Concentrate of the wheat!










Hello Beloved Readers,

It has been a while since I have had time to write to you. I am very sorry to those who come to this blog on a regular basis. However; I have much to report and write to you about over the next few days.

This is the first time I have not written or received a Word for the New Year and this first month is almost over. I am not sure why that is. I asked the Lord to speak to me if He desired. I have not received a "normal" Word from the Lord as I have in the past because something really different is happening inside of me and in the places God is sending me to.

I am not sure this is going to make any sense to you or not, but I encourage you to read a book by Wade Taylor called "Unlocking the Mysteries of the Kingdom." You can order it at www.wadetaylorpublications.org. This book is a critical book for those seeking to understand the day we live in. I would also encourage you to order the Anointing of the Moment that God gave me to write. It will help explain the transitional period of time we are living in within the Body of Christ.

About a year ago at one of our conferences, I began to notice that there was a change in how the Lord was responding to His people. Last year, the Lord spoke to me about the divine separation between the wheat and the chaff. He had me to read and meditate on the words John the Baptist spoke to the Pharisee's about the coming of the Lord Messiah.

Mat 3:7 But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducee's coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?
Mat 3:8 Let your change of heart be seen in your works: Mat 3:9 And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham.

Mat 3:10 And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire. Mat 3:11 Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:


Mat 3:12 In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.


These are most important scriptures we must rightly understand if we are going to be able to cooperate with the present work of the Holy Spirit. John declares, " I will baptize you with the water of repentance, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE!

In Acts chapter 2 we saw the beginning of this scripture fulfilled. The Holy Spirit came upon them like tongues of fire and sat upon their heads and they all began to speak in other tongues. Yes, the first thing that happened is that they all spoke another language. We also know they were acting like drunken men as the Book of Acts reveals to us. Peter had to tell them they are not drunk with natural wine, but this is what the Prophet Joel had prophesied of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh.

From that point on until the beginning of the 20th century that Baptism of the Holy Spirit faded out over time except in a few places and in a few people, but in the early 1900 the Holy Spirit fell again in Azusa Street and in Wales England. People will filled once again with the Holy Spirit and spoke in Tongues. This outpouring has continued up until the present moment of time restoring the 5 fold ministry gifts to the body of Christ and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to the church.

What this outpouring has not done is "complete us" or "finish" the work the Lord desired to do inwardly because much of the present and past leadership focused on gifts, power and to be blessed instead of being changed. We have watched since the 1980's many ministers fall and ministries who were once strong also fall into sin and temptation.

This happened because the Fire that came upon their heads was supposed to consume us on the inside until we became one with the Lord in His desires and purposes. That would have taken a much deeper understanding of why the Fire was poured out by the Holy Spirit.

It wasn't just to bless us or give us gifts, but it was to reign in the hearts of men to make us like our Lord to this world as a witness of the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately the world has seen some of His power, but mostly they laugh at us and mock our God because the Fire was not let in to truly change our nature and character!

In 2004, the Lord gave me specific instructions not to build a church, not to build a ministry but to establish the Kingdom of God in men's heart. I am now coming to know you can not do that without a true outpouring of the very flame of the Lord to burn in those hearts as a Baptism of Fire.

At the present time during the church age, Jesus taught us that the "kingdom of God is within us." He taught us it is not meat or drink, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. He told us you can't see it with observation, because it was supposed to be a deep inner work of the Lord in us.

The only evidence of Christ's kingdom can be found in a heart. Not in a church building or a cathedral where you may find religion, but the genuine Kingdom of God is found burning in the hearts of those who will surrender to the Lord as King!

This Kingdom can only be found in those who have surrendered to it voluntarily. "If any man be my disciple, let him deny himself, pick up his cross and follow me." It is conditional! Notice the "if any man?" This is the divine choice of separation the Lord is looking for that will allow the Fire of God to come to His temple.

"Know ye not, ye are the Temple of the Holy Spirit?" This present fire must be chosen voluntarily by us to allow Him to burn His presence in us to refine us as gold and silver as Malachi prophesied if we truly desire to be a wise virgin.

Many go to church today and get saved, but there is no evidence of the Kingdom of God in their life. They are saved because they trusted Jesus to save them and asked His forgiveness from sins. Yet there is no "inner quality" of the Holy Spirit manifesting His life through them continually. We may do nice things, even preach to the lost and pray for the sick, but the true quality of the Spirit, His character and nature has not come to maturity in us as of yet.

The fruit of the Spirit from the Kingdom of God can hardly be seen in His people today because His Kingdom can only be seen in those who understand and submit to His Lordship and Kingship over their entire lives,and not just receiving Him as their Savior. Today, most of the church is still stuck at the cross being saved over and over again, and still trying to deal with the sin nature in them. Our best day is not "sinning" to much today! Does that sound like total victory to you?

Today most Christians never go beyond the cross to the throne room where the Lord's overcomers are to live and be next to him. It is in the throne room where the FIRE IS that we are changed from one degree of Glory to another. Our problem is we keep doing the same rituals of church service week after week and we never really change because we never receive the Baptism of Fire which comes from behind the Veil that has been torn in two!

This is not acceptable to the Lord, so John prophesies something very special to the Pharisee's ears. I baptize you with water to repent from your sins. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with FIRE! Peter writes in His letters, " a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. It has been 2000 years or two days since the Lord went up in the clouds to heaven. The Holy Spirit was poured out but near the end of the age or the end of the second day, it has run out.

How has it run out? We are hardly changed into the image and likeness of the Lord. We barely make it a day without sinning somewhere. We are not filled with the Glory of God where are shadow is healing people, nor are we doing the greater works Jesus said we would do. Our character has not yet gone beyond babyhood unto full grown manhood as taught in Ephesians chapter 4.

So will the Lord do something about this? Yes! In John chapter 2 we read about the Miracle of the Wedding at Cana. This is a prophetic picture of the church age at the close of the second day and beginning of the third Millennial reign of Christ begins. I could write more about that, I encourage you to order the Anointing of the Moment, I explain this in the Holy Spirit in length.

What the Lord does at Cana is produce "NEW AND BETTER WINE" when the old wine has run out. The Master of the Wedding says, "most people serve the best wine first and the cheaper wine when the people get drunk, but you have saved the best wine for last.

Where did this wine come from? There was no wine left. The only thing that was around was 6 empty pots. 6 is the number of man and it also prophetic of the number of days. At the end of the 6th day the church would be empty and almost out of wine, but these pots were set apart for consecration John tells us. They were set apart for a Holy purpose. Jesus commands them to be filled with water. They are filled to overflow, but they are not wine just filled with water.

Jesus tells the servants to "draw some out." This is a key to what I have been seeing with my own eyes as I travel this nation and the nations. The servant takes this water drawn up and "on the way" to the master of the house it BECOMES WINE! We never hear about the other pots at all. Did all the pots of water get changed to wine? However; at least we know this, the water that was drawn out first did get changed to wine!

Do you understand? One minute that cup was full of water, the next second it was wine. This is an end time prophetic picture of the miracle the Lord is about to do with this Baptism of Fire. It will change those that are getting ready as water into wine to be poured out in these end times. Do you want to be that new wine?

John concludes this time at Cana by saying, "this is the first miracle Jesus did to manifest his Glory!" It also says in verse 1 of John chapter 2 that Jesus did this miracle, "on the third day! "On the third day there was a wedding at Cana!" In Revelation 19:7-8 it states this,

"Rev 19:7 Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him: because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made herself ready. Rev 19:8 And to her it was given to be clothed in delicate linen, clean and shining: for the clean linen is the righteousness of the saints."

His bride has prepared herself. This is what God desired to do in 2009. It was to bring the Flame of God into the Lord's church to refine it like gold and silver. The Lord was calling to all of us even louder in 2009 saying, "who is on the Lord's side and who will make themselves ready?"

This was not an easy choice for a believer to make because it would call for the most radical change from our old Christian lives as we have known it to receive the deepest fire of radical change we have ever known in God's kingdom! For the Lord to come as fire we could not then, and we can not even now, live our lives as we have known them to be.

For a believer to say yes to this fire from the Lord they needed a great sensitivity to understand what the Holy Spirit required from their lives. They also had to yield to His working in them to become one with the Lord and His purposes for our day and hour. In 2009 the TRUMPET OF THE LORD WAS CRYING with a call to the church to "come out from among them my people and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you."

In 2009, a call to come out was shouted from the Lord, and the Holy Spirit began to separate those who would come from those who would not. I would liken this to the beginning process of identifying who will choose to be a wise virgin and who will chose to be the foolish virgin.

Every place the Lord sent me in 2009, He would tell me that I would be His threshing instrument. An instrument to throw the wheat and tares up in the air to separate the wheat from the chaff. The messages he gave me to preach surely were words of separation to those who had an ear to hear from those who only heard thunder.

The message God gave me for 2009 and still in 2010 is to put the first commandment first. God must be above all. We should love Him first with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and put no strange God's before Him. I preached all over this nation and in Mexico that the church has put the second commandment of loving your neighbor as yourself above the first commandment.

I preached over and over to return to your first love and do your first work! In many places God had me expose the true motives hidden in secret in the leadership. It was found that God's people loved their place and position more than they loved God. When God asked them to lay it down for a season many got so angry at me and the word and gnashed their teeth at me.

