A Difficult Prophetic Word - Ministries with "Budgets" outside of the leading of the Holy Ghost are going to be in trouble

The Lord is showing me a picture of what is about to come. We are about to go thru another round of gut wrenching economic distress. All the governmental efforts are going to fail to stop this. The Stock Market is running wild. This will not hold. The changes about to come will destroy many good ministries that in the past lived off the fat years. Now those churches, ministries and ministers will have to discover a new place in God to survive and prosper.

It's not God's will for Churches to close but some will. It's not God's will for overseas missionaries to be stranded but some will. It's not God's will for formerly good fruitful national ministries to collapse but some will.

And some will not. Those independent of the Baal system will survive. Those not dependant on the world. Those who minister in boldness and in spite of Lack will prosper.

When the housing market goes down further, when commercial real estate collapses, when stock markets collapse, when currency is devalued to ten percent of it's former value, when people no longer have any hope for work and all unemployment ceases, when cities and states file for bankruptcy and people are left stranded, when the federal government that is now in practicality bankrupt declares itself, when money stops, when credit becomes impossible and people are on the streets begging, then the harvest fields will fall quickly fully ripe before the harvester to begin to worship the living and true God.

There will be faithful Holy Ghost led people and groups who will be there to walk as point in this great harvest. It will contain fewer of those we all thought would lead the way to reap. They will be gone. Insolvent. Collapsed. Discredited. Neutralized by the Enemy.

The word of the Lord for ministries and churches is IF you can no longer do what you did in the past because the money isn't there and it doesn't look like it's coming in, then do what matters. Stop doing what doesn't. This will mean that men and women of God may struggle to feed their families. That doesn't mean God has abandon them. It is a time of preparation. A time to lay a foundation for the harvest to come. A time to declare victory.

Many in South America went thru this a decade ago. The churches exploded. New people hungry for God came in. Many churches in the middle of this collapsed and closed. But those who did the main thing emerged with hundreds of thousands of new souls for the Kingdom to lay at his feet.

The old ways will not work in this new day. The time is almost here. The warning has been given. Mothball the dreams you once had. Become a warrior to take the ground you see before you. Someday God will allow you to take the dream out of mothballs. Then you will see. But the call to the harvest is here now. Only those that answer with a selflessness they never knew before will survive. It's the secret kingdom. Upside down. Prosperity is now a fasted life. For some of you in ministry, Jesus is saying "sell all you have, give to the poor and follow ME". When you hear that you will say, "That can't be God". Yes it is. He is more concerned with your heart than with your pocketbook and possessions right now. He wants you unencumbered for the great harvest to come.

Only those with ears to hear will hear what the Word of the Lord has spoken. The rest will see it happen and in a rear view mirror say "I wish I had listened".

In the fourth paragraph, you make a lot of statements beginning with the word "when". When X happens, Y will follow. It is not clear whether you are prophesying that these things will happen (X will take place soon), or whether they are just theoretical possibilities for illustrative purposes (If X happens, Y will follow). Could you clarify please.

I inclination not concur on it. I regard as precise post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to study the intact story.

I assume from you next post that you see all these things happening soon.
