The Great Coming Whirlwind by Mary Lindow - Identity Network
"The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet." Nahum 1:3
We are in high-pressured days that seem as if everything around us is in a great whirlwind.
The noise coming from the media, the weather patterns, the sounds of war, the sounds of people crying out for "justice" and the sounds of people crying out because they feel like there's been too much "injustice."
To Those That Have Ears to Hear
The Lord would like to speak these words in this hour to those that have ears to hear.
I know there are many, many prophetic words being ushered into the media outlets by so many people and many have been spoken out in meetings and conferences. I wish that I could tell you that every single voice you're listening to and every promise that is being made to you regarding great wealth, great promotion, and great open doors are accurate. But deep down inside of your spirit man, there is something stirring that you cannot explain. It's that knowing that something is coming, that something has begun out there in the world that we cannot see, but that we know in the spirit.
We are in a time like none other on and in the earth. But, we do have reference points to go to that tell of similar warnings and events that took place in the past. We can remember when Lot chose to go for the things that were more pleasing to his flesh and where he would have more abundant provision and opportunity for business trade, but in the end he was stuck in the city where there was nothing but illicit sex, graft, stealing and robbing, and eventually total desolation and demolition. Even as the Lord provided a way of escape, his wife still had the smell, the stench of the worldly life in her heart, and she turned around to look one more time, fondly, over her shoulder, at the home that she dreaded to leave behind.
Look at the days of Noah when he was mocked and laughed at. He did not build that famous ark in a month! No! It took a long, long period of time to build the ark out in the middle of nowhere! A simple study of the Bible text shows that the time from when God told Noah to build the ark, till the rain fell was no longer than about 75 years.
And yet he obeyed God. If we read carefully, it says that the Lord himself drew the animals to the ark. First, it is necessary to note that Noah was not told to gather the animals. He was commanded only to build the Ark, large enough for all the animals, and simply receive the animals when they arrived.
"And of every living thing of all flesh....two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive." (Genesis 6:19-20)
A Whirlwind is Coming
I want to encourage all of you to understand clearly that there is a whirlwind coming.
In Jeremiah 23:19 God is talking about a whirlwind that He has sent—a violent windstorm. The false prophets have said, "No bad is coming" (verse 17). God says, "Do they ever listen to me? I've said, 'I'm sending a whirlwind, and it's going to fall on the heads of the wicked.' How dare they say that everything is going to be okay!'"
What is coming is bigger and broader and wider and more destructive than anything else that we have ever seen. I don't know if it's a nuclear war! I don't know if it's bizarre weather patterns! And I don't know if it's not just a whirlwind of new kinds of ideas being foisted upon mankind.
What I do Know is This
There are people who are aware in the spirit that the only stronghold in place right now, a place of immunity and safety, is in prayer and in surrendering to all that the Lord is asking of them. Many of you are stretched beyond the point that no one can understand. Their financial resources have been given and given again to help others, and yet their own supply seems to be dwindling. There are those who have poured into the lives of others, poured into businesses, poured into mentoring and training others, and yet it appears as if when they reach out there's nothing left in the pantry for them.
The Lord wants those of you who have been giving, giving, giving to check your hearts one more time. If HE told you to give and to serve and to sacrifice, then you can be guaranteed one thing. He does not withhold from those who have been faithful.
"But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6
And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity. 2 Corinthians 9:10
I want to encourage you right now in the spirit to understand the time that we are in, is a time when nothing is making sense when trying to apply the past patterns and methods or, the natural way of living. It's going to take a determined, dogged, supernatural approach to understand the seasons the days and the times.
God already understands all of this, but He is not going to communicate to people who will then try to communicate it in natural terms to those who don't have ears to hear. He's going to communicate truth and wisdom to those were willing to allow their own hearts to go into the fire of refining and changing the way that they have done things in the past.
