"For the weapons of our wafare are not carnal ..."

On November 8, as I was preparing to get into bed the Spirit of the Lord stopped me and said:

“When you’re in the fire, look for the Fourth Man to appear!”

Well, as a nation America is certainly in that “fire” now and so we should be looking for and aiding the Kingdom of God by praying—“Thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.” And as I shared in a blog on November 8 which ties in with what I prophesied in a blog on October 2, 2018, all Christians should be fasting and praying now because as I shared in 2018, the nation could be lost by 2020.

I have been grieved in my spirit for President Trump since election night, November 4, and the Lord showed me some very serious things that can happen if we—the Church of the Living God—don’t use our spiritual authority to stop the devil’s plans. That was why the Spirit arrested me. I outlined those plans several months ago in a teaching article titled, Back to the Future, and some of the visions included in this teaching from decades ago are further proof of that.

As a background for this teaching article I have included some visions from my two books, Revelations from God Vol. 1&2 because we are living in these visions now. In those two books I explain the four different types of visions as well as the different types of revelations (Vol. 2) so I won’t discuss those here except to repeat why God gives us visions (which includes dreams from Him)—to show us something. Often the one or more of the Gifts of the Spirit will accompany a vision so you need to know the Gifts of the Spirit and how they function, especially how they function in your own life because there are different types of manifestations of these gifts as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 12.

At the end of this article I will explain how and why these apply to today and what the Lord is saying we need to do to stop the plans of the enemy from bringing God’s perfect will to pass in stopping abortion, establishing justice in our land, and preventing the devil from destroying America before her time.

Vision of the Lord

Revelation on Abortion

New York City

April, 1982

I was in New York on business; I was doing consulting for an oil and gas publishing company in Houston at the time. I was supposed to go out for dinner with the Executive V.P. of the company when the Lord said, “Don’t go to dinner tonight; I want you to stay in your room and pray.” About 10 P.M. as I was praying in the Spirit the room lit up as bright as a Summer day but it was not the yellow light of sunlight but rather a brilliant, white light so bright that it blinded my eyes when I tried to open them.

The Lord spoke from the White Light and said, “I am the Father of the fatherless and that includes the aborted child.” I said to the Lord, “You should send a prophet to Washington, D.C., to the steps of the Supreme Court to proclaim, ‘Thus saith the Lord, there shall be no more rain in this country until you end abortion completely.’” The Lord replied, “No, the time is not yet but it will come.”

Prior to this visitation from the Lord I had felt that abortion was wrong but that night I was “made to know” just how much He hates it. I was staying at the Sheraton Centre Hotel and the next morning I was surprised to learn that President Reagan had given a speech in that very hotel that evening I was praying and he was addressing a catholic group about abortion! I realized that not only had the Lord appeared to me to tell me His displeasure with abortion but that He had used me that night to intercede for the President no doubt to bring forth the message that the Lord wanted to convey through President Reagan.

On New Year’s Day, 2008, I went into Washington with a friend to pray on the steps of the Supreme Court to see if the Lord would say anything about this or the vision that He had shown me in December, 2005, regarding the huge river of blood flowing from the Supreme Court. We prayed several hours there and the Lord said nothing.

We are living in this vision now because the true prophets have finally come forth to realize God’s agenda for President Trump and to begin to prophesy. It is only a matter of time before they go to Washington, D.C., to fulfill this vision and release God’s authority upon the Congress and the Supreme Court.

Vision of the Battle

Cape Town, RSA

March 19, 1997

Evie and I arrived Cape Town on a direct flight from Miami; this was our first trip to South Africa and we were scheduled to minister at a conference in Johannesburg the first week in April.

I had been praying over South Africa back in January and God had given me a specific message regarding spiritual warfare which was the greatest over South Africa than over any other country at that time. As soon as we were on the ground and departed the plane I could hear in the spirit the loud clashing of swords in the heavenly realm. I looked up and saw into the spirit a fight occurring between the angels of God and the angels of the Dark Kingdom. The fighting was fierce. Then I saw Satan running up and down his battle lines yelling, “Hold your position. Hold your position.”

Because the churches in South Africa did not take the warning seriously and do something about it the nation is in chaos now; JB is considered the murder capitol of the world.

However, the warfare shifted from South Africa to the United States and if the churches here don’t ramp up there warfare the nation will be lost before God’s time. Remember, Satan is a good military strategist—better than any living human general. He picks strategic nations, like Israel and the USA, to cement his control over the world and world systems. The following vision explains this.

