Blood Moons 

- They were signs and wonders.

The BLOOD MOON appeared yesterday as a sign and wonder. the FACT is that the nation to the NORTH - RUSSIA is now in the MIDDLE EAST. They didn't come with their armies - YET - but to fight ISIS. They have become the diplomatic heroes - not AMERICA (our President Abdicated that) - but frankly I don't trust him. Some in the church are scoffing or mocking Rabbi Jonathan Cahn and his warning of the SHEMITAH. They are saying so what is the big deal concerning the BLOOD MOONS? 

The truth is AMERICA is under judgment warning NOW. Our economy is fragile with CHINA being heavily invested in our economy. The bottom has dropped out on their economy. There is great instability in the entire world economy. The socialistic policies of BIG GOVERNMENT that America has adopted through OBAMA and the LEFT leaves us with a PIPER who will be coming to be paid for the PARTY we have been celebrating.

The MIDDLE EAST is highly unstable - ISIS and other ISLAMIC SECTS are in war and political positioning against one another. BUT all of ISLAM is against ISRAEL and all other nations who do not embrace their FALSE RELIEGION and false god of allah. YHWH and allah are not the same. YHWH - the GOD of ISRAEL is the ONE TRUE GOD - the rte is no other. And YESHUA is His only begotten SON - the true MESSIAH, ADONAI and HIGH PRIEST. 

The RUAH HaKODESH (the Holy Spirit) is the third person of the ELOHIM. SHEMA ISREAL ADONAI (YEHOVAH) ELOHEYNU ADONAI (YEHAOVAH) ECHOD. It means: "Hear oh Israel YHWH is ELOHIM (plural name of GOD - Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and YHWH is ONE (ECHOD meaning - the three persons being ONE.

The only HOPE is in our embracing YESHUA (Jesus) as our Messiah, LORD and High Priest. Our only hope is in HIS return and the establishment of YHWH's KINGDOM on the earth. The Appointed Times - the Fall Hebrew Feasts which are YHWH's Appointed Times will be literally fulfilled and speak forth of YESHUA's return with the FATHER. The church is SPLIT sharply between two basic different END TIME VIEWS. 

Those who understand that YESHUA (Jesus) hasn't yet fulfilled all of the PROPHECIES contained in the Holy Scriptures (the Old Testament) and those who are replacement theology proponents who embrace either FULL or PARTIAL PRETERISM. The Preterists believe that either all opt a major part of the Book of Revelation has been already fulfilled. In other words this is it FOLKS the KINGDOM of GOD is here - Jesus has come - not in the FLESH but in the BODY of MESSIAH (His Church). 

So enjoy GOD'S KINGDOM on earth because this is IT - aren't things marvelous. WHAT HERESY. There were those who denied the MESSIAH YESHUA (Jesus the Messiah) came in the flesh but rather came as a spiritual being. the BIBLE clearly tells us that this is the spirit of anti-christ.

1 John 4:2-3.... "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." 

To deny that YESHUA (Jesus) came literally in the flesh - not in some spiritual way or as an apparition is the premise here. NOW I SHARE A TRUTH from HEAVEN that YHWH is revealing to us today. THOSE WHO DENY THAT YESHUA WILL COME BACK AGAIN IN THE FLESH (not in some spiritual way - or as an apparition) THOSE PEOPLE ALSO HAVE THE "SPIRIT OF ANTI CHRIST.

The disciples stood on the Mount of Olives and watched YESHUA as he ascended bodily into the clouds. And they were told clearly that HE will come again in the exact same manner as HE went up.

ACTS 1:9-11.... "Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “'Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.'”

The religious leaders of my people Israel (the Jewish people) rejected YESHUA as Messiah because HE didn't come as KING MESSIAH and HE didn't bring to pass the prophetic scripture that will be fulfilled when HE returns as KING of KINGS. How will we know? The prophetic scriptures speak of a CHANGE in the very atmosphere where thew GLORY of YHWH will literally bring about a restoration of the Atmosphere that existed before the FALL of MAN in the Garden of Eden. This is something no MAN or any of us corporately as the Body of Messiah could usher in ourselves. 

The beasts of the field will no longer kill one another - they will be transforms into eating vegetation. Poisonous snakes will not bite children as they play with them. There will be perfect peace on the earth, no more sickness, murder, death, tears or pain. I'm sorry, we in the Body of Messiah are to proclaim that we can spiritually be a part of YHWH's Spirtual Kingdom on earth now but we will also be a part of when YESHUA (Jesus) brings the Kingdom of YHWH on the earth - Heaven literally ascending with the GLORy of the FATHER HIMSELF bringing a change in the Atmosphere and then ALL THINGS will become NEW.

