1. EDITORIAL: For the Body of Christ - a dream!
In this dream, I found myself standing in the locker room of a "professional" team. I was in the midst of a huge group of men and
women who were the brightest and the best at what they did. And they knew it! Very much like many of the athletes and
"luminaries" of our age, the pride and arrogance that emanated from these "professionals" hung over that locker room like a thick
black cloud...
I watched as the owner of that professional team attempted to address his players, but they ignored him. These "professionals"
were so taken by themselves, that they literally turned their back on the team owner, and disregarded his every attempt to instruct
and guide them.
Finally, after the owner made considerable attempts to gain the attention of his players, he declared that enough was enough, and
that their services were no longer needed. He would find replacements for each of them, and as of that moment they were,
"Fired!"
The interpretation of this dream is transparent, but its transparency needs to be stated once again, so that the Body of Christ will
fully comprehend the message and moving of God in their midst.
It is extremely clear that the Lord was presenting His decree against the leaders of the religious organizations of our day.
The "professionals" that I saw being fired, those who were present in His locker room, were the pastor's, teachers, evangelists
and apostolic leaders of every church body that has falsely represented Him, His Son Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit and His
Word... God has issued a final decree to those whom He has gifted and provided for, but who have turned their back on His
Love, Faith and Truth. God has been sending a final call to repentance throughout the world to those appointed leaders, but those
who have refused to listen to Him have now been officially fired!
Throughout the Old and New Testament, God has declared that He would ultimately shake everything in the heavens and on
earth (Amos 9:9; Haggai 2:6-7; Luke 21:25-26; Hebrews 12:26-28) in His final cleansing of this creation. Unquestionably, He
shook the world spiritually at Pentecost, when His Holy Spirit first fell upon the body of Christ. But in these latter days, He is
about to shake everything, including His Body, "Yet once more"... "And this expression, 'Yet once more,' denotes the removing
of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain"
(Hebrews 12:27 NASB).
Clearly, beloved, God is seeking faithful servants who will humbly abide by His instructions. And those who refuse - can now
consider themselves "FIRED". Replacements are on the way!
Please begin to pray fervently for God's "replacements". They are going to need our full support.
2. FEATURE ARTICLE: State of the Union - another dream!
Ever since our national elections on November 7th., our nation, and the world, have been mesmerized by the processes and
abuses to our constitution, as well as by the antics of our politicians and their advisors.
Like many of you, our household prayed and fasted for our nation before the election. We fervently sought an outpouring of
God's grace, that would lead the people of this country back to God; that we would elect a righteous president... Since the
election, we have continued to pray for a righteous outcome to our election. In spite of the fact that the "Popular Vote" may have
gone in one direction, we still held hope that the "Electoral College" would yet produce the results we thought were from God.
On the evening of November 12, however, after Governor George Bush's campaign advisors filed an injunction against a manual
recount of the Florida vote, in a very sloppy manner, the Lord gave me a dream. In that dream, He opened my eyes to the
spiritual reality of our candidates, and the possible fate of our nation!
Unlike the countless Email messages that I am receiving, which are proclaiming the righteousness of George Bush, and the
absolute evil of Albert Gore, my dream - a very crude dream, by the way - depicted the nature of the deception that is being
played-out today in our land... This was a very vivid dream, beloved, and as I said, it was very crude. Nevertheless, the message
- and its interpretation - colors a very clear picture of God's Word to us today. I am not going to be as explicit as the dream itself,
because I do not know how to put these things into words that are acceptable. The crudeness of the dream though, is a clear
representation of God's absolute disdain for our faithlessness, double-mindedness and unrighteousness. We have placed man
over God; arrogance over godly humility, and God is about to vomit this country - as it stands today - out from His presence.
Unless the Body of Christ truly comes together in an appeal to our Heavenly Father, tribulation is about to come upon us!
In my dream, I saw our nation represented by a man, lying on his back - naked and aroused. Two whores were attending to him.
It is not important that I go into detail over what the whores were doing... What is significant though, is that you know that one
whore wore the name: Albert Gore, while the second whore wore the name: George Bush! I awoke...
Over the following days, I prayed about this dream, and sought God's intended message; I sought His interpretation. The
following is what the Lord has given me:
Our nation, seen as an aroused naked man, lying on his back, depicts the nature of our country today. We are a country fallen
from grace, barren of spiritual covering and truth, and excited by the glamour, beauty and allure of everything sensual and worldly.
Lying on our back, we are in the most exposed and weakened position possible. We are a people without discernment or
discretion, and are therefore easily enticed by words, actions and deeds; words, actions and deeds that are paraded before us,
like a play in a theater, merely for the purpose of deceit. The lies, deceptions and shortcomings of the "noble" causes presented to
us throughout the current political campaign, and now throughout this recount nightmare - have been, and are being ignored, by
the Church and by the citizens of our country, because our wallets are fat; our cupboards are full and our eyes are satisfied. While
many souls are yearning for righteousness, Satan has laid this nation bare to his deceptions, and just like Israel in the desert, we
have played the harlot with our idols, and have turned away from God.
