JOSHUA TIME 463

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, I have a special Christmas message for you today! It should bring joy to your heart and peace to your soul. If you will allow the Holy Spirit to work in your life, through this Prophet’s Chamber message, I guarantee this will be your best, most fulfilling Christmas ever. Why? Because God wants to give you more good gifts than you’ve ever received before! He wants to give you relief from fear, confusion, sadness, depression and grief. He wants to manifest His miracle-working power in your life for PHYSICAL HEALING, FINANCIAL FREEDOM, RESTORED RELATIONSHIPS and much more, because....
December's Prophetic Word: YOU ARE A SEED OF GOD’S FAVOR
Look at Psalm 24:6: “This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.” We are the generation that must seek the face of God. And what is on God’s face? His mouth. And what proceeds out of God’s mouth? His WORDS, His BREATH — His Spirit, and His SMILE — His favor! These are the three keys to your manifestation of miracles this Christmas season and all through the New Year, my Platinum Covenant Partner.
HIS WORDS. What do God’s words say about you?
He has plans to prosper you and give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:10-11).
He has made provision for the healing of your body (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24).
He will keep you in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3).
He will save your family (Acts 16:31).
He will give you victory (Romans 8:31).
The list goes on! This is what God’s Word says about you. His words speak continual blessing over you.
HIS SPIRIT. How does God’s Spirit impact you?
It was the Holy Spirit that empowered Jesus during His three years of earthly ministry to perform miracle after miracle (Luke 4:18).
This same Spirit is promised to you, to empower you for the good works your Father intends you to do (Luke 11:13, John 16:13).
The Spirit gives you prophecies and spiritual dreams (Acts 2:17-18).
The Spirit bestows gifts upon God’s people (1 Corinthians 12:4-9).
God has promised you blessings in His Word, He has promised you His Spirit which brings gifts, truth and spiritual insight, and the final thing that comes from seeking God’s face is:
HIS SPIRIT. How does God’s Spirit impact you?
Numbers 6:25-26 shows this so clearly, “The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” When you seek God’s face, His face, His smile, His favor shines upon YOU!
When God baptizes you with His Spirit, you will forget the meaning of the word defeat. When you determine to seek the face of God with your whole heart and obey His commands, He will strike “fear” out of your heart forever and open doors you never dreamed possible. You will be a seed that serves Him, calling like Christ, “Not my will, but Thine be done.”
God’s favor will move you to the front of the line, to the head of the class — all the way from the back of the bus to any seat on the bus you want!
This anointing is not for everybody, but it is for YOU, !
If you will receive this word and abandon yourself to God and His commands, I believe God will overtake you with His favor and a harvest of His miracle-working provision. You possess the seed that can move the hand of God and heart of God toward you with favor, but if that seed dies, it cannot bear fruit. You must sow the seed. Determine now the harvest you need, then sow your seed in faith believing. If you have a great need, then sow a great seed!
This Christmas, God wants to give you gifts of favor beyond your wildest dreams, in celebration of the perpetual harvest of the seed of His Son that was sown for all mankind so long ago. Seek His face today — plant your seed of faith and let Him overtake you with His favor.

JOSHUA TIME 462

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, the Holy Spirit of God has shown me that many of my dearest friends, my Platinum Covenant Partners, are becoming weary in the good fight of faith. If you feel like you’re down for the count and can’t get up again — THIS REVELATION IS FOR YOU! When you feel like you’re a failure ... when the world and even your family turn against you ... when the doctor has bad news, when the lawyer can’t help you: God’s Word declares in 1 John 4:4, “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” As you read the following words, let God fill your heart and mind with hope, because....
Prophetic Word: YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE IT
No matter what you are going through today ... no matter what troubles you are facing ... I know that you’re going to make it! How can I know this? Because God has promised it in His Holy Word. Today, I want to impart His message of hope to you, my Platinum Covenant Partner.
It is not your self-esteem that will see you through — that is pitiful in God’s sight. I turned through four religious TV channels the other night — and on each one, a preacher was trying to improve my self-esteem. Isaiah declared, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). You will never be good enough of your own accord to make it through the troubles and trials of life.
But you are going to make it, because of Christ inside of you, in whom you live and move and have your being. The kingdom of heaven is not for quitters. Where did God ever tell you to quit? Instead, God says, “he that endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:22). Endurance is the banner of true saints.
You may start the race, but I can’t call you a winner just because you look good at the starting line. Rather, up ahead there is a finish line, and I will have to take up my position there to find out whether or not you’ve got the stuff. Because sure as the world, that muscle-bound guy who looked like a spiritual giant about halfway through the course is going to get terrible cramps at the three-quarter mark, crumble and fall by the wayside.
But you are going to cross the finish line of this life in victory! Why? Because you are not relying on your own strength — you are relying on the force of Christ in you. Christ in you, the hope of glory! What a powerful truth! And if you’ll open your spirit to receive this revelation today, it will surely resurrect your spirit, your marriage — even your finances.
True saints wear the badge of endurance. They make it to the end, and you are going to make it. That is the revelation God gave me for you, Joshua. YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE IT.
How is the power of Christ at work in you? Because you have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless you live; yet not you but Christ lives in you (Galatians 2:20).
Emperor Nero told the Apostle Paul, “I am going to sever your head from your body and kill you.” Paul said, “You try it, Nero. You cannot kill a dead man.” Today, we name our dogs Nero, and our sons Paul.
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that come against you are no coincidence. This spiritual warfare is a sure sign that God is with you! Jesus said: “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Matthew 5:11-12).
Somebody once gave me a T-shirt with a graphic of a big buck deer with a target painted on his side. His buddy deer is saying to him, “Bad luck, that birthmark of yours.” That’s you! You have that target painted on you! When you determined that you were going to raise the standard of Jesus Christ in your heart and your home, the adversary drew a great big target on you and began sharpening his arrows. He will try to attack you any way he can, because he knows that if he can’t keep you down, you are going to exalt Jesus Christ on this earth!
Today, determine in your heart to defeat the adversary in your life. Don’t let him win! Instead, run the good race. Endure to the end. You must endure, and you will endure, because of Christ in you. And when you keep your eyes on Jesus, He has promised to take you all the way to the other side of glory in overwhelming, overtaking, overthrowing victory!

