The following are words given by participants at the streamed meeting. 1 Corinthians 14:29 says that "Two or three prophets should speak, and the others weigh carefully what is said." 1 Thess 5:19-21 tells us not to despise prophecies, but to test everything and retain what is good.
At beginning of meeting, Scripture Reading Sirach 33:7-9 - "Why are some days holier than others, even though the same sun rises on every day of the year? It is because the Lord made them different by setting them apart as religious holidays and festivals. He made some days holy and important, and made other days ordinary."
Prophecy - I felt the Lord saying right after that song, "That is who I am and more, my people. I am your Savior, healer, forgiver, protector, now and forever. Do not forget that, my people. I am here. I am alive. I am yours. Come to me. Come to me on a daily basis. I love you, my people. Come to me."
Scripture Reading 1 Chron 29:11-13 - "Yours, O Lord, are grandeur and power, majesty, splendor, and glory. For all in heaven and on earth is yours; yours, O Lord, is the sovereignty; you are exalted as head over all. Riches and honor are from you, and you have dominion over all. In your hand are power and might; it is yours to give grandeur and strength to all. Therefore, our God, we give you thanks and we praise the majesty of your name."
Prophetic sense - The words in that last song that really struck me, is "even when I don't see it, you are working; even when I don't feel it, you are working." God is working all the time. He's never ever idle and it's just so good to know that and to be aware of that.
Scripture Reading John 14:1-7 - "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way where I am going." Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also; from now on you know him, and have seen him."
Scripture Reading Mark 13:1 - "And as he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher, what wonderful stones and what wonderful buildings!" And Jesus said to him, "Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." And as he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, "Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign when these things are all to be accomplished?" And Jesus began to say to them, "Take heed that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he!' and they will lead many astray. And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places, there will be famines; this is but the beginning of the sufferings."
Prophecy/Confirmation of last 2 readings - "My children, how heavy are the hearts of my people today and how dark is this world experiencing the evil, the dissention and the darkness that is spitting out of people's mouth and behavior. I am the Sovereign God. I am the God who saves. But many people do not know that I am the waymaker. I know the intricacies of my created beings. I know what works and what doesn't work. I also know that my time is not that of your time. So tonight I'm asking my children to be patient with me, to come to me in prayer with all of your needs and wants and all of your heart's desires; all of your fears and trials that you are living. These are crosses that you cannot avoid because it is part of the human condition. But I am finding a way for you, my children, to be able to live above and beyond your human condition. That is why I have given you my Son and it is only through him you will find the relief, the insight and the way to make this happen. Do not fear, my children, when darkness around you surrounds you because the power of my Spirit, the power of my love, and the grace that I am pouring upon all my people around the world is stronger than the power of the evil, the deceptions and the lies that you hear on a day to day basis. You, my people, I have called to become warriors; warriors through the empowerment of my Holy Spirit. You will spread the good news, you will speak my truth and you will let people know about my life, that I exist. Because it is, my children, today in this world, that this is very much needed. Do not lose hope. Hope will help you maintain your faith, and even though faith may be invisible and you may not see the results today, I assure you the result will be in tomorrow, a tomorrow that, yes, you may not see nor understand, but it will happen. My victory will reign over the darkness of this world."
