Death of America; Revival of Saints

Four dreams given to Corey Caldwell, 9-01-05
(Dave’s comments in red)

First Dream: I first see these centurion guards standing in front of large gates and as I get closer the gates open and I see hordes of people dressed in pagan/tribal outfits and wearing animal skins on there heads.

The centurion guards represent the revived American/Roman Empire military who are seeking to protect what is increasingly a pagan nation of people who have the mind of the beast.

Many, many people are walking out of this place.

By their walk they are leaving the protection of their military, which they have falsely trusted in.

In the midst of these people is a giant man. The normal people come up to this guys waist. He's huge and very muscular.

This “strong man” is the corporate body of demons that Jesus cast out and bound for the sake of believers. {Lk.11:20} But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. {21} When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: {22} but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. {23} He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

People are all standing next to each other for there is no room. Behind the giant is a HUGE EAGLE laying on its back on a stretcher or gurney. Multitudes of people have this eagle above them carrying this giant thing with their hands taking it somewhere. The eagle is strapped down to this stretcher as if it has been captured. The color of its head is a ruddy brown. This eagle is filled out, in good shape, muscular. It looks like a human by the way it's lying on this stretcher.

America is sick but it still has physical strength which has been captured to be used by the strong man and those in his service to bring all nations into the body of the beast.

As I get closer to the eagle it starts to deteriorate. It gets weaker, skinnier, sickly as it starts to shrink until it finally disappears.

From the perspective of a Christian who sees well, America is very weak and getting weaker in the strength of God.

Second Dream: I see brown bears that are clapping their hands with four long nails on each hand. Three of these bears are sitting on thrones with royal crowns on their heads. They sit on a higher platform than the rest of the standing bears.

The nations that are allied and under Russia are celebrating the gradual fall of America. These nations have weapons that are reaching America like long nails. They are fighting a covert war with America through terrorists, scalar weapons, misinformation to stir up the ignorant, etc. Three of these nations are ruling and assisting the rest to do this work. These are Russia, China, and probably North Korea.

These bears are in a circular room. This looks like a ceremonial room (witchcraft).

They are allies working for Satan.

In the middle of this room is a crystal egg like a prism.

They are bringing the old serpent, dragon kingdom of Rev.12. {Isa.59:4} None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. {5} They hatch adders' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth; and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

Inside this prism are four floating witches/goddess-type things with hands joined around a red ruby/amethyst stone that has a gold covering around it being held up by a reptilian green hand which has three claws (the one world order, Satanic, dragon kingdom) holding the red ruby stone (the witches on the inside of the egg are also chanting (witchcraft is rebellion and great rebellion is about to be released). Behind the normal bears are human children with no parents around, standing and trying to see what's going on but can't because of the bears.

The people of the world are the fatherless because their father, Satan, is dead. These people are in darkness and do not know what is really happening in the world. Our Father lives and shows us the truth.

After these 2 dreams I woke up at 4:20.

Third Dream: I see a myriad of giant crystals which are glowing of every different shade of the rainbow. It looked similar to the northern lights of Alaska.

This new world order will bring persecution and revival. The saints will bring forth Jesus who is the light. The saints are like crystals reflecting the seven bands of light. This represents the seven attributes of Christ like Joseph's coat of many colors. All seven virtues are obtained through faith in God's promises. {2 Pet.1:4} whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust. {5} Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence in your faith, supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge; {6} and in [your] knowledge self-control; and in [your] self-control patience; and in [your] patience godliness; {7} and in [your] godliness brotherly kindness; and in [your] brotherly kindness love. {8} For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. {Pr.9:1} Wisdom hath builded her house; She hath hewn out her seven pillars.

Then I see two hands release a dove that is fluttering its wings.

The outpouring of the Latter Rain of the Spirit on true disciples.

Next the scene changes to dark and death. The two hands now grab a baby/miniature all-black, dead eagle. The hands proceed to take this dead eagle to itself into this grave.

The eagle will persecute the saints and will go to its own place.

The scene changes again to a white naked man on a cross in a sea.

As in Revelation, the sea represents the peoples of the world. The body of Christ will be crucified in the midst of and by the peoples of the world.

The cross shoots up to the standing position and the man breaks free off the cross and goes forward toward the water but before the man gets to the water the cross grabs him back and then both fall forward into the water, sinking.

Some will seek to avoid their cross and save their old lives but by the grace of God it will not be permitted. We shall be hated of all nations for Jesus' name to be manifested in us. {Mt.16:24} Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. {25} For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. {26} For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life? The old man must die in the tribulations to come so that the new man can live.

Then the man juts out of the water with no cross on him, free again, swimming endlessly in the water.

Those who die to self will be free in God to minister to the world.

After this dream I woke up at 4:44 which added together gives a 12.

444 = the gematria in “The Word” (Jn.1:14). Also the "washing of water by the Word" is what puts to death the old man as in the symbol of baptism.

The time in between the dreams is 24 minutes. A couple 24s and a 12.

If you add up the numbers in 4:44 and 4:20 when I had the dream, you get 18 or 666 -- judgment on wicked?

The date today is 9-1-05. Add these together you get 15 or 555 -- grace to the saints?

In the second dream there are two 4s (2x4=8, Jesus) and two 3s (2x3=6, Satan).

Forth Dream 9-3-05: This is interesting. I was shown the faces of these normal size people in dream one or possibly people that came after the hordes of people in that dream. These people were sprinting out of the same place that I saw in that dream. Before these people were walking in that dream. Their faces were all painted like the faces of KISS band members: painted up like demons. I also know that KISS stands for "Knights in Satan’s Service." (Even though God in this dream uses the widely held belief that the rock band's acronym, KISS, represents "Knights in Satan's Service," this proved to be a rumor that the band did not discourage.)

The more demon possessed the people of America become the faster they are departing from the place where the military can protect them.

After seeing these people rush out of their place I then saw the Oscar award standing tall. The Oscar award then fell forward and crashed, but when it crashed it turned into a glowing frog or glowing alligator. More like a spiritual form (it was void looking with a glowing outline) that was glowing not looking like a physical frog or alligator. I'm not sure if it changed into a frog and then an alligator. All I know is I saw both a frog and an alligator but it was all one spiritual creature.

The Hollywood crowd that is esteemed by the world will be seen as the demon-possessed people they are in leading the world into sin. They are like frogs, which represent demons that lead the world to destruction. {Rev.16:13} And I saw [coming] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: {14} for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. They do anything for the gold and admiration that the Oscar represents. They are like Leviathan devouring mankind in the waters. For this God will judge them mightily. No doubt He will use terrorists and/or earthquakes to do it.

I have been seeing 9:11, 6:11, 11:09, 1:19, etc., for at least the last three weeks. I prayed that God would show what these mean. I don't know if these numbers deal with the dream or not but probably have some significance to them.

Notice that the numbers 9-11 are in all of these in some way. This could indicate 9-11-05. I believe this will be the beginning of this series of dreams.

Starting with Hurricane Katrina, the eagle is dying and slowly getting skinnier, sicklier and smaller. Could that mean pestilence, sword, famine?

I think that this is true. America is getting sicker and weaker in the world as it distances itself from the kingdom and God judges it with all methods.

The pagan horde of people I think are those from the bottomless pit being released with the giant as the leader or the giant being a stronghold.

KISS represents demon-possessed people in Satan's service. The strong man is the corporate body of demons that rule them.

Destruction of West Coast of North America

Joshua Taylor

Seven Open Visions-

Feb. 1988, Bangs, Texas - as seen by Joshua Taylor - First recorded from Memory, Sept. 15th, 1993, Jasper, Arkansas.

Prelude: Before sharing these visions, I feel led of the Lord to relate certain background information relevant to the comprehension and understanding of what shortly is to befall not only America, but Canada as well.

Up to this point in my spiritual walk, I had not experienced any open visions whatsoever, although the Holy Spirit had revealed various inner visions and other supernatural experiences needed for spiritual growth. Ever since my initial conversion in a conservative Christian Church in Regina, Saskatchewan in May of 1975, looking back, God surely had His hand upon my life. For the first six years, I listened and intensively studied the foundational teachings of the Word.

From 1981 until 1987, the Lord led me on various missionary journeys across my own country. During this second set of six years, God set me free from previous traditional bondage's, and set my feet on higher ground through a greater revelation of His Word. Above all, through my nomadic lifestyle, the Lord taught me to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

It was toward the end of this second phase, in 1985, while attending a spirit-filled summer camp in Rock Lake, Manitoba that the Angel of the Lord first appeared to me. Unknowingly, God was preparing my soul to enter into the final stage of preparation. It was Gabriel who also appeared twice in these seven open visions. Up until this time, I knew in my spirit that the Lord had a call upon my life to serve Him. It was not until Christmas of 1988, that God revealed through the five-fold ministry, that I was not only called, but a chosen vessel as well. Chosen by His mercy! It was during this third set of six years, from 1988 until the spring of this year of 1993, that the Lord stripped me of all things allowing Satan to prove me that I might learn to be faithful. During this time in the wilderness, the Spirit of the Lord led me to seven springs of 'living waters' where I received various aspects of the deeper things of God. All seven of these 'Trumpet' ministries were formerly birthed out of the 1948 revival. After 18 years of preparation and testing, the Spirit of God anointed my feet to go forth to preach and to minister His word and power of deliverance. In my spirit, I know that these seven open visions will shortly come to pass. And when they do, America will be shaken as the great and terrible 'Day of the Lord' is ushered in! Although many details of my testimony have been purposely left out, I pray that what God has allowed me to reveal will set a foundation in which to better comprehend these seven open visions. May God receive all the glory and honor. Let each one lift Jesus higher, that the light of Christ will shine forth in newness of life. As of this moment, I had not previously recorded these visions given over five and one half years ago. A few details may be lost, but in the intensity in which I received this visitation of the Spirit of God will forever remain.

Update to Feb. 1988 After having resided for a season in Texas within a spirit-filled community, I was in the process of saying my farewells prior to departing back up into my own country, when the 'Spirit of the Lord' fell on me as it did Ezekiel. The home of the elderly sister whom I had the privilege to help build, was still a shell on the inside with sheets for walls. Early that morning in Feb. of 1988, I awoke at approximately ten minutes to six to use the restroom. My mind was yet half asleep as I felt my way back to bed in the pre-dawn darkness. There was no indication that God was about to move to open up the windows of heaven, to pour out seven open visions lasting for 45 minutes. These visions would not only affect my life in times to come, but would affect all of North America! It was precisely six a.m. as I lay back down on the davenport. To me, this was just another morning. Nothing unusual. As my body touched the bed, I instantly became slain as the Spirit of God came in like a wave with such force, that it caused my body to roll over on its right side! Unable to speak, or to move or even to think, with my eyes wide open, the Lord took my soul into a future time and place. God had not just opened a door that I might witness with the eyes of the Spirit of things to come, but He also quickened all my natural as well as spiritual senses of perception. I lived and breathed and felt all that was in and around me. Seven times the Spirit of the Lord came in like a mighty wave, causing my body to rollover from one side and then to the other. Each time one vision ended, another began. For a full year after having these seven open visions, I had to learn to live with what God had revealed in order to retain my own sanity and frame of mind.

VISION # 1 - In the vision, I had returned to Texas to fellowship with the brethren I had previously become acquainted with. For no apparent reason, God cut my visit short and opened up a door to return back to my own country. It was imperative to leave immediately! The next morning I remember boarding the ferry in Port Angeles just outside of Seattle for Victoria, British Columbia. I remember being very solemn as if I already knew beforehand what was to take place on this particular mission. The passage itself seemed to be in the cool of the year where a light jacket had to be worn. There was no indication of snow being on the ground or in the air. In my spirit it seemed to be about five a.m. The sun had not yet come up above the horizon. As to what season it was, it could have been early spring or late fall.

VISION # 2 - As the Spirit of the Lord came in for a second time, the force of it pushed me yet into another vision. Turning over on my left side, I could see myself leaving the ferry terminal. There was quickness in my walk. After what seemed to be five minutes or so, I remember entering the front doors of a newspaper office in the downtown part of the city. To the right of the counter in front of me, the wall clock showed the time to be twenty-five minutes past eight in the morning. The office staff seemed to be half asleep as if they just returned after having the weekend off. Two or three of the staff still had cups of coffee in their hands. Standing to the left side of the front counter, with my back to the street entrance, I remember being dressed in black with a large staff in my right hand. In the spirit, I could perceive them mocking me, as God had me to speak forth a warning to evacuate the west side of Vancouver Island. An earthquake measuring approximately 7.4 would hit twenty miles west of Victoria, causing a six foot tidal wave to come inland. I said that God's mercy would be in it, and that minimal damage would occur if the news media would warn the public to take the necessary precautions. The Lord had me to make it very clear that this particular earthquake, was a final warning in that the next quake would destroy all life along the west coast of North America! Later that afternoon, I found myself back in the same office. Standing there in silence, I simply waited for the hand of God to move. It was a few minutes before two-thirty when I glanced up at the wall clock. Suddenly everything became quiet and deathly still! Even the birds stopped singing, sensing what was about to happen. Within moments, the silence was broken when every phone in the office began to ring off the hook. A six foot tidal wave had been sighted heading eastward towards the city resulting from a 7.4 earthquake twenty miles out in the Pacific. It was not until recently that I realized that severe damage must have occurred knocking out transportation on the west side of the island.

VISION # 3 - Again the vision ended as suddenly as it began. Panic had already begun to sweep over the island as people prepared to evacuate their homes for the safety of the mainland. The roads leading to the east side of the island were rapidly being jammed with traffic. It was somewhere during this time, that I met a fellow believer in the Lord who helped me get to the Nanaimo ferry terminal. Hundreds were in the process of leaving for the mainland heading for Vancouver. I remember telling this brother to transfer all his financial assets 'off the island,' in and around the Hope area.. Otherwise he would lose everything to destruction. This man was extremely wealthy, and believed the word of the Lord. In the Spirit, I was lifted high above the Nanaimo terminal, and could see two and three lines of traffic had already backed up for what looked to be two or three miles in length. Extra ferries had to be called in to handle the enormous increase in both vehicle and foot traffic.

VISION # 4 - For the fourth time, the Spirit of the Lord came in like a wave and forced my body onto the opposite side. The scene of the vision changed, and I was once again back in my body. This time I found myself on the top rear deck of a ferry preparing to leave port. As I stood with many others on the rear of the passenger deck, I could see the boarding ramp, 'the walk ramp,' being raised up for departure. It was at this very moment that I instinctively turned to the south side of the ferry. The water in the harbor began to boil with much activity, as a huge forty-five to fifty-foot dinosaur suddenly stood up out of the water!!! The front claws of this huge prehistoric creature was no more that ten feet off the rear of the deck. His gigantic head was as big as a medium-sized car, with teeth that looked to be nearly two feet in length. I was close enough to feel the heat of its breath as it looked down at the people on the rear of the deck. Many on board the back part of the vessel were killed by massive heart attacks due to the fear of the creature that apparently was pushed up from the quake. Everyone except for myself was stunned and severely in shock at what was taking place. Walking up to this flesh eater, I began to communicate with it. Almost able to touch its claws, I told him that he had done a good job, and to turn around and to go back into the water. This giant could have easily damaged the ferry. Its great size was almost beyond belief!

VISION # 5 - For the fifth time the scene of the vision changed, and I found myself at the Horseshoe Bay terminal. The ferry was just pulling into port. It was apparent that news had already reached the mainland as there was much activity in and around the area. As the ferry backed up into the docking zone, I could see that many major news networks had jammed around the pre-boarding gates. ABC, NBC, CTC, all the big ones. For some strange reason, they were looking to me for answers. As I began to say something, the Spirit of the lord took me over. Still dressed in black and with a staff in my right hand, a major prophetic warning went out of my mouth for all people to evacuate the West Coast. Those who refused to heed this warning would not be spared. This was God's mercy not only to His own, but to all who would listen to His voice. This destruction that was foretold, was God's judgment upon the evil and unrighteousness not only in the Vancouver area, but south to Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Mexico, and on down to the southern tip of Argentina. God was angry, and was about to shake all the west coast beginning in Alaska. It was at this point in the vision, that the arc-angel Gabriel suddenly appeared on my right-hand side, and asked me: "Where can my people go?" In answer to His question, I pointed up North to a remote area outside the Prince George area. In the vision, I handed the Angel of the Lord a long white tube that held the blueprints for survival. At the time of the visions, the Holy Spirit had just begun to reveal these plans for the survival of God's people. It was not until the spring of 1993, that the first phase of these survival plans were completed.

VISION # 6 - For the sixth time, the scene of the vision changed, and I found myself lifted up in the Spirit on the west side of Hope. From this vantage point high above the earth, I could see many cars, trucks, trailers, etc., loaded down with all that they could carry, heading for the northern part of the province. It looked as if 10,000 vehicles or 10, 000 people had heeded this warning to flee the Vancouver area, that they might escape the judgment of God. In the Spirit, it felt as if seven to ten days had elapsed since the warning had been carried by the major news networks. At this point in the vision, I found myself back in by body, standing on the west side of Hope near the highway heading towards Vancouver. For the second time during these visions, the Angel of the Lord appeared on my right hand. Still dressed in black, Gabriel commanded me to take my staff, and to speak forth a major destructive earthquake out in the Pacific. As I did, and as my staff hit the ground, this awesome earthquake immediately took place. Although I did not see the earthquake, I did see the catastrophic tidal wave that stood up out of the water and began making its way towards the mainland. In the Spirit, I knew it was to be a quarter mile high. It washed over the mountains on Vancouver Island as if they were not even there. Within minutes, I watched as this gigantic wave of destruction hit Vancouver and the lower mainland. I saw the faces of three million men, women, and children perish with nowhere to run!!! There were no survivors within 40 miles of the coast. Burnaby, Port Moody, and the other surrounding districts of the lower mainland along with the city of Vancouver no longer existed. Even 90 miles inland, as I stood alongside the highway, water from the tidal wave forced its way up the Fraser River and touched my feet!!

VISION # 7 - For the last time the scene of the vision changed, as the wave of the Spirit of God forced me on my opposite side. God allowed me to feel what it was like if Canada was a living person. It was as if a leg or and arm had been cut off, leaving that person severely crippled. God had brought Canada to her knees in a matter of moments. No longer was she whole!! Judgment had come swiftly, and without mercy for those who disobeyed Hs warning to flee to safety. In my spirit I knew that much of the Alaskan and Californian coast had also been destroyed. Shortly thereafter, word had got out about me speaking this judgment against the west coast. In the vision, I was being blamed for all the destruction and forced to flee my own country. The brother whom I had told to transfer his assets inland, flew me across the border in his private jet. In the Spirit, I could feel the persecution and the hatred towards God's people. The denominational church was in shock as the so-called rapture teaching had not happened to save His people from the wrath of God!! Persecution began to rise up within the cities, forcing many of God's people into the country for survival. In my spirit, I felt as if the 'Great and Terrible Day of the Lord' had finally come upon the would, and the church people who called themselves born-again believers were caught in a snare!!! As fast as the visitation came upon me, it left. Looking at the clock on the sill of the window, it was approximately 6:45 a.m.

END OF VISION!!!

Concerning the Wrath of God upon the West Coast, no year was given, although certain 'signs' were encoded within the visions themselves.

Seasonal Indicators

As I boarded ferry in Port Angeles to go to Victoria, I intuitively knew it "to be 5:00 A.M."

As the ferry was pulling into port in Vancouver, the sun was setting upon the city in and around 9 o'clock. This would indicate that we were "shortly before the longest day of the year," and that there was "but a short space of time to leave the lower mainland!"

The water in Port Angeles was cold enough to have ice crystals upon it wherein a fall type jacket or sweater had to be worn. Although the rising of the sun indicated late spring or early summer, the mornings were abnormally cold, while daytime temperatures were quite mild. These two indicators would suggest a "climate change' wherein extreme temperature differences between night and day.

A third seasonal indicator while speaking for the warning in the newspaper office in Victoria, was that the "birds were singing and the trees were full of fresh leaves."

Economic Indicators

It was apparent that "those who had money or the rich and middle class," were not spending! Money was tight and nobody was selling their homes hoping that conditions would improve. The nation was in a time of recession about "to be thrown into a global depression!"

In the visions, I was carrying cash, in particular US currency. "Cash was still king!"

Just as the evacuation of Vancouver Island was under way, while still in Victoria, I suggested by the Word of the Lord for a particular Believer who was extremely wealthy, "to immediately transfer his assets to the mainland." This would indicate, that "banks were still operational" and had not closed their doors pending a national and global depression.

Upon entering into Canada, "the National Identification Card had not yet been forced upon the citizenship of this country."

Canada was "severely crippled economically" by the destruction, bringing the nation into a state of "emergency and economic collapse!" "World-wide depression had come upon North America!"

Prophetic Indicators

As the visions ended, it was strongly evident in my spirit, that "the Great and notable Day or the Lord" was "fully ushered in!"

After the tidal wave hit and destroyed the West Coast, in particular Vancouver and Vancouver Island, word was out that I was "to blame for the destruction" and God had to make a way for my escape.

Within 24 hours of the destruction upon the West Coast, "I knew that a decree was given against all true believers, and that great persecution had begun."

This above declaration, I knew was made by the so-called "Antichrist" fore spoken in the Book of Revelations.

"While in the Spirit" high above Departure Bay in Naniamo, I looked upon the hearts of the people, and if there was a "revival," there was no longer any trace of one.

With the ushering in of "the Kingdom of God", also came the ushering in of the "Kingdom of Darkness" as foretold in Mathew 24!