JOSHUA TIME 460

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, I want to tell you a story about a modern believer who grew up in church and loved to sing praise songs and listen to great sermons ... and somehow forgot, or never learned, that there was a world in peril whose desperate cries never came to his ears, who never extended his hand in love to them, although he certainly loved God. Does this believer sound familiar to you? Do you sit next to him in church ... or could he be the one who looks back at you in the mirror? Seize this moment: Take this message and make the shift from status quo to status GO and fulfill God’s objective upon your life!
Prophetic Word: STORM WARNING
The great missionary statesman of India, Jim Anderson, told of the time he was in the United States raising funds and happened to be driving down a country road when he saw a sight that just amazed him: a phalanx of combines, a dozen or more, were all furiously harvesting the same field together, side by side. Jim had never seen more than one combine going about its solitary work in the fields of the Midwest, and he just had to know: why were all these threshers working together at such an immense pace?
He pulled off the side of the road and flagged down one of the farmers to ask what was going on. The farmer hurriedly explained: there was an immense storm coming, and the only hope all the neighboring farms had to bring in their harvest before the storm washed it away was to work together. Every man was harvesting every other man’s field, in hopes of bringing the whole harvest in before the storm hit.
As the farmer hurried back to his combine, Jim Anderson heard the voice of the Lord say to him, “You must not go back to India. You must stay here in America, because there is a storm coming, and the harvest is not yet in.”
The storm is coming — and it is here! If you don’t think the storm has begun to ravage our precious America, consider this:
Every week, 4,000 unborn babies are aborted and taken out with the trash. That’s 4,000 legal murders of innocent babies every week in America. The storm is here. Every week 8,000 young people in America contract sexually transmitted diseases. That means 8,000 teenaged lives are ruined every week. The storm is here.
You witnessed in New Orleans what happens when people can’t get away from the storm: there is chaos, carnage, mayhem, loss of life ... on a spiritual scale, we are facing another Hurricane Katrina, another southeast Asian tsunami, as a storm of the devil’s making, straight from the pit of hell, breaks across the morality and spirituality of the USA with the intent to steal, kill and destroy.
It is time and past time to get a view of eternity again, and the idea that hundreds of millions of lost souls are ready for harvest — but if we do not work together to bring them in, they will be lost forever. What does it take? It takes every man harvesting every other man’s field. It takes all those combined, side by side, going as fast and furious as they can to bring in that harvest.
But my dear Platinum Breakthrough Covenant Partner, that is not happening! The church in America today has yet to heed the storm warning and is going about its business as usual, its status quo, just as if we never heard the words of the Savior: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:37-39).
There is coming a day when the seas will be seething, the moon bleeding, the world dying, and on that day, it won’t matter how many suits of clothes you had in your closet. God will not ask you about your stock portfolio or your condo at the beach. There is only one thing God will want to know on that day: how many did you rescue from a godless eternity with the gifts and abilities He gave you?
There is a storm coming, and God is calling me to mobilize a great army, connected in our faith and in our purpose, to bring our Savior the reward of His suffering. As a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, you have a divine mandate and a holy commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. You may not be able to go into the mission field yourself, but Psalm 68:12 declares that the one who remains at home to send the army divides the spoil with the foot soldier.
I believe that right now. The storm is coming, and God has touched my spirit with the urgency of the times ... such a mighty touch of God that it resulted in a complete paradigm shift in my life and our ministry together. I believe God is speaking to His people to return to their first love, to exalt a risen Savior once again, and to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel from the rooftops! Why? Because a storm of immense magnitude has already begun to batter the borders of our nation. If we don’t work together to bring in the harvest, those precious souls will remain forever lost.
Status quo is no longer an option for the church. The only way to fulfill our commission before God is to choose Status GO. Out of the ashes of yesterday’s church, I believe God is raising up a whole new kind of believer, the likes of which the devil has never seen before! They will be the Elishas and Elijahs, the Shadrachs, Meschachs and Abednegos. They will be the ones who refuse to bow down and compromise. I believe you are one of those. My question to you is simply this:
Why not you? Why not now?
You have already declared your intention to knit your heart to mine as a Platinum Covenant Partner, so I know you are praying for me and standing beside me, to lift up the arms of the prophet just as they did for Moses so many years ago. You are with me, I know, and you will stand with me as we embrace this paradigm shift and launch into the race to bring in the harvest before the storm that will ravage this nation and our world.
My prayer for you and me together is this:
Dear God and heavenly Father, You see how my heart is knit together with Joshua whom You have called according to Your purpose. Now I declare that we together, as Your children and Your servants, are no longer satisfied with business as usual, but have made it our intention to race together to bring in the great harvest of souls in advance of the storm that is even now battering our borders! With Your grace, Your guidance and Your blessing, we will be the ones to bring this wayward generation back to God and place them as precious jewels in the crown of our Savior!
Amen and amen! Thank you, partner, for standing with me for this critical moment in time, when we, together, can impact the future of America and the world, by God ’s power!

