'Tis The Season...

Usually about this time, I begin praying and seeking the Lord for His heart regarding the New Year.

Christmas has come fast this year, and so has the New Year and so today is the first I've turned my thoughts towards God's word for 2016.  I didn't expect the Spirit of the Lord to say anything to me - these were really my own thoughts...
   -   No prayer
   -   No study
   -   No fasting

... just me, thinking.

But instantly my spirit filled with an impression of the New Year that I had to check in with the Spirit of God and ask, "Is this really your heart for next year?" Or really is this just my hope for my own life?

Nope - the hope for my own life is our Heavenly Father's hope for us all!

Next year 2016 will be a year of RETURN and a year of ABUNDANCE.
You will experience God's Jubilee year of Abundance when you return to the Lord!

Now, in the past I've felt God had a heart for our prosperity and a release or restoration of all that had been lost to us.  But many of us did not receive that release and restoration.  And so I asked the Lord, what is the difference in this "return" and "abundance" and will His people receive and walk in this word next year?

Here is the image my heart saw:  a kind of labyrinth or maze of many doors. (Revelation 3:7-12)

Each part of the maze leads to a door that is unlocked for those who have already received the "Key of David."  We've received the keys, but we haven't searched for the doors or attempted to walk through them - we've just been praying and asking for what's behind them like contestants on the "Price is Right" asking for Door #1, #2 or #3.

But now is the time to RECEIVE that which is behind each door instead of just praying and asking.  How?

• When we RETURN to loving
• When we RETURN to listening
• When we RETURN to learning
• When we RETURN to living
• And When we RETURN to giving

THEN we will receive the ABUNDANCE God has for us through each of these areas of return.

1.  LOVING:

• Love the Lord our God through true praise and worship in spirit and in truth
• Love OURSELVES through forgiveness and an understanding of our image in Christ
• Love our neighbor as ourselves
• Perfecting our love - because as Jesus is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17) 
• Receiving God's love - because perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18)

2.  LISTENING:

• It's time to learn how to hear the voice of God and how He speaks to YOU
• It's time to listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to actually guide your life
• It's time to listen to true Prophets Pastors Apostles Evangelists and Teachers. Which brings us to...

3.  LEARNING:

• It's time to really commit to reading the word of God again.
• It's time to now learn how to study the word of God
• It's time to learn how to apply the word of God to your "every day life"
• It's time to walk in the Word of God in your life
• It's time to manifest the Word of God through your life.  Which brings us to...

4. LIVING:

• It's time to live life (John 10:10)
• It's time to live a Godly life (2 Peter 1:3)
• It's time to live life as a light in a dark world (Isaiah 60:1-2)
• It's time to live life walking in your purpose
• It's time to live life walking in power
• It's time to live life walking in peace
• And it's time to life life walking in prosperity! Which brings us to...

5. GIVING

• Malachi 3:7 - return to giving your tithes and offerings and heaven will be opened to you!
• Luke 6:38 - return to giving and others will give unto you!
• 2 Corinthians 9:10 - return to sowing seed and the fruits of righteousness will be opened to you!

When you make the effort to return to love, it will seem as though you are walking through a maze.  Commit to it, let the Spirit of God guide you, don't give up, don't turn back.  And if you do, you will get to an open door of abundant love in your life!

When you make the effort to return to an intimate, personal and mutual relationship with God in which you are not just hurling prayers at Him, but where you are striving to hear and to listen to Him, then you will find and open door of God's power in your life! There is power in your relationship with Him. (Ephesians 3:20)

When you make the effort to return to the Word of God - it may seem like a maze that you will get lost in before you find the door.  But when you do, God will open the door of His word to you! That means all his promises, benefits and His will (Joshua 1:8) as well as the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4) will be an open door of God's abundant word in you!

When you make the effort to return to living the life God intended for you - you will find yourself walking in abundant peace, health and prosperity unlike anything you've experienced before! (3 John 1:2)

And when you make the effort to give, you will find yourself wanting to give up before you find the open door that is waiting for you.  But if you persist and do not turn away, or cease from giving, you will find an open door of Kingdom Economics that will abundantly supply provision, wealth, riches and prosperity!

***Look, I am not just expressing a positive, encouraging word that is based in my own hopes.

THIS IS THE TRUE AND FAITHFUL WORD OF GOD FOR 2016.
But not everyone will walk in this word for 2016,

1. It will take commitment
2. It will take effort
3. You will want to give up
4. The enemy will resist you
5. And it will take a faith you've never walked in before

*** In truth, this is a positive, encouraging word that is based in GOD'S HOPES FOR YOU!

Our Heavenly Father has great hope that each of us will commit; make the effort; not give up; resist the devil and strive to have this word made manifest in our lives.  Be diligent and you will be rewarded - Heb. 11:6

God has a wealth of abundant prosperity waiting for us so that His Kingdom covenant can be established in the earth and through your life for the benefit of this dark, hurting world and to His Glory.

Return to Him and He will return to you great abundance in all areas of your life for 2016.

I pray you this word in your life and a BLESSED and HAPPY New Year for 2016.

Power, love and peace to all -

LIGHT; Illumintation and The Word...

Just today - December 2, 2015 - I have heard two (2) prophetic words regarding a return to God's word:

• Dr. Mark Chirrona in a live meeting on the Word Network
• Pastor Senil in the camp of Prophet Kim Clement

Both have said that in the light of all that is going on in the world right now - from the attacks in Paris, throughout the world and now in reference to the shooting in San Bernadino, CA - God is calling His prophets and prophetesses, as well as His Apostolic leaders and prayer warriors to return to His Holy Word!

Amen! Hallelujah!
Isaiah 60:1-2 - "Arise, shine for the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For darkness covers the land; gross darkness the people!"  Jesus is the Light.  Jesus is the Word.  Return to Jesus through His Word and let the light of your illumination shine!

Please read my last two prophetic words to leaders and those called to the office of Prophet - both groups are charged with the mandate to return to God's word!

I am charged, jazzed and energized - this confirmation of God's rhema word by two individuals that I greatly respect is deeply meaningful to me - especially as that God used my prophetic words to speak to me and confirm that I have indeed returned to a study of His word.  But even still, I know it could be more.

Leaders and Prophets: I know you want to be used effectively for the Kingdom of God! To those of you who are credible, legitimate and have a pure heart towards the oracles of God - I beseech you to have that same pure heart and diligence towards the Word of God as well.  When you do, when you return to God's Word, you will see (just as I have in myself) a mighty, powerful, ignited and elevated flow of His prophetic power in you!

