May, 2004
Greetings from
Praise the Lord, I’m home at last! The past three months have been heavy travel months for me. I have clocked ten thousand miles in that short period of time. It has been the kind of travel that can cause one to become travel weary.
Prior to January, 2004, ground
travel was extremely difficult for me. Whenever the Lord sent me out, there was
a lot of hardship involved. I had serious car problems, and some of those
problems could no longer be corrected. Also, I had serious back problems. A
sciatic nerve caused me nothing but pain and discomfort. Having to lift luggage
and containers of humanitarian aid, just about did me in. My legs would go numb
all the way to my knees as I stood to speak, or to minister to those in healing
lines. But, Praise His Holy Name, in January, as I was ministering over a
weekend at Jesus Compassion Ministries in
Just a week or so later the Lord made a new car available to me. It is a Ford Taurus, very easy on gas, and a comfortable car for long distance travel. It does not bother my back or legs either! So, with those two problems solved, He was able to begin sending me back out to call the Church to ‘genuine’ repentance, and His Remnant to readiness, as we are headed for a Season of War.
I recently retuned from
The Key Note Speaker for our meeting
this year was the Honorable Judge Roy Moore. What a blessing he was to all of
us! The man speaks the Truth of God’s Word, He knows the Word of God, and has
God’s heart for both
From
Friday evening, we welcomed the Shabbat with the candle lighting, blessing of the bread and cup, as well as the blowing of the shofars. Then we entered in to a lengthy time of serious praise and worship. Angelic beings were seen on the stage by several intercessors. Praise His Holy Name! He is sooooo good!
As we finished worshipping, the Lord
had me share about the week I had just spent in
We have been praying against the
spirit of Delilah that has been seducing
I went on to share just where we are on God’s calendar, and the need for us to pay attention to His calendar, as well as the appointed times He has set for us to meet with Him. If we do so, we will better understand the way He is leading and guiding us in this hour.
As I finished sharing, Paul and
Joane Gelep came up to
share about their most recent trip to
After Paul and
Joane shared, the Lord had me cover Judy Gilliland with my
talit (prayer shawl), and then speak a Word that He
had given me for her. Judy has recently released her home, and all of her
possessions, to the Lord to follow Him. She will go first to
One part of the Word that I shared with Judy touched many of us. The Lord said to her, “Judy, be released in to your calling and destiny in Yeshua’s Name. You have been willing to pay the price to follow Me! You have regarded Me as more precious than all that I have asked you to release! Come now in to the fullness of My anointing! You shall be used greatly in My Kingdom! Come with Me now, and don’t look back! I will lead you and guide you! My angels shall accompany you! Begin your journey now to bless My people! I love you, My Daughter. I AM well pleased with your willingness to follow after Me, regardless of the cost!”
We all moved back in to worship, once again, and then a brother came forward to speak prophetically to all three musicians. He told me later, “I had a deep focus in the Spirit on the three musicians. The Spirit kept saying, “You must minister to them tonight!” He went on to tell me that there was a Divine whirlwind in the stage area. Angelic beings were present, and assisting in ministration. He said, “There is a huge potential in each of those three young men. Much, much more than they realize.” I don’t think any of us could argue with that Word. It was so right on!
Saturday morning when the three musicians came in, they were so excited! They all said, “That brother really read our mail last night! Hallelujah!” They truly are an exceptional worship team, very highly anointed, and we count it a privilege to work with them.
As we all gathered together Saturday
morning, I shared a Word the Lord had given me to speak before we entered in to
worship. He had also awakened Regina Rice, through the night, and gave her even
more concerning the
Prior to my leaving for Washington,
DC, I had asked the Hopkinsville intercessors to be in prayer concerning what
the Lord wanted to do in the Hopkinsville Gathering. Just a day or two later,
Betty Laster telephoned me to give me two Scriptures
that the Lord had given to her concerning the
The first was from Isaiah 50:4-11. Verse 4 can be translated, “The Sovereign Lord has given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words those who are weary. … He wakens my ear to hear as they are taught.”
Now this was the quality of teachableness primarily true of Yeshua. It was the habit in His human life to listen to the secret teachings of His Father that was breathed in to His heart. When it speaks of Him awakening our ear, or opening our understanding, what He is doing is giving us revelation.
Coming from an Observant Jewish background, Yeshua would have had many human teachers, but six or seven times in the Scriptures, we are told that He spoke ‘only’ what God gave Him to speak. A for instance is John 8:28. I also noticed that whenever the Father spoke in to Yeshua’s ear, He did not rebel, but He willingly obeyed, regardless of the cost. And so must we!
I believe that He is saying to all of us who love Him, and have a healthy fear of God, “Trust Me” and “Depend Upon Me!” He wants us to set our face like flint, and continue to follow Him in all that He Himself will teach us, and in ways that He Himself will lead us.
He said that those who have misunderstood us, scorned us, falsely accused us, criticized us, and misjudged us will reap what they have sown. They will face Him in His Court of Justice.
The second Scripture which the Lord had given to Betty was Hosea 6:1-7. “Let us return unto the Lord! He has torn us to pieces, now He will heal us. He has injured us, now He will bandage our wounds. In just a short time, He will restore us so we can live in His Presence.”
Then the Lord took me back to Hosea 5:15 which says, “Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt, and look to Me for help. For as soon as trouble comes, they will search for Me!”
What the Lord said to me here was
that the hand that has been dealing with the leadership of the local
congregations in
Therefore He has withdrawn Himself from them, and let them go until such time as they find themselves in a mess of trouble. He said that He is holding this leadership responsible for the unfaithfulness of the people in the congregations.
