"THERE IS A HUSH BEFORE THE STORM"

4/9/2013

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. Psalm 93:3

"Truly I tell you, this nation will go through its most difficult time in history. For the winds are blowing across the land. There is a stirring happening. There is a hush before the storm.

There is an assembling together of forces. For the land to the east is plotting. But the young leader cannot reach his hand this far yet. But China and Russia will join forces. For in those days ahead when you are most vulnerable, then it will happen.

Watch and wait for those days are coming. When your gaze is directed elsewhere, then you will be taken by surprise. Then the oceans will roar and spread their mighty waves upon the coasts. Then you will reel back and forth like a drunken man. When Spring gives way to Summer and the seasons change once again; when Fall gives way to Winter, and then back to Spring once again......during the new year these things will begin.

For the seasons are at my command. Time as you know it, will take on a new dimension. The hour glass will wane, and those things spoken of by my true prophets will begin to happen. "

"YOU SEE NOT AND YOU HEAR NOT"

April 7, 2013

9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.Isaiah 6

"The wind is blowing across this land. You can hear the sound of it, but you cannot see it, says the Lord. You can hear the sound of my voice speaking to you, but you cannot see my voice.

You have heard about many events that are going on around the world today. You hear about them in the news. You see them played out on your TV screens. You can hear and see about these events from the jungles of Africa to the far reaches of Siberia. You see children starving in Ethiopia, you see a new Pope elected in Rome, and you see the continued political in-fighting in Washington. With all these images before you, you can still not see my Spirit.

You can see the love between a mother and her child. You can see the anguish on a homeless person's face. You can see the birth of a new child. And you can see the wrinkles on an old man's face.

But I tell you, the blind can see more than most of you. The dull of hearing can hear a deeper sorrow and can hear a more profound joy than those who have ears. Truly, you are a people who see not and hear not. And yet, I sent Isaiah to a people like that. Would that you would hear. Would that you would see. Would that the eyes of your hearts would be enlightened. For many children see better than most of you. Would that you would become like a little child. For your reason has kept you from seeing.

For there is a world right in front of your eyes. There are vistas and a land just in front of your reach. For Elisha truly saw into the enemy's camp. Truly, he saw that there were more on his side.

Ask that you would be able to see with my eyes. Ask that you would be able to hear with my ears. Then the world would open-up unto you. Then the doors would open that have long been shut. "

"I TELL YOU THAT THE WATERS WILL NOT OVERTAKE MY PEOPLE"

4/4/13

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:2

"I tell you that the waters will not overtake my people, says the Lord. For when the land is 'purged' I will provide a way out for my people. For even though there are great catastrophes coming many will be alerted in advance. For the trumpet will sound and many will escape.

But many will ignore the warning, and they will be left without a rescuer.

I have said that I will not destroy the world by a flood again, but many of my signs during this time will have this used. But the military and the government will not save you on that day. For I will blow a mighty wind across the land on that day, and the waters will recede.

(I was shown the United States again and the land masses had become altered. Where the east coast was, now the coastline had moved inland several hundred miles. Where Texas and the Gulf Coast was, the edges of the coastlines had moved inland, and the water had come into Texas all the way to around where Dallas was on a diagonal line going north to southwest.)

But the land will be forever changed. For where there once was a land mass now there won't be one. For your coastlines will change. The eastern coastline will have moved inland many miles. Texas and the Gulf Coasts' states will have moved inland some 500 miles or more.

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me several candles lit as if they were burning torches. )

But in the midst of this, I have the light from my saints lighting the way. For my people will have the light of my kingdom lit as an ensign to the people. For many will lose hope in that day; many will go after other gods. And when all these things come to their greatest head, then the one will come who promises peace. But peace is far from his heart. Many will be led astray in that day. But you my people will not be led astray, for you will know who he is.

You will not be 'taken out' but you will be given sanctuary. So, know these things are coming. Don't live in fear because of them, but know that I watch over my own. "

"HERALD A TRUE MESSAGE WITH MY TRUMPET"

3/31/13

11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please , and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah 55

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a trumpet and then out of it came different objects which were blown. At first it looked like parts of flowers and other objects as these were being blown out of the trumpet. Then there was wind and the wind swirled and burst forth out of the trumpet. It was being blown and then there were missiles and rockets coming forth. )

"My word will go out unto the ends of the earth. My word from my "true prophets" will go out like a rocket unto the ends of the earth. For it will be unstoppable. It will be blown as Gabriel's trumpet has been blown.

For the trumpets of some of my prophets have been clogged with the things of this world. And those words will NOT go out unto the ends of the earth. For they don't produce the sound of my kingdom. How can you be ready for battle if you don't hear the sound? But if you herald my message as it should be, then it will warn the people.

Too many itching ears, says the Lord. Too many songs that come from your own hearts. But if you blow the song that I give you, then the walls will come tumbling down. They will come tumbling down just as they did at Jericho. "

"IN THAT DAY THE MOUNTAINS WILL DRIP WITH HONEY"

March, 25, 2013

17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them. 24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord. Isaiah 65

"In that day the mountains will drip with honey. For my word will have gone out unto the end of the earth. The rough places will have been made smooth, and all men and women will climb up the mountain, to be taught by Me, says the Lord.

The doors and the walls of that city will ever remain open. For the earth will be over-flowing with the brightness of my Father's kingdom. You will reign with Me during those days.

For after the dark days have ended, after the one doomed for perdition has come and gone, then the marriage feast of the Lamb will begin. No man has seen or mind imagined, what I have in store for my people in that day.

But let me tell you, the days will unravel like a scroll. The seasons will have taken on a hue of their own. You will know as you have been known. And the rivers of my spirit will flow from my throne. You will dance and play in them. The water is crystal clear there. You will recognize those who have gone on before you.

The roads leading up to my throne are paced with a gold unlike anything on earth that you have seen. The light of my everlasting light fills my people and it is their life.

An old man will be counted young in that day. The young will have a wisdom that outshines anything that Solomon once had. The trees on either side of that road are for the healing of the nations.

The days of sorrow will have ended. The times of darkness will have been rolled up like a blanket. And he who would gaze upon the faces there would behold an everlasting light that has always been, yea, even since before the world was created.

So look forward to these days, my people. Look past the tribulations which are to come. I have your places ready for you. The gates will be flung open on that day, and I will welcome you home."

HEY SPREAD PALM BRANCHES, NOW THEY SPREAD UNBELIEF"

3/22/13

8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. Matt. 21
The Lord said to me,

"When I came into Jerusalem and rode upon a donkey, they spread palm branches on the ground before Me. Now when I come, they spread unbelief.

For the palm branches were a sign of welcoming a King. Now they don't welcome Me, they want another.

But when I come back through the eastern gate, then they will know who I AM.

For I AM the soon and coming King. The walls will move and the earth will crack, when I come. The stone that the builders rejected will smash upon them.

Everyone looks for a king to deliver them, but most look towards earthly standards.

At that time they will finally lay down their weapons of warfare. For their spears and pruning hooks will be turned into plowshares.

Your palm branches will wither; for time withers everything. The dust will blow, and the entire ground where you once lauded Me will give way to a great earthquake.

Then you will look upon him whom you pierced. Then you will truly see the soon and coming King. "

"SOME OF MY PROPHETS HAVE FALLEN PREY TO SEDUCING SPIRITS"

March 20, 2013

4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; I Tim. 4
(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a scene with a man walking with a staff along the road. He was bent over and I noticed that there was a cloud, or spirit resting upon him. At first it looked like the man was carrying a bundle of something on his back because he was so bent over. However, the more I continued to see, I noticed that this wasn't a burden or sack, but an actual spirit that rested just over him. He continued to walk along this road, bent over. The spirit upon him told him to go this way and then that way. The spirit was whispering in his ear saying different things.)

