Costa Concordia

2012-01-20T18:28:00.000-06:00

That is the name of the cruise liner that hit the rocks and sunk on the coast of Italy recently. One of my readers brought to my attention yesterday that the decks on the ship are named after European countries. That reminded me of what David Wilkerson had prophesied several years ago about a European nation going bankrupt and that would cause economic collapses in many other European countries, and the United States as well.

The Costa Concordia was built in Italy and hit the rocks and sank on the shoreline of Italy. I believe the spiritual meaning of this is that Italy will be the first nation to "hit the rocks" and go under financially, and then the rest of Europe will follow shortly thereafter. The economic collapse of the USA will not be far behind. For those with stock market investments I suggest that if you hear that Italy's economy has collapsed that you should immediately sell your stocks because the economic collapse of this nation will not be far off. As soon as Italy's economy collapses the stock market will tank and will not recover. It will all be a fast downhill slide from then on.

Like the cruise liner, the nations have been cruising along into a financial abyss, unwilling to make the hard decisions and sacrifices necessary to bring their countries back to economic stability. They have just been having a great time, like those on the cruise ships, ignoring the stark realities of their failing economies. The United States is no different, spending money like there will be no tomorrow. It will come to an end shortly.

Yes, I believe that this message is a warning from the Lord to help you to be ready for what is coming.

2011 was worst year in history for "natural catastrophes"

2012-01-19T19:56:00.001-06:00

In 2010 I wrote about catastrophe after catastrophe striking this nation as part of God's judgment upon this country. Then in June of last year I wrote in my message "Coming Out of the Eye of the Storm", that judgment had already begun and was going to get worse and worse. In a news report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration today I read that 2011 was "extreme" in terms of weather and that there were 14 disasters that cost over $1 billion each, with a total loss of $55 billion, the highest in the history of the USA. In addition, mass murders increased dramatically last year.

Now most people will consider this as just bad luck, bad timing. But some of realize that it the hand of God causing these disasters.

Jer 6:19 - Hear O earth: "Behold, I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their plans, because they have not listened to My words. And as for My law, they have rejected it also".

Ezek 6:10 - "Then they will know that I am the Lord. I have not said in vain that I would inflict this disaster upon them."

Ezek 7:5 - Thus says the Lord God "A disaster, a unique disaster, behold it is coming"

Jer 11:14 - "Therefore do not pray for this people nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster."

This year, 2012, the disasters will only get worse. What will those disasters be? I believe that this year we will see a series of massive earthquakes in this nation, a continuation of the extreme drought in many of our southern states, more mass killings and, worst of all, the solar storms hitting the nation later this year.

Recently, a friend loaned me several books by Terri Blackstock who, starting in 2005, wrote a series of four Christian mystery novels dealing with a global blackout caused by "pulses" from some type of star. These novels deal with one community in Alabama and how they deal with this situation. How the faith of many people is tested and how the faith of some is strengthened during this time. The books speak truthfully of how much God demands of His people during these times, how difficult life can be.

Terri was prophetic when she wrote these books and I doubt that she knew it. Although the blackouts will be caused by solar storms and will not affect the entire globe, they will destroy all electricity and electronics in the areas that God has chosen for them to impact. The four novels in the series are "Last Light", "Night Light", "True Light" and "Dawn's Light". They are in paperback and should be available at your local library.

The reason I find them so intriguing and hard to put down is that I can see that the community portrayed in these books is probably very similar to the places of refuge that God will set up for His people during the coming years. The problems that these people experience are things that we will also have to deal with in the near future, even in the places of refuge. If you are able to, I highly recommend that you read them.

As always, my brothers and sisters, continue in the faith, in reading the Bible and in prayer.

Epic Storm

2011-11-09T14:07:00.000-06:00

In a September post about continuing calamities I talked about a storm hitting the USA like the "fist of God". That happened today with what is being called an "epic storm" which hit the Alaska coast today. Fortunately it hit an area that was not highly populated so it didn't cause many deaths that they know about at this time. But it was no doubt the storm the Lord said would hit this nation. Will there be another one? Possibly, but only the Lord knows for sure.

Persecution

2011-10-20T13:39:00.000-05:00

There was an article in the news today about a Christian schoolteacher in New Jersey who is being investigated by the school board because she posted on her Facebook page that she believes homosexuality is a sin. Naturally, all the homosexual, lesbian and transgender groups (I refuse to call them "gay" because there is nothing gay about their abominations), as well as the "politically correct" groups are criticizing her and condemning her because of her "hateful" views and claiming that she is not fit to teach children because of her thoughts on the subject. How far this nation has fallen. What a cesspool we have become.

But she is being persecuted by the public as opposed to by the churches. Many of the churches will cry out in indignation because this woman is being persecuted because of her religious beliefs, and well they should speak up in her defense. But these same churches will persecute many Christians in the near future when the true Christians speak up and tell the churches what cesspools they have become. The religious people will hate us when we tell them that they themselves have brought judgment upon the nation and upon themselves because they have turned away from the teachings of Christ and instead turned to the gospel of man. A gospel that teaches many nice stories about the Bible, that teaches the history of the Bible, the timeframe of the Bible, but ignores how God's word is a living word that He uses to accomplish that which He pleases and purposes. It is a living word that He uses to speak to us individually to instruct us, to guide us, to correct us, to give us hope, to help prepare us for what He is about to do. The Bible is not just about history lessons to be learned nor is it a dead word, but it is alive and living, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the bone and marrow. How many times have you been in a church where there was actually an anointing on the word being taught?

The churches also teach a gospel that lifts up mammon, telling us that we can have everything that our hearts desire. That God is a good God who just wants to bless us. That He is a loving Father who only wants to make us happy, just like Santa Claus. They don't teach about taking up our cross daily and carrying it. They don't teach about Paul's testimony that he was hungry, homeless, thirsty, in rags, poorly treated and in chains. They don't teach that the first thing God said about Paul was "I will show him how much he must suffer for the kingdom of Heaven". They don't teach about how Jesus said "He that does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple".

Ør, like Robert Jeffress, the pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, the church that I wrote about in a previous message "Taking a Stand", May 20, 2010, who condemns anyone who thinks differently than he does when he judged Mitch Romney to not be a Christian because he is part of a "cult". He doesn't understand that he is not this man's judge. Micah 6:8 states "What does God require of you man other than that you love justice, do kindness and walk humbly before the Lord your God." Now I don't know if Mitch Romney loves justice, does kindness and walks humbly before the Lord, and I can assure you that Robert Jeffress doesn't either. But I certainly cannot say that Romney is not a Christian because the Lord has not shown me his heart or anything about him. God does not condemn Romney because he is a part of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. God is concerned about Romney's heart. Robert Jeffress has made his heart known to all, and it is not good. There are many, many churches that believe that anyone different than them is going to hell. Do you think they will not persecute us when we speak the truth to them?

Then we have churches who are actively recruiting homosexuals and lesbians for not only membership, but also ordaining them into the ministry. Do you think they are not going to persecute us when we tell them in the years to come that they are part of the reason that God's wrath is being poured out upon this nation, because of their abominations?

What about 99% of the black churches who supported Obama simply because he was black, even though they knew that he was for abortion and for homosexuality? Do you think that they will not persecute us when we speak the truth to them about their foolishness when Obama surrenders this nation to the Russians before the end of his first and only term in office and they are once again forced into slavery? Do you think they will love us?

What about the "faith" churches who have been teaching their flocks lies about naming and claiming it, about believing it is their faith which causes things to happen, not God's power. Do you think they will not persecute us when we speak the truth to them while they are losing their wealth, their homes, their health, their jobs, their food? Do you think they will listen to us?

Just as Jesus and His apostles were persecuted by their own people, so also shall we be. Will God protect us during those times? Some He will, some He won't. Some will be put in prison, some sawn in two, some tortured - he that endures to the end will be saved.

Elenin

2011-09-21T19:49:00.002-05:00

For at least a year people have been sending me information on Elenin, the asteroid that is no bigger than a school bus that is supposed to cause all sorts of terrible things to happen in a few weeks once it is aligned with certain planets. My brothers and sisters, this is all utter nonsense, just like the Y2K scare eleven years ago. You can find charts all over the internet "proving" that Elenin, which will not even come near our moon, much less our planet, is going to wreak every kind of havoc imaginable on our planet. Supposedly the U.S. government knows all about it and is involved in a secret conspiracy to hide all this information from becoming public. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!! I can't stand any more of this foolishness!!

Elenin, Planet X, Niburu and all the other "secret" planetary blobs are not going to cause anything to happen to this planet. Anyone can get on You Tube and claim anything they want to and people will believe them. Remember the swine flu virus that was going to kill millions because the Illuminati and the New World Order wanted to destroy one-third of the world's population? Did it happen? No. Remember the swine flu shots were supposed to contain nanobots that would be injected into your bloodstream and enable the government to control your mind as well as track you everywhere you went and listen in on all your conversations? Remember the death trains that were supposed to carry you to the "secret" FEMA death camps where the U.S. government had secretly stored millions of guillotines that they were going to use to behead you? There was even a woman on You Tube dressed up in Army fatigues who claimed that the Army was secretly training troops to arrest those who refused the swine flu shots and force them onto the "death trains". Remember that jackass. Vincent Xavier, who claimed that God revealed to him that a nuclear bomb would be set off in Washington, D.C. last October but wouldn't be realized until November - and people were gullible enough to believe that kind of idiocy!

Enough of this foolishness! Enough of this nonsense! It's time most of you stayed off your computers 99% of the time and used your time for something worthwhile like prayer, reading the bible, reaching out to those who are hurting and in need, ministering to the lost, etc. Stay off of those stupid, supposedly "Christian" forums which are filled with nothing but absolute nonsense. I haven't found even one of those forums that I would want to participate in, not one. Instead of looking for answers on those abominable forums, look to your bibles for answers. All you are doing on those sites is wasting your time, and I am dead serious about that.

Please do not send me any more information on Elenin, Planet X, Niburu, the Illuminati, the New World Order or any of that stuff. It is all utter foolishness. If you want to believe it then that is your business. But I know that none of it has any validity at all.

Continuing Catastrophes

2011-09-01T14:33:00.006-05:00

In a message last year I spoke about how we would see catastrophe after catastrophe hit this nation. Then in July I wrote about how those things have been coming to pass and that they will only get worse. Then Hurricane Irene hit and we are now finding out that FEMA is almost out of emergency relief funds because they have spent the highest amount in their history for catastrophes that have occurred this year, and there are still four months left in 2011.

These "natural" disasters are going to get worse and worse. God has had enough of the wickedness in the USA and nothing will stop His judgment upon this land.

Let me correct something that I had written in this message originally. The Lord told me that there would be another hurricane that hit the U.S. "like the fist of God". However, He did not say that it would happen this year. I assumed that it would because we were in the middle of the hurricane season and it seemed likely that it would happen soon, but that was not something the Lord told me, that was my own incorrect assumption. It still could happen this year, but more than likely it will occur next year.

These "natural" disasters are going to get worse and worse. I believe that we are going to see another major hurricane hit this nation this year, probably in the next few weeks. This hurricane will slam into this country like the fist of God and will be much worse than Irene, and I don't believe that we will be prepared for it.

Next I believe that major earthquakes will begin to shake this nation to its very core. The one that hit the east coast a few weeks ago was nothing compared to what is coming. God has had enough of the wickedness in the USA and nothing will stop His judgment upon this land.

On another subject, last year I warned about the Gulf of Mexico exploding and causing horrific damage. When it didn't happen then I thought that my warning may have been premature, but that it would still happen, and it still might because I certainly don't understand God's timing or His ways. However, that was the only one of my messages that I have allowed anyone to influence me on, and that person's influence might not have been of the Lord. If I missed the Lord on that message then I repent and apologize to all of you. This I can assure you of that no one except the Lord will ever be allowed to have any influence on any of my messages in the future. I remember how I agonized for days over that warning before I wrote it, but I felt that if it were true then I needed to warn the people. The Gulf still may explode, but at this point I can honestly say that I don't know.

The Blessings of Suffering

2011-08-25T14:34:00.000-05:00

Yes, the title is correct, this message is about the blessings we get from the suffering we go through. No one wants to hurt, no one wants to feel pain, but it is something that many times God uses to bless us. His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God's blessings many times mean that we go through suffering so that we can be a blessing to others.

I remember the story from a number of years ago about a leader in the Southern Baptist Convention who's son developed AIDS from a blood transfusion. He immediately became a pariah in the Baptist Church - he was suddenly an outcast. People then didn't know as much about AIDS as we know today and they treated this man and his family as lepers. They were rejected and despised. They suffered horribly. But because of what they went through they are much better equipped to minister to others whom the churches have rejected and despised for numerous reasons. They understand the pain of others in ways much more intimately than they ever could have before. In God's way of thinking the pain they went through was a blessing because now they can better help others - their reward in Heaven will be great.

In my last message "Comforting the Grieving" I spoke about the pain I went through losing my little sister to cancer. I also talked about how now I can minister to others who are suffering from the loss of a loved one, something I could never have done before. In God's way of thinking the pain I went through was a blessing so that I was equipped to comfort others.

The rejection and abuse the churches have heaped upon me in the past 28 years has wounded me deeply, but it has enabled me to reach out to others and empathize with them when they have become disillusioned with, hurt, abused and rejected by churches. They saw the emptiness and lack of love in these churches, they saw people who were focused on everything but loving and helping their neighbor. Because of what I have been through I understand their pain and can help to comfort them, encourage them and build them back up - to show them the love and compassion of the Lord.

Back in 1988 I was at a church retreat in Prescott, AZ and during that weekend I asked a couple of the pastors to pray for me. I remember one of them praying "Lord, I pray that you will give Cliff a new heart to replace this severely wounded one of his". I told him "No, Jim, I don't want a new heart. I want some of these wounds healed, but not all of them because that way I will be more sensitive to the wounds in others." I don't really think I knew what I was saying then, I believe it was the Holy Spirit speaking through me - but it was for the greater good, so I could better minister to others because my heart would be very sensitive to their pain.

Believe me, I am no glutton for pain nor am I a masochist. I don't like suffering any more than anyone else. But when I look back upon what I have been through I can now see why God ordained that those things happened that way. Yes, He ordained that I go through all that, and many times He was the one sticking a knife in my heart. You don't believe that? Then you haven't read the Bible. Job 5:18 - For He inflicts pain and He gives relief; He wounds and He heals. Isa 30:26 - .. when the Lord binds up the bruises of His people and heals the wounds He inflicted. Most people see where it says that He heals but they totally miss the part that says that He wounds. The sons of God know that He wounds, children don't.

Our knowledge of God and His ways is comparable to a grain of sand in all the oceans of the universe, we know virtually nothing about Him and His thoughts and ways. The pain we go through that we think is from the evil one may very well be from God to bless us in the way He views blessings. We do not grow spiritually except by suffering nor do we mature as Christians unless we go through intense afflictions.

Romans 8:18 - "I do not consider that the suffering of the present is worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us". The glory can mean the love, compassion and mercy of the Lord that will flow through us to others because of the suffering we have been through. It can also mean the spiritual maturity that will result from our afflictions.

Now, lest you think I am a saint who praises God every time He wounds me, let me me very open and honest with you. There have been literally thousands times I have screamed and yelled at God in the last 28 years, times that I have complained bitterly, times that I have hated Him, despised Him because of the horrible suffering He was sending upon me. He was testing and trying me in the fires of afflictions. The pressure He was putting me under was absolutely horrific. Most "Christians" judged and condemned me for hurting and feeling angry at God. But as a 22-year old guy told me in 1986 "He is a big God and He can handle your emotions". So when I see people who are wounded, hurting and angry at God (the anger comes from the pain of the wounds that God has inflicted upon them) I simply comfort them, show them the love and compassion that so-called "Christians" won't. I let them know that God can handle their emotions and that He is not going to condemn them because of how they react to pain that He is inflicting upon them.

How do you get and refine gold? You pulverize a piece of rock then sift the gold out of it. You put the gold over intense heat for a long, long time until all the impurities are burned off. How is a diamond made? It is a lump of coal that is put under enormous pressure for eons and eons. The more pressure it is under and the longer the time, the purer the diamond. So also it is with us - the hotter the fire, the greater the pressure, the purer we will be. Yes, pain can be a blessing when we are able to see it from God's eyes.

I tend to personalize many of my writings with the experiences that I have been through. I have no doubt that the Lord wants it that way so that people can intimately relate to the intense feelings that I sometimes convey, feelings and experiences that they themselves may have had and not understood, and been judged and condemned by others because of those emotions. The Lord put me through those trying times so that I could use them to help others better understand why they may be going through great suffering, as well as, of course, to humble me, to mature me and prepare me for His service.

Comforting the Grieving

2011-08-21T20:37:00.001-05:00

As God's judgment continues to be poured out upon this nation it is going to get worse and worse - many will be killed in the catastrophes that are going to hit our land. Many families are going to lose loved ones - husbands, wives, children, parents, brothers, sisters and friends. The Lord will call many of us to reach out to those who have lost a family member and we need to know how to help them. But this message is also for the present time, for those who are going through grieving now or know someone who is. I am not a psychologist, and what I share with you is from my own personal experiences, how I learned to help those who are grieving.

When I lived in Tyler, TX I was a remodeling contractor and did much of my work through realtors. Many of them I grew close to as dear friends, some of them I loved as sisters that I never had growing up. One of those was Pam who I kind of adopted as my little sister. The Lord bonded our hearts together and I loved Pam very, very dearly - she was my little sis. I knew her for about a year when she was suddenly diagnosed with stomach cancer. Pam fought the cancer bravely and with every ounce of her strength for a year, but it killed her in October, 1998.

I have never known such pain, I was devastated. I cried several times a day for many, many months afterwards. I didn't know that such a darkness and emptiness existed. It was the darkest period of my life. What made it even worse was that God forced me to go through it all by myself, He would not allow ANYONE to reach out to me, to comfort me, to be there for me. Instead, I had to be there to help others who were also devastated by Pam's death. God made me go through the depth and darkness of grieving all alone, there was no one there to comfort me, no one. And I grieved to depths that I didn't know were possible, I didn't know such pain existed. But what I learned from this was how to give to others who are grieving what I needed but was not allowed to have. I knew how badly I needed someone to be there for me and with me, I felt the pain so deeply in my heart. What I didn't get I now give to others because I know how desperately they need it.

About eight months after Pam's death I volunteered at the Hospice of East Texas Homeplace, an inpatient facility for the terminally ill. I was there almost every Saturday and Sunday for almost a year helping the nurses, the patients and their families. I saw much pain, much grief while I was there, the same kind of pain that I had been through, and I was able to offer some little bits of comfort to a few of the people.

The things that help people who are grieving are simple things like hugs, a shoulder to cry on, someone to just be there with them and let them know you hurt for them. Never tell them you know how they feel, because you don't. I could tell them that I understand the pain, and when they looked in my eyes they knew that I did because they saw in my eyes that I had been through intense grief myself and that I could empathize with them.

There are other things you can do such as bringing them flowers, having them over for dinner (inviting then into your home is much better than inviting them out to a restaurant for dinner because most of them do not want to go into public places soon after the death of a loved one, they want privacy as opposed to being in public), going to visit them at their home, calling them to let them know you care and sending them sympathy cards and letters. Don't try to cheer them up because they cannot be cheered up at this time - just be there for them. But don't expect anything from them because they are emotionally incapable of giving it. Just let them grieve, let them cry, let them be angry at God (He's a big God and can handle their feelings and their anger. He's not going to be angry at them for it).

Telling them trite little phrases like "God needed them more than you do", or "they are with the Lord now", or "God called them home because......" are usually not comforting. Never tell them that grieving lasts for such and such a time and then you get better, because that is a lie. It also puts pressure on them to "get through" the grieving process in a specified period of time. Each and every person grieves in their own way for their own period of time, there are no rules for this, no set times. It has been thirteen years since Pam died and there are still times that I cry for her. Yes, the memories of her are precious to me and most of them are happy because she was such a joy to be around, but I would be lying if I said that the grief is gone, because it has never completely left me. So don't expect people to grieve for a specific period of time (like some books say) and then "get over it". Don't expect anything at all from them.

Yes, ministering to the grief-stricken is a very difficult thing, it hurts to see someone in so much pain, it brings back pain from your own losses. But being vulnerable and letting those who are grieving see that we ourselves have suffered loss and that we still hurt from it lets them know that what they are feeling is okay, that it is normal for what they have been through. It lets them know that they are not alone and that they are not going crazy, that others have been through similar pain and have survived through it. The pain that I still feel from losing Pam is obvious in this message. But in order to help others we have to be transparent, we have to leave ourselves open and vulnerable. That's the way Jesus was, open and vulnerable. Two of the most important words in the Bible are "Jesus wept".

As I write this I realize that this message will offer some degree of comfort to some of those who are reading it because they have lost loved ones and have had difficulty "living up" to how they were supposed to "heal" after a few months and "get on with their lives". If this has helped you then I feel that I have done something worthwhile in sharing what I have been through.

If there are any hospice professionals who read this and have more insight into this than I do, I would welcome your comments because this is to help others in their time of need.

Class Warfare

2011-08-12T13:25:00.000-05:00

In my last message I mentioned class warfare, which our liar-in-chief and his cronies are trying to incite with their continual "us against the rich" statements. The violence that is now happening in Great Britain is exactly that - class warfare. It is the have-nots against the "rich". It is those who are extremely jealous of others who have more than they do and they are reacting in anger and violence. These animals think they are entitled to whatever someone else has, even though they themselves have not earned it. It is a mob mentality, the emotions of savages, not human beings.

We will soon see this same class warfare erupt in this nation. If you own a business or live in a nice neighborhood I strongly suggest that you begin to take whatever measures you can to protect your families, property and businesses. The evil ones who are going to loose this violence upon this nation are without conscience or morals and will kill you and your family if they can, they will steal anything and everything of value. They are pure, absolute evil. I promise you that civil war is coming upon this nation by next year.

There Will Be No Recovery

2011-08-11T13:22:00.003-05:00

In June I posted a message about coming out of the eye of the storm. Now, two months later, we are seeing how the winds are coming from the opposite direction and how they are beginning to destroy our nation. Our credit rating has been downgraded and will continue to be downgraded further in the next year. We are so far in debt that it will be impossible to get out and all our fool-in-chief wants to do is tax and spend, tax and spend, tax and spend - we will not recover from this. By next year our economy will have completely collapsed.

The severe drought has spread to many states and that is going to raise the cost of food, gasoline (ethanol is mixed in gasoline and it is made from corn), clothing (which is made from cotton - much of our cotton crop will fail this year), water (because the reservoirs are drying up), and many other items. Inflation is beginning to rise and will continue to do so until we reach a state of hyperinflation.

The stock market is in steep decline in the last few days and by next year it will bottom out. Fortunes will be lost, businesses will close, jobs will be lost. According to the economic indicators in the last three months we are heading into a double-dip recession. By next year we will see another great depression worse than the one in the 1930s.

Consumer confidence is low and people are not buying as much because they are worried about money and their jobs. Since they are not buying as much as they used to the supply side of the market is not producing as much - fewer jobs are created. Unemployment is "officially" at 9.1%, but that doesn't include the millions who have dropped completely out of the job market because they couldn't find jobs.

The people of this nation continue to believe in an imaginary money tree, thinking that the good times and the "free entitlements" will never end - how badly mistaken they are. When 48% of the people pay not one cent in federal income taxes yet demand more in the way of "entitlements" and services, demanding that "the rich" pay more in taxes, this nation has truly lost its way. We are headed for great civil unrest when there is no more money for "entitlements" because the country has gone bankrupt. Our liar-in-chief and his cronies are doing everything they can to promote class hatred and class warfare.

These days are not somewhere in the future, they have already begun and will only get worse. God has declared that His judgment will destroy this once-great nation, and it will. We are only beginning to see how this country will financially collapse because of the fiscal irresponsibility of our government that has been building for many, many years. Also, we are just beginning to see the great, God-caused, "natural" catastrophes that will be a big part of the destruction of this country - and they will only get worse.

This was a very, very difficult message for me to write, I did not want to do it. My heart is very heavy and there is great sadness within me. But I know that God put it upon my heart so I have no choice but to write it. I wish I could say "God bless America", but I can't - we have too far gone down the path of unrighteousness.

Done In Darkness

"That which is done in darkness shall be brought to light".

Most people associate that verse with evil deeds done in darkness which will, in God's timing, be brought to light - and this is one meaning of this verse. However, the Lord showed me another, positive meaning for this verse. Remember, it is God's word which He uses to accomplish what He pleases and purposes.

There are many of you who are fervent prayer warriors, your work is done in the darkness of your prayer closets and few ever know what you are doing. Few ever recognize you for the spiritual battles that you are doing in secret. Few ever know how much you have accomplished for others by your fervent prayers. Few ever see what you are doing. But God does.

In due time what you have accomplished in your prayer closets will be brought to light and your rewards in heaven will be great. The Lord Himself will greatly honor you for what you have done. So, my brothers and sisters, continue the mighty work you are now doing in secret, for one day your wonderful deeds will be brought to light. For those who fervently pray for me, I thank you very much.

Judgment Continues

2011-07-12T18:36:00.001-05:00

Thus far in 2011 we have seen catastrophic tornadoes, catastrophic floods and catastrophic wildfires. Now we have an extreme drought in fourteen southern and southwestern states that will be a catastrophic event as well. In today's news this weather event was said to be leading to another Dust Bowl like the one in the 30s. The weather forecasters blame it on a La Nina weather pattern, they have no idea that it is part of God's judgment upon this nation. This drought is similar to the one in the 30s that hammered an already weakened nation. We recovered from that, but we will not recover from this.

