DIFFUSING TRIGGER POINTS TO WAR

MARCH 9, 2003 REPORT

PRAYER AND FASTING RECOMMENDED 03/10/03 - 03/31/03

VISION OF 03/03/03

On the morning of March 3, 2003, I awoke from a vision of a global holocaust and catastrophic chain of events which flared across Europe, the Middle East and Asia; a world engulfed in an unexpected and out-of-control third world-war. The vision was so horrific that after awakening, I asked the Holy Spirit to erase the memories from my mind. Within several hours, the only memory remaining in my consciousness was that of mass graves, and thousands of bodies being bulldozed into the earth across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and nations which were caught off guard around the world. This account is not written to create fear, but to stress the urgency of immediate intercession and prayer. On 03/03/03, one trigger point for war was angelically diffused (when four North Korean MIG? intercepted a U.S. reconnaissance place in the Sea of Japan) ·but we have been warned by the Holy Spirit that more trigger points are being orchestrated by the enemy during the immediate weeks ahead. Each one of these trigger points can be eliminated if we remain alert and in strategic intercession for the nations of the world.

THREE SHIFTS, THREE CHANGING OF THE GUARDS

During the remainder of the month of March, I believe that the Holy Spirit is calling and commissioning many to serve as guards and watchmen for their nations in prayer and fasting, so that the enemy's plans will not succeed in their part of the world.

First Watch: March 10 - March 17.

Second Watch: March 17 - March 24.

Third Watch: March 24 - March 31.

Ultimately, this battle is not between flesh and blood, but between principalities and powers in high places. Demonic forces behind the scenes are manipulating world events to enter into a cataclysmic end, but our job is to see that they do not succeed. Intercession during the month of March for all world leaders is critical.

President Bush obviously needs much prayer during the month of March concerning the timing of a potential war with Iraq, along with wisdom concerning North Korea. In my opinion, thus far the Bush Administration has handled the situation with North Korea extremely well. The Administration has shown restraint and humility in the face of unreasonable threats and provocative actions, but at the same time demonstrated power and resolve by sending in 24 long-range bombers to Guam as an unspoken message and warning to Pyongyang to not take advantage of the situation in Iraq. Interestingly, on 03/03/03 (US time), a Seoul newspaper (Korean Times) reported that a warhead from a missile launched by Pyongyang was found in the state of Alaska, according to a U.S. document obtained by the Korean National Assembly. Note carefully the timing. The prophetic warning encoded in the vision of 03/03/03 was validated with major international signs. As a matter of fact, in February during my travels across the United States, in all 3 of my public meetings I recommended intercession and alertness on the date 03/03/03, and other prophetic ministries across the globe published the same forewarnings concerning the significance of 03/03/03. Now that the date has passed, it would be extremely unwise to not heed the warnings released through signs and visions on 03/03/03. Tensions continue to rise on the Korean Peninsula, despite peace-keeping efforts from Washington. Do not take this call to prayer and fasting lightly, but ask the Holy Spirit what your role should be in this endeavor for peace while their is yet still time.

THE CHINA FACTOR

Over the years, the enemy has tried again and again ·from the Vietnam Era to the present day ·to stir up a third world-war between China and the United States, using other nations as bait in his game (Vietnam, Taiwan, North Korea). On 02/22/03, the Lord interrupted my plans to depart for South Africa from the U.S., and sent me back east to Asia to once again intercede for this side of the world. If the forces of darkness have their way, Chinese troops will soon be marching through the streets of the Philippines, in alignment with North Korea in a Third World War against the US and her allies. Recently, my mom in Oregon (Deanna Lundy) had a vision of NPA Communist rebels marching through the streets of the Philippines, carrying the decapitated heads of about 60 Americans on bamboo sticks as they paraded with guns down the streets of the capital (unopposed, because Chinese troops had taken control of all major cities). My apologies for recounting the gruesome details of this vision, but the sobering fact is, if watchmen do not hear the call to stand guard in fasting and prayer during this time, many nations are in peril.

RELOCATION IN THE AIR, A CHANGING OF THE GUARDS

For many in 2003, relocation is in the air, and there is clearly a changing of the guards in many cities and nations. This does not imply a necessity to relocate because of impending calamities, but quite to the contrary, we are believing for victory in the current spiritual war we are engaged in, and an extended period of peace and prosperity. Although ultimately, peace and prosperity cannot be achieved without great shaking (read Haggai), it is an achievable goal in this generation, just as it was in King Hezekiah's generation.

For the present time, our relocation to South Africa appears to be on hold for a little while. The date on my scouting ticket to Africa is flexible (donated through bonus miles), so I have moved up the departure date to later this Spring. The fact is, I don't know where I'm going to be from one day to the next. We are a watchman ministry. In the 43 nations I have traveled to since 1988, often the Holy Spirit has given us less than 24-hours notice before marching orders to transfer to another nation. Airline tickets have usually been supplied through last minute miracles. Thus, as far as the exact date or location, I cannot tell you with great certainty, except that relocation is currently in the air and we are now on standby status. We will depart Asia when God says we are finished, and not a second earlier.

Since the beginning of 2003, almost zero funds have come into the ministry, but this does not concern us, for we live day by day via miracles. Interestingly, as I journeyed across America this winter, I discovered that many ministries have been going through the same thing that we have since 9-11 (zero income), but I was blessed by the love and generosity of the Church in America, even in the midst of hard times and financial trials. America's finest hour is yet ahead. She is being purified through the fire, and will come out more than an overcomer.

While in America this Winter, I did not pre-announce meetings or try to make a big spectacle out of things, but tried to allow the Holy Spirit to orchestrate whatever he wanted. There is so much pressure in the ministry to 'put on shows' for the sake bringing in more money or 'meeting a budget', but where is the anointing? Where is God's presence? I have no problem with big meetings, if God ordains it. But a minister's priority should be simple obedience to God. We must not fall into a lifeless pattern which produces nothing more than a show, for people can always turn on the TV if they want to be entertained. Our job is not to entertain, but to demonstrate the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit so that people will be drawn closer to God. Our meetings in America were very small, but anointed, and God had his way. At the conclusion of my trip to America, the Lord unexpectedly had me change directions. I picked up the phone, called EVA Air, and made reservations for a return home to Manila, and rescheduled my Africa ticket for the Spring. Within less than 24-hours after I made the reservation to the Philippines, someone walked up to me out of the blue in Redding, California, and gave me a check for $700, the exact amount I needed for the ticket! They had no idea I needed a airline ticket, let alone the amount.

So anyway, that's a brief update of where we're at now in the ministry. We have not yet been released from standing guard in Southeast Asia, but sense that relocation is in the air, and thus are on standby to relocate at a moments notice. Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support of our ministry, and please let us know if we can ever serve you in any way whatsoever. Peace and prosperity to you and your family in 2003.

Love,

Timothy, Juliet, Joshua and Esther Snodgrass
