In light of recent events , I have been reminded of a dream I had June 7, 2009. In the dream I saw the United States as a puzzle board, like the kind some of us had when we were kids where we would start with an empty board that had the outline of the United states. Our parents would help us put all the states on the puzzle board until we had the continental 48 states.
In this dream, I saw the United States in the form of a puzzle as mentioned above, I then saw states begin to disappear off of the puzzle board leaving a gap or space where the state had originally been which
leads me to believe that civil war may be coming to this country once
again.
Last year at the 4th of July celebrations, I had a distinct sense that this would be the last 4th that we would be celebrating as a United Nation.
Additionally, I have seen in a vision an angel with a drawn sword standing over the United States. My belief here is that this is a sword meant to bring division of the kind Jesus spoke of in Matthew 10:34-36 where He said ,
“ “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not
come to bring peace, but a sword.
“For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD”
We need to be praying for God’s mercy and grace in this hour like never before. We need to pray for our leaders that God would guide and direct them.

God's Grace is Suficient
Paul in 2Co 12:9 And He said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may overshadow me. There is no sin that can bind us because in our weakness and inability do deliver ourselves is Christ's g...race sufficient and His strengeth perfected. Rom 8:12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live. Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see"

Two Prophetic Words Given a While Ago
GEORGE WASHINGTON´S PROPHESY OF AMERICA
2008-07-28
The father of our country, George Washington, was a man of prayer. We have all read of how he went to the thicket many times to pray during the winter his army was at Valley Forge. However, little publicity has been given to the vision and prophecy he received at that time. The account of this vision was given in 1859 by an old soldier. He gave it to a writer, Wesley Bradshaw, who published it. In the vision God revealed to George Washington that three great perils would come upon the Republic. He was given to know that America was going through the first peril at that time. The old soldier who told the story of the vision said that the nation would soon see the account verified by the second peril descending upon the land. We give the account here as it was reprinted in the U. S. war veterans' paper The National Tribune, in December, 1880. The National Tribune is now called The Stars and Stripes. This article was reprinted in the Stars and Stripes December 21,1950. Here is the report of this phenomenal and most important heavenly message for us at this hour. Wesley Bradshaw wrote: The last time I ever saw Anthony Sherman was on the fourth of July 1859, in Independence Square. He was then ninety-nine years old, and becoming very feeble. But though so old, his dimming eyes rekindled as he gazed upon Independence Hall, which he came to visit once more.
MESSAGE DISCLOSED
"Let us go into the hall," he said. "I want to tell you of an incident of Washington's life-one which no one alive knows of except myself; and if you live, you will before long see it verified. Mark the prediction, you will see it verified." "From the opening of the Revolution we experienced all phases-of fortune, now good and now ill, one time victorious and another conquered. The darkest period we had, I think, was when Washington after several reverses, retreated to Valley Forge, where he resolved to pass the winter of 1777. Ah! I have often seen the tears coursing down our dear commander's care-worn cheeks, as he would be conversing with a confidential officer about the condition of his poor soldiers. You have doubtless heard the story of Washington's going to the thicket to pray. Well, it was not only true, but he used often to pray in secret for aid and comfort. And God brought us safely through the darkest days of tribulation." "One day, I remember it well, the chilly winds whistled through the leafless trees, though the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. He remained in his quarters nearly all the afternoon, alone. When he came out I noticed that his face was a shade paler than usual, and there seemed to be something on his mind of more than ordinary importance. Returning just after dusk, he dispatched an orderly to the quarters of an officer, who was presently in attendance. After a preliminary conversation of about half an hour, Washington, gazing upon his companion with that strange look of dignity which he alone could command, said to
the latter:
AN UNINVITED GUEST
"I do not know whether it is owing to the anxiety of my mind, or what, but this afternoon, as I was sitting at this table engaged in preparing a dispatch, something in the apartment seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I beheld standing opposite me a singularly beautiful being. So astonished was I, for I had given strict orders not to be disturbed that it was some moments before I found language to inquire the cause of the visit. A second, a third, and even a fourth time did I repeat my question, but received no answer from my mysterious visitor except a slight raising of the eyes." "By this time I felt strange sensations spreading through me. I would have risen but the riveted gaze of the being before me rendered volition impossible. I assayed once more to speak, but my tongue had become useless, as if paralyzed. A new influence, mysterious, potent, irresistible, took possession of me. All I could do was to gaze steadily, vacantly at my unknown visitor." "Gradually the surrounding atmosphere seemed to fill with sensations, and grew luminous. Everything about me seemed to rarefy, the mysterious visitor also becoming more airy and yet more distinct to my sight than before. I began to feel as one dying, or rather to experience the sensations, which I have sometimes imagined, accompany death. I did not think, I did not reason, I did not move. All were alike impossible. I was only conscious of gazing fixedly, vacantly at my companion."
