Stanley Frodsham's Prophetic Warning - 1965



Let him who has ears, let him hear. Study this carefully.


This prophecy was given at the Elim Bible Institute USA, in 1965 by the late Stanley Frodsham. Brother Frodsham was one of those who received his Baptism in the Holy Ghost at Sunderland in 1908 where the Pentecostal movement in Britain had its beginnings.

With great judgments will I plead with the population of this country. Great darkness is coming upon the countries that have heard my gospel but no longer walk in it. My wrath shall come upon them. The darkness shall be so great, and the anguish so sore that men will cry out for death and shall not find it. There shall be a lingering death, famine, and great catastrophes.

My wrath shall be manifested against all ungodliness. It shall come with great intensity. You have known My love but have not known My wrath, My severity. My judgments are literal and not a thing to be lightly passed over. Realize the severity of My judgments and My intense anger against the sin in My household. My judgments shall begin in My house. For I will cleanse My house that it be not partaker of My wrath against the iniquities of the cities. Before I visit the nations in judgement I will begin at My house. When I do cause My wrath to come upon the cities of the world My people shall be separate. I desire a people without spot or wrinkle, and such shall be preserved by Me in the time of My wrath coming upon all iniquity and unrighteousness.

I am going to prepare you for the coming days by a hard path that will cause you to cry out continually unto Me. For when the going is easy, men do not seek Me, but rejoice in a temporary blessing. And when that blessing is removed they so often turn this way and that way but do not come to Me. I am showing you these things that you may seek Me continually and with great diligence. As you seek Me, I will open up truths to you that you have not seen before; and these very truths will be that which will enable you to stand in these last days. As you are persecuted, reviled and rejected by your brethren then you will turn unto Me with all your heart and seek Me for that spiritual life you have need of. And when tribulation comes you will have that which will enable you to stand. For many shall be tossed to and fro. Men's hearts shall fail them because of trouble on every hand. For these days shall be very terrible, the like of which has never been seen before.

When I visit My people in mighty revival power, it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the glory shall come great darkness, for the glory is to prepare My people for the darkness. I will enable My people to go through because of the visitation of My Spirit. Take heed to yourselves lest you be puffed up and think that you have arrived. Many shall be puffed up as in the olden days, for many then received My message but they continued not in it. Did I not anoint Jehu? Yet the things I desired were not accomplished in his life. Listen to the messengers, but do not hold men's persons in admiration. For many whom I shall anoint mightily, with signs and miracles, shall become lifted up and shall fall by the wayside. I do not this willingly; I have made provision that they might stand. I call many into this ministry, and equip them; but remember that many shall fall. They shall be like bright lights, and the people shall delight in them. But they shall be taken over by deceiving spirits and shall lead many of My people astray.

Hearken diligently concerning these things, for in the last days shall come seducing spirits that shall turn many of My anointed ones away. Many shall fall through divers lusts, and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently I will put My Spirit within you. When one shall turn to the right hand or to the left you shall not turn with them, but keep your eyes wholly on the Lord. The coming days are the most dangerous, difficult and dark, but there shall be a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon many cities, and many shall be destroyed. My people must be diligently warned concerning the days that are ahead. Many shall turn after seducing spirits; many are already seducing My people. It is those who DO righteousness that are righteous. Many cover their sins by great theological words. But I warn you of seducing spirits who instruct My people in an evil way. Many of these I shall anoint, that they may purify and sift My people; for I would have a holy people.

Many shall come with seducing spirits and hold out lustful enticements. You will find that after I have visited My people again, the way shall become more and more narrow, and fewer shall walk there in. But be not deceived, the ways of righteousness are My ways. For though Satan come as an angel of light hearken not to him; for those who perform miracles and speak not righteousness are not of Me. I warn you with great intensity that I am going to judge My house and have a church without spot or wrinkle when I come. I desire to open your eyes and give you spiritual understanding, that you may not be deceived but may walk with uprightness of heart before Me, loving righteousness and hating every evil way. Look unto Me and I will make you to perceive with the eyes of the Spirit the things that lurk in darkness, that are not visible to the human eye. Let me lead you in this way that you may perceive the powers of darkness and battle against them. It is not a battle against flesh and blood; for if you battle in that way you accomplish nothing. But if you let Me take over and battle against the powers of darkness then they are defeated, and then liberation is brought to My people.

I warn you to search the Scriptures diligently these last days. For the things that are written shall indeed be made manifest. There shall come deceivers among My people in increasing numbers, who shall speak forth the truth and shall gain the favor of the people. For the people shall examine the Scriptures and say, "What these men say is true." Then when they have gained the hearts of the people, then and THEN ONLY shall they bring out these wrong doctrines. Therefore, I say that you should not give your hearts to men, nor hold people's persons in admiration. For by these very persons shall Satan enter into My people. WATCH FOR SEDUCERS. Do you think a seducer will brandish a new heresy and flaunt it before the people? He will speak the words of righteousness and truth, and will appear as a minister of light, declaring the Word. The people's hearts shall be won. Then, when the hearts are won, they will bring out their doctrines, and the people shall be deceived. The people shall say, "Did he not speak thus and thus? And did we not examine it from the Word? Therefore he is a minister of righteousness.

