A Gateway to Heaven’s Secrets is Now Open

Have you ever wished you could sit down at a table, face-to-face with Jesus, and ask him sincere questions? Business matters? Relationship challenges? Spiritual questions? Guidance for your future?

There is a way for you to access the prophetic realm of God’s Invisible Kingdom and get His answers with clarity.

God invites you now:

Jeremiah 33:3 MSG
‘Call to me and I will answer you. I’ll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own.’

James 1:5 AMP
If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.

1 Corinthians 14:31
For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

Ron and Jennifer Eivaz are celebrating 25 years as pastors of Harvest Church in Turlock, CA. They have invited me several times to minister in conferences at Harvest and I have been in awe at how God has grown their ministry as they minister to thousands through church plants, podcasting, videos, audio, and personal ministry around the globe.

These two ORU grads would make Oral proud. (By the way, one of Mary Jo’s favorite podcasts as we travel is Take Ten with Jen – A Supernatural Podcast.) You can download it on the Charisma Podcast Network.

One of the first times I was ministering in California my intercessors (who travel with me) attended Jennifer’s “Seers’ Institute.” It sounded weird to me, although I never criticized it. Seers? Soon my eyes were opened when I saw the results through my intercessors.

COMMUNITY CHURCH MIRACLE

I was invited to speak at an old community church near Detroit. My intercessors were all there engaging the prophetic realm on my behalf. When I gave the invitation for people to come to Jesus, nearly the whole church came forward. I thought I hadn’t made myself clear, so again I told the congregation that this was a salvation altar call. Nobody moved away. They all wanted to invite Christ into their lives. That was the beginning of a prophetic revival in that church.

My intercessors gave me special “words” before every service no matter where I was ministering, and invariably things happened exactly as they prophesied.

LOS ANGELES MIRACLE

I was speaking at the famous Angelus Temple in Los Angeles and was particularly nervous. My prophetic intercessors were there praying at the church, but I was in my downtown hotel room suffering from a scared feeling for that I couldn’t understand.

I prayed and thought the Lord spoke to me and said, “Call Jack Van Impe and he’ll pray for you.” I thought, “No, I never want to be a bother or abuse the privilege of having his private number.” But the thought would not leave me. Finally, I called Jack and Rexella’s home. Dr. Jack was extremely gracious. He told me that he too would get scared sometimes. Rexella hopped on the phone and they both prayed for me. Then Rexella began to prophesy to me. “Dave, the Lord is with you, and tonight will be one of the greatest victories that church has ever known. You will do fine and Jesus will get the glory.”

COURAGE BEGAN POURING IN FROM HEAVEN

It was like courage began pouring in from heaven. Those words really were prophetic and comforting. My driver arrived to take me to Angelus Temple. He led me through the private entrance and hallway to the green room where I met with Pastors Tommy and Matthew Barnett. We marched out into the massive auditorium. The place was packed. I preached, remembering Rexella’s prophetic words and Jack’s gracious prayer.

Then I “threw out the net” inviting souls to come to Jesus Christ. A hundred people walked forward, then another hundred. I then announced, “This is my last call.” Suddenly, another hundred got out of their seats and pushed toward the front. (The church workers always counted the number of salvations).

OVER 300 SOULS PUSH FORWARD TO MEET JESUS

We prayed the prayer of salvation and scores of souls were crying and smiling at the same time. The relief of sin and shame being gone was evident on hundreds of faces that night. One of the leaders grabbed me afterward, put his arm around me, and whispered, “I believe that’s the biggest altar call we’ve ever seen here.”

BE A VOICE FOR GOD

It was a prophetic team working together to be a voice for God in a hurting world. Jack prayed, Rexella prophesied, My prophetic intercessors engaged the realms of heaven on behalf of the lost, and…All I did was preach the Gospel… and God gave the miracle results.

MIRACLE RESULTS FOR YOU TOO!

You can get miracle results, too, when you engage the prophetic realm and put your ear to God’s voice today. I learned several things from Ron and Jen Eivaz fifteen years ago, and now my team and I are training God’s people to not just understand Bible prophecy but to engage God’s Kingdom promises and issue genuine prophetic words of encouragement that will come to pass in faith.

What are Strongholds?

Have you ever asked yourself why do bad things keep repeating themselves in my Life? Have you ever asked yourself why do I do the things that I do? Why can’t I get victory over certain challenges and habits in my Life?

For many years I assumed that strongholds were built up by demons, and because I believed this I always prayed against demonic strongholds. But I received a life-changing Revelation from the Lord, through his Word, and through his Spirit that gave me the truth about strongholds.

How are strongholds erected?

It’s we ourselves who create and allow strongholds in our lives and these strongholds provide hiding places for demons to manipulate our lives, our health, our wealth, and our future.

