Weeping Endures For A Night

CANADIAN PROPHETIC VOICE

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

WEEPING ENDURES FOR A NIGHT

It is important that we are not distracted from that which Father has called us to do. When He has called you to pray and intercede it is important that you continue to do so. The battle is on and the enemy is trying to distract God's people with much havoc in everyday life. Many are going through large battles at this present time. It seems that there is extreme pressure being brought to bear upon many who belong to the Lord and it is time that we come to terms with the truth that grace is only given as each new day arrives. We are told not to think of tomorrow because today has sufficient evil.

We see this is so true as this past week's events have unfolded in the terrible massacre of innocent little children as well as adults in the quiet town of Newtown, Connecticut. One cannot wrap their mind around the evil that has occurred and we truly need to hold on to Jesus and reach out to others. We need to be a comfort in this time of deep wounding that has struck into the heart of the nation. Not only America has been touched by this senseless act but we across the border in Canada have wept tears of sorrow with you and are praying.

It is time for us to come together as one body and lift our voices heavenward to the Lord who is the God of all comfort. Truly there is no other place to turn to at a time like this. We have to move forward and at the same time grieve the loss of precious lives.

What is our part in protecting our respective nations. We are told to watch and pray and so we must continue to do so. Also to walk in love toward those that are outside and redeem the time because the days are evil. I am weeping in writing this for truly any innocence left in the nation is gone. Yet, we as precious believers must lead as light and truth and let our light shine in the darkness of this world. Jesus said, ¹⁴ “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matt. 5:14 (NKJV)

This morning I was reminded that we must live one day at a time and that grace is there for this day alone. Manna in the wilderness was provided one day at a time and we to must daily feed on the Word of God for help and strength in this time of trouble. Let us love one another with a pure heart and be willing to reach out to others during this difficult season that has affected so many lives. Weeping endures for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let us pray that through these circumstances those that do not know Jesus come to know Him as their Saviour and Lord. Indeed He is their help in this time of trouble.

Let us continue to be on guard, watch and pray for that which the Lord lays on our heart and take time to hear His still small voice asking Father God to order our steps for each new day.

Let us pray Psalm 91 over our homes, families and nations and continue without doubt to TRUST IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1

Another School Shooting - Why?

“Another School Shooting – Why?”

Prophetic Moments – Issue #56 – December 14, 2012

by R. Loren Sandford

Like everyone else with any sense of compassion, I am profoundly grieved at the tragedy of twenty children and seven adults murdered in Newtown, Connecticut. Many of us are asking why? It seems so senseless, so incomprehensible that someone would visit such murderous impulses on innocent children barely out of infancy. Know and understand that this incident is not the judgment of God. Matthew 18:10 says, “their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father who is in heaven.” I would have difficulty understanding what kind of heartless religious spirit would say that children were killed as a result of the judgment of God, although I know that some will.

Historically, when a society sickens, its sickness tends to express itself in extreme and concentrated ways through individuals vulnerable to its influence or predisposed to wickedness. It would be something like a systemic infection erupting in a focused way through a pimple or a boil. For example, Germany’s societal illness following the humiliation of their defeat in the First World War found concentrated expression in the evil of Adolf Hitler. The reparations – vengeance – the victorious allies imposed contributed to that sickness and paved the way for what came later. Consequently millions of people suffered and died. Many tried to blame Hitler as if the entire burden of guilt were his, but the failure of the allies to forgive had something to do with it and Germany as a whole had to bear its collective responsibility. Corporate sin found a conduit in an evil man who expressed it in concentrated form.

Thus it is today in America as we see incidents of senseless mass killings increase in frequency. We may comfort ourselves with the thought that we are a good people and that these things are being done by demented and evil individuals, but this doesn’t answer the question of why this kind of thing simply did not happen prior to twenty years ago. It does not tell us why this seems to be accelerating in frequency now. Gun control is not the answer because guns are not the cause. Americans have always owned guns but until recent history we have not had to worry about being fired upon in a theater, a mall or a school. Guns are not the problem. The problem lies in the heart of our society and in our cultural decay.

