Word of the Lord for 2013

At the end of 2012 I took three hard looks at the year to come. A change had taken place. Demonic activity was intense. The world and the nation had gone off the rails. I wrote about it on the Prophet Gene blog. They comprise the word for 2013.


The Great Divide - the Whore Church Divided from the Bride

I have long believed that there would be a great divide in the "Church". That there would be a Whore church and a True Church, the Bride. That the divide would become very evident. The line of demarcation would be clear. That the deception and embracing of corrupt evil government would be the mark of the Whore church.

Growing up I was taught this would be the Catholic Church. I no longer believe that. I think at one time the Catholic church was the false prophet, the whore church. But I think God has killed off that facet of the church. Then I thought it might be the lukewarm evangelical church. Methodist, Presbyterian, lukewarm ELCA Lutheran. I thought it might be the Liberal Church of Jim Wallis and the Sojourners who embrace all forms of evil in the name of Jesus.
Now I see a new candidate. It bothers me a lot. A form of Religion but no power of discernment. No capacity for hearing from God. No willingness for obedience to His Word. Lawlessness is the core identifier of this church:

  "the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers," 1 Timothy 1:9

That divide is becoming clear to me now. I don't like what I see, the unholy trinity of Revelation 13.

Satan (the Dragon) finds people who will be subject to his wiles, he influences them and uses deception to place his subjects or at least those who cannot resist him in power in government. We then have a corrupt government system. The beast. That is the Great Dragon and the Beast in place. That would be bad enough, but then we have support for the beast empowered by the dragon.  The false prophet.

The false prophet is a corrupted religious system the calls evil good and good evil. It supports the beast (corrupt government) and teaches that the government of corruption is God's purpose. That creates an UnHoly trinity. The Dragon (the devil) could not do this without unredeemed unbelievers in government ready and willing to be mislead. The false prophet Whore church could not support this unless leaders there were unredeemed tools of the enemy.

At one time this WAS the catholic church during the middle ages. Certainly today in Muslim countries like Syria and Iran the beast system is in place. Corrupt Government and false prophets who support them with clerical robes.

NOW we have the same situation forming in the USA. A new demonic attack is underway. We are seeing manifestations of it. The false prophet has overplayed his hand and exposed himself for who he is. Watch and pray. Read all of REV 13 and you will see the pattern. These things are not end time events, they are long deep cycles recorded in the Word for us to be aware of satan's schemes.

Now that you know, watch and pray.  Satan STILL goes about as a roaring lion seeing whom he may devour and when he does the false prophet cheers. 


The Voyage of the Ship of State - a Look into the Future

After the election  I sought the Lord on what is ahead for the next several years, in the USA, in the State, City and in our lives. Elections always have consequences. This one certainly will.  I was shown a pattern that takes place when a Prophetic word is ignored, a ship casts out into unknown troubled waters with majority consensus, a blinded pilot and governmental authority to back him up. This pattern is revealed by the story in Acts 27-28. Paul shipwrecked on Malta on the way to Rome.

The story is familiar, but it contains instructive nuances many of us miss.  Paul had argued to be sent to Rome.  He had received a visit from Jesus that assured him that his purpose would be fulfilled.  He stepped onto the boat knowing that while the trip had peril in it, that the expected end was assured.

As we explore the story if you hover over the scripture reference you can read the passage in full.  The prophetic meaning of all this will become clear at the end.  A summary:

Acts 27:1-8 Paul had appealed to Cesar, the Government was required to send him to Rome.  As you read the passage, you will see that there was already difficulty in the voyage as they embarked to Rome. Things were not going as expected or hoped for.  There was opportunity to sail to a safe place. A  better place even than a place called fair haven. They might have harbored over winter and made the trip without incident.

Acts 27:9-12 Paul using the gift of prophecy, warned the captain, the pilot, his guard and shipmates of the danger to come. He said, IF we embark on this course we will not make it.  A vote was taken and by a majority, the vote for going down a path of destruction was decided.  It was a democratic act. It over rode a word from the Apostle.

Acts 27:13-20 Gentle winds blew.  It seemed as if things were going to be OK.  That all these warnings Paul brought were of no account.

Things got rough.  A strong wind blew up from Europe and the seas became very rough.  Steering the ship became impossible in the storm.  Much of the equipment was discarded to keep the ship afloat.  The storm got so bad that most of the passengers and crew on the boat were convinced they were going to die.  Giving up hope.

Acts 27:21-26 Then Paul addresses the passengers and crew.  He doesn't demean them.  He tells them what is about to happen and tells them to prepare for an eventuality.

Paul who had every right to demean and condemn, rather offers hope:  “Men, you should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this damage and loss. 22 But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed. 23 Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ 25 So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. 26 Nevertheless, we must run aground on some island.”

Now the ears of the those who had decided otherwise were open.  They were ready to hear.

Acts 27:27-32 It got worse then they thought it would become.  His words of hope were not enough when things got rough.  Some of the crew decided to abandon ship.  Run away. Paul warns them. Now they are ready to listen to the word of God's man. 
Then Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, “Unless these men stay with the ship, you cannot be saved.”
That was a wake up call.  Now they knew, if they didn't hang together, they would not make it.

Stay with the ship was Paul's cry.

