A Church Quake: ‘Come Again, Holy Spirit’ - dream by James Goll

A Church Quake: ‘Come Again, Holy Spirit’

 3/9/2015 JAMES W. GOLL  charisma magazine

Will James Goll's prophetic dream come true? (Will James Goll's prophetic dream come true?)

One of the most consistent ways the Lord speaks to me is through the avenue of dreams. Many of my writing and speaking assignments are given to me in such a manner. Prayer assignments over the years have almost always come in the forms of visitations and visions. This is true especially if it is a strategic assignment.

While ministering in Brazil a couple years ago, I was seeking the Lord for His mind and thoughts concerning future movements of the Holy Spirit. I went to sleep in my hotel room in Belo Horizonte and woke up out of a "stunner of a dream." The manifested presence of God was riveting on my body as an aftereffect of this dream encounter. It shook me.

I SAW SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS A WOMB FOR THE BODY OF CHRIST!

Like an eagle in flight, I was hovering over the globe in search of a place to land. Suddenly the entire west coast of the United States came before me. I was zoomed in upon the state of California and with the eye of an eagle I saw glimpses of redemptive purposes and plans.

I then turned in flight over portions of southern California and I saw something that seemed unusual. Southern California was a womb for the body of Christ. She had been used to conceive the Word and the Spirit over the last 100 years of the church and to bring forth different movements of God.

My "knower" was on high alert as I flew over Los Angeles and Orange County that this womb had already received another word—implanted at least a year earlier—and that another long-term, almost overdue, birth was imminent. I then soared over Pasadena and the next thing I knew, the eagle suddenly flew into the historic Mott Auditorium on the hallowed grounds of William Carey University.

I SAW JOHN WIMBER STANDING ON THE PLATFORM!

The Mott Auditorium was packed with worshipping believers with standing room only. The place was electric with the presence of God. Rabid worship was happening with occasional authoritative declarations by various leaders. I noticed a few desperate pastors know crying out with anguish for God to visit them once again. Then things suddenly shifted.

All of a sudden, the late John Wimber, former leader of the Vineyard Movement and voice for the Third Wave, was firmly standing on the newly purple-carpeted platform. The cultural atmosphere was now pregnant with a realm of the glory and the thick majesty of God. Then I heard and felt the voice of John Wimber echo an invitation that rattled the entire place. He simply declared, "COME AGAIN, HOLY SPIRIT!"

People starting crashing to the floor en masse under the impact of the power and authority that resonated in those simple words. Once again another sound wave was released: "COME AGAIN, HOLY SPIRIT." It was not gentle Jesus showing up or the comforting dove of God manifesting. It was not just another renewal or revival meeting—though it seemed to include all of those qualities. It was the violent invasion of heaven entering a time and space world. It was a church quake.

I felt the reverberation coming off the sound waves of the voice of the invitation. It shook the very building, the grounds and all those present. The fear of the Lord fell and an earthquake of a 5.7 magnitude resulted. The quake resulted in an anointing resting on Psalm 57: "Be gracious to me, O God, be gracious to me. For my soul takes refuge in You; And in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by. I will cry to God Most High, to God who accomplishes all things for me. He will send from heaven and save me."

People screamed in terror as the entire grounds and buildings were rattled by the sound of God's voice being heard and felt once again. Signs and wonders broke out but it appeared as an aftereffect, not the primary goal. Then a third time I heard the pronouncement from John Wimber: "COME AGAIN, HOLY SPIRIT!" People crashed onto the floor in droves.

As I pen this, I just now realized some things I had forgotten. I was reminded of them as they just flashed suddenly within me as I compose this. I also saw the late Jill Austin, one of the fieriest prophetesses of the last decade, gazing in upon what was happening and smiling. I heard her laugh echo over the occurrence as to say, "I told you He was coming!"

I saw a great cloud of witnesses including Aimee Simple McPherson and others who were gathering around to peer in upon this strange outbreak. The convergence of old anointings—still seemingly resident upon California—were now colliding.

SUDDENLY I WAS AWAKENED!

My senses were heightened. It was July and I was ministering in Brazil—a land pregnant with revival—but suddenly it appeared to be another season. It was autumn—right at the time of the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah. Then pages of a book flipped quickly from one chapter of time to another and suddenly it was 40 days and nights later. I smelled smoke in Mott Auditorium as if the place had been filled with the burning fiery sacrifices of violent praise and worship. I smelled burnt flesh. I smelled aromas of life and death simultaneously at work.