There are four big areas of toxic seed opportunities:

Generational and/or environmentalCounterfeit (ungodly or twisted beliefs)Wounded emotions: we use strongholds to prevent further pain, thus making them even stronger and more complex, like a growing cityDemonic oppression and involvement

When we came to Jesus Christ and were born again, false beliefs and ideas were not automatically eliminated.

Strongholds are cemented with:

Thoughts contrary to truthArgumentsTheoriesReasoningImaginations (lies and falsehoods)Proud and lofty thingsPurposes contrary to truth (deception)

Everything begins with a seed. Seeds produce roots. Roots make up the footings (the under structure) for a stronghold’s foundation. Roots produce fruit…after time.

Roots become the pilings; the footings, for the stronghold’s foundation. Brick by brick the stronghold is erected, and cemented together and reinforced with lies, falsehoods, and erroneous beliefs.

John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

But the good news is that God has great goals for us! He wants healed and free people, marriages, families, churches, communities, territories, and cultures. Total freedom is authority from the Kingdom to change twisted culture.

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. [Greek: a past event with progressive effects; not completed effects].

Strongholds cannot be managed. They must be dismantled and demolished. We carry a piece of eternity here on earth, called the Bible. We enjoy a presence of eternity on the earth: the Holy Spirit.

Strongholds must be demolished

When you declare war against the strongholds in your Life you’re going to see a dramatic effect on your relationships, your success, your finances, and your future.

God’s Goals:

Healed and free peopleHealed and free marriages, families, and churchesHealed and free communities, territories, and cultures

Total freedom, authority from the Kingdom and in the Kingdom to change twisted culture

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  [Greek: a past event with progressive effects; not completed effects].

How You Can Benefit Through the Laying on of Hands

The laying on of hands, by definition, is an action in which one person of faith places his hands on another person to transmit, transfer, or impart something into the receiving person. The doctrine of laying on of hands is found in both the Old and New Testaments.

There are multiple benefits God intended to bring to you through this often overlooked divinely appointed practice. Some Christian churches rarely, if ever, practice the laying on of hands. Yet the benefits of this ministry called “laying on of hands” are incredibly important and valuable to the believing people.

1 Timothy 4:14
Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Hebrews 6:2
Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

In the Old Testament, this practice was used to symbolically transfer sins. The people would place their hands on the priest, thus signifying the transfer of their sins to the priest. The priest would then lay his hands upon an animal’s head, signifying the transfer of all sins into that animal. The animal would then be slain as a sacrifice to make atonement. (Exodus 29:10; Leviticus 3:2; Leviticus 4:15; Numbers 8:12)

In the New Testament, Jesus became both the priest and the sacrifice. Our sins were imputed to His body while He hung on the cross. Somehow, supernaturally, all of our sins were sent back into time and placed upon Jesus, and all of His righteousness was sent forward into time and placed upon us. It happened miraculously when we truly repented of our sins and expressed faith in Jesus Christ. (II Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 3:13; Ephesians 2:8-9; Philippians 3:9)

PURPOSES FOR THE LAYING ON OF HANDS

Let’s look at some of the benefits you can receive through the laying on of hands.

We find in both the Old and New Testaments the practice of laying on hands for the impartation of blessings. (Genesis 48:14; Genesis 48:20: Hebrews 11:21)

What exactly does it mean to have a blessing imparted unto you? In the Hebrew language, it means a “benefit” or “advantage,” which may not be visible to the physical eye, but will become obvious in some way or another.

The first time I ever had hands laid upon me. I received a special benefit. Prior to the laying on of hands, I could barely remember where I parked my car half the time but afterward found that I could remember things much better, especially Scripture. I had a special advantage imparted unto me. People actually thought I had received a “photographic memory.” Of course, I did not, but I did somehow receive an unusual new ability to remember things more clearly than ever before.

I remember having fellowship with a brother who belonged to a particular church, one that did not believe in the laying on of hands. Consequently, my friend had never experienced this. Well, somehow, I could always remember where the right Scriptures were when we discussed the Bible. He had been a Christian for several years and I had been saved for less than a year. He would get so frustrated because, as intelligent as he was, he often had difficulty remembering where certain Scriptures were. Then I’d tell him where to look, and sure enough, he found them.

Now, I didn’t flaunt this special advantage. It’s just something I had received freely from God through the laying on of hands.

I believe that’s why mothers brought their children to Jesus, desiring Him to lay His hands on them. These parents wanted their children to have a special advantage (blessing) in life.

Matt. 19:13-15
“Then were there brought unto Him little children, that He should put His hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And He laid His hands on them and departed thence.”

Mark 10:16
“And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.”

Do you know what this means when it says Jesus blessed them? It means, through the laying on of hands, Jesus invoked a blessing (an advantage; a benefit) upon those youngsters that would cause them to succeed in every area of life! Now that’s a precious gift.

