*AN IMPORTANT FOLLOWUP TO OUR LATEST NEWSLETTER - YOU MUST READ THIS!


This is a really important document.  I ask you to read it through and to think and pray about it.  Our September newsletter touched just a bit on what you are about to read, but by no means the whole account.  This is important for all of you and your families.

Some of you have known me a long time.  Some of you I think know pretty clearly how I have been called by God and given certain assignments.  Some of you have seen the healings and miracles and heard various revelations regarding all Jesus is and who we are in him and his imminent return.  Some of you, probably most, know how dramatically God stepped into my life years ago and called me to this new life we have led for so long.

Over the years the Lord has spoken many things to me in various ways – direct words, Holy Spirit guidance, words spoken to others, dreams, visions, circumstances.  And he has done so many healings and miracles.  Among the words he has shared are many concerning his return and specific prophecies sometimes that I have considered just for me and for Cathy.  Then there are those that clearly I was to share with all and I have done that.  And the third category is those that perhaps should be shared but when …?   I needed guidance on that.

In this writing I am sharing some startling things, one from years ago and the others from just the past few days.  After you read this, and as you consider all written here, please pray about it all.  Seek God’s guidance for yourself on the matters covered. 

With that background here we go:

Last fall Cathy and I, after 20 years of living down on the shore really close to the beach, had a real sense, and understanding, that we needed to move.   So we began to write down the reasons why we should move.  When we got to number 8 we said, wow, and we realized it was time.  There were several good reasons.

We prayed about the move and about putting the house on the market to sell.  And the Holy Spirit guidance was clear.
 
Now pay special attention:

As we went through the process, our minds turned back to a prophecy, a word, the Lord gave me several years ago.  In fact it was in December of 2005.  I have only shared this with a few of those closest to us, but now I am sharing it with all.  These are the Lord’s words:

“This whole island will be covered with water.  The coastlands will be covered with water.  But I will move you and your family before then.  Put it all in my hands.”

We had thought about this over the years but the Lord had not moved us.  Now it was happening.  And it did.

We lived along the shore, very close to the ocean, and as we thought of moving off the island on which we lived, we thought we would move to the nearby large city which was a few miles from the shore.  But then those words from the Lord came back to mind and it was obvious we needed to move more inland.  So we did, to a wonderful place more than a hundred miles from the coast.

Now we are away – from a place we loved living but also from a place the Lord himself said would be covered by water, along with the coastlands.
 
While you are recovering from all this, I want to go quickly to another subject that relates directly.  A few days ago I had a dramatic dream/vision, clearly a message from God.  Maybe you have had such a thing, or maybe not.  In such a dream/vision, you feel you are really there, and the words and actions are real.

I will not summarize all, for it is a long account.  But you need to hear the main part.  Cathy and I were walking along the shore in a town just north of our beach town.  Another couple was with us.  As we walked and talked we looked at the water close beside us.  It was full of ships – of all sizes.  Full, like none of us have ever seen before.  They were sitting pointed this way and that.

As we walked I suddenly said: Look at the tugboats!

There were three tugboats sitting together.  Suddenly as we looked, one sank – instantly, quickly. 

And we continued walking.  As we went, from time to time, a ship would sink.  As we neared our town a large ship sank!  The largest so far. 

We rounded a building and the man walking with me said, “You boat is still out there.  It’s riding the waves.”

I turned and faced him.  And in one of those stark moments in such a dream/vision, I (my character in this dream/vision) said:

“You know what this means! 
It’s hours!
We’ve only got hours!”

And at that I woke up startled and highly upset and agitated.  It was perhaps 4:30 AM.  I went downstairs and thought about sending out a warning to all our ministry partners and friends.  I knew that was a message from God.  But as I thought and prayed, I realized I still have not finished one of the assignments God has given me.  So that “hours” must be more than a handful. 

I didn’t send out the immediate warning.  I thought and prayed more, and spoke to Cathy who came downstairs right away.  Later I shared with a few close ministry friends.  

But the message of this dream/vision to me was unescapable:  My instant sense upon awakening was that the time to the Lord’s return is very very short and that the ships sinking was a sign of things falling apart as they indeed are now in our secular world.  I was comforted by the remark by the man that my boat is still out there and is riding the waves.

