       Ariel Sharon Defended Israel like  a Lion: Israel’s former Prime Minister Remembered

LISTEN NOW! Greg, John, and Pat remember former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and how he was described as defending Israel like a lion.  Ariel Sharon passed away at the age of 85. They continue to share some of Ariel’s proud legacy of defending Israel and their expectation of the rising of the future Ariel Sharon.  He was a man who fought for Israel’s freedom and he held firm to the end.

      Prophesy 2014 The Roller Coaster Year and the Year the Apple Will Bloom

Greg, John, and Pat discuss recent prophetic words shared by Rick Joyner “Vision of a Roller Coaster and Bob Jones regarding “The Coming Promise and Peacemakers Will Fully “Bloom” by Spring.  They continue to share how they see trouble and worry for those who have made money and stuff their God.  However, God is playing taps over the idolatry because it is time for those things to die in the body of Christ at the same time He is playing reveille because He wants to awaken the church to righteousness.  They continue to share Rick Joyner’s word “Prophetic Roller Coaster” and how 2014 will be a year of ups and downs and also Bob Jones prophetic word about how the apples will bloom in the spring.  They continue to share how this will be some of the best of times and the worst of times and the only way to be able to make it is by holding tight to Jesus.

When I prayed for this coming year, I was shown a roller coaster. This means we will have ups and downs this year. I realize that hardly takes a prophet to predict, but the encouraging thing about this vision was that the ride ended at the highest point. We’re going higher this year! So don’t be discouraged by the dips. Hang on and know that we will be going up again soon.

          Our prophetic friend, Bob Jones, told us several months ago that it was going to be a very hard winter. I think this one has already qualified for that. As I am writing this in South Carolina, it is 8 degrees outside. I don’t remember it ever being that cold here. However, the great thing is that spring will certainly follow! The point is that we must hang on during any dips or hard times. They will come to pass, but they will pass! As Winston Churchill once said, “When you’re going through hell, keep going.” Keep going.

          The roller coaster I saw was very rickety. It did not seem that it could make it through another turn or the ups and downs. It held together though. I love roller coasters, but this one was not the kind I would get on voluntarily. We don’t have a choice, we are on it. Even the strongest systems of this world are very shaky, and most can only make it through another day because God is holding them together. He is doing this for our sakes, so we should never stop praying for them.

          In the vision, there was a platform at the end of this roller coaster ride. It did not look any stronger than the roller coaster, but as we walked across, it became stronger and stronger. On the other side, there was a beautiful, brilliantly glistening train which we boarded. It was the most beautiful and well-appointed train I’ve ever seen. However, as I boarded I saw that when it left the platform, it would enter a long, dark tunnel that I could not see the end of. Even so, the tunnel was going up, and this was a powerful, mountain-climbing train. We’re going up. It may be dark and a bit scary for a while, but we are going higher. That was the end of this vision.

          Trains often speak of training in dreams and visions. We may still be on a rickety old roller coaster, but the vehicle that is going to take us to where we must go will be training. This speaks to me of Ephesians 4—the equipping of the saints to do the work of the ministry. Even though it may take a while for us to see where we’re going (the long dark tunnel) we will be going up. This is the vehicle that will get us to where we must go.

          It is the nature of the faith walk to not be able to see where you’re going, but you should know what you’re looking for. The one who started the walk of faith, Abraham, did not know where he was going, but he did know what he was looking for—the city that God is building, not men…MORE

Vision of the Apple Tree

While in a time of praise, Bob saw an apple tree in full bloom. As he prayed for understanding the Lord revealed to him that many people have been in the bud. They have been waiting on promises that go back many, many years. Now the Lord is saying that before the apple tree blooms this spring, their buds shall bloom. Although some of them are ancient promises they will bloom in the spring before the apple tree does and they will begin producing the fruit of righteousness.

In the fruit of the spirit of prophecy, the apple represents peace. Therefore, this means that a lot of peacemakers shall bloom or come into their divine calling by this spring and they will bring forth the fruit that God has called them to bear. So get ready for the peacemakers to come forth with the fruit of God and reveal the Son of Peace to the world.  The peacemakers that are coming forth in this next season are those who can make peace between the human soul and the Father. As they reveal the Father’s love to the human soul, it will bring stability to the Body in every way. Through the administration of these peacemakers, first and foremost, they will bring man’s soul into the place where it can enter into the peace of God. And this peace is beyond all human understanding. They will also enter into the love of God, which will create the fruit that He wants produced in the Body now. This is literally the beginning of the fruit that’s needed for harvest.

And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

Peace beyond understanding is what God is offering us. Unfortunately much of the Body has seen the Father from a wrong perspective. They see Him as the cruel master and judge instead of being the God of love and justice. Ninety-five percent of the Body of Christ thinks the Father is the judge that is squashing them all the time. They accuse the Father of bringing calamity and traumatic situations where in fact it is satan.

The Father simply removes His hand where He is no longer welcome. But now we will begin to see Him as He really is; LOVE and love beyond any expectation of love. When we have peace with the Father then the bloom will begin to turn into fruit. And this fruit will begin to come forth this year yielding more next year and even more the following year.

