THE SHIFT
Monday – January 2, 2017
Happy New Year to all, may this year and every year to follow find us prosperous, healthy and joyous with our focus on the Lord Jesus Christ and our assignments in the Kingdom of God. Greeting from Patti and I at Eastern Gate Ministries International and The Three Minute Word publications. Today’s issue of The Three Minute Word is prophetic in nature looking back, looking at today, and looking ahead.
In June 2008 before the election of Barak Obama as President, before the housing market collapse, before the all-out assault on the Constitution, before the government increased its role as god through Obamacare, before the more than doubling of the national debt, before assault on Christianity, before the governmental imposition of the perverted LGBT’s agenda, and before the cheapening of innocent blood in the womb, before we knew Planned Parenthood was selling body parts, the Lord spoke a very simple and brief message to me, and through me to the Church.
He said: “There is a storm coming, the Church can avert the storm, this is not a Word that must be”.
In July 2010 the Lord again spoke again with some additional information.
He said: “There is a coming storm, the Church can avert the storm, this is not a word that must be.” He went on to say: “My people called by my name must humble themselves, pray, seek Me, turn from their wickedness, and I will hear, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal the land.” He went on to say: “Just as Esther came to a certain Kingdom for such a time of need so are my people today chosen for this time, do not hold your peace.” “If you hold your peace I will bring deliverance to my people from another place”.
December 9, 2014 the Lord said the following.
“I (the Lord) will not allow America to be utterly destroyed. You are my Covenant nation to show My goodness and that glory shall shine again like the sun. I am the Lord, it is spoken of My mouth and my Prophets are to proclaim this in the earth. I Love you.”
If you refer back to The Three Minute Word of January 1, 2015 the Lord again warned of a coming judgment (justice), a coming storm if there was not a repentance for our nation was in great sin. The Church (a critical mass) allows or prevents sin in a nation and the Church for decades has chosen to allow great sin.
On June 23, 2015 at 6:17 a.m. the Lord gave me Prophetic Picture for America. This can be found in The Three Minute Word dated June 29, 2015. This was a lengthy revelation, Word for America and in part the Father said: “America is at the dawn of a new day”. “This new day is not a new day of destruction but a new day of abundance and the light of the world.” It sure did not seem like we were at the dawn of a new day, things seemed and were in fact getting darker and darker but it is darkest before the dawn. But God had not forgotten His Covenant with America and a critical mass of Americans were crying out to Him and He heard. As we know today, God has given us a space of time, an opportunity to put Him first in America. The following is an excerpt from that Three Minute Word dated June 29, 2015.
“The picture was taken on the 23rd of June 2015. June is the sixth month of year and six is the number of man. The 23rd signifies death, and 2015 is split in two with twenty meaning redemption, and fifteen meaning rest or the provision of God. America is in a steep dive, a death spiral but God will redeem us, will provide for us (mankind) if we will turn to Him in repentance. You probably noticed that the picture was taken at 6:17 AM. Again six is the number of man and seventeen is the number of victory. God has given us the victory; will we repent, and step into the victory?
All of this was confirmed in a dream the night of the 23rd and 24th cementing the message in my heart. This is the Word of the Lord.” (The picture referred to is at the beginning of the original post)
On Friday, January 1, 2016 I published a rather long The Three Minute Word titled: “What About 2016 and Beyond?” It would be well worth going back into the archives, find this publication, print it and study it. You will find the following excerpt on page six.
“America is at a crossroads. Will the Church in America continue to slumber or will she awaken? Part of the church is awake and growing in leaps and bounds but for the most part this is an unorganized group, likely of millions, and this is the group which will be the catalyst used of God to bring America back as a shining light on a hill however they must be joined by the larger church. There must be a fundamental change of thinking in America and it must of the spiritual first then the natural.”
The following found on page eight.
“Late on the 30th of December 2015 the Lord reminded me of the following Truth that is now applicable to America. God, our Heavenly Father, our Savior, and our Helper the Holy Spirit will keep Covenant with the righteous for a thousand generations. It is well to keep in mind that the mercy extended in any of our lives may be more dependent on those who went before us than upon our condition before God. The same is true of nations.”
Then on pages eleven and twelve. I encourage you to not settle for reading these little excerpts but read the whole thing again.
