2016 Lessons of Humility By Mary Lindlow
Significant Season of the Watch Countdown
A Significant Season of The Watch: Countdown to 5777
“And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch,” Mark 13:37 KJV.
“Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man,” Luke 21:36 KJV.
Watch and Pray:We are in an hour where the WATCH is of paramount importance. If it there ever was a time for the keepers of the watch, it is now, (2 Kings 11: 5-7). If we look at the things taking place around us, there is a reason that this watch along with other strategies need to be set in place.When Athaliah rose up to kill all the descendants in her household so that she could lay hold to the throne of Judah. Jehosheba took Joash (who was just an infant) and hid him and his nurse away for six years, while Athaliah ruled the land. In God’s appointed time the watch was set in place and Athaliah was unseated while Joash was named as the new heir to the throne. The LORD revealed to me that we have been walking in the season where the enemy has been raging. The LORD is about to bring forth “His hidden ones” who will strategically remove the seat of that which has tried to destroy a generation. He began to let me know that which is being preserved and protected in our youth will come forth and move into position along with those who have nurtured and prepared them in this hour. That which hid Joash away will be also blessed by the diligence of the day. Both generations shall stand and overcome that which tried to destroy them. We are about to see the older and younger generation come together and do great exploits in the work of the LORD. They were hidden so they could be strengthened and matured, as well as prepared for the time approaching. It is the countdown from 5776 to 5777. Vau to Zayin reflected in the last numbers characterizing the new year of the coming Hebrew calendar. They will signify man experiencing a refining perfecting process in the presence of the LORD that will come forth and be a force to be reckoned with in the times ahead. Being raised in times of adversity, they will not be afraid and they will come forth with the breath of the LORD’s strength nurtured by the keeper of their souls. They will not give up nor be dismayed. The enemy has set out to attack our youth but those who are watching over them in this hour will assist in bringing them forth in time appointed. The rank and authority that was taken by Athaliah will be taken back. In the waiting, in the timing, in the strengthening and even in the hiding away, they are being prepared. Something very powerful about the 7th year and this coming time. Yes all hell has broken loose, but in this process of refining, the Sons of Levi will arise. There is a people who will not be shaken by fear and intimidation who walk in the ways of the LORD nor will they be ashamed. As they stand upon the shores of Victory. The younger will protect the older taking new ground in the realm of the spirit with a fierce boldness and the older will continue to speak into the lives of the younger with wisdom and keen discernment. They shall take territories! No one knows what is to come, but we know they will be prepared, because they will operate under the canopy of His presence. There are those who understand the WATCH and its’ importance in this hour. Those who are fasting, praying and watching that are aware and will ready to stand guard. They will know how to move forward when the time of Athaliah’s unseating takes place. By the way Athaliah was Jezebel and Ahab’s seed. Please note as in the book of Revelation we are identifying a principality in the spiritual realm and not people; although there are those who can be influenced by that spirit by the choices and alliances they make in their lives. Appropriate Scriptures: You must read the entire chapter of 2 Kings 11 to see all that transpires in the 7th year.
“As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him,” 2 Samuel 22:31.
“In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness,” 2 Corinthians 11:27.
“He took with him the commanders of hundreds, the Carites, the guards and all the people of the land, and together they brought the king down from the temple of the LORD and went into the palace, entering by way of the gate of the guards. The king then took his place on the royal throne. All the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was calm, because Athaliah had been slain with the sword at the palace. Joash was seven years old when he began to reign,” 2 Kings 11:19-21.
“Nevertheless, hold fast to what you have until I come. And to the one who is victorious and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations…,” Revelations 2:25-26.

False Prophet/ Witchcraft BY Jonas Clark
Exposing Prophetic Ministry Witchcraft
The prophetic ministry must guard against prophetic witchcraft. Jeremiah tells us about the rebellion hidden in the lives of profane prophets and priests. “And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err” (Jeremiah 23:13).
The word “folly” means to operate in rebellion and foolishness. Workers of witchcraft do foolish, even stupid, things that don’t make any sense. Then they say that God told them to do it. They will argue with their counsel saying things like, “I have heard from the Holy Spirit, and I am submitted and listen to Him only.” Statements like that are common and contrary to the Word of God, which teaches that there is safety in a multitude of counselors (Proverbs 11:14).