The latest news regarding this drought is quite alarming because it means that crops are not growing which means food shortages and higher food prices on the horizon. Also caused by the drought are shortages of hay used to feed cattle and corn used to feed pigs, as well as water for these herds, which means that ranchers will be forced to sell their herds because they cannot afford to feed and water them. That will mean temporarily lower meat prices, but only for a very short time, then prices will skyrocket. Chicken feed will become more expensive thus raising the prices of chickens and eggs. Cotton crops are being devastated which means higher prices for clothing and other cotton products.

On the other side of the nation the effects of the extremely heavy snowfall this past winter in Montana, Wyoming and Idaho are still causing problems in those states because of the great amount of water still coming from the snowmelt in the mountains. The damage from the recent floods up there was great, but the effects are still lingering. The rivers are still high which means that fishing up there is almost non-existant and raft tours are virtually impossible. Business up there in these areas is dramatically off because of the lack of tourists who usually flock to those states for summer vacation fishing and rafting. More businesses will close, more people will lose their jobs and eventually their homes. More people will be in need of social services which will add to the already great economic problems of our nation. This nation will not recover.

These things are simply more of God's judgment upon this wicked and perverse nation - and His judgment will only get worse. You must continue to press into the Lord for wisdom and guidance in what are becoming very perilous times.

Coincidence?

2011-06-30T12:55:00.001-05:00

Last year the Obamination declared June as "Gay Pride Month". This year June was one of the worst months in our nation's history for wildfires. Coincidence? I think not. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire also.

Lessons From Job

2011-06-21T14:23:00.000-05:00

What did Job do to cause all those problems to come upon him? Who sent all those troubles upon Job, and why? Did Job's "friends" seek to comfort him?

Much has been written and preached about why all those terrible things happened to Job - 99% of those teachings accusing Job of some sin that caused God to punish him so horribly. So I ask "What did Job do to warrant all his suffering"? Let's look at what the Bible says regarding this.

Job 1:1 - There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil. Hmmm, well that certainly doesn't tell us what a horrible person Job was.

Job 1:8 - And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil. Hmmm, even God didn't find anything wrong with Job, did He? Yet, most of the "wise" teachers and pastors in today's churches can find something to accuse Job of, even though God didn't. Who do you think is right, God or the "wise men" of today.

Let me ask you another question. Was it satan who brought up the subject of Job or was it God? Look at Job 1:8 - "And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil." It was obviously God who brought up the subject of Job to satan. Why? Only God knows? God could find nothing to accuse Job of and neither could satan. What kind of game was God playing with satan? Why did God bring up Job? There are no answers to these questions because only God knows.

After many terrible things came upon Job, then we have this happening. Job 2:3 - "And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause". Even through all this Job knew that he had done nothing to cause all this. Then God Himself told satan that he, satan, had moved God against Job to destroy him without cause. In other words, it was God who sent all the troubles upon Job. You don't believe that? Then look at Job 42:11 - "Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him". That says it pretty clearly that it was God who sent all the evil upon Job.

When Job was going through all his suffering what did his "friends" do to comfort him? They were sitting there with Job until job opened his mouth to pour out his pain. Once he was foolish enough to open his heart and tell his "friends" about his pain and how badly he was hurting, that was when they decided to show him how much they loved him and how wise they were. No doubt they thought they were "helping" him. That was when they began to dump upon him and accuse him of everything under the sun. They were so wise that they knew that God would not send all this suffering upon Job unless he had done something to deserve it. They waited until Job was vulnerable and in great pain to tell him what a horrible person he was and about all the terrible sins he had committed. They waited until he was in a weakened condition to try and stick knives in his heart. They were like the "wise" ones of today who will say "Speaking the truth in love, brother...." When someone tells you that, run away from them as fast and as far as you can.

Sounds just like the "Christians" of today, doesn't it? When things are going fine, when you're happy, successful and doing well, then all your "Christian friends" want to be around you and tell you how wonderful you are, how great God is. But woe unto you when you are feeling down and hurting and are foolish enough to open your heart and let these same people know you are in pain. They will then take that opportunity to tell you all the things that God is punishing you for, how He is dealing with you about some sin in your life, how you missed God along the way and have gone off His path. The one thing they will not do is love and comfort you, just like Jobs "friends" didn't.

I know this from hundreds of personal experiences over the past 29 years when my "Christian friends" have done exactly the same things to me. I know it from others whom I have had to love, comfort, encourage and build up after the religious people did the same things to them. I have seen these very things in many, many churches over the years. I have seen people come into the church wounded and hurting and the "wonderful, wise Christians" in the churches either avoid them or want to sit down with then and "counsel" them what they did wrong to cause God to send this pain upon them. Or they tell them that they should not come to church expecting or hoping for their needs to be met. I have seen many people leave the churches because they went there looking for love and comfort and found none.

When I lived in Tyler, Tx a few years ago I had a neighbor who had lost her 35 year old son to a brain aneurysm unexpectedly. He was alive one minute, then dead the next. Poor Barbara was devastated, torn to pieces, her heart shattered. Four years later she was still in great pain, which is normal in a situation where a parent has lost a child. She was talking to a "spirit-filled Christian friend" of her's and telling that "friend" that she was still mad at God about Him taking her son from her. This "wonderful. wise, spirit-filled Christian friend" then told her "Well Barbara, maybe God is dealing with you about something". How wise! How loving! How comforting! How Christian. This stupid jackass named Juanita might as well as have taken a knife and stuck it into Barbara's heart!! Barbara learned a hard and bitter lesson not to open up her heart to "Christian friends" again. I was the only person she knew she could tell this story to and how much it angered and hurt her. Personally, I wanted to go slap the hell out of Juanita and tell her what a fool she was. Instead I hugged Barbara and let her know that her feelings were okay and that she didn't need to feel guilty about them, that He is a big God and can handle our emotions.

What lessons do we need to learn from all this? When someone is going through hard times, whether it be emotionally, spiritually or financially, we are not to try and understand God's reasons for it because we can't. "For His ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. As far as the sun is from the moon are His ways higher than our ways and His thoughts higher than our thoughts." We are not to criticize them, judge them or condemn them. We are to comfort, encourage and build them up. We are to love them.

Yes, there are times when people are in obvious sin and the Bible tells us how to handle that. But most of the time we will not know what God is doing with someone, why He is putting them through such misery. He tests us and tries us in the fires of affliction. But it is not for us to judge in these situations, it is only our responsibility to love them, to comfort them, to encourage them, and to build them up.

Next we see Job arguing with God and daring Him to tell him what he did wrong to cause all the horrible suffering God sent upon him. What was God's response to Job? Basically He told Job "Job, I am God, I created the world, I created you. Who are you to question Me?" Then Job repented of questioning God, admitting that he did not understand Him. Then God rebuked Job's "friends".

Yes, we see at the end of Job that God restored him and gave him more children and possessions. But you need to know this, when a parent loses a child, or in Job's case ten children, it doesn't matter how many more children God gives you, the pain of losing those other children never, ever, ever goes away. That pain remains with you the rest of your lives.

2012 Presidential Election

2011-06-15T21:54:00.001-05:00

Many are speculating about next year's election - who will run against Obama and who will win. This I can tell you for an absolute certainty, Obama will lose next year's election. In a previous message "A Nation Of Gluttons", I wrote this:
"In Tom Clancy's latest fiction novel "Dead Or Alive", he says about a mythical President (even though he did not know he was speaking prophetically). 'So what happens when a weak man of flawed character is faced with a cascade of catastrophes? He crumbles of course, and with him the nation'. So also will Obama, a weak man of flawed character, crumble when God's wrath is poured out upon this nation shortly".

He will crumble for the whole nation to see and they will not re-elect him, for they will see the true measure of him. But that is no cause for rejoicing. Before he leaves office on January 20, 2013, Obama will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians after they hit us with a nuclear attack after the solar storms have hit our nation and blinded our satellites and left us defenseless. By 2013 this nation will be under a Russian military dictatorship. Obama will no longer be a factor in this nation or the world. He will be utterly disgraced, as will this nation.

These things are going to happen and there is no turning back. God had made His decision and His will will be done. So all the worrying and guessing regarding the elections next year is fruitless. The outcome has already been decided by the Lord. It would be much better that you spend your time in prayer and the Bible, asking the Lord to show you what you, individually, are to do to prepare for what is coming. He might not give you answers immediately, but if you persist in prayer and the Bible the answers will come when it is His time.

Coming Out Of The Eye Of The Storm

2011-06-06T19:50:00.001-05:00

With last week's dismal stock market downturn, the pathetic numbers of new jobs created causing the unemployment rate to jump up to 9.1%, the housing market in steep decline and other factors which show people losing confidence in what the Obama administration calls the "economic recovery", I feel that we are now coming out of the eye of the storm that we have been sitting in for some time now - http://watchman2009.blogspot.com/2010/10/still-in-eye-of-storm.html.

Now the class 5 hurricane force winds will come from the other direction and completely destroy the economy of this nation.What that means exactly I do not know except that we will see hyperinflation in ways that we never expected and a depression much worse than the Great Depression. How do you prepare for this? Pray, pray, pray and pray some more asking the Lord what He wants you specifically to do. There is no blanket answer regarding this, it is as the Lord wills for each person, each family.

Last year I wrote a message which was titled Catastrophe Upon Catastrophe in which I stated that judgment had already begun and was going to get worse and worse. It started off with deadly weather events and mass killings. This year the weather events have gotten much deadlier and much more destructive. They will continue to get deadlier and more destructive as the year goes on. Little by little we are becoming a nation of refugees. Little by little our farmlands and crops are being destroyed by great floods and tornadic winds, by severe droughts in many areas of the nation as well as huge wildfires in several states. Little by little all these things are adding up to great destruction. Little by little our food supply is dwindling and the price of food is shooting up. These things are not going to improve regardless of what the Liar-In-Chief and his cronies say on television, they are only going to get worse.

God's warnings ended last year and the only thing coming is judgment and destruction. As I have so many times before, I beg you to turn off the idiot boxes, quit spending your days on your computers looking for more "warnings" from false prophets and other deceivers, and turn to the Lord in prayer and spend more time in your bibles. Prayer and the bible are the only sources that will help you prepare for what is coming. Speculating about foolishness like the Illuminati, the New World Order, the Bilderberg Group, the Nephilim, UFOs and aliens is utter nonsense and a complete waste of time - those things are not from the Lord, only from men's foolish imaginations. Spend your time usefully - in prayer and your bibles.

(Yes, there is a Bilderberg Group, it is made up of some of the most successful businessmen in the world, along with several politicians. But its goal is NOT to control the world or even the markets.)

The Time Has Come

2011-06-04T16:34:00.001-05:00

This is a letter I wrote to Obama in March of last year, a letter which he read but disregarded. The time has come for these words of the Lord to be fulfilled.

A Letter to Obama

This is a copy of the letter I mailed to Barack Obama today.

Clifford T. Hilbert
P.O. Box 831293
Richardson, TX 75083

Barack Obama
1600 Pennsylvania Ave
Washington, D.C. 20500

March 1, 2010

The following words are from the Lord God Almighty to you, Barack Obama. They are not my words, I am only the messenger.

Jer 4:5-9 - 5 "Announce in Judah and proclaim in Jerusalem and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the LORD, "the king and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled."

Jer 4:22 - "My people are fools, they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. You, Barack Obama, are skilled in doing evil; you know not how to do good."

Jer 27-28 -This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back."

Jer 6-7 - This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.

Jer 6:13-17, 19 - From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.'19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.

Jer 7:27-29, 34 -27 "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath. 34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.

Jer 8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'

Jer 11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.

Jer 13: 18, 21-25 - Say to the king and to the queen mother, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads.” 21 What will you say when the LORD sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"— it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian [b] change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the LORD, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.”

Jer 15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country.14 I will enslave you to your enemies in [a] a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.

Jer 16:9, 13, 18 - 9 For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place. 13 So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.' 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols."

Jer 17:4 - Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever."

Jer 22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to."

Jer 25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword [e] of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger

Jer 50:31 - "See, I am against you, O arrogant one," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty, "for your day has come, the time for you to be punished.

Isa 1:4, 15, 21 23, 31- . 4 Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the LORD; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. 15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers! 23 Your rulers are rebels, companions of thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. 31 The mighty man will become tinder and his work a spark; both will burn together, with no one to quench the fire."

Isa 2:11-12 - 11 The eyes of the arrogant man will be humbled and the pride of men brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day. 12 The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled),

Isa 3:9, 11 - 9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves. 11 Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Isa 5:20-21 - 20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble."

Isa 22:19 - 19 I will depose you from your office, and you will be ousted from your position.

“Barack Obama, keep your hands off My Holy Land!”

Personally, I pray that God will block every effort you make, no matter how small. People have asked me if you are the Antichrist, but I have told them that you are not THE Antichrist, but you are AN antichrist. There is no truth in you. Enclosed is a prophetic message for this nation that the Lord gave me last March, it is titled “The Destruction of the USA.” Every word of it will come to pass, including the passage where I stated that you will bow your knees in surrender to the Russians before the end of your first and only term in office.

A Stench In God's Nostrils

2011-05-20T13:50:00.001-05:00

This is an excerpt from msnbcnews.com. today:

"More than half of Americans say same-sex marriage should be legal, garnering the same rights as traditional marriages, according to a newly released Gallup poll showing for the first time since Gallup began tracking the issue in 1996 support by a majority of Americans."

The story goes on to say that 53% of Americans now support homosexual and lesbian marriages. This nation has become an absolute stench in God's nostrils! We have become more and more like Sodom and Gomorrah as the years have gone by. And, as in the days of Noah, the people are partying, gorging themselves, turning to their wicked and perverse ways, even encouraged to do so by our evil governmental leaders, especially the president himself.

As we knew he was going to, the Obamination has called for the splitting of Jerusalem. As I said in an earlier message, this is going to cause the worst earthquake this world has ever seen, splitting this nation in two. - and it is coming shortly, I believe within a few months.

My brothers and sisters the time is very, very short. We are the last generation of this age and we are in the last days. I beg of you to turn to your bibles and turn to your prayer life more and more, they are the only things that will get you through the days ahead. God have mercy on His servants.

Bin Laden Dead

2011-05-02T07:57:00.000-05:00

Yes, it is good news that the world's #1 terrorist has been killed and much of the world is rejoicing. Yet there is a great heaviness in my spirit regarding this, a dark and deep forboding that this marks the beginning of the worst terrorist acts that the world has ever seen.

Yesterday, in a comment on my message "Calm Turns To Horror", Lance Libat made this comment "The rollercoaster has inched over the last strut at the top, and the downward plunge in imminent". I believe we reached that point yesterday with the killing of Bin Laden.

Calm Turns To Horror

2011-05-01T08:51:00.000-05:00

That was a headline I saw on the news today and it is what is about to shortly happen here in this country. The prophets have warned and warned, but few have listened, few have repented and turned from their wicked and evil ways. The churches don't preach repentance and warning, they don't preach humility, they don't teach love, they have no idea what is about to happen - the sheep's blood will be upon the hands of the shepherds.

The nation as a whole continues to go down the path to destruction, spiritually and financially. There will be no turning back. The Lord has spoken as to what is going to happen and His words will be fulfilled in short order. The calm we are now seeing in the nation will suddenly turn to horror, just as it did when the tornadoes hit the South this past week.

Seek the Lord while He may be found.

David Wilkerson

2011-04-28T21:03:00.000-05:00

David Wilkerson died yesterday in a traffic accident in East Texas. David was God's foremost prophet to this nation for almost 40 years. As most prophets, he was rejected, scorned, abused and ridiculed by his own brethren, those who call themselves "Christians". Although David probably got more than his share of rejection because he was God's most visible prophet in this nation.

His most well-known book was "The Cross And The Switchblade", but he also wrote several prophetic books as well - warnings to this nation - the most notable of which were "The Vision", "The Vision And Beyond" and "Set The Trumpet To Thy Mouth". Some of his prophecies have already come to pass but most of them are about to happen soon. As He did with most of His prophets, the Lord called David home before he saw most of his words fulfilled. He now has his well-earned reward. Please pray God's comfort upon his wife and children.

Thank you David and God bless you.

Pray For Our Police

2011-03-21T12:20:00.000-05:00

Yesterday in Wisconsin another police officer was shot and killed.Another officer whose spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters will never see them again. Another family that will mourn their loss. There seems to be almost an epidemic of the murders of police officers in the last few months with one or two being killed every other day or so. These men and women are out there on the streets to protect each and every one of us, their jobs are not easy. Each and every day they must deal with the basest and most dangerous parts of our society. The abuse they take and put up with is something most of us can't fathom. Their jobs are dangerous and will continue to get more dangerous as violence continues to increase in our nation.

Please keep our police and their families in your prayers. Pray for the protection of the angels of the Lord, for the Lord and His angels are the only ones who can protect them. Please also pray for the families of the slain officers. Thank you.

Time to prepare

2011-03-15T17:22:00.000-05:00

Before this time I have not felt led to tell people that the time for preparation is immediate. But after the recent earthquake in Japan I feel the Lord wants me to tell you that IT IS TIME. The time for the beginning of the destruction of the USA is very, very near and if you possibly can, you now need to begin storing up supplies for that time. I feel an urgency in my spirit that I had not felt before. No, there is no reason for fear, this is just the time to begin preparing in earnest.

As I was looking at videos of Japan on my computer the last few days one of the things I noticed was people lining up at grocery stores, waiting to be given a chance to get in and purchase what little was available. I remember David Wilkerson saying in his warning that grocery stores empty in a matter of hours after a major catastrophe. That will happen here when an earthquake splits this nation along the New Madrid Fault - an earthquake that will register over 10 on the Richter Scale and will cause destruction like the world has never seen before. What happened in Japan will seem like a minor tremor compared to what is about to happen here.

How much should you store up? At least 30 days worth, more if you can. Begin making a list of the things you use every day - food, water, toiletries, paper towels, feminine supplies, medical supplies, laundry supplies, candles, flashlights and batteries, etc. These items will be in short supply all over the nation within hours after the quake hits. Electricity will be sporadic in many areas of the nation during that time, so prepare for that the best you can as the Lord leads you.

Not everyone will be able to financially afford to do this - that is where faith comes in. The Lord will provide for most of us what we need to exist on - most of us, but not all. Some of His people will suffer terribly during this time. Remember Paul's testimony that he was hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags and poorly treated - that will be the testimony of many of you during the days to come, he that endures to the end will be saved.

The Rapture

2011-02-21T20:37:00.002-06:00

When I was raised a Catholic in New Orleans I wasn't taught anything about a "rapture", of course I wasn't taught much about the Bible either. Then, when I was 27 I committed my life to the Lord and began going to Bible studies taught by people who had graduated from Dallas Theological Cemetery (yes, that is a play on words) and going to Bible churches. They all taught that we would be raptured out of here before the Great Seven Year Tribulation Period began. I remember so many people who used to tell me that they were "waiting for the Rapture". They all believed that they would not be going through the Tribulation. They were all lied to.

The Rapture doctrine is a lie. The Bible promises that some of us will, in the last days, be persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, sawn in two and put to death - HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.

Rev 6: 9-11 - When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. ¹⁰ They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” ¹¹ Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been. -   Verse 11 clearly states that many brethren will be killed during this time.

Rev 7:9-17 - ⁹ After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. ¹⁰ And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne,and to the Lamb.” ¹¹ All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, ¹² saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
¹³ Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
¹⁴ I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. ¹⁶ ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. ¹⁷ For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” - I don't know how much clearer God can make it that we will not be raptured before the Tribulation.

Rev 2: 10 - Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.

Rev 13: 5-10 - The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. ⁶ It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. ⁷ It was given power to wage war against God’s holy people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. ⁸ All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear ¹⁰ “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people.

Rev 14:12-13 - This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. ¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”    “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.

Rev 20:4 - I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Many of us who are living today will be going through the Great Tribulation. Many will be persecuted, imprisoned beheaded and put to death in horrible ways. Many of us living today will be here to see Jesus' return. I believe that once the USA, the most powerful nation on earth and Israel's defender, is destroyed then the Great Tribulation will begin. This nation's destruction will begin in earnest next year, although we could see major catastrophes happen this year as well. When will the USA's destruction be complete? Probably in 2013.

Yes, we are that close. that is why it is imperative that you develop a close. personal relationship with the Lord NOW. If you delay, it will be too late.

Hearing the Voice of the Lord

2011-02-19T18:34:00.000-06:00

How does God speak to you , to me, to others? I will tell you some of the many ways that He does speak to us, but I don't know all of them. He uses different means for different people.I will relate to you the many ways that He has spoken to me over the years because those I know from personal experience. But these are certainly not all the ways He uses.

The first time He ever spoke to me was on New Years Eve, 1982 through tongues and interpretations that came from an elder and his wife in a church I was attending at the time - it was a message that gave me hope. The next time was through a prophetess whom I didn't know, but who knew of me through someone else. It was a word of comfort, encouragement and was uplifting, I cried when I received it. The next time He spoke to me, and the first time He Himself spoke directly to me, was one morning in my prayers in March of 1983 when He spoke to me through although not an audible voice, it was very clear that He had spoken directly to me. His words were "Exodus 10:1". I opened up my bible to Ex 10:1 and it was God speaking to Moses telling him "Go to the Pharaoh for I have hardened his heart that I might perform these signs and wonders among my people." He was using this verse to tell me that He Himself had hardened the heart of a woman I loved very dearly and wanted to marry. He had His own reasons and purposes for that, but it wasn't her doing - He had hardened her heart.

He spoke to me through prophets several times over the next few months, always words of comfort, encouragement and were uplifting, as well as letting me know some of the things He had planned for my life. Let me throw in something here that is off the topic but extremely important for you to know. If anyone ever comes to you and tells you that they have a word from the Lord for you and that "word" is not comforting, encouraging and uplifting, then it is not from the Lord. If it is troubling to you, it is not from the Lord. In my role as a prophet I can give a rebuke to leaders of churches and ministries or the proud and arrogant, but never to someone who is a humble servant of the Lord.The bible says that the gift of prophecy is for "comfort, encouragement and building up" - if it is used otherwise, it is used incorrectly.

Over the same period He would speak to me through bible verses, verses that He clearly wanted me to take as His personal direction as well as promises to me, although these were never in an audible voice, I just knew that he was using them to speak to me. He spoke to me simply as I was reading through the bible, I was not looking for anything specific, I was just reading the bible and I knew when a particular verse was something He was using to speak to me. The bible is His personal message to each one of us and it is imperative that we read all of it as much as we can so that He can use different verses to speak to us individually.

Then I remember a period in 1983 when I would be sitting down with a worship album on and just spending time with the Lord. He would begin to speak in a still, small voice, messages which I wrote down. It was certainly not a voice that I could hear, rather it was Him speaking to my mind. It was an awesome thing to know that God is truly a personal God who does want to speak to us individually. That period lasted only a few weeks and it has never happened again.

The way that He speaks to me most often, and the same way He uses for most, is through an impression, a leading, a still small voice. I remember in late 1983 I came home form church and was all ready to watch the playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and their hated rivals the Washington Redskins. The game was a good game, well into the second quarter, when God said into my spirit "Come worship Me". What!!! But this is an important game!! I've been waiting for this game!!! Nonetheless I turned off the tv and put on a worship album and spent probably two hours with the Lord. When He finally let me turn the tv back on the game was over and the Cowboys had lost!! Talk about disappointed!! I at least thought that He would let my team win!! Obedience does not always bring us the rewards we hope for.

That still, small voice is what He uses to speak to most of us, that and the bible. If you truly want to hear from the Lord you need to be reading His Word and spending time with Him. That means also that you need to put aside your pride and preconceived notions of what God is like and how He does things. He is not going to speak to you upon demand when you think He should and how you think He should, He is going to do it when and how He wants to. If you are not reading the bible regularly you will be missing most of His directions for yourself.

He also speaks to us through dreams and visions. I have had numerous dreams and visions over the years and it was also usually years before He gave me the meanings of them. Although in the past year, especially the last few months, He has given me interpretations of my dreams within a few days or weeks. He always uses others to give me these interpretations. These dreams and visions can be of things that may be about to happen to this nation or other places in the world, to people you know or know of, or people you don't even know yet, or to you individually. Or they may be to help you better understand things that the Lord wants you to know about past events in your lives or to help you better understand he has planned for you in the future. Or they can be used to help you see more clearly things He wants you to know about yourself and others. And He can also use them to confirm things to you.

It has been years since I have heard His voice, years since He has actually spoken to me. Instead He speaks through me as I talk to others and as I sit down to type these messages. How does He guide me then? With His eyes. No, I really can't explain it better than that, but it was what He told me back in 1983 that He was going to do. Sometimes He has spoken to me through others to encourage or give me hope.

There are other ways that the Lord speaks to us that I am not aware of, but I know that some of you are. So if you'd care to share them in the "Comments" section I know that you will help others to know more ways that the Lord speaks to and guides us.

Trials and Tribulations

2011-02-09T18:38:00.000-06:00

This message could also be titled "Waiting Upon The Lord", because it is about all the trials, tribulations and suffering we go through waiting upon the Lord to fulfill His promises to us, to use us as He told many of us that He would. Are you wondering what you're doing wrong to warrant all this suffering? Are you wondering why God is not using you as you thought He would? Are you wondering what you must do to step into the ministry He called you to many years ago? Well, you're not alone.

Today's theology tells you that you have to have enough faith to appropriate all that God has for you. It tells you that you must cause good things to happen by your positive confession and faith. It tells you that God doesn't want you to suffer, and if you are suffering it is because God is dealing with you about something (translated, that means that God is punishing you for some unknown sin in your life, or a lack of faith). The "great" pastors and teachers will tell you that you have to "step into" the ministry God has called you to, take it by force, make it happen.

