Do not Mistake Burdens for Depression     Prophecy by Don Franklin, June 2007
I would speak a word to the church concerning intelligence.  If you look around you, you would see what is happening in this earth right now.  You would realize that even when the Lord Jesus was here the Roman army was in occupation of the nation.  They were an oppressed people.  He saw the day when the Romans would knock the temple flat and he warned them.      There is trouble coming.  The blood will flow in the streets and what you have to realize and what you have to understand is you live in a world of trouble.  You live in a world of problems.  You live in a world of conflict.  You live in a world that is fallen.  You live in a world where the god of this world is Satan himself and he creates havoc all over the planet and the only safe place I tell you is in the spirit.   You must seal yourself in and cry onto God and cry onto God and cry onto God for you will see around you devastation and destruction.      Those of your elders who came before you prayed through WWI, prayed through WWII.  They prayed through the Korean War.  They saw great conflict upon the earth.  It did not scare them.  They ran into their prayer closets and communed with God.       You will not live in Disney Land.  This is not a fairytale world that you live in, children.  It is a very real world and there are very real attacks.  There are very real things that happen all around you everyday.  You must learn to closet yourself in and cry unto God and cry unto God and cry unto God.      And do not mistake a burden for a depression.  Depression is when you quit trying.  Depression is when you stay in bed and do not come to prayer meetings.  Depression is when you have given up and no longer even call on God.  Burdens are something that you carry until God intercedes through you and they are lifted.      Moses lifted his hands before the people and he was so weary in the battle that he had to have help or the people would have lost.  You will not do this alone.  You will not be an island unto yourself.  There will be times when you need the strength of those around you, when you come in so burdened by the things that have gone on around you, by the problems that you face that others face, even burdens that are dropped in you for nations and for people.        Hannah was burdened for the birth of Samuel that the nation could have a prophet.  The priest thought she was drunk.  She was not drunk; she was under a burden to give birth to one of the greatest prophets that ever lived.      Do not mistake your burdens for depression.  There are times when you must come in and you will be weighted down by the things that you carry, but you will come in that you may be lifted up, saith the Lord.  Do not stop coming because you are burdened.  Come to the House of God and deliver your burden, saith the Lord.      I will give you the Samuels that are to come in the future.  I will give you the deliverance for the nations.  Do not be afraid of your burden.  Be afraid of depression, saith God, when you no longer even come to pray out the things that are troubling you to walk the floors of God.      Where are you supposed to go when you need help?  Do you go to the bar and drink?  Do you run back to someone who will feed you full of bitterness or do you come to the House of God, walk the floors of God, talk to God, talk to your Friend, call upon God, call upon God, call upon God?  And you will find strength and help in the House of God.  You will find those who will lift your arms up.  You will find those who will encourage you and help you carry the burden.      No man can carry the burden for a nation.  Moses could not carry it without help.  He had to have help.  He had to have people come along side and lift those arms that were weary from warfare.  Daniel fought a long time crying on God, crying on God, crying on God before finally the break through came.  Bring your tired weary self down to the House of God and walk the floors, saith the Lord and I will send in help.  I will send in those who are on top at the moment.      But if you would know the truth, those that are on top for a moment have been down before.  Not everyone is up everyday.  Not everyone is walking with angels and hearing eagles speak to them and flying on the clouds of joy.  It switches back and forth in this great battle, saith God.  Many times you are so burdened you even think you're in depression but you are not.  You are burdened for things and you don't understand it.      You've got to grow up and pray those things out, saith the Lord.  There's no shame in it.  There's no condemnation in it.  There's no problem with it.  You are simply under a mantle of intercession and prayer.  Sometimes it is heavy.  It is very heavy for the things you are crying for.  Hannah was mistaken for being drunk it was so heavy.  But you are not drunk.  You are not a wild child.  You are someone who is walking in the will and the purposes of Almighty God.      So come to the House of God and walk and talk and pray and intercede.  Do not pull back because you are heavy in spirit.  But come down and deliver your soul and God will refresh you and God will reward you for your faithfulness.  The enemy would move and set up a trap; it is the hours of intercession that can spring those traps.  That is why you are so burdened.  You are praying for things that are coming in the future.     Oh, continue to walk and talk and encourage one another.  Love one another.  Life one another up.  Bear one another's burdens.  One of you has a song; one of you has a word; one of you is in sorrow.  Comfort one another; lift one another.  You are a body, saith the Lord.  You are a team.  You need each other.  Those that are up life those up that are down.  Put an arm around them.  Hug them; kiss them; pray for them; lift them up, saith God.  Bear one another's burdens in the Lord and you will be a victorious army and a unit that has power with God, power with God, power with God.      But lock yourselves in in this coming day and learn to cry in God as this gentleman has spoken.  Cry on God, cry on God, cry on god night and day no matter what is going on around you.  You will walk in a wicked world but you can have communion with God in it.

