A Prophetic Word From Hilda “Safety in the Cleft of the Rock”

Prophetess hilda arredondo

Dear Ministry Friends, In Luke 21:36, it reads, “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” The “key words” here in this scripture are to “watch and pray always”.  If we do, then we will be able to escape all these things that shall come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man.  What are some of these things?  They are the signs in the sun, moon, stars, and on the earth distress of nations, the sea and the waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing for fear, and much more.  When we look around today we also hear of wars and rumors of wars, killings, murder, thefts, and terrorism, destroying winds and storms, and much more.  But again I’m reminded that we are told in the Word of God to “watch and pray always” in spite of all the threatening “evils” we hear about in this world. Here in America we are being surrounded with all these same dangers.   

As God’s people  we are comforted in that Jesus promised to keep His eye on us protecting us from all harm.  We can be assured that He is a Mighty God who will keep His wonderful promises to us.  But we also have our part--and that is to stay close to Him and His presence.  It is His presence that will surround, keep and protect us.  My first strong noticeable encounter with His presence was many years ago.  

Our Testimony: We had had our devotions and breakfast there at a motel in Gonzales, La. and were headed towards New Orleans for another speaking engagement. Suddenly we began to pray so fervently and moved into the high praises.  My husband, who was driving, and I just looked at each other, like - what is going on; we just finished praying and here we are in the high praises again.  I had discerned in my Spirit as I was praying that a man was going to try to shoot at us.  I didn’t say anything to my husband because I knew it might upset him and possibly not believe me.  

Suddenly there was a horn that beeped at us on our driver’s side.  I looked and saw a little bald headed man in an older red truck.  I screamed and said, “Jose, that man has a gun in his hand pointed at us, ready to shoot.”  There was little or no traffic and Jose immediately dropped back behind him.  The man kept turning around in his seat and trying to get a good aim at us.  Now all this was happening so fast.  Jose said, “We will have to pass him up.”  You see, we were on those long bridges in Louisiana with no exit.  As they say, Jose put the pedal to the metal and we flew around him when I heard two shots on my side as we sped by.  Immediately I went down on the floor, squeezing into the cubby hole area under my feet.  A few minutes later as I looked back, I could see Jose had left him way back on the highway till we could not see him anymore.  Finally when we were off the bridges, we stopped to look at our van.  We surely expected to see some bullet holes but there were none to our surprise.  

The Holy Spirit revealed to me that when we went up in the high praises and fervent prayer we had pulled the SHIELD of Almighty God down around us and the bullets could not penetrate us or the van.  After the ordeal, my husband said to me, “For a woman of Faith I never saw anyone move so fast and get down on the floor and hide in that cubby hole.”  I smiled and said, “God never said we were to be fools either when in such danger.”

The Hiding Place

Why do I share this with you? What happened here?  At that moment, Jesus pulled us into HIS PRESENCE, the cleft of the rock – and the bullets could not touch us.  He will do the same for His people in those areas of refuge.  His presence will be there - THE HIDING PLACE will be the cleft in the rock.  Such a presence will require a measure of holiness that many Christians have not experienced, but can if they will allow our Jesus to school them in His ways.  

In Exodus 33:13-15, it reads, “Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.  And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.”

Move Only As God's Presence Leads

Moses knew that without God’s presence it was no use to get up and go.  He would move only if God’s presence was with them.  That is the way we should also do today; we should not take one step unless we know He is with us and if we are uncertain we should stand still until He says move.  Without His presence we will fail in our endeavors, but if we have His presence, then surely we will succeed.  

Today we are facing so many changes in America and many times our country’s leadership is not seeking God.  That can be dangerous because decisions can be made that will cause this great country to fail in her endeavors.  This is why it is so important to continue to pray for our leaders.  I personally want to be successful and I know you do too; therefore, we need to be like Moses and seek Him and refuse to take a step unless His Mighty Presence is leading.  

The worse mistakes that I have made in my life have been when I went my “own way” without Him.  I have learned some very valuable lessons on how important it is to have Jesus and His wonderful presence.  There is a secret we all need to know, which can be found only in His great presence— In His presence is the fullness of joy and the “ABUNDANCE OF ALL HIS GOODNESS.”  If ever His goodness was needed, it is now.   Moses went on further to say in Exodus 33:16,  “For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.”

