Here is a word I received around 6:30 AM on January 24, 2016.
“The time has come; the season is here for My releasing of two portions of faith. The first portion is for survival. The second is for revival.
In the first portion, I will pour out an anointing on to how to survive what is coming and to thrive in it. It will be a Goshen anointing (Exodus 8:22), I will teach you how to maneuver, manifest, and manufacture My strategies to overcome My time of judgment.
In the second portion will be unprecedented wisdom in operating in My revival spirit. There is a skill needed for operating in My glory. There is a pattern like Moses was instructed to follow (Hebrews 8:5). I will anoint the Burning Ones with an understanding and insight into Me and My ways!”
He declares that Moses knew the ways of God, but the children of Israel only knew His acts.
He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. (Psalm 103:7)
The Father is calling us to know how He moves and why He moves, rather than seeking an outward act or experience.
You will see Me move before “they” see Me move (the world and the sleeping church) and you will know what I am doing, because I will reveal My secrets to those who worship Me in spirit and in truth!
There is a door and it is called the Door of Now! The Church has entered her Now moment!
The Father then gave me Isaiah 28 to confirm this word.
1 Woe to the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is at the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine!
2 Behold, the Lord has a strong and mighty agent; as a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, like a storm of mighty overflowing waters, He has cast it down to the earth with His hand.
3 The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim is trodden under foot.
4 And the fading flower of its glorious beauty, which is at the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first- ripe fig prior to summer, which one sees, and as soon as it is in his hand, He swallows it. (Isaiah 28:1-4)
In brief, the prophetic symbolism is that Ephraim represents the Church and the nation of America. Verses 1-4 speak of our prideful condition and the warning of judgment in the form of an invasion and a storm. Remember, the Father does not view this nation separately as church and state. The reason for this is because of our tremendous responsibility to the gospel and the mission of God, as it was to Israel. We will be held to a higher form of accountability.
7 And these also reel with wine and stagger from strong drink: the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are confused by wine, they stagger from strong drink; they reel while having visions, they totter when rendering judgment.
8 For all the tables are full of filthy vomit, without a single clean place. (Isaiah 28:7-8)
Verse 7 speaks of the church leadership and their lack of prophetic vision and wide spread idolatry. Again this is a mirror of where we are in the church! We are drunk with pride. We are drunk with idolatry. We are drunk with prosperity!
Look at verse 8. This is our current tables of ministry! The places of our worship are polluted by the sin of our leaders and the unclean living of our members! How can His glory rest on such a mess? How can we have a habitation of God when the house of God is a wreck? We are immature, self-satisfying people who use God for what He gives rather than for who He is.
5 In that day the Lord of hosts will become a beautiful crown and a glorious diadem to the remnant of His people;
6 A spirit of justice for him who sits in judgment, a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate. (Isaiah 28:5-6)
I purposely left verses 5 and 6 for last because here we see hope is not lost. There is always a nation within a nation, a church within a church, and a people within a people. It’s called the Remnant! In that day, the day of judgment, the day of invasion and storm, the glory of the Lord and the beauty of His holiness is coming to His Remnant! The spirit of wisdom and the strength to battle at the gate (door) will be ours. There is a generation willing to fight at the gates of our cities, the gates of our homes, and the gates of churches. We will not fight using the weapons of man, but of the Spirit, and of the Word!
The time has come for us to stand and enter into the door of now!
Author: Pastor Benjamin Faircloth
Benjamin Faircloth is the President and Founder of World Outreach Ministries International and also the Pastor of Ignited Church in Lavonia GA. His wife Jennifer is also a Pastor at Ignited Church, which was birthed out of a desire to see the glory of God restored to the church and to help others discover their destiny in Christ! Benjamin has been in ministry since 1991.