I never saw such hatred to a word from God. In the church today is the sin of "false ministry idolatry." This sin is to love our position and place more than God. Is that not what John warned his generation of when he said to the Pharisees,

Mat 3:7 But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducee's coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come? Mat 3:8 Let your change of heart be seen in your works: Mat 3:9 And say not to yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; because I say to you that God is able from these stones to make children for Abraham. Mat 3:10 And even now the axe is put to the root of the trees; every tree then which does not give good fruit is cut down, and put into the fire.

They too loved their places of honor, Jesus would tell them that. They loved to be seen praying in front of men, Jesus told them that too. They loved to show everyone they were fasting, again Jesus spoke this as well. Today to many of God's leaders want to be seen by men. They love the front seat. They love the places of honor specially the Worship Leaders, Elders and Deacons.

Those places of "honor" have become idols in many leaders heart greater than the Honor and worship that belongs to God. The Lord in this past year has had me speak and confront this lying spirit of Anti-Christ and idolatry and root it out in His house. I have been bad mouthed and much more. Many have said, How you can tell us this you are not perfect?

How can you judge us? Who are you to say this is not what God wants? They are so mistaken! It is not me that is telling them this word. I did not write the Word of God or His commandments. I am called to live them as well and to preach His word! It is the Refining Fire of the Holy Spirit that is speaking to their hearts and bringing conviction of sin. I always tell them the Word of God is for me as well as them. I am still under construction!

Beloved Reader,I watched God separate the wheat from the tares this past year as I have never seen, and I have been warning the church to repent and look to God! We must submit to His Lordship and His Kingship now or we will not be ready to enter the Millennial reign of Christ. But now to my point!

This new year 2010, I can't minister as I have in the past warning those who won't listen. This time the Lord said, "concentrate on the wheat." I am not sure what that means yet fully, but I did get a glimpse of this on my last mission trip to Mexico and California. On my way to California and Mexico traveling on I 8 outside of a city called El Centro,CA, both on right and on my left were herds of sheep. Thousands of them on my right and more on my left.

I asked the Lord what does this mean? Does it mean there is a harvest of souls for us? Does it mean to win the lost? In my spirit I received this word, "see the sheep without a shepherd, concentrate on the wheat." I was two weeks old in the Lord when the Word of the Lord came to me through a scripture verse found in Mathew chapter 10 about the lost sheep.

Mathew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria, Mat 10:6 But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel, hear the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils, freely you have received, freely give."

It was apparent to me as I drove that all of the sheep I saw by this road were without a shepherd. I got an understanding of the sheep being the wheat harvest of the Lord that is now separated and being separated from the chaff in God's house in need of their Shepherd King. I also understood that judgment begins in the House of the Lord.

God was showing me and our team that he has not only begun this separation but it is now in full working bloom for us to see, and that we had to now "concentrate on the wheat" that is separated and being gathered into the barns. That is why we could not minister as we have in the past. Beloved, I can tell you this trip was such a turning point like no other trip before.

The Baptism of Fire really began to come forth in 2009 to begin this separation, but in 2010 it is WHITE HOT FIRE that is now gathering the grain into the Lord's barn. This fire in the House of God is like the fire that came between Pharaoh and the children of Israel at the Red Sea.

The flame of fire also manifested itself to Pharaoh and his army separating them away from God's people. Today in the house of the Lord it is separating the Holy from the profane, the wheat from the chaff, and the fat sheep from the lean sheep as the word of God said it would.

This fire was prophesied to come in Malachi chapter 3 verse 1, "The Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple, and who can endure the day of His coming and who can stand when He appears?" I am seeing this with my own eyes.

This fire is burning in His house, and it is now keeping the lukewarm and cold away from the those that are going to burn for the Lord. To those Christians who are allowing the work of the Lord as fire in them, and in the very young that don't know the "deep ways of dead religion" there is a burning FIRE that is now consuming them and changing them from glory to glory in the image of the Lord to be His witness on this earth.

This fire is separating those in his body that are hard of heart from those who will have tender of heart towards God. The scripture verse the Lord gave me for 2010 is "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Mathew 5:8

Is that you beloved reader? There is still time for those whose hard in heart to come into the very flame of fire to change before it is to late. God can burn the hardness out of you, but if you refuse and rebel this fire will act as a shield against you who oppose the work of the Lord in those who will come as it did to Pharaoh and his armies. It will surely separate the wheat from the tares. Which one will you be?

Our team has seen it with our own eyes. We have even lost some team members last year because of this very fire. There is no escaping beloved. Everyone of us will make a choice of what we desire.

The Baptism of Fire has come now to empower the wise virgins with the extra oil they will need to go out and meet Him at the midnight hour. The foolish will resist this call. They will call the wise to spiritual or too hyper Christian! The foolish will continue to sleep doing business as usual and persecute those who are preparing to be married to our King Jesus.

The foolish will stay content with gifts of the spirit, a position or ministry and going to church. They will remain in a place lacking the real presence and power of God in their lives. They are saved and have a deposit of the Holy Spirit to witness their salvation, but they have refused to grow up in Christ.

They are being separated from the overcomers now! They are being separated for eternity from the place God has prepared for them as a bride and overcomer if they don't change.Again they may be saved and get into heaven because they have trusted the Lord to save them, but they will not be part of the marriage supper of the lamb as a Bride.

They will not rule and reign with him forever and ever. They are forfeiting their part now by the choices they are making to serve themselves instead of the Lord. They may enter heaven only as "one who has escaped from the fire" and have nothing to show for their lives. Worse, some of them may even be spewed out of the mouth of God. What will it be for you beloved reader?

I watched God fill three 14 year old boys with this fire in our last trip. I said to the Lord, "why are they all 14 except one church where the boy was 19." He said it is their "spiritual bar mitzvah!"


I believe at 13 years old a Jewish boy has a ceremony declaring his manhood and the beginning of his sonship after he completed his studies. This Jewish boy would be seen as a man and a son "in training" until 30 years old where he would be "a full grown son." That is what is happening with this Baptism of Fire upon the youth. This Fire of God is a "school master to this" Omega generation" training them for full grown sonship now!

These young sons, or "man/child" types are getting the Baptism of Fire and are being transformed before our eyes! A Pastor who came to our meetings in California testified about one young man 14 who had his pants sagging when he came in, but as God chose him to come closer into the fire, he came out of that fire ministering that flame he received. She said she saw the tangible Glory of God change him, even his continence.

These young ones are being changed in the core of their being and then enabled to minister like they were 50 years in the Lord. This hasn't been confined to this age group alone. I have seen it empower 3, 5, 7, 8 and older as well, even adults up to 8o or more are burning.

These young ones know instantly what to do and minister in the Holy Spirit. All I have to do is encourage them or point them and they do the rest until I don't even have to do that within minutes.

They instantly know what to speak. They don't talk until the Lord fills their mouths. It is not so much their age as it is the simplicity and tenderness of their heart because they have not been deluded by dead religion so they are open to partake of His Holy Fire.

I watched an 11 year old girl get so burned with the Fire of God, she said, " I can't take any more." She then proceeded to go in the congregation and hug and prophesy to adults and Pastors. They began to weep and say "Santos", Holy! She then took their hand to bring them to alter where they began to burn with God's presence. As this is happening the Lord says, "concentrate on the wheat!"

Why am I writing to you about this. Because there is an urgency in my spirit that many, many Christians are going to miss this hour of preparation. The hours is almost over. I have to write my sequel to the Anointing of the Moment called "The Highway of Holiness." This has to do with the "work of the Flame of God" in those who will receive it.

Beloved, where are you in your walk with God. Are you burning with His presence? Are you doing the business as usual thing? Are you just going to church or doing your ministry? Are you pressing on to truly know the Lord? Are you making yourself ready to marry him? Are you purifying yourself from all that would contaminate from the world?

Are you lukewarm or have a form of godliness but deny the power there of? Are you living your life with Jesus as your Lord? Do you know His heartbeat? Do you know His plans for your life and are you doing them? Or is God an afterthought? Are you living your Christian life the way you want to?

If you are you may find yourself separated as a foolish virgin and not enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. You may find yourself being spewed out of the mouth of God. You may find yourself with the candlestick of His presence removed from you. You may find God fighting against you with the Word from his mouth. Read Revelation chapters 1-3 and see the Lord standing in His church calling to us to repent.

Don't miss it? Don't be the one the Lord doesn't see when he says, "concentrate on the wheat only." Don't let your Christian life be a tare in God's kingdom and make it in only by escaping the fire. Let God make your life what He intends it to be. You can't do that being religious or rebellious against God's will for your life. You can't do it if you love your place in the church more than you love God Himself.

There is still time, but not much. He that has an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches!

Flame of Fire World Headquarters!



Hello Beloved Readers,

I wanted you to know that Flame of Fire Ministries now has a new World Headquarters. I laugh as I write this on the blog if you would see the size of the building in person. It is more like a stable and a manger in size, but despise not the days of small beginnings!

Flame of Fire Ministries was birthed from the IAM Center of Tucson. That is the ministry God had us begin here in Tucson, Arizona when God called me out from being a full time Pastor of a local church in Port Richey, FL to this new role as a missionary and a to raise up a prophetic army of the Lord.

