A Prophetic Word From Hilda

Prophetess Hilda Arredondo

"Praying, The Will Of The Father"

Dear Praying Friends, What is the will of the Father in a given prayer situation? How can you be sure that you are not praying your will and off into soulish praying? What is soulish praying? Sometimes when a vessel is not thoroughly clean and lacks heavenly wisdom, he will begin to pray out of lusts, wrong motives, and selfish desires. He will pray out of the soulish (mind) realm and not from the heart of the Father. He will begin to pray his will in a prayer situation and not stop to seek the Father's will. This tells us that this is not a Holy God’s way of accomplishing His will in us. God will never violate a man’s free will. He showed us frankly and openly His Word of truth, either through the Bible or through a servant that told us about salvation, deliverance, etc., and we were allowed to choose freely. If we are to be His true representatives, then we need to walk in His statutes and commandments and that includes righteous motives in our life of prayer. Sometimes without much thought, it is easy to set up ourselves as an authority over that situation and feel that a particular outcome would be the best way for the Father to handle that situation, and we begin to pray in our will. Being on the end of receiving dozens of prayer calls and asked to pray and agree with prayer needs, I feel that the Lord is directing me by His Spirit to admonish you with some truth, so that we can be corrected in an area that is sometimes easily violated by pray-ers, either by the lack of knowledge or plain ignorance. Some prayer examples are as follows:

PRAYER EXAMPLE #1

A pray-er called and said, “I believe my oldest daughter’s time has come to marry, but the boy she is now dating is not the one for her. The Lord has shown me who she is to marry. Let’s pray that God break up this relationship.” As a parent we may see things in our children’s lives that are a hindrance; and it is our duty to pray, direct, and guide them with words of wisdom and love. I don’t believe; however, that we have to try to force God’s hand and pray for Him to break up the relationship. Is He not the God that fashioned the heavens, great in counsel, and mighty in work; “…for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jeremiah 32:19. Righteous Praying #1 – “God bless, direct, and guide my daughter. Give her the young man of your choice. Father, I commit this situation to You, to work out what is best for her and this young man.” Let’s not be guilty of meddling with the will of the Father.

PRAYER EXAMPLE #2

A pray-er called and wanted prayer for someone on their job who was causing them much discomfort. The request was to pray the someone causing them the discomfort out of the job so the pray-er could work in peace. Now this seems like the easy thing to do. I am sure this other person has a family, children, wife, and bills to pay. The answer is never praying the problem away, but dealing in the love of Christ with the problem. All successful relationships are based on love, harmony, and good communication skills in Christ. Could it be possible that the person is in our path for a reason? Possibly to smooth out the rough edges of our character? Sometimes the very things in our path that are uncomfortable will be the very things needed for us to grow up in the stature of our Lord Jesus Christ – like loving the unlovable. Matt. 5:44 says, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Here, the Word of God says “do well”. Are we doing well when we try to pray someone out of a job? Righteous Praying #2 - Our prayer could possibly be Father, bless my co-worker and work your kindness and love into his heart. Make me patient and enduring and let him see the love of Jesus in me.”

PRAYER EXAMPLE #3

Some pray-ers called and stated that they felt the leadership in their church was not doing what they thought they should be doing. Again the prayer request was a request to get the leadership to do things their way – dominating and manipulating in prayer was evident. When God raises up a man or woman in authority, He gives them a mantle of authority. God gives this man or woman His plan to accomplish His purpose and goals to bring His kingdom work to pass. When you start coming against a person in authority in soulish prayer, you are on shaky ground; they are God’s representatives. Even David would not come against evil Saul, he had enough compassion and wisdom to not touch this man who at one time had been God’s anointed. Righteous Praying #3 - If you feel those in leadership are in error or sin, begin to pray and ask God to bring them into the truth. Have mercy upon them. There is no need to pray our will upon them. God who is Almighty and sees all will deal His measure of correction to their disobedience. II Samuel 22:25-28 says, “Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. .And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.”