FIRST GREAT PERIL
"Presently I heard a voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn,' while at the same time my visitor extended an arm eastward. I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a strange scene. Before me lay, spread out in one vast plain, all the countries of the world-Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific. 'Son of the Republic,' said the same mysterious voice as before, 'look and learn.' "At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing, or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand, while with his left he cast some over Europe. Immediately a cloud arose from these countries, and joined - in mid-ocean. For awhile it remained stationary, and then it moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
SECOND GREAT PERIL
"A second time the angel dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it out as before. The dark cloud was then drawn back to the ocean, in whose heaving billows it sank from view." "A third time I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' I cast my eyes upon America and beheld villages and towns and cities springing Up one after another until the whole land from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dotted with them. Again, I heard the mysterious voice say, 'Son of the Republic, the end of the century comes, look and learn." "And this time the dark shadowy angel turned his face southward. From Africa I saw an ill-omened specter approach our land. It flitted slowly and heavily over every town and city of the latter. The inhabitants presently set themselves in battle array against each other.
As I continued looking I saw a bright angel on whose brow rested a crown of light, on which was traced the word 'UNION.' He was bearing the American flag. He placed the flag between the divided nation and said, 'Remember, you are brethren.' "Instantly the inhabitants, casting down their weapons, became friends once more and united around the National Standard." "Again I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic look and learn.' At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa.
THIRD AND MOST FEARFUL PERIL
"Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene. From each of these continents arose thick black clouds that were soon joined into one. And throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men. These men, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America, which country was enveloped in the volume of cloud. And I dimly saw these vast armies devastate the whole country and ~ the villages, towns and cities which I had seen springing up." "As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of the swords, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I again heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn." Where the voice had ceased, the dark shadowy angel placed his trumpet once more to his mouth, and blew a long and fearful blast."
HEAVEN INTERVENES
"Instantly a light as of a thousand suns shone down from above me, and pierced and broke into fragments the dark cloud which enveloped America. At the same moment the angel upon whose head still shown the word UNION, and who bore our national flag in one hand, and a sword in the other, descended from the heavens attended by, legions of white spirits. These immediately joined the inhabitants of America, who I perceived were well-nigh overcome, but who immediately taking courage again, closed up their broken ranks and renewed the battle." "Again, amid the fearful noise of the conflict I heard the mysterious voice saying, 'Son of the Republic, look and learn.' As the voice ceased the shadowy angel for the last time dipped water from the ocean and sprinkled it upon America. Instantly the dark cloud rolled back, together with the armies it had brought, leaving the inhabitants of the land victorious."
"Then once more, I beheld the villages, towns and cities springing up where I had seen them before, while the bright angel, planting the azure standard he had brought in the midst of them, cried with the loud voice: "While the stars remain, and the heaven send down dew upon the earth, so long shall the UNION last." And taking from his brow the crown on which blazoned the word 'UNION,' he placed it upon the Standard while the people, kneeling down, said 'Amen."
THE INTERPRETATION
The scene instantly began to fade and dissolve, and I, at last saw nothing but the rising, curling vapor I at first beheld. This also disappeared, and I found myself once more gazing upon the mysterious visitor, who, in the same voice I had heard before, said, 'Son of the Republic, what you have seen is thus interpreted; Three great perils will come upon the Republic. The most fearful for her is the third. But the whole world united shall not prevail against her. Let every child of the Republic learn to live for his God, his land, and UNION" With these words the vision vanished, and I started from my seat and felt that I had seen a vision wherein had been shown me the birth, the progress, and the destiny of the United States.'"
'Such, my friends," the venerable narrator concluded, were the words I heard from Washington's own lips, and America will do well to profit by them."

MY VISION OF THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
by A. A. Allen.
As God said through the prophet Joel, "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sonsand your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, youryoung men shall see visions." So today, as we approach the end of the age and the time of the Lord's return, God is speaking through His people with dreams and visions. The following vision was received by Evangelist A.A. Allen on July 4, 1954.
As I stood atop the Empire State Building, I could see the Statue of
Liberty, illuminating the gateway to the new world. Here, spread
before me like an animated map, is an area sixty or eighty miles in
diameter. I was amazed that the Spirit of the Lord should so move me,
there atop the Empire State Building. Why should I feel such a surge
of His Spirit and power there?