"The 10, 000 fleeing into the wilderness", fully prepared in advance to start anew, strongly infers that "a remnant was spared and went into a place prepared by the Lord" according to Rev. 12.

This "Great exodus of Souls," could not have happened if there was not "sufficient warning for them to get ready."

The "beast rising out of the ocean" indicated that the "Beast of Revelations was about to rise up out of the sea of humanity!"

Because God did not remove the Christian out of this great judgment, "the Christians themselves were greatly perplexed, and knew that they had been caught in a snare!"

Immediately after the destruction of the West Coast of North America, "great persecution arose against the true Believers in Jesus Christ!

From all the above indicators, "we were yet in the time of the four horsemen!" where the Day of God's wrath is being ushered! The time of the Antichrist is at the same time "being ushered in at this time," just prior to the Man of Sin revealing himself "in name and number!" If so, "we are only years away from the time of great persecution against both believing Jews and Christians world wide!"

Personal indicators

Prior to returning back to my own country, "the Lord commissioned me with a prophetic mantle" by the hands of an older prophet in Texas, to carry out His commission of warning and judgment.

This "man of God, gave me a set of his clothes, and a large staff to speak God's word. He laid his hands upon me, and spoke God's blessings upon my life, and sent me forth in the name of the Lord."

In the visions, I was "walking in an unction of the fullness of the Holy Ghost. All spiritual senses were no longer in part, and the fear of the Lord was strong upon me."

In the visions, "the plans concerning the survival of God's people were fully complete, and handed to the Angel of the Lord!"

Physical indicators

As the first vision begun to unfold, I knew that "a major volcanic eruption was in the process" or "had just happened!" Maybe Mt. Rainer!

In the newspaper office in Victoria, great fear gripped the hearts of the women working there when I appeared in the front office. "It was apparent that I was not a stranger," that the media had been "previously aware" of my personal endeavors "in bringing forth earthquake awareness!"

By the expression on the faces of the office workers, it seemed that an "major earthquake had already occurred on the Island in excess of seven points."

In bringing forth the warning, the word of the Lord indicated that the earthquake would result in "a six foot tidal wave," and that "all vessels on the West Side were to be evacuated!"

The warning quake would "be a mercy quake," before a total destructive quake to follow!

The ferry that I was standing on in the vision, had both a "walk deck" that allowed passengers to cross over to the opposite side without having to go inside of the vessel. This particular ferry was different from the ones now in operation in Naniamo, and may be one of the super-class ferries used between Victoria and the mainland. Where I was standing in the vision, I could see the "bridge of the ship," and the fact that it "backed into Horseshoe Bay," would indicate this particular ferry class. In the Spirit, I knew that the Victoria ferry terminal was no longer operational!

Door into First-Fruits Closing

Man-child Ministry About to Start

Amos Scaggs 3-29-06

The Man-Child is at the verge of coming forth. He will come forth soon. I saw that there were minor adjustments being made; a couple that were being helped or tutored. They were young but mature people that were in different areas, but of the same body, waiting to be sent forth.

I took this to mean the Man-child will minister on Earth soon. I think that the preparations the people have made in order to be part of the Man-Child ministry will enable them to be anointed and sent forth at the same time to minister to the people.

False King - True King

Prophecy through Rex Veron - 7-31-06

(David's Notes in Red)

"At harvest time (tribulation) the people will seek a king; I will give him to her (harlot) whereby she might be deceived and the true wheat come forth from her. As in days of old..............first the king they lusted for (Saul) which was a deceiver then the man of God after My heart (David). Shall he not come forth in power. That which was first shall be last and that which is last shall be first."

(As with Constantine, the UN has raised up a Saul leadership in the United Religions that will rule the harlot in the tribulation but as it was in the time of Jesus the throne of David will rule the true wheat.

Caesar enrolled all the world in a covenant and the people of God under Herod and then the man-child Jesus was born for the falling and rising of many (Lk.2:1-7, 34). Each of these characters will be fulfilled in our day in corporate bodies. See the book Hidden Manna.)

Door to Revelations About to Open

Amos Scaggs - 1-15-06 - (David's notes in red)

I felt this was urgent and pending now. In a vision I was working on a big garage door in a building like nothing I had ever seen. I had installed the side rails and all that had to be done was to install the front SPRING rails which were laying there..

(In the vision I saw the door to Revelation 6 is about to SPRING Open. As a play on words this also could mean in the SPRING time of the year the door would open. Every thing is in place on the world scene for this to happen.)

(Note from David: This spring a war could come that would be the door that would cause the world to make the covenant that opens the first seal in Rev.6 of the tribulation.)

I could hear the conversations of people in the spirit for miles away saying, “I would like to take part in the Revelator," which was a live drama play theater. But they were too busy at their jobs to take part. I knew that these people supported and participated in the churches but would not make it to Heaven.

(Note from David: Jesus is the Revelator and only those who come out of the worldly Church and abide in Him will enter the kingdom.)

In the next scene I saw that the doors to an old house on a hill were left open, unattended, and nothing was stolen or touched. Strangers were gathering around the house. There were fresh fruit of all kinds stored up in the house. It was sparkling clean and fresh. I had never seen any that fresh before. (Must be the most recent fruit of the Revelation of the Word.) All you had to do was reach down, pick it up and eat. Some fruit didn’t taste very good in the flesh but it was good for you in the Spirit. (G-d will provide the Fruit of the Spirit for the people who eat at “His House”).

(Note from David: The old house is the original house that apostate Christianity departed from. (Jude1:3) Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. ... (5) Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Only those who partake of the pure, fresh, fruit of the original house will enter the kingdom. {1 Jn.2:6} he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. ... {24} As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. {25} And this is the promise which he promised us, [even] the life eternal.)

Dreams of Missile Attacks on U.S.

Erin from Chile 6/21/05

Just 2 weeks ago I had 2 dreams about missiles hitting the US. In the first dream I was just in a completely dark place and I was looking towards the United States (I'm in Chile). In front of me I saw a great city, (I thought NY at the time but who knows...). All of a sudden I saw a light streaking across the sky and go down into the city. Then there was a huge explosion and the entire city was flattened. Just gone, nothing remaining.

In the second dream, in the same week, I dreamed again about a similar event. This time I was again in a dark place but looking at a large map of the world on a wall. It covered the entire wall and reminded me of something that you might see in a NASA building or something (like a giant computer screen but on a wall). I was standing there looking at this map when I saw 3 missiles going toward the US again. I stood there and watched as 2 hit cities on the east coast and one went out to the west somewhere. I was certain that one city was NY but the other east coast city I wasn't sure -- but it was to the south.

Also, in that same week of the missile dreams, I dreamed twice (again twice) about terrible earthquakes. As you know, last week there was a devastating earthquake here in the north of Chile, followed by another one the next day in the south of Chile and then 2 or 3 in California, Alaska and Japan. In my dream, I knew that the earthquake would be here in Chile. I thought perhaps here in Santiago, but it was in the north instead. I pray that my dream of the missiles is only that.... a dream.

Earth / Asteroid Collision Coming?

East Coast Tsunami?

Cal Bright

www.kosmosltd.net

4 days before the hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans I had a dream I was on the steps of an unfamiliar building in a city I did not recognize. Suddenly what appeared to be seawater poured into the area. It was about four feet deep and flooding rapidly. Last night I had another dream. I believe I was in town at the local High School. There is a baseball field there and the school is up the hill a bit. In the dream it appeared a bit different than it does now. I noticed there were people up the hill in strange looking dark gray or black uniforms scattered about. People had gathered there for some sort of event I assume. Just as I made a comment to someone standing next to me about the uniforms, “at least they aren’t the same old Nazi uniforms they used in world war two," a wave of water came in from the southeast; it was about a twenty to thirty footer and crashed over the playing field. Something made me turn around. As I looked around a wave close to 200 feet high was engulfing us from the east. As it passed over we were all under water. However, the water was full of people, many more than from our town. There were literally so many people in the water I could not swim to the surface for the people. I then woke up and prayed to remember the dream and for interpretation and then went back to sleep.

This is what I believe it means: First we (N. Florida) will have a storm surge of 20 to 30 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. It will be followed by a tsunami of around 200 feet on the eastern seaboard. Not many people will drown in the first because in the dream I saw many people evading the first and smaller wall of water. However, when the second larger wall of water comes thousands, maybe millions, will drown, because in the dream the water was literally full of people. It appears this will happen when we see people in those strange uniforms. I feel the second wave may relate to these verses:

{Rev.8:8} And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; {8:9} and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, [even] they that had life; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

Three Meteor Dream
Bob Aicardi - 6/17/04

I was standing outside in a large gathering of people such as would gather on the 4th of July. The place where I was standing appeared to be near the steps of a courthouse...typical of any found in small town America. The sky that day was sunny blue with patchy clouds. In the sky suddenly appeared (3) large meteors each white hot like a large snowball. In the distance it appeared the meteors had what at first appeared to be like a softball or volley ball with threads. Suddenly the people saw that meteors as they streaked into view The meteors began to drop from the sky below the clouds toward the earth. As the meteors came close and passed overhead I commented that these meteors looked like the fist of God. The three meteors overshot the city I was in and continued eastward toward the Atlantic. The (3) meteor then continued on striking the earth in the distance. Two fell into the oceans the 3rd one struck nearby land. The people began to panic and run into the courthouse which I felt was foolish and futile considering the size of the meteor being so enormous.

From Visions of Coming Calamities
By Roxanne Bryant

"Late one afternoon in early September I was relaxing after a hard day’s work, thinking about business details, when the Holy Spirit came upon me and opened my eyes to see what was to come in these next few years. First, I saw a very clear picture of Florida. The southern two-thirds of the state was baked dry in the sun and in a state of severe drought. But I saw clouds filled with rain move down and gently drop their moisture over the northeast corner of Florida, exactly in the location where I had bought the land. Then, I sensed that something awesome was about to happen to the southern half of Florida, and as I shifted my gaze southward, the most eerie and incredible thing I have ever witnessed then occurred. The ocean, like a giant monster rose silently and calmly and began to move across the land. It moved miles inland, flooding everything in its path. Later when it moved back, the drought continued and the sun baked the ocean salt into the land. I knew the area where I bought land in northern Florida would be protected and watered by God, and certain areas where God led other Christians to buy land and farm would also be protected. But most of the country and world would be under the supernatural siege of God with ever increasing and worsening droughts, flooding, earthquakes, storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, pestilence, etc. I knew that because of these natural judgments of God that many crops would fail and millions of people in different places of the United States and the world would be starving. It is not a pretty picture and is therefore very difficult for me to talk about, but I saw millions of people starving and trying to find edible roots and grasses to eat. I saw presidents of corporations reduced to nothing except their homes and the food in their cupboards. One man was trying to warm watery soup for his family on a fire in his backyard."

From Mark's Dreams:

"In this dream a huge mass of destruction was creeping over Florida going north. You could not actually see it, but all the population knew it was coming and were being evacuated on large shuttles which would hold a few hundred people each. (None of the other people in the dream seemed to be Christians.) I was telling an Asian woman with children and a black man that they could take our family's place because we were not going where everyone else was going. I noticed that at any moment the great masses of people were going to realize that they were not going to make the shuttles in time to escape what was going to happen. Then there would be total chaos because they would soon all die. I do not know exactly where we (our family) were going, but it was a different place (see *note) than the shuttle transports, and it was not very far. I told my wife that the hardest part would be finding water for the 70 something days [God's people were in bondage in Babylon for 70 years before it was destroyed and they were set free]. Somehow I knew we would be all right; nevertheless, I dreaded going through it. The country-side we would be surviving in looked lifeless and dry like a desert or the remnants of a nuclear blast (not necessarily resulting from a nuclear bomb but from a giant wave of destruction)."

The Beginning of Pain

May 25, 1997 * Virginia Boldea (daughter of Dumitru Duduman and mother of Michael Boldea, Dumitru's interpreter.)

It was not a dream. It was late. I am sure it was past midnight on the 25th of May, and I had just returned from a hard day's work. First I had gone to a few villages to give help. Afterwards, I began praying for a few hours. I lay in my bed listening to a prophecy I had received.

Suddenly, I began to see even though my eyes were shut. I saw an immense flower garden. The flowers were as tall as a man with a healthy stem, but the buds were blue and bent forward. Every flower only had one bud. A cloud suddenly appeared near the garden and it appeared to be very close to the ground.

A man dressed in white stood on the cloud. He was slightly taller than a normal man and in his hand he had a trumpet in which he began to blow. The sounds that came out of this trumpet would turn letters which would then turn into words in the sky and then ignite, burning up the heavens. I did not understand the writing because it was an unknown tongue. I did, however, recognize that it was in Hebrew.

There were a handful of comets in the sky which looked to be peaceful. Suddenly three of them, all different sizes, began to head toward the earth. When they hit the ground, there was total devastation. As I looked up, the sky turned black and I saw thunder. The thunder was also black. A dark cloud lifted up and it began to rain. When I looked closer I saw that it was not rain but drops of blood.

As I looked to my left, I saw another man standing on another cloud. He was very tall, dresses in white, with his hands raised high. Each time he moved his hands, fireballs would come out of his fingers. I looked, awestruck, at the man's height and the way his face shown and radiated. Then a powerful voice said: "Remember what I have shown you. This will be the beginning of the pain that I will allow upon the earth." He repeated this phrase again, after which he spoke to me: "You prepare yourself, be strong, and draw close to me with fasting and prayer for I will come to show you things more terrifying than these." Then everything disappeared.

Summary of what is thought about this Asteroid Event
Stephen Bening

In all of my more than ten years since the Lord spoke to me and sent me as a prophet to the nations, after the order of Jeremiah, I have not seen such a situation develop as has taken shape during the last two weeks, concerning the prophesied “Three Asteroid/Comet? event.

I feel the need to pull all of the information together, because it seems that each prophetic witness received some pieces of the puzzle that are unique, and some are confirming of what others received. Some are different in ways that puzzle me.

This is what the prophets are saying:

1) This event will be the first event: “This will be the beginning of the pain that I will allow upon the earth."-Virginia Boldea

2) When God begins to allow trouble to the United States, it will sweep the nation from East to West.-Mark Meyers

3) This 3 Asteroid/Comet event will occur before the earthquake that is to occur in the Midwest that will create a great lake that will divide the USA, as has been previously prophesied by Timothy Snodgrass and Stephen L. Bening-Ann Peterson

4) This 3 asteroid/comet event will be heralded by a final warning that will commence with simultaneous, identical dreams of warning that will be received by many, beginning at 2 A.M.(7 A.M. GMT)-Bob Neumann, Stephen L. Bening, Megan M. Bening

5) North Carolina will be inundated as far West as Morganton, at a distance of 200 miles inland, and at an elevation of 1160 feet.-Bob Neumann. The ocean will intrude as far as Gwinnett County, Georgia (Just Southeast of Atlanta) at an elevation of 1080 feet, and at a distance of 225 miles inland.-Ruby Golden

6) Florida homes will be covered by waves that will be higher than the rooftops.-Billie London

7) Key West, FL will be destroyed by Tsunami.-Dan Bohler

8) There will be three asteroid/comet impacts-Bob Neumann, John Lallier, Megan M. Bening, Ann Peterson, Virginia Boldea (she says they hit the ground), Gloria Lopez, Joanna Bening. (Stephen Bening comment on Boldea-she said, "when they hit the ground, there was total devastation". She never said she saw them hit the ground, as in hard Earth. She may have been using the word "ground" in a general sense, to refer to the horizon.)

9) Augusta, GA will suffer terrible flooding-Dan Bohler

10) New Orleans, LA will suffer terrible flooding-Dan Bohler

11) Florida will be entirely covered with water as far North as approximately Orlando-John Lallier, Ann Peterson. Nita Johnson saw a map in a vision where Florida and the East Coast of the USA had disappeared several hundred miles inland, and the Coastal area of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi had disappeared inland by about 50 miles. Jim McCants saw, in a vision, that all of Florida had disappeared.

12) The general populace will be warned on Television at 6 P.M. The first warning will be by CNN. The next warning will come from the Pentagon. The area of evacuation will be said to be from Key West, FL to Plymouth Rock, MA-Bob Neumann

13) The impact of the three asteroids will occur at 10 P.M.-Bob Neumann

14) Two asteroid/comets will hit in the Atlantic, one will hit in the Gulf Of Mexico. Of the two Atlantic impacts, one will hit further out, off North Carolina, the other will hit off the East Coast of Florida.-Bob Neumann, Ann Peterson, Gloria Lopez

15) Christians will escape this event, having heeded warnings. The Lord will take care of His servants.-Bob Neumann, John Lallier, Ann Peterson, Stephen L. Bening

16) The last revival to sweep the United States will come out of Florida-Marlin Simon (1991)

17) This asteroid impact and flood will fling revival out of South Florida, and we will preach as a team throughout the Midwest states of the United States, until we are warned to flee from the great New Madrid earthquake that is to come. Florida is the gate of the United States, and events that control her destiny will commence here. We have been warned so that we can preach, and be a witness to those who will suffer next in the Midwest. After that, we will proceed to the West Coast and warn those in California that they are next, and that they must repent and turn to God.-Stephen L. Bening

18) I-95 will be a deathtrap. Do not flee using that route.-Ann Peterson

19) This event will trigger martial law, with military crackdowns in the USA-John Lallier

20) The electric power grid will fail in the entire lower 48 states of the USA for an indeterminate time-Bob Neumann

21) This event appears to be connected with the arrival of a large brown asteroid into the solar system.-John Lallier

22) Several prophets are saying this event is set, and is certain to occur and will not be cancelled for mercy sake alone-Billie London, John Lallier

23) There will only be two warnings: the prophetic warnings and the simultaneous, identical dreams that are given by the Lord 20 hours prior to impact.-Bob Neumann, Ann Peterson

24) Those who wait to see the asteroids with their physical eyes will perish if they live in the zones of destruction. The prophecies and the dreams must be heeded in order to escape.-Bob Neumann, John Lallier, Ann Peterson, Stephen L. Bening

25) Jim McCants, after a fast of forty days on water, saw a reduced size map of the USA. Then, he saw, hovering in the air, the number "17". He did not understand this until he read an article by me, Stephen L. Bening, in which I explained that the flood of Noah occurred on Marheshvan 17 (Hebrew Calendar). I believe the Lord has connected this future asteroid impact with Marheshvan 17, and has called that future date ZERO HOUR.

There is a final, chilling postscript to this. Bob Neumann received the notion in his dream that no one on the internet confirmed the warnings that he was sending out. He had received the dream warnings, and was blowing the trumpet on the internet, but no one believed him. They thought he was crazy. As I consider this, in light of all the warnings I have now given over the internet concerning the dreams, the visions and the prophecies concerning this coming event, I can only say this: The internet won’t save you. No telephone call of warning will save you. Knowing Stephen L. Bening or Bob Neumann won’t save you.

Only an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ will save you from this event that is to come, so that you may live another day to be a witness and declare the greatness of our God to a lost and dying world. You must know Jesus. You must hear His voice. Jesus is the only one who died for you, and who can save you from this and every other danger and peril you may face. Stop whatever you are doing, and start living for Him today.

East Coast Mega Hurricanes

Charles Edmonds

On the morning of August 2, 2001 about 5:00 a.m. this dream came to me. I was above the trees and I looked to the southeast towards North Carolina southward. I was turned 7 degrees to the southeast. I was now facing towards a town call Roxboro N.C., and further down, Raleigh, then further towards the coast I saw this storm that was great and huge between Wilmington, N.C. even down to Myrtle Beach S.C.

It looked like a huge hurricane with terrible winds. Such winds the people never saw before. I was carried down into North Carolina above the trees I saw as the storm was blowing away people, cars, trees; everything in this storms way was tossed like toys with great speed. People were trying to hold on the poles, buildings, what ever they could grab. Cars rolled over like match boxes, trees snapped like matches, and the rain was hard. Then I noticed it did not harm me. It did not effect me.

I noticed the rain was not just like rain but like water mixed with dust. I thought it may be a nuclear bomb but then I heard a voice say to my mind "this is the first the second will be worse." I felt within me like the second will be down further south like Florida state.

I looked into the storm I saw a face that was the cause of this storm it was fierce, angry, very evil and hateful. Then I knew then it was the enemy.

I noticed people have never seen anything this great before. The whole world would wonder. They will stop and look and wonder.

BLACK HURRICANE VISION
Lance Dinnebeck

(I read the vision given to Charles Edmonds entitled East Coast Mega Hurricanes. I feel the second more terrible hurricane he saw down near Florida is what I saw.)

This is a vision I had when hurricane Ophelia was lingering around the Georgia and Florida coastal area. I don't know the significance of it. After watching hurricane Ophelia stalled around the Florida coast on the Weather Channel I decided I would take a nap. I awoke in a state between awake and asleep, I saw this black hurricane coming in on the east coast, it was massive and huge, I was tormented by it, it was spinning counter clockwise, it looked like it was coming in around northern Florida and southern Georgia.

Everything about this hurricane looked and felt evil, it was surrounded by darkness, I remember I was tormented by it and I saw a forearm trying to hold it back, the forearm was actually fighting to keep it off the east coast. While I was in a state between being awake and asleep I looked at the television and saw the weather channel broadcasting hurricane Ophelia.

Then my vision switched scenes to the east coast looking down at a map like you would see on the weather channel. Then I saw all these hurricanes going all the way up the east coast. They looked like holograms and I was fascinated how they were all spinning right at the coast, there must have been around 10 of them. I remember seeing a hand moving them around as if they were being tweaked and then I woke up. I didn't think anything about it then I went back to sleep later and had the same vision again.

