As I was talking with the Lord this morning, I kept hearing him say, You Must Warn America… Are you willing to do this? I continued to commune with Him and I heard him say distinctly LOOK at Isiah 14 verse 15 and begin to read… as I turned there I begin to see some things, I will post for you.

Isaiah 14:15-17

Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths. Everyone there will stare at you and ask, ‘Can this be the one who shook the earth and made the kingdoms of the world tremble? Is this the one who destroyed the world and made it into a wasteland? Is this the king who demolished the world’s greatest cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?’

I have read this scripture numerous times in times past but never have I looked at it as I saw it this morning, as we look upon Japan’s catastrophe we can see what a waste land it will and already has become, and it isn’t over yet… It shows us just how quick some things can and will change for countries… I am sure of this… That there is much more to come, not just in Japan, but in other nations as well as our sweet America…

2 Chronicles 7:14

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

This scripture jumps out to me this morning unlike it ever has before.

Are we called by HIS NAME? are we HIS PEOPLE? are we called Christians saved by the grace of and name of JESUS? or are we still just believing in an escapism mentality? That is we believe that the rapture will take us out before the tribulation comes… or terrible tragedy… I ask you, preach that to the Japanese people today, and see how many you will get saved with that message.

Mark 13:8-13

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I have come to realize that no matter what… we better be prepared to endure to the end… then and only then we shall be saved, so saying that, I must tell you this… I have heard the Lord speaking LOUDLY to me about preparing to face a shortage of things here in America… I am not moved by fear, but by faith and hope and peace… for he gives perfect peace who’s mind is stayed upon HIM…

That is the Key my beloved… keeping your eyes… MIND upon him… how many ours a day are we spending doing other things when we should be taring up ourselves to keep our minds upon HIM? The answer is to many… we… including myself are not prepared for what is about to take place… we are laxed in our commune time… if the food shortage began tomorrow, how long would it be before you cried to the system for help? But if you believe the Word..His word says that MY SEED… shall NOT be Begging for bread… when we shop, we sometimes get enough groceries to put some in the freezer… that way we are prepared for when we are short on food in the fridge… My Mother used to say ..Alan Use your God Given Common Sense that HE gave you.

Well it’s time we use our GOD Given Sense HE Gave US All… prepare… for food prices will sore in these coming days as well as fuel… DON’T panic… Just prepare… It is your GOD GIVEN Common Sense.

With every new year we tend to stop and reflect on the past, on victories, mistakes, failures, hopes, dreams, disappointments and determine in our heart that the new year will be better than the last, it is new; a chance to start over. We take a deep breath and plunge into January 2. Our lives are so hectic we barely have a chance to breathe; let alone take ten minutes out of our schedules just to talk to our heavenly Father. The pages of our Bibles are rarely open, because who has time to read? And the New Year suddenly takes on the same costume of the last, perhaps even a little more hectic and stifling.

God has been directing me into a place I will call “Standing still”. There are many passages where God reminds us to be quiet, to stand, to be still, why? Because when we actually do this, we take ourselves out of the way and God can move for us. He can place us, he can speak to and for us; He can actually use us!

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” –Psalms 46:1

When life becomes overwhelming with hurt, disappointment and trials, it would really be a benefit to us if we could remember that there is a place we can run to that will protect us, nourish us, give us strength and courage, and that is right into the safety of God’s arms!

“Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Thought its water roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.” –Psalms 46:2-5

Fear disarms us of faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God. But how do we stop fear of that paralyzing terror of what is known, or even unknown; the noise of our own imaginations screaming to be heard, the voices of others proclaiming catastrophe, and speaking failure into our lives. God wants us to KNOW that no matter what is going on around us, no matter what the circumstances we find ourselves in, no matter where we are He is in control. He is in to the midst of us. HE LIVES, he dwells, IN us. If we can really get a hold of that reality; that God LIVES in us, what could really come against us and succeed?

“The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.” –Psalms 46:6-7

It really doesn’t matter how fierce an enemy, how strong and seemingly insurmountable a circumstance is, chaos surrounding you like a storm when God speaks to you and into your life those things must fall away, and melt like wax IF we have faith and we seek Him as our refuge!

When God speaks everything else seems to melt away in comparison. Only we must hear Him in order for us to receive the benefit of His voice in our life! How? By taking a deep breath, calming our spirit, and sitting still so that He can speak. Think about it. Can you really talk effectively to someone who is jumping up and down, spewing off all their thoughts, fears, concerns, and not really listening to what you have to say? It’s the same with the Father; we have to LISTEN in order to hear. He speaks to us many ways; through His written word, He speaks to our hearts, our minds, through others. But we must be willing to LISTEN.

