Beloved, I am about to post a prophetic alert called The North Winds will spread the fire! on the website in the next day or so. It is a word that is very strong for us to hear, and I fear many won’t want to hear it at all. It is a word that must deal with the very heart of what this series of teaching is about, dead religion, or a living genuine relationship with God through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.

This Prophetic Alert came to me as I sought the Lord on what He would have me to write next from His heart. As I waited upon the Lord, His overwhelming urgency hit me. An urgency that we can't "teach" the change that needs to come to the church in America and our leadership, but WE MUST CHANGE NOW!

I write to you this early morning, though I started last evening, with a very heavy heart before the Lord. It is as if the Lord is showing me a picture of the church and the majority of our Christian leaders in the church in our nation. I am seeing our present church leaders as little children who don’t want to hear what their parent or teacher has to say. I see the majority of our Christian leaders with their fingers in their ears and making the sound like a child, nana nana, nana.

As the Lord is trying to speak, correct and discipline us his leaders and his church; we are making noises from our mouths with our fingers in our ears so we won’t hear what the Lord wants to say to us. This is a pivotal position of divine significance that we the Christian leaders are now taking before God Himself. This spiritual position is going to bring the winds of the North to blow more swiftly and powerful upon our nation.

This spiritual "rebellion" of not wanting to truly hear what the Spirit of God is saying to us as present Church leaders is stifling the life of the Body of Christ we were called to tend. This "rebellion of heart" of not heading the call to repent as His people is causing the church in which we are to make disciples of Christ to have "form of godliness, but denying the power there of in our nation. It is causing us to make religious church goers of God's people who truly don't even know who God is, or that He desires to fellowship and speak to them every day and to lead them as their Good Shepherd.

This vision is breaking my heart as it is breaking His! For the Lord is impressing on me that this is our hearts posture as the church leaders in America as a whole. This is how God is seeing us the (American church) every Pastor, Leader and Minister in this nation at this present moment. He is saying like children plugging their ears to His correction, that we have rebellion of the heart against Him and His authority over us.

There is no true genuine national call to Godly repentance for our sins of compromise and idolatry we have allowed being in our midst as the Body of Christ in America. Beloved, fruit does not lie and we are to judge a tree by it's fruit. We are lacking the national repentance as God's leaders and people as required in the book of Joel chapter 2 that He required of Israel, or the repentance that came forth in Nineveh when the prophet Jonah warned them of God’s judgment. We have given lip service to the call of repentance, but have not rended our hearts before God or even our garments and returned to the Lord.

The Spirit of Religion will never repent. It can't repent nor can the leaders under it's power. The religious spirit in leaders will want to kill anyone who calls them on their sins or tells them to repent. John the Baptist, called them by the Spirit of God, Brood of Vipers. Jesus called them, whitewashed tombs." Why? Because the leaders heard the word of the Lord and gnashed their teeth at the call to repent by both by John the Baptist and Jesus the Son of God.

These religious leaders in the time of Jesus, just like many of the leaders are in our time, would not allow God to convict them of their sins. They boasted because "they have Abraham as their Father." and we church leaders have boasted "we have the blood of Jesus" These religious leaders became filled with arrogance and rage as the message to repent came to them in their dead religion, and they had hatred and contempt against the Lord Himself and His forerunner.

That spirit of religion is ruling over the church in the USA and our leadership. We do not want to hear the word that we have turned astray from God. We don't want to hear we are filled with idols in our hearts and churches. That is why God is sending this North wind to blow upon His church. Does that mean there is not a remnant of God’s people truly repenting and hearing His voice? Of course not, there are those in this nation who have ears to hear what God is requiring. There are those who have begun even to answer that call of true repentance.

I am writing this blog before you read the prophetic alert that if you are open to what the Holy Spirit is speaking and not harden your heart, God will bring a spiritual breakthrough in your life and perhaps the Winds of the North will spread the fire of God in those who are hearing and obeying His command.

What I am receiving from the Lord tonight, is that the remnant’s cry will be too little, too late if God does not grant us a miracle in our Nations Church leaderships heart. God is looking at us not just as individuals but as a “nation” of believers who are to have their hearts totally seeking God as their first love, and His kingdom as their first priority. Sadly, this is not our spiritual condition, and beloved this must change now. That is what the Prophetic Alert will declare to us from the Lord.

The Lord is trying to get our attention. He is calling to us by opening up to us His word in the Book of Revelation chapters 1 to 3, but we are not heeding its call to us as His people to repent and be over comers. Because of our spiritual posture of "rebellion of the heart" as the “national church leadership,” the Lord is revealing to me that the Winds of the North are going to blow over our nation.

Because we are not listening nor heeding His call to true and genuine repentance that breaks the religious yoke of bondage that has produced a "form of godliness," in us. Nor have we returned to our first love to do our first work, these winds from the North are going to increase speedily upon us.

The North winds in scriptures represent the winds of adversity. Beloved, I do not have a clue of what that is going to look like or how it will come, but it will come. I am not prophesying events, attacks or any such thing, those things are known by God. The adversity of these winds, whatever they may be personally or as a nation, is to bring us to true repentance as the people of God and leaders in this nation.

This is not God’s highest intention for us in having to bring this wind upon us. These winds are coming because we have not heeded the call to be broken over our sins and repent. We won’t heed the call and mandate from God to follow 2nd Chronicles 7:14. "If my people, who are called by My name, would humble themselves, seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land."

