November, 2005  

Greetings!  

Hurricane Wilma has come and gone now, and I believe that we have been given a very brief window of opportunity to repent for the sins of our nation. However, I don’t see or hear very much about that happening. In fact, in many cases, it is just the opposite.  

Take New Orleans as an example. The homosexuals stepped over the starving and the homeless to get to drier ground to have their sleazy Southern Decadence Festival. However, there were only a few hundred in attendance, as opposed to the thousands that would have been there, had it not been for the Hurricanes.  

As I write this newsletter to you now, they are in the midst of their annual Voo Doo Festival, and working diligently to be sure that they are able to have their infamous Mardi Gras in 2006.  Mayor Ray Nagin said that these events are exciting because they bring in millions of dollars to the city treasury. Never mind the sin that is flaunted in the Lord’s face every time!     

I thought it was quite interesting that Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma seemed to be targeting the very places that hold Gay Pride Festivals. I do believe with all my heart that New Orleans, Galveston, Cancun, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Key West have all been given a divine warning to repent. If they do not repent, and they continue to allow the sexual immorality and perversions to be flaunted publicly, I see nothing but absolute destruction in their future, for the Lord is saying, “Enough is enough!”    

Hurricane Ophelia worked on our beaches. She went all the way up the East Coast, slowly but surely destroying the beaches. When I asked what Ophelia was all about, the Lord said that Americans are only concerned about their comfort and pleasure. He said, “I have touched their vacation spots, and their beaches, the very places where they go for sun worship.” In the process, He said that He kept all of the weather forecasters guessing. And that He did, for none of them could figure out why Ophelia moved so slowly, and stayed right over the beaches.  Sooner or later, people will see God’s hand in all that has been   happening, and all that is yet to come. He will continue to break records! He will make Himself known!  

As you all know, Hurricane Katrina devastated the casinos in the Gulf Coast. The Lord was also targeting the gaming in that area. There is a plan underway right now to rebuild the casinos, and they are covered with insurance to do so. Nevertheless, President Bush has included in his economic package to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, a half billion dollars in tax credits for the casinos on the Gulf Coast. In other words, President Bush is taking a half billion dollars from tax payers, and giving it to the gambling industry. Rep. Frank Wolf is protesting the use of our tax dollars to help an industry that he said victimizes the Gulf Coast to the tune of five billion dollars a day. In short, the American people are being ripped off. Many of our representatives feel that it is a disgrace that President Bush would even get involved in this. They are trying to have it stripped from his economic package. Please pray about this!   

Alabama Senator Hank Erwin  

In the last newsletter, I shared that Senator Erwin had said on National Television that the reason why the Gulf Coast was suffering from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita was because God was judging sinful behavior in that area. I shared how many pastors, from various denominations, lambasted him for that statement.  

Many of us wrote to the Senator to encourage him to continue to speak God’s truth. Shortly afterwards we received a newsletter from the Senator. I’d like to share that letter with you all, because we need to thank God for this brother in government. We need to under-gird him in prayer.

“My Problem Is I Am Not Politically Correct!”  

“The recent flap over my comments on Hurricane Katrina can be traced to one cause – I am not politically correct. We currently live in a modern generation that demands tolerance and non-judgmental attitudes.  

“The liberal elites say all things are relative and there is no absolute truth. And how dare someone say anything is bad or sinful. Therein lies the problem with me, because I am not politically correct.”  

“You see, I believe the Bible!”  

“I believe it when it says God is real, holy, righteous and just, as well as loving, kind and merciful. I believe the Bible when it says men are sinful, and under judgment. I believe the Bible when it says the devil is real, and demons afflict mankind.  

“I believe the Bible when it says Jesus is God’s Son, who came from Heaven to save us from our sins. I believe the Bible when it says Jesus died on the cross, and rose from the dead to ascend back in to Heaven. 

“I believe the Bible when it says He is coming back to set up His Kingdom on the Earth for a thousand years. That belief system makes me a threat to the New World Order of mushy mellow thinking. 

