An
Intimate Relationship with the Almighty
a prophecy by Don Franklin
It has always been about relationship and not mass production of numbers or quantities of information on a piece of paper to prove how spiritual you are or what you've done for Me. From the time of Adam and Eve on down to the time of Christ it was about God appearing to a man, to a woman, in a one on one relationship with them.
Adam and Eve, Moses, Noah, Enoch, David, Samuel - men and women who would commune with Me from their heart - they didn't have a formal relationship through a church or through a structure. They had a living one on one relationship with Me everyday and it was out of that relationship that they lived and moved and had their being and ministered.
And when the Lord Jesus came to give his life a ransom for many, he came to open up access to the Father that you could have the type of relationship that Adam and Eve had even before the Fall, that you could become "now beloved are we the sons and daughters of God."
But the enemy has stepped in and he has substituted church attendance, substituted bible study, substituted quoting scripture - the devil himself can quote scripture. He has substituted all manners of religious activity and service for a personal one on one relationship with Me.
I'm bringing you back to the founding key of a relationship and that is quieting yourself down and spending time with your Heavenly Father, and it it out of this that you will minister, out of this that you will flow, out of this that you will live and move and have your being.
Jesus said, I do nothing - N, O, T, H, I, N, G - except my Father in Heaven shows Me. He was not responsible to do a single thing that he was not shown. He didn't come to reform the nations, to reform the government, to reform the churches. He came to simply do the will of his Heavenly Father, which was to die on a Cross and to give his life a ransom for many that could open up the gates of Heaven - the relationship to the Father.
I have a specific calling and ministry for your life and for other lives and you will never find it outside of a one on one with Me. So, your relationship with Me everyday is the most important thing on this planet. And I'm calling you do draw aside and to intensify that relationship with Me and as you do I'm going to speak to you, and whisper to you, and show you things.
And I'm going to change the whole way you view Christianity and the whole way you view ministry and the whole way you view what you're called to do. It's going to change you, saith the Lord; it's going to change you.
And so yes, make it a habit to commune with Me everyday of your life whether you are down at a church or whether you're home. Shut everything off, turn everything aside and come and kneel before Me, and not just for five or ten minutes while you run to think about the laundry or what you have to do the next day. Come and spend quality time with Me and I will turn your life upside down in ways you've never dreamed, but it's all going to come out of that relationship with Me.
I will change the way you view things; I will change the way you do things; I will change the way you dress; I will change the way you talk; I will change it all, saith God, so you can be my hand extended to this world, but not in frustration and not in craziness. You are going to have peace like a river and people are going to be drawn to you because of the peace of God they sense on you.
I'm going to show you how to walk with Me like Abraham did. I'm going to show you how to be at peace about things. I'm going to bring you to a rest in Me that is going to be absolutely delicious. You're not going to worry about things; you're not going to fret about things. You're going to be at peace when you have the perfect will of your Father in Heaven.
I can open up the Garden to you, and it is not opened to everyone. It's opened to those who love the Father and who are willing to obey the Father. And when you enter the Garden of God you will be taken care of. There will be peace; there will be provision; there will be relationship because the Lord Jesus has taken the enemy out of the picture and defeated him.
Be restored to your relationship with Me as it was with Adam and Eve. They didn't have to minister to please Me. They didn't have to bring in eighteen thousand souls a day to please Me. They didn't have to perform and prophesy and heal people and do all of these things to please Me. They're my children; I am pleased with them. All I wanted to do was to talk to them, and walk with them, and be friends with them, and share my love with them.
And that is what I would like to bring you into - to enter in behind the veil, to pierce the heart of your Heavenly Father, so I can move to put my arms around you and show my love. Come be at peace and be at rest. Come enter into the heart of your God and he will indeed keep you safe and comfort you with his wings and pour knowledge and training and expertise into you.
As you commune with Me, you need not fear for the future. You will be my delight, my joy, my children and I will provide for you.
Germany,
I've heard your prayers
prophecy by Don Franklin
Apology to Germany ~ I really have to apologize to you because I've had a bad attitude about coming to Germany. I was still very upset about the wars that have happened. My grandfather came over here and fought, my father fought and I had to repent because I really didn't want to come to Germany
But, now that I'm here and met your people, I'm so glad that I came and I'm so sorry that I had these attitudes that were against things that had happened in the past. The young people that have come forward are so different that what I expected. They are hungry for God.
The Lord showed me an illustration of when my own children were younger, when they'd misbehave I'd put them in the corner and then when the punishment was over I would let them out of the corner and everything would go back to normal.
Prophecy:
And God said to me, "I put Germany in the corner for over 60 years and I'm about to let her out. The punishment time is over for what has happened. There was a decree, there was a time of punishment, but I'm letting the kid out of the corner. You can either accept it or reject it, but I'm going to pour my Spirit out on the German nation and I'm going to bring these people to me and I'm going to show them my love now."
