Prophetic Warnings and Faith

I’ve written before about how God inspires prophetic utterances, and how they sometimes startle me. But, the truth is that I’ve learned to distinguish God’s voice and trust Him when He says something.  That comes with years and years of having my senses trained by the Holy Spirit to know when something is an important message for others in the Body of Christ.

The Bible says that your senses are trained with use.  If you refuse to use what He gives you, you could lose the ability to hear, i.e. if you don’t use it, you lose it!  You must always be willing to “stick your neck out” because if you hold back on what the voice of the Lord gives you, you could eventually lose the ability to discern His voice, or He would simply go on to someone else who would be obedient to speak what He gives you.

In Hebrews 5:14 the Bible says: “But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.”

Recently, the Lord gave me two such prophetic “downloads.”  The first was just one word: “restriction.”  The second was that something very significant was going to happen in the middle of the week during our “Ready NOW Expo.”

As we were taping the show today (Wednesday, October 22, 2014) we received word that the Canadian government on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario had been attacked by a gunman.  As I spoke on the air, the Canadian government went into lock down.  I would say that qualifies as a major “restriction.”

However, I believe there will be more ‘restrictions’ to come as lawlessness breaks out everywhere.  What would happen if they began to shoot up our schools?  We’d go into lockdown!  What would happen if Ebola came to a city near you?  They would, most likely, restrict movement in and around that city.

Personally, it gives me no pleasure to be right about these prophetic downloads that God gives me.  But it does give me confidence in that God loves us enough to want to warn us of things to come.  It also strengthens my faith for the future.

The Lord spoke to me this week about a significant prophetic event in the middle of this conference, and it came to pass.   Then, we have a partial solar eclipse this week as well, which deals with judgment on the gentile nations.  God is speaking loud and clear through His Spirit and through the signs in the heavens.

Canada leaders say today, “Canada will never be the same.”

It won’t be long until we will all echo that same sentiment because the warning lights of Revelation are flashing!  But we can know that in the midst of turmoil, God will steady us and comfort us by His Spirit.

As the world becomes an increasingly hostile place, let’s all remember that the Lord is our Strong Tower and we can run to Him!

  1. The Lord took me out of homes Christmas 2010. He first took me out of cars in 1998, and then homes. I know it is from Him because He told me ahead of time like he warned Abraham…. because He is my friend.
    And I am floored every time I am faced with rejection and insult and prejudice because I am living a difficult life ( the rude people aren’t homeless, so why are they so cold and rude to me……) especially the so-called Christians…. You know one day I was crying about it, and He said,” Well, if you are “homeless” you are in good company” and He showed me that almost every person He called on in the Bible, He first made homeless…. even all the apostles and disciples. And, in fact, He even took homelessness upon himself as the very first act of redemption at birth… He didn’t even have a place to be born! He told us that we are suppose to take in one another, feed one another, clothe one another….. and that it was better for Sodom and Gomorrah than it will be for those who don’t…. So, He also shows me that He used the Old Testament Profits to demonstrate what would come pf the people if they didn’t repent. Being a Servant of the Most High God is not an easy breezy road.
    He is so wonderful to me. He gave me His own house to sleep at. It is a beautiful old church that He just gave to a new spanish speaking congregation. He said there is a room in it that they don’t use that would be perfect for me to use temporarily….. I sleep in the back porch. It is almost a room; It’s enclosed, but it has no door, so I know that His angels surround the building to protect me. He said He told the new Pastor to give me a place to sleep, and the pastor unwittingly said “no”…. so now that whole half of the property is flooded; including the Church…. You don’t tell God what to do with His house….. and they can’t use it….. God is awesome.
    I want to leave. I really don’t like this city. But, the Lord insists that there is going to be a great earthquake very soon, and He wants me to stay until then. Many people will be homeless; wandering around lost with no place to go or be. someone has to help them…… This earthquake is going to devastate most of California. At the same time, something equally devastating is going to happen to New York; and Chicago. I don’t know what exactly, I just know these events will happen at the same time. It will take down the U.S. There will be too much happening at one time that it will make it impossible for the Federal Govt to be able to help anyone….. Babylon is falling; is falling. If you agree to see God’s Word as He shows it, you will have to admit that we are the Great Babylon that will fall in Revelation. It can only be us. Revelation 18 the entire chapter is about the U.S. For decades I have heard people from other countries visiting here, give those very same complaints about the U.S.
    We have bullied people for centuries now. We have imposed our “western culture” upon the World.

    Which is why all the Jews will return to Israel. Revelation 18:4

    In the morning I have to get up early to leave before daylight, because it is safer for me if no one sees me leave.
    I go to a strip mall and sit under the veranda by the little restaurants, drink my cold pressed coffee and have a day old doughnut, and watch the sunrise.
    One morning a couple of weeks ago, the sky was completely pitch black, and flat; very unusual; very eerie. There was no moonlight; nothing. the only light was from the storefronts. It went on longer than it should have naturally; and the Lord said that was an example of what it will be like when the sun and the moon will be darkened. It was scary, and He showed me how people will not want to venture out; and how the cougars and coyotes, and other animals will be wondering around looking for food because the small animals and birds will be dead.

    Jim I wanted to write and tell you what happened to me the other day. I have a condition that requires compression treatment on my legs every day,I want in to do this treatment, had not seen your show that day, laying on my bed next to my pillow was John Shorey’s book Unlocking the book Of Revalation. I had not read it yet, when I opened the book just like Jim I ruffled through the pages and landed on page 108 and my attention was drawn to the bottom of the page to the quote from Rev. 12:7-10. When I got up from doing that treatment which takes 1 hour, I came out of my room, and turned on the TV to your show , John Shorey was on speaking and he was reading Rev 12:7-10, I don’t think it was by accident, I believe God was telling me this was prophetic.

  3. The Sgt At Arms, in the Canadian parliament yesterday, dropped to the floor and shot three times, hitting the attacker with all three shots. Since another pastor in the U.S., gave a specific warning online, many months ago, about an attack in Ottawa, i have prayed almost, every day for our Prime Minister, his family and the government leaders. The fact that that head of security, acted quickly and with such accuracy, to stop this crazed gunman, shows that God’s hand was on him.
