Prophetic Words

"WHEN WORDS BECOME COMMONPLACE"



June18, 2003

2PE 1:19 And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. [20] Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. [21] For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

 "Has prophecy become commonplace to those who hear it in this hour? I tell you that it grieves my heart that there are so many words that are being sent out in this hour. There are words for every occasion and for every attitude and mood of the spirit. What is the purpose of prophecy? I tell you it is that men would be "built-up" in their most holy place. It is that they would be challenged. It is that they would be illuminated. It is that they would be given direction. It is that they would be given authority by Me to speak those words. But I tell you that some have become bland. They have been sent out not with my authority in them. They are void and they are tasteless. Who are these words for and what is the purpose that they have been sent out for? By Me, men spoke and were carried away by my spirit; but now not many are moved by my spirit. There are many words but many of them are filled like a desert are. They are without moisture. You see, my words are my spirit. They are meant to be "life-giving." I will take away those words that are said from a heart that is not for Me. I will take away those words that have become commonplace. I tell you that a time is coming when there will be fewer words of my spirit. Those that will be sent out will be sent out with a sense of urgency from Me. For the times are growing darker, and the days draw nigh to my soon return. So that being said, it will be a time of preparation. It will be a time of warning from Me. So, in the meantime choose your words carefully from Me. Spend more time listening rather than speaking. Balance these things with maturity and wisdom from Me. Then surely, my words will not become bland again. Surely, then they will become "life-giving."

"IDOLS HAVE COME INTO THE PROPHETIC REALM"

June 14, 2003

ISA 44:9 All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame.

JER 51:17 "Every man is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them.
 "There are many words that go out about Me in this hour. There are words that are meant to encourage, uplift and to comfort. These are some of the most basic words that I have been sending out to my servants in this hour. But I'm telling you something now. There will be a shortage of some of these in the near future. Gone will be the "usual" word of prophecy that is being heard. For I tell you now that many of them have become commonplace. People have grown accustomed to hearing these words. I am taking some of my servants to the next level. In this level they will learn to wait upon Me. And there is something else that is important to consider here: Some have turned their prophetic gift into an idol. It has become something to be worshiped. Some of you are not worshipping Me but the gift I gave unto you. You are playing with a dangerous thing. I have said that my gifts and callings are given without repentance, but that does not mean that I cannot take something away from you. "

(The Lord showed me a small carved statue. It was of Mother Mary. My attention and focus was then changed. I was climbing a ladder and as I approached the top of this ladder I looked out to the surrounding area around me and there was no one to be seen. It was rather desolate because of no one being there. I came down from the ladder and came into a room. I noticed that the room was rather old and dusty. I was in a kiva. This is the type of place that the ancient Indians used to worship in. I looked around me and noticed many rocks and various debris. I was given several rocks of some type and noticed a small pool of water beside me. The water was very dark in appearance. I then dropped several of these small rocks into the pool. I had a "sense" of what all of this meant, but waited upon the Lord for Him to reveal unto me the meaning. I noticed some of the people in the room. Many of their faces were wrapped with a cloth so that they could not see. It was as if they were mummies. I then climbed back up the ladder again. As I began climbing I noticed that the ladder was now taller. I climbed and climbed, and finally came to where the top was. As I went higher I noticed the walls of the room and saw that they were all of dirt. I approached the top of the ladder and looked out. All around me the ground and area was on fire and it was nearly impossible to step out into the area. I came down the ladder again and looked all around the room that I was in. I noticed several statues that were sitting at various places in the room. There was a niche carved into the sides of the room where each of these statues was. I wondered at this and said to the Lord, 'What are these Lord?' )

He then said, "These are statues of the idols of the prophetic gift. They have turned my gift into an idol. You are given the responsibility of showing this to them. My people suffer for lack of knowledge. It is a question of balance. The cloth around many of my prophets has prevented them from seeing. The ladder represents going to a new level. But I tell you that you cannot leave behind those that need your help. There are so many idols in the church; it is time to get rid of them. "

"STAY AT YOUR POST AND PRAY"



June 7, 2003

PHP 4:10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. [11] I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. [12] I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. [13] I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

MT 26:40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. [41] "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

 "Out of my mountain I am forming new servants in this hour. There are those who have been formed deep within my womb. They have been through the rain of my spirit and the sunshine. These are those that know nothing more than to spend time with Me. "

(I was shown a scene of the inside of a mountain rock. There was an area within the mountain where a person was residing. It was as if a section of the mountain had been dug out and there was a shelf inside it at this point. I then saw a mat on the floor and there was a person who was resting on it. The person lived there. I then saw him get up from his mat and begin praying. His entire time was spent at this location within the mountain. I looked again and then the person was not there. The mat was there upon the floor but there was no one upon the mat.)