WHY is this important?  I see (brand new right now) several specific steps:

• A return to God's word is a return to God's heart for His people and His Kingdom
• This will burn out by the fire of the Spirit any "mix" of law and grace, tradition and false doctrine
• When your understanding of God's heart is pure, your heart to hear His oracles will be purified
• In this purified state, we will be able to see more clearly future enemy attacks still yet to happen
• And when we see them, we are strengthened to battle in prayer to STOP THEM in advance!!!

Spread this word, share this blog to every prophet, prophetess, 5-Fold leader and prayer warrior you know.

Power, love and peace, ya'll -
~Pastor Deidre Campbell-Jones

Prophecy for the Prophets

Not long ago I had a word for the Prophets and Prophetesses who are currently standing in the gap and doing the will of God through their office and gift.  I was able to text a few of the Prophets I know, and I put the brief word on Twitter.

But this word for the office of the Prophet still crops up in my spirit - and is longer and more detailed.  And now, as I've just recently received another word for ministers and leaders, I feel both are aligned and I must put them in writing for a larger audience and a wider audience potential.

PROPHETS:
Currently, the men and women of God who receive His oracles and His Word from His mouth to theirs - are under attack of the enemy.  These attacks are not your everyday, run of the mill attacks.  These are specific, individualized and severe attacks.

When I say specific and individualized, what I mean is that each one is being attacked in a way that is severe for that person.  One attack of a $1000 debt may not seem as severe as the well known prophet who is battling for his life.  Or one prophetess who is being attacked in several - even multiple - seemingly small areas all at once may be just as severe to her as is the attack on another well known prophet whose ministry is being bombarded with devastating lies and accusations launched entirely by the enemy.

Now, there are those who have walked in the office of prophet who have turned away from their calling, or fallen to depression or sin, or who are weak in their faith and their trial has been ongoing.  They are not the ones to whom I am speaking.  Their trials are a result of walking outside the will of God and the covering of the Lord.  They have left themselves open to the enemy and have been suffering the results for over a year now.  These prophets and prophetesses deliver a false, or hit-and-miss word that is labored to come forth.  They are struggling in the flow of their gifts in the ways they are used to flowing.

To these prophets and prophetesses the Lord says, "Repent.  Turn away from the temptation of sin.  Do not grow weary in well doing.  Weariness is a choice.  Choose instead to return to my word: My written word - the bible.  Delight in my Word and I will delight in delivering unto you my clear, untainted rhema word again.  Your own sin or weariness or the thorns and thistles of life are choking out my clear, untainted word - muddying it's truth, power and effectiveness.  Return to my Word, and return to my joy - for my joy is the strength of your life.  My joy is the strength of your word.  My joy is the strength of your ministry and My joy will be the strength of your prosperity in all areas of your life, your gift and in your victory over the enemy."

Then, there are also those who are called to the office of prophet, and know that they are, who either have rejected their calling or have warped their own calling through the ways of the world.  These are indeed not necessarily suffering from either an old trial or a new attack.  The enemy is quite comfortable with their choices regarding their calling and - he even keeps some of them deceived into thinking they are actually in the will of God, by staving off their attacks and possibly even bringing false blessings into their lives.  I am not speaking to these individuals as well.  These individuals are feeling good, possibly even blessed as well - but their word (if they give it) is false.  It is worldly advice.  "It is not of Me, says the Lord.  They are not even positioned to hear Me.  The enemy has them deceived and feeds them their words in a voice that seems as mine.  But he is a false light, a liar, the father of lies and there is no truth in him. Therefore, there is no truth in their words."

To these would be prophets and prophetesses the Lord says, "You too must return to my written word - the word of the Bible.  I have much to teach you about hearing from me but you will not learn the lessons from any other way but my written word at this time.  Do not turn away from your pastors in rebellion.  Do not turn away from my written word in rejection.  Yes, the Spirit of truth will teach you all things and bring all things to remembrance.  And yes, you have possibly been in the position to hear my word before, but there is a new time.  There has been a new shift.  And the enemy kept you deceived and you did not shift with my people.  But the time is not too late.  You can return to my word, learn of me through my word, through the pastor that I will give you from MY heart.  Trust me in this, at this time and you will be able to trust in receiving My true word once again."

And so, this word that I have now for the Prophet and Prophetess who has been in the word, who has been true to their calling and who have been true to the ministries God has given them - to these in the office of Prophet, "you are under an attack of the enemy, greater than you've known before, in direct measure of your ministry and the success of your word.  The enemy has seen the light of your rising and like Jezebel intent on destroying the word of the prophets by killing them, so too is the enemy attacking you to discourage, kill and choke out the true word of God in you.  These prophets are persevering in the fight - and fighting the good fight of faith.  Their rhema word remains true and clear - although some be labor to hear that word more than they ever have.

However, these you can know are under attack because their knowledge of my written word is as hit-and-miss as the prophets who have stepped out of My will, says the Lord your God.  You must take care not to mix law and grace at this time.  You must be careful not to mix false doctrine at this time.  You must take care not to preach from traditionalism particularly at this time.  And most of all, though your study is true and accurate - it was accurate for a prior dispensation of truth.  The enemy has used your mix to weaken your faith and he has slipped in through your weakened defenses, like a breach in the wall of protection around you.  My Word, My written word is a hedge of protection around you.  Now is the time to recheck and double check with ME, says the Lord your God, on the word you knew as true.  It is not that My written word and the revelation you had is false now, but I want you to come closer to ME and receive a fresh and deeper revelation of an even greater truth that is for this time and for this day.

I have shifted.  There is a new time.  And there is a new word for this time.  Do not be so fervent and stuck in your current truths; do not be too proud in your current speeches, do not be so entrenched in Social Media that that you speak a word of previous power that is no longer relevant to this shift in power, time and revelation to the church.  I, the Lord your God change Not. and neither does my Word.  But I have a length, breadth and depth of my word that you know not and the time is now.  Return to my written word, return to my study, return to intimacy with Me. I am a Jealous God and my name is Jealous.  And I am Jealous of your time on Social Media, saying what WAS true in me so passionately, or saying what was so passionately true in the church that was not completely of Me, instead of learning what IS now so passionate in Me for today.

Return unto me and your proximity to the bright light of My Glory once again will burn off the attacks of the enemy on your life and blind the demons that plague you so that they cannot even find you to attack any longer.  You will not have to fight in your usual manner, no hours of spiritual warfare prayer, begging Me in the spirit.  Just rest in my word, draw near to my Glory and let me fight these battles for you as you draw close to my written Word.  Then as you do, what you learn and what you study will prepare you for the shift I have waiting for you.  My daughter writing can attest this is true, says the Lord your God."