Hi Pastor Faircloth, I hope this message finds you well! I was trying to find a way to message you online and just sent you a message on Facebook. After reading your “Testing, Testing, 1-2-3” message, I was inspired to write a warning to others. Here’s what it said:
Dear Saints, please take a moment to read this very urgent warning in its totality. Some of you and/or others you know in California may only have hours or days to prepare. Earlier this week on Sept. 11th, 2017 there were 7,000 lightening strikes that struck within 24 hours in the Bay Area (1,200 cloud-to-ground strikes plus 5,800 in-cloud strikes (see link below), simultaneously there were 40,000 strikes that hit in the L.A. area (see 2nd link below). Just as God will be giving His people a 7 year warning before His final judgement is poured out before Christ’s return (when Antichrist signs a covenant for 7 years), he gave Noah a 7 DAY warning before he flooded the earth (Gen. 7:4 – “For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights….”). I believe these 7k lightening strikes in the Bay Area were a 7 day warning to His people to repent and get out of the area before His judgement & time of testing. Since the 40k strikes happened on the same day as the 7k, I believe both numbers speak to both areas (meaning the earthquake will strike the Bay and L.A. at roughly the same time). As we’ve seen from Noah’s flood, the number 40 represents judgement, but it also represents testing (like when the Israelites were tested 40 years in the wilderness and when Jesus was tested 40 days in the wilderness). Speaking of testing, I believe Pastor Benjamin Faircloth’s recent word released on Sept. 3rd called “Testing, Testing, 1-2-3” was another confirmation of this quake. God told him America’s first test was Hurricane Harvey, but since we didn’t repent, the 2nd test would be Irma (and obviously it was), and if we still don’t repent, the 3rd test would be that the economy would dip and a prop would fail (Benjamin said God did not tell him what would cause this but that it could be an earthquake. He asked God what this meant, and God said “I’m going to SHAKE the vine for what is Mine”, and that “the house of cards will FALL”).
I was given 2 confirmations of Pastor Faithcloth’s “testing, testing, 1-2-3” word today because I believe God wants me to prepare my family for this quake (since I live within a radius that could be somewhat affected, especially if it’s the 9.1 foreshock that brother Billy Nelson prophesied). The first confirmation was that I was at my in law’s today (Sept. 16th) and I noticed a children’s book on their table where the cover said “California” and had a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was book about learning numbers and just the numbers “1 2 3” were written large in the sand on the beach by the bridge. Then tonight as I was watching my sons favorite you tube channels, the episode ended with everyone singing the baseball theme song which ends with, “…it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out of the old ball game”. Meaning this next judgement will be strike 3 for America’s economy, just like Pastor Faircloth was told. I believe it will cause the stock market to plunge, possibly because of the combination of devastation it will cause in the tech sector, and as devastating as the quake will be, many investors may fear it’s just a foreshock of a larger one to come.
Lastly, my wife has also been in prayer about this next judgement and she was given a prophetic word last week that “Surmont CA will be devastated” (note: she did not hear the word “destroyed”, which would mean that those areas would no longer exist or that we would not be able to rebuild at all, i.e., the effects of the 12.2 quake that will eventually follow). She had never even heard of Surmont CA before and had to look it up. Although there is no city named Surmont in CA, there are only 2 Surmont Drives & 2 Surmont Courts in CA, both of which are in the Bay Area (in Los Gatos where the last big quake struck, which is right near the San Andreas fault (which runs the length of L.A. to the Bay and beyond), and which is just south of San Jose where they had a 3.3 earthquake earlier this week that many people felt, and Surmont in Lafayette, right where 2 major faults meet where geologists say if a major earthquake happened, it’s the one place they know of in CA that could trigger an earthquake across the entire state.
I encourage you to pray brothers and sisters, and prepare and act accordingly by faith if you are living in an area of CA that could be affected soon. Time is very, very short.
Also, Louis Vogel-Sharp said this massive CA earthquake would happen before God’s new year begins, which is technically the evening of Sept. 20th this year (Rosh Hashanah (literally meaning the “beginning (also head) [of] the year”) which is the Jewish New Year. The biblical name for literally “day [of] shouting/blasting.”). Even though the Jewish calendar says their 1st day is Tishri 1 (Sep 21st, 2017 this year), which is the 2nd day of Rosh Hashana that starts this Wednesday, 9/20 and ends Friday, 9/21, God always sees a new “day” as evenings and then mornings (see Genesis 1:5 “And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”) One of the definitions of Rosh Hashana, as you said, is judgement. So if it was a 7 day warning that the Bay and L.A. areas received on Sept. 11th, that means the quake could strike on 9/17 (if you count the 11th as the first day of the 7 days, or 9/18, if you count the 12th as the first day, or 9/19, if you count the 12th as the first day and God does not judge until the day after the 7 days (any three of these possibilities would still happen before God’s new year begins on 9/20).
