Greetings fom Vero Beach!
December, 2003
I want to thank all of you who have written this past month. You have so blessed
my heart, and I know you are blessing the heart of our Father. Keep on keeping
on with Yeshua! Stay strong! Stand steadfast! Keep your focus on Him, and when
He gives you a word to speak, speak it!
God's true prophets have responsibility for the nation. Those whom God has
called and prepared to speak for Him in this hour, have been placed
strategically for such a time as this, and they have been given a tremendous
responsibility. They are watchmen who are sounding the alarm to warn the nation
of impending dangers, and there are many!
The watchman must be alert to every opportunity, and must not be afraid to sound
the alarm. Keep in mind the words of Paul, who was a faithful watchman, "I am
innocent of the blood of all men, for I have not shunned to declare to you the
whole counsel of God." (Acts 20:26-27).
I'm sure Paul was remembering what God said to Ezekiel when He called him to be
a watchman for the House of Israel. He told Ezekiel, "I have made you a watchman
for the House of Israel, therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn
them for Me. When I say to the wicked, "Oh, wicked man, you shall surely die!"
and you do not speak to warn the wicked man from his ways, the wicked man shall
die in his iniquity, but his blood I shall require at your hand. Nevertheless,
if you warn the wicked to turn from his wicked ways, and he does not turn, he
shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul." (Ezekiel 33).
If you recall, I shared with you in the September newsletter that the Lord said,
"These are days of confrontation! In these End Times, I shall reveal My secrets
to My servants, the prophets, My Elijahs, with great detail and accuracy. The
Word of My prophets will ring hard and loud throughout the land. Even in to the
secular world they shall hear my declaring!"
He also said, "Do not be afraid to stand firm! Every foundation shall be shaken
on account of My Holy Word, for it is My Word that is at work. It is disclosing
every heart, and it will lay hearts bare before Me, for I have released My Word
in to the earth, and it is at work in your midst. Everything is coming in to
alignment with My Word! Not one portion of My Word shall be unfulfilled."
Judge Roy Moore of the sovereign State of Alabama is a perfect example of
standing firm in obedience to God regardless of the consequences. This precious
brother has been tried and tested by fire, and he has passed his tests with
flying colors. When he stood before the nation and said, "It is not about a
monument, but about acknowledgement of Almighty God, he was speaking truth.
Judge Moore went on to say, "I will not violate my oath of office, I will not
violate my conscience, and I will not deny my God!" You see, behind closed
doors, and with no cameras in the room, the question that was put to him was,
"If you are reinstated, will you still acknowledge God?" And Judge Moore said,
"Yes, I will!" Then, they opened the doors of the court room and rolled in the
cameras so everyone nationwide could see him be stripped of His God given
position and authority. They would not allow cameras in before that, for they
did not want the public to know that it was not as much about the Ten
Commandments as it was about acknowledging God.
Many times in the days following, I heard Judge Moore say, "They had better wake
up!" You see, God's prophets are always one step ahead in vision. I believe the
Judge was referring to the Church, as well as all the people of America.
While Judge Moore was being removed from office , due to a controversy
surrounding the display of the Ten Commandments in a public place, and the
Judge's right, as well as Alabama's right, to acknowledge God was taking place.
the enemies of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had other ideas. The Ten
Commandments were locked away in a closet, but the New York Police Department
began to display the Quran in the lobby of Police Headquarters. The Quran was
placed in a glass cube atop a brass pedestal. The display is featured near the
Hall of Heroes, and is placed in front of the official police seal.
You ask, "How can that be?" During Bill Clinton's watch, a Muslim cleric was set
in place as head of the New York Police Chaplains. This happened about the same
time that Hillary Clinton told the nation that she is an avid student of Islam.
She declared that Islam has gotten a bum rap here in the United States.
Imam Izak-El Mu'eed Pasha spearheaded installation of the Quran that is now on
display. He told Newsday that police work makes religion a central part of
police life. He said, "By nature of the job, they have to have some faith! There
is no way to do it without faith." Is it not amazing that there has been no
public outcry over the Quran being displayed n a public place, as there was over
the Ten Commandments? No outcry whatsoever!
You might want to read the special November edition of the "Whistleblower
Magazine." They have done an excellent job of documenting conclusively that the
modern legal doctrine of "Separation of Church and State" is the work of
activist judges, and has no basis in the Constitution."
In Texas, the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled to allow the Ten
Commandments monument to remain on the capital grounds in Austin. The Court
rejected the claim that the presence of the Ten Commandments unconstitutionally
establishes religion. A Federal Court upheld the monument at an earlier date,
however, they feel now that this case will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Recently US Army Lieutenant General William Boykin, Deputy Under-Secretary of
Defense for Intelligence, while speaking to a congregation here in the US, told
the people that Muslims do not worship the same God we Christians do. Because of
outraged press coverage, he was 'forced' to back track his statement. Political
correctness, you know!
