A Plague On Both Houses

PREFACE

Before I place this “WORD” that ABBA gave to me I am required to precede it with some information for any readers who do not “know” me.

In 1995 I got our first computer for my family. Shortly afterwards I learned about the WWW. Now all my life I have had dreams. Many strange and many were actually alarming to various degrees. But one day in the mid 80’s I stumbled across a passage of scripture in the BOOK of JOB….

Job 33:12 Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

Job 33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters

Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not.

Job 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

Job 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

Job 33:17 That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man.

Job 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Strange as it may seem, it seems I has been hearing “GOD’S VOICE” since the day HE PULLED me from my pit. Worse than that was that, I assumed that all “Christians” did also. Boy is that error. But being young and unknowing I simply desired to listen, and obey when taught by THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. I took scripture very seriously. Like JOB 33 I lived on Jeremiah

Jer 33:2 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name

Jer 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not

Jer 33:4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;

Jer 33:5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city

Jer 33:6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth

Jer 33:7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first

Jer 33:8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me

You may have noticed both sets of verses are 7 in length. These things were “pointed out” to me by THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, and I was directed from one area of study to another. Then one day I had a really intense DREAM and was told to “WRITE IT DOWN AND RUN WITH IT”….

Hab 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved

Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it

Hab 2:3 For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

So I posted “WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT”. It was posted on numerous sites. Bill Somers of END TIME PROPHETIC VISION posted it and it is still archived there.

(Not anymore, but you can find it here: http://www.mikkojokitalo.fi/438290642)

Now Bill and I never agreed on every jot and title of doctrine and dogma, but we agreed on most things. Over time many of my “posts” got around and are found in many places I do not know of until someone who reads one goes looking for me. I hide in plain sight.

Over the years I have interacted with many groups. At least for a time and a season… If you ask many of these people they may tell you my three greatest virtues are that I am RUDE, CRUDE, and OFFENSIVE. Many say that I have the ability to make people want me to leave their group. Like JOB and JEREMIAH, EZEZIEL has a 33rd chapter, too…. it has 7 verses…

Eze 33:27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that [be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence

Eze 33:28 For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through

Eze 33:29 Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed

Eze 33:30 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD

Eze 33:31 And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, [but] their heart goeth after their covetousness

Eze 33:32 And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

Eze 33:33 And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them

Now back in the late 1980’s THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT told me I had to leave THE WILDERNESS. I did not want to go, period. More so an “ORGANIZED” “SPIRIT-FILLED” “CHURCH”! But ABBA said I was ready “TO BE SENT”. That I was a “NABI”…. HIS SERVANT. Now I had learned what happened to GOD’S SERVANTS. “NABI” is HEBREW FOR PROPHET. SERVANTS/PROPHETS do not expect to ‘retire’. They usually are ran down and killed. So I was thrilled to be sent into an ASSEMBLY OF GOD ‘church’.

It was there my “REAL EDUCATION” began. After 3 aborted attempts I was told to leave in 1995. ABBA kindly told me that I no longer had to worry about being HIS NABI. But by this time I knew no good deed goes unpunished, so was really thrilled when HE SAID I was now AN APOSTLE. My lack of exuberance caused THE KING OF KINGS much laughter. You see HE ALWAYS KNOWS what I am thinking. And my thought was simply, “STRIKE THREE”.

So I WENT OUT… and came back and waited. In 1997 I ran up a post.

To say I am “wordy” is acceptable. Numerous people have been led to ARCHIVE my postings over the years. Considering I have had periods where I was told to “WAIT AND BE STILL” that ran from weeks to months to almost a year, the actual amount I have posted is frightening.

In 2001 things went big time and my wife and I quit our jobs with a combined annual income of @ $120,000. Sold our house in one day, it never had a chance to get on the market. Our daughter graduated from college, got a job and found her future husband. We relocated to NORTH CAROLINA from MIAMI, FLORIDA. Got new jobs, bought a house, and hunkered down.

And I joined the WATCHMEN-PROPHETS ASSEMBLY set up by Stephen Bening. If you look back in the WPA ARCHIVES and look where there is great activity. You will find they start a week to ten days before such things as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. As I ‘write’ this the same sense of urgency fills me. Time has run out.

