BLUEPRINT FOR REVIVAL
By Prophetess D
A VISION FOR REVIVAL FOR CHURCHES & the
proper use of musicians and singers.
God gave me the vision and then gave me the
scripture Habakkuk 2:2 “Write the vision.
Make it plain on tables.”
There are several elements to this vision: 24
hour worship, consecration of musicians
and singers (and everyone else too) from sin
& drugs & other openings for
demonic oppression, removal of amplification and open doors, evangelism of
musicians and singers and praying for the baptism of the Holy Spirit;
Dissociating from the atheistic mental health system & their toxic drugs.
REPENTANCE FROM SIN IS CRITICAL.
A KEY POINT TO REVIVAL IS
THAT REPENTANCE leads to REVIVAL.
God often waits to pour out his spirit on us after we repent of sin.
This is true for churches that preach
error in doctrine; when they repent, God pours out his spirit. The
same is true on an individual level.
When each of us repents then the spirit comes. Sometimes it is the
Spirit’s presence through the intercession
of someone else that leads someone to repent.
Fasting is a key element to
repentance The Jews fast on the day of Atonement, Yom Kippur,
to receive forgiveness for sins. Fasting is a way of putting one’s
flesh desires in subjection to the Spirit, to God,
and makes one more sensitive to the Spirit of God. People fast to
hear from God, to get direction from God,
to repent for sin and get forgiveness from God.
There are many kinds of fasts; 1 day, 3 days, l0 days, 20 days, 40
days. Jesus fasted with no food or water
for 40 days. So did Moses. Ther e are complete fasts of no food or water, just water,
just liquids, just vegetables.
An Esther fast is a 3 days fast of no food or water. A Daniel fast is
just vegetables.
Doctors think one cannot fast for more than 3 days with no water
without doing kidney damage.
But they are wrong; with God all things are possible. Jesus said
so. I have fasted with no food or water
for longer and had no trouble.
Revivals have always followed seasons of prayer and fasting. Every
great revival was birthed this way.
Charles Finney in his book ON REVIVAL talks about this.
The book REESE HOWELLS, INTERCESSOR,,is
a story of a man who prayed with others for
victory for Britain against Germany in WWII. Howells ate very little, and avoided
caffeine.
The Kingdom of God is not
meat and drink, but righteousness, joy, peace in the
Holy Ghost.” Romans 14:17.
The Power of Intercession - PEACE IN
IRELAND - TIKKUN OLAM
-
Healing the World
I had in April of ‘98 a powerful experience of
being used by God as an intercessor.
I was playing the piano and singing in
tongues, which is a private prayer language
given by God, for 8 hours. I was playing in a
sanctuary at Boston Univ. used
by Catholics and Protestants. I heard myself
sing “shalom” which means peace in
Hebrew, many times. I had no idea what God was
doing, but I could feel the power
of the Holy Spirit on me. Sometime during this event
a man came in and listened,
then came over and said to me, “Thank you. I
feel like I can go home now.” I asked
where he was from and he said “Ireland”. The
next day, the Boston Globe front
page said “Peace in Ireland’. They had just
signed the Good Friday Peace Accords.
I asked God, “Did you use me to pray for that?”,
and the Holy Spirit fell on me with
power, which meant “yes!”
Being used by God for this type of work is
important work. It requires that
a person be sanctified – no sin, no drugs, such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, pot.
Etc or psych meds which would contaminate the
Holy Spirit since drugs are an opening
for unclean spirits. If there is spiritual
contamination, it transmits into whatever you’re
praying
into. That’s no good. One must be pure so only the Holy Spirit is invoked
and transmitted.
Any time musicians play or sing, whatever is in
or around them spiritually gets
transmitted to their listeners or the target of
their prayers. This is true for all people
praying as well, or even talking. Spirits jump
around thru contact, both physical
and verbal. God needs musicians or praying
people to do this kind of work. It is
sacred and a blessing to be used this way. When
we pray this way we are prophesying
things into existence by the power of the Holy
Spirit. It is an example of how God
wants to use musicians to pray for healing and
peace in the world.
Everyone who is born again, filled with the Holy
Spirit can pray and sing in tongues.
You need to repent of your sins, accept Jesus as
Saviour and Lord, ask to be filled
with the Holy Spirit (which testifies to Jesus
as Messiah).
Jesus said “unless ye beborn
of water and of the spirit, ye will not see the kingdom of Heaven.”
John 3:3
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He
gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believeth on him would not perish but
have everlasting life.”
John 1:1:“In the beginning was the word, and the
word was with God and the word was
God.”
John 1:14: “And the word was made flesh and
dwelt among us and we beheld his
glory as of the only begotten of the father full
of grace and truth.”
John 1:17: “The law came by Moses, but grace and
truth come by Jesus Christ.”
1. 24-Hour Worship
I believe that it is God’s intent for churches
today to have continual prayer (24 hour
prayer ) which invokes his Spirit so that His
spirit will dwell in church buildings
and then when anyone comes in, they will
immediately be touched by the presence
of God. This is what happened to me in that
Sephardic synagogue in Jerusalem.
God brought me to Jerusalem to experience this
so I could testify to this vision; He
wants consecrated buildings, not just people.
The Christians sometimes tell me that
at this time, WE are supposed to be the temple
of the Holy Spirit, not the buildings.
But they are wrong. The New Testament was built
on the Old, not to totally supercede
it but to add to it. Why would He talk about
consecrated buildings in the
New Testament when it was already written about
in the Old? Both are true. Now
He wants to live in us as temples of the Holy
Spirit, but He also will bless buildings
where there is prayer.
Psalm 134 says “Bless you the Lord, all you
servants of the Lord, which by
night stand in the house of the lord.”
In the Old Testament the Levites who were
the worshippers lived in the temples
and were free from other work because they
did this work day and night
1 Cr 9:33.
In the New Testament, Luke Chap. 2 talks
about Anna the Prophetess, who
stayed in the temple and didn’t leave,
doing fasting and prayers.
How I came to these scriptures is evidence that
the Holy Spirit was leading me toward
this vision (to be explained shortly).
My vision for 24 hour worship is something that
in the last couple years is starting
to be reinstituted in a few churches around the
country. I have been talking about
it for the past 10 years. There is a church in
Colorado Springs, that is now doing it.
There is a man in Kansas City, who used to be
called one of the Kansas City
Prophets by the Vineyard Christian Fellowship, a
charismatic non-denominational
church that is around the country, who has also
instituted a 24 hour prayer church
(Mike Bickel - the International House of Prayer
in Kansas City (IHOP) There are
now other IHOPs in other cities; Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo, and more) so I am
not alone in my vision; the fact that others are
also doing it is a confirmation that
what I have been talking about IS of God and I
am also in a prophetic role in the
Church as a whole. The bible says that there are
different offices in the church. In
1 Corinthians 12:28: “In the church God has appointed first of all
apostles, second
prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having
gifts of healing,
those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and
those speaking in
different kinds of tongues.” Other churches
have done this periodically over the
years and enjoyed revival. The United
Pentecostal Church has done it.
My vision came out of my experience of
living in a church for 2 years, worshipping
and praying at night. Subsequent to that experience, God released certain
scriptures to me that indicated there was a
vision He wanted me to share for
this time. God works in strange ways to
communicate; often using wierd coincidences.
Don Gossett, a Christian minister and author of
a wonderful book on the
power of words and faith, entitled What You Say Is What You Get quotes a
friend
Sam Feldman “Coincidences are the handiwork of
God”.
Here are two examples of my own:
I shared my testimony one night of playing in
the church all night with another
Christian woman. She went home and opened her
bible randomly to Psalm 134;
“Praise the Lord, all you servants of the
Lord who minister by night in the
house of the Lord.”
This was God’s way of confirming that what I had
been talking about was from Him.
Months later, I was travelling around the
country. I had had the intuition that in the
Old Testament times, the Levites, some of whom
were musicians and singers (others
were porters in the temple and judges) were
doing worship 24 hours. I had
never found a scripture to support this, and had
asked rabbis who knew of nothing
either. As I was traveling, all of a sudden
there was a sign that said “Exit 134”-and
immediately after that, I heard “Psalm 134” in
my mind. I remembered the scripture.
