In January of 1994, I was in a service with Carlton Pearson, at Higher Dimensions, Tulsa OK. It was the first week after the New Year.
During that time, Bishop Pearson said the Lord had warned him of a judgment coming on America. That an important sports figure would be indited of a crime and it would stain all of professional sports. That the Lord was tearing down a high place of worship of false idols.
I had no idea of what that meant. I did know it mattered. I kept it hidden in my heart. Then in June of 1994 the murder of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson occurred. O J Simpson was accused. It was a time of great division. To this day there are people of strong opinions about all this. That was part of the Judgment.
Yet that time of judgment brought important reorientation regarding the hero worship that was rampant in America. It still reverberates. The O J Simpson event has modified our perspective on "Sports Heroes"
I have often wondered if this event was the one prophesied by John Hinkle so many years before in 1992. If you despise prophecy you will think this was all coincidence, And you would be the fool who says in his heart, "There is no God".
TODAY --- Our false idols have once again been established on the thrones of people's lives. The high places have been rebuilt. You can be a passive observer of sports 24-7 on 30 different Television channels. It has consumed our nation once again.
The high priests of college football are paid salary monstrosity without as much as a whimper from those who worship them. Abuse and derailment of otherwise good young men and women on the altar of college sports, not far from Molek, has been winked at by people with a vested interest.
Lives devoted to empty pursuits of sports are now becoming the norm. These open sacrifices are part of our culture. Like willing virgins of old who were indoctrinated into believing that there was an eternal reward for being thrown alive into a volcano, those who subject themselves to this abomination are innocent deceived victims. Very little different from the young suicide bomber who for a cause straps a bomb vest to himself and is willingly destroyed.
God is now judging the evil this has become in the land. The Penn State scandal has opened a door that has the fingerprints of Father all over it. Allegations and accusations are coming faster and faster. Exposure of sin and corruption. The high places must once again be torn down. The altars destroyed, not remodeled. The Dagons are being thrown to the ground.
Certainly not every coach, not every player, not every system is corrupted. That does not take away from the fact they are a high place. A place of false worship. Our treatment of the high priests of the false religion, coaches and teams has been judged and the handwriting on the wall is clear. Sin is in the camp. Christians have touched the unclean thing.
The worship of sports has replaced the Worship of the True and Living God. Many of those who bring their offering to those pagan altars are those who would insist they are devoted to the things of God in their lives.
Double-mindedness. Spiritual Schizophrenia.
As Father tears these things out of your hands, remember, his judgments are never fair, but they are always just. When you find yourself wondering if its fair to rob this school or that of it's program, remember fairness is not a Godly Principle. Justice, Mercy, Love, Compassion, Patience, Generosity and Righteousness are the hallmarks of God's hand.
"It's not fair" is a human paradigm...and it's not Godly.
God is judging the false religion in our land. Watch him move.

The Lord is Saying, "Don't Be Offended, when it's all coming down"
Matthew24:10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. New King James
Matthew 24:10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11 And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. New Living TranslationJesus is talking about how persecutions will come. How much hatred will occur. Betrayal. Apostasy. False leaders.
There will be a time soon when we will see this. It's already at the door. Satan is using the spirit of offense to create deep divisions. When it comes, there will be deep hurts. The hurt, the offended will lash out at anyone. That will amplify the offense.
I can't publish what I see coming. It is the kind of thing that will cause riots. Collapse. Disaster.
It will come because of the spirit of offense is in the land. Last May the Spirit of Riot and Lawlessness was released. That is the precursor of what is coming.
The only way it can be avoided is if HIS PEOPLE, those called by HIS NAME will vow right now to not take offense when it comes down. That no matter what happens, they pledge to remain in love.
Take the pledge today. That you will NOT take offense...betray....hate..... or believe what the false prophets tell you, even if they have "Reverend" as a title.
Evil days are coming.

