Dear Joshua Family Subscribers:

Today, I am sending to you a very important message from Dutch Sheets, regarding the elections and the future of America. Please read this carefully and ponder what your responsibilities are as the Body of Christ, and as American citizens. And then, follow through with what the Lord would have you to do in regards to praying and fasting for our nation.

Then, make sure that each of you go to the polls to vote for the presidential candidate and other runners who would best uphold godly righteous values, and who would better represent the American people.

Please forward this entire Joshua AP Network Elist message to as many concerned and praying friends as you possibly can today, by sending it to those in your address book.

God’s righteousness can and will prevail in our nation, as long as the Body of Christ will walk in righteousness, and do the right thing, by making the right decisions in the days ahead.

Let’s join and bind our hearts together, so that we may see God’s will and transformation accomplished in our nation. When the Body of Christ will commit themselves to pray, fast, engage in spiritual warfare, and to do their part in making godly decisions, then we will see God’s righteousness prevail in our land. Then, and only then shall we see it. ~ L.D. Oxford

“CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF U.S.A.”

Dear Praying Friend,

In 2000, I wrote the 2nd most important letter of my life— a call to prayer for the elections of that year. I’m now writing what may be my most important letter. I knew the importance of those elections in 2000 was beyond any in my life up to that point and that the spiritual warfare surrounding them would be unlike anything any of us had ever seen.

That letter was read by millions of people and I believe millions of them responded by praying. I also believe the prayers turned the tide. You may question whether President Bush was the right choice; obviously, he has made some blunders in his tenure as president. But two of his decisions alone left no doubt he was God’s choice:

“ROBERTS AND ALITO”

These two Supreme Court Justices have proven critical in the process of breaking the hold of humanism, death and anti-God agendas that have ruled the Court for 50 years.

I assure you that more devastation—the shedding of innocent blood, immorality, decay of the family and an erosion of our godly heritage—has flowed into our nation through that institution than any other door in America. Many times more. The poison allowed into America through their decisions is beyond any of our abilities to articulate.

The reality in America is that you don’t need to control Congress or the White Hose to rule the nation. You only need 5 people – 5 out of 9 on the Supreme Court. And for decades those who disagree with just about everything you and I stand for have been in control!

In Bush’s two terms, the process of turning this around began with the appointments of Roberts and Alito. Now, we win some cases 5-4 and lose some 4-5. (We barely outlawed partial birth abortion. The vote of one judge saved thousands of babies from this horror.) We need one more conservative Justice for a consistent majority, then more to build a strong majority.

In Obama’s own words, “the next president will appoint at least one, perhaps two or more Supreme Court Justices.” He’s right. Almost certainly two or more older, liberal Justices are waiting until after the elections to retire, in hopes of Obama winning and appointing more liberals to replace them. And he certainly would.

He voted against the confirmation of Roberts and Alito. So did Biden. And Biden led the fight against Justice Thomas several years back, another of the 4 solid conservatives.

Make no mistake about it, the two of them do have a litmus test for Supreme Court Justices, and a major part of that test is Roe vs. Wade. McCain and Palin, on the other hand, both have very strong pro-life positions. This alone makes the choice for President simple.

To vote for the 2nd and 3rd most liberal senators (Obama and Biden), both of whom are firmly and blatantly pro-abortion, would be unconscionable.

Obama has actually said that if he wins, he would like his first action as president to be the signing of the Freedom of Choice Act, which would eliminate every other law against any aspect of abortion (partial birth abortion, parental notification, etc., etc.).

And with a democratic majority in the House and Senate, pretty much any legislation he and Biden want to pass will be a slam-dunk.

There are many other unrighteous positions they hold but this position alone makes the choice easy. If they win this election, it will set America back decades in the cause of life and the restoration we seek.

Just as many of you do, I too, want to see a first black President, but not Senator Obama. To allow that noble and godly desire, the economy or one’s position on the war to trump this issue of life and death for the innocent unborn is simply wrong.

The scriptures teach that if we choose first to exalt righteousness and turn from evil, God promises to heal our land (see Proverbs 14:34; 2 Chronicles 7:14).

It is righteousness that exalts a nation, not wealth, prosperity or armies. If we will finish the process of removing the curses of death and anti-God laws off of America by electing a president that will continue to shift the Court, God will grace us with breakthrough in other areas such as the economy, the war against terrorism, etc.

