"THIS IS NOT JUST THE PRETENSE OF ANOTHER WAR"

9/5/13

1 The words of Amos, who was among the sheepbreeders of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 2 And he said: "The Lord roars from Zion, And utters His voice from Jerusalem; The pastures of the shepherds mourn, And the top of Carmel withers." 3 Thus says the Lord: "For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they have threshed Gilead with implements of iron. 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad. 5 I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven, And the one who holds the scepter from Beth Eden. The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir," Says the Lord. Amos 1

"This is not just the 'pretense' of another war. For there are powers at work here; there are spiritual forces at work. For there is a 'gathering' of forces behind the scenes. There are lives at stake. There are forces that will be multiplying with this new war.

Sound the alarm, oh nation of Israel. You who stand upon the wall.....sound the alarm. For there will be portents of weaponry that will call upon your arms. Those other nations that have not met to talk about these affairs, are meeting in secret. The entire Middle Eastern section of the world looks and watches for the outcome.

My children, this world has known many wars, and there have been many 'rumors' of wars, but when the first shot is fired, then the dominoes begin to fall.

There are many 'voices' that speak in the land. There are many pundents and newscasters that say their peace. There are many conspiracy stories. You are a people that like to play with your images and your games, and yet, if you really knew the hour that you were living in, you wouldn't be so quick to poke fun at your leaders.

You are a nation that has had so much. You have your fancy cars and golf tournaments, and you know nothing about what it's like to live in a land where the bomb shells are constantly going off. To have your children blown up in front of you is something that few of you have observed.

I tell you that the pendulum will strike at some point in your land. Perhaps then you will know how serious things really are."

"I TELL YOU THAT THESE ARE THE DAYS THAT I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT"

8/28/13
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be for flocks which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.” (Isaiah 17:1-2, nkjv)

“The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the LORD of hosts.” (Isaiah 17:3, nkjv)

“I tell you that these are the days that I have been speaking about. These are the days that I have been telling you to prepare for. For the smoke will rise, the planes will fill the air. There will be fire and devastation to be seen in and around the land of Syria.

My angels are encamped round about the world at this moment. They know and they have been alerted about these things. Weep and lament for the people in Syria. Weep for those who get caught up in this tragedy. The nations are being stirred-up. The tribes of the earth are being gathered. A fire is sparked by a single flame. Go to war and that spark will spread. Watch as they gather around the area. Watch as the symbols of those lands begin to be noticed.

(I saw in the spirit and bear, and then a leopard. )

Watch as some hold back and will come in later. Where will the innocent run to? Do you think that there will be no retaliation? Do you think that others will not join in? The land will become a heap; pray for those who flee. Flee to where you might find a homeland. Flee to where you mind find hope and freedom. But where will that be? Where will you be safe from the bullets that fly?

"YOU WOULD ENTER INTO AN ANCIENT LAND" ---- CONSIDER THE GAME PLAN VERY CAREFULLY"

Aug. 26, 2013

“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they will be for flocks which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.” (Isaiah 17:1-2, nkjv)

“The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the LORD of hosts.” (Isaiah 17:3, nkjv)

"I tell you oh land that was once formed by my principles, you are coming into a time frame when you will enter into war again. I tell you that the times are in my hands. Be careful how you would approach this thing, says the Lord. For as you would enter into an ancient land, know that there are other powers watching what you would do.

Watch carefully, because the bear(Russia) is watching your actions. I tell you that this skirmish could open up into a full world war. For as the planes encircle that land, you will be spied. The world hangs in the balance here. You America could be but a puppet.

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a figure who held puppet strings and attached to these strings, were various countries of the world. The figure was attempting to move his hands in different ways, so as to manipulate the various countries that he was moving, like one might move a marionette.)

For the enemy knows about these things. He is moving his chess pieces across the board.

But I have a strategy, says the Lord. The enemy thinks he has a game plan here, but he doesn't know the outcome. But I tell you that "if" this war results in a full scale war with many countries involved, the ramifications will be severe on your own soil. For the battle would be brutal; the devastation would be wide. For buildings will collapse, not only in that ancient land, but in others as well.

Oh, but if my people would but humble themselves and pray, then I would heal their land. But how do you heal bloodshed and disease? How do you stop a fast moving train that is going down the tracks? How do you control a tyrant who has shed innocent blood upon his people?

Consider the game plan very carefully. Consider your next move upon the chessboard. Otherwise, the game will intensify. "

"ONCE THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE"

8/23/2013
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion of the flesh, but by love serve one another. Gal. 5:13

"I tell you that this nation that was once the land of the free and home of the brave will lose these freedoms. For you have squandered your freedoms. You have used those freedoms to dishonor Me. You have rejoiced in your sinfulness. You have ignored the widow and the widower. You have not done it unto the least one of these, and because of this, I hold you responsible for your actions.

I have warned you repeatedly about these things. I have asked you repeatedly to turn from your sinful ways, but you have chosen to ignore Me. Do you think that the floods and the fires come with just coincidence? Do you think that the wars that are rising around the globe are just another occurrence of the wars that have always happened?

You would rather listen to the beautiful things said from the pulpits of this land. You would rather shove those things aside that speak of my judgments. Do you think that I say these things because I AM not a loving God? What father would not warn his children about danger? And danger is ahead. Woe to those who have prophesied false things. For you are blind guides to those who follow you.

Watch as those vessels come hidden by the night. Watch as they enter in at the northern part of your land. For they have planned in secret. Will your surveillance help you in that day? Will the watchful eye be ready for these things?

