What the WORD
OF GOD says: Isaiah 58:1-14 (GW)
1 Cry aloud! Don't
hold back! Raise your voice like a ram's horn. Tell my
people about their rebellion and the descendants of Jacob about their sins.
2 They look for me
every day and want to know my ways. They act as if they were
a nation that has done what is right and as if they haven't
disregarded God's judgment {on them}. They ask me for just
decrees. They want God to be near them.
3 Why have we
fasted if you are not aware of it? Why have we inflicted pain
on ourselves if you don't pay attention? Don't you see that
on the days you fast, you do what you want to do? You mistreat
all your workers.
4 Don't you see
that when you fast, you quarrel and fight and beat your workers? The
way you fast today keeps you from being heard in heaven.
5 Is this
the kind of fasting I have chosen? Should people humble themselves
for {only} a day? Is fasting just bowing your head like a cattail and
making your bed from sackcloth and ashes? Is this what you call
fasting? Is this an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 This
is the kind of fasting I have chosen: Loosen the chains of
wickedness, untie the straps of the yoke, let the oppressed go free,
and break every yoke.
7 Share
your food with the hungry, take the poor and homeless into your
house, and cover them with clothes when you see {them} naked. Don't
refuse to help your relatives.
8 Then
your light will break through like the dawn, and you will heal
quickly. Your righteousness will go ahead of you, and the glory of
the Lord will guard you from behind.
9 Then
you will call, and the Lord will answer. You will cry for help, and
he will say, “Here I am!” Get rid of that yoke. Don't
point your finger and say wicked things.
10
If you give some of your own food to
{feed} those who are hungry and to satisfy {the needs of} those who
are humble, then your light will rise in the dark, and your darkness
will become as bright as the noonday sun.
11 The Lord will
continually guide you and satisfy you even in sun-baked places. He
will strengthen your bones. You will become like a watered garden
and like a spring whose water does not stop flowing.
12 Your people
will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the foundations of past generations.
You will be called the Rebuilder of Broken Walls and the Restorer of
Streets Where People Live.
13
If you stop trampling on the day of worship
and doing as you please on my holy day, if
you call the day of worship a delight and
the Lord's holy day honorable, if you
honor it by not going your own way, by not going out when you
want, and by not talking idly,
14 then
you will find joy in the Lord. I
will make you ride on the heights of the earth. I will feed you with
the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob.
The Lord has spoken.
Open Letter
Regarding "The Call" in Nashville on 07/07/07
Brethren, it's
with great fear and trembling that I say these things. It's only
because of my desire to obey the Lord God Almighty and to warn the Body.
I'm recording this
to warn the Body about “The Call” in Nashville, Tennessee
on July 7, 2007. I believe that you can find God anywhere, that
He will meet you where you are and that He will honor those who seek
Him honestly. But this event is not pure. It is not holy
and some of the people behind this thing are the most mangled, most
deluded, most spiritually oppressed, most self-driven people in all
of charismatic Christianity.
I urge you to go
to my page and listen to the Red Dragon audio books or get on the
website and read the book there. Listen to my audios about the
International House of Prayer and Mike Bickle and some of the other
people behind “The Call”.
Please, God DOES
NOT want another get-together where a bunch of these mega leaders
full of self stand up front and lead cheers. He doesn't even want
their prayers. He has cursed them and everything they touch. The
spirit of antichrist has taken over far more of our churches and
ministries than anyone realizes and it is a curse from God because we
have gone our own way and set men over us. This is a STRONG
DELUSION from the Throne of God and brings with it a spirit of pride
and self and lust and a love of money and all kinds of nasty things.
It's entirely
possible that God might tell you to go to “The Call”.
I have no doubt that He will try to have some that are truly His be
there to keep it from getting completely out of hand. But make
no mistake, the forces of darkness are DEEPLY entrenched already in
this and in the people behind it. I do not say this lightly. I
know that it will bring condemnation and reproach. But I also
know what I have seen and I know that the International House of
Prayer in Kansas City is one of the most spiritually oppressed,
afflicted, cursed places on the planet. And everyone that touches it
gets infected by it. It is one of the most subtle, devious,
persistent, prideful oppressions around. Mike Bickle was given a HUGE
job to do. A lot was riding on it. But he made it about him and his
prophets and it spun out of control. And lots of the heresy and crazy
manifestation-seeking that has run rampant in the last twenty years
can be traced back to Kansas City in the 1980's when what God wanted
to do here imploded. If God gives you a big job to do and you
make it about YOU, He is going to turn you over to some REALLY nasty stuff.
