Following is a list of prophetic words. The first was written by me as I viewed the significance of two different carnival tragedies that relate to the current ‘revival’ in Lakeland, Florida, at Morningstar Ministries, and the other places to which it has spread. The others were sent to me, some written by people who receive this mailing, and some by others. If you have time, I invite you to read them all, and listen to the audio file at the bottom. The impact of the Spirit is powerful upon much that is declared here.

Responding to a brother named David Weber, I wrote the following:

I found it interesting that there have been two prominent disasters this past week regarding carnival rides. As I shared before the word Carnival means "flesh rising." Bob Jones, a prophet associated with Rick Joyner and Morningstar, offered what he viewed as a positive prophetic word over this present "revival" comparing it to a three ring circus.

BOB JONES: “So what’s going on? 25 years ago I brought a prophesy. The prophesy then was that the greatest showing on earth was going to begin. I would live to see it. It would be a 3 ring circus.”

Sadly, he is right. What is going on is a three ring circus, but the circus atmosphere is not from the HOLY Spirit, but from unclean sprits.

Following are links to the two carnival disasters. You will note much of prophetic significance in these events. The first one occurred near "Angels Camp" and when the ride collapsed many children (spiritually immature) were injured. Specifically, their feet were injured (their walk was damaged) and they became entangled in the rides chains (bondage to deceiving spirits).
The second event occurred at a Catholic Church that was holding a festival. The parishioners were setting up "carnival type rides" when a gunman approached and began shooting people. Three people were injured before the gunman was tackled. He mocked those who were trying to tackle him even as he was being subdued. Sadly, in a prophetic foreshadowing of this carnival atmosphere revival that is going on, the Catholic church said they were going to re-open the festival on Sunday as they felt it would help their people to get over their trauma and grief. This is a picture of looking to "thrills" instead of "relationship" with Christ to meet man's spiritual and physical needs. The gunman used a .22 caliber rifle, 22 being the number of judgment on the man of flesh. The vent occurred near Los Angeles, which of course means "the Angels."

The Spirit is speaking. I hope there are some who are listening.

THIS PAST WEEK WHILE I WAS READING VARIOUS NEWS REPORTS THE HOLY SPIRIT CONFIRMED TO ME THAT OUR NATION IS HEADED TOWARD A SCENARIO WORSE THAN THAT OF THE DEPRESSION OF THE 30'S. THE STANDARD OF LIVING WE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO NOW WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER..... NEVER TO BE RETURNED TO. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE WE ACT QUICKLY TO PREPARE OUR HOUSEHOLDS. ANY PREPARTION (FINANCIAL OR PHYSICAL) MUST NOT BE DONE OUT OF FEAR BUT UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

ALSO, OUR CONFIDENCE/TRUST MUST NOT BE IN WHAT WE'VE READIED BUT IN OUR KING YAHSHUA WHO OWNS A CATTLE ON A THOUSAND HILLS! THE "BANK OF HEAVEN" WILL ALWAYS HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO MEET OUR EVERY NEED IN THE DAYS AHEAD. PRAISE YAHWEH THAT HE HAS CALLED US OUT OF DARKNESS AND GIVEN US HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT.

Hello,
Thank you for sending the post titled Be Wise As Serpents. I couldn't agree with you more. I too have been receiving many dreams and warnings from the Lord regarding a financial crisis. One of the repeating dreams is about empty store shelves and military personnel actually roaming the stores to keep order. Also, about 5 years ago, I was kind of obsessed with trying to lose about 10 pounds. Then one day as clear as can be, I heard a voice say to me, "Stop worrying over this diet! Soon, there will be a day when there won't be enough food in this country". I firmly believe that voice was the Holy Spirit.

I've tried to warn a few other Christians about these dreams but most either think I'm off my rocker or they think I'm full of fear and try to clam me. Neither, of course, is true. I have complete confidence in the Lord's protection over His people. But, like you, I think we need to know of the danger so we can be wise as serpents. It is my prayer that others will see the truth and turn to Jesus!
God bless,
Sarah B.

