
The prophetic word God gave you finished the rest for me of what the Spirit was saying in regard to this. It was more felt
in my spirit than spoken to me, though I have some knowing in my spirit that things of cataclysmic proportion are going
to happen.
Am just writing to confirm what you have heard. And since that time, Spencer Iowa has been hit hard, Minneapolis has
140,000 homes without power because of damaging winds. That is unheard of, - my husband has lived in MN for 42
years, and I for 30 - never has there been anything like this. Our neighbor of 88 years who has lived in southern MN for 50
years said she has never seen anything like it. She has lived in this region all her life.
May God make us all ready for what is about to come. His grace is sufficient.
Peace to you in the Lord Jesus,

Karen Peterson

Strategic Purpose For The UK

Mark Stibbe
'For several years now I have been having a recurrent vision of a globe with the UK and Europe clearly
visible on it; On top of the globe (above where the UK is situated) there is a modern
telecommunication's mast with satellite dishes on it; 'This mast is giving off sound waves that look like
tiny lightning bolts of fire, and these are going out into Europe (i.e., westwards);
You will see something of this vision portrayed graphically in our 'Europe Awake'! logo; The meaning
of this vision seems to me to be this: that the Lord has a strategic purpose for the UK; That the Lord is
going to do again what he has done before (use the UK as a gateway for revival in Europe as a
whole); That he is going to use television, the Internet, radio, audio-visual resources and other artistic
media to awaken Europe;
That the Lord is going to use anointed 'communicators' (see Jean Darnell's picture under 'Mission
Field') to achieve this; That the situation in Europe is going to get darker, but that the light is - through
the coming revival - going to get lighter; That Europe Awake! may, in the plan and mercy of God, have
a small part to play in this sovereign purpose'.
Also relevant are the following much shorter words I feel the Lord has been giving me for some time:
1.The darkness is going to get darker but the light is going to get brighter in Europe. Do not be afraid:
the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot overcome it.
2.There are going to be Third World revivals in First World societies. Therefore, be humble. Learn
from those who have been used by me in far poorer contexts than yours. Formerly you sent
missionaries to these nations. Now you will receive missionaries from these nations. If you will humble
yourselves and learn from these missionaries, if you will learn how to pray like they pray, if you will
seek my face and be jealous for the glory of my presence, if you will repent of every sin, then I will
come in great power for the forgiveness of sins and the healing of your land (2 Chronicles 7.14).

Small Straws In A Soft Wind

Marsha Burns
WORDS FROM THE LORD TO MARSHA BURNS:
July 31, 1998:

Have I not raised a standard and set a plumb line in the midst of My people? And, shall I turn My back when those
standards in My Word are ignored and transgressed? My house is built on a sure foundation, and every stone that does
not fit My standard and stay within the boundaries of My plumb line shall be rejected. This, My building, shall be for a
holy habitation, and no unclean thing shall dwell there.
Amos 7:7-8, "Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb
line in His hand. And the LORD said to me, 'Amos, what do you see?' And I said, 'A plumb line.' Then the
Lord said: 'Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them
anymore.'"
July 28, 1998:

I have surrounded you with protection like a mother bird protects her young. I have raised you from your time of infancy in
My nest, and I have fed you. You have watched Me come and go as a bird would fly away and come again, and you have
enjoyed sweet fellowship with Me. The time has come that I will teach you to fly that you no longer will be bound to the
nest. You will rise up with wind beneath your wings and fly with Me to experience what you have only been able to
observe from your place of safety. There is greater risk in leaving the nest, but there is also greater benefit. I will show
you things and use you in ways you never thought possible. It is time, My fledglings, to soar with Me. You say, how will I
do this? I will coax you and teach you. All I require of you is that you be yielded and willing. I will accomplish this in you.
Watch! I am about to do a new thing with you.
July 27, 1998:

I have already spoken to My people that the winds have been driving you and have said, come into My safe harbor. But I
also speak today that you must lighten your load. Get rid of useless cargo. Throw it overboard. By this I mean, don't take
on or try to handle responsibilities, problems or burdens that are not yours. I am speaking of those things that I have not
assigned to you but are self-imposed or pushed on you by others. Otherwise, the sea (of humanity) could overwhelm
you. Then, toss overboard your own cares and burdens. Trust Me in all things. I have said in My word,
"Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put
on." (Matthew 6:25)
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
(Matthew 6:33)
July 25, 1998:

I am still doing a work of cleansing and purging My people. Watch for things to surface that need to be eliminated as you
walk through the fire. One particularly universal test is one of needing to be needed, the desire to be helpful. This in itself
is not bad, but it is the motive that I want to purify. Be sensitive to the leading of My Spirit in ministering to others, so
that your motive is not one of gaining approval, acceptance or acclaim. Everything you do must be for the purpose of
bringing glory to My kingdom!

Strong Man Dream

Nesher Lavan
10-30-98
Over the past few days I have been going through some very difficult personal circumstances and I had prayed that the
Lord would grant me wisdom and knowledge of why these things were happening in my life. Two nights ago I had the
following dream:
I was outside and in the parking lot of the church I used to attend in my hometown. I was trying to go somewhere else to
deal with the situations in my life but I kept getting stopped by a "giant" who would physically block me, and it seemed
that no matter which way I went he was right there to stop me. I began to get very frustrated and the situation was made
worse when the giant began to taunt me and show me that he had intercepted and was reading my mail.
Nothing else significant happened after that point in my dream but I soon awoke and the Lord showed me that the enemy
has sent a "strongman" to oppose all that I do right now. I also believe though that the Lord showed me that many other
"strongmen " have been sent out to thwart and frustrate other members of the Body and their loved ones.

The Field of Stumps

Barbara Miron
VISION: September 12, 1998
During a time of prayer for restoration in God's people, I began to ask God about areas of my life that
had flourished in the past, but now seemed to be dormant or dead. I could never understand the
reason for these losses. I got a vision of a stump in a field with only a few inches of dry wood above
ground but lots of life in the roots. I understood this to be a picture of my life. Then I saw a few green
shoots spring up from the stump, and I knew that it would grow into a verdant tree.
The vision expanded, and I saw thousands and thousands of stumps in the field. These too had
nothing above ground, but lots of life in their roots. I began to pray for restoration for the Christians
these stumps represented. I began to feel deep pain, an identification with the wounds and terrible
memories these stumps carried. I understood that none of these former trees had become stumps all
at once, but gradually. Repeated blows by axes, saws and bulldozers had reduced them one branch,
one section, at a time. Like me, these thousands of stumps also felt bereaved and didn't understand
why all of this had happened.
Then as the vision expanded again, I saw the field of stumps at a later point in time. The stumps were
now a lush forest with abundant fruit on the trees. All kinds of creatures dwelt in the shade provided by
the forest. It was alive with bird songs, fragrant scents and beautiful colours. The forest floor was a
carpet of grass and flowers. It was an absolutely wonderful place.
Again the vision expanded, and I saw that all around this lush forest was a total wasteland, all black
and charred as if it had been through a forest fire. I understood that an intense fire had been through
the area, and all of the lofty trees had been completely destroyed. However, the stumps in the field had
been unharmed because they had nothing above ground to burn. After the fire, they sprang up from
the roots and stood out as a place of refuge and beauty in the midst of utter desolation all around.
It was quite a revelation to me that all of the blows that have pruned me down to a stump were, in fact,
God's great lovingkindness and tender care. He has been gently and lovingly preparing His people to
survive the fires ahead and preparing us to be a place of refuge after the fires burn.

The Stupidity of Holiness

Anthony Marquize
As I was reading the word this morning the thought came to me about the way that most people are teaching others
about holiness. They are telling people that they should not commit sin and that sin is against God's nature and that God
will judge sin. But then they turn right around and tell the same people that they can not live a holy life on this side of the
grave. This is where I got the title to this little message.
If we are suppose to live a Holy life by the command of the Lord and by the teaching of the men of God of old and by the
written teachings of the Bible that we have today and are also by the teachings of our modern day preachers but then we
are also told we will never be able to do it. That to me is the stupidity of holiness. Why would the Lord command us to
live Holy and the prophets and Apostles teach us the same thing and then preachers preach it the same way, then turn
around and say BUT now understand we know that no one, NOT EVEN HOLY ME can live it. You know no one is or can
be perfect. They also say don't watch me I will disappoint you. But the Bible says "be ye perfect even as your Father in
heaven is perfect".
Here is the question that I have. Is God some kind of cruel prankster? Was the Apostles and Prophets giving people a
law that could not be obeyed? Are we today just saying nice words about a theory of Christianity and holiness as a life
style? Or did God mean what He said "without Holiness NO MAN will see GOD". Should we not just believe the prophets
of old when they were telling the people the truth, that if they did not turn from their sin God would judge them with many
of the curses that God told them about and that He would raise up others nations to bring them into physical captivity
when they failed to keep His commandments. What do you think? Did the apostles who were anointed by the Holy
Ghost that wrote the New Testament mean what they were saying when they told the people of God "let not these things
be named ONCE among you". Did they mean what they said?
Hey believe me God is not confused about this thing called Holiness if anyone is confused it is the people that are
teaching others that they can not live above the power of sin in this life. Why would a Holy God tell His people to do
something that was impossible? If He (GOD) did that then He would be a liar and then He could not be GOD, because
God can not lie.
As a believer we must believe that with every command of God there must also be the provision of ability to keep that
commandment. God in the beginning gave man the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He also
gave man a free will. This was the provision to keep the commandment of not eating from the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil.
The ability of man to keep the commandment of God was not an impossible task then and is still not impossible today "it
was and is just a choice of love". It all came down to this Adam loved the pleasure that he had been enjoying with his
wife Eve (his flesh) more that he (Adam) was enjoying his pleasure with God. His will made the choice.
Was it impossible for Adam and Eve to keep God's commandment in the beginning? Of course not! They just wanted to
do what they wanted to do more than what God wanted them to do. This is the same problem that we all have today and
it has and always will be the root of the problem in the area of Holiness. Man loves the pleasure of his flesh MORE than
he loves his fellowship in the spirit with GOD. Men have always made excuses why they have sinned and for why they
keep on sinning. Adam blamed God and Eve. Preachers today are still blaming God when they say that their flesh is
weak. God you are wrong for giving me this weak flesh and then demanding me to live holy. They are really blaming God
when they say that you can not live a completely Holy life while you are still in your flesh (this is the same thing that
Adam did, he too blamed his flesh "Eve" ) when he said she gave it to me and I ate it. But before he blamed his flesh he
blamed God for giving him this flesh (the woman you gave me).
If we are going to teach people that they CAN NOT live this HOLY LIFE then don't teach them that they SHOULD LIVE A
HOLY LIFE. If I can not live it, then I should NOT have to live it. This is where the doctrine of ONCE SAVED ALWAYS
SAVED comes in. Which the bible don't not teach.
When we tell a person that he should do something (stop sinning) and then turn right around and make him believe that
he can not do it we put him in bondage. Here is where we find the real source of this type of teaching "A Spirit of
Religion". They promise people freedom from the LAW but really put them in bondage to sin. You see if we tell them that
they should and must live this holy life to please a Holy God and then tell them that they can not. Then we must then
provide them with some way of pleasing this Holy God. The way becomes religion, (not a relationship with a living God)
come to church, pay your tithes, pray everyday, read your bible everyday, go door to door, ect. When I preach about
what you SHOULD be DOING but tell you, remember I also told you that it is impossible for you to do it you are in
bondage. I need to then give you a way out. So then I will have an altar call after I preach and challenge you to do
something that is impossible for you to do. So when you come up to "my alter", I will even give you my special prayer
that I will tell you to repeat because you are not holy enough to think of one yourself and that you can not be as close to
God as I am. Does this sound like any thing that you have heard in church where you attend? Man I was even under
conviction while I was writing this as I have been guilty of the same sin in the past. God hates that religious spirit.
Here is what God wants His people to believe! If God tells them to do something He means what He says and that He
will also empower them to do IT!!!!. This takes the power away from the preacher, it also takes the dependence of the
people on the preacher and puts it on the LORD and His Holy Spirit. We all know that in the power of our flesh lives no
good thing but in the power of the Holy Ghost is the power to do the will of God. That is why God sent us His own Holy
Spirit so we could LIVE the HOLY life. Which is required of all that will be able to see God. So let all of us that call our
selves PREACHERS of the GOSPEL (the good news) tell everyone that we meet that not only does God command all to
repent of their rebellion but He also requires all to live a Holy spotless life that is free form sin here and now. That is good
news if you don't know it. He also will give anyone that obeys Him the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will then come into this
believer and empower him to die to his own selfish desires and live a Holy life filled with the Love of God. This is the
Gospel the good news to be free from the bondage of sin and to be full of the Love of God. What do you think?
Let us not continue to preach the "Stupidity of Holiness". But let us preach the Beauty and reality of Holiness, that will
allow us to see God. Living a life of Holiness is not a theory it is a reality that was purchased by the Holy life and pure
blood sacrifice of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. This promise is for anyone who will dare to believe the TRUTH that was
passed down to all of us through the prophets ,Apostles, and through the Holy Ghost in the written and spoken word of
God. We must be a believer to receive this, not a unbeliever. So many preacher have made unbelievers out of so many
who would have believed the truth if it were only told to the people of God.
We all have a burning desire within us to live Holy because this is the desire of God who is trying to work within you his
perfect will for your life and His kingdom. It is also the reality of the presence of the down payment of the Holy Ghost that
put this desire in our hearts and mind. So don't be STUPID nor be a STUPID teacher of this wonderful truth of Holiness.
Tell them not only should they live Holy but THAT THEY CAN, IN JESUS NAME and through the power of HIS HOLY
GHOST. If you continue to sin don't make any excuses why you can not live Holy just confess that "YOU DON'T WANT
TO".

A Great and Sudden Change

Brett Wade
The Lord God who has brought us this far will not abandon us now! He's a commitment keeper. In the this hour when it
looks like breakthrough will not come, we need to realize that we serve a faithful God! We choose to live in the kingdom
of God! The kingdom is where the king has dominion! His kingdom rules! His kingdom rules in every realm: in the natural,
earthly world and in the spiritual world.
His kingdom must be brought forth from into the earth from the heavenly. We're Heaven's representation on the earth!
Heaven's representatives need to display heaven to the earth and all the people who live on it. It's up to us to choose to
be Heaven's vessel!
There's a great change coming! Sudden change! It's not a new thought to God and it shouldn't be to us! Just as the Holy
Spirit's manifestation on the day of Pentecost came suddenly so will it be today. It took one hundred and twenty of Jesus
disciples obedience. First, they went to Jerusalem. Second, they were in unity. God, then, suddenly fulfilled His promise!
It took a thorough process for that sudden change. God is taking you through His process. He hasn't forgotten about you!
He knows your every concern! He has a plan for you! God knows the right timing for your sudden change! He hears your
cries for deliverance from lack! Deliverance is certainly on the way! Adversity is the breeding ground for the miraculous.
He's the God of abundant supply - regardless of your need!
Read Isaiah 66:7-9, "Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Before her pain came, She delivered a male child. Who has
heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be
born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, She gave birth to her children. Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not
cause delivery?" says the LORD. "Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?" says your God."
The hardest labor pains come at delivery.
Trusting For Breakthrough,

Pastor Bret Wade

Suffer the Children

By Linda Royce
Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of
heaven (Matt. 19:14).
I have spoken many words to My church about children. "They have the answers to our world." "They
will lead the way." "They will be on the front line of the move of God." You have "tried" many different
things to bring this about. I tell you, many of these things have been your own ideas. Why would you not
seek Me?
I have spoken that I will use children powerfully, and I will. You receive My words about children and
continue to try and figure out how to do it. You want to "tap in." Do you think for one minute that the
years of aborting them, looking upon them as a nuisance, casting them aside, putting them in day
care, and just plain ignoring them will be wiped out just because you heard one word from Me? You
have cursed them, says the Lord.
The enemy has tried to obliterate this generation and many of you (My big children) have contributed
to his plan. You have even allowed his plan to filter into My church. Many of you won’t come to My
house unless there is a separate house for your children. "Away from me, away from me," you say. In
My own church, in My own body... where they go or what they do you don’t really care. As long as they
are away from you.
Have you ever considered that the reason your "church-arranged" child care is such a challenge is
because I have neither ordained nor anointed it? Seek Me, says the Lord. Throw away every plan and
program you ever had or ever saw, and SEEK ME! If you will lay aside every preconceived notion, I
will direct you. Again I say, I will direct you. Seek My whole counsel. Allow Me to direct every step, and
I will bring it to pass.

Spiritual Warfare, NOT!

By Ben Lucas
Spiritual warfare is not praying for God to beat up on the devil for you or for your friends or loved ones.
Spiritual warfare is, HATING sin in all its sneaky forms and lying manifestations. Our battle is not with
flesh and blood, but it is most certainly a battle! If we don't hate sin, then we won't fight it with all our
heart. We will be like the Israelites in the Promised Land. They were ordered to kill without mercy,
men, women, children, babies, pregnant women, and sometimes even the animals. Some have
wondered about the supposed viciousness of God, forgetting that the history of the Israelites is a
schoolmaster, a teacher for us. This alleged viciousness is to teach us to HATE sin, to give it no
mercy, no place in our lives!
The position of the church today, seems to be, "we wrestle not" at all, with the world, the flesh, and
certainly not the devil. The only fighting we do is with each other.
Jesus paid it all and we don't have to do anything. Paul said,
" Heb 12:4(KJV) YE HAVE NOT YET RESISTED UNTO BLOOD, STRIVING AGAINST
SIN.
And this Scripture is certainly true of the twentieth century church in America." We not only haven't
resisted, we have surrendered in the interest of unity and brotherhood, and invited the forces of evil to
speak and teach in our churches. Yes, the church of today, at least in Christian America, has forgotten
to hate sin, and has accepted sin as "to be expected". But Jesus said,
John 8:34(KJV) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, WHOSOEVER
COMMITTETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN.
We're successful, rich, famous, well fed, and we have leisure time.
Ezek 16:49 (KJV) Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, Pride, Fulness Of
Bread, And Abundance Of Idleness Was In Her And In Her Daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
The average American spends 8 or more hours per week watching television. Our teenagers have
nothing to do. No sin to fight, no spiritual highs to enjoy, no joy or love of the Lord. Of course, life is
boring for them "life is not worth living without love". We haven't even taught them how to care, and
love is not possible for those who don't care. Rev.3:15-17
How did the American church get into this position, lukewarm churches full of sinners who call
themselves Christians? And calling prayer, spiritual warfare.
We have substituted prayer for obedience, consecration, faith, for repentance, and love. We pray
instead of repenting and changing, we pray instead of loving. We pray instead of forgiving others. We
have even substituted prayer for love, joy, peace, and the other fruits of the spirit.
The church teaches us to pray for the things that we already own and/or are commanded to do, for
instance;
John 14:27 (KJV) PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU, MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: not as
the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Peace belongs to the people of god, we don't have to pray for it, we have to recognize that it belongs
to us and from that position fight for it.
James 4:7(KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE
WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
Mat 5:44 (KJV) But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
Mat 22:
37 Jesus said unto him, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY
HEART, AND WITH ALL THY SOUL, AND WITH ALL THY MIND.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS
THYSELF.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (KJV)
These are orders, commandments, not, suggestions! How dare we pray as if God has short changed
us and made us without the ability or the power to obey.
John15:11 (KJV) These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you,
And That Your Joy Might Be Full.
When will we realize that most of what we pray for has already been given to us by the Lord? Praying
for something that we already own is counterproductive. What needs to happen is for individual
Christians and the church to recognize that ALL THINGS belong to us, and stand up and fight the
devil, like the Israelites were supposed to fight for the promised land, no mercy, no quarter, no
prisoners taken!
They, the Israelites did not obey and their descendants after thousands of years are still paying for
their disobedience to God. Their attitude was, but God you're being unreasonable, kill everything, burn
everything, struggle, fight and die. Lord, "you don't understand, really things aren't all that bad." "After
all, these people would make good slaves." And Gods answer, if they could have heard it was, then as
now, "yeah, right! Check it out, disobey now, and your slaves will become your masters.
Yes, the church in America today is very like the Israelites in the wilderness. God gave and they
wouldn't believe enough to obey. But notice, then as now, what God gave them was the power, the
right, the authority, the title deed, to the Promised Land. But they and we must march in and take it.
There were and are deaths and wounding. There were and are casualties. Sin and the devil don't just
roll over and die. There is a battle and if you don't fight, you don't win
Spiritual warfare as practiced in America in the 1990s CANNOT and can never provide victory for
individual Christians or churches. Because the church is teaching "pray that God will beat up on the
big bad devil and make him stop being mean and hurting people". But the devil IS mean, nasty, dirty,
vile, and evil, just as much as God IS love. If God had wanted to make the devil nice, He could and
would have made him nice.
Isa 45:7 (KJV) I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and Create Evil: I the
LORD do all these things.
Jesus Christ our savior already beat up on the devil, He whipped him publicly and dragged him
through the heavens, showing everyone the devil in utter and complete defeat.
Eph 4:8 (KJV) Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, He Led Captivity
Captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Maybe you're one of those that think this war isn't for keeps or that its just a game played by puppets.
If so please notice,
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE:,

because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Who is in control? Whose choice is it to reject knowledge?
John 8:34 (KJV) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, WHOSOEVER
COMMITTETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN.
How is it possible for us to continue in sin and claim we are fighting and winning the spiritual war?
Heb 10:26 (KJV) For If We Sin Wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the
truth, There Remaineth No More Sacrifice For Sins,
I don't like using this Scripture without a 2 page explanation of willfully. (Write for it) But it is possible to
use up the power of the blood of Christ, see the next few verses.
Spiritual warfare is not prayer! Spiritual warfare is fighting, resisting, the devil and his lies.
2 Cor 10:5 (KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO
THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST;
Spiritual warfare, is bringing ourselves, our thoughts, our actions, into the obedience of Christ. Yes, it's
much more difficult and time consuming than prayer, but it's the only way to overcome, and win!
Notice Please, of the seven churches in Rev. 2 and 3---six of them are given the promise--if you
overcome or conquer. And to overcome anything, even a bad habit, you must fight. Praying helps, but
ordinarily, God will do what you can't do, but He rarely does what you can do!
Have you been praying or fighting? Winning or losing?
Are you being destroyed by the devil, because you don't know?
If what you're doing isn't working and the devil is still pushing you around, isn't it time to think, change,
learn, even study, in order to take and enjoy Gods' promises in this life?

You think I am altogether like you, but you are mistaken. I speak and No one listens. You filter my words through your
preconceived ideas and Your brand of theology. Look, even the demons tremble! But you treat My word as if it is the
mere babblings of men.
You have pride! When I send someone to speak my word to you, you say, 'I already know that'. Behold you know nothing
yet as you ought to know It!
You are blind! You are like a cripple trying to hold others up. Therefore you will topple because your pillars are pride!
Only repentance will open your eyes. You say I am strong in the Lord-yet the truth is you are strong in your own
willpower! If you will Drink pride, you will be snared by it. The enemy will invade because of Your drunkenness.
I will not share my glory with another!
I speak and you should tremble with fear. I spoke all things into Existence and I could wipe it out with a thought or a
quick sigh. Yet For my son's sake, I restrain my terrible destruction.
You are choosing your own ways above my council. Behold, the sword!! Only those that fall on their faces before me and
humble themselves in The presence of my word shall escape the damage of the sword! I will Swing my sword north to
south and east to west-woe to you who are in the Middle! Yet my mercy is everlasting to those who seek my grace.
When will you admit your need? I desire to give you the kingdom, but I Will not give to those who think they already own
it! I gather under My wings the humble. When pride comes, you are out from under divine Protection. Repent, and I will
restore!
Luke 13:34,35

The Abomination Of Desolation

Bill Burns
(October 28, 1998): In Matthew 24:15 Jesus said, "Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the Prophet, standing in the holy place" (whoever reads, let him understand). Verse 15 follows verse 14 which is
talking about the time of the end (end of the age), and the time of the Lord's coming. (Also see Matthew 24:3)
The abomination of desolation is usually taught to be an image (statue) that the anti-christ places in the end-time temple
in Jerusalem, and that may be a correct application of Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14, but I want to offer another
understanding of these scriptures for your consideration.
I want to talk about another temple in which the abomination that brings desolation is being established in and how that
is taking place. The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and
that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is
holy, which temple you are." In verse 18 he warns us with these words, "Let no one deceive you." In other words don't be
deceived as to the importance of keeping the temple undefiled.
Satan's plan is to seduce God's people to establish (set up) graven images (idols) in our own hearts and minds that will
bring the abomination (perverse thinking) that causes desolation (defilement which quenches the Holy Spirit and puts him
out of the temple of God).
Consider Luke 16:15...and Jesus said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your
hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God." Revelation 17:4 pictures Mystery
Babylon (the end-time harlot church) as having a "golden cup full of abominations." I believe this golden cup represents
the desires of the heart that are not the desires of God's heart for His people.
Now, we can begin to see that these perverse images of the desires of man's heart that are in opposition to the Word of
God will bring a desolation (departure of the Spirit) when we justify ourselves in our perversions of the Word of God.
On October 16, 1998. this word came forth with regard to the graven images: You are the children of the Lord, the
children of Zion. You sing those songs from your heart, and you call Me Messiah; you call Me the Son of God; you call
Me Savior; you call Me King. But, I come to you tonight to tell you that many yet have not found Me. Many still do not
call to Me out of an intimate relationship. They call Me not by name, but they call me according to the images that they
have engraved upon their hearts--graven images to the unknown God. Surely, I say, that they have not yet found Me. I am
coming with an anointing to break the yoke that has held all of Mine from Me that they may find Me. I have spoken to you
in times past that these are the days in which many walk through the Valley of Decision, but I say to some of you that it
is the dark valley of the soul where you cry out wondering where I am, calling My name, but not able to find Me. But, I am
just before you, waiting for you to reach unto Me, waiting for you to take hold of My hand, so I can lead you through this
hour of the darkness of the shadow of the souls of men to bring you forth into new light and a new dimension.
What are these graven images to the "unknown God?" These are the images of our concepts of God and the wrong
image or ideal is established in the holy place (our heart) in a position of idolatry where the true image of God is
"unknown" to us. These false ideals (our concepts established because of our desires) bring forth self-justification which
is an abomination to God, and desolation (lack of truth) is found in the temple of God.
Now, I will make a startling statement which may offend some who call themselves Christians. It is most likely true that
all who call themselves Christians have established some form of abomination (in the temple) which has created a
desolation of the true character and will of God, and God is, therefore, unknown to them regarding the abomination
established. The abomination can be false doctrine or simply wrong concepts about how one thinks God should interact
with them.
For instance, there are those that God is only a God of love and mercy and grace. They will not allow their concepts to
embrace a God of severity. That thinking creates an image of who they will allow God to be to them, which is false. The
desolation produced is their understanding that God will save everyone, or that He will not judge His own children harshly.
The desolation (void) is then a lack of godly fear and trembling before a God who will have to tell some of those so-called
Christians, "Depart from Me I never knew you." So, God became unknown to them in this aspect of judgment.
Images are very powerful because our image of God is the object of our faith. Selah. Therefore, our faith will function
according to our image (idol, ideals) of the God that we have set up in the holy place of our hearts. If you don't believe
that God heals by faith (in this present dispensation), then the image of God within the temple isn't able to heal because
your faith is based upon God Himself--He is the substance of things hoped for and brings forth the evidence of things
unseen.
Idolatry in the Christian camp is the establishment of self-desire and self-will in the temple of God (your body), and the
bowing down to self-desire (personal pleasure), which is based upon self-love. Listen to what the Apostle Paul wrote
concerning those who have only a form (image) of godliness which is based on self-desire. 2 Timothy 3:1-5, "But know
this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control,
brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of
godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"
As the Apostle prophesied, these are perilous times (very dangerous times) in which Satan is seducing God's people. 1
Timothy 4:1, "Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving
spirits and doctrines of demons."
The seduction is to get us to establish the abomination of self-serving attitudes and doctrines in the temple of God that
will produce desolation (a lack of power) to live the overcoming Christian life. Let us remember the Apostle's words in 1
Corinthians 3:18, " Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool
that he may become wise."

Take Aim in the Spirit

Rick Fultz
December 30, 1997
The Lord would speak these words to you. Focus on Me and I will do mighty things for you! You have been opposed by
the enemy for so long that this opposition seems a part of your life, and is hindering you from implementing God's plan to
the fullness! Rise up and take aim in the Spirit and release the arrows of intercession that I have placed in your bow. This
is a new day and you will find that I am about to release a fresh move of My Spirit in the earth.
Patterns of victory I have set before you. Designs of prosperity I have created within you. Did I not set before you patterns
of victory? Gideon, Joshua, and David to name a few. Did I not set before you designs of prosperity? Joseph, Solomon
and Ruth. Rise up and cry aloud! Set your face like a flint towards Me and watch Me move in your behalf. I desire to
release new things in the earth.
Who will find My will? Who will rise up and fight? Who is among you that will speak the truth and direct My people
towards Me, instead of man's agenda? There are those who speak in My name and say, "God is going to do here exactly
what He is doing in other places," but My Spirit is not in them!
There are those who say that they know the pattern that will bring success, but are foolish in their wisdom and only seek
to gain honor and money from those who flock around them. Enough! Enough! saith the Lord. I will "now" begin to reveal
the hearts of these to the world.
Look to the South and watch My hand pull back the cover and expose deceit, lasciviousness and fraud. Look and
understand that this must happen before I release the greatest move of My spirit in the earth. For by this time next year
those who say, "look at our church, look what God has done in our church, look and "pattern" your services after our
design," will be no more!
They say that they do not teach people to pattern after their church, and this is somewhat true. They do not "say," but in
their "posture of false humility" and their "secret pride" they display to others that which seems right to man. Do not go
near them for I am going to expose them fully! The world will see their secret pride and their false humility.
Fear not, I will not allow this to bring a reproach on My servants, for I have been removing them from this place. Listen for
a sound that says God has done this thing to spare this generation a great deception! I desire to release a "great move"
of My Spirit in the earth, but the enemy has tried to create a "wrong concept" of My move. I desire for "all" to come to the
place of repentance and be released to live a celebrated life in Me. A life of Holiness, NOT a religious life. A life that is
pursuing the heartbeat of God!
Rise up! Not in a religious posture! Rise up! Not limited to the boundaries set by tradition! Rise up! Not intimidated by the
voice of Jezebel, who plots her course after the prophetic word that I have sent to you. Rise up and take aim in the spirit
and you will hit the mark!!
Some of you are being repositioned geographically by My hand! You have wondered if this is the plan of God or is it flesh
that causes you to consider this move. Take aim in My spirit , by My spirit and I will CONFIRM to you by my prophet's
that this is My plan for you.
If you are not CONFIRMED by My prophet's then pray for your release to cross the path of one of My servants that you
might be CONFIRMED!! DON'T ALLOW TRADITION TO MOVE YOU IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!! A direction that
would seem right to the flesh, because of the "justification" of works that would be accomplished in My name.
IF YOU ARE TRYING TO JUSTIFY THIS MOVE IT IS "NOT" ME! I WILL GIVE YOU SUCH A DESIRE YOU WILL NOT
NEED JUSTIFICATION, BUT ONLY CONFIRMATION TO MAKE THIS MOVE!! Pray in the Spirit and I will do warfare for
you. Intercession is your strength in this matter. Draw back the bow of intercession and release My Spirit to "reposition"
you according to My perfect plan saith the Lord your God!
I am rolling away the clouds that have blocked your view! Rejoice! Rejoice for I have spared you a great deception saith
the Lord of host!

Take the Land-Harvest

Linda Royce
September 30, 1998
It is time to go forward and take the land. I have prepared a great, great harvest. This coming year will be a time of great,
great harvest. Go, my people, Go!
Preach My gospel. My power you will see as the gospel is preached (Romans 1:16). Do not be deceived by the
simplicity of the gospel (2 Corinthians 11:3). I am restoring simplicity to My body.
When you go in and take the land, you must destroy ALL of the high places. They have been laid up for you, but you
must completely destroy them.
Great favor I will give you. Do not limit Me. Even though you have believed Me, you will be in awe of My great favor. As
you stand and see what I do, you will not be able to say that anyone or anything brought these things about except My
sovereign hand.
Lastly, when I bring about this great harvest, feed My lambs. As I have trained you up in the way you should go, so you
must do the same with my lambs (My babies). Do not abandon them. Love them, teach them, train them, pray for them,
disciple them. I am entrusting you with the greatest riches when I bring My babies to you.

A Nation of Thieves and Peddlers

I feel released to give these words at this time....
Received this word 4/17/95 0050 hours
"Spiritual Israel Has become a nation of thieves and peddlers. Usury fills the hearts of many who call
on My name; extracting money from workers so their families are filled with pleasures, while the
exploited live in squalor in comparison...
The church has been blinded to their own sin by bowing down to idolatry in compromise with the world
and mammon. Many seek after serving Me while harboring greed for money and power, fame and
pleasure.
There is much wantonness in the hearts of men. Without their even realizing it, so much pretense has
filled their lives and they've become superficial and out of touch with the hurts of My people and the
needs of the poor. they've applied Band-Aids on those who've needed surgery. and like bad doctors,
they've given a pill for those requiring heart surgery.
Instead of lovingkindness and patience, the wounded have received judgement, faultfinding
exclusivity, false prophecy and teaching.
I will now raise up the Deborah's. I will now raise up My deliverers and healers. I will restore the five-
fold ministry in My church and I will raise up those whom I HAVE CHOSEN. I will frustrate the plans of
men and raise up the weak to confound the strong and the foolish, to confound the wise in their own
opinion. They will know that I the Lord am God in heaven AND ON EARTH. I will not allow My glory to
usurped any longer.
I will lead the blind by a way they did not know, and I will destroy the mountains of PRIDE and GREED
and COMPETITION. I will pour out My Spirit on ALL flesh....
On My sons and daughters alike I will pour it out. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord. The Portion of Jacob will rule and reign over My church forever and ever.
I WILL bring forth My BRIDE spotless and PURE. And My glory will radiate from her to bless ALL
nations and lead them to the Desire of All Nations. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the
days of your life and you will dwell in the house of the Lord. Trust in the lord with all of your heart....and
LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. FOR SURELY I AM DOING A new thing IN THE
EARTH AND ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT.
An unbridled anointing of My LOVE and KINDNESS is being poured out until all who are called by My
name are KNOWN by the LOVE they have for one another, and THEN it will spill over into the
highways and byways for all to receive.
Your unsaved families and loved ones will not be denied in this outpouring of My Spirit. Only PRAY for
them and they will be saved!
Life and death are in the tongue. Blessing and cursing should not come from the same mouth....yet it
is COMMON in MY HOUSE ! It should NOT be so. It's not what goes in the mouth that defiles a man -
but what comes out. To those who are willing to consecrate their tongues to ME...be careful what you
look at. Be careful what you listen to. Cleanse your ways and I will give AUTHORITY to your words.
BUT NOT SO THAT you use them as a weapon against your own brothers and sisters...(in the Lord).
For out of the abundance of the HEART the mouth speaks. Examine your hearts, and forsake WRATH
and ENVY and SELFISH AMBITION and PRIDE. HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord and HE
will lift you up!
Put on garments of LOVE and COMPASSION and HOSPITALITY (love of strangers - see
concordance) and GOOD WORKS and I will bring you the forsaken, the unlovely, the jeered at, the
crippled, the tormented, and you will be LIGHT and LOVE to them. I WILL PROVIDE ALL THAT YOU
NEED. Only OPEN YOUR HEARTS that I may come in and sup with you. All you need will be found
through COMMUNION WITH ME. Do not neglect your FIRST LOVE.
Time and again My heart cries out to you for the children, for the lost, for My church. Continue to rest in
My word. My protection surrounds you. DO NOT FEAR !!!! Lay all your concerns at My feet. For I care
FOR you! Separate yourselves for the coming of the BRIDEGROOM. Surely all you need will be
provided for you. Neglect NOT prayer and praise and the Word.
I AM EL SHADDAI !!!!
And I will supply all you need..


The Beauty of Chaos

Richard W Breazeale
I find that the Lord speaks different to one than to another. All of us are different and are a different
part of the body. God does not have a cookie cutter to stamp out followers, but uses us individually as
well as corporately to fulfill His purpose. In this I find a variety that is awesome as it is different.
Remember for some this is ok and for others it is not ok. And I know that this in big part concerns our
faith, but it also concerns our calling and use in the Kingdom. If there is one thing I have learned in my
walk that I can speak to on this subject it is this. It does not matter if one understands or even knows
what another part of the body is doing. That is for God to know and move in, not another. Though we
all are submitted to another in the body as well as the written word AND the Holy Spirit to keep us
online, in track, our eye as single upon His will. For I find that if one is looking to the Master, and
keeping His word, then He is in unity and inline with ALL who are doing same whether this is seen in
the flesh or not.
One is told to speak to issues in the church, another is told to keep quiet and pray/intercede. One is
called to pull out of the 'church/building' another is told to stay. One is told to lay hands on the sick,
another to prophecy. One is told to lead the way in worship and praise, another is told to follow. There
is no simple standard or look to the body other then obedience to Christ. As a forest, we do not look
the same throughout, but to look at the whole we see the beauty. Look how a forest planted by man
looks. God is seen in all of creation. Look to the diversity, the difference, the beauty of His order
above mans. The flesh sees this as contradiction, division, chaos, but the spirit sees Gods order.
When man can quit looking to flesh and through flesh as a means of understanding and seeing they
will see His order and find joy and peace and faith as never before. Fleshly division which leads to
criticism and pride will cease. Even in the OT in Exodus I believe the standard, the model for the
church was shown. Each having their own standard and banner. With Judah by the east gate leading
the way in PRAISE AND WORSHIP! And the others following as Judah followed the Lord God. No,
God does not change, but we just do not see or accept because of the drawing of the flesh and
seeing through the eyes of flesh instead of spirit.
In His service........Laz

Thunderbolt Over France

Catherine Brown, Scotland
The vision began with the Lord's hand coming down out of Heaven and in His hand was a large
thunderbolt. It had the form of a word and when I looked closely, the Lord opened the palm of His hand
and allowed me to see that the thunderbolt was fashioned out of the most beautiful platinum gold and
formed the word ZION. I looked from my heavenly vantage point towards the earth, and saw that we
were looking over the nation of France. I saw France clearly outlined.
As I looked more closely I could see that there was a thick layer of ice covering the entire surface of
the area we know today as the country of France. There was no life that I could see; all I could see was
ice. I noticed that there was a crack upon the ice and that it ran across the full surface of the ice. I
could see that this crack was causing the surface of the ice to melt.
I asked the Lord what was under the ice and He allowed me to see. The ice had many, many layers
and as I looked down through these plates of ice, I could see that they became thicker as they
descended. At the very lowest level of ice, I saw a heart. The heart was blue and lifeless. It was
moving, but the movement was just discernible. I knew the heart was close to dying.
I looked again to the Father and at this point I noticed He was crying. His tears were falling onto all the
way from heaven, and were dropping onto the surface of the ice. I realised that it was the Father's
tears that were melting the ice, and this was what had caused the ice to crack and I heard the Father
say "France is dying for lack of love and for rejection of Zion".
The Father then lifted His hand heavenward and with great fear and trepidation I watched His hand
rise and then He threw the thunderbolt within His right hand to earth. The thunderbolt struck the ice with
unimaginable force (and were it not for the fact that the Lord had his left arm around me I think I would
have passed out with fear at this point. I do not use poetic licence or dramatic words here for effect - I
was very much in fear of the Lord).
The thunderbolt struck the surface of the ice and immediately broke it open; the bolt went down
through every layer of ice, cutting a path through to the heart that was lying lifeless and blue. The
thunderbolt speared right through the centre of the heart and instantly the heart began to pump. I saw
the heart change colour from blue to a healthy red. I saw that the word ZION seemed to be operating
like the main artery of the once lifeless heart and the blood of the Lamb was flowing through the heart.
The ice in the layers above melted as the heart continued to beat and the ice turned to waters over the
land.
INTERPRETATION
The ice in the vision is symbolic of the sins of the nation of France and these seem to fall into two
main categories.
1.with specific regard to the children of Israel (because of the use of zion and the heart) and
2. Cold love - towards the Lord evidenced as self-sufficiency and humanism in the nation.
The layers of ice are symbolic of generational sins passed down through family lines. The thunderbolt
is symbolic of the power of the Lord and also of the children of Israel (for the Lord used the word ZION
to fashion the thunderbolt). The thunderbolt was made of beautiful platinum gold - white gold, the finest
and most beautiful gold - because that is how the Lord esteems the children of Israel.
The crack in the ice is indicative of the move of intercession in and for France, in repentance for the
sins of the nation. The tears of the Father melted the surface of the ice in the vision, and the prayers of
the saints, are the conduit for the Father's tears. The crack is symbolic of the prayers that have already
been offered up to the Lord for France and her forefathers -but there is more that needs to be done in
the place of prayer.
The Lord spoke these words "France is dying for lack of love and for rejection of Zion". The blue heart
in the vision is symbolic of this spiritual death over the nation, because of the sin of cold love and also
the sins against the children of Israel by the nation of France. (I got a very strong impression whilst
receiving this vision, that much of this is in regard to war crimes).
The release of the thunderbolt cut through every layer of ice (sin) and pierced the very heart (of the
nation of France). But this piercing of the heart did not bring death - it brought Life. When the once
blue heart (the people of France) became one with the thunderbolt
(Zion - the Lord's heart for His children Israel), the thunderbolt became the main source of life for the
heart and life began to flow.
I believe that when the sins of the fathers have been repented of, and the nation of France receives the
Lord's heart for the children of Israel, there will be a massive outpouring of the Spirit (symbolic of the
ice melting - the "floodwaters" - bringing Life and Restoration).
There is also a very serious tone to this vision - please my beloved, note that the heart at the bottom of
the ice would have died, if it had not received the Father's heart for Zion - it was a power encounter
(thunderbolt). France must receive the Father's heart for the children of Israel - or spiritual death will
result. It was swift and it was merciful, because the heart (of the nation of France) received the Lord's
impingement. The heart was PIERCED - there will be a similar piercing in the hearts of the people of
France as they cry out to the Lord and receive His revelation. But as with all sacrifices laid upon the
Lord's altar - the price to be paid will pale into insignificance as the blessings of the Lamb are poured
out upon the nation through the prayers of the broken and the humbled.

The Church Prophetic

Jeff Ching,
II Ki 6:1-2 1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too
strait for us. 2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a
place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye. (KJV)
The call has gone out and is now marching through the hearts of many of his prophetic people. Will you rise up in this
hour and labour to bring forth the Church prophetic? In the times of Elisha there was need to expand the school of the
prophets for their dwelling places became to cramped because of the great influx of student prophets. Elijah had started
these schools but it was during the Elisha (double portion) era that great increase had come. This is the day of double
portion equipping and preparing us to receive without measure that which will soon to be poured forth on His church.
The Word of God to His prophetic laborers *based* on 2 Ki.6:1-2
There was a very large company of prophetic people that started out to bring back beams needed for the enlargement of
the prophetic in the house of God. As they set out on their journey, prophets led the way to where these large timbers
would be found.
A few hours into their journey the group came upon a large meadow. This meadow was very beautiful and restful. It had a
beautiful stream running through it and you could feel the presence and peace of God round about. Flowers decorated the
landscape and a sweet, cool, gentle breeze refreshed their soul. Many said to themselves "this surely is where God has
called me to for there is so much peace and beauty here". They separated themselves from the group and started to
build themselves shelters and homes to dwell in.
A much smaller group proceeded on, walking for hours and hours following the prophets of God. After what seemed like
eternity they came upon a beautiful river. Here they jumped in to wash the dust and dirt from off them and to drink of its
pure clean waters. Sore feet were refreshed with these waters and the peace and majesty of God was everywhere. They
started to play in the river having great fun and relaxation. When it was time to journey on many wanted to just enjoy the
river so left from following the group. They too started to build dwelling places and were satisfied to live next to the river
that brought so much cleansing, refreshment and enjoyment to their lives.
A very small company proceeded on and soon came to the place where God had shown the prophets. Just ahead of
them rose forth a mountain of great majesty and near it's summit were trees suitable for the beams needed for the
enlarging of the prophetic church of God. The excitement grabbed ahold of each person and they started to attack the
mountain with great zeal in their effort to reach the top.
The sides of the mountain was covered with talus that made their ascent extremely difficult. They would take four steps
up and slide back three. Many lost their balance and fell backwards losing much of the ground they had gained. A few
said "this is too hard for us" and started to turn back.
A shout came up from someone who was able to go a little way up the side of the mountain. The person pointed to a very
small but clear path that seemed to wind up the side of the mountain, disappearing about half way up. It's entrance was
hidden but could be seen from part way up the mountain. The majority of the group quickly left the mountain for the ease
and safety of the path. As they marched up this path they were praising God for a way of escape from the hardships of
trying to climb such a difficult mountain. Some even started to run up this path with renewed vigor occasionally looking
back at the slower climbers.
As they reach the place where the path went around the backside of the mountain great disappointment unfolded before
their very eyes. The path had abruptly ended and shear cliffs made it impossible to venture forward or off the path. With
great disappointment they turned around and headed back down the path.
The small group that was left trying to scale the mountain were making almost effortless strides up the mountain side.
They had come to a place of need in helping one another. The Lord had worked them together as one man, with one
common goal. As they pushed and pulled each other up, not only did the ground beneath them become firm but their
strength became supernatural. Together, they soon arrived where the great trees were and quickly secured the timbers
needed. Their shoulders were prepared and the large timbers seemed but a light load.
They quickly descended the mountain and came upon those that had taken the path. Seeing the strength of the beams,
and having a renewed vision, Those from the way of the path said "let us come with you we will help you build". The
mercy of the Lord had so worked in the hearts of those who had ascended to the top of the mountain, no judgments were
made to those who had left for the easy path.
Shortly they came upon those by the river, and many seeing that the beams were secured also said "let us come with
you we will help you build". For, though they had been greatly refreshed, they realized the need to return to the building
of the prophetic church, for that was their first assignment.
Before they reached the meadow they came upon a group that had gotten lost for they had not wanted to follow the
prophets of God but their own way. They too said "let us help you build". These had seen that without the greater
company of prophets, nothing would be accomplished. They too were welcomed with mercy and grace.
So likewise said the people of the meadow "let us help you build". For though they had enjoyed the peace and joy of the
meadow, they too had seen something was missing from their lives. They longed to renew the fellowship with their
brethren, and see the great house built. They all returned as a very large company to build the prophetic church of God.
See Scriptures: Matthew 20:l-16, Luke 15:11-24
Amen

hour and labour to bring forth the Church prophetic? In the times of Elisha there was need to expand the school of the
prophets for their dwelling places became to cramped because of the great influx of student prophets. Elijah had started
these schools but it was during the Elisha (double portion) era that great increase had come. This is the day of double
portion equipping and preparing us to receive without measure that which will soon to be poured forth on His church.
The Word of God to His prophetic laborers *based* on 2 Ki.6:1-2
There was a very large company of prophetic people that started out to bring back beams needed for the enlargement of
the prophetic in the house of God. As they set out on their journey, prophets led the way to where these large timbers
would be found.
A few hours into their journey the group came upon a large meadow. This meadow was very beautiful and restful. It had a
beautiful stream running through it and you could feel the presence and peace of God round about. Flowers decorated the
landscape and a sweet, cool, gentle breeze refreshed their soul. Many said to themselves "this surely is where God has
called me to for there is so much peace and beauty here". They separated themselves from the group and started to
build themselves shelters and homes to dwell in.
A much smaller group proceeded on, walking for hours and hours following the prophets of God. After what seemed like
eternity they came upon a beautiful river. Here they jumped in to wash the dust and dirt from off them and to drink of its
pure clean waters. Sore feet were refreshed with these waters and the peace and majesty of God was everywhere. They
started to play in the river having great fun and relaxation. When it was time to journey on many wanted to just enjoy the
river so left from following the group. They too started to build dwelling places and were satisfied to live next to the river
that brought so much cleansing, refreshment and enjoyment to their lives.
A very small company proceeded on and soon came to the place where God had shown the prophets. Just ahead of
them rose forth a mountain of great majesty and near it's summit were trees suitable for the beams needed for the
enlarging of the prophetic church of God. The excitement grabbed ahold of each person and they started to attack the
mountain with great zeal in their effort to reach the top.
The sides of the mountain was covered with talus that made their ascent extremely difficult. They would take four steps
up and slide back three. Many lost their balance and fell backwards losing much of the ground they had gained. A few
said "this is too hard for us" and started to turn back.
A shout came up from someone who was able to go a little way up the side of the mountain. The person pointed to a very
small but clear path that seemed to wind up the side of the mountain, disappearing about half way up. It's entrance was
hidden but could be seen from part way up the mountain. The majority of the group quickly left the mountain for the ease
and safety of the path. As they marched up this path they were praising God for a way of escape from the hardships of
trying to climb such a difficult mountain. Some even started to run up this path with renewed vigor occasionally looking
back at the slower climbers.
As they reach the place where the path went around the backside of the mountain great disappointment unfolded before
their very eyes. The path had abruptly ended and shear cliffs made it impossible to venture forward or off the path. With
great disappointment they turned around and headed back down the path.
The small group that was left trying to scale the mountain were making almost effortless strides up the mountain side.
They had come to a place of need in helping one another. The Lord had worked them together as one man, with one
common goal. As they pushed and pulled each other up, not only did the ground beneath them become firm but their
strength became supernatural. Together, they soon arrived where the great trees were and quickly secured the timbers
needed. Their shoulders were prepared and the large timbers seemed but a light load.
They quickly descended the mountain and came upon those that had taken the path. Seeing the strength of the beams,
and having a renewed vision, Those from the way of the path said "let us come with you we will help you build". The
mercy of the Lord had so worked in the hearts of those who had ascended to the top of the mountain, no judgments were
made to those who had left for the easy path.
Shortly they came upon those by the river, and many seeing that the beams were secured also said "let us come with
you we will help you build". For, though they had been greatly refreshed, they realized the need to return to the building
of the prophetic church, for that was their first assignment.
Before they reached the meadow they came upon a group that had gotten lost for they had not wanted to follow the
prophets of God but their own way. They too said "let us help you build". These had seen that without the greater
company of prophets, nothing would be accomplished. They too were welcomed with mercy and grace.
So likewise said the people of the meadow "let us help you build". For though they had enjoyed the peace and joy of the
meadow, they too had seen something was missing from their lives. They longed to renew the fellowship with their
brethren, and see the great house built. They all returned as a very large company to build the prophetic church of God.
See Scriptures: Matthew 20:l-16, Luke 15:11-24

TEARS
By Celia R. Okhuysen - USA
[A dream, interpretation and commentarry.]
President Clinton, Mrs. Clinton, Chelsea and I1 were strolling together in a park-like setting.2 It was a pleasant, sunny,
mild day as we casually chatted in a relaxed atmosphere. We wore light summer apparel.3 Chelsea stepped out of sight
for a moment and returned, holding a small and tender potted plant in her hands.4 She liked the plant, and I continued
walking with her a few feet ahead of the Clintons while the three of us admired5 the plant she carried. A few moments
later, she turned right and walked down a path with her plant, disappearing from view.6 The Clintons and I continued
chatting as we arrived at a dwelling place7 which we entered.
In the next scene a stout, casually dressed, black complexion man,8 approximately fifty years old with greying short hair,
sat opposite me while I stood. There was a small empty round table9 between us which was low in height.10 Mrs. Clinton
sat at my left between the man and myself. A stiff and somber black silhouette of President Clinton sat at my right.
Although he sat opposite Mrs. Clinton, he sat sideways with his back toward me, facing away from Mrs. Clinton and
looking straight ahead past the man’s left side.11 Strangely, he seemed to be "out of the picture."12 She, on the other
hand, never did acknowledge the President’s shadowy presence across from her.
Mrs. Clinton began to cry softly as she looked up and asked me a question . I responded by telling her how much Jesus
loved her, and also explained God’s gift of eternal life to her.13 As I continued speaking, she began to cry harder, almost
in fear, with tears running down her cheeks. Her eyes became very wide, displaying several red rings in each white of her
eyes surrounding the iris,14 with a questioned facial expression as she explained something to me which I did not
understand.15 She would occasionally turn and speak with the man sitting across from me while becoming increasingly
anxious. As hard as she was crying by now, however, not once did she hang her head down, or hold her hands up to
shelter her wet tearful face, or make an effort to dry her eyes. She seemed to almost be crying in defiance.16
Throughout this entire scene the President did not move. His black17 statuesque presence sat very still, approximately
four feet apart from the three of us in uncharacteristic and total silence.
Meanwhile, the man displayed a polite pretense18 of agreement with what I had to say about God’s gift of salvation. In a
subtle and restrained manner he also pretended to sympathize with Mrs. Clinton. However, he did not offer her a word of
comfort, nor were his attitudes genuine and sincere.19 Mrs. Clinton’s "target" eyes remained protruded and became
bloodshot as she cried without ceasing while the President’s strange silence continued and the man’s false pretenses
persisted. I remained standing in their midst,20 observing all three of them for some time. Mrs. Clinton seemed so alone,
and appeared to be in a peculiar desperate state.
***********
This dream21 seems to indicate a series of events. Chelsea has left her parents to start a new life at college. Some of
the President’s personal and political affairs continue to allege unethical and embarrassing evidence against him.22 And
now it appears that Mrs. Clinton will be grieving alone. (Or does her strange crying behavior represent something else?)
This evidently indicates that something will eventually go wrong for her and the President. He is too uncharacteristically
silent. Could this black silent shadow of President Clinton represent the death of his presidency? Or perhaps his own
death as a "sitting" president? Does his "silence" represent a departure of some kind? Is he a memory?
I23 witnessed the Lord Jesus Christ to Mrs. Clinton during her anguish. This seems to indicate that a servant of the Lord
will be sent to comfort and guide her to Christ. (Why is she alone receiving the message of eternal life and comfort?) The
greying black complexion man represents an old deceitful presence of longstanding in her life, masking falsehoods.
Outwardly he appears to agree with the message of the Light, God’s Word, but in reality Mrs. Clinton has been guided by
his dark counsel. His position in this scene is placed as sitting opposite me while I stand: Darkness24 sits in
opposition25 to the Light.26
Mrs. Clinton did not stop crying. This seems to indicate that she remains in distress.27 It appears that she does not
accept the peace and comfort offered her. Apparently, for the present time she rejected hearing and accepting the Word
of God which would give her peace, strength and great comfort in her moment of distress.
************
COMMENTS:
1) "I" represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in the world. It apparently is at the side of the
President and Mrs. Clinton.
2) White House grounds.
3) Evidently the Summer/Fall of 1997
4) A small tender plant: the beginning of a new life.
5) Approval of her decision to begin a new life.
6) She departed for college.
7) The White House.
8) A child of Darkness. (1 Thes. 5:5)
9) Gathered around an empty table depicts a setting where discussions take place and decisions are made.
10) Low expectation.
11) He would not be participating in the discussion as he seemed to be "beyond" us.
12) A shadow of the past.
13) "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but
that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not
believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
(Jn. 3:16-18) For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Rom 10:13) And this is the
testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who
does not have the Son of God does not have life. (1 Jn. 5:11,12) Nor is there salvation in any other, for there
is no other name under heaven given among men by which (Jesus Christ) we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
14) Her eyes now protruded her eye sockets and took on the form of miniature "bull’s eye" targets. If the
eyes are the windows to the soul, would this mean that her soul is being targeted (pursued) for good or evil?
(For good by the Light—the Word of God (truth), or for evil by the counsel of Darkness—deceit?)
15) What communion has light with darkness? (2 Cor. 6:14)
16) This was a strange crying scene that almost seemed to imply strong overtones of justification.
17) The color black is an ominous sign of death. But in which sense? The presidency or the person?
18) He expressed an attitude of polite annoyance.
19) He was deceiving in his manners, yet quite nonchalant. He was quite sure of himself.
20) God’s Word is the Standard of Truth, the Light, which shines in the midst of a lost and hopeless world.
21) This dream occurred on October 22, 1996, thirteen days before the Presidential Election of November
5, 1996. (Thirteen is the number of rebellion; disobedience; opposition to authority.)
22) If allegations against the President prove to be true, it appears that he will not remain in office for the
full four years of his second term. Much prayer by the Church is urged for VP Gore and the nation.
23) As the person "I" in the context of witnessing to Mrs. Clinton, it seems that a member of the Body of
Christ—the Church—will be called upon by the Lord to take the message of God’s love and mercy to her.
The Holy Spirit’s guidance will eventually lead whomever the Lord appoints to directly share His love and
free gift of eternal life with Mrs. Clinton. How then shall they (unbelievers) call on Him in whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear
without a preacher? And how shall they (Believers) preach unless they are sent? ... So then faith (by the
unbeliever) comes by hearing and hearing by the (preaching of the) word of God. (Rom. 10:14,15,17)
24) Sin.
25) Rebellion.
26) Divine authority; divine spiritual truth.
27) Mrs. Clinton appears to be facing more than just anguish. The presence of Light to her right and
Darkness to her left represents a strong spiritual climate encompassing her soul. She will be offered the gift
of Eternal Life. Much prayer support is urged by the Church for Mrs. Clinton who will be in great need of
strong faith, strength and divine guidance to enable her to accept Christ as her Savior and Lord.
***********
NOTE: After receiving this dream, just prior to the 1996 Presidential Elections, I wrote it down, wondering if
it indicated that President Clinton was not going to be renominated. At that time, I did not receive or hear
anything in my spirit about what to do with it, so I filed the dream away. When the President won the
election, I began to wonder what it meant. During the spring of 1997, this dream would occasionally surface
in my spirit with a conviction to pray for both President and Mrs. Clinton. I began to do so. While viewing
and listening to media coverage throughout the rest of the year regarding mounting personal allegations
and embarrassments about President Clinton’s moral character, as well as dwelling on occasional thoughts
of a possible terrorist attack against the President, this dream began to take on a life of its own. And
because of the Middle-East volatility, I began to focus more on a terrorist’s attack against the President.
I have prayed, and continue to pray, for his safety and for his salvation.
While in prayer about this dream during the fall of 1997, I received its interpretation and then
understood that this is a spiritual dream which focuses on Mrs. Clinton’s need to hear about the love and
mercy of God. Upon a review of this dream, the reader will notice that the President is completely "out of
the picture" and the central figure is Mrs. Clinton. The President’s stiffness and total silence seem to
portray a strange departure that has come to pass. The Lord led me to understand that prayer and
comfort will be particularly needed for her and not for the President at that particular point and at that
crucial time.
The Holy Spirit guided me to lay the dream aside at the beginning of November and to return to it in
January. I presumed that it was due to the approaching holiday season, so I did. Furthermore, I also thought
that posting this type of "theme dream" at that particular time of the year was most inappropriate. A strong
undercurrent began to flow through my spirit about this dream shortly after the Holidays and I earnestly
began to seek the Lord on the matter, as well as when to post it on the Web. I heard the Lord say "WAIT"
during the day on Monday, January 19. This was the day that the media reported the alleged relationship
between the President and the White House intern. I heard it on TV at noon.
A few days later (Thursday, the 22nd), I saw the following vision: From a view above I saw a very large
black (see No. 17) whirlpool swirling quickly counterclockwise. Suddenly, I saw President Clinton fall into
it without even doing a full revolution in the swirl. He was swallowed up instantly in the whirlpool. As I
saw him disappear, I clearly heard in my spirit, "Your sin will find you out." (Num. 32:23) This scripture
has repeatedly echoed in my spirit these last few days. It appears that the President’s fall and disappearance
are swift and imminent.
I would once again like to call your attention to Mrs. Clinton. No words could possibly describe what she or
daughter Chelsea must be going through. They are in great need of sympathy, compassion and prayer.
Needless to say, the President is also in DESPERATE need of prayer. The Church of Jesus Christ is not
called to declare judgment or cynicism toward anyone. Particularly at a time like this. The Church is
commanded to love, forgive and to pray for others. "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority ..." (1 Tim. 2:1,2) "Pray
for those who spitefully (offensive to the point of abusing one’s confidence) use you." (Lk. 6:28) "A new
commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you... By this all will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another." (Jn. 13:34,35) "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to
them likewise. But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love
them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
And if you lend (give) to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners
lend (give) to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend (give), hoping for nothing
in return; and your reward will be great and you will be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and
evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn
not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give (love, mercy and compassion), and it
will be given (returned) to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put
(rewarded) into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you." (Lk. 6:31-
38) "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. For by your words you will be justified, and by your
words you will be condemned."
(Mat. 12:34,37) (See James Chapter 3)
***********
PERSONAL OBSERVATION: If the White House intern sexual misconduct allegations are proven true, how
like the Sovereign God of all creation to humiliate and bring President Clinton down by the woman’s canal
which the President has attacked through legislation to destroy the fruit of the womb by abortion.
"For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing ... before the sun." (2 Sam. 12:12) (January 24, 1998)

Teshuvah And The Transgressions

Bob Neumann
THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT is the agent of repentance. We know and accept that no one can get to the FATHER except
through the SON. "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE....'', but we forget that no man can come to repentance
and salvation through the BLOOD of THE LAMB(PESACH) unless the SPIRIT(RUACH and SHAVUOT) draws them.
What we never were taught was that all these images of new testament Christianity are based on the prophetic 'shadows'
of the FEASTS as MANIFESTED in our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
TESHUVAH is the PERIOD, or if you are a dispensationalist, DISPENSATION of GRACE. (Call it the Church AGE) And
the main purpose for this as Peter taught in:
Acts 2:
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall
dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall
prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of
smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the
Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles
and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: (KJV)
THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT speaks to us in dreams and visions because HE HAS BEEN poured out to make us turn away
from our transgressions.
Job 33 states it clearly...
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Physical and spiritual death can be held at bay by THE MIGHTY RIGHT HAND of the FATHER if we listen to HIS VOICE
and repent, turn away, and return.
One of the greatest tragedies in all of scripture is the failure of King Solomon to follow YHVH, in spite of direct revelation
and WISDOM. So far the failure of ''the church'' to notice that they walk in Solomon's arrogant and self righteous steps
makes these final days critical.
The Apostate Laodicean church goes out of their way to water down the Gospel of THE KINGDOM and substitute what
will tickle the most ears. They preach revival without repentance by sometimes preaching remorse without 'turning from
your wicked ways'. They preach restoration without redemption, buying back what you 'gave away'. That is the whole
rationale of scriptural JUBILEE. And finally they preach healing without dying to self.
This is evidenced by the abuse of 2 Chron 7:14....
I need to ask a serious question. How many of you start a statement or a conversation with the word "if''? so why would
GOD?
King Solomon was already walking away from GOD prior to the completion of the TEMPLE. the work was completed
when....the Seventh Month.....and the FEASTS where the reason for the ''dedication ceremony''. only Solomon was not
right with YHVH. But our GOD made a covenant with HIS SERVANT DAVID, and GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES. The full
story begins in Chapter 5....
1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all
the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he
among the treasures of the house of God.
2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of
the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of
David, which is Zion.
3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh
month. .......
12......, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in
praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and
instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that
then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
This was ROSH HA SHANAH, and THE GLORY FILLED HIS HOUSE, and Ch 6 has old SOLOMON'S great prayer. It
proves he knew what GOD wanted but never did it. 2 Chron 7:14 is FATHER GOD repeating SOLOMON'S words to him
as a last warning and prophecy.
36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver
them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in
the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they
have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the
city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and
maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is
made in this place.
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests,
O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
Verses 38 and 39 are the key. When a sinful people who have been carried away into captivity finally wake up, come to
their senses and finally repent GOD will be FAITHFUL.
Solomon's Prayer.
SELAH.
Now GOD speaks....
2 Chronicles 7:
10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad
and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel
his people.
11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's
heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have
chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send
pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and
mine heart shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I
have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; (KJV)
Now this is important. the GLORY came down on ROSH HA SHANNAH. Then the fire fell and burned up the sacrifice
YOM KIPPUR. And now THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT speaks on the 23rd day of the seventh month, the next to last day of
the FEAST of TABERNACLES, SUCCOT. Check out what JESUS taught on that day in the TEMPLE.
All the people in Jerusalem returned to their tents. Why use a tent in a city? Because they were obeying the instructions
for SUCCOT, living seven days in booths/'tents'/'succots. If you excuse my bad attempt at HEBREW.
GOD spoke the LAST TIME to unrepentant Solomon. This should be the highest point in SOLOMON'S Reign, only it
isn't, let's look again here....
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have
chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send
pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
GOD follows the pattern from JOB and speaks to Solomon at night, and says 'I HEARD YOUR PRAYERS.
So when I send draught, AMOS 8

And when I send locusts, Joel
And then send pestilence, REV 9
Then 'if my people.....'
But it takes major calamity to befall these people to turn them to GOD....
How bad must it get here in American Babylon to force 'HIS PEOPLE 'to repent and return?
JESUS warned those in Laodicea....
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down
with my Father in his throne.
22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
So we the remnant intercede and fast and weep and mourn, but the WORD is clear.
Revelation 6:
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun
became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is
shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved
out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty
men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the
throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation 9:
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their
hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:
which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 16:
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these
plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness;
and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds.
TESHUVAH is the last chance to come to our senses, to repent and return to a loving FATHER who SENT HIS LAMB.
And THE LAMB sent the SPIRIT....
now we weep and pray. for we are marked...

Testimony And Witness

Paula M. Cavu
TESTIMONY AND WITNESS OF GOD'S CALLING INTO THE DAYS OF THE "JOSEPH PROPHETIC MOVEMENT"
WHICH ARE THE DAYS OF GREAT ILLUMINATION FOR GOD'S PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED INTO THE
PROCESSION OF THE MANIFESTATION OF "KINGS SITTING IN THE THRONE OF DAVID." Testimony by. Paula M.
Cavu
The following is an interesting testimony about the interaction of dreams and visions with real life happenings that were
prophetic towards the move / outpouring of God's Spirit in the time of great divine enlightenment that will begin to go forth
in 1998.
GOD'S CALLING INTO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE HIDDEN LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLISM IN A DREAM:
In a dream in 1981, I was asked to go and take a meeting at a church. I did not have time to prepare anything but I just
went. The people had filled the church by the time I arrived. We progressed through praise and worship and then I was
called up to minister. As I walked up I was totally trusting the Holy Spirit to reveal things to teach as I just opened my
mouth. This was the way of ministering that I had cultivated in my walk with the Holy Ghost. I was confident that all will
be well because the Holy Spirit has always been faithful.
Being young in the ministry I was quite excited and was very enthusiastic to get going in ministering by the revelation of
God. I asked the Lord for a scripture and I got Mark 11:10 in my mind. I then asked for someone in the congregation to
stand up and read Mark 11:10. No one volunteered so I asked again. Still no one stood up. I pointed to a man and asked
him to read the scripture. He replied that he didn't have a Bible. I pointed to another person and he said that he couldn't
read. I was getting apprehensive about the progress of the meeting by now. I spied out a lady with her Bible opened so I
asked her to read the passage. She made out to read but she fell silent with a curious look on her face as if she couldn't
read it.
In desperation I picked up my Bible, turned to Mark 11:10 to read and I was astounded. I couldn't read the Bible either.
Instead of seeing words in the Bible I was seeing symbols, rather like the hieroglyphic writing system on walls of ancient
Egypt. Prominent were the faces of a lamb, an ox, a lion, an eagle and a man.
THE MEANING OF THE DREAM:
The meaning of the dream had to do with the revelation of God or the revelation of Jesus Christ from the hidden language
of the symbolism of the Bible and especially from the Old Testament. This language may also be called the language of
the Spirit because it is only the Holy Spirit who can accurately reveal the meaning of the hidden things of God. This is
also the language of the books of the prophets and the language of dreams and visions.
Mark 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Taking the dream and Mark 11:10 together we can come up with the message that the days of great enlightenment, in
which the hidden things of God's Word will be revealed, will be the days of the restoration of the New Testament David
type heart and ministry into the churches.
Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again
the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith
the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
THE DREAM AND PROPHECY ENCAPSULATED IN THE BIRTH OF A SON:
My son, David Mark Cavu, was named after the prophecy of this dream on the date of his birth on 15 January 1986.
Interestingly, without any intentions whatsoever, Daystar Ministry's web site was posted on the Internet for the first time
on 15 January 1997.
Most interesting of all is the fact that the prophecies from dreams towards the end of 1997 and the beginning of 1998
which pointed to 1998 as the year in which the "Joseph Prophets" are going to go forth. Particularly of note was Vicki
Camp's dream about the 12 year old boy who threw a lantern of illumination to Vicki, which was posted in D&V List
No.41. This dream was discussed at length in subsequent D&V Lists and ended with a confirmation prophecy by
Kenneth Hagin posted on D&V List No.44.
Well, my son David Mark Cavu turned 12 years old on 15 January 1998!
DREAM BY PAULA M. CAVU ON 30 JULY 1995 ABOUT DAVID MARK CAVU WHEN SUE WAS 3 MONTHS
PREGNANT WITH HIM:
Sue had gone in to the hospital to have a baby. I was watching from a distant and I was able to see into the birthing
room. I could see that Sue had an easy delivery and so I rushed down to the room to see. There I saw this healthy and
beautiful baby. I wondered whether it was a girl or a boy and when I saw that it was a boy I cried out, "It's a boy!" The
baby was so healthy and beautiful that I told Sue to make sure that he is marked in case someone switched babies.
[When David was born he had a "flesh tag" below each ear. One tag was removed with a surgical cotton tied to it until it
fell off.]
Scene changed.
A large group of people, including me, was riding on horses in a large procession and going towards the city and
courtyard of a ruler, somewhat like in ancient Africa or Asia. I was proud of the boy child who was riding in a prominent
position in the procession of important royal men and I kept my eyes on him.
The people on horses in the procession were men of war and were all dressed in black. The people who stood in
formation on the side of the road along the way to the city also wore black clothes. Many had black head coverings. We
were then all gathered together on the ground of the courtyard of the ruler.
INTERPRETATION:
In the second part of the dream my son David (the boy child) was identified with important royal men of war riding in a
procession into the city of the ruler. Perhaps the key to opening up the meaning of the dream is in the following scripture:
Jer 22:1 Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Jer 22:2 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy
servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
Jer 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the
oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in
this place.
Jer 22:4 For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of
David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
David Mark Cavu is therefore identified with the manifestation of " kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots
and on horses" and entering in by the gates of the house (city) of God. The prophecy of the dream could then be pointing
to the gathering together unto King Jesus of the "Joseph Prophetic people." This company of people could be the
manifestation of the sons of God or the manifestation of "kings sitting upon the throne of David" in a time of spiritual
warfare and judgment of God (black clothing).

Time for Judgment:

Thomas Gibson
Thus says the Lord, forever there has been a life in this universe. And it is Me, says the Lord. there has always been a
time for the judgment of the wicked. You have now entered into the year of 98, and during this year you will begin to see
the wrath and judgment of God poured out among mankind.
In the years to follow it shall become greater and greater. Some of it will come very suddenly, and some of it not so
suddenly.
Now all things that this earth trusts in will be trod under by the Lord God of Heaven till there is only one thing to trust in,
and that is the true God of all.
The gods this world serves, (the money, the technology), everything that they have lived for, built up and stood for, I shall
trod down, says the Lord. For the time has come for judgment to fall.

Think Globally! Act Locally!

Jeff Beacham
(c)1997, Jeff Beacham
When Jesus declared in Matthew 18:19 that "....if two agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be
done for them by my father in heaven." The Greek word used for 'agree' in Strongs Concordance means "to sound
together, be in accord, in harmony or in a symphony ". The idea is that of one group or corporate body all acting
under the direction of one head. "First the Natural...." In the natural, there has been a tremendous push in recent
years for the globalisation of human society. This process is seen as the answer to the problems of the human
condition. It is proposed that if we could have a single global economy it would be an answer to the overnight
fluctuation of the different currency rates of the world where millions of dollars are lost or gained on a few
percentage points. One of the causes of war is disputes over territory, so the answer would seem to be to dissolve
sovereignty and let's just have a one world nation state, thus eliminating that reason for a lot of the world's suffering.
And religiously; if we could have a single religion for the whole world, that would eliminate another major cause of
wars.
This sounds so noble and altruistic but the only problem with this utopian scenario is that God has not been included
in the equation. History has shown that when God is excluded from human affairs then societies always spiral
downwards, spiritually, socially and economically. From a humanistic point of view globalisation seems to be the
answer but from a spiritual point of view it would bring us back full circle to a modern day 'Babel'.
This concept was supported by the July 7th 1997 issue of Time Magazine which featured a major article called
'Back to Babel'. It talked about half of the world's languages being faced with extinction because of globalisation, a
shift back to a single global language, a move regarded with great suspicion by God once before. "....and then the
Spiritual" From a spiritual point of view, God, speaking through Paul, declares in Galatians 3:28 that true unity is the
inheritance of the sons and daughters of God. Paul suggests that racial unity is a real possibility because in the
Kingdom of God there is "neither Jew nor Greek". There is freedom from bondage when he says "neither slave nor
free" and gender unity is declared by Paul by saying there is "neither male nor female but all are one in Christ".
The slogan "think globally, act locally" has often been the catch phrase of the New World Order, but this can be
applied more effectively from a spiritual point of view. Our Universal God We serve a global God, who has a global
vision for global evangelisation, for He is not willing that "...any should perish". In recent years through powerful
moves of the Holy Spirit in different parts of the world God has been restoring His body and moving in the lives of
individuals, cleaning them up and renewing their passion for the King and His kingdom. What began as something
small in certain humble places is now moving into corporate revival which for the first time in history has the potential
to touch the whole world. "Stretch those Boundaries"
As part of this process we have been receiving many reports of God releasing provision of large facilities to key
leaders in key areas around the world in recent times. It seems that these facilities are way beyond the present needs
of these leaders. For example, Gerald Coates, a Christian leader in England, was recently given an aircraft hanger.
So what is God doing here? Many would say that God is preparing us for a massive harvest and as part of this
process He is releasing 'bigger barns' to those whom He knows He can entrust the harvest to. Often we have
observed that these leaders have had their visions consolidated, as we receive many reports of people whose
agendas don't match up with the vision of a particular church or ministry leaving those ministries. It seems that God
may be "cleaning house". In the process of preparing to receive a new harvest into a barn it would make sense that
first we should clean out our house and prepare it for the new influx of grain. "Dem Bones... Dem Bones... Dem...
Dry Bones" The process that comes to mind to adequately fit what God seems to be presently doing is the vision of
the valley of dry bones spoken about in Ezekiel Ch 37. God asked the prophet, "Can these bones live?" and the
prophet throws it back onto God and says "...you know they can". Henceforth we see the bones are brought
together, sinews are put on them, flesh is put on them and the breath of life is breathed into them and they stand up
as a mighty army. Further down in the chapter God interprets the primary purpose of this prophecy to represent the
restoration of the nation of Israel. But in a spiritual sense we can say the Church, as the spiritual Israel, has been
greatly restored in recent years and is ready now in many places to stand up and be a corporate entity. "The Big
Gig"
Once I attended a concert by a symphony orchestra and arrived early to get a good seat but as I walked in all the
musicians were still tuning up. It was a very discordant sound, uncoordinated and literally sounding like a bag of cats.
However, just before the concert began, the conductor walked up to the podium, tapped it with his baton, there was
silence for a moment, and when the orchestra began to play, it was one of the most beautiful sounds that I have ever
heard. A lot of what God has been doing in recent times may not have sounded all good and maybe not looked
good. To the natural eye, how people are affected by manifestations of the Holy Spirit would seem to be a bit
chaotic and uncoordinated, but I believe that God has had us in the 'tuning-up' stage. But soon, the master
conductor, Jesus Himself, will step up to the podium and the real concert will begin. The mother of all harvests will
begin to come in. Let us be encouraged to keep a balance between God's global picture for this world and not be
too taken up with our own local problems. On the other hand let us not ignore our local responsibilities. There has
never been a more effective way of reaching people than through friendship evangelism. It all starts in your own
neighbourhood. Revival starts with YOU.

The Gates Of Goshen

Bob Neumann
Dear Bill,
This week has been a very ''interesting'' one. The highlight being a chance to talk with first Marsha Burns and later
Bill Burns. While talking with Bill a couple of strange things occurred that I would have tried to let pass except one
that has now repeated itself three times since the original. I will be sending this letter and the ''vision'' to them when I
complete it and send to you. Call it "advanced visions 101....KEEPING IT SHORT and SIMPLE''.
While on the phone with Bill Burns I suddenly was standing in the path to GOSHEN where it narrowed. Just as in
the vision you posted THE KING stood with me and suddenly handed me THE ROD of IRON. And I was back
on the phone with Brother BURNS. I believed I mumbled some inane responses to our good brother. But the
shakes never left till long after the phone call ended. Simple ''deja vu'' we could call it except it repeated itself
Thursday at @ 3 am in the ER where I worked. Short and simple with nothing added.
Then came Friday Morning after getting home from a long hard night it expanded.
Again I stood in the narrow path and THE KING stood before me. And as the times before I was handed THE
ROD of IRON. In the original vision it was the only point I did not mention. I am no more comfortable now as I was
then as I remember the coldness and the weight in my hands. But this time my MASTER spoke: "I HAVE GIVEN
YOU MY ROD AS MORE THAN A SYMBOL OF AUTHORITY. IT IS A PLEDGE OF MY COVENANT
TO YOU. TO DO THE WORK I PLACE IN YOUR HANDS REQUIRES THE EXPENDITURE OF ALL
THAT WAS AND IS YOU SHEMUEL. ALREADY OTHERS SEE MY AUTHORITY UPON YOU YET
YOU STILL DEFER."
With that HE stepped down the path away from GOSHEN and I quickly followed. Suddenly there was a turn in the
path and there stood a great city.
"BEHOLD BABYLON'', stated my KING. "SHORTLY WHEN THE STORM COME MANY WILL FLEE
TOWARD GOSHEN, FEW WILL FIND IT UNLESS THERE ARE THOSE WILLING TO LEAD THEM."
As I looked at the city HE turned HIS BACK to the great city and faced me.
"THAT IS THE STRONGHOLD OF THE ENEMY AND AGAINST THEM YOU WILL PREVAIL. FOR MY
COVENANT STANDS AS STRONGLY NOW AS WHEN I SPOKE IT TO YOUR FATHER ABRAHAM.
YOU WILL STAND FOR THE SAKE OF MY PEOPLE FIRM WITHIN MY COVENANT.''
And as HE finished speaking I began to hear the scripture about the gate of the enemy.
Genesis 22:
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the
heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my
voice. (KJV)
And suddenly we were at the narrow path and MY MASTER stood before me, arms crossed and HIS EYES
sparkled with laughter.
"IS MY ROD TOO HEAVY FOR YOU TO CARRY SHEMUEL?"
"No LORD", I replied, "Just doesn't seem right".
and as HE LAUGHED I felt utterly at peace for the first time.
"I STILL AM THE KING, SHEMUEL. IF I CHOOSE TO LET MY SERVANTS CARRY MY WEAPONS
AND MY TREASURES WHO DO YOU THINK WOULD OBJECT?''
"I GAVE YOU MY ROD TO USE FOR MY REASONS AND NOT YOURS. IF THE FACT BOTHERS
ANYONE I WILL HAPPILY DISCUSS WITH THEM MY WILL AND MY FATHER'S PURPOSES.
BABYLON WILL BE LESS THAN EAGER TO LOSE MANY IT PRESENTLY HOLDS IN THE
BONDAGES OF DECEPTION AND DELUSION. SO I GIVE YOU IT'S GATE THAT THEY CAN NOT
CLOSE.''
and suddenly HE turned and we now looked at GOSHEN. There in GOSHEN were many already but there was
much room for those who will come. As I looked into GOSHEN I sensed we were standing in deep shadow yet all
was bright in GOSHEN.
"THE DARKNESS IS DEEP EVERYWHERE BUT IN GOSHEN. THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW THE
LIGHT AND STAND BENEATH MY BANNER WILL LEAD THE BLINDED OUT OF THE DARKNESS
OF THE INDIVIDUAL BABYLONS THAT YOU SEE EVERYDAY. MANY HAVE HEARD MY VOICE
SPEAK OF GOSHEN. AND MANY INTERPRET IT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THAT IS NOT YOUR
PROBLEM OLD DOG. YOU ARE AS ALWAYS TO SIMPLY HEAR AND OBEY. IT IS TO YOU I
ENTRUST THE GATES OF GOSHEN. IT IS YOU WHO HOLD THE WEAPON TO BREAK THE TEETH
OF THE ENEMY. IT IS YOU WHO HOLDS THE BAR THAT SEALS THE GATES OF GOSHEN TO THE
ENEMY. "
"I GAVE TO ALL A TWO EDGED SWORD. EACH CHOOSES HOW TO WIELD IT. I HAVE SET ASIDE
GOSHEN FOR A REASON AND FOR A SEASON. MANY KNOW NOT THE LOGOS, SO DON'T BE
ALARMED WHEN THEY STUMBLE OVER THE RHEMA.''
We stood outside of GOSHEN and I pondered all I had heard. and just as suddenly we stood alone on the narrow
path.
"SOME SAY THE STORM COMES, THAT THE FAMINE WILL SOON BEGIN. THEY DECEIVE
THEMSELVES SHEMUEL". with that I heard this scripture in my spirit.....
Genesis 45:
10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy
children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy
household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that
speaketh unto you. (KJV)
Five is the number of GRACE....in the midst of the deep darkness there is a ''season of GRACE'' for the
CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT. A time of ''rest''...."SHABOT". Just as it is WRITTEN....
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: (KJV)
"THOSE WHO COME WITHIN YOUR GATES WILL COME BECAUSE MY SPIRIT WILL DRAW THEM
OUT OF BABYLON AND DIRECT THEM TO THOSE WHO ARE IN COVENANT WITH ME WHO
HAVE GOSHEN IN THEIR HEART AND UNDER THEIR FEET. I HAVE PREPARED CITIES OF REFUGE
ALL OVER THE WORLD IN MY FATHER'S NAME. I HAVE CHOSEN YOU TO GUARD THE PLACE I
HAVE CALLED GOSHEN''.
"MANY HEAR 'GOSHEN' AND THINK OF JOSEPH. THEY PREPARE. MANY HEAR 'GOSHEN' AND
THINK MOSES AND THEY AWAIT THE PLAGUES. MANY HEAR 'GOSHEN' AND DO NOTHING.
LET THIS NOT BOTHER YOU''.
and suddenly I was back in ''the real world''. and I thought it was over. and suddenly I heard HIS
LAUGHTER...."AND DON'T FORGET OLD DOG I KNOW WHERE I LEFT MY ROD....WHEN I WANT
IT BACK I KNOW WHO HAS IT"....
yes, I had to laugh too....but I still had the shakes.
HE will laugh last

The Harvest
Lorraine Robicheau
While in prayer the other day I had a vision.
I saw the globe (earth). And completely around the globe was stretched a huge net. Then I saw huge hands reach down
and begin to draw up the net. In the net were millions of people. I saw many, many people I knew. Backsliders. Unsaved.
Then I heard the Lord say "I am casting my net on the earth".
Then this morning in prayer, I was weeping for the harvest. I was reading from Jeremiah 40:10 ...."as for you, gather the
juice of the grape, summer fruits, and oil" and I wept for the "summer fruit" to be gathered in. Then I heard "By fall your
basket will be full."
I have been given an opportunity to hold a church service right out in the open at a local flea market, while the market is
open, on Sunday mornings... The vendors and market goers are largely unchurched and it is an incredible opportunity to
take the church to them. The Market owner (who doesn't even believe in God - yet) convinced me to hold the service out
in the open where all could see and hear, rather than in a room upstairs. He even stated that Jesus preached in the
market place (He is Iroquoian Indian and believes Jesus was a great "intellectual"). I had been getting messages from the
Lord for a long time now about this place. My husband has developed a lot of relationships there. I approached this man
with fear and trembling, expecting to have to "convince" him to let me do a service there in an upper room. I am still in
awe because he practically fell over himself to convince me that I should do it.
THE HARVEST IS COMING!!!