As for the candidates:
The first whore, the one wearing the name: Albert Gore, is depicted in the dream as an oral manipulator. The character of the man
is clearly shown in his actions following the election. He has enticed the majority of the citizens of this nation - through his mouth -
by his lies. There is no truth in this individual, only deception. Every act, every word spoken, is calculated. This is a very small
man; an individual wholly incapable of tolerating any who would question his "authority" or "motives"! Repentance and humility are
not within his grasp, and God is none of his concern.
If the Lord permits Mr. Gore to become our president, morality will fade even further into the memory of the general population
of the United States. Internationally, peace will evaporate within a very short period of his inauguration. Mr. Gore will not be able
to restrain himself in the international arena, and will lead this nation into a war - and through that war we will lose our freedoms
and liberties, as we bow to the pressures of the UN and the NWO...
Mr. Gore will follow in the path already established by Mr. Clinton, and will complete the sale of our nation to those who would
destroy everything that our founding father's had established... "One nation under God" will not be uttered again!
The second whore, the one wearing the name: George Bush, is depicted in the dream as one who is muffling the voice of all that
remain righteous and true in this country. In the dream, he is pictured in a position that is stifling the voice of God's faithful
children. Mr. Bush skirted every moral issue throughout his campaign, ignoring the plea's of righteous people to speak out for
God and against the sins of our nation. Mr. Bush muffled those voices by following his agenda - while enticing God's children with
exciting promises of future righteous acts.
In all probability, those future righteous acts will not occur!
If the Lord permits Mr. Bush to become our president, there will be an attempt to reconcile the peoples of this country. He will
attempt to seek a healing for those who voted against him. Sadly, however, these maneuverings toward making peace will further
dilute the anxious cries of God's children, because Mr. Bush will attempt to satisfy everybody - while in effect he will satisfy
nobody.
Therefore, morality, truth and righteousness will be ignored. In spite of the fact that Mr. Bush will be working with a republican
controlled house and senate, no moves will be made to correct any errors of the past. No move will be made to upset those who
have voted against his presidency.
While Mr. Bush will not openly follow Mr. Clinton's lead, he will eventually end up on the same path as Mr. Gore. (Unless God's
decree can be changed).
The economy is going to sour regardless of who presides in the oval office. If Mr. Bush is the victor, the majority who voted
against him will openly blame the republican president, house and senate - without any regard to the fact that the slide is already
happening... If Mr. Gore is the victor, the Gore supporters, and now the disillusioned Bush voters, will simply blame the
republican controlled house and senate for any of Mr. Gore's failures. In either scenario, the republicans will overwhelmingly
loose control of the house and senate in two years.
If Mr. Gore becomes our president, it is likely that he will remain in office for a full two terms. The second half of his first term,
and his entire second term, will be completed with Democratic Party control of the house and the senate.
Mr. Bush, on the other hand, will be a one-term president. The second half of his one term will be under the strict control of a
Democratic Party controlled house and senate. And finally, if Mr. Bush becomes our president, his democratic opponent in 2004
will be none other than Hilary Clinton. And she will win! Jezebel will return to power...
Admittedly, I have been praying that this dream and this message are NOT written in blood. The question I continue to pose
before the Throne of God is, "Father, can Your heart be changed?" Throughout Scripture we are told that the righteous prayers
of the righteous children of God can accomplish much. But, I think we are too proud to sit in the streets wearing sackcloth, with
dust on our heads, in order to make such a plea unto God. We are too proud to humble ourselves sufficiently before God to
sway His decree...
And yet, this is exactly what we need to do TODAY!
We must unite in prayer for our country. If we have become so desensitized by the media coverage, that we have already thrown
our arms up in the air - over this election, then what hope is there for us to sustain a period of prayer, fasting and mourning for our
land and our people, that could possibly sway God's decree?
Mr. Bush is a Christian. He is being wrongfully advised on some fronts, but he is nonetheless a child of the Living God. Mr. Gore
is not! Our only hope is that Mr. Bush will gain the presidency of this nation, and that through the intercessory prayer of God's
children across the land and around the world, he will truly humble his heart before God - and call upon God for guidance and
direction - without regard for what any man thinks.
Perhaps if God's children truly humble their hearts before Him, and if the leaders of this nation will do the same, as the king and
people of Nineveh did during the time of Jonah's prophecy, God may turn His heart away from our immediate destruction.
(Interestingly, Beloved, at no time during this vision did I ever get an impression of who the ultimate winner of our presidential
race was going to be. Perhaps God is waiting to see how we are going to react throughout all of this, and will ultimately decide
based upon our faithfulness)...