I spoke with a friend of mine and told him about it and he told me he believed the black hurricane trying to be held back by the forearm was the prayer of the saints and the forearm was the Lord's or an angel. Now this is just a guess but the hurricanes I saw all going up the east coast in a row was the Lord showing me the path that hurricane Ophelia would take, maybe it was the Lords way of confirming to me what I saw would take place or maybe it could be the whole east coast being hit by many hurricanes. (Note from David: Or maybe all three.)

East Coast Tsunami?

Cal Bright

www.kosmosltd.net

Here is a related snippet from a BBC article I found on the web today: huge landslides and the mega-tsunami that they cause are extremely rare - the last one happened 4,000 years ago on the island of Réunion. The growing concern is that the ideal conditions for just such a landslide - and consequent mega-tsunami - now exist on the island of La Palma in the Canaries. In 1949 the southern volcano on the island erupted. During the eruption an enormous crack appeared across one side of the volcano, as the western half slipped a few metres towards the Atlantic before stopping in its tracks.

You can read the complete article at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2000/mega_tsunami.shtml. I would like everyone to pray about this also to see if the Lord may give them further clarification or if necessary correction on the meaning of this. I feel sure this was from the lord because it was like the first dream that came before the hurricane hit. Also, I am not certain this is for the future because the other one came to pass so rapidly after I had it. I think it is because I have not seen those uniforms yet. I believe the ball field represents where the game is played or the area that will be hit. I was never in fear in the dream of drowning myself even though I was at the bottom of a sea of people when I woke up. I also can’t rule out that the first wave was not a tsunami as well because it was a nice sunny day at the ball field. If these waves come this far inland it is unimaginable because I am 60 miles from the gulf and 150 miles from the eastern seaboard -- about 3 miles from lake Seminole.

La Palma, Canary Islands

Location: 28.6N, 17.9W
Elevation: 7,957 feet (2,426 m)

Space Shuttle photo STS074-085-092 taken in September 1992 and looking east across La Palma. Compare to the map below.

La Palma is a stratovolcano, and is the largest of the western Canary Islands. It stretches 21,320 ft (6500 m) above the surrounding ocean floor. Two main rock layers separated by a line about 1400 feet (427 m) above sea level make up La Palma. The lower layer is made of pillow lavas cut by basaltic dikes. The thickness of the pillow lavas range from 33 to 1150 ft (10 to 350 m). Most of the dikes are located within ~2 miles (3 km) of the west coast. The upper layer consists of basaltic lavas and pyroclastic rocks. Small alkalic domes have pushed their way into this area. Strong erosion of the island over time is shown by hundreds of meters of gravel mixed in with basaltic lava flows. The oldest volcanic rocks on La Palma are about 3-4 million years of age.

Simplified geology of La Palma. Thick gray dashed line shows the location of a rift zone proposed by Carracedo (1994). Taburiente and Cumbre Nueva are calderas. The landward scarps of these calderas may mark the headwalls of giant landslides.

La Palma has seven historic eruptions, the most recent in 1971 from the Teneguia vent. Other vents formed in historic time include Tahuya, a cone of lapilli, scoria and bombs about 3,000 feet tall (1,000 m) tall that formed over a three month period in 1585 by Strombolian eruptions and San Martin, a cone and crater that formed over two and a half months in 1646. The eruption at San Martin produced large amounts of lapilli and also sent four lava flows down to the ocean. Recent craters and eruptive vents are located along a central line. A large canyon drains the calderas to the southwest.

Economy Nuked, Bringing Revival & Antichrist

Audie & Kauley Jones

(David’s notes in red)

My husband has had many visions of America in trouble. He saw a man that looked like Uncle Sam wrapped in an American flag who was out of his mind and jumping from building to building. Wherever this man touched there was chaos. (America, in an attempt to save itself, will bring world war and the New World Order. As they say, “Order out of Chaos.”)

(Years ago he saw a crate being pushed out of a cargo plane due east of Orlando, near the Cape Canaveral area, which he knew by the Spirit was a bomb; he saw warships heading out of the U.S. toward Cuba; he saw a huge tidal wave headed to Florida, etc.)

Jesse, our 12-year-old son, had a dream where he saw himself sitting on a cloud, talking to a man he said he thought was Jesus. He couldn't hear everything the man said but did hear Him say that he was going to have to go through very difficult times but to hold on to God and he would make it through. (As always, “though much tribulation shall you enter the kingdom.”)

Then he saw all of the U.S. below him and clouds of smoke from bombs in different parts of the U.S. Then he zoomed in on a church and saw a pastor, who looked like he was going to cry, giving an altar call. Jesse said at least one-half to two-thirds of the church got up one by one and said, "Why didn't you tell us?" and "I have to get out of here and get something to eat," and they left. (Many will begin their pilgrimage from Babylon when the sin cities are nuked.)

Our 8-year-old son came to me and said, "Mom, I just had a thought -- that our President Bush would be killed and the man who killed him would try to get all the Christians to smoke cigarettes and the ones who wouldn't he threw in jail." (Smoke is an unclean breath. Smoking represents partaking of an unclean spirit because ‘breath’ and ‘spirit’ are the same word both in the Old and New Testament. The unclean spirit of antichrist will rule all nations and those who don’t submit will be outlaws.)

When our older son had that dream and our younger son that "thought" we hadn't yet discussed with them the things the Lord was revealing to us. (This makes his witness very credible.)

I also have had a couple dreams. In one I was in a backyard with a lot of children of all different races. I was overseeing them as they played with each other. To the left I saw three adults deep in conversation on the other side of a fence on the property. (These are the world wide children of the kingdom. (Mt.18:3)… Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. Those outside the fence are the wise and great of this world.)

It was a beautiful day and as I looked up at the sky I noticed a huge bubble, like the kind a child would blow through a bubble wand, except it was huge. It looked beautiful but there was something about it that bothered me. It seemed strange. I looked at the adults next door and they hadn't noticed it. I looked back at it and it started floating down. When it touched the ground it went up into a big mushroom cloud. (The huge, strange bubble is the economy of this world, which is contrary to God’s laws. When nukes are exploded in the U.S. and consequently the Middle East, the economic bubble will burst.)

I knew it was a nuclear explosion and that I needed to get all the children in the house where they would be safe. (This nuclear attack will cause the true children of God to begin to abide in Jesus, the house of God, the secret place of the Most High.) {1 Jn.2:3} And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. {4} He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; {5} but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: {6} he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked.

I started yelling at the adults next door but they couldn't hear me and just kept on talking. I started calling for the children and gathering them into the house and finally got them all in and closed the doors. I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look back out the doors (French doors with windows) and saw there were still a couple children in the yard who had been hiding. I knew if I went out there I'd be hurt but I knew I had to go. I opened the door and stepped out and my dream ended. (I believe the bubble was a spirit of deception -- that everything is OK.) (The worldly wise will not hear the call to come into the safety of the ark of Christ and the door shall be shut. Some children will be like Adam, who hid from the shame of sin. They will be saved in at the last minutes, causing the death of some of the witnesses of God.)

Enough Is Enough

Prophecy through a prophet friend in E. Florida
Dec. 2, 2003

Today the people say, 'speak only smooth things, I don’t want to hear anything bad.' Well the false prophets are saying 'prosperity, prosperity, prosperity, all is well. We will fly away; we will see no judgment. Put away the prophets of gloom and doom.' Well I say, 'Thus saith the Lord, judgment is coming; it is coming swift and soon.' I say to the prosperity prophets, 'You will be shamed. The people will walk away from you. The walls of your false prosperity will fall. The people will not listen to you anymore.' My true prophets have been rejected and put away, but it will not last. When all judgments come under the earth, they will call them out of their dungeons and say 'What else did the Lord have to say?' Gross darkness is coming and is coming very soon, people will fear and tremble and not know which way to go but the lord will bring light and light will be in that darkness. You will see who is of me and who is false. Truth will come forth and the people will be brought to the light and in truth and the fear of the lord will they come. Out of love and mercy I will restore and I will heal. I will take away your idols and you will put nothing before me. I'm about to shake this earth. The earth is my foot stool and the heaven is my throne. Turn away from the darkness and this world so you can have life. A great shaking is coming. I will put peace on my people that know me and I will protect those that love and know me. Enough is enough, judgment is coming. Thus saith the Lord!

GOD GAVE TIME TO REPENT
Vision given to Aritina Patlagica in Romania

For some years now, each time our prayer group comes together, we set aside a time to pray specifically for America. One day after all the brothers had gathered together, we began to pray, and while we were praying I had a vision. I saw a large map, on which I read the words "United States of America". What could this be?, I asked myself. Suddenly a hand appeared and it began marking certain places on the map. Then a man, dressed in white appeared beside the map, and he began to speak.

"See, God has given them time to turn to Him, time to repent and make their path straight, but they did not obey. Therefore, instead of mercy He will show vengeance. Do you see the places that have been marked? Those are the

places upon which His wrath will descend in different ways. God will not be mocked! Remember what I tell you, rather than mercy He will pour out vengeance."

I was shaken to the very core of my being, not from what I saw or what I heard, but from the fact that I know God fulfills that which He speaks. I am 78 years old, and in my lifetime I have seen the word of God come to pass too often to ever doubt.

Dec. 3, 03

Friends,

We appear to be hearing that a strong chastening is on the way. I received this verse from the Lord. {Jer.51:8} Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. {9} We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. {10} Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God. Our own country is of course abiding in Christ our heavenly New Testament Zion (Heb.12:18-24). In the text Jeremiah is speaking of the judgment of Babylon because they have made the nations "mad" with the cup of wrath they have dealt to them (Jer.25:15,16; Hab.2:7,8).

I also received: {Pr.2:22} But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, And the treacherous shall be rooted out of it. Then I then received: {2 Chron. 35:17} And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days. The pass-over of judgment is for those who have eaten all of the Lamb, Jesus, the Word of the unleavened bread (Ex.12:10). "Our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ" (1 Cor.5:7). (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: {14} that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus... Believe what the unleavened bread teaches and claim the blood over your doorposts. The above verse (17) is also the number of preservation through judgment. On the "seventeenth day" the flood came when Noah was in the ark (Gen.7:11). Genesis 7:(17) is when the ark lifted off. Joseph was 17 when sold into slavery and accused wrongfully in Egypt but God preserved and promoted him to save many alive. Pray for the elect.

God bless you my brethren,

Dave

Escape from Christendom

The Journey

In my dream I see the lone figure of a man following a road. As the sun sets beneath the hills, a city comes into view. Nearing it, the traveler sees what appears to be a large group of churches. Spires and crosses pierce the skyline. His pace quickens. Is this his destination? He passes an imposing structure, a neon sign flashing "Cathedral of the Future." Farther on a floodlit stadium supports a billboard boasting that fifty thousand people crowd into evangelistic meetings there three nights a week. Beyond this, modest "New Testament" chapels and Hebrew Christian synagogues cluster together on the street front.

"Is this the City of God?" I heart the traveler ask a woman at the information booth in the central square.

"No this is Christian City," she replies.

"But I thought this road led to the City of God!" He exclaims with great disappointment.

"That's what we all thought when we arrived," she answers, her tone sympathetic.

"This road continues up the mountain, doesn't it?" He asks.

"I wouldn't know, really," she answers blankly.

I watch the man turn away from her and trudge on up the mountain in the gathering darkness. Reaching the top, he starts out into the blackness; it looks as though there is nothing, absolutely nothing, beyond. With a shudder he retraces his steps into Christian City an takes a room at a hotel.

Strangely unrefreshed, at down he arises and follows the road up the mountain again; in the brightening light of the sun he discovers that what seemed like a void the night before is actually a desert--dry, hot, rolling sand as far as the eye can see. The road narrows to a path which rises over a dune and disappears. "Can this trail lead to the City of God?" He wonders aloud. I appears to be quite deserted and rarely traveled.

Indecision slowing his steps, he again returns to Christian City and has lunch in a Christian restaurant. Over the music of a gospel record, I hear him ask a man at the next table, "That path up the mountain, where the desert begins, does it lead to the City of God?"

"Don't be a fool!" his neighbor replies quickly. "Everyone who has ever taken that path has been lost... swallowed up by the desert! If you want God, there are plenty of good churches in this town. You should pick one and settle down."

After leaving the restaurant, looking weary and confused, the traveler finds a spot under a tree and sits down. An ancient man approaches and begins pleading with him in urgent tones, "If you stay here in Christian City, you'll wither away. You must take the path. I belong to the desert you saw earlier. I was sent here to encourage you to press on. You'll travel many miles. You'll be hot and thirsty; but angels will walk with you, and there will be springs of water along the way. And at your journeys end you will reach the City of God! you have never seen such beauty! And when you arrive the gates will open for you, for you are expected."

"What you say sounds wonderful," the traveler replies. "But I'm afraid I'd never survive that desert. I'm probably better off here in Christian City."

The ancient one smiles. "Christian City is the place for those who want religion but don't want to lose their lives. The desert is the territory of those whose hearts are so thirsty for God that they are willing to be lost in Him. My friend, when Peter brought his boat to land, forsook all and followed Jesus, he was being swallowed by the desert. When Matthew left his tax collecting and Paul his Pharisaism, they too were leaving a city much like this to pursue Jesus out over the dunes and be lost in God. So don't be afraid. Many have gone before you."

Then I see the traveler look away from the old man's burning eye to the bustle of Christian City. He sees busy people hurrying hither and yon with their Bibles and shiny attache cases, looking like men and women who know their destiny. But it is clear they lack something which the old man with eyes like a prophet possesses.

In my dream I imagine the traveler turning things over in his mind. "If I do go out there, how can I be sure that I will really be lost in God? In the Middle Ages Christians tried to lose themselves in God by putting the world behind them and entering a monastery. And how disappointed many of them were to find that the world was still there! And the people here in Christian City who are preparing to go to some jungle or a neglected slum, maybe they're coming closer to what it means to be lost in God. But then, a person can travel to the ends of the earth and not lose himself."

The traveler turns again to see the old person starting up the road for the narrow path down to the deserts edge. Suddenly, his decision mobilizes him and leaps to his feet, chasing after him. When he catches up, they exchange no words. The ancient man makes an abrupt turn to the right and guides him up still another slope which steepens as it rises toward a peak shrouded in a luminous cloud. The climb upward is very difficult. The traveler appears dizzy and begins to stagger. His guide pauses an offers him a drink from a flask hanging over his shoulder. Panting, he drinks it in great gulps. "No water ever tasted sweeter than this," he says with great feeling.

"Thank you."

Now look there." The old man points beyond them to a vista not nearly as monotonous and desolate as it had seemed earlier. The desert below has taken on many colors and gradation. In the far distance blazing light is throbbing and moving on the surface of the horizon like a living thing. "There is the City of God! But before you reach it, you will have to pass through those four wildernesses you see. Directly below us is the Wilderness of Forgiveness." The traveler notices small, dim figures making their way slowly in the direction of the city, separated from each other by many miles.

"How can they survive the loneliness?" Asks the traveler. "Wouldn't they benefit from traveling together?"

"Well, they aren't really alone. Each one of them is accompanied by the forgiveness of God. They are being swallowed by the desert of the Lord God's vast mercy. The Holy Spirit is saying to them as they travel, 'Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!' They are made whole as they travel."

Just beyond there is an expanse of blue. "Is it sea?" Inquires the traveler.

"It looks like water, but it's a sea of sand. That's the Wilderness of Worship. Here, look through these glasses and you will see that people are walking there, too. Notice how they begin to group themselves here. They are having their first taste of the joy of the City--worship. They are discovering how they were made for the worship of God. It is becoming their life, the white-hot source of everything they do."

"But don't people also worship back in Christian City? What's so special about that wilderness?"

"Worship, that is true worship, can begin only when a life has been utterly abandoned to the desert of God's presence. Out there the heart begins to worship the Father in spirit and truth."

Looking beyond the blue wilderness to where the desert rises in red and fiery mountains, the old man explains to the traveler that among those reddish mountains is the Wilderness of Prayer.

"Passing through that wilderness travelers find it necessary to turn away from every distraction and concentrate on prayer. They quickly learn that there is no possible way for them to survive but by crying out to God continuously. By the time they reach the outer extremes of that wilderness, prayer is their consuming passion and their supreme joy. It appears at first that the City of God is just beyond the Wilderness of Prayer. But there is one more wilderness hidden by those mountains, which you will pass through before you reach your destination. It is simply called the Harvest. You'll know it when you reach it. And beyond the Harvest is the City itself. Your name is known there. Your arrival is awaited with eagerness. Come, let's begin our journey."

"Nightfall doesn't seem to be a particularly propitious time to begin a journey like this," he says.

"Don't go back to Christian City," the old man exhorts, gazing at him earnestly."

"Not even at this hour? That way I could get a good night's sleep and start first thing in the morning," the traveler adds hopefully.

"But your rest is out there," he urges. "Walk on now, into the desert. The Holy Spirit will help you. Don't be afraid to be lost in God. You'll find your life nowhere else."

The Wilderness of Forgiveness

The old man has left the traveler standing alone at the edge of the desert as darkness falls. The lights of Christian City beckon from beyond him. I can imagine him thinking of the warmth of a friendly conversation over a warm meal and of going a sleep in a comfortable bed. But then his expression becomes resolute and he murmurs, "This is doubtless the road I have to take. I will find my life only by losing it, that's a certainty. But how can I know that if I take this path into the desert I will assuredly be lost in God and not merely lost? I can remember many people who took a solitary path which led them not to the City of God but into such unreal thoughts and spurious experiences that their minds an lives were destroyed. Surely the danger of settling for less than life in Christian City has to be weighed against the possibility of losing it in a wilderness of spiritual delusion. I'm sure that the darkness beyond contains not only the path to the City of God but also countless trap doors to hell, where one can be lost in lonely vanity. How can I be sure of distinguishing the true path?" What I first think in my dreams to be a star hanging low over the horizon now take the shape of a cross hanging directly above the path in front of the traveler. He looks up and notices it, his face showing recognition. He whispers quietly, "Forgiveness." And then with deep reverence quotes: "'So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing abuse for Him. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city which is to come..' Yes, I will go on!" The traveler says exultantly, taking his first steps into the desert.

As dawn breaks he sees nothing but sand and sky and a path which can be distinguished from all the others by the cross which hovers where the trail meets the horizon. As the day wears on it is obvious that the traveler is weary, thirsty, sick with heat. Just when it appears he cannot trudge another step, a stranger appears at his side.

"Over the next hill you will find a spring," she says.

"Keep going, you are almost there," she encourages him.

He is soon lying by a spring, drinking water and eating food which the helpful stranger provides.

"This is the Wilderness of Forgiveness," she explains to the traveler. "People often expect God's forgiveness to be like a beautiful park with fountains and rivers and green grass. They cannot understand why it should be a desert. Yet one has to learn that God's forgiveness is everything--everything! And this is possible only in a desert, where a Christian comes to see nothing, appreciate nothing, hope in nothing but the cross of Jesus." She quotes several passages from Galatians to the traveler:

But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has bee crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God...

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification were through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

"Do you think the apostle Paul traveled this Wilderness?" Asks the traveler.

"Yes, he did. For years Paul had worked very hard in the City of Religion, to be a religious man. Still he found no peace for his spirit. Then Paul met Jesus; and from the start, Jesus meant one thing to Paul: forgiveness. He was overwhelmed with it. The forgiveness of the cross was the theme of his life from then on. But Paul's first experience of the Kingdom of God as a reality in his life was right in this wilderness."

"So I'm walking where the apostles walked." The traveler's voice is full of awe.

"Remember when Peter lowered the net at the command of Jesus and brought it up loaded with fish? His immediate response was, 'Leave me Lord, I'm a sinner!' Jesus answered, 'Don't be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.' Implied in Jesus' answer was, 'I will take care of your sin.' And when they brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Jesus--followed Him here into this Wilderness of Forgiveness in pursuit of a cross. After Jesus had died for Peter's sins and risen for his justification and was about to fill Peter with the Holy Spirit, He said to this man who ha denied Him three times, 'Simon, son of Jonas, Do you love me?... Feed My sheep.' And with this thrice-repeated question and command, Peter's life was healed with the forgiveness of his Lord."

"For years," the traveler tells her, "I've been trying to get beyond theoretical, doctrinal forgiveness, most probably what is taught in Christian City, in order to know forgiveness itself. I've wanted to be immersed, baptized, LOST, in it. I have longed to hear Jesus say to me personally, 'Take heart, brother your sins are forgiven.' I've wanted to have the blood of the cross flow into my heart and purify it."

"You have come to the right place. Before you reach the other side of this Wilderness, you will experience the relief of having that load of guilt, which still, in fact, weighs you down like a rock, rolled away. You will begin to walk before God without shame. Just as you were once obsessed with the need to build yourself up, you will soon be obsessed with the forgiveness of God."

"Obsessed with the forgiveness of God?"

"You will become so obsessed with God's mercy that you will be free, for the first time in your life, of other peoples opinions."

"Ha! Not me." His response is immediate.

"The woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears was obsessed with His forgiveness to the point where she was heedless of the jeers and opinions of others. Or the cleaned leper--he joyfully fell at Jesus' feet giving thanks for more than the cleansing of his body; he had received the inner healing of forgiveness. When Zachaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus, he was watching his own forgiveness walking toward him down the road. So obsessed was he with the forgiveness which visited his life that day the chains of covetousness broke from his heart. You have come to the place where it will happen to you."

The traveler resumes his journey, his mysterious companion walking silently by his side for an hour or two then suddenly disappearing.