My faith is not in a person, and certainly not a political party, for the healing of America, but I know God’s word and His ways well enough to know that our decisions do move Him to action or inaction.

Now to the heart of my reason for writing this letter (I realize I am “preaching to the choir”— most of you who know or listen to me are conservative enough to vote for McCain and Palin.) I have not written any appeals for prayer concerning this election because:

 1) Others have, and

2) I believe our movement has matured to the point that the prayer base of the Church is already praying. But I now feel the need to raise my voice. I am appealing to you to pray for these elections the next two weeks like you’ve never prayed for any in the past. Faithfully. Passionately. Boldly. Ask God for His mercy and grace.

We deserve His judgment for removing His influence and authority from our government, schools, homes and businesses; for the killing of 50 million babies; for leading the world in the consumption and exporting of pornography; for passing laws to reject His; etc. But mercy triumphs over judgment and in His wrath He remembers mercy.

In 2000 we actually lost the popular vote and won the election— talk about grace! Please pray for this grace to be released again. But I am also asking you for something more than normal prayer. For those of you who understand spiritual warfare, I am asking you to also include this aspect of prayer.

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT WE HAVE ENTERED A DANIEL 10 MOMENT IN TIME:

“Then he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, I have come in response to your words.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia’” (Daniel 10: 12-13 NAS).

The spiritual warfare in this election is incredibly fierce, and just as it was in Daniel’s day, is all about the restoration of a nation. And also like Daniel, we must keep praying until we win the battle in the heavens.

In August of this year I predicted that September would mark a shift in momentum for these elections. This happened with the appointment of Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential nominee (who is a true Esther in our generation), but when the economy began its meltdown and the media ramped up their unprecedented attacks on Palin, that momentum wasn’t sustained.

But we can see it turn again if we approach this battle as the spiritual warfare it truly is and bind the evil forces involved (see Matthew 16:18-19).

The reality is that this election can be the breakthrough we need to fully shift the Court (and ultimately our nation) or it will be an immeasurable setback that could take many years to reverse—if ever.

“PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING: IF WE ENGAGE IN THIS BATTLE AND DO WHAT I AM ASKING – IN MASS – WE WILL WIN; IF WE DO NOT, WE WILL LOSE.”

I, for one, don’t intend to allow the latter. I am in Washington, D.C. now (October 20-22) with Lou Engle and a team of prayer leaders from around the nation to war for this election. Join us!

Lose some sleep, miss some meals—pray! Pray like never before for these elections. And as you do, involve yourself not only in petitioning prayer but also in spiritual warfare. Use your God-given authority over the plans and strategies of satan’s kingdom.

Bind all witchcraft that is working to control the outcome, including occultic powers that are suppressing truth. Release Christ’s Kingdom rule in every way the Holy Spirit leads you.

Don’t be deceived and don’t lose hope (if you have to, turn off the TV.) It is not too late to turn these elections. God is plenty powerful enough to do so.

The real question is will we rise to the level of prayer and spiritual warfare necessary to release that power. And remember, we don’t need a majority of Christians who are willing and able to do this—only a praying remnant. We can do it!

HERE ARE SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS TO CONSIDER:

1) Fast (a meal a day; a day a week; a Daniel fast; 3 days; 10 days; TV; etc.) and spend the time praying.

2)  Agree in prayer with someone everyday for God’s will to be done.

3)  Form/participate in prayer groups regularly. Churches could pray everyday.

4)  Take time in every gathering to pray. (Take 15 minutes in every service to pray for the elections. Turn an entire service to harp and bowl style intercession—worship and prayer combined.)

5)  Join 2 or more on a conference call and pray for 15, 20, or 30 minutes.

6)  Pray on the way to work (and on the way home).

7)  Pray before you go to sleep.

8)  Pray before church services.

9) Ask God to give you His strategy—He will!

 In His grip,

Dutch Sheets

PROPHETIC WORDS FROM WENDY ALEC: 

 

*THE EYE OF THE STORM – ELECTIONS – ECONOMIC COLLAPSE

 

*ANOTHER RELATED EXCERPT FROM — WWW.UNKNOWNPROPHET.COM
 

***
 

Dear Joshua Family Subscribers:

 

Tonight, I needed to share with you the most recent prophetic word that came in from Wendy Alec, along with another related excerpt from the “Journal Of The Unknown Prophet,” which is a prophetic book that Wendy wrote, then had published back a few years ago (in 2005).

