[Revised August 29, 1998. See NOTE at end of document.]
While in prayer at the beginning of June, I sought the Lord for mental, emotional and physical rest from all the spiritual battles, trials, troubles, confusions, temptations and ongoing stresses that have been a way of life for me throughout much of my life. I pleaded for time off where I could just rest from encroaching weariness. After I finished my plea, I heard the Lord say in my spirit, "I am qualifying you for the times ahead." A sound of thunder instantly exploded in my spirit which finally opened my understanding. Then I understood that I have been going through a series of lifelong extensive boot camp training exercises since childhood—sometimes through many fires. They have prepared me for God’s use for His glory—a strengthened, a qualified and a willing vessel that will be available for use at His appointed time.
During the second week of June, I was interceding for America and crying out to God to spare this nation from total destruction for the sake of His Word and His glory. I kept in remembrance before Him all His servants who throughout America’s history have gone forth from these shores throughout the world to take God’s Light to nations dwelling in darkness, and to feed them the Bread of Life, God’s Word. I also kept in remembrance before Him, the many, many missionaries that have been martyred in foreign fields for the cause of the Lord Jesus Christ—His Word. And I continued to furthermore keep in remembrance before Him the God-fearing founding fathers who sacrificed their fortunes and lives for this nation, as well as their sons who in later generations also sacrificed their lives and shed their blood on foreign battlefields while also giving up their lives in the air and in the oceans throughout the world to preserve our religious liberty and heritage, our peace, and the freedom He so abundantly and graciously has blessed us with. I cried out and pleaded with Him to be merciful to America: "Have mercy, Father God, have mercy on America!"
What happened next was just like the loving and merciful Lord Jesus—still wanting to save more souls and desiring others to embrace Him as their Savior during a time of sorrow, woe and tragedy. I distinctly heard Him speak these following words in my spirit: "MY CHURCH WILL BE KEPT HERE TO PRESERVE THIS NATION DURING ITS JUDGMENT." Needless to say, I was stunned. I now bring His word to His Church in America. We will be kept here as salt throughout God’s judgment on this nation. "You are the salt of the earth." (Mat. 5:13—NKJV) If Jesus doesn’t keep His Church here throughout God’s judgment, I truly believe that this entire nation would be completely destroyed.
Not even Sodom and Gomorrah could have been as decadent and corrupt as America has become. Note that angels led Lot and his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah before total destruction struck. Jesus had no presence there, and no abominable and obscene vulgarities were spoken about or done against the Son of God at that time. Yet, observe what its final end was. The evil and corrupt climate was the same during Noah’s days—therefore, the flood. But God saved Noah and His family from the total destruction of the earth by a flood. (Genesis, Chaps. 6-9) This time, God’s judgment will be seasoned with grace because of His Son, Jesus. America will not be totally "destroyed," but severely "judged" through God’s wrath: "I will not destroy it for the sake of ten." (Gen. 18:32) I believe this will be in response to all the prayers of the Church in America that are currently going up before God’s throne in response to His admonition: "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chr. 7:14) "Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." (Jer. 29:12) Although some life and some land will be destroyed, America will survive. God is going to perform major surgery on this nation and deliver it from the evil cancer of rejecting God’s love and sovereignty—the cancer of sin, idolatry, murdering unborn babies, abominations and corruption. Perhaps America will repent and be healed. The Church of Jesus Christ will be His postsurgery "healing balm" for bringing God’s message of love, mercy, comfort and hope to a spiritually dying nation during its time of judgment and wrath. If surgery isn’t performed soon, then the soul of this nation will surely die. God personally nuked Sodom and Gomorrah directly from heaven with fire, as neither they nor the earth during Noah’s time had the Blood covering of His Son, Jesus.