Abundance Of All His Goodness

Just as Moses and the people found grace in His sight—we as Christians have found grace in Jesus and He is calling for a real separation in this hour, as stated in the above scripture.  In the past America was a Christian nation, but as the days go by, something is happening to America.  Being a Christian nation is no longer a strong call on her, but other religions are coming in and taking over.  What should we do?  We should watch and pray always.  He will lead us and keep us in safety.  It may not be the whole nation that will be Christian, which means God will no longer cover her as a whole, but HE HAS A PLAN!  There will be some large areas of refuge in the U.S.  These large areas of safety can be compared to the “clefts in the rock” of Exodus 33:22. Those areas are already marked by God.  His people will be drawn into those zones of safety in these last days by His Spirit and the “great presence” of the ALMIGHTY God will cover them there with His HAND.  All provisions will be provided for them there.  They will have need of nothing till He comes back to get His people. Those who are being called to the “cleft in the rock” are believers who reverence our God, walking in holiness.  All of God’s GOODNESS will be there. In Exodus 33:19-20, we read what He said to Moses. “And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.”

Large Areas Of Refuge

You see these large areas of safety are holy and for people who want to walk holy.  It will not be a place for people who have one foot in world and one in the church.  These “clefts in the rock” are for true believers who love Jesus. These large areas can be compared to the place next to Him in the “cleft of the rock” covered by His Hand.  It is a place by Him, “And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock. And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by…” Exodus 33:21-22, Beloved, that rock for us is Jesus Christ. We will be hidden in the cleft of the rock--Jesus Christ who is the Lord of Glory.  We are to draw close to His presence these days. In Colossians 3:3 it reads, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. To God Be The Glory!  hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda "Pray Boldly Before The Throne Of Grace And Mercy"

Prophetess
hilda arredondo

Dear Ministry friends, I am writing this newsletter to you during this Atonement Season (Days of Awe) celebrated by Israel, which began 9/24/14.  This season would last ten days from Rosh Hashanah which is Jewish New Year to Yom Kippur, ten days later.  The purpose of these ten days was to set aside a time of repentance every year for the nation and the people of Israel. The High Priest would go in once a year into the Holy of Holies and go through all the rituals with the hope that their repentance was accepted and then God would send the rains as a sign that He was well pleased!  Everyone then knew that a good year was coming in to bless them and they would also receive wonderful rewards from the Lord. These ten days was God’s way of extending mercy to the lukewarm people and the wicked. They would receive judgments if they didn’t repent. We are now in the peak season of repentance, as Christians we are to search our own hearts, find the lost--leading them to Jesus   and   the backslidden to come back to Jesus. Today, you and I have a high priest.“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16   

Just as the high priest of Israel stood in the gap for Israel, today, you and I have a high priest Jesus who lives in our hearts and we can come boldly into the throne of grace (Holy of Holies) any day or night (not just once a year) when we have a need or just need to stand in the gap for someone.  That is the difference between the Old and New Testament. In Hebrews 7:22-25, it reads, “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:  But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. In Hebrews 7:22, it reads, “By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the unttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 

The priest lives in us today and we can come into the Holy of Holies with boldness anytime.  This 2014 Season of Atonement, America has been found wanting in the balances. (Daniel 5:27)  Judgment will continue to fall on her (America) and the worldly church. This church has works, charity, service and faith, but our Jesus has a few things against these churches.  He has given them time to repent and yet they have not done so. Repentance is the key to blessings and rewards from the Hand of God.  The judgment of God is upon America.  Begin to pray now for her, you and I can come boldly into the Holy of Holies where we will find His presence and favor--we are carriers of the high priest and His name is Jesus. We have the surety of a better covenant with our precious Jesus who has an unchangeable priesthood. In Hebrews 9:15 it reads, “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.” 

Come now wonderful people of God let us enter in to the Holy of Holies and pray for our country. She has been found wanting in the balances which will bring a severe judgment for her wickedness and the judgment of the lukewarm worldly church is upon us!  Again let us come boldly before the throne of grace and find grace and obtain mercy to help in our time of need. To God Be the Glory! In His love & service, hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda "The Joys and Rewards Of Giving"

Prophetess
hilda arredondo

In Luke 14:12-14, it reads, “Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.” We are quickly moving into the Fall Feast of Israel.  God was the Host of the Festivals.  There were three (3) Festivals making up the Feast of Tabernacles beginning with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. They were celebrated over a period of 22 days.  This year the Jewish New Year will fall on September 25^th.  Among the many wonderful things celebrated at this special festival of harvest was taking care of and seeing about the poor.  You could say, well that’s Old Testament, and yes you’re very correct, but the heart of God never changes, in the Old or in the New Testaments but continues to love those less fortunate people. In the above scripture of the  New Testament we see that our Jesus encouraged us to not forget the poor when we make a feast. Verses 13-14, reads “But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.”  

