In the last chaos the greatest war that will take place will be between the truth and lie, between the false and reality, between the copy and the original.
In the house of the Lord there will great chaos - distraction, people will not be able to understand, they will not be able to differentiate, they will mix up the truth with the false, the original with the copy, the reason of this will be the disobedience of men to God. He already warned that there is death in disobedience. Like He put the tree of evil and good in one tree, God Himself mixed two differed things and warned that disobeying him will result in mixture. And today there is great mixture. This is just the warning of the Lord.
The doctrine of Jezebel, the Balaam, and the Nicolatians brings exact mixture that I just described. The followers of these spirits will do great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect.
A weak and foolish one God uses to confound the worldly wise. Purpose commissioned from the Throne: To speak encouragement to leaders, to speak clarity to those in influence, to speak of things to come, to speak clearly against those who would others and to reveal the Heart of a Matter when it causes confusion. Sometimes interpreted by some to be a "Troubler of Israel". I only say what God says, that which I hear from the Throne

Green Pastures- Apostle Colette Toach
A sheep has no fear when it grazes in the pasture. It simply enjoys the blessings and the time to feed. It knows that the Shepherd is watching over it and it has nothing to fear. If the food runs out, the Shepherd will take the sheep to another pasture. If a wild animal comes, the Shepherd will chase that animal way.
In the same way I am the good Shepherd and it is my desire to take you into this season of rest my child. I desire for you to enjoy the good pastures that I have brought you to. I desire for you to rest and to give me all of your cares. So often though, you do not take the time to enjoy the pastures because you worry when the pasture will run out. You worry if a wild animal will come and harm you.
My child put your trust into me. Have I ever let you down? If a natural shepherd would give his life for his flock, how much more will I give everything I have for you? Put your trust into me and enter into my rest. Enter and enjoy the good pastures that I have given to you. Rather experience my peace than worry and fear.
I am not the author of worry. I am not the one who has brought fear into your life. These are things that the enemy would try to do. It is the enemy that wants to steal, kill and destroy. I came to give you life in abundance! So rather trust in me. Trust that I will protect you. Trust that I will take care of each need. As you lean on me now in faith, I will be faithful to cover you and to care for you says the Lord.

Lou Engle Ponders Prophetic Implications of Romney Vote
Can I vote for Romney? Over the last year I have wrestled greatly with this question.
I have been mostly silent, waiting on the Lord for understanding. Prior to TheCall Detroit I've felt a strong calling to pray for President Obama, that he would be a Lincoln-type president who (through the dealings of God) would be changed into another man on the issue of life. Should he win the election, I will still hope and pray for this outcome.
However, many people have misconstrued my statements and even twitter'd that I intend to vote for President Obama. Quite the contrary! My clear and pointed statement has been that I cannot vote for anyone who by legal decree supports the shedding of innocent blood, believing such a vote would make me an accomplice to the act.
In recent years I have further refined my position to include no exceptions for rape and incest, understanding that life begins at conception, therefore all life is sacred. My position has been to reject the compromise of simply voting for the lesser of two evils, believing that my allegiance is given to a higher King and a higher kingdom, therefore my no-vote actually becomes a prophetic act, a vote of conscience, not abdication.
I have believed that if the church would stand on principle, and also require the same of our candidates, that we could actually shift our political climate from confidence in man to confidence in God for the healing of our nation, and that God, in response, would answer with the fire of revival on a people who refused to bow (via a compromised vote) to the image of Caesar. Jesus said, Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's. How can I stoop to surrender the image of God in marriage to Caesar (Gen. 1:26 28)? How can I forfeit God's image in the unborn through abortion to Caesar, when Scripture clearly warns against the shedding of innocent blood? (Gen. 4:10, 9:6; Deut. 19:13; Psa. 72:12-14; Ezek. 35:6)
These are not small questions, driving me in great consternation to much dialogue with my Christian brothers and sisters across the nation. I found myself challenged by a simple question: Can you be sure that if you don't vote for Romney you aren't still accountable for the shedding of innocent blood, similar to a sin of omission? After all, abortion could greatly proliferate under Obamacare. Furthermore, though Romney allows for the exceptions clause, with which I disagree, he remains opposed to all other cases, and this statistically represents 98.5% of current abortion procedures. Successfully overturning 98.5% of abortions would represent a massive shift in our national blood guilt. In this view, voter accountability becomes more complex, and the answers not so clear.
Bringing further challenge, I was given a scenario, a true moral conundrum. If I had been a Christian conservative in pre-Nazi Germany, as the nation floundered in moral and economic woes, and there I heard the rousing moral clarity of a leader promising a strong economy, who was also pro-family, pro-marriage, anti-debauchery and drunkenness, etc., could I have actually made the mistake of voting as a matter of conviction for Hitler (who in fact adopted those many good positions)? Could principles in fact blind me to the moment, such that I would support the raising of a king whom Christ Himself would want torn down? Whoa! This is a deeply troubling thought. To me it seems clear that if I had made my stand on principle alone I would have missed God and joined in the destruction of 6 million Jews. This is why we must submit ourselves to the governance of the Holy Spirit, for the wrong application of right principles can cloud even the discernment of the righteous.
At about this time of crisis in my own thought processes, my closest friend (and a true prophet in my life) had a compelling dream concerning Romney's viability as a candidate. In the dream, Romney was clearly favorable from a divine perspective. After this, the substance of my friend's dream was immediately confirmed by another prophetic encounter from another well known prophetic voice.
Now hear me, this election is not about Romney being the great answer to America's problems. Rather, these prophetic experiences seemed to indicate that Romney was a sort of window of mercy to America on several fronts, but chiefly the dividing of Jerusalem. The thought of protecting that ancient covenantal bond of God shifted my paradigm dramatically. I found myself having to peer into another biblical principle that I heretofore had not pondered with the same intensity as I had the life issue.
As I sought the Lord concerning these various biblical truths and prophetic words, it was as if a light began to shine into my heart. I sensed the Lord saying, Will you stand with Me in my covenantal faithfulness? Will you stand for my ancient covenant with My people? A deep abiding "yes" began to conquer my arguments.
Therefore I now make this statement for the sake of both my own conscience and for the clearing of any misconceptions or questions currently circulating in the body. I remain to this day a no exceptions voter, though very challenged by lingering questions regarding the practical application of a principled vote. I am committed to the highest, best moral and faith response to the political issue of abortion. I seek its ultimate end, and its progressive end. But I refuse to castigate any well-meaning believers who come to a different conclusion than mine. It seems to me there is room for great Christian understanding and patience with one another in the journey.
With that said, I am declaring my best, personal understanding of the Lord 's heart in this hour: that in this election, America 's future is on dangerous ground, facing judgment not only over abortion and other key issues, but most definitely over the high possibility of breaking faith with God's covenant with Jerusalem, the land of Israel, and His covenant people. President Obama has publicly called for the return of the land of Jerusalem and Israel to the pre-1967 boundaries. I can't go there. I won't. My heart had been opened to another great theme: The Life of the unborn has called me and God 's covenant to the Jewish people restrains me.
I am voting for Romney.
In clean conscience,
Lou Engle

