PREFACE

I had a supernatural encounter with the Living God in the fall of 1977. It began with a dream of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and continued over the next several days. Prior to having this

vision in the night I had been unfamiliar with what the Bible said

about the Second Coming of the Lord. However, in that encounter I

saw things supernaturally revealed which were later confirmed to me

in the Bible. It rocked my world!

For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not

perceive it. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep

falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, 16 Then He opens

the ears of men, and seals their instruction.

Job 33:14-16

As I awoke the Holy Spirit rested upon me and made me know

that I was not ready for His Second Coming. He also made me realize

that I needed to repent, be washed from my sins by faith in Jesus and

must surrender my life to Him. At that point I irrevocably gave my life

Preface | 7

to Christ and said, Yes! to His call to preach His Word. I have the privi-

lege of continuing to say, Yes! to him each day and, by the grace of

God I have been serving Him for the last 38 years.

Since that first prophetic dream, through Gods mercies, I have

had innumerable prophetic dreams from the Lord. God has used these

encounters in the night to reveal things to come, to give words of wis-

dom, lead me to prosper, to expose demonic plans, give warnings of

danger, show me things to pray for, and bring revelation that gives

hope and courage. Some words given through these night visions

have been for me personally. Others words from the Lord have been

for other individuals or the congregation that we pastor in Southern

California. Still other words have been for the USA or other nations.

Many people throughout the earth are having prophetic dreams from

the Lord Jesus. We are living in the last days when God is pouring out

His Spirit on all flesh.

In this small book I have written a series of revelations given by

the Lord Jesus Christ, concerning the USA, which I received beginning

in 2007. These revelations are prophetic words that contain HOPE for

the future of the USA. They include wisdom and counsel on what is

coming and how to successfully navigate the unprecedented days

ahead. While it is true that we are headed into some of the darkest

days of our nations history, the darkness will not overcome the ap-proaching and unprecedented glory that will be seen in this nation. We are entering the most glorious time in church history!

8 | The Resurrection of the USA

In Chapter 1 that follows, we will begin by reviewing a little

bit of what the Bible says about (1 ) dreams and visions, and ( 2 ) inter-

preting dreams. I will share a couple of prophetic dreams in order to

illustrate their impact and how God uses them to speak to us today.

As God has done for thousands of years, He continues today to use

dreams and visions to speak His Word to us, if we are willing to listen.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will

pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters

shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men

shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maid-

servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall

prophesy. - Acts 2:17-18

But He (Jesus) answered and said, It is written, Man shall not

live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the

mouth of God. Matthew 4:4

CHAPTER ONEDreams and Interpreting

Dreams

***

G od uses dreams to warn and guide his people. In the first two chapters of the Gospel of Matthew, four (4) times God spoke to Joseph through dreams to guide him as he led Mary and the Lord

Jesus Christ when He was a small child.

In Matthew Chapter 1, Herod wanted to find out where the

Christ child was in order to kill him. Through a dream the Lord warned

the wise men from the East not to return to Herod. God did this to


preserve His Son.

In Genesis 37, the Lord used dreams to speak to Joseph about

his destiny.

In Genesis 41 God gave Pharaoh dreams which Joseph inter-

preted. These dreams and their interpretations were Gods warnings

and wisdom to save a nation and the surrounding nations from fam-

ine.

In 1 Kings 3:5-15 God appeared to Solomon in a dream. This

was real. Solomons answer to the Lords question in the dream had

real implications and resulted in God blessing Solomon with a gifting

of unprecedented wisdom. Because the Lord Jesus, saints or angels

appear in dreams does not make it any less real. God speaks through dreams! When God speaks through dreams, He can speak plainly, so

that there is no need of interpretation, such as when He told Joseph

not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife (Matthew 1:20-21), or when

God told Joseph to flee with Mary and the Christ child to Egypt (Mat-

thew 2:13-14).

In some dreams the Lord chooses to speak through symbolic

images, pictures, types and shadows. Dreams like this require inter-

pretation. Genesis 41:15-36 records two dreams that Pharaoh had.

These dreams could not be interpreted by human reasoning, logic or

speculation. They had to be interpreted by Divine revelation. Joseph

knew that in himself he did not have the interpretation, but the inter-

pretation was given to him by God.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and there is no one

who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can under-

stand a dream, to interpret it. 16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying,

Dreams and Interpreting Dreams | 11

It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: Behold, in my dream I stood on the

bank of the river. 18 Suddenly seven cows came up out of the river, fine

looking and fat; and they

fed in the meadow. 19 Then

behold, seven other cows

came up after them, poor

and very ugly and gaunt,

such ugliness as I have

never seen in all the land

of Egypt. 20 And the gaunt

and ugly cows ate up the first seven, the fat cows. 21 When they had

eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for

they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke.

22 Also I saw in my dream, and suddenly seven heads came up on one

stalk, full and good. 23 Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and

blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them. 24 And the thin heads

devoured the seven good heads. So I told this to the magicians, but there

was no one who could explain it to me. 25 Then Joseph said to Pharaoh,

The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is

about to do: 26 The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven

good heads are seven years; the dreams are one. 27 And the seven thin

and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven

empty heads blighted by the east wind are seven years of famine.

28 This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pha-

raoh what He is about to do. 29 Indeed seven years of great plenty will

come throughout all the land of Egypt; 30 but after them seven years of

famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt;

and the famine will deplete the land. 31 So the plenty will not be known in

Flight Into Egypt


the land because of the famine following, for it will be very severe.

32 And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is

established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. 33 Now there-

fore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the

land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over

the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the

seven plentiful years. 35 And let them gather all the food of those good

years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh,

and let them keep food in the cities. 36 Then that food shall be as a re-

serve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land

of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.

From Verse 25 through 36 Joseph tells Pharaoh what God has

revealed to him. Both dreams are one (the same message). The cows

represent years. The heads ( of grain) are also years. The dream was re-

peated twice to Pharaoh because the thing is established by God and

God will shortly bring it to pass.

After interpreting the

dreams Joseph then continues

speaking to Pharaoh with words

of wisdom and instruction from

God given to Joseph in regard to

the coming years of plenty and

years of famine which the dreams

spoke about. Where did Joseph get this wisdom and understanding?

How would anyone know that a cow represented a year?