PRAYER EXAMPLE #4

A pray-er needed prayer agreement to speak destruction by fire on a worldly bar building that was a sore thumb in a particular community. Did we ever stop and think about the person who owns this work of darkness? The reason that he is involved in the works of darkness is because he is a lost person. He is a human being with great potential for salvation and prayer. Righteous Praying #4 - Would it not be better to pray for that man’s salvation so that he can come to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? What if people were hurt inside the building while our “destruction of fire” prayer came to pass? Would it not be better to pray that God turn the building into a church for the Glory of God? In Luke 9:54-56 the apostles were upset because Jesus was not received by some; they said let us call fire down from heaven and destroy them. Jesus told them He came to save men’s lives not to destroy them. This was a lack of maturity on the apostles’ behalf, yet at a later date these very same men were used mightily by God.

PRAYER EXAMPLE #5

A pray-er calling for prayer needed someone that could touch the throne of God with prayer power and was calling us for prayer. In this situation God had showed the pray-er a particular house for rent and told him it was his – the present people living in it were not moving out and the pray-er needed someone to agree with him that this was his house and help him pray the present occupants out so that he could move in. If God has told us something and we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is His voice; why do we need to help God out? If He has said it, then He will do it in His time. If we have to keep trying to force God’s hand through prayer to make something happen that God has already spoken, then it’s possible you heard wrong or you are ahead of God and not resting in God. Righteous Praying #5 – The prayer in this case could possibly be: “Righteous Father, I need a place to live and I feel you have showed me a particular place; I now place this request in your hands and know that you will bring your perfect will to pass in your time. Bless the man and family presently living in this house.” Isaiah 55:8-9, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” When a person is in this kind of deception (wrong praying) and can find another person who is in the same error and deception to agree, they begin to pray soulish prayers in agreement, they will see some results, but the power tapped into is in the soulish realm (mind power) and they are deceived that it is God answering their prayers. I have observed several things about individuals involved in soulish prayer – they are in much confusion, they don’t understand why their lives are in such a mess and out of balance. They mistakenly discern self’s voice as the Holy Spirit’s voice. They are usually strong, self-willed individuals with beautiful gifts from God, but will not submit to any kind of authority or training. They will try to dominate, manipulate through prayer their ways of thinking. They always have a scripture to justify their action of prayer. There is limited power in soulish prayer. The thing or situation prayed for will not last or the time will come that the pray-er will wish he had never prayed his will and will begin to pray something else that he now thinks will bring the solution. This puts the pray-er in an endless cycle of having to constantly pray soulishly to keep and control what he thinks is best for him or others. The Lord is looking for vessels of prayer that He can move through so He can demonstrate His prayer power and glory. He does not want to be a chess piece in our life that we can move as we see fit, but He wants us to be a chess piece in His Holy Hand so He can direct our lives for His Glory. In the book of Malachi there are thirty-two sins mentioned: some are irreverence, dishonoring God, disrespect and deception. When we bring God down to our soulish level and try to manipulate His power of prayer for our own selfish means or desires we are dishonoring a Holy God. We are also in deception and showing disrespect by trying to undermine God’s ways and principles for our selfish desires. Who are we to dictate to God our methods and ways? Is He not the God that created the heavens; hangs the sun, moon, and stars in the sky? He created the intricate anatomy of our physical bodies. Isaiah 40:12, 15, says, “Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance.” V 15 “Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as very little thing.” Your question now can be how do we pray?