I tell you that on that day the land will be purged. But woe to those who will ignore my hand in it. Woe to those who preach another gospel. Woe to those who ignore my true prophets and apostles. Woe to those mega-churches that just speak of beautiful things. For you will be held responsible for what you preach and teach. "

"NO MORE SHALL YOU PLAY IN THE GARDEN"

8/19/13

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? Psalm 8
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15
"All around you there are hidden things and mysteries to be found. For this world was made so that you might find the beauty of it. The stars and the planets were set by my hand. There is a hidden beauty to be found if you would but seek for it. I created this world so that I might enjoy seeing my children in it.

There was a time when they enjoyed the beauty of it in the garden. But then the beauty was corrupted by lies told by the enemy. I created a place where man and woman could enjoy the fruits that I had created.

Don't give in to the lies and whisperings of the enemy. For you can still find a garden with Me. For I can cultivate your heart. I can cause beautiful things to be planted there. But weeds and thistles can easily grow up. Tend the garden of your soul, says the Lord. I want it to be nourished and strong for the days ahead.

For when the strong winds blow across this land, then what is cultivated there, then what is planted there will give rise to faith and long-suffering. "

"THERE ARE MANY KEYS THAT SOME HAVE TRIED, BUT ALL HAVE FAILED"

8/9/13

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Isaiah 9:2 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? I Cor. 1

"What is the mystery that has been hidden for ages? What is the meaning of life that many have sought after? Where is true wisdom to be found? Where have all the holy men and sages gone to?

I tell you that many have sought far and wide to find the answers to this life. Many have delved into hidden mysteries of the past. Many have sought out gurus and teachers to help them with these answers. I tell you that the deep mysteries of life can only be found in Me. You can go to all of the seminars to find these things. You can travel to the far corners of the globe. You can travel up into the Himalayas and seek out the wisest of men. But none will provide you with the answers that you seek. You will reach a point in your life when you have exhausted all the resources. You will find that you have squandered your life in search for these things. But truly, I say to you, I hold the answers to these things. I have come to enlighten the wisest of men. I hold the key to unlock that door. There are many keys that some have tried, but each one of them has failed. Many are still walking in a dark cave without light. You've reached the end of one of those corridors. It has led you down one other hopeless end. I tell you, my son and daughter, Look to the walls from which you have traveled into this cave, and 'behold' a light that stands in front of you. Come to that light, come to it, for it glows for all to behold. And behold, come out of this cave, says the Lord, and look upon the trail in front of you. For there are many wanderers like you. But now they are carrying lights. It is a procession of those who have come to know Me recently. They will be guided up to the mountain of my house, says the Lord.

Don't turn back and look as Lot's wife did. For in these days ahead, many things will change. Cities will have been washed into the sea. The wind will blow and land masses will change.

Churches will fall and many will seek shelters where they will come to worship Me in Spirit and in truth. Those who have carried the torch for years, will guide the younger ones. In the wilderness many will go and find their habitation in Me. Some will carry on the trades that they had done before this had all happened. Many will be there helping one another.

In my time, I will hasten these things, says the Lord. "

Stephen Hanson

"I AM"

8/6/13

14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. Ex. 3:14
"I AM the God of this universe. I have come to give life and to give it abundantly. I AM He who once came upon this earth, and I AM coming again. I AM He who the prophets foretold of. I AM the Bright and Morning Star. When you look up to the hills and say, 'Whence does my help come from,' you can know that it comes from Me.

Blessed are those who believe in Me without seeing Me. Blessed are those who come to Me with a humble heart. I AM the Great I AM. I AM the one who called Abraham to a land that he knew not. I AM the one who called Moses to let my people go.

Who is the one that would come to ME even now? Who is the one who would lay all their burdens down in front of ME? I AM HE that you can always come to. I AM that life-giving stream. I AM the One who bought you for a price. I AM the ONE who brought creation into existence.

From time everlasting unto time everlasting, I will always love you. May all who come to ME, even now, know that I will fill you up with my Spirit.

I AM searching throughout the globe. I AM looking for who I can fill up their cup with my Spirit. You can come to ME when the days grow darker. You can come to ME when your well runs dry. The enemy cannot harm or touch you when you are in Me and near Me. Know that my children.

For those who are lacking, I will fill you up. For those who are downcast, I will lift you up. I can meet all of your needs through my Son.

My people, don't look at the storms around you. Don't look at the waves. Learn to walk with Me. Walk with Me, even through the darkness that is around you. I will come to you and I will enable you to walk as I have walked. I will enable you to perform miracles that I have done. You will call out to Me and I will rescue you from many waters.

You will say to this mountain, 'Be ye removed into the sea.' For your faith will be rekindled in Me. It will rise up and grow from that small mustard seed. Do not fear the danger that is all around you. Even those things that I have spoken of that are to come; those sieges that come upon your land, you will be delivered, my people. You will be delivered. Even when the oceans rise, I will enable you to prepare for them. I tell you, the onslaught is coming. It is coming, and it will spread across the land. The buildings will crumble. The land will change, but your tent will be saved."

Stephen Hanson

"THEY WILL SEE THE ONE THAT THEY HAD PIERCED"

July 31, 2013
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zech. 12
"On that day I will come back riding upon that white horse. Many will look upon that scene, and they will see Me. They will see the one that they had pierced. Many will go away in shame on that day. Many will come with Me and will be with Me; and they will sit with Me in my kingdom.

The earth as you know it, will have changed. And the great battle that is fought will have ravaged the land. The blood will rise to the horse's nostrils. I come back with a sword to divide between soul and spirit. I have come for my own; but many did not recognize Me. For they will look for a gentle man who is meek and mild. But I come back with a sword and I will separate the wheat from the chaff.

But until then, run the good race. Fight the good fight, because you will need all of my arsenal to use against the enemy. Use my weapons to dispel the fiery darts of the enemy. As the darkness spreads across the land, my light in you will grow all the stronger."