Our continued focus has been on what the obvious is, while we have missed out on the deep spiritual reality on what has been—the longsuffering and enduring pain, blasphemy, and abominable offenses against God and His Son. They have carried much pain in their heart far too long, yet denying themselves because of the love and mercy in their compassionate heart for sinful and lost man. If this is not love for man at its zenith, what is? Sadly, to my recollection as a Born Again Christian, no strong unceasing focus has been placed on this naked reality: the endless pain and sorrow that pierces God’s heart because of man’s sin, his cursing Him, slandering His Word and rejecting Him as his Creator and Savior. We have been concerned with our longsuffering pain in our hearts, but what about God’s longsuffering pain in His heart which He has been enduring? He, too, has emotions! He may be God, but He also suffers pain! (How often I find myself asking the Father and/or the Lord as well as the Holy Spirit to forgive me for hurting and offending them! How often!!!) Therefore, what shall be the end of this nation as it continues to display its abominable, vulgar acts of obscenities with despicable words of profanity and behavior, while openly rejecting and blaspheming the Son of God as well as God Himself? How much longer can a nation shake its fist at God as it prances its rejection of Him, His holiness and His righteousness while decrying, "IN YOUR FACE, GOD!" How much longer? Be not deceived—patience has its limits. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach (rebuke—reprimand) to any people. (Pr. 14:34)
The only way God can spare this nation is to see the Blood of His Son covering the Church throughout the land. "For in My wrath I struck you but in My favor (grace) I have had mercy on you." (Isa. 60:10) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness ... (Rom. 1:18) "Now the blood shall be a sign for you (the Church) ... And when I see the blood, I will pass over you ... when I strike ...." (Ex. 12:13) This is a crucial and important point for every true Born Again Christian to remember: the Blood of the sacrificial Lamb—Jesus Christ, the Son of God—which He shed on the cross at Calvary when He died for the sins of the world, has not only cleansed us of all our sins, but the Blood of Jesus covers us, His Church, at all times! (Treasure Gem: Everyday, I acknowledge and recite that reality by verbally covering myself with the Blood of Jesus anew before my day starts and when I go to sleep. I continuously claim the Blood over myself—"I cover myself with the Blood of Jesus. Thank you, Jesus."—periodically throughout the day. I also cover my husband, families, etc. with the Blood, including personal concerns, the cat, our home and the car. I take NOTHING for granted, knowing who and what I am in Christ—redeemed and victorious, yet understanding what Satan is in the world—a liar and destructive.) Nonetheless, when God finally releases His wrath, it will be with a vengeful fury through His designated foreign agents. Without being or sounding insensitive to the loss of sacrificial lives during the Pearl Harbor attack, it will appear minuscule—firecrackers—in comparison to the launched nuclear missiles upon this nation, and their devastation of much life. A nation in love with fireworks shall see fireworks as never before.
Take a long hard look at what God is showing His prophets and what He is about to unleash upon America. Meditate on some of the scenes listed in the Visions, Dreams and Prophecies Index in "God’s Judgment on America - I" [http://www.do-you-love-me.org/wsomers/gjoa-1.html] and then take a long hard look at the decadent, immoral and spiritually corrupt climate of this nation. What do you see? How do you understand? Is the Creator of this earth justified in what He is about to do? But if our unrighteousness (evil works; sinfulness; immorality; wickedness; injustices) demonstrates the righteousness (holiness; moral right; absolute truth; just character) of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust who inflicts wrath? ... Certainly not! For then how will God judge the world? ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Rom. 3:5,6,23) Here is truth: God is a divine being—a moral force, and man is a sinner. Is the love of God for the world justified by keeping the Church here as a preservative upon America? God sacrificed His Son on the cross at Calvary to save—preserve—the world from eternal condemnation. Jesus will keep His Church here to preserve America from her total extinction through God’s wrath. "You are the salt of the earth." (Mat. 5:13) The Blood of Jesus will cover and protect—preserve—His Church during the judgment. ... having now been justified (absolved from sin) by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Rom. 5:9) Jesus already took God’s wrath upon Himself for six hours as He hung on the cross with nails through His wrists/hands and feet at Calvary, suffering excruciating pain and agony so that His redeemed—His precious Church—will never ever have to suffer God’s wrath. He also suffered all of God’s wrath for all those who will come to Him, confess that they have sinned against God, ask for His forgiven ess, embrace Him as their Savior, give Him their hearts and lives, and ask for cleansing of all their sins by His Blood.
