That's a very good question: He used to ..... speak from the clouds ..... to the Jews in the OT. I think he should let his voice be heard again. Think about how many searching people that would be saved. So maybe he is resting? But I have a feeling that he has spoken to no man then and neither does he today.

Periods of spiritual dry spells tend to yield fewer who are actually close to God, and thus few who actually have any kind of relationship and communication with him. We are in an age of apostasy as has not been seen since probably early Babylon. It's no wonder there are no credible prophets.

Because it's easy to "write" about an imaginary God talking to people, but doing it in reality is a different story.

He didnt talk to "all sorts of people" back then. He had a small handful of chosen prophets He spoke to. Out of billions of people over thousands of years.

He talks to many people today, just not those who have been blaspheming his name, or those who don't believe in him, or those who disobey and disrespect him. You have to be humble and seek him with your whole heart. He deserves honor and praise, not rude disrespect.

(Hebrews 1:1-2) 1 God, who long ago spoke on many occasions and in many ways to our forefathers by means of the prophets, 2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by means of a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the systems of things.

I heard him loud and clear!!!



Did anyone else hear the Fifth trumpet of God Almighty sound when oil wells were lit ablaze during “Operation Desert Storm”?

During the Gulf War when all the oil wells were lit ablaze I was attacked by a demon on three separate occasions all at night. This is what happened. While I slept this demon would fly through the window and attack me. The spirit inside me fought this demon briefly until I awoke. Then it made me take over. I leaped out of bed trying to defend myself. This demon was horrid and spun circles around me thrashing through my soul with his hands. then it left as fast as it came. The demon radiated from the pains associated with the abyss. He was like a coal pulled from the fire, with the pains of the abyss Rev 9, 3. This attack happened on three separate occasions as I have stated. The third time however was different from the rest. As before the demon attacked me, but this time I had enough since to command it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. What happened next is even more amazing. After commanding this demon to leave in the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit delivered me outside my room into the hallway. The demon followed. We were brought into the presence of the Lord. The Demon stood to my left and grabbing my hand with his, it placed its tail on top of my left hand. It was the sting of the scorpion and it went like this. It sent waves of fire through my soul Rev 9, 10. The pain was so sever that I couldn't scream. Unconditionally, I looked straight up and said “father please help me”. The demon then left.



This all happened after being seduced into trying transcendental meditation and falling into spiritual bondage to witchcraft / demonic forces Rev 13,10. Or the spiritual bondage may have occurred after playing a Ouija board as a young boy. I'm not quite sure. What I am sure is that prior to being attacked by this demon, I was forced to go through the N.W.O's. “secret” ceremony performed through transcendental meditation assisted with witchcraft / demonic forces. Why I say demonic forces is that I believe all witchcraft to be the powers of demons / the Devil. I was forced with witchcraft, through methods of torture, to go through said ceremony. The methods of witchcraft included mind control / manipulation, heart palpitations, witchcraft dreams causing sleep depravation, powerful visions, and many other forms. In said ceremony I was instructed to except the worship of one of their many "demonic gods". They informed me that in excepting one of there gods I accepted them all. One of there Gods was the Devil, another they named Jesus, but they had a demon for every occasion. What better way to join all religions of the world together under one banner of 666?



To the best of my knowledge this is the method Satan's Secret Society uses to distribute the “spiritual mark of the beast”, and cause spiritual captivity Revelation 13, 10. Have you received your spiritual mark yet? This may sound hard to believe for those who don't know what I'm talking about but it is a true story. Hear are a few scriptures giving in sight. Revelation 13, 10, If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go . This is spiritual captivity to witchcraft / demonic forces. Naham 3, 4, who enslaved nations by her witchcraft. Revelation 18, 23, By your magic spell all nations were led astray.

There is a way out, but it is difficult. Revelation 12, 11, those who overcame, overcame by the blood of the lamb and the “word” of their testimony. They didn't love their own lives so much as to shrink from death. Hebrews 2, 15, by their fear of death they are held in spiritual captivity. Satan's Secret Society has many names; a few are the Mafia / Illuminate Masons 666! Have they been using drug dealers to terrorize your neighbor hood? Christians are their many “Free” Masons and Shriner's in your Christian church? I'm sure they are in all walks of life and the cancer is spreading through out society.



Here is the rest of the story. Three to four nights later the demon returned in the early am @ about 3am. He wasn't alone, Satan / Apollyon and the demon's twin brother was with him. They hovered in the air above the ground, before the olive tree in the back yard. I could see them as the spirit in me manifested them to me! Satan hovered in the middle while the demons were on either side of him. The demon on his left had been thrown into the lake of fire for what he did to me. He radiated like a coal pulled from the fire what seemed to be 15'x15'. He was lit up like a Christmas tree! Graciously yours baptized by fire the witness! Who will believe this testimony? God will be my witness!
