HE WILL CONSUME THE RIVER ENTIRE: The prophet Silvana speaks of evil


I saw myself as though I were walking toward a wall. I looked back and I saw where I was coming from. I was coming from the Father, where I was at His side when He began to show me evil. I saw as He showed why He put a guardian at the tree of the knowledge of evil (and good) so that we would not be destroyed by it. The Father wanted to show us evil Himself from the safety of His side. The guardian of the tree was named Lucifer. Then I came a farther distance, and He showed me a river flowing outside the gates of Heaven. The river was dark and powerful and deep. I looked at the river and I saw that it existed as a shadow exists. The tree is there made by God. The shadow is there, because the tree is there. God made the tree and the sun, but the shadow exists without being made. The river is made of shadows. It is powerful, and it calls from the opposite of the Father. The river is evil itself.

Then I saw Satan, clothed in white, walking the pathways of Heaven. He is a spiritual being, with great power, who was created to help the Father by being a coordinator over the earth, just as the angels were created to help the Father with mankind. I saw his head bowed, his brow furrowed, thinking and thinking. I saw that he was dissatisfied with the Father. I saw that he was thinking thoughts that were coming from self. Heaven is pure. His thoughts were not pure but he was free to think whatever he would think, he had not done anything wrong. I saw Satan quicken his steps and walk toward the edges of Heaven. He was listening to a call he heard from the distance; the sound of a river flowing. The sound of a power he had never heard before, power outside the presence of the Father.

Then I was taken back to the shore of the river. I saw Satan coming over the bank. He came to the shore and he stood looking at the dark waters flowing. What was in his heart was in the river before him, but was unformed in his mind. I couldn't tell in time reference how long he stayed there, staring into the river, but I know that he returned to the river many times. He who is a free being, made by God, able to leave Heaven to see beyond, came and sat by the water, very still, staring into it.

The more he went there, the harder he became, for the presence of evil leaves a mark, and the angrier he became at supposed wrongs done to him. Self rose like a mountain out of the river. Many times Satan came and contemplated there, and never did he leave that shore unchanged. And then he drank from the river. His journeys to the river were complete.

Evil is what the Father is showing. Evil transforms; it is the polar opposite of good. There is nothing to stand in the way of evil, but good. Once a choice is made for evil, damage is done, great damage is done. So Satan left the river to go to the tree where he knew great secrets resided. The tree guarded by Lucifer, set by the Father to help mankind understand that evil exists, and that good exists, and to teach us that we have the freedom to make the choice between the two. Evil is too powerful for man to battle alone. Satan walked paths of light and beauty, he looked in the eyes of the One who made him, and then his thoughts led him away from the light, and evil helped him hate the light. So then he was transformed from what he once was, what he was created to be. So, he went to the tree to talk with the one who was there to obey God and guard the tree.

What was specifically said between the two was not shown to me, but as the Father reveals, Lucifer was persuaded that evil was good, and that power is the most important thing. Satan reasoned with Lucifer: "God is powerful, we are powerful, and evil is powerful. There is another power equal to God".

The aftermath we know. Lucifer was full of high opinions of himself because he was beautiful and shining like the morning light. Lucifer was one of a brotherhood of three: Gabriel, Michael, and himself. He listened to Satan, who had drunk from the river, and Satan spoke against the Father. Satan persuaded Lucifer to resent being a servant to man, and then to resent the Father for placing him in such a "lowly" (repugnant) position.The Father, who created them and loved them, was grieved that their freedom had led them away from the light and away from His heart. All who were with Lucifer were persuaded by him that Satan was right and they themselves were not appreciated, and so a third of the angels fell. Angels were created and divided into thirds: a third with Gabriel, a third with Michael, and a third with Lucifer. Thus happened the first and last war in Heaven, and the light prevailed. Heaven is without darkness and without evil and will always be so.

So I came away from the tree, along the road the Father was taking me, and I came away from the falling away in Heaven. What is evil? What happens to man in the grip of it? With evil, self and sin combine, such as happened with Lucifer, and then evil flows towards the darkness in man where he is, away from the Father. Satan and Lucifer, thrown down on the earth, are still warring with the Father. Along the road of time, I saw acts from Lucifer and Satan, acts of evil, acts from man, all horrifying. The Father showed me evil, death, murder, suicide, and there are not enough tears to match the grief they cause in the earth.

The Father and I continued to move along time, watching the river flow, until the Father brought me to another river that was flowing from Heaven to earth; a river to stand against evil. The river was blood and the blood was from Jesus, who is the highest good of all. There is a powerful, unstoppable river of blood which will defeat evil. And now the whole earth is gripped in a war against evil itself, as we see evil rage across the world, intent on the bloodshed of the innocent.