We are too busy doing our own thing,taking our city for God! We have been doing our own agendas, boasting we are the fastest growing church in America, even in the name of God. We will do everything else but pray and fast. We will do everything else but repent of our sins. We will do everything else but what David did as he cried, "search me Oh God and try me, and see if there be any wicked way in me.

We have fallen for the deception that we "the church" are alright, and it is the wicked Democrats or Republicans that are causing the problem. We have fallen for the lie that because the Supreme Court allows abortion or gay marriage that we have these problems.

Our nations problems is because of our sin in the church that we will not turn and repent from. Our nations problems is because we the church of the living God is lukewarm and having a love affair with the world. We will not allow the Lord to build His church, we want to do it with our programs, agendas that make us feel good.

It is because of our desire as Christian leaders to build something big for God, and ourselves a name for God that we have brought the things of the world, the music of the world, the ways of the world into the house of God as idols. and much, much more. We won't preach against sin in the church because we may lose tithers. We allow divorce like it is drinking water. The Episcopal Church, the Lutherans are now allowing gay ministers even though the word of God forbids this kind of activity.

Please precious readers, this is our sins. Not the Episcopal, Lutheran, Denominational or Non-Denominational. We all have sin still in our hearts. We have spots, blemishes and wrinkles we are living with as acceptable in our lives. The Lord is speaking that He is coming for a Bride without spot or blemish! Yet we don't believe it in reality. We believe the words, but they are not for us. The Leaders of the church in the USA want to preach "happy" messages, or messages that "condemn" the world, while God is saying, "look at you."

Why should I even write this word to you and all of us? If I were smart in the sense of the world, I would water this message down and not even write the prophetic alert. I should make it easier to swallow to the readers so they will still like me. I should not even mention the “church leadership” in this word or in the prophetic alert. I should save my reputation. No one will ask me to come and minister in their church.Why, would I risk all that to write this blog and release this prophetic alert?

Because Dear Reader, every fiber of my being wants to see the true unity of the Body of Christ come into existence and to see this Glorious Bride Jesus is waiting for. These words that I write in this blog and the prophetic alert, might be misunderstood and misrepresented. I may be accused of being divisive, proud or whatever someone may say as to write such a word on the website as from the Lord.

Truthfully beloved, in the natural it will do me much more harm then good even amongst my brethren in Christ to post this alert and to write this blog, but it will be worth whatever the price may be if one Pastor, leader or person hears it and changes.

Beloved, hear my heart of love toward you and to us as His Body, I write this word to all of us her in the USA. I am not excused from its power to convict my own heart. I am guilty as much as any other leader in our nation. These are our sins, not theirs or someone else’s. This is our nation. The church in America has lost our way, and for the most part has become religious with a form of Godliness denying the power thereof, I am afraid.

I write these words this early morning because I love the Lord with all my heart. I write them because I love His people, His church, His bride with every fiber of my being. I write them because we all must change, repent of our sins and turn back to the Lord the way He desires, not the way we desire to change.

I have no desire to hurt anyone or sow a seed of discord. But the word I am writing to this nation, and to our church leadership is burning in my bones. I know if I don’t write it, I will have much blood upon my hands, and I love the Lord and His people to much to stay silent. I pray that the Spirit of God will prove this word to you as a witness of His Spirit as you read this prelude and the Prophetic Alert to be posted shortly. But if not, you are free to not read another word or sentence and disconnect from this website if you desire. I won’t know anyway, it will between you and God alone. If I have missed it in your eyes, please forgive me!

As I write this word from the Lord, I have the sense of Jesus once again brooding over us as He did over Jerusalem. His desire was to gather them to Himself like a mother hen with her chicks. The Lord actually spoke that in this prophetic alert of the Lord to us in America.

His posture toward the church leaders and Body of Christ in America is to gather us under His wings by us truly repenting as a people of God. Too truly repent and return to Him and to know his heartbeat. This is His greatest desire for us as His people.

At this present moment in history however; we the church leadership won’t listen to that voice to turn and repent, In this we have made a fatal “divine choice of rebellion” and now the North winds must come.

In the picture God has shown me about this prophetic alert, we have gone past the point of not hearing His voice. It is now our present church leadership’s position that “we won’t listen to His voice like a child who has blocked their ears to their parents voice.” God must now bring to us this stronger warning to every single Pastor and church leader in this nation, me included, by sending the North Winds of adversity to us.

What we do with this word will determine our destiny individually and as a nation of believers.

Beloved Reader, you are free to dismiss this word as not from the Lord. You have every right to judge and discern it. Let the true prophets of God and His ministers judge this prelude and the prophetic alert that will be posted in this next day for its birth and origin. Are these words from the Holy Spirit or not? You dearest readers and church leader have been given by God the right to discern these words I am writing if they are His words or not, and you need to do so.

If the prophetic alert and this prelude are the Words from God mouth, I pray the fire of God will consume you as you read them. I pray that a true genuine Spirit of Tears will be birthed in your heart for your life, your family, your church and the Body of Christ in this nation. May the needs of God be met through you as you seek Him with fasting, morning and a sincere broken heart over our spiritual condition and sins. May the Body of Christ in this nation change tonight, starting with me, you and all those who will hear His voice?

