CRY OF HIS SERVANTS SERIES-5

 

 

THE SWORD HAS ARRIVED-1: I am reminded of the vision I had in the summer of 2004 when I heard the word “explosion” three times, then I saw three small missiles explode; these missiles were put together here in America.  One went off on the east coast in Washington D. C. another in New York and the other in California.  In another vision I saw myself standing in Boston MA. In this vision I was holding my cedar staff and I saw a sign appear in front of me that read; “THE END OF DAYS AND THE END OF ALL THINGS”. The question most important is, where will you be in the end? What will you do with the time you have left?  The most important thing we can do is to prepare spirituality and then physically. We must begin to get back to the Basics of the Word of God as the Word being our very foundation.  Help those in need to grow up as the Body of Christ and shun every wind of doctrine that is flying around the internet. When the Kingdom age comes to an end, Jesus will hand the Kingdom over to the Father; in so doing it will be finished and complete. The only thing that was finish on the cross was salvation. In Daniel 9 the Messiah was cut off / slain in the middle of the week, the last half of the week is for the new covenant pilgrims to finish. Each generation, since the time of Christ ushering the beginning of the Kingdom age in, has been appointed to finish the last half of the week. There is a war going on right now, not only civil war but spiritual war for your very soul. The Church must hear and see the hour we live in.  Most of the Church has missed the call of the prophets and have missed what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church. It is so very important that we as the body of Christ need to come into accountability.  We need a fresh word from Papa God; we need to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to the Church and we need to hear the Prophets warnings, but we must stop this cycle of internet junk. We need a fresh awakening with true signs and wonders and true repentance.  The body of Christ needs true wisdom and discernment.  Where is the once great awakening that took place in the Church with true holiness? We need to be shaking on our face before the Lord God Almighty. Let us return unto the Lord God with fear and trembling, so that we once again will walk with true power and authority, tearing down the kingdom of satan. Oh, that people would come into true salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ. Men need to be men and stand up and take your place on the wall; be a man of righteousness. We must mark those who minister among us. We must build relationship so when the words come forth we will know if it is from God Almighty. It is time the Body of Christ test all things and hold to what is good. The day has come; no longer will you get by the prophets of God; for God is raising up His two witness company the prophets, and with them will come the true bride of Christ to do mighty works on the earth.  VMI Matthew Stephen September 8, 2009

 

 

THE SWORD HAS ARRIVED-2: Then as I looked just behind the cloud I saw brightness and there appeared seven angels flying in the same direction as the cloud moved very swiftly to the west. Just then four of the angels stopped and stood there; they began to turn in different direction; one facing the north, south, east and west.  They lifted up there right arms and were holding golden trumpets.  As they put these trumpets to their mouths I heard a very loud, loud trumpet blast! Then I heard Lord Say, “The hour has come, the time is at hand, it is a great mystery, that great mystery is America. The seven years of plenty are coming to an end and it will be the beginning of a different famine for America. There will be floods, droughts, fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes beyond anything America has ever seen in the past.  I will cause such a famine; there will be food and water shortage beyond anything America has ever gone through. The weather will be so extreme.  It will go from hot to cold then back to hot then to cold;  It will rain one day and be hot the next; there will be floods that will contaminate water and food supplies and there will be droughts at the same time that will cause water and food shortages; the fields will dry up and wither. This is my smallest judgment.  As my judgment falls on America there will be panic and fear and many people will begin to turn on one another like a pack of wolfs that have not eaten for a week. America will be divided beyond measure. The impact will be far greater than all the disasters that has ever happen within her; she will fall, never to rise again.  Her pride of sin has reached the heavens.  America, you will cry for peace, peace and you will ask; where is the prosperity we once had?  There will be many who will sell their soul for peace and prosperity, but there shall be none. Then, in one hour, a coming destruction will come upon you like a whirlwind sweeping through a desert.  I will bring invaders in to take the land; your sons and daughters will die by the sword and in one hour I will shake America like she has never been shaking before. She will take a great fall. You say you live in comfort; you say all is well, it’s great.  We have our jobs, we have our fine homes.  We have our fine clothes, our pearls and our jewelry. We have our money and gold, we have all the food we need as well as our grocery stores. We have our shopping malls, our movies and restaurants. We have our business and fine cars; we have our sports and parties; we have our security and gates. America, you say you have it all.  America, you say in your heart with your pride; look what our hands have built, look what we have done; look what we own.  For you say it is yours. America, you say you are in control; you say in your heart, we will eat drink and be merry. America, you say you are unsinkable; you say we will never see the sword or judgment; tomorrow we will go where we want and buy what we want. “I, the Lord God Almighty say to you, in One Hour it will all be gone, in One Hour it will all burn, in One Hour it will all rot, in One Hour it will all vanish.”