 

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK:  It was back in Nov. of 1999 during a period of ten days, when Wendy Alec had a visitation from the Lord Jesus, where He warned of the things to come. He spoke of both Judgment and Mercy…. He spoke to her regarding the trading systems of the world, concerning Ministry leaders and the Body of Christ, (who is the Church.) During this on-going visitation Jesus wept.

 

Then, in two other experiences that Wendy had with the Lord in 2002, He spoke with deep anguish of the last day assignments that were to come against His elect. He warned of a great spiritual blindness that was coming …of the seductions of Jezebel, and a great falling away that would take place.

 

(Note: To learn more, you can find it in our Joshua AP Book Store located on the left menu of www.joshua-ap.net  ) 

 

Now, the second prophetic word (which is the excerpt from her book) relates to this most recent one, so I know that it will be an encouragement and blessing to many of you who would take the time to read through this with an open and receptive heart.
 

Ask the Lord to give you discernment with this and by all means test prophecy along-side with the scriptures, as much as you are able, with your given knowledge of the Word. Wendy is a seasoned and experienced prophet who has prophesied the Word of the Lord and has also shared her visions from the Lord through the media of God.TV.

 

Ask the Lord what He might be saying to you personally through these words that you are about to read, as they spoke and provided fresh insight to me in several ways while reading through them. If you would like to write in to share your own personal revelations from the Lord that relate to the prophetic words shared here tonight, please feel free to do so. Blessings, L.D. Oxford

“EYE OF THE STORM – ELECTIONS – ECONOMIC COLLAPSE”

~ By Wendy Alec

Resources: www.god.tv/
 

AND THE LORD SAID – “TELL MY PEOPLE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR. THINGS WILL GET ROUGH — THINGS WILL GET TURBULENT- BUT I WILL KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM.”
 

The Lord woke me up in the early hours of the morning the week before the bailout was passed – It was around four am in the morning and I kept hearing one sentence over and over again and that sentence was ‘EYE OF THE STORM – EYE OF THE STORM..,’ and then I started to hear Psalm 91 as well, and I said to the Lord :

 

“Father – Your people are very familiar with Psalm 91″, but I sensed this was DIFFERENT – there was such a specific and powerful rhema anointing on this Psalm concerning the current financial situation.

 

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty whose power no foe can withstand. You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night nor of the arrow, the evil plot slanders of the wicked.”

 

(or the NASDAQ OR THE DOW JONES THAT PLUMMETS by day.)
 

“A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you because you have made the LORD your refuge.”

 

And I sensed that the Lord was so deeply moved by the prayers and cries of His children regarding the current economic turmoil and I believe that He is talking to some of you right now and He’s saying:
 

“BELOVED CHILD – BELOVED SON – BELOVED DAUGHTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE ME – THE LORD – THE MOST HIGH – YOUR REFUGE AND YOUR DWELLING PLACE, I SHALL PROTECT YOU. BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR HEART – BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR LIFE – BECAUSE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME YOUR SUBSTANCE – YOUR SUBSTANCE SHALL BE PROTECTED IN THE EYE OF THE STORM. FOR I THE MOST HIGH AND LIVING GOD SHALL BY MY OWN RIGHT ARM PROTECT YOUR SUBSTANCE EVEN IN THE EYE OF THE STORM.”
 

And I remembered a prophecy the Lord had given me so many years ago in 1999 in the Journal of the Unknown Prophet, part of which had said:

 

“And so great terror shall strike at the heart of those who have ruled the nations by control and manipulation – by trade and by extortion – as they see their idols collapse before them. And so the great shaking and the judgments upon the Earth shall begin…

 

They exchange the worship of Me, the Living God, for that of stocks and shares and gold and bonds – for the worship of oil and armaments. They have exchanged their souls for that which cannot save them. For so it is that as their life expires, all they have amassed in the high places of the Earth, all their idols shall stand silent.”