When you start thinking that you are more spiritual than others and that you are the only one that can hear from God, you’re in big trouble. When you think that you are the only one that’s got the truth, and the only one that receives revelation, or the only one that can prophesy, or the only one that knows the Word of God, you’re entering the realm of foolish rebellion. You’re well on your way to being overtaken by the spirit of witchcraft.
Jeremiah said that profane prophets and priest, “prophesy by Baal.”
Baal is a spirit of divination (false prophecy). Were these Samarian prophets and priests prophesying? Yes, yet when they prophesied it brought error and led people astray. Their prophetic words did not lead people into liberty and freedom from sin, but into sin’s bondage. That’s the result of prophetic witchcraft.
Witchcraft released through false prophecy (in Baal) can rob years from a person’s life. Prophetic divination only releases confusion and will never lead you closer to God. We must learn to submit to God and avoid folly, the foolishness of rebellion.
ISSUES OF SIN
“I have also seen in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah” (Jeremiah 23:14).
Notice the characteristics of prophetic witchcraft:
Adultery (betrayal and sexual sin)
Lying
Strengthening evildoers (compromise)
None return from wickedness (avoiding confrontation of sin that hinders repentance)
As Sodom and Gomorrah (unclean).
People that walk in witchcraft are subject to sexual sin and perversion, whether by viewing pornography where no one can see them except God or by flirting with girls or boys in the church.
I prayed for a young man once and smelt a strange odor and knew by the Spirit of God that it was a homosexual spirit. All homosexual spirits are unclean spirits. When I discerned what it was, I said to the spirit, “Come out of him!” Instantly, the spirit slammed the young man to the floor and came out.
Unbeknownst to me, the young man was the pastor’s son. Children of ministers are trophies to demonic powers. The pastor later told me that many prophets had attended his church, but he had never seen any of them cast out unclean spirits. I thought that was a terrible reflection on the true prophet’s ministry that carries a responsibility of dealing with matters of sin and holiness. You cannot be a true prophet and ignore sin.
People that walk in witchcraft avoids dealing with issues of sin. The devil doesn’t want to expose his strategies. True prophets, however, always deal with issues of sin (Lamentations 2:14). That doesn’t mean that God will publicly embarrass someone. Don’t forget that there is a prophetic statesmanship used with the seasoned prophet.
SMOOTH SAYINGS
Jeremiah tells us that witchcraft operates through smooth sayings and refuses to turn people from sin.
“Thy prophets have seen vain, and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment” (Lamentations 2:14).
These are the false prophets who prophesy smooth sayings. Smooth sayings are prophetic words that people want to hear. They are full of flattery and words that mean nothing.
Workers of witchcraft prophesy worthless and misleading sayings that lead people to wrong conclusions because they feed and fuel spiritual pride and idolatry. True prophetic operations will expose sin for the purpose of deliverance and to keep someone from being ensnared by deception. The Holy Spirit always uncovers and reveals sin to keep one’s soul from going to hell.
LYING
Again, Jeremiah, speaking about the prophets of Jerusalem says, “they commit adultery and walk in lies” (Jeremiah 42:14).
For emphasis, we could read this scripture, “I have also seen among the workers of witchcraft a horrible thing, committing adultery and walking in lies.”
The spirit of witchcraft will lie to you without conscious. It’s time to tag these false prophets on their lies and break free from their deception.
Someone once told me that they had the prophetic word from the Lord for a particular meeting. It puzzled me because I felt like I had the word from the Lord for the meeting, but I didn’t say anything to her. She began to tell everybody connected to the meeting that she had the word from the Lord. Because of her persistence, like others, I started to believe her. I thought, “Well, God, I know that you have given me a prophetic word for this particular meeting, and I know that your word doesn’t have to come through me, that’s up to you. So whatever you want to do is OK with me.”
The next day, however, the girl that was telling everyone that she had the word from the Lord then said that she didn’t have the word from the Lord. It’s interesting, you either have it, or you don’t. Sometime during the night, she lost it.