Stephen Hanson

"I TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE RIOTS THAT ARE COMING"

July 21, 2013

12 And because iniquity shall abound , the love of many shall wax cold . Matt. 24

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 2 Tim 3

"I tell you that there are riots that are coming; more and more riots are coming. This land will be filled with so much rioting. People will hate each other from rich and poor and black and white. For the love of many will wax cold. Your differences will come to a great culmination. For at that time when your differences are at their greatest, at that time when you are at odds with each other, the split will occur along the middle portion of the United States.

For have I not made you to be equal with one another? Are any one of you better than anyone else? You say that you have love for one another, but it is just a facade. You can't even tolerate minor differences about when I am coming back. If there are differences and divisions in my body which are so great then multiply them a hundred fold and you see what is around you in the world.

Of course I have called you to be separate, but that doesn't mean that you should be hating someone else. The enemy loves these charades. Why cannot you extend my love to one another? Why are you so proud and conceited? I have loved the foulest sinner. I loved Paul when he was a murderer. There is no extent to my love. It is as boundless as the ocean. Did I show favoritism when I chose my disciples? No, I even broke bread with tax collectors and sinners. But some of you would rule like kings. You set the finest tables. You invite only the finest guests. And yet the poor are begging just for a scrap of bread.

I AM coming back with a sword, and I will tear apart your hypocrisy. You can quote the finest scriptures, but do you extend love to those hurting around you? Do you weep for the innocent children that die every year? I tell you that the entire nation is sick to the heart.

How many times have you prayed that I would heal this land? And yet, many that have offered up these prayers, continue in their divisions and hatred with one another. You are angry children in a playground. Your conservative voices are filled with anger and malice with one another. You hate each side that does not agree with you.

The time will come when I will reap this earth. The chaff and the stubble will be burned up. Will I find fruit that remains or will I find wanton children going across the land?

"THE DAYS ARE HASTENING TOWARDS THE CULMINATION OF ALL THINGS"

7/19/13

2 The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2

"Who is the one that has heard from Me, says the Lord? Who knows my voice? Who can say that they have heard from Me? Have you truly been able to sort out the other voices around you? Do you know the evil one's voice from your own? Do you know of his counterfeit signs and ways of doing things?

I tell you that the world is changing right before your eyes. The boat that is called planet earth is beginning to reel and rock back and forth. Many of those who think that they hear from Me do not. Many of my prophets have become dull of hearing.

The teachers teach, the evangelists gather, but where are those who truly know what's going on in the world around them?

Your Christian radio programs have become a source of entertainment. You delve up the secrets of the past. Some of you have mixed new age philosophies with my word. You have captured the attention of your audience, but have you given them my word?

In time all of your radio waves will be controlled by another. At that time you will have truly understood that the end is upon you. For you have had so many freedoms. But you have squandered them, and you have thought that you were entitled to them.

The drawbridge will close on that day. The time will come when you will have entered into my fortress. Will you have brought the light for your lamps at that time? For outside the walls of my fortress many will have lost their lives. They will have become like lost sheep without a Shepherd. In that day the world will have a one world government. Do not take the sign that he gives unto you. For then your fate will be sealed.

I stand watch upon the walls of the world's stage. The winds are changing. The days are hastening towards the culmination of all things. "

Stephen Hanson

"A SERIES OF VISIONS AND WORDS FROM THE LORD"

7/15/2013

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. Psalm 93:3

*I received this series of visions and words from the Lord while camping these past few days. It was good to get away for a while. Even with some of the catastrophic things that our nation will face in the future, we can be assured that those who put their faith and trust in the Most High, will be safe. We will be affected by them, but God will see us through.

"Waters will flow as they come across the United States. Many cities will be flooded. For as the waters flow they will overflow the banks of the rivers.

(I watched as I was shown a deep river and I knew it was the Mississippi River. The channel of it went deeper and deeper. Huge cliffs were on either side. The rift in the earth caused the river to go deeper into the rift. Homes, people, cars, and all kinds of debris were being washed down the river.)

"The scales of justice have shown that you are found wanting--bloodshed and civil war will be common place in your land. The sounds of peace will not be heard in your land."

"People will leave the cities on that day. They will go out to the rural areas. For there will be looting and violence in the cities. "

"The American flag will be torn and this land will be given a new identity."

(I was shown an eagle and the flag was draped across it, but it was torn in half.)

(I saw the faces of two men. One had a chubby face and was from China. The other one was Russian. Both of the flags of their country were shown, and it was as if they were communicating with each other in secret. Plans were being made in secret as they surmised the fate of the United States.)

(As I continued in prayer, the Spirit of the Lord showed me a very long rectangular tunnel. It projected into the distance. Its walls, ceiling and floor were made of something very solid and it was lit on the inside. People were traveling back and forth in this tunnel. Then in the distance coming towards me was a figure all in white. At first I thought it was an angel, but as it came closer, I knew it was Jesus. His face and clothing were all in white and the entire tunnel structure was bathed in His brilliance. Then with his right hand held up, He said,

"Do not worry, for I will be with you. For as the darkness approaches, my light will grow all the stronger. So as all of those events come, know that I will always be with you. I esteem the man who will endure to the end."

He then said, "This is how my bride looks now----she's spoiled and she thinks she is rich, but she is poor."

(Here the Lord showed me what looked like a Southern Belle with her parasol. She was young in appearance, and seemed to think that she was beautiful and that everyone should be waiting on here.)

"As the days get darker the enemy will try every secret he can."

(I saw a dark closed set of chamber doors like in an old castle. The doors slowly swung open, and a dark figure stepped out beside one of the dark doors.)

"But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world and all of these things. These things will come but I will see my people through."