I have asked my Communications Director to put a note on the Prophetic Alert site to read this blog first. Now that you have read this, look for the Alert to be posted on our homepage in a day or so. The title of the alert is "The North winds shall spread the fire."

God bless each and everyone of you Dearest Readers, and thank you for reading this blog today!

Hello Beloved Readers,

This is blog post number 100! It is hard to imagine that on this new blog site there are over 100 writings and probably 75 more on our old site. I want to thank the 78 nations and 1000 cities throughout the world that have taken time to view our website and to read these blogs.

I pray they are a blessing to you who read them. It would be nice once in a while for you readers to add a comment or to send me an email if these teachings are making a difference in your life. I pray they are beneficial and bringing you closer to the heart of God.

I do want you to know, that I too like Paul wrote was the chiefest amongst sinners. I am learning how to surrender more and more to the awesome love of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. There is an awakening in my Spirit of the Kingdom that is about to come. The Kingdom of Jesus Christ being established on the earth for a 1000 years.

Dear reader it is burning in me. Our King is really coming and will He find a people or a bride that has made herself ready. Will He find faith on the earth when he comes. Remember Dearest Readers, the kingdoms of this earth will become theh Kingdoms of our Christ the Lord. We are being prepared now to rule and reign with Him forever and ever.

There is a call to His church today. Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your heart as they did when they came out of Egypt. There is cry to us from Jesus, "He that has an ear let him here what the Spirit says to the churches." I pray you are one of them and that is how you found this blog. I pray this 100th post will change your life forever in Him. God bless you my dear friends, brothers and sisters and family of God.

The Gehsemane Cry:

I wonder how many of you dear readers ever saw the movie “The passion of Christ.” It is an incredible movie about the suffering and death of Jesus like none other portrayed before. It is violent and a graphic portrayal of the torture Jesus went through at the hands of the Romans with the approval of the Jewish Leaders.

Literally in the movie they portray a cat of 9 tails whip pulling the flesh out of Jesus back, legs and arms and blood pouring everywhere. This is far more graphic than other movies like King of Kings or Jesus of Nazareth. There was a lot of uproar over the movie being made because it portrays the Romans and Jews not in a pretty light and the barbaric torture that Jesus went through.

The movie begins where I want to share with you in this blog. It begins in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this Garden, Jesus is tempted with His greatest temptation, not to die for our sins or take our place. So agonizing was this choice that Jesus sweat great drops of blood from His forehead.

In that Garden the great wrestling match of heaven and earth took place. Once again a divine choice was at stake. The first Adam when faced with a choice to do God’s will above all, succumbed to his wife and decided to choose his own will, over God’s will. There was no suffering involved, no torture, just a simple choice: who do I belong to? Who will I serve? Whose will is supreme, his or God’s?

With one simple act demonstrated to him by his wife, he gave in to being his own god and separated himself from God’s glory until the day God would provide a savior Christ the Lord. One simple act of disobedience condemned mankind to be under the rule of Satan the god of this world for the last 6000 years.

Look around dear family of God and read the history of mankind under the dominion of Satan the god of this world. You see this is very important for you to grasp. The reason Judas betrayed Jesus was to force his hand to set up “an earthly kingdom” then and there. Jesus refused to do so and said to Pilot, “I am a king; my kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world my Father would send legions of angels to defend me.”

Jesus Christ did not come 2000 years ago to set up an earthly kingdom then, but to establish His kingdom in the hearts of men. Dear reader this is the heart that separates a religion from a relationship. Jesus ultimate goal at that time was to rule “the heart’s of men by allowing men to be “born again” from above. "He came to demonstrate to us a life under the completer rulership of Abba Father on this earth.

My dear family in Christ in which I am laboring with my tears, Jesus never deviated from the menu, never made up new rules, and never changed the Father’s plan. In fact He said, “I have not come to do my own will, but the will of the Father that sent me. Listen to these following passages of scripture to see this kingdom authority and power in a man’s heart.

John 4:34, “my meat is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish my work.”

John 5:29 “And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged. John 5:30 Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.”

The book of Hebrews quotes an old testament prophesy about Jesus telling His true purpose for coming: Let us read it.

Heb 10:4 -9 for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he said, Sacrifice and offering thou does not desire, But a body you have prepare for me; In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou has no pleasure:

Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do thy will, O God. Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou would not accept, neither have you pleasure in (they are offered according to the law), then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He takes away the first covenant that he may establish the second covenant.

As I write to you this evening, by the way ends up to the early morning, I want us all to see how far we have fallen from the heart and truth of this glorious Gospel, me included. Why did Jesus come to the earth to save us? Did He come to save us from our “guilty conscious” from our past sins only? Did He come so that we can receive forgiveness today to go back to living exactly how we did before we knew Him?

This is a good point to make beloved readers! Many believe that once we are saved we are always saved no matter what we do because we have Jesus in us now. Some even believe since we have the Holy Spirit in us, we can never sin; our flesh is doing it according to Romans 7. They believe it is not them doing it but sin in them. It is ok for the sin to do it, because it is not them committing the sin. They are perfect because of the blood of the lamb and the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is a true false doctrine and a doctrine of devils. In the USA, most Christians don’t believe that but many live like that. A good dear friend in Christ just shared a statistic with me that only 57% of evangelical Born Again Christians in the USA believe that Jesus is the only way for salvation and to God! Did you read that? That means 43% of Evangelical Christians believe there is another way to find God and be saved here in the USA?

