A Prophetic Word From Hilda

INTERCESSOR'S ARE MARKED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

"He cried also in mine ear with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.” Ezekiel 9:1-2 The Higher Gate is God’s Gate. The North direction depicts judgment; therefore, judgment was on its way from the very Hand of God! These six men carried slaughter weapons in their hands. They were instructed by Almighty God to go into His house and wait by the brazen altar before they began their slaughter of judgment. Who were these men? They were the executors of God. We also read in this chapter, that the Glory of God was about to exit the house of God. God’s presence was no longer in the Most Holy Place, but it was at the threshold getting ready to depart. “And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house….” Ezekiel 9:3a. When God withdraws His presence from a people or a nation, there is always judgment! God’s glory would no longer dwell among their abominations. He would depart, but, before He did, He looked back and gave an order of mercy toward His people. The Lord would not allow the judgment to be poured out unless “His own” were divinely protected. “And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4. Yes, His mercy and grace was extended to those who stood as His people in the midst of abominations.

A MARK OF DISTINCTION

You see, not everyone standing in the house of God that claimed to be part of God’s bunch were claimed by God. He was going to mark those that had a pure heart. He told the man with the writer’s inkhorn to mark them on the forehead. This would be a mark of distinction. There was something different about these marked people. What made them so different? They sighed and cried because of their concern for all the abominations that were going on in the house of God. They were set apart, living holy lives. They were in prayer, waiting for the voice of God. They were the prayer warriors and intercessors of that time. Sister Intercessors, do you know that everyone that claims to be part of the house of God may not be a child of God? Being in a house of God does not necessarily mean you are His child. There were at the time of Ezekiel, some in the house of God, who were doing abominable things. What is an abomination? The dictionary describes an abomination as a hateful or detestable thing. Today, nothing has changed! The same still exists. Some Christian lives are abominable! They could care less about living holy lives. They sit in His house, and then leave the church, living their own shameful lives and bringing dishonor to the name “Christian.”

THE SMITER

Those that were committing abominations were doomed. “…Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women…” Ezekiel 9:5-6. Judgment was destined to come upon the once called Holy City because of their abominable living. God would become the “Smiter” instead of their “Blessor.” In 2Timothy 2:19, “Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” God tells us in His word, that if we are going to say we are His, “we are Christians”, then depart from iniquity. We cannot continue in the old life styles of the world. Some who claim to be His are still involved in pornography, fornication, adultery, and sexual perversions. They are liars, dishonest, cheaters, and gossipers. They divorce and remarry different partners as one would change outfits. Because of their shameless behavior and sinfulness, they bring dishonor to the name of our Lord. “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.” II Timothy 2:20-21. Yes, the Lord said through the Apostle Paul, “In My house I have some who honor My Word and My ways, and others who do not. Instead, they dishonor me!” Back in the time of Ezekiel, God instructed the men in white linen to mark His people on the foreheads. Who were these marked individuals? They were the praying people who were interceding because of the abominable things that were happening in the nation and the church. Today, history repeats itself. Our God has those that are standing in the gap – praying and interceding for the abominations going on in the midst of America. Intercessors are sealed on the foreheads with the mark of the Holy Spirit, a mark of distinction. Then, when the man comes with a slaughter weapon, His people cannot be touched! They are sealed with an invisible seal and shielded from anything the devil may throw their way. Arise, O Intercessors, and look! Begin to pray-intercede-cry because of the horrendous abominations going on in the midst of the churches and our nation. Arise, intercessor, and rejoice because we have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and no slaughter weapon can touch us. For in the midst of judgment upon the land, Jesus will keep His own.

INTERCESSORS ARE MARKED

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper…” Isaiah 54:17. Several years ago, we were on a week’s tour, visiting and having meetings with the praying people in Southern Louisiana. We had spent the previous night at a motel in a nearby town. We had to be in the New Orleans area for a few more meetings within the next few days. We had gotten up early that morning and had our usual daily time of devotion in the Word and prayer. After breakfast, we pulled out on Interstate 10 and headed for New Orleans. In a couple of hours we would reach our destination. All of a sudden, the Spirit of the Living God fell upon my husband and me. We began to worship and praise God in the "High Praises". As we continued to pray and worship, we began to feel the presence of the Lord in a MIGHTY WAY. Several minutes passed, and I picked up in the Spirit, through the Word of Knowledge, that someone had a gun and was going to try to shoot us. As I spiritually discerned the thoughts that were coming to me, Josè and I continued to Praise the Lord with Shouts Of Joy! Because I wanted to be sure that this was the Lord speaking to me, I appeared to be hesitating to share with Josè my thoughts about the gun for further confirmation. You see, here we were, traveling peacefully in our ministry call that our God had given us. We didn’t know anyone on the freeway, and we like to think that we don’t have enemies, yet, we know that as Christians, we do have an enemy number one. His name is the "devil", the one who goes around seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8)