Victoria Boyson: The Enemy's Curses Bring the Blessings of God
He'd been traveling for some time. Having left his home in haste, he was running for his life. Someone was after him. He had been chased before, but this time it was different. It broke his heart, because this time it was his son.
He'd been told back at the palace that his son had declared himself king in his place. Quickly gathering what provisions he could carry, he ran away with his very large household.
His heart was overwhelmed with the shock and pain of the betrayal and deceit. He loved his son. They had had their battles, but he loved him and always would. Now, he was running from him, desperately trying to outmaneuver him and save the rest of his family.
King David's son, Absalom, had garnered support from some of David's most loyal friends and advisors (see 2 Samuel 15:31) and had cemented his disgrace by sleeping with his father's concubines. David was caught so unaware by his son's betrayal he nearly lost his life (see 2 Samuel 17:2).
Leaving Jerusalem, David wept with his head covered and his feet bare as a sign of mourning in the company of all those with him as they escaped together (see 2 Samuel 15:30).
As David reached Buhurim, he struggled to keep himself and his family alive, to keep his emotions from betraying him as he tried desperately to wrap his mind around such agonizing betrayal and to find deliverance. In this aggrieved state, he came upon a man named Shimei (see 2 Samuel 16:5-13).
Shimei was a member of the family of Saul and wanted revenge for what he perceived as David's assault against his family and Saul's throne. He was a bitter and hateful man.
With utter contempt and disdain for David's position as king, Shimei threw rocks at him and screamed, "Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!...The Lord is paying you back for all the bloodshed in Saul's clan. You stole his throne, and now the Lord has given it to your son Absalom. At last you will taste some of your own medicine, for you are a murderer!" (2 Samuel 16:7-8).
David's men jumped to his defense, "'Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king?' Abishai son of Zeruiah demanded. 'Let me go over and cut off his head!'" (2 Samuel 16:9).
David At a Crossroads
David was down and needed help. He needed mercy and knew of no other
help for himself but God. As unjust as Shimei's accusations against him
were, his only thought was not for reprisal but blessing. He saw
Shimei's slander as an opportunity for his own deliverance."No!" the king said. "Who asked your opinion, you sons of Zeruiah! If the Lord has told him to curse me, who are you to stop him?" 2 Samuel 16:10
David knew God's nature and His great love for him, and he believed God would stick up for him. He put his faith in a just God and wanted His blessing. So, David humbled himself and refused to retaliate against Shimei, wanting God's blessing more than to strike back.
Then David said to all his servants, "Leave him alone and let him curse, for the Lord has told him to do it. And perhaps the Lord will see that I am being wronged and will bless me because of these curses today" (2 Samuel 16:11-12).
In a split second, David had to decide how he would react to Shimei's curses. Would he retaliate and have him killed? No, he saw right away how Shimei's curses could make him a target for God's blessings.
I can't tell you how many times I have been in a similar situation as David's. I've been kicked when I was down – who hasn't? It hurts a great deal, but it is also an opportunity for blessing to be released to us when we need it.
David knew the power of mercy, and he saw this as an opportunity to release the power of God's heart to his life when he truly needed it.
"Leave him alone," David said. And even as they continued their journey, Shimei followed them and persisted in his frustrating accusations against the king (see 2 Samuel 16:13).
His wonder-less curses were salt poured in David's open wounds. As though he were not the king, Shimei treated David with no more respect than a dog.
Unrighteous Judgment
God's plan and will for Jesus was the Cross, and for our sake He
embraced it. He died to become the door of our salvation (see John
10:9). Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for us. He was
the only One worthy of judging us, yet He chose to die for us instead.Many in the Body of Christ today think their calling is to judge others. We do need righteous judges, but you can only rightly judge what you are willing to die for. If you are willing to die for what you love, then the love of God is in you. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
Too many are judging what they do not love and their judgments are at best a distortion of the truth. They have been deceived by or submitted themselves to an angel of light (see 2 Corinthians 11:14), possessing an element of the truth without the grace to enable others to receive it.
What we have to keep in mind and what God seeks to remind us of is that He seeks out the broken and wants to be close to them (see Psalm 34:18). When someone is down and others try to take advantage of them, His heart becomes engaged and enraged and He comes to their defense. He defends them with His blessing.
I know there have been times I've received blessings from the Father solely due to the treatment I've endured from others. I've been blessed by God because they chose to curse me.
Your Heavenly Father sees how you've been treated even more clearly than you do. And He sees your heart and retaliates against their antagonism by pouring out His blessings on you.
America At a Crossroads
God has been shaking America and He's been shaking His Church – He is
stripping His Church from what holds it in bondage. As a nation we've
experienced God's shaking and discipline, and there have been those who
have tried to take advantage of our weakened position. Instead of
standing by us in our time of need, they have become an agent for our
adversary.Persecution must come, Christ promised us it would, but woe to those from whom it comes (see Matthew 18:7). The Lord has heard their curses and is preparing to bless us because of their hate-filled plans for this nation.
Indeed, winds of sweeping change are coming to America!
The Lord says, "In government, in the Church, in the media, in Hollywood, and especially in the area of FINANCES, I will bring sweeping change."
He said, "Many have said, concerning America, 'It is nothing – we will bring it down!' They have said, 'Destruction will come to America and it will never rise again!' But I, the Lord, am the One and only One who decides the fate of nations. I and I alone determine the heartbeat of the nation of America, and I have determined in My heart I will fill America with a deep, strong, and passionate heartbeat."
God will bless America because of the curses of our enemies – the more they curse us, the more determined He is to bless us. Truly, He has shaken us, and as He restores us to Himself, He will bless those who have trusted in His faithfulness. For He says, "What you sow into this nation, you will mightily reap."
You see, the Lord has not lost hope for this nation, and that fact alone should be enough to encourage us. He knows, much more than we do, who our true enemies are and what they are planning against us. Indeed, He knows and already has a plan to save us.
As a nation and as God's people around the world, He hears the curses and accusations brought against you. Get ready...the blessings are on their way.

Sandy is a form of Cassandra... Does this storm have any meaning for you?
cas·san·dra/kəˈsandrə/
- A daughter of Priam, who was given the gift of prophecy by Apollo. He caused her prophecies, though true, to be disbelieved.
- A prophet of disaster, esp. one who is disregarded.
~ THE PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE OF HURRICANE SANDY ~
The Name Sandy is short for Sandra. A diminutive of Casirnir, Cassandra, or Catherine. In English, the name Sandra means- "Unheeded prophetess or prophecy"
For to long America has disregarded her national prophecies; instead she has foolishly turned her ear mute concerning the voice of the Lord.
I believe that Daddy God is trying to get America's attention by using "Sandy" and reminding her to take heed of the warnings that he has sent her and to take heed of the national prophecies she has yet to fulfill.
I believe we have yet to see the greatest days for this nation, but the first steps towards this will be for her to humble herself and repent.
It is time to "Take Heed" to the Voice of the Lord!
Here are some scriptures for the "Body of Christ" to Take Heed to
1.) Take Heed that you worship no other but Him. Radically Worship the Lord.
Exodus 34:12 & 14
"Take heed to thyself...For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"
2.) Take Heed that you speak the what Daddy God says
Numbers 23:12
"And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?"
3.) Take Heed to the statues that God has place in this country, Take Heed to His Law with your soul and Take Heed to teach them to your children.
Deuteronomy 4:8-9
"And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Only Take Heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons.."
4.) Take Heed to the Covenant He has made with you
Deuteronomy 4:23
"Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you..."
5.) Take Heed that you do not become Deceived
Deuteronomy 11:16
"Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them..."
6.) Take Heed and remember we are His people
Deuteronomy 27:9
"Take heed , and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God."
7.) Take Heed for He has called you to build His "House"
1 Chronicles 28:10
"Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it."