The Lord told me not to build a church or a ministry, but to establish the Kingdom of God in men's heart. This came about one day when my wife and I were praying while driving through the streets in the city of Tampa. We came to the end of a road where we found McDill Air Force Base. We drove to the entrance of the base and since we were non-military personnel we could not go any further.

We turned around our van to go back another direction when the Holy Spirit spoke and said to us, "you have come to the end of the road of Pasturing as you have known. I am changing your direction. He then impressed upon me that we were to start something different called Spiritual Training Bases for His Kingdom to include 24/7 prayer centers to pray for different regions, and a full time teaching and equipping school for all generations. This school would raise up and "end time prophetic intercessors and ministers" as an army of the Lord.

In 2004 Donna, I and our family moved to Tucson Arizona after God opening the scriptures in Hosea 2:14-26 to us. We knew we had to come here to establish our first base of training called the IAM Center of Tucson.

For one year after we moved to Tucson, God did not allow me to do anything. Not one door opened in our community to do this work. Not one Pastor or church was interested in building true love bond covenant relationships. The Pastors had to much on their plate to see why God sent us here to support and lift up their arms in prayer. Many told me it was a nice idea and some even said they would come. Yet for a whole year God did not open one door for us to start.

So I spent a whole year 0f 2004-2005 walking in the desert where the Lord began to make the message found in Hosea 2:14-26 my life's experience. Please read the scriptures yourself to understand the meeting. The Lord told me anyone can preach the message but not everyone could understand how the messenger of God's word, and the message itself must be one, even like John the Baptist was the perfect message of repentance, and Jesus Christ Himself the perfect message of salvation.

In 2005, The Lord had me to begin planning to start for our first International Accelerated Missions Discipleship Training School. We had no money and just our little group of people and no place to meet. So we met in Coco's restuarant with nothing but the manuals to train. We planned as if we had everything. We trained teachers to teach the classes and even put the curriculum together. We made a manual on how to start a school. We advertised set up recruitment times and registration times not even having a place to teach. 2 weeks before school started, God opened up a building for us with the first months rent free.

We had our first IAM Discipleship Training School starting in Septemberwith our first mission trip to Piedras Negras, Mexico in March 2006. It was a great first mission trip to take our first 4 graduates to learn about missions in Mexico. In that trip I met a Pastor from Longmont, Colorado named Elias and Pastor Glen from California. These two precious men of God took our little school and taught us about missions work. We were blessed to know and labor with them.

In 2006, Pastor Elias took us on our second trip to Muquiz Mexico to preach at an Assembly of God Church there, and to minister to the Peekapoo Indian Tribe as well. This too was an excellent experience for our second class of 6 students.

It was at that meeting, Pastor Elias felt to do a "revival meeting" in the town of Milliken, Colorado where he got saved. He asked me to bring a team of intercessors up a week early to pray before and during these meetings for the Lord to change the hearts of the community to meet Jesus Christ. We were also to have Pastor prayer meetings from the area every morning and afternoon for these meetings.

At the first meeting not one person showed up for prayer, and we didn't know what to do, but the Lord told us just to worship Him and listen. We did that, the next day 5 intercessors from other churches came to join us in prayer. They didn't even know there was a tent meeting going on in Milliken or a call to prayer. The Holy Spirit just told them to come to this building to pray and they found us. The next day there were 20, and by the end of the first week over 75 intercessors from Northern Colorado came to pray for this tent meeting.

The tent meeting started out slowly with about 40 people but by the end of the week it was over 200. I was asked to preach on Saturday night. Friday in prayer, we got a breakthrough about the youth in that region being held hostage by the enemy in the church. God showed us that we, God's leaders were keeping them from Him by putingt them in youth groups, Sunday School, Children church, but we never allow them to be with Him in His presence in the services. Our goal was to get them out so the adults could be blessed and hear the word. This broke our hearts to see what we had done. I know I had done that as a Pastor as well.

There is nothing wrong with having those ministries for children, but we were not supposed to replace them knowing the Lords' presence in our services or for them to spend time with Him with us! We repented for this sin for ourselves and the region. We stood in the gap for the pastors and leaders of the Northern Colorador region and promised God we would not do that to the youth anymore.

On the last Saturday night of the revival, I preached one of the hardest messages on the spirit of religion that is controlling much of the present church today. It was so strong not a person moved or stirred. I thought for sure that when I gave the alter call every adult would run to the alter.

Before I tell you the rest, let me write this to you. In the morning of this Saturday I got a call from a precious sister in Christ who didn't know about the meetings we were having. She said God told her last night to tell me when I preach tonight to call down the "Fire of God."

Later in that afternoon another sister on the other side of the country received the exact same word for me and told me I had to "call down the Fire of God" at tonight's meeting and I would know when.

The time came for me to pray that prayer on that Saturday night. As I preached the message of repentance from dead religion many hearts were convicted and I gave the alter call to come.

Beloved Reader, even though there was a very heavy conviction upon every single person there not one adult came to the alter. After a few minutes of repeating the call to come a miracle happened. All the youth at this meeting which was about 25 of them or more ran to the alter crying and repenting of their sins and their need for God.

The message I preached from the LOrd was to free the adults of the religious walk with God they had that was opposing the true move of God instead of having a real relationship with Him. God was speaking to every adult there personally to repent, but they would not move!

However, within minutes the youth ran to the alter in tears and brokenness. They came with true humility to change before the Lord. When they came and wept at the alter I knew it was time to pray,"God send you fire."

The Fire of God came upon these youth and they wept, cried and then began to pray for one another and minister in the gifts of the Holy Spirit that they never experienced before. There were words of wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, speaking in tongues and more. In that moment, Flame of Fire Ministries was born though I did not know that then.

The Host Pastor's grand son was weeping and laughing at the same time and cried, " God is killing me, but He is loving me at the same time, God is real!" From that day, God has had us share that testimony and all God has done whereever he sends us. We have seen that Fire of God presence fall from city to city and nation to nation.Just read the testimony page on our website or look at the pictures on the side of our home page and see for yourself how God is making "His ministers a Flame of Fire."

We shared this word in cities starting in Greeley, Colorado in 2007 where 60 youth came to our second conference at the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The fire of God fell even hotter and came upon the youth, and they too ministered like seasoned veterans as they did at the tent meeting.

A 14 year old girl preached a prophetic message to cause all the parents there to repent. 7 and 8 years old girls got the "spirit of tear" (travailing in the Spirit) of real repentance for the adults, and they became instant intercessors. A 16 year old boy, preached and prophesied to all of us and the older generation and many other teens ministered under the power of God. It was one of the deepest move of the Holy Spirit in youth I had ever seen!

We invited a dance and flag group to come and they were so touched that they gave me their brand new fire flag they just purchased and told me I had to wave it in the nations.Then all the youth there got around me and prayed and prophesied over me for over 45 minutes. They spoke words to me only God spoke to me and I told no one about. They ministered to me prophetically with a flame of fire in accuracy as if some of the biggest prophets in Christianity were ministering to me.

In this move of God, Flame of Fire Ministries was born. This new work grew so fast and sent us to the State of Virginia to do our first National conference. The Spirit of intercession swept these meetings and many were set free and set on fire for God. God sent me to Albany, New York to minsiter at our IAM Headquarters at a conference called a "burning heart" and again the Fire of God came in our meetings.

We are now bringing this Flame of Fire to Tijuana Mexico, San Diego,California, and Loveland Colorado, Tucson Arizona and to the nations. We were blessed to go to Johannesburg South Africa to Better Life Ministries and God's Fire came to this precious praying church. We experienced a deep work of God there with the church and became one with them. The prayer meetings were powerful in the Flame of God and Pastor Chetachuckwu is one of the pillars God is raising up in South Africa for the African Continent

Flame of Fire has reached churches and leaders through the Flame of Fire website and now has reached over 82 nations and 1800 cities in the world. We continually recieve invitations to come to Pakistan, India, Nepal, Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, the Philipene Islands and other countries as well. We also have established Ambassadors in Kenya with Harvest Miracle Center Pastor Abraham Omanyo and in Uganda with Pastor John Ssebuliba at Disciples on the move ministries.

God has birthed a Network of Prayer through Flame of Fire ministries with prayer warriors over the world praying for the prayer request we receive every day. Flame of Fire also has a Network of Ministers committed to serve each member minister as their own flesh and blood to help each other with whatever each one has to give so we can do the will of God.

We have United States Ambassadors in Virginia, Arizona and Pennsylvania, and International Ambassadors in Kenya, Uganda and South Africa. We are also working with Pastors in India, Nepal, Mauritius and Mexico to develop more of this network in 2010. Also in this new year we will be providing membership into the Flame of Fire Ministers Association providing licensing and ordination for all that meet the requirements for ministry in their state and nation.

Look at what is come forth by the hand of God from the baby the IAM Center produced in Milliken Colorado! This baby has now become the mama ministry to those very works. The Flame of Fire Ministries has over sight of the Southern Arizona and Northern Colorado IAM Prayer and Training Center and the Arizona Network of Prayer.