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, God has given me a revelation that is vital to you ... if you want to see your family saved ... if you want to live God’s best life for you ... if you desire good health ... if you need financial breakthrough ... and most importantly, if you want to know the Son of God in the fullness of His resurrection power! It is a revelation for your personal reformation, and I am presenting it to you in this teaching. My prayer for you is that each component of this stunning revelation will reverberate through you, resonate with your spirit and bring you to that point of reformation.
January's Prophetic Word: GOD'S PROMISE FOR YOU IN 2006 ... REFORMATION!
This vital promise God has told me to pour into your heart and life every day of the New Year is the promise of your PERSONAL REFORMATION. And it begins as our faith begins: with the Word of God.
The Word is our BREAD and sustenance.In Matthew 4, the devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread, but the Lord answered, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceeds from the mouth of God.” Here, Jesus is quoting from Deuteronomy 8:3.The Word is the vital sustenance of the Christian. It keeps him healthy and shores up his weakness. And it is not to be taken only occasionally. If the Word of God is food for His children, then it should be approached regularly and often.The Word is our weapon against satanic attack.The devil took Jesus to a high place and suggested He throw Himself off, trusting in the angels to keep Him safe. The devil brought Scripture to his argument, reminding Jesus of God's written promise to keep Him safe. But Jesus responded by quoting a different passage. He said, "You shall not put the Lord your God to the test" (Deuteronomy 6:16). Here we see that Satan can use Scripture itself as a weapon against the believer. You and I must be ready for this type of attack. So the only defense is careful, regular study of the Bible.
The Word is our guide to right behavior, and its rewards.Satan's final offer to our Lord was the world itself, if He would only worship the Tempter. But Jesus responds again with Scripture, reminding Satan of God's commandment to serve Him alone (Deuteronomy 6:13).Through this chapter and Jesus's example, it's clear that God's Word serves as a guide to right behavior and its resulting rewards. Constant study of God's Word, then, is a prerequisite to spiritual success.
AND YOUR SPIRITUAL AND PERSONAL SUCCESS IS EXACTLY WHAT GOD HAS CALLED ME TO INVEST IN AND NURTURE.The revelation for your personal reformation in 2006 begins with daily study of God's Word. The Word of God is your weapon to defend yourself and your family against spiritual attack — for your own personal reformation.
That means your REVIVAL, your REFORMATION, your RESTORATION and your TRANSFORMATION!If you don't like where you are now, this is your opportunity to place yourself in the future God intends for you! But you must prepare yourself with the Word.

The Wooden Bowl
I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now.A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about father," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor."So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. The Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl! When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence.One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up." The four-year-old s miled and went back to work.The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.On a positive note, I've learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.I've le a rned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life some times gives you a second chance.I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.People love that human touch -- holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.I've learned that I still have a lot to learn! I've learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about ...... . And I just did.