Stephen Hanson

"MY YOKE IS EASY"

7/8/13

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 11

(During the beginning of this message I saw the Lord bending over to pick up people. Some had been on the ground, and some were in boats. He reached down his hand and lifted them up. The people were walking along a road; there were several of them. The Lord began to carry some of the people on his back and shoulders. He was able to carry as many who would want to be carried. I then noticed that some of the people decided to carry their own loads. The loads began to change in appearance. What at first appeared to be a knapsack or a bag, was transformed into a reptile or serpent of some kind. The vision then faded.)

"Many of my children carry around weights on them that they don't have to. Many carry burdens that they shouldn't have to. Many carry these things because they don't trust Me to carry them. I have said that my burdens are light. The loads that many of you have been carrying have become heavier and heavier weights. You are not free if you continue to carry these things around you. You would treat Me as one who would not be able to carry them for you. These weights have been building for years; and they prey upon you. They not only sap your energy but they can become a device of the enemy.

The burdens that many are carrying are sometimes of your own making. For your worries and concerns are of things that 'could happen' but may not happen. You've conjured up the worst scenerio. To have faith means to see beyond the visible. It means to believe in the impossible.

You don't have to leave your logic behind, but your logic won't allow you to believe. The mind is where the battlefield is fought, and that is where the war is waged."

Stephen Hanson

"THIS NATION"

6-28-13

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Isaiah 53: 1-2

[The Lord began speaking to me these things while I was out at a military base in Colo. Springs.I watched as the men and women in uniforms went about their business shopping in the mall where I was.]

"This nation will face the fiercest battles that it has ever fought.

The wars in the past will be nothing like the ones that are to come. Your monetary system will become devastated. Your borders will be breached---Your military will not help you on that day.

For the the battles will deplete their capacity to return fire.

But I AM the Commander-in-Chief. I AM the highest ranging officer in the land----and I will protect my own on that day. I will not allow the waters to overtake you, my people. But the hills and the high places will not save you on that day.

To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? Who has heard those things from my spirit? Have you not heard that I was there at the beginning? I have always watched over my children. But the time has come that judgment is being poured out upon the land. On that day pray that you will not be taken over by unbelief. Pray and know that my wings will overshadow you. For the land must be cleansed. The pages of my prophetic time table must come into being.

The arm of man will not save you on that day. The siege will last more than a year. The league that is formed will gain in strength.

Woe to those prophets who have not warned you about these things. For their 'smooth' words will overtake them on that day.

Stephen Hanson

"MANY OF THOSE WHO CLAIM TO BE PROPHETS ARE NOT TRUE ONES"

6-22-13

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Jer. 23:21

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. James 3:6

"Many of those who claim to be prophets are not true ones. For they 'presume' to speak in my name., I did not send them, and yet they continued to speak. It was in the past, and today it is still this way. For who would listen to my word? Is not my word coming from my Father? I have said that if you have seen Me then you have seen the Father. But because many do not know Me, they speak from another spirit. It is the spirit that works with the sons of men from the spirit of the power of the air. It is that same spirit that deluded my people in the beginning.

That spirit has blinded many of you. For it is a strange fire that has come upon them. It is a voice, but it is not mine. But I say, 'Woe to them that speak through that spirit.' For they will be held responsible for all those words that they have spoken. Those words will bring decay upon themselves. For they are not life-giving words. It is an evil at work in this hour and few are able to discern it.

You will know them by their fruits. You will know them by their lack of control of their own spirits. For the tongue is a might member, and yet a tiny spark can cause a forest to be set ablaze."

Stephen Hanson

"THE WINDS HAVE BEEN BLOWING ACROSS THE LAND"

6-22-13

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:7-9

"The winds have been blowing across the land, says the Lord. The winds have been blowing and have been "stirring up" many things. No one has seen the wind but you can see the effects of it. No one has seen my Spirit but you know my presence. My Spirit moved across the waters, for I was there in the beginning. A mighty wind came upon my apostles at Pentecost, and they were given new life in Me through this anointing. But there is a wind moving across the land in this hour; and it is shaking and moving people to faith in Me.

But many will ignore this wind. For they would say that this is just another example of the force of nature. But I speak through the wind. I speak through the affairs of men. While I may move and breathe like the wind, I created it.

Strong forces are close at hand. The winds of change are moving across the globe. Battles are being waged and yet many more are being planned in secret. Watch as the melting pot of the Middle East comes to a boiling point. Watch as others are drawn in. The leaders of the earth do not know nor can they discern the wind. They don't know where the recent developments will lead. "

"I DO NOT STAND FOR THE DISORDER THAT IS IN MY CHURCH"

June 12, 2013

And He was also telling them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, „The old is good enough.‟”Luke 5--36-39


"I do not stand for the disorder that is in my church. For some think that just because you have done something a certain way that that is my order of service.

You have developed your man-made traditions over the centuries. You are using old wineskins. You may have the new wine but your wineskins are old!

You say, 'Surely we have the Spirit within us.' Yes, but I AM not allowed to move in your midst. You have the same formalities. You have the same traditions. You say, 'But we have set apostles and prophets in the church.' Surely, because we are implementing these foundational ministries then we are doing what you've asked us to do.

You are still using the same mindsets, says the Lord. Yes, there must be order, but your order is your order and not mine. You still stand and deliver your message, but you don't consider that sometimes I just want you to be silent. My sheep hear my voice, but do you?

Is the church going to be ready for this next realm of the Spirit? Will they be prepared when my Saul's step down? Will they be ready for those who have come out of the wilderness? For this new breed has not been taught by eloquent sermons. They have not gone through a fancy course. They have been fed by my own hand. They are like Elijah by the stream. Be ready for these things, says the Lord. For the one whom you seek will suddenly come to His Temple. I have been tempering and getting these warriors ready. The very buildings will shake when they come upon the scene.

My church is my body and it is not a building. It encompasses men and women down through the ages. They stand ready to do battle. But don't let the battle be hampered by your traditions."