America is more accountable to God than any other nation on earth because of her spiritual roots and her scriptual foundation. (In God I have put my trust.—Ps. 56:4,11) This is a nation founded on Almighty God’s Word—the Bible! I believe that her judgment is not connected to the Tribulation although it will probably initiate it once the world overcomes the frightening shock of her attack and loss of influence as the superpower in the world who championed defending peace, liberty and life at great cost. (What an irony! She is now LEGALLY championing the DESTRUCTION of the lives of helpless, innocent unborn and partial born babies, and "justifiably" hanging her dirty laundry out on her front lawn! Where is our nation’s Pledge of Allegiance of "liberty and justice for ALL" on behalf of these innocent unborn and partial born human beings? Where is the moral outrage?)
The Antichrist will arrive on the scene shortly thereafter to bring some kind of order to the world during the financial chaos that will follow America’s judgment—therefore, 666! How will the attack blend with another approaching world calamity, Y2K (Year 2000)? Could the Y2K factor affect missile launches? Perhaps the experts could address this issue, and explain how this approaching Y2K chaos could possibly, and perhaps soon, accelerate any intended attack upon America by Russia and China as depicted in the indexed dreams and visions in "God’s Judgment on America - I."
The Lord told Dumitru Duduman ("America Will Burn") that California, Las Vegas, New York and Florida are Sodom and Gomorrah. As God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire, so will He again destroy today’s comparable cesspools through nuclear strikes—with fire! (The tragedy is that many fine and decent law abiding citizens who do NOT know Jesus Christ as Savior will perish along with the wicked.) Financially speaking, California, New York and Florida probably have the highest concentration of Jewish population outside of Israel to whom Israel looks to for financial aid and support. With America attacked, invaded and crippled, this will leave Israel without a military and financial umbrella. Once God has personally dealt with America, He will then proceed to deal next with Israel. (Ezekiel, Chaps. 37-39)
Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church. (Mat. 16:18) Jesus will be with His Church throughout this whole conflict. "I will never leave you nor forsake (abandon) you." (Heb. 13:5) "Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." (Mat. 28:20) What is urgently needed now in the lives of each saint in the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth in America is deep heart searching in the presence of the Lord, with humble acknowledgment of hidden sin and repentance, as well as much intercession for families, the Church, and others. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ ... Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. (2 Cor. 5:18,20) Just as urgent is the need for each saint to immerse him or herself in the Word of God to be equipped for the times ahead. For starters: Psalm 51, the Books of John, Colossians, Romans, James, 1,2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, 1,2 Peter, 1,2 John and Psalm 91 are a good place to begin hiding in the Lord. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15—KJV) We, the Church, will be kept here to minister to the backslidden saints (Jesus will not abandon them) as well as to the lost—to be a strength and hope in the midst of calamity. Saints in America, GOD IS ON THE MOVE! The cry of "Jesus is coming—look busy!" should now give way to a new outcry: "Judgment is coming! Repent, and warn others!"
(An excellent witness aid of the coming judgment is an 8 1/2" x 11" tri-folded, double-sided printed flyer of Dumitru Duduman’s "Wake Up America!" with the "America Will Burn" revelation printed text. A chronology of five dates depicting the approximate time frame leading to the coming attack and invasion, and at what strategic border/coastal locations of America the invasion will take place, follows the message. Although the flyers are given out free, I ordered one hundred and sent in a contribution of $10.00 for printing, handling and postage expenses for the late Dumitru Duduman’s volunteer staff foundation. It is well worth it, and it is a great support when warning others. The flyer is provided by mail from HAND OF HELP, P. O. Box 550, Mineola, TX 75773, (903)569-6187. Writing down the website addresses of "God’s Judgment on America - I & II" on the flyer gives many the opportunity to log onto the Web and read for themselves all the compiled prophetic warnings posted, and quickly bring further contact with many others who have access to the Internet, who in turn will help to get the message out to others. Time is of essence and URGENT!)