Beth Moore]
This is just too good not to pass on!!!For those of you who don't know Beth Moore, she is anoutstanding Bible teacher, writer of Bible Studies, and amarried mother of 2 daughters. She is a member of FirstBaptist, Houston.Beth MooreApr 20, 2005Knoxville Airport - Waiting to board the plane: I had the Bible on my lap and wasvery intent upon what I was doing. I'd had a marvelousmorning with the Lord. I say that because I want to tell youit is a scary thing to have the Spirit of God really workingin you. You could end up doing some things you never wouldhave done otherwise. Life in the Spirit can be dangerous fora thousand reasons not the least of which is your ego... Itried to keep from staring but he was such a strange sight.Humped over in a wheelchair, he was skin and bones, dressedin clothes that obviously fit when he was at least twentypounds heavier. His knees protruded from his trousers, andhis shoulders looked like the coat hanger was still in hisshirt.His hands looked like tangled masses of veins and bones. Thestrangest part of him was his hair and nails. Stringy gray hairhung well over his shoulders and down part of his back. Hisfingernails were long. Clean, but strangely out of place on anold man. I looked down at my Bible as fast as I could, discomfortburning my face. As I tried to imagine what his story mighthave been, I found myself wondering if I'd just had a HowardHughes sighting. Then, I remembered that he was dead. Sothis man in the airport... animpersonator maybe? Was a camera on us somewhere?.... There I sat trying to concentrate on the Word to keep frombeing concerned about a thin slice of humanity served on awheelchair only a few seats from me. All the while my heartwas growingmore and more overwhelmed with a feeling for him. Let's admitit. Curiosity is a heap more comfortable than true concern, andsuddenly I was awash with aching emotion for thisbizarre-looking old man. I had walked with God long enough to see the handwriting onthe wall. I've learned that whenI begin to feel what God feels, something so contrary to mynatural feelings, something dramatic is bound to happen. And itmay be embarrassing. I immediately began to resist because Icould feel God working on my spirit and I started arguing withGod in my mind. "Oh no, God please no." I looked up at the ceiling as if Icould stare straight through it into heaven and said, "Don'tmake me witness to this man. Not right here and now. Please.' I'll do anything. Put me on the same plane, but don't makeme get up here and witness to this man in front of thisgawking audience. Please, Lord!"... There I sat in the bluevinyl chair begging His Highness, "Please don't make mewitness to this man. Not now. I'll do it on the plane." ThenI heard it..."I don't want you to witness to him. I want youto brush his hair." The words were so clear, my heart leaptinto my throat, and my thoughts spun like a top. Do I witnessto the man or brush his hair? No brainer. I looked straightback up at the ceiling and said, "God, as I live and breathe,I want you to know I am ready to witness to this man. I'm onthisLord. I'm you're girl! You've never seen a woman witness to aman faster in your life. What difference does it make if hishair is a mess if he is not redeemed? I am on him. I am goingto witness to this man." Again as clearly as I've ever heard an audible word, Godseemed to write his statement across the wall of my mind."That is not what I said, Beth. I don't want you to witnessto him. I want you to go brush his hair." I looked up at Godand quipped, "I don't have a hairbrush. It's in my suitcaseon the plane, How am I supposed to brush his hair without ahairbrush?"... God was so insistent that I almostinvoluntarily began to walk toward him as these thoughts cameto me from God's word: "I will thoroughly furnish you untoall good works." (2 Tim 3:17) I stumbled over to thewheelchair thinking I could use one myself. Even as I retellthis story my pulsequickens and I feel those same butterflies. I knelt down in front of the man, and asked as demurely aspossible, "Sir, may I have the pleasure of brushing yourhair?" He looked back at me and said, "What did you say?" "May I have the pleasure of brushing your hair? To which heresponded in volume ten, "Little lady, if you expect me tohear you, you're going to have to talk louder than that. Atthis point, I took a deep breath and blurted out, "SIR, MAY I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF BRUSHING YOUR HAIR?" At which point every eye in the place darted right at me. Iwas the only thing in the room looking more peculiar than oldMr. Longlocks. Face crimson and forehead breaking out in asweat, I watched him look up at me with absolute shock on hisface, and say, "If you really want to." Are you kidding? OFcourse I didn't want to. But God didn't seem interested in mypersonal preference right about then. He pressed on my heartuntil I could utter the words, "Yes, sir, I would be pleased.But I have one little problem. I don't have a hairbrush." "Ihave one in my bag," he responded. I went around to the backof that wheelchair, and I got on my hands and knees andunzipped the stranger's old carry-on hardly believing what Iwas doing. I stood up and started brushing the old man'shair. It was perfectly clean, but it was tangled and matted.I don't do many things well, but I must admit I've hadnotable experience untangling knotted hair mothering twolittle girls. Like I'd done with either Amanda or Melissa insuch a condition, I began brushing at the very bottom of thestrands, remembering to take my time not to pull. Amiraculous thing happened to me as I started brushing thatold man's hair. Everybody else in the room disappeared. Therewas no one alive for those moments except that old man andme. I brushed and I brushed and I brushed until every tanglewas out of that hair. I know this sounds so strange but I'venever felt that kind of love for another soul in my entirelife. I believe with all my heart, for that few minutes -felt a portion of the very love of God. That He had overtakenmy heart for a little while like someone renting a room andmaking Himself at home for a short while. The emotions wereso strong and so pure that I knew they had to be God's. Hishair was finally as soft and smooth as an infant's. I slippedthe brush back in the bag, went around the chair to face him.I got back down on my knees, put my hands on his knees, andsaid, "Sir, do you know my Jesus?" He said, "Yes, I do."Well, that figures, I thought. He explained , "I've known Himsince I married my bride." "She wouldn't marry me until I gotto know the Savior." He said, "You see, the problem is,I haven't seen my bride in months. I've had open-heart surgery,and she's been too ill to come see me. I was sitting herethinking to myself. What a mess I must be for my bride." Only God knows how often He allows us to be part of a divinemoment when we're completely unaware of the significance.This, on the other hand, was one of those rare encounterswhen I knew God had intervened in details only He could haveknown. It was a God moment, and I'll never forget it. Ourtime came to board, and we were not on the same plane. I wasdeeply ashamed ofhow I'd acted earlier and would have been so proud to haveaccompanied him on that aircraft. I still had a few minutes, and as I gathered my things toboard, the airline hostess returned fromthe corridor, tears streaming down her cheeks.She said, "That old man's sitting on the plane, sobbing. Whydid you do that? What made you do that?" I said, "Do you know Jesus? He can be the bossiest thing!"And we got to share. I learned something about God that day.He knows if you're exhausted because you're hungry, you'reserving in the wrong place or it is time to move on but youfeel too responsible to budge. He knows if you're hurting orfeeling rejected. He knows if you're sick or drowning under awave of temptation.Or He knows if you just need your hair brushed. He sees you asan individual. Tell Him your need! I got on my own flight, sobs choking my throat, wondering howmany opportunities just like that one had I missed along theway... all because I didn't want people to think I wasstrange. God didn't send me to that old man. He sent that oldman to me. John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling amongus. We have seen his glory,the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, fullof grace and truth."

