A Series of Prophetic Words and Visions for this Moment Part 4






  I saw another vision of the United States and there were at least 23 Pillars of Fire coming down across the nation and the fire from these pillars flowing in every direction even crossing the borders with Mexico and Canada. 

  Everywhere the pillars came down and the fire flowed I saw there were times when church buildings were overflowing with people 24 hours a day for weeks at a time. I began to think, there are not enough chairs. The Lord, spoke, “Don’t worry about the chairs most of my people will be on the floor due to My weighty presence filling those places.”  The vision also showed me colleges and schools where the students and teachers and professors were on the floor in the classrooms crying out to God. Regent University is one of these places.

  Then the next vision was of the world. There were thousands of Pillars of Fire coming down on islands, in Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America. Every continent will be touched by this Move. In this vision, God bought me close to the middle east. There was a Pillar of Fire in Israel. This pillar spread the fire into the desert to the south, north into Lebanon and beyond and east to the Euphrates River.

   This is what I have been given so far and I am expecting more.

God also has spoken to me, there are specific prophetic words for regions, cities, and churches in addition to these national and global words and visions. Please contact me for the details at lionsvoiceministries@yahoo.com.

 I hope this encourages and blesses you.

A Series of Prophetic Words and Visions for this Moment Part 3




  The lord began to speak again, “I am doing a new thing, I am moving in the moment. I will do signs and wonders, the like and the quantity has never been seen before. You cannot look to the past, for how I am moving and what is going to be manifested.

  There will be some of my people who will not move with me. I will still bless them but they will miss the fullness of the blessings that I have for them.

   There will be some who will oppose My moving in this way. If they continue to harden their hearts, I will remove them.”

The Power Behind ISIS

By Richard L. Spangler

(In light of the recent attacks in Paris, I feel the need to republish this article on ISIS. I hope it blesses you and you will answer the call of the Holy Spirit).


Most people are concerned and rightly so about the rise of ISIS. The brutality of these Islamic Terrorists, the mass executions and beheadings, are shocking. I began asking the Lord Jesus to reveal the spirit behind these terrorists and how do we as believers’ war against the power behind ISIS and defeat it and them.
I was recently led into a study of Jonah and was then led by the Holy Spirit to take a look at Nineveh. Most of us know some of the story Jonah and Nineveh and how Jonah did not want to go there because they were an evil people and an enemy of Israel. As I looked deeper into Nineveh, I found it was the capital of the Assyrian Empire and it was brutal its enemies and its own people. The leaders of Nineveh would use terror and brutality in order to maintain control over the empire. Their methods included, mass beheadings and making pyramids out of the heads, impaling people on stakes (an early form of crucifixion) and nailing bodies to the walls of the various cities in empire. This sounds strangely familiar to what is being done today by ISIS.
This is more than a man or a group of individuals doing these things for a short time in history. As we have seen these tactics have been used for thousands of years and have been used in the same region of the earth for the same purpose to control and rule over man by whatever means necessary. It is an evil principality causing men to control and manipulate mankind. It can be called the Assyrian Principality. Control over men is a tool that this principality uses to wage war against God and to stop the Word of God from being fulfilled. This is why all of these men and empires and governments have a demonically inspired hatred of Jews and Christians and an overwhelming drive to wipe out all Jews and Christians.
I asked the Lord, “How do we fight an evil spirit which is a principality?”
The Lord said, “You don’t, I do. Ask Me to rise up and fight.”
I then asked, “How do we ask?”
The Lord spoke, “Call upon all the Young Lions of Judah, and tell them how is the time to roar in Spirit. To raise the sound of praise and worship from every corner of the earth and intercede for mankind.”
I pondered for days about the Lord had said. Then I woke up one day an hour and half early by the Spirit and I was immediately and passionately worshipping the Lord God, Our Father. Then I found myself transitioning by the Holy Spirit. He led me into repentance for my sins. There was a release of forgiveness that was amazing and could not help but worship God more.
Then I found myself crying out for forgiveness for the Church as a whole. The Spirit then moved me to cry out for forgiveness for our nation. And remind the Lord of the covenant with this nation. After this, I began declaring His faithfulness to Israel and to His Bride (the Church). Then I began to declare that the Lord magnifies His Word above His Name (Psalm 138:2 AMP).
With that I cried out for the Lord God to arise and defend His Word from the Assyrian Principality, who has declared war on His people Israel, His Bride (the Church) and His Holy Word. I called on the Lord God of Heaven and Earth to wage war against this principality destroying its stronghold on the earth and totally defeating it and bringing confusion to its servants (men) on the earth. I Worshiped and Praised God for the victory.
This experience in worship and intersession is the guideline for the Young Lions of Judah to stand and roar in the Spirit against the Assyrian Principality and its allies. It’s time for the Young Lions to Roar.

Two Streams:One Prophetic River


                                             By Richard L Spangler

Recently, I have had many people asking me the same question, “Which prophecies are correct?  Are the prophecies concerning a coming judgment and destruction true? Or are the prophecies of Great Awakening and blessings true?” I say both are true. Before you stop reading let me explain.

God has always moved in two prophetic streams. There is always been two choices for mankind to make, first is to follow God and choose life, the second is to follow our own way into God’s judgment and destruction. This is exemplified when God spoke to Israel in Deuteronomy 30:19 (AMP)“ I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live." The book of Judges is another example where God says to his people do what is right or face judgment. Every time Israel did evil in God’s sight their enemies were able to overcome them but when they repented and turn to God he would raise up a judge, a deliver, who would set them free and they would prosper. All of the Old Testament prophets had two streams in their prophetic words the first was repent of your sins, return to God he will forgive you and he will cause you to prosper, in other words life. The second stream was one of judgment if you keep going the way you’re going you’re going to be destroyed because of your sin, in other words, death. These warning prophecies were given to Israel and to the nations of the world.