Isaiah 2:4N

He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore. ------------------ 

And there is more...... REVELATION 21:2-8 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me,[b] “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

And He said to me, “It is done, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,[d] and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Charismatic Catholics Find Ally in Pope Francis

Charismatic Catholics Find Ally in 

Pope Francis

By John Jessup

Ad Feedback

PHILADELPHIA-- In the same arena where the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers play on ice, thousands of worshippers met to pray for the fire of the Holy Spirit.

On the surface, it appeared to be a typical charismatic worship service. But this gathering was entirely unique. It consisted wholly of charismatic Catholics.

"We need the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is here," said Mary Cruz, who traveled 13 hours from Toronto, Canada for Mass at the Gathering of the Renewal. "Charismatics are here to set the world on fire."

Once seen as peculiar, even among fellow Catholics, charismatic Catholics have found an ally in Pope Francis. He has even invited them to the Vatican to celebrate Pentecost in 2017, which also marks the 50th anniversary of this spirit-filled movement, called the Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

However, traditional Catholics have criticized the pope's work among Evangelicals. Some have even accused him of apostasy for allowing a group of Pentecostal pastors to pray for him at a prayer gathering in Buenos Aires not long before he was elected pontiff.

Spirit-filled church leaders say his aim is to build bridges with a movement that "bears good fruit" -- at a time when the family and traditional values are under attack.

"When the Pentecostals laid hands on him, that wasn't anything to do with what we think of as sacrilegious, it was just a fraternal brotherly gesture," explained Michelle Moran, president of the International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services. "I think it's part of his prophetic nature that he challenges the boundaries with us because he always gets us to think outside the box. It's one of the gifts of his pontificate."

Christine de Vollmer is a leader in the Catholic Church whose work promoting families has led her to build strong ties with evangelicals across Latin America and the United States. She views the intersection of their Christian faith and work as a supernatural alliance.

"We're all brothers and sisters in this fight," de Vollmer told CBN News. "To see the Catholic Church really understand that these are our allies, that [is] beautiful."

The reach across denominational lines includes CBN, which was invited by Vatican officials to share Superbook at an exhibit at the World Meeting of Families.

Justin Murff, who serves as an envoy to the Vatican for CBN, believes the burgeoning interest is opening new doors to work with the Catholic Church by providing Superbook as a tool for religious education for young Catholic children.

So far, it appears to be a hit. Murff and his team handed out a thousand free DVD's of "The Last Supper" to attendees within 20 minutes.

"These were priests, these were nuns, these were religious education teachers, teachers in public schools who said I want to give them to my kids and took five, ten, fifteen of them. So, it's amazing to see the impact that [Superbook] had."

It is that kind of impact Catholics and Christian charismatics hope will strengthen families and change the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  

3 Ways God May Be Speaking to You Right Now by Becky Dvorak

3 Ways God May Be Speaking to You Right Now by Becky Dvorak

Identity Network

Faith hears into the realm of the supernatural. A well-trained spiritual ear will hear and know the voice of the Lord. Jesus says in John 10:27, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." Notice He says that His sheep, not the lambs, hear His voice and follow Him.

What is the difference between sheep and lambs? Maturity. And it is mature faith that hears and recognizes the voice of the Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, and will follow Him.

Spiritually speaking, maturity doesn't necessarily come with time or age. There are many in Christ who have been redeemed for many years, but yet they can only handle the milk and not the meat of the Word. They have to be bottle-fed, and are unable or unwilling to feed their own faith. Why? Carnality.  Unless we die to our sinful nature and selfish desires we cannot develop spiritually, and our spiritual senses, such as our ability to hear His voice, are stunted.

How can We hear the Lord?

There are several ways that we hear the Lord speak to us.

• Through His Word.
• Through the inner voice.
• Through an audible voice.

When we move out of religious duty and into actual relationship with the Lord, He will communicate with us while we fellowship with Him in His Word. It says in Psalm 119:105,"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."

The inner voice is another way the Spirit speaks with us and is found in Isaiah 30:21: "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, 'This is the way, walk in it,' whenever you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left." This is one of the more common ways that He speaks to us.

I was traveling with a friend on a train in a foreign country and as we were chatting I heard the Lord say to me through the inner voice, "The man sitting across from you is following you." My friend was unaware what the Lord has just spoken to me. As she continued to speak, I looked up and sure enough this man had been following us.

