When this was sent me this I was not going to send it out, but Kay Arthur is one person I truly admire for her teachings. When I read this my heart sunk.
People we are living in a time where we all have to decide who are we truly going to serve!!!
Please read below.
This was on the pastor's blog at Valley View.
Dear Ones, On June 27th and 28th I attended a conference in
Atlanta called Deeper Still. Internationally known speakers Kay Arthur, Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer were there and I looked forward to a special time of worship and having God convict me of my sins and lead me to areas in my life where I need to change. I have been to similar conferences for years, although none this large and with so many well-known speakers.
There were over 20,000 women in attendance at the Phillips Arena in
Atlanta - they said it was the largest crowd ever. I had an idea of
what to expect from the conference, but nothing prepared me for what actually happened. I feel led to share my experience with family and friends. This is important, so stay with me!
When Kay Arthur took the stage you could just tell that her spirit was
heavy and there was a certain "heaviness" in the atmosphere even before she started to speak. She said that she had been literally physically sick to have to bring us this message and right out the gate she said,"We are in grave danger." She said that God had revealed to her that a literal famine is coming to America . Physical, not spiritual. She said that God is moving in judgement against our nation.
I know I can't describe this well enough, but the atmosphere was ominous. Kay is a seasoned speaker and she had to BATTLE to get through her message. She stumbled over scriptures and had an extremely difficult time.
At times I was almost expecting her to collapse. At one point she just had to stop and pray. There was no person, myself included, that I could see who did not have tears streaming down their faces. As you may know, Kay Arthur is normally a very confident, composed speaker, but she was literally in a spiritual battle and it was taking place right before my eyes.
I have never seen anything like it. She went on to give 7 things
that Christians must do during this time and I am going to give those to you now:
- Jer 4:3- Break up the fallow ground- return to Me. Repent. Get on your face before God and ask him to break your heart with the things that break His heart.
- Mourn- Jer. 9:17-18 and Ezekial 9. It is time to weep because our nation's sin is incredible.
- Pray- Jer 36:7- Pray fervently, passionately for America .
- Love God's Word- Jer. 20. You MUST love the Word of God and be in the Word of God.I was particularly convicted here because I know I have not been as deeply in His Word as I need to be. She said we must get serious about this.
- Love others as Jesus loved them. Jer. 31:3 and John 13:34.
- Introduce people to Jesus Christ. It's time to get serious about this. This is no time for timidity. Jer 31:31; Jer 33:1-9 and 15 and 17.
- Rest. If you will do these things, then rest in the fact that you have done God's will. She said that it is going to be vitally important for us to get enough physical rest. She went on to say that God has not given us a spirit of fear and that if we are obedient to Him, we will be protected.
She said to read Ezekial 14 over and over until you understand it. This is what God will do if a country turns against Him. She said that this is going to be a calamity ( she used the word calamity in such a way that you knew this is going to be no small thing) for our country, and gave many more scripture references, but what I have given you are the main points that she made. I hope you know that I would not have sent this to you if I had not been profoundly affected by it and feel it is of great importance to share it. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you will do with this information what you feel led by God to do.
Love in Christ Jesus,
Beth -I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength....Philippians 4:13
I posted this at the request of our founder because part of saving our children is being prepared for how to care for them in the times to come. Here are the thoughts I shared with her when I received the above information from her........
I think that she is absolutely right, what she said has been revealed to me several times. I have been hearing some very disturbing things about what is to come for a little while now. And just have to have the mindset that God will bring His children through and provide for us until Jesus returns (which probably is not far away either). I try to look at things as positively as I can, but God already told us these things were to come in His Word (the Bible). Now we all have to not just say we are Christians when it is convenient, but we will have to stand on His Word, believe every word of it, speak it, and hold on to it for dear life in the days ahead.
I believe some of the things my family has gone through in the last years was God preparing us for what is to come. To show us that He is our Provider no matter what circumstances or people around us say about our situation. He has shown me over and over that He is faithful and can absolutely be trusted to be there when I need Him. We (His children) will be fine. But we will have to (no matter what it looks like around us) hold on to our faith in God and His Word. For those who trust in God, please just remember that we have not been given a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Psalm 91:7 says that "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee." God is our Protector and Provider. Much love and many blessings always!
