Who Do You Believe?

I have some questions for you...
  • Are your eyes on the circumstances and what you hear on the news?
  • Have you asked God what He thinks?
  • Who do you believe?
Are you acting on what you believe?

Where is your hope?

I was encouraged by these prohecies brought through Kim Clement. I hope you wil be too.

Kim Clement: "There Will Be No Recession as PROPHESIED and PREDICTED...as Long as there are Warriors that Have Faith Unusual"

Prophesied on March 14, 2008 - San Jose, California

"No limitations." God says, "Why have you limited Me? Why have you placed veils and walls and said, 'This is as far as we can go'? Who told you that? Who told you that you've got the best that you've got? Today, I'm tearing a veil of limitation. I want you to come in.

" God says, "I'll take you to a far greater place than you've ever been before; I'll break the power of the persuasion of your enemy that's lied to you and told you, 'So far and no more.'"

God says, "Who told you that? Who told you that you can do no more than you're doing right now? I've broken something this year that's held you back, but somebody has to see it, somebody has to say it. Who told you that you've come so far and no further? I've broken the barrier, I've broken the persuasion of your enemy. I tell you run, run, run, run, run, for there is a greater dimension for you," says the Lord.

"Warriors, rise up," says the Spirit of God, "for I have desired of you. What I have prayed for has already opened up. Look no further, search no more. For I have searched for you, I have searched for a resting place. I have searched for a place where I can rest My head on the pillow of faith. I have searched for a place where I can put My feet on the sounds of praise. I have searched and I have found a people that would not hold back. For this is the year of triumph, this is the year of triumph; this is the year, for you will search no more. I have searched and I have found you. Now," says the Lord, "run, for the sound of abundance has now become the rain of abundance," says the Spirit of God.

There's No Loss in the Kingdom of God

Do you know what that means? It means you've been walking on ground for too long. God wants to give you a taste of the air; He wants to get you a taste of height. He wants to take you to the highest place you've ever been. Guess what? You've got to have a little bit of wind to get to a higher place. Kites don't fly "without" the wind; they don't fly "with" the wind; they fly "against" the wind. Who's ready to fly? No limitation; I've been persuaded I can fly.

The enemy has put up barriers and lies and persuaded you. Why are there always boundaries, why are there always laws, why does the enemy always come and restrict us? God's saying, "If you can just break beyond the veil of limitation, you'll see a place that you've never seen before." If we don't break it this year, the Church is not going to get to the place it's supposed to get. I've got a good feeling that the cloud of abundance that we've dreamed about has actually become the rain of abundance. Stop believing the persuasion that there's going to be a recession. Stop being persuaded that there's going to be a recession. Stop being persuaded that there's going to be something that's going to hold you back.


Everybody say, "No limitation at all. I've been persuaded by the Lord God Almighty that I can go to a higher place. I will fly, I will accomplish it. I will do what I didn't do last year. What was stolen from me--I will take a hold of. There is no loss in the Kingdom of God. Everything that was taken goes back to God, then He gives it back to me. When He gives it back to me, it's with one hundred fold."

God says, "There's something you've got to attain this year, and you know that you know you can do it." I have been persuaded that there are no limitations; the treasure chest has been opened up; the scroll has been opened. What stops you from accomplishing what you did not accomplish last year? What is stopping you from taking back from God's hand what the enemy stole from you? Say with me, "There is no loss, there is no loss. If it was taken from me, it was given back to God, because it all belongs to Him. He will give it back to me--and with so much more." Take it back, take it back.

Prophesied on February 16, 2008 - Detroit, Michigan

God says, "Let Me speak to Zimbabwe now." God said to me, "I want to bring judgment upon rulers of nations that have suppressed; caused genocides. I want to bring judgments." You say, "God doesn't do that." If He must, He will. If He has to send a king to eat hay for seven years--if He did it then, He can do it again. What I'm hearing is upon the ruler of that nation, "Dementia, dementia, complete and utter madness to where--removal, suddenly." You say, "Doesn't God want to save him?" Absolutely! God said, "I'm taking the families there. I'm going to protect them and I'll give them property; I'll give them freedom. Because of your prayers, I'll raise them from wheelchairs," says the Lord of Hosts.

