LISTEN FOR THE SHOUT

November 26 2007

Prophetic fulfillment often comes in waves, or in clusters.

This week past and in particular this day, we have seen a mighty wave of fulfillment crash upon this generation.

Many peoples will tell you that there is no way that we can know when the time is near, yet our Savior has commanded us to watch and to know that the time is at hand.

Any student of scripture that is honest within himself and has no motive other than the truth will find it difficult to deny the facts that we discuss in this letter.

It is near even at the door. (Matthew 24:33)

First let us take a short look at some scripture that is very pertinent to today’s news headlines.

Zechariah 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshophat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Revelation 16:12 And the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

This is a very short list of scripture that details what we are about to see.

Today in our nations capitol the leaders or their hand picked representatives of forty six nations began to gather under the hopes of coming to some sort of a path to proceed to divide up the nation of Israel, in order to allow a type of peace to come to the middle east.

In 1948, the nation of Israel was born overnight by the words on a document that granted the Jews their very own homeland.

Since that day the world has struggled over the question of how to wrestle that homeland away from them once and for all.

The gathering at Annapolis Maryland will not answer that question, yet will reveal to the world once and for all, just how difficult this process will be.

There will be no permanent answer there will only be more questions that are to be resolved.

This meeting will open the door for the appearance upon the world stage of the one who has the answers and the ability to guarantee for a time, the peace, safety and security of the entire middle east.

Daniel 9:27

The biggest question to be answered will be what to do with Jerusalem, it is holy to Jews, to Muslims, to Christians, and more importantly to God himself.

Jerusalem is the city of David, the home of the past and future temples of Judaism, and the city from which the Lamb that was slain will rule in righteousness.

It must be divided in the opinion of those who hate the Jews, and yet it must not be divided by those who are Jews, and those who have been grafted into the vine that supports the Jews.

It is the one large glaring problem that the world faces. Zechariah 12:3

The world has decided that the nation of Israel must return its covenant lands to its enemies and be divided both geographically and socially. Matthew 24:32

God has insisted that He detests the idea and judgments will fall when it is done.

Joel 3:2

Today’s news declares that the Asiatic countries are determined to survive and to be conquerors of the coming apocalypse.

They are in covenant with each other and the bond is unbreakable.

A remarkable fact of what the Bible calls the “kings of the east” is that all of these nations The Peoples Republic of China, Pakistan, India, and North Korea all declared their independence in 1947, only one year before the key to fulfillment of prophecy (Israel) was established. Revelation 16:12,16,21

Several other items of a wave of prophecy were being fulfilled with these, following immediately after the kings of the east were established.

The World Trade Organization was created; out of which was spawned The International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.

The World Council of Churches, along with the electronic transistor which was patented in 1948 and gave birth to the computer age, making total centralized control of all humanity possible.

The Revived Roman Empire was born from the 1948 Benelux Treaty, the United Nations Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Civil and Political Rights.

All of these evident in Revelation ch 13, “the beast, the prophet and the mark.”

The worlds weather is in turmoil, continents are both burning and drowning at the same time, there is political unrest, and treason as never before. Not only here but in many nations.

The global economy is racing toward the need for one financial system, and it will not be a failing American dollar, which was strong for thirty five years based only on Saudi oil.

On every continent the lords of terror are having a field day, murdering, destroying, and overthrowing the freedoms that many have sacrificed for.

In our country the news breaks daily of embedded terror cells that await only on the right signal to begin their war on the ground in our own back yard.

Today’s news broke the story of a pending attack upon Fort Huachuca in Arizona, that was foiled only because of the diligence of heroes who recognize that a storm is coming.

There are at least sixty terror cells, made up of Afghanistan and Iraqi citizens in the state of Texas, who are here because the border is open and almost anyone can cross if the price is right. According to Fox News they have been heavily armed by Mexican Drug Cartels who control tunnels that cross a relatively unguarded border.

We live in truly perilous times 2 Timothy 3:1

Friends this has been a very short list of the wave of prophetic fulfillment that is occurring within our view and in our generation.