I immediately looked it up in the bible I had
with me, and found a cross reference
to another scripture that I had never seen
before. (Not all bibles have cross
references). The other scripture was 1
Chronicles 9:33 which says “and these are the
singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites who
remaining in the chambers were
free: for they were employed in that work day
and night.” In other words, they lived
in the temples and worshiped day and night.
After living in the church for 2 years I ended
up, a while later, living in a synagogue
all fall and winter, playing the piano there at
night. One night the spirit reminded
me of Anna the prophetess. This was a reference
to the book of Luke ch 2, New
Testament. Anna was a woman who, it says,
“departed not from the temple but
served God with fastings
and prayers night and day.” Luke 2:37 It was warm and
there was no snow that entire fall and winter.
The city was blessed because of my
being “on duty” - one watchman . He had given me
2 scriptures in prayer - Ezekiel
3 and 33, calling him a “watchman” to the house
of Israel.
2.
Consecration of the Musicians and Singers and all Believers who
worship
(which is everyone)
First, repent of all sin. Unrepentant sin
is an opening for unclean spirits.
Next, avoid all drugs, which are openings
for unclean spirits.
The scripture in the Old Testament in Leviticus
tells us about how God did not
want his priests to be under the influence of
alcohol when they ministered in the
temple. This is another example of a principle
in the Old Testament which is true
for us now; He does not want us to be under the
influence of any drugs when we
minister to others or to Him. Those influences
bring other spirits into the worship
and can transmit to others, which is not what
God wants. We need to be holy so
that only God’s Holy Spirit transmits when we
pray or worship and minister to
each other. The New Testament says “Be ye holy
as I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16.
This includes cigarettes as well as alcohol, and
any kind of psychiatric drug. It also includes
caffeine, which includes coffee and tea and
sodas with caffeine. I have felt
unclean spirits around me, a fogginess around me
when friends of mine drank coffee
or smoked and then prayed with me. Worship
leaders have to be consecrated.
It is an important responsibility.
I knew someone who was on the worship team at
church who was on lithium.
Every
time she was singing, I felt a spirit of confus—
around me. She was in a fog from the lithium and
that spiritual contamination was
transmitting to the whole church. I prayed for God to consecrate the church and
the pastor removed her from the worship team.
Worship leaders also need to be mindful of the
music they subject themselves to.
For example, if they listen to blues, that can
put a negative spirit around them that
depresses their mood. I know people this happens
to. It is not constructive. If they
listen to music that invokes unclean spirits, it
will be around them and can transmit
when they worship.
Working in businesses where there is continual
pop music being
played is not constructive for those called to
lead worship; it puts spirits around
them that are not from God. I have experienced this
first hand. Before worshipping,
they need to pray for God to make them holy and
wash away anything not of God.
“I pray for the blood of Jesus to wash me” is a
prayer that works. They need to pray
this prayer before they go to work, and when
they leave, to protect themselves and
their thinking from bad influences. When I am
around a lot of music I feel unclean
spirits. In the hospital the influence is
obvious; many times when certain music was
put on, it set off all kinds of problems between
the patients, who were being influenced
by the spirits being loosed by the music.
Mick Jagger testified
to the fact that every time their band played a song about the devil,
violence broke out. Rap music also invokes a lot
of bad spirits and that is why there is so
much violence at their concerts. Heavy metal and
most rock also are openings for demonic spirits.
Blues and country are openings for spirit of
depress-.
Jazz and classical can transmit unclean spirits
if the artists recording it use drugs,
which are openings for spirits. Or if they are
into something spiritual that is demonic;
a new age philosophy. Whatever is around the
artist spiritually gets transmitted in the recording.
I read a testimony of an ex-Illuminati member,
John Todd, who said all the record labels,
who he used to fund, had prayer rooms where they
would put spells on the record masters
before pressing them.
This wasn’t just to sell them; it was also to
spiritually influence the listeners. Todd says the
Illuminati are into witchcraft; they control
banking and politics, the music industry and run
the world. They are behind the New world Order
agenda. He came from an illuminati bloodline,
but
became a Christian and exposed it.
You can watch videos of his testimony on youtube (John Todd, ex illuminati on music business)
A person who is called to serve God with their
music needs to purify
themselves so only God’s spirit is around them.
The more pure they are, the more
anointing, or power, they will have from God.
Musicians are called to be Prophets
Musicians and singers, because they are
spiritually sensitive and prophetically gifted,
have a big responsibility to develop a
relationship with God and make sure that
what they are writing and singing IS inspired by
God and not a familiar spirit. That’s
why it is so important for them to consecrate
themselves from using drugs, which
are an opening to other spirits. They also need
to assess whatever they expose themselves
to, whether it is from God or not; the music,
the books, TV. all of these
bring spirits around them. God has said, in His
word, that there is an office of
prophet in the church, and. He wants the people
with these callings to be used to
build up the church, not negatively influence
the society by being used by the wrong
spirits.
Musicians and singers need to renounce any
involvement in their past or
present with any occult or new age practice;
remove any books or paraphernalia associated
with it, renounce any false spirits from having
read occult or new age
books; these all are openings for false spirits,
which will pollute their channel to
God.
In the Old Testament times, the musicians and
singers were prophets and prophetesses.
They pray and worship and get words from God to
transmit to others and
sing prayers back to God, inspired by the spirit
of God. Musicians and singers in
today’s time are also called to operate
prophetically in today’s church to do the same
thing. As the musicians and singers invoke the
Spirit of God, the Spirit touches
others as well and they also can prophesy, or
hear and sing words from and to God.
There is a story in the Old Testament where the
prophet Samuel tells King Saul that
he will come across a band of musical prophets
and he will be changed. It happens;
he comes across them while they are singing and
prophesying, and a new spirit
comes over him, and he starts to prophesy, and
the other people say “Is Saul also
a prophet?’
The prophet Joel, in the Old Testament, writing
about the end of days,
which is now (since Jesus is coming back very
soon, many of us believe) says “In
the end times I will pour out my spirit on all
flesh and your sons and daughters will
prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.”
Joel 2:28 I have heard of a lot of people having
prophetic dreams (dreaming
something that then happens). I have had them
too.
It says in 1 Corinthians 12:28 that God has set prophets in the
church. There is a
certain hierarchy, it says “in the church God
has appointed first of all apostles, second
prophets, third teachers, then workers of
miracles, also those having gifts of
healing, those able to help others,
administration, and speaking in different kinds
of tongues.”
To have the anointing of God these musicians and
singers need to do only God’s
music. If they are engaged in other types of
music as well, they will be polluting
their channel and bringing other spirits into
the worship they do in church. I have
experienced this first-hand. I know of musicians
and singers that were doing worship
and simultaneously doing other types of music; I
felt the other spirits present
in the church service. And the more pure a
person is, the more anointing of the
Holy Spirit he will have.
The creative process, of being inspired, is such
a natural high that many people
who are creative get wrapped up in the process
itself which is a form of idolatry
to God. They need to use that talent to serve
God, not as an end in itself. Musicians
and singers and writers all need to address this
issue. I once had a music professor
tell me “Music is our god.” A few years later I
called him and said, “Music should
be our channel to God.” The music schools really
reinforce this idolatry; that is
why it is so important that their students be
evangelized and have their talents channeled
in the right way.
With such a pool of talent, it is a mistake for
the churches to ignore what is going on.
If God doesn’t use these people, the devil will.
And they
will be tempted to be used in the world and that
is why the world is so corrupted;
the devil pays well. The music business siphons
people into it because the church
is not reaching out to draw them in.
3.
Evangelize and Disciple Musicians and Singers in Music Schools
and
Professional Musicians and Singers
This is a big job, but the church needs to get
on the ball and do this. They need these
people. In Boston where I lived for 30 years,
there are several music schools with
multitudes of talent. There are also a lot of
musicians and singers starting up their
careers in music, forming bands. This is a huge
untapped resource that the church
needs. I would like to see an organization start
to do this and connect these people
to the churches. But the churches have to be
ready for them; they have to be open
to the vision of using them in a more serious
way than they do now.
There needs to be 24-hour worship, and letting
some of them work full-time even living
in the churches. Not since the time of Bach have
the churches really supported musicians
and singers full time as creative people.
Worship and intercession is a creative
process. There are many choir directors in
churches and some full-time worship
leaders; but what I am talking about is
full-time intercession. There needs to be
more full-time worship leading and intercession.
