Christianity Etc › Re: Alert: Satan Has Poured Out Spirit Of Witchcraft, Heavily. Step Up Your Prayer by annyplenty(op): 5:04pm On Sep 21, 2014
If you observe the level of sin people are committing all over the world, you will agree that some unclean spirits are moving men/women to a new level in iniquity. Strange and weird behaviours are coming up on daily basis.

Dont be caught unawares. There are a lot of evil spirits all around. Only the blood of Jesus can provide a full cover.

AS it was in the days of Noah, so it is now. In the days of Noah, many people were also possessed with unclean spirits so much that God said He would not allow His Spirit to contend with man any more.
Christianity Etc › Alert: Satan Has Poured Out Spirit Of Witchcraft, Heavily. Step Up Your Prayer by annyplenty(op): 4:47pm On Sep 21, 2014
SATAN HAS POURED OUT HEAVY SPIRIT OF WITCHCRAFT: CHRISTIANS SHOULD STEP UP THEIR PRAYER LIVES.

On Tuesday, September 11th, 2014, some few minutes to 2p.m, NIGERIAN time, I was told by voice in the dream the following words “Satan has poured down, heavily, spirit of witchcraft. Christians should step up their prayer lives”. Though I heard the voice, yet I did not see the owner of the Voice.

JOEL2:28
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions


In Joel 2:28, God promised to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh for the purpose to make people call upon His name and be saved. And God is already fulfilling His promises.


Satan is a counterfeiter. He always does the counterfeit of whatever God does. As God is pouring out His Holy Spirit to prepare His people for Rapture, Satan, also, is pouring out all his unclean spirits and demons because he has only a small time left. (Revelations 16:3, 1 Timothy 4:1). There are widespread unclean spirits, demons and demonic manipulations.

At this juncture, I will share some more visions to support what I am saying.


* Sometimes, I was in a fasting session, and then I had a revelation. In the revelation, I saw that demons have invaded everywhere and they were approaching me. Suddenly, I saw a spiritual sword in my hand. And I begin to use the sword to cut the demons into two as they approach me but the more I cut the demons with sword the more in number the demons became. At a point I seemed to be overwhelmed with the growing number of the demons. Then, suddenly, I was caught up as if by rapture. As I was being caught away, I shouted “I enter the glory of my father”.


* On another occasion, I saw myself in a dream, and I was in a meeting with some other ministers of the Word. Then I looked around and some demons hiding in different places and watching us. Some demons lurked inside tress. Some hid themselves in the ground and in some other items.


* Last, in another vision, I saw myself in a crusade and a Pastor was preaching and was telling the congregation to be careful that demons have invaded the earth. The pastor said that of all the countries of the earth, it was Republic of Benin that had highest presence of demons. Then suddenly, my eyes were opened and I was made to see that everybody in the congregation had been possessed with demons including the pastor that was preaching. I was the only that was not possessed with demons among all the congregation.

Bride of Christ, please step up your prayer at this time. Satan is fighting his last fights. He is throwing every dart and arrow at all directions. It is only those who are filled with Holy Spirit and can pray fervently and live holy life than can survive these attacks of the enemy.
Don’t expose yourself to attack of the enemy. Pray always and cover yourself with blood of Jesus Christ.

Before use, pray on all items you bought, including food.

Please, avoid the following things not to expose yourself to the enemy:
Occultic church
Magic/sorcery movies
Horror movies
Items with demonic pictures
Demonic songs
Occultic movies, books and songs and more.

Jesus Christ, The Messiah is coming. Repent and Live in Holiness and Righteousness.

EARTHQUAKE IS COMING! NIGERIA REPENT!

Christianity Etc › Re: Visions Of EARTHQUAKE Coming To Nigeria. by annyplenty(op): 6:41pm On Sep 03, 2014
URGENT !

Hello,

God keeps repeating to me that EARTHQUAKE IS COMING TO NIGERIA.

For several times since the year 2012, God has been showing to me that earthquake is coming upon Nigeria. I have lost count of how many times I have received the message. And on, 3rd September, 2014, again, in the morning, God brought the vision again and it seemed very urgent and imminent.

God had weighed the nation of Nigeria and has found her wanting.

God is thus calling for urgent repentance from individuals, youths, families, groups, and entire nation to avert this judgement. Please repent of all your sins and pray for mercy and protection. Call other people to repentance. Pray and intercede.

Note: Repentance is more than just prayer of forgiveness. Repentance means praying for forgiveness of your past sins and stop committing further sins.

In the days on Nineveh, God was not moved because the people of Nineveh prayed and fasted alone but God was moved when they turned away from their evil ways (sins) and He spared Nineveh Jonah 3: 6-10 . Nigerians must do same.
Live holy and ask God for mercy, even for this nation.

The links below are the past warnings I have given about the same issue.

