TODAY'S WORD
Ten years ago, I made my third trip to Africa for the purposes of
preaching the gospel. I intended to return there many, many times and
to eventually move there if the Lord would permit. The Lord has plans
for us though that are sometimes not in line with our plans and I did
not know it at the time, but the Lord would send me back to my nation to
do radio and to minister to people who do not wish to be prophesied to.
I much preferred ministry in Africa, where great multitudes of people
are receptive to the Holy Spirit, but such is the nature of the cross:
not my will by thy will be done. Ministry in America has been a
difficult cross to carry.
The final two weeks of that third Africa trip saw many incredible
visions, miracles and events. The Holy Spirit led me to seal them up at
the time. You can read the ministry report from June 6, 2005 here at Days 32-44 Ministry In Africa.
From reading that report, you would never know the events of major
import that happened. Now, ten years later, the Holy Spirit quickened
these events to my spirit, I pulled out my journals and these events are
to be unsealed, for they explain things that have happened and are
happening in America and around the world. All I know is that the Holy
Spirit wants me to write about these things today, in a current article.
I began this morning to go back to the ten year old mission report, to
add to it, and the Holy Spirit said no, make it new.
The thing the Holy Spirit brought back to my remembrance today was the
joint vision, had at exactly the same moment, by Randy McKee and Stephen
Bening. That is the only time in my life that I have ever had a vision
from the Lord and another person could see the exact same thing that I
was seeing. McKee and I had that joint vision in the night session of
the third day of meetings on Friday, May 27, 2005 of an event that was
headlined as the "International Prophetic Explosion" in Kapkatenny,
Western Kenya. I had nothing to do with the selection of the name of
the event. You can see on the May 24th Mission Report
that we had a five day session planned for Kapkatenny, but God ended it
for me in terms of preaching on that third night. We had apparently
promised that town four nights of outdoor crusade evangelism, but the
weather only permitted one, so we would have to return there later.
When we did return, a week later, the event was huge, much larger than
the one we had during this week, with many thousands in attendance and
many attending signs and wonders. But, our focus here will be on this
first three days of the International Prophetic Explosion.
The Wednesday, May 25th meeting opened mildly enough. Prophet Maurice
Wasike began and then turned the proceedings over to an Apostle who I
did not know named Ademba. He launched into a message that then veered
into tithing error. I looked at McKee and we agreed that we had to put a
stop to it, so I arose, took the microphone from Ademba and directed
him to sit down. I told them that, contrary to the teaching of Ademba,
you do not need to tithe for Jesus to heal you. Jesus is Jehovah Rapha,
the Lord our healer. There was much discussion after I finished that
session among the pastors who were there, who numbered about 250. They
asked me to teach them properly about tithing and offering. I told them
that it would probably require me to speak for about three hours and
they agreed that they would pay close attention and not fall asleep
during my presentation: a promise they kept. So, we agreed that
tomorrow's teaching session in the afternoon would cover these things.
That first night, Pastor Leonard preached indoors, as there was no
outdoor crusade event scheduled.
So, we traveled back to our base house in Webuye, Kenya and got into our
beds. At 1:17 AM, McKee and I were awakened by a great shaking. For
one minute, we were shaking while in our beds. Our beds were shaking,
but not bouncing around the floor and we both commented to one another
about it. No one else was stirring in the house, so we perceived that
we alone had been selected to experience this wonder. We wondered what
this sign might portend about the coming days.
The Thursday, May 26th meetings went forward with almost nothing unusual
at all. I was waiting for something, but really nothing notable
occurred. I preached my tithing message and it caused much discussion
among the pastors. We had our first outdoor crusade and about 125
prayed with me to receive Christ.
The Friday, May 27th meetings began at 1:30pm. Prophet Randy taught on
the Making Of Decrees, and how this is the job of the prophet and the
watchman. Prophets are the Watchers and the Holy Ones of Daniel. He
also preached about the untempered mortar of Ezekiel 13 and how the
holding on to idols as taught by Ezekiel 14 will cause God to turn one
over to those idols so that God will speak to a man according to his
idols. We had lunch and a tremendous rain came. We stayed inside of
course: the outdoor crusade was cancelled for that late afternoon. I
preached on a great number of prophetic things regarding the world and
the gospel. I covered 1 Chronicles 5, Turkey, the US and Africa, Song
of Solomon, Malachi 4, Jeremiah 31:3-14, Hosea 8-9 and Ecclesiastes 1.
As I was feeling that I was finishing up, I had my first vision.
VISION 1
I saw a lit scepter, with a flaming fire emitting out of the top of it,
as it appeared in my right hand. I reached out and passed that scepter
to Africa. I explained to the crowd what I was seeing and doing and I
told them that it meant that the authority to carry the gospel to the
world was being passed from America to Africa. Africa was now set to
become the world center of the real church of Jesus Christ. America
would be left as a carcass. I was happy about this for Africa but this
saddened me for America. I finished up my speaking and I sat down.
VISION 2
Prophet McKee and I were sitting there not very long when I began seeing
another vision. I saw a scroll unfolding, coming down out of the
concrete ceiling that was about eight feet over my head. The scroll was
written in very ornate, decorative cursive writing that very much
reminded me of the style of the US Declaration of Independence. I saw
the top line of the scroll as it rolled down from the ceiling. It said,
DEATH WARRANT FOR AMERICA. There was a whole page of writing below
that title that I was not able to read or make out. The bottom of the
page included two signature lines. On the left, I saw my name, with a
blank line available for me to sign it. On the right, I saw the name of
Randy McKee, with a blank line available for him to sign. I looked
over at Randy and I said, "Do you see it"? He said yes. I asked what
he saw, and he exactly described back to me what I had just seen.