"... ‘The righteousness of the righteous man
shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression; as for the wickedness
of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns
from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of
his righteousness in the day that he sins.’ When I say to the righteous
that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits
iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because
of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die." (Ezek. 33:6-9,11-13)
[See Acts 5:1-11 — Study vs. 4 & 11 Why the fear?] "The soul who
sins shall die." (Ezek. 18:4)
Your hands drip with the blood of the unborn innocent! Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. (Jer. 2:34) ... In the secret places he (the abortionist) murders the innocent; his eyes are secretly fixed on the helpless. ... So he crouches, he lies low, that the helpless may fall by his strength. He has said in his heart, "God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see it." (Ps. 10:8,10,11) REPENT! The fool has said in his heart "There is no God." They are corrupt (degenerate), and have done abominable iniquity; there is none who does good. God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. Every one of them has turned aside; they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one. (Ps. 53:1-3) "Turn, turn (repent, repent) from your evil ways!" (Ezek. 33:11) "And My name is blasphemed continually every day." (Isa. 52:5) "So I will make My holy name known ... and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord ..." (Ez. 39:7)
And so, the good times are rolling; prosperity abounds; the music is loud; the party is boisterous; golf clubs are swinging; abomination, corruption and decadence abound, and BABIES ARE BUTCHERED EVERY MINUTE as King William (who with his hand ON THE BIBLE took Oath of Office) has blatantly decreed, "Kill babies!" with a stroke of his pen, therefore defiantly declaring, "IN YOUR FACE, GOD!" against the sixth commandment of God in the Bible where He commands, "You shall not murder." (Ex. 20:13—NKJV; Mat. 19:18—KJV) Woe to those who call evil good and good evil ... (Isa. 5:20) Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is His reward. (Ps. 127:3) A baby is God’s decree that life is to go on. All souls belong to God, in and out of the womb! "Behold, all souls are Mine." (Ezek. 18:4) Nowhere in God’s Holy Word does He grant man the divine right to commit infanticide and destroy what belongs to God. ... for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. (Rom 12:19) With the mother’s consent, man uses his hands to hold butcher instruments with which to tear apart the limbs, head and torso of the innocent unborn baby while still alive in the womb, as well as suck out the brains of the partial-born baby as it emerges from the womb. But God, in His sovereign righteousness, shall hold His sword of wrath in His hand to execute judgment upon America because of her national sin and all her abominations. Contrary to popular opinion, God does have a few limitations, and one of them is that He cannot lie! (He also does not change!—Mal. 3:6) His Word is truth, and His truth condemns unrighteousness: evil works; sinfulness; murder; immorality; injustice; racism and wickedness. ... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ... (Rom. 3:23) "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts (higher) than your thoughts." (Isa. 55:8,9)
"I will utter My judgments against them concerning
all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me, ... and worshiped
the works of their own hands." (Jer. 1:16)
"And they shall know that I am the Lord (Sovereign God), and that I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them." (Ezek. 6:10)
"I will surely consume them," says the Lord. ... "And the things I have given them shall pass away from them." (Jer. 8:13)
"Now the end has come upon you, and I will send My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways, and I will repay you for all your abominations. ... Then you shall know that I am the Lord!" (Ezek. 7:3,4)
"Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it." (Isa. 46:11)
"For I am the Lord, I do not change; ..." (Mal. 3:6)
If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?" God will not withdraw His anger, ... (Job. 9:12,13)
No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, "What have You done?" (Dan. 4:35)
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved! (Jer. 8:20)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn
the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes
in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
(Jn.
3:16-18)
For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved. (Rom. 10:13)
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)
You are God—ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abundant in kindness ... (Neh. 9:17)
Next morning (June 18), I fed my 6:30 "alarm clock" cat and returned to bed remembering that it was my birthday. As I laid in bed strangely alert instead of sleepy, I softly said, "Lord, every birthday I ask You to supply a certain need, or even fulfill a desire. You’ve always answered my birthday requests. This time, I do not want anything for myself but for Your glory. I feel so ill-equipped for the judgment that lies ahead. It’s almost here, and what I would like for my birthday this time is Your mind and Your heart with the Spirit’s fired up faith, strength, power and boldness. Otherwise I’m going to be weak and ineffective to minister to the backslidden saints and to the lost souls during the time of judgment on this nation. You always provide what is needful, and I trust You to equip me now for the times ahead. I need full equipping of all of You—The Word." Then I fell sleep again.