"Many supposed prophets during this time have been 'lured' by seducing spirits. These 'seducing spirits' have said pleasant things to them. They have said that all is well. The Lord says that a spirit of seduction has come upon many. For many have been swayed by this spirit.

I say to 'shake off the spirit.' "You must leave, for I will follow you no more!" Many in the prophetic are falling prey to this spirit. "

"THIS YEAR YOU WILL SEE THE REMOVAL OF MANY THINGS"

March, 17, 2013

2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. John 16:2

(The Lord God is looking for the David's in this hour. The time of Saul is coming to an end in the church system. Those who are a Saul, will be removed. God looks on the inward character of a man and of a leader. While we know that King Saul was chosen by the people, his time did not last, but came to an end.

"The end of all things is at hand.
This year you will see the removal of many things. For this year some of your freedoms will be gone.
This year various leaders in the church will step down because of their outright sin.

For my true leaders have come out of my churches. Some of you will be thrown out of the churches, because you have spoken the truth and they don't want to hear it. For my 'called out' ones will speak with thunder in this hour. You may not be 'received' but I receive you.

A greater voice comes out of the wilderness. For I will exalt my own, but I will humble those who have exalted themselves. For there are many in the church that I will take out. I remove those who have been in places of a hierarchy. Greater among you are those who are servants of all.

Many of you will meet in various homes because the major churches will have burned to the ground. For the entire landscape of the church system will have changed.

But I will resurrect a new people in this hour. They are as fine jewels in my crown. They will weather the storms that are coming, and they will be alert to the devices of the evil one."

Peter the Roman

March 13, 2013

(The Lord had me hold off on this word and wait to send it out. I received this message before the new pope was elected. We now see someone who doesn't "appear" to fit this description. However, give it time, and we will see more clearly. )

13 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? Rev. 13

The Lord told me that the next pope may not go by the name of Peter the Roman but he would "do" what he would do. He would "act" the way that Peter the Roman would act. He would set himself up to hate all the Protestants.

He will be filled with the spirit that comes from down below. He will be a man that doesn't follow after others. He will make his own rules after his own mind and heart. He may start out in glory, but he will end in fury. For he will take up his cause against many. He will hate those of the Protestant faith. Watch and wait, for all these things are held in secret.

(The spirit of the Lord showed me the new pope dressed in garments of gold waving his hands, but he was traveling upon a dais of some sort going around, while people were honoring and praising him.These people were bowed down as if praying to him, but many then were going into their graves, as if dead.)

The pomp and circumstance will commemorate him, but his glory comes from another source. This pope, this man, is truly the last one. He is the one that will speak from another power, from another source. And then the long lineage of the popes will come to an end.

"ROME WILL FALL----ALL OF ITS POMP & CIRCUMSTANCE WILL COME TO AN END"

March, 12, 2013

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 13
(This prophetic message began with a scene of the basilica at the Vatican. The sky above was dark and full of clouds, and then the Lord spoke.)

"Rome will fall....all of its pomp and circumstance will come to an end. For all of the lines of the popes will come to an end.

Gone will be the glorious pageantry. Gone will be the robes. Gone will be the smoke and the candles.

For I will send a mighty wind, and this mighty wind will blow everything away. For I will destroy all of the images. I will destroy the gold. It will be gone and the earth will swallow it up.

For I have never called for a church like this. It was allowed to be in place for many years but now, towards the end of this succession, the time of the popes will come to an end. "

"THE ANGELS ARE HERALDING THEIR MESSAGE ALONG THE GREAT RIFT"

March, 11, 2013
2 Peter 3:1-13 "1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

(Again the Lord is speaking to me and showing me this great rift which will crack open in the middle of our land. He brings this to our attention yet again, because He is wanting to alert us. Will we be ready? Will we be taken unawares by it? )

"What would say to Me for this nation? What would you say for a nation that has gone so far from Me?

What would you say when the trees fall? What would you say when the mountains quake? For the mountains will quake. The waters will rise and rise against the coasts.

For you Babylon, have fallen. For you were once a holy nation. You once honored Me.

You once were the home of the free. You once had the brave. But you have departed from Me.

The sounds of my trumpets are echoing across the land. But many of my prophets have spoken falsely. Many have mixed my word with their own gain.

But I AM digging a channel, a deep trench, and it is going to separate the true from the false in this hour.

Watch out for sudden destruction. Watch as that area cracks wide open. Watch as your land is separated. I say, 'Flee from either side of it!'

(In the midst of this prophetic word, the Lord showed me this chasm that developed from the rift, that opens in the earth. Again, it is shown that this rift is in the middle of our continent. I was shown a row of angels standing upon either side of this great rift. They stood there as if guarding on either side of it, and then they played upon their trumpets on either side of this great rift in the earth. And then the vision faded.)

"YOU STAND UPON A THRESHOLD MY PEOPLE, YOU STAND UPON A CLIFF"

March 4, 2013

“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a group of people who had come to the edge of a cliff. The cliff dropped to an unknown chasm below that was very deep. I could see onto the other side where the other cliff was.)

"You stand upon a threshold my people; you stand upon a cliff. For in the coming days, the cliff will become deeper and deeper. But there is a way out for you my people.

(Now I was shown a very narrow foot bridge that was held together by ropes.)

"In the coming months, many of you will have to travel over this footbridge. For all of the dangers and catastrophic events lie at the bottom of this chasm; but you will travel 'over them.'

(Now I saw the same scene with the footbridge but now instead of a bridge I saw the Son of Man, Jesus, laying down with his body spread out upon the area between the two cliffs. He served as the bridge itself, so that one who would believe, could travel across his body unto the other side safely.)

"For my body serves as a bridge and a safe place in this hour. You have entered into a time where time will not reverse itself. "

(Now I was shown a scene of St. Peters and Vatican City in Rome. Several people were scattered around in the square in front of the basilica. Then the earth began to crack and open up. Now I saw the Pope, and he was handing out what would appear to be wafers to his followers like at Holy Communion, except that these weren't wafers, but they were something entirely different...then the vision faded.)

"I the Lord, say that I will destroy Rome. It will be swallowed up. I will destroy the idols of centuries and centuries. And the lineage of the Popes will come to an end. "

"FOR AT A TIME OF CELEBRATION YOUR LAND WILL COME UNDER ATTACK"

Feb. 24, 2013 afternoon,

32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. I Chron. 12:32

"The United States is in store for some very rough roads ahead. The economy will dip to an all-time low. Watch as more devastation hits the east coast. Watch as the leaders of your country continue to bicker back and forth.

For at a time of celebration, your land will come under attack. For these things have been planned in secret.

Under the earth there are rumblings. The extremes of weather patterns are one of the signs. Watch as more and more unusual weather patterns develop----for these are the birth pangs leading to other things. More and more shootings and violence fills the streets.

What has happened to the churches? They say, 'Peace, peace, to all present!' My body needs the sons of Issachar, for they knew the signs and were able to read them.

Watch as cuts in your economy devastate certain programs and people. How can a country and a nation get anything done? And the Leopard (Iran) in the east stands waiting.

Atrocities and blood sheds are other signs for you... For children will wage war against their parents. The love of many will wax cold. Many will seek help from gurus and psychics, and the ancient practices will be unearthed. Beware of the fallen angels, for those who once mated with the daughters of men, will rise again. For the enemy has many tools in his arsenal. But stand your ground against him---for he will flee when you speak the word against him.

