The Sign of the Giant Squid Wrapped Around the Fish
Feb 25th, 2007
Scribe: Priscilla Van Sutphin
I was resting and the Lord reminded me of the story sent by Glywn this week from New Zealand about fishermen catching the biggest giant squid ever caught, and they emphasized it being a male of the species, never before seen. Also it was wrapped around a fish - gobbling on it. Now you have to imagine this as this thing is HUGE.
February 22, 2007—In Antarctica's Ross Sea, a fishing boat has caught what is likely the world's biggest known colossal squid (yes, that's the species' name), New Zealand officials announced today. Heavier than even giant squid, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) have eyes as wide as dinner plates and sharp hooks on some of their suckers. The new specimen weighs in at an estimated 990 pounds (450 kilograms). The sea monster had become entangled while feeding on Patagonian toothfish (toothfish photos) caught on long lines of hooks. The crew then maneuvered the squid into a net and painstakingly hauled it aboard—a two-hour process.
The Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) is a large fish found in the cold, temperate waters (from 50 to 3850m) of the Southern Atlantic, Southern Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans on seamounts and continental shelves around most sub-Antarctic islands. A commercial fishery exists for Patagonian Toothfish; the meat is sold under the trade names Chilean Sea Bass in the USA, Merluza Negra in Argentina and Uruguay, and mero in Japan, and high prices are paid for it. The average weight of a commercially caught toothfish is 9-10 kilograms (20 pounds) with large adults occasionally exceeding 200 kilograms (440 pounds). They are thought to live to fifty years, reaching a length of 2.3 metres (8 feet).
I was thinking on this as I rested when I felt the Lord’s tug, and that He wanted to say something about this. Now in symbolism, an octopus-type spirit represents jezebel…so I thought, and wondered if the squid represented a type of antichrist spirit, and what God would say. The fishermen caught this thing, and it lost it’s prey. Both seem significant.
Also that it’s suckers have hooks.
Holy Spirit spoke:
“ Many fish in this hour have been bound by satan’s tactics and lies. The antichrist spirit has pummeled many of the young and it thinks it has the “upper hand” so to speak. But I am not a man that I should lie nor a son of man that I should change My mind. I AM calling out LIBERTY to those caught in bondage and deceit, and I am bringing the freedom, breaking the chains of doubt and unbelief over many fish swimming in the vast seas of the earth.
I will apprehend this generation with signs and wonders as never before. I am not weak and impotent as even many of My own think. I am ALMIGHTY GOD, and NOTHING is too much for ME to handle. I have a plan, a good plan, and an awesome plan. I know that it SEEMS like the enemy has the advantage, but that is about to change. I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE what is in MY WORD beloveds and to speak it, and declare it to the heavenlies and to those in the earth and under the earth. MY WORD is true. It is correct that antichrist is arising, but so is MY GLORY arising upon YOU beloveds!
Recognize this is a time of NEW BEGINNINGS and change your expectations. It’s true there will be peril and hardships, but MY POWER will be poured out as never before. REMEMBER that the priests had ME as their inheritance. I AM YOUR EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD. MANY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP LUXURIES, AND CONVENIENCES TO HAVE THE GLORY THEY WANT. But I told you to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth where moth and rust decay. I want you to live simply as you can and to no longer hold on to the things you can hold in your hand, but to TRUST FULLY in ME and MY ability to provide all that you NEED. The age of having all that you WANT is fading. This is a new season. What you receive from me now will be for the building of MY KINGDOM, not mans.
Many of you will be asked to give up homes, and many others will receive homes, because your heart has been right and you would take in the homeless, the abandoned, the orphans or widows and care for them. Many will hide My people in times of duress, for anti-semitism is arising on the wings of antichrist. So consider what you hold in your hearts, for where your treasure is, there is your heart. What will you choose, beloveds? Your conveniences and wealth, or MY KINGDOM? Many have lived as if I never said that My Kingdom was defined by a narrow road, not the wide. I said FEW find it. FEW FIND IT because they are not willing to give up anything. They are not willing to give up belongings, or conveniences like the rich young man who came to My Son asking what he could do to gain salvation. He was told to sell all he had and to follow HIM, but he was too fond of things. It’s not that many can have things, it is the condition of your heart in having them, or they having you. There is a difference. I did come to give you life and to give it ABUNDANTLY.