He also will speak to us at times with an audible voice as He spoke to Moses in the burning bush (see Ex. 3:4). On different occasions the Lord has awakened me from my sleep by audibly whispering my name, "Becky." I can physically feel the breath of His voice in my ear, giving me clear instruction on what I am to do at that moment or revealing to me in the supernatural realm things that are taking place.

Recognizing the Voice of the Lord

In 1 Samuel 3 we read about a young boy named Samuel who can hear a voice calling out to him, but he does not recognize the voice speaking to him. It takes the maturity of Eli to teach him who is calling out to him and how to respond to the voice of the Lord.

It is of utmost importance that we train our spiritual ears to hear and recognize the voice of the Lord. To do so we must know the Word of God. The more we know the Word, the more we understand Him and His ways and we can protect ourselves from voices that would mislead us. The Lord will never compromise His Word. This is important when we learn to recognize His voice. Jesus says in Matthew 13:9, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

There are three sources of voice that could possibly speak to our spiritu al ears.

• The voice of God
• The voice of Satan
• The voice of human reasoning

The voice of God is always honorable and faithful to the Word of God. It releases freedom to the hearer and never compromises the Word. In Hebrews 4:12 it says, "For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart."

In John 8:32 Jesus says, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."

The voice of Satan is deceiving; it twists the Word of God just enough to make it sound appealing and accepting to the human flesh. In John 8:44b Jesus says concerning Satan: "He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

The voice of our human reasoning is based upon our five senses and our emotions and is limited to human intellect. It says in Proverbs 28:26a, "He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered."

A mature spiritual ear hears and knows the voice of our Lord; it protects us from misguiding voices and is trained to follow after the will of the Spirit of God in all situations.

Does the President's Faith Really Make Any Difference?

9/25/2015 DR. GARY S. SMITH  charisma news

In February we celebrated the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, two presidents whose deep but somewhat unconventional faith has evoked great debate. Does the faith of presidents truly matter? Does it significantly affect how they think, live, and govern?  Concluding that it does not, most biographers have treated presidents' religious convictions as no more important than hobbies such as collecting stamps or playing golf. Many other Americans, however, have considered the faith of presidents as either a cause for celebration or alarm. While Christians often campaigned vigorously and voted in droves for candidates who shared their faith, their foes warned that the dangerous religious views of other presidential aspirants made them unacceptable for the nation's highest office.

In the presidential campaign of 1800, Federalists denounced Thomas Jefferson as an infidel who would subvert the nation's Christian foundation. Rumors spread that, if elected, Jefferson would use public funds to entice civil servants, teachers, military officers, and even ministers to either ignore religion or teach secularism. After Jefferson won, these claims prompted many Federalists in New England to bury their Bibles in their gardens so that his administration could not destroy them.

In 1908, Theodore Roosevelt assured apprehensive prospective voters that William Taft's Unitarian faith did not disqualify him from being president. Twenty years later, fundamentalist Protestants argued that Democratic candidate Al Smith's Catholicism made him unfit to be president. Despite John F. Kennedy's assurances that he would be guided by the Constitution and his conscience, not the pope, his Catholic faith was as controversial in 1960 as Smith's had been in 1928.

Jimmy Carter's affirmation that he was born again baffled and frightened many Americans as did George's W. Bush's assertion that Jesus was his favorite philosopher. Many worried that their decisions would be based on what they perceived God wanted them to do rather than on the advice of their cabinet and the nation's strategic needs.

Are these concerns justified? Does the faith of presidents truly affect how they govern?  Does it help shape their perspectives, policies, actions, and decisions?  The answer depends on which chief executives we are discussing. The faith of some presidents (such as Kennedy ironically) mattered little. The faith of many others, including Hoover, Carter, Bush, and surprisingly Jefferson, strongly influenced their political philosophy and policies.

Although it is impossible to disentangle the personal religious convictions of presidents from their use of religion to serve partisan political purposes, many of them were more deeply religious and had more vibrant personal devotional lives than most scholars have recognized. Presidents use religious language and engage in religious practices to win public approval and gain political advantages. Therefore, we must judge whether their faith is authentic by examining their private correspondence as well as their public pronouncements and evaluating the testimonies of those who knew them best. We must also assess their statements and behavior before, during, and after their presidencies.

