Visions of a snake and a car falling into a trench

A prophetic Vision concerning USA/ A prophetic vision about the deceiving spirits in the churches/ Prophecy fulfilled in the Indian Parliamentary elections of 2004 /Dream on the city of sin and rainbows

Job Anbalagan

During May 2004, the Lord gave me two prophetic visions. I woke up from my sleep after seeing these terrible visions.

Vision of a snake

I was traveling in my car in a hill station which resembled my scenic home town in Kerala State, India. My attention was drawn to a road side stream. Inside the stream, I saw a small snake whirling about. As I looked into the stream, the small snake began to grow in size and then turned into a python. The water of the stream was not visible as the snake which became very gigantic occupied the whole stream. It became very powerful. Then it caught a single person and swallowed him.

Interpretation:

The hill station is typical of the hill-top spiritual experiences of the people of God. The stream is symbolical of the blessings of God being channeled into their lives. As they rejoice over the presence of God and enjoy His blessings, the Devil is bent upon getting a foothold in their lives through subtle ways. This is like the small snake in the stream. Then the Devil becomes stronger and stronger in their lives day by day after entering their lives through subtle means which are hardly perceived. The Devil identifies the weak spots in our lives and gets a foothold. He attacks mainly the marriages of His servants. His manner of working in our lives is not easily discernible. A small dose of false doctrines preached from the pulpit is enough for the Devil to deceive the people of God.

In this vision, a single man was swallowed by the powerful snake. This shows that when a child of God remains out of fellowship with the Body of Christ, he or she becomes an easy prey to the Devil. At times, the Devil deceives the people of God by giving them visions or revelations which do not fall in line with the Word. He makes them believe his doctrines.

The snake in the vision is also symbolical of the Antichrist who is becoming stranger and stronger because he is allowed by the ministers of God to roam amongst the churches of God. He is making the people of God as his captives and swallowing them. He is sowing seeds of his pernicious doctrines in the vineyards of God. He deceives and traps the ministers of God who are used by God. He whirls about freely in the stream of a servant of God who does not heed prophetic warnings. His modus operandi is to insulate the ministers of God from the ministries of apostles and prophets. He makes the people believe that the apostles and prophets do not exist today. He truncates the body of Christ by separating the victims of his attack from the Body of Christ.

The Lord taught me recently how the antichrists attack the Body of Christ and attempt to prevent the people of God from receiving the wonderful blessings of God. I cite an example here. In a popular Christian web-site visited by thousands of the people all over the world i.e. Christianity.com, some antichrists entered the streams of this ministry and started posting threads attacking many ministers of the gospel. Last week, I had posted in the prayer forum of Christianity.com a series of prayers under the caption, "Your miracle in 40 days", and exhorted the people who were in need of miracles to pray for 40 days. A dear sister in Christ took a print of that thread and circulated the same amongst her friends. Then one of the moderators sent me a message that my post was removed as it amounted to an advertisement for selling my goods/services and he drew my attention to their advertisement package. I found that the purpose of my posting that thread was fulfilled as the same was meant for that particular sister who took a print of my message.

The people of God should remain awake and find out the weak spots in their lives with the help of the apostles and prophets who are the foundation of the Church. They should come together in the Body of Christ for fellowship and prayers.

This vision shows that during these last days many ministers of God who do not remain in fellowship with the other apostolic and prophetic ministers of the Body of Christ may be overcome by the Devil or his Antichrist.

Vision of a car falling into a trench

I was seated in my car on the driver seat. To my surprise, I was not driving the car. But my friend seated on the rear seat was driving the car holding the steering that was specially provided just near the rear seat. We were traveling at a high speed. All of a sudden, our came to a sudden halt as my friend applied the brake. Across the road was a very big and deep trench which was not visible at a long distance. After we stopped our car, I saw another car coming from the opposite direction. This car could not stop before the trench. Alas, it fell into the hidden trench. Before we could haul up the car and rescue its occupants, a spate of water came into the trench track violently and swept away the car with its occupants. The trench overflowed with the flood that had strong undercurrents. The occupants of the car died and we could not retrieve the dead bodies.

Interpretation:

My friend seated on the rear seat of the car holding the steering is the blessed Holy Spirit. These days, many servants of God assume that it is only through their prayers and hard labor that they produce fruits in their vineyards for God. In the vision, the Devil dug a deep trench across the road. The Devil sets traps for them. It may be a temptation to gain popularity. It may be a temptation to covet earthly possessions. It may be a prideful heart with unwillingness to listen to other members of His Body. It may be lack of love for other ministers of God. It may be lack of love for the poor saints in the household of God.