Brother Joseph,
You are a blessing to me. As I said I am not (in my understanding ) a prophet, yet I do get Words from time to time. Last night after I was studying and before I went to sleep, the following message came to me. As a prophet, I ask you to look over it and let me know if it is from God. I fear my flesh. I have a friend who prophesizes out of her flesh and does not even know it. I do not want to do that. Anyhow would you look at this?

‘The time is coming; it is near, when I will call my people out of their hidden places; out of the caves and clefts, out of the wilderness and desert. A might army I am gathering. Warriors of every description, I am calling. The old will receive strength again; the young will gain might and wisdom. Listen, hear the sound of the shofar.

Come gather to me. Receive what I am about to impart. A new day is coming’ is now here. The weak will fall by the wayside and be trampled to death. The babies will have not one to feed them. Strengthen yourselves now. The time is coming when my bread will be hidden in your garment. It will be doled out carefully only to those hunger and thirst for me. It will not be scattered about as in past days and treated as common fare. My bread is precious to those who have it; but ludicrous to those who know me not. My bread gives strength to those that I call; but curdles the stomach of those who know me not.

Strengthen yourselves now. Grow fat on my Word. Hide it in your heart. Only my Word will carry you through what is to come. It is the Sword of my Spirit. It is the Light for your path. Immerse yourself. Feed hungrily. Arm yourself for the Day of the Lord is at hand.

Hold fast, for I am coming soon. The days have been counted out. Each one is being marked off the calendar. It is the season of my retribution--flood, famine, war destruction.

I have been mocked by my enemies while my people have stood in silence. If my people do not stand for me, why should I stand for them. They look the other way when My Name is profaned; they do not hear when my character is defamed. When adversity strikes, the grasp their rabbits foot, four leafed clover ,their crystals, their amulets; they look to the stars and to mediums, to sorcer and sorceress, witch and warlock; they call on angels and demons. They never call for me. I am just a fairy story to them—a tale told on mothers lap.

Do not doubt that I am coming. Those who ridiculed, those who doubted, those who stood idly by, those who condemned me will all see me. I will not hide my face forever. Those who stand strong; holding onto me and my word will triumph with me. The others will feel my wrath and judgment. I am coming. Are you sealed by my Spirit? Are you one with me? Take my mark, my shame and humiliation. Only then will you rule and reign with me.”

This morning I was in the Word and prayer. I was taken to Isaiah and Job.

Isaiah 3:10 “Tell the righteous it will be with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their works”
Isaiah 4”12 “In that the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel.”

Isaiah:5-6 “Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and those who assemble there, a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy. It will be a shelter and a shade from the heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

Oh, how I long for Christ. I used to say “Lord, wait a little while; there are so many lost; now my heart just says come quickly Lord Jesus. I will share the Lord with anyone who will listen. Most do not want to hear. They shut the door on the word of The Lord, on hope of salvation. So now AI just pray “ Lord, your will be done, in all this earth, your kingdom come. Come quickly Lord Jesus.”

My spirit yearns for Him more than my body yearns for food and water. There is much that I desire’ but nothing more than Him.

Job 29:25:-27 “I know that my Redeemer lives and that in the end He will stand on the earth. Though my skin be destroyed, yet in my flesh, I will see God. I, myself, will see him with my own eyes--I and not another. How my heart yearns within me.

I have known for a long time that a time of devastation is coming; a time when the weeds will be plucked from God’s garden; a time when those who claim to be His will be tested unto and sometimes through death. This will be worldwide. Truly, unless we are willing to give up this life for Him, we will never see Him.

He says “The furnace is stoked. The fire is hot. I am ready for my people. The dross, the chaff, the weeds and thorns will all burn away. All that is left is a pure and Holy people, completely dedicated to me. They will seek no other. They will know me. They are mine. They are bought and sealed through eternity. They sing ‘Holy, Holy, Holy’ all the day. They rest in my arms and peace is theirs—peace and joy and love enfolds them. They are mine. I love them with everlasting love—they have been through the fire and are purified.”

If this is right on you have my permission to share it, otherwise let me know where I am out of whack. I appreciate your help. Truly, I desire only to do God’s will and not my own

Joseph,
I just received your blog by email about the "revival" and the ungodly works of the flesh of the spirit that has taken over that particular ministry as well as others. Very insightful indeed.
Let me share with you something that happened this weekend...