There is nothing hidden that won't be seen, for surely, I do nothing in this hour without it be given to my prophets first."

"YOU WILL BUILD A SANCTUARY IN THE WILDERNESS ON THAT DAY"

Feb. 18, 2013
Psalm 46
46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;


"The landscape is filling-up with an arena of new characters in it. For they come marching upon the scene.These are those who are coming in these last days. For it is a great assembly that is gathering. Their armor has been set and ready for this day. For these are those who stand on that day.

For as the birth pangs continue around the globe, I have a people who have set their face like flint. For they come from far and wide. They come out of that period that one would call the Great Tribulation. For their robes have been made clean. They did not give-in to the deceiver. Instead, I fed them by the streams of living water.

For they will have come out of cities that are called sanctuaries. I will protect my people in that day. For even as the entire map of the United States is changed, I have a map laid-out for my ones to go to. For even in the wilderness there will be streams of living water. There will be people who have banded together. They will have escaped the wrath that is to come.

(I was shown people gathering fruit and other foods. I saw a group of people gathered in the wilderness, working together as one, helping each other, and building together a sanctuary, a city in the wilderness.)

For as my people were fed in the wilderness, so will I give them a new manna. Your jobs and your work places will be over with. But as you work together for Me I will give you a new job. For some will labor with their hands in building. Some will tend gardens. Others will stand as watchmen upon the walls. Many will tend the young. You will find peace and comfort in your gathering together.

Even though the hills will have become desolate and empty, I will cause you to find fertile soil. For you will be saved from the onslaught of the invasion. You will be given warning ahead of time. You will be told what to do and where to go. In those days a little child will be given the wisdom from of old. Great miracles will happen in your midst, and you will be sustained and given strength. "

"THE GIVER OF GOOD GIFTS"

Feb. 12, 2013

14 For the body is not one member, but many.15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked. 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. I Cor. 12

(The Spirit of the Lord showed me a man who was holding a balancing scale in his hands.. The man, (the Lord himself) held the balancing scales in his arms and one side would be weighted down more than the other side. This continued for some time. Then out of the Lord's robes I noticed that he reached inside of them and drew out different gifts or presents, that had bows on them. These gifts were then given out unto a crowd.)

He then said,

"I want to give gifts unto my children, but many don't know how to use them. Many have sought Me for the wrong reason. Many have sought Me so that they would be given more and more things from my spirit. And I have asked that if you truly seek Me, that I the giver of good gifts, would give unto you those things that you desire of Me. But you see, some have abused these things. Some have used these gifts to give them more prominence. Some have lorded over others because of this. Do you not know that I AM the giver of these gifts? Do you not know that I have placed one in someone and another one in someone else? And yet I see some of my children jealous over these things. Have I not said that my body is made up of many members? I tell you that some of the gifts that I have given have become tainted with your own attitudes.

You are one body with many members. When one fails to do their work the entire body suffers. How would my body function if you were all the same? Don't try to be something that you are not. Don't try to change the appearance of the clay. Where one is weak another can be strong.

I Am the giver of good gifts. But without faith, hope, and love those gifts will never be effective. Those are the things that are eternal. Those are the things that will last. And when you excel at the things that I have given you, then I can give you more. But it is not the gifts that make you more holy or spiritual, but it is becoming like Me in character. When you become one with Me in spirit then those very gifts will plant in others a seed that will grow into a plant that will thrive.

For I have said that I don't take your gifts back, but with the abuse of them, you can be brought to your knees and held accountable to others in the body. And some have gone the way of the enemy; some have become corrupted through filthy gain. For it is like a new sword, it was once forged in the fire. After a while it has lost its luster. Let Me forge those gifts anew. Then I will fame the flame with my bellows and your instruments will return to their original luster."

"LOOK TO ME RATHER THAN TO THE SPECULATIONS AROUND YOU"

Feb. 11, 2013

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 2 Tim. 2:23

"I tell you that people are going to and fro looking for answers. I have spoken to you before about many of the deceptions in this hour. For some people go here and there looking for answers about the times that we're living in. They get swayed by news reports; they look to the headlines.

For I have said, in these days even the elect may get deceived by various reports and prophecies. Don't jump to conclusions about certain things. While the past has some good wisdom to offer regarding certain prophecies, know that my word is ever un-folding.

Know that the recent development of a pope stepping-down is all part of my plan. Know that the world will take on a new dimension with the election of the next one. But don't speculate and say that this is the one who will set himself up as a new Christ.

These are times that call for great wisdom. Look to Me rather than to the speculations around you. Don't get caught-up in endless speculations, for they can only breed quarrels.

In this hour think how you can please Me. Think how you can be rooted and grounded in Me more. Then when the trouble comes, you won't be as easily swayed.

I tell you that you are living in these last days, for trouble will be found on every front; but don't be swayed by these things. For I will equip you for every trouble that comes your way. I will strengthen you for every battle.

The end of many things is soon to come to pass. Will you have your oil in your lamps ready and burning? Press-in to being in my presence and in my word. For these are things that will sustain you in the days ahead. "

"MANY ARE SEEKING SENSATIONALISM RATHER THAN ME"

Feb. 6, 2013

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matt. 16:5

"In these times many are looking for a sign. Many are looking to the heavens; some are searching other prophecies, but the only way to really know about the assurance of these things is to seek Me. For you will find Me when you seek Me.

For many are seeking the catastrophic signs. Many are seeking sensationalism rather than Me.

For I would give you a sign, and it is the sign that I gave unto Jonah. The sign that I would give you is that you must seek repentence. For a wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. For you would look to the heavens. You would seek after the stars. Do they give you the signs that you are seeking after? They would tell you that a great eclipse will happen on such a date. So, you get out your mathematical equations, and from these signs you determine what day I will return. Oh foolish generation! Oh generation prone to sensationalism! For have I not said that that that day would come as the lightning across the sky?

So...put away your books. Put away your scientific equations. For I will come when you least expect it. Or if you would rather go away and sit in a cave and study then do that. But most assuredly this country, this nation, will face its darkest hour during a time that is quickly approaching. You can scoff; you can moan; you can pretend that it won't happen.

For you see, even some of your most beloved prophets say that wonderful things are ahead. They would entice you with promising words of sunshine. They would get out their verses and say, 'That a loving God would surely not bring devastation and judgment upon a land.' They would proclaim that these things come from the lips of a false prophet. Then seek Me, says the Lord, and if you are truly able to hear my still small voice then perhaps you will know the truth.

During the time when I first walked upon this earth I had a forerunner. During that time he spoke of repentance. He said that he was not worthy even to untie the sandals of the one that was to come. Well, I have other forerunners in this hour, and they don't mix the words that I speak with the false hopes of a deluded generation. So, put away those things that would keep you from hearing my voice. Put away those teachings that say that I am not coming back for you. It is not a dispensation. My word clearly says what generation I will return. Who is the wise man and scholar of this generation? I have not chosen the most learned among you.


But rather, I choose to speak to those who come to me with a clean heart and have the ears to hear what I would have to say. "

"WOE TO THOSE WHO LIVE ON THE COASTLINES---A WORD OF JUDGMENT UPON AMERICA"

Jan. 28, evening, 2013

42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. Jeremiah 51

(Last evening while in prayer the Lord began speaking to me some very strong words about America. I believe that judgment has begun on our nation and this is what He is saying to me now.)

"Where will America run to, and where will she hide when the day of trouble comes? For the oceans will roar...the wind will blow.

