The Lord told me to release this verse, and what really encouraged me is that after He told me this, I heard several other people who were given the same revelation in the same time frame. I want to explain it a little so you can release it as well. But please read this verse yourself and when you feel the Holy Spirit moving you, release it into your sphere of authority for it has to do with the calling of the Body of Christ into maturity to posses the land of inheritance — the Kingdom.

This prophecy in Ezekiel 37 is very memorable and mentions forming an Army from a pile of dead, dried up bones. The verse says this is the whole house of Israel, which we, those who abide in the Lordship of Christ, indisputably belong to. It also says in verses 12 and 14 that this is to bring the people “back to the land of Israel,” to their “own land,” which is quite plainly the “land of promise” which we now know “only those with faith can enter.” So we are plainly not talking about a physical land that even those without faith can enter, although the physical is an important parallel of the spiritual. We are instead primarily talking about the spiritual land of inheritance, the Kingdom of God, within which all of the Lord’s promises to His people are available.

There are five elements in this verse that explain the process the Body takes on this journey from death to life.

The Lord first tells Ezekiel to prophesy, “I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life,” and says He will attach tendons, flesh and skin to the dry bones. Ezekiel prophesies this, and this is what happens:

Two weeks ago I posted a word called “A Cry at Midnight.” We as Christians all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Matthew 25:10 “The bridegroom came” is a future event unlike any in human history. The Lord spoke this powerful truth recorded in Matthew 24:30-31. I want to say again that I believe as well that Matthew 25:6 “And at midnight there was a cry” is a real event that the Lord has chosen to happen at a specific time and place. On April 8th the Lord gave me a prophetic experience where I saw an angel high about the coast of Southern California holding a chain that was attached to a large clock. On the clock read “three seconds to midnight.” What I believe with all my heart is that those 3 seconds represent 3 months. Has the Lord planned a midnight cry event on July 8th 2008 that will awaken the church worldwide to a fervent passion to make herself ready? This event even awakens the false church (Matt 25:8) to make false preparation, nevertheless the world will make preparation!! I do believe there are a number of years between “the midnight cry” event in Matthew 25:6 that moves the bride worldwide to make herself ready and the “Bridgegroom came” in Matthew 25:10. On January 24th of this year I heard the Lord speak these words as a trumpet sound “On July 8th the Nations will stop and weep for America.”

On April 26th Joe Nemechek won the pole for the Talladega nascar race. Being a big nascar fan, seeing Joe Nemechek win the pole was nothing short of a miracle. Another miracle, Joe Nemechek’s car sponsor for the race is “THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER.” Oh! by the way Joe Nemechek’s car number is 78.

"Is that what I am saying?"

The Right Reading of Warning Words

We don’t print many warning words in HKI because the Lord rarely prompts us to do so. I feel a time has come for us to start to publish some specific warning words, but I feel many people misunderstand them and so a proper explanation needs to precede most warnings so they will bear the right fruit (intimacy, faith, sanctification, hope), and not the wrong fruit (fear, isolation, murderous plans for self-protection, despair).

Why do we misunderstand? First, there are often questions of timing. I’ve gotten words that mentioned a month ... but not the year! I eagerly waited for this fulfilllment which came ... just three years later than I expected. Or God will say, ‘soon’ and He means fifty years!

Also, there may be conditions; He will say, “If you repent and stay faithful ... this will happen; if NOT, THIS will happen.” We need to follow the conditions; well really we first need to listen and hear His conditions!

But what I really want to share starts with this: I was recently reading a warning word predicting destruction upon the US and other places when I heard the Lord speak, asking me, “Is that what I am saying?”

Prophetic Vision and Dream

Pastor Kilpatrick wants to share with his partners and friends the following vision and dream he had in April and May 2008. He has never posted a vision or dream on the internet, but after talking with some close friends, intercessors, as well as those in prophetic ministry he has agreed to do so. His intentions are not to alarm the Church or the public, but to forewarn us to pray concerning what he has seen. At this time, we do not have the full revelation or meaning of this vision and dream, but know that the Lord is trying to warn us and prepare us for the days ahead. Please help us pray to the Lord concerning this matter.

