Mike Bickle Warns of God's Judgment on America

Mike Bickle, the leader of the IHOP (International House of Prayer (www.IHOP.org)) in Kansas City, MO was awakened at 2am on 9/8/05 and saw an angel.

It is only the third time in thirty years this has happened to him and he is very cautious about overstating experiences. He saw the angel putting a silver trumpet up to it's lips, preparing to blow. The angel did not blow the trumpet. . Mike saw this three times in a row, identical each time. (See: Numbers 10). Mike went to the prayer room and the Lord began leading him to scriptures and unpacking some of the meaning of this visitation.

Bickle then began to teach what the Lord had shown him in the prayer room. He said that the Lord had decreed judgement on America. The judgement has not been released into action yet. Like an email that has been written but not yet sent. It's time for God's people to cry out for mercy for our land. It is a time for repentance.

New Orleans/Mississippi is a wake up call for our nation. Bickle said to call a sacred assembly and cry out to God for mercy for our land. Intercede and ask Him to lessen the decree of judgement. Corporate worship and prayer is our best offensive and defensive weapon.

Rick Ridings: America at the Crossroads in 1997

America at the Crossroads: Judgment or Full Revival?
A Prophecy Concerning America
Received by Rick Ridings
at 2:30 a.m., April 17, 1997



Tell America that My judgment has been pronounced upon it for the same root sins as Sodom: they were "arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy" (Ezek. 16:49). These root sins have resulted in such fruit sins as:

1. The sin of selling your youth as slaves to Babylon; caring only about yourselves and right now, and sacrificing their future to your present.

2. The sin of sacrificing the unborn to Molech upon the altars of convenience and greed.

3. The sin of prostitution: losing all sense of shame and loving immorality to the point of packaging it through your media, and making it one of your major national products. You have pumped it throughout the earth, almost like a water filtration plant that decided it would pump out sewage rather than clean water. You have determined to not only defile your own land, but to pollute and defile the rest of the earth with your abominable immorality.

4. The sin of greed: grinding the faces of the poor under the heels of your shoes, snuffing out their dim light as a man would snuff out a cigarette butt.

Tell America that because of such root sins and such fruit sins, judgment is coming as soon as they finish filling that bowl to the point of over-flowing, and it is very close to that point.

BUT, in My great compassion, I am giving one last chance to America to turn from her love for sin, and lack of the fear of the Lord. This last chance is in the form of a national revival and spiritual awakening.

If their turning is complete, there is the hope that I will relent of this judgment, for there is yet one thing in your favor: the spirit of generosity in a small remnant to give of themselves to take My gospel to the nations. If there is a true, wide-spread, and deep turning, allowing me to pull out roots, and not only fruits, I will relent of the judgment and destruction that I had planned for America.

But if the turning is partial, if the awakening is just to a state of drowsiness, only to turn over and go back to sleep again, to return like a dog to its vomit, then I must be consistent with My judgment pronounced upon Sodom, and allow the fire of war to cleanse the spirit of defilement from the land.

I sent revival in the late 1850's to give America the opportunity to totally turn from the same roots of pride, arrogance and greed, and the fruit sin of slavery. There was an awakening, but only to a state of drowsiness, not one allowing Me to go to the roots. Therefore, rather than that revival leading to the full turning that would have allowed Me to withhold the cup of judgment, it could only serve a lesser purpose: That revival strengthened the remnant to be able to stand as I , with a broken heart, poured out the overflowing cup of judgment in the fires of the Civil War.

Even now, as I pour out revival, if you are satisfied with only enough to fill your churches, and then turn over to go back into your comfortable sleep again; if you do not seek Me to reveal and pull out the deep and strong roots of evil, then, with great sorrow of heart, I will be forced to remove Your candlestick and send such economic disaster, that your remnant will no longer be the oil supply feeding the lamp of missions that they have been for so long. I have already raised up other candlesticks, and I will divert the oil of My resources to those that are awake to Me and My purposes at the end of the Age. I do not need America to accomplish My end-time purposes. I own the earth, and all of it's fullness, and I am fully able to resource My work.

If this revival does not lead to a full turning to Me and seeking Me to pull out the evil roots and heal the land, then, in great sorrow, I will be forced to allow the over-flowing bowl of judgment to be poured out in the fires of war in order to cleanse by fire the defilement of the land. But the partial revival will have served to strengthen the remnant to be able to stand during this awful baptism of fire.

But the land will be cleansed of its defilement by a fire far greater and more destructive than the flames of the Civil War. The land will no longer be able to export such floods of filth and defilement to the nations, but will be burnt over; and dark, heavy clouds will rest upon it in darkness and desolation, and it will be only a faint shadow of the great land it once was.

But I am the Almighty. I will resource My great work of bringing the knowledge of My glory to the ends of the earth, with or without America playing the major role I had offered to it. The choice is before her. The choice is before My church in America.

Therefore, seek Me while I may be found, and call upon Me while I am near.

