The Judgment of the Fires in California & Northwest Demand a Response – Repent!
by JRP Ministry Staff on 09/25/20
In a vision I saw the Lord watching the wildfires. I could see the flames and thick billowing smoke. I related this on a video dated September 16, 2020 that can be seen here à Judgment Demands A Response.
He turned around to me with tears in His eyes saying, “They are not responding.” I can say emphatically that the wildfires in California are indeed judgment from the Lord that He told us would come in a prophetic word I released on June 11, 2020. In that word, the Lord said, “You have seen fires, but you haven’t seen anything yet.”
The California & Oregon fires are the largest in either states’ history. California now reports that 26 lives have been lost, with a total of 8,000+ wildfires have burned over 3.6 million acres (26 times more than during the same time period in 2019) and 6900+ structures have been lost. Five of the current fires are in the top six fires in California recorded history. As of September 10, Gov. Kate Brown of Oregon reported that 900,000 acres had been burned. She said that the normal average in a year is 500,000 acres in a single year. That translates to an 80% increase.
Does all of this qualify for what the Lord said, “You haven’t seen anything yet”? Without a doubt.
Therefore, what is the response the Lord is looking for? Clearly firefighters are responding to the fires, but what about the citizens of California and Oregon? Moreover, what is the Church doing to respond to the judgment that has fallen upon their states? Are they repenting or just praying that the Lord would intervene with more favorable weather conditions?
The Lord has been very clear about His plan and His purpose regarding releasing judgment against California and the nation. He will not relent until there is repentance across this country. He will have righteousness in America and He will not stop pouring out His wrath and vengeance until we turn, cry out for mercy AND repent.
Church, when will you face the truth that judgment has been and continues to be poured out on this country? Church leaders, when will you stop telling your people that, “…everything is going to be alright”? It is time to stop your messages of denial. If there isn’t widespread repentance in the Church and in America, the intensity of judgment will only increase. More severe judgment is coming! When will you turn Church and repent of not listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit?! Hear the words of the Lord through the prophet Jeremiah –
Jeremiah 7:20–24 (NASB95)
20Therefore thus says the Lord God,
“Behold, My anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on
beast and on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will
burn and not be quenched.” 21Thus says the Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat
flesh. 22“For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I
brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings and
sacrifices. 23“But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will
be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which
I command you, that it may be well with you.’ 24“Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but
walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and
went backward and not forward.
Church, you are moving backward at full speed! You are not on the cutting edge; you are dull of hearing and refuse to hear and obey the voice of the Holy Spirit. You are full of confusion and America is suffering because of it. When will you turn Church leaders? When will you learn?