Worship leaders now spend a certain amount of
time rehearsing for Sunday rather than
just in prayer and intercession full-time. In my
24 hour model, someone can be doing
intercession and worship while someone else is
rehearsing somewhere else. A lot of
churches have part time music directors who
direct choirs and lead worship. Let them
continue these duties, but let them work
full-time, doing intercession the rest of the time.
Even if you only have one full-time musician in
a church, that is better than nothing.
24-hour can be added later.
4. Removing
of Electronic Amplification or Using it Very Sparingly
will result
in more spontaneous worship
Instruments should be used to support vocal
singing, not drown it out. This way,
the Spirit will fall on the whole congregation
and they will be inspired to sing forth
prophetically and to inspire and catalyze others
in worship. I have been in a lot of
churches where I have seen that there is another
spirit using the amplification to
drown out the Holy Spirit. These churches are
not catalyzing the Holy Spirit being
in authority. Where the Holy Spirit IS in
authority, prophecy is encouraged. That’s
why God’s spirit is so grieved by all the
amplification; it is going in exactly the opposite
direction the Holy Spirit wants to go. The Holy
Spirit is gentle and wants to
use all of us prophetically to catalyze the
Spirit on each other. God wants the lead-
ership to be patient and wait on God and let the Spirit use others. A good
prayer
is to pray for the Holy Spirit to take authority
in a service. Interestingly, a few times
I have prayed this and then watched as the mikes
don’t work.
When I lived in the church for 2 years, I kept
invoking the Spirit of God and I believe
it was there a lot because of my worship.
Sometimes when other musicians and
singers came in to set up for worship using
microphones, I would feel the Spirit of
God shrivel up and leave with me. The amplifiers
and microphones in a lot of cases
are being used against God. They play too loud
and quench the Spirit of God rather
than invoke it.
God’s spirit is very gentle. He wants his entire
congregation to participate
in worship and the leaders need to catalyze
this. Sometimes they play so loud
with all the amplification that they actually
inhibit that participation that they are
seeking to catalyze. God wants His spirit to use
all his people; and he wants others
to be able to hear them if the spirit of God is
moving on them to sing or prophesy
to the church. Playing too loud blocks the Holy
Spirit from using other members
of the congregation, this is actually quenching
the Spirit, and the word says not to.
“Quench not the spirit” I Thess. 5:19.
The Holy Spirit often doesn’t bother to fall on
someone in the back to sing something
forth, because no one would hear them due to the
microphones up front
which make it impossible for the worship leaders
to hear anyone but themselves.
So the spirit doesn’t fall on the others like it
would. I was on the worship team of
a Brazilian church and one time all the mikes
were stolen. At the next service, the
spirit fell on many of the congregation and they
were inspired ‘and singing things
out loud. This was evidence of what I am talking
about.
God tells us in the psalms to SING .A NEW SONG.
He means to make up spontaneous
musical prayers. This will happen with the whole
congregation if the Spirit
is allowed to take authority and not be quenched
by those in front. God wants the
worship leaders to flow in the spirit and make
up spontaneous new songs; He also
wants the congregation to mature and also do
this. Sometimes the leaders hold the
congregation back by being too much in control.
They need to yield more to the
Holy Spirit, because the spirit is trying to do
more than they realize. Minimizing the
use of amplification plays a big part in this.
When the Holy Spirit is in charge and there
is spontaneous worship, people
sing different things, as the spirit leads,
but the Spirit is directing and they
end up singing in harmony with each other.
This is awesome. The Anointing
can fall on anyone and use them this way. More on this later.
5. Open
Doors to Churches
A lot of churches close their doors these days
because they are afraid of their equipment
being stolen. There are two answers to this;
first, if they had 24-hour worship,
the musicians and singers would protect what is
there by being there. Second, if
they give up the electronic and the amplifiers
and mikes and just use acoustic pianos
and guitars, there would be nothing to steal and
they could leave the doors open all
the time for anyone to come in and pray.
Acoustic guitars are portable and few musicians
and singers leave them in the church in the
first place. Acoustic pianos are
not portable. I’ve never heard of one being
stolen. I think a lot of the break-ins that
I’ve heard about of musical equipment being
stolen are signs from God that they
are grieving his spirit away by using this
equipment. The church needs to understand
this and change their attitude about worship.
The musicians and singers will develop loud
voices like I did if they consecrate themselves
and trust the Holy Spirit for power to sing
loud. If I can sing, anyone can sing, by the power
of the
Holy Spirit. As He healed me, my voice got louder and louder. This will happen
for
anyone who embarks on the path I am describing.
Some of the psychiatric drugs constricted my
voice again; that’s how I know the drugs are
not from God. He would not want to take away the
testimony He gave me to his healing power.
Only the Adversary would inspire that. The bible
says “The gifts and calling of God are without
repentance.” Romans 11:29. He would not take
away what he gave me. It is inconsistent
with His word. The bible says the devil come to
“steal kill and destroy”. John 10:10.
I spoke to churches about leaving their
buildings open at night for worship and
many of them said to me “Our insurance won’t
cover it.” The answer is, “live by
faith”. You’re a church. If you’re doing God’s
work, HE will protect you. I testify
to this. Nothing ever happened to me while I
lived in the church at night. On the
contrary several times when they made me leave,
there were immediately break-ins.
God was trying to show them that I had been
protecting the church and they
were driving away their protection. One time a
man came in while I was there alone
in the church. God had given me such authority
in that place that I accused him of
having robbed the church previously and I knew I
was right. He denied it at first
but what then transpired was that we both ended
up praying for each other and I
was blessed. Whatever he had had in his mind to
do again, left. God took over and
converted him. ( Actually, I think he was an
angel that had removed things God
wanted removed from the church)
My vision for revival includes 24-hour worship,
and open doors in the churches so
that anyone can come in and pray while this is
going on. After I left my church I
moved to a university chapel which had the doors
open all the time during the day.
I was playing one day and praying for “fire” to
come down, meaning God’s fire to
pour out. A little while later 3 student-age
people came in and told me that they had
been sitting on the steps outside and suddenly
felt fire, so they came in. It is evidence
that my vision works. The Holy Spirit Himself
will draw people into the
church; all we have to do is worship inside and
leave the doors open.
If churches are concerned about the cost of
lighting these places they need to live by faith;
people will make donations that will cover this
expense. One can leave a donation
box in the church near the door and whoever
comes in will contribute. This will
cover the building and the musicians and
singers, if they are working full-time. The
Levites in the Old Testament lived on the tithes
of the congregation. This could
work again. If people want to play in shifts and
work other jobs too, that is also possible.
But I believe that some of us are meant to do
this full-time and God will
cover us.
I used to come out of the church after playing
all night and by divine appointment
run into people that would give me money. This
was God’s way of supporting
my ministry work. Personally, I solved the
problem of needing expenses for
the building by not turning on the lights; I
played in the dark all night: I also wore
a coat and didn‘t need the heat on. So I cost
the church nothing. But I can remember
sometimes getting too cold and leaving or my
fingers getting too cold to play.
If the church had totally supported my efforts
and provided a space heater, I would
have been more blessed and so would they. The
minister had gotten sensitive to the
fact of the cost of keeping on a light, so I
stopped using the lights. But if he had
supported me and trusted God, God would have
provided for his and my need. If
I needed one, I, could have bought a little
battery light to put on the piano to read
music. I played without sheet music, so I didn’t
bother.
6. Let
Musicians and Worshippers Live in the Churches if Possible
The support for this is the Levites in the Old Testament,
who lived in the rooms
of the temple 1Cr 9:33 and the New Testament,
Luke chapter 2; where Anna the
Prophetess lived in the temple with fasting and
prayers and didn’t depart. Why
should a worshipper work 40 hours just to pay
rent somewhere, if they are going
to be in the church worshipping full-time? If
there is room, let them stay in the
church. I used to worship at night in the church
and rest there, and then go out during
the day to do something else. I evangelized in
the subway with my music. I also
taught in the schools and used it for
evangelism. I think it would be a real blessing
to be able to rest in the presence of others who
are still worshipping, continuing
the 24 hours shift. God’s presence would remain
strong and give the person many
prophetic dreams from Him.
