I AM RAISING UP MY PROPHETS TO CALL FORTH RIGHTEOUSNESS INTO THE EARTH
Prophecies by Shirley Lise (riverpub@sgci.com)
If you could understand that I am a faithful father, you would not struggle to believe that I have, indeed, moved mountains on your behalf, that I have volunteered My assistance in this day of My power.
Giant steps are being made in the realm of the Spirit to take back what has been stolen. Soon you will see the manifestation in the natural realm. Mountains are moving, and impossibilities are being turned into potential opportunity. Never has there been a day like this!
Rejoice, for I have seen your obedience to walk with Me despite the attempts of the enemy to try to disqualify you from the race. Do not listen to those who have no understanding of who I am. Their eyes are blinded and their ears are dull. They neither see nor hear. They are blind men leading the blind.
But I have opened your eyes and given you understanding of the work I am doing to raise up My spokespersons, My prophets, who will speak forth My word and share the message of hope with all who would hear. These are not the ones who submit themselves to the wiles of the enemy, but who have discerned the spirit behind those who work iniquity.
These are ones who will expose the wicked and call forth righteousness into the Earth. I have posted them into position to ward off the attacks upon My Beloved. These are the "eyes" of the Body who are able to discern wickedness in high places. Their mandate is to call down the high places and speak the word of truth into the lives of those who are able to hear. Do not be fooled by the external appearance of men, for many are cloaked in sheep's clothing who are ravenous wolves seeking to capture the sheep and hold them hostage. Yet I have made provision for those who would hearken to My counsel, to be set free from their hold.
The voice of My faithful servants shall be heard throughout the land. It shall ring out loud and clear and strike with such force as to break the powers of those that bind. It shall strike as lightning in the midst of the people to expose all that has been hidden and to break apart the unholy alliances formed against My Elect. My lightning shall strike with such force that those who have held My people bound shall tremble with fear.
I have come to disable the schemes of men and to put asunder that which has been established by the hands of men. The fury of My counsel shall expose the kingdoms of men and dismantle the structure that has held the people captive.
I am raising up My true worshippers who will lead the people out of the hands of men and into the counsel of the Lord. I am positioning My songsters to bring a fresh new song into the assembly of the Elect. Those who have come out from among men and have overcome the powers of darkness that have been at work in the midst of the people, shall be radiant.
Their song shall speak of the victory of the Lord to lead His people out of the hands of Pharaoh through the Red Sea on dry ground, and to drown Pharaoh's armies in the waters that close in around them. These shall dance and sing as Miriam did and an altar of remembrance shall be constructed in the midst of the people to commemorate their deliverance by the mighty hand of God.
I SHALL RELEASE A WAVE OF JUDGMENT THAT WILL CAUSE THE ERRING TO SEEK MY COUNSEL
I shall rescue the perishing and send My light to draw the people unto Me. My counselors are being put into position. They shall be a beacon in the darkness and a lighthouse to the erring. Their doors shall be open to receive those who would come to receive the word of the Lord.
Press in, press on. Be confident that the work of the Lord is in progress, that the army of the Lord has been raised up in this day to sweep across the land and bring in the wandering, the strays, and the lost sheep who have fallen into the hands of wicked men.
The ministry of Christ shall be clearly discerned. I am giving clear direction and putting those of My choosing into positions of authority. I am positioning those who will counsel into place. The truth of My word shall be revealed to these who have learned to hear My voice and been willing to leave the status quo to be trained by My wisdom. They have been prepared for the work in the wilderness and are now emerging to take their place of authority.
Broaden your perspective to see as I see. I will advance My kingdom in the Earth. I will draft up the constitution and put My government in place. A great divide between the world's system and the economics of the Lord will be ushered in and the demarcation between the righteous and the wicked will be seen by all. I will send My angels out and they shall gather up what belongs to Me, but that which is of the enemy shall be thrown into the fire of My wrath.
Mark My words. Soon the trumpet shall sound and those who are Mine shall rise up in power, no longer kept silent, but released to call forth the promises of God into the Earth. Counsel and judgement belong to Me and I shall release a wave of judgment that will cause the erring to seek My counsel and not that of the world.
COME UNTO ME AND INTO THE PLACE OF REST
Bask in My presence. Come to Me on a regular basis. Do not let a day go by when you have not met with Me. I am your source of life, of everything you need. Haven't I taught you this well? Haven't I taken you through the dry places and through the wilderness to teach you total dependence on Me?
You know that the enemy crouches at the door ready to pounce on you and redirect your attention. But I tell you this day, it is vitally important that you do not give way to the enemy and that you do not neglect to come before Me in the Secret Place, for this is the place where you will find rest for your soul. And this is the place where you will be made whole and where you will be equipped for the work I have destined you to.
Do not look to another. Do not go to those places where you think you will receive more and a greater understanding. All good gifts come from the Father above. All those things that you seek are in Me, so come to Me, and let Me impart life and liberty to your spirit. Let Me strengthen you so that you are able to stand against the ploys of the enemy. Let Me guide you and teach you and lead you into all truth.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Come to Me and I will minister My life into you and you will become a tree planted by rivers of water, strong and unbendable. Though there are many temptations to look else where, do not give in to them, but oppose them. Do not waver in hope, but put hope in Me alone and you will not be disappointed.
I am raising up a strong battalion who will war against the status quo. How can you war against that which you indulge in? Can you not see that I have come to change things, that I have come to overthrow the kingdoms built by men, that I will no longer tolerate the counsel of men who masquerade as though from Me? Unless a man comes directly to Me to receive wisdom and understanding, he has no choice but to function in the wisdom and understanding of the human nature.
I said I would pour out My power in this day, but it will only come upon those who spend time with Me, who are intimate with Me, who know My heartbeat for the nations in this day, and who have come out of the world's systems to follow after Me. Do not think that I can use the wisdom of men to accomplish My purposes. Man's wisdom is foolishness in My eyes, therefore it is imperative that those who would enter into the full measure of My Spirit in this day come unto Me and let Me impart to them wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
This is a critical time in the lives of My people. Only those who know their God intimately will do great exploits for their King. So come unto Me, spend time at My feet, and do not neglect My offer to be changed, healed, and delivered from every affliction in the place of rest.

PROPHETIC BULLETIN: THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND
By Rick Joyner (www.morningstarministries.org)
I was praying about our upcoming Harvest Fest Conference, when a trumpet appeared in front of me, turned, and was blown right in my face. I knew immediately that this is what the Lord is about to do—the church will soon receive an “in your face” message from heaven.
In the military, as in biblical times, different trumpet sounds mean different things. When entering military service, one of the first things taught is how to distinguish the commands given by the trumpet or bugle. This is why Paul wrote in I Corinthians 14:8, “For if the bugle produces an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?” What is the message we are about to hear?
When I saw the trumpet appear in front of me and then blown in my face, immediately I knew what the message was because of something which happened to me when I was in the military. Normally, reveille, the call to wake up, was played over the loud speakers in the barracks. However, if someone did not wake up to reveille when it was played over the speakers, a more drastic measure was taken. They brought a trumpet in and blew it right in your face! This seldom had to be done more than once to a recruit. When this happened, not only did you awake faster and more completely than ever before, but from that day on you were especially keen to hear and respond to the sound of any trumpet call. When I saw the trumpet about to be blown directly in my face, I felt we were about to receive just such an “in your face” wake up call, one which we would not soon forget.