The Abortion Issue

Nita Johnson

As far as things the Lord has related to me about the government; for the sake of time and space I will
only briefly share my concerns. Please bear with me!
In 1989, the Lord spoke to me very clearly telling me that America had crossed over a new threshold
and that we would begin to elect our Politicians, not based so much on ability, but rather on whether or
not they believe in abortion. The issue of abortion would become the major focus of presidential
campaigns. Well, that has certainly born out to be true. But, that would only be a beginning.
In 1992, Jesus spoke to me in several dreams. I won't go into a lot of detail as that would take to long.
In addition some were very painful and are still difficult to share. But the some and substance of what I
saw was that the liberals would squeeze the moderates out of Washington. (Moderates and not
Conservatives was the word Jesus used.) Then I saw with what vehemence the liberals worked to
force the moderates out. Anything from blackmail to overt ties as well as pressure so great that the
moderates would leave to protect their families. Some left because the game had become so cruel
that they could no longer emotionally handle it. So they would get up and walk out saying, "This game
is too cruel for me, I'm out!" The Lord showed me how powerful the Kennedys were. I was unaware of
this as I am politically naive, probably to my shame! I speak of their power because it seemed they,
under the direction of another even more powerful individual (whom I was never allowed to see),
spearheaded the pressure which was forcing so many moderates to give up. Through the course of
many dreams and visions I saw that anyone who believed in the "Pro-life stance" would ultimately
have to walk on egg shells to get anything done. If they didn't, the liberals would personally see to it
that regardless of the consequences, that person would be politically destroyed.
The ultimate end to this transition we are in is very painful to share. I saw a woman standing by the
ocean with a little baby. I saw her go through a short but deliberate decision making process. Then
she set her chin and threw the baby into the sea. I couldn't get to her in time to stop her. You can
imagine my desperation. This is tougher yet - what she did was no longer against the law because the
infant like the elderly and the unborn were now expendable.
Today we hear about a couple of teens in Delaware who murdered their baby. When they returned to
school they make the comment, something to the effect, "We took care of that problem." Perhaps they
wondered what the difference was between discarding the baby from the womb versus discarding a
newborn baby. Whatever the case may be, today we have a law that can deal with this problem. The
day is coming when there will be no law denouncing the murder of newborn babies and babies up to a
year of age. As we look at the current state of things, admittedly we find ourselves shaking our heads
wondering how it was that 20 years ago we didn't know it could be this bad. How could we have ever
guessed the day would come when we would be grieving over "partial birth abortions" in America.
Yet, with broken hearts we weep for the babies that never had a chance.
We all know that the government is corrupt and many of us weep before the Throne on behalf of
change. So, when in the election we saw so many democrats voted out and so many republicans
voted in, I had hope. But, the Lord spoke clearly that I was not to set my hope on this change. God,
and a mighty outpouring of revival, are the only hope left for this country.

The Bride - Chosen For Such A Time As This

Jim Rinker
There are those among us that are chosen vessels of the Lord which are to be firstfruits that will pave the way and lead
many others into the promised land. If you are one of these prepared and chosen vessels, the Lord has a specific
message to you that is found in the book of Esther.
The book of Esther was written during the captivity under the Persian empire. The characters in this story are Vashti,
king of Persia (Ahasuerus), Esther, Mordicai (Esther's uncle), and Haman. The story goes like this:
Vashti (representing those who refuse the Higher call of Christ) was queen in Persia and was called by king Ahasuerus
(representing Jesus) to a feast (representing the wedding feast) but refused to come (Esther 1:12). The king then cut off
Vashti from His presence (Esther 1:19) and sought for a fair virgin that would carry the call of queen with grace and
dignity (Esther 2:2). Esther had neither father nor mother (Esther 2:7). Mordecai became her father when her mother and
father died. This speaks of her coming under the guidance of the eunuch's which are called to prepare the bride. It also
speaks of her coming out from her natural parents (the church) to be adopted by those called to prepare her for the King.
In this we see two distinct callings, those who are called to prepare the bride and those who are called to be the bride.
As we will see later, both will receive a great reward.
Esther found favor in the King's sight (Esther 2:9) but was charged by her uncle Mordecai (representing the spiritual
eunuch's that are to prepare the bride for Christ) not to reveal this to the other Jews (Esther 2:10).
She was first made a fair maiden and dwelt amongst the maidens. After 12 months the king delighted in her over all the
virgins chosen and made her queen over Vashti (Esther 2:17). She was again charged not to reveal this to the other
Jews. Why? She had a call on her life that would ultimately save all the other Jews from destruction by Haman
(represents Satan). If she was revealed to her people too soon, God's plan for His people to be delivered would have been
foiled by the other Jews (because of jealousy and misunderstanding).
Mordecai sat in the kings gate constantly. This is were all those who are spiritual eunuchs sit today, at the kings gate.
Haman was a prince in the land (prince of this world) and wanted reverence from all who he passed by (as does Satan
and those who contain his same nature, which is pride). He passed through the gate were Mordecai sat but Mordecai
would not bow to him (Esther 3:2), and once Haman found out that he was a Jew, sought to exterminate all Jews from
the land (Esther 3:6). This event will soon come to pass as antichrist appears on the scene. Haman then sent letter
throughout the land charging that at a certain set time all Jews would be exterminated from the land.
We find out now why Esther was chosen. Mordecai charged Esther to bid the king in this matter with the Jews and
suggested that she was chosen "for such a time as this" to save her people from destruction.
As queen, Esther first elevates Mordecai in the sight of the king by telling Him how Mordecai foiled a conspiracy to kill
the king at an earlier time. When this was verified by the King's chronicles, the King then sought to exalt Mordecai.
In the meantime, Haman had made gallows to hang Mordecai from because he would not bow to Him. When the King
finds out about this plot to kill Mordecai, the tables are turned on Haman. As the story turns out, Haman gets executed
(antichrist thrown into the lake of fire).
The queen then bids the King to reverse the letters from Haman to exterminate all Jews from the land at an appointed
time and it is rather the Jews adversaries that are killed. Mordecai, becomes ruler over all the provinces of Persia second
only to the king (those who rule and reign with Christ on earth during millenium), and Esther reigns as queen (bride of
Christ).
There are several messages in this story that need to be highlighted. First, we see two specific callings in operation while
the Jews (God's people) are in bondage. One is to raise up a queen (Esther; bride of Christ) that has a call to deliver
those from their adversary (Satan). The second calling are the spiritual eunuch's (Mordecai) who are called to raise up the
bride. The purpose of these high callings, as wee see from the story is to deliver the Jews from their adversaries.
Secondly, these two callings represent God's kingdom government being established. Both of these two callings rule with
the King, as will those who are overcomers now in the millenium. So both Esther and Mordecai have both an immediate
calling and a long range calling on their lives. The immediate call was for Esther and Mordecai to free God's people. The
long range calling (millennial call) was to rule and reign with the King.
Notice from the context of this story that it is from the establishment of God's true government (leadership) that the rest
of the Jews (God's people) are delivered. God's true leadership will always deliver and set at liberty His children.
Thirdly, while Esther was being raised up and later chosen as queen, she was exhorted to keep her favor with the king to
herself and not tell the other Jews. Hindsight is 20/20! The Jews would not have understood her call that time (only after
did they understand) and likewise the exhortation to those being raised up in this hour is that you have been chosen to
free His people but you must keep these things in your heart. Those who are in bondage around you will not understand
until later the reason why the Lord has exalted you in this season.
In conclusion, the Lord is now opening up the scriptures and revealing His hidden messages for the end-time church so
that He may fulfill His plans and purposes for this specific time period through us. Let us be sensitive to the Lord as He
reveals these truth's and ask Him for the wisdom, understanding, and grace to both find and fulfill our calling in this last
hour.

The End Time Anointing

Neville Johnson
During the first week of March 1998 while in a prayer meeting an Angel appeared to me, as I looked at this angel he
waved his hand and a vision appeared to me. In this vision I saw a seven branch golden candlestick and two men on each
side of the candlestick. I turned to the angel and said, what does this mean. The angel immediately said to me turn to
Zechariah 4:3.
Zechariah 4:5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these
be? And I said, No, my lord.
I had just asked the question to the angel. The angel then proceeded to show me the rest of these scriptures in
Zechariah 4.
Zechariah 4:2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candle-stick all
of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps,
which [are] upon the top thereof:
Zechariah 4:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left
[side] thereof.
Zechariah 4:11 Then I answered, and said unto him, What [are] these two olive trees upon the right [side] of
the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof
Zechariah 4:14 Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole
earth.(Moses and Elijah) see Rev I 1.
The angel then said to me, a new anointing is coming to the Church, the seven branch candlestick represents the seven
spirits of the Lord see lsaiah 11:2 this new anointing will be very powerful and will begin to prepare the bride for end-time
ministry. Eventually this company of mighty men will form in the last days into a profound witness in the earth. These
Moses and Elijah companies will usher in the Glorious Apostolic age and the great harvest. This anointing will begin on a
lower plane and gradually increase until it is in full manifestation. Moses represents the Apostolic and Elijah the
prophetic.
Two days after this visitation I saw the vision again and this time the candlestick was descending into the earth. This new
anointing is coming and will eventually culminate in the most glorious move of God that the world has ever seen.

The Fear of the Lord Will Fall

Pricilla Van Sutphin
Received this word 4-10-97
Lo the winter is gone and the rains are past. Spring is here and the time for flowers to bloom. Surely I have heard the
cries of My people. I will honor their prayers and fastings, and even go beyond that ! THOSE WHO'VE BEEN WILLING
TO COUNT THE COST will be blessed beyond compare to what they can imagine.
I'm calling My people to be ONE in Me! I will not tolerate selfish PRIDE and UNFORGIVENESS and I will loose the
voices of conviction and the FEAR OF THE LORD will fall on whole assemblies of people, for judgement begins with the
house of God! And startling miracles will take place to shake the UNBELIEF that pervades many churches. And I will
draw together My elect from the four corners of the earth. I will send boats and ships, planes and trucks, and busloads of
people and provisions to the ends of the earth for the great "HARVEST" and I will empower the "lowly" and humble of
heart and those in whom there is no guile, and I will naturally and SUPERNATURALLY provide all that is needed.
I WILL turn your doubt to confidence and trust.

I WILL turn your selfishness to self-denial and love.
I WILL turn turmoil and confusion to peace.
And the earth will shake with groaning for the Day of the lord is soon at hand.
Total devastation awaits the wicked, so turn your eyes upon Me and see the salvation of the righteousness that will
spring forth. (Is 45:9) For lo the day is long and I will not tarry much longer.
Trim your lamps and keep your oil burning and in full supply for lo the BRIDEGROOM cometh and those found sleeping,
self-involved, and wanting will be left behind......BE NOT DECEIVED.
RENOUNCE all pride and self-sufficiency and all self-reliance. Depend and trust in the Lord your God alone ! Him you
shall hallow. Him you shall fear!! BE AS LITTLE CHILDREN. Unless you become as little children, you will not enter the
kingdom of God.
Do not succumb to the fear of MAN !!!! or the FEAR OF FAILURE!!! I AM the lord and there is no other!!

The Gourd
by Carol Wenrick
This has been a very strange week. I have had this sense of travail in my spirit, although it hasn't come out loud. I sought
the Lord, and He told me it wasn't a personal issue, and it wasn't a family issue. He told me to pray and fast for 3 days
(I'm now completing the second day). He gave me the following word last night: (For some reason I had been led to break
open a gourd and collect the seeds early in the evening.)
"Daughter, through that gourd whose seeds you harvested this evening, there are several spiritual lessons:
1. The gourd is interesting to look at, especially while it is growing on the vine.
2. But the gourd is useless. This type of gourd cannot be eaten. It's shell is too fragile to serve any purpose.
3. You can plant the seeds and grow more useless gourds.
"Such is the activity in much of My church today. It looks good. It is interesting. And in time it may even reproduce, but
the fruit is inedible. The time spent on useless endeavors has greatly increased among My people. There is much
activity, but little fruit that shall last and multiply to any value...mostly wood, hay and stubble.
"I am requiring, ye even demanding, that change comes to My house and My body. I am now even sifting and sorting,"
says God. "There are those who shall never become producers of fruit that will last, because all the good works they do
are labors of the flesh. There are those whom many in My church look at and think, 'They are useless - they do nothing
for the Kingdom of God.' Many of those called 'useless' are My hidden remnant, seeking Me in the night hours in prayer
and praise and worship. In the day hours they are attentive to My whispered directions, responding obediently.
"The first group prefers the honor of men. The second group seeks to know Me. Which group do you wish to belong to?
You cannot be in both - for this issue is of the heart.
"The enemy has been and is setting traps and snares, diversions and detours. Beware! He will try to ensnare you in lots
of 'good things' so you miss Me and those things I desire of you.
"Discipline to a greater measure is needed. Just look at My Bride! She is not ready! She is fat and slothful in many
areas. She has not prepared herself - has not cleansed herself from the dirt of the world. She has not crucified her sinful
nature, nor has she hungered after Me with utter abandon. Her garments are not white. Her virginity has been
compromised. Her heart doesn't pant for Me.
"Oh, My Bride, when will you gaze into My eyes? When will your passion turn from the world and desire Me? What's
happened to that first love we shared? Turn away from the world and material gain. Turn away from the wisdom of man
and seek My true wisdom. Don't you know, My Love, that I adore you and have sacrificed everything to make you My
Own? Don't you know that there is nothing I wouldn't do for you or give to you? (That is to those who love Me
unconditionally for Who I Am.)
"Oh, My Bride, come unto Me. Come unto Me. Turn your hearts toward Me. Don't deny Me," says your God.
"Doesn't My word say we're not to be unequally yoked? My Love, if we were to marry today, we'd be unequally yoked.
Can't you feel My heart breaking for you? Don't you sense My prayers for you, that you might be transformed so we can
become one? Yield, My Love. Yield your all to Me, for time is growing short, and I want My Bride to be complete, full and
ready. Don't delay another day. Yield yourself to Me even this day," says your Lord.
"So many seek their healing, instead of their Healer. So many seek My provision rather than intimacy with The Provider.
There is no safety in the day of terror and the hour of attack except IN ME. There and there alone shall you find your
wisdom, protection, provision, life and health. But there is a journey to reaching this place of safety in Me. It shall cost
you everything - and so few of you are willing to pay the price.
"Oh, My Bride, My heart is grieving. Change while there is still time."
The Lord gave me Jeremiah 17:3. See also verses 5-10.
In Jesus' Love -

THE HAND OF JUDGMENT

David White
"Yes, in the way of Your judgments we have waited for You;… For when Your judgments are in the earth, the
inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn
righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. Lord,
when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see." (Isaiah 26:8, 9-11a)
In 1992, a small group from our church met together for a night of worship and prayer. Later in the evening, I saw a vision
of the outstretched arm of the Lord. What was most noticeable to me was His hand. It was as if the Lord was saying that
in the coming years, He would personally place His hand upon the United States. I believe that God was simply saying
that the church in America would begin to see an increase of the works of His hand in our midst. This has proven to be
true as over the last few years, God has sovereignly and supernaturally placed His hand upon many cities, churches,
ministries, and gatherings where God’s people have met to seek Him. Jesus has been knocking on the doors of many
places, and many have heard His knock, opened the door, and He has come in.
A couple of years after the experience of seeing His hand, I personally witnessed a three week period where God placed
His hand upon the church and city where I was a pastor. Over that three week period over 1,200 people gave their lives to
Jesus Christ in a church where only 150 people met on any given Sunday. After that incredible and unforgettable
experience, someone who I knew and trusted, came to me and told me that before anything had taken place, he had
seen prophetically where God was going to place His hand upon our city and then lift it after three weeks. That is exactly
what happened.
In addition to what we have seen the Lord do over the last few years in many cities across America, I have recently come
to realize that there was another meaning in my seeing the vision of His hand. I believe that God was also saying that He
was also going to place His hand upon this nation for another purpose. He would now place His hand upon this nation in
judgment.
Isaiah 26 says that if God’s judgments are in the land, the inhabitants of that land will learn righteousness. If His
judgments are removed and only grace is shown to the wicked, He said the people would not learn righteousness but
would continue to deal unjustly, or as the Amplified Bible describes, perversely. The Amplified Bible translates the
following verse as, "Though Your hand is lifted high to strike, Lord, they do not see it". (Isaiah 26:11a) Most of America
and even many in the church can not see it, but the Lord, as the Righteous Judge, has His hand lifted up ready to strike.
The Ministry of the Watchman
A well-known and respected evangelist, who often ministered with a prophetic anointing, was speaking in a certain city.
Another minister in that city had asked and arranged to meet with the visiting evangelist. He wanted to ask what the well-
known evangelist thought about a number of prophetic warnings that were currently being given. Many of the prophecies
had to do with dreams and visions some were having about a number of cataclysmic events, or judgments that were said
to be forthcoming upon the United States. When asked if he had any similar visions, the evangelist responded by saying,
"No, I am letting the other ministers have those visions". He went on to say, "I am too busy preaching revival". Now it is
certainly commendable to preach on revival. However, although revival is certainly more desirable, judgment is also
inevitable. The Apostle Paul said, "Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God…" (Romans 11:22)
In speaking about the subject of God’s judgments, Jeremiah said, "Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed
times; And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the
judgment of the Lord." (Jeremiah 8:7) Jeremiah knew that even many of God’s own people would not recognize when His
hand was lifted up ready to strike. Because of this, God has set in the land the ministry of the watchman. "Son of man,
speak to the children of your people, and say to them:’ When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land
take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows
the trumpet and warns the people, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword
comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take
warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. "But if the watchman sees the
sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any
person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’ "So you,
son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and
warn them for Me." (Ezekiel 33:1-7)
The watchman was chosen and raised up from among God’s people, for God’s people. He stood watch over the land so
that he might warn the people when the sword of judgment was coming upon that land. He could not speak from his own
opinion. He had to hear a word from the Lord and then speak a word of warning for the Lord. Those who listened to the
watchman were to heed the warning and prepare so they could survive when the judgment began. If the watchman failed
to warn the people, he was held responsible for their lives because they would not be prepared. If he warned the people
that judgment was coming upon the land, but the people failed to heed the warning and make the necessary preparation,
then they would lose their lives and thus bear the responsibility themselves. Now is the time to prepare for His hand is
lifted high.
Restoration of All Things
The Scriptures confirm that heaven will retain Jesus, "until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken
by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." (Acts 3:20)
Over the last few years, there has been much teaching concerning the restoration of certain truths being restored to the
church. Teaching and preaching these truths is exciting. Yet during, or just preceding these times of great restoration,
will also come times of great trials, difficulties, devastation, and judgment.
One example is found in Amos where we see the promise of the restoration of the tabernacle of David. "On that day I will
raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages;" (Amos 9:11) The tabernacle of David
was a tabernacle of continuous non-stop praise and worship. Before Jesus returns, God is going to restore to the church
the ministry of praise and worship as was present in the tabernacle of David. However, the key to this taking place is
found in understanding the phrase, ‘on that day’. What day is the prophet referring to? The answer is found in the
preceding verses. Amos says, "I saw the Lord standing by the alter, and He said: "Strike the door posts, that the
thresholds may shake, and break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees
from them shall not get away, and he who escapes from them shall not be delivered." (Amos 9:1) The restoration of the
tabernacle of David will occur during a time of judgment upon the land and a time of sifting among God’s people. "Behold,
the eyes of the Lord God are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth;" Yet I will not utterly
destroy the house of Jacob," Says the Lord. "For surely I will command, and will sift the house of Israel among the
nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve; "Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. All the sinners of My people shall
die by the sword, who say, ‘The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us." Following this announcement is when the
prophet says, "On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David," (Amos 9:8-11)
Another example is found in Joel when the promise is initially given of a last day outpouring of the Spirit. "And it shall
come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old
men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; And also on My menservants, and on My maidservants I will
pour out My Spirit in those days. (Joel 2:28-29) This again, is a most exciting promise. However this prophesied last day
outpouring, which is referring to more than what took place on the day of Pentecost, occurs during a time where hearing
God through dreams, visions, and prophecy will be imperative for survival.
Joel says that God will pour out His Spirit, ‘afterward’. The question we should ask is, ‘after what’? This question is
answered as just prior to the promised outpouring Joel says, "Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy
mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand:" (Joel 2:1) Joel
then describes a number of events that will occur on the earth such as plagues, (Joel 1:1-4), famine, (Joel 1:16), raging
fires, (Joel 2:3), and war as a result of sudden invading armies that will not be stopped. "They are not cut down, (halted
by losses). They run to and fro in the city, they climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief." (See Joel
2:1-11)
Many in the church have interpreted Joel’s army as representing God’s people, however in its context, this army is a
foreign invading army used by God to judge a land that has forsaken Him. God’s intention is to use this army to cause
His people to turn from sin and again seek Him. It is in this context that the promise of an outpouring of the Spirit is
given.
Recently a missionary organization reported on an experience that occurred within the underground church in China. A
spy from the government discovered where a group of Christians were regularly gathering for worship. At the conclusion of
one of their meetings, the pastor of this underground church made the announcement that a government spy had been
attending the meetings. The spy’s identity was unknown. The pastor announced to the people that they were going to
meet in a different location beginning with the next meeting. No announcement as to the location was to be made. The
exact location was to be kept a secret. He then challenged the believers to go home and pray, asking God to speak to
them as to where the meeting would be held the next week. The next week everyone who had attended the previous
week’s meeting showed up, except one. As the end of the age approaches, hearing, discerning, and being obedient to
God’s voice will literally mean the difference between life and death..
Another subject that has received a lot of attention in recent years is ‘the glory of the Lord’. The Bible promises that the
glory of the Lord will be seen upon His people. "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen
upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you. This is a wonderful promise and hope for the church in the last days, yet
Isaiah says this will occur when, "darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise
over you, and His glory will be seen upon you." (Isaiah 60:1-2)
The glory of the Lord will be seen upon His people at a time when the deepest darkness will be upon the earth. This will
also be a time of a great harvest coming into the church and when the wealth of the wicked will be given to the righteous.
"The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around, and see:
they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your
side. Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea
shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you." (Isaiah 60:3-5)
In Matthew, Jesus prophesied about the gospel of the Kingdom being preached in every nation on the earth. "And this
gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come."
(Mathew 24:14) Just prior to the walls coming down around the former Soviet Union, I was a part of a team that went in to
preach the gospel in the Ukraine. As we were waiting in the bus outside the gate to the country, the Lord began to speak
to me that we were fulfilling what Jesus had prophesied. Every wall will come down and a door will be opened for the
gospel to be preached in every nation. This will no doubt be a time of the greatest advancement of the Kingdom of God
the church has known. A global harvest of souls will be coming into the Kingdom, the likes of which the world has never
seen. However along with this end time harvest, Jesus also prophesied many other events that would be occurring on the
earth. For example, Jesus said there would be "wars and rumors of wars". He also said that great earthquakes would
occur in many different places around the world. He said there would be severe famine associated with the sudden
emergence of new and unexplainable diseases. He spoke of a time when the world will observe fearful sights in the
heavens, and a coming persecution against the church so intense that even someone’s very own relatives, brothers, and
friends would rise up in betrayal causing some to be put to death. (Luke 21:10-16)
The Righteous Judge
"At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, because of Your righteous judgments." (Psalm 119:62) Midnight is the
darkest hour of the night. The Psalmist is saying that even when it’s the darkest outside, I will rise up and give thanks to
God because He is a Righteous Judge.
Jesus told His disciples, "My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who
sent Me." (John 5:30) Jesus is coming as the Righteous Judge who only does the will of the Father. The Father’s heart is
one whose mercy triumphs over judgment, who desires repentance and redemption. Yet we have to choose whether we
will receive His mercy, or receive His judgments.
"Now therefore, says the Lord, turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning." So rend your
heart, and not your garments; return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
kindness; and He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will leave a blessing behind Him…" (Joel 2:12-14)
Even So, Come, Lord Jesus!
As John, on the Island of Patmos, neared the end of all the Lord had allowed Him to both see and hear, (Rev. 22:8), his
prayer was, "even so, come, Lord Jesus!" (Revelation 22:20)
John saw that for the bride to be prepared for the bridegroom and for history to reach its glorious climax, so also must the
judgments of the Lord be known upon the earth. His prayer was not to ask the Lord to stay His hand of judgment, but as
Jeremiah had know years before, the judgments of the Lord were a necessary part of the plan of God. John’s prayer was
that the Lord, who he had seen was the Righteous Judge, would delay no longer and would quickly come. All the things
that John had seen coming upon the earth did not cause his heart to fear, but rather caused an anticipation for which he
could not wait. "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!"

THE INDIGNATION
Bob Neumann
December 20, 1998
20Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it
were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his
place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain. (KJV) Isaiah 26:20-21
This is the place I found myself at the end of HORSEMEN prophecy (http://ft111.com/p0000022.htm). To say I
have not faired too well the last week is an understatement. Seems like the key word is "indignation". The question is
whose? My answer is ADONAI ZABAOTH'S because of HIS own WORDS to me in the Valley called Gehennah.
Call it a no brainer on my part. Early this morning I once again stood at the GATE of GOSHEN. For those of us in
South Florida this is "THE CHAMBER". In my spirit I was in that place and kept building on it. Psalm 32....
Selah. 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions
unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto
thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
7Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of
deliverance. Selah. 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
Got all 3 selahs in there....and I went to service and intercessory prayer with...
Psalm 141:1-10
1A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a
watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise
wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall
not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 6 When their judges are overthrown in stony
places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. 8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave
not my soul destitute. 9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of
iniquity. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. (KJV)
So, when I was in group prayer I was taken back by the WORD the MOST HIGH leveled me with....
8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the
place Perezuzzah to this day.
Perezuzzah....a great place for your Christmas Pageant....and suddenly I was again dealing with the
INDIGNATION of a HOLY...HOLY...HOLY...GOD. How do I understand the breaking out with my 'hiding
place'. And, I grieved for HIS WORD, was heavy, and I did not understand. So I asked for wisdom and
understanding how this incident was playing out in the place I stood, and for my nation.
I CRIED OUT IN MY DISTRESS.....AND HE ANSWERED ME.....

That is HIS WORD....and HIS PROMISE....here is the answer....SELAH....
MY BELOVED SEEKS TO TAKE THE ARK OF MY GLORY TO ZION WHERE IT BELONGS. IT HAD
BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SHILOH BY LEVITES WHO HAD A GOOD INTENTION, BUT WERE NO
RESPECTORS OF MY INSTRUCTIONS. SO THE SONS OF ELI DIED AS THEY LIVED, DOING WHAT
WAS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES. WHEN DAVID WENT TO RETURN THE ARK OF MY
COVENANT WITH HIS PEOPLE HE WENT TO THE PRIESTS, LEVITES AND THE PARADE WAS SET
UP. THE CART AND OXEN WERE THE FINEST DAVID COULD PROCURE. WHAT HE DID NOT DO
WAS TO SEEK MY WAYS.
DAVID, LIKE ALL MY BELOVEDS, HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE. THEY TRUSTED THAT
THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES MY PRIESTS KNEW MY WAYS. AHIO AND UZZAH WERE THE
SONS OF ABINADAB. THE SONS OF THE HIGH PRIEST. LIKE THE SONS OF LEVI THEY SHOULD
HAVE KNOWN MY LAWS AND FEARED ME. HOPHNI AND PHINNIAS SINNED WANTONLY AND
MY GLORY DEPARTED. UZZAH SINNED IN PRESUMPTION. ALL DIED FOR THEIR SINS. SO WILL
IT NOW AGAIN BE.
MANY WHO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THEIR OWN EYES WITHOUT REGARD OF MY WAYS, WHO
SCORN MY WORD, AND HAVE NO FEAR OF MY NAME SHALL BE DESTROYED. SOME AS THE
SONS OF ELI, OTHERS AS UZZAH. THEY KNOW NOT THEIR PLACE AND TAKE UPON
THEMSELVES MY INDIGNATION.
BUT YOU BELOVED, FEAR NOT, NOR LET YOUR ANGER BE FOOLISHLY KINDLED WHEN I DO
WHAT I HAVE SAID I WOULD DO. I SING TO YOU SONGS OF DELIVERANCE. I HAVE PREPARED
A PLACE OF SAFETY FOR YOU. YET YOU MUST BE IN THAT PLACE. ABIDE IN THE CLOSET
SECRET BETWEEN YOU AND ME.
WHERE IS IT SAFEST YOU MIGHT ASK? AND I TELL YOU THE SAFEST PLACE IS UNDER THE
CLOUD OF MY GLORY. THE SAFEST PLACE IS YOUR STANDING WITH THE STAVES OF MY ARK
RESTING ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
YOU AND THOSE I HAVE ANOINTED AND SANCTIFIED TO CARRY MY GLORY THROUGH THE
WILDERNESS, THROUGH THE WATERS, AND YES, THROUGH THE FIRES THAT ARE AHEAD FOR
YOU. YOU SHALL BE IN THE APPLE OF MY EYE AS YOU LEAD MY CHILDREN OUT OF
BONDAGE AND INTO THE LAND PROMISED. FEW PREPARED THEMSELVES FOR THIS
POSITION...TO STRAIN AND CARRY AS MY CHILDREN DANCE. BUT I SEPARATED YOU TO
MYSELF FOR SERVICE. NOW IS THE TIME OF YOUR TRUE SERVICE UNTO ME.
Seek the LORD while HE may be found....seems there is a time limit...ask David.

THE JEW
Author Unknown
Scattered by God's avenging hand,

Afflicted and forlorn,
Sad wanderers from their pleasant land,
Do Judah's children mourn:
And e'en in Christian countries,
few Breathe thoughts of pity for the Jew.
Yet, listen, Gentile,

do you love the Bible's precious page?
Then let your heart with kindness
move To Israel's heritage;
Who traced those lines of love for you? -
Each sacred writer was a Jew.
And then as years and ages passed,

And nations rose and fell,
Though clouds of darkness oft were cast
O'er captive Israel,
The oracles of God for you
Were kept in safety by the Jew.
And when the great Messiah came

For guilty man to bleed,
He did not take an angel's name,
No - born of Abraham's seed -
Y'shua Jesus, who gave His life for you,
The gentle Saviour was a Jew.
And though His own received Him not,

And turned in pride away,
Whence is the Gentile's happier lot?
Are you more just than they?
No; God in pity turned to you -
Have you no pity for the Jew?
Go, then, and bend the knee to pray

For Israel's ancient race;
Ask the dear Saviour every day
To call them by His grace;
Go, for a debt of love is due
From Christian Gentiles to the Jew.

The beginning of Teshuvah was Aug 22. This is the time of repentance and seeking the Lord before the Jewish New
Year & Day of Atonement on August 24. While I was receiving prayer concerning the unreached peoples in the
Middle East, I had an initial vision of a tiny keyhole. I began to shrink in order to go through this keyhole somewhat
like Alice in Wonderland. As I went through the hole. I saw that the keyhole was actually composed of two serpents
whose heads joined together at the top, but I saw the glory of God on the other side of the serpent keyhole. I was
then given many visions that were sealed up in my spirit. I felt impressed that the spirit of Joshua was needed for the
appropriation and release of the mysteries deposited in the spirit.
On October 7, 1998 during the Feast of Tabernacles/Feast of Fire, a friend and I were traveling south to a series of
invitational meetings that were to last three days. As we were driving and interceding, I had the impression by the
Spirit that I was crushing the head of a serpent. I "knew " it was one of the serpents of the keyhole. I then saw the
Lion of Judah beginning to roar His victory.
The churches we participated with in these meetings have written over them in the Spirit "The church of Philadelphia"
(Rev. 5:5). The teachings given were realigning the Western church attitudes to a more Eastern view of true
character values formed through persecution. The Lord is calling His people to persevere in love, humility, patient
endurance through suffering, with little strength yet keeping to the Word. He has promised that He will keep them
from the hour of trial that is about to come to test those upon the whole earth. Rev 3:7;" Math 16:19; Is. 22:22
"Listen to Me, Oh, House of Judah and House of David,

You who are afar off in the islands and many nations,
I will send for you and I will call for you,
To rise up with vision for the last days,
And possess your inheritance and birthright
I have ordained for you.
With the spirit of grace and supplication,
You will be poured out, (prophetic word)
Zech 12:10.
This scripture describes the key of David’s house and the fulfillment to be had in the inheritance.
The key of David opens the House of David and the House of Judah’s prophetic promises. This is the season to lay
hold of the inheritances that are promised to us. The key of David is given to worshipers with a heart after God these
are those that shall obtain the key to open the Houses thereby appropriating the promised inheritance.
Rev 5:5. The door to the house is Jesus. The only way of opening this door is to go through the crucifixion process
of humiliation and apparent overpowering by the serpent forces. Thus going through the keyhole is an abasement or
diminishing of self life ("the lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low" Ex 21:26b) while the two
serpents that make the keyhole seem to overpower us, the glory of God is through this way. I am crucified through
Christ; I no longer live but Christ lives in me", Gal 2:20. Through the crucified life we will see the glory through
the keyhole. Because of the glory set before Him, He endured the cross, and so because of His overcoming life
through us, we also shall endure that He might be glorified through His church opening the way.
Sunday Oct. 22 I was prompted by the Spirit to wear all black for a spirit of mourning. I had a vision of the Lord
Jesus suffering on the cross. He was so disfigured that you couldn’t identify him. Blood was streaming from the
bottom of the cross. I heard a lion roar an apostolic roar. I saw in heaven a lamb looking as though it had been slain
on a throne with the Lion of Judah. I heard the Lord say to me, "It was the religious spirit that crucified my son." This
will be the spirit that will oppose us and must be overcome to open the seals of the book of revelation for this hour.
This spirit will try to kill our spirit and take our life. The Lord reminds us in Galatians that the religious spirit must be
overcome. These those that say they are Jews (followers of the One True God), but are of the synagogue of Satan.
They claim to have Abraham as their father but they are walking in the law not the spirit of grace, supplication, truth,
and worship.
The House of Judah
How do you know what "House" or "Tribe" you belong to? I prayed 17 years ago asking the Lord what my tribe
was, and He answered me long before I began to understand the significance and the prophetic promises that He
was giving me through the "House." We are the House of the Lord, but regarding our individual destinies, there are
prophecies to take hold. To obtain the promises, we wrestle into a yielding of the Holy Spirit’s working through us,
also known as brokeness. Even as Jacob wrestled with the angel to bless him, so it is currently the season to wrestle
with weapons of praise in a spirit of grace and supplication to have Christ purposes manifested in our lives to His
glory. We must realize our inheritance in order to appropriate it. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew
thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" says the Lord (Jer. 33:3). In addition two passages used for
the lost tribes returning and restored are Jeremiah 3:17-18 and Isaiah 11:12 .
I believe that in the last days the spiritual destiny of those called from the House of Judah and David are
rising to the forefront as a type of ministry, and we will see a natural fulfillment of these prophecies
(prophetic word).
Other scriptures on the Hoses of Judah and David well worth studying are Gen. 49:8-10; Zech 12:3b-6; Ps 60:6 &
7; Ps 2:9; Ps 110:2.
We see in the Word that God has purposed rulership and victory for Judah as they praise Him. Further specific
promises as Jacob was prophesying to Judah are found in Gen. 49:11 & 12. This scripture’s ultimate fulfillment
refers to Our Lord Jesus Christ, but there is a spiritual and physical fulfillment regarding authority given to this tribe
through Messianic fulfillment. Jesus is coming to take rulership over all through the natural line of David. The first
time He came tethering his donkey colt (vs. 11) with meekness washing us in blood and wine, with eyes of the wine
of His love (S of S 5:12), and sacrifice. When He returns again He will come in VICTORY, GREAT POWER, and
HOLY TERROR!
I was given a personal word twelve years ago from the Lord in which the Holy Spirit said to me, "Not until Shiloh
comes will there be restoration." This word was given as I was seeking the Lord about my life’s direction as I was in
great turmoil at the time.
I did not have a clue what this phrase meant, but over the years understanding has been given to me. The coming of
Shiloh is the return of the Lord -- His manifest presence by the Holy Spirit as well as His actual return in Revelation
11-18 as the Rider on the White Horse with the armies of heaven behind Him, fire blazing eyes, multiple diadems, an
Unknown Name, with vestures dipped in blood, named the Word of God, a two-edged sword proceeds from His
mouth, iron scepter in hand, treading the winepress of the wrath of God Almighty. "Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Mat 6:10).
His return this time will be in manifest power and transcendent glory for the great Day of the Lord. Then shall He set
up His kingdom as the "Desire of All Nations" with the coming of Shiloh Is 2:2.
I believe that Zechariah chapters 10-14 is being revealed and fulfilled in these latter days. The entire chapter 10 of
Zechariah is entitled the "Lord will care for Judah" or the "Restoration of Judah.". See Zech. 10:6-9.
The coming restoration process for the "house of David" (Zech 13:1) is described as "third that I will bring into
the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer
them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say. ‘The Lord is our God.’" Zech 13:9. Take heart if
you’re in the refining and purifying process. It is purposed in your lives for complete ownership by God.
The House of David

In 1Sam 1`3:15. Samuel is speaking prophetically to Saul over the appointment of David as King over Israel.
Also see Zech. 12:10; I Chron. 28:4; I Chron. 17:4-6;10b-14; 2 Samuel 7: 11-16.
The house to be built is the Lord’s house built by Messiah Jesus to last forever and ever. But there is also the current
House of David among all who are called no matter how afar they are. Just as the Jew’s have found fulfillment in the
restored promise to return to Israel, so the promises of birthright and inheritances are over the House of Judah and
David in the body of Christ. The house of the Lord which the key of David opens is worship, bringing the ark of His
presence into the people/temple, as the cornerstone-Jesus is placed in His people/ building.
In conjunction with this is the following prophecy from Is 49:6. He says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my
servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light
for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."
The Celtic islands and nations, even those scattered abroad, will rise up with a servant ministry to the nations. Those
who are of the House of David, yes and Judah, and have obtained the key of David they will minister to those Lions
of faith in the houses of the Middle East. And they will bring restoration as servant/rulers to the nations they have
once ruled (prophetic word).
The House of Judah and David will be joined together in an alliance of warfare/worship and governmental authority.
I Kings 12:20. These will be a twofold joining of ministries one of which has David’s prophecies the other Judah’s
prophecies operating in their "houses."
Mysteries and secrets that have been sealed up are being opened up now and made manifest that you may have
understanding of those things that are about to come upon the earth. For it is a day such as never been seen yet nor
shall be again. It is a time of great troubles and great glory about to encompass all the nations and peoples of the
entire earth. There is coming an hour of trial such as the earth has not seen, but I shall keep you from that hour
causing you to triumph in all things. Know this -- that I AM with you even to the end of the age. I will never leave
you nor forsake you, for you are mine as a precious treasure that is in my hand that will not be taken away. Rise up
in confidence, and my glory will be made manifest among the humble and contrite of heart, my love. Fear NOT, be
not afraid for you are my witnesses that I AM GOD and that there is no other!!! (prophetic word)

The KING & His Kingdom

by Jim Wies
"...behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is He who has been born
King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." Matt.
2:1-2
While the wise men recognized Jesus as the promised King of the Jews, He was actually, in fact, King
of Kings and Lord of all. Ps 2:6 prophetically decreed in reference to Jesus: "Yet I have set My King
on My holy hill of Zion." The picture is carried forward in Isaiah's prophesy to show the eventual, total
dominion of the Kingdom of God over all other kingdoms and dominions. "Now it shall come to pass
in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established on the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come
and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; he
will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the
word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Isa 2:2-3
Daniel saw and described it like this. "I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the
Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him
near before Him. Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations,
and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,
and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed. Dan 7:13-14
For those of us who have grown up in a western "democracy" form of government rather than one of
kings and kingdoms, the term kingdom can easily lose it's simple significance. For me, the
interposing of the word "government" for kingdom put it into much clearer perspective. In other words,
the kingdom of God is the government of God. It is the domain in which the King rules, or in other
words, where ever Jesus is Lord.
At His ascension Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me" (Matt.
28:18) The rule of Jesus extends over all. He rules over space. He rules over time and eternity. He
rules over nature, and His rule shall eventually and inevitably extend to every individual, for Scripture
states in Phil. 2:10-11 "at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, ... and that every tongue shall
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Jesus demonstrated his Lordship - His rulership over creation - by turning water to wine; through
bread and fish multiplied; even through His authority over the elements. He commanded the wind and
waves; He exerted authority over demons and the domain of darkness; sickness and disease, etc.
Where Jesus rules, demons flee, sickness is healed and captives are set free. It was interesting that
over and over again when Jesus and the gospel of the kingdom is mentioned together, those things
happened. And of course there are many other characteristics of His reign besides power and
authority over the works of darkness; such as righteousness, peace and joy.
But while He rules sovereignly over all his creation, there remains one domain that, for a time, has
eluded his Lordship, and that, itself only by sovereign permission. That domain is the heart and
volition of man, and thus the "world system" created by man which man had in turn, betrayed to the evil
one.
The Scripture, however, also indicates that through His coming, Jesus bought back that one last, lost
domain, thus being established as Lord of all, once and for all; which now gives the conclusion of the
matter. He is Lord of all! He rules out of Zion. But His kingdom has also been likened to leaven which
slowly and subtly invades and infiltrates the entire loaf of bread. The Kingdom is come, where ever
Jesus is given rule, and that rule in eventual and inevitable. That is why, when Jesus becomes Lord of
our lives, the kingdom has come to our lives. Where Jesus is Lord in the "church" the kingdom of God
has come to the church. Where Jesus is Lord of our eating habits, our financial dealings, our
relationships, THERE, the Kingdom has come. His Kingdom is inevitable. We are all destined to
acknowledge it by the confession of our tongue and the bending of our knee. The fact is, everyone
WILL acknowledge Him as Lord. The choice each one has is to do so willingly now, for which there is
great benefit, or under duress later at the final judgment. Never-the-less, He is Lord! Glory to the
KING!

The Lion From The Tribe Of Judah

Nita Johnson
This article is reprinted form Prophetic Insight and Family Focus Issue 14, the Newsletter of World for
Jesus Ministries, Inc. MSC #402, 497 N. Clovis Ave, Clovis CA 93611-0373
While ministering in Indianapolis in July, I was suddenly taken to heaven where I saw the coming forth
of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He was at first fearful to behold, which I expressed to the Lord who,
incidentally was standing beside me. Admittedly however, He was also it seemed the most beautiful
Creature I had ever seen. He is symbolic of a particular office of our Lord, so it was little wonder that
He was so magnificent. He was wearing a most glorious crown. When I expressed my fear the Lord
removed it by placing His peace in my heart. I knew this too was a prophetic statement. To the
unrepentant, His coming will be a fearful thing. To the repentant He will be an image of peace.
On August 21, while in prayer, God again opened the spiritual veil. Crouched down in front of me, I
again saw the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He had a crown on His head. Suddenly He threw back His
head and roared. The words were immediately spoken: "He roars, and the nations are shaken. The
nations tremble at the sound of His voice. He roars and His judgments are spiraled at the nations of
the world. But, He is a refuge for His people in the time of trouble." As the Great Lion roared, my
whole being was filled with the fear of the Lord. After this brief opening of the veil, I felt strongly
compelled to took up pertinent scriptures regarding the Lion of the tribe of Judah. This is what I
learned.
Genesis. 49:8-12 Says, He is government,
Numbers 23:24 Teaches that He brings judgment to His enemies. Proverbs 19:12 The King's wrath is
like the roaring of a lion.
Jeremiah. 4:6-8; 49:19; Lam. 3: 1 O,l 1; Hosea 5:14, 11:10-12 says the Lion destroys His enemies.
In Amos 3:1-8 we find a strong admonition of warning. It says in verse 4 "Will a lion roar in the forest
when he has no prey? will a young lion cry out in his den if he have taken nothing?" Vs 6) "Shall a
trumpet be blown in the city and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in the city and the Lord
hath not done it?" Vs 7) "Surely the Lord God will do nothing but he revealeth it unto his servants the
prophets. The Lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
" (kJ)
I have seen the Lion of Judah roar, now I cannot help but prophesy. I am blowing the trumpet in the city
of God and to all who will hear in the nations. Once again, we see in this a strong warning about the
impending perils of the near future. God is going to bring forth continued judgment through exposure
of sin, calamities, sick ness and even death on the unrepentant. I have spent some time now seeking
the Lord about the events that are to occur in the fall. What I have been sharing with you in this letter is
a brief compilation of His answers. This fall beginning with Rosh Hashanah we will see a new level of
judgments begin to fall in the nations of the world. What we are now seeing take place with regard to
the White House is an example of what is to be included in the list of judgments. What is going on with
our president is designed to make us all fear the mighty hand of God. What He is doing with him, He
will do with many before He is finished. People in state and local governments, ministers, CEOs
Doctors, lawyers, the saved and the unsaved alike, the list will go on and on; none will be exempt from
the dealings of our Holy God. God will not be mocked. Those who sow to the flesh will reap God's
judgement, even unto destruction if there is no repentance. The Lion shall roar, and the nations shall
tremble! So, this is no time to as Christians gloat over the exposure of wrong doing regarding, our
President. Rather, it is a time to pray for him and his family, and our country, and it is a time to search
our own hearts to see to it that we are not offending God, lest we too experience His judgments!
I have been given other visions regarding what will take place beginning this fall. However, I am not
going to share them with you now. I will wait until the next newsletter.
The great revival is growing closer. We need it, we must continue to pray for it, as the Lord sincerely
wants to grant it. It will be a time of great refreshing for all who are willing to jump into the waters.

The Maori Sidestep

Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies on 6th Nov, 1998. As with all prophetic words,
these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where Bible passages are
referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the interpretation of the passage,
but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
During the recent Kevin Prosch Concert in Adelaide, South Australia, the Lord spoke to me after the
performance of the support artist, Joe Vogels. Joe is a Kiwi, and shared of his Maori friends in
Queensland who recently did a Haka (war dance) to the Lord, which inspired his first song - a haka
with the words in Maori "Children Love God". The Haka is famous in Rugby Union as the All Blacks
(NZ's National Side) perform it before each test match. The Concert WENT OFF, and the Lord spoke
three things to me very clearly.
1. We Australians need to repent of our attitude towards New Zealand - we see them as the "small
brother" who is to be indulged and not taken seriously. The Lord is going to use New Zealand
powerfully to impact the world when the Next Wave hits, and some things are going to be uniquely
theirs. Australians tend to focus on the prophecies as though they concern only Australia, and forget
that the ANZAC spirit encapsulates New Zealand too. God will use New Zealand to teach us important
things.
2. The church needs to learn to do the haka, as a spiritual warfare tool. The haka is a very in-your-face
challenge, that says to an opponent, "we are not going to back down. If you want to defeat us, you're
going to have to work hard for it". Anyone who has followed the All Blacks in the last 20 years knows
that they are always the team to beat in Rugby, and they are never an easy game. Even on the
backfoot, they attack, and quickly turn a seeming rout into a try for themselves.
The church needs to learn to say to the Enemy, "we are taking this ground and you are going to have
to fight tooth and nail for it." We need more Haka's of our own.
3. The church also needs to learn the "Maori Sidestep". In Rugby, when a player comes to tackle the
ball carrier, he tries to palm off the attack and sidestep the tackler. This causes the runner to lose
momentum, and change direction. The church has tended to do this with the attacks of the Enemy. We
are constantly sidestepping his probes, and effectively being turned aside from out original path.
The "Maori sidestep" was first used by the New Zealanders, and occurs when a player doesn't try to
avoid the tackler, but charges him head-on, bumps off the defender, and generally tramples him as he
runs over the top - still on his original course. The classic example was recently when a small English
winger tried to tackle All-Black winger Jonah Lomu (120 Kg, 100m in 10.5 secs). He did everything
right: body position, feet spaced, back straight, but Lomu simply ran him over and scored. The Church
needs to realise that the enemy is defeated already, and he is little. We are anointed by the Lord for
the task He has set us, and we are not to deviate from that path, even to avoid the Enemy's attacks.
Instead, we trample him under foot, with eight aluminium studs per boot, and fulfil our objective.
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet (Rom. 16:20).
I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the
enemy; nothing will harm you (Luke 10:19)

The Marks of an Apostle

Bryan Hupperts
Hi, SheepTrax!
Recently, I sat in on an excellent, very spirited Bible study where the teacher (our Associate Pastor
Bob Wells) debated what the marks of an apostle were. To some, you had to be personally called by
Jesus. To others, you had to be a physical eyewitness of the resurrection of Jesus, plant churches,
and perform miracles. To others, no matter what your claim, there were only twelve (eleven plus one)
and then the office ceased.
Apostles were marked by many common themes: being divinely set apart to serve God and govern
the church, they worked healings and miracles, and seemed to be able to function in all of the other
four offices in the church.
If you believe the office of the apostle has passed from functionality, consider Revelation 2:2 "'I know
your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested
those who call themselves apostles but are not, and found them to be false." In my opinion, this seems
to indicate that there was a test to determine who was, and who wasn't, an apostle - which seems to
further indicate that the office continued after the twelve original apostles died. (The New Testament
refers to 23 separate Apostles in total).
With so many voices making so many claims, I thought I would put together a job description of a
biblical apostle as a kind of litmus test to see what we should expect from the life and ministry of a
modern apostle.
I maintain that the marks of a true apostle are on his back. Eleven of the twelve apostles were
martyred for their faith. Here are a few words and phrases pulled from the New Testament to describe
these holy men of God who were (and are?) "The sent ones:" · Scum of the earth · We were so utterly,
unbearably crushed that we despaired of life itself · But the high priest rose up and all who were with
him, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and filled with jealousy they arrested the apostles and put
them in the common prison. · And when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged
them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. · So Peter was kept in prison · They stoned
Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. · They seized Paul and Silas and
dragged them into the market place before the rulers… The crowd joined in attacking them; and the
magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. And when they had
inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison… he put them into the inner prison and
fastened their feet in the stocks. · A plot was made against him · "We have strictly bound ourselves by
an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul." · Far more imprisonments, with countless beatings,
and often near death · He killed James the brother of John with the sword · He was actually carried by
the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd; for the mob of the people followed, crying, "Away
with him! · I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; · For I wrote you out of much
affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
always carrying in the body the death of Jesus · For while we live we are always being given up to
death for Jesus' sake · So death is at work in us · But as servants of God we commend ourselves in
every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments,
tumults, labors, watching, hunger… in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are
treated as impostors, and yet are true… as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we
live; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich;
as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. · Our bodies had no rest but we were afflicted at
every turn--fighting without and fear within. · Or the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses,
insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. · For this
gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, and therefore I suffer as I do. · At my first
defense no one took my part; all deserted me. · But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength to
proclaim the message fully, that all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion's mouth. ·
For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. I have fought the
good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
While many are claiming to be great in the kingdom of God, and claim to have the authority and
miracles to back their claims, I say this: look to their backs and see the scars. If there are none, they
do not stand with these New Testament men who laid down their lives for the furtherance of the cause
of Christ. And rest assured, if you are called to such a holy undertaking, if the scars aren't there yet,
they will be. Such is the price for the ministry of an apostle.
I end this with a simple, sobering prophetic word I feel the Lord gave me for the Western church that is
currently wrangling and disputing about who gets to be "honored" as an Apostle.
"The Western church is known more for her stars than her scars. But she will soon be known more for
her scars than her stars."

The Mote
Dawn Larsen
September 4th 1998.

The mote, the mote, I can't use you to take the mote out of your brother's eye because you won't take the beam out of
your own. Who will judge the earth with Me in that day? Only the righteous will stand with Me, I say. You will not stand
with Me that day because you have not been refined in My fire. I say to you now, if and only if you will come under
judgement NOW, will you stand with Me in that day to be judges over the land. There needs be a people I can trust to
begin to remove the motes out of the eyes of My people. I look to and fro to find a righteous man who has cleansed his
heart of ALL unrighteousness. Is it a strange thing that you do not minister My righteousness? It is because you are not
righteous. It is because you have secret sins. Come clean before Me now. All you have hidden I will reveal. My people
long for righteousness. If you do not long for righteousness, you are not one of My own, but THINK you are one of My
own. It is very clear in My Word that sin cannot stand before a RIGHTEOUS GOD.
Deception has overtaken you as a thief in the night. One sin here, one lie there, a little rationalization. One lump of leaven
and sin in the camp and before you know it, YOU ARE SPOILED by the deceitfulness of sin. That is why you cannot see
deception. When you are cleansed, I will show you deception in the hearts of men, and you will reach in with My
righteousness and pluck it out of them, for you will be used as a refining fire to consume all the chaff. There will not be
left standing one who is not totally and completely cleansed in that day. You think that because your sins have not found
you out that they do not exist. LOOK AT YOUR LEADER. As his judgement draws near, so does the judgement of this
people. For I begin with the leaders. I will show a sign to all men. That YOU SHALL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. Do not do
as Bill Clinton, to deny and deceive. For any attempt to deceive will now begin to be met with SWIFT judgement.
For I love My people and am wooing them in a different manner than ever before. The door is beginning to close and all
who desire to enter in to My inner chamber MUST hurry and put on their wedding attire from their head to their toes; not
one thing missing, for My Bride WILL BE PURE and SPOTLESS. I will then use you to call the guests to the wedding
feast of the LAMB.
When you are indeed found in Me, I can then use you to pull out the unclean spirits out of those who have hidden them in
their bosom and you will have My POWER to do so, because you will not be afraid of your own sins finding you out and
be so busy covering yourself and being your own provider and your own way maker and your OWN GOD! Repent this
day, I say REPENT this day and I will show you the next and the next and the next thing for you to REPENT of because
surely you are of unclean lips and an unclean heart and My coals will purify you if you but humble yourself NOW.
You will then be able to give forth My truth because you have removed the lie from your own heart. You will be able to
come forth as gold because you have burned up the hay, wood, and stubble. You will call forth righteousness in the land
because you have purified your soul in My presence. You will be My spokesman instead of a mere shadow of what a
follower of Christ should be. Can you not see? It is because you have chosen to believe a lie. You cannot feel My heart
for My people for you have hardened your heart through the deceitfulness of sin. When PURITY ARISES, SO SHALL MY
PEOPLE BE ABLE TO CALL FORTH PURITY IN OTHERS AND THEY SHALL REPENT AND ARISE TO WALK IN
NEWNESS OF LIFE.
GO FORTH THEN and begin to walk in the power of your God for you are not walking in your own righteousness, but the
very righteousness that was imputed to you through My death and resurrection.
There is a way that seemeth RIGHT unto a man but the way thereof is death. If you are right in your own eyes, beware -
for your own righteousness is the path of destruction. You cannot give because you have FEAR of having nothing; so you
get and get and get no matter how unscrupulous the means and then you have the nerve to call it blessing! I say to you
no, it is a curse! A curse has come upon the land and I will remove it whether My people are willing or not. Because I will
have NONE stand before Me that are not found in MY righteousness. The rest will be as slain corpses rotting in the sun,
as far as the eye can see, so shall be the day of My wrath upon a people who will not hear and repent. So will you be
those who will stand and declare my RIGHTEOUSNESS? Begin by releasing the deception out of you own heart! Let go
of all your fears and "what ifs" to see if I can be God to you! To see if My power is great enough to hold you and sustain
you and meet your needs. The problem with My people is that their wants have FAR exceeded their NEEDS! Believe Me,
then your needs will be met. Do not try to hang on to the things that you think you need to meet your needs. I cannot be
God to you until you let go and LET me be GOD! DO NOT CHEAT, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT LIE! DO NOT BE
GREEDY. DO NOT give out of a selfish heart to receive something in return. DO NOT love to be loved. DO NOT make a
mockery of your God. GIVE TO the needy, the poor, the widows, the orphans, the homeless, the suffering; GIVE GIVE
GIVE. The very word strikes fear in the heart of those who have deception in their closets. You cannot hide from an all-
seeing GOD.
I will walk among you through My prophets. I will look you in the eye. I will see and reveal your sin and the fear of God
will come upon ALL as I cast judgement upon a people who have betrayed Me with their lies and deceits and who have
not truthfully represented their God to a lost and dying world. JUDGEMENT BEGINS TODAY JUDGEMENT begins in the
house of the LORD, The LORD of HOSTS mighty and terrible in WAR. A warrior like no other, with vengeance upon those
whose sin is NOT CLEANSED by the blood of the Spotless One.
Come now oh people, come now all you who will be called by MY NAME! And I will forgive your sins and cleanse you
and send you forth in the power and MIGHT of a Terrible God. You want to hear I am loving, you want to hear I am kind
and forgiving; but, ONLY TO THOSE who REPENT! Only to those who are covered in my blood. DO NOT think a secret
sin is covered in MY BLOOD! Only if you have repented of it, turned away, ceased to do evil. Joy will spring forth from a
pure heart. Love will come forth from a pure heart. A fountain does not bring forth both bitter and sweet. You cannot
expect to be My anointed ones when your cistern is polluted. Go, Now to My House. Go Now to My House. Go Now to
My House and get down on your knees and begin to call upon Me for mercy, to lift the deception off your eyes that you
might SEE the error of your ways and the lies and deceit in your heart. For I am a righteous GOD and I am coming for
My Righteous Ones.

The Mystery Religions

Bryan Hupperts
Deut. 32: 5 -19."He forsook God who made him, and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation. They stirred him
to jealousy with strange gods; with abominable practices they provoked him to anger. They sacrificed to
demons which were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come in of late, whom
your fathers had never dreaded. You were unmindful of the Rock that begot you, and you forgot the God who
gave you birth."
October 30, 1998 Hi,
Countries, like companies, are often founded for expressed purposes. My country, the United States of America, was
founded as a Christian nation with covenants cut to honor and give glory to the Living God. Before the Mayflower settlers
left their ship, they made a covenant with God to honor him in the land.
Today, Halloween is the second biggest (un)-holiday in the USA eclipsed only by the worship of Mammon celebration,
which we call Christmas. So what ever happened to honoring God? How could we as a nation have strayed so far from
our promises to God?
God has blessed this country as he has no other. In most every field of study and industry, God has blessed us by
opening our minds to understand the mysteries of His creation, and has magnified us greatly.
There comes a place when the Spirit of God will stop striving with a people and he will lift the hedge of protection that he
gives; and the nation that rejects the Lord comes to a place of folly. We begin to reap the fruit of our sins. Sow to the
wind, and you'll reap the whirlwind. Proverbs 1:27 "When panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a
whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you…" is an accurate description of what's on the moral and cultural
horizon for the USA.
The passage from Deuteronomy quoted is about a godly nation that forsakes God and details their eventual fate. I was
listening to the radio the other day and heard a young woman singing a song called (I think) "Working On The
Mysteries." The song, beautiful and lilting, was a call to the old pagan religions "before Jesus came." I have never been
so shocked at anything as I was the lyric of that otherwise beautiful song. It was a chilling reality check in a siren's song
for this backslidden nation.
So what happens to a nation that rejects God? Read the horrors of today's newspaper and see. Job 27:20 "Terrors
overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off." We are a nation in fear of the stock market, the Middle
East, terrorists, children that kill, AIDS, and on and on. Honoring strange gods provokes the true God to jealousy.
Where are we spiritually? Revelation 17:5 "And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: "Babylon the great,
mother of harlots and of earth's abominations." The Book of Revelation foretells of the rise of the ancient mystery
religions in the Last Days before Jesus comes. They are a final releasing of demons of the earth to draw worship away
from the Lord. They are morally filthy, spiritual darkening forces posing as angels of light.
The mystery religions worshiped the gods of nature and forces. The antichrist is described in part in Daniel 11:36 "And
the king shall do according to his will; he shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak
astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished." This same spirit is
now at work on the earth challenging God for the souls of men.
Instead of celebrations of marriage, we have gay pride days springing up all over the world as militant homosexuals
declare their independence of God's moral law. Because man was designed to be a worshiping being, that void has to be
filled by something. Ever wonder why psychics and witches are suddenly so popular? They have "spiritual answers" that
do not call people to moral repentance. They speak by the god of forces, that is, the devil.
Our Vice-President Al Gore speaks loving, fondly of honoring Gaia, the mother Goddess of the earth declaring that we
must save the planet because we are her children. Excuse me? It's still the Father's earth, thank you. He, like our
President, once ran on a pro-life platform but changed his position to get into national office. I grieve for a man who, for
the love of power, walked away from God and now honors and protects trees - while promoting the murder of defenseless
unborn babies.
The mystery religions are working in the church, too. There is a hellish move in evangelic churches to unite all church by
the year 2000. To do this means I have to dump doctrine and "only love Jesus." Loving Jesus means loving truth, too; He
is the Truth.
The Bible says, 1 John 1:7 "If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the
blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." Fellowship is based on walking in the Light, not dumping Biblical
doctrine. We who are walking in the light already have fellowship and are already united! So what's going on with this
sudden thrust to "make us one"?
We are speeding towards a one-world religion where tolerance is the watchword, the unifying theme that will unite us
all… but not under Jesus' Lordship. I do not now, nor will I ever, accept any man as the head of the church. The Bible
declares that Jesus alone is the Head of the church! The last time, under Constantine, when Christianity was suddenly
embraced, look at the torturous nightmare that ensued. Are we really going to try to mix the mystery religions with a
watered down Gospel again? Did the Luther's Reformation teach us nothing?
The mystery religions speak of a Christ spirit and accept every spiritual movement on the earth, except Judaism and
Christianity. Why? Because we honor the One God and correctly call the many gods for what they are, demons.
Babylon is called "mystery; Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth's abominations." She is a mother church
with lots of little daughters who are, in spirit, just like herself. God calls her a harlot. So what is a harlot, also called a
whore? She is a woman who gives herself to many, not to one. Is it any wonder that God compares idolatry to adultery?
We are called to give ourselves to the One God, not to the many gods.
Beloved, meditate on the Scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance. "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak
not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20. These are dangerous days that call for the
fear of the Lord and godly discernment. There is great spiritual deception abounding but we do not need to fear IF we are
walking in the Light of God's Truth.
The wise will be warned and strengthened by Daniel 11:32. "He (the antichrist) shall seduce with flattery those who
violate the covenant; but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action."
Finally, Ephesians 6:13. "Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand."
The mystery religions are calling to us to unite as one; God calls us to stand - alone if necessary, but to stand firm in
Him.

The Net
Michael Morris
May 17, 1998:
"I have a Net, a Net to cast upon the land----a Net for deliverance, healing, mending, and salvation. The Net is you---My
body! See your hands held together---for I proclaim to you this day, you are My hands, My feet, My eyes, and My voice.
Who is there upon the land to touch the hurting?
Who is there to walk this land and find My lost sheep?
Who is there to see as I see---to weep for the lost?
And who is there to speak the words of My Life?
I am calling out to you this day, even to command you to become of one heart, one mind, one purpose, and one Spirit.
Love for one another is the key to the strength of the Net. If your love wavers or is compromised the net will begin to
weaken and some will slip through the Net. Each one of you has a specific calling in the maintenance, strengthening,
and preservation of the Net. And with this calling the necessary gifts, talents and personalities given by Me for My glory.
Be encouraged and encourage one another My children----it is now and has always been My heart to save and deliver. It
is why I have been preparing you. Forget not to be zealous in your love, care and concern for one another. The time
comes when I will cast My Net upon the land---Be ready and remain alert."

The Perversion Of A True Anointing

Bob Neumann
One of the most difficult images we must force ourselves to acknowledge is the issue of a perversion of a Holy
Anointing/Divine Calling. There are those who may be disturbed that anyone would even dare state that such a thing is
possible. But they are in great need of being awakened and told to search the WORD. THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT has
given us images, both good and bad, for us to learn and to understand. Such is this specific lesson out of the book of
Judges.... We all know the concept of prophetic shadows that rise up in the OT and point forward to JESUS. This story is
a "what could have been", making it an "antitype" of what JESUS WAS NOT. And this character is a Judge named
Samson. What is interesting is his story begins in chapter 13; not overly auspicious. And appears after Israel had
suffered for 40 years at the hands of the Philistines. It all really begins with THE ANGEL OF THE LORD telling an
unnamed barren woman that she would bear a son; but it was conditional.
4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a
Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Strange isn't it, that an angel would show up one day and things would happen. Of course the woman had to tell her
husband.
6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance
was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told
he me his name:
Interestingly this is one of the few "angelic visitations" recorded in the whole OT. Yet today such occurrences seem to be
becoming quite common. But few of 'our' angels would be described as "very terrible" which makes you wonder.
7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink,
neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
This was the original idea; and we had better remember this fact.
8 Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come
again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat
in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath
appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man
that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
Theoretically this could have been any old angel until HE stated those two WORDS I AM. And we have a stronger
understanding of THE ANGEL OF THE LORD.
But the story continues.

12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do
unto him?
13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat
any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
Let's look at this line again and try to understand that GOD is really asking more of one person here than in any other
story within the bible, Jeremiah, David, Daniel, Samuel, Moses, whoever. And it is a woman; hubby is just along for the
ride.
14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat
any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made
ready a kid for thee.
16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if
thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel
of the LORD.
17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass
we may do thee honour?
18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
This makes us think of a certain white horse rider in Rev 19 whose name no one knows but is KING OF KINGS and
LORD OF LORDS.
19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did
wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.

20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD
ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the
ground.
21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was
an angel of the LORD.
22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Regrettably this is how man always reacts to HIS PRESENCE.... and usually a little late in the story. Now I end with vs.
22.....Ol' Samson is born in vs. 24 where it simply states. "and the LORD BLESSED him".
Chapters 14 and 15 cover 20 years of ministry, if you call war and mayhem as ministry. Which at that time was
necessary. While chapters 14 and 15 describe his problems with pagan women it appears GOD used it to make war on
the Philistines. This changes in chapter 16, and certain harlots/loose women.
Friend Samson has a lust problem, and we know sin makes you stupid. Ol' Samson gets dumber as the story goes on.
One has to wonder how "dead asleep" he was for lil' Delilah to tie him up several times, braid his hair to a loom shuttle,
and eventually shave his head. In spite of his adultery has our Nazarite broken his vow by drinking himself into a stupor?
It seems the case. Either way the greatly blessed Samson has a rude awakening in Judges 16:20
20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go
out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Samson was later blinded and tied to the Philistine grist mill to serve the enemy of GOD. And this is our image for our
antitype. A man/woman is anointed and serving GOD powerfully. Then one day sin enters in and the giftings of the
anointing are taken for granted. And because the 'person' continues to be used in "signs and wonders" their sin is winked
upon. They are often spiritually deaf to the words of warning that come repeatedly. So when the enemy strikes the
spiritual eyes that are plucked out had been clouded long time earlier.
Today many once anointed people tread the saints of GOD in Satan's grist mill working completely in the flesh...in their
own strength because they stopped hearing GOD long ago. And they are equally blind to all that is of GOD. And I wished
the story ended there but it does not. Although the end is dramatic it only proves GOD can use even unrepentant,
degenerate, reprobate children.....
28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen
me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Regrettably there is no repentance in this prayer, just fleshly vengeance.
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne
up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the
house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death
were more than they which he slew in his life.
And GOD obliged him and he died avenging himself. Strange story in many ways but the fact that Samson never knew
when GOD departed and assumed he had his strength when he did not. Likewise too many today are busily building their
ministries unaware of where FATHER GOD is in their lives.
Were they anointed? Maybe, but they don't have it any more.
Even after 20 years of good service, or even more. Just ask KING SAUL.

The President and First Lady

Jim Black & Wayne Barto
THE PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST LADY PORTRAY THE SPIRITS OF "AHAB" AND "JEZEBEL", WHICH
SYMBOLICALLY REPRESENT THE SPIRIT OF IDOLATRY AND THE SPIRIT OF CONTROL (WHICH IS COMPOSED
OF BOTH WITCHCRAFT AND RELIGION) THAT THE BODY OF CHRIST IN GENERAL HAS ALLOWED INTO ITS
RANKS (ESPECIALLY REGARDING THOSE IN AUTHORITY). Dream by Jim Black on 2 April 1998 and interpretation by
Wayne Barto. Taken from Dreams and Visions Mailing List.
Here is an interpretation for your dream. I think that this dream concerning the President and First Lady is primarily
symbolic for the Body of Christ. It may even have a broader application for leaders in authority. I suppose it is possible
that there is a specific application directly for the President and First Lady, however I do not care to speculate on this. If
so, it would confirm some things that I believe God showed me nearly 2 ? years ago! Thanks for sending it! I am
interjecting into the text for ease in following the interpretation.
>>> <jamesbla@flash.net> 04/03 9:17 AM >>>
Dream on 4/2/98
I was in church which was also where I lived. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary came in the door and offered to
answer questions from the congregation.
======================================
The initial opening is very symbolic to the whole interpretation of this dream about a "visit" by the President. The "church
where I lived" is representative of the Body of Christ in general which has allowed deception into its ranks (especially
regarding those in authority). This deception has primarily manifested itself in the forms of "Ahab" and "Jezebel" which
symbolically represent the spirit of idolatry and the spirit of control (which is composed of both witchcraft and religion).
This is what the President and First Lady represent in this dream.
=======================================
There were no other people with the President. Especially noticeable by their absence were the secret service agents
assigned to protect the President.
=======================================
These two prinicpalities operating in the church are usually accompanied by many other smaller powers, forces and
demons which would be represented by the secret service agents assigned to protect the First Family. In actuality the
smaller, powers, forces and demons run interference for the major principalities by creating a "shield" of confusion and
deception and a number of other different problems to "mask" and hide the true nature of what is really going on. In your
dream, these masking agents are not present. I believe that this is due to the ability of the prophetic to cut through the
enemy's first wave of defense and to discern the true nature of the deception of these major principalities. As seen later
in this dream, you represent the true prophetic element that God is raising up in the church to unmask what is really
going on in the Body of Christ.
==================================
The congregation were all children of various ages. There were a few teens and no other adults that I saw. The children
were excited that the President of the USA was standing in front of them.
==================================
The fact that all the church attendees in the congregation were children speaks of the general immaturity of the Body of
Christ under current conditions. Because of this immaturity, they are not able to perceive or discern the nature of the
deception in their midst. The excitement is real to them as they represent the spiritually immature who look to man for
leadership, guidance and answers. This visit by the president is viewed as a wonderful opportunity to receive "a word" for
their condition. Those in this immature condition are also typically caught up in the pride of life and the love of this
present world which is synonymous with the spirit of idolatry or the spirit of Ahab (represented by Mr. Clinton in your
dream).
==================================
President Clinton went up the platform ready for the first question while Hillary came and sat down beside me. I began to
ask questions regarding morals and ethics. Every question elicited the same response from Hillary, "You are not allowed
to ask that question"
==================================
You as the only adult in the congregation represent the true prophetic anointing God is raising up. This is readily
recognized by the Jezebel spirit (in the dream represented by Hillary) which comes over to sit next to you and to keep
you under control. You were hitting the "nail on the head" so to speak with your questions and this elicited a controlling
response from Hillary. As long as the prophets do not touch the sensitive issues and expose the work of the enemy in
the Body of Christ there will be peace - however when they step out of this bound and speak the truth in love the enemy
will make an overt attempt to control and silence this. Jezebel detests the prophets as they expose deception and sin
and call people to repentance. This causes her to lose the control she has and maintains through the idolatries of her
husband Ahab. You are about to see this in the rest of this dream.
===============================
I finally switched to political issues. The response was the same. In exasperation I said, "What kind of President is not
accountable"? I heard again, "You are not allowed to ask that question". Between questions, President Clinton would
move towards the edge of the platform and Hillary would look stern and signal him to move back towards the center of the
platform.
===============================
Here you touch on one of the major problems in the body of Christ when you question the President about "political
issues". The leaders of the current religious system are typically not accountable to anyone! It appears that the
President (representing the leadership of the church) would like to address these issues (and perhaps others) as he
steps forward, but the controlling spirit of Jezebel will not allow this to happen as she directs Mr. Clinton to go back to
center stage again. The spirit of idolatry has taken center stage in the Body of Christ, is forced to stay there under the
influence of Jezebel and is supported in this position in many ways by the current leadership in the Body. In many cases
it is really not their "choice" to allow this to happen but are being held in this position by the controlling and manipulating
spirit of Jezebel acting through witchcraft and religion. This deception is so great and takes so many different forms and
shapes that without the perception of God's prophetic people - it would continue to go on unmasked. The perception of
the true nature of the problems by the prophetic element in the church, however, will continue to be of little effect until
leadership is brought into a system of accountability. This in turn will ultimately allow the tumbling of the idolatries that
have been allowed to build up in the present church system and cause Jezebel to lose her foothold of authority to control
the Body of Christ.
=================================
I finally indicated that I had no further questions. President Clinton smiled and jumped off of the platform and began to
play with the children.
=================================
Without a system of accountability, God's prophetic voices will recognize the futility of questioning the "system" and will
have a tendency to "back off" from exposing the truth. When the "pressure" and "focus" of the prophetic word is taken off
of the spirit of idolatry, it is free to "play with the children" of the Body and continue the deception. This part of the dream
emphasizes the need for the prophets to come forth and persevere in speaking forth and standing for the truth. It also
points out the need for the Body of Christ to begin to recognize and give credence to the prophetic voice that God is
raising up the midst of the Body.
==================================
I began to show Hillary around the House. When we came to the living room she immediately sat down in a comfortable
chair and kicked her shoes off. We began to visit. After a few minutes I said, "It is obvious to me that you are the brains
in your family". An alarmed look crossed her face and then she smiled. At that point she jumped up and said, "I have got
to go check on Billy".
===================================
I believe the "house" you are talking about is the "House of God" which the Body of Christ is meant to dwell in. This is
significant in that true prophet's are always concerned with preparing the way for the Lord and creating a dwelling place
for His habitation. Again, in this dream you represent God's prophetic element. It is also obvious from this portion of the
dream, that the spirit of Jezebel is already familiar with the "house" and in fact is looking for a place in the house to
comfortably "kick-off" her shoes and relax. She also wants to "visit" with the prophets in an attempt to deceive and
confuse them, make them ineffective and back-off from their pursuit of repentance and holiness and building a suitable
habitation for the Lord. She would like to call herself a "prophetess" by influencing and distorting God's true prophetic
voices. See Rev 2:20-25. Your statement to Hillary in the dream "It is obvious that you are the brains in your family"
indicates that the prophets of God will be able to discern Jezebel's true nature and seat of authority. She tries to hide this
controlling nature behind a political front or figurehead (in this dream Bill Clinton). Jezebel does not like to be exposed in
her affairs and influence. In essence the spirit of Jezebel needs an Ahab as a front in order to powerfully operate her
control from behind the scene. With your discernment of her influence and power, Hillary goes to check on her "front"
which she derisively refers to as "Billy" (indicating that he truly is in a submissive role).
===============================
Then Hillary, Billy and I were sitting around the kitchen table. Billy was talking non-stop, going through a scrap book and
explaining everything in it. Hillary and I were talking and pretty much ignoring Billy. Hillary was talking about her
wardrobe, her shoes and her plans for making money.
===============================
The kitchen table is typically a place of fellowship and where meals are prepared and shared together. That idolatry and
control are seated here in the "House of God" should be cause for alarm for the prophets and the Body of Christ in
general. The deception is ever so subtle to keep the focus off of the true discernment of the problem and its exposition.
Hillary talks about "wardrobe, shoes, and plans for making money" - all things which we would classify as "pride of life"
issues - things which feed the spirit of idolatry in the church. See Jesus' words in Mt 6:25-34. Also see 1 Jn 2:15-17. By
the way, from this point on in your dream Mr. Clinton is referred to as "Billy". I believe this is because it has been
exposed to you, representing God's true prophetic voice, that he is secondary to the influence of the controlling influence
of Jezebel. While at the kitchen table, "Billy" is looking through a scrapbook which represents someone looking at the
past. This is much of what the leadership in the Body of Christ has been doing is "looking" and "talking" about the past
and in the process been missing what God is presently doing and about to do in the Body of Christ. Since this is done
around the kitchen table, it signifies that much of our leadership has been preparing and serving us food from the
"scrapbook" of the past instead of fresh daily bread from heaven. As long as this continues, Jezebel will allow the
deceptive babble to go on from the leadership as she attempts to keep the prophetic voices pre-occupied.
================================
In a quiet moment, Billy suddenly produced a postcard with a picture of a Mideast man in the military uniform of a
general with a birthday cake.
Billy said the card had just arrived. I indicated that I recognized the general as Amman. Billy said he was a King but
preferred to be a general. Billy was pleased that his friend had sent him his birthday card. I indicated that although the
card presented Amman in charming role he was really quite dangerous.
================================
This portion of the dream now takes a different direction. I can only interpret this portion of the dream in light of what is
currently happening in the Middle East and some of the other prophetic words and dreams which have recently come
forth. The postcard with a picture of a Mideast man in a military uniform with a birthday cake, I believe stands for a
military alliance that our country (represented by Clinton) is about to make with another country and perhaps the birthday
cake signifies the timing with a significant event - such as the beginning of the year of Jubilee in Israel. I believe the
official celebration of this begins on May 14, 1998. This event and celebration thereof is held in great derision and
contempt by the Arab world in general. I am not familiar with general or King Amman but I am assuming you are referring
to King Hussein of Jordan (whose capital is Amman). King Hussein has had an interesting past of divided and ever-
changing loyalties and ideals (much like Bill Clinton) and also much like Bill Clinton he has always presented himself in a
charming and sometimes compromising light without the harshness that seems to accompany many of the other Arab
world leaders. He has also always found himself sandwiched between two radically opposing sides - Israel and the Arab
world. The on-going maneuvering between Arab and Jew over Middle East territorial issues has caught King Hussein in
the middle and also Bill Clinton in the middle of international pressure to resolve the crisis. Is there an alliance in the near
future?
===============================
Then someone indicated that the President's car was waiting. I decided to walk Billy and Hillary to their vehicle. It was
located out in the middle of a field. I suddenly become aware that I was barefoot. I knew the field had stickers but
decided to walk to the vehicle anyway. After a short way I turned back to the house. I was aware of the stickers in my
feet. They were irritating but really not hurting.
===============================
This friendly visit has perhaps been too friendly as the President's car (representing the ministry of deception that the
prophetic element and the Body of Christ has been exposed to) is now awaiting out in the middle a field (which stands for
the nature of the flesh and the things of this world - again the Pride of Life). I say that the visit has been too friendly
because you feel it appropriate to walk them to their car and in so doing must walk barefoot across the "field of the flesh"
which is full of stickers. The stickers represent the curse that goes along with following after the flesh and also indicates
the stubborn rebellion that the church has exhibited towards freeing herself from the entrapment of the pride of life. This is
so true of the Church in that we have blindly made alliances with the spirit of idolatry and control in order that we are
willing to follow them to "keep the peace". True peace that comes only from following the One who both grace and truth
has alluded us as result. This is evidenced by the fact that in this dream you are barefoot. God's prophets and the Body
of Christ at large have not "shod our feet with the preparation that comes with the gospel of peace" Eph 6:15. We must
do this to protect us from the flesh nature and the curse that goes with it. The plan of the enemy here is to keep us
deceived so that we do not protect ourselves and thereby enter into His peace by freeing ourselves from idolatry and
control.
===================================
The sun was setting and all was quiet in the house. I heard a the noise of many vehicles coming my way. I went to the
door and watched as many vehicles began to pull into the yard. They were old, beat up vehicles. I saw one vehicle that
resembled the antique car on the old show "The Beverly Hillbillies". I new these were all relatives of mine. The only new
vehicle in the crowd was driven by my brother. This vehicle was a sport utility vehicle like a jeep but had extra lights and
was equipped with every conceivable add-on. (My brother in reality likes to drive Volkswagen bugs of the 60's.) He
jumped out of his car and was dressed up in a sporty manner like I have never seen him dressed. I was anxiously
watching for Mom and Dad to show up but I did not see them arrive before I woke up.
==================================
In this last paragraph, there again is a shift in the focus of the dream. I believe it is a very positive closing to this dream.
The "sun setting" signifies that this scene is in the end times or very close to it. The quiet in the house indicates that the
house has been purged of the influences of idolatry and control. This purging takes place as the prophetic is given its
proper place in the house signified by the fact that you are still there. This purging in turn attracts many vehicles of all
sorts of nature and age. This represents a period when the Body is free from idolatry and control and many ministries,
both old and new, will be attracted not only to "prophetic communion" with the Lord but will also been drawn together in
an unparalleled move of true unity - the likes of which the Body of Christ has never seen. These are indeed your relatives
as they are "your brothers and sisters in the Lord"!! Your real-life brother may in fact represent you and a true shift of
focus from "old to new" style of ministry. Whereas your real-life brother once liked to drive VW's of the 60's - now he is
driving a modern sport utility vehicle outfitted with all the "bells an whistles".
Some ministries that have been focused on the past way of doing things ("tradition") will find themselves moving in a
whole new vehicle of ministry of flowing in the Spirit. Jim, I can't really comment on your Mom and Dad not showing up
other than perhaps they will be late arrivals to what God will birth and bring together or perhaps they will be resistant to
this move of the Spirit. This detail in your dream may be given for focused intercession. It is also quite likely given the
symbolic nature of this dream that your Mom and Dad represent "older ministries" in general, that for whatever reason are
either not around at this time and move of God or refuse to be a part of it. Perhaps here there is a parallel with Jim
Rapalje's dream about Billy Graham!
=================================
This AM when I got up - (by the way this is a real good time to hear from the Holy Spirit - before coffee and the things of
this world crowd in) - the verse from I Sam 15:23 was in my mind. This says "Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry..."
This statement made by Samuel to Saul embodies both the sins of Ahab (idolatrous iniquity) and Jezebel (witchcraft). As
I reflected on this I realized that idolatry and witchcraft go hand in hand with disobedience to the Lord and our stubborn
determination to do what is right in our own sight - which is what Saul did! It is also interesting to note that it was God's
anointed that fell into this trap of the enemy - he feared the people more than he feared God!! There is much more to learn
over this Ahab and Jezebel scenario in the days to come.