Beware those who live on the coasts, for your time will come swiftly. For in the space of one hour much will happen.

(I was shown the figure of a large angel that stood in front of me and this angel rose larger than the scene that was before me. The angel then took a container, a vial which was filled with liquid and began to pour it out upon the ground. When it was poured an entire river was formed and it cut a channel down the middle of the United States. The water rushed and split this section in two. The Lord told me that this angel was pouring a vial of judgment upon our nation.)

The Lord then said,

"Flee to the mountains I say. Find safe havens in places of safety. For the time will come when you will see these things come right before your eyes. For the entire landscape of your nation will be changed. Where there once was a land mass, now there won't be one.

Most of the land mass of California will be swept into the ocean.

(Here the spirit of the Lord showed me from above, a map of the United State and it was focused upon California. I watched intently as the very outline of the state became fractured, and broke-off from the rest of the United States. Then water from the ocean rushed in upon it and it was separated and sank into the ocean.)

"Woe to those of you who live in large metropolitan areas, for you will be hit the hardest. Woe to those of you who put your strength in man. For your nation will be brought to its knees. You will be rocked back and forth. You will taste the fury of my anger.

Woe to different cities in your nation. Woe to New York City---Woe to ye Chicago---Woe to Phoenix. Woe to the city of sinners, Las Vegas, for your judgment will come swifter than most."

Stephen Hanson

"YOU STAND UPON A PRECIPICE OH PEOPLE OF AMERICA"

Jan 25, 2013

Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon. Jer. 51

"You stand upon a precipice, oh people of America. You stand upon the end of an age. You stand waiting and wondering what you should do.

Have you listened to the watchmen as they have been telling you about what is to come? Many have stood upon the walls and have listened to what I have had to say. But I tell you, many of you have not listened. You would rather spend your days ignoring the things around you. I have told many about my judgment which is coming.

(The spirit of the Lord kept showing me a pair of balancing scales. He showed this to me repeatedly from different angles. I watched as one side of the scales was heavier than the other. This scene was repeated several times and one side of the balancing scales continued to be heavier on one side more than the other.)

For this earth will reel back and forth like a drunkard. As the seasons come and go, the world's economy will topple. The almighty dollar is losing its value. But I will come in to save my people from ruin.

For the times are becoming ripe. "

Stephen Hanson

"THAT DAY WILL COME"

Jan. 17, 2013

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. II Tim. 4:3

"This is a season of waiting. For very soon those things that I have mentioned about, will be within view.

For...the words have been spoken. The warnings have been given.

You stand upon a precipice, oh America. You, who were once the land of the free, and the home of brave; you will lose those freedoms which you have taken for granted.

I have asked you to fortify your walls and be ready, but many of you have chosen to bury your heads in the sand.

It is a day like none other, that is coming upon you. It is a day when those who have wept will continue to weep. It is a day when the American eagle symbol will fall. For you have swept my true words under the carpet. You have chosen to listen with itching ears those things that your favorite teachers and prophets would say to you. And because of this, you will not be ready. For the strong man will plunder your land. The siege will come when you least expect it.

Run to your prayer closets. Seek that high tower. That day will come. Thus would say the spirit of the Lord. "

Yours in Him, Stephen Hanson

"FOR WITH THE GREATER DARKNESS IS COMING, THERE IS A GREATER OUTPOURING OF MY SPIRIT"

Jan. 9, evening, 2013

"This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. Haggai 2:6

"My people will be saved from the horrors that are to come. For those things that have been written down, those scriptures that speak of what is to come; they are now being loosed upon the land.

For the armies of the world will gather in that day---they will come into that place called Armageddon, and the blood will run as high as the horses' bridles.

But I tell you, there are more killings and murders happening in the land now, and the blood has risen to my nostrils. I smell the stench of it rising.

I see a people running to find shelter. I see a land waiting in anticipation. There is a hush before the storm. There are the signs of heaven being poured out upon many. For with the greater darkness that is coming, there is a greater outpouring of my spirit.

They scoffed at Noah when the ark was being built. Very few heeded the warnings of Jeremiah. Few knew other than Isaiah, that a Son would be given to the people. Many went into the promised land, but not my servant Moses. Who has known these things from the spirit? I came unto my own but my own did not recognize me. Trouble comes to all men, and yet a greater trouble is coming that cannot be measured. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken, And my people, you have been shaken as well. And my shaking has come to make you ready to stand in that day. For it is out of love that I do these things. I weep for a world that does not know Me. The world stands upon a brink of these things. Stand ready, for these things are soon to come to pass. For this is the year of stepping into the arena, Yes, as some have prophesied, this is a year of new beginnings----it is a year of doors being opened, but it is also a year of greater shaking than the year before.

Where will you run to when it has shaken your homes? Where will you go when the economy has failed? There is a place where you can be safe. There are wings that will overshadow you on that day and hour."

Stephen Hanson

"LET ME SHAPE YOUR ARMOR"

Jan. 6, 2013

2 Corinthians 10:3-5, "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

"Watch and wait, and be patient in and out of trouble. For the evil one would attempt to sift many people in this hour. He's looking to see who he can throw off balance. But you oh man, stand firm in the faith.

For in this final hour, he will pull out all the stops. He will cloak himself in many things. For he has many disguises. He will attempt to divide many. He will seek to hurt and destroy others. He will try and disrupt families. Stand firm. Stand firm. Let your households be a strong defense against him.

Know that my word is a strong defense against him. Know that he seeks a way in that is a narrow one. He must flee when you stand against him in my name. He will try and disrupt your hope in me; but faith, hope and love are the greatest arsenals against him. You must not lose hope even when things seem to be falling apart. The greatest storm is just before the dawn.

For I come in the wings of the heavens. I come to rescue every man and woman. I come to set the captives free. I come to enter into you. But you must be firm in your resolve to stand against the evil one in this hour. I tell you that some will fall away. I tell you that some will grow weary of standing firm. For some have gone through many battles. Some of your weapons need to be fine-tuned. For there are chinks in your armor. You don't know it, but there are spaces where he has been able to enter in there.

For the enemy will know of your weaknesses. But as I have said, 'When you are weak, then I can be strong in you.' Let me shape your armor. Then it will be more useful to the pulling down of strongholds in your lives."

"NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL MEN TO KNOW THE TRUTH"

Dec. 24, 2012

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Matt. 25

“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Acts. 2

"Now is the time for all men to know the truth. Now is the time for the truth to be plainly seen. But many have tried to make the truth into their own understanding. The truth about my birth and coming unto this earth is something that many have disbelieved. They would say that I was a man in history. They may say that I was a prophet. But many of them miss that I AM HE who came in the form of a man, and I came that many might be called the sons of man.

They don't know that I can wash away their sins. They don't know that I will create in them a new heart. They don't know that I will live and breathe in them. They would go on with their lives as usual and ignore Me, but I AM the Great I AM.

You people have a respite at this time. Use the time that you now have; enjoy your family and friends. But know that in the coming year I will demand much of you. Know that I will require a greater of you. Know that I will stretch your faith to its limits. For you will have to depend upon me more and more.

And I will pour out my spirit in even a greater measure. For you think you have seen miracles. You think you have seen evidence of them so far. But I tell you they are nothing in comparison of what is to come. For many will be given new limbs. Many will receive their sight back. Those who have been plagued with cancer will receive a good report. Great feats of courage will be seen as men and women are given supernatural strength when a catastrophe comes. And you will be amazed at the wisdom of the young. For I have said that in the later days I would pour my spirit out. And it will come as the heaven opens up its gates. It will aid the widow. It will help the homeless. I will enlighten the wise.

