The morning of August 31st, I heard the Lord say, “I am offended by the lack of expectation from My people!”
It really surprised me at first, because I was right in the middle of praising and thanking Him for a revelation He’d just given through a dream. This particular dream has set me on fire with anticipation for what the Lord has planned for His people.
Prior to this dream, several pastor friends had been asking if it might be possible for me to come speak to their congregations about the dreams and visions I write about. With some being outside the U.S., I’d responded by saying that if it was God’s will, He’d have to make a way, especially the time needed for traveling such vast distances.
So, I’d been thinking along those lines. Even with all the social networking and satellite transmission capabilities, there’re still so many areas around the world not able to access such services. It’s still necessary for the Body of Christ to travel to and from to minister in these areas. Then I thought about what might happen if the communication systems we now take for granted are interrupted, or martial law instituted? These minor inconveniences we now experience will pale in comparison.
I quickly brushed off all the negative thoughts, and began thanking Him in advance for always making a way. Then came the dream…
The dream began with me suddenly appearing in a large room full of chairs. There were a couple of people with me. Although I didn’t see their faces, I knew they were close friends of mine, and we’d come to minister to this group of people. We were to sit on the front row, and I somehow knew I was there as one of the speakers. As people began to fill the room, I realized I was in another country. Then a familiar face entered the room, and I immediately knew where we were. It was then I realized, God had translated me to India!
As my friend entered, he quickly took a seat near the back of the room. I rushed over to him and said, “Micah (not real name), come sit with us in the front!” He looked at me and started to come, but then a look of regret spread across his face, and he turned and walked back to his chair. You’d have to know him to fully understand, but he’s one of the most humble people I’ve ever come across. I knew he was supposed to be a part of what was happening, but he didn’t feel worthy to sit in the front! End of Dream
Upon awakening, I excitedly went before the Lord to pray and receive confirmation of what’ I’d been shown. It was revealed that the dream was an answer from the Lord in response to my prior reasoning about what it will be like when communications are interrupted, and martial law’s instituted in various places. Also, the Lord told me to immediately give Micah the following message: “When the Lord calls you to the front, do not refuse Him. Sit where the Lord tells you to sit.” So I sent my friend this message, then proceeded to write up the dream. It was then the Lord showed me much more…
Before I give you the remainder of the Lords message from that morning, I’d like to share a personal experience that I’ve never spoken about openly. Six years ago, I was reading about translations; those mentioned in the Bible, along with personal accounts from pastors and missionaries in countries where modern forms of transportation aren’t available. I also read a few testimonies of Christians who’d been translated while asleep; sent to pray with, lay hands on, and minister to others all over the world. I was so fascinated with the subject and told God He could use me like that if He so desired.
A couple of weeks later, I was on my way to a weekly Bible study at a Church I attended at the time. I traveled the same course every week and always dreaded the junction where I had to exit the interstate, then immediately crossed four lanes of heavy 5:00 pm traffic (in less than a quarter of a mile) to make a right hand turn toward the church. This was always a stressful maneuver for me to make, as I had to judge my speed and timing perfectly.
That particular Wednesday seemed no different than any other as I traveled down the interstate towards church. It dawned on me I’d better get in the right lane because my exit would be coming up soon. So I turned my head to look over my right shoulder before changing lanes. I remember taking a deep anxious breath, as I always did – dreading that stretch of road before the right hand turn, but when I turned my head back towards the front, everything had changed. I was no longer on the interstate, but sitting in the right hand lane, at the stop light, the second car from the front! I was just sitting there, waiting to make my right turn!
“What just happened?” I was totally disoriented for a few moments as I tried to wrap my head around what was going on. Then a feeling of joy spread over me as I realized God has just showed me what it felt like to be translated. For me, it was literally a turning of my head, and I was somewhere else! I believe He used such a seemingly trivial situation in answer to my studying of the topic and prayers about it; and in His gentleness, didn’t want me frightened by the experience.
Now, fast forward six years… I’m sitting down to type up the translation to India dream. The memory of the time the Lord translated me on the highway had just come to mind, when the Lord tells me that wasn’t the only time I’d been translated! He then showed me a vision of two other times. For lack of space, I’ll only relay one of those times:
The Lord showed me a dream I’d had one night in 2014. The “dream” started with me suddenly appearing in a large room full of people. It was a casual gathering of some sort. All of us were facing about ten people at the front of the room, who were leading us in a sing-along. The music and words to the song were beyond anything I’d ever heard, and filled me with excitement and joy. It was as if I knew everyone in the room, and we were all of one mind.
The Lord reminded me how happy and excited I’d been upon awakening the next morning. He then revealed to me it was not a dream, and that I’d been allowed to attend an actual gathering in Heaven! It was then revealed that many of us have already experienced translations. The Lord said,
“Many of my people have experienced this, but do not know it. If they ask, I will reveal it to them.”
Next, He reminded me of his message to my friend: “When the Lord calls you to the front, do not refuse Him. Sit where the Lord tells you to sit.”
Brothers and sisters, when I heard that, I immediately knew many in the Body of Christ are holding back because they don’t feel worthy of being mightily used by God. Unless we change our attitude about this, when He calls us to the front lines, there will be those who refuse Him and shrink back.
So here I was on the morning of August 31, totally immersed in praising Him for things too great to comprehend, when I heard the Lord say:
“I am offended by the lack of expectation from My people!”
When I heard this, I felt His great sorrow. I then began repenting for all the times I’d prayed and not expected His absolute best for me, for all the worrying and fretting I’d done through the years. Then the Lord said,
“Tell My people, the time will come when no man can work – but with God all things are possible.”
“Do not be afraid of martial law; martial law will not be able to contain you!”
TO BE CONTINUED…. On September 14th, when I thought I was ready to post, the Lord gave an additional Word, which fully explains the urgent necessity for His people to FULLY EXPECT His miraculous provision.
The Lord has shown me physical and spirit translations, miraculous signs and wonders, will be the norm for His Anointed Ones. But those who have a lack of expectation will experience something altogether different. He’s also given me a Word of something I never would have imagined, – about to be unleashed against His people.
God willing, Part 2 will be posted by week’s end…

Thank you Diana for your post. I wonder if you can clarify something. You said in your post that God said: “Tell My people, the time will come when no man can work – but with God all things are possible.”
In John 9 :4 the bible says: ”I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”. The night refers to the last days and reading the beginning of this verse, i understand that Jesus is talking about ministry work.
When I read your post, I understood that God was saying that it would not be possible to provide for our needs through ‘going to work’ as men/women are now doing.
According to what you understood when your received this word, was God talking about the work of the ministry like Jesus in John 9 or was it something else? Whatever you can add , please let me know.
PLEASE,I CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION BY MISTAKE!!!!!PLEASE,PUT ME BACK INTO PLACE.I NEED IT!!!Thank you very much.
I wasn’t sure where to post this but here it is. I had a very strange dream last night that has continued to resonate with me all day. I can only recall one part of the dream, the rest is a blur. I was in a rural area and stopped to get gas. I used a gas credit card (I don’t actually have one) to fill up my car. For some reason as I was filling up I was shown that I had reached a balance of $10,000. The number 10,000 was repeatedly flashed in front of me. Suddenly on the card itself a small red rectangle in the upper left hand corner of the card began flashing. Inside the red rectangle the words “security alert” were also flashing in red. I cannot get out of my head that 10,000 and the red security alert flashing. Like I said, I do not remember anything else. Any thoughts on this? There was without a doubt a significant message contained in this.I have had several other important dreams the last week or so that I will share later.
Robert,
It definitely sounds like the Lord is giving a warning message to you. And it could possible be a monetary alert of something getting ready to happen. I recommend you spend some time before the Lord for interpretation.
Also, please copy and post your comment on the following conversation thread. There are several who may be able to pick up on this right away as they deal more in financial dreams and such.

Awesome experience. I have a feeling you have only just begun in your wild adventure in the Holy Ghost and FIRE!
May you be flooded with Blessings from above!
Michelle,
I believe this “wild adventure” the Body of Christ is getting ready to take is beyond our wildest dreams! Blessings to you!
Diana…thank you for this word. Outside of the Bible…I had not seen anything about translation. Then I saw Shawn Bolz on Sid Roth (Aug. 2 airing I watched in September) and he proclaimed that he was over 4 hours away from Branson MO and then was translated to Branson in 2.5 minutes. And now your word…thank you for the confirmations…my growth continues!
Scott,
Yes, Amen! And just look at all experiences the Saints within the Z3news family have shared in their comments. Clearly, this is very common in the Church, but we just didn’t know what was actually happening, or what to call it!
Diana – I believe this discussion has stirred something in my spirit! This morning I believe I had three different experiences of being translated in the spirit. In one experienc, I confronted a demonic entity in Jesus’ name and banished him to sit at the throne of God to worship. (Someone suggested this time as a place to send the enemy instead of to the dessert places and it made sense to me.) In two other experiences I believe that I was ministering to people. In all three of these, it was like I was seeing with laser vision. The colors were so brilliant and the lines so sharp, It was like seeing something in bright sunlight. So cool! Thank you Lord for your promises ate yes and amen!
Rachel,
This is so exciting! I believe you’re right, because the Father meant this to stir up the Body of Christ; to open up their expectations and be ready for these new places He’s taking us! And I love the idea of banishing demons to sit at the throne to worship.
FEAR AND UNBELIEF HAVE BEEN THE FOUNDATION OF OUR INABILITY TO DO OR EVEN OBEY OUR KING!!!IT HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS THE WILL OF OUR MASTER TO DO JUST WHAT HE DID WHEN HE WAS HERE ON EARTH(John 14:12)!!ANOTHER ISSUE MAY BE THAT OF IGNORANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD.HELP US,OH LORD!!!
Please,say whatever HE SAYS without fear and favor!!!Remain blessed.Thanks.
Godwill,
Amen! You have nailed the crux of the matter. Fear and unbelief are the reason we’re not experiencing the best our God has for us, and the reason the Church has become so useless and ineffective.
Thank you for your comment!

This is an incredible confirmation.
Here is a dream, I just read. It touched me so, I thought I would share it. This dream goes well with this article, by Diana.
Dream: My Love in an African Village
Posted on 2 October 2016 by Beverly Juelsgaard-Fischer
In my dream this morning, I visited a village in Africa. The village was away from a lot of civilization and only had twelve huts.
Although I don’t naturally speak their language, Holy Spirit helped me and I not only spoke their language, but understood what was said. There wasn’t anything that we would call modern there, but the hearts of the people.
The whole village had come to know the LORD as their Savior. Yet, I didn’t see anyone who looked foreign here whom I would have thought was a missionary among them.
So I asked, because people from other villages would come saying they had traveled three or more days to get there. I didn’t understand why they’d come, until I saw what they’d brought with them in a cart, carried by others, or on an animal. There would be someone very sick, sometimes almost dead, or someone missing an arm, leg, or eyes had been gouged out or ear cut off by a sword.
When this happened, I would first hear the people begin singing praises to the LORD. They would stop everything there were doing and come gather around the person who had been brought to them for healing.
You could tangibly feel Holy Spirit moving among them. They didn’t need a person to lead them in anything, because they all followed the Holy Spirit. Then it was as if the children began to come out from between and behind the adults, like they were coming out of hiding.
They too, were pouring out their hearts to the LORD. Then I would hear a voice say, “Be healed in Jesus Name.” The sick would be made well, limbs or body parts would be created and the nearly dead or dead would come to life, in the middle of the crowd of people.
I looked around and everyone was excited about what the LORD had done and they were all praising Him and glorifying His Name. There wasn’t any pushing or shoving to get people out of the way.
I asked, “Who did this?” and they all looked at me like I was crazy or something. Then a child of two or three years old came to me and tugged on the edges of my jacket. I looked down and they were just grinning from ear to ear. I knew this was the one the LORD had used in healing the person/s.
Every day and sometimes two or three times a day someone would come to the village for healing. But each time it happened, a different child would come to tug on my jacket or pants leg, and be grinning from ear to ear, when I would ask, “Who did this?”