At The United Nations

by Nita Johnson
While in New York ministering, I was asked to join a party of individuals to go to the United Nations building and pray.
There are many things I would like to share with you about that event but for the sake of time and space I'll wait.
The pastor had asked me to join them hoping to get some insight from the Holy Spirit. Many things were spoken to me
that day, but I will share with you what pertains to Israel.
Upon entering the premises I was surrounded by a cloud of the Holy Spirit. As I entered into this covering, I was so
overwhelmed by His presence that I could not speak in English. All efforts ended in futility. I asked Him why such a
heavy degree of His presence, to which He answered: "It's a protective covering."
I didn't really understand why I needed such a covering until after we left the premises and headed back for the train. The
Holy Spirit suddenly smote me so hard I nearly doubled over at an intersection. He told me I was to return to the U. N.
and give a prophetic utterance against the reigning prince, which by the way is Satan himself. Please understand I would
never do what I did without a directive from the Lord. Seasoned warriors learn not to trifle in matters in which they are not
instructed to do so.
Upon returning to the property, the warfare against my spirit was most intense until the utterance was released, then the
anointing flowed and I felt like I was walking on the wind.
What was the utterance! I told Satan that what he was trying to do prematurely would be thwarted. He was crying to
bring war to the Middle East ahead of God's timing. Had he succeeded, we would have been thrown into World War III
and God's purpose for Israel and world harvest would have been temporarily halted, not to mention loss of lives. Satan's
idea was to bring open confrontation among the nations in February of 1998, way ahead of God's timetable. But, God's
determined purpose prevailed. The Lord did not say it would never happen, only that it would not take place on Satan's
time, but His own, and in the fullness of time, when sin's cup is overflowing. So, we continue to pray!
MORE ABOUT WAR 3-28-98
My first night in Australia, the Lord spoke to me prophetically all night. One of the things I saw was the following:
A man who was representative of the Union party took office. Immediately thereafter, a prophet walked up to him and
declared "You are the leader of the Union party and that is prophetic, God says: now the Union ant is going to invade
Israel."
As he spoke these words, terror gripped both my heart and the heart of Israel's new leader. We both knew the Union ant
was indicative of the United Arab Nations.
Weep for Israel all you who love her!
In Christ's Love,
Nita ]ohnson

The Victorious Church !

AN INCREASING LIGHT IN AN ENCROACHING DARKNESS.
Jeff Beacham
INTRODUCTION
The Lord does not do anything unless He first reveals it to His people through the prophets. Many are prophesying about
a Coming Global Awakening. Certainly if the Gospel will be preached to all Nations before He returns, then that would
present the Church with an unprecedented harvest. In these 'perilous' times the Body of Christ seems to be approaching
its finest hour. Constant reports from all around the world tell of great victories and 'success' being attained by a huge
number of Christian organisations. However, others are prophesying of great judgment. These opposing views often seem
to contradict each other, so who is right?
THE WAY UP IS SOMETIMES DOWN.

In Isaiah 60:2 we read: "For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will
arise upon you, and His glory will be seen upon you."
Our definition of 'success' may be very different from what this word means from God's perspective. We often relate it to
prosperity from a worldly viewpoint. I'm sure that most Christians would say that Jesus had a 'successful' ministry - but it
came at the cost of His life! Hardly a success in the eyes of the world, but a triumph in God's sight.
David White from Harvest Ministries International reports that: "A ministry in the U.S. that supplies Bibles to China
recently printed a message from one of the leaders in the underground church. Nearly 90% of all believers in China are
part of the underground church. He requested that believers in America continue to send Bibles, however he specifically
asked the church in America not to pray that the persecution of the church in China would stop. He said that persecution
actually helped them to stay close to God. The modern western Christian mindset, with our focus on the temporary
rather than the eternal, cannot understand this Chinese believer's request. Comfortable Christianity is a western thing - It
is not necessarily a biblical thing."
Again God confirms this through Isaiah: "....For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will
learn righteousness. Let grace be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he
will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord." (Isaiah 26: 9b-10). God's judgments are not intended to
replace revival, but actually will accompany and even promote revival. His word says that " where sin increases, grace
(power) increases even more"
THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

I believe these two views of eminent revival and impending judgement both contain truth and both are needed. The
Christian 'pilgrimage' through this life has many prerequisites but one major requirement: Balance. I once took my kids to
the circus and watched in amazement as one man walked a tight-rope carrying a balancing pole. As he walked, two
others jumped up on either of his shoulders, and then four more mounted up on these two. Finally, a little kid got to the
top of all this and pushed his body upward as he balanced on one arm. As impressive as all this was, it all depended on
balance. If this was lost for one second, there would have been a disaster. There has been certain 'camps' in the Body of
Christ that have believed the whole Body should be an 'eye' and others that say it should be an 'ear'. The fruit of this has
been division as the 'eye' has derided the 'ear' for not being able to see and the 'ear' has berated the 'eye' for not having
the ability to hear. But no one has a monopoly on Truth. We must preach "the whole counsel of God". If we preach
revival, we must also preach judgement; if faith then also repentance. The blessing of God is poured out in a place of
balance - imbalance brings a curse. Too much Sun brings drought; too much rain, a flood.
POST-DENOMINATIONALISM
Church structure all around the world is about to change. Preconceived ideas will become obsolete. There is a new kind
of Body being assembled based not so much in denominations but in relationship. Steve Stookey, associate professor in
church history at South Western Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas recently said: "The loyalty level to
denominations may be on the endangered species list. This does not mean that denominations are going to die; they are
just changing." He puts this down to several reasons:
* The increasing use of generic church names with no particular affiliation. * Th explosive growth of para-church groups,
eg, Promise Keepers. * A shift from long-term global missions investments to short-term projects often initiated at a local
church level. * The rise of the Internet which is getting the church out of the 'four walls' and into cyberspace. ( according
to the Barna Research Group, one out of 16 teens questioned in a recent poll said that within the next five years they
expect to use the Internet as a substitute for their current church based religious experience.) * Seminaries in flux -
centralised training is giving away to smaller 'niche' Bible colleges. Many seminaries are seriously evaluating training
methods needed for the 21st century.
Stookey said that " the post-modern mind is very accepting of pluralism. 'Spirituality' is the buzzword, not 'religion'. There
is a loss of denominational distinctives, particularly among young people. Denominations are developing 'sub-groups', eg,
mega-churches have their own networks and conferences."
RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS

The Scriptures confirm that heaven will retain Jesus, "until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by
the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." (Acts 3:20-21). Part of this restoration involves the five- fold
ministry of Ephesians 4:11-12. Christ gave these "Gifts" to bring the church to m aturity (vs.12 'equipping'), and not for
leaders to control the church or compete with each other. He is not coming back for a 'child-bride'!
Malachi 4:6 talks about turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and vice-versa. This speaks of maturing
relationships of trust and blessing between church leadership and the rest of the Body. Until recently church leadership
seemed to indicate that we believed most of the Body could be no more than 'teenagers', thus there has been an implied
'parental authority' instead of a 'parental blessing'. This often produced rebellious church members and worn out leaders.
These ministry leadership gifts were given "until...". They are a means to an end more than an end in themselves. God
might be more interested in seeing this work of maturity finished than we are. After all, He gave His only son for it. He
desires to see each of His children mature in ministry, covenant relationship with one another and growing up to the "
measure of the fullness of Christ".
THE BOTTOM LINE

People come to me from time to time and ask me to help them find God's will for their life. I know that we each have a
unique destiny to fulfil, but everyone in the Body of Christ has been given one basic commission: Go and make disciples
of all nations ! There are no disciples without soul-winning; no soul-winning without reproduction; no reproduction without
maturity; no maturity without trust; no trust without confidence; no confidence without relationship and relationship is
bottom line! Revelation 21:3 speaks of a time when our spiritual relationship with God is consummated here on Earth,
"...behold, the tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them, and they shall be His People, and God himself
will be with them and be their God". One thing is for sure; this event is definitely closer today than what it was yesterday.

The White Wolf

Bill Burns
September 18, 1998--

I had a dream. In the dream I was driving down a road in a canyon in a white pickup truck with my wife. I looked up ahead
and saw a white wolf jumping a fence, and then saw a white sheep jump up ahead of the wolf. My inclination was to take
the rifle from the gun rack in my truck and step out of the truck to get a good shot in order to kill the wolf before it got the
sheep. But, the Holy Spirit checked me and told me to stay in the truck. Then, we got a little closer to where the wolf
was, and could see that it was a mechanical wolf and a mechanical sheep. They were set in motion by a laser beam that
crossed the highway. As I was sitting there looking at the absurdity of this mechanical wolf, I spotted about a dozen real
wolves in the brush. Then many wolves, probably about 100, came out and gathered around the truck. At that point, it
became obvious that the mechanical wolf was a trap to draw me out of the safety of the vehicle. If I had not listened to
the voice of the Spirit, I would have been attacked.
Interpretation: The Holy Spirit has been telling us to stay in safe habitations for some time now. The white truck
represented the safe habitation of righteousness in Christ. The inclination to use the rifle represented a temptation to use
worldly weapons, or to take matters into our own hands, but the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through
God to pull down strongholds. The white wolf and sheep as bait represented a seducing spirit sent to get us out of safe
habitations. Even though it seemed like a good cause, it was still a trap. The Lord is warning us to stay in Him and not
be seduced even by situations that seem noble. The key is to be found in Him, walking in the Spirit, so that when
Satan's snares come, we are not seduced into places of danger.

The Winds of Adversity

Kirk Osgood
I wrote this last July 4th 1998. In Minnesota we had many strong storms in spring and early summer.
We have just felt the Winds of Adversity, and many are still recovering from it. We have learned that the trees that are
well trimmed are the trees, which the wind can blow right through without having a devastating effect on. The trees in the
wild have no gardener; they just grow as they see best. They do not have someone with a saw to prune them. A wise
gardener looks at a tree and says, "You have too many branches and too many leaves, if a strong stormy wind comes up
it may split you, twist main branches off or even blow you right over and uproot you. You need to let me thin you out so
when the wind blows fiercely it will just blow right through you, and you will be able to laugh with joy as you feel the
power of Gods wind blowing through you."
Many of us are over burdened with the cares of this world. We are trying to maintain too much leafy vegetation. We are
concerned about so many THINGS, but only a few are necessary, really only one. Let us choose what is best, and
submit ourselves to the pruning knife of the master gardener, and sanctify ourselves, by setting Him apart as Lord of our
lives. We must take time to sit at his feet daily, to recline at table with Him and lean on His breast and drink Life from
Him. If we find ourselves not able to concentrate on Him and His Word, is it not because we have to many things to do,
to many things that are hanging over us undone? So they come in to haunt us, to tear our hearts and minds off of our
time with the Lord. They entangle themselves around us like thorns and choke the Life in us and make us unfruitful. We
must tear their fetters from us. We must ask the Lord to show us how and what tasks He wants to trim from our lives,
and which ones He wants us to do. Whatever He wants us to do, He will give us the wisdom and strength and time to
accomplish. The others? (As He leads) - Don’t do them, ask someone else to, or pay someone else to do them, and He
will provide the resources for anything He leads us to do.
Sssshhhh…. Listen…I think I hear thunder…Are you fearful of loss? Or are you excited? I think I am some of each.

THE WORM THAT STEALS

10-19-98 by Judy Curmi
Judy, the enemy is trying to steal the inheritance I want to give you. This is always his way and he has many tricks he
can use to try and achieve his goal. When I say I am going to give you (or any of my children) something and you
are filled with doubts, fear or unbelief, it is the devil trying to steal your inheritance from you.
If you receive a healing of any kind (physical, mental, emotional) and "lose it", you have allowed Satan to steal it
from you. If I give you hope, if I give you peace, whatever I give to you—if thoughts opposing it start to nag at you
or swirl about you—it is the devil trying to steal my gift to you. DON’T let him take it! UNMASK HIM! It is time
these plots and schemes of the enemy be totally unmasked and brought into the light so they can be destroyed.
Why would you want Lucifer for a friend? Why would you want to lie in bed with him—
>when he is out to get you any way he can?
>when he is so full of rage and jealousy he wants to steal every good gift I have for you, even the simple gift of
peace?
In the end analysis there is only one thing Lucifer wants from you and that is to steal your soul from ME. He wants
you miserable forever. Is this really someone you want for a friend? Why would you want anything to do with him
and why would you listen to anything he says? All the "gifts" he gives kill you: lust, pride, self-righteousness,
bigotry….. The list goes on ad nauseum.
It is time to start saying "NO" to all of his plots, schemes and lies. It is time to rise up in righteous indignation and
start telling the dog where to go. Unmask him for what he is: lower than the lowest snake, dirtier than the grossest
vermin, a truly despicable worm.
Tell this worm and his "buddies" where to go! Start popping the inflated balloons he is trying to scare you with. Tell
him to get his slimy hands off of you and turn to ME. Throw MY Words and MY Promises back at him. I am
faithful and true. MY Words and MY Promises will come to pass if you don’t let Satan steal them. You do
not do the work to make my Promises come true. You follow ME and I will unfold them before you.
Little children accept and trust the words of their parents to be true. That is why you must become as little children
before me. Adults have a thousand questions, reasons and excuses for not believing or following me. Therefore,
become as little children. Put your trust in me and let me lead you. Don’t let the dirty, lying dog steal that which I
wish to give you!
If you will be strong in MY strength he will flee from you. If you will become innocent, childlike and totally trusting in
ME, he will flee from you.
I will build your faith to a rock wall as strong as granite if you will let me. Nothing will be able to penetrate it as you
rest in me. I am the LION. I am the KING. I am not weak and I will not tolerate Satan’s insubordination much
longer. His days are numbered and very, very short. He hangs now by a thread. I will ROAR and he will be undone.
Start walking in Victory NOW! Let me open your eyes NOW so you can begin to see how unbelievable minute he
is compared to me. Don’t let him trip you up anymore! Take courage! Hear the sound of my voice and follow ME!
Love, Your Jesus
PS. Why would you let this vermin ruin your life?
Why would you give this vermin the time of day?
Do you stop along your path to engage in conversation with snakes, toads, scorpions, jackals and skunks? Do you
pick poison ivy and stinging nettles?
Satan is a palmerworm.* Squish him! Spray him with the insecticide of my Word! Praise me mightily and
watch him shrivel and die before your very eyes!
PSS. Don’t let yourself be incapacitated by waiting for "confirmation" for every Word you receive from me. Know
my Word (The Bible) and know my Heart. I am doing a NEW THING and I wish to do a NEW THING for you,
my most confused, errant and wandering children. I love you dearly—no matter what! Let me show you how much
by trusting and following me. Your sorrows will be as nothing compared to the joy I wish to give to you.
In the English language the palmerworm is described as a small green caterpillar. In the original Hebrew
language, however, a palmerworm was a type of locust, specifically the desert locust. The locust is a
particularly vicious insect. Under the right conditions these insects travel in huge swarms, causing massive
destruction by eating every green living thing in their path. They can travel up to 3,000 miles and a large
swarm can contain up to 180,000,000 locusts.
Depending on the circumstances, the results can be famine and mass starvation for humans and animals
alike. The palmerworm is a most loathsome insect with chewing, ripping mouthparts and no redeeming
value whatsoever.
* Joel 2:25-26 And I will recompense you for the years that the locust has eaten, the crawling
locust, the cankerworm, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent against you. And you
shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt
wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.

They Shall Know Me

by Linda Royce
(Jer 31:34 NKJV) "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the
LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive
their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
This passage speaks a "now" message to the church today. More than ever before, God wants His people to
know Him and hear from Him. He is pouring out His Spirit powerfully, and we can only expect more and
more of His outpouring.
Several times while in prayer recently I felt troubled and burdened. I asked, "What is it Lord? Why are am I
feeling this way?" I did not receive a specific answer to the question, but received the following three
passages:
(Isaiah 65:1-3a NKJV) "I was sought by those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did
not seek Me. I said, 'Here I am, here I am,' To a nation that was not called by My name. I have
stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in a way that is not good,
According to their own thoughts; a people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face;
(Amos 8:11 NKJV) "Behold, the days are coming, "says the Lord GOD, "That I will send a famine on
the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD.
(Isaiah 55:6,7 NKJV) Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the
wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He
will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
The Lord gave me no more than these passages for a couple of weeks. Then He gave me the following word:
A WARNING TO MINISTERS
I am pouring out My Spirit in a way that you have never seen, and as the world has NEVER seen. I have
brought about many changes in My Body, and the changes will continue; I tell you, they will accelerate. My
warning to five-fold ministers and all others who minister to MY sheep is this. I CREATED EACH ONE AS I SAW
FIT AND EACH ONE IS THE WORK OF MY HANDS. Direct them to seek Me. If you try to be their source, you
will be removed. One thing that I am changing is the attachment that the sheep have to ministers. GET OUT OF
MY WAY. I AM THEIR ONLY SOURCE. I created each one and I have a unique plan for each one. Many of you
have been more of a hindrance than a help to MY sheep. "You tie up heavy loads, hard to bear, and place
them on men’s shoulders, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to help bear them. You do all your works to be
seen of men." You tell MY sheep, "this is all you have to do… here is what I did…. do these four things." DO
YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT EVEN ONE CAN BE SET FREE BY YOUR FORMULAS, OR BY YOUR RHEMA?
The letter kills, it is the Spirit that gives life.
I will not bring many warnings about this before I bring judgment. Don’t stagnate in the sovereign moves that I
bring about by My Spirit. Allow Me to show you when I am done with something and move forward with Me. If
you don’t, you will be left in the dust. Will My Spirit continually lead you? The choice is yours, and so will be the
consequences.
(John 5:44 Amp) How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek
and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory
which come from Him who alone is God?
(2 Cor. 3:5,6 KJV) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is
of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
There are several points that the Lord is making to His ministers (by the way, every believer is a minister). Let’s take
a look at a few (although not all) of those points.
Hearing from God is not optional
This has never been more vital than it is today. In the days ahead walking by faith will be a life and death matter. Many
of the decisions you are making right now are more important than you realize. Revelation had better be preceding
those decisions so that they can be made in faith. How does faith come? Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the
word (rhema) of God (Romans 10:17). When Jesus was tempted by satan in the wilderness, He said, "It is written,
'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt. 4:4). I can’t
emphasize enough the importance of every believer personally hearing from God.
God is the believer’s only source
God will hold ministers to much higher standards as they teach and counsel His sheep. God is very serious about
being each believer’s only source. Judgment will come to anyone who steps in His way. Always point others to God.
As they have struggles and difficulties, help them by going with them to the Father. He alone has answers. YOU
HAVE NO SOLUTIONS TO OFFER APART FROM HIM (See "Warning to Ministers").
Move with the cloud
God will be moving very quickly in the days ahead. In light of this acceleration, be aware of the following.
There is a strong temptation in man to pitch a tent and camp out at each sovereign move of God. Very likely, this is
how each denomination was founded. God brought about revival and great revelation. The problem is that when God
was done with it and moved on, the people in the midst of the revival and revelation didn’t go with Him. This is a
deep statement so stay with me – a move of God means that God is moving, not staying. If He isn’t pitching a tent,
we sure don’t want to. Amen? If we do, we’ll miss Him and won’t be in the heart of what He’s doing. For an example
of this, take a look at Peter’s response to the transfiguration. "Then it happened, as they were parting from Him, that
Peter said to Jesus, ‘Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for
Moses, and one for Elijah’; not knowing what he said (Luke 9:33 NKJV). How many know Peter wanted to pitch a tent
and camp out right there? But they had to go back down the mountain. Had Peter stayed there, he would have been
left alone.
You may think, "This won’t happen to me." Let me show you how easily this can happen. Let’s take a recent move of
God. Let’s look at the restoration of the five-fold ministry. Without even realizing it, one could try to legislate church
structure and the anointing. One could believe that God will only move through the order of a church organized
around the five-fold ministry. If there is no Apostle, one could believe that there will be no vision. One could also
believe that only an Apostle can lay hands on and impart to the people. Don’t get me wrong… there is true power in
the Apostolic anointing. But is that the only way God can impart to or call people? Is that the only way people can
receive? Hear this, saints of God. God is limited by absolutely nothing! YOU CAN’T PACKAGE OR CONTAIN THE
ANOINTING! Don’t try to limit God by His own sovereign move. If you do, you will be left behind.
Guard against making your rhema into the standard

This is an area where many of us really get in God’s way. God is multi-faceted. He speaks to each believer in a very
individual manner. Each has a unique vision and purpose. How do you respond when someone is given a totally
different directive from you (assuming there is provision for both directives in the word of God)? Let’s look at an
example. You hear from God regarding a healing. God tells you, "Stand in faith and upon My Word and I will bring
about your healing." Yet He tells another believer to go on a special meal plan. Do you believe they aren’t walking in
faith? Do you believe they haven’t heard from God? Oh saints, we can be so self-righteous about our revelation
knowledge and judgmental of those who have received a different word. Who are we to judge our brother? We who
only know in part.
Another thing we do is rather than seek the Lord with a brother or sister, we try to provide them with a solution by
telling them how we received our breakthrough. Let’s say someone shares that they want to receive their prayer
language. You will get several people trying to tell that person how to receive his or her prayer language, based
solely on their own experience. Do we really think that our own experiences are going to "work" for others?
We have to be very careful about what we boast in. The Word of God says, "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord" (1
Cor. 1:31). Have we forgotten that "knowledge puffs up but love edifies" (1 Cor. 8:1)? If we honestly ask the Lord, I am
sure He would show all of us times when we have become almost vainglorious in our revelation knowledge. Like we
have THE answer for every member of the Body of Christ regarding any issue. He alone has the answers. Don’t
attempt to have people receive the way you received (unless the Lord is specifically telling you to do so).
Encourage one another and go the Lord together, asking Him to reveal how He wants to impart. We must do things
according to His design, and not ours.
Children of God, we are living in times when each of us must hear from the Lord. As we hear from Him, we must
realize that He is speaking vision and plans to us, and they are only for us. We must not become roadblocks to our
brothers and sisters in Christ by trying to put our pathway in front of them. Each of us has a course designed only for
us. Finally, don’t judge the road that others take. If you really love your brethren, pray for the Lord’s continual direction
in their lives. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" (John 14:6). Let’s stay out of the way of THE WAY, so
that THE WAY can lead His people into His TRUTH and LIFE!

Vision Of The Throne Of God

And The Tent Covering The Earth
Catherine Brown
The vision began with a red throne. There was a false god upon it and there were many demons dancing round the
throne. There were also many humans giving worship to this false god. In the first second or two of the vision as I began
to peer into the heavenly realm, the outline of the throne was very dim and it was not clear to me whose throne it was.
Before I could see the demons I asked the Lord "Is this your throne" and He instantly allowed me to see that it was not. I
feel this is an important point, if we are humble enough to ask when we are not sure, the Lord will respond immediately.
Do not be proud, for the Lord gives grace to the humble. Humility is foundational to walking in the Lord's discernment.
The vision then expanded and as I looked up I could see the throne of the Lord and I was staggered by its magnificence. I
could see the winged seraphim flying round the throne; I could hear the thunder of the wheels of the winged creatures. I
could see that the Lord was watching the scene below, the false god upon this throne. I felt the Lord's wrath and I
trembled under it. I trembled for His judgement was about to be pronounced. The fear of the Lord, great and mighty was
upon me. And His voice sounded as the thunder and the wheels began to roll and I could see that the whole army of
heaven was assembled. And the Lord raised His sceptre and I fell to my face as the thunder of the Lord resounded in
every place. There was thunder and there were cracks of lightning as the Lord raised His sceptre.
Suddenly the throne of the Living God dropped from Heaven with an incredible speed upon the throne of the false god -
and every demonic being and every creature that had worshipped the false god was destroyed beneath the throne of the
Lord. I could see the earth, the global view of the world and I could see that the Lord had established His throne upon the
earth. As I looked at the globe, there was not one place that it could not be seen. Somehow it was not just in any one
place, but it was in every place.
The Lord then began to show me where the people were worshipping all over the earth. In every place where there was a
temple to God, His glory was filling the earth. Hands were raised heavenwards and the Lord's glory was falling. It was
incredible to behold. Then I could see a covering upon the earth. I could see it was like the roof of a tent and I could see
that it covered the throne. All of God's people were under this covering. There were no sides to the tent, but there were
thick ropes, which held it down. It seemed that the tent was not actually anchored on the earth at this point, but that
there were angels who held the ropes of the tent in place, in the heavenly realm. Yet I could see that there were points on
the earth where there seemed to be huge pins, which I felt the ropes were destined to be anchored to.
Then the Lord showed me many people and most of them were male, but some female. It was very strange for many of
them were walking with a limp - not all, but still a great number limped. I was perplexed and I asked the Lord what was
wrong with them. I knew that these men and women were leaders whom the Lord had raised up. I thought of Jacob, how
when he became Israel he walked with a limp but the Lord said this was not a righteous limp. I looked again and I could
see that many of the people needed walking sticks to move around. As I looked to the Lord He seemed overcome with
great sadness and I went to Him and saw tears run from His eyes. His heart was breaking and I held His hand and I
waited quietly for My Father to speak. He showed me that the men and women were limping because there were demons
who had attached themselves to the heels of these precious people. When the people tried to walk they had to drag
these demons with them. The demon was resisting going the way of the Lord but was unable to stop the man or woman
of God from moving, but could significantly slow them down. The Lord showed me that the enemy had been given a
foothold in the lives of these men and women, and because of this he could slow down and disable many of the Lord's
children. Indeed some of the footholds had become strongholds and for these poor souls, they had to limp around on
crutches, not just with a walking stick. The Lord said, "Pray for My people child, pray that they will be holy, pray for My
sanctification. I desire to pour out the fullness of Myself upon them, but I cannot do this until their heel crushes the
enemy. The devil uses pride to mask sin, if only My people would lay down pride I could show them the areas where they
are weak, that I might build them up.
I looked again to the tent covering the earth, and to the angels holding down the cords of the tent and the Lord spoke
words of comfort to me and He said, "Days will come when the tent cords will be fixed to the anchor pegs". I could see
the angels coming to the place of anchor and I could see men and women of God tying them with their help. The Holy
Spirit was directing the operation. No-one was limping. Every man and woman was able-bodied. There were old men and
women and younger men and women. I could see some much loved faces and I could also see faces I did not recognise,
but their names I will hold in trust in my heart for the moment. The Lord will use many already in leadership and He will
raised yet more people to join their ranks. But this will be an army where the first shall be last and the last shall be first. I
knew that the men and women were truly robed in the Lord's righteousness and were each wearing a mantle of humility.
Where some had walked with a limp, the Lord had given them shoes of gold to wear. It was His restoration, His beautiful
restoration.
The vision ended with the Lord's throne firmly established over all the earth and the His temple anchored on the earth,
and the temple was full of the glory of the Lord. Heaven and earth joined with one voice as they praised the Lamb. It is
impossible to describe the moment, Lord let the reader be transported by Your Spirit to this place of spectacular beauty.
Let them come to your throne, where the water of Life is flowing. Let every thirsty man, woman and child drink from Your
hand and let them be refreshed and restored, that they might revive others in Your name.

The Throne Room

Jon Arno
I found myself walking into a large place that I can only describe as the throne room. As I entered further into this huge
place, I saw 12 men standing close to the opening of the throne room. They each were dressed in the same unique
clothing and they were smiling as if they knew something was about to happen. They never said a word; they just stood
there in silence.
As I turned my attention away from the 12 men, I saw a very large and wide golden structure reaching up what looked
like 50 or more yards. At the top of the structure I saw what looked like a man standing and looking at me as I walked
into the room. At the base of the golden structure I saw an opening the size of a large door way and inside the entrance
at the base of the throne I could see further inside where red hot coals of fire burned brightly.
As I paused to look at the coals, an angel dressed in a white robe and a funny looking head piece and who also looked
like a man approached the opening at the base of the throne with a long rod that looked like it was 6 feet long with a
spoon at the end. As he reached the opening he put forth his rod into the opening and turned his rod over dropping on the
coals of fire something that produced a white mist. The mist then ascended up the structure as though smoke up a
fireplace. After he had done this, the angel then turned around and left passing another angel who did the same thing as
the first. One by one seven angels came before the throne and placed inside the entrance of the base of the throne their
rods and dropped something on the coals that produced a white mist.
As I watched the mist ascend, I saw it come out at the top of the structure forming what looked like a cloud. There at the
top of this giant structure, I saw someone who appeared to be basking in the mist that rose from off the coals.
At this point I asked "what is this mist"? Without hearing an audible voice yet hearing, a voice said "These are the
prayers of my people that are purified on the coals of purification and now have come up before me". I stood in awe as I
was overcome with the understanding that even our prayers must be purified before they come before God. I then asked,
"How can there only be seven angels bringing the prayers of your people"? "Surely there are thousands praying even
now". A Voice then spoke to me again," In heaven there is no such thing as time." For some reason that answer
satisfied me.
As I walked closer to the massive structure, I found myself ascending a ramp that led to the summit of this huge throne.
As I began to walk up the ramp, I suddenly began to feel the weight of sin in my life. I knew I did not deserve to be in this
Holy Place. Every step became more and more difficult and I began to weep uncontrollably. As the weight of sin grew, I
began to say to myself that I truly was a wicked man. Fear now began to come upon me as I realized I was known for
who I was.
Then, suddenly, just as quickly as I had felt the weight of sin, I began to feel an overwhelming sense of love that was
beyond human understanding. I no longer felt any sin. All I could feel now was wave after wave of love coming towards me
as though I was at a beach and the waves of water were rushing upon me. Just at that moment I understood "Perfect love
casteth out fear". I cried out to God "How can you love me this much"? At this point I fell on my face and began to crawl.
Now, instead of a weight of sin slowing me in my efforts to reach the top, the weight of this wonderful love humbled me.
When I finally reached the summit of the throne, I began to slowly lift my head up to see the one who was standing there
when suddenly I saw that I was at the feet of someone whose feet were pierced. At this point in my dream it all came
together and I began to weep again at the reality of what was happening to me and the fact that there before me was
Jesus. The holes in his feet were not little ones. No, surely they were caused by large spikes. The magnitude of what I
was now seeing with my eyes was more than I could contain.
Here before me stood the Holy Lamb of God and I was speechless. All I could now think of was," why did you have to die
on a cross like that". Then I heard Him say, "I did this because I love you." Then the Lord reached down and took my left
hand and placed something into my palm and closed it. Later, after I was able to, I opened my hand to see a little white
stone with writing and words I could not understand. Then I heard the Lord say "Now go your way".
At this point I awoke ending the dream and I immediately asked the Lord for confirmation in His word for what had
happened to me in that dream. He spoke to my heart to turn to the book of Revelation, and as I opened my bible, the
pages opened to chapter 2 verse 17. It reads, "To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give
him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it."
I now have a deeper understanding of the holiness of the Lord and the magnitude of the love He has for His people. That
even our prayers must be purified before they can come before the Lord gives us a little glimpse into the beauty and
Holiness of the Lord. Amazing love, how could it be, That you my God, would die for me.
May His peace fill your heart today.

God Bless you.

Throwing Stones
by Steve Lincoln
As I was worshipping God in church this morning, He showed me a vision -
I saw a group of people who were throwing stones, and outside of the group of people there were a large number of
demons who were standing and watching what was happening, with smiles on their faces.
Some of the people were throwing stones at each other, and a few were throwing stones at the demons.
As the stones hit the demons, although they were hurt by some of the stones, still they continued to stand and smile at
what was happening, in a mocking manner.
God showed me that this is a picture of the church right now.
The demons are a picture of the principalities and powers of evil that hold sway over different cities and nations.
Instead of making war upon the enemy, many Christians are more concerned with the problems that exist between
people and churches, and instead of throwing stones at the enemy, stones are thrown at other Christians and other
churches.
The enemy is very subtle and clever, and he would like nothing more than for the church to continue it's in-fighting.
It is only when the whole church is united as one body that we will defeat the principalities that hold our cities and our
nations, and the devil knows this to be true, and so he will do all in his power to stop the unity.
However, God will not wait forever for those Christians who will not answer the call, and engage the enemy in warfare.
God wants to use each of His people, but if we will not wake up to the enemy's plans and seek unity in the body of
Christ, and stop our negative talk and arrogance, we will not make it through the fire that God is sending on the church at
this time.
We all want to see God move in mighty ways in our cities and nations, but if we do not seek unity, and engage the
enemy in warfare as a united army, then we will be sadly disappointed.
God has shown me that our cities and nations will only be taken as His people in those cities and nations come together
in unity to seek God's face, and enter into warfare.
God has promised in His word that wherever brothers dwell together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing.
Unity will not come through any man-made idea or agenda. The true unity of the body of Christ will only come as we pray
for each other, and come together in an attitude of humility and grace.
God has shown me that His plan for the church is unlike anything we have ever seen or dreamt of, and part of this is that
He will bring Christians together from all denominations to worship and to seek His face.
God's agenda is what we must be praying for, and let any arrogance and self- righteousness fall away.
Let us not be like the people in the vision who threw stones at each other, but instead let us aim at the principalities and
powers of evil - together. As these forces of evil are dealt with, God will bring mighty revival and restoration to His church,
and He will then bring many millions into His church in all nations.
God is looking for a people who He can trust, and who love and can trust each other, instead of being suspicious and
mistrusting of one another.
Jesus is returning for a perfect bride, and that means one that is whole and has unity between each of its many parts.
God bless you all,
Steve Lincoln.

The Second Thunder And The New Age

Movement
Judy Curmi
Ref: THE SECOND THUNDER by Bob Neumann
I read with interest Bob Neumann’s Second Thunder. In going carefully over "The Doctrines of the End
Days" I realized that these Doctrines apply not only to the apostate church, but are among the major
underpinnings of the New Age Movement (Religion) as well. The New Age has set itself up against the
message of the Gospel and its doctrines are now found everywhere including books, TV, movies,
songs and even in our nation’s classrooms.
I am very familiar with many of these doctrines as I was caught up in this great deception for over
twenty years. The message is carefully crafted and persuasive. It is gaining new adherents daily.
1. THE FIRST IS A GOSPEL OF PROSPERITY

This is a major pinion of the New Age and works in conjunction with numbers 2, 3 and 4. "Prosperity"
is among top buzzwords of the New Age. Almost all roads lead to the attempted achievement of
"being prosperous". Workshops, treasure maps, creative visualization and any number of tricks and
techniques are used to try and achieve this goal.
It was as early as 1987 I realized that about the only people who were really "prosperous" were the
ones teaching others to be "prosperous". They achieved this goal by writing books and charging
exorbitant sums of money for "Prosperity Workshops". People were so hungry for food of any kind that
they flocked to these workshops in large numbers, where their registration fees filled the wallets of the
‘teachers". The ‘teacher’s" personal prosperity was "proof" that their methods worked.
2. THE DOCTRINE OF ACCEPTANCE

Virtually all peoples, religions, behaviors and belief systems are OK and encouraged because we are
"One". The one exception seemed to be Christianity. Christians are usually seen as dogmatic,
bigoted and highly dangerous to the new order of ‘love" the New Age hopes to establish. Just about
any "religious" book is OK to read except for the Bible. Eastern and occult teachings are everywhere
to be found. There is total ignorance of true Biblical Christianity.
3. THE THIRD IS THE TRADITION OF TITHING

Amazingly enough, this is the one major message lifted out of the Bible which is enthusiastically
espoused by many in the New Age. As part of the "magic principles" used to achieve "prosperity",
many New Agers tithe to their churches or "source of inspiration". Katherine Ponder has written
numerous books on this subject and is one of the original New Age authorities, although there are
others as well. This tithed money is being used to help spread New Age beliefs and mysticism, in
direct opposition to the Word of God.
4. THE FOURTH IS THE THEORY OF DOMINION THEOLOGY

This is a crucial New Age teaching. It interested me considerably how Satan has twisted this belief so
carefully into New Age principles and "theology". The basis of this theory is the belief that we are ‘co-
creators", "little creators" or "God’s in the making."
You hear and see this belief espoused everywhere today in the words: "Change your thoughts and you
can change your life", or "Change your thoughts and you can change the world’ (Paradigm Shift
Theory). The idea is to gain control over outward circumstances, improve self image, achieve
"prosperity’ etc by changing ones thoughts or manipulating the ethers into giving us what we want or
think we need. . Mantras, creative visualization, mind control and many occult practices are used to try
and achieve this goal
Many also believe we can achieve a "Paradigm Shift" in the thinking and the behavior of the world, if
only enough people will think correctly and in unison. (Voila: instant enlightenment for all!)
Lucifer is extremely clever and well versed in lacing his lies with truth to draw in the unsuspecting. The
whole New Age deception has been so carefully crafted that my sister Rosie (who was the number
one New Age children’s songwriter for many years) and I have not been able to extract one single
friend from it. We count ourselves lucky, that God in his great grace and mercy was able to extract us. I
believe this to be the great end times counterfeit religion. It is persuasive and highly seductive. It
elevates the creature above the Creator. People are totally deaf and blinded to its massive tantalizing
deception: The Elevation of "Self".
Why give up a religion where you get to ‘play God" for one where you need to become a servant and
are a sinner in need of redemption?
Yours, Judy Curmi

Tidal Wave Dream

Ken Siders
I was working in some sort of military, and I was at the base, which was located near the water. I stopped what I was
doing and looked out into the water towards the horizon.
It seems I could see very far off. And then I saw a tidal wave coming, no more than one or two feet high on the horizon,
but I knew it was a tidal wave. I refocused my eyes back to where I was standing and said to the people around me,
"There's a title wave coming. I can see it." They looked but they couldn't see it. They couldn't see as far as I could, and
so they went back to work. I said again, "There's a tidal wave coming! There's a tidal wave coming! We need to grab onto
something solid so we won't be swept away." I grabbed onto a 4x4 post that was sunk deep into the ground and held on
with all my might. A few people around me did likewise. The people who did not grab onto anything looked at us
strangely, as we stood there gripping on to these solidly anchored objects for no apparent reason. Suddenly, the tidal
wave rose up out of the water and crashed down all around us, first pushing us towards land, and then sucking out
towards the sea.
Strangely enough, it didn't seem to hurt the people too much, but it thoroughly destroyed all the structures and things
that had been built so neatly and orderly all around us. "This is a mess," I thought, "There is no way things will be built
back the way they were."
Then I went to inspect some sort of large pressure machine with some other men. I was explaining to them that the
corrosion on the inside of the tank made it dangerous to work with, and I tried to get them to see this. But they were
having a problem understanding because the exterior of the machine was freshly painted. As I was saying this, I looked
out over the water once again, and once again I saw a tidal wave coming. I said to anyone who would listen, "Here comes
another tidal wave. Grab onto something solid." Once again, only a few people listened. The tidal wave came and washed
over everything: people, machines, what was left of the structures.
But this time, when it washed back out to sea, it took with it what was left of the destroyed buildings and structures and
quite a few of the people who did not listen. Then I thought, "Well that's it then. What was built will never be built back
like it was."

The Lord’s Heart

Luz C. Cintron
Regarding The Lord's Heart about our state of business as a nation September 25 1998
On Tuesday late afternoon I turned to one of the cable stations that shows "debates" about the current white house
scandal. While I was watching I was kind of smiling at the desperation showed by one of the Clinton's defenders, it
seemed to be out of arguments and just getting plain hysterical. Then it happened.
I was getting ready to change to local news when my eyes got set on the face of the man talking. (You know what you
feel when you get involved in deeper thoughts and for a time your eyes get set beyond the point you are looking almost
loosing it from sight while at the same time your eyes feel locked in there.) Slowly his face started to get another image
overimposed, it was a distorted face. Then while I was still hearing his words suddenly they were not funny anymore. I
started to perceive the spiritual meaning in them.
His words were an open invitation to accept the lie and placed it were the love of truth have been before. To understand
what I saw you need to put aside politics for it can not be explained or solved through it. I started to perceived in my spirit
the urgency of this hour, something I have been numb up to this moment. I felt that just like people have individual
characters and consciences nations do too, and even though there is much promiscuity, depravation of all moral traits in
this country, there was a place where our national conscience was still untouched from the moral decay around us. In its
beginning through the statements in the constitutions and other legal documents, America as a nation embraced the love
of truth, and justice and other moral principles and they became part of its conscience and spiritual definition. Now, back
to what I saw... while I was looking at this distorted face I understood that his words were a tramp, a spiritual tramp to us
a nation. We were given the choice between the love of truth or to embrace Lie and placed it were the love of truth once
was. I saw the seduction that the enemy has worked in the life of our president, preparing him for this moment to be used
against this nation. Then all the arguments that seemed illogical, ridiculous became clear, direct and with a purpose well
targeted.
I felt in my spirit that we are standing at a crossing point of decision. If this president is or is not backed up by the
masses as the polls seemed to suggest is not the problem or the issue. If he is impeached or censured is not the issue.
If he is pardoned and let go is not the issue. His moral fabric is not the issue. Ours is. I felt burdened for the young
people that will follow us. If at this point this nation decides to heed the polls and let go of it because he is doing good
with the economy and everybody does it and it is not bad since after all we live in the 90's. If this is the final posture
assumed by our representatives, the nation as a whole enters in a new covenant. Corruption would have reached the core
of this nation where the last remains of The Love Of Truth were, and I very clearly felt that our destiny would be sealed,
and the judgments of God were to fall upon us a nation.
Then I felt deeply sad and ashamed. Sad for our present situation and what it means for our children. Shamed for my
lack of vision, commitment, readiness and spirituality. I was founding amusing something that was not only shameful but
deeply dangerous.
I felt from the Lord His calling to intercede at this moment , at this hour. To fight for the calling and destiny this nation
had from God since its foundation. We pray for Revival and at this hour it has become our only hope for Survival. Even
more, we will bear before His throne responsibility in the outcome of this, we will be asked: what did you do?

The Nubian Woman

Vicki Camp
This is a vision I received Monday afternoon, 11-9-98 while communing in prayer with Father, followed
by ‘some’ interpretation. (for I feel there is more interpretation for each one who reads; Holy Spirit will
illumine this to hearts/spirits.)
The "Nubian Woman" and God’s Miraculous Provisions:
First I saw a giraffe, long neck… made me think of haughtiness, and it’s markings made me think of
the leopard and his spots … (biblically - can he change his spots? ) . which I then ‘see’ off to the
giraffes left, but vaguely . a leopard. . but they are both spotted, . which seems to be the tie-in here.
although the long neck part is a real focus of my first ‘seeing’ too .
Then I see a very beautiful Nubian woman, with fantastic bronze/brown skin glistening in the sun. She
has on her neck (I don’t know what it’s called?) Gold, necklace but huge, I mean, like in some tribe or
people in Africa - these harness type gorgeous necklaces cover the whole neck, elongating it some
(like the giraffe?), and drape part way to the shoulders - covering some of the chest and back ( what
I’m describing - an Egyptian / Cleopatra type necklace, but this one covers her whole neck as well
.making it long and straight - confined upright) It’s very shiny gold color in the sun, but the neck is what
I’m centered on . elongated and harnessed by this ‘jewelry ’ covering thing …
On her head is a basket . just plain fine wicker type, about 3 feet in diameter. I’m wondering, "What is
in her basket, Lord?" .for I can’t see the contents.
She walks then, very erect, and is really graceful and lovely, stately languid walk . wearing some kind
of sarong type dress … I see her make her way across some brushy dry ground, yellow long grass
etc. she is on some kind of trail to a stream or river (i.e. Bigger than a stream, but would be a smallish
river ? - about 12-15 feet across). She gets down on her knees here, and removes the basket from
her head, at the rivers edge. I see then that her basket is full of clothing, different colored articles of
clothing, and I realize she’s come here to wash these in the river. This kinda’ surprises me -- because
of her valuable ‘gold neck jewelry’, I assumed she was a woman of some wealth, i.e. not a
washerwoman, plus she just looked so regal …but evidently she’s not that wealthy, but must come
here to do the family wash …
As she gets the first article of clothing out of the basket she places it in the water, & it is immediately
washed downstream. Even though I see it caught up on a small rock, she doesn’t go after it at all ! I
watch as she takes out one piece of clothing after the other, one at a time, and does the same with
each one . as if she’s going to wash it clean, but immediately the garment is washed right out of her
hands and away downstream. … she doesn’t seem upset at all, at this turn of events.
Finally the basket is emptied of clothing and she tips it slightly to look closely in the bottom for
something there … I see then a coin about the size of our .50 cent pieces – a little larger and thicker. I
can’t tell if this coin is silver or gold . I’m really trying to see if it’s silver or gold, but all I can see is that
it’s colored somewhere in between these two - I think maybe this is the color of what they call "White
Gold" - I don’t know really? - maybe platinum is this color . not sure ?
She takes this coin out of the bottom of the basket, like this is what she was ‘going after’ all along.
She lifts it in the bright sunlight, and holds it in front of her face, admiring it for some time, as if the coin
is a real treasure. Turning it in the light, looking and inspecting this coin …
So then, I’m quite surprised when she suddenly throws the coin straight upwards into the air . I mean
WAY up it flies, spinning into the sky (an impossible toss in reality). Straight up . no curving, just
straight up it flies. Her head is tilted back looking after the coin she’s thrown as she gazes
heavenward … So, I’m looking too . it’s actually flown up so high that the coin goes out of sight … I’m
waiting for gravity to bring the coin back down to her, but it never falls back .
Instead three heavenly beings appear in a very tight semi-circle, just over the woman but up high, and
where she’s thrown the coin (angels - I don’t know, but they ‘glow’ white :). They all three have long
skinny gold trumpets. The Trumpets are very plain, but beautiful in their symmetry . 3 glowing beings in
the sky are facing semi-downwards, floating high above and over the woman and as they look
towards her they put the trumpets to their mouth and blow in unison,. Blow down upon the woman . in
her direction . aimed right at her…
I figure they’re announcing something to her . but to tell you the truth I then actually jumped an inch or
so off my chair (literally!) and gasped a bit, when suddenly, from the sky, right where the 3 glowing
trumpeter beings are, comes pouring down, raining down upon her coins! Like a great, great quantity
of these same type coins as the one she had in her basket originally, and then threw upwards. They
are raining down upon her, the river bank, and filling the basket sitting beside her – filling it to
overflowing, they’re spilling out of the basket . It was such a surprise to see… I thought I could hear that
sound of ‘change / coins rattling’ loudly, perhaps I did (?) … as they poured out of the sky like a
fountain and fell . upon her .and around her, like a river from the sky…a doorway had opened in the
heavens . just for this flow / fountain of coins…
She’s now joyous and playing with the coins with her hands and arms as they fall, . ones falling on her
head too, and the ones around her on the ground . almost like a child playing out in the first snowfall of
a winter season, but all the time she stays in the same spot, on her knees. Then after a certain huge
quantity has come down, they stop being poured out. In the distance many folks are now coming --
running to her, from all three sides of her they are coming (i.e. just not from the riverside in front of her).
All are excited, because of the coins from the sky. They seem to be mostly children. Brown skinned
native children - Many!, and some few adults too. Laughing and hooting and shouting they are, as they
come…. As the vision closes I hear, "Now … go and buy white linen!"
( The impression being that now she was rich, the old clothing is gone, and she can afford to buy the
new white garments now – like No Problem ! . Go and buy freely ! -- with all this wealth she has been
miraculously gifted… )
Some interpretation:
At first, as I was receiving the vision, I thought it was about Africa directly, but then I was somewhat
confused as the river appeared as one familiar to me in this Pacific Northwest region of N. America
(boulders, rocks, small whitecaps, etc.), which seemed incongruous to the dry plains looking area the
woman was in. After asking The Lord for further interpretation of this vision, I now feel this was God
showing me the vision was not confined, but was addressing ministries of His Church in different
areas of the world, i.e. not confined to a certain geographical place.
Right after receiving this vision I found information concerning Nubia / Nubian, for I had no idea why I
was impressed with ‘Nubian’ woman, rather than African Native woman, once it was given placement
. but I did specifically feel ‘Nubian woman’ as the vision unfolded … I looked Nubia and Nubian up in
my mother’s ‘old’ dictionary (wasn’t in the newer one!) . Nubia was Southern Egypt area . from the Nile
to the Red Sea… Nubians were ‘mixed’ descent people of color . & usually *slaves*.
The neck ‘thing’ in the beginning seemed all important (first the giraffe, then her neck) . Now, I can’t tell
you for certain whether she still had the neck ‘thing’ on in the end or not ? . but I believe *not*. I’d
completely forgotten about it by then -- For in the end finally it was the -- Flood of Many Coins, then the
Running People, and the ‘Word’ spoken, that impressed me so strongly.
*I feel God is speaking through this vision to ministries that have been in financial & spiritual
constraints (Nubian Woman - Slave) from and of the ‘world’ systems (Egypt - world wealth, Cleopatra
type gold ‘harness’ on neck) … then it is showing the miraculous heavenly provisions of God,
*Miraculous* (& hopefully / prayerfully coming soon ) *Very importantly, this vision needs to be
INTERCEEDED FOR and PRAYED IN (woman on knees at river), which I believe many are earnestly
doing right now . * The old family (Church) covering / clothes (spotted animals / garments?) must be
washed away in This river of Holy Spirit flowing… *Offering up the ‘one’ treasured coin is showing that
she is giving out ‘all that she has’, in financial & spiritual ministry, at this time. My own pastor, after
reading this vision, felt the one coin from the woman’s basket represented pure ‘Faith’ being released
heavenward … *This is being released straight up into the heavenlies spiritually, and her prayer (on
knees at river) heavenward (face looking upwards) will enable the announcement and release (3
trumpeter’s) of God’s Miraculous heavenly provisions (fountain/river of coins).
Those people running to the now wealthy woman in the end, are ones who will then come to these
ministries (His Church/Woman) . i.e. children (children spiritually as they come in) as well as some of
those more mature ones (adults) . It struck me that there were many more children (Who I’m strongly
impressed represent, even in the natural, hordes of ‘Young People’) running in …a good harvest
coming and resulting from this miraculous provision of God – ALL Glory to The King!
I believe the ‘Word’ I then heard clearly spoken is biblically evident ‘Now…go and buy white linen’ .
Rev. 3:18, Rev. 19:8 & 14 . after she allowed the (old/'spotted') garments to be washed away . & I
believe the neck is free from the harness of Egypt, these ministries (Church/woman) will now have
heavenly provision of God (many coins) to buy His White garments for Herself (without spot or wrinkle)
to give out to the ‘running children and people’ who come to joyously receive of Her.

To Boldly Go...
Paul Davies
The following Revelation was received by Paul Davies on 8th Nov, 1998. As with all prophetic words,
these must be weighed and tested with a spirit of humility and repentance. Where Bible passages are
referred to, the interpretations given are not intended to be seen as the interpretation of the passage,
but as God speaking to his people's current situation by giving an interpretation.
I was reflecting on the ponderous resistance of the church - even those bodies at the forefront of what
the Lord is doing at the moment - to adapting quickly to new directions the Lord brings. At the recent
Kevin Prosch Concert in Adelaide, the drummer, Martin Neal, explained why the Band uses many
traditional instruments from different cultures around the world. He said: "The Church has selected a
certain type of song, and called it worship, and ignored the other styles and sounds of music that exist
around the world".
Tommy Tenney, in a workshop address at the April Dallas Conference, commented that the reason
God has not shown His Glory in the church is that we have set up our churches for what makes people
comfortable, not for what makes God want to come and Hang Out.
As I pondered this, and the responses of various people in our church to the Concert, the Lord
impressed to me the words "To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...." As a Star Trek fan, I
immediately recognised the reference to the Starship Enterprise's motto, and thought "Oh come on..."
The Lord impressed me strongly that this was Him, and that the Starship Enterprise was a Prophetic
sign to the forthcoming Generation of the Righteous. Their Mission statement is the same as the
Enterprise: "To Boldly Go Where No Man has Gone Before". He reminded me that the original series
of Star Trek had aired in 1965, when He had begun releasing the Anointed Seed of the Generation of
the Righteous. These people receive the Double-portion: the Holy Spirit without any limits, and they
will boldly take the church beyond its current boundaries and limitations, as they explore the fullness of
the Lord's plan for this world.
Many Prophetic People are currently receiving revelation from the Lord about the emerging "New
Breed", and that the Lord is about to change the Church, and focus her outwards into the world. I
believe that the Lord has used the concept of the Starship Enterprise, and her mission statement, to
encourage us that the Former Things are not to be continuing much longer, and that God is a God of
New Things. As Paul Cain says: "The Lord dwells outside the camp".
Isa. 42:9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they
spring into being I announce them to you."
Exod. 33:7 Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance
away, calling it the "tent of meeting." Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of
meeting outside the camp.
Hebr. 13:13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.

The Orange Tree

by Dick Funnell
A sincere thank you to Dick Funnell for this timely message to the body of Christ, not only to
Guatamala, but to the body of Christ around the world.
This article first appeared in Vital Words From the Body to the Body, No. 38 Vitalwords@aol.com
The Orange Tree

A houseguest in the home of friends in Guatemala City, I arose early to pray and prepare before sharing in one of
the Verbo churches there. Seated on the patio behind the house, as I prayed I was also observing the beauty of their
garden. Suddenly my gaze was drawn to an orange tree about 10 feet tall, and specifically to a white blossom. It
seemed to jump out at me in a curious manner, and I realized that it was the only flower on the whole tree, at least
from my vantage point. At the same time, I felt the Lord wanted to show me something, so I got up and went to
have a look at what it was.
As I drew close to the tree, I began to circle around it very slowly to see if there were any other blossoms, and I
only found two or three more. I couldn't even see any other buds on the way. As I made this "inspection", I was
immediately aware that the tree was very sick. As I studied its condition with more interest, the Lord impressed on
me that He was showing me the condition of the church in Guatemala. My heart was torn and I wept with deep
sorrow, but at the same time I wept because the presence of God was so tangibly strong. He showed me branch by
branch the different afflictions of the church, and that is what I proceed to explain here.
Many of the leaves of the tree were dried and twisted up, their color was like dark bronze, no longer green at all.
They had reached their normal size, but something was obstructing the flow of sap, and they were very diseased and
some were already dead. These leaves were the people who had been with us for years, but were no longer
receiving the needed nutrition, not even the basics. It wasn't due to lack of the substances needed to continue growth
in size, rather they lacked the nutrients to continue functioning as mature leaves, which should by now be supplying
materials for new growth in other parts of the tree, such as branches, roots and new shoots and leaves. These
brethren were still connected to the church, but they were not receiving life, and thus weren't producing new life
either.
On the ground beneath the tree there was a great number of dead leaves, and my heart was stirred more on seeing
what they meant. Each one represented one of the many brethren that are no longer connected to the church. Many
if not all of us in leadership have known them, we have loved them, and we have ministered to their lives with care,
but they were no longer with us. Perhaps their lives were too complicated, or they just had too many problems, or
they didn't respond well to counsel. There were others who had asked for help and were never given it. And
perhaps there were still others who made us uncomfortable or even confronted us directly about areas in our own
lives, and instead of persevering in loving them and reconciling them, we rather opted for leaving them out of our
hearts. I don't want to elaborate more on this point, but the Lord is grieved by this situation. These brethren are His
beloved children, and they haven't been rejected from His heart.
There was another kind of leaves that were discolored, which on the back side had tiny little insects like white
scales. These didn't allow the air access to the pores of the leaves, and they slowly asphyxiated them. Besides, they
sucked the nourishment that supposedly gave strength to the leaves, and left them inert. They weren't dead, yet they
didn't have any life of their own. Perhaps these leaves represented the many brothers and sisters that do remain
faithful to the church, but due to their own growing necessities, all of their energy went towards just keeping afloat,
and all their time and strength went towards sustaining the family economy but none was left over for them to involve
their hearts and lives in the things of God.
In yet another part of the tree there was activity of hoards of ants that crawled up from the ground and made a
virtual highway of the branches and leaves to an area of the tree they were concentrating on. They cut and carried
off small bits of leaves and bark without any resistance to their retreat. There were hundreds of them, and they
carried out their work with great diligence, but unless someone come up for a close look, one would never notice
this was happening.
As I watched all this, I wept with tremendous grief upon seeing how great and diverse affliction this tree suffered. It
wasn't my anguish for the tree itself, but rather for the church and the many people we have loved, and whom the
Lord loves much more than we. The Lord's love and compassion for His church, for the condition so many lives that
need His loving touch was so intense that I couldn't restrain the tears that flowed down my cheeks during this whole
experience. His presence was so vivid that nothing else mattered more than seeing all that He showed me in each
leaf and tiny branch.
During my examination of the tree, I became aware that someone else had noticed the tree's condition and had tried
to help it. On many of the leaves there was evidence of an application of insecticide, because there was a thin whitish
layer on portions of the leaves. In other parts there was a different application of a coppery greenish colored
powder that was used to kill an invasion of fungus that had begun to cover the leaves. It was apparent that there had
been several applications in some areas, because the coating of the substance that had been applied to cure the
problem was so thick that it was causing more damage than good to the tree.
In the midst of all this that I was seeing, there was something quite precious. I rejoiced to discover that there were
several branches at whose tips were green and tender new leaves which were growing out heathy and vigorous.
They were like beautiful decorations in contrast to the overall condition of the tree. These leaves, although still small,
gave an aspect of hope and new life in several parts of the tree and they grew with abandon, seemingly oblivious to
the surrounding conditions. They hadn't been touched by the "remedies" that had been applied previously, and their
color was so fresh and wholesome that I was filled with happiness. These were all the brethren that had recently
joined the church, who were in love with Jesus, ministered to by the power of the Spirit, their eyes opened to see
God working in their lives, and with no other interest than just getting to know Him better, He who gave them new
life and hope in His great promises and eternal truths.
Among all that the Lord showed me that morning, there are some aspects in particular that I felt were of special
significance. The most obvious was how to attempt to heal the little tree. In the natural realm, someone had taken
external measures to combat the plagues of insects, scale, fungus and other maladies. But the fact that they weren't
working should have indicated the need for a systematic remedy. This is one which is applied to the soil beneath the
tree so that it can be absorbed through the roots and then carried to each part of the tree by the circulatory system
of the sap. In this way the sicknesses are attacked from within the tree itself, similar to how our own defenses work
in the human body.
As to how this all relates to the church, I saw that those external treatments were like the methods and programs that
we have applied to the church to maintain numerical and spiritual growth. In one degree, these do work and produce
a certain effect. But I had a clear sense that something in the church was not working well at the center of things, at
the level of the roots. I am referring to the level of personal relationship among the leadership. Of course there is a
relationship just because there are so many meetings and there is always contact, but is that enough? Are there
relationships like an intimate friendship, of really opening our hearts to one another and sharing our goals or even our
troubles, or is there just a cordiality in the context of a working together type friendship? With the pace of so many
activities in the churches, do we leave enough free time so that our leaders can really develop deeper relationships
among themselves?
The other side of relationship, and the most important, has everything to do with our personal and individual
relationship with the Lord. There exists a tendency that draws us into being so busy with the things of the Kingdom
that we don't spent enough quality time in intimacy with the King. And this is not due to a lack of devotion or desire
to love God, but it is simply the product of the growth in the church. This growth that we are so glad to see
happening around us brings with it more responsibilities, which in turn require more and more of our time. So then
we either start sleeping less, or we sacrifice those times of seeking the Lord and having that contact with Him which
is so vital to our spiritual health. For this is the source of everything, which we must at all cost cultivate and watch
over.
Well beloved, that's as far as I'll go with this for now. I hope these words serve to stir us up and stimulate us to
continue ever onwards, daily improving our fruitfulness as brothers and co-workers in the Kingdom of our God.
May the Lord bless you all!

Toronto Responses
Richard Riss
TO: Steve Powers

Regarding Critics' Responses to Toronto and other Revival Centers.
Steve, thanks for your note.

From my perspective, it is not the manifestations which have destroyed revivals, but criticisms--including criticisms of the
manifestations of the very kind that you were asking about. Have you read my writings on the history of the
manifestations? In them, there are examples of people who observed that when the manifestations were suppressed,
revival would subside.
The enemy is not giving up! First, he told everybody that the current revival is counterfeit because it has weird
manifestations that do not characterize genuine revival. Now that it has been demonstrated that the great revivals of the
past did have such manifestations, he is telling us (1) that since we are focusing on the manifestations then this cannot a
genuine revival, since this should not be the proper focus, and (2) that, since the manifestations did after all take place in
the great revivals of the past, then those manifestations must be what caused them to cease.
With respect to point (1) above, there would have been no need to focus on the manifestations except that the devil
attempted to "prove" the current revival false by saying that it is "aberrant" because of the manifestations. A response
was therefore necessary. As far as (2) is concerned, it seems clear to me that it was the critics who were instrumental in
bringing about a cessation of the great revivals of the past, not the manifestations.
The manifestations, of course, are seriously misrepresented by the critics. And, as I have written elsewhere, when
misrepresentations concerning revival become widely believed, they create stumbling blocks which prevent people from
partaking in the forgiveness, love, joy, refreshing, healing, reconciliation, character development, and other benefits which
are so freely available through a move of God of this kind. But if people are not afraid of entering into the revival, then they
cannot enjoy these benefits.
I hope this helps!

I Have Chosen You To Serve

Sherry Mackey
December 10, 1998:

Before Abraham was, I AM. I AM the beginning, and the end, I was and will ever be. All of your days
are written in My book, none of your circumstances have served to deter My purposes in your lives.
Just as I have always been, I have always been with you. The Son of Man did not come to be served,
but to serve. I served in life and death. I paid the ransom for your freedom and took the keys of death
and hell that had you shackled, releasing you into new life. Your value cannot be measured by earthly
standards. The key to how much something is worth, is the price that was paid for it. The ultimate
heavenly price was paid in full for you. When you understand your value to Me and in Me, then you can
walk in victory.
I have chosen you to serve. Some people in My kingdom seek designated seats of power, pushing for
positions that belong to another. These seats are for those whom it has been ordained and prepared
by My Father. Your success is your obedience to My place of position. Value isn't determined by
power or position. The latter of success will fall if it is not leaning on the right stone wall. Whoever
wishes to become chief among you, must become a servant. Your value is found in My finished work
in your hearts. That value is like a pearl of great price, a nugget of earnest Spiritual investment that
shall compound. So you want to be the right hand man? At My right hand there are pleasures forever
more. Whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly, shall be raised to honor.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and My righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.
Come out of isolation and worldly mindsets. I have given you the mind of Christ, so you can think the
way I think about the world you live in. I AM sending you into the community as secret agents of truth.
My ambassadors represent My principles and who I AM in a non threatening way. You are to be in this
world, but not of it. You are here to effect change in the places your feet take you. You are to possess
the land and gain access to areas long held by darkness. You are to effect, not be infected. There are
those driven to solitude for a season. They shall recover. Just as I sent Elijah back the way he came, I
AM sending you with orders. You shall recover and cover the allotted boundaries I have assigned. As
a blanket of warmth, your positive influence and prayers shall be a comfort and sustaining force for
many. Many are the plans in the mans mind, but it is My purpose that shall stand. Possess your land,
secure it, cast out the devils and declare, decree and establish My Word. I have assigned you to bring
light to the subject, says the Lord.
Watch and pray. A watchman sees from a higher perspective. You must be aware of your
surroundings and the world situations. Watch and pray. Watchmen what of the night? Watchmen what
of the company? Watchmen what of the job? Be faithful watchmen in the place I have ordained and
assigned to you. Above all, keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it come the issues of life. My
issues shall come out of your mouths and even your very actions, sometimes without a word. When
they notice your chaste lifestyle and conversation, they will take notice. I know the issues of man. I
know the issues of a community. I know the issues of a nation. Out of Daniel's heart came the issues
of life for the king. I made Daniel to find favor with the chief leaders of the Babylonian kingdom. In all
matters of wisdom and understanding which the king asked him, I made Daniel ten times better than
any educated Babylonian. I demonstrated My true prophetic power, humbling the magicians and
enchanters by simply opening the issues of life in the heart of My true servant. In confirming Daniel's
dreams and visions, I established and confirmed his ministry. I change the times and the seasons. I
remove kings and set up kings. I give wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have
understanding. I reveal the deep and secret things. I know what is in the darkness and the light dwells
with you! Fear not! Do not fear to step into your ordained lot! Allow Me to reveal the strategies says
the Lord.

A Word To The Shepherds Of The Lord

Matt Lewin
Greetings and humbleness in the Lord Jesus...
Hear now what the Sovereign Lord is saying to the body in the USA. Listen to me my children, how I grieve at your hard
hearts, how your ears are pricked by doctrines that you wish to hear, not that which you should hear. There are many
who shall be deceived by these wolves in sheep's clothing. There are many wolves among my flock and have scattered
them over the hills. I, the good shepherd am collecting my sheep, but many have ventured outside of my protection,
come back my loved ones, let me protect you!
I now have words for the shepherds who I have entrusted the care of my flock. How could you allow wolves to enter in
through the backdoor, you have let the foxes into the chicken coup. You teach interpretations of my word, engineered
doctrines, not my true word. My word is my divinely inspired word, I have spoken my word to be a guide unto the world,
many have twisted it and have not heeded the warnings that I have solemnly spoken in my word.
Some have altered its meaning, the tactic of mixing error with truth comes from the father of lies. Many shepherds have
fallen into bushes of deadly thorns which have a poison which blinds the mind and the heart. Oh my shepherds how I love
you all, I selected you and set you apart from the flock for the special purposes I have. Come back to me with
forgiveness and repentance in your heart. I knock on the doors of your hearts, but few of you will open the door!
I give all shepherds with ears to hear this solemn warning, teach my true word or I will strip you of all you have and bring
down the fury of my wrath upon you. Let those with ears to hear feel the power of my written word upon their hearts. I
speak to you through my prophets who I have anointed from heaven, heed these words. To the shepherds with a faithful
heart I shall command a blessing upon you to help in the dark times ahead, which must come.
Be strong my beloved for the time of great favour shall shortly be here. A king from the line of David full of integrity and
humbleness shall rise up and you shall see my glory upon him and shall gather under my banner and receive my
blessing. The old swords shall be thrown into the furnace and my divine sword shall be placed in your hands. Any secret
sin must be repented of, the new sword must be wielded by my pure holy warriors, any with secret sin this sword shall
consume them. Repent my beloved and be prepared to receive this new sword.
The time of blessing will soon come to an end, all the wells that where once plentiful shall dry up and become like a
barren desert, a spiritual desolation. I shall make new wells spring forth, those which shall humble themselves with a
broken and contrite heart I shall show tender loving-care. My heart for my people is full of love but I must show my anger
and punish sin, I MUST, for all scripture must be fulfilled.
I have shown great restraint, I will not hold back my anger for much longer. Hear my warning. All who do not listen to the
words of my prophets and reject my word reject me, as they reject me I shall reject them and throw them out into the
outer darkness. I do not wish to speak like this but my word will accomplish the tasks for which I have sent it and shall
not return to me void.
Once again the Lord gave me [JEREMIAH 50:6-7]
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them
away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have
sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers. (Jeremiah
50:6-7)
The Lord has spoken, all glory to the Lord now and forever more...

To Tread On Serpents
Bill & Marsha Burns
THE TRUMPET
October 18, 1998: The Lord say, behold I have given you power over all the works of the enemy. Behold I give you power
to tread upon serpents. Behold I give you authority over the dominion of Satan's world. Behold I give you weapons of
warfare that you might destroy all of the works of the enemy that come against you in this hour. Do not be deceived, for
the evil one has come to destroy you. Do not be deceived; he has come to take you prey. But, I say, behold I give you
power. Power! I said I give you power to walk forth in victory, power to bring the sword of the Spirit against the enemy of
your soul. I give you power, and I give you vision and insight by way of revelation into his devices that are formed against
you, and I say be victorious. Be more than conquerors. Come forth in the power of the kingdom; exercise the authority
that I have given you, and walk over all of his dominion. For surely, I say, you are free; whom the Son sets free is free
indeed. I come to walk with you in freedom and liberty.
October 16, 1998: You are the children of the Lord, the children of Zion. You sing those songs from your heart, and you
call Me Messiah; you call Me the Son of God; you call Me Savior; you call Me King. But, I come to you tonight to tell
you that many yet have not found Me. Many still do not call to Me out of an intimate relationship. They call Me not by
name, but they call me according to the images that they have engraved upon their hearts--graven images to the
unknown God. Surely, I say, that they have not yet found Me. I am coming with an anointing to break the yoke that has
held all of Mine from Me that they may find Me. I have spoken to you in times past that these are the days in which
many walk through the Valley of Decision, but I say to some of you that it is the dark valley of the soul where you cry out
wondering where I am, calling My name, but not able to find Me. But, I am just before you, waiting for you to reach unto
Me, waiting for you to take hold of My hand, so I can lead you through this hour of the darkness of the shadow of the
souls of men to bring you forth into new light and a new dimension. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
October 23, 1998: Rise up, those of you, My children, who have given in to despair. Turn from self-pity and identification
with the flesh and its desires and lusts. Establish your hope again in Me. There is nothing impossible for Me. But, I look
for and earnestly desire hearts that will believe in Me and trust Me. I say again, rise up! Exercise your authority over the
evil one. Haven't I said that I have given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the
enemy? Then, I say one more time, rise up and take the victory!
October 21, 1998: Mice in the house! Spiritual rodents that nibble and chew at the children's food. They gobble up the
seed of the Word. They are annoying creatures of the night that lurk in darkness and scurry silently about as thieves.
What are their names? Worry and anxiety, dissatisfaction, discontentment, irritation, trouble. They have come to rob you
of peace and your confidence in the Lord. Eradicate these pests! Rise up against them in faith. Resist the devil, and he
will flee from you. Otherwise, they will multiply and grow and become a plague against you.
October 20, 1998: What shall I do with this rebellious generation? I have held My hands out to you all day long. I have
courted, enticed and wooed you, but your harlotries have turned you away. I have desired to have you as My own
possession, but you would not. I have made a way and paid the ransom and given you gifts, but you have counted it all
as nothing. What is left to do? What could I do more than I have already done? Yet, you stand far off and refuse My love
and disdain My fellowship. There is nothing left to do but allow justice to have its perfect work. Weep and wail and cry
aloud, but it is time to reap the harvest of your iniquities. Those who are truly Mine will watch in amazement and horror
as judgment is poured out and the cup of My wrath is emptied on the rebellious and disobedient. Indeed, the day is at
hand for the restoration of all things when the earth and its fullness will be restored to its Creator.
October 19, 1998: (The word came to an individual, but is a good word for others in the Body.) The Spirit of the Lord
comes and says to you that you have been looking for breakthrough, but you still don't feel like you have had any
breakthrough. You still feel like you are in the pit. But, God says it is because you are looking for breakthrough and
relationship with Him and coming up higher in an old way. However, He is going to do something new in you, and it will
not be by way of feeling or something that you have done or experienced in the past. This is going to be a new thing that
He is doing. It will be by faith, and all that you have to do is believe it. He is bringing you to a new level; He's bringing you
up higher because your old level will no longer do. He has some things for you to do that will be above and beyond the
old level that you used to live at. You must trust Him and believe Him and come up by faith and not by feeling. Not by
feeling, but by faith! He is going to touch you and bring you to the place that He has ordained for you from the beginning
and before the foundation of the world. Let go of the lies that you are in an old place and never going to get out of that
bondage. You are already out of the bondage. All you have to do is take by faith what He has brought you into.
October 17, 1998: These are the days in which I am preparing My Bride, My Church. Many have been shaken awake and
have yielded to the preparation process. But, many still sleep, unaware of this cleansing and purging. They have fallen
into a stupor and are unaware of the activity in the spirit realm. They have grown dull of hearing and become sluggish in
their attitudes. Wake up, My people! The time of the end draws near. Get ready. Be prepared. Seek Me with all your
hearts. Rise up. See with your eyes and hear with your ears. Cleanse your hands and purify your hearts, for behold, I

A Real Christian
A W Tozer
I recently read a neat quote by A. W. Tozer which said:

"A real Christian is an odd number anyway. He feels supreme love for One whom he has never seen, talks familiarly
every day to Someone he cannot see, expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order to be
full, admits he is wrong so he can be declared right, goes down in order to get up, is strongest when he is weakest,
richest when he is poorest, and happiest when he feels worst. He dies so he can live, forsakes in order to have, gives
away so he can keep, sees the invisible, hears the inaudible, and knows that which passes knowledge." (from "The Root
of Righteousness", p.156)

The Plague of Monstrous Hail

Bryan Hupperts
November 25, 1998
There is a great error being propagated in the church concerning the Fatherhood of God. The idea is
that because God is so good, that he always will act as a gentle Father to all because, after all, what
loving Father wouldn't protect his creation? And these things in themselves are true of the Lord. But
like all heresy, it's only half of the story. The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 11:22,
"Note then the kindness and the severity of God."
Yes, God is kind but he is also severe.
Jesus is Savior but also Judge. The Lamb of God came first as a sacrifice but shall return with his
armies as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah to execute vengeance. According to Revelation 19:15, "From
his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron;
he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty."
Jesus, meek and mild, is also the same Jesus who will evoke this response in Revelation 6:16 from
terrified "Men (who) will call to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of him
who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.'"
We are entering times of judgment on this planet. Everywhere I go I hear the saints of God telling me
the same things: get your house in order, prepare for the coming judgment of God, seek the Lord
while he may be found. There is a holy fear rising up in the church as God begins to cull a godly
remnant out of His compromised, backslidden people. We are entering the days when the wrath of
God shall be revealed against ungodly men.
Isaiah 28:2 "Behold, the Lord has one who is mighty and strong; like a storm of hail, a
destroying tempest, like a storm of mighty, overflowing waters, he will cast down to the
earth with violence." God compares his strength in judgment to a hailstorm that shall fall
upon the ungodly.
Saints of God, we need fear the Lord only! His wrath is not directed at us. I believe we shall walk in a
holy protection in these last days even as the children of Israel were protected in the land of Goshen
as God's revealed wrath ravaged Egypt.
There are three troubling verses about hail in Revelation that the Spirit of God has unlocked for me.
They are:
Revelation 8:7 "The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed
with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the
trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up."
Revelation 11:19 "Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant
was seen within his temple; and there were flashes of lightning, voices, peals of thunder,
an earthquake, and heavy hail."
Revelation 16:21 "Great hailstones, heavy as a hundred-weight, dropped on men from

heaven, till men cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague."
I have read these accounts of future history where God will drop great hailstones on the earth
smashing crops, houses, livestock, and men all while revealing His Glory! And I see men shall curse
God because of the plague of heavy hail. While meditation on these verses. The Lord began to show
why this would be so.
By his own executive order, He will execute capital punishment and stone to death the sinners of the
earth!
Remember the story of the woman caught in adultery? The Law demanded that she be stoned to
death. When the crowd drug her before Jesus in John 8:7. "He stood up and said to them, 'Let him
who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.'" The crowd finally dissipated
because they all had harbored sin in their hearts.
When the Lord, the righteous judge, begins to rain hail upon the earth, the One who is WITHOUT sin
shall indeed cast the first stone. Under Levitical Law, there had to be two corroborating witnesses for
a thing to be established. And when someone was sentenced to death, the first witness had to throw
the first stone at the accused, and then the crowd finished the stoning when the sinner died.
Remember, according to Proverbs 14:5, "A faithful witness does not lie," and Revelation 1:5 states
that, "Jesus Christ (is) the faithful witness." He alone can execute judgment in righteousness, and he
alone can pronounce a death sentence and hurl the first stone. And that is why he will use a plague of
monstrous hailstones, to literally stone to death the hardened sinners of the earth who refuse to repent.
Stoning is not a New Testament practice for the church because in His unfolding revelation, God
reveals that he alone is capable of judging to death. He didn't quit being a holy and righteous God
when He revealed His love to us. Indeed, His kindness is meant to lead us to repentance. These
passages in Revelation have to do with the final days of wrath of both God and Satan. God is going to
take the gloves off, and deal ruthlessly with sin and those who love it's darkness. He is going to use
this terrifying plague of hail to stone sinners to death. Will they repent? Like Pharaoh, when the plague
of hail bombed Egypt into ruins, they will harden their hearts all the more, "Men cursed God for the
plague of the hail."
God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. When there is willful
sin, and men reject the abounding tender mercies of God, and finally say "no" to His grace, there
remains only certain judgment.
Romans 1: 18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
wickedness of men."
There are numerous passages that call for capital punishment by stoning. Among the sins that call for
capital punishment, there is adultery, touching what is holy without being holy, breaking the Sabbath,
being covetous, blaspheme, and committing abortion. In the United States alone, we have murdered
over 40 million unborn babies! How long can the wrath of God be restrained against us?
I find it interesting the Law of God was written on two tablets of stone. Jesus is called the Chief
Cornerstone. The theme of stone and God's revealed moral law run throughout scripture. He is the
same, yesterday, today, and forever.
God's wrath was once poured at Calvary where he judged His innocent Son for the sins of the world.
All who believe on Him are then pardoned and wrath is taken away.
1 Thessalonians 5:9, "For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation
through our Lord Jesus Christ."
God has done all he can ever do to save men. If the blood sacrifice of His Son is rejected, then the
Lord shall again pour out His wrath upon the earth because there is no other sacrifice for sin - and the
plague of hailstones is just one instance of it!
God is patiently calling men to himself. Many will repent and be saved while others go on in their sin
storing up wrath for themselves both in this life and the next. God counsels us in Zephaniah 3:8,
"Therefore wait for me," says the LORD, "for the day when I arise as a witness. For my
decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my
indignation, all the heat of my anger; for in the fire of my jealous wrath all the earth shall
be consumed."
Until that day, live a holy life and wait patiently knowing that God's mercies are new every morning - for
those who embrace them. Know also that his wrath is certain for those who reject his mercy.
Soberly,

When Nations Tremble

Bryan Hupperts
October 9, 1998
When nations tremble it is because the Lord has roused Himself to walk among men. His
approaching steps thunder like hoof beats from a stampeding herd of wild horses. He walks the lands
searching hearts for righteousness. He hungers to taste the fruit of His Spirit growing sweetly among
His tender vines. He longs to sip in communion with His saints the wine of His grace that He lavishes
freely. And for His enemies, with each measured step, kingdoms quake, countries fail, and nations
tremble.
The Lord has measured the nations like grains of sand on righteous scales; the nations are less than
nothing in His sight. While the kings of the earth plan their dark dread against God and His holy
people, the Lord laughs His terrifying laugh at the wicked. He shall suddenly rise and rage against
them and in a moment, they shall be no more. The terrifying echo of His laugh shall haunt them forever.
God is sifting the nations even as grain is sifted. He is tossing up and down, back and forth, shaking
all that can be shaken. He lets tyrants and evil men rise up to the measure of their own sin, and He
hurls them back scorned to be forgotten in the dust. Pharaohs have risen and vanished, Kings have
reigned by the score, Presidents and Prime Ministers etch their competing voice in the fading wind
and they all finally wither away. The man who fears the Lord remains steadfast forever.
When nations tremble they learn the fear of the Lord. He has roused Himself to walk among men. He
is coming with His reward for those who love His coming. For those who oppose Him, He will meet
them in battle and subdue them. Devils will fall, chains shall be shattered, the earth will seem as a
scorched field, and God alone will be glorified in that great and terrible day. As that day is quickly
approaching, the shadow of its dread falls like a curtain across the lands, and the nations tremble.

The End Of Trench Warfare

by Rick Joyner
This is from the MorningStar Prophetic Bulletin for June 98.

A new breed of leadership will soon arise in the Body of Christ. The coming spiritual generation will not be content to
wander in circles in the wilderness, and the coming leadership will be like Joshua and Caleb to lead them into the
Promised Land.
Even though Joshua lead the new generation across the Jordan, and in the battles to possess the land, he was not a
member of that generation. Joshua and Caleb were the lone survivors of the previous generation, which had left Egypt, but
perished in the wilderness. It will likewise be those of the previous generation who have kept the faith who will lead the
coming spiritual generation into its inheritance.
The first mention of Joshua in Scripture contains vital insights into his character, which we see in Exodus 17:9-16:
So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us, and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on
the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."
And Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of
the hill.
So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek
prevailed.
But Moses' hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur
supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set.
So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Write this in a book as a memorial, and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot
out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."
And Moses built an altar, and named it The LORD is My Banner;
and he said, "The LORD has sworn; the LORD will have war against Amalek from generation to generation."
The basic traits of Joshua's character that we can see in this text are:
1) He was able to mobilize the warriors of Israel (verse 9). The ability to mobilize others is a crucial gift for all who are
called to leadership. You are not a leader unless someone will follow.
2) In the next verse we see that "Joshua did as Moses told him." The greatest leaders have always been those who first
learned to be the best followers.
3) Joshua fought until he "overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword." The coming leaders will not
be fighting to just push the enemy--they are going to fight to win.
4) It will have been recited to the generation of leaders to come that the Lord will have perpetual war against Amalek until
even the memory of him is destroyed. In Scripture the Amalekites are a type of Satan and his hordes (They attacked at
night, preferring darkness to daylight, and constantly harassed the rear of the camp of Israel, picking off the weak or
stragglers who wandered from the camp).
The coming leadership will not tolerate the enemy's attacks on God's people, and their goal will be to see the works of
the devil completely destroyed. They will not tolerate evil in their own lives, or in those who they have been made
responsible for. It is written in the Book as a memorial for the Joshuas that the battle is not over until even the memory of
the enemy is blotted out. Satan will be destroyed, and even the memory of him will one day be blotted out. This was the
resolve that Jesus had who came "to destroy the works of the devil." It will be the resolve of all who become like Him.
Victory Or Death
Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers in the heavenly places. In this struggle
no quarter can be given. If we fail to drive the enemy completely out of our inheritance he will ultimately come back to
drive us out.
The first king given to Israel, Saul, also fought against the Amalekites, as we see in I Samuel 15. He compromised and
failed to completely destroy the Amalekites, and this failure brought the end to his own reign. This chapter quoted below
reveals many of the important points that will separate the leaders of the past from the leaders of the future.
Then Samuel said to Saul, "The LORD sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore,
listen to the words of the LORD.
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek {for} what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him on
the way while he was coming up from Egypt.

'Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man
and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."
Then Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim, 200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.
And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and set an ambush in the valley.
And Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for
you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites departed from
among the Amalekites.
So Saul defeated the Amalekites, from Havilah as you go to Shur, which is east of Egypt.
And he captured Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the
sword.
But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was
good, and were not willing to destroy them utterly; but everything despised and worthless, that they utterly
destroyed.
Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,
"I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not carried out My
commands." And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all night.
And Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and
behold, he set up a monument for himself, then turned and proceeded on down to Gilgal."
And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, "Blessed are you of the LORD! I have carried out the command
of the LORD."
But Samuel said, "What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?"
And Saul said, "They have brought them from the Amalekites, for the people spared the best of the sheep and
oxen, to sacrifice to the LORD your God; but the rest we have utterly destroyed."
Then Samuel said to Saul, "Wait, and let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him,
"Speak!"
And Samuel said, "Is it not true, though you were little in your own eyes, you were {made} the head of the tribes of
Israel? And the LORD anointed you king over Israel,
and the LORD sent you on a mission, and said, 'Go and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight
against them until they are exterminated.'
"Why then did you not obey the voice of the LORD, but rushed upon the spoil and did what was evil in the sight of
the LORD?"
Then Saul said to Samuel, "I did obey the voice of the LORD, and went on the mission on which the LORD sent
me, and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
"But the people took {some} of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the things devoted to destruction, to
sacrifice to the LORD your God at Gilgal."
And Samuel said, "Has the LORD as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of the
LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, {And} to heed than the fat of rams.
"For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected
the word of the LORD, He has also rejected you from {being} king."
Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; I have indeed transgressed the command of the LORD and your words,
because I feared the people and listened to their voice.
"Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."
But Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has
rejected you from being king over Israel."
And as Samuel turned to go, {Saul} seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.
So Samuel said to him, "The LORD has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to your
neighbor who is better than you.
"And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; for He is not a man that He should change His mind."
Then he said, "I have sinned; {but} please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and go
back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."
So Samuel went back following Saul, and Saul worshiped the LORD.
Then Samuel said, "Bring me Agag, the king of the Amalekites." And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag
said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."
But Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women."
And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.
Then Samuel went to Ramah, but Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.
And Samuel did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel grieved over Saul. And the LORD
regretted that He had made Saul king over Israel.
In I Corinthians 10:11 we are told that the things that were written were "...written for our instruction upon whom the ends
of the ages have come." The points made in the chapter quoted above are so crucial that we must take the time to
carefully examine them. They reveal both the characteristics and traps that will befall the leadership that will ultimately
fail, which are:
1) Saul fell to the trap of showing "unsanctified mercy," which is to show mercy to those that God has under judgement.
God is love. Jesus came to save the world, but He is also coming back to judge it. As Paul exhorts us in Romans 11:22,
"Behold now the kindness and the severity of God." If we cannot behold both together we will not perceive God as He is,
and we will not be able to walk in His appointed leadership.
2) Saul kept the best of the sheep and oxen alive "to sacrifice them to the Lord." This is the trap of presuming that the
things of Satan could actually be used in worshiping the Lord. It does not matter how good the things of Satan appear,
just as Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, we have been sent with the same purpose (John 17:18).
3) After the victory Saul set up a monument to himself. Throughout Scripture whenever a godly leader won a great victory
they would build an altar to the Lord. Self-seeking is one of the most destructive motives that can befall one called to lead
God's people. That Saul would build a monument to himself is a revelation that he had fallen to the trap of thinking more
highly of himself than he should.
4) Saul fell to the delusion that he could substitute obedience for sacrifice. Samuel told him that "rebellion is as the sin of
witchcraft" because such manipulation is a subtle form of witchcraft. Trying to use sacrifices, or other forms of religious
performance as a compensation for sin or disobedience, is an affront to the cross through which we can alone be
forgiven. This delusion is also a root of the "religious spirit."
5) Saul admits that he sinned because he feared the people, but confessing sin is not always the same as repenting for
the sin. To repent means both to turn away from the sin and turn to God. Even though Saul admitted that he sinned he
did not turn from the sin or to God, which was evidenced by him then compelling Samuel to honor him before the people.
It is also revealing that when Saul talked to Samuel he used the terms "my people" and "your God." When any leader
fears the people more than they fear God they will depart from following the Lord, and succumb to counterfeit spiritual
authority which the Bible calls "witchcraft."
6) Saul still insisted on worshiping the Lord, which he obviously did more for the sake of the people than for the Lord. To
use worship of the Lord for the sake of influencing people must be one of the most profane acts of a perverted human
soul. When those in spiritual leadership fall to this they have fallen to a depth of delusion that will ultimately lead to the
same kind of doom that Saul suffered.
7) Such strong, but perverted, leaders will insist that the prophets honor them before the people. Do not do it. Even
though Samuel did go and anoint David to replace Saul, we see that this was the beginning of the end of Samuel's
ministry as well.
Recovering All That Was Stolen
Presuming to use the things that are Satan's to worship the Lord is not the same as taking back that which Satan has
stolen from us. King David is another biblical model of the leadership that will be used to lead God's people into the
possession of their promises. David was actually the one who conquered all of the land which they had been promised,
which was not completed by Joshua. It is a prophetic incident that when David was fighting with the Philistines the
Amalekites raided his camp, kidnapping his family and the families of all of his men, along with their possessions. David
pursued the Amalekites, and, as we read in I Samuel 30:18-19:
So David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and rescued his two wives.
But nothing of theirs was missing, whether small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that they had taken for
themselves; David brought {it} all back.
It is for this reason that we feel compelled to take back such things as musical styles that were born in the church but
stolen by the enemy. Satan is a thief and a counterfeiter. We must not abandon one thing to him that he has stolen, and
we must not reject a single gift, ministry or experience of the Spirit just because he counterfeits them. Neither can we
allow fearful or paranoid Christians to dictate what we do. We must be led by faith, not by fear, and resolutely commit
ourselves to retaking everything that Satan has stolen from the church. However, we must be discerning of the practices
and doctrines that have their origin in darkness, and not allow them to be used in worship of the Lord.
King David also continued fighting the Amalekites until they were completely destroyed. After his reign they are no longer
mentioned in Scripture. The final blow that completed their destruction came by warriors from the Tribe of Simeon, as we
see in I Chronicles 4:42-43: And from them, from the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to Mount Sear, with
Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their leaders.
And they destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites who escaped, and have lived there to this day.
Simeon means "hearing" and it will be through those who have ears to hear who will utterly destroy the works of the
enemy.
Joshua and David had another remarkable characteristic that was common to both of them, which will also be found in
the coming leadership of the church--they both had the patience and wisdom to wait for their appointed time before
assuming leadership. Possibly the greatest trial of all is waiting. Possibly the greatest demonstration of faith is the ability
to wait for God's perfect time.
Joshua and Caleb had been appointed with ten others to spy out the Promised Land before Israel was to go in to conquer
it. The other ten spies came back with an evil report, saying that the giants and fortresses were too much for them.
Joshua and Caleb reported seeing the same, but they so trusted the power of God to give them the victory that they were
not concerned about the problems or the giants. Because Israel believed the evil emphasis of the ten fearful spies that
generation was doomed to wander in circles in the wilderness until they all perished. Even though Joshua and Caleb had
believed God they had to wander in circles with that generation until they all perished before they could go into possess
their promises. This must have been a much greater test of their faith than seeing the giants or fortresses in the land.
The coming leadership of the church will have spent their time wandering in the wilderness with the faithless, but this will
not have sapped their faith. They will have used this time to grow in faith. Joshua spent 40 years as a servant waiting for
his time. Not one time do you read of his complaining about it. Such waiting will not erode true faith, but strengthen it. In
Exodus 33: 9-11 we probably see the primary reason why Joshua was chosen to succeed Moses and lead God's people
into the Promised Land:
And it came about, whenever Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the
tent; and the LORD would speak with Moses.
When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would arise and worship,
each at the entrance of his tent.
Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the
camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
What an awesome sight this must have been! Even though Joshua was a servant he was privileged to be a servant to one
of the greatest men of God who ever lived. Moses had such a relationship to the Lord that whenever they met the Lord
would come down to him and talk to him like a friend. Even so, we see here that being the closest associate of the
greatest man alive at that time was not enough for Joshua. When Moses departed from the tent Joshua stayed there,
developing his own relationship to the Lord. Joshua honored Moses all of his life, but he was not content to be the
associate of someone who knew the Lord well--Joshua had to know the Lord for himself. Such will be the constitution of
the coming leadership of the church.
David was also willing to patiently serve the house of Saul. David honored Saul all the days of his life even though Saul
persecuted him and tried to kill him. David would not lift his hands against the leader who God had anointed before him,
even though Saul became insane, killed the priests of the Lord, and even fell into witchcraft. Even though David had been
anointed to replace Saul, the Lord had been the one to appoint Saul and the Lord would have to be the one to remove
him. Even after Saul died David patiently waited for the Lord to establish him. It was that kind of respect for authority and
the anointing that compelled God to remain faithful to David through his own tragic mistakes.
If David had killed Saul and taken the kingdom by his own hand, he would have had to reign in perpetual fear of someone
doing the same to him. We will reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7). The coming leadership will not lift their hands against
the present leaders of the church, even those who have become spiritually insane and begun to persecute the truly
anointed. They will wait for the Lord to remove the ones that He previously chose, and then they will wait for the Lord to
establish them. When you know that God has given you the authority that you have, and that you did not get it through
your own self-promotion, you can rest in the invaluable peace that comes from this knowledge. If you strive to gain your
position you will have to strive to keep it. Such striving is the root of counterfeit spiritual authority.
No More Trench Warfare
General John J. Pershing, who commanded the U.S. Forces in World War I, is a modern example of the kind of
leadership that is about to be raised up in the Body of Christ. When the Spanish American War broke out Pershing was
38 years old and still a 1st. Lieutenant. There were generals younger than he was. Even so, he never complained, but
determined to be the best 1st. Lieutenant in the army.
Pershing won a Silver Star for gallantry in the charge up San Juan Hill, and was promoted to captain. He remained a
captain until he was 44. During this time he was shipped off to the Philippines. While the other officers spent their time
studying the sunsets from their verandas, Pershing studied. A prominent factor in the life of every great leader is that
during the lulls in the action, or during the long years of waiting until their time, THEY DID NOT WASTE THEIR TIME.
Like Joshua and David, the long time that Pershing spent waiting did not sap his resolve, but galvanized it. Even if he
remained a captain, he was determined to be the best captain in the army, prepared for whatever his country might need
him for.
The incredible patience of Pershing finally paid off. President Teddy Roosevelt remembered him from San Juan Hill, and
promoted him past a host of other officers all the way to Brigadier General. Just a little over a year later the United States
entered World War I, and Pershing was promoted again, becoming the Supreme Commander of the U.S. Forces in
Europe. The man who had just recently been a junior officer leading a single company was about to lead two million men
into one of the most important battles in history.
It was written of General Pershing that even when he was a 1st. Lieutenant he carried himself like a general. Even though
he always saw himself as a general, during the many years that could have been the supreme frustration of a man of his
ability, he did not complain or waste away in bitterness--he just kept preparing for the day that he would be needed.
Because of this when his time came he was ready, and would have to be included on the short list of the great generals
in history.
When the Americans entered World War I the British and French Allies had been bogged down in a demoralizing and
costly trench warfare for nearly 3 years. Millions had died in meaningless attacks to take a few hundred yards of ground,
which would inevitably be given back again to a counter-attack. Is this not much like the present state of the Body of
Christ? We have been stalemated by the enemy and confined to what amounts to trench warfare for centuries. It is big
news when any ground is taken, but then we usually read a little later that it has been lost again to the enemy.
When you're in the trenches if you stick your head up a little higher than anyone else to try to see you will be shot at. If
anyone today tries to rise above the confines that everyone else is wasting away in they will quickly become the target of
a multitude of accusers. The enemy is doing all that he can to keep us pinned down in the trenches. It is a victory for him
to just keep us stalemated.
The British and French armies were near exhaustion when America entered the war. The entire strategy of the leadership
of that time was to try to find replacements for the casualties, which were many. No one could see a way out. The only
hope of the Allies was to outlast the Germans, to have a few men left when they ran out. This was not working as the
Allies were running out of troops, and depleting their reserves to reinforce the front lines. Their strategy for using the fresh
American troops was to use them as reinforcements in the trenches. Pershing was determined that his troops would not
be wasted in such a meaningless stalemate.
Finally the British and French Prime Ministers called him to a conference to personally pressure him into accepting their
plan. The General shocked the Prime Ministers when he stood up, declared that he had already considered their plan
and rejected it, and then walked out of the room leaving two of the most powerful men in the world sitting in stunned
silence.
Pershing came to Europe for one reason--if he was going to fight he was going to fight to win. He could not be budged
from his position, and the Prime Ministers capitulated, agreeing to let the Americans fight together as a separate force.
While the American troops were being mobilized and trained he did agree to use some of them as temporary
reinforcements for the British and French, but demanded that they be returned as soon as he called for them. This not
only helped hold the lines while the Americans were mobilizing, but it also gave many of them some badly needed battle
experience.
When the Germans launched their long expected offensive in the Spring, Pershing called for his dispersed troops, and
met it head on. The Americans quickly proved their metal in battle, winning a series of notable victories. Then Pershing
stunned the Germans by meeting the offensive with an attack of his own, breaking through the enemy lines in just two
days, and sending the entire German offensive reeling.
Pershing did not lose time celebrating such a great victory. He pressed the attack. He threw over a half million men at
the very enemy positions which the British and French had considered impregnable, the Argonne Forest. The battle
raged for 47 days at an intensity almost unprecedented even in this bloody war. Over 122,000 Americans fell, but
Pershing continued to push his commanders forward, at times fighting from tree to tree. Finally the Americans broke
through the most strategic point of the German defenses, cutting their lines of supply and communication. The Kaiser
fled to Holland, and Germany was forced to surrender. Pershing's refusal to fight trench warfare had broken the stalemate
and won the war. Just weeks before there did not appear to be an end in sight, but the visionary Pershing saw one, and
pressed the attack until he prevailed.
We Must Fight To Win
The predicament of the Allies in World War I is a parallel of the present state of the church. We have been bogged down
in trench warfare for so long that many of the present leaders can no longer see beyond just trying to get reinforcements
so that they can hold on to their present positions a little longer. These gain encouragement for their position from Luke
19:13 (KJV), when the Lord said, ".... occupy till I come." This is an obvious misunderstanding of this verse, as the whole
point of this parable is that the Lord is going to reward those who do the most with what they have been entrusted with,
obviously trying to encourage aggressiveness. The word translated "occupy" here literally means "to do business with."
To remain bogged down in trenches is a sure way to bury your talents, and a multitude of good soldiers with them!
Even so, to a great extent the victory in World War I must be attributed to the incredible endurance and sacrifice of the
British and French forces. It should be likewise considered a great accomplishment for the church to have been able to
hold as much ground as she has through the continual onslaughts of the evil one over the centuries. Just as the British
and French were our allies in this war, all who have stood for truth and righteousness against the great darkness of our
times are our allies, and are deserving of honor. But staying in the trenches is no way to win a war. For many years few
of the reinforcements have been new converts, but are mostly borrowed or stolen from other parts of the army. This
cannot go on much longer, and it won't. There are fresh troops coming from powerful new movements that are about to
win a multitude of new believers. However, these fresh troops are not to be wasted in the present trench warfare.
Just as the British and French were near exhaustion when America entered the war, the present spiritual forces of the
church are near exhaustion. Just when it may seem that the next great offensive of the enemy will be our doom, fresh
new movements are now arising which will not only stop it, but go on the offensive.
The present, weary, leadership that has been embattled for so long, can hardly see beyond the trenches, which is
understandable. Prime ministers will exert all of the pressure that they can to use these new converts for their own
reinforcements, but this must not be done. Just as Pershing allowed a few of his troops to be used this way to meet
emergencies, but demanded that they be returned to him as soon as he called for them, it is likewise right for us to use
the new movements to help hold the lines in an emergency, but this must be temporary. The new movements are called
to fight together as one force in a great coming offensive action that will bring a victory.
The seeming foolishness of the new breed of leaders to actually believe that the war can be won is going to bring about
some considerable discord with the present leaders. Many of the Christians who are used to only fighting in the trenches
are going to be discouraged when the new believers refuse to get in the trenches with them. However, the new
movements which are being raised up are called to take the fight to the enemy. By being willing to suffer the ire of the
present leaders by refusing to be pressured into doing things the same old way, these new movements will be positioned
to break the stalemate and break through the enemy's battle lines.
Also, many of the leaders of these new movements are going to be like General Pershing, having faithfully served as
"junior officers" in the church for a very long time. Those who have served well, without giving into bitterness or self-pity,
but have used their time waiting to grow in faith and wisdom, are about to be given authority. The greatest leaders for the
new movements will come from the previous generation, but many of these old "junior officers" who are promoted will
have the best new strategies. They will not be fighting just to win a few battles. They are going to fight to win the war.

The Ring Of Authority

Given to me by Holy Spirit 2-19-96
Lowly I came, lowly I left. This world had nothing in Me while I was here. Yet the church goes on
rationalizing it's defense of luxurious living today in America, without regard for the poor and afflicted
around them. I said
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where neither moth nor rust destroy and
where thieves break in and steal." Matt. 6:19 NKJ
"Foxes have holes, birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no where to lay
His head." Luke 9:58 NKJ
Yet these scriptures are highly disregarded.
The ring of AUTHORITY will never fit the hand that disregards the need of his brother or sister with
callous indignation. Superimpose My way of life over the lives of those in My church today and there's
a disparate comparison therein.
I AM the Way the Truth and the Life.
" I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit;
for without Me, you can do nothing." John 15:5 NKJ
(My note: the following is not a suggestion)
"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love
has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:12-14 NKJ
"You are my friends IF you do whatever I command you." 1John 3:16 NKJ
Arise church of God...this IS your finest hour....


Into My Triumph
Pam Clark
Prophetic word given through Pam Clark 6/26/98
O My Children,
As the end days approach
Do not think that I would leave you or forsake you
Though times get hard...
I have not forgotten the price

That My Son has paid for you
Nor should you!
More was bought and restored than just escapes from death
For restoration was secured through My Spiritual gifts
But they must be used...
Many do not have the proper attitude toward these gifts

Therefore many misuse them and defile themselves and others
But I would not have it so and I have made provision for that!
Seek Me!
Do not seek a man or woman of human flesh

For My gifts are of Spirit, for I Am a Spirit
And it is by the power of My Spirit that you shall attain,
not by your might or power...
Remember in the time of Israel's troubles

I declared that who would so ever look upon the serpent
Lifted high on a pole would be delivered
From the bite of the snake...
And so ye, as you look and see that

My Son rose high on a stake,
Bearing your shame and taking it ALL, So shall you be delivered.
For I cannot look upon you with sin

Without the blood covering of My Son.
Acknowledge My Son and His Love for you
Even more than your own sinful ways...
Praise Me for what I have done for you...

For it was Love that bought you and paid the price
And it is Love that will meet you at Heaven's gate,

If you know My Son...
To know Him is to know that He wants the best for you

And your total restoration.
But My restoration is by My Truth and My Word.
Look to My power! It is enough!
You can do all things through the Anointing which Strengthens and enables you.
Do not cower before the enemy nor be intimidated by him,
Declare My Love for you!!!
And know that as you believe

In the good for others and yourself,
Every joint will supply you to total victory.
You are My Body!
Look for Me in every member and part

For I have need of you there.
And when you find not Me, softly go on

And pray that My will would be done
On earth as it is in Heaven.
For it is in lining up with Me and My Word and My Will that

The enemy will be overcome.
And My triumphal glories which have so long been held back

Will rain in the Glorious Latter Rain of my Heavenly delights
Within you and upon you.

The True Identity of the Church

A Teaching from the Word
by Nita Johnson
There have been different teachings handed down over the years concerning this doctrine of the "One New Man" and
questions raised about what God is going to do with the issue of the Jewish nation of Israel. In this article we are going to
address both subjects as in reality they walk hand in hand. First, we will speak about what covenants, if any, that God
still has with Israel as a nation or people. Then we will discuss the "One New Man" that God is creating under the title of
the Church.
ISRAEL IN COVENANT
The question looms on the minds of most Christians; "Is God still in covenant with Israel or isn't He?" The answer is yes!
God is still in covenant with His firstborn. For Paul asks in Romans 11:1: Has God totally rejected and disowned His
people? To which he answers: of course not!
Let me explain; we find many times in the Bible, the words; "In the latter days." Jacob mentioned this in Genesis chapter
49 as he began his prophetical statements over his twelve sons. Again in Isaiah chapter two we see another prophetic
promise beginning with the words: "In the latter days." Further, we again see these words at the end of a prophetic word
from Jeremiah. In chapter 30:22 he promises Israel that God will not forget them in their backsliding ways, when he says:
"Then you will be my people and I will be your God." (Is this not a covenant?) In verse 24 Jeremiah finishes his word with
letting the hearer know that this will occur in the latter days.
God did set aside His covenant with Israel, but not without promising that another new and better covenant would be
established. While on the other hand the Lord set aside His covenant with His firstborn He also states in Hosea that His
bowels are kindled for His people and that as often as He speaks against them He loves them still, and cannot forget
them. So, we see in Christ that a new covenant is established with anyone who would turn from their unbelief, the Jew
first and then the Gentile. In the meantime, the Lord in effect overlooks His Jewish people as a nation and focuses His
attention on the Gentile world. It is as though God blinks for a moment. Not that He has totally rejected the Jew for if that
were true, we would never have seen another Jew come to the Lord. Again Paul addresses this issue with: Why, I myself
am an Israelite, a descendent of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin! Further, So too at the present time there
is a remnant, (a small believing minority) selected (chosen) by grace (by God's unmerited favor and graciousness.)
Paul continues to speak about this in his thesis to the Romans. He tells us that God has put a spirit of slumber upon the
nation as a whole, but only for a moment, for with age enduring love will the Lord gather them together unto Himself once
again. God's original covenant with Israel was with Abraham as Paul points out and in a sense that covenant will never be
broken until it is completely fulfilled. Paul says it like this: "From the point of view of the Gospel (good news), they [the
Jews, at present] are enemies [of God], which is for your advantage and benefit. But from the point of view of God's
choice (of election, of divine selection) they are still the beloved (dear to Him) for the sake of their forefathers. For God's
gifts and His call are irrevocable," (Rom. 11:28 & 29A) Therefore we see that God broke off some of the original olive
branches to make room for some wild branches which in this case would be the Gentile. But, the day would come in the
day of the fullness of the Gentile, that God would graft the original branches back in once again. This is a metaphor and
not to be taken as though God has utterly rejected Israel. For if that were His intent He never would have brought forth
His Messiah through the loins of Israel. Nor would He have spoken about a future time, another day, in the life of His
firstborn when He would look back once again to reclaim His eldest son. No, this speaking of a national rejection is in a
sense God turning away for only a moment to open a door of opportunity to the Gentile.
THE ONE NEW MAN

Why would we first discuss this before speaking about "The One New Man"? For this reason; those who imbibe the
replacement theology do so not understanding the nature and character of God. Further, to embrace this is not to have
an understanding of God's plan and purpose for the Church. It is because of God's purpose for the Church that we needed
to first discuss what God is ultimately going to do with the nation of Israel. In giving a little background, I am hoping to
avoid any misunderstanding in what I am about to say.
On February the 7th, I was given a dream that was concluded by the Lord taking me into a trance and speaking to me
about the New Testament Church. I will first of all share this experience then I will share a teaching to help you better
understand what the Lord means when He speaks of the "One New Man".
THE DREAM
I was led into a room that contained an expensive antique bedroom furniture set. (The reason for the Lord making an
issue of the expensive furniture was to indicate to me that these truths are of great value.) It was made up of a bed,
dresser, and nightstand. I noticed over the bed on the headboard the words "Old Testament". I had been instructed to lie
down in the bed, so as I walked in the room, I walked over and lay down. Immediately as my head sunk into the pillow,
my whole being entered into the bed and moved on through the bed passing through time until I became one with the Old
Testament Church. Still, I continued to move through time until I became one with the tribe of Joseph. But, I didn't stop
there, I continued moving through time until I at last became one with the very stock of Abraham himself. As this
occurred, I came to total rest in my identity as a Jew. Everything changed. The way I related to the world was remarkably
different. The way I thought in connection myself, to family, to traditions, to God and to life in general was according to
my Jewish heritage, not Gentile. I have never harbored any secret desires to be of Jewish origin, at least not that I know
of. Yet in entering into this rest, it was as though I had searched all my life to find my true identity, and at last I found it. I
was at peace and rest in a way I had not ever known before. It was at this time that the Lord told me my family name as
a Jew and that I am of the tribe of Joseph.
Suddenly, I found myself back to the current time, yet still a Jew! Just then the same man who led me into the room
came and took me by the hand and led me out of the room. We walked down a hall and by a second room, which was
entitled "Gentile"; which incidentally was also full of bedroom furniture. After passing this room we walked into a third
room. As we entered this room, I saw that it too was filled with bedroom furniture. However this furniture was expensive
modern furniture. It was dark cherry wood and fashionably, albeit, conservatively designed. On the top of the headboard
were the words, "The New Testament". He then spoke to me saying: "This is now your new room." I was again instructed
to walk over and lie down, which I did. As I lay down on the bed, the same thing happened. My head sunk into the pillow
and I became one with the bed. I then began to travel once again down through time until I found my roots in Christ and
became one with Him. At that moment, the whole bedroom was lifted up and moved over to become one with the first
bedroom. This transition continued until the two bedrooms were fully merged and again I found myself in the stock of
Abraham.
At this point I was given to know that had I been a Gentile only, I would have walked into the second of the three
bedrooms. I would have been instructed to lay down in the bed to find my Gentile roots. I would then have arisen to walk
into the third bedroom to find my roots in Christ just as I did as a Jew. Again the bedroom would have rose up and moved
over to become one with the first bedroom bringing the Gentile believer into the stock of Abraham.
The Lord further revealed to me that the "One New Man" that Paul wrote about is neither Jew, nor Gentile, As the Jew
must die to his Jewish roots in the flesh to enter into Christ to become a true and spiritual Jew. The Gentile on the other
hand must die to his Gentile roots in the flesh to enter into Christ to become a spiritual Jew. Paul alludes to this death in
Rom. 6:3B when he writes: All of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death. However,
both in the end find their roots in Abraham, so the Jew has lost nothing, but only gained, and for the Gentile, he has lost
his Gentile roots to gain the more. (Ga. 3:28; Co. 3:1 1; Rom. 6:3; Ga. 2:20)
As a Gentile, the believer finds his new identity as a 'spiritual Jew.' As a Jew, the believer finds his true identity as a
'spiritual Jew.' (Rom. 2:29) Therefore, this "One New Man" is wholly Jewish. He is a true and spiritual Jew! He is not
half Gentile, and half Jew. He is wholly Jew. Therefore, every promise given to Abraham becomes the promise of the
believer. This is not because he being a Gentile is now grafted into the stock of Abraham yet remaining a Gentile with a
new Jewish identification. Neither is the Old Covenant Jew bound to these promises as part of the Old Testament
Church. But, he too is again engrafted into the covenant promises by virtue of his being in Christ and being made a true
Jew of the spiritual seed of Abraham. Hence, both are made a true Jew through Christ; grafted into the stock of Abraham
and thus recipients of Abraham's covenant promises. This was necessary as Paul clearly indicates to us, that: He is not
a [real] Jew who is one only outwardly and publicly, nor is [true] circumcision something external and physical. But he is
a Jew who is one inwardly, and [true] circumcision is of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal [matter]. His praise is not
from men but from God. (Rom. 2:28 & 29)
The word Jew here means "praiser of God." He is one who has a circumcised heart. A Christian (Jew or Gentile) is the
only true praiser of God. But a physical descendant of Abraham is a Jew; not just a 'true Jew'.
Consequently, the question would naturally arise: "What then should we call the Jewish people who are not yet born
again?" I would use the term that the Lord used when referring to His Jewish people while speaking to me in a vision in
1989: "His Old Testament Church", or "Old Covenant Jew" could also be used, as that is what they are. As I have
already mentioned, when a Jew becomes born again, he is automatically brought into the New Testament by virtue of
being in Christ just as the Gentile believer.
The unbelieving Jew is part of the Old Testament Church and therefore under a certain covenant with God for the sake of
their forefathers. The unbelieving Gentile is without any covenant at all. The Jews of the Old Covenant were the only
representation God had of His name before Christ, so they comprised His Church of the pre-Christ era. Today He has a
New Testament Church in Christ!
Again, this experience started out as a dream. But while I was still in the first bedroom, I was awakened by the shock of
all that I was experiencing and was immediately brought into the state of a trance. It was in this state that everything else
occurred. When it was over I continued to feel my jewishness, if you will for a long time. So, I arose to look around my
room to see where I was, as I felt terribly displaced from my once familiar surroundings.
The whole purpose of what I was shown was to help me understand the true identity of the Church. God is raising up a
spiritual entity in this hour who will not be looking at the roots of the flesh. They will recognize that all things of the flesh
have been brought to effectual death at the Cross for the sake of the spirit, as the flesh can profit nothing. Jesus is going
to come to a people of whom the Word says: As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of
God even to them that believe on His name: vs. 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God. (John 1:12&13) This "New One Man" which is a man of the spirit and a true Jew will be raised up
with no walls dividing, no schisms of race, denomination or heritage of the flesh, but an entity of the spirit in unbelievable
power and love. Thus, in this hour will the Great commission be fulfilled and the Gospel will be carried out into all the
world in the greatest of all evangelistic thrusts. A reality that could never happen if God did not bring to pass the long
standing promise of bringing the nation of Israel into the Gospel as this is part of the end-time promise that God has held
in reserve all these years. Paul said that this event will have such an impact upon the New Testament Church and the
world, that it will bear the effect of one being raised from the dead. Truly, when the nation of Israel embraces the Gospel
the world will be forced to a new level of accountability. The world will unwillingly look on and be forced to face the reality
of the God of Heaven, for no other thing that has taken place in the earth before will make such a statement of the reality
of the Godhood of Jesus Christ as this one event will. Hence the Fatherhood of God will be greatly magnified in this hour.

The Source of True Help

This was given to me by Holy Spirit 9-18-95
There will be earthquakes all over this land. The systems of business and education and medicine will fall one by one.
You must be PREPARED because life in these United States will not be as abundant as it has been and violence will
increase because of it. Truly all will be shaken from their worldly beliefs because there will be no relief from Witchcraft,
Unity, Scientology, Mormonism, or any other New Age or Satanic philosophies. The only SOURCE of true help will be
GOD Himself. Only by coming to the SOURCE (Jesus) will they be saved.
Surely all flesh will tremble at the sound of My name one way or another. My desire is NOT to destroy, but to give life
abundantly and forever with Me. Come to Me now while I may be found. This nation has poured it's abundance down the
TOILET !!! Instead of properly worshipping Me and coming to Me for how to spend it. They've spent it on themselves and
have become oblivious, insensitive and even immune and apathetic to the needs of the POOR, the fatherless the abused,
the widows, and the women who are left alone !!! They only care for themselves (exclusivity), NOT the LOST!!
To the degree there is selfishness without repentance in this nation, and to the degree of self-will and independence apart
from Me- THERE WILL BE JUDGEMENT!
( I was eating celery with peanut butter and the Lord said, "One day you will never think to throw away the leaves of this
plant, or to let fruit or other things spoil in the refrigerator because it will all be too valuable compared to the present
affluence!")
JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH are the weightier matters of the law.

The Trumpet
Bill Burns
July 26, 1998--through Bill Burns:

The Lord says, listen and I shall teach you the victory of Calvary, for My word has brought forth the essence of that which
I am doing in the earth now. And, this is that which was spoken. I am bringing forth a prophetic word through the hearts
and the minds and the mouths of My people which shall destroy all the works of the enemy. As you come under the
anointing of My kingdom, and as you come through the fire of My Spirit, I say unto you the devils will tremble and they
will leave because they cannot stay in My presence. When you walk with Me into the places that I send you, behold I am
walking you into those places for victory. I am not taking you to those places so that you can serve self. I am not taking
you into those places so that you can even satisfy self. I am taking you into those places so that I can destroy the
religious spirits and the satanic spirits and the darkness and the demons that would prevail over the earth.
This is My day, the day of glory, and I have come to restore the fullness of My power into the hearts of those that will
believe. I said that I would do it, and now I am doing it. Believe and go forth under the anointing, under the anointing, I say
under the anointing, because I declare to you it is by the blood that you are free, by the blood that you have victory, and
by the blood that Satan is defeated. Declare to the world that the shed blood of Calvary obtained the glorious eternal
victory. Do it in the name of My Son, and I will honor your words and bring forth a mighty breaking forth in the earth of the
new and the supernatural that I have spoken about that is to come forth in this the end of the age.

The Spirit Of Elijah

Sheila Vogel
Bill, thank you so much for the time you put into your site. It is one I frequent more than any other. God has used it
repeatedly since October to confirm what I believed God was revealing, but had not heard anyone else at that time bring
forth the same messages. It has built my faith and caused me to even more diligently seek Him.
I have been receiving much concerning the coming judgements and glory of God. It has caused me to intercede more
that ever for His people and the lost.
In light of the word concerning the two witnesses I felt I should share an experience I had Wednesday night of last week.
I was abruptly awakened from a dream and felt the most awesome presence of God I have ever felt from a dream. It was
so strong that I looked around honestly expecting to see something supernatural. I started saying, "God something is
getting ready to happen."
The dream contained one brief message it was "the spirit of Elijah is coming."
I have never been so impacted by a message from the Lord. I know there is a tremendous move of God preparing to take
place.
If you have any insight to share I would appreciate it. I am just beginning to thoroughly search the scriptures to have God
reveal all He can concerning this message.
Thank you again for your site.
God bless your work.
Sincerely
Sheila Vogel

The Spirit of Intercession

Russell White,
Community Christian Center
Okay, I'm back. I have been silent but not inactive. Brother Dick Simmons is down from Washington D.C. exhorting us to
receive the Spirit of Intercession for America. He and his wife have a ministry of intercession on the Nation's Capitol. He
can look out his living room window and see the dome of the Capitol.
A wonderfully seasoned warrior, Brother Dick was used of the Lord in the beginnings of Pat Robertson and David
Wilkerson's ministries. He was also appointed to the Reagan transition team when Reagan took office back in 1980.
Brother Dick is VERY involved in the Capitol, and even intercedes for the President as he sits in front of him on church on
Sundays.
Brother Dick has a charge from the Lord which is calling 100,000 men to pray 2 hours every morning for this nation. The
Lord said that this alone will untie His hands to allow His sovereign hand to sweep America. We, at Community Christian
and several other churches in Baton Rouge have banded together to take on this commission. We believe that
intercessory prayer can release God to move in our cities and in our nation. He has come here because he sees the
unity of the churches with our Pastor's Conference (GSMA).
We were blessed to have one of our state representatives in our early morning prayer meeting this morning who we laid
hands on (Bless God) and interceded for our state and our legislators.
Brother Dick is a general ready to wage a war but needs an army of intercessors to be ready to make pre-dawn air
assaults on the enemy so that victory can be one.
I am interested to know how many men are interested in receiving this commission. Brother Dick has a strategy to keep
the intercessors informed from week to week and even day to day eventually of things to pray for at the Capitol. I have
offered my services via Internet email and eventually a website. He also will have a satellite broadcast cranking up to
further inform the troops.
Please pray that current Christian leaders such as the Promise Keepers administration, Gary Bauer, and Dr. Dobson will
join in to create a powerful intercessory team to break the back of the enemy that controls the Nation's Capital.
I thought it odd (that is God) that just recently Rick Joyner and Bob Jones were in Mobile pleading for intercessors to
pray for the Presidency and other leaders. Also, the Brownsville revival on last Thursday night was lead to pray instead of
preach. I believe that a D-Day is coming for the Devil. Such an invasion of revival praying that Satan won't be able to hold
the walls of his fortresses up.
Then will Nation-wide Revival come and the time is now!

The Trumpet Call

Bob Neumann
7/5/98@ 9:15 early in intercessory prayer.
I heard the SPIRIT OF THE LORD ask: "HAVE YOU NOTICED A CHANGE?" since 9pm the night before I had heard and
been hearing "BATTLE SONG" in my spirit and the sound of Metal on Metal without any rhythm or sense to it. My
answer was ''yes, LORD!". And the SPIRIT said "BE STILL AND LISTEN," and I began to hear the "Prayer" around me,
'THE SONG' around me. And I came into agreement with THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT that there was no change. The same
old same old. Everyone was in the same pattern, same tone, same individualities; separate ''prayer'' warriors, no soldiers.
And THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD said: "YOU CAN'T SING THEIR SONGS AND THEY DO NOT HEAR THE RHYTHM
YOU HEAR.'' And in my spirit a new song began. Like a battle song it was deep, hard, pounding. And I saw a long line of
men with long bars moving with the song. I heard "THE CAPTAIN" singing the SONG, setting the CADENCE. And the
GANDY DANCERS moved the iron of the rails together as one man. Brute force shaping cold iron to the WILL of THE
MOST HIGH.
(The night before the Prophet Jerry Vaughn spoke of Christian Family Worship Center [CWFC] as a place where many
train tracks converge going in and none went out) then suddenly I saw the 'hub' of CFWC as the Prophet had spoken the
night before; many lines of rail coming into the 'hub' and none going out. And as looking down from far above the obvious
was that all these lines were of different ''gages''. Many obviously very narrow and a few obviously too wide to believe. And
THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD said, "WALK THE LINES". And I walked one after another. None had been laid well. Ties
were not uniform. Rails not aligned properly. Spikes missing. Rails rusted with lack of traffic obvious. I had a sense of
'anger' rise up in me that so much shoddy work had been done. So much repeated labor had been wasted. And THE
SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD spoke "THEY ALL LEAD IN AND NOTHING LEADS OUT!'' and I stood in the hub
and before me was a huge stack of Ties and Rails. WAITING. WAITING. And MY CAPTAIN STOOD BEFORE ME IN
FULL ARMOR. To the side I saw 'men' milling around sort of killing time. As I watched there was a strange passing of
time as 'men' came 'in' and 'men' wandered away. And I 'saw' CFWC over the years as TIES, RAILS, and SPIKES had
been positioned and workers had been gathered awaiting THE SET TIME.
Then suddenly I 'heard' the "WHOOSH" of RAW POWER!!!! And I turned to see the front of a HUGE "STEAM"
LOCOMOTIVE with the "COW CATCHER" literally touching my knees. And I felt the HEAT, and smelled the STEAM. I
heard the "METAL SOUND" again as the wheels and metal moved the half inch it took to put pressure on my legs and I
turned to see two lines of 'men' moving to HIS SONG, dropping ties, moving ''iron'', and driving spikes. And I felt HIS
HAND on my shoulder and I turned to see my CAPTAIN still in ARMOR.
HE said the WORDS I have waited so long to hear."IT IS TIME!!!". And as I looked into HIS EYES I realized HE was still
in BATTLE ARMOR and I was covered in dust wearing jeans and jacket. As HE LAUGHED HE turned me once again to
the GANDY DANCERS laying track and this time I saw 'crew captains' at intervals. And with each 'crew captain' there
was a ''gandy singer' leading the SONG, marking the cadence. Each captain and each singer wore the same jacket and
jeans, covered by dust and sweat as I was. Suddenly I was aware of the 'smell' of hard-hot-work and tasted the dryness
of the dust and sensed that this was not a 'one days work' but many long hard days. I turned to MY CAPTAIN and HE
NODDED HIS AGREEMENT. And I watched the track being laid. Then once again I 'heard' the sound of "Metal'' and I
turned to look at the "IRON HORSE" but saw lines of "LEGIONARIES" in full armor slow marching toward me. Each
''Platoon" with officer and NCO's. ((((I know US Army and Roman Legion don't mix well.but it did)))). And suddenly this
slap on my shoulder and heard the "crash" of raw steel on steel and I turned again to see MY CAPTAIN and again HE
SAID " IT IS TIME". Once again I heard in my spirit that new "BATTLE SONG" and as I began to sing I heard HIS LAUGH
AGAIN!!!
And I turned and we began to run. (The vision ended and the verse ran through my mind."I shall run through a troop.)

The Town Crier

Sunday 8-16-98 0130 hrs
The Lord began to speak to me, saying:

" Son of man, lift up your voice like a trumpet. sound an alarm on My holy mountain. Hear the sound of the town crier, on
every hill and every mountain of the land. Justice and mercy are the FOUNDATION of My throne.
Inasmuch as My people who are called by My name ignore the needs of the poor, the needs of the orphans and widows,
the homeless and the single parents, I WILL IGNORE their pleas for Me for help.
I AM A JEALOUS GOD!!!
I WILL not IGNORE THE CRIES OF THE NEEDY!
I WILL execute My brand of JUSTICE in the land.
And here is what I say to you complacent daughters, (individual churches) TURN from your APATHY and SELFISHNESS
or I will strike you with BARREN- NESS ! This drought will NOT "just pass" unless there is repentance in the house of
the Lord for all the GREED and COVETOUSNESS!!!
I've said in My word...."Do not store up treasures on earth where moth and rust can decay"...but store up treasures in
heaven. I say to you GIVE generously to the poor, give, and give, and give more. Give out of your poverty. Give in FAITH,
not expecting for something in return...(see Luke 6)......for the land is filled with GREED and you must give to BREAK
THE CYCLE OF LACK AND BARRENNESS. To him who gives little, he will reap little. To him who gives
GENERIOUSLY, he will receive more than he can possibly imagine.
Do not hold on to the things you can hold in your hands. The days are shorter than you imagined. You brought nothing
into this world and you can take nothing out of it. STAND UP against the USURY that has filled this land. Those who've
grown FAT on the labor of the poor and migrants will SOON feel the weight of My judgements. FOOD will grow scarce in
the days ahead and the abundance that you have poured down the toilet will be turned to LACK. LISTEN to MY voice. Be
dependent on Me. Whom shall you hallow? Whom shall you fear? Him who has the power to throw your soul into hell?
Or him who perverts My justice and My mercy?
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.
Lay down the sword of your mouth against your brother and sister. WAR NOT against flesh and blood ! WAR against
your enemy and Mine who seeks to kill steal and destroy.
I am cutting the cords of blessing from those shepherds who care more for MONEY, REPUTATION, and POWER and
HONOR from men. The sword of My justice will prevail !
Deuteronomy 15:1-11 NKJ
1 Samuel 2:7-9 NKJ
THE LORD MAKES POOR AND MAKES RICH;HE BRINGS LOW AND LIFTS UP. He brings low and lifts up. He raises
the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the
Throne of Glory, for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and He has set the world on them, He will guard the feet of His
saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. FOR BY STRENGTH, NO MAN SHALL PREVAIL.
Luke 14:13 AMP "But when you give a banquet or a reception, invite the poor, the disabled, the lame and the
blind. THEN you will be blessed - happy, fortunate, and to be envied - because they have no way of
REPAYING you, and you WILL be recompensed at the resurrection of the just ( upright)....

A Time Of Turmoil
Special First Friday Focus
SEPTEMBER 4, 1998
SPECIAL FIRST FRIDAY FOCUS......
A TIME OF TURMOIL IS UPON US
There has been intense spiritual turbulence for some weeks -- really since the President's Map Room Speech on August
17. That was a turning point in this Administration and in this nation. Attorney General Janet Reno also recently initiated
the formal 90-day review period to investigate whether an independent counsel will be named for alleged campaign
finance violations by Vice President Gore, then she announced the same for Hillary Clinton confidant and White House
advisor Harold Ickes early this week, and yesterday she launched a new review of whether President Clinton himself
violated campaign financing laws. The Federal Election Commission is completing audits of both Democratic and
Republican fundraising activities. Sen. Dole's and other GOP campaign finances are also under scrutiny.
Last evening, Senator Joseph Lieberman, a longtime friend and New Democrat strategist with President Clinton, stood
mournfully on the floor of the Senate and denounced the President's affair with Monica Lewinsky, saying that the
President's behavior was not "inappropriate," but that it was "immoral," and that it has damaged the nation. Two other
key Democrats, Sen. Bob Kerrey and Sen. Patrick Moynihan, also stood to condemn the President's actions and called
him into full accountability, according the full "measure of the moral compass" and the "conscience of the Constitution."
All the Senators spoke of how our President has lost his "moral authority." Listening to Sen. Lieberman's speech was
one of the most moving and saddening things I have experienced since I moved to Washington, DC in 1981. Last night
was another "turning point" as we move through "due process."
Major William Scott Ritter, who recently resigned as chief UN Weapons Inspector, also testified before Senate joint-
hearings yesterday that "the Clinton Administration undercut UN efforts to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction
in Iraq." He went on to charge that U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright "undermined" the entire UN special
weapons inspection Commission "through interference and manipulation." Our Secretary of State is increasingly being
viewed and even spoken of as a lady who travels from nation to nation "scolding" leaders. This reflects the lifting of
"authority" from the Administration, and is a judgment and disgrace.
Our hearts are sobered and further instructed as we stand watch concerning the African terrorist bombings, and the
followup Islamic threats and "bounties" being placed on the heads of all Americans, the erratic Stock Market, the volatile
stalemate in the Middle-East, the ultimate question of Jerusalem, the present near-collapse of Russia, and Communist
North Korea launching ballistic missiles over Japan.
The Lord is shaking the nations, effecting great outreach and harvest, and in this precarious and opportune time America
stands naked, shamed and vulnerable before a watching world. The "head is sick," our military weakened, and our foreign
policy is in shambles. We must now set our hearts to stand with and pray the U.S. church and nation through a time of
intense trauma, degradation, judgment, national repentance and cleansing from demoralization and defilement. Where
and when all this will end, and how many officials in the Administration and in both political parties will be affected, we do
not yet see. But, the Lord has seen the end from the beginning, so let us now draw very close to Him, make certain we
are firstly "on His side" above all else, and prayerfully watch with Him unto resolution. The fires will burn dross from our
own hearts, and the heart of the Church and conscience of the nation will be delivered from moral compromise and
duplicity.

THE ULTIMATE JUDGMENT

By David White
"I have told you all these things so that you should not be offended - taken unawares and falter, or caused to
stumble and fall away, and to keep you from being scandalized and repelled." (John 16:1 Amplified Bible)
As the end of the age approaches, the judgments of God will increase upon the earth in intensity and regularity. The
Lord Jesus will be revealed as the Righteous Judge, whose judgments are always, "true and righteous." (Rev.
16:7) As the Apostle Paul described, both the, "goodness", of the Lord, and the "severity" of the Lord will be
magnified. (Rom. 11:22) The end of the age could easily be described by a phrase taken from the book, "A Tale of
Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. The opening line reads, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was
the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness". As
Isaiah reminds us, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the people. Yet to parallel, and eventually to
completely overrule the darkness, will be the revealing of the glory of the Lord upon His people. (Isaiah 60)
As God’s judgments are released upon cities and nations in the final hours of this age, one of the greatest challenges
the church will face, will be to avoid becoming "offended - taken unawares, caused to stumble and fall away,
scandalized, and repelled". This can only be accomplished as the church walks in faith and an understanding of the
truth. Hosea tells us, "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge". (Hosea 4:6) The word, ‘destroyed’,
means to be dumb or silent, hence to fail or perish
In John 16:1, Jesus reminded His disciples that He had already told them of certain trials they were about to face, so
that when they faced these things they would remember His words. This would greatly lesson the shock when the
trials began. It is no doubt that one of the trials they would face was persecution. In John 15:20 Jesus said, "If they
persecuted Me, they will also persecute you;" He reinforces his warning by telling them, "whoever kills you will
think and claim that he has offered service to God." (John 16:2) Yet, persecution is only one of many trials and
difficulties the church can and will face at the end of the age. Jesus listed a number of things believers would face in
Matthew 24. However in this list He encourages the church to, "not be troubled", or frightened but to keep their
eyes focused and directed above the difficulties and onto Him, in whom lies their full salvation. (Matt. 24; Luke 21)
The church, although not appointed to wrath, (I Thess. 5:9), will be present and witness many of the judgments as
they are being released upon the earth. (Psalm 91:7-8)
Overcoming Fear
"According to the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains
among you; do not fear! For thus says the Lord of hosts: Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven
and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and I will fill this temple with glory, says the
Lord of hosts…"The glory of the latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And
in this place I will give peace, says the Lord of hosts." (Haggai 2:5-7, 9)
The Lord reminds us through the prophet Haggai, that a series of events will take place in the latter days:
1. He first reminds His people that He will be with us! Knowing this is the first step to replacing fear with faith
and living as an over comer.
2. He assures us that everything will be shaken. The Lord is going to ‘rock the boat’ at the end of the age. This
includes a shaking in the financial markets, institutions, governments, denominations, churches, relationships,
ideologies, weather patterns, indeed, everything. The question is not if this is going to happen, it is a certainty.
The Apostle Paul also addresses this in Hebrews 12:26.
3. He reminds us that it is He and not the devil that will orchestrate the shaking. Having an understanding of this is
vital.
4. He encourages us that as a result of this shaking, His Glory will fill His house to a degree the church has never
known.
5. He promises His people great peace for those whose mind is stayed on Him. (Isaiah 26:3) Those things that
have filled our minds and have hindered our loving Him with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind will be
removed. (Luke 10:27)
The prophet Amos says, "Shall a trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be alarmed and afraid?
(Amos 3:8) As watchmen carry out their ministry, (Ezekiel 33), and begin to sound the alarm and warn of
coming judgments, many will naturally, at first be startled and even frightened. When awakened with an alarm
clock, sometimes my initial reaction is that I am startled. The deeper the sleep, the more time it takes for me to
get a mental grasp on what is taking place. However, the alarm does exactly what it was created to do and I
am awakened out of my sleep. As God’s people are established in understanding and truth, the initial fears
caused from the warnings of judgment will quickly give way to a new level of faith. A faith that will be required
to overcome and actually accomplish great exploits in the last days. (Rev. 21:7; Dan. 11:32)
Storms of the Century
Many cities and nations over the last few years have experienced storms that have been defined by the media as the
storm of the century. Although it is obvious that Jesus demonstrated the authority to rebuke a storm, the church
must understand that God can and is often speaking in the midst of storms and other natural disasters. In the coming
days, the church will need discernment to know whether it should arise in the authority of Jesus and rebuke the
storms, and when to take cover (refuge) in the Lord in the day of trouble.
The Lord said through the prophet, "The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds
are the dust of His feet. He rebukes and threatens the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers… The
mountains quake and tremble before Him and the hills melt away, and the earth is up heaved at His
presence, yes, the world and all that dwell in it. (Nahum 1:3-5) The prophet actually said that God has His way,
or His will, in many natural disasters.
To suggest that God could be involved and could be speaking through natural disasters such as hurricanes,
tornadoes, flash floods, raging fires and earthquakes could cause many to become offended, taken unawares,
caused to stumble or fall away, scandalized, and repelled. Many, due to a lack of understanding, could even become
angry with God and the watchmen He sends to sound the alarm. Yet in the midst of Nahum’s pronouncement, He
reminds God’s people, "The Lord is good, a strength and stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows –
recognizes – those who take refuge and trust in Him. (Nahum 1:7) Just as Israel found a refuge in Goshen, which
was in Egypt, so the church will truly know the Lord as their stronghold in the day of trouble.
David pronounces in the Psalms, "Sing praises to the Lord, Who dwells in Zion! Declare among the peoples His
doings!" His doings, or His deeds, are described in the preceding verses in that first, "He has prepared and
established His throne for judgment. And He will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to
the peoples in uprightness." Second, we see that, "The Lord will also be a refuge and a high tower, … a
stronghold in times of trouble." (Psalm 9:7-9, 11) In the coming years, the Lord will judge the world in
righteousness and will also be found to be a refuge and a stronghold in times of trouble to those who belong to and
who trust in Him.
The Ultimate Judgment
As the judgments of the Lord begin to be released upon the earth, it is imperative that the church, remember that the
ultimate judgment has already been decreed. I believe this truth was made clear to me in a dream.
A few years ago, the Lord gave me a dream that has greatly impacted my life. In the dream, I was attending an
open-air meeting. I was standing in the crowd of people waiting to hear the man who was about to stand up and
preach. As the man approached the platform, I noticed that He was not an ordinary man. His appearance led me to
believe that He would really have something to say. He seemed to be a man of great influence and spiritual authority.
Before any word came out of His mouth, He looked out over the huge congregation of people and then starred
directly at me. He then lifted His hand and said, "Why haven’t you entered the third phase?" He then walked
towards me. As he arrived to where I was standing, he then started to place His hands upon me. Before He touched
me I fell down. It seemed to me that I was suddenly, in the spirit. Next, the man began to prophesy over my life.
To this day, I’m not sure of all He said. I only knew that He was no ordinary man. My thought was that this was not
a man, but was actually the Lord Himself. He ended what He was saying by quoting Luke 10:19, "Behold, I give
you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall
by any means hurt you." (NKJ)
After this experience the Lord began to speak to me from John 16 where He begins by reminding His disciples of
certain things they are about to face. Then beginning in the 8th verse, Jesus redirects their attention and begins to
explain the ministry of the Holy Spirit. "And when He has come, He will convict and convince the world and
bring demonstration to it about sin and about righteousness – and about judgment". Jesus divides the ministry
of the Holy Spirit into three distinct emphasis or phases. The first, being to convict, convince, and demonstrate to
the world of sin. This was accomplished in the death and resurrection of the Lord. "About sin, because they do not
believe in Me". Second, He defines the role of the Holy Spirit as convicting, convincing, and demonstrating to
the world about righteousness. This was accomplished in the resurrection and the ascension of the Lord. "About
righteousness because I go to My Father…" Third, Jesus describes the ministry of the Holy Spirit as convicting,
convincing, and demonstrating to the world about judgment. "About judgment, because the ruler of the world
(Satan) is judged".
Although the Holy Spirit will continue to convict, convince, and demonstrate to the world about sin and the
righteousness of the Son of God, a new understanding will come to the church in the last days regarding the third
phase. This third phase being that the ruler of this world, (Satan), is already judged. "About judgment, because
the ruler (prince) of this world [Satan] is judged and condemned and sentence already is passed upon him."
This condemnation, sentence, and indeed this ultimate judgment has, already been passed. The cross forever sealed
Satan’s fate.
Psalm 91 has been a great comfort to many Christians throughout history during times of great difficulty. Psalm 91
will again bring great comfort and assurance to the church as the judgment’s of the Lord begin to be revealed and
released upon the earth. This Psalm assures the believer that God is our refuge and our fortress. He is our
deliverer and our defense in a time of terror. He has promised that even though, "a thousand may fall at your
side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you." God has promised that the angels
will be charged to keep those who have made Him their refuge. However, this Psalm also tells us, "You (the
church), shall tread upon the lion, the young lion and the serpent shall you trample under foot." (Ps. 91:13)
At the end of the age the judgments of the Lord will be revealed. The greatest and most severe of these judgments
will be demonstrated by the church against Satan and his works. [The purpose is] that through the church the
manifold, many-sided wisdom of God in all its infinite variety and innumerable aspects might now be made
known to the angelic rulers and authorities (principalities and powers) in the heavenly sphere." (Eph. 3:10)
The ultimate judgment, which has been God’s purpose for the church since its conception, is about to begin!
"Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their
mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, to bind their kings with
chains…to execute on them the written judgment – This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord!" (Psalm
149:5-9)

AN UNGODLY STREAM
A vision given to Bob Jones
written by Keith Davis
This file is taken from the Bob Jones Website
In a recent prophetic experience the Lord unveiled to Bob the schemes of the enemy involving our
president and the cloud of controversy surrounding his leadership. Presently, there is a stream of
perversity flooding this nation from its leadership fueled by the media. The open and un-restrained
terminology inundating our media 24 hours a day has opened the door to Satan to release a flood
gate of perverse thoughts and images permeating the minds of the saved and unsaved alike. Many
people, including Christians, are finding themselves having dreams or unsanctified thoughts in their
imaginations supported by the sexually explicit language that is giving access to Satan and his hordes
of tormenting spirits.
Thankfully, the Christian has the word of God to use as a weapon against these perverse thoughts and
images. However, the spiritual consequences for this nation and its youth are significant. The
standards have been reduced to an all time low, removing the already diminished boundaries of
decency within the media. We as a church must recognize this and its satanic sponsorship and begin
to wage war through intercessory prayer. We must pray that divine restraints be released by the Holy
Spirit through intercession lifting a standard against this evil flood-- when the enemy comes in like a
flood, the Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is

pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if
anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these
things; and the God of peace shall be with you. Phil 4:8-9 (NAS)
We are given the admonition in Scripture to set our minds on those things that are good and pure. In
so doing, we will be taking the first step in girding ourselves for this battle.
Secondly, we must pray for our president. Not only is this a Scriptural mandate but it is also the Lord's
directive for this battle. Satan is desiring to prematurely bring to pass the economic shaking that
imminently faces this nation. The impeachment or resignation of President Clinton would almost surely
accommodate that end. President Clinton, even with all of his faults and failures, is the Lord's choice
for this hour. We are given a second opportunity to be obedient to the Lord and pray for this man's
salvation and divine deliverance. We must be willing to pray for the Lord's intervention to sustain him
especially between now and November. The season of time between now and November is extremely
crucial.
First of all, then, I urge that entreaties {and} prayers, petitions {and} thanksgivings, be
made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may
lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be
saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:1-4 (NAS)
Through this experience the Lord also told Bob to look at the Divine promises that were made in 1992
for those promises are now beginning to be fulfilled. One of the most difficult times is between the
release of a promise and its fulfillment. That season of time serves as a test of one's maturity, faith
and obedience. The promises of six years ago have matured and will be released from heaven, for
many.

The Unique Characteristic

Author Unknown
[I got this little item under the heading of Humor, but I see a couple lessons in it. So we added it here.]
Between moments of dispensing wisdom, it seems that historical religious leaders had also learned software
programming. One day, a great contest was held to test their skills. After days and days of fierce competition, only two
leaders remained for the last day's event: Jesus and Mohammed.
The judge described the software application required for the final test, and gave the signal to start writing code. The two
contestants feverishly typed away on their keyboards. Routines, classes, applets and applications flew by on their
screens at incredible speeds. Windows, dialogs, and other intricate graphics began forming on their monitors. The clock
showed that the contest would soon be finished.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightening flashed and the power went out. After a moment, it came back on-just in time for the clock
to announce that the last competition was over. The judge asked the two contestants to reveal their finished software.
Mohammed angrily said that he'd lost it all in the power outage. The judge turned to the other competitor. Jesus smiled,
clicked a mouse, and a dazzling application appeared on his screen.
After just a few moments, the judge was clearly impressed and declared Jesus the victor. When asked why the decision
was made, the judge pointed out the unique characteristic that set the winner apart from all the other leaders: Jesus
saves.

A Call to Unify
Jeff Rodrick
Hearken all those whom are faithful

I have called you
I have chosen you
I have redeemed you from the hand of the enemy
stand tall
stand proud
know that ye are my chosen, mine elect
I have a commission for you
I have a mission for mine elect
To stand in the gap for their brothers and sisters.
For the ones who lag behind
My day is coming shortly
Stay your hand at feeding my flock
stay your mind upon me
Stand fast in prayer for your family members in Christ
For I am a terrible God
And I will not plead forever with the ungodly
Spend not long hours with the ungodly
For they are marked and set aside for another day.
Let your laboring be among yourselves
Edify one another, then shall ye go in bands to the Lost.
The maimed and the Lame
Say ye to the virgins go quickly get oil.
Go quickly now, for there is still time before the
bride’s groom cometh.
Let us join one another in the bond of love, and
unity, and in like minded faith.
Forsake all manner of foolishness and be ye
separate from the world.
Stand tall, stand strong, stand unified in Christ.
So ends the words of our Lord
Submitted to you this 28th day of Oct. 1998
I was given this prophesy from a friend as a confirmation to the Call to Unify
Prophesy.
THE GLORY IN, WITH & UPON
The Holy Spirit anointing has come upon me this morning to speak a message. Here are the words I am receiving:
Do not tremble, My precious ones, for I have chosen you to be loved, respected, esteemed and revered. In that you
do not want to rob Me of My glory, you do well, for this is fit and exemplary. However, the hour will come and yea,
now is, when the manifested sons will be glorified in Me and I in them. The mortal shall put on immortality and be
covered therewith by his celestial home. This is the tabernacle or frame not made by human hands.
When My glory is IN, WITH and UPON my elect, this will generate the love and honor that has been missing to a
great degree amongst the components of the WHOLE!!! When unification is present amongst all individual parts of
My Body and adjoined to the HEAD, then will my request be fulfilled that we might be ONE. So, accepting and
enjoying this love flow amongst yourselves is not contrary to my will but the consummation of one of my greatest
desires. It is not detached or excluded from what I MYSELF AM. That is to say - AGAPE or the high flame of
LOVE.
Did I not say unto your elder Brother, at the onset of His earthly ministry, "This is My Beloved Son in Whom I am
well pleased."? Therefore, let it be known that expressions of great love will be apparent amongst the brethren as
part of the ushering in, through the Corporate Body, MY hour of the reconciliation of all things. This is nothing short
of My extreme affection abounding in My CHURCH; toward Me first , secondly toward one another and then going
beyond all limits unto the inhabitants of this world and beyond..
I have been greatly displeased by all the contentions, discord, and schisms in the heart of Believers. I will cause their
coming together now in a bond of infinite love that will testify of my presence within each one. There is a great
difference between taking or robbing Me of My glory and receiving it from My hand personally. KNOW THIS:
Christ in you, in His fullness, will cause an illumination and radiance to funnel down from Me, through My appointed
ones out to a waiting and suffering world of miserable beings.
Don't you see, what is Mine IS thine? He that is JOINED unto the Lord is ONE Spirit.
So then, you shall be absolutely FILLED with ME and that will be GLORIOUS! REMEMBER..... Christ in you is
not only your hope of GLORY but it will also be for those to whom you are sent. It is this glory that is regenerative
and you will be enabled to dispense it to the groaning, abject and wretched ones who will recognize and be grateful
to enter this selfsame DOOR that you have, of salvation and full redemption IN JESUS CHRIST, the LORD !!!!!!

A Unique Year
by Jon Arno
This will be a very unique year. It will not be like 97 was. God is going to begin to release apostles and prophets whom
He has kept hidden for years. (Hidden in Himself) Obedience and loyalty have been established. Prophets of the Lord will
open their mouths and an "unsealing" will begin to take place and things will be spoken into existence. When the
Prophet of God hears a Word, he will speak it, and what had been sealed will be unsealed. Many things will be released
and set in motion in this manner. The Lord has kept many things hidden and laid up for this day you and I live in. You will
begin to see this during this year. Prophets will begin to come out of their "wilderness" and the people will begin to
wonder "who are these that are coming forth?" "What are they doing?" Some of the most "common people" will come
forth with the mantle of the prophet and great care must be made not to speak against them. For the Lord has heard their
crying and prayers while in the wilderness and all that was once spoken against the Prophet of God will be tolerated no
more without judgement.
The Prophet of God was abused, misunderstood, left out, ignored, and refused for a long time and the cup of the Lord’s
anger is full. There is no more room.
Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
The hidden things are going to come to light! Sin that was hidden will begin to be exposed in great measure on those
who refuse to repent. Many in church leadership will see their secret sins exposed. Ezekiel 8-6 He said furthermore unto
me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I
should go far off from my sanctuary?
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of
them that obey not the gospel of God? Some will be forced out of their ministry. Many will repent after being exposed. A
greater side of persecution will begin now along with the coming forth of God's people. For God's people will not speak
kind smooth words, no, there will come a "true word", a "bombshell" out of their mouth that will be felt by many who are
in the hearing. For they will fear they will be next to be found out. Because of this, many in different denominations will
refuse their brother and sister and seek to punish them and to bring evil on them. But in their doing, God will judge
fiercely those who touch His people.(Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.) Many of Gods people will
start showing up to proclaim ,and what they proclaim will discomfort the people. For the people’s hearts are cold and
they have erred after the ways of Cain. Pastors will not know what to do with these people. "Are they genuine?" "Are they
truly sent of God?" "What will I do?" "Should I give them a platform and then see my church turn on me?" These will be
the thoughts that will come to the shepherds. Many will be found wanting in the balances of the Lord. In the actions they
take they will be judged by the Lord. You will see this and you will remember what was said. A "nobody" will show up
and you will see. By the year 2000, this will be a very common occurrence. Be careful what you say about those you
don’t know. Don’t be too quick to judge. Allow their fruits to be made manifest. Be careful again I say. Do not be found
out as speaking against the Lords anointed as there is no more room in the cup. Teach those around you to be slow to
speak, quick to listen. Judge everything by the word of God. If you are not sure, don’t say anything. For God takes the
foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The people God is gonna use in this next "move" are a people who have
been kept hidden in the Lord.
Now is the time to seek the Lord and that all be cleansed. Let nothing that defiles be found in us. Our hands and hearts
must be clean and pure. Our motives and our doings must be right.
For I hear the word "Judgement" in the Spirit and it is loud and everyone will know of somebody who was found out. Fear
in the hearts of the shepherds! Fear in the hearts of the elders! Fear in the hearts of those in administrative offices in the
church! Fear in the hearts of the deacons! It has to be this way!
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be
holy and without blemish.
The five fold ministry will come back to the church through this move. There must be a prophet, an apostle, as well as a
pastor. All giftings have to be in operation and all members of the body must be functioning together. The fear of the Lord
will come rushing back into the church! A reverence will be known that was long ago lost. At first it will be a finding out,
then a more drastic judgement for those who will not reverence the Lord. All that can be shaken, will yet again be shaken
and the beginnings of the end will come.
May His peace fill your hearts.

Unity, Love, Obedience

Expansion on unity and what I see God doing.
With the Heaven's Saints M/M there has been a fun, hard, bad, fleshly, graceful, merciful, etc.. period
of growth in the Lord. The 1st year was of us determining if this is where we are to be or not. Some
stayed, others left. 2nd year was about facing ourselves and much conflict, battles personal and body
wise. The hardest year of our walk in Christ for most of us. This was a year of learning to stand in all
things. To shake the dust off of our pants when we stumbled or fell and say, 'Even so Lord, I follow
You!!' 'What else is there!?' Many times of doubt, of temptation the desert and wilderness constantly at
our side as we walked along the edge of the cliff ready to fall back in anytime. And DID fall back most
of the year! But this was an extremely important place of growth and maturity for those who stood. 3rd
year is a year of relationships.
A year of coming together, drawing closer, even in the face of extreme emotionalism or anger.
Realizing that we CAN trust each other, as man goes. That we DO love each other, as the Lord has
enabled. That there IS more and He is faithful. A time in which many were hurt, angered, and yet came
back and stood. It has recently become a time of deep searching of our hearts as the Lords light is
revealing much at this time. And those I saw as most unable to get past self are the very ones that the
Lord has used to usher in this time of revealing and forgiveness and love and humbling ourselves in
front of each other. In confessing to each other, in caring for each other, in praying for each other, in
obedience to stand and wait upon the Lord. Some in obedience out in the battle for souls often. How
precious THESE are! A side note: I see how this thing of unity works! I see it more clearly now than
ever before. As we shed our masks (those things which the light is/has been revealing in our hearts,
known and unknown) if we confess them to one another, and repent of them and give them up to the
Lord, He is faithful and takes them from us. And as we see that those we confess to still have a heart
for us, we are drawn not only closer to them, but to the heart of God. That very place which seems so
illusive to us and we have such a hard time understanding how to reach. His heart! How awesome is
our Lord YHVY! He is nurturing us, feeding us from the breast of El Shaddai. And His breast have
been much swollen for some time desiring to feed His children. Many tears have been wept over the
grief of the Spirit in this. But be encouraged to keep on keeping on in this thing! It is this that draws us
near to His heart and gives us nourishment from God. Walking the walk and not just talking the talk.
Believing in Him above all else to accomplish what He has started in each and everyone of us and
corporately as well. IT IS through love we move and function as a complete body, united in Messiah
Yeshua. Not ideology, tradition of man, and doctrines of division. It is through barring our hearts to
each other and Him we become one in spirit. It is only when we come to this that we can truly come
into agreement in our prayers and supplications before YHVY. We HAVE to come to trust and love
and acceptance between ourselves in the Lord before we can come to agreement. For as we pray,
we still look to others opinions and thoughts of us, our own sin and iniquities become a place of battle
in most every prayer, we cant even wait upon our Lord for all the distractions of the things that so
easily distract us from Him and truth. The answer in here. And when this comes before each of us it
seems like such a huge, terrifying mountain. But such are we as to give a GOOD report, that which is
in us is MUCH greater than that which is before us! Once we do this thing, we look back and say,
'THAT was what hindered me Lord!?!?!?' 'It is such a SMALL thing!' Just as we will see Satan when
all is done, all is accomplished in the end.
Now I am speaking to issues of growth and maturity, of obedience, not salvation (I don't believe). But
so fully worthy! This is a part of that which will bring the body in to true unity and maturity in Christ. A
bride, spotless, pure in love, devotion, and obedience to the Bridegroom. INTIMATE!
These past 3 years we have come far, as is seen by man, but have much farther to go in truth. We are
now entering a time also of restoration. And this is also true of many other parts of the body. As each
comes into true unity, at the proper time, many will be linked together. Places of refuge, places of
anointing and empowerment, places of teaching and growth and all places of discipleship in Christ.
In this we also will find much ridicule, accusation, persecution eventually. And this I fear mainly from the
established church and then government. A separation is now upon us at this time of restoration. The
Lord is going to restore ALL that has been stolen from the body! In this will also be much battle and
pain, because we do not understand the scope of all of this. Many things will SEEM as though Satan
is trying to steal, but it will be the Lord taking it out to return, replace with the real. The counterfeit has
been in charge for to long. Now comes the real.
So be encouraged Saints! Rejoice even in the times of the coming trouble. For such darkness as
comes may never have been seen before, but then neither has such light!
Part 1 of ????
May the Lord our God bless and keep each and everyone of you. May His light shine upon your hearts
and reveal all that is there for His good will and glory. And may the bride, the body of Christ be
complete and full.
Shalom
Lazarus

An Urgent Word
Matt Lewin
In all humbleness in the Lord Jesus...
Hear now what the Sovereign Lord is saying to the body in the USA. What has happened to the body you seek comfort
in material possessions my people come out of Babylon she wobbles in a drunken stupor. Seek me, seek not revival, I
will uplift and help those who humble themselves with a broken and contrite heart. How many different ways do I have to
show you USA my fury is about to poured out in full measure, few shall be spared. My patience grows thin, listen to me,
repent.
Only those who I have deemed worthy and humble enough shall be spared I tire of constantly warning the USA through
my prophets, teachers and preachers of the word. They teach the truth for the words of truth are in their hearts, minds
and upon their lips. They speak my truth. Florida is only the start, you are concerned about the dollar value of the
destruction caused.
I cause disruption to the business of Florida I shall bring misery to the sun-shine state and strip it of its wealth, its orange
fields shall be a desolation I shall consume all before me, for it is a prostitute. It is my holy fire and will sear the earth. I
have already spoken about my holy fire consuming all before it, take heed to my words. My word shall not return to me
void but shall accomplish the tasks for which I have sent it.
Many concern themselves with the environment, can you not see that I created all around you, do I not have the right to
destroy it? The lie of environmentalism comes from Satan, it blinds many of my people and consumes many, it has
become an idol. Take refuge in me the righteous rock, all who dwell in me my love shall surround them like a shield and
protect them from the fiery darts of the enemy. Those who choose to lust after desires of the flesh, their lust shall strip
them of all they have, they have prostituted themselves to the beast. Whores.
The Lord gave me the scripture [ISAIAH 17:4-11]
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his
flesh shall wax lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall
be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 ¶ Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of
the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have
made, either the groves, or the images.
9 ¶ In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left
because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy
strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but
the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

Unconditional Surrender
Sherry Mackey
December 2, 1998:
There is no crisis or situation that is beyond MY sphere of jurisdiction. I have complete power over MY
creation so that what I will, I will absolutely. You feel all alone, but you are not alone. I have promised to
never leave you or forsake you. I promised you I would be there till the very end. It is in the times that
you feel distant you must remember that I came to make MY abode with you. When I knocked at your
door, you opened your heart to MY Spirit and MY Spirit came into you, and we became a team.
Emmanuel, God is with you, for even the smallest sparrow does not escape MY view.
As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I AM with you. Though it looks like no one is
with you, I have gone before you to make the crooked places straight and the rough places shall be
made plain. I will lead you into paths that you have not known and I will make the darkness light before
you. Unconditional surrender is the only way out. Surrender to the guardian of your soul. Embrace the
place where you are at, for I AM teaching you. Surrender to the Sovereign Lord as the guide of your
path way. Jeremiah walked with and prophesied to Israel as they went into captivity. His walk revealed
the way out of the pit of despair by embracing the cross, embracing the cost and embracing the lost.
Arise, take the allotted journey before the people, for many look to you to show the way so they may
possess the land that I have allotted to them. I say that this path of the shadow of death is part of your
equipping and molding to make you into a container fit for MY use.
I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The way is narrow, contracted by pressures that lead to life, for
only pure Truth comes from pure Life. Your life quest is to walk the path I have chosen, no matter how
dark it seems, for your path shall become light to many. Many will see your light as you come out of
great darkness and they will learn of My path that takes them from glory to glory. Some have instructed
few, some have instructed many, but each soul speaks volumes. You have strengthened weak and
feeble hands. You have been a support and a comfort to confirm feeble knees. You have been a
strength and help to the poor and needy in their distress. Through your intercessions and giving of
yourself, you have provided a refuge from the storms. The valley of the shadow of death has taught you
new lessons. New lessons of trust and compassion. Now you have obtained understanding of why it is
hard for some that have been wounded, to be healed and to be able to forgive. How do wounds heal?
How deep is the wound? Is it a scratch, or is it a gaping hole in the heart? I AM the God who heals,
seals and delivers. I shall heal MY way, for I AM a sovereign God. As they continue to seek MY way, I
will help them to recover and I will help them to forgive, by MY Grace. For helping a person to forgive,
you must learn to get to the source of the wounds of MY people and help them recover and not say,
"just get over it." Believe Me when I say, "THEY WANT TO GET OVER IT." Bind up the broken
hearted. Encourage them to get help, for there is no shame or guilt in prayerfully seeking help. My
body is unbalanced in this area. Many of My people hide so their wounds won't be seen or reopened
by their brothers and sisters. Trust not in any brother or sister, but trust in Me to lead you and to deliver
you. If MY people cannot come to My church for help, they will seek outside help. The old performance
patterns they have used to prove their worth cannot measure up to a seemingly intolerant church. They
hide from view, ashamed and frustrated that they somehow are castaways. How can MY body be
restored and healed if the way is not made through the valley? Pray to ME that I may increase your
compassion for MY wounded and broken, says the Lord.

Understanding the Times

and Knowing What Spiritual Israel Should Do
Pastor Kerry M. Denten
Dear Friends,
God has been "all over me" to get this insight on paper and release it to the Body of Christ. If you have
a witness to it, please feel free to use it for the edification, exhortation and comfort of the Church. I
pray it brings much blessing.
1 Chronicles 12:32 says that in the midst of David’s army there were "men of Issachar, who
understood the times and knew what Israel should do." This, I believe, is the one thing that the church
is most lacking at this crucial time. As a result of the lack of this kind of prophetic ministry functioning,
many churches have lost their way in regard to this present move of God, with many having
abandoned it altogether.
In The Message translation of the Scripture, Eugene Peterson interprets Proverbs 29:18 in this way:
"When people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves. But when they attend to
what He reveals, they are most blessed."
Because of this, much of what I have been doing these past five years or so is to preach prophetically,
in order to bring insight to the Body of Christ that she might "understand the times and know what she
should do". I believe this to be the primary need for the church right now as she charts a course
through these hazardous times of transition into the next phase of this present move of God.
It is not enough to simply bring a "thus saith the Lord" to the body, rather, we must place ourselves in a
position to gain understanding OF the word rather than simply being a vessel to PROCLAIM the word.
With this in mind, please allow me to bring you some understanding from Acts 1:5. This one verse of
Scripture unlocked a wealth of understanding for me in regard to the seasons of this present move of
God and the purposes He has in it.
Acts 1:5 (NIV) "For John baptised with water, but in a few days I will baptise you with the Holy Spirit."
I was in a meeting one morning when the preacher began to read from this passage. I have no idea
what he ended up preaching, because the Holy Spirit "trapped" me in and began to speak to me
about the seasons of the move of God that had just begun in Australia at that time. As a result, I have
been preaching this for four years now, proclaiming it wherever I can.
The Lord said to me that this verse speaks of transition; "…in a few days…" or "…in a little while…";
that there would be three distinct seasons to this move of God and that these seasons would mirror
the Gospels and the Book of Acts.
If you look closely at what the verse says, you will see that Jesus Himself speaks of three distinct
seasons of the visitation of God during His time on earth. "For John baptised with water (a John the
Baptist season), but in few days I (a Jesus Season is implicit because He's saying it) will baptise you
in the Holy Spirit (a Pentecost Season).
Can you see it? 1) a John the Baptist season 2) a Jesus Season 3) a Pentecost Season. This sounds
like the Gospels and the Book of Acts to me!
With these three distinct seasons in mind, cast your memory over the last four years or so of this
present move of God. In relation to Acts 1:5, what do you see? The first season was a John the
Baptist season. Its first primary feature was about repentance (making every high thing low by dealing
with our pride, and making every low thing high by dealing our brokenness). John’s ministry was also
characterised by a strong call to the River.
Think about what John the Baptist preached; "Prepare the way of the Lord."
The renewal was a place of preparing us as a highway for the Lord to move into the earth upon. Don’t
think for a minute that He will make some mystical appearance. Until He returns, He will ALWAYS
work through His church ... that's us. Therefore WE must prepare the way of the Lord in our own lives
that He might flow into the world.
With this in mind, let us look at the second season of this present move of God. What do you see as
the most common traits of a Jesus ministry? Of course healing, deliverance and the miraculous were
the most obvious traits, but there were others, such as teaching, preaching, a call to discipleship and
mentoring.
What then do you see as the way that Jesus began his ministry? A proclamation of God's intention is
what he began with, then He followed it by more conferences and seminars to learn how to do it ...
right?
Wrong!
In this next season, which I believe much of the church is now transitioning into, you will soon see
ordinary men and women making a stand in their "local tabernacles" and declaring the purpose of
God for their lives. They won’t continue to conference about it, or do more seminars to learn about it,
they will simply go out and produce the fruit to prove that "the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon
(them)"!
Many have done this in the past, but they have not had the fruit to back up their declaration because
they were unwilling to endure the transition time of the wilderness.
Think about Jesus. He was considered a carpenter's son. What did He have to offer? Surely it couldn't
be him that God would choose. Surely it will be a fully trained high priest and not an ordinary
carpenter's son. The difference was, Jesus didn't just talk the talk ... HE WALKED THE WALK!
Unfortunately, many have gained a revelation of what they're called to, but they have proclaimed it and
moved in it too early, thus proving nothing, causing the church to distrust them even more. But this is
about to change!
You see, these ordinary people will go about "doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the
devil". When they are seen to be making progress by actually "doin' the stuff", you will find small bands
of followers coming around these ones wanting to learn from those who are producing the fruit. It will
be just like the days of Jesus with His disciples. In fact, in some instances, we are beginning to see
this even now because there are those who have endured their personal wildernesses and have been
brought forward by God to minister in His power.
The third season will be a Pentecost season because if you remember our text, the Holy Spirit
impressed me that this move of God would mirror the Gospels and the Book of Acts. Remember the
three seasons. If you look at the gospels they contain the first two seasons; John and Jesus. The Book
of Acts contains the third season, that is, Pentecost and A CHURCH EMPOWERED!
For too long there has been only 20% of the church doing 80% of the work. But after this Pentecost
season hits us, 80% of the church will do 100% of the work with multitudes of ordinary men and
women "doin’ the stuff" resulting in "turning the world upside down".
What then, must happen to the Jesus-type ministries?

Many leaders are insecure in allowing those under them to rise above them, but I believe it is the mark
of an outstanding mentor to overcome their fear (which is a kind of pride), and cause those he trains
to exceed him.
John that Baptist knew this ... he decreased so that Jesus could increase.
Jesus knew this ... He physically decreased so that the Holy Spirit’s influence might increase to allow
the church at large to do the work.
When the Pentecost season hits us, which is yet a while away, we as the Jesus-type ministries must
be ready to step back from the lime-light and move into a teaching and mentoring role so that the
Body of Christ will be released into "doin’ the stuff". That's when we will truly see the nameless,
faceless generation of revivalists.
I think it's Rod Parsley that calls his youth ministry "X-Change". I love it. Many of our young people are
a part of a generation who will change the earth by x-changing their own lives for those of Christ in
them.
In order to make the transitions I have outlined above, we need a genuine restoration of the function of
the men of Issachar in our churches. Not so that imbalanced prophetic people can try to control the
church, rather, that the church might correctly use its "key to knowledge" (Luke 11:52) to unlock the
door to God’s purpose for her in this hour. Without this, our forward movement is almost hopeless.
In this hour, we must become like blind Bartimaeus who, when faced with a visitation of Jesus,
humbled himself and cried out for a restoration of his vision so that he might see what God was doing.
Without the insight that our prophetic ministries can bring, much of the church will continue "stumbling
all over themselves".
Let us humble ourselves and once again become "prophet-making organisations", that we might be
"most blessed by attending to what He reveals."