This that he has now spoken we do not see in the Word, but it must be right, for the other things he spoke were true."

Be not deceived. For the deceiver will first work to gain the hearts of many, and then shall bring forth his insidious doctrines. You cannot discern those who are of Me and those who are not of Me when they start to preach. But seek Me constantly, and then when these doctrines are brought out you shall have a witness in your heart that these are not of Me. Fear not, for I have warned you. Many will be deceived. But if you walk in holiness and uprightness before the Lord, your eyes shall be open and the Lord will protect you. If you will constantly look unto the Lord you will know when the doctrine changes, and will not be brought into it. If your heart is right I will keep you; and if you will look constantly to Me I will uphold you.

The minister of righteousness shall be on this wise -- his life shall agree with the Word, and his lips shall give forth that which is wholly true, and it will be no mixture. When the mixture appears then you will know he is not a minister of righteousness. The deceivers speak first the truth and then error, to cover their own sins which they love. Therefore I exhort and command you to study the Scriptures relative to seducing spirits, for this is one of the great dangers of these last days.

I desire you to be firmly established in My Word and not in the personalities of men, that you will not be moved as so many shall be moved. I would keep you in the paths of righteousness. Take heed to yourselves and follow not the seducing spirits that are already manifesting themselves. Diligently inquire of Me when you hear something that you have not seen in the Word, and do not hold people's persons in admiration, for it is by this very method that Satan will hold many of My people.

I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly, that you may triumph where I triumphed. On the cross I triumphed over all the power of Satan; and I have called you to walk in the same path. It is when your life is on the cross that you shall know the victory I have experienced. As you are on the cross, and seated in Me, then you shall know the power of the resurrection. When I come in My glory, the principalities and powers in the heavenly places shall be utterly broken. Fear not, for I have given you power whereby you may tread down the powers of darkness, and come forth victorious through every trial. As you are on the cross then you are victorious. It was on the cross that I triumphed over all the powers of the enemy. My life shall flow through you as you enter into these precious truths. Look unto Me, and appropriate My life. As your eyes and desires are toward Me, and you know what it is to be crucified with Me, then you shall live, and your anointing shall increase. It was not in My life that I walked upon the earth, but it was in My life when I was upon the cross that I openly spoiled principalities and powers.

I am showing you truths that shall cause you to overcome, to have power over the wicked one, truth that will liberate you and those round about you. You shall know also the fellowship of My sufferings. There is no other way whereby you may partake of this heavenly glory and reign with Me. "If we suffer with Him we shall reign with Him." I desire to make those truths real within you. As you keep them before you, you will liberate many who are in bondage. You will have revelation of those who are in darkness and will have the keys to liberate the captives. Many seek to liberate, but they have not the keys. Upon the cross continually you will know the power of My resurrection that you may also partake of My glory. As you are willing to walk with Me and rejoice in your sufferings, you shall partake of My glory. Look unto Me for you have need of power to overcome the wicked one, and the bondages in other lives.

If you will indeed judge yourself you shall not be judged. As you seek My face and desire to be cleansed by Me in all truth and sincerity of heart I will judge you in the secret place, and the things that are in the secret place of your heart shall not be made manifest to others. I will do it in the secret place and no man shall know it. And the shame that shall be seen on many faces shall not be seen on your face. Therefore in love and mercy I am instructing you. And therefore I have said that if a man judge himself he shall not be judged. It is not My good pleasure that the shame of My people be seen by all. How can I judge the world if I judge not first My own house? Hearken unto these things I am telling you. If you will not hearken unto Me thy shame shall be evident to all.

I would have you consider My life on earth -- the anointing upon Me was great and yet the temptations were great on every side; in one form and then in another, offering Me first the glory of the kingdoms of the earth and then reviling and persecuting Me. There will be great glory given to My people, and yet the temptations shall be intensified from every side. Think not that with the glory there shall be no temptations or persecutions. The glory of My church shall be great, and so shall be the temptations from the enemy to turn My people from My paths. I am warning you that when the glory shall be manifested, the temptations shall be great, until very few that start shall finish. First there shall be offered them great worldly possessions, and then great revilings and unbelief.

Consider your Lord, that as He walked so it shall be for you. There shall be need of great intensity of purpose. At times everyone shall rise up against you, simply to turn you from the course that I would put you in. It is written of Me that I set My face as a flint to go to the direction My Father had prescribed for Me. If you will finish the course the Lord has laid down for you, you will have to set your face as a flint. With great determination you must walk in the course laid down for you. Many of your loved ones and those who follow with you shall persuade you and try to turn you from the course. With many words that seem right in the natural will they speak to you. Did not Christ rebuke Peter who would turn Him from the course God had prescribed?

Understand these two things and meditate upon them solemnly -- the persecution and the darkness shall be as great as the glory in order to try to turn the elect and the anointed ones from the path the Lord has laid down for them. Many shall start but few shall be able to finish because of the greatness of grace that shall be needed to be able to endure unto the end. The temptations and the persecution of your Lord was continuous. He was tempted by Satan in many forms throughout His entire life and even to the cross when the ungodly cried out, "If thou be the Christ come down from the cross." Think not that there shall be a time of no persecution, for it shall be from the time of your anointing until the end. Difficulties, and great persecution to the end. The Lord must prepare you to be an overcomer in all things, that you may be able to finish the course. The persecution shall increase even as the anointing shall increase.