JOSHUA TIME 454

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, if you could see what is happening at World Harvest Church right now ... you wouldn’t believe it! The white-hot heat of revival fires is burning through strongholds, bringing freedom and transforming lives! It is the pure, unadulterated Word of God coming to life to impact souls for all eternity and to smite Satan and the enemies of God. And I’m convinced it can flow to the very depths of your heart as you experience this dramatic, prophetic, end-time move of God for yourself.
Are you looking for a change in your life? Freedom in your finances? Hope in your marriage? Joy in your home? Fulfillment in your heart? God wants me to tell you revival can burst forth in your life! You can be a victor! You can gain dominion over the sins that defeat you ... the temptations that control you ... the pain that delays you ... the sorrow that grabs hold of you. Here’s how:
February's Prophetic Word: EXPERIENCE A HOLY GHOST REVIVAL
You can experience a Holy Ghost, God-ordained, spontaneous revival of purity and praise in your life! A revival defined by prayer and resulting in repentance — magnified by the Holy Spirit’s power and manifestation resulting in Judah-like praise. Are you ready?
The Gospel was written to inspire change. The problem is, we hear the Gospel so much — and we change so little. We are ever learning ... but never coming to the knowledge of the truth.
But today, I believe you can come to a place of deliverance, a place of joy ... a place of blessing and hope. You can stand in the presence of God Almighty, the God of heaven and earth! You can learn to praise Him anew with a song of gladness in your heart. It’s your time to shine! Isaiah 60:1-6 says:
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.
You can find your conquering spirit and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, cause it to arise and defeat the hindrances to revival in your heart.
How? Friend, “it’s showtime!” It’s time for you to stand up and claim your victory! Time for you to step out in faith like the saints of old, seek the face of God with new passion and determination, sow into His Kingdom and reap the harvest of blessings in your life.
I think of the story of Esther in the Old Testament. This young Jewish girl was divinely anointed by God to deliver her people from slavery, bondage and death. Was there anything special about Esther? Not really.
What Esther did have was an incredible, unshakeable faith in her God that led her to be used “for such a time as this.”
Don’t forget. Esther ran into obstacles. It wasn’t “smooth sailing” all the way for this young queen. For example, Haman — the King’s right-hand man — was a “thorn in her flesh.” He was the instrument of Satan used to attempt to defeat Esther and destroy the people of God.
But Haman could not win! God’s power working through Esther and her uncle Mordecai was too strong. God had a purpose and a plan ... carried out through a young, seemingly insignificant girl.
And God can do the same with you! All it takes is a willing heart and a conquering spirit. All it takes is a desire to stand up and be counted for the Lord ... no matter what He calls you to do. He cannot use you if you cower in the corner, waiting for God to do a work, yet never willing to play your part in the show. Instead, He wants you to be bold ... passionate ... forthright.
God is preparing you, just like He prepared Esther and Mordecai, to do great things for Him. A revival is in store for you as you declare, “It’s showtime!” and claim God’s miraculous promises and blessings for your life.
Don’t wait! Get started to today. Study God’s Word. Lean on Him. Ignite the passion in your heart for the work of the Lord. Claim victory over your finances ... your health ... your relationships ... AND WATCH THE BLESSINGS RAIN DOWN!

JOSHUA TIME 452

I'm posting my prophetic chamber notes from the platinum partner site of www.breakthrough.net
I thought I was a platinum partner since March. However, I have just got in to everything as of last night which was Monday May 15.