It had been 14 days and in the battle no one had eaten much.  They were exhausted.  Hopeless.  Paul admonishes them to eat something. He breaks bread, gives thanks to God.  They all eat.  He becomes the head and not the tail because he hears from God.  Yet in the flesh he is still a prisoner.
"I urge you to take some food. You need it to survive. Not one of you will lose a single hair from his head.”
Acts 27:33-38   That was a big claim.  276 people were on the ship in the middle of terrible storm and Paul says, NOT ONE will be lost.  They ate and the rest of the food was thrown overboard.

The crew saw what they believed to be HOPE.  A sandy beach appeared on a distant island.   It became the lure that drove them onto a sandbar that caused the ship to designate.  It became unrecognizable by anyone.  Beaten to pieces. 

Acts 27:39-41   It looked pretty bleak

Acts 27:42-44 But in the middle of the catastrophe when it looked as if even the soldiers would kill the prisoners including Paul, there was reprieve.  Even the men who would kill them were set back by a higher call.  Leadership intervened and told them NOT to harm any.  Everyone who could swim did, others hung onto scraps of wood and drifted.

Acts 28:1-6 The whole of the crew and passengers made landfall.    The people of Malta showed them kindness.  They brought them to safety.   Gave them food and warmed them by a fire.  Paul was bitten by a viper from the fire, many assumed he must be evil and will soon swell up and die ...but he lives.  They revere him as a God.  NO he says. He gives glory to the True and living God.

Acts 28:7-10  Soon God moved on the population. Paul ministered to Publius family who was the chief on the island. His ministering of healing caused the whole island to come to understanding the Power of God. 

Many came to receive healing at the hands of Paul.  Paul and his shipmates stayed the winter and when they were ready to go, the islanders blessed them with provisions for the journey the next spring.

As a result of this, God brought Paul to Rome, Paul stood before Cesar and Rome was eventually converted.  The Gospel came to Italy.

What does this have to do with today and our current ship of state? MUCH.

The USA has been sailing in troubled waters for some time now.  The advice has been to find a better course, more proven leadership.  That advice not been heeded.  The ship of state has been put on a dangerous course.  Despite warnings of the Prophets, our shipmates have voted for a course that has shipwreck at it's end.

There have been brief breezes that seem to be favorable.  Those have caused the captain with the approval of the crew to set out to sea.  There have been some difficult winds, but Fair Haven has been sought.  Now a strong opposing wind is blowing hard.  The next event will be a difficult time that will drive the ship of state without any direction from the captain.  This will cause our shipmates to become fearful.  There will be measures taken to lighten the load but the opposing winds will become so strong that the ship will become one of terror.  People will consider abandoning ship.  Trying to get away.  We see it already.  There is no getting away.  There is no safety in the lifeboats.  There are no lifeboats.  Not Gold, not silver.  The only safety is staying with the ship.  It will be an event that will shake everything that can be shaken. I do not know what that event will be, but it is certain to come.  There will appear to be a place to find safety.  A sandy beach will seem to be just the place.  Yet as the wind drives the ship of state toward illusive safety, disintegration will take place.

There is good news in this however.  Refugees will end up on the shore.  They will carry the truth of Christ in their midst.  Revival, conversion, healing, miracles will be the result.  This will the the greatest time for the manifestation of God's glory ever seen.  This will change everything.  Many people see potential apocalyptic events as negative, yet supernatural potential is in them.  God does his best when things seem to be the worst.

THE KEY IS... stay with the ship.  Do not lose your faith in the Word of God from the Prophets and Apostles nor from His written Word.  Pray for the leaders who are trying to steer the ship, yet understand that the ultimate destiny is in the hands of God.  No matter how the winds blow.  HE will bring us to HIS expected end. There will even be a time when it will appear we are snake-bit and have no hope.  YET. That will be the very thing to reveal the Glory of God in our midst.

Rough seas are ahead.  Times are going to get rough. God is about to use what seems to be impossible to bring justice to an unjust age.  To bring adjustment to things out of alignment.  For some it will seem like Judgement.  It is not.  It is making wrong things right.

Have confidence, what looks like catastrophe is about to be turned for our good and for God's Glory!.


The Empty Demon Infested House Prophecy

I have had this recurring dream of moving into a large new empty demon infested house from our smaller safe place. It happened again last night. I have come to the conclusion that this is God's way of showing me what is happening to us as a nation. I will write down what I am being shown. There are 7 demons that have been released in the land because we as a nation have given them permission to invade. We opened the door. Our house is clean, empty and now invaded. Jesus warned of this phenomena in our age:

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.

Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked
generation.” (Matthew 12: 43-45)

The 7 demons are as follows:
1. Riot and Lawlessness. Released in May of 2010
2. Antichrist and atheism. Released in June of 2009
3. The Demonic Muslim Faith as equal with Christianity. Released May 2009
4. Black Racism released March of 2012
5. Homosexual acceptance demon released May of 2012
6. Destruction of the Family Demon released August of 2012
7. The acceptance of Molek as the God of Abortion Released November 2012

Other sub demons including manifestations of Graft, Corruption, Theft and Deception which have been with us for a while now have new powers to operate.

Our house has been scrubbed of the Presence of Jesus by a secular culture and an insipid intended restrainer in the powerless western church. Now the demons are here. In my dream it was easy to come against them in the name of Jesus... in our country... we must first repent of allowing them to displace the truth of God in America. Then we can cast them out. But repentance is the first step. Without Repentance nothing will change. Beelzebub cannot cast himself out.