But I will also draw a line of demarcation. For those who believe Me will be separated more and more from those who disbelieve. For I AM separating a people unto my own. I AM keeping them next to my bosom in the days ahead. These are those who won't give in to the mark that is given. These are those who will be given supernatural wisdom. But even so, I still see a people who fight and quarrel over many things. I see them quarrel and fight over gun control. I see them quarrel over the smallest of things. When will you go onto maturity? When will you eat meat rather than drink milk? "

Stephen Hanson

"IT IS TIME TO GO INTO YOUR CHAMBERS AND SEEK ME WITH YOUR OWN HEARTS"

Dec. 21, 2012

(Should it be so surprising that we see so many violent acts, so many killings, at this time in history? The word specifically says that in the last days people will depart from the truth. Children have always been disobedient to their parents, but a specific spirit of disobedience is at hand. A specific spirit of a reckless, treacherous, unholy thing is at hand. We need to be more and more aware of these things as we approach that day.)
2 Timothy 3:1-5

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

"What is to be done about a nation that has gone so far away from me? What is to be done about a violent society? What is to be done about a people who insist on going their own way? When all these things come down the road in the following year, what will your decision be? Will you go your own way as most of you do? Will you follow the uprisings, or will you seek me in the midst of these happenings?

The spirit of the power of the air would have you all think that the times are not getting close. He would deceive you in many ways. What are the signs of my coming? My word plainly states these things. 'The spirit expressly says that in the later days that people will depart from the truth. People will be seduced and will fall prey to seducing spirits. They will believe in a 'form' of religion but will deny the power thereof. They will be haters of good.

It is time to go into your chambers and seek me with your own hearts. It is time to seek me with a fervent heart. For I am the God that will walk with you down this road in the next year. But that road will not be an easy one, my people. You will have decisions to make. You will have oppositions to fight. You will have storms to weather. But I will lift you up in the midst of them. Your resources will run dry but I will supply all your needs.

I Am He who walked with Abraham. I AM He who walked with Joseph. I AM HE who walked with all the prophets. I still have wrought miracles. I can still send all your enemies to flight. I can still open doors that no one else can. I can still heal the blind and lift up the broken-hearted. I can cause the oil in your lamps to burn brightly in this hour. The oil and the bread will not run dry. What was given to the prophet will cause your supply to last. "

Stephen Hanson

"OUT OF THE ASHES I COME TO REKINDLE MY PEOPLE"

Dec. 16 evening, 2012
....and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.

Isaiah 61:3

(I was thinking about the recent tragedy in Newtown and asked the Lord if our land will ever be healed and He said,)

"Yes it will, but only as it comes out of the ashes. For my hand will rest upon the people who have grieved and lost loved ones in this tragedy. But what is to be done about a nation that has gone the way of Cain? What is to be done about a people who have not honored Me?

My word says that if you would humble yourselves and pray that I would heal your land. But out of grief and out of severe loss, is the only way that you will come to Me.

In the coming months more tragedies are on the horizon. For indeed, this is the time or sorrows. It is the time of sorrows that will hasten you into the trials that are to come.

For the world map and stage is set--The one who comes to promise peace to many is soon to come upon the scene. He will come to promise you relief from the trials that are to come. But it is a false peace that he promises. Woe to those who give in to his seal. Watch those nations who are soon to set the stage for nuclear armaments.

My people, I will never leave you nor forsake you. When the entire world is turned upside down; when all seems to be caving-in around you; it is then that I will come to be your mighty rescuer.

It is I that binds up the broken-hearted. It is I that can turn sorrow into joy. Out of the ashes I come to rekindle my people. And I will make my servants of fire."

"HOW WILL YOU SAVE A SICK SOCIETY FROM RUIN"?

Dec. 15, 2012

(We need true heroes in this hour. We need someone that our children can look up to. How can save our children from the violence that preys upon them and in our streets. Our Lord has the answer. Below this word is another one very similar to it, that I received a few years back. )

"These have been the times of sorrows. You have seen and experienced many sorrows this year. And I say to you that this has been that season.

How will your homes and schools be protected? How will you fortify the walls of a nation that has fallen? How do you save your innocents from slaughter? What has gone wrong, many of have said? How has this evil crept into our homes?

I tell you that there are no heroes in this hour. All of your heroes have fallen and are without merit. You are a disillusioned society.

So your sons and daughters are left to their own devices. They are left to acquire their own heroes; and what they find is not a hero but an illusion.

But I could be your hero. I could be the one that you look up to. Don't look to things that have held your attention in the past; for these things are dead and are of no merit. Come to the altar of my forgiveness. Come to that life-giving stream.

There are more violent acts to come. How will you quell them? How will you save a sick society from ruin? "

Stephen Hanson

"HE WHO HAS AN EAR LET HIM HEAR"

Dec. 10, 2012
16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ Matt. 11

The Lord says,

"I am shaking the earth and I am shaking my church.For the shaking must continue if the wine is to be pure. For sour grapes are all that I see now. The fruit is not visible. It is hidden, and yet it will come out when the time is ripe.

For years I have been waiting for my bride. I have been waiting for her to be dressed in my finest gowns , but lo, now is the time for sackcloth. Now is the time for repentance. The hour is late and yet your lamps are not filled with oil yet. If I came right now you wouldn't be ready or prepared.

For you have hidden your heads in the sand. Your vision is obscured. Your insight has become darkened. When will you return? When will you come back to me, my bride? For you are much like Hosea's wife. You are an unfaithful harlot. And yet I still love you.

How will you prepare for the days ahead? Will you hoard up your wealth? Will you stockpile your food and ammunition? Or will you return to me? For my ways are simple. They are understood by the smallest child. But no, you would rather analyze everything. You would rather debate these things to infinitum.

I am separating many of you in this hour. I am leading many of you out to desert places. I am gathering some and I am loosing others. For it is a time for new directions. It is time for the army to disperse. Some will go to the hills. Others will establish their camps. For in due time cities of refuge will be needed for those to run to.

Pay attention. Give your ear to my spirit. He who has an ear let him hear. Thus would say the spirit of the Lord."

Stephen Hanson

"THE YEAR 2013

Dec. 4, 2012

Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. 10 It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them. 11 It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the Lord; it took away the daily sacrifice from the Lord, and his sanctuary was thrown down. 12 Because of rebellion, the Lord’s people[a] and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground. Daniel 8

"The year 2013 will be a year marked by trials and problems from all corners of the globe. For the road ahead will not be an easy one but know this, 'I will never leave you or forsake you.' For whilst the major countries continue to battle and the economy reaches a pivotal point, the man doomed for perdition will enact an agreement. He will promise peace, but peace is far from his heart.

For he will come out of that country bent on world dominion. Do not look for one dressed in the usual garb of man. Do not look for one coming out of America. Do not assume, nor think that you know the man. Do not judge by the 'appearance' of man, and do not lean unto your own understanding.

For this era will drift into the next one. This time frame will blend into the next one. For when things are at their most difficulty, then he will come upon the scene. "

Stephen Hanson

"THESE ARE THE DAYS"

Dec. 3, 2012

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; Matt. 24

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. I Peter I.


"These are the days that many have looked into. These are the days that the prophets of old inquired about. These are the days of sorrow mixed with judgment.For as in the days of Noah people were going to-and-fro searching. They were giving in marriage, they were looking for answers. They were partying. They were eating and drinking. Such are the days that you are living in now.