How could we ever stray so far from the TRUTH of the Gospel? Beloved, John the Baptist came preaching this Gospel as a Friend of the Bridegroom or His Forerunner and listen to His words about true repentance and change of our hearts. Please read the highlighted verses:

Mat 3:1 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, saying, Mat 3:2 Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mat 3:3 for this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight. Mat 3:4 Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

Mat 3:5 Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about the Jordan; Mat 3:6 and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said unto them, You 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 rise up children unto Abraham. Mat 3:10 and even now the axe lies at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that brings 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.

Does that sound like a message of “once saved, always saved” to you? Beloved reader, there was a requirement to meet God’s terms of salvation: Repent! That means turn around, amend your ways, and do the opposite of what you were doing that was sin. John warned them by saying to them “who warned you about God’s judgment to come upon all mankind? Bring forth fruit that proves you are a different person, a new man.

Beloved we quote 2nd Cor. 5:17 every week, but is it a true living reality in us? Let us read it: 2Cor. 5:17: "Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: the old things are passed away; behold, they are become new."

Beloved reader, are we really new creatures or have we just changed our vocabulary? Are we still living like we did before we knew Christ? Do we still have the same priorities, nice house, and new car, no problems in our lives, lots of money, vacation, and ball games?

Beloved, has anything in us really changed? Are we open to the Kingdom of God’s rule in our heart? Are we living to please ourselves, satisfy ourselves as we did before we are saved? Or have we heard what Jesus said, “No greater love than this than a man lay his life down for his friends.”

Dear Reader, the power of the Gethsemane Cry was not that Jesus sweat great drops of blood or even the fact that he was tempted. This was not the first time He was tempted by the enemy. The power of the Gethsemane Cry is the fact it was here Jesus won, “our new life to be hid in him.” It is here, real Christianity gets its power and meaning.

Jesus said, “Here I am, coming to do your will Oh God. A body you have prepared for me.” He established a “new covenant based on a new truth.” NOT MY WILL, BUT YOURS BE DONE! It is this Truth and this TRUTH alone that established a BETTER COVENANT the Book of Hebrew explains in chapter 9-11.

Christianity wasn’t based upon someone praying a sinner’s prayer. It wasn’t based on our “idea” of what it means to be born again, but God’s idea of what it is to be born again. To be Born again in the power of the Holy Spirit is to live a “completely new and different life on this earth.” Not the same one we had before with whip cream and a cherry on top because we go to church. The late Keith Green said, “Going to church does not make you anymore of a Christian than going to McDonald’s makes you a hamburger.”

In America, our brand of Christianity testifies of a new life in Christ. It preaches about it, but it does not do it. The church of today preaches being born again, but does not lead people to the “power of being born again of the Spirit of God.” If this were not true, the church would never be in the mess we are in at the end of the age as found in Revelation Chapters 1-3.

Our present brand of Christianity allows us to “keep our life as it were, except get rid of the awful things that are not pleasing in men’s sight”, and take all the good of our new life in Christ. It is this very thought, heart and attitude that has produced a Luke warm church in this nation that will be spewed out of the mouth of God unless we truly repent of our sins.

The agony of Gethsemane in a believer’s life is hardly felt anymore. Again the Bible tells us of the real wrestling of our souls it takes to follow Christ and break the power of living our old life under sin’s dominion. Listen to the word of God found in Hebrews chapter 12:

Heb 12:1 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Heb 12:2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Heb 12:3 For consider him that has endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that you wax not weary, fainting in your souls. Heb 12:4 You have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin:

This is the agony in the Garden, this is Gethsemane's Cry. Jesus was going to condemn the power of sin over us and in our lives by putting it to death on the cross. He was going to bring forth the ability in us by the power of His endless life and the Holy Spirit coming upon us to live that same life of 100% obedience to God's will. It is that grace that we can now say by that same Holy Spirit, Here I am Father, coming to do your will! This is the real Gethsemane's cry! That same new life in Christ is to live as citizens of heaven and strangers on this earth.

Beloved, the un-believers do not see that real changed life of Chrsit in us as a Body of Christ. A few individuals or even a few churches might reflect that, but the Body of Christ here in America is scorned, maligned, laughed at and ridiculed not because of our belief in Christ, but our failure to live like Him as citizens of another Kingdom.

I know many of you who have made it this far in this blog might say, Brother Henry, you are too critical. Brothers and Sisters let me assure you that I am not excluding myself from this word. This word is for me as much as anybody else. I need to grow deeper into Christ than I ever have before until the Kingdom of God consumes me as it did Paul, Peter, James and John.

In that Garden, Gethsemane's cry was proven, Jesus could have walked away and we all would be dead in our sin. He could have looked for a short cut away from death of the cross, but he didn’t. He came to restore the true Kingdom of God in men’s heart.

What is that Kingdom in reality: "Here I am, I have come to do your will Oh God, A body you have prepared for me.” I have not come to bring offerings and sacrifices to you, but a life that is completely and totally lived in your will Father God alone.

This and this alone is where real and genuine Christianity alone. It is not based on the work we do for God, nor even going to the mission field. It has nothing to do with the outward but everything to do with the inward “miracle power of God” to change your life to “love to do the Father’s will.” Dear reader, will these be yours and my testimony? Will we say, here I am Lord, a body you have prepared for me?