Pretty soon it was obvious that it wasn’t any one person being chosen by Holy Spirit, it was a random selection of a different child each time and there wasn’t a competitive spirit among them to be the chosen one. When I asked how they knew who Holy Spirit would use, they would just say, “they just knew” or “He whispered in my ear.”
So I asked the LORD, “What is going on here?”
He said, “They know their children are their greatest treasure, aside from their salvation and relationship with Me. So they guard them, and teach them. They value them, as they do Me.
This village had no children ten years ago and mistreated each other. They had sacrificed their children in desperation to their god. They all blamed each other for every lie they believed and none were willing to take responsibility for their own actions. There were only three huts here at that time and only six remaining adults.
I sent them one, who had gone through much, but was willing to lay down their life for Me. They almost did, because when they entered the village and the leader became very sick, My Messenger was blamed.
The people in the village were ready to kill My Messenger, when they asked to be taken to the ailing leader. When My Messenger was taken into the hut, everyone tried to cram into it, at the same time. Figuring out that they couldn’t all fit, some had to wait outside.
My Messenger sat on the ground beside the ailing leader and began to sing softly to Me. As they sang, Holy Spirit began to come into the hut and filled it, because their song was for Holy Spirit to come and fill the place. So Holy Spirit did, He filled the place.
My Messenger was still sitting on the ground beside the leader and softly said, “Be healed, in Jesus Name.” The leader was healed and immediately sat up smiling.
That day, the whole village stopped their wicked ways and listened to their first message of salvation. All came to know Me as LORD and Savior of their life. My Messenger stayed with them and taught them My Ways.
The whole atmosphere of the village changed from sadness, grief, death, jealousy, cruelty, idolatry, and more, to one of joy, happiness, life, kindness, hope, worshipping Me and more. Then they began having children again, not out of necessity to sacrifice to a false god, but in love as a gift from their God.
The people rejoiced and My Messenger taught them how to love unconditionally through example, and wisdom from Me. Just as I loved all who were there, they began to transition and learn what unconditional love really was, according to My standards. The people learned right from wrong, because they had only been doing before, what they’d been taught for generations. They instilled the way of Holiness and Truth into their little ones.
Then someone came to the village who was very sick. My Messenger taught them how to sing praises and worship Me, their God and to ask for Holy Spirit to come. Then My Messenger prayed and the visitor was healed, simple and direct.
The visitor left the village well, but the sickness they had brought, stayed. The children and some of the adults became ill. My Messenger watched as the people began to gather to sing over each one, who fell ill. They would drop everything, to serve Me and help those who were ill. Then a child would come forward to pray, just as My Messenger had taught them.
Then My Messenger became ill. The people gathered around My Messenger to sing and pray. But it was time for My Messenger to come home to Me, they had completed their last assignment.
The people of the village were very sad to see My Messenger leave, but the people understood My Messenger was coming home to Me and they rejoiced. Since then, they have continued on the path I started them on.
They love Me as never before. Villages near and far bring their sick to them, for they know they will be healed if they come and allow Holy Spirit to have His Way.
The people of the village know the value of a relationship with Me. They have found the treasure in their children, which has helped them to grow even more.
The village has grown to 12 huts from the original three. They are soon to expand even more as My Love continues to grow through them as well.
I fiercely guard this group of My Beloveds. They have gone through much and learned from it, to lie down to worship Me and serve Me at all cost. I have won their hearts, as they have won Mine.”
God Bless You!

Matt,
That is absolutely beautiful! Wow! So much to take from this dream. Thank you for sharing dear Brother!
Matt, Thank you for sharing this. This made me cry tears of joy!
Matt where did you find this dream?
It was posted on another website, from someone posting it on my timeline. This is how I discovered her dream.
https://www.hiskingdomprophecy.com/all-prophecy-articles/articles-by-beverly-juelsgaard-fischer/
Great word Diana! I believe that the latter rain will be greater than the former. I believe we will see the greater works! There will be a golden age of the church where it will shine for all the world to see. And yes, we will travel by faith as Philip did in Acts 8.
Thank you so much Diana.your post reminded me of the dream posted some time ago here about being in a room where the LGBT lies were being preached and the believer got up to leave, was threatened by guards with guns and just said to them that they had no power to harm him if the Lord Jesus was protecting him and he proceeded to walk out of the room unharmed. I have shared this with others and have said that I am convinced that the same will happen for us, as long as Jesus has work for us to do, satan has no power to take our lives or injure us. If Jesus wants to martyr us, fine, but that is not a decision satan can make. I am learning to raise my faith to expect the miraculous from our Great God! Your word about how martial law cannot contain us just confirms all of this and is so encouraging! I also intend to ask Him to translate me if He wills to do so for His glory. I keep thinking of Psalm 115:1, “Not to us, not to us, but to Your Name give glory because of Your steadfast love [hesed] and faithfulness.”
Joseph,
Amen! Yes, everything, and even if it means martyrdom, will all be to His Glory! We truly DO NOT need to be concerned about ANYTHING the enemy brings our way! We are the sons and daughters of the MOST HIGH GOD! We are His, and He will take care of His OWN!
Wow! Praise God! I read your article this morning and have been thinking about it all day! I am reading my Bible right now and happen to be in the Book of Acts. Several minutes ago I read Acts 8:39-40 where Philip was translated after baptizing the eunuch. I’ve been born-again for a little over a year and am ashamed to say that I haven’t yet read the Bible in its entirety, but I am pretty certain that there are several instances of translations I have yet to find! I am just in awe that I read this passage on the same day of being blessed with your article. Thank you!
I understand 2 Kings 5:26 to be another such instance.
Christy,
I’m so happy you were blessed by this post! Yes, there are several instances of spirit and/or physical translations in the Old and New Testaments. Even the Apostle Paul spoke of this in 2 Cor 12:21. And yes, God is so good to give us confirmation when He’s showing us a “new” thing.
God bless!
THANKS FOR SHARING DEAR..GOD BLESS WITH LOVE AND PRAYERS. P
Diana, thank you for sharing what the Lord has shown you. It is truly humbling.
All the comments below inspire me! I love that about this website – my faith is built up, my expectations are enlarged. There’s a saying, “You become like the people you hang around with.” Y’all are good people to hang around!
Great article, I have a question if anyone out there knows about this, I use to see faces at night when I would go to bed and I would open my eyes real fast thinking I don’t want to see that, anyway last night I went to bed and I was listening to the common sense show about being prepared if something happens nothing strange, well I shut my eyes to relax and a face appeared so I quickly opened them and lay there listening to some more of the program well I shut my eyes again and this time I’m looking in or am I in there this bright well lit room, and there is this heavy set gal sitting on a large round foot stool with one leg tucked under her she had strawberry blond hair pulled to one side with a ribbon wrapped around it, her forehead looked like it went straight across and she had a small chin, I could see that she was smiling and I started to think that she was kind of odd looking and at that moment she swung her head around and looked straight at me with this big smile, and I thought she can see me so I opened my eyes real fast. This was strange for me because when I see faces there always men and it’s very dark around them no light, but this was a woman and there was light. I have to add I’m not into anything strange and meditat on the word of God only, why does this happen am I doing something that I might not be aware of, thanks if anyone knows about this.
Sherry,
Without knowing more about the situation, there’s no way to know for certain what you’re experiencing. But one thing’s for certain, the Lord knows! I’d immediately go to Him in prayer, asking for spiritual wisdom and discernment. Ask Him to reveal to you anything you need to know about the situation.
I would thank Him for the sacrifice of His dear Son, and claim the Blood of Jesus over everything in your life. Sherry, we know the Lord tells us over and over that we are to “fear not.” It sounds like these “visions” are scaring you, The Word says, “Perfect Love casts out fear.” So receive the perfect Love of the Father to forever cast this out of your life.
God bless!
Amen
Hi Sherry, I agree with what Diana said. I would add that if you are reading the Word and your life is generally clean then your discernment should also generally be good. The fact that you don’t like these faces is to me an indication that they are not from our Father.
Two things: I’d take authority straight away and command any evil spirit to depart from you and your house. That usually always works for me when I experience a similar thing.
Secondly, you say you used to see them. So perhaps there was somethung in your past that was an entry point for an evil spirit. Ask God to revel to you what that is if anything so you can repent and ask forgiveness. All doors from our past also need to be closed.
God bless you
Hello, Sherry C.
From my ongoing experiences, it sounds like these are familiar spirits (demons) messing with you.
Our dreams…somehow…are like a kind of conduit to the spirit world; especially during that in-between point of being awake and going into a dream state. God’s Word, though, gives us many powerful tools to defend ourselves against them.
I recommend:
1) Pleading the blood of Jesus over you (ref. Revelation 12:11).
2) Asking the Lord to place His armor or righteousness on your spirit body (ref. Ephesians 6:13-17).
3) Commanding God’s angels (authority is given, in Jesus’ name) to surround and protect you (ref. Psalm 91).
– – – – – – –
Also, you may have certain spiritual gifts which the enemy is aware of (another possible reason for the harassment). You may want to ask the Lord in prayer for Him to reveal to you the gifts He has given you.
Hope this helps 🙂
Hi Sherry C.
Good advice from Diana, Rob and Adam S.
I’d add to/ nitpick a bit what Adam S says:
1. Pleading the blood:
If you’re not from a charismatic/ pentecostal background this won’t mean much. I found this which might help:
http://www.jackhayford.org/teaching/articles/pleading-the-blood/
2. Asking the Lord to put his armour on us:
We’re to put it on ourselves, no need to ask him (same scripture reference…don’t forget v 18a)
3. Commanding angels:
I’ve studied the word and read separately on angelology and I don’t see anywhere that we do the commanding. The Lord does it…even in Ps 91. Also Heb 1:14 “Are not all angels ministering spirits SENT [by God, not commanded by us] to those who will inherit salvation?” It’s ok to ask him to send them.
I’d add:
4. Just command them to go, in the name [ie. with the full authority] of Jesus. You might find it’s that simple. This exact same thing happened to a friend of ours and this is what she did, as a rookie Christian. They changed instantly into black demonic things, like God was showing her exactly what they were, and they fled and never came back.
God bless you.
Thank God for showing you this and you for posting, I needed to hear this.
Thank you Diana for your obedience and your labor to get this msg right. I just finished reading the 35+ comments and this is what I perceive including my own reaction (which is joy and strengthening). Oh how good and kind the Lord is to give us what we need at exactly the right time.
I think the Lord is sending this msg to take the Body of Christ–us guys- to a higher level. A higher level for believing, for miracles, to stretch our faith to study and believe for whatever we are wanting/needing. This is a higher level of excitement and expectation and I would say “joy”. These words will cause many to grow in boldness. Some have been in fear and the Lord has diminished their fears with this loving msg. This higher level is like a new chapter–the Lord has given us more information, opened our eyes and spirit to stir us to want and expect this– (translation and other amazing miracles). To TRUST HIM. No more dread but an excitement for the future.
Cynthia,
Thank you for those words of confirmation. Yes, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered the heart of man, the things God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit…” (1 Cor 2:9-10). I believe you are absolutely right. Our Lord is taking the Body of Christ to an entirely new level, filling our hearts with EXPECTATION!!!
I used to be one of those who used to be in fear. I wanted to at least create an opening to share the gospel with a stranger. But I was (and remain) a quiet person and not easily prone to conversation. So, it was like a double whammy. I didn’t know how to overcome my fear. So I used to be in awe of those who could do this. I began to ask the Lord to deal with it.
Over time, the past year especially, the Lord has miraculously dealt with it. I now find myself doing beyond what I once imagined would be my best! And I know I haven’t even finished scratching the surface! Earlier, like Diana’s friend, Micah, I would question my worth. Over time, God has brought about a radical change in my thinking that I am very grateful for.
Sujit,
You stated:
“Over time, God has brought about a radical change in my thinking that I am very grateful for.”
Yes, truly “the mind is the battlefield,” “wherever the mind goes, the man/woman will follow,” and “whoever has our mind, has us.”
Also Scripture says, “Bring every thought into the captivity of Christ.”
