A Plea from John   Greetings all - Two weeks ago today my life changed. Looking back I can say it began earlier. Probably with some inner healing in August -- not my first such session by far -- and after that a renewed fire to read the Word and pray. I knew I had ground to make up. I had grown distant and cold. I was tired. "Christian" things wearied me. But then I begun to be seriously concerned. Not just about the state of my soul, though that should have been concern enough, but also about the state of our country. What type of America would my grandchildren know? That thought terrified me. Then came November and I went through a terrible fire. It lasted about a week and I didn't know if I'd survive it. After that I spent even more time in the Word and disciplined myself to arise early and make a habit of seeking Him. Then two weeks ago, following phone call conversations with Ray Hughes and Paul Keith Davis everything changed. Revelation came so fast and furiously that it was like hacking my way through a jungle. Dreams, visions, prophetic words, prayer throughout the day, hours and hours and hours of studying the Word with concordances, Bible dictionaries, encyclopedias and various translations of the Bible stacked around me. It was as if the Book of Joel (ironically, one of the few books I wasn't in) had come alive. As it says in Psalm 119:82a: "My eyes fail from searching Your word." I am resending portions of Ching Co's word and highlighting what I believe to be particularly important. But first, like Paul in 2 Corinthians 11-13 I must be briefly foolish. I am wildly jealous for all of you. I want you all to rise to the greatest height and fullest depth of your calling in Christ. I know most of you have heard so many prophetic words in your lifetime that they've almost lost their meaning. They're just leaves driven by the wind. My speaking to some who know is especially hard as Jesus himself performed few miracles in his hometown. The spirit of familiarity is a powerful one. Again, like Paul, let me briefly boast of my credentials, as small as they might be: I have been moving in prophetic gifts for over 36 years. I have been in the prophetic office for quite awhile, how long I really don't know. Maybe 10, 12, 15 years. I am widely published and international leaders in the Body receive my calls and sometimes I give them prophetic counsel. I've overseen several prophetic ministries and was on the original board of advisors of the Elijah List. I've ministered from Edmonton to Alabama, from Georgia to Seattle, from North Dakota to New Mexico though travel is not something I relish.  All that foolishness to say this: Do not miss your opportunity this season. Examine yourselves. Are your feet entangled with civilian affairs? Do you know more about the NFL, the politics of the moment, or current movie, music, and fashion trends than you do about what He is saying? Does your television demand more time, speak louder, and influence you more than any other source in your life? I don't mean to judge and I don't mean to sound self-righteous, but something significant is happening in the Spirit. It is beautiful but it is dangerous. It is like the time of the five wise and the five foolish virgins? Is it that time? I don't know. But there will come a time when a great door will shut and if we are on the outside we will not be let in. I truly do believe the Lord is assembling His Remnant. But the call is for volunteers. No one will be conscripted against their will. Months ago I released several words saying we must wake up! A couple of times I used the phrase "the rooster is crowing." Ching repeats that warning below. In the revelations of the past two weeks I have done some study, with the help of two ladies on this list, of the Biblical creature known as "Basilisk" or "Cockatrice." In secular myth, one of the few things that can kill the Cockatrice is the sound of a rooster crowing. I believe it was that cock's crow that made a man out of the apostle Peter, and I believe the cock is growing again so see if apostles like Peter will awaken and arise. I am not trying to be persuasive or political. I pray that I be kept from presumption. I do not see all things nor do I see everything clearly. But I know in my heart that things are changing and that this is not merely a cycle that we can ride out, then dismiss. Again, the words from Ching are excerpted from her larger word.  Ching and I have a long history. She contacted me about 12 years ago and asked me to be her mentor. We love her dearly and I protect her fiercely. At one time she released words quite often, but Ching is humble and sensitive by nature and the Spirit makes her even more so. The attention and popularity she received from readers of popular forums was distracting for her. Her heart is too pure for the merchandising and self-promotion of the American Church Machine. She has only now resurfaced after several years of seclusion. Her return is timely. Blessings and love to all, john 2010-2013 CRUCIAL YEARS OF GOD'S CALLING, TRAINING & CHOOSING  Prophetic word from Ching Co, Cebu City  As the Scriptures say, " I will destroy human wisdom & discard their most brilliant ideas. Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And He chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important, so that no one can ever boast in the presence of God. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, " No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." (1 Corinthians 1:19, 27-29, 2:9) Remember that our enemy the devil is a great deceiver, counterfeiter & a copycat. He will try to imitate all that God is planning to do before they ever happened. So these are the areas to watch for. There will be a resurgence in the occult. The entertainment world (books, TV, movies, games, reality shows, magic performances ) will escalate with these subjects which will become very popular with the people. There will be great stride in the field of technology, science & medical innovations that will have the world gasping in awe. It will be warmly welcome & heralded by the world as revolutionary, spectacular, awesome & unbelievable. It will be to such a point that people will now be able to accomplish projects that are God like in stature. Natural calamities & disaster will abound. Earthquakes, floods, unusual weather patterns will just be a few of them. What had happened in Haiti is just the birth pangs of things to come. All these things are wake up calls and warning signs from God. He is calling the attention specially of His people around the world that NOW IS THE TIME TO WAKE UP FROM OUR SLUMBER, COMPLACENCY AND WE CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO TAKE ACTION. God is also reminding us that there is an end to evil. Like in the past, He will not continue to put up with human abuse of His creation. He has observed the extent of the peoples wickedness and these has greatly pain His heart. Just like the time of Noah when God warm him about His plan to destroy Sodom & Gomorrah. So today God is also revealing to us His plans and warning us His children about what will happened in the coming days so that we will not be caught unprepared. God is looking for people who are willing to obey Him even when they don't understand what He is asking from them, just like Abraham when he was asked to sacrifice his own son. People who are willing for follow His instructions even when they sound foolish & stupid just like when Noah was asked to built the ark. God is looking for ordinary people (men, women, young one, old one) so that He can pour out His Spirit in a mighty way and manifest His power once again thru them. All God is asking from His chosen ones are willing heart to obey Him, work with Him and walk in His ways. The years from 2010- 2013 will be His years of calling, training & choosing and those who are willing to follow Him will be known as people whose righteousness will be like a garden in early spring, filled with young plants springing up everywhere. (Isaiah 61:11) The people that God will choose will be those who love His creation, love to take cares of them, respect His ways, and willing to learn from Him. God will indeed chose the simple people, as them to do insignificant things that will confound the world. Everybody is a potential candidate. God will show no favoritism. He is looking for willing, yielded vessels that He can work with. The years 2010- 2013 will be the years of calling, training & choosing. People will began to feel a new love for His land and His ways. DON'T IGNORE THAT NUDGE. It may be as simple as finding ways to conserve water, light or food. Or taking better care of trash so they won't contaminate God's creation. Little things that will meant much for God. It is in these areas that He will be testing us. When the day of choosing is over. God will then pour out His mighty power over what these chosen ones are doing and it will awe the world. God will use these events to draw many nations & people to these places and once again He will exalt Himself because all people will know that THESE ARE THE WORKS OF GOD ALONE AND NO MAN CAN DUPLICATE THEM EVER.