BULLETS WON’T PENETRATE

We must have praised our God for about twenty to twenty-five minutes. After a few miles, we quieted down and traveled in the quietness of that marvelous experience of praise, prayer, and worship. It was as if both of us were asking the same question to ourselves – “God, what was that all about?” When all of a sudden, out of nowhere it seemed, an older red pickup truck pulled up next to Josè on the driver’s side and honked the horn at us. Not expecting any trouble, we were caught by surprise! An older, bald-headed man about in his 60’s pointed a gun at us. I immediately shouted, “Josè, that man has a gun; he is going to shoot us!” Josè quickly looked and pulled his foot off the van accelerator, which caused us to slow down immediately. Because of the upcoming traffic behind him, the red pickup truck was forced to move ahead and pulled in front of us. Josè kept slowing down in the traffic. There was some traffic, but it was sparse. The man kept turning around with the gun in his hand and trying to get aim at us through the back windshield of his vehicle. We looked for an exit, but there was none; therefore, we kept driving ahead. We both kept calling on Jesus for help. Then, Josè said, “There is only one thing to do and that is to pass him and try to outrun him.” We were driving a fairly new van and Josè barreled out into the left lane and put the “Pedal To The Metal” as they say. Now I was going to be the one to come up next to the driver’s side of this madman. As we went around his truck, we heard the gun shots fired at us. My immediate instinct was to hit the floor in the van. We sped along quickly, drove a few miles, and finally lost him in the traffic before we could exit.

OUR DIVINE PROTECTOR

Jose jokingly called out to me, “Some big woman of faith you are! I’ve never seen anyone move as quickly as you did when we passed that madman.” I answered, laughingly, “God didn’t make me a fool either.” We both had a great laugh! As soon as we could get to a telephone, we stopped and called the authorities, but there was nothing much they could do at this point – the gunman had escaped. Josè carefully checked the van for bullet holes. We knew he shot at us because both of us heard the shots, yet, there were NO Bullet Holes or chips in the van paint, which would have been evidence of the shots. We Rejoiced Because We Knew That The Lord Had Been Our Divine Protector!

A REVELATION

"The Holy Spirit immediately gave me a revelation as to what had happened. He said, “When you went into the high praises and worship, you brought down the presence of God as an ‘invisible shield’ from heaven to divinely protect you from the fiery darts (bullets) of the evil one, and “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 He further reminded me of Ezekiel, Chapter nine and said, “Intercessors are marked with a seal of divine protection on their foreheads and a slaughter weapon cannot touch them." To God Be The Glory!

A Prophetic Word From Hilda:

God Does Reveal "His Secrets" To His Servants

"If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn away from their wicked ways;then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Dear Praying Friends, GOD DOES HEAR OUR PRAYERS and when we PRAY it can avert disasters and calamities. Disasters or Calamities are Judgments. On the March 8, 2011, I was interviewed by a local radio station and one of the questions they asked me was, "Why do we need to pray?" I shared with them that one of the reasons to pray presently is that our nation and the nations of the world are under Judgment by the Righteous Judge. God judges people, but nations are judged by disasters and calamities. Judgments can be Averted or Lessened and Sometimes Not, because PRAYER CHANGES THINGS--So truly We Need to Pray! Now our call is to prayer and the outcome is left up to God. Three days later after the radio interview, the Japan disaster took place on March 11, 2011. On March 2, 2010--I sent you a Prayer Focus titled "Revealing His Secrets To His Servants." and in this focus I said many things about the Judgment of Earthquakes and Tsunamis. Quote, "I went on a Radio Station and Prophesied to all those listening to the broadcast and asked them to please pray because Weather Judgments of all kinds were coming including Tsunami Waves. Although Tsunami Waves will hit in different parts of the world we are now pending another one . There is one coming to the Pacific Ocean whose flooding waters will reach a portion of the Western Coast Line of America. IT IS TIME TO PRAY--Judgments can be Lessened and Averted Through Prayer When We Ask God for Mercy." Unquote. If Nations Don't Repent, Every Ten Years the Degree of Judgments Escalate. The Nations Have Not Repented and this includes America--we will see more disasters and calamities of this nature and others! We are now beginning another era (2011) of Harder and Severe Disasters and Calamities. The Urgency was Pray, Pray and many of you did. Thank you for praying, the Waves from the Japan Tsunami did hit the Western Coast Line. The waves were only 5 - 8 ft high, one person was killed (one too many) and minimal damage. YOUR PRAYERS MADE A REAL DIFFERENCE and Hawaii was also Spared Some Real Destruction. Let us keep praying and if you know someone who would like to help us pray, tell them to call or e-mail us--GOD NEEDS MANY MORE PRAYING PEOPLE. In Ezekiel 22:30, it reads "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it: but I found none." You and I are the praying people and together we make a corporate man. To God Be the Glory.