I have gone from bus to bus to warn people. I have sent text messages to warn people. I sent emails to warn people. I have gone on morning cries to warn people. I pray we will behave like the people of Nineveh.

Any one that refuses to repent is desiring the DAY OF THE LORD. In other words, the person is daring God and saying what can God do to Him if he did not repent. If you are such a person, read the scripture below to know what awaits you when the Day Of The Lord comes..

Zephaniah 1:14-18
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD�S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

JESUS is coming. Repent and live in absolute holiness and righteousness in Christ Jesus.

Dear Friend,

Do you know God commands us to fast often at this perilous times as we continue to prepare and wait for the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ at rapture?

As the Preparing For Rapture Series continues we present to you a teaching titled 'PREPARING FOR RAPTURE, (Part 6), FASTING'. It underscores the importance of FASTING in preparing for rapture. Please read and share with others.


TOPIC: PREPARING FOR RAPTURE, PART 6, (FASTING)

TEXTs: JOEL 1: 13-15, JOEL 2:11-12,15

JOEL 1; 13-15
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

JOEL 2: 11-12, 15
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:


INTRODUCTION

Before we introduce FASTING as a key way of Preparing for Rapture, let us say again for the purpose of clarity and better understanding of this teaching that The Day of the Lord means The Day of Rapture. We had already done a teaching titled ‘The Day Of The Lord’ where we exposed biblically that when ‘The Day Of The Lord’ is mentioned in the Bible, it simply means ‘The Day Of Rapture’. If you will like to read the teaching, please, view it at http://jesuscoming1..com/2013/12/end-time-study-day-of-lord.html or send email to jesuscoming@yahoo.com or raptureglorious@gmail.com to receive the teaching or our other teachings in word document format.


In each of the two texts above, God gave series of instructions for His Ministers (Pastors, Prophets, Evangelists, Church leaders, Choristers, and All Christians). Also, in each of the two texts, He mentioned the reasons for giving them the instructions.

In the first text, He gave the instructions before telling them the reason for the instructions while in the second text He first told them the reason why He gave them the instructions that follow.

However, you chose to look at it, the two texts are emphatically saying the same things. And the instructions contained in each of them are what we are about to explore to underscore FASTING as an important way of Preparing for Rapture.


GOD’S CALL FOR FASTING IN PREPARING FOR RAPTURE

What this teaching seeks to achieve is not just to teach you about fasting but to underscore fasting as a vital way of preparing for rapture. To achieve this aim, let us first examine the generality of instructions given by God on how to prepare for rapture and reasons why God gave such instructions. We will analyze our two texts above to explore these instructions.


INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY GOD IN THE FIRST TEXT

From our first text, Joel 1; 13-15, the instructions and reasons given by God to His ministers are itemized below.

1. They should lament and howl Joel 1:13. This means sorrowful repentance.

This type of repentance was mentioned by The Lord, Jesus Christ, in Mathew 5:4. Also, this was the type of repentance King David did in Psalm 51 after He committed adultery.

2. They should lie all night in sackcloth Joel 1:13 (all night repentance i.e. night vigil of repentance).

Today, many churches are organizing various night vigil programmes but I am yet to see any night vigil programme held solely for repentance. And yet God calls for All Night Repentance at this hour.

3. They should call a FAST Joel 1:14.

4. Call solemn assembly and cry to God Joel 1:14. (They should organize congregational prayers and repentance).


REASONS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY GOD IN THE FIRST TEXT

The following two reasons were given by God as the reasons why He gave His ministers the instructions above.

1. The Day Of The Lord is at hand Joel 1:15. (This means that the day of rapture is near).

2. The Day Of The Lord shall come as a destruction from God Joel 1:15. (This means that Rapture will come with destruction).

Apostle Paul referred to this destruction as ‘Sudden Destruction’ in 1 Thessalonians 5:3 while Prophet Jeremiah described how horrific the destruction will be in Jeremiah 25:33-34.


INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY GOD IN THE SECOND TEXT

From our second text, Joel 2: 11-12, 15, God first gave the following instructions to His ministers.

1. They should turn to God with all their hearts Joel 2: 12. (This means sanctification and purity of heart).

Jesus Christ mentioned same in Mathew 5: 8.

2. They should call a FAST Joel 2:12, 15

3. They should weep and mourn Joel 2:12 (this means sorrowful repentance as described above in the case of the first text).

4. They should blow the trumpet Joel 2: 15 (This means evangelism).

They should warn people of what is about to happen and call them to repentance.


REASONS FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN BY GOD IN THE SECOND TEXT

God gave the reason mentioned below as the reason why He gave His ministers the instructions above.

1. The day of the LORD is great and very terrible Joel 2: 11

This means that the day of rapture will be very great for those that make rapture while it will be full of destruction and terror for those that miss it.