MANY MUSICIANS AND SINGERS ARE NIGHT
PEOPLE. There is a
spiritual reason for this.
They are called to pray for others, through
worship, at night when others sleep, and
for people all over the world who are awake. God
uses us here to pray for people
in China. God often uses me to pray for Israel.
They are 7 hours ahead of us. Their
day is our night. He needs people on the night
shift. Things are going on all over
the world and we need to be used to pray for
others. Sometimes when you pray at
night, the people you pray for are having dreams
from God, because they are too
busy during the day to hear from Him. So as you
worship and pray for them, God
is talking to them. This is one way He uses
nighttime worship. Churches are safe
sanctuaries to pray in for situations that are
volatile. It would be good to have a
safe place here to play in, to pray for Israel,
as a rest from or preparation for going
there. I think there are some musicians and
singers who are being misconstrued as
being mentally ill, and being told to just sleep
at night and work regular jobs, rather
than being encouraged to use their talents as
prayer for God.
7.
Dissociate from the Mental Health System
Any musicians and singers or prayer warriors and
worshippers who have any connection
with the mental health system need to get out.
They should not be taking
any drugs, which inhibit the power of the Holy
Spirit and are an opening for other
spirits. I knew someone on the worship team of a
church who was taking lithium.
Every time I went to church, as soon as I went
in I got attacked by a spirit of wooziness,
or confus—. This was
because she was in a fog from the lithium, and when
she sang, that spiritual contamination
transmitted to the whole church. The thinking
of the mental health system is polluting their
thought life and prayer life as well;
that’s why they need to dissociate from it.
This is because the mental health system is premised on atheism, which sees
biblical
thinking and experiences as symptoms of mental illness. Christians are
slandered
by the mental health system and labeled psychotic. Hearing God or
demons are considered
to be auditory hallucinations; seeing or feeling
angels are considered visual hallucinations,
which are considered symptoms of psychosis.
Hence they get labeled
Schizophrenic or Schizoaffective.
Psychiatrists’ second question is always, “do
you hear voices?” If someone says they hear
God or demons, they are trained to call it an
auditory hallucination. The correct answer to
the question is “Everyone hears voices, as thoughts in our heads. They come from the
Spiritual Realm.
The word “inspiration” means “a spirit goes into
it”. And it is NORMAL Christian
theology to hear voices;
Jesus said “my sheep hear my voice” John 10:27.
The book of James ch 3
says there are two sources of thought: wisdom from above and
wisdom
from below,. (God and demons).
Being “hyperreligious”
gets them labeled bipolar, since hyperreligious is defined as
a symptom of mania. So then they are assumed to
be manic-depressive or bipolar.
It is all false logic, nonsense. The labels are nonsense.
Christian counselors that have books using
psychiatric terminology need to get rid of them
since they bring false spirits around them since
the books are based on lies. People that go to
counseling for anyone who thinks this way or has
these materials in their office can be
afflicted by bad spirits just being in the
office. I went to someone’s office who was
a Christian counselor. I felt oppression around
my head as soon as I walked in the
door. The counselor said she didn’t think the
books could affect her, but it was affecting
me. (It was affecting her too, but she just
didn’t realize it). I believe that
other counselees who went in there and didn’t
know to pray for the blood of Jesus
to protect themselves, were also being
afflicted.
My FREE book Manual for Transformational Healing-God’s Answer to Psychiatry
discusses atheistic psychiatry and their toxic
drugs and how to heal mental and physical illness.
You can read it it at:
http://www.1prophetspeaks.com
We need to pray for the mind of Christ. God’s ways are not our ways,
“My thoughts are not your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8
“Be
transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2
A good prayer to pray is “Lord let your thoughts be my thoughts, let
your heart be my heart.”
The more spiritually mature a person who walks
with Jesus is, the less their thinking sounds
like the world. Understanding of spiritual
things is a kind of wisdom that comes with
experience with God. Without that relationship,
one cannot achieve this. The natural
unspiritual mind dominates the mental health
system, so those called to serve
God need to remove that influence from around
them. The churches will become
the healers, by invoking more of God’s power. I
know that as I played the piano and
sang, God was doing healing in my emotions
without my talking about it to anyone.
Talking is not necessary for healing. God already
knows what is hurting us; His
spirit goes right into our minds and emotions
and does healing by His spirit. There
are many stories of people being “slain in the
spirit” - falling down under the power
of God, and waking up completely healed of the effect
of some trauma or delivered
from a besetting problem. I believe that the
talking of problems often keeps
the person stuck in it; it re-releases the
problem onto the person and can keep them
stuck, because of the negative power of words.
That’s also why praying in tongues is so powerful; it is using a prayer language
under the power of the Holy Spirit and God uses it to pray for us and others
by His Spirit.
It doesn’t release problems back into our lives by re-speaking the
problems in our language;
it just takes care of them.
I was having a bad situation one time and a
whole church prayed for me in
tongues; no one told them what was going on; the
situation stopped immediately.
God knew exactly what was going on; and having
them all pray by the power of the
Holy Spirit took care of it.
“MENTAL ILLNESS” is often really
misunderstood SPIRITUAL BURDENS
A lot of people that are called “mentally ill”
are actually spiritually sensitive healers
themselves, many of them gifted in music, who
are “called” by God to heal others
through prayer and worship. Unfortunately, a lot
of them don’t realize this, and the
society doesn’t realize this, and the churches
need to realize this. Their value in the
society is not understood and not being used.
This is what needs to change. Putting
them on drugs is exactly robbing them of the
abilities to minister and pray for others.
They need to establish a right relationship with
God so they know how to pray
and use their talents effectively to help
themselves and others.
For example a spiritually-sensitive person feels
the pain of others around them much
more around more than some other people. Or they
just feel pain, and don’t know why.
Often it is precisely that they are spiritually
sensitive, feeling the pain of others. It is not a
chemical imbalance. It is a sensitivity given by
God so that they will pray for others,
and the others will be healed. This then lifts
their pain. This is especially true of any
person that has been born again, filled with the
Spirit of God. And many of the
mental patients I have met, are Christians who
HAVE been filled with the spirit of
God. So they suffer because they are feeling
God’s suffering and the suffering of
their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Let
me explain this.
Any person who has the Spirit of God living in them is connected to
EVERY OTHER Spirit-filled believer.
There is only ONE HOLY SPIRIT. It lives in all
these people simultaneously, interconnecting us.
OF COURSE we feel each other’s pain! God cries
with us when we suffer and
we feel His grief for our suffering.
God’s purpose in interconnecting us is to get us
to pray for each other, to lift each other up.
He
doesn’t want us to go on drugs that block the pain and get us individually to
feel better,
numb to the
suffering of others. That is not God’s intent. He wants us to learn to pray
so that whatever is causing the pain, whether it
is just emotions or sin, is dealt with.
God gave us His spirit to create relationship
between us and God, and us and each
other. The drugs block our connection to God,
and block our connection to each
other. It is oppositional to the purpose of God.
Another patient told me that the
drugs made him numb. This is exactly what I am
talking about.
I lived in a synagogue for 7 months after living
in the church, praying for Jews. One
night I started to weep, and I heard the Holy
Spirit say “I am weeping for my people”.
That was God letting me feel his burden for the
Jews. It was definitely not my
own emotions.
A note to churches that send their sheep to psychiatric
counseling
This is a tragedy because the mental health
system, rooted in atheism, pulls them
further into lack of faith and uses drugs which
further impede their relationship
with God. I know people this has happened to, and
the church is guilty of sending
them there, both indirectly and directly. The
churches that counsel their sheep to
go to psychiatric counseling are directly guilty
of doing this and are in big trouble
with God. Woe to the pastors that slaughter their sheep.
Psalm I: Blessed is he who does not take
the counsel of the ungodly. The
psychiatry system is ungodly— rooted in
atheism.
MENTAL ILLNESS is caused by BAD SPIRITS,
NOT CHEMICAL
IMBALANCES
All diseases, both physical and mental are
caused by spirits that have assignments
which can attack our bodies, thoughts or
emotions. They can be rebuked in Jesus’
name. I have rebuked illnesses. I had a spirit
of depress- jump on me twice when
I touched someone who had it. I was crying for
no reason. God wasn’t speaking to
me about what it was about, so it wasn’t a
spiritual burden. One time someone
prayed for me and it left. The other time, I
spontaneously coughed and it left. (self
deliverance). Another time I was feeling that
spirit for some reason. I said “why am
I so depress—-? God said back to me, “you know
what to do.” So I rebuked it, and
it left. I was healed spontaneously of a sexual
disease when I repented of sexual sin.