Short messages from different anointed vessels were a part of this new sound wave but again it was not the main thing. Miracles happened—they just suddenly occurred. But again, this was not the aim. It was not why the people even assembled. Yes, there were even short passionate pleas and desperate cries for help! But even that was not the central focus. This move of God centered on the radical worship of the One—Christ Jesus the Lord—and the welcoming with abandonment of the third person of the Godhead—the Holy Spirit! The jealousy of God permeated the experience.

It was not a conference. It was not polished. It was not even 24/7 as we presently know it. It was raw and overpowering. It was not rehearsed. It was an invasion of the Holy Spirit Himself.

A window of opportunity had opened and this uncontrollable surging sound wave jumped spontaneously around the globe. A man appeared on a pogo stick gleefully jumping from city to city and nation to nation. The man on the stick was William Seymour of the historic Azusa Street Revival. He leapt across the nations and everywhere his pogo stick landed, light came for a brief moment! The nations were in an uproar—and fire and light were falling around the globe.

THEN I HEARD ONE LAST WORD

"A Line Has Been Drawn in the Sand." Terror gripped me. I shook. I honestly did not know what was coming next. I still do not know having pondered deeply on this experience. Was it Days of Glory or impending societal chaos? Was it times of economic collapse or reformation where a new order was created out of tumultuous uncertainty? I honestly was left not knowing what the outcome or the result was or would be.

But this I knew. Hope for the fragmented body of Christ and the nations was being released. An invitation was being sent from heaven to earth and a line was being drawn in the sand.

The word went in me. The word penetrated me. The word has disturbed me. But this I know, heaven has a word that must be heard in the earth realm, "COME AGAIN, HOLY SPIRIT!" And the invitation must have an urgent and appropriate response.

In a cinematic one-night event, Pastor John Hagee's best-selling book, Four Blood Moons, is slated to hit theaters this month.

Through the lens of scripture, science, and history, the big-screen production will examine the significance of the blood moons cycle for Israel, the Middle East, and the rest of the world.

"The heavens are 'God's billboard.' He's been sending signals to earth, and we haven't been picking them up," Hagee said.

"Two blood moons, in 2014 and 2015, point to dramatic events in the Middle East and, as a result, changes in the whole world," he said.

CBN's Erick Stakelbeck, who spoke to Hagee last year about his book, also makes an appearance in the movie.

Four Blood Moons is scheduled to open March 23. For more information, visit the film's website.

Three existential threats facing America - Joel Rosenberg

Three existential threats facing America. (My address to the National Religious Broadcasters convention.) by joelcrosenberg

Addressing the NRB Convention.

(Tucson, Arizona) -- Last month, I addressed the closing dinner of the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville. Last night, I addressed a conference of pastors and ministry leaders here in Tucson. The message here was nearly the same as at NRB. People have been asking me to share my notes because of the urgency of the subjects I discussed. So I am posting them here tonight.

The following is the formal message I prepared for the NRB Convention. While I did not deliver the speech verbatim, you will get the essential points I made that night.

WHEN YOU SEE A SWORD COMING:Three Existential Threats Facing America

• Joel C. Rosenberg
• Address to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention
• Nashville, Tennessee
• February 26, 2015

My text tonight is Ezekiel chapter 33, verses one through nine. It is a famous passage -- one that you all know -- about the role of the "Watchman on the Wall." I believe it is deeply relevant to our times.

33 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people and say to them, ‘If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, ³ and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people, ⁴ then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. ⁵ He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. ⁶ But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.’

⁷ “Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. ⁸ When I say to the wicked, ‘O wicked man, you will surely die,’ and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand. ⁹ But if you on your part warn a wicked man to turn from his way and he does not turn from his way, he will die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your life.

More than 2,500 years ago, the Lord spoke these words to the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel.

• A man of God
• Born in Israel
• Exiled and living in Iraq
• Amidst grave dangers rising

What was Ezekiel commanded to do? The text is clear.

• Listen to God
• Watch for threats
• Warn the people, come what may

This was a divine calling – an enormous responsibility. And God was clear. Some would listen to Ezekiel’s warnings. Some would not. Ezekiel was not going to be held responsible for the decision others made to obey the Lord or not. He would be held responsible for obeying the Lord, teaching people the Word of God and warning the people when God told him to speak. Fortunately, Ezekiel was faithful to the task.