Unity Verses Agreement

Jim Rinker
Gideon's Army Weekly Prophetic Word

Issue #35
The intention of this newsletter is to provide fresh revelation from the throne of God to the body of Christ. It is the Lord's
intention for His words to breathe life into each of His children, draw us into intimacy with Himself, cause us to come into
agreement with Him, and to prepare and purify us to be His pure spotless bride which He desires and deserves.
Unity verses Agreement
In this late hour, the Lord is bringing His children into one accord. It will be from this posture of agreement that the Lord
will be able to then gather us together in one place at one time to endow His children with His fire baptism. This fire
baptism will bring two ingredients together to create "one man" or "one bride". These ingredients are the fire of purification
(fruits of the spirit) and the fire of anointing (gifts of the spirit).
There is a certain sound of agreement or accord, like two instruments perfectly tuned to one another that is
accompanying those who the Father is bringing into agreement. This sound is our pure devotion without mixture to the
Lord Jesus.
I would like to note here that I did not say "perfection" as in sinlessness but rather pure devotion concerning our motives
being without mixture or guile while we still stumble to a certain degree in the weakness of flesh.
>From the book of Acts we can see that those gathered on the eventful day of Pentecost had certain requirements met
in order to partake of what was about to occur. Those in the upper room had both spent time with Jesus as well as had
completed their discipleship training with Him. They were tested by the master and found worthy to partake of His
apostolic leadership or government. This is referred to as entering into His kingdom and establishing His government and
order on earth (more on this in later letters).
We see in Acts two and three a specific order of events that takes place. These are:
His disciples being told by Jesus were to gather - The fire baptism - Simultaneously, His government or kingdom order
being established - A great revival (3000 saved) - New converts continuing under the direction of His government - Unity
amongst brethren (being of one heart and one mind)
The Lord is going to mimic (not imitate) the eventful day of Pentecost by sending us His latter rain. It will be the fire
baptism upon those who are gathered in one place, at one time, and in one accord that will allow His kingdom order and
government to be re-established. It will not be until His true kingdom order is re-established that we will see a great
revival. His kingdom order must first be established in order for Him to bring about the "last call" by which new converts
as well as lukewarm believer's are delivered from bondage directly into His liberty.
This brings us to our topic, which is accord verses unity. What we are seeing right now is God bringing His children into
one accord. We have a common thread (our devotion to Jesus) that loosely ties us together but there still is no oneness.
The word accord means that we are still separate entities but we have a common thread that holds us together.
Biblically, Jesus brought His disciples together in one accord, in one place, and at a specific time in order that He may
convert them by the fire baptism from multiple entities to singularity (Jesus prayer being answered from John 17).
Unity is when many components come together to be one unit. We see in the book of Acts AFTER the fire baptism that
they were of one heart, mind, and soul. So on that day 120 INDIVIDUALS were gathered together and what came forth
was ONE PEOPLE. This is the divine work of the fire baptism. It is the final process of the inner work of the Holy Spirit
were we move from individuality as a people to oneness (they had all things in common Acts 4:32).
Biblically, the bride is always referred to in the singular sense.
If we look at the Song of Solomon, the Shulamite woman who is chosen as the bride of the King (Jesus) is one person
representing all who will make up the singular bride. This is in stark contrast to the other group mentioned in this
passage, the "daughter's of Jerusalem" who are mentioned in the plural tense. This signifies that there is no accord or
commonality concerning this group of believer's as they are still operating as individuals doing their own thing and living
for their own goals and not doing all things for the sake of the body.
In conclusion, the Lord's divine unity is coming! Let us be like-minded and in one accord as we watch and wait for the
Lord to bring us into His perfect unity through which His plans and purposes may be fulfilled in this last hour.

Valley of Decision
Bill Burns
THE TRUMPET
October 9, 1998:
I am coming, yes, with vengeance. Vengeance is not directed at My people; it is directed at the sin that has consumed
My people. The vengeance is directed at Satan's kingdom and the kingdoms of the world that have brought defilement
upon the life that I have given many. Yet, I am coming with judgment. I am coming with fire; I am coming with the sword
of My Spirit, and with the very sword of My mouth, I must destroy even some of those who have called Me by name. It
has already been clearly spoken in My Word, "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you." You would
never come to Me and know My heart and My mind and My desires for you. I came even in the hour of darkness and
urged you to come apart from your sin. I came even in the clouds of despair, and said, "Take heart in Me. Come apart.
Come with Me. Walk with Me, and I shall save you and preserve you even to the end of the age."
My Word declares that in the Valley there are multitudes--multitudes in the Valley of Decision. I say unto you, this is the
time of the Valley of Decision; the decisions that are now being made at the end of the age will forevermore seal each
one in his eternal habitation. I come tonight with a heart of mercy and a heart of love, and I compel you and call unto you
and urge you to hearken to My words. I urge you to come aside. I urge you to seek Me with all of the power of your spirit.
If you do, I will be with you and come to walk with you in the hour of temptation that comes upon the whole earth. I have
been calling to you for some time now. I have said, "Come!" For, this is the day and the hour in which you must come.
There will no longer be a delay. There will no longer be grace or mercy, for the season of the end is upon us and comes
quickly. Surely that day will come when the wedding feast comes forth and the door is closed, and there will be those
that desire to come in, but I will have to say, "No, no." You could have come, but you would not. Come unto Me now, and
I shall never leave you. Come unto Me, and I shall never forsake you. Come unto Me, and I shall preserve you. Come
unto Me, and My love shall sustain you. Come unto Me, and My Spirit shall keep you and counsel you. I shall show you
the way in which you must walk. Indeed, judgment comes upon the earth and upon My very own house. Thus, it is
written, and it will take place, so come! Come!

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it goes. So is
everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
October 16, 1998:

(Lord, what is this strange spiritual atmosphere?) The enemy has created an illusion against My people of loneliness and
isolation. The temptation will come to believe you are alone and don't belong to or fit in the Body of Christ. But, I say to
you, this is a lie. Do not believe it! I tell you that every member of My Body, each one in My kingdom, has a special and
precise place and function. There are no parts that will function independently from the rest of the Body. You must not
respond by the way you feel because a lying spirit has been loosed to deceive you and cause you to withdraw and feel
rejected. Resist this temptation. You are precious to Me and vital to the rest of the Body. I have given you to those
around you.
October 14, 1998:

Trouble on every side! Difficulties at every turn! Why? Haven't I said it is time to get your house in order? How can order
come out of chaos unless those things that create chaos be eliminated? I am shining a light on those places that need
to be dealt with in your own hearts so that order, My divine order, may be established. Yield to this cleansing and
purifying process. Let me mold you into the vessel that I desire. Let Me recreate you to be a vessel of honor useful for My
purposes. I am the Potter and you are clay. Yield to the work of My hands.
October 13, 1998:

Resist the devil, and he will flee. The enemy has unleashed an all-out attack by way of seduction to entice My people
back into old places of bondage. I say, resist the temptation. I have made a way of escape for you. Refuse to entertain
feelings of discontentment, discouragement, depression and giving up. A spirit of death by way of suicide has been
released against those who have given in to despair. Resist! You will find a release from this attack if you will but praise
Me. Enter into My presence with thanksgiving and praise. Seek My face. Rise above your circumstances and get
refocused. Be re-established in truth through My Word and in communion with Me. I will lift you up!
October 10, 1998:

The enemy has come against My flock to scatter and destroy them. But, you must gather them again and reassure them
and bring peace to their hearts. It is fear that has gripped their hearts, and the sounds of the coming storm have caused
them to be edgy. Be strong, then, and walk among My chosen with strength and grace, calming their souls and bringing
truth to their troubled minds. Beat back the wolves that would devour My little ones by causing them to panic and flee.
Peace! Be still!

Some of His Pieces ..

Acts chapter two ... " ...DREAMS ... VISIONS ... PROPHECY ..."
Sat. Aug. 15th. 1998 Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
This past week God has been tying together several dreams I had in mid-July, which I had previously not 'connected'
together ... for some I thought, at that time, were for me only, one was sent to an individual church, one was posted to
DayStar ministries Dreams and Visions list (Paula Cavu, Australia), and basically I just had not tied them together, at all
! (- even though they all were received within about a weeks time, in July) ...
Last night the Holy Spirit began to speak to me about formatting the dreams together (which I then did) and sending
them out to a wider scope of His Body ( this was a very STRONG prompting / urging of God) .. I also e-contacted a friend
in Alabama, inquiring about where / who I could post these to?
This morning I awoke to read in my mail a brief 'word' posted on Rohn Price' EAGLES list, (I only had 2 mails, & the
other was from a family member) Abraham Flippo's post said in part :
"... see that people receive instructions, that are important as part of the overall plan, but that do not reveal
the plan as a whole. Act when He tells you to, even though it may seem 'limited in scope'. There is increased
prophetic utterance and prophetic gesture. Just do it!
Abraham Flippo "
Whoa ! So, the following 'pieces of the overall picture' which I have received, I now submit for the edification of His
Church, as He deems. I'm starting with the most recent dream of August 8th., as the whole thing is rather long, & there
may be some folks who choose not to read it all ... However, I really feel in Holy Spirit, that there may be individual tools
and small pieces of His plans for *now* that are instructional, contained in these prophetic dreams, if you do feel led to
read them all. May God oversee my following submission's, ALL for His Glory in the earth through His beloved Body. -
amen
( * Please note that the partial interpretations and comments were done at the time of receiving these dreams -- before
God showed me the 'stream' of these dreams being tied-together, just this past week -- so, I have left these previous
partial comments / insights / interpretations in the below submissions .... I've also added a few comments last night, and
tidied up - as much as possible !
Here are 2 visions (brief overview) and 3 dreams received in Mid-July plus one recent dream of early Aug. which were
received in this order:
July 9th. & 10th. = 2 visions, re: 'seeing w./His eyes'

July 11th. = 'House moving' dream - Big moving of God, via some 'mud-flow'
July 14th. = '3 dream scene' dream, re: 'seeing' etc. and possibly Apostle/Prophet
July 16th. = '2 milk cans dream' -- re: Apostle/Prophet
Aug. 7th./8th. = "God's Line-up" dream, re: Offices in His church, His placement is eminent .
Aug. 6th./7th., "God's Line-Up" dream:.. A very short *repeating* dream ..
There are four people kinda' lined up. Three men and myself. First, in front of me is a man, then myself, then the other
two guys behind me. We are somewhat in line, with about 5 - 8 feet between each of us (I think we're in a building, but I
don't really notice any of this -- I just notice the people ) I'm sort of turned sideways, so that man #1 is on my left and the
other two men are on my right.
I'm in awe, because I *know* God is showing me in the dream the order of placement for His ministries in the church, i.e.
Apostle, Prophet, Teacher, etc... I realize this is so neat, that I'm seeing God's perfect placement for each ministry or
Office, in The Church -- and these 3 men represent these 'Offices' ....
I semi-woke up several times, thinking I've got to remember this dream, it's very important ... I'm being shown God's
perfect order...This seemed to go on for about two hours .. don't know ? I never woke up enough to look at the clock .- I
would semi-wake and then go back to sleep and dream the whole thing over again !! I think this happened three or four or
five times -- not sure ? A very restless agitated sleep, in the sense of trying to awake and remember ... but only falling
back to sleep ... to dream the whole scenario all over again ..
Some first shot interpretation ...
I think God is really just addressing what's been troubling my heart lately -- which is: ministry which is out of alignment,
or out of line, or just rotten and or fallen, or out of whack .. However in this dream myself and the 3 men are in their
perfect place, or His perfect placement (myself & 3 men are *lined* up).... In the dream I'm SO happy to see everyone in
God's correct placement for them.
Being the only woman I represent 'The Church', or myself & folks who receive from these ministry Offices ( 3 men) .. but I
can't remember clearly who was what office upon awakening -- but this was very clear in the actual dream .. It all seemed
Quite important in the dream, and I felt so privileged and awestruck in the dream to have God show me all this.
This is my Holy spirit 'sensing' as I asked God about the dream .. The 'line' was something like this: Man representing
Office of Pastor/Teacher in front and on my left (as I faced kinda' sideways) -- then behind me and to my right Man
representing Office of Prophet, and then behind him and off to one side slightly, Man representing Office of Apostle. At
one point of the dream I am above looking down on the 'line', and just very thrilled that all the men are standing in God's
placement of Office .. in His Church ...
Again, In part, I believe God is addressing my concerns of late, in this dream --Which are deceptive ministries, those in
authority who knowingly or unknowingly deceive the sheep .. or 'ones' who are 'out of line', ... and God is just showing me
He has a perfect 'Order' for His Church that WILL line up and WILL come ...
The dream is repeated over and over as God is emphasizing this dream and its message to me .. that it will come to
pass -- probably soon. ~~ selah
Joseph -- "And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly
bring it to pass." - Gen. 41:32 --- update: Sun. AM service at our church Aug. 9th. - several prophetic Words came forth
this AM -- followed by pastor Joe who gave prophetic Word which in part was that God will place His Office ministries, in
the church -- in their correct order -- His perfect placement - :) - God spoke of His Prophets and Apostles through this
prophecy .. this was also part of pastors' prophetic preaching in this service. This is a confirmation of God's message in
my Friday dream just a little over 24 hours previous - that these things Will come to pass, and possibly quite soon -
Glory !
I was wondering why I had seen 3 men in this latest dream, rather than 5 men, or the 5-fold ministries in the church. So, I
asked a friend & dream expert, Ira L. Milligan [author of: "Understanding the Dreams You Dream", Treasure House, an
imprint of Destiny Image Publishers], who pointed out that the Office of Evangelist was not represented, not because it is
left out or lesser in any way, but because this Office, *Evangelist*, though extremely important to God and The Church,
has no 'governmental authority' in the local church. He felt my 3 men represented the 3-cord governmental leadership of
the church, as Holy Spirit had given me in the interpretation: Pastor/Teacher, Prophet, Apostle...
Mid-July visions / dreams
July 9th and 10th I had two visions, VERY lovely (I saw Jesus face and eyes in these visions) These 2 visions, over two
days, seemed to be giving the message of 'seeing with His eyes'.. but also included the aspect of His eyes being on us
(me). These would be a whole 'nuther writing :), but I include reference to them here, as they seemed related to this "3
scenes" dream of July 14th. below, re: scales, and eyesalve ...
July 11th. "House Moving" dream ... circumstances: Two days previous I had read for the first time Bob Jones
prophetic experience and revelation in "...Basilisk" .. and was amazed at the references to the real life Hurricane Danny
coming in 'between the straights' (gates) ... of Mobile Bay ... I was also surprised a bit as to the similarities of Bob Jones'
revelation and a few 'bits / pieces' The Lord has shown me in recent months. BTW just 'baby bits' :) , but caused Bob
Jones' vision to be impressed upon my heart / mind (as with many folks, I've no doubt :)
July 11th. short Dream:

Observing from slightly above and behind (backside), I see a large square older white house -- very neat/clean, good
paint, kept-up house. There are similar houses to the left and right, but these are not real clear to me visually, i.e. I'm
zeroed on this one house. All these houses seem to be sitting in a uniform row on a slight embankment which leads
down to a medium sized river.
I'm hearing commentary of a woman's voice, like a newscaster. She is reporting: "All of the homes stood without damage
as Hurricane Danny came into Mobile Bay, except this one house (which I'm observing as she narrates / reports). Due to
the subsequent flooding caused by the hurricane this house was 'moved' ..."
..and blah, blah .. she continues reporting, as I now watch this white house slide down the embankment in some mud
flow, into the river, and move upriver (impossible!) to my right, where it settles upon ground across river (the other side),
about 50 yards up. It stands alone here, i.e. I see no other houses on this other side of the river...
The last thing I notice is that one corner section of this house, beginning at foundation level and going up about halfway,
has been damaged and bashed - ripped up wood - with wider damage at the base. I'm thinking, "Oh, .. It must have hit a
tree or something as it landed & settled in this new place..." Other than this one corner area of damage, the house
seems to be intact. - end --
Attempted first-shot interpretation: This house represents a local church (- or fellowship of believers), or in a more
general sense it could also represent *The Church* .. It is built square, possibly as in the foursquare church of John's
Revelation...& it is white & neat/clean appearing = purity and His Holiness.
God's "spiritual" judgment (dividing) of these houses (churches or fellowships) is represented by hurricane and flooding in
this dream. I believe this is God 'dividing out', or a 'separating' judgment, to this particular church, or possibly out from
The Church, ... God's Prophetic church (house).
In the process of being separated from the other houses (churches or fellowships ?) and moving into a 'new' place the
'other side' of the 'river', (through God's powerful spiritual dealings ), this house sustains some damage (one corner), but
not structurally severe...
It will go against the current (up-river) miraculously, in this move (against the status quo ?) to this 'new' place.
Implementation of this moving and placement by God will be, and look 'messy' (mud flow). i.e. of or through enemy
tactics, or looking like a 'bad thing' possibly, but it is really 'Of' God:)
[ I feel (not sure here ?) this is a new spiritual level In Christ, i.e. not necessarily a natural moving (but it could be this
also, for some folks?!) ... but a moving of Holy Spirit Power upon this house (prophetic church)...]
July 14, "3 scenes" dream:

First I see scaly skin such as from a reptile or rattle-snake, which in the dream reminds me of a word God dropped in my
heart about a month previous, concerning 'training', in part He said, "...I'm training you to defeat giants & dragons" - for
some reason this scaly skin I'm seeing, in this dream, reminds me of this ...
Following this dream scene - I’m given the words : '..scales falling from eyes..' .. as in Pauls' blindness being healed,
after his conversion.
"And Ananias went....laying his hands on Saul...said, ... The Lord Jesus ... sent me that you may receive
your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and
he received his sight at once ..." - Acts 9:17,18
Secondly I’m making an open faced sandwich, or just one slice of bread on the bottom, with meat, lettuce etc. - looks
real good, for: a person or persons (?) who seems to be present but not in my view in the dream scene, or maybe the
sandwich is for myself (not sure ?). I then take a second slice of bread from a person on my right - for the top of the
sandwich. I only see this 'right-side person's' hands and forearms & my hands / forearms in this dream scene. I'm then
having to be *very* careful to cut the sandwich in two, so that there will be equal halves, as both myself and this 'right-
side person' have contributed a slice of bread.
I’m given the words: '..rightly dividing the Word ..'
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth." - II Tim. 2:15
Lastly I see a half-gallon carton of ice-cream below and in front of me. I know I need to divide it into two, two equal parts.
Somehow then it ends up being 2 one/half gal.’s to give out - multiplication (?)...
I’m given the words, '.. anoint eyes w./eyesalve..'
"I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you
may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye
salve, that you may see." -Rev. 3:18
[There] seem to be progressive scenes in ‘seeing clearly’ (scales falling off), ‘giving out’ (bread-word), and then
‘multiplication’(1 carton into two). I surely like the picture of a miraculous 'double portion' with the ice-cream one, though
... i.e. for both eyes... The ice-cream is God's dream pun on EYES - CREAM, as in EYE SALVE :)
At the time of this dream I felt it was just for myself, and that it had to do with 'seeing with His eyes' (as in my visions a
few days previous), but now am wondering about the possible tie-in with Apostle / Prophets of the 2 milk cans dream a
few days later .. ? i.e. 2 slices of bread, 2 sandwich halves, 2 cartons of ice-cream.... ? & etc.
July 16, "Two Milk-Cans" dream :

Just falling off to sleep... I see a young man, about 15 years old. He's tall and slim - looks like a Spanish or Greek Lad
with dark hair - a pleasant innocent looking young man. He's pushing a wood sided wheel-barrow or hand cart, all
wooden, such as from olden days. The hand-cart has two oversized metal milk cans standing in it. (I think these cans
used to be about 10 gallon size - with a lid and two handles ) These 2 milk-cans in his cart are real large, like about four
feet high +, it looks .. very tall and oversized. The boy is pushing this cargo down a narrow cobblestone street or alley,
such as town / street scenes I've seen in film of the 'running of the bulls' in Spain -- an old street, old buildings, old
country such as in Europe or the Holy Land countries.) There's lot's of people and busy activity of pedestrian bustling's ..
however the people seem to be going the opposite direction from this lad. He's pushing his way through the oncoming
folks -- mostly they step to each side for him - so he & cart can pass - he's quite taller than the people passing, I see...
His cargo of the two oversized milk-cans is drawing the attention of a few folks though .. as he comes down the narrow
street towards me, and out into the larger road where I'm standing (still in this old town). A few of these folks pause, and
then begin to accompany him to .. ?? .. I sense we'll all go to 'a particular place' (?), where the contents of these 2
curious milk-cans will be revealed for us to see .. the few men and women are drawn to go with the boy because of the
unusual large cans, ..because no one seems to know what they contain -- I don't think it's milk ??? - end
possible interpretation - first impressions:
I believe the 'old' city in this dream represents established church as it 'has been'. The young man represents the 'new' of
God being brought into the church 'now'. The old wooden hand-cart may represent the Way of His Cross (as in, 'old
rugged cross') Out of the crowds, busy with other 'daily activities', there are a few folks who will pause and accompany
this 'new'... I feel the two large cans may represent Apostles and Prophets, and what they 'contain' is very precious and
not all of this is revealed yet ... But *will be* revealed to those who take the time to follow this particular 'new'...
[*At this writing, Aug. 15th., through a further dream I had today ( I'll spare y'all :), I'm 'seeing' this young man as
representing Jesus Christ, who of course 'bore the cross' originally -- to birth His Apostles, Prophets, and His beloved
Church ... Jesus Christ pictured in my dream as the 'new' that He now is bringing into His body/church (the town).]
If you have read this far ... well, ... I commend you :) I would like any response, further or different interpretation, insight /
comments as Holy Spirit leads, from you all, and I pray this submission will carry some strategies and insight for those
whom our Lord deems to receive it, in His great Wisdom.
Respectfully submitted In Christ,

Vision for 1998

Fred Watkins
My name is Fred Watkins and I pastor the House of Glory fellowship in Atascasdero, Ca. We are a Apostolic/Prophetic
church and are part of the Christian International Network of Churches (CINC) under Dr. Bill Hamon.
We were in Sunday service, at the start of January, and this is what I saw:
I saw the Lord Jesus climbing up a steep side of a mountain. He was dressed in a gown that was common for the time
He was on this earth. He did not have any difficulty in climbing for He did it with ease and grace. As I telescoped in to
see the Lord closer, I then saw people hanging onto the Lords gown. I saw two kinds of people, those that hung on with
both hands and those that were holding on with only one hand. I asked the Lord what He was showing me. And He said,
"I am taking my church to the next level." Then I asked about the people hanging onto His gown. He said it will take
holding on with both hands to make it to the next level. I asked about those holding on with only one hand. He said,
"those are the ones having to decide if they want to go the next level. They will either let go of the idol that in their other
hand, for it cannot be brought to this new level, or they will hold onto the idol and let go of my gown." I believe that the
Lord is taking his church to a new level in the anointing and power of His Spirit. Those that have chosen to hold on and
go to the next level will make it. Those that let go of the idol in their life, will make it, for they will then have both hands on
the Lord. And those that will not let go of the Idol will lose their grip and stay at the level they are at in the Lord, until the
next time that the Lord will take others to the higher level.

Vision Of Feet
A Vision Given to Lucy Rogers
May 10, 1998
I was spending time with the Lord when I had a two-part vision. In the first part, I saw His feet. On His feet were leather
sandals with silver like buckles
He began to explain the process of making leather usable, and how, after this processing, the leather is soft and pliable
yet will not come apart. It will stretch and can be formed into a shape to fit your feet. If someone else were to put on your
leather sandals and their feet were too large; the sandals would stretch to the point of not fitting your feet anymore.
Our sandals are being custom made to fit only our feet. We need to do just our part and not try to wear other peoples
sandals.
Later, I looked up how leather is processed and what I found confirmed what He had told. I see how we have been going
through this same process. Raw skins are first cured by soaking them in a salt brine or by salting them heavily (we are
the salt of the earth). Then the cured skins are soaked in pure water (Holy Spirit) to remove blood, and dirt, and to
replace lost moisture. After soaking, the flesh is removed from the skins. Skins are then treated (the renewing of our
mind) and become soft and flexible.
In the vision, I began to see different people's feet. I saw many different bare feet; some skinny, some stout, some with
out any feet, and some small. I saw no large feet. Those whose feet were bare represented people in great distress and
suffering humiliation. Some wore sandals like Jesus was wearing while others wore sandals with leather straps up to their
knees. Those wearing sandals with straps to the knee were intercessors looking like privates in the Roman military. The
bottom of all the sandals had thick wooden bottoms.
He said the intercessors needed the strong straps because they were going to go into fierce battle areas. In the vision
they were standing straight and tall. Their legs were not large, but I knew of the great strength they had. They looked like
women's legs.
Those who carry the Word had sandals like those on Jesus' feet. This also represented the disfavor of many men, he
said.
The body will begin to walk like Jesus. There will be much required of the Word people. We must observe how Jesus did
things and wear our sandals as He did. The responsibility will be great. We must maintain intimacy with Him like never
before, having sharp ears to hear His voice. The awesome revelation that will come will require His timing and wisdom.
We must give up our own opinions. All of 'self' must be emptied out so there will be a continuos flow of the Holy Spirit
pouring forth. There will be no time for hurt feelings. We must not take offense though rejected by many. We are to have
a Holy boldness and courage.
Much of the church world as we know it today will be changing and this will be hard for many. To lose the religious
mindset will cause, in many cases, a bloody battle, a war in the church. But look up. The true church will come forth in
splendor.
And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy
garment about thee, and follow me. (Acts 12:8 KJV)
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness
both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; (Acts 26:16 KJV)
Then the Lord said for me to cover myself from head to toe. I took an afghan and did as He said. I saw a body that had
been wrapped in gauze-like material, like a mummy, except that where the face belonged, it was not wrapped. There was
no face in it. It was hollow.
The Lord said, "My church is in grave cloths now, but they are about to come out in Glory and brightness. Just as I was
resurrected from the tomb, so will my body come out in a glorious array of splendor and power. I'm about to unwrap the
grave clothes from the body.
The missing face represents a faceless and selfless people, desiring only the splendor of the Lord to show. We will be a
people no longer interested in being recognized for who WE are but for who HE is.

The Violence of Revival

By Stephen Hill
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force
(Matthew 11:12 NAS). This message has only three points. Number one: Your salvation was won by the violence of the
cross.
To win your salvation, Jesus had to come and personally die a violent death in your place. He was bruised, crushed,
punctured, whipped, ridiculed, spat upon, scorned and abused for you and me. His gentle healing hands and holy feet
were pierced through just before He was subject to the most violent death of His day: Crucifixion on the cross of the
condemned. He waged violent warfare for your salvation. He drank every bitter drop in His cup of suffering. He endured
unbearable pain and violence for you. The physical pain of Calvary, as bad as it was, ended about 2,000 years ago, but
the true pain of Calvary endures to this day. When you know that He died for you and yet you live in a realm of denial,
Jesus feels the pain of rejection anew. He aches when He watches you sin over and over again and spit in the face of
your Heavenly Father who loves you so much. That is the true pain of Calvary. When you choose to sin, you are once
again beating the Lord’s noble head and whipping His scarred back. Each mumbled excuse and spoken rejection
reverberates as yet another curse on His name and all along you know that He died for you on Calvary.
My second point is this: Jesus has done His part. Now it is up to you. You must wage violent warfare against sin! If you
want Jesus Christ to touch you and forgive you today, then you had better get violent about it. Get up and shake the devil
off your lap. If you are sick of seeing sin waste away your life, then you must wage war. The violent man goes to war
against his sins. Don’t make excuses; just get rid of them. Annihilate them with the sword of God’s Word and burn them
in God’s fire without mercy. This is war. If you are struggling with pornography, don’t let the Devil fool you. Burn it.
Destroy it. Wage war! The violent man takes the Kingdom of God by force.
Number three: The salvation of your family and friends depends on you waging violent warfare on their behalf! During the
years I was in the Argentine revival, I saw the inner workings of the revival. The first place I would take visiting pastors to
was behind the scenes, underneath the platform that stood eight feet above the ground. As many as 200 prayer warriors
were in a constant hum of prayer interrupted only by violent roars of intercession. This went on for eight hours throughout
the meeting. Standing on the platform, you could feel the floor literally rumble from the warlike intercession taking place
below!
Those warriors came to pray for hours and hours they were fighting for the Argentines and waging warfare on behalf of
visitors who had flown in from India, Russia, Japan, and America to be prayed for. We do the same here in Pensacola
today. Every Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting is a place were we wage violent warfare through prayer. We plead the blood
of the Lamb and the name of Jesus over everyone who comes to find more of God. We don’t play games. There are souls
on the line.
The Lord spoke to me and told me that many of you that will read this are ‘prisoners of war.’ If you have been taken
captive by the enemy, then through the help of the Holy Ghost, we have broken through the camp and opened the door to
your cell! We are going to jerk you out of that place and walk you right past the armed guards at the broken gates! You’re
coming all the way out today but first, you have to want to be set free. Revival means violent upheaval and overthrow of
principalities in the spirit realm. If you are afraid of warfare and violence, then it is too late. You have landed in the middle
of a life-or-death battle. But you have everything you need for victory, so it’s time for you to get on the front line of this
war. Go after it. You are going to experience victories. Yes, you will feel the heat of hell as you get closer and closer to
those flames, but a supernatural joy and strength will flood your soul as you begin to pull people out of Hell’s fires! This is
why you were reborn into God’s mighty Kingdom: You were ordained to be a violent soldier who delights in snatching the
struggling, wounded, and dying prisoners of war right out of Hell’s fire and Satan’s grasp! Jesus got violent about your
salvation. Isn’t it time for you to get violent about it too? Force your way through the jungles of hell and the muck and
mire of evil thoughts. Crawl right over that cesspool of sin. God is going to heal and deliver you, but you have to get
violent about it and take it by force! Get violent about the Kingdom of God and people will suddenly begin to see Jesus in
your life. Heaven will look down and hell will look up and see that you are finally serious. This is war! Never look for peace
while you proclaim war. Determine in your heart to be the VICTOR!

Vision Of The Harvest Fields

This Item first appeared on the Elijah List

Note from Steve Shultz, Moderator The Elijah List: As you read this very lengthy but very RICH vision, it is important to
put yourself in the place of the person having the vision. When the Lord tells her what to do, and what to pray, it is not for
her, alone, but for the obedient and praying Body of Christ. Instructions to her, are instructions to YOU. Admonitions to
her, are admonitions to the reader to take note. You need to sit down and take this vision slowly. There is a great deal
more revelation than just the length of the vision.
VISION FRIDAY 31 JULY 1998
The vision today began with the Lord showing me field after field after field of vine trees. They went on as far as the high
could see. The Lord has shown me this particular picture each morning as I have wakened, and each evening as I have
gone to sleep for the last few days. There has been no explanation only the same fields of vine trees. Today, however the
Lord released the prophecy, along with many scriptures from His holy word. He said to me: "Child, do not rejoice for the
fruit of much of this harvest is bitter; the grapes are sour and the yield is small. There is a blight upon the crop. Yet I will
cause you rejoice for there will be a mighty harvest despite this blight" and He showed me that the baskets, which some
of the harvesters were carrying were only 1/3rd full and the berries were very tiny. The Lord reminded me that in the days
of Haggai the harvest had been small because little had been planted.
WHERE IS THE FRUIT?
I could see in one field that the workers were searching on the vines for fruit, but there was none there to be found. The
small amount of fruit which was there was already dead and the roots of the tree were exposed, and the Lord said, "This
is not My vine". I could also see that there were birds that had built their nests in these trees, but that the newborn
chicks had died, and the birds were in mourning.
The Spirit of the Lord then lifted me up and I had a panoramic view of the many fields of vines. I could see that there was
a giant thornbush which had taken root at one end of the harvest field and it was spreading like wild-fire through many of
the fields, bringing with it strangulation. It was not only killing the crops but was also attacking the workers. I knew that
the thornbush, unimpeded would destroy the vines, would destroy the olive trees, and would destroy the fig trees. I knew
that the thornbush represented dishonour in the Lord's eyes, that His people in these fields had acted without honour and
without good faith to their fellow workers and to the Lord. I knew also that the Lord would send His fire to destroy these
very fields and their workers if they did not repent. I turned to the Lord, but He silenced me gently and I knew there would
be a moment when we would return to this field, but first there was much more to see.
THOSE THAT GLEAN
I could see that in one field there was what looked like tramps and vagrants, homeless people, women, children and
exiles and they seemed to be gleaning on the edges of the fields. I could see that their harvest was large, the fruit was
plump and fresh and sweet. I could see there was incredible joy on their faces and they were working very hard for the
Lord. This was a harvest, which was ripe and ready to be picked. Neither too bitter, nor too over-ripe. And the Lord
reminded me of His words long ago, that we must not reap to the very edges of the fields, or gather the gleanings of the
harvest. That we should not go over the vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. That we must leave
them for the poor and the alien.
As I looked on at the many fields, I could see that there were different phenomena taking place in different places. One
field was covered with a tarpaulin, the people themselves seemed to be holding it in place, and the crop was dying
because it had no Light. Whilst another field was completely dry and arid, like a desert. There was a drought in this field.
I knew that the Lord was not in these fields. I asked the Lord why the field was in darkness and He showed me that the
workers of this field were those who rejected authority and slandered celestial beings. They spoke abusively against what
they did not understand; they were like wild animals, acting upon a wild instinct. The Lord showed me that although there
were clouds over the field where the drought was, there was no rain and I knew that this was because of the rejection of
authority. These workers were grumblers and fault-finders, following their own evil desires.
BLOWING THEIR OWN HORNS
There was a field next to these that had workers who had little horns, which they were blowing with all their might. Their
faces were red with exhaustion and even though they seemed to be blowing with all their might, the wind was carrying
the noise away and the horns were silent. I knew that the Lord was showing these workers were boastful about
themselves and that they flattered others for their own advantage.
In the field next to this was a whirlwind. It was wreaking utter havoc and I recalled Hosea's words "Will you sow the wind
and reap a whirlwind?". This was a place of unrest, a place where the seeds of peace had not been planted and therefore
there was no harvest of righteousness, only the whirlwind, which was a place of shame in the Lord's field. The vines in
this field were being uprooted by the wind and blown away. Tossed around, they were without fruit and without leaves,
twice dead and I knew that in all of these 3 fields the workers were destined to wander and that the blackest stars had
been reserved for them forever. Above these fields I could see that there were stars dropping from the highest places and
to the left and to the right of the fields I could see there were fig-trees. These fig trees had fruit which was very ripe and
heavy and was being blown off by the wind, and crushed underfoot by the workers themselves. The Lord chastened me
quietly and reminded me that we must build ourselves up in our most holy faith, to pray in the Spirit and to stay in His
mercy. He reminded me that these could be snatched from the fire and saved if we moved in mercy and in the fear of the
Lord.
REFUSE EVERYWHERE
The field next to this was strewn with litter, there was refuse everywhere. I could see that the workers in this field were
working with tools that were broken. Their rakes and their hoes were rusty and had teeth missing. I knew that there was
a carelessness and a slothfulness over the workers in this field. The baskets that were being used for the harvest in this
field had holes in them, and much of the fruit was being lost. I looked far into the distance and I could see that there was
an army of foxes that had been dispatched to this field, along with little squirrels. Together these animals were breaking
in to the fields and stealing the fruit.
In still another field, the workers were bruising the fruit - they were holding small hammers and were hitting the fruit and
bruising it upon the vine, whilst still others were piercing holes in the fruit. This was the place of condemnation, where
words pierced the flesh of other workers. This was the place of false prophets and prophecies and there was much
damage to the fruit. I felt very sad in my spirit to witness this vandalism. I felt sadder still when I saw that the workers
were blind. The Lord allowed me to see that they thought they were pruning the vine, when in fact they were cutting off
the fruit only to let it fall to the ground and die. He spoke to me and reminded me of the blind man He had healed when
He spat upon His eyes, how the man had not seen clearly at first, but had seen the people as trees. He reminded me
that He had to touch the man's eyes twice for his full vision to be restored. The Lord was showing me there were many in
this field who held positions of leadership, and that their vision had become clouded. These were the leaders who had
fallen prey to the enemy by way of control and manipulation. I knew it was the Lord's desire that He might touch their
eyes afresh and bring new sight.
HARVESTING LEAVES--BUT NO FRUIT
The next field was one where there seemed to be many demons dancing around in circles. I had to peer through the tall
trees to catch a glimpse of them. The bushes in this field did not have fruit, but they did have enormous amounts of
leaves. The workers were harvesting the leaves and pressing them into a wine. I could see the workers were drinking the
wine and it appeared to be very pleasant at first, but then there was a bitter aftertaste, which laid the workers upon the
ground, writhing in agony at what they had consumed. This was a place of bitterness. A place which reminded me of "the
fall", this was the place of counterfeit. At first glance the bushes in this field looked as though they were flourishing but
upon examination this was not so. The trees had appeared to be very tall and strong but I could see that the Lord was
sending an eagle to this place and the eagle, had within its beak a Branch. It was a fresh shoot and I knew that this
shoot would give shelter to many workers. I knew that this field represented the workers, who had been unfaithful to the
Lord, those who had broken his treaty, who had despised the Lord's oath. With the appearance of the eagle, the tall trees
in the field began to fall one by one and the Lord spoke "All the trees of the field will know that I the Lord will bring down
the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish".
In the field next to this there were workers who were chopping down tree after tree after tree and there were angels who
worked with them. And the Lord spoke "The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce
good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire". Of the workers gathered in this field, I could see that their hearts were
shining, they were utterly pure before the Lord, and they were doing a work of repentance for the other workers. Some of
them were being dispatched to the other fields to bring the message of the Lord "Bear fruit in keeping with repentance".
Some of them were received but others were turned away, but they persisted in trying to bring the message of
repentance to the other workers for they knew that time was short.
FIELDS ON FIRE---A PLACE OF MANY JUDGEMENTS

There were fields that were on fire and the workers in these fields had flames coming from their mouths. They were very
fearful, but seemed not to be able to stop shooting flames from their mouths. The Lord showed me this field had been
planted with weeds of gossip and malice. This was a place of many judgements upon fellow workers. He showed me that
by these fields were also fig-trees and that the fig-trees had withered and died. The Lord reminded me of the words He
spoke to James "Can a fig-tree bear olives or a grapevine bear figs, neither can a salt spring produce freshwater." And I
knew that we had returned to the field of the thornbush.
Still other fields had crops that were very sickly and weak. They looked thin, as did the workers in these fields. The trees
were so weak that they could not stand, their branches hung limp and were supported by trellis. I could see that the
roots of these trees were very shallow and that some were falling away from the main vine and withering and dying. The
workers in this field were passing out one by one. Blue and lifeless they lay on the ground. My heart was breaking, but
the Lord reminded me of His words that He was the true vine and that we were the branches and that we must remain in
Him for the Father's glory to be displayed by our bearing much fruit. He showed me that the field next to this one had
workers who were carefully pruning and plucking away dead leaves, dry branches etc. and that the yield from this field
was both bountiful and beautiful in His sight. He reminded me that He himself had been pruned by His father, and that we
must aspire to be like Him. I could see that a golden thread joined the workers in the field where the pruning was
happening. It did not impede their work in any way, but it joined them as one. I knew that they were enjoying unity and
fellowship as did the Father, Son and the Spirit.
GOD'S WORKERS JOINED TOGETHER
I could see now that in all the fields where the Lord was working the workers were joined with the golden thread. I could
see in one field that there were young plants and seedlings that were being tended. Then I could see that these young
plants were being transplanted by the workers of the next field, into their field (where the ground was ploughed and
fertile). I was perplexed and asked the Lord why this was so. He said "Child, in the days when John the Baptist preached
many would not repent and follow the Way and believe in Me, therefore I gave the right to tax collectors and prostitutes to
come. I took from those who were in unbelief and gave My kingdom to those that believed and gave to them the right to
produce much fruit. That is why you see some workers who seem to benefit from another's work. It is through unbelief
that much fruit is lost." I could see that some of the workers were falling on to stones and were lifted from that place by
the Lord, whilst others experienced rocks falling upon them and they were crushed and I knew that this was a deep
Biblical truth.
In some fields I could see demons with sickles and they were harvesting the Lord's crops. The crops seemed to be
healthy enough, but still I sensed this was not the right time to harvest and I wondered why the demons were allowed
access to this field. The Spirit showed me that this was a place of striving, and the striving had caused these workers to
become very proud, to become very singular in their thinking. I noticed that the workers here all worked alone and there
was no thread to join them. They were not prepared to work together with the others. I looked at the workers in this field
and they looked so tired. Their faces were anxious and they were heavy with weariness, there were yokes upon their
necks that the Lord had not placed there. They had not taken the rest the Lord had promised to them.
ASK FOR MERCY AND I WILL RELEASE YOUR BROTHERS
I looked to the Lord and I asked Him for mercy. He smiled and said, "If you will call out for your brothers and ask for
mercy I will release them". And so I knelt to my knees and I prayed with all my heart for my brothers and sisters who
were striving, that they might be set free. I could hear a trumpet sounding and the sound of a rushing river. I looked up
and could see a huge bowl, it was a bowl representing the prayers of the saints and the sound of the rushing river was
the cup of Mercy being poured upon the workers of this field. All were drenched in the refreshing sent from Heaven.
With great joy I looked on and I saw that some were throwing off the yokes around their necks and were dancing with
equal joy. I looked and could see that some still could not stop working and there appeared around their neck a double
yoke and they became grey and worn looking. But for those who had felt the Lord's refreshing they were carried by
angels to another field, where they were allowed to rest, to place their heads upon pillows and to sleep until the tiredness
had gone. For it was a tiredness of the world and not of labour in the Lord. When they awakened they were sent off to the
Lord's fields to rejoin the harvest workers.
DEMONS HAVE THEIR OWN NETS TO CAST
In another field, there were demons casting nets upon the workers. The workers were not alert or watchful, indeed they
were quite complacent and were resting in the sun. They were suddenly caught up in the nets and were carried out and
dumped far away from the harvest fields. I cried to the Lord on their behalf and He turned my face far into the place where
they had been dispatched. I could see that these people too were receiving the Lord's mercy and they were turning back
to the harvest fields.
They had a long way to come back, but they set their hearts on coming back to be used by the Lord. I had noticed that
the workers of this field had been wearing very fine clothes when they had been caught in the snare of the enemy. They
were now wearing shabby rags, but this I knew was symbolic of the place of humility that they had attained in their
hearts and it was a profound blessing to them. They had seen only before with their eyes, now they saw with the eyes of
the Lord's heart, the Lord's compassion was flowing through them. They moved as one people. If one stumbled on the
road back to the harvest field, they gathered round and picked him up, dusted him off, embraced and moved on together.
They ate together, drank together, prayed and praised together. They were new beings in the love of the Lord. They had
comprehended what it was to be an exile and they were returning to the land of their firstfruits with hearts full of joy.
THE LORD'S MERCY STILL FREELY AVAILABLE
The Lord showed me that all those workers He had shown as we surveyed the fields, all those who had turned from Him,
that His mercy was still freely available for those who would seek His face and turn back to Him and I blessed His holy
name and thanked Him for His mercy.
I saw there were fields, which were full of angels and workers who had harps and stringed instruments. These fields were
sending hope to those workers who had become tired. The music was sweet and wonderful to the ear. It reached to the
highest heaven, indeed I could see angels go up and down from these fields. There was open heaven as they worshipped
and the Lord was pouring out His blessing, for I saw that this was the place where the workers from all over the harvest
fields were bringing the firstfruits of their crops. And the Lord rejoiced in their obedience in the bringing of the firstfruits of
their soil to His house. Many of the workers who had once been caught in the net and were now returning from exile
joined those with harps and a great and mighty wave of worship went up and flowed over the fields. Lifting everyone to a
place of deep rapture in the Lord.
THE FIELD OF OFFENSE
In another field the Lord showed me it was very water logged and there were rats all around. The workers in this field were
very fat. I knew that they had become obese in a type of spiritual gluttony and that they were saturated in all the rights of
'self'. This was a field of offense, where 'self' was glorified and I felt sickened. The Lord was quick to show me that I had
been guilty in the past of taking offence or putting self first, and I repented wholeheartedly and thanked Him for his grace,
thanked Him for showing me My sinful nature and we moved quickly on from this place. I had no desire to linger lest I fall,
for this was a place where the water seemed to seep from the field and I looked down I could see that the soil on which I
stood was becoming damp from the leakage from the field. The waters of this field seemed to extend from the boundaries
of the field, and I felt that this was significant. In our work as harvesters we must be ever watchful not to fall back on the
rights of 'self'.
We moved on to fields that were scorched, where the people were parched. Their lips were dry and the ground cracked.
There was no presence of the Spirit of God and that was why they were so dry. I asked the Lord why could He not send
His spirit and He showed me that the Spirit was over these people that the Spirit was waiting patiently but that they were
unable to acknowledge His presence. They did not move in the trinity and somehow I knew that many of the people here
represented cults and other religions. This was a place where there had been much lust and sexual sin, but the Lord was
watering the Valley of Acacia and He was bringing with it purity. Those who heard the call, drank deeply from the Life-
giving well, then left this field to join the harvest for the Lord.
JEWS WHO ARE YET TO KNOW THEIR MESSIAH
In the field next to this was a similar sight, with dry land and parched workers and I knew that these workers represented
the Jewish believers who did not yet know their Messiah and I knew that the Lord desired to tear the veils from their
faces. I knew that these Jewish brothers and sisters had been made blind that we might receive salvation. I knew that
this was only for a time and that the Lord would call His firstborn son back into His embrace. And I felt such a sorrow in
my spirit that they were held in such a place of thirst, yet they were unable to call out to the Living Lord.
KNOWLEDGE BUT NOT YET REVELATION
I knew this was a place of knowledge but not yet one of revelation. I picked up an olive branch and I planted it in the field.
I asked the Lord to accept this as a sign of His covenant, and I blessed the Lord with all that was within me. I asked Him
if He could open their eyes for I knew His desire was that none should perish and all would come to repentance. He said
"Child, if you will pray I will answer", and the Lord handed me a key and I knew that when the Jewish brothers and sisters
became believers that this would be a key to the harvest. And so I prayed, joining with many who were returning from
exile, (many who were the remnant) and we lifted our voices as one and the veil was torn away from the faces of those
who were searching, Jew and non- Jew. Instantly a fountain sprang up in the middle of this field, and I knew it was a
fountain flowing from the Lord's house. And again, those who heard the call, drank deeply from the Life-giving well, then
left this field to join the harvest for the Lord.
BUT WHERE ARE THE INTERCESSORS?
I asked the Lord where were the intercessors, expecting they might be in a separate field. But the Lord told me to open
my eyes and I saw how foolish I had been. For the intercessors were in every field of the Lord. He showed me that all the
workers and not just some of the workers were interceding and He handed me another key and I knew that the fullness of
the harvest would only come when all of the Lord's people began to pray and intercede as they worked.
HUNGRY FOR RECOGNITION
In another field we came upon I could see the workers were harvesting, but were eating most of the fruit themselves. The
Lord showed me these workers did not labour for Him, but were seeking rewards for themselves. I could see on the trees
were the words "recognition" and "ego" and "self-righteousness" and the workers were eating these and becoming puffed
up. There was some fruit that was well worth harvesting, but the Lord showed me that these workers would first have to
repent of idolatry and humble themselves before Him, before the good fruit could be harvested.
I knew that this vine had been established in the enemy's territory, without claiming the land for the Lord. I knew that the
workers needed to offensively take this land, placing the seal of the Lord upon it and then defensively maintain the land
from attack by the enemy. I could see the birds of the air overhead and they were hovering. It seemed that they were still
very unsure as to how to treat these workers. The birds could not fly into the field because as I looked again at the
bushes, I could see that some of the fruit was shining and had the word "authority" written on it. This was the Lord's
authority and the birds could not enter this place. I noticed that as the Spirit of God's grace came upon some of the
workers, they immediately became convicted and repented. Once in the place of humility, they were upon their knees
(and this is where the fruit of the Lord's authority was - at the very lowest point of the tree. It could only be found and
eaten when the workers were upon their knees). Once eaten these workers rose up in the Lord's authority and were able
to ward of the birds of the air. This then allowed other workers to fall into humility.
GOD'S COVENANT WITH HIS PEOPLE
As I surveyed the land, I could see that in the fields where the Lord was present there was a rainbow over each and I
knew that this was the sign of God's covenant with His people. The Lord reminded me that we are His fellow workers,
that we are God's field, His building. I could see that where there were rainbows, there were also fig-trees and those who
were tending the fig- trees were eating its fruit, and they were receiving honour from the Lord. I could also see that in
those places where there was no rainbow, that the fig- trees had withered and died and I knew that this had been caused
by a lack of faith in the hearts of the workers.
THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
I could see on the branches of the trees of the fields where the fruit was that they bore the words 'peace', and 'hope', 'love'
and 'joy', 'mercy' and 'grace', 'faith', 'wisdom', 'humility', 'truth', 'justice' and 'unity'. Still others bore 'patience', 'kindness',
'goodness', 'faithfulness', 'self- control'. On still others 'prophecy', 'miracles', 'knowledge', 'healing', 'faith', 'tongues',
'interpretation' and 'discernment'. I could see that this was the harvest of the Lord, these things were of Him. I could see
that people from every creed, every race, every kindred were gathered in this place, each joined to the other with the gold
thread of unity. As each of the workers opened their mouth a fountain of water sprang forth and they watered the vines
they attended, simultaneously water poured from Heaven and brought cleansing and refreshing upon the workers. I knew
that some of this rain was a refreshing brought about by the number of Jewish believers who had come to work in the
harvest.
THE LORD'S DEW--ISRAEL
I could see that on some of the berries was the Lord's dew and I knew that this represented Israel. In the fields where
there was dew upon the berries I could see that there was a double harvest for the Lord. Where Jewish believers worked
alongside gentile believers, there was an awesome harvest for the Lord. I looked closely at the vine in these fields and I
studied the roots of the trees. As I looked the Lord gently lifted the foliage away that I might see that the branches had
been grafted on to the main root. I could see where some of the branches had been broken off and where others had
been grafted on. I saw that the workers in this field were joined with a golden rope, much thicker than the golden thread I
had seen before, it seemed to be like an umbilical cord. There seemed to be no beginning or end to this cord. But as I
looked at the Lord I could see its beginning and I could see its end. In this field the golden rope went full circle, beginning
with the Lord and ending with the Lord. I looked down and I saw with delight that the cord went through me too and that I
was a part of the workers in this field. I smiled at the Lord and I held His hand.
THE WEDDING FEAST OF THE LAMB
We were instantly transported to another realm. I could see that we were at the Wedding Feast of the Lamb and it was a
wonderful sight to behold. There were the workers from the many fields we had surveyed. Most were dressed in wedding
clothes, but there were a few who were not. The Lord approached each of them and with great sorrow in His face told
them they were not dressed for a wedding, and they were taken from the feast of the Lamb, and we who were gathered
could hear the wailing and the gnashing of teeth but for a moment. For we were transported in joy and bliss beyond all
comprehension as we sat at the table, with our Master before us. We were here as the Bride at the Wedding Feast of the
Lamb and all of creation joined in celebration of the moment which eternity had waited for and the Lord was exalted to the
highest place and the praises of the angels and His people are still ringing in my ears as we danced and sang of His
glory.
Amen.

This Is The Day Of Visitation

THIS WORD TAKEN FROM: Trumpet Call WebSite
Behold, this is the day of visitation! Do you not recognize it? Indeed many will not, for the outward appearance does not
fit their expectation.
Consider the visitation of Messiah on the earth... Yes, He came with a display of power, however it was not the earthly
military power that many expected. Rather He came with a power much greater, the power of humility, the power of a
holy life. For He humbled Himself greatly, the Omnipotent laying His omnipotence aside and becoming a man, even
humbling Himself unto death undeserved. No greater power shall be found but that which is found in humility, for humility
says, "I can of mine own self do nothing". Herein lies the folly of man, for the natural man does not discern the power of
humility, but rather sees weakness in humility. But know that in your weakness, I can manifest My strength. When you
are strong, I will not show My strength, for I will share My glory with none. However when you are weak and humble, I will
clothe you with My glory wherein lies limitless power, for in My glory is the hiding place of My power.
Thus Messiah entered the world of men in humility, suffering the shame of being thought to be illegitimate, and departed
suffering the shame of crucifixion... and He is the brightness of God's glory, the express image of His person. If then this
was the low estate of Christ on earth, should you not seek the same humility? Is this not the essence of Christ being
formed in you, the hope of glory? For in as much as He humbled Himself the Father hath highly exalted Him. And so it is
in this day, for I am once again visiting My church and calling for repentance and humility, and for those who respond I
am visiting upon them a display of power they have not known before.
Many will miss this time of My visitation because of the offence of humility; the sin of pride having brought about a
spiritual blindness. For those who recognize this time of visitation, no greater time shall be named among them. For this
shall be a visitation of My glory and My power coming down and clothing those who have humbled themselves in
repentance. Indeed, many signs and wonders shall be wrought at the hands of those who are thought to be ordinary. I will
restore once again power and authority to those corporate bodies of believers that will seek humility and repentance. No
more shall you be called barren, no more shall the heathen mock "where is your God?".
For wherever I find repentance and humility I will pour out My glory. Yes, even in places and upon people and in ways
some will think unfit. Know that I am not limited by the expectations and concepts of man, for I come as Captain of the
Host! Prepare for the day of My glory, the day of My manifest power among and upon men. You must prepare, lest the
darkness that is coming overtake you unawares. For truth is found in repentance and humility; deception and darkness is
found in spiritual pride and thus one is overtaken unawares.
Prepare ye the way, make straight the crookedness, for the glorious visitation of thy God is coming upon thee! Yes, this
is the day of My visitation... recognize it and walk worthy of it. For there shall be those who recognize the day, but still
do not follow repentance and humility for their hearts are hardened through sin. Know that those who do not walk worthy
will not share in the prize, for My glory shall not rest on that which is unholy. Recognize the day, and walk in the
holiness that I shall work within you which is "Christ in you, the hope of glory".

Vision for the Nations

Sonja Corazza
Thanksgiving Day 1995

I woke up at 4 a.m. having a dream of our woodsplitter ripping through pieces of wood and the terrible sound of the
wood being torn in pieces. As I woke up the tearing sounds continued and a vision of murder taking place in the
streets of America began to appear; after that came a picture of the natural catastrophes that had been hitting our
nation. Then this word came forth:
"The nations of the world are going to come under tremendous pressure. They will have to decide who they will
serve...righteousness or unrighteousness. No man can stay the hand of God. This day whom will you serve? I came
in the whirlwind and you didn't turn to me, O Israel. I came in the tempest and you didn't turn to me. Choose this
day whom you will serve! The nations are going to be ripped apart who wage unrighteousness. If you had but
chosen me peace like a river would have flowed over you...if you had turned back to me."
Then faintly I heard two words, " Torn asunder."
This was a frightening vision and I was trembling. The Lord told me to pray and repent for America, and to warn the
nations. Thanksgiving has never been quite the same for me as I realized that it is the holiday that celebrates the
founding of America. The word says that no man can stay the hand of God yet He is asking us to pray and to warn
the nations, so for those of His people who would respond I believe it is a great responsibility to do both of those
things. It is a call to intercession and evangelism.
This is one of several national words I have received but the first one that the Lord has told me to release. My hope
is that as Thanksgiving approaches it will remind us to pray for our nation.

Visions For Israel

Nita Johnson

I was in prayer for Israel when I was given a series of visions that I would like to share with you.
First, I saw the Star of David with the Lamb lying in the middle of it. Then in the next vision, I saw a ring
of glory come down and hover as it was over the city. It was hovering over the city, but the city
represented Israel as a whole. In the next vision, I saw a cross as white and as brilliant as it could be,
descend down from heaven to hover over the nation. Rays of glory began to flow down from it into the
city, (nation). Then I saw the fires of judgment begin to burn through the nations of the world.
This time I will leave you to seek the interpretation.
This one thing I will say however, God is not finished with our beloved Israel. His great workings, which
He is about to stir up concerning that nation, will surprise everyone.
Shalom,
Nita

Visions of the Church

Nita Johnson with Gary Grubbs
You are the Light of the World

Gary Grubbs
As you read the following visions you will see what the Lord revealed to me one evening while I was sitting in the
sanctuary of a church. There isn't a day that goes by that I still do not see the vision and feet the awesome burden He
has given me for His Church.
While I was sitting in the pew I looked up and saw the roof of the church open. I saw the night sky, so black and so full of
stars. As I gazed into the sky, I watched a tongue of fire descend from above the heavens and settle upon the church.
Then I saw as if from outside of the building, the church, sitting upon a hill. The ground began to tremble as though an
earthquake was taking place. The hill grew into a tall mountain with the church atop it. Looking down from atop the
mountain, I could see the lights of the cities all around the base of the mountain. The church, with the tongue of fire
shining so brightly above it, was a lighthouse to all.
A short time later, the Lord gave me another vision. This vision was concerning the people of the Church.
As I turned and looked at the people inside the church, I didn't see them as they are in the flesh. Each person was made
of crystal. The roof of the church was still open and the tongue of fire was still above the church building. To my
amazement, I watched as the tongue of fire descended into the church building.
The fiery tongue then divided into many smaller tongues of fire and dispersed to rest upon each crystal vessel. Each
tongue then entered into each vessel, making them look like crystal lanterns. The light from within each one radiated out
and filled the church building with such light, as I have never seen. It was glorious!
Next, the people stood up and formed two single file lines down the center isle of the church. The outside door of the
sanctuary swung open and the people began to file out single file; they completely encircled the church building. Looking
back at the church from atop the mountain, I could see all the lights of the cities around the base of the mountain. Then
in unison, all the people started to move, proceeding down all sides of the mountain. I then watched God's vessels go
into the cities taking the light of His Word to pierce the darkness below.
Following these two visions, the Lord placed into my heart the Scripture: You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill
cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light
to everyone in the house . In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they might see your good deeds and
praise your Father in heaven. -Matt. 5:14-16

The Army of God

Nita Johnson
I was standing at a pulpit singing with the congregation a song about the army of God. Suddenly I saw a vision. As the
scene opened, dusk was swiftly being overcome by the darkness of night. It was the army of God coming up over the hill.
The army was fully clothed in light. This light was the armor of God. For this reason, the army shined with splendor and
radiance from the glory of the Lord that covered each member. This glory was not just something that covered them
however, it was a glory that shone from deep within their innermost being.
By the time this army reached the top of the hill, it was extremely dark outside. However, because of the brilliance of the
glory that shined from this great military force, it looked as though the Sun was dawning over the horizon in early morn.
The sound of their footsteps echoed into the night with such thunder that the army dressed in black at the bottom of the
hill turned and looking at this vast host, gasped in horror at the sight of their converging enemy. It was truly a beautiful
sight to. see.
(Romans 13:12, Ephesians 6)

Ezekiel’s Army
Nita Johnson
The preceding visions are pictures of what Ezekiel’s Army is going to look like when the Spirit of the Lord brings it to life.
This army is going to be holy and anointed with great power and authority. It will go forth wreaking vengeance against the
enemies of the Lord. Further, they will bring the body into its inheritance and enter into eternal life with a great harvest of
souls. I am sharing all this with you for a reason. I am now going to share what the Lord gave to me on November 30th
about Ezekiel's Army and the reason for their great victories.
In the first vision, I saw Ezekiel s Army, whose leaders were baptized into a sea of martyrdom, of which so many being
thus consecrated gave their lives unto. Over this great scene, I saw the words "Ezekiel's Army." All the leaders and
many others down through the ranks were washed in the sea of martyrs as this sea rolled down from heaven upon the
church. This baptism was readily received even desired by those to whom it was assigned, for it carried in its bosom the
power of revival. So, the believer became filled with faith, power to perform signs and wonders and authority over all the
works of the devil. (Ezekiel 37:14)
I personally felt this baptism from the sea of martyrs come upon me as a great wave while watching the vision. It was a
wave so great it could only be likened to a tidal wave. As it came over me, I desired it and found a completeness in it I
had never before known. As I became submerged in this great sea in which so many others were submerged, I was filled
with light, faith, authority and power to fulfill the great commission. This anointing was unlike anything ever before given to
man. I came through this baptism filled with victory and grace. It would not be time for me to give my life as a martyr for
Christ for a season yet to come, but until then, what a wonderful work had been accomplished through this lowly
baptism.
Then saw a second scene or vision. I saw persecution break out against the church in North America. Just prior to any
family experiencing a loss through this warfare, I would see a cross that was made of the blood of Christ appear upon
their home. The cross was sent from heaven as a sign that the grace of God would be with this family, as they would
become a living sacrifice unto His glory. The day I would see a cross of blood appear over a given home, a family member
would be taken in martyrdom. Not-with-standing, God's comfort would remain with this family in rich and abundant
manner.
I noticed that the cities and those who would come into the cities to work were most greatly affected by the war against
the church. Satan was oppressing the church through government agencies, but God graced His precious ones with
great victory and a good and marvelous work, which continued to be wrought by the hands of those who were anointed to
carry the revival forward. (Matt. 10) (From what I was shown, the safety zone began about 20-25 miles outside the city
limits.)
Finally, I will share with you one other vision which I was graced to see in the final night Of Our recent services in
Colorado.
I saw hundreds of Christians as they were walking along side by side. They were walking down a paved walk. It looked as
though it had been paved with marble, and the scene itself looked as though it were taking place in Rome. These
Christians were walking toward the huge coliseum or amphitheater where they were going to give their lives for Christ as
martyrs of His glory.
I looked closely at their faces which shined brighter than the sun Their faces looked like the faces of angels, each and
every one. Then the Lord let me see into their hearts Their hearts were filled with victory. I could hear their thoughts and
know their victorious thinking as they moved ever closer to the coliseum. Their thoughts were; "The devil and the world
now think they have won, but now as we give our very lives as martyrs for the glory of our Lord and Savior, we not they
have won the greatest of all victories, for we have overcome, the world! " (NJ)
And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for
they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death. [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their
witnessing] Rev. 12:1 1
The day is drawing near when the breath of the Lord is going to blow over His Church and will bring forth Ezekiel's Army.
In their coming forth they will walk in a baptism of martyrs grace, which will for this season also bear within its' bosom
great power and authority, as I have already attempted to share with you.
The time that is quickly approaching is not to be feared, but to be embraced. Why? You can embrace it for a few
reasons. The first is that the Church will be greatly purified through this time. This ultimately means greater treasures in
heaven and more fruit for the kingdom here. This will bring great glory to Jesus.
Secondly, people will come to the Lord through the death of a martyr as would never enter into the Kingdom any other
way. Third, because every drop of blood that spills from a martyr's veins paves the way for a soul to enter into the
kingdom. I am not saying that their blood can pay for a Soul like the blood of Christ. However the martyr's blood provides
a Peculiar intercession for a lost soul as nothing else does. Fourth, because through a unique time such as this, the
Church is allowed to enter into the sufferings of Christ, which, by far is the greatest of all privileges. It is a privilege, which
in turn paves the way for greater glory in the Kingdom or Heaven.
My encouragement to you my dear friends, in light of what I have shared is this. Spend time in prayer and in Study Of
Our Lord's Word. Come to know Him and the inexpressible beauty of His holiness until at last You are being more
perfectly transformed into His glorious image. By this means you will be more than ready for the days ahead. Second,
begin now to trust Him in the big and small issues of life. It will make trusting Jesus later a great deal easier. Finally,
draw your family close and get close to the saints. All of these things will become a staff and stay of your life in the
kingdom of God on earth while we walk through troublous times.
Your Friend,
Nita Johnson
ODE TO THE MARTYRS

We recently experienced a tragedy in America. Three teenagers were slain - gunned down by a schoolmate following a
Bible study which was held prior to the opening of school. As I was praying over this, the Lord impressed upon me that
these young people died as martyrs and will be honored as such in the kingdom. For, it was because of their faith that
the gunman took their lives. This ode will also be for those who will live as what the Lord calls living martyrs for the cause
of Christ. For, we want also to share our love and care toward those who were critically injured leaving them crippled for
life. Their suffering will be a direct result of the bullets that riddled their bodies. They are a statement to America of the
love they found in Christ; a love that is worth suffering for. Before we share this ode of love and gratitude, we want also to
say that at this time, over forty people have been so far saved as a direct result of these deaths. Further, a hundred
similar Bible studies have been started around the country and approximately one hundred more young people have
joined the Bible study that was invaded that fateful day by a gunman. The truths I shared with you in this issue are being
displayed and God is indeed being glorified before our eyes.
Ode To The Martyrs

It was love that spoke that fateful day
When you gave your lives to say
Jesus gives love worth dying for
A love through grace did implore
Come all, and thirst, no more.
The song lives on through your

blood that fell
To be mixed with our Lord's as a fragrant smell
An incense, rich in love
From life to life to those who love
The precious Dove sent from above.
Now, may we your comrades, worthy be

Of your loyalty to the cause of our King
In living, if need be in dying too
To honor our Lord, as today you do.
Now, be blessed with the crown that awaits you.

Valley Of The Shadow

Bob Neumann
THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW
Like so often before I was in quiet prayer and meditation when suddenly I stood in "the Valley of Vision". Just ahead of
me sat MY LORD on an escarpment of rock. In the few steps it took to walk to HIS SIDE the whole vista around us took
shape and form. Seldom have I seen HIM sitting so casually looking out to the distance. Once again HE was in traveling
attire, and underneath the robes where the ARMOR of THE KING OF GLORY, THE LORD OF HOSTS. I was dressed in
dark work clothes, sweaty and covered with dust.
HE was looking out before us at an immense expanse of land. And as I sat to HIS left HE asked. "DO YOU KNOW
WHAT IS BEFORE YOU?".
Where we were sitting was like a great mountaintop looking down at the hills and valleys below it. The center of this
landscape was a winding valley that went back and forth till it crossed the whole vista to a far, far point opposite to us
which I could not see, but knew was there. Often in intercession and warfare I have been in this valley. The Valley the
Shepherd/King of Israel sang about called the Valley of the SHADOW. The Valley I have known in my spirit that I would
cross since I first bowed my knee to my LORD.
So I had to ask; "is it my time LORD?". And with that gentle laughter in HIS EYES HE turned to me and said, "SORT
OF". And I found myself laughing out loud. For so long in my mind I 'had figured things out' and as all my vain
imaginations came crashing to the ground a strange exhilaration filled my entire being. With a simple gesture HE
extended HIS ARM to that point at the terminus of the VALLEY OF THE SHADOW, and in my spirit I again saw ZION.
THE CITY on THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD. The place where my ABBA'S HOUSE is, the place my heart yearns to
be.
"YES", MY MASTER stated, "IT IS YOUR TIME OLD FRIEND, BUT I HAVE ONE FAVOR TO ASK YOU." ''MASTER,
what ever you want of me I will do.", was my quick reply.
"I KNOW, BUT BECAUSE I CALL YOU FRIEND, YOU MUST KNOW MY PLANS.'' All I could do was nod my head and
HE CONTINUED. " WHEN YOU PASS THROUGH THE VALLEY YOU WILL TAKE ALL MY SHEEP WITH YOU.''
And I felt a sudden 'emotion' begin to well up inside me. A mixture of dread and jubilation hard to explain. And I looked
into the valley and remembered all the big uglies of past encounters. And I thought of all the studies about the Armies of
GOD HIS MOST HOLY SPIRIT had lead me through these past months.
"YESHUA, MY LORD?", I had to ask. ''How far off did I get?''.
"SHEMUEL", HE WHISPERED as HE leaned toward me. "NONE OF MY PROPHETS SAW WHAT WILL NOW TAKE
PLACE ANY MORE CLEARLY THAN YOU.'' and as HE moved away from me we both laughed for I knew how so wrong I
was on so many things. And I immediately remembered the image of Balaam's mule and the idea that any old donkey
will do. And HE JUST LAUGHED.
As we sat and looked at the dread grayness of the valley before us I saw the 'cities' and strongholds on the hills that
lined the valley. The place where the ten witnesses saw the Nephelim...the GIANTS in the land. After a few more
moments HE stood and declared: "IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO SEE''.
And suddenly the vista changed and instead of an open countryside we were above cities and farms. Some of the cities
were huge. And all looked as if they had been bombed from numerous air assaults. In the great cities the skeletal
remains of what could have been skyscrapers stood up above the debris and rubble. Like the valley, the dread grayness
covered a most barren land.
"THIS IS THE FUTURE OF AMERICA AND THE WORLD.'', HE began. "OF COURSE YOUR BROTHERS IN THE
LANDS DISTANT FROM YOU HAVE MUCH LESS TO LOOSE THAN THE LAODICEANS BECAUSE THEY CHOSE ME
OVER THEIR LUXURIES. BUT ALL WILL FEEL THE BIRTHPANGS. ALL THAT WAS BUILT UPON THE SAND WILL
NOW FALL. BUT TOO MANY TEMPLES HAVE STANDING IN THEM THE ABOMINAL THING THAT MAKES THEM
DESOLATE. THESE TEMPLES MUST BE PURGED, BUT NOT ALL WILL, SHEMUEL. SO YOU MUST TAKE MY
SHEEP THROUGH THE FLOOD AND THE FIRE TO GOSHEN WHERE MY SHADOW WILL COVER THEM.''
It was hard to digest these WORDS and HE knew it as HE turned to me.
"Master'', I thought you said we were going to ZION?'' ''MY FRIEND, ZION IS WHEREVER I AM.'' as HE WHISPERED
those words HIS GLORY seared through me and I fell to the ground trembling. It seemed like eternity passed me till I felt
two hands lift me to my feet and strength and peace fell on and through me as I felt HIS gentle KISS on my cheek. "THE
SHEEP COME FIRST" was all I heard as the vista changed.
THE SHEEP
Suddenly we were standing in a place of twilight like a deserted 4-lane highway. Once again HE was ROBED AND
HOODED and now I was in a simple military style dark colored uniform. As we walked quickly we passed huge numbers
of children and scattered adult sized people. Even the smallest baby was dressed in the same uniform I wore. And
suddenly I sensed ABBA'S PRESENCE as I realized MY CAPTAIN was not noticeable. I have to use that terminology
because HE still walked with me but no one noticed HIS PRESENCE. So I asked ABBA, "is this YOUR ARMY?''. "
YES, SON'', HE replied. "I WANT YOU TO TAKE MY CHILDREN HOME."
One of the strangest things was the 'quiet' and the stillness of all this. There was no wasted noise or movement. It was
like everyone knew where they were supposed to be and what they were supposed to do. I came to a point where a very
large group stood waiting. In this group I recognized many faces, all much younger than in the present world. There were
a few couples I recognized. But most were lone women. Many of the 'praying' grandmas I know as ABBA now sees
them. As young women in their late teens/early twenties. I went to one couple and he had a full backpack and a rifle on
his back. He embraced his wife and started to move to the far side of the group to guard the side. She put her youngest
in the arms of the oldest and moved up the line to place an infant on her back and chest and a toddler holding to each
hand. So the few men went to guard. All the women to carry babies. But they were so few. It seemed we had so many
preteens carrying and leading toddlers. So many children.
And suddenly I was at the front of the column and MY CAPTAIN stood with me.
WALKING POINT
Around about us were 12-15 ''men''. Some were obviously male and some female but were in full battle dress. And I
realized that here were the ''named'' apostles/prophets over the South East US of A. I felt like I 'knew' most of them but
this was not the time for chit chat.
As the CAPTAIN spoke our instructions all seemed to take a spot and watched as THE CAPTAIN turned to me and
started to speak to me privately as HE slowly smeared chamo paint on my face and we turned and trotted off into the
darkness. The other pointmen followed and the whole army moved out quietly into the VALLEY.
As we pushed ahead I sensed the presence of ANGELIC WARRIORS as we came across demonic sentries posted on
the line of march. It was obvious that they knew where the army would eventually march, but it seemed to matter little for
MY CAPTAIN is the MASTER OF ALL WARFARE. And each demonic position was quickly neutralized as SWORD met
demon and THE WORD always is victorious.
Occasionally we came across snares and trip wires, mines and laser security. Many I could take out, but many I waited
for another 'pointman' to catch up and take it out as I tried to get farther ahead of the army.
And then we came to a point under a large hill and a great tower on the hill. The area was surrounded by ANGELIC
WARRIORS who had been waiting a long time for us. Here THE CAPTAIN stopped me and said: "THIS IS WHERE
YOUR BATTLE CHANGES.'' and as HE patted me on the back I went up the hill with a couple thousand Warring Angels
eager for battle.
The details are not necessary except for one point. When the tower fell a principality was dispatched. Only when the
demon's head rolled I found two forms at my feet. An intact human body and a decapitated demon shortly to enter the
abyss. And as I stood over this serpent seed THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT explained that I was looking at the completed
counterfeit. , a flesh and blood that gave everything it had to the enemy's cause. The terminology given at that time for all
who will want to quote "WE BATTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD..." is ''incidental collateral damage''.
ARRIVING AT GOSHEN
The vision was long and in some ways repetitive. But I and all the pointmen got a good instruction at the traps ahead of
us. Eventually we made it to the place of safety prepared, set aside for us. Here the pointmen spread out and began to
settle the children in; making place for those who would follow. ANGELIC WARRIORS stood on the walls and were
scattered though the city of refuge. And I felt like we had ''made it''. Of course it was at that time MY CAPTAIN came to
me and simply said, "LET'S GO!".
And suddenly we were flying high above the landscape and below us for endless miles stretched THE CHILDREN on THE
MARCH. The number was staggering. And I realized it would take as long as it took us to get to GOSHEN for them to
complete the journey. And suddenly I began to understand the ''FAVOR" MY CAPTAIN was asking. And suddenly we
were standing in mid air looking at the center of the darkness. At a city of literal abomination.
Once again eternity stopped as the KING OF GLORY willed it. "IT IS TIME TO COUNTERFEIT THE COUNTERFEIT,
OLD DOG. TOO LONG THE DECEIVER HAS PLAYED BY HIS RULES. I CAME TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE
ENEMY. THIS NOW TAKES PLACE ON A MOST PERSONAL MANNER. THEY WORRIED OF YOUR WOLFISH
NATURE IN THE PAST. WILL THEY NOTICE THE LION THAT WAS ALWAYS THERE BELOW THE SURFACE? ''I AM
RELEASING YOU AND ALL THE YOUNG LIONS TO FEED UPON THE ENEMY AND HIS SEED. TO DEVOUR THE
DEVOURER. TO BE AS SLY AS ANY SERPENT AND TO APPEAR AS MEEK AS YOUNG DOVES. THE MANNA
DOES NOT FALL IN GOSHEN. IT DOES NOT FALL IN CANAAN. YOU WILL BRING PROVISIONS TO GOSHEN FROM
THE PALACES AND STRONGHOLDS OF EGYPT. YOU WILL TAKE THE ABUNDANCE OF CANAAN FROM THE
GIANTS YOU SLAY AND THE CITIES YOU DESTROY.''
With that we looked down upon the city of abomination and HE POINTED at a palace.
THE ASSAULT
And without hesitation I simply fell. And landed in full black armor into the very throne room of hell for all I know. It was
fun. Being the proverbial 900 pound gorilla is quite an interesting image as one word came through my mind and one
word shouted from my mouth "RACHA" is the best I can spell it' "FOOL". Call it a wake up call to the prince of
AMERICA. I wasn't declaring THE WORD any more, I was swinging all six feet of it with sheer pleasure, but only the flat
of the SWORD. My purposes was to humiliate and to ''count coups'' if you understand the ancient American image. I
came to challenge and to get everyone's attention. I did quite well till that small gentle voice screamed at me I had better
leave. My verbal assault was partly scriptural and mostly that was psalms. But there were some colorful terms I had to
have picked up somewhere down the road, which I will not repeat now.
So as easily as I fell into the viper's pit I zoomed upward with legions in hot pursuit only to come face to face with THE
HOSTS OF HEAVEN. That was when things got interesting. All in all it was a costly blow to the enemy and a solid
diversion for the CHILDREN. Keeping the enemy confused and diverted in the days ahead will be our job.
STANDING GUARD OVER GOSHEN

As the last demon corkscrewed down into the valley of the shadow the HOSTS OF HEAVEN turned as one and flew. In
my spirit I sensed "north" but it was just discernment as much as a direction. And suddenly there was GOSHEN before
me. But I did not enter because the last of the army was not yet in. so I landed nicely in the rear area where stood MY
CAPTAIN with the ROD OF IRON in HIS RIGHT HAND. Quickly we came to that narrowing on the ROAD where only one
man can pass easily. And I signaled the men of the rear guard to move on with the children to GOSHEN. So I had
walked POINT and now I stand as the Rear Guard.
We stood quietly for awhile and MY CAPTAIN can stand quietly a very long time. So I asked, "LORD, when will the
enemy be coming.'' I had to figure that we were not waiting without reason. And the answer I got gave me much to
ponder.
"WHEN THE BEAST PREPARES TO RISE UP AND DEVOUR MY SHEEP AND ONLY FINDS GOATS HE WILL NOT
BE HAPPY'', and the SON LAUGHED as I began to hear Psalm 2 sung in my spirit. And I too had to laugh, for my
FRIEND THE KING is still a TEACHER/RABBI without equal. PELE YAW'ATS.
Psalm 2:1-12
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
"BECAUSE MY SHEEP ARE SAFELY IN THE SHEEPFOLD AND BEYOND THEIR GRASP''.
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and
against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
''BUT ALL THEIR PLANS AND EFFORTS WILL BE USELESS AGAINST ME AND MY ANOINTED.''
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
''WHAT GREATER PLEASURE CAN I HAVE THAT PLEASES MY FATHER MORE THAN HUMILIATING AND
DEFEATING THE ACCUSER''.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
''MY WRATH IS ABOUT TO BE POURED OUT BUT FIRST I WILL THUNDER AGAINST THOSE WHO REFUSED THEIR
INVITATIONS AND IGNORED MY FATHER'S LOVE''.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
''SOON, SHEMUEL. VERY SOON THEY WILL CRY OUT FOR THE ROCKS AND MOUNTAINS TO COVER AND HIDE
THEM FROM MY FATHER'S EYES AND MY WRATH. BUT THEY CAN NOT HIDE''.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for
thy possession.
''THIS IS HOW YOU WILL SHELTER, CLOTH, FEED MY SHEEP. TAKE FROM THEM ALL THAT MY DEAREST ONES
WILL NEED''.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
(And with these WORDS HE handed me the ROD of IRON and I began to tremble) "DID I NOT SAY I WOULD GIVE ALL
AUTHORITY TO THE SERVANTS TRIED AND PROVEN WHOM I CALL FRIEND. THERE ARE NO MORE MANTLES
AND OFFICES, POSITIONS AND TITLES IN MY KINGDOM EXCEPT FOR TWO. SERVANT AND STEWARD. THERE
IS NO GLORY OR ACCLAIM, ONLY RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY. TOO MANY WHO SPEAK MY NAME
WITHOUT SUBMITTING TO MY AUTHORITY ARE NOW BOUND FOR THE FIRE AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW IT. NOR
WILL THEY HEAR ANY FURTHER WARNINGS SO THERE WILL BE NONE.''
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
''THE GOATS HAVE NOT BEEN WISE, THEY WOULD NOT RECEIVE INSTRUCTION. SO WHAT IS LEFT?''
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed
are all they that put their trust in him. (KJV)
''THOSE THAT CHOSE TO SERVE ME WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. MANY WILL NOW COME FORWARD AND
CARE FOR THE LITTLEST AND THE LEAST. THEY HAVE PLACED THEIR TRUST IN ME AND I WILL NEVER
FORSAKE THEM. ONLY A LITTLE OF MY WRATH WOULD DESOLATE THE EARTH. SO I WILL ALLOW THE
PRINCES OF EGYPT AND BABYLON TO RISE UP AGAINST AN UNFAITHFUL CHURCH. MINE ARE KNOWN BY ME
EVEN IF THEY ARE STILL BOUND IN DARKNESS. I WILL SET THEM FREE IN MY OWN TIME AND IN MY OWN
WILL.''
And suddenly we were above GOSHEN and all the children were safely and literally under HIS SHADOW.
THE THRONE ROOM
Once again I stood at HIS side as we made our way to ABBA. And as THE SON sat at HIS RIGHT HAND ABBA looked
at me and smiled as I knelt before HIM. And the fragrance of HIS PRESENCE was sweet and gentle as HIS PEACE
flooded my spirit.
''SON, I PLACE MY LITTLEST ONES IN YOUR HANDS. AS TENDER AS YOU ARE WITH THE WEAKEST AND
SMALLEST, YOU MUST BE AS HARD AND RUTHLESS TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO HARM MY PRECIOUS ONES.
THIS IS NOT CRUEL IN ANY WAY. MY SPIRIT GUIDES YOU AND I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY HEART. YOU WILL
KNOW THOSE WHO ARE MINE AND THOSE THAT COME TO STEAL AND DESTROY. GIVE NO QUARTER AND
SHOW NO MERCY TO MY ENEMIES. ''
And suddenly I was back in the real world.... If you want to call it that.
And now it is written and let whoever has ears to hear and eyes to see judge for themselves.

Wait
Author Unknown
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;

Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate,
And the Master who gently said, "Child, you must wait."
"Wait You say wait!" my indignant reply.

"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith, I have asked, and am claiming your Word
"My future and all to which I can relate

hangs in the balance, and YOU tell me to WAIT?
I’m needing a ‘yes’ a go-ahead sign,
Or even a ‘no’ to which I can resign.
"And Lord, You promised that if we believe

we need but to ask, and we shall receive.
Lord, I’ve been asking and this is my cry;
I’m weary of asking! I need a reply!"
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate.

As my Master replied once again, "You must wait."
So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and tout
And grumbled to God, "So, I’m waiting. . . for what?"
He seemed, then to kneel and His eyes wept with mine,

And he tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.
"All you seek I could give and pleased you would be.
You would have what you want – but you wouldn’t know Me.
You’d not know the depth of My love for each saint;

You’d not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence were all you could see.
"You’d never experience that fullness of love

as the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove;
You’d know that I live and I save . . . (for a start),
But you’d not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
"The glow of My comfort late into the night.