I rebuked can—-, a life-threatening disease, and
it left. James ch 3:15-17 says there
are 2 sources of thought, above and below.
Wisdom from below is “earthly, sensual,
demonic.” Wisdom from above is first pure, then
peaceable, gentle, willing to yield,
full of mercy and good fruits, without
partiality or hypocrisy.”
Bipolar Disorder is a label that is way over-diagnosed. It is just the “disease du
jour
of psychiatry today; 20 years ago, their
favorite label was schizophrenia. Christians
sometimes get labeled bipolar because they
consider “hyper-religious” a symptom
of mania. Then, according to their logic, if the
person is manic, they must get depress—
too, hence manic-depress., or bipolar. It is
from faulty deductive reasoning.
People who really have this condition
(manic-depress—) most likely have brought
the condition on themselves by using drugs
(caffeine, alcohol and too much sugar).
Caffeine is an opening for spirits of man—and
alcohol is an opening for spirits of
depress—. Caffeine can make people hyper and can
cause anxiety. Alcohol is a
known depressant. Changing one’s diet will remove
one cause of the problem.
The most important thing is addressing one’s
spiritual condition. Being saved and filled
with the Holy Spirit brings peace and stability
to a person. The Holy Spirit brings
peace. Jesus said “My peace I give to you, not
as the world giveth, give I to you.”
John 14:26. After I got saved people said I was
more peaceful. This makes sense
because being saved gives one assurance they are
going to heaven, which removes
the anxiety people can have on a deep level
about what will happen when they die.
I think people have anxiety because on a deep
level their spirit KNOWS they will
go to Hell if they don’t get saved. This is not
neurotic; it is truth. The problem is
sin.
When a person gets saved, their sins are
forgiven, erased. God’s peace comes
to them. Once they are saved, if they stay in
sin, they may not feel God’s peace
until they repent. Taking care of the spiritual
level needs to be the first order of
business.
Sometimes people have anxiety—or depress—because they are living in
sin or have unrepentant sin. They use drugs
to treat their condition. Taking psych
meds no more addresses the spiritual level than
using caffeine, sugar or alcohol. It
is a mistake, and can mask the real problem,
which is spiritual. Repenting of sin and
getting right with God will bring God’s peace.
Repenting doesn’t just mean asking
for forgiveness, it means changing direction. A
person should ask for God’s help
to resist sin. The Lord’s Prayer says “lead us
not into temptation”. Sometimes when
I had a problem and asked why, God said to me,
“you didn’t ask for my help”. He
doesn’t impose his will a lot of the time, He
waits until we ask for help.
Psychotherapy is not generally speaking,
going to be helpful unless it addresses
the person’s spiritual condition and their
need to repent of sin and be saved.
The bible says “blessed is he who does NOT
take the counsel of the ungodly.” Psalm 1
Since the majority of psychologists and
psychiatrists are atheists, their counsel
would be counterproductive. Christian
counseling is the best choice. But
beware of those who work with
psychiatrists.
The Holy Spirit can inspire anyone,no
matter what they believe, to say something that is from God.
One time at a hospital, I was talking to a
shrink who HAD read the bible but said he was an
atheist. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will
bring all things to remembrance that he had
taught. Since this man had read the bible, the
Holy Spirit inspired him to suggest
something to me about a particular sin. God can
speak through anyone, but so can
other spirits.
The founder & head of the World Federation
of Mental Health, Canadian psychiatrist
George Brock Chisholm, in 1947, said the purpose of psychotherapy is to eradicate
morality.
This type of atheistic therapy is very
destructive and just leads a person in vicious circles and in sin.
Long term psychotherapy is really just a trap.
Knowing one’s problems is only the
first part of the problem. You need to know how
to solve them, and the only real
solution is with God and Jesus.
My mother once said to me “Freud takes you to a
wall and leaves you there.” This means, to
me, that psychotherapy is a dead end.
Dwelling on one’s past can be very
counterproductive. It can invoke bad things to
repeat. It is the devil who tries to get us to
look backward. God tells us to look
forward.
I heard a prophetic message one time in church:
“Look not to the past”. A
person who is saved and has accepted Jesus has
their sins and traumas washed away
by the blood of Jesus. This makes them a new
creature in Christ. Freud was the father
of psychiatry. His atheism and drug addiction
are the root of what psychiatry
is about, and both are dead ends.
Sometimes there are food allergies involved. God can cure a person of those. Artificial
food additives can cause problems as well.
Melody Petersen in her book Our
Daily Meds (2008) makes the case that
aspartame, common in diet sodas and gum,
is causing problems. It is poison. I have felt
the Holy Spirit leading me to avoid artificial
food additives. One should ask God to lead them
as to what to eat or drink.
Fluoride is also toxic; it is used in
water, bottled water and many foods, as well as psych drugs. Sodium fluoride is a toxic waste; it has been
sold to the public to help teeth as a total scam.
Toothpastes warn to call poison control if
swallowed. It is the ingredient in rat poison.
(You can see a list of foods that have it, and
natural herbs/vitamins to detox it, in the article
“Warning toxic fluoride in water, drugs &
food” at 1prophetspeaks.com
It is mass medication of the population. The purpose is to make people docile and
easy to control.
It was first used by the NAZIS in mental
hospitals and the camps for this purpose.
The Nazis are behind psychiatry; they have been
using it as a cover to drug and kill
Christians and everyone.
There are historical connections between
psychiatry and Nazism; the drugs and
gases used by the Nazis were developed by
biological psychiatry in Germany.
They were used on mental patients before the
concentration camps.
Dr Peter Breggin, who has written many books warning about toxic psych meds, and
has advocated against psychiatric abuse,
researched this connection.
His website is http://www.breggin.com
The Nazis did not want to openly kill Christians; so they did it
covertly through
psychiatry by calling them mentally ill. And they have been doing it
all along since
then through psychiatry.
The Nazis pretended to be Catholics, but were
really occultists; devil worshippers. They
intended
to turn on the Christians openly after the Jews, but to get power
initially, they
did not want to alienate the Germany people.
The Hitler youth sang a song whose words
were “we have no need of Christian
virtue, AH is our savior”.
Hitler said, “I have the youth”.
The psych meds are all toxic and deadly. They
cause brain, kidney & liver damage & have
horrible side effects. They are torture. I know firsthand.
The Nazi scientists were brought to the US under
Operation Paperclip,
where
they ran the CIA and continued the same types of mind control experiments,
using torture and drugs, that they did in
Germany; Project MKULTRA was a CIA program
to brainwash assassins for political purposes.
The pharmaceuticals all come from Germany; their
parent company was IG FARBEN
who made the gases used in the camps.
Psych meds have Fluoride: all the anti-depressants and anti-psychotics
have it; and their
purpose is to stupefy people to control them. It
puts people in a hypnotic trance. This also
opens them to demonic oppression, which is why the psych meds cause mental
illness.
God also showed me that psychiatry is controlled
by freemasonry, which at the top level
is devil worship.
I have seen the handbook written for the 32nd
level Scottish Rite, by Albert Pike, a sat-ist.
It says “we worship the luciferian
principle but we don’t tell the lower levels this.”
The head of the NIMH was Dr Robert Hanna Felix,
a mason, who directed psychiatric
research for Scottish Rite masonry, and ran CIA
program MKULTRA. And these scientists
were all
Nazis, who were also occultists, devil worshippers. It is
interconnected. It is part
of the plan to create the new world order, a one
world anti-christ government that the book
of Revelation says will occur, until Jesus
returns. Hitler used the term New World Order also;
I saw it
on a newspaper from Nazi Germany in Israel. My article “The New World
Order-prophetic warning to Jews, Christians
& everyone” on my website talks about this.
1prophetspeaks.com
Jim Marrs’
best-selling book The Rise of the Fourth
Reich documents how the Nazis have
been covertly working since WWII in this
country. The Holy Spirit gave me a witness that his book is true.
Psychiatry is one area. Mental Hospitals are concentration camps.