We see repeatedly in Scripture, especially in the book of Revelation, that a trumpet will sound from heaven before the great events at the end. One is about to sound. This trumpet blast is intended to awaken us to prepare for the great event which is to follow. We are on the verge of something very significant. Even though I saw this while praying for the Harvest Fest Conference, this does not necessarily mean it will come then, but I am praying earnestly that it will.
My prayer is that this trumpet call would come as an anointed message which will wake us up, and not another major tragedy. Either way, the church is desperate for a clear trumpet call—a clear message from above. We cannot waste any more time sleeping or drifting about without clear direction. We must devote ourselves and prepare for what is to come with clear vision and strategy.
“Fall In”
A rude awakening is coming so that we do not miss the coming “Great Awakening.” Like the Navy did for those who did not hear reveille through the speakers, the Lord has been sounding His trumpet through many different “speakers.” Very few are in fact responding to them, so more drastic measures are going to be used. This is grace from God. We will wake up.
Much of the church presently lives in a state which ranges from lukewarmness to a deep spiritual slumber. As the Lord warned in Revelation 3:16, lukewarmness is the worst state a Christian could ever fall into. Many, who are at least to some degree awake, do not know what time it is. The Lord is going to graciously sound an alarm that will wake us up, and declare the time to us as well.
I was also told that in recent times Christians have found just about every way there is to fall, but now we are going to learn to fall into line. After this spiritual reveille, there will be another call to muster into ranks. In the future the church is going to begin looking far more like the military than the social club it has often been. There is a reason why the most common title of God used in Scripture, which is used more than ten times as much as all of the others combined, is “the Lord of hosts,” (I Samuel 1:3) or “the Lord of armies.” The great mobilization is now, and the most intense training and discipline are coming for those who respond to the Lord’s trumpet call.
Knowing the Times
After the 9/11 attacks, people poured into churches like never before in our history. Then, several weeks later, fewer people attended church than before the attacks because they did not find the church or its message relevant to the times. However, God and those who are awake and staying close to Him will know the times. Those who are faithful seekers will soon experience a great increase of words of knowledge, words of wisdom, and prophecy to keep us ahead of the times.
In Matthew 16:2-3, the Lord rebuked the people for knowing how to discern the weather, but not knowing the signs of the times. When the Lord used such metaphors it was because there was a relationship. Discerning the signs of the times is actually similar to understanding weather. As a professional pilot I had to learn how to discern the weather because my life depended on it. We are likewise coming to the point when our lives will depend upon our knowing the times.
One thing I learned early in my flying career was that I could not rely on the professional weather forecasters if I was going to be a safe pilot. I was certainly thankful for the professional meteorologists who gave themselves to knowing the present conditions and making forecasts, but I had to know the weather myself and I had to be able to foresee conditions which the professional weather forecasters might not see from their remote offices. This is true for Christians as well. We should be thankful for those who are devoting themselves to knowing the times and we should listen to them. However, this does not negate our personal responsibility to know the times, and to know what the Lord is saying to us personally.
For a weather forecaster, the penalty for getting a forecast wrong was a bit of humiliation. For the pilots, who understand that the majority of aircraft accidents are weather related, the stakes are much higher. I therefore determined that I was going to know weather better than the professional fore-casters. I studied relentlessly, constantly making my own observations, and talking to every experienced pilot or meteorologist that I could. My goal was to never be surprised by the weather conditions which I found en route or at my destination. We need to have this same goal for understanding the times.
After a few years of flying professionally, I was so good at knowing the weather that I was rarely surprised by it on a flight. Now I want to know the signs of the times so well that I am never surprised by what comes. At this time I am still far from this goal, but I am resolved to keep getting better. One of the ways I am pursuing this is by getting closer to those with the same devotion. I know the Lord would not have rebuked us for this if it were not possible to know the signs of the times better than we know the weather.
People still make jokes about the weather forecasters, but the truth is that in the thirty years that I have been involved in aviation, weather forecasters have become amazingly accurate. It used to be rare for them to be accurate, but now it is rare for them to miss. Even so, I am amazed at how many people, especially among the older generation, have a perception that weather forecasters are wrong most of the time. This is definitely no longer the case. I have watched with curiosity as some of these people seized a single missed forecast to re-enforce their opinion, not seeming to regard at all the overwhelming majority of amazingly accurate forecasts.
The same is happening to the church’s prophetic ministry. It too is moving from a place of being a laughingstock to becoming increasingly accurate. It will continue to do so until we rarely hear of a miss. Even so, the perception of many, especially among the older generation, will be that it is rarely accurate even when the reverse is true. This can be discouraging, but we must not let it be. We just have to keep getting better at knowing the Lord’s voice. We also need to view every mistake as an opportunity to learn, and to humble ourselves knowing that the Lord gives His grace to the humble. We are going to need much more grace for what is to come.
The Great Warning
One of the Lord’s primary warnings through His teachings when He walked the earth was about being asleep when we should have been awake. From those who were not ready for the wedding feast to those who did not have oil in their lamps, sleeping when they should have been awake resulted in terrible spiritual tragedies. These were warnings for us. Sleeping when we should have been awake has already been more devastating to the church than possibly all of the sin and other deceptions combined. It will be even more so in the future.
We must wake up and learn to be alert watchmen. We must learn to see, and discern what we see. Ministries over the last decade such as: The Watch of the Lord, started by Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda in Charlotte, The International House of Prayer, started by Mike Bickle in Kansas City, The House of Prayer for All Nations, started by Tom Hess in Jerusalem, and many others are devoted to twenty-four hour prayer and prophetic watching. They have been sent by the Lord to help prepare the church for the times. All of these are helping people learn to be disciplined in their sleep, and to learn to watch even when they are tired.
Those who are awake and know how to see may continue to be ridiculed by the generation which is passing, but they will soon be greatly sought after by the nations. God is the answer to every human problem. All of our problems are rooted in mankind trying to do what God created us to do, but without Him. The end of this age is approaching and will demonstrate for eternity the consequences of trying to live without God. In contrast to this, the church that knows and walks with God is going to have both the wisdom and the power to overcome any problem or opposition. The world is going to see this demonstrated.
The King Is Coming
The contrast between the kingdoms of men that are collapsing and the kingdom of God which is arising will become increasingly distinct. This is the fulfillment of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about the statue which represented his and the future kingdoms of men being struck by a little stone that grew into a mountain, and then kept growing until it filled the earth. That little stone was Jesus, and the mountain is His kingdom, which is even now growing upon the earth. As we are told in Daniel 2:44-45:
“And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom will not be left for another people; it will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself endure forever.
“Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the future; so the dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”
Those who are a part of the kingdom of God will be mobilizing and coming into increasing order, while those who are building their lives on the kingdoms of this present world will fall into increasing chaos. As one of the great wake-up calls in Scripture, Isaiah 60:1-3 declares:
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you.
“For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.
“Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
As these verses make clear, at the very time when darkness is increasing in the world, and deep darkness covering the peoples, the Lord’s glory will appear on His people, and this will cause the nations to come to us. For years I have quoted this Scripture probably more than any other because it is one of which I am constantly being reminded. We really are coming to this time.
This is why we are also told in Proverbs 4:18: “But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day.” If our lives are not filled with increasing light that is getting brighter and brighter, and our way becoming more and more clear, then we have somehow missed the path. The call which is coming is going to help all who call on the name of the Lord to get back on the path of life.