Parents, do you want your children to have a special advantage in life? Do you want your children to have a blessing that will cause them to succeed in life? Of course, you do. Then let me ask you this question. Have you had your children dedicated to the Lord, where the elders of the church lay hands on them, asking God to impart a blessing, a benefit, and an advantage unto these little ones?

Matthew 19:13-15 (MSG)
One day children were brought to Jesus in the hope that he would lay hands on them and pray over them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus intervened: “Let the children alone, don’t prevent them from coming to me. God’s kingdom is made up of people like these.” After laying hands on them, he left.

We have taken this practice of child dedication so lightly, forgetting the real reason we lay hands on the children and dedicate them to Jesus. Child dedication is a solemn time of not only dedicating these precious ones to Jesus but a time of the laying on of hands with the intent of imparting blessings into these cherished little lives. What an honor, to be a Christian parent with the privilege of dedicating your children to the Lord, and having a unique blessing invoked upon them. This is really one of the primary objectives of the laying on of hands: to impart blessings!

What’s the Future for The USA?

Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord 

We all wonder at times, ‘What will happen to the United States in the days ahead?’ Are there biblical prophecies about America? Why does America seem absent in the pages of the Bible? How can it be that our country, once the wealthiest, most evangelistic, most generous, and most powerful nation in all of history, plays no discernable role in the dominant prophetic events of this age?

Other nations, like Russia, parts of Asia, and Europe, are named and identified by their historical regions, but the United States is not mentioned – at least not directly. Through the lens of Bible prophecy, the U.S. is conspicuously missing from the geopolitical scene.

Crossing Every Boundary

In recent years, the United States has crossed every boundary that brought the demise of other nations. We will never be able to say the prophets did not warn us. I recently heard Messianic Jewish Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, author of The Mystery of the Shemitah say on a radio program, “America is now overripe for God’s judgment.”

Rabbi Cahn continued, “It’s time if you’re not born again, to become born again. If you are a Christian, it’s time to get the things out of your life that are not in God’s will and get the things into your life that are God’s will.”

John 3:3
…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

A person or nation which does not turn away from wickedness can go too far, too long, and it becomes too late. Jeremiah warned Israel over and over again but they mocked him and ridiculed him. He tried interceding for them but God said, “No, it’s too late.” Israel would go into captivity in Babylon for seventy years due to their repeated disobedience.

Jeremiah 7:16-17
As for you, do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me, for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

Point of No Return?

Sometimes it IS too late to pray. We find this exact theme in the New Testament as Paul wrote to the Romans. There is a point of no return when God turns people over to a reprobate mind, lost without hope. (Romans 1:28-32)

Just as the Roman Empire experienced a decline and fall, America is following an eerily parallel path. It can be chilling as we witness firsthand the deterioration of an empire.

Our decline may take generations, as Rome’s did. Or it may happen suddenly due to a nuclear attack, EMP attack, financial collapse, or foreign invasion.

The Light Will Shine Brighter

But prophecy isn’t meant to frighten us; it’s meant to enlighten us and give us hope. No matter how dark it gets, Jesus promised to never leave us nor forsake us but to walk with us and work with us. As the darkness deepens, the light of Christ in us will grow brighter.

Titus 2:12-14
…we should live soberly, righteously, and in godliness in this present world, as we await the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify for Himself a special people, zealous of good works.

God never intended for us to walk in hopelessness. He intended for us to be people of faith, and faith is the substance of things we hope for. As ambassadors of Christ, God calls us as hope distributors in these last days.

Another Possibility—Good News

Yes, it’s possible that America may collapse under any or all of a hundred problems. But there is another possibility—a real hope—revival!

Now is the appointed time to gather for prayer and fasting for our beautiful country. When the Jews were in Babylonian exile and bondage, Daniel prayed and even repented for the sins of his country. The result? Shortly thereafter, they were released to return to their homeland and begin rebuilding. Let’s be part of the solution in Jesus’ Name!

Know Your Heavenly Father

Have you ever questioned the goodness of God?  

James 1:16-18
Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with who is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of the truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Do Not Err

When you really love someone, you don’t want them to fall into error. You want them to walk in the light, full of joy and peace. St. James, in this Scripture, is saying, “I love you. You are my beloved brothers and sisters, and I do not want you to fall into error or be deceived concerning the goodness of God, your Father.”

A Radical Concept

In the New Testament, Jesus introduced a radical new concept when He taught His disciples to refer to God as their “Father.” In the Old Testament, God was seldom referred to as “Father.” In fact, not more than seven times do we find the concept of God as a “Father” even suggested under the Old Covenant.  

Then Jesus Christ came along, and no less than seventy times directed people’s attention to God as a loving Father.  

