There is a Treasure Chest About to Be Opened Up, and People Will Say, "It is Impossible"
Prophesied on April 4, 2009 in Seattle, Washington:
America is on the verge of a change, America is on the doorstep. A brand new door is about to open for this nation—a door we never expected. We are on the verge of something. People have not seen it. Men have cried, men have complained. But God said, "While they are complaining and while there is blindness in the Church and blindness from the people, I am already calling you, 'Come up here, come up here, come up here to a higher place,' and I will show you the things that will take place after this."
"There Will Be a Sign in the Heavens—It is About to Be Born in This Nation"
For the Spirit of the Lord says, "There shall be a sign that I will send to you," says the Spirit, "there will be a sign in the heavens. It will look and it shall be likened unto a woman that is about to give birth, that she is in labor." For God said, "There shall be a sign, for even in the Book of Revelation, even as I said there was a sign in the heavens, so in this nation I shall bring a sign in the heavens. And it shall look as if it is a woman, it shall be as a woman that is in labor and about to give birth," says the Spirit of God, "to a son."
For God said, "There is a birth taking place. And America is suffering the labor pains, America is suffering the last hours before the birth of this child. Did you not know that during your labor, did you not know during your pain that there will be something birthed?" says the Spirit of the Living God. "It's about to be born. It's about to be born for this nation—a move of My Spirit that shall shake the Church, that shall shake the gates of the cities. Listen to the Word of the Lord. It's about to be born and your travail must come to an end," says the Lord!
We've heard all the best and the greatest sermons and knowledge has been divided where men have begun to regurgitate for too much knowledge. The Spirit of God said, "Let the Spirit speak, let the Spirit bring visions. Let the Spirit bring dreams, let the Spirit bring trances, and let them put you in trances that you may see and that you may dream the dreams of God and not have the nightmares of satan." For God said, "There have been too many nightmares and there has been too much fear and this has come from the dispersing that has come from a chest that has been opened up by the powers of hell."
But yet God said, "There is a treasure chest that is about to be opened up, and a provision that will come to this nation which people will say, 'It is impossible.' Some will even say, 'It is evil.'" But God says, "Fear not, for the shaking that you are about to experience is coming because this that you have been laboring is a child that is about to be born—a move of the Spirit that is about to be birthed. Even as you have fasted and you have prayed and you have called out to God, and you have said, 'Where is the God of Elijah, where is the God of Elijah?'"
God said, "Even as Elisha stood at the water and he struck it and said, 'Where is the God of Elijah?'" so God says, "I will show you the God of Elijah. I will show you the God of Daniel. I will show you the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. I will show you the God of Ezekiel. I will show you the God of Elijah. I will show you the God of Moses. I will show you the God of Enoch who walked with God; I will show you Him!
"Yes I will," says the Spirit of God. "I will show you Him. I will show you the same visions that Ezekiel had—I will show you the wheel in the middle of the wheel. I will show the same that Jeremiah saw as he saw a tree and he saw the budding of the branches, so I will show it to you," says the Lord. "Even as Daniel saw the Kingdom that would be received and the Kingdom that would be obtained by the people and the saints of the Most High God, I will show you the same visions, I will show you the same dreams."
"Your children—do not reject them for they are going to dream the dreams of God, and they are going to have the visions of Christ." And God says, "They will wake up and they will come to your beds and they will say, 'Daddy or Granddad, can you please help me? I saw something.' For even as Samuel stood and he was before the presence of Eli, and God spoke to him, so I will speak to your children in the presence of evil. I will speak to your children in the presence of religion. I will speak to your children," says the Lord, "for it is only the children that can bring about this thing," says the Lord!
"Listen America. Listen to the child that is about to be born. Listen to the sound of this child." God says, "And even as people have said, 'We cannot take it anymore, the Church is redundant, the Church no longer has the life that is had,' do not be fooled." God said, "For that which is invisible I am going to make visible. That which is unseen I am going to make seen. That which has been in the womb is going to come forth and be shown to you," says the Lord. "So that pride will be given back to the Church, so that joy will be given back to the Church."