Oh... well, praise the Lord.  I had no idea of that last part.  But I just write what God gives me.  And yes, I have drawn closer to His word in my own trial and the attacks are falling away.  I do expect full victory, and the full manifestation of the miracle and breakthrough I've been praying for an have sown seed for. And so, I will receive this word as well, in Jesus name, Amen!

Please send me your testimony! For we overcome through the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony... amen?  Amen!

SHIFT!

I had a dream on Oct. 29th - if you've read my Twitter or Instagram around then, you have seen me make a reference to it.

In this dream I was driving on a kind of highway - the surroundings were a vague mix of the outdoors and a few indistinguishable man-made buildings.  There were 4 or 5 lanes of traffic.  I was towards the left, but not in the outer lane. There were several cars ahead of me in the lanes around me - except for the lane to my closest right.  Some were big cars, some not so big - mine was small, but there were 3 people in the backseat.

A push came, like a wind, but not a natural wind.  No one else was affected by it.  And it shifted me smoothly into the lane next to me with no other cars in it.

I HAVE BEEN SHIFTED.
The car I was in represents my ministry; the people in the car are the leaders that will come along side me - and the shift into the empty lane is the direction my ministry is going.  The road in which we travel to get there will be in a "lane" no one else is traveling in - but it is still according to God's will.

In the interpretation of this dream, the Lord gave me this word for His Ministers and Leaders today who are in Him; following their calling and doing the true work of the Lord:

• You are moving in the direction of God's will
• You are following your purpose accordingly
• You may be aware of a shift coming
• You may be aware that there has been a shift
• But that does not necessarily mean that you have been shifted
• You may need a shift - in doctrine; purpose; administration; leadership or relationship with the Father.

If you do not seek a shift at this time, you may just hinder the greater purpose God has for your ministry.  You may find yourself always looking at the back-end of someone elses ministry who is ahead of you - moving to slow or swerving and keeping you from progressing.  You may even be in danger of an accident - if someone else stops in front of you.  I see the potential for ministries to fall like dominoes - like a 9 car pile-up - if ministers and leaders do not seek the shift God has for them at this time.

Do not be so comfortable in the direction and success of your ministry now that you are either fearful or distrustful of the shift because it doesn't match your traditional doctrines or denominational bureaucracies.

This is a time God wants His people - His 5-Fold leaders, and His ministers - to return to Him.

• Return in relationship through personal prayer and communication. God is Jealous of Social Media at this time! Return to Him! Some of your ministries are swerving out of control because of the influences of Social Media! You are spending too much time there, and not enough time with the Father!
• Then return to His Word.  God is giving fresh revelations.  Some of your teachings are based on traditional thought and understanding and the Father wants to weed these out of your understanding and elevate you to deeper truths for this dispensation in time.  Some of your teachings are based on a superficial study and understanding and the Father wants to tighten these up and bring you to a powerful revelation of what He wants to do in you, through you and your leaders at this time.  Some of your teachings are just plain false.  And now is the time to be brave enough, mature enough and bold enough to be re-teachable and admit the errors of your doctrine.

Are you ready to SHIFT?  Are you humble enough to SHIFT?  Are you confident enough to SHIFT?

I have already been shifted and look forward to more for the sake of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

SHIFT!

The Time is Soon -

A few things happened today that reminded me in the Spirit of a prophetic word I received back in 2010.  It is one of, if not the first prophetic words I truly knew I received - and probably the first listed on this blog.

I say all of this keeping in mind Jeremiah 28:9 that says a prophet shall be known when the prophecy comes to pass.  Clearly, the words I've written in the blogs: Prophecy for America 1 & 2 have not yet come to pass and therefore cannot be truly called prophecies - yet.

However, the time is soon.

Because of the message I heard, and the article I read today, I know in my spirit that the time is soon.

The blogs on this site - Prophecy for America #1 and #2 are actually descriptions of a double vision I had mid-year 2010.  Since 2010, my memory has combined the two visions into one - and the last shall be first.  In other words, when I remember the 2 visions now, the 2nd one comes first and the 1st one comes second - and they are combined as one single vision.

If you haven't read them already, check them out now.

Now here is the interpretation that has settled in my spirit over the years, and, it is the same one that flared up in my spirit today along with the thought "the time is soon."

I believe there will be a document that either President Obama will sign or he wants Israel to sign,  or both.  It might be regarding peace or a step towards what he thinks will bring peace.  And President Obama will think he is making the best possible decision for all concerned.  However, this document will not benefit Israel and Israel will not want it signed.  Christians who love and support Israel - especially those with any biblically prophetic insight about Israel - will not want this document signed.  But it will look like the President will sign it.  It will look very bad and hopeless up until the very last moment.  But just at "crunch" time, the President will become baptized with the Holy Ghost.  New Revelation and the truth of God’s will and Word will wash over him and it will change his decision regarding this document. It will also change his understanding of support for Israel, and it will change his decision on a few other significant policies that are “on his desk” for decision.  President Obama is NOT the Anti-Christ in case you didn't already know, but his actions just before his baptism will seem as though he is. 

And the Father says, these things must needs be – even if they do not look favorable – as they are key towards the coming of our Lord Jesus.  Now is the time of preparation for His eminent return.  It is a deep and powerful preparation that includes God’s Glory and Truth in a way Christians have never fully experienced since the times of Jesus through Paul.  The events to come will be the beginnings of a wave of the Holy Spirit throughout the world - waves of His power and Spirit far greater than any revival in history.  These waves will be simultaneous, world-wide and sustaining - not fleeting - and will be evidenced by great signs, wonders and miracles that will affect the whole body of Christ through the work, ministries and lives of "everyday" Christians.

President Obama's baptism in the Holy Ghost will only be known by the reversal of his decision to sign this document - or have it signed.  And his baptism will be the sign to Believers that the new and great waves of the Spirit will begin.

According to the message I heard today, there are soon coming "blood moon" eclipses in 2014.  And the timing of the information in the article I read today, coincide with the first of those eclipses this year - in fact... soon.  Passover, in fact.  These events will mark the beginning of the negotiations between President Obama and Israel.  I believe this will be the dawn of the visions I saw back in 2010. 

Let this word prevail true, Lord - for the time is soon.

Choose for you; Choose for them

I've just recently had a clarification of a thought that I've probably even written about in blogs below.

Joshua 24:15 "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

We really are living in the days of choice, once again.

As believers, we need to make that choice once and for all, and then raise our children unto that choice.  It even says so in the scripture above.

Let me back up a bit...  Here's what I was thinking before I found the full scripture:

I was thinking about believers today, and children my 7 yr old son's age.  We can't straddle the fence any more in our Christian walk, and we can't raise our kids without teaching them how to walk that walk for themselves.  See, we all know the world is in an upheaval.  And we as believers know we cannot truly manage it without the help of the Lord.  But it goes much deeper than praying, "Lord, help me."