In paths of judgement and righteousness shall the Lord God lead His people and bring them into that place which He has chosen for them. For the Lord has chosen a place for His people, a place of righteousness and holiness where He shall encamp round about them. And all who will be led of the Lord shall be brought into this holy place. For the Lord delights to dwell in His people and to manifest Himself through His people. The holiness of the Lord shall be manifested through His people. Let the Lord lead you and He will lead you in difficult places. He led His people of old through a place where no man dwelt, where no man had passed through, in a place of great danger and in the shadow of death. The Lord will indeed again lead His people through such places, and yet He will bring them out into a place of great glory. Understand that the way toward the glory is fraught with great danger and many shall fall to the right or to the left, many shall camp on lesser ground. But the Lord has a place of holiness and no unclean thing shall dwell among His people.

Put your trust in Him and He will bring you into a place of holiness. He desires to bring His people into great glory -- the like of which has never been seen for what the Lord will do for those who put their trust in Him. It is a place of darkness and great danger that separates His people into the place He would have them walk in. He will protect them from the voices that would turn them from His path. He will bring them through the dark places, and through the treacherous paths, out into the light of His glory. He will rejoice greatly over His beloved and cause you to be filled with joy unspeakable. He seeks to lead His people into a new place of grace and glory where He will indeed encamp among them. Put your trust in Him and He will surely bring you into this new place.

Fear not the days to come, but fear this only -- that you shall walk in a manner pleasing to the Lord. In this time I am ordering and setting up My church and it shall indeed be pure, without spot or wrinkle. I will do work in My beloved that has not been seen since the foundation of the world. I have shown you these things that you may seek the Lord diligently with all your heart, and that you may be a preserver of His people.

Run not to this one nor to that one, for the Lord has so ordained that salvation is in Him and in Him alone. You shall not turn to this shepherd or to that one, for there shall be a great scattering upon the earth. Therefore look unto Him for He will indeed make these things clear to you. You shall not look here nor there, for the wells that once had water shall be no more. But as you diligently seek Him He shall increase your strength and your faith, that He may be able to prepare you for this time that is coming.

The truths that I have revealed to you must become a part of you -- not just an experience, but a part of your very nature. Is it not written that I demand truth in the inward parts? It is the truth of the Lord expressed in your very being that shall hold you. Many shall experience the truth, but the truth must become a part of you, your very life. As men and women look upon you they will hear not only the voice but see the expression of the truth. Many shall be overcome because they are not constant in My ways, and because they have not permitted the truths to become part of them. I am showing you these things that you may be prepared, and having done all, to stand.

One More Time!!!


I will start with a statement that I rarely make, if ever on this blog: I am 100% sure that I have heard from The Lord on the subject matter that I will touch on here.

Now don't put on the brakes. I know some will say you cant be 100% sure about that. But, when you read and hear the heart of what I am going to write, I believe you will agree.


Also. we need the Prophets of the last days, the real Prophets that are set in THE CHURCH, THE LOCAL CHURCH, to stand up and speak, so the false can be burned away like the chaff and crushed like stones.
There have been things lately that The Lord will not let me be timid on. Some things need to be spoken clearly and precisely in these last days. Like  laser guided missiles to destroy the enemies lies and strongholds he has had over the Church for the last few decades.

Jeremiah 23:28-29
Amplified Bible (AMP)

28 The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream; but he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What has straw in common with wheat [for nourishment]? says the Lord.

29 Is not My word like fire [that consumes all that cannot endure the test]? says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks in pieces the rock [of most stubborn resistance]?


The Lord is calling men and women, both Ministers and Laymen alike to stand up, ONE MORE TIME! (For some ONE LAST TIME. So they can finish their course with Dignity and Honor!)

Seems like a simple enough word. But this is our part. We must let them! We must help them! We must embrace them and recieve them! Some of these will bring with them a mighty Prophetic Anointing that is needed in The Local Church right now. Some will bring a powerful Gift of Mercy that will be empowered by The Love of Christ! They will be moved with compassion, much in the same way Jesus is, and will be vessels to heal many.

There are a few, not many, but a few, that you may never see. They will rise up in the hidden place, and speak to the nations, speak to the Principalities and Powers above the nations. They will carry an Anointing that has not been seen in some time.

Some of these men and women, may have, and probably have, made some big mistakes in the past. They may have stepped into areas they should not have. They may have said things they shouldn't have said.

However, God is stirring in them to cast it before Him and to Rise Up One More Time. To lay it all on the line for Jesus. There may be some that will rise up in great power in order to enter closed nations, and there they will meet their Destiny!!

Pray for the ones that God is calling to Rise Up, ONE MORE TIME!!!

We need them. God needs them to Rise up! They are precious in His Sight!

The ones that are doing battle get cut. The ones on the front lines holding their own sword and  shield to protect others are the ones being battered, the ones that fall are the ones that have to get up and fight, again and again!!

