A "PROPHETIC WORD" for 2009-by S and M. Hill (Jan 4)
A "PROPHETIC WORD" for 2009!
-by S & M. Hill (Jan 4).
"Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge" I Cor 14:29
The flood of prophecies for 2009 have begun to come in. They sound remarkably similar to most I have been hearing for the past 15 years!
"This is the year of revival! This is the year of His power. This is the year of increase! This is the year of harvest." You mean it really, really, really is going to happen this time?
I cringe to remember giving "prophetic" words like that! We mistook emotional fervor and hype for anointing. There was no judgement!
There was no accountability. The only point was the "power" of the prophetic utterance in that moment. It was paid performance art pure and simple! Forgive us Lord!
There is a major problem with all of the prophecies about revival to come. It is a religious problem which Jesus encountered. Religion will get all excited about the Messiah to come but try to kill Him when He is standing in their midst (Luke 4:16- 30). Why? The Messiah in the future does not demand faith and obedience now!
The revival to come does not demand obedience now. We can feel all warm and fuzzy about the wonderful word and clap at what God will do while conveniently forgetting that where ever people are simply obeying Jesus they are seeing the Kingdom multiply now.
The future can be an escape from present responsibility!
Prophecies about revival to come lessen personal responsibility even further by emphasizing what God WILL do rather than what God has already done! If Jesus has dealt with all sin on the cross and if Jesus has all authority, then we are completely, totally and absolutely without excuse!
The problem is not with God! His work is finished! The problem is with the laborers! Jesus commanded us to pray for the laborers!
He did not ask us to pray for the harvest. He did not even ask us to pray against the demons! As a matter of record in Luke 10:18, Jesus saw "Satan fall like lightning from heaven" AFTER the disciples went out to befriend, demonstrate and declare the Kingdom. The gospel of the Kingdom only has power as it is demonstrated and declared outside the four walls of our comfort zones! Much of the fervor of the spiritual warfare movement is simply the avoidance of doing the now work in the fields.
In John 4, the disciples did not want to go through Samaria but Jesus did. He talked to a woman and had a revival in that town. Jesus pointed out the difference between Himself and the disciples.
It was a difference of vision!
"Do you not say, 'There are still four months and then comes the harvest?' Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest", John 4:35.
The disciples saw bare, hard ground. Jesus saw white fields. Same view, different eyes, different vision! The problem was not with the harvest but with the laborers!
Harvest fields tend to be poor and difficult places. Harvesting is hard work where ever the field! You have to get dirty and involved. Sinners do not give honorariums. Discipleship is about one on one stuff! Jesus sent away the crowds in order to invest himself in the twelve. Revival is not about platforms and performances. It is about relationships, sacrifice and obedience.
I have a prophetic word for 2009. It is a prophetic word which as been accurate for about 2,000 years and which always will be accurate! It comes from Paul,
"Behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation." II Corinthians 6:2b
And you are right! This is the same as the "Prophetic Word for 2008"!
That was the most forwarded article of 2008 and I think it deserves a resend.
Be challenged afresh!

<< Mark 15 >>King James Bible
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

DREAM - The TWO TSUNAMI'S-Trenton Adams
[revival] WE Can SURF THESE WAVES!
Tuesday,

