A Warning for the Hoover Dam

Rivers are arteries that bring life to a land and the LORD wants the waters and lands reclaimed for His Glory.

In prayer I saw the Hoover Dam and the LORD prompted me to go back into archives from back in 1998 to release some words that need to be heard NOW and written and prayed over diligently.

This is the second time I have received this warning. This is very serious as the LORD has revealed to me that the Hoover Dam is one of the targets of terrorists that would have catastrophic effects.

I have no access to terrorists, neither do I know any.  I received this directly from the HOLY SPIRIT after fasting and prayer.

I will relate some historical data so you will understand better.  It is my hope that we all pray!  I know that judgment comes on a nation who forgets him.  However, as we pray and obey, God can forgive and he can change things and relent.

Intercessors/ warriors as you read this realize, we have received intelligence from the Holy Spirit.  God will reveal things of the enemy plans in the Kings bed chamber.

We have received a reprieve in our nation, and God has given America another chance.  It is up to the church, especially the intercessors to break through into the heavens and wage war with the demons sent against this nation.  Please heed this warning, pray and intercede and for this nation.  As the church goes, will be how the nation goes!  May we pray urgently!

I wrote this prophecy originally written on July 18, 1998.

“The spirit of avenging had been trying to cloud the revelations, but now I feel this is the time to reveal them.There will be historical data mixed into this article that the LORD prompted me to give.

VISION:

I saw an angel with a horn in flight and I heard, “Herald.”  I saw a microscope that I believe means, microscopic revealing.  Looking down from up above, I saw the color midnight blue, then I saw a huge dam in between two mountains.  I then heard “Hoover dam.”

Personally I never heard or seen Hoover dam or read about it at that time.  I did some research and found some interesting information on it.  The pictures of it were exactly what I saw in the vision.

At first, I was above looking down at the reservoir of water from above, and the shadows of the mountains made the water look midnight blue.  Further into the vision I was standing at the bottom of river, looking up and it was massive in height and size.

The LORD had me look up some information on the dam.

“The dam is near Boulder city Nevada very close to Las Vegas and Arizona.  The dam was built during the Great Depression in Black Canyon during adverse conditions.  Thousands of men and their families came to Black Canyon to “tame” the Colorado River.  It took almost five years to complete.  The American Society of Civil Engineers call this dam “One of Americas seven modern Civil Engineering Wonders.”Authorized purposes for this dam are,

  1. Flood control,
  2. Improvement of navigation and regulation of the Colorado River,
  3. Storage and delivery of Colorado River waters for reclamation of public lands and other beneficial uses exclusive within the USA,
  4. Hydroelectric power production.

There are 2 spillways on each side of the canyon.  To the north of the dam is Lake Mead, which has enough water to cover Connecticut, ten feet deep.

One of the amazing sights at Hoover dam is the winged figures which stand guard on each side of the flag.  The artist gave them the look of eagles.  The artist called them “The winged figures of the Republic.  The artist was a Norwegian born naturalized American.

The upward thrust of the eagles wings and the powerful arms, are a symbolic gesture of the readiness for defense of our institutions and a reminder that our spiritual eagles are ever ready to be on the wing. The creator of these figures said, “They express the immutable calm of intellectual resolution, and the enormous power of trained physical strength, equally enthroned in placid triumph of scientific accomplishment.””

Hears what the Sovereign LORD says,

“Who can harness the winds and make them obey?  Who can harness the waters and make them obey?  

A dam is a barrier to prevent the flow of water.  I say prepare My people that have been made ready for flood control!  When the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the LORD shall raise up a standard against him.  I have been tempering some of you in the back side of barren lands.  A people who will release the flow when I say.”

Rivers are arteries that bring life to a land and the LORD wants the waters and lands reclaimed for His Glory.

The power that is harnessed by hydroelectric generators brings much light, heat and other energy sources to a land.  The dam harnesses the power of the river to create energy for positive purposes.

Produced power creates much light that covers a greater area.  Above the dam is a great reservoir and below is a river that moves through the land all the way to the Pacific ocean.

