“Will a lion roar...when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:4, 7-8.

Lions certainly roar when they have caught their prey; for they have subdued that which will appease his hunger. He knows he will eat well, he and his pride; for his means and ways have been met with victory. Every creature round about his kill takes cautious heed.

It is much the same with lions of the human kind, that is, the heads of State. They also roar in their own way with praises of themselves for the seemingly good they have done while castigating their rivals.

The king of beasts rules over his domain, and men and women of power rule over theirs with little mercy in the same way that ravenous lion rules over its prey; for it is all but flesh for their dinner. And truly, it is the same when man rules over his prey, the people, it's but flesh for his dinner. Mercy is not a consideration as the oligarchs impose the burden of ever increasing taxes, laws and more laws, with judicial injustices levied at ever level. By the day and for the most part, the populace is desensitized as godliness and virtuous living are undermined, mocked, and made a laughing stock. Among other factors, the constant drumbeat of the news media's humanistic agenda has been very successful in dumbing down the people's moral, sound reasoning, and logical senses.

Political artisans either attempt to justify the fruit of their dark deeds or blame others for what the nation suffers from their ill sown seed, and all the while, they continue to impose infringing laws, ridiculous policies, political correctness to name a few, as the unholy swells to bursting capacity. Sadly, many are oblivious to the obvious. But this is the norm for Adam's descendants.

Howbeit, there may be an appearance of concern and show of mercy from the perpetrators; but such have little weight. Over the ages the lions of kingdoms have promised to fill every empty pot with a chicken, and supply every family with a home filled with all the niceties of life. Today they assure jobs for all who will work and liberally provide for those who will not. This is all done, of course, under the guise of "Caesar's taxation of only the rich." Such "mercy" is not mercy at all. Factually, it is merciless! And it is a sure way of adding to the destruction of a nation; for it takes from them everything that makes them great. Most honorable people will refuse free money, food, and other goods; but when it becomes common place among the populace, and it is by law taken from others, it is very seldom real help, especially when those who work are robbed to give to those who won’t work. This in no way speaks of those who cannot work, or cannot find work, but those who choose not to work as long as others pull their wagon down life’s smooth road. Always, if such continues, there will be more in the wagon than those pulling it, and finally due to the burden upon the pullers, the system will collapse.

 Mercy should be a ready help when there is a genuine need. To do otherwise is to cut away at a nation’s existence. Sadly the mercies we see today have the earmarks of government handouts that often do more harm than good. By no means can this be an act of mercy; for the most part, it is a ploy that binds those to whom they claim are being setting free. It is all a sham, a pretext, an artful guise to gain total control over those to whom the pseudo mercy is to go. The people certainly receive from the hand of the government, who have taken it from the many hands of the people; but it is lacking the true spirit of mercy.

 Mercy of the Kingdom of God, however, is that which truly helps people. You see, it is not administered by the lion that rules supreme over the servants of his kingdom. It is the Lion of Judah. One reason this is possible is that He lays down with the Lamb — the ravaging power over flesh and the sacrificial gentleness toward the lost are in union and perfect harmony. But when a lion rules without the balancing factor of the lamb — whether Cyrus, Darius, Nero, or our own presidents — there is very little mercy delivered from such bestial thrones. They cannot do otherwise; for they are all but flesh themselves. Surely, whether knowing or not, they all have been responsible for contributing to the demise of America.

This dark cloud, however, is not all bad, at least not as seen in God’s plan of things. All these hard circumstances imposed upon the people make a way for the Treasures reserved in Darkness to come forth! Such rule is certainly caustic; but this should be no horrible matter to you and me. Remember? It is one of those things decreed by the Watchers, and although it was by their holy demand, it is void of holy mercy. For instance, Jesus prophesied/decreed that He would come (in the form of Titus and his army) and destroy Jerusalem and the Temple, and there was no mercy there either. So let us not think that God’s decrees always establish beds filled with soft feather down.

The powers that be have swept away many today by their smooth talk of unrealistic promises. Frankly, it is impossible for them to minister mercy upon anyone but themselves; for mercy and truth is contrary to the nature of serpents. Our souls weep, of course, that such a merciless regime is raining a deluge upon this great nation; yet the stage has been set by a higher power, and we should and we will say. so be it until...