THE SILVER TRUMPET ANNOUNCES- MARCH 2011

“God’s Word for the Hour, Spiritual Detours Needed” by: Prophetess hilda arredondo

Dear Praying Friends, We are quickly moving on into the New Year and many of us are anxiously looking toward our Lord God and wondering what good thing or Word He might have in store for us this New Year. Just recently, I spent some time alone seeking God while He may be found. Among the many things I have heard from Him—one good Word for all of us is to be sensitive in our everyday “course” with Jesus and watch for the DIVINE DETOURS in the Highway of Life. What is a Detour? The Webster Dictionary says that a detour is a roundabout way of “course” especially a road used temporarily instead of a main route. Detour also means “deviation” from a direct course of action to or cause to go by a roundabout way. A very important word here is “deviation”. Deviation means to depart from the accepted norm, or to turn aside. In the book of Acts 8:26, it reads “And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert”. Philip was preaching the gospel in Jerusalem’s surrounding villages winning the Samaritans. He was at a great revival, things were going so well. He felt comfortable where He was at, but suddenly the Holy Spirit told him to leave and go South through the GAZA Desert—surely a spiritual detour!! God sent him to preach Jesus to one Eunuch, a special man, the treasurer of Ethiopia, a Eunuch of great authority and because of Philip's obedience, the eunuch was saved and baptized. In order to accomplish the salvation of this Eunuch, he drew Philip away from the usual highway of a great revival and detoured him to go preach to one man. Philip could have thought this truly is not God--winning many at the revival and now detoured to go to one person?

THE DETOURS OF LIFE ARE FOR A PURPOSE

If you are a child of God, He always has very good reasons why the “detours of life” come. Philip’s obedience raised him to a higher place in the supernatural—he was promoted!! He was a servant that was now ready for the Master’s use. “And when they were come out of the water, the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at A-zo-tus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.” Acts 8:39-40. He had just passed his test for greater “divine appointments” and “assignments” from the Lord. Azotos means fortress or stronghold. Philip was sent there to tear down the principality that had the people in the region in captivity. God wanted to set the captives in those regions free and He did because Philip obeyed.

WILL YOU PASS YOUR TEST OR WILL YOU FAIL

If you encounter a divine spiritual detour this year--How will you handle it, will you pass your test or will you fail it because you cannot change your course? Are you so comfortable that you will not move or obey God? You see, when on a highway headed one way, then suddenly you encounter a detour sign, there are certain emotions that immediately surface in us. You become anxious and possibly fearful because you are not familiar with the new route you will be traveling; therefore, you will have to slow down. You can also become frustrated, pressed for time and you think it is going to mess up your usual schedule. But if our Jesus is in control of our “spiritual detours,” then He is with us in that change and we can trust in the Lord with all our heart; and not lean unto our own understanding, continue to acknowledge him and he will direct our detour. Detours are needed many times because of dangers that lie ahead in the road. That “detour” could spare your life and those that are with you or you could encounter someone who desperately needs your help.

THE GOOD SAMARITAN HELPED A POOR MAN

In Luke 10:30, we read the account of the Good Samaritan. He was on his way to take care of his usual business for the day when he encountered a certain man who was attacked by thieves leaving him half dead. He was stripped of his raiment and wounded. As we read in this chapter, we know that a priest and a Levite passed this man by. They would not take the detour to help this man. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was and when he saw him, he had compassion on him. He bound up his wounds, poured in the oil and the wine and set him on his very own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. He paid his motel bill, so to speak, for the time he needed to recuperate from the beating and wounds. Then the Good Samaritan told the inn keeper, I will stop on my way back and if he owes any money I will take care of it. He had compassion and took the detour from his daily schedule. What an example unto us!

THEIR LIVES WERE SPARED AS THEY WENT ANOTHER WAY

Another example are the wise men that came to see Jesus at his birth, they had to take a detour. Our God knew that Herod was waiting to kill our baby Jesus and God was protecting and watching over the Saviour of the world; therefore, it reads, in Matthew 2: 12, “And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.” The detour was to protect baby Jesus and them from danger and our God showed them another way – a detour. You can be sure that as a child of the Lord, He is watching over us. If you don’t take the detour it could rob you of your blessing. My daughter Debbie shared with me that she had been out running errands during the holiday season and along the way she gave an offering to some church group and in return they gave her this ticket. She looked at it briefly; it was an invite to go to some church who was putting on the birth of Jesus with live actors and animals. She was not familiar with that particular church and didn’t know where it was located. Therefore she dropped the ticket in her purse and went on.

HE IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING TODAY

On a Saturday night her and her husband James were out riding around and they thought let us go and find a place where can get some hot chocolate with marshmallows—James’s favorite. As they were traveling and looking here and there, suddenly a detour sign appeared on the road, so they followed the detour but they didn’t know where it would lead them till finally they came to what appeared a dead end. Staring them in the face was this big beautiful church that had a lot of commotion going on. They thought, well we don’t have anything else to do, let us stop and see what is going on here at this church. Immediately, Debbie remembered the ticket and looked at it and sure enough it was the invite to the birth of Jesus celebration. They went in and enjoyed it thoroughly, when they started to leave walking toward their car, someone came up running and said, “Wait a minute; we have a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows for you!” God is so wonderful, if they had not taken the detour, this couple would have missed their “blessings”, Hot Chocolate and all because they obeyed – our Lord was in control and the Holy Spirit was surely leading. Usually a detour will lead you a different route that you are not familiar with, but usually the detour will lead you back to the main road you were on and as you catch up it will take you to the original destination where you were headed. The secret is this; the detour was needed to get you there. To God be the Glory!