I've heard your prayers. I've heard you. You've cried out to me. I've heard your prayers for your nation. I'm about to flood this nation with men from around the world. They are coming to this nation. And I'm not bringing second class ministers. I'm bringing the best of the best to Germany and I'm going to cause them to invest their lives in your land.
I'm going to raise up for myself a people out of Germany that are going to praise my name. They are going to take my glory to the nations. It is a new day in Germany. The spirit of God is breaking upon this nation and I am going to raise up men and women unto myself and I am going to vindicate the investment that I've made in Germany.
Before this is over, the flag of Germany is going to fly high among the nations in honor and respect. They are going to be known for their evangelists in the world and I am going to make them a blessing to the nations.
Kassel, Kassel - from you will come a sound wave and soon the whole nation will begin shaking by the power and waves of the Holy Spirit.
Oh little town on Paderborn - out of you will come a move that will touch the world. An artisan well will come out of the springs of Paderborn that will spread across the globe and touch this planet.
The
Courtroom and the Lamb
a vision by Bonnie
Franklin
While in prayer I was shown a courtroom scene. The prosecution side of the court was jammed full of people who had come with their grievances and accusations and angry words against us. Some were shaking with anger and their faces were so distorted with rage. Then in the spirit I could see the demons, which were round about the people jeering them on - the same type of demonic spirits whom had encircled the angry mob when Christ was brought before the Jews.
There were only three who had come in our defense. The rest of the seats were empty. These three prophetic witnesses, prophets of the Lord, remained silent in the courtroom knowing better than to touch those anointed of the Lord.
Sitting by our side as councilor and advocate was Our Lord Jesus Christ. It was he who was representing us in this court.
Those on the left began to scream out their accusations against my family in such tones of hatred and venomous rage. The gavel came down; order in the court. Looking up, I saw seated on the bench, the Supreme Judge Father God Almighty. He looked down in our direction. I bowed my head lowering my eyes before him saying, "Our righteousness is as filthy rags in your sight. We avail ourselves of the Blood of the Lamb putting on his robes of white. We cover ourselves in his blood and his righteousness."
At those words, the Lord Jesus' garments began to shine a brilliant white and the light of his glory enveloped roundabout me, my husband and family. Father God as Judge seeing the light of his Son saw no fault in Him for the Lamb of God was spotless, pure and holy in his sight. We were hidden in the light of his glory.
Then Father God spoke this decree: "You who have availed yourselves of the Blood of the Lamb are free to go; I find no fault in thee." And we who were accused were now found blameless in his sight. Christ stood, and we and the three prophetic witnesses who had refused to sit on the side of the accusers, were led out of the courtroom by Our Lord covered in his glory, as the door swung and locked shut behind us.
And then those who had gathered speaking ill words, those who had come with their accusations and jealousies, now found themselves before the Judgment Seat and it was now their turn to face the Supreme Judge Father God Almighty.
Your
Trials are in My Hands
a prophecy by Don Franklin
Anyone in the kingdom who is called to any position will go through the battle. It says to take the Scriptures as an example. And when King David was called to his position in the Body he was anointed by the highest prophet in the land, he had all the fanfare, he had the favor of the King, everything was sunshine and roses and then all of a sudden it turned.
The battle came and he ran for his life, and he ran, and he ran, and he ran. And he ended up in the Philistine camp faking madness, working even living with the enemy at times to survive. It was brutal; it was rough; it was tough and at the end his own men wanted to slaughter him, cut his head off and hang him on a pole. Talk about trials; talk about tribulations before you come into your kingship or your "rulership". That is an Old Testament pattern of development of leadership.
And I am putting upon every single person in the Body who is called a battle must be fought. You will fight through to your leadership, saith the Lord. But the day will come when finally the trials, the tribulations, and the battles come to a cease and Ziklag has appeared and you will face your last obstacle before I coronate you to your positions in the Body.
But you will have been tested and proved and tried and humbled by the hand of God before you ascend you leadership in the Body. I will not put a novice in who can be easily lifted up and then fall.
So know this, your trials are in my hands. Your tribulations are in my hands. I kept David through it all; I kept David through it all. Even when he was in the enemy's camp and that correlates to when you feel Satan all around you and the demons are screaming and they're saying, "You're not going to survive; I'm going to do this; I'm going to do that." And you go, "God, where are you? God, where are you?"
I am watching over you. Behold, he who keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. I am the Mighty One of Israel and my hand and my eyes are upon you in the pit, in the dungeon, or in the palace on the throne no matter where you are I see you, saith the Lord.
