In our last School of Higher Learning
gathering on March 18, 2012. In that meeting reference was made to the spirit
of David appearing in the government of this nation, and also to Daniel. I
pointed out the fact that Daniel had a vision to describe and interpret the
dream of Nebuchadnezzar.
My emphasis was on “visions”
because I believe this is one of the strategic ways that God is going to
infiltrate the government of this nation. It is happening right now. The reason
I felt compelled to bring this to your attention now is because I just received
another public email from Kim Clement which read, “I feel like I am
standing like Daniel praying for the nation.” Kim then gives a brief
excerpt about a vision he had. Of course it caught my attention. I have always
found the prophetic ministry very fascinating. Not just because of my own
personal love for it, but because it is so diverse. It’s like a spiritual
Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor: the flavors are many.
Yesterday, March 22, 2012, I was in
this intense place of the spirit when all of a sudden I saw a portion of a news
headline that read, “Two dead: Kabar…” and I was suddenly
interrupted by a loud noise, which after becoming fully aware, turned out to be
the office phone. I was certain I had turned it off. Normally I am able to
block these things out, but this was not the case this time. As you can
probably imagine, I was very upset not being able to read the complete news
headline. I thought, “Kabar?” I have never heard of such a word. So, I did what
any other spiritual individual would do in a moment like this, I went to the
second all-knowing; Google.
Turns out that “kabar” could be one
of three things:
A fighting knife issued to USA
Marine Corps soldiers from 1942. It is also a colloquial nickname for the
American 1219C2 USMC fighting knife. It could be a Turkish tribal confederation
who lived in the vicinity of Poltava
in the 9th century. They consisted of three Khazar tribes who
rebelled against Khazar Khaganate sometime in the 9th century.
Lastly, it could be a new type of grape which came into production in Hungary
in 2006.
Given the fact that the headline
began with “Two dead”, I doubt that it was a grape, unless they were very bad
grapes. Please don’t let my humor minimize the weightiness of what I saw. It’s
just that a partial vision like this, outside of a greater revelation, is in
the same neighborhood of only seeing the first three letters of a license
plate. Nonetheless, I have a strong sense that the symbol of “kabar” is nothing
short of a spirit of death. Yes, I know it appears that we have a name for
every spirit out there, but I assure you this is worthy of your attention. This
is a call to stand against this spirit of death, this spirit of Kabar, which is
nothing less than a political spirit trying to undermine the government of God
in this nation.
Of course I will continue to lean
into the Lord for the full meaning of what I saw. However, make no mistake;
there is indeed an intense override that is pressing to reveal itself in this
nation. As I write this I find myself in this odd place of serious humor. I was
just hearing the lyrics of “Who let the dogs out.” Honestly, that’s not my song
of choice. Yet, it somehow depicts the hour we are in. The dogs from hell have
been loosed and they are determined to do their worst damage. However, there’s
no need to fear, “Wonder Dog” is here. Hell’s best day will still be put
asunder by the wonder of heaven on earth.
I am now seeing that what has
happened is already done. In other words, the damage has already been done, it
just hasn’t appeared yet. Nonetheless, what the enemy has already done behind
the scenes, behind the governmental veil of this nation, has already been
defeated. In the end, no weapon formed against the people of God will prosper.
Therefore, let me encourage you that no matter what transpires over the coming
days, keep your eyes on the intended goal of heaven on earth. Because of
faithful and enduring people like you, the kingdom of God
is becoming more and more apparent everyday. Now the spirit of Daniel is
quickly emerging. I know you understand that I am not referring to the literal
person of Daniel, but the realm of prophetic vision that was operating in his
life. This is one of the many keys of heaven that God is using to set this nation
and others on their intended course.

Editor’s note: I’ve taken the liberty of slightly editing
(and giving a title to) Michael Danforth’s recent public newsletter. I believe
it is appropriate content for this publication. While not written as a public
prophetic word, it has value as such; it encourages, informs & counsels a
prophetic people. I also rather enjoy the transparency he models in describing
the process he goes through in hearing God’s voice.
