What is coming?
Richard Keltner of Watchman Radio said there are these new "Parasite Prophets" who have left the prosperity gospel show to jump on the doom and gloom show and are trying to get people to give them their money so they can invest it for them etc. etc.
There are many many many prophets, saying many things, they profit from being called "prophet". God did not send them but they ran...
Some of the things they say are way off base and ridiculous, but the lack of discernment in the church seems to swallow the hook easily enough.
For the summer and fall of 2008, I heard the phrase,
"Jesus wept while the disciples slept."
again and again. I also heard the verse,
"Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof."
The church has been sleeping when they should have been awake and praying.
Now in november 2008, with the election of a new president. I feel we missed our chance to save america.
The "churches" that have not been warning and speaking God's word will definitely be unhelpful and lost when the troubles come.
I hear a new word,
"Now the disciples will weep while Jesus sleeps."
Read Nahum. Nahum is Jonah's Ninevah 40 years later, the unrepentant
generation.
This cartoon is inspired by Andrew Strom's Word titled, "Throw the Sleeping Jonah's Overboard!" http://www.revivalschool.com
This cartoon is taken from the description of a "prophet" in florida in "True and False Revival" by Andrew Strom.
The only preacher that mentioned repenting of endorsing the latest false revivalist was Dutch Sheets, but it does not seem like his voice was heard amongst the stampede toward "gold dust in them thar hills". You know the Lord said, "The silver is mine and the Gold is mine." Why do you search for His gold and not Him? Why seek His signs and wonders and not Him? "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto you." We don't follow signs, signs follow us. All these weird miracles lead the sheep to destruction. We need to have holiness and walk by faith, then have miracles follow. Chasing after gold dust, miracles, and laughing anointings, instead of walking by faith in Jesus and being holy and separating ourselves unto God is exactly what the new emergent church wants us to do. The trap is waiting for us. Beware.
Here are two sermons I recently sat through at churches while I looked for a church that is alive and not dead. One was rolling with the prosperity gospel, the other was seeker friendly. I really would not care so much if the nation was not in such grave danger, but it makes me very sad for all the people that will perish when it is not God's will that they perish. But because of the shepherds and rebellious sheep, many many will perish.
Be on your guard. Be still and know that God is in control.
Many weird and odd things have been creeping into the church, you can even read about emma-o and how many people bought into that one. See Pat Holliday's blog.
God is a God of miracles and wonders and great love, trust God, rejoice in Jesus, but also be wary of all the false circus stuff that is being promoted.
Things are getting bad now, its December 2008, people are out of work, stores are slowing or closing, the recession is getting depressing. Here we go...
Just remember that Jesus is the answer to any problem you may have. Seek the King of Kings, no one else can put your shattered life back together again.
Glory to God!
I had a vision yesterday of a large dam like Hoover dam, the dam held back the waters that read "Israel's sin and disobedience" (that means america's sins in this vision) and the dam was God's grace. In the town below there were fruitful trees and children playing in the streets, I saw angels come and quietly move families out of the town and up the hill to a higher place that was just as nice, but safe. There were people in their homes sleeping, all was calm and peaceful, the land was a land of plenty. But it appears that angels were quietly at work, moving people to safer higher ground. I ask you to seek God now, while it is calm and nice, seek the higher ground, seek the higher things of God now, don't wait, because when it comes it will be too late. The angels were moving the people up and out. But many were asleep, many would be caught by surprise. Don't let the fruitful land of plenty fool you, awake O sleepers! Awake! Seek the Lord! Seek safety in Jesus. God is moving people. Dec. 28, 2008
I think most people don't know what is coming because the television and radio didn't tell them, their preachers didn't tell them, and perhaps they were just not interested in seeking God and finding out what is happening. The days of the wolves shearing their flock might be winding down, because the flock just won't have the wool it takes to support a wolf's lavish lifestyle anymore. Maybe the wolves will just jump in their jet planes and fly away, leaving their megachurches empty and silent.
The circus is over, the clowns have gone home, and still the people have not repented. There is no discernment. Read Pat Holliday or Andrew Strom or listen to Rick Wiles' Trunews.com to hear about what is being passed off as "christianity" today. What Odd Bentley was really giving people was a Kundalini Spirit from India that causes the same head twitches and jerks. This is not the Holy Spirit, and is now infecting churches around the world. The devil in disguise. Beware. Beware. The real Holy Spirit does the miracles too, but it points you to God, not itself or man.
I will contend no more with man!
February 19, 2009...
"I will contend with man no more.
I will contend with man no more.
The time has come and you will see
the wrath of God on this country
I will contend with man no more.