The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that’s beyond getting just what you asked
Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.
"You’d never know, should your pain quickly flee,

What it means that ‘My grace is sufficient for Thee.’
Yes, your dreams for your loved one overnight would come true,
But, Oh the loss! If I lost what I’m doing to you!
"So be silent, my child, and in time you will see

that the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me
And though oft’ may My answers seem terribly late
My most precious answer of all is still, "WAIT"

Waiting On The Hill

Barry Bowers
To all who have an ear to hear: Rev 2:7, Rev 2:11, Rev 2:17, Rev 2:29, Rev 3:6, Rev 3:13, Rev 3;22
On Tuesday morning Nov. 17th at 5:00am, I was awakened by a dream that I feel was a message
from the Lord to the people of America. I feel that this message was especially sent for those of us
who would call ourselves middle class Americans. I am not one who has dreams that I can remember
often, maybe two or three per year at most. I feel this dream is significant and from the Lord for two
reasons.
#1) I have been (humbly) asking of the Lord, to send me dreams and prophetic visions so that I may
know the truth of his word, especially as it relates to my generation known as the "Baby Boomers". I
am 44 years old, so I fall somewhere at the tail end of this group. Many of us including President
Clinton, fall into this category today.
#2) The Lord gave me the ability immediately, to be able to interpret what it's meaning and message
were. Up to and including relative scripture.
Judge for yourselves if this message is from the Lord our not, you may know by the way it speaks to
your soul, you may know because of an immediate feeling of conviction that you may have. All
messages of this type must be approached with great discernment, as each one of us seek to know
the truth that will set us free. If it is the Lord's will, maybe you will be lead to offer some feedback or
related stories. May God's will be done.
"Waiting on the Hill" the dream
In my dream, I spent the whole day waiting for my son to come so we could attend a planned evening
event together. He was due to arrive at 1:00pm and it seemed like I spent the whole day waiting with
anticipation for him to come. In the mean time, a couple had come to my home to find work. and they
said that they would work seven days a week to make a living. This couple was given no faces, so I
could not tell you what they looked like other than to say that they had no particular expression on their
faces. Throughout my dream, they would continue to work diligently like robots it seemed, not
speaking only working. I looked at the clock and it showed 7:05pm. Where was my son I thought to
myself and I began to be worried. What bothered me the most, is that six hours had gone by and I
hadn't realized it. It went by so fast and now I was really concerned. I went to the front porch of my
home on the hill and I began to watch the road with anticipation. "Where was my son" Why hadn't he
called "Then I saw several cars coming together. They came up the hill and went by my home. Cars of
various colors and sizes at least three in all. Then soon after, I saw another set of cars. They came up
the hill and as they drew nearer I could see that they were all the same color "red, white and blue".
They hurried up the hill and rushed by my home. Then from out of nowhere, all of a sudden there were
construction vehicles lined up along side the road. Some light blue, others orange in color and I could
see some red ones as well. Then I could see another large vehicle coming up the hill, it was pulling
something behind it. As it made it's way up the hill I could see the front tires coming off the road. All of
a sudden, it was lifted straight up into the air and flipped over backwards in the field next to the road. It
was a tragic and bothersome sight. My wife yelled out, " we must help them!". Then I was surprised at
all the people that came from nowhere that rushed down the hill to help. I yelled to my wife "no see, we
don't need to go down and help, look at all the others who are there to help". But she insisted and she
rushed down anyway. Concerned for her safety, I followed down behind her reluctantly. By the time I
had gotten there, they had flipped the large truck back up on it's wheels in the field. The top of the truck
was exposed and the man trapped inside was so badly injured that they had placed a round cylinder
around him, so that all you could see where his hands. There were people at the door window praying
with him and all I could here the driver saying was "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" in a crying voice. He kept
wringing his hands together and one voice from my right yelled "he's not going to make it" That is
when I woke up with the sound of people crying on my mind.
The minute I woke up, the thoughts of this dream went through my mind and into my heart and I asked
myself what does this mean? I new in my heart that I must write it down. It is 5:15 am on the morning of
November 17th,1998 and as I write this letter I remember the news I saw last night about the asteroid
belt that may hit our atmosphere today. I am thinking about those of us who are working so hard to get
by in life, that we have lost track of what time it is. While we wait anxiously for something to happen
that will relieve us from our toil.
"Waiting on the Hill" the interpretation
I believe that this is the interpretation of this dream, sent from heaven. May the Holy Spirit within you
bare witness to the truth. My son represents the elusive riches of this world. We spend much time
anxiously waiting for it, but it seems to never come. Then, as we grow older, we look at the clock and
our surprised because time has gone by so fast. The lord lead me to this scripture.
Psalms 49:12-14 " But man despite his riches, does not endure, he is like the beasts that
parish. This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers who approve
of their sayings. Like sheep they are destined for the grave and death will feed upon
them"
The house on the hill, represents everyone's dream home in America. The couple who came to my
home, represent the middle class families in America who are having to work harder and harder for
less and less. The Lord lead me to this scripture: God's rebuke of Adam and Eve for having eaten the
forbidden fruit.
Genesis 3:17-19 " cursed is the ground because of you, through painful toil, you will eat of
it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you and you will eat the
plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the
ground , since from it you were taken, for dust you are and to the dust you will return."
The first set of cars that came, represent the generations that have gone before us, who have
sacrificed much so we could enjoy the freedoms we have today. These were generations of great
strife and diversity. The second set of cars that were red, white and blue, represent America today, all
filled up with itself and in a great hurry to go nowhere. The speed in which these vehicles went by,
represents the hurried pace of life that we now have. We are always in a hurry it seems, not knowing
for certain why. The construction vehicles represent the changes that are about to take place upon the
earth. The Lord lead me to this scripture:
Haggai 2:6-7 " This is what the Lord Almighty says:" In a little while I will once again
shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations and the
desired of all nations will come and I will fill this house with glory says the Lord Almighty."
The vehicle that flipped over, represents each of our lives, we are currently towing baggage behind us
that needs to be discarded. We are so consumed with events of the day and pursuing the house on
the hill, that we have lost track of why we are here and what our purpose for living is in the eyes of our
creator. The Lord is about to send events into our lives that will cause us to focus soley on him. The
man in the truck, represents the outcome of this shaking for some, and all of those circled around him
represent the saints who have been interceding in prayer on behalf of the lost. The Lord lead me to
this scripture:
Job 16:20,21 " My intercessor is my friend, as my eyes pour out tears to God, on behalf of
man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend."
What bothered me the most about this dream was the way I reacted to the couple who were in need of
work and to the tragedy of death that was unfolding before my very eyes. I was not compelled to go out
of my way to lend a hand until I could see that my wife was in danger. That is when I finally rushed
down off from the hill to help out. I feel that my attitude in all of this, represents many Christians in
America today. We are not compelled to take a stand based on our faith until someone we know and
love has been personally effected by it. Then we will rush down form our hills and help out, only to find
out that it was to little to late. The Lord lead me to this scripture:
Luke 10:40-42 " But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.
She came to Jesus and said: " Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do all the
work myself? Tell her to help. Martha, Martha the Lord answered, you are worried and
upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better
and it will not be taken from her."
In this message there is great encouragement for the lost and for those who have turned their backs
on Christ for a time. Although the truck driver represents all of those who have not none Jesus or
turned their backs on him, it also represents God's amazing grace. In his final hour with death near at
hand he called upon the name of Jesus and this was his reply:
Romans 10:13 " for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Does this mean that we continue to live our lives the way that we currently do? I will let each one of you
be the judge of that. I say not, for not everyone may get the same chance this truck driver got to call
upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Many will be taken from this world in an instant. We must
change our lives now, and answer the call of Christ. We must reach out to those God has placed in our
lives who are lost or distracted. We must continually encourage one another to " run the good race
and to keep the faith" For our time is ever shorter and the return of our Lord and savior is very near.
Special note: Keep an eye on Indonesia for what is happening there and about to happen, is
representative of what is about to take place throughout the world. Be forever in prayer and ask the
Lord to have mercy on our nation and our families.
Romans 11:22 " Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God. sternness to
those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise
you also will be cutoff."

Wait and Listen

Merle Fraser
A Word of the Lord The Lord had me open my bible, and when I opened it at the 145th psalm, He made me feel
secure in His promises to us, regardless of the problem or challenge.
"I am never early, nor am I ever late," says the Lord, "to tell My people what will happen in the beginning of a
catastrophe. But, you are here now for Me to reveal to you the key things you need to do and teach, in order to be
ready, regardless of the event or tragedy. I will give to you moment by moment, and day by day, the things that you
need as the problem arises. Just know for sure, that the most important single thing for you to do is continue to wait
on Me in high expectancy, and listen for My guidance and My instructions," says the Lord your God. "I cannot
overemphasize to you, my, son, just how important each of My Words will be for you and for others who I will send
to you. For like many, they will not know what to do, and they will be walking in fear! Love casts out fear, so stand
fast in My love, and share your love and concern as they come to you.
Your bread will be multiplied, your water flowing forth, and your words will provide healing, deliverance, and
restoration to many. Tell them, I care! I really care, and I will provide for all who come to Me in love, humility, and
grace. Teach them to hear my voice. Tell them, I am talking to them now, but they have never been taught. They
have never been fathered. They have been raised in Babylon and Egypt, and their ears are dull, and their eyes blind!
Even those who have been regenerated and born from above, have an overdose of Babylon and Egypt, and
doctrines of men and devils. In order to teach them, you will first have to unload out of their minds and hearts the
dross and error they have accumulated. So, you are right in your assumption that the saving of the soul is paramount
to their survival in the days ahead. Every horrible soul trait will manifest when they are faced with lack, famine, and
limitations, let alone the gross inconveniences they will suffer. Their spirit man must dominate and be in prominence,
if they are to hear Me clear and receive the guidance they will so desperately need from crisis to crisis.
Tell them, now is the time to prepare spiritually, as well as in practical! This will be a time of stewardship like they
have never known, for most of them have only been taught the stewardship of giving. My stewardship also means
how well you take care of and manage the blessing I give to you. For everything is Mine, and you are to cherish and
manage each gift. Even your physical body is a gift, and when you present it back to Me as your sacrifice or
reasonable worship, I don't want to see an inferior, out of shape body! Your physical strength will not only be
challenged, but tried and tested, to see how far and how long you can endure.
What would you do if you had no electricity, no gasoline, no automatic labor saving devices? How far could you
walk to get the water you need for the day? Don't laugh! For many of you will be forced to find out, or perish," says
the Lord. "And when you start storing things you will need: necessities, you will be storing up things to share with
others dull of hearing and stubborn of heart. Yes, but this will be a great time of harvest, my son! For every time you
share your food or vitals, I will anoint you to deal with their eternal salvation. For it is only by Me, through My Holy
Spirit, that people are touched and called out of darkness into My marvelous light! Just a word from My Word, and
a prayer which I will put in your heart for them, will fill them to the full and satisfy their every need. The bread will
bless them, but My bread will feed them eternally.
Will I multiply the things you accumulate or store? Yes! Even as you are called on to feed the hungry and desperate,
I will multiply it all, right before your eyes, my son. Their amazement will certify and comfort them that I am Jehovah
Jireh, their Provider. I will supply all your need according to my riches in Glory, by Christ Jesus. The Anointed One
and His anointing will be the glue that holds this whole thing together, my son.
How severe will it be, you ask? Far worse than any of you have ever experienced or been called upon to suffer! For
you are blessed, yes spoiled people. You have no idea what suffering is, even the most destitute of you. You do not
know nor can you now imagine what you will be called upon to do in order to survive and ultimately prosper. Will
there be those that prosper? Oh, Yes! My son. Those who are faithful; those who are committed; those who are
sold out to Me; those who are surrendered to Me; those who have learned to hear My voice, see into My
Heavenlies; and will obey Me in an instant! They will prosper. They will endure. They will overcome!
What should My people do now? Start! Make a beginning. Take a step. Take a step each day in preparation.
Prepare in the physical realm. Prepare in the spirit. You will not be disappointed, for I will more than match your
efforts and your prayers. After all, that is what I an all about: LIFE! You can't live successfully without Me. So,
move over and allow Me to be your Master! I know that I know, and you will too, as you trust Me and walk this
out by faith!
No fear, no panic, no anxiety! You must not walk in any fear, for some are afraid that if they prepare when the
crises comes, that evil people will come and kill them and take away what they have prepared and stored. This is
from the devil! It is a lie that will come true if you believe it. If you know My ways are all, you must know that I will
not allow this to happen to my obedient sons and daughters! Psalm 91 is your written guarantee of how I work for
those I love. When the evil ones show up, I will use the time and opportunity to save them, or take them out of the
picture! I know their hearts. Some will come to Me, others will be eliminated by their hardness of heart. So fear not,
but do not be ignorant of the crafts and devices of Satan. Be discreet, and do not be prideful or boasting. This will
cost you, not bless you.

Wake up America
Thurston McCutchen
I believe I'm supposed to share the following:
Today is February 15,1998 I live in West Texas and was desiring to move about 7-10 miles in the country and buy or
build a home. Then when I felt I had found a general area (on a creek) that would be pleasant to live, close to town, (San
Angelo, Texas) etc. then the Lord told me to move out of the city at least 20 miles and be out there by March. It did not
fit my plans. I knew however, it was the Lord. My wife had a dream that there were German soldiers speaking on a loud
speaker and we were all afraid and hiding. My sister who lives by Del Rio, Texas (150 miles South) had a dream recently
and dreamt that her and her daughter-in-law and grandchildren were being force marched like cattle by soldiers. She's
prayed much against that! Then, last night a friend from 20 years ago came and stayed with us from Big Spring, Texas
(90 mi. North) said she had a dream about ten years ago that loud speakers were blaring German music and everyone in
town was being forced to watch a German military parade down the main street (Greg) of Big Spring. She had not
thought of it until we were talking last night and she said she never had forgotten the sound of the soldier's boots and the
reality of the fear as we were totally under their submission. She awoke thinking she was so grateful that we never had
fought a world war on our soil.
About a yr ago, while skiing in Ruidoso N.M., I had a dream that asteroids or meteors were filling the sky. I ran to warn
and get my kids but they didn't seem to be worried and I felt they were staying with their mom (we divorced about 5 years
ago) I vividly remember the frantic concern. I believe God is warning His people. Will they listen? So many marriages,
families, finances, etc. are under severe attack and it appears to me that everything that can be shaken is being shaken
now (and has been for the last 3-4 years). I am prone to believe that the 40 jubilee’s from Adam to Abraham, the 40
jubilees from Abraham to Yeshua (Jesus), and the 40 Jubilees from Jesus' sacrifice to 1994 may have started the 7 year
plan of God in Daniels 70th week. If this is so, then March 1998 would be a great time to go to the country.
As it would appear to be starting the unveiling of the beast, the starting and stopping of the sacrifice, and the last 1335
days with God judging the gods of this world! (i.e. rivers, oceans, whales, trees, demons -let loose from the abyss- etc.) I
know of so many true and dedicated believers who have believed in pre-trib rapture that after careful study don't see
Jesus removing us from the world but protecting us from the evil one during the tribulation. I would rather be prepared
(spirit, soul and body- as best as possible- for the tribulation and surprised by the pre-trib rapture than prepared for pre-
trib rapture and surprised by the tribulation. The latter, I believe would certainly be a scenario that could cause a great
falling away of believers. The Lord has not told me that we will be attacked or as a country be the wretched, naked and
poor church of Laodicia, but I'm inclined to believe it based on our great idol...material wealth and plenty. Whether or not
we go thru tribulation (I believe the purifying of the bride will take a refiners fire) I know God will protect those who are
awake and alert! Remember Jesus' words "blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his garments on."
It is definitely time to draw near to God and purify our hearts- stop doublemindedness, etc!! Again, the Lord has not told
me NOW IS THE TIME...however, He sure seems to be making preparations for now, (March/April 1998) as the mid-point
or the start of the Great Tribulation! God bless you and your efforts! In Christ our coming King,

Wake Up Call
Jim Black & Paula Cavu
D&V List No.128
Date: Friday 8th May 1998
DREAM WITH A DRAMATIC WAKE UP CALL AND GREAT WARNING FOR GOD'S PEOPLE TO PREPARE THEIR
HEARTS IN ORDER TO ENTER INTO THE PROTECTION OF "NOAH'S ARK" OF THE END AT THE CHURCH AGE.
Dream by Jim Black on 3rd May 1998 and interpretation by Paula M. Cavu.
(Jer 16:19 NCV) LORD, you are my strength and my protection, my safe place in times of trouble. The nations will
come to you from all over the world and say, "Our ancestors had only false gods, useless idols that didn't help
them.
"I was watching armored tanks come up out of the sea. There many different types of tanks. I heard the sound of war in
the distance and knew a battle was going on. I was in a large Recreational Vehicle (RV) with my family. I asked Dad
where all the tanks had come from. He responded, that they were the tanks of every nation of the world."
Jim, I am going to interpret this dream in relation to what the Spirit has been saying to the churches in recent dreams
posted on the D&V List. This is akin to interpreting a passage of scripture in the context of the scriptures immediately
before it.
In this case, the war involving the nations of the world in your dream (armoured tanks come up out of the sea , tanks of
every nation of the world) can be related to part of the war described in Revelation chapter 19 (D&V List No.123). Your
dream seems to be saying that this war has begun but it coming close to you (I heard the sound of war in the distance)
Your Dad in this dream could represent the presence of God the Father.
Pss 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
The large Recreational Vehicle, which speaks of rest in God, could represent the special place of God's protection in the
time of this world war. This is "the secret place" of God's "refuge and fortress."
Pss 91:2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Later on in the dream we are given a little more detail concerning this special place of protection in God (Dad just moved
the RV a little and the Tank seemed to lose track of us and we continued to watch). That is, from this place of protection
the saints can see the war and the catastrophe that is happening in the world but they could not be touched by them.
Pss 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Pss 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield
and buckler.
Pss 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Pss 91:6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
Pss 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Pss 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Pss 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Pss 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
"I was watching the parade of tanks but at the same time I was preoccupied with raking and smoothing the dirt that was
in the RV. For some reason preparing the soil seemed to be important and I seemed to be taking a lot of pleasure at the
task of raking and smoothing. The dirt was deep enough to plant a garden."
Soil or ground from the parables of Jesus often refer to the hearts of people. Good ground is prepared carefully to receive
God's word, have understanding and to do the will of God. This is the condition of the hearts of God's people who will be
found in God's RV.
Matt 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which
also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
"I wondered why the tanks did not appear to notice us and at that point one of the gun turrets on one of the tanks turned
to point at us. Dad just moved the RV a little and the Tank seemed to lose track of us and we continued to watch.
When the last tank drove by us, Dad got in line behind it and followed it. I also heard the sound of a door slamming shut.
I heard this door slam shut three times each time it seemed louder and closer. "
Perhaps this passage of your dream is saying that as the whole world becomes involved in this war (When the last tank
drove by us, Dad got in line behind it and followed it) the door into God's secret place of refuge and fortress will be shut.
The fact that the door was slammed shut 3 times and each time it was louder and closer is declaring that THIS IS A
WAKE UP CALL AND A WARNING for all who have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches!
The D&V List has been referring to this refuge and fortress of God as the end of the Church Age "Noah's Ark." As it was
in the days of Noah, GOD WILL SHUT THE DOOR to the Ark (Gen 7:16) in the time of God's judgment/wrath upon the
nations of the world.
"I have no idea of where we were. I never saw Dad or anyone else, I just knew they were there. I was a little afraid of the
battle, but knew I was safe and secure."
This is witnessing to the scriptural "shadow of the Almighty."
I heard it raining and I heard the rumble of thunder even though the sky was clear. I thought at first it must have rained
last night for real but apparently it was part of the dream. This is where I woke up."
The rain and the rumble of thunder though the sky was clear is again declaring to the churches to WAKE UP AND HEED
THIS WARNING!

Walk in Holiness
Betty Hamalainen
Thus says the Lord: Stand by the roads and look and ask for the eternal paths, where the good old way is,
then walk in it, you will find rest for your souls, But they said, We will not listen or obey. We will not walk in
it. [Jeremiah 6:16] Also I set watchmen over you saying, Hear and obey the sound of the trumpet! But they
said, We will not listen or obey. [Jeremiah 6:17]
When the watchman stands at his post watching day in and day out and then sees something coming and he is to warn
the people of God about what is to take place, he is to blow the trumpet loud and clear, and say all that the Spirit of the
Lord puts within his heart, and he does not hold back because the people won't listen, he speaks and then turns and
goes the way the Lord wants him to go, and not see whether they accept it or not. What happens a lot of times, the
watchmen will see something coming a long distance off, and begin to warn the people, and the people will always look
with their natural eyes to see what is happening, and say why are you telling us this, We don't need to listen to what you
have to say. Look how good we have it. We don't need your doomsday word when everything is going good. We are not
going to listen or obey, we will go on our own way, who are you to tell us that we are going to experience troubles? If the
Lord has anything to say we will hear from him for ourselves. Who appointed you to be a watchman over us.
This is what Israel had to say and when the time came that the watchman told them about, they were not ready.
Jesus Christ has warned in Matthew 24, When the disciples of Jesus Christ asked him what was the sign of his coming.
The very first thing that he said was, Be careful that no one misleads you, [deceiving you and leading you into error] Many
will come in My name, saying I am the Christ and they will lead many astray.
Then he went on to tell them the things that were going to come, and there will be wars and rumor of wars, see that you
are not frightened, don't let your heart get caught up in terror, you see these things have to take place. there will be
famine and earthquakes in many places at once, one after another, and it is only the beginning of sorrows. When we see
the signs of the time we must be prepared for the wrath of the evil men in whose hearts the devil rules, that will take
place upon God's people, the reason this takes place is because of the falling away that has to come. Listen to what
Jesus Christ has to say about this, and yet you get all shook up when a watchman tells you what is to take place. The
reason the watchman is suppose to warn God's people is to get them prepared for the time of persecution, and to be able
to stand in that evil day, with the whole armor of God tightly on them where there will be no room for becoming offended
in that day.
Matthew 24:9-10, Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will
be hated by all nations for my name sake. [10] And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to
distrust, and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.
You see what is happening here. The many that the Holy Spirit is talking about are the very ones who would not listen to
the warnings coming from the watchmen. Then actually said we will not obey the word that you are giving, and we will not
listen to any doomsday prophet what they have to say, we will keep going on with what we are hearing from the
preachers and teachers that are telling us good things. This is what the Lord wants, he wants his people to hear the good
things he can do for us and not what some terrorist will do. We will go on our own way.
You see these are the very people who will desert the Lord and pursue with hatred those who have lied to them. They
were not ready for the persecution. They say, this can't be happening to us, we were told we would escape these things.
So the hatred really starts, and then you will see in this time many false prophets rising up and deceiving and leading
many into error.
Now listen to this, AND THE LOVE OF THE GREAT BODY OF PEOPLE WILL GROW COLD, BECAUSE OF THE
LAWLESSNESS AND INIQUITY. [verse 12] What is the great body? I believe it is all the people that was told to say the
prayer of accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, They just mouth the words that the preacher said, they were never told them
they had to repent from their old ways, and pick up the cross and follow Jesus Christ whether it be in life or death. These
people were never born again, and they were deceived into thinking that everything is all right. They have never sought the
eternal path, and the good old way and then walk in it. What is the good old way, It is the Cross where Jesus Christ
defeated sin's power and destroyed the devil's works, and where all of Adam's nature was dealt a death blow. And that
they can walk in the freedom of the Holy Spirit, in which he leads the ones who come to Christ into the freedom that
Jesus Christ won for them, and experiencing the very Joy of Salvation.
You see the reason that these things come upon the people of God, is to separate those who belong to the Lord and
those who don't. There must be a complete surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Where will you be standing in that
day. One who sees the hand of God in control, or one who gets offended?
Many have been following the teaching of man and not the teaching of the Holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus
Christ says in verse 13, HE WHO ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED.
Now there is a promise that you can really depend upon, and that is when the time comes for the persecution and you
are loving the Lord and following him in what he said, you will be given the strength to go though it, whether it be life or
death. God will give you at that time all the strength that you need. Be not anxious the Lord God Almighty says, but be
of good cheer, I have overcome the world, in the world you will have tribulation, trials and distress and frustration; but be
of good cheer, be confident, for I have overcome the world, [John 16:33] Jesus Christ said that he overcame the world for
us, and that when we trust him he can take us through anything that we have to go through. Hallelujah!
I can hear in my spirit many saying, oh, we have heard that over so many times and nothing has happened yet. God
said, there would be mockers and scoffers in the last days, so don't let these kind of thoughts capture your mind, and be
ready for what is to come. Yes this western church is going to experience persecution like it never had before. What
makes us think that we will escape when we are so lukewarm and can't even stand when a brother or sister looks at us
wrong. This western church is not even prepared for the persecution. They are like Israel of old. When they said we will
go our own way and not be obedient to the Word of the Lord.
Many have been told they were going to escape the tribulation. Do you think that God will allow only the church abroad to
go through the tribulation and loose their lives for the Gospel sake and for the Word of Jesus Christ. What a foolish way
to think. Do you think you think that we are so special, that God would never allow anything like that to happen to us
here in America, after all don't we bring the Gospel to every nation. Yes many have brought the Gospel to every nation,
but not out of a pure heart or pure motives. and that will be judged. When you have wicked judges, and wicked people
running the nation, there is something that has to come in the way of cleansing. Have you ever heard of Ethnic
Cleansing, Get rid of all who call themselves Christians. Those who name the name of Christ don't deserve to live, they
are lower than a dog and need to get rid of it. It's coming, and it is not too far off,
God wants his people to be ready for that day, and that is drawing ever so close to him and become strong in him and in
the power of his might. This is why Paul said in Ephesians 6:10-18
In conclusion, Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God That you may be
able to stand up against the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For we are not wrestling against flesh and
blood, but against principalities and powers, against wicked spirit in high places, For this reason put on the whole
armor of God that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day, and having done all, to stand
firmly in your place.
[1]. Stand [hold your ground] having tightened the belt of truth around your loins.
[2]. Wear the breastplate of righteousness, which is holy living,
[3]. having your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, [facing the enemy with a firm-footed stability, being
ready at all times to preach the good news [not of money, but of the Gospel that sets a person free from their sins and
takes them into the reality of living a holy life in Christ Jesus].
[4].holding up the shield of faith, to quench every fiery dart that the enemy throws against you,
[5]. take the helmet of salvation,

[6]. taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the very word of God, and it is the Holy Spirit that wields which is the word of
God, that it will be sharp enough to penetrate the enemy.
[7]. Pray at all times in the Spirit with all manner of prayer, keeping alert, and watch with strong purpose, perseverance,
interceding in behalf of all saints.
These are the seven part of the armor to be strong in the Lord and in the Power of his might. Also the Spirit of the Lord
warns us that:
Romans 13:11-14,
[11] Besides this you know what a critical hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep.
For Salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.
[12] The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop the works and deeds of darkness and put
on the armor of light.
[13] Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the open light of the day, not in reveling
carousing and drunkenness, not in immorality and sensuality and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.
[14] But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, [put a stop to thinking
about the evil cravings of your physical nature to gratify its desires.
What is the Spirit of the Lord saying.

[1]… Know the time and how critical it is.
[2]… It is high time to wake up out of your sleep
[3]… Salvation is nearer than when you first accepted the Lord
[4]… The night is far gone, the day is at hand
[5]… Drop the works and deeds of darkness
[6]… Put on the Armor of Light
[7]… Live in the open light of the day, not in what the people of darkness do
[8]… Make no provision for your flesh, don’t give way to what the flesh desires.
[9]… Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, His character.
In His Awesome Love

Worship and Intercession

Mike McClung
Dear Extended Family,
Many people are talking about intimacy, worship, and intercession and how they are related. I believe, and have believed
for many years, that there is coming a "marriage" of these two. Prayer and praise throughout scripture speak of
"incense," and according to Lev. 16:1-2 speaking about the Day of Atonement, Aaron and his sons were not allowed to
come in to the Most Holy place even with the sacrificial blood without the cloud of "incense" covering them. The Lord
specifically says, "I will appear in the cloud."
Sometime back in November the Lord began speaking to me about the coming year, and one of the things I kept sensing
the strongest was that this year would see the Bride of Christ begin to emerge in fulness. I began a series on Sundays at
the first of the year entitled "Who Is The Bride of Christ?" with all but the first two messages being a teaching through the
Song of Solomon. The response has been the strongest I've seen in quite some time.
The call to intimacy through prayer and worship, both individually and corporately is going out everywhere. Our "vertical"
relationship must be first and right before true unity and "life" can flow through the Body of Christ. I believe we are about
to enter a "time of mourning." There is coming a deeper dealing in our lives by the Holy Spirit, but the greatest aspect of
this is going to be the revelation of the resurrected, ascended, reigning Lord of glory. Zech. 12:10-13:1, I believe will begin
to be fulfilled in the church. We will mourn FOR Him; not over sin, not over failure, etc. Although dealing with sin will take
place, the focus will be how we have hurt, grieved, and neglected our Bridegroom! We will mourn for (or on behalf of) Him.
We will truly begin to enter the fellowship of His sufferings. When this happens, according to Zech 13:1, a fountain for
cleansing and healing will be opened, because the fear of the Lord will be restored, for we will see Him with unveiled
faces (hearts). There is coming great deliverances and healings in the church. Once this begins to take place,
monumental Harvest will follow, both in Israel and the world.
These are just some of things I believe the Lord is intimating to me. I hope this challenges, inspires, and encourages!
May the presence of the Lord grow exponential in your lives and ministries!
Grace & peace,

Mike McClung Pastor,

War and Call to Prayer!

Paula M. Cavu
(Moderator of The Dreams and Visions List).
D&V List No.92 War Special and Call to Prayer!

Date: Thursday 19 Feb 1998
Topics:
The Mountain Lion is roaring unto war!

Christians please pray for our nation and for our enemies so that war may be prevented!
Contents:
President Clinton (USA) is the lion of the mountain that is roaring (marching to war) against two young lions (Iraq and
Israel?).
Dream by Brother B on 17 Feb 1998 and comments [in italics] by Paula M. Cavu.
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 1998 07:43:30 EST

From: Brother B
I had two dreams this morning and one yesterday morning that I feel the body of Christ need to hear and pray about.
Ezek 38:13 and 1Tim2:1-3 are scriptures put on my heart.
DREAM YESTERDAY 16 FEB 1998:
"I was outside of my house here in Washington, DC I saw President Clinton sitting on a brown horse. With him were
young men and women. He was smiling and rode off into my neighbor's front yard with the youth riding after him. I saw I
was on the side of my house sitting on a brown horse. I pulled out a saber in my right hand. I'm left handed so this is
unusual. I watched the President ride by, but I did not follow.
I knew he was going to go around my neighbor's yard and then come back to my back yard. I saw this happen. I then
knew he was going to go on the other side of my house to the front yard and I went to meet him? I woke up."
President Clinton on a brown horse - USA going out to war

Young men and women with him - Armies of the USA going to war
Riding into my neighbour's front yard - Directly confronting another sovereignty
Brother B in the dream - Israel (since he is a Christian and thus a spiritual Jew)
Bro B's neighbour - Iraq (geographically Israel's neighbour)
Bro B sitting on a brown horse - Israel on war alert
Bro B pull out saber - Israel on the brink of following USA into war with Iraq
Bro B watched President C but did not follow - Israel will not attack Iraq
President C go around neighbour's yard - Attack on Iraq?
President C rode back to Bro B's back yard - USA attention will shift to Israel
President C rides to other side of Bro B's house - USA friendship and policy with Israel will change (to please the United
Nations?)
President C rides to Bro B's front yard - USA will directly confront Israel
Bro B rides out to meet President C - Israel will directly confront the USA
DREAM THIS MORNING 17 FEB 1998:
"I was in a house with people. I walked over to the front door. The door was on the East side of the house, I knew.
Opening, the door I saw two young lions. I heard, a mountain lion roar. Not an African lion roar. I woke up and felt a spirit
in my room. I prayed and rebuked it, then went back to sleep where I was with many people, and I heard again a
mountain lion roar. I told the people to pray. For war was coming and if we pray for our country and our enemies, we
could stop the roar of the mountain lion. I heard the mountain lion roar, throughout the night."
Opening Eastern side door of house - Revelation into the Middle East
Saw two young lions - Focus on Iraq and Israel as in previous night's dream
Roar of the Mountain lion - USA flexing its military muscle in the Middle East
Pray for our country and our enemies – Christians interceding can stop the military resolve of the USA!
Relevant scripture for our encouragement:
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of
him. 1John 5:14-15
"When I woke up I prayed with my wife as I was led by the Spirit. To pray for Iraq and US and Israel 1Tim2:1-3 and
Ezek38:13 came to mind. I also remembered that dream about the snake who had the women's face and the bear that
invaded the underground home. Please keep interceding for us and that all mankind should come to know who Jesus
Christ is.
Thanks, Your brother in Christ Brother B.

War Clouds
Pastor Chris Christiansen
I believe the Lord showed me war clouds beginning to form on the horizon, and then impressed on me that it is time to
look for the beginning of the end-times prophetic fulfillment of Revelation. Then the Lord spoke this to me (3/4/98): Pastor
Chris
You have heard rumors of war, but I say that war is imminent. I will use a wicked people to awaken my
apathetic bride. Nations will become divided and friends will forsake each other. But I say that even as war
rages in the natural, an even greater war will rage in the spiritual. Do not become caught up in what you see as
I begin to pour out judgment in the earth. But be on guard for the enemy of your soul will intensify his efforts to
deceive you. Put on the full armour as you have been instructed every day and encourage everyone around
you to do the same. Pray for those around you. Encourage your brethren in the faith. Draw near to my
presence and listen for my battle plan. Even though victory is assured, there are many battles to be fought. Do
not become distracted by natural events, but understand in them what I am doing supernaturally.
In times past I have used the wicked nations of the world to awaken my people from their slumber. Now I will
bring unity among you as you unite together to resist the forces of darkness. Dividing walls will crumble as you
are forced to come together in order to win the battles. You must link together arm in arm to bring the
penetrating news of the gospel of peace to the lost among you. I have stayed my hand for a season. But look
to the horizon. My watchmen discern the times and seasons. Prepare for war.

Warfare In The Heavenlies

Bill Burns
December 5, 1998:
What I am about to share with you is necessary understanding for anyone who desires to walk in
spiritual authority and power which is necessary to establish the kingdom of God (according to the call
of God) in your life and in the lives of those you will minister to.
What I now tell you I have not learned from others. What I know about spiritual warfare the Holy Spirit
has revealed in the Word and by actual ministry experience. I have heard about some of the ridiculous
things people have done under the guise of so-called spiritual warfare such as going up in airplanes
to yell at the devil (as if he couldn't hear from the ground), and commanding him to give up the land,
and I have witnessed people screaming to the top of their lungs as if the devil were deaf. Let me say
that this is not biblical spiritual warfare. However, biblical warfare does involve speaking to Satan and
his principalities, but it is more than just speaking, as we will see.
Face to face warfare with Satan in where we overcome temptation and the seductions of the flesh and
its nature. This is the first level of spiritual warfare, but I must make this point--all spiritual warfare must
be done in the power of the Spirit, and therefore, all warfare produces real authority, which produces
power. Even in this first level of warfare we "by the Spirit put to death the deeds of the body (flesh)"
(Romans 8:13). Then, we will have overcome by resisting, and we will live in Him in victory for He
always causes us to triumph.
The second level of spiritual warfare is called hand to hand combat in which we enter into warfare for
others by bringing truth (witnessing, preaching) to them or through intercession or by casting out
demons, thus fulfilling the Great Commission in Mark 16:15-18. Please note that this type of ministry
is only for those who have had victory in their own lives in face to face combat. Again, this is done by
the authority of the Holy Spirit who is the finger of God. Luke 11:20 "But if I cast out demons with the
finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you." And, by His commission and authority
we cast out demons. Luke 10:18-19 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
So now let's talk about the third level of spiritual warfare, and may it be so that the Spirit of the Living
God open the eyes of our understanding regarding warfare in the heavenlies where the thrones of
principalities and rulers of darkness are pulled down.
First, we acknowledge that principalities (Satan's princes) do exist. Daniel 10:13, 20 clearly show that
there are princes in the heavenly places, and Ephesians 6;12 clearly tells us that we (the church)
wrestle with (engage in warfare) the principalities, rulers of darkness. With these truths firmly
established, the only question that remains is how do we wrestle? (Pallo--meaning to sway or vibrate)
with principalities. The vibration of prophetic proclamation comes against and causes the throne of
principalities to begin to sway, until they topple over and come down. Again, this type of warfare does
not take place in our own strength or power. 2 Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.
The weapons of our warfare (in the heavenlies--spiritual realm) are intercession by prophetic
proclamation (speaking by the Holy Spirit), not bringing a railing accusation but through proclamation
that declares the establishment of the Kingdom of God and commands Satan to get behind (a place
of defeat) the kingdom and to get under the feet of God's rule. And, as ambassadors for Christ, we
must engage the enemy.
In the Old Testament we have a shadow and type of warfare in the heavenlies called pulling down the
high places, and you will notice that most did not do this, and therefore, a fullness of the kingdom was
not established. In the New Testament we have an example of how this takes place. And now, we get
to the heart of the matter, and when one is seeking truth we must go to the Truth, Jesus, who is the
author and finisher of our faith, the Master teacher Himself, and we must examine the example that He
left us with, and it is found in Luke chapters 3 and 4. Jesus is not warring on the first two levels of
warfare, which we have discussed. The object of warfare is to establish kingdom rule. Luke 4:5-6
"Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a
moment of time. And the devil said to Him, 'All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has
been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.'"
Herein the divine plan of spiritual warfare (in the heavenlies--spiritual realm) is revealed. 1. First, Luke
3:22 tells us that Jesus is baptized with the Holy Spirit. I believe that the baptism of the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential for those who are going to engage in spiritual warfare against Satan and his
principalities (princes).
2. In Luke 4:2 Jesus is LED into spiritual warfare by the Holy Spirit. Warfare in the heavenlies is
orchestrated by God who gives the gift of discerning of spirits, thereby revealing what principalities
are ruling.
3. Jesus does not bring a railing accusation against Satan (neither do we), but He does speak the
Word of God by the Spirit of God, and His main message is "Get Behind Me Satan!" In other words,
the kingdom of God has come, and you are now behind (or under) My authority, and you must move
out of the way--verse 13 says, "He (Satan) departed from Jesus."
The authority of the kingdom must first be proclaimed, this is how Jesus began His ministry. Matthew
4:17-- From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand." So the question is, are we supposed to speak to Satan and his principalities? And, by whose
authority are the principalities pulled down? Matthew 18:18 "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind
on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Mark
11:23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the
sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have
whatever he says."
What we bind and loose (by proclamation) on earth is done by Jesus in the heavenlies, for He is the
Captain of the hosts (His angelic warriors), and it is His angels who pull down the strongholds
(fortresses) that Satan establishes. The angels of God were there at the wilderness battle. Mat 4:11--
"Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him."
4. Now most would say the battle is won and is over at this point, but it has actually only begun. Luke
4:13 indicates that Satan may have lost this battle, but he hasn't lost the war yet because his
departure has only been for a season.
Now, we must move on to the second phase of spiritual warfare which is to establish the kingdom
(dominion) of God by following Christ's example. Luke 14:2 tells us that the establishment of the
kingdom will be through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The next key is found in Luke 4:18--"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed
Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to
the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed." The
kingdom of God is going to be established through the anointing as the Word is preached, and by
continuing to cast out demon powers wherever found (Luke 4:35, 36) and by healing the sick (Luke
4:40,41).
5. Okay, a bottom line...The principalities and powers that we wrestle with are pulled down (lose
authority) by the establishment of the kingdom of God as the anointed servants of the Lord speak to
(bind, rebuke and cast out) and as they continue to do the works of Jesus as He said we would in
John 14:12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also;
and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father."
It is the continuation of the kingdom of God that destroys the rule of Satan's powers of darkness and
the thrones of his rule will diminish in exact proportion to the rule of the kingdom of God in any given
geographical area.
It is the responsibility of the church to confront principalities and powers by establishing the Kingdom
of God first in their own lives and then by helping others, and thus establishing a witness to the people
of God's Kingdom. Ephesians 3:9-12, "And to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus
Christ; to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the
principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He
accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence
through faith in Him."
And now, I will leave you with a practical application of spiritual warfare in the heavenlies as it has
occurred in Kremmling, Colorado, at Faith Tabernacle. Shortly after we opened the doors of the
church, the Lord revealed to us that a principality whose name was Division was set over our
geographical area. We began to war against the principality by proclamation and by continuing to
establish the kingdom by preaching the truth, casting out demons that were hindering people, and
healing the sick. The Lord then told us that the spirit of division would infiltrate the church in the form of
the Daughters of Darkness (these were two women), and they would be under the rule of Jezebel, and
they were sent to cause division and destroy the church.
This attack has occurred four times in twelve years of ministry (different women each time). We have
had victory every time because we bound the powers of the Daughters of Darkness in the heavenly
places, and when we did, those who were attached to Jezebel were taken out of the church when the
stronghold was pulled down. It has been an awesome learning experience to understand one's
spiritual authority in Christ and then to exercise that authority and watch the principalities give in to the
kingdom of God and withdraw, taking their people with them.
To God be the glory for His authority and power brought by the Holy Spirit to have victory over all of the
works of the enemy!

A Vision of a War Machine

Bryan Hupperts
September 24, 1998 A Vision of a War Machine
Last Sunday during a church service the Holy Spirit gave me a very detailed vision that I will share. Then I will expound on
the ramifications of its meaning.
I went forward for prayer with a hunger in my heart to become a true worshipper of God. I was asking Him to remove any
pretense and ritual from me and allow me to enter a place in my walk that I might worship God is spirit and truth.
Suddenly, I was caught up in the Spirit and the Lord showed me a vision of a tank of war. It was a war machine, terrible
and powerful. It had guns coming out of many places and sort of reminded me of a WWII German Panzer in its ferocity. It
had a targetable cannon that would spit fire. I had the impression that if you were a prisoner of war and saw this coming,
you would rejoice. If you were the enemy, you would fear. This machine was made for the smashing down of strongholds
and the liberating of prisoners. To some it spoke of life, to others death.
As I watched this tank I noticed that, while it was fighting, it wasn't moving. That's when I noticed that its double fuel
tanks were on E. There was no fuel to make it run.
While meditation of the picture (and still in the Spirit) I asked the Lord, "What is this war machine?"
He responded, "This is your ministry."
"So why is there no fuel in the tanks?" I asked.
"The prayers of the saints fuel this war machine. It will run on nothing else."
And it ended.
First, I saw the immediate connection between those of us who have a more front line ministry and those who are called
to a ministry of intercession. The relationship is like that between frontline soldiers and supply soldiers. Some are called
to do the fighting, while others are called to supply the food, trucks, fuel, and so on. Neither can successfully fulfill their
part unless all obey their personal calling.
The war machine operates from the position of the victory of Christ at Calvary. It only goes forward, however, when the
saints of God begin to do warfare in the heavenlies and proclaim the victory of Jesus. Someone has to be sent to
proclaim freedom to the enemy's captives and someone needs to be praying that the veil over their eyes might be pierced
so that they can see the glorious Gospel of Grace, and be saved.
The war machine was fighting but it needed fuel. I feel that this was a call from God to the church to begin to pray for me
personally, and for all who are called into frontline ministries. Missionaries, pastors, their families, and anyone who is
actively declaring Jesus to a lost world, are special targets of assault from the enemy and need your prayers.
We need to go on the offensive if we want to fulfill the mandate of God to our generation. We cannot go forward into the
deeper purposes of God, nor will fulfill His will on earth, without the militant prayers of the saints. The family of God needs
to pick up their Swords and become the army of God, too.
One of my personal heroes is Smith Wigglesworth, the great healing evangelist of the last century. He once remarked,
"I've never prayed more than fifteen minutes in my life; but I've never gone more than fifteen minutes without praying,
either." That remark inspired me to a life of prayer.
I've written this before but it bares repeating. The Lord showed me that the coming revival shall be birthed in prayer, it
shall thrive by prayer, and if it dies, it shall be for the want of prayer.
Saints of God, to the throne room of Grace! Call down the might and power of the Spirit of God that we may be His
witnesses unto the ends of the earth. We must labor while it is yet day. The night is coming when no man can work.
For the lost and the Glorious Lamb,

The Warning: Part III.

Frank T. Szedlak Jr.
[Prophecy from Catholic Sources]

November 1998
Recent messages indicate that the warning could come this month. While I believe the word will be
given to a special visionary one week prior, it has not come yet. However these recent messages to
other people are as follows.
1. David & Winona Heischman: "My People, Listen and give heed unto what I have to speak, for the
final seconds before My Appearing in the clouds is even now before you. Hear Oh People of God, for
even now as I speak through the voice of My Servant are my angels making preparation for the
greatest event of My church, for in this final hour shall My People arise and they shall shine, for My
Glory shall be risen upon them. Even in this the eleventh month shall there be a warning given
that it is time to enter into My Ark before my wrath falls swiftly upon the earth, and as My
People are gathered before My Face, shall there be a great sign from heaven that shall
prepare My People, My Bride, for The Great Catching Away."
2. Katie Burchfield: One day the Triune God spoke to me in my living room. This is what I heard and
saw from the Triune God. He said, I will flick a rock". I saw a hand in space that flicked a rock. Then I
saw a rock hit the Statue of Liberty and I saw it’s destruction. I saw only the destruction of the Statue of
Liberty, not New York or any people......"Be not afraid for this is a very compassionate and
merciful warning." I understood that this was to be a warning for the USA and the World. Then in
September 1997 while I was speaking at an international women’s meeting I shared the warning. I
asked the Lord internally why was I sharing this? Our Lord said: "It is now time".
3. Sadie Jaramillo: September 24, 1998. Our Lady of Ransom: "In the midst of all these storms that
mirror the fury of God’s Wrath will come your merciful act of Warning for humanity. Before the year
is over, you will see the fulfillment of past prophecy."
4. Ibid: October 25, 1998. Jesus: "The shower of stars brings many cosmic events which will bring the
Warning of your soul." Editors note: The Leonard meteor showers are due Nov. 17-20th. The
Feast of Christ the King is Nov. 22nd.
5. Louise Tomkiel, Jesus, October 3, 1998 "The battle between God and Satan is raging and very
quickly coming to a head. Before the year is over, I will bring many people to their knees. The
Warning will happen very soon and My sign will appear in the sky for all to see."

The Warning! - 1998 Part I.

References From 12/28/97 To 3/12/98
Time Is Very Short!

by Frank Szedlak
1. Allan Radio, Phillipines, 2/6/98. Jesus: "I give My Peace to all of you. I ask all of you to increase your prayers and
your sacrifices. Pray, pray, pray. Continue also your physical and spiritual preparation for the coming of the Great
Chastisement! Prepare little ones, prepare without fear! Follow all the instructions that We have given to all of you. The
Great Warning is so close and is coming soon. Many things will happen throughout the World. Many will be confused.
Feud between countries will take place which will cause the Great War to start. Persecutions to My Church will also take
place. Many more Catholic Bishops and Priests will turn against the Pope. The Enemy will be much stronger than
before. All these are part of the punishment from my Father.
Have courage and faith in facing these troubling times. One day My children all these will end. All Our suffering will end
soon! Pray more! Consecrate yourselves to My Sacred heart and to the Immaculate Heart of My Mother and you will be
protected."
2. Carol Ameche, March 12, 1998, Jesus: "The time, as you can see, is here for the illumination of your minds to the
state of your souls, dear children of the world. You see unmistakable signs and words being given, to all who wait for the
Father to send His merciful Justice into the world; this need not be awaited or anticipated in the future, it is happening
now!"
3. Pat Mundorf, January 23, 1998. The Blessed Mother: "This year will not end before a great sign has come upon you!"
4. John Leary, February 22, 1998, God the Father: "I WILL SEND YOU THE WARNING, so that EVERYONE will know
who their God is, and they will know what TRUE good and evil are."
5. Sadie Jaramillo, December 28, 1997, " I see a brilliantly illuminated cross against a very dark sky. It seems as if this
cross is beaming rays of light down towards the Earth. There is some light, and I see people prostrate in adoration… This
is very intense and seems to be occuring for each person individually. It seems that this cross is close enough that I
could reach out and embrace the foot of it. Even where there is no light, I can see silhouettes of people, cowering back in
intense fear, almost to the point of despair, hands up to their faces, crying and then some falling to their knees…"
ibid: Jesus: " The hour is late and I had told you, ‘I am going to place you in the crucible of My Love,’ to experience, if
you will, a mini judgment. The illuminated cross all will see, and if it seems you could embrace the foot, it is because on
Calvary I saw each and all and it is a personal experience for those who finally surrender unto Me their Heart… you ARE
in the final moments… many will be given the grace to embrace the foot of My Cross, and carry theirs…"
6. Paola Albertini, Italy, The Blessed Mother has also said that there will appear a great cross in the sky. All will see it.
Some will be converted. Some will be so frightened that they will die. And others will be indifferent to it. There will be a
test, and then there will come this sign… Jesus and Mary will help us. Let us not be afraid.

The Warning 1998 Part II

Frank Szedlak
7. Ronnie Bautista, Seer from Agoo, La Union.

"The mini-judgment is a reality. People no longer realize that they offend Me. Out of my infinite Mercy I will provide
a mini-judgment. It will be painful, very painful but short. You will see your sins, you will see how much you offend
me everyday."
8. Giuseppe Auricchia, visionary from Avola, Syracuse.

"Each one will receive a sign, a grace or a punishment, which is called a Warning. At that moment, all of you will
sense to be alone. Wherever you may be, you will feel "alone" with your conscience. God alone will be before you.
Each of you will see your own sins and each of you will have different feelings and each of you will necessarily react
in a different manner. This will depend on your conscience. What is important is that you recognize your own sins
and their evil consequences. You will experience an interior sentiment of sorrow and pain for having offended God."
9. Sadie Jaramillo, March 25, 1998. Mary:

"The time left now is nearly expired. My children do you not understand? Though The Warning of mans’ conscience
was to have come long ago, this would have certainly meant the length of time of the antichrist’s reign would have
been longer! As it is now, I have shortened the length of his reign. Only by your continued prayers and sacrifices
united and given to me with love have I been able to intervene! (Do) you understand my sorrow? Continued
abortions, sexual perversion and that which I revealed at Fatima: sins of the flesh cause more souls to go to hell!"
10. The Two Patricks, Ireland. January 11, 1998. Jesus.

"I prepare you for days to come, children. Look, look with eyes that are not blinded by the world. See the Truth of
Fatima, Garabandal, about to unfold before your eyes. Look and do not be blind. See the Truth of My Revelations

Warning and Encouragement

Mark Miller
Date: 12/22/98
I am writing for the first time to convey a dream I had several years ago that I thought would encourage
folks in the body of Christ. I realize that dreams are very subjective and I would like to submit this one
for any insight or interpretation to the prophets out there okay? In about 1997 I had a dream that was
very significant. In the dream I was underground inside of a cave much like the topography of a
merimac caverns with stalactites hanging from the ceiling. my wife and I were there together. She was
sitting in a lounge chair on the beach and I decided to go swimming in the lake that was there. I waded
out in- to the water and began to swim. As I began to swim the water seemed to grow choppy,
noticing the change I wondered what was happening. As I pondered this the water grew more
turbulent, and began to swirl like a whirlpool around me. Becoming concerned for my safety I began to
call out to my wife on the shore. She didn't hear me at all so I began to pray softly to myself, "Jesus
help me, Jesus help me." As I was praying in this manner the Lord seemed to speak to me and say,
"don't pray that way, pray with authority!!" I began to command with authority the water and turbulence
In the name of Jesus stop this activity!
Immediately the water began to become calm and I continued to pray. All of a sudden skeletons
began to arise from the bottom of this lake, and walk onto the shore. As they walked onto the shore,
they began to put on flesh. I was screaming at them as they arose up from the lake and walked onto
the shore to turn to the Lord he was their only hope! Then I woke up from the dream and the Lord
began to speak to me about what I had seem. The first thing He pointed out to me was that we each
as believers have to develop our own personal and intimate relationship with Him, because at times
we will be alone and facing many turbulent and dangerous situations. But if we know our God, we will
be strong and do exploits in His name at His command. I also think that my wife was representing the
intercessors in the dream and that the Lord doesn't want his intercessors "lying on a beach and
lounging around unprepared.
I believe that this is a warning and an encouragement to be prepared just like the old boy scout motto
says. And moving in his authority we can overcome the turbulent times ahead. We have been given
authority and we must exercise it not just to preserve and protect ourselves but to resurrect the dead,
the backslidden, the outcasts, the slain, the ones who are captive with the weapons of our warfare
which are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, in our minds, in our families, in our
churches, and our communities and nations. We must take a stand in the spirit realm and destroy the
works of the enemy! I thank God for my wife and the intercessors as a whole in the body of Christ, but
we must as individual believers have our own strong and ongoing intimate relationship with Abba,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Lord has been speaking to me personally for the past 10 years at
least to warn the church that we must meditate upon His word day and night and hide His word in our
hearts, because the darkness is going to come when no man or woman can work. Speaking of the
freedom and liberty we now enjoy to worship, read the word, preach the word, and evangelize without
restraint. Saints lets redeem the time and prepare ourselves wisely for what lies ahead, for didn't
Jesus say to occupy till I come. Even this is a military statement that we are in a war and we must fight
to win! That's all for now, Have a wonderful Christmas season as we celebrate our warrior King and
remember that He rules and reigns through His Church, us.

Warnings And Reassurance For The Saints

Sandy Van Eysinga
I am enclosing a write-up I began in the summer of 1994. It follows:
This series of prophecies were meant to reassure the Saints about the coming "end time" events, especially in reference
to the time of the "beast" of Revelations 13, the welfare of Christians before the time of his influence, and about the
salvation of the Saints from the great Judgments of God upon the earth (the "bowls of wrath" mentioned in Revelations).
Like many evangelical Christians, I have read the prophetic writings in the Bible ever since I was a small child, without
ever being able to really understand them. In fact, they scared me. Every once in a while some learned scholar would put
forth an end times theory which inevitably had a date which eventually expired. I believe the evangelical community has
grown tired of these forecasts of gloom and doom.
Then came this summer. I began to think about what the end times would be like as predicted in biblical prophecy, and
asked the Lord to help me understand it somehow. I began to have dreams right before waking up in the morning, and
would wake up alert and thoughtful. The dreams were very real, so real that I can recall them now quite easily.
The first few dreams were about being in earthquakes of great magnitude. In the dreams the Holy Spirit always led to a
place of safety right before the massive earthquake occurred. (e.g.: In one dream, this "safe place" was underneath a big
semi parked at the foot of a mountainous cliff. The boulders from the cliff toppled onto the car which we had been in, and
also on the semi, but the strong under-rigging of the semi endured the weight of the rocks leaving a safe "crawl space"
underneath. Someone then began to move the boulders away.)
In order to understand these dreams, I read the Bible.
The great events of the end times are described in Revelation, beginning with the opening of the seals by the Lamb of
God (chapter 6). The first seal opens to a conqueror. This is a mystery to me. It may mean a conqueror will arise, or it
may indicate Christ. I don't want to assume anything at this point, without specific guidance. The second seal opens to
great wars. The third seal opens to great economic hardship. The fourth seal opens to death by war, disease, hunger and
wild animals.
Then here comes a key statement in the fifth seal: the martyrs in heaven cry out for God to begin his judgment--his
vengeance. They are told to wait a little longer, so that the number of the martyrs may be completed. This indicates that
at this point God has not yet begun the final, great judgment and that all of the preceding events of the seals occur before
Christians are raptured unto Christ. I believe that we have now entered the time of war. The other events are yet to occur.
The sixth seal is heralded by a great, even global, earthquake which can move every mountain and island from it's usual
position. It is this earthquake which is addressed by the first series of dreams.
Christians will still be on the earth, but need not fear because God will protect them if they heed His small voice
prompting them to take a safe haven which He will provide, and as Jesus described in Matt. 24, they must respond
promptly! I'm not saying that all Christians will be saved from the coming destruction. Only those to whom God speaks in
warning and who hear his warning and obey quickly will be saved, and strictly on an event-by-event basis--each time a
new danger arises, God will speak and they will have to hear and obey immediately. Even one slip of disobedience at this
time will result in their destruction.
I am saying that whom God chooses to save, He will save, even by intervening directly for them. It will be like Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego in the Fiery Furnace described in Daniel. This is the reassurance which God has for his saints
at this time through these dreams. It is mentioned in Matthew chapter 24, Psalm 91, and many other places. Christ loves
and cares for his sheep who hear his voice. So he will save many. He will also allow many to be highly honored through
martyrdom, and he will prepare them before hand to receive it--for our God does everything well.
This global earthquake will lead to a breakdown in governing authority--everyone will be too busy finding cover to bother
with governing, so a sort of temporary anarchy will be seen. The only two things I can think of to produce an earthquake
of global proportions are either a huge volcanic eruption (or several all at once), or an asteroid or comet striking the earth
(this is definitely mentioned as occurring later on in Revelations). Note that although there is a worldwide earthquake,
there is no fiery shock wave or environmental devastation as is later described (chapter 8). I favor the explanation of a
broken up asteroid or a series of asteroids striking the earth (because of v. 13). These asteroids do not have the huge
destructive power which the later occurring asteroid impact has (chapter 8).
The next period of dreams were regarding Revelations chapter 13, perhaps about the time of the Beast. In one of the
dreams, members of my family and I were hiking over a mountain, escaping into a Christian-friendly area south of the
Canadian border. For some reason the younger men were not present (away at war?) and with us were children and my
tiny, weak and shrunken grandmother (she is still sturdy and strong today) along with a few personal possessions. In the
dream, we were following a railway track of some sort and came to a very steep, downhill part. We accidentally dropped
the plastic tub in which my grandmother was riding down the incline. As it fell down, I casually ordered it to stop and
return in the name of Jesus. It did! I am not saying this scenario will occur literally. But this dream shows several things:
During this time, there will be pockets of safety for Christians to go to. I can say this because v. 7 says he will war
against the saints. I read this as indicating that Christians will be able to give resistance to him. This could only occur if
they were able to draw strength and safety from somewhere. Perhaps the "Bible belt" of the Pacific Northwest will be one
of these places. My dream suggests that Christians will be led to leave our area, the Fraser Valley, and proceed south to
the US. My family will be involved in a kind of "underground railroad," leading people (perhaps taking children) to the
relative (short-term) safety of these areas across the border.
Secondly, God will pour out spiritual strength and authority onto his chosen saints, so that they will not be surprised if
the laws of physics obey their command in the name of Jesus Christ. They will take miracles of this stature as a normal
occurrence! This dream may even be symbolic of a raising from the dead. For "Not by might, nor by power, but by my
Spirit, says the Lord."
This scenario reminds me of the stories my grandmother tells about being an evangelical Christian family in Poland and
Germany during WWII. At that time, many of them believed the end times were already upon them; for Hitler, the resident
Catholic Poles and the Stalinists all hated evangelical Christians. Many evangelical Christians (including Dutch Corrie
Ten Boom, author of The Hiding Place) ended up in Nazi concentration camps. It is almost certain that Hitler was one of
the kings mentioned in the book of Daniel-- history now shows that he, and a group of Nazi leaders, was heavily involved
in Satan-worshipping occultic practices.
My great-grandfather, Leopold Ginter, was a man of holiness and served as spiritual leader for his church after the Nazis
took away their pastor. He hid Jews in his barn and conveyed them through checkpoints in his hay cart. In one instance,
he was stopped and the hay cart bayoneted through and through. Later, to his surprise, he found that no one was even
injured! Also, later in their journey when they left a village to escape the coming Russian army, an angel of the Lord
miraculously appeared and led them and the two carts following them to an alternative road, leading to their escape. No
one else going along their previous route, to their knowledge, escaped.
God had further plans for these saints, and so led them to safety in a supernatural way. So you see, when God
determines to set certain people aside from destruction in order that they may continue to serve him on Earth, they are
indeed saved--even supernaturally. The Bible indicates that those he has set aside to be martyrs will meet their
appointed end--to their eventual glory, and history has shown that God provides supernatural strength and grace for them
during their sufferings. We don't need to be afraid-- God has provided for each one of his beloved children.
God will also provide havens. In one dream, one of my relatives was showing me through a massive, solidly built
underground bomb shelter. It was well lit with fluorescent lights, had plants growing everywhere (hanging down from
niches in the ceiling), and an enormous walk-in freezer, which took up a whole room! It had an independent source of
power and water, and was well- appointed, well stocked, spacious, efficient, well planned, and, yes, beautiful even. The
interiors were white, with the green plants giving color and life to the air. It was large enough to hold a whole small town, if
necessary, for a full year!
According to Revelations, the reign of the beast will be short: only three-and-a-half years. During this time, at some point
God will take up his people to Christ. Christ's chosen honor guard will later return to fight and then to rule with Christ, the
"pure ones who have never lain with a woman." According to Revelations, these will be chosen from the Tribes of Israel,
the Jews, who by this time will have returned to a full knowledge and belief in their Messiah as prophesied by Paul in
Romans 11:26. This chosen honor guard is described in detail in Revelations chapter 14. I believe that verse 3 states that
they will return after having been "redeemed from the earth" or raptured. The rapture itself is described by Jesus in
Matthew 24: 30, 31. Jesus will appear in the clouds, and his angels will gather the saints from the four corners of the
earth "with a loud trumpet call." We will be lifted up to him in the air.
Note that there is no mention here that Jesus will actually descend to the earth at this time. Jesus says "the sign of the
Son of Man will appear in the sky." I believe this moment will be preceded by the three angels' announcements of
Revelations 14: 6 - 13. God is so merciful that before the rapture of the saints, the Gospel of Salvation will be preached
around the world from an angel in midair, so that not one precious soul will endure the appointed wrath unless they refuse
to repent even after an angel's declaration to the whole world! Notice that a warning will also be proclaimed throughout the
whole world in the same way, not to worship the beast or receive his number. After this, according to the rest of
Revelations 14, "the earth was harvested." This refers to the rapture of the saints, the harvest, from the earth. Then will
follow the harvest and the trampling of the grapes of wrath.
Thus the chosen saints will escape the full brunt of the wrath of God. Then God will have his judgment. If some saints
remain as witnesses of God's wrath, they will be protected from it. For it is appointed for the church to endure the
tribulation, but not the full day of wrath. The events of chapters 15 and 16 will occur. I believe God will send one or two
massive asteroids or comets to strike the earth. This will lead to huge earthquakes, widespread fires (from the shock-
wave), pollution of a large quantity of sea and fresh water, darkness (sort of like a nuclear winter), and a great dying out of
plants and animals. These are the "bowls of wrath", the wrath of God which he has said he will bypass from his people in
I Thessalonians 5:9. This doesn't mean that the first tribulations won't be terrible. They will be! But the tribulations of the
saints will be like nothing compared to the judgment of God on the wicked ones.
Christ will prevail against all the forces of evil and eventually rule from Jerusalem. The nations will still exist, but come to
Him for mediation. His chosen saints will govern with him for a thousand years. Eventually God will create another earth,
and indeed another heaven.
From these conclusions, I can safely say that planet earth under Christ's rule will last at least a thousand more years
(that is, the earth will not be destroyed at Armageddon). After that point, we may progress to a new earth, or may be
transported into the heavenlies. Only God knows all these things for sure, after all.
Unfortunately certain church authorities do not receive this statement as prophetic, saying that the official statement of
the church is "pre-trib," or that Christ will remove his church before the tribulation comes. This seems silly to me, since
there are definitely going to be saints on the earth for the beast to make war against as is stated in Revelations. There
seems to be a fear of the beast in the evangelical church. But in these dreams, God reassures us that martyrdom will be
only for those He has prepared for it, and that many saints will be delivered. In fact, scripture is emphatic that what
Christians may endure will be nothing compared to what those who take the number of the beast will endure at the hands
of God in the time of judgment, the great "Day of Wrath" or the seven bowls of God's wrath described in Rev. 16.
There is some confusion about when Christ comes. I believe that at the rapture, Christ will appear in the air to receive his
church unto him. Matthew says that Angels will go to the four corners of the earth to collect the Saints, who will be
engaged in a losing battle against the enemy as Christ describes in Matt. 24. Following or concurrent with tremendous
judgments of God upon the earth, Armageddon will occur during which Christ will descend from heaven with his hand-
picked army of pure saints to make war against the evil one and all his followers on the earth. Please understand that
this is my understanding of what scripture describes.
Between the rapture and Christ's coming at Armageddon the whole earth will be given over to evil and abhorrent practices
through the new age, occult, witchcraft, etc. so that when Christ comes, the whole earth will be arrayed against him in
battle. There will then be a slaughter, a huge purification of evil ones from the face of the earth.
After that, the clean up of our world will occur. It will be transformed into something like Eden once again, with the lion
laying down beside the lamb and a great change occurring in the natural realm. Christians will rule on earth, on Eden with
Christ at our head. But Christ is not a tyrant. There will still be humans governing fairly. The big difference is that Christ
will be our Guide, our Priest, and our Head. All international disputes will be fairly mediated by him. The economy will be
worldwide, and controlled fairly to such an extent that no one will be poor or hungry, yet no one will complain about
taxes! That would be a miracle, eh?
Anyway that's what my conclusions are about the end-times. We have nothing to fear with God in control as long as we
are obedient to His voice and the Scripture. Above all, let's not argue with one another about the coming times.
Disagreement has its source in Fear, which is not based in Faith. As events unfold, it will be of paramount importance
that Christians unite with each other in love, and care for one another through the coming difficult times. Whatever
happens, Christ will take care of his beloved ones- -either in this world or in heaven.
Further Dreams and Visions
Once again, this summer (1997), God has been giving me dreams and visions concerning the future. I'm writing them
down here so that others can read them, take heart and take warning. I welcome any additional interpretations in the
Spirit of the Lord.
I believe that the fact that these dreams and visions happened in the summer has significance, for Jesus warned in
Matthew 24:20, "Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath." So let's obey that command, and
pray that the appointed time occurs in the summer.
God first reminded me of dreams I had in 1993 and 1994 which I had forgotten.
Dream: In the first, I was approaching a volcanic pit or lake full of lava which was about to overflow. As I approached, I
was battling the evil spirits: binding them, rebuking them, and casting them out in the name of Jesus. As I approached
the edge, the lava overflowed. Just in time, I climbed a small, burnt and bare little tree and was saved from being engulfed
in the lava. I was dismayed, as I perched up there, but I knew in faith that God would save me. Sure enough, a small,
humble, native man approached, wading through the lava. I was amazed that this man could wade in the lava and be
unharmed, especially because when I had known him he had been backslidden and weak in the Spirit. But here he
came, clearly full of power in the Spirit. He smiled up at me with a twinkle, as if he knew that I was amazed at him. He
asked me to get onto his back, which I did. Then he carried me through the lava out to safety.
Interpretation: This dream is symbolic: I represent the believers of our area. This dream shows that as the tribulation
(lava) approaches, God will provide a temporary refuge. He will then use Native Indian believers to save all the rest of us!
This is remarkable in light of the years-old resentment which has been between Canadians and Native Indian peoples.
Nevertheless, I believe this dream shows that they will be the ones used of God, who will save us and take us to a place
of safety. All this will be directed by the Spirit of God. Let us take this warning seriously.
This summer, 1997, I dreamt prophetically again. This dream was about the future.
Dream: I was with my mother and two daughters in a wood frame house, full of Christians. It was a house of refuge. A
woman came in, and she was full of sorrow because she was carrying a bomb, which had been planted on her by the
enemy. She was also carrying a little girl about two years old. She immediately went down into farthest corner of the
basement of the house, in order to make the least amount of damage when the bomb went off. The rest of the people,
about 150 or so, began to evacuate, lining up on the lawn a good distance from the house.
I went into a far corner of the house, trying to find a place to hide where the heat of the bomb wouldn't reach. Following
me was an oriental Christian lady with her child. We came to a stairwell going down, and I thought it would be a safe
place. Just as we were about to descend into the stairwell, I noticed that the walls were made of wood and not cement,
as I had thought. That meant it was not a safe place! The time was nearly out. Just then, the small girl which the sad
lady with the bomb had been carrying came out of the basement and partly up the stairwell. I lunged down and grabbed
her up to safety. I ordered us all to get down, flat, and then we heard the bomb go off in the distance. I had my hand
down, feeling the boards inside the stairwell, to feel how fast the heat would come. As they began to warm, we got up
and jumped valiantly through a glass-paned window out onto the lawn, to safety. Then, realizing I had left the little girl
inside, I turned to see if she was there, just before the shock wave came. Two men appeared in the house by the
window, and grabbed her, throwing her to me out of the window. I believe these men were angels.
Once out on the lawn among the survivors, I saw that people had organized into rows. Children were lined up, so that
people could find them easily. My mother was there, safe, and I saw that my youngest daughter was with her safe. I was
looking among the other children for my eldest daughter (I knew she was there somewhere, safe) and then I woke up.
Once again, throughout the dream I had a feeling of great faith and confidence. Even though we were in peril, we knew
that God's hand was powerfully on us to save his people. There was not so much a spirit of fear as of a spirit of patient
endurance and waiting, in the Power of the Spirit of God.
Interpretation: This dream is symbolic, about the church during the end time persecution of Christians. Once again, I am
reminded of the railroad dream--saving children from the flames of religious persecution. The oriental woman with a young
boy is someone I will disciple. The lady with the bomb represents people in the body who will deceive and betray. Their
attitude will be one of sorrow, even as Judas was sorrowful to betray Jesus. They will be suicidal as he was. The church
will be forewarned of deceit, and will led in an orderly way to safety, but in the process will lose the current structure of
church buildings and hierarchy. They will eventually worship outside! I personally will be leading, and will be used in the
gift of discernment and warning (already coming true!) of coming peril to the saints. Angels will aid the saints to save
others from the peril. There will be an air of patient endurance in the power of the Spirit of the Lord.
Vision: early in the morning, I saw a picture of a body of water bordered in front, on the right, and on the left by three
verdant mountains. In the middle of the bay or lake, the very top parts of a town's downtown buildings stuck out. A town
was clearly submerged under a huge, calm and beautiful, engulfing body of water. The name "Castlegar" then was
spoken and written above the body of water. When I checked where on earth Castlegar was on the atlas, I was surprised
to see how far inland it was. It will be engulfed. I feel this is an actual flooding, an end-time flooding though it might also
be symbolic, a sign of something. I have been told that Castlegar is a town of great evil.
Another dream: I was vacationing with my family, in a beautiful resort built on the edge of the ocean. It was made mostly
of glass and oak, very beautiful. I thought it was much too fragile, though, for it's location. Roger had both girls by the
hands and had taken a walk out on a cement pier which stretched out into the sea. I was inside the building, just inside
some glass French doors which were partly open. I turned inside for a moment, then heard a shout, "Look at that!" I
turned to look, and saw that a fierce wind had turned the whole sea into whitecaps, even the little waves inside the
beach. Just beyond the edge of the end of the pier were two tidal waves approaching quickly. Roger and the girls had
returned, and had walked beside the house on a raised, cement balcony with metal pipe railings which ran along the
edge of the house looking out to sea. I called to my daughters, "Evie and Ina, come here RIGHT NOW!" and they turned
and began to run towards me. Ina was covered by the wave up to her armpits, however. She did manage to get free of the
wave and run to me with her sister. The dream ended there suddenly.
After the dream, I felt that God wanted me to intercede for my family. I prayed, reminding him of Abraham's prayer
concerning Lot's family. I asked him to save my little family, my father's immediate family (my mother, father,
grandmother, sisters and their families), and my husband's family. I also asked that he save Steve, who is like a brother
to us but isn't related. This dream was a warning, a call to intercede for family and friends who will be engulfed in these
two upcoming events. I don't know what these waves represent, but I feel they are imminent. I feel like the first wave
might be a plague, an epidemic. That's just a personal feeling. Pray and intercede! There's not much time to prepare. It
will come suddenly, with only the barest of warnings.
Addendum
March 1998: I just had a Dream similar to this one above. I was on top of a mountain, in my mother's house which was
made of oak and glass (just like the one above). I was outside it, looking in. I realized that it would not be strong enough.
A wind began to blow, whipping up grass and leaves, which blew past me wildly. I went inside, to be with my family
within: my parents, and the rest of my family. I went to a window and looked out. Down far below in the valley below the
mountain I could see a HUGE, flat, slowly rotating funnel cloud--as large as a hurricane. It was massive and it was slowly
moving towards us. I knew that the house we were in would not withstand the force of this storm, since it was built
mostly of glass.
Interpretation: The mountain is the kingdom of God, on which my family and their church rests. The church as it is, is too
fragile to withstand the coming trials, and this concerns me. Troubled times are even now beginning, and I draw near to
my family and church to escape them. May God preserve his saints from what is to come. May we take refuge in THE
ROCK, seek shelter in the shadow of His wings through the coming trials instead of relying on family or church.
Another, similar Dream about glass houses: I was walking with an older lady who resembled Nancy Reagan, beside a
swiftly rushing river. We were in a narrow canyon which was verdant, hung with prolific plant life. She was joking and
laughing, and playfully leaned into the river. I grabbed the back of her shirt, not really seriously, and as I did, someone
pushed me in too. The water was sparkling and wonderful, not cold, and we waded upstream, looking at the glass
houses built on the edge of this canyon river. They hung over, like pagodas built on the cliffs beside the river. We came to
one built on an island in the middle of the river--a boat shaped glass house, beautiful, but fragile looking. Inside, I could
see it was set up like a doctor's laboratory.
Interpretation: This dream speaks to me of my journey in the Lord: I will be used to check out the various churches,
working in the joy of the river of God's Spiritual outpouring, using a gift of discernment of spirits. I will explore the field of
medicine with great pleasure but will eventually find it is outdated for the purposes of God. Direct healing will be used
instead of medical skill. (This is very interesting as I am now in the process of applying to medical school).
Here is another Dream: I was invited by older, holy ladies to come see the interior of a beautiful mansion. It had white,
arching ceilings and walls, beautiful verdant green carpet, many rooms, and verandas. I wandered upstairs. In one room,
there were a group of Asian people all gathered around a table, planning diligently. One Philippine woman came out of
the room, and met her lover in an outer room. They kissed, then, hand in hand, went out onto the veranda. I could tell that
they loved their country, which they were looking out upon. Far down beneath them, I could see beautiful green rice
paddies, and people bending over, working in them. The couple began to sing a song of praise and thanksgiving as they
looked at the land. They loved their land so much, and were praying for it as they sang about it.
I now wandered back into the hallway, and found large, French glass doors which led into an elegant stairwell. A group of
school girls in uniform passed me on their way downstairs. I went into this elegant stairwell, and was amazed at how
beautiful and wide it was. Everything was decorated in white and green. Everything was elegant, yet I had a sense that
things were economical--there had been no waste in the usage of great wealth to make this mansion. I came to the
middle landing of the stairs, and there was a railing which allowed me to gaze down into the dining room below.
I could see a sumptuous table laid out, and the master was dining there as well. There were several tables set up all
around for the people, and the place settings were far apart. They were set with multiple pieces of silver at each plate--
you know, three forks, two knives, two spoons, the works. There was also a huge grand piano in the room, and wonderful
music filled the room. Then I looked at the people. They were white, middle-class. They all had a stiff, formal or wooden
air, and the same attitude about the provisions that people have in institutions--bare tolerance or even scorn for the food,
and definitely unthankfulness. My focus went to one family in particular--a mother, father, and son. The father was leaning
back, scornfully. As the master called everyone to rise for prayer, he rose insolently, and as he did I could see that he
was concealing a cigarette, which he was actually smoking during dinner in that fabulous place!
I was shocked and overwhelmed at their unthankfulness and base attitude, especially as they had so much and I, when
we had run the transition home, had saved every scrap and been very thankful for it. I wept and wept because of their
ungratefulness, and the master looked up at me. Seeing I was distressed, he sent his servants to comfort me as I
continued to weep and weep. As they came around me, I woke up. I was very distressed by this dream, and was down
for the entire morning. Yet I was comforted in the Spirit as well.
Interpretation: This dream is a symbol of the wedding supper of the lamb. It must be seen in reference to Matthew 22.
The mansion represents the kingdom of God, and the living church today. In the upper rooms were diligent Asians. I saw
that they were working hard. They loved their land and their people, and were close to their "lover" Christ. They will soon
go down to a well- deserved supper with the lamb in the elegant dining room. The white people I saw are the Europeans,
European-descended Christians such as north Americans, who have had so much for so long that they are no longer
thankful. They are scornful, and even as they partake in the riches of God, are committing secret sins. Seeing this scorn
caused me much distress, and I wept. Christ sent his servants to comfort me.
Immediately after waking up, this song was going through my mind:
"The river of God fills my mouth with laughter, the river of life fills my heart with cheer, the river of God sets my feet
advancing, and we rejoice, For the river is here!"
March, 1998: I had a Dream in the morning: I was in a beautiful stone church raised high up above the land. I lived there. I
was showing a young woman around this beautiful place, showing her the shining brass, the colored glass, the thick,
luxurious carpet, and the wonderful, wide stone balcony on which we could see the whole green, fertile land below. I took
her back inside and as we passed the closed door of the vicar's office, we could hear heavy breathing and the sounds of
fornication going on inside. I was quite embarrassed at this, and said to her something like "Don't worry. We'll soon take
care of this!"
I went into a small adjoining room and turned on a light switch, thinking, "Ha! We'll show you!" There was an immediate
commotion from behind the closed office door! A woman ran out and, coming into the small adjoining room, turned off the
light switch. Then she went back into the office, closed the door, and soon the sounds started up again.
"Ho ho" I thought gleefully, "You think that's going to solve the problem! We'll see about that!" Then I went back into the
small adjoining room, and looked into a window. I could see into the office, and saw a large pit inside which the man and
woman were fornicating (thinking they were not seen.) I didn't like what I was seeing--it was repugnant, and with great
satisfaction I turned on the light switch. This time, as I left the room, I locked the door from the inside and pulled it shut
after me as I went out. Now no one could turn off the light! It was permanently on, for good.
With a feeling of "Well, that unpleasantness has been taken care of," I took my young friend around to the front of the
church, where we could see wide, circular steps going down to the land below. To my surprise, there was a large fountain
of excellent, pure, delightful water splashing down like a river over the steps, spreading out to the land below! I was
musing on how to build a small, metal fence so that the children could safely play in the stream when I woke up!
Interpretation: this dream is a warning to foolish shepherds, and must be seen in reference to Ezekiel 34. God is in the
process of revealing the indiscretions of leaders in his church. This revelation and purification will be ruthless. Repent,
therefore, foolish pastors and assistants, before God's brilliant light exposes your deeds to the eyes of all men. The
church, the Bride, is to be pure! A further note: the day after having this dream, God sent a man to me who was closely
tied to the leadership of one of the prominent church movements in the south of the US. This dream was given by me
directly to him to take to the leadership as a serious warning. Truly God does not allow His words to fall to the ground!
A further dream has already been submitted, the Snow Dream. This dream shows that as times and trials intensify, so
also will the harvest intensify. Those who are diligent and joyful in the work of harvest will be prepared and will hardly feel
the coming hard times, but those who are unprepared will be troubled by the times even unto death. This warning is in
line with the parable of the wise and foolish virgins of Matthew 25.

I Was A Warrior
Bob Neuman
i was a warrior.
quick to rise and to go when the call went out.
to come against the attacks that came over and over.
trained with sword and shield, spear and sling i fought for wife and
children, family and friends. to stand between the living who held my
heart and those who would bring death that came against all that i
loved and held dear. so i was a warrior who fought when the need
arose, when the danger was present.
the warrior's heart is filled with that for which he stands in the midst
of battle. whatever loyalty was evident merely matched the present
danger, the enemy within sight, the destroyer that pressed the attack.
my heart went no farther than the threat that was seen, the evil perceived.
it was well to fight for my life in the midst of chaos. it was better to fight
against an enemy i knew who came to kill, to devour, to destroy.
so then the Captain came and called me out. he called me by name.

HE placed me in the battle line when i followed the voice of authority.
i had never heard a voice like HIS. so i listened. i believed. i obeyed.
i never imagined that there would come an attack greater than my
strength. stronger than a single warrior's heart could stand. so in less
than committed and willful obedience i learned the value of discipline
and unity. for as wave after wave the darkness fell upon the gallant and
the brave i watched as warrior after warrior fell. they too came to face
the threat of the enemy. they willingly placed themselves between the
innocent and the evil, the weak and the ruthless. but they would not
stand under authority. they would not stand with those with like heart
and purpose. for the greatest enemy they did not see for it was within
them. and PRIDE always destroys from inside. and i watched as each
fell, but not to a stronger foe or one with greater skill. but to time and
exhaustion as they fought alone and in their own strength.
the mighty man, trained for battle and experienced in war is still but
one warrior, alone and steadfast. unlimited skill and courage will
withstand attacks and assaults, but only for a time and not for a season.
[in the day of battle he comes and the heart of a warrior will carry any
single day. but in a campaign of attrition the lone warrior falls as he
fought, alone and unnoticed.
courage and valor, skill and cunning are the tools of the warrior whose
own hand must carry the day. and i was a warrior.
and there was a Captain who came, stronger and wiser, who said
"STAND WITH ME AND THE DAY IS OURS !"
and i stood on the GREAT DAY of BATTLE under HIS BANNER. as
the waves of darkness crashed against the defenders of LIFE each wave
receded only to regroup and to storm again against us. and i watched
as the lone warriors slowly fell one by one...
as the day progressed and the battle reached it's heights the position
of the Captain held over and over until only the Captain's battle line
stood between the living and those who came to kill, steal, and destroy.
the Captain stood alongside me in the front of the line. HIS PRESENCE
and HIS COURAGE giving all who stood with HIM both strength and
purpose. as the battle reached it's peak HE turned and to face us.
"IT IS TIME TO FINISH THIS, IT IS TIME TO OVERCOME."
HE shouted with a laugh.
"FOLLOW ME AND I WILL LEAD YOU BEYOND THIS BATTLE!".
and as one all who had stood began to march against the enemy and the
VOICE of the Captain was heard above the battle's roar. HIS laugh echoing
through the ranks as HE started to sing. and as HIS SONG filled my ears
and merged my heart and mind and spirit i began to sing HIS SONG.
and that was when the change occurred. no longer was HE the Captain,
for from that point HE BECAME MY CAPTAIN. and i knew never again
would i fight alone. and no other would i follow. under HIS BANNER alone
would i stand. suddenly the enemy whose numbers and strength seemed
so great and so relentless stood in terror before HIS BANNER. for MY
CAPTAIN'S SONG, the VICTORY SONG OF THE KING OF KINGS filled
all of creation as HE crushed the enemy's battleline and rolled their flanks.
HIS LAUGHTER AND HIS SONG devastated and annihilated all that stood
against HIM.
and i stood beside HIM below HIS BANNER. GREAT AND TERRIBLE was
MY CAPTAIN before me whose sword and shield moved like lightening in the
night. and HIS VOICE thundered as HIS SONG was sung and HIS ORDERS
rang out in the Day of Battle.
i was a warrior, but now i am a soldier.

a warrior quick and cunning, skilled and strong...
but now i am a soldier of the KING.
no longer do i fight my battle in my own strength, but i fight HIS BATTLES
under HIS BANNER with HIS STRENGTH and with HIS SONG. never again
do i fight alone, no longer do i wait for the enemy's attack. for i only fight the
battles MY CAPTAIN chooses, and for HIS OBJECTIVES, and for HIS GLORY.
for i am a Soldier of the KING....

under HIS AUTHORITY and in HIS NAME will i march and will i stand.
by HIS WILL alone do i come and do i go.
under HIS COMMAND i have learned the importance of discipline and the
purpose of unity. at HIS SIDE i have learned the importance of submission...
a warrior's heart still beats in my chest, but it is MY CAPTAIN'S COMMANDS

that focuses my mind and HIS SONG that fills my spirit.
unto MY CAPTAIN WHO IS MY KING do i pledge my life...

and to HIM ALONE i bow my knee.