Don’t Sleep on Your Watch
However, those who respond to the coming wake-up call, and again hit the “snooze button” to go back to sleep, their next wake-up will come with the enemy’s gun in their face. When the church is awake and watching, the enemy will be restrained. When we sleep the thief will come, he will enter our house, and he will not only steal, but he will kill and destroy.
I have received this warning for years, and given it often—if the church in the West does not wake up, we will very soon be fighting the enemy in our own house, or on our own soil. You may contend that 9/11 is evidence we are already doing that, but that was just a foretaste of what is coming if we continue to sleep on our watch. We have entered the times when we can never again go to sleep spiritually without paying a terrible price.
The church is called to be a watchman for the nations. Even if the world is asleep, we must be awake and alert. If you were caught sleeping on watch while in the military, the penalty was most severe. If you were caught sleeping on watch during wartime, the penalty could be death. This was a just penalty because if you slept on watch, you were not only risking your own life, but the lives of your fellow soldiers, and possibly even jeopardizing your country. We are entering the time of the greatest conflict between light and darkness—the ultimate battle between good and evil. For the church to continue sleeping during these times will be a similar criminal act which will result in increasingly severe penalties.
The Four Steps
There are four basic steps to making an effective soldier. The first is mobilization. After gathering those who are being mobilized, you must then train them to fight. Only after training are they equipped, or given their weapons. Then they must be deployed, or sent to their units for duty in the Army.
The church has been given “divinely powerful weapons” for destruction of the enemy’s strongholds. Though it may now seem that few really have them, or are using these weapons, the church which is obedient to the Lord, knowing His voice, and having been effectively trained, is going to be given great power. I recently went through a period when I was given a prophetic dream every night for nearly three weeks. Many of these dreams continued the same theme; we are going to see John 14:12 fulfilled:
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”
In one dream I was shown that we would move literal mountains just as the Lord said in Matthew 17:20, “...if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible to you” (NIV). I was told that this must be done to verify the Lord’s Word that it could be done. We are coming to the times when the greatest miracles the world has ever seen will be witnessed. However, we must never forget that this power is given to witness to the truth, which we have been given to preach.
When even the greatest miracles are done on the earth, the angels are bored. They saw the Lord create the universe, and they see Him upholding it with His Word. His Word is the foundation of power, and those who are the strongest in His Word will ultimately be those who are trusted with the most power. Healing, miracles, and prophecy are crucial elements of true church life, but we must never forget that the most powerful weapon that we have been given is the truth.
The Third Day
The Scripture I was given when I saw the trumpet blown in my face was Exodus 19:16-19:
So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.
And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with thunder.
That this happened on the morning of the third day was no accident. As II Peter 3:8 declares, “But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” If we added the genealogies of Scripture, it has been about six thousand years since Adam was created. If we see each one thousand years as a day, as Peter indicated, we are coming to the end of the sixth prophetic day, and the third prophetic day of the church age.
In the writings of the early church fathers, it seems that this timetable was commonly understood. It was believed that when the apostles of the early church talked about being “in the last days” (Acts 2:17) it was in reference to being in the last days of the prophetic week. The Lord Jesus called Himself “the Lord of the Sabbath,” (Matthew 12:8) or the Lord of the seventh day, because that will be His one thousand year reign on the earth.
In his extensive letter, Barnabas wrote, “And elsewhere he saith; If thy children shall keep my sabbaths, then will I put my mercy upon them. And even in the beginning of the creation he makes mention of the sabbath. And God made in six days the works of his hands; and he finished them on the seventh day, and he rested the seventh day, and sanctified it. Consider, my children, what that signifies, he finished them in six days. The meaning of it is this; that in six thousand years the Lord God will bring all things to an end. For with him one day is a thousand years; and himself testifieth, saying, “Behold this day shall be as a thousand years. Therefore, children, in six days, that is, in six thousand years, shall all things be accomplished (15:2-5).
As described in the text from Exodus 19, we are coming to the time when the Lord is going to again descend on His mountain, His government (the rock that became a mountain). This is going to begin with “a very loud trumpet sound.” It will cause all who are in His camp to tremble. We need to be shaken with the understanding of the awesome God we serve. If we are shaken with that understanding, we will receive and build our lives on the kingdom which cannot be shaken.
The Lord is then going to descend upon His mountain with fire, and all of His messengers will be flames of fire. This fire is coming to consume the “wood, hay and stubble,” (I Corinthians 3:12) and purify “the gold, silver and precious stones.” What is our life presently composed of? It is time to wake up and examine ourselves so that we are ready for the times for which we were born.

MOVING INTO HIS GLORIES - PROPHECIES BY SHIRLEY LISE
I AM REVIVING THE HEARTS OF THOSE THAT HAVE GROWN COLD
By Shirley Lise (riverpub@sgci.com)
Be encouraged that I am near, that I will never leave you. Do not think that I have led you all these years and now have abandoned you to die in the wilderness. I have been working on your behalf. You will see the changes I have made. They will become apparent, even in those things set before you that seem insignificant, have I moved mountains on your behalf.
I have given you My word. I have entrusted it to you, so rejoice in knowing that I have been faithful to you through all the trials and tests, that I have made My ways and wants known to you, that I have shared My very heart with you. Do not be concerned about those things that transpire around you. They are only "surface" issues. The greater issues are the issues of the heart, and it is these that I have been working on.
You will see dramatic change in the lives of those round about you. You will see that I have been moving according to My heart's desire to raise up a generation that does not fit the mold of "traditional Christianity" but bears My heart and is a witness to My power at work to set at liberty those who put their trust in Me.
This is the day of revival, for I am reviving the hearts of those that have grown cold. I am setting at liberty those who have been bound up in the traditions of men and releasing those held captive by the work of the enemy. I am making a display of My ability to raise up the lowly and to level to the ground those things that have been exalted.
I am bringing all things into order. Even those who have been far off are being drawn near by the power of My Spirit at work. And I will heal all their wounds and refresh their Spirits, for the work of the enemy has lost its hold and the offspring of My faithful ones are coming into their rightful pace as heirs of the kingdom. I will build My kingdom in the hearts of these and there shall be demonstrations of My power at work in their lives.
No, I have not left you, but I have called you out of the ways of men and into the way of Truth, so be steadfast in what I have spoken to you and do not waver, for soon you will see evidence of the move of My spirit in the lives of those who are being brought into the kingdom, a fearless generation who will not be held back by the hands of men, but who will march forth to the beat of a different drum, the heartbeat of the Heavenly Father.
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH
I am raising up an ensign, a sign of My coming. I am putting on display those who are Mine. I am moving throughout the land to dethrone kings and exalt a standard of holiness in the midst of My people. Do not be fooled. I am not standing still, but continually moving things forward and I am announcing the next move of My Spirit to those who have ears to hear.
I am stripping apart structures made by the hands of men and implementing My heartbeat within My Bride, so you see that what I am building in this day does not resemble that which dots the lands.
I am reaching deep within the hearts of My people and pulling up the tares. I will completely transform the lives of those who call out to Me. You ask for a precedent in the scriptures? I tell you that I have longed for this day when I shall build by My own hands and the hands and thoughts of men will not prevail!
