Prayer Alert: Satan working behind the scenes to hinder

Last month (Nov. 2018), I received this prophetic word in an email from Randall Grier.  I have been familiar with him for many years and would encourage your taking seriously this admonition from the Lord as to the need for prayer to stop the enemy's plans to hinder America, the Church and God's plan.

********************
The following Word was given through Rev. Randall Grier at Word & Spirit in Branson, MO on October 24, 2018. This is a sobering Word for the church to pray and use their authority.

Warnings like these don’t happen to me that much. The last one occurred In January 2001 when the Lord warned us about airplanes running into the Trade Towers nine months before it happened. I and others failed to pray as we should then. We do not act in fear, we are to pray in faith, and the Lord hears and answers our prayers. – Rev. Randall Grier

For there is a time of conflict, unseen in the natural realm that’s going on among the nations of the earth. There are things that are working behind the scenes that are not yet public knowledge. It is a plan of the enemy to try to hinder the United States of America, to try to hinder the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, to try to hinder My plan. But I am making you aware of this even tonight so you can pray for this and pray about this, so that these things can change. The enemy does not like what has been going on in your nation and that’s why you’ve seen upheaval and turmoil even in the political arena on a certain level. But there’s much more that the enemy has plotted and planned, but if My people will pray, you will win and have the upper hand.

So, it is not a time to be sad, it’s a time to be glad that the blood of the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ has caused you to be risen up together, made to sit together in heavenly places that you may rule and reign on this earth, so that My power and My glory could be manifested in this hour. But the enemy has a plot, he has a plan and the conflict again is not just in your land, but it’s among the nations of the earth and there is a plan even going on behind the scenes that some in authority, positions, would know of; but it’s not public knowledge. And there is a diabolical plot, a diabolical plan to come against your land. Nations gathering together that would never even be known, that they would do such a thing and gather together as one, but they would do it to be strong, but know this in advance that I, the Lord, am still on the throne. And if My people will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, you find out that My glory will be poured out and it will be a different story. And you will find out that the plot and plan of the enemy will fail and come to nought and it shall not come to pass and it shall not take place, but I’m telling you and making You aware of this, even this night so you could stand in My grace and pray and believe me and see these things changed and as you do, you will find that you will move into a place of prayer, a place of authority that perhaps you have never been before.

And I, the Lord, have opened unto you this door. Know this, I open doors that no man can shut and I shut doors that no man can open. And the way these things are accomplished is in the realm of the Spirit, not in the realm of the natural. So, know this that I am speaking from heaven and I have given information and revelation to this generation and if they will receive it and believe it and act upon it they will see a mighty outpouring of My Spirit. Even those that have gone wayward in this time that we are living in. Even those that have come up with ideas and thoughts and say you don’t have to be serious about God, you don’t have to be concerned about living a holy life because God loves you just like you are. Well, there is a truth to that, yet you will be powerless and ineffective if you don’t walk in integrity and if you don’t walk in the character of God. The devil knows it and you won’t have authority over him in the church. I bring to your remembrance the seven sons of Sceva. They witnessed Paul casting out devils and they went and attempted the thing by themselves and the devil said to them, ‘Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?’ In other words, they didn’t qualify to put the devil in his place and so he took advantage of them and ran them off down the road. So, in this day it requires character, dedication and consecration to walk in this place in the Spirit that I have for you. And many will hear My voice and obey even though it may not be apparent to you right here today, because I’m speaking to hearts, I’m dealing with people, and I’m calling them in, so know this – I will walk with you, I’ll walk beside you, I will keep you and I will protect you, says the Lord

Threat to Saudi Arabia to provoke Pakistan response

 

Pakistani army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif has reiterated that any threat to Saudi Arabia’s territorial integrity will evoke a response from Islamabad.

Sharif made the remarks Sunday in a statement after Saudi Deputy Crown Prince and Defense Minister Mohammed bin Salman called on him in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, adjacent to the capital.

Salman earlier arrived in Islamabad, making him the second top Saudi official to visit Pakistan in a week amid growing tension with Iran over Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr's recent execution.

http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2016/01/10/Pakistan-to-respond-to-Saudi-s-territorial-integrity-threat-167.html

Mark Biltz, pastor of El Shaddai Ministries in Bonney Lake, Washington, and author of “Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs,” spoke to George Noory on his popular late-night radio show “Coast to Coast.”