Beloved Reader, Despise not the day of small beginnings. We are not a big ministry or work. We don't have large resources or facilities, but we do have a GREAT BIG GOD who can speak to those things that are not, as though they are. All of this is not to see how great "Flame of Fire" is and what we have accomplished. WE have accomplished nothing! If anything has been done it is because of God alone. We can take no credit. We just did what God required of us and that is it!

Now you understand why God has helped us open our very humble new World Headquarters. It is a very tiny place so far perhaps so God can get all the Glory. He doesn't need big things to do big works, just people who will believe He is a big God. I am grateful to God to give us offices now to do His work out of, and a place to pray for our city. Jesus was born in a stable and in a manger, was He not?

We also able to rent an adjacent building to house the Southern Arizona Prayer and Training Center and the Arizona Prayer Network for the regional prayer groups to come together.

I hope you rejoice with us at our" little stable and manger"pictures at the top of this blog. No laughing now:) I thank God for these humble beginnings and for what He has built across the globe through this little work.

To God be the Glory and I look forward to see what God is going to do in your life and in His church in 2010!

God bless each and every one of you!

In His love always,

Rev. Henry Falcone

Happy New Year 2010- New Trumpet of the Lord blog posting!

Hello Beloved Readers,

First let me encourage you to go to Trumpet of the Lord blog link on this blog page to read the new word for 2010 from Pastor Carl Jackson, Arizona Prayer Network Coordinator and Flame of Fire Arizona Ambassador. It is called: Revive Your Church- Part One.

Pastor Carl has pastured over 50 years and recently was the Director of Teen Challenge Men's induction Center in Tucson Arizona before joining Flame of Fire Ministries. Pastor Carl is a firebrand to the church. He has a burning word of the Lord to call the church back to our roots and to our first love Jesus Christ. Go now and read the blog called "Revive your troubled church-Part one and then come back and finish this blog.

Start here after you go to The Trumpet of the Lord blog: Read the article!

I hope you all had a Merry and Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year. 2010 will be a year for us to remember. There is much God is going to realign in His Church in 2010. Get your seat belt ready for many things are going to be changing to those that have an ear to hear what the Spirit of God is speaking.

I am going to be writing soon about 2010 and what God is speaking to my heart about this year. Last year 2009, the Lord said the "great separation of the sheep" would begin to be seen. I saw that with my own eyes. Many who started out 2009 with us are not with us at the beginning of 2010. I can't even tell you the shaking I have seen as I traveled the nation and what is at balance for all of us in the church in 2010.

I want to encourage all my readers to stay very close to God with a hearing and listening ear to follow the directions of the Lord fully! You must be able to know "His whisper" or we won't be able to stand in what is to come upon our nation and the world.

The church in America must change now, and we at Flame of Fire are going to proclaim it loudly from the roof tops. We can not continue to do business as usual where God's people don't even know He still speaks today. They don't even know that they can have daily fellowship and communion with Him everyday. They don't know that He wants to sup with us daily and share His deepest desires and heart with us.

Most of the church in the USA is on auto-pilot doing the religious ritual of just Sunday worship and a little outreach or helping in the church without a deep abiding fellowship in the Holy Spirit with the Lord Himself.

It is truly like the days of Noah in the church and worst in the world. We must wake up! We must repent and make the crooked places straight. We must repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand.

We at Flame of Fire are going to blow the Trumpet loudly for all of us to here. These words are to the "them" and us excluded. The word is to "ALL OF US!" We must learn how to follow the cloud of the Holy Spirit by day, and the fire by night. We must not turn from the left or right of His will. It is to dangerous to do what we want without God anymore!

We must be children of God who know how to "blow with wind" of God as Jesus taught are "such are those who are born of the Spirit. " The wind blows where you will and you don't know where it comes from or where it goes, but such are those who are born of the Spirit." John chapter 3 declares!

So press on beloved warriors of God! Develop a special time everyday to meet the Lord. Increase it to 2 or 3 times a day just to be with Him. God will give you the time to do it. Remember Jesus said in John 10: "My sheep hear my voice and follow me, and the voice of the stranger they will not follow."

We must hear His voice daily, minute by minute. We must fine tune are ability to listen and understand His voice and will so we will be safe in the perfect plan of God. Then we will know His voice above every other voice and not follow the voice of the strangers of this world or the ones of darkness.

God bless you all in the New Year and please go to the Trumpet of the Lord blog site to read Pastor Carl Jackson's part one teaching from the Lord.

The Divine Separation is here : Part Two

Dear Beloved Readers,

I want to share with you a chapter from one of the books the Lord gave me to write called the "Anointing of the Moment. " This book was given to me to be an "alarm clock" to the church in which God is giving us a "spiritual hour" to get ready for the "hour that is going to come upon the earth.

I encourage you to order a copy it is essential for these last days I believe. My publisher is again able to get them for me, so if you will allow about a month for delivery you can order it on our website resource page. I will also be able to send them out to those who have existing orders shortly, we haven't forgot you!

The Lord is drawing a Bride unto Himself as found in Hosea chapter 2. In the desert wilderness he prepares her to become betrothed to the Lord in steadfastness and in righteousness. He does this by removing the "idols" from her lips. Remember out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So what is on the brides lips is in her heart and there is some mixture in her. Mixture to things that are equal to or as important to her as the Lord in her life.

This can not remain in her to be a Bride without spot or blemish. The book of Hosea is also a book where God requires the Prophet to marry a harlot knowing she will cheat on him, but in the end she will become faithful. This is a picture of the present view of the Body of Christ. We are filled with sin and idolatry, we just won't admit it.

The book of Revelation chapters 2 and 3 begin and end with an accusation against the church.

1. Rev. 2:5 You have deserted Me, your first love. You have given up the love you had for me at first. This rebuke comes with a warning, repent or I will remove the candlestick from your midst. The candlestick represents the "manifest presence" of the Lord in our life or ministry. How serious was that to King David after he committed and murdered? He cried out, "Create in me a clean heart Oh God, and renew a right spirit in me. Take not thy Holy Spirit from me." He saw what happened to King Saul when he fell from God without truly repenting.

I believe the Bible says, Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday, today and forever. The punishment for not truly repenting before God for King Saul was two fold. First, God ripped the Kingdom from him. Second, He removed His presence and Spirit and gave Saul over to an evil Spirit. That could never happen to us we are in the new covenant.

2. Let us read Rev 3:14: And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I wish you were cold or hot.Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Wow, that is pretty tough language from God isn't it. "I am saved by grace." I am OK, I am a good person. I pay my tithes and go to church on Sunday. The Lord says, "I know your works! Your works are how you live your life? He says, " I know how you live you are not hot for me, nor are you like an unsaved person cold against me." You are LUKE WARM! You are worse than cold. You say you love me and you say I am your Lord, but your life reflects a life of living in the world as the world does but having a Christian name.

You are truly not my disciple at all. You just appear to be by name only, so I will spew you out of my mouth. Little harsh Jesus! Where is all that love they preach about every Sunday. Where is all that "make me a better person preaching" we hear every Sunday. What makes us luke warm? Idolatry and rebellion in our hearts. We have it church, let's just admit it is there, so we can get to the Lord for Him to Baptize us with Fire to remove it.

Pretending it is not there is not the answer. In Hosea chapter2, the Lord tells how Israel is a harlot, yet then in the most beautiful act of love starting in verse 14. He is going to "allure her into the wilderness to speak tenderly to her heart." This isn't the mushy love that the church does in the flesh. "Oh, I so love you brother, I really love you sister, even though you are in sin and darkness, God loves you, even though you are luke warm and have idols in your heart!" "God doesn't mind."

There is more to God's love than I love you just as you are that the American Church teaches. Hebrews 12 shows us the nature of what the true love of God is also. Yes His love is like the Prodigal Father waiting for the son to return. Yes, His love is like the woman caught in the act of adultery that ran to Him to be saved. Yes, It is that, but it also more!

The more is what the church in America is not ready for, and it is why our nation suffers to this day. Please read the following verses to understand the fullness of God's love towards us and then you will begin to understand why the Holy Spirit has me writing these teachings.


Heb 12:1 For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us, Heb 12:2 Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

Heb 12:3 Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose. Heb 12:4 Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin: Heb 12:5 And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

Heb 12:6 For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod. Heb 12:7 It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father? Heb 12:8 But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

Heb 12:9 And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life? Heb 12:10 For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

Heb 12:11 At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness. Heb 12:12 For this cause let the hands which are hanging down be lifted up, and let the feeble knees be made strong, Heb 12:13 And make straight roads for your feet, so that the feeble may not be turned out of the way, but may be made strong.

I don't understand why this is such an ugly word to the body of Christ? Why is rebuke, correction and chastisement so despised in the American Church? The Lord chastens those he loves. He tells us in Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. The AMP version writes, "those I tenderly love, I rebuke and correct and show them their faults." Beloved, Reader is that such a bad thing? Why is this such a threatening message to the church in America?

I can only answer that by what the word of God says in John chapter 3: And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil. Joh 3:20 The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen. Joh 3:21 But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God. Can there be another answer?

The Lord is trying to work in our lives to become a Bride holy, separated to the Lord Himself. He has sent His Holy Spirit to burn in us like fire to remove every trace of idolatry and rebellion in our heart. He alone can do that work and finished that work at the cross.