The Spirit of God says, "There's a brand new realm of boldness that is coming to My people. No more shall there be fear. There is a boldness coming to you: a level and dimension of faith that will bring a boldness upon you; not only to come into My presence, but to stand before your enemy with boldness."

The Sound of Warriors

"Listen to the sound; listen to the sound, for," the Spirit of God says, "this sound that is coming is not a sound that I am acquainted with. The sound that I am hearing comes from a boldness, a prophetic insight from revelation; from understanding grace. The sound that I hear coming from the soil of Michigan is a sound that I am not acquainted with," says the Lord. "I am acquainted with many sounds that come from the earth that come as an aroma, but many times as a stench--a religious stench."

"I have waited for the sound of Daniel again. I have waited for the sound of David again; of Miriam again. 'I will sing unto the Lord for He has triumphed gloriously and mightily over my enemies.' I wish to hear the sound; I've been waiting for the sound of David; not the sound of David on the throne, but David in a cave in a mountain, declaring, 'My heart is fixed on God, my heart is bold, I will sing praises. Yes, I will sing praises.' That's the sound that I am waiting for."

"I've been waiting for the sound of those that were in captivity. I'm waiting for the sound of those who were taken captive. Was it not so in the days of David and in the days of the great saints that the Babylonians took them captive and they required of them a song? They said to them in Babylon, to the children of Zion, 'Sing us one of the songs of Zion.' They said these words: 'We cannot sing the Lord's song in a foreign land.'"

My God says to tell you, "You have been chosen to sing a song in a foreign land. You have been chosen to sing a song in a foreign land, for the song of the Lord and the declaration of God will not be captivated in the four walls of religiosity."

God said, "I am releasing this sound, the sound that I heard when Samson brought down the pillars, the sound that I heard when David brought down Goliath, the sound that I heard when Miriam sang a song of victory, the sound that I heard when Moses struck the rock, the sound that I heard over and over and over; that sound shall be released. That same sound that I heard on the day of Pentecost." God said, "That same sound will infiltrate the nations of this world, and I will rise up at the sound of the warriors," says the Lord. "I will rise up at the sound of the warriors."

"What I'm Doing is Taking Charge"

Men shall say, "We've waited for the miracles. We've waited for the miracles of Katherine Kuhlman; we waited for the miracles of yesterday." God says, "There are no miracles that will be captivated and taken from yesterday into today; only better, only greater. This is the year of unique miracles; this is the year of unusual miracles. This is the year where things that could not be brought to the fore, things that were not understood, shall suddenly be understood. There is a rapidity, a movement being raised up by dissatisfied saints."

God said, "Dissatisfied saints have pushed Me, and now I will manifest and bring times of refreshing, times of restoration. This shall be the year of unique and unusual manifestations. Watch out for them, look for them, for they shall come to you," says the Lord, "only by your perception. Let not the enemy blind your eyes, for those who are in this house, you have tapped into a sound that will release joy, celebration, boldness, and scare the hell out of the forces of darkness that have tried to intimidate you."

"My nation waits; 'Who shall be upon the throne? Who shall reside over the populace? Shall it be Democrat, shall it be Republican?'" God said, "This day I say to you, it matters not, for where are the conservatives?" God says, "Listen, the questions that you have shall not be answered by those that sit at the top. I'm going to shock this nation." "God, are You saying that You can take a donkey and speak through him?" "Yes, indeed."

"What about the authority that is given in the White House, men are praying?" "Men have prayed, but not in vain. My ways are not your ways. My thoughts are not your thoughts. Yet My thoughts you will understand; sometimes men who know too much about Me, know too much about Me, therefore they cannot allow Me to do what I want. Let Me take that which seems ridiculous, crazy, and show you how I can put a hook in a mouth and do exactly what I want. Rejoice, rejoice for it is not your political power now, but the sound that is being raised up from those who are about to tap into a new dimension of spirituality."

"Young men and young women shall rise up in the next four years and come to the knowledge of the truth; like Daniel did, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did. They shall go into the power, the force, the capital, the White House and shall make a difference." God said, "No recession, no recession. I'll raise up this country and make it great again," says the Lord.