What is "The Church"?

(and what isn't?)
Jim Wies
The Church is in major transition. Most people know that the Church as it has been, is neither satisfactory to God nor
adequate to the task before us in these closing days of this present dispensation. Meanwhile, world population is
presenting the possibility for a larger harvest of souls than has even been seen in the cumulative total of the previous
2,000 years. Advances in technology, communications, travel, education, etc., are pressing us to radically change our
entire approach to spreading the Gospel and the way we do "Church".
At the same time, since so many are becoming discontented with the status quo and recognizing the need to change,
we also find ourselves at a place of unique vulnerability to changing things in a wrong direction. In many cases the
traditional Church has become dead and lifeless; yet the reaction is often just as disconcerting, as people leave the
traditional churches and spin off into maverick expressions of disorganized independence, hardly useful to the Lord's
overall Kingdom purposes.
It is my opinion that both the traditional ecclesiology and the some of the consequent reactions that are emerging in
many quarters are both wrong. I propose that we entertain the possibility that some of what is being called the Church is
in fact not the Church, when held to the plumb line of Scripture. A return to the scriptural blueprint is what is needed. It is
important to state at this point that does not imply a return to a first century pattern but rather an fresh examination of the
Scripture for that which is universal and timeless and can be pragmatically applied to this resent hour. We need a 21st
century pattern rooted in the universal truths of Scripture concerning the Biblical definition of Church.
So how does the Scripture define this wondrous thing called the Church? Some would define it as the universal collective
membership of all true believers in Jesus. In fact Jesus implied that when He stated He would build His church,
(singular). Matt. 16:18. We need to see all true believers as part of God's family. The fact is however, Jesus only
mentioned the Church one other place in the gospels (Matt.18) and the implication in this case was that it was a
definable local group of believers; so much so that there was a clearly definable ex-communication. He then very clearly
states a plural version "Churches" in His words to John in the book of Revelation (Chapters 2&3).
The Epistles then develop the theme of the Church, where we find either "Church" or "churches" mentioned over 100
times. So, while there is one dimension of truth to the universal church concept, there is just as strong an implication
that there are just as clearly singular local expressions of the church that are independent, stand alone churches. These
are defined in Scripture in terms of geographically configured, local churches. (Acts 9:31 Then the churches throughout
all Judea,.... 1 Cor 16:19 The churches of Asia greet you... etc.)
Now the question is, "Does every gathering of Christians constitute a Church according to God's definition of things?"
Some who have discarded the organized church, claim for themselves the Scripture from Matt. 18:20 stating "For where
two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." It is important to note, however, that
Scripture was not meant to be a teaching about the nature of the Church, and in fact it is specifically in the context of
instructions about praying. However, from this has come an entire movement of people supposing that their small home
meetings are actually a Church. They may be, but again they may not be. We must be cautious to not over simplify
something that an examination of Scripture reveals as a bit more complex. I propose there are other factors (factors that
are quite apart from the numbers) by which we determine if a gathering is, in fact, a church according to the Scripture, or
not.
Let's look specifically at some scriptural descriptions of the Church. The following are 7 analogies commonly portrayed in
Scripture that give us insight into the nature of the Church.
A Sheepfold
A Family
A Vine
A Bride
An Army
A Spiritual Building
A Body.
The church as a SHEEPFOLD... With Jesus as the door to the sheepfold and the shepherd of the sheep. (John 10:1-18)
Relational focus: toward God and the personal nature of our relationship with Him. This analogy speaks to us of
belonging and protection. Scripture teaches a very clear membership to the Church. You are clearly in or clearly out. To
be in is a place of protection and safety.
The church as a FAMILY... With God as our Father, Jesus our elder brother, and we as brothers and sisters. "But as
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God," John 1:12 (also Matt 6:9; Eph 2:19; 3:14-
15; Heb. 12:5-9 etc..) Relational focus: Primarily toward God the Father and our relationship with Him; secondarily one
another. This speaks to issues of relationship, fatherhood, and discipline.
The church as a VINE... With Jesus as the vine and we as the branches. (John 15:1-17) Relational focus: toward Jesus
and our relationship with Him on an ongoing basis. This speaks of fruitfulness through being connected (and staying
connected) to Him.
The church as a BRIDE.. with Jesus as the bridegroom. (Eph. 5:22-32; Rev. 19:7,8) Relational focus: toward Jesus and
our corporate relationship with Him. This speaks of love, affection, devotion, loyalty and covenant.
The church as an ARMY... With God as the Captain of the Hosts. (2 Tim. 2:3-7; 2 Cor. 10:3&4; Eph. 6:10-18; Lk.
10:18&19; Rev.12:9-12 etc..) Relational focus: our adversary. This picture speaks of spiritual objectives, order, rank and
authority.
The first four pictures of the church primarily focus on our relationship with God. The Church as an army deals primarily
with our relationship to our adversary. The last two primarily focus on our relationships with one another. These remaining
two give us insight into how the Church ought to be connected to one another. These are the areas I want to expand a
little deeper into.
The church as a spiritual BUILDING... With Jesus as the Cornerstone; the key frame of reference; the plumb line from
which the rest of the building is constructed. Relational focus: toward one another and toward the foundation of the
building. This picture speaks to issues of the connectedness and structure of the building, and the unique worship
experience that is found there.
"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the
household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief
corner stone, in whom the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also
are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit." Eph 2:19-22
"Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living
stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame." 1 Pet 2:4-6
Being "joined together" and "built together" into a dwelling of God simply means we are "connected" by relationship with
one another. And God insists that we be rightly related to one another. The Scriptures such as 1 John 2:9-11 imply that if
we want to stay in right relationship with God, we must be about the work of maintaining a right relationship with our
brothers and sisters in Christ. This means the task of building and maintaining right relationships is not an optional
sideline but rather an essential ingredient of our Christian life. In fact, God is so concerned that we be rightly related to
one another that He has inextricably connected His dealings with us to our dealings with one another. For instance, if we
don't forgive others, He will not forgive us (Mk. 11:25,26). The entire law and prophets are summarized in Matthew 22:37-
40 as our being rightly related to God and to one another.
When we are gathered together in right relationship to one another there is a setting for worship that is pleasing to the
Lord according to 1 Pet. 2:5. When we get the pattern right, there dwells a unique or special manifestation of God's
presence. (note: Ex. 29:43-46)
So in order for a building to be built, each brick must fit into its proper place and "connect" to the other bricks. The mortar
is love and commitment. It also necessitates a proper foundation. Being rightly related speaks as well to the issue of
proper structure and government within the Church. Being rightly fitted and held together includes understanding how to
relate to spiritual authority and how to properly exercise spiritual authority.
Since Scripture states that the Church is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, (Eph.2:20) we are wise to
recognize their value and place in relation to the local Church. Any builder knows you are foolish to build a great edifice
on a faulty or nonexistent foundation. It will eventually sag and fall. Scripture plainly states apostles and prophets are that
foundation.
Now I would not argue for a moment with anyone who points to that statement as a reference to the prophetically and
apostolically originated Scriptures. The Holy Scripture certainly holds a unique place for us and serves as an apostolic
blueprint for the building. I do however, believe that apostolic and prophetic foundations ALSO include present day
apostolic and prophetic people who themselves are foundational in the building - who's contribution serves to insure the
blueprint is followed and proper foundations are laid for the kind of Church God wants.
You may by now be realizing where I'm going with this analogy. How many faulty "buildings" do we have, due to the lack
of apostolic and prophetic input either resident within or fed trans-locally into local churches? Many of the existing
"structures" were build on the foundation of a strong teaching ministry, or a strong evangelistic ministry, or even a strong
pastoral ministry. But if we want to experience a fully functioning New Testament Church as we turn the corner into the
21st century, we will have to fully embrace the entire "five-fold" leadership team of apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors and teachers. One of the vital issues of the Church in this hour is destined to be how to properly build fully
functioning team ministry and/or relate to trans-local government within the Body of Christ.
The Church as a BODY.... with Jesus as the Head. Relational focus: toward one another - our connectedness and our
function.
" And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the
fullness of Him who fills all in all. Eph 1:22-23
"For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many,
are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Rom 12:4-5
"For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not of the
body," is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body," is it
therefore not of the body?... If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where
would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.... "And
the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you. No, much
rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary." 1 Cor 12:14-18,21,22
"Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles,
second prophets... etc., " 1 Cor 12:27-28
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the
equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the
faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that
we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in
the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the
head-- Christ-- from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective
working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Eph 4:11-16
We know that God is raising an entire generation of saints who will volunteer freely in the day of His power to do the work
of the ministry. If the Church is a Body, every member is meant to have a function. No longer will the work be left to a few
"professional" ministers, but rather, God wants a leadership who will be busy about the task of equipping the saints to do
the work of the ministry. Most of the people I've known who want to de-emphasis "official leadership" in the church, or
some how "blur" the demarcation between "leaders" and "members", seem to be doing it out of a commendable and valid
motive to press the emphasis toward every member as a minister. God does want every member to be equipped,
activated and functioning. But if this is true, then someone has to train them. <grin> Actually we need both; saints who
will be ministers, and leaders who will train them.
Now lets look at another angle of this analogy and go back to the initial question of "What is 'the Church' -- and what
isn't?" If we can be-labor the "body parts" analogy as Paul does, lets think for a moment about what makes a living,
viable body. There are quite a few functional body parts and a few vital body parts. God himself put the five-fold ministry
"body parts" in the body and they are the vital organs.
This creates a series of questions for me. "Can a body be missing body parts and still live?" "Will it be hindered in its
functionality but still be a living body?" "Which body parts are valuable to have but not necessary for survival?" "Are there
certain body parts like vital organs, without which it is not a living body.. or will swiftly die? "Can you pile a few arms, feet
and a leg or two together and call it a living body?" Of course a body can be missing a foot and it will be handicapped but
still live. But it cannot survive without a heart.. or a liver, etc. And of course not every "pile" of "body parts" is the Church.
Here is what we have begun to see. Not only has the eye said to the hand... "I have no need of you"; but all kinds of body
parts have been saying "I have no need of you" to the very vital organs God Himself has set in the Body. The reality is,
independence and isolation are sure signs of unhealthiness or immaturity. Prov. 18:1 states "He who separates himself
is seeking his own desire and is quarreling against sound wisdom." Instead we are to "Grow up in all aspects into...
Christ... from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by that which every joint supplies, according to the
proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love (Eph.4:15,16).
Let me get more specific. Having been part of and around the home cell movement for over twenty years, I have noted
that cells that either have within them or are connected to "five-fold ministry" vital organs, live and are fruitful. Those who
are not will either drift apart or worse; degenerate into a sick, introspective, unproductive cancer cells. Strong words.
I also believe that as we see the culmination of the ages and the glorious church emerging, it will be a church that is
moving in apostolic power and structure, prophetic clarity, evangelistic fervor, pastoral care and nurture, and be fed on
insight and understanding from the teaching ministries in the church. But it MUST be corporate or it just won't happen.

Watchman, What Of The Night?

Bryan Hupperts
Hi, Sheep Trax!
A Watchman in Biblical times was a guard who stood on the city walls watching the distant horizons for danger. When
someone would approach the fortified city, he would send word to the king. He was the eyes and ears of the city in the
sense that his often-lonely task was to stand watch, guarding over the city. In times of war, the watchman who stood on
the walls at nigh looked forward to the daybreak because in the light an attacker couldn't easily surprise him.
Ezekiel 3:17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word
from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me."
A Watchman of the Lord is one who is appointed to the task of seeking the Lord continually to discern his heart and find
out, through prayer and meditation on his Word, his will for his people. If the people dance or play, the watchmen still
stands guard as eyes and ears watching over the city. Day or night, darkness or light, he stands vigilant on his watch.
In the military when a soldier on watch falls asleep, he can be imprisoned and court martialed for dereliction of duty. The
other soldiers, and the country they serve, depend upon him for their security and safety.
Where are the watchmen in the church?
Isaiah 21:6 says, "For thus the Lord said to me: 'Go, set a watchman, let him announce what he sees.'"
This is what I see coming to the Western church: a time of great suffering and hardship coming with the glory of the Lord
falling upon His people. I see the impending failure of false ear-tickling messages and money-oriented ministries while the
hand of God comes upon the "unqualified" (often young kids) who are lowly and humble of heart to perform miracles and
do exploits. I see rage in the faces of those who have built manmade religious empires as their work crumbles into
financial decay - while they curse the God they profess to serve.
I see also so many of the Madison Avenue church growth strategies that have brought large numbers of people to church
but so few to Christ falling away as wood, hay, and stubble. I see a revival of righteousness coming and the fear of the
Lord being raised up as our standard. I see the profession of the clergy becoming a life-risking, dangerous job - and this
will separate the Shepherds from the hirelings. Only men whose hearts are really the Lords will dare preach in His name.
I see also a revival birthed in prayer that will thrive by prayer and if it fails, it shall be for the want of prayer.
Watchmen are not professional entertainers who tell jokes from high atop their post. They do not serve at the whim of the
people. Popular or not, they discern the word of the Lord and then faithfully deliver it.
Jeremiah 6:17 states, "I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Give heed to the sound of the trumpet!' But they
said, 'We will not give heed.'"
If the people will heed it or not, the watchman is honor bound to speak the whole counsel of God. He traffics in Truth, not
popular opinion.
Watchmen are those who fully give themselves to the Lord. They can be pastors or housewives, evangelists or
mechanics. The cult of human personality in the Western church will be judged and we will again know each other after
the Spirit. Remember that Moses' brother Aaron could speak well, but when the people pressured him, he buckled to
their desires and built them their golden calf to worship. Great oratory is not necessarily a gift of the spirit. Moses, who
couldn't speak well, spoke and acted with God's authority and that was all he needed. Moses had to stand against an
entire nation, and stand the gap for them with the Lord who was angry enough to kill them all and start over.
Servant leaders often find themselves in such circumstances.
While the Laodicean church is having a party, the Josephs who fear God are preparing for the famine to come by filling
theirs hearts with His Word. In spite of our booming economy and the current financial prosperity, great distress is
coming to the western world. Our economic system will collapse. Will we panic with the world or walk in the assurance
of the Lord?
Those who mock such dire warnings will soon be asking, Isaiah 21:11, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what
of the night?"
Be faithful and speak the whole heart of God.
God's grace,

Weeping in the Fields

By: Steve Hill
Many pastors and ministers today are talking about revival. "We want to bring in the harvest," they say. But what will it
take for us to reap the results of our labors?
In the Psalms we find a text that, I believe, shows us the key. It is the key to unfolding the mysteries of spiritual harvest
in our time: "He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him" (Ps. 126:6, NKJV).
The evidence rings loud and clear: Wept-out sermons produce a bountiful harvest. Just as earthly showers soften dry
ground, so tears soften hearers' hearts. And as we toss seeds of truth on the freshly moistened soil, we witness a
remarkable occurrence: New life begins to spring forth!
The Weeping Sower
Matthew Henry has said: "There are tears which are themselves the seed that we must sow; tears of sorrow for sin, our
own and others'; tears of sympathy with the afflicted church; and tears of tenderness in prayer and under the Word."
As ministers, we need to take a look at what I call "the weeping sower." You may ask: "Why would a sower or farmer
weep? Shouldn't sowing be a time of great expectation? Why would he weep over the seeds?"
A study of the lives of those who carved their living from the hard, rocky soil of the earth provides the answer. The farmer
in ancient Palestine frequently had to sow his seeds with an armed man attending him to prevent him from being robbed
of his seed.
And in seasons of great scarcity, poor peasants parted sorrowfully with every measure of precious seed they cast into
the ground. It was like taking bread out of the mouths of their children, and in such times many bitter tears were actually
shed over it.
As a sower of the precious seed of God, I find that I must first take a good look at the soil. I walk across the heartland,
inspecting it, and the Lord is always faithful to reveal its character. Later, as I preach, the reactions on faces often reveal
the conditions of the heart.
I've trod on land that is both rocky and worn. Some heartland has had too much growing on it for too long. But within a
few moments of tearful preaching, much of that soil begins to moisten. Heaven-sent nutrients begin to fall, giving new
hope to the barren land.
Often the Word of God comes like an earthquake, shaking the spiritual soil of listening hearts. A little shaking begins to
uncover the rocks and stones, and now the work of removal begins. I might remove a stumbling block of doubt by sharing
stories of miraculous healings. A boulder of disbelief melts in the Lord's presence.
Now comes the time of working the soil; the sin-baked crust of the heart must be turned. My tears fall, moistening the
desert land. Soon the gospel plow moves in. Furrows are dug, and the valuable seed is dropped into them.
My weeping continues. Delivering the Word of God often overwhelms me. Like the farmers of old who wept over their
precious seeds, I often feel a tremendous loss.
Will there be fruit? Am I casting my pearls before swine? God promised, "My Word will not return void." Will I see the
harvest, or will one who comes after me benefit from all this work? Dear God, all I ask is that Your fruit remain.
Compassion for the Lost
I feel the toil of the harvest every time I step into a park to preach. The work began in the closet; now on any street corner
or plaza the war is raging, and the battle is white-hot. The sins of the world beat down like the hot sun at midday. The
winds of adversity blow across the field.
We are battling the elements of man's carnal nature; the world, the flesh and the devil are poised to kill the first signs of
new life. "We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph. 6:12).
As some hearers slump deeper into despondency, a familiar passage from Genesis comes to mind: "And the Lord said,
'My Spirit shall not strive with man forever'" (Gen. 6:3). I wonder: How long can we expect the Lord to continue? What
more does He have to do? A little more wooing? A little more gentleness?
Yet, the voice of God comes to me in such moments and says, "Be careful, Steve. Those who seem so adamant against
Me are actually the closest."
My mind goes back to the hard soil of my own heart. My heart was solid as bedrock; the topsoil was destroyed. My life
had been devastated by the ravages of sinful locusts.
Then like an angel of the Lord, a broken man filled with the Spirit of God came into my life. He was not there to condemn
me but to show compassion. Within minutes of meeting him I was kneeling at the cross.
Then came the blessed promise spoken through Joel: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten"
(Joel 2:25). Not only was the Lord saving me, but now He was going to heal my heartland.
My life would be soaked in a heavenly downpour. Fruit would begin to grow; life would sprout from my once barren, rock-
hard soil.
As I remember those days, a new surge of the Savior's love pours forth from my heart for the hardened sinner. Maybe
there's hope; there had been for me. Tears flow.
The word compassion means to "suffer together." As someone once said, "Empathy is your pain in my heart." I may not
know their names, but I can feel their pain.
And the plowing and sowing continue. Tears soak the people's hardened hearts as they listen to someone who cares.
Boldness and Compassion
What might seem strong words to some brings healing to others. There must be boldness and fervency on my part.
Weeping in the fields is for men and women of God, not for spiritual jellyfish. God does not cater to cowards. "For
whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be
ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels" (Mark 8:38).
When I think of boldness, I am reminded of the thousands of cult missionaries around the world. We meet them on the
streets in every nation. The sad truth is that most of us are dumbfounded at the rapid growth of cults within our society.
Could it be that these cultists have shown compassion and we have not?
In his study, "The People's Religion: American Faith in the Nineties," George Gallup Jr. gives two main reasons people
are attracted to cults. These should act as a wake-up call to the church of Jesus Christ: (1) the need for leadership and a
father figure; and (2) unhappy lives and a feeling of hopelessness. Other reasons include the need for deeper meaning in
life and the failure of churches to answer spiritual needs.
It should come as no surprise that the first two reasons people join cults have nothing to do with doctrine and everything
to do with a desire for fellowship and care. That is all the more reason for Christians to take on the compassion of the
Lord. People are willing to follow someone who cares. Lost humanity is ready to give in to someone who truly gives out.
The old saying is true: "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
G.D. Watson, a great holiness preacher born in Virginia in 1845, offers us the following understanding: "No sinner can be
made to weep by a mere, cold, formal sight of his sins. Mount Sinai made the Jews tremble, but it did not make them
weep. And so the denunciation of sin, or the portrayal of it, can never of itself produce penitential tears.
"It is only when the sins are seen under the soft, melting Light of infinite pity and love that the heart is broken and the
tears flow. Law may reveal sin, but nothing in the universe except love will make a man hate his sins. Water may be
locked up in ice, but you cannot drink it till it is melted, and it takes the warmth of the tenderest love to bring forth the
waters of repentance."
Dripping Sermons
We must come to the place where we grieve if, in our labors, we do not see others come to the Lord. We should grieve
and mourn over their spiritual blindness and death. As a farmer would weep over an unfruitful harvest, we should likewise
shed tears over empty silos.
One of England's greatest evangelists carried the burden of the Lord to America. George Whitefield's compassion often
moved him to tears. In his biography of Whitefield, Joseph Belcher wrote:
"As he opened up the treasures of God's infinite mercy and the riches of redeeming love to their view, he wept to think
how long they had been unknown or despised by many, and with what base ingratitude thousands would probably still
turn away from them. As one who saw their immortal being in jeopardy, and their souls standing on the verge of
irretrievable ruin, he hastened, with joy in his countenance and tenderness in his heart, to tell them of One who was
'mighty to save,' and that 'now was the accepted time, and now the day of salvation.'
"He carried the weight of the Great Commission and knew the worth of never-dying souls. The evil of sin, the danger of
impenitence, the powers of the world to come, the glories of heaven and the unutterable miseries of the regions of hell
were visibly present to his own mind. He could not be calm; he could not be apathetic on such themes as these. With
much of the melting tenderness of Him who wept over Jerusalem, he spoke of these things to all [who] resorted to him.
His vivid eye beamed with the glow of tenderness, and his tears, as he spoke, oft-times moistened his little Bible or
bedewed the ground. The place in which he stood was a Bochim--a place of weeping."
Like Whitefield, we must make compassionate contact with our eyes. People must not only hear our sermon but see it
dripping down our faces.
It was said of D.L. Moody that he never referred to hell without tears in his voice. He understood the language of tears.
Our cries in the secret closet of prayer must transport us on a river of tears to the cries of the lost.
I challenge you to ask yourself these questions:

* Does God want me as a weeping worker in His fields?
* Am I willing to pay the price for the harvest?
* Will I give up my most precious seeds and patiently wait for winter to pass?
* Will I labor as unto the Lord of the harvest?
"Speak every time, my dear brother, as if it were your last," said George Whitefield. "Weep out, if possible, every
argument, and compel them to cry, 'Behold, how He loves us.'"
"Weep in the fields!" I hear the Lord of the harvest cry. The Scripture holds the key: "He who continually goes forth
weeping, bearing seeds for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" (Ps.
126:6).*

Revelation on Intercession
Wendy Schumacher
WENDY'S REVELATION
Over the last couple of weeks, The Lord has been showing me how to pray against the religious spirit which is hindering
revival in our area. He asked me to begin to pray against the religious spirit, and as I began to pray fervently against it,
The Lord showed me how He wanted to crush it underneath His feet. I saw Him crushing the religious spirit under His
feet, grinding it to powder. As He was crushing it, I saw Him take a deep breath and just blow it and disperse it into the
wind. At that point He told me also that I needed deliverance from religious ways.
As I began to pray, He showed me that I needed to ask for a revelation of His holiness and that He would begin to reveal
to me everything that was separating me from Him; that I has been permeated for so long by religion that I was at the
point where I couldn't really tell, and that I was deceived by the religion. As I began to pray that the Lord would reveal
anything that separated me from Him, He began to reveal that I was holding judgement toward the people, people in the
church. He asked me to stop pointing the finger. He said if I would stop pointing the finger, and begin to confess my sin
of judgement, that He would begin to reveal to me religious ways and that He would begin to crush them in me. He told
me that those who had been praying, and those who had been interceding, that this is His desire: for Him to crush that
religious spirit first within those people who have been crying out for deliverance, and who have been crying out for revival
and who have been interceding for Him to move. He said that He first needed to do this within those people who were
interceding.
As He brought this to me, He told me that He wanted me to begin to prophesy life to the church. He asked to bring the
message that "of course these bones can live". He began to say that He wanted me to tell the people what they will
begin to do in His Name. He wanted me to tell them of the things that He longed to do and that He was indeed going to
do, through His Holy Spirit; that He was going to bring power in His Name, and that He was going to breathe life in the
dry bones. That He going to cause great things to happen through the Holy Spirit, that He was going to bring repentance
and a revelation of His Holiness. At this time I also saw that the Lord wanted us, especially those of us who have been
praying for this, not to seek the manifestation or not to look to any man, but to constantly focus on The Father's face. He
said if we would begin to do this, to focus only on Him and on His face, we would begin to see the great things around
us, and that we indeed would be right in the middle of God's sovereign move. He's asking us who are seeking this great
move of God; to first turn to Him, and to seek His face, and ask for revelation of His holiness and to seek a deliverance
from any religion that is left in us.
He showed me that there's many of us who think that we've gone past the religion, but that the pointing of the finger and
the judgement toward His bride is indeed a form of religion; that we're holding on to many forms of religion at this time.
He's asking us to remove the pointing of the finger and the judgement toward His bride, and He's longing to do this, and
He's longing to place His heart within ours. He's longing for our hearts to be broken for those who have been robbed of
love and intimacy and the revelation of God's holiness.
God is also asking us to see His people in a different way, to look at them through His eyes, and He will indeed give us
the love that we need to bring this message of breathing life into these dry bones. I believe this is the message He really
wants us to bring as prophetic people, to go forth and to literally speak life into these dry bones.
I believe the Lord is also calling us when we see things within the church, and our brothers and sisters, and we see
hardness or coldness, or hearts that just aren't broken; or we see things that we know are wrong, that we are to come to
The Lord Jesus and we are to ask Him to first forgive us, because what we are seeing is a reflection of ourselves. We
need to ask forgiveness, on our behalf and their behalf. What He wants to do is to bring a total restoration where we are
not focused on the sins of those around us but we are focused on The Father's face.

Western Martyrs In the Coming Days

Bryan Hupperts
August 31, 1998
The Gospel in the West has sadly been preached from a largely "what's in it for me?" approach which has produced a
mutant fruit of intense selfishness, especially in the American church. So often we willingly seek after kingdom blessing
while we find isolated Bible verses to "claim" in order to shirk our personal kingdom responsibilities. This century has
also produced more martyrs than perhaps all centuries combined and, up till now, the Western has largely escaped the
sword.
I sense by the Spirit of God that that will shortly change. Martyrdom is coming to the Western church.
Recently I was speaking to a mother of several children all of whom love the Lord. I was ignorant of the fact that her son
had just returned from a short-term missions trip to Mexico. I was sharing with her that the word of the Lord to the
American church is to prepare to embrace suffering. We had better count the cost and prepare to lay our lives down for
our testimony of Jesus. In a vision, I saw a wave of martyrs filling the throne room of God from the Western church. I saw
many young people going into the high, low, and hard places of the earth being led like lambs to the slaughter for their
testimony of Jesus.
As I described this, I saw a flash in her eyes - one of intense struggle between being a mom who loved her kids and
being a believer who loved her Lord. As quickly as the look rose, it passed and she said in a quiet resolve, "If my children
must fall, then let them fall for the Lord and not fall to the world." All I could say was Amen.
Abraham was called to lay down his son's life on the mountain of sacrifice. God mercifully intervened and restored Isaac
to him. There are many times when God will save Isaac - but there are also times when Isaac will die in God's service.
When such times occur, you have to ask if God really cares. "Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His
saints." Psalms 116:15.
The clarion call to martyrdom is clear. Mark 8:34. "And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to
them, 'If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'" This may only mean
that we are dead to this present world but it can sometimes mean we will lose our lives in Christ's service.
My son nearly died in a horrifying asthma attack a few years ago and I finally realized that if he wasn't safe in God's
hands, he wasn't safe anywhere. And I tearfully, fully released him to Jesus…and Jesus gave him back to me so that I
could raise a man of God. Live or die, he is now the Lord's.
If real economic or military persecution comes to the American church, what will our response be? Will we obey Romans
12:12? "Rejoice in your hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Or will we walk out James 1:2? "Count it
all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials." What will you say when God our Father ordains that the horrors of
Revelation 13:7 finally come to pass? "Also it (the devil) was given authority to make war on the saints and to wear them
out."
An apostate church will arise, and indeed is arising in these last days. Revelation 17:6 says, "And I saw the woman,
drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly." These
sobering promises from the Word of God are as equally true as every blessing scripture ever quoted. And yet, according
to Romans 8:35. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Who will embrace the full counsel of God and lay claim to these promises - if God
should so will?
We in the West so often equate the blessing of God with having money. In our carnal thinking, no money equals no
blessing. This is theological hogwash! We need to ask the Holy Spirit to birth eternal values in our hearts so that we
might be useful servants to the Lord. We need to come to a place of surrender where whether we are abased or
abounding, live or die, we are fully the Lord's. 1 Peter 1:6. "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have
to suffer various trials."
It's an academic exercise to discuss laying down your life in Christ's cause. It's quite another thing entirely facing a
machine gun or knife and being told to either renounce your faith or die. Do you really think it won't happen here in the
West? I grant you there is no romance in being tortured and killed. And the very real possibilities are increasing that, in
the coming harvest, people you and I know will die for their testimony of Jesus. It might even be you or I; or our kids.
Most of the Apostles died martyr's deaths. James was beheaded. Thomas was run through with spears in India. Peter
was crucified upside down. Paul was a prisoner and was finally beheaded before a pagan king. If these disciples paid the
ultimate price, then why not us? I've heard heretical Bible teachers claim that these men and women died needlessly
because they didn't use "proper Word confession." I'll be curious to see how many of them stand in the day of darkness.
I suspect most of them will fall because they serve they serve God according to their own desires and dictates and not
according to His will.
When the Holy Spirit began to deal with me about being a prophet to the nations, I had horrid images of being shipped off
to an unpronounceable country, getting lost in a tiger infested jungle, and finally being eaten by cannibals who'd never
tasted white meat before. When pressed by the Spirit for an answer to his call to service, I blurted out, "But if I go and
die, who will preach my funeral?"
It was a limp, lame excuse but it was all I could think to say.
His whispered reply: "When you were water baptized into my death, that was your funeral. As you were raised
out of the water, so I shall raise you again to rule and reign with me forever. Follow me!" 2 Timothy 2:11. "The
saying is sure: If we have died with him, we shall also live with him."
Keith Green used to sing a song about pledging our heads to heaven for the Gospel…because it might cost us our
heads. I pray that no one suffers all the while knowing that many young people, with promising as yet unfulfilled lives
(according to human standards) are doing to suffer martyrdom. Christian parents, look at what Abraham did in faith,
(since his blessings rest on you), and surrender your children to the Lord and then trust Him for His guidance. Loving
anyone or anything before God is idolatry.
The point of living is not to die with the most toys, but to find the will of God and do it in your generation. God will strip
away the "flesh" from His body when persecutions against the Body occur and a pure Bride will emerge. This has
happened in many oppressed countries that are now experiencing real revival. All of the carnal, selfish, ear-tickling
teachings in the Western church that deny the reality suffering and tribulation for the saints will be exposed for the
spiritually bankrupt lies they are. God will cull a remnant of disciples for Himself who will live and die for His glory.
Jesus promised that in this world we would have trouble. If the world hates Him, the Creator and sustainer of all, then
they will hate us as well. But we can rejoice because He overcame the world!
Paul wrote that if we give out bodies to the flames (martyrdom) but have not love, it profits us nothing. Let us seek Love
Himself, and fall in love with Him, delighting to do His will. I pray a hedge of protection about His people, and I trust that
He is too kind, and too wise, to ever allow a mistake. Live or die, we and our children are the Lord's.
It used to be said that if you can only read two books, choose the Bible and Foxe's Book of Martyrs. I would encourage
anyone to do this as well. We need to be sober, and prayerful in the coming days. The call for the final harvest is going
out and God is raising up an army of largely young people who will complete the task. May they live, and if need be, die,
for the glory of God. I do not want my son to die as a martyr, but if it should happen, then may his blood be seed for
revival.
We have been given the single task to preach this Gospel to the ends of the earth. All of the offices and gifts of the Spirit
are given to accomplish this. May it be fulfilled in our generation.
Finally, have you pledged your head to heaven for the Gospel? Are you willing to wear a martyr's crown?
[In a follow up post Bryan wrote:]

Yesterday I wrote about the coming wave of martyrdom in the Western church. As usual, when I write prophetically,
people get offended and a few Unsubscribe. The martyrdom post was no exception. I can only weep at the truth and say
Amen. This is what the Spirit showed me and I have to be true to my calling and share fully the whole counsel of God.
The calling of a prophet is to speak the heart of God. Sometimes that involves revealing future events but usually it
involved in speaking Truth into present situations. I have many pastors who use my web writings to get direction on what
to preach and to find new directions to minister. The prophet is in many ways the eyes and ears of the church.
Here is a word of wisdom for all that wrestled with the possibility to facing martyrdom. Many, many people wrote me and
said they weren't sure they could endure such a trial. I took these fears in prayer to the Lord and here is his answer:
"Fully surrender your heart to me and Follow Me! and if that day should come for you to wear a martyr's
crown, if your heart has fully followed me, your body will follow as well. Don't fear him who can only kill the
body."
Be comforted and rest in the God's grace. Daddy knows.

Words For 1999

Joni Ames
The number One is the number for God. There is only ONE true God, and I believe that as we head
into 1999, all the world will begin to realize that and that His Word is true. He is number One; the
beginning (Alpha) - and the end (Omega).
Nine is the number of the Holy Spirit and of Harvest. - There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit (I Cor.
12:8-10: Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Discerning of Spirits, Tongues and
Intrepretation of Tongues) and nine fruits of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23: Love, Joy, Peace,
Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control).
That there are THREE nines in the year 1999 is significant - signifying that under ONE Godhead,
there is coming fruitful unity of the TRINITY forth in the lives of those submitted to the Lord.
1999 will be a year of rude awakenings for both the Christian church and the world. We who are in the
church will be tested with the question Jesus Christ, Himself, asked His own disciples, "Who do YOU
say that I am?" The World will be asked the same question, and there will be a call into Harvest as
never before, and yet in times soon to come, those responding will be severely tested. Truly, as the
Word promises, "Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."
The devil; Satan; Lucifer has for a long time been battling the youth by splitting up homes, causing
children to be raised fatherless, because he (the devil) was kicked out of heaven and he is fatherless.
This year will be the beginning of those children beginning to realize and come out of that lie and turn
to their Heavenly Father. I see youth marches and rallies that are born of the youth that will bring many
- even many adults - to the Lord. You will even see this in the newspapers.
News media will turn to the church for answers. Headlines themselves will begin to show the fulfillment
of Bible prophecy.
Signs and wonders in the heavens will increase. I believe that there may even be an aurora borealis
type of event in the heavens that will occur and be seen farther from its usual place of sighting. ~
Although this may be just something the Lord showed me spiritually to explain what He is doing in the
spirit.
An aurora borealis or northern lights is a colorful natural light show in the heavens that is caused by a
quantum leap - which is a transfer of energy from one state to the next, in atomic proportions. Just as
things in the natural are a sign of things in the invisible (spiritual) realms, I believe that we will see the
beginning of a manifested increase in the power of God through signs, wonders and "unexplainable"
miracles which some may refer to as tremendous "coincidences." ~ Healing crusades, such as was
common in the 1950's will re-appear on the scene. ~ Maybe even in large tents.
Many in government and in the news media will come to the Lord as they see, first hand, Biblical
prophecy begin to unfold. It will (to be blunt) "scare the Hell out of them."
On the other hand, God has already placed many men and women in spots in the news media for His
purposes. I believe that the Lord has His "scribes" positioned "for such a time as this" to herald His
voice.
For some time the Lord has shown me that HE, alone, will be the Lone Star of Texas. I believe there
will be an outpouring there that will make news this year.
The U.S. is in for a wild ride this year, politically, spiritually, economically, and weather-wise.
I believe that the Lord is calling many men and women who have previously been in ministry back out
of retirement! It isn't time to be "retired" but to be "re-fired" - re-kindled in the fire of God - and to reach
yet another generation. - I believe John Glenn's recent exploits in the heavens were a prophetic sign in
the natural of just that.
For some time the Lord has been showing me that Ezra 9:8&9 is a word of encouragement for the
entire Body of Christ ~ and I believe that in 1999 and beyond, it will increasingly become even more
powerful to the believer: (8) And now for a little while grace has been shown from the Lord our God, to
leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His Holy Place, that our God may enlighten our
eyes and give us a measure of revival in our bondage; (9) For we were slaves. Yet our God did not
forsake us in our bondage; but He extended mercy to us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to revive
us, to repair the house of our God, to rebuild its ruins, and to give us a wall in Judah* and Jerusalem*.
(note: "Judah" means PRAISE and "Jerusalem" means possession of peace.)
Jesus is that "peg" in the Holy Place which we must hang onto tighter than ever in order to withstand
the times that are to come and the "fires" of testing and trial which will begin to rage even hotter in
1999 and the year 2000.
I believe that we who are in the church have gone through much personal revival and being "tried by
fire" because the Lord is preparing His laborers for a great in-gathering of souls over the next five
years. As many begin to realize that we truly are headed down the hallway towards the "last days," the
influx of souls to the churches will be great. However, many of the churches, themselves, are not yet
ready. There are many pastors and their families who need to get their personal houses in order in a
hurry in order to withstand the coming flood of souls into the church. Some may not withstand this type
of pressure because they are already at the breaking point. Others will serve as "places of refuge" for
them to help to restore and bring them back to spiritual healing and good health. Because of this, a
greater unity will occur between churches as they pull together their resources and giftings to help one
another and their communities. This will increase all the more in the Year 2000.
MANY women will emerge as spiritual leaders in time to come. 1999 will see more of this than ever
before. It is as if they have been "hidden" until "such a time as this."
1999 will be a year of tremendous emotion for the church - tremendous compassion and tears will
come forth for the lost, the sick and the dying. It will result in righteous anger and indignation at the
enemy, and a church that will truly be the Army of the Lord, coming forth in a mighty anointing of
demonstration and power. 1999 is just the beginning of this and it will increase greatly in the year
2000.
The onslaught of the enemy in the coming year will be fear, which, if not recognized and dealt with
properly could reslult in panic, chaos and suicide. A sales trainer by the name of Zig Ziglar used to say
that fear is: F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real. I heard a Christian counselor once say that
98% of all of his cases deal with people's fear and 98% of those fears never come to pass. As
Christians we need to cling to 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power
and of love and of a sound mind." We must also remember that, as it says in the Word "He will keep
those in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him."

Word for America

Mathew Lewin
Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus...
Hello to you my brothers and sisters in the love of Lord Jesus. I feel compelled to write to you and share a prophecy and
the things that are beginning to happen in my small church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. We are only a small
group of believers but the Lord is doing some truly amazing things.
Last Friday night the Lord had sent brothers and sisters all the way from Uganda! The Lord has laid upon their hearts to
preach to us to institute unceasing prayer. The next thing we know the Lord has got all the English brothers and sisters
to humble themselves before the Ugandan brothers and sisters and wash their feet. We felt we had to honour the
Ugandan brothers and sisters and seek their forgiveness for the sins of our forefathers! They forgave us of things like
slavery and oppression for all of Africa! The Lord is saying to us forgive and humble yourselves, also seek forgiveness.
I feel the Lord is saying to the USA: "The blessings I have poured out to show my love for my people has become
corrupt, they seek the blessing rather than me, seek my face, love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your
mind and with all your strength, the well shall dry up, you shall go back into the desert you shall put sack cloth upon
your heads and cry to heaven with lamentations upon your heart, if you turn from you sin with prayer and fasting I shall
heal your land and renew you with my strength."
I feel the Lord has spoken to the USA the Lord would give 2 CHRONICLES 7:14 and GALATIANS 4:8-11 to the body in
the USA. Turn from your sin and humble yourselves and seek the face of the Lord ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS. The
body in the USA is about to enter a spiritual desert, a time of barrenness, that which was once plentiful shall be taken
from you for a season. The light of the Lord is about to break forth that shall expose all which is hidden and consume that
which is not of the Lord. The work the Lord has been doing in the body in the USA is becoming corrupt, the body must
humble itself and repent, seek the forgiveness of the Lord.
I am sorry that you may have never met me before but I feel the Holy Spirit guiding me to write these words. The Holy
Spirit is my witness. And I am compelled to share these things with you.
I beg brothers and sisters in the USA to heed these words...
May the Lord bless and keep you in all that you do...
With humble Love in our Lord Jesus.

What Shall we Do?

Russell Walden
John 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
The miracle of the loaves and fishes in the previous verses provoked the people who partook thereof. Their vision was
inspired. "What must we do to work the works of God?" Knowing and seeing Jesus as one of their number they perceived
intuitively that what he could do, they somehow could do likewise.
The word work in this verse also means business. From the time he was a young boy, Jesus longed to be occupied in
the work of his Father.
Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
Young Jewish boy's at a certain time in their lives were escorted to the marketplace by their father's whereupon their
fathers would place their hands on their son's shoulders and declare for all to hear: "This is my beloved son, in whom I
am well pleased, hear ye him"
This had already happened to Jesus no doubt with Joseph by the time he was twelve, working in his step father's
carpentry shop. But he knew instinctively that it was his heavenly father's business that was to be his chief concern.
However it was years later upon his baptism that the Father set his seal upon Jesus, authorizing him to do business on
His behalf.
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
This phrase was not unknown to Jesus. This was the common language used by Jewish father's when they declared their
son's "coming of age", thereby authorizing them to do business on their father's behalf.
When a father declared this appointment over his son, then from that point on, anything that son did, any business he
transacted would be honored by the father, and all those involved in the family business. This was known as being "set
as a son" or the "adoption".
The scriptures speak of being set as a son in the kingdom of God. This is called the adoption of saints.
Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Ephesians 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will,
There is much more to the adoption than we realize with our western mind set. We are not orphans adopted into the
family of God. No, we have been born again, true children of God with the shed blood of Christ as the bonifides of our
sonship.
So the adoption must be something more.
When you are first born again, there is a learning time that must take place. You must grow and develop in spiritual
things and in the knowledge of Jesus and the Kingdom of God.
Paul spoke of this in his letter to the Galatians.
Galatians 4:1 Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Galatians 4:2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
There is an adoption yet appointed to children of God that due to ignorance, few aspire to. This is that place where the
Father sets his seal upon you and everything you say and do becomes as effective as if he said it and did it. This word
adoption in the original language means to be "set as a son". You are a son of God but there is an appointment yet to
take place. This appointment is a place of authority and power to do business on the Father's behalf. It's not automatic. It
isn't like turning 18 and then legally you are an adult. Yet this divine potential rests in the heart of every born again
believer, to grow and mature and take his or her place in the business of the Kingdom of God, working in the Father's
behalf.
John spoke of this:
John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name: footnote: {power: or, the right, or, privilege}
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Now this "power to become sons of God" doesn't refer to salvation, because only those who have already " received him"
are given this power or right or privilege to become a son of God. John states this emphatically by continuing, that this
"power to become" a son of God only applies or accrues to those who are "born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God."
So when you are born again, you are indeed a child of God but you are under "tutors and governors" till the time
appointed by the father. What is the appointed time? Is it as in the natural when you turn a certain age? No, it isn't
automatic. This adoption, this being set as a son, eligible to do business in the kingdom is a matter of the Father being
"well pleased" with you, thereby declaring in to the host of heaven above and elements on the earth, "hear ye him"
Growth in God from a babe in Christ to maturity is a matter of learning to live a life fully pleasing to the Lord. What is it
that pleases God? The writer of Hebrews makes this clear for us:
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and
[that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Faith pleases God. Not religious faith, which is dead as dry leaves. Nor hyper faith which turns sacred things into a three
ring circus and fosters "ministries" who practice nothing more than "spiritual" sleight of hand.
Real faith is best expressed as "fidelity" in your relationship with God. You can have the faith that moves mountains, yet
still have no deep personal relationship with God. You can know all doctrine and have all understanding of the scriptures,
yet have not intimacy with Jesus. Real faith, the faith that pleases the Father is that which arises out of fidelity and
intimacy with Jesus and the Father through the Holy Ghost. When this faith is your breath and life, when this faith is all
that you long for or desire to pursue, then in due course the Father will take you and set you before the marketplace of
the Spirit and appoint you as a son authorized to do business in His behalf.
To this agree the words of Jesus answering the crowd. If you want to work the works of God Jesus lends this advice:
What must we do to be about our Father's business?
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Believing, or having committed, relational fidelity to the Son of God is the key to working the works of God. Where are the
days of miracles we ask?
Are they over and not for today? In no case because Jesus prophesied that we would do greater works than what even he
did in his earth walk.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
[works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
We are not there yet. The early church came close. What is the key? Some strange doctrine? Emphasis on outward
signs and manifestations. No, the failure of the Pentecostal movement should show us that outward practice of
"tongues", Charismatic distinctives, etc., while not to be disallowed are no assurance of spiritual maturity or the
fulfillment of God's purpose in the earth.
Our only hope is in the pursuit of deep, intimate, inward communion with Christ as a daily ambition and desire for every
Christian, no matter what his doctrine may be, or religious background, Christ must be all in all. Then from that intimacy
shall come into evidence a child of God whose prayers God will dramatically answer on a consistent basis. Who will
know things only the Father could have revealed. Who will be as conversant and comfortable with the mysteries of the
Kingdom as a mechanic is with the tools of his trade. A believer whose hearts cry and life's ambition is to do what they
see the Father do and judge as they hear him speak.
A false hope?
An impossibility?
Not practical?
Perhaps all of these, but certainly scriptural and certainly with possible. With man nothing is possible. With God all
things are possible. Let's set our hearts on higher things. Let us believe for more of God than we've experienced or born
witness to. It matters not what our failures are, or how many before us have fallen from the heights of these truths to the
depths of shame. All that matters is Christ before us, beckoning on to the ramparts of glory available to him that believes.

Separating Wheat From Tares

Marsha Burns
August 20, 1998: These are days that I require you to stand. The enemy will come in like a flood, but I have raised
up a standard--a banner of victory. Be strong. Refuse to give in to the temptation to be defeated. Rise up in the authority I
have given you over the enemy. I have given you power, but you must exercise it by your faith and determination to
overcome.
August 19, 1998: I am indeed separating wheat from tares. They have grown together, and it is time for the
separation. But, I will do this. I did not call you, My people, to involvement in this process, but it is the job of the reapers,
My angels. Beware lest you develop a critical attitude and division come through arrogance and pride. Have I not called
you to love one another, and haven't I said that love covers a multitude of sins? So, I say, forgive those who have offended
you and make no judgment against them. Extend mercy. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God.
August 18, 1998: Behold, I am about to make your idols as nothing. When you look to your idols for help, it will be
like leaning on a stick that breaks and splinters. It will gave way under the weight of your burden. Come, My people, and
bring your burdens to Me. Don't look to your own resources or abilities or relationships. They will not be able to help you.
But I, your God, your very present help in times of trouble, will be your place of security and deliverance. I will bring you
through. I am the Lord! Psalm 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
August 17, 1998: Have I not called you, My people, to stand before the Lord of the whole earth as My witnesses? Did
you hear it? Stand! The enemy has come to discourage you, to bring doubt and despair. The test is to see if you will
stand. The temptation is to become a victim of your circumstances and to engage in self-pity. Don't let the things you are
facing destroy your confidence and boldness. Nothing has really changed. You are still Mine. I have chosen you and
called you by name. I have equipped and enabled you. Rise up in My strength. Take courage and stand. "Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand." (Ephesians 6:10-13)
August 15, 1998: I am bringing new life out of the ashes of the past, much the same as the new life that springs forth
after a forest fire. The old is destroyed, but the land still produces life because the seed has been planted. So, I say, do
not despair at what seems to have been destroyed, even as by fire. And, I say, haven't you been through the fires that
have purged your hearts from dead works? So now, watch for life to spring forth in new ways. Haggai 2:18-19, "Consider
now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the Lord's
temple was laid--consider it: Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree
have not yielded fruit. But from this day forward I will bless you."
August 14, 1998: Ezekiel 17:24b, "It is I who makes the green tree wither and gives new life to the dead tree. I, the Lord
have spoken! I will do what I have said." Some of you, My children, have forgotten that you need to be planted by the
rivers of living water in order to flourish, and you have plucked yourselves up and tried to take root in the wilderness.
However, you find yourselves being consumed by the dryness of this desert. I say get yourselves up and return to the
place from which you have drifted. You have wandered away from truth and life. You have sought security in the
things of the world and solace in human relationships. I say, return to Me, and I will bring you back to life and health and
fruitfulness. "Psalm 1:1-6, "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of
sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and
night. He shall be like a tree planted by rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not
wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord
knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish."
August 12, 1998: Hosea 6:1, " Come, let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but
He will bind us up." I see the anguish of My precious ones. I am indeed touched by the feeling of their infirmities. But, I
have said in My word that "He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted" and "To set at liberty those who are bruised." I
have come to heal you and to liberate you from the woundings of your soul. Come to Me. Let Me touch you. Let Me heal
you. Bring those things of the past that have torn you and brought anguish to your soul. Bring them to Me. Release them
to Me. Let Me bring deliverance and healing. Cast your burdens on Me. Release yourself into the freedom that
forgiveness brings, and your healing will spring forth speedily.
August 11, 1998: My people, stay focused. Refuse to allow the troubling circumstances and chaotic conditions around
you to hinder you in your relationship and availability to Me. Maintain your sense of peace, spiritual strength and stability
by keeping your eye single. The word of God will reestablish spiritual equilibrium. Do not dwell emotionally or mentally on
where you stand with others. Refuse to be offended. The danger is that you will become increasingly self-focused and
lose spiritual perspective. Regain lost ground now. You must win this battle in your soul. Forgive and release. Do not
look at things according to outward appearance. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for
pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
August 8, 1998: The clock on the wall has faithfully ticked away the seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years. The
sound of the ticking never ceases, and yet you don't hear it unless you listen for it. So it is with the sound of My voice. It
is always there as I lead you and direct your steps, but you are only aware of My speaking when you get quiet and
listen. The sound of My presence never ceases, for I am with you and in you. But, you must quiet your soul and listen
or you will not hear. God bless you!

Come Home to Me!

11/22/98 12:53 a.m.
Let him who has ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying this night to My servant. In the last days
perilous times will come. Men will be lovers of themselves. Men's hearts will grow faint under the
pressures of the world and they will cry out for mercy. "Mercy! Mercy! Lord have mercy on Me a
sinner." This will be the cry of hearts across this whole earth. For I, by My Spirit, am bringing forth a
mighty wave of repentance. I am seeking hearts that will cry out to Me for forgiveness and rise up
strong in My name. The repentance is coming fast on the heels of calamity. The calamity is
approaching as I speak. Give your hearts to Me…the Master. Let Me turn them into the vessels that I
long to hold and love with the love of a Father. The Father, who has seen fit to offer His love and
devotion to you, His wee ones. I am beseeching you to come close and see the hand writing on the
wall. It reads, "The time is right!. The time has come. Step close into the Master's plan. Identify
yourselves as His loyal servants. Walk forward not looking to the right or to the left. Walk forward
searching His eyes for approval. For He is calling you closer. He is designating to this one and that
one a certain position in Him. Take your position. Listen to your assignment. Follow through and stay
on course." This is how the handwriting reads. It was written by the Master's hand. Hear the cry of His
heart. He is bringing forth calamity, but right on the heels of that calamity is the greatest wave of
repentance known to man. He is delivering this by His Spirit. Hear what the Spirit is saying to His
servant this night. The time is here. The time is right. Step forward and follow through with your
assignment. Step forward and hear the cry of the Father's heart…."I want you to come home to Me…I
am longing for all of My children to come home to Me. I desire to have you close! I have waited long
enough. Fulfill your calling. Look to your destiny. It is with Me. It is with your loving Creator. I am calling.
Come home, My children. I am tired of living without you. I desire to have you dwelling with Me. Come
home, My dear children. Come home to Me. My heart is aching for you to be with Me. My heart is
crying for you to come and satisfy this deepest desire of your Father. Come home to Me. Come home
to Me. Obey My voice and get your house in order and follow My lead. Come home to Me. Come
home to Me. Yes! That is the cry of My heart….Come home to Me!!!"

LISTENING
Nov. 18, 1998
"Look for new things in the next year--an increase in my anointing, and an increase in my power.
Would you wonder at this? For my power will increase and your ability to hear my voice will be
increased. There is a place, a spark, a center, from which I speak, and out of this place inside, I pour
forth my speech. And out from that place within you, I want to unfold more of my truth. I have created a
receiver within each of my servants. Consider a radio, for it has a tuner which you can hear various
stations; they run the full gamut of possibilities. You can pick what you want to listen to. With my voice,
it is a still small one. Be sure that you have it properly "tuned-in." I intend to turn up the volume. Be sure
you listen for Me, for I will speak louder . There are many voices in this world; they would come and vie
for your listening, but use the receiver that I've given to you. Have I not said that, "When the Spirit of
Truth comes, He will speak of things to come?" I tell you, He has been telling you these things. You will
not only see an increase in my power and anointing, but you will see how some come into my
corporate body. What do I mean by this? I mean that you will see how much you need each other. For
the times of doing great things by yourselves is over. Yes, you each have your own individual things to
do. But you are not "islands unto yourselves." When you are sent with a word to a church or an
individual, do you not need the other brother to listen to you? Is there not a relationship needed
between the giver and the receiver? Oh, you might say, "They might not listen!" This is true, but there
are still ears who would have received. You all need each other's input from a pastor to his
congregation, from a giver of mercy, to the one who is in need. So, when I am increasing my power
and my anointing, know that it is for the purpose of being dependent not only upon Me, but on each
other. Listen for my voice, for it will guide you into ALL things. Listen...for I will speak, and guide, and
comfort."

"REFLECTIONS" OF THE FATHER'S HEART

November 21, 1998
All "true" submission to My delegated authorities is born out of a heart wholly given to Me - and to a
perfect obedience to My Word and My Spirit. One is either going to be found "ministering" wholly unto
Me or "ministering" wholly unto themselves in this last of the last hour!
Any one of My children who seeks to "control" those I have given to them has already submitted
themselves to the "spirit of Balaam" and unless a deep and thorough repentance on their part is
forthcoming they shall "begin" to perish in their greed and covetousness! My love and My power and
My grace shall always transcend any and every manifestation of "false authority" in the midst of My
people. For truly I say to you, even where sin abounds - or has abounded - in that very place shall My
grace abound much more! I shall never allow those who "will" hear My voice to enter into that place of
an "abiding" deception and I shall surely let all those who speak words "in My name", but who are not
of My Spirit, "fall" to the ground (their words) and I shall bring My anointed vessels upon that scene to
"elevate" all those who will hear to a place far above the self-serving motivations and lies previously
spoken! To the degree that a "shepherd" (pastor) hears their Master's voice it is to that degree that
their sheep hear the Master's voice through them! "Casual conversation" is "sinful" and serves only to
"de- elevate" My people! An act of "treachery" is any word or action - spoken or taken - against those
who are in service to the King and His Kingdom! Any selfish action taken in the midst of My children is
an act of treachery! Perfect obedience will "continually" release the anointing that abides within! If one
is not operating in a corresponding action to faith (love) then they are operating in a corresponding
action to fear (selfishness)! If one is continually looking for the "outward" blessing then it is certain that
they will, to that same degree, ignore (be blinded to) the "inward" blessing (revelation - empowerment)
that I have bestowed - and continue to bestow - upon My children! Through the anointing abiding within
My holy apostles and prophets I shall begin to "elevate" all those of My people who truly love Me to
heights heretofore "unseen" by them and they shall begin to operate for the first time in the "fullness"
of the authority that is theirs in Christ - the Anointed One and His Anointing. And they shall go forth in
such power and glory that all those who cross their path shall be astounded. Those whose hearts are
toward Me to "any" degree shall immediately come under a powerful and heavy anointing of total and
absolute "consecration" and from this place they shall go forth - even as babes in Christ - to devastate
every "stronghold" and "scheme" of Satan in their path and I shall literally multiply (expand) My Church
at a rate that is, in this time, "incomprehensible" to even the most sanctified of My children! Those who
strive to "maintain" any degree of "religious" activity shall be forced to "flee" from the anointing of
Truth and Righteousness upon My holy vessels but they shall know deep within themselves that
something is very wrong. At first they will be deceived by the Evil One into thinking that it is what they
have witnessed in those I have placed in their path that is wrong, but any who have even the smallest
seed of the desire to love Me shall gain the necessary enlightenment and I shall lead them into their
"proper" position within the local Church and for the first time in their entire lives and ministries they
shall be found to be serving Me in perfect righteousness for they shall be freed of all bondage to the
"religious spirits" who - up until the freed one's time of a deep and thorough repentance - had both
controlled them and used them to persecute (hinder) My sent ones. A "spirit of stubbornness" always
operates from a "deeply- rooted" ground of fear! And because this ground is so deeply-rooted most
times it will take an "abiding diligence" in fasting (the fasted life) and prayer. This "consistency" will
produce the perfect intercession necessary and the captive(s) shall surely be set free! As My children
"abide" in a perfect obedience against this "spirit" (the spirit of stubbornness) the "floodgates" shall
open and the anointing abiding within them shall be poured forth in "full measure" and "power"!
Prophetic Utterances through Bill Burns:
November 22, 1998:

This word I speak to you today, says the Lord God. I have come in the delivering power of My
kingdom. I have come to deliver you from the prince of darkness; I have come to deliver you from the
rule of a principality and from the dominions of the rulers of darkness. I have come as the Lord of glory
to dispense My glory upon you, to touch you with My glory, to let the anointing flow through you, to
cause you to come up into victory. Would you come forth in the name of Jesus? Would you not come
out of that darkness? Would you not believe now and release your faith unto Me? For, surely I shall
perform My word. The evil one has held My people long enough under his sway and his power. But, I
say to you, I declare a spiritual deliverance. I declare a spiritual Jubilee of the delivering power of My
kingdom, and I will not sit down any longer, nor will I stand back, for My people's cry has come up
before My face. There has come forth a yearning for the darkness to be broken. There has come a
yearning to know Me better--people praying. I have heard your prayers, and I come today as the Lord
of the breakthrough to break through in your circumstances, to break through the darkness, to break
through the power and to become a delivering power to you.
November 20, 1998:

Have you heard the cry of the eagles? From above has come the cry of My Spirit; it has come to you
through the voices of those that soar upon the winds of My breath. They have spoken that this coming
season would be known as a time of My justice, seasons of judgment upon the peoples of the earth.
To My church, the watchword is COME! The cry of the Spirit is COME, for the winter is before you,
and the fall will soon pass you by. So, I say come! First, you must come out from among them.
Revelation 18:4-- "And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest
you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues." I have spoken to you that you must be
found in safe habitations by the fall or surely justice will bring death to many. You must be found in Me,
and so the cry of the Spirit says, come unto Me. Be found in Me, for I Myself am the safe habitation of
My people. Come into the safe habitation of the sheepfold. Come into My Father's house, for the hour
of judgment has come. John 5:25-27 "Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father
has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to
execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man." The winter comes and many shall fall away
and sleep the sleep of death. Awake you who sleep come unto Me all of you who sleep the sleep of
lukewarmness. Be not unequally yoked with the world. Matthew 11:28 -30"Come to Me, all you who
labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am
gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is
light." Come and learn from Me, come with Me into the Valley of Vision, and I shall show you the things
that are soon to come upon the earth, and when you see these things, your message will also be
"Come!" Revelation 22:17 "And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say,
"Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely." And so it
must be, My people, the message of the Spirit is come; your message must also be come, to
everyone who thirsts bid them come to the living waters, for I am coming quickly. Have you heard, My
people? Your lives will depend upon your hearing. He who has ears to hear let him hear. Come, My
people! Isaiah 26:20-21 "Come, my people, enter your chambers, And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the LORD
comes out of His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; The earth will also
disclose her blood, And will no more cover her slain." Amen.
November 8, 1998:
Eye has not seen; ear has not perceived the things that I am about to do among My people. Those
that have come forth, those that have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, those that have
come by way of Gethsemane, I will now begin to bring forth the golden oil from within, the anointing of
My Spirit, and the power thereof that shall become a river of living water. That which I have spoken of
in My Word shall now begin to flow. It will flow forth as a mighty rushing river, even as it is spoken of in
My Word that on the day of Pentecost there came forth from heaven the sound of a mighty rushing
wind. I say, if you listen, you can hear the sound of this mighty rushing river, the river of My anointing
that comes forth, the river of My promise, the river of My power, the river of My purposes is about to
touch this earth. When it does, watch out! I say, watch out, for you have not understood nor have you
been able to perceive the magnitude and the power and the force with which it shall be birthed through
the hearts of My obedient ones. It is even now beginning to flow. I say, it is even now beginning to flow.
It is coming forth; it is up to your ankles; it is up to your waist. Now, get in the flow of My river and
receive all that I have for you. I am pouring forth a fresh anointing today; I am bringing forth the golden
oil that will bring light to this world and the hearts of many. You shall see the manifestation of the sons
of glory, for I have decreed it, I have spoken it, and now it becomes.
November 6, 1998:
I am the Eternal God! All things are possible with Me. I say that all things are possible for those who
live in faith, those who will walk in faith, those who will believe are those that perceive that which I will
do for them. I am not a God that withholds from you. But, you must see it and believe it to receive it.
That is the way that I create and that is the way that I work within My kingdom. This is the kingdom of
faith; you come in by faith, you live by faith, and you receive by faith. You must perceive, then, in the
Valley of Vision those things which are necessary for you. For, I say to you they are there and they
exist for you. If you will allow My hand to come upon you, I will lead you forth, and you will see things
that you have never seen before and understand mysteries that you have never understood before.
There are mysteries in My kingdom that you have not yet perceived, nor do you understand them, but
My desire is to reveal them to My beloved in this dispensation, in this time and in this hour, for I am
unsealing the books, and I am revealing the hidden mysteries that were set aside for this time, the
time in which you live, I say the last generation upon this earth. So, I say, come up. Come up here!
Come up here where I can open your eyes. Come up here where I can take your hand. Come up here
where I can walk with you. Come up here where I can lead you forth into your purposes, the purposes
that I have predestined you to walk in. Move from complacency. Move from the hindering spirits that
are against you. Move out of the valley of destruction, and move into the valley of My presence. I say
unto you, I did not create you to be victims, but to be conquerors. I did not create you to lose the battle,
but to have victory in the battle. I did not create you to give in, but to overcome. So, come forth, My
children! Rise up. Rise up! Come forth and see Me as I am, for if you can see Me as I am, all things
that you need will be provided for you, and you will be found in safe habitations.
November 6, 1998:
Look at your feet? Are they not bronzed? Are they not burnished? Are they not for walking over all the
works of the enemy? Haven't they been refined in the fires of God? Haven't they come forth in strength
and power? Haven't they been in the same fires that the Lord Jesus has walked in? The Spirit of the
Living God says, trample under your feet the works of the enemy until they are but ashes, until they are
but dust. Do it with hope and faith in Me, for I shall not leave you in a position of bondage; I have come
to set every captive free, and lift every one up for My purposes, and not one of you shall fall short if you
will but believe. You have been given calves feet so that you may go forth from the stalls with the
healing power of God upon you, to walk over all the works of the enemy and trample them under foot
until they are but dust.
October 31, 1998:

My people perish for a lack of knowledge, says the Lord. It is written that they do not understand, and
they perish where there is no vision. I say to you, and I call to you with a voice as loud and clear as I
can bring forth from the temple of Zion; I shout unto you, enter into the Valley of Vision. Find your way
through the rubble into My habitation. Come forth out of the world and ascend Zion's hill, for surely
when you ascend Zion's hill, all that I have promised you lies before you in the Valley of Vision. That
which you can perceive is that which you can have. In My valley is the presence of My company; in My
valley is the anointing of My Spirit. In My valley is the virtue of the Lamb of God. In My valley are the
healing virtues, the healing streams. In My valley lies the victory. I say come! Come! Come to this
place.
November 27, 1998:

The separation process continues as I gather to Myself those whose hearts truly desire to serve Me.
Come to Me. I abhor the religious. Haven't I spoken that your own righteousnesses are as filthy rags?
You can't do enough to earn My favor. The more self-sufficient you become, the less you actually
depend on Me. Isn't this the root of apostasy--that you don't realize that you are poor, blind, and
naked? Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness--for
Me. Seek Me. Yield to Me. Come to Me.
November 26, 1998:

Haven't I said in My word that at the end of time men would wax worse and worse. I say to you the
enemy has released another wave of violence in the land, and those that he can control will be out of
control, their consciences seared, not considering the effects of their violent behavior. I do not tell you
this so that you will fear, but that you might pray. Pray for the souls of those who are pawns in the
devil's chess game. Pray that they might awaken to their need for a Savior and come to a place of
order and decency in their lives. Bind the powers of darkness from your homes, neighborhoods and
churches. For, I have indeed given you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the
power of the enemy so that nothing shall by any means hurt you. This attack of violence will first be
seen and evidenced by a boldness and insolence against My people and their rights and authority. It
is a spirit of anarchy. Watch for it, and rise up in My power against it.
November 25, 1998:

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. I have given you flesh so that you might express My
nature on the earth. It is the flesh that you must learn to overcome. It is the most expedient way to
completion. It is through suffering in the flesh that you have the opportunity to learn obedience. It is by
way of the flesh that you may rise up in faith and trust Me for health and provision. Yet if you live by the
flesh and indulge in the flesh, your spirit will lose power and strength. If you walk in the Spirit, you will
not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. This is the ultimate choice in every life. It is in the flesh body that you
choose whom you will serve. It is in the flesh body that you choose where you will spend eternity. Will
you choose for the desires and lusts of the life on earth and put those needs and desires above the
One who gave you life and flesh? Or, will you choose to walk in His Spirit in spite of the flesh? The
choice is yours. Deuteronomy 30:19-20 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I
have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your
descendants may live; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that
you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land
which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them."
November 24, 1998:

The heart knows its own bitterness. You know those places in you that nag at you and bring unrest and
confusion. These are places in you that need My grace. Examine those places to see if you are in
rebellion, refusing stubbornly to yield to My will for you. My desire is for you to come into My peace and
My rest, to trust Me with the things that concern you. Haven't I said I would perfect (bring to completion)
those things that concern you? Acts 3:19, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."
November 23, 1998:

I speak to you today to maintain a pure conscience before Me. Walk in truth and light. Refuse to fall
into the fantasy of the days ahead. Some would call these days "holidays" or holy days, but do not be
deceived into thinking there is anything holy about the world's traditions and materialism. I say it is
idolatry in its grandest form. Loose yourselves from this bondage and idolatry, and seek Me with a
whole heart. Have nothing to do with self interest and greed; rather rise up in spiritual purity before My
face, and refuse to be distracted by what is unholy.
November 21, 1998:

I am stirring hearts and bringing conviction and opportunity for repentance. I am drawing My people
into a place of greater obedience, more strength and fervent love. The choices are there. The choice
is yours. Will you yield completely to My call? Will you say yes to My proposal? Will you be My bride?
The choice is yours and yours alone. Are you willing to forsake all and yield to My purposes? Come
and be one with Me in heart and purpose. Come away with Me, My beloved.
November 13, 1998:

Behold, I am bringing forth something new, a new order. You could call it a "face lift," which will occur
in the spiritual realm, but will also manifest in the physical, material realm to reflect that which I am
doing in My people. Old attitudes and behavior patterns, places of compromise and complacency, are
now being brought to the light for your consideration. You will have new opportunities to deal with old
issues. It is My desire for you that this be the last time around for these lessons, and that you be
released from the bondages that have held you and prevented you from gaining new ground
spiritually. I have called you to "take the land." You do this by overcoming. There is great reward to
those who overcome. Refuse to succumb to a defeatist attitude, thinking that things will never change.
This is the time! Press in and seek My face as never before, and walk in the Spirit.
November 11, 1998:

Press through. I say, press through the crowd of distractions, thoughts of doubt, bitterness, rejection,
fear, condemnation. Come all the way through and touch Me with your faith. When you do, My virtue
will flow into you, and you will be strengthened. New life and vitality will flow into you. But, you must
come. Don't give up before you get through. Press in; pursue Me with all your heart. Come to Me.
Matthew 14:36, "And (they) begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as
many as touched it were made perfectly well."
November 10, 1998: The world would give you titles and apply innuendoes to your name and
character. They judge you by outward appearance and measure you according to their standards.
They assign value to you according to their goals. But, I say, I judge by a different standard, the highest
standards of truth and righteousness. I have given you a new name. You are My chosen. You are the
apple of My eye. I cherish My own. Do not allow the names and values assigned by the world system
to undermine and distract from your value to Me in the Kingdom. You are a delight to Me.
November 9, 1998:
I speak to you, My children, with a heart that longs for your faithfulness and obedience, not for My
benefit but for yours. Haven't I spoken clearly that the wages of sin is death? My desire is that none
should perish. These times in which you live are indeed dangerous and troublesome. My desire is that
you forsake all and follow Me. Your own cleverness will not provide a way of escape from the trouble
that comes and will abound. Your hope is in Me. Your place of safety is in Me. But, you cannot come
into that place in Me in your complacency and disobedience. You must "lay aside every weight, and
the sin which so easily ensnares." I am calling you, My beloved, My chosen, to consecrate yourselves.
Make a renewed commitment to serve Me with a whole heart. Cut yourselves off from the things of the
world and selfish attitudes that keep you from walking in the fullness of My Spirit. I call to you today,
come and follow Me!
November 7, 1998:
I want you to see Me up close. I am the Great and Mighty God! You can say those words, but what is
your concept really? The closer you get to Me, the greater I AM. But, I am diminished by the distance
between us. Your faith in Me depends on how near or far your heart is from Me. The power of the
Word is dependent upon how near you stay to Me. Oh, that you would draw near and stay close! My
desire is that you could see Me as I am, for it is true that you now "see through a glass darkly." But,
haven't I said if you will draw near to Me, I will draw near to you? Come close!
November 6, 1998:
I see the hearts of My broken, wounded soldiers. I see your afflictions and I know of your desire to
retreat and hide yourself. But, I say that My strength is sufficient! Jeremiah 12:5 "If you have run with
the footmen, and they have wearied you, Then how can you contend with horses? And if in the land of
peace, In which you trusted, they wearied you, Then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?"
Do not be discouraged and do not be dismayed. I will strengthen you for this hour if you will only trust
Me. Refuse to give in to weakness and despair. Rise up in My strength and power, and I will cause
you to come forth in victory. There is much work to be done, but I cannot use you if you hide in
darkness. Take courage, for I am with you to bring you through this time of trouble.
November 4, 1998:
I hear the cry of those who hear My prophets and then say, "Speak to us a NEW word, for we have
heard this one already." I say, I will speak a new word when what I have already spoken is taken
seriously and acted upon. I will speak a new word when the word that I have already brought forth does
more than tickle the ears of a nation that has grown fat and dull of hearing and short-sighted. I will
speak a new word when disobedience and rebellion are quenched and submission is a reality. Be a
doer of the word and not a hearer only!
November 2, 1998: I am bringing you, My people, through the fires of purification. I have not delivered
you from going through the fire because it is a necessary process. That which can be burned, must be
consumed so that what remains is pure. Only those things that are temporal will burn--those things that
spring up from the earth (from worldliness) are fuel. The fire will only be quenched when there is no
more fuel. Be as the three Hebrew children thrown in the fiery furnace. They were not consumed by the
flames, nor did they smell of smoke. What was consumed by the fire were their bondages. They came
out free men. I was with them in the fire, as I have been with you. When you emerge from the heat of
this furnace, you also will be free.
October 31, 1998:

Seek Me. Oh, My people, seek Me first--not for what I can do for you; not for what I can do for another,
but that we might have fellowship with one another. I desire to know you and that you would know Me.
There are those who will be sent away from me at the end of the age because I never knew them, yet
they will have used My name. Come, My beloved, and know Me! Matthew 7:22-23 "Many will say to
Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and
done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from
Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

Where I Am
Russell Walden
This is one of those posts that will either change your whole Christian walk, or you will get absolutely
nothing out of it. Either way, I invite you into my personal prayer time to look over some things I've
been meditating on. God bless.
THAT WHERE "I AM" YE MAY BE ALSO
John 14:
1. Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God believe also in me.
2. In my Father's house are many mansions if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you
unto myself, that where I am, ye may be also.
4. And wither I go ye know and the way you know.
In verse one Jesus is calling the disciples to make their faith in God and their faith in Him one and the
same. For you and I that is a simple matter because we readily except that Jesus is God. For the
disciples however, they more readily accepted him as man therefore were challenged to except him
as Messiah and Savior. They know that Jesus is about to go away and they want to be with him at all
costs. Knowing this Jesus chooses this moment not only to comfort them but also to challenge them
and us with a greater vision of the fullness of Christ in our lives. Knowing that they are hurting, Jesus
goes on with great solicitation, emphasizing that there are many dwelling places in the father's house,
and that his purpose in leaving them was to make preparation for himself and his followers to be
together both NOW and ALWAYS.
Contrary to popular thought it is doubtful that Jesus is speaking ONLY of our heavenly home in
eternity. Looking at the context at the end of chapter 13, he has declared to Peter that he would deny
him in the near future. The disciples were being faced with their own shortcomings. They knew that
Jesus was bringing his earthly ministry to a climax, and he is confronting them with their failings. While
at the same time He is assuring them that even in their weakness they had a place in the Father's
house. Human as they were, they yet had a place and a purpose in the economy of God. He calls
them to put their faith not in the strength of their own zeal, or determined will, but rather to look with
absolute dependence upon him whom God hath sent.
In putting their faith in him they also put their faith in his provision. He comforts them with the promise
that he is going to make preparation for them that where " I am", " ye may be also". Now here we see
that he isn't necessarily speaking of eternity, because he was not yet ascended. The place he
promises to prepare is the place where he was at that moment.
Where was Jesus at that time? He was spiritually located with the Father. He didn't say I'm going to
prepare place for you, that where I will be, you will be. In that sense he could only have referred to our
eternal home. But the place in the Master's eye, that he was promising to prepare was not where he
would be in the future, but where he was right then. Where was he? In the natural, he was in Judea. But
the greater truth is that he was spiritually located with the Father in heavenly places.
Jesus was spiritually located with the Father, and was going to make preparation that where he was
(with the Father), we might be also. Where was Jesus going to make this preparation? He was going
to the cross to bleed and die, for the sins of the world. He was going into the grave, and into hell itself,
to set the captive free. In what is our captivity? Some may say that man is captive to sin. Another
assertion may be that man is captive to Satan. But in truth, Satan is not the problem, nor is certain
problem. Man is captive to himself, his own choices and failings. Weren't not for man's failings in the
garden, indeed for his choices in the garden, Satan and sin would not be an issue.
I don't need salvation from sin. I don't need salvation from Satan. I need salvation from myself. The
cross didn't change sin. Nor did the cross change Satan. Sin today is the same as sin 2000 years
ago. Satan is the same today as he was 2000 years ago. What does the cross change? The cross
changes me. The preparation that Jesus made on the cross was a process initiated to change me to
change my being, to change my heart and my soul.
What is the end product of this change? The consummation of Jesus work on the cross is personal
transformation in the heart of every man who looks to God through faith in Christ. This is the
transformation from darkness to light. From emptiness to fullness. From the desolation, to intimacy
and fellowship with the Father.
Jesus said in John 10:30 " I and my Father are one. " In John 17:11 we find him praying to the Father
" now than I am no more in the world but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father,
keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one even as we
are."
This passage correlates directly to John 14. Jesus is securing the provision of the Father through his
faith, that we might have available to us the same fellowship and intimacy and fullness of the Father,
that he had in his earth walk. What a privilege! This beggars the imagination. Yet this fathomless union
with the Father is the primary provision of Calvary.
Oh that our finite minds could grasp this! Would that we could lay hold upon it. What boundless
treasures in Christ are our. How far below our privileges we have lived. All our lives languishing in the
mundane, putrid backwaters of dead religion!
I trust the simplicity of this truth has touched you and opened to you of path of progress, perhaps even
a beacon of hope to those deeply frustrated with what others call "Fullness". There is so much more in
Him available, to those who abandon themselves and embrace Him in all his glory.

Where Is Jesus?
Trish Fobes
After reading, "Jesus Enter In," by Paul Davies dated November 8, 1998, I felt the Lord wanted me to
submit the following Word given to me on January 14, 1998.
Message to the Pastors of the Church of Jesus Christ.
JESUS. JESUS. JESUS.

There's no other name like the Name of JESUS.
At the Name of JESUS, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
Why is JESUS being left out?

Why is the Name of My Son not in your services?
In your homes?
In your families?
Why don't people use the Name of JESUS?
JESUS, who was born, raised as a child, died, was buried and resurrected for you.
JESUS, who died for you.
Why is JESUS not included in your life?
Why do you grieve me so?

My heart aches to hear the mention of My Son's Name-JESUS.
Sing it! Speak it! Proclaim it!

JESUS IS YOUR KING!!
Honor Him! Praise Him! Worship Him!
Shout it! JESUS!
Whisper it! JESUS!
Say it! JESUS!

Proclaim it! JESUS!
Use the power at hand.

The Name of JESUS!
The Blood of JESUS!
The Word of JESUS!
These are all mighty, mighty swords not being used by My People,
and in a lot of My People, forgotten.
Go back to your roots!

Go back to JESUS!
Go back to the simplicity of JESUS and The Cross!
Keep your focus! Keep your focus! Keep your focus!
Do not be swayed! Do not be moved!
The focus is JESUS and THE CROSS.

Watch Who You Marry

Mark 6:14-22
Now King Herod heard of Him, for His name had become well known.
And he said, 'John the Baptist is risen from the dead,
and therefore these powers are at work in Him.'
Others said, 'It is Elijah.' And others said, 'It is the Prophet, or like one of the prophets.'
But when herod heard he said, 'This is John, whom I beheaded; he has raised from the dead!'
For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias,
his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
For John had said to Herod, 'It is unlawful for you to have your brother's wife.'
Therefore Herodias held it against him and wanted to kill him, but she could not.
for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, and he protected him.
And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles,
the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
And when Herodias' daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and
those who sat with him, the king said to the girl,
'Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.'
He also swore to her, 'Whatever you ask me, I will give to you, up to half of my kingdom.'
So she went back out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask?'
And she said, 'The head of John the Baptist!'
Immediately, she came in with haste to the king and asked,
saying, 'I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.'
And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and
because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her.
And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought.
And he went and beheaded him in prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to her mother.
And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
John the Baptist is the prophet or symbolically, the Word of God. In the beginning of this text, Herod is
convinced when he hears about Jesus, that He is John the Baptist raised from the dead. He obviously
felt that that 'power' that John had could accomplish the task of raising a corpse from the dead.
Herod (according to verse 20)...
feared John
knew that John was a just and holy man
protected John
heard John gladly
Herod knew John, he heard John. Since John represents the Word, Herod represents church, or
religion. He seemed to like John very much, even though John had spoken against his marriage.
Herod married his brother's wife, Herodias. John the Baptist spoke that it was unlawful for him to have her.
Herodias is the world. (James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteressess! Do you not know that friendship with the
world is emnity with God? Whoever therfore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of
God.)
The 'world' hated the prophet.

'Religion' loved to listen to the prophet.
'Religion' has married the 'world'.
Herodias' daughter, came from the womb of Herodias. She is produced by the 'world'. She is the 'fruit' of the
world. Herodias couldn't kill John, so the 'world' waits for and opportune time to send in her 'fruit' to seduce
'religion' to kill the 'word'.
Religion is pleased by the fruit of the world.
Religion is so enamoured with the fruit,
he offers up to half of the kingdom! (tolerance? compromise?)
Religion has made oaths and is more concerned about reputation than the word.
The world is behind this deception,
she tells the fruit to demand John's head on a platter.
Religion then must order the Word of God to be cut off!
Now the Word has been cut off and placed on a platter,
delivered by the fruit to the world.
Church, the Spirit of God would say to us, who are you married to? Aren't you betrothed to Me? It is
unlawful for you to be married to the world. The world will send seduction and trap you. Religion that is
married to the world is in danger of having My Living Word cut off through deception and seduction.
My love, you cannot live without My Word, for My Word gives you life. Sacrifice your reputation, do not
be pleased by the fruit of the world, cover your eyes, do not feast in honor of yourselves. Honor Me, My
beloved and I will give you life.
Prophetically, I think we should watch for Herod's 'birthday party'.

Who Are We?