JESUS OUR BEST EXAMPLE

Our best example is to look at Jesus in Chapter 17 of John and see how He prayed. Verse 9 “I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.” Verse 11 “And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.” Jesus prayed for the keeping and oneness of all believers. He also prayed in much respect. If anyone could have been in a chummy relationship with the Father it could have been Jesus, yet with much respect He said, “Holy Father”, and then He prayed for close communion between us and the father. In verse 13 He prayed that they might have joy. In verse 15 He prayed for the Father not to take them out of the world, but to keep them from all evil. You know Jesus could have prayed that God keep them from all the evil. He could have said, “Father, I want them with me so we can be in glory land together.” Let us not be hasty to pray a person in or out of a situation. Let us pray in wisdom like Jesus did. Let us not try to pray all the mountains away from that person, but on the other hand let us pray that God give him the strength and wisdom on how to remove mountains in Jesus’ name. Someone once said, “Do not pray for easy lives, but pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your power, pray for power equal to your tasks.” In verse 17 Jesus prayed for their sanctification, Verse 21 He prayed for the unity, and in verse 25 He prayed that true love dwell in them. In Matthew 26:39 Jesus prayed, “…Oh my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt.” What is God’s will? The word of God tells us it is God’s will to meet our physical needs as well as give us our daily bread, save us, heal, and deliver us. But how God chooses to do this is His will and His methods are better than ours. If we limit God by dictating to Him every detail of the answer we are going to limit God in what He can do for us in that situation. I know that we have had much teaching to pray the answer, don’t pray the problem, be specific with God when you bring your needs to Him, but if you are not seeking the Father’s will and discerning the voice that is speaking to you – much confusion and heartache may come our way.

HIS WAY ARE HIGHER

Let’s remember that His ways are higher than our ways. The Holy Spirit impressed on my heart one day the following thought: “I’ve become a pawn in some of my people’s hands – they say this is my desire and now you bring it to pass. God, you perform for me.” They don’t stop to consider that what they are wanting might be harmful for them or others. I know the beginning and end of every situation. They look at my word and say this promise of scripture will apply the magic formula needed to bring this to pass. Beloved of God, some of you have shared and counseled with us that you don’t understand why your life is in confusion and turmoil. You’ve prayed for something, but that only brings more confusion, heartache, and error. There is no fruit to your prayers. Beloved, before you utter another prayer before the God of heaven stop and ask the Father what is His will in the prayer situation, then listen quietly and pray His will. Let me share these words of wisdom with you – they are not my words of wisdom – but they brought much fruit to my daily walk in prayer. Miracles and answered prayer should be distinguished from the works of magic. In magic the wonder worker himself possesses the formula which causes the alleged result – the alleged supernatural power is controlled by the performer. Compare Exodus 7:11 & 8:7. In miracles and prayer the results depend wholly upon the divine will, and the one who works the miracle is simply an agent for the Lord. If we are guilty of wrong praying let us repent (turn away) and ask God to forgive us of dishonoring Him, irreverence, disrespect, and deception and because we serve a God of love and mercy, He will make us to be in right standing with the father. 1John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Praise be to God…His servant hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda

Prophetess hilda arredondo

"NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN PRAYER"

Dearest Ministry Friends, I want to Encourage some of "YOU" with this Newsletter. Our Lord has made you some promises concerning your children over the years and He will bring them to pass. HIS FAITHFULNESS NEVER FAILS! Years ago, when my children were much younger and not serving the Lord, the Holy Spirit gave me a word. “Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to you: your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.” Isaiah 60:4. With emphasis on “Thy Daughters Shall Be Nursed At Thy Side”. I wondered how my daughters could possibly nurse at my side when they were way past the nursing stage. I continued to pray for all my children to be saved. I asked friends and many people to join me in that prayer for them. Surely as He promised, my children walked one by one into the church where I was attending and joined me. My daughters eventually came to work with me in the ministry and AT MY SIDE THEY NURSED with THE MILK OF THE WORD. They were at my side for 17 years. Then one day He called them away to prepare them for the ministry of prayer that will be passed on to them when I am no longer here. Debra, my oldest, will take charge with all the other children assisting her in this ministry of prayer. I’m believing for a long and healthy life but nevertheless, these are events that we have to face in our lives and prepare. This newsletter is being dedicated to a NEW THING our God is doing in this NEW SEASON. There are two (2) TESTIMONIES in this Newsletter written by two(2) of my Daughters. I would like to share them with you:

TESTIMONY #1

"THE GREATEST THING"

by Nichol Arredondo Fortenberry

Recently, I went to see family and was visiting my home church. We began to sing a song that I hadn’t heard for sometime: “The Greatest Thing”. As I began to sing the words of the song I concentrated on what I was saying, “I want to know you, I want to serve you, and I want to love you more.” As a former music minstrel I can remember saying these same exact words many times but not really reflecting on what I was singing, just going through the motions. As I sang, the tears began, they were more than just words, and I now understood them with a whole different meaning. I know things affect us differently on where we are at in the stages of our walk with the Lord. But when I think that the greatest thing in all my life is knowing Jesus and that I want to know Him more it’s so awesome, especially since the Lord spoke of this as part of entering into eternal life with Him. “Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.” Jeremiah 24:7 (NKJV). As the song goes on it says “Serve Him”. When we serve God we grow in godliness, the more we grow the better we will be able to serve Him as He deserves; then we can serve others because we know that this is the greatest form of pure love that we can give. In Deuteronomy 13:4 it says, “It is the Lord your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.” In the final verse it says “Love Him”: "...you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment." Mark 12:30. We have the privilege as Christians to Love God. It’s a choice of obedience. He unselfishly died for us that we may live a life not to fulfill our own needs, but rather the needs of others and to be an example to those who don’t know the saving grace of our Father in heaven. Lord I pray that my words may always be full of grace and pleasing to You. When I proclaim Your greatness and spread Your Word, I do what is pleasing in Your sight. Help me that I might forever do what You want me to because the Greatest Thing in all my Life is Knowing You...

TESTIMONY #2

"A CLOSER WALK WITH JESUS"

by Debra Arredondo Crisp

How wonderful it is to know Jesus for 21 years! Our spiritual relationship with the Lord grows deep and matures over time and for the last 5 years God’s had me walking closer to Him more than ever before. The more I commune with the Lord I am fed and nourished by His Word which allows me to understand the true walk of faith and not be hindered or moved by what I see in the natural. (2 Corinthians 5:7) It’s exciting to see God move in our lives once we get out of the driver’s seat so to speak. He’s been teaching and speaking to my heart unfolding daily lessons in the areas of Prayer, His Characteristics, Scripture, Faith, Giving and Obedience. Everything is a lesson and if you listen close enough you’ll learn something and pass your test. He is the teacher and we are the students. We must raise our hands to Jesus and let Him give us the ANSWER for every situation, circumstance, and decision made in our lives. No shortcuts or trying to figure out a better way or maybe a back-up plan just in case God doesn’t do it the way we feel He should. “For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver.” Psalm 66:10 (NIV). We all face the struggles and uncertainties that everyday life brings our way—but with God’s help and the renewing of our minds (His way of thinking) we can overcome the enemy and be victorious. We must completely, unconditionally, without any reservations put our trust and faith in Jesus; releasing our agenda’s, children, husbands, wives, relationships, marriages, finances, etc. The Lord is Faithful to take care of us and meet our needs (spiritually, physically, mentally and financially). Trust that Father God knows best--He is always working behind the scenes - His timing is always perfect! "… no good thing will He withhold, from them that walk uprightly." Psalms 84:11.

AN ANSWER TO PRAYER: A couple of weeks ago my husband and I started putting a little money aside for a special weekend. We were diligent about saving because we didn’t want to take from the money we needed to meet the financial obligations of our household. Our intentions were to save and add a little bit every week and then when it was time we would have what we needed. Then 2 days ago, I received a call to pray for a brother in the Lord who was suffering with much pain in his body and taken to the emergency room. I prayed that it wouldn’t be anything serious and that the Lord be merciful to him and heal him. The good report is that it wasn’t serious and with medication he would be good as new in a few days. Thank you Jesus! “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the LORD.” Isaiah 55:8.