"What joy I feel!" The traveler exclaims aloud. "This must be what the disciples felt as they returned to Jerusalem after the ascension of Jesus."

"In the cross-shaped light, the traveler makes out the figure of another woman rising over the crest of the next dune and walking slowly down the slope toward him. He appears to recognize her. From his expression I gather that this person has wronged him. Her eyes are fixed on the traveler as she comes up to him.

"Will you forgive me?" She asks.

The traveler stops still. The woman draws closer, asking a second time, "Will you forgive me?" They are face to face when she asks for the third time, "Will you forgive me?" The traveler's mysterious companion is again at his side, quietly instructing him, "This Wilderness of Forgiveness is not only a place for receiving forgiveness, but also for giving it. This woman is but the first of a procession of people from your past whom you have never really forgiven. The supernatural forbearance which has flooded your being all day is being challenged by the bitterness buried in your soul for all these years. You have to make a choice. The sterile, shallow, lip service forgiveness of your past life is powerless even to be polite to this woman. But the forgiveness of God which has been flowing in to the point of becoming an obsession can flow out now if you will allow it to."

The traveler reaches out, takes the woman by the hand, looks into her eyes and replies, "Of course I forgive you!"

She weeps. And just as she forms the words, "Thank you," she is gone.

Then the man who called the traveler a fool in the restaurant back in Christian City comes running and panting toward him. Mopping his face with his handkerchief, the troubled man begins to beg forgiveness.

"Of course, of course," the traveler replies heartily. "It's nothing. Don't think another thing about it."

"Please don't take this matter so lightly. I NEED your forgiveness. Will you REALLY forgive me, from the bottom of your heart?"

"But I already have," returns the traveler. His companion illuminates the situation for him: "He needs your FORGIVENESS. Not courtesy, but active, genuine forgiveness. He needs your LOVE."

"My friend, you are forgiven," the traveler tells him earnestly with respect in his voice.

With visible relief the man sighs, "Thank you!" And disappears into the desert air. His companion reminds him of the verse in Matthew 18 which reads:

Then Peter came up and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times, but seventy times seven."

The Wilderness of Worship

"Water! Who would have thought that in the middle of this desert there would be a sea!" The traveler is exclaiming to himself when next I see him in my dream. From the brow of a mammoth dune he looks down into an expanse of blue stretching to the horizon. "But no, it isn't water," he remembers. "The old man on the mountain pointed to this as the beginning of the second wilderness." As he descends the hill to its edge, the strange sea of sand is not as flat as it seemed from above. There are waves of blue extending into the distance like a frozen ocean. "Perhaps there is a relationship between this and 'the sea of glass' before the throne of God. Perhaps the waves will flatten out as I approach the City of God."

Suddenly a person of unearthly beauty is standing a few feet away from the traveler. "Greetings," the being says. "It's a long way across this stretch. Many have perished trying to make it on foot. I offer you a better way."

"A better way?" Asks the traveler. "Yes, I have the power to cross this wilderness in a split second. And if you will let me, I can take you with me. I can have you safe on the other side directly."

"What must I do?"

"All I require is a token act. If you will merely kneel to pay me homage, I will lift you across this wilderness with the speed of light.."

"But that would be to worship you, wouldn't it?"

"Why do you find that strange? People do it every day. You did it yourself long before you came to this wilderness. The citizens often worship me in Christian City. Some there worship money--serve it like slaves. Their eyes light up at the thought of it. But the love of money is only a symbol of my reality."

"You aren't reaching me with your talk of money. It's never been a problem in My life," the traveler retorts. "How about romance? What could be more beautiful or innocent than being in love? But when the state of being in love becomes a goal and dominates the mind, there is idolatry involved. And it is 'yours truly' behind that idol," he says triumphantly. "But the most personally satisfying worship I receive comes from men and women who are pursuing religious successes."

"Well," the traveler cuts his boasting short, "If I have to worship you in exchange for quick trip across this wilderness, I'll gladly walk, if it takes forever!"

At this, the bewitching creature vanishes in defeat.

I soon hear the traveler reasoning with himself again: "In Christian City it is possible to go through all the surface motions of faith in God whiles one's real worship, the thing which obsesses the mind day and night, is idolatry. Now that I have left there I can survive only if I'm lost in the worship of God. God has said: 'Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.'"

"Perhaps such worship can be formed only in this desert, with its dryness and pounding heat, searing light and eerie silence."

These reflections are interrupted by a sudden crescendo of indescribable music, singing of unearthly beauty. Voices seem to be everywhere. Yet no one is visible. From the top of a blue wave, the traveler sees seven people standing in a hollow with their hands raised heavenward, uttering the praises to God. In the midst of this music, his mysterious companion returns. Filled with joy, the traveler tells her, "Do you notice how the seven worshipers are really surrounded by a multitude of magnificent beings whose voices blend with theirs? I fell that out here in the desert I have, in a mystery, already entered the outskirts of the City of God."

"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gatherings, and to the assemble of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to sprinkled blood that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel... Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire."

After some time the song ceases. Everything becomes still. No one is in sight but the seven worshipers, who bid the traveler God's peace and file over the dune, leaving him alone with his companion. She leads him to a rushing steam and provides him another meal.

"So this is the Wilderness of Worship," exclaims the traveler, still in awe from his experience.

"Yes, here Christians learn to worship God the Father in spirit and truth. You might call it the outer court of the City of God; for as you have seen, the inhabitants of that City are all around you. Back in the Wilderness of Forgiveness you began to experience the power of Jesus' blood cleansing your inmost heart. Here in the Wilderness of Worship you receive His Holy Spirit. God baptizes you with power and from on high in order for you to worship Him with a worship which, in the wildernesses beyond, will take the shape of deeds. Joel 2 tells us: 'And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants and maidservants in those days, I will pour out my spirit.'"

"I have never experienced such worship as this. But will it last?" Asks the traveler. "Will I still be able to worship the living God with such grace in the deserts beyond?"

"Changes are taking place in you which, if you let them, will last forever. Your heart is being opened by the outpoured Spirit. Your mouth is being opened to speak as God gives you utterance--'Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy.' And your eyes are being opened to see visions and dream dreams. You are receiving eyes which see God"

"But don't these same things happen back in Christian City? I am told that this sort of thing goes on in the Apostolic Church of the Future every Sunday night."

"The difference, brother, is that here you do not merely taste worship or dabble in worship. Here in the desert you are lost in the worship of God so that all your praise and thanksgiving goes to Him. Everything you do is done for Him."

"But isn't there a danger of fanaticism?"

"Fanatics worship principles, ideas, human personalities and even demons, but never God. Consuming worship of God is the doorway, not to fanaticism, but to liberty such as you have never known. When you are lost in the worship of God, you no longer worship such things as money, romance, or success. You have found the one true object of worship, and as you worship Him you are fulfilled."

With these words his companion departs. Once again the traveler is alone on a sea of blue sand, lost in the worship of God.

The Wilderness of Prayer

Now the sea of sand comes to an abrupt end in the foothills of a fiery mountain range. There is no vegetation, only walls of dry, hard, burning rock. Bones cluttering the sand at the base of the rocky barrier are mute testimony to the dangers of this desolate land. The traveler fixes his gaze on the cross shaped star as he walks, and recites to himself:

"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

Hearing voices in the distance, the traveler follows the path at the foot of the mountain toward them. There the path abruptly turns into a gash in the mountain. Entering the opening, he listens as a voice echoes and resounds with such intensity that no words can be distinguished. Moving deep into this rock pass, the traveler nears a huge wrought iron arch under which a man is addressing an assembly of men and women. "This is the way, believe me," pleads the man, his words now distinct. "This narrow gate to my left is so rusty it will hardly swing. Who in his right mind would want to follow that steep path, when this well paved, well traveled way is open and ready? Come through this gate and you will be out of the wilderness before the day is over. Good food and a clean bed await you at the other end. There are prayer meetings arranged at the rest stops every hour along the way."

Without hesitation the traveler passes under the wrought iron arch and proceeds down the road. Others join him. The route on which he now walks is smooth and pleasant in contrast to the blue sand he has just plodded through. A sign repeats the information that there are rest stops every hour, consisting of a prayer meeting and a light lunch.

At the first such stop he talks with a pleasant hostess: "I've come a long way. Please tell me where this path is taking us."

She smiles and replies, "You will be beautifully housed and well taken care of. Your journey will be over by nightfall."

"The traveler walks on, increasingly perplexed. Just as darkness begins to fall after a scenic journey through the rocks and trees, he finds himself on the brow of a hill looking down on a city.

"Welcome!" Exclaims a man standing beneath a wrought iron arch identical to the arch through which he had passed earlier.

"Thank you," replies the traveler. "But where am I?"

"Why, this is Christian City!"

Without another word the traveler turns and runs back the same way he came. With Christian City out of sight, he slows to a walk but doesn't stop until he's reached the other arch, the end of the false path. He cries out, "I have only one desire: to find that narrow gate and enter it before I take a single rest. How could I have been so blind? Of course the wide gate ha been almost obliterated by weeds and vines.

Daybreak finds him on a narrow path winding up through scarlet rocks. There is a hum in the air as of a wind through trees, but neither wind nor trees are found here. The hum grows louder and finally can be distinguished as a chant of many voices. Now the traveler sees the people on the path ahead. He has become part of a procession of people all moving toward the City of God. As they walk they are each talking to someone unseen. Some of them are crying. Some seem exuberant. Some are mentioning people's names and asking good things for them. Some ask their neighbors ahead or behind for help, but their main concern is with their unseen listener.

The traveler's mysterious companion now returns and addresses him. "Here in the Wilderness of Prayer the contrast with Christian City is extreme, you know. There, they do have prayer meetings and people pray before they go to bed. When life becomes difficult, their prayer becomes intense, until the crisis passes. But in the Wilderness of Prayer, prayer becomes one's way of life--the source of one's whole existence. The time has come for YOU to be lost in a life of prayer. Meditate on these passages in the Gospel of Luke," she adds handing him a sheet of paper on which is written:

Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was Praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form, as a dove, and voice came from heaven, "Thou are my beloved Son; with thee I am will pleased" (Luke 3:21-22)

But so much the more the report went abroad concerning him; and great multitudes gathered to hear and to be healed of their infirmities. But he withdrew to the wilderness and Prayed. (Luke 5:15-16)

In those days he went out into the hills to Pray; and all night he continued in prayer to God. And when it was day, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles...(Luke 6:12-13)

Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountains to Pray. And when He was Praying, the appearance of his countenance was altered, and his raiment became dazzling white. (Luke 9:28-29)

He was Praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to Pray, as John taught his disciples" (Luke 11:1)

And he came out, and went, as his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. And when he came to the place he said to them, "pray that you may not enter into temptation." And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and Prayed. (Luke 22:39-41)

And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one of the left. And Jesus said. "Father for forgive them; for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:33-34

"A prayer life is something we engage in alone, yet it brings us into fellowship with God and man as nothing else will," his companion tells him when he has finished reading. "prayer is going to God, to the Father's door, and asking for bread so that you can give it to your needy brother. When you knock and keep knocking the door always opens. Always. Out of that communion with God comes something you share with others. And as you share what God gives you, you have a communion with them. A person will have this communion even if he's shy or clumsy. For this life of prayer delivers one from the fear of other people's opinions and the fear of one's own blunders."

"But does it take these eerie mountains, these cliffs, this continuous danger to learn to pray?" Asks the traveler.

"Well, in the past you cried to god in you occasional emergencies. Here you are learning to see your life as a continuous crisis, driving you to call on God day and night. "Shall not God vindicate his elect who cry to him day and night?' The clearer our vision of what happens in the world--how close to the edge of chaos the nations are--the more we understand that the only way to know life is to come close to God the Father in prayer, to cry to Him day and night. We pray without ceasing because the crisis in earthly life is never over."

"But why does it all have to be so hard? It looks to me as though the climb through these mountains is the toughest part of the journey yet."

"Because prayer is our main work. It takes thought, concentration, an active will and the best of one's strength to pray for the hallowing of God's name, the coming of God's kingdom, to pray for laborers in the harvest, or to pray for specific people and their needs. You have barely begun to scratch the surface of the awesome things that wait to be done in answer to your prayers, if you will keep going."

"That's it, though! To keep going. I'm getting so tired."

"This is because your prayers are becoming engaged in the Real Battle. Prayer is the ground where we overcome evil with good. In these mountains you will learn to pray for your enemies. The life of overcoming evil with good starts with asking that good will come to those who have done evil to us."

The narrow path leads to a lookout where the traveler and his companion share a meal. Afterwards they walk to the edge of the lookout where she points to the path winding down through the mountains which diminish in size until somewhere near the horizon they appear to reach their end.

"You see, there begins the Harvest," the travelers companion says, pointing to a view beyond them, "Remember these words which Jesus said:

'Do you not say, there are yet four months, then comes the harvest? I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see how the field are already white for harvest. He reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, "One sows and another reaps." I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored, and you will have entered into their labor.'"

The traveler look into the distance while his companion explains further: "In Christian City, remember there is fine, wide street called Missionary boulevard, lined with spacious well kept buildings and adorned with fountains and lawns and lovely shrubs. Those buildings house every missionary enterprise known in the Christian world. There are headquarters for literature outreach, editorial offices for elaborate missionary magazines, and smaller facilities that provide a prayer letter service for the lesser known laborers. There are studios that produce world literature telethons and video tapes for missionary appeals. There are institutions that offer refresher courses for missionaries on furlough, and a computerized itinerary service for missionaries who need to broaden their financial base. There are recruiting centers, rest facilities for retired missionaries and even a budding record company. But lately Missionary Boulevard has been thrown into a panic by some disturbing news. Word has been received that large numbers of missionaries have committed the unpardonable breach of missionary etiquette: instead of taking as their mission field the approved territory of the known world, missionaries have plunged in to the desert toward the City of God.

"But what kind of mission field is this desert?" The traveler asks. "Whose soul are you going to save in the Wilderness of Forgiveness except your own? And when you get to the Wilderness of Worship, everyone there is already alive with God's glory. In the Wilderness of Prayer there is wonderful communion with other travelers, and I'm learning to intercede. But there aren't any lost souls..."

The Harvest

Reaching the outer extremity of the Wilderness of Prayer, the traveler in my dream is taking in his first clear view of his destination. In the far distance, radiant with a holy splendor, is the City of God. Visibly overcome with emotion, his step quickens. Suddenly he encounters a terrible stench of smoke and echoing bodies. Now there are corpses everywhere. Forms with life left are moaning for help.

A woman doubled up with pain begs the traveler, "Please, please do something for me. I can't tolerate this pain anymore!"

"I'm powerless," he tells her. "What do you think I could do for you?" "A little water is all I need. Please bring me some water!"

"Where am I going to find water in the desert?"

"How long do you think YOU'LL last," she replies, "unless you find water for yourself? Please find some and bring it to me."

As the traveler scans the desert in bewilderment, his mysterious companion returns and guides him to a spring surrounded by thousands of empty flasks.

"Drink some yourself," she suggests, "and then fill a flask for the woman."

After drinking this water, the traveler is immediately strengthened and brings some to the woman. By the time she has finished drinking her health is restored. Immediately she takes the flask, runs to the spring and begins helping her neighbors. There are men with deep wounds, children lying on their backs with faint, rapid breathing, and elderly people with dirty bandages around their worn faces. Some victims are screaming with pain and others are weeping silently to themselves. Some are revived with a single flask of water. Others need much more. I see other travelers engaged in this same effort. As victims are healed, they too participate in the labor of raising up others. As they carry water from the spring, the traveler shares this passage from the Gospel of John with another man:

"meanwhile the disciples besought him saying, "Rabbi, eat." But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know. So the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought him food?" Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his word."

"I guess we're learning what this means," added the traveler.

He spends many days in that place involved in the work of revival. One evening as he rest by the sprig his companion returns and sits down beside him.

"I don't suppose we'll be able to go on to the City of God until we've finished here?" The traveler asks her.

"That is true," she replies.

"But will they wait for us?"

"Don't worry. Just keep reviving these people until they're all on their feet. Then the gates of the City of God will be open and the inhabitants will come out and escort you in. Bear this in mind:

'Do not say, There are yet four months, then comes the harvest. I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields are white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true, "One sows and another reaps." I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.'"

"But these needs are so staggering that I am beginning to feel overwhelmed. The joy of seeing restoration take place before my eyes is offset to some degree by the vastness of this sea of despair. Is there an end to it?"

"Brother," replies his companion, "just as you had to lose yourself in God's forgiveness, and in worship and prayer, you are now losing yourself in the harvest. It is one thing to dabble in the harvest. It's quite another to be lost in it."

"But will I have the strength to keep on working among people with such great needs?"

"Isn't that what Jesus did?"

And as he sat at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners."

"It must have become discouraging for Him, though"

"Jesus wept over religious Jerusalem for its hardness of heart. Obviously His greatest encouragement on the human side came from these repenting sinners. Of these he never tired. You can confidently abandon yourself to this harvest without danger of being engulfed by it, provided you keep your vision of the City, and provided you do your work here with a whole heart. The Spirit of the Lord will sustain you if you will be careful to listen to these people as Jesus listened to the woman at the well, to the lepers, the lame, the blind, the father of the demon possessed boy. Don't be in a hurry. Take time to listen and ask the right questions. Find out where people really hurt, what they really need. Also, you must tell them about Jesus as you go about with your flask. The water in the flask and this message of yours are identical. These dying people are thirsting for Jesus, not theories about Jesus, but Jesus Himself. The message of Jesus is a drink of refreshing water which brings them back to life. Remember the verse, 'Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without pay, give without pay.'

Don't be satisfied until the mercy of god has raised them ALL to their feet."

"Yes. Think about this passage in Revelation;

"And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a great voice from the throne, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a great voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, for the former things have passed away.'"

"As you first experience the labor of the harvest and discover you are actually able to raise these perishing ones to their feet by giving them living water from the divine spring, Jesus, you have tremendous joy. The wilderness experiences of forgiveness, worship of god and prayer have issued in the power to heal the sick in the name of Jesus."

"'He who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works that these will he do, because I go to the Father.' The challenge is to endure."

The Vision

When I next see the traveler in my dream, he has begun to complain, "How long is this gong to go on? I would have thought that by now the work would be finished and we could go on. I'm sorry, but I'm tired. I'm going over by that boulder to rest in the shade for a couple of days."

Later another traveler passes the boulder and finds him lying there almost dead. Running to the spring he fills two flasks, returns and pours the precious water down his throat.

"Drink, brother, drink!"

"Thank you! Oh, thank you! I was almost done for," says the traveler between gulps. "But how did I come to this? What went wrong?"

His mysterious companion joins him again. "Brother," she says, "you lost your strength because you lost your vision. The City of God over there is still your destination. It is your home, the dwelling place of our God. While you work, be sure to take time daily, hourly, to pause and look at the City of God. If you fail to look up in the midst of your labors and see the City of God, fail to stop and hear its music, neglect to breathe the atmosphere it sends forth to you, or to drink from that stream which flows out from beneath its gates, you will be exhausted. You must remember that sustaining power comes from the City."

"The traveler resumes his work in the Harvest with fresh vigor. But at nightfall overcome by weariness. He goes to the spring; approaching it is a woman who looks to be quite elderly, yet doesn't appear the least bit tired.

"What is your secret?" Asks the traveler. "You look so youthful and vigor while I have no strength left."

"I have taken my cue from Daniel," she tells him. "Daniel must have been a busy man, yet in the midst of the daily pressures he continued to return to his upper chamber where the windows opened westward. There looking toward Jerusalem hundreds of miles away, he prayed and gave thanks to God. Even though it meant the lions' den, Daniel refused to neglect his prayers. Daniel keeps his vision alive by making the City of God his focus. And that's what I do. The more problems I have to contend with here in the Harvest, the more time seems to press in on me, the more firmly I fix my eye on the City of God. I make sure to keep looking up. Every time I eat bread and drink wine I do so in anticipation as well as in remembrance. This is the food of the City, you know. It keeps my eyes AND my heart there."

When the traveler left the old woman, he seemed to be consciously attempting to keep his vision before him. In low voice he was singing the words of Revelation: "And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband; and I heard a great voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away!"

When I last see the traveler, his mysterious companion had returned with a final admonition for him: "KEEP looking to that City and remember who waits for you there. He has prepared a place for you and will soon be coming for you. Meanwhile, as you look to the City, He will renew your strength so that you will mount up on wings as the eagles, you will run and not be weary, you will walk and not faint."

Two Revivals

At this point I was swept away from the scene of the traveler's journey to the top of a high cliff. I found there a stone tablet inscribed with these words from Revelation 19:

"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse! He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems; and he has a name inscribed with no one knows but himself. He is clad in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is the The Word of God. And the armies of heaven arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, followed him on white horses. From his mouth issues a sharp sword with which to smite the nations and he will rule them with a rod of iron; he will tread the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name inscribed, King of Kings and Lord of Lords."

Looking up from the tablet, I saw beneath me two revivals simultaneously in progress. Christian City was experiencing a revival which manifested itself in a massive and rapid growth. Within a very short amount of time the population had increased tenfold. Building was going on everywhere. New homes sprawled up an down the surrounding hills. But the most dramatic aspect of this growth in Christian City was the appearance of magnificent new church structures to towering over the country side. One cathedral was being completed which had a spire seventy stories high, housing the world's most powerful transmitter. Another church was taking shape in the form of a giant glass dome with revolving stage and wrap around sound systems. The most unusual one looked like an upright cross with fifteen elevators taking people up to the sanctuary housed in the south arm and a Christian restaurant housed in the north arm. There were Christian educational facilities for every age group from pre-kindergarten to graduate school; this group sponsored scenic retreat centers in the style of Swiss chalets with vast seminar halls.