The religious people accused Jesus of being a heretic, a false prophet, and in allegiance with Satan. One reason was probably because He taught about God being a good God, a benevolent Father. The religious hierarchy couldn’t accept the concept that God was personal and good.

The problem of not being able to accept the idea of God as a loving Father began with the first human beings.

Adam and Eve had fellowship with God. They chatted together. They had a terrific relationship. Then something happened. A great wall of separation was erected between God and His created children because they had disobeyed Him, causing them to take on a satanic-like nature, a nature of rebellion and disobedience. The man and woman then became alienated from God because they no longer had the same nature as God, one of holiness and purity. In a sense, they became enemies of the One who created them, loved them, and deeply cared for them.

When they disobeyed God, they not only lost their closeness with God, their fellowship with God, they lost their spiritual life, their powerful mental abilities, and eventually, they lost their physical lives!

Sin Robs Us of Everything Good

All this was because of sin and disobedience. Sin has a way of robbing us of everything good.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.  

But God, the giver of all good gifts, had a plan already formulated for bringing man back into a loving relationship with Himself. The plan included sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to come to earth, die on the cross, be raised from the dead, and become the only mediator between God and man. (Hebrews 12:24)

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

Now, when a person accepts Jesus Christ as his only hope of ever having a right relationship with God, that person becomes “born again.” He becomes a new creature.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things become new.

He is born into God’s family. The Bible teaches us that when we come to Christ, asking Him to give us a new life, we are actually translated from Satan’s family into God’s family. (Colossians 1:12-14)

John 3:3
…Except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Only by becoming “born again” can we come into this loving family relationship with God as our heavenly Father. Once we’ve been born into God’s family, we can once again walk with Him in the “cool of the day,” talk with Him on a one-to-one basis, heart to heart. We can have fellowship, friendship, and a real relationship.

Unfortunately, many people, even Christians, have a distorted image of God, the Father. Satan and his demons are the great proliferators of error concerning God, the Father.

Satan’s Role

Satan and his demons have only three devices: Temptation, Deception, Accusation.

In order to accomplish all three of these malignant plans, Satan has but to distort the image of the Father in your mind. It will then be easy to tempt, deceive, and accuse you. If he can pervert the image of God, the Father, in your thinking, he can accomplish his threefold goal in your life.

Since nobody has ever seen God, the Father, it’s easy for the devil to concoct his smear tactics against Him. But even in the Old Testament, we are taught the character of God by God Himself. 

Exodus 34:6-7 (NLT)
6 The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. 7 I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty.

You Were Not Born into a Religion

One of the errors we make is the mistake of viewing our relationship with the Father as merely a religious experience instead of an exciting family relationship. When you were born again, you were not born into a religion; you were born into a family, the family of God! God is now your Father, and you are a son or daughter. It’s so simple. Paul said,

2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ.

It’s so simple. It doesn’t take a great intellect or deep wisdom to be “born again” (although a person of great intellect or wisdom can be “born again”). Even a person who is mentally deficient can be “born again” because of the simplicity of the gospel.

By accepting Christ, you are translated out of Satan’s kingdom and born into God’s family. You may now look to God as your loving heavenly Father, and approach Him in a family manner, not a religious manner.  

ABC’s

If you don’t remember a time in your life when you were born again, you can do it now. Each of us must respond to God’s plan in order to gain entrance into that beautiful place called “heaven.” How must you respond to Jesus?

Admit that you’ve sinned and fallen short of God’s Standards.Believe what God said about your condition and the only solution (Jesus)Confess (Say out loud) “Jesus Christ is my Lord.” And tell someone else too.

Welcome to the family of God! I’d love to give you a free download of my book, The New Life…The Start of Something Wonderful! You can download it here.

End Time Trends Accelerate

We live in the very first generation to see all the end-time signs, markers and conditions now converging. No other generation has witnessed such a massive stage-setting time as this. The Antichrist “beast system” is now here waiting in the wings to be implemented, perhaps during the next global crisis. Jesus instructed His followers to look up when we see “these things,” for this generation will not pass before the fulfillment of “all these things” (Luke 21:28, 32)

ARE WE “THAT GENERATION?”

It sure looks like we are. The apocalyptic storm clouds foretold by the ancient biblical prophets are now manifesting at breakneck speed. There is a growing hunger in people’s hearts everywhere to know the future. My books Hope in the Last Days and Yoga Craze in the Last Days will walk you through the coming end events on the horizon. 

I want to help you prepare for what’s about to transpire on the earth. Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) said, “About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.”  Best known for his scientific thought, Newton was also an avid researcher of biblical apocalyptic prophecy.