The Lord then said:

"Look and tell Me, why do you not see someone at the mat? (I said, 'I don't know Lord.') Because they have left their post from where they were supposed to be. You see, I have positioned servants at various points within the mountain. Some enjoy nothing more than spending their time there with Me, but others wish to leave. They are needed at their post. They are needed to watch for Me. Without their watch at the post many will not be alerted as to what is coming. They have tired of their placement and their time spent there. I tell you that I will position others there where they were. They will attempt to return and their dwelling will not be the same. "

"I tell you, be satisfied where I have placed each of you. Be content with your placement and be content with your position. Each of you is needed and each of you has an important task to perform. "

"BEWARE OF SUBTLE DANGER"



June 4, 2003

[14] And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. [15] It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. 2 CO.

1PE 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. [9] Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

 "This is a time when people are going to be running 'to and fro trying to find answers to life's questions.'" Many will seek answers in the domain of the enemy. But I tell that what appears to be light will be exposed as darkness. Darkness is veiled in light, and even though it appears as light, its light has diminished from its source. Do not seek answers outside of my realm. It is dangerous ground once you step into that realm. The enemy has many enticing things that he wants to give to you. Do not let him reach out his hand to you. "

"There are many books that deal with the occult in this hour. What was once an ancient religion has now been brought to the forefront. I tell you that the door has been opened to his dark kingdom. He knows that he doesn't have much time left. He will muster all the subtlety and deception that he can in this hour. For you see, it is a game of life and death. It is a game that he has played for a long time. His agents are working furiously in this hour. They are attempting to mislead many. But I'm asking you not to be enticed by what he wants to give you. The gifts that he offers will turn to death and destruction. Once you take what he has to offer it is hard to turn back. There are many who have been exposed to the light, that have tasted what was good, and have now supped from his dark pool. It goes down to hell itself. There are many ministers and prophets who have fallen by the wayside. Consider this well before you decide about these things. His agents are waiting patiently to see who would come over to his side. They are skilled in these matters. They know the frame of the human spirit. They know that it is open to onslaught of various kinds. But I ask you my servants, to stand strong. Stand strong against his enticements. Stand firm in your resolve against him. "

"I tell you that the hour is ripe for these things to happen. The hour is ripe for him to work his evil schemes. "

"Behold.....I am coming soon, my people. My recompense is with Me, and I will swallow up death. Those who are wise will shine like the stars in the heavens. They will run and not be weary; and they will expose the schemes of the enemy in this hour. Don't play with fire, my people, but let my fire purge you of all evil. "

"Thus I have spoken, and thus I have decreed."

"SURELY I WILL HAVE A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE"



May 31, 2003

MT 24:15 "So when you see standing in the holy place `the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of through the prophet Daniel--let the reader understand-- [16] then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. [17] Let no one on the roof of his house go down to take anything out of the house. [18] Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. [19] How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! [20] Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. [21] For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. [22] If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her child the moment it was born. [5] She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. [6] The woman fled into the desert to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. Rev. 12

 "With the rising sun comes a rise in my spirit each day. Surely, my servants will come to new revelations of Me. This country and this land has been through much in the last few years. You have seen a breach of your security in New York City. You have seen thousands go because of this disaster. You have seen terrorism rise to new heights in the land. You have seen a new war break out and come to a close. Now as things begin to return to some kind of normalcy, reach your hands up to the heavens and seek Me. Seek Me in the midst of the clamor of this age. When the flood tides are rising I will be there in your midst. When the sun burns at its hottest I will be there. "

"I tell you that a time will come when this world will be brought to its knees. It will experience a lack of food and shortages of all kinds. The economy will suffer at the hands of unrighteous men. Never before and never again, will these things happen as they will during this time that is to come. But I tell you that a place will be provided for my servants. Those that flee to the desert will find a retreat there. They will be sheltered from the storms. They will have a hedge of protection around them. "

"Do not think that you will be "taken out of the disasters that are to come." You will not be taken out but you will be sustained through it. It will call for endurance and for faith. Study the scriptures and know my plan for my people. Then you will be prepared and then you will not be taken by surprise. "

"Surely, this time will come, and surely, I will have a plan."

Stephen Hanson

"BEYOND THE VEIL AND INTO OTHER AREAS"



May 24, 2003

"There is a spirit that is at work amidst some of my prophetic servants. Some have tired of the vision that I have given unto them. They have looked for a deeper channel and words to draw from. I tell you though, that they will find themselves in a difficult situation. They have looked not only beyond the veil, but also into the enemy's veil. They are beholding the vision of the enemy's veil. Be careful of revelation that you receive. Discern between what is light and what is dark. Is there clarity of vision or is it cloudy? Is it a world held by dominion powers, or do you have the freedom to break free of its grasp? Look into my written word. Draw your source of revelation and insight from the written word and from the living word of my Son. "

"Be satisfied with what I give unto you. Surely, I will give words that penetrate into the darkness. Surely, I will give words of what is to come. Surely, I will give illumination and counsel."