Truly, our thoughts and words need to come into alignment with Scripture (absolute Truth; the Supernatural) despite what we see, hear, or feel (the natural). We don’t have to think or speak reports of the natural, but rather speak TO the “mountains” in the authority of Scripture as well as THE NAME of JESUS, and HIS BLOOD. (Speaking those things that are not as though they are, knowing that angels hearken to the WORD OF GOD, and that GOD watches after HIS WORD to perform it!)
Amen Diana our God is amazing. When we live for him and follow his word nothing is impossible!
A very unusual thing happened to me recently that is perhaps time to share based on this post.
I was at a Christian yoga retreat for the weekend and on the final eve we were scheduled for an hour and half long “meditational yoga”. When we entered the room it was dark except for hundreds of small candles lit along the corridors of the room.
One of the instructors had the most soothing voice and read scriptures one after another, while the other instructor gave direction on connecting our body to the words spoken. By the end of the 90 minutes I was deeply connecting to the scripture as we laid on our yoga mats for the final transition.
Everything seemed to disappear except the sound of the woman reading the scripture, when my body began to “transform”. My muscles became extremely rigid unlike any workout I had ever done. My back became like that of a tree trunk, my arms and legs began to flex as each muscle protruded under my skin. My legs and calves grew massive and very rigid and finally my buttocks began to contract and bulge until they were just a small point of flesh contacting with the floor.
I could feel my body metamorphosing, but I was more of an observer of, than controlling my body. My mind repeating, “read the next scripture, read the next” as though it was a food source. All I could concentrate on was the instructors voice! As my body fully flexed into some type of solid mass, I began to levitate. My body rose off the ground (likely no more than 4-6”) and was suspended by no earthly or gravitational means. After about 40-50 seconds the yoga practice ended as my body lowered and my muscles regained their normal appearance and structure.
I couldn’t understand what had occurred, although I knew I had moved into a scared space. I have been studying Acts, and the next morning I “happened” to be at the story of Phillip. I began reading about Phillips journey and the translation of him after his baptism to Azotus. (Acts 8:39). As soon as I read that passage, I knew in my spirit God wants us to know His capabilities defy human limitations.
That passage is so minimal in the book of Acts that I would have likely not realized God moved Phillip from one place to another, had it not been for God’s revealing the night prior.
I think we are at a time of awakening in many ways around the world because God wants as many people to know as possible His power over all things. It is easy to forget what He can and will do in such turbulent times as we now are living.
Hi Lori, God bless you. I wasn’t going to post anything in regards to your comment, but I I felt a little nudge to go ahead and do it. I may be wrong about this, so please seek the Lord about it. I used to practice yoga years ago, but decided to stop after learning about it’s roots in Hinduism. In fact, my profession is in fitness so it was very hard for me to let go of something that I felt was beneficial for my physical well being and of my clients. However, after some time, I kept feeling convicted while doing yoga so I decided not “lean on my own understanding” and simply obey what I felt the Lord was telling me Not to do anymore. If the poses where originally created to “worship Hindu gods” then I didn’t want to do anything that would offend our one true God. He is loving and forgiving but He is also a jealous God. I am certain what you experienced was from God and was absolutely beautiful, but please take to the Lord the issue about practicing yoga. Like I said, I didn’t want to post anything at first but I felt convicted to do so, because I know many brothers and sisters may be unaware of the roots to yoga. I was one of them not too long ago. As it gets closer to “midnight”, I am trying to remove all sin from my life. Even the things we never thought or knew were sinful. I am asking the Lord to show me what needs to be removed and to please forgive me.
I can certainly understand your position. I have practiced yoga for 15 years. There are origins of Eastern roots in some types of yoga, however Holy Yoga is an experiential worship created to deepen people’s connection to Christ. The sole purpose is to facilitate a Christ honoring experience that offers an opportunity to believers and non-believers alike to authentically connect to God through His Word, worship, and wellness. Holy Yoga exists to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth through the modality of yoga. There is no Hinduism practice and it is cultivating our bodies in the healthful ways God intended. If you ever get an opportunity to look into a Christian based program it may pleasantly surprise you. It is a strong connection to our mind, body and Holy Spirit.
I’d do some research on the kundalini spirit. That’s what this sounds like to me.
Ken,
Thank you for that little nugget of information. I did a search and watched a YouTube on it. Very informative! I feel the Lord wanted me to have this information. It seems the Lord has me in the School of Discernment right now. I thank you and I thank James Bailey for having this resource for us to share information, but most of all I thank our Lord and Savior for the Love He has for us and the knowledge He is imparting on us and helping us prepare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA9lQCnmZ2A
You’re welcome, B. Hansen. The deception will be thick and dark. Alien deception, strong delusions, fake rapture…I could go on and on. Check out http://www.stevequayle.com and Tom Horn’s research. Fascinating stuff. I know about these spirits through martial arts and eastern mysticism. It’s very, very deceptive. I had to quit Brazilian Jui-Jitsu because of it. It draws you in slowly, but surely. It looks and maybe even feels innocent, but it’s anything but.
That’s pretty much how I feel, but I will look more critically going forward! Thank you
Lori,
It is nice that you wanted to share your experience. I’m feeling as if the purpose of sharing is for the deceptive/dangerous element could be brought to light through some responding comments here.
It is so sad that they want to MIX this and call it Christian Yoga. That is a complete oxymoron. Please don’t be fooled by the use of Scriptures and the Christian label. Christianity is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Jesus is the only way, truth, and life.
It is 100% Jesus (LIGHT) or it is of the darkness.
One of the symbols of Yoga is the Yin and Yang. The goal is to the dark and light (black and white) balance together perfectly, so that “energy” or “chi” can come through. Well, we know that in Jesus there is NO DARKNESS, so this just cannot be right.
If there are experienced gained from this practice, they are most likely coming from “familiar spirits” (demonic). They know us better than we know ourselves and are seeking to lead us away step by step into eternal hell. They do so very cleverly and surely. They will appear as “angels of light,” making people feel happy with “experiences” or they may even counterfeit healing.
My advice would be to put your Nike’s on and RUN as fast as you can. I would guess that after 15 years of practice, that this action will probably “stir up” those spirits and cause some problems at that point, so be prepared to repent of being involved in Yoga and pleading the Blood of Jesus as well as calling on His Name. They will not likely leave without a fight, but better to get rid of them now than later.
Please see a wonderful book by Sid Roth called “Truth Seekers.” It’s about 10 people that were involved in various aspects of the New Age, including Yoga. It shows the problems of those practices as well as how and why they experienced true Christian conversion and fulfillment.
God Bless. JESUS. Nothing more. Nothing less. NOTHING ELSE.
Lori,
In writing about “spirits,” I’m referring to oppression, and not necessarily possession.
How did you folks even watch this stuff? I struggled to watch the whole thing! I mean I read about this stuff, but watching it…I feel such revulsion! And where is the discernment of all those leaders? I thought I was yet to see any major deception. But that video…I wish I was eloquent enough to express the extent of my discomfort.
I agree with you, Sujit. It is HIGHLY disturbing! If I walked in and saw someone shaking their head erratically and howling like a wolf…I’d want to cast the demon out! No wonder people won’t listen to our warnings and want to accept Jesus. If they see stuff like this, they’d think we’re all a bunch of whack-jobs!
It is interesting that you posted this video because my husband just shared this same exact video with me this week. We have been praying for discernment, especially in regards to something we saw being manifested in a small group the Holy Spirit directed us to help with. The group has about 50 young adults/teens in it and they are eagerly desiring the Holy Spirit, but then there was one young woman that we both discerned needed deliverance. I mentioned the “Kundalini” spirit that I had read about and my husband showed me this video. We certainly need to pray and prepare. I have been on my knees all week and seeking the Holy Spirit’s direction as well as protection over the young ones he has entrusted into our care. To see 50 young people worshiping and crying out to God for His presence is amazing and I am vigilant in making sure that nothing gets in the way of that to the extent I am able to assist in that.
Prayers from all of you would be greatly appreciated!
exactly what came to my mind
The “kundalini” energy or spirit is also known as “serpent power.”
My husband and I felt led to join a “small group” a few weeks ago that a young man started that is loosely affiliated with our church. I had a vision before I was even invited to the group where I saw myself as a “mother hen gathering chicks under her wings” when I was helping my teenage daughter register for classes a couple months ago. Then I was invited to this group where there are over 50 young adults/teens meeting. Most are very sincere in seeking the Holy Spirit with such passion and zeal. It is amazing. But then last week my husband and I were very disturbed by one young woman that seemed to be manifesting something that was not of the Lord at all.
My husband and I have been out of the mainstream Charismatic churches for over a decade. We are still very much “Spirit filled” but we knew that the Lord had called us to a specific church that was not. So it is a bit shocking to see some things that are considered “normal” in these circles. A young woman began to laugh (and laughter in of itself isn’t problematic) but it was a very disruptive and distracting laughter mixed with twitching. Also as we got near to her she would quiet down. Some of the things she was saying to the young woman next to her were not Biblical but more like “the power is in you” and “God will bless your own desires” kind of messages as we leaned in to hear what was being said. Also, as she put her arms around the young woman next to her the young lady began to manifest a similar kind of response. I told my husband later, as we were praying about it, that it made me think of this “Kundalini” spirit I had read about. We then looked online for more information, and I emailed my mentor too. My mentor said that I should be careful not to judge in the flesh and make sure to seek the Holy Spirit always in these situations, which is wise because I certainly don’t want to put out the Holy Spirit’s fire! But then I don’t want to allow any unclean spirit to manifest and put out the fire in that way either! Or see this young woman bring a deceiving spirit to others that are there innocently seeking the Holy Spirit in truth.
I am praying all week that the Holy Spirit will give my husband and I the much needed discernment and guidance and that any “unclean spirit” will not be allowed in these meetings. Any prayers from all of you would be appreciated as well.
Mar,
I also attend a prayer group a couple times a month. It’s a very small and intimate group. But the enemy tries all kinds of things to distract, disrupt, and stop the power of prayer groups.
Whenever I get together with others to pray, I always try to remember to bind the hand of the enemy, to cast out all unclean spirits, and plead the Blood of the Lamb over the group and the perimeter of the space.
But it sounds like you guys have a disruptive familiar spirit from what you’ve described, with the words coming out of her mouth a give away.
God Bless!
Amen
Mar R,
A few days back, I witnessed a lady twitch and cry when two brothers and I were casting out demons from her.
We were actually going to pray for a swelling that had manifested in her arm, but when I laid hands on her to pray, she began to twitch and cry and later confessed that she experienced a burning sensation where I touched her on the arm.
Incidentally, just the day before, we had delivered her from demonic oppression, and we had seen the same phenomenon—twitching followed by crying. Her family seemed to own a tattoo shop with a demonic poster as advertisement, and we told her that she needed to rid herself of this. However, the next day, we found her sitting in the same place at the same shop.
I was then reminded of Matthew 12:43–45. You’d also note that I experienced no ill effects on touching her, and I put it down to 1 John 4:4.
Interesting Sujit. Did you mention to the young woman you prayed for that she needs to seek Jesus? It may be hard for her to change all aspects of her life, and leave the tattoo shop at this point, but I would think that she would certainly desire freedom from torment. I pray those demons do not return and she accepts Jesus into her life.
In the small group we are attending I asked the Lord if I should lay hands on the young woman in the group that was twitching and laughing and pray for her but the Holy Spirit told me “no.” This was puzzling to me. I wonder if because we were in a group setting, and the Holy Spirit was doing a work in other hearts there for sure, if perhaps it would have been even more distracting if I had tried to do so? Regardless, I need to just obey. God said not to lay my hands on her, so I didn’t.
I don’t have much experience in deliverance ministry. It just hasn’t been something I have been exposed to much. But I do have the best “teacher” so I just need to heed His voice, even if it doesn’t make sense to me. I am always trying to figure out the exact reasons God is telling me to do things, but this just shows a lack of faith and trust on my end. I just need to “pray, listen, and obey.” I don’t have to know all the reasons.
We actually shared the gospel with her the previous day, and she was so overcome with emotion that she wanted to be baptized the next day, which is why we went searching for her the next day. When we found her though, she recanted her words and said that she wanted to wait a few more days.
I think about the eunuch that Philip baptized. There was water nearby just like then. The gospel had been explained to her just like to the eunuch. But the response…totally different.