This SHOOK me...I am guilty of SIN
Young John Wesley asked his mother, "How do you define sin?"
She said what ever:
In short: Anything that empowers the flesh over the spirit, that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself.
...RAVI ZACHERIUS
She said what ever:
- Weakens your reasoning.
- Impairs your tenderness of conscience.
- Obscures your sense of God
- Takes away your relish for spiritual things
In short: Anything that empowers the flesh over the spirit, that to you becomes sin, however good it is in itself.
...RAVI ZACHERIUS
Preparation in Arabia by Os Hillman
"Nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus" (Galatians 1:17).
The apostle Paul clearly understood the call Jesus placed on his life at his conversion. He did not have to consult other men about this calling. But before he was released to begin his own mission, He went to Arabia for three years. Why did Paul have to go to Arabia for three years before he ever met another disciple of Jesus Christ?
The Scripture does not tell us plainly why Paul spent three years in Arabia. However, based upon many examples of God placing special callings on people's lives, we know it often requires a time of separation between the old life and the new life. No doubt, Paul had plenty of time to consider what had taken place in his life and time to develop an intimate knowledge and relationship with the newfound Savior. His life was about to change dramatically.
So often, when God places a call on one of His children, it requires a separation between the old life and the new life. There is a time of being away from the old in order to prepare the heart for what is coming. It can be a painful and difficult separation. Joseph was separated from his family. Jacob was sent to live with his uncle Laban. Moses was sent to the desert.
Perhaps God has placed you in your own desert period. Perhaps you cannot make sense of the situation in which you find yourself. If you press into God during this time, He will reveal the purposes He has for you. The key is pressing into Him. Seek Him with a whole heart and He will be found. God may have a special calling and message He is building in your life right now. Trust in His love for you that He will fully complete the work He has started in you.

This is not a Prophetic Post, but it Matters
TheCall Detroit Draws 30,000 Intercessors on 11-11-11
As we parked the car, we could see about 35 men, most of them black, singing “God Loves Everyone” to the tune of “We Shall Overcome” and marching with a police escort toward Ford Field.
I didn't wait to hear what they may have said or talk with any of them. I was too eager to join the prayer service inside. In fact, despite the national headlines over the Wall Street protests, no one inside seemed to notice the occupiers were there. The crowd of about 30,000 that gathered at Ford Field had a different purpose: praying for America.
TheCall Detroit feels more intense and more anointed than the gatherings I attended on the mall in Washington, D.C., in 2000 and in Nashville on 7-7-07. On Friday night, most of the lower bowl was fairly full in the home of the Detroit Lions.
TheCall was one of many prayer rallies held on 11-11-11. From a platform at Ford Field in Detroit—decorated with huge banners adorned with TheCall logo, featuring young people intently worshipping the Lord and the words “No cost. Just sacrifice.”—event leaders pointed to prayer gatherings in London, Mexico and Egypt.
Much like TheCall events in other cities, worship was central. Some music was worshipful and slow like “Show me Your Face, Lord.” Other music was worshipful and loud. Young people standing in front of the brightly lit stage danced and worshippers raised their hands in adoration of the Lord.
Interspersed by a wide variety of music, prayers were offered for Native Americans, Canadians and Mexicans. But the strongest focus was on America—getting this nation turned around.
The central figure on stage was Lou Engle, whose vision founded TheCall. “The DNA is changing in America,” he shouted in his raspy voice that is so recognizable. “People are hungering for God.”
On stage Engle was surrounded by pastors from Detroit, like Andre Butler of Word of Faith in Southfield, as well as national leaders like Mike Bickle of International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Mo., and author Francis Frangipane. Many took turns offering fiery prayers asking God's forgiveness of our national sins.
Cindy Jacobs, co-founder of Generals International who earlier had issued a prophetic word about this being a turning point for America, prayed that Canadians would forgive Americans for invading Canada in the War of 1812.
Prayers continued to alternate with music in the early hours of TheCall. Rather than sermons, leaders offered comments about abortion or racism or turning Detroit around spiritually. Engle said he believed a new “sound of worship” would come out of Detroit, the same city famous for producing the “Motown” sound.
I decided only a few days before I went that the Lord wanted me to drop everything and attend. I'm glad I was obedient.
Confession of a Christian Hedonist..I want to have FUN in Church...because God LIKES IT
God LOVES it when we ENJOY HIM.
Sunday Services can be a good time to do this. This can be when we are able to step back and watch him move as we respond to his presence. There are so many things that make some Church Services Extraordinary: When we WORSHIP for long enough to touch heaven, When we dance, run, shout, march (been a long time since we had a Jericho March), Laugh out loud, sometimes cry, prophesy, declare, cast out demons, minister deliverance, fall down, jump up, minister healing and in general refuse to be ordinary...just extraordinarily supernatural.
How did we ever get into the rut of 3 songs, a sermon (not too long now), announcements, a written or (ROTE) prayer, an offering and off you go --- all in under 55 minutes? No wonder our churches are emptying out.
Let's GET REAL!
It's time to start ENJOYING Church