“Come; behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth: The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.” –Psalms 46:8-11

God wants to work wonders and miracles in our lives. This is a call to look back in history how God has destroyed cities, kingdoms, nations, for the sake of His own. He can bring peace where peace seems like just a wild dream. He can destroy the weapons of enemies; and simply cut off their resource to harm you. Only he wants us to BE STILL, to calm our hearts and minds, to listen to His voice, and realize that HE is God, and He has a plan and purpose for our lives! Plans to prosper you, and never harm you. He is your hope and refuge.

My resolution this year is to learn to stand in the midst of chaos, and be still, to be silent and let God move in my behalf. The voice of defeat, is a loss of faith, the sound of murmuring and complaining cuts off the blessings God has in store for us. I will bless the Lord at all times, and magnify His holy name. I will trust and believe that the word of my God is exalted in my life. Amen

As Samson shook himself free from the restrictions of the enemy, and destroyed and tore down the idols of the Philistines, so am I calling you to do.

Arise and Awaken my people, for now is the time to let your voices be heard, now is the time to put away everything that has hindered you, that has distracted you, and that has held you captive. Hear me now, for I am bringing you into a new dimension in My Spirit, and if you will walk in my Spirit, and heed my voice I will bring you into new territories and there will be no boundaries that will hold you back.

I have gently cradled you in my hand, I have nourished you with my Word and promises; but now I am breathing my power into you, and placing your feet on solid ground. I am sounding the alarm to AWAKE and ARISE and to shake yourselves; I am calling you to be bold and courageous. My Word that you have hid in your hearts will resound to the nations. Lift up your voices and be heard!

Truly as Samson was blinded by his enemy and brought into captivity, My Spirit was with him. And when the fullness of time had come, and he remembered who he was in me, his end was greater than his beginning. So it is with my people, too long they have been held captive and blinded by this world; but I am shaking, and I am calling them to awake and arise. My Spirit is blowing over the earth, shifting and moving the atmosphere. And so greater will this latter church be than the former. Truly it will be as the days my prophet Joel prophesied, My Spirit will move in the earth; on your sons and your daughters, on the old and the young alike. A visitation of holiness and reverence for my presence will manifest in my house and you will be changed in that presence. A new song will spring forth in the hearts of my people, a song of deliverance, a song of healing, a song of praise, a song of worship; and the whole earth will be affected.

So awake and arise! Move forward, and release the power of My presence in your life, and the lives around you. It is time, indeed it is time to shake off all that has held you back; stepping out and forward in faith, and fear of man will no longer restrain you. Even hear Me now and delay no longer, and know and understand that this is My day, and My hour that I have set aside for purpose and destiny in your lives and for man on the earth. How I love you, and desire you to embrace all that I have for you. Awake… Arise my bride.

Meetings were transferred to the former African Methodist Episcopal
Church at 312 Azusa Street. During the next few days as they were
renovating the lumber store the first convert was recorded. One of the
women who were cleaning the building had one of the workmen down on his
knees and he was soundly converted before the place was opened.

On Easter Sunday morning (April 15th) Jennie Evans Moore took the
Asbery’s to Smale’s church. After the sermon, when Smale invited
testimonies. Jennie took the floor and told the congregation what had
taken place in the Asbery home and in Azusa Street. She then spoke in
tongues and the awed congregation heard Ruth Asbery give the
interpretation.

On Tuesday a reporter from the Los Angeles Times visited Azusa Street.
On the following day the paper carried the report of this visit. The
same paper led with a report of the San Francisco earthquake that
resulted in the death of 10,000 people.

Excerpt from the Stanley Frodisham prophecy from 1965:

http://www.propheciesfortoday.uk.com/listA.php?id=174

With great judgements will I plead with the population of this country. Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard My gospel but no longer walk in it. My wrath shall come upon them. The darkness shall be so great and the anguish so sore that men shall cry out for death and shall not find it. There shall be a lingering death, famine and great catastrophes.

The prophecy above is not the only one in modern times that I have come across that states the Lord is not pleased with his church and we will be judged to bring us back to him. It’s pretty clear in the Word of God concerning the sins of Israel.

Also from the Stanley Frodisham prophecy:

When I visit My people in mighty revival power, it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the Glory shall come great darkness, for the Glory is to prepare My people for the darkness.

Rain is falling in the sanctuary, drink it in! Soak up the outpouring of His Spirit, be refreshed and renewed. Surrender completely to His will and plan and the blessing that obedience brings forth will be so overwhelming you will not be able to contain it, and so don’t contain it… let it flow from you like living water, bringing refreshing and healing to everyone that you come in contact with. Rain is falling in the sanctuary, drink it in! With open hearts and arms receive the blessing of the Lord! You are the sanctuary of the Living God; vessels of honor, channels of power to be used for His purpose and glory. Receive of the Lord all that he has for you, for He has plans and purpose for you; you have a destiny that must be fulfilled.

Rain is falling in the sanctuary, drink it in! It is the infusion of God’s strength to you. Soak it up, let it completely saturate your being! Let it fall, let it flow, let it cleanse.