In the Garden of Eden there was not simply a display of deception and disobedience - but instead it was the dawn of a war of the worlds.  God created this world.  He established everything in it, formed man and woman as stewards of this world and gave them everything they would ever need to not only manage it, but replenish it, rule it and succeed in it.  Then God have them explicit instructions how.

But before they could get to it, satan came in through the back door and made a bid to Eve, knowing if she bit the bait, he would be given free reign (and I mean that literally), to establish the systems of his own world and sit as a prince on its throne.

In essence he was telling Eve - you can't be a proper steward of God's world if you aren't really sure of his instructions or his intentions.  Trust me, believe me and you will be the stewards of the world I will establish through your seed and the generations of your ignorance and disobedience.

You know the rest of the story...  and now 6000 years later all of mankind is largely clueless to the treason and the bargain unwittingly struck in that Garden at the dawn of time.

2000 years ago, however - Jesus came to set up new terms and resubmit our original choice to us.  The new terms are this: believe that He is the Son of God, crucified and risen on the third day, and you will be saved from the consequences of Adam and Eve's actions, and restored back to their original dominion.

Oh, wait... those new terms ARE the New Testament - or in other words, the New Covenant - that, through faith in God and belief in Jesus, is written upon our hearts and placed in our minds. (Hebrews 8:10)

Here's the problem...

In 2000 years, we as Believers have gone through cycles of restoration and what it actually means to walk in our original dominion.

True restoration hits a down cycle when we hear and believe things like: healing and prophecy were for the early church; we believe in the Holy Spirit, but not the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues; ministers and preachers must be ordained through a process of so many years of bible college or seminary and chosen by the church hierarchy; and prosperity teachers are not biblical.

Oh, there is so much more that we hear in church, see on Christian TV and read in Christian literature that clearly says we as Believers are largely still "working out our salvation" instead of walking in our dominion!

But as the Lord's return gets closer and closer, the circumstances of this world and our lives become more dire, prevalent and imminent: we must truly choose this day - today - who we are going to serve.  And I mean REALLY serve!

In case you hadn't noticed, the days are gone when we can be a Christian and operate in a worldly financial system.  Gone are the days when we can be a Christian and believe in abortion and support Gay marriage.*  Gone are the days when we can be a Christian and pick and choose whether we believe in tithing, healing, prophecy or prosperity.  Gone are the days when we can be a Christian and get away with just going to church on Sundays, or holidays.  Gone are the days when we can send our kids to Sunday school and think they'll be ok finding Jesus on their own when they're grown.  Gone are the days when Christians can be content with the knowledge that their place in heaven is secured, while still living their lives as if confessing Christ as Lord and Savior was all that was required.

To whom much is given, much is required.  But we live like we want to get so much more from God without giving Him any more than we already have been.

Gone are the days of the lukewarm Christian.  God is saying choose if you will be hot or cold; all or nothing; life or death - before He spits you out of His mouth for good.

More is required of you.

More belief.  More hope.  More love.  More compassion.  More truth.  More wisdom.  More Grace.  More Power.  More Glory.  More Faith...

And when I say more faith, I mean use more faith.  You've already been given all the faith you need.  But we Christians only use it for the big things: lost a job; lost a loved one; loosing a house; filing bankruptcy; car broke down; kids are in jail - you know the drill.  And if we use it and we don't get the job, or the loved one doesn't get healed, or the prayer doesn't seem to get answered, then we give up on faith all together.

But here's a truth for ya': we only exercise enough faith for God's permissive will and sometimes not even that. We as believers don't even know how to muster up enough faith to walk in God's divine will.  That is walking blind for sure! That is walking by faith and not by sight for EVERYTHING: groceries, gas, a pleasant marriage, a good job, a mortgage free house; saved and Holy Ghost filled kids; healing the cashier at Big Lots 'cause her back hurts; casting out demons from the panhandler with the sign at the end of the freeway; praying in love for that backstabbing, lying boss who is persecuting you at work, and telling the banker, the doctor, your parents, your spouse and even the preacher, "That's not what the word of God says!"

Living a life of faith is not easy, but that's because we don't know how.  But it's still your choice.

Living in the Kingdom of God and not the kingdom of this world is scary, but that's because it goes against the grain and leaves us with doubt.  But it's still your choice.

Living a sold out, supernatural life of Dominion is crazy; but that's because living in this dog-eat-dog world is all we know.  But it is still your choice.

It is time to choose.  Life or death.  The world you know or the Kingdom you're supposed to reign.

Choose ye this day whom you will serve, and then teach your kids.  They are the ones who will need it the most.

Power, Love & Peace - ya'll

(*) 3.5.2014:  Gay Rights and Gay Marriage are not the same thing.  Everyone deserves the right to be respected, loved and not discriminated against.  Standing against Gay Marriage as a Christian is not a form of discrimination.  There is a very fine line between loving and respecting anyone who is homosexual and not supporting the homosexual lifestyle.  We have to take our example from Jesus and the adulterous woman.  Jesus loved her and did not condemn her, but he did not support her "right" to commit adultery any longer.  He said "go and sin no more."  As Christians it is not our job to change a homosexual's lifestyle.  But it is our job to show the love of Jesus - we do that by not discriminating.  As for the changing - let's leave that up to God, without accidentally (or purposefully) sanctioning the lifestyle in the process.

The Redemption of Canaan

I've said it before and God said it to me again, "Do not worry for the things of the world," He said to me this morning.

"Do not worry for what you will see and for what you will hear," says the Lord in regard to the future of America, Israel, and the other nations connected to us.  "Do not worry over what you will hear the media saying; what the politicians and leaders are saying, and even what the prophets and preachers are saying.  For they see in part and prophecy in part."   And I, as the maidservant of the Lord, only see in parts that seem to fill in the blanks of the parts of others.

The Lord God spoke to me this morning and told me yes, it's going to look bad - really bad.  President Barak Obama must needs be - and the things of this world and the decisions he will seem to make must need be.  The Lord God has said He will redeem Canaan through President Barak Obama.  But it will look very bad before this is evident.

The preachers and prophets that see President Barak Obama signing against Israel in the guise of Peace are right in as much as they can see.  The connections his critics try to make between the President and the Muslim nations must need be.  "How can a people be moved if they feel have no connection to the one whom I (sayeth the Lord God Almighty), have chosen to move them?  I will redeem Canaan and bring reconciliation to my lost and dispatched, dispised and rejected sons and daughters through President Barak Obama.  Not because he is a Muslim bent on destroying America (which he is not), nor because he is working on behalf of the plans of the devil to destroy Israel (which he - Obama - is not)."