“Enemies of the truth must try to crush politicians like me, because I will tell people to live out their faith in public. I will tell children to pray in school. I will tell them to proudly say the Pledge of Allegiance. 

“I will tell football teams and coaches to pray before football games, and demonstrate good sportsmanship on the field. I will tell children to salute the veterans, and say thanks for their sacrifices.  

“I will tell parents to stay loyal to their mates, and teach good manners to their children. I will tell young people to avoid sin like the plague, and go to church. I will tell communities to take care of their neighbors, and watch out for senior citizens.  

“I will tell criminals to repent and quit their crimes, or else expect long days in prison, or even the death penalty. I will tell gamblers to scram, and sexual predators to prepare for the bottomless pit.  And most of all, I will tell the enemies of the United States to expect shock and awe. These ideas are too strong for today’s jelly belly left wing flip flops, but it doesn’t bother me because I am not politically correct.”

“I am an American patriot, and proud of it! Nuff said!”    
 

“Let God Arise, and His Enemies Be Scattered!”  

How many times we have sung that song, and with gusto! As we have sung those words, over and over again, have we really understood that those words mean CHANGE?  RADICAL CHANGE!!!  

Radical change is coming to the Church, ready or not! The Church as we have known it will cease to exist! I must tell you that I feel such urgency in my spirit as I even begin to write about it. It is coming, and the Lord said that most Christians are not ready for it. When it comes, they will not know what has hit them! It will be that extreme! 

In the last month I have received phone calls from eight different brothers and sisters telling me that the Lord is taking them all the way back through Church History.  He is showing them how much of what we all have been taught is not even biblical. How much of it is man made traditions and doctrines. All of which has hindered the Church, keeping it from being what God needs it to be. He is showing them everything that is false, everything that is not of Him, so they will have understanding when He brings it all down. I just praise the Lord for all of His longsuffering, and the truth that He is bringing to His own.     

The Lord has been trying desperately to make His people aware that there are false teachers who have infiltrated the Body of Messiah. They are mixing a little bit of truth, with a whole lot of error. They are twisting the Scriptures to cause them to say what they need them to say, because they have an agenda of their very own.  They have deceived many! He said, “They do not operate under My authority!”  

He has also been speaking about the pastors who are so drunk with prosperity teaching that they can’t see what is coming.  They speak of a false peace and a false security. There are other pastors who do see what is coming, but refuse to speak it, because they don’t want to offend or loose anyone who might not want to hear. They fear man more than they fear God. They do not realize that they will be held accountable for not forewarning, and helping to prepare, the people entrusted to their care. He said, “I will spoil their pastures! My fierce anger will turn their peaceful meadows in to a wasteland!”  

He has warned the prophets time and time again, but few have heeded His warnings. He spoke of those who claim to speak for Him, yet He has given them no message, nor has He sent them. He said, “If they had listened to Me, they would have spoken My Words, and turned My people from their wicked ways. Does not My Word burn like fire? Is it not like a hammer that smashes rock to pieces? Many of them, to whom I have given a message, have watered down My Word, and made it of no effect! They are man pleasers! They do so to tickle the ears of those who are to hear the message.  This must stop!”  

 He went on to share that they are all too caught up in marketing their products. They are all too concerned about keeping their name out there, and building their own kingdoms. He said, “Do they think I do not see what they are doing? I see! I see!  I see what they are doing! It is all about money!”   

The Lord went on to say that He has only a Remnant, and He has been removing all links between His Remnant and Babylon. Their interest in the world, and the things of the world, has died! They will not hesitate to make a stand for Me, or My Word! They will walk in holy conviction of truth, moving only by the leading of My Spirit. They will preach repentance! They will preach the whole counsel of God! They will fast, pray, and teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, between the clean and the unclean. They will have no fear of man! Today, only My Remnant holds My Word as true! 