It’s rare to hear a compelling church sermon on Bible prophecy these days. My prayer is that God will use these books to provide you with a clear understanding of the apocalyptic timeline and that you will, in turn, help others understand biblical prophecy. Global and dramatic events are on the horizon, and God’s people must be equipped, like the sons of Issachar to understand the times. (1 Chronicles 12:32)

THE PROPHECY PUZZLE

Prophecy is sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. You begin by getting all the pieces of the border in place before you begin connecting the other pieces. When you assemble the border first, it’s much easier, little-by-little, to find where the remaining pieces of the puzzle fit.  

My two books are designed to give you those borders and show you how close we are NOW to Christ’s Coming. 

Are you and your family ready for the next prophecy to be fulfilled? (I Thessalonians 4:13-18). 

Hope in the Last Days gives you a timeline for prophetic events that are surely coming fast. Yoga Craze in the Last Days reveals truth you never knew about the occult and practices of sorcery and idolatry that lead to a “collective delusion.” Some even believe that certain practices now allowed in some churches are actually “Luciferian initiations.” 

If you know someone who is practicing Yoga, you may want to get them a copy of this book.  No condemnation, just a clear warning from a loving God.

The post End Time Trends Accelerate appeared first on Dave Williams Ministries.

ARE YOU TRADING YOUR TRUE DESTINY FOR A SPIRITUAL COUNTERFEIT?

Peter warned believers:

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 

An increasing number of Christians today are unintentionally departing from the faith and casually doing the very things God hates. I’m talking about those who first tiptoe into the Yoga Cult, then dive in head first, thinking they are learning exercises and breathing techniques. It’s a real craze today; it’s vogue, a trend, a fad, just as it was in Germany right before Hitler (who incidentally stole his Nazi symbol from the Hindus).

No Condemnation

Yes, I believe yoga is a part of the great end-time deception, leading up to the acceptance of a demon-possessed leader known biblically as the “beast” or the “Antichrist.” I’m not condemning anyone, but I am issuing an urgent warning about the severe consequences of engaging in this spiritually risky and deceptive system. 

I’ve already been criticized, mocked, misunderstood, and “canceled” by some who think I’m being nit-picky or condemning. But I’m issuing a loving warning, not to condemn but to encourage believers in true, biblically prescribed worship of the Lord. Over the years, I’ve learned that whenever someone speaks for God’s honor, he’ll unusually be sarcastically belittled by those who think in a twisted way. It goes with the job description of the discerner. 

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears

Ludicrous Ignorant and Divisive?

When Pastor John Lindell lovingly warned his congregation about the dangers of yoga, people immediately hurled insults, calling his sermon “ludicrous,” “ignorant,” and “divisive.” 

Before you say I’m just uninformed; please read my 300+ citations from qualified, spiritually intelligent teachers and former Yoga instructors found in my book, Yoga Craze in the Last Days.

Isaiah, the prophet, saw what was coming to his people for their pagan practices and said, “Let me cry for my people as I watch them being destroyed.” (Isaiah 22:4b). I understand how the prophet felt.

Galatians 4:16-17 (TPT)
16 Have I really become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 17 Can’t you see what these false teachers are doing? They want to win you over so you will side with them. They want you divided from me so you will follow only them. Would you call that integrity?

I have listened to the heart-wrenching testimonies of those who suffered confusion, and demonic oppression after delving into yoga. I rejoiced when they turned to the real Jesus Christ, not the “guru”, but the Savior. Those who came to Christ immediately began warning others of the dark, nefarious, oppressive path on which others were embarking when they signed up for a yoga class.

I was Excited about Yoga…for a “Minute”

When I first heard about “Christian Yoga” I got excited, filled with the hope that Doug Addison’s prophecy saying that the next revival would bring in many “rainbow people,” referring to New Age people. I thought, “Wonderful! New Agers will be attracted to yoga.” I thought it would probably be good that some Christians were getting involved in this exercise that I thought was just breathing and stretching, mostly for women. 

I was Wrong–Really Wrong

I reasoned that they might be able to reach their New Age friends and associations. But I was wrong. Seriously wrong! In fact, I was deadly wrong. Let me explain.

Sorcery and Idolatry

When I started studying the history of yoga I was stunned, shocked, and horrified at what I learned. Immediately I wanted to start sounding the alarm of the potential lethal danger in this subtle practice of both sorcery and idolatry. I read many of the “Christian Yoga” books, blogs, and web pages and got my stomach in knots over what I discovered about this ancient practice.

Is Yoga Fake Exercise?

Now, I am embarrassed at how little I understood about the practice of yoga, its origins, it’s true intentions, and where it ultimately leads its victims. Correspondent Elspeth Reeve wrote in the Atlantic Monthly, “Yoga is the greatest fraud ever perpetuated against American women … Yoga is fake exercise.”