As followers of Jesus Christ -- and as pastors and ministry leaders and religious broadcasters -- each of you are, in our modern times, also watchmen on the walls. In many ways, you have the same calling. The same responsibility.

• To listen to the Word of God, found in the Bible
• To speak the Word of God -- to tell people the bad news and the good news according to the Scriptures
• To warn people of threats that are rising
• To speak the truth in love, come what may

God warned Ezekiel -- as He warns us today -- that if He speaks and we don't share His Word with others, we will be held to account. What's more, if we see threats rising, and we do not warn people, we will be held to account.

Tonight, as I look out America, I see three existential threats.

• Threat #1 -- What if America is not simply in a season of decline but heading towards collapse, towards implosion?
• Threat #2 -- What if America is not simply at rising risk of attack by Radical Islam but heading towards the risk of annihilation by Apocalyptic Islam?
• Threat #3 -- What if America is not simply entering a season of strained relations with Israel but heading towards total abandonment of the Jewish State?

Let’s take those one by one.

IMPLOSION

Threat #1 -- What if America is not simply in a season of decline but heading towards collapse, towards implosion?

In 2012, I wrote a non-fiction book called, Implosion: Can America Recover From Her Economic & Spiritual Challenges in Time? I commend it to your attention because every passing day I believe the analysis is proving to be true and its message is becoming more urgent. The nation – and the Church – must know how much danger we are in. If we are silent, or if we soften it around the edges, we will be held to account before the Lord.

In the State of the Union address in January, the President covered a range of issues and challenges that we face, but this was his central case. “No challenge -- no challenge -- poses a greater threat to future generations than climate change."(SOTU, January 20, 2015)

I respectfully disagree. There is a long list of reasons America faces implosion, but I can sum it up in one number: 58 million.

Since 1973, Americans have aborted 58 million babies. Think about that -- 58 million. It is a staggering number. And if something doesn’t happen soon to change course, in less than two years we will hit 60 million.

If this happens, we as Americans will have murdered ten times more human beings than the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis.

We know the judgment of God that fell upon Nazi Germany. What do we think is going to happen to a nation that exterminates ten times more people than the Nazis?

The judgment of Almighty God is coming. There is no way out. The souls of 58 million babies are crying out for justice – and they will get it.But for this to happen we need to be pleading with God to have mercy on us. We need to be calling people to prayer, fasting and above all repentance.

I’m grateful for pastors like Ronnie Floyd, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Bible teachers like Anne Graham Lotz who are calling the Church to precisely this. May their tribe increase.

As watchmen, are you warning America of the coming implosion? Are you calling the Church and nation to prayer and fasting and repentance? Is there more that you can do? Let us be found faithful, for I believe our time is running out.

RADICAL ISLAM AND APOCALYPTIC ISLAM

Threat #2 -- What if America is not simply at rising risk of attack by Radical Islam but heading towards the risk of annihilation by Apocalyptic Islam?

There are two core themes in my books, both novels and non-fiction:

1. To misunderstand the nature and threat of evil is to risk being blind-sided by it.
2. Evil, unchecked, is the prelude to genocide.

On December 7, 1941, we were blindsided by an evil we did not understand.

It happened again on September 11, 2001.

The 9/11 Commission Report stated that the attacks perpetrated by al Qaeda were “not a failure of intelligence but a failure of imagination.” Despite all of the data that was pouring in, our leaders in Washington simply never imagined that such an attack were possible.

Fourteen years later, we have a President who refuses to define “Radical Islam” as the source of the threat we face in the Middle East and North Africa.

• Running in 2008, said Iran was a small country and did not pose a serious threat to us
• January 2014: said ISIS was a “jayvee” squad, not a serious threat
• August 28, 2014: “We don't have a strategy yet” to defeat ISIS.
• January 20, 2015: didn’t mention Islam or Islamism or AQI in his SOTU address

My friends, we cannot defeat an enemy we refuse to define.

The threat of Radical Islam is a very serious threat to us and our allies.

Consider the words of Jordan's King Abdullah, not only a Muslim but a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.