God bless you Sujit for “fighting the good fight!” Don’t be discouraged by moments like these. I am blessed by all of your posts. Ever since the Holy Spirit gave me such a vivid “picture” of you I eagerly look for all your posts and I am filled with joy to see how God is using you there!
India has a special place in my heart, having spent a couple life changing weeks there. God really opened my eyes during those two weeks and I have never been the same. He taught me so much about His Kingdom and how He sees things. I have said this here before, but I will say it again, God has many precious children in India that He is so pleased with! I felt His pleasure and joy and saw that they were “royalty” in His eyes. So incredibly humbling, yet so powerful.
“Christ conciousness” or Jesus Christ of Nazareth? They are not the same.
Yoga means “to yoke”. Yoga is yoking an evil spirit to your spirit (like putting a harness on an oxen or horse). The spirits then “drive” you as they please… check out Mike Shreve, he is a former yoga instructor.

Hi Lori, when it comes to your form of yoga as you describe it you need to step back to look at the big picture. When Christians take a practice/system/tradition that has demonic roots and renovate it with a Holy Spirit brush so it looks/smells/feels like Jesus you have exactly what you are looking at – a demonic system that has been painted with the face of Jesus.
Why do this? The implication is that Jesus without a worldly hook will not reach the people of today. The implication is that Jesus alone has no power, but marry Him with the things of this world and you now have an outreach opportunity for the Christian community. Or is it our rebellion, we still want what we want but sprinkle some Jesus into it so we can sanctify it and claim it as Holy. Holy Spirit believers or demonically filled believers?
We can’t outsmart the devil with our own cleverness – he has been working on man for centuries and knows every trick. We can, however, choose to reject absolutely everything that the devil is associated with and say No, then stand naked of the things of this world, clothed in Jesus alone.
I speak from experience Lori and it took me a long time to ‘get’ this. I was stubborn, I was proud, I thought I knew stuff. Only to discover I didn’t know anything. Back to the drawing board, let’s start from scratch. Father was kind enough to allow me to start again.
Bless you Lori.
I don’t think you can clean up yoga any more than you can clean up Halloween! I know that may make some mad but I believe it is the truth.
Lori, I believe “Christian” yoga is an oxymoron.Everything I have studied on this tells me to stay away. All yoga positions are in showing reference to Hindu gods, demons; therefore it can never be Christian. Maybe someone who has more experience can chime in on this.
I understand many people make the association to yoga as you do. With complete reliance on God’s Word and prayer, this form of Yoga invites us to surrender and introduces us to Grace. When we breathe and move and have our being in Christ, we find ourselves in the flow of His magnificence. There is often a misunderstanding that yoga is a religion; it is not. Yoga is a spiritual discipline, much like prayer, fasting and meditation. Yoga has the capacity to enhance our personal beliefs and faith. It has no honoring of other gods or worship.
We meditate on the wisdom of God’s Word (Psalm 119:9-16, 26-27), not on man’s wisdom. We seek the transcendence and glory of God, not our own. I could have had the experience in a workout club, sleeping in my own bed, or camping under the stars, but it was God’s moment to choose the location and connection to His power.
Lori,
I have quoted you below:
“I understand many people make the association to yoga as you do. With complete reliance on God’s Word and prayer, this form of Yoga invites us to surrender and introduces us to Grace. When we breathe and move and have our being in Christ, we find ourselves in the flow of His magnificence. There is often a misunderstanding that yoga is a religion; it is not.”
Well, at one time in the not so distant past, I thought as you do now.
Through consistent personal time in THE WORD, the Holy Spirit has shown me that “I once was lost and now am found, was blind, but now I see.”
I understand that Hindus are not too happy with “Christian Yoga.” They view Yoga as identical with Hinduism. How would Christians feel if the Yin-Yang symbol was put up in their churches beside the Cross? Well, if that wouldn’t seem right (which it isn’t), then why would we go to the Yin Yang sign in our free time as we walk out the narrow way in the daily life?
Always remember that as I’ve heard someone else state: “Would you eat the Chili if you knew just a little ‘pooh’ was mixed in?” Certainly not!
A friend of mine involved in Yoga has recently received a strong warning dream of his eternal destination being in jeopardy because of this
involvement. The dream included elements of end-time calamity along with exposition that none of those postures/exercises had ANY power to allow entrance into Heaven.
lori,
In China, there are 12 birth signs, and feng shui. Whenever is there any body ask me which birth sign do I belong to, I always say I belong to Jesus. I do not belong to any sign. When ever people talk about feng shui to me, I simply said that Jesus is my feng shui, I have no other feng shui. ( No body tell me to answer this way, I just simply know it intuitively. )
You have 15 years’ root of Yoga. Under your free will, you do Yoga — that’s why the Lord ( Jesus ) cannot stop you doing it — because it is your free will. Of course, Yoga belong to Hindu. Concerning the Budism, some people say Budism is not a religion, it is a way of life. No matter what’s your explanation about your Christian Yoga, it is still a Yoga, and it belong to Hindu.
I think you are putting the salvation of the Lord ( Jesus ) on the line by not quitting the Yoga. If you choose to cut off the link with Yoga, you need to say a prayer in Jesus’ name. You can say a prayer like this ” Lord Jesus, if You do not want me to do this kind of Christian Yoga, please send 3 people to tell me FACE TO FACE to stop doing the Christian Yoga within 3 months. )
For myself, I would not put the salvation of the Lord ( Jesus ) on the line for myself.
Lori, I thought about this off and on last night and I prayed about it also. I noticed that the other miracles mentioned here were for protection or to help people in some way. I believe that the levitation you experienced with not from God. I really couldn’t even imagine Jesus doing the downward facing dog or any other poses. They all have a meaning and I think you do know that. I do hope you will find another form of exercise. This is not to offend you but to help you realize you cannot mix Christianity and yoga. You can mix another religion, and yoga is a religion, with Christianity.
Lori,
when you do Yoga and the different positions, you are submitting yourself to the various Hindu idols. Each position has a meaning. Do not be deceived Yoga is idol worship. Christians should NEVER do yoga!
shalom
Lori, I must agree with others that are warning against this, we cannot mix ancient mysticism with God and think that we are serving God. In Deuteronomy God specifically tells his people not to adopt the practices of these other nations. Satan always tries to deceive us by mixing truth with a lie. Another danger is that you are mixing experience with the Will of God, yes you had an experience but if you are doing something that God has forbidden then why do you think it was God that guided the experience? New age teaching is all about the experience, people are searching for and finding the experience and then they believe that it is God, but it is the experience they are searching for to satisfy their own desire. Please look at “The Beautiful Side of Evil” I cannot think of the author but she has personal experience in this false experiential Christianity (video on youtube).
God Bless, please listen to and at least explore what your brothers and sisters in Christ are trying to share with you, salvation is too important to be wrong about.
YES stay away. Just find a nother form of regular exercise non yoga non martial arts ect.
Yes, this “mixture” is all part of satan’s terrible end-time deception.
He knows his time is SHORT and he wants to craftily lure as many unsuspecting people as possible slowly but surely into an eternity in hell then the Lake of Fire. AWFUL!!!
Thanks to all. Ken, I have not heard of that, but I will look into it. Sometimes we do not see things and I appreciate this group!
Bear in mind that Yoga was brought to the United states a little over hundred years ago to get the US citizens to accept Hinduism, and Eastern thought. They taught openness and tolerance. There was no way that the Christian US was going to accept false Gods during this era, so the ‘gurus’ brought there exercises with them. But there was always a hidden agenda, as one of the founders of it’s Western export, the Mahareshi Mahesh Yogi stated, “There is no such thing as Hinduism without Yoga, and there is no such thing as Yoga without Hinduism”. Their goals were simple, introduce the supposed healing and exercising properties of Yoga, and people will go after it – then teach them openness leading to Pluralistic thought, which is Hinduism. Then tell the people that the real good Yogi’s are in India, and you need to go there for “real” enlightenment. Almost every Yoga book (I’m sure not the Christian ones) have near the end a photo of a Hindu god. When I first heard of this, I walked into a bookstore myself and saw this to be true. Then within 50 years people were visiting India where they believed they would find “Enlightenment” being enamored with gurus. All the while the Christians in India are sharing with the Hindus how to escape the lostness and hopeless of Hinduism which fed the Caste system, and the destruction of millions of people. Within 70+ years Westerners were pouring money and their lives into India, completely blind to the poverty and destruction that Hinduism causes in its adherents – like the Caste system. You see, you could never get American Christians to believe in other gods, but within 100 years much of Western America is concurred by Easter thought. You have Americans now almost demanding that all gods are equal, that we should respect them all, and that they should be honored, and that Christianity is too “exclusive”. Did you ever wonder where this came from? Hindus say that you must except everything, EXCEPT the exclusivity of Christianity. So while they claim openness, they are absolutely exclusivists against Christian thought. There are killings in Indian Christians all the time TODAY by Indian Hindu “fanatics”, they call them. Look into it. The fabulously wealthy Hindu gurus are laughing their heads off while the US pours money and their bodies into their “Enlightenment”. Actually these deceivers really only want the money and the American women — and full enlightenment means that the women give them their bodies. You see even if somehow Yoga could be “Christianized”, what it leads to is further acceptance of Yoga, and the next generation won’t understand your “Christianization” of it, and will just fall to the Hinduistic beliefs system. Ask yourself, why don’t 100 million Christians in India practice this? Answer: They know better! Run from it.
True enlightenment is knowing Jesus personally!
I was born and raised in India. I was never too far from anything about Hinduism or yoga. But it was only as an adult that I began to suspect that there was more to yoga than just exercise. Somehow, I was kept away from all of it. I believe that it was God who protected me from its influence in some way that I do not yet understand. I have seen this kind of protection play out all my life but only in hindsight does it become clear.
I must point out though that Christians in India are not immune to this or any other deception. It is not just youngsters getting lured into it; I am witnessing seasoned, lifelong Christian elders getting lured into this.
There is no breathing exercise or positioning involved when I meditate on the Word of God. I just read the scriptures and try to listen for his still small voice to see if he has anything to say to me. Sometimes he does; sometimes he doesn’t. I begin my quiet time with prayer and end it with prayer.
I tend to give everyone the benefit of doubt. So I hesitate to judge. Because of this, I feel I am somewhat lacking in discernment and so I diligently pray that God preserves me against any deception. So, it is a wonder (if you ask me) that I never fell headlong into any New Age teaching. In fact, this wariness about deception almost led me to the other extreme of skepticism.
But once I regularly began to meditate on the Word of God, I found my refuge in his promises. What this has resulted in is me slowly becoming neither gullible nor skeptical. I feel like God is coaching me in this area. I’ve been increasing my time praying in the Spirit and near regularly asking the Lord to preserve me against deception. He has responded by telling me to keep reading the Word and spending time in prayer.
In my experience, he has either prevented me from being in a position where I can be deceived or if I happened to be getting into one, he has fished me out of it. I wouldn’t be here if not for him.
Yes, I thought about the experience after I read through all the comments posted and I agree God does miracles that are holy and I cannot make any connection to this experience and a holy miracle. So after prayerful consideration and the “error” on the side of protection and look for another form of care of my body, which is very stressful to me as I have an autoimmune disease and keeping this level of muscle mobility and conditioning is essential. Many common forms such as weight lifting and running are not good options for me.
I very much appreciate everyone’s posts which have allowed me a reflect on a “blind spot” in my life.
Blessings to all
Praise the Lord, Lori!!
Remember, Jesus is the Great Physician, and the Gos-Pill (Gospel) is available. Take your “3 a day”— 3 Chapters a Day from the Gospel of John, even “morning, noon, and night.” Healing is for today. Find the healing Scriptures and repeat over and over. Sid Roth has a Healing Scriptures booklet and CD available. Simple walking while thinking of Scriptures is a GREAT gentle exercise.
Many blessings to you Lori. You seem to be humble as a child (as we should be). I believe that the Lord will use you.
