Update on Kingdom Building

Thank-you for upholding us in prayer and for praying the suggested prayer (weblog dated January 12).

This weekend has been a prophetic type of the feast of Passover with some parallel events taking place. But as I pointed out a few days ago, there are other Passover dates to watch. January 23 is the anniversary (from 1985) of a Passover prayer campaign that may see some manifestation this year.

Likewise, if January is a Passover month, then February is a Second Passover month (Numbers 9:9-11). Since we are in the time of the second coming of Christ, the prophecies of the Second Passover are generally dominant now, even as the normal Passover was dominant in Christ’s first work 2000 years ago. So we may see delays this month as we fight the good fight against our very powerful opposition—the Rothschilds, Oppenheimers, and Rupperts.

January 17 is also shaping up to be an eventful day. It has been a watch date since 1982 when I consciously joined the Net of Prayer on the evening of January 17. The date came again into prominence in 1994 with the Los Angeles earthquake. A year later (1995) on the same date was the big earthquake in Kobe, Japan.

Recall that from the end of our Jubilee Prayer Campaign (November 29, 1993) until the Kobe quake was 414 days, which signified the fall of Babylon. Kobe and Babel, in different languages, have the same meaning: “God’s Door/Gate.” The Kobe quake occurred on Cursed Time (414 days), confirming the fall of Babylon, as described in Revelation 16:18.

So January 17 has a lengthy history, going back decades. In 2022 it is shaping up to be another very important day signifying a spiritual victory (17). An event is to take place on the morning of the 18^th in South Africa which, according to the word of the Lord, must take place in order for us to have victory. If all goes well, it will take place, by our time (CST) the evening of January 17.

I wish I could be more specific, but those details will have to await the history book. Right now, we cannot alert our enemies, who are powerful enough (and ruthless enough) to try to stop it. They know we are a threat to them, even if most of the church does not take us seriously.

Is God a Failure?

Bradley received a word through Gabriel yesterday, which addressed a number of issues that are important to God. One portion of the word is addressed to the church for its failure to believe the sovereignty of God:

“You have allowed yourselves to become instruments of offensive degradation and saluted each other as you laud yourselves for making ‘amends’ for ‘the failures’ of MY creation order Holiness. And yet the foul stench of that which you are so proud of has ignited a fire that now no one is able to drown out.”

The church is proud of making “amends” to make up for God’s failures. Most Christians would not understand that, of course, and would therefore reject the word. But such teachings as the “rapture” are based on the idea that we must escape from the earth and the Antichrist instead of conquering in all things. It is essentially an escapist mentality that has its roots in the idea that God fails. Hence, as many think, believers must inherit heaven, rather than the earth, and they must live in a spiritual body, playing harps on a cloud, rather than inheriting the earth in a glorified body.

A group of demons tipped us off on January 13 in their attack (taunts), trying to discourage us. They claimed that the USA will see another violent Civil War that will destroy the nation.

At any rate, our calling and assignment is to turn this around, bearing witness on earth to what is decreed in heaven. This morning, on my call to South Africa, we prayed that the eyes of the Laodicean church will be given eye salve (Revelation 3:18) and that God would open the eyes and ears of the church, now that we are at the end of the wilderness (Deuteronomy 29:4).

This is being typified and illustrated by a former atheist (until 12 months ago), who is to be baptized on Tuesday the 18^th. She is a key person who received a direct word from God at the same time that Bradley received the same word earlier this week. You will hear more of her in the months and years ahead.

Again, I apologize for speaking obscurely for now, but I do not want to put her in danger.

The Lord has warned us also not to fall into the pattern of Hezekiah in Isaiah 39, where he gave the Babylonians a guided tour of the treasury and thereby gave the Babylonians a motive to steal it all a century later.

God’s Ten Year Plans

For me, everything really started in 1971, when my wife and I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. We entered into a certain level of experience of prayer at that time. Then in 1981 God took me out of the church to teach me to hear His voice (in English).

In 1991 the revelation came that prayer was primarily to be a time where we sought the will of God, so that we could say Amen to His will and be His double witness on earth as it is in heaven.

In 2001 the revelation took a new turn and began to be far more specific than before. Answers to prayer moved from general principles to specific details.

This took another increase in 2011.

Then in 2021, after my wife and I passed our 50^th anniversary, everything changed once again. The Lord wrote a message on the restroom wall (in South Africa), which told them to tell me everything that God had been doing in the previous year. The messages had been coming to them almost daily, often through written messages which would suddenly appear, seemingly out of nowhere and often in unexpected places.

As I see it, the word of the Lord itself is emerging from the spiritual into the earth. What comes to mind is “and the word became flesh” (John 1:14). This method of communication is as unusual as when the Logos became flesh at the birth of Christ. I never expected such things to happen. The revelation is now near constant. While I was speaking to Bradley’s father (face to face online) in South Africa this morning, another message, written on a piece of paper, suddenly showed up in the kitchen, which had relevance to what we were discussing in regard to the word of the Lord.

Pass Me Another Brick

Events are happening very quickly, and it is difficult to keep up with the prophetic work that we are being instructed to do. Yet we always have precisely enough time to do everything, with very little time to spare. I must also be prepared for God to interrupt my schedule, knowing that He and His priorities take precedence over everything.

I enjoy being on the winning side of history, but at the same time I am finding that building the Kingdom takes time and energy. I always knew that such a time would come, where the focus of this ministry would have to change according to the next phase of the Kingdom; but I could not have known what form it would take.

So I appreciate your prayer support, because God has made it clear that this work is bigger than any one man can do. It will require a company of people, both in prayer support and, ultimately, in actual “boots on the ground,” as they say. There are, of course, God-induced delays on account of Him hardening the hearts of the modern pharaohs and rulers of Babylon, but we know that God delays things to His appointed time.

Events in the spirit and in the world are occurring at a very fast pace now, but building the Kingdom will continue for a thousand years as the “stone” grows until it fills the whole earth. Understand that while things are moving fast, the world does not change overnight. We accomplish each step quickly, but the journey itself is a series of many steps. Every day we see another “brick” being placed in the structure of the Kingdom.

Remember the revelation we had in 2014 about the 12 departments of Kingdom Government? Each tribe of Israel represents a different department. The revelation today has mentioned this, and so it is clear that God is taking the first steps in establishing those departments. No doubt, I will have more to say about this in the future.