When Noory asked what Biltz specifically expects in the near future, the pastor said he sees the possibility of a major war involving Israel and an economic collapse.

Biltz explained he is not looking to prophesy or say exactly what’s going to happen but is simply examining previous blood moon events.

“Look at the patterns; it’s always meant war involving Israel,” he said.

Biltz previously explained that in the two previous instances in which there were four blood moons in a row on Jewish holy days, Israel became a nation, in 1948, and retook Jerusalem, in 1967.”

This time, he said, the final blood moon is lining up closely with the end of the seven-year Shemitah cycle.

“It’s a sign based on the Shemitah cycle, which is that every seven years the land was to rest and there was to be an economic reset. And the last two times [this cycle ended], there was economic collapse.

“I think we could very well could see the collapse of the dollar. You read about it in newspapers all over the world. People are talking about the Chinese, the Russians, everyone else wanting to get off of the U.S. dollar. And once they get rid of the dollar and all these countries that are holding the dollar start dumping it, the dollar collapses.”

Biltz told Noory’s listeners people must pay attention to the blood moons and other astronomical events.

Temple Mt clashes/US requests ban on Jews

 

For the third straight day on Tuesday, Israeli Police and Palestinians clashed on the Temple Mount, drawing sharp criticism from the UN, the US and the Muslim world.

As police escorted Jews going up to the site on the second day of the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hasana, they were met by dozens of Palestinians who attacked them with rocks, iron bars and firecrackers. A firebomb was also thrown at police, setting wooden beams on fire. The rioters attempted to barricade themselves inside the al Aqsa Mosque but police forced their way in, using tear gas and stun grenades.

Five policemen were lightly injured and an unspecified number of Palestinians were arrested. The director of the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency unit, Amin Abu Ghazaleh, reported that 26 Arabs were injured.

United States State Department spokesman John Kirby condemned the clashes on Monday, stating, “The United States is deeply concerned by the increase in violence and escalating tensions surrounding the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount. We strongly condemn all acts of violence.”

“It is absolutely critical that all sides exercise restraint, refrain from provocative actions and rhetoric and preserve unchanged the historic status quo on the Haram al-Sharif/Temple Mount,” he added.  The “historical status quo” Kirby is referring to is a ban on Jews on the Temple Mount.

In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Tuesday evening in a special security meeting that “rioters would not be allowed to prevent Jews from visiting the Mount,” a Foreign Ministry statement said.

Condemnation against Israel has also poured in from across the Middle East. Jordan’s King Abdullah addressed the Temple Mount violence in a press conference in Amman on Monday, AFP reported. “Any more provocation in Jerusalem will affect the relationship between Jordan and Israel,” Abdullah said. “Jordan will not have a choice but to take actions, unfortunately.”

Temple Mount clashes/Netanyahu/Policy change

 Here, in the heart of Jerusalem on a traffic island on a central road, a criminal stood and threw one rock after another into the windshield of Jerusalem residents, until he he succeeded in causing death – it is murder,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said that the rock that caused Levlovitz's death was “one rock too many, and we are declaring war on rioters and those who throw rocks and firebombs.”

The prime minister then went to another site that has recently been plagued by hurled rocks and petrol bombs – Road 443 to that leads from Modi'in to Jerusalem.

“We are changing the policy,” he said. “The current situation is unacceptable to us. We intend to give tools to the police and soldiers to act very aggressively against those who throw rocks and petrol-bombs.”

Netanyahu said that the open-fire regulations will be changed, minimum sentences will be set for those who throw rocks and firebombs, and that “I intend to massively increase fines again minors and their families to deter them.”

Jordan/Israel/Temple Mount Clashes

(Please note at the end of the article that the Muslims initiated the rock throwing, etc.  Of course, from their point of view, it is the Israeli's causing the problem by coming up to the temple mount during Rosh Hashonnah celebrations.  This is all part of the lead up to the #Armageddon conflict)

Jordan's King Abdullah II warned Israel Monday following arrests of rioters on the Temple Mount, saying he was "very concerned and angered with the recent escalation's in Jerusalem, specifically in Al Aqsa Mosque.”

