"WHAT IS SOON TO TRANSPIRE"
May 19, 2007
1The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2who testifies to everything he sawthat is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Rev. 1:1-3
"Step inside my courtroom and I will let you know what is yet to transpire. For my timetable is not as man's. I tell you that another war will break-out upon your borders. It has been said before, but the present war that the United States has been involved in, will become another one. For the ancient neighbor of Babylon will rise-up. Your borders will fall prey to the siege.
(Here I saw in the spirit, pillars break in half and fall. I saw stone crumble and the foundation of a building collapse and fall to the ground.)
I tell you that your governmental system will break. For their attention will have been diverted elsewhere. These are the beginnings of woes. But in time, I will come with healing in my wings. I have my angels set at particular points around the globe. They will hold back the fury so that the siege will not kill all. There are already some whom I have instructed to provide places of refuge. Those that trust in Me will prevail. But then after a short time after the events of these days, one will arise who sets himself upon a throne. He will set himself up as a man of peace, but his aim is to control the entire globe. These days that you are now in are hastening forward to this time. It is much shorter than you think."

"WHO HAS THE ANSWERS TO THESE THINGS?"
May 5, 2007
12 "But I tell you, in this you are not right, for God is greaterthan man.13 Why do you complain to him that he answers none of man'swords [a] ?14 For God does speak-now one way, now another- though manmay not perceive it. Job 33:12-14
"What is there within the reaches of your own spirit that I cannottouch? What hurt or deep memory can I not heal? When you have acavity or a tooth problem, you go to the dentist. When you have aphysical problem you go to a doctor. Why would you not go to Me forthe things that involve your spirit? You go to all kinds ofprofessionals upon the earth to solve your problems. Am I not aprofessional? Do I not know everything that has been created withinyou? I caused man to come into existence. I breathed life into himand then he was born. I set the stars in the heavens. I created nightand day. What reason would there be for not coming to Me?
I tell you that many will come to Me in the hours that are ahead. Forwhen the earth reels in birth pangs there will be no one else that youcan go to. When the monetary system in your government fails thenyour financial experts will not have all the answers. When hurricanescontinue to pound your coastlines and unusual weather patternscontinue, then your weather reporters will shake their heads. Whenbloodshed continues in your schools and in other areas of society,will your psychologists have all the answers? When war erupts uponyour own land will your military be strong enough to stave them off?
My people, I do have all the answers to these things. I AM the onethat you can come to. I AM the expert in all these fields. Then thelight will be shed abroad. Man in his most dark hour will come to Mein desperation. "

"A CONTRAST OF THINGS"
April 28, 2007
My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you haverejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you haveignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children. Hosea4:6
"What is there in the heavens and on the earth that I have not shownyou in my word? Is not my glory evident for all to see? From timeimmortal I was there and I was moving. But in these last days I havespoken through my Son. I have used many to speak forth my word, but Itell you that these are precarious times. These are times when men'shearts will fail them. These are times when nations will war againstothers---for I tell you, there are more wars ahead. There are warslooming on the horizon. They may be seen as a small cloud now, but astime progresses that cloud will fill the sky.
Have I not said these things before? Have I not said repeatedly thatdangerous times are ahead? Have I not said that natural disasterswill be on the increase? However, much of mankind continues in their daily routine. They areoblivious to the times and seasons. Many of your churches spit outthe same sermons week after week---is there anything that can be givento warn and illuminate? I have said in my word that 'My people sufferfor lack of knowledge.' Who is it that hears and who is it that sees?Even those that say that they see and hear do not. Many are likeostriches that bury their heads in the sand. I say that if my peopleare not warned for what lies ahead then surely, devastation will cometo them.
But I have always provided a way out. I have made a cleft in therock. Many will be hidden under the pinions of my wings when troublecomes. For it is said, 'Hope deferred makes the heart sick.' So,even so my people, have hope in the midst of all these things. Myhope will never disappoint you. My hope will rise above the calamityof these days, and it will spring forth into new activations of myspirit. For a devastation will come, but a new dawn is coming for mypeople."