For these are the days. There will be none like them again. For throughout history time has been hastening towards these days. Many thought that the days were very close during the times of the reformation. Many thought that the times were very close during the days of 1,000 A.D, but my prophetic time table had not been completed at that time. The land of Israel had not become a nation yet. Wars and rumors of wars had not reached their fulfillment yet. False Christs had not come upon the scene yet. '

There are times and seasons that I have appointed. There were times and seasons appointed during the Middle Ages. There were times and seasons appointed during the last several hundred years. There were times and seasons when World War II happened.

Many have now wondered about the days that we are now living in. Some surmise and some do not know. All look forward to the day when I will return. But many do not know me now. If you would know me now then you would be ready. As it is, some will be taken by surprise. Many do not know how close we truly are. Even amongst many believers, the thought is that times have always been like this, and yet some look for a sign.

Why must you look for a sign when all around you everything is racing towards that day? Why must you quibble about tribulation? I tell you that in the following year it will be plain to all.

Get your house in order. For truly, these are the days that many have looked into."

Stephen Hanson

"IT IS TIME THAT MANY OF YOU CROSS THE RIVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE"

Dec. 1, 2012

14 So it came about when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest, 16 that the waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho. 17 And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan. Joshua (3:14–17)

(The Israelites were told to cross the river at a certain point by Joshua. They were able to cross safely with the ark as even the priests' feet stood upon dry land in the middle of the river. We are given dry land to stand up also, as we begin our journey across our own rivers; we will be given "safe harbor.")

"This is the time to stand firm in your faith. This is the time to not look backwards. For it is time that many of you cross the river unto the other side. For with the dangers of the dark days ahead, you must find yourself in safe habitation. For there will be a way provided for you. There will be provision and there will be safe harbor.

For with the new year comes very difficult days. For some cities will lose their power. The national grid will lose its power. Rogue companies will come; for computer viruses will cause the network to fail.

For these days are marked out in my prophetic time table. The stalemate in Washington will bring about more challenges. The world's economy will fail. Do not put your faith in riches for they will always fail you.

So, continue to cross the river unto the other side. You will find safe harbor in me."

"THESE ARE THE DAYS OF AWAKENING"

Nov. 26, 2012

Ephesians 5:14 14for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

"These are the days of awakening. Because the sleeper has awakened. For those who have awakened, have awakened to the days that they are living in. For now they know that they must be ready. For now is not the time for slumber.The dream is over; the dream of the fantasy that many of you have been living in.

For the enemy would have you believe that life will go on as it always has. The sleeper has arisen to a new hope in me.For when you awaken, you awaken to all that I have for you "in me." The sounds of awakening can be seen and heard throughout the land. They can be seen in an awakened heart. For when one is awakened, then the stirring causes my spirit to flow and to burst out from the inside.

But those who slumber---those who sleep---are numb to those things of my spirit. My spirit will cause those dead things to be called forth that have been hidden in this hour. For the dumb shall speak---the blind shall see, and those who have been chained in the darkness will suddenly come forth. For this is the time of deliverance. This is the time of light exposing the darkness. My sons of glory will shine like the noon day sun. The shakels will fall, and the enemy's camp will be ravaged. "

"WATCH OUT FOR THE DOGS"

Nov. 26, 2012
Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. Phil. 3:2

The Lord told me:

"Tell the people to watch out for the dogs; those who bite and claw at one another.Watch out for those who would hurt the faith 'in you.' For there are many who do not believe in the message of the kingdom. For they would rather believe a lie concerning creation and how the world came into existence.

But it should be plain to all that the world came into existence by my hand. For even through all the great scientific discoveries, man has not grown in wisdom. But in time they will look upon him whom they have pierced. For that day is approaching rapidly. The earth will quake and the seas will rise again. Darkness will cover the entire earth.

Consider the olive branch and when its leaves begin to bud. For the political unrest in the Middle East should be sign unto you. For violence will continue there. Watch as cities around the globe are marked by devastating catastrophes. My arm has been stretched out in judgment. For as the seas rise and the waves come in and out, so there is a lull at times with these things.

For all nature looks forward to that day when the sons of glory will be revealed. For even in the midst of great darkness my sons will arise. "

Stephen Hanson

"A COUNTRY AND LAND SPLIT"

Nov. 14, 2012

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? I Cor. 1:13

"This election has brought out many things in people...It has shown where people's hearts truly are. What some think is right is truly wrong. For truly, you would know a tree by its fruits. When you are so quick to judge one, what is the fruit that you have within yourself?

The boat is rocking; the ship of America is shifting back and forth. For in these days a great dissent is happening. For your entire nation will be reduced to a number of states. For truly, the nation will be split across the country...The entire nation will be in revolt, but how will they lead, and how will they govern a people who have been split into so many factions?

The nation will be divided in so many ways. Civil unrest will be the norm. Military factions will be spread across the land. Violence will erupt in the streets. You will see fires and explosions break-out in such cities as Chicago. Phoenix, Arizona will have chaos and dissent. Woe to those who put their faith in guns and armory. Woe to those who sit in high places .For you once thought you were the land of the free and the home of the brave. And when all these things are happening; when the dissent has reached its highest, then your land will come under attack.

But I have been preparing a people for this very hour. They have not listened to the voices of dissent. They have not given into anger and hatred. But instead, they have clothed themselves with my spirit. For the land will be changed forever. But look forward to the new kingdom. Look towards those walls that have the names of my original twelve tribes. Thus would say the spirit of the Lord."

"YOU ARE A NATION OF HYPOCRITES!"

Nov. 12, 2012

6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:8 “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Matt. 15:6-8

(Again, I find myself posting a word from the Lord that I know will not be popular and that some will not receive it. I ask you then to search your hearts and let God speak to you about this. I'm not going to share words from the Father to please man but to speak what He has given to me.)

"I tell you that many have formed certain opinions and concepts about Obama. He is not the evil man that some have painted him out to be----it is popular to believe that he is an evil man.

Was Truman nominated because he was popular? He serves to help bring this nation down the road to judgment. He is not the one who is evil, but many in this land are. I tell you that I AM working on his heart. I tell you that I will cause him to see some of the errors that he has made. I tell you that the corruption runs deep, and a lot of it lies with the Republican party. For prejudice and deceit have come to the forefront there.

Do you not know, or do you not remember, that you once were a divided nation before? And I caused the man of Lincoln to help unify the nation again? Once again it is divided. And you would say, because someone cares for the poor and needy that they want everyone to be dependent upon your government. I tell you that many of you are a nation full of hypocrites! For you honor the wealthy, and lobby for tax breaks to high wage earners. And because of these things, this nation will be ravaged. The earth will rumble and roar. It will crack open, and it will split open right down the middle."

"TRULY AS I HAVE SAID TO YOU"

Nov. 10, 2012

3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions 5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. I Tim. 6:3-5

9 But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and arguments and quarrels about the law, because these are unprofitable and useless. 10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn them a second time. After that, have nothing to do with them. Titus 3:8-10

"What is there to do about a nation that has turned its heart away from me? What is there to do about a people who continually bicker? For you act like babies in a playpen.

You have disputes about so many things. You want this and you want that. You prefer one man over another. Why have you not sought me first? Why do you seek the favor of man instead of seeking my face? Now that your election is over. Now that people are displaced upon the east coast, will you still find things to argue about? Can you not care for the widow? Can you not take in the wayward? For truly I say to you, much of the church is in a state of denial. You don't know that your nation is about to go off a cliff. And yet those who do, think that many of the conspiracies are true. Many think that you are about to be shipped off to FEMA camps. Many think that there are executive orders where these things would take action. Do you not think that I have control of things? Do you think that I as God would leave you and forsake you?