Hosea chapter 2 gives us a prophetic picture of what the Lord desires to do in our hearts inwardly today. We must listen and obey the Lord now while there is time. We must become like the 5 wise virgins who had the extra oil to go out and meat the Bridegroom. Let's read some this chapter to see the desires of the Lord, and what we must do to be separated unto the Lord in this last hour of preparation.


Hos 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. Hos 2:15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

Hos 2:16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; (my husband) and shalt call me no more Baali (my idols). Hos 2:17 For I will take away the names of Baalim (idolatry) out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

Hos 2:18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

Hos 2:19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies. Hos 2:20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

This is the "present work of the Holy Spirit" but is the church in America even aware of what God wants to do? Do you see His desire to remove the name of "idolatry" from His bride's lips. He desires to be Her only love. Wouldn't you want that if you were marrying someone? You would want to remove all the past dates, people your spouse went out with before you from his/her memory by your greater love for him/her.

The Lord desires the same thing. He desires us to be HOT for Him and not checking out all the world has to offer and calling that "isn't he or she hot" like the teens say today about the opposite sex. He desires us to have a single eye just for him as found in the Song of Solomon. He wants us to have dove's eyes that merge together to see just one thing, Him!

Is this not the very first commandment. You shall love the Lord thy God with all they heart, with all the soul and all thy mind and you shall but no strange God's before Him?
Let us read the passage from the book the Anointing of the Moment that will explain this further.

The dessert wilderness is a place to be alone with the Lord. Here our hearts (our will and desires) must be dealt with so we can be transformed with His character and nature. It is in the dessert wilderness we are to be made one with Him. That is why He chooses this place to marry His bride.


The choice before us is this: will we come out of our present circumstances and life and follow the Lord where He leads? Will we give up all that this world has to offer? Will we allow the Lord to work His total victory in us until we choose His will over our own? This is the power of being married to the Lord, to overcome the POWER OF SIN once and for all?


"For God has done what the Law could not do being weakened by the flesh (the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit) Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh as an offering for sin. God condemned sin in the flesh, subdued, overcame, deprived it of it's power for all those who accept that sacrifice." (Rom. 8: 3)


Jesus has come back again to His people and is standing in her midst now as seen in Revelation Chapters 1-3. He has come to lead His bride into the wilderness not to bring forgiveness from sin, but to break for the last time the POWER OF SIN over her life.


This is why "she comes out of the wilderness leaning upon her beloved." (SOS 8:5) This may seem like an impossible task for us to accomplish! It is impossible for us. Nevertheless, what is impossible for man is possible for God! Hallelujah! "THEREFORE, SINCE THESE GREAT PROMISES ARE OURS, LET US CLEANSE OURSELVES FROM EVERYTHING THAT CONTAMINATES AND DEFILES BODY AND SPIRIT, AND BRING OUR CONSECRATION TO COMPLETENESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD."(2Cor. 7:1)


Listen to the Word of God concerning this separation: "SO WHOEVER CLEANSES HIMSELF FROM THAT WHICH IS IGNOBLE AND UNCLEAN, WHO SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM CONTACT WITH CONTAMINATING AND CORRUPTING INFLUENCES WILL THEN HIMSELF BE A VESSEL SET APART AND USEFUL FOR HONORABLE AND NOBLE PURPOSES, CONSECRATED AND PROFITABLE TO THE MASTER, FIRM AND READY FOR ANY GOOD WORK." (2Tim. 2:21.)


We must allow the Bridegroom to allure us out of where we are still living with mixture from the world. We must come to the holy place of the Wilderness to cleanse ourselves and prepare ourselves for our wedding day. The bride has already begun this process and has experienced some change, but now she is being drawn out to the desert to be caught up into the glorious finishing work of the Lord.


We must rightly respond to the call to COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM! We must yield to the alluring love of our heavenly Bridegroom for a miracle is about to take place. We are going to be changed from water into wine.


At this present moment in time, the call has gone forth and the Lord is finding out who are really His Own Ones. He is finding out who are true sheep and who are not.


''NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS TO ME ON THAT DAY, (this third or seventh day.) LORD, LORD, WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. MANY WILL SAY TO ME ON THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN YOUR NAME AND DRIVEN OUT DEVILS IN YOUR NAME AND DONE MANY MIGHTY WORKS IN YOUR NAME?


AND I WILL SAY TO THEM OPENLY AND PUBLICLY, I NEVER KNEW YOU (I was never one with you or intimate with you. I never supped with you) WHO ACT WICKEDLY DISREGARDING MY COMMANDS!" (Mat. 7:21-23)


What commands are we to obey? We must obey all of them including, come out from among them my people and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you!


"FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD, THAT YOU SHOULD BE CONSECRATED (SEPARATED AND SET APART FOR PURE AND HOLY LIVING) THAT YOU ABSTAIN, SHRINK FROM ALL SEXUAL VICE, THAT EACH ONE OF YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO POSSESS AND CONTROL YOUR BODY IN CONSECRATION AND PURITY, (SEPARATED FROM THINGS PROFANE) AND HONOR, NOT TO BE USED IN THE PASSION OF LUSTS LIKE THE HEATHEN, WHO ARE IGNORANT OF THE TRUE GOD AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL." (1Thes. 4:3-5)


Will the Lord spew the luke warm out of His mouth? Will the Lord remove the candlestick from our midst if we don't repent now and understand His ways and His desires for this moment in time? Am I saying they won't make it to heaven? Only God knows that answer? But, I can tell you just praying a "sinner's prayer" and not becoming a new creation is not real salvation! We are to bring forth "fruit" that proves are repentance according to John the Baptist. He told us to flee from the wrath that was about to come.


Listen to the warning of 2Thess. 2: 1-3: "BUT RELATIVE TO THE COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND OUR GATHERING TOGETHER TO HIM, WE BEG YOU,BRETHREN, NOT TO ALLOW YOUR MINDS TO BE QUICKLY UNSETTLED OR DISTURBED OR KEPT EXCITED OR ALARMED, WHETHER IT BE BY SOME REVELATION OF THE SPIRIT OR BY WORD OR BY LETTER FROM US, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE DAY OF THE LORD HAS ARRIVED AND IS HERE.


LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU IN ANY WAY, FOR THAT DAY WILL NOT COME EXCEPT THE APOSTASY COMES FIRST (UNLESS THE PREDICTED GREAT FALLING AWAY OF THOSE WHO PROFESSED TO BE CHRISTIANS COMES (AMP) AND THE MAN OF LAWLESSNESS IS REVEALED, WHO IS THE SON OF DOOM."


This is the year this will accelerate in our midst. Many are hearing this call of separation unto the Lord. Few are willing to get up and leave this "world" behind to go into the wilderness place of the betrothal of the Lord where He can remove the idols in our heart.


God is serious about His church and Jesus for His bride. He must come for a Bride who has made herself ready as in Revelation 19:7 He is coming for a Glorious church without spot or wrinkle. The Holy Spirit is blowing the trumpet to come up here! Come up to a new place in your relationship with God. Come to a place where you welcome the "Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple... and He shall come and sit as a refining fire and fullers soap." Why do we need fire and soap?


To be made ready into a pure spotless Bride for our Lord Jesus Christ, that is why! I hope you will heed the "trumpet call, Beloved Reader!"

The Divine Separation is here: Part One

Dear Beloved Readers,

2010 we are going to see the Word of God prophesied in Mathew 24 accelerate in the Body of Christ in a way you would not even imagine. There are many in the Body of Christ who can not discern evil from good. The word of God tells us in the last days, men will call evil good, and good evil.

The Bible warns us in 2nd Timothy Chapter 3:1, "That in the last days perilous times will come. The word perilous is rendered "hard to deal with and hard to bear." Why is this? Let us continue to read this chapter:

2Ti 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

2Ti 3:4 2Ti 3:5 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Will this happen in the Body of Christ? Could this really be possible? Let us look at Mathew chapter 24 to see what Jesus says:

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I want you to notice something about these two verses.

1. Because sin will abound, the love of many shall wax cold. The amplified version translates it this way, because of multiplied lawlessness, the love of the GREAT BODY shall grow cold.

2. There is a call to overcome: he that endures unto the end, not the middle, the same shall be saved.


This is the choice God is allowing to come into His house. Remember, Jesus taught us that we should allow the wheat and tares to grow together until the time of the harvest. At harvest time, the true nature of a tare can be discerned from true wheat.

You can not tell the difference between a tare and wheat until it is full grown. That is why they must be left to grow together. Another words Jesus allows them both in the house until their "true fruit" is manifested. The tare will produce a tares' fruit and will be removed. The wheat will produce its fruit and will be gathered.

For many years, many have prayed a sinner's prayer, but their lives have been the opposite of what it means to be a new creation. Many have decided to live in the world and be a friend of it, yet have a "form of godliness." How is the Lord going to separate the wheat from the tares?

He is doing it right now! I can't even tell you the persecution that is coming to those who desire to be Holy as He is Holy. There is a spirit in the church that says, " I can do whatever I want "because his mercies are new every morning."

That logic produces an it is "OK" to sin mentality Jesus will forgive me. In Northern Colorado where I have ministered for almost four years, many in the church in that region believe that they don't even sin. The flesh sins and that is not them. The Holy Spirit in them is pure and can't sin, so they aren't sinning, their flesh is. I am not making this up. Again in the same state, it is approved in one church for a married men to have dinner with another man's wife. Why, because we are Brothers and Sisters in Christ?