• we are in a “Third World War”
• “This is a war inside Islam. So we [Muslims] have to own up to it. We have to take the lead. And we have to start fighting back.”
• “This is a Muslim problem. We need to take ownership of this. We need to stand up and say what is right and what is wrong.” (interview on CBS 60 Minutes, December 5, 2014)

The King and his senior advisors get it. They aren’t Radicals, but Reformers. And they are actively engaged in fighting the Radicals militarily, diplomatically, politically, financially, and even theologically.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi also gets it. He, too, is a Muslim – and he, too, is engaging the fight on multiple fronts.

Consider his speech on January 1, 2015 at Al Azhar University in Cairo:

• “Is it possible that 1.6 billion people [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world's inhabitants...so that they themselves may win? Impossible.”
• “We are in need of a religious revolution. You imams are responsible before Allah. The entire world is waiting for your next move.”

The President insists that we are not at war with Islam. Obviously. The vast majority of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims are not a danger. But research shows that 7% to 10% of Muslims worldwide do support violent jihad. That's upwards of 150 million people. If it were a single country -- the Islamic Republic of Radicalstan -- it would the world's 9th largest, just ahead of Russia (146 million).

But the threat we face is not simply from Radical Islam. Indeed, it not even primarily from Radical Islam at this hour.

The most serious threat we face in the Middle East and North Africa is what I call “Apocalyptic Islam.”

This is a term each of needs to become familiar with and begin to teach others.

For the first time in all of human history, we have not just one but two nation states who rulers are driven not by political ideology -- or even mere religious theology -- but by apocalyptic End Times eschatology.

• The Islamic Republic of Iran today is ruled by an apocalyptic, genocidal death cult.
• So is the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
• The former are Shia. The latter are Sunni.
• Both believe the End of days has come.
• Both believe their messiah – known as the “Mahdi” -- is coming at any moment.
• Both are trying to hasten the coming of the Mahdi.
• Yet each has entirely different strategies.
• ISIS wants to build a caliphate.
• Iran wants to build The Bomb.
• ISIS is committing genocide now.
• Iran is preparing to commit genocide later.

In the near term, ISIS is more dangerous. Why? Because ISIS is on a jihadist rampage right now. Robbing. Killing. Destroying. Enslaving. Raping. Torturing. Beheading. As Americans, we dare not turn a blind eye to this threat. If we don't defeat the jihadists over there, they are coming here. We must act, and act now.

That said, as Christians we have different responsibilities. The government’s job is to defeat and destroy our enemies. Our job as Christians is to love our enemies, and all those who are living under their reign of terror.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we must not be blind to the enormous suffering inside the Muslim world, nor deaf to their cries for help, nor dull to the tyranny we face. Christ commands us to love them, to serve them, to bless them, to tell them the good news that they may have life. We must act, and act now.

Longer term, Iran is the most dangerous, especially if the President approves this nuclear deal that is emerging. Why? Because the apocalyptic leaders of Iran are biding their time to build a nuclear arsenal capable of killing millions of people in a matter of minutes.

Far too few people in the West truly understand the nature and threat of Radical Islam, much less that of Apocalyptic Islam. Indeed, many dismiss these concerns all together. But it is empirical fact that a deep and widespread belief exists within the Islamic world that we are living in the End of Days.

According to a 2012 report by the Pew Research Center, “in most countries in the Middle East and North Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia, more than half or more of Muslims believe they will love to see the return of the Mahdi.” That's more than 750 million Muslims.

• Egypt -- 40% of Muslims believe the return of the Mahdi is imminent.
• Jordan -- 41%
• Palestinians -- 46%
• Iraq -- 72%

What’s more, the report found that an enormous number of Muslims believe that Jesus is coming back to earth (to serve under the Mahdi.)

• Jordan -- 29% of Muslims believe Jesus is coming back to earth
• Egypt -- 39%
• Palestinians -- 46%
• Iraq -- 64%

Apocalyptic Islamic eschatology is a photographic negative of Biblical eschatology. The leaders of Iran and ISIS believe the way to hasten the coming of the messiah to kill as many people as possible. The followers of Jesus Christ, on the other hand,  believe the way to hasten the coming of the messiah is to save as many people as possible. (Matthew 24:14)

Which brings me back to you -- the watchmen on the wall.

• Are you warning the nation of the “coming sword” – the threat of both Radical Islam and Apocalyptic Islam -- and explaining to people their similarities and their differences?
• Are you urging the Church to fulfill the Great Commission by preaching the gospel and making disciples of all nations, including Muslim nations?