PROVISION FOR OUR NEEDS: “And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Psalm 9:10. Now, this brother was in between paychecks and only had $12 to his name. When I spoke to him I could hear the burden he was carrying over the lack of finances that he needed to purchase the medications prescribed by the physician. And to make the situation worse, he couldn’t go back to work until he was better. I felt a “test” coming--the Lord was already speaking to my heart to help him out; nevertheless, I didn’t mention anything to him. As I was talking with him my mind was racing, trying to figure out how I could help him financially. The only extra money I had was the money I’d saved for our “Special Outing” and at that point who knows if that would be enough considering how expensive prescriptions are these days. Well, he said he was going home and would try and figure something out and we left it at that. Within a matter of minutes he called me back in tears. TEARS OF JOY! He said that he walked into the pharmacy to just see what the medications ran and when he was quoted a price it was ridiculously high and started to walk away from the counter and the pharmacist said, “Wait, do you have insurance?” He said, “Yes, I do.” The pharmacist checked and with his discount the order came to $12.14. The brother shook his head with disappointment, He said, “I only have $12.00.” The pharmacist said, “Don’t worry about it, I got it, I will take care of the difference.” He filled the order, Praise God, and gave it to him. When he finished sharing his testimony with me we both rejoiced, and then realized he didn’t know how he would make it till payday. It took all the money he had to fill the prescription but he was thankful to the Lord for meeting his need.

GOD REWARDS US: The Lord laid it upon my heart to bless him with the $12 that he started with and give him another $12 on top of that. I kept that thought to myself and at that time of the day neither one of us had a vehicle to do anything. So I waited till my husband got home from work and told him what took place that day and we were both in agreement to bless him “Double” for his trouble. I knew then; that the Lord had me saving that little extra not for our own personal need but to be a witness and help this brother out. You see, God’s been trying to prove himself to him and to me. The Lord wanted to see if I would put into action what He had been teaching me. Jesus spoke very loudly to my heart. He said, “You must release the finances you saved for yourself to meet the need of your brother.” “Tell them to do good, to be rich in the good things they do, to be generous, and to share with others.” 1 Timothy 6:18. Within 24 hours exactly of helping that brother we received 2 unexpected checks in the mail from out of state. Father God returned it to us and then some. “…knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord.” Ephesians 6:8. When He speaks to our hearts how blessed we are for trusting and obeying Him. Trials strengthen us and build our faith; they make us stronger and more powerful than any mountain that comes our way. We give Glory, Honor and Praise to Jesus. Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to pass my “Test”. “O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” Isaiah 25:1.

Dear Ministry Friends…Thank you for all the prayers you pray for me and my family. Thank you for all that you do to help me keep our work of prayer moving forward. Without you we could not do all the good things we do for the Gospel. Thank you for all your visits to us here in Opelousas. We are always glad to see you. Don’t forget to send me the names of your loved ones before December 1, 2011 in the enclosed envelope. We are looking forward to many answered prayers. I love and appreciate you. In His love and service, hilda arredondo

A Prophetic Word From Hilda

Prophetess hilda arredondo

"THE WATCHMAN

DECLARES WHAT HE SEES"

