Pastor James Shabbat Shalom! The presence of the Lord is so strong this morning. I had to remove my shoes at the beginning of the hallway to the worship room because I felt that I was standing on Holy Ground. It was even stronger when I came back down and even now I feel the awesome and mighty power of God all round me, on me, and in me. I know that the Lord intends for you to feel the awesome power of His presence today also. Just lift up your hands and feel the “kavod” of God falling down on you today. It was so strong in the worship room that it was difficult to walk or even stand in His presence. It was wonderful and awesome beyond description! As I went face down in His presence, I asked the Spirit to truth to reveal what the Lord is doing and saying today. This is a very wonderful truth and I want all of us to experience it as Jesus did. John 5:19-20, “Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” This is my heart’s desire: 1) to do what I see the Father doing; and 2) to say what I hear the Father saying. These two things are the most powerful things available to us today. Remember what Jesus said in John 14:12, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.” As I continued to pray, I was suddenly caught up in a powerful vision of the Lord. I was in the midst of great and powerful strong clouds high above the earth. The clouds were rolling and tumbling with awesome power, but the storm had not yet begun. However, I felt it was imminent and could begin at any moment. I prayed again to hear what the Father was saying and this is what I heard: “I will judge those who hate Israel! I will judge those who conspire against My people!” My thoughts went to Joel 3:2, “I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.” The storm of His judgment is coming to those who are violating His Word and falsely condemning Israel in order to bless Islam. The nations who have advocated for dividing up the Lord’s land and scattering Israel have been summoned to judgment! I knew this word was about the United Nations and all the leaders who are unfairly and unreasonably hostile toward Israel and defending Islamic hatred and violence. False teaching are about to be exposed. Those who teach them are even now coming under God’s judgment. I felt a great call for repentance on behalf of the nations and their leaders. God’s tolerance for anti-Semitism has come to an end and judgment is near. Suddenly I seemed to be in the midst of a great darkness. I didn’t understand it at first, but was shaken awake when a huge flaming mass of rock hurled past me in the darkness. I realized at this point that I was in deep space and seeing things which have been set into motion as part of the Lord’s judgment. The massive rock formation looked like a mountain on fire in the front as it hurled through space. At first I thought it was a comet because of the flames ahead of it. However, this idea changed as I noticed that on the back side I could see the massive rock formation clearly. There was no real trail of flames behind this formation. I then heard the word “Wormwood!” I remembered Revelation 8:10-11, “Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.” I could not see this formation’s position in relationship to Earth. I don’t know how far out it may be or when it may strike the Earth. I just know that the judgment of God has already been set in motion, and we need to be praying earnestly and repenting for all disobedience! Remember the promise at the end of Joel 3:12-16, “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations. Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; For the winepress is full, the vats overflow—for their wickedness is great.” Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” I believe this promise for shelter and strength during the season of judgment is for you and me as well as for Israel. We must not be afraid, because the Lord has promised to be a stronghold and shield for us during times of trouble. Remind one another of the promise in 1 Thessalonians 1:10b, “…wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.” The Lord will rescue us from the coming wrath! Amen! James Pastor James Durham Higher Calling Ministries, Intl P.O.