As I was pondering all of this, He spoke of His concern for those who are wandering aimlessly about. He said that severe persecution is coming to the Church, and He has repeatedly warned everyone, but they choose not to listen, or heed the warnings. They are very vulnerable, for they have not entered in to that intimate place with Him. He has called them to come apart with Him, but to no avail. Self is still on the throne! They still seek out man, instead of seeking out God. We must cry out for them.    

He reminded me of the many times, as I was going in to congregations to bring a hard Word, He would say to me, “Speak it clearly and distinctly! Some of them will hear you, and some will not.”  

There have been a couple of times in house meetings when the Lord would point out to me those who say, “Let’s go hear the prophet tell us what the Lord is saying.” He said that they come pretending to be sincere, and listening, but finding the prophet to be very entertaining. They hear what is spoken, but dismiss what they have heard after the meeting.  He said, “When all these terrible things happen, and they will happen, then they will know that a prophet has been among them.” By that time it could be too late!     

“Surely the Lord does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”  (Amos 3:7)

 Once again let me stress that the Lord does not share words of warning with us to instill fear, but that we might prepare and make ready, both for our physical needs and our spiritual needs.   

Think about what happened down in South Florida when they were hit by Hurricane Wilma. They had five days of continual warning that it was coming, and that they were going to be hit. The date of the storms arrival was even made known. Governor Bush repeatedly spoke on television, telling all of us to make sure we had plenty of drinking water, and non perishable food to last for at least a week. When the storm came in, it moved very quickly across the state, and would you believe that within just a couple of hours, people were all upset because food and water had not yet arrived.  

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! They had not heeded any of the warnings. The Lord knew what I was thinking, and He said to me, “The people look to their government as their provider. The government is not their provider, I AM is their provider! I made sure they were forewarned, but they did not listen.”  

Granted, there were probably some who were unable to get out and purchase what was needed to last them through the storm. But you can be sure that all of those who were out there in those long lines had no excuse. Many of them were simply looking for something because it was free. The Lord is using all of the hurricanes and natural disasters to set everything in motion which is coming our way. It is time to awaken from our complacency! It is time to seek the Lord so we are prepared!  We have all been warned! 

There are some who have awakened and are drawing close to the Lord, but the majority in the Church is complacent. They have seen so many natural disasters now, that they simply yawn at the news of another one, even though they come more frequently, and each one is more severe than the one before. Time is much shorter than most of us realize!  

Just as the Lord has repeatedly warned the Church that change is coming, He has warned America that judgment is coming. There are more terror attacks coming, and there are more natural disasters coming, and there will be no money or insurance to cover any of it. This will bring radical change to America.    

Prince Charles Coming to America!  

Prince Charles is coming to America on an eight day tour of the US. The Prince plans to meet with President Bush to plead Islam’s case. He will try to persuade both our President, and the American people, of the merits of Islam, because he thinks the US has been too intolerant of the Islamic religion since 9/11.  

The Prince has voiced private concerns over America’s “confrontational” approach to Muslim countries, and her failure to appreciate Islam’s strengths.  He also raised his concerns when he met with senior Muslims in London just a couple of months after the attack on the Twin Towers in New York.  At that time he said to them, “I find the language and rhetoric coming from America too confrontational.”  

Prince Charles wants Americans, including President Bush, to share his fondness for Islam. He said that his desire is to promote better relations between the faiths. In 1994 he said that when he became Supreme Governor of the Church of England, he would rather be “defender of faiths” then “defender of the faith”.  

This US Tour that the Prince and his wife are making needs to be well bathed in prayer, especially his meeting with President Bush. 

President Bush: “The Birth of Palestine Must Be Irreversible”  

Last week President Bush said that the birth of Palestine is already happening, and vowed that his administration will work to ensure the removal of the Jews from their biblical homeland is permanent. “We will work to lay the foundation so that the process of establishing a Palestinian Arab State in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza becomes irreversible.” This statement was made during a Press Conference with PLO chief Abbas.   