Let us not simply tell the bad news. Let us tell the good news. And there is much good news. Since 1979, more Muslims have come to faith on Christ and renounced Islam than in the last 14 centuries of Islam combined.

So now is not the time to cower in fear. Now is the time to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit -- with courage and conviction -- because “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ.”

ISRAEL

Which brings me finally to Threat #3 -- What if America is not simply entering a season of strained relations with Israel, but we are heading towards total American abandonment of the Jewish State?

• Genesis 12:1-3 -- God says He will bless those who bless Israel and the Jewish people, and curse those who curse them.
• Joel 3:2 -- God warns the nations that He will judge all who divide the Land of Israel.
• Ezekiel 38-39 -- God warns that a group of nations will attack Israel in the "last days" but no nation will come to Israel's defense.
• Revelation 16 -- God warns that all nations in the End of Days will attack Israel.

The Bible teaches us that all nations will turn against Israel in the last days -- and all nations will face judgment for it -- but woe into us if it happens on our watch.

Have we come to that fateful moment? It is not yet clear. Still, we are watching the President:

• negotiate an incredibly dangerous deal with Iran
• refuse to share the details of this detail with Israel, America’s most faithful and trusted ally in the region
• refuse to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister when he came to address a Joint Session of Congress on matters of existential importance to both of our nations.
• send the VP and Secretary of State out of country to avoid seeing the Prime Minister
• send his political strategists and operatives to defeat the Prime Minister and his party in Israel’s elections (March 17^th)

This is the most dangerous moment in the history of the U.S.-Israel relationship.

What do the next two years hold?

I’m not sure. But this much I know: on top of all America’s national challenges and sins, we dare not also abandon or turn against Israel and the Jewish people. If we do, we will seal our fate with God.

Which brings me back to you -- the watchmen on the walls.

Are you warning the nation and the Church of the dangerous road the President has us on vis-à-vis Israel?

Are you mobilizing Christians to love and bless and pray for and stand with Israel and the Jewish people in this critical hour?

CONCLUSION

I am afraid I cannot tell you whether God will grant America a Third Great Awakening and/or raise up a King like Josiah (see 2 Chronicles 34-35) and thus forestall the coming judgment.

I cannot tell you whether the American government will do its job to protect us and our allies from Radical and Apocalyptic Islam before it’s too late.

Or whether the Church will do her job in fulfilling the Great Commission and standing with our persecuted brothers and sisters in the epicenter.

Or whether America and the Church will stand with Israel and bless her and the Jewish people.

All I can tell you is that you and I have been called to be watchmen on the walls.

Our job is to:

• Listen to and study and know the Word of God
• Teach the Word of God
• Watch for threats
• Warn the people, come what may

We are not going to be held responsible if people do not listen to us or to the Word of God. We will be held to account if we fail to speak and act when the Lord commands us to do so.

Much is hanging in the balance. May you and I be found faithful to the task.

WATCH: Christian Wears Cross on Streets of Israel

Wednesday, March 11, 2015 |  Israel Today Staff

Israeli journalists and other Jewish activists made headlines last month after they walked the streets of Paris, London and other European cities while wearing a kippah (Jewish head covering).

In every instance, the Jewish man was insulted, harassed and even threatened numerous times.

A young Arabic-speaking Israeli Christian decided recently to do something similar by walking the streets of a major Israeli city while wearing a large, conspicuous cross around his neck.

The results were very telling. See below:

Roy Moore: What Gay Marriage Fight Is Really About

By John Jessup

CBN News Anchor

Wednesday, March 11, 2015

Ad Feedback

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- As a Vietnam War veteran, Roy Moore is no stranger to a fight. But today he's engaged in a battle of a different kind – one being waged in the courts.

Moore, Alabama's Supreme Court Chief Justice, is an ardent and outspoken supporter of traditional marriage.

His latest move stirred the debate into a frenzy, when he ordered Alabama's probate judges to stop granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples after U.S. District Court Judge Callie Grenade struck down the state's constitutional amendment upholding traditional marriage and preventing gays from taking their vows.

The measure, known as the Sanctity of Marriage Amendment, which defines marriage as an "inherently" and "unique" "sacred covenant" between a man and a woman, was approved by 81 percent of the state's voters in 2006.

"To me it boils down to the simple fact that federal courts across this land have mandated their will, unlawfully, over the people of the states," he told CBN News in an exclusive interview at his office. "Thirty-seven states didn't legalize [same-sex marriage]. Federal courts came in and mandated they accept this."