Their religious practices—frequent church attendance, prayer, and reading of the Bible—close relationships with some religious groups, regular use of religious rhetoric, and particular policies all testify that their faith was important to many chief executives. Most presidents have worshipped consistently to continue their life-long practice, seek divine guidance, set a good example, or to please prospective voters. Almost all presidents have extensively used moral and biblical language to console grieving Americans, provide assurance in times of crisis, celebrate religious holidays, and promote particular policies.

The faith of many presidents has also helped shape their policies and determine their decisions. Numerous other factors—strategic considerations, national security, party platform commitments, campaign promises, political philosophy, relationships, and reelection concerns—affect their decisions. Nevertheless, their religious commitments have strongly affected the policies many presidents adopted. Religious beliefs helped inspire George Washington's quest to guarantee religious liberty, Jefferson's to ensure peace, and Abraham Lincoln's to end slavery. Their Christian convictions helped prompt William McKinley to declare war against Spain and take control of the Philippines, Theodore Roosevelt to establish national parks, Woodrow Wilson to devise the Treaty of Versailles, Herbert Hoover to reform prisons, and Franklin Roosevelt to remedy the ills of the Great Depression. Harry Truman's decision to recognize Israel, Dwight Eisenhower's attempt to reduce armaments, Carter's quest to promote human rights, Ronald Reagan's crusade to crush communism, Bill Clinton's efforts to resolve international conflicts, George W. Bush's support for faith-based initiatives, and Barack Obama's policies on poverty were all motivated in large part by their faith.

Has the faith of presidents affected them and their administrations positively or negatively?  The answer to this question depends largely on how individuals view the religious convictions and policies of particular presidents. However, when people's faith gives them confidence, assurance, comfort, and inspiration, it is generally beneficial. People's faith often stimulates them to be more compassionate, generous, and hopeful and supplies a constructive blueprint for bettering society. Moreover, the faith of presidents has often greatly aided them in carrying out their demanding duties and serving as the nation's pastor-in-chief during crises and calamities.

Faith has played a very important and often controversial role in the lives of American presidents from George Washington to Barack Obama. Although the founders wisely separated church and state, religious belief and politics have often been inextricably joined and will undoubtedly continue to be.

Is America About to Be Knocked to the Mat?

Is America About to Be Knocked to the Mat?

9/27/2015  Jon Jones charisma news

Editorial note: The Bible says "now we see through a glass, dimly" (1 Cor. 13:12), indicating that looking at the future is never clear. We at Charisma Media feel that prophecies from respected leaders should be considered and discerned even though they sometimes disagree with what others are seeing.

By Jon Jones

Over the next several years, the world is going to experience upheaval, turmoil and extremely hard times in governments, economies throughout the world and in geophysical realms. These things will not come all at once, but will come upon the earth similar to a boxing match.

In the first rounds of most boxing matches, the blows delivered by each fighter are absorbed. However, eventually a blow comes that, because of the previous blows, will cause a fighter to fall to the mat.  

During a fight there are times of reprieve. We have been experiencing a reprieve and will experience more of those times in the future. Eventually, the ability of the fighter to absorb the punches diminishes and the final punch is delivered, resulting in a knockout.  

For many years now, our country has been able to absorb numerous punches, but we are now entering the later rounds of the match. Punches that were absorbed in the early rounds are about to come again. This time, those punches will not be as easily absorbed. America is about to be knocked down to the mat. 

In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit comes to the believers, fulfilling what Jesus said in John 16:7-11. In Acts 2:14, Following this encounter with the Holy Spirit, we find Peter speaking to the people, explaining what is happening. Peter refers back to a prophetic word by the prophet Joel, speaking of a time when God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh.  

At the time of Joel's writing, the Holy Spirit would rest upon a few men or women who would then prophesy, declaring things God had revealed to them about people, nations, armies, weather, famines and other things. This passage establishes that we are in the last days and, when His Spirit is poured out on us today, we can receive revelation from God.  

This revelation can come in the form of a predictive warning, direction regarding decisions and many other things. However, the most important result of prophecy is described in 1 Corinthians 2:1-4. Here we find Paul explaining that his "message and preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God."  

Prophecy is a physical manifestation of a spiritual gift confirming to the hearer the message of Jesus and the cross. It demonstrates the reality of a sovereign God who interacts and communicates with His creation, which separates Christianity from all other religions.  

In 1 Corinthians 14, we find examples of how prophecy is used in combination with the preaching of the gospel. In summary, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 2:2, this is about Jesus Christ. Based on this foundation, I would like to share some things that have been revealed to me regarding what is coming in the near future.  