The Lord now showed me a short vision:

(I was watching as someone was looking into a mirror. It was an old oval-shaped mirror. As the person continued to look into the mirror they saw their face and appearance, but then decided to go into the mirror itself. The room was somewhat dark as they went into the mirror. I watched as the person's entire body escaped through the mirror itself. Now, after they had penetrated into the mirror itself, there was yet another mirror inside the outside mirror. They were within a wall or area, past the mirror. Now they looked into the mirror again and seemed to be captivated by what they had seen. As they continued to look into this mirror, I noticed a face that they were beholding. It was as if they were at first looking at the image of themselves, but now that image was of a face of something within or behind, the mirror that they were presently looking at. It was the shape of a face, but the face was of a spirit and not of themselves. )

Interpretation:
I believe that the Lord is saying here that some have tired of looking into the perfect mirror of revelation. They have attempted to "go through" unto the other side. But within and behind the other side there is a dark world and a vision that will not show the "image" of truth. Remember I Co. 13: [12] Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. If we desire to see "face to face" with the spirit of God and revelation, then we must be content with looking into the mirror that we normally look into. We must not attempt to go beyond the mirror into what is behind it. We will not find a true reflection of either ourselves, or of God and of His revelation unto us.

"KNOW THE PILLAR OF TRUTH"



May 17, 2003

[17] For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. [18] No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known. John 1

[20] Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. [21] But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." John 3

[23] Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. [24] God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4

[15] Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. [16] From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. Eph. 4

 "What is there to be found in this life apart from ME? What would you find that would be the answer to life's questions? What would you look for in your search for truth? I tell you that apart from Me there is no truth. I embody all truth. From Me, 'truth flows like a river.' And now you know truth, and it is said that 'you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.'

"I have come to give you a greater idea of what it means to have my truth within you. My servants will know my truth in the deepest recesses of their heart. Many claim to know Me but they do not know Me intimately. Truth will be one of the most important things for this world in the coming years. Many of my servants do not know Me as the author of truth in their lives. They know Me as their personal Savior, and they even know Me as deliverer, but not as truth. "

"The truth of the matter is that there is a great wave that is coming to the church. It is a wave that will sweep into every church corner. It will expose those who pretend to be of Me. It will bring to light those things hidden in darkness. For indeed, my light will shine upon some of you in even a greater capacity. You will behold that light and it will burn brighter and brighter. "

"Many think that they know Me as "the way, the truth, and the life. They may know Me as the way to the Father, and they may even have my life within them, but their hearts are still filled with the lies of men. When you still believe what man has to say about you over Me, then you still do not have my truth within you. I will bring experiences into your life where you will know more and more about truth. They will be experiences that will expose the sin in your life. They will be experiences that will burn away the chaff. For truly, my furnace is an example of my truth. For it refines you into the character of my truth. "

"Be an expression of my truth to the world. My truth is one of the main pillars and principles of my kingdom. Study that pillar and seek to understand its form. I will tell you more about the other principles of my kingdom later. In the meantime, seek to understand my truth."

"SEEK TO FIND THIS BALANCE"



May 12, 2003

Finding a proper balance and order in our lives is an important thing. Without a proper balance and focus, we can easily find ourselves caught-up in things that are not healthy for us, or that can get us off track. God has set order in the universe and He has provided for us a way to find this proper balance. Let us seek to find it, and then to walk it out.

COL 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. [16] For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. [17] He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. [18] And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. [19] For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, [20] and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

 "Everything stands in a balance. Everything stands in a balance with Me. The world as you know it, hangs in a balance as it travels around the sun. It is held in balance because of my law of gravitational pull. So it is with the stars, the planets, and all the other heavenly bodies.

"But you as well, are held in a balance. You are held in balance between your soul, and spirit, and body. You are a spirit at the core of your being. You possess a mind, and you live in a body. At the basis of everything in life there is a nucleus. Around this nucleus revolves protons, neutrons and electrons. Without my balance that I've provided, there would be no order. Without my balance, there would be no change in the seasons. But there is another need of balance. There is the balance of what you maintain ownership of what you dwell upon in your mind. There is a very strong need of maintaining balance between your soul and spirit. I have said that my word discerns between soul and spirit. Without my word, you cannot maintain this balance. Otherwise, you are living just in the soul realm, or just in the spirit realm. Seek to find this balance. There is a balance to be found in living out your life in a proper order. Learn to find the proper order. The proper order is not a way that you would plan for yourself. It is not something that you would think of yourself. Order is the nature of the universe, but it is not the nature of man. Ever since the fall of man order has been lost. But I established a new framework of order. Order is the standard by which I hold things together. There is order in the spiritual realm as well, and ministries are set in order upon this earth. "

"There is an order in the church, but it is the order of man and it is not the order of my spirit. The church is out of order. You still follow the same practices that you have for year after year. Bring order back to the church and bring order back into your lives as well."

