Through many generations God’s loving Hand has greatly blessed the United States of America. We are a Christian nation that was founded upon reliance on God and His principles.
He has graciously provided all of our needs, from an abundance of food on our tables, the clothes that we wear, to the warm shelter within our homes. The Lord has protected us, for we are His people. He has remained faithful and merciful, gently caring for us as a shepherd tends to his flock.
In difficult times God is our solid Rock. He is our Shield that fiercely protects us from our enemies as He offers those He loves a safe and secure place of refuge.
The United States of America was once a prosperous nation that overflowed with milk and honey. Our thriving economy actually manufactured quality products that were labeled “Made in the U.S.A.” God blessed us with the strongest military power in the world, as our allies depended on us for their security and defense.
But, somewhere along the way, we became a rebellious people. Like the children of Israel we decided to take the credit for ourselves, failing to acknowledge that these wonderful gifts came from Almighty God, the One who created heaven and earth. Instead of thanking our loving Father with praise we began to eliminate Him from our lives.
He has been removed from the schools and America’s children are no longer allowed to pray. Sadly, in some places we are not even allowed to openly worship the baby Jesus at Christmas time except in our homes. Some churches are not upholding godly principles, straying away from God’s Word, supporting detestable acts in God’s eyes such as abortion and homosexuality. Traditional marriage between a man and a woman is being altered as now homosexual couples are allowed to marry each other.
God’s children are being raised in dysfunctional homes without a clear concept of the true American family, which includes a father and a mother.
The influx of illegal immigrants across our borders is creating havoc, as they take our jobs and destroy the rule of law, making a mockery of the fundamental principles of this great nation.
As Christians we know deep in our hearts that God surely must be weeping with a broken heart for His people and how we have defiantly disobeyed him. It can only be a matter of time before God’s enduring patience with us begins to subside. In fact, we are already witnessing the erosion of our God-given freedoms.
The United States of America was once a prosperous nation. Now our economy is disintegrating right before our eyes, forcing people into poverty, as millions of Americans lose their jobs to overseas competition, and their homes to foreclosure.
Families are now finding themselves to be dependent on the government for their entire welfare.
Our only hope for the survival of this great nation is in God. We must repent of our sins, and turn back to Him before it is too late!
The Lord speaks to us very clearly in 2 Chronicles, chapter 7:14:
"If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
If we seek the Lord with all of our heart and soul, humbling ourselves, He will hear our prayers. And then, like all the generations that went before, our posterity will be able to enjoy the wonderful blessings of His Almighty Hand.
And so, until the hour of Jesus’ glorious return, let us do the work He has given us in helping to turn our fellow Americans back to Him. If we will simply be faithful in that, what a victorious Day that will be!

Our dear friend Georgette Smelich always gives credit for everything she does to the LORD. But in the case of this wonderful speech she has also expressed her gratitude to her dear friend Pastor Vonnie Phillips, who had also very recently affiliated with AIP. The ideas presented here arose out of conversations between them.
Yesterday, Vonnie Phillips was involved in a serious automobile accident in the Sand Hills of Nebraska, and went home to be with her Lord and Savior.
And so, Georgette has dedicated this speech to her lovely friend that she misses so much. Please pray for Vonnie’s family, friends, and congregation.
My sister Teresa was also very close friends with Vonnie, and I hope you will hold her in prayer as well, along with Georgette.
Thank you.

Urgent Prayer Request
Francis Frangipane Ministries
Ministries of Francis Frangipane September 17, 2009
Recent headlines reveal that federal agents are going into homes in New York, Denver and elsewhere and are looking for terrorists. These probes are symptomatic of, what many believe to be, credible evidence that say a major "9-11" type attack is possibly imminent.
We must not take these threats lightly. A certain "ho-hum" attitude has infiltrated the church concerning terror attacks in America, and we need to shake that off. With faith, not fear, let us pray for federal agents and their efforts. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to help our agents find the terrorists, expose their plots and end the threats -- and also that the agents would attribute this success to God.
I, for one, am taking this call to prayer seriously, and I ask you to join me in praying daily for this need.

IT APPEARS that Francis is not aware that a sizeable chunk of [globalist] TPTB are working ON THE SIDE OF the terrorists.
TPTB WANT maximum death and chaos.
I also believe Francis is being very restrained and conservative in his wording. My perspective is that such a threat is 100% CERTAIN. I just don't know the timing of it.

PLEASE check out the CALL TO PRAYER HERE:
How NEAR, I don't know . . . some things I think are mere weeks to a few months away. Other parts probably longer than a year.