But it is to be used as I DIRECT and say. You must learn to love enough to give up something. I gave up My only Begotten SON, yet many of you wouldn’t think to give up anything for the sake of giving to another. My church in America has grown fat and heavy with covetousness and greed, but I AM COMING TO YOU WITH FIRE, AND WITH WIND, AND WITH WAVES OF MY GLORY THAT WILL BLOW AWAY ALL THAT IS NOT OF ME. GET READY BELOVEDS, for I have tested many and found them wanting. Let not your heart be like Esau’s or Saul’s. Do not hold on to this world for anyone who is a friend of the world is an enemy of Mine.”

The Thief & The King
Priscilla Van Sutphin
[ word for youth and young adults ]
Feb 23rd, 2007
“The thief comes but to steal, rob and kill.
I come to breathe LIFE eternal, HEALTH and PROSPERITY on My people.
He seduces My people to commit sin in order to steal from them.
THAT is why not honoring your parents steals from you!
All sin is a stealer, a killer, a destroyer! Because the wages of sin is death.
He knows that if he can get you to ignore Me, that then He can steal your inheritance in ME.
So you must resist to be able to benefit from the inheritance that is yours.
If you criticize and do not honor others, it steals.
If you withhold instead of give, it robs from you.
If you hate instead of love, it brings death & destruction.
Remember that I said, he who does not love his brother is a murderer.
So in these ways, the enemy is stealing, killing, & destroying, trying to displace your inheritance and to keep you from fullness of My character, My love, and the inheritance you have in ME.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. NKJV
Now that I’ve said this, let me give you some balance here. For I know how sneaky the devil is to try also to come towards you with a religious spirit and make you feel guilty for things I have not called you to do. The highest obedience is to obey ME and what I tell you to do. So many today only partially obey. They do not want to give up their lives to have Mine.
When a child becomes a man, the word says, he leaves his parents and clings to his wife. So a child of age has to learn to make his own decisions that are made WITH ME. If your parents do not honor ME by seeking My face for you, then they are not walking on solid ground or leaning on the Rock that is My Son. They are in rebellion. I do not want you emulating ungodliness.
You honor your parents by saying that you respect them, and listen to what they say, but you DO WHAT I SAY. You don’t put them down for not being in synche with My will. You respect them. If a parent is dishonoring to you, then they are not honoring ME and MY Word. You are not bound to obey domination and control. But you are bound to honor them, and if you need, to leave that house and live trusting in ME.
Many of you young people are walking in promiscuity going from one sexual partner to another. You are defiling yourself with men or women seeking for love in them, instead of from ME. I have not so ordained this for you. If you cannot keep from burning over someone then you are to marry. But in the relationships you have, you have to seek MY FACE in order to receive the LOVE only I can give that will sustain you through any relationship. You need even MY GRACE to love ME. So unless you spend time with ME daily, you deprive yourself of the grace that is necessary to get through the day.
When that happens, any person will tend to walk according to your own desires and flesh, instead of asking ME for guidance, because you are not fellow-shipping with ME, you are trusting in self, rather than in ME. I want you to know HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU. You can only know that by EXPERIENCING ME. I AM AN EXPERIENCE. If you want to feel My love, then you ask for it. Even as a husband or wife would ask for more intimacy. I am a person. And you are my great delight. But you must come to ME, to ask to experience that manifest love I have for you, and to experience the PEACE that comes from fellowship with ME.
I will always love you and never forsake you. But how would YOU feel if someone close to you, just wouldn’t talk to you anymore? How would you feel if you were 12 yrs old and your parents abandoned you? I have feelings. That is how you got yours. I am GOD, but I am NOT WITHOUT FEELINGS. I hurt when you hurt, because MY SPIRIT lives in you, we are connected. I feel your emotions, and pain. I know when you are hurting, and I am waiting with open arms to embrace you when you feel sad, lonely or rejected, or even angry. So I want you to RUN to ME, and not seek out another when you feel those negative feelings. First RUN TO ME. FIRST RUN TO ME when you run into trials and tribulations. I AM THE RESOURCE of everything you need.
Think about it! Think about how you would feel if you were a parent and your child was suffering and they never told you about it, but tried to handle it on their own. Wouldn’t you feel sad? Wouldn’t you feel rejected a bit, and wonder, why doesn’t he come to me? THAT is how I feel. I AM YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER, and there is nothing I don’t see, nothing I don’t know, nothing I can’t help you handle. I AM a PROTECTIVE FATHER. I am a JUST FATHER. I am concerned about JUSTICE. Don’t think because you see injustice in the world, that I am mute and incapable of taking it in hand. For if you will come to me, and lay that problem down at the cross, and give the pain to ME, I WILL help you resolve anything. I know being young, that you think I’m not fast enough. But I AM THE ALL WISE ONE. I know best how to handle things. And I AM PATIENT with you, so surely you can understand that I am also patient with others.