If you are one of the ones that God has been pulling on to return to the vsion He put in your heart, answer the call. You know if it is you. You know He has been saying to you. Rise up one more time. Get back in the Fight of Faith. Pick up that mantle again. Speak those words again! Declare those promises again. Love people again!

                    


         What better scripture to meditate on than this. Time is Short!! Answer The Call !!!!!!!




Hebrews 10:32-39
New Living Translation (NLT)

Think back on those early days when you first learned about Christ. Remember how you remained faithful even though it meant terrible suffering. Sometimes you were exposed to public ridicule and were beaten, and sometimes you helped others who were suffering the same things. You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.

“For in just a little while,
the Coming One will come and not delay.

And my righteous ones will live by faith.
But I will take no pleasure in anyone who turns away.”

But we are not like those who turn away from God to their own destruction. We are the faithful ones, whose souls will be saved.

*ALERT* Not an *Alarm*



A bit of an *ALERT*. Not an *Alarm* but worth taking precaution. I sense this is for Christians and Ministers, but can apply to anyone. Please take extra precautions when traveling, especially abroad and in major cities.

The Lord has been bringing certain things to my attention through the news, personal experience and a dream my son had the other night.

I guess the "WORD" is to be diligent. Consider traveling in teams of at least two. Ladies some security(for ministers) may not be a bad idea. All ladies should prayerfully consider traveling with a team with trusted, and able men.

No fear. Jesus himself said, be as shrewd as serpents and harmless as doves...


Keep Prayed up. Pray in The Spirit as you travel. Stay close to The Holy Spirit and sensitive so you can take the detours needed to avoid trouble. Again No fear. We serve a mighty God!

Miracles Of The Soul!



The upcoming generation wants truth. They can see falsehood and showmanship a mile away and they avoid it. The powerful leaders that are hidden within those yet to come to The Lord and/or Church will not be drawn by odd manifestation, or even displays of wheelchairs and crutches piles on a stage.

Outward miracles may grab their attention for a moment, but it isn't what will draw them, it isn't what will call to the future leaders and believers.

They want,they need relationship with The Lord. They are drawn by true hearts, by those who are real, who understand their struggles, who can relate to their pain. They are drawn to leaders that are anointed to touch their heart and soul. Future missionaries will be drawn out by those who demonstrate the Love,Power and Ability to go in, knock down the gates of hell and set the captives free!

I have seen young people who swear,smoke and look all crazed out,worship with more passion, and heart than almost anyone I have seen. Young adults gather by the thousands sometimes, all covered in tattoos and piercing, that yell the name of Jesus loud and proud.

There has been a disconnect in this though, a chasm that has yet been filled. Discipleship. They are drawn, but when they leave, they have no church that draws them into a deeper relationship, into growing, into learning, into discipleship.......

What can be done to bridge this gap? How do we bring the rivers(to steal a phrase) of this huge group of young adults that worship with such passion, but have no Word in them to grow, and The Discipleship of The Local church that they have rejected, together??

I don't know?? But!! God Does!!! It will be done somehow through miracles of the soul and heart. Miracles of the mind and vision.

Let it be so Lord.


I posted this a few days ago, but I truly believe this book is a great recourse to teach and disciple believers, and to answer many questions of those seeking.

Psalm 65:5



This verse has been on my heart for some time. So I decided to check it out in different translations.

So wonderful to read different ways of saying the same thing. Many miss out on the fullness of scripture because of the legalistic way they view it. Just read some of these, and allow them to inspire faith in your heart. We serve a faithful God that answers our prayers mightily!!!

The first two are my favorite versions!

Psalm 65:5
Good News Translation (GNT)

You answer us by giving us victory,
and you do wonderful things to save us.
People all over the world
and across the distant seas trust in you.



Psalm 65:5
Amplified Bible (AMP)

By fearful and glorious things [that terrify the wicked but make the godly sing praises] do You answer us in righteousness (rightness and justice), O God of our salvation, You Who are the confidence and hope of all the ends of the earth and of those far off on the seas;



Psalm 65:5
1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)

O God of our salvation, thou wilt [a]answer us with fearful signs in thy righteousness, O thou the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are far off in the [b]Sea.



Psalm 65:5
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

By awesome deeds you answer us with deliverance,
O God of our salvation;
you are the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.


Psalm 65:5
Expanded Bible (EXB)

You answer us in amazing ways with ·vindication [victory; righteousness], God our ·Savior [Victor].
People ·everywhere on [of all the ends of] the earth
and ·beyond the sea [the farthest seas] ·trust [have confidence in] you.


Psalm 65:5
New Living Translation (NLT)

You faithfully answer our prayers with awesome deeds,
O God our savior.
You are the hope of everyone on earth,
even those who sail on distant seas.


Psalm 65:5
GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

You answer us with awe-inspiring acts done in righteousness,
O God, our savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the most distant sea,

The Ministry of The Holy Spirit



The Holy Spirit is a "person" not a force, not a feeling. He is Holy and leads us into all righteousness. The Person of The Holy Spirit will only lead us to speak and act in a way that is Holy and Gives God Honor and Glory.