My brothers and sisters, those are all lies. Let's look at how God actually does things to those He has called to His service. When Moses was forty years old he knew that he was going to deliver his people from Egypt. But what happened next? He fled Egypt and settled in another country and forgot about being his people's deliverer. Forty years later God called Moses to go back to Egypt and deliver the Lord's people from bondage. What was Moses response? "Not me Lord, I'm too old, I can't speak, etc". Did Moses "appropriate" God's promises to cause him to be his people's deliverer? Nope! Did Moses "have enough faith" to be the Jews' deliverer? Nope. It was certainly nothing that Moses did to cause this to come about, it was what God did regardless of whether Moses wanted it or not.

How about David? When he was eighteen he was anointed as king of Israel by the prophet. Did David go about telling all the people that he was now king of Israel? Did he have enough "faith" to step into the kingship? Did he demand his new position as king? Nope. Instead he served Saul by playing the harp for him. He became a mighty warrior for Israel. He served his king and country well with no intentions of "working his way" onto the throne. While he was being faithful his king began to hate him and tried to kill him, forcing David to flee for his life. He experienced great persecution because of his faithfulness and humility. But thirteen years later when it was God's time, God placed him in the position He chose for David years before. David had intentionally done nothing to cause that to happen. It was something God did to fulfill the word He had spoken to David years before.

Joseph is probably the best example of all. When he was eighteen he had a dream of the sun and moon and eleven stars bowing down to him. We know what happened next, his brothers sold him into slavery. Joseph eventually worked himself into a position of trust and responsibility in Potiphar's house because he served him well and faithfully. Joseph no doubt felt that his years of misery were over. Then Potiphar's wife falsely accuses Joseph and Joseph is put into prison. Can you imagine the bitter disappointment he must have felt, how hurt he was, how painful it must have been, how angry he must have been at being accused falsely?

In prison Joseph is raised up by the :Lord and given great responsibility and authority. He must have been thinking "The Lord is getting ready to take me out of here and vindicate me!" Then the chief cup bearer and the baker have dreams that Joseph interprets for them and he asks the chief cup bearer to remember him to the king when he gets out of prison. The cup bearer forgets about Joseph when he gets out. Can you imagine how bitterly disappointed Joseph was again, how devastated he was?

Two years later the king has a dream and the cup bearer finally remembers Joseph. At last Joseph is taken out of prison and put as second in command in all of Egypt. He had to wait thirteen years to be vindicated. Then some time later his brothers came to Egypt and eventually his whole family, who do bow down before Joseph as his dream had said. Joseph now knew that God had put him through all that suffering to preserve the remnant of his own people during the difficult times that lay ahead.

God has promised many of us many things for years now. But instead of the fulfillment of those promises, all we've seen have been trials, tribulations, suffering beyond belief, bitter disappointment after bitter disappointment. We've been judged, condemned and rejected by our fellow "Christians" who have no understanding of what God is doing. We've wanted to give up many, many times, but God would not let us.We were told by pastors, teachers and "Christians" that God was a good God and He didn't want us to suffer, that He just wanted to bless us. That if we just had enough faith that we could have everything that God wanted us to have. Or, if we would just learn the lesson that God was trying to teach us, then He would take us out of the pit and put us on the mountaintop. We even tried to do some of the things they suggested but found out that it didn't matter what we did, the situation did not change. Bitter disappointment after bitter disappointment after bitter disappointment.

Take heart my brethren because your waiting has not been in vain. God has been testing, trying, maturing, preparing and strengthening us during these times of great suffering. Believe it or nor He has been building our faith and trust in Him to great levels. He has been teaching us to hear His voice and to be led by His Spirit and not by man. He has been preparing us to handle great responsibilities and authority in the near future. He is about to begin fulfilling the specific things He promised us years ago. Moses had to wait forty years, David thirteen years and Joseph thirteen years. I've been waiting twenty-eight years for Him to fulfill even one of the many promises that He made to me back in 1983. But is there any choice other than to wait upon the Lord?

He is preparing many of us to be able to lead those whom the churches and teachers have lied to an misled with all their false doctrines - to lead them to the truth so that they don't lose their faith and thus, their souls during the time of horrors that God is about to unleash upon this nation. We will lead many to places of refuge and safety, to preserve the holy remnant and prepare them to become the bride of Christ, for He is coming soon! Some we will help prepare for great persecution, imprisonment, torture and even death because of their faith. What an awesome task and responsibility this will be! When all is said and done, we will understand what a great thing God has done by sending us through the hell that we have been through.

God's ways are not our ways, neither is His timing our timing. His timing is perfect according to His plan, not our plans. What He requires of us is that we obey Him and wait upon Him.

Prophetic Words and Dream Interpretations

2011-02-07T22:51:00.009-06:00

Many people have asked me to seek a prophetic word for them from the Lord and 99% of the time I have not been able to oblige them. Personal prophetic words are not something that the Lord gives me for people, with rare exceptions. That is simply not a large part of my ministry. Sometimes people have related dreams to me and every now and then the Lord gives me the meaning of them, but usually only in part. I truly wish that I could help my brothers and sisters in that way, but it is not something that the Lord has given me the spiritual insight to do on a regular basis.

It is extraordinarily rare that I will ever refer anyone to another person to receive a prophetic word or dream interpretation because there are very, very few people whom I trust in that respect. And unless I trust someone without reservation, I will not refer anyone to them. Unless I know a person's heart and spirit, I won't refer anyone to them. Unless I know that they are true, humble and godly servants of the Lord, I will not refer anyone to them. Unless I know that their prophetic words and dream interpretations are from the Lord, I will not refer anyone to them. I am extremely cautious in those areas.

Over the past few months I have come to know Mark and Julie Moore of Revival-Fire Church, http://www.revivalfirechurch.net/ Mark is a true apostle of the Lord and Julie is a true prophet of the Lord. They had pastored a church in California for 21 years until the Lord sent them to La Feria, TX recently to bring revival to that area (maybe the Lord Himself has already given up on California, lol). These two people are true, humble and godly servants of the Lord whose desire is to care for His flock. Their hearts are pure and their spirits are without a doubt of the Lord. They are both peacemakers who walk in the wisdom, knowledge and revelation of the Lord. But most importantly they are filled with the love of the Lord, the real, pure, gentle love of the Lord, something that is truly rare to find in people. They seek no notoriety, fame, riches or honor for themselves, they only seek to serve the Lord.

Part of their ministry is personal prophetic words and dream interpretations. I don't seek personal prophetic words anymore because I have received too many false ones over the years. But if I were to seek one, I would contact Mark and Julie - I trust them that much,completely and without reservation. I know that they would hear correctly from the Lord. I can personally attest that they hear from the Lord regarding dream interpretations because they have interpreted several for me and I know absolutely that they were 100% correct. Other friends have given me dream interpretations that were on target, but Mark and Julie's interpretations were of a higher spiritual level than the others and gave me greater spiritual insight into what the Lord was showing me through these dreams. As an apostle, Mark sees things from a higher spiritual level than others, including myself, do.

Mark and Julie don't ask for any specific amount for their work, but this is the only way the Lord raises support for them at this time - through donations from people whom they minister to over the internet. And I am going to ask you to help support them, whether you go to them for ministry or not. If you do ask them for a prophetic word or dream interpretation, please give generously if you can. I can promise you that they live very frugally, with no extravagance whatsoever. They are happy when the Lord provides enough each month to cover the basic necessities. I give them what I can, but my resources are very limited because I send everything I can to support my Kikuyu sister-in-Christ in Kenya.

Speaking of Kenya, Mark, in his apostolic office, counsels several pastors of churches in Africa - that is part of the work of an apostle, to oversee churches and be a pastor to pastors. He and Julie feel the leading of the Lord to go to Africa soon to visit these pastors and churches and are trusting in the Lord to provide the funds to go there.

I've not asked anyone for any financial help in the almost two years that I've had this blog, nor will I ever ask for finances for myself. No, I don't have much, very little in fact, but the Lord provides what I need. But I am asking those of you who are able to, to help support Mark and Julie and their ministry. I want them to be able to go to Kenya and I am certain that the Lord does also. Please pray about this and see what the Lord may lead you to do.

Their mailing address is: P.O. Box 1454, La Feria, TX 78559

A Nation of Gluttons

2011-01-15T14:41:00.000-06:00

God richly blessed this nation with every blessing under the sun - and we've become a nation of gluttons who have gorged ourselves on every blessing God gave us and many things that God did not give us but rather things that we created ourselves. Over 50% of the people in the USA are overweight, over 30% of them classified as obese or morbidly obese. We have gorged ourselves on the bountiful food supply that the Lord had given us. We have gorged ourselves on every type of alcohol that you can imagine (alcohol in itself is not bad, but the overuse of it is). We have gorged ourselves on illegal drugs: marijuana, cocaine, speed, heroin, etc. This nation uses more illegal drugs than any other nation. We have gorged ourselves on sex. There is more illicit sex now between unmarried people than there has ever been in this nation. There are more pregnancies among unmarried females that there ever have been. There are more murders of unborn children than there ever have been.

We have gorged ourselves on pornography. We have gorged ourselves on clothes. We have gorged ourselves on material possessions. We have gorged ourselves on our own pleasures, whether these be TV, sports, electronic games, movies, etc. We have gorged ourselves on false religious "feel good" doctrines. We have gorged ourselves on more perversions than any other nation. We are a nation of gluttons, a nation out of control by choice.

George Will recently wrote that "American life resembles a giant all-you-can-eat buffet offering calories, credits and intoxicants and other invitations to excess. Americans accept these invitations so promiscuously that bad decisions about smoking, eating and other behaviors account for almost half of US deaths in our losing war with ourselves".

God is sick of it and is very quickly going to put an end to it. Prepare yourselves now to do without most of what we consider to be the "essentials" of life, they are about to come to an end.

On another subject, I remember what a woman e-mailed to me shortly after I wrote my prophetic message "The Destruction of the USA" back in March, 2009 - she said that she had a dream that when Obama surrendered this nation to the Russians that he had a smile, a smirk, on his face. Recently the Lord revealed to me that dream was from Him. Obama will be defeated in his bid for re-election in 2012 - my guess is that it will be by Sarah Palin, which would even be more humiliating to him, being beaten by a woman. Because he will be defeated - which will be absolutely humiliating to him - he will gladly surrender this nation to the Russians when they hit us with a nuclear attack shortly after the solar storms which will hit us in late 2012. He will think "I am getting even with this nation for rejecting me, their messiah".

In Tom Clancy's latest fiction novel "Dead Or Alive", he says about a mythical President (even though he did not know he was speaking prophetically) "So what happens when a weak man of flawed character is faced with a cascade of catastrophes? He crumbles of course, and with him the nation". So also will Obama, a weak man of flawed character, crumble when God's wrath is poured out upon this nation shortly.

I believe that the catastrophes have already begun with the many deaths caused by the weather and by things like the recent shootings in Tuscon. In June I started a thread which was titled "Catastrophe After Catastrophe". For several months I listed the things that were happening in our nation. Those were just the very beginning. What happened in Tuscon recently, the shooting deaths of six people, was the acceleration of the catastrophes - they will not slow down, only get worse.

The great earthquake that will split our nation in two from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico will probably happen later this year when Obama tries to force Israel to split the Holy City in two. Just yesterday I was reading about the 350,000+ people who died in the Haiti earthquake last year. That will seem like a minor occurrence compared to the quake that splits this nation and causes millions of deaths and unbelievable property damage.

God will not protect all His people in the coming years. Many will die during the catastrophes that will be unleashed upon this country. Think very seriously about that - are you ready to meet your Maker? Is your heart ready? Is your lamp lit? I implore you my brothers and sisters to spend as much time as you can in prayer, fasting and reading the Bible. The day of darkness is at hand.

Silent Scream

2010-12-27T16:49:00.002-06:00

This was written by my spiritual daughter, Cassie Lemire, and posted on her blog: http://lemirecassiedaughterofgod.blogspot.com. It is so powerful that I felt I should post it on my blog also.

Silent Scream
Shalom,

To all the women who read my blog, this poem was written for all the un-born children who never saw the light. Yahweh had me write this and I was not sure why. Then as I started to write the Holy Spirit told me why. Please understand that I do not judge anyone for I too am a sinner. Here is HIS message. Yahweh wants you to know that there is ALWAYS hope. HIS message was very clear. For I so loved the world I gave my only begotten Son. Ask for MY forgiveness, Repent and seek ME,Know that you are LOVED.

I felt the probe invade my secret place,
my little heart began to race.

I cried to you, you did not hear,
my silent scream filled with fear.

I tried so hard to win the fight,
my body fought with all it's might.

I know this was not God's will,
my limbs grew stiff my body still.

I know you did not feel my pain,
my life is over gone in vain.

I went to heaven to be with Jesus today,
my tears and pain HE took away.

Is There a Doctor in the House?

2010-12-19T20:10:00.001-06:00

Recently a dear sister in the Lord wrote me telling me that she hoped the Lord called her home before His judgment was poured out in great measure upon this nation because she is physically disabled and in constant need of pain medication. She knew that medication would be in short supply during the coming years and she might not be able to get any. I fully understand what she was talking about and I knew how she felt. There is nothing wrong with hoping that the Lord calls her home because Paul himself wanted to go be with the Lord, but knew that the Lord had more work for him to do here on earth, so don't judge this woman because of her desires to be with the Lord.

My response to her was that during the coming years of great judgment upon this nation, that the power of the Holy Spirit would be greater than we can imagine and the Lord will use many of us to heal the sick and infirm so that they do not need medicine and pain killers. I believe this with all my heart.

But His power will not be given to those who have been seeking it for years so that they can do great things for Him and thus build up their own ministries and/or be recognized as a "mighty person of God". No, it will be given to those whom He can trust to use it as He tells them to use it for His purposes, and His purposes alone. It will be given to the humble who will not use His power to lift themselves up, but rather who will use it to see God Himself lifted up.

Back in 1983 the Lord anointed me with the gift of healing. He had me use it in church the next Sunday for one person, a woman who had been in and out of mental hospitals for several years since the death of her son. I did not know this woman nor did I know what her problems were. But the Lord had me anoint her with oil and prophesy over her. In dreams over the next few days He told me what would happen the next time I saw she and her husband. She would be a new woman, delivered from this horrible depression and mental torment and set free with a new life. Three weeks from that Sunday I saw she and her husband and they told me the exact words that the Lord told me in the dream they would say - she was a new woman, a new wife. The Lord had healed her!

That was the only time that He has let me use that gift. It is now 27 years later and He has not let me use it again, even on people whom I loved and wanted to see healed. The time is coming in the near future when He will release me to use the gift of healing in mighty ways, but only when, and on whom, He tells me. It will not be as I will, but as He wills.

So will it also be with many of you in the years to come when His judgment is poured out upon this nation. He will give many of you the gifts of healing and miracles in the coming days, to use as He directs you, not to use as you desire. In the coming days there will be many who will be physically and/or mentally ill who will not have access to medicine because there will be very little medicine available in this country. There will be shortages of everything, including medicine. But the Lord is merciful and He will provide His healing power for many who are ill in those days. His power of miracles will be used to let the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the mute speak. Arms and legs that have been lost will miraculously appear. Hearts that have serious medical problems will be instantly healed. Mental and emotional problems will be healed. Cancer will be healed. Arthritis will be removed from joints. Demons will be cast out. These things He will do through us FOR HIS GLORY AND HIS GLORY ALONE. Many will be saved and led to Him because of these things.

Where will these things take place? Wherever He wants them to happen. Sometimes they will happen when you meet someone on the street and the Lord tells you to pray for them right then and there. Sometimes He will have someone come and knock on your door and say "I don't understand this, but I felt led to come to your house just now", these will be people whom you have never met before. The Lord will tell you how to pray for them and He will heal them of whatever it was that was causing them a problem. Many will then give glory to God. But many will not, just as happened in Jesus' time.

Yes, sometimes He will even use us in churches. He will send us to a particular church one Sunday for no reason that we can comprehend. But when we get there He will tell us what to do, who to pray for, who He wants to heal. But let me warn you my brothers and sisters, some of the people may accept you and love you for what God is doing through you, but most of the leaders of the churches will not, because they are not doing it and controlling it and getting the glory. Just as the Pharisees and Sadducees rejected and persecuted Jesus, so also shall we be persecuted and run out of the churches.

Even in the places of refuge the same things will happen sometimes. Expect to be rejected and expect to be persecuted - Jesus was, and we are to share in the fellowship of His sufferings. His own people hated Him because He healed the sick and performed great and mighty miracles. Sometimes the Lord will let us be loved and accepted, other times we will be hated because we showed people the love of Jesus.

Remember the story of the man who was bound in the catacombs but kept breaking the chains. He was filled with legions of demons. Jesus set him free and ordered the demons into the herd of swine who promptly ran off the cliff and drowned. What did the people say to Jesus? They asked Him to leave their town. So also shall we be asked to leave churches and places of refuge for doing the will of the Lord healing people and setting them free from demons.

The Lord will use us to do mighty things in the near future, but be prepared for the persecution and rejection that will come along with it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving all! I am thankful for all those who read and heed the messages the Lord has given me for this blog. I never expected to have a blog, much less one that is read by so many people. I am thankful for all the encouraging replies I've received, and especially the ones where the Lord changed people's hearts and lives through His messages on this blog. I am thankful for His warnings about what is about to come upon this nation, so that we can prepare ourselves for it in prayer, fasting and reading the Bible. I am thankful for all of you.

God bless and keep you, my brothers and sisters!

Filled With the Spirit, Speaking in Tongues

2010-11-12T17:24:00.002-06:00

This is a post that is sure to stir things up because so many people have been taught such foolishness about these things. Contrary to what you may have been taught, being filled with the spirit has nothing to do with the gifts of the Spirit. Being filled with the Spirit means that you exhibit the FRUIT of the Spirit, not the GIFTS of the Spirit. Gal 5:22-23 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

Unless you exhibit the fruit of the Spirit, you are worthless. It doesn't matter if you have all the gifts of the Spirit,without the fruit of the Spirit you are nothing. If people cannot see the fruit of the Spirit in you, you are nothing but a noisy, clanging cymbal. The gifts of the Spirit are just that - gifts. The Holy Spirit gives them as He wills to give them, to whomever He wants to give them to for His purposes and His purposes alone. 1 Cor 12:7-11 - "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines."

I would rather have the fruit of the Spirit within me than be given all the gifts of the Spirit. Back in 1984 I attended a little Pentecostal storefront church one Sunday and there was a young guy preaching. My thoughts were that he was preaching just to hear himself speak. He really had nothing of value to say the whole time. After he finished his spiel, he began to minister in the Spirit. He pointed at me and said that I would minister in gifts of prophecy and word of knowledge. I thought "So what, I already do that." As I walked out of the building I remember saying to the Lord "Lord, if they can't see Your love in me, then what good am I? It doesn't matter how many spiritual gifts I have, unless people can see Your love in me, I am worthless." If I am not filled with the fruit of the Spirit, I am a noisy, clanging cymbal.

Yes, the Lord has given me many of the gifts of the Spirit, but they are only to use as He directs me to use them, not as I will. People seeing His love in me is all I really care about.

"When you're filled with the Spirit you'll speak in tongues." How many times have you heard that? It is 100% wrong. "Well, Cliff, when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost they spoke in tongues!" Yes, they did. But it was in foreign languages that the people who were outside understood since those people were from many nations and languages. The disciples were preaching the gospel in many different languages that day, languages that they themselves had no knowledge of. Indeed they were speaking in tongues, foreign languages. Because they were preaching in foreign languages that they did not know, but the people outside who were from other nations and languages understood, then many were saved that day. They were not babbling away in a heavenly language that no one understood because that would have done no good.

"Ah, but the Bible says that tongues in the church is for unbelievers." Yes, it is. But the tongue that is spoken of here is a foreign language which unbelievers from another country and language who have just come into the church, will understand and therefore be convicted by it. Use your heads people, if a person comes into a church and hears a bunch of people speaking in a heavenly prayer language, why will they be convicted? They will just think it is a bunch of nuts babbling like fools. There is a proper time and place for everything.

Yes, there is tongues and interpretations, I myself have been the recipient of this.
Back in 1982, a few days after the woman I loved and wanted to marry told me that she didn't love me and couldn't marry me, I was at the church altar crying my eyes out, my heart breaking, when one of the elders and his wife came up to me. One began to speak in tongues, then the other interpreted. The things that I remember the Lord saying to me were "You will be a tower of strength for me, you will lead many men to me, and you will be victorious beyond your wildest dreams." That was not comforting to me at the time, but it was what the Lord wanted me to hear. I have witnessed tongues and interpretation at other times also. In its proper place, it is from the Lord.

Then there is the tongue that the Holy Spirit prays for us in groanings deeper than words. I honestly don't know what this is because I have never experienced it, nor has the Lord revealed to me its meaning.

Then there is the heavenly prayer language that the Lord gives us so that the Spirit can pray through us. This is what many people experience when they are anointed with the gift of tongues and begin to speak in a language that sounds rather strange to them - they mistakenly think this is "being filled with the Spirit", it is not. This is a prayer language that is to be used for that purpose - prayer. I can say, like Paul, that I pray in tongues more than any of you. But it is not something that makes me feel special, nor powerful, nor great. It is something that I do in obedience to the Lord. I can pray in tongues (almost all of my praying in tongues is done silently in my head) while watching a football game, while reading, while driving, while taking a shower. I have no idea what I am praying, nor do I care. But this I do know because the Lord has made it very, very clear to me, my prayers in tongues accomplish much, even though I have no idea what I am praying, and many time for whom I am praying. It is only later that I see a difference in the people whom the Lord has put upon my heart. Most of the time He never shows me the results of my prayers.

As far as messages regarding what the Lord is going to do in the future to the USA, I can only post those when He gives me something to say. If He doesn't give me anything to say about it, I stay silent regarding those things.

The Sheep And The Goats

2010-10-22T11:30:00.001-05:00

Matthew 25:31-46

The Sheep and the Goats

Matthew 25:31-46 - 31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Although Jesus speaks of physically feeding and giving drink, He is also speaking of emotionally feeding and giving drink. When one of your neighbors was going through emotionally difficult times, were you there to feed them the comfort and understanding that they needed? Were you there to give them a drop of compassion to drink? What about those in the churches you attend? Have you been there for them when they needed someone to talk to, someone to show them a drop of love, someone to feed them a bite of mercy and understanding, to just spend the time to listen to them? When someone you knew lost a loved one, were you there to comfort them? Did you invite them over for dinner? What about new church members or even first time visitors, have you invited them over to your home to welcome them into the church family and show them love? Have you reached out to those around you to show them love?

Have you ever helped to feed the homeless? This Thanksgiving and Christmas, instead of having a big dinner and celebration, how about going with some ministry to feed the homeless and bring them clothes. Have you ever gone with a prison ministry group to minister to those in prison? Have you visited acquaintances in nursing homes? When your neighbor or someone in your church was sick, did you bring them food or ask them if you could run errands for them? What about the elderly person down the street, have you ever asked them if you can do anything to help them, do grocery shopping for them, given them a ride somewhere, take or pick up clothes at the cleaners for them?

When someone was emotionally hurting, have you clothed them with a warm embrace? Have you warmed them with love? When someone was emotionally vulnerable, did you clothe them in prayer, did you comfort them?

You see, we can tell people about Jesus until we are blue in the face. But until they see Jesus in us, we are worthless.

The Destruction of the USA

2010-10-20T01:08:00.003-05:00

This was the very first and in my opinion the most important message that the Lord gave me for my blog. For those who haven't read it, I encourage you to do so. For those who have read it, I urge you to read it again.

The Destruction of the USA

My name is Clifford Hilbert and God appointed me a watchman. He even chose my name for me before I was born. I am a watchman who stands on the edge of the cliff watching the fording place in the river, so that when I see the enemy coming I can warn the people. Standing there watching requires long periods of forced isolation, idleness, unbelievable boredom and great patience - the exact opposite of who and what I am. But that is what God chose for me and all I can do is obey. I have been watching for many years and now see the enemy coming. It is time to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm.

For years biblical scholars have been trying to figure out where the USA, the most powerful nation that has ever existed, fits into the endtime scenarios. No one has yet come up with the correct answer. Why? Because the USA will not be a factor in the last days. It will not exist in the form it does today. God is on the verge of destroying this nation.

Why? Because we have been filled with pride thinking that we created this great nation and that we are the ones responsible for the great abundance we have here. We, as a nation, have failed to realize that it is God who created this nation and God who has blessed us with such abundance, that it is He who has prospered us.

We, as a nation, have turned completely away from the Lord and gone our own prideful, arrogant, sinful and decadent ways. Materialism has become our god. Money has become our god. Our own fleshly desires have become our god. Our powerful weapons have become our source of faith, instead of God. “In God we trust”, the slogan which is on own currency, is a lie.

For Christians, their big new church buildings have become their gods. Their “rights in Jesus” have become their gods. Their “faith” has become their god. The Pentecostals and charasmatics are proud of what they think are their spiritual gifts, and they use these gifts with pride and arrogance against their other brothers and sisters in Christ. They fall for every wind and wave of doctrine that comes along, and have no firm foundation to stand on. They believe that they are the ones who cause prosperity and health by their words. They have taken God out of the equation and consider themselves as gods who make everything happen by themselves. They have forgotten that the greatest gift of all is love, something they have very, very little of.