God said, "Let the prophet prophesy tonight. Let the dead bones in the valley come to life. Let the dead bones of your children come to life. Let the dead bones of your family come to life as you prophesy," says the Lord.
"Look at the sign that is coming in the sky." For God said, "Would you call for God to show you? For is it not told," says the Spirit of God, "that this woman that brought and gave birth to this child is likened unto a generation—the Bride of Christ that gives birth to this great move—this end time move, men have cried out for it. In the early 17th century they saw your day. In the early 1800s they saw your day and prayed for it. Abraham saw your day and prayed for this day. Daniel saw this day and he prayed for it."
For the Spirit of God said, "David saw this day and sang for it. Everyone saw this day, even as early as the early century they saw this day and said, 'What day is this that the earth would yield its produce to the sons of men? What is this day that even the earth will save the woman that has run away as a flood has come and spewed out of the mouth of the serpent?'"
So the Spirit of God says, "It is so and it is this day that I speak of, for many don't understand that there has been a war in the heavens for the United States of America. There has been a war in the heavens for these United States. Do you understand that this is not a battle against the economy? This is not a battle against a Democrat or Republican. This is not a battle against a ruler. This is a battle that has been taking place in the heavens." But God said, "I have expelled those that have tried to interpret incorrectly and I've taken them out of the heavens and expelled them to the earth."
For the Spirit of God says, "This generation, you that have birthed this child, and about to give birth to this move of the Spirit, satan shall chase after you," but God said, "I will give you two wings. I will give you the wings of eagles so that you will be taken to a place that I have kept just for you," says the Lord. "I will take you to a place that I have kept just for you. I will give you two wings, the wings of eagles," says the Spirit of God, "and you shall be carried to a place of safety while the enemy tries to find you, and you will not be able to find this generation and they will not be able to destroy the child" (the move of God's Spirit).
"When the child is born, he (satan) will immediately try to kill this move. When this movement is born, he will immediately try to kill it, just like they tried to kill Christ when He was born, just like they tried to kill Moses when a deliverer was about to come forth. This movement is a movement of deliverance," says the Lord, "this movement is a movement of deliverance. But I will deliver the earth from the curse."
And God said, "I will do exactly what I said." He said, "For even as I spoke in Exodus 23, and I said these words: 'If they would just hearken unto My voice, if they would just hearken unto My voice,'" God said, "and they would obey My voice, there shall be no sickness. I will take sickness from amongst you. I did not say that you will not be sick. I said I will take sickness from amongst you—I will take it out. There shall be no more miscarriages, and there will be none that will be barren amongst you," says the Lord. "But I will bless your hands; I will bless your womb. I will bless your businesses; I will bless your churches," says the Spirit of God.
This is a word for the United States of America. I've been caught up into a spirit world. I cannot move from there now. For God says, "There is a sign, there is a sign that is coming from the heavens and you will see it. It is as a woman that holds a child, the child that has been born." And God said, "The enemy shall say, 'I must spew out of my mouth the waters so that there will be a flood, and so the flood will take this generation and take this child.'"
But the Spirit of God said, and hear the word of the Lord: "The earth shall save the woman, the earth shall save the child, the earth shall swallow up the water and there shall be no flood of evil nor iniquity. There shall be no flood of evil nor iniquity," says the Spirit of God. "They shall not take this that is about to be born and cause that to happen that happened in the previous generation and the previous move. There shall not be barrenness, there shall not be any miscarriages, there shall be no dues paid." God said, "There shall be no divorce, and there shall be no people that shall say it is okay to do these things." For God said, "This that is about to be born is one of the holiest moves of My Spirit and it shall be done with the most unholy people that are alive today," says the Lord. America, hear the word!
I'm seeing all kinds of things. I see a spider web and I see a spider and, "This thing that the spider has caught," God said, "is a necessity. Why?" Because the Spirit of God says, "This has weaved its web in the palaces; the spider has weaved its web in the palaces," says the Lord, "even in the greatest of royalty in My Kingdom, the chosen generation." We have found spiders and we have found cobwebs, and God said, "This has to be removed."