The devil has no plans - he is part of a plan that he has already lost.  And the role President Barak Obama will play are on the side of good and not evil, blessings and not cursings - life and not death. But it will not seem so.  Up until the very last it will not seem so.  The media will report that President Barak Obama "has signed it" - and it will seem the worst fears of Christian and Jewish leaders for America and Israel have come to pass in favor of what Islam and Muslim leaders are fighting for.

"But the Holy Spirit will not be mocked and I, the Lord your God am not a man, that I should lie. What I have spoken, shall accomplish what I set it out to do, and I shall see My precious son Barak come into the fullness of My Spirit and My purpose for him, for America, for Israel and for Canaan.  For I know the thoughts I have of you, thoughts of good and not evil to give you an expected end."

What the prophets, preachers, teachers, political leaders and media spin-doctors expect - and what they shall see, and what they shall report are not of Me, sayeth the Lord our God.  "For my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts. Lean NOT unto your own understanding!" commands the Lord our God.

When it comes to the seeming end, you will think the Lord God has forsaken America and Israel.  "You will think My Word as void. Jesus, My Word and My Glory, will prevail and has prevailed.  Canaan has been redeemed just as Israel has been blessed.  The temple plans have been laid for its rebuilding. Isreal and all the seed of Abraham have been promised to receive vineyards they did not plant and houses they did not build. Do not suppose your partial vision and partial understanding is all of Me - if any man think He is a prophet I, the Lord your God will reveal myself to him in dreams and in visions, but I show in part and reveal in part, that you may see in part and prophecy in part.  But I will not move upon the Earth without first revealing my secrets unto the hearts of man."

America has a prominent prophetic role in the history of this world's future.  But many cannot see this nation written in the pages of God's word.  But just as Israel is scattered and fractured, yet spoken of as a whole, so is America one, but you will find her spoken of in the pages of God's word as scattered and fractured - parts of separate wholes.

Israel is blessed and has been from the dawn of the age.  America is blessed, for the prayers of her citizens were heard before the formation of the heavens and the earth.  "And make no mistake," sayeth the Lord our God, "President Barak Hussein Obama is a child of God - a most precious child of God - chosen, ordained, consecrated and highly anointed for such a time as this and for this purpose and unto the utmost Glory of the Most High God!  Do not mess with Mine anointed! For My Kingdom is come.  My will is done, on Earth, just as it is in Heaven."

Let all who have an ear to hear, let them hear.  Amen.

Power, Love & Peace - ya'll

The Redemption of Eve

For a while now - perhaps about 10 months - I've been hearing about "women".

I have heard messages about women.
I have heard prophecies about women.
I have received prophecies specific to my "womanhood".

Then yesterday morning God spoke to my Spirit and mentioned in His message to me that, "...it must need be unto me, as a woman, as a lioness whom He has raised up, to do that which He has purposed me to do."

And then last night, while teaching, a student asked me a question regarding scripture that I almost couldn't answer because of a partial revelation about women!

Genesis 3:15 "And I [God] will put enmity between thee [the serpent] and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."  This is the scripture the student asked me about.  Generally he just wanted the basic meaning.  But I got stuck on the first part of the scripture - that God would put enmity between the woman and the serpent... yes between her seed and his seed, but specifically the "woman." 

God didn't say He'd put enmity between the serpent and man (meaning mankind), He said "woman".  And since the consequences of sin in the Garden pertain to all mankind, male and female, for all time, until Jesus returns, so does this comment to the serpent.

Any consequence to Adam pertains to all men.
Any consequence to Eve (who at that time was only referred to as "the woman" or Adam's "wife") pertains to all women.  Therefore, God's comment to the serpent regarding enmity between him and "the woman" pertains to enmity between all women.

It just seemed highly significant to me, that women would be singled out.  Because, once God said, "and between your seed and her seed," He then covers all mankind who are Believers - both male and female.

I was in the process of teaching to the class that through the remission of our sins, (Matthew 26:28) the shed blood of Jesus remitted us from sin of the Garden and all its consequences.  Not only are we redeemed from the law, but we are also redeemed from all consequences of sin - if we know and acknowledge and repent.

Therefore, I told the student that I believe women will be redeemed before men, in the End-Times from the "curse" of their consequence in the garden.  I told him this was my belief without proof...  yet. He did then show me a blurb from his study bible which said generally the same thing.

Wow. Ok - I just accepted that as confirmation.  Not only to my opinion, but also to all the prophecies and messages I'd heard about women and had received specifically as a woman.

THEN: Here's what God showed me and revealed to me in a vision last night while going to sleep.  Women will most definitely be instrumental in the End-Times and the ushering in of the New Millennium.  Think of it as God restoring "balance to the force" to coin an old Star Wars phrase.

Let me refer to these goings on in terms of "Old Eve" and "New Esthers," just as there was "First Adam" and the "Last Adam" - Jesus.

Old Eve brought about the "demise" of this first Earth. 
New Esthers will bring about the rise of the New Earth - meaning: circumstances in the End Times that will facilitate and give rise to the prophetic necessities just prior to the coming of Christ.

The first man was given the task to replenish and subdue the earth.
Men in the End Times will contribute to the demise and destruction of the earth.  Now, I'm not saying that there's going to be some cataclysmic Armageddon and earth will cease to exist and all mankind will die.  No, but through the persecution and destruction, systems crumbling, wars and rumors of wars, devastation and trials, it may feel like it.  And many may even wish for it.  Men will be the principle driving force in these circumstances.

Women are attributed with introducing death into mankind through Old Eve.
Men will be attributed with the death of mankind and New Esthers will usher in new life - everlasting life; Kingdom living and the Tree of Life.  Where Old Eve was deemed as "the mother of all living", the New Esthers will be resurrected and redeemed as the "mothers of all living - eternally."

Not only will women be instrumental in the End Times, but New Esthers will be ushering in the Glory of God to mankind, where Old Eve had initiated mankind's separation from the Glory of God.