'I HAVE NOT GIVEN YOU THIS SPIRIT"
April 15, 2007
14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.15For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again tofear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.[a] And by him we cry,"Abba,[b] Father." 16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit thatwe are God's children. Rom. 8:14-16
"My people, why are you always looking at things that cause fear? Whydo you always look at the problems and the situations in life and notto Me? Do you not know that fear is a cancer? It spreads like adisease among its members. It infiltrates your entire body and mind.I have not given you this spirit. I have given you a sound mind tograsp the things that I have said unto you.
I see much fear among my body in this hour. They fear another WorldWar III breaking out in your country. You fear nuclear holocast.You fear disease, and calamity, and storm. You fear life itself. Howcan you trust Me if you have this spirit? How can you know Me if youhave fear of these things?
Come to Me and I will give you a new spirit. Come to Me and I willdress your wounds. Come to Me and I will turn your fear intolaughter. I will give you peace beyound measure. I will turn yourdarkness into light. "

"THE TREASURES OF DARKNESS"
April 7, 2007
"I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight - I willbreak in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron- and I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches ofsecret places, that you may know that I, the Lord, who calls you byname, am the God of Israel." Isaiah 45:2,3
3in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4I tellyou this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.Col. 2:2-4
"The treasuries of darkness are hidden only to those who cannot see.For to those who can see, I will open up the doors of my storehouse.Here lies wisdom in a great abode. Here there are great gems to befound. Here are rubies and saphies beyond belief. All of this isnot hidden to those who would come to Me. Here is a great storehouseof wisdom. "
"For in my darkness you will find my light. For have I not createdsome things to be hidden? But to those who would seek Me they would beshown. What are the things that have been hidden up to this day? Isay that the future, the past, and the present all lie open within myabode. Come through the door and I will show you the treasures ofdarkness---they are only dark because they have been hidden. "
"Here men's hearts are laid open. Here the chronicles of deeds andefforts are shown. I have said that if you 'Seek first my kingdom andmy righteousness then all these things would be added unto you.' So,seek Me first and then all these things will be added unto you. "