Stephen Hanson

"EXPERIENCE ME IN A NEW WAY"


May 3, 2003

[8] For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. I Tim 4

 "Out of the depths of my Spirit I am pouring forth a new day unto you. The ancient pilgrims of the earth are marching. No weapon formed against them will prosper. I tell you that my people will rise to the occasion. There has been an assault planned on the people of God. The enemy has planned things deep in his musty land. He has formed an alliance with certain leaders. I tell you, that in the coming years you will see this alliance brought to the forefront. But in the meantime, my people, I ask you to train yourselves. I ask you to train yourselves because of the schemes of the enemy. You train for physical events. You train for the jobs that you hold. There are many things that you train for upon this earth. You cannot form a muscle unless you stretch it. Therefore, I say that you must stretch your spiritual muscles in Me. Be willing to go beyond the routine or the ordinary. Stretch beyond your present circumstances and boundaries. "

"Many of you have got yourselves into a spiritual rut. You are so used to the way that things have been going. You are just going through the motions with Me. You act as if you are in a liturgical service with Me. You stand up.....you sit down.....you pray a little.....I say that it is time to meet Me in a new way. If you meet Me in a new way then I will breath a fresh blast of air from heaven upon you. You will go out running amidst the trees and the rocks around you. For I will be your inner man. I will go before you. So now go and experience me in a new way. Get rid of your old perceptions. Get rid of your routines. Get rid of your regimented ways. Meet Me and I will meet you."

"A BLACK HORSE IS COMING"



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April 26, 2003

REV 6:5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. [6] Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

1KI 17:15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. [16] For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lord showed me a scene of a some people who were reaching out their hands in desperation. They had been on the ground and were in much need. Beside them stood the Lord. He stood there very still without moving. At first I thought that He was uninterested in them, but as they reached out to Him, He embraced them and took them in to Himself. I saw people next to an ocean and there were things from the sky that were hitting them below. They appeared to be like meteors and light that was falling on the ground. People were running and were cowering to hide themselves from this. Then the scene changed and there was a huge spoon. This spoon was scooping up stuff and was dropping it into a tall cylindrical building of some sort. This continued for some time until it was filled. There was various types of grain that was being deposited into this building as if for the days ahead.

"In the days ahead there will come a time when there will be a food shortage. Plan for the days ahead and prepare for them. The economy will become powerless to take care of these things. Look to Me for I will provide for your every need. The days will come when these things will come to pass. There will be an open heaven for many of my servants upon the earth. You will not run short of those things for I will multiply them unto you. Remember the widow who was met by the prophet Elijah. The oil and the wine did not run out. People will come to you because of the things that you have. Not only will they seek you out because of my Spirit , but they will come to you because they will be in need of food and bread. You will be provided for and you will be taken care of. "

"Remember that there will be a time of peace. It will be a delusion of what is really happening. But that horse that is sent will usher in these things. "

"SPEAK INTO THE HEAVENLIES AND TAKE DOWN THIS SPIRIT"


April 19, 2003

EPH 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, [2] in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient

2TI 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. [2] People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, [3] without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, [4] treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- [5] having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

 "You must be aware of the spirit that is at work among you. The world is being hammered and prodded by this spirit that is at work. You are entering a time when many of the things of the world are going to spill over into the church. A lot of new age practices and beliefs will be filtered in at this time. But you must remain firm to the sound doctrines of Christ. "

"Surely, I have said in my word that a time would come like this. And it is not just that people are looking for answers; to be sure, they are. It is the spirit at work behind things. This spirit will pervade all of the society in some ways. But you my people, must challenge this spirit. "

(The Lord showed me a scene of the world as seen from a distance. It was a simple globe floating in space, but then I noticed that a piece of cloth like burlap, was being wrapped around it, so as to prevent the people on the earth from "seeing." It seemed that the entire globe was being wrapped in this cloth. But then from the ground I noticed someone, a man dressed in the garb of an old testament prophet. He grabbed a bow and with it he shot into the air. On the end of the arrow that he shot was a hook of some type. This hook was then actually beginning to "pull down" the cloth that was wrapped around the world.)

"This is how you must approach this "system." With the words that I give you, you can shoot down this system. The world is blinded to much of these things. But I'm calling you to help take the blinders off. Speak into the heavenlies and take down this system. Then the world will begin to see as you see. "

"Thus would say the Spirit of the Lord."