  Today is the same, God is calling to us to choose life and not death. Their prophetic warnings of destruction and God’s judgment on our nation and the nations of the world if we do not change our ways. There is also a prophetic statement of a Great Awakening and blessings coming to the nations if we repent and turn from our evil ways.
  Like Israel, our nation is at the fork in the Prophetic River of God, we can choose to repent and move into a time of great awakening, healing and prosperity or we can continue on the same path we’ve been on and watch our nation self-destruct. We will bring upon ourselves our own destruction and God’s judgment.

   But many ask, “How can the whole nation turn?” The answer is, “It doesn’t have too.” 2 chronicles 7:13-14 (AMP)13 If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, 14 and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.” The church, is God’s people, we need to repent and seek the face of God (craving God). There are some that say that the church is not willing to change it has been so corrupted by the world that there is no hope for the church to repent. There is always hope, God has always had a remnant. There were a small numbers people in the Old Testament that cried out to God in repentance for their nation. There were only 120 in the upper room, God heard their prayers, and began to turn the hearts of the people of the world back to himself. The Reformation started with just a few. The first and the Second Great Awakenings and the Azusa St Revival (the Pentecostal/charismatic movements) that have swept the nation and world started with a few people praying .So it is today, there has been a small number of people in the church crying out and repenting for the sins of the church and they have been seeking God’s face (craving God) and now their prayers are being answered. More and more of God’s people are awakening to the state of the church and of our nation and the world, they are beginning to cry out in repentance and they are seeking God’s face asking his forgiveness and God is moving.

But, just like a river, there is turbulence as the separation of streams occur. Two currents, each pulling in its direction. We have steering wheel of the ship and with the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, we can turn the rudder, away from the stream of destruction and into the stream of the Great Awakening and Blessing.

  There is much to be done, it is not only a time to pray but to take action. Prayer is the most powerful action but we must stand up in the power, authority and love of God, that God has given us and begin to proclaim the word of God in every corner of this nation. It is time to come out of the prayer closets, everyone else has come out of their closets,  and to begin to proclaim the gospel with power and authority and with signs following in the streets in the stores in the halls of government regardless of what the world’s political correctness says. We can no longer afford to hide behind the four walls of the church buildings, or hide behind the world’s political correctness.

We do not need to be worried about offending anyone. I would rather offend to save, rather than see them destroyed and in hell. When we are told by many, to stop testifying to Gospel and to stop moving with the Holy Spirit, doing signs, wonders and miracles we need to respond as Peter and John did in Acts 4:19-20  (AMP)”19 But Peter and John replied to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you and obey you rather than God, you must judge [for yourselves]; 20 for we, on our part, cannot stop telling [people] about what we have seen and heard.” 

We must arise with the leading of the Holy Spirit and take back the devil has stolen. Devil has stolen, our children, our neighborhoods, our cities, our states, and our nations. It is time for the church to arise in power and authority and the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. We have the victory, for when we move, God himself will arise, moving with us, and He will release the armies of heaven to fight with us.

  So the choice is ours, to let our nation and the nations of the earth continue to go to hell in a hand basket or to rise up and proclaim the word of God in love and power and turned this nation and the nations of the earth back to God. We can have the Worldwide Great Awakening that has is promised.

Be Like Jonah


By Richard L Spangler

 We all know the story of Jonah, the prophet who tried to run from giving God’s message to Nineveh. But, there is much more to his story and that is why I titled this article “Be Like Jonah.”
   Never-the-less In Jonah chapter 3, he heads to Nineveh. Nineveh was the capital of the Assyrian Empire. A city 60 miles wide and a population of 120,000. The Leadership of Nineveh was brutal to their enemies and their own people. The leaders of Nineveh would use terror and brutality in order to maintain control over the empire. Their methods included, mass beheadings and making pyramids out of the heads, impaling people on stakes (an early form of crucifixion) and nailing bodies to the walls of the various cities in empire. The Assyrians did not worship God Jehovah. Jonah knew all of this, No wonder he didn’t want to go there.

   Jonah was walking into a very politically incorrect situation and one that could cost him his life. In Jonah 3:4 He enters the city and declares the Word of the Lord of its impending destruction. A wonderful thing happens, the people of Nineveh believed God. The people proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth. After that the King heard of the move of God in the city and he joined in proclaiming a fast for man and beast. Then the king led everyone from their evil ways and the violence they had done. The people and the king repented. When God saw their works and their repentance and He decided not to destroy them.
   We should be like Jonah, he preached God’s message in a politically incorrect situation. Political correctness says for the church, and individual believer to keep quiet and don’t speak out. If we speak God’s Word we can be branded uneducated, backwards and politically incorrect. But if we, like Jonah, speak the Word that God in power and authority, telling them message of forgiveness through Jesus Christ, to the people around us we too can have the same results. We can change our neighborhoods, our cities, our states and our nation.

   We do not need to look to the political leadership of our nation for change. The leaders of Nineveh did not change until they saw the people change. The same is true of our leaders, they will not change unless we lead the people to change.

   It is up to us to take the message of God’s love to the streets of our cities like Jonah did and expect greater results. The reason I say greater is that we have the Holy Spirit. We have the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). The combining of the Fruits and the Gifts of the Spirit creates a far greater anointing than any Old Testament prophet ever had, so we can expect greater results.  

We are God’s messengers to this nation and to the world. It’s time to put action to our prayers for our nation. Do not be afraid of those who call you names and say you are politically incorrect, stand your ground and speak the Word of God, demonstrate His love and power and expect change.