I am birthing forth My kingdom in the hearts of men. This is the building I am building in this day. It is not an external building that ushers in the people, but an internal building whereby lives are fully transformed from a lifeless entity into a powerhouse of the Lord.
I do not dwell in temples made by the hands of men, but I dwell within the hearts of men. This is the mystery I am releasing in this day to those who fully seek Me. I will reveal to them things which have been hidden from the worldly wise but given to those whose hearts have longed for My return. To these I shall reveal the kingdom.
So understand that the buildings of men are no longer effective to bring men into the fullness of understanding, but only an open heart, willing to receive of Me in the Secret Place, for I look at the heart and not on the outward appearance and I build within a heart.
Come into understanding in this day. Understand that all things in this life are passing away, but what I build will last forever. The houses you build will come tumbling down in the last day, for I shall destroy the works of men, but those who truly are Mine will be called away into the Secret Place to be changed. These are the ones I will build into. These are the ones who will labor in the harvest fields to bring in a great harvest. These are the ones who will lead the people into the throne room of the living God.
Who will build a house for Me? No one! I am the builder and I will build My church, a beautiful Bride prepared for her Bridegroom.
MY GLORY IS COMING, SO BE READY
"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end..." Daniel 12:4
"And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. "Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." Daniel 12:9-10
Have you not felt the change? Do you not see that what was, is no more? Can you understand that a shift has taken place, that I have moved My faithful ones on and out of the old and into the new day? I have rescued you from the wiles of the devil and from the hands of men. I have taken you out of the grips of human understanding and into the realm of My glory.
No longer will those who call themselves by My name languish between two opposites. You will either choose to follow the Lord or to follow the dictates of men. Once the choice is made, it will be difficult to change direction, so choose this day whom you will serve.
My glory is coming, so be ready to receive. It is time for those who put their trust in Me to rise up in resurrection power, declaring the mystery of God unfurled. It is time for the release of those who have been held back by ungodly men, into the full revelation of Jesus Christ. It is time for the seal to be broken and all that has remained hidden to be brought out into the open.
It is time, the day and the hour, when I shall appear unto men, so do not be pulled down and tied up, but be released to move into My glory and joy unspeakable. Be ready to be supernaturally positioned for abundant blessing, for I am pouring out My abundance upon those who have died to self and been made ready.
The end is near, so near. You will see the signs of My coming, for they shall be made evident to all.
I AM MOVING MY OWN INTO THE FULL-SCOPE OF THE MINISTRY OF CHRIST
Jurisdiction, I am giving you jurisdiction over a wide area. You will see that I have created within you the capacity to receive of Me everything I want to pour out in this day. You will see that I have taught you well to hear My voice and to recognize that I am the One who has equipped you. Though many try to limit you in your scope of influence, you will find that I am breaking through to overthrow the schemes of men.
You will notice a new boldness rise up in you and that no intimidator is able to move you. You will see that I have firmly planted your feet upon the Rock and you are immovable. This is a work I have accomplished in you because you have been willing to let Me do in you what needed to be done.
I am on the move to establish My Own into the full-scope of the ministry of Christ and I am pulling out the plugs, all blockages, so that the waters of My Spirit are able to flow unhindered.
A clean, healthy flow of My Spirit is being released into the lives of those faithful to proclaim My purposes. I am increasing the strength of the flow to extend past boundaries set even in the minds of those who follow Me, for I truly am raising up an army that shall bring down the high places and raise up the low and prepare the way of the Lord's return.
Yesteryear is gone. Today is a new day and all things are being brought into fullness.

PROPHECIES FROM GODSPEAK - www.GodSpeak.org
MY WORDS
by Teresa Seputis (teresa@godspeak.org)
My words are words of power and of life. My words are words of encouragement. The enemy desires for your heart to be heavy and full of fear. I desire for your joy to be full and for you to be full of faith. And the personal and corporate words that I release through My servants, the prophets, are to be words of life and encouragement. My words are words of liberty and the setting free of those who Satan holds in captivity. My words are words of hope and of a future.
There are types of false prophesy running amuck in the church today, and this is a cause of sorrow and anger for Me. There are those who speak and release words of condemnation because they speak from a critical and judgmental spirit. They release words that have no hope, that offer no road of repentance and restitution. That is not My way, for I came that all men might have life, that they might believe and repent and be saved. I have died that man may have life. Therefore, I do not speak words of destruction and condemnation and judgment over whole nations -- I speak words of invitation and words of life, desiring that they might turn to Me and be saved.
There is not a nation on the face of this earth that is so holy before Me to the point where there is no room for correction or rebuke. But this is not yet the season where man has been sealed in his sin, the mark of the anti-christ has not been taken and very few are reprobate in their evil ways and unable to repent. So the words that I release to nations are words of invitation and words of hope. For I desire that all men would turn from their sin and run to Me that they may be saved. I offer them a hope and a future.
There is another type of false prophesy going forth that says that man may live for themselves and their own plans, that they can seek material gain and wealth and comfort, so long as they do right and attend My house of worship. Child of Mine, this is fallacy. I require all of you and I require a place of absolute lordship in your life. I expect you to obey Me because you love Me. I expect you to follow the example I laid forth when I walked on this earth as a man -- even as I saw what the Father was doing and did only that, so you are to see what I am doing and do only that. You are to lay down your agendas and your priorities to embrace and obey Mine. I must be Lord and you must have a heart to obey Me and you must do whatever I tell you to do. If you are called by My name, you are to be My servant.
I do not release the prophetic to promise you a bigger house or a more expensive car, I release the prophetic to build you up in kingdom things, to cause your faith to grow, to make your heart pure before Me. A form of materialism has crept into the prophetic, but that is not of Me. It is true that I am a rewarder of My faithful servants. There are times when My rewards are material. But the rewards I most often release are joy and victory and power and anointing upon a person's life, peace in their hearts and favor with others. I desire to bring you to maturity in Me, not to make you fat and comfortable and lazy in this life.
Do not misunderstand, there are those servants of Mine that I prosper materially for My kingdom purposes -- ones that I have called to be apostles and pastors and evangelists in the business world, ones that I have prospered materially that they might be positioned to be My witnesses. These ones are not distracted by the material gain, rather they are focused on My kingdom purposes and they look to Me and they take their direction from Me. I am not saying that you cannot be a Christian and be successful by the world's standards. Rather I am saying that your motivations must be kingdom motivations. You must seek the true riches of My kingdom and not the material riches of this kingdom. Your heart and motivation must be to serve and obey Me, not to increase your material possessions and your place of prominence and status among men.
So, you ask, what type of words am I releasing in this day and season? I am releasing words of life. I am releasing words that build up My body that each member may come to the full stature of maturity in Me. I am releasing words of hope and words of comfort. I am releasing words of vision. I desire that each of My servants knows the vision and calling that I have placed before them that they might walk in it. I am prophetically calling forth giftings that I have placed within My servants. And I am releasing anointings upon them that they might do My kingdom business and accomplish My kingdom purposes. I am calling My people to deeper levels of commitment and intimacy with Me, and I am empowering them to walk in it. I am releasing words of healing and words of restoration. I am releasing words of edification and exhortation and comfort to men, that the church might be built up and that the lost might be saved.
RELEASERS OF LIFE
by James Donovan (JDono78832@aol.com)
This is the day, time and season for My servants, the prophets, flow in My anointing. I have called you to speak forth My oracles and be releasers of My spirit on this earth.