n September the 29th of this year, the "Feast of Trumpets" will be celebrated by the Jewish community all over the world. Trumpets Announce The Upcoming Day Of Atonement, the Feast of Tabernacles, and most important, they announce the beginning of a New Year. The Ten Days of Atonement would move God’s People into Repentance and Cleansing. The tenth day was the final day of "Judging their Hearts" and Repentance. This day was known as Yom Kippur. Depending on the sincerity of their repentance during these 10 days of cleansing, the DAY OF ATONEMENT could bring destruction and hurt or reward and blessing. The Feast of Tabernacles Announced the Great and Final Harvest of the Year—a Season of Giving and Great Rejoicing. God commanded Israel to celebrate the natural feast each year. The Lord has REVEALED to me as I have studied the feast over the years that Christians Celebrate the same but they are SPIRITUAL FEASTS of the Lord when we come into His kingdom. Each SPIRITUAL FEAST has a wonderful measure of glory, and each measure of glory is greater than the former. Most Christians are not familiar with the feasts; therefore, they are in the dark about them and do not understand the spiritual application of them to their lives. Annually, the feasts speak spiritual things to us and announce what we can expect in the "NEW SEASONS" we are moving into. I look forward to this time every year because I Hear the Voice of God Speaking Profoundly To My Heart. “Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.” Isaiah 21:5-6. The Lord has placed WATCHMEN ON THE WALL of this Nation, to WATCH BY THE SPIRIT and declare to the Body of Christ what they see! May I declare to you what I have seen by the Holy Spirit? As the Trumpets Blow this September, Announcing the New Year, my Spiritual Eyes are Focused and my Ears are Tuned In on Major Happenings and Events. I knew our God was going to speak. The beginning of a New Spiritual Year is very exciting. Our human nature is to want to know what the New Year holds, and surprisingly enough, the Father in Heaven will give us glimpses by the Holy Spirit into that New Year SO WE CAN PRAY AND AVERT JUDGMENT. Prior to the Feast of Trumpets and during the Feast, I make it a point to be praying more fervently, repenting and watching more intently. By doing so, the Lord reveals to me what kind of year we can expect spiritually on a personal, church, and national level. Over the years I have learned to Reverently Fear The Awesome God. Although I have known him more as a Tender Loving God, who pulled me out of the miry clay and set my feet upon the rock—Jesus, my Saviour; I’m also acquainted with the Chastening Side of my Heavenly Father, and have no desire to know His Judgment Side to the wicked. Therefore, as His own, I have put away wicked things far from me. I can recall one particular time years ago. On Thursday, September 8, 1994 right before the Fall Festivals, I was suddenly awakened in the wee hours of the morning out of a deep sleep. I had been dreaming, and in this dream I saw written in big giant letters, "SEVERE JUDGMENTS". Immediately I thought of Daniel Chapter 5:27. “Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” I thought, “Oh, God, THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL.” Later that day, the Holy Spirit instructed me to watch closely what He was going to say, so I could declare to His people. Late that night, as we settled down for the evening, we began to hear reports from the TV about a Terrible Jetliner Crash. The next few days’ Newspapers Flashed Headlines “Jetliner Accident Remains A Mystery”. The story went on to tell how this jetliner went down and crashed, killing all 132 people on board. U.S. Transportation Secretary, Frederick Pena said, “We’re all very much at a loss to explain this accident.” This was years ago, but today in 2011 we can expect SEVERE JUDGMENTS TO THE WICKED IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD. May I remind you just as we are moving into the New Season (2011) of the Fall Festivals, we’ve already experienced a Hurricane, an Earthquake, Killer Tornadoes and Other Calamities here in America! This is only the beginning of SEVERE WEATHER JUDGMENTS AND OTHER DISASTERS which we can expect IF WE DON'T REPENT!

SEVERE JUDGMENTS UPON AMERICA

n Revelation 1:8, it reads, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” As Jesus came to judge the seven (7) churches of the book of Revelation, He introduced himself as the Alpha and the Omega. Today we could say in plainer language for the purpose of clearer understanding, I’m the A and the Z or the first and last. Some of God’s prophets are like spiritual detectives looking for those spiritual nuggets. This jetliner fell out of the sky and went down at Aliquippa, PA. It is no coincidence that the location (Aliquippa) begins with the letter A. The date was September 8, 1994. The number 8 is the number of beginnings, but here in this happening it means “New Beginning”. I declare that God is beginning a NEW SEASON of SEVERE JUDGMENTS to the wicked. Holy numerics, connected with events that send signals to the watchmen by the Holy Spirit, are very revealing. The Flight number of the jet that went down was 427. The sum of 427 is thirteen (13). Thirteen is the number of sin, rebellion, and depravity. In Mark 7:21 it says, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, and evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:…” There are thirteen (13) different types of sins mentioned in this verse of scripture. America’s wicked are corrupt with these types of sins, and they are to be found everywhere including the Church of Jesus Christ! The article further reads, “At about 6,000 feet, with both engines operating, the plane apparently rolled to the left in an abnormal way, according to preliminary information from a flight data recorder.” There were 132 people on board on this jetliner. The sum of 132 is six (6) and 132 divided by two (2) equals sixty-six (66). The number sixty-six (66) is the number that represents image or idol worship. “Yes, America, SEVERE JUDGMENTS have come upon you because of your idolatry and image worship, and they will continue unless you repent!” Prayer Warrior, please continue to pray. It has been seventeen years since this plane crash and there have been many since. The judgments have escalated and we can expect some of the same severe judgments ahead for 2011. The judgment is upon the land because of our sin, rebellion, and idolatry. Also, there will be a crime wave judgment break forth upon the children. Cover your little children with the blood of Jesus so they can be safe. “And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am He who searcheth the reins and hearts and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” Revelation 2:21-23.