"A FALSE PEACE OR A TRUE PEACE?"


April 15, 2003
1TH 5:1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, [2] for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. [3] While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

DA 11:36 "The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself above every god and will say unheard-of things against the God of gods. He will be successful until the time of wrath is completed, for what has been determined must take place. [37] He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. [38] Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his fathers he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. [39] He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.

 "A time of peace is coming. The world will be reigned by a man who claims peace for the world. Darkness will become as light. Night will become as day. The peace that will come at this time will not be a true peace. The world will be lulled into sleep by this peace. When people are saying, "Peace and safety," do not believe them. For when everything seems right sudden destruction will come upon them. The world is looking for peace, and many will be betrayed by this "false peace." This "false peace" will be leading people into a trap. The world will be at his finger tips, and commerce and society will be at his beck and call. He will set himself up as king in the most holy place. He will profane the most holy place. He will pretend to care for humanity, but his care has to do with what he can control. "

"These times will be hastening forward. The world will look for a leader who can deliver them. In the end he will fall because he is the man of perdition. This is the "false peace" but the Prince of Peace will come afterwards. Of his kingdom there will be no end. There will be no more wars and you my people, will reign with Him. The city of your God will enfold about you. Its walls will be your walls. Stone upon stone is being laid for you to abide there. The gates will always be open, and I will be your God. Of my kingdom there will be no end. All earthly rulers come to an end. Some rule as a wise son would, while others use their corruption to rule. My people, do not be deceived by this ruler who is coming. Do not be deceived by the false peace that he brings. But rather, look to the Prince of Peace and He will be your peace."

"LEARN THE WAYS OF JEREMIAH IN THIS HOUR"


April 12, 2002

JER 9:1 Oh, that my head were a spring of water and my eyes a fountain of tears! I would weep day and night for the slain of my people.

JER 18:20 Should good be repaid with evil?Yet they have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood before you and spoke in their behalf to turn your wrath away from them.

 "Out of the depths of my heart I send forth my spirit unto you in this hour. I send forth a spirit of weeping for the masses. I send forth the spirit of Jeremiah in this hour. Weep for a world that does not know Me. But I would call for a spirit that would weep as I weep. To know the outcome of a world that does not know Me would cause you to weep. Jeremiah was thrown into pits and was harassed in many ways. How many of you are willing to go through that? But I am asking you to take on my character; those who are totally abandoned unto Me. I am not looking for the miraculous. I am not looking for those who would do great things for Me. I am simply looking for those who would look to the world as I do. Many of my people go from conference to conference attempting to get to know Me. What you find out is about a certain type of miracle that you can perform. Certainly, those who do these things have their rewards, but to take on my character is its own reward. To weep as I weep and to laugh as I laugh is its own reward. "

"I would tell you that there are some within the body of Christ who are attempting to be magicians. They would perform miracles and they would speak for Me, but they would do it from another source. I don't ask for much, I simply ask that you would come to Me. I ask that you would come to Me and learn of Me. Then leave all your notions and all your pretences at my feet. "

"Learn the ways of Jeremiah in this hour. Learn how to abandon yourself as he did. "

"BE READY FOR THE EVENTS THAT WILL COME UPON THIS EARTH"


April 5, 2003

EZE 38:17 " `This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Are you not the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel? At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. [18] This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. [19] In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. [20] The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the ground. [21] I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man's sword will be against his brother. [22] I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. [23] And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.'

MT 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. [31] And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

 "The sounds of battle rumble in the east. All eyes and ears are caught up in the scenes that are coming forth. What if there were scenes of my second coming displayed on your TV screens? Would the world be caught up in the same type of frenzy? Unfortunately this event won't give you much time for preparation. The media or the journalists won't have time to interview Me. For it will happen like the lightning strikes forth in the sky. Will you be ready for this event though? At this time when I come, your military will have no power to change the course of those events. The battlescene will be hundreds of times bloodier than what is going on now. It will rise to the horse stirups. "

"So, when you watch the scenes that are being displayed on your television screens, consider these thoughts. Now know that the events that are taking place now will propel you into those pages of the last days. You will see a rise in the world around you of satanic activity. You will see the rise more and more of cultic leaders who will use their deception to mislead many. You will see governments topple and new ones spring up. If possible, the very elect will be deceived as well. So, be as the five wise virgins were who purchased oil for their lamps. They were not shut off from the wedding feast. Buy oil that is refined in the furnace. Have your eyes and ears enlightened to my spirit at all times. Then you will not be caught off-guard, and then you will be ready. "

"Watch the battle that is raging in the east, but know that an even greater battle rages at your soul. Your soul is the battleground for the enemy or for Me. Be ready for the events that will come upon this earth. "
Stephen Hanson

"I WILL RETURN WITH A SWORD"



March 29, 2003

[4] He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 2 Thes. 2

MT 10:34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. [35] For I have come to turn" `a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--

1TH 5:1 Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, [2] for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. [3] While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

 "The battle wages on and many of the troops in the United States have shown their bravery and their courage. But the real battle wages on in the world all around you. You have not seen the fierceness of the battle yet. I tell you that this tyrant has many things that he is yet going to do. Surely, he is hidden but you will find him out. After the smoke has cleared and the men have returned home, then what type of country will they return home to?"