So I saw myself come up to the wall, with my nose pressed against it. And then I felt myself stepping sideways to the right until I was seeing a path in front of me. It seems that the path is foggy, I can't see ahead yet. But the Father spoke to me then, and He said that it was time to look the enemy in the face, time to see what is there. Time to face the fear he inspires, which he loves to inflict on mankind. Time to see what his power is, this enemy of the Father. Time to look into the eyes of Satan, the one who was not himself deceived into falling, but who made his choice for evil freely. Fallen man chooses self over everything, as Satan and Lucifer and all who are with them did. Man is the reason a river of blood flowed from the heart of the Father. And now it is mankind who must face evil, with blood covering them, and make the choice between good and evil, and take a stand against evil forever.

At the end of this journey that I am on with the Father, I know that there is a destination, which is the shores of the lake of fire. I know that the evil river will flow there, and I know there is an altar on that shore, made by God. The Father Himself will take His place there, when all the choices have been made, and He will allow the river to flow over Him. And He, our God, will consume the river entire.

Thank You, Father. All our love is for You.

THE FATHER SPEAKS OF THE SITUATION IN ISRAEL


The Father was speaking of Israel today, and we are praying for them, as we know you must be also. He showed that it is His will for them to withdraw from Gaza, because one day there will be a dual state there, but this is very hard for many Jews to accept or believe. They cannot understand how the Father could possibly have them give up their land, and they do not believe that He wants them to do so. They should ask Him, because He will tell them that they need to do so. He said today that it is like it was in Jeremiah's day, when that prophet spoke for Him and said that the Jews should surrender to Nebuchadnezzar's forces. They did not believe him. The Father told Jeremiah to take a deed to his land and safeguard it, to show the people that they would indeed return to their land, but the only way to get there was to surrender. (Jeremiah 32) Those who did not surrender would be killed and those who did surrender would be carried off in captivity, but they would be watched over by the Father and eventually return, which is exactly what happened.

The Father said also that this is also as it was in Jesus' day, when many Jews were zealots. Zealots believed that Rome should not be in Israel and that the Father wanted to rescue them from this situation. They looked for a Messiah to save them from Rome's occupation of Israel. However, this was not the plan of the Father. Zealots at that time did not know His will, but they assumed that they did and they believed with all their hearts that God would not want the cruelty of foreign Rome to have power over them.

The exact same situation exists today, where the Father shows that the settlers should withdraw from Gaza. Many Jews and Christians do not realize what the will of the Father is in concerning the withdrawal. The Rose Garden vision that President GW Bush laid out in 2002 is from the Holy Spirit. At the end there will be two states in Israel: Jewish and Palestinian. There will eventually be war between Israel and the Palestinians and their supporters, and the survival of the Jews will depend upon the wall, which the Father wants Israel to finish building. Some people assume that God would not want nor allow the Palestinians to establish themselves in Israel, but they are mistaken. One time in speaking of the Palestinians, Jesus said, "My cousins". These descendants of Abraham, through Isaac and through Ishmael, will one day have peace between them, as the Father sees. In Jeremiah's day the people did not understand the will of the Father. They should have believed the prophet Jeremiah when he told them what the Father showed him, or they should have asked the Father themselves. Because what was being said to them was contrary to what they wanted, and contrary to what they thought the Father wanted, they refused to believe it.

It is hard to blame the settlers for their strong feelings. They lived and worked and established themselves in the midst of terrorist threat. Benjamin Netanyahu wrote a strong article in which he outlines the reasons why he resigned in protest from Prime Minister Sharon's government because of the withdrawal. He warned that in the past there have been "peace for land" deals, but that this is a "land for nothing" agreement. The Palestinians get the land, but what does Israel get? He also pointed out that the wall is not finished and that the Gaza Strip offers access to a port on the Mediterranean Sea, which will give the Palestinians the ability to receive weapons unnoticed from foreign nations, such as Syria. His arguments are powerful and well thought out, and in the natural realm they make great sense. However, the Father sees the future and He knows what is coming. It is He who is at war with Satan, the enemy of the whole world, and the war over Israel is the final one that will lead to Jesus' return. The Father knows best what needs to be done, and one thing that must be done is the completion of the wall, and the withdrawal of Israelis behind it. It will save their lives in the end, if they persevere in standing against the onslaught that comes against them, and if they repent of their long rejection of God's Son, and ask God for help in Jesus' name, the Messiah who truly can save them. (And has already saved them from their sin, though they do not yet acknowledge it.)

Of course the enemy is pushing strongly for violence and unrest among the Jews. It is like a tinderbox in the region, with the potential for fire all around. Satan is particularly eager for Israeli on Israeli violence. We are praying earnestly for the Jews to resist this, and for the Holy Spirit to pour oil on the troubled waters. He can help them, if they will respond. The demons that we saw in Israel earlier this year, those strongmen who are low to the ground, are moving among the people, inciting to anger and violence, but the people should resist the feelings and anger which is stirred up, and not raise violent hands one to another.