From the two texts above, after having considered the instructions and the reasons why God gave such instructions to His ministers, what we can logically conclude is that it is only by following the instructions that can we escape the destruction and terror that comes with the day of the Lord, the day of Rapture. And since one of the God-given instructions is ‘Fasting’, it is important to fast habitually this perilous time as a way of Preparing for Rapture.


IS FASTING REALLY NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR RAPTURE?

In the affirmative, the answer is YES for the following reasons.

1. GOD, Himself, ordained fasting as a preparation for the Day of The Lord, (RAPTURE). See the analyses of the texts above, Joel 1:14, Joel 2:12, 15.

2. Since we need to be filled with The Holy Spirit at all times to be able to make rapture, fasting will help us to crucify the flesh and allow for maximum in-filling of Holy Ghost. Gal 5:24. See the web address http://jesuscoming1..com/2014/01/end-time-study-preparing-for-rapture.html for our teaching titled ‘Preparing for rapture, part 3, Being filled with The Holy Ghost or make a request to receive the teaching by word document.

3. Fasting aids deliverance. Many people are possessed with evil spirits, demons, and unclean spirits. Many people are into some evil covenants and so on, and they need to be delivered of all these things before rapture. Fasting will aid these deliverances. Isaiah 58:6.

The Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself, said there are some afflictions that can never go unless by fasting and praying. Mathew 17:21.

4. Through Fasting, Repentance and Turning away from evil, the anger of God can be turned away. Jonah 3: 5-10.

5. Fasting and Prayer will help to achieve victory of the demonic manipulations of this time.

There may be some other reasons why fasting could be necessary as a preparation for rapture, but let us stop at these 5 points.

Now, that we have analyzed our texts above and mentioned some other points why fasting is necessary, at this time that we are preparing for rapture, let us explain some things about fasting for the sake of those that are new to fasting or know little about it.


WHAT IS FASTING?

There are two basic perspectives through which we will try to define fasting.
The first perspective is fasting from man’s perspective while the second perspective is fasting from God’s perspective.

1. From the perspective of man, Fasting is a deliberate abstinence from food or from food and water for a period of time in other to seek the face of God. Jonah 3: 5-7

2. From the perspective of God, Fasting means more than abstinence from food and water. God sees fasting as a way of spiritually afflicting our souls for the purpose of achieving the desire of God. Isaiah 58: 5-6.

Let’s consider the scripture below. Isaiah 58: 5-6.

5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

In Isaiah 58:5 above, God defines fasting as affliction of soul while in verse 6, He mentioned what He desires to achieve on man through the fasting and these include loosing of bands, undoing burdens, setting captives free, breaking yokes.


TYPES OF FASTING

I will categorize fasting in 2 ways.

1. Fasting according to nature of food used to break the fast or eaten during the fast.

Some of the fasting methods under this category include

Regular fasting: No restriction is placed on the type of food you can use to break your fast.

Daniel Fasting: This is the type of fasting Prophet Daniel did in Babylon. The basis of this fasting could be found in Daniel 1:12, Daniel 10:2-3. In this type of fasting, only food item planted in the ground is eaten. Food items that could not be eaten include all meats, all sea foods, all drinks except water, all leaven bread, all additives including refined salts, processed food seasonings. Only natural plant food and water could be taken.

For more information about Daniel fast and the natures of food that could be eaten to break your fast, we recommend that you, please, see the following websites. (Please, note that we are not the owners of the websites. Please make your decision after seeing them)

http://danielfast./daniel-fast-food-list/
http://www.daniel-fast.com/aboutthefast/

Water Fasting: In this type of fasting, only water is taken during the fasting. No other food is taken.

WARNING: Please, make sure you are trained in fasting before you do water fasting and make sure you drink water at any time of the day you are thirsty.

Fruit Fasting: Only fruit and water could be used to break your fasting.

No Food, No water, Fasting: In this fasting, nothing enters your mouth for 3 days. Apostle Paul did this type of fasting at his conversion, Acts 9:9. Esther also fasted this type of fast, Esther 4: 15-17.

WARNING: This fasting should not be prolonged more than 3 days. Seek medical experts for counselling on how to go about the fasting and how to break it. Also consult your pastor or a brother who had done such a fasting for advice.


2. Fasting according to length of days of fast.

Three Day Fasting: Acts 9:9, Esther 4: 15-17.

Seven Day Fasting: 1 Samuel 31:13

Twenty One Day Fasting: Daniel 10:2-3

Forty Day Fasting: Mathew 4:2

As led by the Holy Spirit: You may decide to fast for 1 day, 14 days or as led by The Spirit of God.


