PROPHETIC VOICES OF SHILOH    #  1    CRY  OF  THE  WATCHMAN

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CHURCH TODAY!

Dear Saints, the season of change is upon the land. It is very important to seek Jesus for discernment like never before. He dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.  I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my God, in whom I trust. Psalm 91:1-2

I would ask that you would begin to really ask the Lord Jesus about what is going on in the church. What is truth in the church you attend? Are they teaching the whole gospel or part of it? Are we trying to find our comfort zone? Like, for example, we go to church, and we agree with a comfort type gospel that lines up with our doctrine. What I am saying is not a judgment call on anybody.

I would pray to Jesus on my knees, "Lord, I know you are truth, and your Word is truth. Please teach me your Holy Word like never before." Let the Holy Spirit teach you, as you begin to have a hunger for His Word and His truth. When I say le the Lord teach you, I don't mean man or the pastor. What I hear the Lord saying to His church is, "Come to Me all those who are hungry for truth and righteousness." Let us put aside all that we think we know, or what man, pastor or anybody else has said. Let us wash our hearts in the Blood of the Lamb. Take what we think is doctrine and throw it out the window, and say, "Lord Jesus, teach me your Bible truths and Your Words." For that to happen, we need to ask for a hunger to read His Word day and night. Study His Word, just you and Lord Jesus by your self. Bible study at church or with others can happen later on, other days. Just get before the Lord - - - all alone - - - and learn of Him and His Holy Word.

Go back and ask the Lord, as an example, "What bout Your coming again? Is it Rapture or Resurrection?  Is it before the tribulation or after tribulation?  Are the gifts of the Holy Spirit for today? Are Signs and Wonders for today? Should I feed the poor or help that unemployed family out with blessings?"  

What does the Bible say about these things? Don't go and ask the pastor or someone else. Get on your knees and ask the Lord.  Then read His Word.  The answer is there.  Are we afraid of what we may find? Are we afraid of the answer we might get?  Seek the Lord while He may be found. (read Acts 2:42-47)

I was on a nation wide talk show last year, a lady called in and she said that she attends a non-denominational Christian church. She asked the pastor if she could hang a picture in the congregation that had a Scripture on it. It said, "If My people would repent, humble themselves, fast and pray, then I would hear from heaven and heal their land." The pastor said, "OK, hang it up in the church." Within two weeks the people demanded to take the picture down, because they felt it was judgment call. The pastor said, "OK, take it down." So they did. You don't even hear about sin issues in the church. Are we so afraid of losing money and numbers? WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CHURCH TODAY?

Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature - - - from that nature he will reap destruction. The one who sows to please the Holy Spirit - - - from the Holy Spirit he will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the household of God, Galatians 6:7-10.

Now we ask you brothers to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and admonish you. Hold them in highest regard in love because of their work in the Lord. Live in peace with each other. And we urge you brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back evil for evil, but try to be kind to each other, and to everyone else. Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for his is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Do not put out the Spirit's fire. Do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold to what is good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and He will do it. Brothers, pray for us, greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, I Thessalonians 5:12-28.

We as a people must cry out and repent and humble ourselves, and ask for the mercy of the Lord. The nation and the church at large is unwilling to listen to the cry of the watchman. Therefore the Lord is sending His judgment.

We live in a day, when the time of the end of the age is closing. The time to get in the Ark is now. Seek Papa and ask which way to go. We must go in deep to the hand to Papa and seek Jesus Christ. No one knows the day or hour of His return, but the time and the season is very close.

What will be in store for America and the Nations?

As the Lord Jesus unveils His plan, remember the Time Clock! What will be the time, and when will all things take place, the voice said June of 1994 - June 1996. After that, all these events will begin to unfold.

His servant,                                                               May 10, 1997