Before the COVID pandemic, I wrote a well-researched article about yoga. Just one. Apparently people were making copies and sharing them with friends. I started receiving notes of thanks from individuals who stopped their antiquated Yoga practice and went to other better, more modern exercise programs. Pastors, perceiving that I was some sort of a seasoned expert on the occult, were asking me to come and speak to their churches about yoga.

So, I wrote a “Position Paper” for our ministry (Strategic Global Mission) on the practice of yoga and offered it free to pastors. They wanted more, so I wrote a small book 24 Reasons to Avoid Yoga…if you are a Christian. Many thanked me. Others canceled me. 

Now after literally hundreds-upon-hundreds of hours of research, my comprehensive book on the Yoga Cult is about to be released. It’s called Yoga Craze in the Last Days. If you know anyone at all that is practicing this ancient practice, you’ll want to read this book. 

The foreword of my new book was written by Kirstin Baisch, a former Yoga instructor, who turned to Jesus Christ after encountering a grossly demonic attack. God supernaturally showed her a dramatic view of her destiny if she continued. 

Kirstin’s testimony is dramatic, heart-wrenching, and powerful. In fact I tell people, “The Foreword alone is worth the price of the book.” How can you even put a price on something powerful enough to rescue a lost soul or erring believer from a nefarious and vile cult? 

Let me give you a glimpse into a few of the topics we cover in this book. See if you know the answers:

Why those already in deception probably won’t read this book.Is yoga just a stretching exercise?Was Yoga Ever a Biblically Endorsed Practice for Christians?Are Yoga Poses Honoring to Demons?Does “Christian Yoga” Conjure up a ‘Counterfeit Holy Spirit?’What does yoga have to do with the coming Antichrist in the Last Days?Is it possible to connect with a demonic entity in Yoga and think it is God?Is Yoga a Part of the End-Time Occult Invasion?Can Yoga Veil Your True Destiny and Anointing?Did God Warn His people about Mixing Pagan Practices into their Faith?Can Yoga Actually Disrupt or Shipwreck a Person’s Faith?Is Hatha Yoga a Springboard into Deeper Levels of Deception?Recognizing New Age Yoga ‘Talking Points”Did Yoga Begin as a Sex Cult?Yoga slogans, half-truths and biblical misrepresentations Do Christian Yoga brands undermine the Nature of Jesus Christ?“Hatha Yoga – just the beginning of a devilish trap?”Which yoga teachers endorse “The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali?”How to recognize a subterfuge when you confront a deceived personFive missteps into fatal deceptionsYoga in the Third Reich – Germany’s yoga craze just before the HolocaustYou and Jesus will make a Great PartnershipHow to Come back to the Real God who Loves you

I think you’ll learn at least 25–50 things you didn’t know about yoga in Yoga Craze in the Last Days. You’ll hear from doctors and certified strength coaches. Find out if yoga is really a good exercise, or if it’s inferior. You’ll learn what yoga’s weird appeal really is. The book is available NOW I hope you’ll order and see how this perfectly follows the plan of the Antichrist. Soon, the Trumpet will sound.

PROPHETIC MARKERS SHOWING UP EVERYWHERE

“I will come again.” ~ Jesus Christ

It’s all happening now, just as the ancient Biblical prophets predicted. The global conditions are perfectly aligning. Prophetic warnings are now converging at breakneck speed.  

THE FINAL EVENTS OF THIS AGE

There is tremendous and uncanny interest in apocalyptic prophecy today as many see the stage being set for the final events of this Age. We want to know what the future will bring.

Seventy seven years ago, a group of scientists created ‘The Doomsday Clock’ as an indicator of the world’s ever-increasing vulnerability to catastrophe from nuclear wars, disruptive technologies, and weather patterns.” Midnight represents the apocalypse. The clock today sits at 100 seconds to midnight, meaning the world is ever inching toward potential doom.

Jimmy Evans, one of America’s top prophecy teachers, said, “I believe it’s more like 10 seconds to midnight!” And he gives good reasons why. The apocalyptic signs are blaring. The markers and stage-setting conditions are all in active play NOW.

Something dramatic, global, and irreversible lies just ahead. The stage is now set, and all the actors are in place, preparing to follow their script for what is about to transpire on the earth.

We are seeing dangerous planetary changes, large-scale uncontrolled migration, possible asteroid strikes, and the erosion of global society’s morals and ethics. Many scientists and economists believe we will soon hit a “point of no return.” One of the reasons the Roman Empire fell was unstrained migration.

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

The World Economic Forum recently met in Davos, Switzerland, for its annual summit to discuss and present ideas to ‘save the world.’ In fact, one slogan was “Find Salvation in Davos.” World elites flew into Davos in their private jets to discuss why people must reduce their carbon emissions. Imagine that.

They spoke of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and a “Global Reset.” Billie Crone, a prophecy expert from Nevada, said it sounds more like the “Fourth Reich than the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

UFOs?