In Genesis 41:16 Joseph said to Pharaoh: It is not in me; God

will give Pharaoh an answer of peace. As mentioned previously,

Joseph interpretting Pharaohs dream. Reginald Arthur 1894


dreams like this cannot be interpreted by human logic, reasoning or

speculation. They must be interpreted by Divine revelation.

So after Joseph interpreted the dreams for Pharaoh, God continued

speaking to him; giving him Divine counsel and wisdom for the situ-

ation. This has been my experience innumerable times since 1977.

Many times when I receive a dream from the Lord, upon awakening

the Lord will begin speaking to me. He will walk me back through the

dream and explain it to me. He will tell me what each person, place,

thing, feeling or experience means. Often He will then continue with

more information, wisdom and counsel as He did with Joseph. The

reason I am saying this is that this is how I received the words from the

Lord related to the night visions I am about to share with you. I did

not interpret the dreams myself, but rather the Lord spoke to me and

interpreted them. Often, after interpreting the vision He will continue

speaking to me with wise counsel.

A Dream Alerting Me to My Mothers Death

In 2002 I received a dream from the Lord concerning my moth-

er. It illustrates how God interpreted the night vision and the words

of counsel He spoke afterwards. As you read further in this book, I will

share some prophetic visions concerning the USA. In those experienc-

es, the Lord spoke to me and then interpreted the dreams as I awoke.

DREAM: I was with my mother in her Ford van, driving down a highway toward her home in the town where she lived. It was dark

outside, about 9:00 pm and raining. She was driving and I was in the

front passenger seat. We had been driving along the highway, with-

out incident, for quite some time. Then she casually slowed down

and pulled off the highway into the parking lot of a small strip mall. I


thought she was going to stop and maybe go into a store. Instead she

kept driving slowly, turned around in the parking lot and was heading

back out toward the highway to continue driving home.

Directly in front of us in the parking lot was a puddle of water that

looked like it was about twelve (12) feet in diameter and about three

(3) inches deep. Of course this would be something that she would

normally just drive right through. As she drove into the puddle, it

turned out to be very deep quicksand. The van made an immediate

nosedive and, in only a few seconds, sunk completely beneath the sur-

face of the parking lot.

Shocked at this sudden and unexpected turn, I immediately realized

that there was no hope of recovery for either one of us and we would

soon be dead. I had peace knowing that I would be with the Lord. I

then turned and looked at my mother. She was gripped with fear and

panic. I leaned over to place my hand on her forearm and spoke calm-

ly with her. I encouraged her to not fear, but to trust God. I reminded

her of how the Lord Jesus died for her on the cross. I then led her in a

prayer to commit herself, in faith, to the Lord Jesus Christ.

INTERPRETATION: As I awoke, the Lord began speaking with me. He said Driving at night through the rain for quite a while

represents the illness (blood disease) your mother has had for several

years. It has been manageable. (She would visit the doctor weekly for

an evaluation and she would usually receive a shot that would keep

her going almost symptom free). Regarding the pause in the parking

lot and then plunging into the quicksand, the Lord said: You will get

a phone call from your sister. She will call to tell you that your mother

has a very minor medical issue. She will tell you that because it is mi-

nor that you should not worry, she will be fine. Just like your mother


thought that she would drive right through what seemed to be a small

puddle and she would pull right back out onto the highway, but in-

stead plunged immediately into quicksand, this will not be a minor

medical issue. She will get much worse and die very quickly.

When you get this phone call

from your sister, immediately drive to visit

your mother. Stay with her. Pray with her,

love her and encourage her to trust Me.

She will die very soon after you get this

call. If you do not go and stay with her,

she will die all alone.

I told my wife what the Lord had

revealed. About one year later, I was at

home when my younger sister called me. It happened exactly as the

Lord had said. She told me that my mother had a minor infection and

the doctor wanted to keep her overnight in the hospital. She said it

would be just for one night so she could be on antibiotics and that she

would be released the next day. I thanked my sister for the call and

hung up. I then turned to my wife and told her That was the phone

call the Lord told me about one year ago. My mother is going to die

very soon. I must go be with her. (She lived about 140 miles away).

I went to see my mother and everything happened just as I

was shown in the dream. She took a sudden turn for the worse and

began to die. I stayed with her. I talked to her about forgiving those

who had offended her. I talked to her about trusting the Lord Jesus

Christ. I prayed with her, comforted her and held her hand as she took

My mother, Rosemary Sweet, as a teen in 1942.


her last breath.

I couldnt have interpreted that dream by human reasoning,

logic or speculation. The Lord interpreted the dream and added more

wisdom and counsel. Thank God for prophetic dreams and His wise

counsel!

I did thank the Lord for giving me this night vision. As I was

thanking God and pondering how he had forewarned me about my

moms passing, it was then that I remembered what my mother had

told me about my own birth. She had four miscarriages before she had

me in 1956. When she was carrying me, she started to hemorrhage

and almost lost me.

Back in those days doctors made house calls. The doctor ad-

vised her that the chances of her carrying me to full term were not

good. Her best hope, he advised her, would be to stay in bed for the

remaining months of her pregnancy and pray. She did just that. As

she lay in bed for the next several months, she dedicated me to the

Lord while I was in her womb. She told the Lord that if I lived she would

name me Joseph after Joseph in the Old Testament. God answered

her and my fathers prayers. I made it here! When I was a teenager

my father bought me a coat of many colors and a Bible for Christmas.

It would be a few more years (at age 21) until I would read that Bible

and have a life changing awakening, thus beginning the most exciting

journey of fulfilling my eternal destiny in Christ.

I realized that my Mom had prayed me in to this world. The Lord

remembered what she did and, by speaking through a dream, sent me


to be with her and strengthen her on her way out. We really do reap

what we sow. God does not forget the smallest act of love that we do

(Hebrews 6:10). Praise God for His goodness!

A Dream to Keep a Young Man from a Demonic Trap

DREAM: A few years ago I was given a dream from the Lord concerning a young man that I know. Again, there is no way it could

have been interpreted through human wisdom, reasoning, or logic.

Afterwards the Lord spoke to me, explaining what it meant and giving

me further counsel.

The Lord revealed to me that this young man wanted to train

for and pursue MMA (mixed martial arts) fighting. Through vivid pro-

phetic revelation the Lord showed me that it was a satanic trap set for

him to steal his eternal destiny in Christ. Satan made him think it was

a harmless and innocent sport. To the contrary, I was shown in the

dream that the MMA culture is infested with all kinds of evil spirits that

bind the participants and the spectators.