He will point toward The Risen Lord:The King of Kings.Knowing all that: How would one behave, if an earthly, King in all His Royal Garb and entourage, entered a room??

How much more should we Respect and Honor The Presence of God? In an over-abundance, of not wanting to judge, too many have cast aside discernment and have opened the Holy Spirit up to mockery and blasphemy.

How many more "revivals" that leave a trail of broken lives, influenced by the same men,and their "disciples"can we just shrug off? With store bought glitter and fake jewels, dollar bills falling from the ceiling?? None! None! None!



He is a personal God. Wanting to heal,restore and show great mercy and love to His People.

When the crowds were thronging Him and the woman touched the hem of His Garment, what did He do?


Mark 5:25-34
New Living Translation (NLT)

A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding.She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse.She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd and touched his robe.For she thought to herself, “If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.” Immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition.

 Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my robe?”

His disciples said to him, “Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’”

 But he kept on looking around to see who had done it.Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him and told him what she had done.And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.”


Did He keep walking? Did He leave her to just experience His Power and Virtue? Did he settle for that? NO! He said "Who touched Me". The disciples were not only ready to dismiss this event, they didn't think it was even possible, in that situation, for personal ministry, loving ministry and one on one ministry in such a large,chaotic crowd.

But, Jesus, moved by The Holy Spirit, would not leave it alone, He would minister to The ONE THAT REACHED OUT TO HIM IN FAITH. He would talk to her, love on her, encourage her.

Oh ,my friend, the days of The Holy Spirit being treated like a sideshow, like a drug, like an opiate ARE OVER. The Lord is not willing to have His Holy Spirit represented in such a way any longer.

He will reach for THE ONE that reaches for Him. He will raise up gentle, loving men and women of God that minister His Love personally, powerfully, with signs and wonders that don't entertain, but heal, restore, fix the broken places and sets the captives free.

His WISDOM will be shown BY THE CHURCH to the principalities and powers. And yes even in a huge crowds, where so many are reaching out for Him, His Holy Spirit, is willing and able, to minster to each one individually,personally, powerfully!!!!

ARE YOU READY!!!!!! HE IS!!!

An Answered Prayer


Let me start by saying that it is rare that I promote anything on this blog. I have suggested a couple of books and organizations because they blessed my heart. I have a deeper reason for giving the book below a review, other than it is written by my Pastor.

I believe that this book is the answer to my prayer, and many others, for many years, to have a book that would simply, but deeply, teach about The Local Church,Her Purpose and walking the Christian Life out.

As I have said in previous post, if you are reading this post, it is either just another blog post or The Lord has a purpose for you clicking on this blog. Only you can decide that, but I truly believe that this book will bless you, your church, your Pastor, your bible study...etc..etc...

If you click on the picture below it will bring you to Amazon.com. I pray that The Local Church will be strengthened and encouraged wherever this book is planted. Let God receive all The Glory and The Name of Jesus be magnified in all the earth!!

A Test? A New Set of Eyes



Will you,and your church pass the tests that are coming this year concerning persecution for righteousness sake? There are Christians being tortured and killed for their faith everyday all across the world.

Lets not slap them in the face by failing because of a few harsh words. We have failed them enough by hoarding Kingdom finances in this nation.

Many Pastors and Brethren have died for lack of food and medicine. They suffer for The Kingdom under harsh persecution as Shepherds of The Lords sheep in places where wolves devour from the inside and out.


We owe it to them to stay steadfast in prayer for them. To pray that the wealthy ministers of this nation, and other wealthy nations, will have a change of heart and begin to give their excess to The Poor and Persecuted Church across the planet.


It is not a question of who should have what.Time is short.


What do you value.What value do you put on a luxury car/diamonds/expensive watches/million dollar homes?



I pray that Ministers and Laymen alike, all over this planet, begin to see with different eyes. The eyes Schindler was seeing with at the end of that movie, but before the end comes.



When they see a luxury car, they will see 10 churches supported,planted, fed for 5 years. When they see the Rolex they see medicine and shelter for 100 pastors for 5 years. When they see the multi million dollar home, they choose a modest home instead and see thousands,possibly tens of thousands of Christians fed The Word for the next decade.

Can we see with different eyes?????? That is all I am praying, is that we will begin to see with different eyes. We will see stuff as valuable in a different way. Not that we can't have nice things and provide for our families..


Just that what we value will change.

God Is At Work!!!!




It is amazing how God can work in our lives. Just a few weeks ago I was in quite the physical and emotional mess. From about, July to October, I started a downward spiral. From October to the end of the year, I was in complete shut down mode.

I gained a lot of weight, shooting up to 308 at my highest point. I was really depressed, always sick and was generally a mess.

I would give more detail but my wife, and I think she is right, says I have to cut back on putting all my stuff out there and being too open. I love her, she is so wise and doesn't even realize it I think.

The Lord gave me a vision back in October, showing me that it was going to be a hard few months, that His Spirit was the only way I would get through, and just to drive forward to the end of the year.

On New Years eve, with the fullness of 2012, and really the last 20 years in some areas concerning my ministry walk, my christian walk, coming to a head, I had every opportunity to just say, "God failed me, 2012 did not come out as prophesied, we didn't receive a harvest, the ground was hard all year, nothing changed, everything seemed to have failed". The hardest part was the temptation to say, "The Word failed me, God failed me".