Matthew 24:12 reads, “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” The spirit of lawlessness is loose in the land. From government to populace, we as a society have chosen to ignore, even to reject, God’s clearly stated laws, moral standards and principles, choosing a culture of self rather than a culture of selflessness. In the name of freedom we call evil good and good evil. True integrity is in short supply. We can’t even trust our elected officials to obey the laws they have sworn to uphold. Historically, while we may not always have actually behaved as righteous people in this nation, we at least acknowledged the truth of God’s moral standards and understood what righteousness is. We no longer do, while those who actually take a stand for God’s truth are considered to be dangerous, intolerant, judgmental or too far to the right to be taken seriously.
Now we pay the price as our societal lawlessness and the consequent erosion of love make possible this proliferation of heinous crimes, shootings in malls, theaters and schools. Our collective sin and lawlessness find concentrated expression in a few demented individuals whose depravity is freed to erupt in violence because our corporate lawlessness has weakened the structures of society spiritually and morally that would restrain it. In that sense, we all share responsibility for these tragedies. I see it as the cumulative effect of broken marriages, fornication, adultery, deception and corruption at every level of our culture. The structures of society that produce whole people are broken. Broken people do broken things.

We will see more of these tragedies. In my books I have written of the destructive effect of the culture of self we’ve cultivated in this nation. Conscience, based in primary care and concern for the welfare of others, dies when self-focus leads to lawlessness and lawlessness leads to lovelessness. This opens the door to demonic influence. I wrote in VISIONS OF THE COMING DAYS that we would soon see an upsurge in demonic activity as a result of drug abuse, sexual immorality and rebellion against the laws and principles of God as expressed in Scripture. Tragedies like this most recent one bear the marks of demonic inspiration. Our collective rejection of God’s laws and principles opens the door for this.

What must we as Christians do? It’s time to take issues of biblical righteousness and integrity seriously. It’s past time to preach the gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ who captivates hearts and changes lives until they conform to the image of the Son. It’s long past time that we cleanse ourselves of the culture of self and learn to know the selflessness of our Lord and the power of the cross. It’s time to become real Christians.

Keep Dreaming - Eugene May.mp4

Update on Pastor Youced Nadarkhani

Sources in Iran have said that Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been acquitted of apostasy, but found guilty of evangelizing Muslims and sentenced to three years in prison which he has already served. He has been released from prison and reunited with his precious family. We need to keep praying however as another Pastor was released and then murdered not too long after his release.

Please pray for the Lord's protection over this Pastor and his family and let us continue to pray for the persecuted church in Iran.

Word Of The Lord - July 2, 2012 With Prayer Alerts

WORD OF THE LORD - July 2, 2012

With Prayer Alerts

I am seeking a people that are wholly mine.   Those that have come out of the world and know their God.  It is time to come to Me my people and give me your all, holding nothing back.  You can see the hour in which you are living and the perils that are before you each and every day.  Turn to me my people and open up your hearts that I might do a lasting work in you.  No longer will I settle for lip service but I am looking to you and searching you that I might find a servants heart.  

Have I not made it clear to my people that I am longsuffering and not willing that any should perish?  Have I not made it clear that you need to get rid of the sin in your life?  I am speaking to My children because of my great love for you.  I am not willing that one should perish.  I am calling you to come forth and be all you have been called to be.  I am speaking to you to come forth and stand before Me.  Humble your hearts and turn it all over to Me.  Many of you are withholding your hearts from Me and this greatly saddens me that you will not give your all to Me.  I have given all for you.  Open your hearts My children, cry out to Me for I will forgive your sins.  I will heal your diseases and I will walk with you.  Give your whole heart to Me while there is time.

Nations are in disarray and hanging in the balance.  Swords have been drawn on many sides and it is not long before great war takes place in the nations of the earth.  Men are planning for battle but I say to you I have prepared you for myself and will be your hiding place even in the battle.  Turn all over to Me.  Pray for your nation and pray for the gates that have been opened through sin as they have given access to the enemy. These gates need to be shut through intercession and I am looking for intercessors that will come to Me and call on Me standing in the gap for the sin of your nation.

 Even in New York the enemy has sought to come in and destroy again.  I say to you that narrow is the way that leads to life and broad is the way that leads to destruction.  I am calling you children, the apple of My eye to come forth and stand in the gap.  Stand in the place of that intercessor and call on Me.  The enemy is seeking to come in even into your city and the destroyer has placed himself to strike again.  Intercession can stop this.  The enemy wants war and when a man is at peace with His God peace will reign in a nation.  It is time for your nation to stop its dealings with the enemy and come and bow before Me.  It is time to let me rule and reign for I am the King of Kings and Lord of Glory.  I would rule in your nation and in the hearts of men.  

There is no redemption for the nation whose people do not turn to Me.  Intercession should be a joy and not a chore.  I am entreating you.  Come to Me.  Get busy and call a chosen fast and seek My face.  Call on the name of your redeemer for I am your God.  Call on Me and I will answer you. A nation can be spared with true repentance.  Bring forth true repentance.  Call on me and see if I will answer you.  Call on Me and I will hear you.  I am shaking that which can be shaken and there will be shaking in leadership in the natural and in the spiritual.  I am looking for one that is pliable in My hands.  They are few.  I am looking for leadership that will bend their will to mine and seek me in prayer for their nation. 