 

And I knew with a great dread that part of what we were all experiencing in the tumult of the world economic shake up was actually the Lord’s JUDGEMENT on the trading systems of the world -

 

But at the very same time, I sensed His great mercies start to flow and His overwhelming compassions and fervency of His love for His own Household – for YOU His child. And it seemed to me that the Lord was saying a very different thing to His children.
 

AND HE SAID, “WENDY – I WANT YOU TO TELL MY PEOPLE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR. THINGS WILL GET ROUGH, THINGS WILL GET TURBULENT, BUT I WILL KEEP THEM SAFE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM. TELL MY PEOPLE – IT IS TIME TO FLY BY THE INSTRUMENTS, BY THE WEAPONS OF THEIR WARFARE.. IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO FLY BY FAITH, BY ENDURANCE, BY PERSERVERANCE. FOR THEM TO WALK IN THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT OF THE AGE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SET THEIR LOVE ON ME,” THE LORD SAID,, “BECAUSE THEY HAVE SET THEIR HEART ON ME, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SET THEIR SUBSTANCE ON ME, SURELY I WILL DELIVER THEM.”

 

AND THE FATHER SAID TO ME, “I AM MOVED – I AM GREATLY MOVED FOR MY PEOPLE AND BY THE PRAYERS OF MY PEOPLE AT THIS TIME.”

 

“I SAW BABYLON ABOVE WALL ST. AND I SAW A NOOSE THAT WAS AROUND THE NECKS OF THE BANKERS, MANY BANKERS, INSTITUTIONS IN THE CITY”
 

And then I saw the word ‘BABYLON’ and I saw Babylon above WALL STREET and THE FEDERAL RESERVE was there above Wall Street. Then I saw a noose that was around the necks of the bankers, many bankers, institutions in the city and in Wall Street and then I saw the spirit of Babylon just pull on that noose and it started to get so tight around that noose and then I saw Jesus.

 

Jesus Christ was there walking through Wall Street and He noted every Christian, every follower of His and there were many followers who were actually IN banks and institutions.
 

“I SAW A SPIDER’S WEB FROM WALL STREET TO WASHINGTON, DC TO THE CONGRESS UP TO THE WHITE HOUSE”
 

I saw believers there who were PRAYING and then I saw a spider’s web, a huge spider’s web, and I saw the spider’s web go from Wall Street and it went to Washington and it went through Congress and the Senate and then up to the White House.

 

And then I saw a very strange thing. I saw two huge FUEL LINES I did not understand (a day later I sensed strongly they represented OIL) and these two fuel lines came directly from Wall Street into the White House and into the Treasury, I saw the word ‘TREASURY’ in large black capitals.
 

“HIDDEN AGREEMENTS – HIDDEN COVENANTS – PRAY FOR TRUTH AND EXPOSURE OF DARKNESS”
 

And I felt that the Lord said there are HIDDEN AGREEMENTS – HIDDEN COVENANTS and I knew that the Lord said that we as believers need to pray at this time for TRUTH and to PRAY FOR EXPOSURE OF DARKNESS. That’s what the Lord said.

 

And He said that THERE IS GOING TO BE A SHIFT AND A SWAY – THERE’S GOING TO BE A GOD EXPOSURE OF PEOPLE’S ROLES THAT I BELIEVE WILL CONTINUE EVEN INTO THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.
 

“THE ELECTION – AN END TO SHOWMANSHIP – THE LORD IS CALLING FOR SOBERMINDEDNESS – HE IS CALLING FOR MEASURED WISDOM”
 

And then the Lord said He is calling now for TEMPERANCE – He is calling for SOBER MINDEDNESS – He is calling for MEASURED WISDOM – And then He started speaking about the ELECTION.

 

And about the SPIRIT ON THE MEDIA in this Election and I sensed the Lord’s grieving – that it was time for us as the Lord’s own to rise in prayer and bind the JEZEBELIC SPIRIT on the media and the BEGUILING SPIRITS and SPIRITS OF WITCHCRAFT that have been released – It’s a showman spirit on this election.
 

“THE LORD’S DISPLEASURE – DIVISIVE ATTACKS – AN OPPOSING SPIRIT TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD”
 

And I sensed the Lord’s displeasure with the divisiveness and attacks and devouring taking place between the parties in the Election – It was hard for Him to RELEASE HIS FULL BLESSING when the spirits operating over the parties in the Election were the opposing spirit to the KINGDOM OF GOD.