The Pentagon and U.S. Government finally admitted there’s evidence for UFOs (now called UAPs – Unidentified Ariel Phenomena.) Military pilots have come forward, to tell the truth about seeing these UAPs. We believe these sightings are likely fallen angels who have penetrated the physical world like they did in Noah’s Day.

Genesis 6:4
There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Matthew 24:37
But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

L. A. Marzulli interviewed women who have gone on record about their “abductions.” They become temporarily paralyzed and taken somewhere to a lab with strange beings. Afterward, they were taken back to their homes … pregnant! In a few months, these beings returned to the women, and somehow, they were no longer pregnant. These beings allegedly took the babies from the mother’s wombs, and these women never saw them again. I know it sounds weird, but Jesus did say his coming would be like it was in the days of Noah. At that time, trans-humans existed (part human, part fallen angel). It may be happening today also.

Our generation is racing toward the hour spoken of by the ancient biblical prophets called “The Day of the Lord” or “the hour that shall try the entire Earth.” Even New Age leaders are predicting the rapid unfolding of “Earth’s Hour of Cleansing,” a time when those who are “not of Earth’s harmony” will be taken from this planet for intense New Age indoctrination before being allowed to return after seven years. Are they preparing the minds of their followers for what is about to transpire?  

In the Apocalypse (The Book of Revelation), we read about this global government coming and a global religious conglomerate. If the ‘Great Reset’ is realized, it would most certainly give rise to a one-world government, which the prophet Daniel saw as a terrible beast: 

Daniel 7:23

“As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces”. 

“The Great Reset,” as described on its own website, promotes globalist programs and controls, which would certainly be a major aspect of any one-world government. (Read Revelation 13 and 14)

APPROACHING ETERNITY

We are approaching eternity at a whirlwind velocity as the prophetic signs become more frequent and intense. Just ahead, the world will experience shocking events that will eclipse anything ever in history. Can we understand what all is coming to this world? Can we know in advance and prepare? Yes, if we understand God’s prophetic timeline and the signs God gave us to watch for in the Scriptures.

Prophecy is a gift from God, not to be ignored. What you believe about prophecy will affect how you live your life and how you prepare for the future.

SEALED PROPHECIES

After providing Daniel with a shocking prophetic overview of the last days the Angel Gabriel twice instructed him, “Go your way, Daniel. For these words are closed up (encrypted) and sealed (preserved) until the time of the end” (Daniel 12:4,9 parenthesis mine). The words “closed up” actually come from a Hebrew word meaning “encrypted” or “coded.” And the word “sealed” is much like a sealed canning jar used to preserve food.

God is now swiftly unsealing and decoding these prophecies as we approach the coming of Christ.

God meant for His people to understand the cryptic prophecies relating to the last days. For believers—committed followers of Jesus Christ—there is no fear; only an exciting hope promised by Jesus Himself, and confirmed by the Apostles Paul and John.

Luke 21:28
“When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near.”

John 14:1-3
1 “Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.
2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also.

Revelation 3:10 (MEV)
Because you have kept My word of patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation which shall come upon the entire world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

GOD IS CRYING OUT FOR SOULS TO COME TO JESUS NOW

Matthew 11:28 (MEV)
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Revelation 22:17
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let him who hears say, “Come.” Let him who is thirsty come. Let him who desires take the water of life freely.

Today the daily headlines are screaming, “It won’t be long now.” Something is going to happen that will shake the nations. That “something” will be sudden, dramatic, and irreversible. Are you and your loved ones ready?

YOUR SECRET WEAPON IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE

Recently I took my car into the shop for some maintenance. As I was leaving, I heard a voice from a radio coming from the dealer’s van. The man stepped out, so I asked him what he was listening to. He told me it was a sermon. So, we got to talking. He shared that he had encountered some physical problems that the doctors couldn’t help, but he found a book called The Miracle Results of Fasting and said it really helped him.  

I asked his name, and he told me. Then I said, “I’m Dave Williams, and I’m glad to meet you.” He about fell backward when I said my name and acted like he was overwhelmed that I was there with him. In reality, it was a blessing to learn that my book had really helped him.

Many churches begin the year with a season of fasting and prayer.

After my first fasting book was published in 1997, I went on Trinity national television in Canada for a week-long visit on a daily Christian program. The whole week we featured my fasting book, and I shared teaching and testimonies all week long. People kept the phone lines busy ordering the book. We sold 40,000 copies of the book in the first month and had to reprint it several times. Churches all over Canada and the United States started ordering the book by the box loads. Harrison House Publishers wanted to take over the book, so they published it, and it became their 13th best seller.

People worldwide are looking for something that can bring them miracle results.