DREAM: I was outside again, standing on the same spot on the lawn where I stood the previous evening. It was a bright day, and I was with my husband. Once again I was looking up at the sky. A beautiful colossal mass of white clouds against a brilliant blue sky was approaching our way. As I began to study the clouds, I quickly made out several superimposed figures (similar to a dotted pattern of cut-out paper dolls) of two still angels in flowing robes with what seemed like wide ribbons tied around their waists and flowing streamers blowing in midair. Their curly hair fell down to their shoulders and they had beautifully shaped spread out wings. Standing between them was a lamb. I was surprised at what I saw in the clouds, and exclaimed to my husband, "Look at the angels in the clouds!" As I spoke the word "angels," they began moving, as did the the lamb and its mouth, within the massive drifting clouds. Next, a fast moving STUNNING COLOSSAL JESUS suddenly appeared out of the north, rushing past the angels and the lamb in the cloud mass as He approached us! As he came closer, His size began to diminish to an exacting dimension all through his quick descent to meet with us, and by the time He touched ground, he was in exact body proportion size to ours. UHNBELEEEVABLE!
He took wide strides toward us, in a somewhat rushed manner. I quickly ran to Him and threw my arms around Him! I repeatedly cried out, "Jesus, I love You, I love You, I love You!" All the while I was clinging to Him with a tight embrace, I was excitedly aware that I was actually holding Him in my arms as I said to myself, "I’m touching the Lord! I can feel Him! I’m actually touching Jesus!" (I almost exploded!) There are no words to describe my feelings and emotions at this encounter with the Lord, except to exclaim that I felt and had an immense excitement with UNSPEAKABLE JOY!!! It was as real as I clasp my hands and hold them tightly together before me at this moment. IT WAS SO-O-O REAL! Also, as I held Him tightly, I was just as aware of how awesome the moment of my embracing Him was, and what His garment felt to the touch. This is the best description I can give about His garment: vibrant, living freshness, soft, and airy to the touch—with a faint, faint hint of a soft gentle moist sponge. However, His body was strong and firm. Jesus was real, real, REAL!
What happened next flabbergasted me! As I opened my eyes and sought to look into Jesus’ face, I found myself tightly embracing His legs! He had instantly become approximately ten feet tall! (I am 5'2.) While still embracing Him, I looked straight up to see Him looking straight down at me with a soft smile as He gently responded, "Yes, I know." (Oh-h-h my!) I released Him and stepped back a few feet to see Him better, but He instantly returned to His 5'11 (?) height. (Gasp!) As I stood there further stunned, He and my husband spoke a few words together, and then He turned around and walked toward a crowd of perhaps thirty or more people that had suddenly appeared. They were dressed in today’s western style, pastel color, light weight clothing. They stood quietly, and were spread out, about thirty feet away in groups of two’s, three’s or just a few alone. He walked over to them, and slowly strolled in their midst as He stopped and spoke to each one of them individually. The crowd instantly struck me as a flock of sheep ... which He purchased with His own blood (Acts 20:28) out on a green pasture with their Shepherd." ... the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice." (Jn. 10:3,4) We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Ps. 100:3)
I watched Him for a while, taking His appearance, fashion of dress and demeanor into account. How I admired the Lord! He was so unassuming and just plain natural! His hair was slightly damp and of a medium auburn color which hung down to just above His shoulders. It was windblown and tossed. He wore a close cropped beard of the same color, and He also had a healthy ruddy complexion. He was gentle but strong as well as masculine. He was attentive to each one He spoke with. All the while, He kept a gentle smile on His slender, strong featured face, and His body movement was lively but graceful. His body frame was slender and strong. His ivory colored dress garment, with a narrow band wrapped around His waist, had the appearance of having been actively worn, as though He just came from the labor fields. He also wore a separate large ivory colored cloth draped over His right shoulder that cascaded down His body as it draped itself around the left side of His waist over His dress garment. He wore sandals.
I was so excited at seeing Jesus, and at being in His presence! No past event in my life, or in the world—not even the moon landing—could ever be compared to what I was now experiencing and witnessing. It was more than miraculous. I was in the presence of the Son of God whom I had just held in my arms! It was the sacrificial Lamb of God that was slain on the cross at Calvary for my sins and the sins of the whole world! It was the Holiness, the Glory, the Love, the Grace, the Mercy, the Peace, the Word, the Light, the Truth, the Righteousness and the Strength of Almighty God—the Joy of the living—in the flesh—on two feet—before me! It was the Savior and Lord of the whole earth! IT WAS THE KING OF GLORY!!! (I had asked the Lord the previous night if I could once again soar through the clouds in my dreams, but now my heart, mind and spirit are soaring nonstop.)