Many in the Body of Christ are basing their whole walk with God on what they are doing for His kingdom! I pray it is for His Kingdom and not theirs. Remember Jesus said, “Many in that day will say to me Lord, Lord, look what we have done in your name. We healed the sick, cast out devils and prophesied in your name. Jesus looked at them and said, “Depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.”

Beloved, may none of us ever hear those words, but if our life is not radically changed, our priorities the opposite of this world, our language, our actions the opposite of what we were, I wonder if we are really yet Born Again from above. The kingdom of God is from above and it is in you, and it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Honestly my beloved family of God in the USA is this your life my fellow Christian? Are you living solely for Him and His will alone each day? Have you abandoned yourself away from the love of this world, for the Love of Him and His kingdom? Is there real and true evidence of a “new life” in Christ being lived in you? Can Gethsemane's cry be heard in you as it was in Christ Jesus?

If not, it is not too late to try again. Ask the Holy Spirit now to bring the power of true conviction to your heart until a Godly sorrow arises in you. Then when and if He convicts you of sin, turn from your sins and turn to Him/ Promise Him today you will walk in another and new direction of His will for your life. Start by making what I am about to write the deepest cry of your heart?

Dear Heavenly Father,

Today I have heard your word, and I make a true and honest pledge to do your will for the rest of my life. I forsake this world and all that is in it and ask the Holy Spirit to establish the Kingdom of God in my heart. I Ask you to take over my life and now to lead me in the footsteps of Christ. I Ask you to reveal in me the true Son of God in the power of the Holy Spirit. I am today a willing prisoner for the rest of my life, and I really mean it. So today Oh God, by your grace I pray and cry out to you, Here I am Lord, ready to do your will, a body you have prepared for me. I am yours now and forever, save me completely and finish your work in me now and forever more, in Jesus name I pray and I receive.

If you prayed that prayer above Dearest Reader, the fire of God will consume you and the real Born Again power of God will come to your life to live a true Christian life. If you prayed this prayer today, please write me at henry@flameoffire2007.org and let me know you did. I will write back to you and pray for you as soon as I receive it.

May you be the first and real fruit of the coming Kingdom of God that is about to be established on the earth in Jesus' Millennial Reign. Thank you for praying this prayer and please contact me. Please pray for me for this is my own prayer as well.

In His love to you always, Beloved Readers!!

I write this evening with such a heavy heart and spirit about the condition of the Lord’s church here in the and in many nations. As I write this blog, I accuse no one or try to sound critical or judgmental, but I weep tonight over “OUR” true condition.

I am writing this to all our Brothers and Sisters in the nations that are reading this, and I am asking for you to pray for us, your family here in the USA. Many of us have lost our way to the true light of Jesus Christ as He really is.

I implore my Christian family throughout the world to pray for us Christians here in the USA. God has been bringing together men and women of God who share this same heart wrenching feeling like Nehemiah did when he heard the report about Jerusalem in His day. My dear friend and Brother Pastor Jackson from Arizona preached a message about this, and gave us a word concerning our work like Nehemiah and the condition of God’s people in our nation.

Dear Christian Leader, Pastor, Prophet, Apostle, Evangelist and Teacher what have we done to this beautiful church that was supposed to be filled with the Glory of God? Tonight I could write about the restoration movements since the dark ages until now. I could write about the restoration of the Prophets and the Apostles, or even the Omega Generation. Yet I fear, what we are looking for today is another “revival” or another “move of God,” greater than the last one.

I am afraid we in the American Spirit Filled churches are looking for another “rush” of the Holy Spirit instead of preparing to come into the time of Christ’s rule in His Millennial Kingdom. I ask myself “what are we doing with the time we have?”

Are we redeeming it for the Lord? I ask myself am I just a convert or am I true disciple and follower of Christ? Can I say with the Apostle Paul in living reality, “I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, but not I, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live, I live by faith in the Son of God who loves me and gave himself for me.”

I wish you could see the tears in my eyes as I write this tonight of the sorrow that is welling up inside of me for our true condition. One of my favorite movies is “The Robe.” The movie is about the centurion who crucified Christ, and His conversion to true Christianity. I weep every time I see that movie at His true and unconditional salvation, and his willingness to die for the one he crucified. What an example of being a true disciple, but the revelation in this movie I want to bring forward is this: After His death the Romans refers to Jesus as the “Crucified One.”

I can’t even write this because I am overwhelmed by the Spirit of God. They called him the “Crucified One.” The Romans didn’t call him the “King of the Jews,” but the "Crucified One." The question we must ask dear Pastors and leaders of this nation is if our name is called Christians, DO WE RESEMBLE THE CRUCIFIED ONE?

The Apostle Paul said, “We are to die daily, and put this flesh to the death of the cross.” The Bible tells us “we have been purchased with a price, we are “NOT OUR OWN.” Yet do our lives reflect the “Crucified One?” Can the world and the people around us tell we have been purchased with a price? Can they really tell, “we are not our own?” I pass judgment on no one, I may be writing this just for me tonight. But could we be identified in substance and reality with the “Crucified One?”

Do our gatherings, our Sunday meetings reflect the “image of the Crucified One?” Pastors in America or in the nations, what will your message be to God’s people in the morning? Will it be about how God will bless you, provide for you, or how you must reach the lost at any cost? Will it be about all we are doing this week building out church vision?