The conflicting orders put the state front and center in the national debate over marriage, making Alabama the first state to defy a federal judge's ruling on the issue.

It is now as much of a case on state courts versus federal courts as it is a question of states' rights versus equal rights.

"This began not as defiance of a federal court order. In fact, I was simply clarifying for the court and everybody else in the state of Alabama that this one federal judge did not have authority to issue orders to the probate courts who were not under her case and not involved in the case," Judge Moore explained.

He told CBN News that before giving his order, he asked the governor and state attorney general to get involved and issue an executive. Neither did.

"There's a lot of feeling out there that this was embarrassing to the state and somehow it would cost revenue and loss of jobs - at least that's what the governor said. I feel otherwise," he said.

"I think to stand up for the moral foundation upon which the nation is based and which our faith is based and our laws are based is very important and could not let these marriages occur," he said.

Moore's position is that state courts have just as much authority to interpret the U.S. Constitution as the federal courts do, and that the debate over marriage isn't about equal protection.

Instead, he says it's about redefining an age-old institution that has long formed the foundation of families.

"No federal court, to include the U.S. Supreme Court, has authority to go into the Constitution and define the word marriage. Marriage was defined long before our country began," he told CBN News.

"If we allow federal courts to intrude into the subject of marriage, then they will intrude into the subject of parent and child and husband and wife. And this is very important because this won't end with two men getting married or two women getting married," Moore warned.

Critics call Moore a bigot, homophobic, and intolerant. Some have even compared him to former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who infamously fought a federal government order to integrate the University of Alabama.

Moore disagrees.

"This is about sexual preference. The other is about a natural genetic makeup which should not be discriminated against," he said. "And when you're talking about these things, you're mixing something up with racial discrimination, which is not discriminating on the basis of a preference."

Moore recently received support for his argument from one of the most unlikely places: The New York Times.

In a recent opinion piece titled, "What Alabama's Roy Moore Got Right,"he was described as "provocative and out-of-touch," but the article added, "As for the word 'marriage,' Moore is right that the Supreme Court cannot mandate how we use a word, any more than it can create a social institution on its own."

"When the liberal newspapers, The New York Times, start saying you're doing something right, that's a good thing," Moore explained.

"What is your fear of what will happen if people like you don't take this stand?" CBN News' John Jessup asked Moore.

"Because it's not just redefining marriage, it's giving no definition to marriage," he replied. "So we're destroying an institution ordained by God, and under the 10th Amendment, they're [the federal courts] not entitled to change our laws."

It's a debate many believe will be resolved by the Supreme Court before the end of its current term in June.

"Prophetic Word: Checks Are in the Mail" - Doug Addison

"Prophetic Word: Checks Are in the Mail"

Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA

The Elijah List

Checks For Repayment Are In the Mail

This is the start of the seven-year cycle that is being broken from 2008. I have been prophesying for a while that God is repaying us for losses we have suffered over the past seven years.

I got a prophetic word that "The Checks Are in the Mail." Watch for repayment to come in many forms.

This is not just money but in lots of different and creative ways such as: healing, favor, spiritual gifts and restoration of relationships. Prayers you have been praying for a while are going to be answered. Be open to the answers looking different than you once expected.

"I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten..." Joel 2:25, NIV

For us, we took a huge hit financially in 2008, and went into debt for five years. Although we got out of debt, we have still not fully recovered all that was lost.

There were things that God had promised us that never came about. This was because the enemy has overplayed his hand against people like you and me.

If you have been following my prophetic words over the last few years, you might remember I have been saying to make a list of things that have been stolen or never came about since 2008. Well, what is on your list? (Photo via Pixabay)

Renewing Vows From Ten Years Ago

God spoke to me that He is now renewing promises from ten years ago. In 2005, my ministry received a grant for $125,000 to do an outreach coffeehouse in Los Angeles. God had spoken to us clearly and we received a lot of favor and prophetic words for it.

It was during that time that many people around us in Hollywood were leaving, burning out, blowing out, and sadly, even dying. We ended up under intense warfare. We returned the grant and moved to Moravian Falls, North Carolina. This is a time to look back to the things that God had promised you ten years ago because He is renewing these promises and commitments as well.

Here it is 2015 – exactly ten years later and we are back in L.A. and going for the things that God has spoken to us. God is renewing ten-year commitments right now. They will come with interest and upgrades! Call out to God for the things that have been stolen from you.