Prophesy interpretation:

I believe above the dam speaks of the magnitude of power God wants to release, but at the current time, He can only release a trickle as represented by the river beneath.  The spillways speak of our overflow from our Spiritual Union with Christ, that adds to the river beneath to be carried on to others.

The winged eagle figures speak of the keepers of the gates and the calm resolution of Trust in God and of the power of trained Godly strength as they are humbly submitted in triumph of Gods accomplishments.

The dam was named after Herbert Hoover the 31st president of the United States.  He was considered by many a scapegoat of the Great Depression and all that seemed wrong with America.

The Colorado River is one of the most important water systems in the United States. Draining watersheds from seven western states, it is divided into two major districts, the Upper Basin comprised of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico, and the Lower Basin formed by Nevada, Arizona, and California.  With its headwaters in Colorado and its mouth flowing into the Gulf of California, this river serves as a focal point for both prehistoric and historic events in the west.

I believe there is something very prophetic to future events about this river and dam. Let us continue to watch this river and dam prayerfully.

Prophetic meaning:

I believe lean times are coming..  I’ve seen drought, famine, fires, storms etc.  “We” the true church like the Hoover Dam, will have the ability like Joseph’s storehouse to release provision in every area. The key is the unifying work of the Spirit.

If something ever happened to the Hoover dam, or if the Colorado River was to ever dry up, the ramifications would be catastrophic.  Could it ever happen?

God is one who holds the winds and the waters.  He holds the keys of every gateway.

His promise of provision is for the righteous and those who love His Word.

Even in famine the LORD provided for Elijah at the brook Cherith.  But when the brook dried up, the LORD sent him to a widow woman and God multiplied the offering of food to where the oil never ran out and the jar of meal did not fail, all the time the famine raged.  They ate many days.

I believe we must remember to sow now and to continue to build up the Storehouse in heaven.  For if we haven’t sown in good times, how are we going to sow in bad times.”

Becoming Jaded or Accepted

Becoming a child of God is a high honor to God

We tend to judge others, because they are so different from the way we see things or do things.

Or others may have a seemingly successful ministry and people become jealous or think they are the sheriffs to the body of Christ to handle those poor misinformed souls.  The judgmental actions taken therefore with words speak; This must be wrong!

To have unity and love makes us function as a true part of our body, which all parts are a necessity.  I hate the division, and this is my personal way I see things.

I consider myself a child of God, period.  No man can come to Jesus unless they become “like” little children.  I remember never having an enemy as a child.  I obeyed Daddy because I love and trust him.

I ask God to keep me innocent, so that I remain humble.  A child knows other children and play together and there is no issue of race, creed, belief etc..  A child remains close to ABBA, because they only know the love of Abba.

Through hurts, shame and being among negative people and other issues, we can become JADED.  Through our growing up experiences, they teach us that we cannot trust Abba or others.  A child doesn’t have to know everything.  AND…. I don’t know much, because I want to sit on Abbas lap and listen to his heart.  I want to sit at his feet and learn from HIS heart and hand.

There are many things that I don’t need to know, unless ABBA tells me.  Just as in our growth to child-likeness, we learn to decrease and He must increase.  YES we must decrease!

We grow to places of service through humility.  God can really trust a child-like soul because they love Abba.  A child is always humble, young in nature and character.  A place where there is no jealousy, envy, strife, etc..  We are simple as a child.

When we remain lowly and child-like, means we don’t have to know EVERYTHING, but just obey as Abba says.  He gives us his approval daily.  He is a good, great Father, so I can trust him always and remain his child-like servant.

I love my ABBA Father and it always pleases me when he loves me and has to correct my steps and takes time to correct me when I need it.  HE is my shield and my exceeding great reward.  It is all about falling so in love with the Lord.

He chooses to give us freedom to choose.  Becoming a child of God is a high honor to God.  Many take the road of pride.  God knows how to humble us.  May we all take a loving stance with our brothers and sisters and take things to prayer instead of using our words to assassinate them.  Be quick to hear slow to speak and slow to wrath

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your soul,”   James 1:19-21KJV.