DREAM - The TWO TSUNAMI'S -Trenton Adams.
On Sunday night, March 16th, 2008, I had a dream. First off, it seemed to me that I was viewing through someone else’s eyes through the entire dream.
In the dream I was driving down a freeway in some city. Some other people and I were going to either get a bite to eat, or go for coffee, or something like that. We got off the freeway, and
got out of the car. I looked back down the freeway, from the direction we had come, and there was water rushing down the freeway towards us. So, I jumped back into the car, and started
driving down the freeway as fast as possible. It seemed like everyone was scared. Eventually, the water caught up to me, and that part of the dream ended.
Suddenly I was somewhere else completely, on a beach somewhere. Some people were watching some big waves come in. They were talking about how the Tsunami would not affect them because they were protected by a land mass off the coast.
It seemed like maybe they were in an inlet of some sort perhaps. I saw top view for a moment, even to the details of what the land mass off the cost looked like.
I was a bit confused how they could be so confident that they would be unaffected by the coming Tsunami. Just then, a very large wave (maybe 20' high) approached at a very high rate of
speed, and no one was able to escape. As it was coming, I formulated a plan to duck under the wave, and swim to the top. So, I did just that, and I was surfing the wave, without a fear in
the world. In fact, I was actually enjoying myself. It seemed odd that I was having fun, which first made me wonder if it really was a dream from the Lord.
After the one wave was finished, a second wave was approaching very quickly. But this time, it was about 300' high. I had the same plan as before. It was a little more difficult, but again, I was able to get to the top, and surf the wave. I found that the wave was swallowing all of the big office buildings, and almost reached the very top of them, but not quite. Then, as I was floating on the top of the water, it began to subside, and go back out to sea.
I asked the Lord what it could mean, but I did not initially get an answer. As I was telling some friends about it, I said “It’s really odd, because usually the Lord gives me the interpretation to my dreams“. Just then, an interpretation formed in my mind.
The interpretation goes like this: I am unsure about the interpretation of the first part of the dream.
The second part of the dream was a similar situation. Many people were in denial about the coming economic collapse, and were thinking they would escape being touched by it. I was
confused at how they could just look the other way, as if nothing was going to happen. Suddenly, the first wave came, and I had a plan before it got there, and I was not afraid, but had peace.
In fact, I was enjoying it because I had the peace of God, and did not trust in material things.
Then the second larger wave came, and once again, I had a plan, and was not afraid. The wave reached the top of the big businesses, and almost destroyed many of them. There was very
little left.
Furthermore, the second HUGE wave will subside, but I believe our economies (Canada and the US) will never be the same.
For those who are in the rest of God, this time will just be another stepping stone to the coming Kingdom of God. I also believe that this dream is showing that there are going to be two significant events in the economic collapse. The second one will be HUGE, and the first will just be a pre-cursor to the big one.

THE LOST.. The LOST...by Cynthia Nichols
[revival] THE LOST.. The LOST...
Thursday, April 9, 2009 10:15 PM
From: "REVIVAL List"
THE LOST.. The LOST...
-Cynthia Nichols.
I thought you might be interested in the following. It was a dream that I feel is an admonition to todays' church.
Going With The Flow
I saw a wide stream flowing past where people stood on either side.As the murky black water neared a precipice it flowed faster and ran deeper. A strong undertow drew it to the point where it roared headlong over the edge.
In the gathering darkness, which made the stream appear even blacker, a girl came drifting past. Those watching saw her, and from where they stood, could quite easily have grabbed her before she reached the rapids above the falls. But they didn't.
They murmured and pointed, even referring to her by her name, but not one ventured to help pull her out of the currents' ever increasing strength.
They were still pointing and murmuring when she tumbled over the falls and was gone.
One piercing scream drifted back to their ears and for a brief moment, they looked a bit distressed. But, it was a very brief moment indeed and then they simply picked up where they left off -murmuring and pointing as yet another person drifted into view.....

DANGERS of "DESPONDENCY"-Tammy Ricks
Thursday, April 2, 2009 8:12 PM

DANGERS of "DESPONDENCY"
-Tammy Ricks.
Since you don't know me, may I share that I used to be zealous, on fire, strong in the name of the Lord. Up until the end of Dec 2008--I had become like cold--white-dead meat--without blood--
After a break-through I was Led by the spirit of God to reveal the assignment of the enemy used against me.
The word was, "Despondency".
I did not even know what that word meant--but when I looked it up in Webster's--it was so right on--- such a Word of knowledge--- and the antonyms for it was exactly what I had been praying for.
I wanted my joy back. My zeal, my strength, my hope,my faith, my energy.
I thought that I had just been caught in a cycle of grief, hopeless- ness and depression.
I believe that this is or will be used against the church in the last days along with its next of kin---"Lethargy".
So--pray about this if it is for the rest of the body as well- that we may be alert and vigilant and that the body of Christ may be aware of the assignment against it.
If it is not for the rest but just me--then hold me up in prayer.
But right now--Prophetically I pray that the eyes of our hearts be open to see and know---and I pray, In the Name of Jesus, that the Spirits Of Lethargy and Despondency loose and lose its hold on the Body of Christ, That she may be filled with the Spirit of Might and Power, and Zeal for the Lord. May we be so full and overflowing with the Spirit of God and the Gospel of Peace that
many run to His Light. I pray that God will fill us once again with courage, Faith and strength---filled with a tenacious spirit to do as God calls in these last days. May we be very strong and Brave and awake.
May we have eyes to see, ears to hear rightly what the Spirit Of The Lord is saying and may we have the gift of discernment and the faith to believe that God is able to speak to us and we hear properly. I break all self doubt and intimidation in Jesus' name and command the fruits of righteousness to break forth--- In Jesus' Mighty Name - Amen.
I also pray that where I was held back in time--that God, By His Spirit will put me rightly where I am supposed to be. Right Heart, Right Spirit, right time in Jesus' mighty Name--redeem the time - Amen.