"I have told you that this land will be changed. Homeland security has spent a lot of time and effort planning for these things. But where does your security lie? On the winds of war you will find out where your true security lies or not. This war will propel you into other things, I have said. What are those other things you have said? They are the events that lead up to my soon return. Nation will war against nation and then a time of peace will come. But beware of him who promises peace. My children you are living in the time when this new leader will rise to the occasion. He will promise peace but his allegiance is not mine. He will lift himself up above those who have gone before him. Surely, these things will come and surely you will live to see them play out. The pages of my prophetic timeline will come to the forefront. You think that there is a sword used in this battle, but it doesn't compare to the one that I will bring back with Me. For the sword that I will bring will divide between soul and spirit and between your family members. But with this sword you can battle against those things that wage against your soul. You will surely win the battle against your ancient foe. So, do not think that I am returning in the far future, for I am not. I come back for a body and for my bride. In the meantime, plow your fields and get your ground ready. "

"MY PROPHETIC TIMECLOCK IS TICKING"



March 19, 2003

ISA 55:9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

ECC 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

 "This world is going to be shaken and it is going to be shaken to its core. Everything that CAN be shaken will be shaken. You will be going through a time and a season when the world and its events will seem to show a lack of my concern. Let it be known that the wheel has been set in motion. I have set times and seasons for my calendar. You are entering a time when my calendar will show the unrest of mankind. These things have been long in coming, but "there is a time and there is a season for everything that is under heaven."

"Begin to see things from my viewpoint and not the world's. The world sees war, and tragedy, and loss as a sign of man's solutions to working out his problems. It is man's solution and not my own. However, let it be known that the world stands on the brink of my prophetic time table. Clearly these events that will soon take place that are seen on your television screens, will set in motion my prophetic time clock. This upcoming war will spill over and will accelerate my prophetic time clock. Events will come and will "blend" into other events. But you my bride will remain untouched by the fury of these things. They may affect your endurance for a while, but not your HOPE. For hope is not dependent upon external things, and hope that is seen is not hope. But even so, it is important to see the TIMEFRAME of all these things. I will give understanding and I will reveal the significance of these events to you. Clearly, countries will be identified and events will be seen as they relate to my prophetic time table. Study my word and I will give enlightenment where it is needed. The book of Daniel will begin to have more significance and relevance. Do not try to set dates, but you will see the significance of countries as they relate to my prophetic time clock. Clearly, these will be difficult times, and it is foolish to think that they won't be. Don't bury your heads in the sand, and pretend to ignore the events of the world. You are IN the world but not OF IT. So, watch and wait and understand the significance of these events as seen in relation to my WORD. My prophetic time clock is ticking. "

"LEARN OF THE ENEMY'S SCHEMES"


March 16, 2003

ISA 32:7 The scoundrel's methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

[11] Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. [12] For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph. 6

 "The signs of the times are everywhere. There are signs in the political arena. There are signs that things are intensifying. There are signs evident in other places in the world as well. You have had your focus on the Middle East and Iraq for some time now, but I will show you that there are other "danger spots" as well. I must tell you that this is one of the enemy's tactics. He draws attention to a particular area or thing, and gets our focus upon that, and then there are developments that take place in other areas. You have heard about North Korea, and I tell you that its head will suddenly come to the forefront. For surely you have known about these things and surely, you have seen them. But your gaze has been set upon Iraq. Your eyes have been diverted. Surely, an octopus has many arms and its reach is not just in one direction. I tell you that a force is building. It is building in places that you know not about. There are plans and schemes that are happening at this very moment. Watch and pay attention to political leaders who are not in the forefront. Pay attention to your peripheral vision as well as your primary vision. "

"If you are driving down a highway and are looking straight ahead, your focus is upon the road that lies in front of you. However, you know that it is wise to observe on either side of the road. These things are said as an analogy. It would be wise and prudent to apply them to your everyday lives as well. I will uncover his schemes though, and I will disclose what is done in secret. I will give the necessary insight and discernment to uncover these schemes. These things that happen in the natural world around you are signs of a spiritual principle that is at work. The world is not as it seems. There is an underlying core and spiritual world at work. Learn to know these things, and learn to not get diverted. "