Will we have 10 minutes of announcements to show how hard we are working for God? Will we have a message written to fit into the time frame the people want? Will be keep the number of songs to 7? Will we keep our service schedule and agenda no matter what, or will the presence of God be welcome to come and do as He pleases?

Dear men and women of God, are your people God entrusted to you growing in the true knowledge of God? Can they hear the voice of God themselves? Are they like Paul said to the Hebrews, “by this time you ought to be teachers, but you are mere babes, still needing the milk of the word to grow by.”

Do the people you pastor work for God as an employer and they are the employee waiting for the pay check to come? Or have you taught them the true cost of following Christ? Have we demonstrated to them what it means that “no greater love than this that a man lay down His life for his friends?

What does the church you Pastor look like from God’s perspective? What does your ministry look like from God’s perspective? Is what we are doing “for” God more important than “being with” God and knowing His heartbeat?” Dear Minister of the Gospel would we even ask? Just in a slight chance, could this blog be a word of the Lord to each of us in the USA? How about us fellow believers? Does this word apply to our lives as well?

The church in Laodicea boasted that “they were rich and in need of nothing.” I can not see a truer indictment against the church in America than found in that statement. A statement we here in America boast everyday, because of our “knowledge of God?” In all our meetings and conferences, books we write to sell, and all we do for God don’t they declare in our own minds, "we are rich and in need of nothing?

Dear one, I am trembling tonight as I write this, but would Jesus say to us, “but I say you are poor, blind, pitiable and naked I exhort you to buy gold tried by the fire and eye salve for your eyes so you may see, and white raiment to cover your nudity?”

I know this is an offensive word to us in America specially God’s leadership in this nation, because we can boast of so much and yet miss the whole picture. I weep tonight to see that the “best of all our works," and efforts as the church in America, our nations is falling more and more away from the ONE TRUE AND LIVING GOD.

The truth is that it is my fault and all of us in this nation. We have lost our first love and more. We lost the WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE! Our light in this nation is being buried more and more by our compromise and sin with the world in our own temple of God, and in the whole body of Christ as well. We just don’t see it yet, or perhaps we don't want to see it?

We think the life we are living for Christ is normal and right. This is the Gospel that was handed down to us by our fathers. We have no idea how far we strayed from belonging to the "Crucified One." We talk about signs, wonders and miracles following us, but at the present moment there is no power in our life to raise the dead, heal the sick or mountain moving faith to speak to a rock and water to come out, or can we even walk on water like Peter did?

We boast we are strong, rich and powerful, but the truth is we are poor, blind, pitiable and naked. It is so easy in our nation as a Christian to “get lost” in “everyday life.” The bible is true concerning our nation. “The cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, has CHOKED THE VERY WORD OF GOD out of us."

It is true for the church in America as found in Luke chapter 14: The Lord has called to us, “Behold, all things are now ready come to my feast." Yet the call to “come to Him” is falling on many deaf ears because of our love affair with the world and all it offers us. In Luke 14, the invited guest all made excuses of why “they could not come to the feast." They said, "I have to wait for my husband to come first. I have little league practice and have to take my son. Can I come later after I take care of my own life, I have to cut the grass?"

In this parable each one said to Jesus, “I can’t come now because, I have a wife, a job, a home, please have me excused. They refused to come when the time came for all things have been made ready. Are we doing the same thing now in our time of His divine calling and coming?

Jesus is standing on the outside of the church in Rev. Chapter 3 knocking at our door for intimacy with us, and desiring for us to sup with Him and His with us. Are we hearing His knock, and will we let Him in to our lives as the “Crucified one?”

In the classic Christian movie, “The Robe”, when Marcellus, the centurion receives forgiveness for crucifying Jesus, he says to Peter, “this day I enlist in His service. I pledge my life, my allegiance, my name, my fortune to His service so help me God as a Roman.” The rest of the movie is about his whole life being dedicated to Christ alone.

He loses his family as they reject him for following Christ. He loses His position in the army of the Emperor. He becomes an out law to everything His life was. His "new life in Christ" could now be seen as being identified as belonging to the “Crucified One, can ours here in America?” He eventually loses his life in the movie for his love of Jesus, and his unwillingness to deny Christ to save his life. He was like His master, the "Crucified One."

I know my family of believers here in the USA; this is so hard to swallow for us. It is for me as I am reflecting on my life, my commitment to Christ as well. Is my walk with Him, safe, soft and secure and neat, as in need of nothing? Do you know that Jesus said, “If you love your Father, Mother, Sister or Brother more than me, you can not be my disciple?”

Beloved Reader, why have we fallen for the “safe, secure and neat Gospel of blessing” over the true spiritual life of being and belonging to the “Crucified One?” Have we accepted that the Christianity as we understand it to be today is right because it was handed down to us that way? Have we believed “another gospel message?” I am afraid we truly have in this nation! These are questions we must ask of ourselves if we are going to be prepared to rule and reign with Him for a thousand years.

I am afraid we are not even close to being ready for that day, yet the day is coming more swiftly upon us than we could ever know. Jesus warned us not to “let this day come upon us as a thief and unawares.” Yet, I weep tonight because it is going to come upon the majority of believers in this nation that way without a “real and deep change of heart” where the Holy Spirit can bring true and lasting repentance birthed in genuine Godly sorrow. Without true and genuine repentance, I fear we will end up spewed out of the mouth of God as a Luke warm church.