FROM CHARMAINE EGGERS:
I have done Internet searches looking for Sarah Hoffman, to see if she has done any speaking engagements or had a Website or ministry. I have found zilch.
Because I know nothing of her, her prophecy doesnt belong in the category of trusted watchmen such as David Wilkerson, Dumitru Duduman, John Kilpatrick, or Nathan Leal.
But I will say this for her vision: the events that she describes could be argued as plausible. They line up with Scriptures on several accounts, as well as dreams, visions and words from various sources, so Ive listed the events she recounts and then afterwards I take them and line them up with other prophetic words.
HOFFMANS PANORAMIC VISION OF THE END OF THE WORLD
Hoffman opens her vision by seeing a Middle East war that begins by Libya striking Israel with a nuclear bomb, BUT the bomb actually came from Iran and everybody knew it!
Hoffman saw the following events unfold and knew that they led up to the attack on Israel, but she never comes back to the attack and inserts it in the proper order of events.
Here is what Hoffman saw in her panoramic vision, in the order that she saw the events:
1. New York City had tall buildings fall with tremendous smoke, debris and dust. (World Trade Towers?)
2. Shortly afterwards, no commerce, no shopping, no buying, and . . . no economy.
3. Two diseases: (1) A disease of white, dime-sized blisters started appearing in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Salt Lake City.
(2) A disease that caused blood to come from nose, mouth, eyes and ears. It started as a flu-like virus that spread faster than the blister disease. The people who had this disease died faster than those who had the blister disease. Both diseases were wide spread across the US. These diseases also appeared in Israel. (emphasis mine)
4. People tried to flee the cities to get away from the diseases and from the complete chaos of societal breakdown.
5. No electricity.
6. Cars piled up, blocking roadways. People had to walk.
7. Massive, brutal gang violence, primarily in the cities.
8. No communication of any kind.
9. A tremendously long winter that lasted into summer. It caught everybody by surprise.
10. The long winter started the full famine. The famine had been going on because of floods, droughts and plagues, but many had not really noticed until the long winter.
11. During the long winter, the two diseases became much worse, killing more people.
12. During the long winter, there was no government. There was complete anarchy and chaos. No one was in control anywhere.
13. Because of the long winter, food was scarce. People were panicked trying to find food, even digging up and eating worms.
14. The water supply had been poisoned, and drinkable water was scarce. People drank the water knowing they would die from it.
15. Gangs started hunting families that were hiding, brutally raping and butchering anyone they found.
16. Family relationships were strained to breaking so that loving ties no longer mattered. Husbands killed wives, and moms killed their children in order to survive.
17. Smoke filled the air as cities burned out of control.
18. Some pockets of light formed, mostly in the western states. These pockets were people who banded together to pray, defend each other and take care of each other. They had guns, and the gangs wouldnt confront them. These pockets had formed before the disease outbreaks. It was like they had known what was coming and had prepared for it. Many of these pockets tried to move to the mountains and to the high places.
19. Missiles came from Russia and hit several US cities and caused mushroom clouds. New York and Las Vegas were hit with missiles.
20. Some cities had mushroom clouds but not from missiles. Instead, they were from bombs hidden inside trucks and had been in the US for awhile. It appeared that Los Angeles and Salt Lake had truck bombs.
21. About the same time as the missiles and bombs, hot fireballs the size of golf balls fell from the sky. They left streaks of smoke behind, and anything they touched caught on fire, including people.
22. Russian troops invaded the East Coast and parachuted into Salt Lake.
23. Chinese troops invaded the West Coast at Los Angeles. The local people started fighting them. There was no American military to combat them.
Both the Russians and the Chinese lose, but unsure how that happened.
24. The winter following the long winter, earthquakes began in Idaho and Wyoming then quickly spread from there.
25. A huge earthquake struck Utah and California. Several subsequent earthquakes hit CA, devastating Los Angeles and San Francisco.
26. The earthquakes triggered volcanoes in the west, and smoke and ash rained down everywhere. (Hoffman implies that these eruptions continued for a long period of time.)
27. A massive wave of water nearly swept L.A. away. (Many coastal cities worldwide were being inundated.)
28. The earthquakes forced massive amounts of subterranean water to the surface near Salt Lake City destroying virtually all of the city.
29. Another disease appeared that had red blotches. It killed people as they stood on their feet. They disintegrated into a bloody mass. Bodies piled up and attempts were made to burn the bodies.
30. A huge earthquake in the middle of the United States that seemed to split the US in half about where the Mississippi River is. The crack was huge, and the ground sank and the entire area became one vast inland sea from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.
31. Massive earthquakes occurred all over the world.
32. A tremendous wind came upon the earth. It was stronger than any hurricane or tornado ever recorded. It appeared to be caused by a planet that came so close that it disrupted everything. People hid in rocks and caves trying to escape the wind.
33. A huge fireball of red and gold colors and 3-to-4 times the size of earth approached earth to engulf it. (emphasis mine)
34. Jesus came and got the good people who were left off the earth but the few wicked who had survived were not taken.