"The Earth is Crying Out for the Manifestation of This Movement About to Be Born"
For the Spirit of God says, "Even as America has prayed and the people have called out, this vision that has been caught has been brought to your attention, is so that you will understood something is being born, a movement is being born, and the unholiest shall become the holiest. And those that are of much iniquity shall become the saints of the Most High God. Those who have rejected Him shall fall on their knees, and they shall become as the Davids of this day.
"You don't understand that," God said, "I will open your eyes with the knowledge that is given tonight. The earth is crying for the manifestation of the sons of God. The earth is crying out for the manifestation of this movement that is about to be born in the United States of America, in New Zealand, in Australia, in Africa, in South Africa." God says, "In England, in Scandinavia, in Greece there shall be a very unusual move.
"In Italy, even the Roman Catholics shall say, 'Abba Father,' and they shall say, 'There is only one Christ,' and they shall embrace this thing," says the Lord. "For the present Pope that I have given shall be washed in the Blood of Christ in a way that they have never seen before. Millions and millions of Roman Catholics will cry out and they will speak with a new language with stammering lips—they will prophesy. For a prophetic movement shall come upon the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestants shall say, 'This is not right.'" But God says, "It shall be right, for I will join their hands together and they shall be as one and it shall come to pass. It shall come to pass that the dream of Martin Luther and the dream of those that took on Protestants and their movement," God said, "they will see the joining of hands."
And God said, "It shall then move into Russia, and it shall move into Indonesia. It shall move then into China. It shall move," God says, "into places never dreamed of, but one place that it shall certainly shake shall be the Middle East," says the Spirit of God. "For the Middle shall defy the spirit of rage. It shall despise the spirit of murder and hated religion and begin to embrace the Christ who shall walk their streets.
"America, you did not go there in vain to Iraq. You did not go to the Middle East in vain. I needed the soldiers' feet to be on that soil. As I told Joshua, wherever you put your feet I will give it to you. This war was not in vain. The blood that was shed was not in vain. That blood shall cry out and Christ's Blood shall cry out in the Middle East," says the Lord!
"My Church Shall Arise and Invade the Kingdoms of This World"
"South Korea, North Korea shall become one," says the Lord. "North Korea, your President is dead; he is already dead. I have already written on the wall, 'Mene, mene, tekel, parsin.'" God said, "Your days are numbered, you have been counted in the balances. Therefore, Kim, it is now time for you to face this that you have done that has been iniquitous. You are no longer alive, you are a vegetable, you are brain dead." And God said, "Because of that, I will cause that to bring about unity in South and North Korea and the greatest move of the Spirit shall come from there.
"America shall look and say, 'What is this happening? We thought we could make peace through the United Nations.' Hey, what is the United Nations? It is an evil force," says the Lord, "that is a stench to My nostrils. They are not what I have called." God said, "My Church shall arise and invade the kingdoms of this world and the kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdoms of our God and His Christ," says the Lord!
"There is angelic visitation, you may not believe it. They didn't believe it in Ezekiel's day, they didn't believe it in Isaiah's day. They didn't believe it when David stood and watched the angel as he spoke to God and said, 'I would rather you slay me, but don't slay these people.' And so, the judgment," says the Lord, "shall be stayed and the plague shall be stayed," says the Spirit of God. "Because the David of this hour and the prophets of this hour have stood outside the cities of this nation and they have said, 'God, hold back the plague, hold back the plague and save Your people.'
"Do not fall for this that they have said, 'I will judge you and destroy you.'" For God said, "It shall not be so. For the movement that is about to be born shall bring holiness and bring life and sanctity, and this nation shall be shaken to the core because of this night and because of what the word of the Lord has said to every one of you."
Paint Your Future
Kim Clement
May 2009
Today I received the following letter from the President of a very large ministry in the USA and one that affects many countries in the world. His influence is strong and his ministry literally touches millions of lives. I have edited it simply to protect the identity of this wonderful man.