The Perfect Storm update
This storm (Sandy) is more severe than you imagine. In 1991 the atmospheric disturbance known as the Perfect Storm as measured in Millibars was 971. It was historic. It caused enormous damage and death. There was a movie called "The Perfect Storm" about that Nor'easter. It was on Halloween. This storm, Sandy is currently 951 millibars. Lower Barometric pressure means more intense. This is a huge atmospheric disturbance. We may be seeing what John Paul Jackson prophesied in 2008 when he said there would be hurricanes 500 miles wide that would flood 100 miles inland. This storm is already as dangerous as Irene last fall was which had a millibar reading of 942 at it's peak. I shall wait and see...but this is a BIG STORM.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
AN IMPORTANT MOMENT
It is almost time to vote and to make our choices for president and other political offices both local and national. You have often heard it said that this is a turning point in our country’s history and I could not agree more.
The Church is not a political organism, but as you hopefully have learned in the US Bishops Faithful Citizenship material (which we have made widely available to you in the parishes, in the Compass and on-line), the Church has the responsibility to speak out regarding moral issues, especially on those issues that impact the “common good” and the “dignity of the human person.”
I would like to review some of the principles to keep in mind as you approach the voting booth to complete your ballot. The first is the set of non-negotiables. These are areas that are “intrinsically evil” and cannot be supported by anyone who is a believer in God or the common good or the dignity of the human person.
They are:
These are intrinsically evil. “A well-formed Christian conscience does not permit one to vote for a political program that contradicts fundamental contents of faith and morals.” Intrinsically evil actions are those which have an evil object. In other words, an act is evil by its very nature and to choose an action of this type puts one in grave moral danger.
But what does this have to do with the election? Some candidates and one party have even chosen some of these as their party’s or their personal political platform. To vote for someone in favor of these positions means that you could be morally “complicit” with these choices which are intrinsically evil. This could put your own soul in jeopardy.
The other position to keep in mind is the protection of religious liberty. The recent aggressive moves by the government to impose the HHS mandate, especially the move to redefine religion so that religion is confined more and more to the four walls of the Church, is a dangerous precedent. This will certainly hurt the many health care services to the poor given by our Catholic hospitals. Our Catholic hospitals in the Diocese give millions of dollars per year in donated services to the poor. In the new plan, only Catholic people can be treated by Catholic institutions.
It has never been our mission to be exclusive of those who are not of our faith. This mandate also places Catholic business owners in a very precarious position in that they, too, will have to pay for those medical “services” which violate Catholic teaching. This has never been the American way and now these moves and others by the present government, will significantly alter and marginalize the role of religious institutions in our society.
These positions are indicators of a broader societal disposition to remove God from the public square and from any relation to society whatever. It is precisely religion and the free exercise thereof which has made this country great in the past.
Many people in our Diocese are presently without work. Our Catholic Charities is serving more and more people who are unemployed or under employed and can barely keep up with the demands. Work is so critical to the family and to the sense of human dignity. An economy which does the most for the common good is an economy that works and provides people gainful employment for the country’s citizens. A government that works pays its bills and models for citizens what it means to be responsible and contributive.
Let us pray for the electorate and let’s take action, that we may vote for good and moral leaders for this great country which will only remain great, if she continues to be and to do the good.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Prophecy regarding the Consequence of the Upcoming Election
Those who believe that this is going to be a landslide for Romney don't know history very well. Reagan was an anomaly. Carter was the worst president in the history of the USA. Reagan didn't beat him, Carter beat himself.
People talk a big game of hope and change for Romney, but the electorate is always chicken. The devil we know is better then the devil we don't know. OH, it's clear. I will cast my vote for Romney. He wasn't my first choice, but he is the only choice now. I will encourage others to do the same. This election is about the cultural and moral free-fall that has accelerated in the last decade. Perhaps a moral man of principle, even if he is a Mormon, will set a new standard for the nation.
I cannot and will not support any politician, republican or democrat who supports abortion and planned parenthood, supports homosexual marriage and the homosexual agenda (don't ask don't tell repeal), has furthered the attack on the freedom of religion and a support for Islam in America. I won't even mention issues regarding our economy or our national security. Those are not the issues that a vote for Obama would cause me to go against everything I believe in. A vote for him is in essence voting for a continued future of an ungodly agenda. Sadly many people will vote against their conscience, knowing full well that they are spitting in the face of the one who saved them out of that mess. They will return to vote for sin like a dog returning to it's vomit (As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly Proverbs 26:11). Supporting things they know are simply wrong morally and against the word of God.
There will be a price to pay when they do. It's a spiritual law. Reward and punishment will be exacted in the spirit. They are calling it down on their own heads. I know this is a hard word and many will take offense. That which offends the mind, reveals the heart. God is about to check your heart.

The Work of Belial is a Seared Conscience
MANY that VOTE this election will do so because they already have or will add to a seared conscience as they cast a vote for candidates who support free abortion, planned parenthood, gay marriage, the homosexual agenda, Islamification of America and the assault on freedom of religion in the USA. This is not about support for a man, its about an ungodly agenda:
“Prayers that rout demons and break curses” is an important book written by Apostle John Eckhardt.
In Chapter 3, John Eckhardt deals with “The Curse of a Seared Conscience”. The more I read this, the power of the Holy Spirit was convicting me concerning how I have allowed my own conscience to be seared and in so doing, slowed or even stopped the move of God in certain areas in my life. I know that it will be of great benefit to you as it has been for me. Let me quote some of what John Eckhardt says:
The choice is yours. Choose well. Listen to the voice of your conscience.

To defile means “to contaminate or make unclean.” This is obviously a reference to evil spirits operating in the conscience.IF how you vote in a few days further sears your conscience as you sanction (embrace) an ungodly agenda, that willful act will leave you open to all sorts of demonic invasion you never planned for. Defiling your conscience will rob and blind you. IF you can not support a candidate that goes against your traditional politics, your only choice is to not vote at all. At least you will not open the door to unclean spirits that WILL - I PROMISE YOU - come into your life when you vote against the voice of your conscience. Some will even lose their ministry if they indulge their political bias in opposition to the righteousness they may give lip service to the rest of the time. Some by embracing this agenda have already begun the downward spiral. God will not bless the works of Belial.
When the conscience is seared, men and women are opened to all kinds of unclean spirits and their curses and are capable of all kinds of unclean acts. For example, there are many today who no longer feel that homosexuality, lesbianism, and incest are wrong.
Belial has cauterized (deadened) the conscience to accept these things as acceptable lifestyles. When the conscience has been seared, men are capable of the vilest and most sickening acts. These is almost no limit to the depravity that men can exhibit when they are bound by the curse of a seared conscience.”
The choice is yours. Choose well. Listen to the voice of your conscience.

ANGELS
Ministering Angels
When we study out the Scriptures in the Word of God, we see a consistency of supernatural aid that was given both to the nation of Israel in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament Church through the agency of the prophets and the angelic hosts. We can easily see that the angelic realm often aids in the fulfillment of the prophetic word that is shown to the prophet. As God's word is released, the angels go to work to make it come to pass.
We see nearly forty references to the work and ministry of angels related to the help and development of the kingdom of Israel in the Old Testament. This alone would be enough to establish the reality of angels, but the New Testament continues to expand our understanding of these powerful beings sent from Heaven. Although the New Testament is far shorter than the Old, we see that they are mentioned over one hundred and sixty times. The four Gospels are filled with references, and the Book of Acts speaks of six specific times that angels ministered to God's people. Two powerful verses can be found in the Book of Hebrews in reference to their abilities as well as their mission.
And of the angels He saith, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." Hebrews 1:7
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:14
If there is one thing we are learning more and more in this hour, it is that Heaven is backing up every step that we make and every word that we speak as His Church advances His Kingdom on the earth. The Bible clearly shows us in the Book of Amos that when He is about to do something in the earth He will first reveal it to His servants the prophets.
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. Amos 3:7
The prophet simply conveys to the people what the Lord has shown him will come to pass. The timetable of the word's fulfillment is often left open because it was not shown to the prophetic voice, or like in the case of Daniel, was held up for twenty-one days as the angels fought in the heavens to make a way for Gabriel to deliver the word to Daniel. I believe that this is what takes place more often than not: a war on words. A war over God's prophetic word being established and made reality on earth.
Just a few nights ago, as I went to sleep I was given a dream where a messenger angel came and spoke a word to me concerning the state of Ohio and the surrounding states. In this dream, the angel made this following statement to me, "I have been sent by God to deliver a message concerning the state of Ohio and its present condition. As Ohio goes, so goes the nation! God says it is the time for Gulliver to begin his travels." The angel made direct reference to the word that Bob had released in 2005 entitled "Gulliver." He said that this word has been delayed for a time, but will surely come to pass shortly. In addition to what will begin to happen in this coming season of outpouring in Ohio, six other states will be affected: Indiana, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Illinois.
As a result of this outpouring, God is going to begin to fulfill His prophetic word over that land. There is such great destiny in the state of Ohio because there are seeds of greatness within the people. Every time I travel throughout the state, I can sense the brooding of the Spirit, ready to release a fresh outpouring. So much prayer has gone up over this state for many years.
There is a powerful prayer group in Hamilton, Ohio. The founders are two passionate Believers that are well into their nineties. They have met every Wednesday for over fifty years praying and proclaiming revival over the land. While I was with them just a few weeks ago, you could feel a tangible glory as we came into agreement over the nation and what God wanted to do in the land. God is on the move and Gulliver is waking up. God is releasing His awakening angels in Ohio to awaken the sleeping giant.
There is no lack in hunger for outpouring in Ohio and there will be no lack or delay on the promises of God. We have held and been a part of many powerful meetings in Ohio, but I believe it is nothing to be compared with what we are about to see! The state motto for Ohio is, "With God all things are possible," and although some in the government have tried to change that over the years, it still remains the same to this day.
As this happened, many miracles began to take place inside the church. I want to share one that I believe attests to this visitation. A woman who was not born again gave her life to Jesus after receiving a healing in her shoulder and back. She cried as she testified to the goodness of God. She had attended church for many years, but never surrendered her life to God until that day. I believe that this is just an example of the role the heavenly hosts are going to play in this coming harvest.
We are in a season much like Genesis 18, where God is sending His heavenly hosts to deliver the message to the seed of Abraham. They are looking for tents to dwell in. They are looking for houses of worship that are making room for them to stay. I believe that many churches in the state of Ohio are going to see a great increase in the angelic realm, and in turn, see a great harvest of souls in the coming days. This is the hour of the fulfillment of His prophetic word over the land. Gulliver shall begin his travels. Laugh not, for it shall surely come! Remember what the Lord told Sarah: "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" Again I tell you, with God all things are possible!