This weekend as I sipped on a mug of earl grey tea and settled in for some serious learning from The Lord, I knew in my spirit that it would not be pleasant. He would get a hold of me with an example meant to teach and refine. I was absorbing the many pages of majesty from a book The Lord lead me to pick up at the local bookstore. "The Art of Being a Lion."

I settled into a chapter of pure and savage destruction. The Lord gently reminded me, "Cover your head." I was used to this as The Lord had taught me one of the things he wanted for me to understand as a woman was contained in 1 Corinthians 11:5-13.

As I looked past the carnage of new male introduction into a pride of females, I started to cry, as my heart broke, as the text described the female lionesses allowing this new male to tear apart and kill their cubs! For you see...They were not his!

I cried out, " Oh Lord this is not a picture of you! You are The Lion of Judah, but not like this!"
The Lord spoke," AREN'T I EXACTLY LIKE THIS?"

"No, I insisted, You are loving and kind and only show judgement to wickedness! Those cubs are not wicked, they're innocent!"

ARE THE FRUITS OF YOUR FLESH INNOCENT? The Lord probed.

That is when I realized, as The Lord painted the picture of what He was about, that my heart could not embrace the savage destruction the male lion was capable of. The Lord spoke again. " WHEN YOU EMBRACE ME INTO YOUR LIFE, AND YOUR HEART SUBMITS TO ME, THE FIRST THING I WILL DO IS CLEAN HOUSE! THAT WHICH IS NOT MINE, ALL THE FRUITS OF YOUR FLESH, WILL BE UTTERLY DESTROYED BEFORE YOUR FACE. I WILL CREATE NEW FRUIT IN YOU THAT WILL BE PLEASING TO ME. YOU IN TURN WILL BE MINE, A NEW CREATION CALLED BY MY NAME."

A male lion will patrol an area to see if this group pride is where he wants to settle in. He first battles the dominant male who is currently present. We all know who that male is that The Lord competes with! Then the New Male destroys the fruit the old male has produced. At the age of 37, I allowed this Lion of Judah into my PRIDE :) and He tore me up while I watched and the savage destruction and the tears were well worth it!

Thank you Joseph for all your hard work and the journey you continue to share and teach with!

PEARL HARBOR
James Kehrli (http://cryfromthewall.com/index.html)

In December of 1984, about a week after I purchased an old 1940 Cadillac sedan, I was driving around thinking about times gone by, particularly the time before and during World War II. Suddenly I heard the Lord say to me, very softly, "It's 1940 and Pearl Harbor is coming up for the Church.” I thought about betrayal, warfare, death and awakening! I prayed to the Lord about it and He began to reveal to me more about Pearl Harbor. He reminded me of a scene from the film Tora Tora Tora in which one of the Japanese military leaders remarked, after their attack on Pearl Harbor, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." I thought about the Church finally waking up to her true condition. I thought about the terrible price our country paid, in the 1940's to wake up to the realities of the world political situation. The price was human life, suffering, and destruction. But we did wake up. I thought about December 8, 1941 when we declared war against the Axis powers. Before that time we were sending arms, supplies and money to our allies, but we were not sending men to help fight. We watched China, the Pacific Islands, France and much of Europe fall to Germany, Italy, and Japan, but we were not personally affected so we did not enter the warfare. It took a catastrophic event to wake us up.

I prayed about and meditated on what I had heard until May of 1985, when I again heard from God during a baptismal service in our Church. The person to be baptized was an older lady who was quite concerned, even a little frightened, about being fully immersed. But she, after fifty years of disobedience and rebellion against God, desired to be baptized for the first time. Right before I was going to enter the water with her, a message in tongues came forth from my wife. The Lord gave me the interpretation by means of the following vision. This vision describes a future time of great hardship and great blessing for the Body of Christ.