Dear Kim,
You may remember me... Your ministry to us in previous years was wonderful and you prophesied over my child at the time. Years before that, I had my greatest prophetic encounter in my life when I went to see you in a certain city and heard you teach. Just recently I spent time praying and the Lord convicted me that I had touched the Lord's anointed in a wrong way. During the elections I was frustrated with what you had put out prophetically and I spoke for a moment and used your name in a public way. It was wrong and I ask your deepest forgiveness. I honor you as a prophet. I don't think anything came out of that very short statement but it affected God and I repent. I pray that God would continue to use you mightily as a clear voice for America. I commit myself to honor you. Thank you for hearing me...
Spiritual leader
In order for me to be a voice without allowing social or cultural influences to affect my judgment, I have to overcome the challenge of possibly using my own opinion and my own agenda in presenting the will of God. I can honestly say that I know how the prophets of old must have felt when God told them to say something that completely disagreed with their own opinions or personal feelings. Jonah knew God's ways and so he ran from the responsibility of delivering the Word of the Lord to the city of Nineveh, the flourishing capital of the Assyrian empire.
Jonah 1:3 - 6
"3 But Jonah ran away from the Lord. He headed for Tarshish. So he went down to the port of Joppa. There he found a ship that was going to Tarshish. He paid the fare and went on board. Then he sailed for Tarshish. He was running away from the Lord. 4 But the Lord sent a strong wind over the Mediterranean Sea. A wild storm came up. It was so wild that the ship was in danger of breaking apart. 5 All of the sailors were afraid. Each one cried out to his own god for help. They threw the ship's contents into the sea. They were trying to make the ship lighter. But Jonah had gone below deck. There he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. 6 The captain went down to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call out to your god for help! Maybe he'll pay attention to what's happening to us. Then we won't die."
Jonah eventually obeyed God and went to Nineveh and declared the Word to them in the hope that God would judge them swiftly. But to his dismay, they repented and cried out to God. This was God's response to Nineveh's prayer of sorrow; "God saw what they did. They stopped doing what was evil. So He took pity on them. He didn't destroy them as He had said He would."
The fact is that God has the right to say what He likes and do as He pleases and He is not accountable to us! So many people became angry with me simply because I publicly prophesied about Barack Obama's election victory while I was in Harrisburg, PA. Most people don't realize that my own personal opinion was diametrically opposed to what I was hearing! I struggled tremendously with this. I had no problem with God selecting an African American as President, but I did have a problem with God allowing a Democrat to win! After hearing what came out of my innermost being, I had to align myself with GOD'S WILL AND INTENTIONS and NOT my personal belief and choice. I had to come to the realization that it was not my purpose to make God the God of only the Republican Party and the God of only the Republican candidates. He spoke to me and rebuked me for my lack of faith in His ability to rule within any specified party. Many years ago, the Spirit of God spoke a prophecy through me, saying that He would fill the next President with the Holy Spirit while he was in office. Well, why would that change suddenly because a Democrat was chosen? Yes, He can and YES HE WILL!
My daughter, Donne, who is a conservative in many ways, wrote this note to me when I was discouraged because of the hate mail I was receiving about my prophetic role in the election.
Daddy,
I think we should give Obama a chance and we should recognize the need within our generation to unite and not be afraid. Hate is usually birthed from fear and fear is birthed from reaction to something unfamiliar. We are always afraid of change, but the struggle is usually the labor of birth. When Obama was elected, the world celebrated, and not because he was a democrat. Nobody even cared at that moment, a more pressing issue was being addressed, the issue of unity. In Kenya, they declared our election day a national holiday, Obama day, because the simple act of electing him to lead the greatest country in the world gave hope to millions who have prayed for a chance at equality, not superiority. Of course there will be idiots who see things that way, but those idiots exist in all races. All of this makes me think of Hilda (Authors note: the African woman who raised Kim Clement in South Africa) and how I loved her, and even more, how you loved her. She wasn't less than we are, her environment and circumstances made her path more difficult because of ignorant ideas that governed South Africa for so long, but those ideas have died with the passing of generations, and in electing Obama, we have had the funeral for the old way of thinking. God needs us to be united in all ways as we fight both the physical and spiritual war that we are in, and that transcends the very divisive "republican and democrat," the way the North and South were divided before the Civil and then World Wars.
I love you Dad.