Suddenly I heard the voice of the Lord. It was as clear and as
distinct as a voice could be. It seemed to come from the very midst of
the giant telescope. But when I looked at the telescope, I knew it
hadn't come from there, but directly from heaven. The voice said,
"The eyes of the lord run to and fro throughout the whole
earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart
is perfect toward Him. Herein you have done foolishly.
Therefore, from henceforth, you shall have wars."
Immediately when I heard the voice of God, I knew this was a
quotation of Scripture. But never before had a thing come to me so
forcibly by the power of the Spirit. The ticking of the telescope
stopped. The man before me had used up his dimes worth. As he stepped
away I knew that I was next. As I stepped to the telescope and
dropped in my dime, immediately the ticking started again. This
ticking was an automatic clock which would allow me to use the
telescope for a definitely limited time only.
As I swung the telescope to the North, suddenly the Spirit of God
came upon me in a way that I had never thought of before. Seemingly
in the spirit I was entirely caught away. I knew that the telescope
itself had nothing to do with the distance which I was suddenly
enabled to see, for I seemed to see things far beyond the range of the
telescope, even on a bright clear day. It was simply that God had
chosen this time to reveal these things to me, for as I looked through
the telescope, it was not Manhattan Island that I saw, but a far
larger view.
That morning, much of the view was impaired by fog. But suddenly as
the Spirit of the Lord came upon me the fog seemed to clear, until it
seemed that I could see for thousands of miles.
But that which I was looking upon was not Manhattan island, it was
all of the North American Continent spread out before me as a map is
spread upon a table, it was not the East River and the Hudson River
that I saw on either side, but the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
And instead of the Statue of Liberty standing there in the bay on her
small island I saw her standing far out in the Gulf of Mexico. She was
between me and the United States.
I suddenly realized that the telescope had nothing to do with what I
was seeing, but that it was a vision coming directly from God. And to
prove this to myself I took my eyes away from the telescope, so that I
was no longer looking through the lens, but the same scene remained
before me.
There, clear and distinct, lay all the North American Continent, with
all it's great cities. To the North lay the Great Lakes. Far to the
Northeast was New York City. I could see Seattle and Portland far to
the Northwest. Down the West Coast, there were San Francisco and Los
Angeles. Closer in the foreground, there lay New Orleans, at the
center of the Gulf Coast area. I could see the great towering ranges
of the Rocky Mountains, and trace with my eye the Continental Divide.
All this and more, I could see spread out before me as a great map
upon a table.
And as l looked, suddenly from the sky I saw a giant hand reach down.
That gigantic hand was reaching out toward the Statue of Liberty. In a
moment her gleaming torch was torn from her hand, and in it instead
was placed a cup. And I saw protruding from that great cup, a giant
sword, shining as if a great light had been turned upon its glistening
edge. Never before had I seen such a sharp, glistening, dangerous
sword. lt seemed to threaten all the world. As the great cup was
placed in the hand of the Statue of Liberty, I heard these words,
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Drink ye and be
drunken, spue and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword
which I will send" As I heard these words, I recognized
them as a quotation from Jeremiah 25:7.
I was amazed to hear the Statue of Liberty speak out in reply,
"I WILL NOT DRINK!" Then as the voice of the thunder, I
heard again the voice of the Lord, saying, "Thus saith the
Lord of Hosts, YE SHALL CERTAINLY
DRINK." (Jer.25:28) Then suddenly the giant hand forced the
cup to the lips of the Statue of Liberty, and she became powerless to
defend herself. The mighty hand of God forced her to drink every drop
from the cup. As she drank the bitter dregs, these were the words
that I heard, "Should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be
unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the
inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of Hosts."
(Jer.25:29) When the cup was withdrawn from the lips of the Statue of
Liberty, I noticed the sword was missing from the cup, which could
mean but one thing. THE CONTENTS OF THE CUP HAD BEEN COMPLETELY
CONSUMED! I knew that the sword merely typified war, death, and
destruction, which is no doubt on the way.
Then as one drunken on too much wine, I saw the Statue of Liberty
become unsteady on
her feet and begin to stagger, and to lose her balance. I saw her
splashing in the Gulf, trying to regain her balance. I saw her
stagger again and again, and fall to her knees. As I saw her
desperate attempts to regain her balance, and rise to her feet again,
my heart was moved as never before with compassion for her struggles.