I was at work, doing a job that does not bless my soul or spirit. I knew there was a great service going on at church, my family was home bringing in the new year without me, and I was in the same place, in a worse place in some ways than the year before. I really didn't want to hear another NYE service of promises anyway. 2012 didn't work out too well.

But!! God showed up. I clicked on a link and saw that CCC (Christian Cultural Center in NYC) was having a live feed. I started to listen. And God showed up some more. I thanked God for getting me through the last three months of pain and trial, and God showed up some more. I gave my attention to The Word as if I was sitting in NYC listening to Pastor Bernard Live, and you guessed it. GOD SHOWED UP SOME MORE!!

By the time the service was over, and what a service it was, I was full of The Spirit! Something Lifted off of me and I was set free from something that was keeping me bound.

The anointing on me was so powerful. For those who don't know what that is, to put it simply, it is the tangible presence/power of God, gods power on earth to accomplish His Will. Like electricity is power in the natural, think of The Anointing as Power in The Spirit.(But NOT spiritual energy, like new agers dabble in. It is Gods presence and Power, it belongs solely to Him and Him alone)

Anyway, it doesn't end there. I then listened to a service from ALCC here in Syracuse. Called Recompense and Reward. I was well prepared by The Spirit of God to receive the promises of God for the coming year. I don't know if I would have been in the place to receive it if I had not been stuck at work, and "forced" to listen to CCC live feed, instead of being at my church for the service.

When I saw what God was doing and what He had done. Something again broke over me on The Spirit.

Do I know why I had to suffer so much up this point, not fully, but I do know, He was in it with me. Have I had struggles since that night, yes, but I do know I am heading out of the valley toward a glorious mountain top. Has the enemies that bound me for all that time tried to reach their dark little fingers into this year and drag me back, oh yeah, but, Gods anointing has freed me, and they have no claim or hook on me anymore.

Oh The Precious Blood Of Jesus!!!!!!

I share this with you because I want you to know that He is a Faithful God. Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and He really is with you forever, even unto the end of the age. He has not left you. I know some of you are looking around and thinking, you don't know what I am dealing with, you don't know what I have done, you don't know the temptations I deal with every day. You don't know the thoughts I fight, the darkness I feel.

I sure do. And most importantly Jesus does. The Word says He was tempted in EVERY WAY. He is able to understand, help you and SET YOU FREE!! Matter of fact, he has already set you free, if you have accepted Him as Lord and Savior!!! 

My Pastor today, his book, which I highly recommend, is to the right on the sidebar, gave us a "homework" assignment it was to meditate and speak out loud a scripture from Philippians. I leave you with that scripture in a few different version. Make it personal. Say God is at work IN ME.......

I like the first one the best!!!


Philippians 2:13
New Living Translation (NLT)

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.


Philippians 2:13
New International Version (NIV)

For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.



Philippians 2:13
Amplified Bible (AMP)

 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while [a]effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and [b]delight.

You Can't Tell Me!

A song for those struggling with depression!



You cant cause me, to run today
You can't cause me, to quit today

You can't keep me, in bed today
You can't tell me, nothin' matters anyway

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

You cant stop me, in my walk today
You can't tell me, to run away

You can't force me, to frown and cry
You won't tell me, that I should just die

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

I will stand up, and allow my soul to release
I will face the world, with His Joy and PEACE

I will walk with Him, through the heat of pain
I will call for him ,and He will send me His rain

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord

You cant cause me, to run today
You can't cause me, to quit today

You can't keep me, in bed today
You can't tell me, nothin' matters anyway

Because I got The Spirit, of The Lord
I've got The Spirit, of The Lord.....

Every Stronghold Broken!!!



Is it possible to have love and fellowship all around us, and still feel like we have been rejected or left out? It can if we do not allow The Holy Spirit into that stronghold of the soul and mind. We can be surrounded by opportunity to love and be loved, to serve and yes be served, and never see it or enjoy it.


So many leave a place God has ordained them to be, because although they let God bring them so far, they stopped when it came to this one place, a place where closeness and intimacy is. A place where we can cry with a brother or sister. Where we can be transparent with a leader that is offering an open ear.


How much of what we feel to be others judging and/or rejecting us, is, really just our own unhealed feelings telling us that. Or if there is a real friction, how much of that is because we refuse to submit and change? Even if for a time we have to agree to disagree, isn't that what true submission is? Does not The Word say iron sharpens iron?


I am going to change here and say "I", so I can deal with myself, in the hopes of encouraging you.

Am I zealous to a fault, where I speak, write or act without thought for how those younger in The Lord will see it, or comprehend it? Do I take a stand that says "I know what The Lord has told me", yet do not consider how The Leaders above me will have to explain my actions or words?? Or how what I say may effect Gods plan for them and me together?


Am I so wrapped up in how I sense in my heart how the Church should be in the nation, that I forget that what I do and say may just be taking public shots at the church I serve in locally?


Someone said to me today something like "closeness can be scary". Indeed it can be. Submission for so many of us can be even scarier, especially if we feel like we have had to protect and defend ourselves all our lives. Releasing control can be hard and scary.