JOSHUA TIME 451

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, this Prophet’s Chamber is a place where I can share teaching and discipleship from God’s heart — for my treasured Platinum Covenant Partners. It is my prayer that every time you enter this chamber with your spirit open and ready to receive from Him, God will pour out His anointing into every area of your life. Your spirit will grow and be strengthened until you are a mighty spiritual warrior! May the Lord guide you by His Holy Spirit as you mine the treasures of His holy Word.
Prophetic Word: REBUILD THE BROKEN BRIDGE
“... and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in” (Isaiah 58:12).
It’s time for God’s people — you and I — to rebuild the Gospel bridge that Satan has stolen from us. This chasm between God and man leads to loneliness — and feelings of separation from God. It leads to heartbreak in your marriage and family. It leads to feelings of oppression in your job. It makes you feel hopeless and helpless. And it doesn’t stop with you! The void left by the destructive forces of evil in this world is destroying homes, families and marriages everywhere. And it is attacking God’s church at a frenetic pace ... subtly seeking to consume God’s army of believers until the church is barely recognizable from the world.
But it doesn’t have to be this way! God has given us all we need to rebuild the bridge in His Word, and today, I want to share these life-changing “Biblical Planks” with you. It is my prayer that as you, my Platinum Covenant Partner, open your heart to His revolutionary message, you will feel a fresh anointing from God, a new oneness with Him, as you work to lay these planks of restoration and healing in your life and in the lives of your loved ones.
Plank #1: Salvation
In recent years the church has been about the business of rewriting the unadulterated Word of God. Some divinity schools and their elitist scholars have deflated the born-again salvation experience to an insignificant speck in their philosophical dissertations. But the Bible still says, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Salvation is a response drawn from sincere recognition of our sin and unworthiness. If it’s authentic, it leads to a passionate desire to know, seek and follow Jesus. If your salvation is sure, lay this important plank in the lives of your loved ones and friends.
Plank #2: Healing
The Bible declares, “With his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5). Let us take God at His Word! Over the years, Satan has whispered his lies into the hearts of men. We have tried to dilute the healing power of God’s Word by claiming that this declaration concerns only spiritual healing, not physical healing. But the Jesus who sits at the right hand of the Father interceding on our behalf is the same Jesus who was moved with compassion to heal the sick while He walked this earth. To experience God’s healing nature, you must first come into His presence, prepared and expectant. The atmosphere of expectancy is the birthplace of miracles. The main reason people do not experience healing today is because no one will pray for them and expect a miracle. Build your bridge of healing by asking God to heal you, your family and loved ones and then wait in expectancy for your miracle to come.
Plank #3: Freedom through deliverance
The doctrine of deliverance has been replaced by self-help groups and counseling sessions that tap-dance around the root of the problem — the devil. The spoken Word of Jesus had the power to drive out the forces of darkness 2,000 years ago, and it holds the same power today. Trust it! When you speak the Word of God for deliverance in your life — or the life of your loved one — with sincerity, boldness and endurance, the shackles and chains of bondage can be destroyed.
Plank #4: Holiness
We must refuse to co-exist with compromise. To bring about the fullness of God’s end-time revival we must rend, purify and sanctify our hearts, glorifying the Living God in all manner of prayer and praise with all boldness. Holy living is godly living. It is seeking first God’s Will and His Way and following in the path of righteousness ... at work, at home, in your marriage, with your children, in your “extra-curricular” activities and as you relate to others. God must be first and foremost in your life and exalting Him must be your driving passion.
When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, man's access to God was severed. But Jesus took the wood of His own cross and fashioned a bridge to span the gulf of sin. And that is when Satan began his work of undermining the foundation of the Word of God and pulling that bridge apart, piece by piece ... life by life. The day has come for us to start pointing our finger in the devil’s face and command him to STOP!
Joshua, with God’s help, we must work together to repair and restore the bridge once and for all!

JOSHUA TIME 450

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, this Prophet’s Chamber is a place where I can share teaching and discipleship from God’s heart — for my treasured Platinum Covenant Partners. It is my prayer that every time you enter this Chamber with your spirit open and ready to receive from Him, God will pour out His anointing into every area of your life. Your spirit will grow and be strengthened until you are a mighty spiritual warrior! May the Lord guide you by His Holy Spirit as you mine the treasures of His holy Word.
Prophetic Word: SILENT NO MORE!
If you think faith-filled believers are too outspoken in America today, consider this commentary by Martin Niemoeller, a Lutheran pastor in Germany prior to World War II:
“ In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Jewish. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Finally, they came for me, but there was no one left to speak up.”
, it is time for us as Christians to rise up, speak up and let our voices be heard.
Neimoeller’s rebellious sermons angered Adolph Hitler, who had him arrested in 1937. He was sentenced to seven months in prison. Then Hitler ordered him arrested again, and he spent the next seven years in concentration camps..
Concentration camps held unspeakable horrors for the victims of Hitler’s reign of hate. More than 11 million men, women and children died in fear and torment ... while their neighbors remained silent.
If you think something like that can’t happen in America, think again. Silence affirms wrong behavior. And those who live quietly with perversion long enough start to think it is normal.
That is why I have determined to be SILENT NO MORE!
And I challenge you to do the same ... ... To speak the truth of God to those who know only the answers of this secular age.
, it is our privilege and our biblical duty to stand up and speak out:“Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice? She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city” (Proverbs 8:1-3 NKJV).
It’s time to cry out!
We’ve come to a moment in history when the possibilities for this nation are so great, when the crises in this nation are so pressing and when the voices of wisdom in this nation seem so few that not to speak would be the violation of a sacred trust.We must cry out for our nation to return to its founding values ... a land where faith is vibrant, moral boundaries are preserved, life is valued and schools and courts respect personal liberties.
God has placed in my spirit a vision for action ... with you in mind. He has given me a revelation of truth for this day that will empower you, guide you to preserve religious freedom and liberty for your children and grandchildren.
SPEAK WITH KNOWLEDGE — Learn the facts and educate yourself on the crucial issues of today — abortion, same-sex marriage, Internet pornography, judicial tyranny and more. You need to know what you are dealing with ... and what your children and grandchildren are facing.
SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY — Get the Word for God’s perspective on the challenges of today’s society. Read daily for the biblical and historical foundation you need.
SPEAK WITH WISDOM — Perfect wisdom only comes from prayer and fasting. Talk with God every single day. Pray for wisdom ... pray for your children and grandchildren ... pray for our nation’s leaders ... and pray for the future of America.
SPEAK WITH ACTION — Do not stand idly by spouting complaints. Get in the trenches and take action! Be involved in your local government and school district. Write your legislators when you have a concern. We must act. And we must act wisely.
More than at any other time in history, the eyes of America are focused on you as a follower of Christ. You must be prepared to speak for morality, truth and righteousness — both with your words and with your actions. BE SILENT NO MORE!
, this is simply not an option. Remember, if we are quiet too long, we may not be able to speak out at all.