I saw that as he entered into this sport, he literally transformed

into a sitting duck. Then a number of demons surrounded him and

built a cage or prison around his mind. The prison itself was made out

of demons. He was now incapable of hearing any advice from anyone

who knew better and could warn him. He was shown to me in the

dream to be deaf and blind. (however in the natural he could hear and

see). I then saw the demons who had built a prison around him carry

him off of a sporting field into the wilderness. As he disappeared into

the wilderness a great sadness filled my heart. I was made to know


that, if this was allowed to happen, he would never be seen again and,

having been taken captive to demons, would miss his eternal destiny.

As I awoke the Lord spoke to me and said: Satan is luring him

into MMA fighting. He has already convinced him to pursue this. He

will not listen to you or anyone else that tries to warn him. All you can

do is pray. If he goes into MMA fighting he will become bound by the

demonic spirits and deep deception. He will lose his eternal destiny in

Me. You must pray fervently. Do not stop praying until he is free.

I thanked God for this dream and began to pray, never saying

a word about it to the young man. Surprisingly, the very next day he

came to tell me, excitedly, that he and a friend were making plans to

train to become MMA fighters. Wow! What a confirmation to what the

Lord had just told me.

I prayed fervently, day and night, over the next several weeks.

After a few weeks of prayer this young man said that he and his friend

had changed their minds and were not, after all, going to become

MMA fighters. Thank God for answering prayers in the Name of Jesus!

Remember Galatians 5:6, faith works by love. It is love that fuels

the furnace of intercessory prayer. Moved by love, I continued to pray

for him to be drawn close to the Lord Jesus. I asked God to give him a

prophetic dream that would speak to his heart. The next day he came

and told me how he had woken up crying because he had a dream

about getting a new heart.

About that same time his heart literally became more and

more awakened to the Lord until he began to run after a close walk

with God. Thank God for prophetic dreams! Through that prophetic

warning not only were the enemys plans exposed, but God gave the

wisdom on how to overcome the demonic plot, and spare a young

man from eternal grief.

CHAPTER TWOVision of the Future of the USA

***

Most of the time, whenever I receive a dream from the Lord, as I awake He begins to speak to me. That is how it was when I received the following prophetic dreams. I will share the dream

first and then tell you what the Lord Jesus Christ said to me.

VISION OF THE FUTURE OF THE USA - AUGUST, 2009

DREAM: My family lived on a large ranch in the rolling hills away from the city. I had been away from the ranch for a while leav-

ing my wife to oversee things in my absence. While I was gone from

the ranch, I saw a nineteen year old young man who had grown up in

Vision of the Future of the USA | 21

the inner city who came to visit the ranch. He was being given an op-

portunity to visit the ranch so he could experience another kind of life

besides inner city ghetto.

This young man, upon seeing the beautiful ranch, the coun-

tryside and the forest that bordered the property, told my wife that

he wanted to go hunting. He had never hunted before. He had no

training, no experience and no hunting license. However, my wife, being nave herself regarding hunting, felt compassion for the inexpe-

rienced youth, and she gave him my high powered hunting rifle. He

took the rifle, thanked her and told her that he was headed out into

the nearby forest to go hunting. However, he had lied to her. Instead

of going out hunting in the forest, he went over to a corral where we

kept a large, handsome, prize bull. He shot the prize bull. He did not

make a shot to the vital organs that would have made a quick, clean

kill. He shot it in the gut. It appeared that his shot inflicted a mortal

wound but because it was in the gut, the bull was suffering a slow,

painful death.

Just then I returned to the ranch and arrived on the scene. I

saw the bull lying in the corral on its side. It was trembling with its legs

twitching, as if in death throes. It was a pathetic sight. I was very an-

gry at this foolish, lying, inexperienced teenager for what he did. Be-

cause it looked certain that the bull was dying, I told him to shoot the

bull in the head. I felt it was the only humane thing to do at this point.

The teen took aim but was such a poor shot he completely missed the

bull.


Still angry at him for what he did I forcibly took the rifle away

from him. As I held my rifle I noticed that he had seriously abused it.

Although the rifle had been given to him in very good condition, now

it had deep scratches on it in several places. I proceeded to attempt

to put the bull out of its misery so I aimed at the bulls head. However,

just as I was pulling the trigger, the bull morphed into a man! Because

the bull changed shapes into a man, I missed. I was shocked. I was

greatly relieved but at the same time I felt terrible that I had just tried

to shoot a wounded man in the head. I looked at this man lying in the

corral. His body was bleeding and seemed mangled as if he had not

only been shot but trampled. His intestines were spilled out on the

ground. It was a gruesome sight as he was covered with blood and

dust.

Then something very miraculous happened: the resurrection

power of God fell on him! The man began to pull himself together in a

matter of seconds. He reached out and put his guts back into himself.

Instantly his abdomen healed over. Then the rest of his body started

healing up in a moment. He was miraculously and almost instanta-

neously healed. He stood up and it seemed that he was about 98%

healed. I was stunned! He looked a bit shaken and there was some

blood and dust that remained on him but it was absolutely miracu-

lous. It was an astounding resurrection!

He then turned to walk toward me. Feeling badly that I had

just tried to shoot him, I was afraid he was going to be angry at me for

trying to shoot him.

As he walked toward me I saw that it was a man of God: John


Kilpatrick! This man was a former leader of a revival of righteousness

in America. As he walked up to me he put his teeth back in his mouth,

wiped some blood from his face and was now 100% healed. He boldly

and resolutely declared I was NOT giving up to die. I was believing

God for a miracle! Then with love and tenderness he said I forgive

you.

INTERPRETATION: This is what the Lord communicated to me after I awoke from the prophetic dream: The young man was

Barack Obama. (In the dream I saw Obamas face on the teenage boy.)

As I was initially absent from the ranch, I represented those people

in the church in the US who were absent from their moral and civic

responsibility as salt and light. My wife who gave the teen my rifle

represented those who foolishly voted for Obama out of misguided

compassion (for race issues, the poor, welfare, etc.) Their votes gave

the teenager (Obama) the authority (gun). They wanted to give the

poor or minorities a chance to do something they always wanted to

do. However Obama is an illegitimate person (in the dream he was

untrained and had no license) in the office of president and has no real

executive experience or qualifications for what he is doing. Pretend-

ing like he is going hunting he is willfully using the authority given

to him to shoot the bull (destroy the US and its economy). The bull

represented the United States, its strength and also a strong economy

(bull market).