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise." Psalm 111:10
Difficulties Require New Strategies
Hard times require sober minds and the determination not to be towed under by destruction and despair.
We are not to be focusing on the noise in the whirlwind around us in this world, even though it sure does draw our attention from the left and the right! We are to instead, focus on a specific path, a narrowing of vision and a "one direction" place.
And what exactly does that all mean? It means that we are to seek the Face of the Father. And I mean seek and to seek, and to seek again. Continually.
"Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually." 1 Chronicles 16:11
We have got to break down those things that are holding back the move of God in all denominations of the Christian faith. It will only come by seeking His face, seeing His heart for people and hearing His plans for them, and for us!
Oh how the Father wants to bring a fresh move of His presence through His word and through His glorious goodness and mercy!
He is going to bring correction to all denominations; all walks that claim to have Jesus Christ as the head of the faith! So many smugly think that because they have been charismatics or that they have been "spirit-filled" they have a higher attained level of wisdom and discernment! This is nothing but plain arrogance. If anything, there should be a more refined level of humility and thankfulness for the fact that we have access through the gifts to flow in the fruits of the Spirit.
"The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted (and they will be humbled)." Isaiah 2:12
The Holy Spirit Would Say These Words Today
"Yes, the winds are blowing and they are harsh winds and some are absolutely destructive winds! Everything that does not stand under the power of my word and is not anchored in Me shall be shifted and blown and shaken, and at times the winds of drastic change will draw away the dross from the wheat. I am sifting and shaking, and shaking and sifting again and again until my people understand they do not live in a time where making demands and commands to Me operate well. I am looking for a people who will bow low enough before Me and get quiet and seek My will, MY WILL for planet earth! This world is fading away quickly and mankind is corrupted each day more and more to go the way of the flesh."
You Must Put Away the Noise!
You must put away the noise in your life and enter into the place where in the center of the storm is the eye. MY eye is upon the righteous, My eye is upon those that are fruitful and faithful, and fruitful to Me may be different than fruitful to you!
You cannot serve two masters, yet many have tried to justify the shutting away of My convicting voice when I have told them to go back and make right the situations where they have done grievous damage to others who are supposedly their family members in Christ.
If you cannot repent and get relationships right in the Kingdom now, I cannot use you to forge new relationships in the future in My Kingdom. If you have bitterness, anger and jealousy in your heart, it will manifest with shaming and name-calling, as well as condescending and destroying another's capability to serve me well.
The days of selfish ambition and immaturity are closely coming to an end. My light, My life, My word and My ways are perfect! I will not deviate from My plan for the Kingdom of God in the earth. I am looking for a people who will not listen to the accusation of others nor slander and destroy their brother and sisters because of another's opinion, or perhaps because they themselves were brought a loving correction or warning and instead, turned around and shamed the messenger.
I see you all and I am fully aware of the things that have been done in My name to hide behind selfish ambition. A judgment time is coming!
Know this. I am about to expose those who abuse the gifts, abuse their titles and abuse the finances that I have deemed for the kingdom and I'm going to bring their names to the forefront to save their souls!
Yes, the whirlwinds may blow, and the storms and winds will be continuing to cycle and swirl. But I'm looking for those who are willing to stay in the center of My Eye, where there is quiet and there is calm and there is discernment, direction and wisdom for these devastating days.
To those in the center of My eye, I will pour out a wisdom beyond mankind's understanding and they will rise up and have the words that will bring direction, correction, and light into dark places.
The eyes of the Lord keep watch over knowledge, but he overthrows the words of the traitor. Proverbs 22:12
For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. Proverbs 5:21
Stand prepared, for I'm doing this thing regardless of whether man is ready or not. I am that I Am and I will have my way in the earth, says the Lord of Hosts.
For this is what the high and exalted One says-- he who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite." Isaiah 57:15