 

And I sensed the enemy’s pleasure over the divisiveness. I sensed many other things concerning the Election:
 

“DO NOT TAKE STOCK IN THE APPEARANCE OF A MAN OR WOMAN – CALL OUT MY JOSEPHS – I AM CALLING FOR MEASURED WISDOM – I AM CALLING FOR TEMPERANCE – I AM CALLING MY JOSEPHS.”
 

It was imperative that as the Body of Christ we were not praying our own agendas but the Agenda of the ONLY ONE WHO TRULY KNOWS AND READS ALL HEARTS – AND TO PRAY FOR THE FATHER’S WILL AND ONLY THE FATHER’S WILL TO BE ACHIEVED IN THE ELECTION.

 

No matter how much we feel we understand and know, we still see through a glass so darkly. And I heard the same words again – Temperance – Sobermindedness – Measured Wisdom. He said many other things, which I will share if the Lord releases me to do so in the weeks ahead but I am not led to share them at this time. However I sense with a great burden that the Lord is calling for His people to cover the Election with Heaven-directed prayer.
 

“TORNADO – EYE OF THE STORM PASSING OVER HOUSES”
 

And finally I saw this huge tornado and it was the financial situation upon the earth. And I saw it come and there was a whole city and it just went through the whole city and the city was devastated and I saw these houses that stayed and they were beautiful and they were completely intact. The eye of the storm passed over these houses but they were completely intact. Nothing was touched. Not their gardens or fences.

 

And the Father said for those of you who have loved Him
For those of you who have served HIM
For those of you who have set your heart on Him
 

And He kept saying, for those of you who have kept your substance on Him. He said the destroyer will pass over you because the Blood of the Lamb, the living Blood of the Lamb was over alof those houses which represent the people who have truly loved the Lord and their substance is set on the Lord. And it was like a canopy, the protection of the Lord that even as the eye of the storm passed across your life, your finances, your mortgages, passed across the banks -
 

The Lord promised THAT HE IS GOING TO KEEP YOU. THAT HE IS NOT GOING TO LET YOU DOWN, THAT HE WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU – THAT HE TRULY IS WITH YOU AND THAT YOU WILL SEE HIS PROVISION, YOU WILL SEE HIS LOVE AND THAT YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU HAVE INTACT IN HIS DAY.
 
“And a thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you.”
 

 

Only a spectator you will be.
 

***
 

ANOTHER EXCERPT FROM: www.unknownprophet.com  
 

This is another excerpt from Unknown Prophet written many years ago, but for all who have served the Lord faithfully with their substance, the Lord said:
 

“But for those who have been found faithful to My Father in the monetary matters of the earth, to those who have not set their heart upon the possessions and the riches that I have blessed them with, but have laid up their treasures in Heaven and have given of My substance to feed the poor and those of lesser fortune than themselves-

 

For those who have poured out My substance through the vehicles that I have raised up to preach the gospel in these end-times and have given of their generously and joyfully with a thankful heart – to these ones comes a multiplication, a multiplication not as in the past. For in the past it was a multiplication of five and of tens, but in this coming time, says the Lord, I shall multiply My substance supernaturally upon these ones that it shall be a hundred and a thousand-fold.

 

“And I shall yet open up unseen riches that until now have been hidden in the secret places of the Earth. And to these ones I shall pour out upon the gold of Ophir and the treasures of Solomon. I shall pour upon them the gold hidden deep under the earth and the oil, even the oil shall come into their hands.

 

These will not have to tremble when My Judgment falls for I shall keep their substance safe in the eye of the storm. For their substance is indeed My substance and their inheritance is My inheritance. For they are the proven ones, the ones whose treasure is fixed in Me.

 

“And so in these latter days you shall see them come forth as guiding lights rising from within the world system but rising from out of the world’s system. Yes they shall rise.

 

Watch now and see if they will not come forth. And through them My ministers shall be blessed, and shall do their exploits, and through their faithfulness in the hidden places so My Gospel shall yet be financed and shall be preached through all the nations of the Earth. So be it. Amen.”

IN THE MIDST OF THE SHAKING

“IN THE MIDST OF THE SHAKING, GOD HAS PREPARED AN INTERCESSORY THRUST!”