God made me a witness to it and had me write my
book.
What the Nazis started in Germany, they have
continued using psychiatry everywhere else.

One should be especially careful not to eat blood. The bible says the
life of
the animal is in the blood.
People who eat blood open themselves up to demonic oppression.
The Kosher laws forbid eating blood. There were
4 laws given the gentiles in Acts
ch 15: one was not to eat blood (the others are not to eat food
sacrificed to idols,
food strangled, or to fornicate). Eating fruits
and vegetables gives a person more
energy. Fish and vegetarian protein is a better
source of protein, which stabilizes
the blood sugar. When a person needs energy to
wake up, it makes more sense to
eat fruit or drink juice, than to drink coffee.
Juice immediately releases sugar into
the blood, which goes to the brain to wake it
up.
Caffeine is less direct anyway; it affects the
pancreas, which affects the blood sugar mechanism.
Overworking the pancreas with drugs can wear it
out, causing diab —. The brain
needs oxygen to function too, so the best thing
is to get exercise, which brings oxygen
to the brain.Then a
person can fast and not necessarily need to eat or drink something.
Doctors typically say that one can cause kidney
damage if they go more than 3 days without
water. But with God’s help people can fast
longer with no bad effects. I have gone
6 days and not had any problem. Fasting is a valuable tool to deliver
oneself from
spiritual oppression.
8. Pray for
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit — Jesus called this “power
from on
high”.
He told his disciples to tarry in Jerusalem
for power from on high and when
it came, they talked in tongues and
prophesied. All Christians need this
power and should pray for it.
The bible also warns us to avoid churches that
have a form of godliness but deny
the power thereof. Therefore churches that deny
the Power from On High need to
repent. They need to pray for the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit, as in ch. 2 of Acts,
as evidenced by talking in tongues and
prophesying.
Whether talking in tongues and prophesying is
evidence of having the Holy Spirit
in a person, or whether it is simply more POWER,
all Christians need it.
Every person should pray for the baptism of
the Holy Spirit, which is evidenced
by talking in tongues and prophesying,
according to Acts ch. 2.
Fasting is important to receive the
Baptism. When we fast our spirit is lighter
and we pray with more power. To pray for someone
else, both people need to fast. I say this
about fasting by my experience and what the Holy
Spirit has shown me.
There is an even more fundamental issue.
Christians disagree about whether a person
has the Holy Spirit in them. Pentecostals often
think that the evidence of a
person having the Holy Spirit in them is that
they talk in tongues. Some people
don’t know if they have the Holy Spirit in them.
If they have spoken in tongues,
they have received the Holy Spirit. I knew that
I had received the Holy Spirit after
I received speaking in tongues, because I
started to feel a witness in my chest if
something grieved God. Previous to receiving the
baptism of speaking in tongues,
this hadn’t happened. If they haven’t spoken in
tongues, they may not have received
the Holy Spirit yet.
Before the day of Pentecost, in Acts ch. 2, when the disciples were told to tarry for
“power from on high”, Jesus breathed on his
disciples and said “Receive ye the Holy Spirit”.
The question is, Was it IN them or ON them? Some
believe that the people had it IN them
at this point, that what happened later was more
POWER of the Holy Spirit. That is the
witness I get from the Holy Spirit. I think the
real evidence of the Holy Spirit being in a
person is Love. I have met Christians that don’t
talk in tongues, but they have love. I would
hesitate to say they don’t have the Holy Spirit
in them. Maybe it is true that they don’t
have “power from on high” yet, as evidenced by
the baptism of the Holy Spirit which
results in talking in tongues and prophesying.
We all need more power from on high which Jesus
told his disciples to tarry for.
How that manifests, is the real question. In the
Book of Acts, chapter 2, Jesus had
told his followers to tarry in Jerusalem for
“power from on high” and the Holy
Spirit came and filled them, and they spoke with
other tongues. In chapter 19 in.
the book of Acts when they received the Holy
Spirit it says they spoke in tongues
and prophesied: I do both. Some people may have
received the baptism and have
prophesied but have not talked in tongues. They
need to speak in tongues by faith,
and the Holy Spirit will take over. See next
paragraph.
Sometimes I pray in tongues and then God
talks to me and gives me the interpretation.
All of us need this “power” from God to do the miracles that He has called us
to do in
this time to heal the church and to heal the world. A lot more people
would talk in
tongues if they believed in it. One has to
believe to receive, generally. And sometimes
a person has sin they haven’t repented of, which
is blocking them from receiving
it. Some people say to me “If God wants me to
talk in tongues, I will” but
some of them are missing out on the fact that
their need to seek God more on the
subject and pursue it; they need to ask God to
reveal what, if anything, is blocking
them. It is not enough just to ask. Many people
ask once and if nothing happens
they assume it is not God’s will: This is false.
It happened to me when I repented of some sin; I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit
before I was baptized in water, just like the
gentiles in the book of Acts. I have prayed for
some people to receive tongues and the spirit
has expressly told me that, they need to
repent of something.
I read a book called Power in Praise by Merlin
Caruthers. This man says that a person
should ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit
and believe they have received it,
and just start talking in tongues by faith; The
Holy Spirit will take over and give the
person the witness that the Holy Spirit is doing
it, not just them. I asked God if this
was correct — I got a witness by the Holy Spirit
that he is. My witness is that one
should fast to speak in tongues the first time.
If a person has the Holy Ghost, then
by faith he can talk in tongues.
After I received the baptism (it came over me
and I had the sensation that it was
not me talking but the Holy Spirit, speaking in
tongues. This didn’t just “happen”
again. Someone told me to start praying in
tongues by faith and the Spirit would
kick in. I tried it and found this to be true.
Initially it may seem like a person is
doing it by themselves, but the Holy Spirit will
make its presence felt to let you
know that He is really operating.
There are multiple purposes for speaking in
tongues; some of it is for edifying
the church; this type is
spoken loudly at a service, and then someone else is
supposed to get the interpretation and tell the
church what the Holy Spirit is speaking.
I think there are many times in churches where
someone speaks in tongues
but the person who is given the interpretation
is too shy to speak it; they may not
be sure they are hearing from God, as a result
others are left wondering what was
going on. We all need to act in faith for God’s
process to work for the group.
Another purpose for tongues is a personal
prayer language where the Holy
Spirit directs our spirit what to pray for.
This is not for prophecy for the
church, it is intercession by the Holy
Spirit for whomever he is using the
person to pray for. Praying in tongues gives privacy, the
person doing it does
not know what the
sins of the other person are, yet they can be used by God
to pray for them.
There is a certain logic to this.
Paul also says to pray for God to tell our
mind what our spirit is praying for.
Sometimes God
does reveal what the Spirit is doing; but not always. God
uses us to pray
in tongues for others that we don’t even know, and for situations
in our own lives
that we don’t even know about yet; He is taking
care
of our future without telling us, which might
cause us to have worry if we knew it.
So He just takes care of it by having us pray in
tongues.
Another reason for tongues is that it
appears that the Devil cannot understand
it. My testimony,
and others have told me the same thing, is that prayers
seem less hindered when we pray in tongues; the
devil can understand our language
and try to intercept us if we pray aloud, since
he can hear us, but he can’t understand
tongues. So sometimes instead of asking others
to agree with us on a prayer; it is
more effective to just pray together in tongues,
and the Holy Spirit creates the unity
between our spirits.
A related situation is that sometimes there
is no way to talk about or pray
about a situation in English without having
the words actually invoke the
problem to re-occur. In such situations,
talking in tongues is the only way
to address it and solve it. I had a situation like this one time
where I couldn’t
discuss the
problem. The pastor told the whole church to pray over me in
tongues. Nobody
had any idea what the problem was. It got solved by their
praying in
tongues.
There are some
types of prayers that seem to need the power of tongues to
bring them about.
Sometimes I pray
for something, and then the spirit falls on me and I start
praying in
tongues. I keep praying until the spirit tells me “it is accomplished.”
Most times, for the power to be there, one
should be fasting.
Jesus said, about healing & casting out
spirits, “this kind cometh out
only by prayer and fasting” Mathew 17:21.