I encourage you to pray, and prepare and act accordingly by faith if you are living in an area of CA that could be affected soon. And warn others. With all the signs God has given us lately, from last months “Great American Solar Eclipse” to the immediately proceeding 1,000 Biblical hurricanes and fires, it is apparent that the time is very, very short.
Side note: Louis happened to release that earthquake prophecy on 9/1 earlier this month (she did not say anything about the quake being a 9.1, so with everything else God has been confirming about this lately, I don’t think that’s a coincidence… See the10:46 min mark for exact timing God gave her of the CA earthquake and the resulting effects God told her it will have (negative and positive):

Dear Brother Faircloth,
Peace and Grace to you and your good wife.
Please correct me where I am mistaken. I believe you also spoke, “In the month of red, blood will be shed”. my first thought was February for St Valentine and his being martyred. As February passed I looked to Passover with Christ’s sacrifice and the blood on lintels and door posts to protect. Should we look to Passover for “the shedding of Blood”?
Shalom, Christopher
For a collaborating word on FAITH, listen to the prophetic word for this new year as well as the Hebraic year given Aug 30, 2015. Johnnyandelizabeth.com, then podcasts. Awesome words.
Lord, you are our very present Help in time of trouble. Pour out your Spirit on all flesh.
Thank you pastor Tom for your comments! Blessings to you on your journey!
Excellent word, Pastor. I found it very interesting. You are a pastor, I am a retired pastor and our Father has given both of us a prophetic word concerning the “Remnant.” The Lord revealed it to me as the “Loyal Remnant.” You can read about it on our blog: loyalremnant.blogspot.com. We are not finished writing it yet and are praying for the Lord to show us how to publish it in a format that is easier to read. Hope it is a blessing to you as much as your message is certainly a blessing to me. It is a powerful confirmation of what the Lord is showing me, REVIVAL IN THE MIDST OF CHAOS. God bless you, Brother.
I am a student at auburn university studying mechanical engineering and I would like some help interpreting a dream please!
Jan 23, 2016
Just before I went to bed, I asked the Holy Spirit, Lord Jesus, to speak to me.
In my dream, I was at the beach on some kind of float with my dad in the ocean. We were watching as some people were trying to surf abnormally large waves and most were not catching them. Then we saw one guy surfing in what looked like a boat with 2 motors on it. I told my dad as we were watching, “He can do anything” (referring to the guy surfing in a boat). Then a gigantic wave came (at least 100ft tall or more) and dad and I just floated over the top of it. We didn’t see any surfers after that. But as soon as the wave passed, I wanted to get off the float and catch the next wave but my dad stopped me and said something like, “Are you crazy, you’re going to be killed!” Immediately, we saw a yellow cloud approaching in the distance and I was glad I didn’t try to catch a wave and get lost in the cloud at sea. My dad and I decided to go to the shore at this point and when we reached shore we saw my little sister who said, “Did you see that wave? It was at least 100ft!” The thick, yellow sand storm had hit the beach at this point, and I noticed something bizarre about how the sand storm was moving. In some places it would swirl around with solid geometric shapes spinning like a tornado. One had doughnut shapes of sand spiraling, and one spiraled like a spring, both in the shape of a tornado. There was one person in each of the two tornadoes from what I remember. Another bizarre aspect of the sandstorm was that there were several yellow geometric shapes of sand hanging from a continuous overhead beam of sand. The shapes were about the size of a grown man and were floating above the ground about 3 or 4 feet in the air. They were very complicated but all maintained shape, even in the midst of the storm.