Had an interesting experience at pottery last evening. I shared one of my posts . . . I think post #43 with an Assembly of God woman who's mature and balanced and prayerful. And normally quite aware of the times we are in. Her response kind of . . . jolted me. She, too, thought I was 'too much into a doomsday perspective or mentality' if I understood her comment correctly.
What is this blindness even over folks who are mostly awake and aware? Is it wishful thinking?
Is it denial?
Is it pretending that it's manyana manyana manyana?
Is it spiritual delusion and blindness even over authentic Christians???
It's concerning.
I'm skeptical we'll have a very wonderful Christmas this year. If we do, it will be the last one until after Armageddon.
Why are so few folks--even END TIMES AWARE SPIRIT FILLED CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS--so lacking in alertness???
What's the best way to pray for such folks?
I just posted the vision from the Lord that the LDS woman received after Jesus rescued her from suicide. One of our dear prophetic brothers scolded Joya for emailing that around months ago because the woman was LDS. Personally, Jesus can rescue and speak to whomever HE CHOOSES and I'm not going to throw rocks at an authentic anything from Jesus to anyone. God has often used unlikely channels of His will throughout history.
Anyway--it seems to be a challenge to wake-up even those who are already mostly awake.
And the clueless are . . . increasingly terminally clueless. Very sad. Very very sad. Ah, well. We can only do what we can do that God enables us to do.
I don't know how much we'll be able to communicate by Holy Spirit or other means in coming weeks and months . . . Just know you are in my hearts and as God reminds, in my prayers. If any of you well known to me want to exchange phone numbers, please do by FREEPMAIL OR EMAIL.
May God have mercy on us all.
marker
Please check your FREEPMAIL.
I know how frustrating this can be. I’ve tried sending things to my pastors and I get NO response from them. One has a son living in NYC. People get to thinking we’re over the top but...
INDEED.
The cluelessness on this forum, of all forums ought to be minimal. It’s not.
Alertness and awakeness have improved hereon markedly.
However, many are still sleepwalking . . . or even the walking dead.
My opinion is that those mostly awake believers who do not acknowledge the imminent judgment are holding onto the hope (the lie?) that this time will be like the times of judgment in the past and life will continue. Perhaps it is because we are so comfortable in the USA and a feeling of "it can't happen to me" has settled in. Perhaps it is that to honestly contemplate and accept the truth being shown brings great fear and panic and it is easier to scoff than to be humble.
I'm sure each of us that has accepted the truth of the season we are living in has had to address the fear and panic, I know I have. The only way to overcome these emotions is to be buried with Messiah and to live in Him alone. This process is easier said than done, however, and many are not willing to go through that "faith barrier" to obtain the peace that the Spirit has to offer. This process includes letting go of all control over our lives to the Lordship of Messiah, it includes releasing the future of our children to the Lordship of Messiah, it includes releasing our pride, our self-will, and our traditions to the Lordship of Messiah.
When the day of judgment dawns on this nation it will be the believers that have this peace beyond all understanding, who have already died to this world and all that it holds, that will comfort and help those who didn't want to see but cannot deny it any longer. Some will be humbled and accept and cling with all their might to Messiah, and others will flee to the hills and try to run which will bring their demise.
All we can do is to pray for soft and humble hearts. We MUST trust in the LORD that all He foreknew will come to Him and none will be lost. We must be willing to forsake all (including those who will not come to Him) and follow Jesus, trusting in His character and His Word. It is not by our might, but by His alone that the battle is won. Not only the battle that is at the doorsteps of this world, but more importantly, the battle for the lost souls.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR POST 100%
THANKS MUCH.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
I agree, too.I pray all of us will have what it takes to persevere throughout all of this insanity.
I pray for all of us that we will persevere and not only that but to be victorious! I am holding onto the Truth that He will provide this ability because I know that it's not within me or of me.
"Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:19-25 (emphasis mine)
Shalom! Rosh Hashanah has begun in Israel. The new year is upon us, the books in Heaven are open.
EXCELLENT SCRIPTURE AND BIBLICAL EXHORTATION.
THANKS TONS. TOTALLY AGREE AGAIN.
LET US BE ABOUT THE MASTER’S BUSINESS . . . THE ONLY REAL AND ETERNAL BUSINESS.
LET US WALK IN HIS CONFIDENCE, PEACE AND JOY . . . THE ONLY SOURCES OF SUCH.