                                                                                              

You will walk in fields of gold      Prophecy by Don Franklin, June 2007
And I tell you, it does not even matter how other people view America.  It doesn't even matter how the politicians view America.  It doesn't even matter how some of the church leaders view America.  I am going to you how I view America.       She is my arsenal, saith the Lord.  She is my policeman of this planet.  She is the instrument of my hand.  And I have made a covenant with this nation that it shall not fall.  It shall not be destroyed.  I will rise in my indignation and my wrath and my fury and I will turn and I will punish those who would hand this nation over to the enemy.      When the cup of iniquity is full I will move; I will tip it with my hand and that which has been going on behind the scenes will be revealed and righteousness will come forth.  There will rise such a strong intercessory move in this nation that it will shift the plates of this continent.  I will bring up such a strong, strong, strong volcanic yell from the intercessors of God out of this nation that it will effect this planet.      Fear not, saith the Lord.  There is a time and a season for all things.  And yes, you've learned how weak you can be, but you will also learn how strong you can be in the Lord.  For when you take on my mantle, my cause, my heart, my strength flows.  It is when you move in your own understanding and in your own abilities to try to move things that it becomes extremely frustrating and unfruitful.      So I call you to rest in the Lord, to trust in the Lord, to put your faith and your hope and your heart in the Lord - not in the politics, not in the nations, not in what you see around you.  For it is only the Lord that can protect you, guide you and guard you through the future.        But if you find the heart of God for your life, if you find the will of God for your life, if you find the mantle of God for your life and you flow in it and you do not try to do things that are outside of that mantle, you will have strength; you will have hope; you will have joy no matter what goes on around you.      There is a famous photo of Winston Churchill walking out of the ruins of one of the London buildings shaking his fist at the Germans.  He had my strength; he had my power; he had my anointing.  He knew that I would prevail over that conflict.  He had no confidence in the flesh, even in the army of Britain.  He knew they were defeated by the Nazi machine across the channel but he also knew there was a God in heaven who ruled and reigned; and he counted on that and he called upon me, and he called upon me, and he called upon me, and he called upon me and he refused to receive the counsel of defeat.  He refused to receive the words of those around him.  He heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord; he heard the Word of the Lord.  And the word of the Lord to him was victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory, victory!      I will give you victory over this horde.  I will give you victory over the powers of evil on this planet.  I will raise up where you know not from.  His deliverance was in the Lord and the Lord saw that man and that nation through.  And that is what you must go to now, is the secret closet of victory with the Lord.        Do not listen to the T.V.  Do not listen to the Arabs.  You listen to God and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God, and you call upon God.  And weapons that you do not know of will be released in the heavenlies.  Angelic host will go forth.  This battle will be won by you, my intercessors, in this nation.  This battle will be won by those who hold unto the Lord in faith.  I will release angelic forces that will turn the tides on this planet and it will come through the intercessions of the Daniels, of the Hannahs, of the Samuels who hear the Word of the Lord and not the word of the enemy, who believe in the Lord their God and trust what God is speaking into their hearts.        What you have to understand is that, yes, you are corporate; yes, you are part of the community.  But this is an individual walk with God.  You are the Moses; you are the Daniels; you are the Elijahs; you are the Samuels; you are the Deborahs of this generation.  Do not listen to your leaders who prophesy doom and gloom.  Do not hear those who do not hear God.  But close yourselves in with the Almighty and commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune, commune and hear the Word of the Lord poured into your heart and lavas and volcanoes of faith will rise within you.  Weapons of war will come out of you that will destroy legions of the enemy.        For the battle truly is not yours.  It is the Lord's.  The Lord will do the fighting; the Lord will raise up the weapons; the Lord will do all of this.  This is actually almost an effortless thing.  When you channel into the flow of the Holy Ghost all things are possible.  Things that can't happen, happen.  Open your eyes and look; it will look like they cannot happen, but in the spirit, in the realm of God they've already happened.        