In case you didn't know we ARE in the end of the End Times.  Look around: New Esthers are being raised up all over the world for such a time as this.  Not sure if you can see an Esther or if you will be an Esther?
Here's how to recognize US:

• Esthers are orphans - either by faith, economic status, education, politics or denomination.
• Esthers are the least considered, unknown, hidden, masked and undercover.
• Esthers are chosen ONLY by the King of Kings - a woman promoted by mankind is no Esther
• Esthers have a supernatural consecration, devotion, spiritual discipline and uncommon lifestyles
• Esthers stand out as unique, different, odd - though smart, educated, beautiful, and/or talented
• Esthers will step out in bleak, dark, horrific and hopeless times as a voice and an example
• Esthers will be rags to riches stories and will quickly rise from least to most, poor to rich
• Esthers may be isolated, with perhaps only one person/man as her covering or support
• Esthers may seem to be overnight successes, with circumstances seemingly against them before
• Esthers will (almost) single-handedly facilitate the deliverance of an entire people, nation or city
• Esthers will be fierce spiritual warriors, with great enmity, against the powers of the enemy
• Esthers will walk in the supernatural Glory of God as purposed from the First Dominion

Oh, Daughters of Jerusalem! Daughters of Zion! Arise and be counted!  Be chosen amongst the chosen! And like the women present on the day of Pentecost - be baptized in the Spirit of the living God, and be who He has purposed you to be, with boldness, power, love and truth!

Power, love and peace, ya'll!

Blessings & Curses

Yes, God is not happy with the decisions of many Americans.  But He loves ALL Americans.

Yes, God is not happy with the decisions of many, many people all over the world, and in every nation - including Israel and Palestine.  But He loves them all.

God so loved the WORLD that He have His only begotten Son, so that whosoever should believe on Him would not perish, but have everlasting life.

God has already given His love, forgiveness and path for redemption to ALL mankind - not just to those who would believe, might believe or do believe - but to ALL, whether they will ever believe or not.

God is not "punishing" America - nor is He punishing any country, nation or race of people.

The "punishments", curses, trials, sufferings and deaths of any group of peoples; a country or a nation; a city, town, community or village are a direct result of our own sin, our own sins, our own decisions and the curses out of our own mouths. 

The state of our world is, and always has been a direct result of mankind deciding every single day, over and over again, to eat of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil instead of eating from the Tree of Life - Jesus, the Lord and Christ.

I have heard "prophets" and "prophetic analysts" speaking on the alleged damage American political leaders, including President Barak Obama have and are making that they say will destroy America.  I don't know what these "religious leaders" are trying to accomplish.  It seems like they are fostering more fear mongering - fear mongering in the name of God - to counteract the fear mongering in the name of Allah.  I don't know...

They provide no solutions, no options, no hope and no plan of action, accept to breed doubt and mis-trust in our leaders; fear of what will happen to our economy, safety and national freedoms; and a helplessness that says not only is God not doing anything, but He is bringing this judgement upon the whole country because of a few rebel, un-patriotic, non-Christian Americans who "may not actually be American" anyway. 

BUT, here is the vision God just showed me: He wants to scoop America and even the world into His arms and cradle us like a precious baby who is still just learning to walk, stumbling and getting bumped and bruised, who then accidentally tumbles against the hot stove and gets burned, even though we were told not to touch it.

I still see the baptism of our President in the Spirit of God; the Holy Ghost.  I still feel the love and compassion God has for America... and Israel and Palestine.... and all of the world.

The decisions of the political forces in this world are no surprise to God.

The political forces of this world - the powers that be - are all operating in a power that comes only from God.

And all things WILL work together for GOOD, for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.

If you love the Lord, have confessed Him as your Lord, and are called according to HIS purpose (and not your own), then you should know that the economy, health care, international, domestic and community terrorism, abortion, world-wide famine, cheating political leaders, and cross-gender homosexual dancers on TV are not all a part of God's unfavorable judgement on us, but are all a part of the same epidemic sickness that mankind has suffered from since the Garden of Eden: Sin - which is separation from God.

Revelation 22:1-3: And He showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.  In the midst of the street of it, and of either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.

So... here's what I wish I could say to all those so-called "servants of God" who are "prophesying" and "interpreting prophetic instances" regarding America and the alleged judgement of God they say we are and will be suffering: if you are truly a servant of the Most High God - serve Him and serve the nations and their leaders by providing the Tree of Life to them, so that she can yield her fruit every month and so her leaves can be for healing.

Every month PRAY healing and life (remembering that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life) to all nations and her leaders.

The fervent prayers of the righteous avail much.  If you feel your prayers are ineffectual, the first problem could be that your prayers are weak and infrequent, or prayed without power instead of fervent.  Or most likely it could be because you do not realize that YOU as a believer (any believer), ARE the righteousness of Christ - not by your own efforts, but by faith through Jesus Christ.  You CAN and should be accomplishing much through your prayers.

Ephesians 3:20: Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above ALL that WE ask or think, according to the POWER that works in US.  We have power in prayer, through faith and belief.

If you feel America is cursed, pray blessings upon her.  If you feel your government and her political leaders are cursing you and all members of this nation, then pray blessings upon them.  The Lord says in Luke 6:28 "Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."

Since you as a believer are redeemed from the curse of the law, there is power in your blessings.

May God forever bless America, her leaders. And today I pray that God will bless President Barak and First Lady Michelle Obama with the pure salvation of the Lord and baptism in the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Power, love & peace ya'll -

The Split

I see a change happening.

I see a splitting off in the spirit.

4  1/2 or 5 years ago, during President Obama's campaign I saw a splitting of the people - a choosing up of sides that had nothing to do with the political arena.  It was a spiritual dividing line that used the campaign as a cover.

Dodge Ball got banned when I was in elementary school, but we used to play in secret - or so we thought.  We would choose up sides, bust each other with the ball and hope we didn't get busted for playing.  It was that clandestine choosing up of sides that I saw in the spirit realm.  And the dividing line was not Christians on the Republican side and everybody else in every other political party.  Each party got their "fair share" of Jews & Gentiles; Saved and Un-Saved.

Then a year or more ago I saw another splitting off - this too was political/spiritual in nature.  I saw the peoples of America lined up behind 3 crowns: who would they serve?  They were filing in by the masses in even lines, equally numbered and marching towards the crown of their choice and these crowns represented their master; their allegiance and their commitment.  Only one crown was for our Lord Jesus Christ.

But today I see a split that is religious/spiritual in nature.  And perhaps that is actually an accurate description of the split itself - between the "religious" and the "spiritual".  The bible says true religion is helping the widows and orphans, but the word "religion" has become a by-word for the bureaucracy, regiment, doctrine, structure and "social climate" of the church today.

And let me tell you in case you didn't already know - the word has much negative connotation and it is mostly justifiable.

I wasn't "raised in the church".  Church bureaucracy and mores bewilder me.  Much of it just does not match up with the word of God written in my bible.  It's a conglomeration of tradition, pomp & circumstance; show-boating and showmanship that is protected, defended and enforced through falsely applied scripture, obedience, guilt and even shame.

And what I see is that God is tired of it. 

God is tired of preachers demanding that their congregation worship Him in Spirit and in Truth - and yet, no one does.  In many churches "Praise and Worship" has become a title that designates a particular time in the service that has little to do with with opening communication with the Holy Ghost and an invoking of the power of God's Glory.