Again I say, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
Hi Lori, God bless you for sharing your heart here with your z3 family. I am reminded of the scripture in Proverbs 27:17 “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend”. I’m happy we have a community here to reach out to, that loves Yeshua and is here to warn and encourage others in a loving way, as Yeshua would want us to. I want to share with you that I also have an autoimmune condition, Hashimotos hypothyroidism. i would recommend calesthincs, which are simply body weight exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, plank etc. Cycling, swimming, walking… These exercises work very effectively and I often have my clients with autoimmune conditions do this. I also recommend avoiding gluten, corn, dairy and soy. Try to avoid genetically modified foods as much as possible. There’s a reason God gave us the scripture in Genesis 1:29 about the seed-bearing plant for food. Genetically modified foods don’t have seeds, they are man’s creation and it’s killing us. I am praying for you Lori, believe me I was in your shoes. That is why I was also lured into doing yoga before. I am thankful God opened my eyes and I pray He continue doing so for myself and for the whole church. Love and hugs!
Corina Luu,
Wonderful words of wisdom and truth!
Thank you!!
Also Lori, here’s a song that I often listen to, by Lauren Daigle. https://youtu.be/4cxeEd2BIgo
It has helped me get through many days when I had a difficult time just getting out of bed, and feeling real physical pain all over my body. It was so hard to work and try to help people when I, myself, didn’t feel well. The Lord has helped me through this and I now feel He wants me to help people in a different way. I’ve worked in fitness for many years, but I feel the need to begin an end-time fitness ministry. I want to help people get healthy the way the Lord has helped me to. I want to physically prepare them for what’s coming while the Lord spiritually prepares us. I envision having a group of people, a community like the one here, where we meet to pray, to war in spirit, and to exercise. I pray God will direct me and give me a strategy of how to do this, if it is His will. God bless you.
Corina Luu,
That sounds wonderful as well as unique. I pray that you have Holy Spirit direction, guidance and in-filling for this End-time ministry. We each have an assignment!
Thank you so much!! God bless you Peggy!! Amen!!
Dear Lori,
Christianity and “meditational yoga” (i.e. eastern religions) just do not mix: it’s, spiritually, akin to mixing water and oil. Also, I have to be forward here in telling you that the phenomena which caused your body to levitate off the ground wasn’t from God.
Please approach the Lord in prayer on this one — and boldly ask Him to confirm His stance on worship mixed with meditational yoga.
Yes ,, spiritual life is diffrent , ruling by holy spirit, meditation yoga is diffrent, fill ed with devil spitit lot of bounded in india
Diana – Thank you for sharing this from the Lord! I too have experienced translation but only asleep, that I can remember. I awoke one morning and somehow knew that I had spent the last 30 days ministering the gospel to a dying man who was fighting addiction. I had incredible understanding into how those 30 nights had been spent including interacting with a younger girl as well as the man during those nights. I am excited and will wait with GREAT anticipation for the move of the Lord!
Rachel,
Awesome!!! That is exactly why the Lord is saying, “Do not be afraid of martial law; martial law will not be able to contain you!” We will be about our Father’s business no matter what is going on!
Thank you for sharing, Rachel
Amen! It’s just like saying you cant pray in school, etc…Nothing can stop you!
Beautiful and inspiring!! Thank you for sharing Diana! GBU!!
I truly believe this will happen. I keep claiming to people I will be literally flying without wings one day, and it will all be done to glorify the name of Jesus, and win souls.
Matt,
Amen! Thanks to Jesus, we are not of this world and no longer bound by it!
I believe it Matt because it is written here: “Who are these who fly like a cloud and like the doves to their lattices?” (Isaiah 60:8)
Amen!
Ha! ? I knew it, Diana! This is why my spirit resonates so much with your posts. You already have some experience under your belt, as do many others on this site. This IS where we are going with the Lord, individually and at times, collectively. We are not to be those who shrink back, but those that move forward in faith. And I want all the Lord wants to give me, for His glory and purposes!
Grace,
Thank you for those words of confirmation. These are sober, but exciting times for the Body of Christ! And we most certainly need EVERYTHING Jesus died to give us, now and in the days ahead.
God bless!
Diana, thank you so much for this inspiring, awesome word. Your post confirms what the Lord has been showing me. I tell people all the time that I do not ever want to limit God. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ever express or imagine. Nothing is impossible with God. It is amazing to watch God touch people and heal them as we step out in faith. I am in awe every time and humbled to be vessel that He works through to bring joy, peace, and healing. I thank Him and praise Him for all that He is and all that He has done. Prepare ye the way of the Lord. The King is coming!
Yes, Debbie! Any time we step out in Faith, we’re dazzled by His Goodness, and left in awe! Come soon Lord Jesus!
That is awesome!!! I was translated at one time myself and it happens so fast, like the blink of an eye. I pray He is about to do that again with me. Our God has no limitations on what He is capable of doing!!
AMEN and happy for you that you got to experience that too! Our YAH (GOD) IS AWESOME!!
Oh my goodness Diana! This is soo exciting!!!! I am loving this! Can’t wait for Part 2!!!!!! AMAZING!! I’ve always wondered about these things now I’m going to pray about them and speak them into existence in my family’s future!! Thank you for the lesson and sharing. Please bring more!!
Katie,
So happy that you were blessed by this Word for the Church. Yes, just pray about it and sign up for duty! I always ask Him to use me as He see fit, whatever and however!
The Stone Edition of my Tanach has in English for Psalm 144:5..”Hashem! Bend Your heavens and descend; touch the mountains and they will go up in smoke. (6)Flash a lightening bolt and scatter them; shoot Your arrows and panic them. (7) Stretch out Your hands from above; release me and rescue me from great waters, from the hand of strangers.”
Matches the picture of the posting! And matches the testimonies of many. Bending time and space, portals of heaven touching earth, time shrinking and expanding, atoms passing through “solid” items….yup sounds like God to me. HE has huge sleeves and much up there yet to see and experience!
Sarah,
Awesome summation! God bless you, Sister!
Thank you for sharing this with us Diana. The tremendous sense of urgency associated with your message is consistent with so many recent stories and comments posted on Z3 and throughout the prophetic realm.
The following video by Steve Fletcher (https://youtu.be/9fjCexM53u0) is a follow up to Dewey Bruton’s video from 2005 on Daniel’s Timeline (https://youtu.be/GuTb99tBC0c) and it unpacks SPECIFICALLY perhaps why we should be living with a sense of ‘urgency’ and ‘expectation’ and is consistent with (i) messages and warnings provided by Pastor Faircloth, Matt Smith and others about events that have or are to happen in the 60-90 day period from September up to the end of November and (ii) the message from Murray’s daughter about selling FAZ in November for $10,000 rather than waiting to sell FAZ when it reaches $100,000 at some later date.
The main premise of Steve’s video is that the ‘abomination of desolation’ took place on March 22, 2013 when Obama ‘stood in the holy place’ as described in Daniel and referenced by both books of Matthew (24:15) and Mark (13:14) as THE sign that relates to the timing of Christ’s return.
This exact same premise was added as a comment by ‘Joshua’ on September 4, 2015 (11:27 pm) under a previous story posted by James entitled ‘Ten Things that Must Happen Before the Rapture’ ( https://z3news.com/w/ten-things-that-must-happen-before-the-rapture/). With meekness and humility, is it possible that these ‘Ten Things’ have or are happening before our eyes but just not exactly in the same manner that we have assumed and/or interpreted previously? If we are so far off from a timing perspective and so much more needs to happen before Christ’s return, why is there such a sense of urgency being given by our Lord to so many beloved and reliable prophets?
After we seek the Lord and pray for wisdom, truth and discernment, I would really appreciate any additional insight from the Z3 Family so that we can continue to sharpen our swords (iron sharpening iron) together, share the Gospel with boldness and await His glorious return.
For those interested, this subsequent video below posted yesterday by Steve Fletcher discusses in more detail the 45 day period (1,335 – 1,290) between October 3 (yesterday) and November 17 (the same day on God’s calendar that the flood in the days of Noah began) and makes reference to Obama Care, the Mark of the Beast, the looming economic collapse, the Rapture, etc. https://youtu.be/iuKCywmnDnE
Blessings to all!
Gary,
Thank you for your comment. I feel your excitement, sense of urgency, and intense desire to get a better grasp on the timeline of all this. I’m thinking most everyone on this site feels the same way. So my comment is only from my personal experience:
I know we have to watch world events so we’re not caught unaware, and we need to listen to what the Lord’s prophets are saying. But we have to be very careful in doing this. We know that there is no one out there who has all the pieces. Each of us are right about some things, and wrong about other things. We only see in part. Here’s how I personally cope with this:
I try to stay in as close relationship with the Lord as possible, mostly listening to His voice – instead of all the others. I stand on the promises of Jesus when He said the Holy Spirit would “Remind us of His Word, lead us into all truth…..and show us things to come.” I trust the Lord to show me what I need to know, when I need to know it. And yes, the Holy Spirit is giving me a sense of URGENCY as never before. I’m sorry for being so long winded here….
God bless you, Gary!
Greetings Diana! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and words of wisdom with me – it is so very much appreciated. Over the past few years, the Lord has lead me on a path to do an in depth study of the Jewish Feasts and it was around that same time that I first watched Dewey Bruton’s video about Daniel’s Timeline. Since this presentation is so rich with information (including many references to the Jewish Feasts), I watched it 4-5 times and got more out of it each time as it resonated with me deeply. I shared the video link with some Christian friends at the time but did not get much of a response.
As I ‘fast forward’ to the present, I sense that the Lord has lead me back to this video several weeks ago and around the same time, I came across Steve Fletcher’s video which essentially reaffirms and builds upon much of what Mr. Bruton had presented. As a Watchmen, I feel compelled to do my part to get this information out – not just because I believe it holds much truth (and relates specifically to the very times we are living in) but also because I would like to learn what refinement might be required in this timeline from other believers and of course, from the Lord as I do believe that the Lord takes pleasure in us seeking wisdom and truth as it concerns His return.
When I hear bold words of urgency similar to those that you have shared above and the words of a growing number of respected prophets and believers, it resonates deeply with me and is consistent with the Biblical timelines shared by Mr. Bruton (in 2005), Mr. Fletcher and many others. Conversely, there are so many others that feel strongly that we have many, many years and/or decades before the glorious return of Christ.
As a seasoned CPA, I feel compelled to continue on my quest (with help from the Lord and from other believers) to attempt to…’reconcile the difference’ – while boldly sharing the Gospel.
May the Lord continue to richly bless you!
Hi Gary
Let me point to you that selling FAZ at 10,000$ when it reaches $100,000 at some later date is good advice. Because he said to ”use the proceed to purchase silver that will be trading as low at $10 an ounce in November 2016 but it will skyrocket to over $750” in the first months of 2017. So he is just saying to exchange an investment that will multiply 10 times for another investment that will multiply 75 times.
I remember the silver prediction. I’m not in the stock market like many but I am ready to invest in silver.
Thank you for your explanation, Francine – this makes perfect sense. I am hopeful that the precise timing and market values referenced will come to fruition so that we can all do our part to help expand the Kingdom as time winds down. Blessings!
Please be careful. FAZ reaching $10,000 in November sounds very unlikely to happen in my opinion.
It would match the updated interpretation of orthodox Jewish calendar timing that was posted in: https://z3news.com/w/factors-pointing-stock-market-crash-fall.
It has the crash causing the skyrocketing of FAZ like a rocketship by sunset on Nov 1, 2016. It is hard to dismiss the synchronicity of these words. I don’t think it is coincidence. It looks like the big kahuna crash will begin prior to Nov 1 and at some point in Nov, we may well see $10K FAZ and based on conservative ratios of FAZ-UVXY coupled with unprecedented volatility, $20K+ UVXY.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I also had a dream in the end of Dec 2015, where I distinctly heard “Judgement will fall in 330 days”. This again puts us towards the end of Nov 2016.
Now this I haven’t shared before, but I sought the Lord very specifically about Murray/Kristiann’s word. Has she heard truly from Yeshua. At night, in response to these prayers, I heard a repeating verse reference, echoing through my mind as I slept. I knew to remember it and look it up in the morning as I didn’t know it said. I hoped it was going to be something positive : ). It was “Genesis 17:6”. I looked it up and while the second half is a stretch in the physical, I believe the first half is a direct answer from the Lord I am claiming as at least one confirmation that Kristiann has actually heard from the Lord correctly.