Through Television, TV, and Internet Sin is glorified and accepted in the world and that spirit is now taking deep root in many Christians lives. It is a lie from the pit of hell that will damn so many people because they are trusting in a lie and not the truth.

Do we sin? Yes we do. I still fall short no doubt! But the question is what do we do with that sin. Do we excuse it? Do we sweep it under the rug? Do we not even want to know what caused us to do it? Nope! God loves you just like you are. He will meet you right where you are at? Perhaps if you are unsaved, but not the saved.

I wonder if Christians today in our nation read their Bible anymore? What does the New Testament say about us and sin. 2nd Cor. Chapter 6:14-17. This is a commandment from God! Did you hear me? This is what is required of us as Christians!

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what agreement hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

2Co 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 2Co 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

How about another New Testament command to live Holy before the Lord: James chapter 4!

Jas 4:1 Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?Jas 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it in your pleasures.

Jas 4:4 Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world maketh himself an enemy of God.

Whosoever would be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Christians today agree with unmarried people living together as husband and wife. Christians today believe you can divorce your husband and wife for any reason and it is OK? Christian Teens and young people have no problem having premarital sex. God will forgive them and they are going to get married anyway? Really!

In the 1950's if a young person got pregnant or had premarital sex they were not seen as heroes like they are today. God love you. His mercy is new every morning would never be told to a brother and sister that have fallen into sin from a Christian!They would have wept with them, prayed with them to repent and turn to God. Why is sin glorified in the church? Why is it so accepted?

Because we all do it! So if we have one area in our own lives where we fail we can't speak or preach against sin or we will be called hypocrites. The standard the world has produced for the church is unless you have no sin, you can identify it or speak against it. "Those of you without sin, cast the first stone." What a lie! This lie had to be confronted in Corinth when a man was having sex with a relative. Paul said this to the church in Corinth: Would you cancel your ministry subscription to the Apostle Paul who wrote these words:

1Co 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

(Please read what he says to the leaders and the people in the Corinthian church!)

1Co 5:2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

(What a mean Pastor Paul? How dare him judge this man! Doesn't he know those of you without sin can only cast the first stone? Does he not know that if you judge, you will surely be judged? )

1Co 5:3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already!

(What this false prophet Paul has a lot of nerve! We know this person, he is a good person, he tried hard. How dare him judge this man. This man cried over his sin. He was saddened he did it. This man tried to fix things.) Read on:

as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 1Co 5:4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.


OOPS! I must of missed something here? Deliver such an one unto Satan! WOW, that is heavy! Good thing that was just for the day of Paul! Could you imagine a Pastor or church having to do what Paul is doing here? Oh my God? Could you think of all the tithes they would lose? Could you imagine all the friends we would lose? I am speaking as a fool as I write this you understand


1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 1Co 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us!

OOPS Again! Fool me once, fool me twice! He writes to them "your glorying is not good." What does that mean. They accepted this sin in their midst as OK. They may not have agreed with the man. They may even know it was an abomination to God, but they CHOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!

That is the spirit that grips most of the churches and Christians in America. In the church today in America to do something about it or confront this man "the modern church" calls a sin, but to allow this sin to remain in their midst is acceptable to God!

These leaders in Corinth were not sinless. They weren't perfect but they were required by God to judge this situation under the power of the Holy Spirit. This judgment required the removal of this man from their midst and given over to Satan until he repented.

Do you know the wonderful part of this story? They put the man out of the fellowship. The man repented and got His life right with God and they restored him! WOW, what a novel concept, aye!

As far as I know, no where in the Bible did it say John the Baptist never sinned, only Jesus led the sinless life. Yet, this sinner John the Baptist preached repent the Kingdom of God is at hand.
How could He? He could because He hated it in him and in the lives of God's people.

He came out and separated himself from the things of the world and the "ways of the world." This is the call that the Holy Spirit is making in His House. Come out from among them and separate yourself. This will be the
identifying mark that will separate the wheat from the tares.

Jesus teaches us there will be two in the field, one will be taken, the other left behind. He said, there will be two grinding at the mill, one will be taken, the other left behind. Then He warns us with this word.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only. Mat 24:37 And as were the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Mat 24:38 For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, Mat 24:39 and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

Jesus says that the days that proceed His coming will be like the days of Noah! Interesting he mentions this, "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the Ark!" And they knew not until the flood came and took them all away.

We are at the prophetic calender time of John the Baptist in the church of Jesus Christ. The wheat and the tares are about to be separated in the House of God. How will the Lord do it. Malachi 3 tells us, "Who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He shall come like a refiners fire and fuller soap to thoroughly clean the Levites."

John the Baptist describes it this way:

Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance: Mat 3:9 and think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Mat 3:10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you in water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit and in fire:

Mat 3:12 whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire.

This scripture is being fulfilled in your ears at this time in history. The Lord is thoroughly cleansing His threshing floor? A cry of Who is on the Lord's side is being heard in the House of the Lord. Remember in the last days, Many will have a form of godliness but deny the power there of.

They will pretend to love the Lord or even convinced they love the Lord but they have no power, no power to crucify that sin nature in them and deny themselves and pick up the cross. No there choice will be to be "a lover of self, more than a lover of God."

When we ignore God's will, His thoughts or His commands to please and fill ourselves and call it OK to do, do we really belong to the Lord? If we can't believe that we have sinned or that our sin is not a travesty to God who had to die for them, do we really belong to God?

This heart is going to be seen more and more "Christians" in this next year. Sin is going to be even more accepted than now and they will curse or become angry with anyone who declares this message of repentance? There will be hatred coming against those who bring it to light? There will be false accusations of "those of you without sin, cast the first stone." You are not perfect, you sin, so you can't judge me.

That statement is of the truth, I can judge no one, but God will judge sin! He will judge sinners! And "begins where???? In the House of the Lord! God will judge the one who has the speck and the one who has the plank in their eye. God is the Righteous Judge and He will judge us. That is why we are to "judge our own lives" now!

The Book of James tells us to do this:

Jas 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. Jas 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you.

Was this not an admonition from the Lord? Is not James "judging" the hearts of the people he is writing to and in the next few sentences he tells us not to judge lest we are judged. Is this a contradiction?

James calls them double minded, and to purify their hearts. That is exactly what God is looking for in us, and it is what is going to separate the sheep from the goats, and the wheat from the chaff. He writes: Be afflicted, and mourn and weep.

I warn those in Colorado and Arizona where we minister to repent of this foolishness and arrogant thinking. God is not blessing sin! God will not be mocked. What should our heart look like if we are truly seeking God to purify our hearts? James tells us: be Afflicted, mourning and weeping, let your laughter be turned to morning and your joy to heaviness! Not oh joyful, joyful! God will forgive you Brother? God knows your heart? God understands your sin, and is alright with it.

Let me forewarn those who read this, it is better to throw a mill stone around your neck than lead one of these little one astray. If you agree with another person's sin and treat it as if it OK, you may find yourself facing the same judgment of God. This is not a laughing matter. You may find yourself with their blood on your hands. You may find your self in alignment with the Spirit of Anti-Christ, "concerned with the things of men and not the things of God."

Joel chapter 2 shows us the true heart or repentance needed in this hour of separation.

Joe 2:11 And the Lord is thundering(this is what I have been trying to warn you about in the latest prophetic alert) before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?

Joe 2:12 But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, fasting and with weeping and with sorrow: Joe 2:13 Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God:

This is the way of true and lasting repentance. It is time for the church of the Lord Jesus Christ to repent and come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing. It is time to wash our hand, our hearts, our minds before God.

This is the word "the tares do not want to hear!" This is the words, "the goats will hate and persecute everyone that preaches it." They will preach that false Gospel under the Jezebel Spirit that seduces the church into "eating foods that are sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality." What does the Bible say in Revelation chapters 2 and 3: REPENT!

Don't tolerate the false prophetic voice of Jezebel calling herself a prophetess: Here is her message. "Sin is not that bad. You are under the blood. God understands your trying. God knows you really can't change until you die." You don't have to live Holy! You can enjoy the things of the world and fellowship with it? The repentance stuff, that is deception. Those people who preach it are "holier than thou." They have sin in their own lives how can they tell us what to do."

Be careful dear reader. Sin is sin! Jesus Christ had to suffer the worse type of death in the history of mankind to defeat it. It cost Him everything to break it's power over it. Should we remain in sin? Should it be OK to keep sinning everyday like business as usual? Why is there no power in our lives like at Pentecost? Why is there no Glory filling our shadows? SIN!

In closing this first part, I once again want to declare that 2010 will begin the fullness of the great falling away that was predicted in the church.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.


Did you read it! Let no man deceive you.... for that day shall not come, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, AND THEN... the man of sin be revealed.

This event, the "great falling away first" has begun in the House of God. It has begun by a divine separation of the sheep from the goats and the wheat from the tares. It has begun because the winnowing fan of the Lord Himself is in the threshing floor to sift that is wheat from that which is a tare.