You had your chance
you could repent
but now the curtain has been rent
I will contend with man no more.
Fall on your face and cry out for grace, For I will contend no more with man."
That's the word I got and I did fall on my face and pray for grace!
I found this Word similar to "the waters of Meribah". The place of contention.
Where Moses was leading the people and God decided to wipe them out and start
over with the next generation.
The same week I got that Word, David Wilkerson sent out a Word,
"An URGENT MESSAGE - March 7, 2009.
-by David Wilkerson.
I am compelled by the Holy Spirit to send out an urgent message
to all on our mailing list, and to friends and to bishops we have
met all over the world.
AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY is ABOUT TO HAPPEN. IT
IS GOING to BE SO FRIGHTENING, WE ARE ALL GOING TO
TREMBLE - EVEN the GODLIEST AMONG US.
For ten years I have been warning about a thousand fires coming
to New York City. It will engulf the whole megaplex, including
areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across
America will experience riots and blazing fires—such as we saw
in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.
There will be riots and fires in cities worldwide. There will be looting —
including Times Square, New York City. What we are experiencing
now is not a recession, not even a depression. We are under God’s
wrath. In Psalm 11 it is written,
“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (v. 3).
God is judging the raging sins of America and the nations. He is
destroying the secular foundations.
The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with wicked Israel, “God is
fashioning a calamity against you and devising a plan against you.
Oh, turn back each of you from your evil way, and reform your
ways and deeds. But they will say, It’s hopeless! For we are going
to follow our own plans, and each of us will act according to the
stubbornness of his evil heart” (Jeremiah 18:11-12).
In Psalm 11:6, David warns, “Upon the wicked he will rain snares
(coals of fire)…fire…burning wind…will be the portion of their cup.”
Why? David answered, “Because the Lord is righteous” (v. 7). This
is a righteous judgment—just as in the judgments of Sodom and
in Noah’s generation".....from David Wilkerson.
I should add to this message that if you read David Wilkerson's devotional messages, they are usually very encouraging and uplifting. I would not classify him as a doom and gloom prophet. He is simply warning the flock of coming disaster. Like any good watchman. I should also mention that Andrew Strom is most often an encourager and an uplifting messenger. His warnings of a coming great depression have come true and it was only to prepare the flock that he warned them. Some people avoid these messages as if they were too depressing. I agree it is bad news, we are not praying for evil things to come upon the earth. But how many people realize there are evil men at work in the earth and a devil roaming about, a shepherd that never protected his flock from a wolf would be a very pitiful shepherd. And just because a wolf is spotted on the horizon does not mean your lamb will get eaten. Especially if you take the warning seriously and get prepared.
Now it is december 2009 and the shaking is getting worse. This is a good time to cut all ties to the mammon god and serve the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Get out of the world's system. There is a window of time, and economic turn around, where you can still get out of debt and cut the ties to the falling mammon system. The economy will fall big time in a short time so don't waste time. The stock market will start going up and inflation will undermine gains, then soon, in a year or two, all will fall. Get out of debt.
Now it is 2010. This is the Word I got for the first week of 2010, Daniel chapter 5, where the nation falls suddenly and a new nation begins, the writing on the wall. It read "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN" weighed and found wanting.
I see all the politicians in Washington with their spending plans and all their bail outs and buy outs and new deals and suddenly a hand writes on the wall, MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN.
Can you read the writing on the wall my friend? The Lord told me to pray in advance for what is coming, he said a lot of people are going to die in 2010 and I need to pray now so that I answer their needs from the Spirit of God and not from the flesh or soul. So I think we should all pray now, to be prepared for what is coming this year, we need to be able to help people when they are down and to be salt and light when things are dark.
I read Jeremiah 42:7 and Isaiah 40:27-30 and Isaiah 41. But the problem seems to be found in Jeremiah chapters 5 and 6.
THOU ART WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES AND FOUND WANTING.
I also had zephaniah 1:11-13 and zephaniah 2:2
Seems like 2010 will be a bit rough, though I know Daniel was not moved, he had his faith in God and not in man's systems.
So I made some cartoons of Jeremiah chapter 5 about the birds snared by false prophets and priests. "The prophets prophesy falsely, the priests rule by their own power, and my people love to have it so, but what will they do in the end?" Read on in chapter 6 about the silver that is rejected silver.
It seems like all these church people are happy in their church cages and that none of them really wants to hear the Word of the Lord. Just like Jeremiah 5.
I am so tried of hearing these canned sermons that don't warn the people or even lead them to repent. Its all food yes, but I hunger for the real fresh Word of God. What will happen to all these poor Word starved people?