It is a decreed scenario that must run its course, and it will. It will continue until there is a godly sorrow that works repentance unto salvation sweeping over the land. Until then, there will be no deliverance from this judgment! The word of the Lord has gone forth from the mouth of the Watchers, and it will not return void, but it will accomplish that which has been decreed, and prosper whereto it has been sent as we read in Isaiah 55:11.

This rebellious child of a nation cannot snatch the rod of judgment from God's hand. Neither by hook nor crook, judicial laws, congressional bills, nor executive orders will be effective. The word of demand has been decreed and it will be accomplished. Whether it is at the hands of these or others, the judgment will be very much the same with every move they make being a portion of their own judgment, for: Be sure to know, your sin will find you out, Numbers 32:23. And, Your own wickedness will correct you, Jeremiah 2:19. Truly, the Director has the final word in the matter, not the actors on the set.

Many are between two worlds — that of the Kingdom of God and that of man’s. On one hand they desire to enter God’s glorious Kingdom, the one that can only build up and satisfy the spiritual man, while on the other hand, it is man’s kingdom which pertains to and ministers to the natural man. Both kingdoms are vying for dominion, and the greater, of course, will win, and we won’t have to be told which is the greater; for it is clear that it is the everlasting one, the one by which the King of kings is in command. This Kingdom is the one wherein abides Life, the Life of the ages! Although God rules in the kingdoms of men, there has been nothing to match His glorious Kingdom. It is the one that affords every soul the life of the ages! It radiates with His life, par excellence! It will come to pass and be manifested in its full glory regardless of the unbelieving opposition:

"And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him." Daniel 7:27.

"For by (or in as the Greek has it) him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL things were created by in Him, and for Him." Colossians 1:16.

This verse is so clear that a child would not err therein; but many have missed that mark for centuries due to various factors. Even so, can we blame them? No, we should not do so; because God is the one who blinded their eyes so that they could not see: "...Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?" Exodus 4:11. And, "The LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day." Deuteronomy 29:4.

Therefore, since He not only creates thrones, dominions, principalities, and powers, He blinds those of His choosing from being able to see the simplest particle of His doing while opening wide the eyes and ears of His Prophets, His people, and especially His Watchers. In turn, whether audible or in the Spirit they shout His word together in agreement, in symphonic harmony throughout the world. By the power of their decrees, things are established. The prophets prophesy when they hear their Lion roar out of Zion, and the Watchers decree and establish those prophecies.

The morning stars, we are sure, were also in symphonic harmony when they sang together, as well as the sons of God when they shouted for joy as noted in Job 38:7. It was one voice, one accord, one cry of joyous exultation. We do not know if the morning stars singing together and the sons of God shouting for joy were merely overwhelmed reactions by what they saw, or if the sons’ shouts were decrees that were part of laying down the foundations of the earth.

Regardless, if our eyes happen to be open enough to see some of the light emitted from those words, I am sure we are shouting a little for joy about now, and if not now, hopefully, very shortly. We should at least be overwhelmed enough with astonishment and can join together in singing with the morning stars. And please know, such singing is not merely coming together in the same vicinity, such as with a group of people in the choir loft of their church. This singing together, yachad in the Hebrew, means to sing as a unit, as one, with one voice. The Hebrew word is the equivalent to the Greek word sumphoneo in Matthew 18:19 where it speaks of people being in agreement: “I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.”

This verse has been used for generations by well-meaning people attempting to get what they wanted without any regard to what the Spirit was saying about it. They came together (bodily) with something they wanted, and the plan was laid out. Their wants were told to one or two others, an entire congregation, or to untold thousands on worldwide prayer chains. And please take note, I appreciate prayer chains, especially if I am the one in need of prayer. Nevertheless, we have misused the very words of Jesus, saying, "If two of you shall agree...as touching anything that you shall ask, it shall be done for them."

From experience we all surely know that sometimes it is done and sometimes it is not. Brethren, there is something wrong with this picture. Either Jesus was telling the truth, or He missed the mark (sinned) by misunderstanding the principle of prayer, or He was lying. If He was telling the truth, as carnal minds perceive this verse, every single time two or more people set their minds to "agree" on a certain matter, God would have to honor their agreement. If not, Jesus would be made a sinner by missing the mark of what God would really do, or He was lying. But we know this is impossible; for as it is with His Father, and ours, He can neither sin nor lie (ref. 1 John 3:9 & Titus 1:2).