While Jesus remained with the crowd, I turned and stepped away another thirty feet and entered a small white latticed darkened enclosure that sat on a small concrete slab. Within it was a small animal crouched under a table. It was the size of a large overweight mature cat, and dark brown in color. It’s ears were narrow and pointy, and it had no whiskers. Its face was puggish and nasty looking. The animal appeared to be a cat, but it wasn’t. Its front paws firmly held a small piece of raw meat it was busy biting into. Although it didn’t look up to acknowledge me, I excitedly approached and bent over it, saying, "Isn’t it nice having Jesus for company?" It looked up and instantly drew its head back with a haughty attitude as it responded with a firm rebuttal, "No!" It furled its forehead as its eyes instantly creased into slits. I immediately sensed a hostility on its part toward me, and withdrew a few feet back as it continued to glare at me through its narrow slit eyes while making piercing eye contact with me. (That animal was ugly to look at!) After a long moment of staring at each other, it then resumed biting on the piece of meat it had continued to hold firmly between its paws. I woke up a few hours later at 9:40 with a palpitating and excited heart.
INTERPRETATION: Jesus personally made haste to bring me an immediate response to my request. (I believe this confirms how little time is left before God’s wrath strikes America. I discern that judgment has already begun.) His sudden towering height over me confirms that I’ll have more of Him than I asked for, as there was twice as much of Him than I could hold. A double portion of equipping will be mine during the time of judgment and post-wrath, which now approaches America. And, praise the Lord, all for His glory! And, yes, I’ll be fired up with the Holy Spirit to minister the Word, hope and comfort to many during the chaos through the Word’s strength and the Holy Spirit’s power.
The animal is figurative of the self-sufficient lost world which is totally absorbed with the cares of the flesh, and who secludes itself from the Light. "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest (for fear that) his deeds should be exposed." (Jn. 3:19,20) It feeds on the crumbs of life rather than feast at the table of God’s Word. It represents the lost world which dwells in a hard, cold (symbolized by the cement slab) and dark environment, rejecting the Son of God. It wants nothing to do with Him, as evidenced by its hiding from Him. "I am the light of the world." (Jn. 8:12) The world is hostile toward God and His Son—the Light and the Truth. Do you not know that friendship (compromise) with the world is enmity (hostility) with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. (Jas. 4:4) Its carnivorous character reveals how it covets and devours its neighbor and his meat—his possessions—through lies, deceit and murder, bringing judgment and condemnation upon itself, while rejecting the meat of God’s Word—truth, justice, mercy and eternal life. "Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes." (Rom. 3:13-18)
Saints of God, I would now like to call your careful attention to the dream described above. The timing of this dream came as I was in the midst of composing this commentary, and is not coincidental or intended just for me. This dream is also for the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, as symbolized by the crowd Jesus walked in the midst of while personally talking with each individual. Notice that He also personally approached each one of them to minister His response to their prayers and petitions just as He came and approached me in response to my prayer and petition moments earlier. Many of you—the redeemed of the Lord—have consecrated, sanctified, dedicated and surrendered your hearts and lives to Jesus to serve Him as He calls upon you. (Sadly, many others of the redeemed have not done so, or else their lifestyle—which is engrossed in the lures and pleasures of the world—and their words and behavior would reflect it. They crucify the Lord anew daily. (Heb. 6:4-6)) You have also placed all your spiritual petitions before Him, expecting Him to fill, equip and keep you throughout the approaching times. Many of you have, and are receiving, revelations in various ways from the Lord as to what lies ahead for the Church in America shortly.
