In the summer of 1988 God began doing a number of amazing things in my life. At that time I heard the Lord speaking to me for the first time. In that season, God called me to the ministry, first told me about the coming revival on the earth, and began to talk to me about the “generation of the sons of Eli.”
As you may recall, Eli was the high priest who raised the prophet Samuel. His sons took the best of every offering, and freely took advantage of the women who came to the Tabernacle. Eli refused to discipline them, and God cursed his family. They all died in one day. You can read the details in I Samuel 3 and 4. In the 21 years since 1988, God has spoken to me many times about the sons of Eli, and the generation of leaders who have chosen man’s ways over God’s. In 2008 God gave me a very detailed word about the coming few years. In it, the Lord told me that the generation of the sons of Eli were about to be destroyed, that a great shaking was coming, and that everything that can be shaken would be. The Lord gave me many details about the elections of last year, the diminishing importance of the Clintons, the emergence of a “black horse” in August, and the upheaval in the financial realm. The Lord said that the end of the generation of the sons of Eli would be the death of Edward Kennedy, and that his death would release something in Massachusetts and New England.
I have watched over the past year as these words have been fulfilled–Ted Kennedy’s illness was made public the day after I received this word.
Tuesday morning, as I was on the bus going into Boston, the Lord told me that he was going to give me a sign before bed that his promises are being fulfilled. God blessed me several ways on Tuesday, but I didn’t think anything was unusual. I went to bed wondering if I was crazy, hearing voices again. . .
Wednesday morning I was pouring my coffee when Lyn told me the news. 21 years is a long time to wait for something. I encourage you to pay attention, God is on the move and things are about to get interesting. You can read the whole word here.
Do not be surprised if other shifts begin happening in the coming weeks.