"WHY DO THE WICKED PROSPER?"
March 31, 2007
Jeremiah 12 Jeremiah's Complaint
1 You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you.Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of thewicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" inChrist. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory ofGod. 2 Corinthians 1:19-21
"There is nothing that I can not do. There is everything that I cananswer. All of my answers unto you are yes and amen. From the deepestocean to the farthest reaches of outer space, I AM there. When itseems that the sun is not shining; look to Me and you will see abrighter sonshine."
"Why does it seem that the wicked go on and inherit many things? Whydoes it seem that they do great things and inherit an abundance ofmoney? I tell you that all these things are weighed in my balance.At the sound of the last trumpet some will go unto the marriage supperof the lamb, and others will go unto eternal punishment."
"So, do do not consider these things. Know that I AM there to providejustice. Know that I have a higher plan. Know that I AM thereworking in the midst of all your struggles. All of these things willbe laid bare. "
Stephen Hanson
"TO MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS-SEEK A BALANCE"
March, 17, 2007
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. I Cor. 3:10
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. Eph. 2: 21
(To have balance in one's life is an important thing. There are many factors in a person's life that can easily cause one to get topsy turvy in their life. To all of us, but especially to those who seek revelation, remember to balance this with the written word of God. Learn wisdom in doing this, and it will prove to be of a great benefitin all areas of your life. This is something that I have struggled with before, and I'm learning that it is important to apply to all areas of our lives.)
"I will tell you what I want my servants the prophets, to know. 'Do not be eager to set dates about events in my kingdom. Do not go off into tangents about issues that are important only to you. Do not presume to know all revelation---remember that a haughty spirit goes before a fall. Do not take all revelation as truth until you have balanced it with my word. Of what benefit is revelation unless you know how to apply it? To have dreams and visions may well be a sign that you hear from Me, but there are other spirits out there that give dreams and visions. Follow the way of wisdom. Seek the path that leads up the mountains. Do not be alone in your endeavors, but seek counsel from others. Again I say, seek a balance. Seek a balance between my written word and my rhema word. When you fly as an eagle, know also that you need to return to the nest. There you can be sustained. I say to also seek apostolic truth. Find others who are fathers among you. Herein you will find a balance. The spiritual building is made up of many members. Indeed, without the foundation it would not be able to rise. Have you made certain that the Chief Cornerstone has been set in its proper place? For without these things done correctly, then the remaining structure will not rise. Then all my members will rise to their full potential and the framework will have done its purpose. "
Stephen Hanson
IT IS TIME FOR APPLICATION
March 11, 2007
( I received several responses back concerning my last message that I wrote to you,from my heart. Thank you for your encouragement, concern, and words. However, I think that some misunderstood what I was trying to say to you. I dont believe that the Lord wants me to quit speaking His word in the form of the prophetic, but I do believe that He wants me to share how to apply these words to you in your own lives. You see, without application, then the words are just words. They are hopefully true words from the heart of the Father, but without knowing how they are to be used in our lives, then they are without foundation. To make a comparison, it is edifying and necessary to read the scriptures but if when we read, My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, James1:19, but if we dont follow what is being said, then what merit is there? So in turn, if we read a prophecy and say, How wonderful and important what the Lord is saying here to us, but we dont then put it into practice, the prophecy will fall to the ground. Below, the Lord is clarifying what I was attempting to say earlier to you. Again, thank you for your understanding and your hearts in this. )
Dear people, this is what I am wanting to say unto you: There are many messages out there that are being spoken by some people, and even some well-known people, that are from their own imaginations. I am also saying that there needs to be applications for the prophetic words that are being sent out. While it is true that true words are meaningful and they bring life to the hearer, one also needs to know how to apply them to their lives. As many of you know, I have set-up various ministries within my body to work together to bring my body unto fullness. The job of the prophet is to speak my word unto the measure that I give it to him or her. The job of the apostle is to work with the prophet and to help the people to know how to apply these words in their lives. Both of them are important. But there is a definite need in this hour to be practical in knowing how to apply true prophetic words. Without application then the word is just a word that has brought life but is not meaningful because it is without foundation. Have I not said that Blessed is the man that not only hears my word but does it? For without doing it he is like the man that built his house upon the sand.
So, it is time to be practical. It is time for application. It is time for day-to-day living.

FROM WHENCE DOES TROUBLE COME?
Feb. 24, 2007
5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed. Job 4:5
He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he said. Job 2:10
22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail, 23 which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle? 24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth? Job 38: 22-24
I AM the Bright and Morning Star. I AM the Stone that crushed the builders. I AM that I AM. From everlasting to everlasting, I AM.
From whence does trouble come? Where and when does trouble exist, and why must man continue in his worthless pursuits? I tell you that I created a garden at the beginning of time so that man and woman might take care of it and find a place of rest and beauty to reside in. Then, when this did not work out, I gave my only Son as a ransom for many. But few there are, who come to him. So, again I ask. Where and when does trouble come from? My servant Job asked the same thing, and yet he was a righteous man. He was afflicted more than any other man has been, and yet he remained true. I tell you that this earth is full of trouble since the time of the fall from grace. It springs up from the original sin that man created. And yet if you would come to my Son then the very briars and thorns of trouble would be turned into roses. Then the weak would spring up with strength. Then the mute would speak. But I tell you that trouble will always exist. It has come into the garden, but I have provided a way out. So, the very concerns that you have about signs of destruction around the world are partly as a result of this original sin. Trouble has come as well because of my mounting judgment upon mankind. So, the very seed of sin has sprung-up unto death, and because of this, my judgment has increased. But from everlasting unto everlasting, I will come and will provide a way out for man.
Stephen Hanson
YOU HAVE MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS
Feb. 17, 2007
The Fulfillment of the Law
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 5:16-18
I tell you that I AM concerned about my people. For many of them are confused about various matters. They are told by various teachers that they are told to do this and to do that. I tell you that my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Many still look to the law for answers about various things. They look to the laws of Moses instead of to Me. Why must many of you still be babes in your thinking? You look to various Bible teachers instead of to Me. You think they are above Me? Of course, I have set-up various leaders within my body, but are you not supposed to go to Me first? I grow tired of these things. You should be going on to maturity instead of disputing about these matters. Are you to do this, or are you to do that? Why not read my word for your self? Why not search the scriptures for your own benefit?
I have come to fulfill the law and the prophets, and not to abolish them. Then you may ask, Then are we to follow grace alone? Look to Me as the fulfillment of the law. Look to Me as the completeness of the word. I became the word and the word became flesh, and it dwelt among you. Then you will eat of my precepts, and you will eat of my word. Then you will find the answers that you are seeking.