For those of us walking close with Jesus, a supernatural power, strength, boldness and peace will take hold of our hearts and minds in the midst of all the chaos, and WE WILL NOT FAINT in the midst of death, sorrow and adversity around us. Jesus is, and will continue to be the strength of our hearts, minds and lives. But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Isa. 40:31) We will be supernaturally empowered with the Holy Spirit and encamped with divine protection. Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. ... But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. (Ps. 34:9,10) A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. ... No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. (Ps. 91:7,10,11)
Notice the angels surrounding the lamb in the clouds. We have angels all around us (His sheep) now, yet imagine the legions of angels around the Church during the time of judgment and wrath. Do not lose spiritual sight of them at our side to minister safety and protection to us.
On August 30, 1976, at approximately 9:30 PM, I was born again by confessing, through prayer, that I was a sinner. I asked God to forgive me of all my sins, and embraced Jesus, His Son, as my Savior. I gave Jesus my heart and life, and asked Him to be the Lord of my life. Later that night, four angels appeared around my bed as I "slept." (I was heavily involved in the occult and witchcraft at that time.) I laid there alone on my back, watching them in the dark all night long while they stood gazing down at me without moving or saying a word. There was such a deep peace around me! I would roll my eyes and head to watch them, but did not say a word either. They were beautiful, and bathed in light. They were neither male or female. They wore white robes, were approximately six feet in height, had beautiful fair complexions, light hair, and were quite serene, yet vigilant. They did not have wings. When I woke up in the morning, I was totally "refreshed" and felt like a "brand new" person! Note that the Lord’s immediate priority was to show me His angels who would always be with me to protect me. He once again brought that to my attention in this dream which showed two angels around a lamb. I share this with you, the saints of God, as a strong word of comfort for the times ahead. The angels will minister to the flock of the Lord Jesus Christ. Be encouraged!
Through the Word, the Lord has revealed to His Church that we will be amply supplied with more than we can imagine is available to us: the power of prayer, the Word of God in our hearts, the Name of Jesus, authority over the enemy, the Blood of Jesus covering us, the power and seal of the Holy Spirit upon us, the angels encamped around us, and the Lord Jesus with us, strengthening our faith. What else do we need during the judgment? We shall be supernaturally protected! My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19) We are to keep our hearts and minds focused on Jesus at all times now, and during what lies ahead of us. His presence and strength shall equip us with the power of the Holy Spirit to go through the fire without burning. "When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you." (Isa. 43:2)
I share this word from the Lord with you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, to comfort and exhort you to persevere. But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 3:13,14) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith ... (Heb. 12:1,2) No weapon formed against you shall prosper ... (Isa. 54:17) The Lord God is my strength. (Hab.3:19) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear ... (Ps. 46:1) In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. (Ps. 62:7)
Beloved of the Lord Jesus, receive great peace, strength, comfort, and clear and distinct understanding with confirmation through this testimony, that many confusing and sometimes painful spiritual battles which you have fought and endured throughout your life, as well as some other battles, have been divinely ordained of God to PREPARE and QUALIFY you to ENDURE and to STAND. For the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deut. 13:3) The appointed time is almost here when you will finally stand straight, tall, prepared, qualified, strong in the power of God’s might, bold, wearing your spiritual armor, and readily equipped with the sword of the Spirit to do mighty battle, and to minister God’s love, hope, peace, assurance, strength and comfort. Those past boot camp training exercises will have enforced you with boldness and strength, and qualified you for God’s empowering of His Word and anointing of the Holy Spirit to be walking demonstrations of the power of God in the midst of the fire, and walking declarations of the Word of God during the judgment and post-wrath of America—God’s hidden army for the last days! I briefly quote a small passage from Dumitru Duduman’s "America Will Burn": "What will you do with the Church of the Lord? How will you save the ones that will turn toward you?" I asked. He said, "Tell them this: how I saved the three young ones from the furnace of fire (Dan. 3:8-27), and how I saved Daniel in the lions’ den (Daniel, Chap. 6), is the same way I will save them." This will not be a time for the saints of God to fear because of the word of hope and comfort from the Lord through His Word—"I will never leave you nor forsake you."— and through His prophet, Dumitru Duduman! Be assured that the time is just about at hand. Jesus will be with His Church throughout God’s judgment.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
but of power, love and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
"I have given them your Word, and the world
has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the
world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that
You should keep them from the evil one. ... Sanctify (set apart) them by
Your truth. Your word is truth. As You have sent me into the world, I also
have sent them into the world." (Jn. 17:1-18)