Genesis 17:6
I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.
I interpret this answer to prayer with the first part as a confirmation of true intel from the Lord that came through Kristiann and the second part as a spiritual understanding that the result of this incredible wealth transfer will ultimately be for His Kingdom…to enable a physical protectorate when the world is overrun with evil and to expand His Kingdom through great spiritual harvest where new believers that are physically and spiritually protected/fed/hidden will one day rule and reign with the rest of us as King and Priests in God’s eternal kingdom with the King of Kings as our Head.
Thanks Gary,Absolutely incredible stuff on Obama i am totally convinced Steven Fletcher is right.Everyone please watch these videos.Obama is the antichrist i have just been convinced.
Bimsy, I am glad that you found this information helpful. I really appreciate the work that Mr. Bruton and Mr. Fletcher have done in explaining their ideas with extensive Scriptural support and insight on the times in which we live. Blessings!
Gary,here is a scripture which would indeed help Steven Fletcher continue the story,Zechariah 6v12,13
And speak unto him saying,thus speaketh the Lord of hosts,saying Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH and he shall grow up out of his place,and he shall build the temple of the Lord and he shall bear the glory and shall sit and rule upon his throne and he shall a priest upon his throne,,and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Jesus is the BRANCH of Jesse,therefore i believe that it clearly states that Jesus will build the Temple when he returns back to earth.This would fit in perfectly with Stevens interpretations.
Thank you for sharing this Bimsey. This Scripture reference definitely lines up. Steve does a thorough job at distinguishing between ‘sitting and standing’ and between ‘temple and ‘holy place’. These differences are subtle from a linguistic perspective but prophetically speaking, I believe they are significant.
Matthew 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divide his sheep from the goats: note: the whole world is not a goat nation. Leaves no sheep to fight with ? Walid Shoebat on Sid Roth Show it is 3:28 minutes long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs_09o5j_pY
Gary, my husband and I watched 2 of the 3 videos. We enjoyed Daniel’s time line. His math and confirmations were amazing. We have a question. What about the two witnesses? I know he made this in 2005. If not this cycle, when does this push out to? Has he done a follow up video?
Gary,no coincidence.I notice the lack of thumbs up to the reference to Jesus building the temple is obviously fear,as people have head the mainstream view that the antichrist will commit the abomination of desolation in the temple.If people would read revelation carefully it says over and over again that the temple is in HEAVEN. rev 11 v 19 and rev 14 v 17
There is a temple in heaven and also a new temple will be built in Jerusalem. The antichrist does not enter the temple in heaven, but he does enter the temple on earth. See Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4.
I came across this interesting video this morning by Pastor Paul Begley from back in early 2012 (http://youtu.be/1711-Qzvxk4) that makes reference to Obama Care and the legislative requirement to obtain an RFID chip (which many associate with the Mark of the Beast). What’s most interesting is that the effective date in the legislation was…March 23, 2013 which is the day after the proposed date that the ‘abomination of desolation’ took place as referenced above. Coincidence?
I had an experience that for three days i was in my home town but half of the cars were from a different era,i think they were cars from the 90s,it was not frightening but i was puzzled and asking the Lord to bring me back to normality.I know this sounds crazy but someone new was living in my neighbors house,but i was to afraid to go near them.One day i walked to my local park and i sat on a bench,all the people in the park i knew were different and happier,some of their hair was not the colors you see on earth and their clothes were more beautiful and the colors more vivid,it was awesome.To this day i do not know if i was on earth or translated to another dimension,all i know is that my surroundings were the same.I still do not know the purpose of this vision/translation other than to be in awe of the power of the Lord Jesus.
Wow, Bimsy! Thank you for sharing your very interesting experience. Yes, that’s definitely something to ask the Lord about. And He’ll show you in His perfect timing. Thanks again!
Thanks Diana.
Yes & Amen Diana ! The Supernatural is Natural for the Creator and HIS Children . At least six times ABBA has saved my life by what we call the Supernatural , Angels have shown up four times ( at least ) when the LORD had me go into dangerous situations , three times I have had knives pulled on me , twice put to my throat , had 40 horses stampede while I was on foot in the middle of the herd and they just went around me , seen the dead raised . Our GOD is awesome and has no limits , we just need to believe HE is who HE says HE is ! Blessings & Prayers for all on Z3 .
John,
I like what you said, “The Supernatural is Natural for the Creator and His Children.” Jesus said we are no longer of this world, so we need to get accustomed to doing and experiencing things the way they’re done in our Heavenly Father’s world! I love it!
Amen
Thank you Diana……Never put the Lord in a box!
Diana,
Wow is all I can say….I have been translated many times by the Spirit and some I dont even know where….. all the time.however I did actually feel my spirit connect back with my.body once,,and you are right..expect the unexpected because in the months ahead God is going to do some miraculous things… Living in the supernatural………Thank you much…….
Bette,
Yes, Amen! Our God is definitely going to do some miraculous things! And I know what you mean about feeling your spirit come and go. One particular time, which I will share in Part 2, I felt my spirit leave and then come back.
God bless you, Sister!
Diana,yes God is doing things and will do things,however I am cautioned to say this that there is a distinct difference.between a translation of Holy Spirit verses counterfeit and astro projections…..I have come into some of this when I have done deliverance…….Some of the things people are into and how they have a Holy Spirit encounter is not what they think it is………so much wisdom is needed.,which is lacking somewhat……..GBU
Yes, absolutely! Satan is the master counterfeiter. I’ve heard ex-satanists speak of Astro projections. The New Age movement is really into that.
Blessings to you!
Yes, yes. … and i’ll go with you to India.. 🙂
I wanted to ask you Michelle, do you happen to be the Michelle that lives in the Ozarks and knows Janice Wolf?
Wow Diana, this really hit me this morning! I got up thinking about my mom who I lost in 2005 and how I wished that I could see her again and talk to her. Then I came down here and pulled up this site and found this article. The other day I had an encounter going to town. We were driving down our rural highway and I was looking at the telephone poles, and for some reason a pole reminded me of Jesus on the cross (with the crosspiece and the braces under the crosspiece). All of a sudden I heard Him say, ‘You don’t believe me, I will prove it to you”. It shocked me and I immediately felt humbled in my spirit because I knew it was the Lord showing me that He is going to be doing mighty things soon and showing us miracles.
I have been through some tremendous trials in the past 16 years non-stop including losing my dad to suicide, my mom, losing our home and farm, health challenges, financial, and even spiritual (was formerly a JW for 16 years until I realized the things I learned were not true and saw many people turn against us), and on and on. So this was like another ‘wake up call’ from the Lord that He is about to show us some miraculous things in our lived for those of us that want a closer deeper relationship with Him and for Him to use us to the best of our ability. I also sing and for a long time held back on that because of shyness and a couple of years ago decided I needed to take that step in faith about that and start using my voice to the best of God’s glory for Him and He has already given me a boldness I have never had before. Praise Him for giving you this message and I hope it helps others out there to see how great He is!
I also had a similar message from God. ( I was awake because I had just got up to use the bathroom.) I was looking from overhead at the stadium where I used to go to concerts when I lived in Billings MT. All of the chairs were empty and then I heard, “God will do something mighty”. Hang in there Nancy, I also lost my mother tragically and I have longed to see her. What a day that will be.
Bonnie,
What and encouraging Word you received. I too am looking forward to seeing several family member lost through horrible tragedy.
Thank you!
Wow, Nancy! Yes, sing out His praises! He is telling His people, “Tell my people to open their mouths!” This is what I kept hearing at an intimate prayer group the other night. Ask Him for it all! Volunteer for whatever and however He wishes to use you, my dear friend.
God bless you!
Amen
Ah, another set free from the false jw mindset ; praise God! Very few of us spiritually grasp the full gospel though.
My ex-wife used to travel in the Spirit to China to minister to the Underground Church there. She would also travel in the Spirit all over the world to exorcise demons from the possessed. She has traveled in the Spirit from Georgia to California to exorcise demons. This is one of the lesser known gifts of the Spirit. The dark side also utilizes this through astral projection. When she was not saved, she would astrally project out of her body often as a form of escape from the travails of life much as an alcoholic drinks his or her sorrows away.
In addition to God’s miraculous ability to physically and spiritually translate us anywhere, He can also warp time. I have had many instances in my life when I know I would have died in several potential car crashes and motorcycle crashes were it not for His ability to warp time, to slow it down to give me time to react. There are several potential car crashes that I avoided that I have no explanation for how I avoided them. In one of them, I was so sure I was going to die that I closed my eyes while my hands were on the wheel and prayed for God to take me home, consigned to my fate. When I opened my eyes, both my car and I were completely intact, and I have no explanation for it other than God. I remember reading about a man who had a similar experience except that he kept his eyes open. He was relating how he was making a right turn a little too fast at a yield sign, and out of nowhere comes this other car flying down the road. He said suddenly it was like supernaturally the two cars were directly moving through each other and even the other driver was moving through his body. Then, suddenly the cars separated, and he was on his way completely unscathed. God had supernaturally transcended the laws of physics and possibly even warped time.
I, personally speaking, do believe we will see physical translations in the Body of Christ during the persecutions to safe havens and to our persecuted brethren who may be in FEMA Camps. I would not even be surprised to find out some Christians are suddenly unaccounted for in the FEMA Camps and even physically escape the guillotines as the blades drop IF they fully “expect His miraculous provision”. I tell many of my Christian friends to get used to the “miraculous” because it will be the new norm someday soon. I tell them that they need to be ready for physical translation to possibly even foreign countries, even countries where God may have to miraculously give them the gift of tongues in order to converse with and save the local populations.
That is awesome! I had an experience where I was going down the road (2 lane road) trying to get back to the hospital to be with my mother when she was passing and all of a sudden out of nowhere, I saw this big SUV coming up super fast behind me and I knew it was satan trying to prevent me from being with her because I had asked God to please let me be with her at her passing. Well, out of nowhere again, all of a sudden, that SUV was swooped away and gone! Where it went I have no idea and I never forgot that. I don’t know if He moved it down a side street or what but He saved my life that day!! If that SUV had slammed into me, I wouldn’t be writing this testimony today! It would have pushed me right into the other 2 lanes on the other side into the traffic there and I truly believe I would have died that day or been critically injured.
So all praises go to our beautiful Father, the Most High for his awesome protection! I got to be there with my mom when she passed and then He even had someone call and they took care of all the funeral arrangements for I knew noone there that would help me.
Anna,
What an inspiring testimony! Thank you so much for sharing how our Heavenly Father provided for everything when you needed it. And what a miraculous event you witnessed!
God bless you!
Thanks for sharing these great testimonies Carl. Very cool!
And thank you, James, for providing us this website and forum to encourage and prepare our brothers and sisters in Christ and to bring the souls of the lost for Christ for such a time as this that we were all born into by the Father’s design. Your service to the Lord is much appreciated. One day, the Lord will show you all the souls you have helped to bring into His Kingdom. Keep up the good fight!
Carl,
Amen! Amen! Thank you for these awesome and inspiring confirmations! I also had an auto incident similar to what you described. I hydro planed and went flying off the interstate toward a cement embankment. I cried out, “God, HELP ME!” Immediately, the car stopped mid-air, and was placed back on the highway like nothing had happened!
The pastor of the church I used to attend had an incident when he was riding his motorcycle through the Rocky Mountains. It was a narrow two-lane road. As he rounded the corner, a semi-tractor trailer had veered into his lane and was coming straight at him. He knew he was a dead man. But the entire semi-tractor went straight through his body, as if he was invisible!
The same exact thing happened to two Christian friends of mine, who were on a highway. Some car came racing from behind, swerving all over the road as he approached. The guy actually drove though their car. They saw the car and man go through them, and the tail end of the car leave through their dashboard!
Nothing is impossible with our God!!!