Speaking to reporters during his State visit to London, President Bush said that
he believes that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. He also claims
that Islam is a peaceful religion which draws all other faiths together. Never
mind that throughout Ramadan there was not a day to go by without a bombing or
an explosion somewhere. More political correctness!
At the same time He hammered Israel unmercifully. He is determined to place
another Arab State within the very Heartland of little Israel, the only Jewish
State. Keep in mind that there are twenty-two spacious Arab States surrounding
Israel, and Jordan was deemed a Palestinian State years ago. Nevertheless,
President Bush has ordered a freeze on settlement growth, and plans to displace
about 250,000 Jews from their homes.
The Jews living in the Heartland have, with great sacrifice and hardship, built
those mountain top communities because God called them to the mountain tops to
build, plant and wait on Him. He has promised to meet with them on the mountains
of Israel. May I remind everyone that all of this is being done contrary to the
revealed will of Almighty God, and our nation is going to pay a terrible price
for causing the Lord's land to be divided, not to mention all of the loss of
life.
I recently heard Robert Stern say, "If the Church here in America does not soon
wake up and begin to fast and pray, our grandchildren will soon be wearing
burkas. How true, Robert!
It is time for our national leadership, and all of us, to decide whether we are
going to be Politically Correct or Biblically Correct. The battle is for
Truth!!! It is time we shake off all that hinders us personally, and as a
nation, and take our proper places in the Kingdom of God. We must stand for what
is right! We must stop the compromise! It is destroying our nation!
It is time to lift high the Name of Yeshua! It is time to revere and proclaim
His Holy Word! It is time we heed all of the warnings of His true prophets! The
Lord is calling all of us to fast as He calls us to fast, worship Him
wholeheartedly, and walk in a spirit of repentance.
In January 2003, the Lord told me that horrible persecution is coming to the
Church here in America. He told me that it would begin first with law suits,
then restrictions would be put upon us, and new laws would be written to limit
our voices in this nation. He said that momentum would begin to build, becoming
more and more fierce. He said that many in Christian leadership, particularly
pastors, would be imprisoned and that would be the beginning of many woes. At
that time, He said that He was giving me ample warning so I would warn His
people, that they not be fearful, but that they be prepared. He said, "These
things are right at hand! They are even at the doors!"
Sally Mishkin recently wrote me to say, "Last night I was led to scan an old
book, "Storm Warnings" by Don McAlvany. Chapter fifteen lists, "The Five Pattern
Step To Persecution" ... seen in the persecution of Christians by the Roman
Emperor, Nero, up through the Middle Ages, right through the present persecution
of Christians in China, Sudan, and Communist and Islamic countries. (Pg.275).
The five steps leading to the eventual persecution of a group are, 1.
Identifying and stereotyping a group, 2. Marginalizing the group and pushing it
out of the mainstream to the margins of society, 3.Vilification, slandering, and
trashing of the group, 4. Passing discriminatory legal restrictions and
eventually criminalizing the activities of the group, and 5. Outright
persecution of the group. (Storm Warning (Pg. 276).
Sally said, "It appears as though we are at
step four, with this court ruling regarding Judge Moore." In January,2003, when
the Lord shared with me all that is coming upon the Church and America, He gave
me four examples of law suits that were already in progress. Today there are so
many that I've lost count.
Recently hundreds of Coptic Christians who have fled from Egypt to the US,
claiming persecution under Islam, showed up outside Royal Oak Intermediate
School in Covina, CA. They were protesting an assignment give seventh graders,
urging them to participate in the Muslim Ramadan fast, so they would have a
greater understanding and empathy toward Islam. The Christians were gathered
there to tell the truth about Islam.
They said, "At a time when discussions about Jesus Christ are barred from the
classrooms, the teacher is urging impressionable school children to participate
in a religion that is a threat to America." Many of them, with tears in their
eyes, shared with the parents their own experiences of persecution under Islam.
They warned them that Islam is here to eventually take control of America. Many
of the protesters were articulate professionals like doctors and dentists. They
are deeply concerned, for America is sleeping.
Do you recall in January,2002, at Excelsior Elementary School in Byron, CA the
seventh graders were taken in to a much deeper journey into Islam. They
pretended to be Muslims, dressing in robes, conducting simulated jihads via a
dice game, learned the five pillars of the Islamic faith, and memorized verses
from the Quran. Dear Lord, forgive us!
In closing let me say that a clarion call has gone forth! He who has ears to
hear, let him hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to those who are called
by His Name!
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy Chanukah and a
Merry Christmas. Please, in the midst of all the festivities, remember our
military and their families, as well as all those who are homeless or alone
through this season. Blessings to you all!