Relationship, deep relationship, real relationship, so many of us have avoided. Oh we smile, give a high five, chat about work, so many of us never build beyond that. So, when we do begin to draw closer and open up  we find out that, closeness can cause friction. We find out people are human. Instead of letting iron sharpen iron and pressing on with building relationships (building anything takes time, sweat, and sometimes tears). We fall back.


Sometimes we fall back into silence and seclusion. Sometimes just into the shallow, high five, small talk, email relationships we had before. Sometimes, and this is where the heart of this article is shooting at, we reject others, we reject the process, we reject the building plan, we reject everything around us that is crying out for our portion of love and relationship.


Please don't let the enemy stop you now. Not now. Not after all you have been through. Not after all God has done for you and through you. God has placed, somewhere around you,,people who are meant to be lifelong friends, some, not all, very close friends that are so important to your life and, guess what, theirs.


Will you see stuff that stirs those old hurt feelings and make you uncomfortable? Yes of course. Just do the work of the ministry of love and reconciliation and don't give it your attention. Love on people. Join the group that feeds the poor, join that ministry that pulls on your heart, show up for fellowship events,  and be there. Take good advice, if there is something about you that keeps tripping you up and others,well come on now, let it go already, you will be okay. If it is God He will bring it back in a way that doesn't trip you or others...


Love Ya BROTHER OR SISTER!! LETS MAKE 2013 THE YEAR OF RECOMPENSE AND REWARD!!!! Lets allow GOD TO PAY back the devil for all those terrible feelings that have been tripping us up! Every stronghold broken!! None Left for the flesh or enemy to use!

Real Faith Can Cry Out!




Don't let anyone ever tell you that you are whining, complaining or failing in faith when you find yourself continually crying out to The Lord!!!

You are in good company with many great men of God! Including the one that God said was the Apple of His Eye!

Just stay close to Him and end with a declaration of His Faithfulness!!




Psalm 13

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?

How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me.

God So Loved!!! And Still Does




Isaiah 14:12-15



How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart:
I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’

Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.




The very first challenge to Gods Power, Authority, Sovereignty and Love. Lucifer who was once Gods anointed Cherub somehow steps out of his place and begins to think he is the source of his own life and glorious appearance. Pride rises up and Lucifer challenges the very throne of The Almighty. Lucifer also leads others into rebellion who also suffer the same fate as he. Isn’t that what he did in The Garden, and isn’t that what he is still doing today? Lucifer, now Satan, has been pushing and prodding mankind since the beginning to follow in his footsteps of rebellion and pride.

When The Lord instructs us to worship Him and declare that He is good and His mercy endures forever, He isn’t doing that out of a sense of need for Himself. When He commanded the children of Israel to continually reverence and lift up His Name, He wasn’t doing it because He needs anything or is lacking anything in some way. We hold fast to His Word that declares that He is Good, He is Love, He is caring, He is ALIVE, because it is The Truth.

The enemy never stops trying to tell the world and even the church that God is not fair, that He doesn’t care, that He is the one that kills steals and destroys. Satan is the cause of all pain and hurt, sickness and death in the world. Fallen man in his sin, lust and steals, kills and destroys and they then ask why does God let this happen.

Of all the assignments Satan has sent out, I believe this is the chief one, to point the finger of blame at God and challenge His Throne of Grace and Love. We will combat this assignment with The Word of TRUTH, concerning our Gods Love! Praise Jesus!





Deuteronomy 7:6-9


“For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the LORD loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

“Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;



Isn’t is awesome to know that God chose us. After all, we are the seed of Abraham in Christ. The blessings, the covenant that God made with Abraham, He made to us through Christ Jesus! And what does verse 8 say?: but because the LORD loves you.

God made His covenant with you long before you ever took your first breath on this earth. He was faithful to keep it, from century to century, millennium to millennium and from generation to generation. He chose you, He made covenant with you, He loved you, and in the fullness of time, He redeemed you. The Love of God is not the emotion that man operates from most of the time. The Love of God is covenant, it is faithfulness, it is loyalty, it is devotion to your well being. He is Love, to deny His Love for you, would be to deny Himself. Praise be to Jesus and The Father of our LORD Jesus Christ!




John 3:14-17(Amplified)



And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.



If there was ever a doubt about The Love of God, it is settled right here. God so greatly LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE. What did He give? A half offering, a small gift? No, He gave all He could possibly give. God Himself became man and gave His very own life for the world. I don’t think our human minds can grasp the value of what God did for us in Jesus.

He literally could not have given anymore than what He gave. He not only gave His only begotten son, whom He greatly loved, beyond any human comprehension. He not only laid His life down in “martyrdom” like many saints have. He laid down His very essence. The eternally Holy Son became a curse, became sin, suffered spiritual death for mankind. Jesus,when He walked the earth demonstrated Gods Love for man, by healing all who were oppressed by the Devil.

Always remember there is no separating supernatural healing and deliverance and The Love of God. Every time The Lord heals and delivers through you, you are demonstrating The Love of God and showing the enemy to be a liar.

The Lord of Hosts is Able!