However, He said, “As more and more
fire comes upon them, and it will come upon them, they will turn to
Me! And they will know that My
prophets have been among them, and have held back not one word of
warning from them. My prophets will not be held accountable for anything that
happens in the
The Lord said that we should all keep in mind that “God’s dealing with man is determined by man’s own dealing with God.” Therefore, if we feel sorry for them, we are aligning ourselves with them in their rebellion against God. So no matter what happens in the area, know that they have brought it all upon themselves. God will simply use their own rebellion to bring them to the place of desperation where they will call upon Him. And when they humble themselves in sincere repentance, He will forgive them, refresh them, and impart to them fresh life and power. He said, “My love is constant, but their religious life is fickle!” He went on to say, “The pomp of outward ritual, no matter how ornate, counts less with Me, than one contrite sigh or tear!”
He gave me two Scriptures, Matt.
I shared with Betty how the Lord had
expounded on the two Scriptures she had shared with me concerning the
After
As soon as we were able to move back
in to worship, we began to sing and proclaim His freedom over the city, and over
the Church in
After worship I began to share from Zechariah, the first 6 chapters. The first thing the Lord did was to call my attention to the fact that Zechariah had preached to God’s Remnant! He also pointed out that the primary task of the prophets in that day was to proclaim the Word of God, the whole council of God, point out sin, explain it’s consequences, and call men and women to repentance and obedience. And so it is yet today!!!
Elijah, Elisha,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, and Amos, as well as many others, ‘faithfully’
delivered God’s messages in spite of rejection, ridicule, and persecution that
came against them. And so must we!!! There was opposition to God’s plans in
Zechariah’s day, and he had to prophesy future times of trouble. And so it is
today!!! Over and over again, in the last two Gatherings we have had, both of
them in
He said, “Remember, My Word endures! I remember the promises and agreements I have made with My own. I love all of you, and I will deliver you from the world powers that oppress you! Hold on to My promises! I AM faithful! You need not fear ‘if’ you truly love Me, and obey Me!” He went on to challenge us in many areas.
Debra Webster came up, then, and boldly re-enforced just about everything that had been shared. It was one powerful word. Then, I called Patsy Hogan to come up and share what the Lord has been speaking to her heart. Patsy began to share from her own experiences, encouraging all those who are still in the fires of purification. Her message was also a blessing. Then, Lenore Zwald delivered a lengthy Word from the Lord in tongues with interpretation. It, too, was very powerful! Then I called all those to come forth who were still in the waiting mode, and the intercessors began to minister to one another. It was so precious!
After that time of ministry, we
broke for lunch and sweet fellowship around the tables. I must say that
Johna, Elaine, Betty, Iris and Lawrence went out of
their way to make me and all others feel so welcome. They all blessed my heart!
Thank you, troops, for a job exceedingly well done! I am so grateful! I also
want to thank all those who came to join their prayers to ours from
After lunch we entered in to prayer
for the Church,
Saturday evening we sat down with
Mary Ellen King, her two granddaughters, and Nancy Greenway. They are all from
“Servants of the King Missionary Fellowship” in
We will share more with you in the next newsletter, but we wanted to alert you all to this ‘Gathering’ that you might begin to bathe it in prayer. Also pray about joining us. Once again, this ‘Gathering’ is being held in a very strategic place, setting it apart for God’s plans and purposes in the coming days. It is also being held at a very special time. September 25th is Yom Kippur. So we hope you will join us for your intercession is sorely needed. The Lord is calling for sixty faithful warriors and intercessors for this very special assignment. Perhaps you are one of them!!!

We Are Headed for A Season of War!
This summer there will be an onslaught against God’s people and their destiny!
This fall there will be a battle for the soul and destiny of
His messengers of fire are being called forth at this time to wage war for the
destiny of
We must be armed with the fire of God’s Spirit that will dress us for the battle in the armor of God’s Light!
His Baptism of Fire will consume the wood, hay, and stubble! It will destroy the works of the enemy!
The anointing of God’s Fire will be released by the prophetic word coming from the mouths of His Messengers of Fire!
Drastic Changes Are Coming!
Let It All Go!
We must make up our mind that if we are going to serve the Lord wholeheartedly, we will face persecution, false accusations, and be misunderstood. He was, and so will we be! There is a cost!!!
We Cannot Compromise!
We Must Be Obedient!
Casual or occasional obedience, the result of half hearted or divided commitment, cannot produce blessing. Diligent obedience will always bring blessing!
We cannot afford to harden our hearts, not even one time! Any sin is more natural the second time. As we allow our hearts to become hardened, each repetition becomes easier.
Stay Closely Connected To God!
When we do, His Spirit will enable us to do His will despite all opposition or obstacles.
If we stay away from Him, we will find ourselves cut off from the power source. That is exactly what has happened to the Church at large. They have pulled away from the Lord to do their own thing, and as a result, they have no power.
……
We Are A Remnant!
They were refined and like silver and gold, often through the fire of their difficult circumstances.
Johna shared this: “Think about some of the old movies we’ve seen where they were panning for gold. Think about the shaking, sifting, and water. All the rocks and debris were washed away leaving just the gold.”
Let us determine to be a part of God’s Remnant that is obedient to Him! Obey Him, no matter what this crazy mixed up world does. It may mean tests, trials, and troubles galore, but as fire purifies gold and silver, we will be purified and made more and more like Yeshua.
We Must Die To Self!
Johna shared that years ago the Lord had shown her that the Throne Room is always open, but we build a brick wall between us and the Throne. On the brick wall she saw one word written, “SELF”. We must choose for that wall to come down!
The Lord recently told me that we have many mountains in our life. He has given us the authority to move some of those mountains, but others we must climb. He said that the first mountain we must climb and conquer is the mountain of “SELF”.
“We must decrease, and He must increase!!!”