This verse has nothing whatsoever to do with two or three making a pact to agree on anything; but it has everything to do with being in union with the Spirit of Christ, and rising in symphonic harmony to meet that which is already finished in the heavens. The Greek word for agree is sumphoneo and means to be in harmony. It is derived from sun and phoneo. Sun refers to being in complete union with another entity. In this case it is phoneo from where our English phone is derived and means voice or sound. Symphony is the transliteration of sumphoneo. A symphony is composed of various types of people and instruments, whereby all the variation rise in the same spirit to produce one sound, one voice of beautiful harmony. And as it is in the body of Christ, each class of instrument is strategically placed in the various regions of the orchestra for their greatest potential to be drawn. Although the entire orchestra produces one sound, not every instrument is always sounding at the same time. There are occasions when only one instrument is being voiced, such as violin or a trumpet. During such times as this, the silence of all the others is just as important as the one being played. Everyone and every instrument fit perfectly in the whole as the members either sound their instruments on cue or keep silent. That is what it is to agree on earth as touching anything whether it is two or three members of the body of Christ, or the whole body sounding together as *ONE VOICE!

*Margit wrote an excellent article that compliments this thought, The Song of The Lord, free upon request or online at: www.godfire.net/song.html

As it is with any orchestra, at hearing the first sounds, or noise, when the musicians are doing the final tuning of their instruments, one might wonder if anything good could come from such an unorganized crowd of people. And it has been the same with the symphony of the Lord’s body; but I believe the time has come for the stage’s Light to be turned on and time for the members of the Conductor’s body to take their places and anxiously wait for His baton to slice the air to initiate the grandest symphonic display the world has ever known. What a decree from the Watchers that will bring forth the manifestation of the glory of the sons of God who will bring deliverance to the lost, the downtrodden, the outcast, the wounded, the forsaken, and to all others who hurt!

The entire house will be filled with the glory of the Lord that streams from each vessel. Now that, my friends, is what it is to agree. It is the Lord’s symphony with Him as the Conductor. That is the song of the stars with which we sang in harmonic agreement. A symphony of rapturous praise by the Spirit from seeing the foundation of the earth being rolled out like a scroll. Such a glorious view of God’s creation, from beginning to end that filled every son of God with a joyous, ear-splitting shout, and it is time to sing and shout again and establish the Kingdom of God at the end of this old era to begin the new!

We know of two people who were witnesses to all of this; but they did not live to see it unfold. One was our first grandson who died at the young age of nineteen, and the other was the daughter of a sister from Mississippi we met in a home meeting near Stanton, Tennessee. Her daughter, as it was with our grandson, also died young. She, like it was for Christopher, saw all there was to know about God, Jesus Christ, and everyone who ever was, is, or ever will be. They both saw and understood every thing there was to know about mankind, including every individual. They were in awe at knowing all things from the beginning to the end and everything before the foundation of the world and everything afterwards. They both said that they knew that they could not possibly know anything like this, but they did at that time. For several minutes, they both saw it all and understood everything while they peered into the eyes of Jesus who had appeared to them. The final Word that resounded so assuredly to them was — "ALL IS WELL!"

I believe these two precious ones were living on the brink between life and death, between this side of the river and the other side, and during one of those times when they drew nearer to those celestial shores than to the shores of the world, they saw in and by Christ Jesus all things clearly. To think that we are still concerned about who our president is, whether it is for better or for worse.

Some might think I am either for or against our current president, and perhaps in the natural due to observation and knowing a few things, I may lean in one direction more than the other; but in the Spirit, it matters not one wit whether the president is male or female, black or white, brown or yellow, shades between them all, albino, or pink. Such trifles are not an issue. Period! People do not think with their skin. They may think certain ways due to how they were treated because of their skin. Or they may have never been mistreated; but their family, friends, and mentors may have told them all their lives how they are hated by everyone else, and that because of their heritage, they will never prosper in the world. The way people think and do things are what needs to be weighed in the balance of one's personal qualities and especially presidential qualities, and not their physical appearance. We have friends of varied races who we would place our lives and all we own in their hands and never give it a second thought. We also know people of varied races who we wouldn’t entrust a goldfish to their care. Skin tones do not make people think good or bad; but I can tell you this — Jesus Christ is a factor that causes all who are born of His Spirit to think and do as He thinks and does.