There was a feeling in Christian City that this growth was sign of the world's last days. Books on the end of the age were up near the top of the Christian best seller lists, second only to the Christian sex manuals. Reporters came from all over the world to do articles on the booming conditions there. The inhabitants of Christian City were claiming that when the End came, they would be caught away to the City of God, before the chaos erupted.

At the same time, I saw across the desert far distant from Christian City a very different revival taking place with none of the accouterments of successful religion. Dying men and women were being raised to their feet like the dry bones Ezekiel saw. They were being delivered from their diseases, their sins, and their spiritual prisons, merely by drinking the living life giving water shared it with others, bringing healing to them. As by a spreading fire or a surging flood, the sick ones were being swept to their feet. Laborers there, who'd spent years seeing limited results, found that now it was taking no more than a single drop of water on a parched tongue to raise the dying to life. And each day the process was accelerating.

Finally I saw the last prone body raised to life. What once appeared to be a battlefield of defeat had become the camp of a mighty army. Suddenly an earthquake shook the ground beneath my feet. The Sky darkened and a sound of war rolled in from the east.

Then I saw Christian City being invaded and destroyed. The magnificent cathedrals, the world's largest cross, retreat centers and seminar halls were splintered apart and flattened by deafening explosions. Dead bodies of the inhabitants who had thought they would escape this holocaust filled the streets. The armies of destruction now pressed on into the desert toward the scene of the second revival. Soon this seemingly indestructible horde was engulfing the Wilderness of forgiveness, the Wilderness Worship and the Wilderness of Prayer. When the City of God came into its view, a single roar like that of a wounded beast filled the air. The horde drove on toward its goal, appearing about to storm the City of God.

But near the wall of the City, the army of revived ones waited poised and ready. When the enemy came within range, the gates of the City burst open. Out marched the Army of Light led by a King of such splendor that the enemy horde had to shield its eyes. The revived ones merged with the Army of Light and joined battle with the enemy. Three-and-a half days later the war was over. The enemy was destroyed and the triumphant ones entered the City of God for which they had been chosen before the foundation of the world.

Again I was swept away to read another large tablet engraved with further words from Revelation:

"Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly in midheaven, 'Come, gather for the great supper God, to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, both small and great.' And I saw the beast and the kings of earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who sits upon the horse ad against his army. And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and whose who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. And the rest were slain by the sword of him who sits upon the horse, the sword that issues from his mouth; and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he could deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark of their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years."

When I had finished reading this, as abruptly as my dream had come to me it ended, leaving me with a deep sense of awe, a new awareness of the undercurrents in my own life, and a renewed desire to seek to know God in spirit and truth.

Never has it been more clear to me that two revivals are in progress on the earth. One is the revival of the Spirit of God by which dead men and women are freed from their sins by the blood of the Lamb and raised to a life which is the life of the sons of God, a life which bears God's nature, manifests God's mercy. The other revival is the revival of religious flesh, a revival which is so appealing and gather such multitudes and wield such power in this world because it offers all the comfort of religion while allowing you to keep your ego and all rights to yourself.

Surely each of us has to decide which revival he is going to be part of . Am I going to invest my life in some enterprise of booming Christian City? Or am I going to lost my life in the pursuit of God's will of mercy? Am I going to concentrate on building something that will cause the citizens of Christian City of sit up and take notice? Or am I going to spend my life bringing the poor and the maimed and the halt and the blind the Master's table?

Everything That Can Be Shaken

Scott's Vision
I was awakened at 4 A.M. with a great burden to pray but with no specific direction. I got out of bed and walked into the living room (all was dark). After sitting in the recliner, I began to pray. Not long thereafter I began to see (with my eyes) the United States (not as a map). I could clearly see it all: the Smokies, Rockies, deserts, all of it. The light was like evening with shadows falling below the mountains. Canada, Mexico, and the two oceans were shrouded in darkness. As I was watching, I began to notice on the East Coast many small flickers of red and yellow flames springing up; and as the intensity of the flames grew, smoke began to come forth traveling westward at an incredible speed. It was then that I noticed flames all over the country in like manner. Suddenly, I was on or beside (in the air) a great rocky ledge looking upon an eagle perched on his nest facing the direction of the approaching cloud. The cloud was rolling across the land from top to bottom (like a carpet unrolling); it appeared to be boiling. It was then that I looked the eagle in the eye; there was no fear there, only determination. He sprang forth in the direction of the rolling cloud. As I watched him fly into the storm, I noticed many more, by the hundreds, leave their nests and fly into the storm. I also saw those cowards that would not leave their nest but waited. I also saw those that fled the storm but soon tired and were swept under. Those that had no fear came through the storm and out the top, losing only a few feathers. Again, I was looking down at America; but the scene was changed. It was still twilight, but death hung in the air. Ashes were from the North to the South and from the East to the West. As I looked at the bleak landscape, I saw the eagles that had come through, landing all across the country; and where they landed, a small glimmer of light began to grow in intensity, until like a shaft of liquid golden light, it shafted into the Heavens. It was then I noticed above me thousands upon thousand of angels. They had no halos, nor did they wear dresses but were clothed in pants and odd looking shirts of pure white with wide belts of different colors and designs. As the shafts of light came up, a group of angels would immediately descend to its point of origin. All across the nation, it was so; as the light went up, the angels came down. [When the angels hear the word of God (the light) from the lips of his people, they are loosed to perform his wonderful works (Psalm 103:20,21 / Mt.18:18 / Heb.1:14 / Rev.12:7-11).]

Fighting the Old Man to a Draw?

Eric Dejesus - 10-11-06

(David's notes in red)

In a dream I was in a class room and an old man was teaching the class. (We can't let the old man teach the class, which includes ourselves and all who associate with us.) He said to the class, "I don't like that Eric, I'm going to challenge him to a wrestling match." (If we let him speak through us he will gain confidence and strength against us.) Then he got up and came over to my desk and looking down on me said a second time, "I challenge you to a wrestling match." He was about 7 feet tall so I followed him outside. (The giant in our life will challenge us and lead us into battle.) I noticed that nobody in my class was interested in watching the fight. (Most onlookers don’t even know the battle between the spirit and flesh is going on inside us.) When I got outside everything seemed deserted like a ghost town so we walked over to a playground. (As far as man is concerned, we are all alone in this battle.)

We began to fight and he threw a wild right swing at me and missed. (The right side symbolizes spirit, and the arm symbolizes power. This is a fight of spiritual power; the evil spirits in our flesh against the power of the Holy Spirit within us joining together with our spirit.) I swung back with an uppercut but missed his jaw because of his height. Then he got me in a headlock but I broke free and grabbed him in a headlock and he also broke free. (The flesh and spirit taking turns controlling the mind is a double-minded life.) Then we separated and began to circle each other like as two wrestlers. We cried out as warriors would cry in a battle and smashed into each other as two sumo wrestlers but being equally matched in strength we were both unable to get an advantage. We wrestled like this for what seemed like an hour and finally we disengaged from each other, very exhausted. (Unless we repent of our sins, which weakens the old fleshly man, and believe the promises of our crucifixion and life in Christ, which strengthens the spiritual man, there will be no spiritual victory, only exhaustion. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me...)

Looking over he said to me, "I think this is a draw." Replying back I said, "I think you are right," so we both proceeded back to the class and he announced to them that the battle was a draw. (We can't afford to believe or speak that there is a draw for this leaves us unevenly yoked to the old man in a lukewarm life.) He then said arrogantly, "Eric stood up to me, but I have friends in high places and I’m going to bring trouble for Eric; you wait and see!” (Gal.5:17) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.) Suddenly I found myself walking in a city I've never seen before. Somehow I understood I was walking to my house. I remember the whole city was white, both buildings and cars, but the people walking around were dressed in black. (The unseen "kingdom of God has come nigh" but the people are walking in darkness.) When I arrived at my house there were police lines blocking my way. All manner of law enforcement officers were there. (If we don't beat the old man but leave him in control of the class we break God's law and have to pay the penalty.) One who appeared to be in charge came up to me and asked, "Are you Eric?" I answered, "Yes I am but sometimes I'm not sure." (We never really know who we are until the old man is dead.) He then said, "You are evicted and you have to walk around in the street." So then I looked toward heaven and cried out, "Lord, what am I to do without a house?" Then the dream ended. (This is a good teaching the Lord has given to us through Eric. We either put to death the old man or we eventually lose controlling interest in this house we call a body and maybe even the house we call a home. A more primitive lifestyle, enforced by the beast, is coming to the Church as a whole because of this lukewarm draw.)

First-Fruits Rise as World Falls

It Took a Prophet

Stephen L. Bening - Dec 9, 2005

I remember how crazy it appeared to be for me to suggest, in a prophecy, that Arabs were going to one day come against the United States with nuclear weapons. There had been no Arab attack against U.S. interests in January, 1993 when I had the vision of the missile heading toward the USS Kitty Hawk. That all changed a few months later, when some Arabs bungled a first attempt to bring down the World Trade Center. Of course, they were not bungling anything any more in 2001. Now, it doesn't take a prophet any more to say that Arabs are going to use anything and everything they can obtain to attack the United States. It takes a prophet to name names like that. Bob Neumann says a similar fate will come to the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln. You can count on it: it will happen.

Why does God show His servants such things? Because He says that He will, and so that we can have an opportunity to humble ourselves, and turn from our sins, and to pray. The 1960's were the time of my childhood, and church in those days was certainly not about money and the big show. There was not even one well known national TV religious figure. Billy Graham was much bigger than that: He was a national icon, but there really were no others. Church was religion, but it was local, and the families were involved. Everyone had a nuclear family. It took a prophet, Stanley Frodsham, to tell us that one day the churches would be so obsessed with money and prosperity to the point that it would be all they would talk about or prophesy about. Of course, it took Rick Wiles to point out in 2005 that since they prophesy only about money and prosperity, God will not give them any visions about the coming of the Lord. It took a prophet then. Now, all it takes is a television. Well, it still takes a prophet for some of these things now, doesn't it?

There are some things that it never really took a prophet to tell us, but God sent us prophets anyway to show us that California WILL fall into the sea, and the Mississippi River will become a 250 mile wide lake due to terrible earthquakes that will rip this country apart. Chicago will go to the river bed and yes, New Orleans will be flooded. No, it really didn't require a prophet to tell us those things, but God sent prophets ahead of time because God honors his word. He will tell His servants, the prophets, before he does ANYTHING. Yes, volcanoes will erupt in America and elsewhere, and earthquakes will happen in diverse places. Jesus said so, and so have other prophets. Yes, God sent prophets to tell us that Russia WILL launch those missiles against the U.S. Many of them carry the name of Satan: The SS 18. It takes a prophet to tell you those types of things, because the result is so horrible that everyone wants to believe that arms control will succeed. Surely, this nuclear holocaust can be avoided, everyone hopes. But, it takes a prophet to tell us the truth, and the truth is no, it will not be avoided.

It really takes a prophet to tell us things that we have never seen before. In 2001, I began to prophesy, along with Bob Neumann and others, that a giant tsunami would inundate the East and Southern Coasts of the United States. No one had ever seen or heard of such a thing. Then, in 2004, something like this happened in Indonesia. Now, some are conceding that it still takes a prophet to believe that a falling asteroid, or two, or three, might cause such a thing, but now, it is being discussed in the evening news and not in the National Enquirer. Rick Wiles is saying right now, in November 2005, that a great calamity like nothing the world has ever seen is coming very soon, and we all need to be weeping about it before the Lord. Have you shed any tears? Do you pray at all?

Long before that, in 1997, Virginia Boldea also saw asteroids hitting land in the United States, and others have seen the same thing in dreams. In 2005, the Lord told me that we will see asteroids hitting land and cities and in the sea, off the coast of the United States. Yes, land and sea. Neither has happened before, so right now, it takes a prophet. In just a little while, it won't. It really didn't take a prophet to tell us that suitcase nuclear bombs would be detonated in the United States. A defecting Russian General told us that it had been planned that way. God showed me in 1992 that a nuclear blast would incinerate Miami Beach. Later, He showed me Los Angeles, meeting a similar fate. Dumitru Duduman was also shown several cities, including Las Vegas, where these detonations would occur. It took a prophet then to say it, and it still will, until the first bombs go off. Then, it will not require a prophet any more. To say, as Dumitru said, that "America Will Burn" will probably always require a prophet. Russia has been so friendly for the last 15 years, but it took several prophets to tell us that it will not remain this way. It took a prophet to bring forth the truth to come in the most colorful and memorable vision. Thank God for Henry Gruver.

It also took prophets to tell you that just before the worst of these things happen, God is going to seal, cleanse and raise up a remnant unto himself. These will have kept themselves unspotted and undefiled. They will not be connected with any of the harlot churches. These remnant believers will have EVERYTHING they need to rule and reign for Jesus in the Earth, and they will not be widely known. They will be an obscure group of no reputation, who suddenly come forth, filled with great power from God. It takes a prophet to reveal such a thing, it always has, and it always will. When you see the empowerment and rise of this obscure remnant, look out, for as they are rising, everything else in this world system is about to fall. (Note from David: The man-child, David's, First-fruits, White horse rider, etc.)

It takes a prophet to tell you that some of these events are nearer than one year away. Yet, that is what three prophets are saying, and I am one. These world shaking events are very, very near. Are you ready? Are you still in your sins? Are you mired in the God forsaken religion of prosperity Christianity? For God's sake COME OUT OF IT! Have you made any preparations at all, spiritually or in the natural? Have you prayed that God might, in His wrath, show mercy? Now would be a very good time to fall to your knees, or take a walk with God, and pray. Ask Him about the truth of all of this, and what He wants you to do about it. Beg God to deliver you out of your sins. Get your plan from heaven. You are almost out of time.

The Trumpet
by Bill Burns

December 26, 2005: You shall be astonished as you walk forward from this day. I tell you that I am going to build My house. It is a house that no man can build, and I will build on the mountain tops, and I will build in the places that people will flow into. I will build a house of power, for indeed this is the season of the horse (of power) when the sons of My right hand shall arise to their positions. I shall dispel the lies that I no longer move in power. I shall break through the darkness, for I am the light of this Day. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Truth is going to be revealed in an unprecedented way as I come forth in power and build My house. It will be a house that I can dwell in, a place of healing and resurrection life, a place of revelation knowledge. You, My people, will see that house. Arise and rejoice, for I come, says the Lord!

Small Straws in a Soft Wind
by Marsha Burns

December 26, 2005: There is a rumbling; it is My power in the earth. It is resurrection power. I have been touched with the feeling of your infirmities. I have been touched by your grief and sorrow. Come forth. Rise up and come forth. You have been bound in grave clothes, but I call to you to come forth! I will bring you up and loose you from your bondages. I will cause you to overcome and to be victorious even over the death in the things you have experienced, says the Lord.

First-fruits about to Walk as Jesus Walked

Corey Caldwell 1-27-06 - 12:55 am

In a dream I saw a candle lit and up close (the candle also took the shape of a lamp) that was surrounded by total darkness. Then I saw the light of the candle back in the distance. As I got closer to the light the light grew brighter. And then I was inside the light and a beautiful lush green garden appeared with a well in it and next to the well a small house with a small tower which looked like a chimney but was not. On the top of the tower was what looked like a clock, although I didn't see the time. My focus was now on the well which at first looked like a fountain because water was springing up out of it. Around the circle of the well was a stone wall with water around the sides. In the middle, however, was the well with the crank and bucket which was made out of wood. As I looked upon a hand brought up some water as to drink. As the water was in this hand it turned into a handful of almonds. This hand belonged to a man and he began to eat the almonds out of his hand.

Interpretation by Corey and David: By being the source of God's true Word to the world we become the light. (Mt.5:14) Ye are the light of the world. The "small house with a small tower which looked like a chimney" represents the relatively small group of the first-fruits who have offered their natural life -- wood -- as a fiery sacrifice to God. The clock means the time for this sacrifice is now. The first-fruits to manifest this garden and well of living water is the bride. (S.of Sol. 4:12) A garden shut up is my sister, my bride; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed. ... (15) Thou art a fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And flowing streams from Lebanon. Those who believe as the scripture hath said are the well of living water of the words of the Spirit. (Jn. 7:37) Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. (38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. (39) But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified. The almonds are the first-fruits of the water about to come forth by the hand of God and not by the works of man -- the crank and bucket. (Jn.4:11) The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water? The first-fruits almonds come before the leaves which in Mt.24 signify the revival of God's people. Almonds eaten by the Lord represents the first-fruits being taken totally into his body -- abiding totally in Christ; walking as He walked. This is the coming man-child ministry of Revelation 12.

Glorified in His Saints

Aaron Lim - 10-2-06

I received this vision as I was listening to a talk by David Eells. In the vision the whole land was dark and nothing could be seen in the background. I saw the Lord Jesus Christ with a light around Him on the cross on top of a hill in the middle of the land. All around at the bottom of the hill I saw people who looked exactly like Jesus, like they were clones of Him. They were all wearing the exact same garments as each other and had the same light around them as Christ did, and they were all looking up towards Him on the cross. Praise His name.

{2 Cor.3:18} But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.

{2 Cor.4:11} For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

{Gal.2:20} I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

{2 Thes.1:10} when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. {11} To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; {12} that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

After the vision, I knelt down to pray and closed my eyes and I pictured Jesus Christ on top of the hill, as if through the eyes of one of the saints, and I said to Him a prayer from King David: with all my heart have I sought you, don't let me wander from your commandments. He looked at me and said, "Ask the Father, because anything you ask of Him will be done by the Father." So I looked up to the sky and asked our Father, and tears started flowing from my eyes. To Him be the kingdom and the glory forever and ever.

My brothers and sisters, seek diligently and keep your eyes on the Son because everything else is darkness and in Him there's hope. Ask the Father to lead you by the hand to our Lord because we can't find Him on our own. I have faith in His power to perfect all of us in Jesus Christ.

Greater Works Coming

Rex Veron - 10 - 4 - 06

Last night around 1:30 or 2:00 I dreamed; actually it was like I was translated to this place. I was in among many people of all walks of life and backgrounds. They were all of the age of 16 to 20 years old, except me. We were working as a team casting out demons, praying and exalting Jesus. We would speak and it would come to pass; healings, prophesying, deliverances, growing and replacing of limbs, it was awesome. It replayed several times, and I remember thinking I'm actually here with these people doing this. The feeling of presence was overwhelming. The people were non-descript, nothing distinguished one from another and all had in common the love, reverence and fear of the Lord. I have a strong sense this morning this has something to do with the birth of the man-child and how the corporate body will function.

A Bird Of Prey
Teddy Lishan Desta
(David's notes in Red)

What I have purposed from eternity that I will perform in its appointed time. My eternal counsel shall stand, and what I have purposed will be done. I am not a man to lie, not a son of man to change My mind. I will do what I counsel to do; I cannot deny Myself.

Many have written about My plan for the last days. But did they truly learn from Me; or did they hear from My eternal counsels? Did they partake of the secrets of their God; did they visit the inner recesses of My word? Did the mysteries of the Holy One of Israel have been disclosed to them? Had they known My counsel, they would have declared My mind. Had they truly heard from Me, there would have been no error among My people. But what they spoke was of man; what they wrote was out of the learning of man. Neither the wise of this world could know about My doing, as it is discerned by My Spirit. None of their learned men could predict about My plan, as this was My much kept secret.

{Jer.23:16} Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they teach you vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of Jehovah. {17} They say continually unto them that despise me, Jehovah hath said, Ye shall have peace; and unto every one that walketh in the stubbornness of his own heart they say, No evil shall come upon you. {18} For who hath stood in the council of Jehovah, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who hath marked my word, and heard it? {19} Behold, the tempest of Jehovah, [even his] wrath, is gone forth, yea, a whirling tempest: it shall burst upon the head of the wicked. {20} The anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall understand it perfectly. {21} I sent not these prophets, yet they ran: I spake not unto them, yet they prophesied. {22} But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

My people, listen to Me as I speak My heart to you; and carefully weigh My words which are from My heart. My secrets I disclose to you, and that which has not been known to past generations I reveal to you. You have not heard it before; only now I lift the shroud and reveal which has been hid from the ages. You are My chosen generation, so I reveal My truths to you. This I do so that you shall build My Kingdom on earth and bring Me the glory (Is 48; Eph. 1: 17-20; Rom 16:26-27).

This is My will; My eternal counsel. Your God will stir a bird of prey; his instrument of judgment from its abode. God has readied His bird for these days. God shall use it to bring His eternal plan to pass on earth, and God’s hand shall guide it into action. God will call it from the valleys of the Jordan, and make it to emerge from the lowest parts of the earth. As the phoenix rises from its ashes, so shall My bird rise from the furnaces. It will come forth from the smoldering fires, so it will gleam like burnished steel. It will ascend to the heights, and strike across the skies like lightening. The world will be taken by surprise; its appearing shall strike fear among many. I have fully equipped the bird to fulfill all that I have called it to do.

(This phoenix is first fruits sons of God in whom Jesus is resurrected from the death of the Jordan to do His works of old when He was the first fruits. They will bring truths hidden from the foundation of the world and authority to bring judgment on the beast and harlot.)

Its eyes are like that of the eagle, penetrating and discerning from afar. Its wings are large and strong; it will not weary or tire. Its talons and beak are sharp and strong; none of its prey can escape its grips. My bird shall strike fear in the hearts of the kings of the earth, and the girdles of their loins will untie. Those who eat My people as one who eats bread, they shall be judged by My hand. Those who said they reside in their strong towers, them it shall attack and humble for their pride. Many will cry out to God for His mercy and forgiveness; many may find the door of repentance closed.