The Baptists are proud that they are “once saved, always saved” — even though Paul “worked out his salvation with fear and trembling”, and the Lord told the church at Laodecia (a church, people who thought that they were all saved) “I wish that you were hot or cold. But because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”

The Bible churches are proud that they alone know the real truth. Their pastors are all cemetery-trained and they know the Bible inside and out. They have dissected all the words and passages and can tell you the Greek and Hebrew meanings of everything in the Bible. They have discussed ten million times whether Jesus was fully human and/or fully divine. They know all the stories in the Bible, but they know nothing of the Living Word of God. There is no anointing in their sermons and the Word they teach is not “active and alive, and sharper than any two-edged sword” - it is dead , as are their hearts.

The Catholics are proud that their religion is the “only true religion”. They worship more false gods than the Greeks did — Mary and all the other dead people, the “saints”. They have made Mary part of the Godhead believing they need her to intercede for us with Jesus. The Trinity is now Father, Son and Blessed Mother. They believe that Mary has appeared all over the world and they worship the spots where there has been an apparition, even images on pieces of toast. I believe that there have been appearances at those spots - but no one has ever explained to them that Satan comes as an angel of light (a beautiful woman masquerading as the “Mother of God”) who performs great and mighty miracles that would deceive even the very elect, if that were possible. Satan has gotten what he wanted, the Catholics worship him instead of Jesus. His servants also come as angels of light, and masquerade as servants of righteousness. The priests are blind and consider themselves as little gods – unfortunately, too many of these “little gods” are child molesters. The Catholic Church conveniently shoves aside the Biblical requirement that priests must be from the tribe of Levi.

Methodists and Episcopalians are ordaining homosexual and lesbian ministers and priests. They are teaching that these abominable lifestyles are acceptable.

The churches worship their pastors as if they were gods and kings, and the pastors are filled with arrogance and pride. They want to build bigger churches so that they can have larger congregations that will inflate their egos even more. The shepherds have no idea what the word “shepherd” really means. They lift themselves up as great authorities, yet they have never learned that they are servants of the people. I have not yet met a pastor of any denomination who went out and sought a sheep that left his flock.

The pastors teach their flocks that “God is a good God, He doesn’t want you to suffer”, in direct contradiction to what the Bible says. The New Testament talks about suffering a lot more than it mentions blessings and prosperity. But that’s not “positive confession”, so they throw that aside. They teach them that “God’s promises are all for you. He wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants you to prosper and be in good health. If you just have enough faith, you can claim your rights in Jesus and have everything you have ever desired.” No one teaches that Paul’s testimony was that he was hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, beaten and in chains. No one teaches what Jesus instructed them to do “Sell what you have, give to the poor and come, follow Me.” “He that does not give up everything he has, cannot be my disciple.” “Share in the fellowship of His sufferings” Claim those as your “rights in Jesus”!!!

No one teaches about the Beatitudes that Jesus spoke of in the sermon on the mount —
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

No one teaches the whole truth, just the parts of it that “tickle men’s ears”, just the “feel good” gospel of the carnal.

The religious TV networks (I refuse to call them “Christian”) are filled with thieves, liars, charlatans and false prophets who are out to build great masses of worshipers for themselves. They steal from the widows, the poor, the hurting, the wounded, the hopeless and the desperate. They are nothing but a bunch of antichrists. And people look to them as gods who can do no wrong. There is no discernment in the Body of Christ today! The so-called “Body of Christ” in this country is corrupt beyond measure.

These are only a few of the many reasons that God is coming to destroy this nation and severely test the faith of most. Most “Christians” will fail the test and their names will not be written in the Book of Life. A great apostasy of the faith is about to happen in this country. Many will be imprisoned, tortured, sawn in two and put to death because of their faith — only he that endures to the end will be saved. Most who read this will not be saved.

The USA itself is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, in every way. Not only do we kill millions of innocent, unborn children in this country every year, but now that Obama is President, we will be paying for the murders of millions of unborn babies in other countries. Obama wants to pass legislation that will force all hospitals, including Catholic hospitals, to perform abortions on demand, regardless of the term of pregnancy or the age of the female. Homosexual marriage is something that the Obama administration wants legalized. The abortionists and the homosexuals “parade their sins in the streets”, and people are there to cheer them on, the nations leaders being among them.

Greed is rampant in all parts of society and in every organization in this nation, especially the churches. Our nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C. is the most corrupt city in America, and our politicians are wicked beyond measure. Arrogance, pride, contempt, crime and greed are hallmarks of our nation’s capitol. We are proud of all the great buildings that form our cities, all the money that is made in them, and all the materialism that exists in them. Drugs have invaded every part of our society. Morals no longer exist in the USA. Good is now called evil, and evil is now called good.

When this country elected Barak Hussein Obama as President, God said “ENOUGH!!”

“You wanted leaders after your own hearts, so I’ve given them to you. I’ve given you the most corrupt, arrogant and deceitful President and administration in the history of your country. They will lead your country into the worst decadence and depravity it has ever known.

“My people have been waiting for signs and wonders for years and years, waiting for me to do great and mighty things. I already have, but no one was paying any attention. My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts. As far as the sun is from the moon are My thoughts higher than your thoughts and My ways higher than your ways. I sent the Great Depression to warn you that you were becoming too focused on wealth and greed. Few listened. I sent the planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 to warn you that your pride, arrogance and lust for power and money had gone too far. Few listened. I sent Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to warn you about your sexual and spiritual decadence and depravity that has become an abomination reaching to the heavens. Few listened.

So now I will destroy your proud, arrogant, greedy, depraved and decadent nation and churches. You would not humble yourselves before me and turn from your wicked and evil ways. So now, I the Lord your God will force you to your knees, literally. My judgment upon you is coming much quicker than any ever expected. It will be total and complete. Never again will you stand proud and tall as a nation. Never again will you exalt yourselves above Me”.

First will come the economic collapse of this nation, because money has become what you worship, not the Lord. Another watchman, John Johnston (http://www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/) saw that when Fidel Castro dies, then will come the complete and total collapse of our economy. Why God set it up that way, I have no idea. I just know that He did and that John is correct. You are seeing just the beginning of that in the last few months of 2008 and the first few months of 2009. That is just the very beginning. It will get much, much worse — the complete and total economic collapse of this nation. The worst is yet to come.

Back in 1986 I was driving through the Dakotas and pulled up to see Mt. Rushmore. As I pulled the car into the parking lot I suddenly saw Mt. Rushmore come tumbling down. Until March 3, 2009, I didn’t know what this meant. Now I do. Spiritually, this means that God will not let those men who built this country upon Godly morals and principles see His destruction of the nation they so dearly loved. Physically, it is His warning to flee the cities and not look back. Pray that you are not with child then, because the worst is still to come.

Immediately following the fall of Mt. Rushmore there will be major solar storms (expected by astronomers in 2011-2012) that will cause catastrophic electrical, electronic and communication failures in many areas of the USA and the world. This happened in Quebec some years ago and all power was lost for days, even weeks. All power will be lost in many major cities, including New York City. Complete power grids will shut down, affecting large areas of the country. When this happens gangs will run rampant all over the cities that are affected. They will loot, rape, rob, steal and kill like never before. There will be fires all over which will not be possible to put out because there will be no power to run the water pumping stations, and the looters will shoot the fireman who try to put the fires out. The crime wave in New Orleans after Katrina was nothing compared to what is about to happen. It will be complete civil chaos that the police and National Guard will not be able to stop. People will be leaving these cities by the hundreds of thousands to escape the violence. The USA will be paralyzed. The worst is still to come.

On that same trip in 1986 I was driving through Granite Falls, MN and stopped to eat dinner and spend the night at the home of some friends’ parents. After dinner I was talking a walk in the neighborhood (which was out in the country) and glanced upon some huge grain silos. All of a sudden I saw these silos explode! I knew that the Lord was telling me that our vast supply of food in this country would suddenly disappear. Since then I have learned that the temperatures in these silos are closely monitored to prevent static electrical buildup, among other things. With no electricity, these silos will explode. With no electricity, our refrigerated foods will go bad. With no electricity, our food processing plants will not function. Will no electricity, our processed seafood and meats will quickly spoil. With no electricity, our water purification plants will not be able to operate. Without electricity, most people will not be able to cook. The solar storms will cause the electricity in many areas of our country to be off for weeks and even months. Our food supply will suddenly be gone. There will be great famine all over the country. The worst is yet to come.

Back in 1984 I was listening to a Christian radio station when a guy began to prophecy. I remember him saying “.. and though the President seems to be a good man, he will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians”.

While the country is in complete and utter chaos like we’ve never known before, the Russians will then unleash a nuclear attack upon us from submarines off our coasts. Impact will come only seven minutes from launch. This will destroy a number of major cities. See John Johnston’s: “www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/russia_invades_america.html” for more specifics. God will judge us for the pride we take in these great monuments (i.e. skyscrapers) that our hands have built, and the materialism we worship. President Obama will not retaliate, but will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians. They will come and enslave our people and rape the resources and the women of this country. This is how quickly this will be upon us. The worst is yet to come.

Back in 1983 there was a prophet in Dallas who had a vision of all three seaboards of this country being hit by tidal waves of 200-300'. In 1984 I was visiting a friend who lived on a small river near Baton Rouge, La. We were outside sitting on chairs on the lawn when suddenly I saw this huge 30-60' wall of dirty water come rushing over the property. This was over 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico!

John Johnston has also seen a huge tidal wave hitting the East Coast and knocking down the tall buildings like dominos. “I went into a deep sleep and had a dream I was on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach. It was night time and I think it was about 2:00 am. I put my foot up on the railing and was looking out over the ocean. There was what looked like a full moon on the horizon. I noticed just underneath the moon was a giant black wall on the horizon. The moon was reflecting white caps off the wall. As I stood there looking out into the Atlantic Ocean I realized that the white caps are from a massive tidal wave heading to shore. It was about 300 feet high. I felt the realization that it was too late to warn the people and the dream ended.

“In the fall of the following year, 2006 I had the same dream again.

“In January 2008, I had the same dream except this time I started running to people’s houses to wake them up and warn them, but it was too late.”

Revelation 18: 21 “Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.” On March 2, 2009 an asteroid passed within 40,000 miles of Earth. That may seem like a lot, but it is within the moon’s orbit of earth and just twice the distance from Earth as some of our communications satellites. What will happen when an asteroid hits our planet? Remember the Star called Wormwood which the angel threw into the sea? That could cause tidal waves like the ones which will hit our coastlines. It would also be hot enough to make the seas turn red like blood.

The destruction from these tidal waves will be beyond human description. The death toll will be in the tens of millions. Why? To destroy the vile, abominable and detestable sexual and spiritual practices which flood this country. Several months after Katrina there was a Decadence Day parade held in New Orleans, an annual event. Mardi Gras, which is approved of by the Catholic Church, is nothing but a huge pagan festival. All the different parades are named after different Greek gods and goddesses — Bacchus, Endymion, Venus, Proteus, etc. The floats move down the streets and the people are all raising their hands, waving them, shouting “Throw me something mister!”, to the maskers on the floats. Spiritually they are worshipping the gods of the floats. The next day they go to mass and get the ashes on their heads to start the beginning of Lent. They party like the heathens they are, then go for “absolution and forgiveness” the next day. I am a former Catholic, originally from New Orleans, so I speak from personal, first-hand experience.

God has had enough!!

In 1985 while on my way to Phoenix, I spent the night with an older couple in Benson, AZ. I remember Enoch telling me that the Lord had told his church in Benson that there were members of that church then, in 1985, who would be martyred in front of the church for their faith. The Sunday after 9/11/2001 I went to a little church in Lindale, TX for the first time. Before the service, I remember seeing some little children playing in the aisles, just running around having a good time. The Lord told me that these very children would be running for their lives because of their faith, in this country. John Johnston (www.unitedstatesprophecy.com) has seen visions of foreign soldiers destroying churches in this country and executing the congregations in front of those churches.

That is when many will fall away from the Lord, part of the great apostasy of the faith. Many who have been deceived and brainwashed into believing the “faith” foolishness that is being taught by people like Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, Rod Parsley, Mike Murdock, John Hagee, Joyce Meyer, Marilyn Hickey, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, James Robinson, Jimmy Swaggart and the like, will be “confessing the Word”, “claiming their rights in Jesus”, demanding that God honor His Word, but will find out that it doesn’t work like they’ve been taught it should. They will not have wealth, they will not have jobs, they will not have homes, they will not have their health and they will not have much to eat. They will be hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, in chains and they will fall away from the faith because they will say “God doesn’t honor His word, therefore He is a liar and I want nothing to with Him”. These sheep have believed the lies that their shepherds taught them. Their blood will be upon the hands of their shepherds. They listened to teachers who “tickled their ears”, because that is what they wanted to hear and believe.

The Bible is God’s word which He uses to accomplish that which He pleases and purposes — not what we please and purpose.

During the coming disasters that God will send upon this country, He will also give some of us hope and peace. He has been setting up places of refuge across this country where Christians will find safe harbor from the catastrophes unleashed upon America. In 1986 I lived in Phoenix for several months and traveled around Arizona some. I was visiting someone in Oracle, AZ and the Lord impressed upon me that this would be a city of refuge in the future. He also showed me that the mountains of Prescott, AZ would be another place of refuge - there are several large Christian camps up there. Lindale, TX (just north of Tyler) will be another city of refuge. I’m certain that there will be other cities of refuge that the Lord has set up.

In these places Christians will live together and provide for one another. We will grow our own food, raise our own livestock. We will not be dependent upon the government for anything, because the government will be trying to find us and kill us, just as John Johnston saw in his vision:

“During the same time as the vision about the state of Florida in July of 1995, God gave me a vision of a massive army coming down on America. He said, “John, I am going to allow the enemies of the United States to judge America. When America’s enemies come they will have no mercy on the men, women and children. I saw troop movement and they appeared to be Communist Chinese and Russian troops coming into the United States. As they came in, America was no match. I saw churches and synagogues were being leveled by heavy artillery. As the churches were being blown up I saw Jews and Christians being herded up and shot like cattle in front of their churches and homes. I saw the troops killing children and infants with their bayonets. I saw the American people tormented beyond imagination. The troops were void of emotions. Their objective is to take the nation and take it hands down. All able bodied working people will be forced into slave labor. Some will be taken to other countries and some left here. The soldier’s main objective was to kill all Jews and Christians. As I am seeing all this horror I asked, “Lord, what is happening?” He said, “Because of the wickedness of the United States of America I am allowing her enemies to invade her lands.” God ended the vision.

"The enemies of America are supernaturally being drawn together. When they come, they are going to catch the nation completely by surprise. Great is going to be her destruction and torment. This judgment is coming soon! The American people, Christians and non-Christians do not believe that God has fiery indignation that will be poured out. The great day of darkness is quickly coming upon the whole world, the day of God’s wrath and judgment.”

These places of refuge will not be fancy, they will not be very comfortable for many. They will not have all the luxuries and conveniences that we are used to. We will not have as much to eat as we are used to. Some places might not have running water and electricity. We will have to learn to do with much less than we are used to. They will not have much in the way of medical facilities. But God will provide the basic necessities of life for us.

Years ago there was a TV miniseries entitled “Amerika”, about a Russian takeover of this country. In there was a scene I remember very, very distinctly. A man was helping another man escape the Russians, and they were going through an underground passageway, when suddenly they came upon this large underground room. In the room were a number of Christians singing and praising the Lord. The escapee asked his friend “How can they be happy when there is so much trouble?” His friend replied “Because we know the Lord is doing this and why, and He is in control.” That peace and joy is what will sustain us during those times which are almost upon us.

A couple of miscellaneous things. The “great mountain thrown into the sea” mentioned in Revelation is Mount Fuji in Japan. It will erupt with such force that much of it will be
thrown into the sea. Can you imagine the destruction this will cause? Could the star
called Wormwood hit the seas with such an impact that it would cause Mt. Fuji to erupt?
I don’t know, but it is something to think about

How should you prepare for the coming catastrophes which are almost upon us? Pray, pray and pray. Ask the Lord to show you how each one of you individually should begin to prepare. Don’t listen to the fools on the religious channels, because they will have no idea what to do, even though they will claim to. The best thing you can do, next to praying, is to turn off your televisions, turn off all the CDs and tapes you have that were written about the Bible, quit going to all those conferences about the Bible, quit reading all those books about the Bible, take your Bible and begin at Genesis and start reading. Read it during every spare minute you have — if you’ll turn off your televisions you’ll be surprised at all the extra time you have to read the Bible. Read the Bible from beginning to end, over and over and over. Don’t go looking for things in it to confirm what you think you know, just read it. Yes, it will be hard and it will be very boring. But that is the only way to learn what God wants you, specifically, to learn. Turn off the radios in your vehicles and put on CDs of someone reading the Bible. That’s all, just reading it — quit listening to someone teaching you what man wants you to learn, but just listen to the reading of the Word itself and let the Spirit teach you. “For you no longer have need of a teacher, for the Holy Spirit is your teacher.” Quit trying to find someone to feed you the Word, feed yourselves. Babies need to be fed, adults feed themselves. It’s time for you to grow up.

One final warning — all the prayers in the world will not cause God to turn aside from, or delay, what is coming upon this country. Don’t waste your time praying for that. Pray for God to show you what He wants you to do in the next few years in order to last through the trying times ahead. Pray for strength. You will be “tested and tried in the fires of affliction.” Many of you will be martyred during the coming years. Most of you will turn away from the faith and your names will not be found in the Book of Life. “The way to destruction is broad and most enter through it. The gate to eternal life is narrow and few enter it.”

One last thought. What will happen to Israel when it does not have the USA to defend it anymore? We are truly that close to the last days.

Most who read this will reject it and laugh at it. Most will reject me, scorn me, ridicule me and persecute me. I expect that. But the Lord told me many years ago that 95% of what I teach is for 5% of the people. If 5% listen to this message, then I will have done what the Lord sent me to do.

Blessed

2010-10-07T19:52:00.001-05:00

Matthew 5: 1-12
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him. 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3Blessed are the poor in spirit (destitute of wealth of learning and intellectual culture which the schools afford, men of this class most readily give themselves up to Christ's teaching and proved them selves fitted to lay hold of the heavenly treasure) for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. It doesn’t say that you must always be joyful and praising the Lord.

5Blessed are the meek (Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in God's goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self at all. This is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will (Gal 5:23) for they shall inherit the earth.

6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness (state of him who is as he ought to be, the condition acceptable to God - integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking feeling, and acting) for they shall be filled.(satisfied)

7Blessed are the merciful (bringing someone relief from something unpleasant) for they shall obtain mercy. (compassion shown by one person to another)

8Blessed are the pure (sincere, genuine) in heart for they shall see God

9Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God.

10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' (integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking feeling, and acting) sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Still In The Eye of the Storm

2010-10-05T18:50:00.000-05:00

In August, 2009 I posted a message "In the Eye of the Storm", part of which is reprinted below. As we all know, the economy is still stagnant, unemployment is still high, and banks are still failing at record rates - 140 in 2009, 129 already this year. My brothers and sisters, God has been giving us time to mentally and spiritually get ready for hyperinflation and then the collapse of the American economy. Some of the fortunate ones the Lord is giving the financial resources to prepare for this. Others will have to rely on the Lord for provision. My guess is that hyperinflation will begin late next year and the collapse of the economy in early 2012, but that is only a guess. Only the Lord knows exactly when it will happen. This is a time given to us to spend in the Bible, in prayer and, for those who are able to, in fasting to get ready for what is about to befall this nation. Please make good use of this time we have been given. Lord, please prepare us for what is ahead.

Below is an excerpt from my message last year.

The Eye of the Storm
August 14, 2009

Right now we are in the rather calm eye of the storm. But the worst damage comes after the eye passes and the winds come from the other direction. The first winds of this storm weakened the economic structure in this country, but they didn't destroy it. At this date, there is a relative calm in the economy of this country - it seems to have stabilized and the stock market has rallied. Our politicians and newspapers are declaring that the recession is over and there will be good times ahead. DON'T BELIEVE THEM!!!!

This is just the calm in the eye of the storm. The winds are about to hit us from another direction and they will completely destroy the economy of this country. It is coming very, very quickly. Be prepared to live on virtually nothing. Be prepared to live without many of the conveniences you have today. Be prepared for exorbitant price increases on everything from food, to electricity, to gasoline, to clothes, to just about anything you buy. Hyperinflation is coming very, very quickly.

You must learn to do with much less than you have today. Energy prices will skyrocket to unbelievable levels and many of you will not be able to afford to air-condition or heat your homes. Gasoline prices will be higher than anyone could ever have predicted, be prepared to drive only for essential errands. Food prices will skyrocket and you will be able to afford only the basic necessities. Salaries WILL NOT rise accordingly. Cut back on your expenses and save as much money as you can.

Desires of the Flesh

2010-09-19T16:55:00.001-05:00

Last week the Lord had me begin conserving water. I like to take long showers and I shave in the shower. But now I wash my hair and face, then turn the water off while I wash the rest of my body. Then I turn the water on to rinse off, then turn if off. Then I shave, without the water running, then turn it on to rinse off. When I am washing dishes I am learning how to do it with the least amount of water. Yes, I am even learning how to use the toilet (urinating) several times before I flush it.

Then He started having me conserve electricity. I am 64, 65 in November (UGH!), and I like a lot of light in the house because the older I get, the more light I need to see. Yet, I found out that I really don't need lights on in each room, and that there are several things I can do without turning on the lights in other rooms of the house.

A dear friend of mine asked me why the Lord was having me do these things. I replied without thinking "As an example to others." I thought afterwards "That's nice God, but who is going to see me doing this?" He didn't reply.

Then (yes, all this happened last week), He had me begin a fruit-only fast, for how long I do not know. Except He let me eat normally this weekend. Today I had actually planned on having only fruit, but as I was driving down the road I was drawn to a Fuddrucker's restaurant. Now, I know that the newspaper said that Five Guys Burger Restaurant has the best burgers, but as far as I'm concerned Fuddrucker's burgers can't be beat! As I went in the front door there were several people standing in line in front of me - all of them were obese. I looked around the restaurant and most of the people in there were obese. As I sat eating my world's best hamburger I kept thinking "How are these people going to survive in a few years when there is going to be just barely enough food to survive on, sometimes not even that?"

My sisters and brothers, in just a few short years - less than five, there is going to be a great famine in this land. There will not be enough food to feed everyone. The pictures we've seen of the poor, starving people in Africa are going to be a reality in this country. Those of you who are overweight will have an extremely difficult time surviving. Do you think that in the places of refuge that there will be an abundance of food? There WILL NOT BE! There will be enough to survive on, but that will be all. If you think that others will give up their portion because you're still hungry after you've had your share, you are badly mistaken.

In addition to that, everyone in these places of refuge will be required to work, manual labor of some sort or other. Overweight people will receive no mercy because of their problem. It will be either work and eat, or not work and not eat. If you think I'm being hard about this, wait a few years and you will be glad I am telling you these things so that you can begin to change your ways now.

It is time now to get the desires of your flesh under control. If you wait, you will not survive what is coming upon this nation.

The first prophetic message I wrote on this blog, http://watchman2009.blogspot.com/2009/03/destruction-of-usa.html
will tell you about the solar storms that will cause much of this famine. This one also will give you more information: http://watchman2009.blogspot.com/2009/10/solar-storms.html

There will be during these times a drought as well as a famine. Now is the time to begin to learn good water conservation habits. Electricity will be extraordinarily expensive, so now is the time to learn how to save on electricity. Gasoline will be hard to come by and wretchedly expensive, so learn now how to conserve gas.

Now is the time to begin to get the flesh under control.

On another subject, the situation in the Gulf of Mexico is not over. What we're seeing now is a pause in the actions of the Lord. The worst is yet to come. The second rig exploding a couple of weeks ago is God's sign regarding that.

A Prayer For Judgment

2010-09-17T14:34:00.001-05:00

Lord, You have warned the people of this nation over and over for years now, but few have listened. This nation and its people are like Sodom and Gomorrah. They are like the people in the time of Noah - drinking, partying, sinning in the most detestable ways, parading their sins in the streets. They are actually proud of their abominations. They think nothing of the millions of unborn children they have murdered. They think nothing of their abomination of homosexuality, instead wanting it to be viewed as an acceptable lifestyle. They think nothing of violating their marital vows. They think nothing of cheating others, stealing from others, murdering others. They worship their proud and arrogant President, they worship their money, they worship their TVs, their worship drugs such as cocaine, they worship all their possessions, they worship their sports stars. They worship everyone but you, Lord. They call good evil, and evil good. This is a wicked and perverse generation.

Enough Lord, enough! I pray that you will now pour out not only your judgment, but also your wrath upon this wicked and ungodly nation. They have thrown You out of this nation, so I pray that You will throw them out of this nation. I pray for catastrophe upon catastrophe to be poured out upon this evil land. I pray that you will have no mercy upon them. I pray that you will unleash horror upon horror on this people until they literally bow their knees in surrender to you.

Lord, Your prophets have cried out to this people, warning them time after time after time. They have not listened, they will not listen. Instead they get worse and worse. I pray that you will now fulfill that which your servants the prophets have spoken about what You are going to do to this land for its wickedness. I pray that you will vindicate your watchmen who the people have rejected. Men and women like John Johnston - www.unitedstatesprophecy.com., Daniel Eggers - www.prayersforthepeople.com, Jan Meador - www.janmeador.com, Debbie Rennier - www.hisprophet.net, and others who have been your faithful watchmen. Vindicate them, O Lord! Show the world that they truly have been your faithful servants and that they have spoken what you have told them to speak. Vindicate them, oh Lord! Vindicate them!

Lord I do not pray for mercy for the people of this land, except for those who truly have a heart for You. I pray that You will watch over these and protect them. That You will guide them to places of refuge during the catastrophic years ahead. I pray that Your Spirit will be poured out upon them so that many will truly see Your love reflected in them. I pray for mercy for those who have been misled by their pastors and teachers. I pray that you will lead them to the ones who will remove the blinders from their eyes, who will teach them the true gospel, who will deliver them from the false doctrines that they have been taught, who will help to heal their wounded souls and hearts, who will deliver them from the forces of darkness,and who, more than anything else, will love them.