NEVER seek vengeance beloveds, for I AM THE GOD of all gods, and Vengeance is MINE. I know the ways of all men. Remember the thief on the cross, and how I forgave the one? Remember I told him I’d see him in paradise that day? That is how quick I am to forgive you when you repent! I know the number of the very hairs on your head. Let ME discipline MY children in MY way. Let me be GOD, and not you. I am your Abba, YOUR FATHER, and I will give you understanding, wisdom and knowledge IF YOU ASK for it. Ask Me for what you need. Ask ME for wisdom that you need daily. I WILL give generously to all who ask in earnest, not just for selfish reasons. Also forgive yourselves and others READILY. TRUST in ME, and I will direct your footsteps. TRUST is hard to learn when it’s been violated in your lives. All of life is learning to trust ME, and how to love. For if you learn to fully trust ME, then you will receive fullness of My love more and more, as you spend time with me. If you want MORE, then spend MORE time in My presence. For I am here for you.
I will help you learn to trust. I will help you with all your needs, no matter how great or small. I LOVE YOU.
Sign of a Worm & Word for Mexican Americans and Native Americans
Priscilla Van Sutphin

Tonight I was reading the dream of a friend and in the dream, there were Mexicans, not caring for their children. As I was reading this dream at my computer, suddenly I felt something cold and wet on my left foot, and I was shocked to see an earthworm crawling over my foot!!!!
I don't need to tell you that earthworms crawling inside the house is not a very common thing! Earthworms love dirt and they will orient to light turning away from it, but to find it late at night crawling INSIDE my house is preposterous. Where did it come from? I recognized it was a sign so looked it up in Conner's book on Symbols and types and it says " SYMBOL OF THAT WHICH IS DESPISED; used as instrument of JUDGMENT"!
Just tonight Ashish and I were out back barbequing some Tandoori chicken, and there were some of my Mexican neighbors out there, and the Lord came suddenly -I felt HE wanted us to pray for a couple of them. So I started to pray for Allen [ who is not Mexican but had a son with slipped disk he was just telling me about. He himself has had depression battle for many years but insisted he was fine as he could get refusing prayer! ]
So we prayed for his son, then the one man in a wheelchair was indicating he wanted prayer so Ashish and I prayed for him, then I felt led to pray for the young boy there, and for outpouring of the Spirit on him, then his auntie for prophecy. Then another lady wanted prayer, then the other lady's husband wanted prayer, and the wife of the man in the wheelchair, so that everyone but Allen got prayer! It was AWESOME! I also felt like something prophetic was going on. That though is yet to be understood.
Later Ashish got attacked and got dizziness and I somehow knew it was just lashback for what happened so spontaneously…we prayed and he seemed better.
So as I was pondering this all, especially the worm I felt the impression that what is going on with the Mexicans here was a part of the interpretation of the worm. That those despised would be used to bring judgment. Have we not despised those outside of ourselves in other nations? Have we not mocked Mexicans and discriminated and underestimated them? Have we not used USURY to pay them? We are guilty of so many things especially our pride in our intellect and abilities that are given us by God, and we have despised others as if God wasn't watching and seeing it all. We react in fear and suspicion and do not get His perspective. So I asked God if He had something to say about all this…
1 Cor 1:22-31 AMP
22 For while Jews [demandingly] ask for signs and miracles and Greeks pursue philosophy and wisdom, 23 We preach Christ (the Messiah) crucified, [preaching which] to the Jews is a scandal and an offensive stumbling block [that springs a snare or trap], and to the Gentiles it is absurd and utterly unphilosophical nonsense.
24 But to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (Gentile), Christ [is] the Power of God and the Wisdom of God. 25[This is] because the foolish thing [that has its source in] God is wiser than men, and the weak thing [that springs] from God is stronger than men. 26 For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth.
27 [No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.
28 And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are, 29 So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God. 30 But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [ thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God ], and our Consecration [ making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [ providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].
31 So then, as it is written, Let him who boasts and proudly rejoices and glories, boast and proudly rejoice and glory in the Lord. [Jer 9:24.]
And the still small voice said: " I have deliberately chosen the weak and foolish, and despised of the earth to bring to nothing those who think they are something! My ways are higher than your ways of thinking! My reasoning is nothing like your own worldly reasoning. I have had a plan and I have ways that go beyond your thinking and opinions that are powerful and mighty to bring down strongholds and that confound the wise in their own opinions!