The War and World of Words

Let us not assassinate our brother! Don’t get involved in the devils agenda’s; Unless you are going to confront it, bring closure and settle the matter

When we speak against our brother, we speak against ourselves!  When we are in a “group,” gossip and slander are mixed with words that kill, steal and destroy.

It matters not who should say something, even if you are silent.  We are known by the company we keep and the words we speak.  Don’t engage in a battle you can never win!

If you have the spiritual maturity, and carry weight and know better, we are accountable before God.  We must understand and beware of what we allow ourselves to listen to, and what situations we put ourselves in, speak and chat about.

Whatever means of communication we use, remember the enemy will line up to the content, long enough to make us think we are hearing the real deal!  The Word of God is always the real deal!  Line up to that!

Once that happens, we have opened the door against ourselves and others that may not understand!  The one with the maturity, ends up lining up with the deception, then once that happens, we speak words that we have no business speaking.  When we curse with our words we are doing the devils business and he sits up watching this horrid civil war with glee!

Learn to look at the root cause in a brother and in this war of words.  Realize that person really didn’t mean what they said!  Know a brother by his or her consistency as a follower of Christ.

Know them by their words and fruits; Fruits of the Spirit, and fleshly fruits.  It takes time to know a persons consistency in Christ.  As we grow in maturity we begin to see various levels.  We can recognize levels we once walked in.

Before honor comes humility.  All Honor belongs to Him who sits on the throne! He is able to abase those that are haughty, and pride comes before a fall.

  1. Our growth to child-likeness, is our end result with God!
  2. We will cast our crowns at his feet one day.
  3. We grow to places of service through humility. He must increase and we decrease!
  4. Innocence through humility! I ask God to Keep me innocent so I remain humble.

This walk is the opposite to our secular lives.  Everyone says to be an over achiever, climb the ladder of success no matter how many heads you step or stomp on!  The kingdom of God is opposite.  It is ALL about Him!

The growth we achieve through this natural world is nothing, compared to our inheritance which is stored up in heaven.  We came into this world with nothing, and we will exit with nothing.  That inheritance is eternally stored up as HE lives through us!

The object is to host the LORD on the throne of our heart.  What an honor we have!  To host the King of Kings and LORD of LORDs on our very own heart!

To HIM who sits on the throne and unto the Lamb, be blessings, glory, honor and power forever!

As we abide in the Word of God, by reason of use, our senses are exercised to discern good and evil.  Beloved of God, we can learn a lot by watching, being silent and listening!  There is wisdom in silence as we listen for His still, small voice.

God must be able to trust us before he releases us to minister to others.  We will die a thousand deaths.  We are supposed to die daily to our flesh.  Picking up our cross and following HIM everyday. As a friend shared with me, “we are dead men walking.”  Dying to self does not appeal to the flesh of man.  However we learn, grow and know it is part of Gods plan for us.

We ALL fall and mess up.  Don’t cut off a brother unless the LORD moves you away from them.  It does not mean something is wrong with you or with them!  He moves us to where we will fit the best.  Some friends don’t last in your life.

YES, Satan sets us up for a fall.  Many times our adversary just goes along with the program until he gains our authority.  Yes!  The enemy gains ground in our lives when we let him.  He wants us to give our authority to his agenda.  So who has the power?

The devil is no dummy, he has had centuries of people to practice on.  Once he does the deed, and we fall for it then WE release the poison through our words.  WE must repent as quickly as we can once we realize what we have done. Then we cast him out of the entire situation.

Initiate closure and peace to all, no matter who was used by the enemy.  All of us at one time or another can be used by the devil.  Show mercy and kindness, and soon others will show it to you when you fall into the trappings of Satan.  Look at the example of Peter, when Jesus recognized Satan voice in the disciple.  Jesus did not throw Peter away, He rebuked the devil!

WE ARE IN THE WAR AND WORLD OF WORDS!

Study the bible about words.  Study what God thinks about gossip, slander, tongue and mouth.  There are many other topics that can be used to fuel a Spiritual Civil War among us.

Let us not assassinate our brother!  Don’t get involved in the devils agenda’s; Unless you are going to confront it, bring closure and settle the matter.  Amen?

