Our training as intercessors will go to the next level under this new day. The day America chose darkness over light (it's not about the person elected as much as the conscience of America. Our conscience is seared and we have chosen death instead of LIFE.
Let us not grow weary in well doing. We can still push back darkness and contend for cities, regions and nations to be spared, etc. Prophets will be sent to evil rulers with mighty power, warnings followed with signs and wonders. We win, just like Elijah, Daniel, Joseph and many others before us. And those who have not survived their lion's den experiences won also.
We are truly entering into the Great & Terrible/Awesome in Power Day of the Lord!
Ezekiel 7
Judgment on Israel Is Near
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2 “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord GOD to the land of Israel:‘ An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now the end has come upon you,
And I will send My anger against you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
4 My eye will not spare you,
Nor will I have pity;
But I will repay your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst;
Then you shall know that I am the LORD!’
5 “Thus says the Lord GOD:
‘ A disaster, a singular disaster;
Behold, it has come!
6 An end has come,
The end has come;
It has dawned for you;-headline from sfgate.com
Barack Obama: 'A New Dawn Has Come To America'
Behold, it has come!7 Doom has come to you, you who dwell in the land;
The time has come,
A day of trouble is near,
And not of rejoicing in the mountains.
8 Now upon you I will soon pour out My fury,
And spend My anger upon you;
I will judge you according to your ways,
And I will repay you for all your abominations.
9 ‘ My eye will not spare,
Nor will I have pity;
I will repay you according to your ways,
And your abominations will be in your midst.
Then you shall know that I am the LORD who strikes.
10 ‘ Behold, the day!
Behold, it has come!
Doom has gone out;
The rod has blossomed,
Pride has budded.
11 Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness;
(our violence has risen into a rod/ruler of wickedness)
None of them shall remain,
None of their multitude,
None of them;
Nor shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time has come,
The day draws near.
‘ Let not the buyer rejoice,
Nor the seller mourn,
For wrath is on their whole multitude.
13 For the seller shall not return to what has been sold,
Though he may still be alive;
For the vision concerns the whole multitude,
And it shall not turn back;
No one will strengthen himself
Who lives in iniquity.
(This is the scripture that really spoke to me. Because the trumpet was blown throughout the churches of California and out of how many million Christians only 30,000 came to battle at Qualcomm stadium in San Diego; it holds 75,000 for concerts, I bet that many would have came for U2)
14 ‘ They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready,
But no one goes to battle;
For My wrath is on all their multitude.
15 The sword is outside,
And the pestilence and famine within.
Whoever is in the field
Will die by the sword;
And whoever is in the city,
Famine and pestilence will devour him.
16 ‘ Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains
Like doves of the valleys,
All of them mourning,
Each for his iniquity.
17 Every hand will be feeble,
And every knee will be as weak as water.
18 They will also be girded with sackcloth;
Horror will cover them;
Shame will be on every face,
Baldness on all their heads.
19 ‘ They will throw their silver into the streets,
And their gold will be like refuse;
(This verse also stuck out. It is a song lyric on the new Luke Wood album and I feel it is a very prophetic CD)
Their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them
In the day of the wrath of the LORD;
They will not satisfy their souls,
Nor fill their stomachs,-this has been my/our greatest downfall
Because it became their stumbling block of iniquity.
20 ‘ As for the beauty of his ornaments,
He set it in majesty;
But they made from it
The images of their abominations—
Their detestable things;
Therefore I have made it
Like refuse to them.
21 I will give it as plunder -the media is completely given over to our enemies
Into the hands of strangers,
And to the wicked of the earth as spoil;
And they shall defile it.
22 I will turn My face from them,
And they will defile My secret place;
For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
23 ‘ Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
(Those that break the bands of God's law asunder, and cast away those cords from them, will find themselves bound and held by the chains of his judgments, which they cannot break nor cast from them. The chain signified the siege of Jerusalem, or the slavery of those that were carried into captivity, or that they were all bound over to the righteous judgment of God, reserved in chains.)
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses; -Government will take over (socialism)
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. -Christians will be forced to accept homosexuality, businesses, churches, etc.
25 Destruction comes;
They will seek peace, but there shall be none.
26 Disaster will come upon disaster,
And rumor will be upon rumor.
Then they will seek a vision from a prophet;
But the law will perish from the priest, -pastors not willing to take a stand for righteousness, because of the cost
And counsel from the elders.
27 ‘ The king will mourn,
The prince will be clothed with desolation,
And the hands of the common people will tremble.
I will do to them according to their way,
And according to what they deserve I will judge them;
Then they (all of us) shall know that I am the LORD!’”
I do not welcome this word, it does not make me happy, I do not want judgment, I do not want to see God's anger manifested, I tremble as I write this and pray that I will truly enter into a Jeremiah 9 season, I wish we all would of been in a Jeremiah 9 season already, but we have all played the harlot with this world system, and God will bring us out one way or another. And I believe that The Call California was not in vain. God heard the cries and it will spare millions. But overall the cry for mercy did not tip the scales and the cry for change (evil times ahead) was louder.
We have just put a king in place, we have not elected a President, but a king was raised up by God. Just like He anointed a king to take his people captive in Daniel's day, he has done it again.
Some commentary:
The day of real trouble is near, not a mere echo or rumour of troubles. Whatever are the fruits of God's judgments, our sin is the root of them.
Sooner or later, sin will cause sorrow; and those who will not repent of their sin, may justly be left to pine away in it. There are many whose wealth is their snare and ruin; and the gaining the world is the losing of their souls. Riches profit not in the day of wrath. The wealth of this world has not that in it which will answer the desires of the soul, or be any satisfaction to it in a day of distress. God's temple shall stand them in no stead. Those are unworthy to be honoured with the form of godliness, who will not be governed by its power.
Whoever break the bands of God's law, will find themselves bound and held by the chains of his judgments. Since they encouraged one another to sin, God would dishearten them.
