As we enter the new year - 2008 - know that the number '8' means "New Beginnings, Circumcision, New Birth, Manifestation, Sanctification, Death and Reveal" . The first 31 prophecies were presented in The Gleaner yesterday. Today we present the remaining prophecies for the new year.
32. Jamaica will be experiencing all these great degrees of things; war is going to break out in Jamaica. The police force is going to have their hands full and the army is going to be more dominant in Jamaica to deal with crime.
33. The Spirit says that the people of Jamaica are going to look up and look to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He says "A great falling away of saints also is going to be on the rise!
34. The husbands are to watch over their wives - the enemy is planning to use the device of uncertainty that he used with Eve in the beginning. There has been a shift. Normally there would be a focus on the males, but there is going to be a focus on the females. The plan is to abort the woman's ministry then to weaken the male and to destroy him. Watch and pray!
35. The word that the enemy presently has his eyes on is Ephesians 5: 22 - 23 and that speaks of the wife who must submit to her husband and that each husband to love his wife - the enemy's eyes are focused on that Scripture because he is saying that once he can allow the husbands and wives and the family lives to be degraded, then that is the end of their ministry. So the enemy is attacking families all over and the Lord is saying that the wives and husbands need to be watchful and they have to come together and pray much, because the enemy has seen that this area can destroy families and His purpose rapidly. We have to keep watch and pray much!
36. The Lord is saying that it is harvest time, and the Lord is looking to those that He has called - the men and women - ministers, pastors, bishops, evangelists, teachers - to stand for truth and righteousness, and go forth to every nation, saith the Lord. God needs them, He is depending on the men and women that He has chosen to go forth and preach His word to the lost and dying.
37. God almighty is about to destroy many cities that have embraced idolatry, living lives that are displeasing to Him and those who have the truth, God is saying "Rise Up! Go forth and warn them, preach the Gospel to them because a time of weeping and wailing is coming upon the nations and if the nations will turn to me and repent of their sins, then I will have mercy."
38. The Word of the Lord through Isaiah 5 - God is disappointed with some of us in the body and indeed He is going to demand and bring justice upon us and judgment. He is removing the hedge of protection from some of the churches and is setting them under fire and He is removing the blessings. The Lord said, "You have allowed my people to go into captivity because of lack of knowledge and you have allowed the gates of Sheol to be enlarged because you are teaching the people wrongly." God says He will be bringing down and humbling some of us and that He will also be changing the people who He has put as guards. There will be a changing of the guards.
39. Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who call darkness light and light darkness, and who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter; and woe to those who are wise in their own eyes.
40. The Lord is talking about the youth - the children today that they are being enlisted in the enemy's army through comic books, cartoons, children songs and children's programmes and in fact many of them are walking around like zombies! We are going to see widespread violence because the enemy is going to allow these children to act out these things that they are seeing and that are being implanted in their spirits. The blood of these children is upon our hands and if we do not come together as God's army and pray over our children then the lost souls will be on our hands.
41. For the month of Adar (February and March) 2008, many of us will see changes in our lives. Many of us will be celebrating Purim! Things and traps that the enemy have set for you are going to go back and be repaid to your enemies and therefore the fate that people wanted for others they shall receive if they refuse to repent.
42. Jamaica needs to be careful of alliances with a country from the far North, (which) will force Jamaica to revisit an amendment that the Church will oppose. The alliance may seem financially attractive to the nation, but devastating for the country in the long run.
43. Jamaica will be the spiritual and financial hub of the Caribbean; nothing will stop what God is doing! People will join forces to go into a national fast to go against ancestral spirits and the pirate spirits!
44. A major flood in Puerto Rico that will last about three months.
45. Disasters in Calcutta, India; revival will come to California but it will come through a disaster. Missionaries must get ready for California. Pray for Switzerland, the Caricom Countries, Bombay, the Netherlands, Canada, San Francisco and England!
46. Israel - hostility will increase. Pray for Israel and Jerusalem.
47. Major beverage company will find itself in serious trouble financially - name beginning with P.
48. The unsaved will turn to the nation for solutions.
49. God is calling many mega-churches to help some of the smaller ministries.
50. God is calling the 'Boaz' ministries to help the 'Ruth' ministries.
.
51. A record number of movie stars will be saved, one will get sick, not unto death - initials D.W.
52. Turmoil in the world! Many have been looking inward to themselves when they should be looking to God for solutions.
53. Bangladesh - God will visit again - widespread famine, epidemic!
54. All Christians should pray because serious times are ahead. The Body of Christ must change its strategy - II Samuel 5: 17 - 25. The Body of Christ must pray a minimum of one hour per day, especially in 2008 so that we will not fall into deception.
55. Korahs in the churches are on the increase and they are bringing Babylonian gods into the churches.
56. We are to rebuild the wall as in the days of Nehemiah 7. The Lord is warning leaders who are instigating their members to cause division within the churches to repent.
57. In 2008 the Rahabs are coming forth and the Church must be careful that it do not squeeze, bruise and hurt the Rahabs.
58. Leaders of nations must look to God for direction or else the answers that they are looking for they will not receive.
59. Three senior politicians in Jamaica - their lives are in danger. Pray for the politicians. The persons involved want it to look like an accident or suicide.
60. God is calling the Jamaican Government to seek His anointed servants (Apostles and Prophets) to take the nation out of crisis especially in the areas of crime and debt reduction! Failure to do so may result in the nation experiencing a constitutional crisis.
61. God is not pleased with the evangelistic and pentecostal church leaders in Jamaica because of their pride and personal motives. The access that they once enjoyed they will no longer have. God is going to raise up new voices that will speak the truth in Jamaica.
62. Great turnaround will come to America if they apply Biblical principles to the issues affecting them - particularly in the area of finance. If they fail to do so, then there will be great suffering ahead! Pray that there will be a free and fair presidential election.
Disclaimer: God reserves the right to hold His hand back from any form of judgement pending subject to repentance of nations and individuals. Jonah 3: 5 - 10. Exodus 32: 14; Jeremiah 18: 7 - 11; Amos 7: 3 - 6; II Kings 20: 1 - 11. Please remember, God does whatever He pleases (Psalm 135: 6). He changes times and seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings. (Daniel 1: 20 - 23)