As God takes you further into ministry there will be fewer people on your path.  He increases and we decrease.  Not everyone can just hang out as you mature in the LORD.  Why?  God takes his special vessels and places them where He can trust them to be. He has tested them over and over again before he releases them.

Please don’t be offended that they cannot be where you are.  If truly known, they wish at times, could hang out.  There is a plan they were presented with by God and they accepted it.  Depending on the task of Gods plans, it can be a most lonesome path especially when you love people and are extroverted.

Yet these love the LORD so much, they have laid down their lives for him eternally.

We must offer up ourselves as living sacrifice’s to the LORD.  We learn to lay our lives down on the altar and remain there abiding in the presence of God.  We have learned by experience to ask that our tongue and mouth be filled with coals of fire.

Do you think everyone can abide there?  There are many levels in the kingdom and each just as important with different responsibilities.  Not everyone can go where you go.

God may require something from you that others can do freely, but you cannot.  Measure yourselves against the Word of God.  Stand against the wall as a plumbline, he will make you line up to his will.

Jesus wants our attention and he is jealous over us.  He wants to be our best friend regardless of the cost.  Oh to know Him as he is known, to experience Him in this life as He is!  Amen?  Amen!

HE IS OUR EXCEEDING GREAT REWARD!

God’s Word for Inertia

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in. They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

While I prayed I heard the word “Inertia” and I had no idea what it meant.  I looked it up.

Inertia means: 1: Property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
2: Resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change: idleness, lazy, with regard to effort, motion, action, and the like; inactivity; sluggishness, slothfulness.  A tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.  © thefreedictionary.com

The LORD revealed some things through this word definition that is effective now concerning the Church and the timing we are in.  I believe we need to know and understand where we fit in our stance with eternity.

There is a very real resistance to moving forward with God today in the churches.  The people are idle (even in spirit filled churches) with no regard to changing and becoming Christ like.  Many have no concept of the cost of discipleship and teaching about suffering for our stance in Christ.

These are sluggish, slothful, and don’t want things to change.  To these who don’t want to rock the boat; they substitute programs, wanting instead a social, status gathering or club, in which Christ has no part in.  These also are using the church for merchandising.  These have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof, from such we are warned to turn away.

I see nothing in scripture that calls for such programs or teachings that encourage others to do nothing and remain unchanged.  I found that Jesus entered the temple and turned over the money changers tables in anger, stating My house is a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves,   Matthew 21:13.

Holiness is a foreign word to them and they are so far removed from the scriptures they believe in.  They trust the preacher to tell them the scriptures and have no study to back them up at home.

Start talking about holiness and watch the people start calling you a legalist or worse, a false prophet.  However, when asked about scripture, many have no idea what they believe or where to find it.

There is a tendency to go with the “herd mentality” and many in this system who are truly saved get stuck in a miry pit or run over.  It takes the LORD’s people to pray and remove them from the pit of destruction through intercession.  Shepherds gently lead their flocks, but herds are driven.

The Church has an existing state of rest or motion that will continue on it’s path of destruction unless that state is changed by an external force; meaning God must change it!

If the church continues on the same path (of rest and uniform motion) It will take a move of God to change the path of destruction.  God will help those that are wayward find their way back, but for many the strict, sacred and undefiled words of the Holy Bible are not applicable anymore.

There are others with lots of zeal who are sincere but sincerely wrong.  These think they are doing Gods will and going along a straight road to destruction and can’t see the peril their in.  Discipleship is so important! It will take prayer and God to changed their directions.

Zeal without knowledge is just as bad, as they believe their salvation is based strictly on their works.  Both states are wrong.  You can’t win by going with the program of religion and traditions; It will take you down and you will wonder why it happened or worse you turn away from God.

Following Christ isn’t easy, but his love for us is eternal and that never fails.  He is our exceeding great reward!

Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge,  (Romans 10:1-2 KJV).

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away,”   2 Timothy 2:3-8 KJV.

“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance; but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye hold in all manner of conversation; because it is written, be ye holy, for I AM holy,”  1 Peter 1:13-16 KJV.