(What the Obama administration has done and is doing is

shooting the guts out of our nation. The enormous federal bail outs,

unprecedented escalation of national debt, massive printing of fiat

currency and the HealthCare Act imposed against the will of the ma-


jority are essentially gutting our economy. Obamas anti-Israel, anti-

Christian, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion and liberal socialist agenda

has promoted the increasing spread of moral darkness in our nation).

Obama could have been prevented from receiving presidential power

(the gun) but he was not because there were those in our nation (rep-

resented in the dream by myself ) who were absent, not fulfilling their

calling and responsibility to pray, vote and stand for righteousness.

That left others (with misguided & misinformed human compassion)

to give him the rifle (power). Human compassion can be as contrary to

Gods will as human oppression. (Remember when Peter, moved with

human compassion, tried to prevent the Lord Jesus Christ from going

to the cross. Jesus rebuked him saying: Get behind Me satan. You are an offense to Me for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men. Matthew 16:23)

After Obama shot the bull, the rifle (presidential power) was

taken from him by force. The rifle (authority) had been severely

abused. He has been abusing and continues to abuse the power given

to him. Just as he was only a teenager in the dream and had no expe-

rience or hunting license, Obama is truly unqualified. His illegitimate

presidency will be taken from him by force. He will not finish his pres-

ent term.

The Lord said that the condition of the US is going to get

much worse than it presently is. The US will be knocked down, seri-

ously wounded in her guts, bleeding and trembling, as if in the death

throes. We will have lost our teeth (military strength). I was told that

things in the USA will get so bad that nearly everyone within and with-

out the USA (unless they have revelation from God) will believe that it

is all over for the USA; that our nation will not survive. Yes, it will get


that bad.

The Lord spoke Hosea 13:11 to me about Obama: I gave you a king in My anger, and took him away in My wrath. The Lord gave Obama as a judgment to our nation. However, Obama is not the root

problem. He is only a symptom of a wayward nation that, for the most

part, has turned its back on God. The USA was given a president in ac-

cordance with her ungodly desires. The real root problem in the USA is

a people who have turned their backs on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Most in our nation, including in the church, still do not even

know that the USA is now in the midst of Divine judgment. The USA

is about to suffer economic devastation. This will lead to severe civil

unrest in many parts of the USA. (Long after I received this dream I

heard revelation from trusted and proven prophetic men that I know

personally, that this will lead to martial law in parts of our nation, and

ultimately to invasion of foreign military powers for a season.) It will

look like it is all over for the USA. It is not! God will allow this divine

chastisement to awaken our nation and help us turn back to Him.

When it seems all is lost, there will be transformation, resurrection

and re-birth of this republic. An UNPRECEDENTED NATIONAL

REVIVAL OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will come to our land. We must pray,

fight and believe GOD for this. It is the Word of the Lord. It will certainly come!

God forgives us for our foolish choices when we repent. God

deeply loves His people and has a plan to awaken and redeem this na-

tion. What happened in Brownsville, Florida under the leadership of


John Kilpatrick will eventually happen all over our nation. Multitudes,

even the majority of our entire nation, will turn to the Lord in true,

humble repentance. We will see demonstrations and manifestations

of the kingdom of God that have never been seen before. Everyone

will know that the only way the U.S.A. survived and was resurrected is

by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

The Church Must Change First August, 2009

DREAM: I saw myself praying on my knees in my bedroom. During my prayer someone walked in my room and told me I was in-

vited by President Obama to a function at the White House to pray and

speak a few words at an official function. I was encouraged thinking

that I would perhaps be able to bring the influence of the Lord, which

is so desperately needed, to the White House.

I agreed to go and President Obama sent his driver to pick me

up and bring me to the function. The driver was an immigrant from

Mexico. He was a terrible driver! Continually breaking traffic laws, he

had a total disregard for everyone else on the road. He even drove up

on the sidewalk to bypass traffic disregarding any pedestrians. At one

point he almost ran into a semi-truck parked on the side of the road.

I wasnt sure we would make it to the White House function alive. His

reckless disregard for everyone but himself made me very nervous. As

I was sitting in the front seat with this driver, I thought How arrogant,

lawless and disrespectful. Yet he seemed oblivious.

As we were getting nearer to the White House I noticed I wasnt

wearing proper attire for such a function. My shirt and pants did not


match. I told the driver I need to go back. I must change before I can come to the White House.

INTERPRETATION: The driver of the car which was sent by the White House represents the lawlessness and disregard for righ-

teousness in the present administration. In the dream I represented

the church who is praying for change in our nations government. Be-

fore we can see the nation changed THE CHURCH MUST CHANGE. The

Lord then said:

If My people, which are called by My Name, will humble them-selves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

The primary focus of the praying church must not be on pray-

ing for the White House to change. We must make it a top priority to

pray for the lukewarm church in America to wake up to the beauty of

the Lord Jesus Christ and become a red-hot House of Prayer.

The church in America must return to her first love: the Lord

Jesus Christ. We need fresh revelation of Jesus Christ as the Holy One.

The church in the USA must recover true holiness, love, humility, con-

secration, prayer and obedience to Gods Word. When the church

awakens and turns wholeheartedly to the Lord then God will heal this

land.

Jesus said My House shall be called a House of Prayer. Matthew 21:13

Presently, prayer meetings are the least attended meetings in the


American church. We must pray that Christians will repent and begin

to truly love God, deny their flesh, take up the cross and follow Him; We

must pray that there will be such a change in the American church so

that Christians will pursue holy lives of prayer, love and joyful service

to God. Laziness, compromise and mixture must be replaced with

clean hands and pure hearts. When the church turns wholeheartedly

to the Lord and burns with first love we will be the House of Prayer

that God intends and will then have power to affect the nation.

Churches Everywhere Must Become HOUSES OF PRAYER

What the Lord Jesus Christ did in Matthew 21:12-16 will be

done again in our nation.

Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.

14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. 15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! they were indignant 16 and said to Him, Do You hear what these are saying?

And Jesus said to them, Yes. Have you never read,Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have per-

fected praise?

Notice the prophetic progression: 1. The Lord Jesus cleaned His house. He was not subtle. He was

direct and abrupt. He severely disrupted the status quo. He will

do the same in our day.

