I received a word from a man I’ll call X. X wants to remain anonymous and I will not violate that wish. I’ve known him for going on 20 years. He has spoken prophetically on several occasions telling me of visions God has given him. He said that I could identify him as the executive producer of Heroes Nation. Now over the years, I’ve witnessed the fulfillment of his words. If you’ve followed my work you will note that I don’t give much notice to personal prophecies. But I’ve been privy to a few of these prophecies and watched as his visions come to pass. So, I pass this on – not with a “Thus sayeth the Lord,” but worth noting because of past record.
First, just a bit of history. It was back in the Spring of 2019 that X told me this particular vision. He was in a large church in the same metro area as the town that I live. “I saw the heads of the congregation. People were raising their hands in praise and worship. God told me that in 6 months the seats would be empty. They would be closed down. God told me the church had 6 months to prepare. That’s when it would begin.” Six months later it began. The first cases of Covid were reported in China in December of 2019. Shortly afterward the lockdown came and the churches were ordered to shut down. Most complied including the church X attended. The seats were empty and no worship took place.
Then there was this second prophecy. This time X and his wife were at our church which they were attending before moving out of state. “I was sitting on the left side. And God gave me a vision of a fist coming down and smashing down on New York state. When the fist came down I could see the earths crust buckling and the shock waves went out from there. I could see the shock waves. And I knew this involved the government. The administration. This would be something that involved the government. The church would feel the aftershock. And I saw a mark on the people in the church.” [That mark symbolized all the church.] “And I asked the Lord what the mark meant. ‘Were they marked for destruction…or something worse?’ And the Lord told me they were marked for protection.” It was shortly afterward that the scandal in Albany exploded on the scene and New York’s Governor Cuomo was forced to resign.
His Latest Vision
A few weeks back, X gave me the details of his latest vision over the phone from their new home in a very Red southern state. With the history that I had already seen and the stories that I’ve heard of how God has had him speak into the lives of other ministries I believe it should be taken seriously enough to be prayerfully considered.
Again, the setting was a church, the one they now attend. But its’ application was symbolic of the whole. “I saw the seats of the church were cleared out. And the pastoral leadership were standing in a loose circle at the right front of the sanctuary, talking, with their hands in their pockets or gesturing with their hands. I heard the Pastor say, ‘Oh my God! What do we do now?’ God told me the church was not prepared for what is coming – physically or spiritually. God told me that there would be a 100-day rollout. Then it would hit! That’s the start of what’s coming. And He told me it would occur on a ten-fold scale of what has gone before. I figured it out on my calendar. That takes us to the middle of September.” [He was counting, of course, from the day he had the vision.] “I went to the Lord to ask Him what was coming. ‘Is it revival? Is it persecution?’ He only told me it would come….the pressure would come through economics. Then I saw a man in the church handing over – something – to someone – in exchange for food. They gave him a sandwich. They were not trusting in God but in men. I heard a scripture in church. When I came back to New York State for a visit I got the same scripture. I saw it as confirmation.”
And there you have X’s vision. I know that X has been right in the past. I am always careful with personal prophecy but God has provided that gift to some of His saints. Romans 12:6 tells us that God gives us “gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.” And in Acts 2:17-18, Peter quoted the Prophet Joel, saying: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.” If it speaks to you in any way take it to the Lord in prayer.