Truly as I have said, there are very difficult days ahead. Truly natural disasters will split major cities. Truly, at some point, your economy will entirely topple. But in spite of all these things, I will never leave you or forsake you. Truly, don't listen to some things. Truly, don't listen to those things that are far-fetched and untrue. Would that you would gain some discernment to know the difference.

Those who are wise will know the difference. "

"I WILL PRESIDE OVER MY CHAMBER"

Nov. 3, 2012

11 therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will treat you in accordance with the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them and I will make myself known among them when I judge you. Ezekiel 35:11

The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. Psalm 116:5

/ "This is the season. This is the season of new beginnings. It is not a time to look backwards. It is not a time to look backwards and see what worked in the past.This is a new season and a time to look forward to what I have in store for you. For even though the storms have come. Even though your country has been back-lashed by a great event. I will still bring comfort and aid to my people. For even though it may appear that there is no justice upon the earth, I will preside over my chamber.

For I am the only fair judge that would preside. Come into my chambers, would say the Lord. For I find many who are guilty there. For I see corruptions from all corners of your land. I see men lording their authority over women. I see men who think of themselves as lords and kings. I see greed at every corner of the earth. I see the pretense of humility where some would declare their great works of charity to the masses. I see masses of people who say evil is good and good is evil. I see one campaign fighting against another one and the hatred has come even unto your churches. But after this campaign is over, and all the ads and posters are put away, then the real in-fighting will begin.

For brother will hate brother, and your foes will be those of your own family. For you have put other gods before me. Would that you would come together as some have during the great hurricane. Would that it wouldn't take a great catastrophe for many to come to the aid of one another. Oh you America, are much like the nation of Israel. For she would follow after other gods. She would sacrifice on every hill. And the time came when I had to send her into captivity. And after many years she was given her freedom back.

I tell you that there are difficult days ahead. But I do also tell you, that I preside over the highest court in the land, and the verdict will not cause my innocent ones to be without home or shelter. Where many have sought greed, then they will reap the whirlwind. Where some have sought my kingdom and my face first, they will reap favor in the dark days ahead.

Know that I am the judge and I am in control. I set men and women in office. And my cause is to hold up the plight of the widow and to provide for her. I am shaking the heavens and the earth, for I would truly separate the goats from the sheep in this hour. "

"WILL YOU REBUILD WITH ME OR WITH DIVISION?"

Oct. 31, 2012

Isaiah 60:10 “Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve you. Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion.


(I was watching a recent news program that was documenting the latest reports about Hurricane Sandy. The Lord said to me, )

"These are some of the sorrows that I have been talking about."

Now with the aftermath of the hurricane, will life go on as it always has? As people rebuild after the rubble will they find faith in me?

What has happened to you oh America? What has caused you to lose faith in me? For your forefathers knew me well. But no, you would rather chase after fame and fortune; and when you are brought to a place like this now, would you seek me with your whole face? Will your divisions continue to run deeper and deeper, or will your love for one another cause you to rebuild? For even though you have experienced some of the wrath of my judgment I can turn the devastation into the means of you returning to me with your whole hearts.

I will settle the score as the United States ends this election. For a new season will be ushered in. The road and the pathway into the distance has many things upon it.

(I saw the Lord himself holding up the globe in his hands. The earth was being tossed back and forth in his hands.)

For the world as you know it will be shaken more and more. I have said once more that I would shake heaven and earth. For these are the days that many have looked into from the past. "

"SIGNS OF WHAT IS TO COME"

Oct 29, 2012

LK 21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. [26] Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. [27] At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

2TI 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. [2] People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, [4] treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- [5] having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

"Out of the west will come a wind that will blow. This wind will stir up many things. I tell you that there will be atmospheric things seen in the skies. For this earth is going to be going through birth pangs. What are those birth pangs? I tell you that they are signs of my returning Son. "

These are the signs that you would observe:

1. Drought in some areas of the United States.

2. More fires reaping havoc.

3. Tornadoes and high winds

4. Lightning storms

5. Buildings collapsing

6. An earthquake of great magnitude

7. Tidal waves upon the coastlines

"I tell you that the signs in the natural come first; then the spiritual comes afterwards. There will be an "unsettling" of many people. For many will look to other beliefs at this time. The ancient practices of other religions will become prevalent. For they think that they will have found their answers there. These are the signs that will follow. Lean unto the rock of your salvation. Deep dig and you will find your resources in Me. "

"THE HORSES ARE RACING TOWARDS THE FINISH LINE"

[ God’s Answer ] “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5

"They are on their horses racing towards the finish line. Many have bet on different horses during these times and it can always be a gamble to find the right one.

*(The Lord kept showing me the faces of Romney and then Obama, and then said, "Which horse is faster? Which horse is better?)

I tell you that the race will be over soon. Both candidates would have you believe that things will get better, but the time table has been set and the fury of my judgment is coming.

It is a race not to the swift or to the strong, but he who finishes the race first will win. Many have tried to keep this race from happening as it would.

But the real horse that will emerge will be a pale one. For on the horizon the horses are coming, and pale and war horse together will wreck havoc.

I have chosen certain men for this time frame. It is ordained that a certain man would carry your country through these difficult times. It is ordained that he would help bring judgment about. And your nation will be torn apart by all extremes.

The world's stage is set in motion. The characters are set to play out their roles. You stand upon the brink of these days. "

"SEEK TO BUILD THE WALL TOGETHER"

Oct, 20, 2012

"Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach" (Nehemiah 2:17). "Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work" (Nehemiah 2:18). I must also tell you that the grace of God also has been upon me to help you rebuild the walls in your life. "Let us rise up and build." However, you must also make a decision to be determined to rebuild.

/ "For many prophets are building their own kingdoms. Many have gone their own ways. Many have sought their own sanctuaries because of their own ministries. Many are lone rangers and don't want to be joined with others. Is not my house to be built upon many members? Have I not been building a house upon this earth with my Son being the Chief Cornerstone?

For in this hour I AM joining some to others so that there are no gaps in the wall. For when you are alone there are not stones that others bring to fill in those gaps.

Has it not always been so? Even in the temples and sanctuaries in the wilderness there was not just one but there was many. And now there has been a new thing seen upon the earth; it is that there is a great cathedral of certain prophets and ministers who build their own kingdoms. I tell you that because there are gaps in the walls, those walls, those kingdoms will fall to the ground.

Those of you who are prophets, seek the aid and vision of others that can help you in building these walls. And then your stones will come together to form a more perfect union."

Stephen Hanson

"THIS IS A SEASON OF MANY VOICES"

Oct. 19, 2012

16 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. 17 They keep saying to those who despise me,‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, ‘No harm will come to you. 18 But which of them has stood in the council of the Lord to see or to hear his word? Who has listened and heard his word? Jer. 23

"Why all the different voices speaking in this nation? Why do some prophets say this and others say that? I will tell you why...it is because some have truly trained their ears to hear me. Some go on presumptions. Some follow their opinions, and others speak what others 'want' to hear.

Those who truly speak for me hear the words and they speak them, not worrying what others may think. I tell you that even in this election time, there are many who are sharing things from their own thoughts and opinions. I say that even those who proclaim themselves as prophets, are saying, 'The Lord said this, or the Lord said that.' It was always this way, even when Israel had many of them. The kings would search out ones that would say favorable things to them. And yet there was always a Samuel. There was always a Nathan. They didn't care what the masses thought about them. They didn't care even if they were hated by all.

During this election season, why don't you go into your own prayer closets? Why don't you shut the door to all the others that you hear? For indeed, it is a season of many voices. It is a season of much drama. Go out to your own desert place. Set yourself up there apart from the masses, and see if I will not speak to you."