The “last” time I left the WPA Stephen Bening posted a long narrative of how glad he was that I “WAS GONE”. It’s an interesting read. And I do not hold it against him. In fact two days ago he posted to the WPA a post about his need to “prune it back”. Which is what ABBA said would be my marching orders for THE PRUNING.

I regret to say that Bill Somers and Stephen Bening are the two men I was told to watch for my “witness”. This is something that grieves my spirit greatly. But in March of this year I was told to LEAVE MY BROOK and GO BACK. It was time to go to MOUNT CARMEL and watch the CARNAGE. I was flooded by emails from people asking what my “thoughts were” concerning the events transpiring in LAKELAND, FLORIDA. What kept bothering me was people wanted my “thoughts” which are worth nothing. No one asked me WHAT THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT said about it.

What THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT simply said was FIRST and SECOND THUNDER. Go look in my humble archives…I wrote it all in 1998-1999.

Now this DEALS with the THIRD THUNDER, and it hurts.

On March 18th I went on MEDICAL LEAVE OF ABSENCE. The next day the flood began. It stopped when I “entered” the discussion on LAKELAND on CHARISMA MAGAZINE ON LINE. I was stunned that no “charismatic” mentioned anything about “DISCERNMENT”… as in the GIFT of THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT. After numerous posts to their BLOG and to individuals I was told to stop and WRITE.

What followed were SIGNS AND WONDERS, THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY, and SERPENT SEED. THE LORD OF HOSTS began the FINAL HARVEST. ABBA SENT STRONG DELUSION and off we went.

Neither Bill Somers nor Stephen Bening posted the above three on their main forums. Stephen did post them in an ARCHIVE of what I had written that he started years ago. Bill posted one post called COMBAT IN THE COMING CRISIS. Bill Somers calls LAKELAND a “move of GOD”, and Stephen Bening is aligned with those who have STEPPED UP to SPEAK OUT AGAINST IT.

And I find myself broken for I know neither has listened to THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT as they should have.

Yesterday I POSTED “THE PRUNING”…. it ended with ABBA saying….

“I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WILL FIND PLEASURE IN SHEMUEL. YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS AND WHEN ONE OF THE TWO YOU HAVE WALKED WITH WILL WRITE ABOUT THE PRUNING THEY WERE REQUIRED TO DO, YOU SHALL TELL OF THIS VISION AND PASS IT ON. EVEN TO THOSE WHO HAVE CAST YOU AWAY. THERE BLOOD IS ON THEIR OWN HEADS. THEN YOU WILL EXPLAIN WHY BOTH HOUSES SUFFER PLAGUE.”

Now everyone saw that ‘term’ PLAGUE. It does sort of JUMP OUT at you.

Now in SIGNS AND WONDERS I share that HOLY GOD claims ownership of SIGNS AND WONDERS which just happened to be PLAGUES in EGYPT. Please do not ask me what this “PLAGUE” is about.

I was not told. That is simple, isn’t it?

What is not simple is the “context” that could easily be missed. The IMAGE of a POX/PLAGUE on BOTH HOUSES is from Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET. ACT 3: Scene 1. I find it interesting that ABBA sees the great CIVIL WAR IN THE CHURCH as many now claim it is as merely a petty feud by two street gangs disrupting a single city. And Verona was a small city compared to many.

Yes, I admit that ROMEO AND JULIET is to most people a “LOVE STORY”. A really sick and perverse one if you are honest about it. The whole plot centers about two EXTENDED FAMILIES. Families with PROPERTY and POSITION who hate each other’s GUTS. The ELDER LEADERSHIP of BOTH HOUSES allow/urge their youth to violence and bloodshed. In this STORM to very young and inexperienced people fall in “LOVE” and DIE.

Shakespeare wrote it as a TRAGEDY. What has played out “because” of LAKELAND is a GREAT TRAGEDY. People who should have known better picked a side and joined the “rumble”. Many have thrown words and curses back and forth. Then they claim JUSTIFICATION for their words, thoughts and actions. They defend their CHOICE.

Personally, I really do not care. When I first heard the word LAKELAND back in February I PRAYED and WAITED…. I HEARD….

BE STILL… WATCH AND WAIT…

And what a show has followed…. from both sides.

So today I merely am a “delivery boy”…. with a brief note from THE GREAT PHYSICIAN. FINAL DIAGNOSIS…. PLAGUE….

INTERESTING TIMES ARE UPON US.

LET GOD BE PRAISED