He issued the statement ahead of a meeting with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron.

"We have gotten reassurances from the Israelis government that this would not happen. Unfortunately, these are reassurances we have heard in the past," Abdullah said. "Any more provocations in Jerusalem, will affect the relationship between Jordan and Israel; and Jordan will have no choice, but to take action, unfortunately."

"The Jordanian government condemns the assault carried out by special forces of the Israeli occupation army against the Al-Aqsa mosque compound," Information Minister Mohammed Momani said Sunday. Jordan accused Israel of "provocations" and "attempts to change the status quo" at Judaism's holiest site.

Earlier Sunday, masked Muslim rioters hurled rocks and fireworks at police on the Temple Mount, as well as firebombs near two entrances to the site. Jerusalem District Police and Border Police were forced to respond with riot dispersal measures.

Security forces have also issued distancing orders against members of the Islamist groups that routinely riot on the Mount.

Israel -heat lightning, dust storm, Shemittah year

"We've never experienced a night like this, and I've never seen a thunder storm like this," she added. "In the night hours the heavens opened and the desert darkness was lit up by hundreds of hypnotizing lines - we've never seen a sight like that."

The rare heat lightning would seem to back meteorological predictions that Jerusalem is due to receive a thunderstorm later on Wednesday, with building pressure expected to bring rain that would likely clear whatever remaining dust is still in the air.

It has been estimated that the large amount of dust and sand brought into Israel from Syria and Iraq during the sandstorm may bring a boon to the local agriculture if it would fall on the ground in Israel.
The timing has not been lost on some, who point out that the potential benefit to the crops comes right at the Jewish new year at the end of the shemittah year, which is the agricultural sabbatical year in Jewish law. The Torah teaches that if Jews observe the shemittah year, as many farmers did this past year for the first time, Israel will be blessed with agricultural bounty.

Dr. Michael Brown: What Really Happened in Ireland

Ireland redefined their constitution to include marriage between same-sex partners. (Cathal McNaughton/Reuters)

I almost never do this, but I felt it was very important to share a letter with you so that the whole world could understand what really happened in Ireland as this predominantly Catholic nation voted decisively to redefine marriage.

After the vote, I posted this on Facebook:

"What can we learn from the vote to redefine marriage in Ireland, a traditionally Catholic country?

"1) Traditional 'Christian' religion cannot stop the juggernaut of gay activism. Only a living, vibrant faith will have the energy and commitment and depth to stand firm.

"2) Sex-scandals in the Catholic Church in the 1990s robbed the Church of its moral authority. How can the Church speak to the society about sexual morality when it has largely disqualified itself? Scandals like this take a long time to get over, and here in America, we have been plagued by evangelical scandals as well, involving some of our well-known leaders. To the extent we are deemed hypocritical, to that extent we lack moral authority.

"3) Ireland was not ready for the massive influx of gay activist funding from America. Sadly, from President Obama down, America has been an aggressive force for normalizing homosexuality, and without American funding and vision, it is doubtful that Ireland would have voted so strongly for such radical change.

"What happened in Ireland should be a wake-up call for the church worldwide."

Turkish President: "We will gather Moslem world and invade Jerusalem"

PRESIDENT Erdogan and PM Dovutoglu of Turkey have declared: “We will gather the Muslim world, invade Jerusalem and create a one world Islamic Empire.”

By Allah’s will, Jerusalem belongs to the Kurds, the Turks, the Arabs, and to all Muslims. And as our forefathers fought side by side at Gallipoli, and just as our forefathers went together to liberate Jerusalem with Saladin, we will march together on the same path [to liberate Jerusalem].

These are the words just declared by Dovutoglu, the Prime Minister of Turkey. You would think its coming straight from the mouth of the Antichrist.

Jade Helm 15 cancelled in two Texas counties......

Military exercises in local communities and counties.  Indications of One World Government to come?