Sunday, April 27, 2008 - Vision

As I was approaching the Daphne Civic Center for Sunday morning service at Church of His Presence, I had a vision which lasted for about two or three seconds. In this vision, I saw the ground buckling before me. It was so real that I actually moved aside to avoid what I was seeing. I knew immediately that it was an earthquake, and the thought crossed my mind that the damages of this earthquake could have the potential to exceed those of Hurricane Katrina of 2005. Please understand that I am not saying that the Lord told me this. It merely crossed my mind.

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 - Dream

I awoke trembling and shaking at 5:00 in the morning after having a startling dream. This was one of the three most profound dreams that I have ever had during the ministry the LORD has called me to. I feel that this dream is an addendum to the vision I had on April 27, 2008.

“I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the Lord, and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart” Jeremiah 24:7

My precious Church I am calling many of you to seek Me wholeheartedly. Many of you have lost your vision of Me. Many of you have wandered down a path that I do not call you to walk. A path of placing other things before Me.

Dearly Beloved of God, there are people and things in your life that I have spoken to you about. I have told you that I have wanted you disassociated with these areas of your life, for your own benefit. Because it is been above your own understanding, I the Lord have had to come in and create circumstances that will take you “out of the loop” that you are currently in.

This will be momentarily painful to you, but you will quickly understand that you have tried to lean on your own understanding and that I have had no choice but to sever the ties that have bound you to individuals, groups and even places that I the Lord have not chosen for you, but that you have chosen for yourself.

You see, dear one, you cannot move forward if your flesh allows you to hold on to soul ties that were not established for you. Soul ties effect the spirit, if they are not of me. Soul ties can literally make you or break you, in your spiritual growth. I have heard your heart’s desire to come up higher, but you have not realized that in your quest for the higher realms, it is in your association with others whom you have believed to be your comrades, but who I have not bonded you with, who are actually keeping you grounded on your current level in the spirit.

I went into a building that was an old warehouse made into a church industrial type building. I went and sat in the back where there were cafeteria type tables set up, some coffee table, and children running around playing in the back of the church as children do. There was a partition with chairs in a row sectioned off, a woman came by and hugged me — oh, she was glad to see me. It was very much like church. It was familiar. There were folding chairs in rows all the way from the tables to the front of the church where people sat in a traditional way.

But we were in the back. I went behind the partition and there were several rows of people. I sat down and I knew the people behind the partition. They were leaders, very mature in the Word of the Lord but they were hidden in the back behind the partition.

All of the sudden someone said, “Now reorganize the chairs; the ones in the back are going to be in the front. People are going to grab the chairs and line up.” Then suddenly there was a roar from the front. It was the sound of a huge breaker or Tsunami. It came roaring through the body, the body of people. They said get ready, here they come, get ready here they come.

Therefore what is in the forefront will be in the back. What has been maturing in the back, hidden, unknown will be in the forefront.

Dream: February 3, 2008

Discernment is a quality of the Spirit, it is not just having an opinion. Many of us now know and believe that we are in the last days — many now know that God is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh and thus ushering in new wine. Many now know He is doing a new thing, unlike something we’ve ever known before. Many also know that in these days things will happen that will fool even the elect if that were possible, so many know that it is vital to be discerning in these days.

A lot of this knowing however is in our heads. We’ve heard it so many times in all sorts of Christian circles, so we’ve accepted that it is going on. Accepting that this is going on and accepting the idea that we need to walk in discernment however does not mean we are equipped and enabled to actually do so.

I have observed recently all sorts of attempts at discernment and believe the Lord is leading me to release this to help equip the church.

The truth is there is only one way to be discerning — and that’s through the Spirit of God.

You are between two places, and you are not comfortable in either one. You are not going backward, but you are not comfortable going forward. You must press through to get to the other side, the place where spiritual breakthrough is at hand.