HOW NOT TO FAST IN VAIN AS YOU PREPARE FOR RAPTURE

Fasting is a very difficult spiritual exercise. God, Himself knows that man does not find fasting easy. God refers to ‘fasting’ as affliction of soul, Isaiah 58:5. However, as much difficult as this exercise can be, it will shock you to know that it can be done in futility, if it is not done according to the will of God.

Before you embark on that fasting, it will benefit you to know those things that can render your fasting useless before you embark on it. Otherwise, your fasting will just be a mere dieting exercise, rather that being a spiritual exercise rewarded by God. Please ensure the following instructions in your fasting as you prepare for rapture.

1. Obey the voice and commandments of God. Do the will of God and live in holiness and righteousness. Zechariah 7:1-14.

When the children of Judah were in Babylonian captivity for 70 years, they always embark on fasting every fifth and every seventh month for the whole 70 years of their captivity. However, when they returned back to their land in Judah, they got to know that God did not reckon with all their fastings for those 70 year period because they continued to live in the same sins that led them to the captivity in the first instance and they did not obey God. See Zechariah 7:1-14

2. Don’t fight, strive, hate, or hold any bitterness in your heart. Isaiah 58: 4.

3. Repent and pray along with your fasting. If you are not praying or somebody is praying for you during fast, it may just be an hunger exercise. Prayer must go along with fasting.

4. Don’t fast for showmanship. Mathew 6: 16-18.


CONCLUSION

The Prophets of Old Fasted. The Lord, Jesus Christ fasted. Jesus Christ once told His Disciples that a time is coming that they will need to fast like the Disciples of John, The Baptist, were fasting. Fasting is not exempted for us, Christians, too. The instruction to fast at this time can then not be over-emphasized. It is important and there could be no better time to fast than this time that the Messiah is coming.

SUMMARY
By considering two principal texts, we have analyzed how God calls us to fast often at this time that we are expecting the return of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We also mentioned some other important reasons to expatiate God’s call for fasting.
We later defined what fasting is from the perspective of God and Man. We also mentioned some types of fasting that could be possible. and lastly we highlighted what could spoil your fasting and reduce it to mere ‘hunger strike’ rather than a spiritual affliction of the soul that God wants it to be.

Now, we want to encourage you to consider fasting as you prepare for rapture. God made a call on us to fast. Kindly heed the call. All our teachings are not just another teachings but teachings that are set to show you what to do and encourage you to do them. They are meant to be practical teachings on how to prepare for rapture.

If you are not trained in fasting, you can begin with a light fasting. Don’t fast for too long hours. You can break your fast by 12noon and gradually you increase the length of hours. Also, you can begin with once-a-week or twice-a-week fasting and then you can increase the length of time and number of days with time. What is important is consistency and spirituality of it. May God help you as you prepare for rapture.

PRAYERS
1. O Lord, I repent from all sins that will hinder my fast.
2. Holy Spirit of God, deliver me from all bondages, yokes, afflictions, spells, curses by the reason of this fast.
3. Lord Jesus Christ, by the reason of this fast, set me free from ‘that which cannot go, unless by fasting and praying’.
4. Lord, crucify my flesh and fill me with the Holy Spirit.

ACTIONS
Are you an elect of Christ? Are you truly saved? Are you on the narrow road? Do you want to make the rapture/heaven? If your answers are yes, then,

• Repent at all times.
• Heed the warnings of Jesus Christ.
• Be watchful. Pay attention to what is happening around the World and see whether they match what the scriptures say.
• Be filled with the Holy Spirit and be in the Spirit all the time.
• Fast, consecrate yourself, run away from sin and worldliness.

If your answers are NO, then you can repent today. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Kindly, sincerely and faithfully pray the prayer of repentance below and make a determination never to commit sin again.

PRAYER OF REPENTANCE
Lord, Jesus Christ, I am sorry for all my sins. I confess them with my mouth and I ask for mercy. Please forgive me and wash me in your blood. I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Write my name in the book of life. Give me power over sins and fill me with your Spirit and Joy of Salvation. When rapture trumpet sounds, let me make it. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, I pray.

Begin to read bible. Begin with the book of John. Pray always. Fast regularly to overcome the sinful desires of your flesh. (You can begin with once in a week). Look for a bible believing church where they teach repentance, holiness, salvation and fellowship with them. Pray before you go. Always run away from SINS.

Christianity Etc › Re: End-time Bible Teaching: Preparing For Rapture, Prt 4, (pray Always To Escape) by annyplenty(op): 9:33pm On Aug 29, 2014
The Angel told Lot to escape or he would be consumed by the wrath of God

Genesis 19:17

17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

This is the same thing the Lord Jesus Christ is telling you to do: ESCAPE OR BE CONSUMED BY SUDDEN DESTRUCTION OR GREAT TRIBULATION

Luke 21:36

36 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.

JESUS is coming. Rapture is the only way of escape. Strive to enter.