 

This is what the Lord says: “America, The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. Therefore America will mourn and the heavens above grow dark because I have spoken and will not relent I have decided and will not turn back. Your country is desolate, your cities burned  with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.” In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble. “Tell my people, all who fear my name and all who obey my commands, for all who love my truth, and all who love one another, for all who lay down their lives for my name sake, I will be their shield and I will cover them in my love; have you not read that perfect love cast out all fear. Tell my people, I love them. Tell my people the fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely, how blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream.

 

The officials of America are nothing but fools, the wise counselors of the President give senseless advice. How can you say to the President, I am one of the wise men? Where are your wise men now? Let them show you and make known what the Lord Almighty has planned against America. The officials of America have become fools and the leaders of the Church institutions are deceived, the cornerstones of her peoples have led America astray. The Lord has poured into them a spirit of dizziness; they make America stagger in all that she does, as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit. There is nothing America can do, head or tail. In that day the Americans will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the Lord Almighty raises against them. The land of the desert will bring terror to the Americans. Everyone one who dwells in America will be terrified because of what the Lord Almighty is planning against them. America, I will bring your evil plans to nothing. Those who sit on the Hill of the nation will one day be found in a trench. America is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes you and its people must bear their guilt. The floodgates of the heavens are opened and the foundations of America are being shaken.

 

Go my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until His wrath has passed by. See, the Lord is coming out of His dwelling to punish the people of America for their sins. “I say to you Repent now, come to me now for I am merciful; those who turn from the things of this world; those who come out of her, I will cover you with my right hand until my wrath has pass by”. A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. Proverbs 22:3 VMI Matthew Stephen October, 2007 / 2009

JUDGMENT OF PERSISTENT UNFAITHFULNESS: The Cry for holiness in America is very distant from the hearts of men.  America has fallen far from the founding Fathers that paid a price with their lives. We are in a time when we are near the closing of this kingdom age.  America was a nation that was sent around the world with gifts of mercy and the gospel of Jesus Christ, but corruption has entered in and instead of the gospel being taken around the world, filth and abominations are taken around the world. America, your government has turned its back on God Almighty and the Church has stopped calling for repentance.  No more do you hear the sound of Holiness unto the Lord. America, your people have turned from me. So many of the children of God have fallen from truth and are committing grievous sin and think they are not sinning. If you would examine the scriptures you will see that it is a great sin. Cheap grace is no grace at all. Jesus did not call His disciples to take up their grace and follow Him but rather to take up their cross and follow Him. When Christ calls a people, He bids them to come and die and taking up their cross. Preaching forgiveness without repentance is no preaching at all and is a sign of cheap grace. Cheap grace is watered down discipleship. Grace may be free but it is very costly; it cost God the Father His own Son. A costly grace comes with a price and must be sought to find life. Jesus said, “He who gives up everything to follow me is truly my disciples, for narrow is the gate that leads to life and it will cost you everything;” yet few ever find it. One thing you can be sure of, when the cost rises, people bail out. Jesus said that no greater love can one have but to lay down his life for another. Are you ready to do that today? Are you ready for the healing power of Repentance today? You can do nothing to earn grace, yet you must give everything up to walk in it.

What happen to the Holiness and Truth of the “Reformation Truth” we once had in America? The reformation was more than a religious movement. It threatened economic engines and political power bases. These were men of righteousness who stood for truth and spoke out against such SIN as same sex marriage, sodomite life style, the murdering of  babies, the rape of women, millions sold into sex trafficking, the whoredom of pornography, Sexual immorality and promiscuity that is running rampant. Divorce and murder is at an all-time high and there are no righteousness men in Washington D.C. today.