Some of you reading this have become arrogant in your heart and deceived by the spirit of this age. Repent while you still have time. The hours is almost over! Some of you would rather glorify in the sin of others than the Holiness of God and His glory! You will bring God's judgment upon you for this sin if you don't repent.

Beloved Reader, we have little time to weep, mourn and be afflicted over our sin until the Fire of God comes to remove it from our heart. Paul told us Jesus would come for a Glorious Church without spot or blemish? How is he going to get them out? Kill us and take us to heaven and give us a bath? No, He is doing it now. The wise virgins have heard His call. They are buying the extra oil in preparation to hear the sound at midnight, Behold the Bridegroom, go out and meet Him.

Will you be one of them? Will you be wheat or a tare? Do you even want to really know the answer? I leave you with the following warning direct from the lips of our Master:


Mat 24:40 Then shall two men be in the field; one is taken, and one is left: Mat 24:41 two women shall be grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left. Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.

Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through. Mat 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Mat 24:45 Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Mat 24:47 Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. Mat 24:48 But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth;Mat 24:49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken;

Mat 24:50 the lord of that servant shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, Mat 24:51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Have you been listening? The end of 2009!

Dear Beloved Readers,

It has been a time since I have written to you on this blog site. One reason is that is has been a very busy season in our lives, and the other is that I have been trying to listen closely to what the Lord is saying.

I am very afraid most of the "church" is not listening to what God is truly saying. Many are paying attention to the condition of what America looks like (the them) but not paying attention to the true state of the Church of Jesus in America. (the us)

Everyday we go on as business as usual. Our goal: change the politics of the land, come up with new ways of reaching the lost. We are having more meetings, more conferences, but the condition of the church is not getting better.

How can I say that? Just ask some simple questions? How many Born Again believers know the voice of God and hear it each day? How many know what their calling is and have given up their entire life for Christ? How many are living the example of what it means to truly be like Christ? Where is the evidence of God's power, anointing and glory in our own lives or in our "weekly church meetings?"

What have we built in the American Church? A place where "I am OK, you are OK attitude while we are filled with every type of sin imaginable. Yet, no one is blowing the trumpet of repentance, or at least very few are.

The Lord warned us what the days would like in the church. Let us read 2nd Timothy chapter 3 and see what the Lord says about our days.

2Ti 3:1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. 2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2Ti 3:3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 2Ti 3:4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 2Ti 3:5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.

2Ti 3:6 For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, 2Ti 3:7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2Ti 3:8 And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 2Ti 3:9 But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.

This is happening before our very eyes! God has done a separation this year in His own house. Does anyone see what is happening? I encourage you to go to the Prophetic Alert link on this website and read the Word God gave me for 2009, the separation of the sheep.

I guess the test of a prophetic word is this, did it come to pass? I can tell you 100% that this word has come to pass and is still coming to pass. Those who were once secure in the Lord have fallen away by doctrines of devils.

In one particular State, in some churches it is OK for a married man to go out to dinner with another man's wife. It is OK for leadership to agree for a woman to divorce her husband to marry another man many years younger than her just because! It is OK to bring a "brick" from a building in which an Evangelist with a healing gift to a ministry in a picnic basket, painted gold and surrounded by a red cloth, being told that healing will come to this ministry.

I have watched people first hand taste the deep things of God this year and know God spoke to them and healed them later turn against the very message and messenger they received. Every day the hearts of those who truly belong to God are being proven. I have seen brothers and sisters in Christ turn away from God's will just to get what they wanted instead of God's will.

In one church, God spoke so clearly and accurately that the Pastor told me, he has not seen a move of God like this in all his 30 years of ministry. God spoke and uncovered the sin and intentions of the hearts in many of the people in great love. He gave them a chance to put down their positions and turn to back to Jesus their first love, yet many after were filled with anger because God would do such a thing. They would not even believe that God would dare ask them for their positions to lay down.

It seems many have not read the bible very well. Abraham had to lay down Isaac on the alter to make sure God was always first in Abraham's heart. God would never do that to us leaders in the church? We are truly in perilous times. A little 3 year old boy, a young prophet of God, is being awakened in the night to the sound of the "trumpet blowing." He cries, Mommy, the trumpet is blowing loudly in my ears."

Dear Beloved Readers, a three year old can hear the sound of God's trumpet of preparation and separation, but the church and many of it's leaders can not? Why is that? 2010 is going to be a year that many believers never wanted to see come upon the church. I am going to write extensively about it soon. But we are about to see the word in Mathew 24 come to pass.

Please dear family of God, this is the most serious times of our lives. The lines of separation have been drawn. Will you be found on God's side, or will you be deceived to think you are on His side when you are not? Take the test of Rev chapters 1 through 3. Are you doing much work for God but lost Him as your first love? Are you tolerating the prophetess Jezebel seducing you to eat the food of this world and have intercourse with it? Do you have a reputation of being alive, but are dead? Are you seated where Satan is seated? Are you saying you are rich and in need of nothing, but really are poor, blind, pitiable and naked?

It breaks my heart to see where so many of the family of God are turning to? They would rather have a ministry than God! They would rather have a reputation in front of men than being known as belonging to God. They would rather please man than please God. They would rather be a friend of the world and an enemy of God, yet proclaim Him as Lord.

We are in deep deep trouble in this nation, but we won't admit it. The prophets of this age are prophesying peace, prosperity, and Glory, when God is calling us to repent and make the crooked places straight.

I am not going to shut my mouth!! All hell has tried to stop me and many others from speaking this message of repentance. The Spirit of Jezebel has tried to oppose the true word of God, but God is rising up the Jehu's and Elisha's for our day and hour to cut off her head and all those who are AHAB'S with her.

Malachi Chapter 3:1-3 is here. The Lord whom you seek has suddenly come to His temple! Who can stand when He appears? Who can endure the day of His coming?

Malachi Chapter 4 speaks a sure word to us in the world and in the nation.

Mal 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. Mal 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts.

Mal 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

2010 will be the year of the greatest falling away the church has ever seen. It won't be evident to the natural eye for many, but a divine choice will be made in each believer's heart. Who is on the Lord's side is the question each believer will have to answer. Many will follow the way of 2nd Timothy Chapter 3. Many will go the way found in Mathew 24.

Why? Because of multiplied lawlessness of sin! When will we allow the Lord to "search us and see if there be any wicked way in us?" Why is that such a "hated" word? Why does a national preacher tell a TV commentator "he does not have to preach against sin, just messages that encourage people?"

It is the SIN issue the church in America does not want to deal with! Many in the church and in leadership believe, we are under the blood, I can do whatever I want. Jesus loves me just the way I am. I don't have to live a Godly life. I am not purchased with a price! I prayed a "sinners prayer" and I can be in love with the world, even though James warns, "to be a friend of the world is to take a stand as an enemy of God."

The love of money will cause many to turn away from God. They will say, God is not asking me for my life? I can make money my first priority and take care of my needs first! They will be just like the rich young ruler and walk away sorrowful. Many in the Body of Christ are disregarding the warning found in Luke 14.

In this chapter an invitation to the invited ones came from the Master of the house, but one by one they began to make excuses. "I have a house. I have a job, I have a family." Aren't these the very issues of "life in the world?" I wonder if anyone today in the Body of Christ has bothered to read, that the Master of the House was angry?

Does anyone realize He sends His servants into the highways and byways to bring in the lame, halt and the blind for His house to be full? Does anyone realize He swears in His wrath that those invited SHALL NEVER TASTE OF HIS SUPPER? Does anyone see He separates those who won't answer His call to find those who will? Am I making these things up as some want to believe when it is written in the Bible?

As I close this blog, I want you to read the warning found in Mathew 24. Let us not let this day come upon us unawares. Let us blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm on God's Holy mountain.

Mat 24:4 And Jesus said to them in answer, Take care that you are not tricked. Mat 24:5 For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them. Mat 24:6 And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

Mat 24:7 For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places; Mat 24:8 But all these things are the first of the troubles. Mat 24:9 Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

Mat 24:10 And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another. Mat 24:11 And a number of false prophets will come, causing error. Mat 24:12 And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold. Mat 24:13 But he who goes through to the end will get salvation. (BBE version)

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (KJV)

Beloved Reader when will we understand that this day coming upon us burns as an oven? Will we truly hear the sound of God's trumpet calling us to repent in the church in America?

"Mat 3:1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mat 3:3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Mat 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

Mat 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Mat 3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

He that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit of God says to the churches! Who is on the Lords' side? When will we wake up Church in America and see our true spiritual condition? When will we understand to be the Bride of Jesus we have to "make ourselves ready" as found in Rev. 19. Jesus is coming for a Glorious Church without spot, blemish or wrinkle. Yet we want to continue in our sins as if they are OK with God!

What has bewitched us to believe this in our American Church? Go ahead, have your ministry if that is what you really want! Keep working hard for God, but I leave you with this warning from the word of God found in Mathew Chapter 7,

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Mat 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Mat 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

God forbid that anyone of us would ever hear these words!

911: Did we the church in the USA miss our wake up call?

Hello Beloved Readers,

This morning our hearts go out to all the families of those killed and wounded in the 911 attack upon our nations. You are continually in our prayers, and we pray God is comforting you and restoring you and your families in your great loss.