As you flow in My anointing My boldness you shall see My people set free to flow in My anointing, My boldness, My authority, I am leading My people to strengthen and encourage by My words of Life. I am the way, the truth, the life as My people flow in Me. They shall arise and be free to worship Me. They shall have freedom and liberty in their spirit man. So arise and flow in My anointing, My liberty, My freedom and the leading of My voice and you shall see the captives set free. You shall see mountains of doubt and sorrow and hopelessness disappear. You shall see a abundance of My rain, My glory releasing the captives as you are obedient to My voice.
So arise and go forth be bearers of My good news, release the prisoners to flow in Me. Arise and be releasers of truth and life for those in darkness. You shall see My light reign over darkness.
WORDS OF FIRE
by Jane Larsen (jlarsen65@hotmail.com)
Open your mouth and speak for I will bless the words of your mouth and you will speak with words of fire. Words that will burn down the threats of the enemy, that will burn down the strongholds and the places he has stolen from My people. Words that will smolder the darts of the enemy. I will bless the thoughts of your mind and fill you with wisdom in all things, so that you know the way to go and you go that way.
Speak and see. It is not only you that I bless, but all those that surround My throne. Words of fire with power will come forth and you shall speak in victory. Remember the power of My word. Remember that in the beginning I saw darkness yet I spoke light. And there was light. Words of power and words of healing are coming from you. Speak them out loud and do not flee, for My strength is within you, My hand guides you.
A TIME OF PREPARATION
by Shirley Craft (sjcraft@truevine.net)
For those who have felt they have been sitting on the shelf, feeling isolated, useless and forgotten and even may feel disoriented--I say "NOT SO"! This has been a time of seasoning, a time of preparation, a time of learning to wait on Me, increasing in faith, patience and endurance.
This has been a time of hiddeness, a time of reflection, a time of testing, a time of letting go, a time of change. This past season has been hard for many of My people. Many felt like this wilderness season would never end. But I say 'The time for moving out of this place is now.' It has been a time of many consecutive and simultaneous changes -- some of which have been painful but necessary.
It has been a time of "DO" Season, a time of "DUE" Season and now it is time for "DEW" Season. The "DO" is our cooperation with God. The "DUE" is what we owe God -- our love, affections, loyalty and allegiance to Him and to change as much as is required -- which is our whole duty. The "DEW" is the Holy Spirit being poured into our lives. To each one the "Do", "Due" and "Dew" will take on different meanings, different positions and transitions, and different anointings. However, each one will fit perfectly with each other in the tapestry of God's kingdom and the battle at hand in finishing the gospel commission.
Don't get distracted by what is occurring around you. Stay focused, stay alert, stay close to Me, put on the whole armor of God, and stay in My word. Seek Me more then ever before; the enemy has planned many snares in this next season.
Get ready to be thrust out on the front lines. This is your time. No more delays -- it is time to BREAK THROUGH! I Am right beside you to empower you, but only you can break through. I open the door to your destiny but you must walk through and take your position.
TRUST IS NOT AN EMOTION
by Teresa Seputis (Teresa@godspeak.org)
Child of Mine, I am asking you to trust Me and I expect you to place your trust fully and squarely in Me. Many of My children do not understand what trust is. Trust is not an emotion. Yes, it is true that I give you My Spirit of Peace and I desire to impart into you the peace that passes all understanding -- if you are willing to receive that from Me. But I expect you to trust Me whether or not you feel My peace in a given situation.
Child of Mine, trust is doing what I command you to do no matter what the circumstances around you may look like. Trust is not the certainty that I will, or will not, do a certain thing. Trust is obeying what you know I want you to do because you know I want you to do it. Trust is not a certainty that things will turn out a certain way, but it is a certainty that I am in control and that I will not leave you nor abandon you. Trust is not the absence of problems, but it is the certainty that I will come into your problems and bring My glory into them, just as I have promised that I will do.
Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego trusted Me at great personal cost. They knew that I have commanded them not to bow the knee to any idol. So they refused, even in the face of the threat of death. They did not know what I would do for them, they simply knew that I am the One true God and they must not bow their knee to a false god. I say to you, they were frightened. They feared the pain of the flames consuming their flesh as they were to be cast into the burning fiery furnace. They had no certainty that I would rescue them from death; but they had a certainty that if I allowed them to die, I would meet them on the other side of death because I am their God. They trusted Me in the face of fear, and out of that trust they obeyed. And I say to you that they had great cause to fear, for death by fire is not a pleasant prospect. Yet they were more afraid of disobeying Me than they were afraid of a torturous death, because they had a certainty that I am real. Thus they trusted in Me. And I rewarded their faith by delivering them out of the burning fiery furnace and causing them to be placed in positions of honor and authority.
There have been others who have trusted Me in the face of death who I did not deliver, but who I took home to be with Me. I have many martyrs who have laid down their lives for me, who loved not their own life unto the death. There was Lawrence, a father in the Church, who was slowly roasted to death on a giant grill. He also feared the pain of death, but trusted Me despite this fear. I say to you that My spirit came upon him in the time of death, not to spare his life, but to fill him with My glory and to spare his pain. Though the flames licked his body, he felt no pain, because I was with him. I took him home to be with Me in glory because he had completed all of the tasks that I had assigned him to do. But I say to you, his trust in Me was not in vain. For I am the God of the living, and I caused him to live again with Me in eternity.
Child of Mine, trust is not an emotion. Nor is it knowing what I will do in a given situation. Trust is an assurance that I am good and I am faithful and I am all powerful. Trust is demonstrated by obeying Me and doing what I have commanded you to do despite the circumstances that surround you. Trust is knowing that I am with you despite how things look. And trust is knowing that I will come into your situation and work My glory in it.
Child of Mine, I expect you to trust Me, to obey Me -- because you love Me. But I will help you in this. I will work in your situations to give you experience after experience of My faithfulness, to build and increase the level of your trust. I will allow you to experience My presence with you in difficult situations. And I will cause you to be filled with My spirit, to grow in My truth and to grow in knowledge of Me. Child I give you of Myself and of My Spirit Who dwells within you to empower you.
I do require you to trust Me and to obey Me. I count it as trust when you are uncertain of what I will do on your behalf and you obey anyhow. I count it as trust when you are fearful and trembling, yet you obey Me. I count it as trust when you are not centered in My peace, yet you choose to do things My way instead of looking for a different solution in your own strength. Child of Mine, trust is not an emotion -- it is obedience in the face of adversity.
Trust Me, child, for I am faithful.

HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE VOICES THAT SPEAK TO YOU
by Tracy Ruleman (TheGateDC@aol.com)
Website: http://www.thegatedc.com
It is possible to hear the Lord moment by moment but there are other voices that get in the way.
What do the voices sound like and what is the character of the voices?
YOUR OWN VOICE:
Your own voice (you, the flesh) is lazy - it's fat. It simply doesn't want to move. Your voice always wants you to believe it's going to be OK - so call it the "OK" voice. Everything is going to be OK - because it is afraid of change. It cannot guarantee the outcome and it really is addicted to its own pleasure and change upsets it. It settles for just enough because it requires change to get more, it is amazing how you can get used to so little.
Our own voice always wants us to get used to very little because the alternative may be to get us out of our comfort zone, so your own voice will always tell you it's OK, The enemy will never tell you it's OK. He has a different agenda, but your own voice will tell you its Ok, it will work out. When you hear that, just know this is the lazy voice, this is self.