For I am stretching you to put your faith out there to the place where you have never arrived as of yet, but you must press through the place where the giants are at to get to the place that is flowing with the milk and honey. Press through, My people, and if the need be, cry out for the release of My glory to get you there.

Press through the place where indecisions are made, where the enemy is testing you to see what you are made of ... to see if you are truly the gold that has been purged through the fire.

Watch and pray for the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak and is not willing to pay the price to get to the other side. Are you truly willing? Are you hungry enough to pay the cost to be able to press through?

I hear the Lord say, “Surprise!” I see at the same time a vision of the Lord handing out extravagant gifts!!

The Lord says, “Surprise gifts are coming to you this year. Things you have not imagined. You have asked big things, but I will surprise you. I will do bigger things than that! I will bring a surprise that will let you know I am a God of miracles and I love you! Surprise! I am your Father and I desire to bless you and make you giggle! Tell me what you want, and I will bring it with more. Ask and see if I will not pour out on you a blessing you will not be able to contain. SURPRISE!!”

The Lord reminded me what I had prayed for during the dead of Winter. I had asked the Lord for beautiful flowers to bloom in my yard this Spring, as they didn’t do well last year.

I felt the Lord say that even as scandals and a cynicism have eroded the world’s view of the Church and the Church itself — that the Lord said that, “EVEN IN AN INSTANT what comes OUT OF FLORIDA will RESTORE CREDIBILITY and FAITH TO BELIEVE and RECEIVE SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES OF A DIMENSION NOT YET SEEN ON THE EARTH — EVEN IN A MOMENT,” SAYS THE LORD.

“For Todd And The Healing Revival, Florida”

April 17, 2008

“For My son — I am stirring up the river — I am stirring up the river —

“The sound of a GREAT GRACE,” says the Lord. “The sound of a GREAT GRACE is descending from My Throne.

“For even as you have yearned in your spirit to see this day, and even as you have seen this moment — I tell you that this is just the preparation,” says the Lord. “THIS is just the warm-up party — for what you shall see in the coming days shall even make these days pale — with what I have up My sleeve!

The first part of this word was given when we were doing a crazy thing—making reservations at the last minute and canceling our schedules in Wales, because we were prompted by the Holy Spirit to come to Lakeland, Florida ... and the command included a loud NOW! In the middle of that turmoil, God spoke and said:

“Lakeland Is Not Revival. It Is Far More Than Revival.

“It is far wider and deeper than just a local revival. This is not just a powerful move of God in one location, comparable to Pensacola, or Toronto or to Argentina. The power of My Spirit was released there and then, but compared to what I am about to do from here on, those revivals were only the forerunners, just a few drops before the big rain — the greatest revival ever.”

Get Wired Up And Fired Up

“Listen to Me: This is not a revival as any other you have seen; it is much more. This is a linking of revivals ready to explode. The network of people and churches with a heart for revival that My Holy Spirit has been building over the years — people who have put the Lord above anything else and are sold out to see a move of the Holy Spirit such as none before — people from all over the world that for years have cried out to Heaven, ‘Rend the Heavens and come down’— those people are now coming to Lakeland at the prompt of My Spirit, not to see a man or to receive a healing only, but to get wired up in My network.

Thus Saith the Lord,

Because of My great compassion I keep speaking to the few of My remnant that are actually listening. How it horrifies Me to look at My church and see how you have sifted and twisted My own commands. You constantly pick and choose the one you will accept and you discard all others. I hear some of My ministers crying out that all you have to do to please Me is to attend their services every week. Where in My Word do you find that? Even if you go into a church building seven days a week it certainly does not mean that you belong to Me or that I am pleased. MY WORD SAYS AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT I LOOK UPON THE HEART. You must learn to believe and understand that. When I look upon the hearts of many who sit in a church building they speak of Me with their lips but their hearts are far from Me. Do you not realize that is being a religionist but certainly not Christian?

Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6

When I come back, will I find faith? Luke 18:8

Have you ever wondered if God would ask this question if finding real faith were a common thing? In fact the way He asks it suggests He wonders if there would be any at all. Yet is this your perception? I do believe that we think differently of ourselves than God thinks of us when it comes to faith.

Note: Just before Jesus asks this question in Luke 18, He is talking about bringing justice to His people. He declares that one day God will indeed do this, but He then asks… will He find faith? I believe that the move of God that will bring justice to this world will cause many to see the truth about their faith. In my understanding it will be too late to do anything about it then. It is in the pre-Day of Judgment shakings that we are in the middle of even now, that our work must be done. Fill our lamps with the oil of intimacy that births in us the faith of Jesus.

Also note in Luke 18 that just after talking about this day when the Son of Man comes, He talks about those who are confident in their own righteousness.

Like I said, I do believe God is saying that we think differently of ourselves than He thinks of us when it comes to faith.

Acts 5:34-39

³⁴ Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; ³⁵ And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. ³⁸ And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: ³⁹ But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

The Civil War Prophecy

In 1996 Rick Joyner released a word titled Civil War in the Church. We posted that article on ETPV [www.etpv.org] and since that time have posted at least 8 other articles on the same subject. Here are a couple quotes from Joyner’s post.

Civil War in the Church Rick Joyner
http://www.etpv.org/1996-97/civwar.html  
from the Morning Star Prophetic Bulletin May 1996
On February 23rd of this year I was shown for the third time that the church was headed for a "a spiritual civil war." I was first given an impression of this in 1988. At the beginning of 1995 I saw it again in a dream, which I wrote down as The Hordes Of Hell, Part I. On February 23rd I was told that it was time to straightforwardly warn the church, and to begin preparing for this great war with the resolve to fight until there was a complete victory. The definition of a complete victory in this war would be the complete overthrow of the Accuser of the Brethren's strongholds in the church.
….
Philip Elston had a vision several years ago in which he saw the Lord standing with His arms outstretched. Soldiers in blue and gray uniforms were marching past Him on either side, and were laying their bloody swords on His arms. The Lord resolutely looked into the eyes of each one, saying, "No one who has their brother's blood on their sword will be used to build My house." We must never use our swords against our brothers, but only against the cords of evil that are binding them.

This dream was given to Rober Brownell who runs www.spiritlessons.com so you can find this dream posted on his site as well, in a section discussing isues relating to what has been dubbed the "Civil War" within the Church. This is his word:

Dream: “I saw the Lord’s church represented by a military base. Everybody had different positions and jobs. There were ground soldiers, fighter pilots, guards, captains, generals, etc. Everything looked fine and in order. But then I noticed something strange. Everyone was going about their duty when all of a sudden, a dispersed group of OUR ground soldiers (who happened to look like Storm Troopers) started marching in complete unity toward a specific area. This group was comprised of people from all different areas of the military base. They marched onto these wooden platforms that were high above the entrance of the airplane hanger. They marched in lock step, as though they were being given orders by some unseen force. The rest of us were amazed, and didn’t know what to make of this strange situation. When they got to the edge of these platforms they all pulled out their guns (AK-47s). I looked in amazement and said to myself, “What are you guys doing? Who are you responding to?” When the first airplane came out from the hanger, all the soldiers shot at it. There was no chance for our pilot. Such a hail of bullets came against him that the airplane was destroyed. The pilot could not go fast enough to escape. I thought, “BETRAYAL.” The rest of us who were not part of this group started running in fear. This group shot down one plane after another; it was a complete slaughter. All the pilots tried to go top speed out of this hanger, but they had no chance. We were losing all our best fighter pilots. In real terms, 1 pilot in the air was more powerful that 100 ground soldiers, but none of the pilots could ever get up.

“The DEATH of EIGHT BELLS at the Kentucky Derby

and ‘the cry at midnight’ in Matthew 25:6”

I have been shaken in the spirit by this event today in Kentucky [The Kentucky Derby on May 3, 2008], and the powerful implications for our nation [USA]. Please post this prophetic word as a warning.