Then she said somebody else had the word of the Lord for the meeting – her friend. I found out later that she was only trying to promote her friend’s ministry. That hidden agenda is called manipulation and is witchcraft in operation. Do you see how dangerous and crazy this can get? (This woman was Jezebel’s eunuch. If you are interested in learning more about Jezebel and her eunuchs, check out my book Jezebel: Seducing Goddess of War.) Those operating in witchcraft will mask a lie in spiritual activity to promote their hidden agendas.
NO GUTS, NO GRIT, NO BACKBONE
Those who operate in witchcraft often accuse God of changing His mind. Do you know what their problem is? They need to stop saying, “God said.”
Jeremiah tells us, “They walk in lies and encourage and strengthen the hands of evildoers.” They encourage the hands of evildoers by agreeing with their error and refusing to correct them of their sin. These workers of witchcraft have no backbone and are full of compromise. They say things that are politically or religiously correct at the moment according to the camp they are with.
The most disappointing thing about the workers of witchcraft is “they strengthen the hands of evil doers.” Because they lack the willingness to speak out against unrighteousness and sin, “none returns from his wickedness.”
PROFANENESS
Finally, Jeremiah tells us that witchcraft left unchallenged, will pollute the whole land.
“Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets: ‘Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone out into all the land’” (Jeremiah 23:15).
Those that operate in spiritual witchcraft release confusion everywhere they go. Once a man told me about a conflict he had with what God said to him versus what prophets said to him. He said, “God spoke to me and told me that I am supposed to go to the nation of Brazil.”
That got my attention because I love to meet people who are responding to God’s call to the nations. But then he said that another prophet told him that the Spirit of God was saying he was supposed to go to Columbia. Then, to top that, another prophet said that God told him to go to Argentina.
The man said he was confused and didn’t want to miss God. He asked me what I thought. I asked him to tell me what God said to him again. His response was that God only spoke to him about going to Brazil. “Well, that’s your answer,” I told the man.
The point is that it doesn’t matter if an angel from heaven came down and told you something contrary to what God has told you. You should not be listening to anyone but God. Whether a star from the Hollywood prophets – a superstar or a wandering star – you need to do what God told you to do. He will never violate the witness in your spirit or the scriptures. The only thing you need a prophet for at that point is for confirmation and perhaps timing. Prophecy regarding the other nations could have been in the man’s future or nothing more than the operation of witchcraft designed to confuse the man.
CONFIRMATION
We need confirmation to guard us against the manipulation of witchcraft’s operations. There is a “safety net” for all prophetic utterance. That safety net is called confirmation. When God prophesies to you, He is, often, doing so to confirm what He has already placed in your heart.
Upon receiving a prophetic word, you should submit it to the safety net of confirmation like your pastor (Hebrews 13:17). Your pastor is the only one who will have to give account to God for you. Run your dreams, visions and prophecies by him first before doing anything foolish.
Perhaps you have never received a prophecy but are sure that God has spoken to your heart. I have had the same thing, too. I was at a meeting once where prophets were prophesying over everyone except me. I didn’t get a prophecy. I began to feel like maybe something was wrong. All those prophets actively engaged in delivery, but every one of them stayed clear of me. They didn’t come anywhere near me.
When the meeting was over, I asked God, “Why didn’t you give me a prophecy?” He said to me, “You didn’t need one.” If you, however, do receive a personal prophecy, then it is important to submit it to the safety net of your spiritual leader.
LEARNING TO SAY NO
Jeremiah tells us that witchcraft does not come from the Spirit of God, nor should we listen to its message.
“Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They make you worthless; they speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of the LORD’” (Jeremiah 23:16).
Whenever God speaks to you prophetically, He brings:
Direction
Focus
Identity
Confirmation
He quickens you and gives you an assurance that you are going in the right direction. He never brings confusion and wondering, but an assured knowing that you are doing the right thing.
Neither does God release a prophetic word to get into your pocketbook. The Holy Spirit is not a merchandiser. You will never see God hold up and envelope and say, “Anybody that has a hundred dollars, I will give you a prophetic word or pray for your healing.” God will never do that – that’s witchcraft!
If you find yourself in a meeting like that, then get up and leave and don’t go back. If they do things like that in the church you attend, then question your leader. If it persists, then find another church.