For You have raised up Your holy remnant for just this time, Oh Lord. You have raised us up to minister to the hurting, the fearful, the trembling, the wounded, the rejected and the lost during this time. Now I pray that You will release us to do Your work.

Let the words your prophets have spoken now be fulfilled.

Hermine

2010-09-07T15:04:00.000-05:00

Tropical storm Hermine came unexpected and hit the Texas/Mexico border leaving wind damage and drenching/flooding rains in many areas of Texas. Why write abbout this? The meaning of Hermine is "complete, universal; messenger; earthly". Hermine is God's earthly messenger of the complete and universal destruction that is coming unexpectedly and quickly upon this nation. Obama would not listen to God's warnings about interfering with Israel, the Lord's last warning being Hurricane Earl. Therefore the Lord sent Hermine as an harbinger of what is coming very, very soon with no more warnings.

Storm Warning

2010-09-01T12:00:00.000-05:00

It is no coincidence that hurricane Earl is headed for the east coast just as the "peace talks" with Israel and the Palestinians have begun on the east coast, in Washingtom, D.C. I can sense in that storm God's great anger towards this nation's leaders for interfering with His Holy Land. I see an irate and wrathful God in that storm. Obama has been warned to keep his hands off the Holy Land, and he has not listened. (Yes, he actually did read my letter to him in which he was warned to leave Israel alone.) This hurricane is the last warning that Obama will receive. After that, the Lord's wrath will begin to be unleashed upon this nation.

Obama's Religion

2010-08-20T16:00:00.000-05:00

For Obama to call himself a Christian is to blaspheme the name of Christ. Jesus was humble, meek and lowly of heart, He came to serve. He was filled with love, compassion and mercy. He spoke the truth. Barack Obama is egotistical, narcissistic, arrogant, condescending and patronizing. He is the most arrogant man to ever occupy the Oval Office. He has not one drop of love, mercy, campassion nor humility in him. There is no truth in him, he is the Liar-in-Chief.

He attended Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years. But when it became obvious that he would lose votes if he stayed there, he immediately left. This is not characteristic of a loyal and honorable man. Obama showed by his actions that he has no loyalty nor honor.

Is he a Christian? Certainly not! There is no evidence of Christ in him.

A Cash-only Society

2010-07-28T10:47:00.004-05:00

What???? A cash-only society?? I thought that we would have cashless society because of the mark of the beast, the chips implanted in our foreheads or hands, etc.!

Sorry to upset the apple cart, folks, but we are about to have a cash-only society here in this nation. This morning I read a story about the recent storms in Washington, D.C. that caused several hundred thousand people to be without electricity. So what, you say, that has been happening for ages. Yes, it has. However, the thing that jumped off the page at me this time was that the people could not use their credit cards in the stores because all the power, and thus the electronics, was out. The stores would accept only cash.

When the solar storms hit this nation in full force in 2012, yes that's only two years away, there will be vast sections of this country that won't have electricity. No electricity means no credit or debit cards will be able to be used, only cash. If you don't have cash, you will not be able to buy anything. How will this affect the rest of the country? I do not know at this time. But maybe we have some computer gurus out there who can advise us on this. If people can't buy anything except with cash, which most don't have much of, then they will rob, steal and murder in order to get food, water and the necessities of life. There is going to be violence like this nation has naver seen.

You need to begin to set aside cash if you are able to. If I was able to I would begin to put cash in a safety deposit box in a bank. Yes, I think those boxes are safe for now. When the time comes for you to pull it out, the Lord will let you know.

This nation is about to become a third-world country and we all need to change our ways of thinking about what we need to survive, as opposed to what we want. I have a very, very dear friend, my Kikuyu sister-in-Christ, who lives in Kenya. She lived here in Dallas, Texas for almost 20 years before the Lord sent her back to Kenya in January of last year. Although she rents a house in the city, she has a home in the village where there is no electricity and running water. Rain water is collected in cisterns, just like people in the country here used to do years ago. The people grow their own food in gardens and raise their own cows, chickens and goats.They cook over wood fires, and heat their homes in like manner. And guess what, the people still survive! For us to survive here in the future, many of us will be forced to live in a similar fashion in the places of refuge where God will send many of us. Those days are not far off.

On a similar subject, much has been written about the mark of the beast, which is spoken of in the Bible. There has been much speculation about what it would be and how it would be forced upon mankind. Here is an article from Fox News that talks about a chip that has been implanted in some already and which, I believe, will be forced upon much of the world when the Beast comes into power. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/14/radio-frequency-rfid-implant

"Having one in every person could relieve anxiety for parents and help save lives, or work on a more mundane level by unlocking doors with the wave of a hand or starting a parked car." The "need" for the chip will be "sold" as a great advance in technology which will make life "easier and safer" for everyone. "Wow, just think people, you won't need to carry cash anymore because this will allow you to just wave your hand in front of a scanner and the amount will automatically be charged to your account, or deducted from your bank account (of course, the government will have access to your accounts also). Your medical records will be instantly accessible in case of an emergency. You will always know where your children are. You won't have to carry keys anymore because this chip will automatically open your doors and start your cars just by the wave of your hand. Just think how wonderful this is going to be! Of course for this plan to work correctly, everyone must have the chip implanted in their hands." That is how easily it will be for this to come about. Most will not think twice about it. We saw how easily an antichrist, Obama, fooled the majority of the people in this nation. Just think how easily THE Antichrist will be able to fool the world with this idea.

The people that are left in this country at that time, as well as others around the world, will be forced to get the chip implanted. But the true Christians who hear from the Lord will know not to let the chip be implanted in them. That means that we will not have bank accounts because they cannot be accessed unless you have the chip. We will not have access to doctors and hospitals because we will not have the chip. We will not be able to buy food, clothing, medicine, or anything else on the open market because all these will require the chip. We will have to depend on the Lord and one another. I do believe that the Lord will supernaturally provide for many of us during that time (i.e., the loaves and the fishes).

These are perilous times, my brothers and sisters. Once again, I urge you to turn off the idiot boxes and draw close to the Lord by prayer, fasting and reading the Bible.

Addendum to message

There was some confusion in the minds of some regarding my latest message about a cashless society, then the mark of the beast, the chips implants, being forced upon most. A dear sister in Christ sent me this which I think will clear up any misunderstandings.

"Here's what I'm feeling in the spirit that we will go through a period temporarily when things are shut down and there will be a cash only society for a season, until they get the mark of the beast in place. Once there is a mainstream majority, only the mark will be accepted, and NOT cash. By that time, cash currency will likely have changed and have NO value, further trying to force people to take the mark so they can eat, or they may starve and die. If individuals are found without the mark, they will likely be martyred."

To Be A Disciple

2010-07-08T13:19:00.000-05:00

Luke 14:33 - In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple.

This is a verse I have never heard preached on in any church. I have heard taught "How to get everything that is yours in Jesus", "How to claim your rights in Jesus", "How to receive God's promises", but I have never heard this verse expounded on in any church. Today's doctrines are all about how to get what we want from God, not about how we need to be obeying God's commands. Luke 14:33 is one of His commands many of you will have to obey in the near future.

Giving up everything I had is something the Lord has required me to do twice in the past 28 years, in 1984 and in 2005. Was it something I wanted to do? Heck no!! But it was what the Lord required of me. Even now, everything I own will fit in the front seat of my truck. Am I happy about it? Absolutely not! All the precious memories, all the pictures, all the letters, all the mementos, everything that was dear to me I had to give up. Do I miss those things? Yes, I do. Did it hurt to lose them? Yes. But I have learned to be content (not happy, but content) without all those things.

In the near future many of you will be required to leave virtually everything behind when you have to flee the cities before God's judgment falls upon them. Many of you will have to flee in the face of persecution and to avoid death when the foreign armies are occupying this nation and indiscriminately killing people. Some of you along the Gulf Coast will have to flee before the destruction that is almost upon that part of the country. You will have to leave behind all your precious treasures and just take the bare essentials with you. I am telling you this ahead of time so that you can begin to ponder these things and mentally and spiritually prepare yourselves to be able to leave everything behind. If you truly want to be His disciple, you will have to give up everything. If you do not, you will be so burdened down that you will never make it to the places of refuge.

An Abomination to the Lord

2010-06-23T15:49:00.000-05:00

In the news on June 23, 2010

High school seniors in Conn. city will not be graduating in the 'year of our Lord' this year, or any future years, after someone complained about religious reference

This is regarding teens' reading material:
Turning next to bookstores, they finally found what they'd been looking for — a recent explosion in the publishing world of reads that speak to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning teens

June is also, according to the Obamination, Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Pride month.

Is it any wonder that God's judgment has already begun to be poured out upon this nation? How far we have fallen from our humble beginnings. The depths of our depravity as a nation has determined how far we will fall, how horrible that God's judgment upon this nation will be.

Catastrophe Upon Catastrophe

2010-06-07T15:07:00.050-05:00

This will be a continuing thread as more and more catastrophes hit this nation. I'll be adding to it as events occur.

In my May 11 message, America's Burial, I said: When we hear that the Lord's wrath will descend upon us and we will be destroyed "in one day", we think in human terms, while God thinks in His terms. "My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts." "A day to the Lord is like a thousand years". In this case "in one day" means step-by-step over several years of our time, catastrophe after catastrophe after catastophe after catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the beginning, the floods in Nashville were another step, the tornadoes in Oklahoma another step. These steps of destruction will continue one after another after another after another. It is my opinion that they will continue unabated, without letup.

We've had the oil spill which began on April 20, which will continue to be a problem for some time to come and will cost many $ billions to contain and cleanup (if cleanup is even possible in the marshes of Louisiana).

May 3 - there were the severe thunderstorms and the flood in Nashville which killed at least 30 people and caused over $1 billion in damage.

May 10 - violent storms and tornadoes hit Oklahoma, killing at least five people and causing tremendous damage.

June 5 - seven people were killed and over $100 million in damages occured when violent tornadoes hit Ohio and Iowa.

June 9 - Deadly flash floods hit Central Texas killing at least one and causing extensive damage.

June 10 - 20 people die in flash floods in the Ouachita Mountains of western Arkansas.

June 13 - Flash floods hit Kansas City causing extensive damage

June 14 - One dead and widespread damage as record rainfall causes flash floods in Oklahoma City and its suburbs.

Taking a Stand

2010-05-20T10:32:00.001-05:00

In Monday's Dallas Morning News newspaper there was a front-page article about how the members of First Baptist Church of Dallas, TX, one of the nation's largest Baptist churches, had pledged $115 million to renovate their facilities. This incensed me that they would spend so much money on making themselves more comfortable when so many people are hurting financially right now. I wrote the following e-mail to the newspaper on Monday.

"So First Baptist Church of Dallas is raising $115 million to remodel their buildings. What an abomination to God! In the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression, when so many people are out of work and in need of help, when so many people are hurting, instead of making a greater effort to reach out and help these people and the poor, FBC Dallas is gathering a record amount of money to revamp their property! How self-centered! What pride! What arrogance! What greed! What a complete abomination to God they are!

Oh yes, I know, they'll say that the leaders prayed about it and felt that it was God's leading to do this. Let me ask them this: "Would God approve of wasting so much money on yourselves when there are so many hurting people out there? Would God sanction such self-centeredness, such self-indulgence, such pride?" Oh, I know FBC gives money to different charities. Well, just think how much more good you could do with $115 million, instead of spending it on yourselves.

Acts 17:24,25 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelling not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is He worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.

This I promise you, you will never see the completion of the renovations because this nation will not be prosperous nor free by 2013. Read my blog wwwwatchman2009.blogspot.com to find out why. "

This is what the paper published on Wednesday.

"So First Baptist Church of Dallas is raising $115 million to remodel their buildings. What an abomination to God! In the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression, when so many people are out of work and in need of help, when so many people are hurting, instead of making a greater effort to reach out and help these people and the poor, FBC Dallas is gathering a record amount money to revamp their property! How self-centered! What pride! What arrogance! What greed! What a complete abomination to God they are!"

The time has come for us to take a stand against the greed, self-centerness, arrogance and lukewarm/cold hearts that fill the churches today. We can be silent no longer!

America's Burial

2010-05-13T14:10:00.000-05:00

Back in February I wrote about "America's Funeral" after I had been listening to the song "America The Beautiful" played by the Andre Rieu Orchestra. Last night I was listening to the same album and again listened to "America The Beautiful". This time I was struck by it as a slow, step-by-step tempo of the burial of this nation.

When we hear that the Lord's wrath will descend upon us and we will be destroyed "in one day", we think in human terms, while God thinks in His terms. "My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts." "A day to the Lord is like a thousand years". In this case "in one day" means step-by-step over several years of our time, catastrophe after catastrophe after catastophe after catastrophe. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the beginning, the floods in Nashville were another step, the tornadoes in Oklahoma another step. These steps of destruction will continue one after another after another after another. It is my opinion that they will continue unabated, without letup.

When will it all end? - "Isa 16:13 - This is the word the LORD has already spoken concerning the USA. 14 But now the LORD says: "Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab's splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble". Does that mean that these catastrophes will stop then? No, it simply means that within three years this nation will cease to exist as we now know it. The nation's splendor will be gone and there will be few survivors.

That is how close we are to the end, people. The next few years are going to be extremely hard for everyone, especially for those who do not know the Lord. But they will also be extremely difficult for those who think they are Christians, but who daily chase after the things of this world. Again, I call upon the Christians in this nation to repent and turn your eyes to the Lord, for He is the only one who you will be able to trust in the coming days. He is the only one who will able to lead you in the coming days. Turn off the idiot boxes and turn to the Lord in prayer, fasting and reading the Bible - that is the only way you will have the strength to endure to the end. Only he that endures to the end will be saved.

A Harbinger Of Things To Come

2010-05-03T16:10:00.000-05:00

In my first post on here "The Destruction of the USA", I wrote about the solar storms that were predicted by scientists to hit the earth in 2011-2012, with the USA being devastated by them (this part being from the Lord). I also posted another article about solar storms several months later.

Here is the link to an article about a satellite hit by a solar storm and the results of that. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/05/03/intense-solar-storm-spins-satellite-control/?test=latestnews

When the major storms hit this nation in 2011-2012, the majority of our satellites will be blinded and/or destroyed. Notice, I said nothing about Russian or Chinese satellites being destroyed - God controls even the solar storms. We will be completely blinded and defenseless when this happens. That is when the Russians will hit us with nuclear weapons and demand our surrender. That is also when our proud, conceited, arrogant and egotistical President will be completely humiliated - when he bows his knees in surrender to the Russians.

The Darkness Has Begun

2010-05-03T11:04:00.001-05:00

As always the Lord does things the opposite of the way man thinks He is going to do them. Instead of the darkness beginning from above the earth, the darkness has started flowing from beneath the earth. The recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexco did not come from the north either, instead it came from the south. Man has his ideas of how God is going to do things, God has different ideas. "For My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts."

In my recent message "Light Into The Darkness" I said "We've done what we can and, thank the Lord, some have listened. But the time is at hand when the warnings will cease. The time is at hand when great calamity upon calamity upon calamity will be poured out upon this nation and its people, the Lord's wrath will no longer be delayed". His wrath has begun. The time for warnings has passed.

This oil spill is going to be worse than anyone can imagine, it is going to be absolutely catastrophic. The economic, ecological and environmental damage from this are going to be unbelieveable. It is going to destroy one of the greatest fisheries in the world. Not only will fish be destroyed by this, but also crabs, shrimp, oysters, birds and countless other types of wildlife that inhabit the Gulf Coast. When it hits the beaches in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida it will destroy the tourism industry in those regions. Businesses will close and people will lose their jobs. Prices of seafood will skyrocket. Inflation will begin in ways that we never expected. Hyperinflation is just a step away.

Yesterday the Obamination said ""Your government will do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to stop this crisis." What he forgot is that "If calamity come upon a city (or nation) is it not I who sent it, says the Lord". No one, not even this nation's government and all its resources can stay the hand of the Lord.

The Reason Churches Don't Work Like They Should

2010-04-23T15:15:00.003-05:00

Why don't churches function the way they should? Why don't we see the spiritual power of the Lord today like they had in the first century church? Why don't teachers have the annointing they should so their words are sharper than any two-edged sword and penetrate to the bone and marrow? Why do we see so many proud and materialistic pastors who are misleading (or even not leading) their flocks? Where are the true shepherds of the Lord? How come the churches are so cold or lukewarm? Why are the churches so devoid of love?

The reason that churches are so messed up is because we have built them on man's order of authority, not God's.

God's order of spiritual authority is: Eph 2:20 "The church is built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets.." Nowhere does it say that the church is built upon the foundation of the pastor and/or the elders.

1Cor 12:28 - And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, divers kinds of tongues.

Eph 4:11 "It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers...." This is the only verse in the Bible where pastors are mentioned, one time and one time only. Yet we have made pastors the kings of the churches.

In every instance in the Bible the apostle is the one who is mentioned as the head of spiritual authority in the church. Paul often spoke of using his apostolic authority over the churches - 2Cor 13:10 "This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority." The apostles were also the ones who appointed the elders in the churches - Acts 14:23 "Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church", Titus 1:5 (Titus was an apostle) " The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished, and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you to".

Acts 15:6 "The apostles and elders met to consider the question", Acts 16:4 "As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey", Acts 15:23 " The apostles and elders, your brothers ... to the Gentiles ....." All these verses speak of the apostles’ authority in the churches and how they are set apart from the elders – for it doesn’t say just “elders”, but “apostles and elders”, making them a separate entity from the elders.

Gal 1:1 "Paul, an apostle sent not from men nor by man, but by Christ Jesus and God the Father". Today's concept of an apostle is "one sent", referring to missionaries sent by churches, usually to foreign countries. This is in direct conflict with what Paul says, because he was not sent by men, but by God. Nor was he a "missionary" in the way we think of that term today. He was sent by God to found churches, appoint elders and to have spiritual oversight and authority over those churches. If he was simply a missionary he could not speak about his authority over the churches, nor would he have the authority to appoint elders.

We see "type" of apostle in the O.T. in Melchizidek, he was a king and a priest. Jesus was called a high priest to the order of Melchizedek, in other words a king/priest. The apostles of today are also king/priests and are the head of spiritual authority in the churches. They are given a very special overview of God's plan for the churches, something that is given to no one else. They see God's whole plan for a church, as opposed to bits and pieces that others see. They are given God's authority to found churches and choose elders. That's quite different from the way churches operate today, isn't it? "And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets...." How far we have strayed from God's plan for the churches .

Prophets are given special abilities to see specific problem areas in churches and to point these out to the spiritual authorities in the church. We are also given the authority to anoint people for service. We work very closely with the apostles in the church.

I have never yet met a proud apostle or a proud prophet, but I have met many proud teachers, pastors and evangelists. God puts his apostles and prophets through the fires of affliction while He is raising them up. He humbles and breaks each and every one of them. A person does not mature spiritually except by suffering, and apostles and prophets suffer a lot so that they can be spiritually mature. We share in the fellowship of His sufferings, literally, so that we will be mature in Christ.

Where the churches got the idea that the pastor was the head of the church is beyond me, it is not scriptural, it is not the way God ordained for it to be. The term "pastor" is only mentioned once in the whole Bible, yet the churches today have raised up the pastors to be their kings, their idols whom they have given control over the churches. Nowhere in the Bible is this authorized, it is completely out of God's order. God's order is "first of all apostles, second prophets...." Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."

Matt 23:8 "But you are not to be called "Rabbi", for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth "father", for you only have one Father, and He is in Heaven (I believe that this was written specifically for Catholics who call their priests "Father"). Nor are you to be called "teacher", for you have one Teacher, the Christ". Can we not say also "you are not to be called "pastor", because you have only one Pastor, Jesus"? Mark 7:8 "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men".

99.9% of the churches do not have apostles and prophets because they don't want them. The pastors either don't believe they exist or they are afraid of the authority of apostles and prophets. The few churches that do have apostles and prophets still have a hard time functioning properly because the apostles don't understand their authority and responsibility. They try to be the pastor and the teacher, as well as the apostle.

I have seen the office of the apostle function properly on three occasions in my travels to the churches over the past 27 years. The apostle began the service, then after a little while he turned it over to the pastor or teacher. The apostle went over to the side and was out of sight for all practical purposes. But while the service was going on the apostle controlled the spirit of the service by his spiritual authority and prayers. No one noticed him, nor paid any attention to him, but I saw spiritually what was happening.

There are apostles and prophets of the churches - they sit in the office of apostle and prophet in the church. And there are apostles and prophets to the churches - they are like consultants whom the Lord uses to look at the operation of a church from an outsider's perspective and who can see problems that the ones in the churches cannot see.

When will we see the church operate like it is supposed to, under God's order of spiritual authority? Probably not until the Millenial period, which is coming shortly. We are beginning to see bits and pieces of it now, but I do not believe that we will see it operating properly until Jesus comes to rule and reign. Now man rules and reigns, that's why the churches are so pathetic.

Light in the Darkness

2010-04-10T12:36:00.001-05:00

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not understand it." John 1:5

Many of us have been trying to warn our brothers and sisters-in-the-Lord about what is coming upon this nation. We have tried to warn the churches about what is coming. We have been rejected, laughed at, scorned and ridiculed, argued with and have been looked down upon with contempt. Few have listened to the message. Few will be prepared for what is coming, only the humble and meek of heart.

The light, the Holy Spirit, has been trying to shine in the darkness, the dead churches, but they have not understood it. The Light has been trying to shed light upon what is about to be poured out upon this country, but the darkness refuses to believe the warnings.

We've done what we can and, thank the Lord, some have listened. But the time is at hand when the warnings will cease. The time is at hand when great calamity upon calamity upon calamity will be poured out upon this nation and its people, the Lord's wrath will no longer be delayed.

This is a message that I drafted in early December, but the Lord would not let me publish it until today. That tells me time is very, very short, judgment is at hand.

Thank You!

2010-04-02T11:41:00.001-05:00

This is not a prophetic message from the Lord, it is a personal message from my heart. I just want to thank all of you who have sent words of support and encouragement since I began this blog last year. Many of those messages have touched my heart very deeply, especiallly the ones in which people tell me how the Lord led them to this site and how it has changed their lives, how it has challenged them to get closer to the Lord and begin to prepare for the horrors that God is about to unleash upon this nation. I have also been touched by the number of people who have asked to be included on my mailing list for the blog.

When the Lord had me begin this blog in March of last year with the prophetic message "The Destruction of the USA", I had no idea how people would be led to the site to read it. The Lord had me post it on a number of so-called "Christian forums" where the responses were unbelieveably negative and hostile. But I guess that enough people saw it and believed in the message, that they began to follow my blog and to send it to their friends. I have no idea how many people actually follow it now, but I have received responses from people literally all over the world. 98% of those responses are positive, are encouraging, are supportive and are confirming. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything like this. It has truly been humbling and heart-warming to know that the Lord has used this site to reach so many people so that they can draw closer to Him and prepare for what is coming very, very quickly upon this nation.

A prophet doesn't need people confirming the words the Lord gives him to speak - we speak them out of obedience to the Lord, regardless of the consequences. We expect opposition and attacks because most people won't listen. But it is comforting, encouraging and uplifting to hear from so many of you who tell me that the Lord has been speaking to you about the very things I've written about on my blog. It is nice to hear confirming voices. Thank you all!

The End Has Come

2010-03-23T12:14:00.000-05:00

Ezekiel 7
The End Has Come
1 The word of the LORD came to me: 2 "Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the United States of America: The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land. 3 The end is now upon you and I will unleash my anger against you. I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. 4 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will surely repay you for your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
5 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Disaster! An unheard-of disaster is coming. 6 The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. It has come! 7 Doom has come upon you—you who dwell in the land. The time has come, the day is near; there is panic, not joy, upon the mountains. 8 I am about to pour out my wrath on you and spend my anger against you; I will judge you according to your conduct and repay you for all your detestable practices. 9 I will not look on you with pity or spare you; I will repay you in accordance with your conduct and the detestable practices among you. Then you will know that it is I the LORD who strikes the blow.

10 "The day is here! It has come! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! 11 Violence has grown into [b] a rod to punish wickedness; none of the people will be left, none of that crowd—no wealth, nothing of value. 12 The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for wrath is upon the whole crowd. 13 The seller will not recover the land he has sold as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve his life. 14 Though they blow the trumpet and get everything ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is upon the whole crowd.

15 "Outside is the sword, inside are plague and famine; those in the country will die by the sword, and those in the city will be devoured by famine and plague. 16 All who survive and escape will be in the mountains, moaning like doves of the valleys, each because of his sins. 17 Every hand will go limp, and every knee will become as weak as water. 18 They will put on sackcloth and be clothed with terror. Their faces will be covered with shame and their heads will be shaved. 19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the LORD's wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin. 20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols and vile images. Therefore I will turn these into an unclean thing for them. 21 I will hand it all over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked of the earth, and they will defile it. 22 I will turn my face away from them, and they will desecrate my treasured place; robbers will enter it and desecrate it.

23 "Prepare chains, because the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of violence. 24 I will bring the most wicked of the nations to take possession of their houses; I will put an end to the pride of the mighty, and their sanctuaries will be desecrated. 25 When terror comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none. 26 Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will try to get a vision from the prophet; the teaching of the law by the priest will be lost, as will the counsel of the elders. 27 The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them. Then they will know that I am the LORD."