But to you, My sons and daughter of the Faith, the bird shall come to you as a comforter, carrying healing in its wings. To you, it shall bring good tidings, the news of eternal joy and rest. You shall get protection under its wings, and deliverance from your mortal enemies. With your eyes you shall see the destruction of the wicked, and none of the pestilences coming to your gates.

{Mal.4:2} But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. {3} And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts.

You shall see My salvation coming to the earth; you shall see as the captives go free. You shall see your corporate prayers answered and your righteous petitions granted. I will wipe away your tears from your faces, and your mouth shall be filled with mirth. You will see the righteousness of God filling the world, as the Word of God is honored by all.

{Hos.6:2} After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. {3} And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.

{Mal.5:2} But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. {3} Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she who travaileth hath brought forth: then the residue of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. {4} And he shall stand, and shall feed [his flock] in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah his God: and they shall
abide; for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.

Therefore, My people, wait upon your God expectantly as I AM to begin to fulfill My eternal plans. But many others will attempt to fight My will, but they shall fail. Many will try to shoot down My bird of prey, but no weapon fashioned against it can prosper. I AM your God who does His eternal counsels faithfully in its appointed time. I do that which is truth, and I owe no one an apology, says the Lord.

Word

From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do (Is. 46:11, NIV).

I am calling a man to come from the east; he will swoop down like a hawk and accomplish what I have planned. I have spoken, and it will be done (Is. 46:11, GNT).

For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man (Matt 24:27, NIV).

First-Fruits Train and Send the Witnesses

Amos Scaggs - 12-17-05 (David's notes in red)

I received a vision from the Lord showing two stages of His work in and through His last day disciples.

The first stage was these modern disciples were being gathered, including myself. Preparations had been made by the Lord well in advance. We were adequately taken care of and our needs met without asking. We gathered together in fields, feasting and listening to JESUS while he taught us his ways. (This is a repetition of history. Jesus, manifested in the first-fruits/man-child, will teach and protect the disciples for the first three and one half years of the tribulation just as it was in the Gospels. They will be trained to be his witnesses and signs and wonders will follow their teaching just as it was with the first disciples.)

We were going through different parts of the world but seemed to be in the same field. We were also given protection well in advance. We were being given monetary things from Christians that believed in and were sympathetic to our cause but stayed in their prosperous communities. They were good people and kind to us. When we left this first teaching stage they even came to see us off on our journey. (These brethren were not called to be among the man-child or witnesses, who are God's apostles to raise up the end-time Church but they are called to support these ministers. Just as the witnesses were hand picked by Jesus in the Gospels, so it will be this time.)

The second stage was that we were gathered into groups of two’s and three’s and being sent out into the world. Some would never return to see their families ever again. We were being sent in different groups and then being dispersed. One had the same spirit and anointing as John. Another had the same spirit and anointing as Peter. Another had the same spirit and anointing of James and so forth. (The two witnesses who have the spirits of Moses and Elijah also have the spirits of the Apostles. As Jesus sent out the corporate two witnesses two by two in the Gospels and then in the Book of Acts, so in our day will the man-child send out the corporate two witnesses. They will give their life to raise up the Church and the true five-fold ministries according to type.)

I also saw two rich people that were in government power. These were two older friends that partially raised me when I was younger and have been dead for 30-40 plus yrs. He was the Lt. Governor of Ohio and his wife. I was finishing up some meaningless work that I was doing for them so I could leave in a rush. She said, I will have a baby by another means if you won’t help me. He said, “It will have to be by other means because I can’t help you.” She said, I think I’ll have one by a Cherokee. (The woman here is a remnant of the apostate Church, which will realize that it could not bring forth the fruit of Christ through their patriotic, allegiance to their husband, the beast government, so it will be done by "other means." The Cherokee represent the witnesses who, like them will hold tenaciously to the roots of their forefathers, the apostles and Christ himself. The Cherokee are an oppressed minority who live in camps separate from the world representing these coming witnesses of primitive Christianity. These will rise up and sow the seed of their forefathers into the apostate Church to bring forth the fruit of Jesus in them. These are a weak people in themselves who lost their land to the American beast but have held to the "Great Spirit" whose power will bring the true Church back to her roots.)

I thought the Cherokee child would be born mature as Adam was. (God will do a very quick work in His people. {Rom.9:28} for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.)

Fish Dying Everywhere

Bob Aicardi

I would have to say the dream the Lord gave me many years ago of my standing on the bow of my boat fighting a large fish is possibly upon us and will get progressively worse. In my dream in what started out to be a lengthy fish battle in clean blue Gulf water quickly changed...As I looked down the water became turbidly polluted as the boat crossed over into a dead zone. The fish I was fighting sounded and as I looked down deeper the bottom was layered with the white bellies of large dead fish carcasses covering almost all of the bottom like cord wood... In the dream I asked the Lord what this meant. I continued to stare at what appeared to be a gulf of dead fish rotting on the ocean floor. I have often times reread this dream and asked the Lord what the reason was for his giving it to me some 5 years ago.

Greg Coleson

If you aren't paying attention you should be.

This is a collection of segments from many articles from a lot of different places all around the world...that is why this is so greatly disturbing. As a summery: in some places it is the heat wave, others it is plankton in the oceans and red tide; on main land lakes it is oxygen depletion by the heat waves and others it is suspected poisoning related to the Chemtrails. You should scan down through the links and see all the different states and countries that have been affected...it is astounding to see and very disheartening as well.

(Note from Dave: Too many different causes in too many places. This is the Lord's judgment.)

WHAT IS REMOVING OXYGEN FROM THE WATERS? Chemtrail chemicals? Or is someone spraying to remove every living thing from this planet? When you wipe out huge pieces of the 'food chain', you are in effect giving ALL living species on this planet a 'death sentence'. Please don't tell me this is so somebody can 'patent' fish and sell us that part of our diet as well. (They have recently requested a patent on pigs and we know they are attempting to make owning natural seeds a crime) Cause there won't be anybody left to buy the products.

11 MILLION SALMON MISSING

Warm waters blamed for disappearance of sockeye
CTV.ca News Staff

In the few places on the B.C. coast where sockeye salmon fishing is allowed, boats are coming back to port empty or near-empty this summer, as the annual sockeye run has so far failed to materialize.

The Skeena sockeye run, initially forecast to be 1.2 million fish, has been about half that number. There are also low numbers on the Fraser and Nass Rivers.

On the Fraser River, 11 million salmon were predicted to return, but the peak last weekend saw about 100,000 fish.

Because of the crisis, the commercial fishery has yet to open and the native fishery has been restricted.

Fish kill merits top priority
Tuesday, August 09, 2005

It should be unsettling to more than just anglers that unusual numbers of young smallmouth bass are being found dead in sections of the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers.

Specifically, biologists and anglers are finding large numbers of dying or dead fish with skin lesions downstream from Lewistown in the Juniata and downstream from Sunbury to below Harrisburg in the Susquehanna.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has attributed the problem to a bacterial infection, but the source of that bacteria remains a mystery. Fortunately, the commission says the bacteria -- columnaris, which is caused by environmental or nutritional factors -- posts no threat to humans.

But it´s nevertheless troubling that dead fish are turning up on some of the best bass fishing waters in the United States, and waters used for various recreational purposes and in some cases drinking water in our backyard. And while the smallmouth are the afflicted at the moment, the bacteria can be picked up by other freshwater species; they have been found in smaller numbers on white suckers in the same waters.

Environmentalists hope to find cause of massive fish kill in Bayou Lacombe
03:56 PM CDT on Wednesday, August 10, 2005
Dave McNamara / WWL-TV Reporter

Environmentalists are looking into what's causing thousands of dead fish to turn up on the Northshore in Bayou Lacombe.

The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation agreed with Glockner that a fish kill of this size, involving these types of fish, is usually an indicator that something is wrong.

The dead fish, mostly shad and pogies, began popping up last week on both sides of the Bayou, as far as three-quarters of a mile from the bayou basin, according to local fisherman and restaurateur Cliff Glockner.

“I seen about a hundred, hundred-fifty thousand right here on the top of the water. All stressed, getting ready to die,” Glockner said. “This is the fourth fish kill in a week and a half. It started last Monday and it went for about two days up the bayou. But as the water fell at night, it progressively moved down to a stretch about half-a-mile long.”

Fisheries officials looking into dead white bass

Associated Press

PIERRE, S.D. - State fisheries officials have been investigating unusually high numbers of dead white bass washing ashore on Lake Oahe during the past week.

Robert Hanten, a fisheries biologist with the Game, Fish and Parks Department, said white bass die-offs are unfortunate and messy, but not unprecedented in South Dakota. They've happened in the past on Lake Sharpe and Lake Francis Case, as well as in other parts of the country, he said.

"It is not uncommon to see a few dead fish on a normal day on the water," Hanten said in a release. "But when we get reports of hundreds of dead fish, an investigation is necessary."

Millions of fish dead near Matagorda
Associated Press
MATAGORDA - Millions of small fish have died in the waters of Matagorda Harbor, the Intracoastal Canal and Colorado River in what some in this small coastal community are calling one of the largest local fish kills in recent years.

Recent hot, windless weather has increased water temperatures and lowered the amount of oxygen water can hold, said John O´Connell, Matagorda County marine extension agent.

Sunlight helps microscopic algae in the water produce oxygen. Menhaden, a small bait fish, feed off of the algae and are drawn to the waters in large numbers, O´Connell said.
The demand for oxygen has exceeded production, and the fish have died and risen to the surface, said Willie Younger, a marine education specialist with the Texas A&M Marine Advisory Service.

Fish kills are a natural process but rarely reach the magnitude seen this week, Younger said.

Gulf of Mexico mystery
Wednesday, August 10, 2005

About 20 dead sea turtles have washed ashore in Pinellas County in the past three days, an extremely high number that has doctors and scientists puzzled.

Dive instructor Michael Miller took underwater video to try to figure out the mystery.

"Right now, anywhere we go from shore to 20 miles offshore, from Sarasota to Tarpon Springs, we can´t find a single creature alive on the bottom right now," said Miller.

Miller says he´s never seen such death and devastation under water in his 20 years of diving.

"All the coral, all the sponges, all the crabs, not a single living thing, all the star fish, the brittle stars, everything´s dead," said Miller.

Heat kills thousands of fish on Pebble Lake
By Brandon Stahl

Alan Lunde was boating on Pebble Lake with a colleague on Saturday, July 16, when the two noticed at least two dozen dead fish floating on the water. The next day, Alan and his wife, Carolyn, went out and saw anywhere from 500 to 800.

By Monday night, the residents along the north and east shore of the lake were dealing with a massive fish kill, having to clean up anywhere from 2,000 to 3,000 fish.

"It's never happened before, and it's never happened since," said Steve Rufer, who has lived on the lake since 2003 and from 1991 to 1998.

Thermal stress

The lake's tullibee, a species of cold water fish related to trout and salmon, died off from the warm water temperatures, according to Arlin Schalekamp, the DNR´s Area Fisheries Manager.

Schalekamp said the tullibee need to swim in colder water with higher oxygen levels, but the summer's hot temperatures depleted the oxygen levels, forcing the fish to swim toward the surface where they died from thermal stress.

"It's fairly common," Schalekamp said. "We see it just about every year where we have one or two lakes that have these tullibee."

Fish at VanWinkle Lake dying from lack of oxygen, other woes
By LARRY ESKRIDGE/of the Daily Ledger

Wednesday, August 10, 2005 11:25 AM CDT

Approximately two weeks ago local residents reported a large number of dead fish floating on Van Winkle Lake near Wallace Park.

Rob Hilsbeck of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources said the fish kill was caused by the low oxygen content of the water, brought on by the low water level and the high temperatures. He added that algae blooms also contributed to the problem, and that the lake was not a good habitat because of the high siltation.
Hilsbeck went on to say that the situation was aggravated by the drought conditions. He noted that the heat made a situation where the water could not hold oxygen, and that it could be made worse by a sudden cold front or a brief rain.

Hilsbeck also said the larger fish, because they needed more oxygen, were the first to die.

Oregon

’Dead zone’ may be developing on Oregon coast
August 8, 2005

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Starving birds and fewer fish along the Oregon coast are a warning sign that another seasonal “dead zone” may be developing as a result of global warming, biologists say.

No one is sure why it happened. But leading scientists at Oregon State University blame steadily rising sea temperatures, which increasingly appears tied to human-caused global warming.

“The oceans are generally warming up, and there are all sorts of signs that something strange is afoot,” said Ronald Neilson, an Oregon State professor and U.S. Forest Service researcher who specializes in climate. “It’s not new to have change happen. It’s how suddenly it’s happening.”

A record 181 adult murres turned up dead on a 4.6-mile stretch of beach just south of Newport in July, more than in any other month in the 28 years teams have surveyed the stretch.

Brandt’s cormorants, another fishing bird, have washed up dead at rates 50 to 80 times those of previous years, said Julia Parrish, a University of Washington professor who leads a coastal bird survey.

“It’s just awful,” said William Sydeman, director of marine ecology for the Point Reyes Bird Observatory in California. “It’s just as bad as we’ve ever seen it.”

Fish Are Killed By Chemical in River

An investigation has been launched after thousands of fish were wiped out by a mystery pollutant - for the second time in a year. More than 20,000 fish, mostly young salmon and trout, were found dead in the River Ebbw, in the Crumlin area this week.

Environment Agency officers were alerted on Monday about a mystery chemical being discharged into the river from a drainage culvert.

The pollutant is believed to be some form of detergent which left other wildlife and invertebrates unharmed.

By the time it had reached Cwmcarn it had lost its power to kill, but had already affected four miles of the river.

John Gregory, the agency´s environment manager is appealing for information and help in tracing the pollution source.

He said: ´It´s heartbreaking to see so many fish killed for the second time in a year. We had a similar pollution last August, but were unable to find the source, even with the help of the local authority in searching the drainage system.´

Bekasi seeks cause of dead fish
City News - August 10, 2005

BEKASI: The Bekasi Council urged the Environmental Management Agency to investigate the death of thousands of fish in Kali Bekasi river since Sunday, suspecting untreated industrial waste had polluted the river.

"The agency has to move fast," councillor Heri Koswara was quoted as saying by Antara on Tuesday, "don't wait until one resident becomes a victim of water pollution."

Councillor Muhammad Hasyim Affandi from the council´s Commission B that oversees the environment said that they would ask the agency to submit a report on the cause of the phenomenon.

"It first happened a few months ago at every low tide, we could easily pick up thousands of dying fish in the river," said Muksin, 45, a resident of Margahayu subdistrict. "I don't know what caused it (the death), but they are less tasty compared to fresh ones."

Many fish die of asphyxiation
City News - August 09, 2005

Damar Harsanto, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Fish in the waters around Gosong Sekati, Karya, Panggan and Pramuka islets in the Thousand Islands regency have died due to asphyxiation, according to an Environmental Management Agency statement on Monday.

Kakap (Lates calcarifer), Kerapu (Epinephalus tauvina), Pari (Elasmobranchii) and Sembilang (Plotosus sp) fish were among the species found dead on Friday around the four islets.

"The phenomenon was likely caused by a drop in oxygen content in the water due to a rapid proliferation of the phytoplankton population, which absorbs oxygen in the water," the agency's head Kosasih Wirahadikusumah told The Jakarta Post.

Kosasih said his agency had taken samples of the water from the locations and sent them to the laboratory of the Indonesian Institute of Science's (LIPI) oceanography for examination.

"Hopefully, the laboratory could come up with the result this week and we could know exactly what causes the deaths of the fish," he said.

Head of the Thousand Islands Marine Park Sumarto said that it had been occurring since Friday and was the third major case of its kind this year.

Sea ´dead zones´ threaten fish

BBC News Online environment correspondent in Jeju, Korea

Sea areas starved of oxygen will soon damage fish stocks even more than unsustainable catches, the United Nations believes. The UN Environment Programme says excessive nutrients, mainly nitrogen from human activities, are causing these "dead zones" by stimulating huge growths of algae.

Since the 1960s the number of oxygen-starved areas has doubled every decade, as human nitrogen production has outstripped natural sources. Unep made its remarks as it launched its Global Environment Outlook Year Book 2003.

Thousands of dead fish were found belly up on the Klamath River southwest of Klamath Falls this week, the apparent victims of poor water conditions brought on by hot weather.

Among the dead are some young endangered sucker fish, but most of the fish are tui chubs and fathead minnows, and is no reason for alarm, federal officials said. The fish die-off was reported Tuesday morning by U.S. Bureau of Reclamation scientists, who said it occurred Monday evening.

Dead fish were found on a seven-mile stretch of the Klamath River below Lake Ewauna and in irrigation diversions on the river. The number of dead suckers were estimated to be "several thousand" suckers, said Rae Olsen, Bureau spokeswoman.

"Thousands is the only thing I can tell you," she said.

The dead suckers were found mostly near the Lost River Diversion Channel just south of Klamath Falls, said Roger Smith, fisheries biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Afternoon highs have hovered in the 90s since last Thursday.

"And the day before that it was 86," Smith said.

The warm air makes for hot water. Water in the river was measured at 82 degrees at 4 p.m. Monday.

Suckers can tolerate 75-degree water for quite some time, but it still harms their health, he said.

Fish die-offs are common summertime occurrences that happen because of a combination of low water and high temperatures. When temperatures go up, the water quality goes down because oxygen levels are lowered by decaying algae, Smith said.

Although the warm water and algae blooms can prove fatal for suckers - especially those only about a year old - and tui chubs and fathead minnows, trout usually avoid the danger by swimming to cool pockets of water and away from the algae.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOWVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Three million gallons of liquid manure spilled from a dairy farm and into a nearby river, creating a smelly flow that was blamed for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of fish.

The toxic tide had traveled some 20 miles on the Black River by Friday and was expected to flow past Watertown, a city of 25,000, which shut off its water intake.

Farmers in this dairy-intensive county were warned not to let their cows drink from the river, and emergency officials were trying Friday to flush out the contamination by increasing the flow from the Beaver River, which feeds the Black River.

The process could take a week or two, said Jim Martin, Lewis County's emergency manager.

"If we get some good rain over the weekend, it's going to help a lot. If it stays hot and dry, it's going to stay awhile," Martin said.

The manure spilled from a lagoon at the large Marks Farms late Wednesday or early Thursday when an earthen wall blew out, sending the liquid into a drainage ditch and then into the river, Martin said.

State officials estimated the manure had killed hundreds of thousands of fish, including perch, bass, catfish, shiners and walleye.

The state health department was monitoring the manure. No human illnesses had been reported, Martin said.

No charges had been filed against the farm owners as of Friday morning, he said.

The farm, about 5 miles south of Lowville, is owned by David and Jacquelyn Peck and William Marks, according to federal records. A woman answering the phone there Friday said the owners were not speaking to reporters.

Steven Fuller, who owns a riverside restaurant in Lowville, said his restaurant had many cancellations Thursday. "The smell is your typical dairy air, you might say," he said.

Watertown can draw from a 60 million gallon reserve supply of water through the weekend, if need be, said Brian Gaffney, the city´s treatment plant operator.

The spill was expected to reach Lake Ontario in coming days.

Fourth Fish Kill Investigated in the Region
8/15/2005

Usually a breeze during a hot summer day is a welcomed treat. But over the last several days, The wind has been blowing the scent of dead fish into a Metairie neighborhood. It’s all the result of a fish kill in the 17th street canal.

In a canal best known as a border between Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, silver specks glisten in the water. But take a closer look, and you´ll see the sun shining on dead fish.

In Bucktown workers from the department of environmental quality used a water quality probe to measure temperature and oxygen levels.

"We had identical conditions in Bayou Lacombe last week with the fish kill that occurred there," said John Calvin of the Department of Environmental Quality.

The cause: nothing toxic, according to DEQ. Just high heat and low tide, which means low to no oxygen in the water.

"If there's no oxygen for them, then they're in trouble. They're starved for oxygen and they perished," Jeff Dauzat of the Department of Environmental Quality.

According to DEQ, this is the fourth fish kill in the region.

Cause of Carmel fish kill probed

By MICHAEL RISINIT
THE JOURNAL NEWS
(Original publication: August 16, 2005)

CARMEL —What killed hundreds of fish over the weekend in the Croton Falls Reservoir remained a mystery yesterday.

"Never in my life have I seen anything like it," said Morgan Seymour Jr., 76, a lifelong Carmel resident and avid outdoorsman.

Seymour was describing the 1,000 dead fish — sawbellies, white perch and yellow perch — he saw at the Croton Falls Reservoir floating in the water or washed up on the shore. A retired railroad engineer, he was driving down Stoneleigh Avenue Friday evening when he noticed a mob of gulls and cormorants diving into the water near where the road crosses the reservoir.

"I said to myself, ´That's unusual,´ " Seymour said. "So I turned the car around and went back for a look."

The reservoir is part of New York City's water supply, which delivers drinking water to 9 million people, including part of Putnam County and most of Westchester. City and state environmental authorities yesterday were looking for the cause of the fish kill.

"For now, we just don't know," said Ian Michaels, a spokesman for the city's Department of Environmental Protection. "We had people investigating over the weekend and today."

The DEP oversees the water supply. Ongoing dam construction has lowered the water level by about 50 feet, squeezing the Croton Reservoir's fish into smaller and shallower areas than usual.

Michaels said researchers were testing for various pollutants and looking to see if the construction upstream at the Middle Branch Reservoir released any contaminants into the water. They were also monitoring the reservoir's content of dissolved oxygen — what fish need to survive.