Finally, Jeremiah tells us that witchcraft will steal God’s words to deceive. This means that false prophets will sound like the real thing.
“Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith” (Jeremiah 23:30-31).
Those who operate in witchcraft listen intently for true prophetic sayings. They break those sayings down into “buzz words” and repeat them to appear spiritual – that, too, is witchcraft.
ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS
The following questions will help you identify if you have been a victim of prophetic witchcraft.
Have you ever had conflicting personal prophecy and were very confused or hurt by it?
Have you ever received a personal prophecy and it just did not witness with your spirit?
Have you ever heard anyone say, “I am submitted and listen only to the Holy Spirit?”
Do you hear people repeatedly say, “God said”? Does it seem, however, that God is continually changing His mind?
Do you submit prophecies, dreams and visions to your pastor to judge and examine them?
Has anyone ever said they would give you a prophecy in exchange for money?
Have you ever felt that you could prophesy, and it would manipulate someone to do what you wanted?
Did you ever prophesy because you felt a strong pull on you from the people or because you had a reputation to live up to?
Did you ever prophesy because you wanted people to know how spiritual you were?
Have you ever heard someone pray a prayer that was intended to manipulate?
DRIVEN PROPHETS
When you are in prophetic ministry and enter a territory in which witchcraft is operating, it is important to be careful that you receive the unction (permission) of the Holy Spirit to prophesy (2 Peter 1:20-21).
I have seen true prophets prophesy in false operations because they tapped into the spirit of divination that was resident in the territory. I write more on this subject in my book Prophetic Operations. Without a strong unction, it is possible to tap into man-pleasing prophetic divination that feeds the idolatry in someone’s heart (Ezekiel 14).
Jeremiah says that profane prophets and priest are not stable and are driven into slippery places.
“For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house, have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD. Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 23:11-12).
Jeremiah speaks of “slippery ways in darkness.” This speaks of ambiguous prophetic sayings that produce nothing but instability in the people. Witchcraft cannot produce stability.
True prophets build stable believers. Profane prophets produce flaky believers. Profane prophets and priest lack inner peace and are frantically driven. Hitler was driven. Alexander the Great was driven. False prophets are driven. Workers of witchcraft, too, are driven. God doesn’t drive his servants; He leads them ever so gently. Those operating in witchcraft, however, have a driving force egging them on. It’s witchcraft. It’s slippery. It leads to dark places, and it’s not from God.
REFLECTION
True prophets build stable believers.
Profane prophets produce flaky believers.
The word “folly” means to operate in rebellion and foolishness.
Smooth sayings are prophetic words that people want to hear.
Those who operate in witchcraft often accuse God of changing His mind.
Witchcraft releases confusion.
When God speaks prophetically, He brings direction, focus, identity, and confirmation to your life.
The Holy Spirit is not a merchandiser.
Seared Consciences
The Spirit states that in acharit ha'yamim (אַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים), the latter days, people will have “seared consciences,” that is, a moral sense that is rendered unresponsive, numb, and unfeeling... People will be unable to discern the significance of moral and spiritual reality, thereby silencing any qualm of moral protest. We see this today in our scandal-saturated culture, as politicians brazenly lie with impunity and moral anarchy is openly celebrated. We must be careful not to heed the devil’s logic of compromise, that “dialectic” that denies transcendental moral reality by pretending that truth can only be defined by the exigencies of the hour and its desire. "The world passes away and the lusts thereof..." (1 John 2:17). We must consciously remind ourselves that the LORD God of Israel does not endorse sin, regardless of any supposed political benefit given to the world at large, and that the end never justifies the means. God is not a pragmatist; there are no "noble lies" for sake of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Troop Movement Frances Sturgill

Born to Raze Hell by Eliane Tavolacci
As I completed "A Word in Season" and was ready to schedule it to be sent out on a morning, the Holy Spirit brought me in a totally different direction from what I was writing. After speaking with some friends who are so fired up with testimonies of what Jesus is doing in their lives the past few weeks, the Holy Spirit quickened this word to me. We have been placed in the Kingdom of God for such a time as this and we are called to "Raze" Hell. There is no place for lukewarm Christianity. There is no place for mediocrity in the Kingdom of God.