So call on Me; call on Me. Fall down on the ground and humble yourself, saith God, in the middle of your trial. Fall on your face before God and say, "I know not how to go in or come out without you, Lord. If you don't hold my hand, I am destroyed.
You will learn who is boss. You will learn who is the Lord. You will learn where your strength ends and mine begins. I will bring you to the end of your natural strength. I will bring you to the end of your spiritual strength. You will learn that without me you will perish. You will perish in this land and you will find such a need for me and such a love for me and such a brokenness before me.
And then, saith the Lord, when the bread is risen and is ready, I will bring it out of the oven and I will serve it to the Body. So until that time, hang on, saith God. Stay in there; continue on; keep walking; keep talking. Keep falling down before me and explaining your needs to me.
And the day will come, saith God, the day will come, the day will come. David didn't always go out to battle. He went out to battle for years and years and years but there came a day when I did coronate him. He put the sword in the scabbard and began to reign and others went to battle for him. He sent the armies out and he administrated and pontificated from the palace. The day will come when you will sheath your sword, you will sit in authority and others will go and fight.
A
Dream of the Miraculous
a dream and exhortation by Bonnie Franklin
In my dream I flew in a small plane and then was on a boat. I believe the destination was somewhere in Africa. But a person on the boat was killed, and out of deep compassion I went over and prayed over the dead body - deep prayer. The words were drawn out like Kathryn would pray. Then I began to pray in tongues and said, "As God breathed into Adam the breath of life, receive now the breath of life and live again. Then in the dream I breathed over his body and he came back to life.
This happened again a second time with another man. With this person the Spirit prompted me to pray, "From the top of your head," and I touched his head, "to the souls of your feet," and I rubbed the bottom of his feet, "be restored to life, in Jesus' Name." This man, too, came back to life.
By now a group of people had gathered who were ill and diseased needing prayer. Some were calling and reaching out to me, "Miss Bonnie, Miss Bonnie." I could not pass by without placing my hands upon the heads of each one as I went down the lines.
At the end of one line lay the body of a young boy. His eyes and mouth were open, yet he was dead; he had been dead. The doctor and family members proclaimed him to be dead. I felt that flood of compassion come and began to pray over the lifeless body of the boy.
As I was praying in tongues and started to say, "From the top of your head to the..." as I looked down to touch his feet, I saw that the arms and legs were not in the same position as they had been before. Looking up into his face I saw that there was now life in his eyes and he was smiling at me. His life had been restored even before I had finished the prayer. I started laughing and asked of him, "Son, where have you been?"
Then in the dream I was back home at a reception. A young man was there who had previously been used to influence many children and young people to be good citizens and strive to attain goals. However, he had backslidden in despair when the ways of the church did not meet up with his expectations and the call of the world promised satisfaction.
I began to share with him of my trip into Africa I had recently made with a doctor and how three people were even raised from the dead. This captured his attention. As he went to get refreshments I had a knowing in my spirit that I needed to invite him to come on our next missionary trip, for he had a great call upon his life, and being a witness to the power of the Lord would deliver him out of his darkness and set him back on the path of his destiny with God.
Comments: Many in this generation of young people have awesome calls upon their lives. And the enemy has seen that, even since the '60's and has tried to destroy and kill as many as he can to stop the victorious warriors of God from going forward.
Many of us see our loved ones in bondage as the enemy tries to destroy their calls and their very lives. Yet we can pray and obey; pray and obey; pray and release them into God's hands knowing that in due season he will send a deliverer to save their lives and souls.
I believe in my heart that as the Lord restores the miraculous signs and wonders - manifest healings and creative miracles back unto the church - that the church will see many, many, many of their wayward children return home. Because they have tasted of the Spirit and the power of God in their lives in times past, and when the Spirit of God begins to flow in all of his glory and power they will not be able to resist Him and they will come as willing servants to do the bidding of the Master. They long for the truth of the Gospel; they long for the Book of Acts; they long for the reality of the Scriptures to be evident in their daily lives.
Do not loose hope. Many of your loved ones will return to the Cross, to the kingdom of God when they see His kingdom come, when they see his Spirit flow and has it not been prophesied stadiums will be filled? 40,000 were in Kiev with Franklin Graham, hungry to hear the Word of the Lord. Thousands more came to the Nashville CALL. But it won't be a yearly event, or a monthly event. It will be week after week, and even day after day when churches and stadiums will be filled as the power of the Holy Spirit lives and moves and has His being in and amongst our lives and spirits.
We live for that day. We hope; we believe. The Kingdom of our Lord is coming. May we live to see that day, to see the joy of the Lord upon the faces of loved ones and our children as they bask in the divine presence of our God as the Holy Spirit God walks in their midst meeting their needs, touching and healing one and all.