2. He declared that His house would be a House of Prayer. The

judgments and disruptions will help the church wake up and be-

come a House of Prayer.

3. The sick and lame came to Him and were miraculously healed.

As the church seeks Gods face in prayer, His grace and redemptive

power will be released in unprecedented ways.

4. The little children began to praise Him. A revival broke out

among the youth and so will it be throughout our land.

For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those

who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17-18

The shakings that are now upon us are for the purpose of driv-

ing out of the church everything that hinders love for God and love

for His will. When the first commandment (loving God with the whole

heart) is first place in the church, we will see the Lord Jesus releasing

unprecedented miracle and healing power. This will bring in an un-

precedented harvest of people to the Lord Jesus Christ. It will result in

the young ones praising God. Yes, God will pour out His Spirit on all

flesh, and even nursing babes will praise Him.

The pressures coming on the earth, and in our nation specifi-



cally, are designed to drive us to prayer; to seek the Lord; to give up

our idols (of entertainment, lukewarmness, selfish ambition, pride,

pleasure seeking, lust of the eyes, fleshliness, prayerlessness, etc.) We

will see the fear of God restored. Holiness will become the norm and

God will raise up a people who find their joy in loving and serving Him.

He will heal our land.

How to Prosper During Economic Judgment in the USA 2007

DREAM: I found myself walking along the bank of a beau-tiful lake to my left. To my right was a wonderful expanse of open

green grass with a few trees sprinkled near the bank of the lake. There

were beautiful amber colored leaves from the trees on the ground. As

I was walking, looking down at the grass in front of me, I saw a rain-

bow trout that had been caught; presumably by a fisherman at the

lake. This trout had been abandoned on the grassy bank of the lake

and had dried out so that it looked almost like jerky. I walked a little

farther and then saw a small pile of rainbow trout. There were three or

four of them that had also been caught and left on the bank to dry out

until they looked like jerky. As I continued walking I then came upon

a rainbow trout lying on the bank of the lake that had been recently

caught. It was still fresh and wet from the lake.

Then I looked to my right and saw a blanket that was spread on

the grass, near this recently caught fish, as if there had been a person

previously sitting on it. Next to the blanket was an abandoned fishing

pole. I then looked into the lake water and saw that it was teeming

with thousands of beautiful rainbow trout. I was puzzled as to why


people would catch fish and then just abandon them. I thought it was

strange that no one was at this lake fishing.

I thought I should go get my five children and bring them here

to go fishing. I knew they would all catch a lot of fish. As I was think-

ing this I looked up and the grassy expanse to my right had changed.

It was now a large ocean bay. I was standing on a green peninsula

with the beautiful rainbow-trout filled lake to my left. As I looked to

my right, across the bay, on the other side was a thick wooded forest.

I watched as an extremely large grizzly bear came out of the woods.

It looked as if it was twenty feet tall and ten feet around. It quickly

slipped into the water and very rapidly began swimming directly to-

ward me. It was submerged in the water and approaching me stealth-

ily but moving very fast. Only its ears, eyes and nose were above wa-

ter.

I knew it was headed toward me to devour me and it was com-

ing so quickly I didnt think I had time to run to safety. Just then I heard

the voice of the Lord say Jump into the lake. I dove in and swam un-

der the surface so that I was about three feet under the water. I then

heard the Lord say again You must dive deep into the water. Those

who stay on the surface will be devoured by the bear. Obeying again,

I swam down to the bottom of the lake and sat there. I was about 15

to 20 feet below the surface of the lake. I asked the Lord How will I live

down here? He immediately replied I will keep you alive. The dream

ended.

INTERPRETATION: This is what the Lord said: This dream is about the coming economic judgment on the USA. Just as Elisha

called bears out of the woods as a judgment on those who mocked


the prophet, judgment is coming on the USA for rejecting the Lord

(2 Kings 2:23-24). The bear coming out of the woods is larger than any

bear you have ever seen. This speaks of the intensity of the financial

woes coming upon your nation. The lake that is filled with rainbow

trout speaks of the water of My Word that is filled with thousands of

promises. Those who will survive and even prosper in the days that

are now at hand must dive wholeheartedly into My Word. They must

not be shallow in their walk with Me but immerse themselves in My

Word and surround themselves with My promises. I will keep them

alive. Those who only have a surface knowledge of My Word will be

devoured by the turbulent days ahead.

The dried fish left on the bank of the lake, and the absence of

people fishing in a lake teeming with fish speaks of the lack of inter-

est and lack of hunger for Gods Word by many Christians. The cares

of life and other loves draw them away and they are neglecting My

Word. The water of My Word is rich with thousands of promises that

will sustain anyone who dives into it. The amber leaves you saw on the

ground speak of the autumn of the year. This judgment will begin in

the fall.

I was given this dream and word in 2007. I shared this open-

ly with the congregation that we pastor in Lancaster, California. We

know that in the fall of 2008 the stock market dropped 777 points and

recession hit the USA. Many people in real estate and construction

industries were especially affected. This was only the beginning of this

economic judgment. Very soon economic woes in the USA will be-

come much more pronounced. This is the counsel of the Lord to sur-

vive and prosper. Get into the Word of God. Live by His Word and His


promises. He will sustain you. Here are just a few of the promises that

we can live by.

Matthew 4:4 It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but

by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear? 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom

of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.Psalm 34:10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who

seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be

content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. 6 So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

Psalm 86:5 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give

grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who

walk uprightly.Psalm 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.Psalm 103:11, 17 For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;. . . But the mercy of

the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to childrens children.Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not

seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.


Dont Just Quote the Word Commune with God!

Gods awesome promises in His Word arent things that we

use to get what we want. They are expressions of His love toward

you and me. We must develop a close relationship with the Lord Jesus

Christ. This starts by believing in Him, believing His Word and purpos-

ing to love Him back. We love Him back when we keep His Word in our

hearts with the intention of obeying.

Proverbs 2:1-5 My son, if you receive my words, and trea-sure my commands within you, 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden trea-sures; 5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

Understanding the fear of the Lord comes from storing up the

Word of God in a hungry heart that truly wants to know the Lord. The

fear of God always precedes the true knowledge of God.

Prov. 25:14 The secret of the Lord is with those who fear HimLuke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man. Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.