Isaiah 53 talks about God’s purposes for
fasting:
“to loose the
bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to
let the oppressed go free, and that ye
brake every yoke? Is 58:7
An important theological point about tongues is
that some people believe that it is
a gift - only for some people. I want to address
this. In I. Corinthians 12 it says
there is a different gift...”divers kinds of
tongues.” It doesn’t says tongues, but “different
kinds of tongues”. Some people, when they pray
in tongues, speak in different
types of tongues, that sound like different
languages. Other people always seem
to sound the same.
So I am making the distinction by saying that
the gift spoken
about here is different types of tongues, as
opposed to just one type. I think everyone
can potentially have a personal spiritual prayer
language. Not all speak in
tongues in church, for the purpose of
prophesying to the church, but all can pray
in tongues for their own edification and to pray
for others.
Some tongues are for the purpose of being interpreted in church,
other tongues are personal.
People can pray quietly in church, in tongues,
and not speak it loudly to
the whole church. This happens a lot.
In a book that is free on the Web to read titled
The Walk of the Spirit,
The Walk of Power by Dave Roberson, he talks about the ability to talk
in different languages while praying in tongues. He
has preached in languages
he did not know. I spoke in Hebrew while praying in tongues.
Singing in Tongues
One of the greatest joys I have ever experienced
is singing in tongues. Anyone
who has received tongues has the capability
to do this. Anyone, even before
they have received tongues, can be inspired by
the Holy Spirit and sing under the
anointing of God, without tongues, in their own
language. I have experienced several
people all singing together in tongues with no
instruments, and we all felt the
gentle peace that accompanied the presence of
God. It was a very gentle, Holy
presence.
Loud amplification of instruments tends to drown
this out; that’s why
worshippers need to be sensitive to the Spirit
and let Him be in control.
The experience of this sort is probably what
Heaven feels like.
One time I was in the church praying with 2
friends and suddenly
all 3 of us heard singing, high up in the
sanctuary. There were no other
people in
the church, so it had to be angels. It sounded like they were singing in
tongues.
One of the most dramatic experiences I had of singing in tongues
as intercession was in April of ’98.
I was playing the piano and singing in
tongues, which is a private prayer language
given by God, for 8 hours. I was playing in a
sanctuary at Boston Univ. used
by Catholics and Protestants. I heard myself
sing “shalom” which means peace in
Hebrew, many times. I had no idea what God was
doing, but I could feel the power
of the Holy Spirit on me. Sometime during this
event a man came in and listened,
then came over and said to me, “Thank you. I
feel like I can go home now.” I asked
where he was from and he said “Ireland”. The
next day, the Boston paper front
page said “Peace in Ireland’. They had just
signed the Good Friday Peace Accords.
I asked God, “Did you use me to pray for that?”,
and the Holy Spirit fell on me with
power, which meant “yes!”
There is a difference between a group of people
singing in tongues and talking in
tongues. A bunch of people talking in tongues
together may invoke the Holy Spirit’s
peace, or it may not. Sometimes it seems like
confusion. But the singing in tongues
experiences I have had seemed to invoke a
gentler holy peaceful presence. The
Holy Spirit was directing our spontaneous
worship into an amazing unity that made
us all sing in harmony. There was no discord. No
one knew what they would sing
next, yet, because the Holy Spirit was in
charge, He was directing all of us simultaneously
in spontaneous worship.
I have had experiences where several of us sang
together both in our own languages
and in tongues, going back and forth. We spoke a
few different languages, and we
all spoke in tongues as well, so we were going
back and forth between singing in
our own language and using tongues. At any given
moment it would be hard to tell
if the other person was singing in their own
language or tongues. Both were happening.
I have had experiences where I sang a song in
English and others sang the same
song in their own language, and we felt the Holy
Spirit. I have also had experiences
of spontaneous worship where I sing one thing
and someone next to me sang
something else, like adding a part in
counterpoint. I think God wants the whole
church to join in and all do this together.
The Spirit on one catalyzes others to also go
into spontaneous worship.
God has used me this way.
The bible tells us to sing a new song. This
means spontaneous songs.
Spontaneous worship really invokes the power
of God to do healing
and whatever He wants to do in people.
When we allow ourselves to do this, we are
letting Him direct us, instead
of Us directing the worship.
The more we let the Holy Spirit direct us, the
more He will do in us.
To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit a
person may need to ask God to reveal
any doctrinal error they may hold. When they
repent of it, the Spirit comes. There
are churches that have false doctrines that
don’t have the power of God because
of this. We are told to worship God in Spirit
and Truth. So God wants us to seek
His truth.
If a person believes that praying in tongues is
not for today, as some believe, that
is doctrinal error that can block it from
coming.
If a person believes that those who pray in
tongues have a mental problem, they
need to repent. They are actually attributing to
the devil what is from the spirit of
God, which is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
If a person thinks it is only a gift, and not
everyone is supposed to get it, this may
be doctrinal error that can block them from
receiving it. One needs to have faith
to receive it. They need to repent of not
believing, and ask for it. They can pray
‘Lord if my doctrine is error, forgive me’. The
error is that the scripture says the
spiritual gift is “Speaking in different kinds
of tongues” in 1 Corinthians 12:10. It
doesn’t say “speaking in tongues”. That means
each person should pray for tongues
and expect to receive a heavenly prayer
language. Often this gets released after the
person repents of some sin. Ask the Holy Spirit
to reveal anything that needs to be
renounced or repented of that is blocking it.
God may want someone else to pray
for you to remove something that is blocking it.
Sometimes people who have been baptized as Catholics need to renounce
false religious spirits around
them which block them.
Commentary on Catholicism
There is doctrinal error in Catholicism
The 10 commandments are violated by the statues
of Mary. In the catechism
that they teach children, the commandment not to
make graven images and bow
down and worship them is LEFT OUT. They take the
last commandment and divide
it into 2 to compensate and end up with 10. The
Catholic bibles have all 10
commandments; Catholics need to study the bible
and they will see the differences
between what is in there and what doctrines they
have been taught as children.
The Catholic church teaches that Mary is the “mediatrix” But that contradicts the scripture
which says “there is ONE mediator between God
and man, the man Christ Jesus”. 1 Tim 2:5
It is diversionary, a ploy of the devil, to look
to Mary rather than Christ.
Some Catholics think the trinity is “father son
and holy mother” rather than Holy Spirit.
One time I was praying about whether to live
with a Catholic friend, and the Holy Spirit
gave me a scripture from Jeremiah 7:18 and Jer 44; it says God is angry because they make
cakes and burn incense to the “queen of
heaven”.
When Catholics pray the Rosary, they meditate on
the events in Jesus life, and at the end,
they call Mary the queen of heaven, or queen of
peace” So it leads to Mary rather than Jesus!
Jesus told his followers not to pray in vain
repetitions like the heathen. Repeated “hail mary”
prayers are such.
God gave me a word to say to Catholics one time.
I was at a Catholic charismatic
prayer meeting,
and He spoke to me, saying “Talk to my children”.
I asked “what do you want me to say?”
and He said “look not to Mary, but to Me.”
The first commandment says “thou shalt have no other gods before me”.
Putting anyone or thing before God is idolatry
to God.
Worshipping Mary is idolatry. Making statues is
idolatry.
Idolatry is abomination to God. Idolators will not see the kingdom of heaven.
Rev. 21:8 says “idolators..shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire
and
brimstone, which is the second death.
People who have been brought up with false
religious doctrines need to repent
of error
and renounce any false religious spirits.
Catholic doctrine is not biblical Christianity.
It is a counterfeit. This is why so much evil has
been done in Jesus’ name by the Catholic church;
the devil uses it to discredit Jesus.
If one takes communion in a church that teaches
false doctrine, one can bring judgment
on oneself because one is partaking of their
sin. Paul says that many are sick and fall asleep
(die) because they take communion unworthily,
without repenting of their sin. (1 Corin. 11:27-29)
If you take communion with others who are
sinning, you come under judgment with them.
This is why so many Catholics get sick. The
bible is clear to come OUT of fellowship with the false church; it says COME
OUT OF HER and Partake not of her sins. Rev 18:4
It is described as the whore of Babylon which is
the Roman Catholic church.
Rev 17 describes it.
Rev18:18 says the woman is a great city, which
reigns over the kings of the earth
(the Holy Roman Empire). The woman sits on a
beast with 7 heads and l0 horns.