THE AWESOME GOD JUDGES

he Holy Spirit had spoken clearly to me the Father’s heart on judgment to the wicked by watching the Feast of Trumpets. But He wasn’t done speaking! Now, I began, with awesome anticipation, to look toward the Day of Atonement, which would fall on September 29th. There are ten (10) days known as the AWESOME DAYS between the Feast of Trumpets and The Day of Atonement. These ten (10) days between the two feasts are especially for the people that are neither wicked nor wholly righteous, (we could say “the lukewarm”), a time to make up their mind to follow hard after Jesus. “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth…” Revelation 3:15-19. The Holy Spirit said, “Watch for the USA Today national news.” As I looked in the newspaper bins, I suddenly stopped in my tracks, and behold, a holy judgment was unfolding before my very eyes. The headlines read, “SEASON ENDS, ‘95 in doubt”. I thought, “Yes, Yes, Lord, I hear, but many in your church are in the dark about what you are declaring in this hour; but your watchmen are not. IT IS TIME FOR THE RIGHTEOUS TO PRAY! We hear what you are saying and we will declare it for your namesake!” The headlines, “SEASON ENDS”, was referring to the old spiritual year, (1994); “but 95 in doubt” referred to the New Year 1995 coming in, and it’s in doubt! I started weeping as I read further n the headlines, “Going, Going, and Gone! Baseball shreds tradition and cancels first World Series Game in 90 years. The World Series was last cancelled in 1904”. I wasn’t crying because the World Series was cancelled, but because 1995 was in doubt. To me, this meant “Good News Of Mercy”. When something is “In Doubt”, it means it is not final; there is still a chance for our nation if she will repent of her sinful idolatry. The Holy Spirit said, “Declare my message and don’t be afraid to speak for me, I’m going to judge sports in America!” Many of the American people, including some in the church, have made sports a god; therefore, “I have judged the nation’s sports through this happening (Cancellation of World Series).” Today in 2011 we will see an increase of Judgment upon Sports in America. “He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying.”

GOOD NEWS OF MERCY

uddenly, the Holy Spirit reminded me that in 1989, an earthquake shook Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California during the World Series game season and because of this earthquake, the game was postponed, not cancelled. At that time God had spoken to my heart that the American people would rather spend time with baseball over reading their Bible, attending church or spending time in prayer. Parents, especially Dads, would rather teach their children all about baseball and other sports than to teach them all about God and His Word. He made me aware that others eagerly spend money freely on sports and are happy about doing it, but begrudge the House of God of their tithe and offerings. In the book of Revelation, Jesus warned the churches, “Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love”. Remember, therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:1-5. As Jesus warned the church of Ephesus, He also warns the modern day church world. Jesus was warning the American people by postponing the World Series in 1989, but America did not listen to Him and ignored His warning and now the World Series (1995) was cancelled. If America does not heed God’s warning in 2011 concerning the idolatry of sports and repent, then the next judgment will be the removing of our candlestick which represents the presence of the Lord. We cannot afford to have the presence of the Lord leave our nation. The Lord is long suffering and merciful and He gives us plenty of time, but time is running out and we must forsake pleasure seeking and build His kingdom instead. If we don’t, our lukewarmness will be judged in the church. IT IS TIME TO REPENT AMERICA!

I WILL REMOVE YOUR CANDLESTICK

ometime back, I heard of a church that brought a Big Screen TV into the church, and instead of having church services, they had popcorn and refreshments. The church and neighboring Christians came to watch the Super Bowl Game! I heard the church was packed out. Prayer Warrior, pray for the people of God; and I say, “Oh, church, how foolish we can get?” We can say, “Oh foolish” Americans, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth…” Galatians 3:1.