THROUGHOUT THE ANNALS OF TIME I WAS THERE"

June 9, 2013

22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. Luke 16

(This prophetic word began with a vision of a tall cliff. I saw some standing upon the edge of this cliff, and a great chasm separated them from the distant cliff. Some people were at the bottom of this chasm in the darkness below, and then the vision faded.)

"I AM near to the broken-hearted, says the Lord. I care about those who are lowly in heart. I look down upon the proud. I will draw all men unto myself. For a great wind is sweeping across the nation. This wind is making a division line. For a great gulf will form, and it will form because of the line drawn. For this gulf will separate my own from those who don't believe. For on that day the earth will split open. Just as Lazarus and the rich young ruler were separated, so a great gulf will be seen between those who believe and those who don't.

In the days ahead, fierce judgments are coming, but I have an ark of safety for those who believe in Me. For just as many entered into the ark of old, many will walk up that plank and they will find safety within. For your great cities will fall. You have become like Babylon. You dress in the richest of gowns----you worship other gods----you ignore the pleading of the old and poor, and yet you say that you are full and in need of nothing!

Oh, how the mighty nation will fall! Would that you would return to Me. Would that you would look beyond your own strength. You who are rich in technology and achievements. You who have great scholars and universities! You have advanced in many great ways, and yet you still harbor greed. You exalt the rich but look down upon the poor. Your logic is great but your wisdom is poor. You have splintered into so many groups. You have so many churches but few speak the truth. Of what shall I compare thee? In a moment, in a short amount of time, the landscape will change. Perhaps then you will know that I AM God. On that day I will hear your cries. In the midst of the fire and rubble I will still be there. Or will you turn your back on Me even on that day?

Throughout the annals of time, I AM the God of Abraham. I was there when the great Tower of Babel fell. I was there when the great Roman empire fell. I was there when Israel was led into captivity. I was there when Abraham pled over Sodom and Gomorrah. But now through all the pages of earth's history, the final chapters are being written down. Will you know that these are indeed the last days, or would you rather check your astrological charts? "

"THESE ARE THE HOURS OF PREPARATION"

May 30, 2013

2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry , and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl . Jeremiah 47

*This is one of several messages I have received that speaks of a deluge coming in the form of the ocean's water filling-up a large area of our nations' land. I realize that many may not think that these things could come. However, it would be wise to prepare at least in prayer, and to be ready ahead of time, so that we would not be taken by surprise. The Lord God always shares His counsel ahead to time, so that we may be warned. I know that the Lord has also said that He would not destroy the land because of a flood, but this is but an area, and not the entire globe. This message is not meant to cause one to fear, but to be warned, and to be ready when it does come, for it will. This also is not meant to bring about speculations about when the tribulation period is and if we will be taken out or not. I for one don't believe we will be, but we will be saved "through it."

(This prophetic message began with a vision, a scene, of the figure of Christ standing upon the nation of the United States. There was water coming all the way up to his robe, about where one's calves would be. The water was filling-up the entire section of the United States from the eastern coasts to where He was standing, which was along the Mississippi River.)

"Out of the depths of my mercy I AM calling my people in this hour. For these are the hours of preparation. I have told you to prepare in some ways for the events that are to come. I have told some to prepare and get their houses in order. For the waters will rise and they will flood across your nation. All the way from the eastern coasts to the middle part of the United States, they will fill up the terrain.

For the terrain will change in an instant. The waters will recede in time. Many homes and cities will be washed away. You cannot stop these events from coming. But I stand watch. I stand watch. My people, prepare your hearts and homes for these things. For the oceans will rise up on that day. The people will be saved as they come to Me in prayer. For I have always prepared a way out for those who put their faith and trust in Me. "

"IS IT YOUR WILL OR MINE"?

May 29, 2013

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one.[a] Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Luke 10

"My people, why are so many of you restless? Why do you run around doing things that you think will please Me? Why do you join yourselves to things that are of your own making and not mine? There are so many 'causes' in the world, but many of them are things that man thinks that he should do; and then when you do these things you think that you are better people because of doing them.

My service is not to be a 'busy-body.' My service is to sit at my feet and learn of what you should be doing. Don't follow your own leading, but follow mine. Some of you have gotten entangled in the world's affairs. My service is not meant to be burdensome.

Who is the one that I look for in this hour? Who is the one that I will say, 'Well done good and faithful servant?' Is it because you set-up something for your own making for Me? Is it because you implemented and started many new and unusual church programs?

I tell you that many in the church are doing their own thing. And because many are doing their own thing, their reward will not be mine but will dry up as a thing of the wind. "

"The Moon Will Turn Into Blood"

30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. Joel 2

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a scene of the moon's appearance changing. The Lord himself was holding up various templates of the moon. In His hand would be a moon that was crescent-shaped. Then He would pick up another example and this time it would be showing half of the moon. Again and again, the moon's shape would change in appearance as He placed into position a new shape. Finally the moon was completely dark and appeared to be blood red.)

"On that day there will be signs in the heavens above. For the moon and the sun will have changed their appearance. It will be a day of gross darkness. Watch as the seasons change and time accelerates. For surely I will show you signs in the sky and the earth below.

But you will not be left without a warning, my people. For as I said to my prophet Joel, 'Your young men will prophesy and your old men will dream dreams. Upon my maids and men servants, will my Spirit rest. For as the earth groans and continues to be in travail, the sea's fury will rise up, and the earth's crust will open up in various places.

For these are the days of miracles and signs. These are the days of wonders. These are the days of 'shifts' in the heavens. These are the days of alignments of my people. For certain ministries will be aligned, and in time, you will see planetary alignments as well.

