ALERT! ALERT! [A WARNING and call to fasting prayer]

NOTE: HERE'S ONE OF MANY SUCH [this from Meri Burlingame's Apostles and Prophets "AP" list--(THEAPList-owner@yahoogroups.com)

THERE HAVE BEEN SOOOOO MANY SUCH the last few years, I think most of us on such lists just thought and felt--YEAH, IT'S TRUE. IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT CAN WE DO BUT PRAY. So, pray we did and do. It would have been worse, had we not. ENORMOUSLY MORE PRAYER IS CLEARLY NEEDED. Please consider joining such prayers and possibly even fasting as The Lord might lead you to do.

I find this rather authentic as it's similar to the ways God has commonly worked with me and with most people I know who are very close to Him.

I also find this more authentic and it feels more fitting because it's mostly a personal narrative of a personal experience. Even some of the more reliable prophet types can be overly caught up in their own gifting and too easily contaminate the message with their own noise. Besides, their pride is hazardous of itself.

But this is just telling it like it was for the person involved. You can rail and argue with their theology. But this was their personal experience. You may construe them as fit for the funny farm or of unusual gifting. But it's their experience. There can be many interpretations of one's own and others' experiences. But the person with an experience is rarely at the mercy of someone with merely an argument.

God does nothing except he first reveal it to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

Over two years ago the Lord kept showing me terrorists and he was saying "terrorists are in the country—pray against terrorism". I told some of the church members and prayed. On the 4th of July of 2001 I was in prayer and I saw this real tall straight building in New York.

I didn't recognize what building it was. I knew it wasn't made like the Empire State Building but it was real tall. I asked someone what building it could be and she didn't know for sure. I looked on the net at pictures of different tall buildings in New York and then I got preoccupied with something else and never got back to finding out what God was saying concerning this building.

When the tragedy happened in New York I looked and there was that tall building and I know that God, no matter what the situation, is always showing his people about it ahead of time.

On the night of the attack I was sitting, just thinking and all of a sudden it dawned on me that I was seeing another building. This one was not very tall, but was real big and wide. It had windows all across the front and I could see the lights on the inside. There were people out on the sidewalks and in the yard and they were looking back at the building in shock and disbelief—kind of like the people were looking back at the WTC that day.

I started praying because I didn't want to fail to understand all the Lord was saying concerning this. The next day I saw another building in my vision. The Lord called it a skyscraper. It was very tall and had a box around the top. I didn't know what either of these buildings were, but I kept praying that the Lord would bring it all out.

On the morning of September 17th, about 3:00 a.m., the Lord woke me up and I could tell that He was trying to tell me something. As I was worshipping and meditating, all of a sudden, I saw the City of New York. Then I saw it on fire and the Lord said, the terrorists didn't do nearly what they wanted to or planned to do. They really wanted the whole city burning and not only that city, they have plans for several U.S. cities. I saw Washington D.C., Chicago, Houston, cities in California, Arizona, Tennessee and more.

They want to strike every city that have organizations, companies or agencies that supplies to or benefits the U.S. in a major way. Different agencies are in danger.

They have targeted out great leaders of the country, not only in the political arena, but those in `key' positions of authority in places that is of significance to the operation, stability and function of America. (He showed me faces that I won't name). They figure that if they can get rid of the experienced leaders and less knowledgeable ones have to take their places, it would be easier for enemies to take over.

There are a lot of terrorists still in this country. I saw them like big weapons. The bodies of the terrorists themselves are lethal weapons. Big missiles. They are still intending to commit more acts of terror. They still destructive capabilities. They have chemical warfare abilities even right now. They have like: Plan A, Plan B, Plan C… They want to contaminate our BLOOD supply.

We pray and applaud all who's helping in the natural realm, but they can't fix it. The task of weeding them all out and bringing them to justice before they do more damage is too big for humans alone. Only the Lord of Hosts can handle this. The church is the one who has the power to break through the organization of Satan and his cohorts in the heavenlies and on the earth.

Our intercession, warfare and standing in the gap is and will fully eject those who would do us harm from their hiding places and bring forth God's hand of mercy upon this great nation. The word of the Lord says in 2 Chron 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

David talked about humbling his soul with fasting. Fasting adds so much more power to prayer. The Holy Father told me that this is a time for FASTING and PRAYER. He's calling upon His people to deny ourselves and He will show His handiwork in our country and in other places subjected to this terror.

We should realize more and more th `state of affairs' that Israel lives in and pray for their peace. We are to bombard heaven and get things done in the spirit realm so that our natural leaders can get it accomplished in the earthly realm.

Esther led the Lord's people through a 3 day and 3 night fast in her day when her country was in trouble and the enemy was overthrown. If we, the Body of Christ would do some QUALITY repenting, fasting and praying (at least 2 days and nights and if possible three), the plans and plots of the wicked will be overthrown and God will certainly heal the land. The time is NOW. As everyone finds out what they should do and do it-we will see the glory of God.

I HOPE many will consider the announcement of the additional warnings as well as the call to prayer and fasting.

I strongly believe that the spiritual battles are the MOST real ones and where the most effective business is transacted. . . . by humble people alone in their prayer closets and prayer walks as well as in groups.

PORK: Secret Weapon Against Terrorism

Islamic terrorists have been taught to believe that heaven and frisky virgins await them for dying in their unholy actions.
Courage has NOTHING to do with it.