Delayed Prophetic Words
With all of that said, I wanted to share a dream that I had recently
over a prophetic word that has been delayed for a few years, but I know
will begin to play out in the coming months ahead and on into 2013. I
have always had great respect for Bob Jones; in fact, I believe that he
is one of the leading prophetic voices in the earth today, and the
consistency of his prophetic gift has been shown throughout many years.
Many of his words have come to pass over the years giving us a clear
picture that God is still speaking to us today through the prophetic.Just a few nights ago, as I went to sleep I was given a dream where a messenger angel came and spoke a word to me concerning the state of Ohio and the surrounding states. In this dream, the angel made this following statement to me, "I have been sent by God to deliver a message concerning the state of Ohio and its present condition. As Ohio goes, so goes the nation!

With God All Things Are Possible
In closing, I wanted to share one other significant encounter that
recently took place while ministering in Cleveland with my good friend,
Munday Martin. On a Sunday morning as we began to minister to the
people, a young man who was not serving the Lord stepped out to have a
cigarette. As he sat outside, his eyes were opened to the realm of the
Spirit and he saw a man in white linen walk into the church. To say that
he was shocked would be an understatement. As this happened, many miracles began to take place inside the church. I want to share one that I believe attests to this visitation. A woman who was not born again gave her life to Jesus after receiving a healing in her shoulder and back. She cried as she testified to the goodness of God.

THESE ARE THE DAYS, HALLELUJAH! By Olufunso J. Omidiran
www.livingsword.org
As I Was waking up from bed this morning, I had a vivid experience and encounter with the Holy Spirit and it was very strong in my spirit as the word of the Lord came onto me thus:
“There is a day of RECKONNING, there is a day of REWARD, and there is a day of RECOMPENCE….. These are the days!”
Then the Holy Spirit began to testify strongly to me that at this time He is about to visit His faithful children who have been toiling and labouring in the kingdom; He is about to repay them!
Have you been serving the Lord, sowing your seeds with tears? Have you been rendering good and worthy works without receiving due honour and recognition? Have you been doing it right and nobody seems to be paying attention? Does it not seem as if people do not appreciate your worth and your work? Has it been occurring to you as if the Lord has forgotten your faithful and obedient service? Cheer up, your season has come!
When this word came to me this morning I was excited in my spirit and it was such an incredible feeling and then I told the Lord ‘If indeed this word is coming from you O Lord, show it to my wife as well!”. Of course she was on bed beside me. I was quite sure I’d heard from the Lord, just needed some confirmation and not a fleece as it were! After praying that simple prayer I waited for some few minutes and was ready and eager to hear my wife tell me that she also got the revelation from God! Yes indeed, it was so: I tried to wake her up and then tried to narrate my experience and then she interrupted me and told me what she’d heard from God some few minutes before I awoke her! The Lord did answer my prayer and confirmed His word. She told me of how God just showed her that He was about to bless His people handsomely and awesomely. She said it was like a dream or short trance and she heard it clearly but it was quite unbelievable. Then I told her that I’d asked the Lord to show her the same thing He revealed to me. Faithful indeed is the Lord.
Before I close this prophetic exhortation I want you to read with me a portion of Scripture:
“After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision saying, Fear not Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant compensation and your reward shall be exceedingly great” (Genesis 15:1).
All I was led to do this morning is to encourage the elect servants of the King, fear not for thy salvation draweth nigh and thy abundant compensation and reward is at hand; thy labour shall not be wasted. Compensation comes as repayment for loss or damage and Reward comes as payment for good work done− they are all yours. If you agree with me and receive this word, blessed are you. We shall all celebrate together, for these are the days! Shalom.

The Doors Are Open By Jorge Parrott
At times the whole earth has to shake for us to see heaven open. Does
our complacency and lukewarm heart keep us from seeing into the
spiritual realm? In 1 Corinthians 2:9 we see ‘…as it is written: “Eye
has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the
things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
We are entering a time of unprecedented change never experienced before. While the earth trembles and quakes at an alarming pace many nations are raging. Presidents and Kings come and go while those who are disciples of Jesus Christ are awakening to fresh encounters of the Holy Spirit. There is a smell of fresh morning dew in the air. The Lord is preparing us so we are not surprised at anything that is offered by the world. God is preparing us to stay amazed at his indescribable sovereignty and majesty.Rick Joyner spoke recently of a dream he had and saw two doors open to MorningStar. One door led to an increase in grace and favor and the other door led to increased revelation. Rick said there was much in heaven awaiting us that we had not accessed. Our unbelief has limited what God desires for us to accomplish for his glory. God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. Let us be known as a movement that does not limit God in any way.
The body of Christ worldwide may appear to have been sleeping for a season but now there is a stirring and an awakening that signals a convergence of intercession, persecution, hunger and prophetic proclamations. The flames of lasting revival are burning hotter and hotter. We may have thought it was not our time, but now it is our time. Prophetic discernment of the times heightens our sense of urgency to save souls and to roar with the Lion of Judah.
Is It Not Our Time?
When Jesus changed the water into wine at his first recorded miracle when the wedding party at Cana ran out of wine and his Mother expected him to do something about it, we read in John 2:4 “Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” (NKJV) Whether he acted out of love for his mother or in obedience to the voice of his Father that day he proved that no natural law was stronger than the laws of heaven. Rick had another remarkable dream recently where he was not subject to any natural law or even the laws of gravity. Our dreams help pave the way for our hearts and minds to accept what formerly seemed impossible. With God nothing is impossible.
Just Go Forward!
When the Egyptians were on the tails of the Jewish people coming out of Egypt, fear came upon the Jews. In the natural they saw the Red Sea before them and the angry army behind them. They had no choice but to cry out to Moses their leader. In Exodus 14:13- 16 ‘And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” ‘And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.’
Many are standing in a state of shock over the surprises of the last few years. Many have experienced serious loss of some kind; from losing their jobs, their savings, their equity, their homes or more. Even our nation and our very Constitution are at grave risk. The
Lord is merciful in how he has sought to gain our attention. Are we ready to cry out, get over ourselves, repent as a nation, and be a warm host of the tsunami of souls coming in? The Lord is encouraging us to “Go forward”.
Our faith looks for ways to increase as we witness increasing reports of miracles, healings, and supernatural events right before our eyes. Many are standing at the precipice of entering a realm of the fullness of a new, fresh commitment to the life of sacrifice living the way Jesus lived and died for us so we can live abundantly. John 10:10
The Holy Spirit loves to bring order to chaos. This inward stirring of the great harvest, dreams, prophetic breakthrough, and boldness arising is the living Spirit of God residing and speaking in his people for such a time as this. The recent time of trials and pruning will truly fade as mere temporary light afflictions as we see the glory of God increasing every where we go. Rejoice as you enter the battles ahead to enter your promised land. The Spirit of God is sharpening our focus to shut out the distractions and static that formerly caused us to get off track.
Even now we may look splintered and a bit rag-tag, but just like the twelve that Jesus picked to change the world, so too are we called for such a time as this. Our common unity is that we hunger to reach the lost, heal the sick, make disciples of all nations, and see heaven populated with those who once were on their way to hell. There is no adventure more exciting than the faith realm.
Prophetic evangelism and our ministry of the supernatural is the reality of the true and normal Christian life. The fires of revival and the coming tsunami of souls are but previews of the coming attractions.
Our faith is the key to overcoming the darkness, the doubt, and unbelief. The Lord only goes where he is welcome and he stands at the door of our hearts, at the door of our churches, knocking to see if we will let him in.
The Lord uses the most unlikely vessels to accomplish the most unbelievable. In John 20:30-31 we see “And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”
We are created in the image of the triune God and we are called to be imitators of Jesus Christ. We are not God and we are not Jesus, but we are supernatural beings in these earthen vessels in preparation for ruling and reigning with the Captain of the host of the army. The completed work on the cross is more than enough for us to be world changers as we seek ‘to do what the Father does, and speak what the Father speaks.’
We Are To Walk In This Authority
In Matthew 28:18 we read ‘And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Testimonies Paving The Highway To Heaven
How many verified miracles have you heard of in the last few years? Todd Bentley, Rob and Aliss Cresswell, Bob Jones and many more in the global Body of Christ are testifying to documented supernatural healings and prophetic words, dreams, and visions coming to pass during our lifetime. The numbers are increasing daily. We have not seen anything yet!
John Wimber is known as having prayed for a thousand people before the first one was healed. May we grow in persistence through the trials, tribulations and the tests by exercising daily our measure of faith by feeding our faith. 1 John 5:4 reminds us “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith”.
In Revelations 4:1 we read ‘After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
Jesus is knocking at the door of our heart. We must choose daily to examine ourselves and seek fresh revelations and encounters to open that door more and more. The king of glory wants to come in.
Bobby Conner likened the spiritual reality of the Kingdom to a thin veil of ‘Saran Wrap” one or two years ago. That veil between the earthly and heavenly realm is now even thinner. The Kingdom of God is at hand. May our eyes be opened to see the doors before us. May we step through the open doors to the supernatural as Kings and Priests of the most high God. See it, smell it, hear it, touch it, breathe it in, and speak it out-declaring freedom to the captives, in Jesus’ name. It is time for us to see the open doors and walk in.