Richard W Breazeale
[Ed. Note: This is written in response to an article that appeared last week, Alas Poor Ahab!]
This is a true word, yet not complete. But each of us have the pieces to complete most all things together.
The Lord began His judgments in the earth years ago, with the church. As we see in Baker, Swaggart, etc.........many
unknown and known 'men of God' laid low and humbled before the world.
STILL the church didn't catch on. We are now in another stage of judgment, one which reaches to our leaders in
government and other areas of leadership. Most of these CLAIM to follow Christ. And indeed some of these have a heart
for the Lord, though are misguided.
Now we are faced with a dilemma. Our President has come to judgment. There is talk of do we forgive? Do we accept?
Do we ignore? Yes, there is MUCH talk!
Our God spoke of this talk. He spoke of the pointing of the finger and accusation all through His word. He also SENT
those He willed to speak and prophecy. At NO TIME do I see Him use the whole nation (Israel, church) to point out error.
Now we can look back to the story of Ahab and Jehoshaphat and see a very similar story of judgment, though different in
approach.
In our circumstance we as a people (not liberal or conservative, not democrat or republican, but Christian) were given
exactly what we as a people needed (in His eyes) to become what He wills us to be. In a sense we have been tested and
have shown to be very lacking!
We had, and perhaps still have, a chance to turn our nation and peoples back to God. We have had ample opportunity to
lift all our leaders in all areas up in prayer rather than point the finger of accusation and defeat which enables the fiery
darts of the evil one.
It is true that one must be held accountable, one must pay the price and consequences of ones actions. But it is also
true that we as a people of God are commanded to PRAY FOR, not FIGHT AGAINST our leaders. Whatever one does,
does not our God have the power to turn the tide in Jesus name? Why do we still look to the worldly ways for our
answers and ways of change? God, in all His infinite wisdom and understanding set a pattern before us as a people
which we just do not seem to grasp when faced with things which offend us.
I encourage you all to PRAY! Pray as you never have before for the Lords will to be done! Not the will of ourselves or what
we may THINK is proper and right.
Turn this over to the Lord and get on with the Lords business. What a distraction has come. What a tool for division has
Satan loosed upon us. And we just welcomed it right into the church and homes of Gods people with open arms.
Don't you know that it is He that convicts, but it is the evil one that condemns?
There is much that we do not know, and as with David and Bathsheba, we do not see where David took His filthy adultery
and murder before a people, but to God and before the one God sent to reveal by the light of His word! THINK!
If I am wrong then I answer to the Lord. But in my heart I see a crossroads for this country and for His people here. And
indeed maybe globally.
Will WE be a merciful people? Will WE forgive as He even forgave us? Will WE be that picture of Christ before a world
where WE preach these things but do not truly practice them? It is not WE who are to judge in this way. It is He, our
Lord. He is sovereign.
I am not seeking absolution from the government or law in this, but I am seeking to find a people that would walk in the
ways of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and put His ways above the ways of our own flesh and that of the worlds.
Let His will BE DONE, but let us never forsake OUR CALLING. To intercede FOR not AGAINST.
Lord! Turn our leaders around! I pray such a quick turn around in our leaders, both in the government and the church, that
the nation would spin! Let the world see that YOU DO THIS THING! Let the world see Your forgiveness AND Your
judgments! Let the world see Your justice! Lord! Show us Your mercy and grace that we might show it to another. Glorify
Your name Oh God in us! Save us Oh God! Forgive us our pride and selfish ways Oh Lord! Let the world see Your work in
this and let the world see Your people act true to Your will in this. Turn the face of our President towards You, no matter
the consequences that come for His actions. And let Your words be true.
Come Lord come!........AMEN

Who Are You, What Are You Known As?

Darrell H. MacChamber
I want to share a little story with you today. Joe was a drunk who was miraculously converted at a Bowery mission. Prior
to his conversion, he had gained the reputation of being a dirty wino for whom there was no hope, only a miserable
existence in the ghetto. But following his conversion to a new life with God, everything changed. Joe spent his days and
nights hanging out at the mission. Joe became the most caring person that anyone associated with the mission had ever
known. He was always there doing whatever needed to be done.
There was never anything that he was asked to do that was beneath him, it could have been and was, cleaning up vomit
left by some sick man or woman with alcohol in his system, or cleaning the men's room after someone had another
accident. Joe did whatever he did with a smile on his face and a seeming gratitude for the chance to help.
He could be counted on to feed feeble men who wandered off the street and into the mission, and to undress and tuck
them into a bed when they were to beside themselves to care for just even the basic needs and want.
One evening when the director was delivering the evening evangelistic message to the usual crowd of still sullen men with
drooped heads, there was one man who looked up, came down the aisle to the alter, and knelt and prayed.
He cried out, "Oh God! Make me like Joe." This repentant man kept shouting, "Make me like Joe. Make me like Joe,
Make me like Joe.!!!!"
The director of the mission leaned over and said, "Son, I think it would be better if you prayed, "Make me like Jesus." The
man looked up at the director with a quizzical expression on his face and asked, "Is he like Joe?"
What is the secret of this little story here? I am so glad you asked!!! Now I have the chance to enlighten you. You see
folks everyone of us has stood in a place where we were dirty, filthy, the lowest of the low. Paul even called himself the
"chiefest" among sinners. But Praise Be To God!!!!! Forever, He looked down from the throne room of heaven and said, "I
have chosen you. I have made up my mind to Love you, to care for you, to hear your prayers, to look after your needs, to
bring you out of a place where you were bound and dying and headed for yes, the word we don't often hear anymore,
Hell. Fire everlasting, Eternal Destruction. Forever locked away from the care of a loving God...........Forever. Forever. and
Forever.
What did God see in me preacher? He saw a life that could be used to touch the lives of his creation. He saw someone
with the tools needed to reach out to someone else and point them to the God who had freed them.
If you are only reaching out to the ones in the finest suits and dresses at church on Sunday morning and you pass the
down and out on the street on the way to church on Sunday night, you sir, you madam have become a Pharisee. You
people have lost the vision of what Christ has done for you and what you are here to do for someone else. Shame on us.
shame on us. shame on us. The bible is clear when it spoke about us entertaining angels unaware. You mean having a
party with them? Is that what the entertaining meant? No a thousand times No!! It meant that we were to be about being
Active not just in preaching the gospel but walking the Gospel, Talk is cheap, people who are hurting don't need to see
your religious doctrines they need to see the Jesus that walks in peoples lives on the earth today, they need to see
Jesus in you so much that they can't tell the difference when you to stand side by side. My friends, Jesus wants us to
imitate Him. His Love, and the care he had for others. I am tired of all the excuses that we come up with to say why we
can't do something for God, I am ready to start hearing, God I will do something with what I have for you no matter what
that is... Why do you think He gave you gifts to use anyway? Was it just so you could do your own thing and feel good
about yourself? I don't think that is the reason why at all. he gave you those gifts so you could reach out and touch some
ones life for the benefit of Christ. But preacher, I don't have time. My friend, I'm forever glad that as busy as God is He
never said, "I don't have time." Somehow he took time for you and I, other wise we wouldn't even be here today.
Church where is your focus? Where does your heart go after you leave on Sunday Morning? Like the man in the story of
Joe, He was touched because someone brought him the gift of Love and care and then gave him the Word of Life. Gods
Word will never go without having an effect on peoples lives, but what a dynamic combination when you mix the Word
with the acts of Love and care. You have an unbeatable force that Satan in all of his fury can not destroy or sway.
Church. Use your talents your time and your gifts to reach this world for Christ. God has already given you the tools, now
use them. If you are unclear as to what He would have you do, Pray. Don't just go to the alter and utter word after word,
but rather lay out your needs to him, ask him to heal and forgive what need to be healed and forgiven, then begin to ask
him, to show you someone who needs that special touch that only he can give and allow yourself to be used as the tool
so that can come about. Some body might someday get you confused with Jesus. That is a good thing.
There is even hope for you Mr. or Mrs. or Mr. and Miss. Pharisee. You see you serve a God who is rich in mercy and
grace. Probably so much more than you have allowed yourself to realize and know beyond the little rules of religious
order you have set up for your life. True Religion is what? It is reaching out to those in need and not allowing status to get
in the way. God loves us All the same measure. None of us are more than the other, all of us need his touch of love and
grace. I want it more and more in my life. Why? because I don't want to be the one standing behind when the church
goes home to be with the Lord and I don't want to hear those Words uttered by the Christ, "Depart from me you
unprofitable servant." How can I do that? Examine the things you do. even in the light of ministry. Why do you do what
you do? Is it for your own glory? do you truly have the call of God? Is he showing you things to do for him, possibly even
in your own home? When was the last time you spent just holding your wife or husband? Telling your kids you loved
them? reaching out to your home folks who possibly don't know the love of Christ, but are waiting to see if it's real in your
life first before they step out.
I know this is long, but it needs to be said. If you are not hearing this in your church then I challenge you to find one that
preaches the full Word of God, Why? because sometimes the Word needs to get to the deep places of the heart where
hardness has set in and pastors are more interested in the money they would lose if they made some folks upset and
unhappy. I praise God that I am in a church that does just that, sometimes the Word will come out and tear up some
theology and cause me to rethink why I do some of the things I do. I need that as much as you in my sphere of cyber-
influence.
I want to close with just this last thought. You want love to be active in your life, then you first must activate it in your life
first to someone else. Selfish people die every day and meet the Master. I wonder how many would like a second chance
to come back and do it all over again?
What will the remainder of this year find you doing? The path you go is totally up to you.

My Wilderness Dream:
Valerie Barks
The Lord gave me a dream a couple of weeks ago and it was a very powerful one. I was wondering if you could please
post it on your web-site for others to read?
I was traveling as fast as light? Standing on my feet going forward. All around me was barren land. No trees, no people,
no animals, nothing.....just flat dry barren land.
I was in a wilderness area. As my body was moving forward my feet were not touching the ground and I was moving very
fast. As I was moving forward disasters were happening all around me. They would start as soon as I would be there! I
don't know if I was the one making them happen or not.
Telephone poles that lined a highway were falling down like dominoes, as soon as I would reach them they would fall.
Little twisters were starting all around me. Some on my right side, some on my left and some ahead of me. It seemed as
though I was trying to make my way towards the mountains that I could see in the far distance. I wasn't afraid, but I was
in awe that this was happening all around me and that I could travel so quickly.
I believe that this dream was a glimpse of how the Lord may use us in the future. We may be able to travel in the spirit,
as did Philip after he baptized the Eunuch from Ethiopia. There are some parts of the dream that I still don't understand
clearly. I'm waiting on the Lord for the interpretation.
You be blessed my brother,
Valerie Barks

The Will Of The Father

Dwight Jester
I have been praying prayers for the last several days concerning the will of God being done as
opposed to the will of Satan being done. I have seen some miraculous things begin to happen. This is
a beginning draft that I am putting together to write about this kind of praying.
Would you pray it for a few days about circumstances in your life, and the people around you, then let
me know what happens.
I would also be interested in any suggestions, you might have that would make it more powerful and
helpful for you and other people.
In Him, Dwight
PRAYING FOR THE WILL OF THE FATHER TO BE DONE.
(Mat 6:10 KJV) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
The most powerful prayer you can pray in the universe is to pray that the will of the Father will be done
as it is done in heaven. The second most powerful prayer is to pray that the Father will set aside the
will of Satan and make it of no effect in any area of the universe, world, circumstances, your life, and
the life of the people around you. These prayers are universal prayers and you can pray them for
Christians, non-Christians, circumstances, situations, etc.
You can not pray the prayers with a hidden agenda, supposing that as you pray God is going to
answer your prayer the way you want him to. He will never do that. He will always answer your prayer
exactly the way He wills for it to happen. For you to believe that you know better than God what is the
best way for Him to answer your prayer, or the way it should be answered is god-playing and is trying
to manipulate God. God does not allow you to manipulate Him. He is God and He does everything
according to His will, not your will. Not only that, you could not possibly know what is best for you, for
the people around you, or what is best for God. God knows all this and he will carry out His will in the
best interest of all people concerned.
(Eph 3:20 KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
This means way above what we can ask or figure out. Let's be honest and admit that we are not God
and we really don't know what is best for us or the people around us. I know it is a hard pill to swallow,
however, I would ask you to be honest and look at how well you have done with your life and the lives
of other people when you have tried to figure out what was best for you and for other people. It is
sobering to think about it isn't it?
(Rom 3:4 KJV) God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar!
There are only two beings whose wills are accomplished and carried out in the world-God's and
Satan's. All other wills are under the control of one or the other-no matter how much we may protest to
the contrary. Your will is either submitted to God or to Satan. There is not a third choice. The only free
choice I have is to whose will am I submitted. The Will of God limits even Satan's will. Satan can not
go past what God allows him to do. Some people will protest, at this point, and say why would God
allow Satan to cause the evil, death, and destruction he causes in the world. It only takes place where
we, as humans, come into agreement with the will of Satan. As someone has said, "God says yes,
Satan says no, and we cast the deciding vote." This saying gives us the key as to how we should pray.
We should always pray in line with the will of the Father, even when we don't know what the will of the
Father is in a particular situation. It is always the safest thing to do and it effectively blocks the will and
purpose of Satan in the matter.
Jesus blocked the will of Satan when he said to the Father, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup
pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." (Mat 26:39 NKJV). You block Satan's will
when you pray the same prayer.
HOW DO WE PRAY FOR THE WILL OF THE FATHER TO BE DONE?
Father, I pray that Your will be done in (describe the situation and the people in it) as it is in heaven. I
come into complete agreement and submission to your will in this matter. I surrender any ideas or
thoughts I may have about how I would like for it to turn out. I only want your will to be done-not mine or
any person involved in this situation.
Father, I ask you set aside and remove the will of Satan from this situation and the people involved in
it. (You may name the situation and the people involved again. This seems to add power to the
prayer). Father, I have no desire for Satan's will to be involved in this matter in anyway. I only want your
will to be done and no other.
Father, I thank you for carrying out Your Will in this matter, and I honor and glorify you for doing Your
Will. I pray this in the Name of Jesus Christ, My Lord. Dwight Jester eminc@mindspring.com

PRAYING THROUGH THE WINDOW IV

By C. Peter Wagner
The world has never seen a prayer movement matching what God has been doing during the
decade of the 1990s. No one at all could possibly comprehend or accurately measure its magnitude. I
would suspect, however, that the one who is the most aware of the power of this prayer movement
would be the devil himself. He has never lost so much territory in such short a time. He has great wrath
because he knows his time is short (see Rev. 12:12), but there is little he can do about the advance of
the kingdom of God.
The body of Christ in every continent has been mobilizing for the great air war preceding the entrance
of the ground troops—the missionaries and church planters and pastors and evangelists—who will go
to the front lines to complete the Great Commission. Ours is the first generation ever to see light
at the end of the Great Commission tunnel. Nothing has been more important in bringing us to this
point than the rapidly expanding prayer movement that you and I are a part of.
Of course, powerful prayer for world evangelization did not start with the organization of the AD2000
United Prayer Track at the beginning of our decade. Faithful people have been standing in the gap for
centuries. But, by God’s grace, both the quality and the quantity of prayer have accelerated
enormously. One of our major vehicles for bringing Christians to pray together "in one accord," as
Luke says in the Book of Acts, is the Praying Through the Window series. Let’s refresh our memories:
Praying Through the Window I was conducted during October 1993. The target was the 62 nations
of the 10/40 Window. Christian Information Network, led by Beverly Pegues, published and distributed
a prayer calendar listing two of the nations each day during the 31 days of October. The Sentinel
Group, led by George Otis, Jr., researched and published a book called Strongholds of the 10/40
Window (YWAM Publishing), which served as a guide for targeting our prayers. When we began we
wondered if we might be able to help 1 million Christians to pray in one accord for the same nation on
the same day during the month. However, when we finished, we found that 21 million had joined to
fight the air war with powerful prayer!
During that prayer thrust, 188 prayer journey teams took 257 journeys visiting every nation of the 10/40
Window but one to pray on site. And that was only the number officially recorded. The actual number
would have been much higher. All the wonderful blessings of this unprecedented prayer initiative are
recorded in the amazing book, WindoWatchman (Christian Information Network).
Praying Through the Window II was held during October 1995. This time the target was the 100
Gateway Cities of the 10/40 Window. The prayer calendar featured three cities on some days and
four cities on other days. Some 36 million prayed in one accord for the same city on the same day
through the month. A book was published entitled, Praying Through the 100 Gateway Cities of the
10/40 Window (YWAM Publishing). Although not all were officially recorded at Christian Information
Network, an estimated 10,000 prayer journeyers went into the gateway cities to pray on site. All this is
reported in the book, WindoWatchman II (Christian Information Network).
Praying Through the Window III took place in October 1997. We were praying for the 1,739
significant unreached people groups of the 10/40 Window, grouped into 130 clusters. The final tally is
not in, but we would not be surprised if 50 million believers were praying together for the unreached
people groups. A book, The Unreached Peoples of the 10/40 Window was published by YWAM.
Bethany World Prayer Center of Baker, LA researched and published 4-page profiles of all 1,739
unreached peoples. Manna Church of Fayetteville, NC has enlisted between 10 and 20 local churches
to pray for a particular unreached people group through the year 2000. Thousands took prayer
journeys to the unreached peoples of their choice.
Now: Praying Through the Window IV

The final global prayer effort of the AD2000 United Prayer Track is scheduled for October 1999. But,
happily, it will not be the last such prayer effort because Campus Crusade for Christ, under the
leadership of Vonette Bright and Ben Jennings, will carry these efforts forward through the year 2000,
and beyond the 10/40 Window to include the rest of the world.
This time we will have a broad focus and a detailed focus. The broad focus will be the nations of the
10/40 Window, similar to 1993 (although a couple of new nations have come into being since then).
Once again we will circulate a prayer calendar and pray for certain nations on certain days throughout
the month of October. Incidentally, some have said that these prayer calendars are the most circulated
single sheets of paper in the whole Christian world. I don’t doubt it.
The detail will come with the "Million People Target Areas" (MPTAs) that Campus Crusade has been
researching and targeting for years. The major cities of the 10/40 Window each contain one or more
of these MPTAs. Outside of the cities they are clustered around what we are calling a "Strategic
Town." The book helping us to target our prayers for this initiative will contain maps of each of the
nations with the location of each of the cities and Strategic Towns within the nation. Many home-
based and church-based intercessors will pray specifically for these cities and towns, and it is hoped
that prayer journey teams will visit each one of them for on site prayer.
To keep continuity with Praying Through the Window III, the description of the cities and towns will
each contain a list of those among the 1,739 unreached people groups which are present in
significant numbers. In this way we will be praying for nations, for cities, and for unreached people
groups as we pray for the Million People Target Areas in October 1999.
When we do that, Campus Crusade takes over. They have plans called the "Macedonia Project"
through which they hope to send prayer journey teams into all the rest of the MPTAs, even outside the
10/40 Window. And, even more, they are launching an effort to motivate the prayer leaders of each
nation of the whole world to designate and implement one month of prayer for their nation in 2000. We
will all be part of that process.
This is by far the most exciting and potentially the most effective prayer initiative we have ever
undertaken. Please pray for this, and specifically for the members of the Praying Through the Window
IV committee: Michael Little of CBN, chairperson; Vonette Bright of Campus Crusade, co-
chairperson; Beverly Pegues of Christian Information Network, secretary; C. Peter Wagner of
AD2000 United Prayer Track; Luis Bush of AD2000 International Office; Doris Wagner of Global
Harvest Ministries; Ben Jennings of Campus Crusade; Fred Markert of YWAM Strategic Frontiers;
John Robb of World Vision International; Stephen Strang of Strang Communications; Floyd McClung
of YWAM, Trinidad; and Dick Eastman of Every Home for Christ.

The Wineskins
Matt Lewin
"My eye roams the earth, all I see is a dry parched earth, all the old vessels are wrinkled and cracked,
they cling to old doctrines and do not embrace my new wine. These old vessels have become
cracked and useless the wine that is poured is spilt on the ground, a waste, I tire of these old vessels
wasting my precious gift.
My new wine is potent and cannot be contained in these old vessels, the new vessels that this wine is
poured into are supple, flexible and ready to do my will in a heart beat. There are very few of these
new vessels, but I the living God shall multiply these new vessels to be more numerous than grains of
sand on the sea shore.
I shall pour my spirit into these new humble vessels, they shall become my harvesters, I shall take the
homeless, drunks, drug-addicts and prostitutes I shall teach them and raise them, I shall exalt them
above the establishment of the church. I shall fill them with my spirit, they shall be living and holy
temples, signs and wonders shall accompany them wherever they go. I have spoken and it shall be so.
These new vessels shall be full of mercy and compassion for the homeless, drunks, drug-addicts they
shall completely lean on me and I shall provide for all their physical needs for they have nothing to
loose but everything to gain in me through my glorious riches in my beloved son. I exalt the lowly and
the proud are put down, those who stand tall and are full of pride I shall break with my rod of discipline.
All should lean on me, I am the living God, all things are possible to me, for I am the God of the
impossible! My true ones shall completely rely on me through the glorious riches of me beloved son
shall I bless them. These new humble vessels shall come into new pastures that I have, here shall they
find rest, here shall I teach them my ways.
The old vessels shall be tossed aside for they delight in the old ways that are long since dead. I am
the same yesterday, today and forever, I change the way that I do things. My people should also be
adaptable, flexible and ready for battle whenever I blow my trumpet. I this day am blowing my trumpet
over the whole earth, my harvesters shall rise and my glory shall be upon them, the dawning of the new
day begins.
These old vessels have found comfort in the world, they have become of this world and not part of the
new heaven and new earth when I shall destroy all the works of the evil one for all eternity. I shall cast
him into the fires of my judgement. I long for the old vessels to come to me with a broken and
repentant heart, if they come I shall embrace them and retrain them in my new ways.
The old vessels that repent of old dogmas and doctrines shall find rest and mercy in my new pastures.
No wolves shall be found among my flock, the old vessels have become mutated into wolves and
bound by theology, they do not delight in my truth and spirit. They have become prisoners of their own
understanding, if they would let me I would give them the understanding that they long for.
I speak to my church as I the living God rise from my slumber to take action, I will no longer keep still or
silent. The evil one thinks that he has got away from judgement, he shall have nowhere to hide. The
strongholds of old I destroyed I laid waste to the great civilizations that Satan once traveled to.
Through his trading did he become corrupt and an abomination to my eye. I shall fold up the whole of
creation.
But first I the living God shall gather my wheat. My ways are not your ways my children, do not fret I am
coming in great majesty and power, through humble vessels that I may pour my power and majesty
into. Always remember that I created you in my image to reflect my power and glory to the whole earth
and I shall accomplish my will. Rise my humble and beloved new vessels, I shall nurture you to
maturity. I this day begin to fast track many in my wisdom and understanding and anointing. I the Lord
have spoken." [JER 13:12-15]
The Lord has spoken, may he be glorified now and forever more.

A Prophetic Witness For This Year [1998]

Lars Enarson
[This article is as appeared in the weekly prayer update by Reuven Doron of Embrace Israel Ministries.]
The following prophetic witness was forwarded to us from our dear friend (and one of our co-workers in Israel) Lars
Enarson. It was submitted to him early this year from a member of his Elijah Prayer Army. The writer was somewhat
generic, being shaken by the velocity of the message; we submit it for your discernment and prayer:
"I saw a pool of water, nothing special about it except that it was glass smooth. Then I saw a stone fall into the water and
watched as the rings spread out, getting larger until they reached the banks. I began to pray: 'Lord, what does this
mean?' This is what I believe the Lord showed me:
"The circles represent the cycles that everything runs in. The stone is Jesus Christ. He is the beginning and the end. All
things come from Him and are for His purpose. Each cycle has a beginning and an end. These are the cycles I believe
God has shown me:
1. We have had a cycle of prosperity, now begins a downward turn. Things will have changed by the end of 1998.
2. The earth will again experience the cycle of birth pains; storms, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and more and more
natural disasters.
3. There have been many world conquerors in history; some famous, some infamous, all with the same desire: To rule
the world at whatever cost! God brought good from evil. God used man's evil intent to bring about His will. This year,
another leader will emerge who will want to rule the world. Whether he will be the Antichrist or just an antichrist, I don't
know.
4. There will be an increase in deception. More will believe a lie.
5. God is calling for repentance. We are serving other gods. We have put our faith and trust in other things. God is not
our source. We are looking to technology, medicine, our station in life, our investments, our business or job. These
things are not wrong, they are avenues, or tools, but we are looking to them for our salvation in this life. God has said,
"Have no other gods before me."
6. Whatever happens in the world politically will have an effect on Israel."

A Word For The Joshua-Generation

Moon Manning
Judging from the characteristic qualities of this present generation of youth, I think it is safe to say:
"THE KINGDOM OF GOD SUFFERETH VIOLENCE, AND THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE".
This is a generation that will truly confront the issues that have bred apathy and passivity among baby
boomer Christians. This Joshua-Generation will not tolerate fluff theology and doctrines of demons.
They read the scripture and believe that God means what he says, no apologies, no deeply
theological reasonings required.
I am honored, although a baby boomer myself, to become allied with those that are fast-forward
thinking, forward acting, Beast challenging, tradition trampling, Body ministering, needy helping, sin
rebuking, self preservation abandoning, Jesus only following, disciples of the Living God.
This Joshua-Generation will not swallow the liars' hook: "NO IT JUST ISN'T DONE THAT WAY" as a
viable answer. Give me chapter and verse this Joshua-generation will say! They will accept the
wisdom of age only from those actively engaged in the conflict. The wilderness carcass will be
abandoned without ceremonial rites. "LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD", Jesus stated in a time of
intense revival. Its time we follow Christ first, regardless of the appearance and approval of man!
To this generation, church structures and government are only a means to an end. They serve no
purpose if they are not submitted to the cause of promoting Christ and his kingdom ---> FIRST!
This generation cries out, WHERE ARE THE TRUE DISCIPLES OF JESUS! WHERE IS THE
POWER OF HIS MAJESTY! Their music is the music of change, the song of the revolutionary, the
trumpet blast of the prophetic wind. I say to you JOSHUA-GENERATION, "LET NO MAN DESPISE
YOUR YOUTH"!
The spiritual squatters will try and tell you that you are bringing division, but I say to you, that you will
bring the SWORD of the SPIRIT! You will not fall into the temptation to please man and compromise
truth by using mealy-mouthed references to 'love'. What fruit has this so called 'love' yielded? Time has
proven that this, charm-o-matic, California style, love is nothing more the passive complicity of the
spirit crushing status quo. This Son will rise in the East and set in the West!
I say to those that are tearfully bored in Zion: 'Woe unto those that do not submit to the disciplined
chastening of the Lord!'
You will demonstrate that respect does not mean complacency. You will challenge the coalition of
compromise. You will be a living reproof to the hindering spirits. You will be a handful of salt in the
eyes of those that have infiltrated the church with less than noble motives.
STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED, SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS, ABLE TO RIGHTLY

DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH AND TO PRESENT A REASONED SCRIPTURAL ANSWER, FOR
THE HOPE THAT LIES WITHIN.
Are you committed to revolution at all cost! Your heart reveals the location of your treasure. Its Jesus!

White Linen Over Germany

Catherine Brown
INTRODUCTION This vision was given on Saturday 11 July, 1998 (the day of Prayer for Germany) .
THE VISION Part 1 During prayer time this morning, the Lord showed me many, many Churches in
Germany. There was a strange phenomena taking place. It was as if there was a fire and it was
imploding INTO the Churches. After the fire had imploded it then exploded out from the Churches and I
could see that they were all ablaze. I believe this is a work of refining and holiness of the Holy Spirit on
His people, which will be followed by an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the nation.
This afternoon as the Lord laid Germany on my heart, I could see the outline of the nation of Germany
and I could see an enormous flag descending upon it. The colours were red, yellow and black. It
entirely covered the nation and seemed to be held down in many places. As I looked closer I could
see that there were many hands holding the flag and yet there was a wind which was blowing and
trying to lift if off the land. The Lord showed me this flag is symbolic of national/denominational pride
and it was being held down by "religion". Many denominations were represented in the places where
the flag was held.
I thought of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and it seemed such a now scripture for Germany. The Lord reminded
me again of the churches this morning which were ablaze with the Holy Spirit. I felt He was saying "I
am calling you to lift up holy hands, My beloved Germany. I am doing a work from the inside on My
people, a refining to bring holiness. That you might take it out to the nation. I am calling you to a time of
sanctification. I am stripping away before the anointing says the Lord, for surely in your nakedness I
will cover you with My righteousness for I am your Father who loves you and desires the best for you. I
desire that all should come to repentance and that none should perish and I am doing a work of
preparation in this nation that My Spirit might be poured out in great measure. That all men will be
drawn to Me, for surely as My Son is lifted up, so shall all men be drawn to Me".
From this I could see that many hearts were responding to the Lord's call to pray for this nation, and as
His holiness descended upon Germany, by the lifting of holy hands in prayer and supplication, a great
Wind came and it blew from the 4 corners and carried away the flag, carrying away the pride because
the people had come in humility
before God and were crying out to Him to heal the land. I could see that Nazi slogans were being
swept away also in the Wind. I could see that there were many in Germany who were embracing Israel
upon their hearts. There was such a sense of redeeming. Such a sense of laying down the past and
walking in the anointing of today, for the future of this precious nation in the hands of our Father. Such
a sense of healing from the Father, to so many who were hurting, the oil of Gilead was truly flowing to
bring healing and to bring peace.
I was reminded of Peter and how the Lord showed him in a vision of a white sheet descending from
Heaven, that salvation was not just for the Jew but also for the Gentile. I believe this particular vision is
the Lord's way of reminding us that salvation is not just for the Gentile but also for the Jew. The
"tables" as it were, have turned.
As the flag was blown away, I could see an enormous white dove settling over Germany. The
presence of the Holy Spirit was descending mightily upon the nation and He was draping white linen
across the land, where the flag of national pride had once been, now was replaced by the
righteousness of Jesus, (the linen being symbolic of the righteous acts of the saints).
I could see that the saints were joining hands all across the nation. The whole of Germany was ablaze
with white linen, with the saints joined in prayer, their was such an outpouring of faith, such unity, such
beautiful obedience to Jesus. From the centre of the land I could see an enormous cross begin to rise
out of the earth and over the nation. The redemptive gift of the cross was now being displayed
resplendant from the very centre of the land. The name of Jesus the banner over Germany.
The colours show in the vision - black, red and yellow - they are the colours of the German flag and
also, the colours of the Belgium flag - one goes horizontal wise and the other vertical wise, but the
colours are the same. I did not know the flags of each of these countries and the Lord gave this to me
as part of the intepretation, explaining that the colours represented the flags of the nation of Germany
and that of the nation of Belgium.
Part 2 There was also another image which seemed to be a part of the vision - I could see there was
a huge bridge being built which seemed to be going to Brussels. I could see the colours black, red
and yellow but this time they were flowing in a vertical way and they seemed to be flowing from
Germany back across the Belgium. I sensed that the Lord was building a "bridge" - perhaps a bridge
to revival? I sensed that this was a bridge which was not built for "power" or "politics" but it was being
built for Kingdom purposes.

When, Lord, When?

Pastor Bret Wade
"When, Lord, when?" Have you ever wondered when God would come through for you against your enemies? I have many
times. Concerns would arise as my thoughts would go in the "when" direction. Oftentimes, in reality, it was not me
waiting on the deliverance of the Lord but rather the Lord waiting on me to move forward in faith. How many times have we
arrived in a situation only to be stalemated. Not moving forward or backwards. Just feeling like we weren't going anywhere
at all - just stuck.
Jeremiah 48:10b reads "Cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood." Now I realize that most of us would say,
"that doesn't apply to my life". But it applies to all of us! Why would our loving Lord say such a thing? Because He wants
His army to be blessed and not cursed! Cursed?! Yes, cursed! To bless means to empower to prosper. To curse means
to empower to fail. I like the "bless" part a whole lot more better! Or if you're like me "mo' betta"! If you understand what I
mean! However it's said, just be blessed! How can we be blessed then?
Well, we have to understand that God is a warrior. He is the Lord of Hosts. Or the Lord of Armies. He has a war
mentality. When we become passive with our enemy, we have already lost. "Cursed is he who keeps back his sword
from blood." When God has put the sword in our hands and we do not use it to destroy the enemy of our souls, we have
surely brought failure upon our own heads.
We can go through all the motions of what we call spiritual warfare. Motions are simply prophetic gestures for the follow
through of war. Warriors must "psyche" themselves before fighting. We, as, chosen warriors must gird up the loins of our
minds. It's time not only to declare war, but to follow through by drawing blood from the satanic hosts that come against
us! What has your enemy said to you? Has he stood in the valley as Goliath bellowing threats? Don't listen to his threats
and consider you incapability any longer! Get up from where you are in your life and make a decision to destroy him! Lord
Sabaoth has placed a sword in your hand! Will you use it?
What sword?! How about the sword of giving to defeat poverty? the sword of praise to defeat mourning? the sword of faith
to defeat fear? the sword of persistence to defeat quitting? the sword of prayer to defeat hopelessness? the sword of
friendship to defeat loneliness? What is your sword? It's whatever God has put into your hand that has the power when
it's used to take the life force from your spiritual opposition. Draw blood! Be Blessed! Win! You can do it or He never
would have trusted you with the sword that's in your hand!

Winds Of Change
I would like to share with you what the Lord shared with me this last Sunday during our Sunday morning service. We had
an awesome time in praise and worship and we had a message from the Lord. As the message was going forth I too was
receiving from the Lord, though I did not speak out I wrote down what I was given, and now I take the time to share with
you as well.
the following are what came to me; "Winds of change are blowing across our land, many things we felt were unmovable
are being shaken to the very foundations they are built upon. People we could place trust and respect we no longer are
finding it easy to find these people, things we thought would surly be around forever have begun to fail, But as we look at
all of these things we are reminded that the Lord is SOLID, UNMOVABLE, UNCHANGING, it is a personal comfort to me
to know that. I can be assured of him never failing or falling. Also the Lord gave me the thought to not just hold our
ground, but rather to gain ground. For too long I have even taught and preached that we must hold the fort, folks I am
changing my outlook on that. I am no longer satisfied with simply holding the fort till he (Lord) comes, but I want to leave
the comfort of the fort and it's isolation and storm the gates of hell. I think it's time we begin to not allow ourselves to be
on the defensive but be on the offence. Peoples lives are at sake, more importantly, people are dying in this present day
and what are we doing to leave the comfort of our forts to reach the lost and dying for Christ?
This means War. Haven't we been called soldiers of the cross? If I understand that, then, soldiers can't be soldiers
unless they are involved in the heat of battle.
When was the last time you did battle with the enemy? I think it safe to say here that if it has been some time,
something is wrong. Time is getting short and Satan is doing all he can to cause us to feel defeated and ineffective in our
push to win souls, but he is totally a liar. We are the Body of the Risen Lord Christ, we have the power available to us to
storm the gates of hell. What are we doing church? Are we getting together a couple of time a week to just refuel to go
sit in the comfort of our homes and not reach out? God forbid!!! He hasn't called us to that, He has called us to do battle
for the lives of people. We need to understand that in battle though it is uncomfortable, it is not bad. You are not out of
God's will. You are there!!!!! Battle promotes growth when we are in victory.
All of these thoughts came during the time of service yesterday, I know that God was speaking to me, and now through
me to you out in cyberland, now my job is done. What will you do with what the Lord is saying. Part of the message in
our church service yesterday was a repeated phrase from the Lord saying, "When I speak hear, When I speak listen,
when I speak do. He was being forceful yet loving. Folks we are in the most wonderful time I believe we could be in. We
can even through the problems, see the greatest move of God in this decade. Lives changed, and people set free to the
life of Christ. Truly exciting times. I am not satisfied with a light drizzle, I want to be fully immersed in this move of God.
My prayer is God use me to be the tool to help someone else make it home.
I just wanted to share these thoughts with you and challenge you to look up and do more for Christ. Our work will not go
without hassle, but it will go forth through the Power of the Holy Spirit, Yes even with signs following. My question, are
you awake enough to look and see. I hope your answer was not just Yes. But Yes and I want more.
A Visit from the Wolf;

A Word for the Pastors
Bill Somers
The test of the true shepherd is how he reacts when the wolf comes.
During a recent worship service, one of our songs was This Joy That I Have. The lyric includes the lines, "The world didn’t
give it to me and the world can’t take it away."
As we worshipped with this song, the Lord gave me a word for Pastors.
First I imagined that Jesus was singing the song. This is fitting since He endured the Cross because of the Joy He saw
ahead. Then the lyric changed to This Church that I have, the world didn’t give it to me, and the world can’t take it away.
This brought to mind a passage from scripture:
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my
hand.
My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's
hand. John 10:27-29 (KJV)
Now the sheep are the church, and they are given to Jesus by the Father and no one can pluck them out of His hand. So
He can say the world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away!
Next thing is to apply this to each pastor in the church. His flock is given to him by the Lord, not the world, not his own
efforts. And the world can’t take them away. They may leave on their own, but if they are hearing the voice of Great
Shepherd through their pastor, they will follow.
The test of the true shepherd is how he reacts when the wolf comes.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. John 10:12-13 (KJV)
The hireling flees while the true shepherd remains faithful.
What else does the bible have to say about hirelings?
And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to
serve as a bondservant:
But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of
jubilee:
And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family,
and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. Leviticus 25:39-41
This tells us that a hired servant shall serve until the year of jubilee, and then he shall depart. In other words the hireling
will depart during the year of jubilee.
And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jer 3:15 (KJV)
Now jubilee is a time of great rejoicing and celebrating. It speaks of End Time Revival and Harvest. But as we read in the
passage from John above, The Hireling only flees when he sees the Wolf coming.
In other words The Hireling doesn’t flee till he sees the Wolf coming.!
Now put two and two together and you will see that in the jubilee {Revival] you can expect a visit from the wolf
[Judgment].
This idea of joy in the midst of judgment is expressed in many various ways in scripture. For instance.
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first
house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many
shouted aloud for joy:
So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the
people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off. Ezra 3:12-13 (KJV)
And
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him. Ps 126:6 (KJV)
This last verse is a picture of the true and faithful pastor.

Woman in The Ephah

Roger Daniel
Taken From Dreams & Visions List Nr. 212
Several weeks I preached a message from Zechariah. 3 on the brand plucked from the burning. It is one of eight visions
given to the prophet Zechariah. I know you are familiar with this passage -- it describes God's initiative of grace and
mercy to cleanse the defiled nation of Israel (represented by Joshua the High Priest). Plucked as a brand from the
burning, God cleanses, clothes and crowns Joshua and gives him the promise of access to the Lord's presence. It is a
wonderful picture of God's mercy and grace.
After preaching this message, I was drawn by the Lord to consider the other visions of Zechariah., in particular the visions
in chapter. 5. In the first half of this chapter, Zechariah. sees a flying scroll, written on both sides. On this scroll is a
warning for Israel to forsake sin -- sins against their brothers (lying) and sins against God (blasphemy). If they do not, a
curse will fall upon them.
The second half of this chapter. deals with hidden, entrenched wickedness in Israel -- symbolized by the "woman" hidden
in the ephah. As you know, the spirit of seduction is often symbolized in scripture by a woman (as in Rev. 2 -- Jezebel).
The Lord's dealing with me about this passage was quite intense. In a nut shell, here's what He has spoken to me about
it:
1. The Lord is moving in grace and mercy to cleanse and purify his body; to remove shame and reproach from the church
-- to cleanse, clothe, and crown us; to grant access to His presence.
2. But He is also warning us to forsake that which is evil and walk in purity before Him. The Word of God is not a
cafeteria line where we take what we like and leave what we don't like. The same Bible that give us the promise of
Zechariah. 3 also gives us the warnings of Zechariah. 5. We must not presume upon the grace and mercy of God and
mistakenly assume that Zechariah. 3 gives us permission to live in compromise and secret sin.
3. There are areas of entrenched evil, hidden within the body of Christ that God is about to expose and deal with. They
are not easily seen because they are covered (as in Zechariah.'s vision) and because the church lacks in discernment
(Rev. 3:17 -- "blind"; from a Greek word that means "opaque," like a "smoke screen" that prevents one from seeing
clearly; when the "fire" goes out we live in the smoke).
4. In particular, the Lord showed me 4 areas of "hidden, entrenched evil."
Pornography -- via the Internet, movies, cable television, rented cassettes, etc. George Barna and others have done
extensive research revealing that there is no distinction between the viewing habits of Christians and non-Christians.
Christians, including ministers, are watching the same pornographic filth as the world is watching.
Spiritual witchcraft -- illegitimate, counterfeit authority through manipulation, hype, and soul power (Rick Joyner's
definition). Without realizing it, much of the church operates in the spirit of witchcraft.
Materialism -- the obsession with money and preoccupation with "things."
Lukewarmness -- the apathy, half-heartedness, indifference, lack of commitment, absence of spiritual hunger, coldness
and deadness of the heart -- and all that is associated with it.
5. These "evils" are embedded in the life of the church. The church REFUSES to be corrected concerning these things
and REFUSES to repent of them. This stubborn, hard-heartedness has its root in the seduction of Jezebel -- Rev 2:21 - I
have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. (NIV)
6. It helps me understand why the "purging fire" (seen in my dream) is necessary. God loves the church too much to
leave her in this condition and the only way to cleanse her is in the fire. In the purging fire, He is going to purify the
church and prepare her for ministry to a nation (world) under judgment.
====================================
Now for the dream. Last Sunday morning, after preaching about these things, Tanya Henry (a young lady who grew up in
our church; now living in Modesto, CA; was visiting with her Mom and came to church last Sun. morning) came to me
after the service. She was very nervous; told me she had had a dream about two nights before. Here was her dream:
"I was in our old church building (the one she grew up in) and it was a Sunday evening service. The place was nearly
filled and everyone was worshipping God. Near the front was a large screen and a film projector was running. The film that
was being shown was a pornographic film [she was quite reluctant to tell me this]."
She said that I was pleading with people to repent of their sins, but she could see from my face that I was broken hearted
and sad because the people were resisting my words. Then she woke up.
I tried to assure her that she did the right thing by relating this to me and that the dream was, in fact, from the Lord.
It seems to me that because this dream pinpoints the Sunday evening service it suggests the "mainstream" of the
church -- not the Sunday morning, peripheral crowd. It says that in the mainstream of the church, among those who
worship God, there is a pornographic spirit that is tolerated and allowed -- that has its place in the Body because of hard,
resistant hearts that will not repent.
I believe that that scandal in the White House is but a reflection of America and the church. In the White House there is
pornography, cover-up, lying, and deceptive words. This is mirrored, not only in our society but in the church. I know this
sounds hard, but in the church there is a pornographic spirit, cover-up, lying and deceptive words. If you think Bill Clinton
"tapped danced" through the English language with his technical definition of "affair," "alone," etc., you should listen to
Christians rationalize, excuse and justify pornography in their homes!
Bill Clinton is being examined by the U.S. Congress, but the nation and the church is on trial before God. Remember
Rosh Hashanah? The Zodiac sign for the month of Tishri is a balance; a scale upon which things are weighed.
In Zechariah.'s vision, the lid was removed from the ephah and the hidden woman was exposed. God is about to "blow
the lid" off the entrenched evil hidden in His Body that she might be purified.
I've rambled on long enough. Thanks for listening.
In Christ's love, Roger

Prophetic Word for these Days

Jerry Coughlin
Michael A. Culbertson shared this prophetic word from Ann Shields
Thus says the Lord God, Behold I come. I come in Judgement; I come with justice in my hands. I come for those
who have spurned my word and scorned My law; I come to speak to those who have rejected by own Beloved Son.
The times will be difficult. The earth will be shaken. In that day, I want you to be ready to point the way to me. I do
not want you to doubt my presence or my care. I act to cause many to return to me. You learn now only to rely on
me. Depend not on the things of this world for much will be swept away in that time.
Depend on me. Depend only on me. For I wish to use you to bring many back to me. Many will cry out for help, for
answers in that time. Bring them to me. You must be firm and confident and sure in me, in my love, in my mercy. I
will not fail you. But depend on nothing but me. The time is now almost now at hand. Be ready. Sink your roots
deep in me that in the day of trial you will stand firm and give me glory for I will reveal myself and every knee will
bow."
The following is a word given at the Upper Room in Wellesley, Mass on April 26th. It seems to fit nicely with the word the
Lord gave our sister.
**I say to you the day of the Lord is near at hand.

The time has come to cross the Jordan and to enter into the promise.
Do not fear the giants. For though you are a grasshopper in their sight, they are but mites and ants in Mine.
Do not fear the kingdoms and strongholds of finance.
Do not fear the kingdoms and strongholds of politics.
Do not fear the kingdoms and strongholds of science.
Do not fear the kingdoms and strongholds of humanism.
For they are built on sand. But My Church and My People are built on solid rock and the day of the Lord is now near at
hand.
Do not *FEAR* when you see these kingdoms crumble. Cling tenaciously to My Grace and My Power. You are not of
these kingdoms. My Grace abides in you and flows through you. My People, even some of you, have been placed into
these kingdoms to bring hope when these kingdoms fall.
Oh My Children come to Me. Run to Me. I have more, so much more. How I long to pour out My Spirit on all creation.
Why do you hold back? What are you waiting for? Look to the lost. You have what they need. Do not fear for My Day
approaches and is even now upon you.**

World Revival
World revival may be starting in Argentina, pastor says
A 15-year-long tide of spiritual revival in Argentina may be the beginning of a wave that will reach the ends of the earth, an
Argentinean pastor says.
Pastors and church leaders from Argentina were in Dallas this week to relate dramatic changes they said God has
brought to their nation. More than 5,000 people are attending the Light of the Nation Conference May 5-8 to hear the
leaders speak. Workshops explore the reasons for the revival's longevity and how it can spread to other countries.
Church growth in Argentina, particularly among Pentecostals, has been so rapid that it is straining the resources of
congregations. The revival is credited for creating sparks that ignited the so-called Toronto Blessing several years ago
and other charismatic offshoots, including revival manifestations in Pensacola, Fla.
"I believe the last revival will be worldwide, not regional or even national," Pablo Deiros told Religion Today. "That revival is
coming, and maybe those first drops are seen in Argentina," said Deiros, pastor of Central Baptist Church in Buenos
Aires and a professor of church history at Fuller Theological Seminary. His congregation has added 2,000 members and
planted 17 satellite congregations in Argentina and other countries since the revival started, he said.
Christianity is in "the last watch of the night" before Christ returns, Deiros believes. Christians are using the spiritual
power available to them through prayer, fasting, and evangelism, resulting in the conversion of masses of people, he said.
The church is close to taking entire cities for Christ. In Resistencia, La Plata, and San Nicolas, Argentina, prayer and
evangelism have resulted in large numbers of converts and churches planted. Pastors fasted and prayed that the
influences of drugs, crime, sexual immorality, and alcoholism would be broken, and large evangelistic crusades produced
"amazing results," Deiros said.
Unity among pastors is a key to the Argentine revival, pastor Claudio Freidzon told Religion Today. Pastors from many
denominations and backgrounds, including charismatics, Pentecostals, Baptists, and Catholics, work and pray together
for revival. "The revival has lasted so long and had such an effect because we have grown in unity," he said. His Buenos
Aires church, King of Kings, grew from 12 members to 6,000 in 15 years. Other churches are experiencing similar
growth, Freidzon said. "The heavens are open, the glory is all over the place, and most churches are growing."
There is a growing consciousness in every city that Christ has only one church, Deiros said. "The Lord is not coming
back for a harem, but for a bride." Pastors say God is not looking for dozens of separate organizations, but wants a
church unified in spirit. Priests from the Catholic Church, once the nation's official denomination, are working together
with Protestants, although some high-level Catholic officials have criticized the revival, Deiros said.
The revival has brought personal change to people in all spheres of society, including politics and business, Deiros said.
It will take more time for social structures to change, as in the United States women's suffrage and the abolition of
slavery came about partially because of revivals early in the 18th century, he said.
"It is not just more prayer or fasting or jerking around in church," Deiros said. "It means obedience and that means a
revolution in how you use your life, your talents, and your money." Don't put the focus "just on the power" and dramatic
spiritual manifestations, Freidzon said. The emphasis should be on holy living, evangelism, preaching the gospel, and
worship. "We have seen a new level of unity and a deep preaching of the Word keep the revival going for years."

Though Shipwrecked, I'll Give You The Lives

Of Those Around You
Teresa Seputis
April 30, 1998
There are some of you here who have been feeling frustrated
in your relationship with Me.
You feel like you have somehow fallen backwards
and are not as close as you once were;
you cannot feel the depths of intimacy with Me
that you are used to.
Or you are one who knows how to hear My voice
but lately it has been a struggle to hear Me
clearly and correctly.
And you have been puzzled

and you have been crying out to Me
and asking Me what happened.
You have searched your heart for iniquity, but found none.
You have asked Me to show you what is wrong (intending to change it)
but I have shown you nothing.
You desire to meet Me on My terms,
but you don't know what I require of you right now.
Know this.. things are NOT as they seem.

I am not angry
I am not displeased
I am not far away.
There is been an onslaught in the spirit world

an increase of enemy resistance
his desire is to cause distance between you and I
and he is trying to convince you of nonexistent problems.
Things may not go right
things may not go smoothly
but that is not necessarily an indication of My displeasure
for, indeed, I am NOT displeased with you..
There will be times when
you struggle to maintain that intimacy with Me.
There will be times when
you make mistakes in hearing My voice.
Yes these things will happen.
But that does not mean that I am far from you.
It does not mean that I am displeased with you.
It does not mean that you have been disqualified.
For there are times when the storms must come.

There are times when the waves will billow and
toss your little boat to and fro..
just as Paul's boat was tossed
as he sailed to Rome.
There will be times when you are shipwrecked.
But if you are faithful to pray
and keep your eyes on Me
despite the circumstances;
then I will give you the lives of those around you
just as I gave Paul the men on his boat when he prayed.
And I will work my glory in the situation
doing signs and wonders, as I did on the island of Malta
and advance My kingdom through you.
Be patient when things seem to go wrongly
keep your heart fixed on Me
continue to be faithful in all that you know to do
and you will see My kingdom and My glory surround you.
You will see my purposes fulfilled through you.
For I am determined to use you

and that does not always mean that
things will go well for you
but if you are patient and dedicated
you will see My glory break through.
So do not give up or be discouraged
persist in what I have shown you and
ignore the accusations of the enemy --
for I have not disqualified you
and I will lead you through this valley
into the heights of My glory.

Vision Of The Wrecking Ball

Brad Koop
19 Oct 1998
I would submit to you a vision that I recieved during an intercessory prayer time at New Life Vineyard in Kelowna B.C.
We were praying for specific aspects of our church's growth pains when the Lord took me into a vision.
I was standing inside a large church building that resembled our local church, but it had a more generic fell to it. There
were many people milling about the wide open sanctuary when suddenly a huge wrecking ball came crashing through
one of the walls. As debris fell all over the place the vision went into a sort of freeze frame and the Lord asked me what I
expected the people to do now. The obvious answer was that they would flee the building before it came down on them.
He replied that this would be the correct response, but as the vision proceeded the people did not flee instead they
grabbed large wooden posts and began attempting to shore up the building. There was a feeling that they thought that
this was an attack from the outside and this was their defense plan.
The Lord told me that in the days to come He was going to so radically change the structure of the church that it would
seem as it were that a wrecking ball had struck it. It is not an attack of the enemy, but rather the Lord at work chastising
and correcting His bride. The wooden posts that I saw the people erecting were actually the old stand by 'programs' that
they expected to continue to hold up the existing structure.
We need to leave the building and allow the Lord to do His work as He rebuilds the structure according to His will.
I believe that this is a word for the body in this day and age of incredible upheaval and searching for stability. Be wary of
where you find stability if it is not based SOLELY in the Lord and His will.
Live lightly and love hard

Wrestling With God

Stan Achenbach
May 31, 1998
Recently, when I was reading about Jacob in my bible I read this passage in Genesis 32:24-32. As I began to read about
Jacob wrestling with God, I heard God speak to me regarding His Church in this same scenario. He began to show me
that many of my people have been thinking that they have been battling Satan but what was really happening was they
were wrestling with Me.
He showed me that many have some unfulfilled prophecies regarding the inheritance in the kingdom, unhealed
relationships or situations, or even a physical healing that have not been done yet. Some have been experiencing such
frustration in their battle for faith for their situations that they often give up prior to receiving their blessing.
Jacob had such tenacity with the God that he told Him" I will not let you go unless you bless me". It was at this point
God changed Jacob's name to Israel because "he had struggled with God and with men and have prevailed". This is an
example how God wants us to seek His face in certain circumstances regarding our walk with Him. In retrospect Jacob
call the that place Peniel, which means the Face of God.
For many of God's people, I say "Don't give up " until God blesses you in your circumstances. You may find out that God
will transform you into a new character as He did with Jacob.

Word to the Church

Dennis Paquette
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 1:26 - 2:5

I wrote this word in December 1996 for our church. I have watched both the good and the sad happen over these nearly
two years. I felt the Lord impress me to give this word to my pastor again for review and I have done so. I also believe that
it is applicable to the church at large. Although my desire at the time was a word for 1997, it has just as much relevance
today as it did then. Denis Paquette
Exercising Love in the church and out

Reaching out to the poor
This has begun in many churches already. We will notice that the Holy Spirit will be placing a deep burden in
many peoples hearts to reach the poor. If we provide a safe environment, without judgment or prejudice in our
churches, we will find increasing numbers of the poor and outcast entering in. We must ensure that we have
clean hands and a pure heart to those that the Lord Loves.
Giving even if we lack
There are times when the Lord tests our faith in him and 1997 will be no different. We have a tendency of
withholding and/or withdrawing from giving when it looks like we ourselves are not doing well. One thing I
would like to accentuate here, is that the giving will come from conviction in our own hearts by the Holy Spirit
and this word should not be used as a manipulative tactic from leadership to try to increase giving. It also does
not exempt the church government from applying the same word from itself.
Our vision will change from inward to outward
This is an extension of the previous two words. We will find that we will begin to stop focusing on our own
issues, even though they will not disappear, but will begin to look to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:4)
We will find that our own issues will not seem as serious as we begin to do this and we will find great Joy as
well.
There will be more spontaneity and less organization
This does not give license for revolts against the church organization. The leadership is ultimately accountable
for what is done. What it does do though is ease the burden of leadership from developing programs. What
will happen is that the Holy Spirit will begin to burden those who have not traditionally functioned in many
areas of ministry. These people will bring up many ideas that the leadership will bear witness to and out of this
spontaneity will many ventures be born. The spontaneity will also function at an individual level as well. Let me
give you an example from my past:
Example 1:
Several years ago a speaker came to our church and told us of the many things he did under direction
from the Holy Spirit. How he would be led to a house to help someone or pray for someone and they
would be healed. This encouraged me to pray to the Lord to do the same thing with me. The next
morning I got up and the Lord had placed a certain person on my heart. It was a week day and I had to
go to work. As I prayed to the Lord, I felt that the Lord was asking me go get this person who lived
about a 150 kilometers away and bring her to the meeting that night. With the faith of Gideon, I decided
to ask the Lord to speak to me by the toss of a coin. It was still a go. I decided to phone my employer
to ask for the day off and it was granted. I called this person, but she was not home. Still convinced I
had heard from the Lord, I decided to drive out and convince her to return with me. When I got out
there, she was home. She was not at first convinced that she should go, but she saw my faith and likely
felt that she should oblige someone who traveled such a distance to get her. She told me that she was not
normally prone to such whims, but decided that she would go. Much to her surprise and mine she was
healed of a hernia that night.
The Lord’s Glory will shine on those who will serve him only
Our personal ambitions and goals will fade and we will embrace the Lord’s
If we will focus on what the Lord desires for our lives and do his will, we will find that the Holy Spirit will be
with us and empower us. He will ask us to do many things that will take us out of our comfort zone. He may
begin with small things and increase according to our faith. Just because you have never functioned in a certain
area or have never done a certain something before does not disqualify you from doing it. Even so, please
exercise wisdom on how you apply this word. It is easier to begin with smaller things and grow from there as
your faith increases. There is nothing wrong with testing the word and ensuring it is from the Lord and not a
desire of your own heart. On the other side, don’t let fear of failure prevent you from doing what can be a
blessing. You may be surprised by praying for someone and seeing them healed and so on.
Our hearts will be exposed

There will be those who have been secure will begin to question their motives
As human beings, we find it very easy to fall into a false sense of security. We enter comfort zones and begin
to assume that just because we are doing what the Bible says that we are doing what the Lord wants of us.
Sometimes it could be that the Lord blessed something you were doing last year, but you resisted change to go
onto something else that he wanted of you, because what you were doing was still working. Don’t make too
big a deal of this. Just ask him what he wants of you now and do it.
There will be some in the church who will fall away and leave because of their sin
When the Lord’s Glory shines on you, change is required, even demanded. (Holy ground) In the presence of
Light, darkness or sin must flee. If you can’t or wont let go of sin, it will take you out of the Lord’s Glory and
the church. Understand that this is the consequence of asking for the Lord’s Glory to shine on your church.
Those that are lukewarm will have to leave the church, because of their guilt. This does not have to be
permanent. Those who give in to their sin for a time will find that it looses it’s appeal on them and will return to
the church with the Lord’s help. I pray that the Lord will bring as many as is possible back and quickly. I pray
that those who fall away because of their sin will return more than conquers in that sin and will minister to those
with the same sin.
Choose to be like David and face the Lord’s hand in perfect Love
In 2 Samuel 11 and 12, we see that David gave into his lusts by sleeping with Bathsheba and later having her
husband Uriah killed to save his own face. He was later confronted by Nathan the prophet. When he was, he
had the choice of repenting or not. Judgment would come either way, but one way would be redemptive. If
you are faced with your sin, I pray that you will be like David and will accept the Lord’s redemptive hand in
your life.
There will be those who as the prodigal will come home
There will be those who will wake up and realize that they were better off with the Lord in their lives. They will
desire to be redeemed and will need a safe haven to return to. It will be the churches responsibility to embrace
these people with Love and rejoice in their return. The choice will be yours on whether you will be like the
Father or the brother in the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-31).
There will be those who will suddenly see a bigger picture

There will be a greater revelation on all levels. Individuals will suddenly realize what the Lord has been
preparing them for. They will suddenly see that their past good or bad would be used to the Lord’s glory.
Church’s will begin to harmonize and individuals will work with one accord with the body. If prejudices are set
aside church’s will also work in one accord, each according to their gifts. This will be like Joel 2:7-8. 1997 will
see a noticeable increase of this word and will continue like the final hours of labor before a baby is born.
This is a year to ensure that you are well covered

Those that are covered will be like being in the eye of a hurricane
In the following quotes from the Bible, the word "heareth" is to be applied in the context of the Bible passage
(Jesus) and is not intended to imply any form of directive to this document.
Luke 6:48
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood
arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:24-25
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which
built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Satan will be focusing on getting people out of the church
First of all, this is not to be used to prevent those who the Lord is calling for change. If the Lord calls you to
change churches or go to another city or country, this word is not meant to prevent that. If you are in a church
that is oppressive or controlling, by all means find another one. Leaders are not to use this word for
manipulation of any sort. What is meant by this is, do not simply leave the church without going to another.
Also if you are traditionally a church hopper, this is not a year for that. Church hoppers are those who move
from church to church, sometimes as frequently as every Sunday or every few months. It is better for you to
pray to the Lord to bring you to a church that can be permanent for you. It took the writer six months to begin
to feel he could build relationships in his current church and over a year to begin to feel that he had a place
there. If you are busy church hopping, you are not allowing yourself enough time to know if that is where the
Lord wants you. Satan’s plan is simple. If he can get you alone, you will have little protection. Those who fall
away will suffer severe effects of their choice. (1 Peter 5)
Satan will also be trying to break up families
This is an extension of the previous word. The Lord spoke these words to me a few nights in a row, "A family
that prays together, stays together". It will be very important for families to have regular prayer times together
to hear the Lord’s voice. To counter Satan’s attempts remember the first part of Malachi 4:6. You will gain
amazing strength and insight from these times. If not all members of your family are willing to do this, begin with
those who are.
Go back and wait

Peter and several of the disciples, after they found the tomb that Jesus was buried in empty, went back to
Capernaum in Galilee and began to do what they knew best, fishing. At the beginning of Jesus’ ministry he called to
his first disciples this way and in John 21 he restored Peter. They then returned to Jerusalem to wait and pray.
This is not a year to go out in your own power
It is typical for a church, not having revelation from the Lord, especially if it has been awhile, to desire to set up
programs that are biblical, but are not necessarily his best for them. Many have had some measure of success
in doing this. In 1997, the Lord will be speaking and empowering many who have chosen to wait on him. If
you do not wait, you risk missing something better.
As with Pentecost, you must wait and pray
Read Acts chapters 1 and 2. It was clear to them on that day, that what they received was what the Lord was
asking them to wait for. It will be the same if you wait. This does not mean that you stop your day to day
functions. It simply means don’t take on any new ventures without being sure it is what the Lord wants of you
and to stop doing those that are producing no fruit and may be sapping your strength. Read Isaiah 40.
Sometimes a step backwards is really a step forward

Sometimes we can be confused by changes that happen in our lives. Instead of things going in the way that we
perceive as how the Lord would do something, it goes the opposite way. Our first reaction is to blame Satan for
what is happening and we begin to overcompensate by taking things into our own hands. Sometimes we decide that
the problem is finances, so we try harder to bring in more money. The real issue may be unnecessary expenses,
which may be compounded with the confusion that the Lord may have blessed what we were doing in the past. I will
give you an example in my life that may help with this:
Example 2:
Several years ago, when I first got married, both my wife and I were working. Our income was such that
we could afford a brand new car. We bought a nice one with a lot of options in it. We were paying more
for the loan at the time than we were paying for rent, but we could afford it. We were even able to get
ahead with our loan by adding extra payments to the loan so we could own it sooner. A little later, I was
lamenting to the Lord about the field of work I was in and wanted to have a career change. He provided
the opportunity for this, but I would have to take a reduction in pay, at least initially, to take this new job.
I did. At that time we did not tithe our income and we felt convicted to do so. We could still make our
expenses, but it was much more difficult. Then my wife was pregnant with our first baby. We had agreed
before we got married that my wife would stay home with the children when they came. We knew we
would not have the car loan paid off before the baby would come so we tried to sell the car, but to no
avail. Eventually my wife tried to go back to work at night to help meet the expenses, but this was too
hard on her. When we reached the very end where we would have to default on our loan, someone
bought our car. I was now taking the bus to work, but it would be very difficult for us to go to church.
Someone offered to take us to and from church each Sunday. It wasn’t really out of their way. We were
without a car for 6 months, which gave us time to get to know this couple. From there the Lord then
gave us the ability to buy a less expensive car and we did.
This same couple several years later helped us through another major decision which has set us on a course that the
Lord is clearly in, but we may have not done otherwise. By the above example you can see that initially it looked
that we were taking a step backwards and that we were loosing favor with the Lord. If we had chosen to send my
wife back to work, it would have burned her out and who knows what impacts that choice would have brought. If
we would not have given up our car, it is likely that we would not have gotten close to this other couple and again
who knows what impact that would have had. Even my career has taken me on a much more fulfilling venture and I
am happy that I chose to take a cut in pay. The above example is not an exception in our lives. He has consistently
led us to make difficult choices with great rewards. I encourage you to do the same.
Don’t expect the obvious

You may think the Lord will move one way and he will move another. If you set your heart on an expected result
you will be both disappointed and you will miss the real treasure. Let me expand on my first example to illustrate this
point. The woman that I had brought to the meeting used a cane and had great difficulty with her legs. She had many
prayers in the past for her legs and still had problems walking a couple of years later when I lost contact with her.
My expectation, possibly hers and others in the meeting was that she would have her legs healed. Had I narrowed
my thinking to just that, I would have been greatly disappointed when she didn’t receive healing in her legs. Instead,
she was healed of something that only she knew about and she was astounded when that healing came.
Conclusion
To conclude, it sounds like the Lord is accelerating his purposes like a woman in labor. The contractions get shorter
and shorter until the baby is finally born. 1997 will be a year of many changes and many unexpected surprises. And
most of all "but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power":
1 Corinthians 1:26 - 2:5
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble, [are called]: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God
hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the
world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to
nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according
as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and
him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and
my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Word For The USA

Robert Holmes'
A word for the church in the United States of America
Robert I Holmes, contributing editor of Storm-Harvest Ministries in Australia visited the United States
of America in November of 1998. During this three week preaching tour he took the opportunity of
delivering the following set of prophecies to local leadership in each city mentioned.
This prophecy was received during a three day retreat to Weddin National Park NSW Australia.
Robert had been earnestly seeking the Lord regarding the United States. During a powerful encounter
with Jesus the Lord began to show him an overview of world events, specific events soon to occur in
the USA and concluded with specific addresses to the seven cities he was to visit. Following is an
account of the prophecy. His own observations have been placed in square brackets.
Global trends
The overarching theme for the next few years comes from Isaiah 58: "If you remove the yoke from
among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and
satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the
noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places" (vs 9-11). If
we have our focus right - set on those in need, then we shall be a great light in the rising darkness and
God promises us that he will guide and strengthen us continually.
Great tribulation is coming upon the earth and many parts of the world will be thrown into turmoil.
Japan will buckle further, China will begin to flex her well toned muscles. Russia will continue to
escape her debt, and throw money at things she should not. This will be at the expense of millions of
common citizens.
The apostle John was shown a time, which I believe is very near at hand. "Then I heard what sounded
like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three
quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"" (Rev 6:6).
The Lord reminded me of a word I delivered in 1995: "The war in Bosnia will go on for years - the
casualties will outnumber those of the gulf war. It will surpass it in terms of the weapons employed and
the nations involved. Major international tension will build up as nations take side over NATO strikes." I
believe this is about to come to pass.
I was also reminded of a warning about war in the Middle East received in 1995: "Do not write off the
Middle East, Hussien has developed biological and chemical weapons, but these will be uncovered.
By this time they have become a nuclear threat. The offspring of Abraham's illegitimate child will yet
cause great strife. We are now in a time where the middle east is equipped with weapons of mass
destruction.
There are about to be released, plagues on the earth - mutations of existing and prevalent viruses,
revival of those defeated and new strains. Watch for a fourth generation of AIDS/ HIV and for
communicable cancer. The only place of healing will be found in the church.
Specific signs in the USA
The overarching theme for the USA comes from Isaiah 59:19 "Those in the west shall fear the name of
the LORD, and those in the east, his glory; for he will come like a pent-up stream that the wind of the
LORD drives on." I believe the time of judgement has arrived for the west, and we shall fear the name
of the Lord. Those in the east will fear his glory, for He shall arise and demonstrate his great power in
those nations.
There will shortly come a time when Wall Street will collapse. No longer shored up by public
confidence it will swagger under the weight of national debt. On a day of frenzied trading it shall
tumble the nation into turmoil and depression.
The attention of the creditor nations will be drawn to America. I saw a time of conferences and
meetings, international concern and intervention by prominent international organisations in domestic
economics and affairs. For the first time in US history international organisations will intervene in
domestic affairs. I saw international troops on US soil. A National economic crisis, and localised
crises will be announced, and utilising certain powers the US president will call the FEMA (Federal
Emergency Management Agency) into action. You will see black helicopters on television and this will
be a sign. When she is weakest a set of disasters will befall the nation.
Some specific signs:
· There will be youth murders in Jefferson county (the state was not specified). · There will be drought
and more drought in Madison county (the state was not specified). · God is going to bring specific
judgement against 'panelled houses'. Some of the most detestable church buildings are in the East.
This judgement will be according to Haggai 1:4. · Some of these church structures are going to fall
with a crash heard across the nation. · God is going to judge many of the so called prophets
according to Micah 3:5-7. The Lord said, "Your prophets have not just stolen food but money and
offerings from the poor, the infirm and the widow". · Watch Salem. The Lord said, "The blood from
Salem has reached my ears, I shall hold back no more!" · Watch Los Angeles. The Lord said, "Ahhh
Los Angeles, Los Angeles why have you ignored my warnings? Parts of you shall become as New
Orleans [under sea level] and parts of you as parched as the sands of Las Vegas [dry as sand without
irrigation]"
Specific cities
1. Houston, Texas
"I know your works, how you have laboured in reaching out to the world. I see your earnest support of
missions and reaching a dying people. I also know your pioneering spirit, and your creativity, the
strength of fellowship and chivalry.
But these things I have against you. You follow after idols of sport and have partaken of building a
temple stadium to its honour. There are crosses on fire and I hate those who hate my children. Do not
tolerate such destruction as is done in my name. Stop the burning. Return to your first love.
Put away from you the love of money and wealth, used by many to build panelled houses and
expensive churches. Wash your hands of the blood stained soil, for the men of old who murdered in
my name. If you have an ear to hear, then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. Be earnest and
repent. To everyone who conquers I will give access to the Tree of Life which is in the Paradise of
God."
2. St Louis, Missouri
"I know you have been the beginnings for many and have stumbled and not been able to complete.
But you shall be part of the end of all things in my time. Though another city has claimed the title, you
are the heart of the nation.
But these things I have against you. You bear the arch as though you triumph but you do not display the
triumph of Christ's victory over death and hell. You are surely named after one called saint but you
trade by the spirit of his memory instead of living by it. For this I esteem you not.
See in your midst there is such tolerance and a form of godliness without my Power, yet you do not
tolerate race and colour. Remove supremacy from your midst. Divide not by creed, race, wealth,
status or control. If you have an ear then listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Whoever
conquers will not be harmed but the second death but will taste eternal life."
3. Love County, Oklahoma
"I know your freedom - your wide open skies. I see you spread your wings to fly, now come to me. I
know the liberty, your fore-fathers fought for, but now you have lost it all. You have sought to be
cosmopolitan but have accepted all sorts of things in the name of God.
But these things I have against you. Your hands are stained with blood and the ground cries out to me
for justice. Be earnest and repent for the sins of slaughter of the innocents - even in this generation.
That is why you have drought, and you shall have drought again. This generation has made for itself
idols of men and monuments of movements. Behold! I share my throne with no-one and I am respecter
of no one's person. There is only One God, only one Shepherd and His name is Jesus.
Press on, press on, hear the sound of new music coming from the hills and mountains. Even as it
came from the high places in the past so it shall come again. If you have an ear then listen to what the
Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone who conquers I will give Christ - the manna from heaven
to eat of daily and a new name."
4. Mobile Bay Area, Alabama
"I know your works, your perseverance in the day of trial and your endurance in disaster. Some of you
labour diligently for the catch and are even now preparing for harvesting.
But these things I have against you. Why do you weep, and why do you mourn? Why do you cry as
though you have kissed my Son and turned his anger? The day is near at hand and many of you have
not prepared. What will I find when I return?
Instead I find many at leisure, whilst time wastes away. Where is your strength and shield? Will you
endure to the very end having fallen asleep already? The Son is coming to strike the earth with the
Rod of His mouth! Awake O sleeper, arise and shake yourself while there is yet time!
There shall indeed sound thunder in the bay - to some the sound of victory and life, but to others the
sound of terror and of death. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To those
who conquer and endure to the end I will give authority over the nations, to rule with an iron rod. I will
give them the Morning Star."
5. Kansas City, Missouri
"I know your works. You have beheld the True Man among you - a godly leader and righteous. You
have put out from among you many who hold to heresy and you have earnestly sought the truth. You
say you have chiefs, but I urge you to seek again Him who is Chief among men!
But these things I have against you. Yes you are the supplanter, but like Jacob I have blessed you. You
have taken from others what rightfully belongs to them, but many among you remain true to that which I
have given you.
You are a melting pot for the nations. My church is called to be a lighthouse and a house of prayer for
all nations yet you are divided. You straddle the river but are divided by her. You segregate one from
another. Of this repent.
See I am placing a fountain in your midst - its waters will never run dry. They shall bring the hope from
life to life, but to another it shall bring poisoning of death to death. Who is sufficient for these things? If
you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. If you conquer I shall clothe you in
white raiment, and will not take your name from the book of life. I will confess you before heaven."
6. Charlotte, North Carolina
"I know your works. You have fought the good fight against Free Masonry and secret societies, you
have rallied against the synagogue of Satan (though some among you still belong to him). You have
walked in the ways of your founding fathers and this is good.
But this I have against you. You have failed to walk in religion that is pure and undefiled before God,
that is to care for orphans and widows and to keep yourself unstained by the world. Wherein have I
found you lacking, do you feed the hungry, clothe those who are naked or show hospitality to the alien?
Yet upon yourselves you show no restraint in the building of panelled houses and extravagant church
structures! These I hate for the injustice done in my Kingdom. Return to me says the Lord. Instead of
trade and finance, return to the ways of your fathers and obey and serve the Lord.
If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. I am full of patience and
endurance. To him who overcomes I will make a stone and a pillar in the house of God and you shall
trade in the heavenly city."
7. Tri-County, Florida [Miami, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach]
"I know your works, how you have not tolerated that woman Jezebel nor those who follow her. The
prevalence of military bases in your midst is a sign of the good fight you engage in.
But these things I have against you. How is it that you have become ensnared by the pride of life and
been taken by the lust of the flesh? Be earnest and repent, set you heart on things above, not on the
earth beneath. How is it that some of you chose the legends of old, and others wash in new age
practices instead of coming to the age old foundation which is Christ?
I counsel you - return to your first love. You were settled by those who kissed the Son, return to those
ways again. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To the one who
conquers I will give a place with me, I have conquered and now reign with the Father."

When Will You Love The Unlovable And

Teach The Unteachable?
Catherine Brown
I Am the resurrection and the life. I Am He who has defeated death and every power and principality. I Am he who covers
you in the darkness and brings you to the fullness of My Light. I Am He who waits here in this place for My people to turn
to Me once more. You are not to turn away from the brightness of My presence. You are not to turn from those who
shine like stars, for it is I who brightens them. It is I who causes them to shine.
There is a Light, which I am holding up for all men to see. Cover not this Light, for it is not to be hidden in cupboards of
selfishness. My children, when will you hear the call to take My light into the darkness? When will you reach out in Love
to those who stumble in the dark? When will you lay aside your own agendas and selfish ambitions and take up My
cross? When will you raise My banner of love over the multitudes? For surely I have spoken that this is My will. Surely I
Am placing great riches within your reach, but you muddy them as though they are nought. My children when will you
hear My broken heart on this? When will you love the unlovable and teach the unteachable and reach the unreachable.
Ask Me for my Heart
My children, you will love and them and teach them and reach them when you ask Me for My heart. Your own souls are
not able to love them; your own minds cannot perceive how I love them and yearn for the lost. I yearn for the prostitute, I
yearn for the homeless, I yearn for the addict, I yearn for the alcoholic, I yearn for the abuser, I yearn for the abused, I
yearn for the murderer, I yearn for those whom you despise. I commanded you to hate the sin NOT the sinner. When will
you lay aside your lofty speculations of who are worthy of My Love?
Do you not know that none are worthy by their own merits? Do you not see that it is only by My grace that you now
stand before the Father? Why, My children, will you not weep the tears I weep? Wake up to the call of My Spirit. How
long, my children will you ignore His voice. He pleads with you night and day but so many of your turn your backs in
haughty arrogance from Him. My beloved Spirit, who speaks of what He hears and tells of what is to come, who does the
will of the Father. When will you acknowledge Him in full measure?
When will you lay aside the lofty speculations of your mind and stop endeavoring to measure up to human standards.
When will you lay aside the fear of man, how long must I wait for your hearts to bow in adoration, to bow in obedience, to
bow in fear of Me? The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but how long will you be blind to this truth? You speak
with a double-edged tongue. You curse and you bless, you pull down and you build up, when will you lay aside this
double minded ness.
How Long Will You Be Lukewarm?

How long will you be lukewarm My children? How long must I wait for you to be neither hot nor cold? How long must I
plead with you? Days are coming My children when you must choose the way of Life. The times as you know them are
drawing to a close and you must be prepared. You are not equipped to appear before Me, for you have ignored My Spirit.
Go into the market places, go into the back alleys and streets, go to the tenement blocks and the council estates, go to
the wealthy who are lost in their riches, go to the single parents and the orphans, go to the widows and the widowers, go
to the businessmen and the intellectual and do not justify your selfish hesitancy by saying that it is My will. It is My will
than none should perish and all should come to repentance. Confess your sin of negligence and apathy and step out with
Me that together, hand in hand, we will reach out to all those in darkness and bring them by My Spirit into the light. You
are not to worry about how or where or what you will say, you are simply to be a vessel. Am I not He who created the
Heavens and the Earth, then I am He who will fill your mouths with My words and your hearts with My love and your eyes
will see as My eyes and your mind will be filled with My thoughts. 'Go' is the commandment I give unto you this day and
to love thy neighbor as you love yourself - do you not know this is the beginning of holiness?
Love Because I First Loved You
Be holy because I am holy. Love because I first loved you. Shake of the shackles of disinterest and apathy and a
loathing for all that is not beautiful by human standards. Speak to the rejected, speak to the melancholy, speak to the
prisoners, speak to the sick, visit the Hospitals and step out boldly in faith in My name, for surely signs and wonders will
follow those who will go. But do not go with any other expectation than to be obedient, I Am and I will do as I will do. You
are not to fret and worry over the Way, for I am the Way. I Am. Amen

Y2K Soon Upon Us

Teri Ward
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I sit here stirred in my spirit, marveling at the sovereignty of our God. For long years now God has spoken to and through
me, and countless others, warning of coming calamity and trials of such magnitude that it would exceed that of any
experienced in our lifetime thus far. I have never doubted the validity of these warnings, nor have I been oblivious to the
fact that they have increased greatly in intensity and urgency the last couple years. And though many of us have known
for some time that these things are indeed approaching, we were not quite sure when or how they would occur. Though I
will say that numerous times the last few years I have had the Lord tell me that it will be sooner than even I have thought.
Though considered by some to be a doomsday prophet, still, in obedience to the Lord I have continued to sound the
trumpet. And now, right before our eyes, we are beginning to see some of the very things take place that the Lord has
faithfully and patiently warned us of. And still, much to my dismay, multitudes are blind to what is soon upon us. I repeat-
SOON UPON US! One of the many things to which I am referring, which inevitably will bring about utter chaos and
calamity, is the Y2K - year 2000 computer crash.(http://www.y2knet.com/) It does not take one long looking into this
situation, reading just a fraction of the information available on the Internet about it and its affects upon our society, to
realize that it indeed will usher in much, if not all of what has long been predicted concerning the demise of this once
great nation of ours. I would STRONGLY urge you, as children of God and stewards of His Word and grace to your
families and nation, to get before God-NOW-and ask Him to open your eyes and spirit and understanding to what it is HE
is endeavoring to show us. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE-do not hesitate to act NOW. There is so little time left for
preparation, and you can no longer afford to ignore what is now blatantly obvious.
I want to stress here and now that there is NO NEED FOR FEAR or anxiety. We are children of God, and as such He
hides us in His pavilion, even in the midst of the fiery furnace (if need be), just as He did the three Hebrew lads of long
ago. Is. 41:10 "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Is. 43:2 "When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be
scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God." We have many such promises upon which we can
stand.
And though it is true that He watches over us with tender care, that does not entitle us to be lazy or complacent
servants. We must, now more than ever, be about our Fathers business. The Word tells us that in the time of the end, of
which we are now approaching, that ‘men's hearts will fail them because of fear.’ It is so easy to understand how that will
happen. When society as we know it crashes and crumbles all around us, AND IT WILL, those whose foundation is not
built upon the SOLID ROCK OF CHRIST, will be at a total loss as to what to do. We must show them. There will be
panic on every hand. But let us not wait until calamity strikes, but now, as much as is within our ability (and with His
Spirit within us that is unlimited!) we must not only prepare ourselves, but in His love reach out to as many as possible.
NOW, as the darkness grows in intensity, is the time for the Children of the Light to shine as never before, holding out to
all the "Words of Life." NOW, as the night draws near, is the time for the Children of the Day to arise and offer to all who
will hear, The Way of Salvation.
Prov. 22:3 says, "The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, but the naive go on, and are punished for it."
There are MANY things that we must do in order to prepare for what is ahead. I would urge you to familiarize yourselves
with the many Internet Web sites pertaining to the Computer Crash, and follow sound advice. To anyone interested (and I
pray that is all of you) I will gladly pass on the Web site addresses to some of these enlightening articles( which are
quite exhaustive). Eph. 5:17-19 "Therefore, be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of
your time, for the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
Store water-for we would be unwise servants if we did not-but of far greater importance is the fact that we need to store
up within our hearts and spirits that LIVING WATER, without which no one will survive. And not in ‘broken cisterns’, but in
bodies that are sanctified and consecrated wholly to the Lord. Romans 12:1-2 "I urge you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of
worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove
what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
Store up food-most definitely-but realize that our greatest sustenance is and will be that of the Bread of Life-without
whom there is no life. I reiterate what I said almost a year ago now in a letter to many of you.. "Please do realize that
these are in fact THE LAST DAYS! I know full well the tendency to think otherwise, to so hope that our lives will continue
on as they have been, with no interruption, that we ignore what is right there in front of our face. I understand that many of
us have hopes, dreams and plans that we long to have realized in our lives, and the thought of these possibly being
thwarted is very disturbing indeed. Yet, though it is true that we face perilous times just up ahead, and though it may
also be true that we may of necessity have to let go of our own agendas, I implore you not to be oblivious to that which
our God and Father has promised us: THE GLORIES OF OUR ETERNAL HEAVENLY HOME WITH HIM! I encourage
you to be aware of the difficult times which are fast approaching, and seek the Lord as never before, yet I also encourage
you to KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIM and our ultimate reward. Rom. 8:18 "For I consider that the sufferings of this present
time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us." Finally my dear family in Christ, I leave you
with "Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Josh. 1:9.

Y2K AND THE CHURCH

By Rick Joyner
This Article is from the Morningstar Prophetic Bulletin October 1998

The Y2K* problem is the computer glitch that will cause many computers to malfunction when their internal clocks
turn to the new century on New Years Day 2000. Because many systems were not prepared for this when they
were programmed, when computer clocks go to "00" at midnight on December 31, 1999, many will read this as
"1900" instead of "2000," making it difficult or impossible to retrieve the data stored in them. The fear is that banks
will not know how much money they have or how much money you have in them. Inventories will be lost and
manufacturing plants will shut down. It is expected that many airline reservations will be lost and that the
governments will lose all or much of their data, crippling social security, the IRS, and even local water and sewer
systems. The effect of this problem on civilization is viewed by different experts as being somewhere between a
bump in the road to the end of the modern world.
One of the potentially devastating problems can come from the almost universal dependence on "Just In Time" (JIT)
inventory control that has been almost universally adopted by western industry. For example, most products are
made from a combination of parts or products which are each made by smaller vendors. A car may be built from
several hundred parts all made by different companies. To save the expense of storing large inventories of all of
these parts, most industries have instituted JIT where they have the parts delivered to the assembly plant "just in
time" to be used. Of co