The Lord has opened His armory, and has brought out the weapons of His indignation; for this is the work of the Lord God of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. Jeremiah 50:25 God is arming the Body of Christ with weapons of His divine love that the enemy has no defense against. We’ll begin to see the army of God come together in unity, a common union, to where the enemy will have to leave entire cities. This army is getting ready to take entire cities and eventually entire states. In certain places in the world, they’ll take entire nations.

This is the year the army of God comes together with angels beyond number and weapons that cannot be defeated by the enemy. Angels are here now preparing the Body for the harvest and there will be a mighty victory. This year, even the blooming of the trees is something that satan can’t stop from happening.

In a vision Bob was shown the armory of God that is now open and the Father is releasing weapons of warfare that has never been available to man before. In this vision there were weapons put into my hands that terrorized me to even touch them. There’s nothing in the entire world that can withstand what the Father is bringing out of His armory. Some of the first things He will deal with are in Jeremiah 51. In fact the first thing He’ll deal with is the Church that’s been withstanding Him.

Jeremiah 51:20-25:

You [Cyrus of Persia, soon to conquer Babylon] are My battle-ax or maul and weapon of war–for with you I break nations in pieces, with you I destroy kingdoms, with you I break in pieces the horse and his rider, with you I break in pieces the chariot and the charioteer, with you I break in pieces man and woman, with you I break in pieces old man and youth, with you I break in pieces young man and maiden, with you I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock, with you I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen, and with you I break in pieces governors and commanders.

And I will [completely] repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all the evil that they have done in Zion–before your very eyes [I will do it], says the Lord. Behold, I am against you, says the Lord, O destroying mountain [which is burning out, you who will be as barren and desolate as an extinct volcano], you who [would] destroy the whole earth. I will stretch out My hand over and against you and roll you down from the [burnt] crags and will make you a burnt-out mountain [of combustive fires].

What He’s doing right now in the Church is uniting whosoever will with one another. Because these weapons that are being released cannot be handled by one person. It will take teams to handle them and usually teams consist of about twelve people. These teams will be united with one purpose in mind and when they go to war they will make decrees and declarations according to the heart of the Father. These decrees will be established according to the will of the Father (Job 22:28).

You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.  This is what I see; the blooming of the apple tree will be our blooming in the spirit and worshipping the Father in spirit and in truth. It’s our human soul making peace by the knowledge of the Truth. It’s bringing the soul in submission to the spirit and allowing the spirit man to be in control of our conscience (actions, deeds and thoughts). Then the Body will understand the Father’s divine nature – love. He loves you! Scripture plainly shows that God loves us; it’s His nature because He is LOVE (1 John 4:8). The peacemakers’ entire nature will be characterized by His love and love will be the fruit they bear.

Now come the peacemakers and they make peace with God and with man. They show the Father’s nature, LOVE! The love of the Father is all authority to His sons and daughters. I don’t know how fast the fruit is going to mature after they bloom. But I do know that by the middle of May the blooms will be over and the fruit will begin. And from what I see, this fall will be awesome.

       Is Sports Your God?

 Greg, John, and Pat ask the question if sports is your God?  They share about a minister who has been reported that he preached a one minute sermon so he can watch his team the San Francisco 49ers play football.  He breezed through what he had to say and at the end of his message he opened up his robe showing his San Francisco 49ers t-shirt.  They continue to ask questions like do you know more sports stats than you do the Bible? They continue to share that sports in and of itself is not bad it’s the worship of sports, teams and players over God that is wrong.   We were all created to worship the question is who are you worshiping and are you worshiping the true God, Jesus Christ.

      Water shortages West Virginia Coming to the End

 Greg, John, and Pat discuss the water shortages in West Virginia and how they are coming to an end.  CBN reports that “Five days after a toxic chemical spilled into West Virginia’s water system, residents may soon be able to use their tap water again.  The crisis started last Thursday when about 7,500 gallons of a toxic chemical used to process coal leaked into the Elk River, contaminating the water supply in the heart of the state.”  They continue to discuss how we must not assume that “man” is providing for us but instead that our provision comes from the Lord.  They further discuss how vulnerable we are when one company can affect nine counties.  It is like God is lifting his fingers off of us and we are encountering the consequences from turning our backs on God.   They also discuss how this can also be an attempt to create a narrative against the coal industry.  None the less they encourage us to put our dependency in God and Him alone.

      BREAKING NEWS: New Mexico Middle School Shooting: What is Going On?

 Greg, John and Pat discuss breaking news on air as they share regarding the school shooting that took place in a middle school in New Mexico.  They continue to share how we are facing the consequences of removing God out of our schools.  When we turn our hearts away from God we have seen guns turned on us and our children.  They discuss the culture of violence that exist today when the day after the DC Navy Yard shooting took place Grand Theft Auto V allegedly went on to sell $1 billion on this violence and gun crazed game.  We are not living in what some call a typical season but in fact there is nothing typical of the times in which we are living.  They encourage us not to buy into the media circus and to spend time seeking God and pray for God to have mercy on America.