He showed me a deep harbor with blue-green water that was clear and calm. There was a Person in the water. This Person was not swimming or standing, but just floating in an upright position. He was motionless, like a sailing ship listing in a windless sea. Many Japanese Zero aircraft came in from the east and proceeded to dive-bomb and strafe the body in the water and the body began to slowly sink. Eventually the body was entirely under the water. As he went down, I could see that there were many little people on this Body. As this Body sank deeper into the water, many of these small people jumped off just before they were about to enter the water. There were thousands of people jumping off and swimming away from this slow but steadily sinking Body. Some of these people jumped onto beds, which the Lord made clear to me were beds of adultery, and floated away off to the left. Others jumped onto whiskey bottles and paddled away; still others jumped on books, while others swam off on their own strength. All of the people were floating, swimming or paddling in the same direction. I looked over in that direction, which was to my left, and I saw an extremely beautiful, gigantic woman, with skin and clothing of a deep reddish purple hue standing solidly on the harbor floor. She stretched out her arms toward the sinking Body and got the attention of many as she very sweetly, seductively, and sincerely called out, "Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you WHAT YOU WANT!

The people who were jumping off were in a panic, like rats leaving a sinking ship. Some scurried to higher ground on the Body, going from the shoulders to the ears and finally jumping off the top of the head right before it went under. It was clear that THEY DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE THIS BODY, but it was equally clear that they were not going down under the water with it either. The Body now was completely under the water, sinking steadily toward the bottom. Some of the little people hung on as it sank, but after a few seconds of holding their breath, they gave up, swam for the top, gulped a mouth full of air, and swam off toward the woman.

The apparently lifeless Body sank deeper and deeper into the clear blue-green water. As it sank I could see at the bottom of the harbor a beautiful, large, perfect pearl - obviously of great value. It was supernaturally large and beautiful, lustrous, pure and round. As I watched, I could see the Body change shape from that of a single being, with little people desperately hanging on it, to many little individual people swimming deep enough to get to this beautiful Pearl. As they went deeper, many chose to quit and swim to the surface for air and life and then go over to the beautiful woman. All who quit diving eventually swam over to the beautiful woman.

Finally, I saw a number of these small people swim to the Pearl and touch it, and embrace it. But to do this, everyone who dove down reached a point when they realized that their own natural ability to hold their breath and dive deeper would not be enough. Those who dove down and touched this Pearl all came to understand that they would have to expend all of their natural strength before they touched and embraced the Pearl of Great Price. This did not keep them from diving down though, because the closer they got to the Pearl, the
more of His beauty they saw. I saw many touch and embrace the Pearl and then immediately shoot straight up. As each of these little people shot up from the floor of the Harbor, each had the Pearl. As this group of individuals rose higher and higher, they all became one Body again. By the time these Pearl-laden people reached the surface they burst forth from the waters as one Body, the Body of Christ. These people were manifestly His own possession and they in turn possessed the Pearl of Great Price, Jesus Christ Himself.

As the Lord was showing me this beautiful picture, He spoke to me and said, "Even as Jesus came out of the waters of baptism, so My Body will come out of Pearl Harbor with a new and powerful anointing of My Holy Spirit, and a new and deadly power to fight the enemy.” He said that there indeed would come upon the Church of Jesus Christ a Pearl Harbor experience like the United States experienced on December 7, 1941. He said that when the Body of Christ begins to sink under the water, because of a soon-coming, devastating attack of the enemy, MANY will choose to desert our Lord Jesus Christ because they do not esteem the Pearl of Great Price (Jesus Himself) worth the price - death to their own selfish desires. They will not make the selfless effort of love to dive deeply enough to embrace Him because they do not love Him more than their own lives. Many will choose not to identify with what they assume is a defeated individual or group. They look upon themselves as winners and will not identify with a Jesus that is apparently being defeated. They will choose to identify with the beautiful woman of the harbor who gives them what they want. As the vision revealed, many who leapt off the sinking Body because the woman of the harbor promised them success. Because of this they went to her. Many others did not feel that it was necessary to pay such a high price to apprehend Jesus, and they felt that the beautiful woman would give them Jesus on their own terms.