THE ENEMIES VOICE:
The other voice that speaks to you will always accuse you of something. It sounds like your voice only in this respect, remember, this is important, it speaks of something with which you are familiar so you tend to think that it's your voice. It references something that is familiar but it is no more your voice than the man in the moon. This is it's trick, it will remind you of something that makes you uncomfortable, that is the first thing it will do. Usually it will be somewhere you failed, usually somewhere you messed up, just to remember it embarrasses you and then after that, it takes you down the slope. It will ambush you, and then it will mug you.
That is the way it works. It will remind you of something that already puts you on the defensive and then it will accuse you or it will berate you. "You stupidâ?¦.." Don't ever say to yourself, "I am so stupid", because you are empowering that voice to speak for you. It is not your voice but it loves for you to believe it's your voice.
So when that voice speaks to you and says "Your stupid", you say back, "No, your stupid now get out of my face". Begin to recognize it; we need to exercise discipline here. If you exercise some discipline here, you'll get some victory. This is the enemy. You need to throw it right back at him. Never engage it or try to explain or justify, if you do you will give him more power against you. The enemy has no authority to accuse you or judge you, refuse to empower him. He is not out to do you good so DO NOT EMPOWER HIS VOICE AGAINST YOU.
THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT:
He will make you uncomfortable but you will strangely know that you can do it. He will challenge your voice that wants to be comfortable but he will not accuse you of anything for He's not the accuser of the brethren. He will stretch you. When He stretches you, go up because you've been given the authority to go up. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will never challenge you to go to some other place in Him and then pull the ground out from under you. He will never do it because it's not Him; it's not His way.
God is not a deceiver. If He tells you to come on up, step up. Step up; you are going to find the ground under you. The voice of the Spirit will always stretch you to the next place, which means you won't be comfortable following the Spirit if you desire to remain comfortable where you are. There will come a time when you are comfortable following the Spirit because it will be your way of life. You will anticipate the excitement of new growth, new extensions in the Spirit.
You can follow the Spirit moment by moment, your walking in His power and the Kingdom advances through you.
You'll be able to distinguish the Spirit's voice from the voice of your own self-will which seeks your comfort. The voice of your enemy that accuses you to demean you and the voice of the Spirit that will take you in a direction often that's not predictable but you'll always find the provision for everything you need to step forward into the next thing.

NOTE FROM PAM: I haven't met the Franklins, Don and Bonnie, in person, but what I have met online via email has been very precious. They are very humble folks. They have a great sensitivity to the Spirit and a deep love for the real Jesus. I say that because they see things that you can only know by knowing the Spirit and it really bears witness in that unseem realm.
I am sharing these two words, one from each of them, because even though the words seem personal for the ones involved, you can glean from them good things.
Don's word here speaks of things that many don't quite grasp. God has a Spiritual order and Spiritual way of doing things. There is obedience and testing and proving and then order in the order. Someone who knows this order can discern often how much God is in a thing. It can be taught, but few do it. God does things by witnesses, and He does things by confirmations, and He has specific orders in establishing things. I don't consider myself an expert on all of it, but I've observed a few things.
Many times people pray and don't mean what they pray or realize HOW God is going to answer, especially when it comes to ministry. It's a continual learning thing, but when people really cry out in prayer, God WILL send prophets. But sometimes the prophets are not received, or they are not treated with respect in their office and position and sometimes they are not even discerned or discerned correctly. I am not talking about personality. People often miss the ministry (from God) because they look at the personality.
I tend to know the prophetic side of this, but I am sure that when people cry out for souls, that God sends evangelists! But who will hear, and who will teach and minister to the converts? We've had many aborted souls. And who will minister to the evangelist? (That's a worthy side track, but I'll move on.) When people want to establish works, God will SEND ministering apostles, and they don't always have to lay claim to the work, but the Spirit knows. Prophets are also often there as a prophetic foundational witness. Again, God knows. It's done by the Spirit.
There is a Spiritual order, a spiritual way of doing things.
There was a time when being a prophet was not "cool" and was greatly suspect because of all the wild cults you would hear about on the news. I often say jokingly that I was a prophet when prophet wasn't cool. I lived in Houston and in 1976 the Lord called me to the prophetic ministry. I had a lot to learn first and am still learning! I had many words inside me, but they weren't received as far as I could tell, because I wasn't "anybody" and some had some strange reactions when I did share! I was also young in the Lord in many ways, but He was definitely stirring with a zeal inside of me. I gained Godly favor with friends in Godly circles, and more and more I was listened to, because I learned how to present myself and the words. You have to learn.
As time went by, my burden for the prophetic ministry grew and I realized very few knew about what I had been studying because of the Voice Visitation calling that I got. Before I could really give words, people needed to know how to receive words, and it is one big challenge to share and impart that. I published a newsletter, but I also knew that my job was to equip people for the ministry and so I began meetings with myself speaking and different special speakers. It was my training ground as well in many ways.
The focus was (and is) strong within me. But as the Lord had me teach and share about the prophetic ministry, breaking ground in many ways, I noticed there was a pattern as to how it worked. For good reasons, pastors were cautious. Curious, but cautious. There were a lot of flakey people out there calling themselves prophets but who were trying to usurp the authority and ministry of the pastors.
There were a few pastors who lent support and as more got to know me, more favor grew, but still in those days, it was "a few" who were feeling internally the "heat" of the prophetic fires, as these bones (structures) were rattling and coming together. We were discovering ourselves with this "new thing" anointing called the prophetic.
I could go on and on about this, and maybe I will later, but since we were an open city wide meeting, I noticed that many representatives of churches came to "check us out" and that most of those were teachers in the Body. Many of course were aspiring prophets (and apostles) in the making or going through the fires of venturing out in the ministry. I realized that this company needed each other.
What I discovered, long story short, was that the teachers in the Body came and took copious notes and then went back and shared them with their pastors and church leaders. Can you see an order here? The gift gave the revealing of itself and the teachers do what teachers do, they studied and learned and then did the teaching, and the pastors prepared the body. There is an order.
After a season, and not just by me of course, the prophetic broke open in the city! It became commonplace to see one at a meeting or a church service. And across the nation - this was happening all over. And the internet certainly revealed that and connected us even more.
Instructed by God as a trans-local prophet, I know, also being from a big city and travelling, what it is like to be sent. Sometimes the word is hard, and sometimes it is very exciting and always it is hopeful, because you know when the anointing breaks out and God moves, people will be blessed. (Sometimes you just go to pray.)
People sometimes run off the anointing or the prophet with his word, and while God may give a word or two by prophetic anointing on someone not a prophet, His order (and He sticks with it) is words of direction and visioinary insight through the prophets. It's not about what the pastor or person wants, it's about what God wants! There are times when I am all stirred up but can't share it all because the order is not set. And I have to BE ready, if it is my place to give the message.
Just as there are certain ministries through the pastors, and it's not up for grabs or our design, there is also specifics of ministry through the other four fold giftings of Ephesians 4. And sadly still, people in their anointings often can't see the other anointings and what God wants or is trying to do, but the apostles will help us mature here.
So all that is to say that I can really hear what Don is trying to share here from the Lord in this message. It APPEARS weak in some ways, but really is very strong. There are some "prophets" who try to steal the show, but true prophets will equip the Lord's ministry. The burden isn't all on ANY of the five fold giftings, it's a shared work, and they must work together to build HIS House.