New Orleans: Cleansed by God

Many may not agree, but I see the hand of God in what Katrina has done to New Orleans, to America and to the Church in America.

New Orleans

If I had any doubts about why God needed to judge New Orleans, it was soon drowned by the testimony of people who lived there that I talked to in the hotel we stayed in recently in Houston.

Fierce violence, widespread corruption, intense occult activity and gross immorality--New Orelans had feew rivals in the modeern world. One resident told me that the entire economy was built around Mardi Gras-one of the vilest public events in America each year that tens of thousands flock to from all over the world.

"New Orleans City Council President Oliver Thomas after witnessing the horrors first hand and hearing talk of Sodom and Gomorrah commented, "Maybe God's going to cleanse us."

"The Sept. 4 New York Daily News reported "Louisiana and New Orleans have a long, well-known reputation for corruption... Adjusted for population size, the state ranks third in the number of elected officials convicted of crimes (Mississippi is No. 1). Recent scandals include the conviction of 14 state judges and an FBI raid on the business and personal files of a Louisiana congressman." One former governor from the 1990's recently completed a prison term for tax fraud and the one that followed him, reports the Daily New, "is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for taking bribes from casino owners".

The Daily News goes on to note that in the 1990s the New Orleans Police Department "had the dubious distinction of being the nation's most corrupt police force and the least effective: the city had the highest murder rate in America. More than 50 officers were eventually convicted of crimes including murder, rape and robbery; two are currently on Death Row." (http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/sep/05090111.html)

God Warned New Orleans

Michael Brown, a Catholic ezine reporter, predicted this diaster in startling detail in 2001 on his website http://www.spiritdaily.org/New-world-order/neworleans.htm

Chuck Pierce prophesied on Aug 29th, 2004--one year to the day before Katrina

"How the Saul structure collapses will bring Baton Rouge again to national attention. That alignment within it will collapse. A new demonstration with a new blueprint will be seen. This will be known as a meeting house. This will be known as a place where the Ark of the Covenant has dwelt. This will be known as a refuge place. The WIND and WATER will rise in the midst of New Orleans. Many from the south will come north for refuge. Prepare. Prepare now for winds and water that will surprise you. I will renew the pattern not fully seen before. Worship will be here, and birthed in a new way from here. Prepare! Prepare! Prepare! Shift! Saul will be no more. David will arise from this day forward. The wind from the south will begin to blow. Watch for the effects. This will purify the land and bring great change."

Then in Alexandria that night Chuck shared from Song of Solomon 4:16 (Awake the north wind; come, o south wind. Blow upon the garden of this nation). He led the people to pray for the south wind to come. This south wind would be a purifying wind, cause corruption to be blown on and cause corruption to shake and initiate a righteous move starting with the children, then moving to the youth. We were to watch the government and the Catholic Church shake, and watch New Orleans change." http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=2459

David Wilkerson's 1985 Prophecy of God Judging America

The following is an excerpt from the beginning of David Wilkerson's 1985 book Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth. David Wilkerson heads World Challenge, Inc., P. O. Box 260, Lindale, TX 75771. His book is available at their website for $3.00. David writes:

"America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpectedly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America -- and this nation will be no more.

"America has sinned against the greatest light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backsliding, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption, its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.

In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, 'It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!' The Church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this message. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it"

"... Believe it or not, America is about to be shaken and set aside by swift and horrible judgments. Many other praying believers who have been shut in with God are hearing the very same message - 'Judgment is at the door! Prepare, awaken!'"

Later in the chapter-- an attack from Russia, and "The great holocaust follows an economic collapse in America. The enemy will make its move when we are weak and helpless... America will not Repent... God promised to preserve America only if it turned from its evil... This nation has not repented but has turned its back... I see Almighty God even now slowly turning His back on this nation."

1973 book, The Vision by David Wilkerson predicts Judgment on America

In 1973, Wilkerson published a book called The Vision that detailed his prophetic visions regarding the future of the United States. Wilkerson believed that God had revealed to him a great calamity which was going to befall America due to increase in sins such as homosexuality, sexual promiscuity, and greed.

Some of the details of this 1973 vision were: There is a coming worldwide economic confusion. It will strike Europe, Japan and the US, then all other nations. There are lean years ahead. There will be a move toward a worldwide, unified monetary system. (This was years before the Euro -- every European nation had its own system).

Floods, hurricanes and tornadoes will increase in frequency.

There will be a fall in moral conduct. Topless women will appear on television, followed by full nudity (something that had never been done in 1973) Adult, X rated movies will be shown on cable television.

There will be an acceptance of homosexuality, and the church will even say that it is a God-given gift. (Homosexuality was still studied under "abnormal psychology" by psychologists of 1973).

There will be a new drug that will be popular with teenagers that will break down resistance and will encourage sexual activity.

Homosexual and lesbian ministers will be ordained and this will be heralded as a new breed of pioneer.

There will be a spiritual awakening behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains.

He also predicted a nuclear bomb going off in New York City.

34 years later, many of his prophecies in this book have come true.