IN ITS TIME I WILL HASTEN IT
Feb. 10, 2007
"From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. Is. 48:6
From the highest heaven to the lowest ocean I am there. I am there at all times waiting for my people to come to Me. In all circumstances and in all times, I am there waiting for my people to come to Me. Come to Me and I will answer your pleas for help. I will deliver you from many dangers. When you cry out to Me I will answer you. There is none other that can answer you. Where would you go and who would you run to? Who on earth would understand your plight as well as I do? I tell you that if you would come to Me you would hear secrets of the kingdom. I would tell you things that are yet to be. I would enlighten you as to the path you should take, and the kingdom would be opened up to you.
Why must I tarry, many of you ask? I tell you that I am waiting to see all that might come to Me. For then, I will come, and I will set-up my kingdom upon this earth. Then all things will be washed away. Then bitter memories will be forgotten. Behold, I make all things new. In its time I will hasten it.

A NEW ERA IS COMING
Feb. 3, 2007
I AM the Lord and Savior of this universe. I have visited man at various times in history. In these last days I have chosen to reveal myself through my Son; but I tell you that there are few who truly hear my voice. Who has seen and who has heard my reports? Who has been willing to give up everything in order to hear my voice? Who has heard and who has been willing to listen to my words? I tell you that there is a great strategy at work in Washington DC. I tell you that there are great pressures at work within the White House. I tell you that there is an end to an era coming. In the first time in history there will be a new type of person in the White House. These are difficult days and these are days like none other in history. What will you do to prepare yourself for them? Many warnings have gone out and few have been heeded. The war in Iraq will continue but because of the decisions that have been made, a great struggle will be faced by the President.

HEARTS HAVE GROWN COLD
Jan. 20, 2007
1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 2 Timothy 3:1-3
I tell you that the times are changing. I tell you that hearts will grow cold. I tell you that children will become more and more disobedient to their parents. I tell you that even in the church these things will be evident. I tell you that many will deny me in this hour. I tell you that many places of worship have become lukewarm.
I am coming back for a bride but I dont see her ready. I hear of your conventions and your seminars, but what have they done for you? Have you become more merciful to the poor? Have you given out of your need or your surplus? Have you grown great in your gifts but poor in your wisdom? I tell you that I dont see that youre ready. When will you abolish the things of the world? When will you desire to be like me? I tell you that hearts have grown cold.

DIVINE JUDGMENT
Jan. 13, 2006
The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. Psalm 9:7He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Psalm 105:7
[Judgment Against the Nations ] Come near, you nations, and listen; pay attention, you peoples! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, the world, and all that comes out of it! Isaiah 34:1
This world is on the edge of being propelled into divine judgment. The nations stand upon the precipice of time. I tell you that great shakings are going to occur during this timeframe. It is I that causes the winds to blow. It is I that causes the oceans to roar, but when people see these things in nature they think that they are normal occurrences. They do not know that I move behind the scenes. It is I that sits upon the throne. For ages it has been this way, but I tell you that the book is being opened up. The book is being opened up of divine judgments. These judgments have been reserved for the final days. Man goes about his business as usual, and he thinks that I am not involved in his affairs. I will not linger long. Perhaps some will see my hand at work this year.