JOSHUA TIME 449

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, untold millions of people are being deceived, so God has laid on my heart to give you a solid teaching on the reality of Jesus Christ. As a devoted follower of our Lord and Savior, at this time when our faith is under attack, you must be prepared to defend the TRUTH. This teaching is my call to arms for you to stand with me and expose the deceit of The Da Vinci Code. I pray that you will know how to answer the questions of your loved ones who may view this movie and cannot tell the difference between truth and fiction.
This Month’s Prophetic Word:EXPOSE THE DECEIT OF THE DA VINCI CODE!
God wants me to help you set the record straight on one of the greatest deceptions facing the body of Christ today. The soon-to-be-released motion picture The Da Vinci Code and the best-selling book of the same name are presenting heresies as facts regarding our Lord. Unaware Christians who are not rooted and grounded in the Word of God cannot discern the difference between truth and fiction, and they are asking the question: Could all this be true?
I am drawing a line in the sand to get you the truth. As my Platinum Covenant Partner, I want to give you the historical validity of Jesus, and I want you to remember it and share it. The book and motion picture present as fact several heresies regarding our Lord, and I am going to set the record straight:
MARY MAGDALENE MARRIED TO JESUS! The Da Vinci Code revisits an ancient heresy: Jesus did not die on the cross, but survived to marry His lover, Mary Magdalene. This is anti-biblical! There is no indication in the Bible or in historical documents that Jesus Christ was ever married.
MARY MAGDALENE AND JESUS HAD CHILDREN WHO BECAME THE ROYAL LINE OF FRANCE! Again, this is totally anti-biblical and is in no way factual. There is nothing in history that could possibly indicate that this is true. Yet in the movie, it is presented as a fact.
THESE "FACTS" HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR CENTURIES AND HIDDEN BY THE CHURCH! The movie purports an ancient and secret guard has ruthlessly killed to cover up these "facts" so Christianity would not be destroyed. This is ridiculous!!
The first PROOF I want to give you of the facts about the Lord Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection is the testimony of eye witnesses who saw the Savior die and met Him after His resurrection.
The Apostle Peter is one of them, and He said, "For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty" (2 Peter 1:16).
The second PROOF comes not from what the eyewitnesses saw, but from what they HEARD. We have direct testimony of the disciples hearing the voice of the Father, speaking plainly as to who Jesus is.
"And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount" (2 Peter 1:18). This testimony is from the Apostle Peter, who was with the Lord on the Mount of Transfiguration.
And the third PROOF is THE PROPHECIES FULFILLED IN JESUS!
Again, the Apostle Peter reminds us, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts" (2 Peter 1:19).
Jesus confirmed by the Spirit the prophecies of the Old Testament ... and on the Mount of Transfiguration, He was joined by Moses and Elijah as representatives of the law and the prophets. We have eyewitness accounts of the Apostles to these truths.
Please share these truths with your friends and family, so they will know the truth of our Lord and make it known. It is critical for you and me to stand in defense of our faith ... today more than ever! Thank you for being my Breakthrough Platinum Covenant Partner and for helping me unmask THE DA VINCI CODE DECEIT!

Are you looking for a change in your life? Freedom in your finances? Hope in your marriage? Joy in your home? Fulfillment in your heart? God wants me to tell you revival can burst forth in your life! You can be a victor! You can gain dominion over the sins that defeat you ... the temptations that control you ... the pain that delays you ... the sorrow that grabs hold of you. Here’s how:
February's Prophetic Word: EXPERIENCE A HOLY GHOST REVIVAL

You can find your conquering spirit and, with the help of the Holy Spirit, cause it to arise and defeat the hindrances to revival in your heart.

He cannot use you if you cower in the corner, waiting for God to do a work, yet never willing to play your part in the show. Instead, He wants you to be bold ... passionate ... forthright.
God is preparing you, just like He prepared Esther and Mordecai, to do great things for Him. A revival is in store for you as you declare, “It’s showtime!” and claim God’s miraculous promises and blessings for your life.
Don’t wait! Get started to today. Study God’s Word. Lean on Him. Ignite the passion in your heart for the work of the Lord. Claim victory over your finances ... your health ... your relationships ... AND WATCH THE BLESSINGS RAIN DOWN!