Some time ago, I watched the ministry of a budding evangelist in India for the first time in Miracle Net T.V. Channel for India. When this servant of God laid his hands on some people, they fell down through the power of God. The T.V camera focused continuously on those scenes where the people fell down. There was no need for the makers of this television program to focus on such scenes. Let us not glory in the gifts of the Holy Spirit or in the working of the Holy Spirit through our hands. "God forbid that I should glory except in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world" (Gal.6:14).

The moment a minister thinks that he himself is driving the vehicle, he falls into the trap set by the Devil. A minister, while serving God in His vineyard, should find time to sit at His feet and examine his life and ministry. He should also seek the ministries of apostles and prophets in the Body of Christ for further guidance of the Holy Spirit. He should not assume that he is always taught by the Holy Spirit directly.

This vision shows that during these last days many ministers of God who do not heed prophetic warnings and who glory in the gifts of the Holy Spirit or in the working of the Holy Spirit through their hands are likely to fall a prey to the Devil.

A prophetic vision concerning the United States of America

Job Anbalagan

Our dear sister and our co-worker in this ministry, namely, Donna Rodriguez, after reading my message, "I saw two terrible visions" which is given above, sent me the following message in which she has shared with me a vision she had seen some days ago concerning the United States of America.

"Thank you for this message which should be a warning to us all of the subtle schemes of the enemy and his attacks against the body of Christ as he sometimes comes as an Angel of light. But we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony abiding in the True Vine and His Word (living, powerful, two-edged sword) living in us!

Brother Job, my prayer is that we may not get caught up in doctrines of demons and false teachings and all the deception that is out there. We need to keep to the Word which is Truth. Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life!

He said He would not leave us or forsake us. Thank you for being such a valuable and faithful servant and friend of our Lord Jesus Christ! May you have an open Heaven above you that the blessings of God pour upon you and your family and ministry always!

Prophetic Vision about Juanita Bynum

May I share a vision with you? This vision I had while returning from a trip a couple of weeks ago. I saw a huge bronze looking angel bending over somewhat as if to pick something up it appeared to be standing over the United States. While praying about this vision the next day or so the Lord took me to Ezek 40:3 where an angel (bronze) with a measuring rod in his hand talked to Ezekiel.

The dream I had will probably sound silly but it is like this. It takes place at a conference type setting, pretty informal, with fold up chairs, casual dress, etc. There was a person standing next to Juanita Bynum describing the clothing she was wearing (very detailed) black pant suit, pin striped with a fascia colored blouse etc., but I was very aware of her weight loss especially in her face. I could see her very clearly because we were sitting about two feet away very close and my thought was we need to pray for her. Then she handed me her hat which did not match the outfit she was wearing because it was multi-colored with gold sparkles. Anyway I took it from her hand looked at it for a moment and passed it down the line to the other women who were sitting with me.

I think there were four. Then I woke up.

Interpretation

An angel of God is measuring the spiritual growth of the churches in USA. The angel of God whom the sister saw in the vision is symbolical of the prophetic messages concerning the nation of USA. The angel in bronze shows the power of God on these prophetic ministers. There is a measuring rod in his hands. Through the prophetic yardstick in their hands, they are measuring the length and breadth in the Spirit realm of the various ministries in USA.

The sister saw a conference type setting there. The prophetic message for the churches begins now about such a man-made conference set up.

In USA, these days, many servants of God are busy organizing many conferences and seminars for giving spiritual food to the people of God. No doubt, people are gathered in His Name during such conferences for worship and praises. But the output of such conferences should have resulted in raising of ministers like Apostle Paul, John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, William Branaird, etc.

God is not interested in human efforts by way of conferences, etc. to revive the churches God is looking for small groups of prayer warriors who gather themselves for fasting and prayers. There are many Bible colleges and schools where God is not glorified, and where the truth of the Word is not preached. God is looking for such teachers whom He appoints to the Body of Christ. They are supposed to practically train the people of God in the five types of New Testament ministries and to teach the students through their own lives and not merely through the Biblical knowledge.

The ministers of God in USA give importance to outward and peripheral things - pretty informal like casual dress, etc. The sheep of the Great Shepherd under their charge should be led to deeper truths so that they may become ministers of God. The ministers expect their congregations to serve them by way of tithes, etc, whereas they do not serve their congregations.