 

We should pray, Oh righteous God have mercy on us, forgive us, we repent as the Church.  Bring Your righteous Judgment on us, your Church and on America and the Nations. Almighty God bring a fire of Judgment upon all wickedness and let the wrath of the Almighty God pour forth on all evil. We repent, as the bride, before You this day.  Oh, that we may weep for the sins of the people; that we may be purified by your righteous blood and have clothes of holiness, not the clothes of red apparel as the whores dress but white linen, washed in the blood of Jesus Christ. Oh that we would lay our lives down, even unto our death to be free from the things of this world and the world systems. Oh God, raise up the Peter’s, James and John’s, raise up the Moses and Elijah’s, the Jeremiah’s, Ezekiel’s and Daniels. The last day move of God will once again shake everything on this earth as the bride company takes a mighty stand against the kingdom of satan and destroys the works of darkness. The bride of Christ will do mighty acts of great signs and wonders in the name of Jesus Christ; beyond anything the earth has ever known. However, during this time, the Bride will be made pure in the greatest persecution and darkness the earth has ever known. Today, all we see is a politically correct Government, a politically correct Church and politically correct education systems. 

 

The current condition of the nation is a reflection of the church.  Righteous exalts a nation but America is in a spiral of darkness.

 

Where are the people of God standing today? Where is the cry for truth; the cry to repent of our sins and to be wash in the Blood of the Lamb? Two of the greatest gifts are first Wisdom then Discernment. This is what has been missing in the Church pulpits today; the call for Holy Spirit Wisdom and Discernment, sent from the throne room of the Holy God. Wisdom calls out in the streets, she raises her voice in the public squares; at the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech: How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? Proverbs 1:20-33.

 

“The prophet in his day is fully accepted of God and totally rejected by men. He has no price tag.” Len Ravenhill

 

Judgment on Persistent Unfaithfulness; The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: “Son of man I will cut off its supply of bread, send famine on it, and cut off man and beast from it.  Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness,” says the Lord GOD. Read Ezekiel 14:12-23  

 

The age of grace, found in the heart of man, brought forth an anything goes Church of persistent unfaithfulness, which knows not how to please God because it is too busy trying to please man; filling their pockets with gold and gold dust and looking to bring a church of entertainment into a world that is dying.  We have a church that has walk without the fear of God Almighty and has become powerless. “Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of the Church.” Dietrich Bonheoffer 

 

 

The world is searching for answers and they are looking for the power of God but are not seeking Christianity because the Church has lost its flavor and is walking around powerless. According George Barna www.barna.org  Christian market research firm Theme 1: Increasingly, Americans are more interested in faith and spirituality than in Christianity. “Faith remains a hot topic in America these days,” George Barna commented, expanding on the theme. “Politicians, athletes, cultural philosophers, teachers, entertainers, musicians – nearly everyone has something to say about faith, religion, spirituality, morality, and belief these days. But as the fundamental values and assumptions of our nation continue to shift, so do our ideas about faith and spirituality. Many of our basic assumptions are no longer firm or predictable. “One of those assumptions relates to how we develop our faith. These days,” he continued, “the faith arena is a marketplace from which we get ideas, beliefs, relationships, habits, rituals and traditions that make immediate sense to us, and with which we are comfortable. The notion of associating with a particular faith – whether it is Christianity, Judaism, Islam, or some other strain – still has appeal because that connection provides a discernible identity and facilitates the possibility of belonging to something meaningful. But the actual components of what we choose to belong to are driven by our momentary needs and perceptions. The purpose of faith, for most Americans, is not so much to discover truth or to relate to a loving, praiseworthy deity as it is to become happy, successful, comfortable and secure. For a growing percentage of citizens, their sense of spirituality, more than Christianity, facilitates those outcomes.”Some of the related survey results Barna cited from this year’s 2009 studies included: Just 50% of adults contend that Christianity is still the automatic faith of choice in the US Half of all adults (50%) argue that a growing number of people they know are tired of having the same church experience.