Donne
I realize that my role as a prophet will always draw unpopularity, frustration and even anger. We don't know the future - God does -- and He shares this with prophets. Why? Prophets have a longer or expanded sight. When your sight is longer to see the future, then your sight for the past becomes shorter. Sometimes the best way to forget your past is to gain more sight of the future. It's almost like a computer memory space. You've got to delete some of the memory from the past to create more room to see the future. The more you glimpse into the future, the wonderful destined future that God designed for you, the more you will be able to forget your hurtful past.
My personal view is that the changes now sweeping the world have no historical precedents - or to explain better - there are no earlier events or actions that we can regard as an example or guide to be considered in subsequent similar circumstances. This is very exciting as it means we are experiencing something for the first time on the Earth! So when a prophet prophesies or predicts something that is totally unrelated to the PRESENT, bears no familiarity with and has no reference to the reality of today, people find it difficult to accept and oftentimes take up arms against the vessel that God uses. In the late 1990s, who would have accurately guessed what the political climate of the world would be ten years later? For instance, the Internet and its impact, the degree to which commerce and globalization have transpired and the dramatically different ways in which our children would communicate with one another, was incomprehensible 20 years ago. Yet I remember prophesying in the early 1980's about invisible light, multiple communications on a screen and the transference of documents through an invisible pipe. People laughed at me and I remember one spiritual leader saying, "When Kim Clement prophesies something, you have to put it on the TOP shelf." They couldn't relate to the prediction simply because they had nothing tangible to connect with. Today I watch my daughter, Elizabeth, doing homework for school with four windows open on the computer. Instant Messages are flashing continuously, her cell phone constantly ringing, and she is downloading music and watching TV over her shoulder. She seems to be running an empire, as far as I can see, and yet before my very eyes I see the fulfillment of a prophetic word that I gave in the early 1980's. Is it a requirement for someone to speak it out before it can actually unfold? I think so. That makes the prophet and the prophetic gift far more interesting and relevant.
One of my prophetic burdens is the population growth and yet I see a solution. Many Christians don't. The world population has doubled in the past 30 years, from three to six billion. It may be heading for nine billion by the middle of the century. The great new mass of humanity will be using technologies that have YET TO BE INVENTED in ways we can't imagine and in jobs that don't yet exist. Someone has to speak it out, to predict it, because before something can emerge, it has to be spoken creatively under the inspiration of the Spirit of the Future - GOD - and this comes by creative observation. Creative observation is the ability to see something creatively, as God saw a prince in Jacob and then spoke it into existence. You cannot prophetically speak something into existence unless you have seen it under the influence of your spiritual creativity. Creative observation means that you observe something, not within its confines but outside of its restrictions, and once you see it, you're able to paint a colorful picture.
I have been an EYEWITNESS of a future glory. Today we understand that the word "glory," that is used so loosely by many revivalists, has a far greater meaning than what they portray and teach. It means, "magnificence, distinctive, splendor, eminence, a HIGHER STATE OF EXISTENCE." The future holds a HIGHER STATE OF EXISTENCE for every one of us who can see it and grasp it, and it's not only a spiritual state of existence but also a real material existence in a real material world. Notice in the Ancient Scripts that the Apostle Peter speaks about this wonderful gift we all have. He mentions that they were "eyewitnesses" of His Majesty; they observed creatively the part of Christ that no one else had seen and out of this came a prophetic word. When you see something under the power of creative observation, you then receive a prophetic word so that you can speak it into existence. Notice that Peter says that it is as a "light that shines in a dark place." The prophetic word brings the light into a dark place.
2 Peter 1:16 – 19
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 18 And we heard this voice, which came from Heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place.
The future is not dark and filled with fear but rather God's portrait, which appears black and white. He allows us the privilege and grants us the opportunity to paint and dictate the colors we place in the future that He has drawn. We can paint it dark and dismal or we can paint it with colors so that it is filled with joy, peace, prosperity, progress and life.
Start painting the portrait of your future. We know there will be pain and sorrow and various anxieties but that is NOT only what life is all about. We must dictate as best as we possibly can the outcome of our future. God has already drawn the picture of your destiny and future on the canvas of your heart – go ahead and paint it with the appropriate colors.