But as she staggered there in the gulf, once again I heard these
words, "Ye shall drink and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no
more because of the sword that I shall send among you."
As I watched, I wondered if the Statue of Liberty would ever be able
to regain her feet - if she would ever stand again. And as I watched,
it seemed that with all her power she struggled to rise, and finally
staggered to her feet again, and stood there swaying drunkenly. I
felt sure that at any moment she would fall again - possibly never to
rise. I seemed overwhelmed with a desire to reach out my hand to keep
her head above water, for I knew that if she ever fell again she would
drown there in the Gulf.
"Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the
pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction
that wastes at noonday." Psalms 91:5,6.
Then as I watched, another amazing thing was taking place. Far to
the Northwest, just out over Alaska, a huge, black cloud was arising.
As it rose, it was as black as night. It seemed to be in the shape of
a man's head. As it continued to arise, I observed two light spots in
the black cloud. It rose further, and a gaping hole appeared. I
could see that the black cloud was taking the shape of a skull, for
now the huge, white, gaping mouth was plainly visible. Finally the
head was complete. Then the shoulders began to appear and on either
side long, black arms.,
It seemed that what I saw was the entire North American
Continent,
spread out like a map upon a table with this terrible skeleton-formed
cloud arising from behind the table. It rose steadily until the form
was visible down to the waist. At the waist, the skeleton seemed to
bend towards the United States, stretching forth a hand toward the
East and one toward the West - one toward New York and one toward
Seattle. As the awful form stretched forward, I could see that the
entire attention seemed to be focused upon the U.S., overlooking
Canada at least for the time being. As I saw the horrible black cloud
in the form of a skeleton bending towards America, bending from the
waist over, reaching down toward Chicago and out towards both coasts,
I knew it's one interest was to destroy the multitudes.
As I watched in horror, the great black cloud stopped just above
the great lakes region, and turned it's face towards New York City.
Then out of the horrible, great gaping mouth began to appear wisps of
white vapor which looked like smoke, as a cigarette smoker would blow
puffs of smoke from his mouth. These whitish vapors were being blown
toward New York City. The smoke began to spread, until it had covered
all the eastern part of the United States.
Then the skeleton turned to the West, and out of the horrible
mouth and nostrils came another great puff of white smoke. This time
it was blown in the direction of the West Coast. In a few moments
time, the entire West Coast and L.A. area was covered with it's vapors
Then towards the center came a third great puff. As I watched,
St. Louis and Kansas City were enveloped in its white vapors. Then on
it came towards New Orleans. Then on they swept until they reached
the Statue of Liberty where she stood staggering drunkenly in The blue
waters of The Gulf. As the white vapors began to spread around The
head of the statue, she took in but one gasping breath, and then began
to cough as though to rid her lungs of the horrible vapors she had
inhaled. One could readily discern by the coughing that those white
vapors had seared her lungs.
What were these white vapors? Could they signify bacteriological
warfare or nerve gas that could destroy multitudes of people in a few
moments time?
Then I heard the voice of God, as He spoke again: "Behold, the Lord
maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside
down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof,. And it
shall be, as with the people. so with The priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the buyer, so with the
seller, as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury
to him. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly
spoiled : for The Lord has spoken this word. The earth
mourneth and fadeth away, The world languisheth and fadeth away,
the haughty people of the earth do languish . The earth also is
defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have
transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant. Therefore has the curse devoured the
earth and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the
inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men are left."
(Isa.24:1-6)
As I watched, the coughing grew worse. It sounded like a person
was about to cough out his lungs. The Statue was moaning and
groaning. She was in mortal agony. The pain must have been terrific,
as again and again, she tried to clear her lungs of those horrible
white vapors. I watched her there in the Gulf, as she staggered,
clutching her lungs and her breast with her hands. Then she fell to
her knees. In a moment, she gave one final cough, and made a last
desperate effort to rise from her knees, and then fell face forward
into the waters of The Gulf and lay still as death. Tears ran down my
face as I realized that she was dead! Only The lapping of The waves,
splashing over her body, which was partly under the water, and partly
out of water, broke the silence.
"A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame
burneth;
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind
them, a desolate wilderness." Joel 2:3
Suddenly the silence was shattered by the screaming of sirens.
The sirens seemed to scream, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
Never before had I heard such shrill, screaming sirens. They
seemed
to be everywhere - to the North, South, the East and the West. There
seemed to be multitudes of sirens. And as I looked, I saw people
everywhere running. But it seemed none of them ran more than a few
paces, and then they fell. And even as I had seen the Statue
struggling to regain her poise and balance, and finally falling to die
on her face, I now saw millions of people falling in the streets, on
the sidewalks, struggling. I heard their screams for mercy and help.
