“And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” (Luke 19:40)

I pray that all of you who are reading this message have also received a prior letter in which we proclaimed a 21 day fast that we will conclude by the grace of God on the 30th of this month. (November) If some of you have not received it, please let us know and we will gladly send it to you being that it contains a brief report regarding the results of the election in the USA, the new president-elect, the critical situation, in Israel, the economic crisis, and other important prophetic issues.

Today is the 16th day of our fast, and we expect to complete it with God’s help, but we can and will not let down our guard, because it is necessary to continue seeking the Lord with humility, prayer and fasting. The times we are living in demand it.

I have become aware that many of our readers struggle to read long articles, nevertheless it is important to write and alert God’s people in regards to what the Spirit is indicating and showing us. We are living in incredible prophetic times, but the most amazing and incredible thing is that we as God’s people cannot rise to the occasion and respond as we should. That is why it is important that my brothers receive information that connects and reconciles what is happening in our immediate surroundings, the church, our country, in Israel and around the world with what is written in the Word of God.

I will attempt to write in a simple and easy to understand format; in a manner that all can understand. I believe that is the reason the Lord explains his strategy and method of communicating with His people through the prophet Isaiah. “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept: line upon line, line upon line: here a little, and there a little…will he speak to this people.” (Isaiah 28:10, 11) The Lord is saying here, that he will give His message to His people, piece by piece, morsel by morsel so that they can understand, chew and digest it.

We will attempt to follow this pattern with Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, Zechariah, Mathew, Luke’s and finally John’s writings in the Revelation.

We will explain the correct focus and manner of studying biblical prophecy by applying these principles to the study of important prophecy subjects such as; Daniel’s 70 weeks, the truth about the “rapture”, the great tribulation, Israel in prophecy, identifying the Beast and the image of the Beast, and other pertinent prophetic topics.

If we study these subjects correctly as the Word of God teaches through the prophet Daniel, it will bring great changes in us; God’s people. It will radically change our mentality, our hearts and attitudes in our relationship with God and with each other. It must.

In regards to the heading of this writing, it is precisely what is occurring today. “The stones”, not so much the preachers, but news analysts, journalists and secular leaders in the world of finances are the ones crying out the realities and dangers facing our country and the world today. One of these men made an incredibly detailed and accurate prognosis of the current economic crisis in a series of round table discussions and debates with other “financial experts” in the years 2004 and 2006. They literally mocked his warnings. They, one after another said; “everything’s going to pan out and be all right.” Needless to say, they were utterly wrong.

In other words, we are going to be warned and alerted one way or another in regards to the tribulation and extremely difficult times that are coming upon this nation and the world. We should not be surprised that God would use journalists, news analysts and financial leaders to warn the world and God’s people themselves. Did He not use a donkey to speak to Balaam the foolish and greedy prophet? If he used a donkey, is he not able to use unredeemed men? The answer is obvious. Isn’t it written? “… if these (us) shall hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”

-Window of Opportunity-
We have today, a window of opportunity. This very brief opportunity encompasses a short period of time from today until January 20th. Why do we say this? Come January 20, 2009 there will be a shift or a change in times from one time phase to another as there occurs a changing of the guard and Obama Hussein Barrack assumes the presidency of the United States of America. We will see great changes that will continue shaking the very foundations of this nation. We have a little more than a month and a half to take action in the spiritual realm before the shift from one time phase to another.

It is highly possible that when the new administration assumes power there will be an apparent bettering of things, just as we are now enjoying lower gasoline prices, but this is all temporary. What happens is that we will be tempted to let down our guard, and cease to be on high spiritual alert. The pull and urge to experience comfort and happiness is powerful indeed but we must fight that urge with all our might. Somebody has to rise to the occasion! Thank God for a faithful remnant that has stood fast in every generation; godly men and women that have not been swallowed up by the rationale and values of this fallen world system!

Is it possible that in the near future, there be a shortage of not only jobs, credit and gasoline but also food shortages? Will this cause riots and civil disorders by desperate people causing the government to declare martial law? This sounds like fear mongering and ridiculously impossible because it has never happened in modern America. Are we better then other nations? Of course we aren’t. But what about the church here in America, someone might ask? If we walk in the fear of the Lord and in fellowship one with another, we have nothing to fear. Is it not written? God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” (Psalm 46:1, 2)

-New Proclamation-

Do you hear the sound of the trumpet my brother? Is your spirit being stirred? It is the voice of God calling his own to repentance, humility, consecration and reconciliation.

We declare and proclaim in the Name of the Lord all the month of December a month of prayer, brokenness, calling out, and fasting on behalf of our families, Israel, the church in America and around the world. “But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (I Peter 4:7, 8)