" Barack Obama I warned you NOT TO TOUCH MY HOLY LAND! Yet in your arrogance and pride you and your top officials CONDEMNED MY PEOPLE AND MY LAND!! You are trying to force my people into splitting My Holy City! You also recently split your own nation by forcing open the jaws of the citizens and forcing them to swallow an abomination called Obamacare.

"Therefore says the Lord God I will physically split your nation in two with an earthquake like has never occured before. It will begin in the city where you began your corrupt and detestable political career, Chicago, and will split open the earth to the Gulf of Mexico. It will cause a chasm in the earth that will swallow up cities and people. Millions will die and the devastation will be beyond belief. The blood of everyone who dies will be upon your hands for all eternity, you will never escape the guilt.

"This is the beginning of horrors that will be unleashed upon the USA, just the beginning."

Using these messages on other sites

2010-03-06T14:05:00.000-06:00

Several people have written me asking if they can post my messages on their sites. Anyone who reads this blog has my permission to use any of these prophetic messages wherever they would like to. The idea is to get the word out to as many as possible so that they will be better prepared for the horrors that God is about to unleash upon the USA.

America's Funeral

2010-02-17T20:28:00.003-06:00

Tonight I was listening to a CD by the Andre Rieu orchestra on which they played "America The Beautiful". This rendition was played very slowly and it reminded me of a funeral dirge. My immediate thought was that this was America's funeral song being played. It brought tears to my eyes because I knew that America's funeral has begun. God have mercy on His servants.

Added on Feb. 26: Again last night I listened to this CD and a picture came to my mind as it was playing. I could see soldiers in their full dress uniforms carrying a casket that had an American flag draped on it - it was America's casket.

Major Earthquakes Coming to USA

2010-02-12T14:34:00.006-06:00

For several months I have been reading prophetic words about a major earthquake which was going to hit along the New Madrid Faultline, with Chicago being destroyed along with other cities. I read these things but don't post about them until I know that these prophecies are from the Lord. There is now no question in my mind that there are a series of major earthquakes coming that will literally shake this nation, physically and emotionally. They will be catastrophic! They will kill millions and the destruction will be indescribable. The quake in Haiti will seem like a minor tremor compared to what is about to happen here in this country. The earth is literally going to open up and swallow people into itself.

In the past few months we have seen earthquakes in Haiti, Baja California, many minor tremors in Yellowstone Park and Oklahoma, even one in Texas, just south of Dallas. And two days ago there was a 4.3 quake near Chicago. These are harbingers of what is to come, and they are coming quickly. Even now as I write this I feel a quaking in my spirit, almost like I can literally feel a quake happening here in Dallas right now.

I believe that the quakes will have something to do with this nation's actions against Israel. We know that the Obamination is against Israel, regardless of what he may say in public. Something is coming that will cause the Obamination to strongly condemn or even break ties with Israel. It may have something to do with splitting Jerusalem between the Israelites and the Palestinians. The Lord says to you Barak Obama "Keep your hands off my Holy City!"

Obama has been humiliated recently with the gubernatorinal posts in two states going to Republicans and the Senator's race in Massachusetts won by a Republican. His healthcare plan is now in great jeopardy. The polls show him losing strength. He needs to do something to regain his pride and his political power. That thing may be a move to try and get Israel to divide the Holy City. It will result in the USA being split in two by earthquakes.

He is the most conceited, egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, condescending and patronizing man ever to occupy the Oval Office. And he is also half-black. God is going to use our proud, arrogant half-black President to surrender this nation to the Russians when they hit us with nuclear bombs, probably in 2012. He will bow his knees in surrender to them, his humiliation will be complete. We didn't go to Africa and capture the Africans, but we most certainly did use them as slaves here in this country. So God, in His own ironic way, will use our first half-black President to cede this country into slavery. And make no doubt about it, our citizens will be slaves, many will be sent overseas to work as slaves in other nations. God's judgment upon this nation will be worse than anyone can imagine.

The only hope you can personally have is in the Lord. I keep repeating this over and over and over - now is the time to turn off the idiot boxes and turn to the Lord. You need to develop a very close, personal relationship with Him so that He can lead you to safety during the horrible times that are coming.

This morning I received this e-mail:
"I have read your blog with trembling. I have recently sat under ‘name it and claim it’ theology, and I have spent a lifetime ignoring the reality of God’s judgment. I want to mock your words and just cast them aside, but I am unable to do that. I am trembling. I have been led to your site and the revelation therein is truly life changing. Your instruction to lay everything aside and start reading the Bible has been on my heart for some time. I have not been obedient in that. I am grateful that God led me to this site and reaffirmed this critical truth to me yet again.God bless you".

I sat at my computer with tears in my eyes because I was so touched by this e-mail. To know that the Lord had removed the scales from someone's eyes and shown them the truth through what He instructed me to write, is one of the greatest rewards I have ever received. I pray that He will use this blogsite to bring many more to the truth and to prepare them for the horrors that He is about to unleash on this ungodly nation. God have mercy on His servants.

THUS SAYETH THE LORD GOD OF HOSTS

From Jeremiah

2:5 - 25 This is what the LORD says: "What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me? They followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves
2:11 - Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their Glory for worthless idols.
2:20-30 - "Long ago you broke off your yoke and tore off your bonds; you said, 'I will not serve you!' Indeed, on every high hill and under every spreading tree you lay down as a prostitute. 21 I had planted you like a choice vine of sound and reliable stock. How then did you turn against me into a corrupt, wild vine? 22 Although you wash yourself with soda and use an abundance of soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me," declares the Sovereign Lord. 23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals'? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done. You are a swift she-camel running here and there, 24 a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving-- in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her. 25 Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. But you said, 'It's no use! I love foreign gods, and I must go after them.' 26 "As a thief is disgraced when he is caught, so the United States of America is disgraced-- they, their President and their officials, their priests and their prophets. 27 They say to wood, 'You are my father,' and to stone, 'You gave me birth.' They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, 'Come and save us!' 28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves? Let them come if they can save you when you are in trouble! For you have as many gods as you have towns. 29 "Why do you bring charges against me? You have all rebelled against me," declares the Lord. 30 "In vain I punished your people; they did not respond to correction. Your sword has devoured your prophets like a ravening lion.
3:1 - If a man divorces his wife and she leaves him and marries another man, should he return to her again? Would not the land be completely defiled? But you have lived as a prostitute with many lovers-- would you now return to me?" declares the Lord.
3:21 - A cry is heard on the barren heights, the weeping and pleading of the people of America, because they have perverted their ways and have forgotten the LORD their God.
4:5-22 - "Announce in America and say: 'Sound the trumpet throughout the land!' Cry aloud and say: 'Gather together! Let us flee to the fortified cities!' 6 Raise the signal to go to Zion! Flee for safety without delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, even terrible destruction." 7 A lion has come out of his lair; a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to lay waste your land. Your towns will lie in ruins without inhabitant. 8 So put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from us. 9 "In that day," declares the Lord, "Obama and the officials will lose heart, the priests will be horrified, and the prophets will be appalled." 10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, how completely you have deceived this people by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats." 11 At that time this people and their country will be told, "A scorching wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward my people, but not to winnow or cleanse; 12 a wind too strong for that comes from me. Now I pronounce my judgments against them." 13 Look! He advances like the clouds, his chariots come like a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! We are ruined! 14 O America, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? 15 A voice is announcing from Dan, proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim. 16 "Tell this to the nation, proclaim it to the USA: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of your country. 17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,' " declares the Lord. 18 "Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" 19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. 20 Disaster follows disaster; the whole land lies in ruins. In an instant my tents are destroyed, my shelter in a moment. 21 How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the trumpet? 22 "My people are fools; they do not know me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil; they know not how to do good.
4:27-28 - This is what the LORD says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. 28 Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back5:11-13 - The United States of America has been utterly unfaithful to me," declares the Lord. 12 They have lied about the Lord; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine. 13 The prophets are but wind and the word is not in them; so let what they say be done to them
5:15-19 - O America," declares the Lord, "I am bringing a distant nation against you-- an ancient and enduring nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you do not understand. 16 Their quivers are like an open grave; all of them are mighty warriors. 17 They will devour your harvests and food, devour your sons and daughters; they will devour your flocks and herds, devour your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust. 18 "Yet even in those days," declares the Lord, "I will not destroy you completely. 19 And when the people ask, 'Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?' you will tell them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.'5:26-29 - Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. 27 Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful 28 and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor.
5:30-31 - A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: 31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?
6:6-7 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Washington, D.C. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression. 7 As a well pours out its water, so she pours out her wickedness. Violence and destruction resound in her; her sickness and wounds are ever before me.
6:10-23 - To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it. 11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord, and I cannot hold it in. "Pour it out on the children in the street and on the young men gathered together; both husband and wife will be caught in it, and the old, those weighed down with years. 12 Their houses will be turned over to others, together with their fields and their wives, when I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land," declares the Lord. 13 "From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. 14 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. 15 Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the Lord. 16 This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, 'We will not walk in it.' 17 I appointed watchmen over you and said, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But you said, 'We will not listen.' 18 Therefore hear, O nations; observe, O witnesses, what will happen to them. 19 Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law. 20 What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please me." 21 Therefore this is what the LORD says: "I will put obstacles before this people. Fathers and sons alike will stumble over them; neighbors and friends will perish." 22 This is what the LORD says: "Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth. 23 They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you.
7:16 - So do not pray for this people nor offer any plea or petition for them; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you. 7:20 - 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My anger and my wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground, and it will burn and not be quenched.
7:27-29 - When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you; when you call to them, they will not answer. 28 Therefore say to them, 'This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away; take up a lament on the barren heights, for the LORD has rejected and abandoned this generation that is under his wrath.
7:34 - I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns and the streets of America, for the land will become desolate.
8:3 - Wherever I banish them, all the survivors of this evil nation will prefer death to life, declares the LORD Almighty.'
8:13 - 'I will take away their harvest, declares the Lord. There will be no grapes on the vine. There will be no figs on the tree, and their leaves will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them. '
8:16 - The snorting of the enemy's horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.
9:8-16 - Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks with deceit. With his mouth each speaks cordially to his neighbor, but in his heart he sets a trap for him. 9 Should I not punish them for this?" declares the Lord. "Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?" 10 I will weep and wail for the mountains and take up a lament concerning the desert pastures. They are desolate and untraveled, and the lowing of cattle is not heard. The birds of the air have fled and the animals are gone. 11 "I will make America a heap of ruins, a haunt of jackals; and I will lay waste their towns so no one can live there." 12 What man is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the LORD and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross? 13 The LORD said, "It is because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them; they have not obeyed me or followed my law. 14 Instead, they have followed the stubbornness of their hearts; they have followed the Baals, as their fathers taught them." 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "See, I will make this people eat bitter food and drink poisoned water. 16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them.
9:22 - Say, "This is what the LORD declares: " 'The dead bodies of men will lie like refuse on the open field, like cut grain behind the reaper, with no one to gather them.'
10:18 - For this is what the LORD says: "At this time I will hurl out those who live in this land; I will bring distress on them so that they may be captured."
10:22 - Listen! The report is coming-- a great commotion from the land of the north! It will make their towns desolate, a haunt of jackals
11:11 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
11:16 - The LORD called you a thriving olive tree with fruit beautiful in form. But with the roar of a mighty storm he will set it on fire, and its branches will be broken.
11:22 - therefore this is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish them. Their young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters by famine.
12:11-13 - It will be made a wasteland, parched and desolate before me; the whole land will be laid waste because there is no one who cares. 12 Over all the barren heights in the desert destroyers will swarm, for the sword of the LORD will devour from one end of the land to the other; no one will be safe. 13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns; they will wear themselves out but gain nothing. So bear the shame of your harvest because of the LORD's fierce anger.
13:18-25 - Say to the President and to the First Lady, "Come down from your thrones, for your glorious crowns will fall from your heads." 19 The cities will be shut up, and there will be no one to open them. All will be carried into exile, carried completely away. 20 Lift up your eyes and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was entrusted to you, the sheep of which you boasted? 21 What will you say when [the LORD] sets over you those you cultivated as your special allies? Will not pain grip you like that of a woman in labor? 22 And if you ask yourself, "Why has this happened to me?"-- it is because of your many sins that your skirts have been torn off and your body mistreated. 23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. 24 "I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind. 25 This is your lot, the portion I have decreed for you," declares the Lord, "because you have forgotten me and trusted in false gods.
14:10-16 - This is what the LORD says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins." 11 Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague." 13 But I said, "Ah, Sovereign Lord, the prophets keep telling them, 'You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.' " 14 Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore, this is what the LORD says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.' Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.
15:1-2 - 1 Then the LORD said to me: "Even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people. Send them away from my presence! Let them go! 2 And if they ask you, 'Where shall we go?' tell them, 'This is what the LORD says: " 'Those destined for death, to death; those for the sword, to the sword; those for starvation, to starvation; those for captivity, to captivity.' 15:6-9 - You have rejected me," declares the Lord. "You keep on backsliding. So I will lay hands on you and destroy you; I can no longer show compassion. 7 I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways. 8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror. 9 The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies," declares the Lord.
15:13-14 - Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder, without charge, because of all your sins throughout your country. 14 I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for my anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you
16:6-7 - Both high and low will die in this land.8 They will not be buried or mourned,9 and no one will cut10 himself or shave11 his head for them. 7 No one will offer food12 to comfort those who mourn13 for the dead--not even for a father or a mother--nor will anyone give them a drink to console14 them.
16:9 - For this is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Before your eyes and in your days I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in this place
16:13 - So I will throw you out of this land into a land neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.'
16:16-18 - "But now I will send for many fishermen," declares the Lord, "and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks. 17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes. 18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols
17:3-4 - My mountain in the land and your wealth and all your treasures I will give away as plunder, together with your high places, because of sin throughout your country. 4 Through your own fault you will lose the inheritance I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for you have kindled my anger, and it will burn forever.
18:15-17 - Yet my people have forgotten me; they burn incense to worthless idols, which made them stumble in their ways and in the ancient paths. They made them walk in bypaths and on roads not built up. 16 Their land will be laid waste, an object of lasting scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will shake their heads. 17 Like a wind from the east, I will scatter them before their enemies; I will show them my back and not my face in the day of their disaster
18:23 - Do not forgive their crimes or blot out their sins from your sight. Let them be overthrown before you; deal with them in the time of your anger
19:3-4 - 'Hear the word of the Lord, O Barak Obama and people of America. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods; they have burned sacrifices in it to gods that neither they nor their fathers nor their leaders ever knew, and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
19:6-9 - So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will no longer call this place Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 " 'In this place I will ruin the plans Washington, D.C.. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, at the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. 8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives
19:15 - This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on this city and the villages around it every disaster I pronounced against them, because they were stiff-necked and would not listen to my words.'
20:4-6 - For this is what the LORD says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will hand all America over to the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. 5 I will hand over to their enemies all the wealth of this city--all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the Presidents. They will take it away as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. 6 And you,Barak Obama, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.'
21:4-7 - 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians who are outside the wall besieging you. And I will gather them inside this city. 5 I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in anger and fury and great wrath. 6 I will strike down those who live in this city--both men and animals--and they will die of a terrible plague.
21:10 - I have determined to do this city harm and not good, declares the Lord. It will be given into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will destroy it with fire.
21:13-14 - I am against you, you who live above this valley on the rocky plateau, declares the Lord-- you who say, "Who can come against us? Who can enter our refuge?" 14 I will punish you as your deeds deserve, declares the Lord. I will kindle a fire in your forests that will consume everything around you.'
22:26-27 - I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. 27 You will never come back to the land you long to return to.
23:1-2 - Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds who tend my people: "Because you have scattered my flock and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil you have done," declares the Lord
23:11-13 - Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the Lord. 12 "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall. I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the Lord.
23:16-25 - This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord. 17 They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.' And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? 19 See, the storm of the LORD will burst out in wrath, a whirlwind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. 23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the Lord, "and not a God far away? 24 Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?" declares the Lord. "Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the Lord
23:30-32 - Therefore," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The LORD declares.' 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the Lord. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the Lord
25:34-38 - Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery. 35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee, the leaders of the flock no place to escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the Lord. 38 Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the LORD's fierce anger

From Amos

3:6-8 - When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?(Think of The Twin Towers, Hurricane Katrina, Haiti) 7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. 8 The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy
7:17 - Therefore this is what the LORD says: " 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And America will certainly go into exile, away from their native land
8:3 - In that day," declares the Sovereign Lord, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies--flung everywhere! Silence
8:10-12 - I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land-- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. 12 Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. 9:10 - All the sinners among my people will die by the sword, all those who say, 'Disaster will not overtake or meet us.'

From Obadiah

2-4 - "See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. 3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?' 4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the Lord.
6-7 - But how the United States will be ransacked, her hidden treasures pillaged! 7 All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not detect it.

A Double Warning

2010-01-14T12:00:00.007-06:00

We all remember how God virtually destroyed New Orleans by sending hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now He sent an eartquake that has devastated Haiti. What do these two catastrophies have in common? Both New Orleans and Haiti are predominately Catholic and both are heavily into voodoo and black magic. The Catholic Church turns a blind eye to the evil of voodoo and black magic, they just wink their eyes at it and act like it is ok. It is never preached against.

The Catholic Church sanctions Mardi Gras, which is millions of people out on the streets of New Orleans waving their hands at the floats in the parades, floats which are named after Greek gods and godesses. It is a pagan festival which the Catholic Church supports and encourages. I am originally from New Orleans, as well as being a former Catholic who was taught by the nuns and the Jesuit priests, so I know what I'm talking about.

As I said in my last prophetic message, the earthquake in Haiti is a dire warning to the people in this country about the catastrophies which are coming upon this country. As I said in "The Destruction of the USA", Katrina was a severe warning about the deviant sexual and spiritual practices in this country. How much more explicit can God be before we listen to Him? Don't these two calamities register as warnings from the Lord? How many churches do you think will preach about these two events as being omens from Heaven? How many so-called "Christians" do you think will listen and heed God's threats?

To the Catholic Church: How long before you open your eyes and see what a pit of evil you have become? What else can the Lord do to warn you about the calamities that are about to befall you because of your deviant spiritual practices? Do you truly believe that God turns His eyes from the wicked things that you just wink at? Do you think that He is not concerned that you teach your sheep to worship everyone but Him - Mary, the "saints", plastic idols, the monstrance, the host that you teach is miraculously turned into the body and blood of Jesus Christ?

Just as New Orleans and Haiti saw horrible catastrophies befall them, so also shall you, the Catholic Church, see destruction come upon you suddenly and without warning. Just as the diocese's palace in Haiti was destroyed, so also shall the Vatican be destroyed if you do not turn from your wicked and evil ways. He who has ears to hear, let him listen.

God's warning to this nation, the USA

2010-01-13T12:03:00.004-06:00

The devasting earthquake in Haiti was a dire warning to the people of the USA about what is coming upon this country very, very soon. Great portions of this nation will be destroyed in an instant, there will be no way to prepare. Disaster will suddenly come upon this country, disaster after disaster after disaster. The Lord will lead many to safety before this happens, but many of His people will die during the coming judgment. You must be prepared to meet the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Your lamps of love must be lit. Your hearts must be humble.

You must be very, very close to the Lord in the coming days - that comes through prayer, fasting and reading of the Word. When you see Mount Rushmore fall, then many of you will need to immediately leave the cities where you are - those whom the Lord has instructed to do this. Right after the fall of Mount Rushmore, then the solar storms will hit major areas of this country. When that happens your cars will not run because the electronics will be fried, the water will not be on in your homes because there will be no electricity to power the pumping stations, there will be no electricity to heat your homes, none to cook with, none to light your way. The confusion and fear in those cities will be horrendous, so you must get out before the storms hit. Those who are listening to the Lord will know what cities to leave, and when. Do not ask me what cities, because I do not know. That is something on which the Lord must lead each one of you individually. He who has an ear to hear, let him ear.

If you wait until it is too late, you will be trapped in the cities that are hit. There will be tremendous fires that cannot be put out because of the lack of water pressure. Crime will be unbelievable. Food and water will be non-existant. This nation will truly become a nation of refuges. Prepare while you can - fast, pray and read the Bible.

2009-12-27T13:37:00.006-06:00

Recently I posted an article on my blog entitled "Sports Stadium Destroyed?". In that message I wrote:

"We all know how Americans LOVE their sports. Their idols are sports "heros" who perform their "miracles" in stadiums (football, baseball, soccer, basketball, etc). Much of the time when men get together they talk about sports and how their "heros" are doing. These "heros" have become their idols, even though so many of them are nothing but scumbags who have no morals, no character, no honor and no integrity. Too many people worship these overpaid spoiled brats and pay literally thousands of dollars each year to go and worship their idols. Every Sunday millions of Americans worship their idols in the stadiums, or on the idiot box. God has had enough of this false idol worship and is about to send a warning to the people of this nation. Most will not listen."

God fired His warning shot recently when one of the biggest names in sports was humilated and forced to leave the game. Tiger Woods was recently named Sportsman of the Decade. He was an idol to millions of Americans. He made hundreds of millions in product endorsements and was a billionaire. In a matter of a few days God destroyed him. His wife and children left him, the companies that paid him millions to advertise their products have rejected him, and Woods has left the game of golf for the foreseeable future.

This man whom so many looked up to as almost a god, has proven to be quite human - a man with no morals and no character, no honor and no integrity, just like the US President.

Woods is the first of many of man's idols who God is going to destroy in the next year or two. I believe that Oprah Winfrey will be brought down in short order. But Tiger Woods was God's warning to those who have made sports stars their idols and gods. "I will have no false gods before Me". Repent and change your ways or great disaster will quickly overtake you.

Jer 2:5 - This is what the LORD says:
"What fault did your fathers find in me,
that they strayed so far from me?
They followed worthless idols
and became worthless themselves.

Jer 2:11 - Has a nation ever changed its gods?
(Yet they are not gods at all.)
But my people have exchanged their Glory
for worthless idols.

Your Ark and the Coming Flood

2009-12-02T15:43:00.009-06:00

For years now many of you have been ark-building and you didn't even know it. What you thought was a horrible way that God had forced you to live - i.e. giving up your jobs, your homes, your precious possessions - was actually a building process. You were building your arks of faith and trust in the Lord while most, if not all, of your friends, family and other Christians didn't understand, laughed at you, thought you were crazy and told you that you were not hearing from the Lord. They judged you, condemned you and ridiculed you, just as they did to Noah when he was building his boat.

The process has not been easy. Instead, it has been very, very painful and very, very lonely. It has cost many of you, including myself, literally everything. Your lives, and mine, have been turned upside down. Everything that used to be normal is now abnormal. Everything that used to be abnormal is now normal. You, and I, long for some semblance of normality in our lives again because what we have had to go through has been absolutely horrendous - terribly, terribly painful. It has been the worst nightmare that we could have ever dreamed.

But we have been building our arks of faith all this time. The Lord has taught us to trust Him in every way, for everything. But trusting Him to provide for us has been many times met with bitter disappointment after bitter disappointment after bitter disappointment. Many time we wanted to give up, but God would not let us. But we are still alive and our faith is now much stronger than it ever was before. Our arks of faith are just about finished and God is getting ready to tell us to enter our arks.

These arks of faith are what we will enter when His judgment is poured out upon this nation, very, very soon. We have learned how to listen to Him, how to hear Him and how to obey Him. When He says to pack up and move, we will pack up and move, not always knowing where we will be moving to. When He says to go here, we will go here. When He says to go there, we will go there. We will be like Abraham, moving from place to place, from refuge to refuge. Some He will settle down in one place, others He will keep moving from place to place. But we will continually be in our arks of faith. We will move upon the floodwaters of evil and catastrophic judgment that will be unleashed upon this nation, but we will be at peace and we will experience God's supernatural protection and provision.

Wherever He tells us to go, they will be places where we will minister to others who have not been prepared as we have. The fearful we will lead to peace. The wounded and hurting we will comfort and heal. The trembling hearts we will still. The blind (to what is happening, and why) we will help see the truth. The captives (to the lies and false doctrines of today's churches) we will set free.

Others God has been instructing to build physical arks, places of refuge and safety. These will be places where you can be self-sufficient during the traumatic times that are coming. Places that you and your families, as well as others can survive during the coming years. It is now time to begin loading these arks with provisions - food, clothing, blankets, water purification tablets, candles, propane stoves, medical supplies, toiletries, etc., whatever the Lord puts upon your heart to store. THAT IS THE KEY for all of you, whatever THE LORD tells you personally to do. If you don't know how to plant a garden and grow vegetables and fruits, now is the time to learn - it is also the time to begin storing up seeds for planting during those times. If you can now plant fruit trees in these places of refuge, I urge you to do so.

The reason I say that it is now time to begin loading your arks is because when hyperinflation hits this country (and I suspect that it will happen in the latter part of next year), the prices of everything will skyrocket. It will cost much less if you can begin to purchase the items you will need beginning now, little by little. But before you do anything, PRAY, PRAY and PRAY some more. Make sure that it is the Lord who is telling you, individually to do this. Do not do it simply because I think it's time, do it because you have prayed about it and received the Lord's direction on it.

Do not expect to spend just a few weeks or months in these places of refuge. Expect to spend several years in them. What is coming upon this nation will not be over with quickly, it will be several years before the danger has passed. You must be strong, patient and have great endurance. Only prayer and fasting will give you the strength needed. Please understand this - we are not talking about a short time in these "arks", we are talking about several years. This is a strong warning not to take this lightly, but to prepare for a long seige. Life in this country will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.

There are others, like myself, whom the Lord has not had make any physical plans for the future. Our preparations have all been spiritual, knowing that we will have to trust Him to lead and guide us when the time comes. To each as the Lord leads him or her. What we ALL need to do now is to load ourselves up with PRAYER. That is the best preparation we can have.

