We MUST remember at this crucial hour in the history of the United States of America that GOD IS IN CONTROL. He has not forsaken His own. Prayers are going up all around the world. To paraphrase a famous phrase from WWII, "I believe the sleeping Giant has been awakened." I believe in this case that sleeping "Giant" is at least three fold.

1) The United States, the "sleeping giant" has just been awakened 2) The Church in America and around the world has just awakened 3) Intercessors from around the world have now truly been awakened and put on full alert.

Believers, it's time to exercise faith and trust in the Lord. Pray for peace in America. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Pray that HIS CHURCH will arise with healing in it's wings.

Joni Ames, a prophetic voice to this nation received this prophetic poetry shortly after this crisis began.

A MESSAGE - Joni Ames - [Received by THE ELIJAH LIST 6:52 am PST 9-11-01]
***************************************************
I've cried to God as I've beheld The world wrapped up in fear Of lack and death and war that looms To snatch lives held so dear I said, "My God! - Have you not heard The newsmen on TV?! Do you not know the shape we're in?! Do you not care for me?!" "I'm scared, Dear Jesus! - Help us! - Please! There's news of fear and war And I'm afraid, Lord - I admit! - Of what might be in store." "Peace, be still, My child," He said "And hear now what I say For I have seen and heard the cries Of those who, to Me, pray. "Keep your eyes upon ME now Not what you hear or see And, as you do, you'll keep My peace - IF your mind stays on ME!" "It matters not what one man says Or even many more For I am God, and I decide Each day what lies in store." "I've told you there would be such times When, of these things, You'd hear I told you so you'd be PREPARED And FULL OF PEACE, not fear." "For all these things MUST be fulfilled Yet MY WORD fails not For I AM still your Hiding Place As all the fires rage hot." "You're hid beneath MY shadow now And you can rest in Me Yes you can trust My Words of LOVE To last eternally." "For I'm your Father, Counselor, Friend Your Alpha and your End And if this was the world's last day Be sure, for you, I'd send." "I've promised I'd save you a place If you would stay in Me Stay pure and faithful, eyes on Me And, victory, you'll see." "I can't tell you if it's 'the end' - NO human man can know But I CAN tell you, it IS close, So be prepared to go." "Each day I give you, reach in love To save another soul For snatching them from Me for Hell Is truly Satan's goal." "Occupy until I come Live each day FULL in ME Just keep your eyes upon MY face And know that I DO see." "I see the world, I see YOUR LIFE And I DO care for YOU And know, no matter WHAT occurs My love for you stands TRUE." "I'm Alpha and Omega - God - I'm King and Lord of ALL I'll be right near to care for you As, on My name, you call." "For I can change the hearts of Kings And I, their hearts, do try And I'M the one who formed this world And says when it shall die." "So, USE this time to SEEK THE LOST And tell them of My Love That they, too, may be saved and live With Me, again, above." "Don't listen to fear's voice - hear MINE! Then STAND on what you've heard Don't fear yours or the world's fate - It's destined by MY WORD." "Keep your eyes on ME, My Child, And let Me wipe each tear For I am God and IN CONTROL - So live in peace, not fear."