Watch as the seasons change. Watch as unusual weather patterns develop. For the earth is in a state of flux. All of these things point to my soon return. "

Stephen Hanson

"STORMS"

May 22, 2013

Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? Isaiah 51:9

"There are many strong winds that have come into the lives of my people in this hour. As the devastation settles across the land, take some time and consider about the storms in your own lives.

For as this great wind came and destroyed much of the land in Oklahoma, I tell you that you have entered into a time frame when many such storms will spread across this land. Pray for those who have lost their lives, but even more, pray that you might be ready for what is to come.

There is a purging and a cleansing that is coming across the land. For the winds are blowing across this land. What will you do when it splits in half? How will the newscasters explain the events of that day? What will they say when the Great Lakes have emptied their waters across the land?

Will you be ready or will you say that this is just another disaster? Where are the leaders of the land in that day?

My people, I will cause you to stand and to be strong. For I have a people whose bones are like the mountains. For as in the days of old I will have judges in the land. Once again I will have my Samuels. The old order of the church with its customs and traditions will have dissipated. The feel-good preachers will have vanished. And this new breed of people will usher in my kingdom."

Stephen Hanson

"SOME WILL BE DECEIVED BY THESE COUNTERFEIT SIGNS"

May 18, 2013

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11

"Press in to my Spirit during these times, says the Lord. For you will need my guidance in following after Me more and more. For the days are hastening more and more towards the darkness that is pervading the earth. The enemy will attempt to show signs and wonders through his servants. Some will be deceived by these counterfeit signs. Remember that he goes around parading as an angel of light. For his subtle forms can easily lead many astray.

But you my people, clothe yourselves with my wisdom in this hour. See through the mists that he clothes himself with. For the darkness has never understood my light.

But an arsenal is building in the east. Troops will be assembling in an hour when you know not. They will travel across the plains of eastern Europe, and this battle will usher in the final strokes. For the pages of my book are being turned, one by one.

Civil unrest will fill the land. Brother will rise up against brother. The love of many will wax cold. But those of my Spirit will rise to their full maturity in Me. They will have a new song in their heart, and signs and wonders will follow after them."

Stephen Hanson

"FOR WHO WILL STAND ON THAT DAY?"

May 14, 2013

But who may endure the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: Malachi 3:2

For the great day of his wrath has come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev. 6:17

"What will be the sign of my coming, says the Lord? Will everyone know Me as the true and living God? To be sure, they will look upon him whom they have pierced. But those who are left, will weep and mourn because they will know the great loss that they will suffer on that day.

For I will step upon that mount; the earth will crack open. The moon will turn to blood, and I will come through the eastern gate of the city.

The earth will have changed; For the devastation of those days will have changed the appearance of the globe. The great separation will have already begun. For the threshing floor will have separated the sheep from the goats.

For who will stand on that day? You will not be able to stand upon your own strength or wisdom. But my own will shine like the stars in the heavens.

I am trying many of you in this hour so that you will be able to stand on that day. That is why you have gone through many severe and various trials. But woe to those that think that they will be spared from these things. For the church has been fed a lie about these things. Woe to those that think that they will not suffer tribulation. But rejoice to those that know that I will save you "through them."

Many ministries will fall in these days. For many offer another gospel. It is a gospel for those with "itching ears." But my 'true church' will stand on that day. And my kingdom will be an everlasting one where no longer will the days of this life time overshadow them. "

Stephen Hanson

"SO KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH A GREAT DARKNESS IS COMING, THAT MY LIGHT WILL PERMEATE IT ALL"

May 8, 2013

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1

"For in that day the mountains will drip with my glory, says the Lord. For the honey from my presence will spread over the land. No more will a child die of hunger. No more will one wait to be fed. For all will be fed by my Spirit.

So know that even though a great darkness is coming, that my light will permeate it all. For darkness has never understood the light. The light of my glory will be spread throughout the land. For yes, there will be confusion. Yes, there will be tumult, and yes, there will be destruction, for even when the land is ravaged, a people with the light of my glory will go throughout the land and they will lift up the broken-hearted. Those in despair will find hope. The wayward and the lonely will not be left alone. Those with young will find shelter on that day. For even though your land will be invaded, I will cause you to find places of safety within it.

For I will cause you to triumph. I will cause my Spirit to do great feats on that day. For the evil will not win out. Those who have followed after the evil schemes of the enemy will be caught in a snare.

Even when the great earthquake splits this nation in half, many will be found and will be brought to solid ground. But the sounds of the rumblings, will be a sign that the end is close at hand. Flee to those places of safety. Find shelter when you can. Don't let the fear of the multitudes consume you. For there will be a highway, there will be a road that my saints will travel upon. And the light of my glory will show the way. Know that light is greater than darkness. Know that my glory is greater than anything.

Thus would say the Spirit of the Lord."

Stephen Hanson

"I PLANTED A VINEYARD"

May 4, 2013

5 Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: 2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. Isaiah 5

"I sing a song of my beloved. For I planted a vineyard and I hedged it all around. I tended it as the Master Gardener. And the fruit that I saw there was cultivated and made ready to grow. And then I saw that weeds began to grow around what I had planted there. My plantings had begun to be choked out by what was around them. So I watered it round about and gave it my sunlight; and some became tall and green in my kingdom. They overshadowed many of the other plants. And they thought that they were great and exalted themselves in my presence. Then because they thought they were so great they thought that they no longer needed my care and attention. Then their leaves took on another hue. All the other plants noticed these changes in them, but they still desired my care and attention.