Noah was told what was coming and what to do about it. Those who

fear God will likewise be given the secrets of the Lord. Noah was not

taken away from the earth, but into the ark, which is a type of Christ.

Noah was here on earth during the judgments. The church will be

here. We are to abide in Christ. HE is the Secret place of the Almighty

in Whom we take refuge under His wings (Psalm 91). The same event

(flood) that brought calamity to others, in the days of Noah, was the

means of lifting Noahs family higher and higher. While the ungodly

perished, the righteous were exalted. Walking in the fear of God made

the difference for Noah and his family.

Proverbs 14:27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, To turn one away from the snares of death.

John 14:21, 22,24 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him. . . . .If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My

Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the

Fathers who sent Me.

Psalm 91:14-16 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will

be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With

long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.


1 Timothy 4:15 Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely

to them, that your progress may be evident to all.

Psalm 1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law (Word) he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does

shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

CHAPTER THREEProspering During Economic Woes

***

Prospering During Economic Woes in the USA - Jan, 2011

DREAM: In this dream I was witnessing the effects of a col-lapsed economy in the USA. I had walked in past the entrance of a

very large gated country club community that was comprised of thou-

sands of homes, golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, a luxury

hotel and even a hunting club. As I was walking through the section

of the country club that was the hunting club, I saw turkeys that were

depressed. They were weak and sick looking. I remember feeling real

compassion for the animals. I looked up and kept walking toward the

center of the club.

Prospering During Economic Woes | 37


I saw several hundred people evacuating the community due

to the drastic economic downturn. They were all walking on foot to-

ward the exit. Many were carrying with them a few of their personal

items that they could salvage. Many, if not most of the people of that

community, had already evacuated before I got there. As I continued

walking into the club I noticed I was the only person that I could see

walking in. Everyone else was walking out or already had walked out.

I approached and entered a beautiful building that looked like

the hotel lobby or clubhouse entrance. The atmosphere was eerie be-

cause the clubhouse or hotel lobby was high quality and elegant, yet

it was almost completely abandoned. I noticed one woman working

behind the check-in counter. Down the counter from me I saw a good

friend who happens to be financially substantial. I knew he had seen

this economic collapse and had prepared for it. The lady behind the

counter handed me a card that looked like some sort of a credit card.

She said You will need this while you are here.

Thank you. What is it? I replied.

Its a giving card. You will need it.

What is it for?

You use it to put other peoples needs on your account.

Somewhat puzzled, I looked at my friend standing a short dis-

tance away at the counter. I knew that he had been here in the coun-

try club a little while before me. He seemed to be more familiar with

what was going on so I asked him Is she right? Do I need to have one

of these cards?


Yes, you do he positively affirmed.

INTERPRETATION: For years we have been warned about this economic collapse by the Holy Spirit, It is now upon us. This will

mean a significantly changed lifestyle for the vast majority of Ameri-

cans, even those who have lived the country club life. It has been

said before: the partys over.

Rather than hoarding in fear, one of the primary ways to pros-

per is to share, in love, as the Lord Jesus taught. This is what the early

believers did as recorded in Acts 11:28-30.

Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. 29 Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. 30 This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

When the disciples learned there was going to be a famine,

rather than hoarding motivated by fear, they gave to others in need,

motivated by faith and love. If we have this heart to share, not only will

we abide in love, we will never lack.

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. Luke 6:38


There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is

one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.There is one who scatters, yet increases more; 25 The gener-ous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be wa-tered himself. Proverbs 11:24-25

As difficult times approach, let us resist fear and hoarding. Let

us have faith in God. Knowing that we can trust His bountiful provi-

sion for those who love and honor Him, we can have open hearts and

open hands. That is the giving card that we need in order to prosper.

We can then fulfill the Lords command to walk in love according to

Galatians 6:2: Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of

Christ.

A man of God I know who walks very close to the Lord Jesus

Christ was told by the Lord in an encounter: For whoever stores up food and provisions in faith, with a motive of love to share with and help others, I will multiply their resources as they give it away. They will not lack.

Be Prepared for a Sudden Financial Collapse January 2014

DREAM: I found myself with two other men, who were guests visiting from out of town. While they were visiting, they had

asked me to take them golfing. I havent played golf for years, but I

agreed and took them to play a round of golf. In the next scene we

were standing inside the clubhouse of a posh golf course country club

waiting to sign up for a round of golf. There was one man at the coun-


ter paying for a round ahead of us and a couple of others waiting be-

hind us to sign up for a game.

While we were waiting for the man at the counter ahead of us

to finish paying, we were looking around the golf shop. I noticed that

the golf balls they were selling were fake. They were hollow, plastic, phony golf balls! But the golf shop had them packaged and were selling them as if they were genuine golf balls. Turning to my guests I

warned them These golf balls are not real. You need to get some real

golf balls.

One of the two guests with me looked outside the large pan-

oramic glass panes of the golf shop onto the beautiful, expansive,

green golf course. He then asked the other man with him Do you

think we still have enough time to play a round of golf? His friend

looked up at the sun in the sky. Seeing the position of the sun indi-

cated that it was still early afternoon. Yes, its only about two oclock.

We have plenty of time to play he replied.

Just a brief moment later, we again looked out the large pan-

oramic windows of the golf shop again and it was completely dark

outside! It went from early afternoon sunshine to very dark in less

than five seconds. One of my guests then said No, we cant play. Its

dark outside

Just then the man at the counter who had just finished pay-

ing to play a round of golf became upset that he couldnt play and

demanded his money back. The employee behind the counter apolo-

gized saying that he could not refund the money because he could


not get the cash register open. The customer became irate and be-

gan using profanity. The other couple, who had been waiting behind

me and my two guests, had somehow gotten in line ahead of us. The

husband politely turned to me and asked me to step in front of them

as he said You were ahead of us in line. Please take your place. His

wife became irate that her husband was polite. She also began to use

profanity and become upset at her husband and the employee. Now

the golf pro shop was filled with strife and chaos.