Maybe I am just lost or you can call me crazy if you like, beloved ones of the Lord for writing to you this way. But I have read recently some of the prophetic website and all the prophecies about all the “wonderful things God is about to do for us.”

They speak of "new anointings" and "more blessings and power" to the church that is filled with every type of sin from the spirit of the world. James writes that we are "having an illicit love affair with the world and being "unfaithful wives" to God. James tells us, "that to be a friend of this world is to be an enemy of God."

What are we doing Ministers off the Gospel? Why are we bringing more and more of the things of the world into our churches and meetings to save the lost rather than preach about the "Crucified One" and the price of following Him?

The present day "named" prophets declare there is nothing wrong with us and God is going to bless us. Revival is coming, outpouring is coming, glory is coming. Even the “leaders of repute” and recognized in the Body of Christ as the "big boys and girls of ministry" are not calling us the church back to repentance in the power of conviction and real change. How can I say that? Where is the change of true repentance in our nation? Are we better today or worse?

The only message I hear is that we “must do more” or “work harder” or something along those lines. Where are the message of the Holiness of God and the true fear of the Lord in our churches?” One of the leaders of the largest church in the USA when asked about preaching about sin said, “I don’t have to, I have to teach the people to be happy and live a good life.”

We have abandoned Him, His Glory, His holiness and exchanged it for “working for God.” Beloved reader this is killing us and every new believer that joins our churches! We are teaching the new believers first, God wants to bless them and prosper them. We are teaching them the most important part of being a Christian is “working” for Him. We teach them to have a “job” for God is more important and should be first instead of a "deep abiding fellowship with Him in the Holy Spirit." We teach them to be faithful to clean the toilets and they will get power and position in the church!

Our present church system teaches them that this beautiful life in Christ is about building our church vision, or our own vision for God as: “We are going to take our city for God.” We are going to lead 1,000,000 souls for Christ. Yet “our vineyard we have not kept" as in the Song of Solomon Chapter 1.

I am so afraid that we have become so deceived at what Christ ask for us to do in the great commission by just winning the lost at any cost, instead of making true disciples who will follow Him in the nations. A disciple is to be exactly like His Master, but we preach the church instead of the "Crucified One." We have brought the great commission into our “own idea and understanding’ of what that means, that we lost the Christ, the “Crucified One” of the Great Commission. We have lost the Crucified One in our own hearts,JESUS, whom we are proclaiming. Where is that Crucified One in us? Are we known as the “Crucified Ones?”

Brother Henry, Jesus is raised from the dead; shouldn’t we consider us being the resurrected ones in stead of the Crucified Ones? That is a good question. Beloved, you can’t speak of resurrection until you are dead. So if you don’t identify with His DEATH FIRST, you can’t identify with his Resurrected life in power, dominion and authority either.

No I am afraid we are called by the world, “religious, fanatics, hypocrites” at this present hour. We are despised not for “truly following Christ,” but because of our hypocrisy, competition, strife and division amongst us, and living unholy lives not led by the Spirit of God.

Beloved, I can identify with Nehemiah when he wept and pleaded to the Lord about the condition of Jerusalem. We the “new Jerusalem being made” are not in much better shape in our time of restoration at this present moment. Our personal walls are burned down, our doorways unhinged. Our homes are scattered by the love of the world and compromise. Our temple has been destroyed and torn down so we are not even aware that we are the Temple of the Living God. Prayer has been removed from our temple and replaced by entertainment that has made us prisoners.

Shall I go on beloved? Do we have a “religion” that has a “form of Godliness” but deny the power of the “CRUCIFIED ONE?” Do we truly have his nature, character and purpose of Christ in us

Beloved family in the other nations, I pray this has not happened to you. I pray that we are not bringing our “American brand” of Gospel to you where you begin to measure your life by your “accomplishments for God,” or your “prosperity in God.” I pray that you have not lost the power of the "Crucified One,” helping you pick up your cross and follow Him as we have not done in our nation.

Please families of God in the nations, pray for America. Please beloved ones in America, could you be honest Pastor, Leader or every day saint of God? Where is the likeness of the "Crucified One" in our life? Are we a reflection of that beauty of a “crucified life,” and say like Paul, "but nevertheless I live, but not I, but Christ lives in me?"

If this blog is reaching your spirit, please pray this prayer with me for our nation and His church in America. This is our time to confess our sin and become broken and humble before the Lord. It is time for the church in America to obey the instructions of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 together! Let us start today here in America, and may our international family please stand in the gap with us and pray this simple prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, today I am looking right into the face of Jesus who loved me enough to die for me and take my place and punishment. When I reflect on my life have I made excuses to your call? I have said, I have a wife, a job, a house, please excuse me in answering your call to live a true life in you. I have been like the foolish virgins resting in the fact I said a sinner’s prayer and you saved me, but I have done nothing with my life of growing to know you and follow you, or I did it on my terms.

I too have said with our nation. I am wealthy and need of nothing but I did not recognize my true state before you. Please Jesus hear my cry. I don’t want to say I am sorry, I need you Holy Spirit to bring true and lasting conviction of mine and our sin with Godly sorrow so I can turn back to you where I belong. May the words in 2nd Chronicles 7:14 burn in me until you forgive our sins and heal our land.

Please Holy Spirit come and take your place to bring conviction of sin, righteousness and judgment to my life. Lead me out of the pit of this “religious Christianity” and bring me to the place of the Centurion. I pledge my life, my honor, my fame and fortune at your feet and truly enlist in your service." Thank you Jesus for hearing me and answering my prayer today.