When will you enter your arks? For many it will be when Mt. Rushmore collapses - this will be the sign of immediate judgment coming. I believe the solar storms will happen immediately after Mt. Rushmore falls. Life for many will become exceedingly difficult then. For many others the Lord will have wait until a later time to enter their arks. How will you know? By prayer, prayer, prayer and more prayer. You must begin to fill your arks with much prayer between now and then, so you will know when it is God's time for you personally to enter your ark. DO NOT LOOK TO MAN TO TELL YOU WHEN IT IS TIME.If you do, you will be badly misled. You must develop a very, very close and personal relationship with the Lord now so that you will be able to hear clearly from Him - you do this through prayer, fasting and reading the Bible.

What it is definitely NOT TIME TO DO is become fearful and frantic. That is not of the Lord, it is of the evil one. Many of you spend hours each day going from one Christian website to another, one religious forum to another, looking for man to tell you what to do, looking for something to be excited about. Many of you do the same thing looking to find something to panic about. What has happened is that you have been misled by supposed "prophets" who have caused you to be fearful every day. You listened to all the lies about the swine flu and how there would be computer chips in each flu shot which would allow the government to track and control you. Or the lies about the irremovable stainless steel bracelets you would be forced to wear once you got the flu shot, giving the government the ability to track you and control your mind. Or the lies about the FEMA camps that you would be sent to if you refused the shots. Or the lies about how when Obama declared a state of emergency regarding the flu shots (it was done to protect the clinics from medical malpractice lawsuits, so that they could quickly give the shots to anyone without needing to follow the normal governmental guidelines in this matter) that this was the beginning of you losing your freedom and the first step to Obama declaring martial law. Or the lies about how the borders would be closed and martial law being declared. You listened to the lies about how Washington, D.C. would be destroyed by a nuclear bomb on Nov. 10 (Vincent Xavier's first "prophecy" about this was that it would happen in October, but not be realized until November. That should have immediately shown you that he was a fraud because it made no sense whatsoever). Or the lies about Obama was going to be assassinated. Or the lies about the banking holiday that would happen this year, and how you wouldn't be able to get your money out of them. Or the many other lies out there on the internet.

Little children, it is time to quit spending all your time on the internet looking for things to get excited or fearful about, and spend that time in prayer so the Lord can tell you what is coming. You would rather spend your time on the internet listening to what man has to say, because that is more exciting than spending time with the Lord in prayer. If you want to know what is about to happen, then seek the Lord while He may be found. You need wisdom and discernment, because few of you have any. Wisdom and discernment are given by the Holy Spirit after many, many, many hours spent in prayer and reading the Bible. You pay a price for them. That price is giving up the desires of the flesh and seeking the things of the Spirit. Few of you are willing to pay that price.

God is giving us warnings of what is to come in the next few years, and He is giving us plenty of time to prepare for it. The first step in that preparation is much prayer. If you do not resolve to begin spending your time in prayer, you will be in great turmoil in the very near future.

Sports Stadium Destroyed?

2009-11-06T15:06:00.007-06:00

This is a post that I've wrestled with for awhile because I'm not sure that it is a prophetic word from the Lord regarding the destruction of a stadium full of people. Let me make that very clear - I am not sure that this is a prophetic word from the Lord regarding the destruction of a sports stadium full of people. Only time will tell whether it is or isn't. But the warnings and lessons in this post are definitely from the Lord.

Several weeks ago the thought came to me that a sports stadium full of people would be destroyed by a terrorist attack, with great loss of life. The thought has persisted for several weeks now. We all know how Americans LOVE their sports. Their idols are sports "heros" who perform their "miracles" in stadiums (football, baseball, soccer, basketball, etc). Much of the time when men get together they talk about sports and how their "heros" are doing. These "heros" have become their idols, even though so many of them are nothing but scumbags who have no morals, no character, no honor and no integrity. Too many people worship these overpaid spoiled brats and pay literally thousands of dollars each year to go and worship their idols. Every Sunday millions of Americans worship their idols in the stadiums, or on the idiot box. God has had enough of this false idol worship and is about to send a warning to the people of this nation. Most will not listen.

This thought of mine (it may be from the Lord, but for now I will say it is my thought) could well be the catastrophe that David Wilkerson prophesied several months ago that would shock the whole nation, including believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The loss of life would be huge. The fear that it would send across this nation would surpass that of 9/11/2001. The economic shock to this country would be great.

Let me be very clear about something. I am not condemning enjoying yourselves watching or participating in sports. I love flyfishing and am a rabid LSU Tiger fan and greatly enjoy watching my Tigers play whenever I can. I used to be a big Dallas Cowboys fan until God dealt with me about that in the 1980s, showing me how big an idol that professional sports had become in my life. Now I rarely watch any sports except for my Tigers. Sports had become an idol to me and God let me know that He was to be my only idol, I listened.

Sports have been raised up to the point of idol worship in the USA and God is going to send a very clear and strong warning shot regarding that. I urge you to pray about how important sports have become to you. Have your "heros" become your idols? Have they taken the place of God in your life? Would not your time be better spent in prayer, reading the Bible and spending quality time with your family? It is something you need to consider.

Solar Storms

2009-10-24T17:32:00.007-05:00

This is more information on the solar storms I spoke about in "The Destruction of the USA". These are predicted to happen sometime between 2011-2013. It is easy to see the catastrophes these storms will cause - I say "will" cause, not "could" cause, because they are certain to happen. They are part of God's judgment upon the USA.

"A new study from the National Academy of Sciences outlines grim possibilities on Earth for a worst-case scenario solar storm.
Damage to power grids and other communications systems could be catastrophic, the scientists conclude, with effects leading to a potential loss of governmental control of the situation.
The prediction is based in part on a major solar storm in 1859 that caused telegraph wires to short out in the United States and Europe, igniting widespread fires.
It was perhaps the worst in the past 200 years, according to the new study, and with the advent of modern power grids and satellites, much more is at risk.
"A contemporary repetition of the [1859] event would cause significantly more extensive (and possibly catastrophic) social and economic disruptions," the researchers conclude.

'Command and control might be lost'

When the sun is in the active phase of its 11-year cycle, it can unleash powerful magnetic storms that disable satellites, threaten astronaut safety, and even disrupt communication systems on Earth.
The worst storms can knock out power grids by inducing currents that melt transformers.
Modern power grids are so interconnected that a big space storm — the type expected to occur about once a century — could cause a cascade of failures that would sweep across the United States, cutting power to 130 million people or more in this country alone, the new report concludes.
Such widespread power outages, though expected to be a rare possibility, would affect other vital systems.

'Space Katrina'
"Impacts would be felt on interdependent infrastructures with, for example, potable water distribution affected within several hours; perishable foods and medications lost in 12-24 hours; immediate or eventual loss of heating/air conditioning, sewage disposal, phone service, transportation, fuel resupply and so on," the report states.
Outages could take months to fix, the researchers say. Banks might close, and trade with other countries might halt.
"Emergency services would be strained, and command and control might be lost," write the researchers, led by Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
"Whether it is terrestrial catastrophes or extreme space weather incidents, the results can be devastating to modern societies that depend in a myriad of ways on advanced technological systems," Baker said in a statement released with the report.
Stormy past
Solar storms have had significant effects in modern time:
— In 1989, the sun unleashed a tempest that knocked out power to all of Quebec, Canada.
— A remarkable 2003 rampage included 10 major solar flares over a two-week period, knocking out two Earth-orbiting satellites and crippling an instrument aboard a Mars orbiter.
"Obviously, the sun is Earth's life blood," said Richard Fisher, director of the Heliophysics division at NASA. "To mitigate possible public safety issues, it is vital that we better understand extreme space weather events caused by the sun's activity."
"Space weather can produce solar storm electromagnetic fields that induce extreme currents in wires, disrupting power lines, causing wide-spread blackouts and affecting communication cables that support the Internet," the report states. "Severe space weather also produces solar energetic particles and the dislocation of the Earth's radiation belts, which can damage satellites used for commercial communications, global positioning and weather forecasting."
Rush to prepare
The race is on for better forecasting abilities, as the next peak in solar activity is expected to come around 2012.
While the sun is in a lull now, activity can flare up at any moment, and severe space weather — how severe, nobody knows — will ramp up a year or two before the peak.
Some scientists expect the next peak to bring more severe events than other recent peaks.
"A catastrophic failure of commercial and government infrastructure in space and on the ground can be mitigated through raising public awareness, improving vulnerable infrastructure and developing advanced forecasting capabilities," the report states. "Without preventive actions or plans, the trend of increased dependency on modern space-weather sensitive assets could make society more vulnerable in the future."
The report was commissioned and funded by NASA. Experts from around the world in industry, government and academia participated. It was released this week."

Lamps and oil.

2009-10-19T13:04:00.003-05:00

The end times are upon us and we are in the last seconds of this age. Please, I beg of you, keep your oil in great supply (prayer, fasting for those who are able to do it, and reading the Bible), and keep your lamps lit at all times (let the love of the Lord always be shining in you). The Bridegroom is coming very, very, very soon and you must be ready.

The Future

To the Naysayers

2009-09-09T15:30:00.006-05:00

Several people have written that they don't agree with what I've prophesied and demanded that I back up my prophetic words biblically. I don't argue with people who disagree with the messages that the Lord has given me, anymore than Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekial, Elijah or any of the other prophets argued about their prophetic words. I won't try to "back them up scripturally" either because the prophets of old didn't try to "back up" their words scripturally. They are from the Lord and that is all I need to be concerned about. Whether people agree with them or not makes no difference - what I have prophesied will still come to pass.

I've posted these prophetic messages on several forums and I have been amazed at the arrogant and argumentative so-called "Christians" that attack me on these forums. I don't respond to them anymore than I respond to those who attack me or disagree with me on this blog. The messages I put on here are prophetic words from the Lord, if you don't like them then argue with Him about them because I won't respond to you or argue with you -He won't either.

Those who receive these prophetic words will be prepared when God's judgment is being poured out upon this country. Those who don't listen will be in great fear and turmoil, seeking a word from the Lord, but He will be silent because you refused to believe His prophets. The best advice I can give anyone is to turn off your idiot boxes, quit trying to do all the busy things you think you need to do to be important and begin reading your bibles, and fast and pray like you never have before. This is a time to get before the Lord every minute you can and ask Him what His plans for you, individually, are during the coming tribulation in the USA. Don't look to others for direction, look to the Lord. Turn off that trash on the religious television channels and seek the Lord while He may be found. The time is coming very, very, very soon when He won't be found for far too many who think they are "saved".

The Eye of the Storm

2009-08-14T11:41:00.007-05:00

August 14, 2009

Right now we are in the rather calm eye of the storm. But the worst damage comes after the eye passes and the winds come from the other direction. The first winds of this storm weakened the economic structure in this country, but they didn't destroy it. At this date, there is a relative calm in the economy of this country - it seems to have stabilized and the stock market has rallied. Our politicians and newspapers are declaring that the recession is over and there will be good times ahead. DON'T BELIEVE THEM!!!!

This is just the calm in the eye of the storm. The winds are about to hit us from another direction and they will completely destroy the economy of this country. It is coming very, very quickly. Be prepared to live on virtually nothing. Be prepared to live without many of the conveniences you have today. Be prepared for exorbitant price increases on everything from food, to electricity, to gasoline, to clothes, to just about anything you buy. Hyperinflation is coming very, very quickly.

You must learn to do with much less than you have today. Energy prices will skyrocket to unbelievable levels and many of you will not be able to afford to air-condition or heat your homes. Gasoline prices will be higher than anyone could ever have predicted, be prepared to drive only for essential errands. Food prices will skyrocket and you will be able to afford only the basic necessities. Salaries WILL NOT rise accordingly. Cut back on your expenses and save as much money as you can.

I can't tell you how dire this warning is! It is from the Lord. When I woke up this morning I had no idea that I would be writing this today. But I read something in this morning's Dallas Morning News Business section where the reporter asked the question "Are we in the eye of the storm?" Then the Lord put this message upon my heart.

What should you do? I don't give blanket advice except to tell you to spend more time in prayer and fasting, asking the Lord what He wants you specifically to do. His direction will be different for different people. I do believe that many families and friends will be living together to try to conserve money and resources. I do believe that it is time to begin planting your own vegetable gardens. I do believe that it is time you learned to ride bikes again. I KNOW that it is time to get your prayer life in order and make it the most important part of every day. Turn off that idiot box and pray and read the Bible. Seek the Lord while He may be found. The days of darkness are almost upon us.

Spiritual Babylon - Today's Church

2009-07-28T15:18:00.018-05:00

Revelation 18
After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven. He had great authority, and the earth was illuminated by his splendor. 2With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."
4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. 6Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 7Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.' 8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
9"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
11"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin! 20Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
21Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray. 24In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth."

The USA is physical Babylon, the church in the USA is spiritual Babylon and she is about to be dealt with accordingly.

"She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."

The churches have literally become a haunt for every type of evil spirit imaginable. A church I attended in Dallas for a year had a coven of witches and warlocks who were very, very close to the leadership and who, literally, controlled the spirit of the church. In most churches the people have brought in all types of evil spirits with them and the churches have become so spiritually polluted that it is difficult for most of the sheep to differentiate between holy spirits and evil spirits. There is no discernment in the Body of Christ and the shepherds are blind. Holiness is not preached nor even known about in today's churches.

The "unclean and destestable birds" are the false doctrines and abominable teachings that fill the churches today. The church is the Great Whore of Babylon who has spread her legs to every imaginable doctrine that comes along. She has slept with every wind and wave of doctrine that has arisen out of the depths of hell. She has become pregnant with all these abominations and God is about to destroy her. She has preached every false doctrine you can think of in order to get more members into the churches who will give more money, so that they can hire more staff, have more programs and build bigger churches - all to the glory of the pastors. Then they say "See what a great church we have!! See how great we are!! Come join us and give us your tithes so that we can become even greater!"

The nations have drunk her false doctrines, her wine that makes them feel good. The kings of the earth (the pastors) have committed adultery with her in teaching her lies in order to make the people feel important and powerful so that they will give even more money to the church. The merchants of the earth have become rich by all the books that the churches have bought from them and sell at the church, all the CDs, all the t-shirts, all the signs, all the bumper stickers. The merchants have become rich from everything that has been needed to build bigger churches and develop greater programs. The churches have become like the money changers in the temple.

4Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; 5for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes

God is calling His holy remnant, His bride, out of the churches today and cleaning them up from the filth that is in the churches. He is preparing His holy remnant for the hard times that are about to come upon the USA. He is giving them the faith necessary to make it through those times. He is purifying His bride and making her ready for Jesus' imminent return. He is pulling his holy remnant out of the whore so that they will not share in what God is about to do to the so-called Body of Christ.

Give back to her as she has given; pay her back double for what she has done. Mix her a double portion from her own cup. 7Give her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself. In her heart she boasts, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow, and I will never mourn.'

The churches are about to be judged very, very severely. They are about to be destroyed. The evil that God is about to unleash upon them will make even the holy remnant quake from afar with fear. Demons will be released in untold numbers in these churches. Church members will be absolutely terrified by what they see happening. Remember the "Exorcist"? What God is about to unleash upon the churches will make that movie look like child's play. It will be a time of incredible terror! They will learn that they are not queens who sit high in the heavens, and they will mourn night and day. There will much weeping and gnashing of teeth and fear like man has never known.

8Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
9"When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her. 10Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come!'
11"The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes any more— 12cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; 13cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.
14"They will say, 'The fruit you longed for is gone from you. All your riches and splendor have vanished, never to be recovered.' 15The merchants who sold these things and gained their wealth from her will stand far off, terrified at her torment. They will weep and mourn 16and cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! 17In one hour such great wealth has been brought to ruin!'
"Every sea captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living from the sea, will stand far off. 18When they see the smoke of her burning, they will exclaim, 'Was there ever a city like this great city?' 19They will throw dust on their heads, and with weeping and mourning cry out: " 'Woe! Woe, O great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin."

This is self-explanatory and needs no further words regarding it.

20Rejoice over her, O heaven! Rejoice, saints and apostles and prophets! God has judged her for the way she treated you.' "
21Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large millstone and threw it into the sea, and said: "With such violence the great city of Babylon will be thrown down, never to be found again. 22The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. 23The light of a lamp will never shine in you again. The voice of bridegroom and bride will never be heard in you again. Your merchants were the world's great men. By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.

Yes, we will rejoice over her destruction because we know the lies she has told, the people she has led astray and the abominations she has committed. There will be great joy in Heaven and among the saints here on earth when the whore is thrown down and burned up. No music will ever be heard in her walls again. Never again will workman build these "great monuments to God". Never again will light ever shine in her again. Never again will God inhabit her buildings. In fact, He has already left most of them. They are like empty tombs.

"In her was found the blood of prophets and of the saints, and of all who have been killed on the earth"

God has sent prophets to her for years, but she has persecuted them, kicked them out and tried to destroy them. I speak from many years of personal, first-hand experiences when I say that. The wounds that the churches have inflicted upon me and other prophets like me have been grevious. God is about to vindicate His prophets. The great whore is about to be destroyed!

Revelation 3:14-18
14"To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked

Substitute "the church in the USA" for "the church in Laodecia.

A Voice Crying Out In The Wilderness

2009-06-17T15:50:00.004-05:00

June 17, 2009

I feel like a voice crying out in the wilderness, because that is where the Lord has had me for 26 years. Yes, I am crying out that there is great destruction coming upon this country, warning people what the Lord is about to do to the USA because of its wickedness. But it is also a call to "Prepare ye the way of the Lord"! Prepare yourselves for the coming of the Lord! Prepare yourselves by repentance, forgiveness, prayer and fasting. Prepare yourselves by not rejecting how God has been training you for the times ahead. Realize that it is He who has been testing and trying you in the fires of affliction in order to make you pure and holy for when the Bridegroom comes for His bride. To make gold pure, you put in in the furnace under extreme temperatures - that is what He has been doing to many of you. To make a diamond, you get a lump of coal and put it under immense pressure for many years - He has been doing that to many of you.

He has pulled many of you out of the godless and unholy churches and put you in the wilderness for many purposes. One is so that you can see what actually goes on in the churches by looking at them from the outside. He has pulled you away from them so that you won't be pulled into their false doctrines and theologies. He is teaching you by His Spirit. He is preparing you to minister to those who will have lost faith in their churches, pastors and their own personal faith during the time of judgment which is about to befall our country. He is preparing you to teach them what the truth actually is, not what the foolish "great teachers and prophets" of today have been telling them. He is preparing you to comfort, encourage and build them up, because they will be in great turmoil, in great distress and great doubt when God's judgment is poured out upon this country in the next few years. He has been preparing you to bring in the harvest during that time.

You are His holy remnant. Some of you will be protected and provided for during the coming years. Others of you will be called upon to suffer great persecution, even to death, for your faith. "He that endures to the end will be saved." Many of you already know what great persecution is, I certainly do. Before it is all over we will know even greater persecution than we do now. That is something that God has promised us - persecution and suffering. We are told to "Share in the fellowship of His sufferings" - many of us very intimately know what that is all about.

I call upon you to turn off your televisions and turn on your prayer life and Bible-reading time. Husbands, read the Bible to your wives and children every day without fail. Wash them with the Word. The time for cleansing is at hand. Prepare yourselves and your families for the coming of the Lord, for He is coming back very, very soon! But He will come like a thief in the night, and you must be ready!

The Last Days, the New Millennium and the sons of God
By Clifford T. Hilbert
April 9, 2009

Are these the last days? Well, yes and no. These are the last days of this age, whatever God means by “this age”. Man has his ideas of what that means, but mans’ ideas are not God’s idea. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways.” What I do know is that we are in the last few years before Jesus comes back to establish His kingdom here on earth for 1000 years. I know that God’s judgment is about to be poured out upon our nation and that the USA will no longer be a factor in this world.

What will happen to Israel when we are no longer there to support and defend it? All we need to do is look in Revelation and see what the rest of the nations will do to Israel then – they will overrun her. Shortly thereafter the end comes. The bible says that the world will be on the verge of destroying itself when Jesus returns. That event is coming in my lifetime - I am now 63 years old and I expect to be here when Jesus returns.

I expect to be here during the Tribulation period. There will be no rapture as the churches have been teaching for years. The sheep have been lied to and misled. When the sheep find out that they have been deceived and that they are suddenly going through the Great Tribulation, the faith of many will be cast aside – part of the great Apostasy of the Faith. Only he that endures to the end will be saved.

What will it be like when Jesus appears in the clouds? It will be instantly evident to all what their sins have been. Those who have had abortions will realize that they have murdered their own children. Homosexuals and lesbians will instantly see their sins as the abominations they are. They will see how filthy they are. The proud and arrogant will immediately he humbled. The thieves will be ashamed. The rapists will hate themselves. The child molesters will want to die. Politicians will be humiliated. Televangelists will try to hide from God. Most pastors will see themselves as the frauds they are. Women will be ashamed of exposing so much of their flesh in public. Those who “confessed Jesus as their Savior” when they were ten years old but whose hearts are still lukewarm or cold, who are self-centered, proud and arrogant, will find out that they are not “saved” as they thought they were. Sin will be exposed for what it is. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus will then rule with a “rod of iron” – the severest, most rigorous rule. Slavery will be considered bliss compared to what the rebellious, disobedient, proud and arrogant will have to go through.

How will Jesus establish His kingdom here on earth?

The answer is in Matt 12:29 – “Or how can one enter into the house of the strong man, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house.”

The Earth is Satan’s house, he is the prince of this world. When Jesus returns, Satan will be bound for 1000 years. Once the strong man is bound, then his house will be plundered. Once the evil one is tied up and cast into the pit, then, little by little, all his strongholds will be plundered – all sickness, all disease, all pollution, all depravity, all decadence, all perversion, all pride, all abortions, all welfare, all “entitlements” etc. He that does not work will not eat. Obesity will not be allowed in the next age. There will be no women with 15 illegitimate children on government welfare. “He that dies before the age of 100 will be considered accursed.” Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis will be done away with. No longer will the airwaves be filled with the kind of filth that is now on TV. No longer will movie houses be filled with the vulgar trash that now passes for entertainment. If there are movies allowed in those days, they will be clean, wholesome, free of vulgarity, sex, violence and perversion. If television is allowed it will return to the clean goodness of the old Walt Disney-style programs, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, etc. No longer will people worship their multi-million dollar sports idols on Sunday, or on any other day, for that matter, because there will be no more sports idols. No longer will Satan’s servants like Oprah Winfrey Jerry Springer, Rosie O’Donnell, Whoopie Goldberg, etc be allowed to air their wicked and perverted filth. There will never again be televangelists as there are today – fleecing the flock, performing “miracles” to glorify themselves, lying to, and deceiving the sheep, teaching the doctrine of man. There will be no more Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. There will definitely never again be a Halloween. Christmas will be 100% different than it is today. There will be no worshipping “Baby Jesus”, because Jesus is not a baby, but a grown man, an adult.

Through whom will Jesus accomplish all this? Romans 8:19 – “The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.” For years God has been preparing some for the responsibilities of plundering the evil one’s house and restoring and rehabilitating the hearts of man and this earth. He has chosen them and prepared them to rule and reign with Christ Jesus during the 1000 period.

Heb 12:6 – For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son He receives”. The sons of god have not just been disciplined like the children of God, they have been scourged. They have lash marks all over their bodies, even though they have done nothing to cause these beatings. God has wounded them in the most terrible ways – Job 5:18 - For it is God who wounds and God who heals. They have learned obedience by that which they have suffered, just like Jesus. They have been beaten every day by their God for years and years. They know suffering like none others do. They know bitter disappointment day after day after day. They know what rejection is like as a way of life. They have been hated, rejected, mistreated, abused, criticized, scorned, ridiculed and treated with contempt by the world and the so-called “Body of Christ”. They know what failure is - no matter how hard they worked to accomplish something, they saw God tear it all down before their very eyes. They know what it’s like to get knocked down and get up, only to get knocked down again, then get up, then knocked down again, then get up, endlessly. They know the hard side of God. They know how the prophets of old felt.
They understand what Jeremiah felt like in Lamentations 3 - “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2 He has driven me away and made me walk in darkness rather than light; 3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me again and again, all day long. 4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old and has broken my bones. 5 He has besieged me and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. 6 He has made me dwell in darkness like those long dead. 7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape; he has weighed me down with chains. 8 Even when I call out or cry for help, he shuts out my prayer. 9 He has barred my way with blocks of stone; he has made my paths crooked. 10 Like a bear lying in wait, like a lion in hiding, 11 he dragged me from the path and mangled me and left me without help. 12 He drew his bow and made me the target for his arrows. 13 He pierced my heart with arrows from his quiver. 14 I became the laughingstock of all my people; they mock me in song all day long. 15 He has filled me with bitter herbs and sated me with gall. 16 He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust. 17 I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is. 18 So I say, "My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD." 19 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20 I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.” – Jeremiah was referring to what his Father God had done to him, and Jeremiah was speaking the truth. It is almost impossible for spiritual children to comprehend this.

The ones called to be “the sons of God” understand a part of God that spiritual children will never be able to comprehend. They know that the saying “God is a good God, He doesn’t want you to suffer”, is a fairytale made up by and for children. Remember what God’s first words about Paul were? – “I will show him how much he must suffer for the kingdom of heaven.” They very intimately know Paul’s testimony that he was hungry and thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, beaten and in chains. Spiritual children cannot understand these things. They followed 2 Tim 2:3-4 – “3Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier” - even though they themselves didn’t fully understand it and the “Christians” scorned them because of it. No one understands nor judges these men – “A spiritual man understands (judges) all things, but is understood (judged) by no one.”