There is a small group of ministers likened to "a person standing next to Juanita Bynum". This person is describing the clothes worn by her. This shows that instead of praying for revival and instead of aggressively evangelizing those towns and cities in their nation which are in the grip of the Antichrist, they are wasting their time and energies on attacking their fellow ministers in the guise of exposing the false doctrines of these ministers.

I have read the testimony of this woman of God. There are many ministers of God in USA who are likened to Juanita Hynum. She was saved from the sexual sins by grace. In her newest book, "No More Sheets" - The Truth About Sex (Pneuma Life, 1998), Bynum recounts her tale of how she was delivered from her self-destructive past to become the powerful messenger of God's truth through obedience to God's will and principles.

In her book, Bynum admits it took years of getting out from under the sheets before she experienced God's freedom and ultimate emotional release. Sheets are layers of emotional baggage that come from past sexual experiences, notes Bynum. The name of her book means putting an end to ungodly sexual relationships.

Bynum knew she had married a man outside of God's will and soon she would pay the price for her disobedience to God's plan for her life. Her marriage was dismantling her public ministry as a preacher in the church. She went into a deep depression and sought out her pastor for wisdom and support.

While at her pastor's house, Bynum says she was overcome with a desire to take her own life. So she swallowed every pill in their medicine cabinet and left. Fortunately, the pastor's wife realized what Juanita had done and they both saved her from being run over by a semi as she walked back home.

Soon after, she prayed for forgiveness. God told her to fulfill all of her marriage vows so that she could experience spiritual freedom. So she tried everything to honor her husband and serve the Lord. One day she got the crushing news that her husband was leaving her. Juanita could not believe she was being abandoned.

Racked with emotional pain from her recent separation, she was unable to work and was reduced to living on welfare. Her ministry unraveled. Juanita went from one bad relationship to another with men who did not respect her or serve the Lord.

In 1983, three years after her marriage to her first husband, Juanita went through an emotional crisis. One evening, she blacked out. A deacon found her walking down the middle of the street in nothing but a T-shirt and jeans and no shoes in the middle of winter. She was taken to the hospital. Alone in a padded cell, Bynum remembers banging her head repeatedly against the wall. "I couldn't talk," says Bynum. "Just the inside of me was crying out."

Eventually her mother paid someone to get Juanita out of the hospital. For some 20 days, Bynum lay in her mother's bed crying out. Then one night, God visited her. "I audibly heard the voice of the Lord calling my name," she says. Juanita saw the ceiling of her mother's bedroom open up and in a vision, she saw a hand clasping a spool of thread. The hand was tying one end of the thread to one mountain peak, and the other end of the thread to a different mountain peak. Then she saw herself naked on that thread looking down at the flames below her. The hand said, "Come to me." So Juanita walked towards it. As she walked she cried out in fear that she was falling. But the voice of the Lord spoke to her. He said, "As long as you keep your eyes on me, you shall never fall. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus."

Instantly the power of God came upon her and she began speaking in tongues for several hours. God then proceeded to show Juanita her new destiny. "And it was during that time that he gave me an open vision of me ministering in front of thousands of people," Juanita recalls. "He said, 'This is your final destination. You're under the mandate of my hand, but with my mind. The minute you decide that you don't want to do what I've called you to do, I will give you back the mind you lost, but right now you are operating with my mind.' And from that point on, my ministry just took off."

Although God healed her mind, Bynum's trials were not over. The worst was yet to come. In 1985, Bynum began struggling with anorexia. As she struggled to hold food down, Juanita went from a size 16 to a size 5. She dropped drastically from 160 to 114 pounds. She knew she needed another miracle from God. Otherwise within six months she would be dead.

Bynum had heard good things about a local 6,000-member church. One evening she visited that church and went to the altar for prayer. As one of the saints prayed over her, she was instantly released of her anorexia and her underlying prejudice against whites.

After a lifetime of struggle, Bynum knows she has found the answer to her past pain. "Every single day of my life I struggle to crucify my flesh," she writes. So what is the solution? "The bottom line to walking out any form of deliverance, whether it's sexual, whether it's emotional, is obedience to God. He knows the way that we take and when He has tried us in our obedience, when He has tested us to see if we are going to do exactly what He has called us to do, then we're going to come out as pure gold."