In Revelations 4:1 we read ‘After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
Jesus is knocking at the door of our heart. We must choose daily to examine ourselves and seek fresh revelations and encounters to open that door more and more. The king of glory wants to come in.
Bobby Conner likened the spiritual reality of the Kingdom to a thin veil of ‘Saran Wrap” one or two years ago. That veil between the earthly and heavenly realm is now even thinner. The Kingdom of God is at hand. May our eyes be opened to see the doors before us. May we step through the open doors to the supernatural as Kings and Priests of the most high God. See it, smell it, hear it, touch it, breathe it in, and speak it out-declaring freedom to the captives, in Jesus’ name. It is time for us to see the open doors and walk in.

Wade E. Taylor: The Price of Truth
If the Lord had made spirituality both attractive and easy to attain, multitudes would have followed Him: "For many are called, but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14).
There is a vast difference between a prophet and a politician. The term "grass roots" refers to the discovery of what people think and want. The politician then offers what the majority wants and, as a result, becomes popular and is elected. In other words, the politician seeks out which way the majority is going. Then, he stands in front of them and says, "Follow me."
But the prophet stands alone and says, "You are going the wrong way, turn around." The politician is popular because he relates to the majority. The prophet is never popular because his word is costly and requires change. People often are deceived because they choose that which is presently comfortable, rather than being willing to pay the "price of truth."
"Buy the truth, and sell it not..." Proverbs 23:23
Truth is always costly and the result may not be seen, but to choose less, in the long run, is much more costly.
"But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required..." Luke 12:48
Those who continually look for "something for nothing" are open to deception. Many of these will compromise rather than submit to the Lord's way. The Lord works very slowly, but very thoroughly, as He is more interested in what we are becoming than in what we are doing. Our "self" will always seek comfort and a life of ease.
The enemy of our spiritual life also sought for his personal gain.
For you have said in your heart: "I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High." Isaiah 14:13-14 NKJV
Satan sought his own will and comfort – "I will." Jesus always said, "Thy will be done." Jesus never acted on His own, or sought His own gain and comfort.
After Jesus was baptized, the heavens opened and the Father spoke, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 17:5). The Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus, and the approbation, or the favor of God, rested upon Him.
But, immediately after this, He was led into the wilderness where He was tested for forty days. At the end of this time, Jesus became intensely hungry, and the enemy came to remind Him that He could do something about this intense hunger. Jesus refused, saying that His Father had not told Him to do this.
Each of us "hungers" for all kinds of things. We can submit these "hungers" to the will and to the Word of God, as Jesus did – "It is written..." Or, we can act on our own, seeking self-satisfaction. In effect, satan said, "If you are the Son of God, you do not need to be hungry; therefore, You should do something about it."
Satan acted very concerned and may have shed some sympathy tears about the hunger that Jesus was experiencing. Had Jesus done this, satan would have viciously turned on Him just as soon as He had satisfied His hunger by turning stones into bread. Satan could now say, "I hungered for prestige and popularity. I wanted to be seen and heard, so I acted on it ("I will ascend"). Now, You cannot judge me, as You fed Your hunger, and now, You are no different from me."
If Jesus had failed this simple but profound test, it would have resulted in His becoming disqualified to become our Savior. Rather, Jesus said, "...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word..." (Luke 4:4). Later, the angels came and fed Him a much better meal.
Jesus said, "...I do nothing of Myself...." (John 8:28). Jesus walked on water because He had a word to do so. Thus, Jesus was not walking on water but on the "substance" of the word that He had heard from His Father (see Matthew 14:25-31).
While in the boat, Peter said, "Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come..." Jesus responded with the word, "Come." Peter stepped out of the boat and began to walk, not on water, but on the word that he had received – "Come." He did well until he looked down from Jesus to the water, and as a result, began to sink. But Jesus reached out and took him by the hand and pulled him up. The Lord is always present in every test.
Our being tested precedes the blessing. Thus, Acts 1:8 becomes a powerful present word:
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The word "after" confirms to us that we must first be tested before we can speak the word of the Lord with substance and power.
This is the price that must be paid.
Many can say, "I have some truth." Jesus said, "I am the truth." He could only say this because He chose to put the will of His Father ahead of His own comfort and satisfaction.
There is no easy formula to success, as there is always a price. When we choose the purpose of the Lord rather than our own satisfaction and comfort, it can be said that we are "Buying the truth" (Proverbs 23:23).
Many are called, but few are willing to pay the price of truth. May we be found among those who are willing to do so.

Solomon said, "The day of death is better than the day of one's birth"
Sad times teach us about our condition of life more than our happy times. Funerals force us to reflect on the serious matters of life. In the death of our loved ones we see it as a reality that interrupts our dreams and brings us back to earth. It reinforms us that life has limits and causes us to consider both God and our human family more seriously, and most of all, it points us to the real hope that believers have in the reality that lies beyond this world and it's vail of tears.
Maybe this is the reason Solomon said, "The day of death is better than the day of one's birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (Ecclesiastes 7:1-4). By this I do not believe it is wrong to laugh and be happy, but consider that life is not a party all the time where we should not be aware of the fact that it will end.
Death stops us in our tracks and reveals to us what is the most important thing in our life and that is "God". At death, the family and friends have memories which may be good and sometimes bad. Someone else will drive your car, live in your house, spend your money, take your place at the job, but what will you have? "As a tree falleth, so shall it also lie". Don't get swept up into this party seeking generation that you forget God and His word. He meant what He said, "My word shall not pass away". kbm

When the Nation is Thrown a Curve Ball— prophecy James Goll
I was alone sleeping in a downstairs room in my home in Franklin, Tennessee. Michal Ann was still with us at the time though very ill with her long fought battle with cancer. We had round the clock home caregivers with her – whether in our bedroom, at the hospital, and in the rehabilitation unit. We slept the last two years of her dear life apart, as she was constantly being taken care of.
So I was desperate and seeking the Lord that night in a little hide-away room down in our basement. That night the Lord gave me a vivid dream followed by a waking vision and an experience where the external audible voice of the Lord came to me.
So I was desperate and seeking the Lord that night in a little hide-away room down in our basement. That night the Lord gave me a vivid dream followed by a waking vision and an experience where the external audible voice of the Lord came to me.
VISITATION FROM EARLY 2008
In the dream, I saw the nation on a teeter-totter tipping back and forth going to and fro – with great instability. We were going up and down and up and down and it seemed there was no relief is sight. The United States was reeling from fatigue of wars, corruption and economic uncertainty.
Then the voice of the Lord came in the dream, “Liberalism will reign for a season in the land and then it will become popular for moderacy to rule which could ultimately lead to true conservatism.” (It was not the word I honestly wanted to hear from the Holy Spirit at the time but it came very succinctly to me anyway. Sometimes, we have to remove our own preconceived prejudices with our tainted filters to be able perceive a clear word from the Lord.)
Suddenly, I was awakened from the dream and the basement room was tangibly filled with the presence of destiny. I then saw in the seer realm a “baseball game in action”. A young pitcher was throwing a ball to the plate with great force and seeming agility. It was a curve ball that appears to be a strike but instead it was not a ball for the batter to swing at. Another player was squatted behind the plate with a huge catcher’s mitt. He caught the off target ball as it pounded into his glove.
Then the external voice of the Lord came to me saying, “When the nation has been thrown a curve ball, I will have a man prepared who comes from the state of Michigan and he will have a big mitt capable of catching whatever is thrown his way.”

Then the external voice of the Lord came to me saying, “When the nation has been thrown a curve ball, I will have a man prepared who comes from the state of Michigan and he will have a big mitt capable of catching whatever is thrown his way.”
HEARING A HARD WORD!
A strange word… I did not understand it except for the sequence – liberalism to moderarcy to the possibility of true conservatism. I have “wrestled with this word and it has wrestled with me”. I remember even being in the state of Massachusetts at a church not long after this encounter, squatting to the ground and acting out the word about the Lord preparing a man from Michigan who would have a big Mitt! Mercy! Some liked what they heard and some did not. I was a bit clueless.
I thought it was for then – 2008 – and I guess part it was. Liberalism has ruled in the nation for the past four years. Some cheer this as a great success and other bemoan this as a disaster. Whatever your view, it has come to pass. Liberalism, unlike any recent time in modern American history, has ruled the land in the past four years.
But the Lord said there would be a man prepared who would come from the state of Michigan who would have a “big mitt”. Little did I know at that time that Mitt Romney – former Governor of Massachusetts, was born in the state of Michigan. Little did I know, when I received this in 2008, that he would win his parties primary for the 2012 national elections!