God wants to bring
revival. And God wants prayer and fasting and repentance. And I'm
sure SOME of the prayers offered at “The Call” will get
through, but most will bounce off of the brass over the heads of the
leadership involved in this event. God doesn't want a network
of super-apostles that rule the world autocratically. God wants FULLY
AUTONOMOUS city churches under LOCAL eldership.
Don't spend the
day at a conference with 100,000 others listening to music and
repenting for all the sinners “out there”. GO!!
GO and feed the hungry and clothe the naked and tell them about
Jesus! GO! Go and BE a prayer. Go and bring forth fruit in
keeping with repentance. GO! Go and BE Jesus in your OWN city!
We're not waiting
for the Rain to fall. HE is waiting for US to stop being lukewarm and
stagnant and repent personally and then start pouring out the endless
springs of Living Water that He ALREADY put into each one of
us!! We're not waiting on HIM. HE is waiting on US!!
We don't have to ASK Him to pour out His rain. We just need to GO
and pour out His rain!! Stop asking for something you already
have and GO!! Go BE Jesus!
In Kansas City on
7/7/07 we are having a free event in Volker Park to reach into low
income neighborhoods to pray for individuals, to break the yokes of
oppression, to feed the hungry. We're GOING! That is what He
wants us to be doing on His holy day. If you're from Kansas
City, you're invited to come and BE Jesus to our city and to repent
that we haven't been doing this all along. To pray that God would
move on Kansas City and forgive us and stay His righteous wrath for
all the things we've built on our own power. If you're not from
Kansas City, then GO!! Do it in your own town! You don't have
authority in Nashville unless you are FROM Nashville. You need
to convert the altar of Baal in your OWN backyard back the worship of
God before you go trying to take on the world. You don't have
authority to pray for America to change until YOUR TOWN changes!
And if it hasn't then it's YOUR FAULT!
There is a
Lampstand burning in Kansas City. The Kansas City revival started and
it started two years ago and it started in Liberty, Missouri.
And it doesn't look AT ALL like what people thought it would. And it
didn't start with Mike Bickle. He missed his chance, as did dozens of
people before and after him. If you don't obey God, if you
don't invest wisely what He has given you, then even the little you
have will be taken from you and given to another.
I'm from Kansas
City. I was called to serve Kansas City. I have dealt with the Red
Dragon over IHOP a lot. I know how nasty and mean and bloodthirsty it
is. I know how fanatically loyal the people trapped inside that
spirit of antichrist can be. I expect MASSIVE resistance for daring
to say these things. But I'm not alone. MANY have already seen
that the overall fruit of that ministry is VERY bad. If you're
one of them, if you're already free and seeing straight, if you were
never under it but know something is wrong – I'm begging you,
seek the Lord. Visit our site. Learn what God REALLY wants for
the cities. Ask the Lord if there is a Lampstand burning in Liberty.
Ask the Lord what that means.
If you do go to
“The Call” put on ALL your armor. Pray that the Lord
would let you hear ONLY TRUTH. Pray that you would receive ONLY
what Jesus wants for you and nothing but. DO NOT think that
this is friendly territory. This is a war zone and it is a soup of
soul ties and oppressions and delusions. Slam all your doors
shut and put on your armor and seek HIS FACE only! Do not
go because friends are going or it might be fun or whatever. ONLY go
if the Lord God Almighty commands you to and even then go in HIS
power and protection and not your own. It is NOT safe. Do not
obey MAN. Obey God only.
I have held back
saying these things for a long time. It has to be said in love. It
has to be because it's urgent. It has to be because the Body is in
danger. I don't do this lightly or without prayer and fasting and
confirmations. I don't care what attacks come, I'm not backing down.
I don't care what “fruit” you think you see from this event
in the natural. There are lots of prosperous mega-churches that put
on a good show and God is FURIOUS with them and has turned them over
to all kinds of horrifying things.
Pray REALLY hard.
I'm not telling you not to go. I'm telling you that it's a war zone.
If God tells you to go, then go, but don't go in blindly and without
full armor and lots of discernment.
I accept personal
responsibility for this word and any damage done to the Body of
Christ if it isn't pure.
This
site is meant to be just
a plain, direct reporting of how miserably, horribly, devastatingly
badly we
- the
Christians in
the West - have
mismanaged the massive gifts which God has entrusted to
us. Maybe we can change
directions if we try something different. Maybe if we started
listening to God really well and obeying radically, no matter what
the cost. Yeah, that might work.
Although
we're perfectly capable of it - we're
not trying to impress you with our fancy web design, marketing savvy
and slick Madison Avenue ad techniques. Truth is Truth.
Your heart knows the difference.