~ By Cindy Jacobs

Resources: www.generals.org

 

During a worship service at the end of January, the Lord spoke to me in a long, ringing voice, “Cindy Jacobs, the strongman over America doesn’t live in Washington D.C.- the strongman that really rules over this nation lives in New York City! Call together my people to pray for the economy.”

 

I knew then that the economy was going to crash without effective, fervent intercession. The Lord went on to speak to me with the words: “October 29th was Black Tuesday, the day the stock market crashed, and Satan wants to do it again!”

 

Shaken to the core I pondered what to do. I knew that I must call the people of God to converge in New York City the week of October 29, 2008 for an emergency prayer rally to cry out against economic collapse because the economy was going to shake!

 

During that week, we will have some of the finest apostolic prayer leaders from across the country will join together for several days of onsite prayer strikes at key locations throughout New York City, including Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, Federal Reserve, and United Nations.

 

We are then calling the body of believers from around the world to join us on October 31 and November 1 in Brooklyn, New York for Convergence ‘08 — an emergency prayer rally for immediate stabilization of our national and global markets.

 

October 31st is also Reformation Day in Germany. Some of you know that while Mike and I were in Germany on this day in 2007, as we stood before the Wittenberg Door where Martin Luther tacked the Ninety-Five Thesis, we had four separate dramatic visitations, each of which said it had been 490 years since the last reformation (Daniel 9) and we were to pray for a new reformation to begin.

 

This was fascinating to me as I had just spent two years of my life writing my new book, The Reformation Manifesto (Bethany) on the subject of how to not only be a reformer, but how to reform the arts, media, family, government, education, economic systems, etc.

 

The political parties within the United States and the United Nations are currently running on a platform of reform, as corruption is being exposed around the world and the citizens are shouting, “We are tired of being used!”

 

One leader in the U.S. said that it was because of the addiction to O.P.M. (other people’s money) that corruption has almost destroyed our economic systems.

 

I am calling you to come from the ends of the earth to pray to shift the economy. What do I mean by “shifting the economy?” Last January, at Chuck Pierce’ Starting the Year off Right conference, God gave a group of us a prophetic word that He was going to “shift the bull and the bear market to become a lion market” and then went on to say, “And I will have enough shares in this market.”

 

For too long we have known that we are to pray for our nations but we have not known how to see to it that the Lion of Judah ran the economies of nations. He is the Creator, and believe me, He knows how to heal nations!

 

The Lord has shown me that He wants to release a “corporate Joseph anointing” into the body of Christ in 2009 and 2010. If one looks at the history of the 1929 stock market crash, although many suffered, there were those that gained great wealth because they knew what to do in difficult times. This is the manifestation of the Issacar anointing that we are crying out to God for during this time of shaking. God is going to show us what to do.

 

Although the word I am going to give is a strong, dire one, think of it as a warning that is merciful. Judgment can be averted and a blessing left behind with economic systems changed in such a way that will eradicate systemic corruption so that we can eradicate systemic poverty.

 

For the Lord says, “I am answering your prayers and have begun the cleansing of Wall Street; exposing the wickedness and greed in high places. Pray now and I will begin to give the leaders of the nation wisdom on how to re-vamp and reverse the debtor system currently in place. This is a course correction.

 

If you do not pray at this time, you will miss your day of visitation and the economy will collapse, causing a ripple effect that will sweep the nations with a major tsunami wave. “

 

“This wave will begin to touch the ground, as even the harvests of the world will be affected. Food shortages, hyper-inflation, and other sorrows, especially affecting the poor will take place.”

 

“However,” I say, “if my people respond and fall on their face and cry out at this time with a mighty cry, I will hear them and heal their lands.”

 

“Hear, O nations of the earth! Respond with weeping and travail and pray for the stock markets and economic systems. Pray for your leaders as well for the earth is in the throes of a deep shaking at this moment for the systems of the earth must be reformed.”

 

“Do not despair and think that I cannot heal-that I will not hear your crying to Me from My throne in heaven. My ear is carefully listening for your sound so I will reverse the curse and bring a blessing upon your lands.”

 

This is no time for business as usual! As per Joel 2, it is time for the Bridegroom to come out of the chamber, and fight for the land. Join us on October 31-November 1, 2008 for Convergence ‘08 at Gateway City Church (267 Bay Ridge Avenue, Brooklyn NY). Together, let’s P.U.S.H– Pray Until Something Happens!