In the carnal makeup of my being, I care whether a president and his oligarchy have designs of bringing the people of the nation under their totalitarian rule, and it is apparent that most of them have embraced that agenda. And do we think the past several who sat in the oval office were any different? We think not; for they all worked according to the whims of the carnal man. And to be reminded, their whims, ideologies, and dictates have been decreed by the Watchers.

Don’t be shocked; but such things as this happen when it is commanded for a nation to be judged. Even so, we may want to take the rod of correction from the hand of our Father when we see our brothers and sisters flayed to an inch of the their lives; but all efforts and pleas fall on deaf ears. He will hear none of it! In the year of 1961 the Watchers decreed from the visions they had that this nation would be severely judged, and judgment began that year. It has continued since, and no one has been able to reverse it.

When we understand it is by God’s hand that the government’s mind-set is to undermine the Constitution, to enslave the people, to pit ethnic groups against one another, spend the country into bankruptcy, and then rebuild it into a Socialistic nation ruled by an “elite” few, are we to endorse God’s judgment by doing everything we can to support the destruction of the nation? God forbid! By no means should we ever vote to retain or elect men and women who support the killing of more than 60 million babies since 1973 by abortion. Nor should we endorse that which God calls an abomination. Let God control the population if there is a need, not the half-witted demagogues of the world order. We should, however, minister life and deliverance to those who are party to such atrocities. Likewise, to endorse homosexuality as a God sanctioned lifestyle would be no different than endorsing prostitution, adultery, or unrestrained sex. The mystery is that, many people see nothing wrong with any of them, while some feel that sex outside of marriage is ok, but not homosexuality. Can we not see that they are all fruits from the same tree of carnal lust? They are generated by sexual emotions and desire. The only difference between the two types of sex is that one is natural and the other is not and goes against nature; but both render similar results — physical, endocrine, and emotional satisfaction!

Therefore, just because we know that God is judging this nation by the works of amoral people and base politicians, we cannot support such people nor their actions. For instance, we could never see a child being molested and turn a blind eye to the horrific act and say, "Well, it is God’s judgment on the nation." Never, not in a million years could we do so, nor could we give credence to it! Even at the risk of our own life, we would put a stop to it if at all possible. Also, if we could go back in time with the understanding that the horrific death of Jesus was necessary to be part of the salvation of all, and we knew it was a decree from on high, we could never endorse it or be a part of it.

Therefore, when we see God’s judgment being levied upon the people of this country, we neither attempt to usurp His authority and take the rod from His hand, nor do we plead with Him to let the nation go without being disciplined. Neither do we take the self-righteous approach by gathering around like cheerleaders encouraging Him on. However, as the Watchers, when the time comes, we will say to the rods of correction to cease, and they will obey! The powers will be removed and replaced with others of God’s choosing.

The Watchers will not prophesy that it will take place, someday, but decree it to be, and it will be established in short order!

Their decree is from the throne of God, and when it is thundered, things happen, and it does not take a thousand years, or a hundreds years for it to be seen! Moreover, when the Watchers decree, they don’t have to put out a fleece to see if it is of God or not. They don’t have to test the waters. They don’t have to step out on a limb in blind faith and say, "Thus saith the Lord." No, not at all! For they speak from the Throne’s powerhouse of authority and dominion! The watchers do not have to fast for their decrees, they are not prayed up or worked up, or given to premeditation. When the time comes, without hesitation, forethought, or wavering whatsoever — they demand things to be, and they are established. Frankly, if they didn’t sound the decrees when it was time, I believe they would explode from the build up of power from within. Some of you have had a foretaste of this and can relate to what I am saying.