(statements at bottom of article, click link below to read entire article)
The astute reader will note that the residents quoted above were not identified — by their own insistence. Perhaps their positions can best be summarized by the thoughts of a Bastrop County resident who once lived in South America and other environs abroad, and who also asked to remain anonymous. The resident declared,

What bothered me most [about Jade Helm] was that people didn’t know about it. This is how it started in my country [before its takeover]. The military became a presence more powerful than government instead of the other way around.

And the first thing that raises my hackles now is that Jade Helm forces will be in plain clothes. In my country, that was a way to ease residents’ fears and become friendly with them. [Military personnel] would then expect assistance from locals, and determine their level of loyalty by getting close to them — but people didn’t have a way to know who they were! The military was learning whom they could trust.

And people were encouraged to report anything that could be construed as subversive. It planted the idea that to be against the government was to be a conspirator. The result was that people learned not to dissent. [They] would not speak the truth, even if they disagreed with what they saw.

Eventually, when the middle class disappeared, the only ones left were those who would comply. They thought they had too much to lose, but the only thing they lost was the only thing that mattered: freedom, which they thought they were defending. No one wanted to be seen as opposing the military, or having a differing opinion. 

I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here, but this is how it starts.

China genetically engineers human genes

China has been ordered to ‘rein in’ scientists who have edited the DNA of human embryos for the first time, a practice banned in Europe.

In a world’s first, researchers at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou confirmed they had engineered embryos to modify the gene responsible for the fatal blood disorder thalassaemia.

The team, led by Junjiu Huang attempted to head off fears of eugenics by claiming the embyos were ‘non-viable’ and could never had become babies.

But critics warned that China was becoming the ‘Wild West’ of genetic research saying it was the first step towards designer children and called for a worldwide ban on the practice.

Egypt-US-Saudi Actions in Yemen

I n a surprise step, Egyptian marine naval and marine forces Thursday morning, March 26, seized control of the strategic Bab El-Mandeb Straits to foil Tehran’s plans to grab this important energy shipping gateway between the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal, debkafile’s military sources report from the Gulf. Egypt disguised the raid as a counter-piracy operation. It rounded off the Saudi-led air strikes launched the same morning against Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. These operations signaled the start of a major Sunni Arab revolt against Iran’s approaching takeover of Yemen, through its Houthi proxy, and advances in other strategic positions in the Middle East, with Washington’s support.

Thursday morning too, the US launched its first air strikes against Islamic State positions in the Iraqi city of Tikrit, rallying to the aid of the Iranian-commanded Iraqi operation, which had failed to dislodge the jihadis in two weeks of fighting. The separate operations in Yemen and Iraq attested to the widening breach between the Sunni Arab camp and the Obama administration and the former’s resolve to thwart US strategy for buying a nuclear deal with Tehran by empowering Iran to attain the rank of leading Middle East power.

Sacrificial altar for 3rd Temple ready......

End-times prophecy watchers are marveling over a news report out of Jerusalem this week that the Altar of the Lord has been reconstructed by the Temple Institute.

The Institute, based in the Old City of Jerusalem, announced it has finished building an altar that is essentially “ready for use” in sacrificial services.

The altar is the most ambitious project to date toward the goal of rebuilding the Jewish Temple. The massive outdoor altar, which took several years to build, can be operational at little more than a moment’s notice, reported the Israeli magazine Matzav Haruach.

The altar is the last major component needed for the long-obstructed sacrifices to resume in a future Jewish temple.

If Damascus falls, Europe won't be far behind......

 "The burden of Damascus.  Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap."  Isaiah 19:1

As a new report details the devastation wrought upon Syria by four years of rebellion, a Virginia state senator who once thanked the Syrian government for defending Christians is worried about the fate of Damascus, the Middle East and Europe.

“If Damascus falls, the dreaded black and white flag of ISIS will fly” over Syria, Virginia state Senator Richard Black told RT. “Within a period of months after the fall of Damascus, Jordan will fall and Lebanon will fall,” he said, adding that the self-proclaimed Islamic State would then target Europe next.

Black is no stranger to the Syrian crisis. Last year, he wrote a letter thanking the government in Damascus for a “gallant and effective campaign” to liberate Christian villages on the border with Lebanon. Most Americans are not aware that Christianity started in present-day Syria, he pointed out.