Israel was reminded every year at the celebration of Rosh Hashanah followed by the two (2) fall festivals “don’t forget the poor.”  Long tables were put out during this celebration loaded down with good food and other gifts for the poor and special blessings came to those who obeyed.  God’s heart was so full of happiness and joy for he loves the poor and needy.   In Proverbs 22:9 (ESV), it reads, “Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.” We are instructed in God’s Holy Word to share our bread with the poor and we will be blessed! This is what Israel was doing when they put out those big long tables filled with goods and gifts sharing their food with the needy.  Another scripture in Proverbs 19:17, reads, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.” You see we don’t have to go over to other countries to find the poor; many times they are right here in our very own communities.  Especially now with our poor economy and so many people unemployed. So remember if we are generous we lend to the Lord and He will repay us for our good deed.  Our God is so wonderful – Praise Jesus our Savior who is showing us the way – Let us begin to break the power of greed and selfishness here in America as we begin to practice these scriptures so we can truly be blessed. 

BE GENEROUS TO THE POOR & NEEDY

Years ago a man from another country visited us and shared with us about his ministry to the “poor children” of his community.  That wasn’t always the case.  Once he belonged to a big church, and had a TV program.  He was invited as a guest to their fancy big dinners and sat down at the most elegant tables.  One day God touched his heart to leave his big church and go minister to the poor children of his country and he did!  He shared with us that he would be dressed as a beggar at times and would go to the same houses where he sat down at those fancy tables with the best food and knock at the kitchen doors and beg for food.   The people there would tell him to get out and run him off, without giving him    anything to eat!  In Deuteronomy 15:11, it reads, “For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.”  Yes, the celebration of Tabernacles is also the celebration of helping the needy, your brother and the poor in your community.  In Proverbs 14:21 (ESV), it reads, “Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.” 

You and I are called to love our neighbor and be generous to him in his time of need or risk becoming a sinner. Israel was instructed during harvest time to leave the corners of their fields un-harvested for the poor. In Leviticus 19:9-10, it reads, “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.”  What a wonderful generous, loving God we serve.  Today if someone is hungry and comes to your corn field, they may call the police or chase him off with a gun.  How far we have come? We must get back and remember the poor.  

WE ALL CAN BE POOR SOMETIMES

In the year 2000 we moved from Ohio into the Lafayette area with many families. We were instructed to leave Ohio by the Holy Spirit-our economy was going under at that time.  It took many trucks and money to move us here and all was put into storage units till the heads of the households found jobs.  It was during the months of October 2000 through January, February & March of 2001 when all of us arrived and it was so cold. We didn’t have a church building to meet.   We had men, women and little children with us.  We would meet by the Vermilion River and the bridge. We asked several churches in the area if we could meet at their church for a short time until we could get on our feet – to have our services at an off time from theirs but they said they couldn’t help us. There was no choice but to huddle together many times trying to stay warm on those cold, cold Sunday mornings under the pavilion by the Vermilion River.  We never missed a service and continued to sing songs to Jesus. Although, we did learn some valuable lessons – among those lessons was how to identify with people who have no homes, sleeping out in the cold or living in cardboard boxes.   This is a good time to ask our God to give us a heart of compassion and mercy.   

A NEW YEAR OF BLESSING FOR AMERICA

For many years now, I have become aware that the Lord sends someone with a special need during this season of the festival for our ministry to help. Yesterday, the phone rang and a man's voice came over the line and he began to share with us that his electric was about to be shut off. He said he called many churches but no one could help him with his electric bill.   He told me the amount that was needed but at the time we didn't have that much money to help him.  So I called some praying friends from our Morning Glory Community and together we were able to take up a collection to help him and his family. To my surprise the offerings that came in was $300 over what was needed for the electric bill! God is so merciful-He will supply in our time of need. 

When I spoke to this man earlier he told me that he was a disabled veteran. When serving in the Navy he was shot in the mouth, throat, and leg. Surely he was like the lame, maimed and needy of Luke 12:12-14.  I thanked him personally for defending us and for his service to our country. He shared with me that it was his mother who deserved the honor because he had lost his dad (her husband) plus two other sons in the wars and he was sent home disabled. After we took up the offering for this man and his family the Holy Spirit said, "Pay his electric bill and send him the extra $300 that came in." I quickly obeyed my Lord! You see, we could have put the extra $300 in our ministry treasury, but we are to help the poor and those in need especially during the "Fall Festivals" and we gave him every penny and I know this pleased our Father in heaven in Jesus name. Surely, this is the season to help those in need. To God Be the Glory! "Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness." Psalm 41:1-3 To God Be the Glory! In His love and service, hilda arredondo