God is splitting off the old religious powers that formulated these structures and traditions with a remnant of Kingdom minded preachers that will let the Holy Ghost have His way as in the early days of the church.

God's people are desperately praying for His intervention; for answers; for miracles; for power and the manifestation of His promises.  But God has been limited in His ability to answer these requests because of the structural limitations placed on His sources for expressing those answers! If you want God to work in your life, then give Him free reign to do so!

And another thing - how can church leaders say, "let all things be done decently and in order" then turn around and say that the Holy Spirit would not act in certain ways that they might deem as disruptive, radical or outrageous?  Hello... 120 people all babbling, wobbling and praising at 9 am in the morning so that everyone who saw them supposed that they were drunk!?  That doesn't sound like the church's definition of decently and in order!

Or what about the Glory of God filling the temple with such a cloud that the priests couldn't even stand or minister?  That doesn't sound like today's definition of "decent and in order" either. 

The Holy Ghost is craning His spiritual neck and chomping and His supernatural bit, just for churches and pastors to let go and let Him in and stop squelching Him just as soon as He shows up when they ask Him to. Right when the Spirit of God falls upon a congregation, that's when they stop service and tell you it's time to take offering or preach a message with no power from the Word.  No, instead that should be the time to stand and bask in the Glory of God and let the Holy Ghost do the work the people were just praying, praising and worshipping Him for!

That's my soap box... it has been so spiritually frustrating for me.

But I see that the Spirit of God is frustrated too.  The time has come when God will make a change in HIS church! True worship... a praise that He can inhabit... miracles, signs and wonders... and the days shall return when congregations will be in one place and in one accord and the Holy Ghost will descend upon ALL in the room like cloven tongues of fire.  The days shall return when souls will be healed, restored and SAVED by the thousands at one time... The days are returning and even now have begun...

And the days of pastors who stick to their structure of praise and worship, announcements, offering, preach the word, give an altar call and the benediction are over for the Holy Ghost.  This not the church that God has called out. He has called out a body of believers.  The is "church as usual" - no matter how much a pastor may say it is not.

It is a new day.  New preachers are being split off from the old. Old things are passed away, behold all is become new. There is a splitting off from "church as usual" to the church of the unusual and peculiar. Where healings are on the regular, demons are cast out daily, lepers are cleansed and the dead are raised - literally, not figuratively.

Isn't that what we, the church, have been called out to do?

Power, love & peace, ya'll -

New Word...

Only a bit ago, the Lord instructed me that He wants me to begin telling of my thoughts for the Nations and His people.  And specifically, to be confident that my "thoughts" are prophetic and not simply my own.

A new season is here - and many have felt it.  We've felt the shift; we've felt the change... and even if we didn't know what the change was specifically, I know many of us have anticipated it for years now.

This season... while truthfully is indeed a season unto itself, it is actually a season of preparation.  It is preparation for a greater, more spectacular season to come.

And in the spirit of "preparation" there is most obviously much training and pruning taking place.  But there is also elevation and placement.  There is also protection and favor.  And, oddly enough, there is also restoration, opportunity and wealth transfer.  Finally, there is growth, revelation and transition into the Supernatural.

These aspects of what I see as "steps of preparation" may seem disjointed in my limited explanation, but I see a picture more clearly now - a picture that once began with the simple word: "infiltration."

So, in the first, I will describe the season to come - the season of which we are being prepared for, and then perhaps the details of our preparation will seem clearer as well.

The Lord our God is truly beginning to pour out His Spirit upon His sons and daughters in a much greater degree than ever before.  Periodic and previous revelations of the church will be revitalized and revisited and there will be so much more.  We are being prepared for a spiritual battle.  We are being prepared for the beginning of the end.

These are the last days of the last of the Last Days.  This is the beginning of the End of Days - the beginning of the latter days.  We are the generations before the last generations that will see the coming of the Christ.   

I believe that if my son, who is 6 as of the date of this writing, were to be blessed to see the fullness of all his days, plus - he will see the coming of the Lord before all 120 years.  I believe these babies are the last of the babies to be born on this earth... but how many babies constitute the last?  Perhaps my son will be the oldest of this generation - this last generation.  This I cannot say for sure, but I say it as an illustration of how close I believe the end of times acturally are.

And satan knows this better than I.

Do not be misled - these earthquakes in diverse places are THE "earthquakes in divers places."  These wars and rumors of wars are THE "wars and rumors of wars."

We have been in the last days - the 7th day - since the disciples first said so.  But sunset is coming soon.  I see the color of the sky changing... and even darkening.

In fact, the powers of darkness are pitching their last ditch efforts as if they do not know the outcome.

And God is preparing us like never before.  We are the generation to train those who are to come and who are to remain when Christ comes again.  The Lord has called us a generation of "Josephs and Esthers"  who are currently in training so that we can train up the "Benjamin Generation" that is here and is to come.  They will truly be a generation that will know the battle is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.  The Benjamin Generation will be true Spiritual Warriors greater in battle very nearly than even the angels.

And we, leaders of today who hear with a rhema ear and live in the revelatory word of God, we are their teachers.  And we are being prepared.

Now more than any church movement in history - including the dawn of the early church after Pentecost - now is the time when we will learn to manifest the fullness of God's word in ways we cannot yet fully comprehend.  We will begin to walk in ALL the power, authority, dominion and Spirit of God that the Word seems to only hint about.

But the manifestation of ALL will come with the outpouring of God's Spirit.

• ALL will be healed who have a need of healing.
• Multitudes will be saved and delivered like never before
• Devils will be exposed and cast out
• Creative, extraordinary miracles will be performed
• Waters will be walked upon
• The dead will be resurrected - before the coming of Christ.
• People will be translated from place to place supernaturally
• Believers will become supernaturally wealthy
• Believers will have resources that the world cannot get anywhere else
• Believers will hold positions of power, leadership and authority in diverse places
• Soccer Moms will heal broken bones on the field
• Whole communities and towns will come to salvation
• "Commoners" will hold positions of respect and reverence amongst great men and women of the world.
• Regular people will begin to do these and even the "greater than these" things Jesus talked about, and they will teach others how to do them as well.

And because of all of this, Believers will be greatly, greatly persecuted.  Not to worry though... God will still favor us to be the heads and not the tails, the lenders and not the borrowers.  It will infuriate the powers of darkness that rule the world.  But we will maintain, exercise and teach the power we have over the powers of the enemy.

And so we are being prepared in this season.  Our faith is being prepared - the kind of faith that when spoken, manifests that word into the instant and physical representation of that word - just like the God whose image we are created in.