"Iran/ISIS carving up Iraq", NYT - its all in Bible Prophecy

The New York Times Says “We’re letting Iran and ISIS carve up Iraq”. But The Question Is: Why Doesn’t The Media Acknowledge This Was All Predicted In The Bible?

 

By Walid Shoebat
I wonder at times, will the media ever admit that when it comes to the Middle East, will they ever acknowledge that their headlines many times has already been etched in the Bible? “We’re letting Iran and ISIS carve up Iraq” is a New York Times piece written by Amir Taheri, a capable writer I once spoke to by phone during a shared interview while the Turkish elections was happening in which he was hopeful predicting that Erdogan’s opposition in Turkey would win, in which I said “in your wildest dreams”.

Erdogan won and not the opposition.

But the reason I was correct had nothing to do with my study of the news and had more to do with my study of the Bible, which it was easy to deduce that Islamists will control Turkey and that Iran will gulp up Iraq. Now Taheri, who is an Iranian hopeful, hopes to see Iran come out of Islamism, he correctly deduced that Iran is carving up Iraq: “The bad news” Taheri says is that “Iran is the biggest winner in the Tikrit fight — and IS is gaining elsewhere. The two are dancing toward a de facto partition of Iraq between them.” I would adjust Taheri’s remarks that Iran will gulp up the whole of Iraq while Turkey will gulp up the whole of ISIS, to later carve up Syria, Egypt, Libya, Sudan and Somalia (read Daniel 11) into the fold of the Ottomans.

Years ago we gave this biblically prophetic analysis and stated that Iraq will be devoured by Iran:

Iran's 'bridge' to Central Asia?

 President Hassan Rouhani’s recent trip to Turkmenistan cannot be dismissed as a one-off. Since coming to office in August 2013, the Rouhani administration has prioritized relations with the Muslim states of the former Soviet Union. Given the potential for economic ties and trade, Tehran’s aspirations are fully understandable.

 Meanwhile, the Central Asian states are largely receptive. But for this latest momentum to gain enduring traction, Tehran has to be smart about its appeal to the Central Asians. For them, Iran is a very familiar civilization and a much-needed bridge to world markets. On the other hand, any attempt by Tehran to interject its Islamist ideology into relations will very likely give the famously cautious secular Central Asian governments reasons to once again pull away.

 The five Central Asian states are all Muslim-majority countries but ruled by staunchly secular governments. To be fair to Tehran, the Islamic Republic has since 1991 never sought to forcefully push an Islamist agenda in its dealings with its northern neighbors. From a Central Asian perspective, for relations to become closer, it is imperative that Iran keeps it that way.

End Times Prophecies Point to Threat from Iran, Christian Apologist Tells Greg Laurie

http://www.christianpost.com/news/end-times-prophecies-point-to-threat-from-iran-christian-apologist-tells-greg-laurie-133771/

Joel Rosenberg coins new term: "Apocalyptic Islam"

THE THREAT OF “APOCALYPTIC ISLAM”
The threat we face is not simply from Radical Islam. Indeed, it not even primarily from Radical Islamic groups like Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and al Qaeda at this hour, as serious as these threats are.
The most serious threat we face in the Middle East and North Africa is what I call “Apocalyptic Islam.”
This term — “Apocalyptic Islam” — is one that each of needs to become familiar with and begin to teach others. Why? Because for the first time in all of human history, we have not just one but two nation states whose rulers are driven not by political ideology — or even mere religious theology — but by apocalyptic, genocidal End Times eschatology.
The Islamic Republic of Iran today is ruled by an apocalyptic, genocidal death cult.

Reviving the Ottoman Empire....by Walid Shoebat

Understanding how the world ticks today, alongside reading your Bible is the key to unraveling the future. And while we try to understand what is holy, we must also point what is evil. When it comes to the world, Machiavelli once said “even evil acts may be put to good use if they are handled properly”. And today our preoccupation to the point of obsession with ISIS is not only terrifying since the world is standing still in a panic over terror of which is rivaled by no other. But if one thinks about ISIS, there is much use for it by expansionists who are taking advantage of the situation and is why major political players, particularly Iran, Turkey and even Japan see ISIS as the tool for a grand agenda.