We Prophesy in Part

Scripture is clear that prophetic revelation coming from a single individual will not paint the full picture. First Corinthians 13:9 says, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part." Prophetic words have three parts: revelation (prophetic word), interpretation (meaning of the revelation) and application (what, if any, action should be taken and when, or if this should take place).

We are also told in 1 Corinthians 14:29 that we should "let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge." These revelations should be considered prayerfully and brought before the Lord for discernment.

On June 24, 2013, I had a dream that I titled "The Redo of 2008." The dream revealed to me that our country was going to experience economic troubles similar to what happened in 2008. The difference is that the intensity and depth of the troubles will be greater and affect more people.

During the crash of 2008, there were many people who did not immediately feel the effects of the crash. Unless you were an investor in the markets or an employee who lost a job, life may not have been much different than before the crash. This time it will be different. While there will still be some who will not be affected, many more will feel the effects of the economic challenges that lay ahead.

I also believe that the "Redo of 2008" will carry over into other areas to include political, governmental and geophysical events. Many of the mistakes and actions to solve the problems that took place in 2008 will be attempted again. But unlike last time, those solutions will not be as effective.

On May 3, 2015, I had a dream that I titled "The Unprepared and the Unaffected." The dream revealed that during the next phase all economic classes would experience varying degrees of hardship. Some will notice little change and will be in a position to help others, while some who could have prepared did not and will need help.

I want to stress that the fall of 2015 will only be the beginning of economic turmoil. The economic shifting that is coming will continue to increase and intensify, eventually affecting the entire world in the years to come. As was illustrated in the boxing analogy, there will be short periods of reprieve, but we are entering into a historical time that will result in great change for people throughout the world.

The Doors of August 2015 through January 2016

On April 5, 2015, I had a prophetic vision that I will share with you just as I received it. While some of the things revealed seem to have an obvious fulfillment, other aspects are open to interpretation.  

In the vision, I found myself in a long hallway with many doors. Each door represented a month of the year beginning in August of 2015 through January 2016. When I opened the door, I was able to get a picture of what life was like during that time for people in the U.S.

The first door I came to had August written on it. I opened the door and when I looked inside there were people walking around, talking and living life. I got the sense that everything seemed normal.  

The next door had September written on it. When I opened the door, at first everything seemed to be normal. But then I began to see dollar bills falling from the ceiling. It was as though the beginning of the month was normal, but something happened that caused things to change.  

The next door had October written on it. I opened the door and saw people who were crying and very upset. I sensed that they were upset because of what had happened in the previous month.   

The next door had November written on it. When I attempted to open the door it was locked. It is possible that, in the near future, what is behind this door could be revealed.  

The next door had December written on it. When I opened the door I saw rioting and looting taking place in a large city. The people were angry and very upset, but I didn't know why.

The final door in the hallway had January written on it. When I opened the door I saw extreme violence and killing that looked like war. I could not tell where this was taking place, but I saw U.S. soldiers fighting.

The months have an obvious progression of intensity, but I am not sure that they are all related. Keep in mind that these are like windows into the future and could represent isolated events that are unrelated. Not everyone will be affected by what is coming, but many will.

How Do We Respond?

We have to answer the question: "How do we respond?" We must decide if we should make changes in our lives, and ultimately that decision is different for everyone. The most important thing we can do is align our thinking with the reality of who God is in our lives and then look at all things through that perspective.

If you read this and fear rises in your heart, remember this truth: Our God is greater, our God is stronger and He is more than able to sustain us and carry us through any storm. Christ in us, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27), is greater than anything we will face here on earth. He will provide for our all our needs, both physical and spiritual, according to His riches in glory.  

"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would give you, according to the riches of His glory, power to be strengthened by His Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all that we ask or imagine, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Eph. 3:14-21).

Jon Jones of Gadsden, Alabama, is a successful businessman who has ministered numerous times in the Ukraine. For years he was nondenominational but now is a part of a Vineyard Church. He originally gave this word on July 8, 2015, and called it "What I See Coming to the U.S. This Fall 2015."  

He says this about himself: "Prophetically, I am what some refer to as a 'seer.' I do not consider myself to be a 'prophet' and would disagree with anyone who might try to label me as such. I have been receiving prophetic words, visions and dreams for over 20 years. I do not have a ministry organization nor have I felt called to start one or make it my primary profession. I have the ability to interpret dreams and have taught dream interpretation classes at churches in other countries and in my local church. Over the past several years, I have begun receiving revelation about things that are coming to our country and the world."