More later, Shalom, Shalom!
Learn to hear things by the Spirit. He is speaking to all of us.

THE TURNING
by Rick Joyner (www.morningstarministries.org)
In Luke 17:20-21 the Lord stated, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” This past week will go down in history as one of the most important weeks in the spiritual history of the world. There were major signs of this, but few observed them. As the above verse says, most are looking for physical signs, and this causes them to miss some of the most important events that are taking place. The real signs are happening in the hearts of men instead of events that make the news.
What happened that was so dramatic that it will make last week one of the most important in history? A subtle resolve was released in Christians around the world. They will begin to refuse to give any more ground to the devil. A turning has begun that will ultimately reveal that in many nations the devil reached his “high water mark” last week and he will not advance any further. Christians in many nations will take their stand for righteousness and truth, and the darkness will be turned back.
There was a sign in the natural of this major turning—the blackout over the Northeastern United States. They may come up with other explanations of this event, but what happened was a reversal of the current, or a reversal of the power. The reason that they will probably come up with other explanations for this is because what happened is technically impossible. This was just a little token from the Lord that the power which has been flowing one way for so long, corrupting the morals of our nation, and releasing perversion and deception, are now going to reverse. As this happens, you can count on it being disruptive and unsettling in a multitude of ways, but overall it will be handled very well, and the end result will be the deliverance of a nation from destruction.
The death of Edi Amin was another sign that few observed or understood. This man represented a kind of ruthless demonic power for slaughtering Christians and Jews. A prophecy came forth in 1975 from Bob Jones, saying this man would be demonically protected and kept alive for many years, but when he died it would be because these demonic powers were being weakened. Now we can expect others who operate by the same power to start losing their protection as well.
Other areas where we will start to see a reversal are:
The Removal of God From Our Schools and Public Places.
God is coming back. The defiance of the judge in Alabama to remove the Ten Commandments from his court has the kind of prophetic power behind it to begin turning back the tragic loss of freedom of religion and freedom of speech that has been working for decades to undermine our basic liberties. Many others have defied such orders for a time, but they did not have the kind of prophetic power that this event does.
When I speak of prophetic power in an event, one of the great examples of this in history was when Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the church in Wittenburg. Many others had taken similar stands, but when Martin Luther took his stand for his convictions, even though he was an obscure person in an obscure village, it set off a chain of events that changed the world more than any conqueror in history.
This is the kind of prophetic power that the courageous act of Rosa Parks demonstrated when she took her stand against the humiliation and injustice of segregation by refusing to move to the back of a bus. Who would have thought such an act would spark the revolution that it did? Many others had done similar things without the same kind of results.
The only way to explain it is that it had prophetic authority. God cares so deeply about injustice that we are told that righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne (see Psalm 89:14). He is only looking for someone to stand in the gap that He can use to intervene in the affairs of men.
I am not saying by this that this one event in Alabama will be as big an event as that of Martin Luther, but it has prophetic power behind it and will accomplish much—far more than we would think such an event could.
As a footnote, there are gates of hell and gates of heaven. These are places where either heaven or hell gain entry. It is no accident that Montgomery, Alabama is a place where two such prophetic events have taken place.
The Homosexual Onslaught Of Perversion and Immorality Has Reached Its High Water Mark and Will Be Turned Back.
Homosexuality is not only clearly and repeatedly stated to be a sin in Scripture, but it is called “a sin against nature,” and “an abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). It is a perversion that leads to a depravity that God will not tolerate long, and will lead to the destruction of a nation. The things that are done in public at gay parades and demonstrations are becoming such a demeaning outrage to the rest of the human race that a huge backlash is beginning.
It is incomprehensible but true that today, in the United States of America, it is against the law to even mention God in schools and public places, except to take His name in vain, while homosexuality is not only flaunted, but promoted. This is not only done in the public schools of the nation, it is being promoted even to young children.
Homosexuals, who are demanding tolerance from all others, are now seen to be the most intolerant of all in threatening and attacking those who they perceive to stand in the way of their drive to dominate only the political, public, private, and even the religious life of the nation. This has gone as far as it will, and will be turned back.
In this there is a real danger for Christians. Satan will not cast out Satan. Anger, bitterness, and violence will not cast out perversion. God does love every single homosexual and desires for them to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. Every human being should be treated with the utmost respect and dignity by Christians—regardless of their religion or sexual orientation. We should be outraged and take a stand against injustice inflicted upon homosexuals.
Do not forget Abraham, who interceded the way he did for God to, if possible, spare Sodom. Because they may have overreacted to the intolerance and injustices that they have been subject to does not mean that we should. Our goal or desire should not be the destruction or even injury to any human being, regardless of the grip that sin now has on their life, but rather their salvation and true freedom.
Even so, sin is a choice, not a biological condition. True religion cannot be imposed on others. What needs to be pushed back is the imposing and even militant flaunting of this perversion and immorality on others, but we should care and work for the civil rights of every person to be preserved.
Great Lights Are Being Sent to Break the Oppression and Bondage Off of “The Dark Continent.”
The “dark continent” I am talking about here is not Africa, but Europe. Missionaries from Africa are going to help save Europe from the veil of deep darkness that now grips this continent. This is the bread that was cast upon the waters by the European nations who sacrificed so much to send missionaries all over the world with the gospel. Now, for the sake of the fathers, missionaries from the nations they sent them to are returning as grace from the Lord to help save Europe.
This is another “reversal” but it is from the Lord, and it will turn back the tide of darkness in many of these nations. Even so, some, such as The Netherlands, are in danger of natural disasters soon washing them away if the turning of repentance does not come soon. Pray especially for The Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, and France.
There are other areas, such as abortion and the regard for life that we will begin to see light prevail over the darkness after many decades of retreat. Many nations that have been poor and oppressed will begin to prosper because of turning to the Light. Many nations that have been prosperous, but have turned to the darkness, will begin to slide economically.
This is because Satan is losing his power to give the kingdoms of this world to those who bow to him. He may become even more enraged, and will yet do much damage as he loses his exalted place in the affairs of men, as he is “cast out of heaven,” but his time is short, and the reversal has begun. It may take years to be able to see it clearly, but last week marked the beginning of this turning.

THE TURNING - Part II
by Rick Joyner (www.morningstarministries.org)
This week we will continue the prophetic theme that we began last week concerning the way that major turning points have been reached, as well as some of the ways we are going to see Luke 17:20-21 fulfilled:
"The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or, 'There it is!' For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst."
There are major spiritual shifts coming, which will result in the reversal of the way things have been flowing for a long time. These shifts have already begun, but some may take quite a while before they can be seen as a reversal. Some involve nations, even whole continents and cultures. Just as an aircraft carrier cannot turn like a speedboat, but can take miles to turn around, some of the things that have begun to turn may hardly even seem to be turning for a time. Even so, they have begun to turn, and we will soon see a complete reversal in the direction in which they were going.
First, let me review a few things that have been included in previous prophetic writings from our ministry, or statements put out by some of our prophetic friends. We need to consider how these words were fulfilled to understand where we are now.