“Note that even in the midst of great wickedness God preserved Judah 136 years beyond when the northern kingdom of Israel was taken away and destroyed by the Assyrians and He did it for “David his servant’s sake”. America is not going to disappear as a nation and whether America re-emerges as a righteous nation, a light for the whole world on a hill or we sink further and further into wickedness and depravity is up to the true Church. The true Church are those we are following Jesus as led of the Holy Spirit, not the traditions of the elders or denominational dogma. Will the true prophets speak, will the leaders teach repentance and the tearing down of the high places, will the people stand uncompromisingly for righteousness, will this true Church arise at the command of God or will it seem too hard and we continue to mix the knowledge of good and evil? God forbid the latter and bless the former.”
On November 10, 2016 I published a Post-Election Word of the Lord titled “Solution or Opportunity”. If you go to my blog for The Three Minute Word, find the above date you can review this Word of the Lord in detail and I think you will find it well worth the effort. Perhaps you read it when it was originally published, read it again, I believe that would please the Lord. Several months before Donald Trump became the nominee for the Republican Party, and way before he was elected to be the next President of the United States God had told me that he was a “stalking horse”. I took that to be bad but then the Lord asked me, “what if I am the one behind him?”
This preceding year, 2016 was a year of turmoil and transition, we certainly saw that personally and we have observed it as a nation as well and it is not done. This year, 2017 is a time to redeem ourselves and our nation and walk in the victory purchased at Calvary. This year is a space of time for repentance, tearing down the high places in our personal lives and in this nation. Things, ideas, persons seemingly lost will be redeemed. This can be a year of great victory as individuals and as a Covenant Nation who choose God. We are in a very special time of God’s mercy and kindness. What will we choose? God has chosen this man, Donald J. Trump to stand in the gap for America, for the people of God, but the people of God must step up to the plate. We cannot let down our guard we cannot stop the cleansing of ourselves individually and the corporate Church.
“God pointed out that the election of Mr. Trump is an opportunity for the Church of God to come out of bondage and for the United States of America as a nation to return to its Judeo-Christian roots. He reminded me that America has been given many opportunities in recent years and all were squandered by ostensibly Christian men that were elected to office. When we, the Church, stand with God, He will stand with us, giving us favor and the walls will be rebuilt and the gates will be installed and both will be stronger than ever. Will President Elect Trump give the Church of God cover and spend the political capital necessary to do so? If we the Church will get the wickedness out of our personal lives and out of the corporate Church and give the righteous in our government spiritual cover, judgment (justice) will not come.”
“In more recent days I have been inquiring about 2017 and even 2018. We have been given a space of time for repentance and to tear down the high places. Next year 2017 is a God given time of mercy for each of us to return to Him. If we do not return to Him, 2018 will bring a day of judgment that will eclipse anything seen in the earth to this time. So, we must not squander the time of mercy. America will survive and from the rubble a strong remnant of the Church will arise. There will be a great time of restoration and then the end (catching away) will come.”
Go back and read that post dated November 10, 2016 in detail. Next the Lord dealt with me and I published a The Three Minute Word titled “Critical Mass – Word of the Lord” on December 16, 2016. Again, I strongly encourage you all to go back and read this publication, we are in a very serious time. The following is an excerpt from December 16, 2016.
“The critical mass of sin, the sin of the American’s is full and judgment is at the door. However, due to the intercession of a critical mass of Christians over the last few years the Hand of God has been stayed for a season. God does not want to pull back His Hand of protection but our wantonness will dictate that He must. Another Justice will leave the High Court soon (Supreme Court of the United States). The currently vacant seat must be filled with a constitutionally (U.S. Constitution) and Biblically centered Jurist and so must the soon coming vacancy.
The Lord has brought the following ideas into my thinking to share with the Church. The Heavenly Father says I want and need to see a sea change (monumental) change in the thinking and talking of My people. One might ask about other countries, why are they not on the cusp of disaster. Judgment starts with the house of God, America is a Covenant nation with God and is the nation that has held the darkness back for four hundred years and sheltered my son Israel. Be aware of the deception of returning to times past. When you see my Spirit manifesting as talked of by those of old and as you have experienced that is not the end that is not the goal, press in my child. Those times did not get the job done and their return will not get the job done now. The Elijah generation is in the earth, I am coming soon to bring my family home. Be aware of false revivals. There will be pockets of seeming revival, beware I am not in it, be led of the Spirit not an emotional excitement that satisfies your soul for a time but is reprehensible to me.”
“Todays’ Word of the Lord is a stern but merciful Word of the Lord … God help us.”