There was a season when the spirit of prophecy flowed like mighty rivers but the time has come for prophecies to cease. Even though they had related to us what wonderful things would come to be, which gave us hope, the time has come for the Watchers to bring it all to pass. It is like an executive order that has been sealed until an appointed hour, and once that hour arrives, whoever is authorized to do so breaks the seal. The order is made known to the Watchers who decree and establish that which had been prophesied. A decree can also be made that has never been prophesied. It can be a word in due season and for the occasion as the Lord conveys His word to His Watchers.

Some may draft patterns as to how the Watchers work; but the holy commanders pay no attention to any of man's presumptive imaginations. They simply demand and establish things from the Throne; for being one mind with their King, they go about His business and bring forth whatever His plan might be at any given moment whether it is time for prophecies to be fulfilled or it is a new thing. Moreover, until our natural minds are totally renewed, some of our Father’s doings might not be that which we would choose or even think could be something He would be a part of. One thing comes to mind that a few surely disagree with His choice of our current president, or the previous ones. Even so, it, indeed, was His choice, and He then passed it on to His Watchers in the form of a decree to make sure it happened. We might ought to get used to these High Court orders; for when they are given to us, we will demand that they are fulfilled whether our natural minds like it or not; for when the Lion roars from the heights of Zion, how can we do other than to decree His word?

It is still hard for some to grasp that many matters are by the decree of the Watchers, and those decrees are demands as holy ones, and this is so the world may know that the most High rules in the kingdom of men. And also that God gives it to whomsoever He will! And He sets up over nations the basest of men. Daniel 4:17.

As for base men, and women, there have been a plethora of presidents, governors, U.S. and State officials who can be identified as being self-serving, self-aggrandizing, self-indulging narcissist, egotistical, proud, deceitful, vindictive, heartless, unremorseful, lying hypocrites of the worst kind. Do you now understand what Daniel was saying? How much more base can they be? It is almost unimaginable; but it was God who set them in those positions of power by the decree of His Watchers. Either it was this way, or the prophet was lying, and we know this esteemed man was not a liar.

With only a slight insight of these things, we can see that it is not a deep mystery that there is no president who has ever had the solution to America's problems. Men, in fact, are the cause of the problems, all over the world, and there will never be a day when we can trust in horses and chariots for our deliverance from man's crippling grip. Regardless of gender, there is no one, nor many intellects combined, or political parties, or organizations that can rid us of wickedness, wars, poverty, and tyranny. Neither philosophies, armies, nor man in general can avert this. Until the hearts of the people forsake their evil ways and turn whole-heartedly to the Lord, the downward spiral to total destruction will continue.

It will continue as it is with long maned African lions and their prey. Ruling governments and churches will have their prey; that is, citizens and congregations. They both convert and devour human souls. Once the people are converted, they are twofold more the child of hell than themselves, and strangely, those devoured seem to love it, and other than by the Spirit, to persuade them otherwise is futile.

Moreover, when the majority of members of the Republic become the children of the hellish system that has devoured them, the Republic is then no longer a Republic. If, however, the people are godly, the Republic will be as it was instituted. It will be one nation under God. At that time a democratic rule could be effective, because the majority of the people's rule would keep it as the framers of the Constitution intended – UNDER GOD!

So, let the lions of the world roar; for they have their numbered prey. Let the young lions roar in their dens; for they have taken their allotted kill. But now the Lord, the Lion of Judah is taking His prey — THIS NATION and THE WORLD — and the whole lump is in the jaws of His anointed, for His Watchers have sounding their decree. His holy ones have demanding it and so shall it be! But this is not the end of the matter; for the same Watchers will decree the demise of these old mangy lions. Can we not already hear their sounding command to end this reckless age? — "Thus far and no more!" Yes, I believe so!

Therefore, When the Lord GOD has spoken, what can the Watchers do but to DECREE REGIME CHANGES, TRANSFORM LIVES, HEAL THE SICK, Cast out devils (religiously and politically) RAISE THE DEAD, and SHED EVERLASTING LOVE FROM HE WHO IS LOVE? Thus — THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD!

Isn't He awe inspiring beyond measure and so mysteriously wonderful? Who can know Him? Perhaps ALL LIVING, don't you think? YES! For this is THE VICTOR'S PREDESTINED PLAN OF THE AGES!

WHAT A PRISTINE UNIVERSAL WIDE GOVERNMENT TO BEHOLD!!!
