Witchcraft in the Church 63<br />
word. He was led by the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God to pull out a map <strong>of</strong> America,<br />
<strong>and</strong> his finger was led to the port city <strong>of</strong> Pensacola, Florida. The Holy<br />
Spirit spoke to him that a revival would come to that city <strong>and</strong> would<br />
spread like fire across America. That is exactly what happened.<br />
Now, back to the prophets who came to the revival. They prophesied<br />
the three stages <strong>of</strong> revival would be: first repentance, second righteousness<br />
(right living), <strong>and</strong> the third stage would be signs <strong>and</strong> wonders.<br />
The five years <strong>of</strong> father’s day <strong>of</strong> 1995 to father’s day <strong>of</strong> 2000 the<br />
phase <strong>of</strong> repentance was completed powerfully under the preaching <strong>of</strong><br />
evangelist Steve Hill. Millions were affected in this nation.<br />
A Warm season <strong>of</strong> Grace Moving into a season <strong>of</strong> Judgment<br />
The last five years from 2000 to 2005 have been a warm season <strong>of</strong><br />
grace from the Lord. The Lord has been gently calling for his people to<br />
turn from their sin <strong>and</strong> live holy before him. The Lord has been patiently<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ing at the door <strong>of</strong> the body <strong>of</strong> Christ <strong>and</strong> knocking (Rev<br />
3:20), but he is about to bust through the door <strong>and</strong> clean house. Just<br />
as we saw in Jesus’ ministry on the earth. He had zeal for his house<br />
<strong>and</strong> with a whip ran those out that were money changers. He is about<br />
to do the same again. His house has become a place <strong>of</strong> rebellion,<br />
pride, competition, division, idolatry, <strong>and</strong> greed. He will again cleanse<br />
as he casts down the idols <strong>and</strong> drives out the money changers from his<br />
house. The last five years have been a season <strong>of</strong> grace for those that<br />
have discerned it <strong>and</strong> allowed it in their lives. Those who have not discerned<br />
this will find cleansing through judgment. We see in 1Peter 4:17<br />
judgment begins with the household <strong>of</strong> God. I believe the Lord is fed up<br />
with blatant rebellion against his word. We see in Hebrews chapters 12<br />
through 13 how the Lord disciplines his children to bring about holy<br />
lives. The Bible goes as far as to say that without holiness no man will<br />
see the Lord. Jesus states this when he says only the pure in heart will<br />
see God. The Lord is motivated with such love when bringing judgment<br />
on his people. It is a sign that those who are being disciplined are the<br />
children <strong>of</strong> God, for the Bible says he disciplines those he loves <strong>and</strong><br />
considers children (Hebrews 12:111).<br />
At the end <strong>of</strong> Hebrews chapter 12 we see that what can be shaken<br />
(that which is not <strong>of</strong> God) will be shaken, only leaving that which is <strong>of</strong><br />
the Lord, because our God is truly a consuming fire. Those that have<br />
held on to things that are not <strong>of</strong> God, such as unrepentant sin, unforgiveness,<br />
pride, rebellion against God’s word, criticism, <strong>and</strong> unrighteous<br />
judgment (to name some things) will find themselves in a place <strong>of</strong><br />
discipline (judgment) from the Lord in the days to come. It will be painful<br />
for a time, but it will ultimately bring about the good that is needed.