My life is for ALL men! My heart loves ALL who are created in Our image and likeness - not only those who are already in My Kingdom. And watch out for the pride of the flesh that makes you think that you are better than those around you. Who are you oh man but flesh and bone? Did I show preference to men? Did I shun women, or foreigners, or disdain the poor? Did I neglect to heal those who were Samaritans? Did I show despisement for any race of man? Is it not the sick who need a Doctor? Is it not the needy and poor of spirit, and weak who need the Great Physician? WHO WILL GO FOR US? Who will speak? How will they know without a preacher?
You look down your noses at those around you, yet you like the Pharisees do not open your hand to help them or lead them to ME! You disdain and hate and think you are above those who are sinners around you. You are filled with unbelief and doubt, and do not stretch forth your hands to help. What makes you different from the Pharisees of My time on earth? Did I not say that if your righteousness did not exceed that of the Pharisees, you would not ENTER the Kingdom?
Matt 5:20 NKJV For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
My church has been so SELF focused that it has not reached out in earnest to others, but has remained exclusive in many assemblies. There is but a remnant that cares for the poor. There is but a remnant who will offer their kindness and help to those different and those weak and maimed by the circumstances of life. The church is full of extortion and lies, and then proclaims MY righteousness in presumption, when many fully know what they are doing but have been blinded now by their pride and arrogance.
My church IS TO BE A HOSPITAL. How can you heal and deliver the sick and broken without being a hospital that will take in the wounded and nurse them back to health? How can you change nations if you won't even reach out across the street to a neighbor? STOP and smell the roses My beloveds and maybe if you slowed down long enough to hear My voice, you would know what to do that is in MY will, and not just your own will! Will you lay down your plans and seek MY PLAN, MY WILL, MY Righteousness? If you want the right to appropriate My righteousness, then you must ABIDE IN ME, and TRUST IN ME, and not in yourselves!
I AM THE WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. I AM. I Am forever watching over those who are willing in their hearts, even if the flesh is weak. So ASK and you will receive all you need to step out and touch someone. ASK and I will show you the way. DON'T rely on PAST METHODS. Don't rely only on what has been done before.
FOR BEHOLD I DO A NEW THING AND NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH!
I AM TAKING THE DESPISED AND THE LAME AND MAKING THEM A STRONG NATION! I AM UPROOTING THE FALSE AND EXALTING THE TRUE. I AM ELIMINATING THE DEBT OF PAUPERS AND DISENFRANCHISED ONES, AND LIFTING UP THE BROKENHEARTED AND MISTREATED. I AM EXALTING EVERY VALLEY AND CRUSHING EVERY MOUNTAIN AND EVERY FALSE AUTHORITY THAT EXALTS ITSELF AGAINST MY WILL! I WILL RIDE ACROSS THIS LAND AND I WILL CHANGE THE FACE OF MY CHURCH. NO LONGER WILL THE GODLESS MOCK ME WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE.
I will arise in My Mexican bride and I will exalt the Native American tribes which have been oppressed and suppressed, and I will make a spectacle of the enemy and his oppression! I will exalt the truly humble, and reduce the prideful to eating grass and confusion. I DO NOT ONLY USE THE EDUCATED! I CHOSE APOSTLES THAT HAD NEITHER EDUCATION NOR POSITION OR POWER. I CHOSE THE WEAK TO CONFOUND THE STRONG. Thus will I once again SHAKE all that can be shaken through those who offend the mind and senses! I will also use the despised of the earth to confound those wise in their own opinions! Do not become arrogant either My Mexican bride, for I am calling you forth for such a time as this. And though you have been treated as refuse, in My eyes you are beloved. I see what others do not see. I do not give what you deserve.
My GRACE is sufficient and I will do mighty things in your children, that you could not have imagined! Lay down your bitterness beloveds and lay down your pride!
Lay down your heartaches and your brokenness I will heal. I love you immensely and forever, and ever! I will put healing balm on your wounds and I will release vision that will heal your hearts! Come to ME and taste of My sweetness! Come to ME and drink in My presence! I am longing to hold you and deliver you from your bondages and hurts. I love you with an everlasting love and My delight is in you. Open your hearts and receive the fullness of My LOVE for you! For even as you have a reputation for passion, I will give you PASSION for JESUS the likes you have never known and you will do great exploits in My name.
Do NOT underestimate what I will do in you and through you My beloveds, for I am not a harsh taskmaster, but a GOD WHO LOVES YOU as no other loves you! MY LOVE is better than wine! My love will cover a multitude of sins. My love never fails! My love will cast down all fear! It will heal all hatred and malice! And I will jealously guard you as you seek your home in MY HEART, and I will show you great and mighty things to confound those who have mocked you and belittled you! COME TO ME and drink! Come and worship in the beauty of HOLINESS. Lay down the past and pick up your future! "