"Do not say, 'We shall not have a man who is colored in his skin; we shall not have a man who thinks like us.' I put Saul in command and look what he did. He was right, he looked good, he was head and shoulders above everyone else, and yet look what he did to My priests." God says, "Do not always say we need a Christian in power." The Spirit of God says, "This may be a dangerous thing, for there is a Saul that I've prevented from coming into the White House." Listen to what the Spirit is saying, "I have prevented a Saul in the White House--you think and work it out as you want."

God said, "What I'm doing is I'm taking charge. I'm taking charge Myself. When I do what I'm going to do, you shall look back and say, 'This is the way I know God; He can turn things around in one day.' So it shall be in one day I'll turn it around," says the Lord.

God told me this is going to be the most unusual election and the most unusual reign. "When you prophesy, there will be unique miracles and unusual manifestations that have never taken place. Watch how I work this out. America, you have been set aside once again to pioneer a sound to the nations of the world." The religious rhetoric and the religious nonsense will be taken care of by what God calls the impossible thing. Watch Him work it out.

February 15, 2008 - Detroit, Michigan


Get back, people, get back to it. God says, "I'll give you a double portion and a kingly anointing to deal with the same thing that chased you away in fear. America the great." The Spirit of God says, "So many people have asked the question, 'Where do we go from here? What is happening to our country?' Forget that now; I'm sorting your country out. It is the salt of the earth and it is the light of the world."

The Spirit of God says, "People will say, 'It's taking too long.' There are swift changes that will happen and bring delight to My people. Watch for the cloud, watch for the cloud, it is already here. Most of you haven't seen it," but God says, "Look now through the eyes of holy people and you will see it. I will bring a rain, a rain upon this nation for you and your families and your businesses, so that you will prosper. You will not walk; you will run," says the Lord. "You will have strength to go on to the next place and obtain your testimony today," says the Spirit of God.

God says, "What are they saying about a recession? What is this they are speaking about, this recession? They pinpoint Michigan, calling you one of the worst cities in America." God said, "I defy that through the mouths of the prophets. There will be no recession as prophesied and predicted. As I told you before, the Kingdom of God is not moved by the wealth of men, but the Kingdom of God is intricately woven into one thing and one thing only--the faith of men, the faith of women. I'm looking for faith; I'm looking for unusual faith. I'm looking for a faith that will turn the tide and stop the prognosticators, and that which they say will not happen as long as there are warriors that have faith unusual."

The Spirit of God says, "Once again, the city of light has allowed My prophet to prophesy. From this region they have degraded you; they have said you are nothing. Not according to the strokes given and written by the Lord's pen, Himself." God says, "Hear Me. Hear Me, O Michigan. You are about to have God's signature."

What are you afraid of?

Joni Ames is a woman of God who walks by faith. I hope her poem blesses you as much as it blessed me.



WHY ARE YOU AFRAID?
by Joni Ames

You've been through worse than this before
So why are you afraid?
There's not a thing above My Love
That anyone has made

My love for you is strong and true
And it will never die
I died to make sure of that fact
For I would never lie

I say, "ALL things are possible"
Do you not know that's true?
I say there's nothing that means more
Than what I say of you!

Who told you, "You are naked now?"
Who told you, "You will loose?"
Who told you, "You don't have a prayer?"
Who caused for you these blues?

The desert that you're walking in
Will soon come to an end
And you will find me waiting there -
For I am your Best Friend!

Upon My Arm, I'll lead you out
For you can lean on Me
And I will show to you the path
On which you need to be

So do not fear or worry now
As I lift up your head
My glory covers everything
You've nothing you need dread

The enemy has lied to you
To try to make you stop
Don't let his lies discourage you
For I've called you on top

Come on up here, and watch with Me
You'll see My Glory fall
And as it does, there's victory
For My Love won it all

Hold tightly to My Hand today
As I hold tight to you
Remember I Am on your side
And what I say is true!

See that sword above your head?
Now grab in your hand
For with it battles will be won
And I'll redeem your land

What once was held above your head
Is yours for victory
To testify of My Great Love
And how I set you free

Don't be afraid, or in despair
Rejoice in Me, Rejoice!
For this day I've begotten you
And given back your voice

Use your voice, and shout for joy
And hear these words I say
For I'm the one who changes things
And brings a brand new day

Take off the old, put on the new
Do not look at the past
Behold, all things are new for you
With peace and joy to last!