The Lord then said to me that I was done. At the time, I thought that
He was referring to my being done in that series of meetings, on that
night, but I now take it that the Lord was telling me that I had
finished my course in Africa. In any event, we still had to get out of
there to return to our base, which was no easy work as our truck was
stuck in the mud. I had to be the driver while every Kenyan pushed us
out of the hole, as none of the Kenyans could seem to drive it free of
being stuck. We all were covered in mud as we drove home and then
tomorrow, we came back to Kapkatenny for another day.
The Saturday, May 28th day in Kapkatenny opened for us inauspiciously.
The five day event had been cut to four. This was the last day. We
arrived by noon and probably should have done a crusade right then as
the weather was beautiful, but I was tired and so the word of the Lord
was fulfilled that I would not preach again there. Apostle David spoke
instead and then, an incredible rain storm came that would have been
frightening to me if I had not been in such an other worldly condition:
filled with the Holy Ghost. The rain came with terrible hail,
lightning and thunder, even worse that the previous late afternoon.
Additionally, the proximity of one of the Mt. Elgon peaks functioned as a
water gatherer and the road we had driven in to that place on had
become a white water river. We broke from our afternoon session just as
the rain was ending and the flood was down right apocalyptic. I stood
there, watching the street river run at about forty miles per hour, and I
had my third vision.
VISION 3
I saw a great number of vultures in the sky, flying toward the West.
The clouds were clearing from the rainstorm and the setting sun was
visible. Thousands and thousands of vultures were all flying directly
west. Then, the Lord began to speak: "These are the evil angels of
Africa, that have been trapped here since the time of Moses and Aaron.
They are now leaving Africa, heading to the churches of America, for the
vultures will be gathered to the carcass, says the Lord".
One week later, Joseph Cook sent me an email from America, reporting
that Kim Clement has now prophesied that America's churches will be
getting visits from wonderful angels, sent by God, who will bring great
blessing. As I was reading this email, I had my fourth vision.
VISION 4
I saw two opposing legal size tables 4' X 8', facing one another. I was
sitting behind one of the tables, with a few men sitting at my side,
whom I recognized to be several no-name prophets of the Lord. Sitting
opposite me was Kim Clement, in the chair directly facing me. At his
sides were several famous TV prophets. I realized immediately that I
was seeing a visual representation of what I had just seen transpire
with the vision of the vultures, signifying evil angels, and that these
false prophets will lead the people of America to believe they were real
Angels, sent from God, with many blessings.
CONCLUSION:
You are all witnesses that many parts of these visions already came to
pass in the Todd Bentley "Revivals" in Lakeland. The DEATH WARRANT FOR
AMERICA indicates that as of May 27, 2005, God had put me on the task of
calling in the judgements in America. I was doing that job until July,
2008, when God raised up Matthew Stephen to go forth and do it as well,
and God sent us out together. There are probably other members of the
two witnesses company who have done their part, and will do their part,
to carry out this work of the Lord around the globe. This tells the
story of how it all began for me: a story the Lord had me to seal up
and write nothing about until more than ten years after these visions
were given to me.
WHY NOW?
I have been on this job since 2005, doing radio ministry with Randy
McKee and others, and then going on tours with Matthew to places where
God sent us. We have ministered with the staff of God in America,
making decrees and commanding that this nation drink forth from the wine
cup of the wrath of God. Randy McKee decided to become my attacker in
2008. To my knowledge, he has had no public ministry via radio or
internet since that time. Did God remove His name from the DEATH
WARRANT FOR AMERICA? I do not know. I only know that since the time
that he came out in writing against me, calling me a false prophet for
doing the very thing that God called him to do in 2005, he has quit. I
can only look and see that since 2008, he has no ministry that I am able
to locate. Was the name of Matthew Stephen inserted at the bottom of
the DEATH WARRANT? I conclude by observation that it is probably so,
but the Lord has never said anything about it.
I am aware now that Matthew Stephen has apparently quit. He no longer
answers his telephone for ministry to the saints. He makes no more
videos and writes no more letters. Finally, he took what was left of
his Montana refuge and sold everything off at public auction. Where he
will go only the Lord knows. He allowed several large items that had
been donated by the saints to the refuge to be auctioned off. I find
this action particularly unsettling-THIS GRIEVED MY SPIRIT EXCEEDINGLY.
These large items, which included two GP Medium tents and a chicken
house, could have been given to other saints for refuge purposes rather
than sold for a nickel on the dollar at public auction. I cannot return
to ministry with Matthew Stephen in the wake of this action of his. I
only know that judgement has begun in the house of the Lord. That
judgement has fallen upon some of his disobedient prophets most
severely. One man asked me this week: "are you the only one left"? I
do not know. I hope and pray that I will remain faithful, and perhaps
God will raise up others to do this task if any prophets do not remain
faithful to carry out God's work to the place where it is indeed
finished. Montana remains a refuge area, to be sustained by God for the
season He intends to cover it, for all whom He has sent there. For
them, God has promised to watch over them, in that area, until He
instructs them to move elsewhere. That promise continues in force in
spite of those who have abandoned that cause. God remains faithful even
though men become unfaithful.