Bynum is currently an evangelist and prophetess with her own ministry. She has also been a speaker at T.D. Jakes "Woman, Thou Art Loosed" Conference. Her newest video, No More Sheets, was the top-selling video of 1997 with millions of copies sold.

Why should the ministers of God in USA find fault with the other fellow ministers of God who were also saved by grace like Juanita Bynum? If you read the above testimony of this woman of God, you can find that God forgave her in every area of her life even though she had grieved God.

The life of this woman of God is an ensample to us. Through her life, we know how God forgives and restores His erring servants. Juanita Bynum is a prophetic sign to those ministers of God who waste their time and energy in destroying the ministries of their fellow ministers.

The dear sister who saw this vision says that we needed to pray for Juanita Bynum though she knew that she had lost her weight. Let us not bother about how she is wearing and how she lost her weight. Let us only bother to pray for her.

The dear sister saw the hat worn by Juanita Bynum did not match with the outfit she was wearing. She simply received her hat and passed on it to others. If we receive any revelations concerning the dark side of any minister of God, we have to simply pass the same to the other prayer warriors down the line for their intercessory prayers, and not for destroying their ministries in the guise of exposing them.

A dear member of our group (with an e-mail address freebird200@juno.com) saw the following dream and has requested me for its interpretation during May 2004.

"I had a dream that I was in a church and there was an altar call. I felt as though I needed to go up for prayer but for some reason, I hesitated. I did go up after a few moments. The minister was a man in my old church who was praying for the people. When he came to me, he told me to go and to fall forward when he laid hands on me. As I did, I fell on the floor and started rolling. All I could see was stars in my mind. When I got up, I felt very dazed as I walked back to my seat.

There seemed to be many people of Hispanic descent in this church. There was a man decked with all sorts of necklaces and jewels around his neck walking in the church. Then I sat by this woman who was offering me prescriptions of pain killers, but I wondered why, because I wasn't in pain and did not take them. I saw many children in the church building a sanctuary made of scrap cardboard in the church".

Interpretation

Your vision is a prophetic one. The minister whom you saw in your old church is typical of a group of ministers. No doubt, they pray for their sheep but cause the sheep under their care to go into captivity of the spirit of error who is of the Devil. It is a false revival fire. They experience outward emotional experiences but their inward men remain unchanged. A false revival fire is poured out on their sheep in that they experience only emotional experiences and make physical movements of their bodies. But in their lives they do not have the spiritual experience of crucifixion with Christ and the dominion of the Holy Spirit. The minister seen by you in the dream asked you to fall down when he laid his hands on you. In a true revival, nobody would ask you to fall down. When the glory of God is revealed, you will fall down and worship Him. Let us read the account of revival in Wales.

After you fell on the floor, you could see some stars in a vision. Seeing stars in a dream does not mean getting a revelation of God. You have seen only the stars created by God. You have merely got a revelation of the creatures of God and not of the Creator God. It is a deception only.

The end-result is that you felt very dazed. All such emotional experiences did not result in a revelation of God. When you get a revelation of God, you will feel your unworthiness; you will experience His love and you will be filled with His love towards the Body of Christ. You will never feel dazed.

In this church, you see many people of a particular descent. This shows that many sheep of these ministers are of a particular spiritual growth. It is a retarded spiritual growth.

You find a man decked with all sorts of necklaces and jewels walking in the midst of the church. You also find a woman offering you some prescriptions of pain killers. In the churches of these ministers, the deceiving spirits are roaming about. These are the spirits of error and are not of the Spirit of the truth. The ministers in these churches teach that poverty or disease is a curse of God. They lay undue emphasis on material prosperity and bring the worldliness into the churches.

They are interested in preaching selective messages with a view to giving immediate relief to the suffering sheep but they are not interested in teaching on the wonderful blessings that follow such sufferings. They merely offer pain killers but do not diagnose the diseases for offering the right medicines. In this regard, let us read the devotionals of Charles Cowman, the author of "Streams in the Desert".

These churches are merely building sanctuaries of scrap cardboard and not sanctuaries where the Holy Spirit is manifesting Himself through the ministries of the five types of New Testament ministers. These ministers are building their own sanctuaries and not the Body of Christ.

If you are part of a local church of this kind, it is time for you to leave this church and to have fellowship with a church where the minister concerned sincerely loves the sheep under his care and does not lead them to mere emotional experiences and false doctrines and where you get the revelation of the Body of Christ.