I mean I'm glad they are happy and getting fed, but is this what God intended for them? Or are they stuck in religion with no relation to God? Jeremiah 5:26-27 FOR AMONG MY PEOPLE ARE FOUND WICKED MEN: THEY LAY IN WAIT, AS HE THAT SETTETH SNARES; THEY SET A TRAP, THEY CATCH MEN.
AS A CAGE IS FULL OF BIRDS, SO ARE THEIR HOUSES FULL OF DECEIT: THEREFORE THEY ARE BECOME GREAT, AND WAXEN RICH.
anI can do no more dear readers. You perhaps have seen the progression of witchcraft in the church, the false prophets, the congregations eager for another ear tickling word. I cannot keep back what is coming on the land. All I know is that we are to follow Jesus and leave the judging to God. So please hear my prayer for you, May God bless you and keep you and shine upon you, may you receive mercy and not the judgment we are due. May we all walk closer to Jesus. I give this problem over to God. I have warned the people. To God be the glory. May a great revival sweep the land. In Jesus name, amen.
Well I wish we were producing more good fruit for the world, but as Andrew Strom has said we are the major producer of some of the worst filth to the world. We no longer send out the "Beverly Hillbillies" and "I Love Lucy". The days of "Leave It to Beaver" are long gone. Now we are sending out some very dark and perverse media into the whole earth. The fruit is getting very bad. It is true that the majority of people in the heartland of America still love the Lord and value family and freedom. But we are losing that and the big cities seem to speak for the whole nation, and what they say is not good fruit!
I am seeing things happen in this nation that are really not good. I don't know if we can continue to lift up the nation in prayer and see a return to the Lord. Andrew Strom says we may see revival in the midst of judgments. But it looks like the judgments are irreversible now.
In fact here on April 2010 the Lord said that I need to stay in faith and not fear. Because when I am in faith I am a good help. But when I am in fear I am no use to the Lord. He said we are about to see "miracles of judgment" and I asked what "miracles of judgment" means? "Miracles of judgment" means that there are about to happen a series of judgments that will come fast and one after the other so that churches will be meeting about one thing and what to do about it, when another thing will happen and they won't be able to keep up with it all. He said they won't speak about 911 anymore, as what is coming will be 1000 times bigger.
(As of May 2010 we have an icelandic volcano spewing non stop, an oil rig spewing into the gulf non stop, a european meltdown, and who knows what is next?) God knows. Today May 10, 2010 He said "Your heart is not ready. You are not ready for what you are about to see. Pray to me to prepare you for what you are about to see." So I have been praying that the Lord would prepare me for what I am about to see. That I would react out of His Holy Spirit and pray, and not react out of the flesh and fear. I wonder what I am about to see? Lord prepare me for what I am about to see in Jesus name. I also heard, "there will not be enough bandages, enough medicine, enough water, enough medical supplies..." What is about to happen?)
I think of the movie "Faith Like Potatos" where he sows in a drought. I think of Issac sowing in famine and reaping 100 fold. Think of Elijah and the widow with the cruz of oil, and the ravens feeding him. Notice that great miracles happen in these harsh conditions. I am standing in faith and standing against fear. Just now a volcano is erupting and pouring ash over europe. Something as simple as that could cause great trouble. I'm not sure what these "miracles of judgment" will be, but I know Jesus is the answer. Get into faith. Grow your faith. Remember the goodness of God. Encourage yourself in the Lord. Prepare in prayer.
Once again, do not fear, but pray in faith and help people avoid it or survive it. No fear. I feel ready to work for the Lord and be available in intercession for these things. They are things that must come to pass. But I guess if we pray we can assist in saving people from them. Just a reminder as all these fearful messages go about, not to fear but to stay in faith!!! Faith.
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So please read up on God's Word. Build up your faith. Strengthen your faith. Cast off your fears. Build up your faith in God. Get ready to pray and interceed. Its going to get wild. Get ready. The Lord can use you if you are not in fear but in faith. Remember Gideon and his army, the fearful ones God sent home. He just used a few men of fearless faith to save the nation. "The sword of the Lord and Gideon!" was just torches and pots. But they saved their country. Are you in fear or faith?
The Lord told me on new years day 2010 that a lot of people would die this year and that I should prepare now in prayer to answer the crisis out of the Spirit and not the flesh. Since that word we have had a big earthquake in Haiti and Chile, now a volcano, more earthquakes, a giant healthcare bailout mess....it is april now. We are just getting started. Rick Wiles of trunews.com said this summer will be wild but that last three months of this year will be hard to survive. So get ready here we go! No fear! Faith. Faith. FAITH!!!!!
