A REPORT OF WORDS THAT CAME TO THE GATHERING OF ELDER PROPHETS

JANUARY 27, 1999 IN COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO

(NOTE: We each see in part and prophesy in part (I Corinthians 13:9). But when the parts are brought together we see a greater whole. With this perspective in mind, a gathering of senior prophetic voices representing various streams of the church were assembled in Colorado Springs to seek the Lord for such a time as this. The following is a partial summation of that time together. Some of the words brought forth pertain to the current Y2K issues facing this nation and the nations. Other words included in this document are somewhat unrelated to Y2K and are not time dated revolving around this event

International Alliances:

By witness of several prophetic voices, it is believed that an alliance will form between Communism and Islam creating an evil that will be more difficult than anything we have previously known in modern history. Europe particularly needs to cry to the Lord. If Europeans cry out with all their heart, God will hear them in their day of trouble. American intercessors in particular are to be of great help to them in that time. A word came that war is coming and that many of our own young men and women will die on this soil and foreign soil if we do not cry out to God.

Concerning Y2K:

What is coming upon the world is so serious that Y2K will pale in comparison. It is all right to prepare for Y2K in the natural provided that the preparation is not a heaping up solely for our own personal needs without considering the plight of neighbors. If storing is done selfishly, it will be like sifting sand and slip through your fingers.

The church is not to fall into fear and panic but to seek His face and presence. Y2K issues will be different in various regions. Some will be hit harder than others. That is why there is not just one national primary word from the Lord on this issue. He wants to speak to us by regions. Each area therefore needs to raise up a prayer shield and gather apostles, prophets, pastors and intercessors to pray and hear from God.

Acts 11:27 says "And in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that a great famine would come throughout all the world, which happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. The disciples determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. They did this, sending it to the leaders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. NKJV

This scripture indicates they heard a specific word for their region and prepared. We must intentionally seek the Lord together in each city and region, not only for ourselves, but as to what the Lord would require us to do for the other regions. Some, like Judea, will be harder hit than others.

We need to prepare spiritually both individually and regionally for what lies ahead. Our cities need to be established as cities of refuge in the hour of a storm. Large cities can do this by burroughs or districts. This is done in intercession through establishing the "watch of the Lord" with 24-hour prayer and praise. We must rebuild the walls of our cities like Nehemiah, establishing the 12 gates of prayer and praise.

Economic Shakings:

The first six to nine months of 1999 will be a time of heaping up. But be a good steward of what God is giving in these months because it is to be provision for the year 2000. In some sense, 1999 is the sixth year of heaping up before the seventh year of Sabbath rest. Y2K is a man made problem which will cause a temporary disruption of communication like the Tower of Babel, and for a season communication will be cut off. Y2K itself will not be the major shaking, but the shakings will come with a domino effect. Prayer can soften the fall of these dominoes.

The Lord spoke strongly of economic shakings coming. Several dreams have been given to various prophets about disaster striking the nation; in particular the east coast. The Lord was showing that we are not ready in any measure for what is coming, and that it will be titanic in proportion when it hits in its fullness.

One of His last words in our assembly was that because of our prayers and standing in the gap (it seems this meant because of the tears and deep intercession that came upon us as a group of prophets at that time joined by the intercession of God’s people world wide) that complete destruction will be averted, but He is still going to discipline or spank America. This would not be averted. In the coming shakings, so many things will be happening that those in the Church who have been against spiritual warfare are going to be awakened and realize their great need and stand up and fight against the enemy in that day.

Terrorism:

Again by the revelation of several prophetic voices, we were warned that the accuser of the brethren is coming with a fresh onslaught. There will be Islamic terrorist attacks that will be launched against children. It will only be as many as 10 - 20 such episodes, but it will put tremendous fear and even terror into the heart of the nation. This fear will boomerang especially against those who are in militia organizations and certain groups of Christians. As a result, a wave of persecution could come against the Church.

Colorado Springs:

Another word was specifically given for Colorado Springs stating that in a time of war or attack it would be one of the primary first targets, and that they are not ready in the Spirit. Our walls are broken down and we do not have the prayer coverage we need to withstand the onslaught. Complacency needs to be broken and prayer watches and spiritual coverage put in place to rebuild the walls of the city. Colorado Springs (as other cities) is vulnerable to attack.

Humility:

God spoke to us deeply about the need for humility. Those from Colorado Springs confessed the sin of pride and that they had believed their own "public relations." Many had been hearing from the Lord of the need for brokenness and humility and the need to seek His face and His presence a fresh with prayer and fasting.

The President:

Other words came forth indicating that the Lord is angry at the church for not praying for President Clinton even as we are commanded to in I Timothy 2:1 - 3. It had not been God’s will for the things that happened to him and by him, and these may not have occurred if we had really cried out to God for him rather than condemning him. It was shown to us the intensity of the spiritual warfare surrounding the Presidency, and that even the strongest Christian leader could not have stood under such onslaught without heavy intercession and prayer covering. We entered into repentance for our sinfulness in these regards.

Days of Glory:

For a closing addendum: It is also believed that if the church of Jesus Christ will arise in 1999 and lay hold of this window of opportunity that lies in front us, that the days of hardship could be turned into days of great hope. It is a time for humility; a time for intercession; a time for spiritual and natural preparation; and a time for God’s glory to shine forth and let light overcome darkness. There is coming a wave of God’s great glory that will supersede anything we have seen in recent church history. The call is for us to shake off our apathy, arise as a beacon of light and through prayer and compassionate deeds of the saints seize the moment while we still can.