The time for His return is very near, in your generation, not that of another.

If you have never accepted Jesus as Lord or have lived as if you did not, then now is the time to ask Him to forgive you and wash you in His precious blood.

Pray for your loved ones, and for all of humanity, (John 4:35) that the Holy Spirit of God would use someone to tell them the truth, for if the Holy Spirit convicts them then they will accept the free gift of salvation.

If you do not understand the gift of salvation or if you want to know more, please contact us at D2lifeministries we will do our best to explain it to you and to show you how you can escape the trouble that is about to come upon the earth.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

One final thought;

Whenever prophetic waves begin crashing and are recognized as such, there comes a silence for those who hear the truly prophetic. It becomes a time of seeking and of searching for the meaning of the occurrences. There will be a time when the Church will no longer see the waves nor hear their crashing, as the Church will have been called away, to be with the Lord of the Harvest.

The voice has been silent for a while now as the waves crash.

The time has come to no longer watch for the signs, there need be no more to prove in our hearts that the writers of the scripture were correct in their hearing of the voice of the Spirit.

NOW COMES THE TIME TO LISTEN FOR THE SHOUT

PURER MORE ABUNDANT WATER

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewn them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. Jeremiah 2:13

I recently visited with a gentleman from my area that I know to be successful in all that he is involved with. Much of his success is found in the knowledge that he has garnered by being involved in the day to day work of his endeavors.

We talked some about water, the most common of all elements.

The most common of all, yet the most precious element in creation.

He explained to me that in our geographic local, there are two layers of water, the first in an aquifer that once was relatively easy to attain.

It is still attainable it just is not of the quantity or quality that it once was, as there are too many that have acquired it and then used it without regard to its value.

The water flows through the aquifer at varying depths and in varying media with sand being the most common. The sand becomes a contaminant that must be filtered out before the water is truly clean.

As pollutants leach through the soil and light rock they eventually get closer to the aquifer and if in ample quantity will taint the precious flow of water, making it something that while still desirable must be filtered to ever increasing degrees to become fit for humanity.

He told me also of a deeper reservoir of water, an ancient water, cleaner and purer with less sand and contaminants than the more easily accessible water, that is rarely tapped, and if tapped, precautions must be taken to avoid cross contamination with the shallower reservoir and the more prevalent contaminants found in the shallow water.

Oddly enough the separating barrier is a rock. A rock that separates the good from the better. A rock that must be penetrated by more work, more diligence, more desire, more hunger for a thirst quenching medium that is sweeter and cooler than any other.

The Christ is compared to a rock, In Exodus 33:21-22, He is the rock that holds us firmly as the glory of our God is revealed.

In the book of Luke 6:48, He is the rock that is the foundation of all that we build, toward His kingdom.

Romans 9:33 declares that; He is the rock of offense to those who will not believe, yet in His might those who believe will not be ashamed.

1 Corinthians 10:4 “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”

We need the ancient water that the saints of old knew of.

We need the ancient water that is covered by the Rock.

We need the water that can only be tasted and experienced when all else will no longer satisfy and we are willing to fall on our faces and dig through the Rock by repentance, and prayer by seeking the deeper fuller purer things that are only found in the Rock.

The Rock that is Christ , the rock that separates the good from the better.

We need to overturn the broken dry cisterns that have been polluted for so long by doctrines of man and of demons and can no longer hold the refreshing water of the Spirit.

There are two layers of water in the apostate church age that we now see, one is easy to reach yet never satisfies for long. It sets above the rock, with many impurities.

The other is more difficult to attain yet those who truly find it will never thirst again.

John 4:11 “The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?”

Vs. 12 and 13 Paraphrase; Dig deeper lady, if you settle for the water that is easily available, then you will need the same water continually. The man who dug this well did not know of the Rock.

Vs. 14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

The ancient water is available, it will require commitment to the Rock, it will take diligence and understanding.

Dig! Dig! Dig! just one taste of the ancient and we will never thirst again.