Our belief is being prepared.  A belief that says yes, I can be translated instantly from California to the slave-trade streets in Thailand to save a soul; or to a hospital room across town to heal a child.  It is a belief that knows Christ's death on the cross was also for our prosperity so that the wealth of the world's Billionaires can be supernaturally transferred to us to feed hungry souls that cannot afford it when bread costs a day's wage.

Do you have an ear to hear?

If what I've written seems like utter nonsense and the ramblings of a spiritually delusional and theologically uneducated woman, then you will not be a leader in this generation of preparation.

But if you've felt a pull of understanding and a tug of connection... welcome to the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.  His Kingdom has come.  His will shall be done.  On Earth as it is in Heaven.  And the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimony will overcome the world. 

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

PROPHECY FOR AMERICA #2 - 7/16/2010

Part 2 of this prophetic word to the Nation:

This morning as my alarm went off, I hit the button and went back to sleep. And I saw our President, President Obama sitting at his desk - papers, Bills and pressing concerns lay scattered all across the top. As he looked at them, hands placed on top of them, a flood; a deluge of the Holy Spirit fell from the ceiling upon him, drenching him in the Spirit of God. Then the tide flowed from him and out from him as a wave of water rushing over his desk and washing away all that was there.

Some of the items on his desk were drowned and washed away. Others were cleansed and purified.

Then said the voice of God to me, "America is not forsaken. Just as the Nation of Israel will always represent my beloved Israelites no matter where they reside, America will always represent my beloved Gentiles, those who are adopted by faith into the family of God; the wild olive branch grafted into the tree.

America is not forsaken. She is pruned like a tree and plucked like the eagle's wings. I, the Lord your God am tired of my leaders - the ones whom I have anointed and lifted up - using my Name to propagate their own political agendas and views.

They misuse my Word to confirm and justify their lies and they believe they are justified because of their justification in Christ - because of my anointing. But the Spirit is not in those words and they will be separated from their views. As big churches and big leaders fall for their immorality and unrighteousness; for their dogma and 'religiosity', so too will mine anointed be plucked for their political deceit - deceiving my Believers and prophesying falsely by calling it 'teaching' and 'understanding.'

Even mine beloved John Hagee who loves my people of Israel will see his plucking come and he, like others with him - James Robinson, Perry Stone and others(*) will be separated from their words of lies. Even as America and her system of lies must needs be plucked - gay marriage; housing; banking; foreign policy; peace in the East - even as these issues are plucked and exposed, so too are my people, my beloved Gentiles. So that only those who worship in Spirit and in Truth will have the strength to stand and rebuild."

These are the Word of the Lord, as noted by His humble servant on this day,
~Min. Dez

(*) I see the face of another individual whose name I cannot or do not know at this time.

PROPHECY FOR AMERICA #1 - 7/15/2010

After prayer and fasting for three days, I went to sleep on the evening of the 3rd day and I saw in my mind's eye 3 black triangles each triangle in the shape of a crown and I heard the voice of the Lord saying: "3 kings; 3 kings."

Then I saw a line of people marching towards the 3 kings. And a swoosh like a wave came over the people and I heard the rushing of water - a splashing; a deluge of water like a wave over the people.

And the revelation of God came to me saying, "there are 3 kings of this world - the king of death; the king of destruction and the One True King of Life." And the kings looked like 3 points of a crown. And the people were marching towards the king of their choice and they split - some to the left: the king of death. And some to the right: the king of destruction and others marched towards the King of Life in the middle.

And when the wave of water flushed over the people as they marched, God said, "I am pouring out my Spirit upon them all, but only those walking towards life will receive that anointing."

Then God showed me in the vision of my imagination an eagle in its hideaway nest. God reminded me that the national symbol of America is the eagle. And He told me America IS that Eagle. She is not forgotten, forsaken or punished like the Israelites who chose for themselves kings of persecution. No instead, America is like the Eagle who has retreated and is secluded for a time to pluck its wings, sharpen its beak and claws, and renew its strength.

God showed me in great and vivid detail the Eagle painstakingly plucking out its own feathers revealing the pink, scrawny flesh beneath with tiny, frayed, scattered and ragged feathers exposed. And He, God Almighty, spoke to me as the Eagle plucked saying, "Thus sayeth the Lord your God - America is plucking its feathers. This time of great and devastating trial for individuals is a part of that plucking - businesses; the economy; housing; wall street and banking - systems and individuals alike - even Christians in the churches especially are being plucked.

And like the Eagle whose worst is exposed, its jagged ugliness revealed - so is America revealing its ugliness - seeming even to prefer it and glorify its worst by exposing the worst, wearing it on the surface of life and pulling out; pulling down that which ordinarily seems good. The worst is coming to people's lives and their good things; their comfort, security and best is being plucked from them.

And like the Eagle when his feathers are gone - even though he's plucked all the good feathers on purpose, the Eagle is not at its best. The Eagle cannot fly and cannot soar. The Eagle is grounded and weakened. The Eagle is exposed and in danger - vulnerable. And it must retreat to protect itself during this time of plucking and of great vulnerability.

So too will America be. So too will the individual be - exposing their worst as if it is preferred; exposed in their worst as if it is common. And the eagle, like America plucks its own feathers. The eagle, like America and like the individual do this to themselves. There is no one else to blame.

We do this to ourselves through the choices we make and the decisions we make. America and its leaders will begin to make more and more decisions we do not understand. More systems will fall. Churches will fall. Leaders will fall. Individuals - Christians and non-Christians alike will fall - for the wheat and the tares grow up together and God sends rain upon them all."

But God said to me that as the feathers begin to grow, the Eagle may still pluck them out. It is necessary for balance and optimum performance of the new feathers until finally, ultimately the Eagle will allow the feathers to grow. And like America it will grow strong and full of glory. And eventually the beak and claws will be sharp again. And like America we will be sharp and on top again. It is a pruning that is necessary.

And of the leaders, there will be a few which will be allowed to grow first. And of the churches there will be a few which will be allowed to grow first. Even the people represent feathers. And how we will grow back will be through those of us in the church - the Believers that remain faithful, praiseful and true in Christ Jesus. We who withstand these trials and go through them believing in Jesus, never wavering and never falling to sin - we will rebuild. We rebuild ourselves, we rebuild the churches, we rebuild America, we rebuild.

And like the Eagle's feathers there will be a few individuals who will be allowed to grow first. No Eagle's feathers grow all at once and immediately. Invariably there are always a few that emerge first and will be allowed to grow. Watch for the "firsts" in leadership, in the churches and in the people and then will all the systems, the churches, the people and America itself rebuild and be strong - strong enough to soar once again.

The word of prophecy from His humble servant on this day,