“THE COMING PERFECT STORM”

 

Joshua Apostolic Prophetic Network

Home Central

Joshua AP Network Books and Resources

 

***

 

Dear Joshua Family Subscribers:

 

Tonight, I am sending out to you, a prophetic article from John Paul Jackson of Streams ministries, which was first wrtten and published during the beginning of August 2008, and was re-published on September 19 (last month).

 

When John Paul first wrote the article, he was was not aware of the events that would transpire concerning the Todd Bentley situation in Lakeland, the hurricanes of the Gulf of Mexico, the train tragedy near Los Angeles, or the September Stock Market plummeting, along with other events that have brought a combination of troubles, confusion and crisis on national or global levels.

 

For those of you from other areas of the world, who may not entirely understand the definition of ‘a perfect storm’, i will explain it to you in simpler terms. In meteorology, a perfect storm is when different elements and conditions come together to produce major devastating results, (or a monster storm) such as happened in the fall of 1991.

 

The original ‘perfect storm,’ the book which became a movie was about a storm in the North Atlantic resulting from the merging together of three different weather systems which came to be known as the Halloween storm.

 

It produced record winds and waves for a certain area, sinking several vessels and making rescue nearly impossible. The “Andrea Gail” fishing vessel departed Gloucester, Mass. and headed for the fishing areas of the North Atlantic. A couple of weeks later, an event took place that had never happened before in documented history.

 

This perfect storm terminology has been used in national newspapers and media figuratively, to depict the elements and conditions that have been coming together to create the ‘perfect storm’ which includes economy, politics, religion, relating to national security/ war ….and also worsening global environmental conditions. Therefore, it is a combination of different elements leading to the perfect recipe for ‘potential chaos.’

 

In the article that you are about to read, John Paul shares prophetically of the five elements of the brewing ‘perfect storm’….Why is it coming?….What are some of the things that are coming?….and four things that the Body of Christ ‘must’ do.

“THE COMING PERFECT STORM”

~ by John Paul Jackson

 

Resources http://www.streamsministries.com/

 

For those of you who have followed this ministry, you have heard me say more than once during the past eight years that from 2009 or 2010, things will become very difficult.

 

I have been praying and hoping that what I am about to write may be averted. However, I am now concerned that without prophetic people speaking up, we will not play our redemptive part in bringing change for the good.

 

“FIVE ELEMENTS OF THE BREWING PERFECT STORM”

 

As in the movie The Perfect Storm, the storm I see coming to the United States is a combination of more than one element, and when the elements unite, the storm becomes exponentially more dangerous.

 

However, unlike the movie, this storm is not just a storm of merging weather patterns. This storm is worse; it involves five different elements: religion, politics, economics, war and geo-physical events.

 

At times these five elements will be so intertwined that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish which events are driving a particular manifestation of the storm. Massive problems in these five areas will come often, or in combination, and sometimes repeatedly.

 

Each element has potentially several events that will have national and international ripple effects. Some ripples will be worse than others, depending on where you live and how you make your living.

 

Different areas of the United States will experience different severities. Some will experience more economic elements, others more geo-physical elements; some will experience all elements. Remember, it is the combination and the rapidity that will make the storm problematic.

 

Also, this does not mean all five elements will hit at the most devastating levels. For example, on a scale of 1–10 with 10 being the worst, one element may strike at a six while another strikes at an eight.

 

It is the particular combinations of elements — the proximity of each element as well as the intensity of each element — that will make this storm so difficult and seem to last so long. This storm will not be short-lived; it will come in waves, one after another.

 

“WHY IS THE STORM COMING?”

 

This storm is coming because the Church (the Body of Christ) is no longer the backbone of this nation. From our inception, the Christian faith has been the plumb line of decisions made at all levels of life.

 

The Christian founding of this nation is what makes it different from every other nation, other than perhaps Israel. Other nations may have become Christian in their focus, but none were initially formed with Christianity as the core of its DNA.

 

The Church is to make known God’s manifold wisdom to the world and the powers of the air (Ephesians 2:2).

 

This demonstration to the heavens is not accomplished by speaking to those powers but through righteous living. How we live opens or closes doors for Satan to legally afflict us and even rule over us via leaders who do not know the ways of God.