WHO SPEAKS THE TRUTH AMONG THE PROPHETS?
Dec. 30Jan. 2, 2006
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD. Jer. 23:16
There are many catastrophes, both natural and spiritual, that will be coming in the New Year. When the New Year opens up it will be life as usual for most people, but I tell you that there are many things forthcoming in this year. Some major prophets point out that there will be glorious days ahead. Someone even points out that there will be a Christian President in office the next 20 years. I tell you that these men are saying what the public wants to hear. Truly, where is the balanced word to be found? Who would give a word of promise and yet of warning? Will my people continue to listen to just those who have notoriety? Who has ears to hear? I will make it plain in the coming months who speaks the truth and who does not. Then it will be plain.
Stephen Hanson
ENTER INTO THE NEW
Dec. 23, 2006
See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you." Isaiah 42:9
I tell you, there are many things I want to tell my children in this hour. There are many things that most of you dont understand. You are still following the system and the spirit of this age. You still follow the routines that are outlined in many of your churches. Enter into a new place with Me in this hour. Come before Me and I will tell you new things of my spirit. Throw away the old and embrace the new. Even many of my prophets and apostles have become numb to the things of my spirit.
What are the questions of this age? Who has all the answers? What great books and places of learning can help you with this? I tell you that I AM the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I never change. When you see the great catastrophes of this age, know that you can run to Me. Come into a new relationship with Me in this hour. Lay aside your concerns about the future. Lay aside your concerns about when I will come back. Lay aside your systematic teachings about these things. Forgive one another. Put aside your grievances.

DECEIVERS AND THE GODLY
Dec. 16, 2006
7Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 8Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. 2 John 1:6-8
By streams of living waters I will pour forth my spirit upon my people. They will defeat the dark enemy of their souls. They will go onto victory. But I tell you, satan is marshalling a great host. He knows that the end of the age is near; so he would muster all his strength. He has gained access to high governmental circles. He has deceived many and has corrupted them. His strategies are to corrupt the minds of many governmental leaders. But I tell you, that I will turn my searchlight on them. You will see into their strategies. There is this great force of evil that is at work within the earth. You see it everywhere. I tell you that the deceiver of the ages will be set upon his throne. He is the one that will deceive many into following him. There are plans being made for the placement of these things. I tell you my people, that the very core of your belief will be tested. Will you give into the deceiver, or will you follow my spirit in these last days? Many have wondered about these days. They devise very cleverly thought-out plans, but do your teachers know all these things? Even a simple child would see that dark days are ahead. Be ready, and have your lamps trimmed. Know how to discern the many false messages that come into your lives. I tell you that there are many well-known prophets who think that they speak for Me. Their time will come. For they will be held accountable for all the words that they have spoken.

"NEW POLICES FOR THE NEW YEAR"
Dec. 2, 2006
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Is. 55:9
"I tell you that there are many things that are forthcoming for the people of this earth. I tell you to watch the White House. Watch, wait, and see. There is a new political arena that is being established. Many changes will be forthcoming in the next year. You have seen the beginning, but in time it will all change. Beware, those who think they know how polices will be made and created. There is an agenda that I have that is far above the agendas that are made in the White House. "

WHO HEARS MY FULL COUNSEL?
Nov. 18, 2006
20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand it clearly. 21 I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my council, they would have proclaimed my words to my people and would have turned them from their evil ways and from their evil deeds. Jeremiah 23:20-22
I tell you that there are many voices speaking out there. There are many voices that say they are speaking for Me. There are many that would saythat they are speaking from my counsel. There are many that promise thingsin my spirit. But I tell you that many of the well-known prophets of this timein which you are living, do not hear my full counsel. They hear just oneside of my spirit. Few there are that hear my judgment of what is to come. Many want to please the masses. Who hears just one side of a report?Who enters into my counsel and hears my whole message? I tell you thatthe reason they have not heard these things is because they have not gonethrough the fire. They have become comfortable in their callings.