Dear Beloved Readers,

I encourage each one of you to go to our homepage on www.flameoffire2007.org and on the left side there is a flashing sign under the Prophetic Alert sign with the new date of this word. Please read the word there on the left hand column and then click the finish bottom to complete it. It is called: The Winds from the North!

I was working on some things for the Lord when I got caught up in the Holy Spirit and He spoke this word to my heart. Please test it and discern it for yourselves. I think it is a word to prepare us for a new and deeper work of the Holy Spirit that is coming upon the whole church.

How we respond to this wind of God is going to qualify or disqualify us from our destiny as being over comers and a Bride for the Lord and our ability to rule and reign with Him forever and ever. So please don't miss what the Lord has for us in this hour.

Happy Reading precious reader!

Dear Beloved Readers,

I first want to thank all our readers and our supporters for helping us breakthrough financially to be able to have this conference. There was an intense battle against it coming forth in every way. The enemy of our soul hated this topic and what God is about to do on the earth. He fought us in every way trying to prevent this conference from happening, but he failed and God was victorious.

I must say that this was the least attended by guests conference we ever had. It was if God handpicked who He wanted to be here. Many were called, but few were chosen to come. The conference was an explosion of the "deep of God" in our midst. He revealed secrets and mysteries of the Kingdom and the end time plan, that we could hardly contain it.

Pastor/Bishop Abraham Omanyo was our International Guest Speaker from Malaba, Kenya. What a Word of God in His mouth for our time and this people. Bishop provoked us unto the Holiness of God, and what it meant to be truly belonging to the Lord. He also taught about the "spiritual preparation" needed to be ready for these last days. Bishop preached a powerful word about becoming a prophetic people as well that burned in our hearts.

Pastor Carl Jackson, Director of Teen Challenge of Tucson Arizona was our National guest speaker and this 73 year old prophet was burning with God's glory. He has discerned in the power of the Holy Spirit the "real spiritual state" of the church here in America with tears and intercession in his heart. This man and his wife our end time intercessors and watchman for our region and this nation.

Pastor Carl taught on the spiritual steps need to grow into maturity in God! He also spoke about Flame of Fire being a "Nehemiah" ministry of rebuilding the city of God. What a blessed time we had under the anointing upon his life in teaching and even more in prayer. God has raised him up as a mighty warrior for the church and the cry of passion for Christ and desperation in prayer ignited all those who attended these meetings.

Rev. Donna Falcone also was used as a mighty oracle of the Lord. Donna preached about the "manifestations of the Sons of God." She unfolded mysteries to us that were profound as well about our spiritual state and the "choices" we must make now to become the Bride of the Lord, and over-comers in His kingdom. Her analogies burned in the hearts in reality provoking us all to grow up into the head Jesus Christ.

I was blessed to really teach about the the 6th and 7th day of Mankind and the 2nd and third day of the church. The Lord allowed me to reveal the overlapping of the days, the spiritual preparation that is happening in the Lord at this present moment. The Lord had me teach how to cooperate with God even in the fire to be brought forth like Gold and Silver. I was also by the grace of God to teach even deeper at the Miracle of the Wedding at Canaan and then expound on the Rev. 12 The man-child arises and why.

This was the deepest prophetic conference in God we ever had. So much meat and understanding of these last days came forth to help us prepare for our destiny to rule and reign with Him forever and ever.

Sadly, not many came. I believe in Colorado the hears of the Northern area are very hard and the more the prophetic voice comes to the region the harder their hearts are becoming. This is one region of our nation that is really "rejecting" the Voice of the Forerunner that is preparing a way for the Lord's return. God must break the religious, prideful spirit that is entrenched in the area, and He will.

Our prayer times in the morning were incredible and effective. I believe we Will see such a spiritual turn around soon for the Greeley area and the walls of division trampled down. God sent us to Greeley to pray and lift up the hands of every Pastor in that region. We are for them and not against them. We are praying God would reveal Himself to each Pastor as the Consuming Fire He is and that His flame will burn in every part of His body, His church!

I am believing God is about to breakthrough this region and Pastors will start to see the bigger picture of the "whole Body" not just "their part of the Body." The spirit of individualism and competition must come down for the Lord to come with a mighty visitation of His Spirit.

I pray any Pastor in the Greeley area that read this to ask yourself a question. What are you afraid of if God tour down our structures to make us His? What if you can't keep our little part for ourselves and our own ministry? What if God forces us to work, live and breath together as a whole Body of Christ? What will we do then? Who will be the leader? Who will get tithes first? Who will be in charge of a city of God, instead of a church for God?

These are questions God began to answer in our conference. Soon the conference will be available to buy in MP3 size or CD. The Cd's take quite a bit longer, so be patient with us in getting these to you.

If you are still hungry for more of God, then plan to come to Tucson Arizona for a weekend of events called Catch the Fire. Bishop Omanyo will be back to minister the love and power of God to us, so if you can come don't miss it no matter where you are in the world. God will make a gift of you, if you choose to humble yourself now before the Lord and cry out for His mercy, forgiveness and love. Don't miss your moment! Write to Rev. Brad from the website to get all the information about this time together.

God bless and keep each one of you on course, on target and on fire for Him

Pastor Henry