 

From Adam and Eve through today, the actions of humankind have given room for the enemy to strike and attack us. The only legal way the enemy has access to us is when the hand of God lifts from us, resulting in a space between Him and us. This space increases as we distance ourselves from Him and His ways.

 

Anytime there is an increased distance between God and humanity, it leaves room for attack to come and for principalities and powers of the air (rulers of darkness) to take up residence. The longer dark powers reside over an area, the more the people begin to call right wrong and wrong right.

 

Here in the United States, leaders arise from the people; in other words, as the people believe and think, so do the leaders who rise from their ranks. Eventually, the lines between right and wrong, as well as the holy and profane, become blurred.

 

The way to God through Jesus and the Cross is no longer seen as an absolute. In fact, absolutes become touted as “intolerance” first in the world and then even within the Church. Yes, there are exceptions to this thinking within the Church, but through compromise, the absolutes of Heaven and eternity are clearly evaporating.

 

“GOD CAN FASHION A DISASTER”

 

We are living in the days of Ezekiel and Jeremiah, who prophesied that God can bring disaster on a nation if that nation continually chooses to walk according to its own plans. God spoke this to Jeremiah:

 

“The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.

 

And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

 

“Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD:

 

“Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.”

 

And they said, “… We will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart.” — Jeremiah 18:7–12

 

“WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE COMING?”

 

What are some of the things/consequences that will come? In time, water will be more expensive than oil, and cities will evacuate thousands because there is not enough water to meet their needs.

 

(As Amos 4:7 says, “I made it rain on one city, I withheld rain from another city.”)

 

Earthquakes will strike not only coastal areas but devastate the Midwest as well. Israel will bomb Iran, and anti-Semitism will escalate as fuel costs soar.

 

A dirty bomb will explode in a coastal city. There will be thunderstorms with huge hail, 24 inches of rain in 24 hours, three feet of snow in six hours, record-setting tornadoes with winds of more than 350 miles per hour and tornadoes in unusual places.

 

There will be an unexpected blight that will hit various hybrid seed crops and weaken the yield. In addition, drought and devastation from storms will dramatically cut into various harvests and the national food storage will deplete.

 

“Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.”’” — Jeremiah 18:11

 

“FOUR THINGS THE CHURCH MUST DO”

 

First, the Church must return to knowing God and His ways rather than just knowing about God. We have replaced power with programs, revelation with administration and the Father’s heart with organizational skills.

 

Second, the Church must learn how to contend for the faith again. We are weak, and we fall away so easily when crisis is not at hand. We have not been tested, and we have lost our resolve. We understand little of the adversary’s plans. We do not know how to debate our faith without becoming angry, and thus we have so few strong, clear, godly voices in political arenas.

 

We have lost our witness — the witness that convicts others and strongly testifies that God is still God and is very, very real. We have lost the witness that demonstrates that God is a personal God in a very impersonal world, the witness that says, “What I do proves God exists.”

 

Third, the Church must return to the love of God’s Word and the belief that it is infallible and inerrant. This would include the conviction, understanding and knowledge that God is absolute, and there is only one way to know Him: through Jesus the Messiah.

 

We need a new revelation that God’s power is unlimited, His knowledge is unending, His presence is with us always and He never changes. We have made God far too small, and our lives prove it.

 

Fourth, we will need to declare sacred and solemn assemblies of repentance and corporate fasting in many parts of this nation — a time set aside for rending our hearts before God.

 

“Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments;

 

Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him — A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God?

 

Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD.” — Joel 2:12–17

 

“CRISIS IS THE FRUIT OF FOLLOWING THE WRONG GOD”

 

God allows calamities to happen in order to draw us to Himself. What does that mean? It means that God allows us to reap the fruit of that which we serve.

 

Walking in God’s ways brings blessings and fullness of life, while walking in the ways of the “god of this world” will bring the fruit of the god of this world: decay, destruction, deterioration and death. We make our choice, then the choice makes us. Sadly, we are developing a history of wrong choices.

 

Throughout Scripture, when crises hit the people of God, they turned their hearts to Him, and He heard and took action.

 

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. — Jeremiah 29:12–13

 

May the people of the United States seek the Lord … and find Him. Remember, we still have the promise that if we turn from our wicked ways, God will heal our land.