I tell you that these plants that have taken on another hue represent many in the church today. For you have thought that you were great and you have been building your own kingdoms. But you don't notice that your fruit is drying up. You don't notice that the ground around you is cracked and needs watering. I will leave you to your own devices since you don't think that you need my care and attention. "

Stephen Hanson

"THE GREATEST BATTLES ARE FOUGHT IN PRAYER"

May 2, 2013

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2 Cor. 10

(I saw in the Spirit a long line of people marching; some of them were playing on drums, some were playing on flutes. They were dressed as they were during the Colonial times with tattered clothes, and uniforms that were worn by soldiers during that era. I saw them marching by me as a long stream winding back into the background. I then saw another figure dressed in a robe which was hooded. He was walking beside them and was handing out something to them. One at a time, each of those marching would pick this up and continue in their marching. The scene changed and then this figure, which was really Jesus, came before a throne and knelt down before it. The light that emanated from the throne was pure white and gold. He knelt before the throne continuing in prayer, and then the vision faded.)

The Lord then said,

"I tell you that you oh America, have had a long period of patriotism. You have fought in many battles. You have become a nation that has won your freedoms. You lifted up your arms for those freedoms in times past. But now it is time to pick up a new weapon. For this weapon is not a tangible one like you've used in the past. This one has to do with faith. Your guns and arsenals will not help you in this hour. For the battles that you are now fighting are not physical ones. So pick up your spiritual arsenal. End the debate about weapons and enter into my throne room, says the Lord. For the ones that I give are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. Otherwise, your divisions in this land will become greater and greater.

So let your causes be one during your prayer times. Your debates are futile, they only end to more divisions. The greatest battles are fought in prayer."

Stephen Hanson

"WOULD THAT YOU WOULD TRUST MY WINGS ON THAT DAY"

4/25/2013

Psalm 91 "He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge. 1 & 4

"During this year the smoke will rise from yet another catastrophe. The plume will fill the air.

Beware of sudden destruction that comes upon you. For this is the beginning of woes. But know that I provide a way out for those who trust in Me. At a time of celebration these things will happen. For I have sent out warning time after time-- I have sent my spirit to some of you to unfold these things.

The first stroke will not be upon the coasts. Woe to those who bury their heads in the sand. Woe to those who say, where is the sign of His Coming? But blessed are you who hear these things and prepare for them--- for you have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Where is safety to be found, you say? We must build a strong fortified wall to save us from these things; We must go into the caves of the earth, we must escape and go to another land.

I say that these things will not save you. For my wings are stronger than anything upon this earth. Would that you would trust them when the day of trouble comes."

Stephen. Hanson

"SEEK ME AT ALL TIMES"

4/20/13
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jer. 29

"The heavens declare your glory. All creation sings praises to you, oh Lord. From the rising of the sun to its going down, I give praises to you Lord.

For even in the midst of the wars; even in the midst of calamities; even in the midst of despair and loss, I the Lord, will carry you through.

For when you sing praises to Me, I Am glorified, but it also causes you to triumph over your circumstances. So, praise Me when you are in the midst of difficulties. Praise Me when you are lost and weary. Praise Me in the midst of your trials. Then your attitude will change. Then you will have a new song in your heart. Then the landscape before you will change.

For that is how you will make it in the days ahead. That is how you will face the dark days ahead. For when others hearts are failing you will have the strength to go on. For when the four horsemen come upon the scene, then you will not be looking at the troubles, but you will be looking at Me.

Does not a bird trust in its nest? Do not those who live in caves have safety within? So also, my wings provide a canopy for you. All nature has a home. They find solace and comfort there. So also, you have a home in Me.

Don't run to another in these dark days, says the Lord. Don't be swayed by others who are fearful. Even though the mountains will roll into the sea, nothing happens without my hand over it.

For surely, the times are rolling up. Surely, all that is written will be sealed-up. Surely, the times are in my hand. Surely, I have watched, and I know of all the calamities that you face. For even when the earth will split, I will be there to warn. I watch over my own as a mother hen watches over her chicks. Don't be swayed by all the things that you see and hear. Don't be swayed by all the stories that you read. For not all conspiracies are true. Some just cause division. Learn a heart of wisdom in these matters.

The greatest thing that you can do during these times is to spend intimate time with Me. Then when danger comes you will not be swayed. Go to your prayer closets. Go seek Me, instead of another. Then you will know what is true and what is not. "

"America"

April 15 evening, 2013

I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom. Isaiah 65

"What has happened to you oh land of the free and home of the brave? For you were once a proud nation. You were once secure and had your freedoms intact, but now you have become besieged. You were once held in honor by many nations. Your children could play in the streets safely, but now they live in fear. For violence has filled every corner. Where once you had dreams, now you wonder what each new day will bring.

You shout out to Me and ask why these things must be? I tell you that your sins have reached such a state that I cannot turn my back on them again.

You've had your martyrs and you've had your wise men. You have those whom you adore; you pay exorbitant amounts of money to those in Hollywood, while many are roaming the streets begging for bread. And yet you say that you are a holy nation! Your children are slaughtered in your schools, and yet you would rather quibble about your rights!

Many of you who call yourselves my followers, would rather quibble about these things than taking care of the poor and needy. I tell you that I can take away all your rights. Do you think that my children in Israel had all their rights when they were marched off to Babylon? But it was in my plan to have them taken there. And they were given their freedom back after their captivity. '

It is so easy for you to talk about your rights. You parade them around like you were a bunch of lawyers! Look at your brothers and sisters around the globe. Many of them worship Me in secret. They don't have ESPN or all the luxuries that you have. And yet they praise Me each and every day!

Learn a heart of wisdom. Be grateful for what you do have. For it can all be taken away from you in a minute."

"YOUR FAITH WILL BE PROVED"

April 13, 2013
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2
"The time is coming when you will truly have to prove your faith. For many have known and have been preparing for the days ahead; but when it finally comes, then you have to 'show" your faith in these things. For truly, faith without works is dead. You can talk about these things on and on, but when they finally come then it will be a different story.