AT THE CROSS ROADS OF HISTORY
Let me give a word of perspective. We are not voting for a pastor, or an elder, or a deacon of a church. This is not the next “senior pastoral selection committee”. There are many views and I value interaction, discussion and educated dialogue. Let me also be clear and state, I did not say who would win the national election. We have a free choice and God honors that. But He always offers us a choice.
As I have stated earlier, I have “wrestled with this word and it has wrestled with me”. I have pondered deeply if I should even share the word at all publicly. I understand about praying revelation and at times not sharing your word with others. I have privately prayed more words than I have given in public. I have taught this realm for years and these truths are contained in my book The Prophetic Intercessor.
But being that we are in such a crisis of a crossroads in this nation, I for one cannot remain silent. I cannot let this word go unspoken. The Holy Spirit gave a confirmation to it to give me confidence. I have pondered and prayed through this issue. I have made a decision to dare to be bold enough to share my subjective revelatory experience with you.
The New Testament says to, “Test all things and hold fast to that which is good.” But please, whatever you do, do not be apathetic in this hour. Get informed – even at this last minute – pray and seek the face of God and put works to your faith – and VOTE!
This is our American liberty that men and women have fought and died for – the right for the voice of the people to be heard. I urge you – shake yourself off! Arise and make a difference! This I do know: When the nation is thrown a curve ball . . . He has a plan!

Steven L. Shelley: The Eagles and the Dove
Exodus 19:4 ...and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.
I have found myself lately revisiting a trance vision that I had some years ago. Perhaps we are moving into the season where it will have significance and application among us. A narrative of this vision follows:
I remember going very deep into the realm of the Spirit. My body was stationary, but my spirit was moving forward on a journey toward something beautiful. The first thing I saw was a crystal clear river flowing from a huge throne in the distance. The throne was so large it appeared to have many levels.
The river was very deep and flowing swiftly. I knew somehow that, in these waters, there was deliverance, freedom, and full provision for all that would be needed by the Bride in the last days. There was a tangible anointing and glory released by the swirling of the water.
An Eagle Brings a Message
I then saw a golden brown eagle flying in from the west and I knew he
was coming with a message. An eagle often represents the prophet or
prophetic seer anointing. I discerned that this eagle was bringing a
word of revelation for the Bride. As I watched, a white dove flying in
over the churning waters joined the eagle. The little dove flew faster
and faster, following the eagle.A voice then spoke and said, "First comes the prophet with a hat and then the little dove following." I recognized this prophetic riddle. It had been spoken to me in prior visions. The phrase "prophet with a hat" had been used to identify William Branham. Brother Branham was often seen and photographed in a hat, as was the custom of a gentleman in his generation. The voice continued to explain that the dove represented a true and genuine baptism of the Holy Ghost.
The Bride Wades Out Into Deeper Revelation
Looking down again, I saw a beautiful bride dressed in fine linen.
She stepped into the river but was quickly moving away from the safety
of the shoreline into deeper water. I understood that the deep waters
beckoning her represented the profound revelations and mysteries that
the Bride of Christ had been called to walk in. His Word was being
revealed to her in more intimate ways as the waters coursed over her.As I looked up again, I saw the eagle beginning to circle a large blue ball. I could see the shapes of the continents and realized that I was seeing the Earth. As the eagle continued to circle the globe, the little white dove was following closely behind.
Suddenly there appeared another bird, also white in color, but much larger than the dove. It had the same body structure as the eagle, but his feathers were pure white. Loudly I exclaimed, "It's a white eagle!"
The Angel of the Lord Appears
Then an angel stepped into view dressed in white linen. I discerned
that he was not an ordinary angel but carried a high level of authority.I need to explain a bit about the nature of these trance visions. I am sometimes able to communicate with those in the room while not breaking free from the spiritual realm. At this point in the trance, a friend asked me who this angel was. I answered him saying, "He's the Angel of the Lord."
The Angel then asked me if I was familiar with this white eagle. I remembered hearing something about him but had no real understanding of what he represented. The Angel explained that it was more important for now that I see and hear him than understand him.
The Angel then began to teach me with the patience and simplicity one would use in interacting with a small child, carefully repeating the details of what I had seen thus far. He reminded me that first the eagle came leading the dove, a type of the prophet leading the way for the true infilling of the Holy Spirit.
The Earnest Gives Way to Fullness
Ephesians 1:13-14 In
whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the Gospel
of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed
with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the
praise of His glory.He said that the advent of the prophet had already taken place. As to the true infilling, I knew in my spirit he was describing more than just another Pentecostal blessing, feeling, or sensation. This baptism would not produce another man-made denomination or religious system, but a genuine change in the life of the Believer. He added, "This time will be much different."
Dove Leads the Eagle
The Angel of the Lord explained that the true baptism of the Holy
Spirit would prepare the way for the white eagle. He said the white
eagle represented a revelation of the fullness of Jesus Christ; not just
a greater knowledge of Him, but an infilling and indwelling of the very
character and virtues of Jesus.This revelation would produce the living Word made flesh again, not just in one man as in the days of the Lord Jesus Christ, but in a whole company of Believers. This message would act as a plumb line, a measuring device to gauge the uprightness of all words given to the end time Bride of Jesus Christ.
I spoke out to those in the room, "The world has never seen what it will see in the Bride. Fools will mock and reject it, some religious leaders will scorn it, but His true Bride will receive it with gladness."
A New Thing – The Bride's Revival
I believe these words were referring to the Lord doing a new thing
that will not follow historical revival patterns but will have a
distinct model and administration. It will be an expansion of the
ministry model of the Lord Jesus Christ as seen in the Gospels. It
will be authority and power functioning and flowing in a corporate Body
of Believers especially chosen for this purpose, even before the
foundation of the world.I then heard Him say something odd, "Things are stuck on Mount Zion. The saints are stuck; they have climbed as far as they can, and it seems they cannot move any higher into the virtues and attributes of Jesus." He added that I should not give in to worry.
Mount Zion – The Backside of the Throne
Suddenly before me was this beautiful, pyramid-shaped Mount Zion. It
was the third time I had seen this massive mountain in vision. As I
looked closer, I could see the saints climbing among its cliffs,
scattered along the sides of the mountain. Some had reached higher
places than others, but all were moving slowly toward the top. I was
getting a closer look than I ever had before, and now I could see the
roughness of the slopes and the rocky, jagged terrain. Small rocks
tumbled off the ledges, loosened by the climbers. There were also large,
unstable boulders that could become dislodged and crush the climbers in
their paths.Some had climbed to places where they were unable to navigate obstacles up ahead. Some had to stop because there was no place to get a foothold or even dig in with their hands and pull themselves higher. I was blessed to see their progress but started feeling sad that more and more were becoming stalled with no way around the hindrances. It appeared that most of them would be forced to retreat and re-navigate their ascent. The Angel of the Lord startled my sad contemplation when He again reminded me, "Don't worry."
The Dove Releases New Strength to Climb
I saw a flash of movement overhead. It was the little white dove
circling the top of the mountain. A fresh anointing began showering
down, and I knew it was being released by the presence of the dove.The Angel then reminded me of a day when Brother Branham was climbing in Sabino Canyon and he had stopped to rest. I saw this scene unfold just as Brother Branham had described it in a sermon. He was leaning against the side of a cliff, using his shirt to wipe the sweat from his face and neck.
He then took his hat off and reverently held it against his chest as though sensing God's presence. Suddenly, I saw clearly the word "eagle" embedded in the stone face in white quartz letters. Brother Branham bowed his head as though receiving a divine message. I heard him say, "I have taken you as far as I can."
I heard the saints begin to shout and rejoice as the fresh anointing fell on them like a blanket. They started shouting to those below, "We can make it, keep on climbing!" Someone replied, "How do you know?" "Look up!"
Everyone could see the dove still circling the mountain, and in the distance something else was approaching. We watched as it drew closer. Someone shouted, "It's the white eagle!"
I was deeply concerned about the saints standing at the bottom of the mountain. I felt that the lateness of the hour would make it impossible for them to make it to the top.
I asked aloud, "How will they ever make it to the top before the headstone comes to cap the pyramid?"
I was familiar that, in 1962, William Branham preached a sermon from 2 Peter chapter 1, entitled The Stature of a Perfect Man. He used a pyramid chart to show how attributes listed in these verses bring us into the fullness of the stature of Jesus Christ. He also mentioned that one of the pyramids never received its capstone.
When the chart was drawn he left a gap between the top of the pyramid and the capstone. In the gap he wrote, "The Holy Ghost," and on the capstone he wrote, "Perfect Love." From the bottom they were listed, "Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Godliness and Brotherly Kindness."
Carried To the Top On the Wings of the Eagle
Suddenly, the white eagle came swooping down low on the side of the
mountain and then up near the top again. He drew in close, nudging the
saints, encouraging them to climb higher and not to give up.I heard the eagle scream out with a natural call, and then suddenly he began to cry out in a powerful voice, "When you have climbed as high as you can, I will bear you on My wings to the top of Zion. My Bride will make it to the top; I will give her My virtues, I'll carry her the rest of the way. Even as I bore Israel out of Egypt on My wings, so will I carry you to the top of Mt. Zion."
I joined the other saints in screaming, "Great White Eagle, come and take us on Your wings."
I knew in my spirit that this would in no way constitute a short cut; we would not be able to bypass any of the lessons, preparations or impartations. This bearing up would only happen in the hour when we could not climb any higher on our own. It also spoke of an end to all of our human striving to be qualified as overcomers, and a new place where we would finally emerge totally dependent on the Lord Jesus.
I pray that we are now entering into the season of revelation that will lift us to the top of Mount Zion, and cause us to be seated with our beloved Bridegroom in His throne.