The definition of "Raze" is: To tear down; demolish; level to the ground and completely destroy.
In the book of Revelation Chapter 3:15-16, John wrote to the lukewarm church of the Laodiceans, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."
Although the past year has been the most difficult time in many of our lives and the spiritual warfare seemed to continually increase, the Lord is reversing everything that the enemy meant for evil. Many of you are going to begin to see a breakthrough in your life, and the horrendous trials are coming to an end. We are going to begin to hear God's voice in a new way. We will begin to experience a fresh wave of miracles, signs and wonders. Healing will become an everyday occurrence.
The Former and the Latter Rain
I was recently having a conversation with a friend who I haven't spoken to in some time. He began to tell me about a dream that he had the previous night. In the dream he met Kathryn Kuhlman and she prayed over him and prophesied. Kathryn had an amazing healing ministry in the 1960's and 1970's. There were miracles, signs and wonders in her services just as we read about in the book of Acts. The crippled walked, the blind received their sight, and the deaf received their hearing.
He then met Rodney Howard Browne in this same dream. Rodney who presently has a healing ministry, began to pray and prophesy over him. As he was sharing this dream with me, the Holy Spirit began to give me the interpretation which was this: Kathryn Kuhlman represented the former move of the Holy Spirit and Rodney Howard Browne represented the present move of the Holy Spirit. Together they represented the former and the latter rain. As they each prayed an impartation to my friend in this dream, he then received the anointing for the former and the latter rain as prophesied of in the book of Joel 2:23.
That same night I was watching a live service of Benny Hinn and his son-in-law Michael Koulianos. Michael was so excited and spoke about what the Holy Spirit is doing in his meetings, and using the younger generation to minister with miracles, signs and wonders. Benny then shared what the Holy Spirit released to him in previous years and also spoke about Kathryn Kuhlman. Benny began to play worship music from the earlier days of his ministry. The Holy Spirit was showing me once again that together, their ministries represented the former and the latter rain, and He was going to bring these two streams together in these latter days.
As the lukewarm church rises up, the backslidden, the prodigal sons and the prodigal daughters will return with a vengeance against the kingdom of darkness that tried to re-capture them. Together, we will all begin to experience what Joel prophesied of the former and the latter rain in Joel chapter two.
The Hebrew word for the early rain is the word pourer, "yoreh," which speaks of a soaking rain. The Hebrew word for the latter rain is the harvest rain, "malqoesh." This word speaks of a heavy, torrential violent rain. Prophetically speaking, the early rain was in reference to Pentecost and the latter rain is yet to come. The Bible says that in the last days the Lord will send both the former rain and the latter rain.
Prophetic Word of the Lord:
The Lord says, "I am releasing My glory upon this earth once again. I am raising up Believers who have no fear and will not retreat when confronted with the powers of darkness. I am sending the former and the latter rain of My glory.
"When you see the latter rain begin to fall, do not be afraid to step in. This is not a natural rain. This rain will come with power, and it will come with great strength. This rain will come with substance and it will come in abundance. This rain will come with tenacity and it is available to all who are thirsty. It is available to all who are ready to leave their natural ways of thinking behind and receive all that I have for them. It is available to those who will let go of their traditions and enter in to the newness of what I have made available.
"This rain will produce rivers, and these rivers are now arising. As you step into this river, everything that is dry and brittle will be replenished. Everything that is sick will be restored. I am looking for those who are not afraid to launch out into the deep of this river.
"I am looking for laborers for this harvest who are not afraid to be positioned on the front lines. I will teach you how to extinguish every fiery dart that is aimed at you as I teach your hands to war and your fingers for battle. The warfare that has raged against you will appear minuscule and you will no longer be intimidated by anything that comes against you.
"Many will experience breakthroughs of significant proportions and great miracles that will accompany this outpouring. What seemed impossible with man will become a natural occurrence. Do not become discouraged when you see the dark clouds because they are carrying the heavier rain. The dark clouds are bringing back the former rains and they are carrying in the latter rains which will create massive rivers.
"As I said in My Word, I will work a work in your days which you would not believe if it were told to you. This is the beginning of the days of great harvest and will be glorious as you step out into what I have called you to do," says the Lord.