Secretary Rice Chastised Israel for Building on Its Own Land  

On October 19^th, Condi Rice chastised Israel for building on its own God given land, and threatened that US aid to Israel would be cut because of it. While it will be good when Israel is strong enough and mature enough not to have to depend on US aid, the time is not now, and the Secretary’s threats do not bode at all well with Israel, and the God of Israel.   

You see, our nation has a God given call to overshadow Israel until such time as she is grown and mature and ready to be the Light to the Nations God has called her to be. Christians have a God given call to stand with her, support her, and intercede for her. Let us pray that the American Church will awaken to the ungodly situation that we have forced upon Israel. Pray they will awaken, stand up and speak up on her behalf!     

The following day President Bush compromised his own anti-terrorism doctrine, which he holds to so strongly everywhere else in the world, by allowing terror groups Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and AL Aksa Martyr’s Brigade to run in the PA elections. Once again exhibiting a double standard where Israel is concerned.  We are placing Israel in a suicidal position, and we, as a nation, are beginning to reap exactly what we have sown. Pray that PM Sharon and President Bush will realize their sinful, and unbiblical policies. It is written that the Lord will bring destruction upon every nation who divides His Land (Israel). 

Questions?  

Each month I receive several emails and letters asking me pretty much the same questions. “Do Christians serve the same God as the Muslims?”  “Is our God the same as Allah?”  I don’t always have enough space to answer those questions, but this past week I received an email from Jacqueline Olson telling me that she has had four different Christians tell her that we do serve the same God as the Muslims. It’s time to make it clear once again that we Christians serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God of Israel. The Muslims serve a false moon god called Allah.  They are not one in the same! 

President Bush has so confused and literally deceived so many Americans by repeatedly saying that Christians and Muslims serve the same God. He also repeatedly tells us that Islam is a peaceful religion, when in truth it is a violent religion bent on the destruction of all non-Muslins, especially Christians and Jews.  

Many have written to ask me why someone does not speak with our President concerning the pressure and intimidation that he and Condi Rice are using against Israel in order to control that nation. Incidently Israel is a sovereign nation, but you would never know it the way the International Community harasses her.  

Please know that the Lord has sent prophet after prophet to speak with President Bush. He has received many, many letters, emails and even telegrams. He has received 22,000 petitions which spelled out the truth beautifully. He has been given numerous books, and plenty of literature sharing the truth concerning Israel’s God given land. A number of Congressmen have shared with him. I personally wrote to him and he acknowledged having received my letter, just as many others received words of acknowledgement for what they sent to him. He has been told the truth, and he has been shown the truth. Yes, he comes from a Replacement Theology background, but in light of all the truth that he has received, he has no excuse. The Lord has clearly stated to many of us that he has turned his back on the Lord, and sacrificed Israel for oil. The Lord made it clear to us that it is not because of a lack of intercession, for this president has received more prayer covering than any other in the history of our country. The problem is that he does not listen. The Lord is taking him through the fire right now, and I pray that it will bring him to repentance so that he will call our nation to repentance. That is what the Lord is waiting for. Genuine repentance!

 Simantov has just written from Jerusalem to share some really good news. Yesterday while he was in a worship meeting in Jerusalem, he heard some beautiful testimonies of God’s love and power at work in Jericho. The first testimony was that of two Arab men who were praying together, and Yeshua walked in to the room where they were praying. ….. The second testimony was of a mother and her five year old son. The boy was born deaf and dumb, but while receiving prayer, the little one who has never been able to hear or speak since birth, uttered his first word, “shuckron” (thank you in Arabic). Immediately it was evident that the young boy was totally healed and could both hear and speak for the first time. Simantov said that in the past few weeks, there has been a growing number of Muslims receiving the revelation of Yeshua as their only salvation. The Lord has been visiting many of them in dreams, visions, and physical manifestations of His Presence. Let us continue to pray for the salvation of both Jews and Arabs.