We also pray for our military and their families that are serving so faithfully in Iraq and Afghanistan protecting us and our freedoms while they bring freedom and liberty to those in need. Of course we also pray for our police and fire fighters and first responders families that their loved ones lost their lives that day so tragically.

I don't know about you, but seeing these events again on Fox News this morning re-awakened in me the call for this nation to truly change our ways. We are not the great evil empire many liberals and those who hate the United States suggest. There is no other nation on the planet who has given more to help the people in the world than our nation. We have been a kind and generous nation to the peoples of the world.

I wish the countries that we have sent help, aid, and support to would remember not just our faults, but also the goodness of the American people. They may not like some of our politicians or even our policies sometimes, but they must not forget that God has blessed this nation to be a light in the midst of darkness and help to those who are helpless.

This brings me to my topic this morning to discuss with you. Have we in America forgotten what happened on 9/11/2001? I for one will never forget. I was up early that day in Sam's club getting some supplies for the ministry. I happened to walk by the TV department to see a few people gathering around the TV. I stood there for many minutes when I saw the horror of the 2nd jet fly into the World Trade Center.

When I saw that, I ran home to call my wife to tell her, and I then called my mom and sister and all I knew to make sure they were OK. I didn't know what else was going to happen. Were we safe in our home and schools in Florida? I called the schools to see what they were going to do with the children. The school system decided to let the children out at noon. You better believe I was at their schools ready to pick them up and keep them safe at home.

We all wept at the loss of life and the potential loss of life as the buildings collapsed before our eyes. We were in shock, not just for a day, but for weeks and months, our eyes glued to the TV set. I never kept the TV on at night, but since that day I keep the TV on every night. I can't sleep with out it on now. I wanted to keep alert, be sober, and vigilant to protect and keep safe my family.

Who is to blame for the 9/11 attack? It depends what side of the political spectrum you listen to or whatever religious belief you may have. For me 9/11 was a warning to our nation, to the church in America that our covering from the Lord was being lifted because of the sin that is in our midst.

It would be easy to say it is the secular humanist, atheist, or even Liberals in our nation to be the cause of our decline. It would be easy to accuse the abortionist and the Liberal woman's movement and Planned Parenthood. It would be easy to blame our politicians? Do they have a blame for our present condition in our nation? I will let you decide that.

Dear reader, when we look a little closer though we may have pointed a finger outwardly at others and say "they are the cause" of 9/11. But what about us? Can we see we have 4 more fingers pointing back at us?

Let me make this clear, the people who flew those jets and those who planned it are the "legally responsible" ones for this tragedy, NO ONE ELSE! Our political policies in other nations are not the cause. George Bush or Bill Clinton, or Republicans or Democrats or even the need for oil is the cause.

The actions of these people who did this attack speak for themselves. No matter what their grievance against our nation, killing innocent men, woman and children speaks loudly about their character and nature as people. They legitimize killing innocent people for a political end. There is no justification for any such action as human beings or in any other kind of religion that calls God as their God.

Dialogue, discussion and argument, forgiveness and love could have served their causes much better than killing. People kill because it represents power to them, and that is the reason basic and simple.We must cut through the rhetoric and see the Bible says, "Thou shall not kill." That is a basic tenant of God!

I am not going to debate war, killing or any such thing in this blog, but I want to ask you a question on this day of memorial. Did the church in the USA miss our wake up call? Did we miss our moment to truly repent of the sin in our lives, our families or our churches?

To answer that question we need to look at the fruit in the church since that time? Dear Reader, are you doing anything differently in your walk with God since 9/11? Did you and your family repent of the sin in your life or the lukewarmness that may be in your hearts? Did the Holy Spirit show you that perhaps we have a dead form of religion instead of a true deep abiding relationship with God? Has your church changed or done anything differently now than you did 8 years ago? Did the whole body of believers in your church come together in repentance of our sins like Daniel did for the nation of Israel?

Are you or your church broken over the condition of the church in America? Are you broken that we have deserted our first love? How about that we have put the second commandment above the first and we have worshiped the created thing (our church) above our Creator? Better yet, what about our sin of Babel in the church filled with competition and strife where we have said, " I will make a name for myself or ministry or a tower that will reach into heaven?"

Beloved, Do you pray more now than you did 8 years ago? Is your church meeting daily for prayer? Is there anyone weeping between the porch and the alter as we are commanded in Joel chapter 2 to do, and rend our hearts and not our garments? Are we Pastor's and Leaders doing exactly the same thing today as we did 8 years ago?

Are you services being held in the same way you did then? Are you still getting people home in time for dinner? Are your services still 5- 7 songs, 10 minutes of announcements, 20-30 minutes of preaching, 10 minutes of prayer and out the door we go? Are you still setting the length of time and days of your services? Are you still not allowing the Holy Spirit to have full access to your meetings in worship, prayer and ministry?

Are the people in your church more in love with Jesus than they were 8 years ago? How about you, Pastor? Have you grown closer in your walk with God over these last 8 years? Are you preparing your people to watch, be sober and vigilant? Are you teaching them not for the day of the Lord to come upon them unawares or as a thief in the night?

Can the people God has placed under your care hear the Lord's voice for themselves and follow Him daily? Have they developed a deep sensitivity to the Holy Spirit? Have they learned to wait upon Him for His instructions and directions for their lives? Are they becoming more mature and now teachers as the Apostle admonishes the church that they should be? Have they grown past the elementary doctrines of faith found in Hebrews 6? Are your people ready to lay down their whole life for Christ?

Dear reader, How many times did you answer yes to these questions? If the answer to these questions had more no than yes, we are still in serious trouble as a church in America. If this is true, than we have missed our wake up call to truly repent of the sin in our life, the church and this nation up to this day.

Why is not 2 Chronicles 7:14 bringing our national CHRISTIAN leadership together to repent until we are changed as a Body of Christ and a nation. We talk about it and even preach about it, but we don't do it. Our national church leadership is pointing us to blessings, signs and wonders, Christian movies, politics and more. What they are not doing is bringing the church of Jesus Christ in the USA to it's knees and truly repent of our double mindedness, and our having a love affair with the world as found in the book of James.

In the last 8 years, repentance is still a dirty word for most of the church today. We have said as the Laodecian church has said, "we are rich and in need of nothing?" Does anyone else in the Body of Christ see that we as God's people are truly poor, blind, pitiable and naked as Jesus said?

If the tragedy of 9/11 did not wake up the church to repent with a lasting call to change, what will it take for us to have this lasting change? Do we have to experience a worse national tragedy than this?

Beloved, I have been writing and warning that the North Winds of Adversity are now beginning to sweep over our nation. These winds reflect situations and circumstances that God will allow to cause us to see our true state before Him to give us a chance to repent and change. We don't need to experience another 9/11 if we will "today, hear His voice, and not harden our hearts!"

I happen to listen to Glen Beck's radio show yesterday, he a professing Mormon spoke on the radio about him and his co-workers fasting and praying last Saturday for our nation? He is a Mormon? He is fasting and praying, what about us? What are we doing American Church? What are we seeing today 8 years later after this terrible attack?

Our country is in great need, and we are in the most serious collision course we have ever been on. Yet the church who is called to be a House of Prayer for the Nations doesn't even have to time to fast and pray. We can't even find people to help us pray at our 24/7 prayer center for this kind of prayer and seeking the Lord.

We have met many Pastors and Leaders who say it is a good idea to have this kind of Center, but not one church has joined in laboring with us to pray for our region, city, churches, and leaders accept on the National or Global Day of prayer or a "prayer event." Why is that? Are we too funny looking or something?

Beloved, Prayer events are great, but they are like shooting stars that light the sky only for a moment. We need a continuous city, state and national prayer movement that will shake heaven and change earth. Why are we not doing it? Because we say I am OK, your OK? We refuse to believe we have sinned against God. We refuse to believe that God is hardly even welcome in our meetings? We refuse to believe that our services and meetings are now "user friendly" instead of God friendly.

Our churches are wonderful places for people to come, but awful for God's presence to come too! We have put the needs of men above the needs of our God who needs us to love Him with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength.

Church in America, did we miss our wake up call? Did we miss our moment? Is there still time to repent and change? Can God burn 2nd Chronicles 7:14 in all of our hearts? Will we do it? Will we come together as one voice, one church and one people and repent of our wicked ways and turn from them? Will we seek his face and humble ourselves so He will heal our land?

Let 9/11/2009 be a call to truly turn our hearts back to God and to know His ways. Let it be a time we can begin to say, "search me oh God and see if there be any wicked way in me." Let this memorial 2009 be a time where we "His priest" minister between the porch and the alter with fasting, weeping until every hindrance of broken fellowship with God is restored.

Only then can this nation and the church in the USA be the light we have been called to be in the world. It is not too late, but time is growing shorter. If you are one that God is touching today, please write to me at henry@iamtucson.org. Let is start with you.

We are going to start a national repentance prayer network of prayer warriors starting this month. If you will join us in this national call of repentance, please let me know. I will be writing more details about this shortly.

May God cause us to remember those families who lost their loved ones 8 years ago today, and those who have been wounded or loss their lives since them in our Armed Forces.

Let us remember the innocent civilians that lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq as well. Let us not forget what happened ever as our wake up call to truly repent in our nation.


God bless all of you, and God bless America!