Vision of a Sword, Keys and a Champagne Bottle from Geoff Pick
We are in a process of transitioning from the predominance of organized religion to apostolic prophetic anointed leadership - From Saul to David. The old order of church and traditions and is over and the new fresh Holy Spirit led army of heaven will come to the fore.
...
The Sword
An advanced arsenal of heaven’s weaponry is ready for the body of Christ to bring about this new season of victory. This armory is not about well-tried methods or techniques, but unique one-time-use battle strategies. The enemy will be as unprepared and disarmed, as he was in the Jericho battle. The walls fell as soldiers obeyed God in faith and used previously untested methods of warfare.
The weapons are not based on man’s wisdom, skills, experience, track record, method or techniques, but on the specific and absolute obedience to the commander of the army of heaven and his direction.
We are transitioning from the predominance of organized religion to apostolic anointed leadership - From Saul to David.
Hearing and obeying the Holy Spirit will bring victory over the darkness, where man’s methods and strategies have failed.
Some may ask the question; “What are the weapons and new ways that we will use in the future?”
Well that’s the old way of thinking – and it’s missing the point; each weapon is given by God to tackle a battle. These are not techniques or methods to be applied, but heaven sent strategies and actions that come as commands from heaven.
Prior to the time of the Kings – government by man with or without God – Israel was led by God called prophetic judges. Before the creation of the temple – Israel followed heaven sent fire and smoke. While King’s appointed generals over their armies, the Joshua’s and judges met with the Lord and His angels, before heading into battle under a divine battle plan.
Some victories will come about by special individual initiatives that God anoints, through those ones and twos that are walking in faith with Him. These will bring victories that will be outside any natural expectation of realistic possibilities. This will be like two putting ten thousand to flight.
While others will involve sections of the body of Christ moving together under anointed leaders given to fulfill a specific task.
...
Keys
Prophetic keys will release and unlock what has long remained closed. Unlocking the doors, breaking the dams, unstopping the wells that the enemy has erected. Nothing is impossible when the key to the door that no man can shut is used, by one chosen and walking in obedience to God. Receiving the specific keys for the next door in the timing of God’s purpose will enable the saints to walk into impossible situations with the right formula for the hour.
There are many keys. Some that will open up new levels of divine healing power, which will result in unprecedented healings taking place outside the usual contexts. Some will pioneer specific healing anointing that will be recognized as totally effective over certain diseases without great faith being exercised by the recipients. These healings will be signs to unbelievers and encouragement to the flock of God of the reality the power Living God. Groups of healers will descend and stir up towns and cities with Acts of the Apostles impact.
Evangelists will move in new models on the streets, not as preachers on platforms, but as carriers of the spirit of repentance and salvation. Personal evangelists will find words spoken forth from their mouths that will resonate with the unbeliever causing a readiness to receive salvation without deliberation or delay. Prayer will bathe these efforts and wells of generations long ago will be like bowls tipped over poured out intercession.
Tried prophets will speak forth the steps God is calling the church into; opening up the exciting Christian life that will capture our imagination and hearts uniting both the new generation and old.
Worship leaders will find a deeper release to lead others before God’s throne by obeying the Holy Spirit and moving as He directs. They will bow before the Holy One of heaven and invite His presence to fill the place. Music and song with take back stage. Man’s effort will bow to the heavenly sound as the worship on earth transforms the atmosphere to the tunes from heaven.
...
Champagne bottle
Saints who have waited on the fulfillment of words that have long been matured and held in reserve are ready to see these hidden vessels uncorked.
The feast is ready the heavenly food is prepared a table is set before us it is time now for the dreams to become reality.
This champagne will bring the release untapped individual callings as long-held prophetic promises from God are stepped into. Those who have held on patiently need to shift gear out of idle neutrality in readiness to move forward into battle. Rather than sitting patiently now is the time to sit on the edge of the seat, or pace up and down praying in expectation of the manifestation of the inheritance. Not by human effort, but in catching the timing of heaven, preparation continues hidden as underground storage, and co-operation with God.
Some will be given a long awaited word that the time to be released into ministry has come.
Prophetic keys – One of the vital keys is the key to wardrobe
One of the keys being released is the key to the wardrobe of heavenly garments.
The people of God will be able to take on new robes (roles) as God bestows his mantles upon them and then switch into another, like colors changing as they are reflected.
No more limitation to apparent specific gift identity.
The wardrobe releases garments of grace to be part of the feast of the bridegroom enjoying intimacy with the King of Kings and walking in Kingdom authority. Knowing our identity and equipping in Him brings effectiveness in ministry.
Many mantles given to past generations were never picked. There are callings and much revelation that has been released long ago that have yet to be fully taken up by individuals who were first called to pioneer these ministries.

Isaiah 59:17
New King James Version (NKJV)
For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak.