Then those who have known about these days and have been preparing for them, they will not be taken by surprise. But woe to the scoffers; woe to those who have thought that life will go on as it always has. For when trouble comes your house will be swept away. For I have told you to build your house upon the rock. I have told you to not only the hear the words that I say but to put them into practice.

For what does it profit you if you don't put them into practice? What good does it do if you see someone starving and you don't feed them? Your faith is proven by its actions.

In that day many will fall away because of fear. In that day many hearts will fail them. But to those who believe in Me, I will give you strength from above and divine wisdom.

Then those who have had their faith in Me will do great exploits. Signs and wonders like have never been done before, will be displayed. The dead will be resurrected from the grave. You will be transported from place to place; and the enemy, that great serpent from old, will be put to flight.

Let those who hear continue to hear. Let the doubters continue to doubt. For in the end I will separate the sheep from the goats, and the signs will become evident, and as the darkness engulfs the land, my light will penetrate it."

"THERE IS A HUSH BEFORE THE STORM"

4/9/2013

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. Psalm 93:3

"Truly I tell you, this nation will go through its most difficult time in history. For the winds are blowing across the land. There is a stirring happening. There is a hush before the storm.

There is an assembling together of forces. For the land to the east is plotting. But the young leader cannot reach his hand this far yet. But China and Russia will join forces. For in those days ahead when you are most vulnerable, then it will happen.

Watch and wait for those days are coming. When your gaze is directed elsewhere, then you will be taken by surprise. Then the oceans will roar and spread their mighty waves upon the coasts. Then you will reel back and forth like a drunken man. When Spring gives way to Summer and the seasons change once again; when Fall gives way to Winter, and then back to Spring once again......during the new year these things will begin.

For the seasons are at my command. Time as you know it, will take on a new dimension. The hour glass will wane, and those things spoken of by my true prophets will begin to happen. "

"YOU SEE NOT AND YOU HEAR NOT"

April 7, 2013

9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.Isaiah 6

"The wind is blowing across this land. You can hear the sound of it, but you cannot see it, says the Lord. You can hear the sound of my voice speaking to you, but you cannot see my voice.

You have heard about many events that are going on around the world today. You hear about them in the news. You see them played out on your TV screens. You can hear and see about these events from the jungles of Africa to the far reaches of Siberia. You see children starving in Ethiopia, you see a new Pope elected in Rome, and you see the continued political in-fighting in Washington. With all these images before you, you can still not see my Spirit.

You can see the love between a mother and her child. You can see the anguish on a homeless person's face. You can see the birth of a new child. And you can see the wrinkles on an old man's face.

But I tell you, the blind can see more than most of you. The dull of hearing can hear a deeper sorrow and can hear a more profound joy than those who have ears. Truly, you are a people who see not and hear not. And yet, I sent Isaiah to a people like that. Would that you would hear. Would that you would see. Would that the eyes of your hearts would be enlightened. For many children see better than most of you. Would that you would become like a little child. For your reason has kept you from seeing.

For there is a world right in front of your eyes. There are vistas and a land just in front of your reach. For Elisha truly saw into the enemy's camp. Truly, he saw that there were more on his side.

Ask that you would be able to see with my eyes. Ask that you would be able to hear with my ears. Then the world would open-up unto you. Then the doors would open that have long been shut. "

"I TELL YOU THAT THE WATERS WILL NOT OVERTAKE MY PEOPLE"

4/4/13

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2

"I tell you that the waters will not overtake my people, says the Lord. For when the land is 'purged' I will provide a way out for my people. For even though there are great catastrophes coming many will be alerted in advance. For the trumpet will sound and many will escape.

But many will ignore the warning, and they will be left without a rescuer.

I have said that I will not destroy the world by a flood again, but many of my signs during this time will have this used. But the military and the government will not save you on that day. For I will blow a mighty wind across the land on that day, and the waters will recede.

(I was shown the United States again and the land masses had become altered. Where the east coast was, now the coastline had moved inland several hundred miles. Where Texas and the Gulf Coast was, the edges of the coastlines had moved inland, and the water had come into Texas all the way to around where Dallas was on a diagonal line going north to southwest.)

But the land will be forever changed. For where there once was a land mass now there won't be one. For your coastlines will change. The eastern coastline will have moved inland many miles. Texas and the Gulf Coasts' states will have moved inland some 500 miles or more.

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me several candles lit as if they were burning torches. )

But in the midst of this, I have the light from my saints lighting the way. For my people will have the light of my kingdom lit as an ensign to the people. For many will lose hope in that day; many will go after other gods. And when all these things come to their greatest head, then the one will come who promises peace. But peace is far from his heart. Many will be led astray in that day. But you my people will not be led astray, for you will know who he is.

You will not be 'taken out' but you will be given sanctuary. So, know these things are coming. Don't live in fear because of them, but know that I watch over my own. "

"HERALD A TRUE MESSAGE WITH MY TRUMPET"

3/31/13

11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please , and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a trumpet and then out of it came different objects which were blown. At first it looked like parts of flowers and other objects as these were being blown out of the trumpet. Then there was wind and the wind swirled and burst forth out of the trumpet. It was being blown and then there were missiles and rockets coming forth. )

"My word will go out unto the ends of the earth. My word from my "true prophets" will go out like a rocket unto the ends of the earth. For it will be unstoppable. It will be blown as Gabriel's trumpet has been blown.

For the trumpets of some of my prophets have been clogged with the things of this world. And those words will NOT go out unto the ends of the earth. For they don't produce the sound of my kingdom. How can you be ready for battle if you don't hear the sound? But if you herald my message as it should be, then it will warn the people.

Too many itching ears, says the Lord. Too many songs that come from your own hearts. But if you blow the song that I give you, then the walls will come tumbling down. They will come tumbling down just as they did at Jericho. "