I heard their horrible coughing as though their lungs had been seared
with fire. I heard the moanings and groanings of the doomed and the
dying. As I watched, a few finally reached shelters, and above the
moaning and groanings, I heard these words:
"A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth for the Lord has
a controversy with the nations. He will plead with all flesh; He
will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.
Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great
whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of The earth.
And The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of
the earth even onto the other end of the earth: they shall not
be lamented neither gathered nor buried; they shall be dung
upon the ground. (Jer. 25:31-33)
Then suddenly I saw from the Atlantic and from the Pacific, and
out of the Gulf, rocket-like objects that seemed to come up like fish
leaping out of the water . High into the air they leaped, each headed
in a different direction, but every one towards The U.S. On The
ground, the sirens screamed louder. And up from the ground I saw
similar rockets begin to ascend. To me, these appeared to be
interceptor rockets although they arose from different points all over
the U.S. However, none of them seemed to be successful in intercepting
the rockets that had risen from the ocean on every side. These
rockets finally reached their maximum height, slowly turned over, and
fell back toward the earth in defeat. Them suddenly, the rockets
which had leaped out of the ocean like fish all exploded at once. The
explosion was ear- splitting. The next thing which I saw was a huge
ball of fire. The only thing I have ever seen which resembled the
thing I saw in my vision was the picture of the explosion of the
H-bomb in the South Pacific. In my vision, it was so real I seemed to
fell a searing heat from it.
As the vision spread before my eyes, and I viewed the widespread
desolation brought about by the terrific explosions, I could not help
thinking, " While the defenders of our nation have quibbled over what
means of defense to use, and neglected the only true means of defense,
faith and dependence upon the true and living God, the thing which she
greatly feared has come unto her! How true it has proven that "Except
the Lord keep The city, The watchman watches but in vain."
Then as the noise of the battle subsided, to my ears cam this
quotation from Joel, the second chapter, "Blow ye the trumpet in
Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD
cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick
darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people
and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall
be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as
horsemen, so shall they run..." (Joel 2:4).
The Valley of Dry Bones
Here is a word once again using Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones. Tucson is surrounded by mountains on all sides hence it is in a valley. It is no coincidence , therefore, that the Lord placed "Hope" chapel in the valley.
Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, The valley is the place of death, discouragement and dispair.
Eze 37:2 And He caused me to pass round about among them, and behold, there were very many [human bones] in the open valley or plain (without a covering you will dry out ), and behold, they were very dry(beyond hope). (dry bones represent disjointed lives, people not connected. Here it is the Lord that made Ezekiel to "pass round about among them" , he caused him to take note of the dry bones. These "dry bones" pass by us every day but until the Lord causes us to take note of them we won't be able to do so.
The reason people come to the west is many times it is to escape. These "dry bones" are fleeing broken homes, divorce, abuse, hurt, molestation, some flee because of rebellion and some are fleeing the law, and some are fleeing their past. These "dry bones" do not want to be part of a community, because it was in community that they were hurt. These are the lone rangers ,the Marlboro Man, which by the way , is the attraction of the west,, the attitude being that they will pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get their life together by themselves, they don't need anybody. It is interesting to note, however, that Satan roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The Lion attacks the one who has strayed from the herd(family/community) because he knows that there is strength in numbers and the one that is alone is weak and easy prey. It also is worthy of note that in Genesis, from the very beginning, that the Lord said that, "it is not good that the man is alone" .
So how do we reach these people who don't necessarily want to be reached? Here is the answer:
Eze 37:3 And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, You know! [I Cor. 15:35.]
Eze 37:4 Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. [John 5:28.]
We must begin to declare the word of the Lord prophetically over the "dry bones" . In the book of Amos it says the following, "Amo 3:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? " The word of the Lord has been spoken so who can but prophesy .
Eze 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; (key phrase)and as I prophesied, there was a [thundering] noise and behold, a shaking and trembling and a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. Act
16:25 But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the [other] prisoners were listening to them,
Act 16:26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone's shackles were unfastened. This is mass deliverance. It is the Lord himself coming to set the captive free and that which is hindering the "bones" from coming together will be taken out of the way.
Eze 37:8 As I looked, I saw that ligaments(relationships, home churches) were on them, muscles(leadership) were on them, and skin covered them.(the church) Yet, there was no breath in them.