Left or Right GOD?
It’s time. Here is the Truth. Do you want to see a reprobate get
excited? Tell him that God is not Democrat or Republican. Why?
Because they want to believe. God has nothing to do with their immoral
decisions. They want you to put steam in their train that’s off the
track. There is always a point of Truth that can be deceived – a little
leaven leavens the whole lump!
But I tell you this: Liberals are lawless and anti-Christ, anti-truth and anti-moral, anti-Word. God is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, but He is conservative, meaning HIS word is the law. The truth will have no private interpretation. He makes the rules, and at the end, every knee will bow and be accountable for every decision. He will judge your heart, your motives and your choices. Did you choose him to the best of your ability or did you follow family, culture, or friends?
Everything comes down to choices. We have all made bad ones, but are you a sinking ship that no longer can choose right or wrong? Is every decision based on your opinion or on the Word of God? We stand in perilous times. Any Christian who puts his faith in the world or in himself is a reprobate on either side of the coin. If you vote for the color of a man’s skin because it is your color, you are a reprobate.
Many Christians have given themselves over to the spirit of this age by not fearing God and by their decisions. Repent. Your conscience has been seared. You live in an illusion, and if you died today, you may slip into heaven, but if you continue on your path of ignorance and apathy to truth, as you cover your unrighteous decisions in grace. Warning: You are a great candidate for the mark of the beast whether it is a symbol on your head or hand. It doesn’t matter because in your head you have already become lawless and have already received it. Repent.
The Kingdom of God is not color. Neither is it gender. It is a spiritual place from which man lives on the inside out not the outside in. We need to come out of the world but at the same time invade the world with love and truth and light.

light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole
body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee
be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
Woe to you preacher
and prophets! And you leaders who dare to stand for nothing, you are
worse! You go along with whatever will keep everyone happy. You, as
well are selling out, Reprobate! To be a Christian and to back a man or
woman who is empowered by the anti-Christ spirit makes you a reprobate.
You might not like me now, but hopefully you will thank me later. You
say, “What are you talking about?”
2 Corinthians 13:5-8 “Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye
not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be
reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear
approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as
reprobates. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the
truth.”
Truth
1) God says that only a man and woman can have sexual communion.
2) Life starts at conception.
3) God shall supply all our need not our government or its system.
4) You shall not lie.
5) You shall have no idols.
6) You shall not kill, directly or indirectly. God’s word is God’s meaning (John 1:1).

shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but
denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are
they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with
sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come
to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood
Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for
their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their’s also was.”
Creep
to your pulpits, spew their agendas for race wars, hate house of little
gods because the living God is not in the building any more. You call
yourself a Christian, but according to scripture, you are a reprobate.
When you campaign for a man or women, you are a voice. You align
yourself with the spirit behind the voice. Wake up. Get real. Praying
for our leaders does not mean following him or her. You come in
agreement with your little bumper sticker, your little motto. Guilty.
My plea is that your eyes become open. Repent. Then this next
scripture is for you!
Titus 1:13-16 “This
witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound
in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of
men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but
unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even
their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God;
but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto
every good work reprobate.”
How do you deny him by voting for
a murderer, by not standing for him when it’s hard or easy? What do
you mean? If you believe that abortion is okay and you agree with it,
you have already committed murder in your heart or you align yourself
with lawlessness and those who exalt themselves above the Word. We need
Jesus; He is our only answer. Repent. We need the voice of the Lord.
Remember: His sheep hear His voice and the voice of a stranger they
will not follow. Who are you following?In Him

Embracing the Demonic Agenda FOR Fatherlessness and AGAINST the Family
The Homosexual agenda’s drumbeat that has been sounding for years reached a crescendo this spring, the President of the United States announced his support for Marriage between Homosexuals; euphemistically called same sex marriage. Fatherlessness is it's outcome. Read the Whole Thing below.
Homosexual marriage is a satanic attack on the role of fathers in our culture. In France there is a move to neutralize gender by calling parents, Parent One, and Parent Two. This would be funny if it weren’t so insidious. When the role of being a father is replaced by two women or two men neither of whom have a clear mantle of the Father as the singular head of the home, it leads to fatherless children.. even if two undefined parents are present. This is being pushed in media. Look at the TV programs on the air, sitcoms promoting the homosexual fatherless household. When this deviation was embraced by the President.. it became a tipping point. One from which we must draw back or we will suffer another generation of fatherlessness and its tragic result. Stripping fathers out of the home has been the goal of satan for decades, to neutralize the role of the Father in the home. There have been many attacks (Johnson's war on Poverty was one), this is one more. Fatherlessness is worse now then ever and is tragically supported by vote by the very people most likely to suffer from this crisis. It is in direct opposition to the Word of God and a radical departure of 5000 years of cultural civilization norms. In the last generation we have decided we know better than a hundred generations that went before. NO, we are the generation of the deceived.
Homosexual Marriage has been part of the broader homosexual agenda embraced by Barack Obama’s presidency:
The question is NOT are these good policies. The question is are they GOD policies. I will not share every biblical passage that specifically prohibits the idea of a man having sex with another man, or a woman with a woman, much less codifying (sanctioning) the act by calling it by the sacred name of Marriage, of Husband and Wife. God reserves a BRIDE for HUSBANDS. I have a list if you want to refresh your memory. You can see them here.
If you are a practicing Christian and believe you can blatantly cast a vote for Barack Obama without any consequence spiritually you must reconsider. He is the man who publicly embraced an aberrant view of marriage and sexual deviancy by his declarations and executive orders. If you can so vote, you will need to tear several pages out of your Bible to get by this without shame for sanctioning ungodly governance.
IF you can with good conscience vote for the destruction of the God Ordained family unit that celebrates Fathers and Mothers with Children to carry out the biblical mandate to replenish the earth (which satan wants to stop by this plot) then you have a heart problem and profound spiritual blindness. I can’t tell you what that will mean in the long run, but sowing and reaping is a biblical principle. You WILL reap what you sow. God is NOT mocked. I read it in his book. You are by your choices creating the world that your children and children’s children will live in. I look back on the generation I grew up in, Free love, sex drugs and rock and roll. Look at the whirlwind we have now reaped. Do we move further down the rat hole? IF you think you can do this without damage to whatever Christian walk or ministry you have, you are deeply deceived. Ichabod is waiting to be hung around your neck spiritually. This decision carries a price.
I will NOT encourage you to Vote for Mitt Romney. I know that would be hard for many. It would be better for your Conscience to not vote at all. To refrain from pulling that lever. It would be better to pray that God will be God and the devil be shown a liar. Some evangelicals are choosing not to vote for Romney or Obama because of religious convictions regarding Romney's religion. I honor that choice.
There is a hardness of heart that Pharaoh experienced that many will experience if they vote directly against what they know to be true with a seared conscience. It will result in further hard times as pharaoh discovered. It doesn’t matter what or who has gone before or what they did or didn’t do. We have had very imperfect leaders in recent years. Obama is the question on the table.
The altar to the homosexual agenda on the high places must be torn down. The Lord is saying clearly, "Return to me, and I will heal your land". The opposite is also true, "continue to sanction open rebellion and your land will remain cursed". Many WILL make this choice and the curse will stay upon their head (land). Jesus paid the penalty to remove the curse, but returning to that curse (Like a dog to his vomit) with intention tramples that blood shed underfoot and makes his sacrifice of no account if you embrace this. Oh, you might make heaven. I hope you do. But you will have embraced the devils agenda for hell on earth for generations to come. That is a THUS SAITH THE LORD!