Immediately the scene changed. My entire field of vision, from

top to bottom and from left to right, was filled with gears as if I was

looking at the back of a giant clock. It reminded me of seeing a pocket

watch in a department store that had a glass back. You could see all

the gears turning. But this was about forty feet high and forty feet

wide. It was huge! As I watched the gears, they were turning slowly

and then came to a grinding halt. The teeth on one large gear crum-

bled as the gear broke and fell out of the clock to the ground. Then I

watched as the teeth on one gear after another began to crumble and

fall to the ground. As the clock was crumbling and falling apart I heard

the firm, authoritative voice of the Lord say Bank Of America is shutting down. INTERPRETATION: The Lord said: The entire dream has to do with the collapse of the economy in the USA. The golf balls rep-

resent the United States fiat currency (paper money not backed by

gold). It is hollow. It has no real value. You must get real currency

(silver and gold). The natural indicators will say that there is still time

to play a round. There is not! The dollar will collapse suddenly and

become worthless overnight. Many will be totally unprepared for this.


People will not be able to get their money out of the banks. This will

cause panic, anger and strife among many in your nation. Be pre-

pared. Have real wealth on hand. Have food, water and other neces-

sary supplies.


CHAPTER FOURThe Coming Lawlessness

***

The following two dreams were to show me the kinds of lawless-ness that is coming due to the imminent financial decline in the USA.The Coming Lawlessness - October 2014

DREAM: I was walking out of a large electronic store (Best Buy). I had just purchased a portable stereo and was pushing the

shopping cart with the stereo out to my car in the parking lot. I un-

locked my car, put the stereo in the back seat, closed the door and

turned around to take the shopping cart over to the spot in the park-

ing lot designated for returning carts. After returning the cart I turned

around to walk back to my car and saw two young men walking away

The Coming Lawlessness | 45

from my car with my stereo! I shouted to them Stop!

When they turned back to look at me, I noticed that the two

cars parked next to mine were each full with four or five young men

that were what I would call lawless punks, thugs or gang-bangers.

They all perked up and looked at me. I was now looking at about a

dozen young thugs. Then one young man leaned out the window of

his car and with a very arrogant attitude, seeing that I was unarmed

and outnumbered, said to me with his arms outstretched in a taunting

tone What are you going to do about it?

Then the scene changed and a second dream began. I was

driving down a street in my city. I drove past a small strip mall. One of

the units in the mall had an all glass front in it so that I could see inside.

I could see about a hundred people meeting in one of the units. It

looked like it was part of a school and it seemed to be an after-school,

parent-teacher meeting. As I looked into the meeting I saw anger and

strife break out. An exchange of heated words had been flowing for

a while but then it escalated to shoving and finally fist fighting. Soon,

among the one hundred or so people in the room, there were about

four or five fist fights going on. The air was demonically charged with

hatred and strife. I felt grieved for what was happening and compas-

sion on the people who were being caught up in a demonic frenzy. I

knew that there were so many incidents of crime and civil unrest that

the law enforcement (sheriff and police) were spread very thin and

unable to keep up with all that was going on. I was wishing that I

had some bear spray (pepper spray), knowing that if I did, I could have

quickly dispersed the crowd and prevented further strife and poten-

tial serious injury or death.


INTERPRETATION: When I awoke from these two dreams here is what the Lord said to me. Due to the economic trouble com-

ing on your nation, roving groups of rogue thugs will be common. It

will be common for them to be waiting outside of grocery stores and

other stores, just waiting to take the goods and even the entire shop-

ping carts from women especially and anyone else who appears to be

unarmed or unable to defend themselves. You must be prepared for

this.

Due to the economic trouble, there will be strife, debate and

tension breaking out among those who do not know or trust Me. You

must be prepared for this. Be ready to defend the weak and defense-

less. Be ready to help. Churches must cultivate night and day prayer

over their communities which will build a canopy of My presence and

influence there. My body must be the salt and the light.

The Second Amendment vs. Gun Control - 2012

DREAM: I was observing an outdoor gun control rally. A man stood on a platform with a microphone. Behind him was a large

billboard advocating gun control. A crowd of a few hundred people

had gathered in front of him to hear what he had to say. I watched as

he passionately spoke into the microphone how we needed gun con-

trol for a safer society. After speaking for a few minutes he then drew

a pistol from his side, put it to his temple and shot himself dead.

Immediately another man stood up on the platform with a mi-

crophone and continued promoting gun control to the crowd stand-

ing in front of him. Then after a few minutes, he too, like the first man,

drew a loaded pistol from his side and shot himself in the head, falling

The Coming Lawlessness


dead on the platform.

Then I watched, incredibly, as a third man stood up and re-

peated what the first two men did. He spoke about gun control, then

shot himself dead.

As I awoke the Lord said: Promoting Gun Control is Suicide.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The Second Amendment was wisely incorporated into our Bill of

Rights, not primarily so that we could hunt ducks, but so that we

would be armed and able to maintain our freedom against criminals,

an oppressive government, or foreign invasion.

It has been said that If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will

have guns. Global and national statistics prove that violent crime is

reduced in direct proportion to a well-armed populace. The opposite

is also true: the stricter the gun control, the higher the violent crime

rate rises. This has been proven in every state in the USA. Conversely,

the states and counties that issue more concealed carry permits have

significantly lower violent crime rates.

History proves that before dictators can rule and oppress a na-

tion, they first disarm the populace, all in the name of a safer society.

Once a society is disarmed, and only the government has arms, it is

The Coming Lawlessness


very easy to have a police state that oppresses the people.

We would do well to exercise our Second Amendment rights.

Own a firearm or two or three. Have ammunition. Know how to safely

use your firearms. Be prepared to use them to defend yourself, or an-

other person, if necessary.

THIS WAS NOT A DREAM

This truly happened. About two years ago my wife and I were

awakened about 1:30 AM to the sounds of a profanity and hate-filled

screaming crowd on our street. This was alarming and unusual be-

cause we live in a generally peaceful neighborhood. The sounds we

heard were awful. It literally sounded as if someone was being killed.

Jumping out of bed I quickly retrieved my loaded .357 magnum from

my safe and headed out my front door to see what was going on.

I saw a crowd of about sixty beer-drinking college-age youths

on the street screaming profanity and shoving one another. It was

dark and was hard to see what was going on. With my loaded pistol

hidden under my arm, I cautiously walked closer to the crowd to get a

better look. Just then, my wife, who was standing on our front lawn,

about 75 feet behind me, screamed Stop it! Stop it! Whirling around

to see what she was screaming about, I saw three young men, near the

sidewalk in front of my house, kicking and punching another young

man who was on the ground and unable to defend himself. They were

ruthlessly and violently kicking him in the head.

The cowardice I saw exhibited in front of me made me angry.