"THE WORLD HANGS BY A THREAD"



ECC 3:8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

 "Look unto Me in the midst of the storm all around you. The world hangs in a balance waiting for the decision that will be made. The decision that will be made will affect the outcome of the world. What decision will be made? Do you not know that there is a time for war and there is a time for peace? What time do you think it is time for? Consider these things well for they are important ones. My word is a measuring rod and with it you will find the answers to these questions. "

(The Lord showed me a rope and it was suspended in mid-air above me. A single strand of this rope was left at one point in this rope, and all was being supported by this single strand. At the bottom of this rope was a huge ball that was swinging back and forth; very much like a wrecking ball that is used to destroy buildings. The ball swung back and forth and amidst it there was destruction. On the ground there were fires and debris from this destruction.....)

"In the midst of all these things around you keep watch upon the walls. Watch for sudden danger, and watch for surprises that come out along the wall. My prophets, continue to be the watchmen that I've called you to be. As I've said, the world hangs in a balance. It hangs by a thread. The decisions that will soon by made will affect the outcome of your world. Stand and watch and prepare my people. My recompense will come with Me. This battle will not be an easy one, but I will carry you through these times. Gird yourselves with faith and dress yourselves for battle. Dress yourselves according to the outlines given in Ephesians 6. Continue to lift up your leaders to Me. Pray that wisdom will be acted upon. If the whole world would pray then surely these things would have a different outcome. But I hear the prayers that those have lifted up to Me in this hour. "

"Justice will roll like a river and my kingdom will be ushered in. This war that is impending will usher in many of the things that are outlined in the book of Revelation. The world will be forever changed. A leader will come who will exalt himself above all others, but in the end he is doomed to perdition. You will be living the pages that are outlined in my book. As was once written, 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.' So, prepare yourselves for the days that lie ahead."

"WHICH VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO IN THIS HOUR?"



March 8, 2003

AM 3:7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.

 "What is the reason that you come to Me in this hour, says the Lord? Why is it that you come; is it just for an emergency or do you come because you want to come to Me? Be still and know that I am God. Come to Me in the stillness of your time and I will answer those questions that you have. Are they questions that have to do with doctrine? Then I will clearly show them to you in my word. Are they questions that have to do with the present crisis that your nation is facing? Then I will answer these questions, but I will answer them according to my prophets. Surely, I will not withhold anything from you in this hour. I have said in my word that "Surely the sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to His servants the prophets." I will surely reveal these things to you in this hour. I have said much to you already from my prophets. I ask you though to "weigh" the words that are being said in this hour. Some speak from presumption. Some speak from wanting to be heard. Some speak from their own spirit. Some speak from a false spirit. Can you discern the voices in this hour, says the Lord? "

"You have the voices that cry out to you from the media. You have various people who offer their opinions. You have experts and you have "would-be" experts. You have those who merely report the news and you have those who color the news according to their own whims. Can you discern the voices? Come to Me and I will give you the answers that you seek. I will speak clearly if you have ears to hear. I am the expert and there is none other. Why would you go to another when I am right here? "

"In conclusion, I don't want my people to fear in this hour. However, again I have said that I want you to be prepared. Surely, the events that are happening around you spell out the present crisis that you are facing. Surely, you can see that it is all coming to a head. So be prepared for the onslaught that is coming. Know that I will protect you; but don't ignore the onslaught as well. An eagle flies to her nest to take care of her chicks during a storm. You will be save under the pinions of my wings as well. "

"HAVE HOPE BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE, BUT BE PREPARED AS WELL"


March 1, 2003

GE 11:5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. [6] The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. [7] Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

[8] The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." John 3:8

 (In the midst of any storm there is always hope. Hope does not disappoint us because God's spirit is being poured into us. We need to see beyond the immediate circumstances of our present situations, whether we are referring to the present war that is impending or things that are occuring in our own personal lives. That being said, and hope being offered to us by His spirit, we also need to be prepared for what lies ahead as well. So with preparation and hope given to us, we can then be "more balanced" in our approach to the events that play in our lives and in the world around us. Finally, while God has laid out the events that will occur in our future and have been given to us through His word, He doesn't want us to wrangle about dates, interpretations, and the like. He wants us to be prepared, but not having petty arguments and disputes about these matters. )

"Out of the north wind I AM blowing with my spirit. I send a new message unto my people. It is a message in the midst of the storm. For you see there is always hope. Even though the world is in a very dark place. I AM the light of the world and that light will pervade the darkness. Out of the north wind I come. I come with the wind, and I blow with my spirit. I blow and I will resurrect all of you on that day. "