She is arrayed in purple and scarlet, which are
the colors of the pope. Rev 17:9 says
the 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman sits. Rome is a city with 7
mountains.
Rev 7: 12
says the 10 horns are 10 kings, which
receive power one hour with the beast.
These shall have one mind, and shall give their
power and strength unto the beast.
These shall make war with the Lamb and the Lamb shall
overcome them; for he is
Lord of Lords, and King of Kings. Line 16 says
the 10 horns shall hate the whore,
and burn her with fire.
This beast is the antichrist government of the
new world order, a one world
government that will have a false religion. They
are devil worshippers. There is a false
prophet who gives power to the beast, many
believe it will be the last pope. The
anti-christ will be
the head of this world government, who makes people take the
“mark of the beast” to show allegiance; it will
be a computer chip. It says he will make
Rev 13:16-17 And it says anyone who takes it
will suffer eternal torment along with the
false prophet when he is cast into the lake of
fire.
I believe Rev 18, which describes judgment on a
city that is destroyed in one hour, is also
referring to NYC, which controls the banking and
merchandising of the world, as judgment
for the greed and worship of money of the US. I
have felt a witness that this is so. Both the
bombing of the twin towers in 1993 and then
their destruction in 2001 were warnings to
repent to avoid future judgment.
AND TO GET OUT BECAUSE JUDGMENT IS COMING. REV 18 SAYS SO.
Many Christian prophets have had visions from
God of NYC being destroyed by a
nuclear attack by Russia. The Holy Spirit gave
me a witness that it is true.
In 2002 God told me “tell them the sword is
coming” which is from Ezekiel 33, which tells
the prophet to warn people of danger, and to
repent of sin. I also heard the word “PUTIN”.
The Holy Spirit had given me that scripture a
few years earlier, telling me to warn the Jews
to leave the US and go to Israel.
Rev 18 could have multiple meanings; Rome is
false religion, spiritual Babylon, and NYC
is also Babylon.
Pompei was destroyed in one hour by a volcano;
at the time, it was the
center of trade, like NY is now. Biblical
prophecies can refer to multiple events; a
previous one acts as a symbol of a later
one.
Many things occur like this: here is another
example.
911 (Sept 11, 2001) happened on a date that is
the same number for the police. It was the
beginning of a police state in the US, with the
passage of the patriot act. A
foreshadowing
happened on 911 in l973, in Chile, when Allende was overthrown by the CIA and they
created a police state in Chile. That was a
prophetic warning. The CIA was also behind
911, as they have been behind every major
assassination. And they are run by Nazis.
German Nazi scientists were brought here under
Operation Paperclip after WWII to run
NASA and
the CIA. The CIA is the shadow government in the US. It has been covertly
operating since WWII, but has been openly
manifesting its true Nazi spirit since 911. They
tell the president what to do; if he resists, he
is assassinated. George HW Bush said on 911
in l991
that the Gulf War is the first test of the new world order. Hitler also called
the 3rd
Reich the new world order. It refers to the
fascist world government, the antichrist
beast of Revelation.
What Catholicism does to the 10 commandments, the Jewish religion
does to the
message of the Messiah.
Isaiah 53, which accurately describes
what happened to Jesus, is not part of the liturgy in the synagogues during the
normal service. The Jewish religion has avoided that truth just like the
Catholics suppress other truths.
Isaiah 53 is avoided because it sounds so
obviously like Jesus that rabbis don’t like
to have to answer the questions it triggers.
Many Jews are amazed to discover it in
their own bible. It is not in the prayer books.
The rabbinic discourse on the subject
is quite incoherent. Isaiah 53 says “my
righteous servant shall justify many, for he
shall bear their iniquities…for the
transgressions of my people was he stricken.”
Testimony about nighttime worship being from God
One of my friends in the Brazilian church on
whose worship team I had played actually
prophesied over me a message one night: “I have
put you in this church. I’m
gonna use you to bless the church and judge the church.” This Brazilian
church
met in the building that I ended up staying in
for 2 years, playing at night. God was
talking about the church community as a whole,
meaning all the congregations that
met there, as one church, including the
building.
God had moved me INTO this building through the
Brazilian church, who asked me to play
piano
with them. Then I just ended up staying in the building a lot afterward,
playing at night.
Eventually I developed relationships with the
American churches that also met there,
and their pastors. To me, it was like one
church. I was at my post, playing lot of the time, and
they were coming and going. So I had
relationships with all of them. Other musicians
that are called to be intercessors will find
themselves in a community of several
churches in one building also, praying for all
the congregations.
One element that God meant with that prophecy
was that he was going to Judge
the church by how they treated me, partly
because I am Jewish. There is a scripture
in the Old Testament where God says “I will
bless those that bless you and curse
those that curse you.” He is talking about the
Jewish people in this scripture in Exodus.
So he judges others by how they treat Jews. The
church should be mindful
of this and help the Jews in their midst and support
them in their ministry efforts.
They should also help Jewish people to return to
Israel since it is God’s will for
them to return. Anyone that helps them do this
will be blessed.
Because I am Jewish, I always felt a special
anointing (power of God) to worship
and pray on the Sabbath, which is Friday night
and Saturday. As a Jewish believer
I have felt a witness in my spirit that I should
observe that Sabbath. I used it to pray
for the Jews. When the church allowed me to
worship there on Friday nights, they
were being blessed. I was praying for the Jews
while they are praying.
I can testify to 2 events that happened that were testimonies to the
church of my
ministry being from God.
The first time, I was out of the church for 6
weeks and was playing in the subway,
worshipping God. I really missed being in the
sanctuary which was a safe haven and
where I could rest. The subway was a place of
evangelism and work for me. I cried out
to God “do something!” to let them know they
should let me back in the church.
Then I worshipped God. That night it started to
pour.
The whole green line of the subway was flooded
on the line next to the church.
I was in
the red line in Cambridge and no floods came there. I was staying in a friend’s
basement in Cambridge which had an open window,
and not one drop of water went in there.
The church’s basement was destroyed completely;
it re-floods now when there is a lot
of rain. Also I was told that the same night, 3
offices in the church were broken into.
Previously, what had happened was that often
when they made me leave, offices
were broken into after that and apparently some
of them thought maybe I did it.
I didn’t. It was not me; it was God. The church
can’t blame me for physically flooding
the church; that was clearly an ACT of GOD.
That’s why God did it so they
would believe it was Him acting and not me.
The second time, I called the pastor and told
him, “I’m gonna pray that there is another
flood as a sign to you that my ministry (of
playing in the church at night) was
from God and you need to acknowledge it.” That
night, I later found out, there was
a fire in the apartment over his, and they had
to move out of their apartment because
of the water damage the fire department caused
when they put out the fire
above them. Remember what the bible says about
the tongue being a fire?
This incident was evidence, again, of the word
of God. There was a fire and a flood in
their apartment. My prayer was answered a second
time. Perhaps this was a mistake
on my part, perhaps not. That is up to God to
judge. But the testimony is evidence
of God’s word and the power of our words. Most
of the time, only people who are
right with God get their prayers answered. The
bible says “The effectual fervent
prayers of a righteous man availeth
much” James 5:16 It is saying that the closer to
God we are, the more authority we have with him
and he answers our prayers.
Sometimes others get prayers answered because of
God’s grace (which is undeserved
favor) or because God wants to bless the
recipient of the prayer, or to use
it as a testimony to His name.
If two people are praying for something and one
of them has faith, God will often use that
to answer it as a testimony to the other.
I have already mentioned that I am a musician
who was called to worship in the
church; my model being the Levites in the Old
Testament who lived in the temples
and worshiped day and night. A New Testament
model is Anna the Prophetess in
Luke 2, who lived in the temple and didn’t
leave, engaging in fastings and prayers.
My model for musicians and singers or
worshippers living in the church and praying
continually comes from both sources.
One of the scriptures in the Old Testament is
“Forsake not the Levite.” “Touch not
His annointed, and
cause my prophets no harm” Psalm 105:15 is another scripture
that is relevant here; I was called
prophetically to share this vision for revival in my
church, and their reaction caused me to suffer
when I was in need of somewhere
to play at night. That is not only my work; it
is how I feed myself spiritually. It
brought judgement on
them.
To sum up, I know that the vision for Revival I
had for the churches will bless