I need to add that as I sat and prayed I suddenly fell asleep and was again in the same dream.  This time Cathy and I were continuing to walk to where we live, although in this dream/vision it wasn’t a house but rather a second floor apartment in a two floor apartment building along the shore.  We went up to the apartment.  I went in and suddenly I saw through the window facing the ocean a wave as high as the window.  I grabbed Cathy and left quickly.  And I woke up.

I think that coda was just to add emphasis to the primary dream.

Several comments need to be made:

·            We don’t know how many hours we have until the Lord returns.  None of us ever have.  It could be thousands.  But whatever it is, obviously it is a short period.
·         Ever since the Lord called me to begin focusing on his return, all his words – received directly, through dreams or visions, through perhaps others he has spoken to about me – have used terms like days to refer to this time before he returns.   The last days.  Now the term is hours.  I think the message is clear.
·         A few close to us have offered insights they have received regarding the ships, but I think the interpretation I have shared here is the one that most fits.  If you have some guidance from the Lord on this, please forward to us.

SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THIS?
·        Pray about it.  Seek God’s guidance for yourself.  Seek God’s confirmation for yourself.
·      If you are living at the coast or on an island, I think it’s time for you to think again about that, to consider where you live and continue to live and to seek God’s guidance.  And looking a bit more broadly, maybe also those of you who live in some other area frequently subject to really violent weather like tornados or earthquakes should do the same.
·     Certainly I don’t know each of your situations and what you need to do or not, but it is time now for you to seek God’s guidance on this.  Pray.  There are just too many signs and too much guidance of how close we are.  And again, the environment both natural and human gets tougher and tougher as we approach that hour of the Lord’s return. 
·        And once again as I say so often, tell others about the Lord and his imminent return.  Give them whatever you think they will listen to on this.  Give them our book WAKE UP AMERICA! or give them some of our CDs or newsletters.  Some people send our newsletter and other writings to others, by email or in paper form.  Pray for all you know do not know Jesus.  Pray for God to lead them to Jesus.  Remember in the end you cannot force anyone to believe.  God must lead them to that point.

* TIME FOR SOME CLARITY! WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM IN UNDERSTANDING!



Right now.

There are those who look at the United States, bewail the great fall away from God and the great increase in immorality, and then launch into a discussion of the impending judgement of God on America.

And there are those who look at recent events in the world – all the prophecies in the Bible fulfilled in recent years – and they see the imminent return of Jesus and the coming of the seven year Tribulation period.

And there is even a third group – those that look at the surprising election of Donald Trump and expect a resurgence of America.

We need some wisdom and discernment here:

1 – Overall the great move of our time is the move to the appointed Day of the Lord, the end of this age.  The fulfillment of so many Biblical prophecies in recent years after about 1900 years of none of these being fulfilled dramatically makes the point.  We are living in the last of the last days, the time of the end of the current age.  That is just plain cold fact.  Now part of the coming Tribulation period is the pouring out of God’s judgement on the nations.  Certainly that is about to happen.  Part of this end times scenario also is the coming of Jesus to collect his true believers, those who will be with him in the Kingdom.  The number going by all accounts in Scripture will be a small percentage even though the absolute numbers may be large.  Few is the word Jesus himself uses.

2 – Absolutely the fall of America away from God and the overwhelming fall in morality open the nation to God’s judgement.  But – considering point 1 above – is not all this just part of the prophesied falling away of the last days?  The judgement that is coming is not just a judgement on America but indeed a judgement on all nations.  The pouring out of God’s wrath will be terrible indeed, but fortunately and thankfully the true believers in the Lord will have been taken away by Jesus beforehand, for as Scripture tells us we were not appointed to suffer wrath.

3 – The surprising election of Donald Trump and some of the dramatic things that have ensued – the turnaround in the economy, the appointment of a conservative Supreme Court judge, and more – surely are encouraging to most believers and to conservatives.  But please note – has there been any change in the moral character of the society, of the culture?  Has there been a rush to more and more true believers in Jesus?  Hardly.  Nothing like this has happened thus far.  This election seems more of a gift from God of a sliver of time, a short period in which the increasing oppression of Christians in the US has been halted for the moment and they are free to do whatever they will to get the gospel and the return warning out to more and more here and in the world.  Without that election would not America already be at least like Canada in which the free speech of pastors has been greatly restricted? Probably far worse.