 You have not because you have asked not and when you have asked you have asked with wrong motives.  I seek the intents of the heart.  Call on Me and seek me for the enemy seeks to devour your nation.  He is seeking entrance to destroy but I say to you intercession can turn away the enemy from without and within.  Seek Me now and call on Me with your whole heart.  Repent of sin and you will win this battle.  Corporately there needs to be repentance.  Cry to Me and I will turn your nation around.  The key is to cry out, cry loud against sin and spare not.  Too many have made light of sin and I cannot look on sin for I am a Holy God.  Repent of sin, call a solemn fast and see if I can do a work in your nation.  The end is close and I say call on me for I am the Lord.   

PRAYER ALERTS

Prayer Alerts to Pray for New York City.  The area of Broadway, Time Square and 42nd street have been brought to my attention by the Lord. 

Also  Emerald Isle, N.C.  whose waterway is an open gate for enemies of the United States to attack.  Intercessors need to shut this door in the spirit. 

The heat wave throughout the US is life threatening. Millions are without power.  God is trying to get our attention and often uses weather, and natural calamities as a means to do so.  Fires and drought have been allowed but are not God's desire for a nation who walks with the Lord.  God is speaking through these natural circumstances that it is time to repent and turn fully to the Lord.

¹⁴ If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. 2 Chr. 7:14 (AMP)

Judging The Prophetic Word

^{JUDGING THE PROPHETIC WORD}

 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 1 Cor. 14:29

God wants His spiritual gifts operating in the body of Christ.  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 1 Cor. 12:1 (NKJV)

There is a time to keep silent and a time to speak. The Lord has spoken to my heart that it is time to speak about this matter. We are admonished to judge the prophetic word after it has been spoken.  Many are posting prophetic words online and there is very little in the way of true prophetic accountability. This can be a dangerous thing especially if there are not those who will speak the truth in love after reading a prophetic word because of fear of man.  When the body of Christ comes together in corporate worship the prophetic word would be judged when given and the one giving the word would be held accountable. 

We are clearly told that the prophetic word will speak to men and that it will edify, exhort and comfort them. ³ But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 1 Cor. 14:3

Many have had little teaching on this subject and just receive everything they read, some have never prophesied in the body of Christ where there is prophetic accountability.  People can and do make mistakes in their learning to prophesy and need to be teachable.  Also there are those that are putting out prophetic words of doom and gloom where one does not see Jesus in them as words are twisted, taken out of context and a mixture.  

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of all true prophesy. When you read a word, take the time to read each and every word and ponder it.  Do not just take it to heart. Can you back it up with the Word of God. When in doubt put it aside and pray over it. God will in His time speak to you about it if you are willing to wait on Him.

God puts out a clear prophetic flow from a river of clean water. There is no mixture with God. If the one prophesying has a wounded heart they will prophesy out of that wounding. If they see God as a Father who is always angry because of their own troubled relationship with an earthly Father, yet unhealed  then they will prophesy accordingly.  

Years ago I recall being taught that the purity of a prophecy will depend on how close a relationship the one prophesying has with the Lord. God is speaking serious things to His children in this hour yet the mature prophetic person will speak from a pure prophetic flow. They will take time to wait on Him and out of that clean river of living water speak.  They will be walking a repentant walk.  It is so important when one prophesies that their heart is clean before the Lord and that they take time to make sure there is nothing between themselves and God. Also one needs to prophesy out of the unction of the Holy Ghost to be sure that it is from the Lord.  There are times in reading a word that one can see that the person putting out the word has sat there with their bible and then written out of what they have read, put it in their own words and labeled it as a prophecy.  

To whom is God speaking in a prophetic word?  Is it to His church?  The Lord loves His bride, His church and gave Himself for her.  It is a love relationship and He never belts His bride over the head and abuses her but He loves her and has laid down His life for her.  Is God speaking to someone who is unsaved or to Israel or another nation of the world.  We need to determine to whom God is speaking if it has not been made clear in the beginning. 

If you read a word and come away from reading it fearful, and void of any edification, exhortation and comfort and feel a sense of dread then there is a problem with the prophecy you are reading. Yes, God can lovingly correct you and show you things to come but they will NOT remove all hope from you. Christ gives you a future and a hope.

Jesus said, My sheep know My voice and they will not follow another. Take time with the Lord and in doing so you will hear His voice.  Remember that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of all true prophecy. 

¹⁰ And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev. 19:10