As the Body of Christ came out of the waters of death, the Lord said that His Body was now fully alive and would now fight the enemy with purpose and real anointing. Also His Body would now use only supernatural weaponry. He spoke so clearly to me about the weapons. He said, "Even as the United States entered the Second World War using conventional weapons to fight the enemy, and ended the war with the atomic bomb, a weapon beyond their comprehension; so My people will begin this spiritual war with conventional weapons in the Spirit, but by the end of this war to end all wars, they will be using atomic bombs of the Spirit.” The Lord made it clear that we will come out of the water equipped with God-given anointing to REALLY heal the sick,
work miracles, and deliver those in demonic bondage. He also made it clear that before the warfare ends, we will be moving in a dimension of spiritual warfare that is unimaginable to us now. We will do greater works than Jesus did and we will see the demon hordes routed like never before.

After this message in tongues and interpretation was given, my attention turned back to the woman who was to be baptized. Then the Lord said that the Pearl Harbor experience for His Church would be similar to this woman's baptism. I closely watched this baptism to see what the Lord meant. The woman was very nervous and quite afraid of going under the water. I assured her that she would be all right. After several moments of prayer and a short teaching on what baptism represented, she was plunged underneath the water. She came out of the water with her hands lifted up, praising God. I had not told anyone what the Lord told me about this woman's baptism, because I did not know exactly what was going to happen. When she recovered her composure, she began to testify about what had just happened to her. She said that she was extremely fearful at first, but that when she got under the water a Beautiful Peace swept through her, and all her fear was gone. This beautiful peace became joy as she came out of the water and she praised God for His great comfort, love and mercy.

I believe that God was showing us that we need not fear what He will put us through. His purpose is to bring us peace, joy, cleansing and power. He was also showing us that His Church will go through a baptism. It is a baptism of the Body of Christ. It is a death and a resurrection. We must trust Him to bring us out of this watery tomb of death and into the glorious resurrection power of His Son. We must understand that a harbor is a place of SAFETY and REFUGE. God's people who are involved in these events will need to be safe and protected. The Harbor of the Pearl of Great Price is the only harbor that will provide refuge and safety, and ALL who believe will be more than willing to pay the price of dying to their own desires.

Pearl Harbor is the death and resurrection of the Body of Christ, being prepared to do His work in His way, with His heart. It is the final separation of David from Saul - the David Church being purified and separated from the Saul Church. It is the final AWAKENING blast of the trumpet of God to rouse His people for battle. It is the judgment that begins with the house of the Lord. It is the refining fire that separates the gold from the dross. It will be preceded by the Lord dealing with His true people to both survive and desire this final preparation for battle. It is the promise of unmatched power and purity: power over sin, power over the enemy, power to live a much more virtuous life, and power to glorify our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Even now, God is dealing with those in the David Church even as God dealt with David. Whenever David would start to fall asleep to God's purity and purpose, the Lord would abruptly DEAL with David to AWAKEN him. God did not waste this kind of effort on Saul because Saul CHOSE to be asleep to God and His desires.

Pearl Harbor is a warning of betrayal and disaster. The Church in the past has gone through many Pearl Harbors of betrayal and disaster. Jesus was betrayed and killed and rose again. English Puritans experienced Pearl Harbor in the early 17th century and survived because they could not obey the law that the Church of England tried to force them to obey. They fled England and eventually sailed to the New World, where they laid the spiritual foundation for what eventually became one of the greatest revivals in the history of the world. John Bunyan, wrote Pilgrim's Progress at the bottom of the harbor as he was betrayed by his own country and thrown in jail for not attending the services of the Church of England and for preaching in a way that did not conform to this church’s liturgy. Had he given in and done that which they asked, he could have been a free man. But for conscience sake he chose not to do so. Because of this uncompromising obedience to the Scriptures and to God Himself, he was able to rise to the highest place in the history of Christian literature. Today he still blesses us with the fruit of that resurrection power.

To those who are not awake and prepared, Pearl Harbor will come suddenly and tragically, as a thief in the night, and they will be swept away to Great Deception. To those who are more open to the will of God than they are to pleasing religious men, it will be an expected ordeal, a call to arms, and a prelude to great victory. The initial stages will be the harbinger of the greatest move of God in history: the greatest Revival and the greatest manifestation of Christian Unity that the world has ever known.