Vision of the Chessboard

Clarmont, RSA, Easter Sunday

March 30, 1997

I am always amazed that so many “scientists” as well as people in general do not believe the Bible to be the inerrant word of God. One of the common reasons they give is “because it was written by men.” While this is true there was still only One Author, the Lord Himself. Another reason given is because the Bible is a “religious” book. In his book, “Rekindling the Word: In Search of Gospel Truth,” Carsten Thiede makes an interesting and very astute observation: “There is a tendency today, not least among New Testament critics, to regard nonbiblical sources as more reliable than biblical ones … never mind that historians and archaeologists have shown time and again that the date of the gospels can be trusted even if there is no corroborative evidence elsewhere, never mind that it has been shown that Caesar’s crossing of the Rubicon or countless details of his campaigns in Gaul are unsupported propaganda – Caesar’s writings are history, Luke’s, or Mark’s, or John’s are pious eulogies.

“But the root of the trouble is to be found, I suspect (as usual), in the collapse of dogma. Christ, even for Christians, is not quite ‘really’ real – not altogether human – and the taint of unreality has spread to His disciples and friends and to his biographers: they are not ‘real’ writers, but just ‘Bible’ writers. John and Matthew and Luke and Mark some or all of them, disagree about the occasion on which a parable was told or an epigram uttered. One or all must therefore be a liar or untrustworthy, because Christ (not being quite real) must have made every remark once and once only. He could not, of course, like a real teacher, have used the same illustration twice, or found it necessary to hammer the same point home twenty times over, as one does when addressing audiences of real people and not of ‘Bible’ characters.” (pp. 124, 125; Rekindling the Word: In Search of Gospel Truth, 1996, Trinity Press International, POB 851, Valley Forge, PA 19482. Used by permission of the publisher.)

Because Dr. Thiede is dealing specifically with the Gospels he does not assert the same as being true for the rest of the Scriptures but that is plainly the case. And I don’t think his biting irony is misplaced but rather justified. Too many people, especially theologians, are educated beyond their intellect because the facts dispute their conclusions.

I am both a scientist and a theologian. Human beings seeking the truth should take note of the fact that the prophet Isaiah who prophesied 800 years before the birth of Christ knew that the earth was not flat (cf. Is. 40:22) – a secret not revealed to “scientists” until over 2,000 years later! How did Isaiah know the earth was round? Did God speak this to him? Possibly, but I doubt it. I believe he saw it in a vision much as the one I’m going to relate to you that I experienced while we were ministering in the Republic of South Africa.

I was taken in the spirit above the earth and as I was looking down upon the top of the world a transparent, gigantic chessboard began to form upon the top of the world. I could see the world through the chessboard. Two players were seated. Satan was playing the black pieces and the Holy Spirit was playing the white pieces.

The appearance of the pieces upon the board were such that I could tell that the game had been on awhile – it was toward the end of the middle game (an average chess game lasts about 40-60 moves per person depending on the strength of the players).

Both players were moving their pieces with lightning speed – zoom, zoom…zoom, zoom. Their speed was such that you never see with human participants even when a Grandmaster plays a beginner. I observed that Satan’s pieces, particularly his queen, were quickly becoming “overworked,” a chess term for a superior piece being overcome by many smaller pieces which the Spirit of God was moving with lightning speed! Obviously, the Holy Spirit was winning the game which was close to being over.

As stated earlier, Satan is a good military strategist and we would be no match for him were it not for the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, most Christians don’t know the Holy Spirit at all even though He lives inside them. That is one of the main reasons that they live such defeated lives. Fortunately, God has other ways to speak to us (at least 23 that I’ve found in the Scriptures) until we mature (if we do). That is why at CCI we encourage Christians to develop the Eye of the Eagle. If you don’t mature spiritually you will be completely unaware of what is really going on around you.

THE WILL OF GOD

As I’ve shared many times in my writings and preaching, one of the greatest misconceptions that Christians are taught is that because God is sovereign His will is always done. It shocks them when I say, “No, the fact is that His will is normally not done.”

And if you don’t believe me just read the book of Jeremiah or any of the other prophets. God limited Himself through covenant. He created man and has made various covenants throughout history with different men or through different “men” such as Adam and the Second Adam, Jesus Christ.

And if the Church could ever understand the Divine Magna Charta and our responsibilities as the Body of Christ, the Kingdom of God would be better established on the planet.

One of the reasons God had me write Mysterious Secrets is to teach the Church about spiritual warfare and that book has thousands of testimonies about how it saved churches, families and people’s lives who got the revelation that we are in a serious battle and if you don’t fight you will be a casualty of the war.

I prophesied 30 years ago in MSDK that there “was a great civil war ahead for America” and that it paralleled the spiritual war going on between the real Church and the false churches erected by Satan. And as stated in my blog a few days ago, we are now engaged in that civil war here in America. It’s been going on for some time but now even the secular media is talking about it.