Churchill stood in bombed out buildings proclaiming victory, shaking his fist at the German bombers overhead.  He would climb to the tops of the buildings and see the bombers coming in to destroy London and he would shout at them, "Your day is coming; God will deal with you; God will deal with you; you will go down in defeat."  And there were people dieing all around him, yet he was so locked into God.  He knew there were casualties of war.      There will be casualties.  There will be things that happen., but you must remain closeted with the Lord your God if you would have victory, if you would not be defeated, if you would walk through the coming days as an intercessor of God.  Fields of gold lie ahead of you.  You will walk in fields of gold, saith the Lord, the gold of the Spirit, the gold of the harvest of the things of God.      Closet yourself, I say.  Do not isolate yourself.  Remain in the body, but closet yourself with the Lord and hear what he says to you and then walk upon that.  You can walk on the water if you hear the Lord, but you will never walk on the water hearing the other disciples.  They have no power to put you upon the water; I do.  I can put you where I put Churchill - defiant in the face of the enemy full of victory, full of power - if you do not trade it for the advise of those around you.      There are defeatists in every nation, in every church, every party.  They will counsel your defeat.  They will say you cannot do this, but until heaven tells you, you cannot do it, it is a lie.  I have always brought victory out of what is seemly hopeless defeat.  When Sennacherib surrounded Jerusalem there was no hope; it was over.  But one man walked into the king and said, "They're going to go back.  They're all going back if you will serve the Lord."  And true to the word of one man the armies retreated.        Don't tell me that I cannot do miraculous things with people who walk in defeat.  There is no defeat in me.  There is no depression in me.  There is no loss of hope in me, saith the Lord.  Come unto me and I will renew you and invigorate you and give you hope and strength, and you will walk above the filth of this world.  You will walk in clouds of glory.  You will walk in fields of gold with the Lord.  Your armament will be shining and your sword will cut through the darkest of darkness, because it is not yours, it is mine.  You have united yourself with me and I do not know defeat.  I'm not afraid of a single demon.  In me there is power.        Come unto me, saith the Lord.  I'll give you rest; I'll give you strength; I'll give you victory.  But it is only within me that you will find this.  The naysayers will be with you; the defeatists will be around you; those that counsel will be around you and, oh their counsel seems so wise as times, but it is not the counsel of the Lord.  Find the counsel of the Lord for your particular life and situation and then walk in it.  Closet yourself with me.  Do not separate yourself from everyone, but hold your own counsel, saith the Lord.

                                                                                                

Armies of Judeao-Christian Soldiers     Prophecy by Bonnie Franklin, June 2007
Some are concerned about the length of the battle and the soldiers lives that have been lost.  But in this very nation and on this ground were there not more soldiers who died in a single day?  Thousands and thousands died at Gettysburg when the north and the south did clash their swords.        And so worry not about the length of days.  It's but a drop in the bucket; it's but a drop in the bucket.  For has not this very battle been waging for thousands of years?  It began outside the throne room in heaven when the enemy of your soul was thrown out with the rebellious ones.  And it has continued and it will continue and peace will not reign on the earth until the Son of Man does come.  Until the Lord Jesus does come and sit upon that throne in Jerusalem you will know the battle even as I know the battle, even as my angels are fighting daily.  When Daniel was in prayer the angels were in warfare.     In the days and the times when you think you're at peace, look up above and see the angels that are fighting and feel the peace.  It's an eternal conflict and it will have an eternal everlasting conclusion when Satan is finally bound in that bottomless pit then you will know your time of peace.        And I would even tell you this day, there's a day coming when you will see the armies of the Judeao- Christian soldiers gathered together.  You will see the flag of the lion, the flag of the eagle and the star of David united.  And even if the whole world steps back and it's but these three, they will stand against the enemy.  They will not let Jerusalem be taken!  And they will greet the King of Kings; they will greet the King of Kings!  They will welcome him in.        So look up a little higher.  See the destinies upon this planet and play your role.  Play your part as the intercessors.  Look with the eyes of the Eternal One and see your salvation.  See your Prince is coming.  Look forward to that day.  Be concerned about that day.