"It seems whatever the condition was has subsided. We're going to keep trying to figure it out." he said.

High temperatures, too little oxygen cited as probable causes for thousands of dead fish found floating in East Rockaway

BY ERIK GERMAN AND SID CASSESE
STAFF WRITERS

August 18, 2005

Several thousand dead fish were found floating yesterday in East Rockaway in a local waterway known as Mill River, a serious die-off state authorities blamed on high temperatures and low oxygen levels in the water.

Officials measured the water temperature at an unusually high 84 to 86 degrees, said Maureen Wren, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Environmental Conservation.

Many residents call it the worst fish kill they've seen in their area. "All the shrimp, the baby bunkers, carp, white perch, striped bass, all dead," said resident Steve Christensen, 57, as he stood on a dock on the Oceanside shore of the river.

Christensen, who added that many crabs also died, said the fish died beginning Tuesday night and he saw them surfacing with mouths gaping, as if gasping for air.

One expert said this may have been exactly what the fish were doing before they expired. "They're trying to bubble more oxygen into the water that passes over their gills," said Gordon Taylor, a biologist at the Marine Sciences Research Center at Stony Brook University. Taylor said marine life often exhibit this behavior when water becomes hypoxic -- when oxygen levels drop dangerously low as temperatures rise.

The DEC and Hempstead town officials also blamed .hypoxia.

"More than likely, it´s a lack of oxygen in the water," said Ron Masters, the Town of Hempstead's commissioner of conservation and waterways.

Lake Koocanusa fish kill investigated
Posted: Thursday, Aug 18, 2005 - 08:40:10 am PDT
By JIM MANN
The Daily Inter Lake

They don't know how it happened, but officials with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks intend to sleuth their way to answers behind a another fish kill on Lake Koocanusa.

"We've seen identical types of kills at least twice before," said Jim Vashro, the department's regional fisheries manager.

The difference this time was a timely report and a quick response that allowed the department's fish health specialist to collect samples of the dead kokanee salmon before they decomposed.

"Obviously, as the fish decompose, any evidence is degraded," Vashro said. "It appears the bulk of the fish died on Sunday and Monday and it was reported late Monday. Our fish health specialist from Great Falls was able to find fish that were still dying on Tuesday, so he got very good samples. The kill involved "thousands" of kokanee salmon, with some odd circumstances.

"What's interesting is every dead fish is an adult kokanee that was getting ready to spawn in about a month," Vashro said. "No other fish species are affected and no young kokanee are affected, so that's kind of peculiar."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its preliminary findings in this spring's dolphin die-off; 107 dolphins died in 35 days here in the Panhandle.

With every dolphin carcass, another piece of the puzzle was discovered, but researchers are still searching for the main picture.

Dr. Teri Rowles with NOAA led the research response effort along the Panhandle.

"It look like they died shortly after ingesting a meal. Many of the animals had whole or partially digested fish in the stomach," he says.

NOAA got involved almost immediately to study this unusual mortality event. This is the third dolphin die-off related to red tide in the Gulf of Mexico, and the second one off the Florida Panhandle. However, this time the animals showed a higher level of brevetoxin, which is produced by red tide.

Ron Hardy, the owner of Gulf World, was the on-site coordinator for the dolphin recovery. He says every bit of information is useful.

"When you take probably the most popular living mammal in the ocean, the whales and the dolphins, to monitor their health and what's going on with them. I think tells us the health of the ocean itself."

NOAA dismissed any link between the die-off and military activity in the Gulf or possible pollutants as a distinctive factor in the dolphin deaths. Hardy says nothing is being taken for granted in this research process, despite taking some time.

"There's a lot of things we've learned that doesn't involve red tide. When you get that many animals and you can do the necropsies and do all the tissue, so we're just learning hundreds and hundreds of things."

The focus now is why the toxin is killing the dolphins and at what level is the toxin potentially fatal, but until all the questions are answered, the puzzle remains unsolved.

Flee Miami

Bro. Kirk Willow, Alaska

Greetings, in Jesus' name. The last time I wrote to God's people on Sept. 12, 2004 my wife Martha was six (6) months pregnant. Today, almost a year later, Sept. 5, 2005, she is now in her eighteenth (18th) month of pregnancy. It is a miracle. It is a sign. The Lord spoke to me in the fall of 2003 and said, "The child is a sign of destruction, before the child is born there shall be destruction in America." This has been fulfilled as New Orleans, Mississippi, and Florida testify.

We shall all perish, except we repent.

God has resigned himself to destroy this nation, He has turned his back to forsake it. Only destruction and misery lie ahead.

Back in the fall of 2004 God spoke to me that he was giving me three (3) signs. The first sign was the child; the sign would be destruction before the birth. The second sign was that Florida would be ravished by the end of September 2004. The third sign was that Miami, Florida would be struck by a brutal blow from the hand of God. It would be overwhelming. Chaos, sorrow, devastation, death, destruction. He had me prophesy against the city.

The first two signs have been fulfilled. Florida was ravished by hurricanes by the end of Sept. 2004. My wife is still with child today and destruction in America has happened in the form of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is gone. Mississippi destroyed. Soon Miami, Florida will be devastated. God has commanded me to warn all his people, Leave Miami, Florida! Flee out of Miami! New Orleans is
your example that God will make waste an entire city. Oh people of God, hear the word of the Lord.

Oh, Miami, Miami,
Hear the word of the Lord.

I will cut off old and young.
I will cut off man and woman.

Your streets shall be full
Of chaos and destruction.

Your pomp shall cease,
Your haughtiness shall be brought low.

And I the Lord
Shall be exalted in judgment.

And ye shall know that I the Lord God, have brought this
Judgment against thee.

A servant of the Lord
Bro. Kirk Willow, Alaska

(Note from Dave: I received the above revelation on 9-22-05 from a sister who questioned the 18-month pregnancy. I was able to confirm it because just five days before in our online Unleavened Bread Bible Study, Leisa Miller shared her testimony of a trying 18-month pregnancy:

18-Month Pregnancy: A Prophetic Sign?

Leisa Miller

Before I begin telling this testimony of faith and of waiting upon the Lord, I would like to thank every one who prayed for me and this baby in Jesus’ name. Back about a year or so now, I had asked for prayer for this baby from all my brothers and sisters in the Unleavened Bread study group. My brothers and sisters there and here have been so faithful to stand in the gap on my behalf while the Lord was teaching me to trust Him. May this glorify the Lord in us all in the days to come.

Exercising Faith

(Lk.1:45) “And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.”

On January 8, 2004, I was awakened by the Spirit of the LORD and was made to know that I was going to have a baby.

I had wanted one, I had been longing for one for some time, but I did not go to the LORD about it, sadly. Instead, I hoped that it would happen. Impatiently I waited. I had talked to my husband but he had said that it was not a good time, that we did not have enough money. But by then I was 31 and I felt like it was now or never. I had no idea what the LORD was about to do in my life.

So I awoke, I was excited and scared. My first thought was, how am I going to tell Pete. (that's my husband). I was sure the LORD had told me. I had no doubt. Two weeks went by. I had not told my husband yet, thinking that he would not believe me anyway, but I was excited. Soon came the time for my cycle to begin. The time came and went.

Years ago, me and my sister-in-law had dreamed that we would be pregnant at the same time. One day while we were sitting together during fellowship, she asked me if there was any chance that I was pregnant. I was surprised. I thought, “How'd she know?”

But then she told me that she was sure that she was pregnant.

Her and my brother had decided to have faith in the LORD about a better job for him so that they could have more children and she could be a wife at home. She believed that right after they agreed that, that night they became pregnant.

(Mt.18:19) “Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.”

I told her that, as a matter of fact, the LORD had woke me to tell me that I was with child two weeks before. She was excited and so we compared dates and discovered that we got pregnant on the same day. We were in awe.

Another week went by and no cycle, then another, then another. Not that I expected it, but the thought of being pregnant was still fairly new and the habit of checking for the cycle was not. One day I was at Meijers and I thought I should get a test. Then I thought, “But the LORD told me I was; what do I need a test for?” Then I thought to talk to the LORD. I said, “LORD I don't want to go to man or man’s ways and act as though I don't believe You, so I need You to give me a sign, a sign that helps me stand on what You already told me. So I pray that You let my license, as I flip it down the aisle, land face up, letting me know that I am as You said I was—with baby.” Now, I was fully prepared to trust the LORD in this, no matter what it said.

So I flipped it—and it landed heads up. I was thrilled! I finished my shopping, all the while thinking about the baby and the LORD and what He was doing. But when I got home, some time between the flip and the arrival home, I found doubt of some sort crept into me, and I said to the LORD, “LORD, please forgive me. I don't want to ask You again but I am struggling. Please give me one more sign that confirms what You have now told me twice.”

(Ex. 4:8) “And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.” So I stood in the hallway of my home and flipped some coins and asked, that if it is still the same as it had appeared to me till then, let the coins flip heads up.

(Pr.18:18) “The lot causeth contentions to cease, And parteth between the mighty.”

They all flipped heads up.

(Isa.46:11) “I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.”

From that point on I was convinced, though my trial had only begun!

The Beginning Of The Trial Of Faith

Soon my sister-in-law was looking for a midwife and she found one who believed in Christ and had been catching babies for years; it was great.. I told my husband and he was excited. Well, into my second month I again was plagued, but not by doubt about being pregnant. Now I was plagued with fears that something was wrong with the baby because of my sin of not going to the LORD for this pregnancy but relying on myself and my ways of having a new little one.

(Mk.4:40) “And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?”

I felt like I had been dishonest to Pete, like I wanted a baby more than I wanted to listen to what he had decided.

(Pr.16:9) “A man's heart deviseth his way; But Jehovah directeth his steps.”

Although this was not me or who I was any more, it was how I was acting at the time and my conscience was convicted and in utter fear.

Finally, one day just after the turning of my second month, I was pressed down with guilt and fear.

(Mk.4:40) “And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?”

I asked the LORD if something was wrong with the baby. He said, “Yes.” I asked Him if it was because of the sin on me. He said, “Yes.” I asked Him if I had to confess this. He said, “Yes.” I asked Him if I could confess it to my mom. He said, “No.” I knew He was going to say no. I wanted to ask Him if I could confess it to my sister-in-law, but I knew that He would say no to that to because I knew I needed to confess it to Pete. So I asked Him, “Must I confess this sin to Pete?” Of course, He said, “Yes.”

In James 5:16 the Lord says, “Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.”

I was even more scared now; to say to my husband that I had not cared what he wanted was frightening to me. I was 55 minutes away from home and needed to tell him as soon as I arrived. The drive home was hard and got harder the closer I got to home, but I arrived and did not wait to begin. I knew it would take me some time to actually get it out of my mouth. By the time I got home, I felt like I could cry, but I made myself not, telling myself that I was not going to cry because it might make my husband have compassion for me because I had not been truthful and now am facing the consequences.

So I said to him, “Pete, I need to tell you something.” I tried for what seemed like forever to say it but I kept looking for ways to break it to him easy, but there were no easy ways to be found. So, finally, I said it. To my surprise, to my complete surprise, my husband bent over me and kissed me on the head and said, “What's done is done.”

Strangely, I was frustrated, quietly uneasy; I felt like I needed to suffer more for how I had been, for what I had done. The LORD was merciful through my husband that day. So after a few days, because I was new to faith and the ways of GOD, I felt like I should ask my husband to lay his hands on my belly and bless the baby because he had forgiven me. My faith I felt was not sufficient to believe that all was well, but my husband would not. He had a hard time with faith, too. So I mustered up the courage to go to the LORD and asked Him to honor my prayer prayed according to His word.

(Mk.11:24) “Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”

So I placed my hands on my tummy and prayed that Spirit of life and health come into this little one.

(Rom.4:17) “God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were.”

Afterward I asked the LORD to give me a sign from the Bible to stand on, that my faith would be strengthened, and I opened my Bible and this is what I put my finger on: (John 16:21) “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.”

(Lk.1:45) “And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.”

I was astounded and thankful and joyous and renewed. I believed again.

(Heb. 11:1) “Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.”

Over the next nine months, my sister-in-law and I grew in all ways the same, each with our baby inside. I enjoyed all the new and strange sensations happening in my body, and it was awesome to call up my sister and to hear how she was having them all, too. It was like we were in our own little baby world. But at the same time I went in and out of faith.

Although the baby moved and I grew and my belly stretched and I gained weight, the struggle in my flesh was intense. Oftentimes, just to try somehow to escape the things in my mind, the fears, the thoughts, all the “what ifs,” I would ask the Lord questions by lot. One night things were so hard, I don't remember how it started, all I know is that I couldn't fight it. I ended up asking the Lord questions I already knew the answers to, but in doubt from fear and the enemy, I could not resist. God taught me much; this night was a hard lesson. I don't quite remember well everything thought or asked, but basically this is what I do remember.

I was past the laying on of my hands on my belly, I was trying to stand on the sign given to me in John 16:21, but being still very young in the Word in and in the Faith, I was just learning how to fight. I didn't yet know how to need His mercy so often. I didn't yet know how to constantly believe Him. As I began asking questions, He would answer quite faithfully, reminding me in my weakness what He had already said was done.

In my doubt I asked MANY “what ifs,” only to discover that He began answering me according to what I was believing. I didn't see that that is what it was—yet. Afraid and lacking faith and confused, I called my sister in the Lord, crying. Many times the Lord has helped me though those who are trusting Him when I am struggling, too. She reminded me what He had said to me before, and told me that He longs for us to believe Him, no matter what it feels like, looks like, or sounds like. She reminded me of the Scriptures that tell of a man of God who was told (1 Kings 13:9) "[F]or so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.” But he went back with a prophet that said (1 Kings 13:18 “[A]n angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.” (19) So he went back with him and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.” So because of his disobedience or unbelief of the Lord, he perished.

A fear of our Father came over me and I repented for asking Him these questions in disbelief of Him, and He renewed my faith in His word.

The Next Trial of Faith Begins

At the end of my third month I began going to visit the midwife that my sister-in-law had found. So I was getting prenatals and advice from her about the baby and the pregnancy.

One night, we went to the midwife's house for a Bible study, and she asked me and my sister to give our testimony about how we had been delivered from witchcraft and as the night when on I found myself giving my testimony about the little one growing within me. My flesh resisted for fear of looking silly but it had no chance against the Spirit of the LORD, who strengthened and encouraged me to tell this to the group. For this group it was a strange thing to hear and it was reflected on their faces. But I was filled with faith.

(Heb.12:1) “Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”

Interestingly, my midwife shared with me and Jenni a story about a woman who was living, I think, in China, and was in hiding because she was pregnant with a baby girl. She was a Christian and she asked the Lord to keep her pregnant till she could get to some place safe. Not sure where she made it to, but Chantel told us that she remained pregnant for 13 months and delivered a health baby. She said this was a miracle because after a month of being overdue, it is said that the baby will not get enough oxygen because the placenta will begin to fail. And this testimony came even before any of us could have known what the Lord was going to do.

During my first prenatal, my midwife found the heartbeat of the baby briefly. But by this time I could tell that my testimony was working some doubt in her, and it was hard for both her and I to bear it, now.

My sister and I left, and I went home feeling like I didn't want to go back. I just wanted to believe the LORD and not listen to the disbelief of others. In my fourth month, I went again to a prenatal, and this time she could not find the baby’s heartbeat. And for a month, the way I felt when I was near her was heavy on me and working nothing good in me.

(1 Pet.1:7) “[T]hat the proof of your faith, [being] more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” On the way home from the fourth-month visit, I talked to my sister, and she shared with me what she saw the LORD doing and I could see it. I became excited for my midwife, who was also having her faith tested and tried. I could see what was happening once again for a short time.

I began talking to my midwife on the phone as friends. She shared with me how the LORD had showed her in a dream three or five years before that she was going to have three more babies, and that since that time, her and her husband had been trying without any success. I confided in her that if she would go to the LORD and believe that He would do what she asked Him to do, what, in fact, He said was already done in her dream, that He would do it. She said to me that she was afraid of going to the LORD for fear of what He would say to her, ‘cause she really wanted a baby.

I could tell that she wanted to believe my testimony, but also struggled. Her and her husband had been going to a fertility clinic to see if they could increase their chances of conceiving. For years, she took a medication that was supposed to make her get pregnant, but it did not. I reminded her that all good things come down from heaven and no matter how much we want something, we can’t get it from nowhere but from GOD. She agreed, sounding sadly like she thought that GOD had forgotten her. Then some time passed.

Another prenatal came, and this time she could not hear the heartbeat again. She was discouraged because I was convinced that the Lord would bring what He said was done.

(Isa.66:9) “Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah: shall I that cause to bring forth shut [the womb]? saith thy God.”

Again I went home, my flesh not wanting to return, it forgetting that GOD was in control and had good reason for all that was happening. I was blinded by it too often. I was slowly going into depression.

During my fourth month, I began feeling the little one move within me so strong that often I believed that it alone was keeping me from doubting altogether that I was pregnant.

I was faithful in the fear of the Lord at my prenatals.

(Ps.111:10) “The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom.”

My midwife would use her baby heart finder and I was determined to only speak and agree with the LORD, knowing that I stand before Him and not before man.

(Jer.17:5) “Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.”

Believing the Unseen Over the Seen

(2 Cor.4:18) “[W]hile we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

So, at my fifth prenatal, things were uneasy. It came and went with almost no words but a lot of tension. As she was again looking and looking for the baby’s heartbeat, the baby was kicking up a storm in there. I could feel more than could be seen, but oftentimes you could see my belly bump up and down in different places. Once, during the checking for the heartbeat, in all her frustration with me not agreeing with her equipment that there was no heartbeat to be found, the baby kicked the Doppler. Not only could you hear the sound of the kick, you could see the Doppler bump up. She looked down at my belly, confused. There it was, the sign for her. She appeared to quickly brush it off, but to my brother and sister-in-law who were there with me, the look on her face was clear acknowledgement of something not understood by her. I was excited. I thought maybe now she can believe. The end of the fifth month had been less challenging. The baby was moving; the midwife saw and heard him move. I was thankful for the rest that my mind had for those brief days, but I had no idea what was to come.

During my sixth-month prenatal visit, the Doppler told the same old story. On top of that, she also could not find the top of what is called the fundus, the top of my womb. It seems that the LORD did hide things from her. But just days before, my two sisters-in-law had had me lay on the floor to feel the baby and they located my fundus right away, right where it was supposed to be. My midwife must have been so frustrated because I believed GOD and would not accept what was apparent to her.

After she had finished checking me out she sat down and said to me, “Do you think that GOD could have lied to you so that you would stop protecting yourself from getting pregnant so that He could then get you pregnant?” I heard what she said but didn't comprehend what she had said right away. My sister-in-law laughed. She was immediately aware of what the midwife had suggested. Then it hit me and I said to her, “Did you just ask me if the LORD lied to me?”

(2 Cor.4:13) “But having the same spirit of faith, according to that which is written, I believed, and therefore did I speak; we also believe, and therefore also we speak.”

I said to her the Bible says that He cannot lie: (Ps.119:89) “For ever, O Jehovah, Thy word is settled in heaven.” (Ps.89:34) “My covenant will I not break, Nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” (Heb.6:18) “[I]t is impossible for God to lie.” And that I walk by faith and not by sight. If the LORD said it, then He meant it, no matter what we can see.

(2 Cor.5:7) “[F]or we walk by faith, not by sight.”

She said, “Ooookay,” with a sigh, then soon after, we left. We knew that this was trying her faith, as well as mine and everyone else who knew.

(Jas. 1:3) “[K]nowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. (4) And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.”

The confession I had given her seemed to quicken me.

(Mt.10:32) “Every one therefore who shall confess me (speak the same as me) before men, him will I also confess (speak the same) before my Father who is in heaven. (33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.” (Heb. 10:23) “[L]et us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised." (Rom. 1:17) “But the righteous shall live by faith.” (Rom.10:10) “[F]or with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

I was clearly thinking and aware that it was not I that lived but that Christ lived in me and I was not my own.

(Gal. 2:20) "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me."

I had struggled with double-mindedness—(Jas.4:7) “Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. (9) Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. (10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.”—tempted often to believe man to make it easier on me, but I loved Him and I did believe Him, even when things from all directions would come to try to convince me otherwise.

(Lk. 7:47) “Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same] loveth little.”

Days later, I was going about my day when the thought passed me that Chantel (my midwife) was going to call and tell me that she could not be my midwife any more. Right after the thought, the phone rang. I came rushing out of the bedroom, saying, “It’s my midwife; I got it.” I answered and there she was, saying exactly what I had heard. The brief heads-up from the LORD was just enough for me to be prepared in Him to talk to her. So I said to her, “Okay, but can I call you when I go into labor? She laughed out loud, and sounding baffled, said, “Yes.” So now I was without a midwife.

I hoped it would go over well with my husband. When I told him, it was a relief to him at least that she said that we could call her. He was kind of upset with her because he felt like she must not be a very good midwife if she could not tell that I was with baby at six months. I knew that she was good at what she did, but the LORD wanted her and I both to become good at trusting in Him.

The next three months were busy and exciting. I shared this with my bother Phillip and my sister Niki before Niki left to go to Dakota to visit her family. I could tell that although my faith in these moments was stronger than it had been, I could feel doubt coming from them. Not intentional, for they both were trying to believe that I was pregnant, even though my midwife was kept from being able to prove it with man’s ways. More my brother, than my sister, at this time because my sister had felt the little one kick before she left.