Eze 37:9 Then said He to me, Prophesy to the breath and spirit, son of man, and say to the breath and spirit, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath and spirit, and breathe upon these slain that they may live. Act 2:2 When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.
Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath and spirit came into [the bones], and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great host. [Rev. 11:11.]
Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath and spirit came into [the bones], and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great host. [Rev. 11:11.]
Act 3:19 Therefore repent and convert so that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.

The Prophetic Church
Rev 19:10 Then I fell prostrate at his feet to worship (to pay divine honors) to him, but he [restrained me] and said, Refrain! [You must not do that!] I am [only] another servant with you and your brethren who have [accepted and hold] the testimony borne by Jesus. Worship God! For the substance (essence) of the truth revealed by Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy [the vital breath, the inspiration of all inspired preaching and interpretation of the divine will and purpose, including both mine and yours].
Jesus is the incarnate word of God. It also says that Jesus is the spirit of all prophecy. Therefore, the Word of God from beginning to end is a prophetic declaration of the will and intentions of the Lord.
by His word God speaks into existence that which is not as though it were Rom 4:17 (as it has been written, "I have made you a father of many nations") --before God, whom he believed, who makes the dead live, and calls the things which do not exist as though they do exist.
By his word we are made alive: Joh 6:63 It is the Spirit that makes alive, the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit and are life.
By His Word we are made clean: Joh 15:3 Now you are clean through the Word which I have spoken to you.
By His Word abiding in us we are able to ask whatever we will and it shall be done so that we may bear much fruit and bring the Father Glory. Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you.
Joh 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.
Joh 15:8 In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, so you shall be My disciples.
By his word the worlds were created : Heb 1:2 [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].
By his Word the worlds are sustained: Heb 1:3 He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high,
By His Word the thoughts and intent of the human heart are exposed. Heb 4:12 For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
By His Word we overcome temptation : Mat 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God."
By His Word we have faith Rom 10:17 Then faith is of hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
By His word we have our sword: Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God,
By His Word we are Born Again: 1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever.
The Word of God is AWESOME, we must learn to use it prophetically . We must speak only what the Word says over a given situation a and not interject our fears and doubts. We must begin to speak it over ourselves, our families, our church, our city, our nation, our world. God introduces himself to us in Genesis as creator when light was needed, GOD spoke and said, "light be".
By His Word :Isa 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. God does not speak idle words, they are meant for a purpose hence the warning given by Jesus, the incarnate Word of God, about the words we speak.
Jesus warns us to be cautious of the words we speak : Mat 12:36 But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.
The church needs to prophecy instead of complain and mummer, both of which are sins. The Word must dwell in us : Col 3:16 Let the word [spoken by] Christ (the Messiah) have its home [in your hearts and minds] and dwell in you in [all its] richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom [in spiritual things, and as you sing] psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making melody to God with [His] grace in your hearts.
Oh what power is ours if we can grasp these truths about the Word of God!!!!!!!!!!!
A Dream About Church
I had a dream, in the dream, I saw a wooden coffin and inside the coffin, I saw a church with 2 very large pillars outside. I also saw the lid of the coffin resting on the the knuckles of 2 hands and the hands in turn were resting on the coffin like one would do just before nailing it shut. So, as you can imagine, there was very little light left in the coffin because of the lid of the coffin being almost on the coffin. Getting back to the church I saw inside the coffin, I saw thousands of people coming out of the church and jumping out of the coffin as fast as they could. However, there were 2 groups of people who refused to leave, in fact; they had their fists held in the air. These 2 groups were standing by the 2 very large pillars I had seen earlier in my dream. These pillars had names. The name of the first pillar was religion and the name of the second pillar was politics.
The interpretation as given by Pastor Guy :
A coffin is what you bury the dead in. The coffin in your dream is
religious tradition holding the church (the people in the church) in
captivity from following Jesus. The two large pillars outside are the
gods of the church. The hands belonging to the knuckles in which the
lid of the coffin rested on were the hands of the Lord holding the lid
from closing all the way till those who were going to leave this
traditional church made it out.
The hands which were resting on the coffin like they were about to
shut it was the hands of the spirit of anti christ who was shutting
out the light through lies and deception. This will be a time as the
parrabel in Matt 25 of the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten
virgins.
The foolish virgins will be those remaining in the coffin and refusing
to repent from their gods of religious politics and accept the life of
Christ. Those coming out of the coffin are those who recognize the end
is here and they came out from among them as God said to do in 2 Cor.
6:14-18. The door is about to shut and be sealed.