Shifting Sands in the Middle East: Lebanese PM Resigns
11-08-2017
JERUSALEM, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the resignation of Lebanon's prime minister "a wake-up call" for the world. Some see it as another sign of Iran's desire to dominate the Middle East.
Netanyahu spoke to the BBC after Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri's surprise resignation over fear of a possible assassination attempt.
"When Israelis and the Arabs, all the Arabs and the Israelis, agree on one thing, people should pay attention," Netanyahu told the BBC. "We should stop this Iranian take over."

Hariri announced his decision in a televised address from Saudi Arabia, a long-time U.S. ally spearheading the Arab world's campaign against Iran.
In the address, Hariri accused Iran of making a regional power grab, saying Iran's powerful Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah, had taken over his country.
"The fact that Hariri said the truth about Iran and Hezbollah is very important," former Israeli national security advisor Maj. Gen. (res.) Ya'akov Amidror said.
Efraim Inbar, president of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies, said it's "a clear reaction to the encouragement of Iran in the region."
Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government, but has more than 100,000 rockets pointed at Israel. Thousands of its soldiers also fight for Iran's ally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
Amidror called Hezbollah an "Iranian tool" in the Middle East.
"We have to admit, Lebanon is not a state," he told CBN News. "It's something, a unique creature, which is run by Hezbollah, and Hezbollah is run by Iran so at the end of the day it's an Iranian tool in the Middle East, not just against Israel, but in the Middle East."
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of pushing the prime minister to resign.
Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of pushing the prime minister to resign.
Hariri met with President Trump earlier this year and mentioned their partnership in fighting ISIS.
Following Hariri's resignation, Saudi Arabia said they had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen at one of its international airports.
Saudi Arabia responded by launching airstrikes against the rebels and later warned Iran that the latest missile launch could be considered an "act of war."
Hariri has led Lebanon's coalition government for about a year.
"He's a Saudi citizen and he spent many of his years in Saudi Arabia, but he tried at least to work with Hezbollah," Amidror said. "He understood there is no way to work with Hezbollah – either you are completely under their influence or you don't have any right to exist."
Inbar says there's only one way to deal with Iran.
"Probably the only way to stop them is by [the] use of force," he said. "I think the [Lebanese] prime minister probably understands that the West has no intention whatsoever to get involved and maybe what he does is trying to gain legitimacy for Israeli unilateral actions."
Meanwhile, Israeli analysts believe the U.S. and the West probably won't take a stand against Iran and it may be up to Israel to take care of the problem.

The Stock Market Has Gone Up More Than 5 Trillion Dollars Since Donald Trump Was Elected - Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG
Posted: 08 Nov 2017 Michael Snyder THE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE BLOG
One year ago we witnessed the greatest miracle in political history, and since that time we have also witnessed one of the greatest miracles in financial history. On November 8th, 2016 the Dow closed at 18,332.74. On Wednesday, it closed at 23,563.36. U.S. stocks have increased in value by about 5.4 trillion dollars since Donald Trump was elected, and I don’t think that we have seen anything quite like this ever before. So does Donald Trump deserve the credit for this unprecedented stock market run? Many experts are at least giving him part of the credit… Without a doubt, a Trump victory was a good thing for the financial markets, but politicians need to be careful not to take too much credit for soaring stock prices. Because if they take credit when stocks go up, then they also have to be willing to take the blame when they go down. The primary reason why stock prices have gone up so much over the past several years is due to unprecedented intervention by global central banks. They have literally pumped trillions of dollars that they have created out of thin air into the financial markets, and of course that was going to drive up asset prices. But now global central banks are reversing course in unison, and we will see if financial markets around the world can maintain these dizzying levels without artificial support. Because the truth is that whenever price/earnings ratios have ever gotten this high throughout history, a horrifying stock market crash has always followed. There is no way that stock prices can stay at these levels without central bank support, and the trillions of dollars in paper gains that we have seen up to now can potentially be wiped out very rapidly. Just look at a company like Snapchat. This is a company that is supposedly worth 15.4 billion dollars at the moment, and yet it is bleeding hundreds of millions of dollars a quarter. The following numbers come from Wolf Richter… Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, reported late Tuesday that its revenues in the third quarter rose 62% from a year ago, to $208 million, while its net loss more than tripled to $443 million. How? It wasn’t easy, but here’s how they did it:I want to be very clear about what I am going to say next. Snapchat’s business model is terribly broken, and this is a company that is going to zero. Ultimately, those that hold Snapchat stock to the very end will lose everything. Instead of 15 billion dollars, this is a company that won’t be worth 15 cents. Speaking of going to zero, Sears just announced that they are getting rid of up to 140 more stores. We have already set an all-time record for retail store closings in 2018, and the “retail apocalypse” that we are witnessing is only going to continue to accelerate. But at least the stock market continues to set new record highs, right? Don’t be fooled by the headlines. The artificial stock market bubble is living on borrowed time, and meanwhile the “real economy” continues to struggle. When the stock market finally crashes, it will not be Donald Trump’s fault. Let me say that again. When the stock market finally crashes, it will not be Donald Trump’s fault. The Federal Reserve and other global central banks created this artificial bubble, and they will be to blame for the carnage that is caused when it bursts. And as the next great financial crisis unfolds, my hope is that people will finally be sick enough of these “boom and bust cycles” that we will be able to get rid of the Federal Reserve for good. We need people to understand that the design of our financial system is fundamentally flawed, because if we never treat the root cause of our problems we will always be chasing symptoms. There is a better way, and my hope is that in the aftermath of the next crisis we can start to get there.