JOSHUA TIME 447

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, right now at Breakthrough we are gearing up for one of the most intense seasons of blessing and miracles that you can imagine — Resurrection Seed. This is our Easter tradition of giving our best to God in honor of the way He gave His best on Calvary. But this year, the Almighty has revealed to me: we are about to come under a flood-tide of blessings so intense even unbelievers will stand back and marvel at what the Lord has done for us! And I want you, my Breakthrough Platinum Covenant Partner, to be standing right beside me when that flood of miracles comes crashing down on us. So get ready ... It’s Showtime!
This Month’s Prophetic Word:IT’S YOUR TIME TO SHINE!!!
God has revealed this important promise to me for each Breakthrough Platinum Covenant Partner who puts themselves in a strategic position of opportunity to receive His blessings in the coming Easter season ... the promise of Isaiah 60:1-6:
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.
Can you feel it? This Scripture passage means IT’S SHOWTIME for you and me — the curtain is about to go up on the scene of the greatest blessings and miracles you can imagine in your entire life! Count down with me the moments before you are hit with the spotlight because you had better be ready to shine:
5 God is going to FIX you!
The Bible says God gave His church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers for the perfecting of the saints (Ephesians 4:11). What does perfecting mean? It means fixing you! Before that spotlight hits, you have to be all fixed up to shine God’s glory!
4 God is going to FIT you!
You are about to walk onto the stage of your neighborhood and shine for Jesus, so He is going to clothe you in the splendor of His holiness. You are going to wear His anointing like a garment, but you must have a fitting, just like a new suit. He is going to peel off every ill-fitting garment of sin, addiction, profanity — and He is going to fit you up with a suit of His righteousness!
3 God is going to SCRIPT you.
Before you walk out on that supernatural stage of His abundance, He wants you to know your lines! You feel sick in your body, but the script says “by His stripes you are healed.” You feel weak in your spirit, but the script says you have “power, love and a sound mind.”
God wants you to walk and talk and act like the star of the show, so you must know your lines! You have to follow the script.
2 God is going to rehearse you.
When you walk onto that stage, you better look like you belong there! God wants you to start practicing right now: You are the head and not the tail! You will lend and not borrow. Get ready — when the spotlight hits you, you better have your Miss America walk down pat. Practice, practice, practice.
1 GOD IS GOING TO SHOW YOU OFF!
When the curtain rises on the scene of your supernatural blessing, you are going to glitter in the spotlight of God’s miracle promises as they overflow on you — to such an extent that your friends and neighbors, plus visitors from all over, will be drawn to you like a magnet and be forced to praise God with you because there is no other explanation for this supernatural bounty.
You are His beloved child, and what do we do with our children as human parents? We dress them up, comb their hair, practice their lines with them — then we show them off. God is about to show you off as you stand under his miracle flood-tide of blessings and overabundance. So get ready, because ...
IT’S SHOWTIME!!!

JOSHUA TIME 446

Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, if you have ever traveled through the desert, you know how dry, dusty and parched the land can be ... sometimes it looks as if rain may never fall there. If you have ever felt like a desert in your spiritual, financial or family life with no healing rains coming to your rescue, I want you to take heart! The nourishing rain of God is about to fall! And my prophetic word for you is Let It Rain!
This Month’s Prophetic Word:LET IT RAIN!!!
It looks like rain ... and as my devoted Partner, I am praying that through this teaching you will learn how God’s blessing, provision and healing rain can bring superabundance to you. Joel 2:24-26 is a perfect picture of the kind of life you can lead when God’s healing rain waters the barren places in your life.
“And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.”
God’s rain - the water of His Word - is the key to this life of superabundance.
Water in the Bible symbolizes the Word of God. Just as every living being on this planet requires physical water for continued existence, God’s people require His spiritual water for His supernatural provision. God says in Isaiah 55:10-11:
“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
God’s rain is His Word, and it cannot return to Him void. But how does it return to Him at all? Job 36:27 says, “For He maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof.” This gives you three important concepts about God’s rain, His living water, His Word:
He gives it to us in small droplets, because otherwise we could not handle it. Just as a raging flood of physical water would be too much for us to control, a deluge of the living Word would be beyond our comprehension.
The rain of God falls in accordance with “the vapor thereof.” This is key: Where vapor arises from the earth to the heavens, rain can be produced. If the ground is dry, there is no moisture to evaporate, so clouds cannot form. If there is no vapor, there is no rain.
Vapor is produced by HEAT! The cooling rain we desire cannot come about unless the moisture is super-heated enough to rise as vapor. Do you see where I am going here?
HEAT MAKES THE RAIN: FIRE MAKES VAPOR AND VAPOR MAKES RAIN!
John the Baptist said in Matthew 3:11, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. But He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”
To be baptized with the Holy Ghost, you first have to be saved — baptized with water. The fire of the Holy Ghost turns that water of the Word into vapor, which can return to heaven. Job 36:27 and the laws of physics say vapor going up to heaven is going to come down as rain —
IT IS THE LATTER RAIN OF BLESSING PREDICTED IN JOEL 2:23-27!!!
Did you make it there with me? Do you see how the rain of God flows down with a torrent of blessing, “according to the vapor thereof”? Hosea 6:3 says, “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.”
The latter and former rain! In Joel 2:23-27, those promised rains bring:
Abundance - Joel 2:24, an intense blessing of provision for you and your family!
Restoration - Joel 2:25, a recouping of every loss you have suffered.
Fulfillment - Joel 2:26, the Lord promises to deal wondrously with you in every way.
Renown - Joel 2:27, you will never be ashamed!
These blessings are all yours because of the torrent of latter rain God wants to unleash upon you, as you receive His Word and allow the fire of the Holy Ghost to refine you into the blessed and victorious child of God that He wants you to be.
Today, my prayer for you is this: “Heavenly Father and Holy Savior, Precious Holy Spirit, our mighty Triune God, my Platinum Covenant Partner is your beloved child and the apple of your eye. In the name of Jesus who died to save us, I speak the blessings of the former and latter rains over my Partner: Abundance, Restoration, Fulfillment, Healing and Renown. According to your Word, these will rest upon my Platinum Covenant Partner because of Your grace and faithfulness, oh Lord. Amen!”
Let it rain in your spirit with God’s blessings of superabundance today!