And we must remember an important fact and not lose our focus! When God moved Eve and I to Montana from Texas back in the ‘90s the Lord told her, “Don’t allow the attacks of the devil to cause you to lose your focus.”

And I think we all know that this is one of Satan’s favorite strategies. God gives you an assignment or else you make a quality decision to do something for God like giving tithes, offerings and alms, the devil will attack your finances to get you to stop giving because he knows that most Christians give up when the pressure is on—they lose their focus—it is switched from what God is dealing with them about to the attacks of Satan.

That is why you had better learn about spiritual warfare and engage the enemy every day or he will “kill, steal and destroy” your family, your job and your country.

So now we are engaged in the Civil War over America and we must take one of our weapons—the “Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word (rhema) of God” and use it. And as I always say, “What does the Word say?”

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds …” (2 Cor. 10”4).

But let me just be frank with you; most Christians are just as dumb as a load of coal about spiritual warfare much less knowing their weapons and how to use them. I’m sure that for most people reading this that statement is not true but it is for most of the Body of Christ simply because their churches and pastors are so goofed up that they don’t believe the Bible and they don’t teach and train their congregations to minister to the Lord or for the Lord.

But Satan likes that; he prefers to keep on occupying your town, state and government and increase his stronghold on a nation until it is destroyed through sin and wickedness. And he will continue on in America unless somebody stops him. I’ve shared before in Another Gospel and some of my teaching articles and blogs what the Lord said to me when our family was driving through Alabama enroute to minister at a church. I had made a remark to my wife in the car about always being able to tell when you are in the South because there is a church on every corner and right then the Lord spoke to me and said, “Yes, with all these churches here on every corner, how come the devil is still in charge of this town."

Sadly, my brother and sister, you know that killing center in your city? You know that X rated movie studio in your town? You know those drug dealers in your community? Well, I hate to tell you but it’s your fault! You and every other Christian in that town have spiritual authority to do something about it if you will do it. And this comes down to America today. If the will of God is not done then it’s your (and my) fault. We have weapons; “you have an anointing from the Holy One” (1 John 2:20).

As mentioned earlier, I have been grieving in my spirit for President Trump and it’s not because he lost the election because he did not lose the election as you will see. But he has been so abused, even by so many in the Church. Never in the history of this great nation has a President been so vehemently attacked and if you had the Eye of the Eagle you would know that this is a sign that he is sent from God. I had a sure word of prophecy about this back in 2015 but you should know just by the way the world views him based on the Scriptures and what Jesus said. And it's not because of his plain talk and irritating tweets that people talk about--it's because of the anointing!

"You mean to tell me brother Timmons, that Donald Trump is anointed?" Yes, God chose him and when God chooses you He anoints you to do the job He's given you to do. So if you had the eye of the eagle you would realize that all the hatred towards this president is spiritual--the demons in people are manifesting against the anointing!  Back in September I was speaking with an African pastor friend of mine who has a church in San Jose. He spoke about how so many in his church “don’t understand the governmental anointing” and cannot believe that Trump is anointed by God to be President.

I saw yesterday where Joe Biden has set up an “Office of the President-elect.” Really? What is that? It’s never been done before and it’s another attempt by the Devil’s Party, the communist media and the libs to make people think that he won the election. The devil wants to take control right away. What are you doing about it? Are you congratulating Kamala Harris for being the first black woman in the White House like some Christians my wife noticed on Facebook? Or are you in the will of God involved in Spiritual Warfare to stop the destruction of America.

Several days ago I awoke with Adonijah in my spirit and I believe the Lord was telling me that Biden is just like Adonijah. And after seeing this new “Office of the President-Elect” yesterday that all the media was covering I knew that it was true.

If you are not familiar with Adonijah then go back and read about him in 1 Kings. As David was nearing the end of his life, Adonijah decided to proclaim himself king. Satan used him to try and steal the future of the nation of Israel that God had ordained would come through Solomon.

One of the things that Satan tries to do to imitate God (cf. Daniel 2:21) is to try and throw God’s timing off. You may not realize it but the Scriptures teach that timing is important to God. Satan wants chaos and he knows if he can disrupt God’s timing he can disrupt God’s plans. Gabriel tells the prophet Daniel that the Antichrist will seek to do this and we are now in that time.

Satan finds it “fitting” that Philadelphia—the birth place of our nation—should also be where he can erect a grave with the following headstone:

America the Beautiful

1776-2020

R.I.P.

Several days ago I tweeted on Twitter that Philadelphia was going to have to change their slogan from "The City of Brotherly Love," to "Philadelphia--Where Liberty Goes to Die."

Are you going to let that happen?
