FLORIDA HURRICANES -prophecies

Florida. Put together, they certainly command our attention.

(1) ROBERT HOLMES (-StormHarvest Ministries):
Back in 1998, Robert Holmes was speaking at a church
camp in Florida (Fort Lauderdale).
During those meetings he prophesied that the Lord would
"Send hurricanes against the fort in Florida and there shall
be a fire unprecedented in the earth as a sign".
Just what "The Fort" meant, we were not sure. Florida has
9 coastal forts and 6 interior forts, as well as three cities
with fort in their names.
During those meetings, God once again came and said
"The Fort is sedative" and several scriptures came to mind:
- Ezekiel 13:14 in which Ezekiel speaks of the
complacency of the people in Israel. Believing they had
protection, had built a wall and painted it, but he would
send a storm and blow it down, spending his wrath against
her "self protection" and isolation. It particularly speaks to
the sleeping church, whose "prophets" have spoken peace,
peace when there is no peace.
Secondly Matthew 3:12 came to mind in which John the
Baptist depicts Jesus' ministry, with a winnowing fork in his
hand, cleansing the threshing floor, gathering the wheat
into the barn and burning the remainder with fire. So we
definitely felt that issues of refinement and cleansing
judgements would be seen in Florida. Such a thought was
almost alien to our friends in the USA. That God would
even think to judge America, that he might, in his mercy,
bring wrath. In fact at the time several leaders denounced
the prophecy as false.
We watched with interest from Australia as the last
elections played out and were finally won (and lost) in
Florida. Then this week, we saw with amazement the news
of the Florida hurricanes. The four hurricanes that have
struck Florida this season matched the most to hit a single
state since 1886, when Texas was battered four times.
According to Newark, California-based Risk Management
Solutions the storms have caused 25 billion dollars in
combined damage and left at least 70 dead in Florida
alone.
According to Associated Press on Sunday Sept 26:
- Charley came ashore Aug. 13 with 145-mph winds at
Charlotte Harbour, causing severe damage in southwest
and central Florida.
- Frances hit Labour Day weekend with 105-mph winds on
the Atlantic coast near Stuart, stripping roofs, smashing
boats and damaging the Kennedy Space Centre (Martin
County) just north of the Tri Country area.
- Ivan raked the western Florida Panhandle on Sept. 16
after landing on the Alabama coast with 130-mph winds.
- Jeanne made landfall late Aug. 25th, near Stuart, with
120-mph winds.
The National Weather Bureau noted that many of the
historic buildings, fortresses and places of interest have
been damaged, affecting tourism, business and travel.

(2) A "HIT" of DISCIPLINE - Rick Churder's Vision:
MODERATOR WRITES: Not long after we moved to Kansas
City earlier this year, I met a local prophet named Rick Churder.
He had been given a vision in January 2004 which he did not
understand at the time - and still has questions as to it's exact
meaning. Here is Rick's written version of what he saw:
The HAND using FLORIDA to "Discipline":
"Sometime around the middle to latter part of January, 2004, I was
shown a vision of the United States. This view of the nation was
from a position well above the surface of the earth, out over the Gulf
of Mexico, and southwest of the state of Florida. Shortly after this
vision began, I watched as an arm stretched down to the earth from
behind me and off to my right. The state of Florida was grasped by
the hand at the end of this arm.
Florida was swiftly lifted up from the earth while pulling the rest of
the United States up after it. It was as though the state of Florida
served as a handle, or grip for the purpose of lifting up the rest of
the nation. As swiftly as Florida and the rest of the nation was
lifted up, it was slammed back down in it's original position, with
the rest of the nation following suit. It was a scene not unlike
watching a rug being shaken out or "the board of education being
applied to the seat of knowledge," if you will.
As the rest of the nation came slamming back into it's original
position, I watched as shockwaves quickly traveled out from a point
in the central part of the nation. As I looked at these waves rolling
through the land in all directions, I recognized that they were
emanating from what appeared to be the Kansas City area. I watched
as the shockwaves reached the borders of the land, and like waves
in a pool hitting the walls of the pool, they began rebounding back
toward the point of origin. Once these waves reached their point of
origin, the vision ended."
MODERATOR AGAIN: Forgetting about the 'Kansas City' section
of this vision, I feel it is very important to grasp the fact that God is
clearly using events in Florida to bring a kind of "discipline" or
"limited judgement" to the USA. Just as a wayward child may be
spanked to give correction, it appears that a very hard impact was
needed to bring something home to the nation. But will this message
be heeded?
I find it interesting that when Robert Holmes first spoke of this kind
of thing in Florida in 1998, his word was rejected and even decried
as "false", because many American Christians find it hard to believe
that God would bring these kinds of judgements upon the USA.
These people are clearly deluded. The very fact that these things
are now happening show how serious the spiritual decline in
America has become. Until such Christians wake up to what God
is trying to tell them, it is likely that such judgements will just keep
coming - getting more and more severe until this "disciplining" has
the desired effect, and the people REPENT.
Another aspect that comes into this: The central Florida region
where these hurricanes did their worst damage is home to some
of the largest and most luxurious churches in the nation, as well
as many wealthy retired Christians. It is also home to Disneyworld.
A significant correlation?
Remember, God's prophetic word to today's "lukewarm" church
is very simple. Jesus Himself spoke this to the Laodiceans:
"Those whom I love I rebuke and DISCIPLINE. So be earnest,
and REPENT." (Rev 3:19, NIV). Any prophet who is not
preaching what JESUS PREACHED to the lukewarm church
surely cannot be bringing the word of the Lord today. The King
James puts it like this: "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore and REPENT."
>From all of the above I can only conclude that this "chastening"
from God is now well underway. Are you listening, America?
God bless you all,
-Andrew Strom.