Spring Forward On March 8

God spoke to me that again this year, when we set the clocks forward in the spring that things are going to spring forward in the spirit. For the U.S., this is March 8. Watch for something significant to begin to happen around this day and season.

This month will align things to come into a greater level of fulfillment. What is happening right now is a time of being propelled, and for some even – catapulted forward. (Photo via Pixabay)

Twenty-seven years ago, I had a radical encounter with Jesus and came out of the occult on my birthday, which is March 8, 1988. Yes, "3-8-88" was the date. Eight represents new beginnings. It was the greatest birthday present ever! In fact, every year after that I would always get a special gift of blessing on my birthday.

That was until 2008. It was the worst birthday ever and we went through a terrible time of testing and betrayal and every birthday after that I suffered losses instead of gains. God spoke to me that this is a breakthrough year for me and many others who have suffered losses over the past seven years.

This year, my birthday was on the same day as we "sprung forward." God is saying to us all to expect to see radical turnaround and changes. You can trust this time. Watch for sudden "good breaks".

"Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a sudden good break can turn life around." Proverbs 13:12, The Message

Your Case Is Being Heard In Heaven

On February 24, I saw that many people's lives and ministries were being called into the courtroom of Heaven. This is happening to many people right now to reevaluate your life callings to determine your new assignments.

As each person was brought in, I saw satan and others lined up to bring accusation against the people who are being called into a new season of advancement. I heard the cries of people as the enemy's accusations were spoken before the courtroom of Heaven. It was gut-wrenching and I wept for them, crying out to God for mercy for all these people. They all had one thing in common: the enemy had overplayed his hand against them.

Then suddenly it was my turn. I stepped up and the accusations of satan and the cries of many of my accusers were hurled at me like insults. The spirit of condemnation was so strong and thick that I could hardly stand. I fell down, crying out for mercy.

Then, Jesus was standing there. Like all the others in line, He pleaded our cases and many were promoted. These were the ones who have made it through the extreme testing and losses over the past seven years. (Photo by Jennifer Page "Enter In" via elijahshopper.com)

And the Lord says, "You are going to move forward into this new season and the voice of the accuser has been silenced." This was a result of people crying out against those who are up for promotion.

Many people who are reading this right now are in this season of promotion. Don't believe the lies or accusations of the enemy. Watch as Jesus steps up for you. But you will need to receive this by faith and get ready to move forward.

Shaking Happening Right Now

I came out of that experience shaking. God spoke to me that there is a shaking happening in the Kingdom. We are going to see a lot of movement and shifting.

Many people are misinterpreting this to be judgment on America. This shaking is designed by God to get us back on track with our callings.

"At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus' resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people." Matthew 27:51–53, NIV

The shaking happening right now is going to shake open some ancient things, like when Jesus was crucified, the earthquake opened and brought the old prophets back to life.

The shaking happening now is not judgment but it is going to open up the tombs that have held callings, gifts and anointings from the past.

"...the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." The veil that is holding people from entering into the "Holy of Holies" or the deeper things of God has been removed.

We are going to see deep revelation come and deeper intimacy. People who were thought to not be fit to encounter God are going to have radical experiences! (Photo of Doug Addison from Father of Lights Film, dougaddison.com)

This is an amazing time to be alive! Focus on the promotions you are receiving and ask God to reveal the new assignments available to you now.

Blessings,

"Prophetic Word: Checks Are in the Mail"

Doug Addison, Los Angeles, CA

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

Here is another great word for the Month of March from my friend Doug Addison.

Just as a quick reminder, Doug has said in the past and is saying today that – where the enemy has stolen a great deal from you – you need to make a list of what those things are. Here is what Doug is saying today:

If you have been following my prophetic words over the last few years, you might remember I have been saying to make a list of things that have been stolen or never came about since 2008. Well, what is on your list?

I need to make my own list. I'm telling you this so you'll do it with me. Make that list of what the enemy has stolen. Present this list to the Lord and ask HIM to redeem back to you what the enemy has stolen. Also Julie A. Smith, our managing editor, heard from the Lord at the beginning of Rosh Hashanah last year that: "2015 is Payday." Amen!

There are some great stories here by Doug that will lift your spirits and encourage you to press in for payback from the enemy! ...So make that list!

Enjoy! And thanks for forwarding this to your friends! They can subscribe just below...