Stephen Hanson

"THE NEXT SEASON"

Oct. 12, 2012

"The next season will be a season of great calamity. For riots will break out into the streets. For these are the times that many believers will fight with one another. For the in-fighting will spread among many. For the political scene will bring about these things. The enemy has brought this about, but I will see you through this. For am I not the righteous King? Am I not the true Commander-in-Chief?

But calamity will fall. Even among your churches, brother will be against brother, and churches will split over these things. And then as you enter the new year, then expect more and more extremes with the environment and weather. For persecution will come against many. Your land will be taken over in the coming months and year. But know that I will take care of my own. I know ALL whom are mine. Do you suppose that I AM bringing peace this time? Do you not know that I AM coming back with a sword?

The White House will have riots upon its very steps. The in-fighting will spread to all corners of your nation. And yes, because of the "rift" in your relationships, the earth's crust will "split-open." Watch as China and Russia form a union. Watch as their pact solidifies things more and more. Watch as the other European nations fall one by one. Watch as their currency fails. Then when all these things come to a head the one doomed for perdition will come upon the scene. "

Stephen Hanson

"YOUR NATION IS TORN BETWEEN TWO EXTREMES"

Oct. 4, 2012

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. Hebrews 5:14

What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ." I Cor. 1:2

"This struggle between both candidates in the election is what will help bring about the split in the nation. For the separation goes beyond party lines; it goes into some basic distinctions which separate believers from one another.

And the split in the nation, the earthquakes that are coming, will come about as your nation is torn between two extremes. For while some would point to the nation of Israel and its allegiance to the United States, because of its land and boundaries, the real issue is the separation in the United States. For brother will hate brother as this political season comes to a close. Why cannot you look to Me rather than the candidates that you would vote for? Do you not think that this world and everything in it is without my sovereign will? No, you would rather bicker like children in a playpen! So when you battle against one another remember and note that what happens in the spiritual will give rise to the physical.

I have warned you repeatedly about the time frame that you are in. Perhaps you would rather me play on a flute and play a peaceful melody? Perhaps a song that would lull you to sleep would suit you better? You should be ready for strong meat but many of you are still on milk. "

"THE OLIVE TREE WILL BLOOM"

Oct. 2, 2012

32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matt. 24

(The spirit of the Lord showed me a vision of an olive tree that was beginning to bloom. I saw each leaf start to come and was fully showing forth its leaves on the tree.)

"I tell you that olive tree is coming into bloom. Those events mentioned in Matthew 24 are coming into stage very soon. It will be a dark and difficult time for many. And the nation Israel, my beloved nation, will be invaded. But I will fight for her and she will triumph over evil.

But the rest of the world stands upon a precipice. For the very earth will crack open in various places. The one spoken of for many years will finally come to California. Many lives will be lost in the debris. And the very country of the United States will break in half in its mid-section. Watch and wait for these things are soon to come in the coming time frame. For the leaves of the Olive Tree are mature and are ready to bloom. Watch as your nation's economy topples. Watch as your streets are filled with more and more riots. Watch as the rich become richer and the poor are begging on the streets.

Watch as false prophets come out of their dens. Watch as peace is no where to be found in the world. You have asked for a sign but it is plainly shown to you. For is it not the sign of Jonah?

But my people who are called by my name, will be fed by heaven's window. Even as I fed my people in the wilderness, so will I do so in the days ahead. But watch, as your churches are emptied. Watch as people are running to and fro for answers. Watch as the seas roar and the earth quakes. You better get your houses in order. You better build upon the rock instead of sand. Call upon my name and I will hear you. But don't think that I've turned back the hands of time to stop these things from coming. "

"WHERE DOES YOUR HELP COME FROM?"

Sept. 27, 2012

9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matt. 7

"Where does your help come from, my people? It comes from the Lord, God, Almighty. I AM He who made heaven and earth. For beyond hills and mountains, I come rescuing people from every nation, every tribe, and everyone, who would come unto me.

For I AM he who Abraham called out to. I AM the one that Issac prayed to. So when you call out to me, I will take that prayer, and I will hold it near to my breast, and I will answer it. For am I not a Father who cares about his own? Your earthly fathers care about you, and they as a father know what is good for their children. So, even more, I know my children more. I know of their weaknesses. I know of their failings. I know of their yearnings.

So, come unto me and I will lift you up. I will set your feet again upon solid ground. For even in these days that you are living in, even when there is great uncertainty on every side, I will make a way for you. You will walk across the Red Sea. The waves on every side will not overtake you. And you, even like the widow that gave of her grain and oil, I will replenish your supply. For the prophet was fed and the widow's supply did not run out.

For even in these days of shortages, even in these days of high unemployment, I will cause your supply to overflow. For those who have had ashes rather than joy, I tell you that you will be sustained in the journey. I tell you, that those of you who have been weary, your weary legs will be strengthened and you will continue the journey that is set out before you.

And those who have become rich in the eyes of this world, is it not I that have caused your hands to acquire these things? I own the cattle upon a thousand hills, and so, I can cause the wealth to be given unto the needy.

Seek the narrow path among the hills. Walk upon it. Surely you will then see that your time of visitation is marked out upon it. "

Stephen Hanson

"WHY DO THE NATIONS RAGE?

Sept. 20, 2012

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? Psalm 2:1

Ezekiel 38:1-6 The word of the Lord came to me; Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; prophesy against him and say: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army - your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops - the many nations with you.'

"Why do the nations rage? Why are they always so restless? They fight and claw and always want more than they have. I tell you that in the coming months and next few years, different lands will be parceled off. All will look towards the homeland. They will look towards that land that I have blessed and say, 'See, it is time for us to invade the holy land.' She will be hated above all nations. But I will fight for my people Israel. For even with the threat of nuclear holocaust and the impending unrest of all peoples in that area, I will protect her.

But the scourge of Syria will continue. That snake that rules the country there will be eventually overthrown.

Woe to those corrupt leaders who call evil good and good evil. But it is with Russia and China that you must be made aware of. For those forces when they are joined together, will have a strategic power that marks the end of the United States. And when you know and see these things happen, and all the world is in calamity, then the one doomed for perdition will make himself known. "

Stephen Hanson

"YOU WILL SPEAK TO THE HOSTS OF WICKEDNESS"

Sept. 17, evening, 2012

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph. 6:12

"I tell you that the enemy is pulling out all of his stops in this hour. He thinks that he can bring you down. He thinks that he can wear you down. But I tell you that you must stand up to him. If you speak to him in my name he must flee from you.

For those who share my word prophetically are a great danger to him, and because of this, he sends his arrows to them. He will try to upset you. He will try to turn your friends against you. He will try to pull all of his arsenal against you. But I tell you that my spirit within you is greater than him. The darkness has never understood the light. And my word spoken to him will send him back to his dungeons.

I tell you that the greater the word is that is spoken, then the greater backlash will come from the enemy. But then as my word becomes a part of you, you are strengthened all the more, and given greater insights into standing against the enemy of your souls.

For as many of you have stood out in the open in this hour, your feet will be grounded more and more. Your weapons will be sharpened and illuminated. You will gain more endurance for the road ahead. You will see around the corner where the enemy is hiding. Your communion with me will enable you to see into the enemy's camp, and even before the arrows come flying towards you, you will cast them down upon the ground.

And you will soar with me in the heavens. The winds of the foul spirits will not touch you. You will speak against the hosts of wickedness. And the feet of the enemy will be torn asunder back to his own domain."

Stephen Hanson