This seems to be a short period, a moment here at the end of the age.  And then it will be gone.  Make America Great Again is a good political slogan, but America is not moving to be great again in that popular sense.  It has fallen so terribly far.  The immorality of the country is disastrous, and it peddles that immorality to the world in its movies and television programs, its pornography, and more.


SO IN CONCLUSION

With the surprise presidential election of nearly 2 years ago, we believers have the opportunity to get out there more and more with the message of the gospel and to do all we can here and around the world as God guides us.  For a sliver of time.  A moment.

But the end of the age is upon us.  It will all happen at the appointed time.  God has a plan, his plan.  He has had it for a long time.

And yes judgement will fall on America, as it will in fact fall on the world.  All as part of the increasingly hard times as we approach the Day of the Lord and then specifically in the Tribulation period.

It all ties together.  It works.

America is not going to be “great again” in the sense many think and not at this time.  Perhaps in the millennium that follows?  Well, we don’t know much about that, do we.

* BEING THE WEATHERMAN


“When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”… – (Jesus speaking, Matthew 16:2-4 NIV)

In our modern America people watch weathermen all the time.  On local news programs, the weatherman occupies a huge proportion of the broadcasts.  Even if it is just to hear the temperatures and the forecast that the weather will be mild or may rain a bit, people are fixated on the weather.  These weathermen are not precisely accurate as we all know, but they generally are in the ballpark.  They do give a decent picture of what is coming the next day or two.  Of course, many normal people not weathermen can do that too, usually just by looking outside, or by looking at a map of isobars and isotherms.  They know the signs to look for.

So it was in Jesus’ day.  People could discern the immediate weather and what might happen the next day or so.  People had the ability to comment on the future as far as weather was concerned.

But notice – Jesus chastised the people for their inability to discern the times, to understand what of great significance was happening around them.  What was that?  God was in their midst as a human being.  They were getting teaching straight from God.  Miracles were happening.  And this Son of God was about to reconcile humanity to God.  But the bulk of the people could not see.  A few could a bit – Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, the disciples eventually, a few others.

Notice Jesus’ phrasing: a wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none other than the sign of Jonah will be given to it.  The mass of the people just could not see and understand.

And here we are today.  The time of the return of the Lord.  The bulk of humanity does not know nor recognize nor understand this.  The signs given are numerous – the fulfilled Biblical prophecies.  True believers whose spiritual eyes and minds are open see and realize and understand.  But today’s wicked and adulterous generation cannot see.  They can’t recognize the signs.  At all.

In past healing services and ministry programs I used to be amazed at how the Holy Spirit would come with such great power, touching so many so dramatically, and there would be wonderful healings.  People would sometimes even return to stand up and testify to the healings.  And I always wondered why didn’t everyone present run home and get all their neighbors and relatives and especially the sick and bring them back to the next program to receive and be healed.  But they didn’t.  Few indeed took that approach.  Only one time in an inner city area did we see this really - while leading a healing service we discovered a woman in the back calling everyone she knew and telling them to get down to the church right now.  She knew and saw what was happening.

But a wicked and adulterous generation does not.  Another way of saying that is that most people today - even those people who attend churches but are not serious spirit-led believers who know the Word and have the gift of discernment - do not understand and see.  They can’t grasp what is happening right before their eyes.

And now we are in the season of the Lord’s return.  It is imminent indeed.  Our coming new book WAKE UP AMERICA! is all about that.  The remarks of Anne Graham Lotz at her father’s funeral were all about that.

We started this talking about weathermen.  I am a real weatherman of this generation.  There are others, but not many I have discovered these past many years.  And I give you the forecast that truly matters.  Rather than temperature and pressure and rain forecasts, I give you Biblical prophecies fulfilled and interpretation of events and the assessment of just where we are and what is coming.  It’s a bit more important that the physical weather.  In Ezekiel God had another term for this weatherman role I have: he called it a watchman.

Many people do not want to hear my weather forecast.  A wicked and adulterous generation does not want to hear.  Ah, but the Nicodemuses and Joseph of Arimatheas and Peters and Pauls and others do and will.

It really is a remnant that is going with the Lord when he returns so very soon.  Narrow is the road that leads to life and few are they who find it.  Jesus said that (Matthew 7:14).  Not a lot of traffic on that road even today.  Hopefully there will be more.

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!