On November 8th, 2016 we witnessed the greatest miracle in the history of American politics. Leading up to election day, virtually all of the experts were boldly assuring us that Hillary Clinton would be the next president of the United States. Personally, I was quite alarmed about what a Hillary Clinton presidency would mean, because Clinton’s vindictiveness is legendary and my anti-Clinton articles had been seen by millions of people. When Trump shocked the world by winning the election, it was like an entirely new day had just dawned in America. If Donald Trump could become president of the United States, literally anything was possible.
President Trump has been visiting Asia this week, but on Wednesday he took a few moments to thank those that voted for him last November… President Trump marked the anniversary of his 2016 presidential election win by remembering the “deplorables.”It has been 12 months, but it is still hard to grasp what happened on that historic night. Nobody in the mainstream media seemed to believe that Trump had a chance, and his shock victory took almost the entire nation by surprise. The following is an extended excerpt from an article that I published on the day after Trump’s victory entitled “Do You Believe In Miracles?”…

After it was all over, I kind of stumbled around my home lost in my thoughts. I was happy, confused, hopeful, stunned and pensive all at the same time. Like so many others, what I thought I knew about politics turned out to be wrong. But in other ways, the election of Donald Trump has confirmed so much of what I know to be right about America.Ultimately, it was the American people that decided this election, because the elite were doing their best to absolutely bury him. Never before has the mainstream media been so openly biased against a major party presidential candidate. For months on end they dumped sewage on Trump, but it didn’t work. Never before has a major party presidential candidate faced a civil war in his own party on the eve of the election. A whole host of big names in the Republican Party publicly announced that they would not vote for Trump, but it didn’t work. Never before have we seen a bigger October surprise than the lewd tape from 11 year ago that came out and shocked the world. That would have instantly killed the campaign of any normal politician, but it didn’t kill Trump’s campaign. From the very beginning it seemed like Trump was at war with almost everyone, and somehow he came out on top in the end. He beat the Bushes and the Clintons. He beat the Republicans and the Democrats. He beat Hollywood and the mainstream media. He beat the pollsters and the pundits. He beat the never-Trumpers and the billionaire donors. He beat Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Jay Z, Beyonce, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Lebron James. He beat the forces of globalism, elitism and political correctness. He beat CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and Barack Obama. He beat them all.

Millions of us that had worked so hard to get Trump elected were absolutely jubilant, but of course there were millions of others that were bitterly disappointed. If you want to take a walk down memory lane, watch this YouTube video that shows a whole host of liberal talking heads melting down in the aftermath of Trump’s win. They also knew that something had just fundamentally changed in America, and they were not happy about it at all.Sadly, many Republican politicians have still not embraced Trump, and that is a huge mistake. For example, many believe that Ed Gillespie’s huge loss in Virginia happened because he distanced himself from the president… “Republican Swamp Thing Gillespie Rejected,” Bannon’s Breitbart News declared in a headline.As for me, I am proud to stand with President Trump, and pro-Trump voters all over the nation are getting involved in my campaign for Congress. Of course Democrats are hoping that the Trump era will be over as soon as possible and that things will then go back to normal. But that isn’t going to happen. We are here to take our country back, and the Trump movement is only just getting started.

FAITH NATION: Packing Heat in the Pews? Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Rev. Rob Schenck Weigh In - CBN News
WASHINGTON - In the aftermath of the church massacre in Sutherland Springs, Texas, evangelical leaders are divided on a big issue: should church members be encouraged to carry guns in churches?
On today's "Faith Nation," Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Rev. Rob Schenck weigh in on whether Christians should bring their guns to Sunday service and how church leaders can shepherd their flocks in a time of fear and uncertainty.
Schenck, of the National Clergy Council, has been in ministry for more than 30 years. He describes himself as a "card-carrying member of the NRA" but cautions pastors to be wise in the aftermath of the mass shootings.
He tells CBN News that since churches often consist of broken people, he believes encouraging a congregation full of people to come to worship armed could do more harm than good. Schenck wants Christians to respect the Second Amendment while honoring the Second Commandment.
Meanwhile, Falwell, president of Liberty University holds that if more trained, moral citizens carried concealed firearms, less casualties would result from these mass shootings due to the intervention of the gun-toting good Samaritans.
He enthusiastically encourages his students and staff, who pass all training and background requirements, to arm themselves while on Liberty University's campus. Falwell maintains that taking guns away from good people won't stop evil people from doing evil things.