These men, however, are not spiritual giants. They are not great men of God, as the world thinks of great men. They are human beings with all the feelings, frailties, fears and failures of humans. Many of them see God like a football coach who pushes and pushes and pushes his players well beyond what they think are their limits, then he pushes them some more. When they think they are ready to die, he pushes them some more. He never lets up, there is no respite. He never gives them a “well done”. He is never satisfied. He stretches them until they are ready to break, then he lets them sit there for a while, never easing the tension. Then he stretches them again until they are ready to break, then he lets them sit awhile, still never easing the tension. He does this endlessly. The players curse their coach, they hate him, they despise him and wish he were dead. They see nothing but pain, pain and more pain in their futures. No matter how good they get, it is never enough to please the coach. Every hope is met with bitter, bitter disappointment. Every relationship causes nothing but pain and disappointment.

The apostle Paul understood this as well because the burdens became so great he despaired of life, he wanted to die, he wanted to kill himself. 2 Cor 1:8 - 8We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life”. But they do have hope that there is a purpose in all of this, that they will one day be blessed with peace and love. They hope that God will not be so cruel forever. They hope that one day he will stabilize their lives, vindicate and restore them.

These are the ones to be called ”the sons of God. ”They are not looking for disciples, they are not looking for glory, they are not looking for honor, they are not looking to accomplish great things for God, they are not looking for man’s approval. They are doing the only thing that God allows them to do – obey Him. They know what Paul meant when he stated that he was a bondslave of Christ Jesus. They understand that they have no free will of their own anymore, that they are truly slaves. God took their free will from them many years ago. They understand that there is only one choice, to obey God regardless of the costs. Children don’t know nor understand these things, only the ones God has raised into sonship. He does not give the riches and inheritance of His kingdom to children, but only to those whom He has raised into sonship - those whom He has matured through great and horrible suffering. Those are the ones who will be appointed to handle the great responsibilities He has for them in the future.

They are the ones who will rule and reign with Christ during His 1000 year reign on earth. They are the ones He will anoint with power like the first century church saw – the type of power that we have yearned to see for 2000 years, but have only seen small glimpses of it. They are the ones who will do even greater things than Jesus did. I don’t know how we could do anything greater than casting out demons, healing the sick and raising the dead, but we will.

They have seen the charlatans in the “Body of Christ”. . They have heard all the “faith” foolishness for years, They have tried all the “If you’ll just ________ (fill in the blanks) then God will bless you” doctrines that have been spewed about for years, and found out that they are man’s doctrines, not God’s. They have heard all the “If you just have enough faith, then God will______” nonsense that has been preached for years, and know what a bunch of foolishness that it truly is. They understand that we don’t have any understanding of what faith really is, yet. But during the 1000 year reign, we will know what God means by the term “faith”, and it will be nothing like what’s is being taught today. They know that what is thought of as “faith” today is nothing but the foolishness of man.

During the Millennium they will exercise true faith and see what the power of the Lord actually is. They will cast out demons, sickness and disease, heal the sick, raise the dead, say to mountains “be moved”, and they will move. They will have insight into peoples’ hearts like we would never have believed possible. Some of them will have the authority, as Jeremiah did, to be “over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to tear down, to overthrow and destroy, to build and to plant”. They will have spiritual insight, authority and knowledge like we can’t even begin to fathom. They will have dominion over all natural and spiritual forces.

They will set up the churches in God’s order, not mans’. “I have set them first as apostles, second prophets, then teachers, pastors and evangelists.” The churches will be built “upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets” – they will not be built upon pastors as they are today. Pastors will not be the figureheads, kings and little gods that many think they are today. The churches will be set up as God intended them to be set up, and will operate the way He wants them to operate. Today they are run like man thinks they should be run. During the coming times they function according to God’s plan. There will be no denominational divisions any longer. There will no longer be a Catholic Church, a Baptist church, a Methodist Church, an Assembly of God Church, a Pentecostal Church, an Episcopalian Church, a Presbyterian Church or any other denomination. There will only be one church – God’s, man’s ideas of what churches should be like will be done away with. His church shall be called “A House of Prayer”.

The Millennial period will be a time when God gives men the knowledge of how to use the forces that He has created so that we will be able to manufacture without pollution, create automobiles that use the inexhaustible electromagnetic forces and solar power that surround us, instead of gas and oil. We will learn how to harness these magnetic forces and solar power to run our homes and offices, our manufacturing plants, our food processing operations. We will learn how to clean up the pollution in our environment and keep our planet and atmosphere clean. We will learn how to recycle everything so that nothing goes to waste. Researchers will find drugs that will cure all diseases. They will find cures for most of our physical ailments. Airplanes will no longer exist in the form they do today, our transportation will be radically different. God will show us how to raise food without all the chemicals and pesticides we use today. Rain will come in its season. The world will be the same, yet very, very different.

Those whose hearts were pierced by Christ’s coming will be forced into slave labor and tasked with things such as cleaning up the mess that the wars had left – the bodies, the destroyed buildings and homes, the environment, etc. They will physically clean up the mess they made of this world. They will be dealt with harshly and severely. There will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth. The nations will learn that they must obey God in order to get His blessings. Disobedience will quickly result in failed crops, hunger, turmoil, violence and total lack of peace. They will learn obedience the hard way – by a rod of iron, but they will learn. The leaders of those nations who don’t obey will be “plucked up and torn down, overthrown and destroyed, as will the nations which rebel against the Lord.

But we will know that after 1000 years Satan will be set free for a time and will deceive the nations once more and will destroy much of what has been perfected during the time he was bound. Many of the people will once again be deceived and turn against God. Then the end will come.

The Destruction of the USA

2009-03-16T12:28:00.008-05:00

My name is Clifford Hilbert and God appointed me a watchman. He even chose my name for me before I was born. I am a watchman who stands on the edge of the cliff watching the fording place in the river, so that when I see the enemy coming I can warn the people. Standing there watching requires long periods of forced isolation, idleness, unbelievable boredom and great patience - the exact opposite of who and what I am. But that is what God chose for me and all I can do is obey. I have been watching for many years and now see the enemy coming. It is time to blow the trumpet in Zion and sound the alarm.

For years biblical scholars have been trying to figure out where the USA, the most powerful nation that has ever existed, fits into the endtime scenarios. No one has yet come up with the correct answer. Why? Because the USA will not be a factor in the last days. It will not exist in the form it does today. God is on the verge of destroying this nation.

Why? Because we have been filled with pride thinking that we created this great nation and that we are the ones responsible for the great abundance we have here. We, as a nation, have failed to realize that it is God who created this nation and God who has blessed us with such abundance, that it is He who has prospered us.

We, as a nation, have turned completely away from the Lord and gone our own prideful, arrogant, sinful and decadent ways. Materialism has become our god. Money has become our god. Our own fleshly desires have become our god. Our powerful weapons have become our source of faith, instead of God. “In God we trust”, the symbol which is on own currency, is a lie.

For Christians, their big new church buildings have become their gods. Their “rights in Jesus” have become their gods. Their “faith” has become their god. The Pentecostals and charasmatics are proud of what they think are their spiritual gifts, and they use these gifts with pride and arrogance against their other brothers and sisters in Christ. They fall for every wind and wave of doctrine that comes along, and have no firm foundation to stand on. They believe that they are the ones who cause prosperity and health by their words. They have taken God out of the equation and consider themselves as gods who make everything happen by themselves. They have forgotten that the greatest gift of all is love, something they have very, very little of.

The Baptists are proud that they are “once saved, always saved” — even though Paul “worked out his salvation with fear and trembling”, and the Lord told the church at Laodecia (a church, people who thought that they were all saved) “I wish that you were hot or cold. But because you are neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!”

The Bible churches are proud that they alone know the real truth. Their pastors are all cemetery-trained and they know the Bible inside and out. They have dissected all the words and passages and can tell you the Greek and Hebrew meanings of everything in the Bible. They have discussed ten million times whether Jesus was fully human and/or fully divine. They know all the stories in the Bible, but they know nothing of the Living Word of God. There is no anointing in their sermons and the Word they teach is not “active and alive, and sharper than any two-edged sword” - it is dead , as are their hearts.

The Catholics are proud that their religion is the “only true religion”. They worship more false gods than the Greeks did — Mary and all the other dead people, the “saints”. They have made Mary part of the Godhead believing they need her to intercede for us with Jesus. The Trinity is now Father, Son and Blessed Mother. They believe that Mary has appeared all over the world and they worship the spots where there has been an apparition, even images on pieces of toast. I believe that there have been appearances at those spots - but no one has ever explained to them that Satan comes as an angel of light (a beautiful woman masquerading as the “Mother of God”) who performs great and mighty miracles that would deceive even the very elect, if that were possible. Satan has gotten what he wanted, the Catholics worship him instead of Jesus. His servants also come as angels of light, and masquerade as servants of righteousness. The priests are blind and consider themselves as little gods – unfortunately, too many of these “little gods” are child molesters. The Catholic Church conveniently shoves aside the Biblical requirement that priests must be from the tribe of Levi.

Methodists and Episcopalians are ordaining homosexual and lesbian ministers and priests. They are teaching that these abominable lifestyles are acceptable.

The churches worship their pastors as if they were gods and kings, and the pastors are filled with arrogance and pride. They want to build bigger churches so that they can have larger congregations that will inflate their egos even more. The shepherds have no idea what the word “shepherd” really means. They lift themselves up as great authorities, yet they have never learned that they are servants of the people. I have not yet met a pastor of any denomination who went out and sought a sheep that left his flock.

The pastors teach their flocks that “God is a good God, He doesn’t want you to suffer”, in direct contradiction to what the Bible says. The New Testament talks about suffering a lot more than it mentions blessings and prosperity. But that’s not “positive confession”, so they throw that aside. They teach them that “God’s promises are all for you. He wants to give you the desires of your heart. He wants you to prosper and be in good health. If you just have enough faith, you can claim your rights in Jesus and have everything you have ever desired.” No one teaches that Paul’s testimony was that he was hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, beaten and in chains. No one teaches what Jesus instructed them to do “Sell what you have, give to the poor and come, follow Me.” “He that does not give up everything he has, cannot be my disciple.” “Share in the fellowship of His sufferings” Claim those as your “rights in Jesus”!!!

No one teaches about the Beatitudes that Jesus spoke of in the sermon on the mount — “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

No one teaches the whole truth, just the parts of it that “tickle men’s ears”, just the “feel good” gospel of the carnal.

The religious TV networks (I refuse to call them “Christian”) are filled with thieves, liars, charlatans and false prophets who are out to build great masses of worshippers for themselves. They steal from the widows, the poor, the hurting, the wounded, the hopeless and the desperate. They are nothing but a bunch of antichrists. And people look to them as gods who can do no wrong. There is no discernment in the Body of Christ today! The so-called “Body of Christ” in this country is corrupt beyond measure.

These are only a few of the many reasons that God is coming to destroy this nation and severely test the faith of most. Most “Christians” will fail the test and their names will not be written in the Book of Life. A great apostasy of the faith is about to happen in this country. Many will be imprisoned, tortured, sawn in two and put to death because of their faith — only he that endures to the end will be saved. Most who read this will not be saved.

The USA itself is worse than Sodom and Gomorrah, in every way. Not only do we kill millions of innocent, unborn children in this country every year, but now that Obama is President, we will be paying for the murders of millions of unborn babies in other countries. Obama wants to pass legislation that will force all hospitals, including Catholic hospitals, to perform abortions on demand, regardless of the term of pregnancy or the age of the female. Homosexual marriage is something that the Obama administration wants legalized. The abortionists and the homosexuals “parade their sins in the streets”, and people are there to cheer them on, the nations leaders being among them.

Greed is rampant in all parts of society and in every organization in this nation, especially the churches. Our nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C. is the most corrupt city in America, and our politicians are wicked beyond measure. Arrogance, pride, contempt, crime and greed are hallmarks of our nation’s capitol. We are proud of all the great buildings that form our cities, all the money that is made in them, and all the materialism that exists in them. Drugs have invaded every part of our society. Morals no longer exist in the USA. Good is now called evil, and evil is now called good.

When this country elected Barak Hussein Obama as President, God said “ENOUGH!!”

“You wanted leaders after your own hearts, so I’ve given them to you. I’ve given you the most corrupt, arrogant and deceitful President and administration in the history of your country. They will lead your country into the worst decadence and depravity it has ever known.

“My people have been waiting for signs and wonders for years and years, waiting for me to do great and mighty things. I already have, but no one was paying any attention. My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts. As far as the sun is from the moon are My thoughts higher than your thoughts and My ways higher than your ways. I sent the Great Depression to warn you that you were becoming too focused on wealth and greed. Few listened. I sent the planes into the World Trade Center on 9/11/2001 to warn you that your pride, arrogance and lust for power and money had gone too far. Few listened. I sent Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to warn you about your sexual and spiritual decadence and depravity that has become an abomination reaching to the heavens. Few listened.

So now I will destroy your proud, arrogant, greedy, depraved and decadent nation and churches. You would not humble yourselves before me and turn from your wicked and evil ways. So now, I the Lord your God will force you to your knees, literally. My judgment upon you is coming much quicker than any ever expected. It will be total and complete. Never again will you stand proud and tall as a nation. Never again will you exalt yourselves above Me”.

First will come the economic collapse of this nation, because money has become what you worship, not the Lord. Another watchman, John Johnston (http://www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/) saw that when Fidel Castro dies, then will come the complete and total collapse of our economy. Why God set it up that way, I have no idea. I just know that He did and that John is correct. You are seeing just the beginning of that in the last few months of 2008 and the first few months of 2009. That is just the very beginning. It will get much, much worse — the complete and total economic collapse of this nation. The worst is yet to come.

Back in 1986 I was driving through the Dakotas and pulled up to see Mt. Rushmore. As I pulled the car into the parking lot I suddenly saw Mt. Rushmore come tumbling down. Until March 3, 2009, I didn’t know what this meant. Now I do. Spiritually, this means that God will not let those men who built this country upon Godly morals and principles see His destruction of the nation they so dearly loved. Physically, it is His warning to flee the cities and not look back. Pray that you are not with child then, because the worst is still to come.

Immediately following the fall of Mt. Rushmore there will be major solar storms (expected by astronomers in 2011-2012) that will cause catastrophic electrical, electronic and communication failures in many areas of the USA and the world. This happened in Quebec some years ago and all power was lost for days, even weeks. All power will be lost in many major cities, including New York City. Complete power grids will shut down, affecting large areas of the country. When this happens gangs will run rampant all over the cities that are affected. They will loot, rape, rob, steal and kill like never before. There will be fires all over which will not be possible to put out because there will be no power to run the water pumping stations, and the looters will shoot the fireman who try to put the fires out. The crime wave in New Orleans after Katrina was nothing compared to what is about to happen. It will be complete civil chaos that the police and National Guard will not be able to stop. People will be leaving these cities by the hundreds of thousands to escape the violence. The USA will be paralyzed. The worst is still to come.

On that same trip in 1986 I was driving through Granite Falls, MN and stopped to eat dinner and spend the night at the home of some friends’ parents. After dinner I was talking a walk in the neighborhood (which was out in the country) and glanced upon some huge grain silos. All of a sudden I saw these silos explode! I knew that the Lord was telling me that our vast supply of food in this country would suddenly disappear. Since then I have learned that the temperatures in these silos are closely monitored to prevent static electrical buildup, among other things. With no electricity, these silos will explode. With no electricity, our refrigerated foods will go bad. With no electricity, our food processing plants will not function. Will no electricity, our processed seafood and meats will quickly spoil. With no electricity, our water purification plants will not be able to operate. Without electricity, most people will not be able to cook. The solar storms will cause the electricity in many areas of our country to be off for weeks and even months. Our food supply will suddenly be gone. There will be great famine all over the country.

Back in 1984 I was listening to a Christian radio station when a guy began to prophecy. I remember him saying “.. and though the President seems to be a good man, he will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians”.

While the country is in complete and utter chaos like we’ve never known before, the Russians will then unleash a nuclear attack upon us from submarines off our coasts. Impact will come only seven minutes from launch. This will destroy a number of major cities. See John Johnston’s: “www.unitedstatesprophecy.com/russia_invades_america.html” for more specifics. God will judge us for the pride we take in these great monuments (i.e. skyscrapers) that our hands have built, and the materialism we worship. President Obama will not retaliate, but will bow his knees in surrender to the Russians. They will come and enslave our people and rape the resources and the women of this country. This is how quickly this will be upon us. The worst is yet to come.

Back in 1983 there was a prophet in Dallas who had a vision of all three seaboards of this country being hit by tidal waves of 200-300'. In 1984 I was visiting a friend who lived on a small river near Baton Rouge, La. We were outside sitting on chairs on the lawn when suddenly I saw this huge 30-60' wall of dirty water come rushing over the property. This was over 100 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico!

John Johnston has also seen a huge tidal wave hitting the East Coast and knocking down the tall buildings like dominos. “I went into a deep sleep and had a dream I was on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach. It was night time and I think it was about 2:00 am. I put my foot up on the railing and was looking out over the ocean. There was what looked like a full moon on the horizon. I noticed just underneath the moon was a giant black wall on the horizon. The moon was reflecting white caps off the wall. As I stood there looking out into the Atlantic Ocean I realized that the white caps are from a massive tidal wave heading to shore. It was about 300 feet high. I felt the realization that it was too late to warn the people and the dream ended.

“In the fall of the following year, 2006 I had the same dream again.

“In January 2008, I had the same dream except this time I started running to people’s houses to wake them up and warn them, but it was too late.”

Revelation 18: 21 “Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.” On March 2, 2009 an asteroid passed within 40,000 miles of Earth. That may seem like a lot, but it is within the moon’s orbit of earth and just twice the distance from Earth as some of our communications satellites. What will happen when an asteroid hits our planet? Remember the Star called Wormwood which the angel threw into the sea? That could cause tidal waves like the ones which will hit our coastlines. It would also be hot enough to make the seas turn red like blood.

The destruction from these tidal waves will be beyond human description. The death toll will be in the tens of millions. Why? To destroy the vile, abominable and detestable sexual and spiritual practices which flood this country. Several months after Katrina there was a Decadence Day parade held in New Orleans, an annual event. Mardi Gras, which is approved of by the Catholic Church, is nothing but a huge pagan festival. All the different parades are named after different Greek gods and goddesses — Bacchus, Endymion, Venus, Proteus, etc. The floats move down the streets and the people are all raising their hands, waving them, shouting “Throw me something mister!”, to the maskers on the floats. Spiritually they are worshipping the gods of the floats. The next day they go to mass and get the ashes on their heads to start the beginning of Lent. They party like the heathens they are, then go for “absolution and forgiveness” the next day. I am a former Catholic, originally from New Orleans, so I speak from personal, first-hand experience.

God has had enough!!

In 1985 while on my way to Phoenix, I spent the night with an older couple in Benson, AZ. I remember Enoch telling me that the Lord had told his church in Benson that there were members of that church then, in 1985, who would be martyred in front of the church for their faith. The Sunday after 9/11/2001 I went to a little church in Lindale, TX for the first time. Before the service, I remember seeing some little children playing in the aisles, just running around having a good time. The Lord told me that these very children would be running for their lives because of their faith, in this country. John Johnston (www.unitedstatesprophecy.com) has seen visions of foreign soldiers destroying churches in this country and executing the congregations in front of those churches.

That is when many will fall away from the Lord, part of the great apostasy of the faith. Many who have been deceived and brainwashed into believing the “faith” foolishness that is being taught by people like Kenneth Copeland, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, Rod Parsley, Mike Murdock, John Hagee, Joyce Meyer, Marilyn Hickey, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, James Robinson, Jimmy Swaggart and the like, will be “confessing the Word”, “claiming their rights in Jesus”, demanding that God honor His Word, but will find out that it doesn’t work like they’ve been taught it should. They will not have wealth, they will not have jobs, they will not have homes, they will not have their health and they will not have much to eat. They will be hungry, thirsty, homeless, in rags, poorly treated, in chains and they will fall away from the faith because they will say “God doesn’t honor His word, therefore He is a liar and I want nothing to with Him”. These sheep have believed the lies that their shepherds taught them. Their blood will be upon the hands of their shepherds. They listened to teachers who “tickled their ears”, because that is what they wanted to hear and believe.

The Bible is God’s word which He uses to accomplish that which He pleases and purposes — not what we please and purpose.

During the coming disasters that God will send upon this country, He will also give some of us hope and peace. He has been setting up places of refuge across this country where Christians will find safe harbor from the catastrophes unleashed upon America. In 1986 I lived in Phoenix for several months and traveled around Arizona some. I was visiting someone in Oracle, AZ and the Lord impressed upon me that this would be a city of refuge in the future. He also showed me that the mountains of Prescott, AZ would be another place of refuge - there are several large Christian camps up there. Lindale, TX (just north of Tyler) will be another city of refuge. I’m certain that there will be other cities of refuge that the Lord has set up.

In these places Christians will live together and provide for one another. We will grow our own food, raise our own livestock. We will not be dependent upon the government for anything, because the government will be trying to find us and kill us, just as John Johnston saw in his vision:

“During the same time as the vision about the state of Florida in July of 1995, God gave me a vision of a massive army coming down on America. He said, “John, I am going to allow the enemies of the United States to judge America. When America’s enemies come they will have no mercy on the men, women and children. I saw troop movement and they appeared to be Communist Chinese and Russian troops coming into the United States. As they came in, America was no match. I saw churches and synagogues were being leveled by heavy artillery. As the churches were being blown up I saw Jews and Christians being herded up and shot like cattle in front of their churches and homes. I saw the troops killing children and infants with their bayonets. I saw the American people tormented beyond imagination. The troops were void of emotions. Their objective is to take the nation and take it hands down. All able bodied working people will be forced into slave labor. Some will be taken to other countries and some left here. The soldier’s main objective was to kill all Jews and Christians. As I am seeing all this horror I asked, “Lord, what is happening?” He said, “Because of the wickedness of the United States of America I am allowing her enemies to invade her lands.” God ended the vision.

"The enemies of America are supernaturally being drawn together. When they come, they are going to catch the nation completely by surprise. Great is going to be her destruction and torment. This judgment is coming soon! The American people, Christians and non-Christians do not believe that God has fiery indignation that will be poured out. The great day of darkness is quickly coming upon the whole world, the day of God’s wrath and judgment.”

These places of refuge will not be fancy, they will not be very comfortable for many. They will not have all the luxuries and conveniences that we are used to. We will not have as much to eat as we are used to. Some places might not have running water and electricity. We will have to learn to do with much less than we are used to. They will not have much in the way of medical facilities. But God will provide the basic necessities of life for us.

Years ago there was a TV miniseries entitled “Amerika”, about a Russian takeover of this country. In there was a scene I remember very, very distinctly. A man was helping another man escape the Russians, and they were going through an underground passageway, when suddenly they came upon this large underground room. In the room were a number of Christians singing and praising the Lord. The escapee asked his friend “How can they be happy when there is so much trouble?” His friend replied “Because we know the Lord is doing this and why, and He is in control.” That peace and joy is what will sustain us during those times which are almost upon us.

A couple of miscellaneous things. The “great mountain thrown into the sea” mentioned in Revelation is Mount Fuji in Japan. It will erupt with such force that much of it will be
thrown into the sea. Can you imagine the destruction this will cause? Could the star
called Wormwood hit the seas with such an impact that it would cause Mt. Fuji to erupt?
I don’t know, but it is something to think about.

How should you prepare for the coming catastrophes which are almost upon us? Pray, pray and pray. Ask the Lord to show you how each one of you individually should begin to prepare. Don’t listen to the fools on the religious channels, because they will have no idea what to do, even though they will claim to. The best thing you can do, next to praying, is to turn off your televisions, turn off all the CDs and tapes you have that were written about the Bible, quit going to all those conferences about the Bible, quit reading all those books about the Bible, take your Bible and begin at Genesis and start reading. Read it during every spare minute you have — if you’ll turn off your televisions you’ll be surprised at all the extra time you have to read the Bible. Read the Bible from beginning to end, over and over and over. Don’t go looking for things in it to confirm what you think you know, just read it. Yes, it will be hard and it will be very boring. But that is the only way to learn what God wants you, specifically, to learn. Turn off the radios in your vehicles and put on CDs of someone reading the Bible. That’s all, just reading it — quit listening to someone teaching you what man wants you to learn, but just listen to the reading of the Word itself and let the Spirit teach you. “For you no longer have need of a teacher, for the Holy Spirit is your teacher.” Quit trying to find someone to feed you the Word, feed yourselves. Babies need to be fed, adults feed themselves. It’s time for you to grow up.

One final warning — all the prayers in the world will not cause God to turn aside from, or delay, what is coming upon this country. Don’t waste your time praying for that. Pray for God to show you what He wants you to do in the next few years in order to last through the trying times ahead. Pray for strength. You will be “tested and tried in the fires of affliction.” Many of you will be martyred during the coming years. Most of you will turn away from the faith and your names will not be found in the Book of Life. “The way to destruction is broad and most enter through it. The gate to eternal life is narrow and few enter it.”

One last thought. What will happen to Israel when it does not have the USA to defend it anymore? We are truly that close to the last days.

Most who read this will reject it and laugh at it. Most will reject me, scorn me, ridicule me and persecute me. I expect that. But the Lord told me many years ago that 95% of what I teach is for 5% of the people. If 5% listen to this message, then I will have done what the Lord sent me to do. My e-mail and post office box addresses are below. If you want to contact me, feel free to do so. However, if you want to criticize this message or tell me that I am not hearing from the Lord then don’t waste your time because I will simply delete or tear up your correspondence, and you will most certainly not get a response from me. I don’t waste my time on fools. This message is not something that I will defend, argue about or even try to convince you that it is of the Lord. That is not my job. My job is to be the messenger. The message is God’s, not mine. Argue with Him about it.