Homosexual Marriage has been part of the broader homosexual agenda embraced by Barack Obama’s presidency:
- In February 2011 He issued an order that suspended support of the defense of marriage act.
- In May of 2012 he openly came out in support of Homosexual Marriage. This on the heels of several actions he has taken in support of the homosexual agenda in our culture.
- In July 2011 he suspended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the military. Now openly gay people are sleeping in barracks right next to straight men and women. This is in direct opposition to a policy that prohibited just such a practice instituted by George Washington in March 1778.
- In July 2009 – The Obama administration illegally extended federal benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service and Executive Branch employees, in direction violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
- In September 2011 – The Pentagon directed that military chaplains must perform same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act if requested.

Satan ALWAYS goes after the most precious fruit
He always attacks where the greatest challenge to him will come from. He tried again and again to Kill Jesus and Moses. He will always first try to tear down that which is most noble.
People wonder why I spend so much of my intentional time in community with people who look at least in skin color so different from me (as a pale white European). I see these precious ones as God does. My eyes have been opened. This is not to say there are not others; but God called me to this.
The Devil makes his most vicious attack against those who were destined by Father to carry a nobility beyond what many comprehend. Haven't you noticed the beauty and magnificence? How handsome the noble men are? How stunning the noble women are? How they in spite of circumstance are over-comers? After centuries of oppression, after decades of abuse, after years of being kept in check by the enemy of their souls, they still are here... Waiting.
I am convinced that out of what the world seems to have relegated to otherwise, the NEXT great move of God will emerge from this Nobility. It should be a badge of Honor to carry the bloodline of what God is about to do. When walking down the street, no longer will fear be in the eyes of those they encounter... an impulse to bow by those not so marked for greatness will be powerful.
IF they only knew how set aside for greatness they were, they would walk in it. It has been the devil's scheme for centuries to make sure they never discover this truth. It goes on to this day. Deception leading to blindness is the only tool the enemy has. My precious brothers and sisters, once you KNOW the truth you will become what you were destined to become. If you continue to receive the lie, it will keep you in chains, discover the truth and it will set you FREE! Free at last, Free at last, Thank GOD you will be FREE AT LAST!! (I heard that in a vision of Heaven I had many years ago...you will sing it there, you were meant to sing it here).

Bobby Conner: Expect Great Growth! The Appearance of Church is About to Change Radically!

Expect Great Growth! The Appearance of Church is About to Change Radically!
...But First, Christlike Leaders Must Emerge
The appearance of "church" as we know it is about to change radically! True apostolic and prophetic leadership is about to emerge the leadership of Christ the King in and through His Body. The Lord is about to raise up leaders characterized by His heart, the heart of a genuine servant!
This is great news! The Spirit of God is now releasing His divinely appointed and anointed leaders. Who are these emerging leaders? Are they special people with amazing charisma, outstanding gifts and a powerful anointing? Not necessarily! The enemy wants us to believe that God only uses "special people," but nothing could be farther from Biblical truth (see 1 Corinthians 1:26).
Beloved brothers and sisters, these coming leaders are "whosoever will" – a phrase that Jesus used often to indicate our choice in the matter (see Matthew 7:24; 10:32-33; 16:25; 20:26-27; Mark 3:35; 8:34-35 KJV). In other words, each one of us could be and should be one of these emerging, appointed and anointed leaders!
Leaders With Christlike Character
We must remember that the Lord is looking for a people whose hearts
are right with Him so that He can fully support all that they are doing
(see 2 Chronicles 16:9). For this reason, the Spirit of Truth is
raising up leaders with integrity and character who will teach us the
vast difference between what is pure and what is profane (see Ezekiel 44:23).Consequently, it is crucial that we walk in uprightness if we are to ascend the hill of the Lord (see Psalm 24:3-6). As we embrace accountability, we can be trusted with more true spiritual authority. Christ Jesus instructed us: If we are faithful over little, we shall become rulers over much more (see Matthew 25:21). On the other hand, if we fail to handle small things correctly, even the small things are in danger of being removed. A true leader must be found faithful and upright in both attitude and action.
Eye-Opening Encounters
Imagine ministering with the heart of our Beloved Savior and Lord! How will our heart become like our Master's, the meek and lowly Lamb of God? This transformation must and will be supernatural.In fact, we are on the verge of awesome, life- changing encounters with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit recently spoke these words loudly in my heart: "Expect an eye-opening experience!"
In Ephesians 1:17-18, Paul the apostle prays for us to have the eyes of our hearts flooded with divine, revelatory light. At this time, the Spirit of Truth is opening the eyes of all who are truly desperate to walk in intimacy with Christ. What will our eyes see? Christ Himself! The King of Glory! And as we see Him, we'll become like Him and manifest His servant's heart.
Explosive Growth and Challenges
This new intimacy with the Lord will also result in an explosion of signs and wonders and a great harvest of souls
(see John 2:23 and John 6:1-2). Along with this great ingathering of
new Believers, however, will also come great problems, similar to what
the early Church experienced in Acts 6:1-7. As "fishers of men," we are
about to understand that, just as fish dragged in by nets are not
already cleaned and prepared, this great harvest of souls will not come
into the Kingdom cleansed from the world but with many needs and wounds,
addictions and strongholds.
Necessary Preparations!
The Church must be equipped to handle this overwhelming
growth and to minister to waves of people from many diverse backgrounds
and levels of society. Now is the time to begin making the
necessary preparations for what is ahead. As a wise person once said,
"To fail to plan is to plan to fail!" We must be prepared to minister to
this great harvest in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit, not
in our own strength, our own ideas or our own will. This supernatural harvest requires supernatural, dunamis power and agape, Christlike love. Only Heaven on earth will suffice!It is imperative that we receive from God the insights and information we need to launch to the next level. We need His wisdom, not our own. We require His direction, not our selfish ambitions and "good ideas." And we must walk in His glorious power and anointing, not our fancy programs and titles. God is preparing leadership to receive HIS heart for the people!
True Apostles and Prophets
Thankfully, in response to this explosive growth and increasing need,
God will raise up strong apostolic leadership. But first, it is
imperative that we seek a much deeper understanding and clearer
revelation of the office of the prophet and apostle. The Spirit
of God is releasing this spirit of revelation now to understand and
embrace these offices and to discover that these "titles" are more than
just labels. The apostle and prophet are divine functions of the Spirit working through anointed, appointed and chosen individuals.
Where Honor is Due
Just attaching or wearing labels will continue to foster confusion
and frustrate the emerging ministries of the apostle and the prophet.
Beloved Believers, we should feel a deep concern for how loosely these
terms have been bantered about in churches. It has been correctly stated
that we devalue our spiritual currency by using these terms so loosely.It is extremely important that the Body of Christ honor and embrace the five-fold ministries (see Ephesians 4:11-16). To be sure, God has some true apostolic ministries operating in the Church today, largely in countries where the Gospel has had an explosive impact. Apostolic leadership is necessary in regions of rapid numerical growth. Yet too often today in the American Church, we see apostolic ministry proclaimed where there is little fruit to show for it. But, thankfully, that is about to change!
Get Ready...In a Posture of Humility
Without question, we stand at the threshold of massive transition,
and our response will determine whether the transition will be smooth or
chaotic. We do not have to be rocked by the turbulence of change;
rather, if we correctly position ourselves in a posture of genuine
humility, motivated to build the Kingdom of God and not our own
ministries, we will see an outstanding move of the Spirit of God...and
supernatural growth!Just as in 2 Kings 7:1-20, we have underestimated the provisions of God for our generation. Now is the time to walk in the revealed light. We need not stumble in the darkness of religious ramblings but walk in Kingdom aims and divine purposes (see Ephesians 5:14-18). We will all be surprised by what God has in store for this end-time generation!
These are unusual days of destiny and we must arise to the challenge. God is looking for ordinary saints whose hearts are passionately burning to establish the King in His Kingdom. If we seek intimacy with our King and pray that the eyes of our heart be opened, He will establish our character and use us as anointed leaders in the great harvest ahead!