WHAT ARE SEVERE JUDGMENTS?

y now you may be asking, I thought we served a loving God and He is, but He will judge this nation or any nation that continues to break His Holy commandments. Your next thought may be, “Explain to me what judgment is.” Judgment is the consequence or sentence pronounced when God’s commandment or laws are broken and will follow only after many ignored warnings from Him. When SEVERE JUDGMENTS fall, they come with the hope of turning the offender back to righteousness. In this case, the U.S., our country has become a constant offender of God’s laws. A wayward (apostate) person or nation will bring upon itself the hurt and destruction of judgment, and because God is a loving God, He will, through SEVERE JUDGMENTS, try to get a person’s or nation’s attention to repent and come back to Jesus so He can bestow His blessing upon them. Your next question may be, “But all those people on that flight 427 are dead and gone. How can that be love and mercy?” There is a time after many merciful warnings that God will not listen. God says in His Word, in Ezekiel 22:30 that He looks for someone to pray. Many times people are not praying and the judgment cannot be averted. “Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.” Jeremiah 11:11. The crew on that plane cried out 38 seconds before going down, “Oh, God.” Obviously God didn’t hear; their time had run out and they all died. Prayer Warrior, this flight was a message of Judgment to America. This is God’s way of communicating His final word to this nation’s wicked, whether in the church or elsewhere, before more destruction falls. We must continue to pray that the wicked repent. In the Modern Church there are those that Gossip, Cheat, Lie, Fornicate and Commit Adultery. The SIN of PORNOGRAPHY, ADULTERY and FORNICATION running rampant WILL BE JUDGED IN THE PULPIT AND THE CHURCH IN 2011. MANY are Busy Bodies, Rebellious, and Idolaters; therefore, they are Guilty of Sin and can no longer hide under the cloak of Christianity, but are being called to repent. “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” I Peter 4:17.

AS CHRISTIANS WE HAVE AN ADVOCATE

ne more thought on "Judgment" to help us understand the Awesome Righteous Judge. Let us just think about the laws of the land. If you are driving over the speed limit and you are stopped by an officer of the law, he may warn you if it’s your first time. The next time he sees you speeding he will write you a ticket. Your disobedience of breaking the law is going to cost you your money. The ticket is a form of discipline to your pocketbook (where it hurts); with the hopes that you will stop being an offender. If you become a constant offender, stronger measures must be taken, such as your driving privileges being revoked, or maybe, ending up in jail, which removes you from society as a menace, so to speak. In other cases, the law judges murderers and sends them to the electric chair. This means that they die. Is that because the law officer doesn’t like you personally? I’m sure all of us will quickly answer, no, because we understand that constant offenders must be stopped because of their crime or offence, and their penalty is just. The law was already written before they ever broke it and now they must pay the consequence, or judgment, for breaking those laws. The same goes for us as we turn and sin against God. Now as Christians we have an Advocate. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous…” 1 John 2:1-7. Many American people are corrupted with sinfulness and they don’t know the Advocate as we do; therefore, the SEVERE JUDGMENTS of God are falling upon them. JESUS CHRIST IS THEIR ONLY HOPE. God will judge wickedness wherever found in this hour. Prayer Warrior, one of your thoughts as you read this article may be what can we do, or is there any hope? Yes! JESUS IS THE HOPE OF THE RIGHTEOUS! We need to repent first and foremost on a personal level if we are guilty of the sins of idolatry. Secondarily, we need to start praying for our families, friends and others who are guilty of the same trespass so they can repent. I believe that I can confidently say that if America does not repent, then we will see much hurt in the sports arena, to those pleasure seeking, people dying in airplane crashes, severe weather judgments and economic collapse this new season. I believe that we will see severe injuries and even more lives may be in jeopardy if we ignore the Lord’s warning. As a Christian, I would be very careful of my excessive involvement with sports and pleasure seeking this upcoming season that they don’t take the place of JESUS in your heart. Instead of being involved in excessive sports and pleasure seeking this New Year, I would say to the church, get on your knees and tell Jesus that you love Him with all your mind, heart and soul. Asking for divine forgiveness and STANDING IN THE GAP for the nation’s idolatrous ways. Now, as Christians we have the blood, but if we continue sinning after God has lovingly warned us to put away the sin, then His Word is clear. “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.” Hebrews 10:26-27.