Then we went camping in August and prepared for the little one to be here. I thought of baby names. My husband wanted a common name and we did not know if it was going to a boy or a girl. I found name after name; he did not like any of them. Then one day he said to me, I have a name for a boy but I don't want to tell you what it is. So weeks went by and one day he told me. Joshua David was what my husband had chosen, knowing others by this name. I was surprised that he chose it and the neatest thing to me was that He didn't even know what this name meant or that it was our Lord’s name translated into our language.

One day we found online at a midwifery site a testimony of Chantel’s. It went like this. “The LORD told me that I was going to have more children. My husband and I have been trying for years. We began to go to fertility treatments with no success. One day we went and the doctor suggested removing my eggs and fertilizing them and then selecting the one that we wanted and discarding the rest. My husband took me aside and said, ‘How far are we going to take this? Do you want a baby so bad that you would kill some of your children to have one?’ She said she cried and said to him, ‘Whatever you decide, that I will abide in no matter what it is.’ He said to her, ‘I think the LORD will do it the old fashioned way.’ That night they went home and got pregnant—hallelujah!

I was so happy for her. And by the faith of her husband did their son Israel David come to be among us.

(Heb. 11:1) “Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.”

Pete and I were growing in anticipation. It was October now and the little one would soon be here, and my sister-in-law's, as well.

Soon the news came. Jeni had had her baby, Zayne Zipporiah Daniel Burns. I was so excited. For weeks I had been having false labor. I knew my time was right around the corner. Within a week my contractions came; I went to my mom’s and they kept coming. Then they stopped.

Days later they began again, very strong. On this day my sister-in-law and brother took me to Chantel’s to see if she could check and see if I had begun to dilate. She agreed to see me. As we arrived, I fought the thoughts in my head and went in.

(2 Cor.10:4) “([F]or the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

She checked me. This time she found my fundus. She was surprised and when she checked me found that I was dilated to two. Again she looked confused. I thanked her and left. But the contractions stopped again. This time they stopped and it seemed like they stopped for good.

(Lk. 12:48) “And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required.”

I left my mom’s house and went home. At home my thoughts were burdening and I found that I could not fight them.

(1 Chr.28:9) “[F]or Jehovah searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found of thee.”

The storm of intrusive thoughts was unrelenting. Thoughts such as, “See, you’re not pregnant; there's just something wrong with you,” or, “Your baby’s dead, that's why your labor has stopped,” etc. As weeks went by, I was loosing hope. The baby moved within but it almost never seemed to be enough to hush the thoughts of, “What will people think?” I often heard, “People will think you are a liar.”

(Rom.3:4) “God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified (accounted righteous) in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.”

I knew how to fight these words. I knew the promises to stand on. I knew that the world calls faith a lie. I knew—but I was weak.

(2 Cor. 12:9) “[My] power is made perfect in weakness.”

I could not fellowship. I could not see others with out crying. I could not talk. I was in a darkness and I felt like the LORD had forgotten me. I could not ask for prayer. I was so far away that at times I did not think anything or anyone could help. My brethren just thought that I was not fellowshipping ‘cause I was miserably pregnant. I grew sick. I began coughing and wheezing. For weeks I was in bed, just sleeping. It was the only way to escape the thoughts and voices that plagued me, I thought.

I tried to tell my husband. He was so very patient, but telling him did not help me feel better, or so it seemed to me. Two-and-a-half months went by and I did not fellowship.

(1 Cor.1:27) “[B]ut God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; (28) and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, [yea] and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are: (29) that no flesh should glory before God.

Then my sisters began to come to my house, right into my room, and sat on my bed and fellowshipped with me. I told them honestly that I did not want them there. They said they knew but it did not matter; what I need and what I want are two different things. They came three times, and as the third month came for me to be what I thought was over due, I was very sick.

So one day my husband said to me, “Leisa, have you noticed that since you stopped fellowshipping that you have been sick, and that every time you use being sick as an excuse to not fellowship, you get more sick?” I knew, as in times before, that the LORD had come and spoke to me though my husband the very words that would convict my conscience of what was right, and I did not like it. I was being comfortable—my sickness and depression was more comfortable then facing any of the possibilities that the intrusive thoughts had suggested.

I really needed help. But I love the LORD, so I in my conscience went to my mom’s house to fellowship. Then in the car on the way there, the LORD spoke to me as I was singing to HIM. He spoke to me in my thoughts. He said, “Be it done unto you according to your faith; this is what has been happening with you and your brother.” And .I was filled with faith and strengthened.

(Phl.4:13) “I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.”

(Mt. 17:20) “And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

(Mt. 8:13) “And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee.”

(Mt. 9:22) “But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole.”

(Mt. 9:29) “Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you.”

During my twelfth month I had a dream that was like one that I had in my third month. In my third month I dreamed that I was having the baby. I was at the end of my bed on the floor and my midwife was there to catch. My husband was in the bed but he left the room. I had the baby. It was a girl. While my midwife sat on the bed with the girl, on the floor was a baby boy. But it was an egg, and my midwife said to me, “Let’s put this one back for later.”

Then, later in my twelfth month, I dreamed again that I was at the end of my bed having the baby, only this time my husband was catching and I had a boy.

When I spoke to my sister on the phone, the Lord gave to us a revelation of what the dreams meant. Since the bearing of a child represents bearing fruit, the bearing of a boy child represents the Man child or the fruit of Christ. Through the knowledge the Lord has given us to see on these dreams, He showed us that if I were to of had the child in the natural time, I would have not bore the fruit of Christ: the patience and longsuffering, the faith, and death of my old man. He truly is amazing and faithful to His children to provide the perfect opportunities for bearing good fruit!

My brother Dan was also dealing with faith and trusting in the LORD for answered prayer that was not yet seen. All of sudden I could see it—faith is faith—whatever you’re believing, that is what will be done unto you. Suddenly the 12 months became clear to me. I had been double-minded, unwittingly. I believed the LORD but sometimes acted as if I didn't, out of fear mostly.

(Mk.4:40) “And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?”

I was getting a lesson in faith, not only how to have it but how to walk it. I often felt foolish but determined, scared but excited. To the world I sometimes looked crazy but to the LORD in those times I looked righteous because I believed Him.

(Gal. 3:6) “Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness.”

To the LORD I sometimes looked like a frightened child that wanted to trust Him completely but was just learning how. I was overwhelmed that day driving down the road, and suddenly I realized that I was healed! I was no longer sick. When I got to my mom’s, I told them about what the LORD had said to me and they were excited.

(Lk.22:31) “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat: (32) but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not; and do thou, when once thou hast turned again, establish thy brethren.”

Phone calls started poring in at the homes of those believing with me, not many called me though. After the expected due date, I appeared to stop gaining weight. The baby moved about the same as before, as happy as could be within me. I was content in the LORD finally. Sometimes some fears would rise up in me, but not as before. These fears came as a, “What will I say to those who cannot understand faith?” I had no idea, so I gave it to the LORD and He always either gave them ears to hear or peace about the whole thing. It was amazing watching Him work everywhere. Truly blessings abounded, even in unbelievers. Day by day I walked with the LORD. Sometimes He would tell me things that would make things more clear. As time went by He was always there as I trusted Him to prepare me before the storms. One day, as I was cleaning the house, He said to me, “No one knows the day or the hour.” It caused me to think about how many people were waiting and wondering, waiting for this baby to be born or wondering if it ever would be, much like the coming of Christ. People waiting for Him to come and others wondering if He really will. It was an awesome thing.

My sister Niki returned from Dakota around my twelfth or thirteenth month, I forget, but when she returned she was shocked that I did not have the baby yet. I could hear the doubt in her voice as I talked with my brother on the phone. I swallowed my frustration and gave her and my brother my love then went to visit them.

When I got there, I was surprised. Between the phone call and the moment I arrived to their home, they had been filled with faith. My brother Phil said to me things like, “Who's to say how long a person can be pregnant?” Phil often would hear the people at work talking about how I must not really have been pregnant way back then, or that I just must have been really wrong about the date we thought it was supposed to be. Phil quite faithfully stood in the gap and said to them, “All things are possible in Christ,” and showed himself to be content and faithful to believe the Lord as well, despite how crazy it made him look to others..

It seemed to me that His faith helped his wife's faith about it, too, and when they saw me I could feel not only the awe for the Lord and His work, but their faith in the miracle inside me.

This is the interesting twist. Niki got pregnant while I was pregnant. I was thought to be due in October on the 8th of 2004 and she was thought to be due in March 2005. I was pregnant before she was and pregnant still after she had her baby. And still Niki's faith remained strong. Also, my sister Jenni, who became pregnant on the same day as me, was said to be due October 8th as well. She gave birth to her daughter in October 2004 and then became pregnant again six weeks later and is now just ten weeks after my baby was born. She is overdue to have her new one. God is awesome.

Here in my thirteenth or fourteenth month, my Roy was really worrying. He wanted me to go to the doctor and, with tears in his eyes, he said to me that he did not want to lose me. I looked up to him and said, “Roy, I am not my own. I was bought with a price, and this baby is of the LORD and it’s not for me to say what should or should not be done. I believe GOD, and GOD said to me, (Jn. 16:21) “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.” (Lk. 1:45) “And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.”

I said to him, “God said that this baby would be born, and that I was not of this world but of heaven, and the natural laws of this world do not apply to those who believe the Creator and abide in Him.” He hugged me and then we all watched the faith of GOD grow in him; it was awesome.

One day we were going to have a family barbecue. My sisters that I had not seen since before I thought that I was due in October were going to be there. I talked to Pete (my husband) and told him that I was having a problem. I wanted to see my sisters and I wanted to go to the barbecue, but I did not know what I was going to say to them. My husband said to me, “Well, you know that you could not have been pregnant this whole time.” I said to him, “I know that we don't talk about this kind of stuff offended and it is not my will that you should believe what I believe. But I know what the LORD told me and I have to and I want to stand before Him and not man.”

(Jer.17:5) “Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.”

When I am face-to-face with Him, I don't want the shame of having not believed Him when He has always been faithful to me. So then my husband said to me, “Well, then just tell that we are saving for college by not having to buy diapers.” We both laughed and ever since then he would always joke about how he was going to name the baby Slow Poke for making us wait so long to meet him. Again we ALL watched the faith of GOD grow in this man, as well. Hallelujah! So I went to the barbecue in faith, and when I arrived every one who had not seen me had peace upon them. They asked me how overdue I was. I told what it seemed like and they had no reservations other than I must be miserable. Everyone took turns feeling the baby move and watching my belly move with the playful one inside. It was a great day. Sometimes I see how silly I am after I see what the LORD can do.

In my sixteenth month I had been for months praying that the Lord would send chastening to me for some sin that I had gotten into. I had been struggling with a sin that I myself had been trying to defeat until the Lord reminded me that I could not myself stop the sin that was in my flesh, and that I could do nothing without Him but could do all things in Him. So I stopped trying to stand up against this sin myself and asked the Lord to bring judgment on my flesh and to teach me by example how to take dominion over this land.

Finally the correction came. At first I did not know that that is what it was. I had developed shingles, and I was miserable. It was all down the left half of my face and it spread into my eye. My face looked like it had been severely burned. Now in the past, I had had a problem with looking things up on the computer and getting information that I really did not need in the Lord, with all kinds of things pertaining to my pregnancy because of my fears. Apparently, I had not learned my lesson.

My face itched and burned. The Lord had informed me that this was an answer to my prayer. Truly I was thankful and excited, but after some time had passed, the misery of it became what I thought was unbearable. I began to look up on the computer my symptoms to see what it was that I had. I found it, then I read about it. I began to reason that I had suffered and now I was ready to have some relief. This is what I found out. Shingles is like herpes. It is incurable. It is spread from person to person. Yet I knew no one and had no contact with any one who had it. It takes three to seven weeks to clear up IF you go to the doctor for meds. If it gets into your eye, it has a 98% chance of causing you to go blind. If you get it in the latter part of your pregnancy and the sores are open when you deliver, you won’t have built up antibodies for the little one to have and the baby has a high chance of being born with serious health problems or even death.

Now here comes a side trial. I was trying not to be worried. I did not want to tell my husband all the things that I found because I thought he might make me go to the doctor. I figured that if I was not going to have faith, I may need to go, but I wanted to have faith and I was miserable at the same time. I was not sleeping at all; the pain and itching was too intense. The sin I was in this mess of was certainly turned away from me but now because I found out that there is no cure, I felt like the Lord would not mind if I relieved myself some in order to sleep constantly.

I was looking on line for something to help me. You’re not going to believe what I found, too; here goes. I found that vitamin C helped something and some other something like it helped something else. I reasoned vitamin C comes from oranges, I eat oranges. And the other thing comes from green veggies. I eat those, too; just not enough to get out of them all that I would need to have the relief I want from this. So I got some and I took some.

Somehow the swallowing of these pills did not seem to wake me up since it has been around five years since I have taken any kind of pill. But I did. I kept thinking if I have open sores on my body when this baby is born, something bad could happen, as if the Lord was not in control. I tell ya, my mind was in some kind of place. Anyway, one night after suffering for around six days, I was on the computer and the Lord brought to my remembrance all of a sudden “Pharmakia.” I WAS SCARED. I used to be a witch; I knew what that was and now I was in it.

If I had thought before that this disease that I had had was some how going to hurt this baby, disregarding what the pills I was taking was going to do and forgetting that the Lord knew I would do all of this, now my conscience was in full swing and aware of what I had been doing, stripped of all the reasoning and justification.

I went right to my knees talking to the Lord, crying out to Him like I needed to be doing all along. So I prayed. I said to Him that I was sorry that I did not come to Him, that I had sought my own works to save myself from discomfort, forgetting that He was the God of all comfort. I prayed to Him telling Him that corrective infirmity was so difficult to bear and remembered at the same time that it was what I prayed for and was thankful for. It helped me to see that I would have to turn to Him when I was week. So in my now increased weakness and tears I asked Him to heal me, forgiving me for my sin. I believed. I knew that in confessing my sin and repenting of it, He was faithful to forgive me and to heal me. So I said to Him, “Father, I pray that You confirm Your promise in and show me in Your word that I am healed; that I may, no matter what I see, stand on what You have done. I opened my Bible and this is what my finger fell upon.

(Jer. 30:14) “All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. (15) Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. (16) Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that despoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. (17) For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah.”

Needless to say, I was healed. The next day I woke up and it was much better, the redness in my face was abated and not itching or burning. It had only been one week not three or seven and no doctors. Although I took pills, there was no cure for what I had and only the Lord could have removed it just as fast as He had given it because He uses all things together for our good.

By the seventeenth month I had begun to grow impatient again. Every day I dreamed about holding my little one, about the day he would be born, about labor and delivery. I became discouraged and still with child. Then conviction about not waiting upon the LORD came—

(Lam.3:25) “Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. (26) It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.”

—and I knew that I had to confess my impatience.

In James 5:16 the Lord says, “Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.”

Once I did, I saw and remembered that no one knows the day or hour. I guess I had forgotten that GOD was in control.

Then a day came.

In my eighteenth month, on Sunday the 10th of July, contractions came. My husband checked me and I was dilated to 5 and the plug of my womb had come out. My sisters and my mothers came. For six or so hours I was in labor. The labor was hard and steady. As the hours went by, one of my sisters began to read to me a book called Hinds’ Feet on High Places. As she read, my contractions slowed AGAIN to nothing, then they were gone. I had felt the baby move down very low and lodge in my pelvis, but everyone went home except for my mother-in-law, who stayed till the next Friday and then had to go home. It was a very long week. Then my mom came to stay with me. The next day, my sister-in-law came over and her and my mom and I went to Meijer. On the way back home, my water broke in her car.

I was in disbelief. It was happening! I was scared and somehow felt like I was not ready, but the time had come just like the Lord had promised. Labor began and what I thought was hard before was nothing. The pangs came harder and harder, lasting longer and longer and coming faster and faster. My pain was so intense that I could not talk, I could not think. I could do nothing but hope to get though each one as it came.

(Isa.26:17) “Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, O Jehovah. (18) We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.”

My brethren there with me would ask me questions, but I couldn’t reply; it was like I was not really there. In the beginning the pangs were hard but nothing compared to how it would get. .I kept thinking, “Who can endure?”

(Mt. 24:13) “But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.”

(2 Tim. 2:10) “Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.”

Who will be able to remain unto the end when the tribulation of the saints, that is likened to the travail of a woman, comes?

(1 Thes. 5:3) “When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.”

I saw in my travail a vision of some saints going into darkness, forgetting to cry out to the LORD, not knowing how to trust him, just wanting the pain to end, being tempted by man and thoughts to seek relief outside of the LORD. The pain was all there was, nothing else could be seen. I saw this before my pain got bad.

(John 16:21) “A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.”

At moments I thought I would die; I thought it would not end. I had no sense of anything or anyone: only pain, only suffering, only agony. All my brethren stood around me. Some were excited though and longed to deliver me. All were in prayer, some were scared, some were worried. They all comforted each other in faith. None could comfort me.

Sometime after ten, I began to push. After pushing for about 3-1/2 hours, Pete checked to see if he could feel the baby down low. To his surprise, he could feel my cervix again and told me. I suddenly was frightened. In the moments between my contraction, I cried out for Jenni, my sister, to come to talk to me. I said to her, “Say something to me, say something...he felt my cervix...say something.” I couldn't say much more through four contractions. I got that much out, but she understood. She said to me, “Leisa, it’s okay, the LORD is in control. Don't walk by sight, walk by faith. He can overcome anything. Don't worry about what things seem to be; just do what you need to do and the LORD will take care of the rest.”

The LORD had comforted me through her perfectly. At the hearing of the good news, I was encouraged to keep pushing without fear. At 4:45, I had been in the tub for hours. I felt like the baby was not coming. I had been pushing for over six hours and was exhausted, too exhausted to go on. I cried out to my Father in heaven. I said to Him in my mind, “The baby is not turned; I can feel that he is not coming down. LORD, I need You to turn him so he can come. I can’t go on. I need You to strengthen me...help me…I’m dying….”

(Ps.34:17) “[The righteous] cried, and Jehovah heard, And delivered them out of all their troubles. (18) Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit. (19) Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.”

After I prayed, I got out of the tub and had needed to sit, still pushing. Something began to happen. I felt a burning...a deep burning...torturous yet welcome, burning. I knew, though I had never felt anything like it before, that the baby was coming down. Every contraction that came, I fought. I don't want to push…it’s too painful—I want to push, the baby is coming. I would struggle each time and overcome and push, and found that each time I overcame, strength came into me and I was giving thanks, every minute I was thankful.

(Phl.4:4) “Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.”

(Epe.5:20) “[G]iving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father.”

I felt the LORD with me. Then, suddenly, I felt the baby’s head crown. My mother called my husband and he came quick into the bathroom, opened the shower door, and said to me, “Leisa, push!” I did, and the baby was delivered into the arms of his dad. As Joshua's dad held him, at first he did not breathe, but there was no fear in my husband. With confidence and love, he held him and patiently helped him to breathe. Moments passed and my mom called my sister. My sister said to tell the baby to breathe in the name of Jesus. My mom told my mother-in-law and she commanded the baby to breathe in Jesus’ name. He breathed.

(Jn.14:12) “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. (13) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

Then I took my son into my arms, and him and I took a bath, and rested.

(Heb.4:3) “For we who have believed do enter into that rest.”

(Jn.11:40) “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the glory of God?”

(Lk.1:45) “And blessed [is] she that believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.”

Three days later, as I was resting in bed, the Lord laid on my mind these things, signs of a perfect deliverance of the LORD, that we can rest in HIM, and I’m sure is a shadow of things to come.

(Gen.8:4) “And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.”

Not sure yet what the meaning is, but it is only two times that the seventeenth day is mentioned and the only time that the seventh month and seventeenth day is mentioned at the same time.

Joshua was born in the 7th month

on the 17th day

in 2005...2+5 =7.

He was the 7th person in the house that night.

He was born at 5:20...5+2 = 7

and he weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz...6+8 = 14...2/14 = 7

and measured 21 inches long...3/21 = 7

My water broke at 3:15...first 7 hours begins

I began pushing at 10:15...second 7 hours begins

He was born at 5:20 am...second 7 hours ends

14 hours of travail...2/14 = 7

76 weeks & 3 days with child...7+6+3 = 16...1+6 = 7

His whole name is Joshua David Miller = 17 letters

His name transliterated is Joshua David Miller =706

òùàãàåéãîéììø, 7/706=100.6=7

777 = "Church of God" (1 Tim.3:15). "Tabernacle of God" (Rev.21:3).

January 8, 2004...to...July 17, 2005

365 31 28 31 30 31 30 9 = 5 5 5 days with child

5 is the number of Grace

5, 5s is the number of Grace multiplied by Grace.

555 is the gematria for God.

(Rom.1:17) “The righteous shall live by faith,” for we have nothing that we did not receive from Him. (1 Cor.4:7) “For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?”

I thank the Lord for all that He has taught us.

Leisa Miller

(Note from David: Some have questioned an 18-month pregnancy but just a few days after Leisa gave this testimony on our broadcast, God sent this testimony of another 18-month pregnancy from someone we didn’t know.)

Greetings, in Jesus' name.

The last time I wrote to God's people on Sept. 12, 2004 my wife Martha was six (6) months’ pregnant. Today, almost a year later, Sept. 5, 2005, she is now in her eighteenth (18th) month of pregnancy. It is a miracle. It is a sign. The Lord spoke to me in the Fall of 2003 and said, “The child is a sign of destruction, before the child is born there shall be destruction in America.” This has been fulfilled as New Orleans, Mississippi, and Florida testify.

We shall all perish, except we repent.