When Bob Jones first prophesied that the next President would be “a burning bush from Texas,” George W. Bush was not yet a candidate, and we really did not know to whom this referred. When George Bush announced his candidacy, James Robison told me that he was going to be the next President. I had already forgotten Bob’s “burning bush prophecy” and to be honest I was a little skeptical about Bush becoming the next President. Later, when looking over Bob’s prophecy, I became a believer. However, I confess to feeling that Bush was more of a politician than a man of principle like Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer who I would have personally preferred. However, I think my perception of George W. Bush was wrong.
Then there was another aspect of the “burning bush” that seemed improbable. In Bob’s prophecy it would be the church that elected George Bush as President. This was more literally fulfilled than I think any of us realized. It was not just because Christians voting made the difference in the election.
Bob Jones shared his “burning bush prophecy” in several black churches in the Panhandle of Florida just before the election. It persuaded them to vote for Bush instead of Al Gore. If you watched the election coverage that night, Gore was awarded the state of Florida at first because they forgot the Panhandle poles closed an hour later as they were in the Central Time Zone. Even when they caught this mistake, the Panhandle was expected to go for Gore, but to everyone’s surprise it didn’t. By just a handful of votes, the Panhandle counties were surprisingly carried by Bush. In fact, one count was that Bush carried the state by 341 votes. This was a number given to Bob many years ago to represent a coming unity between three major things (three “for” one or three becoming one).
Bob Jones jokingly claims that he was the one who got Bush elected, but I think this is literally true. The handful of black churches he went to and persuaded to vote for Bush instead of voting for Gore is likely what made the difference. I think we could also say that George Bush was elected by the black church because of this. Of course, neither will ever be credited for this in man’s history books, but I think on that great Judgment Day when God’s history books are opened, we are going to find out that this is really what happened.
So, what is my point? First, God really is the one who decides who is going to sit in authority. He also has ways of doing things that reveal His heart, so we should study them. As a part of this whole revelation about “the burning bush” and who would be the next President, we need to understand what the “the burning bush” part of this prophecy meant.
Some have interpreted this to be the way the Twin Towers went up in flames during his presidency, or as a symbol of the war that we are now in. However, I do not believe this has yet been fulfilled the way it was intended, and in fact it seems to have been going in the opposite direction. For Bush to fulfill this calling, there will have to be a major “turning” in the foreign policy of the United States. If this change does not come about, George W. Bush will not be reelected.
The “burning bush” in Scripture was a bush on which the fire burned but it was not consumed. Of course, there have been few Presidents in history that have been under as much fire as this one, and at least to date it has not consumed him. However, the main point of the burning bush in Scripture was not the natural phenomenon of it burning and not being consumed. It was that the Lord spoke through the burning bush to call His deliverer and set His people (Israel) free from their bondage.
Not only has this not happened yet, but the Bush Administration has formulated a foreign policy that has only increased Israel’s bondage. This policy not only has the potential to nullify any chance for Bush to be reelected, but it can actually lead to terrible consequences for our nation. You can trace the fall of the British Empire to their opposition to the purposes of God with Israel. Likewise, if there is not a turning, our foreign policy will continue to drift further and further from biblical prophecies concerning the purposes of God with Israel in the last days. These prophecies are both an irresistible force and immovable object. Those who go against them will not last long.
How has this happened? This is a “Haman spirit” in the U.S. State Department. Remember that Haman was the one who tried to orchestrate the destruction of Israel in the book of Esther. This same spirit that tried to use Haman has stopped trying to destroy Israel, and throughout history has used others such as Peter the Hermit, and Hitler. Just as the Lord raised up Esther to save Israel, as well as reveal Haman, who died on his own gallows that he had built for Mordecai the Jew, the Lord is raising up a “new order of Esther” to do the same.
As those who have followed our ministry have heard us say many times over the years, the same spirit that rose up in Nazi Germany came to the United States after World War II. This is because the United States not only has such a purpose with Israel in these times, but we have the largest population of Jews in the world. This spirit will not manifest itself as a Nazi again. It will be far more subtle. However, the primary places it is trying to gain control over is the U.S. State Department and the United Nations. However, those who are a part of a strategy to destroy Israel will ultimately fall into their own trap.
Let me add at this point that we are not warring against flesh and blood, but against spiritual powers in high places (see Ephesians 6:12). The individuals who are being used in this way may not know or understand it, but they are promoting policies that will not only weaken Israel, but are actually putting her existence in jeopardy.
It will probably get to the point where it appears that this strategy will have worked before it is revealed in such a way that it will actually empower Israel to remove her enemies in many places.
The Lord is not going to let Israel be destroyed. As an abundance of Scriptures reveal, there are not only a host of prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled with the nation of Israel. There are many promises of God that He made to Israel, which are clearly made to the “natural seed” of Israel, the “Jew according to the flesh,” and not to the “spiritual seed” of Israel, which the Lord declared could not be changed without impugning both His Lordship and His integrity. Many of these have to do with the land that Israel was promised, which the United States has long been pressuring Israel to give up in exchange for peace.
Israel may in fact be pressured to give up more land, but this will never lead to peace; rather it will lead to a much more devastating conflict. God’s Word will be proven true in the end. Everyone who has stood in the way of it coming to pass has been removed. Regardless of how pious our President is, and sincere in trying to obey the Lord in other areas, he will not be reelected unless his policies toward Israel change.
I have had believers, not only in our own country but around the world ask me how our President could be a Christian and do what he is doing to Israel. First, nowhere does it say that one has to understand all of the prophecies concerning Israel or these times to be saved. I have personally gone from believing that our President was mostly a politician to believing that he is probably one of the most principled leaders that we have had in recent times. I am convinced that he is sincerely trying to live by the light that he has been given. For this reason the Lord is going to have mercy on him and our country, by showing him what presently and shamefully he is doing. I say “shamefully” because some of them are hypocritical to even the most simple observer, which he must somehow presently be blinded to because he really is a man of principle.
Like King Ahasuerus in the book of Esther, our President must not understand what some of his closest advisors are trying to do through him that threatens both Israel and Christians. This “Haman spirit” that has risen to such a place of influence in our government must soon be revealed, and I believe it will be done in such a way that it will be destroyed in the very “gallows” that it set up for the Jews.
There is a “new order of Esther” arising that will be used to expose the devil’s continuing plots to destroy the Jewish people, as well as Christians who have a common destiny at the end of this age. I will continue on this subject next week in The Word for the Week entitled, “Saving A Nation.”
A Personal Note From Rick
For the past three years, this Word for the Week has mostly been devoted to teaching, and I have used the Special Words section of our website to issue prophetic perspectives. However, since this past June, I have had more prophetic dreams than I think I have had during the previous thirty years of my Christian life. Because of this, The Word for the Week will be used at least for a time, mostly for a prophetic perspective, as this is frequently what I am getting at this time.
Important News About Harvest Fest
The Harvest Fest Conference next month (September 25-28) will almost certainly be our most important conference ever. A clear trumpet call will go forth from it. Believers from every state and from around the world, have been registering. There are still campsites and hotel rooms available but we only have a few more tents for rent for churches and ministries that want to have their own outreach in Tabernacle City. Reserve yours now if you intend to do this.
Also, even though we had intended to raise the registration fee after August 31, we are going to continue with the registration fee of just $49 per person and $39 per person when registering in groups of ten or more. The registration fee is to help cover the basic costs of the conference, but if anyone cannot afford this registration fee, please just send whatever you can afford, and it would be an honor for us to cover the difference for you. We do not want anyone to miss out on this for financial reasons.