Standing about 60 feet from them, I drew my pistol and shot it into

the lawn. In that clear desert night, it sounded like a canon! Everyone

on the street froze as they did not know where the shot came from. I

watched the three young men who had been mercilessly beating the

man on the ground. They froze, but they did not leave. They were

looking around, sizing up the situation, hoping to resume their beat-

ing. This time I walked toward the three youth and shouted GET OUT

OF HERE! as I fired my .357 magnum pistol into the lawn a second

time. Immediately every single youth on the street scrambled as fast

as they could to get in their cars and drive away. The entire street was

literally cleared in less than 45 seconds.

We approached the young man who had been beaten and

helped him up. His friend had been sitting in a car down the street

afraid to help because he was vastly outnumbered. His friend drove

up and helped him in the car and they drove off. I am pretty sure that

if we had not showed up with a loaded pistol and exercised our Sec-

ond Amendment rights, the young man would have been beaten to

death.

We are going to need to exercise our Second Amendment rights in the

days ahead as darkness and chaos increase in our land. Be wise. Now

is the time to be prepared.

Unprecedented Upheaval in Washington D.C.

I found myself standing on the perimeter of Washington D.C. Al-

though I have never been there before, I recognized it by the skyline

and the capital building. There was smoke in the air. To my right was

a military tank in the street. I was seeing historically UNPRECEDENTED


upheaval in Washington. I asked the Lord When is this happening?

He said to me: This is happening on Caesar Chavez Day.

I did not even know, at the time, if there was such a thing as Caesar

Chavez Day and/or when it was. After this experience I discovered that

there is a Caesar Chavez Day and it falls on March 31. Doing further

study I was amazed to find that Barack Obama used Caesar Chavezs

slogan Yes, we can! as his campaign slogan! The irony in this is that

Caesar Chavez labored for a righteous cause; for a better wage for the

farm workers who were being exploited by the growers. Obama, on

the other hand, has unrighteous agendas while pretending to pro-

mote what is righteous. I saw that Obamas regime was crumbling

on the day that Caesar Chavez is celebrated, the man whose slogan

he used. We must prepare, with a rock-solid faith in God, for UNPREC-

EDENTED upheaval in the USA.

The GOODNESS of GOD in releasing His judgments on the USA

Yes, it is Gods goodness that is seen in His judgments. Con-

sider this portion of Psalm 107.

Psalm 107:21-32 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! 22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and de-clare His works with rejoicing. 23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters, 24 they see the works of the Lord, And His wonders in the deep.

For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up


the waves of the sea. 26 They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul melts because of trouble. 27

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. 28 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. 29 He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. 30 Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven.

Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! 32 Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people; praise Him in the

company of the elders. It is God who sent the storm. The purpose of the storm is to

bring proud men to their wits end. Only when men are at their wits

end will they cry out to the Lord. This is what we in our nation should

have been doing all along. But God, in His goodness, allows these se-

vere storms to bring us to our wits end until we cry to Him. When we

cry to Him in desperation, God will intervene and bring us where we

need to go!

As soon as the men in this Psalm cry out to God, then the Lord

calms the storms. Once we turn to God wholeheartedly there is no

longer a need for a storm to help drive us to God. When we give up

on our own ability, schemes and plans, and cry out to God, then His

Divine help and guidance come. This is the goodness of God!!

Think of this: IF God did not allow storms to come which drive

men to seek Him, then many men would perish eternally. A temporary


storm that saves a man from eternal destruction and brings him into

Gods best is a blessing from a good God!

Revelation 15:3-4 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! 4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been mani-fested.

This is called the song of Moses and of the Lamb (the Lord Je-

sus Christ). In Moses day God released judgments that dismantled

the evil power structures of Egypt which had been oppressing Gods

peoples. God used plagues and death to do this. The end result was

good: The evil oppressors were stopped. The people of God were lib-

erated and not only all of Egypt and Israel, but the surrounding na-

tions learned to recognize and fear the One, True, Living God.

Isaiah 26:9 For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Psalm 19:8-11 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the

eyes; 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judg-ments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.

SUMMARY

***

* God speaks today through dreams and visions. * It is important that we take heed to the word of the Lord. We are to live by every word that comes from His mouth. Making light

of words from God could lead to unnecessary disaster. Heeding the

word of the Lord can thwart the plans of the enemy and bring great

mercy, grace and blessings to those who obey.

*Some words from God require that we pray so that what He has shown us will or will not come to pass. We cannot be pas-sive and expect automatic blessings or automatic victory. The church

is called to be a House of prayer! We must be engaged with a heart

that is motivated by love for God and love for people. Faith works by

love and with faith in God mountains will be moved! (Galatians 5:6)


* A miraculous resurrection of righteousness is coming to the USA. A resurrection can only come after a death. The USA will face dark days ahead, but the admonition of the Lord is this: Do not

give up hope. Do not throw in the towel. When things look bleak and

the prognosticators are saying that its all over for the USA, this na-

tion will experience a supernatural re-birth and a resurrection of righ-

teousness.

*Financial woes will come suddenly upon our nation. The dollar is currently nearly worthless. In the near future its worthlessness

will be revealed. Be prepared with silver and gold. Be prepared for

sudden changes.

*When financial ruin comes to many in our nation, do not give

in to a self-centered survivalist mentality. Have faith in God! Be ready and willing to share. Bear one anothers burdens and so fulfill

the law of Christ. Those who prepare with a mentality of faith and

who are ready to be generous toward those in need, they will see su-

pernatural provision.

*Preparing for the financial distress that is at the door in-volves cultivating a closer walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be our First Love. We must seek Him and His righteousness first.

We must immerse ourselves in the water of Gods Word and surround

ourselves with His exceedingly precious promises. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4

*As we find ourselves in days of seeming chaos and turmoil,

we are to shine as lights in the darkness. We must be prepared to deal with civil unrest, crime and escalating fear in society. Above all, churches must become night and day Houses of Prayer, cov-ering their communities with intercessory prayer. We would do well to exercise our Second Amendment rights. We must be pre-pared to defend the weak and share with those in need. We must manifest the fruit of peace and righteousness.

*We must hold out the hope of Jesus Christ to others around us who become paralyzed with fear. We must hold out hope for this nation.

*Most of all, we must love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength, never giving in to fear, for God has promised, saying:

I will never leave you or forsake you. Hebrews 13:5