After watching the news, and seeing in the Spirit about Israel and about Satan's plans and movements, I felt greatly concerned about the whole situation, and I went to the Father. I said to Him, "I am worried", He reached out, in the Spirit, and He put His hand gently on my face and cradled my cheek. "Don't worry", He said.

Then He showed me more from His perspective on the situation: He pointed out that the number 17 (August 17: the legal deadline for the withdrawal) signifies a beginning. The Father said, "It is the beginning of the end". This is the beginning of the Father's final fight with Satan that will lead to Satan's capture and confinement for the thousand years that has been foretold by the Holy Spirit by the Holy Scriptures.

In the Spirit, I saw a hook to ensnare Satan, which will lead him on the path that leads to the eventual end. The bait on the hook (which opens doors) was the Gaza territory. The hook led to Jerusalem and the battle for that city. Satan has said "Jerusalem is mine", but the Holy Spirit answers firmly, "Jerusalem is eternal". (He adds that it is Mecca which will be no more.) Jerusalem is eternal for it is above, as the Scriptures show, yet Jesus will return with that heavenly city when He comes to deliver Israel and the world from Satan's hand. The natural city may be destroyed, but the eternal city cannot be harmed by Satan and his forces, whether spiritual or deceived ranks of mankind.

The Father also showed the following: Why have Jews universally refused to return to their Father, who is their God? Why does He not speak to them as He spoke to Abraham and Moses and the prophets? Why have they placed themselves in the camp of Satan, who is the god of their enemies? Because of their ongoing, determined rejection of Jesus. They teach their children to reject Jesus, just as those of Islam teach against Jesus and raise their children to reject Him. How can the Father get them out of the camp of Satan and cause them to return to Him, who is their Creator and who views them as the Apple of His Eye?

What is dear to the heart of the Jew and what more than anything in existence could reach them? What is sacred and dear to the heart of every Jew is the city of Jerusalem, the city of David. When that city is struck, as eventually it will be, then will they be pierced, even as Jesus was pierced. The veil over their eyes will be ripped, from top to bottom, like the veil in the temple when Jesus died, and if they respond by crying out to God, He will help them. He will say to them, "I will deliver you from your enemies, but you must no longer reject My Son, your Messiah." When they call out to Him in Jesus' name, Jesus will return to the earth and Satan will be bound.

The Father said that it has become like it was in the time of Jesus' ministry on earth. The Father and Satan are engaged in a great war over mankind, over good and evil, and over Israel. The war will not end until Satan is captured and mankind at last has freedom from that malevolent power who became the god of this world and filled this world with his evil actions. The Father will not draw back. He is with us and will remain to help us until the very end. In a sense, it is the Father's ministry in the earth today. A suggestion to you from an apostle: re-read THE FATHER SPEAKS OF THE WAR ON TERROR AND EVIL. Reading this will remind you of the heart of the Father, and put you on the same page as He is. Then, talk to Him about what is in those powerful prophecies, which came through His prophet in the United States, Silvana Lupetti, and get accustomed to hearing His voice to you. Then, talk to Him of the powerful events on the earth, so you can see that He is active on our behalf, though Satan is determined to kill and destroy and deceive. The great calling away will not come until Jerusalem and Rome have been struck, and those who are taken will be those who hear Jesus voice, and love Him and obey His will. They are those who are acting as a Bride to the Groom who always heard the Father and did His will, even to the point of death.

Father, we come to You in Jesus' name. Please do not let there be terrible bloodshed on the 17th and as the withdrawal continues. Send your powerful Holy Spirit to help the settlers, who feel so deeply the injustice in being forced to move. Do not let the enemy have the death that he desires. Please send swiftly to Israel the prophet with the spirit of Stephen who will speak strong and true words from You. Help the settlers. Show them the wisdom in withdrawal and in two states, and help them with their legitimate feelings of dismay. We know that You honor their courage and fortitude, yet now is the time to be led by You and what You see is right. God bless Israel, and God bless all who love Your Son, our beloved Bridegroom, Jesus.

Packet sent to Brother Udeme and Brother Joseph in Ghana

Here are two more pictures from Brother Joseph and the Believers with him. Brother Udeme is in the first picture.



We sent a packet of pictures to them last week. We sent them 350 Ewe Tracts of JESUS IS ALIVE AND KNOWS YOUR NAME and some English ones, plus 350 stringed pictures, and 650 smaller wallet sized pictures, plus some 8x10s and DVDs of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, and a copy of the TNIV (Today's New International Version). Here is a picture of the packet we sent:

Here is the letter we sent to them with the packet. I know you all must join us with love for these brothers and sisters who love Jesus and desire to please Him with their lives. They have suffered, in Togo and now in Ghana, and we ask Jesus daily for provision for them.
As we were preparing to mail the packet, the Father said to Felicia that there will be a harvest for Him from this mailing to Ghana. Thank you, Father.