Terry Glad, one of our group managers, has sent the following message after reading my interpretation of the dream:

Thank you for sharing this dream and interpretation. I agree with the interpretation. I also believe a most significant sign is given that the children are building a scrapbook of the church. The Bible says they will be led by a child. Youth represent the hope of the future. In the dream there are many things causing the church to crumble and be of no use. However, the children are the ones building. Creating. They are using the resources they have. The cardboard. I believe this means that ministries within the church or lay ministries are building the Church, salvaging from what they find there that can be put to good use, and devoting themselves to the work. The "adults" in the dream are seeking relief from pain, an emotional high, a strong deception, they have "itching ears" etc.

The children, again, represent the fresh move of the Holy Spirit. He is being received by the true children of God. To enter the Kingdom, Jesus said, one must become as a little child. This does not mean literally children will minister; however, it does not exclude God will use children as His instruments in these latter days. The Spirit is being poured out on all flesh; but only those who are open and yielded to God -- not man's religious fabrications -- will be able to receive the power of God to transform lives.

On Ist January 2004, the Lord gave me a word of prophecy as given below concerning a sudden political change in India:

"In India, there will be a great change in the political rule at the Center and this will take those political pundits by surprise who would predict otherwise".

As you may be aware, in India, during the past seven years, ever since the BJP Government (which is dead against the religious minorities, especially the Christians) came into power, a reign of terror was unleashed against the Christians, especially the Christian missionaries. Churches were burnt or destroyed. Some native missionaries were also killed. One Australian missionary, Graham Staines, was burnt alive alongwith his two sons in Orissa during 1999. There have been numerous instances of atrocities against the people of God in India. However, the people of God began to pray to God with tears as and when persecuted. God did hear their prayers.

When I received the above word of prophecy for publishing it for the year 2004, I doubted whether it was due to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. When I hesitated to publish it, the Holy Spirit prompted me to do so.

Till 12th May 2004, the exit poll predictions by many news agencies indicated that there were chances for the present government to remain in power. Yesterday, the election results have been announced. To the great surprise of the people of this nation, the Congress Party which is wedded to secularism and which has taken up the cause of the persecuted Christians has now come to power. The word of prophecy has been literally fulfilled.

These days, we attach little importance to the gift of prophecy or the ministry of prophets. Less emphasis is laid on the gift of prophecy, whereas undue emphasis is laid on the gift of tongues as in the days of the Corinthian Church. Please note prophecy is as important as prayer. Prophecy can be distinguished from prayer. A prayer proceeds from man to God, whereas a prophecy proceeds from a holy man of God to another man or a people or a kingdom or a nation including animate and inanimate things as he is moved by the Holy Ghost (II Pet.1: 21).

Prophecy can change the course of history of a church or a nation. Prophecy can also bring about divine judgment and can cause the rise or the fall of a kingdom. Jesus spoke the words of prophecy to Jerusalem in Matt.23: 37-39 and accordingly the judgment of God devoured Jerusalem in A.D.70 through Roman destruction. A word of mouth from a holy prophet can either create or destroy a thing.

In this connection, it is worth mentioning about a vision seen by late Bro.Glady Easwarraj, my spiritual elder who died in Christ during 1981. Those days, we used to pray during the night for the salvation of lost souls by visiting many parts of Delhi. During 1979, we stood near the Parliament House in New Delhi and prayed for our national leaders. At that time, the government at the Center was a secular one. As we prayed there, the Lord gave a vision to Bro.Glady. In the vision, he saw a huge Hindu temple in front of the Parliament House. After some time, he saw sparks of fire coming from many different directions and hitting this temple. Afterwards, the temple collapsed. Bro.Glady told me that he had seen similar visions whenever he prayed standing before the Parliament House on earlier occasions also.

The interpretation of this vision is like this. During 1979 when this revelation was given by God to us, we were not aware of the fact that a government aligned with the religion of Hinduism would be formed at the Center. This government was formed after a long period of 30 years since the time of the vision given to us when the pro Hindu political party (Bharatiya Janata Party), which advocated the rebuilding of India in accordance with Hindu culture, was voted to power during 1999. Since then this government was in power. God had thus showed in the vision a very big Hindu Temple before the Parliament House. Since the persecution against the Christians continued unabated during this 6 year rule, the people of God in India started praying to God with tears. As the incense of their prayers ascended into the Throne of God, the power of God in the form of sparks of fire started hitting the big temple. Ultimately, this temple collapsed on 13th May 2004. It is God who makes and unmakes kings in this world.