As we were walking back to the beach house, I was behind a little girl who pushed her had through one of these hanging sand figures. As she did, her hand passed through like normal sand, but some of the sand landed on me and I said, “Hey!” From what I noticed, the people were strangely untouched by this sand storm. I only felt sand when the girl hit me with the sand. So we got back to the beach and all of us got in line to get into the house from the back door which was on the beach (after the dream I was amazed how we so easily got back to the house in the midst of the thick, yellow sandstorm but this did not even occur to me while it was going on). We were extremely peaceful, given the circumstances. Nobody was rushing the door, we were all just neatly lined up. We got inside and I called first dibs on the shower. I started going down the stairs to head to the shower but had a brief conversation with my step-grandpa (it may have been about the weather) and I remember looking up at him from the bottom of the stairs and he was staring off into space in amazement of what was happening. I reached the shower and noticed there were 4 bars of soap, none of which were mine, so I must have used someone else’s soap.
The shower was very unique. It had a circular window that allowed you to see out through the top of the roof. It also had two extremely large pane windows which were slanted away from the house at the top. These windows were instead of two walls in the shower and came together in an angled corner. The windows looked out towards the front of the beach house. I saw a lady come to the door and she came into the house. I thought that she was coming to look at this unique house (there was no more sand storm). I also thought, “I hope no one can see me!” All of a sudden, numerous muslims came with their matts and had their regular prayer meeting right in front of the beach house! At that point, I noticed the bizarre flow of water in the shower. The handles were actually pipes in the shape of a rectangle but without the top side of the rectangle. Like this: l______l The left and right sides of the pipe were attached to the wall of the shower. The pipe had a long slit in the bottom edge of it which allowed water to flow from it like a waterfall when the handle/pipe was lifted. I lifted and lowered 3 handles, one at a time because I was interested in how the temperature of the water was to be adjusted. The third handle I lifted got some of the clothes I had piled on the floor wet. Then I looked out the windows again and saw a GIGANTIC yellow glowing sphere tearing across the sky with a ferocious, loud noise. It looked like it was about the size of the moon as it was falling to the earth. When I heard the sound, I had a vision of people who had lived to survive an asteroid and I heard a voice like a television announcer that indicated asteroids have a distinctive sound, which was the sound I was hearing. I also understood that the muslims who were praying thought that they had brought about this asteroid because of their prayers (this reminded me of how the muslims believe that their savior will come quicker when they bring about chaos). I quickly grabbed a pile of dirty clothes and other junk like green post it notes. Some of the notes had reminders written on them and one had a rectangular piece of gray duck tape on it. I remember swapping the piece of duck tape to another green post it note. It just seemed like I was wasting my time. I came to my sister’s room, told her an asteroid was coming, and sat down by her bed (the same bed she currently has with a metal frame) to brace for impact. Then I woke up at about 3:29 am and wrote the dream down.
My spirit bears witness with your word. thank you very much for being the conduit of bringing real food.
This word has led me to ponder about our Lord is altogether Holy and altogether Merciful. I can’t identify the source of my spiritual understanding, but my spirit bears witness of its authenticity (1John4:1-4). As in the Lord’s sword, it has two edges; but in the spiritual sense, one edge cuts and the other edge heals. God’s word in 2Tim says it separates between the thoughts and intentions, it also brings correction and healing, as in His Holiness and His Love. In your word the two faiths are to help us handle preparation for his judgment (cuts) and for His Harvest (mercy). In every way may Jesus Christ be glorified. And may He be delighted in us (Hephzibah and Beulah)
Thank you Christopher! Great truth about the Sword of the Lord!
Bloodstone, also known as heliotrope, was the traditional birthstone for March until 1952. Bloodstone was the March birthstone in the ancient Roman, Hebrew, and Arabic calendar.
Thank you Rebecca for that insight!
Yes, Lord the words, Ways of the Lord– not just His acts. This connects soo many dots from my past. God is sewing this quilt of understanding. I am so thankful, but quaking in the seriousness of it all. God bless you mightly. He is so present with us today. We love you Lord!!
Thank you Marilee! Yes I agree and add my WE LOVE YOU LORD!!!! What an awesome God He is!!!!!!
Thank you, Pastor, for this very confirming Word. The Lord is calling His people to cleave onto Him, so He can prepare us to walk in this Glory. For He has a glorious work prepared for us!
Yes and amen! So true Diana!