Many of you may have watched the tragic event that unfolded at the Kentucky Derby. But what is more important is what the Lord is saying to us as a nation through this tragic event.

The EIGHTH BELL is the one that gets rung at “MIDNIGHT”!!

The term “Eight bells” can also be a way of saying that a sailor’s watch is over, for instance, in his or her obituary. It’s a nautical euphemism for “finished.”

On April 8th the Lord showed me an angel high over southern California holding a watch that said three seconds to midnight. The Lord told me the three seconds are 3 months.

There will be a “cry at midnight” on July 8th when the eighth bell strikes midnight, not any cry, but wailing, and weeping and a travail that will literally shake the earth!

I saw lions and a trainer in the middle of a ring. Some were going through rings of fire, others were sitting still. One roared and I saw the fierceness of its teeth and jaws. Looking at them made me realize how powerful lions are and even a swipe of a paw could crush a child and seriously wound an adult.

I believe the Lord is saying, “These are some of my Apostles in training. Some are still going through fire. It is imperative that each of My servants yield to me in every way. I must have a people who are listening to every word I say and are so sensitive to My Spirit that they will never move or speak outside of My leading. I desire to bring power to My church but I will not impart power to those who are not yielded completely to My Spirit. When I say, ‘Go and speak,’ or when I say, ‘Go and do,’ they must obey, but when I am not leading them they must sit and wait. I will release the power of My Spirit, but only to those completely yielded to Me, for the power of My Spirit is not to hurt or destroy My children but to rescue them and to destroy the works of the evil one.

“This training is also for their protection, many have gone outside the bounds of My instruction and direction and been wounded themselves, some severely.”

I Am Activating You For My Service

I am raising up an army, an army of soldiers who will obey Me as commander and chief. All of you are members of this army. Your primary weapon is love: My love in you. Let My love overflow into all your relationships, and even to strangers.

As you express this love, you will have opportunities to use the new spiritual gifts I have given you to heal the broken hearted, and set the captives free. I have prepared you for such a time as this.

Go!

Prepare

I have been active in your life, watching and waiting. I have been searching deep within your heart, to ignite and bring forth My prophets.

My kingdom is at hand, and I am activating the gifts that I have already placed within you. It has begun! PREPARE! PREPARE! PREPARE!

This is the day of new beginnings, of life springing forth from the Holy One of Israel. I am the fountain of pure life and truth. Reach forth from the innermost place which your spirit dwells and receive all that I have for you.

Cast off all the cares of the world. Cast off the lies from the wicked one, and rest in the One who loves you unconditionally. There is nothing you can do to separate yourself from My love; for I gave My life so that you can be free to receive life, health, and prosperity without limit.

Yes, I came to give you the abundant life — if you trade your life for Mine. For I came to live My life through My people that I may minister My truth to all. Abide within My living waters, and escalate to new heights in Me. This is the day I call you to abide in Me, that you may feast upon the hidden manna, the nuggets of truth of pure gold that I have for you. I call you to My side so I may feed you like calves in the stall. I draw you close, so that you may grow strong and be nourished; that you may stand through the storms of life.

The long appointed time is soon to arrive. Though the shakings still continue, and as I the Lord have told you, the shakings will always accompany the higher levels of My glory, you will know Me as I AM, the Holy One, the Righteous Redeemer of Israel. The time draws nigh that I shall indeed reunite My chosen ones fully into their rightful homeland. For surely, as your redemption draweth nigh, so shall theirs also.

Oh America, prepare for things you have only heard about in the distant lands of your ancestors. I shall dwell with My holy people and I shall be their God. For just as David desired the holy fire of God to be in the midst of himself and his people, I have heard the cries of the righteous of your land to make Myself known. I have heard the cries to show that I AM truly He who sits upon the throne! Let there be no doubt that I AM in full control of all that will go on in the coming days. Though My own will be in great revival and many will flood the doors of My house, there will also be a great falling away and calamities will strike the earth, as never before. For it is written, and it shall be fulfilled, just as My holy word declares.