Fasting costs you nothing, hurts no one, and can bring amazing blessings to your life. For example, fasting has been known to:

Bring deliverance from bad habits Prepare you for revelations from GodSet you up for quickly answered prayersBring you a constant and inexhaustible supply for your needsRejuvenate your health and vitalityGive you a longer life Give you loss of unwanted weightSlowdown the aging processEliminate body toxinsEliminate food allergy sourcesClear acne and other skin problemsDefeat sinus problemsNormalize your blood pressureKeep your arteries youngGive you healthier cholesterol & homocysteine levelsAssist in curing mental and emotional problemsGive you increased energy levelsBring your body into spiritual subjectionBreak demonic forces in your lifeBring deliverance from enemies too big for you

Psalm 35:13 NLT
… I denied myself by fasting

Luke 9:23
And he said to them all, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.”

I Corinthians 9:27 AMPL
But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].

What Fasting is NOTFasting from food is not dieting. It’s not a divine weight-loss plan.Fasting is not starvation.Fasts are not for getting others to say, “Wow, this is one holy dude.”Fasting is not for self-punishment. There were apocalyptic Jews of Jesus’ day who practiced extreme fasting in hopes of making themselves pure before the end-times arrived.Fasting is not to make you a burden to others. King Saul put his soldiers under oath of death not to eat, leaving them too weak to succeed.Fasting is not an excuse for being grouchy, stingy, or rude.

You don’t need to fast to be saved, at least not according to Scripture.Many millions of people live good and faithful Christian lives without ever fasting. But what rewards are they missing?

Two Men Miraculously Healed through Fasting and Intercessory Prayer

Pastor James Hamill of Memphis, Tennessee, had a bad report: “terminal cancer.” The church loved their pastor, so the board called the church to fast and pray. The miracle manifested, and Pastor Hamill went on for many years as a fruitful, powerful man of God.

Vernon Brewer of Liberty University got a bad report. Same thing. “Terminal Cancer.” The student body started times of fasting and prayer, and you guessed it Dr. Brewer was healed miraculously.

“Gateway to Spiritual Breakthrough”

Ronnie Floyd, a Baptist minister, fasted and prayed for his wife, who had a “terminal disease,” and she was healed. Pastor Ronnie says, “Fasting is the gateway to the supernatural.”

“The best of all medicines is resting and fasting” – Benjamin Franklin

Are You Facing an ‘Impossible’ Situation?

Gordon Lindsey, founder of Christ for the Nations, said, “Fasting is the key to the impossible.”

Dr. Bill Bright had this to say about fasting: “The Holy Spirit’s key to Transforming Your Life.” Fasting and prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual combinations on earth. 

True fasting brings humility and alignment with God. It breaks the power of flesh and demons. It kills unbelief and brings answers to prayer when nothing else works.

What Is Fasting?

Fasting is going without food to pursue or focus on something more important.

Through fasting and prayer, I am deliberately disrupting my schedule and declaring that knowing God is more important than food.

I Corinthians 9:27 AMPL
But [like a boxer] I buffet my body [handle it roughly, discipline it by hardships] and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit [not stand the test, be unapproved and rejected as a counterfeit].

PROPHECY UPDATE: Spy Baloon

This week, a shocking report surfaced concerning a Chinese Communist Party Surveillance balloon sited over the United States. The size of three school buses, this balloon carried a mysterious payload that our military leaders couldn’t identify. China says it’s a weather balloon that drifted off, but this particular balloon is maneuverable, apparently being controlled remotely. Could China be testing the USA? Gathering military and technology information? Or could it be something more sinister?

The Communist Chinese Government threatened to use an EMP attack over U.S. ships a few years ago, according to Roman Balmakov, a reporter at the Epoch Times (I’m a subscriber, and if you want honest news and excellent research, I hope you’ll subscribe too).

If this “weather balloon” (or “spy balloon”) were carrying an atomic bomb that detonated at 60,000 feet, it would create an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that could easily wipe out our nation’s electrical grid, electronics, communications systems, vehicles with electronic systems, and electric pumps. It would create literal “silence and darkness.”

Isaiah 47:5
Sit silently, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the queen of kingdoms.
In the Book of Revelation, we are told that during the Tribulation, the world will not only experience spiritual darkness but literal darkness. How can darkness come to a nation in a nanosecond? An EMP attack is certainly one possibility.:

Revelation 8:12
Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day [a]did not shine, and likewise the night.

Revelation 16:10
Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

Imagine that you and your spouse decide to take a vacation far from home. You have grown children and grandchildren, and you are now retired. Suddenly, a solar flare or an explosion over your location brings an electromagnetic pulse that completely neutralizes all batteries, all electronic equipment, cell phones, electronic notebooks, and everything that has anything to do with electronics. There is no radio, television, phone service, Internet, or vehicles moving.

What are you going to do? How long would it take you to walk back home? Such an event would devastate any country.