There is a war coming to our streets. Christian Men must understand the scripture that says "we do not battle against flesh and blood....."  in the days ahead.
My spirit is disturbed by what I see. The trickery of the enemy has set up the majority of Christian men,especially in The South, and our inner cities, to fail the coming test and trial.

Gods answer to the darkness IS NOT a Militia, not a Gang. It is not a Gun. It is not wrapping yourself in The Flag and 2 Amendment Rights!

His answer is The Church, Prayer! The Sword of The Spirit,The Armor of God, and The Word of God!!!


I say this by The Spirit of God. You man, need to fully understand this and not allow fear,pride and the flesh to cause you to be swept up in something that plays right into the enemies hand. More to come as The Lord wills.



Ephesians 6:12-13
New King James Version (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.



Psalm 20:6-8
New King James Version (NKJV)

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.



Isaiah 31:1
New King James Version (NKJV)

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
And rely on horses,
Who trust in chariots because they are many,
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
Nor seek the Lord!

The Transformed Life by John R. Carter


 

One of the greatest challenges people face in today’s culture is how to connect. In a distracted, disrupted, and rapidly transforming world, how do we meaningfully engage with others, ourselves, and God? That’s why “The Transformed Life” by John Carter is so important. It’s a road map for experiencing what the Bible teaches about personal transformation. We’ll never transform our culture if our lives are not changed first, and this is an owner’s manual for biblical change.

The Lord Of Hosts!

Jesus came to DESTROY, not put up with, not live side by side with, not tolerate! But to destroy, undo, unravel,decimate the works of The Enemy!!!! And He delegated, and commissioned us to do the same with His same Power and Authority!!!


    Acts 10:37-38 New King James Version (NKJV)

37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.



1 John 3:8
New King James Version (NKJV)

8 He who sins(PRACTICES SIN) is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

The Puzzle






There are times in prayer that everything The Lord is showing me is like pieces of a Puzzle. This happens to me quite a few times a year. Some puzzle have less pieces and come together more quickly, some have many complex pieces and take longer.

Now naturally, I hate doing puzzles. I do not have the patience for them, and I can already see the picture on the box, so what is the point. :)

"Prayer Puzzles", terrible phrase for it, are much like natural puzzles. It takes focus, patience and trust in The Lord to keep pressing in until He brings it all together. Unlike natural puzzles though, there is no box to look at the end result.

You can see it coming together, but sometimes it is not fully what you were thinking. At times the finished product is a wonderful picture, and other times I have been praying and interceding for something that is not so wonderful.

I felt led to post this, because I am looking at one of the most powerful,complex puzzles I have had in a long time. Some parts are really good, some seem to have darkness covering them, confusion and chaos.

But, I know The Lord is working all these puzzles pieces together and creating the intended outcome for His People and His Church. Both Locally and In The NATIONS!!!


Keep Praying!!!

Keep Seeking!!

He Is Faithful  He Is Mighty!!

He Is LORD OF ALL!!

Let The King Of Glory Come In!!





Pain is interesting. There are days I will never forget because of pain. There are things I will never do again, by the grace of God, because of pain. There are struggles I have with trust, still, because of pain. I still feel anger at times because of pain.


But, I am also stronger than many people, because of pain. I understand, what many others do not, because of pain. I can have compassion, and empathy, for those who others cast off, because of pain. I believe I can walk where others can't, tread where others cant, fight where others can't, all in part, because of the pain I have been through and dealt with.


God causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His Purposes!


Will you allow Him to turn your pain into victory for yourself and countless others?? It starts with you allowing Him in. Lowering the walls, opening the gates, and allowing The King of Glory to touch,heal and love you!  

When the perspective you have of your past changes: The Vision of your Call and Destiny clears up.

The Storm





“The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is in putting down roots as deeply as possible."

Corrie Ten Boom



Early this morning The Lord began to speak to me about standing in prayer even during the storm. When I saw that the hurricane did not weaken but actually strengthen after what I felt was a powerful anointed prayer yesterday, I began to ask why. He stopped me before I could and reminded me that we are not to be moved by what we feel or see.




He spoke to me about this for some time, I think to make sure I got it. I came away with a different mindset. Those who are called to prayer and intercession must not be moved by what they feel or see. We must be able to stay strong in faith, stay focused on God and fervent in prayer even during the storms that arise. Even during the storms that we tell to move, yet instead move right over us, or those we are interceding for.

Protection in the storm for Gods people and The Church. Guidance in the darkness for Gods people and The Church. Angelic guards during the worst of storms for Gods People and The Church.


I was reminded of Paul on the ship. The crew did not listen to the warning and sailed anyway. Yet even during the storm when all hope was lost, God spoke to Paul through an Angel, the cargo they wanted to get delivered so badly would be lost, yet lives would be saved.

There will be storms coming soon.
There will be shipwrecks coming soon.

But in Gods divine providence, He has already figured it all in and has a plan to bring Glory to His name and fulfill His Plan on earth, just like He did with Paul after the shipwreck, it opened up that place to The Gospel and for God to display His Power and Glory in The NAME OF JESUS!



“The tree on the mountain takes whatever the weather brings. If it has any choice at all, it is in putting down roots as deeply as possible."