The solution?

These so-called super-fighters have a Kryptonite vulnerability, an Achilles Heel.

They will fight like beasts for martyrdom, but martyrdom will be DENIED if...

...they are contaminated with the blood and flesh of the swine.

Every US military agent must be known to coat their bullets and missiles with pig blood & guts.

Every terrorist killed in the entire world must be known to await burial in pigsh*t.

Every pilot, flight attendant, passenger should carry pepper-like pork spray to coat a would-be suicide skyjacker. Without paradise, why die?

At every airline gate, each passenger must be required to eat a meal of BACON before being allowed to board any airplane.

You refuse - you don't board! Simpler and more cost-effective than expensive, less-than-foolproof security devices - and sure to smoke out the potential terrorist every time.

Use their own beloved Koran, the source of their strength, against them, and this is OVER!

SOME WONDERFUL IDEAS.

I don't think forcing people to eat something against their religion would fly in our culture as a screening tool in our so called free society. But a lot of your ideas sound pretty workable to me!

I do think, however, that many of them would be rabid enough to even die and risk hell in behalf of their loved ones. Far fewer, to be sure, but probably some.

And, I don't think the plane thing is by any means the sum total of their strategies and methods. I think it's but one of many. The other doc I recently posted cited a conviction that they were going to use chemical warfare soonish or maybe next or some such. I've certainly expected that a long time. . . as well as biological . . . and within less than 8 and probably less than 5 years--probably atomic on several U.S. cities.

Given the extremes they are going to go to, it would take some real powerful Koran stuff to deter them. Most people of that ilk just rationalize it differently under a different set of verses. Kind of like, don't bother confusing them with facts, their minds are self-destructively and other destructively made up. They have a fantasy of earned heaven and little is going to dissuade them of their fantasy.

It's a bit of human nature gone amuck. Most of us think we've earned lot of bennies, rewards, grace, etc. while the others--the schmucks in the world deserve far less. Rabid religionists seem to take that thread of human arrogance to galactic proportions well beyond delusions of grandeur. Once they do, I'm not sure how many even facts even from their own 'bible' would adjust their reality constructions much.

No, not quantity. IF this was the Lord's doing to 'wake up' sinful America, it seems that He would be expecting those who push the sins to wake up and realize the error of their ways and turn to Him, in repentance and in heart. And that would have to be within His will, because He states clearly that He wishes none to perish. (and I'm NOT referring to just the earthly life, but to the Eternal one)

I suspect the pastor is leading his congregation at a specific time. You could contact him. I'll send you his email privately. . . . after I get some sleep. Please remind me if I forget.

But my impression is that any is very good and according to the timing God leads you into. I don't think this pastor is a real legalistic one. I think God wants our heart attitude and to see it demonstrated in real action of such prayer and fasting. I don't think a lot of petty details will be real crucial even to God.

If we were part of the same congregation, maybe it would be important, but I don't think all across the net it's that crucial. The unity of heart, mind and spirit is quite powerful in and of itself. . . . just my opinion.

Blessed by your question.
God's best to you.

I believe the critical mass is something along the lines of what God was interested in when he told Abraham? Lot? I forget, that He'd save the city if 10 righteous people were found in it. I don't think they needed to be found in the same house or small group etc.

God is interested in heart attitudes and sacrificial servant-hearted service acted out earnestly in relationships and daily life. I think He is quite capable of judging if the critical mass has reached sufficient proportions for His Love to be allowed to insure that His justice is adjusted in timing or severity of reaping what we've sown; discipline etc.

That reminds me. I'm praying Bush doesn't talk about wanting or the U.S. wanting or needing justice. We don't want anything close to justice. We'd be worse than on our faces in sackcloth and ashes if we thought we'd be getting a fraction of the justice we deserve in this land. . . . if only for our arrogance alone, not to mention the greed, infantacide, selfishness, violence, abuse of one another and poor people in various places, abuse of native Americans, daily giving God the finger in millions of rebellious, independent lives for decades etc. etc. etc. Justice we don't need.

We need mercy in infinite proportions. We might consider where we need to extend it privately and corporately. I think prayers along those lines in all of this would be very wise and helpful.

We know from Scripture that there is coming a time ahead when people will have miracles in their face repeatedly and still curse God and die a horrible sin-laden death.

But many will be saved--even jerked from the jaws of hell so to speak--"The gates of hell shall not stand against The Church."

I think we are called to do what we can do by His Grace and trust Him with the results and the details.

He can be very particular--even fastitidous, picky in some senses a perfectionist at times in some situations over some details--touching the Ark of the Covenant etc.

But He's NOT prissy and He's NOT petty.

A heart attitude of Love is very key and impressive with Him. Sacrificial actions out of a Loving heart go a long way with Him in any circumstance. . . . my experience AND my opinion.

LOL about We don't want anything close to justice and praying that Bush isn't wanting to see justice served. I agree and laugh about it because that would be like praying and asking the Lord to give you 'patience'. Thank you Jesus, I HAVE enough patience!

Many thanks for the message/reminder about God not being picky/prissy, and that the heart's intent is what He looks for. I'll accept that as Him speaking to me, because it answered a question/worry. In times like this, that spirit of 'overwhelm' steps in. And it will remind 'you' of the perfect, holy God, who expects His 'kids' to be like Him, and the kid KNOWS how imperfect they are. (sigh)