These testimonies are an awesome witness to me as well. Please allow me to share my own. When I was younger I worked one summer painting a factory in my home town. I was inexperienced at the job but did the best I could. One morning I was standing high on a scaffolding, trying to reach a corner that was just out of reach. I was approximately 3 stories above the cement factory floor. As I stretched far out and reached I inched further toward the ends of the support boards (which were not secured). Suddenly I felt myself falling as the boards I was standing on gave way. Then, just as suddenly in the blink of an eye I was standing back up on top right in the middle of the scaffolding with my legs shaking. To this day, I’m not sure what happened but I believe the Lord saved me from serious injury or worse.
That’s a beautiful testimoney Rob
Rob,
Awesome testimony. Praise God!
I was traveling alone in my mini-van down our 500 ft. grade between foothills home and Sacramento valley floor on a 4 line highway directly behind a tall open work truck loaded with pipes and wooden boards. I heard an audible voice tell me to change lanes which I did without thinking. The truck then proceeded to lose its load of everything in the lane to my left. It would have all come through my windshield, and I would have met my Maker a little too soon, I think!
Thanks Carl, as I was reading your comment about you having avoided an accident, I all of sudden remembered an incident that happened about 2 years ago, which puzzled me a lot but I never understood it. I was driving and I had to make a left-turn to get onto the main road (in Italy where I live, the roads are really narrow and just 2-lanes). I did not have a good line of sight because there was a curve. i craned my neck and checked there were no car coming from both sides. I made the left turn and all of sudden, I saw a car whooshing by me and somehow I found myself on the opposite lane of the main road (headed the wrong direction). I should have gotten my car crashed from behind but somehow nothing happened. After the car passed by, I steered my car to the correct lane and drove home all the way in complete confusion! Praise God!
Awesome Chloe
Hello chloe , like you ….me and my husband had a similar situation that avoided a car accident… even until now we are not sure what happened ..but we were having our meditation drive one day from massachusetts to vermont… it was such a gloomy day but we were enjoying it… we reached vermont rest area.. we stayed there for a few mins and decided to drive back to massachusetts… we left the rest stop, and we were driving back, we passed the VT/MA border right on time… a few minutes my husband wanted to stop at a rest stop and i said no…so we continued to drive home… all ove a sudden …we saw a road sign..welcome to vermont …..mind u we left vermont 20 mins ago without turning back or getting off any exits.. how could we havr gone back to vermont..when we were supposed to be alomost home at massachusetts…?? We couldnt understand any of that…it was creepy even our gps stated that we were almost home and got thrown back to vermont…i actually wanted to jump out of the car that time because it creeped me out…but looking back.. there was an accident that happened on the highway where we were supposed to be and the people involved got injured.. i thank God for as what i call **warped **us back to vermont and delayed our drive home to half an hour that we avoided the accident…. until now both of us couldnt figure out what happened that day … we are just thankful both of us are safe and with our kids…God is good..
wow Jai! that is awesome!!!!!
Where is this in the Bible. I am not doubting your experience but to say it is a “spiritual gift” I do not see that in the Bible. Please explain. Thanks
Chris, check out Acts 8;26-40 about Philip who had the gift of miracles (Acts 8:6-7, 13). It may be tied to someone with the gift of miracles or faith. But it may not necessarily be associated with these gifts, because it seems it is God who takes the initiative to bring it about. At least that is the case with Philip (v.39). Study on bro, Neal.
And 2Kings2
Wow Diana, this blows my mind away! I have not heard about such things before! I am eager to hear part 2! Blessings.
Look for Neville Johnson and Sadhu Sundar on YouTube. They speak about just such tithings for this time.
NO do not go look up their videos.
Check comments under Menas G post.
Hi Cali definitely not trying to intentionally mislead anyone. Can you please share with me what they have said that is controversial? Thanks!!
Michael, there was discussion here: https://z3news.com/w/unleashed-elite-idea/ having to do with Sudhar saying the saints of old want to enter into current saints to partake in end time events AKA possession in many of our opinions. The mix of the Godly and ungodly teaching is in progress.
Whenever I see Sudhar I have a “check in my spirit” and cannot watch him long enough to even get to the point to see if what he is teaching lines up with scripture or not. There are plenty of “voices” out there. We need to pray for discernment. My hearts desire to is to have my ears so “in tune” with what the Holy Spirit is saying that I can recognize the voices that are for Him and not heed the voices, or even give any time to those that are against Him.
Mar R, thank you so much for making this comment!!! What a confirmation for my spirit. Many have mentioned him here so I have tried several times to watch him but my spirit won’t let me either! Thank you!!
I had the Holy Spirit tell me just today that the discernment He is giving me, although great for protecting me from incorrect teaching, is also for me to pray for those that are being misled.
Sadly I haven’t really spent time praying for those that I discerned have been misled. I am going to be more diligent in that from this point on though. Sadhu (I misspelled it Sundhar I notice) needs our prayers that he can be fully in alignment with the truth.
Mar R, that is also a confirmation to me because I have been diligently fasting and praying for people to discern the truth of ALL things spiritual!
Tammy, I have been praying intently for more discernment for over a year. I even had a very intense “real life” experience to help in the process. About 6 months ago I suffered a stroke. I am fairly young for a stroke, only 44, so the Dr’s ran all kinds of tests to determine the cause. I knew that the Lord was just teaching me many things in the process. I had a vision of Jesus holding my hand while I was having the stroke and half my body was paralyzed. Jesus didn’t seem concerned so I knew I didn’t need to be either. 🙂 I recovered in a miraculous amount of time. I regained full mobility after just a few hours. But I had double vision for a month. I was told my vision would be a problem for a few months so even then the recovery was faster than expected. During that month the Holy Spirit kept telling me this: “Walk by faith, not by sight. Walk by faith not by sight.” I knew that lesson was an important one. I am so thankful that I am learning it but it has taken me fasting, intense prayer, and a complete and 100% laying down of my will for the sake of whatever the Holy Spirit wills to do in and through me. Praise God though for what I am learning! He is so very good! Bless you sister!
Marla R.
Mar R,
Our God is so creative and good in teaching us and YES he uses “tragedy” to teach us. My “tragedy” that was one of my huge learning experiences was a pretty bad breast cancer 7 years ago at age 46. I won’t tell the whole story because I shared it before, but I felt TOTAL PEACE and just knew I was not to get any medical treatment and did not take chemo, radiation or any type of surgery. 7 years of daily getting manna. I did not have a instant or quick healing and don’t even know if I still have it and don’t care. I am far healthier in all ways then I was 7 years ago and my whole town knows I didn’t receive medical treatment so I am pretty sure it will be part of my testimony of how to trust God when our country starts falling a part. Fasting has been a HUGE part of my spiritual life over the past year. Blessings to you sister!!
Praise God Tammy! Are you familiar with the revivalist from the early 1900’s Smith Wigglesworth? I just finished reading his book and your testimony was reminiscent of the level of faith I read in his book: ftp://ekklesia.lt/TEKSTAI%20-%20LT%20RU%20EN/Smith%20Wigglesworth/Smith%20Wigglesworth%20on%20Prayer,%200768423155.pdf You have greatly encouraged me! I am praying for more faith in all things.
Mar R,
What a powerful testimony. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, Tammy. I couldn’t watch either when I tried to watch and see the what, where, and how.
Re: Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj – do you think if someone were to contact him and ask what he means when he references the OT saints being united with us in these end times that he may reply?
Wouldn’t it be cool to have Sadhu’s understanding of what he shared and how he supports this biblically?
When is the spirit of confusion confused with a ‘check in our spirit’, and is it not possible to be mistaken? My hand is up…..it’s happened to me before.
Aris,
I haven’t heard him speak much, only bits and pieces. So before I throw this out there, please know I didn’t hear what he actually said.
But we know the Bible clearly says the dead in Christ will rise FIRST, then we which are alive and remain… I’ve heard several ministers speculate that it’s possible, when the dead Saints rise, they may actually minister along side us briefly, before we’re all united with Jesus in the air!
Don’t know if he might have been talking about that or not. But the thought of those who’ve already died in Christ getting to participate briefly in the largest harvest the earth has ever seen, sounds plausible to me. Wow!
Thanks Diana.
I have listened to Sadhu (and Neville and Bruce) and there is no doubt they have had holy encounters that I have not experienced or fully understand (like translation). My current stance is to put those things aside for the Lord to reveal more fully to me. I am mature in some matters of the Lord, and still a student of some things. I would not throw out everything of Sadhu just because I don’t understand what he meant with his reference to the OT saints and his experiences – I would love further understanding though.
Bless you Diana.
Aris,
In the video, he said that he did not have any theology for explaining his experience and that what he was saying has to be received in faith.
It is possible to be mistaken, I agree. But I prayed before watching the video and, now that I have watched it, I think I can imagine why I felt a check against watching: it is because in spite of his point-blank confession that he has no theology for this, he seems to have made a pretty convincing case as to why this was a “holy experience.” He also said that the first time it transpired, he was scared. It is one thing to be awestruck or stupefied at what God does, but scared?
I believe Sadhu’s convictions about this experience of his stems from Hebrews 11:39–40 (I think he mentioned this in another video) about OT saints awaiting perfection. I have always understood this passage to mean that when we are raised with incorruptible bodies, the OT saints too receive their incorruptible bodies. But, it is the first time I’m hearing that OT saints can finish perfecting themselves through the earthly ministries the end-time remnant will do by “entering” them.
Also Sadhu did mention about Jesus stating that John the Baptist was the Elijah who was to come (Matthew 11:14). But this was also told to Zechariah by the angel Gabriel (Luke 1:17). Was Gabriel talking about Elijah’s spirit reentering John’s body? I don’t think so. I believe Gabriel intended to convey to Zechariah that just as Elijah was a mighty man before God so would John be and have a similar kind of ministry. I believe the reason the words “spirit and power of Elijah” were used by Gabriel was to impress upon Zechariah that John wasn’t going to be someone ordinary, that just as the Holy Spirit was with Elijah so too would he be with John. I don’t think he intended to convey that Elijah’s spirit would reenter John as Sadhu seems to have understood and seems to be basing his experience on.
Also, Zechariah might have needed some frame of reference to know how special his son was going to be. Sure Gabriel could have simply told him that God would be with his son. But that was also the case with so many of God’s anointed in Israel’s history. What was going to be so special about John? That is why I believe Gabriel mentioned Elijah. I am inclined to believe that the “spirit and power of Elijah” is nothing but the “power and authority of the Holy Spirit.” It was the Holy Spirit that gave the OT saints the power and authority to pull off their amazing feats, not “their” spirits.
I believe, in trying to understand how Hebrews 11:40 might actually transpire, Sadhu has gone into error. Like I mentioned in an earlier comment, Aris, one can be actively trying to decieve or be a victim of it. I don’t think the former is the case with Sadhu. I just think he has gone into error.
Please pray about what I have shared, Aris, and may the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth as the Scriptures say he will.
Thank you Sujit, there is no doubt what you say makes sense and I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this. And yes, I had put aside some of what I had heard from Sadhu/Neville/Bruce for the Lord to give me further revelation, as what they were sharing was new to me. It did not worry me, and it certainly did not cause me to discount all their messages based on this.
“…..whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12
Will we see ‘greater things than these’ for which there is no precedent for in the bible, and was not even witnessed by saints of old? This is my question to the Father
Bless you Sujit.
Hi Michael,
No prob ,yes check the discusion we had, Sarah posted the link.
Glad things are getting exposed, we need Truth in the mids of so much deception.
Michael,you are correct….These 2 were sent for our growth rapidly in these latter days..Most won’t receive. ..Eyes and ears are dull.Don’t receive a prophet don’t get a prophets reward..My final statement on this..All of these” Quote” comments against Sadhu and Neville only hurt themselves.I don’t need to convince them.Pointing condemning fingers at prophets will get them nowhere…just because they don’t understand God’s ways and Word..Humility proceeds God’s light and revelation. ….
Sister,
You are mistaken. The comments are not against them, but against a particular statement from Sadhu Selvaraj for which there is no biblical precedent. Yes, we need to be open about what God is doing, but we also need to know that the enemy tries to counterfeit everything that God does to deceive even the elect, if possible.
None of the comments were made in hatred or anger or as condemnation but as warnings.