"In ancient times my people were scattered unto the four corners of the earth. This was done because of the great tower that they were building. So I sent a spirit of confusion giving them different languages. A different tower has been resurrected in these days. Each man has built his own tower in the name of his own ministry. Some of you have tried to reach to the clouds, but I tell you that you will be scattered. The tower that you build should be the tower in my name. It is not to be the tower of your name. "

"Now, considering the matters of this war with Iraq: It has been said again and again that much blood will be shed. It has also been said that the events of this war will hurl you into other things. And those other things are the events that are outlined in the book of Revelation. But my people, I don't want you to wrangle about these things. I don't want you to try to figure out the why, when, and where of these things. I say them so that you might be prepared. And again, though, even in the midst of this war, I offer hope. For hope sees beyond the current crisis; and this hope is the "north wind" that I AM speaking of. See beyond the immediate situation. "

"I will come and I will offer you a new stone in my name. I will strengthen my church for the days that lie ahead. Have hope beyond the immediate but be prepared as well. "

"WHAT LEGACY WILL YOU LEAVE"?



Feb. 24, 2003

There comes a time when diplomacy has run its course. We are all too aware of the events that play out before us concerning our present plight with Iraq and even North Korea. I don't pretend to know what the right strategies should be for us as a people and as a nation. I do however, know that God is sovereign and that He will see us through. Some of us who have spoken in this hour concerning these things are sometimes labeled as "doomsday prophets." Let it be said that in the midst of any storm there is hope beyond it. In the midst of any strong prophetic word or apostolic teaching, there is hope and comfort in it as well. However, I believe that it is also good to have a strong dose of reality as well. I would rather know what will befall us as a nation and to be prepared for it when these types of things occur, rather than hear the sweet platitudes of "sweet words" that are not the case.

PR 28:15 Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked man ruling over a helpless people.

MT 26:52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

"A great storm is brewing in the east. This storm will ignite many things. Get ready, for I tell you that things are going to be changing. Once the tip of the iceberg is exposed it will then take action. I am speaking of the present war that you are facing. Those who lift up the sword will die by the sword."

"Do you think that Saddam Hussein will step down from power? Will someone who has stood his ground for this many years step down from power? Surely, the dam will break and the water will come tumbling out. I say, "Sound the alarm and run to your prayer chambers." Will you stop terrorism and will you stop this evil that has spread throughout the globe? I say that you can cage a lion but you can't take care of the whole jungle. Someone thinks that they are the king of the jungle, but their food is going to run out."

"America, you are faced on either side. You are flanked by Iraq and also with North Korea. I tell you that diplomacy is running out. The world's voices cry out for peace, but the cry that they hear will be Ramah weeping for her children. There will be many who will perish in the battle. Who holds the standard, and what is the cause that you are fighting for? These are questions that need to be answered. What kind of legacy will you leave for your children? When will the world be a safe place to play? And will you be free afterwards?

"DO I DESIRE WAR OR PEACE"?


Feb. 22, 2003

[6] You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. [7] Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. [8] All these are the beginning of birth pains. Matt. 24

REV 6:3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" [4] Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

 "Many are seeking to and fro for the answers for what is happening around them. Many who seek Me believe that I am a God of war and of vengenance. I am not. But I tell you that man has propelled himself into these things. Many are the decisions of man that have gone astray from my original plan. Consider all of the wars that have happened throughout the ages. Many of them could have been prevented. Fear and retaliation beget fear and retaliation. But there are other things that happen as well. Part of this that is impending is that my prophetic plan is unfolding. On one hand it is true that many of the wars throughout history could have been prevented, but on the other hand, I have a prophetic plan for the ages. In my plan it is written that there will be many wars and rumors of wars. The final battle will be fought on the fields of Armageddon. I am not saying that this war that you are approaching is that final battle. But I am surely saying that with this war, you will be ushed into the events that lead up to that final battle. Many preach peace and march around for an end to this war. While I desire peace the chess pieces have already been moved. "

(The Lord showd me a horse. It was standing in profile in the distance. It was in the midst of clouds and was ready to come towards me. It was standing there awaiting its call to come forward. Upon this horse was a man who held a sword in his hand. As I continued to watch this horse I knew in my heart that the horse was referred to as the horse of war. From behind this horse then was another one. Upon this horse rode a man who was dressed as a Civil War soldier. This horse I believe, represented the United States.)

"There are some who believe that many of my prophets are preaching fear in this hour. I do not desire any of my children to be in fear. But if you see the storm approaching is it not good to know how to prepare for it? I desire my people to be ready and to be prepared. Seek Me above the clamor. There are many voices who preach many things in this hour. What is it that you preach? Is it in defense of yourself or is for Me? Quiet your hearts my children, and climb unto my lap and be ready. "
