Prophecies That God Has Given to His Prophet, Thomas S. Gibson, In the 20th Century
(From the 1970s to December 31, 2000)
2000 08 24.1
For thus says the Lord, here this word and understand. I am not against the churches. But I am, says the Lord, against the churches who follow after the structure of man, who follow after the structure of human resources, who seek to glorify themselves, and who seek to do things according to the will of the flesh.
I wish My people to seek My Name in purity and love and honesty; not seeking a name for themselves, not seeking anything for themselves. For if they shall seek Me in completeness and totalness from the heart I will meet every need they ever have and I will bless them, says the Lord.
But if they will seek themselves, a name for themselves, an organization for themselves, a piece of the pie (as they think), so that they may be somewhat notable; then I shall crush them, says the Lord. And I shall bring them down, says the Lord. And I shall humble them, says the Lord. And I shall rebuke them!
For thus says the Lord, this is not a time to be religious. This is not a time to walk in the flesh. The Spirit is what you need. The Spirit of the Living God is what you need. The Power of the Living God must flow.
For the times ahead are going to be hard for My people! For great persecution shall come. Even in America it shall be! Even in Canada it shall be! Even in Europe it shall be! And if you are going to be prepared to walk in the power of these times you must not walk in the things of the flesh, but in the things of the Spirit.
For it is only in that Power that you can face what is to come. It is only in that Power you can know how to walk through this. For My Spirit will be with you, teaching you every minute, every hour of the day.
And it is that you must walk in. If you can’t walk in it now when times are easy, how are you going to walk it in later when times are past easy and are becoming hard! And what I prophesied in this prophecy is not the great persecution that shall come––this will be just the beginning. This will be just the beginning.
Persecution shall get harder. It shall be like the days of old in the Iron Curtain countries which so squashed the church. That is how it is going to come. That is what it is going to be like. For the worldliness that satan has infused into America, Canada, Europe, and other areas, this shall rise up in strength. It shall rise up in power. And when it does, the greatness of the Lamb shall also rise up.
My people shall walk in power. My people shall walk in strength. For have you not understood, have you not comprehended that the times and the seasons at hand are to prepare for what is to come?
That is why there must be a burning out of sin in the church. That is why there must be churches raised up that will walk truly and dedicated to My Spirit, says the Lord, and not to themselves, and to any name they come up with; but they’ll be churches of Me.
For there have been raised up churches of this, and churches of that name, and churches of some other name––all trying to make a name for themselves. But I, says the Lord, I am looking for a church that is raising up the Name of Jesus. My Name, says the Lord, not some other name.
That is of the Kingdom of God. And that is what will walk in power and strength. That is what will have strength against the evil of these end times. And that is what will have victory over the evil of these end times. So says the Lord God of Heaven!