Also, here is something to think about. There is a difference between those who are intentionally trying to deceive and those who unknowingly fall into deception. The former, we need to avoid, but the latter, we need to pray for them that their eyes may be opened.
Does anyone have a link to the video where Sadhu made that controversial statement regarding possession? I’ve heard a lot about this statement but have not heard it for myself as of yet. Sometimes, we make mistakes in what we say and sometimes we misinterpret what others are saying. Rick Wiles (Tru News) played a sermon on Friday in which he gave where he said Mary (mother of Jesus) lived a sinless life OR a life free of sin…something like that so on yesterday’s program he apologized for saying that as it was just a mistake and he did not mean to say Mary was sinless….she needed a savior just like everyone else. I remember when I heard Neville for the first time talk about Joseph speaking to him regarding the end times I thought that was weird but I didn’t totally count it out as not being possible at all….but OT saints taking up possession in believers here on Earth….I think I would draw the line on that one for sure.
Cam
It’s not possession (and I don’t recall him saying possession). It is more about being united as one with the saints in Glory. Behold, I will send the spirit of Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord (Malachi 4:5). You know the saints in Glory are truly in Glory. They are one with the Lord God Almighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit.
shalom
Thanks for your reply Phanuel. That would make more sense….I thought this whole issue with Sadhu was based upon a comment regarding possession of OT saints but no one has been able to produce the video of him saying that.
Hi Cam, I think Terry Bennett shares a similar sounding experience about his relationship with John Paul Jackson
I can not find it but it was like he was inside JPJ seeing it from his perspective- to the law and to the testimony I agree-
perhaps John 17 part of mysterious union? Interesting to say the least
Cam, his link posted on Z3: https://z3news.com/w/trump-president-clean-purify-nation/ . See the Sadhu video in the posting at the 2:58 it’s intro and at the 3:00 he is discussing. He calls it “entering”.
Thank you Sarah. I guess my question to Sadhu and others that might believe the way he does is why would we need to have an OT saint enter into our body to fulfill or finish out our ministry when we have the Holy Spirit….the comforter, the helper, this is all the new testament saints needed…It doesn’t make sense that we would need anything other than the spirit of God. Phanuel, I wonder if Malachi 4:5 is referring to the two witnesses?
Exactly Cam, im glad you see. No it does not make sense, we have The Holy Spirit:)
Diana, I am agreement with Sujit. I in know way am saying that Sundar does not love or even know God. (I didn’t personally comment about Neville.) I just said that all three times that I tried to watch Sundar something in my spirit wouldn’t let me continue to watch him. I am not even saying why…………I don’t really know……………. but the comments that others made confirmed the feelings I had. Blessings
I agree Diana and Michael
Sadhu is a great man of God.
Neville is a great man of God.
I have looked in both their eyes. They are approved by heaven and appear in my dreams/visions. They confirm what the Lord has been revealing to me since 2012, about the seven horns anointing and the powers of the age to come. Extra biblical does not imply unbiblical. A good example is the book of Enoch. That book is quoted in Jude 1:14. Where did Jude get this information from? The book of Enoch is not part of the Bible. Eyes hath not seen, Ears hath not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man …….
Shalom
I don’t have to look in to their eyes, all i have to look at is the Word, Jesus.
And the Word does not agree with what was on that video..
God bless you Phanuel – I have come to land on the same page as you!
Just over a year ago, I spent a few weeks intermittently deep cleaning and staining the fence around my yard. While I was engaged in this fun task, I felt lead to listen to the various sessions from the 2015 Lancaster Prophetic Conference on YouTube. Amongst the 10+ sessions over the course of this weekend conference, this was likely the first time that I heard of Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj and Neville Johnson. I must say that while I was listening, there were some things that I heard that felt strange to me while most of what was spoken seemed to resonate with me.
As days went by, I watched and re-watched many of these sessions and sought the Lord for ongoing wisdom and discernment. I also spent a significant amount of time learning more about Joseph Sweet since he, as the Pastor of Shekinah Worship Centre in Lancaster, California, has continued to invite Brothers Sadhu and Neville to speak to his flock at this annual conference over the past several years. Since I tell my teenage sons that they will often be judged by the company they keep, I thought I would apply this same concept, albeit on a much more significant scale, to Joseph Sweet. As I learned more and more about Brother Sweet, I came to the conclusion that (although imperfect like the rest of us) he would not (and does not) take his responsibility lightly concerning the leading or misleading of his flock. What I also learned about Brother Sweet is that he has a most genuine and sincere heart for the Lord and I have been immensely blessed by his teaching.
More recently, after ongoing prayer for discernment and truth over the past year, I can say that I could hardly wait to take in the 2016 Lancaster Prophecy Conference this past August and most of the sessions (including those from Joseph Sweet, Neville Johnson, Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj and Bruce Allen) were watched through the live feed they provided – despite the 3 hour difference in time zones!
Although I do acknowledge that there are still some concepts from the latest conference that feel odd or unfamiliar to me, I believe that we must seek to obtain new wineskins to take in these new dimensions and concepts that our Lord is bringing to His people in these last of days – which I believe is not too far removed from the Lord’s call to recalibrate our expectations of Him in Diana’s beautiful message above.
If we try to take in these new dimensions and concepts with old wineskins (i.e. our preconceived ideas or assumptions of how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit operate), I believe that we will not be able to fully contain them and will often discard them altogether – to the detriment of the Kingdom. Thank you for all that you do for the Z3 Family!
How do you know that those that are critiquing Sadhu and Neville are not prophets as well? There are prophets from the Lord and there are false prophets. Even in the Bible there were tests between the two as Jeremiah encountered the false prophet Hananiah. It shouldn’t surprise us if we have a similar situation today if the same thing happened then.
You are correct that we need to have humility in this. We must pray on our own. We cannot leave discernment to others. We are responsible before God for what He reveals to us and it must be in alignment to His Word.
Hi Chloe!
Yes, it definitely blows our mind! And every time it happens, it’s blown all over again. Yes, pray and study about this. Ask God to show you what He wants you to know about this topic. God bless you, Chloe!
my sister and I both have experienced this. Thanks for the word
I’m blown away by this post! The topic of translation has been stirring in my spirit of late. I’ve heard a few people speaking of it and I said to myself there is obviously biblical precedent. Last week I was walking up the stairs to go to bed and the Holy Spirit said ask for what you have only read about in scripture but never seen. I began to ponder scripture in regard to events I’ve never seen or experienced and ask for each. Being translated was one of the events I asked for. It is so necessary for us to be freed from a religious mindset/spirit that places God in a small box limiting Him from working in and through us. Tozer often referred to Him as the Infinite. He defies natural laws and limitations. I welcome the supernatural working of the Infinite for His purposes and kingdom.
i knew a Romanian preacher who was translated in Poland 5 hours ahead to the border after God told him to keep on ministering deep in Poland too late to reach the border before his visa expired. This was in the 1980’s. His son was murdered by the romanian police. I actually was with him the night we watched on tv romania’s communist rulers fall! He preached the night he should have left at 6pm till very close to midnite, drove towards the border and suddenly, after driving just a few miles/minutes, just before midnite, found himself arriving at the border, which was in the natural 5 hours away.
Jimbob,
Thank you for sharing that! All we do is obey and make ourselves available, and He will take card of everything else! How inspiring,
God bless!
That’s a great testimoney Jimbob, that is the way, let God do it. You be a ready vessel.
Do not go doing this the New Age way.
Make sure All is from God and test Every spirit, a lot of deception out and it will get stronger.
We are covered by His Blood, but you have to know your Identity.
jimbob,
Hope this is a good place to jump in—-It’s a small world in the Lord
jimbob–Our church back in 1989 was amerced in prayer for this very
fall of Nicolae Ceausescu—-we had a couple of missionaries that put
their lives on the line over in Romanian that winter— they were in our
prayer group and the young man had stories the like of your preachers
encounters ! I remember celebrating this moment in history–
the news did not convey what a real intervention of God this really was !
All of us that prayed felt blessed to be used in such a way!
Was in a church in San Antonio at the time !
Hope is was Ceausescu you were speaking of —Romania-,
1989 fall– event on tv –has to be !!!
Dumitru Duduman?
Michael,
Yes, our Lord wants us to ask Him and then expect! He is so gracious and merciful to us – He even prompts us in what to ask for! He wants to show us so much, to take up places we’ve never been! Thank you for sharing!
Background: This summer’s road-trip vacation had me driving our two youngest children home from San Diego with a stop for 2 nights in Anaheim. We ended up needing a last minute stay in a hotel room at the Anaheim Majestic This used to be the castle-themed Sheraton, which I had always loved but never stayed in, due to price when I was younger. God so knows the desires of our heart and loves to surprise us. I had booked it in a hurry without even realizing they were the same due to a name change. Imagine my surprise upon pulling into the parking lot. Oh, I belong to such a good Father God.
Early a.m. 7/17 Father adds icing to his surprise. I wake up so excited and joyful as I have been translated to heaven where I have been seeing, interacting and loving God the Father as a real person, not just this disembodied ethereal Father God we picture on His throne. I wake up thinking “I just love Him so much! I can hardly wait until the heavenly age when I’ll be reunited with Him. Such LOVE. This revelation that He is like a person…approachable…when the Kingdom age arrives. Truly His name is GLORIOUS!
I’ve heard it said that Disneyland is the happiest place on earth…but how pale next to the joy of heaven and reunion with the King of Kings, Lord of Lords..the great I AM. This same God knows your name, and my name and has everything under control. Be at peace.
This resonates with me so much, thank you Diana.
You have stirred me up, and reminded me about these things. I am keen to hear Part 2.
Alison,
Yes, our Lord is stirring up the Church, pouring forth His Words of instruction. I have an intense sense of urgency to post Part 2. So God willing, I’ll be able to assemble what’s been given into a readable format and post within the next few days.
Blessings to you!
Please pray for me Diana that I can be a person of expectation of good things. I have had so many bad things happen to me that I stopped expecting God to do good things for me. In fact I thought He didn’t like me and didn’t want to be bothered with me. I thought it was my lot in life to just suffer then someday die and be with him. But now, I guess I’m supposed to expect good things to happen to me. Please help me Lord.
Ginny,
The mountains and fierce storms in this life can definitely throw us off balance. Jesus said, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).
Please don’t doubt God’s love for you, because Jesus came to die for you. Jesus told us the storms would come, but the reason we’re to have good cheer in the face of these storms is that Jesus has already overcome them for us! But we do have to stand in His victory!
Ginny, we stand in His victory by keeping our focus on Jesus – not the storms swirling around us. Nehemiah 8:10 says, “….The joy of the Lord is our strength.” And Psalm 16:11 says, “…In thy presence is fullness of joy.” So I believe if you’ll draw close to Him and spend time in His presence, you’ll find that joy; and the joy of the Lord will be your strength! Please know you’re in my prayers, and you can depend on His promise that he’ll never leave your nor forsake you! God bless you, Ginny!
Thank you Diana, I appreciate the advice. I’m trying my best and will continue to in Jesus.
Hi Ginny, I know how we can get into a state were we feel abandoned by God, but it is because we are not diligently pursuing Him. Please study James Bailey’s testimony on this site. Do what he did. It will change your life. God has great plans for you!
Thank you Jerome, bless you.
Ginny,
This is the day that the Lord has made. Rejoice, and be glad in it.
Thank you Sujit, God bless you.
Ginny, in my opinion I take these hardships in life as training to be worthy of Gods kingdom. I take each problem as an exercise I must get through to be closer to him. Take these things as a soldier for the Lords army and understand that though these things are hard if we look to him in all we go through good and bad he will help us endure. Think of it as going through a refiners fire to burn away the unessentials that we have piled on through life. With each layer burning off every time we overcome adversity to reveal what the Lord created us to be. We are at war with Satan and he will try anything to get us off the path the Lord directed us to go. Don’t give up, pray constantly follow his commandments, and walk with him. He will carry you when you need it just have faith in him and let his will be done.
Good word Ken. Thank you for your wise advice.
Thank You Diana!! I BELIEVE!!!
-but with God All things are Possible!
(Glor!Glory!Glory!)
Amen, Cali! All things are possible with our God!
